DHS Report Demonizes Political Dissent

The recent DHS (Department of Homeland Security) report, issued April 7th, is the latest in a very disturbing trend by the left and in the media to characterize political dissenters as dangerous right-wing extremists.  When I first saw the report I, like others, was almost certain that it  was a fake created by anti-Obama nut jobs.  I could not belive it was an actual government document. The DHS report, which seems uncharacteristically vague for a law enforcement assessment, goes so far as to link these “Right-Wing Extremists” to hate organizations and white supremacists. The three major news network websites ran the story pretty much as I’m sure the Obama administration intended, a chilling warning about returning veterans, guns, and hate.  Only Fox News reported the story with any integrity. The idea that the traditional press is still “The Fourth Estate“  and represents the people, is pretty much dead. Michele Malkin and others have weighed in on the DHS report but it is the way that the newspapers and networks are using this story that really concerns me. There is little doubt that a de-facto coalition exists between the Obama administration and the traditional press. God help anyone who disagrees with them.

What’s in a name?

According to The Huffington Post, a Japanese company called Cyberdyne has just built a working human exoskeleton called “HAL” that assists the wearer in movement and strength.

Apparently no one in Japan watches any American science fiction movies because that company has to have chosen the worst possible names… Cyberdyne and HAL? Wow.
