Electing a Torturer-In-Chief

by Jacob G. Hornberger

The last Republican presidential debate ? the one on foreign policy ? was absolutely pathetic. Except for John Huntsman and Ron Paul, the candidates seemed to be fighting to show that they would be bigger and better torturers, aggressors, and assassins than President Obama.

While the dismal state of the economy is likely to hurt Obama?s chances at reelection, he has clearly outmaneuvered the Republicans by embracing their foreign-policy views. After all, I think most everyone would agree that on foreign policy, Obama?s first term is nothing more than George W. Bush?s third term.

The problem is that if Romney, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, or Bachmann were to be elected president, their term would be Obama?s second term, given that they all share the same perspectives on foreign policy, militarism, civil liberties, the war on terrorism.

So, given that they hold the same basic foreign policy views as Obama, the problem that Romney, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, and Bachmann have is to convince people why they should vote for one of them rather than Obama. Obviously, when it comes to foreign policy, they feel that their best chance is to show people that they would be bigger invaders, occupiers, imposers of sanctions and embargoes, assassins, and torturers than Obama.

That?s what running for president has come to in the United States of America.

that right eyebrow looks a bit like hitler's fake moustache. presentation not content, it is just a show but that doesn't mean each knows what their real parts are.

i hear on the radio that they want camera in all cabs (taxis - doing the knowledge - life on the meter for the punters). as a freemason enterprise likely they are there already. walking to the library i pass a young woman driving a plymouth council corporation with a big camera on the roof. ie i am supposed to notice this, i did.

the message implementation is something of a brotherhoold and sisterhood scream of 'we are watching you'. well, erm, library's are spied on, outwardly for austerity and inwardly it is big business, a book moves someone or group gets paid.

did anyone suggest the camera is rude? if one wanted evidence big brother is a nut, well, we are all surrounded with evidence.

the dictatorship presents to me as very human. over time every now and then one would hear a story of people living next door to each other had an argument over a hedge and on occasions to the point of murder. amplified up to power networks (what happens if people are grouped up, grouped up creates unconscious function of a predatory nature).

with the military industrial complex downsizing, the prisoners face an increasing struggle for the necessities of survival and their awakening is automatic in the circumstances. this situation is described as global warming as despite the media trying to chuck as many arguments at people so they take sides and argue, people become politically aware.

There's the Law, and Then There's The Law

by tzo

The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish!

If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellow-citizens to it. ~ Fr?d?ric Bastiat

These are the words with which Bastiat began his famous treatise "The Law" in 1850, and it remains imperative today to focus attention on the serious fact that the law has been perverted and inverted and achieves the opposite of what it professes to accomplish.

But if this has truly been an ongoing and serious problem for such a long time, why is it not generally recognized? Wouldn?t most people today judge that Bastiat was overstating his case? The law may not be perfect, but to call it evil is surely a gross exaggeration, isn?t it?

Well, we have to begin by looking at that little three-letter word, "law," and consider just what it means to the average person who hears it. Most people think of themselves as good, law-abiding people, and it is no small factor that "good" and "law-abiding" go together like chocolate and peanut butter here. This can be a very useful pairing for those who create the law, and a very difficult pairing to separate in the minds of those who have been taught about the law by those who create the law.

The Real "Occupy" Movement

by Thomas DiLorenzo, LRC Blog

The Demopublicans are the real occupy movement.? With a military presence already in over 100 countries, Premier Obama has sent troops to Central Africa and Australia in the past two months to supposedly "defend OUR interests."? Of course, the neocons who have taken over the Republican Party approve of this; their only dispute is that they wish Obama would have sent MORE troops.? Yesterday the Mouth of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, was lambasting Obama for sending "only" 2,500 Marines to Australia.? Limbaugh is on board with the stupid and senseless GOP schtick of "threatening" China wherever Chinese businesses threaten to sell good quality, cheap stuff anywhere in the world, and apparently thinks Obama should have sent 25,000 or 250,000 Marines.? "Oh yeah, 2,500 Marines will threaten China," he sarcastically bellowed.? The GOP should change its acronym to OTWP (Occupy The World Party)

Then there's front-runner-for-a-day, Herman "Keep Your Hands to Yourself!" Cain.? A friend who is an avid LRC reader attended Cain's speech in West Palm Beach, Florida last night and reports that he said his top priority as president (after taking a nap his first day in office, he said) would be to expand the military.? The empire is not nearly big enough, and is not bankrupting the country at a quick enough pace, according to the former pizza salesman/Fed bureaucrat.? The good news is that there were only about 300 people in attendance at the West Palm Beach Convention Center, and that was after Cain had to drop his initial request of a $50 entrance fee and make the event free of charge.

