POPSPETA: Vegetarianism for Sexist Assholes More: You will undoubtedly be 100% unsurprised to learn that there are no videos or national tour featuring Rav, Paul and Ricardo making out with each other in their underwear to promote a healthier, planet-friendly lifestyle. That would be gay, and in its desperation to connect vegetarianism with priapistic heterosexuality, this site makes it very clear that vegetarianism is not for fags. In fact, there aren’t any other pictures of the Broccoli Boys…just their little bio sketches so we don’t miss the important point that they, unlike the Lettuce Ladies, are people. Any other treatment would, of course, violate Patriarchy’s First Law – you don’t treat guys like mindless dick-receptacles, because that’s what the ladies are for!

POPSConstitution? Treaties? Sovereignty? The lamenting over the obstacle that is the Constitution goes on with Liberals and World-Order phony Conservatives (read: today's Republicans) alike. Puppet cable news pundits want to imprint an image of Independents as moderates - in the "middle" of either "fringe". It depends, doesn't it? Higher elites of both persuasions strive to find a way to topple the Constitution, maybe to slightly varying goals, while the Independents really want to maintain sovereignty and the Constitution. Doesn't that put Ind.'s on the Right, with Rep.'s & Dem.'s on the Left? Criticisms against Obama policies are met by Bush criticisms. Enough. That's the wrong paradigm. Isn't it ? Aren't they both the puppets for those of NO county? Of NO allegiance but to a World Gov.? Or am I all wet, here?

POPSGiant Puppets to Tell Tale of German Reunification Up to 52 helpers on the ground and in cranes control the movements of the lifelike models via a complex system of pulleys. The giant puppets, made of steel, wood and horse hair can dance, blink, roll their eyes and even breathe. The girl will also carry a post sack containing letters and postcards written during the Cold War that were intercepted and read by the former East German communist secret police. Organizers have been planning the mammoth spectacle for three years. Hundreds of workers will be on hand to help the giants on their way.

POPSFive Biggest Lies in the Health Care Debate
I am tired of wading through the inflammatory claims designed to scare people into thinking the government is out to rob us blind and turn us all into socialist puppets. These manipulative tactics are not conducive to debate and are designed to hijack the legislative process to fulfill the needs of selfish interests. If any politician cannot debate this issue with truth and honesty and with respect for their opponents and the democratic process then they need to be identified and removed from their positions. Those participating in this despicable charade dare not claim themselves to be American for it besmirches the spirit of our founding fathers and denigrates their intended ideals for this nation. Lies are the tools of desperation and should be brought out into the open along with their underhanded perpetrators. There are valid fears of socialism when the government begins taking over the means of production but valid meaningful debate needs to take place to prevent it.

POPSGreenpeace Leader Admits Organization Put Out Fake Global Warming Data Old news for some. "Sackur accused Leipold and Greenpeace of releasing “misleading information” based on “exaggeration and alarmism,” pointing out that it was “preposterous” to claim that the Greenland ice sheet, a mass of 1.6 million square kilometers with a thickness of 3 km in the middle that has survived much warmer periods in history, would completely melt when it had stood firm for hundreds of thousands of years. “There is no way that ice sheet is going to disappear,” said Sackur. “I don’t think it will be melting by 2030. … That may have been a mistake,” Leipold was eventually forced to admit. However, Leipold made no apologies for Greenpeace’s tactic of “emotionalizing issues” as a means of trying to get the public to accept its stance on global warming."

POPSFascist Symbols In U.S. Congress Fascism is deeply ingrained into American politics even to the point where fascist symbols are openly displayed in congress. The presidential puppets may change but their agenda continues on regardless of opposition because people mistakenly believe in a farcical charade that is only meant to distract from what is actually going on. The Nazi party was a socialist movement as is illustrated by its long form name. "The National Socialist Workers Party"

POPSBullies at Recess Stay in contact with your congressmen and senators during August! Don't let the Insurance Lobby and their puppets, the Republican'ts bully the government into giving you less than the full, unamended Healthcare Reform bill that Americans deserve! If you aren't angry enough to do that, then just think about this — it's YOUR MONEY that the Insurance Industry is using to bribe/cajole congressmen and senators into keeping the current healthcare system; the one that will make all Americans bankrupt within 15 years, in place. They are spending your money in order to ensure that they'll still be able to charge you into bankruptcy. Still don't think the current Healthcare System needs to be stopped?

