Eric Kirk and His Brownshirts Strike Again

[UPDATE :: Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014] -- Israel: A cornered rat

"The rats in Israel have their backs to the wall. They are cornered, and they know it. And as they blindly lash out in useless fury by mass-murdering ever-increasing numbers of helpless women and children, they are simply hastening their own inevitable demise."

---

Here is, in the comments below, a clear-cut example of racist, fascist bigotry of the infected deadly propaganda puking Brownshirts spewing their diseased sociopathic insanity on everyone. Just don't say anything negative about their Holy Jew. That will get your throat cut in a heartbeat. What Eric Kirk and Mitch et. al. don't realize is that this situation has gone way too far for any peaceful, "negotiated" resolution. Their rotten corrupt way of thinking and believing has already judged and killed them. They are like the cancer-ridden person that is two weeks from dying and doesn't know it. Talking won't save them and their Brownshirt scum. Nor will it save the Jews.

Gaza UN shelter attack ‘totally unacceptable’ – White House

Mitch: It has always struck me as remarkable that this situation has continued to exist throughout my lifetime. The willingness of so many Jew-hating idiots on the left to view Israel as an aggressor, given the history, is just proof of the depth with which Jew-hating is embedded in the “Christian” west.

Mitch, you and Eric and all our local Zionist yahoos, are moral cretins, all of you blind to fascism when it’s done by Jews. Wake up, You’re the idiot promoter of Zionist racist assholes stealing Palestinian land and genociding its people. The Christians in the Holy Land are the only ones acting with moral sense and they are attacked by your gang of fascist Jewish nazis as well as the Muhammadan nazis. You dare to throw out that passe smear of Christianity when your, our people are the ones behaving like mad dog rabid animals unable to stop killing even when the victims are clearly innocent people. You and Eric are dangers to Humboldt County activism as you lack both intelligence and morality when it comes to sharing information with the community. Please stop promoting religious fascism along with Eric by supporting the censorship of anti-Zionist posts and by promoting Zionist killer ape ideology.

July 31, 2014 at 1:37 pm

Stephen

Folks, we have a real situation in America where a real 5th Column exists serving a foreign fascist nation at America’s financial and moral expense. Please recognize Zionists in our midst who are representing Israel’s interests so that Israel can get away with literal murder of Palestinians in the way of their hideous racist goal of removing all Gentile Palestinians from Palestine to remake it Jewish, i.e. Yiddish Khazarian Kingdom planted in the Middle East and Americans are paying for it’s establishment and its Zionist killer apes at the helm of Israeli government.

July 31, 2014 at 1:45 pm

Eric Kirk

I decided to let a couple of Stephen’s posts through. I’ve blocked all of his previous rants. Hoping it’ll give a few progressives pause to think about their own rhetoric on the issue.

July 31, 2014 at 1:53 pm

Mitch

Yeah, Eric, I once tried that, too. It didn’t work out well.

To all you hypocrites.

"HENRY SIEGMAN: But a more important point to be made here—and this is why these distinctions are so dishonest—the state of Israel does not recognize a Palestinian state, which is to say there are parties in Netanyahu’s government—very important parties, not marginal parties—including his own, the Likud, that to this day has an official platform that does not recognize the right of Palestinians to have a state anywhere in Palestine. And, of course, you have Naftali Bennett’s party, the HaBayit HaYehudi, which says this openly, that there will never be a state, a Palestinian state, anywhere in Palestine. Why hasn’t our government or anyone said, "Like Hamas, if you have parties like that in your government, you are not a peace partner, and you are a terrorist group, if in fact you use violence to implement your policy, as Hamas does"? So the hypocrisy in the discussion that is taking place publicly is just mind-boggling."

The complete interview on Democracy Now is in two parts, here and here.

Filthy Mouth

What's with the filthy mouth? More typical low-class, filthy, scummy hypocrisy of a Brownshirt blog and their enablers.

If "Nobigdeal" was to respond to the filthy personal assault in his or her defence he or she would be censored, deleted and block from further participation on the blog for violating "comment rules." This kind of action is perfectly alright with the TE people just as long as they agree with the personal assault - someone defending them and their Brownshirt policies.

This is an issue for two reasons. One, it establishes the total loss of credibility and defines and identifies the purpose or reason for the blogs existence. And two, this is where this kind of worthless opinionated atrocity starts and is justified.

Editor Defends Decision to Drop George Will After Rape Column

“We had a lot of readers very angry and very hurt,” St. Louis Post-Dispatch's op-ed chief explains

And this:  St. Louis Paper Drops George Will Column After ‘Offensive’ Rape Piece

Actually he was dropped because his column was "controversial."

Eric Kirk used the same justifications for censoring and blocking people on his blog. In a Democracy EVERYONE needs to hear and see controversial points of view and understandings. Observations are not the same as worthless opinions. Yet we have people accused, judged and put to death on totally worthless unsubstantiated opinions. That lawlessness and corruption has its roots in these kinds of hypocritical actions and justification. They are all a net negative to the community.

This is just one example:

It isn’t a scoop when you scanner jump and call the police before a press-release is issued. Police need to take care of business instead of calling the blogs.

The police did say they were investigating if there was gang involvement.

All LOCO does is reprint press releases and the Times-Standard labels press releases as breaking news.

