MooPig Olympic History Nanosecond :: "Black Power 1968 Olympics"

Did it Make a Difference?
Retracted by Pat Darnell  |  July 24, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]  ... in the same stadium from which 6,200 pigeons swooped skyward to signify the opening of the "Peace Olympics," Sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two disaffected black athletes from the U.S. put on a public display of petulance that sparked one of the most unpleasant controversies in Olympic history and turned the high drama of the games into theater of the absurd. Smith had just won the 200-meter dash in a record-breaking 19.8 ...

Iconic Images of Human Rights Violations (43): Black Power Salute at the 1968 Olympics | P.a.p.-Blog // Human Rights Etc.: "The two U.S. athletes received their medals shoeless, but wearing black socks, to represent black poverty. Carlos wore a necklace of beads which he described “were for those individuals that were lynched, or killed and that no-one said a prayer for, that were hung and tarred. It was for those thrown off the side of the boats in the middle passage.”

As they left the podium they were booed by the crowd. Time magazine wrote “Faster, Higher, Stronger” is the motto of the Olympic Games. “Angrier, nastier, uglier” better describes the scene in Mexico City last week. (source)

Carlos and Smith were stripped of their medals, ejected from the Olympic Village, and returned to an unfriendly welcome in the U.S."

Now jump ahead to 2012 Olympics

It writes itself, no lie.

Is this what Bernanke means by Quantitative Easing? The Oracle of "Never really getting anywhere in life...?"

MooPig Home School Department :: "John Taylor Gatto"

The Fourth Purpose

Mashed by Pat Darnell  |  July 18, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

While experts carry on about the "enigma of compulsory education" in the USA, John Taylor Gatto is making a documentary about it. Our education drama is a spoiler because Education is paid for by public funds, and free to all the children. If it were not "free," believe me, parents and children would fight in the streets for the chance to go to school.

Deciding on how to spend the mountain of money that is our public education system has become an accountant's trick. Our politicians who pose as school administrators parlay all day long on "problems of our school system in terms of engineering solutions—longer school days, Phonics vs. Whole Word, merit pay for teachers, metal detectors, bigger districts, smaller class size."

The article suggests that we have lost any real purpose of education: "if the first three purposes are to create good people, good citizens, and good lives, as history suggests, then why have we allowed the Managerial Fourth Purpose to dominate what is really occurring in our 100,000 school buildings?. (2000-2003 The Odysseus Group. LINK) ..." Sometimes it seems the purpose of education is to produce non-voting taxpayers, and that's all.

In 1991, Mr. Gatto resigned from teaching in New York because "He didn't want to harm children anymore." We think that those who have fought the good fight of American education, and lost battles, usually tend to their wounds by writing an expose on the system. One of these whistle-blowers should have by now produced the definitive rebuttal to our Public Education debacle.

(2000-2003 The Odysseus Group. LINK)
" ... The Fourth Purpose, a 3-part, 6-hour documentary series will be the first film to ask this fundamental question. The series will tackle the American school system: present, past, and future—its anomalies, its history, and the alternatives. The idea is to throw a bucket of ice-cold water in the faces of pundits, experts, and bureaucrats. The intention is to radically shift the context within which people view schooling by offering a ‘unified field theory’ of how and why our school system is so deeply dysfunctional. And then, once we have everyone’s attention, to show what people might do about it. ... "

John Taylor Gatto Biography: "Gatto's office is in New York City, his home in Oxford, New York, where he is currently at work on a documentary film about the nature of modern schooling entitled The Fourth Purpose, with his friend and former student, Roland Legiardi-Laura. For more information about this film, visit The Fourth Purpose.

Gatto has been married for forty years to the same woman, and has two grown children and a cat. He hopes to build a rural retreat and library for the use of families pondering local and personal issues of school reform. John is available as a speaker. "

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "Flexible Display"

State-of-the-Art
Retrieved by Pat Darnell and Son  |  Mar 6, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK] In 2004, forward-looking members of the U.S. Army saw the potential flexible displays could bring to soldiers while on the battelfield.

