Television as a form of knowledge in the New Age...
The best film ever made about television's war on the population is Paddy Chayefsky's scorching masterpiece, Network (1976). Yet it stages only a few minutes of on-air television.
The rest of the film is dialogue and monologue about television. Thus you could say that, in this case, word defeats image.
Even when showing what happens on the TV screen, Network bursts forth with lines like these, from newsman Howard Beale, at the end of his rope, on-camera, speaking to his in-studio audience and millions of people in their homes...
In the words of Big Journalism correspondent John Nolte at Breitbart News, today's mainstream media is rife with "liars, frauds, partisans, cheats, plagiarists, and those who tolerate, defend and enable all of them."
In fact, he continues, "there is no American institution -- not the NFL, not the tobacco companies, not any corporation or enterprise regularly targeted by the media -- that engages in anywhere near the amount of fraud and dishonesty that serially oozes from Our Media Overlords."
One of the most regular abusers of the public trust -- though always reporting under the guise of honesty and integrity -- is one of the country's legacy newspapers and serial Pulitzer Prize winners: The Washington Post.
Times editors wage war on Russia irresponsibly - by featuring Big Lies and burying hard truths.
Correspondents are prohibited from reporting anything contrary to editorial policy - no matter how true or important, especially on war and peace issues.
Two June Times editorials repeat the same tired old disinformation featured earlier. "Russia's invasion and annexation of Crimea (was) an egregious violation of Ukraine's sovereignty," according to a June 5 editorial.

Continuing our analysis of advanced Psy Ops and information war, it is incumbent upon researchers to understand the Net itself as a product of the world of espionage and cryptology...
The Israeli government and its spokesmen just won't admit that the BDS Movement is not the enemy ….. they themselves are!
More headlines and Op-Eds from the ziopress appear daily with the intention of destroying and discrediting the Movement.
Following are the examples of today (Click on links to see reports)
Nearly 17 million viewers watched Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer in which the Olympian said she has the soul of a woman.
"It takes courage to share your story," Barack Obama Tweeted his support for Caitlyn.
Bradley Manning.
Chelsea Manning.
Yeah, that harsh headline was necessary because we are now in the middle of a bullshit river when it comes to the juvenile crimes of Josh Duggar, the eldest son of the Duggar clan featured on 19 Kids and Counting (aka "That Show We'll Never See Again") and former leader at the Family Research Council (motto: "We don't know any Josh Duggar"). From ages 14-15, Josh Duggar fingered girls, including four out of five of his sisters, and it wasn't just "over their clothes while they were sleeping," as Josh's parents told Megyn Kelly last night on the Fox "news" program The Kelly Sneer.
"It's a dark day for democracy when we are dependent on leaks like this for the general public to be informed of the radical restructuring of regulatory frameworks that our governments are proposing," said Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now.
With 2015 so far running hotter than any year on record, and with May temperatures expected to be in the 0.79–0.84°C anomaly range, it becomes increasingly likely that we will set another all-time record this year. With hope, this will end the discussion of the so-called "pause" or "hiatus," which never existed in the first place.
The organizer of a May event in Texas highlighting cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed said on Thursday that she was the target of a man who federal prosecutors said had intended to behead police officers in Boston.
However, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said it did not seem that Usamaah Abdullah Rahim had developed a specific plan to attack Pamela Geller.
Pamela playing victim! "Oh, feel sorry for me! Please!"

The ugly realities are covered up, not covered; here's an example of what you don't see in the regime's media about the people whom Americans' tax dollars are bombing and killing:
How the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement is changing organized American Jewish life.
The news that Sheldon Adelson will this weekend host a secret conference for Jewish groups aimed at countering the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement is yet more evidence that "pro-Israel" activism in the United States is entering a new phase. The Iran era is ending. We are entering the age of BDS...READ MORE
Alan Hart demonstrates from his experience while reporting from Israel and with quotes from Israeli generals that the Arab-Israeli war of June 1967 was a war of naked Israeli aggression not self-defence.
When the official history of the realm is one day written, it may contain several chapters that establish President Barack Obama as a great flag-bearer of liberty, free trade, and economic recovery. Those chapters will be drenched in distortion, tinged with the blood of true freedom fighters, darkened by the vanished jobs and sickly pall of an economy in permanent decline. But though parlor tricks like fiddling with unemployment numbers and disguising offshoring as free trade are notable for their sheer chutzpa, few deceits are more striking than those that occur in the sordid arena of regime change.
. . . . Red Cross officials at national headquarters in Washington, D.C. compounded the charity's inability to provide relief by "diverting assets for public relations purposes," as one internal report puts it. Distribution of relief supplies, the report said, was "politically driven."
During Isaac, Red Cross supervisors ordered dozens of trucks usually deployed to deliver aid to be driven around nearly empty instead, "just to be seen," one of the drivers, Jim Dunham, recalls.
"We were sent way down on the Gulf with nothing to give," Dunham says. The Red Cross' relief effort was "worse than the storm."
During Sandy, emergency vehicles were taken away from relief work and assigned to serve as backdrops for press conferences, angering disaster responders on the ground.
Two months after the BBC unceremoniously ended its hit car show "Top Gear," the network has scrambled to find replacements for the show's three departed hosts.
Now it looks like network executives are heading in a different direction.
Broadcast evening news programs on ABC, NBC, and CBS completely ignored likely Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's questionable delay in announcing his campaign while he sidesteps campaign laws and continues coordinating with his super PAC. Despite increasing scrutiny of a strategy that "tests the legal definition of [a] candidate," the nightly news programs have devoted zero coverage to the matter since The Associated Press (AP) first reported on it in April.
There is a whole family of next-generation weapons systems being designed and fielded by Russia and the United States, and they are the ones that will shape the next Cold War. Popular Mechanics magazine offers a few match-ups for these future clashes and who will have the edge.
"So we just GOTTA give more money to the Pentagon. We just GOTTA!!!!!" -- ABCNNBBCBSFOX
Every day there is a new report …. every day there are new lies fabricated about the Movement. When will zion realise that BDS will not end because of these lies …. it will end when the occupation ends …. AND THAT'S NOT A LIE!
ver since the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, reality itself has come to seem up for grabs. Karl Rove, a diabolically competent political infighter but of no discernible intellectual weight, may have been prescient when he told us to forget our pedestrian notions of reality—real live reality. Empires create their own, he said, and we're an empire now.
The Ukraine crisis reminds us that the pathology is not limited to the peculiar dreamers who made policy during the Bush II administration, whose idea of reality was idealist beyond all logic. It is a late-imperial phenomenon that extends across the board. "Unprecedented" is considered a dangerous word in journalism, but it may describe the Obama administration's furious efforts to manufacture a Ukraine narrative and our media's incessant reproduction of all its fallacies.
Much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, "poor methods get results". The Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Research Council, and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council have now put their reputational weight behind an investigation into these questionable research practices.
The use of propaganda and negative framing techniques is rampant in both print and broadcast media. These techniques are used to portray alternative spirituality in a negative light, manipulating mass media consumers to fear and despise new religious movements as a criminal evil to be avoided at all costs. This article examines the framing techniques used to harm spirituality.
When we turn on the news, open a paper or watch our favourite current affairs show, we might expect to be informed, not manipulated. What many may not consider or realise, however, is just how biased and sensationalist these forms of media can be, and how much they can influence our world view.

