I want to wish all of you a safe and happy Memorial Day tomorrow. Remember, our gang members will be out in force tomorrow. That’s all the warning that you will get.

Plain text is all the violent action they do and anything else.
I’m sure most of you have heard of Anthony Graber (video above), who was show-boating on his motorcycle and ended up having a gun pulled on him. What you may not know is that after that incident his home was raided by people with badges who stole his property. And now those people with badges want to put him in a cage.
This is a textbook case of those with badges disliking their actions being caught on film. It also highlights the lengths they’re willing to go to discourage others from doing so. In this post I’ll break down why it’s your right to film police, the double-standard police hold towards filming, and how Anthony’s case is unique.
Many people assume that alternative energy is simply too expensive, and not competitive with oil and other conventional means of energy.
While some alternative writers allege that the big oil companies have artificially increased alternative energy prices by buying up promising alternative energy technologies – for example supposedly helping to kill first-generation electric cars by buying up promising battery patents so they couldn’t be used in electric models – we don’t even need to go down that rabbit hole.
An advanced society requires energy – in the form of fuel or electricity – to power the devices necessary to sustain it. Politicians and capitalists would not ignore such an opportunity to exert tremendous influence over society, and their efforts to control the market in energy harm the environment and the economy for the rest of us.
Privilege
Benjamin Tucker used the term “monopoly” to describe areas where government intervention allowed some people to monopolize critical economic functions. As Charles Johnson writes [1] Benjamin Tucker described “four great areas where government intervention artificially created or encouraged ‘class monopolies’ – concentrating wealth and access to factors of production into the hands of a politically-select class insulated from competition, and prohibiting workers from organizing mutualistic alternatives.” He identified these as the Land Monopoly, the Money Monopoly, the Patent Monopoly, and the Tariff Monopoly.
Nobel Prize winning libertarian economist Milton Friedman once suggested that libertarians could rightfully oppose the concept of open borders as long as the United States had a welfare state. Friedman’s point was that with open borders and a welfare state, the United States would attract foreign citizens who would come here in order to get on welfare. The result would be an increase in taxes that Americans would have to pay to fund the increased number of dole recipients. The prospect of higher taxes, Friedman implied, justified libertarians’ opposing open borders as long as America maintained a welfare state.

“The Vendee is no more, my republican comrades…. The streets are littered with corpses which sometimes are stacked in pyramids. Mass shootings are taking place in Savenay because there brigands keep turning up to surrender…. [P]ity is incompatible with the spirit of revolution.”– General Fracois-Joseph Westermann, commander of the “infernal column” that slaughtered tens of thousands of Vendean secessionists during the French Revolution
Westermann: Butcher of La Vendee.
“[F]or five days, ten thousand of our men worked hard and with a will, in that work of destruction, with axes, sledges, crowbars, clawbars, and with fire…. Meridian no longer exists.”– Union General William T. Sherman, reporting on the federal destruction of Meridian, Mississippi in 1862
“We must kill three hundred thousand [as] I have told you so often, and the further they run the harder for us to get them….”
“I was satisfied, and have been all the time, that the problem of war consists in the awful fact that the present class of men who rule the South must be killed outright rather than in the conquest of territory….”– William T. Sherman, the Union Army’s General Westermann, in separate letters to his wife Ellen and to General Philip Sheridan, as quoted in The Soul of Battle by Victor Davis Hanson
William Sherman’s march to the sea, writes Victor Davis Hanson approvingly, was a war of "terror" intended to destroy an aristocratic Southern culture he hated because of its impudence in resisting the central government's authority.
Like many Americans, I once held a lesser-of-two-evils theory of politics. Although I don’t like to admit it now, for a time I even supported Barack Obama, even contributed money to his presidential campaign. I didn’t think all that much about Obama, but, as the theory goes, there are bad sociopaths out there, and there are really bad sociopaths, and you need to support the bad sociopaths to prevent the really bad ones from getting elected.
The United States Senate recently rejected two separate proposals that would have allowed the importation of cheaper medication from other countries, apparently in order to preserve a deal between the pharmaceutical industry and the White House.
The proposals were part of a wider effort to reform the U.S. healthcare system, in large part by cutting unnecessary costs.
