@gloryoski :
@GregMitch And so are the 30 heroes results on hold? (Not to sound shallow…)
@Greg Mitchell
@gloryoski coming this afternoon….
I don’t want to think too much about what that elipsis means…….
11:32 am
Good Morning gloryoski!
11:42 am
Mornin’ Sandy.
Had to shut down and restart. Now let’s try the stream again.
11:39 am
Morning all…
Wikileaks!!! YAAHHH!!! The proverbial shit is really gonna hit the fan now. State Department cables? I get goosebumps.
Already some really good “soap” hitting the print media.

“SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!”
11:47 am
What a “gay” commercial
11:51 am
No comment. But I was gonna say the voice reminds me of the “what’s the prob, Bob” guy in “12 Monkeys.”
(Prolly just watched too many times tho’…)
11:50 am
Morning all.
11:52 am
Morning backward and forward. (Both ways…)
11:54 am
g’morning…
11:52 am
Some of US will be eating cat food in two years, and won’t have a laptop with the rest of our shopping cart survival gear…
hmmm, maybe that’s part of the plan: rendition isn’t the only way to “disappear” people…
Haiti is one of THEIR lab experiments going on now. Response to Katrina was an experiment too. (ways to control population without being directly culpable)
11:55 am
“rendition isn’t the only way to “disappear” people…”
No doubt. Not like it hasn’t already been going on. They are just picking up the pace.
12:04 pm
top of the morning!
dissappearing people, as in: the Steve Jobs-Rupert Murdoch joint venture-Verizon-Google plutonomy??
12:12 pm
That is veryverybad as well, but I was actually thinking about emptying out the mental hospitals onto the streets and then starting with the regular hospitals….then the apartments, then the houses. (With appreciable overlap.)
12:14 pm
As in any way they can make themselves more room on the planet.
Is there an irony? Well yes. Thank you for asking…
The middle class wannabes and tea party sheep who help them make this happen will replace the “disappeared” bottom end of society in placating the filty rich. People like Martha Stewart and Glen Beck wongh either by then to be anything else but “real” lapdogs.
I’ll be sniggering from my cardboard box…
12:17 pm
“wongh” was supposed to be “won’t have enough” (weather alert focused and I was busy watching my fingers on the keyboard) er
11:55 am
Great audio on the phone call, Evan. (Jane sounds great, and the audio level seems even/balanced between Sam & Jane.)
11:59 am
Yes audio sounds GREAT!!
9:54 am
Thank y’all! Half of that is the compressor that we’ve finally got dialed in, but half of that is Jane’s *sweet* skype/broadcast setup.
11:57 am
Morning all! Could use more level at least 6 db more like 12 db would be better!
12:01 pm
Hahaha. Good catch Jane.
They are shocked…shocked!!
12:07 pm
I am SO GLAD that you all are having this discussion on the program!!!
12:09 pm
You guys, always wantin’ to “capture womenses’ Skype.”
12:07 pm
Wanna participate in The Majority Report?
===> check this out <===
12:09 pm
Just Coffee doesn’t take PAYPAL or online checks! We need credit-card free suppliers!
12:22 pm
Attorney General just gave himself the power to shut down any sites deemed to be potentially violating intellectual property rights. You know some more of those rights that WE used to have, but now only THEY have…
12:24 pm
Sam please don’t enlist Libertarian help. They are only different from the neos in that they claim domestic sovereignty for business and banking. They till have all the crap ideas about how business and banking should be run (free-market-trickle-down)
12:32 pm
Um…Sam knows that. And it’s not like HE’S gonna do that anyhow. He’s talking to Jane about why and how she would be wanting to do it.
I thought it was a good discussion. Better than people getting pre-judged and falsely accused of being astroturf.
I am fine with working w/ 1. GRASSROOTS 2. LIBERTARIANS.
Grover (not grassroots or libertarian obviamente) thing still bugs me….But that is such a bete-noire that the centrists use to beat her with (for their own purposes) that I try not to dwell.
12:34 pm
Also, some really ARE different in terms of respect for individual liberties.
12:38 pm
I missed Jane. My cable broadband tanked on me. Just that long. Almost suspicious…
But yeah, I know what you’re sayin’.
12:45 pm
Grover is a neo-con and Rahm is a neo-lib.
Both are corporate douches.
Their disagreements will all be ideologically and ego driven. Their end games are the same
12:45 pm
It will just be a “musical chairs” battle for leadership, once their utopia is complete.
12:46 pm
Like Pelosi and Boehner…
12:50 pm
First to admit I do not know all that these “wikileaks” leaks entail but from what Ive heard so far Ive said and done worse shit to my ex and we’re still friends. If some of these so called diplomatic horrors make these other countries offended it makes me want to say “wah” (implied baby crying here).
12:56 pm
Some of it is about what they have done to US, e.g,
Wikileaks Gates: No Iranian Help to Taliban
Juan Cole

Aha! one less reason to start friggin world war III by bombing Iran, good to know Merci Beaucoup! Gloryo
12:52 pm
Congress increased their own personal wealth by 16% in the last 24 months.
Will they agree to Obama’s proposed wage freeze (yes) and perhaps rise above their personal greed and promise no raises for themselves either (naaa)?
12:58 pm
YES, 65-77 is “X” gen. My little sister is an x-gen. I’m a boomer and we are diametrically opposed politically.

Sam made it!!!!! Yes!!!!
He’s number 29!
(Of course it’s all just a bunch of stupid bs anyhow
)
Media Fix

“This hard thing is my property…” I am thinking that does exist in nature.
(Sorry.)

i’m willing to work with libertarians as long as their willing to understand that when we send them to re-education camps, it’s because we want to work with them, not that we want to punish them.
seriously, tho. love the show. majority report was a highlight when i lived in the states. and now i listen to it every morning in Seoul in between classes at my school. very happy mornings. thanks, sam!
5:41 am
Your blog looks nifty. I must investigate further…
10:46 pm
all the people commenting on the Samuel Steward interview think it’s real and want to organize an uprising against the TSA.
4:40 am
OMFG, really?! The stupid, it hurts…but is also soooo distracting.
4:46 am
“Himmler and Goering must be masturbating in their graves.” This WAS a highlight of the commentary but generally ppl got it…
You were just exaggerating to increase YouTube views, weren’t you?
Good going.
