Declaration and Resolves of Continental Congress 2009

In Defense of a Free People, the time has come to reassert our God-Given, Natural Rights and cast off tyranny…

Let the Facts Reveal: The federal government of the United States of America was instituted to secure the Individual Rights of our citizens and instead now threatens our Life, Liberty and Property through usurpations of the Constitution. Emboldened by our own lack of responsibility and due diligence in these matters, government has exceeded its’ mandate and abandoned those Founding Principles which have made our nation exceptional;

Our servant government has undertaken these unconstitutional actions in direct violation of their enumerated duties, to the detriment of the People’s liberty and the sovereignty of our Republic;

Over many years and spanning multiple political administrations, the People who have, in good conscience, attempted to deliberate our grievances and voice our dissent against these offensive actions through both Petition and Assembly, have been maligned and ignored with contempt;

The People of the several States of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming, justly alarmed at these arbitrary and unconstitutional actions, have met as Citizen-Delegates, and sat in a general Congress, in the city of St. Charles, Illinois;

Whereupon We, as these Citizen- Delegates, have gathered in defense of Divine Justice, Liberty and the principles of limited government, now stand in clear recognition of the Supreme Law of the Land – the Constitution for the United States of America;

Therefore, We demand that Government immediately re-establish Constitutional Rule of Law, lest the People be forced to do so themselves; and we hereby serve notice that in the Defense of Freedom and Liberty there shall be NO COMPROMISE to which we shall ever yield.

Democracy: The Joke's on You

Once again Larken is right on!!

Democracy: The Joke's on You

Despite all the lovey-dovey rhetoric about the supposed greatness of "democracy," there's only one thing its proponents want it for: to get moral permission to force their preferences, opinions and ideas on other people. People vote, hoping "their guy" will win. Why? So their own interests and agenda, and NOT the interests and agenda of the people who voted for "the other guy," will be served by the machine of "government." And everything "government" does, it does by threat of force. (It doesn't just ask nicely; it commands, and inflicts harm on any who don't obey.)

I realize that's not the flowery explanation that democracy- worshipers prefer, but it happens to be the truth. The left-wing statists want to win elections so the right-wing statists (and everyone else) will be forced to fund welfare programs, wealth redistribution, more government control (a.k.a. "regulation") of commerce, etc. Meanwhile, right-wing statists want to win so the left-wing statists (and everyone else) will be forced to fund a huge military, a bigger police force, more border patrols, a "war on drugs," etc.

In short, democracy is gang warfare for cowards. The voters, being too chicken-poop to do it themselves, desperately try to get "government" to rob and control all of their neighbors (while accepting NO responsibility for having advocated that). If your gang of voters outnumbers the other gang, you can get the mercenaries of the state to boss them around. Yippee! Ain't democracy great?

Well, to all you voters, the joke's on you. While you've been whining for other people to be taxed and regulated (robbed and controlled), the tyrants have always been one step ahead of you, using your own envy, cowardice, and irresponsibility against you. In case you haven't noticed, win or lose, BOTH gangs of voters always get robbed and controlled.

Did you really think the politicians and their mercenaries would be on YOUR side, if you were in the majority? (If so, you pretty much deserve the mess you're in right now.) The tyrants have several nifty tricks for getting the shackles on ALL of the peasants, regardless of how anyone votes. One of those tricks relies on this dirty little secret:

EVERYONE IS A MINORITY.

Sound strange? Well, it all depends upon how people are categorized. Maybe you're in the majority when it comes to race. Maybe you're in the majority when it comes to religion. But there will always be SOME criteria that the tyrants can use to divide the people which will have YOU landing on the minority side. And then it's YOU the majority will be stomping on, via the thugs in "government." Then your boneheaded faith in democracy (mob rule) will bite you right in the rear end.

Are you in the top 49% of income earners? If so, you're a minority, and the tyrants know they can rely on the bottom 51% to cheer for you to be robbed blind. Are you younger than 30? I'm sure everyone above 40 would love to raise your taxes, to pay for goodies for them. Or maybe you're above 40, in which case you're STILL in the minority, and the YOUNGER people might vote to tax the heck out of whatever wealth you've accumulated so far. It all depends where the politicians decide to draw the dividing line. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Is marijuana your drug of choice? If so, the beer-drinking majority will be happy to advocate that draconian government violence be used against you if you're caught with an "unapproved" plant. Are you male? Well, you're a minority. And if the women ever figure out that they can VOTE away your suffrage "rights," you're poop out of luck. Do you own a gun? If so, you're a minority, and one of these days the politicians might just scare the majority into voting for you to be disarmed.

