In exercizing their "warrants" to get cell info from the towers themselves, the cops gather cell records from all the people who used the tower for a specific period, clearly violating the 4th Amendment.

Nothing like that first amendment. The folks at InfoWars have been doing great work exposing many of the unconstitutional activities of the federal and state governments. Last night, they encountered a Dallas police official who told them that there was a "local ordinance" prohibiting the handing out of fliers to people in cars and banning the holding of signs within 75 feet of a highway or access road. Again, nothing like that first amendment.

Today, dozens of cops appeared in Dallas to push, punch, and shove peaceful protesters away from the site of the kennedy murder, offering no reason -- as the prosters asked for reasons and tried to speak to them.

Leviathan. That term employed by Thomsa Hobbes in his political treatise of the same name, and used since that time to describe the generic State.

Many people overlook the insidiousness of local zoning and "regulatory" laws, but there are thousands of them infringing upon individual liberty and property rights. Here is a good example, from FLA...

Although this leaves some space for the product to be closer to what the market demands, the move does not counter the spurious claim that the federal gubment has any appropriate power granted to it to regulate oil or gasoline products in any way. Without questioning that notion, more regulation will follow. Just look at how the Bio-fuels (ie corn) lobbyists respond to this small move by the EPA, as if they have a RIGHT to be in the product the oil refiners/gas companies make.

This is yet another example of the unconstitutional activity of the US government, and if people think it is okay to "monitor" foreigners without warrants, they need to explain where the provisions and prohibitions for the gubment that are written in the US Constitution do NOT apply when dealing with foreigners. It doesn't matter if the person being surveilled is a foreigner, such surveillance without warrants is not a power granted the US gubment in ALL cases.

Good reporting by this local TV station.

Too many people accept the fraudulent idea that others have claims on their neighbors. We have to spread the word about the primacy of the individual to decide for himself how he will live his life and what he will do with the fruits of his labor.

File this in the "anyone who understands economics and government regulations applied to businesses told you so years ago" department.

The pop media has a lot to answer for on this. It's simple logic. Mandates mean higher prices and a decrease in those covered. It has happened everywhere such regulations have been applied to businesses.

Not all libertarians think this is a "good" idea. In a world of government-run roads, it might help reduce the problem of charging people don't use the roads (via general taxation), but it invades privacy and does not address the fundamental issue: the gubment has no place running, building or supposedly "keeping up" (poorly so) roads.

If the roads were run privately (as thousands of miles of roads were in the US), the choices coul dbe made voluntarily, and differing degrees and combinations of privacy and ease coul dbe achieved. Not so with gubment. It's one size fits all, and force. Simple as that.

Note Feinstein's deflection. First of all, the meta-data is not all that is collected. The Prism program goes further than that, and so do the secret warrants issued by the so-called "FiISA Court". Second, the Supreme Court decision to which she refers is a mighty stretch from the concept of privacy that is supposed to be protected by the 4th Amendment.

If police were to enter any random house, not knowing who lived there, to search for contraband, it would be an infringement of the 4th Amendment. That analogy is akin to the NSA collecting so-called "anonymous" meta-data...

Check out the piece. Ed Snowden continues to do good work.

And it's about time. Libertarians have been trying to warn people about this for years. The government/Fed control of the money supply is a big mistake. Currency should be allowed to be a competitive market, with private banks issuing redemption slips for stores of gold or other valuables, and competing with each other. If government, or a government-granted monopoly like the Fed, controls the issuance of the currency people use to trade, it will inflate the supply of the currency, destroying the buying power of it, and making it worth less and less over time.

This is why two years ago, the Chinese gubment dumped over 90% of its US bonds. They knew that if they kept them to term, the return would be in less valuable Fed reserve Notes.
