Misc Files - Culture Warrior

Culture Warrior

Hatred is spread through bigoted eyes
One day, however, they'll swallow their lies
Our culture is wounded but hope's still in sight
Stand firm with your brothers, truth as your light
A challenge issued, please answer it son
Join your countrymen, united as one
Be now a hero, united you'll win
Resisting oppression, rise up again
Not all must be fought with bullet and gun
Freedom of spirit must inside be won
I'll see it shine as I look in your eyes
You're steady and true, our nation wont die
Proudly you'll stand free with virtue and might
You're ready to claim your noble birthright
Protect your freedom with resolve of steel
And to all those liars, dont ever kneel.

Agenda Files - Get on the Stick, Stomp Real ID

Got your thumb print always with me
Got your barcode memorized
They came here to electroshock me
But can they erase you from my mind?
- Cold Machines, Alice Cooper

Yes it's true I haven't ranted for a while. I has more to do with lack of time in front of a computer than lack of interest. However, it seems that something needs to be brought to the attention of the masses. There are those who either are ready to capitulate or who do not seem to be informed enought to care about the issue of Real ID. If things remain as they are, it could be disasterous for the cause of freedom. So what exactly is Real ID? People who would have you believe it to be inoccuous would tell you it's a new security measure that would make it harder for illegals and terrorists to travel in the US. What it really is, though is altogether different.
First of all it's a really expensive unfunded federal mandate...
It will cost over 23 billion (yes billion, a number I have trouble contemplating) dollars to enact. The states will need to fund most of the cost, some of it will be passed on to Joe Taxpayer by charging more moola to get a new driver's license.

It is a Bad Idea, Identity-wise...
Think about this. Every time someone handles your proprietary information, the chances for abuse increase. In order to get a Real ID card the DMV will have to make digital copies of your ID Documents such as your birth certificate, your SSAN, etc. What a smorgasboard for any DMV worker who is also an identity thief...or anyone who has the knowhow to hack into the DMV database. SO many databases so little time...all it takes is one breach...you are now public...Now back to the DMV, where your information will be placed in a chip and inserted into your ID card. Anyone who has had their Identity stolen via skimming their credit card can attest to how easy this ID card could be skimmed. What a disaster!!!!
A REAL threat to Freedom...
Reread that last paragraph. Your information goes into a chip and inserted into your ID card. This is a national ID card with a computer chip. This is akin to the mark of the beast people!! Now if you dont know what computer chips in things are capable of doing... check this site out...and this one while you are at it. If you read this information, you will see how much of your personal life is already in the hands of people you did not give access. With a spy chipped ID card, you could be tracked anywhere you went, located through a GPS system. False information could be placed there by someone who hated you and wanted to ruin your life. Information about UN PC political beliefs or religious beliefs could be inserted to mark you as a 'person of interest' to the government. You think John Lennon was harassed?
NOW, What should we do about it?
- For one thing we should stand with the states who have passed legislation rejecting it. This is what the states are supposed to do. Such a plan is not constitutional, first of all.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Consitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (Amendment 10 of the US Constitution)
SC understands this and passed legislation outlawing it. Click the link and read it. Then contact your state congressmen and show your support for the legislation. If you are from SC, like me, you can contact your state congress via these links
Also, let Gov Sanford know exactly how much you appreciate the stand he has taken on this issue. He's standing out there, protecting us, and he's feeling the heat from people in high places. Call him and let him know he was right and to stick with it. 803-734-2100
-Next, you can learn what is at stake. There are plenty of things available to read on the topic of personal freedom, however, the last half of America, Freedom to Facism puts it in understandable terms. I have a link to the DVD in the left column, beneath my weatherpixie and the quote from William Seward. Get it and watch it. Then you will know what is going on.
- Thirdly, you can prepare for the worst. This is a hill worth dying on. This is an issue worth rebellion over. This is the modern day issue which would divide the United States if it isn't fixed; if the government doesn't back down and the states step up, you can see how a division might occur. Divisions are either solved by treaties or war. A treaty with a government which felt it was right to computer chip your driver's license would be tenuous and possibly meaningless. Of course going to war is not something to take lightly, but do you really want people like Janet Reno knowing exactly where your kids are at all times? Of course not, no reasonable person would. Pray for peace, yes, but be prepared. Everyone has to go back to the DMV by 2013, you know.
- Succumb to fun stupidity once in a while. For instance, this poll from the State newspaper. Do you believe that SC should stick to it's guns and ignore the Unfunded Federal Mandate for Real ID...Vote Here!! It might not be official, but people see it. Any publicity is publicity.

