Report: Undercover Operation Reveals TSA Failed Most Security Checkpoint Tests at U.S. Airports

Isn’t it time to nuke George Bush’s TSA?

Obviously no one is attack airplanes because if they were, then they’d be succeeding.

“Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program” —Milton Friedman 

Shut down “Homeland Security”, turn “airline security” back to the airlines, and ask the “Department of Defense” to do its job.

Seems simple to me but what do I know; I’m just a fat old white guy retired injineer who’s a poor old senior citizen on a fixed income.

Argh!

A high school student in Maryland has been disciplined after kicking a chair out from underneath another student who was not standing during the Pledge of Allegiance.

The incident happened at Winters Mill High School in Westminster, Maryland, on Tuesday morning.

The student who kicked the chair posted video footage of the event on Instagram, calling the other teen ‘disrespectful’ and said he need to get his ‘a** kicked’.

The Pledge of Allegiance is recited every morning during morning announcements across Carroll County public schools, but students aren’t required to stand during it.

Sorry, but this wouldn’t be a problem if the Gooferment Skrules didn’t recite the Pledge every morning.

You have to realize the PURPOSE of Gooferment Skrules.

BRAIN WASHING!

It’s always been to create cannon fodder for the Army, willing morons for the factories, and useful idiots to vote for and be led by the elite.

“They can jail us. They can shoot us. They can even conscript us. They can use us as cannon-fodder in the Somme. But… but, we have a weapon more powerful than any in the whole arsenal of their British Empire. And that weapon is our refusal. Our refusal to bow to any order but our own, any institutions but our own.” — Liam Neeson portraying Michael Collins, 1996.

Argh!

Ron Paul Rages At The Decades Of Wars’ Damage To The American Economy
By Tyler Durden Zero Hedge October 21, 2017

*** begin quote ***

“Just think if all the money we have spent overseas since World War II ended, if that money had been left in this country to let wealth grow,” proposes Paul.

Had that happened, Paul says there would not be so many people using food stamps, the middle class would not be dwindling, and the jobs situation would be better in America.

While the American economy in general has been hurt by the wars, Paul notes that some Americans have benefited financially. Paul concludes,

“It’s insanity to think that war improves your economic condition; it improves the condition of the war manufacturers.”

*** end quote ***

Time to “repurpose” the Department of DEFENSE?

With all these “wars” that go on forever, “We, The Sheeple” need to stop these politicians and bureaucrats in their tracks. 

Personally, I blame Congress. They don’t want to take any responsibility for their actions. “The devil made me do it” is really the campaign contributions make me the corrupt venial fool that I am.

“Campaign Finance Reform” has to start with “Free Speech”. 

But, shouldn’t a politician be limited to raising funds within their own constituents?

And, corporations, as artificial creations of the Gooferment, shouldn’t have “free speech”?

Argh!

“WE” have to stop the warfare state.

I like the premise of the show.

(a) wonder why no one is trying it — maybe they are?

(b) I like how it makes the Gooferment politician so venial.

(c) It shows the police “protecting their turf” from an outsider with a better idea.

(d) It shows how people can be empowered to act on their own.

The corollary is that we are all reponsible for our own and the collective security. 

Get armed, trained, and pro-active.

On the Department of Welfare, Crony Subsidies, and Math About Vegetables
* If the Department of Agriculture were honest, that’s what it would call itself.

*** begin quote ***

The bulk of its budget, some $126 billion, is required by law to be wasted on welfare, farm subsidies, and such, but for the $25 billion remainder, the department has some discretion as to how it would like to waste the money on welfare and farm subsidies. There are massive programs for wasting the money indiscriminately, but also grant programs to spend the money in a targeted pointless way. An Austin gardener wants $100,000 to sell his hippie neighbors on the merits of organic produce? This is the place to fund that.*

*** and ***

*It should be noted that organic food is a good idea. But it’s an idea that sells itself and we don’t need the Feds making the case.