Ventura's Venture Against the TSA

by Becky Akers

He called it the "The Fascist States of America" and thrilled patriots everywhere when he promised, "I will never stand for a national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise a fist" after "a U.S. District Judge dismissed [his] lawsuit against full-body scanners at airports" on a technicality.

In that suit, "Governor Jesse Ventura, a/k/a James G. Janos ? [sought] a declaration that the TSA [Transportation Security Administration] and DHS [Department of Homeland Security, the TSA?s ?ber-bureaucracy] have violated Ventura?s Fourth Amendment rights by subjecting him to airport security searches."

Mr. Ventura added, "It?s really sad ? [The judge] claimed her court didn?t have jurisdiction. But this is a constitutional question?"

Actually, it isn?t ? at least to Our Rulers. And not just because they?re evil tyrants who spit on the Constitution. They are and they do, but what Mr. Ventura bumped up against is monstrously worse, something far more dangerous, entrenched, and systemic. Yet it remains so incognito and unsuspected that our hero might want to investigate it for his series, Conspiracy Theory, on TruTV.

The culprit is a totalitarian nightmare known as "administrative law." And when we victims assume the Constitution reigns supreme, Our Rulers laugh: they legally (even if unconstitutionally) replaced it about a century ago with administrative law.

You?re undoubtedly more familiar with "administrative law" by its acronyms: IRS, BATF, DHS, DEA, SEC, FDA, FCC, FAA, TSA?in other words, bureaucrats. And yes, with their allergy to common sense, their ineptitude, and their unfathomable Jargon, bureaucrats are utterly worthless except as punch-lines. But they?re also responsible for most of the despotism smothering us, with scads of legal triumphs and precedents fortifying their dictatorship.

Bureaucracies have cursed Americans since the nation?s birth; one even enjoys Constitutional imprimatur. The Post Office had barely delivered its first mail when Congress spawned another agency, US Customs ? grossly ironic, given that tariffs and mercantilism had sparked the recent Revolution.

But few other bureaucracies plagued the country until the despicable and thoroughly (dis)"Honest Abe" destroyed the railroads.

When Lincoln rewarded his cronies in that burgeoning industry with immense tracts of land and equally immense subsidies for a transcontinental line, they stopped pleasing customers in favor of toadying to politicians. Within a few years, rates for shipping wheat were so high and abuse of passengers so egregious that the outcry afforded government an excuse to meddle even more. In 1887, it hatched the Interstate Commerce Commission ? the first "modern" bureaucracy ? and "delegated" to it power it didn?t have.

I?d like to suppose the skies darkened and lamps across the country flickered at this corruption and outrage. Nowhere does the Constitution grant Congress any authority whatever over transportation in general or railroads ? and airlines ? in particular. And it certainly never allows Congress to delegate its legislative power: in fact, Article 1, Section 8 insists that only Congress shall "make all Laws?necessary and proper for carrying into Execution?all other Powers vested by this Constitution?in any Department?"

But the Progressives then rising to cultural power and political office adored Leviathan. They portrayed the beast as mankind?s nurturer and benefactor rather than the dire predator the Founding Fathers had feared. And they despised the Constitution leashing that beast as much as the "ordinary" Americans whose freedom it protected revered it. So rather than openly repealing the thing, Congressional Progressives worked around it by delegating more power they didn?t have to more agencies.

The Constitution purposely divides government?s three functions ? making laws, enforcing them, and judging those who break them ? while seriously hampering the first. Legislating is slow and cumbersome precisely so that an exhaustive and exhausting legal system can?t enslave us. And the division of power helps restrain the Feds.

The Progressives deliberately overturned that. They sought to "streamline" government and make it more "efficient" by combining those separated functions in the most inefficient of all Rube Goldberg machines, the bureaucracy. And so "administrative law contains all the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern [bureaucracies]. It is the body of law created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations, orders, and decisions," says West's Encyclopedia of American Law. Astounding, isn?t it? Agencies write the laws that empower them to write laws. They set the rules of the game they play against us, enforce those rules, and judge us when we violate them in "administrative hearings." Meanwhile, a single agency in a day can churn out more laws ? euphemized as "regulations" ? than Congress can all year.

Nor does that end the evil. Progressive courts have created a fallacious, profoundly anti-constitutional dichotomy to support the bureaucratic regime: they pretend that actions agencies pursue are administrative rather than criminal. Therefore, they allege that Constitutional prohibitions of such horrors as warrantless searches don?t apply since the document protects us from overweening police power, not overweening government in general.

