Three days ago, I posted about communist agitators who were sponsoring and coordinating the protests in Ferguson, New York, Baltimore, and other places. These professional agitators are being sponsored, led, and funded by a person or persons that are unknown. Their stated goal is the overthrow of the US government.

Today, there comes disturbing news that the police in Baltimore were ordered to “stand down” and allow the riots to get worse and become more violent. The story has been corroborated by the Daily Mail.

This isn’t the first time that this has happened. Back in November, the National Guard was told to stand down by the Missouri Governor. This allowed the riots to get worse. Not only that, but police in Ferguson were apparently ordered to back off and allow the riots in August to become worse.

The question that I ask about all of this:
Why are the police being ordered to allow protests and riots to become ever more violent? Where are these marching orders coming from?

The protesters are obviously being coordinated on a national scale, and now it seems like the police departments’ orders are making things worse. Are the two related?

A person may accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, but the fact that the protesters are being coordinated on a national level is, by definition, a conspiracy. The question here is, is our government complicit in the level of violence? If so, who is issuing these orders, and why?

Here is what we know:

– It is fairly obvious that the protesters are being coordinated to stage violent uprisings on a national level.
– The stated purpose of the organizations that are sponsoring the agitators is the overthrow of the US government.
– The police and National Guard have been ordered to stand down in at least two different states. As a result of this stand down, the uprisings were more violent and destructive, and lasted longer than  they otherwise would have.

Whatever the purpose is behind this, whoever is ordering this, the implications are frightening.

Hat tip to the Bayou Renaissance Man

The Walt Disney company has been accused of laying off employees, and contracting out their work to companies that hire foreign workers for a fraction of the cost. 

President Obama makes an incredibly racist speech at the White House Press dinner, and then the White House posts it to its Facebook page.

One of the first lines in the speech is “Hold on to your lilly white butts.”

Can you imagine a Republican saying “Hold on to your black ass” in an official speech? He would be crucified.

Then there are statements about Fox News scaring old, white people.

After that, I couldn’t watch any more. The press pretty much lets this guy do as he pleases without questioning it.

So the State of Florida recently had a two day event called “Operation Green Light.” What this event was, was all of the offices for the state’s county clerks would waive the collection fees for people who had old traffic tickets whose fines had been sent to collection agencies. Watch the report here.

Orange county alone has 400,000 unpaid traffic tickets, which they claim is millions missing from the county’s budget. Did you get that? Counties admit that traffic tickets are about getting more money. The police departments’ primary mission is bringing money into the county coffers, not preventing crime or catching lawbreakers.

I am one of the people who is in collections for an old ticket. I got a speeding ticket in Melbourne in 2001, 14 years ago. I went to the clerk’s office when I got the ticket and paid the fine. Ten years later, I got a letter from a collection agency, claiming that I had underpaid my fine by $45.50. I sent them a letter, telling them that I had paid the fine that I was told to pay at the time, and the fact that the clerk miscalculated the fine when I paid it was not my problem, as I had a receipt.

They responded by saying that fines from a government agency are not subject to the statute of limitations, nor are they subject to the Federal Laws on Collecting debts. They can continue to hound me about it until the end of time. What I DID discover, however, is that they cannot suspend my license, nor can they place it on my credit bureau reports. I sent them a letter telling them that I was not going to pay it, and that there was nothing that they could legally do to force me to do so.

In other words, all they can do is continue to send me letters every month, which they have done since the summer of 2012. In other words, they have spent more in postage trying to collect this fine than the amount of the fine would net them.

This is why government is so wasteful: they just don’t understand money. Even with armed collection agents that can force you to participate, the ability to force you to pay or go to jail, and exceptions to the law that allow them to abuse the system, they still can’t make money.

Did you know that a child who is diagnosed with things like ADD can get special privileges in school like extra study guides, extended time on tests, and other perks, but that the student’s school transcripts and diplomas will not reflect that fact? Did you know that schools are paid more for having these students under their care? For instance, New York State spends an average of $14,413 per year more to educate a disabled student than a regular-enrollment student. 

There are students who actually need these things, but as you can imagine, there are schools and parents that will take advantage of this system. The benefit to the school is increased funding, and the benefit to the student is a slanted playing field.

There are even schools that children attend that allow them to ride horses as a part of their “therapy.” A large number of disabled students and their clever parents, critics allege, have managed to get public schools to pay for attendance at expensive private schools like the one just mentioned. The San Francisco Chronicle describes the case of a student with learning disabilities and an anxiety disorder whose parents “enrolled him in a $30,000-a-year prep school in Maine—then sent the bill to their local public school district.”

In the last three decades, special-education programs in the United States have grown at a tremendous pace. Much of this growth reflects a growing incidence of students diagnosed with the mildest form of learning disability, called a Specific Learning Disability (SLD), and thus the hardest to distinguish from an ordinary cognitive deficit. Between 1977 and 2006, the proportion of public school students diagnosed with SLD trebled, from 1.8 percent to 5.6 percent. By the end of that period, 40.7 percent of all students enrolled in special education had been identified as having an SLD. A limited but growing body of research suggests that financial and other incentives may be responsible for a portion of these increases.

I actually found an interesting article over at HuffPo:

Women’s Ideal Body Types Throughout History.

The “ideal” woman’s body type has taken on a number of forms over the past 3,000 years. In ancient Egypt, it was slender shoulders and a narrow waist; during the Italian Renaissance, it was a round stomach and fair skin; in the 1980s, it was an athletic build with curves.
