Censored Kentucky Jounalist Fights Back, Dialectic is NOT Profanity!!!

Freedom of Speech in Kentucky, America too!

Sent: Thursday, 25 August 2011, 22:37
Subject: Censored Kentucky journalist fights back

Got this last week from CM Kay's assistant, Leah Boggs. For reasons that will become apparent, I've followed it with a quick response:

“I think I have finally gotten to the bottom of the mystery.  Your emails were being blocked by the filter at the Government Center because of the profanity in the quote on the bottom of your email.  Therefore, if you delete or amend the quote so that it doesn’t include profanity, we should be able to receive your emails without any problem.”

 For the record, here's my quote that disallowed me contacting my city council...without ever informing me that my emails were being blocked:

 

"I’m an optimist in my heart but a pessimist in my head. I think that’s the dialectic we all need to be in. We don’t know what the future is, so it’s silly to be an optimist naively or a pessimist cynically. We don’t know, so we should all get the fuck busy."

Bill Ayers

 Miss Boggs:

Many thanks for your response. First of all, dialectic is not a profanity. Second, though you did not address it, surely you find some humor in the fact that a quote used in my email calling for citizens to be engaged and active in their communities...is the very thing that has disallowed my civic engagement with members of city council. (Sigh...only in Lexington Kentucky....)

Since I'm not interested in having to change what is a powerful quotation at the bottom of every one of the thousands of emails I send just so that the six emails I send to city hall can get through, I'd like you to clarify some things for me. I would send this to your email, but the questions themselves might entail language that would necessitate deletion of my correspondence, so Facebook it is. As a public service, I will post your responses on this non-blocked Facebook page:

(1) Can you clarify for me who uses this filter in city government? I recall several other correspondences with city officials, using this same profane email tag, and have had no problems. This is important as I am a citizen and would like free communication between those who represent me or work in public office, irrespective of the word choices each of us make. I'd like to know what groups affiliated with the city do not communicate with me on the basis of a single word located at the bottom of an email tag-line.

(2) On the same grounds, can you clarify for me what constitutes "profanity." In other words, can I have the list of banned words used by the filter. I write on rivers and occasionally on religion. Does this mean that I cannot use the words hell, dam or dyke? Is gay profane and grounds for deletion? I find the odious use of "district," as in "Arena" or "Bourbon" or "Distillery" districts quite a load of offensive bullshit. Do these apply? How about "creative," used in the context of "creative class" to really fuck a lot of groups over? For that matter, if I'm describing energetic sex, can I just say "fucking" to convey better accuracy, or should I continue (when contacting council and other city agencies) using the more verbose "vigorous sex." What about WTF? OMFG? How about mild profanities, "zowie" and "bloody" and "jerk" (as an adjective, not verb). Also, if I am quoting someone (as I do in my email and as I do quite regularly as a journalist), should I not quote them accurately when communicating with council? I'd like to know as, by your admission, not knowing what's on this profanity list and how it's used has resulted in (at least) 7 email queries covering several months getting ignored by a sitting council member.

(3) Do you personally find my email quotation profane such that it warranted said deletion of emails? In other words, does the problem lie with my email tag or with the city's flawed filter system? In your estimation, is "getting the fuck busy" a sentiment that should be filtered by city government?

(4) As a follow-up, you state that my email message must be changed for me to contact CM Kay or anyone else in council. Doesn't it stand to reason that the dipshits who created the filter should be the ones needing to alter their actions, and not the other way around?

Thanks for your time. I'll await an email at my profane gmail address and will be sure to post your responses to our Facebook page.

British brains, brawn and bombs bolster Libyran rebels

Thank God for RT !!

What would the free world do without them?

NATO reissuing and renewing the "mandate" is up now.  That is what it is all about.  The planet in perpetual war, it was George Orwell who said it first. The last sentence, about KIA MI6 trainers and Brit and Yank commandos found dead on the streets of Tripoli. It is like the Black American GI found dead with his US passport up in South Osseetia back in August 9th, 2008. Seeems something is brewing again there too!

