When newshounds meet ethical maybes
Like, "Pro or Con: Butchering Babies?"
There's no black or white,
Just a dry, dusty bite
And red rage for the folks without rabies.
He'll lie to your face with a wink
And chase his own tail for the stink;
He'll swim like an otter
In shit like it's water...
But it won't force a newshound to think.
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Mexico's billion dollar drugs lord known as 'El Chapo' has gloated on Twitter about his escape from a maximum security jail by taunting authorities and threatening US-presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
Joaquin Guzman, billionaire head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, made his jail break on Saturday morning and is on the run from Altiplano jail, 50 miles outside of Mexico City, security officials said.
His audacious escape saw him dash through the mile-long tunnel system, which led to a building under construction next to the prison - from where he collected clothes left for him by his conspirators.
But following his escape he has took to Twitter and used it to hit back at Trump, who has said that the Guzman embodies 'everything that is wrong with Mexico' and added he would 'kick his ass'.
On the account, administered by Guzman's son Ivan, the escapee reportedly wrote: 'If you keep p****** me off I'm going to make you eat your words you f****** blonde milk-s*****'.
In Mexico, a milk-s****** is a homophobic slur.
The property magnate is taking the threat seriously.
According to TMZ the billionaire has called in the FBI to investigate the source of the Twitter account which warned Trump he would be sorry he spoke out against Mexico.
He also took aim at the Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto saying: ''And you @EPN, don't call me a delinquent because I give people work unlike you you cowardly politician.'
The drugs lord's account became particularly active yesterday, when many believe it was Guzman himself sending messages of victory and threatening his enemies with gruesome death.
He also posted: 'Never say never, this world keeps turning. In this life, he who risks nothing cannot win'.
He followed up with 'There's no jail for such a big midget' as El Chapo means midget in Spanish as Guzman measures only five foot six inches tall.

[BREITBART] While outfits like the Immigration Policy Center say Americans ought to stop believing their lying eyes and understand that the more undocumented Democrats stream across the border, the more crime rates fall, the reality is much darker.
On Thursday, Michigan police incarcerated Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! a Mexican illegal alien, 23-year-old Aurelio Hernandez-Gomez, after finding him with a 13-year-old Florida girl who had last been seen two days before her ordeal.
Cops acted on a tip that led them to a Hartford home where Hernandez-Gomez hid the girl while assaulting her.
Michigan authorities charged Hernandez-Gomez with one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, meaning they believe he raped or otherwise penetrated the girl after incapacitating her or otherwise rendering her helpless. They have not released further details, such as whether or not the victim was related to the alien suspect. Hernandez-Gomez is being held on $150,000 bond in a Paw Paw Michigan jail and will be back in court on Wednesday.
Florida authorities plan to charge him with interference with child custody and felony kidnapping, according to WZZM 13, after Michigan ships him back to Polk County, Florida at an unspecified date. U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement has been notified, but it's unclear how they will proceed.
Hernandez-Gomez hails from Chiapas, Mexico, where the sexual age of consent is 12.
Regardless, kidnapping and rape are also illegal in Chiapas. Enjoy prison, pendejo.

If Americans committed the same level of murder, rape, and assault in Mexico and Central America that their brethren do in America, the borders would have been closed to the Yankee years ago. You certainly wouldn't be seeing HGTV house hunters international filming in such countries because no one would be permitted to sale land to such a plague.

