During House vote a stenographer, seated in House well, goes to microphone on dais, yells, and is removed from the floor. Something's she said: "He will not be mocked!" (in reference to God, because God hates funding the American government?) "The greatest deception here is this is NOT one nation under God." "The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons, they go against God." "You cannot serve two masters."
2 Ehns0mnyak 2013-10-17
I do believe they are trying to turn us against the constitution, but no way could Muslim Obama speak out against it in this fashion. So have this patsy speak their message in the medium of an outraged unelected citizen.

Pretty reasonable response, way to go you.
6 mgbones 2013-10-17
only looks like she wants to be unnoticed before speaking to me
4 ryrynobutsrsly 2013-10-17
No way. Watch how limp her arms are, no one's arms swing that much. And she walks facing completely straight forward the entire way, even up to the point when she reaches the podium. Then she reaches the podium, makes a full stop right in front of it and has to do a full ninety degree turn to face the audience. Looks super weird.
5 mgbones 2013-10-17
yea, she doesnt want the judge to see her about to take the mic. maybe a bit exaggerated on her part. either way, what happened was strange all around
5 TheWiredWorld 2013-10-17
Agreed. She looked really...off. Almost posessed.
6 dopeboyhero 2013-10-17
No. She had a confident "I don't give a f*ck" stroll.
5 CIA_Sockpuppet 2013-10-17

6 -Money- 2013-10-17
I love what the guy says in the comments.
"Now none of you can say you never were told. This was your warning straight from a vessel being used by Jesus Himself."
I'm actually going to agree, the calm zombie like walk and demeanor she showed was almost like a subtle possession, walking up the stairs like that, and something about the way it's being spoken is very perplexing and moving.
EDIT:
After listening again I could swear at the very end she said "Praise ME forever" right as her voice cuts out and the video ends.
EDIT 2:
Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said she had a crazed look on her face.
http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/House-worker-yells-during-vote-escorted-away-4902293.php
I also want to know who it was that had the authority to touch her and escort her out like that, she's an employee with the right to be there just like the rest of those scum, we should have whoever picked her up and dragged out fired. Freedom of Speech is DEAD, and today is the day it was finally confirmed to the rest of America.

4 Sonmi-452 2013-10-17
Are you high right now?
Freedom of speech doesn't give me the right to walk up to the mic in Albertson's and start riffin on Jesus. And it doesn't give a stenographer the right to interrupt the business of the U.S. government in the middle of intense negotiations and start blabbering about Freemasons and shit.
Obviously, this woman was emotional and delusional and was rightly escorted out by staff. Now you're calling for those folks to be fired for violating her 1st amendment rights? You don't seem to understand reality very clearly
1 Balthanos 2013-10-17
Meh, it was during the count. Negotiations most likely finalized before the actual vote count.
2 Sonmi-452 2013-10-17
So?
0 Balthanos 2013-10-17
The "Meh" indicated that it was just a statement. Don't get all stand-iffish with me over nothing. I'm not disagreeing with your premise. I just wanted to clarify your statement.
1 Sonmi-452 2013-10-17
Personal slang? If you're expecting normal reactions it might not be the best word choice as a lead-in. Just sayin'.
0 Balthanos 2013-10-17
Is it? I've always considered it to represent "body language" or gesturing. As if, during a conversation, I had preceded my statement with a shrug or a disregarding gesture. I've found these "fillers" in textual conversation very helpful when attempting to inject emotion or set mood without using ascii characters to represent facial expressions. It seems slightly more adult.
For clarification, you may substitute "Meh" with the following words in a contextual format: eh, huh, well, hmm, cool, whatever
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meh
Fuck.. it has a wikipedia entry.
0 Sonmi-452 2013-10-17
Meh has denoted condescension since it was popularized by the Simpsons.
On my planet, the term connotes disdain through a certain smug ambivalence. I wouldn't suggest that anyone use it as an analog for hesitation in speech like 'um'. 'Whatever' is closer and we all know how that word often sounds.
2 Balthanos 2013-10-17
Your planet should get wikipedia.