Depending upon how you slice up the "pie" of human society, there is SOME way in which YOU are in the minority. Ergo, there is some way that "democracy" can be used to oppress YOU, no matter how "normal" or "average" you think you might be. There is always some way to divide up society so you are on the losing end, in terms of numbers. And the tyrants are constantly looking for such divisions, to keep one group of people advocating the oppression of another.

Maybe most people in a particular town own dryers, so they vote to outlaw the use of clotheslines (which they think look too "low class"). Or maybe people over 21 vote to prohibit younger people from drinking or smoking. Or maybe a conservative majority votes to ban music or videos the majority finds offensive. Or maybe the people decide to ban the "environmentally unfriendly" gas-guzzlers driven by a quarter of the population. Maybe most of your neighbors, at the coaxing of the politicians, will decide they don't like your barbeque grill, or your dog, or the canoe you keep in your back yard, or your political yard sign, or your bumper- sticker. Maybe they don't like what you're teaching your kids. One way or another, the tyrants will find a way to control you, and, by using clever divide-and-conquer tactics, they will be able to do it in the name of "the people."

Then, of course, there is the supposed right that politicians have to steal ("taxation"). Whatever a majority wants, it will vote to force everyone--including the people who DON'T want it--to pay for it. Pacifists are forced to pay for war. Pot smokers are forced to pay for the "war on drugs." People who think government "welfare" rewards laziness are forced to pay for it anyway. Young people are forced to pay for old people to get "benefits" from the state. People who homeschool are forced to pay for schools they don't like and don't use.

The tyrants are well aware that if they chop up the "pie" of society in enough ways, EVERY piece of it is a minority, in one way or another. And whatever criteria is needed to put YOU into a category which includes 49% or less of the people, you can bet that, sooner or later, the tyrants will be urging the people on the OTHER side of that line to demand "laws" to control and rob YOU. Need proof? Consider this:

Is there anyone who approves of everything "government" does with his money? No. (Never mind that no one even KNOWS what all "government" does with his money.) Therefore, EVERYONE is being forced, via the "democracy" scam, to fund things he doesn't want to fund. The myth of "majority rule" (which is a lousy ideal anyway) is constantly used to force 100% of the population to fund things they oppose!

The bottom line is, through the cult of "democracy," tyrants can oppress and enslave EVERYONE, while in every case claiming it was the "will of the people," condoned by a majority. So the control freaks stomp on you, all your friends, all your neighbors, and everyone in your family, while at the same time tricking YOU into thinking it was YOUR idea, and pretending that "the people" CONSENTED to all of it. Ain't "democracy" wonderful?

There is only one way to avoid this. Dismiss the evil that calls itself "democracy." Stop partaking in the self-enslaving and neighbor-enslaving ritual of voting. Stop trying to get the Uber Nanny that is "government" to try to make other people into what you wish they were. Mind your own damn business. Spend your own damn money. Start THINKING, for a change, until you grasp the bleeding obvious principle of "self-ownership," where every individual belongs to HIMSELF, and no one else.

If the people did that, the best the tyrants could hope for is that a few dolts might, on an individual basis, advocate their OWN enslavement. And the rest of us--of all races, religions, ages, income levels, etc.--could start living like free human beings.

Dutch Freedom Shenanigans

Dutch Anarchists Fight For Freedom!

Freedom Shenanigans Around the World

Speed Cameras Blasted in Italy, The Netherlands, UK Speed cameras in Italy, The Netherlands and UK were blasted and swiped over Christmas week.

Speed cameras around the world were taken or destroyed last week. On December 27, vigilantes made off with a speed camera on Provincial Road 41 in the city of Cento, Italy in Ferrara. According to Estense, the automated ticketing machine was pulled down by an SUV with chains. In the town of Roccasecca in central Italy, vigilantes blasted a speed camera with a rifle. The device had been located at the 120km marker on the Via Casilina, La Notizia reported. An explosive device took out another camera in nearby Ausonia several months ago. In Hampshire, England vigilantes blasted a speed camera at around 2:30am on Christmas Day. The automated ticketing machine located in Eastleigh on Bishopstoke Road was left a twisted wreck, the Daily Mail reported. In The Netherlands, a 23-year-old minivan driver is the suspect in the bombing of a speed camera last week on Van Heemstra Avenue in Baarn. According to Baarn Police, a witness saw the minivan at the site prior to the explosion at around 1:20AM on Christmas. The suspect has been released pending trial.

Vigilantes Take on Speed Traps in Wyoming, Germany, Switzerland Vigilantes shoot variable speed trap signs in Wyoming, run over, burn and pull down speed cameras in Germany and Switzerland.

