<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho2hy7ikygwQ-iO3U7ehUDD5isW7EPL7i-DXSpUIfmu-QVM3nEXL8Ig2tlD1i73keWPa0SOzgK4Fwz7-FmGVCssJrfipBPQzWwx7jhNe_WbO1uwpgxcCmQM_9KseyBBchIuNZEGRYObv_3/s640/antifa.jpg" /> </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Most 'official' Antifa groups label their movement as Anarcho-communism (also known as anarchist communism, free communism, libertarian communism and communist anarchism). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anarcho-communism Definition:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It is a theory of anarchism which advocates the abolition of the state, capitalism, wage labor and private property (while retaining respect for personal property) and in favor of common ownership of the means of production, direct democracy and a horizontal network of workers' councils with production and consumption based on the guiding principle: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".</blockquote>
Sounds different than regular Anarchy or Communism, doesn't it? At first glance 'yes'. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In his theory of communism, Karl Marx, says communism is supposed to be lived with no state at all, so by technical definition it is true anarchism (a system with no state). The key word is 'in theory'. Remember, Marx also said to have Stateless Communism humanity would either have to evolve first or there would need to be a temporary state to force people into it, and then it would eventually be stateless at some point (which we have never seen happen). In actuality, to accomplish the goals of communism some form of government is needed to maintain it, so something with the power of the state.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Definition of Anarco-Communism says it is a system with no state just like Marx' stateless communism, but like with Marx' communism, in reality you have to have a government to govern the 'common ownership of the means of production'. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is wealth redistribution, which again you need a government to accomplish this system.<br />
<br />
It claims 'private property' ownership is not allowed, but 'personal property' is allowed. But, how do you hold your right to stay somewhere (a dwelling) unmolested if you can't own private property? How do you not allow private property (housing, automobiles, businesses, means of production, ect)? What if the current owners of private property don't want to give it up? Who makes them give it up? Do you make it happen through 'Direct Democracy' by forcing people to give up private property aka use government to create a law (like a state)?<br />
<br />
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="csb12" data-offset-key="cfrbo-0-0">
</div>
Using 'Direct Democracy' to accomplish all of this is using a government, which does the same thing as a state. 'Direct Democracy' is mob rule, which is worse than 'Representative Democracy', because it (Direct Democracy) is quick, direct and has no barriers for slowing down and/or stopping the hot headed crowd from making decisions that could cause tyranny. Usually the minority suffers under direct democracy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Would Anarco-Communism, which is actually just regular communism need a state at first to accomplish it's intended goals? Yes. So we still would have some form of a state to initially force people to give up their private property and to maintain the system, so not anarchist at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But no matter how hard they try and attach anarchy (no state) and libertarian to Anarcho-Communism (which is Marx Communism); it just sounds like the 'State Communism' we have always witnessed since its original inception.<br />
<br />

<div>
I said when Trump does something good I will give him props. Trump has used an Executive Order to do away with the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership), which is bad for America. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Good job Trump!</span></b></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You might say, but aren't you against a President using Executive Orders to get things done?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I answer you, "ONLY when used unconstitutionally". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An Executive Orders is only unconstitutional when it makes law or reverses laws made by Congress. TPP was a treaty never ratified by Congress, only agreed to by President Obama. Reversing things unilaterally done by another President is well within the proper use of an EO. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My cheers on the topic of trade will be short, since it is to bad that Trump is going to counter that good act with something equally as bad at TPP ...<b>tariffs</b>, which will benefit American corporations, but not the average American, since it will make prices go up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, I am against Executive Orders used to write law or repeal laws passed by Congress. And when I hear Trump has done this, then I will go after him.<br /><br />Keeping you accountable Donald J Trump.</div>

