I'm Driving A Point Home While Everyone's Still Partying

You wanna read something truly horrible? Check it out:

Judge Noam Sohlberg ruled that parts of the indictment should be released in order to inform the public of the horrific nature of the crime and help expose similar cases. “At least part of the horrific descriptions in the charge sheet should be brought to public notice, to parents and children, because it seems that this is not an isolated event,” Sohlberg wrote. 

“There are other people whose relatives were caught in similar sects, and who had given up hope of rescuing their near ones from the sect; or who had perhaps not done everything possible in this regard because they did not know how horrific [the sects] are.” 

Releasing some of the details in the case could serve as a “vital service to those families and to other people trapped in cults like this one, encouraging them not to give up, but to exhaust every possible effort to escape from the sect,” he added. 

The leader of the cult was indicted on 15 counts, including slavery, physical, sexual and emotional abuse of minors — including some of his own biological children — unlawful imprisonment, indecent sexual acts, sodomy, rape, serious violent crimes and indecent assault, according to the indictment. 

The accomplice, also charged with committing numerous violent sex crimes under the leader’s orders, was the one who most often committed the abuses and was known by the nicknames of “Satan” and “Evil Inclination” by the victims. The third man was only accused in one incident of physical and sexual abuse and was not convicted on Tuesday. 

Police used the information in personal journals kept by the women and children to uncover details about the abuses and build their case. 

The women and children were subject to daily “confessions” and “judgments” and were punished by means of imprisonment, starvation, physical and mental abuse, humiliation, sexual abuse, and severe violence, according to the indictment. Police found numerous torture devices when they searched the house. 

The police uncovered the cult in August 2011,...

Pretty bad, huh? Yeah, but that's still not the horrible part. It's buried within the words of a single follower:

Yesterday I wrote, "Privacy and the NSA wouldn't be a problem if the Right Wing had some common sense". This, after avoiding the issue since it began. Today, John Fund has a column that opens with:

“It’s time to ask tough questions about the National Security Agency’s surveillance activities — even for conservatives who have given the NSA the benefit of every doubt up until now.”

You can read the rest for yourself, because I'm interested in telling you what I object to - though I wouldn't say I give this government anything - even after reading John Fund:

From Day One, there's been a kind of hysterical shock and anger that a program even exists, which has struck me as so immature I'm not surprised anyone involved would be reluctant to deal with the accusers.

The issue of the NSA has appeared to be a continuation of the election year "battle", with various groups still trying to score political points irregardless of substance, and to our detriment as a nation.

It's been conducted in the same unhelpful "gotcha" conspiracy theory-style U.F.O. hunters use - always built on the accusation, not only that something's hidden, but there's something to hide. That people, or agencies, make mistakes - though they complain about that fact daily - is swept aside.

While I understand why those who've set their own hair on fire don't see it this way, most of what they've "discovered" looks pretty routine, hardly what I'd expect from a huge agency working in the shadows with an increasing amount of data for the first time.

There's what - 300+ million people in the United States? And in 2012 they found 2,776 violations of privacy rules. Yawn. What kind of violations aren't mentioned, fueling the conspiracy theorists, who will gladly trade on what isn't known as though it has the same weight as truth. Like the characters you find at Roswell, N.M., the idea they could be mistaken in their framing of issues, innocently or otherwise, is a subject they haven't devoted equal attention to, before or after this event, and they wouldn't welcome it. Whether it's Satan-worshipping Day Care centers, or the government is out to get you, these Americans do love their hysterias.

What they hate is anybody should burst their bubble - or ruin their "fun",...

 

Witches Are Out In Force (Spreading Shit Everywhere)

Two quickie mentions:

1) Last night, I got turned on to WITCH HOUSE - that's underground music for occultists. It sucks as much as they do. No, really - seriously lame music.

So - my tip - if you must start doing drugs, casting spells, sleeping with stupid women STILL auditioning for Russ Meyer's casting couch, and murdering sleeping infants and men while worshiping The AC/DC God (Satan) stick with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. They totally rock(ed) that shit.

And 2) My Bowel Speaks:

"I'm interested to see that I've been part of a movement these last 4 years."

Hey - That's a funny! I'm telling funnies at 6AM! That beats yesterday, don't it? It's almost like me in the old days! (I coulda just said "She's full of shit.") I mean it's 6 in the fucking morning! My first cup o' coffee! Ladies, come on! Have a little sympathy. Did I mention I cut myself yesterday? I cut myself yesterday.

It was bweeding,...
