Patriot Act On The Precipice Of Death, Napolitano Says Terror Attack Imminent

The Patriot Act has failed to be extended in the newly Republican House. In what has to just be a coincidence, DHS chief Janet Napolitano is pimping a heightened terror attack threat once more.

The Patriot Act is the most severe attack upon the civil liberties of Americans since the Alien and Sedition Act. With this law still in effect, the Constitution is just a bunch of words printed on a fading piece of paper. This law enables the Federal government to have rolling wiretaps, conduct searches with a warrant written by a federal agent, implant listening devices in your home without any notification, lock you in prison without habeas corpus and if you say anything to anybody they’ll lock your ass up indefinitely.

Government coerces you to accept its power through the barrel of a gun. The more power it gets, the more oppressive its demands become. The more oppressive its demands become, bigger and bigger do their guns become.

If you believe that the United States government only has your best interests at heart I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. They may say they are protecting you from Habib Mubopbop. Reality dictates they are grabbing more power away from you so they can accrue even more into their hands; standard operating procedure for government.

Because of the degradation of intelligence in society, they can grab more power with little to no opposition. You want to repeal this law? Well, that smelly goat herder over there wants to blow up your city and cut your head off. By the way, your girlfriend sounded hot last night. Hope she’s not pregnant.

I have never trusted these elevated terror “threats” the DHS sends out whenever something happens that is not to their liking. Patriot Act is defanged? Terror attack imminent! Pro-freedom candidates are going to win an election? Terror attack imminent!

These terror warnings are nothing but Chicken Little cries that the sky is falling. They have to produce no evidence to the public to justify these warnings. Since these warnings are convenient to the national security establishment, they make them up whole from cloth. What better way to get people to voluntarily give up freedom than to stick the threat of imminent demise in their face? No threat imminent? Make it up! They’re just sheep anyway!

In reality, these false terror threats are meant to illicit a Pavlovian response in the populace. If you do something enough, your subject will eventually do whatever it is you want on a certain prompt. If the government keeps on saying a terror attack is imminent unless the people give up even more rights, people will keep on following that prompt until they are packed in concentration camps.

We live in a police state. I would much rather face the threat of dying in a terrorist attack than be a slave my whole life.

Janet Napolitano and the whole national ‘security’ establishment is scared to death of the Patriot Act not passing. The Patriot Act is the biggest threat to your liberties ever devised. Having no rights, having no freedom is what the government needs. When a society is free government has no power. That is why they must take it away. Otherwise, what use is a useless government to professional bureaucrats? It is worth naught.

I am trying not to sound like a pessimist. I do see some positives coming down the creek. The American people are wising up. They no longer hold up what their government says as sacred writ. The office of the President has been wholly delegitimized. Distrust of government is at a historical new high. And it seems the new Tea Party class of Republicans in Congress is following the Constitution like they said they would.

There is one more hurdle for the expiration of the Patriot Act to go through. The Senate must vote to not extend this bill and kill it like it should have been killed almost ten years ago.

America can’t wait. The Patriot Act must be sent to the dustbins of history.

State Sponsored Multiculturalism Is A Failure: British Prime Minister David Cameron

State sponsored multiculturalism has two goals. The first goal is to destroy the idea of the nation state. When you have immigrants from every country in the world rushing into your nation, borders become useless lines on a map and without borders the idea of a sovereign nation becomes toast. Liberals and men without nations would love to get rid of sovereign governments so they could consolidate the power into their hands and out of yours’. The second goal is to start a race or class war between the natives of your country and the new underclass of foreigners. When you have a class war, your government can create an even bigger domestic government to crack down on the liberties of your people.

Great Britain is the hallmark of what multiculturalism can be. Britain, once a proud nation, has become a third rate power. Their borders are something kids learn about only abstractly in school. Arabs have invaded the city of London, turning it into Baghdad Jr. The whites that had the means moved out of the city and into the suburbs. The ancient cockney accent is dead. The common British accent contains traces of the Pakistani dialect. The whites left behind in the cities are being forced into penury. There is an evening out of wages, where the unskilled immigrants and the native British are about to become the same. Tempers are hot. The climate in Britain is full of gas waiting for a spark. They can thank their own government.

It is a positive development that U.K. Prime Minister, David Cameron, has come out publicly against multiculturalism. His country is no longer the land of the ancient Celts. It is no longer the nation of Queen Elizabeth. That huckster John Maynard Keynes has surpassed Adam Smith. Shakespeare is thought a relic of the past to butcher excerpts from his plays, while romance novels are read as great literature. The Koran has surpassed the Bible. All this while those socialist warmongers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown twiddled their thumbs.

David Cameron is not someone I consider a great politician or conservative. The most conservative policy ever suggested by him was rescinding the ban on fox hunting. His national healthcare system is destroying his country bit by bit. That old hag, the Queen, is still running rampant in this poor excuse of a free country.

But David Cameron is right that multiculturalism must be stopped. It is destroying England. Cameron is wrong on most things but even a stopped clock is right twice a day. He is right. He deserves an honorable mention.

Good job, Dave baby!

Don't Watch The Super Bowl

It is Super Bowl Sunday and everyone is getting ready for the festivities. Like any holiday made for idiots, it involves guzzling down cheap beer, eating enough pizza to make your shit stink for weeks and emergency rooms filled to the brim with heart attack victims.

It is the culmination of a year’s worth of football trials and tribulations. It’s the championship, don’t ‘ya know?

It is the grand pooba of American holidays. Move over Christmas, Easter, Independence Day and Thanksgiving. It is the celebration of our new religion: football!

That’s right. Christianity went the way of the dodo, Islam is for child molesters, Judaism ain’t what it used to be, Scientology was made by a broke ass two bit pulp writer and Buddhism doesn’t jibe with an unbalanced world; ‘ya dig?

What better than football to be our new religion? You have retards running around a grass field, throwing a “ball” around and tackling each other to show how supreme their ‘team’ is to the other ‘team’. Sounds like life under the Obama regime, no?

I’m not one for ceremony. I’m not going to watch the Super Bowl. I’m going to do something productive like reading a book (what a foreign idea!) or maybe writing another article for this blog. Maybe I’ll even spend time with my family or get a girlfriend. The possibilities are endless!

I’m sure you have a brain that at least functions half way. Otherwise, how else would you possess the discriminating taste to actually read something I have written? If you’re not just a monkey banging on keys, you shouldn’t watch the Super Bowl either. Walk your dog, start that novel you’ve had kicking around in your head for a while, have sex…it’s up to you!

Be a heretic. Be a rebel. Don’t watch the Super Bowl.

Obama: Mercantilist

I always get annoyed when Barack Obama is called a socialist or Marxist. This annoyance does not come from any kind of pent up love and affection for the man. Nay, I just call it like it is. The economic system Barack Obama follows is not capitalism or communism but neo-mercantilism.

Mercantilism was a dominant economic system set up in the Late Renaissance and Early Modern period in Europe. Even though it had its roots in parts throughout Europe; especially in the non-free market section of Spain’s Salamanca school, it got the most traction in Great Britain. British merchant Thomas Mun was considered one of mercantilism’s greatest proponents.

Mercantilism is the mistaken belief that the prosperity of a state is wholly dependent upon its supply of capital, the global balance of trade is unchangeable (unchangeable as in a zero sum game) and that one party may only benefit at the expense of another. In a nutshell, the government has to manage the economy through a protectionist trade policy (either towards domestic corporations or friends of the current regime) using prohibitive taxation, tariffs or extremely restrictive licenses to do business and the total confiscation of gold and silver in favor of domestic monetary units.

What is a neo-mercantilist? Instead of viewing trade and commerce as between nations, as the old mercantilists used to posit, it views all trade in the domestic market as trade between nations. In neo-mercantilism all economic activity between two parties that are not supporters of the state should be clamped down by excessive taxation and restrictive licensing laws to start and maintain a business. It also incorporates aspects of Socialism, with redistribution of wealth and the control of the means of economic production. There is also a smattering of Keynesianism; a school of thought heavily influenced by mercantilism, where government must infuse the economy with massive spending to boost start the market.

