As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following captioned photo, being shared by an acquaintance from here, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

Santucci Farm – Traverse City Cherries: These cherries are beautiful! But, we have to dump 14% of our tart cherry crop on the ground to rot. Why? So we can allow the import of 200 million pounds of cherries from overseas! It just doesn’t seem right. What do you think? Please share this on your Facebook page???. Just to let everyone know we are not allowed to donate or in any way use diverted cherries. I have people who would buy them if I could sell them. Also these are tart cherries with a very short shelf life

My Commentary: US Government Orders Farmers To Destroy 30 Million Pounds Of Their Own Crop:

And, during the “Great Depression,” the State ordered hundreds of millions of pounds of food be destroyed to artificially boost market prices, even while millions of Americans spent years starving.

THIS is the Nature of the State…

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family, after they posted artwork being shared the page, “Young Americans for Liberty“…

Genaire:

“WELFARE: When you love strangers so much that you’re willing to have government steal money from another stranger to help them out.”

Rayn:  WELFARE: When you love *CORPORATISM* so much that you’re willing to have the government steal money from the entire population to line the pockets of billionaire CEOs.

According to the CATO Institute, the U.S. federal government spent almost $97 billion of our tax dollars on corporate welfare during fiscal year 2012:

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Voluntaryism,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Let's see if I've got this correct. You believe people can't govern themselves. But you believe some people can govern hundreds of millions of other people?"

“Let’s see if I’ve got this correct. You believe people can’t govern themselves. But you believe some people can govern hundreds of millions of other people?”

My Commentary: But, without government, how would a criminal-caste of plutocratic parasites manufacture the outward appearance of public consent from an entire “nation” of Individuals in order to supply themselves with blanket-legal-straw-man-cover for their continued use of theft, murder, rape, kidnapping, wars of aggression, and war crimes – all as a matter of policy, and all under the guise that they are actually providing said public with some sort of protection against criminality?
