I have a hard time supporting the Texas Polygamist compound's members. Not that they dont' have a right to seperate themselves from the US twisted society, but the whole 40 and 50 year old men impregnating little girls really creeps me out. It's like cavewomen with fancy dresses on.
Anyway, let this all be a lesson learned to every parent, child, potential parent whatever. The social services industry (and it is a business in this beauracratic republic) can at any time knock on your door and demand to speak to, interview, and potentially remove your children from your custody. This can occur in any state in the US. Because of bleeding heart California type legislation, anyone can anonymously call into Child Protective Services, tell them you are abusing your children, and the agency will act with a purpose to take your children away from you.
Think about this. Have you ever pissed off a neighbor, a co-worker, a person period, in your life? All they have to do to get your goat completely is place a simple anonymous tip to the family haters and your kids are gone. Not gone and the next day you talk your way into getting them back. Not gone and you talk to them on the phone telling them mommy and daddy love them and they'll be home soon. Not gone and your lawyer can work the system. Gone. Your children are gone. Maybe to some trailer park where their new mommy and daddy will gladly spend the extra money they get from fostering them on another bottle of cheap vodka. Gone to where they know nobody and are taught to hate everybody. Of course, you can continue to believe this whole time that the system is on your side and the people who snatched your children are truly on the side of the people. Only after months, maybe years, will your finally realize that your family means nothing compared to increasing a government beauracracy's budget year after year.
So here's the deal, and this is information that I hope none of us never need to know. If someone from any agency comes to your door and says they want to talk to your children, that there is a report or evidence that you are abusive, DO NOT assume your innocence is evident and that by exposing your family everything will be allright. If you are faced with a Child Protective Services Agent, even if there is a police officer there, you demand to see a warrant. You demand a court order before you let anyone even look at your child. The government has no right to enter your home, to privately interview your family members, to remove your children from your custody, UNLESS you give them that permission.
Most people in this situation are caught off guard because they assume that there is a presumption of innocence. Combine that with the aggressive behavior and insistance put forth by the beauracrat, and there seems to be nothing to do but follow along and hope it will all be OK. Understand this, there is a presumption of abuse and guilt and the government agent will snatch your children as soon as you let them. If you have anyone in your past or present that would like to make your life a living hell then you could be made a target. If you don't have anyone that dislikes you, then maybe you're too naive to read this with an open mind. Good luck to you...

It's the Drinking, Stupid!
The Failing DWI Industry
It’s the Drinking, Stupid!
3-19-2008
GEORGETOWN, Texas (Associated Press) A Texas man has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for his 10th conviction of driving while intoxicated since 1979.
Prosecutors say 53-year-old Anthony Lynn Falco of Taylor waived his right to a jury trial and pleaded not guilty to the felony charge over the June 22 traffic stop.
A statement Tuesday from the Williamson County prosecutor says tests showed Falco's blood alcohol content was 0.17 percent, more than twice the legal limit for driving in Texas.
Prosecutor John Bradley says Falco had nine prior DWI convictions and served prison terms from five to 10 years. He also had convictions for theft, family violence assault and forgery.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080320/ap_on_re_us/10th_dwi
Don’t get me wrong; driving under the influence is wrong. It is dangerous, it is irresponsible, and it is a deadly threat to the public at large. People that drive under the influence, even at the ridiculously low blood-alcohol levels DWI’s (or DUI, depending on the state) fall under, are playing a game of Russian roulette with their own life and the lives of others.
That being said, it continually astounds me that the same ineffective, non-deterrent laws are pushed as being any kind of a solution. Let’s face it, there has never been a law written that actually prevents crime, from the Ten Commandments to the Federal Code. But the true purpose of law, to deter crime, and keep it at a minimum and ever decreasing level, is failing when it comes to the crime of driving under the influence. That’s because like so many other pieces of our bureaucratic republic, it has become capitalized, incorporated and lobbied as an entire money generating industry of its own.
Anyone that has been arrested for DWI can attest that it’s all about draining the pockets of the offender, not rehabilitation and prevention. Now normally that monetary punishment would have a deterring effect on the offender. But in the case of DWI the focus of the punishment is put in the wrong place.
