Your criticisms aimed at the Democrat Party are nothing but lamentations of disappointment piled upon discouragement for a political party you desire to reach a more perfect, morally unstained and uncorrupted collectivism. You rightfully disdain fascist socialism, i.e. corporatism, but embrace egalitarian collectivism, which is the sort of collectivism -the kibbutzim- practiced in a nation you despise. How ironic. <br /><br />BTW, the Anglo-American power elite assisted the Ayatollah to power in 1979. The Anglo-American power elite are good at creating new and useful enemies. It has nothing to do with their meat puppet Carter's "bleeding heart liberalism". Cyrus Vance and Zbigniew Brzezinski can vouch for that. The Ayatollah was exiled in Paris before making his trip to Iran to replace an ousted Shah courtesy of the CIA/MI6, just like Lenin in Switzerland and Trotsky in New York were assisted by the same coterie in London, New York and Washington.<br /><br />I recall your support for the Obama administration in earlier posts, encouraging Will to ease up on him, to give him a chance; but anyone who knows anything about modern politics knows it's all a sham, a circus sideshow. It is the rare politician (Ron Paul and the murdered Larry McDonald) who possesses the moral courage to ever buck the system.<br /><br />The national Republicans are just like the national Democrats. And you, sir, have come along way, but you need to completely shed that abhorrant collectivist mentality I occasionally detect in your thought. <br /><br />Join us! Become a Free Market Austrian (not the phoney corporatist shit that passes off as "free market capitalism") and a proponent of individualism and extremely limited government, a minarchist, if you will.

The Republicans are greedy vampires and vicious wolves. The Democrats are corrupt worms and yellow-bellied sheep. Which do I want ruling America in these disastrous times which Administrations and Congresses of both parties have spent 40 years bringing upon us? (And I include the grinning dweeb Jimmy Carter, the most ineffectual bleeding-heart in history, who let us get mauled by a bunch of beturbaned mullahs and ranting mustachioed sand-niggers, who have come back to haunt us in the person of Ahmadinejad, and Carter's spiritual child, Barack Obama.)

Except, my first choice before the firing squad would be the guillotine, with one refinement: Each one of them gets to see the one in line before him lose his head and spout blood copiously all over the scaffold. So they have time to think about it. The firing squad is way too sanitary.<br /><br />The blood could be collected in buckets and used for fertilizer to grow luscious organic vegetables, which could then be distributed free to the unemployed of America. Doesn't that have a certain poetry to it? Maybe we could do like the Maya and cut out their hearts too. And livers. Send those to the dog food factory.<br /><br />And to think I was once an altar boy.

Those companies want the public to shoulder the burden of "public campaign financing" by the very rat bastards who presently run amok with the public purse? I wouldn't trust public financing any more than I presently don't trust them without it. I'm all for a new "Devils Island" where all present "law makers", scoundrels, and hangers on of both government, military etc. are deported to upon pain of death should they ever return. They can take that road or a quick firing squad. As much as I hate to see anyone perish I'm convinced they care not one whit for anyone but themselves and will suck us dry. Like vampires they keep enough of us alive to feed off of. So long as we're useful and don't complain too much they keep the thumb screws turning ever so slowly, for their benefit obviously, but once we bite back then out come the knives. I trust nobody from the entrenched political class to ever willingly relinquish anything to anybody and so you can already see where its headed.MoThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13996714804361467430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-16551700287360632892010-01-23T04:10:06.423-07:002010-01-23T04:10:06.423-07:00Folks,

Yahoo News which ran it earlier has also taken it down. For now, you can still find it on only two newspaper sites in America, which picked it up before Yahoo and the AP killed the story - the San Diego Union-Tribune, and Fox News Alabama. Go check the story quickly before it disappears from there also:<br /><br />http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jan/22/ceos-to-hill-quit-calling-us-for-campaign-cash/<br /><br />http://www.myfoxal.com/Global/story.asp?S=11865468<br /><br />Now ain't that cute?

They say they are tired of getting fundraising calls from lawmakers — and fear it will only get worse after Thursday's Supreme Court ruling.<br /><br />Among the others signing the letter are current or former executives of Quaker Chemical Corp., Brita Products Co., San Diego National Bank, MetLife and Crate & Barrel.<br /><br />Congressional candidates who find themselves attacked by a flood of special-interest TV ads in the 2010 elections will likely reach out to their party's biggest donors for money to help them counter the blitz.<br /><br />"Members of Congress already spend too much time raising money from large contributors," the business executives' letter says. "And often, many of us individually are on the receiving end of solicitation phone calls from members of Congress. With additional money flowing into the system due to the court's decision, the fundraising pressure on members of Congress will only increase."<br /><br />===================================<br /><br />YES, FOLKS, IT HAS GOTTEN THAT BAD. NOTE THE CORPORATIONS SIGNING THE LETTER - NOT AN OIL COMPANY OR DRUG COMPANY AMONG THEM. ONLY ONE SMALL-TOWN BANK. ONE MINOR INSURANCE COMPANY. NO WALL STREET STOCKBROKERS. NO MINING COMPANIES. NO MANUFACTURERS WITH OPERATIONS IN CHINA. <br /><br />THESE MOTHERS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DECIDED THEY OWN OUR NATION.

