Im going to make some predictions, about his announcement tomorrow. If im wrong ill just remove the post and my errors will never be provable.<br />
<br />
First I think his exec. orders will be meaningless, at best they will redefine the current law. I dont expect any change in gun law.<br />
<br />
Second, I think he will put a gun ban together. It wont achieve enough votes, not even close. It will get butchered up and the mental health and other issues will finally make it to law but also no gun law changes.<br />
<br />
In short I don't think he wants the headache right now, i think he has other deviant plans in unrelated areas. He wants to walk in front of the parade to look good then go back to screwing up the economy.<br />
<br />
We will see?</div>

<br />
I just noticed John Lott's book 'More Guns Less Crime' is available for free, find it here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://archive.org/details/MoreGunsLessCrime">http://archive.org/details/MoreGunsLessCrime</a><br />
<br />
You will find the type of download for your system on the left side of the screen, for PC, android, kindle and a slew of others for whatever system you want to view it on.<br />
<br />
His book is the most comprehinsive sorce of facts and statics, concerning gun control. If a person is armed with its knowledge, they are equiped to discredit any anti gun argument. And I mean any antigun argument because the facts show just what the title says; more guns less crime. The arguments for gun control are just false.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For example: We hear this all the time "england has outlawed guns and has far fewer gun deaths than the US" England is of course much smaller than the US so thats not an accurate comparison. Except for the liberal agenda it a false narrative that works well. John Lott points out, The European Union has a much higher rate of gun violence than the US. Which is closer to apples to apples.<br />
And Thats not the hole story, england has a very high rate of robery and home invasion, in fact, its through the roof ( from a criminal perspective: if you know they dont have a gun whats to stop you from kicking in the door and robing them?) And the rate of violent crimes against the mandated unarmed of the European Union is staggering, but if they have no means of viable defense they are easy prey for any criminal that targets them. Unarmed victims creates a might makes right mentality. Of course during a brutal attack, im sure the aggressor will allow a time-out for the victim to phone the police. They will be right there, As Lott says: when seconds count the police are only minutes away.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I had this older cow, i was hoping she would give me a calf this spring, but she didn't make it. I had to shoot her The night before Christmas. So the butcher process was hampered by the bitter cold. On the plus side, thats better for the meat than summer heat.<br />
<br />
I had problems first off, the wind was whipping so the chill was well below zero, since my face would freeze i would guess it was a wind chill -30, 10 or 15 min at a time outside was all i could manage. I saw a chart once that showed the exposure times for bare skin to freeze at given temperature, i dont remember the chart exactly but i think im pretty close. In any case, it was pretty damn cold for the mild winter this year. I normally wear a hood, a ski mask would be better but then ones eyes are exposed and that cant be good. At least when my cheeks freeze i know its time to get inside to warm up, before any serious damage is done.<br />
<br />
I had to alter my steps to slaughter given the cold and the freezing of the animal. Preferably I would skin the animal first off, but since it froze before i could get out to remove the hide, quartering it seemed like a better step then i can heat it and remove the hide from each quarter then wash and hang them to get some benefit of aging.<br />
<br />
The following is the best way I know to slaughter a large animal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Its not practical for me to keep a chainsaw just for meat, so i use my wood saw. I drain the bar oil rinse it with cooking oil, wash the chain and bar, drain the rinse cooking oil, ad new cooking oil, cut on a log to get the new oil flowing and this i think removes leftover crud from the chain. I wouldn't worry about wood chips or oil on your meat, the animal is so large any particles are minute in relation to the size of the project. also you will be cutting bone and will wash the quarters when done. The books say to use a hand saw but their saw must be better than mine, it would take all day by hand with the chain saw its about 15 min frozen, less if it were a fresh kill.<br />
