Proud to be an American? You should be ashamed.

Karl Denninger hits the nail on the head once again.

The beatings will continue until......

Passaic, N.J. cop initiates an unprovoked violent beat-down of a citizen.
(Recorded by a restaraunt surveillance camera on 5/29)
Perhaps the saddest part is watching the looky-loo sheeple who do nothing but walk by while it's happening.... the first who walked by had a perfect opportunity to kick the JBT's teeth into his rectum... yet he pretends that nothing is happening.
And some people wonder why this shit not only happens, but gets more common with each passing day.

Government

Mandatory 'depression screening' for everyone?

How convenient.
Diagnose everyone as having an imaginary mental illness and you get to kill 3 birds with one stone: the pharmcos rake in billion$, the sheeple are drugged into submission from cradle to grave, and millions of citizens are barred from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.

We The People Stimulus Package: Thomas Paine Speaks Out Again

DHS thugs brag about stealing cash, guns and reloading supplies

And just who, exactly, are the real terrorists?
-
Note that the described activities took place on US soil.
Note also that none of the stolen confiscated items are illegal- not even the money.
Not yet, anyway.
Both articles mention heightened awareness and a boost in readiness.
Imagine that.


DHS press release 11Mar09:
"A trio of weapons seizures in Arizona and Texas this week highlight the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) heightened emphasis on tracking and intercepting illegal guns and ammunition near the U.S.-Mexico border under Secretary Janet Napolitano."


DHS press release 3Mar09:
"A recent batch of large-scale cash seizures near the U.S.-Mexico border demonstrates a boost in readiness and attention to money trafficking activities in response to the current drug war raging in Mexico, a major priority for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano."

Ron Paul owns Stephen Baldwin.......... Should Marijuana be legalized?

Market kills the Bezzle...

Via The Market Ticker:


"Be warned Mr. President - we are on the precipice of a tipping point from which you and our economy cannot recover for a decade or more, if at all.

Protecting those who have stolen the wealth of millions of Americans, along with their homes and jobs, is going to become singularly unpopular in very short order."

The Evil That Men Do: Willful Submission To Illegitimate Authority

by William Buppert

We live in tumultuous times that demand close attention to the yokes being placed on us. The US government is seemingly in the throes of a coup that is exponentially creeping and expanding into what was formerly a fairly autonomous province. Every sector and branch of human transactions that are palpable in this mortal coil is now being subject to regulation, taxation or both. With no authority whatsoever, entire swaths of American society are being subsumed under Leviathan state.

What is the authority or color thereof that these alien entities are gobbling up entire patterns of human existence? I have hinted before that the denizens of Mordor on the Potomac act as if their authority is unlimited and their ultimate reach is anything they please. We are witnessing a vicious brew of Sovietization and Mussolini-style state corporatism that will take a revolution to undo.

Tax Evasion vs. Tax Revolt

This op-ed from JB Williams at The Canada Free Press is a must read:

America is certainly headed for very difficult times and from investors to employers to employees and retirees, people of all political stripes are beginning to react to an overbearing federal government that is behaving more like a heavy handed left-wing dictatorship than a representative republic.

The US Constitution is being shredded, replaced by progressive democratic socialism. The DOW lost 27% of its value during the last six months of 2008. But it has already lost another 12% in the first thirty days of unbridled Democrat rule.

Washington DC leftists strong armed a so-called “stimulus bill” through congress without any real bi-partisan support. The people are now figuring out that it was not an “economic stimulus” effort, but rather a forty year wish list of leftist government run asset redistribution.

Talk of a second Civil War, another revolution, a Tea Party, are growing by the day as the new fed moves to confiscate private property and power in the name of a “greater communal good” and the “general welfare” of the people at large."

READ THE WHOLE THING.....

Orwell was an optimist

“A productive, free, and peaceful society cannot be held together by violence, surveillance, torture, SWAT teams, lies, and prisons. Neither can it countenance governmental policies of plundering the fruits of the labors of an entire population, and redistributing it to the institutional friends of those in power.”
-- Butler Shaffer

Stimulus Today, Disaster Tomorrow....

