What Happened on Flight 297

*** begin quote ***

If you were really paying attention, you might have heard about AirTran Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston, which was delayed on 18 November. According to the “official” version, (reported by Houston’s KHOU-TV, Fox News and other outlets), a male passenger refused to end his cell phone call, forcing the crew to return to the gate.

Since then, a far different version of events has emerged. Based on reports from other passengers, that “phone call” looks more like a terrorist dry run.

*** end quote ***

Interesting. Too bad we don’t have a “free press” in the USA any more. Getting some facts would be nice!

RANT: THe gooferment creating jobs? Yeah, right!

Saturday, December 5, 2009

How To Create Real Jobs, Mr. President
Posted in December 4th, 2009

*** begin quote ***

I hear some of the folks in Washington were talking about creating jobs and it just made me cringe. Obviously, out here in the private sector one does not “create” a job. We create businesses that solve problems. Some of those businesses require people to run them, service accounts, and build stuff. While there are businesses that don’t require many workers, that’s still OK, because the person who figured out how to do more with fewer employees goes out and buys a new flat screen TV, new garage doors, and upgrades the furnace. Since I wasn’t invited to the White House jobs summit, I thought I would mail in a few of my suggestions:

*** end quote ***

Dear WWDS:

Don’t quit your day job. :-) Not that ANY politician would follow anyone’s advice. But it can only be hoped they might accidently listen.

Cut the spending. Cut the size of gooferment. Cut the people free to create.

Note: Since the gooferment has several ways to tax people (i.e., direct unavoidable taxes like sales taxes, indirect yet avoidable taxes like income taxes, inflation to steal value from your wallet, debt which binds the current and future taxpayers, regulation that has fees, and direct theft by seizure.

On “corporate taxation”, I have yet to see ANY corporation “pay” taxes. By tax, I mean ANY collection from the company to the government regardless of label. They are just pass-along fictions to move along hidden taxation onto the backs of the people. And those sheeple are too stupid to realize.

Note: Impose a tax on a corporation and it passes it along. If the marketplace won’t pay the increase, corporation folds. So a “corporate tax” is just a hidden tax on real people. Only real people pay taxes.

If we truly want to “create jobs”, we must starve the pig that the gooferment has become.

A limit must be placed on the sources the gooferment uses to fund itself. Borrowing is the place to start. Don’t let them raise the debt ceiling. In fact, we should keep dropping the debt ceiling.

Then, we should eliminate the corporate “taxes”.

Yes, I said eliminate the corporate “taxes”!

Note: How fast would the corporate headquarters be coming back here?

Don’t forget, A corporate tax is any money that the government taxes from a company. So “fees” would be zero.

Repeal the income tax. Repeal.

Then and only then, will we truly be free.

All taxes, and other sources of funding, for the gooferment would be OBVIOUS!

ONLY REAL PEOPLE PAY TAXES.

Of course, the political class isn’t going to do this because then it would be OBVIOUS that the sheeple were being shorn.

Baahhh! Baahhh! Baahhh!

RANT: The paranoia in all of us

Sunday, November 29, 2009

http://www.michaelshermer.com/2009/09/paranoia-strikes-deep/

Paranoia Strikes Deep
published September 2009
Why people believe in conspiracies
Michael Shermer

*** begin quote ***

Conspiracies do happen, of course. Abraham Lincoln was the victim of an assassination conspiracy, as was Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand, gunned down by the Serbian secret society called Black Hand. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a Japanese conspiracy (although some conspiracists think Franklin Roosevelt was in on it). Watergate was a conspiracy (that Richard Nixon was in on). How can we tell the difference between information and disinformation? As Kurt Cobain, the rocker star of Nirvana, once growled in his grunge lyrics shortly before his death from a self-inflicted (or was it?) gunshot to the head, “Just because you’re paranoid don’t mean they’re not after you.”

