Death in the Desert

by Rick Oltman on Tue Mar 30, 2010 11:50 am

Arizona rancher Rob Krentz was murdered on his ranch Saturday, 20 miles from the Mexican border. Rob Krentz is only the latest victim of the federal government’s willful refusal to secure our border. That's right, refusal to secure the border.This kind of violence comes as no surprise to those who live in that remote corner of Arizona, in fact all along the 2300 mile line.I met Rob Krentz many years ago when I first started traveling Cochise County to help the ranchers get media coverage for the porous border. As I recall he seemed like most of the other people in that part of America. An honest, humble, hard working, patriotic American who knew there was a border problem and expected that once the federal government knew how bad it really was…it would be fixed.

We all thought that, years ago. Now we know this government, and the previous administration and the one before that don’t want the border closed, they want it open so that business can have nearly unfettered access to millions of cheap workers, and equally important, the new consumers they become. Unfortunately for Rob Krentz and others the lack of enforcement and resulting open border means that drug traffickers, kidnappers and killers can also come into our country. Does any adult actually think that the horrific violence and devaluation of human life that we hear about south of the border actually stays there and doesn’t cross over into our country?

Those monitoring the radio Saturday night heard that a helicopter spotted the killers and watched them move back into Mexico. Now, this is just speculation on my part, but I expect the perpetrator(s) to be caught by the Mexicans and turned over to American law enforcement...not alive of course. What do I mean? First of all, the Mexican cartels are furious at this killing and the media coverage it is getting.

That open border is worth over $20 billion a year in remesas (remittances) to the Mexican economy. And how much drug money? Probably more than that. Anything, that brings attention to the border and results in Americans demanding more border security directly impacts their pocketbooks, and they need to get this off the front page...immediately. I would guess that the Mexican government and drug cartels (sorry, I know that sounds redundant to some of you) and all the other corrupt institutions in Mexico have probably put a bounty out on these guys. Something simple like; Wanted, Dead.

They will turn over the corpses to our guys trying to kill two birds with one stone; 1. Ending the media coverage and, 2. Sending a message to other border crossing criminals not to do something so stupid that focuses the American's attention on the border. Just do your illegal business, smuggling of drugs, illegals, other contraband, but DO NOT draw attention to the virtual lack of enforcement on that border. That is not smart business.BTW, the unofficial motto for one BP Station on the line is; "Destined for Failure."Rob Krentz was a multi-generational American whose family helped build this country and I couldn't help but think when I heard of his murder, that this was the Old America being killed by the New America. Hope I'm wrong...

SO YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION?

So You Say You Want a Revolution?By Matt Patterson

How are the people to react to the erosion of liberty that is the Obama health care regime? To be sure, lawyers will challenge it in the courts, and November is right around the corner, giving opportunity to punish those traitorous politicians who acquiesced to the debasement of our Constitution.This is all to the good. But we cannot count on lawyers and politicians. God help us if we do. We the people in our righteous anger must take matters into our own hands:

It is time for a strike. The only peaceable protest that could possibly have any effect on the implementation of ObamaCare would be to withhold the tax revenue required to fund it.

Unfortunately, Franklin Roosevelt long ago imposed the odious practice of "withholding," whereby the government takes what it considers its share before it even gets to you. First used for a limited duration during the Civil War, withholding became a permanent feature of our taxation system with the Social Security tax during the Great Depression, and then with income tax starting in World War II. As the U.S. Treasury Department's website helpfully notes, the institution of permanent withholding "eased the collection of the tax for both the taxpayer and the Bureau of Internal Revenue. However, it also greatly reduced the taxpayer's awareness of the amount of tax being collected, i.e. it reduced the transparency of the tax, which made it easier to raise taxes in the future."

Indeed it did, and it left the people little recourse to refuse to pay an unjust tax for use toward an unjust end (too bad for the British that they had no such system in the 1700s; there may never have been a Revolution).

Well, then, since we have to work for them to be able to take our money -- and it is our money -- we have but to sit out of work. A strike. For just one day, at first, and that day should, of course, be April 15.

This voluntary removal from the labor force would need to be en masse to be even remotely effective, and even then it would be largely symbolic -- at first. But it would be an unmistakable salvo to the government: What can be done once can be done again, and for longer, if need be. If the beast of government must gorge on the people's blood to thrive, then we must deny our blood by denying our sweat.(This would be different from the self- removal from society by innovators and geniuses detailed in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.