In Carbon County, Wyoming, armed vigilantes blasted a set of three Interstate 80 electronic speed limit signs on January 6. The devices allowed officials to lower the speed limit by remote control, creating a variable speed trap as passing trucks frequently obscured the signs leaving motorists with no idea the limit had been arbitrarily lowered from 75 MPH to as low as 35 MPH for a 52-mile stretch of the highly rural road. The state's transportation department offered a $2500 reward for the identity of the individuals responsible for doing the bullet damage estimated at $23,000. Officials had applied temporary repairs to the signs by January 8. Vigilantes in Bad Harzburg, Germany set fire to a speed camera on Monday. The device, located on Bundesstrasse 4, was completely destroyed. Police have no idea who might be responsible for having destroyed this and a dozen other speed cameras in the area over the past few years, Hamburger Abendblatt reported.
In Landshut, Germany on Tuesday a man rammed a mobile speed camera radar unit while it was unattended on state road 2083. Police were able to track down a 55-year-old man and have accused him of destroying the equipment, Straubinger Tagblatt reported. A video uploaded to YouTube last week appears to show a speed camera being dragged through the streets of Zurich, Switzerland after having been tied to a light rail system. The video provider explained that, "This speed camera gets a one way ticket to the end of the line."


Germany, UK: Speed Cameras Smashed and Burned
One speed camera housing in Dorset, England and three in Boeblingen, Germany attacked. Another camera in Osnabruck destroyed by fire.

Vigilantes burned a speed camera housing in Dorset, England last Tuesday at around 3am. A gasoline-filled tire was used to set the camera housing near the Bear Cross on fire, the Bournemouth Daily Echo reported. Officials claimed the camera housing was empty. Police have no idea who might be responsible.

Three of the five new column-mounted speed camera locations in Boeblingen, Germany were attacked last week. According to Stuttgarter Zeitung, only two of the city's camera locations contain the expensive photographic and laser equipment at any given time. Vigilantes smashed or removed the columns, but did not hit the sensitive electronics, according to police. Camera locations on Maurener Way, Sindelfinger Street and Tubingen Street were hit. The municipality pays about 75,000 Euros (US $100,000) to install each of the column-mounted speed camera devices.

Vigilantes in Osnabruck were able to destroy an older style of traffic camera last week. The device located on the B51 at Ostercappeln was first smashed with a hammer on January 23 at around 11pm and a 48-year-old man was taken into custody as a suspect. Last Monday, however, someone finished the job by setting the automated ticketing machine on fire, Osnabrucker Zeitung reported. The camera has been attacked a number of times since it was installed. In May 2006, the device was ripped out of the ground with a chain. In July 2006 and June 2009 it was smashed with a hammer.

UK, Canada: Speed Camera Toppled, Van Driver Harassed UK speed camera fails to save itself from drunk driving accident. Canadian photo radar driver alleges harassment.

A speed camera in the London, England borough of Hillingdon was knocked over by a suspected drunk driver on December 27, the Uxbridge Gazette reported. According to a witness, the device that officials claimed would help prevent collisions was smashed by an unidentified Land Rover driving dangerously on Long Lane. Unlike police patrols, speed cameras are unable to detect drunk or otherwise dangerous drivers that adhere to the posted speed limit. In Winnipeg, Canada the driver of a Dodge Caliber photo radar vehicle claimed that he was harassed on December 17, Quebec Media reported. The driver, who works for Dallas-based Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), asserted that a 24-year-old man hit and kicked the automated ticketing vehicle while yelling a death threat. There was no evidence of damage to the Dodge, but police tracked down the suspect and may file charges.

Why I Don't Watch the NEWS

Charlie explains why all NEWS is the same and why you don't really learn anything from it.

The Supreme Court of the United States denied the Hirmers' Petition for writ of certiorari

If you at all wonder why I often say, "The Law Is a Fraud!" This is why! Law = Theology.
Both are based upon some special expert person with special expert insight to tell YOU what the "Deity" or "Law" says about YOU.
It is always open to interpretation by the ruling "revelators;" prophets, lawyers, judges of the day. There are NO absolutes, NO immutability, NO divine revelation! The only absolute in the law is the ruling revelator's willingness to use lethal coercion to enforce their interpretation of TheoLawlogy.
This is why Your belief in and reliance upon this shifting quicksand of "lawfulness" must come to an end. Embrace your inner outlaw! Attend to the only law that has ever naturally existed, Natural Law. Embrace what "Nature's God" has shown by example, the Talion Law. The right to retributive justice.
Quit going to the "matrix" for justice. The truism is oft repeated ad nauseum that, "No man is above the law." Humbuggery, Balderdash and Drool!! Man has ALWAYS placed himself above the law because it is up to man to interpret "the law." PoLice, prosecutors, lawyers and judges place themselves above the law everyday by their interpretations of what the "law" means and how to enforce it. Grammar, semantics, hermeneutics means nothing to those whose pattern and practice is deception and brigandism.
Below is evidence again of wherewith I speak!
Nemo me impune lacessit
Eye for eye
Tooth for tooth
Mercy my option
Not my imperative

