Who bans importation of self-defense tools? Dictators! That’s who!

After Senate setback, Obama quietly moving forward with gun regulation – National gun rights | Examiner.com:
http://www.examiner.com/article/after-senate-setback-obama-quietly-moving-forward-with-gun-regulation

Hollywood movies always show you a bad-guy arms dealer, never a good-guy arms dealer.

Well, ask yourself this. When the United States Army was sent by the expansionists in Washington, D.C., to subdue the native Indian populations, what do you call the guys who were selling guns to the Indians?

Remember, the United Nations Treaty did not put restrictions on arms dealings by the governments themselves, especially between governments. This is one of the first United Nations monopoly. International arms dealings by governments only.

We think maybe the only ban on arms dealing should be against governments. But the UN is a club of dictators and softer “democracies” (heh heh) that want to be dictatorships.

Eric Holder‘s Fast and Furious gun brokering for smugglers is now a UN mandate.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

He that liveth by the sword, shall die by the sword.

And he (the Antichrist) shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Why Ron Paul has a claim on his name on the Internet

These guys wanting a quarter million means that the web site means a lot of money for anybody who owns it, BUT I DO think they know that they can never get the use of it, nor get the liberty-message mileage, AND their demand for a quarter million speaks volumes to the FACT that they are VERY MUCH into getting something just for being the first to take advantage of a GOVERNMENT-CREATED monopoly on DNS names and the DNS system for the entire world.

ICANN independent you say, not government? No more than the Federal Reserve, right?

The assumption that somehow Ron Paul is using government force to rob something from somebody that they “homesteaded”. NOT SO!

The DNS system and the government-protected monopoly mandate ICANN has to control the names, is a government “virtual” reality.

That’s why I think eventually Stephen Kinsella may even change his mind about this issue, because I agree with his view that a government-created “virtual” property is a speech-suppressing fiction and distortion on the free market. It’s not a telecommunications monopoly like AT&T was before their breakup, BUT it is a “virtual” monopoly.

He said in one interview that if not for trademark law, Ron Paul would have no basis for a claim.

My answer to that is that without a government protection for the ICANN monopoly, and its de facto control over the names by virtue of an Internet that grew as a government creation instead of “organically” like it was before ARPA “took them over” –whether by intention or by accident. It is also a government so bloated out of proportion to the “free” economy, such as it was, that the thing was warped from the beginning by government presence, because by then it was the biggest thing going in the economy.

When you go to visit somebody in the physical world, you look for what the address is. There is no easy such system for the Internet, and when you “lease” the “rights” to the name before somebody else from this government-created committee, you also implicitly are forced to agree that the same ones who granted this monopoly on the name in the DNS servers across the country, have the right to abide by their own rules, or at least make judgments based on those rules, to give it to somebody else.

In other words, all Internet named addresses have to go to the government-created name clearinghouse before you could get to your address, and they tell your computer where to go.

I’ve seen the mentions of other famous people who could not get sites with their names, BUT the examples I’ve seen are NOT examples that equate AT ALL. billclintonsucks.com is NOT billclinton.com.

Truth is, for awhile there were maverick companies making a bit of money by setting up other primary domains. One of them was dot-info, before the ICANN “approved” it. At the time, anybody with a DNS server on the Internet who wanted to was able to direct traffic that ended in that suffix to that DNS server, or download its name-to-address tables.

So get with it people. I once went to ronpaul-dot-com expecting it to be the good doctor’s own web site, and as soon as I realized it wasn’t I lost interest in it. That’s just me but it is worth something.

But the arguments against Ron Paul getting his name back from the government monopoly on virtual names, well, that’s just fair.

And these guys have apparently done okay by the message, while building a business. But when they say they’re barely “breaking even”, get skeptical, or, if they are barely “breaking even”, then why do they think the name is worth a quarter-million?

I recommend also reading Lew Rockwell’s article on this “controversy”, as he also adds a few facts that were ignored when the story broke. Like for example, the name-grabbers and present “owners” saying Ron Paul was going to the United Nations for this. Somebody picked up on this to go to the utterly ridiculous headlines. It’s a fictitious “ownership” because ICANN ultimately controls the naming anyway, and you have to keep handing them the recognition of the ownership fee annually or it “lapses” to someone else.

So there you go, you think about that.

