Gee .....

ASHINGTON — The accelerating rate of climate change poses a severe risk to national security and acts as a catalyst for global political conflict, a report published Tuesday by a leading government-funded military research organization concluded.

The CNA Corporation Military Advisory Board found that climate change-induced drought in the Middle East and Africa is leading to conflicts over food and water and escalating longstanding regional and ethnic tensions into violent clashes. The report also found that rising sea levels are putting people and fod supplies in vulnerable coastal regions like eastern India, Bangladesh and the Mekong Delta in Vietnam at risk and could lead to a new wave of refugees.

In addition, the report predicted that an increase in catastrophic weather events around the world will create more demand for American troops, even as flooding and extreme weather events at home could damage naval ports and military bases.

T'sk, T'sk ....... Beyonce's Sister's Snit Fit is More Important Than This Shit? ........

The Gadfly has never issued an apology for any of his rant/posts.

It's not part of his DNA, nor his operating procedure.

But yesterday, The Gadfly really vented.  And he vented with a vengeance ......

Fuck these people -- it's time to just fucking destroy them.   If it takes a Randy Weaver incident to do it -- so fucking be it.  These fucking assholes want a sovereign nation un to themselves -- then go find a fucking deserted island in the middle of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic or whatever ocean that pleases you, to go live your ratfucking lives.  The rest of America will not miss your dumb asses.

Gadfly is spent .... just fucking beside himself done with these fucking losers.

And The Gadfly apologizes for saying he want's a Randy Weaver incident to occur to teach the sovereign citizen, tea bagging boobs a lesson.

It was un-called for.  In fact ......

The Gadfly does not truly wish bloodshed --- but having said that, the people who want it the most, are the same fuckers crying "oppressive government!"  Hmmmmm?????  It's called suicide by cop.

Nonetheless,  The Gadfly hopes that the militia nuts do provoke the feds in to doing something to control their lawless behavior.  Hopefully that response is non-violent.   Anyway it turns out,  The Gadfly looks forward to the CNN breaking news reports.


Oh -- and btw -- The Gadfly does not apologize for his views of the Teabaggers ...... those opinions stand on their own goddamn feet.

The Gadfly does not need any more evidence to show his self that the gun goon guys are out of control and it's time for someone to knock their small Gonorrhea infected dicks in to the dirt.

But if any fence sitters are still waiting around for that evidence:

AS JENNIFER LONGDON STEERED her wheelchair through the Indianapolis airport on April 25, she thought the roughest part of her trip was over. Earlier that day she'd participated in an emotional press conference with the new group Everytown for Gun Safety, against the backdrop of the National Rifle Association's annual meeting. A mom, gun owner, and Second Amendment supporter, Longdon was paralyzed in 2004 after being shot in her car by unknown assailants, and has since been a vocal advocate for comprehensive background checks and other gun reforms.

As Longdon sat waiting for her flight, a screen in the concourse showed footage of the press conference. A tall, thin man standing nearby stared at Longdon, then back at the screen. Then he walked up to Longdon and spat in her face. No one else blinked.

Longdon was shocked and embarrassed, she told me, but she didn't falter. "Wow, aren't you a big man," she said as he turned and walked away. Instead of calling for security, she wheeled herself to a restroom to clean herself off. She was tired—she lives with constant physical pain—and didn’t want to miss her flight.

"Should I have done something more? Quite honestly, in the scheme of things it was a little man and a little moment," she said. "He felt to me like a coward and a bully."

Longdon is no stranger to such attacks. Last May in her hometown of Phoenix, she helped coordinate a gun buyback program with local police over three weekends. On the first Saturday, a group of men assembled across the street from the church parking lot where Longdon was set up. They shouted about constitutional rights and tyranny, and called people arriving to trade in their guns "sellouts." (The program netted nearly 2,000 firearms with more than $200,000 in reimbursements.)

Some of them approached Longdon. "You know what was wrong with your shooting?" one said. "They didn't aim better." Another man came up, looked Longdon up and down and said, "I know who you are." Then he recited her home address. The harassment continued, and the men showed up throughout the program, a Phoenix police official involved confirmed to me.

After a fundraiser one night during the program, Longdon returned home around 10 p.m., parked her ramp-equipped van and began unloading herself. As she wheeled up to her house, a man stepped out of the shadows. He was dressed in black and had a rifle, "like something out of a commando movie," Longdon told me. He took aim at her and pulled the trigger. Longdon was hit with a stream of water. "Don't you wish you had a gun now, bitch?" he scoffed before taking off.

Ever since the Sandy Hook massacre, a small but vocal faction of the gun rights movement has been targeting women who speak up on the issue—whether to propose tighter regulations, educate about the dangers to children, or simply to sell guns with innovative security features. The vicious and often sexually degrading attacks have evolved far beyond online trolling, culminating in severe bullying, harassment, invasion of privacy, and physical aggression. Though vitriol flows from both sides in the gun debate, these menacing tactics have begun to alarm even some entrenched pro-gun conservatives.