These people in Obama's America need not bother going on strike -- they have effectively been given the pink slip and told their services will no longer be needed. Their talents, after all, are precisely what leads to the inequality of outcomes so hated by Obama and all statists.) There is evidence that a mass strike of the people can work. In the early fifth century B.C., not long after Rome had driven out its kings and established the world's first republic, the common people, or plebs, conducted just such a strike to protest the injustices perpetrated on them by Rome's aristocratic patrician class. The plebs seceded from the Eternal City and removed themselves to the Mons Sacra, or Sacred Mountain, just beyond the city walls. There they formed their own government, the concilium plebis, and threatened to form their own country if they were not granted more power in the new Roman government.It worked. Soon the patricians, suddenly without commoners to cook and serve their food, tend their horses, mend their clothes, and staff their army, agreed to a series of concessions, including the creation of a new office to be elected from among the plebs, the Tribune, who would have the power to veto legislation proposed by the Senate and whose body would be sacrosanct.

The plebs would also later win consent to adoption of the Twelve Tables, a legal code which granted them constitutional protections from the abuses of the senatorial class.

We would be wise to study this example, for something very like it may be our only recourse should elections and lawsuits fail us.

A mass strike saved and strengthened our great ancestor, the Roman Republic.It may yet save and strengthen our own.

WILL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS STOP AT NOTHING?

Will Democrats in Congress stop at nothing?

By Matt Patterson
March 19, 2010

Democrats in Washington are determined to ram their agenda through Congress and - possibly as soon as this weekend - transform national health care from liberal dream into legislative reality. To do so, they are willing to ignore:

•Public opinion. Large majorities of Americans continue to oppose the health care plan; as of March 8, Rasmussen reported 53 percent against, including 41 percent who strongly oppose.

A recent CNN poll found only 25 percent of Americans in favor of the plan, while the balance favor Congress starting over or scrapping work on health care altogether.

But never mind the noisy din of the rabble; the Democrats have convinced themselves that the public is too stupid to know what is good for them, and that once the bill passes, Congress will be showered with thanks from a grateful nation that suddenly will have discovered what wonders the Democrats have bestowed on them.

Has there ever been a more reckless, delusional disregard for public opinion in the history of our democracy?

•Their own political futures. The disregard for the public's strong opposition will of course have terrible political consequences. As Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen, pollsters for the last two Democratic presidents, recently warned in TheWashington Post: "Democrats are pursuing policies that are out of step with the way ordinary Americans think and feel about politics and government. Barring some change of approach, they will be punished severely at the polls."

How severely? An "unmitigated disaster" awaits Democrats in November, predict the pollsters, and they are not alone.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid don't care; they seem perfectly willing to sacrifice the political lives of their foot soldiers (and in Mr. Reid's case, his own political career) for the sake of health care reform.

•The Constitution. Remember that part in the Constitution that gives the federal government the power to force you to buy something, under threat of fine or jail?

No? Oh, that must be because the Constitution contains no such odious provision; in fact, it's a fair bet that the fellows who gathered in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 would have reacted to such a suggestion with a mixture of horror and laughter.But never mind.

Nancy Pelosi responds to a question from a journalist about the constitutionality of the individual mandate with, "Are you serious? Are you serious?" You can understand her incredulity; imagine, an American journalist daring to bring up something so frivolous and antiquated as the United States Constitution! What a fool.

•Our untenable fiscal situation. Greece and other European countries are teetering on the brink of societal collapse due to years of profligate fiscal policy. Our own nation is right on track to follow suit:

In February, the United States racked up a record $221 billion in debt, the 17th straight month that the federal government produced shameful deficits.Can we be frank? We are worse than dead broke. We are bankrupt. And yet, the Democrats claim they can compel, expand and subsidize health coverage to 30 million more Americans and not make things worse.

Does anybody in Washington really believe this?

Perhaps, but in the rest of the country, this is seen for precisely what it is: insanity.If the Democrats are willing to ignore the public, their own political futures, the Constitution and the nation's empty coffers in pursuit of their health care chimera, my question is this:

What won't they ignore? What legal, moral and political stricture won't they bend, break or disregard?

In short: What won't they do?A ruling party willing to ignore these things can conceivably ignore anything. The thought sends chills down my spine, for from such seeds are the flowers of tyranny often sown.

That our governing class would seek to create another trillion-dollar entitlement, even as our state and national governments are awash in red ink as never before and our children are shouldered with unshakable debt before they are even born is more than just disgraceful. It is terrifying.

MICRO CHIP IMPLANTING REQUIREMENT PLACED IN OBAMAHEALTH CARE NIGHTMARE

Microchiping included in Healthcare Bill? Daily PaulNovember 13, 2009Buried deep within the over 1,000 pages of the massive US Health Care Bill (PDF) in a “non-discussed” section titled:

Subtitle C-11 Sec. 2521— National Medical Device Registry, and which states its purpose as:“The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that—‘‘(A) is or has been used in or on a patient; and ‘‘(B) is a class III device; or ‘‘(ii) a class II device that is implantable.”

In “real world speak”, according to this report, this new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework for making the United States the first Nation in the World to require each and every one of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn’t, allowed medical care in their country.

UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH I WILL NEVER, EVER ALLOW ANYONE TO IMPLANT
ANY MICROCHIP INSIDE OF MY FLESH.