I pray and hope when FEMA commandos suppress Americans in USA when the shit hits the fan, we have an equally good leader as the proud Libyans have in their Colonel.

Hugo Chavez is a Colonel also, did you know that?  Chavez comes from a military dynasty of colonels, going back a hundred years in Venezuelan history, like John McCain.  He was not even a leftist early in his career.  He had to manage the estates of his well propertied family back then.

British brains, brawn and bombs bolster Libyan rebels

Britain’s MI6 officers have been engaged in drilling Libyan rebels, helping them to establish a proper military plan for an assault on the capitol Tripoli.

­On Tuesday, British newspapers revealed that the UK not only detached spies and former SAS gurus to train militants, but was also providing them with ammunition for the operation, including night-vision goggles, advanced communication equipment and no less than 1,000 sets of body armor.

The Telegraph published an article about MI6 consultants working in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi “for weeks”, culminating in the raid on the Libyan capital.

Needless to say, the technical military capabilities of the British air force were supposed to take the most active part in these plans, which they actually did on Saturday night, bombing out four Libyan communications centers and destroying artillery positions and tanks on the streets of the Libyan capital.

But even British warfare professionals were surprised at the speed with which the rebel forces were advancing deep into Colonel Gaddafi’s defenses, only to find out later they have been lured into a trap.

The rebels had actually smuggled guns and ammunition, as well as fighters, into Tripoli beforehand, so when the hour came they just rolled through the streets in increasing numbers and met practically no resistance at all.

The rebels hoped their advance would spark an uprising in the capital, but the actual number of citizens who chose to join premature democratic celebrations on Green Square was considerably moderate in comparison with the thousands who preferred to stand by the country’s leader in the governmental district of Bab al-Aziziya armed with the handguns distributed among the locals earlier.

During all that time, Royal Air Force Tornadoes and Typhoons continued to bomb governmental objects inside the Libyan capital, including Muammar Gaddafi’s bunker in Bab al-Aziziya and other buildings that the loyalist troops could use to their benefit, including schools – empty due to summertime – and the RAF still continues to do so, now focusing on the central part of the city. On Sunday alone the fighter jets made 46 attacks on various objects

The assault on the Libyan capital has been nurtured, orchestrated and co-ordinated by former and serving British intelligent officers. Questions now emerge as to how many of them have been KIA on the streets of Tripoli and if Gaddafi’s troops will be capable to present living proof of the UK plotting a military coup in a sovereign state.

Akhalgori Region, South Ossetia, August 26, 2011

March of Peace or War Path:  "March of Peace" in Akhalgori Region, South Ossetia, August 26, 2011
I am starting to collect information and investigate the latest game being planned; something might happen in Georgia soon, August 26, 2011
On the 26th of August another massive attempt of crossing the Ossetian-Georgian border will be made by s "refugees/IDPS" who had to flee South Ossetia during the Georgian attack of August 2008.The action is especially designed by Georgian Special Services and their foreign backers to make the South Ossetian side  use violent force; there might even be bloodshed and even loss of life. There is method in madness, and the intention is to make sure that the event is widely covered by Georgian and Western media outlets, and the blame put on the South Ossetians and their Russian backers; it will even be presented as [they] provoked the violent incident in the first place.
It is expected that at least 100 to 200 "Georgian Only"  IDPs  from the border region of Ossetia-Georgia, on August 26, 2011, which is being organized and manipulated by Saaki police types, together with think tank types, such as Potomac Institute, and others. However, this action will not involve vast majority of other refugees/IDPS from the ill-conceived and conducted Russian-Georgian-South Ossetian conflict in Aug. 2008, of which there were many besides just ethnic Georgians who suffered.
Those involved in this latest appear not to be mainstream IDPS, like those being forced out of Tbilisi and other collective centers but those who are most prone to being forced to follow the orders of the Georgian regime. However, it is questionable as how much, if any, western media attention will result.  Hardly any Russian coverage either.  Just tons of spin and PR, as usual from Tbilisi government controlled TV stations, which can go on non-stop for months – like beating a dead horse.
Another source writes
‎...about Refugees/IDPs in GeorgiaRefugees regularly organize protests in Tbilisi and other cities but the government absolutely IGNORES their problems. But when refugees move to decisive action and return to their native land without the government’s aid, they are accused of treachery. For instance, in 2007 Nino Burjanadze, the then Georgian parliament speaker, sharply criticized the refugees who had ...returned to the Gali district in Abkhazia and called them pseudo-patriots and traitors. First the authorities exploited them to receive the international aid and then they accused refugees of all deadly sins. We have very “caring” government! Nothing to say!
In addition to outright mockery of refugees the Georgian authorities often use them in PROVOCATIONS. For example, on 26th of August, 2010 hundreds of refugees tried unsuccessfully to cross the border into South Ossetia in the Akhalgori region of South Ossetia. "March of Peace" – as planned by the Georgian special services, finished no results; it was a planned PR-action-oriented, primarily towards the West but a failure in the end.
On the 26th August 2011 another massive attempt of crossing the Ossetian-Georgian border will be made by "refugees/IDPs" who had left South Ossetia during the Georgian aggression of August 2008.The action is designed to ensure that the South Ossetian side to use force. It is expected by planner that the provocation will be widely covered by the Georgian and Western media, and the responsibility for possible consequences of its plan will be entrusted on the government of South Ossetia.
This large-scale provocation with refugees in Georgia will tell the world once again that Georgian government does everything possible to return the refugees to their homeland, and the authorities of Abkhazia and South Ossetia OSTENSIBLY prevent this.
Thus, demonstrating to the world community desire to solve the refugee problem, the current Georgian government uses them as a TOOL in a DIRTY political GAME. The most awful thing in this situation, not even the fact that nobody cares about the refugee problem (the events related to their evictions from temporary housing is the best example). But the fact that Georgian authorities organizing such provocations know that there will be HUMAN LOSSES this time….

May 26, March of Peace to South Ossetia

Come and Celebrate May 26, March of Peace to South Ossetia

Re: lots of non Georgian Ossetians lost their homes too, and nobody gave them a free Potemkin Village to live in

Have you heard that Georgian special services prepare the provocation on the 26 of August? Hundreds of IDPs as a result of the 2008 Georgian-Russian war will try to cross South Ossetian border in Akalgori district. Governmental minders call it "March of Peace"... I'm sure there will be human losses, cause South Ossetian side won't let them do it - or someone will fire the first shop.

Commentary:

 It is possible to even open up some shops out there among the soon to be emptied match boxes along side the main road going West from Tbilisi; and even better to turn loose market forces, and maybe make these bedroom communitiues into the newest elite shopping district in all Georgia, because even a lazy untrained US dude trying his hand at business, would be light years better than a Georgian MBA.  I know at least one journalist who could open a camera shop,  another a sex doll shop, I could a clothing shop, etc.  I know another dude who wants to open a travel agency with weekend sex holidays to Scandanavia, and he promises you a travel visa, wink wink wink, and we could make late night TV ads in person, bragging on ourselves and our products.  Everyone would know us, so the Georgian Mafia could not close down our successful operations, and even the World Bank and everybody says that Georgia is open for business.

It is hard to find much of anything and this, aside from inside information, human intel - and it is Georgian IDPs that want to cross into South Ossetia, and in mass, this is intended to bring about an incident - as Palestinians wanting to cross over and reclaim Israel proper. It would not surprise that his Nazi Youth Corps will not be involved - or some prison youth doing time in the big house are let out for a day trip; they would provide some cannon fodder, and stir the pot; as guy cannot live without limelight - his ego.

Ron Paul tells it like it is! Squeaky Clean too!

Ron Paul for President

<http://www.usnews.com/polls/who-is-your-pick-for-the-2012-gop-presidential-nomination/results.html>

You know who "other" is... Ron Paul. So far ahead they daren't even put him on their poll. Check the comments and share the disbelief.

