Free kibbles

FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

The head of the RIAA signals the plutocrats will push SOPA once again, and he expects it to pass because government will have subdued the rebel internet companies that objected. He generously gives Google and others a way to publicly save face: claim they were misinformed. The fix is in. The government has strong-armed the internet giants that resisted, and they're going to pass this bill no matter how much the American people don't want it. If any big company resists again, government will destroy it.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Report that Lord Geithner, when he was the head of the New York Fed, told AIG to falsify forms to hide the fact that bailout money was being used to pay Goldman-Sachs 100 cents on the dollar for toxic mortgage securities.

EDUCATION:

If the Ohio shooting suspect is an average 17 year old, then government schools are turning average 17 year olds into murderers, but despite the headline, this article makes it clear he was anything but typical.

"The household was tense, police later noted, because T.J. had refused to go to a volunteer service job required by his school."

Who the hell are these people that they think they can require students to go to volunteer service jobs? They are coercing students into working for free. We have a term for that: slavery. In a poem he explains how badly government has isolated him and how it has affected him.

"But images from the page, captured and re-posted by The Huffington Post, also show another side of Lane. In one poem, posted in December, he takes on the voice of death, writing, "His only company to confide in was the vermin in the street; He longed for only one thing, the world to bow at his feet. … Feel death, not just mocking you. Not just stalking you but inside of you. Wriggle and writhe. Feel smaller beneath my might. Seizure in the pestilence that is my scythe. Die, all of you.""

This twisted experiment in social engineering is ruining families and lives and killing people. He was charged as a juvenile.

Here's a highly visible example of how central planning screws over parents of school children. All central planning is bad, but the consequences are often invisible.

Georgetown law students wants us to subsidize her sex life. Insert dirty joke here. Whatever happened to living within your means? If you can't afford to fly all around the world on vacations, don't do it. If you can't afford birth control, don't sleep around. Of course, if you can't afford $9 a month for birth control pills, how can you afford Georgetown law school? Democrats probably think this worked in their favor because the mainstream media is on their side, but I think they made themselves look stupid. But it probably worked for Nancy Pelosi. Now liberals claim testifying before Congress is a right. Can you imagine if 300 million Americans descended on Congress to claim that right at the same time? How do you debate people who don't understand the fundamental laws of physics?

Even New York Times readers know home-schooled children outperform government schooled children.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Libertarians join with environmentalists in opposition to the Keystone Pipeline because government is stealing property through imminent domain and giving it to the pipeline's owner.

I know people think that rising gas prices might sink Obama in November. Not a chance. He'll release oil from the strategic reserve to drive them down before he lets high gas prices defeat him.

WAR ON DRUGS:

The people who profit from drugs - cops, prosecutors and judges - tell us that drugs keep people from performing well. Now we know that Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson, who's pretty good and had the play of the season when he did a front flip over a defender and stuck the landing to score a touchdown, was busted for having several pounds of pot in his house. Let's stop the lied and legalize drugs so we can end the carnage in this war on the American people.

POLICE STATE:

Police unable to find eight stolen school buses.

Not satisfied with torturing people by electrocution, now cops can torture people with a burning sensation.

"The pain stops when you move out of the beam's path, which people do instinctively."

This deserves a new poll.

WAR:

Some analysts believe that Israeli agents have already seriously crippled Iran's nuclear program so there is no need to attack.

"“Israeli commandos in collaboration with Kurd forces destroyed few underground facilities mainly used for the Iranian defense and nuclear research projects,” another official wrote on November 13, 2011. “Even if the Israelis have the capabilities and are ready to attack by air, sea and land, there is no need to attack the nuclear program at this point after the commandos destroyed a significant part of it.”"

So why all the warmongering:

"“The current ‘let’s bomb Iran’ campaign was ordered by the EU leaders to divert the public attention from their at home financial problems. It plays also well for the US since Pakistan, Russia and N. Korea are mentioned in the report. ”"

But there is a real reason:

"Iran’s fledgling and largely clumsy nuclear program takes a backseat to the real target the globalists want to take out – the political leadership in Iran and the country’s modern civilian infrastructure.
In November, we reported on comments made by U.S. intelligence officials who said Israel’s target list includes Iran’s electric grid, internet, cellphone network, and emergency frequencies for firemen and police officers.
The existence of a program designed to cripple crucial civilian infrastructure not related to Iran’s nuclear program reveals that the Israeli-U.S. plan is to reduce the country to a Stone Age condition much the same way Iraq was leveled in 2003."

It seems like western rulers are reducing the entire Middle East to the stone age one country at a time.

Tucker Carlson says that Iranians deserve to be annihilated because they're lunatics and evil.

A cold war in cyber warfare. 

FOREIGN POLICY:

I told somebody the other day that instead of threatening war with Iran, we should be opening McDonalds and KFCs and selling them Pepsi. Today the media is attacking KFC for opening a restaurant in Iran. Go KFC!

POLITICS:

I think this Super-PAC thing is fantastic for politics. The politicians no longer monopolize the campaigns. Outside influences now have a voice. Let the billionaires slug it out between themselves. I think this is great. It also means that any billionaire white knight can bankroll a candidate.

Santorum wants to use the presidential bully pulpit to lecture people about sex. This is a losing proposition. Everybody likes sex.

MEDIA:

Andrew Breitbart died.

MISC:

What's going on at Cato? The Koch brothers, who founded Cato, are suing Cato.  The note at the bottom about whether Cato is libertarian or conservative might signal the real division.

Iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln was in fact a copy of a portrait of John C. Calhoun with Lincoln's head stitched on top.

This is not true.

 If the government had a gun pointed at the people's head, then it would be true.