Reminiscent of a 1970's television show, whenever one tunes in to the mainstream corporate news to observe the latest propaganda from the US government and the State Department in particular, the viewer can scarcely contain himself from asking "What will they think of next?"
Indeed, mainstream news and the US State Department must be attempting to top themselves in a contest that could only be titled "Wackiest theory of the week."
Enter this week's contestant: the "Assad is supporting ISIS" claim...
Two years ago, a news article about Venezuela in the Christian Science Monitor reported that "Globovisión, widely considered to be the last standing television station to aggressively criticize the Chávez regime, was sold last month to a group of businessmen believed to be friendly with the government." It is only one sentence in one news article, but in a few ways it reveals that the western media has spent well over a decade parroting anything said by the Venezuelan opposition which is funded and staunchly backed by the US government. For one thing, Andrew Rosati, the reporter I quoted, refers to Venezuela's democratically elected government as a "regime". That alone indicates that coverage of the Venezuelan government has been almost one hundred percent negative. Would any reporter refer to "the Obama regime", and would it ever get past an editor? The same applies to US allies. Good luck finding a western reporter who would dare call Israel's government a "regime" in a news article.
The belated focus of American and British authorities on the alleged wrongdoings at FIFA can be readily seen as both ludicrous and laughable when we compare that with the absolute dearth of interest by these same authorities in applying law enforcement where it ought to be applied – on the Wall Street and City of London banksters.
Both the timing of the US-launched corruption probe – in the week of FIFA's annual conference and leadership election – plus the way that senior American and British officials, not to mention the publicity of Western news media, have weighed-in to rebuke FIFA suggests that it is all part of a coordinated political campaign authored at the highest level of government. That, in turn, suggests that there is an ulterior political agenda behind the supposed criminal crackdown on FIFA, and that the ulterior agenda is the Western objective to undermine Russia.
Oh, ya. Riffing off my piece on the false flag attacks on the youth of our world, calling them the distracted generation, Generation Me, the Dumbest Generations Ever, Google, Inc. What have you.
It's time for part 47 billion of our 219-quintillion-part series on fiction passed off as news. This time, we're focusing on that most lighthearted and adorably jaunty of subjects: ISIS & Friends, who are the evil flavor of the month. For the busy reader on the go, any headline about how they're evil, cruel barbarians is bound to get a few clicks. But it turns out a lot of those scary terrorist stories are about as legit as the plot of a Goosebumps book.
For the first quarter of 2015, The New York Times Company reported a net loss of $14.4 million. The Times would have been profitable, last quarter, had it not incurred a $40.3 million pension settlement charge.
Paul Krugman and Gary Younge are two of the most honest commentators currently writing in two of the best American and British newspapers. The extent of their truth-telling tells us much about the current state of free speech.
The entire editorial board of the Washington Post functions as a group of hilarious quack science Monsanto operatives pretending to be engaged in reporting real news. It's so bad that key articles published by the Post now appear to be "written" by Monsanto, with the "Greenwashington Post" parroting Monsanto's quack corporate "science" talking points. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Post's hit piece response to Chipotle's announcement of going 100% non-GMO on their menu items.
Washington and its echo chamber media attack Putin for asserting Russian sovereign independence and opposing America's imperial agenda.
One has to be on guard when the mainstream media portrays everyone with an alternative view on just about anything as a "conspiracy theorist," derisively of course.
Take JADE HELM 15 (JH15), a two-month United States military training exercise taking place in multiple states from July 15 through September 15, 2015, involving all four branches, but under the command of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, which claimed "'the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart' from previous training exercises."
The organic food market is estimated at $63 billion globally, with more than half of those sales occuring in the United States. (If "natural products" are included, the organic market is $290 billion in the U.S. alone.) It's no wonder, then, why Wal-Mart and other mainstream retailers are jumping onto the organic bandwagon. There is an awful lot of money to be made.
However, according to a damning report issued by the organization Academics Review, the rapidly growing organic food market is built upon a foundation of lies.
This article from a year ago is a hit piece on Organic Foods to protect the profits of food additive and GMO companies. FAIR points out that the report cited in this article provides no proof of the allegations it makes, and points out that author Joanna Schroeder has a pattern of selective citations to bolster a pre-determined outcome.
Israel is the object of widespread admiration for its economic and technical accomplishments and the ingenuity that went into them — for being a nation that made the desert bloom. Much of the admiration is quite warranted, with Israeli talent and resourcefulness having not only produced blooms on kibbutzes but also a leading high-tech sector today.
The Bedouin village of Umm el-Hieran in Israel's southern Negev desert is running out of time and appeals before it will be razed to the ground and an exclusively Jewish town will be built in its place.
As if to prove there are new depths to be plumbed in the world of reality television (because who knew?), CBS just debuted The Briefcase, a show which takes poverty porn, class anxiety, emotional manipulation and exploitation and packages them all neatly into a pretty despicable hour of primetime television. Kicking off each episode with the question, "What would you do with $101,000?" the show then deep-dives into a competition that asks two unwitting, financially strapped families to choose between two no-win options: being financially solvent yet appearing heartless and greedy, or drowning in debt yet having audiences recognize them as selfless and giving.

