OREGON CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE DAY… WITH ‘NO REFUSAL’ BLOOD CHECKPOINTS
Police rename Fourth of July weekend “No Refusal Weekend”
by STEVE WATSON | INFOWARS.COM | JUNE 27, 2014

*** begin quote ***

During Independence Day weekend, a time to celebrate US freedom and unalienable rights, Americans in Oregon will be subjected to a “blitz” of ‘no-refusal’ blood-draw checkpoints, as part of a disturbing trend that now extends nationwide.

Local news station KVAL reports that State police are re-naming Fourth of July weekend “No Refusal Weekend”, as part of a crack down on drunk driving.

Any driver who is stopped by police and refuses to take an alcohol breath test will be subjected to a mandatory blood test either at the scene, at a medical facility, or at the nearest jail.

*** end quote ***

Is this America or the “Pepuls Republik of North Amerika”?

Sorry, but as little L libertarian, I don’t want people damaged, hurt, or Heaven forbid killed by any driver.

And, if that happens, Society should demand “restitution”.

But, using technology that’s error prone and then, when the person objects, a “mandatory” blood test?

The Sheeple have allowed the “King” to take away their rights.

Happy Independence Day.

No man or group of men—including any group of men calling themselves “the government”—is morally entitled to initiate (that is, to start) the use of physical force, the threat of force, or any substitute for force (such as fraud) against any other man or group of men. “The Market for Liberty” Linda & Morris Tannehill (1970)

INTERESTING: A “dry” Las Vegas

The race to stop Las Vegas from running dry

Amid a brutal drought the reservoir that supplies 90 per cent of Las Vegas’s water is fast disappearing and desperate attempts to save Sin City are under way

*** begin quote ***

Outside Las Vegas’s Bellagio hotel tourists gasp in amazement as fountains shoot 500ft into the air, performing a spectacular dance in time to the music of Frank Sinatra.

Gondolas ferry honeymooners around canals modelled on those of Venice, Roman-themed swimming pools stretch for acres, and thousands of sprinklers keep golf courses lush in the middle of the desert.

But, as with many things in Sin City, the apparently endless supply of water is an illusion. America’s most decadent destination has been engaged in a potentially catastrophic gamble with nature and now, 14 years into a devastating drought, it is on the verge of losing it all.

*** end quote ***

I remember visiting Lake Mead when the “bath tub ring” was first appearing.

I say to my bride: “There is what happens when no one person owns the water. A private business would raise the prices to equilibrium. Selling exactly as much water — or pretty close to exactly — as is replenished. And cheap people would conserve.”

So true then. So true now.

The “tragedy of the commons” demonstrated.

GOVERNACIDE: War crimes?

Happy Custer Massacre Day!
By James Bovard
JimBovard.com
June 28, 2014

*** begin quote ***

Mosby’s men were vastly outnumbered but they fought valiantly to try to stop Sheridan’s torching of the valley.   Sheridan responded by labeling Mosby’s men war criminals and announcing that they would be executed if captured.  The North stretched the definition of illegal enemy combatant at the same time it redefined its own war crimes out of existence.  Six of Mosby’s men were hung in Front Royal, Virginia in September 1864.

In the weeks after the hanging of his men, Mosby’s men captured 700 northern troops.  In early November, his troops hanged several captured Yankees in retaliation.  A sign was attached to one of the corpses: “These men have been hung in retaliation for an equal number of Colonel Mosby’s men, hung by order of General Custer at Front Royal.  Measure for measure.”  Recognizing the perils to his own troops, Sheridan ceased executing captured Mosby’s guerillas.

*** end quote ***

The War of Northern Aggression was a very uncivil war.

Imagine what will happen the next time some State seeks to secede?

I foresee it in the near future. 

No one can possibly pay the debt that has been run up.

Collapse is inevitable.

GOLD: Everyone’s dumber than dirt

In 2013, Germany Asked for Its Stored Gold. HaHaHaHaHa.
By Gary North
The Tea Party Economist
June 27, 2014

*** begin quote ***

In January 2013, the German central bank asked for half of its gold back. It was being stored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on behalf of the German government.

The Federal Reserve said: “Sure. In seven years, maybe.”

This week, the German government said: “We were only kidding. We don’t want our gold. We trust the American government.”

*** and ***

There has never been a full audit of the gold held by the Federal Reserve or at Fort Knox. “Trust us.”

