Guest Post: A Day In The Life Of A “Homegrown Terrorist”
Submitted By Giordano Bruno of Neithercorp Press
A Day In The Life Of A “Homegrown Terrorist”
There was a time when having one’s name listed in the despised ranks
of those villains that governments often categorize as “terrorists”
involved quite a bit of leg work, as well as an ominous running resume
of death, destruction, and general mean spiritedness. Of course, if one
examines the history of every modern country which eventually
disintegrated into despotism, the definition of who the “enemy” is tends
to become rather broad rather quickly. That is to say, the more
criminal the leadership of a country becomes, the easier it is for the
average person to find himself labeled a criminal by that same
leadership.
Today, one does not need to blow up buildings, take hostages in
political motivation, send anthrax through the mail, or even wave a gun
around in a public place to be considered a terrorist threat. In fact, a
man could never leave his house and still find himself under suspicion
as an enemy of the state. The Department of Homeland Security has
released numerous standardized guidelines to law enforcement offices
across the country which are meant to make it “easier” for police and
others to identify a possible terrorist. If you were to take at face
value such documents as the now famous MIAC Report, the Virginia Fusion
Center Report, the DHS’ “see something, say something” campaign, the
Enemy Belligerents Act, the post trial statements of the Department Of
Justice in the Liberty Dollar case, or the wild spewing rhetoric of
establishment mouthpiece organizations like the SPLC, then you would
discover that a likely terrorist is:
Anyone who talks frequently about the Constitution, or ill of the government
Anyone who supports the idea of a Constitutional Militia
Anyone who fights against anti-gun legislation, or owns many guns (man do we LOVE guns)
Anyone who supports state sovereignty and 10th Amendment issues
Anyone who supports Ron Paul (the ultimate sin according to the SPLC)
Anyone who believes the private Federal Reserve is destroying our economy
Anyone who talks about the “New World Order”, or global government (does
this include men like George Soros, Joseph Biden, Gordon Brown, Henry
Kissinger, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Strobe Talbot, George McGovern,
Mikhail Gorbachev, Richard Nixon, etc.?)
Anyone who discusses economic collapse as a reality in the U.S.
Anyone who speaks out against the IRS
Anyone who participates in “Hacktivism” (including those who leak documents embarrassing to government)
Anyone who participates in any form of activist group
Anyone who argues that the Left/Right political paradigm is a scam
Anyone who promotes Anarchist views
Anyone who distrusts FEMA (as if Katrina did not give us ample reasons)
Anyone who believes a truly independent investigation of 9/11 is rational and called for
Anyone who home schools their children
Anyone who flies a Gadsden Flag
Anyone who stores survival goods and food
Anyone who uses shortwave radios or HAMs
Anyone who watches movies like ‘Freedom to Fascism’, with anti-Fed messages
Anyone who operates private barter and trade networks
Anyone who stores gold and silver or uses them as an alternative to the dollar
Basically, ANYONE who dissents through independent political
organization or protests through non-participation in the corrupt system
might as well be Al Qaeda…