Vast quantities of our electronic papers and effects are indexed and archived under each of our names (but of course they are not "collected," since collected, it seems, means looked at, not intercepted, diverted, or recorded). This is common knowledge, no matter how many times Mitch "the-content-of-calls-are-not-captured" McConnell Jr. says otherwise.
How many of us, as we daily are forced to witness our government merge with the good old dystopian fiction we were supposed to have read in school, as we realized the chilling literal reality of the surveillance state erected around us, have nervously joked about putting all that data to good use for a change?
On May 25, when a large explosion took place in Latakia, Syria, a few mainstream media outlets covered the incident from the angle of it being yet one more sign that the Syrian regime was losing its grip on power. This explosion was followed by a huge yellow plume of smoke that caused many informed observers to wonder whether or not the explosion was that of a chemical weapon.
On the chemical weapons question, however, the mainstream Western press was silent...
Bob Schieffer is retiring, with Sunday's "Face The Nation" being announced as his last show and in the commentary from Schieffer seen below, he makes some stunning admissions that show what MSM journalists believe their "job" is.

Finally it's happened! A member of the mainstream press has the intestinal fortitude to publish the carefully 'kept secret', secret about vaccines and vaccinations: They cause dramatic life-altering damage and more frequently than "evidence-based medicine" or "consensus science" owns up to or MDs, the medical profession, public health agencies and pro-vaccine acolytes acknowledge.
The UK's Independent Newspaper published some extremely damning vaccine adverse drug reaction (ADR) information on May 31, 2015...
Jeffrey St. Clair, one of the few remaining Western journalists with a moral conscience, describes the latest Israeli horror to which we are all accomplices.
The Israel Lobby tries to prevent reports and criticism of Israel's crimes against the Palestinians by branding every critic of every policy of the extreme right-wing Israeli government an "anti-semite." In other words, if you object to Israeli armed forces shooting down Palestinian children in the streets and then bombing the funerals of the kids the Israelis have already murdered, you hate Jews and are an anti-Semite.
The success that the Israel Lobby has enjoyed in imposing this twisted logic on Congress, the White House, the media, the universities and the insouciant American public is astonishing. As a consequence, Americans are no longer answerable to Christian morality but to the evil that the Israel Lobby represents.
Divide et impera? It's not working. And it's bound to fail miserably.
As it stands, what we do know is that 2015 will be a hair-raising year in myriad aspects... we all still remain under the sign of a fearful, dangerous, rampantly irrational Empire of Chaos.
Russia could outmaneuver Western financial markets by cutting them off from its wealth of oil and natural gas. The markets would inevitably collapse – uncontrolled chaos for the Empire of Chaos (or "controlled chaos", in Putin's own words).
In a different vein of the "soft beds of the East" seducing Marcus Aurelius, the silky splendors of chic Beijing offer a glimpse of an extremely self-assured emerging power. After all, Europe is nothing but a catalogue of multiple sclerosis and Japan is under its sixth recession in 20 years.
You'd have to be comatose not to know of the startling revelations of massive corruption in FIFA that amounted to $150-million in the past few years alone. Eight current or former senior officials were suddenly arrested at dawn at their posh Swiss hotel, where they were preparing for today's international meeting.
"There's a general recognition growing that the driving force for this war is the utter collapse of the entire Western banking system," Billington said.
"And the view from London and Washington and New York is we have to go to war, we cannot allow this BRICS alliance between Russia, China, India, South Africa and most of Latin America creating new financial institutions to take away our ability to loot the resources in the developing sector," Billington noted.
The increasing deployment of American navy, warplanes and missile systems – under the guise of «protecting its partners» – is fuelling militarization of the territorial disputes.
US deteriorating relations with China are the latest manifestation of America's self-declared «manifest destiny» to behave like a global hegemon.
China, for its part, says that its own military presence in the region is to protect its voluminous trade routes. Beijing has pointedly refused to cease its maritime development projects, mainly land reclamation in shoals and reefs that it says are strictly within its territorial limits.
The US State Department cannot confirm media reports alleging that Russia has delivered mobile crematoriums to Ukraine, US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told CNN on Wednesday. However, she continued to claim that Russia was trying to hide its presence in Ukraine.
The gatekeepers have, I believe, crucified American poetry upon a cross erected by "language poets," "identity poets," "politically correct poets," "apolitical poets" and general nincompoops -- Gary Corseri
The Arts have fallen into an era of petite academicism, crass commercialism and manipulated populism. So, our challenges are many; they are harsh; let us hope they will be invigorating!
Poets who do not see, who do not confront what is out there and around them-- are cowards! Which needn't mean that that is ALL we must do! But… we must see and confront what surrounds us at some point! Not always…, but when it's right to do so. To advocate that we always do it is asking us to be propagandists.José M. Tirado
Stuart Littlewood challenges Hamas and the Palestinian Authority to get a grip and reach out with news and briefings to those who are likely to use their material, including the alternative media.
It might be a little unfair to criticize Tomorrowland for sticking to themes that, admittedly, are fine and comforting presences in a childrens' movie. However, Bird's commitment to abstract banalities and spineless pep talks accomplish neither. Kids should be encouraged to hope and dream and invent fun things. Hell, everybody should. That's still no excuse for a mess of a story that contradicts itself tonally, politically, and philosophically. Tomorrowland isn't going to inspire the world's next generation of scientists. It takes a lot more than a movie to do that.
I am not in the regular habit of posting reviews about movies. I generally prefer to write my own when needed.
But since I discussed this latest Disney film, "Tomorrowland" in the context of its pandering to the global warming agenda, I figured it is relevant to mention in follow-up that Disney has a $190 million flop on its hands!

