Land of the Free: What Are My Rights at Various “Checkpoints”?
March 15th, 2013I’ve never heard of or encountered the ‘Drug Checkpoint’ scam before! When did the filth start trying that one on? The Supreme Court has ruled that random checkpoints for the purpose of finding illegal drugs are unconstitutional. However, police sometimes put up signs warning drivers of up-coming drug checkpoints and instead pull over people who […]
This Is Anarcho-Herbalism
March 15th, 2013Via: Alchemy Works: A society of people who are responsible for their own health and able to gather or grow their own medicines is a hard society to rule. These days we are dependent on the power structure of industrial health care – the secret society of the doctors, the white-male-dominated medical schools, the corporate […]
Army Officer Invokes ‘Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines’ In Drone Paper
March 14th, 2013Via: Business Insider: Along the way Pryer writes that he wishes he believed that America would one day look back at “transnational drone strikes as a morally disastrous policy that our nation brie?y toyed with at the turn of the century, before gaining wisdom from this folly.” He believes himself to be optimistic in this […]

OTP22: Are The Dead Drops Outside the U.S. Real?
March 14th, 2013I read the recent IRC transcript of the user with alleged ties to GCHQ and thought that, while entertaining, it was the happiest bunch of horseshit I’ve come across in awhile. And that’s when it hit me: OTP22 is probably not a government recruitment operation or social engineering experiment because the dead drops are all […]
‘Lean Times at the Pentagon’: U.S. Air Force Considering Building Network of Tunnels for Mobile Doomsday Trains
March 14th, 2013The reason why I haven’t been is because it’s a trivial event, either way. Soviet America is so far gone, so dependent on insane state expenditures, that the propaganda outlets lose their mind at the prospect of any budget cuts at all. —Spending: With Sequestration and Without Sequestration And now… Via: Danger Room: The Air […]
Pope Francis: Open Thread
March 14th, 2013I’ve only spent about a minute on this so far and here are my impressions: 1) He doesn’t look much like a Sith Lord and 2) He isn’t a former Nazi. Mmkay? Is this Petrus Romanus? Will he welcome our alien overlords? The first Jesuit Pope will______ (Fill in the blank). Etc. etc.
Soylent: Man Wants to Avoid the Time Consuming and Expensive Practice of Eating Food, Develops a Sort of Pharmaceutical Grade Nutrient Slop Instead
March 14th, 2013I’m not suggesting that anyone do this, or not do it. I’m posting this mainly because it made me laugh. I had similar ideas (although not as well thought out and more poorly executed) when I was in my 20s and single. It might surprise you to see that I’m not steadfastly against something like […]
