TSA: About Control

So, while there still are people who claim the TSA is doing what they’re doing for safety, this story makes it very, very clear that this has absolutely nothing to do with safety.

In the story, a man strips instead of submitting to a groping. He strips down to his underwear. At the point, it is obvious to everyone that he has no explosives. So, at this point, Mr. Wolanyk is no danger to anyone. So what does the TSA do? They arrest him.

Again, after making it very obvious that Mr. Wolanyk has NO weapons or explosives or ANY kind of prohibited item, the TSA arrests him. On what charges? Failing to complete the security scan and — get this, it’s a new one — illegally recording!

The TSA is making this clear — they are NOT going to back down. Instead, they have identified the enemy, and it is people. The TSA has increased the odds. If you now refuse to follow their orders — any orders — you will be jailed and fined. If you do not submit, or attempt to record them, you will be jailed. This, very clearly, has absolutely NOTHING to do with anyone’s security. You are guilty beyond any reasonable doubt if you enter an airport, period. Oh sure, they’re just “following orders.”

I found this post interesting. In it, various TSA officers are reported as saying how sad they are for the comments they get from people. My response? Too bad they’re not getting more comments. Nope, sorry, I have NO PITY for these people. They are scum (and I really don’t say that lightly). If your job is really that bad, quit! I’m serious. Maybe that’s the only way to get these bastards to stop — keep insulting them until enough of them quit that the TSA just can’t do their “job” any more. The TSA agents are NOT “people like everyone else.” They’re people who are molesting and arresting others.

On the good side, perhaps this will be enough to finally wake people up and start a revolution for freedom. Hey, I can dream.

Margarine = Jail

Wow. Just, Wow. I know, I shouldn’t be amazed. But still. I’m really almost beyond words when I read that simply eating margarine can get you jailed in Baltimore.

And yes, there are sadly tons of people who are running around, saying what a wonderful thing this is. They’re “helping people.” I’m having a hard time not thinking really bad things about people like Baltimore Health Department agent Juan Gutierrez. Mr. Gutierrez, you seriously suck. Oh sure, you’re “just doing your job.” You still absolutely suck.

Baltimore Commissioner of Health, Dr. Oxiris Barbot, you’re an ass. I’m sorry, but he is. And sadly, I would tell that to him to his face. I wish I didn’t need to. There’s a time when simple words don’t do enough. This isn’t about taking “the other side.” This is about a number of people who want to THROW YOU IN JAIL or kill you if you serve the “wrong” margarine.

Just think about that — if you serve the wrong food, THEY WILL KILL YOU. Oh, of course, Mr. Barbot and Mr. Gutierrez won’t — but they won’t have any qualms about sending someone else to (that would be the police).

See — now this is why I don’t believe that the people left in this country will ever rise up against this government. To see how well we, the servants of government, are trained, one need look no further than the person who was deemed to be selling the “wrong” margarine:

I think they’re doing it right. They’re doing what they have to do.

So when government threatens you for selling the wrong margarine, just bow down and lick their boots. Because if you don’t, government will jail or kill you because they’re “just doing their job.”

I’m glad I know this world is not the end — because freedom in this world, and especially in this country, is completely and totally gone. I hate war. I really do. But I really hope there’s a revolution in this country soon.

Leave Me Alone!

So, I’m watching the US and world economy going down the drain. I’m seeing the globalization of America, and seeing real hard times coming. So, I’d like to prepare myself and at the same time, do what the enviro-lefties want, and reduce, reuse, and recycle. Here’s my plan:

I want to obtain some land, maybe in Montana. I’d like to build a home (think log-cabin), and then farm the land to feed myself. I might also do some work as a carpenter, and perhaps trade with some other folk in the area, maybe some vegetables for meat or furniture for animals. I won’t require anything of anyone. I won’t use force to make people do anything for me or provide me with anything. I will help people when I can, but not if they don’t want my help.