Identity theft would be VIRTUALLY impossible without the “Social Security Number”.

Ignore for a moment that the societal problems that the whole concept of “Social Security” has created, just look at the havoc that the “identifier” has created.

The Nazis tattooed numbers not hose they wanted to kill. Cows are ear tagged “identification purposes”. What’s the difference?

Not So Merry Men
By eric – September 30, 2017

*** begin quote ***

Calling it a “fine” doesn’t legitimate the taking-by-force of someone’s money who has not damaged anyone, for the benefit of the government – which is precisely what a tax is

*** and ***

These 4.2 million have become outlaws as a result of not having ponied up. Which triggers escalation by the “sheriff” – who revokes their “privilege” to drive. Very much in the way Robin and his men were forbidden to hunt the King’s deer in Sherwood Forest.

Sorry but the “motor vehicle laws” needs a lot of revisions!

Most need imho is that a license can not be suspended without notice by certified mail return receipt requested and a court hearing that allows the “defendant” to be heard BEFORE they are penalized.

Sorry, for as wrong as I think the MP4B = “Millionaires Playing For Billionaires” are, this girl ABSOLUTELY has a Constitutional right to freedom of speech.

I may have a different opinion, but that is her right.

The Gooferment Skrules are just that — part of the Gooferment. As such they have no power to discipline her for that.

And, by the way, isn’t this what we criticized the Communists for doing in the 1950’s?

Maybe “We, The Sheeple” will recognize that Gooferment Skrules are merely Gooferment Reeducation Camps in disguise.

Argh!

New York voters have no 1st Amendment right to snap ballot-booth selfies
“The State’s interest in the integrity of its elections is paramount,” court says.
DAVID KRAVETS – 9/30/2017, 5:55 PM

*** begin quote ***

A New York federal judge is upholding New York’s ban on voters photographing their marked ballots in polling places. The judge says the First Amendment is trumped by the law’s stated goal to cut down on election fraud via vote buying and extortion.

US District Judge P. Kevin Castel said the statute deprives a perpetrator of election fraud the modern-day means to verify that a target voted a certain way. That verification method is a selfie of a voter holding a marked ballot at a polling place, which would then be posted to social media, he said.

*** end quote ***

Then we’d have photo ids to vote and big prison terms for those who cheat.

Given that it’s the politicians and bureaucrats that “cheat” or authorize cheating, then that’s why the penalties are minimal if any.

Argh!

How about election fraud by a candidate disqualifies them from any office — now and in the future.

Argh!

US Provides Military Assistance to 73 Percent of World’s Dictatorships
Saturday, September 23, 2017 — By Rich Whitney, Truthout | News Analysis

*** begin quote ***

For decades, the American people have been repeatedly told by their government and corporate-run media that acts of war ordered by their president have been largely motivated by the need to counter acts of aggression or oppression by “evil dictators.” We were told we had to invade Iraq because Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator. We had to bomb Libya because Muammar Gaddafi was an evil dictator, bent on unleashing a “bloodbath” on his own people. Today, of course, we are told that we should support insurgents in Syria because Bashar al-Assad is an evil dictator, and we must repeatedly rattle our sabers at North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin because they, too, are evil dictators.

This is part of the larger, usually unquestioned mainstream corporate media narrative that the US leads the “Western democracies” in a global struggle to combat terrorism and totalitarianism and promote democracy.

I set out to answer a simple question: Is it true? Does the US government actually oppose dictatorships and champion democracy around the world, as we are repeatedly told?

The truth is not easy to find, but federal sources do provide an answer: No. According to Freedom House’s rating system of political rights around the world, there were 49 nations in the world, as of 2015, that can be fairly categorized as “dictatorships.” As of fiscal year 2015, the last year for which we have publicly available data, the federal government of the United States had been providing military assistance to 36 of them, courtesy of your tax dollars. The United States currently supports over 73 percent of the world’s dictatorships!