This fallacious system is alive and well with the Obama regime. If it isn’t him giving waivers from Obamacare to companies that supported his election campaign, his letting General Electric (one of his biggest supporters) cart blanche to build a clean burning coal plant while burdening every other company that produces coal fuel with taxes and regulations that leave them bankrupt and Obama giving General Electric a special waiver from his oppressive ‘global warming laws’ while leaving other businesses to eat cake.

Mercantilism died when it was torn apart by great thinkers like Adam Smith, David Hume, Dudley North and John Locke. Reality also dealt mercantilism a fatal blow. When food prices went up, when factories were closing and people were left homeless on the streets people got angry and kicked the bums who supported this dastardly system out of office and into the streets. Mercantilism was one of the major stimuli that kick started the American Revolution; even if ghouls like Alexander Hamilton only wanted to replace one economic dictator for one born and raised in the U.S.A.

Neo-mercantilism will die like its much-maligned grandfather. Reality will set in, when food prices sore and affordable energy is a thing of the past, people will get mad. When people lose everything, they lose it. All politics comes down to the pocket book. These elites think they can squash all commerce that does not favor them; even when that competition is by leaps and bounds more economically efficient than they are. Free markets are the only true natural economic order. It is human nature. Any impingement on this system through any sort of economic central planning is a perversion of human nature. Economic central planning is just as bad as a child molestation or infanticide.

Obama is not a socialist. His economic policy does have elements of Marxism. But, the Marxist argument is a way to get you arguing over that while Obama and his cronies swoop in and discredit every argument you make. He is a neo-mercantilist. That fact is irrefutable. He is killing this country and economy through this foolish policy. Attack him on this. It might be a bit heady for some Americans. I have faith in the intelligence of the American people. So should you.

Al Gore's Folly: It Snows, Yet He Persists With Failed CO2 Theory

I can barely walk outside my door and not slip on ice. New York has turned into a frozen tundra. Power hungry politicians and establishment scientists who promoted the false global warming theory should be tarred and feathered. You’d think they’d give up when a glance outside makes their stories of snowless winters hack level fairy tales. They are relentless. The lust for power and tax revenue enables them to continue their sneak thievery under the banner of ‘climate change’ instead of the old means tested global warming moniker. There is no greater offender than Al Gore.

Al Gore has made a widely seen Power Point presentation and written a few books on the subject of global warming. According to him, the sea levels would rise, New York and San Diego would be underwater and snow would be as distant a memory as the Wooly Mammoth. Who is to blame? Man. Why? His God-awful technology is releasing carbon dioxide into the air ever since he left the garden. The solution to this nightmare scenario? Pay your carbon indulgences to Al Gore as he absolves you of your sins while waving his magical pixie wand.

This brutal winter has relegated that theory to the back of the bus with the flat Earth theory and Disco as a viable art form.

Al Gore has moved on from global warming but not climate change. What is Al Gore’s theory as to the stimuli of these winter storms? Man and his constant belching of carbon dioxide. Never let a fact get in the way of a good story and don’t stop putting money in the pocket of Al Gore.

Carbon Dioxide is a natural occurring gas that is breathed in by plants and has nothing to do with the Earth getting warmer and cooler. The Earth always fluctuates. Sometimes it gets hot and sometimes it gets cold. The current weather, either hotter or warmer, is due to both the Earth ‘s tilt and either the frequency or infrequency of the Sun’s solar waves. It is the highest form of arrogance to believe that humans have the power to actually change the Earth. If the Earth wanted, it could shake us off and not think twice about it.

Al Gore does not listen to facts. Facts are not integral to his mythology. You have to believe that humans are changing the Earth for the worse like it is a religion. If you dare question the official orthodoxy you are a heretic to be burned at the stake.

Please, you are ruining the Earth with your carbon. So, leave your wallet at the door to be picked up by your government and Al Gore. Don’t resist. Don’t be a big bad male. And please, remember to sign over all paychecks to Mr. Al Gore.

John Bolton Calls For Murder

With the revolution in Egypt going full swing, the fake conservatives are frothing at the mouth screaming,” Blood! We want more blood! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!”

Former ambassador to the United Nations and prospective 2012 Republican presidential candidate, John Bolton, went on the Sean Hannity Radio Show yesterday and proclaimed if Mubarak falls, Israel should bomb Iran.

Sean Hannity, may be he be blessed at the altar of Leon Strauss, asked Bolton,” Do you think the Israelis are going to have to strike [Iran]-they are going to have to take action?

“As you pointed out, ElBaredei ran cover for the Iranians, for all the years he was with the IAEA. And, I just don’t think the Israelis have much longer to wait…they’re going to have to act in short order.”

After gleefully brushing his mustache worthy of a sleazy 70’s porn star, Bolton responded,” I think that’s right. I don’t think there’s much time to act. And I think the fall of a Egyptian government committed to the peace agreement will almost certainly speed that timetable.”

John Bolton is well known for repeatedly calling for the bombing of Iran on evidence more fantastic than Allen Ginsberg having a female wife.

John Bolton, in August of 2010, proclaimed loudly Israel had only a eight-day window to bomb Iran before Iran’s nuclear facilities are made operational for non-peaceful methods. The eight days came and went, amounting to nothing.

In August of 2008, John Bolton proclaimed Israel would bomb Iran before the swearing in of the next president. Bolton said Israel would not trust Obama to support them so they would bomb before Bush left office. Obama, not being a peacenik (but lets keep convenient facts outside of this story), came into office and nothing happened. Bolton made lots of noise, amounting to nothing.

John Bolton is an unstable and stupid man that should not be allowed within 1,000 feet of the nuclear football. The mainstream media trots him out as an expert on foreign policy, but one could find much better talent in your local hospital’s maternity ward. Thank God he blows out nothing but hot air, holds no power and his words amount to nothing except to bloggers around the world.

A pigeon just pooped in New York. If you’re John Bolton, that’s reason enough for Israel to bomb Iran.

Discovery Bay California Bans Cash, Hates Freedom

Paying cash is the best way to protect oneself from unwanted intrusion by governments looking to track your purchases in real time and using that information against you. They will claim only terrorists and anti-government extremists use cash to hide their nefarious purchases from the light. But the paper trail left by buying things through credit and debit cards is logged by the government and can be falsified to go after those who the state despises. Cash purchases are the best safeguard from this. That is why governments federal, state and local are looking to kill that loophole. You must be logged, tagged and tracked or else you are with the ‘terrorists’.

The march towards a cashless society is well under way in Discovery Bay, California. The residents of Discovery Bay will be the first municipality in the country to deny residents the option of paying cash for public services. As the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been going bananas in their advertisement spots claiming cash payers are terrorists and devils, so does Discovery Bay follow this despotic viewpoint with gusto.

Starting in May, if you live in Discovery Bay, to pay your water bill, buy a leisure card to enter local parks or to purchase any kind of government service you must pay by either credit card, debit card, check or money order.

I guess people who wish to pay cash have money that is no good. I guess when the greenbacks say it is legal tender for all debts public and private, it is just a piece of paper with words on it (I’m apt to agree with that, but that’s for a different day and different article). I guess the brown shirted fascists are afraid of the mundanes wanting any sort of anonymity.

What are the official reasons for this damnable legislation? City officials claim they are enacting this legislation to protect the city workers from potential thieves with an eye for the city’s cash stores (government hates competition!). But the facts tell a totally different story than the city government’s convenient fantasy.

A former board member of the Discovery Bay city council is saying the move is in response to residents paying in cash for the disclosure of official city documents. Even though this is a perfectly legal right, I guess the city of Discovery Bay is afraid that its activity behind closed doors will be shown the light of day and give fodder to their potential electoral challengers.

As with any government, the City of Discovery Bay is afraid of its own people. One of the other unofficial reasons given was that the citizens were getting uncommonly antagonistic towards the local government. They were using documents procured to take shots toward the government. When a government gets so big, so corrupted that it intrudes into other people’s lives, citizens get mad and take charge of the situation. The people being the biggest threat to any nefarious government scheme, said government must lock up all damning information before the people see and take up pitchforks.