POPSThe Obama opiate: Crisis deepens, crowds cheer
"The destabilization of Iran, a product of massive US covert operations (and overt political manipulation) continues unabated, built upon the pretext of “restoring democracy”—a “stolen election” hoax, and an aggressive “color revolution” spearheaded by Anglo-American surrogates, aspiring puppets, and hordes of intelligence assets and so-called “liberals” touting “democracy”. The Iranian corridor remains critical, for the control of Central Asian and Middle East energy, and the Anglo-American empire is intent upon controlling it. A blatant coup in Honduras has been carried out in the classic fashion, according to the same intelligence playbook that has been at the core of US-Latin America policy since the Iran-Contra era; the same destabilization tactics used in recent years to topple the governments of Venezuela and Haiti. Domestically, Obama has endorsed the continued surveillance of the American people, and an even more ironclad electronic police state. While the average Ameri

POPSHealth Care Tyranny by 13 Obstructionists In the Senate, both parties have outsourced health care legislation to six Finance Committee lawmakers. The group recently announced it is rejecting essential provisions like a public insurance option that surveys show the public supports. Meanwhile, seven mostly Southern House Democrats have been threatening to use their Commerce Committee votes to gut any health care bill, regardless of what the American majority wants. This, however, isn’t about the majority. These lawmakers together represent only 13 million people, meaning those speaking for just 4% of America are maneuvering to impose their health care will on the other 96% of us. Census figures show these politicians represent exactly the kinds of districts whose constituents would most benefit from universal health care. So why are they leading the fight to stop—rather than pass—reform? Because when tyranny mixes with legalized bribery, constituents’ economic concerns stop mattering.

POPSElaborate puppetry brings "War Horse" to life
Click through for the preview video. If this comes to SF, I'm there, regardless of ticket prices. More: Since opening at the National in 2007 and transferring to the West End this spring, “War Horse” has reduced many London audience members to tears, especially in the final minutes, as they learn the fates of Albert, Joey and Topthorn and whether Albert and Joey will find each other amid the chaos of war. That two puppets elicit this sort of response has inspired the designers to develop a theory they call micromovement. “We work on the assumption that the audience is in fact far more perceptive than they are normally given credit for,” Mr. Jones said. “Meaning, if the puppet is breathing, even people sitting in the very back row can see it. So even the tiniest movement is important, and those onstage need to be aware of it. It’s this focus on the importance of detail in the horse movement that, strangely, has quite epic emotional resonance.”

POPSCalls for full audit of the Federal Reserve - Ignored That's because there has been a silent coup in America – with the Federal Reserve, a tool of the rich and powerful international bankers, used to usurp the power of the people. Now is the time to challenge Congress to reclaim its constitutional authority – and a good first step is Rep. Paul's demand for an audit of the Fed. Does Congress have the courage to take on the powerful money masters? Are members of Congress merely puppets on a string? Will they be content to do as they are told by the bankers, who get richer when times are good and richer when times are bad and who control the money supply and the value of the dollar according to their own needs and desires? It's time to find out. Some say the transfer of power is complete and there is no going back to constitutional government under the rule of law and the will of the people.

