Democracy Now!'s Barrett Brown Puff Piece Ignores Hacker's Threats Against the FBI

I watched this Democracy Now! segment last night, but the headline at the video alone indicates how Amy Goodman and crew ignored Barrett Brown's threats against FBI Agent Robert Smith.

You gotta love it, "Jailed for Sharing a Web Link? Prosecution of Barrett Brown Could Set Chilling Precedent."



And here's the title of the entire 20-minute segment, "Jailed Reporter Barrett Brown Faces 105 Years For Reporting on Hacked Private Intelligence Firms," available here and here.

And these people consider themselves real journalists? Shoot, they're almost right up there with KTVU San Francisco.

Seriously, Robert Stacy McCain did the key reporting on Barrett Brown's epic personal self-destruction. See, "‘Anonymous’ Spokesman Barrett Brown Arrested After Bizarre Video Meltdown," and "‘The Kook Who Knew Too Much’: Heroic Fantasy, Paranoia and Barrett Brown." Check the "Barrett Brown" search results as well. The FBI came down hard on him at precisely the time he posted a YouTube video making threats against Agent Smith. It's a little more complicated than "sharing a web link," no?

The fact is, the left's "reality-based community" lives in an un-reality make-believe world of fantasy and lies. The extreme romanticism surrounding the NSA surveillance scandal only explains part of this. Simply, anything that fits the leftist narrative will be pumped up unceasingly, with no corroboration of the facts. Confirmed low-level hacker and all-around idiot ass-wipe Barrett Brown gets pumped up there along with the likes of Daniel Ellsberg for really bringing it to the man! 

The lulz. Stop. They hurt.

Girls as Young as 13 Get Free 'Plan B' Contraceptives in New York City Schools

Actually, this isn't a new story.

Fox News reported on this last September, "NYC schools to dispense morning-after pill without notifying parents."

What's new is that this made the front-page of today's New York Times, "Ready Access to Plan B Pills in City Schools":

She was only 16, with big dreams — too young, she thought, to have a baby. Yet she had had sex without protection, and she could see those dreams evaporating. Terrified, she found her way to the basement of her school, Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, where the nurse’s office was tucked away.

First the nurse weighed her and checked her blood pressure. Then she relayed the information to a doctor and made sure it was all right to give the girl Plan B One-Step, the morning-after pill. The nurse checked to see if the girl’s parents had returned the opt-out form that was supposed to have gone home at the beginning of the year. They had not, so she was free to take the pill.

Taking a pill out of a locked cabinet, the nurse handed it over with a cup of water and waited for her to swallow it, the girl recalled. After that first time, the girl took Plan B at school two or three more times. She said her mother had not signed the opt-out form, because she had wanted to have sex and so had never given it to her. “My mom, she doesn’t even know they have this stuff,” the girl, a junior from Coney Island, said.

Last month, the Obama administration seemingly changed the landscape of access to emergency contraception across the country when, in a reversal, it agreed to allow the best-known pill, Plan B One-Step, to become available to all ages without a prescription. Until recently, only those 17 and older could buy it over the counter.

But New York City had long ago come to an accommodation with the idea that girls as young as 13 or 14 should have easy access to the pill.

Through a patchwork of nurses’ offices and independent clinics operating in schools, students can now get free emergency contraceptives like Plan B One-Step in more than 50 high school buildings, generally in neighborhoods with high teenage pregnancy rates. Girls needing the drug have been able to get it immediately under the supervision of doctors or nurse practitioners with prescribing ability. School clinics began dispensing the pills several years ago, and in the 2011-12 academic year alone, about 5,500 girls received them at school at least once, according to the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

“Most teens go to school,” Deborah Kaplan, the department’s assistant commissioner for maternal, infant and reproductive health, said, explaining the city’s decision to make Plan B available in schools, as part of a bigger sex education campaign.

New York is not the only city to take Plan B right to teenagers; similar school-based health centers either prescribe or administer the contraceptives in Baltimore; Chicago; Oakland, Calif.; and all over Colorado, among other places. But New York’s ambitious push on Plan B is striking in light of its history with contraceptives in schools. Two decades ago, a decision to distribute condoms in schools without parental consent was one of several controversial moves that ultimately cost Schools Chancellor Joseph P. Fernandez his job.

Now, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has power over schools, and his administration can make such decisions without public debate. Even today, however, providing Plan B to minors remains a sensitive issue. In the 13 schools where the contraceptives are handed out by a school nurse after phone consultation with a doctor, parents must be notified of the program and given a chance to opt out, a provision that originated with a court ruling related to the condom protests in the early 1990s. (In 40 schools where an independent provider, which is typically a hospital or local health clinic, provides the pills, no parental consent is required.)

Across the United States, half of all school-based health clinics are prohibited from handing out any contraception, including condoms, by school, district or state regulations or laws, according to a survey by the School-Based Health Alliance, based in Washington.