I could go on for pages with this stuff, but I think you get the
picture. In a world where refusing a naked body scan at the airport
earns you intimidation and a demeaningly thorough pat down, it is clear
that now wherever we go we are all considered “suspects”. Why would I
turn down a naked body scan, one might ask? Well obviously because I
have something to hide; namely my genitalia from the prying eyes of the
TSA. To be frank, my privacy and the privacy of all Americans is more
important than your safety. Get over it.
America is moving closer to financial derailment, and with that kind
of destabilization often follows the escalation of what we call the
“police state”; a governmental framework that is designed specifically
to protect the longevity of the core system that created the disaster in
the first place, remove civil liberties one bite at a time while
demonizing any person who dares to question the necessity of the system,
and institute new social dynamics meant to acclimate the public to the
loss of the freedom and prosperity they once enjoyed. That is, to
condition them to accept the loss as “inevitable” and for the “greater
good”.
Most unsettling but absolutely predictable has been the recent
tapping of the SPLC and ever present establishment front man Mark Potok
as the on camera media hit squad against organizations like Liberty
Dollar, and anyone else attempting to promote alternative methods of
currency and commerce outside of the corporately controlled economy.
U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins’ post trial statement in the case against
von NotHaus that “Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this
country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism” was just the
beginning. Potok has now come forward stating:
“He (von NotHaus) is playing on a core idea of the
radical right, that evil bankers in the Federal Reserve are ripping you
off by controlling the money supply,” said Mark Potok, spokesman for the
group. “He very much exists in the world of the anti-government patriot
movement, whatever he may say. That’s who his customers are.”
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_liberty_dollars_raid
Here’s what I love about Mark Potok; his ability to vomit unsupported
accusations and make absurdly false associations all while making the
absolute truth sound “insane” to the useful idiots out there in TV land.
First off, how does Potok define the “radical right”? It sounds
scary, but what does it mean? Who gets to decide what the radical right
is? The SPLC? Is a right wing radical or extremist anyone who just
happens to disagree with Mark Potok’s world view, or the global elitist
vision of the future? Potok routinely haunts the transmissions of MSM
networks to squat on our television screens and unleash a putrid torrent
of Ad hominem attacks without ever having to actually qualify what he
says. It truly is awe inspiring.
His style of propaganda comes from a long tradition of Alinsky-esque
dishonesty in debate. When the SPLC argues a point, their goal is not
to get to the truth of a matter, or to explore the complexity of an
issue, it is to oversimplify the issues, to ridicule the opposition and
taint their image in the minds of audiences before the audience ever
gets a chance to hear the other side of the story. How often does Potok
utter phrases like “radical”, “extremist”, “terrorist”, “white
supremacist”, or hot button names like “Timothy McVeigh” while
discussing legitimate activist groups like the Ron Paul campaign, Oath
Keepers, the Tea Party Movement, anti-Federal Reserve groups, etc? The
purpose behind this is to condition average Americans to automatically
interpret the terminology as being mutually related. To hear Oath
Keeper, for instance, and think “Timothy McVeigh”.
This tactic of false association invariably leads to more generalized
definitions of criminality, or terrorism, and then to more intrusive
legal actions and legislation.
The Liberty Dollar case is now being used by the DOJ in an effort to
set a precedent, which would make it easier for the government to
prosecute any barter network utilizing gold and silver as competing
currencies to the dollar. The message is clear; you are not allowed to
change the system. You are not allowed to buck the system or criticize
the system. You are not even allowed to walk away from the system. You
will sit down, you will shut up, and you WILL participate, whether you
like it or not.
This philosophy is typical of autocratic nations around the globe.
The citizenry is denied the ability to actively have a say in their own
government because the parties involved refuse to represent them, or
even stoop to abusing them, then, they are denied the option to protest
this lack of representation, and then, they are also denied the choice
of opting out and walking away. A slightly more extreme example of this
would be the Chinese propensity for hating the Tibetan people and
wishing they would disappear, while also shooting Tibetan natives who
take the hint and attempt to leave the country by hiking over the
border. Thus, the people are not just an enemy to be silenced or run
off, they are also property which must be fenced in and subjugated.
Potok condescendingly attacks the idea of the Federal Reserve ripping
people off and controlling the money supply as “radical” (both
accusations are true and have been well documented Ad Nauseum by
numerous financial analysts from both sides of the political spectrum. I
challenge Potok to debate me or any other alternative economist on this
in depth). But the real kick is that Anne Tompkins and Mark Potok both
connect the movement towards any barter and trade away from the Federal
Reserve controlled construct as being an extremist endeavor which will
