VIDEO: Meet Dick Tracy

deleted

Remember to bring it up at your next Quaker meeting.

Holy,

I suppose that people will do the things that were most effective in communicating the ideas of liberty to them. For me, making light of them really got me to change the way I viewed the folks in power, so that's why I look at it as effective (and I've used it effectively to convince people I know as well). I suppose that's why approaching it from lots of different directions works best. Some approaches work well for some, and other approaches work best for others. There are plenty of posts here on Free Keene that use logical argument. This is a chance to laugh a little at this scary people.

A joke isn't an argument. It's a joke. Be careful Holy, you might laugh!

steve,

I ,unlike you it seems,don't have video of the life of sam and his gf.

on the other hand i DID see the video of the interaction with James

so that's what i talk about

I guess you where a "fly on the wall" well sam and his gf ….whatever.

I would say to you to focus on the interaction with james

seeing as we have video of that

but again

i guess you were a fly on the wall well sam and his gf had arguments

bottom line

Don't talk about what you know NOTHING ABOUT

and i don't want to hear your "he said she said "

In court that's called "Hearsay" and and its irrelevant and immaterial

I play red. Nasty old red with Fork and Fireblast n such. One of these days I'll sit across a table from you, Ian

How to Make Government Look More Illegitimate

What you can do in your everyday life to knock down these pillars of sand Big Brother erects in his (dis)honor.

by Chaz Munro

We get better treatment by those who actually care about our satisfaction, from the people that work at bagging our groceries than we do from our grossly mis-named "public servants". Most folks complain under their breath if at all, but now the mess government has accrued has become way too big to sweep under the rug. Big Brother has irked everyone and in a big way. It has become glaringly illegitimate to everyone.

Uncle Sham was not content to just devalue all our money and order us to smile and be "good citizens" while he smacked us around. He was not satisfied snooping in on our phones and emails, snatching our property, and ordering us around.

No good people, he had to take it up a notch and pile numerous insults onto the ever growing heap of injuries done to you and me. I feel the tipping point will be that piece of plastic in your wallet when you go to your bank's ATM and it tells you "sorry pal, your worthless money got swiped from you". Wait in line at IndyMac or WaMu if you like, but you're going to real disappointed when the teller informs you that not only was your account cleaned out by two-bit charlatans with ill-intent, but the real kick in the head is that you're going to be billed for this fiasco.

Mr. and Mrs. America (and presumably all the ships at sea) are finally in a spot where, if Libertarians care to educate them of the facts, they can have just as much open and useful criticism for government meddling in their lives, as average Libertarians have done so all these years.

From there the finger can finally be pointed in the direction that our lapdog media has refused to have the backbone to tell us: at Government itself. We may readily let people know in a way that can be easily digested by average Americans, that what we've been telling them all along is exactly on target: Government is illegitimate.

Just how do you go about making government illegitimate? When you break it down, it really just means letting ordinary people see what is mostly obvious to them:

I like a good joke, it helps break the tension and is great for allowing folks to feel easy in the presence of bad news. Russians "toppled" plenty of statues of Lenin, Marx, Stalin and other fatheads and despots with a handy joke. They exposed their dictators and wannabe tyrants with humor and the ridicule they deserved.

Leviathan bites us all deeper than many of us realize because it has abandoned its only legitimate task of defending our rights and properties and has instead gone out of it's way to do the opposite of it's well defined mission and steal those same rights and our property.

I find that even in my everyday activities at the store when counting out (what passes for) money at the checkout, I can plant a seed in the minds of the clerks. "I went to a public school so I don't know to count, but I think that I gave you the right amount".

Sure, people will be instructed to blame capitalism for America's woes, but people have been had too often in way too short of a time. I have a keen sense that people will connect the dots and make up their own minds. Traditional news outlets have been losing their grip on people's minds for some time now.

If the president did anything to help the situation (by accident of course) he showed us the filthy cold underbelly of big government. He rubbed our noses in it and told us that if we were good Americans who did no wrongdoings we need not fear the onerous Patriot Act and it's vile mission to scoop up citizens to feed the savage meat grinder of the U.S. Penal System.

There are other things we can do to thumb our nose at government. Form a small group of people who share your concern. You really need at least 4 or 5 members just to keep from being perceived as a bunch of "loners". Contact your local media and call a press conference (free publicity for your group).

Have a certificate, and add a cheap frame printed awarding best public servant (one who does most to work him/herself out of a job). And of course don't forget the worst ones awarded titles of "rudest", "most dishonest", "most clueless", etc.

While it's still legal to do so, educate your friends, casual acquaintances and the like. Try strangers on the street if you're feeling especially friendly and show people by example how to make public employees look like total schmucks at every possible opportunity.

This is our land, we belong here and keep their bellies full, not to mention paying their union dues and allowing their utilities to continue flowing without interruption. They should be eternally grateful to us for that, not mistreat us.