Disney's 'Tomorrowland' movie fails to meet high expectations
'Tomorrowland' Dreams Big, But Fails To Rake In Big Bucks At The Box Office
'Tomorrowland' sermonizes, fails to inspire
And finally 'Tomorrowland' Exposes Hollywood's Originality Problem
The last one is right on the button. Ever since Eisner, Disney projects have been planned by marketing people who treat a movie like a salad; add a few more nuts and flakes and people will want to eat it. That may make sense designing a menu but is a recipe for losing the narrative in a film, and along with it your audience!
Moving beyond Disney, the political correctness movement which infected Hollywood in the 1990s repeated the mistake made during the McCarthy years of driving the most creative and original people out of the industry for the crime of ... being creative and thinking truly original thoughts, meaning thoughts the government doesn't like. Been there, done that, didn't buy the T-shirt!
The best minds in Hollywood have been kicked out of Hollywood, because obedient dummies are what is wanted!
Disney may have felt they could return to the formula of "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" which ran from 1954 through 1993. Originally run on NBC to fill out their transition to the full-color network, NBC thought they were getting the catalog of Disney movies and cartoons, only to learn to their dismay that every 3rd program was basically an infomercial for the Anaheim park. Back then it worked, as with a medium with only 3 channels, anything on TV was seen as special and exalted. In today's media-saturated world with a thousand channels (and endless re-runs) being seen on TV does not have the social status it once did. Social media, which makes everyone their own production company, has ended the mystique of being special just because you are seen on an appliance! Basing a movie on a section of the theme park (even if just the title) backfired.
Hollywood today does lack creativity because the truly original thinkers are banned, as they were back in McCarthy's time, and like McCarthy's time Hollywood is trying to survive by resorting to endless remakes of what-worked-before-only-better. That too, is also a thing of the past as everyone has seen the earlier versions on their thousand channel cable more times than they wanted to!
There are, of course, original stories out there; stories people would really like to see, like how Vince Foster really died, or how the US Navy shot down TWA 800, or how the Lusitania really was carrying weapons of war, and so forth. But Hollywood, ever the propaganda servant of the US Government will not dare touch those, nor anyone who even talks about them. And so it is back to endless remakes of what-worked-before-only-slightly-different, with the inevitable politically-correct twists.
Disney just learned a hard lesson that people no longer buy a ticket to see every movie, and the Disney name is not a box-office guarantee any longer; not since the Disney family got the heave-ho.
Disney put $190 million into this film. The Hollywood rule of thumb is that after advertising and distribution costs plus the theaters' percentages, a film has to take in 2.5 times that original budget at the ticket windows (DVD and cable sales) just to break even. That means in the case of "Tomorrowland", $475 million, almost half a billion at the box office just to break even. Despite today's high theater ticket prices, I doubt Disney will see that much cash from this disaster, and frankly never intended to see it myself, given its overt pandering to the global warming hoax.
And that last part might also explain the lukewarm sales for the film. More and more people know the global warming claims are a hoax, which make it hard to take seriously a film that treats it as real. For people my age, who listened to promises of the glorious future world we would all grow up to see, only to wind up living in ... Detroit, the optimism of "Tomorrowland" rings very hollow, almost like the Busby Berkeley films of the 1930s depression, but without the leggy dancing girls in skimpy costumes!
That is not enough to hold our attention, no matter how great the visual effects are!

