"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason. ~ Frederick Douglass

When You Have 16.2 Trillion in Debt, What's a Billion Here or There?
We're going to give Bangladesh a billion....you know... because we are so flush with extra money and all. I am surprised that after we offered them a billion, they didn't counter with 3 billion.http://news.yahoo.com/u-offers-bangladesh-1-billion-aid-over-next-124245322.html
Football Saturday- The Sucker Line- Geaux Saints
I am a huge New Orleans Saints' fan. Primarily because I lived there for a year and loved it. On fall Sundays, when the team was in town, church services only lasted 44 minutes. Then we were out the door enroute to the Superdome.
Last night, I saw that the spread on the Saints-49ers tilt was -3.5 Saints. That is the consummate sucker line.
Football bettors, wise guys, know there is no better bet than a home dog in the playoff season. That angle, taking +3.5 and the 49ers today, has made me a lot of money over the years. Unfortunately, because I am a Saints fan- I can't do it. I did find one guy willing to take -3.
Of course there is no money involved. That would be illegal.
I have the same dilemma in the Bronco-Patriot tilt. Double digit favorites only cover about 30% of the time. Thus the Patriots at home and 13.5 favorites against Denver are dogs to cover the spread. I don't have the same interest in this game that I do in the first one. However, I am going to be rooting for Tebow because I am sick of Tom Brady. Brady has everything. Hall of fame, gobs of money, good looks and intelligence, and Giselle whats-her-name. I'm so sick of Boy Wonder that I'm all about divine intervention. But I don't think God really cares about football. Having said that...
the Broncos are going to get their asses kicked. But, I will be watching early just in case...
If I absolutely had to wager here, and there was a day when I always had to wager, I would be playing home teams today. But since I don't have to bet...I will be rooting for the visitors.

My Gawd, Four More Anti-Fed Kooks
Listen to these kooks. How come none of us learned about the Fed in state run schools? Odd.
Goodbye Republic, I Hardly Knew Ye
I have a difficult choice to make this year or next.
Am I going to endure the police state that America is about to become or am I going to get the hell out while I still can? I have to accept the fact that this country cannot and will not get it's head screwed on in time. How bad will the trip down be? That's the 64,000 dollar question.
The old two party elite monopoly has it's boot on the throat of America. Elect one of the two elite choices given to you.
Highly intelligent people like Mr. Roberts know we are screwed. Why do highly credible people support a kook? Because they are smart enough to see through the bullshit and they know know who the bad guys are. America's last chance has no chance. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/01/14/americas-last-chance/
The media, the corporate kleptocracy including the bankers, will do anything they can to smear Ron Paul and convince Americans that he is a kook. They hate this man. The only thing they can find to smear him with is some ancient newsletters that are racist or perhaps his anti-war policies. Big deal. How many people aged 76, black or white, do I know that don't harbor some ill will about some other race? Truth be told- zero. Ron Paul is no more a racist than Barack Obama is. Yet Ron Paul has no win. Not only has the kleptocracy kept him on the outside, painted him a kook and a conspiracy believer, but they will never let this man reach the White House. In fact, I believe that if Paul received the nomination- he would be killed.
Some Indians believed that you could judge how great a man was by the number of enemies he had. By that yardstick, Paul is doing quite well.
I would like to leave you today with one last thought. Several years ago, a guy named Ross Perot ran for President. He was very rich but he was self made. I did not consider him elite until I read that he went to a private boarding school..Hmmm. He promised that if free trade agreements were signed, this country would implode and lose it's base of industrial workers. That in fact has happened. You don't hear much from Ross these days.
Paul has the same message Perot did. Only this time, the whole fucking Republic is at stake. It is that dire- it is that real.
And I'm not sure if I want to spend the last years of my life turning over all of my money and thus my freedom- to the new corporate banker governance.
AT THE CLOSE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government the Constitution was bringing into existence. Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

