The Road to Dictatorship
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Honey, I Shutdown the Airport
Monday, January 11th, 2010Take a moment and read the article on Reuters concerning the shutdown of a California airport. I’ll give you the highlights here:
A thirty one year old gardener is inspected after the TSA bomb sniffing equipment gives an alarm over his bag. Found inside are five Gatorade bottles containing an amber colored liquid. The equipment finds positive for TNT and TATP. Two out of five of the TSA officers inspecting the containers, are overcome from what they called “chemical odors” when examining the material and are rushed to the hospital after becoming severely nauseous. The entire airport is shutdown for the rest of the day. County Sheriffs, the fire department and FBI agents, as well as members of a “joint terrorism task force” arrive on the scene and question the gardener for the remainder of the day. He is described as being “very cooperative” with their investigation.
Tests come back with the finding that the five bottles contain honey.
You read that right. Honey. You know, the food made by bees.
I realize that most of the TSA is manned by idiots so dim witted that they can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, but the level of bat-shit idiocy needed to convince yourself that you’re somehow overcome by the “chemical odor” emanating from a bottle of honey is so staggering, that you have to wonder if there are more than two or three neurons in their head altogether – and they’re devoted to panic!
Honey?
America wants these drooling morons operating full body scanners that may cause damage to your DNA? Even if they don’t cause harm when operated properly, do you trust these imbeciles to operate the machines correctly?
Seriously, folks – when are you going to say no to this intrusive, ineffective, mind-numbing nonsense? When are you going to finally have your fill of security theater?
How much of your liberty and common sense are you willing to sacrifice for a little perceived safety?
Tactless Sinister Assholes (TSA)
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009If you’ve done any reading on the bullying, abusive, malignant insanity foisted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), (also known as Tactless Sinister Assholes) upon hapless air passengers, then you probably have a very clear picture of just how useless this entire organization is. They represent, not real security, but a theater act. People are pulled out of line for no reason which makes any sense. Clearly stupid regulations are put into place as to what cannot be carried on a plane. Clearly stupid behavior is exhibited by the TSA slime who man the security lines. People’s right to privacy and security are being infringed by these government goons in strip searches and pat downs. Property which could not be used to down a plane or take it over, is confiscated. Last, but not least, policing power is being abused at levels which reminds one of the Gestapo of the Third Reich, where charges are pretty much invented against individuals who have done absolutely nothing wrong.
Most of the TSA morons are not qualified enough to push a broom, but give them a tin badge and they’ll take their minimal IQ and devote it to causing misery for air travelers. I long ago stopped flying, because I don’t like being treated like a criminal in my own country.
Don’t believe me? Pick your favorite Web search engine and search for "TSA sucks". Read the links and the comments on those pages which have them. The stories are profuse.
I’ve read quite a few accounts which makes my blood boil, but this one has to be one of the worst. The TSA insanity is plainly showing.
Marching Toward Swine Flu
Thursday, July 30th, 2009As if the march toward a police state in America isn’t happening quickly enough, now the scare of a pandemic, swine flu, has the military desiring to use troops on US soil in the event.
Considering how poorly the aftermath of hurricane Katrina was handled, I have a difficult time believing an actual outbreak will be dealt with any more efficiently or any more politely. People were forced out of their homes, even when they were not in danger. People had their weapons confiscated so that they couldn’t defend themselves. Troops patrolled the streets like it was a war zone.
None of this report mentions military physicians, just military personnel. That means that there are those in government planning for one or more of the following; forced vaccinations, forced quarantine, forced relocation, quelling civil disorder (possibly including weapon confiscation) and even full scale martial law.
Why do I use the word “forced” here? Because that’s all the military does, is use force. That’s what the military is designed to do. There is no respect for the Constitution, no respect for local laws, just military power and authority. While I’m absolutely certain that there are those in the military who take their oath seriously and would refuse unethical orders given, there are just as many who would follow any order, due to their indoctrination to the military programming of behavior. That can lead to a very dangerous situation and violation our liberties.
When the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law in 2007, Posse Comitatus, the prohibition of using military force within the US for local law enforcement, was erroded. Sanity eventual returned in 2008, when this portion of the JWNDAA was repealed. If the military goes through with this plan, they will be doing so in direct violation of Posse Comitatus. There’s no need for it, either. The National Guard has long been exempt from Posse Comitatus, when called up by a state governor. If a situation arises where military personnel are needed, the Guard can handle it. It’s part of their designed duty and their training.
In any case, something bad is afoot if the government is even entertaining this idea. I also find it quite interesting how the press continues to hype up the case for a major pandemic in the fall, as if the government has had any success in predicting disease outbreaks of any kind. Why the certainty?
There are more questions than answers in the whole affair.