Pro Patria Files - Independence!!

I'm not really writing anything, more like I'm redirecting your attention to something you should read. It starts with this....


LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH NEWS SERVICE
18 February 2007
For Immediate Release

On Monday, 18 February 2008, Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica
announced: “The South Carolinians are now independent.” Over the weekend, the
people of South Carolina, led by The League of the South, announced their
State’s independence from Washington, DC. Suspense gripped the world’s newest
country as it waited for international backing for its move to independence. In
a televised interview, Kostunica said that “South Carolina’s independence is
something that I’ve advocated, along with my government.” In light of U. S.
President George Bush’s refusal to recognize South Carolina’s independence,
Serbia’s foreign minister issued a statement, saying: “Serbia calls on all
parties to exercise the utmost restraint and to refrain from any provocative
act.” He also noted that his country “has long believed that independence for
the Southern States was the best way to protect the Southern way of life and
culture and to promote true representative government on the North American
continent.”



SC hasn't actually declared independence yet...to my knowledge...but if the shrub can back the Serbs, it is only logical he shouldn't have anything negative to say if we declared our independence. I'd read the whole article, it says everything that needs to be said.

Non Placit Files - Poll Watching

I went and voted in the SC Republican Primary on Saturday. I also was a poll watcher in the Lexington county precinct of Town of Pine Ridge (yeah, that's the name of the precinct on my voter regi card). It was cold and damp, and it's something I'm glad I did.

Let me say for the record that the people who ran the polls were good people. They wanted to and in general did follow all the rules for polling. They accomodated people as much as they legally could, they answered questions, they called the voter registration office when there were problems, they took the voting machines to handicapped voters and refused to let more than one person at a machine at a time. They verified the information the correct way. They even made sure not to put the key into the machine until the next voter was ready to prevent extra votes from sneaking in.

These individuals were professional (if there is such a thing in this situation), kind, open, honest and hardworking. They seemed to know most of the voters and had good raport with them. I have absolutely no complaints about the way things were conducted while the polls were open, not a single thing went wrong.

However, all the best laid plans of mice and men....

When it was time for the polls to close, only one machine had anything close to the correct time and therefore only one machine would close out the way it was supposed to. It was cold, and if anyone can remember, threatening to ice. The poll workers would have been in danger of having an accident if they waited for the machines to close out before taking them to Lexington, so they did what they should have done. They called Lexington. Lexington instructed them to tear down the machines as is and take them there ahead of the ice. Lexington would be able to close them down then because the time on the machine would have passed 700pm. So that is what they did.

Before they left we counted the signatures. We had 649. It was a decent turnout considering the weather. There were also 20 absentee ballots which were going to be opened and counted in Lexington. The official tally as of Monday varies from the numbers I have. Ron Paul's people called me to verify the signatures, so I gave them not just the numbers, but on which papers they had used to sign in (so many on the a-d page, etc).

The descrepancy in this precint was less than ten votes. But this is a small precinct. How or when did those votes get there? Well, since they weren't closed out until they went to Lexington, that would be my guess.

No, I do not believe that the poll workers in Pine Ridge had anything to do with that. The head of the operation was genuinely upset that she could not close out the machines in Pine Ridge and run the tape there to have the proof that our machine was working properly. The votes in the machine would have matched the signatures and all would have appeared right with the world (except that we all know these machines can and have been programmed in the past to switch the votes). The poll workers in Lexington might not even have done anything incorrect. It could have been programmed to add extra votes. Who is going to worry about five or six extra votes?

The events of that night should distress everyone. If the machines were programmed to say the incorrect time, were they programmed that way so that in large precincts where there were many machines, people could vote before or after the polls closed without it being caught? If the machines were programmed this way, were they programmed so that the poll managers would have to run the machines to the central location where some secret vote fraud could be initiated? And if this happened and for the most part nothing went wrong, one would assume that situations with obvious tampering would instead be computer glitches and such?

