GUNS: Gooferment Skrules are idiotic too

So my 9th grade son is taking AP government and his coy teacher says she won’t reveal her political leanings…but then gives it away with her idiotic opinion of the 2nd amendment is being used wrong because it means only people in a militia can have guns. Sigh.

So in providing my son with the basis for an argument to proffer to her as to why that is wrong it suddenly dawned on me how truly absurd that position is. A militia by definition must be armed. An unarmed militia is like an orchestra with no instruments. Why would you create an amendment to protect a right that is implied in the nature of the thing. It would be like guaranteeing all doctors the right to keep and bear scalpels, or fireman the right to keep and bear hoses.

We have to de-federalize the military and get back to state militias and troops under the control of their governors and funded by the individual States. 

Military Industrial Complex, that Ike warned us about, leads to a military run amok.

RANT: Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee seeks to further restrict the RKBA

Saturday, August 6, 2016

2016-Aug-06

Even more the gas tax protest, I think that any infringement on anyone’s Second Amendment right is priority one. There’s a well established connection between “gun control” and genocide. Can’t happen here? As the American Indians, those poor souls at Waco, and any black American.

Just today, I learned of a fellow Jasper jogger raped and killed in Howard Beach. It may be “un P C” but I wondered in my post on it if “Makes me want to rethink capital punishment. And, makes me wonder if she’d had a 380 in addition to an iPhone, then would thinks have been different. Dona Nobis Pacem.”

“Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose

I’d like to see every woman who wants to defend herself to have that RIGHT. Notice that the elite, politicians, and bureaucrats manage to exempt themselves from the “diktats for the little people”. All the liberals in Hollywood can be anti-gun because they have their own security, usually armed. 

My fellow Jasper was fit, young, healthy woman who foght her attacker and lost. Hence the following quote:

“God made men and women; Sam colt made them equal.” — Unknown

Make a call to “your” politician and let them know your wishes.
Sadly,

Subject: New Jersey: Legislature Attempting to Unilaterally Block Gov. Christie’s “Justifiable Need” Improvements

NRA-ILA: Institute for Legislative ActionNew Jersey: Legislature Attempting to Unilaterally Block Gov. Christie’s “Justifiable Need” Improvements

On Monday, August 8, at 10:00 a.m. in Committee Room 1 of the State House Annex, the New Jersey Senate Law and Public Safety Committee is scheduled to hold a procedurally required hearing on the legislature’s maneuver to kill incremental improvements in the “justifiable need” standard to qualify for a handgun carry permit that were recommended by Governor Christie and implemented by the State Police earlier this year.

There will likely be no vote taken by the committee on Monday, but the NJ Constitution (Article V, Section IV, paragraph 6) requires that a transcript of the hearing be provided to all members of the legislature before the entire legislature can take a final vote, so it is important that all members of the legislature hear from gun owners right now.

New Jersey’s “Justifiable Need” standard is one of the strictest in the nation and is preventing law-abiding citizens from being able to carry a firearm for self-defense in times of emergency.  Governor Christie’s improvements to the right to carry caused anti-gun legislators to panic.  They subsequently decided to use this procedural legislative maneuver in order to prevent these improvements from being implemented.  Anti-gun legislators in New Jersey do not want you to be able to defend yourself, and they are going all out to make sure of it.

Please attend the hearing on Monday and voice your opposition to this egregious attempt to prevent the strengthening of New Jersey’s self-defense laws.  Also, contact your lawmakers and politely urge them to oppose this ridiculous procedural maneuver.

Washington state sues Comcast, says it sold near-worthless service plans
Comcast defends $5-per-month service plans, will fight $100 million lawsuit.
JON BRODKIN – 8/1/2016, 1:42 PM

*** begin quote ***

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson today announced a $100 million consumer protection lawsuit against Comcast, alleging that the nation’s biggest cable company “engag[ed] in a pattern of deceptive practices constituting more than 1.8 million individual violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act.” Comcast’s conduct affected about 500,000 customers who purchased service protection plans in Washington, Ferguson said.

