Media Characterizes Military Invasion of South Florida as “Cool Tourist Story”
01 week ago
Hey Florida! Did any of you witness this last night? Here are some news reports about it.
What did you think? Please leave your comments. Thanks, editor.
A joint drill between military and police in South Florida involving troops storming a building in the middle of the night was characterized by local media coverage not as a frightening example of how Americans are being acclimatized to accept a state of martial law but as a ‘cool tourist story’.
Panic-stricken residents in Coconut Grove were awoken at 1am to the sound of simulated gunfire and explosions as military helicopters hovered over buildings and dispatched troops to the ground.
The Department of Defense drills prompted a deluge of 911 calls, but instead of asking why the military is terrifying American citizens on U.S. soil with drills designed to acclimate the public to accept martial law, local news station WSVN-TV framed the incident as a ‘cool tourist story’.
“Miami police assisted in overseeing the exercises — but they were instructed to keep quiet about the exercises until late Monday, for security reasons. The police also blocked off roads around the Grand Bay during the exercise,” reports the Miami Herald.

Dr. Beverly Carmichael, Assistant Chancellor for University Advancement at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, was honored with the Professional Achievement Award presented to alumni who have demonstrated significant accomplishments in their fields and have achieved recognition in their field.

Gamble Rogers Folk Fest is back in the St. Augustine Amphitheatre
02 weeks ago
When it comes to a full day and night of musical entertainment, there’s nothing finer than today’s Gamble Rogers Folk Festival. Especially, when it’s back home in the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
This year’s festival is the 17th and the theme is “Return to Oklawaha County,” appropriately titled, according to Festival President Paul Linser’s recent edition of Gamble Gazette. Oklawaha County is a fictional Florida place that Rogers would take his audiences to wherever he performed.
Rogers lived in the Lighthouse Park on Anastasia Island and had staged a Storytelling Festival at the amphitheatre which highlighted, among other performers, winners from a public schools contest he organized to encourage appreciation of the art of storytelling.
He won national acclaim for his own stories and songs and singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett acknowledged Rogers as a mentor.
But Rogers untimely but heroic death in 1991 left his adopted community in shock. He died at a Flagler County Park while trying to rescue a man drowning in the rough October surf. Both men died in the rescue attempt. The St. Johns County School Board named a middle school for Rogers and Flagler County named its oceanside park in his memory.
His friends and fans created the Gamble Rogers Folk Festival in tribute and it showcases performers from all over the county. We’re glad the festival has become a tradition here and we’re glad its back “home.” The camaraderie in Rogers’ backyard can’t be beat.
Four stages and venues will be going non-stop today from noon until 6 p.m. And then, the Main Stage continues on with the headliners starting at 7 p.m., Aaron O’Rourke Trio, followed by the well-known regional group, the Gatorbone Band, and then The Waymores, whom Linser refers to as one of Nashville’s top threesomes of singer-songwriters.
The festival’s proceeds benefit youth music programs. Tickets for today’s festival are $35 per person and children under 12 get in free when accompanied by an adult on a paid ticket.
The Amphitheatre is always a busy place with or without another event on Saturdays with the Farmer’s Market open for business until around 12:30 p.m. We suggest you come early and take in the market before following the sounds of music.

See the Supermoon in St. Augustine tonight
02 weeks ago
On Saturday night the biggest and brightest full moon of the year will pass closer to Earth than usual.
At 11:34 p.m., the moon will be about 221,802 miles from Earth. That’s about 15,300 miles closer than average. Saturday’s event will be the closest and the biggest and brightest full moon of the year, a “supermoon.”
That proximity will make the moon appear about 14 percent bigger than it would if the moon were at its farthest distance, said Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The moon follows an elliptical orbit around the Earth so its distance from the earth varies.
Like any full moon, the supermoon will look bigger when it’s on or near the horizon because the atmosphere refracts the moon’s light like a magnifying glass. The full moon will appear on the horizon at sunset, just before 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday.
The supermoon will bring unusually high tides because of its closeness and also the alignment of the moon with the sun and Earth.
The last supermoon, on March 19, 2011, was about 240 miles closer than this year’s. Next year’s supermoon will be a bit farther away.

Capt. Underpants restrained: Boulder Cop stalks: CU kid goes to St.Penn
22 weeks ago
I can’t believe the city of Boulder “could possibly be so obtuse “ to try to get an Order of Protection (restraining order) on Seth Brigham. Their last go around with him cost us the tax payer $10,000. This one will cost me and you more. The Boulder Police department wants not part of this or they would have charged him with misdemeanor harassment. Even so the city has ordered a
police officer to be at every council meeting to keep Brigham at bay. The cops interfered with Seths’ free speech just once and it cost the city ten grand. They are not likely to do it again. So now the city is trying to get a permanent restraining order in civil county court. But the rules of first amendment free speech still apply. They apply to the city and to city staff and council members more than they apply to a private citizen.

So now the city is trying to get a permanent restraining order in civil county court. But the rules of first amendment free speech still apply. They apply to the city and to city staff and council members more than they apply to a private citizen.
In fact the city council chambers are the most protected space fro free speech in the land except for the court house lawn which is even more protected free speech. Legally, Brigham cannot be banned from speaking at city council meetings. He cannot be banned from emailing council members and he cannot be banned from writing about them, calling them or trying to talk to them.
This situation will bring out every constitutional attorney in Colorado to defend Seth. In the past The city of Boulders own attorney Ariel Calonne spelled this out in detail to both me and my civil rights attorney David Lane. Lane happens to be Seths attorney as well. This all started with Seth when the fascist dictates of the council barred Seth from speaking on public access TV. Seth has not forgotten and they are all paying for their sins now. Every issue surrounding this case is purely first amendment. It is all constitutional. It is all about the public’s right to know.
In this case the council really deserves Seth and they really deserved to be slapped with a heavy law suit and a reprimand by me. “What the fuck are idiots trying now??”
Meanwhile, back at the Boulder Police department , they are having their own troubles. Seems a head injured officer went nuts and tried to kill his ex-girlfriend and her knew boyfriend. The officer was injured several years ago trying to arrest a drunk in the Sink who was refusing to pay a bar tab. The officer had been on leave with pay when his stalking and attempted murder charges were filed just 3 days before Seths.
To make all of this more interesting, in the very same week a Judge sentenced the college kid who injured the officer to two years in the State penitentiary. won’t that be fun for him.