Ever since Rand Paul suspended his campaign, I just can't get excited about the 2016 Presidential Race. Each of the people who are talked about as serious contenders each have major flaws that make them someone I can not vote for at all or someone I feel leery to vote for with good conscious.<br />
<br />
I mean if these were minor flaws, or medium flaws, then that would eb one thing, but these are major flaws.<br /><br />With Trump, he is arrogant; is nasty to people; has facist dictator tendencies; brags about being a crony capitalist who buys politicians, is for single payer; has been for gun control; he supports the wars in the Middle East; bombing people who don't do what we like; said he fully supports the Patriot Act and NSA spying (which both violate our 4th and 5th amendment rights and seems to have no constitutional or moral principles.<br /><br />Hillary, well she is Hillary. OK, OK, I guess I should say a few things about her. She supports crony capitalism (the 1%), she is good with the foreign wars, wants high taxes, big government. Really she is not much different than trump.<br /><br />Sanders is a socialist, although he seems to be against all the endless wars and against crony capitalism, though he probably is against all capitalism, even the good kind.<br /><br />Bush, well he's a Bush. And he is not a lot different than Hillary and Trump, though unlike Trump and like Hillary he is for amnesty. And he is not for as high of taxes as Hillary and Sanders, though I bet he wouldn't care if they were 'reasonably' high. A warmongering interventionist<br /><br />Rubio is similar to Bush, except he is a robot that repeats the same five things every time, and doesn't seem to be able to speak anything but his talking points. He comes across as an angry, immature warmonger. Has no problem with trading our God given constitutional rights and liberties for 'our safety', by increasing NSA spying and using the Patriot Act to violate our 4th and 5th amendment rights. He uses the phrase for his campaign "A New American Century", which shows his direct connection to establishment, big government, neo-conservative , William Krystol, who runs an organization where Rubio directly lifts that phrase, A New American Century.<br /><br />Carson is a softer version of the same statism and warmongering as the rest, excluding the pacifist Sanders.<br /><br />This leaves Cruz, there is a lot of things I like about Cruz, but he has ties to Goldman Sachs, which destroyed our economy, especially in 2008. He seems to have no qualms with the Federal Reserve. Seems to flipflop on NSA spying and supports the patriot Act. And is OK with carpet bombing the ME, until the sand glows. Not sure i can overlook these things, but we will see.Kirby Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05274757163676918775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571523991228007769.post-71452915470436464632016-02-08T10:00:00.000-05:002016-02-08T10:00:14.672-05:00Kneel Before Zod, the power of the Presidency and Government<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kneel before Zod!!! I don't think so. Why do tyrants always what accolades and worship? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Look at most every US President. They might not demand worship like Zod, but they sure do accept it. <br />
<br />
Some US President's even demand in it, even if in is a convoluted way. They demand the Congress, the people's representatives, do their will, and if not they will go around them. Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and Obama come to mind.</div>
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Well Lord Acton said it best. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Government, mostly through Congress, has given presidents what King George, enemy of the revolution, would have considered absolute power. Men/Women have an ego and are vain, to some extent, as part of our human nature. And when you are treated better then the rest, given accolade after accolade, and treated like a king, you will act like one.<br />
<br />
The Founders collectively, knew this, and that is why they decided on a President of limited power, not a king. A President with limited powers which would run one third of the Federal Government with limited powers.<br />
<br />