Open border means no background checks. IOW, we don't know who is coming across the border. Most of them are probably honest, fun loving, hard working, family oriented people looking for work and a chance to improve their lives. I've met quite a few like that. But you're also gonna get rapists, murderers and narco terrorists. So, yeah. Trump was right.
[FINANCIALEXPRESS] French police are hunting for the three gunnies who barged into a Primark store near Gay Paree in a suspected robbery attempt.
According to the BBC, the gunnies escaped the scene after special forces evacuated 18 people trapped inside the Qwartz shopping centre in Villeneuve-la-Garenne.
The area around the shopping centre has been shut down.
The shopping center and surrounding area are closed to the public because of the security operation, said police.
The siege comes a day before the Bastille Day celebrations in the country.
French police on Monday were hunting armed robbers who escaped after holding up a store in a shopping mall near Paris, prompting special forces to intervene and seal off the area.
The three men -- one of whom was thought to be an employee of the shop -- burst into the Primark store in Villeneuve-la-Garenne early Monday, said a police source who wished to remain anonymous.
But while security forces initially thought the gunmen were still inside the mall, they realized after searching the premises that the men had escaped.
The suspects "appear to have run away, and the search continues outside the mall," a source close to the probe said.
Prosecutors added they did not appear to have fled with any money.
- 'This is a hold-up' -
Memories of attacks in January by Islamic extremists who gunned down 17 people in and near Paris -- including several who were held hostage in a Jewish supermarket -- are still fresh in many minds in France. France, and the Paris area in particular, remains on high alert with some 7,000 soldiers deployed around the country to help police in countering any further attack.
But so far police have indicated Monday's attack was a common armed robbery.
"I saw two robbers, dressed in black, hooded. They were calm, not in a hurry," said Bruno Jahin, a 20-year-old witness. "The tallest... had a gun, I think it was a pump-action shotgun. The other man was smaller.
"I heard 'this is a hold-up, you must go' several times... I turned around and took the lift," he said. "They were definitely looking for money, it's a store that is doing very well."
A London-based spokesman for Primark, a low-cost clothing store that has been a huge success in Britain, confirmed there had been an "incident" at its store, which is located just north of Paris.

[Feral Jundi] This is some big news. Both GardaWorld and Aegis are some big companies, and this is more sign of consolidation in the industry as the market compresses. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have drawn down significantly since the hey day of contracting, and moves like this signal the latest strategies of the major companies--if they want to survive.
I first found out about Aegis shopping around for buyers from Intelligence Online. It has a paywall, but what little they said in the brief description is all I needed to know. As for GardaWorld, here is a snap shot from Wikipedia as to their size and status. "Market compression" could be the reason for the merger. The need to disconnect from the name 'Aegis' may be another. OBTW, our old 'Foggy Bottom' Benghazi friends at UK's Blue Mountain Security have upgraded their website.
[ABCNEWS.GO] Pentagon leaders are finalizing plans aimed at lifting the ban on transgender individuals in the military, with the goal of formally ending one of the last gender- or sexuality-based barriers to military service, senior U.S. officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. Once they get that out of the way maybe they'll have time for that Islamic State thing.
An announcement is expected this week, and the services would have six months to assess the impact of the change and work out the details, the officials said Monday. Military chiefs wanted time to methodically work through the legal, medical and administrative issues and develop training to ease any transition, and big shots believed six months would be sufficient.
The officials said Defense Secretary Ash Carter has asked his personnel undersecretary, Brad Carson, to set up a working group of senior military and civilian leaders to take an objective look at the issue. One bigwig said that while the goal is to lift the ban, Carter wants the working group to look at the practical effects, including the costs, and determine whether it would affect readiness or create any insurmountable problems that could derail the plan. The group would also develop uniform guidelines.

Im sorry, but this is simply mental illness defined by the medical establishment into "normal". Its not. Your body says XX or XY. You are therefore Female or Male. If you are one thing and think you are another then that is a mental aberration, not a normal situation. Extreme therapy may be required, as some want to mutilate their body hormonally and surgicallyt, but whatever the outcome, you cannot treat the final condition as "normal" - because it cannot be sustained without continuous treatment. Same as Cancer or HIV or Organ Transplants - if the treatments are required, you still have the disorder, and the need for continuous treatments means you are not eligible for service.
This is imply using the military as a lab for social experiments. What happens to Jim who used to be Jenny, when they get stuck at the far end of a supply chain and dont get their testosterone? Same as a male who isnt making his own testosterone and requires hormone treatments - lose muscle mass, lose strenght, lose ability to perform the military duties. Therefore INELIGIBLE TO SERVE.
Sorry folks there are limits, this is not Kindergarten. Doesn't anyone at the Pentagon have the guts to speak up?