What The Elite Know
Yesterday I was doing my unconscious rounds of the dashboard when I stumbled onto Republican Mother's site.
I don't know who Republican Mother is. I will tell you this. I like her. A lot. In fact, I have never disagreed with a single thing she has written or commented on. She is razor sharp. So it was that I read this piece. http://therepublicanmother.blogspot.com/2012/01/history-its-your-birthright.html
She had embedded a video by John Taylor Gatto. Gatto is a retired NY educator, a free thinker, and anti-establishment. Please do not forget that name. From about 3 PM yesterday until 1 AM, I did nothing but watch and listen to you tube videos of this man. I rinsed and repeated that same exercise this morning for another two hours. Why?
Because John Taylor Gatto solved one of the greatest riddles of my life. What makes the elite different from the rest of us? Why do they get access to the finest everything?
At the end of the day, it simply boils down to education. Of course. The elite must have had access to something I did not. I knew that inherently this must be true. I have observed the elite and their children throughout my life. If you are like me- the product of some shitty tax sponsored cattle training within the public school system- you have seen it as well. In fact, you have felt it. Had I lived my life immersed in some blue collar town- I would have received a lesser dose of elitism. As it stands, I received a very high and nearly fatal dose of elitism, living amongst the snobbery of Moonbat Valley.
There are three kinds of schools. I am offering a vague representation or opinion. This is my summary.
Lets suppose we are looking at a vertical tube or chart, like those used to illustrate accomplished goals on fund raising events. The bottom 10% of that tube is occupied by the people who drop out or simply can't function within any type of formal classroom. They are either financially constrained, emotionally or psychologically constrained, or perhaps even mentally handicapped. For whatever reason, they simply cannot function within our educational system. They drop out. Their classroom becomes the school of hard knocks. Life becomes on the job training.
The next 85% of that vertical tube is occupied by the vast majority of us. State run school educated kids. We are the cattle. The curriculum for us is designed to produce obedient workers. We are made to memorize idiotic things like the Table of Elements not because we will ever use it- but so that we can demonstrate that we are willing to follow directions and memorize some useless fucking chart that will have no further meaning in our lives. This gives the elite use able information. Will this person do as he is told? Will he comply with orders? Is he well disciplined? Did he complete high school and four years of college? The elite and those hiring you are not particularly interested in your GPA, your intelligence, or your abilities- so much as they are interested in making sure that you are capable and compliant. Obedient. You will be eligible for hire for reasons that don't have a damn thing to do with intelligence or ability. In fact, I think most business hierarchies are threatened by intelligent people.
The last 5%, or the top of our tube, is occupied by the elite. They receive an entirely different education than the cattle sent to the state run educational systems. They learn social graces. They learn who is important, how to behave, and how to gain access to important people. They learn things that are extremely useful to enriching their lives. They learn how to behave and act rationally. They learned about the arts and activities that other elite people engage in. They learn these things in private boarding schools where access is generally only granted to those able to afford it. The elite Darwinian evolution is maintained via this educational system.
The wheat is separated from the chaff. The elite are screened and given access to the world of the elite.
Do I believe this? With absolute certainty. I have witnessed it and felt it, time and time again. If I learned anything from the rich and elite in Moonbat Valley it was this. Do I particularly care? No not really. Materialism was never my gig. I simply do not covet wealth. But I do find it interesting.
I am going to embed the first of several Gatto videos I watched last night. He is very intelligent but dry. The quality of the video is poor, particularly the sound. However as you watch and evaluate this guy, you just know that what he says is intrinsically true. Very enlightening stuff.

Frankenstein Government, Fighting Inflation, Holds The Line On Subscription Prices at Rock Bottom Lows
It's a labor of love... that's for sure.
A couple of years ago, my girlfriend got into the habit of nagging me about writing every morning. This was before I was aware that women could sometimes nag. A lot. Eventually, I received the ultimatum. My laptop or her.
I think we all know how that turned out.
So after evaluating some old stuff I had written and then some new stuff- and then judging the quality of my work, it's obvious to me that I should just be thankful that anyone comes here at all.
With no pricing ability, no rewards, and no sex, (sans all that nagging) I realize that I should just be grateful that my readers don't ask me to send them a check in the comment section. Or direct me to some centralized tip jar.
It's all good. After the I.R.S. gives me my 300 million for turning in Jon Corzine, I'll make sure and give you loyal readers a slice. That's how I roll. Now if you'll forgive me I gotta go surf the web and find some more assholery to write about. FG

Obama, Great Deceiver, Still Lying About Bankers and Then Hiring Them
Oh, how I hate those bankers he says publicly to the voters.
Privately, he hires the third banker in a row as his chief of staff. Crony capitalism, Obama style. Do people still wonder how it was that all of those fraud committing bankers in this country got a "get out of jail free" card after his election? Is that any kind of mystery now?
Which banker will give him a cushy job in 2013?
This article sums up Obama's bullshit quite nicely. http://news.yahoo.com/obama-third-chief-staff-first-two-got-rich-132042113.html

Frankenstein Government Officially Turning In Tax Evader, Jon Corzine, My Ship Has Come In!!
Now the U.S. Kleptocracy is asking you to turn in your neighbors for tax violations. Call the I.R.S. They want you to do their police work for them. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903352704576540840395329676.html
This government of ours has completely lost it's mind. I am going to do the "right" thing. I am turning in Jon Corzine. Obama's best friend.
Jon Corzine stole anywhere from 600 million to 1.5 billion dollars from private equity accounts. He delivered that money, at least 200 million, to JP Morgan. He tipped MF Global's pending bankruptcy to the Koch boys so they could get out before he stole everyone else's money. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/07/koch-brothers-database-2012-election
I'll bet he doesn't declare any of this on his 2011 return. I am turning him in early.
I get 30%... WOO FUCKING HOO!!! My ship has come in!!

North Carolina Sterilizes Over 7600 People, Now Admits That Maybe They Were Wrong To Do That
I really want to dig into this story. Find out precisely who authorized human sterilizations or how it was determined whether a person should be sterilized or not.
Land of the free and home of the brave, where all men are created equal with human and reproductive rights, due process- most of the time. Sometimes not.
I think N.C. should pay a hell of a lot more than 50k per sterilization. Really. http://news.yahoo.com/nc-panel-sterilization-victims-50k-154417115.html;_ylt=At7X0Agj2qxSxpFS24GB55n09XQA;_ylu=X3oDMTQzNWJpODhuBG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIFRvcFN0b3JpZXMEcGtnA2VmNTE2ZDIwLTg0ZjctM2Q1Zi1iZThkLWI4YTc1Mzg1YjAyZgRwb3MDNQRzZWMDTWVkaWFTZWN0aW9uTGlzdAR2ZXIDM2YzMWI0ZjAtM2JlNC0xMWUxLWFlZmYtNDllZjhiY2NhNTVi;_ylg=X3oDMTJ2azBlNnNpBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDMjBkZWY5ZDMtMGEyOC0zYjY3LWFhZTgtZTg5ODczOWRmMjJhBHBzdGNhdANoZWFsdGgEcHQDc3RvcnlwYWdlBHRlc3QD;_ylv=3

A "Courageous" Message From Franky
It's tough being retired. I don't have a lot of people to boss around anymore. I have to hire people to boss around.
I took a man hostage this week. His name is Bob. Bob the painter. Since buying my house early last year, I have painted everything but the sidewalk. Bob does the work. Yesterday, sometime after the hideous mint green experiment, I finally found the right color on the third try. Bob has spent the last two days getting rid of harvest gold, and now, mint green. I had to vacate the premises this afternoon. Bob needed some alone time.
A few blocks from my house is a 2nd run movie theater. On Tuesdays, they charge one measly dollar. I had a friend of mine tell me that he "needed" me to see the movie "Courageous." I saw it this afternoon.
People generally don't say things to me like you "need" to see a movie. That seemed very odd to me. I knew it was about cops. So I figured that's what my friend was referring to. I was wrong. That's not what this movie is about. My friend knew this because he knows me well.
The movie got mixed reviews from critics. The movie scored A+ from movie goers who saw it. I give it A+ for the message. Trust the movie goers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinemaScore
This movie stopped me dead in my tracks. I simply wasn't expecting something like this- although I am very familiar with the topography. If you are an absent father, or are the product of an absent father, this movie may make you a little uncomfortable. If you are an atheist, this movie will make you uncomfortable. In the end, this is a feel good movie with a very strong message. The acting isn't fantastic but it makes the point. It's funny and it's a little dramatic. But it's good. They ought to run this movie in every high school. But they won't. Heaven forbid- they mention the word "God."
When this movie was over- nobody left the theater. Really. They watched the credits.
If you get a chance to see this movie, do it. It was the best dollar I spent today. It will make you think.