supposedly wreak havoc on the mainstream economy. This casts millions
of Americans into the role of domestic terrorist without them ever
lifting a finger in anger or violence. Again, you are not allowed to
have your own economy, or your own money. You have to play by the
rules, their rules, and become a part of the team.
Being that I apparently seem to fit many of the DHS/SPLC selected
characteristics of a homegrown terrorist, and most of the people I know,
work with, and are friends with, do as well, I feel it is incumbent
upon me to give you a personal peak into the everyday existence of such a
“dangerous affront” to civilized society. For all you terrorism
voyeurs out there, let’s delve into the deep dark recesses of the life
and psyche of the average establishment nominated homegrown extremist…
7:00 AM: I wake up this morning and every morning
with thoughts on how I may better expose the Federal Reserve and the
fetid, morally bankrupt corporate bankers who constructed it. Drink
orange juice. Change out of my Gadsden Flag pajamas and jump into the
shower. Sing the lyrics to Jimi Hendrix’s ‘All Along The Watchtower’.
Rinse. Repeat.
8:00 AM: I jot down my immediate thoughts for the
next terroristic macroeconomic analysis article I plan to complete later
in the day with my long horrifying trigger happy terrorist fingers on
my terrorist built supercomputer. I also eat a blueberry muffin,
probably heated to sumptuous perfection by bakers of the terrorist
persuasion. As you know, we are everywhere. Booga booga…
9:00 AM: Go out for my five mile jog. Have to stay
in tip top condition if Homeland Security plans to hunt me down for all
those goods and silver I’ve been trading on the evil right wing
extremist ultra maxi secret black market. Flea markets, farmers
markets, garage sales, private exchanges of eggs and milk, all under the
nose of the IRS! You name it, I sully the “pristine” nature of the
Federal Reserve system with it.
10:00 AM: Arrive at my day job where I talk to
fellow employees and even employers CONSTANTLY about the stagflationary
threats to the U.S. economy, the inherent tyranny of the central banking
philosophy, the complete idiocy of the Keynesian methodology, the risk
of Treasury depreciation and the loss of the greenback’s world reserve
currency status, along with the need for sound money initiatives,
localized commerce, state sovereignty legislation, and personal defense.
Somehow, they have not yet realized that I am a terrorist. Mark Potok
needs to get his message out there more effectively…
6:00 PM: Arrive home from a hard day’s work. Make
dinner devoid of artificial sweeteners, chemical preservatives, and high
fructose corn syrup. For some reason, I care about my overall health
and shudder at the prospect of feeding from the corporately produced
slop trough, which only seems to slowly morph any unsuspecting human
being into a 300 pound boil infested bottom feeding kankle troll with
the logical and intuitive capacity of a sea monkey. Watch rerun of
Three’s Company (Hey, that show is funny…)
7:00 PM: Sink into couch for some much needed rest.
7:15 PM: Get up off of couch and start my second job as a terrorist writer. We are indeed relentless.
11:00 PM: After spreading my vicious propaganda
about how the leaderships of both major political parties support nearly
the same exact legislation and only seem to disagree in rhetoric, or
when the particular issue is ultimately unimportant to the progression
of globalization, as well as the inevitable downfall of the American
financial system facilitated by the deliberate creation of the
derivatives crisis by the Federal Reserve and global banks like JP
Morgan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, etc, I then have a shot of whiskey.
Sometimes its depressing being a terrorist, and you have to take the
edge off.
12:00 AM: I now answer many emails from other would
be terrorists across the country who have been wiled by the undeniably
rich and sexy allure of the lifestyle. Being labeled a terrorist is
truly fun and exciting. Being constantly aware of the Godzilla-like
rampage of international banks and the Fed across the ruins of our
monetary system while half of the public is more concerned about what
kind of Gordita they want from Taco Bell is immensely comforting. All
the extra attention we receive from such highly placed individuals as
Janet Napolitano makes us feel like celebrities. I imagine any group in
history who has been singled out by government for their political and
social views or their desire to fix the obvious inadequacies of their
authority structure has felt the same way……fabulous.
1:00 AM: Time to sleep. Warm milk? Check. Air
conditioning at optimum temperature? Check. Bed spread neatly folded
for easy access? Check. Low playing mood music? Check. Loaded
semi-automatic pistol under pillow? Check. (This is actually true in
some cases, and you know what? I salute those people.) Commence
operation Sheep Count. Try to supplant the concerns and the tensions of
a world tomorrow that could be drastically different and even more
frightening than the one we live in today. Worry that I should be
sleeping less and working more to prepare others for what is coming.
Hoping that my belief in the greater potential of mankind is not a
waste, and that my efforts will yield something better for those
generations that follow my own. Yes, I am an extremist, and a deviant.
I will never stop pursuing the tidings of liberty, regardless of the
cost. I am a madman. However, this makes me wonder, what does it mean
to be deemed a madman in a society run by madmen? What does it mean to
be judged a deviant in a nation dominated by deviants? Why is it that a
so called “terrorist” in an atmosphere of dread and tyranny always
seems to end up being but a man who only seeks to be free?

