A Voter Revolution in Britain - Big Government Socialists on the Run



'You ain't seen nothing yet'
  • Nigel Farage announced UKIP would go after Labour Party Leader Ed Miliband in his Doncaster seat as part of a campaign to win a 'good number' of MPs in 2015.
  • The Big Government-immigrant loving so-called "Conservative" Party comes in 3rd place as UKIP kicks ass.
 

The Peasant are Revolting.

With their pitchforks in hand, the common people of Britain rose up against their Big Government, endless immigration loving Masters.  They want their nation back.

Britain’s electoral rebellions always came from the center: the Liberals in 1974, the SDP in 1981-87, the Lib Dems in 2005-2010. What we’ve never had in this country is a Right-wing, non-Tory party driving the dissent.

And, even more importantly, there has never been a Right-wing party that could command both disaffected Conservative and Labour supporters. Yet, Ukip’s result is not only impressive but also national – eating away into the working-class heartlands of the North as well as the suburbs of the South.

For the first time in its history, Britain has a serious, populist, small-c conservative alternative to the mainstream parties.

Scotland's new gay UKIP MEP




Gay Scottish UKIP MEP
Newly elected UKIP MEP favors union with the UK
and the decriminalization of drugs.  


UKIP has won its first Scottish seat in the European election, it has been confirmed, while the SNP took the largest share of the vote... UKIP - which won 27% of the votes in England - picked up 10.4% north of the border, enough to send lead candidate Mr Coburn to the European Parliament. 
Mr [David] Coburn told BBC Radio Scotland that UKIP had "done extremely well in Scotland" and was "certainly not a party of protest". 
He added: "We are basically going to give something different. It is not going to be the same arguments you get from all the tired old parties. 
He said politics was now divided into libertarians and authoritarians.  He was a libertarian. 
That included treating the issue of drugs as a health matter, rather than a judicial one. 
Criminalizing drug use, he said, had simply driven up the profits of pushers.

Warning to American Readers
.
American readers, please do not be frightened by the chart below showing many different political parties.  This is something that the rest of the world calls a free election.  Free elections have not existed in the U.S. for multiple generations.
.
The United States stands almost alone in the world where the same two corrupt Washington D.C. funded parties magically win 100% of all elections to our House of Representatives.  Other nations where the same parties win 100% of the elections are North Korea and China.
.
Unless the American people rise up and demand real election reform we are doomed to be ruled over by a corrupt, centralized and criminal oligarchy.

Judge Andrew Napolitano on the 2012 Election




Judge Napolitano on the 2012 Election, Obamacare, and The Future of Liberty


Reason Magazine's Matt Welch sat down with Andrew Napolitano at FreedomFest 2012 and discussed the ramifications of the Supreme Court's ruling on the individual mandate and whether or not there's a substantive difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney from a libertarian perspective.

Romney insults Ron Paul and Rick Santorum


The Romney controlled convention refused to read that any votes
for Rick Santorum or Ron Paul were cast.  Fox News went along with
this insult are refused to list votes cast for other candidates on their screen.


"If you're trying to win a presidential campaign and put on a show, you shouldn't poke a sharp stick in the eye of conservative activists. That's what happened."   - - - Dudley Brown, Colorado Delegate



By Gary;

Mitt Romney went out of his way to insult Ron Paul and Rick Santorum during the roll-call of states at the Republican Convention in Florida.

Paul amassed 177 delegates to this year's convention, but in an insulting and petty act, the Romney controlled Convention refused to even acknowledge that Paul votes were even being cast.  Votes cast for Romney were read from the podium, but votes cast for Paul or Rick Santorum were ignored.

What rational politician would insult a defeated rival when he needs every vote in November?

In 2008 the GOP lost states like Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire.  For example, Ron Paul got 23% of the New Hampshire vote and Santorum got 24% of the Iowa vote.

