[Updated] Santa Cruz "IndyBay": No need for truth when you have an agenda

Sun, 19 May 2013 10:34 GMT

Update: Note that my redacted post has been returned to the comments @ Santa Cruz IndyBay. The provoking comment however, has not re-appeared. I do not recall that it was trolling in any significant way. If it WAS the commenter left themselves wide open for a rational response and I still feel my work was left without context:

I just spent quite a few minutes responding to a question at IndyBay Santa Cruz regarding the local property crime rate, just to find the rather pointed, but NOT OFF-TOPIC or rude comment gone, my response without context, and in the process a GRAVE DIS-SERVICE to understanding the issues at hand regarding the allegations of “Hysteria” in this community about public safety has been done.

The so-called “Moderators” at IndyBay Santa Cruz constrained the ability of people who can respond to those legitimate if loaded questions when they remove comments.

I’d like the moderator at Santa Cruz IndyBay to write one coherent sentence explaining their reason for causing me to waste my time, but they never respond, except by removing the request for response. I suspect they’re either illiterate, or ignorant.

The post I was responding to WASN’T troll bait.

It WASN’T Off-topic.

There IS a reasonable response that WOULD educate the community.

So what WAS the problem with the post I was responding to?

It wasn’t on their agenda.

I wrote, in response to the “rather pointed but NOT OFF-TOPIC or rude comment” questioning why Santa Cruz California has an allegely “soaring” “Property Crime” rate:

Because property crime IS ALWAYS HIGHER in areas where the AFFLUENCE IS HIGHER.

Want to fix that? Get the jackasses called county supervisors and city council(ors) crackin’ on PLANNING for a NORMAL COMMUNITY with a broad spectrum of incomes, housing and jobs affordable to the people who actually live here… ESPECIALLY the kids.

After all, they’re the ones who commit most of the property crimes that spike the charts, like shoplifting, burglary and theft.

Further, on that “Housing Thing”, the latest housing development downtown, “Walnut Commons” has been advertised as cohousing for middle class families… You know. Central kitchen an all that communal type stuff delayed-gratification yuppies like to talk about but never actually live.

What middle class family with kids would actually live in that situation?

None.

The project is based on a LIE like all other housing developments purported to be for local people around here (The old ice plant… the slum behind the town clock etc), it gets turned into transient office worker or college student housing because all the workers here couch surf or live with eight other people to make the rent and still have money for food and transportation.

However it will be VERY attractive to people from out of state on contract to Deloitte Touche or somesuch who will rent the CruzIo cubies and have (I can see the ad in the back of the NY Times Sunday magazine now) ‘housing footsteps away from where you work just minutes from Sea and Trees’.

How about a deal like THAT for New Leaf’s baggers, CVS shelf stockers, and other SERIOUSLY UNDERPAID in relation to cost-of-living local workers?

But Nooooo. So you end up with a gentrified affluent ‘community’ with an allegedly soaring property crime rate, and the truth of the matter is the property crime rate has always been astronomical around here but until quite recently there weren’t freakzoids like TBSC reporting every rock kicked on their lawn, nor 1st Alarm guards who are a generators of mostly marginal-from-a-legal-perspective or bogus reports that, in the process, ensure their continued $15.00 an hour employment.

It simply make the problem worse draining $80,000 dollars a year from the city treasury for EACH PATROL (and aside from multiple ‘guards’ downtown, EVERY PARK IN SANTA CRUZ has a ‘watchman’ now) while everyone else suffers from that diversion of funds that could be put to much better uses as housing and job development funding.

So stop whining and enjoy your police state. I’m SURE that’s the option you chose so STFU.

Anonymous launches Operation Guantanamo:
#OpGTMO engaged in support of the hunger strikers!

On Friday, May 17, the international hacktivist collective known as Anonymous, joined by Code Pink and other political action groups from the U.S. and the U.K., launched Operation Guantanamo to mark the 100th day of a hunger strike within the Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

The three day campaign of global action is intended to raise awareness of the human rights violations currently going on at Guantanamo Bay prison camp via social media and on the ground protests. Alleged violations at Guantanamo include the indefinite detention of prisoners, many (ed. Not ‘many’, ALL. There ARE NO POWs or ‘Terrorists’ there anymore -RR) of whom have been cleared for release years ago.

The following is an excerpt from a press release issued by Anonymous regarding Operation Guantanamo (#OpGTMO)…

US Forces Suspected of "Collateral Murder": Three mass graves with 1,000 corpses found near Fallujah Iraq

Sat, 18 May 2013 12:41 GMT

US Forces Suspected of "Collateral Murder": Three mass graves with 1,000 corpses found near Fallujah Iraq:

From the Arab media… Ahlul Bayt to be exact. The NPR of the Shia on radio and TV, believed to be funded solely by donations from listeners and viewers

Iraqi officials have found three mass graves containing the bodies of about 1,000 people thought to have been executed by US soldiers during their occupation of the country.