Frankenstein Government, Never Afraid To Tackle the Tough Question Asks, "Which Bag of Shit Do You Want for President?"
In keeping with all of the other idiocy of today, I stumbled onto Ace of Spades, the "conservative" blog.
There they had another poll about which GOP candidate readers support. They always leave Ron Paul out because Ace has decided he is a kook. And everyone must kiss Ace's ass. After all, it is his blog. http://ace.mu.nu/
Not that serial cheater Gingrich is a kook. Mitt Romney, spoiled rich kid, banker, tell them what they want to hear candidate who believes in golden tablets buried under the hill Gomorrah. He can't be a kook. Rick Santorum, I vote like every other standard politician for statist government. He can't be a kook. I could go on and on. This is the sorriest bunch of GOP windbags seeking nomination that I have ever seen. It is shameful.
I am thinking the GOP once again could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Obama leads a charmed life. He may find that the GOP is the best thing he's got going for him.
There they had another poll about which GOP candidate readers support. They always leave Ron Paul out because Ace has decided he is a kook. And everyone must kiss Ace's ass. After all, it is his blog. http://ace.mu.nu/
Not that serial cheater Gingrich is a kook. Mitt Romney, spoiled rich kid, banker, tell them what they want to hear candidate who believes in golden tablets buried under the hill Gomorrah. He can't be a kook. Rick Santorum, I vote like every other standard politician for statist government. He can't be a kook. I could go on and on. This is the sorriest bunch of GOP windbags seeking nomination that I have ever seen. It is shameful.

Try to Fight Back the Tears, Bring Your Compassionate "A" Game As You Read This
Has someone declared Jan 10th to be national "Idiot Day?"
Here is Michelle Obama, alone and frightened, as she wonders "What will my children do if they have to meet tourists in the White House?" http://news.yahoo.com/michelle-obamas-first-days-first-lady-alone-frightened-002933231--abc-news.html
Alone and frightened? Are you fucking kidding me? Were the Secret Service all watching tv? Tell your daughters to say "hi" Michelle. How's that for advice? I will never, ever, read that book.
Ya know, some days are better than others. Cruising the internet today has been absolutely fascinating. It's a target rich environment this morning, so much idiocy- so little time.

Frankenstein Government, On Sadistic Diet, Manages To Lose Like Three Pounds in 25 Days
Wow, this sucks.
On December 15th, I went on the Atkins diet from hell. Because I am a man I can say this. I am 51.
I endured Christmas and New Years. Not one fucking sugary Santa Claus cookie. No booze or egg nog. Not one slice of bread. Meat and broccoli. Celery. Ya know, all that tasty stuff. Then after watching my family eat like pigs, I came back home. I do an absolute minimum of 3.2 miles a day on treadmills and ellipticals.
As I write this I cannot walk. The pain is almost unbearable. My ankles are both sprained, the ligament in my left knee is knotted, and I think I have a hernia. I am almost completely crippled. I have these Canadian acetaminophen tabs with caffeine and codeine in them. They are wonderful. I am almost out of them. In America, I cannot have them or frosting on my cupcakes because my government knows what is best for me.
To be honest, I have lost 22 pounds in 25 days. It has not been worth it. I am beginning to wonder why I am doing this. It's not like I am getting laid or anything. Here is my advice to everyone. Do not get old or fat. Growing old is not for pussies.
I really miss those Marlboros in the black box. When I finally lose this 50 lbs, sometime in the spring of '16, I might just go get some.
On one of those old, crippled, fat people- scooter thingys.

Transportation and Safety Administration, Tired of Being Picked On, Draws a Hard Line on Cupcakes
Your tax dollars hard at work. You simply cannot make this shit up.
http://news.yahoo.com/tsa-defends-confiscation-mass-womans-cupcake-022436160.html
Years ago, we were working with a cop who wrote somebody a ticket for having mud on his license plates. We ridiculed that poor bastard, who like TSA, defended his shitty judgment. We told him we were all sleeping better knowing that the mud on the license plates guy was not out terrorizing our community, stalking our kids. Eventually, he had the ticket dismissed. Which was how stuff like that was taken care of.
The cupcake bomber. You gotta feel good knowing that woman and her cupcake are not going to be on your next flight.
Surprised they are not x-raying our bladders, making us take a piss before boarding.

