STATES RIGHTS:

A sensible as this sounds, the Feds won't like it.

"Sedgwick, Maine, has passed an ordinance in effect nullifying the activities of various regulatory agencies by allowing producers and consumers to waive liability and thereby enter directly into agreements with each other regarding raw milk, etc. “Patrons purchasing food for home consumption may enter into private agreements with those producers or processors of local foods to waive any liability for the consumption of that food. Producers or processors of local foods shall be exempt from licensure and inspection requirements for that food as long as those agreements are in effect.”"

The Feds are going to kick in somebody's door and stick a gun in his face for peacefully trading with his neighbors.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Fed investigating leading global warming fraud Michael Mann.

"Sources confirm that a federal inspector has questioned Eugene Wahl and Wahl has confirmed that Mann asked him to delete emails. Wahl has also informed the inspector that he did delete emails as the result of this request."

Since Mann is funded by tax dollars, this like a civil war. One branch of government investigating another.

WAR ON DRUGS:

New animated flick "Rango" has prohibitionists' panties in a wad because of all the smoking. I hope they're at least as uncomfortable as they make smokers. That reminds me that since today is a beautiful day, and it's Mardi Gras, I'm going to have a cigar.

POLICE STATE:

Two federal marshals and police kill man, but the headline is about the marshal who was wounded. The government won't say why it was after the man. They won't say why they didn't wait the man out during the standoff. The killers claim the man they were after shot first, but they always claim that even though they often initiate the violence. It sounds to me like they're getting their lies synced up before they say anything.

WAR:

Hypocrisy on the run-up to war with Libya.

"A US-British-French-Canadian invasion of Libya would be sugarcoated as a humanitarian mission to rescue Libyan civilians from supposedly murderous air strikes by Gadaffi’s comically inept air force, which has trouble just getting airborne.
But hardly any mention is made in the US of the 65 Afghan civilians recently killed by a US air strike, or the nine Afghan boys collecting wood on a hillside massacred by US helicopter gunships last weekNor about repeated US air strikes on Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen that have killed large numbers of civilians. When we do it, it’s "collateral damage" and "stuff happens.""

No kidding.

"Meanwhile, US, British, French, and perhaps Canadian special forces are likely operating in eastern Libya, training, arming and even fighting alongside anti-Gadaffi irregular forces and jamming Tripoli’s communications."

Given we learned about British commando captured in Libya, this is certain. Our government is already waging war in Libya without a declaration.

"The oldest trick in the imperial playbook is to foment an uprising, then call for outside help.This writer has reported for weeks that Britain’s elite Special Air Service (SAS) has been rallying anti-Gadaffi forces in and around Benghazi, seizing desert oil installations, and helping attack pro-Gadaffi forces. Britain has stoutly denied this.Then, oh dear! To London’s monumental embarrassment, eight SAS and intelligence officers from MI6 Secret Intelligence Service were arrested in Libya. They have since departed aboard a British warship. But this contingent was only one of many active in Libya and made liars of the British government. Sticky wicket, what!"

As noted.

"In 1998, Britain’s MI6 mounted an unsuccessful attempt in Benghazi to murder Gadaffi with a car bomb because of his support for the IRA. Many civilians died. Now, the Brits have gone into high gear, apparently trying to reassert London’s influence over its former oil-rich former colony."

Wait a minute. Isn't that terrorism? No wonder Gaddafi is fighting. He doesn't see this as a civil war. He sees it as western powers trying to oust him.

MISC:

Ten arguments that were used to justify slavery are no more valid than the reasons oppressors use to oppress others today.

Six hundred Englishmen and women arrested a judge for treason.

"600 English men and women arrested a corrupt judge, who was about to sentence a man for not forking over vast loot to the regime. The government police rescued the government judge, but this event strikes me as hugely significant. The organizers of this protest, the British Constitution Group, are calling for a “‘awful rebellion,” adding, “We, the British People have a right to govern ourselves. That right has been subjugated as a consequence of acts of treason having been committed by the collective political establishment, aided and abetted by corrupt segments of the judiciary, the police, the Church and the civil service.”"

Sound like revolution is in the air in England.
