Imperial Wars praised in Brazoria County Texas

Published February 8th, 2010 in Culture and Current Affairs. 0 Comments

Plans are underway to construct a new memorial dedicated to the veterans of Brazoria County. . THe memorial will be called the ring of honour, although it is more like a ring dedicated to fiction and imperial wars.

The problem is that they have chosen to limits those honoured to the veterans from World War I onward. Such a move allows those behind the memorial to avoid political incorrectness. As part of the memorial, they will include a letter referencing the tyrant Abraham Lincoln that was mentioned in the movie “Saving Private Ryan”. The choice of the latter is fitting. Abraham Lincoln wanted an empire and began the process of building it. To choose a letter from a fictional account for a memorial also paint a poignant picture. It makes a statement that “all the memorial is a fiction” dedicated to a fiction. On the surface it appears to be an honour, but the reality is they will only honour those who fought to protect or expand the imperial aims of the States United (aka the empire).

Even though the County played a significant role in the War of Secession from Mexico, and the War of Northern Aggression, those veterans are ignored. Those wars were to defend the homes and families of the people living in Brazoria County. In the minds of the powers that be (County Commissioners), ONLY those who serve the purposes of the empire are worthy of such honour. Those who fought and died defending their homes do not. Never mind that the Battles of Caney Creek and Velasco were fought within the county, such fights to protect the home are not worthy of being honoured.

The County ignores the fact that the highest ranking general ever killed in combat (Albert Sidney Johnston) called Brazoria County home. Never mind the fact that he served as a general in three armies of three nations, in the eyes of those people trying to avoid controversy, he has been relegated to the ignore file.

The events of Brazoria County Texas are not unique. In many communities, people want to honour veterans, but as they kowtow to political correctness and avoid controversy, they end up sending a confused message, like Brazoria County. Rather than being an expression of thanks, the memorial has turned into a glorification of fictions and wars to expand the imperialism of the nation. Such memorials do not honour those who defended their homes from invaders and tyrants, but rather defending “American” interests overseas and expansion of American power.

As we approach the high holy days in Texas where the Alamo and Goliad are remembered, let us not fall into worship of imperial wars thinking that we are honouring heroes and those brave men and women who thought they were defending their homes.

Liberty for Texas and the South!

Austin, get ready to take it…

Published February 6th, 2010 in Economic Independence. 0 Comments

Austin, Texas will soon experience the joy of Xcel Energy in their Pecan Street project. The Pecan Street Project is a prototype smart grid being built through a joint collaboration in Austin. The catch is that Austin Energy is associated with Xcel energy. This is the same company that is socking it to the citizens of Boulder to recoup the costs of setting up a smart grid in that city. Xcel is charging all the people in the state of Colorado for Boulder’s smart grid (real smart, eh?). Will the same thinking happen here in Texas? When you have the same players, doing the same thing (building a smart grid), can you expect anything less than the same outcome? Austin Energy and Xcel energy now charge ‘green’ customers more for energy than conventional customers. Heck, the same person who spearheaded the Boulder grid (Michael Carlson) is now on board with Gridpoint which is working with Austin Energy at the Pecan Street project. Once they have a centrally controlled grid, will the situation change? When past behavior is the best indicator of future behaviours, then Austinites had better get ready to pay more.

If Austin wants to do its own thing, let them do it. Just don’t expect all the people in Texas to pay for their things, like the people in Colorado are having to do for the Boulder smart grid. The smart grid amounts to nothing more than bringing central planning to utilities, which we do not need.

PC Food

Published February 5th, 2010 in Food and Drink. 0 Comments

Political correctness continues becoming increasingly weird. It has now moved to foods. When the Denver school district served “Southern ” cuisine last month in honour of MLK, some of the locals were offended. Despite MLK coming from the South and liking Southern food, it was deemed offensive to serve food with such a label. The food was deemed ‘racist’ and condemned by the local PC crowd. So the next time you want “Southern” fried chicken, collard greens or other Southern delicacies, the PC crowd will be watching.