<br />
In a perfect world here are the steps that i think works best, obviously circumstances may require altering the order. but a deep throat cut and gutting should not be left for later, they need to be done just after the kill.<br />
<br />
1) Prep your saw, knives and gun, if your using a tractor to raise the animal get it started and nearby with the chains. But with the chainsaw quartering the tractor is not necessary it is helpful though.<br />
<br />
2) You need to make a brain shot to the head. Visualize an X a line from the eye to opposite ear then another line from the other eye to opposite ear just a hair above the crossing of each line will give a good brain shot. I like a large caliber to ensure the skull is penetrated. making the kill quick and safe.<br />
<br />
3)After the shot and the animal is dead it may kick this is normal reflexes. If it blinks or has eye movement it is alive take another shot. Then cut the throat deep to get the blood draining, all the way in to the pipe and around the sides. You could use your saw now but it will sling a lot off blood.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdaXsGY1C8MRDNuMELxviKFil4sYVUPcYr5tOqOQMrKRbUrVf-R4sgNrXb3kP_uGe_JiFMp2BetEWiAoSiZscPNca0bQoqQdk0EJdQR9Zu7j7AZjU0FoQ4bW3M0JYin1MM3kivxiGtLY/s1600/IMG_20130101_164329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdaXsGY1C8MRDNuMELxviKFil4sYVUPcYr5tOqOQMrKRbUrVf-R4sgNrXb3kP_uGe_JiFMp2BetEWiAoSiZscPNca0bQoqQdk0EJdQR9Zu7j7AZjU0FoQ4bW3M0JYin1MM3kivxiGtLY/s400/IMG_20130101_164329.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
4) Wrap your chain around the leg twice or more then hook it, this way the leg cant pull out. Lay your chain across your bucket on the tractor this will give the legs a good spread then hook the other leg to the chain same thing twice or more around the leg. Then lift the hole animal off the ground.<br />
<br />
5) Now here is an alteration point. You need to gut it but if you are steady with your chain saw, cut the sternum and throat first. Start at the head just lop it off just past the skull right behind the ears. Then take your saw cutting with the top of the chain, then it slings blood and guts away ( when cutting from the bottom chain it will sling back at you) Then cut into the throat cutting upwards to the sternum (center line of rib cage) cut all the way up the throat and all the way up the sternum, stop before you get to the stomach . Take your knife cut a circle around the butt hole (bung hole) this way the rectum will fall out with the guts. Using your knife cut the belly open from the butt to the sternum. Dont cut deep you dont want to open the internal organs. (But if you do accidentally open the bladder or stomach wash it out if possible after the organs are removed.) With the animal open all the way the internals will be rolling out use your knife to cut the securing tissue and arteries. (You can gut it first but if you open the sternum first it helps the guts fall out. ) Move the tractor and animal away from the guts for room to work. Or move the guts away if your not using a tractor.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6) Now if you want the hide intact skin it now otherwise quarter it then skin the quarters. Skinning it will take more time than the steps above, its kinda a pain in the ass. Professionals will do it in a couple minutes. But allow some time for this part. Start by cutting around the leg as near the hoof as possible then from this cut cut along the inside the leg to the but and up to the other leg. Then peal the hide away using your knife separate the tissue from your knife as you go. It gets easier as more of the hide weight helps to pull itself down.<br />
<br />
7) Now, take your chainsaw cut through the pelvic bone and all the way down the spine, you should cut along spine NOT ether side. The very good meat is on each side of the spine. Cut all the way past the neck till the animal is in two haves. Then cut between the 3 and 4 ribs, along the rib bones across the carcass, do this on each side. now you have 4 quarters, hang the front quarters and your ready to wash with clean water and hang in a cool dry place. If temps will be above 40 degrees, or so, you may need to skip the aging and process and wrap the meat.<br />