That is not enough to hold our attention, no matter how great the visual effects are!
The Lord Greville Janner affair shows no signs of winding down despite the best efforts by the authorities to kick it into the long grass. Each week brings new revelations about the former President of the British Board of Jewish Deputies, who is suspected of at least 22 cases of child sexual abuse.
Up until now the scrutiny has mainly focused on how, although said to be too ill with dementia to be tried, the 86-year-old founder of the Holocaust Education Trust was able to take part in parliamentary debates, collect a hundred thousand pounds in expenses, and was compus mentus enough to sign over his property deeds to his children thereby putting them out of range of any damages litigation.
Al-Nusra Front has taken to the airwaves with a message for all Westerners and Americans in particular – they really aren't that bad. And there are no plans to attack Americans. They are just your friendly neighborhood terrorist organization, funded handsomely by the West and the GCC, raping and beheading their way across the Middle East. There's nothing to worry about so long as the US allows them to continue to rape little girls, cut off heads, impose savage Sharia law, and eat the hearts and livers of the occasional dissident.
This message was brought to you by the feudal monarchy of Qatar and its mouthpiece organization, Al-Jazeera and conducted with a journalist whose past is checkered with a conviction of supporting al-Qaeda...
The melodrama had the air of a politically driven media campaign for maximum publicity.
?But the real goal of the full-frontal assault on FIFA, which involved dawn raids at a five-star hotel in Swiss city Zurich, seems more to do with American political purpose to damage Russia's World Cup plans. That objective has to be seen in the context of Washington's aim to isolate and destabilize Moscow in an ongoing geopolitical battle that is currently centred on Ukraine.
Russia's World Cup plans appear to be now similarly targeted for an ulterior political agenda. Within hours of the US-launched arrests of FIFA officials in Zurich, the football federation was obliged to state that the forthcoming World Cup in Russia was not in jeopardy of cancellation over related claims of wrongdoing in the selection of that venue.
If one were to propose a realistic and reasonable 'US Grand Strategy toward China' one would have to start by shedding all the false assumptions and bellicose proposals that have been put forth by the CFR and the authors of the Report under review.
The US should not attempt to block China's growth and expansion; it should assist and share in its ascendancy, especially in the face of great global climate and energy challenges. Washington is much more likely to strengthen its Asian – Pacific partnership and succeed in its diplomacy if it replaced its military posturing with robust economic growth.
It's been just more than two months since a Saudi Arabia-led coalition began its airstrike campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen, and the country has since become a "humanitarian catastrophe," experts said Thursday.
"I am shocked about what I have seen," said Medecins Sans Frontieres' Middle East Operations Manager Pablo Marco, who spent 50 days inside the country recently. "The biggest problem is the fact both parties in the conflict are not respecting the civilians and, specifically, they are not respecting medical facilities and medical staff."
Marco was one in a panel of three experts in Washington who took a hard line against attacks by the Houthis as well as the 10-country coalition engaged in a bombing campaign against them for the past 10 weeks. The U.S. provides intelligence and material support to that Arab-led coalition.
The Yemenite people deserve their own peaceful self determination.
The Saudi attacks have been engineered to destroy the people of the country, and the infrastructure, so that the Yemenite people will beg for their old dictator, al-Saleh, back.
That common arc is more of an indictment of U.S. political culture than Hastert himself, but he's certainly been happily and hungrily feeding at the trough. A political system that essentially ensures that every powerful political official becomes extremely rich is one that is inherently corrupt – as we've been taught for decades about those Bad Other Countries – and that is the most interesting and most important part of this story.
But Hastert was not indicted for any of that. Nor was he indicted for the alleged, unspecified "past misconduct" against an unnamed person to whom he agreed to pay $3.5 million to keep concealed.
Instead, Hastert was indicted for two alleged felonies: 1) withdrawing cash from his bank accounts in amounts and patterns designed to hide the payments; and 2) lying to the FBI about the purpose of those withdraws once they detected them and then inquired with him. That's it. For those venial acts, he faces five years in a federal prison on each count.
I seriously doubt that Hastert will actually do real time; if he does, he will get off with a slap on the wrist, and short sentence to a "Club Fed", which I am sure, his attorney is working on right now.
And yes, our alleged "justice system" is completely skewered in favor of the rich, privileged, and powerful.
It should not be this way at all.
And why our prisons bulge with prisoners, when Sweden is emptying its jails, (because the total approach there is rehabilitation, so that people do not re-offend) leaves much to ponder.
But what did White think about U.S. politics in private? See if you can spot the subtle difference between White's public statements and this letter he wrote to a close friend on August 31, 1960 during the Kennedy-Nixon campaign:
It all seemed rather innocent in the beginning. It certainly seemed convenient, and still is – maybe more so than ever, to be truthful. But if you haven't noticed, slowly and gradually, during the past 17 years since its inception, Google has evolved from being a company which once merely provided Internet users with a free search engine and email to becoming an all-encompassing entity that monitors nearly everything you do.
The U.S. House Of Representatives recently passed an act that would prohibit abortions from 20 weeks after fertilization, except in cases of rape, incest or when the life of a mother is endangered. A photograph in the womb at this stage of development is shown on the right.
The legislation states that its purpose is to protect "the lives of unborn children from the stage at which substantial medical evidence indicates that they are capable of feeling pain." According to the bill's authors, this occurs "by 20 weeks after fertilization, if not earlier." Media outlets, however, are reporting otherwise.
Mr. Gowdy's chief interest, according to people briefed on the inquiry, is a series of memos that Mr. Blumenthal — who was not an employee of the State Department — wrote to Mrs. Clinton about events unfolding in Libya before and after the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. According to emails obtained by The New York Times, Mrs. Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, took Mr. Blumenthal's advice seriously, forwarding his memos to senior diplomatic officials in Libya and Washington and at times asking them to respond. Mrs. Clinton continued to pass around his memos even after other senior diplomats concluded that Mr. Blumenthal's assessments were often unreliable.
But an examination by The Times suggests that Mr. Blumenthal's involvement was more wide-ranging and more complicated than previously known, embodying the blurry lines between business, politics and philanthropy that have enriched and vexed the Clintons and their inner circle for years.
But as other national security experts note, the Patriot Act is far from a safeguard against terrorism. In an op-ed published last Sunday, ACLU legal deputy director Jameel Jaffer criticized the media's choice of publishing such quotes wholesale without challenging their veracity. The "claim that the expiration of Section 215 would deprive the government of necessary investigative tools or compromise national security," wrote Jaffer, "is entirely without support."
Yet why is the NY Times -- the so-called "paper of record" -- repeating blindly government propaganda about how important it is to keep the program alive? Keep fear alive, NY Times. Keep it alive.
The BBC is currently casting for a new show that seeks to pit the unemployed and low-paid workers against one another to win a cash prize.
The contestants will be expected to 'prove' themselves, much like those in Suzanne Collins' hit series The Hunger Games. A representative from the production company elaborated and stated that 'people will be put to the test in a series of challenges and tasks'.
Sometimes people ask me: Why do smart, elite journalists quote people who they know are lying, or being moronically stupid, but not call what they say lies and stupidities? Why do they engage in split-the-difference false equivalence in political coverage that leaves readers terribly uninformed about what's really going on?
And I say: One big reason is the cocktail parties.
For most consumers of alternative news and media, the lineup of the players constitutes the tyrants and their systemic control, and the enlightened underground, with both sides fighting the great battle of winning the hearts and minds of the rest of the public. For the alternative news and information community, the possibility of large-scale psychological operations within alternative media itself are generally outside the spectrum of the possible. Indeed, crowds today are sill cheering on Assange and his Vaudeville Whistleblower Roadshow with Bradley-Chelsea Manning, and more recently finding themselves intellectually snowed in by our last hero, Snowden.
Jade Helm 15
In 2015, the focal point has become the Jade Helm 15 training operation across at least 7 states, with SOCOM running the training exercise for realistic military training...
With key provisions of the USA Patriot Act nearing a long-awaited expiration date, there remains one last adversary to take down in the fight for privacy rights: the corporate media.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received information about the Benghazi attacks on her private email which were later marked "classified" when requested by the U.S. Congress and watchdog groups, according to documents released by the State Department on Friday. The department made public hundreds of emails from Clinton's private server related to the congressional investigation into the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya. The emails are only a sliver of the 55,000 pages of emails Clinton gave President Obama's Department of State, and they don't include the email scrubbed from her private server.