All TE does is take stuff and twist it to suit your political agenda. You are just Heraldo regurgitated.

For original news, try the Northcoast Journal.

The Brownshirt Solution is a Real Life Tragedy

[UPDATE :: Sunday, June 8, 2014 :: Brownshirt slime show their true colors - the so-called elite in quality blogging shows the folly of voting in local elections. Reminds me of the Triple Crown race at the Belmont Stakes Saturday - a foregone conclusion.]

Where it all starts: The Brownshirt Real Life Tragedy as they touch REAL people with Totalitarian Fascist Solutions.

---

When I wrote this post I hadn't decided to post it on this blog. However, when I heard the following quote on Democracy Now this morning, I decided I had to say something. By the way, voting for whatever people seem to believe it is worth won't take care of this sickness. The complete article on Democracy Now.

AMY GOODMAN: In an astounding this morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe the — half, if not the majority of the guests and hosts said that he should not have been saved. Given his political views.
JAMES BRANUM: That is insane. In our country we don’t sacrifice our service members based on their political beliefs. That is disgusting, personally.

Apparently we do now. Censoring on blogs for political beliefs or dissenting views is just the beginning.

---

In the 150 years or so since the Civil War you would naturally believe, after all the World Wars, all the fighting and dying, all the sacrifices that were paid for the right to be free men and women we would be living in a modern utopia of glutinous freedoms and liberties. Rather than living in a world of barbaric cannibals daily gorging themselves on - eating our rights to be free and independent citizens charting our course in this life to all our unalienable rights, i.e.,

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

What we get, and this is a good example, of the real time social barbarism and terrorist philosophy that drives or empowers such darkage beliefs. Some of the end results, in America, the victims are just thrown into solitary confinement for life – a form of tortured murder or execution. It's called indefinite detention, without trial in some cases. These beliefs are then translated into laws that justified some of the worlds most abhorrent despots and murderous tyrants. Today millions of Americans are incarcerated and for what? Not being white? How many innocent people were forced to plead to a police frame-up because stupid or racist jurors and corrupt judges rubber-stamped into prison?

I'm talking about this blog and article: "Another tragic incident, with a pitiful outcome well short of Justice" - Be sure to read the comments to get the full impact.

It all seems innocuous enough, right. Just conversation trying to work out a reasonable solution.
What makes this serious for everyone is how this kind of conduct extrapolates into real life and dramatically affects our social community to its everlasting detriment. You can't spit on the sidewalk without committing a felony. Felons are a permanent sub-class American. The police are lawless in their own right and replicate that attitude when dealing with everyone. When was the last time anyone challenged Humboldt Superior Court Judge Dale Reinholtsen for that position or any other Superior Court Judge locally?

Knee-jerk justice speaks for itself. Extreme knee-jerk laws tend to create injustice. You can't cure a disease by trying to treat the symptoms. Yet that is the panacea everyone believes voting does.

For those that don't know, here is the definition of insanity:

Insanity. n. mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior.

Look around more people fit that description than you might think. Especially, all those Brownshirts enforcing and subjecting everyone to their worthless opinions.

The Brownshirt Hypocrite Strikes Again

General Brownshirt Bigot Bans Another. Eric Kirk sets the precedent for raging bigotry, and justification for direct action discrimination against anyone that fails to toe his invisible line on blogs and in our community. Follow comments on local blogs and you find more and more intolerant, bigoted behavior hiding behind a pseudo-community oriented blog. What makes this serious for everyone is how this kind of conduct extrapolates into real life and dramatically affects our social community to its everlasting detriment.

Stumble into one of these blogs, make a comment of a differing point of view or even a factual observation and you find out in a hurry what it feels like to be a person of color or a woman in a backwater berg in the Jim Crow era. Make the mistake of trying to defend yourself or your point of view and you find out what mob rule is all about when you are summarily verbally beaten. If you didn't learn your lesson from these verbal bullies the first time or two and willingly shut up and mind your place like you were told, they permanently silence you.

Here is a verse from Maya Angelou's poem 'Still I Rise' that demonstrates the graphic reality of words followed by another example of such words from one of Eric Kirk's Brownshirts put into practice:

You can shoot me with your words,
You can cut me with your lies,
You can kill me with your hatefulness,
But just like life, I’ll rise.

[Emphasis mine.]

Mitch

Thank you, Nutcase Anonymous, for being accurate in your quote. [Emphasis mine.]

---

The following action of bigoted discrimination justified by words of hateful lies on Eric Kirk's blog motivated this posting.

May 26, 2014 at 7:43 am  Eric Kirk  
I’m sure the rabbis are all quaking in their boots Steve. That will be your last post as your irrational anger with Jews really has no place here, or anywhere really. You can do this on your own blog. I’m sure your immense following will enjoy your thoughts. [Emphasis mine.]

Notice Kirk's reason for banning Steve from posting on his blog: "irrational anger with Jews." The question I ask is, do any of Steve's comments in this thread demonstrate "evidence" (Kirk's always demanding 'evidence') of "anger" or even "irrational anger" suggesting that Steve in MENTALLY deprived or STUPID? Or, did he simply speak a "truth"? Here is the definition of irrational:

1. without the faculty of reason; deprived of reason.
2. without or deprived of normal mental clarity or sound judgment.
3. not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical.

