Have the morons running Washington, DC (and the rest of the country) completely LOST THEIR MINDS? The answer, sadly, is yes. I wrote about the ridiculous acts of the Capitol Police and their need to arrest, handcuff and forcibly drag away three Lemonade Freedom Martyrs for their dastardly crime of selling lemonade for 10 cents a cup. Lemonade Freedom Day was supposed to … [Read more...]
All Hail the Lemonade Freedom Martyrs! Once again, lemonade vendors are arrested and charged, this time in Washington, DC
In a show of government thuggery at its best, Capitol Hill Police arrested people for the dastardly crime of "selling illegal lemonade" on Capitol Hill. I was particularly impressed with the one female cop who repeatedly abused anyone having the audacity to film her stupidity in live, living color. This badge-packing bitch ought to be ashamed of herself, as should every … [Read more...]
Not all morons are politicians, but is the reverse true?
It's hard not to believe politicians are morons after taking a look at a bill in the California State Legislature that proposes to make flat sheets on hotel beds illegal. No, I'm NOT making this up. I'm simply not that imaginative! Proving the maxim that politicians are completely out of touch with reality, California Senator Kevin De Leon introduced Bill Number SB 432 … [Read more...]
Oak Park Garden Nazi backs down from sending Julie Bass to prison for growing a garden
Thanks to my great friend Jane Gaffin for that awesome line... "Oak Park Garden Nazis." What else do you call the bureaucratic buffoon who threatens to send someone to prison for three months for the heinous crime of growing a vegetable garden on her own property? Julie Bass is a homeowner in Oak Park, Michigan. Her front yard was torn up by city workers when they were … [Read more...]
The War On Lemonade and the Girls Who Make it…
The war on lemonade stands is in full gear across America. The summer tradition that has gone on freely for generations is now under fire from greedy bureaucrats intent on lining their pockets... okay, not their own pockets... just that of their bureaucracies. God forbid some kids should sell lemonade without spending a few hundred dollars on permission slips, or as they … [Read more...]
Blastogram: Statistics Canada is Revenue Canada’s Watchdog
I am blessed to live in a quiet sanctum and neighbourhood that are agreeable to going about my writing and research undisturbed. One afternoon I nearly jumped out of my clothes when that serenity was suddenly shattered by an enormous pounding reminiscent of a doorbusting riot squad. I always expected when the Nazi SS came for me it would be a 5 o’clock morning surprise, not … [Read more...]
Florida Police arrest a 12-year-old for farting. Have they lost their minds?
Schools have always had their fair share of "problem children", but we used to actually be able to cope with them in a reasonable and sensible manner. Not so any more. A scan of headlines across America for just this past week showed me some bizarre and horrifying examples of how we in North America are doing our best to instill an abiding sense of fear and terror of police … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech means the freedom to criticize government without fear of being sued
Freedom of Speech means the freedom to criticize government, ALL levels of government, without fear of being sued into oblivion. Governments, of course, can't stand most criticism, and the small government of the Union Bay Improvement District (UBID) is no exception. This merry little band of morons decided that the solution to one of their ratepayers expressing her … [Read more...]
In the wake of all the unauthorized access to CPIC, you may want to find out what information the RCMP holds on you!
There have been a lot of cases of unauthorized access to the Canadian Police Information Center (CPIC) database. Yesterday I wrote about Lethbridge Police Service Constable Michael Fielding using CPIC for his own ends and his demotion for that violation, and I've previously written about RCMP Constable Todd Glasman's unauthorized use of CPIC to hand information to his Hell's … [Read more...]
Punishing the Many for the Sins of the Few…
Punishing the many for the sins of the few has become the Great Canadian Way. With each newly passed law, Canadians discover themselves guilty of a myriad of offences they never even knew existed just a generation ago. As a lawful Canadian firearm owner I first came across this notion of "the many must be punished for the sins of a few" mentality when Canada passed Bill … [Read more...]
Colorado Legislators to Voters: It’s not a tax, it’s a fee!”
Governments across North America are finding that their meal tickets are less and less willing to pay for bloated and wasteful governments. Here in Canada, the Jack Layton and his New Democratic Party can't comprehend why we mere peasants are tired of footing the tab for every expensive and stupid idea politicians come up with. He defends his trough feeding while the … [Read more...]
Post a YouTube Video, get 5 years in jail: US Govt
As ridiculous and far-fetched as it sounds, that's exactly what United States Senate Bill S-978 allows. Claiming to "amend the criminal penalty provision for criminal infringement of a copyright, and for other purposes", the text of this bill ought to scare every single American (and probably anyone who uses an American company for their web host) to death. Not to mention … [Read more...]
Blastogram: Be Aware and Beware Google
I’ve come to hate all things Google. And, though I am ashamed to admit that I was into the Google-sponsored YouTube site, I am guilty of pawing around for the May 23 release of Freedom Watch and saw the message: “patriotsnetwork.com YOUTUBE TOOK AWAY MY ABILITY TO UPLOAD FULL LENGTH VIDEOS WITHOUT NOTICE. YOU CAN WATCH IT AT PATRIOTS NETWORK ON THE FRONT PAGE.” I was … [Read more...]
TSA threatens to “shut down Texas” if they dare outlaw TSA sexual assaults
In a move that shocks even the most jaded of us, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has threatened to shut down the entire air transportation system in Texas if the Texas State Legislature passes a law making it a crime to fondle the sexual bits of air travelers. The other day I applauded Texas for daring to take a stand against the TSA's roving band of … [Read more...]
