Death by Emergency Plan
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

***Begin Quote***

A strange culture of emergency has taken over this country, and the slightest provocation triggers it. It could be an expected terrorist or just an old-fashioned weather warning. The officials are quick to swing into action, and tell you what to do.

The problem is that these demands are often based on nothing other than government plans that are not in your best interest. It behooves all of us to think carefully about genuine preparedness, which might often involve bucking the system and telling the emergency nazis to mind their own business.

*** and ***

The best approach to an emergency is simply to let people make their own judgments about how to stay safe. Instead, we have developed a system whereby a central plan goes into effect that applies to everyone. This is why evacuations tend to be mandatory these days, and why you are not allowed to rescue your own children from danger.

This brings us to the final presupposition of emergency management in this country: officials assume that you are their property. You have no rights, no freedom of choice, and no volition of your own that should be respected. Your one job is to obey them, and at least if you are killed, they can have bragging rights that they got everyone to go along.

At some point in the coming years, you will probably face this problem. There will be some emergency in which you will be told to put your life or that of your children in the hands of experts, who pretend as if they know what is best for you. Chances are that they don’t, and this emergency will be the time when you need to think seriously about fundamental values. Is obedience to authority more important than life itself?

Here’s how the government kills its citizens. It tells them to do the wrong thing.

I’d charge those 8 deaths to the Skoolz and Mandatory Attendance laws. Wouldn’t you? The parents couldn’t get their kids because they were IMPRISONED in the gooferment jail-lite aka the skoolz!

You have to love how Lew rips the argument apart.

It all boils down to do you own your own body. If so, then NO ONE has the right to tell you what to do. It’s your problem. It’s always your problem. The gooferment’s courts have ruled that the gooferment has no specific duty to protect you. So why do people think otherwise.

Choose life. Ignore the gooferment. Make your own choices and deal with the consequences.

Any thing else, you’re just kidding yourself.

LIBBY JUROR: PARDON HIM
Wed Mar 07 2007 19:21:48 ET

***Begin Quote***

MSNBC host Chris Matthews spoke with Libby juror Ann Redington on HARDBALL. Juror [#10] says she would support a Bush pardon for Libby.

Transcript:

Chris: You’re for a pardon out of sympathy for the defendant.

Ann: Yeah, I think in the big picture, um, it kind of bothers me …

***End Quote***

Sorry, Ann, your 15 minutes is up. Now is not the time to have reservations. You could have “nullified”. Just like the juries that tried John Peter Zenger. Just like the juries that effectively ended Prohibition. Just like the OJ jury. Just like any juror could do.

If you have misgivings, then you just say “not guilty”. Don’t explain it. Don’t comment it. Don’t answer any questions about it.

Just exercise your sovereign right as a juror and then keep your mouth shut!

Letters to the past: Iwo Jima and Japanese memory
Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney
23 – 2 – 2007

***Begin Quote***

Clint Eastwood’s film “Letters from Iwo Jima” finds the humanity behind the brutality of war, thus honouring the past and opening hearts in the present, says Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney, author of “Kamikaze Diaries”.

***End Quote***

Only a vet understands that brutal fear.

Even if you were a “biloxi blues” type (i.e., sent home from boot camp because the war has ended) of vet, you’re a vet. In the quiet time of boot camp, you’ve recognized that the training might even kill you.

(Humorously, I had an uncle who in WW1 was assigned to supply at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn. The family would always tease him when he would wear his campaign hat on Vet’s Day. He only held a rifle twice in his military career. Once, during boot camp. And, once to march in the NYC ticker tape parade for V-E day. But, he was a vet. I can still hear him saying to my grandmother “but, Sister, I could have been killed.” Then, when he wasn’t around, they’d have little jests about “killed by a falling pile of blankets”. But, they did always admit he was a vet. I thought the parade part was funny because there was a “shortage” of returning vets for the politicians to praise and a plethora of parades scheduled for politicians to get up in front of their constituents and “run for reelection” by praising the troops and the citizen support. So he had to do more marching in V-E parades than he ever did before. The powers that be stripped places of anyone with two legs and a uniform to march. Many times. Reminds me of today in some respects.)