Agencies, you see, are benevolent. The FDA secures us against filthy food and dangerous drugs; it?s not trying to imprison anyone, goodness, no! Likewise, the TSA guarantees our safety on planes ? and on trains, busses, ferries, and Tennessee?s highways. It lacks punitive intentions; it?s our friend.

Ergo, we can trust bureaucrats and allow them wide discretion ? though virtually anything they do, even pedophilia, is kosher so long as they claim it helps them fulfill their mandate from Congress. These presuppositions make the Bill of Rights completely irrelevant because it guards us from punitive government, whereas agencies are trying to protect, not punish, us.

The fact that bureaucrats ruin lives, that people languish in prison thanks to "administrative" searches, is as irrelevant as our rights. Congress arrogated to itself the unconstitutional power of delegation while pronouncing bureaucracies beneficial, and clowns in gowns winked, so we overlook the inconvenient reality of political prisoners.

These legal theories permeate and poison American government and jurisprudence. And though our grandparents muttered mutinously as the bureaucratic hold on them tightened in the 1920?s and ?30?s, there is no longer any juridical debate: Our Rulers long ago settled it to their satisfaction with the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946 (which supposedly curtailed agencies? control over us while actually increasing it) and other sops to the serfs. Continuing to call for Constitutional rights under the bureaucratic regime is like expecting Sabbath services in Bergen-Belsen.

Mr. Ventura viscerally grasps this, as do most of us, even if we can?t explain the "legal" maneuvers behind it; he mourned, "My case clearly shows that the Bill of Rights doesn?t exist anymore. There?s nowhere to go to remedy grievances. It?s phony, a fraud. ? I could have gotten equal justice in Cuba." Indeed. Progressives aren?t the only authoritarians to recognize bureaucracies as the handiest tool for tyrannizing citizens. Communists, socialists, democrats, and fascists do, too.

What would have happened had the court heard Mr. Ventura?s case? The same thing that has happened in other, similar ones: it would have ruled in the TSA?s favor, implicitly relying on Congress? delegation of power it never had ? power that is virtually limitless under the administrative regime. The TSA can do as it pleases, providing it asserts such criminality helps it carry out Congress? mandate to "protect" transportation ? and its perverts take care to constantly prattle just that preposterous justification.

So long as we sue the TSA ? or any bureaucracy ? for violating our Constitutional freedoms, courts will rule against us and smirk while they do. The remedy for administrative law?s totalitarianism lies in abolishing bureaucracies, not pleading with Our Rulers to defend us from them, pretty please.

Lew Rockwell on "Crazy Keynesianism" and the Police State

Occupy Wall Street after spreading across the country over the last 60 days, in protest of inequality and bank bailouts, to name a few issues, has seen a crackdown. Zuccotti Park, home of Occupy Wall Street was cleared out early this morning by riot police. Yesterday, hundreds of police in riot gear dismantled Occupy Oakland camp, arresting protesters. As for the movement, it continues as protesters march on in New York and in Northern California on the campus of UC Berkeley. As for the response from authorities, if you were an investor, would you wish you could go long police raids? Well we're pretty sure you can't, so who stands to benefit from this? We speak to Lew Rockwell, chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

D.C. Cop Allegedly Calibrated Breath-Testing Devices to Produce Higher Alcohol-Content Readings

Drivers Can Pursue Cop for Botched DWI Tests
By RYAN ABBOTT


WASHINGTON (CN) - Motorists ensnared for drunken driving may have a civil rights case against the D.C. cop who allegedly knowingly calibrated breath-testing devices to produce higher alcohol-content readings, a federal judge ruled.

District officials announced in February 2010 that its Intoxilyzer machines were improperly calibrated to generate higher readings, leading to a swath of dismissed or vacated drunken-driving charges.

The consolidated lawsuit presented claims from 20 different individuals charged and convicted of driving while intoxicated, but just five plaintiffs remain after a previous dismissal order.

They claim that Officer Kelvin King, as head of the Impaired Driver Support Unit of the Metropolitan Police Department, calibrated the city's Intoxilyzer 5000EN machines so that they produce readings that were 30 percent higher than a person's actual blood alcohol level.

"The complaint alleges that Officer King learned from the retained expert that his methods were wrong and yet he knowingly failed for years, to make any corrections," U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer wrote. "If true, these allegations suggest the intentional manufacture of false evidence, which has been found to violate due process since Napue v. Illinois."

EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration

Brussels bureaucrats were ridiculed yesterday after banning drink manufacturers from claiming that water can prevent dehydration.
By Victoria Ward and Nick Collins


EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.

Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month.

Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: ?This is stupidity writ large.

?The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.

?If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.?

Central Banks: "Gold Is Money"

by Per Bylund

No, you didn?t hear them actually say it. In fact, Bernanke says quite clearly ?no? ? gold is not money. But their actions speak much louder than words. The Financial Times reports that central bank gold buying is at a 40-year high. In other words, whereas central banks have primarily been net sellers of gold since the crash of the Bretton Woods system, they are now net buyers ? and quite heavily so.

This is especially the case in rapidly growing economies such as the People?s Republic of China. So while European and American central banks are (still) selling gold and ?investing? in paper currencies/fiat monies, the developing world is going heavy on what used to be the world accepted means of exchange. As the West goes down the tubes, the ?new? economies are not only growing in terms of wealth and prosperity, but they are also adopting sound money. Meanwhile, we are getting rid of paper money?for the sake of saving money ? and replace it with digital ones and zeroes. (But at least we have ?more money? than they do!)

So if we look to what central banks do and not to what they say, then Bernanke was quite obviously lying. In case anyone thought differently?

'Corrupt Cop' Accused Of Attacking News Blogger

By Laurel J. Sweet

A bad-apple Revere cop awaiting sentencing for lying to the FBI has been locked up, accused of sucker-punching a local news blogger in a Dunkin? Donuts.

Security video played in a federal courtroom yesterday shows Todd Randall pulling up as Richard Ireton sat having coffee in Revere with two other men. Randall strides in and smacks him in the head, after which Ireton grapples with him. The pair knock over tables and wrestle on the floor.

?He?s a corrupt cop we investigated and prosecuted, who thinks the rules of law do not apply to him,? prosecutor Brian Kelly said yesterday at Randall?s detention hearing.

U.S. to increase military activities in Australia from 2012: Obama


CANBERRA, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- The United States is stepping up its commitment in the Asia-Pacific, with U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday announcing the United States will boost military activities in Australia from 2012.

In a joint press conference held here after a meeting between Obama and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, the pair announced the two countries have agreed to increase joint military initiatives to enhance the alliance between the two nations.

From 2012, the United States will boost its military activities in Australia in stages. A force of around 250 marines will be accommodated and begin training in the Northern Territory of Australia next year.

The U.S. forces, which will bring with them vehicles, ships and aircraft, will then be increased to a battalion strength group of 1,000 by 2014 and will have a 2,500-strong Marine Air-Ground Task Force by 2016.

Anti-Muslim 'hate crimes' up 50 percent in US: FBI


WASHINGTON ? So-called "hate crimes" against Muslims rose nearly 50 percent in the United States in 2010, according to FBI statistics released Monday.

The figures, part of a report on hate crimes, showed actions motivated by anti-Muslim prejudice rose to 160 in 2010 from 107 the prior year.

Anti-Jewish crimes were down from the previous year at 887 incidents from 931 the previous year. The number of crimes motivated by anti-Catholic sentiment rose to 58 last year, from 51 in 2009.

Addicted to Incarceration

by David S. D'Amato

A new American Civil Liberties Union report documents an area of public policy you'll never hear much debate about within the political class: ?How private prison companies have capitalized on the nation's addiction to incarceration." The report sheds light on a societal cancer that generates billions for plutocrats.

The Drug War is among the ruling class?s expedient multitools, used to justify every totalitarian extension of the state from domestic repression to global meddling. As it does with everything else, the use of authority to constrain the drug trade creates in illegal drugs a new and artificial importance, a pot of gold materializing from "restrictionist price."

Since drug prices are determined not by free exchange between consenting adults, but by arbitrary legal controls, drugs become far more profitable than they would otherwise be. The result is a state-created point of intersection with society that not coincidentally serves the ruling class?s interests.

Whatever its outward objectives, the War on Drugs is in fact primarily an economic distortion, formulated ? deliberately or not ? to accomplish specific goals. Among these goals is to provide life support for an unparalleled and well-documented mass incarceration society.

Per Damon Barrett's exhaustive study of drug policy Children of the Drug War, America's War on Drugs "giv[es] 'the land of the free' the contradictory distinction of having the highest incarceration rate of any country on the planet," by no insignificant margin. US political administrations from Reagan's through George W. Bush's, Barrett points out, increased imprisonment of drug offenders by more than 1,000 percent.