The drunken driver (a broad term) is punished for driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages. The license is taken away, the attorney fees, fines, rehab, therapy and community service are kicked in and in many cases a job is lost. Most times the convicted, out of necessity, will continue to drive without insurance. Most times the drinking will continue and the cycle begins anew with even greater consequences.
The problem with a drunken driver isn’t the fact that they were driving; it is that they were drinking. You never see any laws promoted, debated or passed to deny the privilege of drinking alcohol. That’s because the alcohol industry lobbyists have more money than god (or MADD in this case). And you will never see the Federal Government take away a portion of one of the only legal taxes they have, the direct taxation of alcohol. Combine those two powerhouses and all you have left is yanking a driver’s license and a draining of funds. Sure your driver’s license, job, insurance and savings are gone, but feel free to go buy a drink to drown your sorrows. It’s a drug dealing scam, and it’s legal because the drug dealers make sure it’s kept legal.
Believe me, I’m not calling for repeal of the repeal of prohibition. There are plenty of people out there that use alcohol responsibly and within the confines of the law. But on a case-to-case basis, isn’t the best punishment to deny the drinking privilege for an extended period of time, and shouldn’t that be the first punishment? Think about it, you’ve got an addictive drug that impairs judgment, causing otherwise decent citizens to make decisions that are detrimental to the public interest. Taking away a person’s savings, source of income and the means to reasonably get to a job will only lead to more drinking. It’s a continual cycle that benefits only the bureaucrats, the alcohol industry, and the lobbyist groups for and against alcohol consumption. The problem of DWI is not deterred, and the problem of irresponsible drinking is perpetuated because that is what funds the DWI industry.
I would like to see a specialized states driver’s license (no, not a Federal ID Card) that gives a green light or a red light for alcohol purchases. On-premise establishments (bars) and off-premise establishments (liquor stores) would be forced to ID every customer regardless of age. It would be extremely difficult to drive somewhere, drink enough to be over the limit, and then drive away. The burden would be on the provider/dealer.
The most common argument I get is that taking away an offenders drinking privilege would still leave room for the restricted citizen to offend, that you can’t keep an addict from drinking. That may be true for a certain percentage of people, but if you make it nearly impossible to drink in public without privilege, then you will force those that continue to drink without privilege to drink off premise and behind closed doors. Yes, there would still be those that drink and drive, no law prevents crime. But I’m confident that the amount of drinking and driving accidents, arrests and occurrences would drop dramatically.
The same is true of other crimes that may or may not involve drinking. If a person is convicted of domestic violence or child abuse (or any felony), they should automatically have their drinking privileges taken away for an extended period of time, regardless of whether drinking was involved in the crime or not. Those that would provide alcohol to a restricted person would face strict punishments too, whether a licensed establishment, or a friend or spouse.
The point is that it’s the drinking stupid! I’m calling for the government, the alcohol industry, the DWI lobbyist groups and voting citizens to take the correct action to deter drinking and thus deter crimes committed as a consequence of the effects of drinking.

Enough With Compound Laws
Everything is against the law. Think about it. After 300 years of constant, unmanaged and unrestrained legislation by profiteering lawyers, by now every angle of illegality has to have been covered. Even bills that are passed with seemingly beneficial legislation have riders and hidden pork and hidden agendas that completely pollute the spirit of the bill that was originally proposed.
It's time to give the 2-bit charletons in the house and senate something to do besides dream up new reason to detain and incarcerate the "lower class" populace. I propose that all federal laws currently on the books be given a 5, 10 or 20 years stipulation of moratorium on them. By this I mean that each law has to be relegislated in a future period of time. It could simply be passed again as it's written and that's that. But if the congress can not re-pass it, the legislation in its entirety should be abolished.
Any new laws the legislators come up with should also be given the 5-10-20 treatment. The goal here is to keep federal law fresh, current and less complex, while at the same time keeping the legislature occupied with improving and sharpening a finite set of laws on the books rather than dreaming up whatever the hell they drink themselves into dreaming.

Looking Out of the Cave
It took me 15 years to accept that everything I had been told to believe, and did believe, was a complete shadow of the truth.
