And it will most likely be interpreted by people you don’t like, to serve the interests of the powerful.<br /><br />In World War I the Wilson administration and legislative sponsors of the Sedition Act assured the public it would be used only to prosecute those who actively interfered with the war effort or hampered conscription — not to harass dissidents who publicly criticized the government or disagreed with the war on policy grounds. The ensuing mass arrests of left-wing dissidents under the Sedition Act, including Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs, were the largest repression of dissent in American history from the Civil War to the present.<br /><br />More recently, we’ve seen the abuse of RICO statutes — ostensibly passed for the comparatively narrow purpose of fighting organized crime — to suppress political movements out of favor with the government.<br /><br />Now we’re seeing an especially instructive example of this phenomenon: Homeland Security’s seizure, at the behest of the music and movie industries, of the domain names of dozens of websites which were accused (but not charged, tried or convicted) of promoting copyright infringement. You just go to a URL, and in place of the former website you see a menacing Department of Justice logo. Please note that the “infringing activities” of some of the websites which were shut down consisted entirely of providing search engine results linking to torrent sites. So apparently there’s no longer even a safe harbor for those who link to alleged “copyright infringers.”<br /><br />Most people who supported the USA PATRIOT Act and the creation of DHS, no matter how unjustifiably, presumably believed that those extraordinary grants of power would be used only for the extraordinary purpose of fighting genuine terror networks like Al Qaeda and preventing terrorist attacks on the United States. It should be abundantly clear now that those people were had.<br /><br />Homeland Security is expanding its mission into areas totally unrelated to the ostensible purpose for which it was initially sold to the public. And it is engaging in this mission creep under the influence of powerful economic interests which are totally unaccountable to the public: Namely, Joe Biden’s friends in the MPAA and RIAA.<br /><a href="http://c4ss.org/content/5211?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+c4ss+%28Center+for+a+Stateless+Society%29"><br />Read more</a>JAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17310216454306099879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119673762423620628.post-18534888007705423982010-12-21T10:33:00.001-08:002010-12-21T11:45:44.935-08:00Not All of the Founding Fathers Were Patriots<span style="font-style: italic;">I finally took the time to watch the HBO documentary, "John Adams," and found it engaging even as it opened my eyes to the fact that I much more a Jeffersonian than most of my everyday, religious-right, conservative acquaintances. To my disappointment, I heard former president John Adams sounding like a typical, modern-day liberal. It is no wonder that his eldest son, the over-achiever/responsible child of Adam's clearly dysfunctional family, who later became sixth president of the United States, immediately assumed the roll of a socialist leader. It was only Thomas Jefferson who I found consistently reasonable. In vain, Jefferson continuously beat the drum of libertarianism to Adams during his presidency. For some reason, many people, the religious right, neo-conservatives especially, tend to delude themselves by idealizing our founding fathers as being the apostles of the "free world." Deeper investigation shows that this was far from the case. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">As Polycentricorder.com puts it,</span> "In the first place its important to recognize that not all of the “founding fathers” were patriots. There was quite a large contingency of men during those formative years that were not in favor of liberty for mankind, nor for low taxation, nor for a limited government. Ben Franklin at one point put fourth the idea of doing away with the states entirely and having a single central government to rule the entire country. Hamilton envisioned an American empire based off the British Empire. And George Washington after Fighting a war over taxes on tea, was ready to fight a war against his own people who were rebelling over his unjust tax on whiskey. On the other side there were principled men, who were of the opinion that what London was doing wasn’t right, and it wouldn’t be right even if it were our government that did it. George Mason, and Patrick Henry, chief among them, campaigned against the Ratification of the Constitution in Virginia, and were instrumental in the drafting of the Bill of Rights, without which, the constitution would be clearly seen for what it is, the Charter of a centralized, overbearing, intrusive and unjust centralized government."<br /><br />"The Constitution is not holy, it was not written by the finger of God on stone tablets and brought down from Mount Sini by Washington! the men who voted for it, were not founding fathers, but traitors to the revolution. Its justification, the very excuse for a stronger centralized government was to beat the british and gain our independence, they said the Articles were not strong enough. And if we lived in Ray Bradbury’s novel, we might accept this as truth, but the fact is that the King signed a peace treaty with the 13 colonies and Vermont four years before the constitution was ratified. Turns out the constitution was entirely unnecessary. Yet there was a silver lining, in that dark our. The Anti Federalist, those against a strong centralized government gave us the bill of rights, the first 10 amendments to the constitution."<br /><br />Read more here: <a href="http://polycentricorder.blogspot.com/">Polycentricorder</a>JAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17310216454306099879noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119673762423620628.post-59931850928477591302010-12-21T10:33:00.000-08:002010-12-21T10:58:22.587-08:00Nullification<span style="font-style: italic;">The Ninth Amendment (Amendment IX) to the United States Constitution, which is part of the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution"> Bill of Rights</a>, addresses rights of the people that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

