Heh. Patches + Boeing

Brand New reveals how Boeing is part of the grand conspiracy I discussed earlier. What’s hilarious about this, is that’s where Gaffney gets at least some of his paychecks from. Does this mean Gaffney’s part of the grand conspiracy he’s against?

The Great Patch Conspiracy

Frank Gaffney is going nuts over a new missile defense logo.

This is a guy who spends his every waking moment terrified of something or the other, be it the Chinese taking over the Panama Canal,  or flaming objects falling from the sky. (Note: Gaffney takes most of his funding from the big war crowd – to the point where he has little model airplanes hanging throughout his CSP offices.)

In this case, however, he’s got a point. The Great Islamist Conspiracy is deeply embedded in the US Military. Here are some additional patches that clearly show this.

Note the use of the color green, and the direction, and if you turn to face east, that cannon is clearly pointing to Mecca.

218th Infantry Brigade.
210th Artillery Brigade.

Fight Back PAC

Interesting use of a political action committee as an offensive weapon. Could be a useful model for someone wanting to target the financial industry (which includes a variety of elected officials).

This deep pocketed gay rights group is targeting the major players behind the 38 senators who voted against gay rights in New York.  Notes:

  • Rhetoric. This is clearly a team on the offense. Think Rahm Emanuel. (Use of military terminology – targeting, criminal, incompetent.) There’s even a kind of hit list on the Who? page.
  • Going after an easy, primed target. These guys are going to absolutely annihilate Monserrate (the clown who violently assaulted his girlfriend and was expelled from the NY Senate as a result). This will elicit widespread goodwill, significant momentum, and funding. Then its just a question of positioning.

This could have huge potential for taking down the banksters. Unfortunately, these kinds of efforts – centering on hearts and minds involve lots of heavy funding in the form of a Patron. Bad news is they are all potential targets.

It’s the Simple Datapoints

Courtesy of my Google Reader, the juxtaposition of these two articles is darkly humorous:
