“We Need a Drug Dog So We Can Seize More Property and Raise More Money”

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“At the Henry Mayor and Board of Alderman meeting on Tuesday, board members decided to allow police chief David Andrews to institute a K9 program for the Henry Police Department. Andrews told board members that the city is missing out on possible revenues that a K9 would bring. If a drug dog alerts on a vehicle, its gives officers probable cause to search a vehicle for drugs or illegal proceeds from drugs. More drug arrests and drug, cash, and vehicle seizures lead to more revenues coming in for the police department and city. Andrews said the military has a drug dog program and he could get a dog for the city at no upfront cost.”

11 GOP convention speakers who actually ‘didn’t build that’

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“Despite the fact that the Republican National Convention is held in a stadium that was financed with $86 million in public funds, the theme this year is ‘We built this!’ And the theme has been taken to heart by numerous candidates and delegates invited to speak at the convention. Looking at the prepared remarks for Tuesday alone, a number of speakers skipped over ways that their accomplishments had been supported by the government.”

Where did $50 million in RNC grants go? A lot of places

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“The city has spent all but $2.7 million of the $50 million federal grant it received for Republican National Convention security. Grant money for the Aug. 27-30 convention is paying for extra police, technology, vehicles, uniforms and gear. Personnel costs alone are more than $26.1 million, according to the city. That money will help pay for about 3,500 law enforcement officers brought in from across the state to police the city during the convention.”

Shelter in the Storm

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“An LA Times article on New Orleans and the approach of the Isaac storm assures us the Gulf Coast that FEMA is ‘deploying’ for action. Yet API-Marketplace reported yesterday that Walmart and Home Depot have stocked up to the max. Before us, two models. The statist, lumbering FEMA, a bureaucracy well proven to be fully capable of turning hardship into disaster—but it is all OK as long as folks do what they are told. And the market.”

Government Entrepreneurship Training?

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“After Kim Osterhoudt lost her human resources job at a financial services firm in a 2009 downsizing, she tried to eke out a living selling homemade jam near her home in Belle Mead, N.J. To improve her odds of success, she enrolled last year in Entrepreneur University, a free, 60-hour, local entrepreneurship training program launched by the New Jersey Department of Labor in partnership with the nonprofit Intersect Fund. Osterhoudt says her business is on track to hit $60,000 in revenue this year—double that of 2011—but she has yet to turn a profit and has been living off the proceeds of a home she sold shortly after she lost her job.”

Ron Paul and the Future – Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“With its kept media on the wane, it is going to be more and more difficult for the state to make its claims stick, to persuade people to keep accepting its lies and propaganda. You’ve heard it said that the pen is mightier than the sword. Think of the sword as the state. Think of the pen as all of you, each in your own way, spreading the ideas of liberty. Remember that insight of Etienne de la Boetie: all government rests on public consent, and as soon as the public withdraws that consent, any regime is doomed. This is why they fear Ron, it’s why they fear you, and it’s why, despite the horrors we read about every day, we may dare to look to the future with hope.”

Ron Paul: Meaningless Words in Politics

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“If we intend to use the word freedom in an honest way, we should have the simple integrity to give it real meaning: Freedom is living without government coercion. So when a politician talks about freedom or liberty − regardless of the issue being discussed − ask yourself whether he is advocating more government force or less. ‘Conservatism,’ meanwhile, once meant respect for tradition and distrust of active government. But in recent decades conservatism has been redefined as support for big-government grandiosity via military adventurism,corporatism and inflationary monetary policy.”

‘Inside the law enforcement bubble’

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“The protesters are on the outside, way outside, pelted by rain, then blasted by sun, then windblown, and they cannot get within shouting distance of the convention proper, or even close to what is formally known as The Perimeter. The Perimeter remains in the distance. They’re stopped at pre-Perimeter security fences and Jersey barriers. And they’re surrounded. Even though they’re on the outside, they spend much of their time inside the law-enforcement bubble. Tim Rivers, 57, a retired engineer in Tampa, shouted through a fence at a compatriot: ‘We are in a cage! Your First Amendment rights are gone!'”

William N. Grigg: Reich Here, Reich Now

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“If there’s a Blackhawk in your airspace, don’t be alarmed now; it’s just ‘urban warfare’ training. That was the message issued to residents of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota by the local affiliate of the Homeland Security State — and its allies in the government-aligned media — as the U.S. Special Operations Command prepared to unleash what one police source called ‘a pack of military helicopters’ over the Twin Cities in support of ‘routine urban environment training.'”