Only a vet who felt the cool breeze of death understands. Only a vet who’s been under fire really understands. Only a vet who has killed an enemy really understands. Only a vet who’s been on the receiving end of injury or close to harm’s way really understands.

I thought that this was an excellent review. And, one of the comments really struck home.

*** begin quote ***

It was not called the “Rape” of Nanking for nothing, you know.

While America and the world rightly is horrified by incidents like the My Lai murders, are we now supposed to just ignore and thus condone government-sponsored murder, rape, theft, and arson? I refuse to “un-demonize” the brutal, sociopathic Japanese soldier (of any rank).

Little Boy and Fat Man. Wish we’d had them on December 8, 1941.

He ignores the facts of Wilson getting us into WW1, WW1 sets up WW2, and FDR steers us into WW2.

It’s really an indictment of the politicians. Who were not blessed enough, smart enough, or honest enough to steer us around these ghastly wars.

It’s really an indictment of the people who are not blessed enough, smart enough, or honest enough to say, to these supposed leaders, “no”.

Politely, firmly, unequivocally “no”.

So now we should be saying: No more “fresh young meat” to satisfy your needs! Bring all the troops home from all around the world. Now! It’s easy. Everybody gets on a plane, boat, or starts walking home. All travel order only go one way — home! Now!

Dona nobis pacem.

A call for separation of school and state
The Boston Globe
Seeded on Sun Mar 4, 2007 11:14 AM EST
politics, constitution, libertarian, libertarians, government-schools

***Begin Quote***

Once Americans may have agreed on what children should be taught, but that day is long gone. On any number of fundamental issues, parents today are sharply divided, and there is no way a government-run, one-curriculum-fits-all education system can satisfy all sides. The only way to end the political battles over schooling is to depoliticize the schools. And the only way to do that is to separate school and state.

***End Quote***

Clearly, the gooferment is pursuing its own agenda. Or, that of the 1920’s socialists who wanted a nation of good soldiers / compliant factory workers.

If the state skool can indoctrinate children with what ever the State feels is appropriate, then isn’t it immoral to force the parents to pay for an education that they morally object to. And, then by extension, isn’t it immoral for the State to force anyone to pay for a service that they object to.

If the State is my agent to whom I empower to act on my behalf, I can not give it powers that I don’t have. If all men are endowed by their Creator with the same rights that I have, then no one has a right that I don’t have. So if I can’t do it, then no amount of adding others, like me, doesn’t give the State any different power then I would have acting alone.

I can’t force some one’s child to go to my school, then the State can’t force parents to do it.

I can’t force you to give me money even if I call it taxes, neither can the State.

It is all just immoral. As well as being ineffective, inefficient, and just wrong.

State unveils aid hike
By:Joseph Harvie, Staff Writer
03/01/2007

***Begin Quote***

School, township officials expect impact to be small.

Increased state aid will have only a small impact on this year’s school and municipal budgets, say officials who are preparing the spending plans.

***End Quote***

Does anyone ever think that maybe, just maybe, we can’t afford education?

After all, does it really seem moral to force senior citizens from the home that they have occupied since the year of the flood? Does it really it really seem moral to indoctrinate future voters into the religion of gooferment? Does it really seem moral to teach children values that their parents disagree with? Does it really seem moral to put politicians and bureaucrats in custody of children? Does it really seem moral to engage in a middle class welfare scheme that allows (forces) women to go to work to pay the family’s taxes? Does it really seem moral to make taxpayers overpay for what passes for education of children of other people?

That doesn’t even address the issues of is it effective, is it efficient, or is it even necessary.

When you’re in Camden with a map of Newark, (or via versa), you might find that your asking the wrong questions. It’s not a matter if “state aid”, (That’s a joke. Our stolen money “laundered” thru various levels of gooferment. Minus handling fees of course!), won’t have an impact — big or small. It is a matter of doing what is right.

I think we’re making a very bad mistake.

Barring Jimmy Murphy

***Begin Quote***

Poor Jimmy Murphy should have known better, but he didn’t. He shouldn’t have returned home to visit his family while he was waiting for his green card.