Every time a manufacturer develops a new device, it spells death to many current devices. Easy to understand, right? Right. But is it going to deliver what it promises, and for how long will it deliver before the next device is developed?

Really, this is the root of MooPig's Tech Coroner Department. Without constant developments in state-of-the-art electronic devices our guys in the basement, without windows, would not have that much to do.

What Technologies will "Flexible Displays" supplant?

• Badges: Will flex-display stop a bullet?
• Ultra-pure display glass ... not needed
• Individual Soldier relies on "hand signals" or "shouts" in terms of "communication" ... All Gone
  
• "Hardware" and "heavy duty brackets" for hanging glass displays ... outdated 
• Your "PC" ... to the land-fills.
• "Flat screen TV, projectors, cell phones" ... ta ta .

What Samsung, U.S. Army, and Microsoft are "DEMO-ing" here is an actual "Distortion field."

MooPig Communist Department :: "Don't Get all Excited, it's Routine"

“Game of Thrones”
Bedazzled by Pat Darnell | Jan 3, 2013 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

Yes, MooPig Enterprises has decided to departmentalize all the political dogmas. It's better this way.

Tubby here, Kim Jong un, has become the latest sick'o leader from the Communist regime in North Korea. He might still be a couple of points more popular worldwide than John Boehner, though.

This article lists the recent reasons for tension between North and South Korea. They still don't have a treaty from the Korean 1950-53 conflict... hit or miss, it is a soap opera with a video gamer at the helm.

For instance, " ... Last month, South Korea elected as president Park Geun-hye, a conservative daughter of assassinated military ruler Park Chung-hee, whom Kim Il-sung had tried to kill at the height of their Cold War confrontation. ... "

Kim Jong Un New Year's Address: North Korea Leader Urges Peace With South Korea: "While the younger Kim's public diplomacy resonates well with the North Korean public, "the new North Korean leader's impact on the outside world is undermined by North Korea's continued provocations and bombastic rhetoric," Klingner said."

MooPig Tech Coroner :: "Remember Ma Bell?"

[Picture LINK]

" ... ATandT, for instance, has suggested shutting down its old copper wire system — the only telecommunications platform that worked in some areas after Hurricane Sandy because it relies on a separate, minimal supply of electricity. ... "
Snagged by Pat Darnell, and, TN Correspondent Beka Gunter on faceBook  |  Dec 2, 2012  |  Bryan TX

" ... Just as canals and railroads let America grow in the 19th century, and highways and airports did so in the 20th century, the information superhighway is vital for the nation’s economic growth in the 21st. The nation can’t afford to leave its future in the hands of the cartels. (David Cay Johnston, November 27, 2012. LINK) ... "

Read ARticle here:: Break Up the Telecom Cartels - NYTimes.com: " ... because ATandT’s and Verizon’s own land-based services operate mostly in discrete geographic markets, each cartel rules its domain as a near monopoly."

" ... Americans have been told that competition in telecommunications would produce innovation, better service and lower prices.
  'via Blog this'
" ... As of now huge parts of the United States will never get on the information superhighway but will rather slog along on the digital equivalent of a country road. This presents a genuine economic threat to America: the future industries and jobs that require a universal ultra-high-speed network, after all, will most likely be developed somewhere else. ... "

MooPig's Piracy Department :: "Pictures Pirated that pay Off"

by Pat Darnell | Jan 27, 2012 | Bryan TX

MooPig "Idiocy Department" recently told the "Piracy Department" that these few pictures, shown below, attract the most viewers. That's right -- a little girl riding an alligator, a Colombian Street Party, I don't know what two clothed people in a modified Lazy Boy, Junior with Senior, Fonzie on ski's -- these pirated photos bring in 88% of the views here at MooPig. What the other 8000 photo's [not all pirated] do we don't know.

MooPig Statistics are provided by Google Blogger Dudes. MooPig has about 800 views per day, and about 26,500 views per month average. For a blog that is sand bagged, has fake third parties, and possibly guilty of piracy on several layers... it remains one of life's mysteries how we get that many views per day!


So all in one place we give you MooPig's Hall of Fame Pictures ::
