Yesterday, I fell for a Twitter parody. A few hours later, the Washington Post actually did what the parody proposed. http://t.co/RzRqDfQMR4

There's so much cointelpro traffic on the twittersphere from spook orgs directing/monitoring public reactions that you really can't believe any "insider" news you get from social media - it's a public tool lost to manufactured truth.

Moral of the story:
If a perp has some bad shit in mind a small female officer is easier to get around than a large officer. At one time wern't officers hired according to their size and ability to handle a bad dude?

Wouldn't it be terrible if the first Affirmative Action President was left undefended because of an incompetent Affirmative Action Secret Service agent?

In Toronto, back in the 80s, I was to meet a modern young woman in a fern bar. Let’s call her “M”.

When I arrived, she was with two cops and describing a man who had stolen her purse. I listened while the cops made notes then prepared to leave. Something was missing so I asked “Was he white, black … what?”

M looked genuinely baffled. “What difference does that make?” she asked.
One of the cops rolled his eyes, muttered “Jesus Christ!” and said “I’ll be right back.” Twenty minutes later he was, with her purse – including credit cards, cash and all.

I walked out with the cops and, when we were on the sidewalk, the eye-roller said something like “As soon as she answered your question, I knew who it was. Thanks for asking. I’m, um, reluctant to do that these days. So if victims don’t mention race, I assume we’re looking for a white person.”

I imagine things are thirty years worse.

How does that quote go :

"If you don't read the papers, you're uninformed.
If you DO read them... you're misinformed."

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
