State Senator Proposes to ID Bicycle “Operators”:

(Scott Roberts, Freedom Foundation) For the past few years, the Freedom Foundation has published our “Big Spenders” list. As a result of I-960, the Office of Financial Management is required to calculate the 10-year cost of any bill that proposes a new tax or a new fee. We then take all the bill sponsors and add up these projected costs, and publish a rank-ordered list. It’s informative for taxpayers to know which legislators propose bills that increase the cost of government and legislators who don’t.

It’s stunning how much government growth—at the expense of taxpayers—is proposed by some legislators.

I’m heading up the project this year, so lately I’ve been up to my ears wading through bills from this past session. I have to give credit to Anne Marie Gurney, our ace research analyst for digging up this bill information. It’s Senate Bill 6301, and it proposes to license bicycle “operators”.

My Commentary: According to the article, “the Senator says this bill was proposed because of constituent complaints about cyclists who were a traffic nuisance and who were urinating in people’s yards–and identification numbers are needed to file complaints with the authorities.”

Good thing that the complaints weren’t against pedestrians, eh?

No matter how peaceful our behavior is, the government always eventually creates some sort of pretext to interject itself into the equation as our Accuser, turned Gatekeeper, on the matter (but, of course). We are being branded guilty until proven innocent with every single oppressive measure like this that is even suggested, let alone passed! Every new law makes a new crime – or, should I say “pre-crime,” in cases like this (just like so many others)! Meanwhile, the prisons continue to overflow with more and more Individuals convicted of VICTIMLESS OFFENSES!

These professionally-lying, morally-bankrupt, sociopathic so-called “representatives” are slowly but surely criminalizing our humanity, while legalizing their criminality, right before our very eyes! Wake up and smell the tyranny!

Defend the Job of Police and Blame Those Who Join, or Implicate Both Institution and Individuals as the Problem?

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Cop Block“…

Rayn:

"Cops: What my friends think I do, What sympathizers think I do, What kids think I do, What society thinks I do, What I want to do, What I actuallu do."

“Cops: What my friends think I do, What sympathizers think I do, What kids think I do, What society thinks I do, What I want to do, What I actually do.”

Murilo M.: The problem is not the police itself, the problem is the people who join the police, there are lots of people out there who are corrupt and violent and evil, and some of these people join the police. It is not the police that is the problem, it is the bad people within the police who are the problem. There is no such thing as an evil institution, there are only evil people inside the institutions who corrupt the institutions.

Rayn: In the US, the problem is both the institution, *and* the individual, working together. To begin, as agents of the State, police officers are literally hired, trained and paid to initiate force against, and extort money from, peaceful citizens for victimless “crimes.” The “War on Drugs” serves as a perfect example of this, and truly stands out, right in plain view, as a form of State-instituted Cultural genocide – with daily kidnappings, beatings, murders, imprisonments, rapes, tortures, and forced medical procedures to prove it! To wear the police uniform is to wear the guilt of this ongoing atrocity against humanity. Yet, to even seek out the uniform while being fully aware that police have been, and currently are, engaging in a nationwide “War on Drugs” is also absolutely evidence of individual guilt, too.

Secondly, entire police departments have been exposed time and time again for enforcing rights-violating ticket quotas against citizens as a matter of top-down policy, as well as enacting racist, harassing, guilty-until-proven-innocent-based “stop and frisk” practices, also ordered from the top- down, against communities. Yet again, these are more institutional policies, and once again, they are being willfully enacted by individuals, as well…

Finally, if and when police do get caught engaging in outright criminal activity while on duty, most receive the full and immediate support of their entire department, along with undue time and opportunity to collaborate with each other and review their own evidence before making official statements. And, if they are even investigated after those efforts, it is by none other than more members of the police force, along with various other agents of the State… And, if all of these justice-obstructing activities and agents don’t keep them from the courthouse, then the judicial branch swoops in to dutifully shield these criminal cops from as much responsibility, accountability, and repercussions as possible, whenever possible!

