FBI Trying to Infiltrate Keene, New Hampshire

April 10, 2013 by Jason Sorens

The Keene Activity Center (KAC) is a place where (mostly) young libertarians and anarchists in Keene, New Hampshire congregate to talk philosophy, plan activism (including civil disobedience), and generally relax and socialize. Apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been trying very, very hard to infiltrate the KAC, judging from this account of the arrest of one of the club’s members, Rich Paul, on marijuana charges.

Yeah, those trouble makers who want to dislodge the Statist quo!

RANT: Boston has to be examined

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

The Plot Thickens
via LewRockwell.com Blog by Becky Akers on 4/16/13

“University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. ‘They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it’s just a training exercise,’ Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15. Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He’s been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.”

And the police-state still couldn’t get it right.

Hmmm. Or did it? Be sure to catch the readers’ comments: plenty of other skeptics out there, flinging terms like “false-flag” and “psy-ops.”

I too don’t trust the mainstream media not to be a lapdog for “group think”.

Within hours, the liberal press (CNN and MSNBC) were indicting the “right wing”.

Sorry, but I have no idea who did it.

I’m not even sure there was “extra security”. 

What I do know, deep in my heart, that we haven’t gotten, won’t get, may never know the “true story”. 

Argh!

MONEY: Tax deferred maybe a trap!

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

That’s the message in President Obama’s budget for fiscal 2014, which for the first time proposes to cap the amount Americans can save in these tax-sheltered investment vehicles. The White House explanation is that some people have accumulated “substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving.” So Mr. Obama proposes to “limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per year in retirement, or about $3 million for someone retiring in 2013.”

Interesting. 

When the big IRA / 401k accounts are thought about logically, are they not converting “capital gains” into “ordinary income”?

Would they be better off making investments in taxable accounts?

FUN: LOVE THAT LASTS!

Tuesday, April 16, 2013

“Oh, now there’s only one kind of love that lasts. That’s unrequited love. It stays with you forever.” – Woody Allen

Nah!

You hit the right opposite and you wake up several decades later and say “it was over in a minute”!

Interesting: What are emotions?

Monday, April 15, 2013

“Are there any particular emotions that you want to explore?”

I’ve always thought in paradigms and memes!

Paradigm = how you perceive the real world.

Meme = the rules of thumb in how you react and process your perceptions?

My (now passed) wife taught me “loyalty” as a meme. And, “acceptance” (still not sure what that is?)

What’s “emotion”?

“love”, “hate”, “friendship”, “fraternity” … … ???

(Beats the hell out of me!)

“Fear” is emotion to expect the worse when the cop hit me with the blue lights look of a drunken drive. (He just had the wrong night?)

Is there another “architectural” construct of human beings that I am as unaware of as “Sheldon” in TBBT?

Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL: Send girls to do “men’s work”!

Monday, April 15, 2013

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/11/oregon-man-pinned-under-3000-pound-tractor-saved-by-two-teen-daughters/

Don’t underestimate what adrenaline can allow you to do. :-) I’m filing this one under “Women Lifting Cars Off Babies”. Two girls maybe 120# each lift a 3k# tractor or a about 12.5 times their body weight a few inches. I don’t know why they bothered to get the neighbor’s tractor, they should have just finished the job!

GUNS: A lesson from history

Survivor who Defied Nazis Dies before Holocaust Day
Survivor who fought Nazis dies before lighting Holocaust Day candle. His story.
By Maayana Miskin
First Publish: 4/5/2013, 1:13 PM

*** begin quote ***

This year’s Holocaust Memorial Day will focus on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which took place 70 years ago. The uprising was the largest single revolt by Jews during the Holocaust.

Among those who were to be honored with lighting one of six memorial flames at the official state ceremony was Peretz Hochman, who fought in the Polish uprising in Warsaw that followed the ghetto uprising.

*** end quote ***

Take a minute a read of what one man did.

“…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939.

That time is coming to us.

Allow yourself to be disarmed and this is what you are agreeing to!
