A Roll Call of state slaughter….
….and the grisly, confirming evidence:
Is this what’s meant by “smaller government?”
Where would we be without the state on the lookout for terrorist jellyfish?
Not only do politi-gangsters see walls as solutions to numerous problems, they also seem to revere them:
What Neocon or state apologist could not be moved by this sight- the red, white, and blue; the stars, stripes, and barb wire?
Don’t say you weren’t warned. Asking honest, logical questions, directed at the state, can get you a kick in the teeth:
Taking the John-John bad boys behind the woodshed? We can only dream:

This latest news on the Transportation Security Administration’s valiant efforts to keep us all safe and protected from the Islamo-Fascist Terror Menace comes to us by way of Manuel Lora at Lew Rockwell’s blog:
For arguing with a TSA agent, Robin Kassner wound up being slammed to the floor. She’s filed a lawsuit.
“I kept begging them over and over again get off of me…and they wouldn’t stop,” Kassner said.
And it wasn’t enough for another woman to show TSA agents nipple rings that set off a metal detector. The agents forced her to take them out.
Mandi Hamlin said, “I had to get pliers and pull it apart.”
In Chicago, people like Robert Perry are subjected to exhaustive security checks. He was patted down, his wheel chair was examined and his hands were swabbed, all in public view in a see-through room at the security checkpoint. Perry, 71, is not alone.
“It’s humiliation,” Perry said.
Perry was also taken to a see-through room by a TSA agent when his artificial knee set off the metal detector.
“He yelled at me to get the belt off. ‘I told you to get the belt off.’ So I took the belt off. He ran his hands down over and pulled the pants down, they went down around my ankle,” Perry said.
At that point, Perry was standing in his underwear in public view. He asked to see a supervisor. That made things worse.
“She was yelling ‘I have power, I have power, I have power,” Perry said. The power to stop him from flying to Florida with his wife that day to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
“It makes you feel like you have no rights,” Perry said.

Roger asks some pretty difficult questions that may cause the heads of many in our statist culture to explode from the sheer internal pressure built up by cognitive dissonance.
The Emperor keeps his privileged lips locked in response to truth seekers:
Even an aborigine from the outback can recognize a con man when he sees one:
Just one more perverse charcteristic of the state- its lavish displays of dead bodies, belonging to those individuals inspired by the myth of national sacrifice:
JJ’s got something to say about niggers. Maybe he can kneel for redemption at the feet of Michael Richards:
If the state cannot get its way through deception it always resorts to force:
A friendly reminder to those who think they are in charge:
The state’s methods of invasion and plunder grow more bolder and annoying by the day:

How is this any different than what the government does when it exacts tribute?
The Wench Perry begs others to rebuild her precious, uninsured mansion:
The Sire of Stimulus illustrates his vision for the US economy:
The enviro-wackos are aligning with the US military. A group has risen from the statist slime calling itself “Green Collar 
Vets“, a nonprofit organization who’s mission is “to coordinate skill development, education and employment opportunities in emerging Green Industries for U.S. military veterans. ”I’ve offered some suggestions for productive “green” jobs for ex-soldier boys and girls:
It’s the perfect union, the environmentalists and the military. One group hates the idea of humanity even populating the earth while the other is highly skilled and experienced in actively eradicating such life.
Green used to be a pleasant color, arousing sensations of pleasant summers and the smell of freshly cut grass. Now the hue brings to mind images of pagan-generated genocide and neo-Luddite tyranny.

It would appear that the legally privileged gangsters of “the People’s” Republic of China have traded the boot stamping on a human face for the calm, soothing injection to oblivion within the comfortable confines of a “mobile execution chamber.”
By way of Disinfo.com, I found this report by Tim Boucher:
What is that fine looking vehicle, you ask? Why, it is part of “China’s new fleet of mobile execution chambers.”
Makers of the death vans say the vehicles and injections are a civilized alternative to the firing squad, ending the life of the condemned more quickly, clinically and safely. The switch from gunshots to injections is a sign that China “promotes human rights now,” says Kang Zhongwen, who designed the Jinguan Automobile death van.
The AOL News link that Boucher cites doesn’t appear to be working, but I found this June 2006 USA Today article on the execution of convicted murderer-rapist Zhang Shiqiang in one such death chamber-on-wheels (which appears to be the article Boucher quoted and attempted to link):
The country that executed more than four times as many convicts as the rest of the world combined last year is slowly phasing out public executions by firing squad in favor of lethal injections. Unlike the United States and Singapore, the only two other countries where death is administered by injection, China metes out capital punishment from specially equipped “death vans” that shuttle from town to town…
For years, foreign human rights groups have accused China of arbitrary executions and cruelty in its use of capital punishment. The exact number of convicts put to death is a state secret. Amnesty International estimates there were at least 1,770 executions in China in 2005 — vs. 60 in the United States, but the group says on its website that the toll could be as high as 8,000 prisoners.
I could just see something like this being supported by both major parties here in the United States. Why, just think of all the “terr’rists” they could round up and execute!
And it’s all perfectly humane! No muss, no fuss.

Witnessing the unending praise of the late Tim Russert has confirmed to me how key the mainstream media is in promoting the actions of the state and defending its crimes. Just read the copious complements coming from leading government elites. Even the Emperor, was not at a loss for a kind word. How can I take seriously a journalist who seems to be so loved by those who willfully destroy the freedom, lives, and fortunes of others on a daily basis- and call it democracy? Shouldn’t a worthy journalist have spent his career exposing the crimes and inherent evil of state institutions rather than mediate its silly, freak show debates among political partisans?
Instead, Mr. Russert made a nice living for accomplishing the following:
Promoting the idea that the American state is a legitimate authority over all matters of individual’s lives, no matter how minute the subject of concern.
Promoting the false left-right paradigm instead of the truth.
Promoting the idea that state domination of individual lives is a necessity for survival.
Promoting the idea that the needs of the nation-state collective (as perceived by the ruling state elites) outrank the needs of individuals (as perceived by those individuals).
It’s a dark period of loss for friends and family of Mr. Russert but, by default, his absence from the broadcasting pulpit allows the light of truth to shine a bit brighter.
Scott Horton has posted an interview with freelance investigative journalist Christopher Ketcham at Antiwar.com Radio that I highly recommend.
Ketcham discusses his latest article for RadarOnline, “The Last Roundup”, in which he tells of a government data base (or perhaps network of government data bases) allegedly code named “Main Core”, which may contain names and personal information on as many as 8 million Americans considered to be potentially obstructive of Uncle Sam’s “Continuity of Government” operations in the event of some kind of national crisis or emergency. These individuals “could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention,” according to Ketcham.