I noticed today the NRA is having a membership sale. 25 bucks for a year normally 35. I hope you will join, or signup a relative as a New Years gift. Perhaps give a gift issue to that liberal relative, the NRA mailings will surely embarrass them- when they are home alone they may sneak a peak and learn something.<br />
<br />
I don't agree with the NRA on their single issue position. But today we need their single issue position the most, and they need money! Not to mention a rise in membership sends a message.<br />
<br />
<br />
If your planning a bloody standoff when they come for your guns ; since you joined the NRA you can honestly say you attempted peaceful resolution to avoid violence.<br />

I heard Diane Finestein on fox news sunday. She said her proposal is to revamp the clinton gun ban, and close "loop holes" like ban the transfer of existing weapons and high capacity magazines. Also put assault weapons under the same controls as a class II weapons requiring registration and fingerprinting and perhaps the tax stamp fee. She indicated this would be required for current owners.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"></span>I understand the bill would work something like the following:<br />
A) You will have to register any "assault weapons" you already own. You will not be able to sell yours. You will not be able to purchase more.<br />
B) The registration would be similar to the class II weapons registration. Including fingerprinting, background investigation, fees- tax- processing, and you agree to allow the ATF to enter your home or place where you have stated weapons are stored to inspect the weapons for compliance any time THEY choose.<br />
C) High capacity magazines will be under the same control as the "assault weapon" restrictions above. Including registration and sales-purchase will be banned.<br />
D) It is unclear if you would be able to purchase new or used if you follow the class II weapons requirements. It may be the same as legally owning a full auto weapon today.<br />
<br />
What is clear, any infringement on firearms ownership is a violation of our bill of rights.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't own a sawed-off shot gun, it would be nice, but the risk of a Felony to possess one is not very appealing. If Finestine's wishes become law your little black gun will carry the same penalties as a sawed-of shot gun. (unless you submit to criminal controls).</div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I have several issues with the narrative of the Newtown shooting.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
First is the entry of the shooter, from the lock-down security door, it has an electronic lock that is operated from the inside, when the lock is released a buzzer sounds. Now here is how the story unfolded. The first reports said the shooter was buzzed-in but they didn't know by whom; then later that night they were reporting the shooter was buzzed in by the principal who was among the dead. then in the days that followed the story changed to the shooter shooting his way in. Now here is the problem; this part never changed but, the principal was shot when she was giving the morning announcement, the school heard the shooting of the principal over the loud speaker on the PA system. When you combine each story, the sequence doesn't work. If the shooter was out side "shooting his way-in " How could have the principal been in-side giving the announcement, unaware of the gunfire just outside. then the shooter shot the principle during the morning announcement. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I suspect the first reports were correct; the shooter was buzzed-in. The shooter had his brothers id on him when he was found. Could this have been the ID he used to get admitted? The lie is almost reasonable, or necessary, imagine the outrage if the public were to learn he was buzzed-in, and the only security system in place had not been utilized to keep the bad guys out.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I have a possible scenario. The shooter hid ammo and weapon (s) near an emergency exit. Went to the front door got buzzed-in, from the inside opened the exit perhaps wedging something in the door switch so the fire-alarm would not go off (it just now occurred to me that the Aurora shooter used a similar plan to rig the exit door of the theater) then got the weapon (s) and ammo. The shooting spree followed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
An alternate scenario could also have been: On a prior visit to the school, he rigged the exit door so it would not lock. Then used the rigged door to enter the school with the weapon(s) and ammo on the day of the shooting. I recal early news reports said the would be shooter had some sort of altercation with school staff several days prior to the shooting on Friday. was the earlier visit the a setup to rig the door? The official narrative has dropped the version with the early visit from the shooter. not surprising all the details that included the schools lack of adequate security precautions have vanished. </div>

