Reinke Faces Life

> but not the powerful capitalists who corrupt the government,
> buy politicians and abuse the law to prey on poorer folks.

These “capitalists” are creations of the gooferment that gives them life. In a
Libertarian society, there would be NO SUCH THING as a limited liability company created by the gooferment. Sam Walton, Ray Kroc, and all the others would still do business but gooferment wouldn’t insulate them from marketplace discipline.

>How do you not blame the rich predatory capitalists who engineer these
>eminent domain frauds.

It STARTS with the guns of gooferment. I can LUST over Herb’s stately Kalet’s manor, but it’s the gooferment that allows me to take it from him by force. Legally.

>It would be even worse under a libertarian government which is no government
> at all, no rules , no regulations.

Sorry but the fifth Amendment that we used to have before the Socialist Supreme Court gave us Kilo came from the DOWG’s liberty loving ideals.

>Just survival of the fittest, that’s the libertarian way.

NO! It’s just that NO ONE will be FORCED to do ANYTHING. That’s survival of
the fittest. Charity will bloom because people will get to keep their earnings instead of giving it to heartless bureaucrats to dole out. With a tremendous handling fee.
Americans have always been very charitable. But they insist on EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT charity. Not just hand outs; hand ups. Everyone will be stronger as a voluntary society.

>Rich athletic teams use tax money to build their stadiums and use eminent
> domain to confiscate land from unsuspecting home owners.

That is a function of YOUR system; not mine.

>As bad as it is now,

Finally we agree on something!

>it would be even worse under libertarian rule

It couldn’t possibly worse. Let’s try it. Visualize the prosperity of the 1880 to 1913 before the big gooferment really started to manipulate us. Visualize the peaceful society prior to Lincoln’s War of Northern Aggression. Visualize the effect of honest money on the whole size of gooferment, the ability to grow unrestrained by fiscal discipline, and it’s ability to fund welfare / warfare by theft from the hated central bank that Jefferson and Jackson warned about.

And, don’t get me started on Social Security!

Don’t blame the Libertarians for proposing something different. What you advocate CAN NOT work. Force never serves as a basis for a peaceful honest society.

Insanity is doing more of the same and expecting different results. More force aka more gooferment will NOT yIeld different results.

And, you say Libertarians are insane?

FROM A NOTE I WROTE ON FACEBOOK

*** begin quote ***

As usual, Ron Paul gets to the heart of things: “Young people are not raw material to be employed by the political class on behalf of whatever fashionable political, military, or social cause catches its fancy. In a free society, their lives are not the playthings of government.”

No kind of conscription, whether on behalf of the welfare or the warfare sectors of the imperial capital, can be reconciled with freedom. Nor can it be reconciled with the Constitution. But those who govern us laugh with contempt at such arguments. And yet Americans persist in the delusion that they have a Constitution that limits their government. There is something deeply pathological about this. What else can be said?

*** end quote ***

Back in the Sixties, I was drafted. I made a big mistake then not to resist. My only excuse was I was a dumb kid. The youth here on Facebook are hearing a Presidential Candidate – O – say “National Service”. That’s SLAVERY in a pretty cover. I’d urge resistance. It’s bad enough that the tax and money systems make us percentage slaves. Try and figure out what percent you are. Good luck. My calculation runs between 50 and 100%.

The youth is going to get stuck with the bill from the period of 1860 to date. Us old farts ain’t going to be here when “the waiter brings the check”. I sure hope I’m wrong, but imho I don’t think so.

Ya’ll better vote with your pocketbook and obstruct the criminals in the gooferment. Remember Churchill’s line about when better to fight?

China opens its long-sought Olympics spectacularly
Aug 8, 8:03 PM (ET)
By DAVID CRARY

*** begin quote ***

BEIJING (AP) – China didn’t just walk onto the world stage. It soared over it. At last playing its long-sought role as Olympic host, China opened the Summer Games in spectacular fashion Friday with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry dramatizing its ascendance as a global power.

***End Quote***

Wonder how the folks in Tibet felt? Or them there Gong Falungs? The Christians? The Catholics? All the dissidents that were rounded up?

This was a celebration that fully ONE FIFTH of the world’s population are enslaved! No, the world gooferment’s had their spectacle! The circus is to keep the folks at home’s mind off the misery inflicted by one relatively small group in “power” on the “power-less”.

Of special note, the NBC commentator “let one cat out of the bag”. Or, would that be one very ugly pig without it’s lipstick! The athletes are paid when they win medals, including USA’s! “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca. I wasn’t shocked; Frau Reinke was. She thought everyone was an amateur. SO these folks are just “gladiators” in a Circus. Just like old Rome.

I have no interest in the Games. We shouldn’t be worshipping at the Secular Progressive Socialist alter of illusions.

Have no illusions.