The anti-Islam American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) is planning to run an advertising campaign in Washington, DC featuring the cartoon that won the controversial Prophet Mohammed drawing contest in Texas earlier this month.
Critics called the exhibition and contest a provocation.
So, in the event that you'd like to save yourself the bother of reading it in its entirety, I'll summarize: Stephen Cohen, formerly respected Russia scholar, disagrees with the White House on Ukraine and is therefore a Putin stooge. That's really the long and short of it.
RFERL laid into Cohen for "defending the Kremlin's agenda" in the piece which presents an account of his recent debate with Washington Post columnist (and determined neo-con agenda pusher) Anne Applebaum and former world chess champion player Garry Kasparov.
The piece quotes Angela Stent, director of the Center for Russian Studies at Georgetown University, who explains why Cohen's Kremlin defense crosses the line; because, she says, it's not just that Cohen is saying he understands Putin's motivations, which would be semi-okay (maybe, kind of, sort of), but it's that he actually has taken the position that "Putin is right".
Dare to publish a scientific study against Big Biotech, and Monsanto will defame and discredit you. For the first time, a Monsanto employee admits that there is an entire department within the corporation with the simple task of 'discrediting' and 'debunking' scientists who speak out against GMOs.
The WHO recently classified glyphosate, a chemical in Monsanto's best-selling herbicide Roundup, as carcinogenic – news that is really heating things up with biotech. So Monsanto has been demanding that the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) retract their statements about the poisons's toxicity to human health.
It is time to cut these losses and bring some heavyweights into this battle against extremism.
Baghdad and Washington are pointing fingers, each accusing the other of being asleep on the job.
An objective look at US interests in the region paint an entirely different picture. The Americans seek to maintain absolute hegemony in the Mideast, even as they exit costly military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Their primary interests are 1) access to low cost oil and gas, 2) propping up Israel, and more recently, 3) undermining Russian (and Chinese) influence in the region.
Memorial Day used to be a somber occasion, dedicated to reflection and remembrance of those killed in America's wars. Today it is instead a celebration of ongoing wars, a long shopping weekend and the unofficial start of summer. Part of the problem with America's shifting perception of the price to be paid when one goes to war is that it has been shaped by Hollywood and video games, so much so that it has become divorced from the horrible reality of what happens when countries and peoples do their best to kill each other. Protected by two oceans, the continental United States has been largely immune from being on the receiving end of war, not suffered any form of military attack since Pancho Villa rode against Blackjack Pershing in New Mexico in 1916. And apart from some experiments with weather balloons launched by the Japanese in 1942, the country has never been subjected to aerial bombardment.
As if the drought wasn't enough: A widely viewed YouTube video has predicted a 9.8 magnitude earthquake will strike California today.
But those of you reading this from the Golden State almost certainly need not worry. The source of the prediction seems unreliable at best.
This feels like a pathetic publicity stunt to get people interested in seeing the new movie "San Andreas", about a monster California quake.
Trial of 'Auschwitz bookkeeper' told how gas chamber pesticide was so weak it could take holocaust victims 'longer than half-an-hour to die'
They slipped up and admitted Zyklon-B is actually a pesticide, like the American DDT! It was used for delousing to try to stop the spread of Typhus across Germany towards the end of the war; a consequence of the collapsing health infrastructure and possibly biological warfare.
It is happening again.
History may seem to repeat, but more accurately it rhymes.
This 1969 chronicle and analysis promises to teach us much, and we do well to listen. A sociological thriller, a nail-biter, a roller coaster ride for the ethically conscious, with everything from the bitterly funny to the obscenely familiar. As a bonus, one is left with a more thorough and effective understanding.
Perhaps such Evils may at long last belong to history alone.....

A few weeks ago, he was asked as an honored guest on Bonnie Faulkner's show, Guns and Butter which talks about the politics of economics and airs on Pacifica KPFA public radio stations. In the spirit of truth, Bonnie wanted listeners to hear the other side of the vaccine talk, not the "case closed" version. What you're not being told about vaccines. And specifically SB277, the California bill to mandate vaccines for virtually all Californian school children. Who better to ask then Null, an alternative health expert, medical activist and Pacifica veteran?
When it came time to air, however, they were told they weren't allowed – or rather, they were outright censored and the show was cut
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death for his role in the Boston Marathon bombing, though important FBI statements were never heard at trial. Photo adapted from: ZaldyImg / Flickr Now that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death for his involvement in the Boston Marathon Bombing, and the lengthy inevitable Death Row appeals process begins, the investigative work for conscientious journalists continues as well.
Gary Null has been a popular, longtime radio host with the longest running health talk show which airs on Progressive Radio Network. He has authored and directed dozens upon dozens of books and documentaries.
When Baltimore exploded in protests a few weeks ago following the unexplained paddy-wagon death of a young African-American man named Freddie Gray, America responded the way it usually does in a race crisis: It changed the subject.
The Obama administration has repeatedly sent wrong signals to Russia, China and Iran, slamming the countries for non-existent expansionism and so far showing the disheartening dysfunction in America's foreign policy, former CIA Case Officer and Army Intelligence Officer Philip Giraldi underscored, according to Sputnik.
US President is shooting himself in the foot, but he should wake up and realize what is going on "before Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush arrives on the scene to make everything worse"the former CIA officer Philip Giraldi concluded.
My distrust has deepened of Seymour Hersh's retelling of the Obama regime's extra-judicial murder of Osama bin Laden by operating illegally inside a sovereign country. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/05/11/seymour-hersh-succumbs-disi... That Hersh's story, which is of very little inherent interest, received such a large amount of attention, is almost proof of orchestration in order to substantiate the Obama regime's claim to have killed a person who had been dead for a decade.

hat tips: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here :)
Asset-hole and so-called "too big to jail" banks admitted criminal looting through market manipulation and collusion last week, and will return a mere 33% of one quarter's income without prison sentences (total "fine" of $5.7 billion from $15.5 billion 2015 1st-quarter combined incomes - see below).
Please note that the US Department of Justice (sic) fails to communicate the amount looted by the banksters, only the "fines" without context of:
this is a bankster operating expense for pretending to operate under law,
"regulators" serve in government "minor league" positions until "called up" to work for the banksters in the "big leagues,"
requiring the banks to "fire" eight responsible executives without prison sentences just allows them to be rehired by other banksters to resume "business" as usual.
First, we must learn the facts and face the truth that the U.S. is the biggest war maker in the world.
Second, we must commit ourselves and organize others to a true revolution of values and confront the corporations and politicians who continue to push our nation into war and inflate the military budget with the hot air of permanent fear mongering.
Third, we must admit what our country has been doing wrong, and we must make amends for the violence that the U.S. has waged on countries all over our world.
Be careful what you wish for
Regime change is full of unintended consequences.
In the case of Syria, our opposition to the Assad government is so obstinate that we are apparently promoting the defeat of a government that is not our enemy in order to replace it with one that is.
Beijing and Washington are not mere ships passing each other in the South China Sea – they are the two countries vying to play the commanding role in Asia.
While China seeks to redress what it sees as violations of its sovereignty, Washington does have policy options, but are any of them effective?
Captured British journalist John Cantlie has written an article for the Islamic State in which he claims that the possibility of an ISIS nuclear attack on America has risen "infinitely."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is at it again. After speaking in Sacramento, California against SB-277, pummeling the Centers for Disease Control during public testimony in Vermontand appearing on Bill Maher's HBO show to do the same, he has now broke major news during a recent interview. Speaking with former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura regarding the vaccine industry and big pharma, Kennedy confirmed what many have assumed by stating:
"I ate breakfast last week with the president of a network news division and he told me that during non-election years, 70% of the advertising revenues for his news division come from pharmaceutical ads. And if you go on TV any night and watch the network news, you'll see they become just a vehicle for selling pharmaceuticals. He also told me that he would fire a host who brought onto his station a guest who lost him a pharmaceutical account."
What about America's liberal media elite? Do they, too, have some sort of legal immunity? Not technically as there are no laws or constitutional provisions that specifically exempt progressive elitist members of the press from legal prosecution.
However, author Katie Pavlich, news editor of the conservative TownHall.com news and opinion web site, says they might as well have immunity because they get away with criminal behavior that would likely land ordinary citizens behind bars all too often.
On at least two other occasions, La Roche has expressed similar sentiments.