I hear the usual yammering on the fiscal cliff ( by the way, did you know some people out there think the term is <b>Physical</b> cliff, i heard them call in to the various talk shows and the host corrects them, so I know i didn't misunderstand. HA HA HA,,, dumb asses) I heard a clip of obama talking he was saying how important it is to make a deal, YATA, YATA, But then he says how fragile the economy and housing recovery is. Now, we all know the "recovery" is bullshit. But the falling over the fiscal cliff is a handy excuse to explain the economic nosedive that is just around the corner. It is only one more reason in a long list of reason that benefit Obama when fall off the fiscal cliff. But its all side show BS anyways.<br />
<br />
In other news Facebook is canceling accounts and or removing posts that are politically charged against the left-wing, PRO gun, PRO II Amendment, quotes from the countries founders, and crime statistics. Facebook shuts down the account and requires the owner to submit picture ID and is warned the next time they violate the use guidelines they will be banned permanently. Alex Jones and sever well known people have had their accounts locked down, but several "regular" people have experienced the same-thing, according to callers on last nights Coast to Coast show.<br />
<br />
<br />
IN lighter news: a last month rerun of the Dennis Miller show, they were talking of a hoaxer in Montana, dressed in a big-foot costume, was hit by two cars and killed. ( Dennis correctly pointed out: 'if your going to dress-up as Big-foot, wear an orange hunting vest').</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, if you know what to look for, they are fairly easy to spot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pictures show a counterfeit with two genuine coins. The counterfeit is the middle coin in all the pictures. Now, in the pic below the left coin is a near mint condition, the coin on the right is a fair depiction of a dollar with normal wear. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAD-5W0CbAaV-Eb0nr2dLNS6YlO7_0kxxqKTL_-L-Ui2qb5sdHKb2vfF1eAPpng9G8mqc2fV7cDyPpNE8gp6SOJzDAemy0xwCbiB_hNo9dSdDvwbaOWX2OIPSR2t2fnId3TL7DUpATzbE/s1600/IMG_20121227_213534.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAD-5W0CbAaV-Eb0nr2dLNS6YlO7_0kxxqKTL_-L-Ui2qb5sdHKb2vfF1eAPpng9G8mqc2fV7cDyPpNE8gp6SOJzDAemy0xwCbiB_hNo9dSdDvwbaOWX2OIPSR2t2fnId3TL7DUpATzbE/s400/IMG_20121227_213534.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The counterfeit weighs withen the correct range (worn coins never weigh all the same so close is as good as you can get), it is nonmagnetic and the detail is very good.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj19KGvtWuqR2HxAc-awWXSlsCZi-ViPd9DFsJUheO1kGKw99nLbArjkyuLcZdZIiJn4SEBskIct8mmm1TzjxcxxPpM0kp0WsbIGev2RlAy3Mzmy4xOaNONk5ZtuBni6Bb0cY7YMKA9nHc/s1600/IMG_20121227_213622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj19KGvtWuqR2HxAc-awWXSlsCZi-ViPd9DFsJUheO1kGKw99nLbArjkyuLcZdZIiJn4SEBskIct8mmm1TzjxcxxPpM0kp0WsbIGev2RlAy3Mzmy4xOaNONk5ZtuBni6Bb0cY7YMKA9nHc/s400/IMG_20121227_213622.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

The counterfeit is thicker than the real coins. The reason for the greater thickness, is because metal has a mass to weight ratio. The metal for the counterfeit need more mass to achieve equal weight (or close enough ). Silver has a distinct weight ratio, this is the major hurdle for any good counterfeit. Gold on the other hand is nearly identical weight to mass ratio as tungsten ........ But thats another subject. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The counterfeit coin is a cast pored job, note the edge is not uniform. A US coin is dye struck, meaning a blank coin is actually hit with a dye and the image is formed (or transfered ). The counterfeit is molten metal pored in a cast, or a mold. So, in this case, the counterfeit is easily spotted by stacking it with other Morgans, that are <b>known</b> to be authentic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also silver has a distinct ring when striking two coins together, or drop the coin flat side on a counter or cutting board; the ring is different than <b>any</b> fake coin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keep stacking! I know i will.</div>

