Idiocracy Director: It's Kind Of Scary How Quickly The Movie Became A Documentary

For years, fans of the 2006 cult film Idiocracy have lamented society’s drift toward the fictional reality in which farmers and leaders water their crops with sports drinks but can’t figure out why they won’t grow.

Earlier this year, the film’s screenwriter, Etan Cohen, tweeted, “I never expected #idiocracy to become a documentary.”

Now, Mike Judge, the film’s director, has weighed in on the growing similarities between his satirical, dystopian United States set hundreds of years in the future — and present-day America .... http://www.zerohedge.com

It’s leading toward a “robot society,” says the director.

German cities introduce ground traffic lights for distracted phone users

Authorities in the German cities of Cologne and Augsburg have installed traffic lights on the ground in the hope that they will get the attention of distracted phone users and stop them from walking out in front of traffic.

At various tram stops around both cities, rows of red LED lights have been installed by the curb and when a tram or bus is approaching, they flash.

It’s hoped the introduction of the lights will prevent so-called “smombies” (smartphone zombies) from being injured in road traffic incidents, which is what happened on two occasions in Augsburg recently .... https://www.rt.com

Student Rep. on Free Speech: “Some People Have More Equal Rights Than Others”

During a debate about the threat to free speech on university campuses, Richard Brooks, the Vice-President of the National Union of Students, almost quoted George Orwell’s Animal Farm directly when he said that “some people have more equal rights than others.”

Asked by host Victoria Derbyshire, “are too many people being silenced?” Brooks said that the NUS’ “no platform policy” was a way of preventing “fascists and racists” from speaking on campus.

Brooks claimed that the organization’s “safe space policy” is “based on the idea that every single person has freedom of speech, and everyone has equal right to freedom of speech, however, some people have more equal rights than others.” .... http://www.infowars.com

The Government Actually Has A Zombie Apocalypse Plan … And It’s Just Been Declassified

A few year ago, the Center for Disease Control launched a zombie preparedness initiative that drew significant attention. The Department of Defense followed suit and developed an entire training course intended for the Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES). The complete response plan, called CONPLAN888, was recently declassified, and it’s just as weird and creepy as you might imagine.

The Black Vault posted two documents retrieved from the NSA using the Freedom of Information Act.

The purpose of the plan, according to the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), was to use a fictitious scenario to prepare for real-world emergencies.

The objective of the three-fold plan includes the neutralization of zombies through “denial, deception, disruption, degradation or destruction,” though with the exception of ‘destruction,’ it is unclear what is meant by these terms with regard to fighting zombies .... http://www.activistpost.com

STUDY: LYRICS OF NO. 1 HIT SONGS AVERAGE A THIRD-GRADE READING LEVEL

According to a new study conducted by data wiz Andrew Powell-Morse, the lyrics for the last decade’s No. 1 hit songs average a third-grade reading level. Powell-Morse analyzed 225 songs that had spent three or more weeks atop the Billboard charts in four different genres (R&B/Hip-Hop, Country, Pop, and Rock) and found that a second-grader with slightly higher-than-average reading comprehension skills would have no problem grasping the lyrics.

While the study’s findings seem obvious to anyone who has flipped on a radio in the last few years, there are a number of surprising points in the data.

According to the study, country music is the “smartest” genre lyrically, with an average grade-level of 3.3. Pop and rock tie at 2.9, while today’s hip-hop could be fairly well-understood by a second-grader in the latter half of the school year .... http://www.breitbart.com

Greenpeace Activist Calls for Climate Change ‘Deniers’ to be Beheaded

A climate change advocate, believed to be a Greenpeace activist and Guardian contributor, has called for the beheading of so-called “climate change deniers”, arguing the world would be a better place without them. The comments are merely the latest in a long history of warmists advocating the killing of people who question global warming dogma.

On January 21st, in it’s ‘Climate Consensus – the 97%’ section, the Guardian published an article entitled “Matt Ridley wants to gamble the Earth’s future because he won’t learn from the past”, which was illustrated with a fake, but nonetheless rather gruesome image of a severed head.

The article drew hundreds of comments, including one from ‘Bluecloud’ on the day the article was posted, reading “Should that not be Ridley’s severed head in the photo?” .... http://www.breitbart.com

PHILADELPHIA – Americans show great uncertainty when it comes to answering basic questions about how their government works, a national survey conducted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania has found.

The survey of 1,416 adults, released for Constitution Day (Sept. 17) in conjunction with the launch of the Civics Renewal Network, found that:
