To the rescue!

“The Obama administration is talking about ramping up screening of travelers who come from Ebola-infected countries. Many Americans are concerned that the virus may spread now that a patient has been diagnosed in Dallas. NBC News has learned that likely will mean adding CDC staffers at four airports: JFK in New York, Newark in New Jersey, Chicago and Washington Dulles. They’ll question travelers about where they have been and take their temperatures. A fever can be one of the first symptoms of Ebola infection, although it’s also a symptom of malaria, influenza and many other infections.

The administration says it does not support blocking flights from West Africa, in part because affected countries screen travelers on the way out. Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says 77 people have been pulled out of lines to board flights from affected countries thanks to screening. The World Health Organization says blocking flights would only worsen the problem by making countries poorer and by discouraging aid workers from coming to help. But it’s possible to add screening at U.S. airports. “We’re also going to be working on protocols to do additional, faster screening both at the source and here in the United States,” President Barack Obama said Monday.”

A tepid half measure in response to a crisis has become a hallmark of this administration. Did we really expect anything else? You didn’t actually think that he would stop the people from arriving in the first place did you?

It is a dangerous and strictly reactionary plan that still allows them to fly here, with other passengers no less. Once here and ill, what then? Quarantine and treatment? That won’t open up the floodgates like his southern border policy did.

Forgive me for seeming a little less than humanitarian about this but this an outbreak of unprecedented scope. They have long admitted that their infection projections won’t hold because they were being based on isolated outbreaks in remote jungle villages.

As Hank Hill one said “I’m trying to stop an outbreak and you’re driving the monkey to the airport”

One parting thought; If this does go viral, how about a nice march on DC?  Nod, wink, cough…

CDC : Stopping flights from West Africa increases the risk of contracting Ebola

“Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Friday said restricting travel between the U.S. and West Africa would likely “backfire” and put Americans more at risk of contracting Ebola.”

That is unstoppable logic right there. What more can I say?

Liberia: Ebola kills 8 soldiers, barracks deserted

“Don’t worry it isn’t easy to spread. Trust me, I am from the Govt. and here to help.”
If Americans start dying we need to rain fire, death and hell on those responsible. Have as much mercy as the virus itself.

“At least eight soldiers, among them two commissioned officers and two medical staff, have reportedly lost their lives to the deadly Ebola virus disease (EVD), the Daily Observer has reliably learnt.

Those victimized by the EVD have been identified as, Private (PVT) Calvin Sackie, Corporals (Cpls) Florson Louise, Fanbiman Samuel, and Private First Class (Pfc) Anthony Sheriff.

Others are Sergeant (Sgt) Kromah, who was assigned as the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) medic and another medic from the Ministry of National Defense (MOD) identified as Annitta Sackie.

The two commissioned officers victimized by the EVD were up to press time not named.

The deceased, according to our source, contracted Ebola recently at the Edward Binyan Kesseley (EBK) Barracks when a lady unsuspected of carrying the disease, visited one of the victims, Cpl Floson Louise.

The ‘concubine’ who visited the late soldier has also been victimized by the disease. She is yet to be identified.

“When she slept at the EBK, it was thereafter the soldiers contracted the disease, and could not survive despite “intensive treatment” at the various Ebola Treatment Units in Monrovia,” our source disclosed.

This latest setback among the rank and file of the already sparse number of soldiers has reportedly created panic among them, to the extent that some of them have begun to desert the various barracks across the country.

Based on this information, the Daily Observer yesterday contacted Defense Assistant Minister for Public Affairs, David K. Dahn, who neither confirmed nor denied the report.

He, however, told this newspaper via mobile phone, “The whole West Africa is being threatened by Ebola, of which the AFL is no exception, because they are among other Liberians being afflicted by the EVD.”

He disclosed that the military is carrying out some measures at its barracks to decongest the soldiers. “This is why the barracks have become so quiet since the Ebola outbreak in the country.”

The latest deaths of the soldiers sadly add to several Para-military and other security personnel, including officers of the Liberian National Police (LNP), that have died. Others, including close family members, had been quarantined and subsequently released, having completed their 21 days isolation.

The face of Ebola

This is Ebola. Ebola is not the squiggly little colored line that you see.Ebola is dead and dying children.
It is orphans and weeping families.

Do you have children or grandchildren?

Just remember that if this begins to spread how it got here.Just remember if one of your loved ones is dying where this plague came from.Just remember that it will have been murder.

SHTF

Has anybody noticed that there are people noticeably missing this morning? I have and they are assuming SHTF. It comes with a whimper instead of a bang. It is time to step the game up a notch. We will know for sure in the next few weeks.Decision time draws nigh…

Ebola patient walked around for 8 days before hospitalization

Yep, if they are not lying it was 8 days that this guy walked around before he was hospitalized. Anyone smell a set up here? Anyone wonder why they are still letting flights in from Liberia when it is the epicenter of an outbreak of the worst kind of Sci-Fi disease imaginable?

Just remember this; You kill me, I kill you right back.
Did I forget to say what a foul and murderous mood that this put me in? Yeah , I guess I did.
There is just something about endangering the life of potentially millions of innocents that has that effect on me.

I am not the kind of man who sits on his hands while Pol Pot does his dirty business.

“The facts are straightforward, at least in the version that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laid out: A man of uncertain age flew from Liberia, where the disease remains uncontrolled, to Dallas to visit family. When checked for illness on departure, he had no fever. Upon landing in Texas on September 20, he was fine. Within four days, though, he began to feel ill—sufficiently so that he sought medical attention on September 26. That evaluation apparently failed to provide clues to the diagnosis, but two days later his symptoms had progressed enough that he again sought medical attention and this time was hospitalized, placed immediately into isolation, and diagnosed on September 30.

The timeline as presented raises countless questions. First: Was he contagious when boarding the plane and are his plane-mates therefore at risk? Surely not—the most compelling epidemiological fact in the entire tragic seven month outbreak has been the story of Patrick Sawyer, the Minnesotan who after traveling from Liberia to Nigeria, developed symptoms of overwhelming Ebola and died soon thereafter. Although few details have been revealed, none of those who traveled with Sawyer developed the disease despite the fact that he, unlike the Dallas case, was ill with the infection while traveling. And it is axiomatic (and hopefully true) that a person is contagious only when they are sick, not when they are brewing the infection.”

Excerpts From Gov. Mike Pence’s speech on the presidency

Let me say this; I would ride to war with this guy right here and right now. I believe that Pence is one of the few statesman left in the nation.I met him personally one time in D.C. and he was really fired up about what was going on. If he decides to run, he has my vote, if he decides to be George Washington, he’s got my gun.

“The presidency is the most visible thread that runs through the tapestry of the American government. More often than not, for good or for ill, it sets the tone for the other branches and spurs the expectations of the people. Its powers are vast and consequential, its requirements — from the outset and by definition — impossible for mortals to fulfill without humility and insistent attention to its purpose as set forth in the Constitution of the United States.

Isn’t it amazing, given the great and momentous nature of the office, that those who seek it seldom pause to consider what they are seeking? Rather, unconstrained by principle or reflection, there is a mad rush toward something that, once its powers are seized, the new president can wield as an instrument with which to transform the nation and the people according to his highest aspirations

But, other than in a crisis of the house divided, the presidency is neither fit nor intended to be such an instrument. When it is made that, the country sustains a wound, and cries out justly and indignantly. And what the nation says — the theme of this address… What it says, informed by its long history, impelled by the laws of nature and nature’s God… What it says quite naturally and rightly, if not always gracefully, is that we as a people are not to be ruled and not to be commanded. It says that the president should never forget this; that he has not risen above us, but is merely one of us, chosen by ballot, dismissed after his term, tasked not to transform and work his will upon us, but to bear the weight of decision and to carry out faithfully the design laid down in the Constitution and impassioned by the Declaration of Independence.

***

The presidency must adhere to its definition as expressed in the Constitution, and to conduct defined over time and by tradition. While the powers of the office have enlarged, along with those of the legislature and the judiciary, the framework of the government was intended to restrict abuses common to classical empires and to the regal states of the 18th century.

Without proper adherence to the role contemplated in the Constitution for the presidency, the checks and balances in the constitutional plan become weakened. This has been most obvious in recent years when the three branches of government have been subject to the tutelage of a single party. Under either party, presidents have often forgotten that they are intended to restrain the Congress at times, and that the Congress is independent of their desires. And thus fused in unholy unity, the political class has raged forward in a drunken expansion of powers and prerogatives, mistakenly assuming that to exercise power is by default to do good.

Even the simplest among us knows that this is not so. Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh. Therefore, those who are entrusted with it must educate themselves in self-restraint. A republic — if you can keep it — is about limitation, and for good reason, because we are mortal and our actions are imperfect.

