Must Watch Video: Is the NDAA Lawsuit Headed to the Supreme Court?

The NDAA lawsuit is one of the key topics I have written about over the past year or so.  For those of you that aren’t up to speed, one of the most popular posts I ever wrote was NDAA: The Most Important Lawsuit in American History that No One is Talking About.  Basically, Section 1021 of … Read more

Are “Mandatory Mental Health Assessments” for Children Coming to Connecticut?

In case you haven’t heard, Bill 374 has been proposed in Connecticut’s General Assembly seemingly in response to the Sandy Hook tragedy.  Just another brilliant response to a random act of violence; you know, because the state’s gun control laws worked so well.  Notice how everything is starting to become “mandatory” these days.  I wonder how … Read more

When Lindsay Graham and Barrack Obama Agree…Run the Other Way Fast

The easiest way for a patriotic, civil liberties defending U.S. citizen to know whether to support or oppose an issue is when two of the most authoritative, narcissistic politicians from the two controlled political in America are in strong agreement. In this case, I am referring to Lindsay Graham and Barrack Obama’s recent love fest … Read more

Dogs in England Must Have Microchips by 2016

Nice work England.  After all, why should anyone have the right to make any decisions of their own anymore?  I’m just surprised NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg didn’t come up with this plan first.  Today it will be animals, tomorrow it will be people.  This stinks of a conditioning program to me.  For example, one of the main reasons cited for this is that: “Microchipping is a simple solution that gives peace of mind to owners.”  Wouldn’t chipping children give also give peace of mind to parents?  My issue isn’t that people may want to use this technology, but they should not be forced to by law.  Apparently, the fine for not chipping your dog with be $800.  Is this a per year amount, or will they charge you $800 when caught and then take your dog and chip it?  This is extremely disturbing.  From CBS News:

All dogs in England will have to be fitted with microchips by 2016, authorities said, meaning that canines across the country will be chasing cars with a tiny circuit embedded in the back of their necks.

Brilliant Interview: “The Paranoia of the Superrich and Superpowerful”

Huge efforts have been devoted since to inculcating the New Spirit of the Age. Major industries are devoted to the task: public relations, advertising, marketing generally, all of which add up to a very large component of the Gross Domestic Product. They are dedicated to what the great political economist Thorstein Veblen called “fabricating wants.” In the words of business leaders themselves, the task is to direct people to “the superficial things” of life, like “fashionable consumption.” That way people can be atomized, separated from one another, seeking personal gain alone, diverted from dangerous efforts to think for themselves and challenge authority.

– Noam Chomsky from his amazing essay, How the Magna Carta became a Minor Carta

I remember that back when I was younger, whenever I heard the name Noam Chomsky the words “anti-American radical” would pop into my head.  This is despite the fact that I had never read anything he ever wrote, nor ever heard him speak.  Looking back, I realize that this is how powerful brainwashing functions  The most effective propaganda is the one that makes you think your opinions and biases come from your own mind.  No matter what you think you think of Noam Chomsky, this interview is a must read.  He even exposes fake liberals for the frauds they are.

From the Huffington Post:

Question: Does the United States still have the same level of control over the energy resources of the Middle East as it once had?

Chomsky:  The major energy-producing countries are still firmly under the control of the Western-backed dictatorships. So, actually, the progress made by the Arab Spring is limited, but it’s not insignificant. The Western-controlled dictatorial system is eroding. In fact, it’s been eroding for some time. So, for example, if you go back 50 years, the energy resources — the main concern of U.S. planners — have been mostly nationalized. There are constantly attempts to reverse that, but they have not succeeded.

Take the U.S. invasion of Iraq, for example. To everyone except a dedicated ideologue, it was pretty obvious that we invaded Iraq not because of our love of democracy but because it’s maybe the second- or third-largest source of oil in the world, and is right in the middle of the major energy-producing region. You’re not supposed to say this. It’s considered a conspiracy theory.

America in 2013: For-Profit Prisons Get Favorable Tax Breaks

Here’s a great idea.  At a time when the debt of the country is exploding exponentially and we are running budget deficits that would be the envy of any banana republic, let’s give favorable tax treatment to for-profit prison companies.  This is a growth industry that we should all support, who cares that these United States has 5% of the World’s Population, yet 25% of its Prisoners.  May as well try to improve on that; just imagine how high we could get the prison population if we actually put a banker in jail?  From Forbes:

In early January 2013, both Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and the GEO Group – the nation’s two largest private prison companies that control a combined 75 percent of the for-profit prison market in the United States – announced that they had each completed preliminary plans to convert their corporate structure to a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).

REITs are designed for companies that primarily invest in and generate revenue from real estate holdings, such as hotel chains; like other publicly-held corporations they trade on the stock market. There are special tax advantages for REITs, which generally pay no income tax. They also must distribute at least 90 percent of their income to shareholders in the form of dividends.

Meet ARGUS: The World’s Highest Resolution Video Surveillance Platform

The most interesting this about this creepy camera brought to you by the kind folks at the Defense Advance d Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is the fact that just like in George Orwell’s classic dystopic novel 1984, the government wants you to know they have this technology.  From ExtremeTech:

DARPA and the US Army have taken the wraps off ARGUS-IS, a 1.8-gigapixel video surveillance platform that can resolve details as small as six inches from an altitude of 20,000 feet (6km). ARGUS is by far the highest-resolution surveillance platform in the world, and probably the highest-resolution camera in the world, period.

ARGUS, which would be attached to some kind of unmanned UAV (such as the Predator) and flown at an altitude of around 20,000 feet, can observe an area of 25 square kilometers (10sqmi) at any one time. If ARGUS was hovering over New York City, it could observe half of Manhattan. Two ARGUS-equipped drones, and the US could keep an eye on the entirety of Manhattan, 24/7.

Mayor Bloomberg and His Security Force Don’t Like Being Questioned on Gun Control

I’m sure many of you have already seen this, but if not it’s an entertaining watch.  Your Royal Highness doesn’t appreciate being questioned by this lowly peasant.  The hypocrisy is endless, which is why the oligarchs are losing the debate.  No worries, the Feinstein legislation is written so now all they need is another event … Read more
