			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Norman Borlaug, arguably the greatest human being that ever lived, died last Saturday at the age of 95. Norman went around the world, first to Mexico, then India, then Africa, and developed new high yield, disease resistant, strains of wheat and rice and new growing methods. When he won the Nobel Piece Prize in 1970, it was said he saved the lives of over a <strong>billion </strong>people. You read that right, that was not a typo, he saved the lives of over a billion people in Latin America, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia. Penn and Teller called him the Greatest Human Being that ever lived, and I have to agree. No other person has even come close to saving that many people&#8217;s lives, and his new strains, research, methods and programs for continued research will save countless more in the coming generations. Thank you Norman, you are truly a hero. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope all of you have done something on this national day of service.</p>
<p>All levelly aside, the talks of mandatory or even incentivised  national service is one scary thought. Now there is nothing wrong with some sort of service, but to have the government basically give somebody money in the form of tax brakes in order to get people to do some national service is kind of scary. That isn&#8217;t volunteer work, that is regular work. Nobody is going to want to volunteer at their local  salvation army when the government can give out incentives that no other charity could possibly match. And of course the fact that the government will determine what is a worthwhile cause for this &#8220;service,&#8221; and you can be pretty sure that it will be the special interest groups that get all of these &#8220;volunteers&#8221; and any organization without friends in Washington will be left high and dry trying to compete with the government&#8217;s idea of service and its incentives that no private organization could hope to match. ]</p>
<p>Now get your students out there so they can become good little citizens in their government schools and their national &#8220;service.&#8221; It&#8217;s not like you will have a chance when they make service mandatory for all good little citizens, no matter what that silly little document called the constitution says about involuntary servitude.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you heard about <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-536-Civil-Liberties-Examiner~y2009m6d5-Shoeshine-mans-plight-shows-the-government-sees-no-right-to-make-a-living?cid=examiner-email">Larry Moore</a>? If you have not, he&#8217;s the &#8220;best dressed shoeshine guy in San Fransisco.&#8221; Larry was homeless drunk that decided he didn&#8217;t want to be a homeless drunk anymore, so he stopped drinking and started shining shoes. He grew pretty popular and almost had the $600 to be able to afford rent. </p>
<p>He was so close to turning his life around until the government gets wind of him. You see Larry was so successful in his shoe shine business and his turning his life around story that the local media picked up on him. Of course the bureaucrats can&#8217;t let a moving story like that continue, they must destroy all things good. Even though the local businesses had no problem with him shining shoes, the government couldn&#8217;t let it go. They demanded a $491 permit. A good chunk of his rent. Well, he went over and tried to pay, but being homeless he didn&#8217;t have a valid ID. He had pay money to have a copy of his birth certificate sent to him, and then he had to pay money to get an ID. But of course, the government just wanted to <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/06/04/MNJQ1807UK.DTL">educate</a> him. The &#8220;to be a slave&#8221; part must have been implied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That is basically what it seems that the United Kingdom likes to do. According to this <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/EAGELS-OF-USA1-/blog/2009/06/01/They-stole-my-little-girl-says-mother-judged-too-stupid-to-care-for-her-baby">article</a>, Social Workers in Nottingham have determined that a mother is too stupid to be able to care for her daughter. The daughter was born with some problems at birth and social workers determined that the mother would not be able to care for the daughter. Even after the daughter has improved to the point were she needs little to no day to day care, and after a psychiatrist&#8217;s report saying she her general intelligence seems to be in the normal range, the mother has been bared from even seeing her daughter. The daughter is now about to be handed over to adoptive parents.</p>
<p>In other words, the City of Nottingham has stolen the tiny helpless innocent daughter from this mother. A mother who has not harmed nor even shown that she is likely to harm the baby. It is beyond comprehension how we live in a world where these social workers are not already in jail and/or paying restitution to this mother for the pain and suffering they have caused her, instead of making money for the government by adopting the child out.  These people are scum. They are reprehensible and are an embarrassment to the entire human race. If there are advanced civilizations out there watching us, the reason they have probably have not made contact with us is because they see people like this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the Wall Street Journal Article,  <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203706604574374463280098676.html">Obama&#8217;s Health Rationer-in-Chief</a>, Dr. Emanuel has some pretty sick ideas. He apparently has written extensively on who should get health care and who should not get health care. As in the case of all socialized programs, other people&#8217;s money eventually runs out, and they have to start rationing health care. So I suppose that the good Doctor is the perfect person to have the job of Health Care Advisor, since he will be an expert on who health care should be focused on, and who should be denied health care for the &#8220;Good of the People.&#8221; It is quite scary stuff, and it not much different then Hitler&#8217;s Eugenics program, where he decided who get&#8217;s to reproduce. In fact, in the end that will eventually be the result of any policies Emanuel gets his hands on.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just look at a few of his policies. I don&#8217;t think I really have to say much about them.  Dr. Emanual, the brother of Obama&#8217;s Chief of Staff, and my former Congressman Rahm Emanuel, has said some pretty disturbing things to say.x</p>