The tragedy of presidential decision is that even with the best choice, some, perhaps many, will be left behind, and some, perhaps many, may die. Because of this, a true statesman lives continuously with what Churchill called “stress of soul.” He may give to Paul, but only because he robs Peter. And that is why you must always be wary of a president who seems to float upon his own greatness. For all greatness is tempered by mortality, every soul is equal, and distinctions among men cannot be owned; they are on loan from God, who takes them back and evens accounts at the end.”

It is a tragedy indeed that new generations taking office attribute failures in governance to insufficient power, and seek more of it. In the judiciary this has seldom been better expressed than by Justice Thurgood Marshall’s dictum that, “You do what you think is right and let the law catch up.” In the Congress, it presents itself in massive legislation, acts and codes thousands of pages long and so monstrously over-complicated that no human being can read through them in a lifetime — much less understand them, much less apply them justly to a people that increasingly feel like they are no longer being asked, they are being told. Our nation finds itself in the position of a dog whose duty it is not to ask why, because the “why” is too elevated for his nature, but simply to obey.

America is not a dog, and does not require a “because-I-said-so” jurisprudence to which it is then commanded to catch up, or legislators who knit laws of such insulting complexity that they are heavier than chains; or a president who acts like, speaks like, and is received as a king. The presidency has run off the rails. It begs a new clarity, a new discipline, and a new president.

The president is not our teacher, our tutor, our guide or ruler. He does not command us, we command him. We serve neither him nor his vision. It is not his job or his prerogative to redefine custom, law and beliefs; to appropriate industries; to seize the country, as it were, by the shoulders or by the throat so as to impose by force of theatrical charisma his justice upon 300 million others. It is neither his job nor his prerogative to shift the power of decision away from them, and to him and the acolytes of his choosing.”

1/4 of Americans want to secede

This tells you how truly screwed up our country is. There are a lot of people that are awakening to the fact that they have no representation and that our political process has failed.

So where is this all going? Do you think it will be magically cured with the next election or the next or the next? It won’t. We will only become more polarized until both sides are diametrically opposed.

Then we will no longer be brothers or countrymen, but instead enemies. We are coming nearer to the tipping point and the closer we come, the uglier it will get.

Yes we are trying still, using all means necessary, to save what we have, but it is failing and we all know it. JFK once said in a speech “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” and he spoke words of truth.

Once enough people realize that they have been removed from the political process the secession movement will grow. But the Fed has already shown in the past  that they will not make peaceful revolution possible.

As Chairman Mao the favorite philosopher of the leftists said ” A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery. It cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” And he too speaks words of truth.

Happy Friday everybody……..

“(Reuters) – The failed Scottish vote to pull out from the United Kingdom stirred secessionist hopes for some in the United States, where almost a quarter of people are open to their states leaving the union, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

Some 23.9 percent of Americans polled from Aug. 23 through Sept. 16 said they strongly supported or tended to support the idea of their state breaking away, while 53.3 percent of the 8,952 respondents strongly opposed or tended to oppose the notion.”

Why does Obama call I.S. ISIL? Hmmm….

I know that the following is just rank speculation on my part, but I think I know why he is always referring to “ISIL”.

Yes, this is evil and insidious if true. Could it be that he is trying to garner support for the caliphate by constantly reminding muslims that this is not about war in Iraq and Syria, but rather a traditional homeland that sits right in the middle of the original Islamic empire?

“Compared with ISIS, the group’s old name, and ISIL, that alternate acronym, the newest identifier — “the Islamic State” — is a key piece of propaganda for the group, especially when it comes to targeting potential terrorist recruits.

“That’s a very potent area of propaganda, because ISIS has attracted potentially thousands of foreign fighters, and none of these foreign fighters see themselves as terrorists. They see themselves as knights. They see themselves as mujahedeen. They see themselves as freedom fighters,” Blank says. “So they’re very interested in fighting for the Islamic State, and they do not regard what they are doing as in any way an act of terrorism.”  NPR

Well he couldn’t just call it the Islamic state without being called on it could he? Why would he constantly use the term that encompasses the largest geographical  area possible instead of ISIS?

I decided  many months ago that his heart lay with the Sunni’s by the sides we took in the Arab spring and the middle east in General.