(If their protest was truly in the ’spirit’ of MLK, they should have considered a food strike. Perhaps insist on ‘chinese food’ or russian food instead of Southern food. Perhaps have the kids engage in a massive food fight so that they will all be arrested. MLK did it so why not Denver?)

Smart Grid anyone?

Published February 4th, 2010 in Economic Independence, Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

If you ever had any doubts about the wisdom of the smart grid, consider that recently utility companies have come under cyber-attacks. Under the smart grid, the control for utilities will be centralized. In other words, all the cyber attacks would have to do is to attack one place rather than the many energy grids currently in existence. The danger has already been documented due to the vulnerabilities posed by smart grids.

Is is surprising that the nearby CONgress Critter, Lloyd Doggett is pushing the smart grid? He managed to obtain $10.5 BILLION dollars to promote the Pecan Street Project (smart grid) for portions of Austin. There are many other CONgress critters wanting to sell us down the river with this new technology. Bear in mind that Obama wanted 40 Billion for this technology. Doggett has jumped when Obama says frog and in return, he garnered 1/4 of those funds for this project. (Gee how did he manage to capture 1/4 of all those funds?). This was during a time that BAE systems which produces vehicles for the military in Sealy was declined. While Sealy hemorrhages from the loss of the BAE contract (2 Billion), Dogget and Pecan Street are flush with cash (10.5 Billion). Ironically the contract for such vehicles went to a company in Oshkosk , Wisconsin ( a district represented by Democrat Steve Kagan of Appleton, Wisconsin). Politics anyone? Texas looses 10,000 jobs, but Doggett and his cronies are riding high, while others in Sealy and throughout Texas are out of jobs.

There are better ways to deal with energy than the ’smart grid’. Many of these ideas could be put in place now rather than wait for the ‘promises’ of the smart grid and the dangers it poses for the energy system of the nation.

Once again, the answer is less government, not more of it. We need more private enterprise and less government policies. Government needs to get out of the way and let free enterprise unleash on the energy field.

Democrats begin waking up

Published February 4th, 2010 in Political Well Being. 0 Comments

The Democratic Governor’s Association has woken up to the potential threat of the tea party movement. Their spokesperson, Colleen Turentine said, “If they had their way, how many states would even stay in the U.S.?” Her comment was music to my ears. The DGA sees what the ultimate solution is. They see the writing on the wall. They cannot hold onto power with such people running around. President Jefferson Davis told us that the issues behind the war would resurface in another time and another form.

The answer to the problems is NOT more government. We do not need more government programs, more government spending, or more government regulations, we need just the opposite. We need LESS government. We need fewer government programs, fewer regulations, less interference, and lower taxes. We need the feds out of Texas! We need the feds out of the South!

What happened to the 4th amendment?

Published February 4th, 2010 in Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

In another scathing attack on Constitutional rights, a federal task force (would it be anythings else) is now wanting a back door to web user’s private data. Rather than respect the Constitution, which states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”, the FEDERAL agencies want to be able to snoop immediately. They do not want to wait for warrants and approvals. They want it and they want it NOW.

This recommendation shows the continued hubris of the empire. They not only want to violate your rights, they want to do it faster. They want people to have little or no privacy. The irony is that the whole basis of Roe v. Wade was that the Supreme Court believed that people have a right to privacy and that not having access to abortions violated that right. Talk about convoluted logic! Bottom line is do we or do we not have a right to privacy. If the empire followed its own logic, abortion would be done away with, not based on moral grounds but based on the fact that they do not respect anyone’s privacy, unless you are a Usurper occupying the oval office and refuse to release passport, medical, academic or birth record information.

The situation gets even weirder when taken in the context of google now joining forces with NSA in the name of cybersecurity. What does it mean? It means that search data is no longer something done anonymously. The empire wants to know what you read and they know have a way of tracking it.

Weird goings on at IRS

Published February 3rd, 2010 in Economic Independence. 0 Comments

Not only is the IRS hiring new employees, it seems that now they want to arm them! In a notice that went up on 2 February 2010, the IRS is wanting to purchase shotguns for its agents. For what is reportedly a ‘voluntary’ compliance with their demands, the use of shotguns makes it look like “mandatory” voluntary compliance. It is also interesting to note that the IRS has made a point of hiring many ex-military in its operations.

