Flash mobs are known across the United States as a group of people, dancing, having fun and enjoying themselves while entertaining others.

* NO... (*SCRATCHING MY HEAD*)... NO, THEY'RE NOT... NOT FOR YEARS! IN TODAY'S WORLD WHEN YOU THINK "FLASH MOB" YOU THINK (MAINLY... MOST OFTEN) GROUPS OF BLACKS (SOMETIMES HISPANICS) RIOTING AND ROBBING.

(*SHRUG*)

* SORRY IF THE TRUTH OFFENDS... (ACTUALLY... I'M NOT... THE TRUTH SHALL SET YE FREE!)

However, the Walmart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville, FL., fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise.

* "PEOPLE?" NO. ANIMALS. SUBHUMANS WHO SHOULD BE KILLED LIKE ANY OTHER RABID ANIMAL ON THE LOOSE WHICH PRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO SOCIETY!

According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road.
YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store.

* JUST IMAGINE... YOU'RE IN THAT STORE WHEN THIS HAPPENS... PERHAPS YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WITH YOU... PERHAPS AN ELDERLY FRIEND OR RELATIVE...

* YOU THINK THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE, PEOPLE? YOU THINK IT CAN'T HAPPEN TO YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES BECAUSE YOU'RE WHITE... MIDDLE OR UPPER MIDDLE CLASS... LIVE, WORK, AND "PLAY" IN WHITELANDIA...? WELL... THINK AGAIN! THE FUCKING GENIE IS OUT OF THE BOTTLE. THESE ANIMALS ARE OUT THERE... AND MORE AND MORE OFTEN THE "SHARKS" ARE COMING INTO THE "SWIMMING ZONES."

Police did not make any arrests after the mob of people took over the store.

* AGAIN... IF YOU THINK THE POLICE WILL - OR EVEN COULD IF THE POLITICIANS WOULD ALLOW THEM TO - PROTECT YOU... WELL... YOU'RE A FOOL.

If caught, these teens could face criminal charges.

* "IF...?!?!" "COULD...?!?!" SOUNDS LIKE THE OUTCOME OF THIS MORALITY PLAY HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN. THE ANIMALS WILL GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY DID... AND NO DOUBT THUS BE EMBOLDENED TO REDOUBLE THEIR EFFORTS TO DESTROY CIVILIZATION ITSELF.

* WELCOME TO AMERICA 2012 - THE AGE OF OBAMA, HOLDER, AND CLINTON.

* JEEZ... I JUST HOPE THIS GUY ISN'T A SOLDIER WITH PTSD.

* SEVENTEEN WOUNDED... TWO IN CRITICAL CONDITION...

* INSANITY...

Mitt Romney’s new web video, featuring audio of President Obama singing a few lines from Al Green’s, “Let’s Stay Together,” has been pulled down from YouTube via a copyright claim of BMG Rights Management.

* AND YOU KNOW WHAT, FOLKS... NORMALLY I'D JUST SHRUG AFTER READING "VIA A COPYRIGHT CLAIM." AFTER ALL, ONE MUST RESPECT COPYRIGHTS. BUT... WE'RE TALKING A SNIPPET OF A SONG... JUST AS IF WE WERE TALKING ANY EXCERPT SHOWING A FEW SECONDS OF A NEWS BROADCAST OR RADIO BROADCAST... HOW THIS WOULDN'T BE "FAIR USAGE" I'M NOT SURE. USING THE WHO SONG... VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT. USING MOST OF THE SONG... VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT. USING A SNIPPET... WELL... IN THAT CASE WERE BMG OF A MIND, COULDN'T THEY BE TAKING ACTION AGAINST OBAMA...?!?! (SEE WHAT I'M SAYING HERE, FOLKS...?)

According to a release, the video, titled, “Political Payoffs and Middle Class Layoffs,” used news reports to demonstrate that “[i]nstead of working to restore [our] economic security, President Obama is too busy rewarding his biggest donors.”

* AND THAT'S TRUE... (*SMIRK*)

Perhaps ironically, BMG and Crown/Random House (which published both of Obama’s books, his campaign plan, and Michelle Obama’s new book) are — despite Obama’s concerns about “outsourcing” — all owned by German conglomerate Bertlesmann AG, which bills itself as “the world’s most international media company.”

(*SNORT*)

* FOLKS... AGAIN... CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING! OBAMA IS THE ONE WHO MADE "OUTSOURCING" A MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE! WELL...

(*CHUCKLING*)

So it is interesting that the company that pulled down Romney’s web ad shares a German parent company with Obama’s publisher.

According to their Wikipedia entry, “During World War II, Bertelsmann was the biggest single producer of Nazi propaganda.” The BBC reports that “German media giant Bertelsmann has admitted it lied about its Nazi past and that it made big profits during Adolf Hitler’s reign in Germany using Jewish slave labour.”

* ONCE AGAIN... I WAS ACTUALLY GONNA DELETE THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FAIR. HOWEVER... (READ ON!)

Crown/Random House does good work, and nobody should blame Obama for making millions off of his writing. But just imagine what they would be saying if Romney’s turnaround book had been published by a multinational conglomerate with ties to Nazi propaganda.

* COM'ON, FOLKS... (*CHUCKLE*)... THINK ABOUT IT! THE AUTHOR IS ABSOPOSITIVELY RIGHT ON THAT SCORE! THEY'D USE THIS AGAINST ROMNEY IF POSITIONS WERE REVERSED! YOU KNOW THEY WOULD!

What is more, one wonders if an Obama ad featuring Al Green’s song would have also been pulled down?