The end of per-vote subsidies is in sight… at last!
One of Jean Chretien's legacies is about to go the way of the dinosaur, and not a moment too soon, as far as I'm concerned. The only question that remains is whether the end of this ridiculous trough-feeding exercise will be instant or gradual. I've said it before and I will say it again today. If a political party's ideas, platforms, policies and beliefs are valid, they … [Read more...]
Ontario Provincial Police claim success after terrorizing man at the wrong address
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are no strangers to the finer arts of propaganda. What else do you call an official press release that claims "operational success" after launching a stun grenade into the wrong address and then holding an innocent man at gunpoint? Well, I personally would start with "incompetent". Incompetent is a good word for not being able to get … [Read more...]
Blastogram: The Art of Ignorance and Public Servants
The police and government bureaucrats have sunk into a despicable habit of laying arbitrary, unfounded accusations that allows only for ineffectual denial as a defense. It is sick that people can lose their assets--and sometimes be sentenced to prison--based solely on “he said/she said” evidence. I have warned people not to go into a government office or meeting unless … [Read more...]
Is anyone surprised that the BATF lied about ordering gun stores to sell to straw purchasers?
The BATF is arguably the most corrupt US federal agency, willing to hang anyone and everyone out to dry if it serves their internal anti-gun agenda. Is anyone really surprised that the BATF lied about ordering gun stores to sell to straw purchasers? In the wake of the shooting death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry with firearms traced to a US gun store, the … [Read more...]
The Time for Compromise is Over
Individual landowners are feeling queasy these days. They see the legal secure tenure to their privately-owned property weakening while the government arbitrarily extinguishes land titles through a constant stream of illegal and unconstitutional forfeiture and “civil remedy” laws. Additionally, people are finding public lands sealed off to commercial ventures such as … [Read more...]
Have Airport Security Morons lost all ability to reason?
Have airport Security morons across the globe lost the ability to think? Or have The Rules become more important than anything... no make that everything else? That's sure what it looks like in Britain these days. They're managing to make North American airport security morons look positively... pedestrian. Julie Lloyd is a Canadian. She was in Britain in 2009 on … [Read more...]
Big Brother Is Eyeing Complete Take-Over Of The Internet
I love the Internet and am thankful as a writer and researcher to have lived long enough to experience the freedom of this phenomenon. However, I hope to die before a body of incompetent bureaucrats and politicians destroy the Internet like they do everything their grubby, greedy mitts touch. I also love to hate the United Nations, a big waster of money that my hero, the … [Read more...]
Terrorism Law Is A War On Internet
(“War on Internet” is from Jane Gaffin’s archives, published in the Whitehorse Star, February 25, 2002, and is posted here in conjunction with the current “Big Brother is Eyeing Complete Take-Over of the Internet”.) In keeping with the Red Book election campaign promises, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and his Industry Canada minister of the day, Brian Tobin, had promised … [Read more...]
Nazi Nutritionists Are Cooking Up A Menu You Won’t Soon Forget
Maurice Strong is not a household word, yet he wields influence over your everyday life. The former senior advisor to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Anan and controller of the World Bank was once the mentor of former Canadian LIEberal prime ministers. Strong, who is still closely aligned with the world body and pulls a lot of puppet strings, has an agenda. It's … [Read more...]
G20 Summit — Excessive Force By Police? No, says SIU
Excessive Force By Police during the G20 Summit? Not according to Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU). They are, without a doubt, the most useless police oversight group in the Canada. Police smashed people with batons, broke bones, and beat people up, but the SIU could find no wrong with police actions at the G20 Summit. I'm shocked. Okay, I'm not really. I … [Read more...]
And under the heading of Moronic Bureaucrat of the Year…
Some ninny bureaucrat in Britain has decreed that having Army cadets carrying rifles and demonstrating their drill skills in this year's Remembrance Day parade would "upset" onlookers. These delicate onlookers have managed to survive the horror of watching young cadets perform their drills for decades. Why they suddenly can't handle the sight of a rifle in the hands of an … [Read more...]
Flying to the United States? Get ready for more “security measures”
You're on vacation. You've flown from from Vancouver, Toronto, or some other Canadian city to a more sunny place to spend a few weeks. You get to the airport for your return flight and discover you have one of two really crappy options, or you can't get on your flight home. You can either be subjected to a "full body scan" that is basically porno for airport security … [Read more...]
Charlie Angus wants to “fix” the gun registry with Bill C-580
Which is a frightening prospect, given how little Mr. Angus seems to understand about the firearms issue and Canadian firearms owners. Then Mr. Angus is, in reality, is simply doing what politicians ALWAYS do when facing a hostile electorate: he's trying to save face and pretend he's on "their side". Good luck Charlie. You sold out your constituents because you were PO'd … [Read more...]
UK “Gun Control” is a Myth according to this video
Over 400 guns being taken from criminals every single month? Wow... how's that possible? Britain has banned handguns, hasn't it? Oh yeah, criminals don't give a crap about gun laws, I forgot. … [Read more...]

Cleveland’s “Garbage Police” Are After You
Someone sent me this video clip from Fox News about Cleveland's new high-tech garbage and recycling cans. I was laughing until I realized the Cleveland City representative was 100% okay with fining you if you don't take your recycling to the curb when they say you should. Or that Cleveland's new "garbage police" would go through your garbage piece by piece and fine you if … [Read more...]