• Time will appear to standstill to foster the illusion that NBC is televising “live”.The commentator let that pig out too. Twelve hour time difference between China and say NYC. Along with the snide jab, that China only has one time zone. (Why do we have time zones anyway. If everyone used GMT, think of all the confusion that would be saved?) So basically, the Opening was taped in China a half a day before, kept from the boob tube, until NBC could show it in “prime time” making a lot of money. (No need for disclosure there.) And, the commercial breaks were put in to make it look like it was real time. Small fumbles getting back to the “action”. Allowing them to edit down to the “money makers” (i.e., countries the American audience will watch!). A real time broadcast would NOT allow them to extract big bucks from the advertisers and deceive the rubes!
• The media will hype this person or the next as the next “star” — cute, smart, tragic — whatever will stick with you; NBC has a lot of billions spent by advertisers and they have to deliver eyeballs. (The other media will help, since it might be their turn next. Anyone know what ESPN aka ABC aka Disney ran against the Olympics? Little league Baseball. Little better than a blank screen!) You think the little kid marching with Yao was there for any other purpose than to get you “on board” with the program? Ever watch that farce about a stage managed war — Wag the Dog (1997) — where they Photoshoped in the girl and baby into the firefight? Same principle!
• Medal counts will be blared at you as if they mean some national superiority. The NBC commentator let the less ugly pig out that China had focused on the 191 medals available in “sports” where more than one medal was awarded. To bolster it’s national pride. Hey, with 5T$ (United States Federal Reserve Notes — what a scam we pulled on them!), they can buy all the “national pride” they want.
• They also tugged at our national game. Reporting breathlessly that baseball and softball would be out after this year. Sure, it’ll be out. There’s a competing entity Major League Baseball making money off that. Can’t showcase a competitor. And, who’d watch a televised Olympic baseball game. That’s why “women’s beach volleyball” is in; baseball is out. In baseball, there’s no possibility of a “wardrobe malfunction” like everyone is rooting for in “woman’s beach volleyball”. Suckers!
• And, of course, the gooferment’s line of who’s good and who’s bad was also in evidence. NBC didn’t want to annoy the gooferment. Iraq got applause. Iran didn’t. Or did they? Maybe I’m suspicious, having been manipulated over and over, but does anyone remember that these folks have “laugh tracks”. What’s real and what’s not. We know they edited for time and content. What’s a little applause here and less there. Especially if it makes the Masters happy?

Call me a grump or a cynic, but I’ll be looking in other directions.

Now where are the “millionaires playing for billionaires” aka the Yankees on the tube? Oh, yeah, over on YES network, nothing is allowed to compete with NBC’s Olympics. Lucky it’s on at all. Surprised the FCC didn’t intervene.

You sheeple are so easy!

UPDATE

http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/09/2231231&from=rss

Aparently, NBC altered reality by shuffling the order of countries entering the stadium! SO the USA would “enter” later during “prime time”?

Agh!

# # # # #

UPDATE

Apparently the fireworks were faked?

*** begin quote ***

A complete newb writes “London’s Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But – hold on – it’s not necessarily as bad as you think. The faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot.” To me, the reasoning behind the faked display is no consolation or excuse – it seems hard to swallow that NBC was unaware of this televised deception. I’m glad that it was good-naturedly “revealed” this weekend (according to that Telegraph article), but it’s disheartening that such a large crowd can watch (in person, and around the world) such a display and have no reason to realize they’ve been duped. What about when weightier events are at issue? There’s also a slightly more detailed story at sky.com.

Frau Reinke was upset because she liked them. Now that she knows they were tinkered with … she wonders what else has been “touched”? Like Obama’s borth certificate, the question is why?

6 Reasons Today’s Olympic Swimmers are Breaking so many World Records

In this article, the fact that the pool is deeper speeding up the athlete swimmers. Just one more way the rubes are fooled. And, the Phelps money is further exposed.

Suckers!

Massive Cheating by China at the Olympics
Rick Moran

*** begin quote ***

There is absolutely no doubt – none, zero, zilch – that the Chinese “women’s” gymnastics team featured several little girls no older than 14 years of age – two years younger than the international federation allows for competition. Online registrations of these girls list one age, their passports list another. This is blatant cheating – no other word for it.

Libertarian at 08824 has left a new comment on the post “Emminently sensible”:

I sure hope that some developer doesn’t decide that YOUR house is just the one he needs for his new dog house. The gooferment will fall over to take it from you and give it to him. He makes contributions; you can’t afford to. And you can go broke fighting the bottomless purse of the gooferment on a mission.

It sad we lost our Fifth Amendment rights in Kelo. It sad when politicians can decide “blight”. It sad that you don’t see where this socialism is leading us.

Oh yeah, it can only happen to other people. Funny how those other people are always poor?

A plague on all the politician’s houses!

Browning’s concluding chapter tells us what the welfare state costs us. He acknowledges the non-economic costs such as infringements on liberty and strains on the political process, but focuses on the quantitative economic costs. The disincentive effects of Social Security have reduced the GDP by 10 percent, the federal income tax (as opposed to a proportional tax) by 9 percent and past deficits by 3.5 percent for a total of 22.5 percent. He guesses that welfare programs have reduced GDP by 2.5 percent. The overall effect of redistributionist policies has created incentives that have reduced GDP by a total of 25 percent. Without those, our GDP would be close to $18 trillion instead of $14 trillion.

Welfare costs us in more ways than just money. It gives the politicians and bureaucrats control over people. And, like the young elephant, we think we need them!

Travelers’ Laptops May Be Detained At Border
No Suspicion Required Under DHS Policies
By Ellen Nakashima
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, August 1, 2008; Page A01

*** begin quote ***

Federal agents may take a traveler’s laptop or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.

Also, officials may share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

*** and ***

In April, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld the government’s power to conduct searches of an international traveler’s laptop without suspicion of wrongdoing. The Customs policy can be viewed at: http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/travel/admissability/
