Where We’re Headed…
January 4, 2011
By eric
I have a feeling that Refusenik types like me will be the next crop to be
harvested. (The first being overt “threats” to the government.)
Everything’s already in place; the circle is closing. Soon it will be
impossible to pretend we still live in an even semi-free country.
I try to practice avoidance – for example, not flying anymore to avoid being
scanned/felt up. But I know that eventually, it will be impossible – illegal -
to avoid being scanned (and much else, besides). For example, they are going to
require us all to carry a biometric National ID card – not merely a driver’s
license. Without it, you will be unable to function (legally) and be subject to
arrest merely for going about your peaceful, harming no one else business
without it. Just wait.
The choice will be: Become an outlaw – or submit.
We got a taste of this with gun control laws. The choice was: Comply with “the
law” and render yourself defenseless, or become a Felon Walking for daring to
refuse to comply by retaining a gun for self-defense. People who were harming no
one – and exercising their basic human right to self-defense – were
criminalized at the stroke of a pen.
It was an easier choice to make, though, because as a practical matter your
chances of being caught in defiance of “the law” were very slim and your
illicit possession of a gun would probably only become an issue if you were
forced to use the gun – in which case, better to be alive and dealing with
“breaking the law” than dead but “law-abiding.”
But what happens when “the law” requires everyday, inescapable evidence of
submission and compliance? When you have to submit to a scan/grope before
entering a public building, such as the DMV or a courthouse, say?
“The law” already requires submission to random roadblocks. Is it a stretch
to imagine “the law” will take the next logical step and require us to
submit to scans/gropes at these random roadblocks? What possible argument –
based on existing legal precedent – can be made against it? Everything that
matters has already been conceded. You, as an individual, no longer have any
meaningful 4th Amendment rights when you are in your vehicle or on public roads.
The Supremes have said so. You have given “implied consent” to random stops,
interrogations and de facto searches.
Oh yes, there is still the fiction of probable cause prior to an actual search.
But it is just that – fiction. “Probable cause” amounts to I want to
search your vehicle. Virtually any pretext given after the fact will be
sustained by the Volksgerichthof. Refuse the search and the cops will likely
detain you anyhow – then search you anyway. Ask around. Check out YouTube. See
for yourself. Here are some recent samples:
All it takes is being “uncooperative” – which amounts to such things as
declining to answer the cop’s questions, or – much more dangerous – daring
to question anything he does or demands of you. Do that, and expect the modern
equivalent of a wood shampoo via Tazering.
Imagine what will happen when they scale down the airport scanners and can mount
them in a vehicle – like a cop car. There won’t be any “opting out,”
then.
The point is, we (the lowing, beef-headed, football and celebrity obsessed
oblivions who now constitute a working majority of the Anerican public) have
already conceded the point. Everything that matters has been given up and gone
for years – long before 9/11. In the name of the “war” on drugs, we
accepted outrageous invasions of our private lives. For the sake of “getting
drunks off the road” and “seatbelt safety checkpoints,” we cheered random
dragnets that subject every motorist on the road to an East German Stasi-like
once-over and ihre papierien, bitte!
Safety, safety – always more safety. In exchange for less and less freedom –
and human dignity, too.
No longer can you enter the world as a man (or for that matter, a woman). As
captains of our destinies, masters of our fates – beholden to none, free to go
in peace. And even more important, able to talk back, to refuse, to question –
and to demand to be left in peace if we’re not doing anything to cause harm to
anyone else.
We are all children now – fearful, obedient – and to be punished, if we’re
not.
No freedom to make our own way and depend upon our own good judgment. We will be
told what to do – and how and when. The “why” no longer concerns us.
No more live – and let live.
Submit. Obey.
That is the New American – and the New America.

Another good one I totally agree with, he goes on about cars but this is true
with all of the products on the face of this earth, it's just another type of
"dumbing down."

Plastic and “Planned Obsolescence”

Plastic and “Planned Obsolescence”
Remember “planned obsolescence”? Decades ago – in the ’50s and ’60s
– the car companies were accused of deliberately planning to make new cars old
almost as soon as they were sold – in order to sell more new cars and keep the
production lines humming and the profits coming in. They did this...
CONT.

If you want to legally own a gun move to a state that allows it. Even if
government building get scanners you can always do your business with them
online. If you don't like the government then work to replace them every 2
years. The government is only people we elect to the offices. The government
is not an entity of its own. I believe every elected official should be
replaced every 2 years and I am continually promoting that to everyone I come in
contact with every day.