Liberty 01: A look at the near future?

Just a timely reminder...

That most of the shitbags who "hate your freedom" aren't a bunch of semi-literate Muslim desert dwellers eeking out a pitiful living as best they can in some third world hellhole.
No........ not even close.
The most dangerous threats to your freedom are snooping around right in your own backyard.
Shooting your pets.
Trashing your house.
Stealing your stuff.
Slaughtering women and children.
Persecuting those who dare to exercise their right to defend themselves against the insane actions of a tyrannical police state.
Ignoring the Constitution and prohibiting the free exercise of your rights.

Etc., etc., etc......

No.
The most dangerous threats to your freedom and liberty are currently infesting the Whitehouse, the Legislature, and the incredibly vast bureaucracy of this once-great nation.

Soooo..... what do you intend to do about it?

Stand up and defend your rights, your property, and your freedom?

Or get down on your knees and lick the boots of your tyrannical masters?

The choice is yours.

Pending Gun Control / 2nd Amendment specific Legislation: The Good, the Bad, and the Butt Ugly.

Alright, as anyone with more than 3 functioning brain cells already knows, the fuckwittery of the Bush Administration has encouraged the dumbest 20% of Americans* to saddle the remaining 80% of the population with a Democratic Socialist** majority in both the House and the Senate- that- combined with an incoming president who seems to have a raging woody for the failed policies of FDR- virtually guarantees that stupidity and ignorance will reign supreme on Capitol Hill for at least the next 4 years.

Predictably enough, that means that one of the major items on the agenda (second only to thoroughly fucking up what's left of a once-vibrant economy) is the attempted nullification of the rights that were supposed to be unconditionally protected under the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

With that in mind, I bring you a brief roundup of the firearms legislation that has been thus far introduced in the current session of the House & Senate:

First, the good:

HR 17 "Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2009"

Sponsor: Roscoe G. Bartlett

To protect the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use firearms in defense of self, family, or home, and to provide for the enforcement of such right.

The bad:

S 205: A bill to authorize additional resources to identify and eliminate illicit sources of firearms smuggled into Mexico for use by violent drug trafficking organizations, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Jeff Bingaman
Co-Sponsors:
Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] - 1/12/2009
Sen Feinstein, Dianne [CA] - 1/12/2009
Sen Hutchison, Kay Bailey [TX] - 1/12/2009
Sen Kyl, Jon [AZ] - 1/12/2009
Sen McCain, John [AZ] - 1/12/2009

Then the fuckin' butt-ugly:

HR 45 Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

To provide for the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain firearms and for a record of sale system for those firearms, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Bobby L. Rush

Interesting times, indeed.

*300 million Americans.....60 million votes for Obama. You do the math.
**I refuse to use the word "progressive"- that would be the hypocritical equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig.

Is it a police state yet?

ONE IN EVERY 31 U.S. ADULTS WERE IN PRISON OR JAIL OR

Jack-booted thugs beat & sodomize cannabis smoker

via the New York Post:
"A gang of rogue cops clobbered a Brooklyn man they saw smoking a joint, then sodomized him with a walkie-talkie antenna during a broad-daylight attack in a subway station, law-enforcement sources and the victim's lawyer said yesterday."

TSA screener caught stealing $200K worth of items from passenger's luggage.

Ahhh..... I feel safer already. Is anyone seriously surprised by this?

"As a screener at Newark Liberty International Airport, Pythias Brown was supposed to keep deadly objects off airplanes. But for the past year, authorities allege, Brown has been swiping electronic equipment from luggage of the passengers he was supposed to protect. A laptop here, a cell phone there. Within months, he had snatched more than 100 items, authorities say."

House Socialists plan second 'economic stimulus' package

Because , well, you know, the first one was such a freaking success.

Here's the deal:
House douchebag Nanci Pelosi wants to steal yet another 150 billion+ dollars of our hard-earned cash and toss it down the black hole of government.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Keep your powder dry, folks. Change is a-comin'......... and it aint gonna be pretty.