This has naturally redounded to the benefit of America's overgrown, welfare-hounding prison companies, firms like Corrections Corporation of America, which consume hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. Even as states throughout the country go functionally bankrupt, prison companies are doing better than ever, cashing in on their relationships with policymakers and regulators.

Given that the Drug War hasn't corresponded with anything like a reduction in drug use or drug-related crime (indeed, most data indicate that drugs are more readily available than ever), we can only conclude that monopoly capitalism is the true engine behind that war.

But we should take care to note that using the coercive mechanisms of the state to profit by caging human beings is not characteristic of a free market. Genuine free markets stand in stark contrast to the dishonest system of profiteering that binds the state and capital together today, colluding to produce prisoners faster than the prisons can swallow them up.

Market anarchists believe, in the words of Benjamin Tucker, that "attempts to arbitrarily suppress vice [are] in themselves crimes." However one regards participation in drug use, alcohol consumption, or any other popular vice, a free society treats only invasion against others as a criminal act.

And it is invasion against peaceful society that the Drug War prescribes, allowing elites to capitalize on a market that would not exist but for that invasion. Like alcohol prohibition before it, drug prohibition has been a blessing only for organized crime ? the ?legitimate? sort sitting in Washington, and the gangs that wish to protect the high prices rendered by illegality.

Genuine free markets would vastly decrease the destructive power of drugs within society, a power that is today guarded greedily by powerful interests.

"What can you offer to get out of a DUI?" -- Cop solicits women he pulled over

Ex-cop convicted of 12 counts in women's DUI stops
By Phil Blauer


SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former San Diego police officer accused of trying to elicit sex from seven women he pulled over in the Gaslamp District was convicted of eight felony counts and four misdemeanors Thursday.

Jurors found Anthony Arevalos, 41, guilty of multiple counts of asking for a bribe, and assault and battery by a police officer.

However, Arevalos was acquitted of other serious charges, including sexual battery by restraint charges, and while he was found guilty of false imprisonment, those counts were reduced to misdemeanors.

15 Trillion In Debt, But We Can Kill Anyone In An Hour... Nailed It?

Chris | InformationLiberation

The US government is officially 15 trillion in debt, unofficially over 116 trillion, but don't worry, the regime can now kill anyone anywhere in the world within an hour using a "hypersonic" missile!

From AFP

WASHINGTON ? The Pentagon on Thursday held a successful test flight of a flying bomb that travels faster than the speed of sound and will give military planners the ability to strike targets anywhere in the world in less than a hour.

Launched by rocket from Hawaii at 1130 GMT, the "Advanced Hypersonic Weapon," or AHW, glided through the upper atmosphere over the Pacific "at hypersonic speed" before hitting its target on the Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands, a Pentagon statement said.

Kwajalein is about 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) southwest of Hawaii. The Pentagon did not say what top speeds were reached by the vehicle, which unlike a ballistic missile is maneuverable.

Of course, to actually accept this technology even works as described is hugely questionable. As Tom Woods discusses in the video below, most of these "super weapons" are just scams to get taxpayer loot.

what is really going on, what is the script, the conspiracy?

the occupy movement is the (div) 'V for Vendetta', their job is to sell out the poor in the name of fairer government, with the target of the stock exchange, the money system. that is to sell out themselves. in V for Vendetta we had radiation experiments being conducted systematically on people, you will find that historically and that is worth check as it reveals who was at it, eg. in britland the national health service. what pepole tend not to notice is themselves, being irradiated at a joke. the media in britland present this as a farse just like they had charlie chaplin mocking hitler so they could have a great war. for people to join in the joke is to be the joke for it is talking about the audience not to them. that is what the media does, talks about you and you are supposed to think it is to you and to join in any argument they rake up.

some people here believe in free trade. what is the most profitable business on earth? it is the prison business, the market is owned, the people, all things, lies, myths and riddles. it is called 'society' and it requires perpetual war.

i picked up this history from the street, it may be innacurate but it is the safest task not to pick a prophet but to examine for yourself.

back in 1049 in britland the freemasons set up in suffolk. that is substantlally about sheep, the wool business, the place to be long ago for trade.

the 'orwell' in the name george orwell was, officialdom hinted may be true, came from a river in suffolk. (the foresters were here before, later the oddfellows so you could be openly sexually out of the mainstream ie group 'em all up). page 33 of animal farm is chapter V.

so they have free trade, the trade is the pyramid scam and they have been flat out imprisoning all of you and themselves.

in animal farm, which the bbc proclaims top book (a simple template which does not reveal itself as conspiracy unless you know what is going on). in the book alcohol is proclaimed poisonous by the dictator, something the bbc and nhs are doing now.

