FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

All government's rules and regulations have led to a quandary for dealing with the Megaupload data, especially when prosecutors pull out the claim servers "may contain child pornography". Of course they may not.

The Dutch Pirate Party refuses demand to remove its proxy to the Pirate Bay.

"Via Torrentfreak, Pirate Party chairman Dirk Poot: "There are a plethora of proxy sites on the internet. On almost any them TPB can by reached, even with a single URL. That’s not even mentioning the ways you can get to TPB if you’re willing to put in more effort than saving a single URL. If this keeps going there will be no Internet left by the time BREIN has achieved its goal of making TPB inaccessible. ... In their self-righteous zealousness they have brought substantial damage to the free and open Internet.""

Go Pirate Party! The last sentence hits the nail on the head: the last thing our rulers want is a free and open internet.

Arizona government tries to make trolling illegal.

STATE'S RIGHTS:

It's kind of funny to see the crooks who run Detroit save their power from the crooks who run Michigan. It's always entertaining to see two super-mafias battle it out. I feel sorry for the people they both kill.

ECONOMY:

MIT researchers predict the next great depression by 2030. They're a generation too late, and it has nothing to do with resource utilization. I'm sure Roman academics claimed the same. The next great depression has already begun because of government looting, and the our government elites are geniuses for fooling Americans into not realizing it.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

The worst of all monetary policies: inflate beyond any rational behavior. I don't believe Ben Bernanke is a fool. I believe Bernanke is a tool working to destroy the US dollar so it can be replaced by the amero. The man is a Princeton professor. He's not stupid. He's evil. This policy just happens to dovetail into the story about DHS requiring anybody from Britain to register with them before flying to Canada, Cuba or Mexico, not only the US. What these two stories are telling us is the US government is engaging in a systematic conspiracy to combine the US with Canada, Mexico, Cuba and much of the Caribbean into a North American state. Everybody running for president except Ron Paul kisses up to this deal.

EDUCATION:

Detroit students suspended for demanding an education.

"About 50 students from a high school in Detroit have been suspended after staging a walk-out to protest deteriorating conditions in the school. Public schools in the area have lost about 100,000 students during the past decade due to poor management."

This may be the Russian Times, but it's not the Onion. CBS news reports they were protesting lack of teachers. That's funny because it feeds into the propaganda that the government must spend more money on education, but read what really happened:

"Parents organized the walkout out of concern for the future of the school, which has about 200 students in grades six to 12. This year, as recently as last month, students spent weeks passing time in the gym after about half of the school’s teachers called in sick for several days, parents told the Detroit Free Press.

One parent told the paper that her son got an A in geometry first semester without taking a final exam. “It was by default, just for showing up. It wasn’t because he earned an A,” she said."

The government is spending the money on teachers, but they aren't showing up and teaching, undoubtedly because of the union, but the article won't say that.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Now the global warming frauds want us to believe that global warming is creating psychological problems in Americans.

WAR ON DRUGS:

The nanny state wants to treat cheese like opium. This is an opening salvo. They'll turn up the propaganda machine over time.

WAR:

The only popular accomplishment Obama can claim during his presidency is the assassination of Osama bin Laden, and that bump quickly faded, so he's decided to try Khalid Sheihk Mohammad and other terrorists now in hopes of capitalizing on the war on terror again in November.

POLITICS:

Obama ad misleads about his energy record. With a billion dollars, he can purchase a lot of lying air time.

Ron Paul draws 6,200 people to town hall.

Government manipulating race statistics to advance a leftist agenda?

"The government and its lapdog "mainstream" media invented the new phrase "white Hispanic" to describe the man who shot Trayvon Martin. One reason for this was suggested by Tom Marr on WCBM Radio in Baltimore recently. According to Marr, the Obama administration is apparently unhappy with the FBI crime statistics that show black-on-white crime to be seven times higher than white-on-black crime. So, says Mr. Marr, one thing the administration has done is to instruct the FBI statisticians to count a Hispanic who is the victim of a crime to be Hispanic, but Hispanics who are perpetrators of crimes are to be categorized as white (not "white Hispanic")."

I wouldn't put this past them, but I would like to see some evidence.

LOCAL:

Here we go again with the economic fallacy that government can seize money from people by force then give it back as corporate welfare in order to boost the economy. This is an example of the seen versus the unseen. It's easy to see jobs created by the corporate welfare, but it's impossible to see seizing the money in the first place destroys more jobs than is ultimately created.

MEDIA:

Don't you love how the media keeps claiming Republican policies will "limit access to birth control" like they're banning it or something? Birth control is not a right. It's a product. If want to use it, buy it. If you don't, pay to raise your child. These things are personal responsibilities.

MISC:

I'm skeptical that this law really bans insider trading by Congressmen. They wouldn't willingly give up that power without huge pressure from the people, and that hasn't happened. We sure haven't heard much about the details. And of course Obama wants more curbs on Congress. That would make Congress weaker and therefore the executive branch stronger.
