| We, the people - will either get smarter and more creative... Posted: 18 Jul 2013 03:30 AM PDT Or we shall become slaves and parish. As our government daily becomes more intrusive in our lives, as we are all but literally stalked - there has to come a time when We, the people say ENOUGH! Can you imagine what the Germans or Soviets would have "accomplished" had they the technology we have today? There is a very small town in Colorado saying enough! They are thinking and taking action. From HelpTheSheeple - Colorado Town Considers Licensing Bounty Hunters to Shoot Down Drones The tiny town of Deer Trail, Colo. -- barely more than a wide spot on Interstate 70 about 55 miles east of Denver, population 546 -- is considering an ordinance that would authorize licensed bounty hunters to shoot down unmanned aircraft violating its "sovereign airspace." A six-page petition circulated by a resident says that the threat of surveillance from drones -- regardless of who is piloting them -- is a threat to "traditional American ideas of Liberty and Freedom" enjoyed by Deer Trail's "ranchers, farmers, cowboys and Indians, as well as contemporary citizens." Therefore, drone incursions are to be seen as acts of war. According to the proposed ordinance, which will be considered by the town council at its next meeting on Aug. 6, prospective bounty hunters can get a one-year drone-hunting license for $25. Continue reading HERE. I don't see this as having any chance of getting off the ground (no pun intended) as Eric or Janet will dispatch their henchmen to Dear Trail the minute this story gets any traction. They will either say it is illegal or Hussein Obama will do a Friday night executive order signing to make sure it can't be done. But you never know. Perhaps a few of these (used in the hunt for Christopher Dorner) will end up stuffed and mounted on the walls! 
There are other ways to combat this intrusion by drone too. Seattle grounded it's police force drone program. The point is - We, the people, must say ENOUGH! Good hunting Dear Trail. I like your style!
| | Expendable Serfs and TREASON Posted: 18 Jul 2013 01:10 AM PDT The sooner we "get" that we are seen as expendable serfs by a few whose singular goal is dominance and control of their fellow man, the better off we will be. Not happier by any stretch of the imagination, but hopefully better prepared to stand our ground. From Battlefield USA - No! It's not true! - Unraveling the world's secret societies Nothing in politics happens by accident, so the saying goes and is absolutely true. Our constitutional republic has been under attack for more than a century by individuals who desire to rule the world. You and I are merely underlings who provide massive power and riches to them through the ballot box and our consumer dollars. Unraveling all the organizations that yank the strings of American politics can be daunting. In 2005, I penned two important pieces for WND: "The treasonous Council on Foreign Relations" and "The treasonous Trilateral Commission." Nothing has changed. Those two organizations are not some harmless think tanks. If you go to the CFR's history page, nuggets of the truth are right there for everyone to see. Elihu Root headed the original CFR. The Rothschilds and Wall Street were instrumental in financing the Bolshevik Revolution. Root was the bag man to deliver $20 million to the Bolsheviks who were founded by mass murderer Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov. Continue HERE. 
| | Republicans Get Filibusted: Democrats end the 60-vote Senate rule for presidential nominees Posted: 17 Jul 2013 05:49 PM PDT Be still my heart, Harry Reid would have the audacity of changing 100 year old senate rule to favor the party of the Democrats? 
The filibuster was put in place , though not written into the U.S. Constitution to uphold the rights of the minority as is called for in said document. We are after all a Constitutionally driven Republic, not a democracy as the left and the media would lead us to believe. Say it ain't so Harry, say it ain't so. Look for more woeful appointments to follow. Thought it couldn't get any worse? Don't hold your breath.  The obstreperous, recalcitrant Harry Reid, Majority leader of the Senate.

Via The Wall Street Journal Op-Ed: Republicans Get Filibusted
Senate Majority Leader Rich Trumka, er, Harry Reid held a gun to the head of Republicans on the filibuster, Republicans blinked, and President Obama and the AFL-CIO will now get their nominees confirmed for the cabinet and especially a legal quorum for the National Labor Relations Board. Cut through all the procedural blather and that's the essence of the Senate's "deal" Tuesday over the 60-vote filibuster rule. While Democrats didn't formally pull the trigger of the "nuclear option" to allow a mere majority vote to confirm nominees, they have now established a de facto majority-vote rule. Any time Democrats want to do so, they can threaten to pull the majority trigger. Republicans might as well acknowledge this new reality, even if it means admitting defeat in this round. GOP Senators should state clearly for the record that the next time there is a GOP President and a Democratic Senate minority wants to block an appointment with a filibuster, fuhgedaboutit. Majority rule will prevail. Otherwise Republicans will be conceding that the filibuster remains the rule -- except when Democrats say it isn't. Democrats would be able to use the filibuster to block confirmation of GOP nominees the way they did John Bolton for U.N. Ambassador during the Bush Presidency, but Republicans couldn't return the favor. Bottom line: This week Democrats killed the filibuster against executive-branch appointees when the same party holds the White House and Senate. They did so, moreover, to serve AFL-CIO chief Trumka, who all but ordered Mr. Reid to threaten the nuclear option. Big Labor desperately wants a quorum of at least three National Labor Relations Board nominees to keep issuing pro-union orders that have become the NLRB's standard operating procedure in the Obama years. Today there are only three board members and Chairman Mark Pearce is set to resign on August 27. Under Tuesday's Senate deal, the Obama Administration will agree to withdraw the nominations of the two NLRB board members whom Mr. Obama first appointed in January 2012 as recess appointments though the Senate wasn't in recess. The President will then nominate two new pro-union board members, whom Republicans won't filibuster, as well as two GOP nominees. Mr. Trumka gets his new legal quorum. Continue reading here.

