Prison Camp Training: Rockford School District Edition

Education indoctrination : Defending Searches, Security Director Says ‘Every School Has Drugs In It’

*** begin quote *** 

The ACLU of Michigan, however, sees things differently. “It turns students into suspects in a place where they should be nurturing them and focusing on their learning,” Mark Allen, the agency’s spokesman, told Mlive.com. “There are ways to do a search that are more narrow and don’t implicate people’s privacy rights.”

*** end quote ***

Let’s remember the true purpose of the Prussian Model Gooferment Skrules:

  • cannon fodder for the Army,
  • willing morons for the factories, and
  • useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite

Sorry, but throw in the “dumbing down” Common Core and the virtual insessent Brain Washing about Mother Earth and Father State, what else is this but training for prison?

Argh!

POLITICAL: Eminent Domain is abused by politicians and bureaucrats

Thursday, November 13, 2014

City To Bulldoze 350 Working Class Homes To Build Fancy Stores – Thanks To Federal Funds
Written by: Daniel Jennings  Current Events
November 5, 2014

*** begin quote ***

An Indiana city is planning to use eminent domain to bulldoze a 74-year-old neighborhood to make way for a real estate development.The city of Charlestown wants to demolish 354 homes for new residential development, and it would pay for it with federal funds.

Charlestown’s city council has declared the entire neighborhood of Pleasant Ridge — where some families have owned homes for more than 40 years — “blighted.” By using that term, it can throw out the mostly working class residents and tear down their homes to make way for new retail and residential development.

*** end quote ***

“Eminent Domain” was never intended to allow politicians and bureaucrats to be in the Real Estate business.

“Blighted” is a loaded term.

Transient my <synonym for donkey>!

Argh!

POLITICAL: Separate Health Insurance from employment

Wednesday, November 12, 2014

On a slightly different note, while I think Obamacare is a giant FAIL on so many points, I do think that it demonstrates the need to end associating medical insurance with one’s employment.

Car Insurance should be the model. You don’t lose your car insurance if you change jobs.

Let WalMart, Credit Unions, Fraternal Organizations sell Group Medical Insurance.

Just like Life Insurance!

Did you know that the Knights of Columbus invented Life Insurance for the poor working men. And, it took off like wildfire. My maternal great grandmother, a Protestant, bought in for her brothers by claiming they were Catholic. Until Met Life came along with a better rate. (Laugh!)

Obamacare may have given us lemons, but we can make lemonade out of it.

Then on to “pension reform”.

POLITICAL: World War I was a national disaster

HOW WORLD WAR I CHANGED AMERICA
31st July 2014 by: Tom Woods

Robert Higgs joined me today as World War I week continues on the Tom Woods Show. Bob, a scholar of government growth (among many other things) is uniquely qualified to discuss the institutional and other changes in American life that resulted from the Great War.

# – # – #  

There is no doubt that the “Peace Candidate” Wilson put the USA into the European War.

There is no doubt that the Federal Reserve allow Wilson to “pay” for WW1.

There is no doubt that the draft was involuntary servitude.

There is no doubt that the USA was an isolationist (i.e., Swiss) neutral.

There is no doubt that the Lusitania was carrying munitions in violation of Neutrality.

There is no doubt that the Armistice set the stage for Hitler and WW2.

And, when we gather for 11/11 at 11AM, we should all pray Dona Nobis Pacem!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Amateur” student athletes

Sunday, November 9, 2014

Scholar-Athlete Charade
By Walter E. Williams
November 4, 2014

*** begin quote ***

Let’s look at the motivation for this gross academic fraud. If you said follow the money, go to the head of the class. UNC’s basketball team generates $20 million in profits for the university. Football generates $22 million. Basketball and football coaches are paid salaries in excess of $2 million. The only way a university can pay those salaries and generate that kind of revenue is to assemble a winning team. That means many universities are more interested in an athlete’s playing skills than in his academic skills. In other words, whether a student can read, write and compute means little compared with whether he can slam-dunk a basketball or make touchdowns.

