Armored Vehicles America? Really?!?

The Department of Homeland Security has just purchased 2700 light armored vehicles like the one pictured here.


Why would a government entity need to do such a thing you ask?  The ONLY possible answer is tyranny. Think about it.  No legitimate police activity justifies the use of military equipment being used against citizens. 

Riot control you say.  Really?!?  Yes, riots can be controlled with such vehicles but riots are best controlled by not screwing around with people's freedom.  Riot control starts by doing what the people who elected you want you to do.  Remember when America was a country of the people, by the people, for the people?  I don't.

And keep in mind that the same Department of Homeland Security (Gestapo) also recently purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.  Is pistol ammunition even arguably a moral or just riot deterrent?  I think not. 

The simple fact is this; your government is preparing for a war on its own soil against YOU.  No other reasonable explanation exists.  None.  They know that the American people will fight a gun ban; they know the American people will fight food, fuel, and energy rationing; and they know the American people will fight to freely worship in the religion of their own choice.  The government has known these inescapable facts for two and a half centuries and now doesn't really care.   If it wasn't so horrifying it would be funny.  All the things that make us "American" are directly and openly threatened by the American government.  The very entity charged by law to protect us is the one that threatens us the most. 


This is why I have argued for years that the most important, and unfortunately underrated, Amendment to the Constitution is the Third which abolishes the quartering of troops among us.  Make no mistake, that is what is happening here. The government is quartering troops among us even though doing so is patently unconstitutional -- and EVIL. 

The truth is easy to see as long as you actually look.  Your government is coming for your guns, life, liberty, and religion and when it does, it will come violently and mercilessly.  Why else would it so actively be arming itself?                 
    

 

Too Old to Trick-or-Treat -- By Law?

I have read several articles in the last couple of days discussing trick-or-treating by teenagers. Some cities have passed laws making it illegal if over a certain age. To them I say thank you for proving my long-standing argument that America is a tyranny rather than the free society it claims to be.

I also make this declaration. If my town, or any city within 50 miles bans trick-or-treating for ANY age I will go door to door on Halloween even though I am well above any age they would set for the limit. Notice how I did not say I would go trick-or-treating. Instead of going "trick-or-treating," I will dress in a costume, knock on doors randomly, and say "what's up" while holding out a pillow case. I will also make certain to conduct one of these visits at the houses of any legislator who votes for an age ban on trick-or-treating in the hopes of getting arrested for violating the oppressive ban.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't like teens trick-or-treating either but I want them to decide for themselves how old is too old.

And seriously, these kinds of laws are never really thoughtfully considered. These idiot politicians just react without thinking in a ridiculous effort to control EVERYTHING. What if my teenager is mentally disabled and has the mental age of a child? Do these bans exempt them? What about my teenager taking smaller kids around? Is that illegal? What about me taking my kids trick-or-treating? Is that illegal?

The line of how old is too old should be drawn by the individual, not government.

Tyranny is the New Freedom

I am seriously considering writing a book about the true tyranny that has taken over this country. And why not, with a readership as large as this blog has (3 confirmed subscribers) the market is already in place. Levity aside, it really is time for this country to wake up to its state of servitude.

I have said it before and I will say it to my dying breath, taxing income is tyranny. There is no getting around that fact. To add to that I will declare that government prohibiting the free movement and expression of its subjects (citizens is no longer the appropriate term to describe Americans) is further proof of the tyranny we endure.

We cannot speak publicly without first obtaining a permit from the government. That permit always includes a fee and limits the time and manner of our speech. Needing government permission to speak is hardly an earmark of a free country.

The same is true for movement. To travel, even small distances, you need a license from the government (with its accompanying fees) to drive, your car requires a license and its ownership taxed, the gas you need is even heavily taxed. Once you get in your car the taxes and government control continue. You are required to wear a seat belt under penalty of law, even if no accident occurs, and I can't count how many other government taxes and controls are hidden in the production, transportation, and sale of the car itself.