I've included below what I consider the pertinent comments to this issue of bigoted discrimination. There are other comments in this thread. The first comment by Dave Kirby is included because it is a perfect example of Eric Kirks discrimination and identifies one of his Brownshirts. It also starts the bigoted statements justifying Kirk's banning Steve for trying to defend himself.

May 25, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Dave Kirby  Steve …I have nothing to do with the newspaper. Wrong Kirbys. You see Steve I know a little more about you than most. Your history here in solum is pretty well known You’ve been a bigot and a looney for quite a long stretch. I am not a progressive i’m still a liberal. [Emphasis mine.]

It is perfectly okay for this guy, Dave Kirby, a retired real estate salesman living in Garberville, to personally assault Steve. And then turn right around and use this guys lies to justify banning him.

Here are Steve's two comments preceding Kirk's kinetic judgment.

May 25, 2014 at 6:22 pm   Steve  Dave’s done another Prog hit and run attack like John Chiv did on Rose’s blog. Lob a smear and then run away like cowardly kids throwing mud pies at adults and beating a hasty retreat. Hey, DAVE, show us where I am this bigot you called me. Come on, post your proof of this bigotry and good luck there as I really don’t know of any ethnic group of people I have a problem with except racist Jewish Zionists who are trying to steal Palestine away from Gentile Arab Palestinians. 

You Progs seem to have no ethical backbone when called on your dirty tricks. You guys just run and hide and lack accountability for your acts which explains why people in Humboldt County are fed up with Progressive pols and will oust all the Prog candidates in the very near future. 

May 25, 2014 at 7:51 pm   Eric Kirk  Alright, that’s quite enough of that. 

May 26, 2014 at 5:09 am   Steve  Ah, the Zionist speaks up to protect the Cause. Censorship next again, Eric? Well, here’s another one for you to deal with: Judaism is facing its End Times as I’ve challenged all rabbis to answer the one question that destroys all of Judaism’s religious authority: the question? What is the true historical origin of the word “Torah”. Ask that question of any rabbi and you will get only the religion of Judaism’s answer, that the word “Torah” is derived from the Hebrew root meaning “to point to” which became interpreted as “to teach”. Other meanings are Torah is the word for the Five Books of Moses. And these are all pure Judaism religious fabrications and I can show the historical proof to show this, how the word and concept were another theft of pagan religious ideas. The word Torah and the basic concept as well come from ancient Egypt in a most embarrassing way into Judaism. Only ancient Egypt’s lost to Western world consciousness religion keeps people from knowing about the Torah’s origin in Egypt. Noami Steinberg runs from answering this question of the true origin of Judaism’s basic doctrine and she should because once you learn the true origin of the Torah you also learn Judaism got it upside down and backwards and deliberately so that a religious priesthood in Judah could be formed to rule Judah using an elaborate Wizard of Oz Show to do so.

Have a show, Eric, on just this one topic, the Origin of the Torah, I dare you to look at what that religion you seek so much to be part of really is about in its root conception. And understand why I am a Jewish Christian and follow God and not a follower or fan of Judaism, the worship of everything Jewish.

And with that, Kirk summarily censors Steve for speaking an obvious truth or so he says. So, there it is, Brownshirt bigots doing their best to tell everyone what is acceptable and what is not.

The Rise of the Blogging Brownshirts

[UPDATE Below] 

The deadly Brownshirt Trolls are hard at work spreading their lying filth and disease-ridden innuendo wherever someone will let them. Blogger Brownshirts are self-defined by their actions that equate to their predecessors' historical murderous conduct; THEY PERSONALLY ASSAULT PEOPLES' CREDIBILITY, INTEGRITY, HONESTY AND LEGITIMACY to shut them up permanently.  

On April  15, 2014, I included the following thoughts in another re-posted article. In view of the current situation manifesting in local blogs, it appears it needs to be reemphasized:

If you don't know, "Brownshirts are a collection of thugs who get quite annoyed at those who oppose" them, their judging, their propaganda, wanton personal hyperbolic attacks and their sick never-ending filthy lies they believe they have the god-given right to assault with anyone they want. In the real world of yesterday they were nothing more than a gang of bullying political murderers that paraded around in all their glorious self-righteous impunity. Today, none of them are of the 1% oligarchic plutocracy, but they serve them just the same as their modern-day "Brownshirts."

When you censor and block dissenting commenters you reveal yourself as a sponsor, enabler and protector of these vicious Brownshirt Trolls.

So far I've identified five of blogs providing a safe-haven for two chapters of Brownshirts.

One of these blogs I've already identified and written about. The others, not wanting at this time to provide easy access or advertise in their behalf, I won't post any links. Just know that when you see these pictures where you are.

If you read Eric Kirk and His Brownshirts - Called Out Again below, you can easily recognize the Brownshirt Trolls' method of operation as Eric Kirk provides a perfect demonstration. First, should you choose to make a dissenting comment about the blog article or any of it's affirming commentary, you will be challenged by the most personal and vilifying diatribe, hyperbole, innuendo, and out right lies such as: "Only an idiot or a crazy lunatic would say that or take that opinionated position." Those kinds of filthy personal accusations are directed at the credibility and integrity of the person making the comment and NOT at the substance of the comment. But not so in Eric Kirk's mind.