[CNNPHILIPPINES] The book is not even out, and readers are already rebelling.
Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman hits stores Tuesday (July 14), 55 years after To Kill a Mockingbird. The book is hotly anticipated but not without controversy.
It purportedly recasts Atticus Finch, the moral center of Harper's first book, as racist.
Hearts broke across Twitter.
Lee completed Go Set a Watchman in the 1950s. The manuscript was rediscovered last year.
It picks up the story of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young girl who narrates her adventures in a small Alabama town in Mockingbird.
Mockingbird was published in 1960, won the Pulitzer Prize and sold more than 40 million copies. But now, some fans are saying they might not even read Lee's new book because of the racist revelation. They say ignorance can be bliss. The snowflakes won't read it?
"Readers will do as they wish," filmmaker Mary Murphy, who recently spent time with the reclusive Lee, told CNN. That's a polite way of saying the snowflakes can go have sex with themselves.
She offered a potentially more nuanced view of Watchman.
"Let's remember that Alabama was a state that would have rather closed its public schools than integrate them. This is the climate in which this book appears," Murphy said. "And a truly liberated white Southern man wasn't something you'd find in these small towns, or across the state. So, Atticus, in the book, reflects -- sort of -- the time, and reflects the culture of the time."
Some fans agree. Heroes are complicated, they say, and life is not about easy -- or necessarily agreeable -- answers. It sounds like the author maybe drew her hero as a human being instead of a statue of probity cast in cheese.

Well if he was a racist, then his defense of the black man in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is even more powerful as a story of a man putting ethics and the law above his personal feelings or bias.
Great stuff!!!
I loved Atticus Finch and he was a real man.
The snowflakes can't get it through their heads the concept of a man putting the truth and what is right ahead of personal conviction...doesn't happen in their neighborhood.

At least pay her for this book seeing as she never got paid for that one.
Mind crime plagues liberals and they force it on Everyone. All that fake guilt.
Liberals are the fascists that made all this happen from the start, remember.
And Faulkners' "The Sound and the fury" should be recommended reading if only to break their timid little soul less hearts about their own party.
Many people are bigots. I know I AM.
I find Islam oppressive,
but do not wake up the liberal fascists until they are being beaten down by moslems yet. That is the future plan of the devil.
No worries, if ya slipped that far, maybe it really is the end.
Nothing left to protect. No civilization, not GOD, no Virtue, not morals, no Commandments.
Just a bunch of "democrat" communist fascists and islamic fucktards beating it out for another thousand years.

Maybe definition of racism changed in the last 50 years. These things always go up and down. I remember, in 1990es I was a racist (and a fascist)---Israeli style, for saying out loud that peace with Arabs is impossible.

These snowflakes can't comprehend that Lydon Johnson was a racist in their southern stereotype model, but also the man who could get Congress, with a lot of Trunk support, to pass the '64 Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation. The Left can not fathom the ability to put raw human animal emotion and lust for power behind cold reason and principles.
Health officials say the virus probably remained latent in the country during that period and could have been reactivated by a survivor, via sexual transmission.
We're learning an awful lot about what had been an orphan disease not long ago.

Some of these extra-judicial campus courts seem to me a bit like Sharia courts. Criminal behavior should be the province of the criminal courts not the PC kangaroo courts.

Given that a couple of New York federal judges went the other way in similar cases, we're going to see enough conflicting case law that eventually the USSC will have to take a look. I fear the outcome.
For me it's easy: Congress and the Executive branch can't use "administrative hearings" and procedures to circumvent constitutional guarantees regarding counsel, right to confront witnesses, and examine evidence in an adversarial hearing in which there is an accuser and a defendant. Particularly true if there are penalties attached to the defendant, and even more true if the hearing is guided by a letter issued by a Federal bureaucracy with a desired outcome.