Dash Cam Shows Officer Pushing Over Man in Wheelchair:

(Indianapolis) The Lafayette Police Department released dash cam video Wednesday of an October 2013 incident that led to one man’s arrest and an officer’s suspension.

Police were called to the Excel School at 617 N. Ninth St. on Oct. 1, 2013, on reports of a man who said he had a handgun in his backpack.

The man, Nicholas Kincade, who is a paraplegic and is confined to a wheelchair, did not have a gun, but did have a pocket knife.

At the request of school administrators, police issued Kincade a warning for trespassing, and then he was free to go, police said.

As the video shows, Kincade rolled his wheelchair forward, running over the foot of Lt. Tom Davidson, who then pushed Kincade.

My Commentary: When a cop violently shoves a paraplegic man he just ticketed to the ground, along with his wheelchair, and arrests him for “battery on a police officer,” all because the man accidentally ran over the swine’s cloven hoof with his mobility scooter upon leaving, you are living in a police state…

Did this hot-headed bully get his job in spite of his hair-trigger-temper, or because of it?

Discussing the Indistinguishability Between DemoCrackPots and RepubliConArtists

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “DemoCrackPots and RepubliConArtists are Indistinguishable!“…

Rayn: 

“role models. juststatisthings”

“role models. juststatisthings”

When the skull-faced war-vampire on the left croaked, “impeachment is off the table,” back in November of 2006, those remaining blue party voters actually worth their weight in integrity should have instantly vacated the two-party circus for reality, finally understanding the DemoCrackPots to be indistinguishable from the RepubliConArtists in regards to the most serious and pressing issues facing America at the time: Bush’s crimes against peace (wars of aggression in Afghanistan & Iraq), crimes against humanity (regularly drone bombing civilians in Pakistan), and war crimes (policy of torture)! Refusing to hold Bush accountable was obstruction of justice, and was really only done to satisfy the demands of the war-profiteering companies that sponsor the two bought-and-sold fraud parties. The slime-ball Republican “representatives” were raking in cash, hand-over-cloven-hoof, and greedy Democratic “representatives” wanted a turn to collect their own “fair share” of the spoils of war.

Though I was born Individually Sovereign, it might surprise some to learn that I was, in fact, raised as a Democrat, by Democratic parents. And, while I did often struggle with the seemingly-illogical idea of voting for an ultra-wealthy, professionally-lying sociopath to somehow “represent” my voice, especially after enduring almost four years of state-created-yet-state-as-a-solution-based homelessness in my adolescence – it was only after just a single round of reluctantly voting for my very first new master that I quickly lost what little faith I had in the whole racket, upon witnessing Gore’s politically-motivated, tail-tucking retreat from conflict in the face of Bush’s obviously-stolen election. It was downright pathetic and cowardly. And, as I was no longer willing to associate myself with such weak and ineffectual charlatans, I walked away from their puppet show, and never looked back…

After some time, I registered for the Green Party, and took my very next small step towards the goal of full political emancipation! Soon after, I registered for the Libertarian Party. Since then, I’ve continued to take many more little steps down the path of liberty.

So, to all of the other recovering DemoRepubliCrats out there, here’s a question: when did you first realize that you had a political problem?

Alison K.: I wanted to register as a libertarian (before the term was hijacked by the nutso right) but you cannot register as part of the libertarian party in NYS… just as well. I’ve slowly learned over the last 15 years how the system is not broken, as I once thought, but has been very cleverly crafted against us. I used to get mad, but no longer. Now my anger seems to be with my fellow citizenry who are seemingly content worrying about non issues, like who can marry who and what celebrities are doing. It infuriates me that these are the people who vote.

Rayn: Exactly! It’s like a phrase I once read off a protest sign:

“The system ain’t broken. It’s fixed!”

Alison K.: Btw, skull-faced war-vampire is my new favorite insult

DemoCrackPots and RepubliConArtists are Indistinguishable!
