Free kibbles

PROPERTY RIGHTS:

All rights, property, civil, and economic, are derived from the most fundamental right of self-ownership. I feel stupid for never having clearly made this case in four years. I'm going to make it in the paper this weekend then publish it here.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

Corporate alliance uses government power to shut down two more file hosting sites. That reduces the ability of people to communicate with each other. Here's another example of how government works against the advance of civilization. The copyright cops are taking us back to the dark ages.

The elites have canceled Freedom Watch. Apparently they also suspended the Colbert Report. The government hates free speech. It always has. It always will. We are entering an unprecedented age of coerced censorship in the US. The internet as we know it will not survive. Let's hope smart people will establish a shadow internet before the government shuts down the original.

Another eastern European country rejects ACTA.

TAX AND SPEND:

Here's what Obama and his Republican partners have done to our debt:

"Spending has gone up from $2.98 trillion in 2008—the year before Obama came into office—to a proposed $3.80 trillion in 2013. That is a 28-percent increase in five years, which represents a compound annual growth rate of 5.0 percent. Because the economy has stagnated during this period, spending has increased as a share of GDP."

I thank both parties for stealing this money from us.

HEALTH CARE:

Why don't people live beyond 114?

Another reason for government's war on the internet: people are learning their doctors are full of crap. This puts the doctors in a bad situation. If patients refuse some treatment, and they get sicker, the doctor might get sued for malpractice. This is probably why doctors are firing patients. I bet homeschooling parents are the ones refusing vaccinations.

God help us resist drugs on a chip. I'm sure many people will say this is a wonderful thing because it will take away the responsibility of people to take drugs. Maybe we should take away people responsibility to think too. Oh wait. Government is already doing that, and its control of chipped drugs will pretty put an end to independent thinking.

Government could force every topic I bring up here under POLICE STATE. I try to organize them otherwise, and I believe raw milk stories belong under health care.

"The FDA won its two-year fight to shut down an Amish farmer who was selling fresh raw milk to eager consumers in the Washington, D.C., region after a judge this month banned Daniel Allgyer from selling his milk across state lines and he told his customers he would shut down his farm altogether."

So the government treated this Amish farmer like a terrorist, and we're all supposed to believe it protected us from him. What a crock. In fact, our government oppressed this American, and we're all poorer because of it. I don't know how to make this clear to people. I write essays with a strategy to provoke in hope I will penetrate people's barrier of bias.  I'm happy if I reach the minds of one or two people a week. But in the mean time, government is destroying businesses and families by the thousands. I can't keep up with its monstrous attacks. It's too big, too monstrous itself. All I can hope for is convince one person or save one person. If I succeed, I'm happy, and the people become stronger.

WAR ON DRUGS:

Centrally planned allocation of resources for drugs by the DEA fails like all central plans.

POLICE STATE:

Indian government requires cell phone companies to track all cell phone users in real time. If the US government did that, I stop carrying a cell phone regularly. This is another example of how government works against the advance of civilization.

It sounds like one US government agent shot two others.

WAR:

The geographic distribution of terrorists points to US government aggression as their motive.

POLITICS:

Voter outrage in Maine grows. The Republican establishment is damaging itself with the rampant fraud. The Texas Republican establishment is changing the rules to prevent Ron Paul from getting delegates. The Maine establishment caves, sort of. They claim they will recount all the caucus votes, but they same crooks who counted them the first time will be counting them the second too. The Paul campaign doesn't want a recount. Paul would probably be better off leaving this in controversy. That's probably why the establishment chose to recount.

I fear the conservative strategy of "anybody but Obama" is going to backfire with catastrophic consequences. If conservatives continue on that path and nominate another typical big-government Republican, that Republican will lose and the Republican party will cease to exist. It's hard to imagine that anybody could lose to the worst president in my lifetime, but that's exactly what conservatives are about to make happen. There are probably only half a dozen Americans who could lose to Obama in November. Government-lovers Romney, Santorum and Gingrich are at the top of that list. Conservatives sold their souls to the big-government devil generations ago, and for all their lip-service to the contrary, they refuse to take them back. And they're helping Obama and progressives destroy our country.

 In relation to what I posted above, Republicans can't defeat Obama if the economy seems to be recovering, and Ben Bernanke will cut his own mother's throat to make it appear it's recovering. Republicans have nothing to stand on. Obama has principles that his party has championed forever. He can express a positive agenda, no matter how much of a lie it is. His principles are the progressive income tax, health care is a right, government spending creates jobs, etc. The problem for Republicans is they support the same policies while pretending they have different principles. In fact, they can't point to any substantial difference between themselves and Democrats or Obama. They've supported the exact same principles and policies, with minor tweaks, forever. The Republicans have no principles. They have no principled basis for engaging people. And unless the economy enters a double-dip, the big-government Republican they nominate is likely to lose.

How should I explain the symbiotic relationship between conservative and progressives?
Suppose it's 1910. Americans suffer under very little government. Over the last couple of centuries, Americans working with the tiniest burden of government in the history of the world have created the most productive and moral country in the world. But that's all about to change. Republicans since the War of Northern Aggression have been pushing centrally planned, punitive taxes on the South. After a period of years of political struggle, progressives, starting with Teddy Roosevelt then Woodrow Wilson, dominated both parties.

Since then, there's been no difference of substance between the parties. Conservatives tepidly resisted the income and the Fed. A couple of years later, they supported both criminal institutions. This isn't surprising except to fools. From its inception, the conservative movement was designed to support the status quo. In other words, whatever outrage the progressives implemented, conservatives embraces as the status quo. So the claims that conservatives today resist the tyranny they helped create are laughable. Look at the history. Marxi's income tax, his central control of money, his central control of farms, his central control of schools, all originally resisted by conservatives have within a couple of years embraces by the champions of the status quo.

Often libertarians look to conservatives as allies based on their rhetoric. This is a farce. For a century at least, conservatives have been the allies of progressives, slavishly following behind by a year or two in their march towards totalitarianism while pretending they support they libertarian principles they betray year after year.

MEDIA:

Some people are surprised that Obama is intimately in control of Media Matters along with Soros. I'm not. I'm surprised that Republicans haven't tied him to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, Saul Alinsky or all the other radical leftist organizations he's part of. This is like complaining that Castro liked cigars while ignoring he killed thousands of people. Get your priorities straight. Obama is a Marxist. His entire history tells us this. This is the front we need to attack him on. Who gives a crap about the window dressing? But of course, Republicans are Marxist too. That the dirty little secret we're not allowed to speak of.

MISC:

Years ago the government promised to restrict telemarketers. How's that working out for you? I bet you get several calls a day from anonymous numbers just like me. (I'm no the pretend no-call list just like you.) Rest assured the FCC is coming to your rescue. If you trust the FCC to stop that spam, please send me a nickel for every call you receive so I can use that money to point out how naive you were to trust the government.

In a capitalist society, miniaturization often means less cost to do more work. That in turns means more money for workers and more profit for capitalists. Everybody wins. Isn't that goal?