Why insult those voters?  It is the mark of small, weak, insecure and petty people.
Better Mitt than Marx.

Romney Changes the Rules

Feeling slighted, supporters of Texas Rep. Ron Paul's presidential bid chanted and booed after Republican convention delegates adopted new rules that could impede insurgent candidates in the future reports Associated Press.

The brief uproar was a rare unscripted moment in a carefully-choreographed convention that organizers hoped would showcase Republican harmony over nominee Mitt Romney. After the voice vote on the rules, the next speaker was quickly called in an attempt to limiting the amount of time Paul's supporters had to chant "Shame on you."

The rules are designed to limit the ability of insurgent presidential candidates to amass delegates to future Republican conventions. They will bind delegates to the outcome of presidential primaries and caucuses, preventing a candidate like Paul from pushing up their delegate counts at state conventions.
.
Paul delegates saw them as a power play by the Republican old guard.

"If you're trying to win a presidential campaign and put on a show, you shouldn't poke a sharp stick in the eye of conservative activists. That's what happened," said Colorado delegate Dudley Brown, who leads a gun rights organization back home.


(Editor's Disclosure  -  In the 2008 California primary I voted for Mitt Romney to try and stop McCain.  In the 2012 GOP primary I voted for Ron Paul.)

Food Police - Hand over the tuna and no one gets hurt



The Food Nazis attack a Maryland deli for daring to serve tuna packed in non-government approved oil
  • The lunatics have taken over the asylum. 
  • The great American nation is no more.


It was right there on the label of the white tuna salad, an outlawed ingredient flaunted for anyone to see:  “partially hydrogenated soybean oil.”

A government stooge "customer" filed a formal complaint with the Food Police authorities reports the Washington Post. An investigation was launched. A Montgomery County, Maryland health inspector arrived on the scene, a deli in Potomac. He reviewed the evidence and handed down his verdict: the business was daring to serve food that Big Brother did not approve of.


“Wrote them up for a labeling violation and made them aware that Montgomery County is a Trans Fat Free county,” he later wrote in his report.

This time the deli would get off with a warning.  But the Food Nazis will keep coming back and back until all bow to the will of the State.

The banning of trans fat was among a series of controversial county laws passed in recent years, creating vigorous fights over the reach and role of government and testing the boundaries between personal liberties and those who want to tell you how to live your life.

Liberty lost the battle.  Welcome to the Big Brother Nanny State.

INSANITY - A dog hair cutting license


Naturally this is a California dog


Insane Big Government  -  Soon you will not even be able to cut dog hair without the permission of the Government
  • Moronic Democrat bill wants to "protect" pets from untrained groomers.
  • "The pets really are the silent victims," says the insane Democrat author of the bill.



The crazy Leftist People's Republic of California is a gift that just keeps giving.
.
California already forces people to get Government Licenses for the right to work as furniture upholsterers, private investigators and recreation guides.  Now it wants to regulate pet groomers.
.
The People's Republic leads the country in the number of professions requiring a license.  In this Leftist state you are not allowed to go to work with permission from the government.
Insane Leftist State Senator Juan Vargas (D-San Diego), author of the proposed legislation, wants to provide pet owners "peace of mind" by creating a certification program. Groomers would have to complete about 900 hours of training to cut dog hair. 

But best of all you pay an as-yet unspecified fee to be certified by the state.
.
Vargas says the measure, known as SB 969, is intended to protect pets from untrained groomers.

"I want the government out of my salon," said Johnny Ray, co-owner of the Dog House in North Hollywood. "It's just a money grab."


VIDEO  -  Should you need the permission of the government to work?