[Tolo News] A group of civil society activists in northern Balkh province on Monday demanded severe punishment for those alleged to have sexually abused and killed a three-year-old boy named Yunus in Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... last week.
The activists issued a resolution that urged the country's law enforcement and courts to take action and severely punish the perpetrators of the heinous act, who have yet to be identified.
"Balkh civil society activists have raised their voice to ask Afghanistan's judicial system to act seriously regarding the sexual abuse of the underage boy," civil society activist Malika told TOLOnews.
The head of the northern branch of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), Sayid Mohammad Sami, called the rape of Yunus an inhuman act. "Unfortunately, such occurrences are the result of the fact that rule of law is fading away in our society," Sami said.
"Such a situation means that any brutal human and those who are against the law in every hook and nook of the country commit illegal acts and then there is no one to arrest them and send them behind bars," he added.
The extent of concern about whether or not justice will be served in Yunus' case was made readily apparent by the Balkh activists on Monday. One, named Malalai Usmani, went so far as to suggest the local community take their own action and not risk leaving it in the hands of law enforcement and the judiciary.
"We were against kangaroo courts in the past, but now I want to say that the local residents should arrest the perpetrators who raped the child and punish them before they reach the police and courts," Usmani told TOLOnews.

[ARABNEWS] A Moroccan court acquitted two women who faced charges of "gross indecency" for wearing dresses in public, their lawyer said Monday, after their case sparked a national outcry.
"This is a victory not only for these two women but for all members of civil society who mobilized," said defense attorney Houcine Bekkar Sbai.
Fouzia Assouli, head of the LDDF women's rights organization, confirmed the acquittals handed down by a court in the southern city of Agadir.
"This acquittal is positive and shows that wearing this type of clothing (a dress) is not a crime," Assouli told AFP.
The women, hairdressers aged 23 and 29, were jugged Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on June 16 as they strolled through the open-air market in Inezgane, a suburb of Agadir, on their way to work,
Merchants accused them of wearing flimsy and "immoral" clothes, surrounded and heckled them, media reported at the time.
Police intervened to wrest them away from the angry crowd but then drove them to a cop shoppe where they were charged with gross indecency.
Article 483 of Morocco's penal code states that anyone found guilty of committing an act of "public obscenity" such as "gross indecency" can be tossed in the slammer Book 'im, Mahmoud! for between a month and two years.
Their case sparked an outcry in Morocco, where supporters of the two women held rallies denouncing their arrest and demanding their release, requests echoed in a petition that circulated online.
Hundreds of lawyers also offered to defend them while rights organizations kept a close tab on the proceedings.
Assouli said that Monday's verdict should prompt politicians to revise Article 483 of the penal code and adopt a law criminalizing violence against women.
Earlier this month, police arrested of two men "accused of aggressing the women." They have been referred to trial and could face prison terms from one month to two years if found guilty.

[Dhaka Tribune] Three alleged robbers were beaten to death by a mob at Baherchar in Hizla, Barisal in the early hours of yesterday.
The dear departed were identified as Miraz Molla, Harun Bepari of Khulna and Hanif Sardar of Hizla upazila.
Golam Sarwar, officer-in-charge of Hizla cop shoppe, said local people caught three robbers around 3am while they were allegedly taking preparation to commit robbery at the village.
Sensing their presence, My spider sense! It's tingling again! To arms! Aux barricades! villagers caught them and then gave them a good beating, leaving the three dead on the spot. Police recovered five sharp weapons and the bodies from the spot in the morning.
The lynched victims were members of dacoit gang 'Yusuf Sardar Bahini', said Khalilur Rahman, chairman Barojalia union parishad, adding that Yusuf Sardar was also lynched by a mob on May 17.

[BLOOMBERG] Burundian soldiers killed 31 suspected rebels and detained another 170 in a forested area in the country's north, said military front man Gaspard Baratuza.
One civilian was killed and six soldiers were maimed in the festivities, Baratuza said on Monday by phone. The army was acting on information that a band of armed rebels was roaming the remote region, which borders Rwanda, said Baratuza. The group is being investigated, he said, without elaborating.
Burundi, a landlocked coffee-producing nation, has been facing unrest since an announcement in April that President Pierre Nkurunziza will be running for a third term, sparking an outcry by opponents who say he'll violate a two-term limit. The decision triggered a failed coup attempt and protests that have left 77 dead, forced another 100,000 to take refuge in neighboring countries and prompted several delays to the presidential vote. It's currently scheduled for July 21.
The violence has raised fears of a return to conflict if rebel groups abandon a 2005 peace accord that ended a 12-year civil war, during which 300,000 people were killed. It also has the potential to destabilize the Great Lakes region, which includes Rwanda where a genocide took place in 1994.
The United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... has warned that the East African nation risks sliding back into violence and said voting last month for politicians was not"free, credible and inclusive."

