Yeah.

And I recall a few years back, soon after PATRIOT ACT was born, that some academics at MIT went live with a website (I forget the name of it)

that revealed all sorts of public info about USG employees. Where they went to school, home addresses, etc.

And it revealed the network of connections between and among the politicians and their donors.

Alas, it was only a short while and then the corrupt USG, which at that time was paying MIT hundreds of millions per year

in “research grants”, strong armed MIT and poof, just like that, the MIT subsidiary website became an MIT intra-net overnite.

So far as I am aware the website is still live but darn near inaccessible to non-MIT folks. 🙁

I am not a fan of the Iranian Government, but man, I love the fact that millions of Iranians are out in force and are

Does Tim know that one can hide and be invisible to night vision goggles by wearing special clothing?

I think Tim should read more great literature

Tim may also want to obtain and review a “Story Wheel”.

Next, Tim should (meaning must) read Polti's 1936 treatise on the 36 universal “plots” used in world literature.

Well, I can see both sides of the issue — I think.

That said, I hope I am wrong but I have this strange feeling that Obama is merely a temporary puppet and that before long, we will be saying, “Hello President Biden.” And this is especially true if, as reported, Obama tries “take down” the Federal Reserve Board, al-la President Kennedy.

Don't look for Obama to be visiting the conservative, deep South anytime soon, except for geriatric Florida.

Now, let me be clear, I hope no harm comes to Obama, because first and foremost he is a Father and husband.

Protecting the President is a thankless job that is made more difficult because there are so many mentally unstable people who have episodic delusions. And if one was really determined, I imagine that one could readily conceive of ways to hurt others. Just look at the Iraqi journalist who had enough time to throw 2 shoes at President Bush. And recall how slow the Secret Service reacted to that event. Point is, things happen real fast in life. Danger can come at almost any time.

That said, I am hardly surprised that the Lying Liberal that is Obama would disarm the US military. It is a Democratic party tradition.

We live in an era where US soldiers have attacked and killed other US soldiers. Not nice, but sadly, very true nonetheless.

And let us not forget that Anwar Sadat was assassinated while watching a military parade in Egypt, of the soldiers who were supposed to be loyal to him.

Point is, stuff happens. Better safe than sorry.

First, let's face it, in America, blacks have not exactly been treated very kindly by white folks 'lo these past 230+ years. And in the deep South, it is safe to say that many whites still hate the black race.

Second, millions of of Americans, both in and outside the USA military have doubts whether Obama was born in USA and is even eligible to become President. So there is real doubt about whether Obama is lawfully President.

So all this adds up to a potentially bad situation for the pretend President and his security team.

On the other hand, the order to remove all umbrellas and swords from the cadets is a clear sign that Obama does NOT trust the cadets. And from an organizational standpoint, this is not good and sends a very bad signal to the military, especially the junior officers and those who love and respect Navy traditions.

A former US Marine told me a few months ago that when Obama was on vacation before he was inaugurated he went to a Marine base in Hawaii to work out and the US Marines did not greet Obama warmly as he expected. Of course this was mostly ignored by the MSM but you may be able to locate it on youtube.

As the pseudo CinC, Obama has the right to order the military to dress however he pleases. And respect for the chain of command means that one obeys their superiors. So in that respect, this order is no different, really, than any other order that Obama may issue to his underlings. You may not agree with the order but one has a duty to implement it and to obey it.

John, great post. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Keep up the good work.

There are a whole host of US Supreme Court cases in which the USG used the interstate transportation of goods as an excuse to regulate same under the Commerce Clause if the Constitution.

However, in a rebuke that angered the anti-USA / anti-gun rights folks, in U.S. v. Lopez, as case from 1994/1995 in which Janet “I ain't been laid yet” Reno butted into a purely state issue and she insisted that when a 15 yr old kid named Lopez was caught with a handgun within 500 feet of a grade school, that such an act triggered a violation of a federal law making it a crime to carry a gun within 500 feet of a school.

Counsel for the federal government argued at bar that the USG had jurisdiction because the gun was made in one or more states and then transported to Texas, where it was eventually purchased. So the feds took over what was then a purely state criminal trial, and instead tried to turn it into a federal criminal case, with their resultant harsher sentences.

Instead of the Texas Government protecting one of its Citizens, the 15yr old Lopez, the Texas government stepped aside and allowed the US Fed Govt to take over the case. And this was after the Texas Supreme Court shirked their responsibility. So the case ended up at the US Supreme Court.

And guess what happened?

The US Supreme Court got some cajones and completely destroyed the USG legal position.

The Lopez case is, so far as I am aware, the single best US Supreme Court dealing with the limits of federal jurisdiction inside the 50 Union states, to be decided by the Court in the past 25 years.

I encourage everyone in the FG Forum to read the majority opinion in Lopez and you will clearly understand the legal reasons why the USG does NOT possess a police power inside the 50 states, but for the enumerated powers in the Constitution.

Shutting down the internet, if it ever came to that, is a clear sign that, well, it would not be good.

e-commerce is so huge right now, probably in the trillions of $$$$ in terms of GDP, that if “Obama the communist” did shut down the internet, it would destroy many businesses and many folks would lose their jobs.

Not to mention that it would throw a monkey wrench into distance learning programs, etc.

Wow!! Thank you for sharing this story.

I would have loved to seen a real Stradivarius up close and personal. I used to have a picture of one as my Wallpaper and screen saver on my cell phone.