Here is a list do some math:

Syria- Assad is Alawite, rebels are Sunni

Libya-Gaddafi- Former Sunni converted to Quranism, rebels are Sunni

Egypt – Mubarak- Sunni, but he committed the ultimate crime by being an ally to Israel, rebels (Muslim brotherhood) Sunni

Jordan – Abdullah II- Sunni, rebels, there are none. We help Jordan suppress political unrest

“State Department spokesman Mark Toner says the Obama administration believes King Abdullah II is on the “right track” despite the protests, “”We call on protestors to do so peacefully. We support King Abdullah II’s roadmap for reform and the aspirations of the Jordanian people to foster a more inclusive political process that will promote security, stability as well as economic development.”

So now we have started airstrikes against ISIL in a war that all of our Generals are saying we can’t win with airstrikes.

Alright , I’m done, airstrike!

Update with a reader comment. I forgot to include the fact that Israel and Palestine are part of the Levant:

From Stackz o Magz

“He does it as an insult to Israel. When he says ISIL, he is sending a message to Muslims all over the Middle East that he personally does not recognize Israel as a sovereign nation, but as territory belonging to the Islamic State.”

Obama renews call for gun control

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/217836-obama-renews-call-for-gun-control-on-anniversary-of-navy-yard
“President Obama called on Americans to renew the push for gun-control legislation in a statement Tuesday marking the one-year anniversary of the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard.

“One year ago, 12 Americans went to work to protect and strengthen the country they loved,” Obama said. “Today, we must do the same — rejecting atrocities like these as the new normal and renewing our call for common-sense reforms that respect our traditions while reducing the gun violence that shatters too many American families every day.”

The 2013 shooting at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command left 12 individuals and the lone shooter, a civilian contractor, dead. Eight others were injured in the attack, the second deadliest mass murder on a U.S. military facility.”

Please Mr. President, please…..Just use your pen and phone.

Record 92,269,000 Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Matches 36-Year Low

CNSNews.com) – “A record 92,269,000 Americans 16 and older did not participate in the labor force in August, as the labor force participation rate matched a 36-year low of 62.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The labor force participation rate has been as low as 62.8 percent in six of the last twelve months, but prior to last October had not fallen that low since 1978.”
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/ali-meyer/record-92269000-not-labor-force-participation-rate-matches-36-year-low
Well, Chairman Zero may not be the worst president ever, but he is at the very least, in a tie for bottom place. The last time that things were this crappy (1978) was under the reign of none other than Jimmy Carter.
Yes ,that’s right, it hasn’t been this bad since the peanut farmer turned president was in charge. See what happens when you bring no qualifications to the job?
At least with his experience as a community organizer that whole organizing the middle east thing should go smoothly.

China, Russia dropping the dollar for oil trading

FROM: ZERO HEDGE , TYLER DURDEN
Original here:http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-27/gazprom-begins-accepting-payment-oil-ruble-yuan

Move along, there is nothing to see here, Russia is not important because they don’t make things.
Remember? That is what Chairman Zero said. Are you ready for the ride? Because it looks like it is going to be sooner rather than later. Live fire exercises starting soon.

Several months ago, when Russia announced the much anticipated “Holy Grail” energy deal with China, some were disappointed that despite this symbolic agreement meant to break the petrodollar’s stranglehold on the rest of the world, neither Russia nor China announced payment terms to be in anything but dollars. In doing so they admitted that while both nations are eager to move away from a US Dollar reserve currency, neither is yet able to provide an alternative.

This changed in late June when first Gazprom’s CFO announced the gas giant was ready to settle China contracts in Yuan or Rubles, and at the same time the People’s Bank of China announced that its Assistant Governor Jin Qi and Russian central bank Deputy Chairman Dmitry Skobelkin held a meeting in which they discussed cooperating on project and trade financing using local currencies. The meeting discussed cooperation in bank card, insurance and financial supervision sectors.

And yet, while both sides declared their operational readiness and eagerness to bypass the dollar entirely, such plans remained purely in the arena of monetary foreplay and the long awaited first shot across the Petrodollar bow was absent.

Until now.

According to Russia’s RIA Novosti, citing business daily Kommersant, Gazprom Neft has agreed to export 80,000 tons of oil from Novoportovskoye field in the Arctic; it will accept payment in rubles, and will also deliver oil via the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline (ESPO), accepting payment in Chinese yuan for the transfers. Meaning Russia will export energy to either Europe or China, and receive payment in either Rubles or Yuan, in effect making the two currencies equivalent as far as the Eurasian axis is conerned, but most importantly, transact completely away from the US dollar thus, finally putin'(sic) in action the move for a Petrodollar-free world.

