TWA 800: What the CIA Did to Mike Wire, Witness 571
By Mike Wire

*** begin quote ***

I do not know who generated this false interview to fit their scenario, but I stand by my original approved statement made to agent Lash. No other statement exists as there were none. The CIA built its case-closing animation around an interview that never took place. I would learn later that the CIA manufactured interviews with several other key witnesses.

This whole experience has left me disillusioned with the FBI, disillusioned with the CIA, and totally disillusioned with the news media that bought this whole story without ever questioning it — even after the truth about the fake interviews had become impossible to deny.

*** end quote ***

Some one decided that it would be best if “We, The Sheeple” remained asleep.

Imagine the uproar if (1) this was terrorist attack; or (2) a Gooferment blunder.

My money is on Gooferment blunder by the Navy. Based on other items that I’ve cited before.

But, a terrorist can’t be rolled out. 

If it was a terrorist, then why haven’t we seen more of these style accounts. I can’t imagine that terrorists wouldn’t brag or repeat.

So how do we distill the truth.

LIBERTY: Can join the Army but can’t drink

Bill would allow 18-year-olds to drink in N.H.

*** begin quote *** 

SEABROOK — A Seabrook state representative is seeking to allow limited underage drinking in New Hampshire under the supervision of an adult who is at least 22 years old.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t this seem a little stupid?

No wonder there’s a Heroin epidemic.

They can’t keep drugs out of prisons or schools.

This is NOT a great concession to the cause of liberty. 

Have a long way to go to freedom and liberty in NH!

LIBERTARIAN: Anarcho-Capitalism

Monday, June 13, 2016

https://www.lewrockwell.com/assets/2016/06/443_Dalley.mp3

Lew on Practically Everything

LewRockwell.com

Lew strives to present a diverse daily selection of interesting articles from our writers and other sites, but he does not necessarily endorse every view expressed. He does, however, believe that each piece will repay your reading.

# – # – # – # – # 

Lew has a great explanation of Anarcho-Capitalism.

“On the free market, everyone earns according to his productive value in satisfying consumer desires. Under statist distribution, everyone earns in proportion to the amount he can plunder from the producers.” — Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995) 

AND some great quotes: (from memory)

The difference between GM and the Government is that you get the car and GM can’t make you buy one.

RANT: Big Medicine may be playing “We, The Sheeple”

We Can’t Afford To Cure Cancer
By Bill Sardi
June 7, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Someone has said there are just too many jobs in the pursuit of a cancer cure to allow any therapy to be proven and put into practice.  Recognize the nation is dotted with cancer research centers that hold billions of dollars of debt.  For example, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington holds $176 million of debt.  [Moody’s Investor Service] Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the nation’s cancer research center, holds $1.9 billion of debt.  [Moody’s Investor Service]  A cancer cure would leave research centers like these on the hook for loans that could not possibly be paid back. 

*** end quote ***

It’s a scary and cynical.

But one must be always suspect the monetary motives.

Unfortunately we can’t overlook the example of “March of Dimes”.

They set out to cure polio. And they did it. Or at least, Sabin and Salk did. 

Then they “retargeted” to “birth defects”.

Never have to worry about going out of business again.

And that ½ million dollar salary is safe!

Argh!

LIBERTARIAN: What Tom Woods Told the Libertarian Party’s National Convention

Saturday, June 11, 2016

Ep. 671 What I Told the Libertarian Party’s National Convention
31st May 2016
Tom Woods

What’s the best way forward for the Libertarian Party? There’s some pretty strong medicine in this one, especially toward the end. Key point: product differentiation. We’re not 30% different from Republicans and Democrats. We’re certainly not “fiscally conservative and socially liberal.” So what are we? And how should we spread the message? Juicy stuff here, I promise.

# – # – # – # – # 

Economic progress eliminated child labor; not Gooferment “laws”.

As usual, the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats see the parade passing them by and then run to get to the front and pretend to be “leading”.

The leftist do gooders signed petitions to eliminate “child labor” in Bangladesh. The result documented by a latter study was that children starved to death or they were force into child prostitution. 

Great result!

Listen to Tom illustrate why “libertarians” are uniquely qualified to lead the way.