In light of objective naturalistic language, it studies the causal components and processes of the genesis of evil, regardless of the latter’s social scope. We may attempt to analyze these ponerogenic processes which have given rise to human injustice, armed with proper knowledge, particularly in the area of psychopathology. Again and again, as the reader will discover, in such a study, we meet with the effects of pathological factors whose carriers are people characterized by some degree of various psychological deviations or defects.” (Lobaczewski, 42)...<br /><br />"Oversimplification of the causative picture as regards the genesis of evil, often to a single easily understood cause or one perpetrator, itself becomes a cause in this genesis. . . . Any attempt to explain the things that occurred during the first half of our [twentieth] century by means of categories generally accepted in historical thought leaves a nagging feeling of inadequacy. Only a ponerological approach can compensate for this deficit in our comprehension, as it does justice to the role of various pathological factors in the genesis of evil at every social level."

Did the private sector fail to set up schools or set up too few of them? Were large segments of society barred from obtaining education? Was the education of poor quality? The answer to the last three questions is no. The public schools were not established to make up for any deficiency in people's ability to learn to read, write, do arithmetic, and acquire knowledge of other subjects. The government schools were set up for another purpose entirely. [Snip]<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Throughout history, rulers and court intellectuals have aspired to use the educational system to shape their nations. The model was set out by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/Author=Plato/foundatfortruthi">Plato</a> in <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0465069347/foundatfortruthi">The Republic</a></i> and was constructed most faithfully in Soviet Russia, Fascist Italy, and Nazi Germany. But one need not look only to extreme cases to find such uses of the educational system. One can see how irresistible a vehicle the schools would be to any social engineer. They represent a unique opportunity to mold future citizens early in life, to instill in them the proper reverence for the ruling culture, and to prepare them to be obedient and obeisant taxpayers and soldiers. Unsurprisingly, rulers and intellectuals jumped at the chance to make the schools a mill for the creation of Good Citizens. That motivation has been part of every effort to establish government schools.<br /></div><a href="http://www.sntp.net/education/school_state_3.htm"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Read More:</span></a>JAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17310216454306099879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119673762423620628.post-85138941963310490782009-06-02T23:02:00.000-07:002009-06-02T23:03:12.883-07:00Liberty & Tyranny<p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;">“We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.

And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names - liberty and tyranny.”</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">~ Abraham Lincoln</p>JAYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17310216454306099879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119673762423620628.post-89653559953941820922009-05-31T20:04:00.000-07:002009-06-02T19:57:05.945-07:00Time for Government to Finally Ban Itself<div style="text-align: left;"><span style=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Georgia;" > <o:p></o:p></span></span>by <b><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Georgia;" ><a href="mailto:glen@apbb.net">Glen Allport</a></span></b><br />May 29, 2009<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);">-1-</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);">Behind the Mask, Systematic Evil </span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;">After centuries and millennia of <span style=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Georgia;" ><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html">tyranny, </a><a href="http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20090518_the_disease_of_permanent_war/">war</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_murder#Mass_murder_by_a_state">mass murder</a>, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmybS_tSZvAfygAovu9LyO9to1jn1DvBhEln531tfktZKznzSbqlPY31uBaoyYKQ29BAy6ZB_LycpTroOpZ0uphmVYxYS3pzkHtahVYjqV7BuQPNegmBCuNBiZ_ybVhokM9OLHt0L0b7M/s1600-h/The+Torture+Flowchart4.jpg">torture</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_corruption">corruption</a>, <a href="http://www.isil.org/resources/lit/looting-of-america.html">legalized theft</a>, <a href="http://november.org/graphs/">unjust imprisonment</a>, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/recession/5309591/Economists-letter-spells-out-what-went-wrong.html">economic devastation</a></span></span>, and other needless evil, isn't it finally time we <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">banned</span> the cause of all that horror?<br /><br />Can we not find the strength to <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">end</span> this intrusive, violent, coercive scam – this conspiracy against love and freedom, this formalized über-criminal empire, this sick enabler of Hitler and Stalin and <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Georgia;" ><span style=""><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/feb/01/northkorea">Kim Jong-Il</a></span></span> and so many other <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Georgia;" ><span style=""><a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/PSYCHOPATHS-IN-GOVERNMENT-by-James-Jaeger-090425-941.html">psychopaths</a></span></span>, this boot on the neck of every man, woman and child?
