I took these photos of Cabela’s mountain goat display in their Anchorage, Alaska store with my 12MP LX100 compact camera, handheld. Didn’t want to make a scene with my 50MP 5DsR. The image behind the artificial trees and the three goat mounts is painted on the wall.

“Beware when interests attack an issue by controversializing or attacking the people, personalities and organizations surrounding it rather than addressing the facts.”
Study: “Wikipedia contradicted medical research 90% of the time.”
“Anonymous Wikipedia editors control and co-opt pages on behalf of special interests. They forbid and reverse edits that go against their agenda.”
“The drug company also arranged to optimize Google search engine results, so it was no accident that you stumbled across that positive non-profit that had all of those positive comments. The non-profit was, of course, secretly founded and funded by the drug company. The drug company also financed that positive study….”

Astroturf and manipulation of media messages | Sharyl Attkisson | TEDxUniversityofNevada
In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.
Sharyl Attkisson is an investigative journalist based in Washington D.C. She is currently writing a book entitled Stonewalled (Harper Collins), which addresses the unseen influences of corporations and special interests on the information and images the public receives every day in the news and elsewhere. For twenty years (through March 2014), Attkisson was a correspondent for CBS News. In 2013, she received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism for her reporting on “The Business of Congress,” which included an undercover investigation into fundraising by Republican freshmen. She also received Emmy nominations in 2013 for Benghazi: Dying for Security and Green Energy Going Red. Additionally, Attkisson received a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award as part of the CBS Sunday Morning team’s entry for Outstanding Morning Program for her report: “Washington Lobbying: K-Street Behind Closed Doors.” In September 2012, Attkisson also received an Emmy for Oustanding Investigative Journalism for the “Gunwalker: Fast and Furious” story. She received the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Investigative Reporting for the same story. Attkisson received an Investigative Emmy Award in 2009 for her exclusive investigations into TARP and the bank bailout. She received an Investigative Emmy Award in 2002 for her series of exclusive reports about mismanagement at the Red Cross.

It’s now so bad that in this election, HiLIARy supporters KNOWINGLY supported an immoral government. A large percentage of America is now willfully morally corrupt!
“History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.”
– Douglas MacArthur

“If the people are unhappy with the government performance it must be recognized that government is merely a reflection of an immoral society that rejected a moral government of constitutional limitations of power and love of freedom.
If this is the problem all the tinkering with thousands of pages of new laws and regulations will do nothing to solve the problem.
I took this photo in Anchorage a few hours ago of enthusiastic sign wavers. What really made it special were the dozens of friendly honks — the best being from semis!!!
Really special! United we stand : )
I used a long exposure for effect. The guy in the middle is waving a sign that can barely be seen.
Written on the back of the Trump sign is “DRAIN THE SWAMP,” which can be seen by drivers coming towards us.
Clicking on photo may open larger. I’m working on this blog to be able to publish some larger photos for my photo-a-day project, coming soon!
