Occupiers freak out over Chicago police pullover, conspiracy theories fester

http://twitter.com/#!/Timcast/status/204071931283116032

A trio of Occupy livestreamers were reportedly pulled over by Chicago police. They practically wet their pants, claimed to have been “raided,” and stoked conspiracy theories about things being “planted” in their apartment. In the end, though, one flustered member of the group acknowledged that they were fine and were proceeding to upload their agitprop to the Internet (using evil corporate products, of course.)

Update 1:29am : On their livestream, one of the Occupiers tells @OccupyLA that the apartment they were staying at was not raided with guns drawn, but “our vehicle was.” Occupiers suggest to each other that the police stopped them in order to deprive them of sleep so they don’t protest tomorrow…and to send them into chaos:

"very powerful tactic to send your enemy into chaos… currently what we are experiencing…" – timcast is more of a drama queen than obama!

— el Sooper (@SooperMexican) May 20, 2012

The narcissism. It burns.

After the car stop, the livestreamers are now driving around aimlessly. The driver tells Occupier viewers on his livestream: “I don’t know where I’m going.”

Here’s a screencap of one of the freakout yoots. Note the cover on one of the phones:

Ain’t that the truth.

Chasing the Scream

The New York Times Bestseller The Book Behind the Viral TED Talk For the first time, the startling full story of the disastrous war on drugs–propelled by moving human stories, revolutionary insight into addiction, and fearless international reporting. What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? One of Johann Hari’s earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not be able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family. Confused, unable to know what to do, he set out on a three-year, 30,000-mile journey to discover what really causes addiction–and what really solves it. He uncovered a range of remarkable human stories–of how the war on drugs began with Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer, being stalked and killed by a racist policeman; of the scientist who discovered the surprising key to addiction; and of the countries that ended their war on drugs–with extraordinary results. His discoveries led him to give a TED talk and animation which have now been viewed more than 25 million times. This is the story of a life-changing journey that showed the world the opposite of addiction is connection.

Achievement-spotting: #ObamaHelpedBlacksLike tallies results

http://twitter.com/#!/IamJavone/status/241714141801357312

White liberals like Bob Beckel and Clay Aiken assured us how much they care about African-Americans during the Republican National Convention by counting black faces — a seemingly impossible task following a poll showing #BlackConservativesForRomney don’t exist.

As the Democratic National Convention looms and African-American employment tops 14 percent, conservatives are taking inventory themselves, using the hashtag #ObamaHelpedBlacksLike to tally the administration’s accomplishments.