<p>First in a June 2008 issue of JAMA, he blames the Hipocratic Oath for the &#8220;overuse&#8221; of medical care.</p>
<p>&#8220;Medical school education and post graduate education emphasize thoroughness,&#8221; he writes. &#8220;This culture is further reinforced by a unique understanding of professional obligations, specifically the Hippocratic Oath&#8217;s admonition to &#8216;use my power to help the sick to the best of my ability and judgment&#8217; as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of cost or effect on others.&#8221;</p>
<p>He says that there will be hard choices to make.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the next decade every country will face very hard choices about how to allocate scarce medical resources. There is no consensus about what substantive principles should be used to establish priorities for allocations,&#8221; he wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine, Sept. 19, 2002. Yet Dr. Emanuel writes at length about who should set the rules, who should get care, and who should be at the back of the line.</p>
<p>He suggests that when making these decisions, the focus must be on who will be best for the &#8220;good of the people.&#8221;  Of course, what is best for the &#8220;good of the people,&#8221; will be determined by the government, specifically him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Substantively, it suggests services that promote the continuation of the polity—those that ensure healthy future generations, ensure development of practical reasoning skills, and ensure full and active participation by citizens in public deliberations—are to be socially guaranteed as basic. Covering services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic, and should not be guaranteed. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.&#8221; (Hastings Center Report, November-December, 1996)</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see similar writings as the above in a Nazi Eugenics Manuel.</p>
<p>And of course, age should also be taken into account.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, other things are rarely equal—whether to save one 20-year-old, who might live another 60 years, if saved, or three 70-year-olds, who could only live for another 10 years each—is unclear.&#8221; In fact, Dr. Emanuel makes a clear choice: &#8220;When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get changes that are attenuated.</p>
<p>He even illustrated his point using the following Reaper Curve in a Lancet article.</p>
<p><img title="Reaper Curve" src="http://www.governmentsfolly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Reaper-Curve-300x131.jpg" alt="Reaper Curve" width="300" height="131" /></p>
<p>All in all, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is a sick sick person and Obama is sick person for relying on his advice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Why do I not support </span>Bureaucrash<span> Anymore? As I sit here in my favorite t-shirt, the Bureaucrash &#8220;<a href="http://www.bureaucrashcontraband.com/encatee.html">Enjoy Capitalism</a>&#8221; t-shirt, I will tell you why I do not support Bureaucrash anymore.  If you have been paying attention, and judging by the number of readers I get, you haven&#8217;t, I have recently replaced the </span>Bureaucrash<span> link with a <a href="http://www.fr33agents.com/">Fr33Agents.com</a> link. There is a good reason for that. First, let&#8217;s have a little background on what </span>Bureaucrash<span> is. </span>Bureaucrash<span> was started by the now defunct Henry Hazlitt Foundation as an on-the-ground, hip, liberty activist organization. I first learned about this organization way back when it was part of the foundation and it&#8217;s whole Free-Market.com/.net  group of websites and organizations. It was basically a place to come to find other people in your area to do new and innovative and cool activism and protesting and &#8220;crashing.&#8221; I suppose the term crashing came from the idea that groups wouldn&#8217;t have big large protests and marches and things, but would go in places that that other groups had organized like meetings, protests, groups and then do their type of thing. It also had great t-shirts, fliers, electronic pictures. I remember one of the <span>early</span> ideas for crashing was to go to a computer lab  at your school and change the background on some or all of the computers to one of the <span>Bueracrash</span> pictures. After the Foundation went under, <span>Bueracrash</span> survived and became part of the International Society for Individual Liberty.  It kind of started dying, until Jason Talley and after him Peter Eyre took over as Crasher-In-Chef and really revamped the organization with the new ownership of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. </span></p>
