I guess I had too much fun last night for next day updates:
"A student who wore a Ku Klux Klan costume to Worcester Technical High School on Friday was ordered to remove part of her outfit, officials said. The student wore a white robe and white hood, according to Jennifer Roy, a spokeswoman for Worcester public schools. Before classes began, the student took photos in the costume. She was asked to remove the hood and not wear the costume for the rest of the day, Roy said in a statement. The school is celebrating spirit week and invited students to wear costumes in the theme of superheros and supervillians, according to the spokeswoman."
Yeah, take off the toga or you will miss the boat like the Globe -- as the good-guys, bad-guys narrative is constantly reinforced with our kids.
So who is going to tell them we are the bad guys?
"French town bans clown suits for Halloween" by Adam Taylor | Washington Post November 01, 2014
WASHINGTON — Clowns are a perennial Halloween costume: Not particularly trendy or inspired, but timelessly creepy and easy to recognize.
This Halloween, however, one town in France has other ideas. In a decree issued Oct. 28, just days before the big day, Pierre Dudieuzere, mayor of Vendargues, a small town near Montpellier, banned all clown costumes for anyone over 13 on Halloween and for a month afterward.
French no fun even though they have a clown for president.
The decree makes clear that the ban is ‘‘absolute’’ on the eve of Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, and that anyone violating it would be arrested and prosecuted.
It's a good thing the French don't have real problems, and when is the next French false flag attack with Muslim in clown outfit?
Dudieuzere’s ban on clown costumes may seem extreme, but it comes from a real concern. Last weekend, according to Agence France Presse, more than a dozen teenagers were arrested while dressed as clowns in the Mediterranean port town of Agde. They were reported to have pistols, knives, and baseball bats.
These teenagers, and others like them, appear to be following the example of trend spread online via social media.
This is about a social as I get, folks. No face, no tweet.
There are countless numbers of clown prank videos on YouTube, produced by people from a variety of countries, some of which have been viewed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of times.
Such pranks are antisocial but far from rare. Last year, a number of clown sightings in the United Kingdom led to a lot of hype in the tabloid press, and this month, a number of clowns terrorized one Californian city, leading to one arrest.
Now I am starting to laugh!
But in France, the pranks appear to have been particularly menacing. In the town of Bethune, a 19-year-old apprentice butcher was recently given a suspended sentence for using his costume to scare children.
Are you sure it wasn't a haunted house hoax passed of as real plot??
Back in my day, we kids loved clowns (honk, honk, ha, ha)!
And in Montpellier, a man who assaulted a stranger with a metal broom handle while dressed as a clown was sentenced to four months in prison.
Did he get gunned down for it?
--more--"
Woah, scary clown.
Whatever happened to the kind I grew up with? You know, the ones with painted smiles and fake flowers in their hats? The ones that made you laugh doing silly slapstick things? The ones that brought joy, not terror?
So what did I do last night?
Halloween 2014: Scary Jail Cells
"New York City has reached a $2.25 million settlement with the family of a mentally ill, homeless former U.S. Marine who died earlier this year in a 101-degrees Fahrenheit jail cell, the comptroller said Friday.
I think the guilty authorities and officials should pay the cost, not the good taxpayers of the city.
Jerome Murdough, 56, died in a mental observation unit at the Rikers Island jail on Feb. 15, eight days after he was sent to the facility because he couldn't afford to pay $2,500 bail on a trespassing arrest. He was found slumped at the foot of his bed with a pool of vomit and blood on the floor and an internal body temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Officials said he wasn't checked on for at least four hours. Murdough's mother, Alma, filed initial papers to sue the city for $25 million over her son's death. But Comptroller Scott Stringer said Friday his office took the unusual step of settling the case before a lawsuit was filed after a review of the facts of the case. Murdough had suffered from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, according to his family, and was on psychotropic drugs that experts say make people on them more sensitive to heat. The medical examiner ruled the death was caused by accidental hyperthermia."
Must have scared the Globe to death.
Not only that, they were beating the band yet it's nothing but the sounds of silence from the Globe today as you are blinded to the printed photo showing zombies, superheroes, and hazardous-materials suits that I am unable to find anywhere. How disturbingly "cool."
So cool, in fact, that I am exhausted by the psyop prop to the point where conflating commingling leaves one as numb as the dead:
"Liberia opens one of the country’s largest Ebola treatment centers" by Jonathan Paye-Layleh | Associated Press November 01, 2014
MONROVIA, Liberia — The World Health Organization said this week that the rate of infection in Liberia appears to be falling but warned that the response effort must be kept up or the trend could be reversed.
The international community’s response was late and figures were mostly wrong, Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, told reporters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
But believe them now.
He said he is concerned about the ‘‘huge discrepancy’’ between announcements and the situation on the ground in the Ebola-affected countries.
More than 13,500 people have been sickened by the disease, and nearly 5,000 have died, the World Health Organization said Friday. That toll has about 130 fewer cases than the one released by WHO two days ago, mostly because a number of suspected cases in Guinea were determined not to be Ebola, the agency said.
The outbreak has hit Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea hardest and all three countries have resorted to extraordinary measures to combat it.Sierra Leone has had a state of emergency in place for three months that bans public gatherings.
While the disease is beginning to let up in some of Sierra Leone’s eastern districts, infections are continuing in the capital and surrounding areas....
Nevertheless, the lead is ‘‘the disease is finally on the decline, and the opening of a new treatment center, built out of white plastic sheeting with USAID written across it, is a sign that the Ebola outbreak is finally on the wane.’’
Yeah, thanks, CIA.