"Grow up, cyclists drive cars just like you."
Are you sure?...I've never seen cyclists driving cars three abreast...and if they're getting double use of the roadway shouldn't they pay double?
"The problem isn't cyclists, they drive cars just like you."
No, the problem is arrogant, 35yr.old cyclists with a death wish, dressed in neon spandex, trying to recapture their youth, having everyone else pay for extending asphalt pavement to each side of the roadway for bike lanes and still riding three abreast in the vehicle travel lane...you're not paying attention to what's coming up behind you ;-)
all you guys BOTH want is to be free.
One on a bike.
One in a vehicle.
I would argue the problem is murderous, entitled drivers...
Gotcha goin huh?...LOL.
I would argue it's dodgy divorced/unhappy men in need of an attitude adjustment by the local constable/motorist or winding up as a road kill statistic who met their untimely demise by some old geezer who can't pay as much attention to the road as myself...but that's just me.
Good luck out there sport...not everyones as forgiving as me ;-)
It is a little obnoxious to claim either vehicle or pedestrian status/rules depending on which is more convenient and also to act as if simply pointing to where you want to go in traffic makes everything OK.
Agreed. At some point you have to admit that might makes right. If a semi is driving down the wrong lane, I gladly switch lanes for him. If I am on a bicycle, then I stay out of the car lanes. Just like picking up pennies in front of a steam roller, you can do it all day every day and be perfectly fine. All it takes is that one little slip, and you're done.
I did get going there a little bit. I'll concede that there are idiots on two wheels who create a negative perception of cycling as a hobby. That being said, I've been riding in the bike lane, with full reflectors out on a country road where cars rarely go and gotten a face full of horn. Some people use cycling as a form of exercise and enjoying the outdoors(myself included) and having been on the other end of the equation, there are a lot of dicks on 4 wheels too. I'm not gonna be in the middle of the road with cars coming and expect them to go around, but I don't like the idea of being okay with running cyclists down. I think that's kinda messed up.
sorry guys
key got stuck
quad post
lol...dude...you seem like a nice guy.... I get it.
"Contribute" does NOT equal "tax."
<Insert discourse on voluntary actions versus those done at the end of a pistol.>
"Contribute" does NOT equal "tax."
<Insert discourse on voluntary actions versus those done at the end of a pistol.>
Use the roads, 2/3 of your gas price is tax that is for the roads
awww. he's a family man, too!
I got nailed almost immediately on not filing returns.... just fyi... Went bankrupt because of divorce and the economy, I lost my home, business, ect... and I still got stuck with a massive IRS bill because I actually worked VERY hard to get my life back... made a lot of money working 16 hour days for months on end... of course that didnt' matter.... That was just more money for them to take at the end of the year, no matter my losses.
B
that's what happens when you try to stay in the system. Once it is clear that you have no hope of ever being anything but an IRS slave with never ending garnishments, then you have to go off the system and find a cash business, or leave the country to start a new life. Buy a 5000 dollar hair removal laser, learn how to use it, then go anywhere in latin america and work for cash. Hell most of latin america is a cash economy. You will be comfortably middle class because those women are so hairy and get embarrassed about it. that's what I would do if I found myself with an impossible tax bill.
They employ armed men; you don't. Give it up, sucker!
All else is decoration.
+33, I've spoken with a few that are either A. losing their homes B. are affluent but yet still clueless on the financial system and the stock market (401k's, pensions and social security that are about to be extinct) or C. concerned yet are of the mindset that there is nothing they can do
Here's the thing, there are things you can do from the comfort of your own home.
1- stop banking at these institutions, JPM Chase, Wells Fargo, BOA, HSBC, Charter ONE, or any foreign european conglomerate financial insititution. If you have mortgages with one of them fine but quit your regular banking with them and find a local bank or credit union.
2- stop buying the foreign shit from china at walmart and/or stop shopping at walmart period. You are funding your own demise plus that shit is bad for you anyway. Do you have to go organic vegan? No, but a concious effort to look at what you eat or what you feed your children is a start.
3- speak up, talk to your family, friends, neighbors and those in your local community about becoming more aware of what is going on and what they can do.
4- stop with the credit cards, loans and debt. Educate your children on debt and money.
5- buy physical silver instead of gold (or gold if you can afford it maybe 80-20 ratio silver -gold) and keep plenty of cash/silver coins (and guns for that matter) on hand that is accessible
This is a start. Speaking of the few that are losing their homes, BOA is taking their house. I asked them the simple question, well who do you bank with? They said BOA. I said why do you choose to do your personal banking with BOA if they are taking your house? I then said why don't you pull your money out and put it somewhere else? They said, "I don't know." What else can you say to someone like that?
I understand not everyone can comprehend this term http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias but once you give a concious effort to become more aware then do a little research, you can start to change the structure in which you think and how you look at things. Only then can you see a change in your life. Material shit is meaningless and we are bred to become a consumer, then you die. That's not how it is supppose to be and if you stick your head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong with the world unfortunately your problems will not go away nor will Jesus come and save you. There is no future for the human species if the ones that can make a difference don't wake up. That is you.
Nice post on all counts, there is much that can be done peacefully, all that is required is volume. I especially like:
"Material shit is meaningless and we are bred to become a consumer, then you die. That's not how it is supppose to be and if you stick your head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong with the world unfortunately your problems will not go away nor will Jesus come and save you."
Spot-on.
Another thing I've been preaching for years, to minimal avail, is SUPPORT LOCALLY AND FUCK OFF GLOBALLY, As best you can.
Amen, brother.
One of the best posts ever...God it's nice to know there are people out there that think exactly like me.
I could well be an atheist yet I still find myself thanking Ghod that they all don't LOOK exactly like you, no matter what they think... no offence.
Good post.
Would add to the list: 6- stop using cellphones
Why?
GPS and the ability to be remotely turned on without consent. Only way to not get tracked, is to pull the battery or own a phone prior to 2002 or jailbreak it ($20 bucks for a cable and a couple of linux tools to crack it.
You can think of cell phones as a giant, mobile sensor network. It has a microphone, a camera or video camera, location tracking, and more.. Essentially, portable telescreens.. something far more insidious than what Orwell described:
"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard."
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time."
"But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live--did live, from habit that became instinct--in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

