bm“If tomorrow the politicians in DC decide to ship you and your family to the concentration camps, which one of the following people is most likely to be the one loading you on the train?
1) a biker;

2) a DC politician;

3) a local cop.

The question is very important, and you should have an answer. A denial in the form of it-can’t-happen-here is not an answer. And your answer will show how much you understand reality.

And, the other question is: If you decide that enough is enough and decide to resist the government, which one of the people above will be the first to join you?

Capitalism, Taxation

Local Fascists

Fascism is defined as government control of business. This differs little from communism where government owns all business.

Fascism suffers some bad press by being associated with Hitler. He was a fascist, but genocide and racism are a separate issue from fascism. You can be a fascist, and still love people of all colors and creeds. Nevertheless, fascism is evil.

The problem is that fascism is not only alive and kicking in this country. At this point, we are a fascist country. There’s probably only a handful of businesses you can start without getting all kinds of permits. When starting a business expect a swarm of inspectors and hoops to jump through. No one in their right mind can pretend this is capitalism or free-market economy anymore.

What is really sad is that people in my own community are out-and-out fascists. Here are a few examples from a local Facebook page.

Laura Dudgeon Ornelas said, “Rant: to all of you who breed and sell your dogs. Do you know where every puppy goes, really? …Do you track the health and well being of every puppy through its lifetime? …Pad your pockets while animals suffer and other people shell out their money and pieces of their soul and hearts to fix what you have done.”

First of all, how would it even be possible for a business person to track a dog for 10-15 years? What if the owner isn’t cooperative, or moves out of town? Furthermore, dogs don’t have souls. They’re not created in the image of God. They should certainly not be abused, but they are the property of their new owner. Dog breeders provide a valuable service of increasing the supply of dogs, thereby reducing the price.

Here’s another example, from the same thread. Amanda Lackore said, “I was just talking to my husband about how people who breed need to have special licenses. I have to pay $6000 a year for my business license. I also believe those without one should get fined/jailed. I have seen 4 liters of pit pups for sale the past month. That’s about 40 pups that you know most will end up in the shelter.”

On one hand, she’s the victim of fascism, having to pay an outrageous bribe to operate. On the other hand, the government is her best friend, helping raise the barriers to entry into her field, which helps eliminate competition. The American people and her customers are the true victims.

Quinn McGee said, “Every breeder in my opinion is irresponsible. An accidental litter is irresponsible. People breeding to make money is irresponsible. While it may not be simple to you it is simple to me. Every breeder should be required to volunteer at an animal shelter for 24 hours before they are permitted to breed. Although most wouldn’t learn a thing…..they would just keep on breeding. It’s all about the greed.”

People supplying a product in order to make money isn’t irresponsible or greedy. It is capitalism, and everyone, including Ms. McGee provides a product or service in exchange for money. Is she greedy? In America, we all enjoy the fruit of previous generations of people seeking a profit.

And she thinks breeders should be required to volunteer at an animal shelter before receiving their permit. So, she’s in favor of using violence to get her way. She would have government agents with guns enforce her opinion. This is outrageous. This is slavery, and these people are too stupid to see it.

This is supposed to be the land of the free. What we have is quasi free-markets sustained by bribery in the form of licenses and permits.

People wonder why jobs are going overseas. The answer is simple. It’s more expensive to do business in a fascist country.

Secession

Food For Thought

Illinois and Ohio together have a higher GDP than Canada. Florida has a higher GDP than Australia. Texas has a higher GDP than Brazil. California alone would have the 7th largest economy in the world. I think it’s time for more local control.

The Land of the Slave

I’ve posted about 1 Samuel 8:15-18 before where the Lord says that a 10% income tax makes people slaves. That’s not a joke or an exaggeration. That is what the Bible teaches.

We live in a fascist/communist state. Not as bad as it could be but closer to fascism than free markets. Watch this and weep for the land of the free, where upstanding business men must go around begging for government permission.

Conversation

It’s the Fool That Says There Is No God

Here is an example of presuppositional apologetics. Look up Greg Bahnsen or Sye ten Bruggencate to learn more. I’m not holding myself up as an example of a great apologist. My intent is just to show how easy it is.

When someone denies truth, they have shown themselves to be a fool and any rational conversation is over. This conversation kept going, but it was over the moment he said there’s no such thing as absolute truth. Here’s a conversation I had on Youtube.

Atheist: Got to say your god is the biggest tyrant to ever grace the paper. You claim obediance to a imaginary friend. And then say that your sense of morals are objective? Sad, really really sad!!!
———-
Me: So, would you say Christianity is false? If so, you must believe in absolute truth. Where do you get absolute truth apart from the God of the Bible?
———-
Atheist: Yes, and I can prove your god is nonexistant. Thats he is a malicious, genocidal, jealous, infantcidal oppressive prick. Absolute truth? No such thing. What makes you think anything in the bible is true?
———-
Me: You said, “Absolute truth? No such thing.”

Are you saying it’s absolutely true that there’s no such thing as absolute truth? It’s either true or false, right? What am I missing?
———-
Atheist: You can play word games and semantics with others, it wont work here. You are a idiot for having beliefs in imaginary, superstitious nonsense. Quit throwing up red herrings. I will call you out on apologist fallacies every time.
———-
Me: You said, “…it wont work here.”

But that’s not absolutely true, is it? Nothing you say is true, because you deny truth, right?
———-
Atheist: And what ‘truth’ would that be? And yes, if you pull WLC apologetic crap here I will annihilate you and your pathetic argument. If you got some actual evidence for your ‘truth’ then go for it or otherwise you really need to stfu. 
———-
Me: Truth is that which conforms to the mind of God.