Please distribute to your mailing list: 

The Supreme Court of the United States denied the Hirmers' Petition for writ of 
certiorari. 
 
Despite having uncontroverted evidence that several states intentionally amended 
the language of the 16th Amendment as proposed by Congress, conduct the 
government admits violates Art. V of the Constitution, district court judges in 
Pensacola, Florida and Chicago, Illinois, the entire panel of the 7th Circuit 
court of appeals, three judges in the 11th Circuit court of appeals, and at 
least five judges of the Supreme Court (I don't know if any of the judges voted 
to grant cert) have each violated their oaths to support and defend the 
constitution. 
 
The denial of the petition for writ of cert in the Benson case has ended that 
case. The criminal trial of the Hirmers is scheduled to commence on March 1st. I 
am currently preparing for trial. The trial is expected to last between three 
and six months. 
 
So what is next now that we know for a certainty that the federal courts are 
closed to protecting the Constitution, and the people, from fraud of the 
Executive branch of government in the collection of the federal income tax, and 
are closed to protecting the First and Fifth amendment rights of those who would 
expose that fraud? 
 
I believe it is now incumbent upon the people to press Congress to remove the 
culprit judges from office for bad behavior through the impeachment process. The 
second is that the people need to press Congress to declare the 16th Amendment 
not ratified. Third, is that the people need to take action to widely publicize 
the conduct of the federal judiciary and the attorneys working for the goverment 
in order to bring about the first and second actions. 
 
Hopefully, there are those among you with the fortitude to assume positions of 
leadership to bring about the above suggestions. 
 
Sincerely,

Ed and Elaine Brown join the rest of the martyrs of IRS Infamy

It is another sad day for freedom lovers in this fascist, corporate controlled fake country.

NH tax evader gets 37 years on weapons charges

By KATHY McCORMACK Associated Press Writer The Associated Press

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A tax-evading man convicted of amassing an arsenal of weapons was sentenced Monday to 37 years in federal prison.

An attorney for Ed Brown had argued his client suffers from a delusional disorder and asked for the minimum mandatory sentence of 30 years, saying it was enough and amounted to a life sentence for the 67-year-old Brown. Prosecutors sought a sentence of almost 50 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge George Singal found Brown competent and sentenced him to 37 years, saying he found Brown "unrepentant."

Brown made several outbursts throughout the hearing. At one point, Brown was removed from court when he would not be quiet during a forensic psychologist's testimony; Singal referred to him as a 6-year-old child needing a time-out.

Later on, as Singal was sentencing him, Brown started laughing and said, "Give me 500 years sir; make yourself happy." He then stood up and was escorted out of the courtroom.

Brown and his wife, Elaine, were in a nine-month standoff with authorities in 2007 after they were sentenced to five years in prison for tax evasion. U.S. marshals posing them as supporters arrested them peacefully; no shots were fired. The couple were convicted of the most recent charges in July.

Elaine Brown was sentenced in October to 35 years in prison.

When it was Brown's turn to address the court, he rambled on for 45 minutes about how it was his duty to protect the U.S. Constitution and how the government has been run by Freemasons and the U.S. attorney's office since the Civil War.

"I didn't realize the criminal element was them," he said, saying more than once he wished he could've introduced evidence supporting his arguments, but was refused.

"We haven't hurt a soul," Brown said of he and his wife. "They attacked us; we didn't attack them."

He added, "We just asked a question: Show me the law about taxes from Day 1."

Brown began his statement by saying that no one really knew who the real Ed and Elaine Brown, except a few supporters in court. During the sentencing, he nodded at Marie Miller of Farmington, who said she's a longtime friend of the Browns.

"My heart aches over this travesty," Miller said. "They are very lovely people." She added that she did not think the trial was fair and hopes to visit Elaine Brown in federal prison. "This is a sad day."

During the trial, Ed Brown testified that the weapons were for self-defense and the explosives in the woods around their home were to scare intruders, not harm them. But in a radio interview during the standoff, he said if authorities came to kill him or arrest him "the chief of police in this town, the sheriff, the sheriff himself will die. This is war now, folks."