It’s amazing that corporation would be so … … rapacious … …  as to sell basically worthless service plans.

Where’s the FCC and the other 49 states?

And Comcast can’t be the only one.

How about these “extended warranty” products? Where three years equals the cost of the product!

Makes me think that the product is so poorly built that it won’t last three years.

TECHNOLOGY: SSA goes to two factor authentication

Wednesday, August 3, 2016

BY EMAIL

Interesting that the industry is moving AWAY from cell phones as a form of two factor authentication.

Clearly, there is a spectrum of added risks that may NEGATE this additional control.

# – # – # – # – # 

Starting in August 2016, Social Security is adding a new step to protect your privacy as a my Social Security user.  This new requirement is the result of an executive order for federal agencies to provide more secure authentication for their online services. Any agency that provides online access to a customer’s personal information must use multifactor authentication.

When you sign in at ssa.gov/myaccount with your username and password, we will ask you to add your text-enabled cell phone number.  The purpose of providing your cell phone number is that, each time you log in to your account with your username and password, we will send you a one-time security code you must also enter to log in successfully to your account.

Each time you sign into your account, you will complete two steps:

  • Step 1:  Enter your username and password.
  • Step 2:  Enter the security code we text to your cell phone (cell phone provider’s text message and data rates may apply).

The process of using a one-time security code in addition to a username and password is one form of “multifactor authentication,” which means we are using more than one method to make sure you are the actual owner of your account. 

If you do not have a text-enabled cell phone or you do not wish to provide your cell phone number, you will not be able to access your my Social Security account. 

If you are unable or choose not to use my Social Security, there are other ways you can contact us.  To learn more, please review the Frequently Asked Questions found here.

The Strange Gaps in Hillary Clinton’s Email Traffic
An analysis of the released emails raises questions about whether Clinton deleted a number of work-related emails—and if she did, why.
By Peter Schweizer
July 06, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The media has spent a lot of time parsing through the Clinton emails that already have been released—compiling lists, looking for specific names or discussion of particular issues. But they ought to pay more attention to the holes. Bob Woodward has declared that Hillary Clinton’s email scandal “reminds me of the Nixon tapes.” He’s right. In that case and here, it’s not what’s in the record that’s most troubling. It’s what’s not there.

Traffic analysis is a cryptographer’s tool.

In this case, it’s the gaps that indict the Clinton team. Clearly, there are deleted emails. 

What they say is anyone’s guess.

BUT we can be assured they are significant.

Since it is neither constitutional nor a legitimate purpose of the U.S. government to prohibit, regulate, restrict, license, limit, or otherwise control what any adult American wants to smoke, snort, sniff, inject, or swallow, it follows, as the night the day, that there should be no laws whatsoever concerning the buying, selling, possessing, using, or processing of cocaine in any form for any reason—or any other any drug for that matter.

TINFOILHAT: Was Amelia Earhart killed by the Japanese for spying?

Saturday, July 30, 2016

http://unsolvedmysteries.wikia.com/wiki/Amelia_Earhart

Amelia Earhart   

Real Name: Amelia Earhart
Case: Disappearance
Date: July 2, 1937
Location: Howland Island

*** begin quote ***

In October 2014, the piece of aluminum mentioned above, was shown, by precision photographic processes, with accuracy comparable to a finger print, to be that object mentioned. If this is correct, it changes the list of possible sources of Amelia’s disappearance and would totally eliminate the crash and sink theory. It would also disprove the “crashed in the Marshall Islands” theory. It would prove that the Koshu was on Nikumaroro for a while, but was then taken to Jaluit Island with Amelia and Fred on board, and with the Electra attached to Its stern. That is why the search planes never saw them or the plane. They did see “some kind of markers”, probably supports, used to load the Electra. At Jaluit Fred was treated by Bilamon Amaron. They were then, starting on July19, taken to Saipan and locked in, Garapan jail as spies. They did not crash in the Marshalls but were taken there, arriving at Jaluit Island Navy base on July 13, ten days after they went missing. They were never in “two places at the same time!” a statement which had been used to claim that all of the numerous incidents about Amelia in the Marshall Islands and Saipan were false. This information was referenced in “Earhart and Noonan: the Missing Link” by Duane Hamblin.

