Freedom In Tennessee For Teachers To Teach Hogwash To Our Children

Posted by BuelahMan on April 10, 2012

Bill Haslam (Tennessee governor) will sign the new Tennessee bill that gives teachers the freedom to teach what they “believe” in science. If they don’t believe in evolution and do believe in the creation theory, they will be ok to spread that malarky to our children.

Beware the Monkey Bill

Remember that the narrative comes directly from the Jew Bible… The Torah. This is reason enough to ignore it and throw it into the dustbin of history. Yet, my home state will embrace it like the backwards fools we all seem to be.

B’Man’s Marijuana Watch: Maybe I Don’t Have To Leave Afterall

Posted by BuelahMan on March 27, 2012

I once opined that I would need to move somewhere else. Maybe not.

I can’t believe it will happen, but it seems that someone in my state congress is thinking about the realities of the miracle drug.

Medical Marijuana Bill Advances In State House

They want the strictest governing laws in the country, but it is a start. One Republican law maker (also a physician) is afraid that his fellow doctors are not trained in how to dispense it. Maybe he should read here and learn something.

Quack.

Maybe I could do this for a living when it gets legalized. ARF has his preference.

It appears that Arkansas may beat us to the ballot.

Tennessee’s Bought Representatives and Lame’r Alexander

Posted by BuelahMan on March 8, 2012

Have my fellow Tennesseans paid much attention lately to your representatives and how they vote? How about your beloved Senators?

Video Rebel lists all the representatives that voted to keep you from “protesting” around them. I wanted to share the locals, for your education and possible discussion. I am also including the Mississippi chickenshits, since that is my home state and friends still endure their sorry asses. They are deathly afraid of facing any assembly of folks that might be finally getting fed up with their shenanigans and have signed the latest bill that strips you of even MORE of your rights (I’m sure most will just yawn). The Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011 is a bit more than simply providing Mexican lawn care workers to take care of the grass around Federal Buildings. It is meant for you (well, “you”, meaning those who are awake and want answers).

There are a few that didn’t bow to their Masters in Israel, but they are a minority. Notice that none of them mind spending as much as you make in a year traveling around on junkets, while most are to afraid to spend much time in their district. Remember last summer’s break, when a mass of sycophantic Zionist Jew worshipers took their allegiance trip to Israel? At least Marsha didn’t make that trip. Cohen (a Zionist Jew), however, made his (imagine that).

Tennessee

Yea TN-1 Roe, Phil [R] 3 trips taken between 2009 – 2012 costing $19,250 1 trip to Israel $15,917.

Yea TN-2 Duncan, John [R] 25 trips taken between 2000 – 2011 costing $114,365 No trips to Israel. 1 trip to Aspen Institute.

Yea TN-3 Fleischmann, Chuck [R]
1 trip to Israel taken in 2011 costing $19,763.

Yea TN-4 DesJarlais, Scott [R] 1 trip to Israel taken in 2011 costing $19,636

Yea TN-5 Cooper, Jim [D] 31 trips taken between 2003 – 2012 costing $136,553 No trips to Israel. 1 trip to Aspen Institute.

Yea TN-6 Black, Diane [R] 2 trips taken in 2011 costing $24,990 1 trip to Israel $22,314.

Yea TN-7 Blackburn, Marsha [R] 35 trips taken between 2003 – 2012 costing $68,139 No trips to Israel. 1 trip to Aspen Institute.

Yea TN-8 Fincher, Stephen [R] 2 trips taken in 2011 costing $23,233 1 trip to Israel $20,227.

Yea TN-9 Cohen, Steve [D] 10 trips taken between 2007 – 2011 costing $61,451 2 trips to Israel $19,520. This is the guy who got Jesse Ventura’s episode on Camp FEMA pulled off the air.

Mississippi

Yea MS-1 Nunnelee, Alan [R] No trips anywhere.

Yea MS-2 Thompson, Bennie [D] 57 trips taken between 2000 – 2011 costing $115,549 No trips to Israel.

Yea MS-3 Harper, Gregg [R] 4 trips taken between 2009 – 2011 costing $43,172 1 trip to Israel $17,610.

Yea MS-4 Palazzo, Steven [R] 1 trip to Israel taken in 2011 costing $23,360.

One could look at the list of people who voted for the NDAA and perhaps feel a bit better (Marsha Blackburn DID vote “aye”, showing that she is not interested in preserving our liberties), but not much.

Now to Lame Alexander. I received my monthly email newsletter from him. Apparently, he is very worried about the “checks and balances” that Obama is ruining for Congress. He wrote something about his imaginary outrage here. This is a very slimy man, who also could care less about the Constitution, much less any checks and balances. You know, Lame, if you really were worried, you might work with Congress to impeach the liar, instead of clutching your faux pearls of shame. You might not have voted FOR the patriot Act (and every extension). You might have not voted to continue the bogus Iraq War that you were complicit in getting started (or too stupid to see was a bunch of malarkey). You might have not voted against implementing the 911 Commission’s recommendations (no matter how bogus they were), but better yet, sponsor a new, REAL investigation, since many of the members and its legal council have come out and said it was bogus. You might even vote to dismantle the TSA and certainly work to stop their roadside drug searches in your own state. Maybe you would even call out Israel, but instead, you love them and their “democracy” (apparently more than your own country). Maybe you could fight for American jobs instead of voting to allow corporations to keep their tax free crap from overseas profits.