You got these fucking clowns sending death threats to women who have lost children to gun violence and even threatening a woman who is in a wheel chair for her gun control activities.  Where does the cowardice end??

Not only that - you got Alex Jones and his zombie brigade denying that Sandy Hook ever even occurred ... and supporters of that movement even vandalizing memorials for the kids and calling up parents of the dead kids telling them that they are part of a conspiracy ................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The Gadfly has had enough of the Cliven Bundy, Alex Jones, fucking lunatic fringe, loser fucking assholes that are trying to inject their neandertahal, gun goon idiocy in to America's lifeblood of civilized society and that society's politics.

Fuck these people -- it's time to just fucking destroy them.   If it takes a Randy Weaver incident to do it -- so fucking be it.  These fucking assholes want a sovereign nation un to themselves -- then go find a fucking deserted island in the middle of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic or whatever ocean that pleases you, to go live your ratfucking lives.  The rest of America will not miss your dumb asses.

Gadfly is spent .... just fucking beside himself done with these fucking losers.


Big fucking men with big fucking guns to compensate for the lack of size and performance of their very, very, very, very, tiny little penises.

Equal Opportunity Grifters . . . . .

Well . . . The Gadfly supposes this makes all of the oligarch's Wall Street financial crimes ok -- apparently they spread the theft around:

When liberals talk about economic regulation, they often use eye-rolling abstractions like “accountability” and “transparency.” What do those things even mean? How are those objectives enforced, and what would this enforcement even look like? Luckily we have a real-time example of what it all means, courtesy of Dodd-Frank and the SEC. It involves one of the more controversial parts of the financial markets, and it gives us a view into how reform happens.

As a result of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, private equity firms must register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This, in turn, allows the SEC to examine the behavior of private equity firms on behalf of investors. The SEC just completed an initial wave of 150 firms, and what it found is shocking.

These results were unveiled last week when Andrew Bowden, the director of the SEC’s examinations office, gave a speech titled “Spreading Sunshine in Private Equity.” The big takeaway: Half of the SEC’s exams find corruption in the way fees and expenses are handled. Or as Bowden forcefully describes it: “When we have examined how fees and expenses are handled by advisers to private equity funds, we have identified what we believe are violations of law or material weaknesses in controls over 50 percent of the time.”

As Bowden notes, the business model of private equity, which manages almost $3.5 trillion dollars of our nation’s assets, has unique conflicts of interest built into the structure. Private equity firms use their client’s money to do leveraged buyouts of companies. Since this gives them major operating control of both the investment and a pool of other’s investment money, there are significant opportunities to shift costs and otherwise skim off their investors.

Bowden’s speech has numerous examples. One scam is to fire employees of the private equity firm and rehire them immediately as “consultants.” The investors are responsible for consultants’ salaries, where private equity employees are paid out of their own pockets. Another is taking what most private equity investors believe to be part of management fees, things like legal and compliance costs, and billing their investors for them without the investors properly knowing it. A third is private equity firms lying about the valuation methods they use to tell investors about the returns they make each year. All of these are ways for private equity firms to take money from their investors for themselves.

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/117735/private-equity-fraud-how-firms-are-ripping-their-investors


Hahaha!  So basically, these private equity firms (think Mitt Romney and Bain Capital) not only were fucking over and sucking the lifeblood out of the 401k's of John and Mary WorkingStiff, but they were also fucking over and pilfering from the bourgeoisie  private equity investors, people who aren't exactly in the 1% club, but have enough disposable cash/income to invest a fair chunk of it in the equity market.

It really is nail-in-the-coffin level evidence that the Wall Street casino is a nothing more than a huge, byzantine con game that is massively rigged in favor of the house -- in this case the house being the Wall Street financial institutions and banks, and the oligarchs who run them.

It all just makes The Gadfly inch even closer toward just openly rooting for the whole thing to just implode in on itself and let the laws of human nature and societal retribution take their historical course of action.

Drunk Blogging -- Not as Frightening and Horrible as Some Would Depict It .....

Do a Google search on drunk blogging.

There's a lot of hand wringing and self psycho-analysis by people who have done it, and it makes The Gadfly sad.

Why?  Because you shouldn't have to apologize for sitting around in the privacy of your own home, in your skivvies, at your keyboard, and with a half dozen shots of good tequila already lounging in your gullet and pouring your crazy heart out in print.

Just fucking let it happen if the urge comes on.  Sometimes some of the funniest shit comes out of your normally staid and serious personality when your shit-faced.  It's natural -- the booze breaks down inhibitions and you're more likely to really say what's on your fucking mind.

Anyhow, The Gadfly doesn't recommend drunk blogging, because it's not for everyone, but if you do decide to do it now and then, free yourself from the guilt trip aspect of it and just let loose.  You'll feel better about it all when you do.