I can see how this whole thing came about. He’s living in Iowa, his wife’s expecting a baby and they find a good deal on tickets to Shannon and they buy them. What with a baby coming who knows when they’ll be able to come again.

Unfortunately for Murphy, when his visit home was over the US authorities refused him permission to reenter the country. This is the kind of story that drives me nuts. Yes the law is the law and the law should be enforced, but there are details here that just sound mean.

***End Quote***

One of these days we will realize that the laws meant to keep Jimmy out will keep us in.

End the dole and end the need for “immigration control”!

Democracy Versus Freedom
by Jarret B. Wollstein, Posted May 1, 2006

***Begin Quote***

Vote fraud is massive, opposition candidates are often beaten or murdered by government thugs, and a small elite controls all power. Citizens have little freedom, but lots of poverty.

***End Quote***

If one looks at “voting”, perhaps we are going at this in all the wrong way.

In the US, we have lots of elections. Maybe we need “fewer”.

My thought is that we have a hierarchy of Municipality > County > State > Federal. Perhaps, we need Street -> Area added to the bottom.

My suggestion is that we on Tyne Court — all six houses have an election for Tyne Court Representative. Every named street does the same thing. Together they all comprise the Area of Upper Kendall Park. So, then Upper Kendall Park has an organizing election for representative. The Tyne Court rep gets to cast 17 votes (the total headcount who live on tyne Court) for a candidate.

So Tyne Court elects a rep, who elects an Upper kendall Park rep, who elects a municipal rep, who elects a county rep, who elects a state rep, who elects a federal rep, who elects a “king”.

;-)

Seriously fewer direct elections.

One man one vote is preserved by voting based on “proxies”.

I think it would be better than the nonsense we have now.

A Strategy for Forcing the State Back
by Per Bylund

***Begin Quote***

What this combined strategy all boils down to is a decentralized, voluntary, spontaneous, and for-profit web of actors doing what they perceive as beneficial and thereby replacing most or all of the State’s functions. It provides also a solution to the problem of discussing only what’s wrong and what should be – through doing right where the State does wrong. It means action where it is most important and where it is most beneficial.

***End Quote***

We need to “fight this war” with decentralized internet-like tools. No one can succeed with a head2head fight with a gang that is bigger better armed and with the guise of legitimacy.

I’d add another dimension to the horizontal and vertical.

The laughter dimension.

We have to get people laughing at the gooferment’s ineptitude. We need to get them aghast at the innocent victims of its terror tactics. And, aggrieved at the injustices perpetrated on them.

IMHO that’s an important component of victory.

The FAIRTAX: A TROJAN HORSE FOR AMERICA?
By Claire Wolfe & Aaron Zelman

***Begin Quote***

We’re likely to end up with both a national sales tax and an income tax. Even if legislation required abolition of the income tax (as HR 25 does), a “national crisis” would soon cause the income tax to be “temporarily re-instated” and the Internal Revenue Service would remain in our lives on an “emergency basis” that never ended.

***End Quote***

Sorry, but, I don’t trust the gooferment. Taxes, income – estate -sales, are nothing more than theft by an armed gang. And, while now, I don’t have the power to resist, I don’t agree with “putting lipstick” on this particular pig! The JPFO article makes many good points, not the least of which is that it conditions the sheep people to accept taxation by the government gang as legitimate. And, stealing from someone is never moral. If I did it, I go to jail. If you did it, you’d go to jail. But the government does it, that’s ok?

Nope, no fair tax for me. I’m not going to agree to being robbed. I might get robbed, but I’m not going to say “it’s ok”.

“because all the major candidates are deeply flawed. “

***Begin Quote***

The one candidate who has always talked about the real issues. This is great news. It will take a lot of effort by his supporters to give him a chance–he is not a friend of big corporations. When he was elected to Congress well over 90% of his support came from individuals. Anyone who is serious about seeing Ron Paul as President needs to be proactive.

***End Quote***

I can NOT imagine what a Ron Paul administration would be like.

But, I’d like to see it!