history was re-written by two words, there was a recent example with patents in the US. <'No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.'>

11 ie them, ie nwo in the current contex. as per 'At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends.'

despite the government closing all the pubs in britland you can still see history (what is still being lived). this includes looking at the names of pubs, the queen victoria, the mason's arms, the king's head, the railway etc. you might believe these are appropriate names, but then if you travel round you might ask who owns the shops, aren't i missing what is right in front of my nose?

that is the elephant in the room, you are surrounded by the military industrial complex (military the means). the business operators have the best trade union that you can die for, it is called government. it is an assembly or representation of vested interests and the stockholders have freedom of trade. i would think mayor of london boris johnson is a 'freeman', freedom to trade in the prison.

as i mentioned the war (2), people were told they were saved from oppression, they are free because of it. that is the opposite of the truth.

if people are looking for psychopathy, in commerce there it is. it opposes humankind, everyone is sold out.

animal farm a fairy story, a fairy story, eric blair was taking the p*ss.

in the media they announced recently no expense would be spared to protect the olympics, they mentioned that surface to air missiles would be used if necessary to defend the site.

i kind of take this in the occult sense. the olympics, that running track and the first past the post. in britland they run a system called first past the post, if i have 2 votes and that is more than others (i can lie as it is a game of cheat), the business roles on.

i spoke to someone who was tasked to one of the electoral reform cons, those delphi discussion units. their job was in effect to coming up with a new way of presenting the first past the post system. it is a cheat, they are voted out by absense of votes and are required to go.

they don't want to go. sams i take as americans, that they will use their US military to protect the dictatorship here, the system it depends on at any cost. they are already doing that, brainbusted units like the cia and us marines already propping up the system. this includes rather significan american military bases in cambridge, to do with stuff you aren't meant to know about as it is about you not for you.

as for animal farm, did barack obama receive the nobel prize for peace (dictator's peace)? did tony blair award himself the highest award the US corporation is allowed to give? did david miliband (now william hague) front global torture, including if you knew it you? extraordinary rendition indeed it was. did a vast some of money go missing, what is called 9/11? and what of the building?

animal / manor farm

As they approached the farm Squealer, who had unaccountably been absent during the fighting, came skipping towards them, whisking his tail and beam with satisfaction.>

i thought they got the presentation of blair after 7/7 perfectly right, salivating after 7/7 after a pre-prepared speach (pre 7/7) was read out when the hot word game rolled, the terrorist gang because it was a general assembly of war crafts, awarded themselves power to do all manner of things to you. their army, their courts, their business. i have the means to kill, i don't have to award myself that power, i am not part of a gang where it proves anything symbolic, but that is the land of land of politics which is of necessity based on a system perhaps best described as mafia.

O GB

<'What victory, comrade? Have we not driven the enemy of our soil - the sacred soil of Animal Farm?'
'But they have destroyed the windmill. And we had worked on it for two years!'
'What matter? We will build another windmill. We will build six windmill's if we feel like it ...>
<'Then we have won back what we had before.' said Boxer...>

i think some remember the bank-notes, it was a rather large sum, i think people have found out all government money is a forgery. it suits not to leave people with things that would, without permission be of use.

i guess if i presented as a vested interest i should declare i don't have a penny but it isn't to me about rich or poor, it is about the division as is well known. hence it is that V is what it is all about, the game requires it and it is the most dangerous game.

you will hear the media say 'orwell' warned people. you have to see the mirrors to know what that means. eric blair was the official prophet of manor farm. as we saw on 9/11 the fairies included the USAF, what 'U2' called the saints.

challenge is inherent in life. courtesy of commerce this comes with what patterns to malice. the prison population will i presume decline no matter of the politicians and their borders to keep people inside the corporations identified by flags. already the dicatorship looks absurd, it fooled me, perhaps you too?

the 'occupy movement' is government, selling as in all politics 'austerity' and to maintain itself, as per animal farm, revolution is the method. in this instance it is being called marxist, one of the money men's scripts.

someone said the fbi were involved in an attempt to shoot Obama. (the battle of the cowshed, the white house, i seemed to have read the brits burned it down - as in erasing history). as for obama, oh boy, he must need protection. truth backwards, the false prophet is the danger and the protection he has means he is the most imprisoned slave in america.

as for the video and stealth fighters, if you control what people see you have stealth, what the media network does. until now, ie when everything has been stolen so the empire has to reverse to go forward again, people didn't realise who the rescue services were. in britland they are told but they were programmed in advance, the phone number is 101 (V), aka orwell, aka the duality game.