In his mind the opinion or idea - the position - is idiotic or crazy. But that is NOT what he said and wrote.

Should the hapless victim try to defend him or herself, they have just proved Kirk's assertion (accusation) that they are either an idiot, crazy or both. Who but such people would conflate themselves with their "position" or worthless opinions rattling around in their empty heads and be "personally" offended? Score another one for the Brownshirts.

The problem when entering one of the Brownshirt Havens is you are stepping into a maze of quicksand totally in the dark. Most of the blogs never post any kind of guidelines or rules for making comments on their blogs. Those that do post something use them to discriminate against anyone they don't like. Clearly, in the example above, Kirk's personal accusation deviates from the blog article or it's theme no matter what it might be. Yet, it is the defender that the rule, oftentime unspoken "rule," is used against should that person dare object to the personal off-theme attack.

In the world of blogging I would consider these thug, bullying Brownshirt's antics incidental and irrelevant. Between the gossip-mongering, hatemongering, ridiculing, and lying about what people say, most of these blogs are nothing more than Troll Dens serving as home-bases for a Brownshirt Chapter. They possess NO credibility whatsoever.  I've learned over a lifetime that when these kinds of people raised their viperous heads and began spewing their dishonest vitriol and it was generally passed off by the decent folk as a fad -- well lets just say, they lived to regret their amorphous judgments. Taken literally, the original Brownshirts, their political and general philosophy for existence; what guided and justified their actions as compared to these local Brownshirts, is a mere bullet.

Everything, all creation, starts with an idea. Once that idea becomes accepted commonplace it materializes into reality. These Blogger Brownshirts are only one bullet away from that reality.

---

[UPDATE :: Friday, May 23, 2014]

I've identified another Haven. This comment is another good example that the blog owner affirms and lets go unchallenged for blatant bald-faced lying. Brownshirts' purpose is to SILENCE all dissenters – people that don't bow down and worship the Plutocratic Oligarchy they support, empower and defend. I, frankly do NOT give a rat's ass who agrees or does NOT agree with me.

I wonder….

There’s some guy out there who lately has taken to calling everyone who disagrees with him “Brown Shirts.” It would be very disappointing to find out Mr. Berg and this other fellow were one and the same.

For the record, no one is “evil” (except puppy abusers) and no one is a saint. We are just a bunch of folks trying to figure out the best way through this mess called life.

(Who made this scummy bastard God? "For the record" that statement is just his worthless opinion, and I do mean worthless. The fact that he presumes to speak for everyone belies his wannabe truth - what makes him illegitimate.)

When someone disagrees with us (Progressive, Regressive, Conservative, Liberal) it does not mean someone wants to get the trains going so they can ship their opponents to the Death Camps. It’s supposed to be a civil discussion, where consensus is reached and we make policy for ourselves we can all live with.

(No, in his case, they just put a bullet in your head - they censor you, they block you the moment you reject their lying false accusations and disease-ridden innuendo - see above. In that he mirrors his true father, and He is truly the Evil Father of the Lie. "Civility" died with the first lie. The Browshirts turned it all into war.)

It starts with listening. [Emphasis Mine.]

Eric Kirk and His Brownshirts - Called Out Again

Eric Kirk Indicts Himself AGAIN

I'm not the only one to experience the offending ridicule, mockery and derision pumped out by Eric Kirk and his Brownshirt Trolls. What offends me the most about these people is their rank, in-your-face hypocrisy. What's interested me lately is how they've all brazenly crawled out from under their rocks and shown their true colors. That demonstrates to me a real trend change in society. There's a lot of pent-up anger and hatred just under the surface waiting to manifest itself. Whether you call yourself Progressive, Democrat, Conservative, Tea Party or Republican or something else the pent-up emotions are all the same. The lines are being drawn and everyone, mostly when they can hide behind their anonymity and are protected by complicit blog owners, attack unrelentingly. Given the opportunity, I believe these modern-day Brownshirts would operate just the same as the originals did.

Here is another offended commenter that thought he had entered into a civil and instructive discussion. Notice when he or she points out the flagrant personal invective, motivated and incentivized by the blog owner Eric Kirk, how he disinvites him from participating on his blog for being inadequate, stupid and unable to meet the high standards of his blog forum. His practice of selective censorship is on full display again - the Brownshirt solution for silencing all dissent.

Yes, Unk John, you are combining the comments of 2 diff. Anons.I am the Anon that is perplexed by local, known individuals like Mitch and Eric, among many others here, struggling to sound intelligent while simultaneously joining in mob-mentality by ridiculing and mocking concern over chemtrails, comparing them to “crazies” (Mitch), “mind-control” (Mitch) and “conspiracy theorists” (Mitch). 

Obviously, intelligent people that believe as Mitch and Eric purport to, would never respond at all to such “craziness”, let alone, week after week happily dismissing, exaggerating, mocking, and ridiculing others. For those that are clearly concerned by chemtrails, I would ask that you reevaluate your assertion that Mitch, or Eric’s comments are “more gentile than you perceive”. 