I'm sure you can see the sense of what Isaac says about the beast going to every extreme to prevent successful opposition. I carefully avoid using the term "destruction" because, as you say, Kirk, it is a self-destroying system. Eventually.<br /><br />It's what comes down the pipe between now and the time of Leviathan's death that we must prepare for as best we can because I do not foresee an escape or revival of liberty before then.<br /><br />Isaac, it's amazing how accustomed to physical discomfort (not talking torture here) a body can become, given enough time.<br /><br />May Our Divine Lord bless you both, and add a double portion for William.Have You Had Enough Yethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053875440181992185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-25672087744170892512010-01-21T09:14:12.064-07:002010-01-21T09:14:12.064-07:00On the glass half-full/half-empty issue, I would l...On the glass half-full/half-empty issue, I would like to share something I read recently that was posted in Lew Rockwell's blog. A friend of Lew's wrote:<br /> <br />"Keep hammering away. As every stone mason knows, each hammer-hit on the chisel brings him that much closer to splitting the stone. Although nothing may appear physically on the surface, with each hit there is something happening within the stone that the eye cannot see.<br /> <br />"When I was five my grandfather — a contractor and stone mason — demonstrated this principle to me, and let me do it too. As he explained, in days before there was scientific evidence to support him (scanning tunneling microscopy did not develop until the early 1980’s), “With every tap of the hammer on the chisel along the scored line, the atoms inside the stone move to reconfigure themselves in preparation for the split. Nothing appears on the surface, however, until the last tap when the stone falls apart.”<br /> <br />"So just keep on hammering. The Empire will fall apart."<br /> <br />That is exactly right, and it is validated by Galatians 6:9: "Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."<br /><br />Perseverance furthers, folks.Mister Spockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04790678390017800846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-49676427057992760992010-01-21T00:14:22.736-07:002010-01-21T00:14:22.736-07:00Kirk and HYHEY,

Kirk though seems to have an optimistic view of the end of this particular corrupt empire, or at least I have gathered that from what he has written. Before The End, before people realize the true value of everything this empire has to offer (once again, that would be zero), there will be a whole lot of violence. Other countries experience the result of resistance to the program, whether economically or explosively. This country hasn't yet, mostly because people have been too caught up cheering on the punishment of the foreign others.<br /><br />I guess my point is that yes, there are plenty of people who are attempting to understand true liberty and are also trying to find a way to get a hold of it, but when those kinds of ideas start growing, Leviathan, in order to survive, has to suppress them by any means necessary, violence being a good one to use since everyone knows that fear is the mind killer. Sure, it might end up well and people will finally be free, but Leviathan won't give up without a fight, and they are well prepared for it. I'm sure that isn't anything new to either of you.<br /><br />HYHEY, you may not have a materially comfortable life, but I'm sure your conscience allows you to sleep well at night.Isaac Stanfieldhttp://www.backyardguitars.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-15239021016620496422010-01-20T23:08:37.118-07:002010-01-20T23:08:37.118-07:00Hey Will, Someone posted a bad rewrite of part of ...Hey Will, Someone posted a bad rewrite of part of your latest at the Daily Paul.

