Tales from the Conspiracy

Great little example of "tragedy of the commons" near home

This story was on the front page of our local small town paper today.  I was a projectionist at this little theater when I was in college.  I thought I would share it because it seems to contain all the little golden lessons about the nature of man and government on a small and personal scale.  We get all fired up about the Big Dog gubment in Washington, but the dynamics are the same right at home.  The petty absurdities are incredible.  This is what happens when it's admitted into the common conciousness that there is such a thing as "public property", a type of property that cannot exist without being forcibly taken and maintained through rights violations, is "owned" by everyone, yet by no one, controlled by a few, and results in a pronouced lack of accountab

More ways terrorists are getting stuff past the TSA.

Alright, it's 1 in the morning, so Imma finish up Wheels off Liberty and go to sleep. 'night all.

 

Assange rape accuser goes to Middle East. Possibly stopped cooperating with police.

Now she's whining on Twitter about the way she's been treated. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. An international scandal is a good way to bring attention to yourself.

Comment by 12 year old lamenting closure of local community center prompts "anti-terror squad".

You know, my last job was relatively easy. And, since I was good at it, I didn't have to leave my desk too much. When I found myself with nothing to do at work, I'd stream South Park on my PC and do homework. But, apparently, the police in Oxfordshire, England have nothing better to do than threaten children with the anti-terror squad and others for using their freedom to assemble and speech.

I heard Gard once say that the definition of what a terrorist is always seems to be changing. When a 12 year old child, who quite literally did nothing wrong, is cause for the anti-terror squad, yea, the definition of terrorist has definately changed.

THE POLICE ARE NOW BEATING UP THE DISABLED!!!

I might not of necessarily agreed with the student protests there have been but I will always defend somebody’s right to protest & it seemed to me that with the student protests there were agent provocateurs who stirred up things up into a frenzy, which of course gave the police every excuse. Not sure though that the police had every excuse to drag a disabled man from his wheelchair, I mean what threat to public order is a man in a wheelchair protesting?

Political Reactions To Having A Sex Change

I thought I’d share the political perspectives I’ve received from coming out of closet about being a transsexual.

You’d think that both liberals & libertarians would be understanding if not supportive as both support individual liberty, however that’s not exactly case as I’ve found out.

Lefties seem to think that I should get government permission before I did anything, which kind of stinks because it means they don’t seem to think I own my own body, but I kind of expected that to be the case. Most lefties I know do support diversity etc, but they do get hung up on concern on what individuals do with their own body.

Virginia judge declares Obamacare unconstitutional.

It's worth pointing out that there is tons out there that is unconstitutional, but I'm very glad someone woke up on this one.

 

Something like 20 other states are also suing the Obama Administration, so let's hope this is a first of 20. :)

Taxes on small businesses.

*Beware- Bee in bonnett*

This morning, I stopped by my new employers office to gather some information that I'll need for my first day on Friday. While I was waiting to see my supervisor, I noticed this on the wall.  A license for a security alarm for a private business.

 

Video of Metrodome collapse from inside stadium.

For those who don't know, the Metrodome roof collapsed under the weight of 17 inches of snow this morning. There were cameras going inside when it happened. Whoa.

BTW, Spooner, this is an example of why I can go without snow. lol

Mark Madoff (son of Bernie) committs suicide. Possible bullying?

http://blogs.forbes.com/carolinehoward/2010/12/12/mark-madoff-suicide-bu...

 

"Mark Madoff, along with his brother Andrew, was never criminally charged, said he never knew of their father's crimes, was not facing imminent arrest and hadn't spoken to investigators in over a year. The brothers were, however, still under investigation and named in multiple lawsuits accusing them of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and profiting from the scheme to the tune of millions.

Terry Jones Could Be Banned From Entering The UK

Not the former Monty Python member but the pastor who threatened to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11

Kind of self defeating if you ask me

Am I the only one who doesn’t find Xmas joyful?

I’m wondering if I’m just a miserable fucker or are there other individuals who aren’t getting any joy from Xmas?

Mayor Bloomberg and New York Organ Donor Network launch innovative organ preservation program
Pilot program seeks to honor the wishes of organ donors and save lives

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and the New York Organ Donation Network today announced the launch of a new pilot program to honor the wishes of registered organ donors and help save lives. Nearly 8,000 people in New York City are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, yet the United States does not have a procedure in place to recover organs from locations outside of hospitals.

The Government Minister, The Snow & My Friend Shovel

I have to tell this story which happened last week.

I was due to attend a meeting with a government minister last Friday but last Friday there was heavy snow across Britain particularly in Surrey where I live.

Now this particular government minister also happens to be a member of parliament for the neighbouring constituency to where I live & where this meeting was due to be held. This guy didn’t have far to travel but cancelled a couple of hours before because he claimed he was snowed in.

Now my friend Shovel lives north of London near to St Albans & coming down here is always at least an hour & a half trek when it ain’t snowing. Whilst Chris Grayling MP claimed he couldn’t get out of his driveway, my friend Shovel managed to get here from St Albans.

The case of Russell Reid

I was going to do a podcast with Gard about a doctor I knew who helped hundreds if not thousands of people but due to the professional eny who worked in the NHS he was conspired against.

the following article touches upon the case & its a shame Gard & I haven't managed to pod about this case.