Is The Government Running Scared?
I have been noticing more and more unrest among the American people. Not just in personal conversations with people but all over the internet. People are waking up to the fact that we are bankrupt, the economy is never going to turn around, and this crushing debt load is unmanageable. The government's response to that unrest should raise some eyebrows.
Passing and signing the NDAA on New Year's Eve when nobody was looking- was a telltale sign. Anyone it seems can now be called a terrorist and held indefinitely without due process. http://www.aclu.org/blog/tag/NDAA
Government's corporate cronies, the arm that masquerades as mainstream media- hardly reported the single greatest act of tyranny since the days of the King.
Prior to that and ever so quietly, FEMA has announced new bids for camps to detain people in. Again, mainstream media whiffs. This is an excellent piece. http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/01/new_nationwide_fema_camps_should_raise_eyebrows.html
FEMA apparently knew in advance that Congress and the President were going to pass NDAA. FEMA's call for bids pre-dates Obama signing the bill by three weeks. That type of telegraphed intention is scary. It means all of those veto threats and subsequent signing rhetoric by Obama was always bullshit. Not that Obama- intentionally misleading people - is some sort of isolated event. That's how he was elected.
It seems like any unconstitutional or tyrannical act by the Obama administration simply doesn't get reported by the mainstream media. Maybe the media is too embarrassed. Perhaps they have some sense of shame- they should.
This caught my eye this morning.
Not even the rich and elite are sacred anymore. One bank, UBS, was hiding 20 billion dollars for the American elite. Our government, long ago insolvent, is going to try any desperate act they can to pay the bills and keep on spending. It amounts to pissing in the ocean. Here's the government bullying it's away through Switzerland. http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2012/01/09/us-may-take-legal-action-against-swiss-bank-report/
Sadly, nobody except those with swiss bank accounts will care. Maybe those parking money in Lichtenstein. Once the large and low hanging fruit is picked, the IRS will come looking for the rest of us. The police state is here. And that includes the TSA expanding operations everywhere. More coincidence here. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/20/nation/la-na-terror-checkpoints-20111220
Government plans. As it desperately tries to cling to power and relevancy, it will do anything and everything in it's power to retain power and control. That includes covering up every crime from Corzine's 1.2 billion dollar embezzlement to the Fast and Furious scandal which has killed hundreds of people. Two of our agents and hundreds of Mexicans. For some folks, they won't want to believe this. They will remain in a state of denial long after the government confiscates their wealth and property and puts their crazy uncle in one of those FEMA camps. Government wouldn't do that, would it? Those will be the drooling types- claiming conspiracies don't exist.
Scared dogs, scared people, and scared governments do desperate things. They attack when threatened. For some of us- the government's actions are quite predictable.

Molon Labe!
Mo-lone lah-veh.
I don't like the left or the right much. It's an illusion of choice- carefully crafted so that a bunch of sheeple can go on pretending that there is some discern able difference about who runs this abomination of a government. March to the polls. And vote. It's your duty. Blah...blah...blah
The status quo, those in power, always triumph. Nothing changes. Because they don't want it to change. The elite like their wealth and power- just the way that it is.
There are people completely devoted to this "hate the left or hate the right" insanity. They are sheeple, unconscious sheeple that simply have not discovered that they are the problem. I pray they figure it out quicker than I did. I have learned to hate both of these mongrel parties. Hate is appropriate. I intensely dislike what they have done. They have bankrupted and ruined MY country.
My country? Yes. My family fought for our freedom. I paid my dues too. The elite don't pay shit. The two current front runners are both elite. Neither are military. If either of these men were the only thing standing between you and death- you'd be dead. Cowards. Rich little cowards.
And unlike the millions of people who will flock to the polls to pull levers for Obamney or Robama, I won't. I won't participate in ruining my country any further by voting for either of these two elite bastards or their parties. I will not vote for the status quo. They have stolen our wealth and the American dream. It's not coming back.
They are going to try and make us pay that 16 trillion dollar tab they have rung up and I want to say good luck with that plan. I am not going to throw good money after bad. There are millions like me and millions more coming. This game is over.
The next time some "deep thinking" mainstream voter tells you that you are "wasting" your vote by not voting for either of our two parties- tell them this. Voting for either of these parties is destroying our country. We've got about 40 years worth of proof. Where was the win in that?
The solution is in a unified front and a third party. It is either that or a plunge off the cliffs of insanity. I'll tell you how I roll.
About the time somebody in a suit looks at me and says, "your money or your life" I'm gonna have to say something like..Molon Labe! http://thefiringline.com/HCI/molon_labe.html