We're keeping these pampered layabouts employed when if they were actually paid for their "real value" they were to us, the whole gang of jack-booted thugs would be rummaging through dumpsters for scraps thrown out by the genuinely productive populace.

Since the taxes used to pay them are extorted from us under implied threat of force, a picture of an armed moocher shouldn't be too difficult to paint in the minds of the everyday throng to fill in the blanks of a petty despot or his vile underlings.

Don't waste too much of your time trying to convince those incapable of learning the truth, instead move on to the next. Street arguments are for suckers. Some people are just too averse to looking at what is ugly or seemingly inconsequential to them. When some wild eyed bureaucrat goes ape on him or her they'll remember your chat.

Look at it in terms of letting as many people in on what is actually happening to them. Have fun with it and share with the masses that ridicule and bad public relations are exactly what these government employees both fear and deserve.

When government stays out of yours and others lives, you are freer, to the degree of just how much you are able to keep them at bay. Good luck to you on your mission, my friends.

Steve mindlessly blurted forth the following absurdly cruel nonsense, on Sun, 29th Aug 2010 7:09 am

No Ian, no ‘magic’ games for me. I live in the real world. And I am not making fun of your curfew. I am making fun of you. You are the one claiming the state is not legitimate. Yet you give them legitimacy by agreeing to their demands. And I’ll bet making a joke about your name did get a few laughs, just not by your followers who can’t see how much of a hypocrite you are. Hey, look! It’s after 6! You are ‘freeman’ for another 12 hours. Too bad it’s daylight. People might see you for who you really are.

—

No Steve, you are playing games with Ian. Just because *you say so* does not make it anything close to what is truth. Nobody made you the final arbiter of what is and isn't so. What you are doing is trying to place Ian in a cage, yet you lack the guts to actually do so yourself. You even believe you can goad or trick him into walking into that prison cell.

That is because you have deluded yourself into believing that you can entrap people who are much smarter than you are. How's that working out for you, so far Steve?

Nope, what you want is to enjoy the violence the state employs against human beings that live in your midst while you sit back and cackle to yourself in rapt glee at the harm done to them. All the while you will in the front of your mind, tell yourself that you are a good person. Tattoo this on the inside of your eyelids, Steve:

Ian goes up against people who do not follow their own rules, they constantly change these same rules to always favor themselves and their friends, and hamper those who do not play along. He wants to earn a living doing a radio show, not sit in a dank dungeon eating lousy food while you laugh at him for falling for your bullying tactics.

You don't have to agree with what he does or believes in as you are obviously nowhere near as smart as you only dream yourself to be. You are still free to watch the cruelty of your UFC wrestling on television, cheering on the pretend violence against other people. You can do this because you will eventually be able to benefit from the future freedoms liberty activists will gain for you, regardless of whether they have your blessings now or gratitude once they are achieved.

Yes, Steve it is all too obvious where you stand on this, yet I will counter your vile hatred for your fellow beings with absolute pity for you for being the way you are.

Keep the blinders on, Chaz. Your 'liberty activists' have done nothing for me, and I doubt they ever will. I just like to point out the total bullshit you guys portray yourselves as. Someday, perhaps, you will learn that we are part of a society. There are rules, and there are acceptable ways of behavior. And I agree, my behavior on this blog isn't the best. Tough shit. When someone does the exact same type of thing you and your group does, you lose it. Total hypocrites. You like to throw around names like Ghandi and MLK and Rosa Parks, as if it will give some sort of legitimacy to your movement. It doesn't. They were TRUE freedom fighters. 100 years from now they will still be remembered. Your group will not. They affected change. Real change. If you don't like the society you are in, work to change it. Or move. I here Somalia has no government rule, might be a good place for you. But just because others don't agree with you and you don't get your way, it doesn't make you right. Yelling it thru a bullhorn doesn't make it any more true. Just because someone has a talk show doesn't mean they have anything real to say. Saying it over and over again may convince you and some of the more feeble minded of it's validity. Not me. Truth is truth, and bullshit is bullshit. For some it is easy to distinguish, for others, not so. I don't know about you, but I know Ian is full of shit. The emperor has no clothes.
And Chaz, I don't mindlessly blurt anything.

Well, Ian Freeman, this is where you live. Just because 'voluntary' is in one definition, doesn't mean it is the only definition. Your 'Shire Society' is here, a subset if you will, of this society at large. That is the truth. Deny it if you want, but it is the truth. Rules and ways of behavior apply to you. Like I said, move your society to Somalia if you wish. There are no other sets of rules there. But you do choose to live here. You just don't want the rules that you don't like to apply to you. If you aren't part of this society, then why are you trying to change the rules of it? Just ignore them and go on your merry way. Don't subject yourself to petty things like that.
No, you just like to make waves and get attention. Good short term tactic, but in the long run, you will be forgotten. As will the Shire Society.

on Sun, 29th Aug 2010 10:00 am Steve doth took advantage of a sale at Hannafords on Mindlessly brands, artificially smart flavor of Blurted Forth:

Keep the blinders on, Chaz. Your ‘liberty activists’ have done nothing for me, and I doubt they ever will.

That's what I expected out of you, Steve. As Rich Paul would say, "If you're happy and you know it, shake your chains". Do you remember what I had clearly and succinctly explained to you in my last message? No?

It does not matter if you give us your blessings now or even your gratitude later. It also does not hinder my cause if a slave refuses to realize his enslavement. Enough have chosen to cast off their chains, to make a positive difference for liberty. You mistakenly believe that I & others are messing with "the community". It is not mean to refuse to let government be mean to people, no matter what ridiculous spin you put on it.

I just like to point out the total bullshit you guys portray yourselves as. Someday, perhaps, you will learn that we are part of a society. There are rules, and there are acceptable ways of behavior.

And again you know what is but are in such deep denial about it that it is beginning to make you appear supremely dense. We are not against rules, we are against rulers. What sickness allows thinking people to desire anyone to lord over them? I really do pity you being so scared of your independence from others who would otherwise dictate your every move in life.

And I agree, my behavior on this blog isn’t the best. Tough shit. When someone does the exact same type of thing you and your group does, you lose it. Total hypocrites. You like to throw around names like Ghandi and MLK and Rosa Parks, as if it will give some sort of legitimacy to your movement. It doesn’t. They were TRUE freedom fighters. 100 years from now they will still be remembered. Your group will not.

And now you think that you can predict the future based solely on your prejudices against freedom activists. If you pair that with your absurd support of a system based on violence, then it is no wonder that you would have a big problem with peaceful people doing brave things that you just simply have no stomach for.

They affected change. Real change. If you don’t like the society you are in, work to change it. Or move. I here Somalia has no government rule, might be a good place for you.

Live Free or Die. We belong here if anyone does, and if we don't then it is you that needs to leave first. Get some help packing if you still feel that way, that is unless it is *you* that is the hypocrite.

But just because others don’t agree with you and you don’t get your way, it doesn’t make you right. Yelling it thru a bullhorn doesn’t make it any more true. Just because someone has a talk show doesn’t mean they have anything real to say. Saying it over and over again may convince you and some of the more feeble minded of it’s validity. Not me. Truth is truth, and bullshit is bullshit. For some it is easy to distinguish, for others, not so. I don’t know about you, but I know Ian is full of shit. The emperor has no clothes.

You omitted that the emperor is not Ian Freeman and never was. You have a nasty habit, Steve of accusing us of what instead *you* are.

And Chaz, I don’t mindlessly blurt anything.

And yet you mindlessly blurt it all out anyway. You laughably believe that this is some island that you can just vote off people you don't like with no intellectual involvement at all, act as though you are speaking for a majority of the community. You don't even realize that the "community" is made up of individuals who for the most part are quite good with what the activists do.

Like I said, move your society to Somalia if you wish. There are no other sets of rules there.

Actually, there are lots of gangs of men with guns trying to rule over other people, in Somalia, just as there are here.

Just ignore them and go on your merry way.

They'll throw you in jail, if you don't send them cash to spend on blowing people up all around the world, and give to their corrupt buddies in investment banking, industry, or bureaucracy, etc.

It's sad and a little funny how desperate you are to excuse the behavior of a bunch of men and women who literally threaten to hurt people in order to extort cash from them. Who literally lock people in cages who possessing a plant without their approval, or for trading with neighbors without their say-so.

All of the arguments you make about "community" could easily be applied to jim crow, slavery, or any of a number of evil laws in the past. Hindsight's 20/20 — at the time, civil rights activists were extremely unpopular. One Atlanta poll put support for jim crow at 90%. These were not men and women vastly different from us. We're made of the same stuff as they.

To be frank, for most people, the only reason they support MLK or Rosa Parks is that they've been taught from a young age to do so. I'm betting if you'd lived then, they'd also have scared you, as people trying to upset "the community" or "the rules".

I don't agree with all of the activism chosen. You mention some — loud bullhorning, certain behaviors in the square, etc.

But the cause is legitimate, if you're willing to think honestly about it. The behaviors of the men and women calling themselves "government" do not meet basic moral standards.

Wouldn't this be a good time for a nice piece of rhubarb pie?

Ugh. How 'bout candy cane coffee instead?

Paul, I'm starting to find you very attractive.

oh

HOILY-CAN-OILY, Man-bat! Looks like another FREE KOOK…must be that fucking jerk who calls himself "keenenative"! I'm going to KILL YOU, keenenative!…

Well, it looks like "keenenative", & "freekook" are going to try to kill each other…I'll post who the survivor is…See what you started, "holy_canoli"?…Are you proud of yourself, now?