Thoughts on John Barnes and “Daybreak Zero”

February 14, 2013

This is mostly a reaction to reading a semi-leftist viewpoint of the novel:

http://opionator.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/daybreak-zero-by-john-barnes

You can’t trust international courts any more than local courts, in fact much less. The temptation of money and power is relentless on the human psyche, and trusting others to conform to rules for respecting individual rights is naive at best, and at worst makes one the “useful idiot” Lenin was talking about, like I used to be as a Communist. Trusting the totalitarian state to fade away when it’s no longer needed, as Karl Marx said it, is a stupid idea that too many smart people fall far (yep, even me).

I don’t know of even one libertarian who advocates castle feudalism along the lines of the ones John Barnes describes in this novel “Daybreak Zero“, and I know a great many of them. That kind of thing is more of a United Nations idea, a subtext in authoritarian world government. The United Nations’ advocacy of “human rights” is an oxymoron, as proven in the unanimous vote against Honduras in 2009, when its government (remember, legislatures and courts are also “the government” along with the executive, in republics) did the right thing and constitutionally removed a dictator and auto-coup president (Manuel Zelaya). And as proven in the chairmanship of their human rights advocacy organization going to Sudan, the genocidal regime that massacred two million Christians in South Sudan before the world took notice –of Darfur.

Libertarians know that trade without coercion is the path to prosperity for the most people possible and is best for the poor.

My beef with the novel is that almost all the speculation about Christians is the post-Tribulation “theocracy” stereotype. There are all too many of them today that feed that stereotype, and there is a Christian media establishment lock-down similar to the leftist lock-down on most traditional media. But there would be millions of unsung Christians that would be more visible in such disasters by rushing to help the hurting. They are more than the unfair caricature often painted out there. The obsession with the Torquemada type is a denial mechanism to divert from the Mother Theresa types and the Doctor Livingston types.

Another common flaw in almost all post-apocalyptic novels is the subtle idea in the background that civilization can only be “saved” by some political authority.

But Ron Paul has made Christian libertarians much more visible. We are nothing like Ayn Rand, who carried a brutal bitterness throughout her life apparently against God, and blaming God for the devil’s handiwork. And an Ayn Rand libertarian might well be in practice more like a castle feudalist in the kind of context of a post-Daybreak world.

The book is impoverished for that but John Barnes is a pretty good writer, in my opinion, communicating things as he sees them. To me his writing is more engaging than Clarke’s or Asimov.

The main flaw in almost all post-apocalyptic novels is the subtle idea in the background that civilization can only be “saved” by some political authority.

Health care institutions collecting your info to “protect the president”?

December 8, 2012

Thank you to Doug Hagmann, who wrote this article:

Health info collected to “protect the president”:

http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/51564

One alert mother read the fine print on a permission form she signed for a medical procedure, and it contained the following:

The paragraph subheading reads “National Security”, and declares they may disclose your health information to federal officials for “intelligence and national security activities authorized by law”. What law?

The form was dated 2003, but a bit of investigative research by this author resulted in the admission by a legal representative of the health services company that changes are made in the form as recently as 2012, but without changing that date on the form. In other words, the date on the form is totally useless non-information.

The author then located a source associated with a local medical facility where he has had a long relationship and found that they too had identical language in their own privacy forms they have patients sign off on.

That means it’s a mandate. And the language is wide open for anything they want to get. This is a blatant, in-your-face unconstitutional break in the Fourth Amendment, not even an attempt to run around it. They get to look at all the medical records they want to at any time, the IRS being master snoopers they will enforce compliance now (mind you, to “protect the president”), and mind you also this is a president that has a kill list.

It has been said that President Nixon had an enemies list, now Obama has a kill list.

The Secret Service now prohibits free speech inside arbitrary zones where the president happens to be, no doubt usually safely outside the concentration of cameras that follow the Chief Executive around.

So we have self-written warrants (no judge), free speech suppression, a kill list, indefinite detention, a president going to war without even pretending to inform the Congress (much less ask for a constitutional declaration) –but asking permission of the United Nations, who denies protection for ambassadors in the hottest war zones where al-Qaeda dominate.

That last one is a doozy. Appointing an open homosexual to an ambassadorship in a Muslim nation (Libya) known for Muslim radicalism and where al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood dominate the militia that have control of the country, and then sending him to talks with the worst of them to recruit them for another new American surrogate war in Syria!

Recruiting from the same crowd guys they recruited for Afghanistan! For the same religious wars theme. Here they roundly and soundly condemn so self-righteously any Christian pastor that burns a Koran or an Egyptian Christian that supposedly made an anti-Muslim video, and sending a “gay” guy to talk the Muslim radicals into another religious war in Syria.

