FLA Troopers Break Law Themselves, Don't Acknowledge Bill O' Rights

Certain members of the FLA Highway Patrol are not only clueless about the 1st and 4th Amendments, they break the very laws about cell phone use at gas stations that the police are supposed to uphold.

Cute.

SWAT Team Invades Home FOR STUDENT LOAN DEFAULTS

We knew this would be coming. This was done to set an example, because the feds know there are going to be thousands, if not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, who are going to default on their student loans. The feds are trying to intimidate those who would consider defaulting. But that's okay. No warrant was issued to the man and the existence of federal student loans is unconstitutional, but none of that really matters. Anthony Weiner is in the news, and people can talk about that, right?!

Elderly Woman Scanned and Groped, Interviewed at Airport

Check out this video. Not a bad job by the lady recording. Just wish she had mentioned the 4th amendment, and addressed a claim by a man that he thought they should just do profiling. She needed to mention that the very PRESENCE of the feds in the airports is unconstitutional...

SCOTUS Issues BAD Ruling Re Hiring of "Illegal Immigrants"

So here's the deal. There's this Pennsylvania law that lets the state prohibit and issue fines for private companies hiring people who have been deemed "illegal immigrants" by the federal government.

This is, of course, a violation of the US Constitution's CONTRACT CLAUSE, which prohibits states from passing "any law impairing the obligation of contracts."  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_Clause) States are not supposed to be able to interfere in private commerce. Simple, isn't it?

Man Detained for Video Recording Baltimore Rail

Despite the fact that there is no statute making it a crime, he is approached by police and told to stop. When he does not, they shift over to the wiretap law, to tell him they have not given him permission to record their voices. Of course, he was alone, and THEY APPROACHED him, knowing that he was recording, so their permission was implicit.

The wiretap law is being used more and more to try to prevent people from recording police engaging in erroneous and nefarious activity. It has nothing to do with wiretapping and everything to do with preventing the public from seeing cops at their worst.

The man recording things, although at times intimidated, held his ground, and was smart about how he handled the cops. They detained him without charge.

Feds Want Mandatory Black Boxes on Cars

Yeah, not only unconstitutional, but the boxes can record all places you've traveled, through gps tech, if the feds order it installed.

Big Brother's got an "electric eye", as Judas Priest might have said.

Sen Reid Likens Sen Rand Paul to Aid to Terrorists

Why?

 

Because Rand Paul opposes the reinstatement of the so-called "Partiot Act".

Seems to us that Reid is the criminal.

Secret Service Interrogates 13 Yr Old W/O Parental Presence

Yeah, perhaps the mom is learning that having one's money taken away without choice and tossed into a government school system where her kids are propagandized and she has very little say over what happens inside -- perhaps she's learning that this is a system where this kind of thing can happen any time, done by school officials or feds or state bureaucrats, and she will be able to do NOTHING.

Welcome to the "Village". Enjoy the "common good", dear.

Feds Sue Starbucks for Firing Someone Small

In some eyes, the action of Starbucks firing a dwarf will be seen as the "Big Guy" literally harming the "Little Guy". But what is really at stake here is the principle of private ownership and control of one's property, private contract without interference from politicians,  business responsiveness to consumers and employees, and competiveness.

Then there is the US Constitution. It does not give Congress the power to pass bills that interfere with how people operate their private businesses, how they engage in private contract, or how consumers freely choose where to do business. It also PROHIBITS state governments from interfering in private contract.

Scientists Doubt TSA on Tests of Scan Radiation

This is added to the already criminal activity of the searches themselves, the presense of the TSA in airports and the very existence of it at all.

TSA Screener Charged w/Distributing Child Porn

And, don't forget, the porn screeners they are installing in the airports, and which have made former Homeland "Security" Tsar Mikey Chertoff VERY rich, allow for the storage and transport of the images they take.

Remember, the paradigm of federal involvement in airport security and air traffic control is unconstitutional. It would better address customer interests if we had a market system and no government involvement.

Check our audio library for the history of how the federal gubment got involved in air transport fascism.

Here's the article!

TSA Targets Complainers? NO WAY!

Funny how easily Americans forget that Fourth Amendment requirement that all searches will be conducted only after a warrant issued by a judge, based on just cause .

 

And remember, as we have spelled out in out Audios (see links on left side of home page for our audio library), the feds don't even have a Constitutional justification to be in these private or municipal airports. But hey, since the TSA has been totally ineffectual in stopping EVEN ONE TERRORIST, perhaps they get a sense of achievement in trampling on our rights.

Linkola!

Chicago School BANS HOME-MADE LUNCHES

So it comes to this. The "war on obesity" meets the education state. At what point do people wake up and realize that getting gubment involved with education is a huge mistake? When will they look at the history of government-run education in the US and see that it has been an utter failure, even as more money and power is given to it?

To the kids in this (possibly more than this single one) school: Good luck. Fight back in creative ways. Sabotage the system from inside. Play pranks on the principal. Do anything peaceful and funny to show them how insane they are. You might not win, but at least you'll get the satisfaction of pushing back.

Obama Admin Threatens VETO to Sustain Fascistic Net-Regs

What's interesting about this move is two-fold. First, it is the FCC that imposed these regulations, which are unconstitutional not only in that it is an extra-Congressional body doing it, but also in that Congress doesn't even have the power to regulate the net! So, you have an unconstitutional regulatory agency establishing unconstitutional rules to force ISPs and internet providers to have to conform to federal rules rather than market rules, then a number of Congressman feel that they are forced to have to pass a law to stop it. They pass the law (remember, a LAW to stop a REGULATION) and then the Prez threatens to VETO the law in order to keep the REGULATION in place!
