All that is allowed to be discussed is harmless issues like gay marriage, abortion, medical marijuana, etc. any divination on things like the fed or foreign policy or ending the stupid war on drugs altogether is verboten.

Here's something I just saw:

https://www.nraila.org/articles/20150213/batfe-to-ban-common-ar-15-ammo

This ban will cover the common (x)M855 62 grain steel core penetrator tipped (green tip) NATO 5.56 x 45 ammunition. i just found this article posted on Quayle's website this evening after getting home. Already, the supplier I just ordered from is out of stock. SO are a few others. I haven't searched deeply yet, but if you can find it, buy it.

Guess the shit penetrates DHS/TSA/stasi body armor, or something.

I always get the spelling confused. When I first saw a 'Coexist' sticker, the CONUS ANG was spraying COREXIT 9500/9527A on behalf of British Petroleum all over the Gulf of Mexico, trying to sink the 'evidence' (in order to avoid the fines imposed because of the MASSIVE oil spill).

Patriotism is but a euphemism for nationalism. After the latter set in motion two World Wars in the span of one generation, prescient people concluded that it needed to be permanently consigned to the dustbin of history. America opted to redress it in a new cloth instead.

I hate that quote.  It is moronically simple.  Explanation:

A man/woman/person being patriotic is not a bad thing.  I consider myself quite patriotic.  The problem is that these people hear that quote and are completely outraged that you call their honor into question.  Rightly so at that.  The problem isn't their honor at all.  The problem is they're brainwashed and don't understand the reality of what they are putting their honor behind.  Is better not to insult these people.  Education is better.

The leader who uses any means to take advantage of the aboves' patriotism is the scoundrel to whom the quote refers but the quote does not make this extremely salient point clear. 

'"The last refuge of scoundrels" who con others into murdering and dying for the scoundrels benefit' or some such might be better for both accuracy amd education.

Patriotism:

On the other hand, the cheapest form of pride is national pride; for the man affected therewith betrays a want of individual qualities of which he might be proud, since he would not otherwise resort to that which he shares with so many millions. The man who possesses outstanding personal qualities will rather see most clearly the faults of his own nation, for he has them constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool, who has nothing in the world whereof he could be proud, resorts finally to being proud of the very nation to which he belongs. In this he finds compensation and is now ready and thankful to defend, … all the faults and follies peculiar to it.

(From 'Parerga and Paralipomena', Vol. 1, Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life, 'What A Man Represents', pp. 360, A. Schopenhauer)

The framework was laid in 1798 with the Alien and Sedition Act....before the ink was even dry on The Constipation. How convenient this law turned out to be later on, for tyrants like Wilson, and Lincoln.

All of it, in the name of National Security. Of course, like any other activity in which The State engages, a contradiction arises. If The People make up a "Nation," how does incarcerating executing The People, actually secure The People?

Your question is easy to answer in the case of a murderer.

Where we run into trouble is when we start talking about Democracy and majorities.  A majority is 51%.  All you have to do is convince the 51% in a a democracy that the 49% are a danger to the majority and they must be removed.  Of course, that is the extreme.  2-3% is very vulnerable indeed.

I went to Australia about 15 years ago looking for some freedom and all I got was stopped at the aiport for bringing in eyedrops without a prescription.  Yes you need a prescription for eyedrops there.  When I got to Sydney, the whole place was littered with cameras and security.  Cameras on the roof of all the taxi cabs, cameras on every corner, cameras everywhere.  Check points when walking into their parks, bouncers in every freaking bar you walk into, even the small bars.  The whole place was a giant police state dude.  Couldn't wait to GTF out of there.

Does Australia have political royal families like the USA,... aside from being a great constitutional monarchy I mean.

- You know we might get Jeb Bush
- Then plan to recycle the Obama Family if one of the daughters is ready at some point
- Mitt Romeny is a great banker family now, but he is down playing that and has lots of kids
- Rockefellers still prominent
- Gore Miracle is not so far in the past
- Kerry has State Depart Experience, so he is still viable
- Chelsea Clinton married a Financier if I remember
- Rand Paul is confident of his chances, he could start a new dynasty if he won
- Must be some Kennedy's some place

WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of immigrants benefiting from President Barack Obama's executive actions could get a windfall from the IRS, a reversal of fortune after years of paying taxes to help fund government programs they were banned from receiving.

Armed with new Social Security numbers, many of these immigrants who were living in the U.S. illegally will now be able to claim up to four years' worth of tax credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, that's a maximum of nearly $24,000, as long as they can document their earnings during those years.

I see a Trend here with compliant illegals become some kind of citizen... except maybe they want to secede and for Aztlan' like La Raza wants.