That religious war in Syria, by the way, where Muslims are killing Christians in big scale, sometimes yelling “Die, Christian pig, die!” And of course the Allawites, non-Muslims also but with Islamic influences.

Maybe Assad’s big sin was allowing a movie about the early Christian churches‘ history in Syria to play in the theaters across the land, another under-reported story in the West.

(See you read my blog to the end and get important factoids seen almost nowhere else, eh?)

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. – Proverbs 29:2

 

IBD: Scapegoating Clapper only keeps Benghazi-gate going

Coverup meets exposure: “Dr. Coburn and Senator Obama look over the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act” (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Elsewhere in the news, Benghazi-gate is not going away, as the story at Investors’ Business Daily points out:

http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/112012-634215-blaming-intel-chief-wont-end-benghazigate.htm

Some Republicans may play along with their normal week squeaky protests against abuses of power in the White House, some will not.

They got a scapegoat but the White House still went for duck and cover behind the skirts of the United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, who is now caught with her hands in the cookie jar, but she was taking cookies for her boss! She was no doubt hoping for a good helping of promotion.

They let her go out there and blame free speech for the seven-hour full pitched battle in Benghazi –that they watched in real-time in the White House– in which there were so many attackers that the very capable American soldiers were not able to last longer than that.

What demonstration lasts seven hours with bullets and rockets and mortar fire flying all over the place?

How much is too much? When is enough, enough already!

With the re-appointment of Obama by powers unseen, and the help of Propaganda Media, they got him past the election and avoided very much scrutiny over the different places where election fraud apparently occurred. But it is a sign of the times that things have gotten so bad in America that people are able to see this as a credible election outcome.

But the coverups in the government-media complex expose an ugly underbelly here, and the way this re-election operation was executed shows a bit of hubris, in that they now know they have a major portion of the demographic, if not the majority, that they can count on to turn their thinking on a dime without really thinking [oxymoron intended] in true Big Brother fashion.

Those who can see –because they have their eyes open– have an obligation to spread the truth and repeat the truth because truth is the best antidote to a lie. You don’t need tricks and lies and coverups if you’re telling the truth. Those who don’t want the truth are like the guy who said, “Stop it! Don’t confuse me with the facts!”

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:10

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. – 2 Timothy 3:13

IT’s time for those who can prepare materially for what is inevitably coming to do so, and those who cannot to make sure they are prepared mentally, psychologically, with the knowledge of what is happening, and most importantly, spiritually.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. – Hosea 4:6

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, [many] days. — Daniel 11:33

But even of the Antichrist, remember:

And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. – Daniel 11:45

Watch out for 666, avoid the embedded chip…

What’s so big and new and dangerous about Obama’s regime?

November 2, 2012

 

Everybody knows I have blown the whistle on our esteemed leaders of BOTH parties and their warmongering ways, and their murders, but there are some really big differences with this regime.

I don’t trust Romney and might not vote for him but with Obama we have a MAJOR slide into the abyss of no return.

(1) On the Kill List, this is the first president that has BRAGGED about it.

(2) This is the first administration that had a Defense Minister (they should be honest and change the name back to War Ministry) that testified –TESTIFIED– to Congress ON THE RECORD– that they don’t need to ask permission from Congress to go to war, BUT they DO need to get permission from the United Nations. From the club of unelected dictators!

(3) This is the first administration that signed a law into effect that supposedly “authorizes” the president to order killings on anybody along with indefinite detention of anybody he personally decides is a threat to national security. Anybody.

(4) This is the president that took over two major industries that heretofore were in the private domain, the automobile industry and the medical industry.

(5) This is the first administration that pushed a law that commands every citizen, like it or not, religious objection or not, to buy a product that 70 percent of the people hate.

(6) This is the first president that DOUBLED the national debt, meaning he has pushed an expansion of national debt more that ALL THE PRESIDENTS OF AMERICAN HISTORY COMBINED.

(7) He has BLATANTLY, in a manner that we call “in your face”, directly disobeyed court orders to open up offshore drilling. Twice.

(8) His administration killed an open and closed case against members of the “New Black Panther Party” in a real-world case of voter suppression, that had won several court decisions.

(9) He refused to defend a high-profile law passed by Congress. It was the one relating to marriage, but who is he to decide what laws to defend or not, outside the veto power. He did not have that power over it.

(10) He multiplied the personal presidential dictatorial clout, bypassing the constitutional legislature vetting process by appointing more czars with near-cabinet level power than any other president in history.