America Needs a Good, Old-Fashioned Economic Depression
By Jay Zawatsky The National Interest
July 25, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Yes, central bankers can print currency units, but not food, energy or other commodities necessary for sustaining life. As basic commodities become more scarce or are priced out of the reach of average folks, wars, riots, rebellions, diseases and repressive governments will result. All of this human suffering will be the progeny of ZIRP, QE, and NIRP, which in turn are the progeny of the replacement of the gold standard by the Ph.D. standard.

*** end quote ***

If we stipulate that this is good “economic medicine” and central banks have no incentive to stop “printing currency units”, then what is the trigger for a depression? Or what is the recognition factor that wakes up “We, The Sheeple” to the reality of one big ugly “economic” chicken coming home to roost.

In Venezuela, it had to be the unavailability of toilet paper at any price.

What will it be here in the USA? 

Since “printing the currency units” will lead to inflation, it’s important to hide that fact from “We, The Sheeple”.

But sooner of later, the inputs to production will be bid up and that has to be reflect in the price to the end consumer. At some point, the outputs can not be produced for a profit and compensate for the risk involved.

So when the shelfs begin to be missing “stuff”, that’s the trigger.

Don’t Reform the Fed: Exit the Fed
07/18/2016
Ron Paul

*** begin quote ***

Opponents of a central bank should take advantage of the post-Brexit vote revival of secessionist sentiments to promote a secession from central banking, or “Fed-exit.” Ending the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money is the key to restoring and maintaining our liberty and prosperity.

By manipulating the money supply to fix interest rates, the Federal Reserve engages in price fixing. After all, interest rates are nothing more than the price of money. Like all prices, they communicate information about economic conditions to market actors. Federal Reserve attempts to override the market rate of interest with a Fed-favored rate distort the price signals sent to businesses, investors, and consumers. The result of this distortion is a Fed-created boom, followed by a Fed-created bust.

The Fed’s action affects the entire economy and impacts the lives of all Americans, as well as of people around the world. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the attempt to fix interest rates is the most harmful example of price fixing.

*** end quote ***

Clearly, having “honest money” — 

“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110

How can you keep score, store wealth for the future, or just know where you are financially.

Ataturk’s Last Stand (Today’s Reading Assignment)

*** begin quote ***

If you read just two articles this week, may we suggest this opinion piece from Fox News strategic analyst Ralph Peters, and the latest column from former NSA senior spook John Schindler?  Both offer important insight into the failed “coup” in Turkey, and what it means for Ankara and the West.

While we’ve had minor differences with Lt Col Peters in the past, his analysis of the abortive military revolt in Turkey is spot-on.  When the coup fizzled on the streets of Istanbul and other major Turkish cities, so did Ataturk’s lasting vision of a modern, secular state firmly oriented towards Europe and western values.  As Peters writes: Friday night’s failed coup was Turkey’s last hope to stop the Islamization of its government and the degradation of its society.  Reflexively, Western leaders rushed to condemn a coup attempt they refused to understand. Their reward will be a toxic Islamist regime at the gates of Europe.

*** end quote ***

Sorry to say, but another domino has fallen.

Hopefully Trump will follow thru and end NATO. That would force Turkey to stand on its own. And the USA’s foreign policy to pull back from the Global adventurism and perpetual war we find ourselves in.

Challenges for Black People: Part II
By Walter E. Williams

Here’s an experiment. Meet with black people such as Reps. John Conyers (age 87), Charles Rangel (86), Eddie Bernice Johnson (80), Alcee Hastings (79) and Maxine Waters (77). Ask them whether their parents would have tolerated their assaulting and cursing teachers or any other adult. I bet you the rent money that their parents — or any other parents they knew when they were growing up — would not have accepted the grossly disrespectful behavior seen today among many black youngsters, using foul language and racial epithets. Older blacks will tell you that had they behaved that way, they would have felt serious pain in their hind parts. If blacks of past generations would not accept such self-destructive behavior, why should today’s blacks accept it?

