Cometh The Hour, Cometh The Body

Now that Rand Paul has gone over the the dark side, and Dr Ron has been kidnapped by neo-cons, it's time to bring out the big guns. This guy can't even spell the word 'compromise'.

Meanwhile, back at the Paul campaign ...

Rand, who's your favourite founding father?

I'm guessing this fella.

A black day for the liberty movement. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. As the man below put it:

“A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar.”

Calling the Remnant

Inspiration from Brother Tom, speaking in Oklahoma City, May 11, 2012.

Peter Schiff on Julia and Obama's 65 year presidency

Peter Schiff presents an alternative narrative to Obama's big government chunder-fest.

My favourite quote: "Government aid or government benefits; it's like you get a blood transfusion from your right arm to your left arm, and you spill half the blood on the floor."

Good versus Bad

To non-regulars, round these parts Dr Paul is GOOD, Krugman is BAD.

Notice how Krugman dredges up Friedman to use as a weapon against the sound Austrian free market position. Check out Rothbard's demolition job on the dean of the Chicago School.

Obama's latest tyrannical attack on farmers

Kurt Nimmo at Infowars writes:

Obama Ban on Youth Farm Chores Part of Larger Power Grab

Dredging up Dickensian horrors of child labor, the Obama administration has ordered the Labor Department to apply child labor laws to family farms. The new rules would make it illegal for children to perform a large number of labor tasks that have been performed by farm families for centuries. Traditionally, adults and children alike helped with planting and harvesting in the spring and fall, but the federal government is now determined not only to make this a historical footnote, but a criminal offense.

Under the rules, children under 18 would be prevented by the federal government from working “in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials” and prohibited “places of employment would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.”

In addition to making it far more difficult for families to work their farms, the new rules will revoke the government’s approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA and replace them with a 90-hour federal government training course, the Daily Caller reports.

In other words, the federal government will forcibly insert itself in the business of teaching animal husbandry and crop management, disciplines traditionally passed on by families and local communities.

Government apparatchiks will now oversee the business of local farming the same way Stalin did when he collectivized farms and “socialized” production at gunpoint in the Soviet Union. Resistance by farmers and peasants to Stalin’s efforts resulted in the government cutting off food rations, which resulted in widespread famine (the “terror-famine in Ukraine” killed around 12 million people) and millions were sent to forced labor camps.

The Labor Department’s effort to further erode the family farm falls on the heels of an unconstitutional executive order Obama issued last year establishing so-called rural councils.

Coming soon to a dystopia near you

Who can catalogue every inch on our civilisation's slide into the abyss of tyrannical control? So much slips past me, but here's one to note from across the pond. As ever now the case, it's only a question of timing when it's sprung on us here.

Read the whole article by Eric Peters here:

After a certain point, it’s not paranoia.

The latest brick in the wall is the predictably named “Moving Ahead For Progress in the 21st Century Act,” also known as Senate Bill 1813. (See here for the full text of the bill itself; the relevant section is 31406.) This legislation – already passed by the Senate and likely to be passed by the House – will impose a legal requirement that all new cars made beginning with the 2015 models be fitted with so-called Event Data Recorders (EDRs). These are the “black boxes” you may have read about that store data about how you drive – including whether you wear a seat belt and how fast you drive – ostensibly for purposes of post-accident investigation.

These EDRs are not new. GM and other automakers have been installing them in new cars for years – in GM’s case, since the late 1990s. What’s new is the proposed federal mandate, which would make it illegal to not have one – or (in all likelihood) to remove or disable one in a car required to have the device.

The question arises: why?

Several possibilities come to mind:

First, the EDRs could – and almost certainly will be – tied into your vehicle’s GPS. (Most new and late model cars, conveniently, already have this, too.) Then data about your driving can be transmitted – as well as recorded. To whom? Your insurance company, of course. Progressive Insurance already has such a system in place – voluntary, for the moment. (See here for more on that.)

When EDRs are mandated, you will no longer have a choice.

We’ll be told it’s all for the sake of (groan) “safety” – just like the old 55 MPH highway speed limit and every radar trap in the country. Of course, it’s really for the sake of revenue – the government’s and the insurance company’s. Your rates will be “adjusted” in real time, for every incident of “speeding” or not buckling up. It’ll be so much more efficient than using cops to issue tickets. After all, so many fishes escape! With an EDR in every car, no one will escape. Your “adjusted” premium will be waiting for you when you get home.

You’ve got mail!

Bill Kauffman on Localism

I heard Bill Kauffman speaking to Tom Woods, subbing on the Peter Schiff Radio Show, and was led to this speech he gave in Alfred, NY on the subject of localism. Spoiler Alert! This is the end of the speech. Here is Part 1 and Part 2.

How to pimp a race war

I have a post category named 'mendacious media'. Here's one for the file. The Trayvon Martin case is obviously much less of a deal over this side of the Atlantic, but NBC's doctored 911 call by the shooter, Zimmerman, prior to the incident has no doubt stoked tensions.

What NBC broadcast:

Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”

What was actually said:

Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.”

Dispatcher: “OK, and this guy – is he white, black or Hispanic?”

Zimmerman: “He looks black.”

NBC have apologised and sacked the producer, since being caught.

Is Obamacare going down?

Here's Judge Napolitano discussing day 3 of the Supreme Court hearing into Obamacare. Although there's plenty of time to wait for the ruling, it seems like Obama's unconstitutional dragon may have met its St. George.

Gene Burns: as recommended by Rothbard

I've not come across this fellow before, but I wondered who Rothbard praised as a far better speaker than himself. I've not watched it all as I write, but so far so good:

The Revolution Is

Here's a recent campaign ad for the Doctor

Here's a recent speech in Seattle

An old argument, but a vitally important one

Over at Liberal Conspiracy (sic), one of their number is attacking Daniel Hannan for his comments on Roosevelt's New Deal. It's enough to make statues weep, to see the same ludicrous nonsense trotted out to defend the fascistic Roosevelt and his disastrous policies.

The problem is that, even if people take different views, there has to be a common area of facts, but on this issue, no matter what evidence and rational debate is presented to overthrow the fairy tale of Roosevelt's success ( and you'd think the fact it's known as 'The Great Depression' may suggest a lack of success), it is a mammoth task to cut through the wall of willful ignorance. The enemies of liberty cannot refute the evidence of Benjamin M. Anderson, Murray Rothbard etc., who have laid out the water-tight case against Roosevelt's stinking New Deal. All they can do is cover their ears with their hands and shout 'la la la'.

Anyway, here's an interesting extract from Thaddeus Russell's 'Renegade History of the United States', which draws attention to the parallels between Roosevelt's policies and those of Hitler and Mussolini, and notes many instances where these latter two and their supporters were effusive in their praise for America's Great Dictator.

Cameron; don't come back, you embarrassing tosser

Further to my pithy comment below, I note that Cameron has interspersed the most nauseous flattery for His Majesty, with expressing concerns over the extradition treaty his government enforces.

What a mockery. If Cameron gave more than shit, he'd take action in Parliament to throw the treaty out. That's what being a sovereign nation means. But he doesn't care in the least, that British citizens can be arrested and extradited for supposed crimes which, if they even happened, took place in Britain.

Aside from the US extradition treaty, there is of course the European Union Arrest Warrant, another glaring example of the monstrous infringement of our rights and liberties in this land due to the EU, and that this government has done a fat fucking zero to reverse the dismantling of our nation.

Note for my American Readers

Yeah, we think he's a cunt too.