On the following poll he is shown as "None of these"... he hot about 56% of the votes.

Click to vote and you'll see he got about 76% of the votes.

Are the corporate-owned media that terrified of him?

He came across rather well on Fox News...

P.S. Did you see the guillotine in Tel Aviv?

Riots in London, huge protests in Israel, and now riots in China. When will the American majority wake up and realise that they're not going to get wealthy again in their lifetime? Those are the coming riots that they're really worried about, why they've already set up the FEMA camps, why they try so hard to keep people from hearing about Ron Paul and what he has to say. They daren't let him in - he actually has a plan to get America out of this mess but it's a long and painful road, particularly if you're a rich corporate whore. He wants to cancel $1.6t of debt and abolish the Fed. What are they going to do - he has a squeaky clean voting record and no skeletons in the closet they can drag out and use against him. Kill him?

WTO, False Flag, Kroll and Company, will the truth ever come out?

The end game nears!!
In REF:Who was the head of security for WT Towers, Kroll or something like that?
Kroll was the name of the Israeli company ho bought out the company which said that they had managed to recover a lot of data from the hard drives which were salvaged from the WTC. Nothing was ever heard about this process again. It appears to have to do with some high level money laundering and involving defense contractors, and future plans for operations in Iran, most likely joint US-Israeli.

Who was the head of security for WT Towers, Kroll or something like that?
Date: Friday, 22 July, 2011, 18:48
Did he not end up dead too, as part of the possible cover up?

This might be useful, as to what they were digging out of the computers with links to money laundering operations in Georgia, and possible connections between TBC Bank and the Bank of Georgia.

Two deep foxholes, and with a little investigative digging, will find Shangrala.

I think it is not too hard to connect what is going on in Georgia; it is also hard for me to get a full grasp of the story, too many side plots. Basically BP has used its security network for training facilities and logistical support, and this relates to command and control facilities set up in Georgia. Part of the operation is set up directly in the Georgian parliament. As you know I have already been digging into the weapons aspects and that is now public information – these are coming out of Israel and Jordan, and many manufactured in former East Bloc countries and Ukraine.

Basically, BP and CIA (which is MI6 and CIA) have a command center in the Georgian parliament. I think this
 Too much was involved in making sure that all the world turned a blind eye to the events of November 7, 2007 beating of protestors and calling for early elections, which Saakashvili could win with a bit of fraud, and all that was done and not for the sake of supporting Saakashvili but to keep the game plan on track. That explains the rush for snap presidential elections in January, and making sure that this reform-minded government stayed in power, and no matter how many heads they have to crack, at least until the game gets started and well underway (and there is no going back). History repeated itself on May 26, 2011.
 One of your people, Bruce George, MP and connected with all the big game player has a big role to play in all of this.  George Orwell, after all, was writing about Georgia, Land of Kartuli and Colchis, and is now that reality is becoming readily apparent. 
 I guess my muckraking will sooner or later put me will put me in highly respectable standing with the blossoming security network apparatus [below].  Strange, how the new CIA ties are all woven together with the old Commie Russian and Georgian mafia connections.  Grandly and irrevocably supported by our Armed Services forces, for double bonding (US and UK)
Questions:
1) Why is Bruce George so interested in Georgia? Now frame that with drum beat for NATO membership, missile systems in Poland and the regional never-ending game (and all the recent rhetoric by the likes of what the State Department is saying these days.
2) Why democratic nations turned a blind eye to blatant human rights violations in Georgia and signed off on free and fair elections before complaints were even heard and the vote counted.
Alex (anti-Russian - was drunk with someone who was listening and speaks English. The dots are starting to come together. He has been a drinking Buddy with Bruce George and a big guy who used to sell nuclear materials to Iran.

ALEKO, the British Council, and the IABP inside parliament.

I'm trying hard now to figure out why Alex who hates communists so much and who loves Tories and U.S. republicans [GW is his hero], how the same guy could claim as his "best friend" a heavy commie industrialist from Moscow, just as soon as he arrives ??

