DECREASING VIOLENCE
The number of law enforcement officers killed by firearms decreased 33% from 2012 to 2013, to the lowest level since record keeping began in 1887.
DECREASING TEMPERATURES, INCREASING SNOWFALL
In January 2014, climatedepot.com said “Latest storm likely to make the 2010s the snowiest decade in the east in the NOAA record”.
The article goes on to say “It was quite a storm. I have never seen Logan Airport report heavy snow with an air temperature of 1F (not wind chill) before. The ended up with 15.1 inches. Boxford had 23.8 inches.”
I have to beg the reader to recall that 2013 is, to this moment, claimed with a straight face to have been the fourth hottest in all history, and 2014 as the hottest year in all history.
The article continues: “Even as more cold and snow invades the central, near the east coast, the post storm blues have set in with the inevitability of an inside runner following rapidly on its heels. But snow loving friends, we have lived through quite a decade and the millennium so far has been a boon to snow lovers despite the continuing claims that snows are becoming rare and hurting winter sports as erroneously reported last week in Boston Magazine.”
As you can see, directly in the face of record cold and record snow, the media is steadfastly claiming record heat and no snow.
The article concludes “This week’s storm was at least as impactful and covered a wide stretch back to the Midwest. If it joins the NESIS list, it will be storm 49 and make the 2010s the snowiest decade for the east coast in the record, surpassing the 1960s.”
If increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere is causing an increase in temperatures, as claimed, how can the second-snowiest decade in history be the sixties, and the snowiest decade in history be the 2010’s, going forward in time to an even more carbon-dense atmosphere?
To preserve current programming levels, stop reading immediately, breathe through your mouth, narrow your eyes and bitterly affirm “yeah, but that was then”.
INCREASING RECOGNITION OF SHAM DEMOCRACY
In January 2014, I wrote “In the following article you’ll see how the populace is awakening to the fact that two wholly-controlled-and-coopted political parties are used to create the illusion that Democracy is practiced, here. It’s been clear to me since I was a kid that the people in charge, regardless of their political affiliations, do not have the best interests of the people at heart, as they profess, so I"m cheered to see an ever-growing number of people coming to the same realization. Because once we realize that an unwholesome parasite infests us, we can take the steps to get healthy and eliminate it. See: ‘going out of town on a rail’, previous. I guess baby-kissing and natty suits are enough to put many off the scent…or have been, until now.
The fact that an amazingly low percentage of Americans vote is often used to denigrate said Americans, when in fact it’s another marker that people are unsubscribing from a system in which they are being presented a choice between two State-mandated shills. Shill: “an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others.”
The us-versus-them polarization technique has been used with great success for a very long time. If you click the link to the article, you’ll see an amount of smoke, spin and sophistry dedicated to supporting that charade that is, to me, remarkable. But I’ve removed it, here, leaving only the un-spun moving parts.
Rejoice - humanity is waking up, waking up, and won’t be going back to sleep again.”
In January 2014, gallup.com said “Record-High 42% of Americans Identify as Independents”.
Forty-two percent of Americans, on average, identified as political independents in 2013, the highest Gallup has measured since it began conducting interviews by telephone 25 years ago. Meanwhile, Republican identification fell to 25%, the lowest over that time span. At 31%, Democratic identification is unchanged from the last four years but down from 36% in 2008.
Republican identification peaked at 34% in 2004. Since then, it has fallen nine percentage points. Democratic identification has also declined in recent years, falling five points from its recent high of 36% in 2008, the year President Barack Obama was elected. The current 31% of Americans identifying as Democrats matches the lowest annual average in the last 25 years.
Fourth Quarter Surge in Independence
The percentage of Americans identifying as independents grew over the course of 2013, surging to 46% in the fourth quarter. That coincided with the partial government shutdown in October and the problematic rollout of major provisions of the healthcare law, commonly known as “Obamacare.”
Americans are increasingly declaring independence from the political parties. The general trend in recent years, including the 2012 election year, has been toward greater percentages of Americans identifying with neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party.
The rise in political independence is likely an outgrowth of Americans’ record or near-record negative views of the two major U.S. parties, of Congress, and their low level of trust in government more generally.