I started using the new cat. It is quite impressive to operate. The dirt here is hard pan rock solid clay. I have had other equipment like skid steers but for most jobs they where just not effective. They lacked the might to overcome the hard soil. The skid steers could sometimes chisels away a bite of soil, but sometimes it was completely unable to dig. It could zip around much faster than the larger track loader, although flat tires were sometimes a problem. Of course with tracks thats not an issue now. Over all i have to say the track loader was a good buy, it has some drawbacks like large and lumber some, but when it gets to the job it'll get it done.<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
In the past I was renting a skid steer foe the dirt work but, in the hard pan often it was completely unable to dig. The costs would ad up. at 150 per day or 600 a week. also each time there is a learning curve before i could run the newly rented machine efficiently.<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
Also having a rented machine causes a higher level of stress, since it costs money and time is running, day light is burning and if other problems arise during the rental period, to deal with it costs your time plus the equipment rental time, for a machine that is just sitting, waiting for you to finish with the problem, ad get back in the machine. TIMES 'A WAISTN<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">ADVISE ON RENTING A MACHINE <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">(its unsolicited so if you dont want it, just skip this part)</span></span><br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
A) most places will charge you if the equipment is damaged. A flat tire is fairly cheep, a torn tire or blown hydrolic line is easly 500 bucks or more so be careful.<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
B) Some places charge extra for the trailer. Sometimes its a flat rate, other times its by the day. That gets expensive to pay 50 bucks a day if the trailer is only needed to bring the machine in and then for its return a week later. So check rates on both the machine and the trailer.<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
C) I have rented a machine from a local contractor, he charged less and delivered the machine to me. It may be worth calling some contractors that do dirt work, see if they rent equipment. Likely they like money, and will take the opportunity to get more.<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
D) Get several 5 gallon diesel cans to bring in more fuel if your rental is longer than a few days.<br />
<br class="webkit-block-placeholder" />
E) take your time till you get the feel of the machine, back up steep grades to avoid rolling over. Its pretty hard to roll one but it could get expensive in the off chance it did.<br />

This shooting is forming a perfect example for everything that big government despises. from anti gun, anti home schooling, anti prepper/survivalist.<br />
<br />
This morning i hear the news is reporting the mother of the shooter was a prepper that was stockpiling weapons in case of economic collapse.<br />
<br />
So now, according to current reports, we have a recently divorced woman that was financially well of, she was a prepper stock piling supplies, her mentally unstable son was home schooled. Coupled with the mass shooting of children;the anti all above group couldn't have invented a better argument.<br />
<br />
Have facts been embellished or modified, to prepare an argument for an agenda?</div>

The New Town shooting is maddening as hell.<br />
<br />
I think we should hold the government accountable. After all parents are required to have their children attend school, by force of law. They cant even choose which school they were required to attend this school in their district. The government failed to provide adequate protection. The school has a lock down security system where a person needs to get buzzed-in they failed to utilize the system, when the buzzed-in the would be shooter. The story is already changing. First reports on Friday afternoon said the shooter was buzzed in but they didn't know by whom. Late Friday night the news was saying the shooter was buzzed in by the principal whom was among the dead. Sat morning the news was shifting to the would be shooter forced his way past the lock down system. I dont know how that could be.
My main point is the school knew the world is a dangerous place, that is why they installed the security system, yet they failed to take any reasonable precautions such as an armed guard, armed teachers would be even better. Since the law requires you leave your children in the states care the state should have taken at least reasonable precautions to insure their safety.
They had taken only one safety measure, the security system and as far as i can tell they didn't use it properly.</div>
It is a case in point of government requiring an activity and then failing to fulfill the essential role of governing.