Six months in the life of a cell-phone: http://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2011-03/data-protection-malte-spitz
"The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations."
"The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him."
http://news.cnet.com/2100-1029_3-6140191.html
"The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY."

Ahmeexnal, yeah I used to be that paranoid but now I don't give a fuck. Cell phones are horrible for the human body (mind mainly) and especially for children. It effects their DNA and the way their brain communicates. Plenty of studies done on this subject. I use either headphones, speakerphone or my phone system in my car. Rarely if ever do I stick that contraption to my head to talk for an extended period. There are also cheap items to purchase for around $25 that protect you from electromagnetic radiation. Not hocus pocus this shit actually works.
There are too many benefits to list why having a high tech phone is good, trust me if someone wants to know where you are, what you're doing or who you're with it ain't that hard to do. There is no such thing as free. Everything you purchase (with the exception of cash ONLY if you don't give you name, address, etc when you pay cash, I've actually had several stores ask me my personal shit when paying cash, I said wtf are you kidding me??? I'm paying cash, I'm not giving you my personal info.) is tracked and stored as your profile. They know everything. There are ways to live in the system yet mostly off the grid... That is what we should start doing. Godspeed
Blank Reg
When they ask me, I give them your name.
Pong research sells the only cell phone radiation cases that are proven to work.
Thank you GG, I add... Limit exposure to television and for gods sake keep your kids away from it. You have better uses for your time than absorbing psychologically manipulative propaganda.
"3- speak up, talk to your family, friends, neighbors and those in your local community about becoming more aware of what is going on and what they can do."
First the local government must be retaken.
Then the state government may be retaken.
Then the federal government may be retaken.
Know your strengths, know your enemy, divide his resources before engagement, begin where you have home field advantage.
Even the rather eccentric Walt Disney had the common sense to buy himself his own local government/sovereign authority.
Triumph of the will, isn't that right walt?

Fact is our society, culture and system was subverted from within a very long time ago by the british empire and you can go on from there to find out where they came from. The only way to stop this destruction is by doing the same thing back, subversion from within and it starts at the local level like you said. Also if there are "movers and shakers" that read this blog (like someone said before) and you still have a soul left, how about using some of that fiat paper you have and start doing something?
"Frontline: The card game" is a must watch in order to understand the insidiousness of the credit card industry...
I know a guy with a carpet cleaning business who has filed a tax return for the last twenty years. He calculates correctly the amount owed, but then puts down zero for the amount remitted. He said failing to pay taxes is not a criminal act but a civil issue. However failing to file a tax return is considered tax fraud and you can be arrested. He once had an IRS agent come to his door after about ten years. When it was clear that he was just going to laugh at her and he pointed out the IRS already knew he didn't have any assets in his name they left him alone. There are hundreds of thousands of people just like this guy. They correctly file their taxe returns but remit zero dollars. There is nothing the IRS can do, so they stay quiet about it and ignore these people for fear that more people will do it.
Yet somehow, I'll bet you expect the firemen and police to answer when you've got a problem at home, and the military when you've got a problem abroad, while you sit and preach from your thieving little pedestal. Because you deserve it, right? You didn't get every trinket and vacation you saw the neighbors getting, and you thought, dammit, I'll make it mine. Some people were swindled. Some people were clueless. You, on the other hand, are a thief who brays for others' help to drive the getaway car, while the rest of us pay. Let me be clear: laying out a strategy to take things that don't belong to you is being a thief, when it will ultimately fall on the backs of those you call your countrymen to pay your debt. For someone with such cut-and-dried moral views, I'm surprised that you cannot grasp this.
You are utterly incapable of recognizing that there is a very bright line between being an agent for change and being a parasite. I'll help you on this: you're a parasite. And a profane one to boot, who thrives on sowing hate and divisiveness. You probably don't even realize that you *are* the agent provacateur you so blithely, and crudely, accuse others of being. Easier than owning up to one's own shortcomings, I suppose. I just want you to know - people (not just me) laugh at you. Night night.
Buddy, everyone's a theif...
I think oygevalt is a troll he knows not of what he speaks
Oy vey
The Federal Government, dipshit, isn't in charge of providing police, firemen, roads or anything else. It's the domain of the individual state, county, town/city/shithole, and they DO have laws that demand tax. What was stated is structurally correct.
laying out a strategy to take things that don't belong to you is being a thief . . .
YOU NAILED IT! You are hereby granted the Bent Nail award for recognizing central banking (and multinational corporations) business strategies. Naturally, to implement said strategies, a government here or there must be co-opted.
Ohh, nice repartee. HEZ award for you. You want laurels or bling with that?
propery taxes pay for your local fire and police. we had a military before we had income taxes. There's plenty of tax revenue to fund basic, essential govt functions. Govt is the thief.
The military is at least ten times bigger than it needs to be to protect Americans from foreign enemies. It's there mainly to make sure the sheep don't get too frisky and begin to think they don't belong to the flock owners.
Costa Rica does fine without any military.
Oygevalt, I want to point out that I have NEVER needed the use of police or fire dept in my life. My gas taxes pay for the roads I drive on. I didn't go to public schools and neither do my children. And if I did need the police or fire dept - IT COMES OUT OF THE FUCKING COUNTRY AND STATE TAXES SUBTRACTED FROM MY PAYCHECK EVERY WEEK. Go fuck your hat Mr. Holier Than Thou. I think people should NOT pay taxes if it means starving the beast - the banksters and the warmongers (banksters! LOL).
What do you think about the Fuckushima disaster? I'll bet you like swallowing and breathing Cesium isotopes on a regular basis. How about your kids? You are the kind of spineless fucktard that likes to bend over and take it hard and say "Thank You Sir. Can I please have another?"
Yes, and teachers are paid out of local taxes too. Funny what happens to all of those jobs funded through local taxes (not to mention other assorted add-on effects) when the federal money stops coming. And, if you're paying withholding, you pay for the service. Chumbawamba, by his own definition, isn't. As for Fukushima or any offspring I may have, that has nothing to do with anything. So since nothing you wrote has any relevance to what I wrote... why did you write this?
Thanks for reminding me of another reason why I won't pay taxes: I am certainly not going to pay your salary, you pathetic government paid troll.
I mean, let's look at the evidence: my comment above evinced many replies of support and solidarity. There were only two negative retorts: yours, and the stupid rat. No surprise there: everything you two vermin have ever written to this site that I've read have been in support of statist policies. You are the very definition of a stooge. You are a minion of Satan.
Local services are paid for by property and sales taxes.
Roads and highways are paid for by fuel taxes.
I pay for what I use. Beyond that, I am not responsible.
What do State and Federal taxes support? Politicians, bankers, their crime syndicates and their military thugs who protect the racket. And, of course, blog trolls, like you.
You are despicable.
I promise you this: if I am ever fortunate enough to be left in a room with you alone, I will strangle you to death. I will wrap my powerful hands around that thin little neck of yours that supports that vacuous cranial cavity and tighten my grip until I can feel my palms with my finger tips. I will crush your trachea first to suffocate you, then stare menacingly into your soul as your vile lifeforce drains from your fat- and puss-filled corpus. Just before you pass, I will rape and sodomize your mouth and plant my seed deep inside you so that one day something good will blossom where before there was only evil and blackness. You will be the compost for my progenesis.
Of course, you will simply scoff and dismiss this as idle rantings...until one day you find yourself in a room, alone...
You are warned.
I am Chumbawamba.
And you are prevented from editing when you think better of writing this.
I think that must have scared him away...
Compost! Bitchez!
Yeah, I've seen that trite and pointless little ploy of yours.
I don't write in anger, bitch. I mean what I say when I put it down the first time.
I don't fuck around.
As you've aligned yourself with the system, and the days are numbered, so are yours.