After hearing so many “false father” claims, I think that Courts should REQUIRE DNA proof of parenthood before ordering child support. After all isn’t that the “best evidence” available. DNA parental testing is available in any drugstore for about 100$. And, all we have for a “birth certificate” is the memorialization of what two people think is the truth. Need real evidence before society places a lifetime burden on men. (A woman physically having the baby is prima facie evidence, but look how many switched at birth case we heard about.

Top 10 Little-Known Facts About Alcohol
ADAM R. RAMOS JULY 15, 2016

*** begin quote ***

1. The Federal Poisoning Plan

Between December 25 and 27, 1926, the city of New York saw 31 alcohol-related deaths and countless others desperately ill. What was originally speculated as your typical alcohol poisoning turned out to be far more disturbing given that the deaths were courtesy of the US government.

When Prohibition took effect in 1920, law enforcement began denaturing industrial alcohol by adding toxic chemicals. This plan was conducted with the hopes of deterring people from re-purifying the liquid so that it could be consumed. As time passed and the speakeasies and underground bars flourished, the anti-drinking forces in the government developed a new denaturing process that would make industrial-grade alcohol twice as poisonous.

TIME magazine noted in a 1927 article that three ordinary drinks of this concoction created by the government would cause blindness. Government officials stated that the individuals who consumed the alcohol did it under their own free will, and the act was therefore nothing short of a deliberate suicide. The government insisted that they held no responsibility. Prohibition came to an end five years later, and by that time, the actions of the United States government had claimed the lives of at least 10,000 people.

*** end quote ***

Why do we trust the Government in any way?

They should be disbelieved on principle.

They should be kept barefoot, weak, and starved for resources.

Top 10 Little-Known Facts About Alcohol
ADAM R. RAMOS JULY 15, 2016 

*** begin quote ***

The drinking age in the United States has varied between 18 to its current state of 21. Such an age would be absurd in 10 percent of the world, given that a total of 19 countries have no minimum drinking age at all, such as Sierra Leone and Cambodia. Fortunately, Antigua, Barbuda, and the Central African Republic are a little stricter when it comes to alcohol consumption—their minimum drinking ages are between 10 and 15 years old.

However, no laws are more stringent than the 16 countries where alcohol is illegal to consume at any age, such as Afghanistan, Somalia, and Pakistan. Iran, whose ban on alcohol was instituted after the 1979 revolution, displayed just how serious a criminal offence drinking was in 2012, when two men were sentenced to death for drinking alcohol. The men had two prior convictions for which they each received 80 lashes.

*** end quote ***

I remember a time in my youth when in Nevada there was no speed limits, no drinking age, and prostitution was legal. The Mob ran the state and it was all very nice and peaceful.

Then, at the time, the drinking age in Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk was 18. But I had my first beer at 14 in bar with my Dad. I drank there frequently and was never “carded” (i.e., asked for proof of age) until my 18th birthday. After that, the price of beer was half what it was when I was under age. (Guess that was the bar’s ‘risk premium’?)

SO why to we need the Gooferment telling us what we can do or put into our bodies. Are we their “human cattle”?

In a move that shocked faux-socialists everywhere Chairman Sanders went out on stage and officially endorsed none other than the Lizard Queen herself.

It was a sight to see, Sanders led in chains and forced to beg not only for his life but the lives of his devoted followers as Hillary watched from a chair made almost exclusively of Syrian children. “I have come here to make it as clear as possible why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president,” Sanders uttered under armed guard, “Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nomination and I congratulate her for that.” Sanders would spend the next 45 minutes slowly assuring his armed party cadres around the country that this was exactly what he wanted, that all his talk of healthcare and socialism had been “window dressing,” simply too much to ask in these “dangerous times.”