If the man truly gave more than his obligatory lie, he might not have voted lock-step “yea” on the NDAA. He might actually tell us the truth. He might actually fight for liberties, instead of stripping as many as he can muster.

Oh yeah, as  aside note to all the PaulTards, the bastion for personal liberties didn’t even bother to vote on either of the above mentioned recent bills.

Suckers.

Oh yeah, now Tennesseans have voted to put Santorum on the ballot. Speaking of suckers.

B’Man’s Rants: What Can Be Done To Fix The Country I Love?

Posted by BuelahMan on November 12, 2011

Not Necessarily In Any Particular Order:

Conduct an immediate, independent investigation of 911 (all facets leading up to and after the event). Any and all conspirators and their operatives should be summarily executed upon any finding of guilt (for this would be obvious treason). Any person or organization found to have lied, misrepresented, or hid facts revolving what happened on that fateful day should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (members of the 911 Commission, Zelikow, Bush Admin officials, etc)

“Think Tanks” and other Elitist organizations with obvious blood lust as their mantra should be dismantled and those people held to scrutiny of truth by the American public. No think tank (nor its Zionist operatives,) should be allowed to organize and write battle plans for any military endeavor. No organization or persons should be allowed to blatantly lie about rationale to invade innocent lands and those who did should be prosecuted and held responsible for those lies.

End the “War on Drugs” immediately

End The Empire immediately

End all of wars – Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya… and all proxy wars, coup attempts, and assassinations

Eliminate all off shore military (Empire) bases and bring each and every military personnel home

Eliminate all over-seas money (especially to Israel)

Allow all “Too-Big-To-Fail” banks/corporations to fail like the rest of us when we over-extend or bet away our security.

Abolish Corporate person-hood.

Never vote for a Republican or Democrat (nor any defectors from these parties when we clean house)

Re-balance the power structure of the US Government (Executive power has been increased to dictatorial levels, but to the demise of the congressional power. There should be no presidential “signing statements”. )

Enact campaign finance laws taking corporate money out of elections (heavily scrutinize and hold accountable donations sent to congress people who cater to the whims of that industry: ie; Marsha Blackburn’s heavy telecom money influences her votes regarding legislature that affects them).

Have Term Limits and use a proportional voting system (shorten Senator terms to 4 years and increase Congressional seats to 4)

Minimize congressional pay, retirement and medical benefits (none of these millionaires have done anything to deserve these huge benefits and payouts for the rest of their lives). This should be an honor to serve and no enriching, lifelong career move.

Disallow wives and family members from active participation in congressional matters (example: Max Baucus’ wife). Obvious conflict of interest.

Disallow insider trading of Congressmen (the Congress has 50 times more millionaires than regular citizens, per capita). These people can get inside information and buy/sell stocks. For you or I, this is illegal. For them, its enriching.

Stop the revolving doors of industry/government. Want to know why regulators don’t regulate? Their next employer (the one they are supposed to watch) won’t like it. Look no further than this devil to see why there needs to be no revolving doors (he is responsible for the Patriot Act, much of the Homeland Security apparatus, and untold other secret initiatives AND is an Israeli dual citizen… see next point).

Do not allow dual citizenship personnel to be in our government (there is but one allegiance to as an elected official in America and that is to AMERICA, not Israel, nor any OTHER country). Frankly, as opposed to the Senators who don’t even question such things, I don’t trust anyone who shows allegiance to two different masters. For such devotees can only hate one and love the other or be devoted to one and despise the other (Matt 6:24). They certainly cannot be trusted. Period.

Stop all foreign campaign finance and strongarming by lobbying groups whose allegiance is to another country (AIPAC, as an example). What a Zionist wants for America is NOT what is BEST for America, but is BEST for Israel and their world take-over agenda.

Mandatory disclosure of ALL personal information when running for elected office with exclusion and/or prosecution for those who refuse (never allow a dead beat draft dodger or Kenyan with a Connecticut birth certificate… having never actually lived in Connecticut… become leaders of this country).

Audit the FED… hold the thieves accountable… Close the Fed… enact a viable financial system where the government issues currency backed by precious metals (never allow a fiat currency in this country again)

Eliminate the IRS.

Eliminate personal and corporate income tax.

Eliminate the estate (death) tax.

Abolish Obama Care… implement Single Payer, Not-For-Profit healthcare. (Get the middle man insurance companies out of it.)