with the video games kids have, they are animating the kids having them literally dance out history of war, being watched as they watch. who is an actor, who is real, that is for each to decide.

i heard on the radio the bbc V 'live' keep asking the poor to phone in, what a contradiction. the raven as per animal farm spoke in their names (the church of england has a huge stake in the media so representation was with issue). they didn't dare let a single real poor person on, not one, the whole thing make believe just like they don't let troops tell people what was done to them and what they have just lived.

i post this with a view of the military industrial complex. i know it is the military industrial complex as there is a wall, uniforms the other side, lots of police uniforms but is mainly industrial. right on cue the signs on the wall tell me this is 'manor farm' not 'animal farm', ie uk plc. what is not so easy to see is that i am living in the 'complex', that is the big part, that is the fool most of the people part.

DEA Sweeps Across Western Washington With Dispensary Raids

By Steve Elliott

Federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents raided medical marijuana collectives in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Puyallup, Rochester, and Lacey, Washington, as a coordinated raid swept across the Puget Sound region on Tuesday.

Patient advocates and legal defense groups report that at least nine dispensaries have been raided, according to The Seattle Times. Ben Livingston of the patient advocacy group Cannabis Defense Coalition said he's spoken with several dispensary owners and defense attorney Aaron Pelley, who confirmed raids were occurring.

"I'm in shock because now I have no pain medicine," said patient Cameron Christenson outside of Seattle Cannabis Co-op on Rainer Avenue, reports David Rose at Q13 Fox News. "I can think of 100 crack houses in town -- why don't you go raid those?"

"It means people are going to have to go back out on the street and you don't know what you're getting," Christenson said. "It's going to be a nightmare."

Swiss cannabis smokers to be allowed to grow four marijuana plants each

By Ian Sparks

Cannabis smokers in Switzerland will soon be allowed to grow up to four marijuana plants each at home to stop them buying drugs on the black market.

In a bizarre twist to the new law, four people sharing a house can grow up to 16 plants - but only if each person tends to their own crop.

The deregulation of Switzerland's already lax cannabis laws has been agreed by four neighbouring regions in the French-speaking part of the Alpine country.

A spokesman for the Neuchatel region said: 'We have agreed these new rules to prevent drugs tourism between regions where the rules are different, and to stop them buying it on the streets.

Cop Gets 25 Years for Murdering Bar Owner Who Threw Him Out

Chris | InformationLiberation

Isn't it amazing the caliber of the people who are "sworn to protect us?"

From Valley Central:

He used to be known as customs officer Jose Guadalupe Elizondo, but for the next 25 years he'll be known as a prisoner.

A jury convicted the 33-year-old former Customs and Border Protection officer of first-degree murder in a fatal bar shooting in August of last year.

His sentence was handed down shortly after the verdict.

Investigators say Elizondo used his government-issued gun when he shot and killed bar owner Fermin Limon in the leg and chest, outside Limon's Punto Tres nightclub in Palmhurst.

One of the prosecutors in the case says it's always difficult to try a case involving someone once sworn to uphold the law.

"Unfortunately we had to prosecute a colleague but when you break the law you are subject to it,? said Griselda Rincon Flores. ?And I feel the jury did what was right and I feel that justice was served for Mr. Limon.

Here's the video report:

It's unfortunate this cop wasn't in Chicago. When Chicago police officer Anthony Abbate was refused another drink by bartender Karolina Obrycka, he tried his hardest to physically beat her to death:

Despite it all being captured on video, he was only sentenced to two years probation.

Judge John Fleming said he decided against jail time, explaining he did not believe the crime was serious enough and that throwing Abbate in prison would not be a deterrent to others.

"If I believed that sending Anthony Abbate to prison would stop people from getting drunk and hitting other people, I'd sentence him to the maximum," the judge said. "But I don't believe that is the case."

So in other words, sentencing him for his crime wouldn't prevent the crime from ever happening again in the future, therefor he will go unpunished. Pretty nice how our justice system works, isn't it?

Food Fight - Deciding Who Profits from Taxpayer-Subsidized Lunches

by Karen De Coster

If you read this article in full?("Pizza is a vegetable? Congress says yes"), it'll read like a comedy skit. The USDA, Congress, food companies (including huge players like ConAgra Foods and Schwan Food Company), and industry lobbyists (for?frozen foods, potatoes, and salt) have been fighting over what non-food foods will be available for subsidized school lunches for the kiddies whose parents have higher priorities than feeding their own children.