POLITICAL: How should Libertarians vote in the upcoming Presidential election

Hillary, Bernie, Donald, Gary: A Libertarian Perspective
By Walter E. Block
June 4, 2016

*** begin quote ***

I am glad you asked. Here is the plan. In states where either Clinton or Trump is leading by a wide margin, vote for, support Johnson. Trump either does not need our backing there or, it will do him little or no good in any case if he gets it. However, in purple states such as Florida or Ohio, in which the polls indicate a virtual tie between Mr. Pretty Good and Mrs. Evil, then and only then pile on in behalf of Donald. He will need every bit of sustenance we can give him on such occasions. Who to support financially? Both. Let us hedge our bets.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like a plan!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: End the National Flood Insurance Program!

Thursday, June 9, 2016

End the National Flood Insurance Program?
The media spotlighted the issues!
Eric Holdeman | June 4, 2016

*** begin quote ***

In the Frontline program, the question was asked about how much profit the insurance companies make on the program with no good answer from FEMA. And I personally was amazed that FEMA paid for the litigation costs for the insurance companies, leaving the poor claimants to fight the insurance companies on their own dime. Clearly, reforms are needed — big reforms, not just tweaking the program.

*** end quote ***

Here’s yet another Gooferment program that is Crony Capitalism (i.e., handouts for Big Insurance) and a subsidy program for the rich.

After Sandy, folks like myself who paid for “flood insurance” for 30 years found out they got no benefit because it wasn’t their primary residence. When I asked what I paid for, I was told: “I guess you made a mistake.” Argh!

Yet, “rich people” get their houses rebuilt time after time. 

In places in NJ where the Gooferment has rebuilt the same communities over and over under the guise of “flood insurance” and “helping devastated families”.

Argh!

In a real free market insurance, an insurance company would NOT insure a repeated loss for a house in a river valley time after time. Unless the premium was astronomical.

The Gooferment subsidizes poor decisions at the expense of the Taxpayers.

Sounds like this program should be killed immediately!

LIBERTARIAN: Nuke the the IRS, the TSA, the VA!

Wednesday, June 8, 2016

Get Rid of the IRS, the TSA, the VA
by Ron Paul, via The Ron Paul Institute

*** begin quote ***

Three recent stories regarding three government agencies — the IRS, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) — show why we should oppose big government for practical, as well as philosophical, reasons.

*** and ***

The TSA, VA, and IRS are just three examples of how government cannot effectively provide any good or service except authoritarianism. Individuals acting in the free market are more than capable of providing for their own needs, including the need to protect themselves, their families, and their property if the government gets out of the way.

*** end quote ***

When the “homeland security” reaction to 9/11 was to create a whole new bunch of Federal bureaucrats, I was appalled. As result, I, and a lot of folks, just stopped using Air Travel unless it was completely unavoidable.

The VA has been a failure.

And, the IRS is just a political tool for who ever is in power.

Time to nuke all three.

Then, there are many more organizations to go into the shredder!

RANT: Anything and everything “named” by the Gooferment should be names for a vet

East Brunswick: Street Signs Memorialize Township’s Fallen Heroes
By PAUL ENDLER, SPECIAL TO TAP INTO EAST BRUNSWICKJune 1, 2016 at 10:13 AM

*** begin quote ***

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, to commemorate those who died during the Civil War, was observed in East Brunswick this afternoon before several hundred citizens in attendance at the Veterans Park at the Municipal Complex in town. It was the 20th Annual Memorial Day Observance in East Brunswick with Mayor Kevin McEvoy hosting  the event as Master of Ceremonies.

Those that have paid the ultimate price are more important to remember than any politician!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment enables bad debt collectors

Monday, June 6, 2016

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/292786/john-oliver-buys-forgives-15-million-medical-debt/

John Oliver buys, forgives $15 million in medical debt
In News by Jamie Peck / June 6, 2016

*** begin quote ***

In the type of detailed 20-minute segment the show is becoming known for, Oliver examined the debt-buying industry, a poorly regulated field wherein companies buy people’s debt for pennies on the dollar and harass them into paying it, often by illegal and abusive means. He also discussed “zombie debt,” i.e. money which debt collectors try to extract that people are no longer actually obligated to pay. The show even sent a correspondent to an industry conference with a hidden camera to watch collectors gloat about how consumers don’t know their rights. (Also illuminating: An Arkansas lawmaker joking with the House Insurance and Commerce Committee about how he has to protect the bankers or his banker wife won’t let him come home at night.)

*** end quote ***

Saw this episode.

It was funny and shocking!

I demonstrates that Gooferment, its politicians, and bureaucrats are not interested in the welfare of “We, The Sheeple”!
