POLITICAL: Socialism interferes in the private sector—via regulations, taxes, mandates, and bureaucratic controls

Democratic Socialist Plans Will Only Make NYC Worse
By Michael Chapman

*** begin quote ***

The Nature of Democratic Socialism

Libertarian economists have long explained that democratic socialism does not involve outright government seizure of the means of production. Rather, it manifests through layers of government interference in the private sector—via regulations, taxes, mandates, and bureaucratic controls. Each intervention distorts market processes, producing inefficiencies and crises that, in turn, invite yet more intervention. The cycle repeats, expanding state power and eroding prosperity.

A contemporary example can be seen in the Democrats’ push to extend Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire at year’s end. These subsidies were meant to stabilize insurance markets, yet their expiration will drive premiums upward. The government created this instability by intervening in healthcare and now seeks to intervene again—at an estimated cost of $415 billion over ten years—to “fix” the problem it caused.

This incremental approach is socialism by installments: policy by policy, the private market is replaced with a government-run one. Mamdani’s proposals fit within this framework.

*** end quote ***

Congress is a known cesspool for producing market distortions.  Creates more opportunities for “insider trading”.   How else do so many enter broke and leave grazilionairs?

How can “We, The Sheeple” stop this ever quickening slide into Socialism / Communism?  End “Federal Gooferment Benefit” programs.  If the States want welfare, let them pass and pay for it.  No more “sugar” coming from the Feds.

Also, eliminate all “non-profit” entities —  NGO’s, “Foundations”, and “Trusts”.  

End the cycle of “political contributions” that come from “winners” of lucrative Gooferment contracts.

Political contributions Should be limited to small amounts from “inside” the representative’s district.

Time to shrink all levels of Gooferment!

MEME: Something to remember this Election Day — choose wisely,

Tuesday, November 4, 2025

Something for “We, The Sheeple” in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk to remember this Election Day?

Your candidate is a self-proclaimed Communist.  

“The problem with socialism is that you can vote your way into it but you need to shoot your way out of it.” — Larry Lambert

When NYC becomes a “socialist paradise” like Cuba, at least the escape won’t be as far or as dangerous?

Unless this mentality infects the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee too.

“When hungry, eat your rice; when tired, close your eyes. Fools may laugh at me, but wise men will know what I mean.”

POLITICAL: Welfare was supposed to be temporary help, but it’s become a lifestyle

Brazilian Woman in the US Delivers Powerful Takedown of America’s Nanny State (Video)
by Margaret Flavin Oct. 30, 2025 2:00 pm

*** begin quote ***

A Brazilian woman now in the US took to social media to deliver a powerful and accurate takedown of America’s nanny state that has become even more visible during the Schumer shutdown.

“The left is so funny,” she began. “Workers who don’t work, students who don’t study, educators who don’t educate, and politicians who cannot lead, so they buy votes instead. But somehow they figured it out.”

“They create dependence and call it compassion.”

“They create victims and call it justice, create laziness and call it equality.”

*** and ***

“Now, I’m going to say something that is controversial, but shouldn’t be. I don’t think these people should vote, honestly. How can you vote freely when you’re being bought?”

“Welfare was supposed to be temporary help, but it’s become a lifestyle.”

“Worse than that, it’s become a political strategy.”

*** end quote ***

I’m impressed that this unnamed “Brazilian woman” can so aptly describe our “welfare” problem.

I’d be more impressed if she was identified.  Perhaps she’s an illegal and on the dole she complains about.  How would we know she’s not.

Part of being a “cynical skeptic” is to doubt EVERYTHING.  Even if it’s taking “your side”.  Perhaps, then is when we should be the strictist when exmining the “evidence” we like..

Argh!

But, regardless, the USA has a problem with the “Welfare / Warfare” state that we can’t afford.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: end the IRS and the FCC

It Didn’t Start With Trump

By Ron Paul, MD

October 21, 2025

*** begin quote ***

The administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used tax investigations against political opponents.

*** and ***

President John F. Kennedy used the IRS and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to drive his conservative critics off the radio.