| | Where were the riots when the races were reversed in a Zimmerman-like case Posted: 17 Jul 2013 11:31 AM PDT Once again, where were the riots in a Zimmerman-like case when the shooter was Black and the victim was white? You guessed it ... there were none. No riots whatsoever, and no cries from Eric 'race-baiter' Holder for a civil rights prosecution! The kids were caught in the act of breaking into cars and had the drug/alcohol thing, so Scott had that going for him. On the other hand, Scott "had the build of a football player", was never actually struck by any of the teens, and managed to shoot the dead boy twice, once in the back. Oops. Unlike Zimmerman, Scott was promptly arrested. Like Zimmerman, he was eventually acquitted by a jury that apparently felt his self-defense argument created reasonable doubt. | | Rasmussen Survey on the George Zimmerman Trial Posted: 17 Jul 2013 11:20 AM PDT Reactions to the jury decision in the shooting of Trayvon Martin vary sharply along racial lines: On Saturday, a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of murder in the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. Do you agree or disagree with the jury's verdict? - Agree 48%
- Disagree 34%
- Not sure 18%
National survey of 1,000 adults was conducted July 15-16, 2013. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Hat tip - The Argos Journal | | When those with history advise, it behooves us to at least listen! Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:14 AM PDT Damn the hour glass! H/T Battlefield USA - from Western Rifle Shooters Association - "We have good cause to abhor the surveillance state..." Ah, German hypocrisy! During the cold war, you marched waving "Ami, Go Home" placards, but still let us protect you against the Soviets. Now you moan self-righteously about the National Security Agency and GCHQ reading your emails and listening to your mobile phone. You don't acknowledge that - unlike the US or the UK - you have had no domestic terror attack in the past 10 years. That's because we gave you information to prevent them; guess where we got it? Anyway, your Federal Intelligence Service snoops as much as it can. Except it can't do that much. Whereas we - oh yes, we scan! Could it be that you're jealous? That about sums up the American and British response to the uproar about alleged US and UK spying activities in Germany revealed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden. Sorry, friends: things are not that simple. This topic touches on historical sensitivities here. Our grandparents' generation feared the early-morning knock of the Gestapo. During the cold war, West and East Germans alike were aware that their divided country was crawling with spooks of all denominations. We recognised that mutually assured espionage helped prop up the bipolar balance of power. (It also made for some superb spy thrillers.) Still, no one misses the sombre paranoia, reinforced in and after the 1970s by the ramping up of West Germany's domestic intelligence services in response to homegrown terrorism. Germans who were born east of the Berlin Wall were careful to give the organs of the Staatssicherheit a wide berth. But it was only after the fall of the Wall in 1989, when the citizens who had brought down their government stormed the secret police's headquarters and realised the full horror of the web woven by the Stasi: neighbours spying on neighbours; husbands spying on wives. Joachim Gauck, our current president, was the first head of the Stasi Archives, the government agency that, 20 years on, continues to painstakingly piece together a full record of East Germany's surveillance of its citizens. Yes, we Germans have better cause than many of our allies to abhor the secret state. It's why we don't like closed-circuit television cameras. It's also why our constitutional court enshrined a fundamental right of data privacy, and declared it illegal for Germany to implement an EU directive on preventive data storage. That said, we understand that our liberal societies have enemies - and we need some surveillance to protect ourselves and preserve our way of life. We remember that some of the September 11 attackers were based in Hamburg. Like you, we've done a lot since then to improve our domestic intelligence capabilities. We haven't heard many complaints about our ability to co-operate, whether in Europe or in Afghanistan. And, fair enough, this story has become fodder for an opposition desperate to unseat a seemingly unbeatable chancellor. Rattled at first, Angela Merkel snapped: "Friends don't treat each other like this." Now, with her standing in the polls unharmed, Ms Merkel is calling for an EU-wide data privacy initiative. The truth of Mr Snowden's allegations has yet to be proved; they remain disturbing. Germany a target on the level of Iraq and Afghanistan? 500m intercepts a month? Embassies and EU representations bugged? You could try harder to dispel our misgivings. For all we know, no abuse of power was involved. But it is surely clear the intelligence services wield an excess of power. And, as we know, "power corrupts; and absolute power corrupts absolutely". It is not always easy to understand where our British friends draw the line between freedom and security. But it was Barack Obama who vowed on May 23 to end the war on terror, quoting James Madison: "No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of perpetual warfare." Tell us about it. The phrase "perpetual warfare" reminds Germans that the most influential theorist of war without end - and of an untrammelled executive - was Carl Schmitt, Hitler's lawyer-in-chief. It's time for all of us to turn back the tide of executive power. |  |
