The other night when I was surfing the tube, I found a disturbing program. The scene opened with a row of 6 or 8 (mostly female) teenagers laying face down in bizarre “people shelves” built for this ritual. They were wearing prison scrubs and having their ankles shackled. It looked like some sick sexual domination, but it was business as usual. After they stood up, their wrists were cuffed. Having tuned in after the program was already underway, I could only guess at their crime.

I assumed it was something terrible, like cold-blooded murder, or abduction and torture of a child or something. They were warned not to speak to each other while walking single file toward separate, locked cells before going into a courtroom.

Their crime? They were runaways! Some of the girls didn’t look older than 14 or 15 at most. I only watched long enough to see the first one being taken to a juvenile detention facility because her mother told the court she didn’t think that she could keep the girl from running away again. There was no mention of any crime. The girl sat there sobbing, rubbing her chafed wrists, pleading to go home.

Could living on the street be worse than what awaited her in government juvie jail? Was she safer? Was she more likely or less likely to become a somewhat functional adult after this additional trauma added to an obviously problematic childhood? What right do these pervs have shackling messed up kids who have harmed no one?

I’ll bet their “real” crime was that were truant from government schools. Your tax dollars hard at work there.

The Myth of Socialization

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

The other day, as I was getting a haircut, my stylist’s step daughter was sitting there waiting, saying she was hungry. The stylist kept telling her to walk over to subway. The child, about 9 or 10, was afraid of getting lost and wouldn’t go alone. My 13 y/o daughter was nearby reading a magazine. I asked the child if she’d like my daughter to walk her there. Her response? “I don’t care.” If you guessed that she attends publik skool, move to the head of the class.

The most used phrases by children indoctrinated in government day prison (schools) are these: “I dunno” and “I don’t care.” Children forced to endure day prison develop apathy as a defense mechanism. Don’t try to tell me my home schooled kids need to be “socialized” this way!

At first I thought, “if you don’t care, why should I?” Then I realized this child was unable to tell the truth, to be vulnerable, to expose a desire, not even for a basic thing like food.

She’s the product of an upper middle class family living in a nice neighborhood, with educated parents driving new cars and vacationing in Mexico several times a year. She had dead eyes, not like a child’s should be.

She’s accustomed to a world where it is unsafe to need human kindness or nurture. At skool, you’re not going to get it. You’re gonna get made fun of by other kids who’ve perfected the bullying technique or humiliated by someone with state authority. Tens of millions of children live this way. No wonder eating disorders, teen suicide, drug abuse, promiscuity, teen pregnancy, etc are epidemic in our culture. They “don’t care” but desperately want to be loved.

I painfully remembered what it was like to be a hungry child. I respectfully asked my daughter if she would mind taking the girl, no psychological force involved. I got a great haircut, but honestly, a small kindness to a wounded child was far more gratifying, even though it was a drop in a black hole-sized bucket.

When are people going to stop interring their children in government day prisons?

South Carolina Man Faces Death Penalty for Shooting Home Invaders

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Steven Bixby shot and killed a police officer and a Constable who entered his home after he had already warned the local government not to take any of his land so as to widen a highway while claiming eminent domain.

From the CNN Law Center:

His family was upset because the state wanted to take about 20 feet of land near their home to widen a highway. Witnesses said Bixby and his father, who is awaiting trial on murder charges, had threatened to gun down any officer who set foot on their land.

Steven’s 74 year old mother is being charged as an accessory despite not being present:

On the stand for the defense Saturday, Bixby’s mother agreed. “He has the right to protect his property by any means necessary,” testified Rita Bixby, 74.Although she wasn’t home during the gun battle, she was charged as an accessory because authorities say she knew her husband and son planned to harm police officers.

Bixby’s admittedly mentally unstable, having previously threatened neighbors and friends with death. The government still wouldn’t extradite him after he moved to South Carolina since he didn’t stand to face more than a year in prison, and the law does not provide for the right to extradite with potential penalties being any less. Bixby also only stood to lose about a square foot of his property.At either rate, the government certainly wasn’t going to compensate him for the air and noise pollution from the expanded highway, nor promise not to make him pay for the maintenance and policing of the highway.Eventually, there was a three hour stand-off in which hundreds of shots were fired at Bixby’s house, tear gas used, an armored vehicle smashed through his front door,a robot and S.W.A.T. team sent in.The lesson is clear: You must never defend yourself against the state. If you do, you will be branded crazy and an extremist, and will have overwhelming force and severe penalties brought to you and your family. Let this be a lesson to you that the state exists for your own good, whether you like it or not.

CNN’s story is here. A more detailed (and statist) account is at the Southern Poverty Law Center here.

The fourth page of the SPLC article is particularly disturbing in the consequences to follow for anti-government Confederates and anti-government literature in South Carolina.

“There have been a number of events around the country in recent years that indicate when you start hearing this inflammatory language, like ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ you better take it seriously. You can’t just dismiss people and say they’re wackos.”

Though the Bixbys took their hatred of government to a shocking extreme, their paranoid beliefs were clearly no aberration in upstate South Carolina. If Arthur, Rita and Steven are allowed to choose their own epitaphs, in fact, it should surprise no one if they quote directly from the tall Confederate monument in the middle of Court Square: “THEY KNEW THEIR RIGHTS AND DARED MAINTAIN THEM.”

