"YOU, as one individual, cannot do much to effect legislation. But YOU can effectively defend the Constitution when a gun owner, a tax resister, or someone who knows he owns his individual body, is on trial for not following government-made laws that are both unconstitutional and violate human rights. The primary responsibility of any juror is to protect innocent humans from government tyranny. That means any violation of basic human rights should be nullified by you, the juror. This is your individual executive veto power, built into our justice system by our founders."

"As Beardsley Ruml pointed out in the 1930s, with the ability to issue currency, the government has no need to tax. It can print as much money as it would ever need. Therefore, in his view, the function of taxes such as the income tax and the inheritance tax, is not to fund the government or provide for constitutionally mandated functions. Instead, the function of these taxes, he wrote in his article for Foreign Affairs magazine, is the redistribution of wealth. From whom? From those capable of producing wealth"

Some time over two years ago I submitted RtF to LS Blogs[1], which is a blog only directory. Basic, you scratch my back by linking to me and I'll scratch your back by linking to you. Which is topical, as we've recently installed software to manage our “Friends” reciprocal link directory. And in a blatant plug, we're looking for a few good friends to exchange links with, so click that link above and add yourself already :) (political orientation not required, but a big bonus for those supporting truth, justice, and the American way, well the American way that I remember)

Well, getting back to LS Blogs, they've just sent their, “you're accepted” letter. How nice! And we were only suppose to link to you for two years, before you could be bothered to even review us for inclusion into your hip and happen'n Blog directory?

The topic for Mystery Topic Challenge #4 is:

If you were President/Prime Minister for a day, with the power to do absolutely anything (Supreme Court? What Supreme Court?), what would you do and why?

From the "Anything to keep power" cabal, comes the latest on how to screw Dr. Ron Paul...

Many states, in an effort to shut out Ron Paul are now closing their primaries. That means that only Republicans can vote in the Presidential primaries for a Republican candidate. Many states are doing this quickly and quietly and giving people very little time to learn about the new rules. For example, New Hampshire decided only a week ago that you will now have to change your party affiliation by October 12, 2007 or it will be too late to do so. New Hampshire also has a closed primary and only Republicans and possibly Independents will be allowed to vote for Ron Paul.

Latest bizarre* search phrase to bring someone to our site:

“if I have a warrant for my arrest in texas, can I get a Drivers License in california”

Here's the short answer for you, “Sure, as long as you don't mind a stay in the California pokey with a resultant trip back to Texas to satisfy the warrant!”

If you can, go see it. It'll make you angry, disgusted, sad, and even feeling betrayed. And that's really the point, the 'American Government' is betraying its people. Not just in little, let's build a multi-million dollar bridge to nowhere pork projects, but in the grander scheme. It's betraying us in the “we'll kill or destroy anyone or anything we want, just to achieve whatever convoluted goals we've cooked up.” Honesty? Integrity? Forget that. We'll try to off you just for thinking of exposing us for the scum we are.

Another day, another search phrase that boggles the mind...

Phrase: “Pros and Cons of Real ID” [Google, second results page, 2 results*]

Okay, so maybe I'm getting on my high horse a little ahead of schedule, maybe someone just wants to know more about how bad things could be under what the Hitler, Nazi dream the REAL ID act accomplishes. Somehow I doubt it, but hey, lets take it as a real fact finding mission, because even though many of the US States have told the Feds. to piss up a rope on the Act, the NeoCon control junkies just reinvented it by using Social Security cards as the “Your Papers, Please” of the new American era. Summed up nicely by Butler Shaffer:

American teens have long been in chaos, suffering high rates of depression, suicide, crime, substance abuse, pregnancy, and other serious problems. Until about a century ago, however, the teenage years were relatively benign, and adolescence as we know it barely existed. Through most of human history, young people were integrated into adult society early on, but beginning in the late 1800s, new laws and cultural practices began to isolate teens from adults, imposing on them an increasingly large set of restrictions and artificially extending childhood well past puberty. New research suggests that teens today are subjected to more than ten times as many restrictions as are most adults, and adulthood is delayed until well into the twenties or thirties. It's likely that the turmoil we see among teens is an unintended result of the artificial extension of childhood. Between a quarter and a third of young people who enter our school systems never graduate from high school, and for blacks and Hispanics, the proportion is closer to one-half.

A large brew-ha-ha has sparked over at KN@PPSTER over the possibility that Ron Paul is a racist. While I disagree with Tom on the dissection of the document he cites, and thereby its meaning, I've been somewhat shocked that Tom also disagrees with the statement, mine and others, that Ron Paul is the “best current choice to promote libertarianism.”

The last day of the Legislative Session is Memorial Day, a holiday
for many people. David and I had decided to go, sit in the House and
Senate Galleries, walk the halls, and visit Legislators, just to let
them know that win, lose or draw, we are here and we are not going
away. Then we thought how great it would be if there were hundreds
of grassroots anti-corridor/toll people everywhere!

As the Bush Administration continues its meltdown we can almost see past the NeoCons to....yet another group of corporate liegemen who will take up the same work of converting America into one large plantation owned and operated for the benefit of the Feudal Few. We must take action. But the action needed begins with understanding where freedom went wrong.

Instead of questioning who has the best interests of our troops at heart, we should be debating which policy is best for our country. Defensive wars to preserve our liberties, fought only with proper congressional declarations, are legitimate. Casualties under such circumstances still are heartbreaking, but they are understandable. Casualties that occur in undeclared, unnecessary wars, however, are bewildering. Why must so many Americans be killed or hurt in Iraq when our security and our liberty were not threatened?

In reality, support for the status quo (and the president’s troop surge) in Iraq means expanding the war to include Syria and Iran. The naval build up in the region, and the proxy war we just fought to take over Somalia, demonstrate the administration’s intentions to escalate our current war into something larger.

Don't Tag Texas!

NO Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC)
NO Animal Tagging

Join us in Austin, Texas on March 2, 2007 at 1:30 pm

March To The Capitol To Protest

Dear Friends and Members:

        I hope most of you already know that big things are happening in our  
anti-corruption movement to STOP the Trans-Texas Corridor and freeway  
tolls.

        Below is a flier you can send around to your friends, family and co-
workers to ask them to join you at the rally Against the Trans-Texas  
Corridor (and animal tagging too!) on Friday, March 2, starting at  
1:30 pm.  (PLEASE NOTE:  a time previously sent for 12 noon, is  
incorrect!)

        Something else--URGENTLY & EQUALLY IMPORTANT!!!  Thursday, March 1,  
starting at 8:30 a.m., is a hearing called by Senator John Carona,  
chair of the Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee.  
He wants to hear from folks across the state about the Corridor, the  
freeway tolls and public/private partnerships -- that's the  
Governor's apparent plans to sell off our state's assets to the  
highest bidder!