And what was that mess in Horry County?

How is it that we could call the primary in SC when so many irregularities occured?

I hope everyone realises that the SC state constitution mandates a paper ballot. There has to be a record of the actual, legitimate, accurate vote as opposed to what machines spit out. There was no way of knowing if anything untoward was going on during the SC election while it was happening. We know a lot of things went wrong in retrospect.

We need to demand our constitutional right to a paper ballot. If you want to use the machines and then count the paper to verify the numbers that's fine, but don't rely solely on a machine programmed by people from outside the state who might have a vested interest in what happened in our primary. People who wrote the constitutions (SC and US) were not stupid. In fact they were very smart.

Happy New Year and All that Happy Garbage

I have been following the elections with intrigue. I've become aware of some things which disturb me greatly and I'd like to pass them along to you. There is no song cause there isn't a song fit to print for my feelings right now.

Well, we all know that there are several dark horse candidates, or so called, in the primary. We all know that the media polls likely voters, registered voters and all sorts of people to get a handle on who is going to vote and exactly how they might do so. Supposedly Hillary wasn't doing so good, and suddenly she wins NH? The press whine about how inaccurate the polls are. That might be one explanation. There is another which is rather disturbing.

And it is more obvious on the Republican side of things. It concerns Ron Paul and possible voter fraud. Before someone goes and spouts the usual crap about how he can't win and this followers are a bunch of loonies on the fringe of things as usually gets reported, lets not let our opinions about any candidate skew our views of the election process.

It does not matter if the candidate in question was a member of a whacko communist group, an anarchist, a facist, or in need of psychotropic drugs. That is hardly the point. The point is that people are supposed to cast a ballot for the candidate of preference and have that vote counted counted once. Not twice, not ignored, one man/woman one vote.

The fiasco in Fla during the last presidential election has paved the way for more intense, sneakier and harder to track voter fraud because people seem to think that we can trust the information sector and modern technology to take care of us. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Diebold, the company which makes many of the voting machines, has programmed the machines to throw elections. The fraud can be written right into the code of these things. Take a gander here. I don't claim to understand all that mumbo jumbo, but it's clear the person created a program that could throw an election.

Now, with that in mind... please visit these websites...

1. Did Ron Paul truly lose?

2. NH is using Diebold...

3. Not all votes were counted and it was TOO OBVIOUS...

4. You might want to check out the differences in votes cast with hand count vs machine.

Now what does that mean for the democrats? Good question. I know one thing. If I were Obama, I would not have conceeded that election to Hillary right off. The polls were spot on with their predictions with everyone but Hillary and Barack. How is that possible? Because she cried on tv? Not sure that bird flies with me.

Who do you think is doing this? In the case of Hillary and Obama, I have no clue unless Obama is not a member of the CFR. In the case of the Republicans? Most likely one world wing nuts who want to keep people like Paul out of office.

What to do? Of course one of the best things to do is to make a big stink as best you can, and I have another suggestion. Become a poll watcher. Pick your candidate, the one you want to win and watch the polls for them. It's actually a very important thing to do if you think about it.

You wear a badge saying you're with a certain candidate, they let you see which voters have voted and you check them against your list. This means you get to see how many of the registered voters who have declared themselves for your candidate have not yet voted. The idea is that you can call and remind them to vote and most watchers offer babysitting or rides if the person can't get out. Once the people have voted, they check in with you to verify that they have voted for your candidate (or state that they have changed their mind).

This way when your candidate ends up with NO votes, you have proof otherwise. This way when more people vote in a district than are registered, you have proof.

Hey I'm not asking you to vote for MY candidate, just help me make sure if MY candidate loses, it's a fair loss. Call your candidate's campaign and get involved.