This legislation sets two very dangerous precedent. With Discovery Bay in the lead, many other towns, cities, counties and states will be enacting similar laws. Although they will claim they will be protecting their workers and the government from potential thieves, the truth will be they are looking to find out who wants to find out the results of their leader’s backroom activities and then act against them accordingly.

The second precedent is much more sinister. The DHS has been screeching that all who wish to pay cash are terrorists and must be treated like the devils they are. If you refuse to use credit cards or checks you must be with the terrorists.

This is a script the DHS has been following for quite awhile. In manuals, videos and public service announcements, they have been depicting people who prefer cash purchases to be involved in terroristic activity and a threat to the nation. The most blaring example of this is the video PSA entitled No Reservations: Suspicious Activity In Hotels.

In the video, the perky little counter girl at the hotel is shocked, just shocked this man (this brown man!) wants to pay for his room in cash. Oh, the horror! He wants some anonymity. I’m so sorry his purchase is not being logged, tracked and stored for the merry peeping toms in southern Maryland to use against him when he becomes an inconvenience to the fatherland!

The DHS, the Federal “Security” apparatus and political talkers from both ends of the controlled political spectrum have been calling for tyranny at a fever pitch. When the DHS is producing PSA’s that depict cash payers as evil terrorists, not as people that value their privacy, we know we are entering a brave new world; not in the Shakespearian sense either! The government is fomenting paranoia and misplaced do-gooder tendencies to control the people from realizing they have been treated as slaves their forefathers fought and died to keep free from oppression.

Paying cash, as I mentioned earlier in this article, is the best way to protect your privacy when buying or selling goods. There is no paper trail and that’s why the government hates it. Don’t be surprised at some time in the future; cash is fazed out entirely in favor of credit and debit cards.

We are driving down the road to tyranny. Our final destination is total despotism. The only way to save us from this fate is to turn back now before it is too late. We must head back towards liberty. For liberty is our best chance for survival as a species.

Republican Peter King Wants To Disarm The Mundanes

After the Tucson shooting, there has been a bipartisan call to ban guns, free speech and to desecrate the Constitution. The dumb dumb liberals have been the loudest in the call to kill our Constitutional rights. But there have been Republicans, who were swept into office last election on a platform of following the Constitution as a sacrosanct document, are also calling for a reduction of rights.

Peter King, a Republican Congressman from Long Island and chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, plans to introduce a bill that would make it a felony to be in the possession of a firearm within 1,000 feet of a Federal official. This bill is wrong on many levels and could lead to the total disarmament of the American people.

What would constitute a Federal official? Your local mailman is considered a Federal official. Would it be illegal to have a firearm in your home if the mailman is dropping off your mail? Most houses are not set one thousand feet or further from their mailbox. Some houses have mail slots in their doors or have mail boxes attached to the house. Being an overly skeptical human being with a love for speculative fiction, I could see this bill being used as an excuse to get rid of everyone’s guns.

Census agents are also considered Federal officials. Would it be illegal to have a firearm in your home when the Census agent knocks on your door once every ten years?


It seems fairly convenient that every state is forced to have gun registration laws where the State knows who has guns and who doesn’t. They know where the guns are and when laws like the one being introduced by Congressman King are put into affect, they come and take them. The response from sane gun owners should be: try and take them. Just see what happens. (Hate speech! Arrest him!)

Peter King is a hypocrite. He believes the American people are a threat to domestic tranquility, making all of us terrorists. But Peter King has a dirty little skeleton in his closet. He himself is a supporter of a real terrorist organization and he is responsible for killing innocents. Back in the 80’s and early 90’s, Peter King was a fundraiser for the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The IRA is responsible for killing scores of innocents, including women and children, and anyone that supported them either financially or materially has the blood of innocents on their hands. Congressman King’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Of course, like most gun control laws, it does not apply to armed federal agents. I’m sure they would never hurt innocent people…

John Loughner: The Real Story

I have been to quite a few Tea Party events. I have spent considerable amounts of time with members of Tea Party groups. I have met some who are passionate to a fault but never saw one with a violent bone in their bodies. But Tea Party members, like libertarians and anarchists, are a threat to the establishment because they believe in the decentralization of power and they don’t ‘chill out’ when they feel their lives are being encroached upon by an overbearing government. When statists are threatened, they use the power and force of government to smash opposition to their evil ways.

That is why the establishment media, the stenographers for the regime, have been blaming Tea Party members, conservatives and libertarians for John Loughner shooting Congresswoman Giffords and killing a Federal judge and many others. But the facts do not support this conclusion. John Loughner was a communist, occultist and overall psycho. He had no affiliations with the Tea Party or any organization related with any form of ideology that preaches less governmental power. Why should the establishment let facts get in the way of a good story?

The establishment liberals are not letting a good crisis go to waste. As I write this, Democrats in Congress are rushing through legislation that would restrict gun ownership and would classify any kind of anti-governmental speech as hate speech, arresting you for being an iconoclast.

The fact that John Loughner was a conservative going out to kill liberals does not past the smell test. Congressman Giffords is a true Blue Dog Democrat. She is pro-national sovereignty, anti-open borders and pro-Second Amendment. Judge John Roll, the Federal judge that was killed in this tragedy, was a strict constitutionalist judge that ruled against President Bill Clinton when the Brady Gun Control Bill was brought before him. Do these two sound like officials that were carrying the banner of liberalism throughout the land? If you believe they were, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

John Loughner was involved in some strange, deviant activity. He was a cross-dresser that wanted to become a woman, played around with the occult by worshipping before a shrine in his backyard with a replica human skull, he used to dress up as the Grim Reaper, burnt the American flag, smoked pot, was described as a “left-winger” and he stated the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx as his favorite book. I have seen some strange, yet hardy folks at Tea Parties. Tea Party members are patriots that are passionate in their defense of liberty. I have never met a Tea Party member that was a pot smoking gothic freak with a predilection for wearing ladies panties.

John Loughner’s political philosophy is fuzzy as a television screen tuned to a dead channel. On his Youtube channel he had incoherent rants that criticized conservatives and libertarians. In reality, he was a pencil necked little psychotic faggot with no means of telling right from wrong. He had no affiliations with any kind of tea party group. His psychosis was what led him to kill all these people, including a sweet little nine-year-old girl, in cold blood. It was not any kind of conservatism that led him to do the Devil’s work. If anything, you can blame the left wing for Loughner’s psychosis. He was, as Michael Savage calls the children of the Baby Boomers, a red diaper doper baby. What kind of parent lets their twenty something have a skull shrine in the backyard? Probably a Whole Foods shopping hippy waste of life. One could make the case that the liberal culture of dirty idiocy could be responsible for many deaths in the upcoming years. Even though Loughner was a psycho, he needed a real man as a father to slap the shit out of him and tell him to cut the crap. Alas, I’m sure his father is a latte sipping over educated idiot with a fetish for writers that wear horn rimmed glasses that no one but other educated idiots read.

Coming straight from the toxic landfills that are the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos, they are screeching at the top of their lungs that right -wingers are responsible for this tragedy and now we must “tone down the rhetoric” to prevent this from ever happening again. “Toning down the rhetoric” is a code word for stifling free speech that dares to stare at the beast that is government and says no.

Government loves to expand its power. It considers free humanity a cockroach in the cupboard that must be squashed at all costs. They want to take away your guns so you cannot protect yourself from criminals or an evil police state. They hate the fact that you have a voice that does not give them praise. They will look at any kind of crisis as an invitation by the gods for them to come in, take your rights away and act like they are your sugar daddy.

Because of this cross dressing grim reaper, they are aiming to take your rights. The brain dead ice queen from Long Island, Congresscritter Carolyn McCarthy, will be introducing a bill that would severely restrict your right to bear arms. McCarthy believes just because her husband was killed with a gun on a train by a character in the same vein as John Loughner, she believes guns are bad and must be banned. That view, in a person that is not an abject idiot, would last for about two weeks. Then a smart person would look at history and at nations that have banned guns and would realize that banning them does not work. But McCarthy is an old decrepit hag that hates America and wants to make the rest of America as defenseless as her unfortunate husband. She is nothing but a tragedy vulture. She is a despicable human being that I hope will be standing on the unemployment line when 2012 comes around.

Surprisingly, the voice of sanity in this debacle is the father of the slain nine-year-old girl. Her father was on Fox news recently and stated that his late daughter should not be used as a symbol to take away the freedom of Americans.

It takes a real man to be able to express that feeling. Even though I am not a father, I do have a special little eight-year-old sister in my life. If I were to lose her in a situation such as this, I would be so stricken with grief that I would be unable to defend liberty as I am doing now. My thoughts would be too clouded in misery to be able to express it. I would eventually come to my senses but I am not strong enough to stand to my convictions as strong as he has. My heart goes out to him in his time of need.

I hope John Loughner, that pencil necked gothic freak, gets what’s coming to him in a Super Max prison. If the world has any sense of decency in it, he will be forcefully penetrated by the stereotypical man named Bubba and beaten on every day of his life. I wish every day leading up to his execution is miserable. I hope he is killed painfully and slowly. I hope for him to be spared no quarter. I hope for him to suffer in eternal damnation.

An armed society is a polite society. If Loughner had tried pulling this at a Tea Party rally, he would have been leaving in a body bag. If the disaster vultures get their way, you will be left defenseless against every kind of evil creature, be they from government or from the depths of private psychopathic depravity.

Do not let government exploit another tragedy to take away your rights. Don’t listen to the educated idiot liberals who would see you become a disarmed peasant. Look at the real facts. It was not a Tea Party activist that committed these crimes. Tea Party members are decent people that only care about their freedoms. John Loughner is a satanic communist demon that does not deserve to breath the same air as you and I.

Throughout history, governments have used tragedies to take away the people’s rights. Let’s not repeat history.

I Ain't Scared

This is my 13 post. For good luck, there will not be anything here. And this post will not sit for long. I know...it's just the number 13. But 13 is an unlucky number so I'll pass on having anything to do with it. It's my blog. Not yours.

2012 Pimps Whip Up Fear Over Bird Deaths

Like any good libertarian atheist, I have a strong disdain for government and a tendency to grab my wallet when someone mentions the end of the world is nigh. The massive bird deaths around the world are turning my mental gears and still bringing me back to my normal thought process of distrusting anyone involved with government and religion.

Coming from all corners of the Coast to Coast AM fan base, Christians and 2012 doomsday “prophets” are screeching about these bird deaths being the run up to the coming apocalypse on December 21, 2012. I don’t buy this for a second. Neither do I trust the official explanations from the government and other establishment organs. Because, yet again, I fall back to my hypothesis with anything involving religion and government: trust neither with vigor.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past week, the media has been reporting of mysterious bird deaths around the United States. These cases were mysterious to say the least and the government has not been explaining the causes of these bird deaths with anything resembling clarity.

On Christmas, a large number of birds were found stone cold dead in Kentucky and more were found in the following days. Then, on New Years Eve, birds were falling out of the sky, yet again dead, from the sky around Beebe Arkansas. This was in addition to 10,000 fish found dead between the Ozark Dam and the Highway 109 Bridge in Franklin County, Arkansas. The American Media was all over covering these unexplained phenomena but without being laden with anything resembling pesky facts.

Earlier this week, in the Chesapeake Bay, tens of thousands of dead fish were washed ashore to great dismay from residents of the area. Besides my thoughts of them dyeing from the toxic atmosphere floating from the nearby Washington D.C officials are blaming the death on a recent cold snap on the eastern seaboard. Even though I am not an expert in this field, I do have common sense and do know that elementary biology teaches that fish and other creatures will move to warmer areas when the climate in one area gets too cold for comfort.

Now this phenomenon has gone global.

This week, hundreds of tons of sardines were found dead in a small coastal town called Parana in Brazil. Also, dead fish are starting to wash up in other small coastal towns in Brazil.

This has also migrated to New Zealand. Dead fish have been washing ashore in the thousands. Official scientific organs have been claiming this was the result of inclement weather or starvation due to lack of food sources. But, these fish were found to be quite fat and healthy, which would rule out any sort of starvation or cold weather as a cause of death.

This is parlayed by similar cases in Switzerland and other European countries.

There are some theories rooted in the mundane that do not hold muster. This is the view held by establishment scientists and government media complex organs. They cite localized hale, fireworks or exposed power lines as possible stimuli. What these theories fail to address is how this is applicable to dead fish and how similar events are happening in totally different parts of the globe.

When the establishment scientific community and the government cannot come up with believable theories, pseudo-scientific theories and spiritual doomsday hucksters come in and fill the gap.

One of the pseudo-scientific theories is the idea that the Madrid Fault Line in the Midwest is opening up again, due to the BP oil spill creating an ‘oil volcano’, that is increasing seismic activity in this area. But, like any theory that is not supported by fact or reason, it falls apart when looked at under a microscope. How would earthquakes be responsible for killing thousands of birds at once? Explanations from people who support this theory on how this would work are most likely not forthcoming except blind faith for second-rate bloggers with poor writing skills.

Christians are saying this is the preface to events they believe will happen as mapped out by the Book of Revelations. They believe that there will be a set of catastrophes that will be ended by the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the end of the world. Besides this sounding like a third-rate Robert Jordan imitating fantasy bestseller, it can’t be proven so you shouldn’t believe it. If I can’t see it, I don’t believe it.

The Daniel Pinchbeck following hipsters that believe in the world ending in 2012 as foretold by the Mayan calendar, have also grasped unto this being an affirmation of their doomsday cult beliefs. They believe a set of cataclysmic events and world changing events will keep on happening as the run up to the end of this cycle, the world, that has lasted for 5,125 years. They either believe that it will be the end of everything or it will be the beginning of a new spiritual awakening of the world. Yet again, I fall back to my hypothesis of the Christian end times theory: if I can’t see it I can’t believe it.

As 2012 rapidly approaches, every strange event that happens will be brought up as proof of their idiotic beliefs. But, why should we believe the words of psychedelic drug taking hipsters as proof when there are actual problems in the world and real literature to read? The answer, people are stupid and will follow anyone that either looks sexy or has ideas they feel are sexy. That is how Obama got elected and how half-baked theories abound even when their ideas are routinely discredited.

What all of these disparate theories fail to take into account is that the government has been involved in electromagnetic and biological weapons testing for many years. This testing has had a detrimental effect on humans and wildlife. Are they doing this now? The jury is out but I would not be surprised one bit if information came out that said somehow the government was somehow involved in these birds and fish dyeing. Unlike the return of Jesus Christ, this has happened in the past and is provable by cold hard facts. You can’t trust anyone that supposedly has the “word of god behind them” as much as someone in the State that believes they are God.

There are real problems in this world caused by governments every day and they are real, provable. All this spiritual mumbo jumbo does is distract you from the real problems facing us. Don’t be taken in by the hucksters. All they want to do is scare your pants off so they can offer a solution to their fake problems and laugh all the way to the bank. Don’t help them.

The Death Of The Internet

Corporate radio and television is a wonderland for idiotic yuppies that love to hear the wise words of their government masters. There are hundreds of channels and stations but nothing on. There’s no programming to assist independent thinking or cultivate a sense of rebellion or free will. Just the same pabulum over and over again that pulls the blinders over your eyes to keep you from seeing the full spectrum of political, spiritual or economic analysis.

You go to the Internet to get news, music, entertainment and writing that you cannot get anywhere else. The information available is infinite, untouched by the marker of the government censor and is not regulated; the libertarian’s dream. Everything is decentralized, does not need central planners to guide information in anyway and presents views outside of the establishment paradigms. Where else can you get real conservative and libertarian analysis at the tip of your fingers?

The Internet’s inherent decentralization aids anti-establishmentarians and iconoclasts thus making it a threat to governments everywhere. Everywhere from Communist China, Great Britain to even the United States of America there is a widespread panic among governments to clamp down on the Internet before widespread anti-government resistance reaches critical mass.

The most blaring case is the edict from the FCC that would impose censorship upon the Internet through new “net neutrality” boondoggle. The FCC is looking to regulate content on the Internet and cable television under the guise of “ consumer protection”.

To fully understand what is going on, it is important to take a look at the history of the FCC.

Congress passed the Communications Act of 1934 and created the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate all non-governmental use of the public airwaves. This included radio signals and later television broadcast signals. The original purpose of the FCC was to regulate the airwaves so that there were not competing stations on the same band frequencies causing interference and making the stations unlistenable.

Like any governmental organization, it grew way beyond its originals boundaries and became the massive bureaucrat hang out it is today.

The FCC only regulated broadcast licenses and kept other transmitters from broadcasting on the same frequency as others. Since they controlled station licensing and signal regulation they could move over to content regulation as well. If a station had content the bureaucrats at the FCC found objectionable they could fine that station or not renew its broadcast license.

This had the unintended consequence of homogenizing content over broadcast television and radio. No programming on mass media was intellectually stimulating and kept everything bland and non-offensive.

Then cable television came and broke all the rules. The content was transmitted through private cable wires and was not under the iron grip of FCC rule. You could have content that had words the FCC did not allow (George Carlin’s famous bit comes to mind.) and challenging programming was able to thrive on HBO and Showtime.

But this format was still limiting. You could not start your own cable channel unless you had a spare couple of million dollars burning a hole in your pocket and connections in the advertising business. Content and individual thought was still controlled by a small cadre of intellectual gatekeepers.

Then the Internet became a widespread phenomenon among the general public and completely democratized the transmission of information and entertainment. There were no gatekeepers and no over-reaching government organization telling everyone what’s what. If you have views that are beyond the mainstream or have a voice that needs to be heard the Internet is for you and you can have a site for free or for a nominal fee.

Under the FCC’s new regulatory scheme, cloaked in the language of protection, the Federal Government would mandate that your cable box be used as a “broadband gateway device”. To cut away the government speak, it means your cable box would control access to your TV, phone and Internet.

This is a dangerous precedent to set on many levels. You would be forced to buy a box that the government approves of. This would open the door for the FCC to both monitor and censor Internet content. If they have all Internet data going through cable boxes, there is nothing that says the FCC cannot step in and mandate certain sites with a distinctly anti-government bent be blocked through programming on your cable box. These boxes would be the wolves in sheep’s clothing of Internet information blockage. You would pay rates that the government sets and never mind that your phone conversations and cable televisions shows would now be under the regulatory guise of the government.

Surf through the dial on your radio or flip through the major television stations. All you would see is homogenized programming that is barely tolerable for anyone with discerning taste. Or you can hark back to the good old days of the last decade when Janet Jackson’s breast slipped out of her tight leather suit on national television and her breast was accidentally partially exposed with a star shaped piece of jewelry covering her nipple. It sounds R rated for sure, but nothing that would corrupt children. But no, the hysteria from the media was loud and the FCC was threatening fines and rolling heads. If you want to have that happen on the Internet, be my guest and support more government regulations on it.

Governments feel the need to regulate the flow of information because they know if the actions they partake in are shown the light of day their air of magic will be lost and their evil constructs burnt to the ground. They hate the Internet because they have no control of the flow of information through it. Their evil plans are exposed and they do not like it. Alternative news and commentary is the antidote to oppressive government. That is why they feel they must destroy it.

Cable and broadcast news are not an alternative to the Internet. They still have their masters and are answerable to their government masters. The FCC will shut down the greatest tool in the message of liberty since the Gutenberg printing press. This cannot be allowed.

If the government gets its way, the Internet will be much like television news in that it spews a lot of noise with lots of options, but ultimately nothing’s going on. Sit es like the one you are reading now will just be dust in the wind, while idiot havens like TMZ and the Huffington Post will reign supreme. Imagine, a world where your only source of information is MSNBC and the Huffington Post. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t seem like a world I want to live in.

I want to hear about how the world really is. I don’t give a hoot if Lindsey Lohan is getting piss drunk and flashing her snatch in a nightclub. I hope you feel the same way.

Richard Holbrooke: An Unofficial Obituary

It does not bode well for those who speak ill of the dead. Since I’m sure Hell is in my distant future, I’m sure talking ill of one dead person isn’t going to change my final downward destination.

All over the mainstream media, you have probably been hearing about the death of Richard Holbrooke via an unexpected ruptured aorta. He’s been hailed as a great diplomat and a man of peace, a man of the people and a slain demigod. Like most fiction stories, once the facts are shown the light of day the story falls apart like a house of cards.

Richard Holbrooke was a man of the elite. He was more comfortable on an exclusive southern Maryland golf course than in the projects of Baltimore. He would rather see a city laid to waste while its children burn than seeing the children of a city prosper from peace. He would rather put money into the pocket of foreign off shore central banks than see Americans have money in their pockets. He would have been more comfortable in a one world dictatorial government with men like him in control than in decentralized nations where the people rule men like him.

Richard Holbrooke was a Wall Street investment banker and a senior advisor to Lehman Brothers; a company known to cook its books to make their operation look more profitable than it actually was. He was also selected by Bill Clinton to be the American ambassador to Germany. Among these other positions he was the former Vice-Chairman of Credit Suisse in Boston.

Richard Holbrooke, like most politicians, was not above screwing the system to bring him favorable deals. He, among other prominent public officials, was the recipient of a favorable mortgage by failed mortgage lender, Countrywide. It was called the V.I.P. program and the lender was bending the rules to get these people severely inexpensive mortgages. (Try to get a lender do that for you!). This system saved Holbrooke and others thousands of dollars in interest payments.

The media has been lionizing Richard Holbrooke as the man who brought peace to Kosovo. The story behind that one is complicated and his intentions more sinister than given credit for.

In 1999, President Bill Clinton sent the United States Armed Forces into Yugoslavia for 78 days. During this time, 200,000 bombs were released leaving thousands of men, women and children dead and painting Clinton’s hands red with blood.

Then Clinton sent in Richard Holbrooke to broker a peace deal. Holbrooke went to Milosovic of Yugoslavia and threatened to send in NATO to commit air strikes and kill thousands more. Of course, this coerced “peace” deal was quickly adopted.

With all of his war mongering and elitism, it seems Mr. Holbrooke had a moment of clarity and a humanitarian revelation during the last moments of his life. On his deathbed before he was put under for surgery he told his doctor that the war in Afghanistan must be stopped.

Sometimes it takes one’s own mortality dwindling away to put someone on the straight and narrow. Holbrooke who had spent his lifetime causing untold misery upon other human beings finally saw the light. He knew what the Afghanistan war was all about and he was against it. Unfortunately, this revelation came to him too late in the game. Hopefully he will be forgiven for his crimes by higher powers.

Even though he was right in the end, he was wrong and inhuman during his life. Remember him, as he was in life, a water boy for the ruling elite. Don’t listen to the mainstream media’s pedantic praising boilerplate. Look into his actions. In a perfect world, he would be a war criminal and treated as such. Since the world is not perfect, he was treated like a God and will be put on the same pedestal as Jesus by those in power who wish you harm.

Goodbye, Richard Holbrooke. Unfortunately, we knew ye far too well. I’m sure one day you and I will be partying it up with Satan and his league of demons while we’re turned into rotisserie over an open flame. Cheers!

RIP: Four Loco


            Four Loco is an alcoholic malt beverage mixed with an energy drink. For those who enjoy Red Bulls and vodka and other variations of energy drink and alcohol, Four Loco seems like the perfect solution for those not wanting to take the effort to mix the two together. Unfortunately, you can’t find Four Loco on store shelves anymore. Thanks to the Federal Government and Chuck “The Schmuck” Schumer this product has been effectively banned from being sold.

            Schumer and other busy body politicians cited the health risk of mixing a stimulant and depressant together. Unless you are a drooling idiot, you know the risk. I’m sure the college students and other young people who drank this drink were well aware of the health risks involved but did it anyway. Why? Because they enjoyed it. They, within the market system, voted with their feet and pocketbooks to purchase this drink for consumption. They knew the risks but thought the benefits outweighed the hazard. Free commerce in society is human nature. You want a product because you either want it or need it. Someone with the product you desire has a need for money. So, you give the person your money and in exchange you get the product. It is how civilizations are built and people survive. Any violation of this, such as the ban on Four Loco, is a direct attack on human nature. It can be clearly stated, Chuck Schumer is anti-human. (That would make an awesome slogan for a sign in a future Anti-Schumer rally.)

            Aren’t caffeine and alcohol legal? As my last trip to the supermarket testifies, they are both legal and prominently sold. How can you ban the sale of a drink that mixes two perfectly legal products together? You can still get Irish Coffee or Red Bull and Vodka at any respectable bar. Why aren’t those two drinks illegal? Why is the government banning one alcoholic energy drink and not other similar products? The answer is simple: they are the government and every edict they give is sacred writ and any questioning of its word is blasphemy in the church of the State.

            How did Chuck Schumer make Four Loco illegal? It wasn’t done through a bill through Congress or a government lawsuit against the makers of Four Loco. No, Chuck the Schmuck wanted it banned like the good government nanny that he is. He made a few phone calls threatening the company, had a few press conferences slamming the drink and viola! It was done. Due to the threat of government force, the manufacturer pulled the product for fear of the holy sepulcher of the State from D.C. causing even more money to be lost.  

            This ban on Four Loco is indicative of a much graver problem facing our nation. From Joe Biden mandating BP to create a government slush fund after the oil spill to Joe Lieberman demanding Amazon stop hosting Wikileaks on its servers the banning of Four Loco is another example of politicians acting outside the limits of the Constitution by making private companies bend to their will; setting themselves up as petty dictators.

            Under the Constitution, the government cannot take away your property without a lawsuit, due process of law or just compensation. For example, the government couldn’t just decide to take away your computer for no reason without a lawsuit in front of a jury, paying you for it or a combination of the two. Since the current government has absolutely no respect for the Constitution, they have decided to take away your property at the behest of chicken necked dictators in Washington. Private property is what sets apart prosperous nations from poverty stricken hellholes. Whenever the government decides it has a stake in your property, as is the case in the former Soviet Union, only tyranny and poverty ensue. As your body is your private property, banning what goes into it is a violation of property rights. Any action made by government against that principle is a threat to both its people and to itself.

            The ban of an alcoholic drink may seem insignificant compared to the myriad problems destroying this nation from the inside out. But it shows the government is not afraid to use the Constitution as toilet paper while rearing its head into even the smallest aspects of your life. If it is not afraid to ban something as insignificant as Four Loco it won’t think twice about violating the things that matter. With the recent passage of the supposed Food Safety Bill and TSA agents having hand sex with travelers, our government has been violating our rights with a brazenness reserved for gangsters. We have been treated as chattel slaves and the government is not afraid to act like a slave driver. We are not slaves but a free people. It is time we stood up to this government that thinks the Constitution is just a piece of paper. We want to control the destiny of our lives. We know what is best for us and the government does not.

            Anyone reading this should send the government a message. Keep your hands off my Four Loco and give me back my freedom!

Cats And Welfare


It is the dead of night and I am sure garbage will be strewn all over the side of my house. Wrappers, rotting food stuff, chicken bones and other things of the smelly kind will be sitting there, waiting for me with my latex gloves and black garbage bag.

            This has been a persistent problem for the last couple of months. Having a weak stomach and an aversion to trash I resolved to find the culprit.

            I’ve embellished a bit on my description. Garbage isn’t dumped as much as it is thrown all over the place like buckshot. It originates from the over turned garbage cans and moves onward from there. The garbage bags are ripped to shreds, the food having bite marks of the feline variety. The culprit of this heinous crime is obvious.

            My next door neighbor is a stereotype. Widowed, ancient, hunched over, voice like a crone, temperament like an angel and avid collector of cats. Siamese, Persian or fat alley cat; name a breed of cat and she has it.

            Cats are not territorial creatures. They explore, get into places they don’t belong, go back home to the litter box, laze around for a little while and the cycle continues. My neighbor’s cats are no exception to the rule. I find them in my back yard all time exploring and climbing fences. Until recently, they never caused trouble or got into the garbage.

            On an unpleasant Sunday afternoon, after picking up the garbage on the ground and expelling the bagel I had that morning, I decided to talk to my tenants to see if they knew what was going on. Maybe they held the vital clue I needed to crack this case.

            My tenants are great people. Being twenty something newlyweds they pick up after themselves, are quiet at night and the nuptial arguments have yet to kick in.

            I knock on the door of their apartment. After about 10 seconds Maria, the wife, opens the door.

            She is a great woman; a sweetheart that knows her way around a house and a man’s heart. She stands about 5’7, average weight, luminescent dark hair and a smile that could light up the room. I hope to find a woman like her one day.

            The door is opened just enough for Maria to stick out her head. She smiles and asks in a cute, mousey voice,” Hey James, something wrong?”

“I just noticed cats are getting into the garbage. You know anything about that?”, I respond in a polite manner

            “Cats? I mean…I always see them around the backyard. I feed them all the time. They’re so cute!”, she says.

            I give a polite wave,” Well…alright. Thanks. I’ll see you around.”

            I turn my back and walk away as she closes the door. I walk back into my house to take a shower, ruminating on the answer Maria had given me.

            She was feeding the cats. The cats, being used to always getting food from this house, must have taken for granted it would always be there.  At night there is no food for them here. Being free loaders used to handouts, they smell it in the garbage cans. They take the food from the garbage cans without being permitted to do so, causing a mess in their wake.

            During my reverie, I realized that this was the perfect allegory for the welfare state. The cats were given handouts and trashed the place when the handouts were not there. In the welfare system, people who do not contribute one iota to the world are given free money, for them at least, and when the gravy train runs out they act like children having temper tantrums; but their tantrums lead to rioting and looting in the streets. The cats are given food that does not belong to them. The food, with Maria’s husband being the one that makes money, was redistributed from the pantry in their apartment and given to the cats. The money from welfare is taken from the taxpayers and given to free loaders in the ghetto.

            The main difference is people are not animals.  We let cats lay around the house and live off the fat of the land because we care for them like they are our own babies. They never have to make money because they are unproductive in the production of capital and always will be; that’s why we love them. They are a reflection of what we would want to be but cannot be for it would fly in the face of human nature. Unlike cats, welfare queens are the antithesis of human nature. They live like dogs and cats. They require the master of all, government, to feed them and make sure they get bathed. They have Cadillac’s, air conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter, DVD players, X-Box’s, an endless supply of cheese blocks and premium cable. All at the expense of the taxpayers while bankrupting our country and leaving us destitute on the land our forefathers fought to create.  Unlike cats, which we voluntarily give sustenance and shelter, welfare recipients are drains on the public treasury, put there involuntarily while acting like animals. Not human beings.

             I am one of the few people calling for the complete elimination of all welfare programs by federal, state and local governments. I am one of the few with intestinal fortitude to stand athwart this evil freight train coming our way and saying no. Even so-called conservatives are for welfare and social justice. All they believe in is slightly tinkering with the broken system while the problem is systematic and the whole system must be demolished. Reform is never possible in government. When government has a problem, the whole system it creates should be torn down and re-built if totally necessary. That is the main problem most conservatives overlook. You cannot run a government like a business or any other sane structure. It is a totally insane structure with no competitors and no ways to opt out of its control. You can run a government with a light touch and do whatever you have to do to keep the cogs from turning. But you cannot make it ‘efficient’ because it always runs at its top efficiency. It is efficient at force and extortion and little else.  Welfare is propagated by the outright theft of capital from the productive sector of society into the unproductive sector. It is a succubus for vote getting politicians while giving money to parasites that have no right to the fruits of your labor. The welfare system does not need a soldering iron and WD-40 to make it work correctly. No, it needs the wrecking ball to make sure the system cannot destroy anymore productive members of society.

            The moral of this scrawling? Love your pets and treat them right. But don’t feed the cat lady’s feline adventurers. And don’t feed anybody on welfare. They are already eating and living on your dime; don’t enable the parasites even further.

I'm Dreaming Of A Capitalist Christmas


         Christmas approaches while the bittersweet chill in the New York air kicks in. The smells of wood smoke permeate the air, holiday music fills the airwaves and the malls are overflowing with gift buyers. It is a beautiful time for everyone involved. It is a time of voluntary charity and gift giving to loved ones not coerced by any outside force but goodwill and love. It is not produced by government, forcing you to bear gifts to those you do not wish to bear to. Socialists believe Christmas is an affirmation of their failed beliefs. They are wrong. Socialists would love to turn this holiday into a swansong for socialism and full blown wealth spreading. From the gift giving, to holiday cheer for other men and to charity, it is all voluntary with no coercion. Let’s forget the socialists and look into what Christmas is: an ode to the free market.

            You may not realize this, but everything you will be enjoying this holiday was produced by the magic of the free market. Hundreds of thousands of individuals are involved in the production of the goods and services that you will be consuming and giving away. Every entrepreneur, to every assembly line worker, to the truck driver and even the person bringing the raw materials from the Earth have a hand in the production of your gifts.

            Lets take one of the most popular gifts this year, the Amazon Kindle e-reader, as an example. The miners and the mining company take raw silver and other metals from the earth. The mining company sells the metals to the semi-conductor company. The semi-conductor company turns those metals and other resources into the motherboards and circuitry of the e-reader. They sell it to the manufacturer of the machine. The manufacturer buys the plastic case from the molding company. The molding company buys the oil and metals necessary to produce the plastic case. The metal ore, for the molds, comes from the mining company and the oil comes from the hard labors of the men working the oil rigs and the oil company providing them with a salary. The molding company takes all of those raw materials and turns them into the plastic case thanks to the hard work of the workers on the assembly line and the molding company paying their salaries. The manufacturer assembles this motley crew of materials into the e-reader, thanks to the hard work of those on the assembly line whose salary is provided by the manufacturing company. The manufacturing company either sells their product to you or to a retailer. The manufacturer purchases the services of the delivery company to ship their product to your doorstep or to your local store. The delivery company buys their trucks from the truck company. The truck company buys the materials necessary to make their trucks from the mining company mining the metal ore necessary to create the mechanical parts and body of the truck. The truck company buys their tires from the tire company. The tire company buys the rubber to make their tires from the rubber farmer who gets it from the rubber tree and sells it to the truck company. The truck company assembles all of these materials into a truck thanks to the hard work of the workers on the assembly line whose salary is paid by the truck company. The truck company sells the truck to the delivery company. The delivery company is paid by either you, the manufacturer or the retailer to deliver the Kindle. They buy the diesel fuel for the truck from an oil company who takes the crude oil from the ground and turns it into fuel. The driving is done by a truck driver with a salary paid by the delivery company. If the product is delivered to your doorstep, that is its last stop. If it is bought by a retailer, the retailer must stock and promote the Kindle if they want people to buy it from them. They must also pay their employees to stock the product and sell it to you, the consumer. The retailer must also pay the cashier taking your money and making change if necessary. Finally you, with a salary or money from a business you own, use the capital produced by your labors, money, and trade it for the Amazon Kindle; and the cycle continues. But, on the journey of the Amazon Kindle, you are the last in line.

All of these seemingly diverse parties are only working together under one force: capitalism. The motive towards profit and the need to accrue capital are what puts food on the table and gifts under the Christmas tree. Under a socialist system, there is no private means of production so there is no profit motive thus arrested economic development ensues and severe economic devolution quickly follows.

            We live in a country created by capitalism, and we reap the benefits everyday. Even our poor, which government loves to claim need to live off the government dole, are better off than Roman emperors. They have color televisions, DVD players, computers, internet and many other modern amenities. They also have the ability to control the temperature of their domiciles, air conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter and hot or cold running water. I have heard it said that you can judge a society by how it takes care of its poor. If we look at how capitalism takes care of its poor, I’d say the society is looking pretty good.

Modern life is the end result of capitalism and free markets. Not the work of government programs. Everything you enjoy about modern life you can thank the free market and the innovation of entrepreneurs. There’s a reason why socialism is a corpse bureaucrats try to re-animate unsuccessfully and capitalism, even though much maligned by freedom haters, will always be alive. The free market is the natural order of things and will always be around even when outlawed. It just becomes a black market whenever the government tries to outlaw a particular force in the market.

            Capitalism is responsible for everything that you will be enjoying this Christmas. From the gifts under your tree, to the food on the table, the money in your pocket and even the tree itself are products of the free market standing as testaments to its power and glory. If we lived in a country that Barack Obama so wants, Christmas would be without gifts, we’d all be chopping down scrawny dying pine trees and standing on a breadline for our Christmas meal.

            When you are thanking the world for the gifts it has given you while praying for peace, happiness and other good stuff remember to thank one thing you always forget is there. Give thanks to the wheels within wheels of the free market system. Without capitalism you would not be celebrating Christmas. Without capitalism, you’d be homeless, broke and hungry on Christmas. Without capitalism you’d be living in the Stone age, killing deer with a stone spearhead while struggling to create a fire.

            Give thanks to capitalism. For with it, we are everything. Without it, we are nothing.

Legalize Insider Trading


            The American welfare state has bred a class that resents those who make a lot of money the old fashion way: with grit, determination and hard work. If you get rich this way instead of off government they look for their so-called leaders to take you down and take you down hard. As they collect those welfare checks and live off your tax dollars, you will be an object of scorn by the State for making money while doing it honestly with no regrets in your wake.

            This leads me into a controversial thesis in these times, that insider trading is not a crime.  It is a victimless crime that hurts no one so thus leaves no victims; hence the term victimless.

A crime is an unwanted intrusion into someone else’s personal space or property, generally by force. In this scenario there is always an aggressor and victim that is wronged in the situation. In a victimless crime it generally involves either two consenting parties that agree to a transaction that the State deems inappropriate or a distraction of attention from it. It can also be an activity that only you partake in either for your sole benefit or for pleasure that the State deems inappropriate due to its threat of distraction from absolute government power. The only victim in this sort of ‘crime’ is the government and no one else. Government, not being a proper human being, cannot be necessarily wronged against if not directly attacked. The only way it can be ‘wronged’ is if there is a direct threat to its monopoly of power. Thus, they will lock you up if you engage in activity that affects no one but yourself.

            How can be insider trading be victimless? Aren’t these money hungry men in business suits making all the money they can at the expense of the investor by withholding information that would determine what to do with a stock? The simple answer is no. This is an issue that is incredibly easy to grasp if we take it out of the hands of professional pundits on CNBC who are there to make matters look complicated, even when they’re not, to feed you the establishment line.            

            Let’s say you go to a psychic with the ability to predict the future with an accuracy of 100 percent; a true clairvoyant. She gives you information that there will be a war in the next month and a small aerospace firm in the Midwest will have the exclusive contract on building fighter jets for the United States Air Force. Or you’re standing in a crowded elevator and you overhear a whispered conversation that involves insider information on a large corporation that will dramatically affect the price of said stock. Is it morally wrong to take the information in any of the above scenarios and use it to turn a profit for yourself in the open market? Even when no one else but you and maybe one or two others are privy to this information? Of course not. Journalists, who love to heap scorn upon those engaging in this activity, are always undercutting one another and withholding information from their colleagues in order to land the scoop and the profit from a big story. What separates a journalist and a Michael Milken? Nothing, except their position in the halls of power.

            Anti-business liberals will go on to cite the victims left in the ashes of insider trading’s wake. Stock brokers and investors are nothing like gangsters or terrorists. The victims of  gangsters and terrorists are easy to catch. Gangsters and terrorists leave their victims corpses, which are pretty easy to catch; or at least I’ve been told. The victims of insider trading are either nebulous or non-existent. They either are monsters created in the imagination of Elliot Spitzer or victims of their own short-sightedness and financial idleness.

            While the SEC goes after insider traders this nation is facing a foreclosure fraud crisis perpetuated by real criminals in banks propped up by a private central bank, The Federal Reserve. Millions of homes are being foreclosed on where the bank does not own a legal title to said property. In effect, every foreclosure made on homes where the bank does not own a title is theft of property. Every time a homeowner pays their mortgage to a bank that has no right to collect it, the bank is stealing money from the homeowner. There is an aggressor using force to violate another’s property, the Banks, and a victim, the homeowner. There is a real crime the SEC and the FBI should be investigating. Not if a few stock brokers and investors is withholding information from other investors to make money or prevent from losing money.