The Browns were convicted of conspiracy to prevent their arrests, conspiracy to forcibly resist arrest, possessing weapons and explosives "in furtherance of crimes of violence," being felons in possession of firearms, obstruction of justice and failure to appear for sentencing. Ed Brown also was convicted to appear at his tax evasion trial.

FROZEN GORE Blows Hot Air!

This says it all! The Frozen Al Gore Ice Block spewing hot air! "Frozen Gore" is a dig at Gore's beliefs about climate change. With the world in the grip of a cold wave, belief in "Global Warming" and the accompanying economic restrictions is like slowing dental care because "Tooth Fairies" are being put out of business.

A Horror Story from England

Wow! I just heard about this today. Still a little behind on my web reading. Watch England folks because they are only a few years ahead of US when it comes to "Big Brother" types of freedom stealing. Our "PATRIOT ACT" has sections that can be construed to be interpreted similarly as the British have done to this guy. BTW thanks to Ken Holder at The Libertarian Enterprise for putting this out, BTW if you are not reading The Libertarian Enterprise you are missing out. Good Shenaniganders make their own untraceable weapons.

A Horror Story from England
by "Musket Mike" of Montana

Attribute to The Libertarian Enterprise

Here in the States we have our own horror stories about issues surrounding police abuses of power but every once in a while we hear a horror story from England that is enough to send shivers down the spine.

At 2.15 pm on 5/20/09 the author of the Expedient Homemade Firearms books, Philip A.Luty was arrested at gunpoint by the British "North East Counter Terrorism Unit" (NECTU). Philip is the well known author of Expedient Homemade Firearms—The 9mm machine gun. [Buy at Amazon.com]

Numerous other books and information on building improvised firearms were available on Philip's website www.thehomegunsmith.com. The website has, I am told, been temporarily closed until security measures can be put in place to prevent British police from tracing and visiting those who downloaded publications from the site. More on this chilling development later. Following Philip Luty's arrest he was held in a London prison for over nine weeks before obtaining bail. This is the second time Philip has been arrested and questioned by British police over the books he writes and sells via his website. No, Philip Luty is not a terrorist, nor does he have any links to terrorists, but it seems that in the UK today the British police are not just happy with obtaining a ban on most types of legal firearms but also want a ban on any publication that shows how to build a firearm and/or ammunition. Hence the quite unbelievable persecution of those who sell firearms related publications. As I said earlier this is the second time Philip has been arrested and questioned. In 2005 he was arrested and questioned over his books and website. At that time the British "Crown Prosecution Service" (CPS) took no further action and the case against Philip collapsed. Undeterred by this failure, the police waited another three years and then charged him under the UK Terrorism Act 2000. The wording of the charges is that Philip "MADE A RECORD OF INFORMATION THAT COULD ASSIST TERRORISTS". No folks, I am not joking. In the UK British police are now trying to create a link between those who commit terrorist acts and those who write gunsmithing publications. Oh yes, I mentioned above a "chilling development". That is putting it mildly. It turns out that at the same time that Philip was arrested the British police (Gestapo?) paid a visit to over fifty other people across the UK who had downloaded books from Philip's website.

A Very Worrying Situation

The fact that Philip Luty was arrested and charged under a terrorism act and then held in prison for many weeks is appalling enough, especially when I am told Philip is also suffering from cancer of the esophagus. But, even more worrying is the fact that the British police could trace those who had downloaded books from his website, and then pay them a visit. This is a new and frightening development to anyone who cares about freedom and privacy of the individual.

The question every American, and even more importantly every Englishman, must ask themselves is whether Britain is a hitherto unknown satellite state of the former USSR.

This horror story gives a new meaning to the term "on-line security".

When the police of any country start to arrest and prosecute authors, and do likewise with the readers of their publications after tracing them through online transactions, we need to ask serious questions about the extent of police power. I would suggest most strongly that the country with the highest number of surveillance cameras monitoring the population, and the largest DNA database in the world, has fallen to a new low on the barometer of freedom. Books on gunsmithing and the home workshop manufacture of firearms have been on bookshelves, and more recently on the internet, for at least the past forty years.

But of course the individual gun book author is an easy target for the British police.