I cannot disagree wit...To: Have You Had Enough Yet<br /><br />I cannot disagree with what you have written. <br /><br />Several points:<br /><br />1. I am well informed;<br /><br />2. I am well educated;<br /><br />3. I know that, economically, the recent TARP/bankster theft is merely a continuation of the same theft that began in 1913 with the Federal Reserve formation. This ongoing crime includes fractional reserve banking, which has allowed empire formation abroad, police state at home and forever warfare with "no cost to the citizenry", save for the cruelest tax of all, the stealthy theft we call inflation;<br /><br />4. I know that, politically, the corruption is so deep rooted as to be beyond change without getting rid of the entire political and bureaucratic classes all at once;<br /><br />5. I know that, morally, we have become poverty stricken, dependent and enabled to all form of negative, to the point that the majority faith of this nation, Christianity, cannot even be mentioned in public any longer. Even now laws are being enacted that will outlaw stating one's religious convictions as "hate speech". This is only the tip of the (anti-) social agenda of those occupying the cesspool on the Potomac.<br /><br />There are so many other issues that could be undertaken that is beyond the space to do so and I have purposely attempted to be very general in nature above.<br /><br />In the end, from where I sit, the following apply:<br /><br />Leviathan may appear to be near invincible, but it is corrupt. Since it is corrupt, the seeds of its own destruction are in place. Sooner or later, the rampant spending on the warfare/welfare/police state will result in the USD reaching its intrinsic value - zero. At this point, there will be change. <br /><br />As to me, I no longer am angered by the enormity of the theft that has taken place in this nation since 1913. In fact, I want the theft via currency creation to continue unabated, for this only hastens the day the currency assumes its true value, zero, which will mark the end of all as we now know it.<br /><br />This is how leviathan will be brought down - by its own hand - via the printing press. All we need do is sit and wait, knowing time is on our, not their, side. The key is to prepare for this day and what one thinks will take place in the vacuum created.kirknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-32928738426743660882010-01-20T14:30:59.820-07:002010-01-20T14:30:59.820-07:00People,
One of the finest magazines in America, a...People,<br /><br />One of the finest magazines in America, and one of only three that I read, is "The American Prospect".<br /><br />You can read the current issue online. It has a special section on why and how all the jobs in America were sent abroad, mostly to China. I really, really believe everyone should read these articles:<br /><br />"The Plight of American Manufacturing":<br /><br />http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_plight_of_american_manufacturing<br /><br />"Playing Ourselves for Fools":<br /><br />http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=playing_ourselves_for_fools<br /><br />"Industrial Policy: The Road Not Taken":<br /><br />http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=industrial_policy_the_road_not_taken_<br /><br />"The Politics of Industrial Renaissance":<br /><br />http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_politics_of_industrial_renaissance<br /><br />"The Great Industrial Wall of China":<br /><br />http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_great_industrial_wall_of_china<br /><br />In these articles, you will read that over 42,000 US factories have closed since 2001, and that while our government might want to bring jobs back to the USA, our corporations and banks and finance houses are making countless billions of dollars sending the jobs to China, and bribe our "elected representatives" to allow our jobs to be taken away by doling out vast sums of money for political campaigns.<br /><br />Why do you suppose Obama in his campaign promised to put America back to work but instead has spent enormous effort and time on health care reform? And bailing out the corporations and banks?<br /><br />No prize for figuring it out. A moron from Mars could do so.<br /><br />Corporations, banks and brokerage houses are "persons" in law, but with no heart, no morals, no conscience, no blood, no flesh and nerves, but with First Amendment rights. These First Amendment rights have been defined by the Supreme Court as including the right to make unlimited donations to politicians for their re-election funds. According to the Supreme Court, this is "protected speech." (Unlike the speech of the fan in Mr. Grigg's video clip. Go figure.)<br /><br />So, I would like to ask, if I blew up a police station, why would that not be "protected speech?"<br /><br />If I shoot four cops in a bar, why would THAT not be "protected speech?" <br /><br />(I hope the guy died happy - I'm sure a lot of prayers were said for his soul's repose.)<br /><br />If I bribe a Senator to vote for the laws I want, why would THAT not be "protected speech?" Why would that land us both in jail, but not a corporation? (Which cannot, of course, be jailed. Even if it IS a "person" according to the Supreme Court.)<br /><br />This land is your land, (NOT!)<br />This land is my land, (NOT!)<br />From the New York mountains,<br />To the piles of black stinking bullshit in Washington, DC....<br /><br />Okay, it does not rhyme or even keep rhythm, but it sure is a hell of a lot truer than the original version.<br /><br />Read those articles. Download them and save them. Nobody will believe what's in them unless you show them the hard copy.<br /><br />Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-59208763813083088612010-01-20T13:42:16.187-07:002010-01-20T13:42:16.187-07:00DEMOCRATS: WELCOME TO HELL!DEMOCRATS: WELCOME TO HELL!ROMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-460948364672655202010-01-20T12:35:17.619-07:002010-01-20T12:35:17.619-07:00To Kirk, continued:

But the Americans of his day were well-educated and, in the words of de Tocqueville, good. Also, the patriots then were, as often as not, the men of influence. Our men of influence now are, as often as not, a major part of the problem, traitors themselves. The "representatives," judges and military men all take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. But do they? Well, if they did/had, we wouldn't have a socialist/communist oligarchy cracking its cat-o-nine-tails over our backs today, would we?<br /><br />Yes, I do believe there are a significant few with fire burning in their hearts. I know many of them in my neck of the woods. I read yet more on the web. Inspirations all. But few have been willing, as yet, to step all the way out of the boat in faith, come what may. We all have our own ideas about how to get where we want to go, and there is plenty of infighting. Have you tried to herd cats lately? Remember, Isreal of old, Germany, Russia and China always had a fire-hearted remnant and stout resister, but they went through the grinder with the rest of their nations, as well. <br /><br />I'm just saying that it's very late in the game now, and the score is: Bad Guys 1,000,000; Good Guys zip.Have You Had Enough Yethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053875440181992185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-60741985744990693232010-01-20T12:34:36.393-07:002010-01-20T12:34:36.393-07:00To Kirk (7:41):

Not all of us will come out the other end, I believe. If you've educated yourself and know how we've been set up,then certainly you must see by now how the banksters, et al, have all the guns, plenty of hungry young men to use them and all the material resources cornered. Add to that the moral corruption of a vast majority of Americans and it's pretty difficult to see a ray of sunshine here. However, extreme trials have a way of burning off the dross. Not that I want them to come, mind you.<br /><br />My future is unknown; however, I can tell you a bit about what I have been doing, leaving much out, of course, since the HTML editor has already made me edit half my response. I have shed all the ties to the computerized government system that I can. I have no drivers' license. So, I've been to jail a few times for simply not agreeing to regard myself as a commercial driver for the pleasure of the state's revenuers.<br /><br />I have no social security number, bank account, credit card, voters registration (I'm an American national, NOT a US citizen and, thus, have no right to vote in the corporation's selection of officers). Not that it matters in the least. Back when I had no clue that there are different citizenships within the United States, one free and the other not, I voted for all the right people. They won offices and not only did they not return lawful government, as they took an oath to do, but they contributed to the building of the police state, too.<br /><br />I do not have a mailing address or anything that provides the government with a nexus to my status. It takes a mighty amount of faith to come out of the beast and suffer the economic consequences. I totally understand how much more it takes for family men and entrepeneurs to step out of the boat in faith. I watch all the groups in the liberty movement talk about how "we" need to do this, and "we" must do that, et cetera ad nauseum. The truth is, all want "the group" to do that which the individual is too frightened to do himself. But for any real change to occur, it can only come from the individual refusal of individual men to be a part of, and give perimission to, the state that enslaves him. In other words, if you want the income tax to go away, YOU have to stop paying. If you want proper education in this country, YOU must take your babes out of public schools. If you want to be free to travel without permission of a group of other people, YOU must stop enrolling YOURSELF into the system. You get the picture. Whether my past actions help me in the future, I can't say. All I can say is that I have done everything I could to stop feeding the beast when I became aware of it.Have You Had Enough Yethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053875440181992185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-58018930584428031582010-01-20T10:58:52.024-07:002010-01-20T10:58:52.024-07:00With thanks to Samuel L.

Clemens (Mark Twain):<br /><br />"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress."<br /><br />"Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress....But I repeat myself."<br /><br />I guess nothing has changed in 100 years! As regards dealing with the thuggish police, this advice of Mr. Twain's might be useful:<br /><br />"Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more."<br /><br />And finally, a quote from Mr. Twain which applies beautifully to the Jets-Chargers fans in the first video:<br /><br />"By trying, we can easily learn to endure adversity. Another man's, I mean."Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-26997853845498107932010-01-20T08:41:59.123-07:002010-01-20T08:41:59.123-07:00To: Have You Had Enough

Hide - where? Fight - and simply die as another number chalked up by the state?<br /><br />AS to me, I believe Sam Adams was correct when he indicated, paraphrased, that for things to change it only takes a relative few with fire burning in their hearts.<br /><br />Do you, or do you not, believe there is a significant few remaining with fire in their hearts?kirknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-31041149317295039212010-01-20T00:36:02.255-07:002010-01-20T00:36:02.255-07:00Great post William, it was glorious to see those t...Great post William, it was glorious to see those thugs in government costumes scatter like a bunch of cowards after their criminal assault on that streaker of the clothed variety.Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13487404072546513179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-43457896065858095262010-01-19T22:43:58.385-07:002010-01-19T22:43:58.385-07:00Everyone should have a video camera handy.

My friend was a public defender who has plenty of stories of cops "finding drugs" on people they didn't like. I also learned that they get additional pay for criminal testimony. At least in that city cops have a financial stake in arresting people.<br /><br />One day we watched as a cop called a whole bunch of other cops over a guy of color who was insufficiently suppine over the fraction of a minor parking violation. The mere presence of two middle class white women closely observing their actions made the men in blue behave better and prevented them from planting evidence. They did find an excuse to arrest the guy unfortunately. She gave the guy's brother her card which also helped no doubt.<br /><br />Thank God for video phones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
