Quotes: Similarities you can’t ignore.

“With the passage of time the difference between life in the Soviet Union in the 20th century and life in the Western world today is disappearing. Today, the journalist Julian Assange is undergoing the same kind of state terror and torture as any Soviet dissident, if not worse. The Western media is as controlled as the Soviet media, with print, TV, and public radio serving as a propaganda ministry for government and the interest groups that control government. Social media, such as Facebook and Twitter are systematically denying their platforms to those who express views not supportive of the ruling order and its agendas. It has turned out to be easy to get rid of the First Amendment guarantee of free speech, as the media have neither the ability nor the intention of exercising it.”

Paul Craig Roberts

Waking the Proles

Lessons learned from the Armenians.

Crucified girls in Armenian genocide.

So much can be learned from history, but yet we learn so very little.

I encourage you to take a few minutes and read this sobering article about what happened to the Armenians when they were “disarmed.” And let examples like this be your barometer of truth whenever you’re tempted to respond emotionally to the gun control debate.

Waking the Proles

I can’t hear you over the ringing of liberty in my ears.

PASS THE CIGARS

My family has some very exciting news.

I wasn’t sure if we should share it yet, but we’re too excited to keep it a secret (and I figured a bunch of you would be excited to receive the unexpected news earlier rather than later).

So, recently we sought consent from our wise protector and nurturer, the State, to put our humble little fishing boat in a body of water.

I’m pleased to announce that today, May 15th, we found out our petition pleased the crown and we received stickers for 2018 to place over the top of last year’s “proof of permission” stickers so we can now legally put our boat in water.

And that’s not all. We also received permission to fish too. Another gracious blessing bestowed upon us by the State via our purchase of licenses.

As you can probably imagine, we’re gushing with pride right now. We are so thrilled that the State found us fit enough to grant us these rights.

So this year we’re gonna celebrate Independence Day like never before. We’re gonna party like it’s 1999.
