Gas Stations in the Sky: $35 Billion in the Corporate Welfare Pipeline

Gas Stations in the Sky: $35 Billion in the Corporate Welfare Pipeline

As the author states, the numbers may be a little dubious but when you are talking about $35B, the equivalent of about 3% of the entire US spending on offense, what is a few billion among friends? Disgusting, really.

President Obama, White House: Al Qaeda Is Racist - Political Punch

President Obama, White House: Al Qaeda Is Racist - Political Punch

OK - this one was a bit too 'hot' to post to my FB page so to my blog it goes...

What in the hell kind of pap pronouncement is this that Al Qaeda is racist? They may be a lot of things (CIA boogey man; US government straw man; convenient distraction from the tyranny at home; callous murderers; etc) but racism is probably the last quality that I would ascribe to them. That is just damn silly!!

However, stepping back from the fray, what other nefarious organization has been deemed to be racist, or at least have 'racist elements'? Yes, the Tea Party folks and, by the current statist reasoning, anyone who opposes big government and big government agendas. (For example: oppose Obamacare, you are racist; oppose illegal immigration, you are racist; end the fed - racist; oppose greater taxes - racist; oppose the wars - hippie racists!...and the list goes on.) So, although the link hasn't been explicitly made yet (though some would say it has citing the MIAC report as evidence), it certainly appears that the administration is but one small step away from equating the Tea Parties and all opposed to a statist agenda, as being terrorists...

It won't be long before an event will occur here in the US that will be portrayed as an act of (racial) terrorism and it will be squarely affixed to the Tea Party or an anti-state individual or group...and the crackdown will commence in visible earnest on our freedoms. The framework is in place. The means are being set. The ends are approaching...

Campaign For Liberty — Celebrating Independence from the State | by Anthony Gregory

Campaign For Liberty — Celebrating Independence from the State   | by Anthony Gregory

So, like the author of this linked article, I agree that there seems to be little to be celebratory about on this 4th of July. I also share his optimism...though I think the price of readmission to liberty and freedom may be steeper than many are willing to pay. Hmmmm...subservience at a cost, or liberty at any cost? I know what I will pay!

Happy 4th of July America.

Is the U.S. a Fascist Police-State? by Tyler Durden

Is the U.S. a Fascist Police-State? by Tyler Durden

This one is a painful read if you are afraid of some national introspection. Frankly though, I think the author lays out the case well. The rulings which he cites sure seem to me to set out a circular argument against a citizens' right of association based on government decree...

Been a While

Its not like I have a 'dedicated' reader base but to those of you that actually do check in every so often, my apologies for not updating the blog for almost a month. I have been busy relocating and resettling...who knew that it could be so difficult? ;-)

That said, I do want to expound on the events unfolding of late... I don't wish to sound like an alarmist, but good God!!! The events, legislation, and other crap befalling our country is absolutely mind-numbing. As both Alex Jones and Glen Beck would both admit, the pace is quickening...events are happening with absurd rapidity. I am truly fearful for the fate of my country and yet, I have a sublime confidence that our citizens WILL wake up the nightmare in progress around them and act. It is both scary and comforting at the same time.

Our plans to deal with the possible scenarios?...Nothing concrete, still formative. The longer we delay in planning and executing, the more worried I get. I don't like the uncertainty of preparations delayed but...well...hopefully I do get to those preps before the shit actually hits the fan.

In any event, I know this entry is to some extent, a non-entry, but I hope to begin adding entries in the near future. The opposition is engaged in a full, frontal assault and our resistance is absolutely vital!!

Thanks for checking in!

Cheers!