- Oh, Obama wants to increase tax credits, he has never seen my work apparently

IRS, Payment where earned income credit exceeds liability for tax 2014 = $60.09 Billion
IRS, Payment where earned income credit exceeds liability for tax 2013 = $57.5 Billion
IRS, Payment where earned income credit exceeds liability for tax 2000 = $26 Billion
IRS, Payment where earned income credit exceeds liability for tax 1998 = $23.2 Billion

IRS, Payment Where Child Tax Credit Exceeds Liability for Tax 2014 = $21,49 Billion
IRS, Payment Where Child Tax Credit Exceeds Liability for Tax 2013 = $21.6 Billion
IRS, Payment Where Child Tax Credit Exceeds Liability for Tax 2000 = $806 Million (Million)
IRS, Payment Where Child Tax Credit Exceeds Liability for Tax 1998 = Zero.....

Current total is $81.5 Billion a year, despite the lie in the article for a lower number.

Let's Predict: $125 Billion per year Minimum for 2015 or when Obama's plan kicks in.

2014 Federal Outlays for SNAP, Child Nutrition, & WIC = $102 Billion
2013 Federal Outlays for SNAP, Child Nutrition, & WIC = $109 Billion
2008 Federal Outlays for SNAP, Child Nutrition, & WIC = $60 Billion
2004 Federal Outlays for SNAP, Child Nutrition, & WIC = $45 Billion
2000 Federal Outlays for SNAP, Child Nutrition, & WIC = $32 Billion
1998 Federal Outlays for SNAP, Child Nutrition, & WIC = $33 Billion

Department of Health and Human Services (MEDICAID):
2014 Outlays Federal Grants to States for Medicaid = $301 Billion
2013 Outlays Federal Grants to States for Medicaid = $256 Billion
2008 Outlays Federal Grants to States for Medicaid = $201 Billion
2004 Outlays Federal Grants to States for Medicaid = $176 Billion
2000 Outlays Federal Grants to States for Medicaid = $118 Billion
1998 Outlays Federal Grants to States for Medicaid = $101 Billion

Predict: $530 Billion per year for the big pieces of Welfare, say $630 Billion for everything except government admin of HUD & HHS.

Hm Starts adding up to real MONEY DOESN'T IT.

BTW How do Government Transfer payments to the rest of the world Peak in 2011, $55.6 Billion, after the Recession, then decline sharply if they weren't pay offs??

Not to dimiss your list but, what about the other 99.9% of "Americans" who take it in the ass from those on your list?

Does that include you?

Honest folks dont need to hide the truth. If ya got nothing to hide?

 Heres the thing. If you want the truth all you need to do is A stop lying to yourself and B think about it for a bit. So forcing everybody to keep quiet wont work.

"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - Orwell

This situation occurs due to the truth becoming the enemy of the state.

Thus, tellers of the truth also become enemies of the state.

Totalitaranism 101 - It doesn't matter what they call it [communism/fascism/oligarchy/monarchy/etc]. The results for the people are always the same and never good. All for them and none for you. Heads we win tails you lose.

This is the USA today.

"This situation occurs due to the truth becoming the enemy of the state."

Good stuff, but I would put forth that ALL states are a lie at inception, which is why they attempt to massage, and control speech, and thought, right from the get go. Additionally, psychopaths are typically driven to power, and psychopaths are genetically, violently, allergic to the truth.

All states are nothing but criminal syndicates of theft and violence.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

Even immediately after the founding of the Constitutional republic found the psychopaths creating the Sedition Acts in 1798.

Not sure here. EDIT: oops thought you said "driven from power"

If old Europe is running this Anglo-American Cartel, it is like the Royals and the old Banker Families seem to disappear from history but are still hugely powerful and involved. Well like Prince Bernhardt & Rothschilds. What happened to the Warburg family, name change?

I guess I don't know banking very well. I just assume the PTB on Wall Street & the FED are descendents.

Brown Brothers Harriman... their names have faded, but they got minions like Adolf Bush to do their work for them.

Invisible Ceiling? Puppet Masters are invisible.

Don't you support the original Republic?  Isn't that a state?  Let's be consistent.

Kubrick shot it on what would become the soundstage for 2001: A Space Odyssey, then confessed to it in The Shining.

See Danny's sweater in the hall scene.

"See Danny's sweater in the hall scene."

Actually it is not just the sweater, but the carpet as well. It is an almost exact match for the layout of the Apollo rocket launch site. So the carpet in conjunction with the sweater, and the way it is filmed, makes a strong case.

The banksters need to repay us.

New patriot rule books will be available soon, after they have been translated from early 1940's German, and Soviet era Russian, and then consolidated together.

The banksters need to repay us.

 

Speech in a totalitarian state: "Don't talk, but then be tortured to talk." Funny how that works.

They should repost the propaganda posters for WWI on ZH more often.

Maybe more people would question TPTB. Must be some damaging images on those things. A knife cuts both ways after all.
