Tea Party vs. Immigration shows statist element of movement

Two videos from the November 14th mini-Tea Parties showed that the Tea Party movement is less about individual liberty than using government the way they want it used. In the first, a young man "punks" a Tea Party group getting lots of applause as he declares: "...Let's send these European immigrants back where they came from," he said to wild cheers. "We need to send every one of them back home. ... They stole this land through genocide and ethnic cleansing." Then he leads the crowd in the chant: "Columbus go home! Columbus go home!" Funnier than heck...


In the second video some left-wing Che Guevera fans counter-protest with the signs safely across the street from the Tea Party people. But one or two of Tea Party people come over, try to take their signs and the lefties jump all over them for trying to steal their private property. If only BOTH sides would go libertarian and stop promoting left and right wing STATISM.

Why the psychiatrist went crazy...

Besides being a Muslim who got ticked off for being insulted about being a Muslim in the military, what else could have driven military psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan crazy enough to join those who immorally use terror to protest oppression? (Unless he was dumb enough to think terror is an effective method of proselytizing?)

Anyway, Kevin Tillman is the brother of football player turned American soldier Pat Tillman (above) who was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan - which the military covered up for 5 weeks. He was shot 3 times in the head! In 2006 Kevin listed some reasons even Christian and Jewish and Americans of all religions are disgusted with the U.S. government - and most of them still apply to President Obama...

Somehow the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes.

Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground.

Somehow those afraid to fight an illegal invasion decades ago are allowed to send soldiers to die for an illegal invasion they started.

Somehow faking character, virtue and strength is tolerated.

Somehow profiting from tragedy and horror is tolerated.

Somehow the death of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people is tolerated.

Somehow subversion of the Bill of Rights and The Constitution is tolerated.

Somehow suspension of Habeas Corpus is supposed to keep this country safe.

Somehow torture is tolerated.

Somehow lying is tolerated.

Somehow reason is being discarded for faith, dogma, and nonsense.

Somehow American leadership managed to create a more dangerous world.

Somehow a narrative is more important than reality.

Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and condemns everything that it is.

Somehow the most reasonable, trusted and respected country in the world has become one of the most irrational, belligerent, feared, and distrusted countries in the world.

Somehow being politically informed, diligent, and skeptical has been replaced by apathy through active ignorance.

Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country.

Somehow this is tolerated.

Somehow nobody is accountable for this.

Update: Washington Post writes: "The Army psychiatrist believed to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood warned a roomful of senior Army physicians a year and a half ago that to avoid 'adverse events,' the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against other Muslims."

Video: Halloween Protest at the White House

Halloween being my favorite holiday besides Winter Solstice, I got out to the Code Pink Halloween protest against Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran wars at the White House. As it happened, the Obamas were having a Halloween party for a bunch of kids who won a lottery, so we couldn't get close to the building. But we were right on top of the line of kids waiting to get in and gave them quite a dramatic show of ghouls and vampires sucking our blood to feed their wars. Hope one of them asked Obama when he was going to END the wars!! (That's me with "Don't Bomb Iran" bomb.)

30 foot asteroid explodes like 3 Hiroshimas

Luckily for Indonesia last October 8th, it was over ten miles in the sky. But in the video it looks a lot closer! Meanwhile one of many articles reveals: "NASA calculated that to spot the asteroids as required by law would mean spending about $800 million between now and 2020, either with a new ground-based telescope or a space observation system, Johnson said. If NASA got only $300 million, it could find most asteroids bigger than 1,000 feet across, he said."

BIG Tea Party - Medical shortages another good reason...

September 12 Washington DC Tea Party was yet another demonstration I missed. I kept hearing how big it was and saw one somewhat impressive photo. Then recently discovered this site and three very impressive photos. Assuming they aren't claiming some big gay or women's right's rally was theirs, very impressive!

Most of these people are against the laws and taxes that are destroying the economy and crushing our freedoms. Unfortunately, too many still support spending a trillion dollars a year to keep the rest of the world under control, what with those 800 foreign bases, and those two big wars in the Middle East. (Some even criticize Obama for the little he is doing to try to stop Israel from attacking Iran and starting a truly catastrophic war.) But more and more of them are going LIBERTARIAN and are able and willing to admit it's time to retrench big military as well as big government because...

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS BROKE - and so are most of its people.

The nation is so broke that not only do we not produce most of the medicines and medical supplies we need in this country, but have to import them - and pretty soon no one's going to take the dollar from a bankrupt nation. China isn't going to pay for our wars - AND divert medical supplies from its 1.3 billion hard working/hard saving people to our 300 million increasingly unemployed, retired and indebted ones. One of several reasons medical supplies, vaccines and tamiflu are in short supply.

Of course, the U.S. government owns one third of the land in the country and we can always sell that off... (Here's the Fed's view on it all. Here's Cato Institute's reply. And Ron Paul's.)

Anyhooo- as someone who had the flu twice in 2007-2008, plus a couple bad colds directly after, I got a flu shot last fall and it worked. No flu or colds in 2008-2009. This year, despite trying at CVS and the doctors, I'm very frustrated I still can't get a regular flu shot. (I don't intend to get the swine flu shot but feel sorry for those who want it and can't get it - assuming it doesn't turn out to be a killer toxin after all!)

I DO have a couple masks I got from somewhere, something else also in shortage. And lots of Kefiyah's to cover my face, in case I have to go out in public during flu season. Now if I can just get my roommate to cover his face when he sneezes and wash his hands when he walks in the door. Anyway, click on photo below to get to dramatic Youtube video.

MARIJUANA! A tiny big more legal....

Yoo Ha! President Obama does one tiny little bit towards legalizing the most wonderful medicinal on the planet: Obama administration won't prosecute where medical marijuana is legal.

Here's a nice NORML map of status in different states.

Oh, my arthritis! Oh, my aching back! I need my medicine and I need it now!!

Iranians Love U.S. Secessionists

Iranians Love U.S. Secessionists because they seek to undermine the "Great Satan" (or "Evil Empire")... and yet Imperial U.S./Israel war on Iran and the ensuing economic fiasco, civil liberties abuses and even nuclear war are the things most likely to turn tens of millions of Americans INTO secessionists and break up the U.S. Ironic, eh??

Secession Is the Future
Kirkpatrick Sale Talks To Iranians About the Death of Empires

The following interview with Middlebury Institute director Kirkpatrick Sale appeared in the Kayhan International newspaper of Tehran, Iran on July 21, 2009, and in the Persian language Kayhan News the same day. The interviewer was Seyed Yasser Jebraily.

You have argued that the major theme of contemporary history is the break-up of great empires. Would you elaborate on this and also evaluate the current status of U.S. Empire, I mean its failures and successes?