More on this long awaited first nail in the petrodollar coffin from RIA:

The Russian government and several of the country’s largest exporters have widely discussed the possibility of accepting payments in rubles for oil exports. Last week, Russia began to ship oil from the Novoportovskoye field to Europe by sea. Two oil tankers are expected to arrive in Europe in September.

According to Kommersant, the payment for these shipments will be received in rubles.

Gazprom Neft will not only accept payments in rubles; subsequent transfers via the ESPO may be paid for in yuan, the newspaper reported.

According to the newspaper, the change in currency was made because of the Western sanctions against Russia.

As a protective measure, Russia decided to avoid making its payments in US dollars, which can be tracked and controlled by the United States government, Kommersant reported.

“Protective measure” meaning that it was the US which managed to Plaxico itself by pushing Russia to transact away from the US Dollar, in the process showing the world it can be done, and slamming the first nail in the petrodollar’s coffin.

This is not surprising to anyone who has been following our forecast of the next steps in the transition from the Petrodollar to the Gas-O-Yuan. Recall from April:

The New New Normal flow of funds:

Gazprom delivering gas to China.
China Gazprom paying in Yuan (convertible into Rubles)
Gazprom funding itself increasingly in Yuan.
Russia buying Chinese goods and services in Yuan (convertible into Rubles)

And all of this with the US banker cartel completely disintermediated courtesy of the glaring absence of the USD in any of the above listed steps, or as some may call it: from the Petrodollar to the Gas-o-yuan (something 40 central banks have already figured out… just not the Fed).

Still confused? Then read “90% Of Gazprom Clients Have “De-Dollarized”, Will Transact In Euro & Renminbi” for just how Gazprom set the stage for the day it finally would push the button to skip the dollar entirely. Which it just did.

In conclusion we will merely say what we have said previously, and it touches on what will be the most remarkable aspect of Obama’s legacy, because while the hypocrite “progressive” president who even his own people have accused of being a “brown-faced Clinton” after selling out to Wall Street and totally wrecking US foreign policy abroad, is already the worst president in a century of US history according to public polls, the fitting epitaph will come when the president’s policies put an end to dollar hegemony and end the reserve currency status of the dollar once and for all, thereby starting the rapid, and uncontrolled, collapse of the US empire. To wit:

In retrospect it will be very fitting that the crowning legacy of Obama’s disastrous reign, both domestically and certainly internationally, will be to force the world’s key ascendent superpowers (we certainly don’t envision broke, insolvent Europe among them) to drop the Petrodollar and end the reserve status of the US currency.

As of this moment, both Russia and China have shown not on that it can be done, but it is done. Expect everyone to jump onboard the new superpower axis bandwagon soon enough.

The root of our troubles lurks in many mirrors

This is a comment from WRSA. It was in response to someone who seemed a little over eager to shoot those who loot. I think it can stand on it’s own as my morning post without any addition. I hope that Smitty who made the comment and CA don’t mind me lifting it. If so, I will gladly remove it.

That “youth” is maybe all of ten years old…

What the fuck is wrong with you, *******? Are ya really pumped up and ready to blast a little boy?

This monkey-fuck sort of thinking is self-defeating in a divide and conquer sort of way.

(by way of explanation, a monkey-fuck is an individual whose thinking and/or behavior indicates that man may have indeed evolved from apes…but not very far evolved…)

I’m really tiring of the stupid racist bullshit of assumptions that the bad behavior of the looters and bad actors is assigned to the entire black population of Ferguson (and the likes of the little kid with the sign), when in fact-if facts ever matter these days-the vast majority of Ferguson citizens just want to be left the hell alone…and happily, some brave blacks and whites are peacefully marching together against militarized police brutality.

Bigoted dingbats conveniently forget the incidents such as the rescue of truck driver Reginald Denny from black thugs by brave black residents during the LA riots…they forget that the vast majority are NOT looting and such, they mostly remain huddled in their homes hoping to be left alone.

No matter your race, religion, whatever differentiates us…we ALL (with the exception of government boot-lickers and enablers) stand to eventually be crushed by the boots of authoritarian police state tyrants, unless we recognize our common enemy-government.

Police have been targeting virtually all of us, and our dogs, for some time. But some just refuse to address that reality.

Remember, bigots, that your ignorant bigotry ensures continued success of authoritarian police state government’s historically favorite strategy-divide and conquer.

