It’s amazing what happens when you restrict firearms so much. People have to resort to hiring people who are “exempt” from the law to protect them. They outlaw particular types of tools effective for the job, and this is the result.
I guess it was all just a job creation plan for California that started way back, they just saw this recession depression coming.
So the unions in Wisconsin are currently going ape because the elected representatives have finally learned that if money going out is greater than money coming in, it is unsustainable. However some of the law makers fled to prevent the law from moving forward.
For those who can’t understand how bad this explosion of debt across the country is, here’s a video regarding the Federal Deficit and proposed spending cuts.
Overall the Federal and even the Wisconsin cuts are a drop in their respective buckets. The fact is things are going to have to start hurting to try and get things under control. The options are minor pain now from the market corrections, or serious pain later. The fact is public unions have overpriced themselves, crammed benefits down the throat, and now make considerably more than the private sector.
What is wrong with that I hear you ask? The private sector pays the salary of the public servants through taxes. So when the servants are making more than the private sector, the bottom line is it’s going to be unsustainable. Your output is bigger than your input, and you have thusly violated the second law of thermodynamics. You can not get something for nothing, who is going to pay the debt that the public sector is creating, it’s larger than the wages of the private sector. Even FDR, my previously most hated socialist President hated the idea of public unions and understood the dangers.
This year the deficit will be 11% of the total gross domestic product. For those of you who lack the ability to understand what the above means, the government has spent almost 11% of the production from the private sector, the government does not create wealth. Wealth is created by production, the government does not produce, it consumes, don’t believe me or the link, explain the deficit. The consumption has now matched the output of the private sector, and has passed the income of the government for a long time.
Unions are dying, there is no question. What is interesting, is many of these people see the problem but have now been on the government teat for so long they have grown accustomed and dependent. Many are conned into joining the union, or forced. They become dependent and turn from being productive to being parasites. Their response is cut money from someplace else.
TMW was the first one to ever ask the magical question when deciding on her new job, “Do I have to join the union?” We finally got an answer, and thankfully it was no, and no matter what we were going to stick to our principals. Many do not have the courage to do the right thing even when it hurts. Many of those who have joined the union, were not aware that they could opt out or what other things the union does with their money. The union takes 3% of every employees wages, it’s no wonder they could finance Obama’s election. Many do not even know what else the union does “on their behalf.” Union dues are nothing more than a mandatory political donation when the union is forced upon the people. When it’s implied that union membership is required for employment, it’s racketeering. Employment is held hostage unless you submit to also work for the political party supported by your union.
It’s no wonder given these facts that the unions are fighting so hard to prevent from being shut up. Kids are being drug out of school to protest instead of learning. They’re trying to cause enough discomfort that they continue to be paid their outrageous wage. The thing is, there is no money to do so. Unions especially public employee ones are some of the biggest parasites in America and they need to be dealt with swiftly as the dangerous infection they are. Their motivation is greed, because if the employees aren’t unionized, the union heads can’t steal money off the income of the workers, and pay to have their buddies elected. May Wisconsin be successful, and may other states follow in their path.
The King County prosecutor has decided not to press charges against Officer Ian Birk regarding this incident.
This whole incident is reminding me of the what the Federal Government did to protect Lon Horiuci after Ruby Ridge. The officer created this incident, and shot a man without any real probable cause. The individual had done nothing wrong, was not aggressive or threatening anyone, yet he was shot four times. The reasoning for the prosecutors office was the following:
Any civilian who made the same decision as Birk would be charged with murder, or at minimum manslaughter. There is no way that they would escape criminal prosecution. Even in video taped incidents of self defense civilians do end up on trial. Why is law enforcement given a free pass? So what that their job is more dangerous, if they use deadly force, it needs to be CLEARLY justified. In this case Seattle PD has admitted that he was clearly unjustified.
So, this is really just the same story we’ve heard before, but now on a lower level than the Federal level. Remember, they’re exempt, you are not.
Joe has gotten to talk to someone who was involved in the Manhattan Project. I highly suggest reading his presentation, it’s a great read for a nice first person account regarding the development of the implosion bomb.
Joan Peterson has now admitted that she would be happy if gun deaths were zero, even if the total number of violent crime incidents increased. This is coming on the heels of two mass knife attacks on the East Coast.
The first occurred in Brooklyn killing at least 5 people and injuring two others using both a knife and running one person over. The next occurred in New Jersey where three elderly people were attacked in a restaurant.
If their goal is to make society safer, how is having a higher violent crime rate actually better? There is no screaming to ban assault knives, or to keep knives out of the hands of criminals. The tool the anti-gunners are attacking also happens to be one of the best tools for self-defense. A elderly person can effectively defend themselves from a youthful attacker who would instead kill them. Mrs. Peterson, go to hell, you have no business telling us to give up our guns for a higher crime rate. With a lower crime rate, society overall is actually safer, leave it that way.
Violent crime, is violent crime, the tool doesn’t matter, what does matter is those same tools save more lives than they take.
When you see the following regarding someone’s experience with the backscatter X-Ray machine and someone opting out, it should be obvious why they’re doing it.
Remember, they claim the necessity is for our safety, but given who the TSA hires and comments like this, it’s to get their rocks off.
H/T to Uncle.
This past December the DC Metro announced that it was going to start randomly searching DC Metro riders.
Evidently trying to travel to your job at work is grounds to consider you a criminal. Again the claim of necessity is much like that used for aircraft and these shenanigans even involve A Security Theater. This has absolutely nothing to do with security, but giving them more control. The TSA is out of control and it seems some still feel like they need more.
Just when it seemed when it couldn’t get any worse, this new article surfaces.
"It’s not as much about detection as it’s about deterrence," he said in an interview on WTOP radio.
(Emphasis mine.) They even admit publically that they will probably fail to detect someone attempting to smuggle explosives on. It’s all about “deterrence”, aka, providing the illusion of security. This is the second time this idea has been pushed, the first time it was shot down. The person who pushed it the first time was recently promoted to a higher position. Given all of that I guess someone really wants to run around saying “Respect my Authoritah!”
H/T to myself, I emailed it to myself and then forgot about it, I discovered it while cleaning up my inbox tonight.
In San Diego evidently a cabbie either fell asleep or blacked out, he then crashed into 25 people, critically injuring six.
There has been no screaming for outlawing automobiles in the wake of this event. Unlike in the wake of Arizona. Actually the press is so light on it, it was discovered and posted in the GBC by someone in Australia. There has not been a single mention though of requiring additional safety devices as a result of this accident. Despite there being systems which can detect inattentiveness of the driver.
It becomes obvious that safety isn’t the real goal. People might claim it to be, but obviously if it was they would be screaming for changes with regards to automobiles after this accident.