Critics of the use of the pill have argued that it encourages sexual activity among teenagers and that parents ought to thus have a strong say in whether their children should have access to it. “Teens who are otherwise going to think twice about sex are going to say, ‘This is always going to be available to me,’ ” said Anna Higgins, director of the Center for Human Dignity of the Family Research Council.

“The moral and physical consequences to this premature sexual behavior are very real,” Ms. Higgins added, “and they need to be addressed by the person who knows the child and who loves the child best, which is the parent.”

Only 3 percent of parents in the 13 schools sign the opt-out form, according to the health department. Dr. Angela Diaz, director of the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center, which runs clinics in three Manhattan high schools (where opt-out forms are not needed), said some parents tacitly condoned the program because it was so hard to talk to their children about sex.

“They wish that their kids would talk to them, but given the reality, they’re happy there is a place where they can be helped,” Dr. Diaz said.

That's basically just giving up your children to the state. The parents are giving up responsibility for their child's well-being to the schools, who don't care about the values or propriety of 13-year-old children having sexual intercourse. And of course, no doubt many young girls simply become pregnant, and thus you have children having children.

The regressive left loves all of this, of course. Indeed, access to all the sex enablers are part and parcel to the left's social justice program. You build generations of Democrats dependent on government. Who cares if you destroy untold numbers of lives in the process?

Sickening.

Pathological Liar Rachel Maddow Slurs GOP as Party of 'Aggrieved White People'

A little late to this party, but I listened to this entire segment and it's a hoot.

And don't miss Jeff Goldstein, "BREAKING: Progressives call for immediate ouster of radio host Levin after he calls Democrats “the party of aggrieved Black and Hispanic people”."

It’s time to make the left pay by taking aggressive counteractions against their casual antifoundationalism — the very thing that allows them to condemn us while forgiving themselves under the totalitarian rationalization that the ends justify the minds, the high-mindedness of their agenda permitting the implementation of certain devious and unethical behavior so long as the Greater Good, as they determine it, is met.

We used to call this self-serving, cynical, self-righteous bullshit. Time to dust the idea back off and, well, pin that tail to the squealing donkeys.

Once Banned, Full-Nude Body Artist Paints in New York City, Even With Kids in Attendance

You can see the children checking it out. Small children.

If it was my 11-year-old I wouldn't care. It'd be a learning experience. But what about a 5-year-old? It's natural, right?

At the New York Post, "Body artist paints on nude models in broad daylight in Times Square."

The peep show has come back to Times Square.

Provocative public body painter Andy Golub — who was tossed in 2011 for using nude models as his canvas — plied his craft again yesterday, this time with the city’s blessing.

“I’m a strong advocate of public art,” the Nyack painter said as he set up shop with two naked subjects on West 46th Street and Broadway, right in front of the busy American Eagle Outfitters flagship store, at around noon.

“No real law is being broken,” Golub said, adding that he’s “really glad” the city lifted a moratorium that allowed him to pursue his passion in public only after dusk.

“It’s not really about winning a battle on legality. It’s [about] the opportunity to use public streets. I try not to get too political. The art is the message,” Golub said.

DARPA's 'Atlas' Robot

At the Verge, "DARPA unveils 6-foot-tall humanoid robot Atlas for researchers to program and pilot."

It's not quite Terminator, but it's not that far off either: Check out Atlas, a new, 6-foot, 2-inch-tall humanoid robot designed for a contest being held by US Defense Department. The 290-pounds machine is being called "one of the most advanced humanoid robots ever built," in no small part due to its 28 different hydraulic joints and freakishly good balance. Unveiled publicly for the first time earlier this week, it's the latest robot from Boston Dynamics, the company behind such internet robotic sensations as Petman (a robotic man) and AlphaDog (a robotic dog), both designed for the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). But unlike those previous robots, which were restricted to military and company usage, the keys to Atlas will be turned over to a few lucky civilians, so that they can program and pilot it using their own software.

Lydia Loveless and the Machine

An interview at Interview:

Lydia Loveless is a spitfire. Since moving with her family from the farm in Coshocton, Ohio where she grew up, to the big city of Columbus, Ohio at 14 years old, Loveless has been on a path to spread her particular brand of country-punk music to the masses. Song has always been in her blood. Her father, a pastor, drummer, and later bar owner, surrounded Loveless with the sounds of New Wave artists like Devo and Talking Heads during her formative years. Upon moving to the big city, Loveless played in a band called Carson Drew with her father and siblings, and immersed herself in both punk and country music. She released her first album, The Only Man, in 2010, and its follow-up, the excellent Indestructible Machine a year later.

Indestructible Machine finds Loveless mixing traditional country themes of loving, leaving, and, of course, drink, with a visceral punk-rock energy; live, she comes off as something like Hank Williams crossed with Kathleen Hanna. Currently 22, Loveless is preparing an EP of new songs for the fall, with a new album to follow in spring 2014. We chatted with her in anticipation of her show at Hill Country in New York City tomorrow night...