The root of our troubles lurks in many mirrors…

So this is how it’s going to be…..

” Liberian security forces sealed off an Ebola-hit slum in the capital Monrovia on Wednesday in the latest effort to stop the spread of the deadly virus, setting off protests by angry residents.

Riot police and soldiers created roadblocks out of piles of scrap wood and barbed wire to prevent anyone from entering or leaving West Point.

Four residents were injured in clashes with police and soldiers sent in to seal off the area. Violence flared up after security forces tried to evacuate a government official and his family from the quarantined neighborhood.

“These measures are meant to save lives,” said President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who ordered the restrictions, in an address Tuesday night.”

UK Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/ebola/11045977/Liberians-trapped-in-Ebola-slum-as-security-forces-seal-off-Monrovia-district.html

In Liberia they have a slum of about 50,000 people sealed off to prevent the spread of Ebola. Notice sentences 3 and 4 from above.

Sentence 3:”Four residents were injured in clashes with police and soldiers sent in to seal off the area. Violence flared up after security forces tried to evacuate a government official and his family from the quarantined neighborhood”

Of course being quarantined in with your family to die as Ebola spreads through the neighborhood just doesn’t work for anyone working for the Govt.

Sentence 4:“These measures are meant to save lives,” said President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who ordered the restrictions, in an address Tuesday night.”

Please refer to sentence 3

If any disease comes here it is going to be the same thing. They will do whatever they can to save their own skins. Only the ordinary citizens will be subject to quarantines and left to perish in their neighborhoods.
I would suggest to anyone living in a neighborhood to look for alternate routes out that don’t require traveling on the roads (i.e. through yards and between houses)and identify the choke points that can be blocked off.
Yeah, I know, I’m paranoid, but better safe than sorry.

I enjoy working with these 10 word poems because of their level of difficulty. It is hard to encapsulate a thought in so few words without it just being a statement. I think I really wrapped up how I feel in it.

Rand Paul on the militarization of law enforcement

“When you couple this militarization of law enforcement with an erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury—national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture—we begin to have a very serious problem on our hands.

Given these developments, it is almost impossible for many Americans not to feel like their government is targeting them. Given the racial disparities in our criminal justice system, it is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.

This is part of the anguish we are seeing in the tragic events outside of St. Louis, Missouri. It is what the citizens of Ferguson feel when there is an unfortunate and heartbreaking shooting like the incident with Michael Brown.

Anyone who thinks that race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice in this country is just not paying close enough attention. Our prisons are full of black and brown men and women who are serving inappropriately long and harsh sentences for non-violent mistakes in their youth.

The militarization of our law enforcement is due to an unprecedented expansion of government power in this realm. It is one thing for federal officials to work in conjunction with local authorities to reduce or solve crime. It is quite another for them to subsidize it.

Americans must never sacrifice their liberty for an illusive and dangerous, or false, security. This has been a cause I have championed for years, and one that is at a near-crisis point in our country.”

You know, I saw TL’s speech from yapfest the other day and he really seemed to have a palpable sense of frustration that he was not getting through to anyone. I understand his frustration but I think that he and the many others out there railing against the police state and federal tyranny are accomplishing more than they know.
Right now there is a bill being introduced in congress that would de- militarize the Federal alphabet soup and see agencies such as the Dept. of education lose their SWAT teams.
The constant chatter that is created does eventually make it through the pipeline and into the mainstream. Don’t forget Joe Biden and his comments during the last gun ban push when he said “Yeah , the black helicopter crowd is pretty upset” (Read that as “Hey we are about to start another civil war”)The chatter is monitored and when it gets loud enough people start to hear it, including those in high places.
So take heart in the fact that bitching long enough and loud enough about something can actually start to make a difference.