Here is the big buddy to XXXXXXX, who is also really connected to the fat man in the picture.
As one of my sources wrote me about how he is being pushed out of the government - on the surface to help improve relations with Russian but in reality - he has a bigger role to play. "yeah yeah yeah.  your friend the bird is witty.  XXX was a carryover from other administrations, pushing 49, and kept like a bookend by Misha.  But his anti-communism is genuine and sincere.  He truly hates them and he has no big bank account from the Moscow or USAID goodies.  He drives a simple car; German made ten years old, and pays most of his "middle class" savings on his two boys education and development.  I would swear to it under oath."
 While though I hate his politics and the way he kissed ass for Misha and hung onto every word of Bruce George, the guy has a good heart and tries to be ethical. He must feel like shit now if this is true.  Maybe his pal Bendukidze will tighten his belt and give him a spot [better than MP?]"
 Here is what he knows from before, however, xxxx is close to Bush and has been a wealth of information by informal means (even knowing about him attending the prayer meetings of the HEAD OF THE GOP ) "Grand Old Party" and the free word. We must remember that Bush talks to God.
 He is also a drinking buddy with now a member of the inner circle of president-elect Saakashvili, Kakha Bendukidze, who was recruited by the Georgian authorities from Russia, where he ran the Russia’s largest heavy engineering corporation, which has vigorously pushed for these privatization policies since the very first day of his arrival in Georgia (also was selling mostly to Iran when he was in Russia), and that is related to a power plant that is being constructed at the outrage of the peace loving West. 
 Kakha Bendukidze has been a key player in flogging off lots of state property, including strategic assets. Most of this money was earmarked for the military, and it is as if privatization has been used not for poverty reduction but to support US foreign policy and buy weapons, business is booming.
Kakha Bendukidze, who once was described by the New York Times as “a large man with a big agenda,” has been transferred from position of Economy Minister to the position of State Minister in order to oversee all economic reforms. Here is one of the covers for what is going-on - not to mention the old standby of Embassies, OSCE as well as the various Chamber of Commerce; the Business and Economic Centre (the BEC), funded by BP and administered by the International Association of Business and Parliament (IABP) has been established within the framework of the project “Strengthening Legislature for the transparent and Effective Economic Governance in Georgia”.
The main mission of the BEC is to provide neutral and objective information on subjects relating to the economy and business for the Members of the Georgian Parliament. All products and services implemented by the BEC create an additional opportunity for MPs to gain more information and knowledge in the fields covered by the BEC. The BEC is committed to an active partnership and cooperation with various national and international organizations, associations and companies. Such an extensive network provides opportunities for better and more efficient information support.
On the 13th of February 2007, the opening ceremony was held to launch the Business and Economic Centre in the Parliament of Georgia. The BEC was introduced to the Georgian Executive and Legislature, Diplomatic missions, International organization/

 Mr. Bruce George addressing SBI nextdoor to NED building:
 I could add to the list Control Risks Group, Armor Holdings, Decisions Strategies, Fairfax International, Investigative Group International, Bishop International, Pinkerton, Hakluyt, KROLL, and Smith Brandon International.
 They are big businesses, both domestically and internationally. The strong pressure on merger and acquisitions in the UK and the country's leading role in banking have encouraged the creation of sophisticated investigations companies that have not really emerged in any other European country. The value of the industry to the UK economy is probably between §×100 million and §×200 million per annum and depends largely on the confidence placed in it by corporate clients in the discreet management of investigations.
 I do not speak from any direct experience, although I recall visiting several legal firms that brought together investigators of all types to pursue, successfully, those who had evaded police detection after the Brinks Mat robbery. There was a celebration party of 250 people, which shows how the private sector is engaged in the investigation of corporate affairs almost as much as is the Serious Fraud Office. Frankly, the private sector can often do it better than the police, because it has access to highly qualified people, more numerate lawyers and better business specialists¡ªI mean no disrespect to the police force.