<br />
I like to collect precious metals. My favorite is Morgan Dollars. They are 90% of an ounce of silver. I like junk silver also, because its small denominations of silver make it a good coin for barter. I don't consider A Morgan junk silver though. I have been noticing Morgans when purchased from coin shops are for the most part paid as though they are junk. I understand a coin dealer needs to make a living but paying 10% under spot for a Morgan is closer to scalping. Even a basic run of the mill Morgan is still worth over the silver price as it has a numismatic value above the content of silver. I would trust a Morgan to be authentic before I would trust a bar of silver. There are counterfeit Morgans out there but they are fairly recognizable. Some of the copies are very good but the weight by mass is different than other materials. So in essence the coin size needs to change to meet the same weight as silver. The cheaper fakes are magnetic. I have a fake Morgan that is a good copy from China. It is identical to the other coins except in that it is thicker. It weighs the same as a Morgan in similar condition though.I say "weighs" the same in "similar condition" because the coin will weigh much less when it is worn in circulation. The point I'm making is that the Morgan coin dollar is an easily recognisable coin with a fairly well known value of silver. And since it is well known it is easily used as barter silver. The ease of using this well known coin in barter to me increases it value. A bar for example you would need to go online with the original mint to verify its mas to weight. With a Morgan you simply compare it to a another Morgan that's believed/known authentic.<br />
<br />
In a collapsed society you may not have Internet nor the catalogs to verify weight and mass. Not to worry though, If you do find yourself in a post collapse barter deal and your presented with an item that you want to check pure metal content.(first make sure its not magnetic) Ask the person presenting the item if you can scribe test it. If they say no, pass on the deal. If agreed then use a punch or if your crude gouge in-to it with a hack saw. You just need to get through the plating, if it is a plated you will know when brake the plating. Most silver fakes are copper under the plating.<br />
<br />
Since we are on the subject of fake; "pure German silver" is not silver, it is a nickel copper composition. Also all the fake Morgans I have seen were in 18 hundreds era, It is not to say that a 19 hundreds one was never forged. But I use a little more caution with the 18 hundreds Morgans. To make the full circle back to junk silver, very few of these small coins would be a counterfeit because it is just to small of a denomination for any forger worth his salt, to invest the time and energy to, produce a quality counterfeit. Why make a dime when you can make a dollar.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the best all around form of silver is the junk; dimes and quarters.</div>BUCK SEXTONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068368801037109698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890757921204619180.post-17708849628702388012011-12-13T10:48:00.000-07:002011-12-13T10:48:30.748-07:00Wheat farming and drug laws<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Wheat farming and drug laws. The two seem pretty far detached but they are not. In fact Gun regulation, wheat farming and The war on drugs are all made possible by a law suit challenging farm subsides and a farmers right to grow additional wheat beyond the wheat he was subsidised to grow. In the 1930's when farm subsidies were just getting started. This case was argued in 1942 . <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn</a><br />
<br />
The supreme Court ruled in favor of the US gov. Saying that if the farmer grows more wheat even though this wheat was for personal use it would still effect the market of US wheat prices since the farmer would have grown it and not purchased the wheat from the "market". <br />
<br />
The regulation on interstate commerce was born; this is the same law the US uses to regulate Guns, drugs and a laundry list of other activities.<br />
<br />
On a side note:I mention subsidies starting in the 1930's because its important to note that during the Great Depression the US was manipulating wheat and other farm crops to drive the price higher. Its a fact unknown to the city folk in bread lines.</div>BUCK SEXTONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068368801037109698noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890757921204619180.post-28965275268909828152011-12-11T15:08:00.000-07:002011-12-11T15:08:13.861-07:00You cant fix what aint broke.?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">What a political divide we have today. Some believe the government is broken and that the government is the problem. Others believe the system is mostly good and not broken, their only gripe is that the Government is not doing enough. Of course there is variations of each side. I think the people in the second group are able to reason that if: they feel they are entitled to something from another and are expecting the government to equalize the situation, logic would dictate they are wrong. <br />
<br />
But for the people in the second group, (the wrong group) they know they are wrong but since it benefits them they are willing to stay on the wrong side and pretend it is the right side. <br />
<br />
Of course this is all by design it keeps us peasants poking at each others eyes, when the grand scheme of things the political elite is reaping the rewards of public office, the feds and the banking class running the fed is casting all of us into economic slavery. <br />
<br />
The only solution that comes to my mind is to exit the current monetary system. Using barter including precious metals is one way to avoid taxation and limit ones participation. The problem is, this is only part of the control. If you owe child support or back taxes it is a crime to refuse to participate. Property taxes is another that will require your participation, or you will be evicted by the state. Of course the list of required participation is a large one, Drivers licences, business licences, registration, vehicle insurance. Etc.etc.... Don't forget the soon required health care mandate.<br />
<br />
But I still think barter is a step in the right direction. It keeps a private transaction private.</div>BUCK SEXTONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068368801037109698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890757921204619180.post-76465163810493024812010-10-24T06:35:00.000-06:002010-10-24T06:35:51.342-06:00Electric eyeDo you ever get that feeling that your being watched? Well your not crazy you are being watched and your criminal record is being run regularly. Most states if not all have speed reading electric eyes affixed at intersections toll booths and on patrol cars. These eyes can read perhaps hundreds of vehicle license plates in a mater of seconds. Your license plate is connected to your name that is matched to NCIC (National Crime Information Center). Of course your plate is also matched for current registration and some states match the plate with insurance data base records for required insurance coverage.<br />
<br />
The Electric Eye system rapidly reads any plate in view of the 360 degree angle. In the case of a patrol car as it reads the plates and runs information if there is a hit it alarms and gives a description of the vehicle Make model year and color and the location of the hit. When my license was suspended for so-called child support I would often get undue scrutiny when passing a cop, They always seamed to turn to look as I passed. When I was driving the service truck it didn't seam to happen. But It was registered to a Corporation and not linked to my license or me. Here in Montana they started asking for your DL number when registering a vehicle.......Now I know why.<br />
<br />
It goes without saying if our founders could comprehend such technology they would have considered it a complete overreach of government, I'm sure. I think it is a warrant-less search. The PTB would argue that since it is only checking public information its not a search. But I say since it is searching information for the purpose of levying a charge on a person it is a search with no probable cause. <br />
<br />
Effectively this system focuses on a person behaving lawfully and searches to find a crime to charge them with.<br />

