Libertarian Commentary on the News, #13-23A: Terrorism and Tyranny

War against some drugs – State tyranny
Colorado: Marijuana “porn law” found [sic] unconstitutional

(San Francisco Chronicle) “Colorado Attorney General John Suthers wrote yesterday that marijuana- related magazines like High Times are not the same as pornography. The statement is a major blow to a law that would have forced cannabis periodicals off newsstands in the state. Recently passed Colorado law HB 13-1317 would have placed High Times next to Penthouse and Hustler, behind the counter in liquor stores. High Times and the American Civil Liberties Union sued, saying the bill violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.” (06/06/13)

Nathan: Of course, a state’s AG is not (YET) a jury or judge, but still, the General Assembly deserves a slap across its collective face for this insane bit of business.  It is time to revolt against this kind of stupidity.  But of course, the Attorney General is too stupid to note that the issue is NOT the First Amendment of the US Constitution that regulates here, but Section 10 of the Colorado Bill of Rights: Section 10. Freedom of speech and press. No law shall be passed impairing the freedom of speech; every person shall be free to speak, write or publish whatever he will on any subject, being responsible for all abuse of that liberty; and in all suits and prosecutions for libel the truth thereof may be given in evidence, and the jury, under the direction of the court, shall determine the law and the fact.

The AG and his boss have, of course, together with the Colorado “Unified Court System” already negated the last part of Section 10, since they do NOT allow the jury to determine the law, but that is what it says.  It is, again TIME FOR REVOLT against the arrogant politicians that infest Denver and have ruined a once-great state.

Theft by government – Parasites
Government[s] Employed 92,000 Additional People in May

(CNSNews.com) While federal employment is actually down, and government worker unemployment is up slightly, overall, there are more than 20 MILLION Americans working for government.

Nathan: Is this sick or what?  No wonder our economy can’t recover.  There are only about 160 million people employed in the US: so 1 in EIGHT are government! Yes, I know that many government workers CLAIM to be productive members of society, and a few actually ARE productive, paid for the services that they provide and some even paid VOLUNTARILY by those they provide services to.  But MOST are parasites, and we got almost a hundred thousand more parasites last month.

Congress in action – Theft by government – Abominable Act
Pelosi: ‘You’re Mandated to Have Health Insurance, Yes, You Will Have An Increase’

(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: To but it properly, she admits that she LIED.  To the American people, and to her constituents, in San Francisco, as I recall.  Of course, the majority of San Franciscans are completely morally bankrupt (just like her) so they don’t care if she lied or not.  Just like they don’t care if government steals.  It is time to revolt against this: just repealing the Abominable Act is not enough: getting rid of the parasites like this woman is also needed, and getting rid of all of Congress not beyond reason.

Tyranny – Terrorism
U.S. Spy Agency Taps Directly Into Google, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, Apple, Skype, AOL

(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: And you don’t think that they aren’t doing it on your home and business landlines, too, you are very, very stupid indeed.  It is insane to allow this to continue.  It is time to revolt against this.  It is time to end the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, and all the other tools of tyranny and the murdering, abusing, terrorist thugs who man them.  And the Congress that let this happen: no, that MADE this happen.

Mama’s Note: Well, a fair number of people are open to suggestions… how do you think we can put a stop to it?

Congress in action – Tyranny
Boehner: Let Obama Explain Why NSA is Collecting Verizon Phone Records

(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Oh, he already has: it is to protect our liberties from the evil terrorists.  We have nothing to worry about, he is the government and he is helping us.  Folks, it is time to revolt, and that includes revolting against Congress and pusillanimous politicos like this idiot Boehner.

Tyranny – Terrorism
Clapper Insists Internet Data Mining Deliberately Targets Only ‘Non-US Persons’

(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: Yes, of course.  It is to help us keep our freedom, our liberty, our lives.  It is the government and they are here to help us.  Clapper lies now like Pelosi did about the Abominable Act.  It is time to revolt.  it is time not just to end the agencies, it is time to revolt against the evil, ugly tyranny that the federal government and state governments have become.  And I’ve got news for Clapper: “non-US persons” are people too – people with rights.   For more lies:

Congress in action – Tyranny
Feinstein and Chambliss on Metadata: ‘It’s Called Protecting America’

(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: What “America?”  They have killed it – and collecting metadata will not protect its corpse, just the Powers That Be.  And speaking of protecting something that does not exist:

Congress in action – Tyranny/War on religion
House Panel Moves to Protect Religious Liberty for Military

(CNSNews.com)

Nathan: There IS no more religious liberty for military personnel and families or anyone else in this country: just privileges that they haven’t taken away from us yet.  But these Congressmen are either too stupid to understand that, or too much liars to speak the truth.

Home front – Self defense NOT
Looters cross country to rob devastated Oklahoma

MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say looters have come from as far away as New York and Virginia to steal from victims of last month’s tornado in Moore, Okla.

Mama’s Note: I thought the folks of Oklahoma were armed and free to defend themselves and their property. Why aren’t these looters being shot?

Nathan: The Powers That Be no longer allow people to defend their homes ESPECIALLY when they are destroyed:  they are, directly or indirectly even in Oklahoma, disarming them; driving them to fear even to CARRY lest they be arrested and thrown into prison for trying to defend their property and their families.  The federal and state and local governments are enabling the looters: perhaps they recognize kindred spirits, when push comes to shove.

Tyranny and Terrorism
Dirty Bomb Blows Liberty – Commentary by Al Lewis
(Wall Street Journal) Here’s how terrorism really works: Slaughter people on national TV, and watch a nation that prides itself on freedom as it shackles itself.

The feds at airports start patting privates and taking pictures with cameras that can see through clothes. Security cameras go up everywhere. The spooks in Washington set up massive Internet surveillance operations and obtain secret court orders to obtain everyone’s phone records. Once it starts, it can’t be stopped.

Nathan: Thanks to David and Debby for this one.  Terrorism HAS won; the only hope is that there will be pieces of liberty not contaminated with the dirty bomb.  Simply repealing the USA PATRIOT Act, simply impeaching, trying, and executing the man in 1600 Pennsylvania and his minions is NOT going to be enough.  You cannot glue Humpty Dumpty together again.  The corpse of the Republic has now rotted; the spirit is in perdition.
