Hey, FORMER Senatore Gregg, how's that TARP doing for ya?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/28/AR2010122803649.html
Oh, and 98 more of the TRAP, uh, we mean TARP recipient banks are on the verve of insolvency, Juddy; thought you'd like to know.

Janet Napolitano: "A Real Piece of Work"
If you've listened to our 12-22-10 and 12-24-10 programs, you know about some of this. And you can compare her claims to the actual audio of things like the ABC interview with the "Big Three" Security bozos.
Wouldn't it be nice to invite Ms. Homeland Tsarista to a public debate about the Constitutionality of the department and the TSA?
Yeah, it sure would.

EPA Moves Unilaterally To Push for More Energy Restrictions and Expenses
Despite the fact that the sham they now call "Climate Change" used to be called anthropogenic "Global Warming" until some scientists began to explode the myth, these bureaucrats are scrambling to impose more costs on those who provide energy to us, with no real change for cleaner air, and with not even a nod to the Constitution.
Check out this piece, if you can stand the back-and-forth way the author keeps bouncing away from the main topic to talk about others. Ugh!

ICE Agents Accused of Tasing/Beating Man to Death
And how many "Constitutional Conservatives" are aware that the determination of who can be on the soil of a state is, according to the US Constitution, up to the STATES?
That's okay, we should just follow their lead and federalize everything, create one massive police state, prohibit employers from hiring whom they want, invade their workplaces, require work papers for all Americans, require ID papers at unannounced federal stops anywhere the feds please and fine or imprison people for hiring "illegals".
Nothing like the land of the free...

Sacramento-area Pilot's Home Invaded by Angry TSA Agents
Yeah, lots of questions on this one, like um... Fourth Amendment, Due Process, fascism, false claims of "security provided by YOUR TSA" and the one we've been asking all along: Can ANYONE in the pop media speak out against the false paradigm of federal regulation of air routes and airlines? Anyone?
The only people to do this very important task on major network TV have been Judge Andrew Napolitano and John Stossell.
It's up to the rest of us in the Conspriacy (linked here or through other libertarian sites) to spread the word.
Here's the link:

Austin, Woman ARRESTED, Banned from Airport, for Refusing Pat-Down
This 56 year old woman has a heart device and is a rape victim. But hey, better to destroy her due process rights and her rights that are protected under the 4th Amendement, right?

Happy Travels! Remember, you have that supposed "option" and the law is the law.
As one woman said, "for our protection, I don't have a problem with it."
Do you think the TSA will release the video of this event?

Missoula Jury Nullifies Pot Prosecution
But it's all done PRIOR to the actual trial, so instead of the defendant getting off completely, the prosecutor goes and works out a plea deal.
At least it's progress! Perhaps more jurors in victimless crime trials will follow this example!

US Atty Gen: "American Citizens = Possible Terrorists" + "We'll do whatever we need to..."
Including entrapment, illegal wiretapping, unconstitutional monitoring of money transfers, and, of course, continuing to inspire more and more terrorists by using the US military to kill civilians abroad in an unconstitutional military action.
But remember, it's the American citizens who somehow "become radicalized"... Why would that suddnely happen? Strange, huh?

Looks Like the Feds Are Cooking Up More Food Fears - Just In Time for SB 510 to Mega-Empower the FDA
This looks like another false flag put out at juuuuuust the same time that the feds will be voting ot give the FDA sweeping powers over food. s510 passed a few weeks ago, but was turned back on a technicality. Now, they're trying to push for the same regs all over again.
Great comments beneath the article. And note: Even if there IS a plot to poison foods, who best can handle it, one centralized bureaucracy for an ENTIRE nation, or the people on hand, working in the free market. AND, what could EVER inspire people to want ot KILL American civilians?
They hate the "debased American culture"? Funny, the murderers of 911 went ot strip clubs the night before the attacks. Guess they didn't mind American culture too much, did they?
FCC Heading for its "Net Neutrality" Nirvana - At the Expense of Freedom and Innovation
And it seems that certain vested interests in the telecom industry have agreed to back the new rules, because they get special favors to help exclude copetition.

Great Piece from Stephen Smith on Estate Tax...
Take a look at this piece Stephen wrote over a year ago, when the move to tax estates was slightly different. It's an excellently written piece that holds in it some keen insight and criticism of those who push taxing estates. The principles still apply!

WSJ Gets it Right on Bogus "Net Neutrality" Mandates
Why has it been so difficult for pop media outlets to understand that the imposition of political mandates on market structures will inhibit their growth, innovation and price decreases over time thanks to productivity gains?

UK Facing Heating Oil Distribution Problems Due to Snow, Potential Shortage
But the UK gubment still will not entirely lift all the restrictions it has on the number of hours that truckers (sorry, "Lorrie Drivers") can drive to deliver the product. Nothing like increasing hassles and costs during a time when the UK guvernment already taxes oil and oil products like crazy and the UK is seeing incredibly cold weather.
What was that idea Adam Smith had? The invisible hand? Hmmmmmm............ Perhaps the Uk politicians ought to break out "Wealth of Nations". Be sure to watch the vid in this one!

Feds Want Ban on cell Phones for Truckers
Let's compare the private individuals the feds want to coerce to the government agents. Those police officers who have to make calls and look up license plate numbers on computers while they're moving... Maybe they should be required to bring their cars to complete stops when using anything that might take their eyes off the roads.
And god forbid someone actually turn on his radio or glance at scenery.
UN Members Want International Internet Control
Gee, who would have EVER expected a bunch of statists to propose a world-wide system of control over the greatest means of free expression since moveable type?

ABC News Uncovers: TSA STILL Overlooking Lots of Weapons
No kidding! This is just like a report that Brian Ross' team did TWO years ago. Nothing's changed. Would you like to hire a BETTER group to provide security, perhaps one that didn't have to abide by all the federal bureaucratic nonsense? Sorry, no can do. You get either the TSA or one of five companies the FEDS will let you approach. No such thing as a competitive marketplace for airline security, despite the fact that what is happening is a PRIVATE transaction between you and the airline and the federal government is not constitutionally sanctioned to be involved.

Food Prices Rise Sharply... Nooo. REALLY?!
As we like to stress to statists who have no clue about the causes of inflation or how the gubment tries to hide price increases in the CPI by removing food and fuel prices from the calculations, the increase in the MONEY SUPPLY is the inflation, causing a decrease in teh buying power of each unit of money as that liquidity moves through the system from the large banks to the little guy trying to keep his job. Once the little guy recognizes that prices are wayyyy up for things (oh, like, un... FOOD) he will begin to cut back on his spending, causing sellers to be stuck with new inventory they bought on the expectation of more sales. This leads to cut-backs in employment and orders for more goods, which causes more job loss systemically.
Huge Budget/Spending Bill Stopped in DC
Yep. The move by the Dems in DC to try to pass ANOTHER spending bill before many have to vacate their offices? It failed. So now we only have the 3.5 TRILLION or more that's been wasted since the last year of Bush AND all the other waste in the first three years and then there's Clinton, and then...
Nothing like having the freedom to choose what to do with your own earnings and make decisions based on your own morals, huh?
