Our
right to defend ourselves: The major thing that would prevent a repeat of the VT killings is a law to restore our right to keep and bear arms, ESPECIALLY in schools. Our
right to defend ourselves: YES! Join this effort this week! Even if you carry concealed, and even if you don’t go on a college campus, wear an empty holster this week! Better than a ribbon! Mama's Note: Only if I carry a second holster. The first one remains filled with my trusty revolver. (Read the rest here)
Jews
For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership JPFO ALERT: JPFO ANNOUNCES "GOODY GUNS" FOR KIDS Aaron Zelman, founder and director of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), unveiled a new program today to counteract the unceasing lies and dangerous propaganda of the victim disarmament (gun control) lobby -- lies and propaganda mostly aimed at a captive audience of children in the public school system, and spread like a disease by the mass media -- while providing hours of wholesome family fun. The program, called "Goody Guns" consists of a special cookie cutter in the shape of a semiautomatic pistol. With the supervision and help of the adults in their lives, boys and girls can turn their own kitchens into "Arsenals of Liberty" by making gun-shaped cookies to keep and share, while absorbing firearms safety lessons the public schools would never teach them, and which the mass media don't want to see being taught.

New for Tuesday! The
Texas Triangle: Terror and Treason “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” -- George W. Bush, Aug. 5, 2004 The Texas Triangle is formed by three cities. From Houston in the north it extends an hour's drive east to Beaumont, and a half an hour's drive south to Galveston. The Gulf of Mexico extends from Beaumont to Galveston, and forms the bottom of the triangle. Predominated by the petrochemicals industry, it is the most target-rich industrial district in America. My first analysis of it as a terror target, Don't laugh at duct tape; it saves lives, was published by The Houston Chronicle on 2/23/03. Within half a year federal officials were teaching local law enforcement and first responders its conclusion, which was that Houston, the heart of the Texas Triangle, was the most likely place in the nation for the next 9/11. When I wrote the analysis, I had no doubts about the official 9/11 story, and was trying to reactivate my commission to go fight in the Middle East. (Read the rest here)
Tell
me why the States needed the so-called The intent and wording of the Second Amendment has been the subject of debate for many years. Opponents of the individual right to keep and bear arms claim the right enumerated in the Amendment is a "collective right" that pertains to the States' militias. When these groups and individuals make this claim, proponents of the individual right interpretation attempt to justify their position by turning to the wording of the Second Amendment. In the author's opinion, this is a huge mistake because it limits the debate and does not force proponents of the "collective right" interpretation to substantiate their assertion. If the States needed a so-called "collective right" amendment 3 years after the Constitution was adopted, then what fact or event necessitated the addition of such an Amendment? The next time you engage in a discussion, ask the proponent of the "collective right" interpretation this simple question: Tell me why the States needed the so-called "collective right" Second Amendment?

How
the Failures of Welfare Reform Created Our Lawless Courts (Part One)
Despite the best of intentions, the programs developed within our "Welfare Reform" of the 1990's served as the major funding sources used by the states to promote single-parent families. This resulted in the decay of the cornerstone of our society, marriage and intact, functioning family. We are told by both major American political parties that our “welfare reform” of the 1990 is a success because there are fewer people on the welfare roles today. Although a correct statement, at what cost to our society, families, partenthood and marriage? What this series will examine is how the monetary subsidizing of single parent households, through any method, can have an equal or even greater negative impact on marriage and children as public assistance programs have.

"Al
Gore, the Nobel Peace Prize and Global Warming" Connecting the dots is our business and what the dots connect with Al Gore and the Nobel Peace Prize, smells to high heaven. Alfred Nobel dedicated his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel prizes that were to be awarded to individuals, or groups of individuals, that excelled in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. "However, Nobel may have feared that the highly political nature of the Peace Prize would make it a tool in power politics and thereby reduce its significance as an instrument for peace. A prize committee selected by a rather progressive parliament from a small nation on the periphery of Europe, without its own foreign policy and with only a very distant past as autonomous military power, may perhaps have been expected to be more innocent in matters of power politics than would a committee from the most powerful of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden.