This is what I'm talking about, Tyler: http://ww.zerohedge.org/article/fifth-rule-zero-hedge?page=1
Aw, poor wittow baybee. You gonna go crying to Tyler?
Why don't you ask Cpt. Sunstein for some hazard pay? Maybe he can take out an insurance policy on you and name Lieberman as the benficiary.
Mother fucker, like Ariel Sharon, Marla is gone. Where is your champion now?
Throw down or leave, bitch.
I am Chumbawamba.
You're a would-be murderer and rapist, no? You're deranged. If your audience here doesn't see that now, it never will.
You're a craven harlot.
I am Chumbawamba.
So you're NOT a would-be murderer and rapist?
I suppose you didn't even notice that YOU thanked Tyler and Marla, in the comments, on that post. I suppose you find them both so useless now that you run roughshod over their creation, attracting all sorts of attention I'm sure Tyler doesn't want, so you have a platform to run your mouth?
Kiss and hug your wife before you ship out to the internet cafe on Monday morning. You never know what can go wrong in the field of battle. Your enemy is crafty and devious and harbors no sanction for human life. Expect anything.
I am Chumbawamba.
I remind you Tyler, that a while back Marla made a posting about what is acceptable and what is not. I would think that threats of rape and murder would cross the line.
? So is it still considered rape if you are dead?
He did say just before I passed, so it's a moot point in this instance.
Yeah tell that to GE, Troll.
Suggest you read up on Civil Disobedience by Thoreau.
Oyegevalt: Go ahead and tell me one thing that the police do (outside of large urban areas) that fit the bill of protect and serve. From my standpoint all they do is ticket and tax. When you get a speeding tix or one of those red light tix it is a form of tax. Hits the middle class the hardest. most small towns are overly bloated withtoo many non-critical / non-essential public workers who do nothing but prepare for fires or write speeding tickets. I live in a small town know the mayor rather well and have petitioned him to lay off some of these workers as the town has financial issues. Looks bad for him if he lays off police, he may not get reelected. He knows this.
Have we come to the point where we feel our cities and towns will be overrun by hoodlums and gangsters if we lay off cops? Do we not have any faith in the common decency of mankind? I feel this would be a great experiment for a small town to try. Let the people police themselves and watch how great it can be.
How can we win, when fools can be kings?