Credenda Files - Why it Can't Be Fixed, Part 8

Old-school fascism is on the rise
Narsissistic... Evangelistic...
So many things are only here to be hated
No need for love when the world is sedated
Beautiful to be the Joker
Cursed by an all-to human future
The world burns with death as a lover
It's systematic for the coming new order
- Kovenant "New World Order"

10. Throw Away Sovereignty


It seems that our fearless leaders who hang out around the beltway seem to believe that it's not a good thing to be a US citisen anymore. It's far better, evidently, to be subject to a universal, world organisation. And they haven't even chosen or invented a good one to hand national sovereignty to, they've decided the United Nations is the one world organisation of choice.

I could give reasons based on creditials alone as to why this particular body would not be a good choice even if forking over national sovereignty actually WAS a good idea. Honestly, has this body ever done anything right? Where are the WMD that the UN was supposedly wanting to monitor in Iraq? The UN never said they were disappearing, they just whined what they couldn't look at them. UN sanctions against "rogue nations" have never worked. The body is rife with scandal, mismanagement and violations of it's own laws. It sucks up money from it's members (or the ones who pay them anyway) and deliver very little back to them. WHO ON EARTH would want this brain trust in charge of anything!!

However, that's not what has me irritated. I don't believe forking over national sovereignty is a good idea in the first place. I have several fairly old articles posted explaining how things related to the UN undermine said sovereignty. These would be CEDAW, , the creation of world heritage sites , Conference on Human Settlements , the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. These articles explain in detail why each of these things are a bad idea and what it would mean to the United States if they were applied to citisens here. And just because I've not said anything at Screw the UN recently does not mean threats have disappeared. They haven't.

Today's threat Du Jour...H.R. 2421, "Clean Water Restoration Act." But wait, isn't that federal legislation, not a UN treaty? Oh, but don't run off so fast, lately things are never what they seem. According to this Act, water is very important. (Um, duh.) This legislation claims to Sounds good so far. It protects intrastate waters and "OTHER WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES." (always get suspicious of government paperwork which has the word "other" in it. It's a frivolous term used to mean "everything else I can think of" or "whatever we decide later") The legislation does attempt to define these "other waters" and here is what our hacks have come up with...

"All waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide, the territorial seas, and all interstate and intrastate waters and their tributaries, including lakes,rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands,sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, natural ponds, and all impoundments of the foregoing, to the fullest extent that these waters, or activities affecting these waters, are subject to the legislative power of Congress under the Constitution."

Now, what word DON'T you see in this lovely masterpiece of legal mumbo jumbo? Well I suppose fishtank isn't in there and neither is bathtub, but those aren't what I was thinking about. The important word missing is "navigable." See, water that can't support ships and stuff has always been the property owner's property to do with what he or she likes, that's the way previous legislation has always defined it. Standing water, farm ponds, sink holes and such are automatically private property cause, well you can't run a ship through it.

This bill has nothing to do with making sure we have safe drinking water for all the people and animals that depend on it. It's about restricting land use. It used to be said that if a person had a large puddle on their property and the government wanted your land it would be labelled a "wetland" and had to be protected...Now the government doesn't need to contort itself that much. Your mud puddle, creek, personal swamp, whatever, are "other waters of the United States."

Now, in case you think you're lost, you're really not. So far I have not mentioned the UN. This, so far, has ended State Sovereignty and Private Property rights if the government so chooses to exercise the power vested in this abominable legislation. That is bad enough. However, there is more.

There is the "LAW OF THE SEA TREATY." (aka as LOST). The Law of the Sea Convention is a set of rules for the use of the world’s oceans, which cover 70 percent of the earth’s surface and a treaty resulted in 1982. To date 154 countries and the European Community have joined. So far the US has not joined this treaty. At the time Reagan was in power and refused to sign the abomination. He even fired people for suggesting he do so. Eventually Clinton did sign it, but the Senate has refused (so far) to ratify it.

If we did we would be subject to the UN Court and UN rules about various things including fishing, environmental protections, and navigation. IF the US Senate ratifies LOST and HR 2421 kicks in, the United Nations will in effect have jurisdiction over our private property. Remember how inclusive the "other waters of the United States" can be. You really want some uneducated nutcase from some minor third world nation telling you what to do with the sink hole in your backyard?