More corrupt men, of the last few centuries, wished to control this limited government, and changed it through laws that crippled its limited scope, to give it more power, that they would control. Ben Franklin warned that the new government had the probability to be an all powerful government if not kept in check. As time went on they gave more and more power to the Congress, the Courts and the Office of the Presidency.<br />
<br />
In FDR's time the Progressives, through Congress and the President himself, gave the Presidency almost dictatorial powers. It finally took the People speaking out and electing brave men to lessen that power, at least temporarily. But those corrupt men found ways to grow the power of the Federal Government (State and local too) once again, and give the Courts, Congress and the Presidentcy more and more power. <br />
<br />
In the most modern times, as the power of the Government and the Presidency grew, 911 happened and was used was the mechanism to give the Government the most power ever since FDR and the President dictatorial power. Power that King George and FDR could have only dreamed about.<br />
<br />
So far, the corrupt powers that be, although they have the power to be absolute dictators, have only toyed with it to see what the American People would tolerate. Clinton and his using his government power to openly target his enemies and overcome moral objections to his personal behavior, Bush with his war powers and Obama and his pen writing executive orders making law to subvert the 2nd amendment. Clinton tried to see if his power would shield him from corruption, Bush tried to see if his power could make him immune to war mongering and Obama used his power to see if he could get away with rewriting the Constitution using his pen. All succeeded.<br />
<br />
What can we do?<br />
<br />
The choices are few:<br />
<br />
One, keep working within the system, now corrupted by the evil corrupt men who wished and still wish to usurp power and authority form the People and the States, to change the system back to its original intent with the government beholden to the people, and not in charge of the people's every action.<br />
<br />
or,<br />
<br />
Two, Revolution, and force these men out of power and set government power back to the people, though this time all the people, not just rich, white males. Would this second choice be bloody? Maybe not. But the first time a Revolution as necessary it was.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times" , serif; font-size: 13px;">"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."</span></blockquote>

<b>Glen Sturtevant cowers and sides with the gun grabbers like Michael Bloomberg and Dan Gecker. Sturtevant quote: </b> <span style="color: yellow;">"</span><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15.6047px; line-height: 23.407px;"><span style="color: yellow;">We must enforce our strong federal and state gun laws"</span></span></span><b><br /></b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Dan Gecker, in addition to being a gun grabber, is tax raising leftist, who raised taxes in Chesterfield </b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">My name is Kirby Harris, Chairman of the Chesterfield Tea Party, and I personally endorse <a href="http://www.loser4liberty.com/" target="_blank"><u>Carl Loser</u></a> for the 10th District Virginia State Senate Seat. </span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>He is the only candidate in the Virginia 10th District State Senate Race that stands 100% for our Liberties and Freedoms so long enjoyed by Virginians and Americans. </b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Glen Sturtevant </b>seemed like an OK candidate at first, but then Michael Bloomberg funded ads attacking Sturtevant as being backed by the Gun Lobby. Sturtevant fired back, in his own ad, saying quote, <span style="color: yellow;">"</span><span style="font-family: Open Sans;"><span style="font-size: 15.6047px; line-height: 23.407px;"><span style="color: yellow;">We must enforce our strong federal and state gun laws"</span>. So he is attacked by gun grabbing Michael Bloomberg, and he cowers under pressure, and sells out gun owners Constitutional 2nd Amendment right to own guns. Most of the current VIrginia and Federal gun laws do nothing to prevent gun crime, and only punish and encroach on Americans Constitutional right to bear arms. </span></span><br />
<br />
<b>Dan Gecker</b> is a tax and spend leftist, who wants to raise taxes on Virginians, like he did when he was a on the Board of Supervisors in Chesterfield. His tax hikes hurt my family, and I do not want him to do more damage to families like mine if he were to get into the Virginia State Senate.<br />
<br />
Vote <a href="http://www.loser4liberty.com/" target="_blank"><u>Carl Loser</u></a> next Tuesday, November 3rd in Virginia's State Senate District 10. <br />
<br />
