S 510 "Food Safety Modernization Act" Could Get Final Vote Next Week
We'll discuss this on an upcoming audio. It's a very pernicious bill -- just like most of the bills these jerks propose and pass.
It would give teh FDA (an unconstitutional agency) sweeping power to regulate small farms and individual growers in their own fields or plots of land. I twold force individual growers and members of Farmers' markets to have to file federal safety paperwork. It would makd it potentially illegal to hold seeds for personal use, it would allow the FDA to send "inspectors" to your home to check on your garden, and woudl allow the FDA to stop sales of your products, without any kind of hearing or trial. Check out these sites for information on the bill and then contact the Seantors from your state to tell them to stuff this bill up their corn-holes.

Strange! That Bogus "Bomb" in Germany Was Built in US, Sold to Gubment.
How odd that juuuust before a planned protest of TSA thuggery, there should be a bogus bomb built by a US firm and sold to the US government (among other government clients) that appears in Germany and causes "hightened alerts" in Germany and the US!

TSA Thugs Cry over "Dirty" Passengers...
A fun way to mess with them would be to wear intentionally soiled pants, with a change of pants in your pack. Dirty the pants with rotten meat in the pockets, old eggs, smears of stinky old milk... and then, when the TSA thugs grope you, keep leaning into their faces, letting them have plenty to smell.... Mmm-M! Soup is Good Food!
Here's the whining of the TSA:

Incredibly Authoritarian Aspects of Fed Medical Law Begin
If you can wade through the nonsense of the first five or six paragraphs of this piece, check out the meat of what the new regulations do to health insurance companies. The law stipulates that 85% of all PRIVATE insurance company profits be dedicated to certain business activities rather than advertising or profit. This is a shocking part of an already disgusting law, an aspect that truly shows the face of this authoritarian move by the feds. Your insurance bills are going to skyrocket.

Al Gore Finally Admits: Ethanol Subsidies Are Dumb - How Many Years Late is He?
Even as he says this, Congress is pushing another $5 Billion in Ethanol subsidies... RIGHT NOW.
How many years have we been saying Ethanol is a net energy LOSER due to the amount of energy it requires to sow and reap the corn and then distill the corn oil?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/gore-admits-he-was-wrong-about-ethanol-s...
He's finally admitting, "the energy conversion ratios are very small..." We talked about this in 2005. We talked about how the push by the gubment to buy more ethanol and to force more of it into our gas pushes the price of corn, and all products tied to corn (such as beef and pork and foodstuffs sweetened with corn sweetener) up, up, up!
Duh. Is that the correct word?

Flagstaff, Arizona, School System to WEIGH Kids and Send Report
Hey, hey, hey!

Yeah, that nutty thing called 'privacy' doesn't exist for kids in public schools, does it? But it's IMPORTANT for gubment to weigh kids, because eventually, WE ALL PAY, right?
It's the encroachment of gubment into more and more private affairs. Busybodies love government.

Are Congressmen Exempt from TSA Scans/Gropes? Looks Like it!
Those who've heard our audio featuring Ron Paul know he asked that Congressmen try going through the scans and gropes so they would know what it was like. All indications are that the politicians don't have to live like we plebians do, under their thumbs.

TSA: "Submit, or We Will Keep You Here and Arrest/Fine You"
Here's an idea. What if liberty-minded people all around the US apply for jobs with and begin working for the TSA as screeners. Then, on a chosen day as they begin their jobs, all of them stop, and tell the travelers that they are not going to force people to do the scans, that the passengers have rights that cannot be infringed by the federal government, and they also inform the passengers that if they had been terrorists, they could have easily coordinated with passengers to let them through with weapons or explosives. It only takes some creative thinking (which, evidently the government folks don't have) to figure out ways to get explosives onto planes if people are really dedicated to doing so.

As Expected, Pilots Get Pass on TSA Gropes/Scans
Now YOU try it and see if YOU get a pass...
The safety of air travel should be left up to those making their professions in the field, their insurers, and those wishing to do business with them, not politicians, bureaucrats, and unionized employees.
It's called, um... Freedom.