Early in this string someone posted videos of geo-engineer seminars reflecting years of actual chemtrail research devoid of human-impact considerations. This should have eliminated any illusions of “conspiracies”. No one disputed this fact, however, instead of outrage over the proposed continuation of scientific models unchanged in U.S. history, (human experimentation on native people with untreated small pox, and uranium poisoning, exposing indigent Americans to untreated syphilis, plutonium, DDT, nuclear fallout, etc), they chose, instead, to engage in endless ridicule. 

This is not the choice intelligent people would make. 

Actual tests of existing chemtrail research is hardly in the same league as “crazies, mind-control, Big Foot, Ancient Aliens, crop circles, space elevators, etc”. 

Again, ridicule is vile. It is a form of aggressive hostility. Attempts to conceal vileness behind a pathetic excuse of being “sad” is beyond belief. 

It is conceivable that, by the 500th comment, the neurosis on tour here can be extinguished by asking how we allowed very mean, small minded people to indulge their psychosis and distract us from “changing our minds” about chemtrails as a frightening continuation of “science” fully prepared to being the next unaccountable mass-experiment. [Emphasis mine.]

 Eric Kirk's rather lengthy response follows. Some of what he says is frankly astounding. What he says lays bare a whole lot about his character and the value of his quality as a person. His ability to conflate the ridicule of the individual with his "position" or the subject under discussion is masterful. Then he accuses him of being "silly" for taking the ridicule personally. Typical lawyer "bait and switch" trap Kirk is so proficient at manipulating. This is what make Eric Kirk and his blog one of the more prominent local Troll blogs and a Brownshirt haven. Note the second paragraph, a perfect example of Troll talking ROT. All Trolls know how to read minds and can tell everyone how and what someone thinks and believes. All the while demeaning, ridiculing, and vilifying you with all the aplomb and self-righteous arrogance of a thug bully.

Regarding the posting: What Eric Kirk thinks, as he argues below, is basically unimportant and irrelevant, how he demonstrably thinks is not. And how he thinks is what makes this whole exercise so troubling and dangerous. The Brownshirt movement was born of a way of thinking that then transformed into a self-deceiving belief that justified their historical litany of atrocities.

May 15, 2014 at 8:48 am

Eric Kirk

Anonymous 10:53 – If you’re that sensitive to ridicule over a particular issue, it suggests a bit of insecurity around your position, which is actually to your credit. Otherwise, the ridicule would be of minimal concern to you. If you’re truly in the right, it shouldn’t matter what the rest of us think or say about it. That you take it so personally suggests that maybe you recognize how silly the position appears to most people.

The problem here is that you’re going to see what you want to see based on your ideology of grand government conspiracies. Your view of the sky fits your view of everything else, but you have enough common sense to understand how it looks. So you get angry when it’s pointed out.

I’m ridiculed for all sorts of my positions from people who disagree with me, as you will find in abundance if you read many of the threads here. I don’t see their ridicule as “vile.” I see it as part of the discussion.

And I’m sorry, but when someone claims he’s seen something in the sky that is abnormal, and is presented with overwhelming evidence that it’s really nothing special, and that what he sees is easily explainable with a little bit of scientific knowledge, and he stubbornly refuses to even address the actual science, he opens himself up to ridicule. You can go to dozens of sources which with photographs of the cloud types complete with explanations found in textbooks dating back decades or even hundreds of years. But that’s no fun. It’s much more fun and satisfying to believe that your in some elite clique of people who “know” what’s really happening because nobody else notices what’s going on in the sky above him. It helps him to feel smug and superior, and more importantly special. He will see what he wants to see, because the pieces all fit together for him, and everything he sees will only reinforce that picture he desperately wants to maintain. He will believe that all of the clouds in the sky are man made, even if it contradicts not just basic rules of physics and chemistry, but common sense – a cloud cannot move against the wind, and the wind only blows in one direction at any given location. He will cite no peer-reviewed studies that these materials can even possibly create clouds, but that’s of no matter to him, because these scientists with their journals are all part of a cabal which seeks to control the truth. He doesn’t need actual empirical evidence. He just knows, because he “sees.” 

That self-deception is at the core of risks of every pursuit of truth and that grand theories require grand evidence just doesn’t occur to him.

That’s extremely frustrated to those of us to do make some effort to recognize our ignorance, and when we make a simple request for such a thing of photographic evidence of an occurrence which supposedly takes place twice a month and the request is rejected as game playing, well, it fits into a pattern of the pseudo-scientist who doesn’t realize that you need an incredible amount of work to arrive at even the smallest of a truth. You need to eliminate all variables, or as many as possible. You need to look to the most simple of explanations before running wild with the most exotic.

The pursuit of understanding is not an easy path. i understand that. But if you’re going to persist in lazy approach and be righteous about it – I’m probably going to ridicule you, especially if I see enough people jumping on a bandwagon so that it’s an actual problem – a detriment to any real hope for positive solutions to realproblems. And if you can’t handle the rough and tumble of lively discussion, then this is probably not the forum for you. [Emphasis mine.]

Kirk's problem and his indictment is that he can't handle the "rough and tumble of lively discussions," that is why he uses his Brownshirt solution to intimidate, bully, and murder (silence) dissent.