If you are not sure if you are in the 10th district, then go to the <a href="http://whosmy.virginiageneralassembly.gov/" target="_blank"><u>Where is My Virginia State Legislator Website</u></a>, then type in your address. Your State and National Legislators will pop up at the bottom. If your State Senate Section says John Watkins, 10th District, then you can vote for Carl.<br />

Was watching President Obama's Live Press Conference today. He was talking about Immigration Reform. This showed me that this supposed US Constitutional Scholar has NO understanding of the US Constitution. He doesn't understand how the three branches work.<br />
<br />
He said (paraphrasing) that immigration reform has to get done NOW, so Congress needs to get it done, BUT IF they don't get it done, then he will use his executive order power to do so.<br />
<br />
Doesn't he understand that the Constitution gives ONLY the Congress the power to make laws, NOT the president? Yes, since George Washington the Executive Order was added through law, though it isn't in the Constitution.<br />
<br />
BUT in the Spirit of the law, it was created so the President could make TEMPORARY Laws in EMERGENCIES when the Congress was not in session (since they weren't in session much back then). It was NOT meant to make permanent law if the the President didn't think the Congress made the right call and didn't pass a certain law.<br />
<br />
Obama is breaking the Spirit f the Constitutional Division of Powers of the three branches and the Spirit of the law of the Executive Order.<br />

"On Monday of last week, the White House announced that in its pursuit of ISIS, the U.S. will go wherever it finds ISIS targets, and if ISIS hides in Syria and the government of Syria does not permit U.S. jets to use its airspace, the U.S. will attack Syria. That sounds like Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Ukraine.<br />
<br />
Attacking Syria because its government denied the U.S. airspace would be an unprovoked and unlawful act of war that would probably provoke Putin. Congress rejected declaring war on Syria just a year ago. If it does so now, there would be no lawful or moral basis for such a declaration, as Syria is a sovereign country, lawfully entitled to control its airspace, that poses no present threat to American freedom or security. The U.S. can no more legally commandeer Syrian airspace than Syria can commandeer ours.<br />
<br />
Something is amiss here. Last year the president wanted to help ISIS indirectly by degrading the Syrian military. Now he wants to help Syria indirectly by degrading ISIS, but only if Syria stays out of our way. And he is prepared to violate the Constitution, break the law and lie to the American people to achieve his purposes.<br />
<br />
Why all the unlawfulness, when he could and should leave these disputants to their own devices and keep the American military at home for genuine defensive purposes?" ~ Judge Andrew Napolitano<br />

I guess our 24-year involvement hasn’t been enough time to bring unity and democracy to Iraq.</p> <p>How many more years and how many more lives lost must we endure attempting to justify such a miserable failure in policy? I guess we’re supposed to be pleased because it’s certainly been a bipartisan effort. One of the sickest argument made for continuing our effort and even expanding it is to make sure the men and women who lost their lives did not do so in vain.</p> <p>How will more losses justify what has already been lost?</p> <p>The 24-year effort to remake the Middle East and, in particular, Iraq and Afghanistan, was doomed to fail from the start. Many informed Americans from the very beginning in 1990 argued the case for staying out of this effort. They were ignored by both Republican and Democratic leaders. The president suggested the problem is that the Iraqis are not united. They were once, under Saddam Hussein. Getting rid of him solved nothing since the right of self determination was denied.</p> <p>Permitting the natural desire for smaller and separate government entities could have gone a long way in preventing the chaos which set the stage for the Islamic State invasion armed with American weapons coming from our ridiculous policy of arming the rebels in Syria.</p> <p>We’re now hearing about the humanitarian concerns for the refugees in in northern Iraq. The real motivation may well be the danger to our military advisors trapped in Erbil—some boots on the ground that never left.<br>More people should listen to Ronald Reagan as he reflected in his memoirs on the tragic loss of 241 marines in a suicide attack in Beirut in 1983.</p> <blockquote> <p>“Perhaps we didn’t appreciate fully enough the depth of the hatred and the complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle. The irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had been changed to a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 Marines would be alive today.”