If the voters in Germany go along with this, they will announce for all the world to hear: “We are dumber than dirt.”

*** end quote ***

What happened to “trust, but verify”?

Argh!

JOBSEARCH: The risk inherent in the status quo of employment

Monday, June 30, 2014

http://smallbusiness.foxbusiness.com/entrepreneurs/2014/06/27/women-are-becoming-entrepreneurs-at-faster-rate-than-ever-but-are-still-less/?intcmp=HPBucket 

SOME ADVICE I SHARED WITH SOME LADIES AT WORK

Seems like this is a trend to jump on or tap into. Always thought that “women” made great “entry-pre-newers”, if an only if, they can over come “risk”. Over my career, I’ve seen several women make the leap of faith to their own business. What I try and point out to everyone (men and women) is that the “status quo is not risk free”. I counsel job seekers and potential job seekers that they must rigorously and honestly evaluate just how much is at risk in their current state. One tool is my “how much money do I need to have to get another job”. Age, level of education, hotness of field, hotness of your geography, level of position you’d accept, what’s your burn rate, how do you look, and unfortunately sex all combine in strange complex calculus to determine the risk of the status quo. In more than one instance, I have seen that calculation result in both gals and guys taking a different view of being your own boss. At least then, your fate is in your own hands. It’s a decision I’ve made three times with mixed results. Your mileage may and will vary. 

Anyway, have good week, which ends with “Independence Day”, isn’t that a coincidence?

POLITICAL: BHO44 impeachment?

Obama Impeachment: GOP Faces Three HUGE Obstacles

Michael Thomas
Storyleak
June 23rd, 2014

*** begin quote ***

It does appear that the Repubs may be waiting for the midterm elections to take back the Senate, and restock the House even stronger.  In which case they may be waiting for a pretext to impeach both Obama and Biden. In which case the new Speaker’s wife just may move into Michelle Obama’s bedroom.

*** end quote ***

I have oft opined (not that anyone listens to me) that “impeachment” of a President is the power of the MINORITY party to remove a President that damages their future chances to “suck at the teat of Gooferment”. (Why else would they?)

I cite the R’s with Nixon. He resigned ONLY because the R’s said “you’re toast”. Not that they care too much about him, BUT he was going to take all of the other lifetime R’s down with him. (Rats and the sinking ship come to mind!)

This blog post illustrates another “impeachment method”.

Should the Sheeple be so “offended” by the sitting President’s conduct, (which I think is “egregious” even by today’s standards), that they vote in the opposite party with a sufficient plurality and majority (particularly in the Senate), that impeachment is a foregone conclusion.

While drastic, maybe the Sheeple can be interested to the point of voting.

Obamacare, immigration, VA, and the collapse of “foreign policy” might just be enough to have these sheep look away for DWTS and vote for real “hope and change”.

I hope that the Libertarian Party doesn’t shill for the D’s and save them.

Argh!

JOBSEARCH: Shadowstats says 20% unemployment rate

Stone Cold Proof That Government Economic Numbers Are Being Highly Manipulated
Michael Snyder
The Economic Collapse
June 26th, 2014

*** begin quote ***

The Federal Reserve would have us believe that the unemployment rate in the U.S. has fallen from a peak of 10.0 percent during the recession all the way down to 6.3 percent now.

But according to shadowstats.com, the broadest measure of unemployment is well over 20 percent and has kept rising since the end of the last recession.

And according to the Federal Reserve’s own numbers, the percentage of working age Americans with a job has barely increased over the past four years…

*** end quote ***

Stunning!

And I have no doubt that’s closer to the truth.

Add all the folks going on disability, “retiring early” wether they want to or not, and the young?

It’s a national disaster and a disgrace.

Argh!

Slash the Gooferment!

USDA, HHS, Homeland “Security” …

Sorry but we are SO broke!

RANT: Ahmed Abu Khatallah aka “political theater”

Saturday, June 28, 2014

Suspect in Benghazi Attacks Pleads Not Guilty
Ahmed Abu Khatallah pleaded not guilty to U.S. allegations that he helped carry out the 2012 attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that led to the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

At a hearing on Saturday afternoon, lawyers for the Justice Department said they intend to bring a superseding charge, which could result in Mr. Khatallah being eligible for the death penalty.

Anyone else think this is “political theater”?