Immediately reduce Federal spending by 25%, minimum

Eliminate hundreds of unnecessary Federal agencies, including the FDA, Education, Dept of Agriculture, etc (not to mention all the pork and hidden payouts found deep inside bills)

Abolish the Department of Homeland Security and its entire apparatus (especially the TSA)

Repeal the Patriot Act

Prosecute, imprison or execute the ones (including George W Bush) who are responsible for torture to be conducted in our names. Prosecute and imprison any and all presidents who do not hold these murderers accountable, including Barack Obama. Obama, himself, should be held accountable for the murder of American citizens without a trial.

Balance the Budget

Secure our borders, pursue a sane immigration policy

Please add points of interest or correct anything I may have off base in comments…

Should The Rednecks Go To New York City?

Posted by BuelahMan on October 3, 2011

Tall buildings and bright lights could be the next horizon for us rednecks… that is if we want to help make change in this country. I remember the farmers driving their tractors up there in unity many years ago. I remember the hippies. I remember several instances of protest that seemed to have made a difference. And maybe I just have been brainwashed into believing any of this actually makes a difference.

I don’t know, but I suspect that The Whole F**king Thing’s Coming Down:

Hedge funds, derivatives, tea pot dome

congress isn’t gonna do a single fucking thing
because their campaign contributions all come attached with strings
The Democratic Party is a failing institution
what we need now is a real revolution

But the whole fucking thing is coming down
Yeah the whole fucking thing is coming down

The United States is a global empire
Corporations, well they’re fucking vampires
sucking wealth from the poor
committing wage theft
Hey, who will work for you when we’ve starved to death?

But the whole fucking thing is coming down
Yeah the whole fucking thing is coming down

I’ve got me full time J.O.B.
but that doesn’t mean I can afford to eat
I’ve got student loans, but no degree
so I’m gonna die working at this J.O.B.
No health insurance, we’re all temporary hires
so if we get sick we’ll just hurry up and die

But the whole fucking thing is coming down
Yeah the whole fucking thing is coming down

wages so low we can’t afford the rent
so we have to rely on the government
but the rich man doesn’t want to pay his taxes
so the social programs, they”re the first to get the axe
we don’t complain, we don’t bitch
the only thing we’ve got left to eat is the rich

But the whole fucking thing is coming down
Yeah the whole fucking thing is coming down

I personally think that the Rubicon has been crossed and there is no turning back. This isn’t a series of mistakes or “kicking the problem down the road”. This is plain, unadulterated, theft. They are going for broke (and breaking the country IS the goal). No one can make this many “mistakes”, so I cannot logically determine anything except purpose in their actions. They WANT the crash and they want to extract as much wealth from the system as it comes down, so they will be prepared for what comes next… some New world Order.

This was discussed in 1983 by Larry McDonald on Crossfire (the first 1:37 minutes is commentary from a Ron Paul supporter, and then McDonald is defending the John Birch Society for a bit, but at 4:44, it gets good). I don’t believe for a second this is happenstance (and I think you must agree that he was on to something simply from how obviously uncomfortable Tom Braden gets at the 6:00 mark):

No. This is planned. Plain and simple.

No matter what you think of the John Birch Society, Crossfire (and those two nuts that were on it), or Larry McDonald, he definetely called it like it is so many years later, didn’t he?Mostly, the MSM is giving this Wall Street protests as “left-wing” loons. And, as much as I think Lawrence O’Donnell is nothing more than an MSM clown I must give him credit for calling out the cops for their abuse and naming names. ‘Bout time.

And on the subject of cops, why is it that many of these football failures (couldn’t make the grade, so they juice up and use their brawn without brains to carry out the Elite’s dictates of oppression) think that they are or will be part of the 1% that controls the whole kit and caboodle? Don’t these people realize that these rich bastards don’t give a rat’s ass about them? Don’t they understand that they are on the wrong side of this?

Still don’t believe it is crumbling around us? Read what Maxine Croxall of the BBC asked Allesio Rastani and the comment she received:

Alessio Rastani:: …it’s gonna crash and it’s gonna fall pretty hard. Because markets are ruled right now by fear. Investors and the big money, the smart money …I’m talking about the big funds, the hedge funds, the institutions, they don’t buy this rescue plan. They basically know that the market is toast. They know that the stock market is finished, the Euro as far as they’re concerned they don’t really care, they’re moving their money away to safer assets like Treasury bonds, 30 year bonds, and the US dollar. So it’s not gonna work.

Maxine Croxall:: We keep hearing that whatever the politicians are suggesting — it’s all been rather wooly — isn’t right. Can you pin down exactly what would keep investors happy, make them feel more confident?

