Ping.............. to # 175
Thanks, Laz. This is very interesting indeed.
Here is the link provided by Laz. It’s an interesting read.
PS. don’t bother with the troll in #2.....ozone is the result!
Thanks for the link. It sounds a little like something I witnessed recently. I went to a couple of public meetings held to help BLM write their five-year plan for land in our area. They held a series of meetings in different locations to get public comment. I went to a couple of them.
The folks were divided into groups and asked a series of questions. All comments were gathered on large sheets of paper to be condensed later into a document. There were a few normal people there, with good comments. Those comments were a small number of the total, however.
I noticed that the mix of people was similar in every group, and at both of the meetings I attended. A few locals. Lots of environmental group members from out of town. Some BLM interns, and some BLM employees “in plain clothes” in each group acting as if they were ordinary group members.
The resultant comments were very similar group to group and at both meetings. My impression was that the BLM would be able to write up the report they wanted to write from the comments they had gathered. Nothing earth-shaking, nothing surprising, but they were able to control the process very easily. There were some folks there who were pro-rancher or pro-private enterprise and their concerns were written down too but they were lost in the crowd of other comments.
It was overall a very “nice” meeting, but very tightly controlled just the same while giving the impression of being very spontaneous. Had I not attended two meetings in two different areas I wouldn’t have noticed how controlled. (And my wife and I made it a point to be in separate groups and were able to compare notes). And overhearing some of the casual conversations is how I figured out who some of these people were.

Sorry, here is the link that I forgot to provide. You’ll find it in #175 anyway.

Whatever. He gone!
Same thing here in Atlanta. The regional mass transit system wanted to raise rates and cut services. They did exactly what you described.
Its a little odd to me that mass transit isn't being supported during a Democrat administration. Where's mah pie?
No, this...
...is Elvis in drag. At least, Elvis is what the breeder named him before we picked him up last week. We've since named him for our musical generation; Frank, aka Francis Albert...
Good point, CC.
‘his previous work for Burma’
He was working AGAINST the Burmese dictatorship. Can’t you read?
I had to look it up. Posting just because. :-)

‘It would be just like the leftist marxists to insert a treasonous mole.’
It would also be like them to smear a loyal and effective aide to get him fired and thus weakening the Palin effort. This sort of thing was talked about in Herodotus’ ‘Histories’.
What does McCain has to do with Randy and Sarah? When the knives came out by the McCain camp, Randy defended her! McCain has nothing to do with telling Randy to defend Sarah or get close to her to do his bidding or anything related to Soros.....this story is much to do about nothing
‘that’s what the the abuse button is for. I’ll just use it a lot I guess until the abuse dies down.’
When some poster was personally insulting me some years ago, I tried your technique. Got a five day suspension for abusing the abuse button. Have a good time.
Eye on the ball everyone. Like Virginia Ridgerunner states, this is all part of STOP SARAH PALIN WEEK, which will definitely go into week's two three or four.
Scheunemann is a big guy. He can answer the “charges” on his own. His loyalty to Sarah Palin came through in ‘08.
Sarah Palin doesn't trust very many people and she employs Scheunemann, but that doesn't make him a confidant.
Now get thee to a burn ward, dillweed.
The source of the story is a Soros operation. Doesn’t that tell you what you need to know?
Stick your head back in the sandpile.
Figure it out.
Yes it does.
Track some of those groups back. You might be surprised.