Furthermore, Eric Kirk knows absolutely nothing about the "pursuit of understanding." He has only dabbled at the edges. A man that has pursued understanding, the fruitage of a pursuit of "knowledge" thinks, becomes and operates in a significantly more valued way than Eric Kirk has manifest on his blog and in life. On April the sixth I posted The Four Natural Enemies of a Man of Knowledge. Excerpts from "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" by Carlos Castaneda.

When it comes to knowing this pursuit, what it means to be and become a "man of knowledge," I can speak from experience as I have defeated all the "enemies" but the final one.

Eric Kirk and His Brownshirts

Most of these so-called community oriented blogs are nothing more than a conduit for the inane, dregs of society to puke out mountains of hyperbolic vitriol, lies and violent hate speech. They personally attack other commenters with such a frenzy you would believe you had just walked into a barnyard  full of chickens going after a cockroach. These people, for the most part cowardly, thug bullies, try to cover themselves with a fig leaf of the first amendment to justify their primary objective of fomenting, enabling and empowering prejudice, bigotry, racism, hate, violence and yes, even terrorism. If these offending blogs actually post visible and obvious comment rules, most don't, they are never enforced upon the worst offenders; those that support the blog's owners, their objectives, and their standard class and political dictum.

As noted before, blogs are a good measure of a community's social health. You get mostly unfettered articles on subjects that interest the blog owner and often enough, a whole panoply of commentary from visitors that sets the community tone - from the mundane nonsense, racist, bigoted, biased, prejudiced, moronic, ignorant, stupid, baseless, filthy lies, innuendo, false accusations and other hate-filled and mongering blather, ad hominem, and hyperbole to enlightening, inspirational, intelligent, commonsense instructional, current news and otherwise fun reading. Occasionally, you get a replica of what if feels like to live in a totalitarian, authoritarian fascist Elitist State when you visit one of these blogs and make a comment. The Nazi Brownshirts that possess an IQ of a pig come out in droves fully blessed and empowered by the Blog owner and moderator to attack and verbally assault, bully and ridicule. All the time proclaiming their right as a free American to wage verbal warfare on the unsuspecting visitor. They wait with baited breath for you to try to defend yourself so they can justify their "right" to assault you as a hate mongering Troll.

Like most houses of ill repute, they look nice on the outside, are inviting and full of promises, the beauty they offer is breathtaking, but deliver a slow death. That is why they cater to the intellectually adolescent, the brainwashed 5 year old, full of feel-good propaganda that only knows what they believe. Consequently, they are incapable and unable to accept or handle the truth. To them, truth becomes hate speech. As such, truth directly threatens their sense of self, who they believe they are - as revealed, bankrupt, worthless opinions.

When I start the Joe Blow Report I determined to be inclusive and list all the local blogs. My interest in Southern Humboldt garnered me an introduction to Eric Kirk and his SoHum Parlance II. Occasionally, he would introduce a subject of interest and I would comment on an observation or two. The end result, well -- his latest comment pretty much says it all -- his true feelings about me and my commentary.

Eric Kirk

Actually Joe, what I noticed is that when the threads were no longer perpetually dominated by nonsensical posts from you, Forest Queen, and Suzi, participation from everyone else actually picked up. [Emphasis mine.]

But that wasn't all. He runs an open blog, everyone can comment on anything they want and as much as they want. He posts NO rules or restrictions; from time to time he says he knows what he doesn't like when he sees it, and deletes the comment -- so ultimately, commenting on his blog is like going into court and having a  judge tell you, "Make your best case and I'll decide which laws apply, if any." No way to defend yourself there; it's all about the judge's self-serving worthless opinions.

He says the "threads were no longer perpetually dominated by nonsensical posts." I would encourage the reader to go to his blog and look at the mountain of "nonsensical blog posts" under, All Things Reconsidered on KMUD Tonight – “What can change your mind? that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the theme that he actively participates in. OH Yeah! There are at current time 437 comments - mostly "nonsensical" by his judgment and past interpretations.

It seems he doesn't run such an "open" blog after all. To impress everyone who is boss of his blog, without a word despite what he says now, he banned Forest Queen some time ago. When he did that he never said anything about moderating Suzy or my comments. I stopped making comments after reading his personal and insulting comments justifying his arbitrary behavior. Speaking for myself, I'm not a grammar school child in Eric Kirk's school for ignorant morons. Recently, different commenters have been asking about Forest Queen and why she can't return to make comments. Eric Kirk explains why she can't:

Forest Queen was banned because I received about half a dozen complaints from people telling me offline that they no longer come here because she dominates every thread and dilutes every discussion with incoherent nonsense, apparently just for kicks. I gave several warnings. 

The last straw was a thread in which there had been a very interesting discussion which dissolved when she made about 7 or 9 straight nonsensical posts – the discussion was dead. 

I don’t actually remember anything she posted about law. I’m sure she did, but nothing that struck me as anything intellectually memorable. 

There are plenty of other blogs for her to play her games on. She can start her own. [Emphasis mine.]

I would like to point out that his justification is totally bogus, without basis. No one can "dominate" any thread or dilute any "discussion," with what he judges to be "incoherent nonsense," not unless you are an illiterate moron. Besides, to a five year old almost everything adults talk about is "incoherent nonsense."