Its 320 acres with live water. Far enough from population yet close enough to services to live comfortably till the complete collapse. (I suspect we are in for a very long deep depression). Now this property is expensive but an option may be to have several people chip-in. then you have strength in numbers. This property if managed well could easily support a very large group. With cows sheep and goats you would have more than enough meat to go around. You could have a magnificent garden. A large group with an accumulation of cash could bargain the price down for a quick sale the owners would likely take the money. Perhaps an offer of 125k would be accepted. The asking price is 200k but you never know what they will take and it never hurts to ask. If they want to get pissed of from a cash offer, that's there problem.....Honestly though they surly would take 150k, I would eat my hat if they said no. Check it out, it also has nice pic in the ad.<br />

Here is an interesting piece, by <span> <a href="http://spectator.org/people/angelo-m-codevilla" rel="author">Angelo M. Codevill</a>a </span>. It has been making the rounds among conservatives and folks that are concerned by the actions of our governing body. This piece by Codevilla is an eye opening perspective on the difference of today's elected officials (ruling class) hand how us surfs are effectively being ruled by the likings of a college cliche. I heard of this piece a while back, today I was reminded of it when Dennis Miller interviewed Codevilla on a show replay today.<br />

He points out that the last drop in jobless claims was due to the reporting agencies being closed on Labor day.Apparently they only had reports from 41 states. In the nine states that did not report CA was one of them. Absence of the reporting states stats they, guessed to arrive at a figure for jobless claims.<br />

Also I think the stock market is building confidence in the expected victory of conservatives in November. I expect we will have another peak rally before we sink. If you look at the markets of 1929 to 1933 they observed two very nice rallies before plugging for decades of disparity.BUCK SEXTONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068368801037109698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890757921204619180.post-52203815734453139122010-09-21T08:26:00.001-06:002010-09-21T08:29:54.981-06:00Political involvement.Political involvement.<br />
<br />
My problem with politics is it is a work in progress, it will never end. Our lives will be spent defending our personal liberties. I and a lot of people would rather the government just leave me alone. But there are those other people that like to be ruled, they need a government to tell them what to do. There existence is entirely dependent on the government. People like us are only hampered by government. The problem is they need people like us, to pay for people like them.<br />
<br />
The next time I get in a political discussion, and they dont understand why I dont like the dems or there socialist movement. I will point my finger in there face and say: Because I dont want to pay for your schooling, I dont want to pay for your kids, I dont want to pay for your house, I dont want to pay for your health care nor your retirement. Most of all I dont want to pay you 80k per year for your government job, that would be nonexistent in the private sector. No one needs the services they do, at least not enough to pay for them. In my job I have to offer a service and or product, that people need or want enough that they are willing to pay for it. In the gov, sector there pay is directly obtained from the proceeds of tax payer extortion, we have the choice of ether paying the excessive income taxes and other fees, or;going to jail. The absence of choice or threat is what makes there comfortable living possible.<br />
<br />
We have had groups working in the shadows to gain socialist ideals since the founding of our country.The names of the groups change and the players die off only to be replaced by new. There agenda varies over time but in essence the root of there agenda is to take from one and give to another. Today they are easily spotted, they use code words like "social justice" and praises like "its for our children". This is why we are constantly on the defensive. They are working for there goals, and willing to steal from us to achieve them. We are not working actively to achieve our goals, those being Freedom, Personal liberties, and Financial independence. I know we shouldn't have to fight for the things that are our birth right, but that doesn't change the fact that need too. The bottom line, these people want to take what is ours.<br />
<br />
On a positive note, we have the advantage: They need us to be able to pay for there socialist utopia. But we dont need them! Our lives will improve to obscene levels of greatness if it weren't for there dead weight. We need to use this to our advantage.<br />