Meanwhile NPR, funded to a great extent by the US government says:

Workers excavate remains from a mass grave in the desert of western Anbar province in Iraq on April 14. The mass grave holds the remains of more than 800 people, believed to have been killed during the rule of ousted leader Saddam Hussein. (source)

You decide…

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The graves were uncovered in Iraq’s western province of al-Anbar. The remains are believed to be from victims killed by US forces during 2004 and 2005 in the city of Fallujah, located roughly 69 kilometers (43 miles) west of Baghdad.

“Security forces and rights groups found the three mass graves in Saqlawiyah and Ameriyah of Fallujah near a cemetery north of the city. They contain the remains of about a thousand people,” Deputy Chairman of Anbar’s provincial council, Sadoun Obaid al-Shaalan, said on Wednesday.

He also called on the Iraqi government to order DNA tests on the remains to ascertain the identity of the victims, especially since there are hundreds of families in Anbar - particularly Fallujah - who are trying to discover the fate of their lost children.

The first battle of Fallujah was an unsuccessful attempt by the US military to capture the city in April 2004.

Fighting broke out after four US mercenaries from Blackwater Company were killed, dismembered and hanged from a bridge over the Euphrates River.

On May 1, 2004, the US troops withdrew from Fallujah as Lieutenant General James Conway announced that he had unilaterally decided to turn over operations to the Fallujah Brigade — which composed of local militiamen under the command of former Ba’ath Party General Muhammed Latif.

Iraq accounts of the first battle of Fallujah put the number of injured or dead at more than 400.

The second battle of Fallujah was a joint American and British offensive in November and December 2004. The Iraqi narrative of the second battle puts the total number of dead and wounded at more than 5,000. (source)

What she’s learned in the last ten years.

“We learned that you can be floating on a sea of oil, but your people can be destitute. Your city can be an open sewer; your women and children can be eating out of trash dumps and begging for money in foreign lands.

We learned that justice does not prevail in this day and age. Innocent people are persecuted and executed daily. Some of them in courts, some of them in streets, and some of them in the private torture chambers.

We are learning that corruption is the way to go. You want a passport issued? Pay someone. You want a document ratified? Pay someone. You want someone dead? Pay someone.

We learned that it’s not that difficult to make billions disappear.

We are learning that those amenities we took for granted before 2003, you know- the luxuries – electricity, clean water from faucets, walkable streets, safe schools – those are for deserving populations.

Those are for people who don’t allow occupiers into their country.”

Fri, 17 May 2013 10:18 GMT

“Those stories don’t attract anywhere near the attention that murders receive. But I often think about them (drive-by shootings, robbery woundings, innocent bystanders catching a stray round, children witnessing shootings) when there’s a mass shooting somewhere like Newtown, Conn., or Aurora, Colo., or Oak Creek, Wis., towns previously relatively untouched by gun violence. These unspeakable bursts of evil shred lives, families and communities, and the nation rightfully fixates on their grief and healing.

But for every one of those victimized towns, there are dozens of American cities where, every year, many more people are shot than in any single gun rampage. In those places — Newark, or New Orleans, where around 20 people were wounded last weekend when a gunman opened fire on a Mother’s Day parade — there is no definable healing process, because the violence never really stops…”

“Wearing a hijab isn’t inherently liberating – but neither is baring one’s breasts. What is liberating is being able to choose either of these things. It’s pretty ludicrous to think that oppression is somehow proportional to how covered or uncovered someone’s body is. Both sides of this argument present a shallow understanding of women’s empowerment, which only drowns out the substantive challenges facing all women – issues that cannot be encapsulated in a debate about a piece of fabric.”

Dateline May 1 2013, Red Lodge (Billings) Montana, the “Ricin Right” is getting ready

(559 lbs of) Explosives stolen from USFS facility near Red Lodge

RED LODGE - The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office are asking for help from the public in gathering information about the theft of approximately 559 pounds of high explosives from a USFS explosives bunker located near Red Lodge.

A press release from the ATF says that in April 2013, someone used forced entry to get into an explosives storage facility owned and operated by the U. S. Forest Service, which is located about two miles south of Red Lodge.

Officials say that various emulsion-type explosives, explosive cast boosters and detonating cord were taken from the facility.

“The theft of explosives is a top investigative priority for ATF. We are asking for the public’s help in our effort to apprehend and convict those responsible. We are confident that someone can help identify a suspect and we encourage them to call us,” ATF spokesman Ken Bray said.

A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered…

DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Researchers have detected swine flu in elephant seals off the Central California coast, saying it was the first time a human pandemic strain has been found in marine mammals.

However, none of the animals showed clinical signs of the illness.

A University of California, Davis study found the seals contracted the H1N1 virus in 2010, as the pandemic caused by the virus was winding down in humans, the Contra Costa Times reported Wednesday.

The influenza virus commonly crosses species barriers, and it wasn’t the first time a marine mammal has been found to carry a human strain, UC Davis professor Tracey Goldstein told the newspaper. However, until now researchers had never found a human pandemic strain in marine mammals...
