Ronda Rousey tweets video suggesting Sandy Hook was gov't conspiracy
http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/435454/Ronda-Rousey-tweets-video-suggesting-Sandy-Hook-was-govt-conspiracy/
UFC Women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has an affinity for
attracting media attention nearly equivalent to her skill with
armbars.
Mae West, or maybe it was P.T. Barnum, Will Rogers, or W.C. Fields,
famously said "I dont care what the newspapers say about me as long
as they spell my name right."
That nostrum may be put to the test after "Rowdy" posted a video on
her twitter account that suggests that the Sandy Hook Elementary
School massacre was a government conspiracy.
Ronda Rousey @RondaRousey
Extremely interesting must watch video
@Sebas747
wow respect for posting this Ronda! Prepare yourself for some gnarly
tweeets.
Ronda Rousey @RondaRousey
Criticism is always expected ;)
Bloodstain Lane @BloodstainLane
glad to see you are free thinker unlike these other ROBOT athletes
Ronda Rousey @RondaRousey
thanks, I just figure asking questions and doing research is more
patriotic than blindly accepting what you're told
Ronda Rousey @RondaRousey
If you're gunna make yourself and exception - be prepared to piss ALOT
of people off ;)
Rousey has since deleted the tweet.
Her manager, Darin Harvey, later told MMAjunkie.com that Rousey meant
no disrespect.
"Ronda's the kind of person that doesn't take everything at face
value, and doesn't have 100 percent faith in all the news that's put
out there by the mainstream press," said Harvey.
Harvey clarified that he and Rousey were horrified by the shooting. He
said he hadn't recently spoken to her, but speculated she didn't
realize the extent of the controversy surrounding the video when she
forwarded it.
"I don't think that she did anything so horrible," Harvey said. "I
think what she was doing is retweeting something that gave a different
perspective as to what transpired on that day. I don't think anything
in that video denied that it happened.
"I don't know if it's the truth or not. I'm not an investigator, but
it seemed to me that if that Bushmaster really was sitting in the
trunk of a car, and the guy killed himself inside the school, how
would the gun end up in the trunk of a car? Maybe it's just bulls---
facts. I didn't investigate it. I think Ronda thought it was
interesting and retweeted it, and that was the extent of it. I don't
think she was saying the mainstream press was wrong. It was just a
different perspective."

Ronda Rousey did not glorify Big Brother.
Neither did the Dixie Chicks.
"It was a bright cold day in April," when I posted this, "and the
clocks were striking thirteen," and they still are.

The Dixie Chicks did not Glorify Big Brother.
"WAR IS PEACE"
--George Bush
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I had never heard of the "Dixie Chicks" until one of them
made an off the cuff remark about President Bush.
The next morning my telescreen turned itself on and I saw a
group of people jumping up and down on a pile of Dixie
Chicks CD's and chanting slogans of rage against the Chicks.
It was right off the pages of Orwell's "1984." The Two Minutes Hate
I don't think the ex Dixie Chicks fans would do something like that in
the privacy of their own back yard, with no T.V. cameras around. It
was definitely a signal created by the media mongers that if you don't
glorify Big Brother, your career will suffer - or perhaps end.
Movie stars and singers are held in high respect and admiration by
their fans. Their fans want to look like them, be like them, and think
like them. He who controls the movie stars - controls the masses.
up and down in their places and shouting at the tops of their
voices...The little sandy-haired woman had turned bright pink, and her
mouth was opening and shutting like that of a landed fish.
...The dark-haired girl behind Winston had begun crying out "Swine!
Swine! Swine" and suddenly picked up a heavy Newspeak dictionary and
flung it at the screen. ...A hideous ecstasy of fear and
vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a
sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the group of people like an
electric current, turning one even against one's will into a
grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage one felt was an
abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object
to another like the flame of a blowlamp..."