[Telegraph] Male staff members at Inverness pub now wear trousers instead of kilts after one too many attempts by women to see if they are 'true Scotsmen.'
Kilt-wearing barmen have ditched the tartan because they are fed up of being sexually harassed by rowdy women. They now wear trousers at the Hootananny pub in Inverness, after one too many attempts to see what they wore underneath.
Iain Howie, the pub's assistant manager, said the incidents mostly happened at weekends when the bar was particularly busy.
[CNNPHILIPPINES] He's a working dad whose career is flying: Prince William is taking to the air as a newly qualified air ambulance pilot, while trying to keep his feet on the ground. One of the good guys.
Second in line to the British throne, William started work Monday (July 13) as a pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service.
He'll be flying rescue missions for four counties around Cambridge, where he'll be based. Cambridge is about 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of London.
"For me it's really important to be grounded. I feel doing a job like this really helps with grounding ... at the core of what I am trying to become," he said in an interview Monday.
And what he wants to become is -- in his words -- "a good guy," "a decent individual."
He said he wants to balance his career with his royal duties, which, at some point, will inevitably take over.
He'll be working part-time, his office said Monday, ideally in blocks of several weeks, with his royal duties sandwiched into a week at a time.
The Prince also has a young family to worry about, the newest member of which is Princess Charlotte, who was christened July 5.
"She's been a little joy of heaven but at the same time, it is more responsibility looking after two little ones, especially when (her older brother) George is around," William said. "He's a little monkey. But it's fantastic having a little family. I'm so thrilled. Catherine has been doing an amazing job as a mother and I'm very proud of her."

[ALMANAR.LB] Gunmen attacked a police convoy in northern Mexico's violence-plagued city of Matamoros on Saturday, sparking a clash that left five suspects and one officer dead.
The clash erupted after four carloads of armed civilians opened fire on Tamaulipas state and federal police in the city that borders Texas, authorities said.
Four of the suspects were killed inside a car, which struck a restaurant's metal gate, the Tamaulipas state government said in a statement.
A state police officer was maimed and later died in a hospital.
The other assailants were able to escape following a car chase, except for one who was bumped off.
Following the shootout, police chased a different group of criminals and two bystanders were maimed by bullets fired by the suspects, the government said. The injured civilians were out of danger.

[Daily Mail] North Korean military chiefs have confirmed that they brutally executed the country's defence chief using an massive anti-aircraft gun at close range, a South Korean official revealed today.
Seoul's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers that People's Armed Forces Minister Hyon Yong Chol was killed by anti-aircraft gunfire in May on charges of disloyalty to leader Kim Jong Un.
It is understood that the 66-year-old defence chief had talked back to Kim during a gathering of top ranking officials, openly complained about the dictator's policies and fell asleep during meetings.
[Bus Insider] The number of reported anti-Semitic incidents in France the first quarter of 2015 has increased exponentially compared to the corresponding period the year before, a French watchdog group found.
The country has seen an 84 percent uptick in anti-Semitic hate crimes since four Jewish shoppers at a kosher supermarket in Paris were killed by an Islamist gunman after the Charlie Hebdo murders, theJewish Telegraphic Agency reported.
The watchdog, Service de Protection de la Communauté Juive (SPCJ), counted 508 anti-Semitic incidents between January and May this year, compared to just 276 incidents the year earlier.
Almost a quarter of those attacks were classified by the organization as violent. Most of the other incidents were reportedly death threats, JTA said.
Jewish leaders in France have grown increasingly concerned by the rise of anti-Semitism in their country in recent years.

According to New York Times Tehran correspondent Thomas Erdbrink, Iranian state TV has announced that the text of the deal has been completed and only needs to be proofread before the agreement can be finalized.

The effort has outraged unions and higher education groups, leaving them fearful that other lawmakers will follow suit to unravel labor protections in higher education that have long been considered sacred ground.