POPSThe Daydreamer (1966) Four stories from Hans Christian Andersen appear in The Daydreamer, a feature using the Animagic process that uses live action combined with stop-motion puppets. Included are “The Little Mermaid,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “Thumbelina,” and “The Garden Of Paradise.” Songs and dances compliment an international all-star cast of voices used for the characters. Ray Bolger, Margaret Hamilton, Burl Ives, Hayley Mills, Boris Karloff, Cyril Ritchard, Patty Duke, Terry-Thomas and Victor Borge join Ed Wynn in his second-to-last screen role. This was the last film in which fans would hear the voices of Sessue Hayakawa and Tallulah Bankhead. Director Jules Bass provided the lyrics, with Murray Law providing the music for this entertaining children’s fantasy.

POPSWhat Are You Afraid Of? An interesting list and I picked out those I found THE most interesting to me... Funny that there are 4 or 5 words that designate Fear of Cats but only one for Fear of Snakes! Several definitions are like that with the "One Offs" being the more interesting to me... We all fear something. No one is 100% fearless. I, myself, fear someone hurting others and even up til a certain age, I feared clowns... My biggest fear is Demophobia, fear of crowds. I do not adjust well in front of strangers and at times I have to go inside myself deep to layer a certain sense of removal from strangers and crowds.. It is lumped under Social Anxiety by the Psychiatrists and it is... Yet, once I get to know you, good luck getting me to shut up! Enjoy. Though it does not say, I do not believe this list is all-inclusive.

Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency All non-believers and men stealers talking in the name of religion And there's slow, there's slow train coming up around the bend. People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting They say loose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to live it There's slow, slow train coming up around the bend. I don't care about economy... But it's sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets There's slow, slow train coming up around the bend

POPSHalf Century of a Thickening Plot Only in 21st century do JFK/RFK begin to REALLY make sense for those of us that needed more than just "woo-woo" conspiracy theories to connect the dots. Now we can look back and see the marked contrasts and clear changes in direction that were taken, see how this drive for global control of America's assets deviated into a separate direction, was clearly something other - something foreign - and the earlier steps on this VERY SAME PATH we find ourselves on now. Where we are run by the global money suppliers, and manipulated through the major media, and deceived with a succession of puppets posing as presidents. Obama-Bush-Clinton-Bush ALL knowingly unapologetic and arrogant in their NWO roles. Reagan and Carter were definitely used successfully but held onto their independent streaks. (They tried to kill Reagan, Carter they ran out of town.) It is SO clear, FINALLY, that the Kennedys were defiantly against them that they were assassinated.

POPSWorldwide Massive Protest Against Israel About Gaza
In the U.S. media there is almost no coverage, if any at all, of these protest. This report comes from China. Another powerful anti-Israeli protest was on YouTube, showing a young woman stopping soldiers from shooting into a Gaza crowd; it was reported on Korean TV. While the US press claims it can't get into Gaza (like it can't really cover Iraq, either), real reporters who are not puppets of pro-Zionist politicians and media are on the scene. Massive protest also this past weekend in London let to violent clashes and arrests. Protest in Dublin had scuffles. There were protest in Scotland, Spain, Italy, Germany, a large violent one in Pakistan, and in many USA states. Walling people off into a ghetto, starving them near to death for years with a total blockade and travel ban, and now shooting them like fish in a barrel is a pretty ugly thing to do. It's a crime against humanity. More info, at: www.americancitizenstogether.org, too much to put into a 1000 characters

POPSPlato's Cave - "Is that what we see the reality?"
Socrates: Each of you, when his turn comes, must go down to the general underground abode, and get the habit of seeing in the dark. When you have acquired the habit, you will see ten thousand times better than the inhabitants of the den, and you will know what the several images are, and what they represent, because you have seen the beautiful and just and good in their truth. And thus our State which is also yours will be a reality, and not a dream only, and will be administered in a spirit unlike that of other States, in which men fight with one another about shadows only and are distracted in the struggle for power, which in their eyes is a great good. Whereas the truth is that the State in which the rulers are most reluctant to govern is always the best and most quietly governed, and the State in which they are most eager, the worst.... When a person starts on the discovery of the absolute by the light of reason only, and without any assistance of sense, and perseveres until by