I think the first time I grasped that not only my life, but the lives of a nation, of a world, could be programmed to believe anything was in reading Plato's Allegory of the Cave. His characters stared at shadows eminating from a fire burning from behind them. Ours eminate from a television screen.
There is no way that we could all be so easily lulled into zombie couch potatoes were it not for the television. It has taken over our lives as a master of all our senses. Our every desire becomes meeting the standard the pictures and sounds set before us.
I tell people you are what you put into every hole in your head. If you let something dictate what you should put into every hole in your head, then you are what it wants you to be - it's slave.
After 15 years of no newspaper, no network news, no more categorization of this or that, eventually no more talk radio, I can finally begin to see that there is a light at the entrance of the cave. I have immersed myself in reading and gathering as much information from the internet as well as the classics as I have time to, while away from the master's fields. There have been many nights, sometimes extending into days that I am in a state of mental shock and fearful awe at the truths I have been blessed in seeing. Many times it is the completion of a web of information that is troubling individually, and downright horrifying when the pieces are tied together.
I think I have developed a numbness to those feelings. I'm not saying I can't be scared, I am just a great deal more accepting of the fact that If I want to survive this world, I have to be able to fight to the death without hesitation or remorse to protect what I love, which is my life and the lives of my immediate family.
We can't stop what is happening people. Ron Paul can't stop what is happening. They'd assassinate anyone in a second that stands in the way of their twisted fantasy. That doesn't mean I quit. It means that I can see a great many paths converging toward a huge reset of society and humanity, and when that happens, I can only be prepared to fight on my ground, my level, with the weapons I have. I have and must continue to strengthen my mind, to strengthen my body, and most importantly to strengthen my spirit to face the tempest.
These fools planning whatever the hell on earth they are planning will eventually fail, because like us all, they too are human. And once again men of goodness will rise and the cycle will begin again. Too often we are lured into the belief that we are no longer biological machines living in a world susceptible to the laws of nature. We are at our core rooted into the same basic programming that all of nature is, which is that life forms with the strongest attributes in a particular environment will flourish. These fools will destroy the very environment they are strongest in, and when that happens, I would like to emerge with survivors that are strong in the coming age of this earth.
That is the light at the end of my cave.

Thoughts on Iran
Iran is accountable. Their nation is accountable for taking United States Diplomats hostage 27 years ago. Their nation is accountable for trading arms illegally with corrupt United States politicians in exchange for release of those hostages. Their nation is accountable for rhetoric against the United States over the years that has been threatening against the people of the United States.
Were these the reasons behind the constant, threatening, war-mongering pressures put on Iran by the Bush administration, I could perhaps be more accepting. But they are not. Instead we are faced with another set of weapons of mass destruction excuses by our federal politicians, one of myriad of impossible to believe failures in representing the American people.
I don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons. In fact, I don't want Pakistan to have them either. Most importantly, I don't want Israel to have them. If you want to keep the threat of nuclear war, and possible global annihilation, from starting in the Middle East, then all parties involved must be placed on an even playing field. That arena cannot be everyone has nukes. It must be nobody has nukes. I'm sorry, but I don't care how many Jewish owned banks are in charge of tanking the U.S. economy, we don't owe Israel a dime or a minutes protection.
Isn't it enough that we supply Israel with billions of dollars in aid, as well as our most advanced weaponry, whenever it is called upon? And what have they done with it? Brought America to the brink of total economic collapse, foreign policy collapse, moral collapse, and military collapse. We also have to ensure they have the ability to harass their neighbors with nuclear destruction without the assurance that they too will be destroyed. That's the bully's dream, and the United States supplies it.