* AGAIN... ARTISTS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO PREVENT - OR ALLOW - THOSE THEY CHOOSE TO NOT USE OR TO USE COPYRIGHT PROTECTED SONGS, ETC. BUT, AGAIN... THIS IS A SNIPPET... I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE THIS PASSES LEGAL MUSTER.

(*SHRUG*)

http://www.kgw.com/news/Flash-mob-targets-Troutdale-Albertsons-store-159463245.html

A group of [black...???] teens targeted a Troutdale store last weekend in a 'flash rob' and investigators are trying to identify the suspects.

* ACTUALLY, NO NEED FOR THE (???) - THE VIDEO TELLS THE TALE.

Investigators said as many as 40 (black) kids entered the Albertsons store at 25691 SE Stark Street at the same time late Saturday night and started stealing things.

Security officers chased the thieves out, but no one was captured.

* AND I DOUBT ANY OF THESE "SECURITY OFFICERS" WERE FIRED BECAUSE OF THERE FAILURE TO APPREHEND ANY OF THE CRIMINALS.

[The black teens] also left employees pretty shaken up, including one woman who was in tears after getting terrorized by the robbers.

* AMERICA 2012 FOLKS... THE AGE OF OBAMA...

"Basically it looks like they went in, just to cause chaos, which they accomplished," said Sgt. Steve Bevens with the Troutdale Police Department.

Investigators believe the suspects ranged in age from 13 to 15. They could be seen on surveillance video, roaming from aisle to aisle.

Customers said the store employees were overwhelmed and outnumbered.

"They were bragging and laughing about how much stuff they stole and what they did in the store," one witness told KGW.

* HERE'S WHAT YOU DO IF CONFRONTED BY A SITUATION LIKE THIS: YOU PROTECT PROPERTY AND INNOCENT PEOPLE. YOU USE WHATEVER FORCE IS NECESSARY TO APPREHEND THE ANIMALS, INCLUDING BEATING THEM INTO SUBMISSION IF THIS IS WHAT IS NECESSARY.

A new chart set to be released by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee details an alarming fact: In the last three months, more Americans have joined disability than have found a job.

* THE "OBAMA RECOVERY."

(*SMIRK*)

[B]etween April-June 2012, an estimated 246,000 Americans were added to Social Security's disability insurance program. In that same time period, only 225,000 American jobs were created.

(*SARCASTIC CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*)

[S]ince 2008, 3.6. million Americans have been added to Social Security's disability insurance program. In that same time period, a net total of 1.3 million jobs were lost.

(*SARCASTIC STANDING OVATION*)

"Amazingly, while fewer Americans are working than at the end of 2008, 3.6 million Americans have been awarded SSDI benefits over the same period. The growing number of people on disability and other federal benefits, combined with weak economic growth, raises serious concerns about the sustainability of the American economy," Senator Jeff Sessions, ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, says in a statement in response to these new numbers.

* YA THINK...?!?!

* BY THE HON. RON PAUL (R-TX)

Later this month Congress will have an unprecedented opportunity to force the Federal Reserve to provide meaningful transparency to lawmakers and taxpayers.

HR 459, my bill known as “Audit the Fed,” is scheduled for a vote before the full Congress in July.

More than 270 of my colleagues co-sponsored the bill, and it has the support of congressional leadership. But its passage in the House of Representatives is only the beginning of the battle, as many Senators and the President still don’t see the critical need to have a national discussion about monetary policy.

The American public now senses that the Fed’s actions, especially since 2008, are enormously inflationary and will cause great harm to the American economy in the long run. They are beginning to understand what so many economists still don’t understand, which is that inflation is a monetary phenomenon, and rising prices are merely a symptom of that phenomenon.

Prices eventually rise when the supply of U.S. dollars (paper or electronic) grows faster than the available goods and services being chased by those dollars. This fundamental truth has been thoroughly explained by Milton Friedman and many others, so today’s Keynesian economists have no excuse for their claims that “inflation is under control.”

Ordinary Americans don’t need a PhD simply to look at the Fed’s balance sheet and understand the staggering amount of money creation that has occurred in recent years. They know it will have harmful consequences for all of us eventually.

I've spoken at length about inflation, and how Fed money creation is effectively a tax.

Every dollar created out of thin air dilutes the value of the dollars in your pocket and your savings in the bank.

But the truth is that we are only beginning to see the results of the Fed’s dramatic increase in the money supply. As former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan himself explained last week to Larry Kudlow, most of the dollar deposits created by the Fed via successive rounds of “quantitative easing” remain on the balance sheet of Fed member banks. Because of very rational economic fears, banks are not lending, businesses are not expanding, and individuals are shedding debt. So, the trillions of dollars created by the Fed since 2008 remained largely un-deployed.

* HERE'S THE PROBLEM, THOUGH... (READ ON...)

When those dollars eventually make their way into the world economy, prices across all sectors of the economy are likely to rise dramatically.

* IN OTHER WORDS... FOLKS... YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET!

The true evil of inflation is that newly created money benefits politically favored financial interests, especially banks, on the front end.

Over time, however, the net result of monetary inflation is always the devaluation of savings and purchasing power. This devaluation discourages saving, which is the key to capital accumulation and investment in a healthy economy. Inflation also tends to hurt seniors and those living on fixed incomes the most.

For decades the Fed has operated without any meaningful oversight whatsoever, resulting in the loss of savings, loss of purchasing power, and loss of quality of life for all Americans.

It causes individuals and businesses to make bad decisions, misallocating their capital because market signals have been distorted.

It causes financial ruin by engineering the inevitable boom and bust cycles that so many erroneously blame on capitalism. And it does all this in secrecy, to the benefit of the financial and political classes.

It is time to Audit the Fed, as a first step toward ending its unchecked power over our money and economic fortunes.