Alessio Rastani:: Ah, that’s a tough one. Personally, it doesn’t matter. I’m a trader, I don’t really care about that kind of stuff. If I see an opportunity to make money, I go with that. So for most traders we don’t really care that much how they’re going to fix the economy, how they’re going to fix the whole situation. Our job is to make money from it and personally I’ve been dreaming of this moment for three years. Personally, I have a confession to make, I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession. I dream of another moment like this. Why? Because people don’t seem to maybe remember, but the ’30′s depression, the Depression of the ’30′s wasn’t just about a market crash. There were some people who were prepared to make money from that crash and I think anybody can do that. It isn’t just for some people in the elite, anybody can actually make money, it’s an opportunity. When the market crashes, when the Euro and the big stock markets crash, if you know what to do, if you have the right plan to set up you can make a lot of money from this. For example, hedging strategies is one, then investing in bonds, Treasury bonds that sort of stuff.

Maxine Croxall:: If you could see the people around me, jaws have collectively dropped at what you’ve just said. I mean we appreciate your candor, but it doesn’t help the rest of us does it, or the rest of the Eurozone.

Alessio Rastani:: I will say this, listen. I would say this to everybody who’s watching this, this economic crisis is like a cancer. If you just wait and wait thinking this is going to go away, just like a cancer it’s gonna grow and it will be too late. What I would say to everybody is get prepared. This is not a time right now to wishful think that the Government is going to sort things out. The Governments don’t rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world. Goldman Sachs does not care about this rescue package neither does the big funds. So actually, I would actually tell people, I want to help people. People can make money from this, it isn’t just traders. What they need to do is learn about how to make money from a downward market. The first thing people should do is protect their assets, protect what they have because in less than 12 months, my prediction is that savings of millions of people is gonna vanish and this is just the beginning. So I would say, be prepared and act now. The biggest risk people can take right now is not acting.

Maxine Croxall:: Alessio Rastani thank you very much for talking with us.

You can watch the interview (if you haven’t already seen it) here. (h/t NaturalNews)

But rednecks in New York City? Maybe we could start out locally, since there are protests springing up all around the US (even Memphis and Nashville). I can barely afford the gas, but I’m game. How ’bout you?

TVA’s Land Grab… professionals

Posted by Lynda on September 13, 2011

I attended last evening TVA/Anderson County Commissioners meeting. I am a Claxton Home Owner. I just have a few comments. When the TVA VP stated in reply to a commissioners question regarding eminent domain, that ” No we will not use eminent domain”. I thought ” of course he can state that”. Why? because they KNOW that once they had the contract in hand to purchase the key property they had in their plans [which they do]– that the other bordering properties would become ” less desirerable, lower in the sale market, loose value on the housing market etc…and the owners would have to come to TVA and play the domino game with TVA and sell their lands. Hence, eminent domain isn’t needed. This very same market decrease, health risk etc comes into play with every land owner within a 3-5 mile radius. But their not going to feel responcible nor deal with the rest of those negatively effected. I am already effected value wise due to drug dealers the country just ignores, the national economical situation– and now this issue that IS COMING no matter what. When the rep stated the enormous number of trucks that will be using Edgmore Road and New Henderson Road— commissioners eyes twinkled with tax revenue expectations. The Commissioners can change nothing nor do anything ‘for the landowners’. All they can do is offer a forum to allow them to ‘voice’ their opinions. The rep all but stated TVA is doing-the-do as far as following process; which includes attending meeting like this. He did say that TVA was looking at two other sites, but could not publically state which two. But it was obvious that a few commissioners must not be considered ‘public’ because they knew. And they knew those sites were also in Anderson County. My favorite part was after the meeting when an un-named commissioner came downstairs to some of the residents an whispered ” ya’ll need to go outside of this county, get someone big to get involved, this is all wrong”. Now wasn’t that a confidence booster! lol. My home is all I have as an investment. And between the drug sellers, drug fencers, that national economic situation and now this ‘forced’ upon us issue– my tomorrows are not secure at all. Who is going to pay my health bills for breathing this mess, who addresses the countless within the sir-pollution flow? Aw, politics and power ego people— always bedfellows, always. SO TVA, don’t say anyone WANTS to sell to you. You play a nastier game than these good folks can bear. Your resources and game plan is far past their reach– and you and the state have had this plan for years. By the way…. Bull Run Steam Plant is the number three polluter in our country of all the plants– now we surely should pop up to number 1.

B’Man’s Hypocrite Watch: The American Declaration of Independence

Posted by BuelahMan on July 4, 2011

I have been camping and mostly out-of-pocket (except for a couple of days that I checked in and commented). The camp site I selected is right on the water at Pickwick Lake with excellent views of the two fireworks shows scheduled for this year’s celebration. Does it matter that both of these events are fully sponsored (and paid for?) by the ISR Group? Yes, even poor middle Tennessee is inundated with drones and their trainers. I once was approached about working for them and I mentioned that they train people to kill other people, but from a distance. I was told, “No. They save lives”.

Uh-Huh

Business must be very good for them to flip the bill on BOTH displays (one being held Saturday night and the other tonight).

