FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

Britain extradites British student who ran a British web page that did nothing illegal to the US because the US wants to prosecute him for copyright infringement.

"American authorities attest that O’Dwyer’s TVShack website, while not in violation of any UK laws where he lived and operated it, infringed on American copyright legislation."

Our government no longer recognizes its borders. Borders are for tax slaves, not government agents.

Santorum promises to crack down on pornography if elected. We have 15 trillion in federal debt, trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see and an economy that is rapidly collapsing under the burden of government, but Santorum will focus the government on fighting pornography.

"Santorum says in a statement posted to his website, “The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of pornography and has refused to enforce obscenity laws.”"

This wasn't in response to a question. He just made it an issue all on his lonesome. With the government rapidly seizing control of the internet, why not use that power to promote his personal crusade? I'm telling you, we're the stupidest people who ever lived. No people in the history of the world ever have thrown away so much, so fast.

ECONOMY:

We don't need government programs to train workers. Government programs hinder the process by interfering with the natural pricing mechanism that informs people what they should get trained in. The market works for people. Government works for our rulers at the expense of the people.

The work week is getting longer because there are fewer employers and more unemployed. That gives employers leverage over employees. If we freed the market from government, there would be many more employers competing for fewer employees, and the employees would have leverage over the employers.

TAX AND SPEND:

The CBO reports Obama's budget would continue exploding federal debt.

"The president's budget would add $6.4 trillion in deficits between 2013 and 2022, the CBO said.

Under the so-called alternative fiscal scenario, where Congress simply extends a number of favored policies, cumulative deficits would reach nearly $11 trillion."

We're so screwed. That's why this election doesn't matter unless Ron Paul wins the Republican nomination. No other candidate will cut spending. Spending cuts will be forced on the government in the most painful, destructive way possible.

And important reminder from the author of a book about government debt.

"The book is really about how freedom creates prosperity. It’s something so axiomatic that it should be among the Truths that Americans hold to be Self-Evident: Freedom creates Prosperity.

It is a conclusion that is unavoidable in an examination of the long sweep of history. It is obvious in looking across national borders. It is even evident in satellite imagery of the earth. The stark line of light and dark that divides the Korean peninsula at night is actually the border that divides the North, plunged into darkness when the sun goes down, from the South, visible from illumination, and both more free and prosperous."

Why doesn't every American vote from that point of view? If Americans had done that from the beginning, we'd have nothing but libertarians in office throughout history, and our prosperity would be unimaginable.

REGULATIONS:

Obama sets record for regulations. Outright socialism is government ownership of the means of production. Fascism is government control of the means of production while it allows nominal ownership to appear as in a capitalist system. But for Obama, advancing fascism is just a step on the road to Marxist revolution.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Western countries will cut Iran off from the SWIFT clearing house tomorrow. Hopefully the gold standard will start a comeback then.

It doesn't get any more real than this: drug users are paying drug dealers in Tide because Tide holds its value better than Federal Reserve notes.

"Informants and undercover offices say that drug dealers actually encourage their customers to pay with Tide rather than cash. “I’m out of marijuana right now, but when I get re-upped I’ll hook you up if you can get me 15 bottles of Tide,” one dealer was quoted as telling an informant, according to police."

Tide meets the universal requirements of money - divisibility, durability, scarcity, portability and recognizability - better than Federal Reserve notes. You can't make this stuff up.

HEALTH CARE:

The CBO just keeps creaming Obama. In a report it claims that 20 million Americans could lose their health care under Obamacare. This is what Democrats want, but they don't want the American people to know it before the election.

The Supreme Court continues its policy of denying Americans access to its hearings by banning cameras from the Obamacare hearing.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

A scary public service reminder than a new ice age is due to start any time now.

Exposing Obama's lies about oil production.

POLICE STATE:

New York police state to take DNA samples of almost all criminals including those convicted only of misdemeanors.

The NSA is building the biggest new spy facility.

"The National Security Agency is building a complex to monitor and store 'all' communications in a million-square-foot facility. One of its secret roles? Code-breaking your private, personal information. Everybody's a target."