</p></blockquote> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.voicesofliberty.com/audio/rethink-military-action-before-our-men-die/" target="_blank"><font size="4"><strong><u>STORY ORGINALLY POSTED HERE</u></strong></font></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571523991228007769.post-90972489348157402712014-07-23T15:00:00.000-04:002014-07-23T15:00:00.752-04:00What the Media Won’t Report About Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17<h4><font size="2">written by </font><a href="http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles.aspx?author=Ron+Paul" target="_blank"><font size="2"><u>ron paul</u></font></a><font size="2"> - sunday july 20, 2014 - </font><a href="http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2014/july/20/what-the-media-won%E2%80%99t-report-about-malaysian-airlines-flight-mh17.aspx" target="_blank"><u><font size="2">READ MORE STORIES LIKE THIS HERE</font></u></a></h4> <p><img style="margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; display: inline; float: left" alt="Ronpaul Tst" align="left" src="http://ronpaulinstitute.org/media/31155/ronpaul-tst_184x65.jpg" width="200" height="81">Just days after the tragic crash of a Malaysian Airlines flight over eastern Ukraine, Western politicians and media joined together to gain the maximum propaganda value from the disaster. It had to be Russia; it had to be Putin, they said. President Obama held a press conference to claim – even before an investigation – that it was pro-Russian rebels in the region who were responsible. His ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, did the same at the UN Security Council – just one day after the crash!</p> <p>While western media outlets rush to repeat government propaganda on the event, there are a few things they will not report.</p> <p>They will not report that the crisis in Ukraine started late last year, when EU and US-supported protesters plotted the overthrow of the elected Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. Without US-sponsored “regime change,” it is unlikely that hundreds would have been killed in the unrest that followed. Nor would the Malaysian Airlines crash have happened.</p> <p>The media has reported that the plane must have been shot down by Russian forces or Russian-backed separatists, because the missile that reportedly brought down the plane was Russian made. But they will not report that the Ukrainian government also uses the exact same Russian-made weapons.</p> <p>They will not report that the post-coup government in Kiev has, according to OSCE monitors, killed 250 people in the breakaway Lugansk region since June, including 20 killed as government forces bombed the city center the day after the plane crash! Most of these are civilians and together they roughly equal the number killed in the plane crash. By contrast, Russia has killed no one in Ukraine, and the separatists have struck largely military, not civilian, targets.</p> <p>They will not report that the US has strongly backed the Ukrainian government in these attacks on civilians, which a State Department spokeswoman called “measured and moderate.”</p> <p>They will not report that neither Russia nor the separatists in eastern Ukraine have anything to gain but everything to lose by shooting down a passenger liner full of civilians.</p> <p>They will not report that the Ukrainian government has much to gain by pinning the attack on Russia, and that the Ukrainian prime minister has already expressed his pleasure that Russia is being blamed for the attack.</p> <p>They will not report that the missile that apparently shot down the plane was from a sophisticated surface-to-air missile system that requires a good deal of training that the separatists do not have.</p> <p>They will not report that the separatists in eastern Ukraine have inflicted considerable losses on the Ukrainian government in the week before the plane was downed.</p> <p>They will not report how similar this is to last summer’s US claim that the Assad government in Syria had used poison gas against civilians in Ghouta. Assad was also gaining the upper hand in his struggle with US-backed rebels and the US claimed that the attack came from Syrian government positions. Then, US claims led us to the brink of another war in the Middle East. At the last minute public opposition forced Obama to back down – and we have learned since then that US claims about the gas attack were false.</p> <p>Of course it is entirely possible that the Obama administration and the US media has it right this time, and Russia or the separatists in eastern Ukraine either purposely or inadvertently shot down this aircraft. The real point is, it's very difficult to get accurate information so everybody engages in propaganda. At this point it would be unwise to say the Russians did it, the Ukrainian government did it, or the rebels did it. Is it so hard to simply demand a real investigation?