I am past the feel-good, emotional BS about “God and Country”. I can no longer pretend that we are moral and that we are the world’s protectorates, when it is obvious that our intent is the exact opposite (no matter how brainwashed rednecks believe the rhetoric). I can’t feel any patriotism or honor for my country when it has become little more than what we actually rebelled and declared our independence from in the first place. What more does a person need to see than the latest Navy TV commercials that come right out and say that we are a “Global Force For Good“? Seriously, can anyone who knows anything about the Founding Fathers justify such an ideal that we should be a global anything? Much less the foolishness that we represent “good”. Makes me want to puke.

Seriously, if anyone actually takes the time to study what, exactly, the Declaration of Independence actually is, then they would know that our Founding Fathers were telling an empire’s leader we will not be a part of his kingdom and that a man’s freedom reigns. I cannot recommend the following Corbett Report audio link (and documentation also provided) enough:

Episode 193 – Philosophy of Freedom: The Declaration of Independence

(Nicely laid out for those who are trying to grasp what was meant and what has actually occurred instead. Especially the first 30 minutes or so)

It is a fact that we are brainwashed to believe that America is honorable and that the actions we take are for the world’s benefit. But any cursory view and real, honest evaluation shows this to be a sickening farce. We have become precisely what we rebelled from, yet, by and large, most Americans are too stupid or nationalistic to understand this very simple point.

So, how is it that we have become almost exactly what it was that we rebelled from in the first place? I suggest you read Steve Lendman’s latest piece, “Independence Day Hypocrisy” to get an understanding of how much bullshit you have been fed about the original rebellion and to learn the truth about just how far from prefect the founding of this nation actually was. In his article, he quotes from Howard Zinn’s 2009 piece, “Untold Truths About The American Revolution” to help us understand:

Was waging war then really worth it, taking perhaps 25,000 – 50,000 American lives, the “equivalent today to two and a half million (at the lower estimate) to get England off our backs.”

Canada ended British without war. So did Western Massachusetts farmers “driv(ing them out) without firing a single shot. They had assembled by the thousands and thousands around courthouses and colonial offices and they had just taken over (and) said goodbye to the British officials” nonviolently.

America’s revolution was much different, but who “gained what?” Most Americans were poor. “(T)he Founding Fathers were rather rich” with much different interests from ordinary people. “Do you think the Indians cared about independence” or Blacks held involuntarily as slaves?

“Slavery was there before (and) there after. Not only that, we wrote slavery into the Constitution. We legitimized it.”

“What about class divisions?” America was a racist class society then and remains one today to benefit elitist interests at the expense of working households, especially Black and Latino ones. “We try to pretend in this country that we’re all one happy family. We’re not.”

We all know this is true: that we are nowhere near one big happy family. And this is certainly by design. They never wanted ALL MEN to be free men or have the ability to vote and self-determination. The founders had an agenda, too, even tho there was “some” idealistic purpose beyond simply rebelling from a king.

Andrew at Failed Empire tells us the truth about the situation:

… Given all the atrocities that have been committed by Americans since the birth of our nation — the mass genocide of the Native Americans, the systematic suppression of African Americans well into the 20th century and beyond, the widespread exploitation of developing countries around the globe, the wars, the death, the torture — is there really any cause for celebrating the day that the U.S. came into being?

The question boils down to finding the balance between the benefits and the harm that we have brought into the world.  Have our positive accomplishments outweighed the vast destruction and oppression that we have reeked?  At this point in history, looking at our five concurrent wars, the Patriot Act, the very real likelihood of government complicity in the horrific events of 9/11, I would have to say no.  The United States, in spite of being founded on the noblest of principles of human rights and democratic values, has caused far more harm than good, and seems a blight on the face of the earth, a parasite leeching off the blood and wealth of the masses, hindering progress and development for all mankind.

The ideals for which we profess to stand, however, are worth celebrating, regardless of whether or not we actually uphold them.  If the great American Empire were to collapse tomorrow — which is not altogether unthinkable — I would breathe a deep sigh of relief, as I’m sure much of the world would do as well.  For the countless millions for whom life has been made intolerable by American military and economic oppression, the dismantling of our modern imperial empire would be a cause for jubilation, as the single greatest impediment to world peace and prosperity would have ceased to exist.

So, yeah, I will watch fireworks tonight, but I won’t be waving flags or patting service members on the back for “fighting for my freedoms”. I won’t be disparaging these same people, either. To each his own, but I will be telling anyone who will listen the truth about this day and the truth about what this country has become in face of what its intent was, even the bullshit intention.

People need to know the truth.

America’s Police State Expands: Truly, Criminals With Badges Reign

Posted by BuelahMan on May 20, 2011

If you are still unconvinced that we are living in a 1984-style Police State, I need to point out a few things. It is evident by what cops attempt to do (and get away with in many cases) that we live in a society where armed maniacs can conduct themselves in a manner befitting the worst criminals and thugs. It is happening all over and now I see this recent addition to the Police Crime Syndicate in Dickson County, Tennessee:

POLICE STATE: Tennessee Law Enforcement Stealing Money from innocent motorists

If that doesn’t make your blood boil, then you are either one of these corrupt cops trying to justify the criminality or a fool.