-1 -Tom- 2013-10-17

those were not her words. listen again, no gavel

Noise reduction?
Edit: It seems that people are saying that audio is from her in the hallway, not while she was at the podium.
1 SameShit2piles 2013-10-17
lol
1 SoCo_cpp 2013-10-17
It really wouldn't be that hard to remove the background noise including the gavel, but it would be difficult to do it well. Good old Audacity, free and open source, has very usable noise reducing filters.
1 SameShit2piles 2013-10-17
mkay
1 SoCo_cpp 2013-10-17
You seem hesitant. The process is simple, you select a section of recorded background noise and the filter removes that from a recording that has the same background noise as well as other stuff very well. It takes some tweaking of some adjustments and is hard to make it not come out sounding like a tin can, but it works extremely well. That being said, this audio seems to have turned out to be taken in a hallway not in the proceedings room, so there was no gavel in the recording to begin with.
1 SameShit2piles 2013-10-17
yeah I read that too
1 Money_Is_Debt 2013-10-17
I think there is a problem. The audio doesn't have the lady slamming the hammer in the background like the video clip. I think it's fake, which makes this even more bizarre. Who would upload a fake clip, and an obviously fake one at that?

Can anyone tell me exactly what she meant by what she was saying? Who are the "two masters"?
24 stevo_of_schnitzel 2013-10-17
A reference to Matthew 6:24. "A man cannot serve two masters"
Essentially, whenever any brings this up, it means that somebody is choosing something over the will of God.
5 GreyWolf107 2013-10-17
Thank you sir
19 Jordoom 2013-10-17
The "two masters," specifically, are God and Mammon. Mammon is generally a personification of greed, or the love of money. It's not so much choosing "something" over God, but rather "some things" over God. Earthly treasures. Money and what it can buy.
A lot of people will write this lady off as crazy, and partially because she quoted Scripture and referenced God. But, she's right. If money is your "god", you can't serve anything else.
1 bigmike7 2013-10-17
Thank you, Master
9 [deleted] 2013-10-17
She is referring to god and satan. The freemasons are widely believed to be satan worshiping cult. Which is why she says it cant be one nation founded under god if freemasons wrote the constitution. Which is the nation really serving?
7 fredman555 2013-10-17
anyone whos actually researched freemasonary knows thats a load of bull.
it isnt until you get into the top echelons of any secret society when you start encountering the satanists. Being a freemason doesnt instantly mean someone is bad, just that theyre members of an organization whos leaders are bad.
2 [deleted] 2013-10-17
Well I'm just going by what all those videos online talk about. The ones that lead people to believe feemasons, illuminati and lizard people are all the same thing.

1 Ferrofluid 2013-10-17
evil trickles down, people join the masons for selfish reasons, they want to belong to the successful club, they get helped in their careers and ventures, they pay back (big time) when the bell tolls.
1 fredman555 2013-10-17
not true. People who join the Freemasons are either:
1) knows someone who is, and that person suggests that they join 2) see past the BS and are legitimately curious as to what its about
others who join for other reasons are quickly weeded out. if all it took was 100 dollar fee for joining for someone to walk in and witness the evil first hand, then the masons are an even less of a threat than you make them out to be

Interesting that she was a stenographer.
Those people, you would think, are the even-keel sort. And have to have good hearing and manual dexterity. They usually take down information as it's spoken.
Maybe she "overheard" some devil-speak, for real.
Like if I say "The ayes have it," is that what I really said, or did I say "The eyes have it?" Or "the ice habit?"
What few people know is that stenographers don't take down letters as they're spelled, they take down phonemes and auditory information.
No joke NLP is full of that shit. Or is it double-speak?

Who is the grey haired fellow that she is talking to just before she starts her robot walk to the podium? Watch him, don't watch her. He first suspiciously looks around after sending her on her way. Then he reaches in to his pocket, gets out his phone and starts texting/emailing, play poker, on his phone. Then when she gets to the podium and starts speaking, he suspiciously looks around like 'who is this nutbag'. So who is this representative of ours, that was the last person that spoke to this lady.
6 OscillatingMan 2013-10-17

Two dudes walked up to a lady standing at the central podium.. picked her up under her shoulders and escorted her out(carried). I was hoping someone had it on DVR to rewind. I'm watching the live feed online so that's not an option.
It was about 2 minutes before the conclusion of the vote when it happens.

One thing I wanted to mention was, when I was watching this live I specifically remember noticing the stenographers due to her snazzy hands free machine strapped over her shoulders used to do her job. This was not the same lady that approached the podium and spoke. The lady I saw that I assumed was the stenographers was wearing black business suit. Clearly a different lady?
I must add I do not know how many stenographers are staffed in the House to be clear.