When Suzy posted a comment on the above reasons, I decided to test him and see if he had banned me from commenting too. This is what I got when I posted the following comment:

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

After blocking Forest Queen my tolerance for Eric Kirk’s in-your-face hypocrisy and his unAmerican supporters’ hyperbolic justification tanked. Promised myself if ever had anything to say I’d publish on my own blog, but this is unreal. Whatever Eric Kirk thought to do and now justify is really amusing, not to mention so ever satisfying to witness his exposure. You shit in your own bed Kirk and don’t even know it. 

Has anyone bothered to take a look the the extent of this blog thread (alone), as of this writing 421 comments, with its extensive, “dominating and diluting” massive blather, “with incoherent nonsense,” and compare it with Eric Kirk’s reasons for banning (censoring Forest Queen)? While at the same time promoting himself as a champion patriot, defending the rights and freedoms consistent with or to a democratic society. You couldn't ask for a more perfect example of a “dead thread” totally unrelated to the original blog posting. Talk about rank, rotten hypocrisy – the stench permeates my offices so bad I had to turn off the computer. 

“What goes around always comes around,” Kirk, and that is the real reason people stopped associating with you. You, actually, did us all a favor, in particular Forest Queen.

Interestingly, even though I am not outright banned, Eric DID post this comment with his answer, AFTER MODERATION:

Actually Joe, what I noticed is that when the threads were no longer perpetually dominated by nonsensical posts from you, Forest Queen, and Suzi, participation from everyone else actually picked up.

Notice how he doesn't answer the issue of the hypocritical monumental blog stacking nonsensical posts - his rank hypocrisy. Typical of the weasley sleaze he goes right after my integrity. The question I ask is, who is proven to perpetually dominate his bog with nonsensical posts now? The stupid, inane commentary boiling out of his blog now rivals all comments ever made by Forest Queen, Suzy or me.

Be assured, SoHum Parlance II is NOT the only blog in Humboldt County to act this way. The Brownshirt movement is rather extensive. They threaten everything decent, honest and lawful people hold dear. This class of people are at war with the decent, the generous, the knowledgeable and the law abiding champions of truth, justice and the right to self-defense. They pose a real and abiding threat to our survival, as a nation, as a people and as a community.  While they live in relative obscurity on blogs and on the Internet, they live among us as they constantly project and enforce their evil will.

Communist Censorship and McCarthyism

[UPDATE Below] [UPDATE II :: Natural consequence:  "Why don't American oligarchs fear the consequences of their corruption, and how can that be changed?"]

Totalitarians thrive in the dark. They operate in the dark realms of the voodoo believers. Force people to operate on superstitions, mythological traditions, or secular religious cults in one form or another, call them political parties or organizations and you easily control the general population. That is, as long as the "common man and woman" believes they have some relevant say in matters.

So the priority is to keep people in ignorance if they can't keep information silenced. In the computer and Internet age where there is widespread travel, movies and television this has become rather difficult. In America, specially after World War Two, college and university education came to the low-class masses in America – predominantly the men. It then became their goal to see their children go to college and upgrade their status in society. Problem was, the education their children were getting, to a large extent, contradicted their propagandistic brainwashed beliefs the war had forced upon them, so what to do. Information of any kind doesn't benefit anyone if they can't think. That required changing their priority from thinking motivated people to believing motivated people. All they had to do was make their children believe they were worthless individuals unable to think for themselves. Make them believe that whatever they thought or believed, whatever ideas they came up with equal to any adult was worthless nonsense. Fortunately, this sickness that pervades America and the World didn't afflict everyone. You can always tell who these sick McCarthyites are.

The first thing the totalitarian type does is attack dissenters, disbelievers or thinking people personally. Their attacks start out with the usual lying accusations of an emotional issue denigrating the legitimacy of your right or ability to any kind of worthwhile or valid idea, statement, or belief, i.e., “you're angry,” “you're sick,” or in extreme cases, “you're crazy.” In Russia they promptly shipped such people off to Siberia by the millions for “indoctrination” of their sickness  –  not agreeing. In America, they put you in the nether world of rejected silence, a place of nonexistence – the Siberian equivalent.

America is blessed with an interesting phenomenon, some might even say paradox, in that those championing and defending all American's inherent right to their personal freedoms of expression and religion against such tyrannical Communistic or Socialist censorship are the strongest defenders of it. Senator Joe McCarthy was a good example of this.

“Today the term (McCarthyism) is used more generally in reference to demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character and/or patriotism of political opponents.”

Which we see utilized and enforced on a regular basis in these Internet blogs. What's paradoxical about such McCarthyite defenders of freedom are the very people you'd least expect. President Barck Obama is a good example. Glenn Greenwald speaks to this issue in his article, “Most likely to attack Iran.”

“ *** Obama — by leading progressives and Democrats to support his embrace of Bush/Cheney Terrorism and civil liberties policies — was doing more to entrench those once-controversial policies as bipartisan consensus than Bush and Cheney themselves could ever have dreamt of doing.”

Of recent date, another one of these people has begun or at least tried to incite a similar Joe McCarthy mentality, some might say spirit, into my participation on blogs where he writes and makes comments. It's probably the very last person in Humboldt County you would expect, too. Here's an example of the latest: 

An Interesting Moment in the Senate by Eric Kirk


Eric Kirk said 23 hours ago:  Again Joe posts his default response to any news about the body politic. Again Joe, we know you think it’s all bullshit, and there are some posters who agree with you. But don’t you get tired of typing the same stuff over and over again?