*** end quote ***

Argh! “THEY” are out to get us. Violent people want to seize the power of the gooferment to exercise over us. If you don’t think you are “being controlled”, just try doing something the establishment (left or right) doesn’t like!

RANT: Climate-gate is a fraud

Friday, November 27, 2009

http://www.mrc.org/bozellcolumns/columns/2009/20091125064520.aspx

When the Press Favors Secrecy
The New York Times has no trouble reproducing damaging documents not meant for the public eye when the subject is national security — but not when the documents embarrass the “scientific experts” used to scare people about global warming.
By: L. Brent Bozell
November 24, 2009 10:39 ET

*** begin quote ***

The e-mails prove just how dishonest this left-wing global warming agenda truly is. And now suddenly, the New York Times has found religion, and won’t publish these private e-mails. Environmental reporter Andrew Revkin, who’s more global warming lobbyist than reporter, quoted – sparsely – from the e-mails, but declared he would not post these texts on his “Dot Earth” blog on the Times website: “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.” That rule didn’t apply to things like the disclosure of the SWIFT global bank monitoring program against terrorists.

*** end quote ***

Climate-gate proves that the issue is a fraud and the “scientists” can be trusted.

DIsgraceful! Guess they’l get a Nobel Prize for Science now.

Argh!

My own fault. I had it in my left pant’s pocket and it slipped out when I was sitting in a cab.

Argh!

The driver might not even see it. Then when he does, how would he know who’s it was.

I should have remembered the cab number.

I should have taken a receipt.

I should have …

Argh!

I call a few cab companies. Nice people. But good luck.

I was told call the licensing authority; no phone number.

RANT: Yet Another Tin Foil Hat Question

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=376

*** begin quote ***

Initial reports said there were multiple shooters. If that was the case, the scenario is much more plausible. If multiple shooters had opened fire from various vantage points–especially if they had rifles–it would have made unarmed resistance extremely difficult. That scenario would make sense. The “one shooter with two handguns” explanation makes no sense.

*** end quote ***

OK, gang, don your tin-foil hats for a moment and consider the question: “Do you really believe the Gooferment’s story? It’s another hard to swallow tale imho.

RANT: The gooferment IS the problem

Sunday, November 22, 2009

“Advocates of government control [of health care and insurance] want you to believe that the serious shortcomings of our medical and insurance system are failures of the free market. But that’s John Stosselimpossible because our market is not free. Each state operates a cozy medical and insurance cartel that restricts competition through licensing and keeps prices higher than they would be in a genuine free market. But the planners won’t talk about that. After all, if government is the problem in the first place, how can they justify a government takeover?”

RANT: Health Care Vote bribe

Saturday, November 21, 2009

http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/11/the-100-million-health-care-vote.html

The $100 Million Health Care Vote?

November 19, 2009 3:03 PM

*** begin quote ***

Karl 2 ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reports:

What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform?

Here’s a case study.

On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.”

The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.”

I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill.

In other words, the bill spends two pages describing would could be written with a single world: Louisiana. (This may also help explain why the bill is long.)

Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu.

How much does it cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office: $100 million.

from Cato @ Liberty by Tad DeHaven

The U.S. Postal Service reported that it lost $3.8 billion last fiscal year and that it expects to lose $7.8 billion this year. The loss occurred despite cost-cutting measures and legislation that allowed the USPS to forgo $4 billion in required payments to pre-fund retiree health benefits.

SO the USPS “lost” 11.8B$?

Grassroots: Blow up the Senate (not literally)

Grassroots — on the undemocratic nature of the U.S. Senate — is on The Progressive Populist Web site.

Posted by Hank Kalet at 10:18 PM  

*** begin quote ***

It’s time to dismantle the United States Senate and replace it with a more democratic institution.

*** end quote ***

Democracy is mob rule and the anathema to the concept of the republic.

The change from the States selecting Senators allowed the Federal Gooferment to create all sorts of unfunded mandates. We need the tempering of the passions of the day.