Congress has released the final version of a spending bill that will declare that frozen (processed) pizza is officially a vegetable. You see, federally subsidized lunches have to include standard amounts of vegetables, that is, vegetables as defined by government and myriad special interests that influence government bills. The USDA would like it so that it would take a half cup of tomato sauce to equal a vegetable, but Congress, in order to please the industry lobbies and corporations that fill the congressional coffers, has said, no, no - two tablespoons of tomato sauce counts as a vegetable.?Thus frozen pizza becomes a vegetable that conforms to government dietary guidelines. Thank goodness that, in Congress, we have a central source of truth for such matters, such as with the?federal dietary guidelines.

After all of the promises, handshakes, and exchange of cash-for-coffers, the American Frozen Food Institute?complimented Congress?for its "balanced approach to implementing new school meal standards."

Oil Tops $100 on Seaway Pipeline Reversal

By Mark Shenk

Oil in New York climbed above $100 a barrel to a five-month high as Enbridge Inc. said it will reverse the direction of the Seaway pipeline, adding an outlet for crude from the central U.S. and Canada.

Futures rose as much as 3.1 percent after Enbridge agreed to acquire ConocoPhillips (COP)?s share of the pipeline that runs between Cushing, Oklahoma, and the Gulf Coast and announced the reversal. The change may alleviate a bottleneck at the Cushing storage hub that has lowered the price of West Texas Intermediate, the grade traded in New York, against other oils.

?In the short term, this will definitely clear some of the crude out of Oklahoma,? said Francisco Blanch, head of commodities research at Bank of America Corp. in New York. ?This may not be enough to eliminate the glut in the Midwest because output is growing by hundreds of thousands of barrels a year. We still need additional transportation capacity.?

Crude oil for December delivery rose $2.74, or 2.8 percent, to $102.11 a barrel at 1:57 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures reached $102.46, the highest level since June 1. The contract traded at $99.70 before the Seaway announcement.

Brent oil for January settlement dropped 48 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $111.70 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London. The European contract?s premium to West Texas crude narrowed to as little as $8.32 a barrel, the smallest spread since March 9. The differential surged to a record high of $27.88 on Oct. 14.

Medallions and Monopolies

by David S. D'Amato

Recently, National Public Radio?s All Things Considered offered an important if unusual lesson in microeconomics.

Noting the economy?s "bumpy ride" over the past few years, the segment spotlights one "sure thing" in these tough times: Taxi medallions. Due to the high price, most drivers must take out loans to own them, giving the lender a security interest ? or "mortgage" ? in the glorified pieces of tin. "A taxi medallion," the story explains, "is a physical object that gives the bearer the right to pick up rides for hire; it turns out, it's also a good investment vehicle."

That's because the price of medallions has skyrocketed in recent years, with at least a couple fetching more than $1 million each. The medallion owner featured in the story, a New York cabbie who bought his for about $215,000, watched it more than triple in value in eight years.

The high price of medallions is, of course, a corollary of their scarcity, of the fact that they have the practical function as the only inroads into owning a legally operating cab. Once barriers to market entry are erected around cab driving, or any other worthwhile economic activity, those who control access to that activity can collect tolls at the entryways.

This is the way artificial ? as against naturally-occurring ? scarcity works, coercively precluding competition in order to allow rent-seekers and established market actors an unfair, unearned windfall. The mortgages attached to worthless pieces of metal are directly analogous to the economic rents presently embedded in virtually all other areas of economic life.

The only way that big business can extort wealth from the productive is to forcibly rule out natural opportunities to create value. The state, through a profusion of permits, licenses and regulations, creates the legal framework without which monopoly could not exist and thus serves the interests of big business.

Discussing medallions on All Things Considered, Baruch College business professor Edward Rogoff said, "There's nothing like having a monopoly to keep you profitable." He goes on, "When you limit competition, you get strong profits, and those profits get reflected in the value of the enterprise."

Rogoff's example of Econ 101 is simple and obvious enough, but it has far-reaching implications for contemporary economic reality, a reality made up of state-fortified cartels in a very unfree market.

Market anarchists submit that people should be left free to use their resources in any peaceful way they see fit. Arbitrary restrictions and spurious, state-created "rights" that benefit the "Top Companies" must be slowly, nonviolently abraded, replaced with genuine, labor-based individual rights and a bona fide free market.

The state's costly permission slips don?t "protect consumers," but instead subject working people to the centuries-old leeching of a ruling class. We could and would do just fine without that idle class and without their mechanism of authority, the state.