Recommended DVD’s

Monday, February 19th, 2007
Eric Clapton: Sessions for Robert Johnson:  A very intimate look at Eric Clapton and friends playing both acoustic and electric versions of Robert Johnson songs. 
Smothered:  A look back at the 1967-69 Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and their continual battle with network censors.  I have fond memories of this show that was ahead of its time.
Regret to Inform:  Testimony of war widows from both sides of the Vietnam war.  Their horror stories will surely be repeated through the mouths of Iraq War widows in future documentaries.
WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception:  A detailed study of how the mainstream news media jumped into bed with the federal government and US military, and together deceived the country about the Iraq War.  Even before watching this documentary I had this question running through my mind: Why does the maintream news media continue to report from sources (politicians, the military) that have repeatedly lied and misled and whom have absolutly no crediblity to any thinking person?
A Scanner Darkly:  An odd but entertaining film about drug use and state surveillance based on the Philip K. Dick Sci-fi novel.  The acting of Robert Downey Jr. is particularly appealing.
Brother’s Keeper:  A docu-drama look at four elderly, batchelor brothers who have lived their entire lives on their farm.  One of the brothers is charged with murdering one of his siblings.  Watch how political ambition distorts justice and how the community rallies to support their own.  A very interesting true story.
The Source:  An enjoyable look back at the Beat Generation and the primary poets and writers who defined it.  Their writings and lifestyle were quite anarchistic.  It’s a shame that the Yippies and Leftists they inspired did not maintain this anarchistic outlook.
America- Freedom to Fascism:  A diligent Aaron Russo takes on Washington, challenging our masters to show where citizens are required, by law, to pay federal income tax.  He also gives us a brief, though easily understandable history of the Federal Reserve.  
Idiocracy:  A good idea but the movie comes across a bit lame.  An hour and twenty minutes is just too long to watch stupid people and still be amused.

FDA Approves Poison, Condemns Health

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

MSG is obscured by 25 different “ingredient” names. It is used by researchers to cause obesity in lab animals for testing, yet it is approved for human consumption by the FDA. Government will sell your health to the highest bidder if you let them. They are not protecting you, Ameri-duh. http://www.rense.com/general67/msg.htm

At the same time, they are harassing peaceful people who take responsibility for their own health by consuming only healthful, high quality raw milk and cheese. The FDA is expanding their milk “sting” operation and has recently sent a warning letter to (another) Amish farmer in Indiana who supplies beautiful, unprocessed dairy products to private, contracted individuals, even though his dairy’s raw milk, fresh from the cows, meets and exceeds the FDA’s own requirements applicable to pasteurized milk.

Contrast this with milk that is mass produced by big agri-business, who just happens to have a very cozy, lucrative relationship with their friends in Washington.  As always, petty government despots enjoy exerting power over others and profit from it immensely.

The Shrinking RFID

Friday, February 16th, 2007

The new Hitachi mu-chip is .4 by .4 millimeters and the new “powder type” chips are 60 times smaller. They can easily be incorporated into thin paper.

The government can and does do whatever it likes to whomever it wishes. They’re only hindered by what they don’t know. These powder chips could change all that.

It just gets easier and easier for the police state to track us and our every move under the guise of “freedom” and “security.” They could, for instance easily “see” that you’ve made $50 at your yard sale and automatically calculate how much tax you owe. They could also “see” how much allowance your kids get every week, or how much they made on a lemonade stand, then sell the information to eager marketing companies. Taxpayers are merely grist for the power brokers.

Life in Amerika these days is like watching a horror film come to life.

Proposed IMF Gold Sales

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

The IMF, surprise, suprise, has not managed taxpayer money well and they’re in trouble. They say its due to early repayment of loans from third world countries (they’d rather have the interest.) I’m pretty sure it’s due to outright theft the tendency of bureaucracy to grow itself, mismanagement and utter lack of concern for how other people’s money is spent.

It reminds me of a story I heard about an Indian coming into a diner and ordering coffee. After he drank it, he pullled out gun and shot a bag of cow dung and walked out. The next day he did the same. The third day everyone wanted to know what he thought he was doing. “Learning to work for the government. Drink coffee, shoot shit.”

Anyway, the IMF is considering selling (taxpayer) gold, about $6M of it to raise revenue. There’s a lot of speculation as to whether that will a) happen and b) adversely affect the price of gold.

Doug Hornig of Casey Research talks about why he thinks it won’t happen and if it does, why it shouldn’t affect the markets.

But if it should happen, anything that causes a dip in gold prices provides a great buying opportunity.

Meet the Little Fascist

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

It’s always annoying hearing about people using the hammer of the state to force their agenda on everyone else. It’s particularly distressing when that person is just a child.

Meet Justin Kvadas who has decided second hand smoke is such a health risk to children that smoking should be banned from automobiles. “If you can’t eat, drink or talk on a cell phone while driving, how come you can still smoke? It can be just as dangerous, or more dangerous.” He is now in the process of petitioning the Connecticut state legislature to initiate just such a ban. I guess Justin has never been exposed to the method of peaceful persuasion to bring about change.

He has the support of his mother and has even been named “Person of the Week” be ABC News.  Talk about child abuse.

Perverse Consistency

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Since a minor can be kidnapped and caged for eating or smoking the wrong plants, it’s not surprising that the state will jail one on child pornography charges for taking pictures of herself and her boyfriend.

And again, we must repeat our mantra for that ever replenishing gaggle of parents as it seems the situation might apply here: “Don’t call the state police to discipline your children!”