"no one starts a war-or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so-without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it."
- Karl von Clausewitz
Sun Tzu
If defense is the stronger form of war, yet has a negative object, it follows that it should be used only so long as weakness compels, and be abandoned as soon as we are strong enough to pursue a positive object.
Clausewitz
As I said before, I understand where you're coming from. I got my own little battle going which will probably put me in jail again--long story. Ya can't quit; when ya do, you forget how to do it. A fight is rarely a one punch deal. Usually it ends up with some blood on the ground, some of it yours.
When you are right and back down and there is principle involved you lose more than the battle, you lose some of that that makes us what the hell we are supposed to be made of.
Chumba, stay the course my man. Milestones
Fuck yeah, Chumba.
This powder is dry.
To Chumbawamba I to have done the same people say to me, you have moved away to escape the revolution , and they say what are you going to do when the time comes, well the time will not come without people like us ,I have taken my land from them (no longer securing the national debt ) I will fight there rules to be free by becoming a sovereign not a federal citizen . I will not pay taxes . If they come to arrest me on whatever "terrorist" charges they dream up , well if I can kill just 3 of them I will feel I have done my part to get rid of these fucks. what have other people done ? Now is the time
chumba,
I read your comment a few weeks ago about not paying the credit card companies and trying to outlast them untill the shtf... funny thing is I am/have been in the process of doing the same thing. The comment made me atually sign up for a account here on ZH, i just recently discoverred ZH a month ago. Idk where im going with this but its refreshing to see other people who think and feel the same as me. No one in the "real world" outside of ZH seems to give a fuck or would even dare not paying their credit cards because it might ruin their credit. Everyone in the "real world" thinks im crazy for stashing silver,food, water and really i was starting to wonder if maybe i was crazy. It is a feeling of being alone, like Im taking on the corrupt rulers of the world all by myself. Your comments made me realize im not alone, that there are others fighting, doing something to get back at the ruthless leaders.
let me just say I couldnt be happier now that i found ZH.
If you don't pay your credit cards, the bankers won't let you be one of their slaves.
Good man.
When you get into a little trouble and need some help, this is a good place to go:

Chumba, when TSHTF you can chill at my place and get quarter anytime Patriot. Plenty of food, silver, guns, potable water, and other such niceities for you brother.
For some folks the battle is not by choice. I wrote a book for them. It's called "Debt Hope: Down and Dirty Survival Strategies."
Chumbo, by all means tell us your way.
At the rate you have chosen you must already be in Ghost mode, if not you will be jailed soon.Or worse.
If you have any assets, they had better be in hand, and you better not be stationary.

Keep up the good fight Chumba - you're not alone brotha. I just saw that you responded to one of my previous comments from another thread....there's a lot I'd like to input, but with all the government trolls lingering around I prefer to keep things on the hush-hush for now. The trolls will troll and the sheep will baaaa baaaa baaaa to their heart's content. I'm on another fuckin' level beyond their comprehension.
All I can say is that I have tremendous feelings of freedom since breaking off the shackles which is easy credit = easy debt. Credit is only good if you plan on opening a business and need start-up / sustainment capital or if you plan on buying a new house or new vehicle anytime soon. Otherwise, what's the fucking use? All of my family's cars are paid off - secured loans so best to pay off the cars first versus the stupid credit cards. Have less than 20% left to pay off the house (all under a Trust).
Regarding the credit cards, I didn't have to fight shit. I told the banks to kiss my sphincter hole and left it at that. Funny how even after they've written the debt off, I'm still receiving their bullshit letters pleading me to take advantage of the latest credit card offering. What a fucking joke.
Keep assets out of your name. Shelter them via a corporation or through the setup of a good Trust. Use the same tools that many of the elite use.
Regarding taxes, let those fuckers come. File an extension every year if you might "owe" money. Just say that you thought you didn't owe any money. Kick the can down the road in the same manner these government douches do year in and year out.
Start a business. Itemize every single fucking deduction you can think of that can be used towards said business. For unpaid taxes, the state will try to come for you first just because most all municipalities are broke as shit so they need the cash. They may try to withhold say 15-20% of your pay from your employer but it's not a big deal if you have cash income coming in to offset that. I'm fortunate to have several skills that are needed even in this crap economy and can get paid cash doing it but there's lots of other income flows out there. Just have to get out of the "traditional" / slave wage earner mentality and people can find other cash in-flows.
Regarding taxes, I will still file (for reasons I won't say right now....once again the trolls) but in the end I keep most all my money; they don't get jack shit. Every other year in the years prior I would throw them a couple hundred but the last few years they haven't gotten jack shit. Like I mentioned on another thread, it makes a world of a difference if you have cash income coming in and after seeing all the crap this government's been doing especially over the last 3 years, no fucking way they're getting another cent. If I have to die swinging, so be it. Hell, with all the fucking radiation heading our way they'd only be doing me a favor.
Hey Miscreant (spelling?), I saw one of your responses (but didn't have time to reply) and just wanted to tell you directly that what you had said took a lot of heart in that one post; a big gut check I'm sure it was for you. For someone who has apparently played by the "rules" after all these years only to put your anger / disagreement / whichever towards people such as myself (who have given the fat middle finger to the credit card companies) aside if it means getting people to wake up and moving forward together, it reveals much about your character. I personally just wanted to say THANK YOU. Hope to fight by your side one day.
Like I mentioned before, Celente had made the tax revolt "call" correctly. For those here on ZH, most of us here are way ahead of the herd though. Like I said, it'll probably take a year for most of the sheep to fucking wake up but by then it'll be too late. They'll probably skip out and do the tax revolt eventually but it will be at the bottom of the 9th inning. Too late.
So in the meantime, we prepare. Food, Water, Lead, Health, Community, and PM's. Like Sinclair mentioned, as much as everyone would still like to stack the metals' chips, "Please be that 1% that is not seduced by your profits and fails to take the last step to the best degree they can."