I too may have been in the herd that day during Bell's performance, I can not really say for sure. I guess it would have depended on what I was doing, how late I was, etc. But whenever I take public transportation, I always allow myself extra time to “smell the roses” — this is a result of almost getting walloped by a high speed train some years ago. Every day God gives me on this Earth is a gift.

I take nothing for granted.

Nothing.

Well, since I don't really have a “life” and I take public transportation also, and yes, I have ridden the D.C. metro more times than I can count, and I love classical muzak since way back when I was in Kollege, and I especially enjoy listening to Bach, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Verdi, and Schubert, to name only some of my all time favorites, I would have no doubt been the one “loser” who would have been enthralled to hear a great violinist.

Unlike some, I don't have hundreds and hundreds of CDs. I don't know how many CDs I own I never actually took the time to count them all, but I suspect it is only around 80 to 100, and about 75-80% of them are classical CDs.

As an aside, for many years, when I sleep alone, which lately has been more often than not (grrrrr 😮 ), I fall asleep while listening to classical music. It soothes my soul in a way that no other music does. I have long been convinced that by listening to classical music it has actually helped me become a better writer and also enabled me to understand complex tax law. Although, I still think my English grammar sucks. LOL

Although, to be candid, I do not know what Joshua Bell looks like but that would not have mattered, want to believe that I would have listened to him throughout the duration of his Metro concert and would have given him at least a 5 spot.

I have been riding the Metro in D.C. and elsewhere in other cities, off and on for decades and I almost always will stop and listen if the person playing is half way decent. I learned along time ago when I was employed part time for janitorial firm during my freshman year in kollege, that there is no such thing as a menial job, only menial attitudes.

Now, I don't always give the Metro musicians money but I always thank them.

I have noticed that in the true tradition of Irving Goffman, the great social scientist, that folks in public spaces are invariably wearing “masks”.

Thanks for sharing the story.

Kudos John, for a superb lead post.

Simply superb.

Thanks for sharing this important nonfactual, political speech with the FG Forum.

All I can add, John, is that the 14th Article to the U.S.A. Constitution was not actually lawfully ratified. And I realize that you likely are already aware of this fact but I still think it is worth mentioning so our readers understand how corrupt their servant U.S. Government really is.

And the Dyett v. Turner case from the Utah Supreme Court, as well as admissions made in the Congressional Record back in 1968 or 1969 confirm this fact. The Congressional Record pages, in a pdf file, are available on Famguardian. Or see Congressional Record, June 13, 1967, pp. 15641-15646)

See http://famguardian.org/Subjects/LawAndGovt…Dyett/dyett.htm

You are welcome, neo.

I just want say that I too share the sentiment expressed by Admin, in which some folks (no, not neo) but mostly newbies, many of whom I suspect are posers, pop in here at the FG or SEDM Forums, and pose a question and just expect us to do all the work for them.

And then as has happened many times in the past, the newbie with the question disappears and is never heard from again and never contributes anything to the FG Forum and never shares any knowledge or information with us. And this is simply not fair to the rest of us.

If folks are too intellectually lazy that they can not even take the time to read the seminal Path to Freedom treatise, then this tells me that they only have a cursory interest in freedom and liberty. And such folks do not really want to live as a Sovereign. They are only looking for quick answers to try and save themselves some money.

I do not speak for the FG Ministry, but from my perspective, the FG is not about saving money or making money.

We are honorable and law abiding group and are about sharing the educational tools and materials and non-factual religious speech to help people make better, more informed decisions about a whole host of subjects, personal taxation being merely one such subject.

That said, I am not “Bing the Answer man” although I do get a good chuckle every time when one of you guys refers to me as “The Professor”. LOL 😆

Understand though that it takes time to type out answers to people's questions, and newbies that show zero interest in learning things for themselves, will find that the FG Regulars, and I consider my cyber cohort neo to be a FG Regular, will be less likely to go out of their way to give them answers.

And this policy is in place for any number of reasons, not the least of which it acts as a high barrier to prevent IRS undercover spies from popping in here and trying to covertly monopolize our time and mental capacity, by posing insincere questions simply in an effort to divert our collective attention from our regular, on going research. And I endorse this FG Forum Policy & practice 110%!!

So, the newbies who may be put off and offended by my abruptness to their questions, when said newbies have contributed nothing to the Forums, and the newbies have not taken the time to do even basic research, well, all I can say is “HAVE A NICE DAY!”

neo, I was not aware of Limbach either.

Thanks so much for the head's up.

I have not yet read Limbach but will do so in the next week or so.

Anyway, to more directly reply to what I think neo is asking, if it is true that the U.S. Supreme in Hooven 1984 case did not address the issue of 3 possible meanings of the term “United States”, it is still permissible to cite the 1945 Hooven case, and quote the 3 different definitions of the term “United States”, but one should make disclosure and state “subsequently over turned on different grounds”.

This alerts the reader that even though the case was overturned, that some legal principles in the original Hooven 1945 case are still controlling and valid.

Neo, Adkins v. Children's Hospital of the District of Columbia laid down some timeless principles, one of which was that American citizens have a constitutional right and an unalienable right to have a job and sell their labor.

Now those same bedrock legal principles are enshrined in at least 7 or 8 other U.S. Supreme Court cases. However, Adkins, was also later overturned on other grounds. But just because it was over turned does not mean that certain aspects of the original U.S. Supreme Court case can not be relied upon to prove a fact or to buttress one's argument.

I hope the above is helpful and if I am wrong, I trust someone will set me straight.

Thanks again, neo. Great job!!!