Cracks in the system

A re-post from April 01,2013 with an update

In Kaufman county Texas, Mike Mclelland and his wife Cynthia were both found shot to death in their home. This happened Saturday, two months after Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was gunned down and less than two weeks after Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements was also killed. It seems that what they are experiencing is a breakdown of the “System”. When the “System” functions as it should, criminals take their punishment, do their time and don’t go out looking for revenge. The entire prison system operates with the approval of the inmates. They get up when they are told to, eat when they are told to and sleep when they are told to. The entire thing works because inmates cooperate with their own imprisonment. If they all refused to leave their cells or to obey any order at all, the prison staff would almost have to match the inmate population. The entire endeavor would be so costly that no state could afford it. Now, cracks are in showing in the very fabric of the prison system and the judicial system. Normally an official in the “System” is not held responsible for their actions unless they break the laws of the “System” and that is judged from within. Their actions don’t have consequences because they are insulated and protected by the rest of the “System” which taken collectively is all powerful. But just like the prison system, everyone has to agree and cooperate with the orders that come down or it doesn’t work. Take Christopher Dorner and his cop hit list as an example. Because he took it upon himself to go outside the law he threw the entire System into chaos. It would have been even worse if he hadn’t named a hit list because they would have had to protect even more cops. Cops will do their job as long as they think that the other cops can protect them and people will cooperate and fear that protection. I am not judging or defaming any of the deceased, as I know nothing about them; They may have been the greatest of heroes. I am simply saying that they died as a direct result of their actions because individuals decided to work outside of the system . None of these killings were random acts; They were targeted attacks not just on individuals but also on the “System” itself. Acts like these are usually dealt with harshly and quickly as the facade of the System cannot be broken for long. You see, the system operates like a bank; It doesn’t work without faith. With banks the faith has to come from the outside,from customers who believe the bank will give them their money. With the system the faith has to come from the inside; Those within must believe the system can protect them from the harm. Now think about this for a moment; Right now millions of people are being forced out of the system. In states like new York ,Connecticut, Colorado, California and others they are criminalizing many of their citizens. Many, if not most of those citizens are taking their first small steps outside the system by flat out refusing to do as the law states. Cracks in the facade of the larger system are now starting to show. The question is though when you force someone to be a criminal outside of the system, how far will that person go? Personally, when all these laws go into full effect, I think we are going to find out. I think that there will be consequences for their actions.

Update: I am supporting a candidate for sheriff and he drops by my office from time to time. He stopped in the other day just as my office manager was finishing reading an open letter from Cliven Bundy to the Clark County sheriff.
Conversation quickly turned to the events at the Bundy ranch and he expressed his extreme displeasure at what had transpired.He was completely freaked out about what transpired because as he put it” The law cannot function that way.When you go to serve a warrant, you can’t be met by men with guns. That is not law, that is anarchy”
He saw the Jared and Amanda Miller shootings as the culmination of the of the lawlessness of the Bundy situation. As LEO looking to be sheriff he saw this as a very serious breakdown of law and order and he is quite spooked by it.
He was right of course. Cracks in the veneer of the system are starting to open up and not just on one level, but many. From states declaring weed legal to Colorado and New York sheriffs declaring that they would not enforce gun laws. The system cannot function when hundreds of thousands of people openly defy the law as they are doing in Colorado, Connecticut and New York. Of course that also does not take into account the Threepers and millions of others who have declared a hearty Molon Labe.
The system has to maintain it’s facade of power to continue to function but it has to balance that against outright rebellion,because in outright rebellion their law does not exist at all and that poses the biggest threat of all. In Connecticut, when it became apparent that back up was going to be flooding into their state if they went for enforcing their law, they had to back off. It culminated with Mr. “I’ll give my left nut to kick your door in” going into hiding for fear of reprisal.(Of course , don’t think that they are done)
These are not the only instances and if you look around carefully, you will see what I am talking about. From the states reclaiming rights to nullifying federal law to gun owners standing up to the fed, an air of defiance is beginning to permeate our culture. There is a standing sense of outrage at the brutality and militarization of the police and a disgust for those that govern us.
I don’t think that I am exaggerating when I say that our system is in the process of breaking down. The question is only when one of the cracks will open wide enough to unleash a flood.

Henny Penny died of Ebola before the sky could fall on her

There is nothing to see here just move along …. Congress came back from their leave to have a special meeting of the house foreign affairs sub-committee to discuss the impact of the Ebola threat.
Testifying before the panel was Samaritan’s Purse’s vice president of programs and government relations ,Ken Isaacs. Samaritans purse is a Christian organization that is currently assisting in the effort to stop the spread of Ebola in West Africa.
After commenting on how Matt Drudge is spurring panic he then says the below:

“Confirming the new worthiness of the current “out of control” spread of the virus in heavily populated cities in West Africa at the end of the hearing Isaacs said, “We will see death tolls and numbers we can’t imagine right now.”

Now don’t panic, as I said there is nothing to see here.
Fire..Fire…..FIRE…FIIIIIIRRRRREEEE!!!!!!