All communications. We're the stupidest people the world has ever known.

Call me lazy, but I never clicked on a single link about the Rutgers webcam case. Call me naive, but I never wondered why this was a big news story. I never read a single article. Boy was I stupid. This case wasn't about webcam surveillance. That would never make the national news. And it wasn't about the suicide of a pretty young blond girl, which always makes the national news. I'm kicking myself for not catching onto this propaganda immediately. This story was about a supposed hate crime against gays. If the guy had done the same thing to black woman, none of us would ever have heard about it. If the guy had done the same thing to a pretty, young, white, blond woman, Nancy Grace would have had it on her show every day until the sun burned out. But because it was about a gay man, the TV didn't care, but the justice department and its mainstream media propagandists promoted it as a hate crime. When FBI agents do the same thing, it's just about the laughs.

WAR:

Afghans dispute the loan gunman theory in the murder of 16 civilians and are angry at lack of US cooperation, but the accused solder is already on his way to Kansas.

"The Afghan leader stressed that he wants a good relationship with the U.S. but that it is becoming increasingly difficult. He insisted that the U.S. needs to respect Afghan culture and laws."

The government doesn't respect US culture or law. Why would anybody expect it to respect Afghan culture and laws?

Maybe this is the real reason Obama assassinated bin Laden.

"Osama bin Laden once ordered assassinations of President Obama and Gen. David Petraeus, writes a Washington Post national security columnist, citing documents taken from bin Laden's compound on the night of his own death."

He was taking no chances.

While I don't like the idea that a military organization has been ordered to take charge in any disaster in North America, I wonder why we have any military commands other than North America Command. North America is all we need to defend. Let's get rid of the Europe, Asia, Africa and any other commands and focus the North America Command on repelling invasion and defending against air, sea or missile attack.

Not too long ago I reported about a guy who made a propaganda video in support of sending US troops into civil wars in central Africa. That guy was arrested in San Diego.
"A co-founder of the group behind a viral video about a brutal African warlord was detained by police and hospitalized after witnesses saw him running through streets in his underwear, screaming and banging his fists on the pavement.

Jason Russell of Invisible Children was hospitalized for exhaustion less than two weeks after the release of the 30-minute video he narrated about warlord Joseph Kony, said Ben Keesey, the group's chief executive officer.

"Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration and malnutrition," Keesey said. "He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better. The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday.""

That's an incredibly sympathetic article from ABC.

"Police Lt. Andra Brown said a 33-year-old man was detained and taken to a hospital for medical evaluation. He was never arrested, and no charges are planned."

No charges are planned. I'm sure everybody would be treated so nicely by the government and the press, aren't you? What ABC didn't report is that the man was busted for masturbating in public. Do you think the government and its media propagandists would be so forgiving to a buddy of yours who was so messed up that he did the same? This guy is receiving favorable government and press treatment because he's a propagandist for the US government war machine. The British media has a more honest article, as always.

POLITICS:

One in five Romney supports claim they will vote for Obama if Santorum wins the nomination. I'm skeptical of the numbers, but this sentiment is more evidence that Ron Paul is the best candidate to defeat Obama. I still think that the economy will defeat Obama no matter who runs, but Ron Paul could win huge with a huge mandate.

I'm getting a Ron Paul bobble-head!

MEDIA:

Do you want to know why the mainstream media is dying? I have three headlines which were listed one after the other in the results of a Google news search for Obama's approval ratings. First from the International Business Times:

"Obama Approval Rating Reaches Highest Point Since June 2011"

The second from CBS:

"Poll: Obama's approval rating sinks to new low"

The third from the Hill blog:

"Poll finds Obama's approval rating remains steady"

You can't make this stuff up. We keep hearing that the internet is killing the mainstream media, and there's a lot of truth to that, but the bigger cause it's dying so fast is the grossly biased and inaccurate reporting. The mainstream media is a crappy product.

MISC:

This is scary: DARPA director leaving for Google. The last thing we need is Google getting closer to the military.

How logic based on observations of human action can be used to derive economic laws.