President Lyndon Johnson also used the IRS and the FCC to silence conservative critics.

*** and ***

President Richard Nixon used the IRS to target political enemies. The Nixon administration also threatened television and radio companies with revocation of their broadcast licenses unless they provided favorable coverage of the administration.

*** and ***

During the Clinton administration, the IRS not only targeted conservative and libertarian organizations it audited Paula Jones after she sued President Clinton for sexual harassment.

*** and ***

During the George W. Bush years, the IRS targeted organizations critical of the Iraq War.

*** and ***

When Barack Obama assumed the presidency, the tax agency turned its attention back to conservative and libertarian groups, with a focus on organizations associated with the Tea Party.

*** end quote ***

So, let’s “nuke” the IRS and the FCC.

Seems like a good start.

Many if the abuses of power all originate from the Federal Gooferment “regulating” “We, The Sheeple”.  Since we are supposed to be a Federal Republic, the Federal Gooferment should only interact with the various State Gooferments that created it.  Leave “We, The People” alone.

Argh!

Let’s start Limited Government!

POLITICAL: Zohran Mamdani is a self proclaimed Communist; what are New Yorkers thinking?

Three men smiling, two in suits and one in a white thobe, in an office with bookshelves.

Zohran Mamdani’s alleged terror-tied imam ally, Siraj Wahhaj, once ripped the United States as “filthy” and “sick” in a hate-filled rant.

# – # – # – # – #

I don’t understand what the voters of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk could possibly be thinking.

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)

And, any reading of history will show that once you vote in “socialism” aka “communism”, it takes a violent revolution to get rid of it.   A lot of people die!

Anyone remember Mao, Pol Pot, and all the other Communist “revolutionaries” and how many dead bodies they produced.

Same thing is happening in the USA with “leftist” judges who don’t seek to protect the citizens and other innocent victims.

It has to stop IMMEDIATELY.

POLITICAL: The Epstein “Evidence List” is damning

The Epstein “Evidence List” isn’t just damning—it’s clarifying. No matter what you believe about Epstein’s past or fate, five conclusions can be logically drawn from the material seized.
This thread is for anyone who still cares about truth. 

*** end quote ***

# – # – # – # – #

FROM LUDDITE

Anyone think Epstein was stupid enough to keep a client list?

# – # – # – # – #

Yes. I AM. If this was an intelligence operation by — either or all — CIA, Mossad, MI6, Ukraine?, Russia —of some combination of them, then I believe extensive organized “evidence” was preserved in various places —his island, his apartment, in the archives of one or more intelligence services.

As evidence, I offer the “sweetheart plea deal” by the Federal Gooferment, the paintings in his apartment, and Musk’s assertion of a “list”.

IMHO this one is not going away.

And, the sooner the “list” is published then the sooner we can excise this “moral cancer” from out collective conscious.

Rep. Thomas Massie urges transparency on Epstein victim list, says names should be released
September 19, 2025
ABC 36 Digital Staff

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is calling for more transparency from federal investigators after saying the FBI has received at least 20 names from Jeffrey Epstein victims that have not been made public.

Massie told reporters that the list of names given to investigators has not been released and suggested two possibilities for why: either the FBI doubts the victims’ credibility, or the agency is protecting “rich and powerful people.” “This is not a hoax. There are more names. Those names are not being released,” Massie said. “The only argument for not releasing those names is either the FBI doesn’t think the victims are credible or they don’t want to embarrass those rich and powerful people.”

So, OBVIOUSLY, there is a “list” and it shoulda, coulda, and woulda be released!

Argh!

POLITICAL: What if you were acquitted but they imprisoned you anyway?

End Judicial Findings
What if you were acquitted but they imprisoned you anyway?

Five Ways the Feds Foster Mass Incarceration
Where did judicial findings come from?

Judicial findings are a power judges created out of thin air. It means that acquitted or uncharged conduct can be treated as a relevant “finding” at sentencing. This power has been consitently abused. Here’s an example…
How judicial findings imprisoned Ross Ulbricht for life.