"Buying Securely On-Line" has new Meaning

Just imagine downloading a book, a perfectly legal gunsmithing book, purchased as the disclaimer in the book says, "for academic study only", and then finding yourself being questioned or even raided by the British Gestapo! Secure on-line shopping has a new meaning. I, perhaps like you, like reading books on the homeworkshop-built firearm. If I decide to act on the information in the book and use the information to build something illegal or commit an illegal act then that is my private decision. How the hoot in hell can an author be held responsible for what a reader of his book does or how he behaves? Does the hardware store proprietor become responsible if he sells a hammer to a person who then decides to commit a hammer murder? What about the car dealer who sells a car to someone who decides to mow down kids in a play area with his one ton killing machine. Is the dealer responsible? However in the case of Philip Luty we are only talking about the sale of legal publications, not a hammer, gun, knife or car. Obviously British police fear information in the hands of the people just as much as a gun or knife. And what about the publisher of a book? Assuming the book is not published by the author will we see book publishers arrested for publishing material that does not meet the approval of the State? When authors and publishers have to censor or moderate their own material under fear of coming to the attention of state sanctioned "thought police", the freedom of the press and the free dissemination of ideas is in peril.

Britons needs to wake up and smell the coffee. They need to realise that they are one foot too far along the slippery slope to a totalitarian society. Americans also need to take note of what has happened on the other side of the Atlantic to one solitary gun rights campaigner and stop being so apathetic to the rights given to them by men of inspired intelligence in the form of the US constitution.

If you live in England I would strongly suggest downloading any of Philip Luty's books onto CD at your local anonymous internet café and then taking them home to enjoy. This may keep the grasping hand of Britain's thought police from molesting your door handle.

I would like to thank Mr.Luty for updating me on his situation.

"I may disagree with what you write but I will defend to the death your right to write it".

Editor's note: Phil's books can be downloaded from these links:

33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know...

33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True

By Jonathan Elinoff, New World Order Report

Most people can't resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue ... and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous. Lets not forget all of the thousands of conspiracies out of Wall Street like Bernie Madoff and many others to commit fraud and extortion, among many crimes of conspiracy. USA Today reports that over 75% of personal ads in the paper and on craigslist are married couples posing as single for a one night affair...
Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy. However, it has come almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning...
Skeptics are important in achieving an objective view of reality, however, skeptism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline. In fact, a conspiracy theory can be argued as an alternative to the official or “mainstream” story of events. Therefore, when skeptics attempt to ridicule a conspiracy theory by using the official story as a means of proving the conspiracy wrong, in effect, they are just reinforcing the original “mainstream” view of history, and actually not being skeptical. This is not skeptism, it is just a convenient way for the establishment view of things to be seen as the correct version, all the time, every time...
In fact, if one were to look into conspiracy theories, they will largely find that thinking about a conspiracy is associated with lunacy and paranoia. Some websites suggest it as an illness. It is also not surprising to see so many people on the internet writing about conspiracy theories in a condescending tone, usually with the words "kool-aid," "crack pot," or "nut job" in their articulation...
While intelligent cynicism certainly can be healthy, though, some of the greatest discoveries of all time were initially received (often with great vitriol) as blasphemous conspiracy theories -- think of the revelation that the earth was not the center of the universe, or that the world was not flat but actually round...
What follows are some of these most shocking modern conspiracy theories that turned out true after thorough investigation by our society. Some through congressional hearings, others through investigative journalism. Many of these, however, were just admitted to by those involved. These are just 33 of them, and I still had a long list of others to add. Many of these are listed with original and credible news clips on the matter, as well as documentaries.

Everybody's an Anal Orifice (especially politicians and poLice)

After 25+ years of trying to wake people up sometimes I just feel this way. I know that you do too. So what do we do? Recognize that most people are sheeple. That everyone at sometime or another is an anal orifice. The message of liberty is for those who have ears to hear it. That some will never get it, they rather follow the herd. Oh, but some do get it and they help to spread the liberty virus and infect the body politic. Here's to new Freedom Shenanigans in 2010.

TSA Threatens Blogger Who Posted New Screening Directive

Ok so now the TSA is trying to blame shift their screw-up by acting tough with some guys who repeated what the TSA had already sent out to 10,000 plus people. The TSA must be eliminated! Grab this TSA goon's (Special Agent John Enright) picture. He needs some shenanigans done to him. Just doing his job? Wrong job, wrong way, wrong wrong, wrong. Oh, and BTW you nomianismists, the law is a fraud and is NO moral excuse for doing wrong no matter how "legal" it is.

TSA Special Agent John Enright, left, speaks to Steven Frischling outside the blogger's home in Niantic, Connecticut, after returning Frischling's laptop Wednesday. Photo: Thomas Cain/Wired.com

Excerpt: From WIRED.com's THREAT LEVEL

"Special agents from the TSA’s Office of Inspection interrogated two U.S. bloggers, one of them an established travel columnist, and served them each with a civil subpoena demanding information on the anonymous source that provided the TSA document.