Hidden
Agendas in the Global AIDS Campaign Over the last 25 years, scientists have sampled a smorgasbord of strategies to halt the spread of AIDS: anti-retroviral drugs, vaccines, HIV testing, and so-called "safe sex" advice. Yet this modern-day Black Plague still spreads unchecked and now claims 3 million lives each year. "Unqualified failure" is the phrase that leaps to mind. But a few years ago someone came up with a bright new idea - why not have people take a protective drug just before becoming exposed to the deadly Human Immunodeficiency Virus? Hence the idea of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis - PREP - was born. Enterprising scientists cranked out research proposals and drug companies revved up production lines. (Read the rest here)

The Archives The truth is that our own government is running a scam. An economic swindle the size of which the world has never seen. Pretending that the same money can be both spent and saved, the federal government uses “special” nonmarketable debt instruments placed in black hole debit accounts that have little or no resemblance to real trust funds. They do this to defraud the taxpaying public. These so-called "trusts" require the taxpaying public to pay or repay the same amounts a second time plus interest. In the latter case, it’s double taxation plain and simple (plus interest) and what I call the “Pay-It-Again Sam scam." (Read the rest here)
The
Future of Freedom Foundation It is unappreciated today that an earlier American culture was anti-militarist. In his classic study The Civilian and the Military: A History of the American Antimilitarist Tradition (1956), historian Arthur A. Ekirch Jr. wrote, "The tradition of antimilitarism has been an important factor in the shaping of some two hundred years of American history." This tradition, Ekirch notes, stretched back to England, where until the seventeenth century the militia, not a standing army, provided defense and was unsuited to aggressive war. This attitude was carried to the New World, where "subordination of military to civil power became the cardinal principle it was in England." Anti-militarism colored much political thinking as the new country took shape. The Pennsylvania constitution declared a peacetime standing army a "danger to liberty [and] ought not to be kept up."

The
Independent Institute The state is the most destructive institution human beings have ever devised—a fire that, at best, can be controlled for only a short time before it o’erleaps its improvised confinements and spreads its flames far and wide. Whatever promotes the growth of the state also weakens the capacity of individuals in civil society to fend off the state’s depredations and therefore augments the public’s multifaceted victimization at the hands of state functionaries. Nothing promotes the growth of the state as much as national emergency—war and other crises comparable to war in the seriousness of the threats they pose. (Read the rest here)
Individual
Liberty - 101 "The humanitarian in theory is the terrorist in action." Most of the harm in the world is done by good people, and not by accident, lapse, or omission. It is the result of their deliberate actions, long persevered in, which they hold to be motivated by high ideals toward virtuous ends. This is demonstrably true; nor could it occur otherwise. The percentage of positively malignant, vicious, or depraved persons is necessarily small, for no species could survive if its members were habitually and consciously bent upon injuring one another. Destruction is so easy that even a minority of persistently evil intent could shortly exterminate the unsuspecting majority of well-disposed persons.

External Articles Acting
Like Serfs, Treated Like Serfs These days it's hard to keep up with all the stories about official government misconduct and police brutality. So what is it that makes so many "law enforcers" treat the rest of us like vermin to be stomped upon? If ours is a "servant government," as the Founders stated, why is it that those in positions of power act so much like our masters? It is both easy and appropriate to blame the individual megalomaniacs who abuse their power, but the world has never had a lack of nasty people. So why is it that symptoms of a police state seem to be showing up more and more often in this country? A major cause is something which probably wouldn't occur to most people, and which most people don't want to hear: They treat us like we are their slaves, because we treat them like they are our masters.

Your Hunt On: It's good for the animals. Do vegetarians benefit from hunting? Well, let's just say that all those vegetarians who have adopted their non-meat eating lifestyles because they abhor harming animals might be in for a real shock. Farms actually depend crucially on the ability to kill animals that eat their crops. So vegetarians might consider whether the fine print under their organic labels actually contains the words "no animals were harmed in the making of this food." With
hunting season starting in various parts of the country, it may be time
to acknowledge what vegetarians, as well as hunted animals, owe to hunters.
