where are the alleged photos?

by PrionPartyy Tuesday, Nov. 05, 2013 at 10:06 PM

I don't see any Treyvon Martin photos. Maybe that is because Treyvon Martin never existed. Not in ANY records in Florida. And his alleged Parents. They also mysteriously do not show up in ANY Florida records. And George Zimmerman. He is also a no show in ANY Florida records. Zimmerman's alleged father and alleged brother. Again, they too do not exist in ANY Florida records. What about the lawyers on both sides? Nope, they also do not exist in ANY Florida records.

Kind of makes you wonder if Al Sharpton exists anywhere outside of your TV set.

Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation

by crazy_inventor Wednesday, Nov. 06, 2013 at 9:39 AM

Twenty-Five Rules of...
freemasons_treehouse.png, image/png, 600x400

9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.


19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the ‘play dumb’ rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.

you swee? even crazy inventor feels a need to admit the truth

by PrionPartyy Thursday, Nov. 07, 2013 at 8:34 PM

It doesn't matter if the TV set god can't prove that Social Security says that NO ONE named Treyvon Martin ever died ANYWHERE in the USA. Or ever LIVED in the USA.

The TV set GOD you worship says that he did live and that he did DIE over and over again. How can someone DIE if he /she never lived?

What the hell. Someone who never ever existed can die?

That is truly amazing. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

That is like creating life from nothing.

yeah we get it

by crazy_inventor Friday, Nov. 08, 2013 at 4:17 AM

if he doesn't exist then your racism doesn't either



I never even considered this whole affair worth a minute of my time, (any issue/subject/frame/meme/story the corporate media expound I automaticly dismiss) but it sure brought the resident racist out of the woodwork

what racism? Do you even know what that word means?

by PrionPartyy Friday, Nov. 08, 2013 at 4:09 PM

I can't see anything posted above as being racist. And you have failed in the past to point out anything I have posted as being racist.

Pointing out that someone, several people, never existed is allegedly racist?

I believe that someone was shot. Maybe not that night, and certainly not by the Zimmerman character who is also a un-person under Orwel's definition. But that a black man was shot and killed. Who was he? Who's death is being covered up by the bogus story?

One of the photos of the alleged Trevon Martin character was of a young child, maybe 7 or 8 years old. And in the background was a Dairy Queen, and in the window was a poster of a tasty treat that DQ has not sold since 1971. So, doing the math, the photo of the alleged Treyvon Martin makes him just short of 50 years old. So, unless the Martin family has been engaging in time travel, the person in the photo alleged to be Treyvon Martin is about Obama's age. Obama said that if he had a son, he would look like Treyvon. And the kid in the photo sure does look like a young Barry.

So, who was really shot and killed since it wasn't the alleged Treyvon Martin character?

And would you really be so prejudiced as to suggest that we should NOT find out who was really killed? And why, and by whom???

That really would be racist.

re-define racism

by crazy_inventor Saturday, Nov. 09, 2013 at 2:17 AM

re-define racism...
tmw02-23-05colorlowres.jpg, image/jpeg, 720x667

--white racism doesn't exist so the very word is free to be re-defined into 'not chasing made up bullshit down the rabbit hole'

13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards or with an apparent deductive logic which forbears any actual material fact.

2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the ‘How dare you!’ gambit.

3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such ‘arguable rumors’. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a ‘wild rumor’ from a ‘bunch of kids on the Internet’ which can have no basis in fact.

4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent’s argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either _make up an issue_ you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.


7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.



12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to lose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.


14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely.





"..while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues."

the real issue being of course - white racism..

That's it???

by PrionPartyy Saturday, Nov. 09, 2013 at 9:55 PM

That is it??? You fold?

Wow, what a let down.

You RUN AWAY from your own supposition AGAIN??? And we are to see you as anything other than a pathetic BULLY???

Yes. BULLY!!!


Name calling piece of NOTHING that you are and have always been.

And you have the nerve to show your self for what you really are!!!

Well, Americans are sick and tired of bullies. Go back to your cave and wish that some day you have something more to add to the conversations than being a FAILED bully.

Simply stated, you don't live up to the task. You just ALWAYS end up looking chump.

Can't face the truth, run away and hope that anyone doesn't see you for what you really have to add.

disinformist-troll-fail.jpg, image/jpeg, 533x429

5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary ‘attack the messenger’ ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as ‘kooks’, ‘right-wing’, ‘liberal’, ‘left-wing’, ‘terrorists’, ‘conspiracy buffs’, ‘radicals’, ‘militia’, ‘racists’, ‘religious fanatics’, ‘sexual deviates’, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and _you avoid dealing with issues_.

18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can’t do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will _you avoid discussing the issues_ in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how ‘sensitive they are to criticism.’

again with a dust bowl?

by PrionPartyy Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013 at 8:46 PM

when it comes to being vapid, you push the envelope.

If the ONLY way you can rationalize calling me a racist is to re define the meaning of racism...then it is party time for all the real racists that you can not confront.

If you could rationalize calling me a racist, you would have done so by now. The fact that you have failed over and over to back up your bullying slander just showcases that you are nothing. NOTHING is not something I would aspire to be. YOU seem to relish in being a big bully NOTHING.

Good lick with that.

Good Tactics on sly confronts here in comments but no photos of killed guy ?

by questionner Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014 at 9:16 AM

A fake headline elicited interest but no photos of the shot 17 y.o. who was in Fla. apparently or he wouldnt have been killed there, we presume. Just irrelevant pix of people who claim to ally with any causes that get them attention and some media selfies.

The major media reasonably does not bother with small irrelevant self-created-importance groupies that occur anywhere and everywhere and demand to be SEEN and HEARD anyhow, regardless of their actual lack of having any News worthy info to distribute. Oh well...

but the crazy inventor's comment are very helpful and worth reading and even copying, thank you...about often used TACTICS to not be brave or courageous but indirect in actions and confrontations.

the passive aggressive style works well because the denial set-up prevents everyone who 'got the message' they were suppose to get and follow/ obey...but not address or call it because the way it is presented leaves pretend loopholes for the angry denier to exit and say "but I did NOT say That !" ..verbally, orally, aloud, but it was said. In every other way, by implication, gesture, grimaces, and whatever else can be used besides actual accountable words.

good info here. thanks ya all for showing how fake headlines leads to smarter and more valuable commentators info...
an unexpected find !

smarter and more valuable commentators

by crazy_inventor Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014 at 6:30 PM

as I said I automaticly ignore and dismiss any and all corporate media narratives for they're sure to be a waste of time


tomorrow morning's community affairs:
(excerpt)

the best Tor has to offer

Even the few 'blogs' I've seen on Tor are _way the fuck behind what's actually going on here & now._ They show no more than a superficial part-time passing interest in the state of the world. And either spend very little time & effort to find out or simply rely on others for their views - generally presstitutes and PR product.


Tor is a fossil fuel pollution invoked wasteland of scams ripoffs perverts and agents with the cream of the crop being a few head-in-the-sand techno-utopics who are conveniently morally sterile and ethically challenged.