(11) He pushed for power for the Muslim Brotherhood across northern Africa, and put Christian lives in danger, with scores of them them already dead. Jimmy Carter set a precedent for this when he pushed moderate Muzorewa out of the way to let the butcher socialist Mugabe take power, BUT THIS TIME THOUSAND OF BLACKS ARE MURDERED IN LIBYA by the ones Obama pushed into power.

(12) And they have come back to bite him in the rear with Bengazi-gate, in which he exposed his own administration’s push to expose official Americans to danger.

(13) Remember his 2008 promise to build a “civilian security force” that would get just as much funding and as much equipment and clout as the military? In other words, a police state to rival the military? He hasn’t done it yet, but then again he couldn’t make it blatant and formal, presumably because they are waiting for the right time, and they’re not sure they can keep a lid on Americans. Second amendment and all that….

(14) His administration not only pushed guns to one of the most murderous gangs in the world, they were exposed

 

Desperate Argentina Now Seen Begging for Oil Investment

May 13, 2012
Lí­mite Chile/Argentina en el paso del Bermejo...

Lí­mite Chile/Argentina en el paso del Bermejo – paso Iglesia (Photo credit: Flodigrip’s world)

Cristina Fernandez has nationalized the Spanish-owned Argentinian oil company YPF by seizing (you can call it “stealing”) 51% of the stock without agreement by the ownership and apparently without any compensation whatsoever. The justification was that their exploitation of newly discovered vast oil fields was not developed fast enough. Call that an “ex post facto” immeasurable requirement.

The Daily Bell – Desperate Argentina Now Seen Begging for Oil Investment:
http://www.thedailybell.com/3875/Desperate-Argentina-Now-Seen-Begging-for-Oil-Investment

The article at the Daily Bell is an insight to the likely consequences of this, and they expound on it using an analysis from Merco Press on the subject.

Argentina realizes it does not have the wherewithal to exploit these resources, and has now made a formal request (“invitation”) for American companies to invest. And using the venue of State Department facilities in Washington, D.C. to do it!

Wait, there’s a wrench in the works, a fly in the soup: the former owners of the stock threaten any investor with legal action.

Venezuela‘s oil fields were already owned by the Venezuelan state, nationalized by previous president Perez. When Chavez fired the entire executive team at PDVSA and placed his own political cronies in charge, the workers’ union went on strike and so he fired every single worker. (What’s that about the workers’ rights under socialism?)

So in Chavez’ actions did not have the repercussions that the seizure of an oil company may have in Argentina in today’s world. The world has changed since Fidel Castro seized the oil companies operating in Cuba.

Maybe companies will start costing insurance against nationalization in their cost-benefit and risk-benefit calculations, when they invest in nations with questionable economic or political regimes.

It’s not surprising that some years ago a United Nations document was uncovered in which plans are described to require that nations contribute to a fund to compensate companies that suffer from riots and government policies where they decide to invest.

Maybe we should instead make them pay the piper for dealing with thieves.

(Not that they are innocent from using their own political influences for gain)

Helping Koreans in the North

The Economist has an article advocating meaningful action to help the North Koreans, especially from China, still oppressed by a brutal dictatorship:

http://www.economist.com/node/21553029

But would they omit the effective and well-known work of Helping Hands Korea, led by Tim Peters, missionary and father married to a Korean national?

http://www.helpinghandskorea.org/

He works with refugees from the North, works with North Koreans still in the North, and regards his advocacy activities as a mission field, just as William Wilberforce in 18th and 19th century Britain made of abolishing slavery. He helps to organize a new “Underground Railroad” to help their escape to freedom, supports those who decide to go back into North Korea with the politically liberating message of the Gospel, and testifies before the U.S. Congress, European parliamentary bodies and United Nations agencies to encourage more action.

Ron Paul, Evangelicals, Jerusalem, the American Embassy, and anti-Zionists

April 22, 2012
The Ron Paul blimp.

The Ron Paul blimp. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Jeremy Hammond laments what he calls a “change” in Ron Paul‘s position toward Israel, when he told some Christian leaders he could support a move of the American embassy to Jerusalem because that’s what Israel wants, pointing out that the U.S. would not like it if other nations suddenly declared they were moving their embassies to New York or somewhere else.

But that’s because he doesn’t understand Ron Paul and he doesn’t have a sufficiently “rational” or “objective” view about just one of the issues that relates to Israel. It looks like he just links up with anything that the Controlled Media tells him is “anti-Zionist” and doesn’t like anything else.