The only reason we are in Iraq, that we are going to attack Iran, that we constantly meddle in the affairs of every single Middle Eastern nation is because of Israel. It can't be because of oil. If you think that, then just look at what has happened to the cost per barrel of oil since George the First decided to storm the desert. Before his failure to finish what he started (an amazing trend by our public representatives), oil was below $20 a barrel. now it is over $90. Within one years time we will see gas prices well over five dollars a gallon because of the father and son blunder team. And despite all this, we are still looking to attack yet another Middle Eastern nation. What about Syria, and Egypt, and most recently Turkey. You know these nations must be next, threatening as they are to Israel. The commitment of United States military assets to Israel's machinations, this unfounded belief that their corrupt society somehow still holds a true covenant as God's chosen people, is pitiful. There is no Israel of Moses, Joshua and David anymore. It has succumbed to greed, gluttony, power and corruption. Because of this, God will fulfill the other side of his covenant, the part where Israel loses it all to the benefit of its enemies. If the United States as a nation integrates ourselves into their dealings, then we too will be faced with our destruction.
The days of the United States playing world's policeman are over. It benefited us for a time, and we profited from our muscle for quite some time. But now, no matter who we threaten, attack, befriend, or ignore, the U.S. economy is going to crash big time. Before that happens, we need to be able to defend ourselves here, not in some foreign land, squeezing the last bit of profit for a few elitist nut jobs in charge. That means no more aid to any nation worldwide. That means the United Nations can move elsewhere and pass phony, meaningless resolutions and sanctions. That means the foreign policy of the United States must be based on what is best for the electing people, not the elected poison ivy-leaguers. It means a lot of bad before a lot of good. As has always happened in U.S. history, we will see men of greatness and vision once again arise from the ashes. Perhaps it is you? Perhaps it's expected of me? Whatever the case, it has to happen in the US of A, not in some god-forsaken desert on the other side of the world.

The Government that Hated its People
Once upon a time there was a dream of freedom. It began with a precise and complete declaration - a Declaration of Independence from a maniacal monarchy bent on the enslavement of any and all to appease the lust and gluttony of a very few aristocrats.
That declaration was soon backed by a group of brave men and women willing to lay down their lives to establish their own form of government - a government of themselves, backed by constitutional law, and separated into many layers of power in the form of states united and branches of government in check.
But like all things controlled by men, the trusting fell prey to the greedy time and time again. As wealth was established it soon became consolidated. As one group of enslaved were
"freed", plans to form new principals of enslavement unfolded throughout the generations.
A government founded by people that loved freedom, and through that, loved each other and themselves, brought forth the power for a people to believe in themseslves, and to create and expand their minds as a precursor to their pocketbooks.
And through that, the government loved it's people, for they made the government powerful. And as that power grew in wealth and arms, the greedy looked to takeover that power as part of their gluttony. And the trusting saluted the flags and sang the songs and believed that the government they loved still loved them back.
How tragic a time it is then, when these believers must slowly face the outcome of their trust. Their jobs are sold for pennies to foreigners. Their money and economy is given away to foreign banks and governments. Their morals are divided and destroyed. Their children are sent to war to die, and indebted as if indentured, as are their children and their children for generations to come. Their lands are polluted with foreigners that have no loyalty or care for the lives of the people. And finally, their freedom is destroyed and their lives become property of a maniacal oligarchy bent on the enslavement of any and all to appease the lust and gluttony of a very few aristocrats.
And so they must gather again men and women of bravery and purpose. Men and women willing to declare their independence. Men and women that love their freedom so much that they will demand with their lives that the government they live under will love them as much as they will love it. The people were impassioned, the government hateful of them. But as has happened throughout all of history, every time, the people won out, and destroyed those that would take and not give.
As you read this, ask yourself, are you a giver to this nation, or a taker? You cannot be both, you must decide this instant if you are one or the other. Takers beware, for there will come a time, very soon, when the givers stop giving. Find a big rock, and hide.

And finally, their freedom is destroyed and their lives become property of a maniacal oligarchy bent on the enslavement of any and all to appease the lust and gluttony of a very few aristocrats.
And so they must gather again men and women of bravery and purpose. Men and women willing to declare their independence. Men and women that love their freedom so much that they will demand with their lives that the government they live under will love them as much as they will love it. The people were impassioned, the government hateful of them. But as has happened throughout all of history, every time, the people won out, and destroyed those that would take and not give.
As you read this, ask yourself, are you a giver to this nation, or a taker? You cannot be both, you must decide this instant if you are one or the other. Takers beware, for there will come a time, very soon, when the givers stop giving. Find a big rock, and hide.