Rasmussen Reports released the results of a national survey on Thursday that revealed 61 percent of likely voters have no trust in the political news they are getting. That's a 16-point increase from the 45 percent who said they did not trust the political news in a poll conducted in October 2014. Only 21 percent of the respondents said they still have confidence in the political coverage they get, but that's a 12-point decrease from the 33 percent in the October 2014 survey. Seventeen percent (17%) are not sure.

We had friends who had gone multiple times to the sister resort Majestic Elegance (next door) so since this was our first time in Punta Cana we tried to follow their recommendation but could only find room at the Colonial. We believe we were really lucky as the Club section of Colonial is newer and smaller than the one at Elegance so it feels more friendly. We had a Club Junior suite with Club member privileges, which include a special Club lounge with wifi internet and computers, access to the adults only club pools and bars, special roped off area on the beach etc. The rooms have minibar service and in room service is free to club members. We had a bottle of champagne, rum, vodka, whiskey and Irish cream in the room plus beer and pop that gets refilled everyday as you consume or if you want more you could always take whatever you needed from the club lounge. Room service would go by everyday and knock on the door, if you were in the room they would drop off plates of sushi or fruit and bottles of wine.
The resort is a good size , everything is a short walk to each other, no room is too far from anything and you don't need a shuttle service like in some other resorts. We had room 3330 right in the middle so we had a 1 minute stroll to the beach , or a 1 minute stroll to the restaurants, we had a view of the Club pools and a sliver of the ocean from in between palm trees also a view of the main pool with the zumba and dancing classes which we enjoyed watching while drinking champagne or Rose on our balcony. We preferred the main buffet for breakfast and dinner as they had the most choice and would have a different theme each night. For late breakfast or lunch the restaurant on the beach was our favorite, as we could sit and enjoy the view of the ocean as we ate.
We spent most of our day on the beach, great sand, nice breeze, constant service if you wish. Never felt over crowded like the other resorts we walked in front of along the beach. You always found a palapa if you needed shade, some other resorts had no shade options on their beach sections. so keep that in mind if comparing.
Did a dune buggy excursion and scuba dive to the coral reefs 10 minute boat ride out into the ocean. Both were very enjoyable.
The staff were great, always happy and easy going.
I fear this resort has set the bar quite high for future trips and if returning to Punta Cana we would definitely opt for Majestic Colonial.

Kourtney Kardashian Posts a Poolside, Leopard Print Bikini-Clad Belfie
The beautiful thing about modern technology is that now not only can you use your telephone to call people, but you can also connect with millions of strangers via social media who will follow your every makeup-free move courtesy of the camera also stored in that same aforementioned device. And as Kourtney Kardashian discovered on Sunday, the cell phone serves another very important purpose: the perfect scapegoat for when you need to take a good old-fashioned belfie.
Kourtney Kardashian/Instagram
The reality star spent her weekend lounging poolside in a leopard print bikini from Acacia, when the great philosophical paradox of the Kardashian's existence suddenly struck her—if I don't Instagram this did any of it really even happen? And so, naturally, a selfie had to be taken, but with nary a professional photographer nor a friend to take one of Kourt's signature triplegrams in sight, what was a girl to do? Why, strike a dramatic, contorted lounge chair pose, snap a belfie, and blame it on the angle your selfie camera happened to land at, of course.
RELATED PHOTOS: In Their Own Words: Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick's Highs and Lows
RELATED VIDEO: VIDEO: Kourtney & Scott Reunite
The caption on this shot, "Selfie camera view," seems to imply the eldest Kardashian is shirking all responsibility for the taking and posting of this sexy poolside snap. It's sort of the #IWokeUpLikeThis of the technological world, but also a potentially genius new marketing ploy for Apple. Just think of the time we'd all save if your phone just went ahead and took and posted all of your most scandalous belfies on your behalf!

|Statistics (2011)
Naples Municipal Airport (IATA: APF[2], ICAO: KAPF, FAA LID: APF) is a public use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Naples, a city in Collier County, Florida, United States. It is owned by the City of Naples Airport Authority.[1] The airport provides space for general aviation, as well as mosquito control and, Med Flight Collier (EMS Helicopters).
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 3,316 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[3] 514 enplanements in 2009, and 581 in 2010.[4] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport (between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year) based on enplanements in 2008,[5] but it is a general aviation facility based on enplanements in 2009 and 2010.
The 2013 Federal sequester will result in the closure of the airport's contract control tower and will require pilots to rely on air traffic controllers from other area airports.[6][7]
Established in 1942 as Naples Army Airfield by the United States Army Air Forces. Assigned initially to the Southeast Training Center (later Eastern Flying Training Command). Provided basic (level 1) flight training to flight cadets by Embry-Riddle Co; Fairchild PT-19s were the primary trainer used. Along with the flight training, was a sub-base to Buckingham Army Airfield for flexible gunnery training, which the 75th Flying Training Wing supervised. Inactivated on November 1, 1945, being turned over to the War Assets Administration for conveyance to civil control as a public airport.
Provincetown-Boston Airlines began scheduled service to Miami International Airport in the 1950s, and managed the airport for several years until a municipal airport authority was created in 1969.[8]
Although the airport served more than 100,000 passengers per year through 2000, geographic factors limited its capacity, and the opening of the much larger Southwest Florida International Airport in nearby Fort Myers drew medium-haul traffic away from Naples. Passenger numbers dipped when American Eagle ceased scheduled Miami service in 2001, and dipped even further following the September 11, 2001 attacks[9] Scheduled airline service to Naples ended in 2003 when US Airways Express ceased service to Tampa International Airport.[10]
Facilities and aircraft[edit]
Naples Municipal Airport covers an area of 732 acres (296 ha) at an elevation of 8 feet (2 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 5/23 measuring 6,600 by 150 feet (2,012 x 46 m) and 14/32 measuring 5,000 by 100 ft (1,524 x 30 m). It also has one turf runway designated SW/NE which measures 1,850 by 100 ft (564 x 30 m).[1]
For the 12-month period ending September 30, 2011, the airport had 84,339 aircraft operations, an average of 231 per day: 91% general aviation, 9% air taxi, and <1% military. At that time there were 309 aircraft based at this airport: 63% single-engine, 21% multi-engine, 12% jet, and 4% helicopter.[1]

These are stories about wife lovers, and specifically concerned with married women. The wife in question may not actually be making love to her husband, and the stories could involve other lovers, either men or women. Akin to this category are slut wives, hot and horny wife stories, wife swapping, and cheating wives.

