POPSInside The GOP Lie Machine: The Hangman and Health Care Reform
"The insurance industry is up to the same dirty tricks, using the same devious PR practices it has used for many years, to kill reform," says Wendell Potter, who stepped down last year as chief of corporate communications for health insurance giant CIGNA. "I'm certain that people showing up at these town halls feel that they're there on their own — but they don't realize they're being incited, ultimately, by the insurance industry and the other special interests." Armey, however, unabashedly compares FreedomWorks to a lynch mob. "We used to use the old saying in the West, that you got outta town just one step ahead of the hangman," he says, explaining why George Bush's budget-busting policies didn't inspire the same outrage among his 400,000 followers. "That's pretty much what happened with Bush. And poor old President Obama walked into town, y'know, just at high noon." more @ source related http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/0E8658BD-956E-47FE-AD32-CB3C9175F

POPSLiberal Gun Grabber I say again, the last thing we need is another liberal neocon in the White House. John McCain may have an "R" behind his name, but he is just another establishment liberal: one America cannot afford. I wonder how many gun owners and other professing pro-freedom Americans have already fallen victim to McCain's phony conservative campaign? Do they not realize that they are giving a rope to the hangman?

POPSOld Blighty, the birthplace of English "Collins' editors know that old words die hard — and that some people will vilipend (regard with contempt) any execution without a fair trial. So they've offered the chance of a reprieve. They have made public 24 words that face deletion because editors could find no example of their use in their database of English-language books, newspapers, broadcasts and other media. If, by February 2009, a word reappears in that database with at least six "high quality" citations, it could be spared from the semantic dustbin. "We're looking to see if dropping a little stone in the pond of language actually does generate ripples," says Brookes."

POPSCaught in False-Flag: Jewish Student put up Swastikas
This local NBC affiliate reported the lie. The implications can be expanded to regard as suspicious all such sensational claims that the media grabs and pushes, including the many reports of "hangman's nooses" on trees and other places, which become national news FOR A POLITICAL AGENDA. All of these must be looked into carefully before reaching a verdict, based upon the laws of "innocent until proven guilty" and evidence. This shows that it is very possible to stir up racial, religious or political strife through the planting of fake evidence it what could be called "false-flag" attacks--i.e. acts committed by the victim or another party intended to cast blame and prosecutorial powers, or social rage, against another party to fulfill an agenda. This is also a microcosm example of what happened in both 9/11 and the Anthrax attacks which blame was cast by spurious and probably planted evidence to blame "radical Islamic fundamentalists" or "Arabs" without a shred of clear evidence.

POPS"New 'Stealth' Racism" in Jena, Louisiana. 
The town has gained international notoriety for the alleged "new 'stealth' racism" that lives on in America with national attention drawn to the events by prime time radio story Intimidation cited includes an incident in which a white student brandished a gun at a convenience store after a verbal exchange. Students allegedly wrestled away the gun and were then held in custody and charged with theft while no charges were made against the white student. On the first day of trial for Bell, one of the defendants, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charges for Bell to aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated second-degree battery. Bell was found guilty by an all-white jury, and will face the possibility of up to 22 years in prison.