<p>All was going well until Peter Eyre decided that he was going to take on a different project called the <a href="http://motorhomediaries.com/">Motor Home Diaries</a><span>, where he and a few other people go around the country looking for freedom. Now I had stopped paying attention to <span>Buereaucrash</span> (and liberty activism in general) for awhile until I heard on </span><a href="http://freetalklive.com/">Free Talk Live</a><span>, Ian talking about how <span>Bureaucrash</span> has really lost it&#8217;s way and how he along with many others had left <span>Bureaucrash</span> Social (the networking portion of <span>Bureaucrash</span>) and joined a group called <a href="http://www.fr33agents.com/">Fr33 Agents</a> started by former members of <span>Bureaucrash</span> including former Crasher-In-Chief Jason Talley. </span></p>
<p><span>Now I needed to figure out what had happened to what was quit honestly my favorite liberty organization.  I searched the <span>internet and found disturbing information</span> and by accident listened to an archive of Free Talk Live that told me what I needed to know. Apparently the Competitive Enterprise Institute had hired one Lee <span>Doren</span>, a conservative blogger and <span>Youtube</span> News Guy. A self-described libertarian-conservative or as he sometimes puts it part of the &#8220;traditional wing&#8221; of the liberty movement. It did not look good. What he said on Free Talk Live in that archive, and what can be found on the <span>internet</span> of what he supports is not very libertarian at all. </span></p>
<p>As Norman from <a href="http://libertarianlonghorns.com/2009/06/08/the-fall-of-bureaucrash/">Libertarian Longhorns</a> writes about Lee:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span> * He supports the <span>FairTax</span> Plan and the <span>FlatTax</span> plan. (Any reader of LCC should know that the <span>FlatTax</span> is not flat and the <span>FairTax</span> is not fair.)</span><br />
* He supports &#8220;school choice&#8221; programs. (The only school choice a true libertarian can support is disassembling the public school system.)<br />
* He supports the Iraq War and other wars of aggression.<br />
* He openly admits that he voted for Mitt Romney in the last presidential primary rather than consider the principled Ron Paul.<br />
* He does not consistently hold to the Non-Aggression principle, as admitted on Free Talk Live.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The first four are horrible, but of course all you need to know is that last one, because if you don&#8217;t hold to the Non-Agression principle you are simply not a Libertarian.  And of course, the first four would be a violation of that principle anyway.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To put it simply, Lee Doren along with the Competitive Enterprise Institute has killed Bureaucrash, turning it the way of the Libertarian Party. Where they sacrifice principle in order to try and reach a larger audience. Too many have left the organization to form other organizations such as <a href="http://www.fr33agents.com/">Fr33Agents.com</a> or <a href="http://abcaction.wordpress.com/">ABC Action (After Bureaucrash)</a> that even if a new Crash-In-Chief was hired right away, it would never be the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many stories out there where there was some domestic problems, or maybe there was a fight, or maybe their kids are acting out and somebody in the house calls the cops so they can come over and mediate. Then the cops come over and many times somebody ends up going to jail or at least in <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-libertyville-mom-20-aug20,0,434852.story">this</a> case, somebody ends up dead. </p>
<p>According to the Chicago Tribune, a Libertyville Illinois women called the cops because her adult child was angry and depressed, and hitting the wall. It seemed that he had a gun and was contemplating killing himself. The cops came over, went upstairs to where the guy was and the guy ended up shot the back by the cops. For hours the cops wouldn&#8217;t tell this poor women what happened, except that they were calling an ambulance. They took her to the police station, and would not tell her that they had killed her son. The cops say he was pointing a gun at two cops that were down the stairs, but the mother says there was there was nobody on the stairs and that all four cops were on the second floor. </p>
<p>This really just goes to show you, that unless you really really need to, do not call the cops. It usually just ends up bad.</p>

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Americans had to work from January 1 until August 12 this year just to cover the cost of government.  That is 26 days more than they had to work last year to cover the cost of government.</p>
<p>“Cost of Government Day” this year fell on Wednesday, August 12, according to Americans for Tax Reform, the conservative group that calculates when the day occurs.  Cost of Government Day is the day in the year when the American people have earned enough income to pay the total cost of the spending and regulatory burden imposed by government at the federal, state, and local level.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So it seems that the bigoted blogger and internet radio host <span>Hal Turner </span>was actually <span>agent provocateur</span> working for the FBI. An agent provocateur basically is an agent working for the government that eggs people on in a way to &#8220;cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest,&#8221; He was arrested recently for <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9A5GCC80&#038;show_article=1">urging people to kill judges in Illinois and politicians in Connecticut</a>. There have long been reports that the government plants these agents basically in order to remind people that they are still needed. This is the first time that I have heard of in which the government has admitted that the person actually worked for them. Of course, they claim that when he urged people to kill the politicians and judges, that he wasn&#8217;t on the FBI&#8217;s payroll, but for his career as hate monger, he was most definitely was spying on right-winged extremist for the government by the FBI. He certainly wasn&#8217;t doing anything different when he stopped working for the FBI.</p>