Just connecting the dots folks. More IRS agents+shotguns+ex-military hires=ominous future for tax payers

Gone are the days when the US government was wholly supported by duties collected on imports. The founders never intended wages to be taxed, but….thanks to the tyrant Abe Lincoln who established the precedent of doing so, it is now established by practice.

In a free Southern Nation, the government would be funded by tariffs and duties. There would be some taxes, yet they would be limited to specific objects, not income. Each state would collect the taxes for that state, rather than a national police force doing the job (with shotguns at that!). I wonder if their agents will have to provide firearm proficiency in order to carry those 12-gauge pump-action numbers they will be holstering?

Backdoor Taxes Story Removed.

Published February 2nd, 2010 in Economic Independence, Current Affairs and Political Well Being. 0 Comments

This morning, Yahoo reported that the backdoor taxes were going to hit the middle class. Soon after the story running, it was removed from the US site.. The Canadian version is still up though, which allows access. The removal is reported at the request of the White House. It seems that the regime does not want the truth to come out about the increase in taxes.

It seems that the regime found a way around the campaign promise to not raise taxes on the middle class. They just allow the tax cuts to run out, and allow taxes to rise by default. It is just that as the public, you are supposed to be too dumb to realize that. It even came out that Emanuel Rahm considers (left wing) protesters ‘retarded’.
 His comments show the disdain the regime has for the citizens of the land whether they are members of his party or the opposition.

Seeing the censorship of the news in such a manner tells me several things. 1) The regime does not want the truth to get out, 2) The regime censors the news 3) That the present media environment is one that is subject to manipulation and control. 4) the regime views us as ignorant retards.

The propaganda department of the regime is at work and like most government workers, left the job half-done.

If you have not read the story, you may want to read it while it is still on line.

New Flu concerns:Duke Death Cluster

Published February 2nd, 2010 in Health. 0 Comments

In sorting through the news of the day, there is a story about how researchers have developed a ‘new flu’ virus by combining old flu viruses. The new one is called the Duke Death Cluster. The creation of such viruses also occurred in Australia. Now that it has been invented, it will not take long before it is released. Accompanying the release will likely be the usual dog and pony show regarding vaccinations and immunization. This is like something out of the Mission Impossible movie where Ballerephon was created so that the drug companies could make money on its treatment. Another case of life imitating fiction.

I mention this in the blog, since the empire often uses such tools to force its programs on us and make the case why we need the empire in the first place. Once it is released, then they can say you need us to protect you. It was not bad enough that they harvested the Spanish Flu, but now they have found ways of improving it (i.e. making it more deadly).

The pattern of disease, then panic, then government programs is not new by any means.
This is not the first time mass illnesses have hit the empire. Recall that the Easter Plague (aka Asiatic Cholera) of 1832 spread panic throughout the nation. When it ran its course, it was mainly in the Yankee states and New York where the infections were worse. The Southern States and those along the Mississippi fared well. The government could save them then, and it is not the government’s job to save us. The best thing is for government to leave us alone. Leave diseases alone, leave plagues alone, and leave health care alone.

Bank sues customer:The depression is here.

Published February 1st, 2010 in Economic Independence. 0 Comments

A Texas bank, yes I said a Texas bank is suing its customer after the customer was the victim of a cyber attack on its account. The bank, Plains Capitol Bank took the bold move after its customer’s account was hacked into and depleted of $800,000. The action raises questions about who is responsible for cyber security of bank accounts. The bank claims that the theft of the money from its accounts were not their fault.

This kind of wackiness is sure to spread as businesses and people become more desperate to hold onto the funds they have in their hands. As we continue sinking into this depression, Larry Summers, the financial guru of this bunch has declared that “The Obama policies are working!”. If this is working, one has to be concerned about the end product.

As Summers makes his claims, more of the infrastructure around the nation is being sold to foreign governments and entities. We are being sold off piecemeal while the regime makes wild promises of recovery. Some are already envisioning that in Obama’s amerika, all will work for the government.

We NEED a free South. We NEED a free people. We NEED to reclaim what is rightfully ours.
