Freedom Isn't the Problem... It's the Solution
THE BIG PORK
Last
week, I drove down a main road near my house. The local stores -- coffee shops,
pizza parlors, barbers, restaurants, and on -- were all CLOSED.
And yet, two lines stretched back almost a mile.
I took a closer look.
Count me shocked.
They were headed toward two “essential” places of business.
1] Krispy Kreme
AND
2] Starbucks
And, Walmart’s parking lot? You guessed it.
Filled to the brim.
“Had to stop at the local Walmart today. It was PACKED. Just
goes to show you how unethical this lockdown is. I can go to a packed Walmart
to buy art supplies but can’t go to the tiny local art store… The
disproportionate hit to small businesses is criminal.”
And, finally, along this vein, Lori Hendry has also said on
Twitter:
“When the state shuts down millions of private businesses but
doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your
health.
“When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park
with your child because it’s too dangerous, but lets criminals OUT of jail
cells for their health… it’s not about your health.
“When the state tells you it’s dangerous to go golfing alone,
fishing alone, or boating alone, but the governor can get his stage makeup and
hair done for FIVE TV appearances a week… it’s not about your health.”
What is it about, then?
More on that in a moment.
First, a quick story…
USDA
Kitten Cannibalism 101
Governments, as you know, are notorious for waste.
But no government wastes money quite like the ol’ US of A.
For example, last year, the White Coat Waste Project (WCW)
exposed a taxpayer-funded study now infamously known as “USDA Kitten Cannibalism.”
The report revealed how the U.S. government sent federal
employees on taxpayer-funded shopping sprees to…
Wait for it…
Chinese
wet markets.
Why, you ask?
To buy cats and puppies.
Indeed, our “public servants” then had the animals slaughtered,
and brought the body parts back... IN CARRY-ON LUGGAGE!
All so they could feed the body parts to kittens in what the
CWC called “bizarre and wasteful multi-million-dollar kitten cannibalism
experiments.”
Turns out, taxpayer money was responsible for helping to keep
these wet markets open.
Which just goes to show that while Big Gub is great at helping
to create crises…
It’s even better at not letting it go to waste.
Fast-forward to 2020.
The Big
Pork: Waste More, Want More
“Every time the country faces a crisis,” says the Constitutional
activist Roscoe B. Davis, “real or perceived, there is a rush in Congress to
pass massive bills that go far beyond responding to the matter at hand. These
phonebook-sized emergency acts are too long and detailed for any legislator to
read and fully comprehend.
“But we the people can read and it's stuffed with gimmicks,
giveaways, sweetheart deals and ill-advised policies with no bearing on the
COVID-19 crisis itself.”
Back in March we saw that Nancy Pelosi’s wishlist had barely
anything to do with the coronavirus.
The bill, which was… first off... over 1,400 PAGES LONG…
Will go down as one of the biggest pork rolls in history.
$100,000,000 to Nasa, because, who knows why.
$20,000,000,000 to the USPS, because why the hell not
$300,000,000 to the Endowment for the Arts / because f*ck it
$300,000,000 for the Endowment for the Humanities/ because no

$15,000,000 for Veterans Employment Training / for when the GI
Bill isn't enough
$435,000,000 for mental health support / thats a lot of f*****
suicide hotlines
$30,000,000,000 for the Department of Education stabilization
fund/ because that will keep people employed (see sarcasm)
$200,000,000 to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence
Program
$300,000,000 to Public Broadcasting / NPR has to be bought by
the dems
$500,000,000 to Museums and Libraries / Who the hell knows how
we are going to use it
$720,000,000 to Social Security Admin / but get this only
200,000,000 is to help people. The rest is for admin costs

Matt Welch, an editor at Reason, a libertarian magazine, called
the CARES Act "a massive course of
experimental economics" and compared the American public to "laboratory
rats.”
There’s no more “politics of fiscal prudence in America,"
Welch said, "just a competition to see who can wag the biggest fire
hose."
Shocked? I didn’t think so.
As historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. wrote, referring to FDR’s
first inauguration:
"A sharp break with the past did in fact occur in March,
1933. The essence of that break lay precisely in the changes from volunteerism
to law as the means for ordering the economy."
It was, in other words, in 1933 when a “sharp break” from
reliance on the individual to reliance on the “collective” (state) took place.
Without complete dependence on Big Gov, after all, who would arrest
hairstylists, bar owners, and waitresses for the crime of wanting (see needing)
to work?
How about we inject some sanity into “the debate that never
was”:
Freedom isn’t the problem.
It’s the solution.
Postscripts…
Americans
have already seen their constitutional rights brutally compromised as many
state governments continue to lock residents down.
Pelosi's $3 trillion bailout bill is filled with nonsensical pork...she's daft!
We have all likely seen the
reports that food shortages are coming. This seems to be the one thing that the
mainstream media and alternative media can agree upon. From the health crisis,
we learned that we cannot be fully dependent on stores to have an everlasting
supply of food and everyday living items. Furthermore, some states have
even banned the purchase of seeds, all but making being
self-sufficient “illegal.” But this is still the best way to protect yourself.
If food shortages are coming,
there is a way to prepare yourselves so your family can eat healthy
foods even when the worst happens.
One of the foundational
pillars of civilization is agriculture. On a smaller scale, it’s called
horticulture. And that’s important because the only way to survive a severe
grid-down experience is to have the ability and the knowledge to grow your own
food.
In this Youtube video
from Canadian Prepper, he talks about a one-year test he did to plant a
survival garden. He started with a small, 10 x 10-foot plot and primarily grew
potatoes, carrots, onions, and some green beans. The question was, which of
these foods is the most important for survival?
Heirloom vegetable seeds
are a great thing to have and grow, but don’t depend totally on heirloom seeds.
They don’t present a lot of staple crops providing calorie-dense foods,
although they do provide a nice variety...
