An awful lot of good men died in this invasion.
I remember!
Does anyone else?
I knew a Canuk (that how he described himself) who landed with the Canadians in D-day and one night after a few “adult refreshment”, he said: “It is something you can not describe. The death of friends and the futility of it all.”
Every D-day, I remember him!

The FBI: An American Cheka
by William Norman Grigg
*** begin quote ***
From its inception, the Soviet secret police agency was engaged in what we now call “Homeland Security Theater.” The same could be said of the FBI, which actually had a nine-year head start on its Soviet counterpart. J. Edgar Hoover’s two chief priorities were the collection of what the Soviets would call kompromat on significant public figures – politicians, policy-makers, celebrities – and the management of his secret police agency’s public image. With the advent of COINTELPRO in the 1950s, the FBI became fully engaged in a campaign of surveillance, harassment, disruption, and assassination (if only by proxy) targeting political dissidents. Since that time, the FBI has been a fully realized political police organization, in every evil sense of that expression.
*** end quote ***
I remember the FBI story with Jimmy Stewart.
If I’d been paying attention I’d have seen the flaws.
Right at the beginning, a “federal agency” to handle interstate crime.
How could I have been so stupid?
The Goofermentcreates the problem with Prohibition and Banking laws, then of course they need an agency to combat what they create.
Stupid!
Well, 60 years later, I’ve wised up.

Government Creates a New Criminal Class
by Jeffrey Tucker.
*** begin quote ***
Woo-hoo! It is a wonderful thing when the good guys win one for a change. Well, it wasn’t a total win, but it gives hope.
In a case brought by the Wisconsin state government — with full cooperation from the federal government — a jury refused to convict Amish farmer Vernon Hershberger on all counts for distributing milk, cheese, and meat without a license. He did he end up with one conviction, for which he faces a year in jail, but that’s nothing compared with what might have happened.
Now, there are still many people who would read the above and say: Wait just a minute here. You mean to tell me that a farmer was hounded by bureaucrats for selling his own food to others who wanted to buy it?
Indeed. His farm was raided in 2010, and much of his milk and cheese was destroyed by the police. The conviction was based on Vernon’s desire to fulfill his commitments and distribute what remained.
*** end quote ***
A willing buyer from a willing seller?
Why is that the Gooferment’s business to interfere?
Argh!

AR-15 Rifle – the King of Home Defense
by Paul Merkel
AmmoLand
*** begin quote ***
When considering the defense of your home against intruders there are a few question you must ask yourself and realities you must face.
Before we delve into the hardware aspect, we need to engage in a very simple question and answer exercise. That is, what is our legitimately anticipated problem and what is the most practical and effective solution.
Tough Questions: What is the Threat?
First and foremost, when you consider protecting your home, what is the anticipated threat? Naturally, we are concerned with the stereotypical burglar, the lone criminal. Professional criminals will generally “burgle” your home when you are out. The most dangerous threat is what we’ll call the “home invasion”.
One, two, three or more armed vermin force their way into an occupied home intent on robbery, rape, and potentially murder. While rare, the threat is real enough to send chills down the spine of any home owner.
*** end quote ***
My paternal grandmother had a rifle hung over her fireplace until she went into a nursing home in the late 60’s. When I asked her if it was loaded, she replied: “Weren’t no good if it weren’t!” I knew from other family members that she’d used it when she traveled the Oregon Trail.
So do we need such an attitude today.
Sad to say I think so.
The Liberalism and “Secular Progressive” society of post-WW2 has create a parasite class that has no fear. Caught and sent to prison, they come out with new criminal skills, physically stronger, and with a worse attitude than they went in with.
Every good man and woman should have access to Sam Colt’s equalizer!
Like the bumpersticker says: “When seconds count, the police are minutes away” and “You are your own First Responder”!
I have mine. I hope you have yours. Mostly I hope it’s like insurance and we all never need it.

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.” – Douglas Adams
# – # – #
Sad to say, did I ever anticipate to be where I am today?
Never in a grazillion years.
Am I sad? Yes!
Am I sad about the choices I’ve made?
That strikes me of Shoulda, coulda, and woulda! thinking.
Argh!
Life is not a VCR. Neither is it a deterministic world.
If you presented with a choice of X and Y, then until you get to the Final Judgment will you know that if you had chosen the alternative that you’d have stopped off the curb and gotten hit with a mack truck.
Thankfully, as boy I read the “Lensmen” series, … by Edward Elmer “Doc” Smith …, that postulated a Universe that was deterministic. (The Arisians could foresee the alternatives of the future and how things worked out.) The lesson was that humans weren’t Arisians and we had to guess!
I took that to heart with my meme “less than a year, might be a mistake; more tun a year is a lesson!”

Back to Adams.
Since each intention was a decision, I’ve ended exactly where I planned to be.
Once happy; now sad. Running out the clock!

Politicians and bureaucrats make diktats.
It’s why we should have a marketplace.
May sound ghoulish, but it’s the only fair way to do things.

‘STUNNINGLY, BREATHTAKINGLY NAIVE’: NEWT GINGRICH REALLY DIDN’T LIKE OBAMA’S TERROR POLICY SPEECH
May. 26, 2013 3:22pm
Becket Adams
*** begin quote ***
Gingrich went on to criticize the Obama administration for ignoring the threat that radical Islam poses to civilized society.
“No one wants to talk honestly about the fact that there is a radical Islamism on offense,” Gingrich said. “It is on offense across the planet…We will never be at peace in the pre-1941 sense that we are not threatened and that we don’t have to actively take measures all the time.”
*** end quote ***
If we don’t recognize the enemy and our contribution to the problem, how can we ever have peace?
The R’s and the D’s both support the warfare / welfare / crony phony corporatism.
You expect them to change?