But he does temper the hit at the end with the recognition of his position on foreign aid.

http://middleeastatemporal.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/has-ron-paul-sold-out-to-israeli-lobby/

Paul first made this position known Wednesday night, during a private meeting with evangelical leaders interested in helping the Texas Congressman reach out to the conservative Christian community.

According to a transcript of the meeting obtained by Business Insider, the leaders started off the meeting by asking Paul whether he would sign an Executive Order to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a major policy objective for Israeli hardliners and many leaders in the Christian Right.

“The real issue here is not what America wants, but what does Israel want,” Paul told evangelical leaders, according to a transcript of the meeting obtained by Business Insider. “If Israel wants their capital to be Jerusalem, then the United States should honor that.” 

“How would we like it if some other nation said ‘We decided to recognize New York City as your capital instead, so we will build our embassy there?’” he added. 

Even Paul’s senior campaign aides were surprised by his response.

“We were floored,” senior advisor Doug Wead told Business Insider. “It sounds like pure Ron Paul, but it still caught us off guard…If someone would have asked him that in a national debate, I suppose it would have popped right out, but nobody did!”

Ron Paul’s position is PERFECTLY consistent with previous views NOT a change, Zionist anti-Paul propaganda notwithstanding. While what you are saying is true of the history of the ethnic cleansing that took place at the hand of the Irgun and the Stern Gang, the United States should not be telling the world what to do, but to recognize the de facto reality is another story. Should the United States move its embassy from Beijing to Taipei? Should it move its embassy

He was also recorded in an interview saying he thought the conditions in the Gaza Strip were comparable to those of a concentration camp, and he has been obviously rejected by most hard-line Zionists while some have become enthusiastic over his emphasis on letting Israel determine its own course, and ending the practice by American presidents of telling them what to do.

You expose the bankruptcy of your own grasp of the situation, so gullible, by appealing to one declaration after another of the United Nations, and not because they have denounced Israel, though some of those declarations equating Zionism with human rights abuses expose the hypocrisy of the nations that stone women for adultery (but not the men) and cut the hands of thieves and put Muslims who embrace Jesus Christ in prison.

The United Nations condemned Honduras for defending itself against a presidential auto-coup by one dictator Manuel Zelaya, who instead of dissolving Congress simply ignored them, and instead of dissolving the courts said he didn’t have to obey any “juecesitos” (“pipsqueak judges”), and took international money for the poor and paid off politicians to support his fraudulent “survey” that would presumably consolidate his coup or get the UN to back his reinstatement.

Hypocrite anti-Yankee Zelaya in fact demanded that the gringos put him back in power after his constitutional removal. Take the UN and stuff it. It’s the infrastructure they’re using to build up the government of the oncoming world dictatorship.

The guy has proven consistent, there’s no reason to doubt him this time, instead of knee jerk reaction you forget this is the guy who will cut off official aid to Israel along with cutting off aid to every other country, THANK GOD finally, freeing nations of the corruption of foreign aid. And you KNOW he will work to do what he says, as he has been all along.

A Ugandan reporter’s reaction to the “Invisible Childrens” campaign

March 10, 2012

Kony2012; My response to Invisible Children’s campaign. « Rosebell’s Blog:
http://rosebellkagumire.com/2012/03/08/kony2012-my-response-to-invisible-childrens-campaign/

Like I said, that video was suspicious. To me it was suspicious mostly because of the last few minutes and seconds of it where the narrator demanded intervention by American advisers to snatch Joseph Kone and take him to the International Court.

I was also suspicious because this video came by way of Grace Hill Media, an organization that purports to promote Christian movies and entertainment.

A call to use more American troops to enforce a United Nations order?

Why should Christians support a build-up of the world government that will put the Beast in power? American troops have done plenty enough of that already, and they are already teaching kids in school that US interventions have been done with permission of the UN as if it were already a de facto government.

That’s prepping us. Eventually they will turn that theme against the US itself.

Of course the United States is no longer a Christian nation but Christians need to wake up out of their stupor.

Christians in their pews need to stand up and demand that their pastors stand up against getting recruited to spy on their congregations.

Romans 13, like Chuck Baldwin has pointed out, includes that admonition to obey the laws of the land not only because they have more guns (“not only for wrath”) but also “for conscience sake”, meaning you have to measure that obedience against God‘s will and God’s word.

In other words it’s an expansion of what Jesus Christ told his disciples in Matthew 18 when the tax collectors came knocking. He illustrated the corruption of the taxing laws and the people who work getting them (“Do their children pay?”) but told the apostles to pay the tax just to get them off their back (“Notwithstanding, lest we offend them”).