I don't but evidently a whole bunch of people do because I haven't seen much outcry about this legislation at all. Perhaps the erosion of personal privacy rights, the erosion of states rights and the coming of the one world new world order is so much old news that people just fail to get riled up anymore. The fact that so many think it's hopeless shows that the system is broken. If it weren't don't you think more people would be trying to fix it? People who know better need to get ready to leave the Union now. Secession is the only way to stop this sort of nonsense.

Credenda Files - Why It Cant Be Fixed, part 7

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
- Three Days Grace

9. Oh How I Hate You:

Did you know that it's becoming a crime in the US to actually "hate" someone? Ok, lets be clear, we're not supposed to do that and we all know it. Honestly which individual thinks hatred is ok, I really want to meet him?! Every major religion teaches that hatred is wrong and even most atheists don't like the idea. It's hurtful toward others, it's a useless emotion which messes up your insides and does really wierd crap to your mental health, and serves no good purpose at all. Yeah, it's bad, but should it be a crime?

Superficially perhaps it makes sense. I'm one of those who doesn't agree with the whole concept of being homosexual for many reasons...some sacred, some logical. However, a living human being is a living human being with certain rights protected by the same constitution that protects my own. As a human, this person, regardless of what I think of his or her morality or his or her thought processes, is as valuable to God, society and his/her family as I am to my own. I don't have the right to do anything to hurt this person, period.

However, there are some stupid and morally bankrupt individuals that seem to think that attacking, hurting, vandalising or otherwise terrorising homosexuals will cause them to either rethink their position or...go away. I shouldn't have to explain why this is wrong to anyone over the age of four. However, I also shouldn't have to explain why it's no more "evil" for a person who hates gays to steal, vandalise, kill, beat up or harass a homosexual than it is for someone who has no opinion on the matter or one who would normally be in favour of the practice to do the same thing. In the end, the person has been stolen from, vandalised, killed or brutilized in some fashion.

Having extra time, extra punishment or extra laws targeting said criminals will not cause them to pause and say...oh, well I can't hurt anyone now because I hate gays and now there's a hate crimes law and I'm gonna get extra time for this. Criminals are criminals because they believe they have the right to operate outside the law.

Differences in the severity of punishments only matter for people who are "considering" becoming a criminal or for people who have to make tough decisions about what they believe. (Ie, like myself. I believe the income tax is bogus and don't believe it's wrong to protest by not paying. However, with children at home I don't think going to jail is a good option right now. So I pay anyway, it's convenient. However, if the penalty was a fine I could afford, I might not pay income taxes.)

But, as with all sneaky government powergrabbing bull hockey, these hate crimes laws are not designed to protect homosexuals or blacks or whites or hindus from people who just don't like them very much. These laws are actually designed to water down the First Amendment. Right now, we have the freedom to condemn any practice we wish from the pulpit of whatever religion we choose. We can print opinion material about anyone's political, social or religious beliefs or philosophies. The state can't interfere with our rights to do that. However...

If those who promote "hate crimes" legislation have their way, certain speech would become a "hate crime." Is this really what you want? Do you want history to be glossed over in a politically correct manner because some people are offended by what happened? Do you want colleges to be unable to teach certain material because it offends a group of people or another? You want politicians jailed for "thinking" the wrong way? You want pastors, imams and rabbis in jail for pointing out what they believe is a sin? Most US citisens would blanch at such ideas.

But this is where the "hate crimes" law process goes. Look at Europe. Anything written or spoken in public discourse which could even remotely be construed as "inciting hatred" of a given group can be condemned and prosecuted through these laws. Womens rights groups could prosecute anyone who believes in gender roles. People taught erroneous things about history could subjugate those who want to tell the truth.

To make matters worse, the congress is twisting the commerce clause of the constitution in order to justify HR 254. What's next, twisting the 2nd amendment to demand universal healthcare?

This is another reason the system cannot be fixed. People do not understand how twisted politicians can get in order to further their sick agendas. People cannot distinguish the truth from the bull covering it up and so they think we'll live in a kinder and gentler world if we could just make hatred a crime. You cannot regulate how people think. You can only help them become educated, or withhold information to make them stupid. Hate crimes legislation seeks to do the latter and only a few brave souls have attempted to point this out.