The worst was yet to come however. As Hillary’s forked tongue began sniffing the air and tasting the tears of millions Sanders brokenly said “I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States.” Democratic Socialism, a new ideology that might have left a lasting impression on the political machinery of the United States, disappeared in an instant.

The political revolution was over.

This week, Krugman considers several possible explanations for why long-term interest rates are so low around the world. The one he settles on: investors have concluded that the weak economy is the new normal, so to speak, so they’re willing to accept low yields. But this explanation contradicts Krugman’s repeated insistence that the Obama recovery is stronger than ignorant right-wingers give it credit for. Which is it?

If “economics” is a natural science — which I believe it is, then how can it’s “laws” be ignored without consequences.

Imagine physics if the speed of light was not a constant?

Imagine chemistry if elements’ characteristics were ignored.

Imagine math if π was published as 3.14 exactly. 

Chaos!

Economics’ supply and demand is an observed logically consistent “law” (i.e., lower your price and people can buy more; raise your price and the opposite happens).

Interest rates are a reflection of people’s time preference. Not what the Gooferment says it is.

Argh!

When the FED just “prints” money, people make terrible decisions!

MONEY: A Gold Bull Market?

Peter Schiff: We’ve Entered a New Leg of a Gold Bull Market

*** begin quote ***

We still have a tremendous price that needs to be paid for the mistakes of the past. Even if we correct those mistakes in the future, we still are going to have a day of reckoning. And that day of reckoning is going to evolve a much lower US dollar and a much higher gold price.”

*** end quote ***

I think the WORST part of fiat currency is that we have lost is the objective standard of value!

“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110

The paper produced by the FED ——

 The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians.

— — fails three of the four functions — a measure, a standard, a store. 

So when we hear numbers kicked around they lose all sense of reality.

I’ve griped about the three silver dimes for a gallon of gas many times on this blog before. But it still states an essential truth. Silver hasn’t really changes and the gas is actually “better” gas. So what accounts for the delta (i.e., a gallon of lesser quality gas in the Sixties versus two plus gallons of today’s better gas)?

It’s the value of the money stupid.

The dollar 1960 value has been “inflated” away by the politicians and bureaucrats who put the difference in their pockets.

In the old days, it’d just be called what it is — theft.

Can’t you see it?

The Unasked Questions
By Butler Shaffer
July 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.
 – Thomas Pynchon

Human understanding is premised upon a continuing refinement in the quality of questions we bring to any subject matter. If our distant ancestors knew little more about their physical world than the proposition that “some things fall and hurt us,” their ability to safely function in the world might have been insufficient to sustain their lives. After centuries of trying to explain such occurrences by reciting such maxims as that things fall to their natural level in the world, our ancestors became better informed by Newton’s understanding of gravity and principles of motion. His views – like the more sophisticated opinions that followed from other scientists – emerged not from the recitation of other men’s answers, but from the formulation of more complex questions.

*** end quote ***

Argh!

How do we get society asking the RIGHT questions?

What is right question?

It’s the all about the proper role of Gooferment versus government!

If you’re a little L libertarian, government is “your nightwatchman”. Anything else, it’s someplace between the national “mother” and “father”.

Argh!

GUNS: The gun grabbers are aiming at conditioning children against guns

Latest Gun Control Legislation Takes Aim at Children, and Reveals a Sinister Truth
Posted at 3:05 pm on July 13, 2016 by Jenn Jacques

*** begin quote ***

The Help End Assault Rifle Tragedies (HEART) Act of 2016 as announced by Markey and Gallego claims to protect children by prohibiting anyone under the age of 16 from possessing or firing machine guns and assault weapons, specifying that the law would extend to gun shows and shooting ranges.

However, the bill clearly aims to shut down all youth shooting sports and young hunters’ ability to participate in any activity that uses guns.

*** end quote ***

Always and irresistibly chasing the goal of putting the people totally under their thumbs!
