I was scrolling around YouTube and came across this video of a young woman who came in contact with an off duty minion of the state. We no longer have public servants. We have enforcers. This comment from Reason.com fairly illustrates the attitude people have or are developing towards the enforcers. You don’t understand. Being…

I submit that the mayor of New York cannot govern the city without the support of the police. I’d call it a police state.

In the wake of the murder of two police enforcers in New York the NY police union advises: …a union-generated message at the 35,000-officer NYPD warned officers that they should respond to every radio call with two cars — “no matter what the opinion of the patrol supervisor” — and not make arrests “unless absolutely…

Killing of NYPD officers: Retaliation for Michael Brown, Eric Garner? Or maybe it is revenge for the depredations of Prohibition. Rand Paul: Drug war targets minorities End Prohibition you Fools. And a little history lesson: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of…

Some commentary: Woman falsely accuses man of rape, and man captures it on video Rape is the new black I got the video from: INSANITY: Woman falsely accuses man of rape – but he records it all on video! And this comment was what got me started, Good one on campus rape courts: Kangaroo Campus…

The moral dilemma is mentioned at about 20:45 in. What to do when stopped by the police is at 28:35 in. Here is the article mentioned in the video Green Handcuffs.

Back in July I posted a video about Police gone wild, This Is What Happens, with a link to police burning a baby in a botched drug raid. I also did a post about the raid in May They Burn Babies Don’t They?. It has finally hit the national news. Family of Toddler Injured by…

As you may have heard by now Nebraska and Oklahoma are challenging Colorado’s cannabis legalization law. Kevin Sabet who has been designated to hold back legalization (as far as I can tell) had this to say: Kevin Sabet, co-founder of anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana, backed the legal action, saying while states should be…

A little while ago Eric did a post Just say NO to another Bush!, discussing how Jeb Bush is a total Drug Warrior. I commented It is worse than that Eric. The Republicans are not even installed in Congress and they are starting already: The Republicans Are Attempting Suicide The new Congress isn’t even installed…

Some of you may remember my post A thermodynamic explanation of politics. In it I looked at why we have two competing political strategies and how they are complimentary. They are for different ecological niches. I just came across an article that looks at the same question from an evolutionary perspective. r/K Selection Theory. Biologists…

I was having a discussion over at The Rational Male and a commenter there asked me to do a piece on Cultural Marxism. I’m going to make this easy on myself by mainly posting links to other places that have articles of interest, and repeating some of my comments from the Rational Male. But first…

In New York State where medical cannabis is nominally legal, eight year old Donella Nocera of Niagra Falls died while awaiting access to medical cannabis. Statement by Nate Nocera, father of Donella: “More than five months after Governor Cuomo signed a bill into law that was meant to bring vital treatment to our family, my…

Cannabis may not be a schedule one drug (no medical use) much longer. There is a hearing going on in California to decide if the Schedule Cannabis is in is Constitutional. The text of Schedule I – which is, after all, what this hearing is all about – lays out a 3-part test; a drug…

Yeah. The title of this post is kinda cryptic. So what is 2-AG? It is an endocannabinoid found in the human body (redundant – but not everyone knows “endo”). There is a recent paper that says increasing the amount of 2-AG in the body is likely to reduce cannabis addiction. I’m not going to annoy…

From We Are Exemt From Your Morality. Knock, knock, knock on your front door (should we decide to give you the courtesy of a knock), then we break down the door and come in like a sudden flood, using lethal force on anyone who resists, often killing the family pet should he dare to bark…

With subtitles. Cannabis cures cancer. Cancer kills 586,000 Americans every year. Every Prohibitionist is complicit in mass murder. Pass it on. Also see Not Bad In The Original German Either.

Fear is often touted as the ultimate political tool. “Fear will keep the star systems in line.” Yes it will. Up to a point. But control through fear brings resistance. And it is expensive. You need armies of enforcers. What works better is hate. That gains enthusiastic cooperation. Much cheaper. Who IS Emmanuel Goldstein? Ever…