This up-coming election is important, but we cant stop with this victory. We need to organize just as our opponents do, we need the force and effect of a collective movement for a common goal of freedom.BUCK SEXTONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068368801037109698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890757921204619180.post-61267020530550056002010-09-19T22:13:00.002-06:002010-09-19T22:30:32.972-06:00Jack boot piggy, wiggy and XE jobs<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_932196402"><br />

Above, is an article I found about what not to do when you get pulled over. It outlines how you NEED to bend over and submit to the supreme security force of the us empire. One cop in the article says 'you dont ask the questions, they do'. I was pleased to see the commits voicing outrage with the concept of simply obeying authority and not to question the commands of THE MAN. I think we should all be as uncooperative with law enforcement as possible of course we should NOT escalating the situation, they are just waiting for an excuse to beat your ass with a club. But remember there job is to write tickets and gather evidence, and information to aide the prosecutor in securing a convection. They are not there to be your friend or to buddy-up. Be sure not to waive any right or to incriminate yourself. You dont have to answer any questions....So dont answer. Just say what can I do for you officer. Repeatedly if necessary!<br />

<br />
Jason Priest for State Senate <br />
<a href="http://www.priest2010.com/issues/">http://www.priest2010.com/issues/</a><br />
<br />
He is for Personal liberties, small gov, non intrusive gov,and no new gun control. He is a true conservative with constitutional values. <br />
<br />
The guy he is running against is a complete socialist idiot. A democrap, his sight uses code words like "future is for our children" This of course means he is pro enslaving the citizen and youth of tomorrow with social programs that teach dependency on government. The dems for a long time have sought to drive the poverty level higher by offering programs that encourage you to stay on the programs, thus remaining low income and insuring a voter base; by simply promising them more free stuff by way of more social programs.<br />
<br />
An example of social programs retaining there dependents is "welfare to work", They can work to make a very low income and still receive there "benefits"of welfare. If they work more than is allowed there benefits are cut. So they work the system and stand pat, living on your taxes. They also receive many thousands of dollars by way of income credit for being low income. The earned income credit is NOT a refund of there taxes, they pay no taxes The money for the EIC is taken from others and given to them.<br />
<br />
The Dems have been brilliant in this arrangement. See a person on the above programs are receiving an extra 18K per year on these programs. If they were to apply them selves to employment and increase there income by as little as 1k they would loose all the "benefits". So when this person votes, They are not going to vote for a person that preaches "financial independence". Now when a Dem stands up and says he wants to "create more programs for the pore" That's where there vote will go.......See he just bought a vote by way of promising more free stuff at YOUR expense.<br />
<br />
Like wise, the working middle class are driven to a much lower rung on the financial ladder, because there income is extracted from them to pay for the free programs for the Democratic constituents. Of course they bribe the middle class by promising tax breaks. Which is total BS because a flat percentage tax is the only "fair" way to go but a dem would never consent to that. And the bulk of your income that is lost is taken to support there programs for ther 'pore constituent voter base'. Like Social security, unemployment insurance, and medical. This money is not taken and held for your later use; its taken to pay for the people on the programs now.<br />
<br />
There is no such thing as a good DEMOCRAT! No wait, that's not true, I like the buried ones. BUCK SEXTONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06068368801037109698noreply@blogger.com0