*** end quote ***

Gooferment Skrules are a national disgrace.

We should separate Gooferment from all sorts of things that it shouldn’t be involved in.

Church, Education, etc. etc. etc.

How did “We, The Sheeple” ever allow the Federal Gooferment to take on a life of its own.

GOLDBUG: Have skills and things of value

Saturday, November 8, 2014

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/11/alasdair-macleod/chinas-gold-strategy/

China’s Gold Strategy
By Alasdair Macleod
GoldMoney.com
November 1, 2014

*** begin quote ***

Since 2002, the Chinese state has almost certainly acquired by these means a further 5,000 tonnes or more. Allowing the public to buy gold, as well as satisfying the public’s desire for owning it, also reduces the need for currency intervention to stop the renminbi rising. Therefore the Chinese state has probably accumulated between 20,000 and 30,000 tonnes since 1983, and has no need to acquire any more through market purchases given her own refineries are supplying over 500 tonnes per annum.

*** end quote ***

The “barbarous relic”?

Now if the Chinese are good “Communists”, then why stockpile gold?

Maybe because they take a 1,000 year view!

The Swiss will vote on Gold and their national bank. While the jury is still out until the end of the month, either way, you have to wonder why folks don’t trust paper money.

I sure don’t. I remember the grandparents talking about the Great Depression.

Be nice to have skills and things of value WHEN the SHTF!

SECURITY: STUPID secondary identification

Friday, November 7, 2014

How Hackers Reportedly Side-Stepped Google’s Two-Factor Authentication
Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan

*** begin quote ***

Writing on Ello, Blakeman describes how hackers gained access to his Instagram account through his Gmail. Even though he had two-factor turned on, the hackers were able to reset his Instagram password through Gmail and take control of his account (which has since been restored). So how did they do it? Blakeman says that Wired’s Mat Honan, himself a veteran of an epic hack, helped him by suggesting he check with his cellphone provider.

It turns out his number had been forwarded to a different number—which is how the hackers gained access:

“The attack actually started with my cell phone provider, which somehow allowed some level of access or social engineering into my Google account, which then allowed the hackers to receive a password reset email from Instagram, giving them control of the account.”

*** end quote ***

I suspect it’s those STUPID secondary identification authenticators!

Once again, if your mother’s maiden name isn’t “R2D2GMAIL” at Google and “R2D2AMAZON” at Amazon, then you are asking to be hacked.

Sorry, but, I use LASTPASS and just keep the secondaries in the notes. 

AND, I never reuse a password anywhere!

YMMV.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Corporatist Sports Scam Olympic

Thursday, November 6, 2014

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/11/ryan-mcmaken/the-biggest-crony-sports-scam-of-them-all/

The Olympics: The Biggest Corporatist Sports Scam of All
By Ryan McMaken
Mises.org
November 1, 2014

*** begin quote ***

The 2022 Olympics (i.e., the Winter Games) is now down to only two applicant nations: China and Kazakhstan. This follows the withdrawal of Norway after the taxpayers of Norway balked on ponying up the cash necessary to make the Olympics a playground for the world’s richest cronies and politicians.

Theoretically, the Olympics are a private organization, but in practice, it is a corporatist organization run by plutocrats whose mission in life is apparently to squeeze as much tax revenue as possible out of the residents of the countries and cities that host the Olympics. This is done by demanding the usual brand-spanking new stadiums and facilities from the host cities that later become white elephants. But the IOC also demands countless perks for itself, such as only the finest food and drink, and special driving lanes on streets and highways. (See photos of the abandoned Olympics facilities in Athens.)

*** end quote ***

Talk about malinvestment, the “Olympics” takes the cake.

But “We, The Sheeple” still buy into it.

And, the Taxpayers pay for it.