It doesn’t stop with simple shake-downs and thievery, either. It doesn’t stop at a local sheriff’s department (and I guarantee you that these are NOT the only criminals with badges doing the very same thing in this country). There is a total disregard for liberties by the very ones who are paid to protect our liberties. And don’t miss that their reasoning is, again (sigh) the War on Drugs. Worse, it goes all the way to the top of the Justice System. For now it is just fine for cops to enter your home without a warrant, if they hear your toilet flush.

None of this is reactive to real threats, but are purposefully orchestrated to create the perceived NEED by us gullible Sheople. As Jack D. Douglas shares at LewRockwell.com:

While they have grown mostly by the big steps “absolutely needed to save the people from grave threats,” they have also used many other deceitful processes and devices. ranging from the use of secret police acts of tyranny, such as massive intimidation of officials and bribery of all kinds. and keeping the ancient forms of freedom but secretly refilling them with tyrannical powers of the Party or Leader, to building the totalitarian powers very slowly in baby steps that come on cat’s paws, very quietly and gently in ways the people

rarely notice and when they do accept as “small inconveniences but nothing serious.”

Yes, we need to give these criminals every free opportunity to use lies and lame excuses to gain entry into your home, as to avoid “grave threats”, when, in fact, the worst threat to law-abiding citizens are the very actions of these criminals. In Kentucky (and soon to be seen in your home state), it is just hunky dory that police can simply claim that they knocked “loud”, claim that they hear what they perceive to be people hiding drugs and can bust in your home without a search warrant. And as a very sad commentary of how idiotic and tainted our current Supreme Court is, they have given an 8-1 thumbs up for such a practice.

The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments t...

Image via Wikipedia (Goodbye)

This entire case began when an “informer” claimed he bought drugs from a person on the street and then that person went into an apartment building. The cops went in, but didn’t know

which apartment it was, but allegedly smelled marijuana from one of the apartments and knocked hard at the door ASSUMING that this was the same person accused of dealing drugs and then commenced to break down the door. The problem was that this was a different person than the informant accused and so, they found another person smoking weed in his own home and arrested him.

In a sane decision from the Kentucky State Supreme Court, the conviction was over-turned because the cops had violated

his 4th Amendment right against “unreasonable searches and seizures.” The Kentucky Supremes said that it was the cops that created the emergency by beating on the door.

Enter the US Supreme Court to strip away such a right, when the state folks KNEW precisely what had been done was wrong. Ginsberg, being the sole dissenter in the case, said that this, “arms the police with a way routinely to dishonor the 4th Amendment’s warrant requirement in drug cases.” And since they did not have a genuine emergency, they should have never entered that apartment. 1 out of 8 of our US Supreme Court believes in the Fourth Amendment. I hope you feel safe.

What if I told you that it is even far worse than that? What if you knew that cops in New Mexico (and everywhere else in America) can enter into your home without a warrant, without you there, search thru your stuff and NEVER tell you that it happened? That’s right. They call it a “sneak and peek” warrant. Just read the above Target 7 News article and watch the video to get a taste of what may be happening to YOU, an innocent citizen believing that you actually have a Fourth Amendment Right.

The truth is that this right secured by our Fore Fathers is defunct and guess what? It was done in the disguise of terrorism and that rights-stripping law called the Patriot Act. The number of “sneak and peeks” have grown from 700 in 2007 to 2,000 in 2009 (the latest numbers are not yet available and even if they gave a number, how do we know if it is precise). But since you are a Terror-fearful citizen, I am sure you support such a thing because “surely” they would ONLY use this to get the terrorists, right?

WRONG!

The vast majority are drug-related and have NOTHING to do with terrorism. Peter Simonson, with ACLU New Mexico, said in the above Target 7 article and video:

While billed as an anti-terror tool, (a sneak-and-peek warrant) had no requirements on it that it precluded it from being used in standard criminal investigations

You see how that works, right? Pass a bill using lies and then use the rights-stripping purpose to do whatever they feel like they want to do. And the entire time, you just go along and think that they are doing their best job. And, yes, there are some good cops left, but their silence along these lines in protecting the rank ones speaks just as loudly as if they participated themselves. The few good ones can’t comprehend that at some point, their liberties will be affected.


And don’t think that some of these criminals won’t take advantage of such a ruling as we discussed in Indiana. One such Lead Criminal now says he will begin conducting random house-to-house searches. By God, if that isn’t Nazi Germany-like, I can’t think of an example that would be.And if the Hoosiers don’t recall or put that stupid ass out on his ear, you are fools.

Let me share with you some sage advice from B’Waves:

10 RULES WHEN DEALING WITH THE POLICE

1. Always be calm and cool.

2. You have the right to remain silent.

3. You have the right to refuse searches.

4. Don’t get tricked into waiving your rights.

5. Determine if you’re free to go.

6. Don’t do anything illegal.

7. Don’t run.

8. Never touch a cop.

9. Report misconduct: Be a good witness.

10. You don’t have to let them in.

At least “Bubba” has an idea. This stalwart progenitor of truth wants to form a “Ministry of Truth” to make sure that people like me aren’t able to inform you og what is really going on. I mean, can you seriously believe anything that lying liar has to say?