The document, which the two bloggers published within minutes of each other Dec. 27, was sent by TSA to airlines and airports around the world and described temporary new requirements for screening passengers through Dec. 30, including conducting “pat-downs” of legs and torsos. The document, which was not classified, was posted by numerous bloggers. Information from it was also published on some airline websites.

“They’re saying it’s a security document but it was sent to every airport and airline,” says Steven Frischling, one of the bloggers. “It was sent to Islamabad, to Riyadh and to Nigeria. So they’re looking for information about a security document sent to 10,000-plus people internationally. You can’t have a right to expect privacy after that.”

Frischling, a freelance travel writer and photographer in Connecticut who writes a blog for the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, said the two agents who visited him arrived around 7 p.m. Tuesday, were armed and threatened him with a criminal search warrant if he didn’t provide the name of his source. They also threatened to get him fired from his KLM job and indicated they could get him designated a security risk, which would make it difficult for him to travel and do his job.

“They were indicating there would be significant ramifications if I didn’t cooperate,” said Frischling, who was home alone with his three children when the agents arrived. “It’s not hard to intimidate someone when they’re holding a 3-year-old [child] in their hands. My wife works at night. I go to jail, and my kids are here with nobody.”

Frischling, who described some of the details of the visit on his personal blog, told Threat Level that the two agents drove to his house in Connecticut from DHS offices in Massachusetts and New Jersey and didn’t mention a subpoena until an hour into their visit.

“They came to the door and immediately were asking, ‘Who gave you this document?, Why did you publish the document?’ and ‘I don’t think you know how much trouble you’re in.’ It was very much a hardball tactic,” he says.

When they pulled a subpoena from their briefcase and told him he was legally required to provide the information they requested, he said he needed to contact a lawyer. The agents said they’d sit outside his house until he gave them the information they wanted."

Cop Went Wild With Taser, Diabetic Says

Do I really need to add anything to this? Yup I do! This cop needs to be tasered in the same way as he did to this man. Retributive Justice. In the long run it is the ONLY thing that stops them from doing worse.

Cop Went Wild With Taser, Diabetic Says
By ROBERT KAHN

(CN) - A suburban Chicago police officer Tasered a man 11 times while he was having a diabetic seizure, and the 56 seconds of needlessly inflicted electric shock, "inflicted ... while he was lying unresponsive on the floor of his bedroom, permanently scarred [him] and caused him neurological damage that has not abated," the man claims in Chicago Federal Court.
Prospero Lassi says he suffered a diabetes-induced seizure at home on April 9. His roommate called 911, and police from LaGrange Park and Brookfield responded, with EMTs from LaGrange Park.
Lassi says his roommate explained to police that he was having a diabetic seizure. Lassi "was not alert and could not move his body."
When the EMTs asked the cops to help them move Lassi from where he was lying on the floor, Lassi says, one of his "arms flailed during his diabetes-induced seizure, striking one of the LaGrange and Brookfield defendants. At no time did Mr. Lassi intentionally strike or offensively touch any of the LaGrange or Brookfield defendants."
Lassi says LaGrange Park Officer Darren Pedota responded by Tasering him 11 times, for nearly a minute, as he lay helpless.
He was hospitalized for 5 days, and was unable to work for 3 months because of the attack, "and his quality of life has suffered substantially," Lassi says.
"At no time did Mr. Lassi do anything to warrant the use of force against him. Mr. Lassi was never cited, arrested, or charged with any crime," according to the complaint.
He seeks punitive damages for battery, excessive force, and failure to intervene. He is represented by Arthur Loevy of Loevy & Loevy.

STOP FLYING!!!

When will you herded sheeple learn to stop flying? If there was a major boycott of air travel the Obamanation would then have to step in to "save" the airlines. That would start another round of government intervention that would create enough incompetence, pain and misery that the mind-dead populace would be aroused from its slumber for a while by discomfort.

On the other hand, why stop with just the full body scans? I am ALL for a mandatory semi-nude flying rule. Everyone that flies excluding pilots, must fly in "see-through security flight suits." Only under garments, or "swim" wear, now to be called "flight security modesty garments" will be allowed under the vinyl see-through security flight suits.

Ahhh just think of it. No more hassle of wondering what to wear on the flight. Hundreds of travelers in their underwear, wearing what was formerly known as transparent rain gear, sitting for "no more than three hours" on the runway waiting for take off. Yes, the smell, feel and sound of grandma's vinyl clad furniture on a warm summer day in your shorts.

