Florida judge sentences 22-year-old man to 60 years in prison for mere possession of ammunition

Wants more government

It is an open secret that judges tend to punish defendants who defend themselves. You’re supposed to plead guilty and take the prosecutor’s plea offer.

Daily Kos, a government-loving website generally, has reported on the case of a Florida man on probation who was sentenced to SIXTY YEARS in state prison for merely possessing a pistol clip with some bullets in it (no pistol).

See here.

The Daily Kos story details several other cases where this Florida judge, Matthew Destry, handed out tyrannical, totalitarian justice. (And a few cases where Destry was quite lenient.)

Public defenders now simply advise defendants whose cases are overseen by Judge Destry to simply take whatever deal a prosecutor offers.

Record number of Americans renounce U.S. Citizenship

statlib

America was the freest society on earth for generations; perhaps more than a century. People from throughout the world fled tyranny for American shores.

During the past couple generations, however, the U.S. government has steadily increased controls, regulations and taxes.

For the past 3 years, record numbers of American citizens have left or have renounced U.S citizenship.

In fact, each of the past 3 years has set a record for the number of Americans renouncing citizenship. And last year (2015), another record was set: 4,279 Americans renounced citizenship. See here.

U.S. National Debt Hits $19 Trillion

still_waiting-251x300

U.S. debt has hit $19 trillion. This is greater than the total annual output of the country, which is estimated to be around $16 trillion.

This outrageous debt has been built even as “limited government” “conservative” Republicans maintain majorities in both chambers of the U.S. Congress. See here.

These “conservative” majorities were gained from millions of promises to voters that Republicans would start cutting government spending.

Montana Government’s Political Witch Hunts are now Attracting National Attention.

citizens united protesters

Every claim of “campaign finance reformers” is false. Every single claim.

For-profit corporations actually contribute almost nothing to political campaigns. Common law rules of corporate governance (i.e., the rule that corporations must seek profits as their primary interest) prohibit for-profit corporations from wasting money on politics. (And shareholders could sue them if they did waste a lot of money on politics!)

Most of the “corporations” that are active in politics are NONPROFIT political charities (and voters know who they are and who their funders are).

Most voters DO NOT change their political votes or ideologies in response to political advertising. Thus the claim that private-sector donors are “buying” election results is entirely false.

There has been no “deregulation,” no “austerity,” and no shifting of tax burdens from “the rich” onto the poor. IRS data plainly show THE BURDEN OF TOTAL TAXATION borne by the rich has grown, not declined over the past 50 years.

The corporate form is the business model for the little guy; it allows the poor to pool resources and compete with the rich. If corporations are deprived of free speech, the rich will HAVE FAR MORE POWER over elections (to the extent that private political spending influences elections at all).

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ACTUALLY DO influence elections by spending massively–and such spending goes entirely unregulated by campaign cops. For example, the U.S. military has spent BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on advertising, and even funds fake ‘honor the troops’ events at NFL games to promote government viewpoints.

In Montana, there is a powerful “campaign finance reform” movement–led by the state’s pro-government newspapers. Now the State’s “political practices commission” and its witch hunts are gaining national attention. See here.

Haters of Wal-Mart wanted it gone: Now they complain of “food deserts”!

sad1

Just as Michael Moore complained when GM was there and then complained because GM left, haters of Wal-Mart are now complaining that Wal-Mart’s departure from certain neighborhoods is creating “food deserts”! See the Associated Press’s article here.

The “food desert” argument is a claim that poor neighborhoods in certain cities are devoid of high-quality grocery supermarkets. (Those same neighborhoods, of course, are often inhospitable places for grocery retailers, due to combinations of high taxes, high crime, poor customers and low profits.)

French March in Protest of ‘Permanent Emergency’ Police State

dd3s22

Governments love emergencies, terror and crises of all kinds. Consequently, governments have a stake in spreading fear and terror, and almost never benefit from peacefulness or tranquility.

Many articles have documented suspicious links between recent French terrorist attackers and French intelligence. Were the French terror attacks of the past year “false flag” attacks?

It is undeniable that French advocates of intrusive expansive government have benefitted. Since the Concert killings of November 13, 2015 (which killed 130 people), France has become a virtual totalitarian police state. Machine-gun toting paramilitary troops now patrol the sidewalks. Tanks roll freely through streets. There have been warrantless midnight raids of Islamic homes and religious institutions.

Now the people of France are beginning to wake up and complain of their long-lost freedom. See here.

Socialized health care causing rationing of medications nationwide

bread

The New York Times has been a vocal supporter of government slave plantation healthcare proposals like Obamacare.

Now the Times has run a story about the rationing of pills in American health care. Just like what is found in socialist countries like Venezuela, Cuba and previously in Soviet Bloc countries! See here.

In recent years, shortages of all sorts of drugs — anesthetics, painkillers, antibiotics, cancer treatments — have become the new normal in American medicine. [Reasons range from] manufacturing problems to federal safety crackdowns to drugmakers abandoning low-profit products.

The Times expose’ conceded that regulatory barriers were responsible for scarcity:

Many drugs are made by only one manufacturer, so production or safety problems at a single plant can have big effects. For another company to begin making the products and getting them approved by regulators requires the right combination of manufacturing capabilities and economic incentives.

Government solutions after government poisoned thousands in Flint: Send money to fund more government!

horror4

Unlike a private business, which loses money and goes bankrupt after providing bad service, government agencies generally benefit from failure and crisis. Failure means even more money and power!

Good money after bad. Here is an Associated Press article about Michigan lawmakers passing a bill to take $28 million more from taxpayers to divert to the Flint, Michigan tainted-water situation.

Flint has been controlled by extreme pro-government-expansion politicians for decades. They ran the city into the ground and then poisoned the community with toxic lead-polluted water.

These are the same social parasites who decry privatization and talk about how bad it would be if greedy profiteers ever provided water to the citizenry.

An Infowars expose’ detailed the millions upon millions of dollars of government spending that is being recommended with a straight face by government cheerleaders like Michael Moore. The antidote to the “greed” of the private sector, according to Moore.

FCC moves to require radio and cable networks to report all political advertising to the government

Hitler

All who question, discuss, or criticize the government must identify themselves to the government.

That is the direction the FCC is moving in. Yesterday, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) ordered that all radio, cable and Satellite stations report the identity of all political ad purchasers to the government.

See here.

In the past, governments have sought out those who publish dissenting political flyers or brochures for torture, prosecution or execution.

Turkish prosecutors seek life sentences for journalists who offended Turkish president

inquisi

Freedom of press is among the most precious of rights. Always in danger, especially from governments pushing “national security” rationales.

Now two reporters whose reporting offended Turkish president Erdogan are in danger of being imprisoned for the rest of their lives. See here.

Of course, the prosecutors are alleging the journalists “revealed state secrets.”

Specifically, the reporters broke the story that Erdogan was apparently shipping arms to “Islamists” in Syria.

This by itself was bombshell news. But the details are even more startling. Some observers point to evidence that Erdogan was planning a “false flag” attack on himself (or Turkey), staged by the Syrian “Islamists” he was funding. See Infowars coverage here.

Is it any wonder these reporters must be punished?