            The government’s conviction on prosecuting insider traders is a good way to rile up people dependent on the welfare state for their very daily sustenance. They keep the lower elements of society fat, stupid and dependent on the system so they will never rise up. As statistics go, a few always have a mind and are a threat to challenging the system with an ability to lead others. That’s why you teach them class envy. Keep them hating wealthy people, keep them on the dole and they will get the others to follow them in class envy. Show them a few wealthy men in handcuffs, keep the government cheese flowing and the welfare checks in the mail and you have a reliable voting bloc. Insider trading is stealing to them and any argument to the contrary is met with heavy cognitive dissonance.

            Finance is not baseball. It cannot be governed by strict rules, similar to most sports, which aim to even out the playing field so the same team doesn’t win all the time.  Not due to the unfairness of the Yankees winning every night, although that would be nice for us Yankee fans, but because Toronto and Boston fans would stop watching the games and spending their money on causes that would essentially be throwing money into a bottomless pit that only breaks your heart.

            Finance is not a game. Its goal is to secure prosperity and economic success to those with the know how to succeed. That know how involves an acumen with numbers, intelligence enough to know what’s going on in the world and the independence to know how to make money. Finance is not there to make you bend over backwards for your opponents at the expense of your own success. Finance is not there for redistribution of wealth. Finance is not there for government to tell you how and where you can make money and why.

            It is time to legalize freedom. It is time to legalize insider trading.

Don't Ban Earmarks


There’s been much ado about the new Republican Congress’ quest to ban earmarks. They talk about how it will cut spending, no earmarks will mean no more money spent on researching the sexual habits of snails and it will be a sign showing they meant it when their campaign literature said they wanted to cut wasteful spending. Being the bearer of bad news that I am, it doesn’t cut Federal spending by a single penny while giving the President full power over the purse strings.

            There has been much talk about what an earmark is, without any word of its true definition. An earmark is a provision that directs funds to go to a specific project or directs a hyper-specific tax or fee exemption. Since Congress is Constitutionally obligated to direct Federal funds, the power to grant earmarks lands directly on Congress, being on of its’ core functions; one of the few they haven’t let slip away to the executive branch.

            The argument for banning earmarks falls apart on several points. As mentioned above, the power to direct Federal funds resides within the legislative branch. In the event Congress does not fulfill this duty, the obligation goes to the Executive Branch. The reasons against granting this power to the President are voluminous. The President will not make the process any better than it is now, the President will politicize the process by failing to give allotted money to districts with representatives that do not fall in lock step with the President and any more power granted to the executive is not needed now or ever.(Isn’t it funny that the Tea Party Movement, that supports smaller government, would want to give even more power to the President?) Banning earmarks seems futile when you know they do not cost a dime to be implemented. All they are, as mentioned previously, are provisions that direct funds to a certain project with money that is already there. You cannot cut the spending if all you are doing is banning where it is being spent instead of it being spent at all. It would be like shutting off a lighthouse in a port where the docks are full, but still letting ships in, while not asking the question, why do we need any more ships docked in the port? Lets imagine that banning earmarks would cut spending. If it did, it would only consist of 2 percent of the overall Federal budget and you would be wasting your time on such a small number where there are trillions to be cut on the elimination of entire departments. Earmarks are also a way for taxpayers to go to their Congressman and say they want some of that money back. Would you want to take away money from people who actually earned the money they would be getting back in favor of a bureaucrat directing funds to causes and people he deems worthy? What’s to keep him from not finding you worthy of keeping your money, that you paid anyway, and giving it to someone who didn’t? Looking at the track record of the Federal bureaucrats and their fondness for redistribution of wealth that scenario seems highly likely.

            Of course, people like John McCain and other fake conservatives will inevitably call you a big spending liberal if you dare question their anti-earmark dogma. You want a bridge to nowhere? You want a potato museum? Of course I don’t! There is a simple solution to nix unconstitutional spending in the butt that doesn’t involve any strenuous effort for your average Congress critter: vote no. It doesn’t involve any lobbing, any vote jockeying or even breaking a sweat. Just press that other button that you rarely press ever.

            I am not a big spender, as mainline conservatives reading this will believe. You lock me in a room, give me a copy of the budget, calculator, pizza, a copy of The Queen is Dead by The Smiths and a 12 pack of beer there will be trillions of dollars eliminated within two hours; entire departments will be gone.

            Where in the Constitution does it say the Federal Government should be involved in funding education, the Department of Energy and the EPA? No where! So called conservatives like John McCain and Mitch McConnell will go on TV and cite a few crazy things that were earmarked money. The whole idea is to cite the silly stuff to make earmarks sound like they are funding crazy studies, get you to focus all of your attention on passing a ban on earmarks while they vote for big spending bills right under your eyes. These professional politicians and creeps are pulling the wool over the eyes of the Tea Party members and they don’t even know it.    

            The solution to fixing the problem is easy. Ignore the pabulum coming from politicians and focus on their legislative action. If you ignore them, they will get the message. Sometimes silence is the best solution to getting politicians to listen to you. Imagine if they held an election and no one showed up. That would get their attention real quick!

            Tea Party members, you’re being taken for a ride and you don’t even know it. These cretins are blatantly lying to you, taking your eye off the ball and spending this country even further down the drain. Push for the elimination of the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA and every other unconstitutional department. Don’t get distracted and do what they tell you, do what is right and constitutional. You say you love the Constitution and want the government to follow it more. I’ll take you at your word that you do. Karl Rove is not there for you, Michelle Bachman is not there for you, Dick Armey is not there for you and neither is the national Republican establishment. Shake off the establishment elements co-opting you and do what’s right for the country: make the Congress critters follow the Constitution and stop trying to make it irrelevant or you will make them irrelevant!

I Have No Faith In Sarah Palin


             We are ruled by statist politicians with messiah complexes. Let us no longer turn politicians into tiny messiahs or we will forever bear the consequences of a society ran by messianic figures and their false idol of central planning. We live in the wreckage such small men and women create.

            No matter what side of the aisle they sit, their bible is force and their vicar is central planning. We can look at Presidents of the last 50 years and we see in them the worst our society has to offer; from WASPS with country club Connecticut accents to Harvard graduates with shady backgrounds.

            Even ones marketed as our supposed saviors are of this ilk. Take Sarah Palin, she is the Mama Bear from Alaska who can kill and skin a moose before you can say Marco Polo. She, or her handlers, market her as a true independent conservative come onto Earth to save us from the evils of big government, reverse the tyranny of leviathan and she even says some nice words against the Federal Reserve; she’s also easy on the eyes. We are told to have faith in Palin but I’d rather kneel before Moloch before I prostrate before her or any politician.

            Why do you have such harsh words for Palin, you say? She represents everything I stand against. Her foreign policy is Straussian, her domestic policy is liberal populist and she supports a leviathan state that takes the power upon itself to regulate what  you imbibe and what services you partake.

            She will say nice words to conservatives and libertarians that make people on both persuasions weak at the knees. She will say she will let you smoke a joint but still support a no-win war on drugs that steals men’s freedoms and wastes money on a fight that we cannot win. She goes to advocates of gun rights, telling them she supports their rights, yet she will nary take a single action towards the liberalization of gun laws. She will say nice words about the Constitution while using it as toilet paper. 

            Aye, she will sit in a smoke filled backroom while ten old men plot the destruction of this country. Just like Obama, she will set herself up as Christ before her followers while not implementing any of the positions she advocated while running for office. In short, she will do what every single Republican president has done, sell out their positions while absconding our freedoms. They will whispers sweet nothings that sound right to their base, while undermining this country behind conservative’s backs.

There is only one politician I trust on the national scene: Ron Paul. All others are lying to you, all others have nothing substantial to say, all others support the leviathan Federal Government and all others will work to have this country go the same direction as Rome; to the dust heap of history to be picked apart and studied by scholars of long dead civilizations.
