FCC Chair Proposes Federal Regulation of Broadcast CONTENT

Is anyone surprised? These statist hypocrites come from the generation that always told us that free speech was "essential", but, as expected, they only like "free speech" shen it advances their favorite kind of statism. If debate and discussion challenge them, they will quickly try to stifle the voices, stop dissent.

Welcome to the world of "change" -- As the Talking Heads said, "Same as it ever was..."

Feds Warrantlessly Tracking Americans' Credit Cards in Real Time

The Fourth Amendment clearly states the no search shall be conducted without a WARRANT issued by a judge, and without probable cause to suspect the target has committed a crime.

If one buys into the "state will protect me from crime" falsehood, then this kind of thing follows...

A Great Piece on FCC's Move To Regulate Internet

As we've said before, the idea that bureaucrats and politicians should begin keeping everyone stuck in the same pool of internet users is not only unconstitutional, it is anti-economic and immoral. We will address in more detail the arguments in favor of so-called "net neutrality" in an upcoming audio program!

Here is the article:

Update! S510 Passage Turned Back Due to Technicality!

So, for the time being, the bureaucrats in the FDA won't have the power to demand massive amounts of paperwork from small farmers, and people will still be able to "lawfully" sell and buy home-grown produce.

Check it out, Strongbad!

FCC Ready to Impose One-Size-Fits-All, Bogus Net "Neutrality" Rule

So as certain customers demand more space and faster speed for their uses -- ya know, like Netflix and others who send very data-rich packages over the web -- EVERYONE will be stuck on the same "one size" lanes of web traffic.

So the next time you're driving on a government highway, and you get stuck behind some dolt driving slow in the fast lane and you have time sucked out of your productivity and your life, just remember, that will be the way the government forces us to operate on the internet. Yes, once more, the politically correct desire to make sure that all are "equal" means the equal sharing of mediocrity and sloth.

Nice. Oh, did we mention that regulation like this is unconstitutional? Has anyone noted that?

Fed Forced to Reveal World-wide Handouts From 2008

As we suspected, the connects, like General Electric, got cash from the gubment for below market rates, and many have not paid back.

What a surprise. And with the news that the US is "ready" to "bailout" the EU, this just seems like old news doesn't it? Yeah, we should juuuuuuust forget alllllll about it and go back to sleep.

Nighty-nite.

US, Thru IMF, Ready to "Bailout" EU

So the gubment and central bank system can take your cash and the cash of your kids and grandkids to send it to other gubments and their central banks, but if you want to carry more than $10,000 overseas, the gubment can stop you.

Strange, isn't it?

S 510 - Giving FDA MASSIVE POWERS, Likely to Pass Tues

This is unsettling. Not only is it another example of the federal gubment over-stepping its constitutionally prescribed powers (through a broad and unjustified enterpretation of the interstate commerce clause), it will have the effect of allowing the FDA to force small farmers and home growers to have to fill out reams of paperwork regarding their food growing, harvesting, storage and shipping. It will also put at risk many folks who use seeds not "approved" by the Feds. The FDA would be given broad powers to sht down food sales anywhere. ANYWHERE.

Nice, huh?

SUMBIT, the federal government is here to protect you from liberty!

Pittsburgh TSA Screener Speaks Out Against Scans and Pat-Downs

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.