Try accessing a national park and you will have to first seek government approval and pay a tax. In Utah, there are actually roads you cannot go at all unless you ride the government bus. No personal cars allowed? When did that happen? I paid for that road and now I can't even use it. Tyranny at its best.

Want to ride a bike to get around the government permission issue and you will be sadly surprised. Many, if not all, municipalities require you to license your bike. Many also require you to wear a helmet whether you want one or not.

Now let me point out just how absurd the government micromanagement of its subjects has become. In Philadelphia the police are now spot-checking your car to see if you locked it and they are fining you if you don't. If you are not outraged by that then it is too late to write my book. What free people would allow government agents to randomly check their door handles and then fine them for not locking the door? None.

I will lock my door if I choose and I will leave it unlocked if I choose. ITS MY CAR! Anyone who thinks the government should have a right to check my door is mentally unstable. Sorry, Fourth Amendment, you are no longer needed. And then to add a fine? Who would support such an oppressive control? Only a tyrant, that's who.

"War on Drugs" = Bullcrap

There is no war on drugs in America. There never has been and there never will be. This so-called war on drugs in this country is nothing more than a political game to take away our freedom, our self-reliance, and our tax money.

• If there was an actual war on drugs we would CLOSE our borders.
• If there was an actual war on drugs we would DEPORT illegal aliens.
• If there was an actual war on drugs we would build special prison/treatment centers for addicts.
• If there was an actual war on drugs our law enforcement would target high-level drug importers rather than bothering with individual street users.
• If there was an actual war on drugs our laws would have severe enhanced penalties for committing crimes while under the influence.
• If there was an actual war on drugs we would fight back drug sales and drug usage taking place in our neighborhoods.
• If there was an actual war on drugs our police would spend more time patrolling known drug neighborhoods and less time sitting in speed traps browsing the Internet.
• If there was an actual war on drugs our presidents would not brag about using drugs in college.
  

There is no war on drugs. Claiming so is a political lie.

• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to erode and violate our Forth Amendment rights and search anyone it chooses on drug-related suspicions.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to imprison or demonize us at will.
  
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to heavily tax us to fight this fictitious war and divert those funds to interest groups and other countries supporting whoever happens to be in office at that time.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to use our taxes and personnel to arm and train the military and police forces of other countries.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows the government to control what legal drugs you can have and how much you can have.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows politicians to spew anti-drug rhetoric out their bloated lie holes to pander to their constituents and to APPEAR to be doing something good in the world.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to maintain a delicate balance of poor and lower middle class people and to keep them completely dependent on government handouts for survival.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to divide Americans by race and to control minorities.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to elevate the manpower, weaponry, vehicles, training, and tactics of law enforcement to military levels.
• Pretending there is a war on drugs allows our government to ban, tax, and severely restrict our Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms.
  

No politician in America today actually believes the so-called war on drugs is real. They lie and they do so at your expense for their own personal political gain. The war on drugs provides our government the money, manpower, and political capital they need to fight their real war in this country; a war on prosperity, self-reliance, and liberty.

Consumer Safety = Consumer Oppression

As of February 10, 2009 you will no longer be able to buy used or inexpensive toys or clothing. Deseret Industries and the Salvation Army Thrift Stores are effectively dead. Watch for eBay sellers to be criminally prosecuted too. Civil penalties are $100,000 per violation with criminal fines also available. Violators can also expect up to five years in prison and forfeiture of their assets even if they were not aware of the violations.

The reason for this outrageous oppression is that the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act will be in place and bans the sale of anything that is for children that has not been extensively tested for lead. The ban includes even wood and other natural products that cannot possibly contain lead.

Read this article to see just how far this ludicrous law goes.

The only way to comply with the law is to test the products or target the products for adults. Expect your action figures to either cost ten times their current price, disappear completely, or to come with removable genitals to avoid the testing requirement.

Personally, I am really excited to see whether or not the LDS Church closes every Deseret Industries in the country or whether they operate in violation of this new law. My guess is that by February 10th there will be exceptions in place so the Church can avoid the issue but I will be watching closely either way.
