Why I Did Not Discuss My Participation in the SOPA/PIPA Blackout

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Many of you who came to the X-Cop Fly Company blog (or to Rogue Central @ coredumpcentral.org) yesterday were redirected to the SOPA Strike page. (The blackout on the X-Cop Fly Company blog started a few hours late for EST people such as myself, since the plugin I used here had a bug, and I [...]

9/11/01

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

this post is to honor those who died in the 9/11 attacks also to honor the ones who survived to anyone with a strong connection to “the city” to the victims of the subsequent wars, whether the war be the result of a conspiracy or foreknowledge or just plain exploitation to people around the world [...]

Thoughts on funding of “cures” for psychiatric illnesses

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

(Slightly abridged from something I posted to Usenet earlier tonight) We need to cut any and all government funding of public, private, nonprofit, and academic efforts researching “curing” mental illness, autism, retardation, etc. because there is a major conflict of interest issue. Unlike medication, which treats symptoms such as depression, anxiety, paranoia, attentiveness, etc., a [...]

The Ground Zero Mosque

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

In one of my previous posts regarding the Ground Zero mosque, I mentioned Catholic blogger Mark Shea and his support and comparison to restricting protests against Planned Parenthood. Tonight, I left the following comment on his blog (entitled Catholic & Enjoying It, which I also just added to my blogroll): What’s the difference between the [...]

Another Reason the Media Establishment Mocks & Opposes the Meaningful

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I’ve always maintained that there is an agenda behind the media establishment’s mocking and opposing faith, religion, family, and culture – that being the lacking created by promiscuous sex, abuse of drugs and alcohol, and other superficial phenomenon creates psychological voids in one’s life, which can be temporarily “fixed” by buying the products in the [...]

People are starting to wake up.

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

For at least 2-3 years, including on this blog, I have been pointing out the hypocrisy resulting from the commercialization of open-source software, including the FSF selling out to special interests, TPM in the Linux kernel, the NSA winning a “no-bid contract” of sort into the Linux kernel’s remote attestation features, remote attestation in Linux [...]

But when it involves bad medical advice…

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

…then it is spam. I was really unhappy to see, this afternoon, that someone had linked to my previous blog entry and written a commentary themselves, which I could only read a half a paragraph, since the user shut their blog down on the same day. No Internet Archive either. I guess it’s forever lost [...]

“Blogs vs. Twitter & Facebook” Arguments, As Applied to the Bill of Rights

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

There have been a lot of posts (and political lobbying) within the past few years by a dying Media 1.0 establishment and a gullible public to discourage the creation and reading of blogs, this time by encouraging Twitter and Facebook as replacements for blogs. Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

Deleted my Facebook account…

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

All of it. Photos, likes, “friends”, groups, info, even my name. Then I deleted (not deactivated) the account. In other words, everything I could get rid of, I did. Now it’s gone. I feel a sort of emptiness inside, though I’m sure it’ll pass as it didn’t make a damn difference. It’s like a new [...]