Saying there is no absolute truth is self-refuting and absurd. Every sentence you type demonstrates the folly of atheism.
———-
Atheist: Every time you use the word god shows the ‘folley’ of theism and your wilfull ignorance and wilful servitude to a imaginary deity created by men to control the masses through intimidation and fear. One more question before I go. What is the worst sin of all? Doubt. LMAO If you doubt you will burn in hell forever. Good luck with your life of fear and slavery.
———-
Me: Before you give up, I’d love to hear you take a stab at explaining how it’s true that there is no absolute truth. I’m up for a good laugh.

Evil on Display

On an unrelated issue, today I went witnessing at the bus station. There was a new security guard that I’ve never seen before. He said he was a baptist pastor, and supported what I was doing, but no soliciting is allowed. I explained that I was not soliciting–that is trying to sell things or advertise. Our right to free speech there had been cleared up with lawyers having to get involved. And that this is public property.

He said, “It’s not public property. It’s federal property.”

Which has to be the among the dumbest things to have come out of his mouth in at least a few hours. Federal property is public property (not that all federal property is open to first amendment activity, but it is all obviously public.) And to think that the city bus station is operated by the federal government is ludicrous.

He went inside to check with the other employees to make sure I was clear to be there. He came out in a few minutes and said, “You’re good, thanks for your cooperation.”

I don’t think I did anything to cooperate with him, and I’m sorry if I did.

I don’t know if stupid people are drawn to police work and security work, or if the stupid comes on when they put on a uniform and expect people to be intimidated by it or what.

Abolish The Police, Police Abuse, Theonomy

Theonomy or Autonomy

This is awesome information from a super theonomist. We as Americans have set up all these situations where it’s OK for cops or sometimes individuals to kill people. But do our laws line up with God’s law?

This is the article that was the article that was being referred to earlier in the coversation.

Here’s a couple paragraphs to whet your appetite for the beauty of God’s law.

Bojidar Marinov:

I believe that Brown was justified from the very beginning, and Biblically he would be innocent if he had killed Wilson. Wilson was the aggressor from the very beginning, and killing him was a legitimate self-defense.

When you have an aggressor with his weapon pointing at other people, killing that aggressor doesn’t incur bloodguiltiness. Not being guilty for blood when you kill someone is the same as innocent.

Skip down a few comments to the tender, beautiful, juicy meat.

Brown would have been innocent for the specific encounter with Wilson. The other case, the supposed “theft”, was not proven, and Wilson had no right to try to arrest Brown on suspicion.

The concept of “arrest on suspicion” – and the related concept of “suspect” – are anti-Biblical. There is no law in the Bible that allows any act of violence except for direct defense or self-defense (and that under severe limitations) or under court orders. By the Biblical Law, Wilson was an aggressor. His drawing his gun to shoot at a fleeing unarmed person made him an aggressor who could be killed on the spot. Brown’s charging was justified, then.

By the way, American jurisprudence – at least in theory – is much closer to the Biblical Law on this issue and – at least in theory – doesn’t allow for “executive arrest” (that is, arrest not on court’s orders), and neither does it recognize the concept of “suspect.” Both executive arrest and designating people as “suspects” is a new development, of the last 20-30 years, and is a direct violation of the very principle behind American Law. In this, modern police is fundamentally illegal, for it has appropriated prerogatives that are not given to it by law. Therefore, while not always wise, resisting cops is always legal.

Just about 50 years ago, police could arrest people only on a court warrant, or when directly involved in a crime scene. No cop could arrest anyone on suspicion only, or for “resisting arrest.” If Wilson believed Brown was the thief, he should have followed him, get his name, and then procure an arrest warrant from the court.

So, yes, Wilson had no legal right to try to arrest Brown, and Brown would have been innocent if he killed Wilson. On the other issue, stealing the cigarettes, there we should have had a trial. We never had that. So he is innocent, as far as civil courts go. Before God, it’s another matter.

And to polish off the meal with a delicious desert:

As a common usage with the police, “suspect” was a leftover from the Jim Crow period in the American South. The full term originally was “suspect race” and applied to blacks. It was not defined legally – by the American jurisprudence, there is no such thing as a “suspect”: a person is either “defendant” in court (or “perpetrator”) or “innocent” (that is, free and immune against arrest). The police in the Southern United States during the segregation period used the term “suspect race” for the same reason as it is used to day: to arrest blacks for no reason whatsoever, just to instill terror and insecurity in them and thus keep them under control. After the end of the segregation, the cops just picked up the term and continued using it anyway.

Another term that is being used in a more formal way is “person of interest.” It means the same as “suspect,” and again, it has no legal definition. It was used first against Vietnam-era war-protesters, civil rights leaders, etc. No lesser person than the Attorney General of the US John Ashcroft used the term officially and then had to apologize for it and admit that the law had no legal definition for “person of interest.” (See Hattfield vs. Ashcroft.)

In general, given that “suspect” is not a legal term, we can say that between 60 and 90% of all arrests by police in the US are illegal, and under the Biblical Law (and also under the laws of almost every state) should be classified as kidnapping. If we include every stopping of a civilian by police officers, which is not officially an arrest but practically restricts the freedom of movement of the civilian, the percentage would rise to more than 95%. We can safely say that the two major functions of modern police are extortion and kidnapping. Crime prevention is a rather insignificant side issue – and usually happens by mistake or is an unintentional result of police work.