</p> <p><a href="http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2014/july/20/what-the-media-won%E2%80%99t-report-about-malaysian-airlines-flight-mh17.aspx" target="_blank"><u>ENTIRE STORY ORGINALLY POSTE HERE ON THE RON PAUL INSTITUTE</u></a> <strong><Live Link</strong> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571523991228007769.post-35651287150422162632014-07-22T16:18:00.001-04:002014-07-22T16:18:48.290-04:00Take Action Against NSA Mass Surveillance<p><strong>Updated: July 21, 2014 by <a href="http://www.voicesofliberty.com/bio/mike-maharrey/" target="_blank"><u>Mike Maharrey</u></a><br>(<a href="http://annexdiscussion.blogspot.com/2014/07/want-to-control-nsa-spying-turn-off.html" target="_blank"><u>Watch a similar video by Benn Swann Here</u></a>)</strong> <p><a title="Ben Swann - Turn off the NSA's Water" href="http://annexdiscussion.blogspot.com/2014/07/want-to-control-nsa-spying-turn-off.html" target="_blank"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 20px 10px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Picture by Ben Swann - Turn Off the NSA Water" border="0" alt="Picture by Ben Swann - Turn Off the NSA Water" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6EPjJPXaORw/U87HJOMNoLI/AAAAAAAAI-c/A0p2okLqkQs/water-nsa%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="160"></a>Have you noticed people never hear about an NSA revelation and say, “Oh, that isn’t as bad as I thought?” <p>In fact, every leaked document proves the spy agency more invasive, more expansive and more insidious than we realized. And what we’ve seen likely represents just the tip of the iceberg. If what we know causes grave concern, the prospect of what remains hidden should send shivers up our spines. <p>Former NSA technical chief turned whistle blower William Binney numbered the constitutional violations committed by the NSA in the trillions. <p>Trillions. <p>Beyond the constitutional concerns, incessant snooping tramples basic privacy rights. <p>But what can we do about it? <p>After a more than a year of Edward Snowden revelations, Congress failed to pass one substantive reform. The president took no action. An “independent” government panel recently stamped the NSA’s most controversial program with its seal of approval. Clearly, we can’t count on the federal government to rein in an out of control federal agency. <p>In The Art of War, Sun Tzu advised this strategy: “Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.” <p>The NSA expects opponents to “attack” from the same front: Washington D.C. It’s ready for that. But it does have an Achilles Heel. The spy agency needs resources like water and electricity. State and local governments often supply them. For instance, the NSA storage facility in Bluffdale, Utah, will reportedly use some 1.7 million gallons of water when fully operational. The city holds the contract to supply that water.</p> <p align="center"> <iframe height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8ANUo8BnYoo" frameborder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p align="center">(<a href="http://annexdiscussion.blogspot.com/2014/07/want-to-control-nsa-spying-turn-off.html" target="_blank"><u>Watch a similar video by Benn Swann Here</u></a>)</p> <p>It doesn’t have to. <p>Nothing obligates state and local governments to help federal agencies violate your rights. In fact, state and local governments don’t have to provide money, manpower or resources for any federal purpose. <p>Under the anti-commandeering doctrine, the Supreme Court has consistently held the federal government cannot force states to help implement or enforce federal acts or programs. It rests primarily on four Supreme Court cases. Printz v. US serves the cornerstone. <p>“The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program…such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty.” <p>So, when a state or city provides water or electricity to the NSA, we can turn it off! <p>Last summer, the Tenth Amendment Center partnered with the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and drafted legislation to do just that, birthing the <a href="http://offnow.org/" target="_blank"><u>OffNow campaign</u></a><u>.</u> <p>The Fourth Amendment Protection Act addresses NSA spying in four ways. It prohibits state and local agencies from providing material support to the NSA within their jurisdiction. It makes information gathered without a warrant by the NSA and shared with law enforcement inadmissible in state court. It blocks public universities from serving as NSA research facilities or recruiting grounds. And it provides for sanctions against corporations cooperating with the spy agency. <p>Lawmakers introduced the bill in more than a dozen states last year. A version passed the state Senate in California and remains on track for passage in the Assembly. A Utah House committee considered the bill and referred it to interim study, meaning