My name is Paul and my wife is called Janet. I am 54 and Janet is 53. We have been married for twenty-five years and in this time we have enjoyed a loving relationship. I'm not sure if everyone agrees, but during a long term relationship it's easy to slip into a comfortable and some would say, boring routine. This happened to Janet and me.

Ellen waits for her husband to come home.
I had just had sex with my neighbor and my husband had caught me. When I say caught me, I mean he was home and I wasn't. I had to lie to him and tell him I had cocoa at my neighbor's house. I didn't tell him it was my hunky neighbor across the street. My husband and I have been married for about twelve years. Lately, it seems our marriage has just stalled when it comes to sex.

I was falling further and further into his hands, but I couldn't help myself against Derek's charms
As soon as I got home I headed for the shower. I felt so guilty and dirty that I just had to wash away the ill feelings and the events of the past two hours. Bryan thankfully was in his office so didn't hear me come in or distract me on my way to the shower. I was scared that if I saw Bryan he would know that something was up with me. He might start questioning me and interrogating me, and...Read On

I had just made a $300,000 score and was feeling pretty good. My flight home stopped in the town I grew up in so I thought I would be nostalgic and spend a night there. It had been a dozen years since I left and not a whole lot had changed, all of the landmarks were there but it seemed shabbier and more run down than I remembered. I checked into the most expensive hotel in town and set out...Read On

"Come with me." "No. I don't want to listen at the door again." "We're not. Just come with me." Sherry pulled my sulking body off of the couch and dragged me towards the room. I began to resist but Sherry pulled harder, almost causing me to lose my balance. "I don't want to listen to my wife getting fucked by your husband, okay?" "Sure you do, but we're not doing that."

Billie and Ted's excellent adventure continues
We talked about our experience at the gloryhole most of the night, whenever we weren't making love, and again over breakfast. I couldn't get over how much I had enjoyed playing with another man's cock and sucking him until he came in my mouth and all over my breasts. I'd been very hesitant when Ted suggested it, but had found it incredibly exciting. I also couldn't believe how much Ted...Read On

Dave and Alli enjoy their friends.
I had no idea what might come next, still shaken by the intensity of my own orgasm and Marci's, not to mention the soul-searing intensity of seeing and hearing my wife rocked by a massive orgasm while engaged with and impaled upon another man's huge cock. That he had entered her and come, mostly deep inside of her, had clearly been her choice, not his… not that he'd tried very hard to avoid...Read On

Final night of the reunion Prom
After such an exciting time at the reunion ball game Joan and I took a nap at the hotel. I woke up to the smell of sex. Joan was sitting astride my face slowly grinding her cunt on my mouth. I could taste all the strange cum that was flowing from her vagina. I sucked and slurped Joan's cunt. I stuck my tongue in her ass. She started humping my whole face. I was fully engulfed in her juices....Read On

The hotel adventure with friends draws to a friendly close.
Her thighs clamped tightly on my head as she came, her fingers tangling in my hair and holding my face to her wet pussy as I eagerly continued to lick her clit, driving her through her orgasm.

As her climax peaked and began to slowly wane her legs began to relax...Read On

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) still cannot clarify if he believes the law should protect workers from being fired just because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Indiana has been a flashpoint for LGBT nondiscrimination protections after lawmakers passed a "religious liberty" bill last year that seemed to enable discrimination against LGBT people — by design. Attempts to correct course this year have already floundered, but Democrats are trying to keep the conversation going.
Pence was similarly put on point on the matter during a town hall on Thursday. An audience member asked him, "In a simple yes or no answer, do you believe that gay and transgender people should be able to be fired from their jobs just for that reason?" There was a long pause, and then, skirting a "yes" or "no," he began by saying, "It's a great privilege for me to be your governor."
He went as far as saying, "I don't think anyone should ever be discriminated against because of who they are or who they love," but he stopped short of specifying whether he think the law should be involved. Instead, he reiterated the same talking points from his State of the State address last month: "My strong conviction is that, should the General Assembly put legislation on my desk, which they considered this year, and should I continue to be governor and they ever do in the future, it just must be consistent with the constitution. But I will not support legislation that diminishes religious freedom."
Freedom Indiana, the state's LGBT advocacy group, published a video of the exchange on YouTube. In the video's description, the group notes, "Pence has never been able to answer the question of whether he believes LGBT Hoosiers should be fired for who they are. Time after time, he has dodged the question of why he does not support comprehensive non-discrimination protections for LGBT people."
The group's accusation that Pence dodges the question has proven accurate in the wake of the video's circulation. ThinkProgress reached out to the Indiana governor's office Friday morning — seeking clarification to the "yes or no" question, and also inquiring whether Pence believes protections for LGBT workers do, in fact, impose on religious liberties — but received no reply. FOX 28 similarly sought additional inquiry but heard nothing in response.
Pence may simply be maintaining his opposition to LGBT protections while trying to not sound like it. In Congress, he voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) in 2007, which would have created federal employment protections based on sexual orientation. He defended his vote at the time, explaining, "We must stand for the right of every American to practice their faith according to the dictates of their conscience, whether it be in the public square or in the workplace."
Given his talking points haven't changed, it's likely his position hasn't either.

Stayed 3 nights in September with my daughter. Mario and Elizabetta could not have been better hosts. Felt like we were staying with friends. Other guests were great and we made some lasting connections. We had a special request over some boots my daughter wanted and Elizabeth went above and belying and ended up buying some herself.
I recommend with no hesitation. Breakfast was great and they even kent us a gps to use.