Heh: Yeah, right…

Richard Noggin Saturday: Send In The Clown Lamar Alexander

Posted by BuelahMan on February 19, 2011

Poor Lamar “Shitty Governor” Alexander gets another Richard Noggin Saturday post (he was recognized here a couple of years ago). His failures to his own constituents are well-known and his “Do Nothing” attitude is now a prominent feature of his entire Corporate fed career. When you watch the following video, where he is nominated by Chicken Hawk and Big Insurance funded, “Howdy Doody” to be the president, you might find some humor.

Me? I find truth masquerading in a clown’s performance.

Pay particular attention to the intro.

The campaign slogan is near perfect:

“No We Can’t! Do Nothing!”

Now, I understand that this is supposed to be funny and a gathering where they drink (The Alfalfa Club gets its name from the plant’s “supposed willingness to do anything for a drink“) and supposedly have a good time. But as Wikipedia tells us, in many instances, the Presidential nomination can have a tendency to actually occur in reality:

One of the evening’s activities includes the playful nomination of a presidential candidate by the Club’s leadership. The candidate is then required to make a speech. Several such candidates went on to hold the actual presidency after being nominated, including Richard Nixon in 1965 (elected in 1968), Ronald Reagan in 1974 (elected in 1980), and George W. Bush in 1998 (elected in 2000).[1] In 1969, they nominated Harold Stassen.[5] In 2004, the Club nominated the former president of the Motion Picture Association of America, Jack Valenti. Its 2000 nomination was Australian-born James Wolfensohn, constitutionally ineligible for election to the U.S. presidency.[1] In 2001, the presidential nomination went to John McCain.

To me, it is scary as hell that anyone even might entertain Alexander as POTUS, but something as idiotic as that would not surprise me. No more than having another idiot, Corporate-funded Southerner like Haley Barbour run as POTUS.

If you were able to view the entire thing (which is a tremendous burden, I know), you will find towards the 14:30 mark where Shitty Gov starts quoting his “friend” Alex Haley and uses his line,Find the good, then praise it. I have searched and searched for something to praise about Lame”R” and I can’t find a single issue worthy of praise. I would be very interested to have feedback suggesting what he has ever done that is worthy of praise.

So pass me one of those 5 Scotch and waters you sang about and let’s sing “Amazing Grace”.

You Dickhead.

BuelahMan is Justin Bieber’s Newest Fan

Posted by BuelahMan on February 18, 2011

My daughter is 6. She is “in love” with this kid and “wants to marry him”. She has MADE me sit thru each and every video of him (and Usher). For the life of me, I don’t get it, except to say that the kid is an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist and singer. He dances, too. Personally, if he did rock and roll I might be even more adoring of him.

But before I go on, I want to tell you about my day.

I have been to a foot “specialist” to confirm what I already knew: I have torn my Achilles tendon. This is no minor deal, either. This tendon is one of the worst to tear and repair and is apt to have many more problems with as I go forth. This specialist is a great guy. He was a student of my Mother-in-law and actually rode with her to school for quite some time. He also graduated high school with my wife. He understands my financial situation and is breaking a few of his business rules, but even with that, this is going to cost me alot of money that I don’t have.

Case in point, “The Boot”:

This sweet little contraption normally costs $500. Our friend (The Dr) let me have it for $300. They wanted me to use crutches with this boot and would sell me a pair for $80 (luckily I have access to a bent up pair that my wife’s Grandfather used 20 years ago… which will suffice). I can bend them back straight if it becomes too much of a problem, but they’re good for now.

They did Xrays of my foot and ankle ($150) and his charge for the visit was $100. My insurance comes with a $3500 deductible starting at the beginning of this year, so guess what… it’s all on me at my $290/week unemployment set to end the end of this month. He allowed me to pay $200, but the rest is due within 30 days. He has an order for me to go to the local hospital for an MRI on the lower leg, foot and ankle to confirm what we both know is the problem. I’m guessing somewhere around $1000 (maybe more).

Then, if true (I go back Tuesday for confirmation), he will send me to another Doctor for surgery in a town not too far from here (for he doesn’t work on anything above the ankle). It appears that most Achilles tendon tears are actually up around the calf, where the tendon is at its weakest point and not where it attaches to the heel. All of this means that I can figure to spend at least another $5,000 for the surgery and new Doctor. This is all money I don’t have and no way to get.

So, why do I now find myself a Bieber fan? Because he said this in a Rolling Stones article:

The Canadian-born (Justin) Bieber never plans on becoming an American citizen. “You guys are evil,” he jokes. “Canada’s the best country in the world.” He adds, “We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

I don’t really know if he was joking or not, but the system is evil as hell, in my opinion. If you have read here any length of time, you know how I feel about Big Meds. I was a huge advocate for Single Payer and wrote about it constantly when the debate (yeah, as IF they ever debated Single payer) was brewing.