Ross Ulbricht made national news when he was pardoned in the first days of the Trump administration. Ross created Silk Road which didn’t ban the sale of contraband items. Needless to say, federal police didn’t like that.

Subject: The Ian Freeman false imprisonment

Learn how it happened View this email in your browser How did Ian Freeman fall prey to false imprisonment, even though he evaded the IRS agent’s sting operation? Most libertarians are familiar with the Ross Ulbricht story. In review, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for charges that were not even tested in court, and for which he was not convicted. 

You are probably also aware that President Trump promised to pardon Ross during the campaign and then promptly kept that promise. 

Now comes another miscarriage of justice, which we hope will also have a good ending. You can help that happen. Ian Freeman was a libertarian activist in Keene, New Hampshire. He was also a partner with Mark Edge in one of the most successful radio talk shows in America, Free Talk Live. 

In a recent episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka I interviewed Mark Edge to explore who Ian Freeman is, my relationship with both of them, and how Ian was sentenced to eight years in prison, despite committing no authentic crime. Watch On Rumble OR Free Ian Freeman, with Mark Edge – Gracearchy with Jim Babka EP143 This story involves…

*** end quote ***

I knew Ian when I was up in Keene.  He was a passionate little L libertarian activist then; I think still is now.  He was always truthful and honest that I’m aware of.  From the facts that have been published, I think he got the “you know what” end of the stick.  He’s always been a persistent PIA to the politicians and bureaucrats so it’s no wonder that “they” decided to take him out.  An ardent ₿itcoin advocate, he was always using that to attack the Federal Reserve System and fractional reserve banking.  I think he was finally making a dent in the Keene economy with people and business using ₿itcoin, Goldbacks, Silver, and barter.  Can’t have that shaking “We, The Sheeple” awake.  So this fraudulent justice sent him to jail.  Many great leaders have been “railroaded” and here’s one case you can do something about.

Free Ian.  End “Judicial Findings”.  Start impeaching judges for their conduct.

 

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)

Time to take a stand.

“…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.)

POLITICAL: Term limits and some other limits!

Saturday, October 11, 2025

{tip of the old tin foil hat to @GuntherEagleman for the idea!}

Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman

There should be a way Americans could vote for term limits and bypass Congress.

If 90% of the American people support term limits, it shouldn’t be blocked by 500+ corrupt members of congress.

*** end quote ***

Of course, I’d add a few:

  • Maximum age for politicians and bureaucrats should be the full retirement age of social security
  • Minimum age for politicians and bureaucrats should be 21
  • Only politicians, who are vets, can vote to send the military in harms way
  • ALL politicians MUST be native born in the USA with each parent being a US Citizen
  • ALL bureaucrats MUST be a US Citizen 
  • Politicians and bureaucrats may NOT hold “dual citizenships”
  • All politicians and bureaucrats must publish all “investments” 90 days before executing them
  • Politicians and bureaucrats must publish ALL tax returns for the last 20 years
  • Politicians must publish ALL campaign contributions and “gifts” within 7 days of receipt
  • Bureaucrats must publish ALL “gifts” within 7 days of receipt
  • All politicians and bureaucrats must disclose all employment agreements within 7 days of receipt
  • Any Federal Budget deficit makes ALL Federal politicians ineligible for reelection

That’s all that I can think of off the top of my head!

Jasmine Crockett Provides Head-Scratching Explanation About Law: Committing Crime ‘Doesn’t Make’ Person ‘Criminal’
Jason Cohen
DCNF Reporter/Clipper

<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2025-09-19>>

*** begin quote ***

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on “Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness” Wednesday that committing crimes does not make a person a “criminal.”

*** and ***

“I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal,” the continually entertaining congresswoman said. “That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset.”

*** end quote ***

Most amusing quote.

I hope the voters in Texas take this to heart.

Maybe it’s me, but that seems “stupid”?

No wonder that the D’s are losing with quotes like these.

Maybe “three strikes and your out” is harsh criminal policy.  But surely “14 strikes and you’re still out” is just stupid. “We, The Sheeple” need the Judges to step up and protect us.

Argh!