Seems innocent or innocuous enough of a comment to say that all anyone posts is repetitious bullshit not fit to read. But then, look who is doing to talking. It is in this arrogant, self-righteous attitude that the roots of bigotry, bias, prejudice, and hatred live and feed.

This article is an update to the Good Ol' Boy Club below.

[UPDATE :: Tuesday, July 31. 2012]

Mind-numbing “body politic.” Local political junky and rhetorical propaganda enabler shows the way to what Glenn Greenwald explains in his latest article: Extremism normalized. If you want to know the root cause of what Greenwald is exposing, go no further than Eric Kirk's blog, SoHum Parlance II and his posts on the Humboldt Herald blog. Tune into the Comment Section and prepare to become inundated with boredom. It's comparable to those old science classes where everyone was forced to dissect for the umpteenth time those rotten smelling bullfrogs.

[UPDATE II :: Wednesday, August 1, 2012]

No fear. When I communicate with the likes of an Eric Kirk, a practicing lawyer in Humboldt County, the one constant that impressed me was his cavalier approach to the horrendous consequences descending upon the people of this country, including right here where we all live. Glenn Greewald puts it this way in his article: Chris Hayes on elite failure.

I see no evidence that “rich people are very, very afraid” — at least not by their actions. And that, to me, is the problem. That fear — a lot more of it — is necessary. Their ability to rope themselves off from the society they are degrading, combined with the para-militarization of domestic police forces (aggressively displayed in response to the Occupy movement and related protests), and the rapidly increasing domestic powers of surveillance and detention (designed to intimidate the citizenry and thus deter and guard against mass protests), have convinced them, I think, that they need not fear any protest movements or social unrest, that America can and will become more and more of a police state to suppress it. An elite class that is free to operate without limits — whether limits imposed by the rule of law or fear of the responses from those harmed by their behavior — is an elite class that will plunder, degrade, and cheat at will, and act endlessly to fortify its own power.

The problem for these Fearless Fosdicks is that "nothing is ever as it seems" and they're in for a big surprise.

How to turn a 'blind eye' to crime

I'll admit after reading Dave Stancliff's masterful “Opinion” Sunday, July 17, 2011, I had to read it again and skim through it one more time to finally “get” his reason for writing: “Counting the many ways crime does pay.” - His solitary reason for why crime should NOT pay, that is, IF everyone does their part. Or, in other words, why everyone should turn a “blind-eye to crime.”

His reasoning: “As It Stands, the answer is to not buy, read, or listen to any true stories about killers in our society.” REMEMBER, his words, not mine.

Here he conflates crime, murder and murders with the word “killer.” As such, we could add some other words such as “assassin,” “assassinate,” “manslayer,” “manslaughter” to name a few. Of course we also have, something that is “extremely difficult or perilous”: reading all Stancliff's Opinion was “murder.” Then there is, “to spoil or mar by bad performance, representation, pronunciation, etc.”: Stancliff “murdered” that opinion. Next we have, “to engage in a deplorable activity without incurring harm or punishment”: The readers let Stancliff and the Times-Standard Editors get away with “murder.” Next: “to protest loudly and angrily”: Stancliff screamed bloody “murder” at his critique. Finally, the two reasons for posting this article (1), “get away with murder, to escape censure; do as one pleases”: For years, now, Dave Stancliff's gotten away with “murder” by getting the newspaper to publish his lame opinions. Lastly (2), “to destroy; ruin”: He murdered her reputation and good name.

Makes one wonder if Stancliff was talking about himself? Every Sunday the Times-Standard devotes one half page to him and what does he do? Does he write about serious, important local issues that go to the very heart of everyone's lives in the North Coast? His record speaks for itself.

Does he respect his readers and simply lay out the facts so the reader can decide what to do, how to think or believe? He says: “As It Stands, the answer is to not buy, read, or listen to any true stories about killers in our society.” That sounds a whole lot like TELLING people what to do: “not buy, read or listen to any TRUE stories about killers.” Never you mind stories based on factually false propaganda,spouted as the official line, about lies, fantsies and worthless opinions. There's another word for what he's telling people to do: CENSORSHIP.

If you do what he tells you to do the first thing you'll do is stop reading the newspaper. You certainly will not buy it to read the article across the page by Nat Hentoff, “Is there an emancipation day for 'good faith' torturers?” Hentoff is talking about the “true stories” of war crimes that involved deliberate murder and murderers. Crimes that involve the current U.S. President Barack Obama and the past President George Bush and their administrations or governments (Bush/Cheney & Obama/Biden). Better to turn a blind eye to these criminals and their crimes – out of site, out of mind.

The consequences should be obvious. When questionable activities that amount to torture (use of tazers, for instance) or a violent death that occurs at the hands of the local police no one pays any attention. Well, except, maybe for a few mentally questionable, liberal radicals. “Shit happens,” they (the blind) are fond of saying, but these kooks can't accept that fact. What about the killers that make a practice of deliberately running stop signs? If that's the kind of world or community you want to live in, then by all means read what Dave Stancliff tells you to read, listen to, and buy.
