Most of us have figured it out by now, government is nothing more than a racket designed to keep the little guy at bay for its superiors...the bankers and other Wall Street hustlers. --AJ Bayless



 

Crime keeps government in business…

Make a good living as a smuggler-Welcome to the government’s ‘Create-A-Crime’ bureau

 

President John F Kennedy Dad smuggled liquor to the United States during Prohibition while acting as ambassador to England…after all, he had clout and diplomatic immunity and plenty of flatworms in Congress drank to their heart’s content during Prohibition.  As for the rest of the public, well, let them eat cake.

Founding Father John Hancock did not directly participate in the Boston tea party. But he stood to lose the most from the East India Company imports of English tea to Boston. On the other hand Samuel Adams who led the Mohawks aboard the British ships was so close to John Hancock that Bostonians even joked that "Sam Adams writes the letters [to newspapers] and John Hancock pays the postage". You do the math.

John Hancock was a wealthy shipping magnate, who made the bulk of his money illegally by smuggling. Many colonials were smugglers, Hancock just happened to have a flair for it. Because the ever-tightening British policies that came about after the French and Indian War were aimed at his sort, he wholeheartedly took part in the call for Revolution.

It was a well known fact that John Hancock had made his fortune through smuggling Dutch tea, which was cheaper than East Indian tea.
 
 

We always hear of political promises to deliver new jobs and they’re not lying.  Consider every single time the government outlaws something, as it is doing right now with .223 ammo, the price ‘shoots’ up and plenty of profit will be made for those who had previously stockpiled such ammunition.

After all, look at what our government did for a bunch of low-level thugs when it prohibited alcohol!  Feeding the need of citizens and politicians alike became a multi-million dollar business.  If it could work for booze, why not a cheap [not so cheap now] weed called marijuana.  It gave rise to billion dollar drug cartels.

The same applied to tobacco products.  The government created large price hikes in the product by jacking up its ‘sin tax’ which produced a larger revenue source for the government…but now ‘terrorists’ and are profiting from this evil weed…hell, cops in NYC will shoot you for selling a single cigarette as it might be untaxed and therefore dangerous.

Our government’s ‘create-a-crime’ bureau works overtime to make things illegal so they can pretend to fight the crime they made from thin air and they tax you for their efforts or infringe on your rights to ‘fight the bad guys’ with asset forfeiture laws.

A good example of obnoxious create-a-crime laws are our seat belt laws.  We used to have freedom of choice in America but under the new Nanny State rule you must COMPLY or as the ads say Click it or Ticket-Another nifty way for the government to grab some of your cash.  Did you notice they jumped the fine from $25 to $65 and now host surveillance events to pull drivers over for ‘safety’ checks when in reality, it is an excuse to run your name in hopes of nabbing you on an outstanding warrant or to see if you have another ‘contraband’ in your car so the government can cash in.

 
Government has become just another racket
In essence, our court system is just another taxing authority and most ‘fines’ are padded with other court expenses governments use to scam the public.  Crime is good-for government.  It employs a lot of people and brings in a steady revenue stream.  More crime equals for profit and control for government.

When crime rates are down, which the FBI says they are, what does the government do?
Provide military grade weapons to local police AND write more laws to create more crime to justify more law enforcement and courts.

Freedom of Choice-Where does that happen?

Freedom of Choice in the US – You are kidding, aren’t you?

 

A news article on Yahoo asked what citizens would do to help pay for badly needed road repairs in this country.  Without exception everyone responded that we’re all tired of more taxes which the government promptly squanders and wastes on such things as the NSA, TSA, along with the salaries and perks of politicians and bureaucrats.

 

As one writer put it “We’re tired of not having a choice or say-so on anything in this country.  Politicians do as they damned well please without regard to what we, their bosses, say.”

 
It is true…we could fix every road and bridge in this nation if we stopped funding the DHS, TSA, NSA and other agencies that waste our dollars.  After all, with the erosion of our liberties, privacy and freedoms, many argue the terrorists have already won and Americans no longer seem to have any say in the matter.  The citizen is routinely ignored and freedom of choice in this nation is virtually gone, a distant memory of when we used to be a free and prosperous nation.

It’s not possible to do much about income taxes, or the taxes we’re forced to pay on “our” property in order to maintain the fiction we – rather than the government – “own” it.

These taxes eviscerate the “freedoms” which “the troops” are purportedly fighting for, and make a mockery of the annual summer celebration that we call the 4th of July.

I’m very happy I am no longer a child in our public school systems where kids get suspended for wearing a pro NRA shirt or for bringing a plastic knife to cut a sandwich…public schools in America are a horrible place to exercise freedom of choice and zero tolerance policies have thrown common sense right out the door.  Schools have become training camps for becoming politically correct, a place where we’re taught what to think as opposed to how to think.

There is hypocrisy in pretty much everything the government touches.  For instance, it always struck me as odd that once you turn 18 you can enter into contracts, get married, join the military and shoot people…but you can’t have a beer. (The average drinking age in the western world is 19). 

Many have argued too we usually have no choice when it comes to voting for a president as it usually boils down to a ‘choice’ between the lesser of two evils.

As the late great social critic George Carlin once put it, you have the freedom to choose Coke or Pepsi, Chevy or Ford. And that’s pretty much the extent of your freedoms…

What do you think?  You’re not one of the unthinking masses now inhabiting our country are you?

Canine Costs
We are considering getting a dog for our family. We know that we would love it and care for it, but would like to know what sort of financial commitment we would be making. Can anyone tell me approximately how much to budget per month for food, vet visits, kennel costs, and any other expenses we might not know about
? Read more.