You may just get your wish of a more “democratic” state. When secession makes all the states go in their own direction, then you can run your state anyway you want. But, you won’t have the big federal gooferment to loot the productive class for your schemes. You won’t even have the rich to loot in your own state as even more producers vote with their feet.

Freedom and liberty is man’s natural state, because that’s the Plan. No one can drive a man harder than he can himself.

You’ll be like the aristocrats of France that can’t see the revolution coming.

The Dead Old White Guys were pretty smart, but they knew the problems of “democracy”. Too bad we can’t see as well.

RANT: Remember the Blue Hippo?

Saturday, November 14, 2009

BlueHippo Scam Collected $15M, Only Shipped One PC

from Slashdot by Soulskill

An anonymous reader writes “Turns out that those BlueHippo commercials advertising financing for computers and other electronics for anybody, regardless of credit, were way more sleazy than you thought. The FTC is bringing this fraud down, but not too soon. ‘According to the FTC, the company’s brazen business model continued without interruption after the 2008 settlement. “In fact, in the year following entry of this Court’s Stipulated Final Judgment and Order for a Permanent Injunction, BlueHippo financed — at most — a single computer to the over 35,000 consumers who placed orders for computers that could be financed during the period,’ the FTC told a court (PDF) yesterday. In the meantime, the company took in a cool $15 million in payments from consumers, who don’t appear to have received anything in return.'”

# – # – #

Why am I not surprised? And, how long did it take to get this fraud shutdown by the “regulators”? And who’s going to jail for the 15M$ stolen from poor people? After all, who has “regardless of credit”. And, the hardware they pictured looked obsolete to me.

What really caused the Great Depression
Posted: November 04, 2009
Walter E. Williams

*** begin quote ***

Professor Hanke says that the lesson to be drawn from business cycle history is that, if left to run their natural course, severe downturns are followed by rapid snapbacks. The 1921 recession is a good example where wholesale prices, industrial production and manufacturing employment fell by 30 percent or more and reached their low in mid-1921. There was little government intervention, at least by today’s standards, and the economy recovered naturally; and by early 1922, it had fully recovered and the nation was off to the Roaring Twenties.

*** end quote ***

So what are the bozos in DC doing?

Yeah, raising taxes, spending us into debt, and making “rules”.

*** begin quote ***

The pastor, Edward Hinds, had called police from his cell phone around 5 p.m. Thursday, authorities told CNN, but the phone went dead. A 911 operator called back, and the janitor, Jose Feliciano, allegedly picked up the phone, saying there was no need to send an officer, then hung up. Police could not trace the call, and no officer was sent.

*** end quote ***

Yes, I guess it was too much trouble for the doughnut eaters to go “protect and serve”. Wonder if the mayor, police commissioner, or one of the other komisars would get that response? Nah, I’m sure they have armed security details. Paid for by the taxpayers, of course.

The roach will survive a nuclear war. But, the liberals think that they don’t exist.

Why should the State be “educating” (aka indoctrinating) children?

Where’s the health-care bill?
Posted: October 21, 2009
Joseph Farah is founder, editor and CEO of WND

*** begin quote ***

After all, who can object to a bill that hasn’t yet been written? When someone objects to provisions of the legislation, you can always say, “That’s not in the bill.” And, of course, you would be right. Nothing’s in the bill. The bill doesn’t exist. It will be written after approval.

*** end quote ***

It’s all well and good to say “wait till we see something”, but by then it will be too late. And, I think this may be the watershed event, like during the Vietnam war, that brings the Fat Old White People, (as opposed to the Dead Old White Guys), out to the streets in revolt. The gooferment has steadily eroded our rights, like the DOWG’s feared, and may have actually stepped over the Rubicon. Add to their criminal actions with subprime, GM / Chrysler, takeover the banks, and one and on. Maybe The People will rise up and smite them. Maybe I’m a “tin foil hat”, but I think it’s going to get messy. Perhaps, even worse. That’s why I don’t think we can wait to see the bill. The bill really doesn’t matter. It’s the whole concept that is flawed.