I have tracked those corrupt Congresspeople that gain from fighting against Single Payer. And I have paid tribute to the very few who worked to get it debated (and then the ones who capitulated like the lap-dogs they are). I have called the lying liars out on several occasions, noting that Mr Soetero was once a very vocal advocate (but that only happened with certain audiences):

Poor lying bastard.

I also did a series called Where In The World Is Universal Healthcare, where one could do their own investigation into how other countries have implemented similar Single Payer systems and achieved far better results in health that we could ever achieve with a profit driven system. I highly advise you read thru those posts to see how you, as an American, are getting screwed.

Suffice it to say that I recognized that the American Sheople were being taken for a ride and most gobbled up the lies like a 750 pounder gobbles up donuts. We could have better, but the people here need to wake up and get rid of the two party criminal Corptocracy which feeds in large amounts from the health insurance industry.

Rock on, Biebes!

Tennessee Is Number 1 (And We Cuss, Too)

Posted by BuelahMan on January 25, 2011

I now reside in a state that can finally be proud of its ranking in America (which, itself,  might be ranked Number 1 among countries under the same subject). We have done it. We are number 1 in corruption. Visit the link and chase down your state’s premier claim to shame.

picture credit goes to Pleaded Jeans

The Daily Beast ran a story showing how they calculated to find the most corrupt state in the union. Using these parameters:

With that in mind, The Daily Beast examined a wide range of available data to rank the level of corruption in all 50 states. Each of the following data sets was weighted equally:•Public corruption, 1998—2008: Convictions of elected and other public officials investigated by federal agents over an 11-year period, from the Department of Justice.

Racketeering and Extortion, 1998—2008: Code for organized crime convictions, also investigated by federal agents over an 11-year period, from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Forgery and Counterfeiting, 1999—2008: Arrest numbers for producing or distributing fake money and goods over a 10-year period, from the FBI.

Fraud, 1999—2008: Arrests for false statements or documents produced for personal gain over a 10-year period, from the FBI.

Embezzlement, 1999—2008: Arrests for surreptitious theft of money over a 10-year period, from the FBI.

By using a decade’s worth of federal data, we were able to minimize changes in local law enforcement efficacy, though some flaws remain: local cases go undocumented, and the FBI data is self-reported by local law enforcement. When combined, however, the data provides a fairly deep look into which jurisdictions are uncovering the most corruption. We leveled the playing field by calculating the numbers on a per-100,000 people basis.

Their results are found here.

The numbers are impressive:

Public Corruption: 18
Racketeering & Extortion: 11
Fraud Rank: 7
Forgery & Counterfeiting: 5
Embezzlement: 9

I am not sure if this is related, but it also appears that where I live is a hotbed of cursing. See how your region lines up.

Nashville Cop Learns Dentistry On The Job

Posted by BuelahMan on May 20, 2010

Lt Tanya Mayhew decided that dentistry is her next gig (What? Rumors of layoffs?)

This finely smiling woman apparently saw an opportunity to fix her own god awful grin by taking the grill from an inmate forcibly:

Grill ripped from man’s teeth at Metro jail

Posted: // Mar 16, 2010 12:09 PM CDT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lawyers in Nashville have reached a settlement after a Davidson County sheriff’s lieutenant ripped the grill off a man’s teeth at the Metro jail.

Anthony McCoy was arrested in November and brought to the jail for not paying child support.

McCoy was told to remove the jewelry from his teeth but said he couldn’t as the grill was cemented on.

McCoy’s attorney, David Raybin, told News 2 Lt. Tanya Mayhew “put on some rubber gloves, reached into his mouth and yanked and pulled out the grill along with the enamel off of four of his teeth.”

Raybin said the grill was yanked out of his client’s mouth in front of 20 other inmates and half a dozen staff members.

“He then started spitting up blood, bits of teeth and tissue and they told him just to get back in line,” Raybin said of McCoy, adding his client suffered unnecessarily inside the Davidson County jail for 10 days before he received proper medical treatment.

“It was hell. The man was suffering,” Raybin told News 2 Tuesday. “Everyone has had problems with their teeth. Can you imagine being in jail with no help, no medical attention and having the enamel of four of your teeth destroyed?  It was an agony for him.  The medical people didn’t do zip for him.”

Raybin said Lt. Mayhew violated a number of sheriff’s department policies and hopes the nearly $100,000 settlement the city will pay McCoy prevents something similar from ever happening again.

Anthony McCoy had is teeth broken and other damage by force. This Superiority Complex that some cops have is getting worse as things get worse.

At least in Mr McCoy’s case, he will be compensated (altho I don’t think it is enough). The worst part is that Lt Mayhew has gotten what amounts to less than a slap on the wrist (as do all the brutalizing cops in this Police State).