it will have a public hearing and lawmakers will take it up in the next session. We consider this a great start, but much work remains. <p>The <a href="http://offnow.org/" target="_blank"><u>OffNow</u></a> strategy attacks the soft underbelly of the spy-state and seeks change from the bottom up. It bypasses the political class in D.C. and relies on state power animated by grassroots activists. Our goal is to hinder the operation of the NSA and force substantive changes. By denying the spy-state the material support and compliance it needs, we can preserve our basic civil liberties and privacy rights. <p>Your support could mean the difference in this epic struggle for our rights. Please join <a href="http://offnow.org/" target="_blank"><u>OffNow</u></a>, and help us speak truth to power as we battle for our essential freedoms. <br><br><a href="http://www.voicesofliberty.com/article/take-action-against-nsa-mass-surveillance/" target="_blank"><font size="3"><u>READ MORE STORIES LIKE THIS ON VOICES OF LIBERTY</u></font></a> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571523991228007769.post-34807933459100915512014-07-22T15:08:00.001-04:002014-07-22T15:08:58.666-04:00Dirty dealing to pass the Internet Tax Mandate this week?<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SujD_Sil_3M/U862thM5pSI/AAAAAAAAI9E/6HL-nhoMHRs/s1600-h/campaignforliberty%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="campaignforliberty" border="0" alt="campaignforliberty" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dHMxB9S8tOc/U862vjoVZGI/AAAAAAAAI9M/R4JD-RGB1OI/campaignforliberty_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="571" height="176"></a></p> <p>by <a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.org/author/ns_admin/" target="_blank"><u>Norm Singleton</u></a> on <abbr>JULY 21, 2014</abbr></p> <p><abbr></abbr>Unless you act NOW, the National Internet Tax Mandate could sail through the Senate this week! <p>You see, Campaign for Liberty members have been so successful in keeping the National Internet Tax Mandate from even being considered by the U.S. House that the powerful interests behind it are being forced to “get creative.” <p>Now, a “bipartisan” group of Senators — led by Big Government Republican Lamar Alexander and acting on behalf of pro-Mandate special interests — is working with Harry Reid to ram the Mandate into law by attaching it to legislation preventing governments from taxing you whenever you go online! <p>Senator Alexander has even gone as far as to threaten to block passage of the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act, a bill that would prevent state and local governments from taxing Internet access, if Senator Reid doesn’t attach the Mandate to it! <p>And I have heard from Capitol Hill sources that House Republican leadership — desperate to please the pro-Mandate big corporate interests but terrified of being Cantor’d for publicly supporting imposing more regulations on the Internet — has quietly signed off on this deal! <p>Please call your senators and tell them to vote NO on all votes to attach the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act” to the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act – including all procedural votes. <p>You can find your Senator's numbers <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a>. <p>The first procedural votes could take place as early as today, so it is vital you call your senators right away! <p>Let me explain more about this secret deal. <p>In 1998, Congress passed legislation placing a moratorium on taxing Internet access. <p>Several weeks ago, the House passed a bill making the moratorium permanent, and the bill enjoys broad Senate support. <p>Lamar Alexander, Harry Reid, and the special interests behind the National Internet Tax Mandate appear to hope that attaching the Mandate to the moratorium bill will provide “cover” for politicians to say they had to support the Mandate in order to ensure you did not have to pay Internet access taxes. <p>We have come too far in our battle against the Mandate to be defeated by a sleazy deal like this! <p>The only way to stop this deal is to make sure the politicians clearly see that grassroots Americans are on to this scheme and will not let them get away with it. <p>Together, we can force Lamar Alexander, Harry Reid, and their silent partners in crime in the Republican House leadership to abandon this sneak attack meant to please big-spending special interests. <p>So please urge your senators to oppose any effort to include the National Internet Tax Mandate in the moratorium bill. <p>And make sure they understand you expect them to vote no on all procedural votes to advance this plan, as well. <p>You can find your senators’ numbers <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a>. <p>Harry Reid is expected to launch this sneak attack any day now, so please