That was what I thought the lie was. Based on my summer, with a birth and a surgery, I could not believe the overhead and price inflation caused by insurance companies. You can read about it on my JibberJobber blog, but understand that the hospital bills for the birth of my kid were about 60% discounted because we were self-pay, and we paid up front.

In other words, because we bypassed the health insurance system we were able to avoid 60% of the cost. Unbelievable.

*** end quote ***

My observation on the upcoming “Obama-care” where the gooferment will become — in quick order — my “insurance company”. (Yeah, I know what they say. But, I think it’s going to be “Medicare for everyone”. To paraphrase Judge Judy, “I wouldn’t believe you …” (i.e. a congress critter; any politician) “… if your tongue came notarized!”

If my insurance company screws me, I can go to the gooferment for relief. If the gooferment aka my insurance company screws me, to whom do I go to for relief? To the gooferment’s courts?

Just take my screwing and shut up!

But I was heartened to see that when we abandoned the military outpost in Kamdesh, Afghanistan, we destroyed the base, lighting afterburners, the smoldering waste of one more failed experiment in colonialism in our rear-view mirrors.

We departed this small base days after one of the deadliest Taliban strikes against our occupation forces there. Officially, our departure had been planned for months. Any bets that the leadership will take a hit for that bit of poor planning?

Not likely.

*** end quote ***

The People have to end this nonsense.

Afghanistan has been the deathbed of empires for eons.

We can safely withdraw if we do two things: (1) pull back all our troops from around the globe; and (2) end the war on drugs. Then the Afghan farmers can grow all the opium they want. AND, all the countries, who’ve been living under our protection, can pay for their own defense.

*** begin quote ***

Yet, many of you secretly applaud baseball’s version of socialism, euphemistically called the Competitive Balance Tax, which has resulted in the Yanks paying out over $150 million in the last six years to their direct competitors. Meanwhile, Robert Nutting, the dastardly owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates who pocketed $40 million in revenue-sharing alone last year, saw fit to reduce his 2009 payroll to $20 million by selling off the few good players he had. Such doings make those who cooked up the Oil for Food program look like pikers.

*** begin quote ***

Because, if it is true – and I believe it is – it confirms Obama lied boldly and blatantly about something so significant during the campaign. It would also confirm Obama as a close associate and trusted friend to one of the most despicable America haters on planet Earth.

You just don’t hire anyone to collaborate with you on your autobiography. You only choose someone you trust, someone who thinks like you, someone who really knows you and your innermost convictions and shares them.

The evidence is mounting that Obama selected Bill Ayers.

*** end quote ***   

The American People, in their rush to justly punish the R’s, has elected a “Manchurian candidate”. As we learn more, as the “legend” he’s created unravels, as he pursues hid true agenda, we are finding that we have really screwed up.

RANT: Commenting on a Progressive’s healthcare advice

Friday, September 25, 2009

http://channel-surfing.blogspot.com/2009/09/public-knows-better-than-pols.html

*** begin quote ***

We should be talking about a single-payer system, which would remove profit from the system (health care companies boost profits by denying care) and place all of us on an equal plane.

*** end quote ***

Sorry to tell you but then you will have a very expensive gooferment bureaucracy denying care.

Look at the VA (e.g., “My doc is trying to kill me”). Look at the Indian Health System (e.g., “Don’t get sick after June”). Look at Medicare (e.g., “If medicare denies your claim [for a Jazzy], we give it to you for free!”).

And, when the gooferment bureaucrat decides that you can’t get your hair plug replacement therapy, or that needed “experimental” procedure, to whom are you going to appeal? Your local newspaperman who urged this on you? Your Congressperson?

No! The gooferment is exceeding its role. Want single payer? Move to any of the lovely jurisdictions that have it: Canada, England, Sweden.

And, when you get really sick, come on back.

Progressives always want to give gooferment control. We need to stop this march to socialism before it kills us.