"State public health commissioner Cheryl Bartlett said at a news conference that hospitals already receive extra money from the federal government for emergency preparedness, and that her agency has been in discussion with federal regulators about whether some of that money might be redirected to the hospitals in the collaborative."
That's what it is all about at bottom when it comes to my new$paper.
‘‘In his ruling, Maine judge Charles C. LaVerdiere thanked nurse Kaci Hickox for her service in Africa and acknowledged the gravity of restricting someone’s constitutional rights without solid science to back it up. ‘‘The court is fully aware of the misconceptions, misinformation, bad science, and bad information being spread from shore to shore in our country with respect to Ebola,’’ he wrote. ‘‘The court is fully aware that people are acting out of fear and that this fear is not entirely rational.’’
But don't question 9/11, the origins of ISIS, or any of the other agendas of fear being pushed to benefit a certain cho$en few by, quite frankly, a media that specializes in misconceptions, misinformation, bad $cience, and bad information. I know it's a judge saying that, but you get my point. Seeing it where I'm seeing it is the offense.
I think I will continue with my rounds:
"Crowds jeer suspect in killing of Pa. state trooper" by Seamus McGraw | New York Times November 01, 2014
MILFORD, Pa. — The crowd was waiting Friday as Eric M. Frein, the suspect accused of killing a state trooper and wounding another, was brought out the front door of the Pike County Courthouse at the center of this prim village.
Officers leading Frein stopped momentarily, allowing bystanders to get a look at the man who had been the subject of an intense police search since the Sept. 12 ambush outside the nearby state trooper barracks in Blooming Grove.
This is feeling more staged and scripted every day, and the mind-manipulating tyranny had grown tiresome on the town so this narrative needed to be resolved for now.
Many heckled and jeered as Frein was led through the crowd. “You’re not a real soldier,” one man shouted, in reference to his military role-playing. Cheers erupted as Frein was placed in the back of a police cruiser and driven away.
Crowds just showed up, huh?
That's kind of a strange thing right from the start.
How did word get around, and again, I have to remind you that most of what we see and read in the ma$$ media and propaganda pre$$ is false. It's distortions, it's lies, it's totally fake. That is simply where we are these days.
********
Frein, who had bruises on the left side of his face and a gash across his nose, appeared healthy. His appearance seemed to lend credibility to police theories that the self-taught survival enthusiast had been taking refuge in empty cabins and other vacant structures and living on supplies he had hidden in the woods while planning the shootings....
Yup, the official cover story or whatever this is has been validated!
The seven-week, multimillion dollar hunt for Frein ended about 6 p.m. Thursday when a tactical squad for the US Marshals Service stumbled upon Frein at the abandoned Birchwood Pocono Airpark....
Pfffft!
I'm sure Frein is a fine actor.
On Friday morning, Lieutenant Colonel George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police said Frein had been surprised while walking across a weed-covered runway not far from an abandoned hangar he had apparently been using as a hide-out.
The thermal-imaging gear never picked him up?
The cut on his nose and several bruises on the left side of his face, Bivens said, were “something that occurred during his flight through the woods.”
He was not armed at the time, Bivens said, though at least one rifle and a handgun were later recovered from the hangar. Frein has been talking with investigators, although Bivens stopped short of describing him as cooperative.
So the fugitive leaves his hideout without taking a weapon? Oh, STINK!
First the CELLPHONE CALL and NOW THIS!! They must be hiring third-rate propagandists these days over nepotistic interests, because this stuff is so rank.
Federal marshals turned Frein over to state troopers who placed him in Dickson’s handcuffs and took him to the barracks in Blooming Grove using the slain trooper’s Ford Crown Victoria.
How poetic.
Within an hour of his arrest, a crowd had begun to gather, and someone had hung a white bedsheet with the words “Way to go PSP!” on the trees not far from where Frein is said to have concealed himself for the ambush....
But don't wear one.

‘‘The position was seen under the previous commissioner as largely ceremonial and stripped of power. Commissioner William Bratton said the job had been highly important during his previous stint as commissioner in the 1990s and remains so. ‘‘That is the most significant position in the New York Police Department outside of commissioner,’’ he said, adding the position would have had expanded duties. Those would have included drawing on Chief Philip Banks III’s experience as chief of community affairs to help rebuild trust with minority communities after the department’s controversy over the practice known as stop and frisk. His decision also comes at a time when the Mayor Bill de Blasio’s relationship with the department is strained over accusations he sided with frequent NYPD critic Al Sharpton after the chokehold death of an unarmed suspect, and his refusal to fire a top aide living with a convicted killer who has often mocked officers as ‘‘pigs.’’
Endorsing death squads wasn't enough (a**hole)?

Halloween 2014: Menino Will Haunt Boston

What I will remember him for:
"The 63-year-old bridge was abruptly closed on Oct. 8, forcing the evacuation of Long Island and the programs housed there, including a homeless shelter and drug rehabilitation programs. Reconstructing the 3,450-foot bridge will cost $80 million, and Melina Schuler, a spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh, acknowledged Friday that it is not known where the money will come from. The city’s capital plan includes $35 million for the bridge. “There are no concrete funding sources identified at this time, but we’ll be looking into federal government grant money and exploring all types of options,” Schuler said."
I think that bag is empty, and we can't ask Menino where all the money went as wealth inequality and homelessness soared on his watch, along with other maladies. I said I was going to stop blogging about it, and yet I am still blogging about Bo$ton.
Was about time to bury this post anyway.
