There is a specific reason why we draw bold attention to the ignored events the media are paralyzed to present around controversial issues.
To say that all blacks are inherently predisposed to violence, mayhem or {fill in the blank} is patently absurd. Nor is such a foundational principle for us discussing or outlining events which circulate the ignored media narratives of the day.
Yet it is impossible to remove the racial componentry from some issues as they present themselves to be. It is exactly because the Main Stream Media believe you must separate out the racial or Islamic ideological componentry they are forced to ignore many of the issues and events which surround modern society. It’s called “willful blindness’.
The media end up having to ignore stories because their inherent predisposition precludes them from discussing *any* event which draws along racial or ideological boundaries. Unless those events surround common Fabian antagonistic issues such as: Free Markets, Individual Liberty, and Christianity.
This willful blindness or misplaced “ignoring” is exactly the source of the reason why we do not differentiate in stories we present.
However, that’s not to say we don’t differentiate between the larger group who behave in an appropriate manner, and the sub-set which take full advantage of the forced silence and hide within the majority. We most certainly do.
CAIR is to radical Islam what the NAACP is to unlawful black violence. Both groups hide behind advocacy while creating an environment without accountability for the radical element within their association. (more…)
With a news week like this in the rear view one could hardly blame anyone for feeling an inability to breathe.
Then again, such emotional exhaustion is what’s often counted upon by the ideological opposition. When they talk of “overwhelming the system”, they are not just talking about societal constructs – they’re also talking about overwhelming your mind, or more specifically your sense of peace.
That way when they create only a half-dozen or so progressively created crisis’s at a time there is a tendency to feel relief. Until they are stopped, progressives will always find a way to push the envelope still further:
To borrow from Chip Bennett:
This is the treehouse. We engage in conversation. [Stories] such as [these] represent, to many of us, an example of how our society continues to decline. We discuss it for catharsis; we discuss it to consider strategy to change the societal decline we observe; we discuss it because we are humans, who are wired to process information through such means.
And the people having the discussion – each of whom has found his or her own branch in the tree? They’re my neighbors, too. Just like Charlie Mayes is my neighbor.
An odd story about a guy who bought a house where a grisly murder took place makes me ponder the question.
Seriously speaking – would it matter to you ?
…”They claim both victimhood and moral superiority. If they’re so superior why are they repeatedly victimized? Of course, it’s past the point where the answer to that rhetorical question matters”…

(Image Via G Captain) A crew member on board Songa Offshore’s drilling rig, the Songa Mercur, drilling offshore Vietnam, notes in an email he may have witnessed the missing Malaysian plane on fire at a high altitude. He writes:
Gentlemen. I believe I saw the Malaysian Airlines flight come down. The timing is right.
I tried to contact Malaysian and Vietnamese officials days ago. But I do not know if the message has been received.
I am on the oil ring Songa-Mercur off the coast of Vung Tau.
‘The surface location of the observation is
Lat 08 deg 22′ 30.20″ N
Long 108 deg 42 ‘ 22.26″ E
I observed (the plane?) burning at high altitude at a compass bearing of 265 to 275. It is very difficult to judge the distance but I would say 50 to 70 kms along the compass bearing 260-277.
While I observed (the plane) it appeared to be in one piece.
The sea surface current at our location is 2-2.3 knots in the direction of 225-230.
The wind direction has been E-ENE averaging 15-20 knots. (more…)

Perhaps with time permitting a little reflection it is prudent to clarify the intents and purposes of the Treehouse community.
This is a conversation.
Your conversation.
A conversation about what’s happening, but more importantly about ‘why’ it’s happening, whatever the happening appears to be.
If you peel back all the visible layers (amid the storylines), placed by the people and organizations participating in the various happenings, you will eventually find a single set of ideological truths.
All of the “fundamental change-isms” are about filling voids. More directly, the layers of time present as people, like bricklayers, trying desperately to fill voids from the outside in.
The substance of filler may take on this type of formula: If we take from them, and give to them-others, then things will be better….. Or, if we take from them, and give to ourselves, we will be better…… Or, if we can only just make them _______ !
But it, all of it, revolves around the perception of not having something, and the perception of needing something external. (more…)