Only one problem with my plan — it will not be possible, because it would break dozens, if not hundreds of laws. I’d have to pay taxes on the purchase of the land. I’d be required to pay annual taxes simply for living on the land. I may run afoul of various federal laws if I happened to plant vegetables in “federally protected” lands. I would get in trouble if I defended my life against a wolf that was intent on killing me. I would be required to pay taxes on voluntary transactions between myself and other willing people. I would be evicted from my home by force if I didn’t receive the correct government permits before building, and would jailed or killed if I attempted to live in a house that did not meet arbitrary government standards. I would have my family taken from me, should I attempt to allow my children to help me labor on the land, or if I were to allow others to employ them to learn a useful skill. If I were to go to the bathroom without getting permits and following government regulations for connections to various government systems, I would also be jailed or killed.

In other words, in this country, once the land of the free, it is now a large number of serious crimes to simply attempt to live free. Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

Government “By The People”

So, are there any of you good readers who honestly believe that the government today in America is a government “By the People and For the People?” If so, can you explain the various department of Parks and Recreations?

For example, I can go to nearly any town in America and find some kind of “Parks and Recreation” department. And, as part of that department, I can find facilities that range from parks to ball fields to swimming pools. And in nearly all of those places, I can find signs and notifications that I must pay to use these facilities — and if I do not, I can be jailed or killed.

As an aside — please note that any and all government laws, regulations, and ordinances are backed with the threat of jailing or death. Yes, from the parking ticket to violent crimes, if any government order is disobeyed, you may be killed for it. For example, if I post a sign in my yard that is against a city ordinance, I may be killed (it has happened). If I trespass on a parks and recreation field and the police are called, I may be shot and killed. So feel free to argue this point, but you will be wrong — ALL government directives are backed with the threat of death, whether you want to admit it or not. If you don’t believe me, feel free to disobey a policeman when he orders you to do, well, anything.

But wait — that facility of the department of parks and recreation was built with my money — since I am one of the minority who actually pay income, property, sales, and every other tax imaginable. So I paid for the facility, yet I cannot use it. Therefore, I must not own it. If that’s the case, then who DOES own it? The obvious answer is that the parks and recreation department owns it. That means that this is not a government “By the People,” because there’s some other layer in there separate from “The People.”

I know, many will claim things like, “Oh, but the fees go to pay for the operation of the facility,” or “The fees don’t even cover paying the salaries of the people working there.” But that’s my point. There exists today a level of government that is not part of “The People.”

Am I suggesting that there should be no “Parks and Recreation” department? Well, if the organization is going to exist outside of “The People,” then yes, it should not exist. If some government department is going to build and operate any facility with my tax dollars, then they should do so — and then I should have complete and total access to the facility without any additional charges. They could demand proof of my residency, or evidence I pay taxes, but they should not charge me more to use it. If they cannot do that, they should not use my tax money to build something that I cannot use, and in fact, will be jailed or killed if I do use it (in violation of their orders, of course).

Of course, if we had a free society, this would not be an issue. And those who would claim that nothing would get built unless the parks & rec exists simply are living in a land of fear and denial.

Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

Congress and TV Volume

So, the “big” news out of Washington is that Congress passed a law to regulate the volume on TV commercials. I know, many of you good readers are screaming, “Yeah,” and jumping around. I know the volume has really annoyed me when it suddenly blasts out of the TV when a commercial starts. However, can anyone tell me how the heck Congress is authorized to regulate annoyances?

What a damn load of you-know-what. This is yet another of the numerous, continuing examples of how horrible and useless government truly has become. And yes, yet again, a Congressional action results in the crushing of capitalism, innovation, and the American Dream.

This new “law” has put lots of people out of work. No, I’m serious. Did you know that people have invented and created devices that will allow you to regulate your TV volume? Did you know various manufacturers have been working on solving this problem? Did you know that there were people working on solving this problem through the use of external boxes, speakers, decibel detection devices, auto-volume controls, and Blue-Ray boxes? But hey, all you people coming up with inventive solutions that would have allowed people to work and earn a living, just stop it because government says so. This is what I mean when I say that today’s government is actively destroying freedom at every turn. And they honestly don’t care because the people who voted for this honestly think it will get them votes. Sadly, it probably will.

Oh, how I yearn for freedom.