Think of all the great looking bodes you will get to see. Just like a day at the beach, well kind of. You may just have to avert your eyes here or there, but it will be worth the discomfort to check out the good looking ones.

On the other hand, maybe for some guys that would create another kind of "groin bomb." Hmmm, could an air marshal arrest a guy for an involuntary erection? I can see the headlines now. "Men Arrested for Unauthorized Items in their Laps. Several young men and some middle aged men were arrested and removed from the plane when they refused to follow the orders of an air marshal to unerect their penises on command. The flight was carrying the final competitors of the national wet tee shirt team to a contest in L.A."

Maybe that is what it will take to get some of you to wake up and realize that it is ALL about control and money. TSA is the problem. If you want your freedom back, you are going to have to Seize it back!

"And all because the TSA once again failed. Remember that this agency hit headlines a mere fortnight ago for leaking its top-secret security manual on the internet; now, a possible reader slipped past checkpoints with PETN on him. You might think the TSA would slink away in defeat and shame; instead, it came out swinging – at passengers. They paid the price with onerous new restrictions for its bungling, as they always do when an incident like Flight 253 proves the TSA’s utter irrelevance. Perhaps it hopes that harassing and humiliating us more than usual will distract us from its culpability.

The rules are so ridiculous the Mad Hatter must have dreamed them up. "Passengers [on international flights arriving in the US] must remain in seats beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination…Passengers may not have any blankets, pillows, or personal belongings on the lap beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination." Victims also suffer a "thorough" groping at the "boarding gate prior to boarding, concentrating on upper legs and torso" – unless they are "Heads of State or Heads of Government." Yep, murderous criminals who start wars and steal our money are "exempt from the measures." The TSA hasn’t yet prohibited passengers from becoming sick at 30,000 feet, but if you do, kindly conduct your business in the plane’s loo quickly: "an air marshal, his badge visible" arrested one man on Sunday’s Flight 253 who objected to emerging "while still unwell."

Meanwhile, the Napster was on a truth-telling jag. She also astoundingly admitted that "…the system worked. …The passengers and crew of the flight took appropriate action."

Janet isn’t the first of Our Rulers to divulge this damaging info. In 2007, the Government Accountability Office reported that the TSA "considers…able-bodied passengers to be an important layer of aviation security" because they will "engage in self-defense actions should an incident occur onboard commercial aircraft." That’s right: taxpayers deprived of all weapons and defenses but fingernails, whom the TSA suspects for terrorists and abuses accordingly, not only comprise one of its often-hyped "layers of security" but an "important" one! Is this complete, jaw-dropping insanity or what? And why are we paying $7 billion a year for these thugs to molest and insult us when, in the end, they count on us to defeat terrorists? Finally, exactly how does the TSA expect us to "engage in self-defense actions" after stealing our knitting needles and pocket-knives? Heck, once a screener finishes robbing us, we can’t even squirt Listerine at a terrorist’s eyes. Shouldn’t these wingdings hand out Saturday Night Specials at the gate instead?"

He fought the Nazis. He braved the Pacific. And he hated being called a hero

Knut Haugland: A real-life Hero's adventure story

He fought the Nazis. He braved the Pacific. And he hated being called a hero. Jonathan Brown looks at the extraordinary career of Knut Haugland, the last Kon-Tiki survivor.

Adventure stories rarely come more epic than that of Knut Haugland, the Norwegian resistance fighter who died on Christmas Day at the age of 92. His exploits were already the stuff of legend even before he joined Thor Heyerdahl's crew aboard his balsa wood raft, Kon-Tiki. Together they not only conquered the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean using only the most primitive of technologies – but in doing so, they helped rejuvenate the crushed spirit of human endeavour in the bleak aftermath of the Second World War.

A heavily decorated commando who escaped three times from the clutches of the Nazis, his bravery and endurance gave rise to one of the most enduring legends of the Second World War – one retold in spectacular style in a Hollywood movie.

Yesterday Haugland's successor as director of the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo, where thousands flock each year to relive the optimism and excitement of that intrepid voyage, announced that the former radio operator had succumbed to natural causes in a city hospital, closing the final chapter on an extraordinary life.

Haugland's death, following that of Heyerdahl himself in 2002, marks the passing of the last of the six-man crew that set sail from Callao in Peru in April 1947, bound several thousand nautical miles for the far-flung islands of Polynesia based on little more than an anthropological hunch. That journey set a new benchmark for modern adventurers, spawning an international best-selling book published in 66 languages and an Oscar-winning film in which Haugland played himself. It also helped popularise Heyerdahl's passionately held belief that the great oceans had been highways and not barriers for the movement of ancient seafaring civilisations. MORE
