POLITICAL: “Fix our schools”; wrong question

PROVISION #691 (10/17/10): Touch Matters

*** begin quote ***

The Manifesto, titled “How to fix our schools,”

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but it asks the wrong question. And, compounds the issue with a bad sentence construction.

“Our schools”. They are NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, “mine”. I get to pay for Gooferment Skrules, but have no input. (I’d shut them down. In an organized fashion. Over 40 years. And return the responsibility to the parents.) And, please don’t tell me to vote and lobby. That’s a rigged game that benefits the politicians, bureaucrats, and their fellow porkers at the trough.

The question SHOULD BE: Why are we using the 1800’s Prussian model for “schooling”? (Hasn’t the world changed a little? Education hasn’t.) That model had different objectives — cannon fodder, factory workers, and Sheeple to be led by the elite. (Notice where politicians send their children. Those are the elite. It ain’t us folks.) Phoenix University, home schooling, and Bill Gates are all clues that education is not found in Gooferment Skrules. Those seem to be nothing but training for prisons.

So we fix the Gooferment Skrules by growing out of them. First, we get Gooferment out of the operation over 20 years; 5% per year. Second, we get Gooferment out of the funding of education over 20 years. A lot of details to work out, but let’s set the direction to free posterity from the tyranny of out-of-control Gooferment.

There was nothing popular, local or personal about this artificial conceit of forced schooling; its purpose was to weaken people’s capacity to educate themselves, to break their loyalty to family, church and land in order to release customers and workforce for élite schemes of economics and social ordering.

POLITICAL: Taxation is the fuel of war

Friday, October 22, 2010

Well written, basic little L libertarian doctrine.

http://ncc-1776.org/tle2010/tle592-20101017-02.html

*** begin quote ***

We must choose a different course. No one who claims to be a libertarian can deny that taxation—having begun as nothing more than simple banditry—represents an institution nearly as ancient as Humankind itself. Nor that taxation is still theft. Nor that taxation is slavery. Nor that taxation is the fuel of war. I will reiterate: taxation is theft. Taxation is slavery. And taxation is the fuel of war.

TECHNOLOGY: Use multiple email accounts to identify spam

Friday, October 22, 2010

This is a guaranteed spam. It came in on the “wrong email account”. I use specific pre-defined email accounts for different purposes. For example, “bank able 1234 @ reinke doc cc” or “bank baker 6789 @ reinke dot cc”. Thus if I receive an email on ANY account but the right one (i.e. bank able message on bank baker’s account), there’s no doubt it’s spam. And, it’s not just bank name @ account, but bank name with random string to prevent a spammer from guessing. If I “see” an alpha attack on the account to find the suffix, I can just change the fixed part of the string. I’ve been preaching the strategy to any one who will listen. Since you have a bigger platform, maybe you’ll recommend the advice to your readers. fjohn, the big fat old blogger hisself

QUOTE: “You’re an extremist!”

Friday, October 22, 2010

“If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist.”

— Joe Sobran (1946–2010)

GUNS: When does a “child” grow up?

Should You Shoot a ‘Child’?
by Karen De Coster

*** begin quote ***

Unfortunately, so many people have been taught to always submit, submit, submit – to the government, to folks with badges, and to the criminals. It’s a part of the propaganda and conditioning process that is used to quell critical thinking and individual resistance. Folks have been brainwashed to believe that no property they own is worth taking the life of another. However, none of these reeducated citizens can explain exactly how it is you go about finding out what your aggressor wants from you. Kindly asking questions first with the intention of pondering over the answers will certainly get you a trip to the morgue.

In a car theft, the car thief wants your property – whether it’s for a joy ride or turning a profit. That is to say, he’s looking for and making off with an empty vehicle. By definition, a carjacking shows much more violent intentions. The carjacker knowingly and purposely confronts an individual (or individuals) in an aggressive manner and the end result for the victim is often violence or death. The aggressor may desire to take the victim along with the vehicle, or, as is often the case, the attack and ensuing response from the victim results in a panicked aggressor who reacts with brute force. If the carjack victim is a woman, there is the additional risk of enduring a brutal rape.

http://detroit.blogs.time.com/2010/10/11/how-do-you-shoot-a-12-year-old/#ixzz12XDCWZpd

*** begin quote ***

His voice rises as he weighs the questions yet again. How do you treat a child like an enemy combatant? How do you threaten violence, even in self-defense, against a little boy? How do you shoot a pistol-packing 12-year-old child so warped that he’s willing to blow you away just to steal a car whose dashboard he probably can’t even see over?

How do you not?

*** end quote ***

The news story calls a 15 year old a “pre-teen”. That’s wrong.

When a child picks up a weapon to do a felony, then they forfeit the label “child”.

We need some new labels.

A criminal threat makes one a “target”.

MONEY: Securitized mortgage debt may kill pension funds

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

http://www.lewrockwell.com/rep/foreclosure-fraud.html

*** begin quote ***

#6 Renowned investor Jim Sinclair is actually warning that the collapse of securitized mortgage debt could be the “final shot” that will wipe out many financial institutions across the United States.

The recent warning that Sinclair posted on his blog is more than a little sobering….

I am asking for your attention again because of the depth of the fraud and now the size of the securitized mortgage debt OTC derivative pile of garbage that is in the trillions. This entire mountain of weapons of mass financial and social destruction is now in question. I have been telling you this for more than 2 years since the manufacturers and distributors of this crap were called by the NY Fed due to the loss of control over the paperwork.

I had dinner with my former partner, then lead director of and CEO of Bear Stearns. I could not contain myself so I asked him why he did so much business in OTC derivatives which were certain to bankrupt them. The answer I got was it was more than 50% of their profit. The right answer should have been it was more than 80% of their earnings.

Securitized mortgage debt is going to be the final shot that kills all kinds of financial entities in the Western world. The biggest holder of this putrid junk is pension funds.

*** end quote ***

Regardless of the accuracy of this assertion, one can be sure that, between the Federal Reserve System and the corrupted politicians in the District of Corruption, this will become the taxpayer’s problem. fjohn