contact your senators immediately! <p>The National Internet Tax Mandate’s incentive to raise sales taxes will lead to an explosion of already out-of-control state budgets, while raising prices on everything you buy online and freeing tax collectors in one state to pursue retailers across state lines. <p>In addition, the Mandate completely turns “No Taxation without Representation” on its head by allowing state legislatures to raise taxes on individuals and businesses located out of state with their having little, if any, recourse against those politicians who hike tax rates. <p>Even worse, the massive cost of complying with the National Internet Tax Mandate could drive many smaller Internet companies out of business — and discourage the creation of the next Amazon.com. <p>So please urge your senators to both oppose the National Internet Tax Mandate and also any efforts to include it in the moratorium bill. <p>And if you can, please help Campaign for Liberty mobilize grassroots Americans to stop the Mandate by <a href="http://www.chooseliberty.org/ist2014_d.aspx?pid=web" target="_blank"><u>chipping in $50, $25, or even just $10 today</u></a><strong></strong>. <p>But most importantly, please contact your <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" target="_blank"><u>senators</u></a> right away! <p>In Liberty, <p>Norm Singleton<br>Vice President of Policy <p>P.S. Harry Reid — at the behest of a “bipartisan” group of senators led by Lamar Alexander — is planning to ram through the National Internet Tax Mandate by attaching it to legislation prohibiting Internet access taxes. <p>This sleazy move is designed to provide cover for pro-Internet sales tax politicians to claim they “had” to vote for the Mandate in order to protect you from Internet access taxes. <p>So it is vital your <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" target="_blank"><u>senators hear from you TODAY</u></a>.<br><br> <hr> <p><a href="http://www.campaignforliberty.org/national-blog/dirty-dealing-pass-internet-tax-mandate-week/" target="_blank"><font size="4">This Call to Action was originally posted here</font></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571523991228007769.post-64566564320966876992014-07-21T15:00:00.000-04:002014-07-21T15:00:02.442-04:00Freedom of choice!<p>By <a href="http://www.floydbayne.com/p/about.html" target="_blank"><u>Floyd Bayne</u></a> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1ZtAyg123x4/U8v6pSkUmgI/AAAAAAAAI8s/1zsoizakBAk/s1600-h/Ichooseyoupay%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: left; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Ichooseyoupay" border="0" alt="Ichooseyoupay" align="left" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NfBptR9bCLc/U8v6qt-JWCI/AAAAAAAAI80/FO5PkwTlaWE/Ichooseyoupay_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="322" height="279"></a>Freedom of choice! We hear it all the time from various segments of our society. I like it. It makes sense. We are supposed to live in a free country, a constitutional republic, so you should have the freedom to choose a lot of different things in your life. <p>However, it seems to me that all too often many people who espouse this "freedom of choice" only mean it when it applies to them and something they like/want. They forget that there are other people who may not share their views and their idea(s) of what is and is not a good choice. They forget that in many cases a demand to have a choice that you like for yourself implies that someone else has to, MUST, provide that choice for you. Let's take the notion, as many seem to believe, that you have a "right" to a job. That would then mean that any and EVERY employer has the obligation to provide you with that job, any job, any job that you want at that moment. They have to, because it is your "right!" <p>Is it really? We also hear that you have a right to a house. Everyone should have a house of their own, because some people do everyone must. If you have a "right" to a house then who has the obligation of providing that house for you? At what cost? Who pays for it? The same is said for healthcare. You have a "right" to health care. You have a "right" to birth control. OK, then that implies that someone must provide it. Who? How? Why? At what costs and who pays for it? What if business owners said "To hell with this" and just closed shop? What if the people who build homes decided they were not going to comply? What if doctors decided they were not going to treat people anymore? Should they be forced to? Should they go to jail if they don't? <p>When people start hollering about rights and "freedom of choice" they would do well to remember that their choices and their freedoms are not the only ones to be considered. They might also want to look into what is actually a "right" and what is not. Just my not so humble opinion. (Am I being opinionated again?)