Well, when as a faculty and administration you actively suppress free speech and free association and institute a Stalinist PC agenda, what real defense do you have in protecting the now dead concept of 'academic freedom'? /rhet question
#3
Tenure will not protect a faculty member attacked by the PC police and thus is worthless. Tenure was a game to protect lefties before they had control, and now to protect lazies who just want to coast.
Either use tenure properly to protect uncomfortable idead or just admit universities are controlled by the brainwashed mob.

Gov. Walker is quite impressive. He mentioned in his announcement speech last evening that his grandfather had worked at Barber-Coleman in Rockford, IL. He is undoubtedly aware of what has taken place with our industrial base in the last 50 years. This knowledge and the desire to do something about it, earns my vote.

Tenure doesn't mean much anymore--it is a dying institution. In the past, it was a protection for free speech and academic freedom. Today, even with tenure you can be fired for "cause." Cause is anything deemed a reason for firing by an administrator--often some violation of political correctness. Today, tenure is usually granted on the basis of how much research money you can bring to an institution. In the faculty evaluation scheme, federal dollars count more that dollars from industry or other sources. The academic tenure system today is similar to the system used for the evaluation of big time college football coaches; your contract is extended depending upon your win-loss record. Personally, I don't have a problem with Walker going after tenure; however, the current tenure system IMHO doesn't stand for much.
[REUTERS] An eight-mile convoy of pickups, cycle of violences and cars wound through a central Florida town on Sunday in a show of support for the Confederate flag, as a backlash against its banishment from public landmarks across the South picks up steam.
Horns blared and hundreds of the rebel flags fluttered as more than 1,500 vehicles and some 4,500 people turned out for the "Florida Southern Pride Ride" in Ocala, according to police estimates. Vehicles from states across the South and as far away as Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, participated.
"That flag has a lot of different meanings to a lot of different people," said David Stone, 38, who organized the event. "It doesn't symbolize hate unless you think it's hate - and that's your problem, not mine."
Organizers announced the event as the South embarked on an emotional debate over the flag's symbolism in the aftermath of the massacre of nine blacks by a white gunman in a Charleston church last month. The suspect in the church shootings had posed with the flag in photos posted on a website.
In South Carolina, politicians moved quickly to take the flag down from the statehouse grounds in Columbia, a longstanding demand of those who see it as a divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... symbol of the South's pro-slavery legacy.
Alabama and scores of municipalities have take similar steps since the June 17 massacre.
But the national push to pull the controversial icon from stores and public displays is being met with determined resistance in some corners of the United States.
Supporters such as those who drove through Ocala on Sunday insist the flag is a honorable symbol of regional pride, a mark of respect for Southern soldiers who died in the American Civil War.
In Ocala, the seat of Marion County, an administrator had ordered the Confederate flag's removal from a government complex. But last week county leaders overruled the order and the banner is again flying atop the building.
"It's just about heritage. I'm upset they want to remove a piece of history," said Jessica McRee, 29, an Ocala native and employee of a law enforcement agency who participated in Sunday's ride.

It is very interesting to see how the Media twists the story.
So instead of a rogue male loner on a second generation antidepressant with a history of violence, it is a rogue male racist with a confederate battle flag.
The first few articles about Roof indicated he was talking one of the "new" antidepressants (which have a history of precipitating violence outbursts, temper tantrums, suicides, etc.,). Suddenly when the confederate flag picture of Roof appeared the entire narrative changed to racism and the nasty old hate provoking flag.
I personally think the Media is not only running the DOJ/WH agenda on race but is also running cover for the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA which is pumping people full of the stuff.
Just about everyone of the recent mass shooters was taking one or more of these nasty little pills...
Instead of questioning the drugs, the media buries the story to promote gun control and racism.

And you are right.
Most were on an off psychotropic drugs - predominately opiate variety.
Many for various "psychological" issues and more.
There is no, absolutely NO Truth with the media now. It is just another whoreburger for the cockroachO'Crats.
There is nothing of Virtue or substance going on either in the media, or the government right now that will stem the tidal wave of the Ignorance Apocalypse.