Insane bi-partisan Big Government licensing has mushroomed over the years to include all manner of trades in both Democrat and Republican states.
  • In Louisiana, florists must pass a test to earn a license to sell a fucking flower.
  • Fortune tellers in Annapolis, Md., need to be licensed to tell the future (Did they see that one coming?).
  •  In Mississippi, hair braiders need to be registered with that state's health department.  Never mind that humans have been doing un-regulated hair care for 50,000 years.
California has about 177 occupations requiring a license, the most of any state, according to the most recent comprehensive count by the Reason Foundation, a libertarian-leaning think tank.  The national average is 92, said Adam Summers, a senior policy analyst with the organization.




Summers, who has studied the rise in occupational licensing, says this type of professional regulation stifles competition, drives up prices and is particularly burdensome to low-income entrepreneurs trying to earn a living in service trades.

In the late 1990s, a group of African American hair-care specialists successfully sued to overturn California cosmetology laws requiring them to undergo 1,600 hours of training and pass an exam to braid hair.

A hair braider in Republican Utah is currently is waging a similar fight against that state's Big Government cosmetology board.

"Mandatory licensing tends to impose arbitrary standards," Summers said. "It's a monopolist system that doesn't necessarily improve quality of services and increases the cost of business."

(Los Angeles Times)


Republican Louisiana is also guilty.
In so-called "Conservative" Louisiana, you need to study and pass a Big Government approved test and then get a government license for the right to earn a living selling flowers.

The Fight for Internet Freedom


Senator Rand Paul and Congressman Ron Paul
The Pauls have joined together to protect your Internet Freedom while almost every politician from both parties lines up to control the Internet for your "protection".


Protect the Bill of Rights  -  The Pauls are now campaigning for Internet freedom of speech and the press.
  • Watch as every politician from both parties runs for the hills rather than stand up for the Constitution.



Ron and Rand Paul are moving into the cause of Internet Freedom.  There is nothing more important than freedom of speech and the press.  But as usual the political establishments of the world will do everything possible to crush a free Internet. 

The Pauls have their work cut out for them.

Kentucky senator Rand and his father Ron Paul will throw their weight behind a new online manifesto released by the Paul-founded Campaign for Liberty. The new push will in some ways displace what has been their movement's long-running top priority, shutting down the Federal Reserve Bank.

The move is an attempt to stake a libertarian claim to a central public issue of the next decade, and to move from the esoteric terrain of high finance to the everyday world of cable modems and Facebook.

Events prove that neither party has any real interest in freedom or the Bill of Rights.  For example, only Senator Jim DeMint joined Senator Rand Paul to sponsor a bill to require a search warrant when government drones spy on you.   See our article:  THE FEDERALIST - "Senate ignores Rand Paul's bill requiring search warrants."


Video  -  The Perfect Storm of Internet Censorship

The governments of Britain, Israel, the US, Japan, India and China have reported alleged cyber attacks by foreign militaries, hackers, and malicious software like Duqu, a virus similar to the Stuxnet cyber weapon constructed by Israel and the US for use against Iran's nuclear program. Although the nature and origin of the attacks or even whether they took place at all cannot be independently confirmed, the supposed threats are being used to propose punishing new legislation aimed at stifling internet freedoms and are igniting new rivalries in what many see as the battlefield of the 21st century: cyberspace.




The Paul manifesto is titled "The Technology Revolution" and lays out an argument for keeping the government entirely out of regulating anything online, and for leaving the private sector to shape the new online space.

"The revolution is occurring around the world," it reads. "It is occurring in the private sector, not the public sector. It is occurring despite wrongheaded attempts by governments to micromanage markets through disastrous industrial policy. And it is driven by the Internet, the single greatest catalyst in history for individual liberty and free markets."

The manifesto quotes Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises and attacks not just the federal government, but also progressive groups that have called for similar measures to keep the Internet largely unregulated: "Today, the road to tyranny is being paved by a collectivist-Industrial complex -- a dangerous brew of wealthy, international NGO's, progressive do-gooders, corporate cronies and sympathetic political elites."     (Buzzfeed.com)

Texas Students Hack Government Spy Drone


"Parsons was Winston's fellow employee at the Ministry of Truth. He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms-one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the thought police, the stability of the Party depended."
.
George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 2


1984  -  If students can hack a drone what about a real enemy?
  • Both political parties are in a mad rush to put 30,000 Big Brother military drones in the air over the United States.
  • Republicans and Democrats ignore the Bill of Rights in order to created a "safe" nation under the watchful eyes of the Washington Elite.



