Senator Harkin introduces a bill which would require the president to develop a centrally planned manufacturing strategy.: “

The contempt for the market and the freedom of the average individual seems to have no bounds for some of our politicians. They have absolutely no understanding of the natural order of things, or efficiency, or innovation, or creativity. They always want to manage. They want to get into everyone’s business. They want control.

 

And that’s what it really is all about folks- control. Many people in Washington DC do not consider you capable of making your own decisions. You are little more than chattel, serfs, drones (the non-flying kind) to be shuffled and prodded to do the will of those who know what is best for society.

A free individual? Don’t be so naive. You are not free. Frankly you should give up such quaint notions and capitulate. You’ll be much happier as a cog. You’ll see.

Let’s plan everything in this country. And let’s let Tom Harkin and the President do it. I am sure it will all work out great.

(From The Business Insider)

In effect, Senator Harkin wants the President to centrally plan the economy. Never mind that the President has zero experience in business or manufacturing. But hey, this worked out so well for Stalinist Russia, it’s no wonder Mr. Harkin wants to copy that model.

Can you imagine a worse idea?

I can’t. We already have too much interference in the free market. Or, the facsimile we have of one!

Employers Blast Fees From New Health Law
Employers are bracing for a little-noticed fee in the federal health-care law that will charge them $63 for each person they insure next year, one of the clearest cost increases companies face when the law takes full effect.

Companies and other plan providers will together pay $25 billion over three years to create a fund for insurance companies to offset the cost of covering people with high medical bills.

***********

Ok you dumb sheeple, do you understand that employers don’t pay anything?

This is 63$ per head that you ain’t gonna earn!

People are so dumb!!!

Corporations, business, industry are fictions.

Only real individuals pay.

EVER!!!!

You dumb idiots!

RANT: Police Departments Becoming Mini Armies Thanks to DOD and Homeland Security

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Police Departments Becoming Mini Armies Thanks to DOD and Homeland Security: “

SWAT cc cc

We’ve written before on the militarization of police departments across the country. From big cities to tiny towns the police are receiving funds and equipment from the federal government for armored vehicles, military grade weaponry, armor, training, and nearly everything else needed to militarize the police.

 

It certainly makes sense for police departments to have the tools they need to meet evolving threats. However, since the September 11th 2001 attacks all caution has been thrown to the wind, and nearly $34 billion in federal funds have found their way to local police departments. That equates to big business.

(From Occupycorporatism.com)

DHS grants to LPDs have totaled $34 billion as defense contracts continue to come without fail. Riot gear, military-grade weapons and training are becoming common place in cities and townships across the nation.

Timothy Lynch, director of the criminal justice project at the Cato Institute,states: ‘What is most worrisome to us is that the line that has traditionally separated the military from civilian policing is fading away. We see it as one of the most disturbing trends in the criminal justice area — the militarization of police tactics.’

RANT: The illusion of “free speech” about the Gooferment!

Thursday, March 7, 2013

Conservatives, liberals, media advocates rally behind man jailed for criticizing Indiana judge

Published March 03, 2013

FoxNews.com

A group of free-speech advocates is rallying behind an Indiana inmate serving two years for his online rants against a judge who took away his child-custody rights during a divorce case.

There’s no disputing that Daniel Brewington’s words were strong and angry — found in hundreds of emails over the course of the related, two-year divorce case.

But the group is asking the state’s highest court to decide whether they indeed amounted to criminal behavior.

Brewington was convicted in 2011 of perjury, intimidating a judge and attempting to obstruct justice — with the attorney general’s office successfully arguing that his threat was to expose the judge to “hatred, contempt, disgrace or ridicule.”

However, the group recently filed an amicus brief with the state Supreme Court arguing an appeals court decision in January upholding the felony intimidation charge threatens constitutionally protected speech about public officials.

*****

Don’t think we have “free speech” in this country?

Sorry, but the “courts” are merely there to provide an illusion of legitimacy!

Argh!!!

CO: Secret energy lab spawns million dollar govt employee

By Tori Richards / November 24, 2012 / Colorado Watchdog

*** begin quote ***

GOLDEN, Colo. – The federal government’s dream of a renewable energy empire hinges on a scrubby outpost here, where scientists and executives doggedly explore a

If you live outside Colorado, you probably haven’t heard of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory – NREL for short. It’s the place where solar panels, windmills and corn are deemed the energy source of the future and companies who support such endeavors are courted.

It’s also the place where highly paid staff decide how to spend hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.

And the public pays those decision-makers well: NREL’s top executive, Dr. Dan Arvizu, makes close to a million dollars per year. His two top lieutenants rake in more than half a million each and nine others make more than $350,000 a year.

*** end quote ***

And no one can figure out how to cut the budget?!!!!

RANT: the recent cruise ship debacle

Sunday, February 24, 2013

In reflecting about the cruise ship disabled, with a bunch of Americans aboard, was anyone as surprised that the US Navy did put anything alongside them. Like a capital ship capable of succor, support, or escue?

Maybe they did and it wasn’t reported?

Shocks me!

RANT: Drone warfare AGAINST the usa?

Drone Blowback?

Posted by Lew Rockwell on February 21, 2013 07:50 PM

Writes Jack Douglas:

The US plans to use drones to spy and kill everywhere. They forget that something so simple and cheap can become a deadly weapon against  a Global Empire that is exposed worldwide, maybe a guerrilla war-winning weapon like the IED’s in Iraq and Afghanistan, but much smaller, hard to detect, and cheap.

***

Everyone forgets about the asymetrical nature of warfare.

An advantage never lasts very long!

And imagine what small drones could do against the US civil aviation?

Argh!

RANT: The Press is BHO44’s bitch

Monday, February 18, 2013

THe President gets away from the Press for a golf weekend.

Other than Tiger, what fat cats were with him?

Enquiring minds what to know. What deals were struck? What promises were exchanged?

Where are the yellow dog journalists that like Woodward and Bernstein drive on the truth no matter what the cost?

Oh year, Nixon was an R and Obama is a D!

Argh!

More complaints about “transparency”!

–30–

And WMAL radio reported this morning that the “pool reporters had an off-the-record meeting with the President”. The point was who authorized them to agree to “off-the-record”?

My question is WHY was the Press precluded from its normal coverage (as with past Presidents)?