Anyone who talks about the “New World Order”, or global government (does this include men like George Soros, Joseph Biden, Gordon Brown, Henry Kissinger, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Strobe Talbot, George McGovern, Mikhail Gorbachev, Richard Nixon, etc.?)
Yeah I'd say we have/had reason to fear these powerful men and their actions when they advocate things like that - depending on the exact details of course. Ceding power to an unelected "world government" authority accountable to no one is just the kind of thing that enables what the author is fretting about here. But it's when non-powerful persons are deprived of liberty that is really a cause for alarm.

Don't worry. According to the DSM IV, everyone on that list also has a mental disorder.
The Soviets defined opposing communism as a mental illness.
Once they renamed some of the gulags as mental hospitals, the Western Left was happy and went back to being their admirers.
They had NO respect for pseudoscience, and it cost them dearly.
And... the Western Right LOVED Hitler and Mussolini...

The NYT liked hell out of him.
It is not always easy to tell how someone is going to turn out.
With our historical hindsight, the Left STILL wants to replay the national socialist game.
Hitler or Mussolini? How about a link/reference? I trust our government that those Libyan rebels will be better than the devil we know. I think our foresight will be 20/20 on that one. And props for your rodent picture.

If you don't have the time, money, and patience to submit to the bureaucracy, then your perceived right to own, possess or transfer a firearm can get you imprisoned. No problem if you're rich/powerful, or if your daily routine includes 10 other felony offenses, but for the kind of people that should form the backbone of any well regulated militia, it's a big infringement. That takes its toll. The love of freedom requires a substantial government kickback, and without it, you must choose between the freedom to keep and bear arms, and the freedom to not spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement.

In which orifice?
The anthem and the flag are the symbols of what we are supposed to be. By sitting you say that the ideals are not worth the sacrifice, well they are and when the fourth turning is over you will see that many have fallen for exactly those ideals. Will they be the perfect incarnation of those ideals perhaps not but God did not grant us perfection he does allow us to strive.

This was a popular conjecture in the lead-up to the 2008 elections: Bush would be emperor for life. Sigh, it'll be just like it's always been, people will buy the BS that it's "the other party's fault that everything's fucked up" and vote in their party's dunce. Rinse and repeat.
Why do people spend all this energy on this shit? Just fucking walk away. If you vote then YOU'RE the problem! Only those who want to have control in/of the system vote: fuck all the rhetoric from the founding fathers, they were dealing the cards for TPTB; the initial opening of the card game always is exciting, only to discover that the deck has been stacked (ask the native American Indians, women, blacks, non-property owners...).
It's easy to get property if you work at it. My grandfather's great great grandfather was propertyless but worked and saved his money and bought farmland and then became a cotton farmer. I actually think a property requirement for voting would prevent the socialist tendencies we are facing. maybe people shouldn't be voting if they don't have property or a minimum income. If we allow them to vote they will just vote to steal property from others without working for it.
Seriously? How about we honor property rights and allow everyone to vote instead? Our constitution is a fine concept, it is the implementation that sucks.
How about, when you sign up for the government handout, you sign away your right to vote, until you revoke the original request for a government handout?
It's also easy to get property if you inherit it like you have, which isn't 'working for it', either.
Then, you could use your un-earned vote to make certain that those elected make it as difficult as possible for those who have no property to ever get any.
What a fucking stupid, regressive idea, asshole.
But, he's entitled!!!...Oh, wait...he doesn't believe in entitlements.
Never mind.

really the government is creating paramilitarys around the world that want to fight against what they see as poor foreign policy that affects their lives. so the government wants to destroy these percieved threats to our interests. and in doing so they will create more dissent and disatisfaction with slanted policys that rely on discrimination and 3rd world resources.

we are literaly creating enemys to destroy them to create enemys. they are said to be organized armed political/religious paramilitary movements. uprising youth revolutionaries with worldviews based on their regional politics.