There are a lot of cool things you can do with $1,000, but scientists at an Austin, Texas college have come across one that is often overlooked: for less than a grand, how’d you like to hijack a US government drone?

A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government. With just around $1,000 in parts, Humphreys’ team took control of an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by the US Department of Homeland Security reports RT News.


Constitutional Federalist Senator Rand Paul:   Paul wants military drones to need search warrants, but politicians of both parties refuse to back his bill.



After being challenged by his lab, the DHS dared Humphreys’ crew to hack into their drone and take command. Much to their chagrin, they did exactly that.

Humphrey tells Fox News that for a few hundreds dollar his team was able to “spoof” the GPS system on board the DHS drone, a technique that involves mimicking the actual signals sent to the global positioning device and then eventually tricking the target into following a new set of commands. And, for just $1,000, Humphreys says the spoofer his team assembled was the most advanced one ever built.

“Spoofing a GPS receiver on a UAV is just another way of hijacking a plane,” Humphreys tells Fox. The real danger here, however, is that the government is currently considering plans that will allow local law enforcement agencies and other organizations from coast-to-coast to control drones of their own in America’s airspace.

“In five or ten years you have 30,000 drones in the airspace,” he tells Fox News. “Each one of these could be a potential missile used against us.”     (RT News USA)


The Big Brother Insect Spy Drone.
.
Researchers have already developed drones with parts mimicking bug eyes, bat ears and sensitive “bee-like” hairs. The technology is being developed to serve as undetectable surveillance tools.
.
These miniature drones, known as micro air vehicles (MAVs) have been in development in recent years and some have already been shown to the public. They’ll have the ability to record, photograph and in some cases, attack. The drones are said to still be in development, however they still face some issues. The scientists and engineers still need to work out limits such as maneuverability and navigation in certain environmental conditions.
.
With the ability to go places military personnel cannot all while being virtually undetected, researchers are aiming for serious advancement in intelligence collection.   (Techyville.com)

Police help Drug Cartels execute victims


Mexican Police Filmed Helping Drug Cartels Kill.
Led away: The men can be seen being marched towards a marked police pickup in this camera image.



The Insane War on Drugs  -  Corrupted by drug money Mexican police are on film rounding up victims for the Cartels to execute.
  • Big Government continues to build a centralized Police State to "protect" us from the very criminal gangs that their policies created.  



Five heavily armed police officers have been caught on camera barging into a hotel in western Mexico before dawn and marching out with three handcuffed men in underwear.
.
The footage may seem unremarkable at a glance, but the officers weren't making arrests.  Prosecutors say they were taking orders from criminals - just hours after the three were seized, they were found asphyxiated and beaten to death reports the UK Daily Mail.




While the kidnapping and murder occurred in January, and the faces of several officers were clearly seen on the videos, the officers were not detained until June 6, when soldiers and state police raided a local police station.

They still have not been formally charged with any crime.

'It took time to obtain the video tapes, to do the investigation, and to get the arrest warrants,' said Jalisco state prosecutor's spokesman Lino Gonzalez.

'We didn't have the information.'

In any case, the release of the dramatic images comes less than three weeks before national and state elections in which security is a major issue.     (UK Daily Mail)

Demand: Mexican police officers trot into the hotel and present a list at the reception desk, apparently asking what rooms the men are staying in.


An Easy End To Drug Violence.
Drug violence and gangs could be ended overnight by allowing people to buy their drugs by prescription through a pharmacy.  But Big Government cannot build power when prohibition is ended.  So people must be kept in fear.
