The Transnational Homeland Security State and the Decline of Democracy – When Empire Hits Home, Part 4

(GlobalResearch) – As the western world is thrown into debt bondage and the harsh reality of the draconian economic ‘reforms’ to follow, a social collapse seems increasingly inevitable. We will soon witness the collapse of western ‘civilization’. The middle classes of the west will dissolve into the lower labour class.

Video: Black Rev. Calls Accusations the Tea Party is Racist an “Out-and-out Lie”

(KurtNimmo) – If you listen to Chris Matthews and MSNBC, you’d think the Tea Party movement is strictly white and teaming with racists.

The corporate media pushes this fallacy because it is the only card they have to play and because racism is such a divisive issue. If the establishment can portray the Tea Party movement as racist, they believe they can shut it down and marginalize its message.

You Can’t Vote with Your Feet without the 10th Amendment – Campaign For Liberty

The will of the people, the power of the states

Some say that you can “vote with your feet” — a phrase popularized by Ronald Reagan (most often taken out of context) in 1976 and a philosophy some attribute to Ayn Rand which was alluded to in Atlas Shrugged. Nevertheless, taken for only the meaning of the phrase in itself, it is questionable whether that philosophy exists today or if it is even plausible. Others say, “All politics are local,” a catchphrase quote from Democrat Thomas O’Neill. However catchy these phrases might be, they are hardly true if we stare realism in the face.

Big Content’s dystopian wish-list for the US gov’t: spyware, censorship, physical searches and SWAT teams

(BoingBoing) – The MPAA and RIAA have submitted their master plan for enforcing copyright to the new Office of Intellectual Property Enforcement. As the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Richard Esguerra points out, it’s a startlingly distopian work of science fiction. The entertainment industry calls for:

• spyware on your computer that detects and deletes infringing materials;
• mandatory censorware on all Internet connections to interdict transfers of infringing material;
• border searches of personal media players, laptops and thumb-drives;
• international bullying to force other countries to implement the same policies;
• and free copyright enforcement provided by Fed cops and agencies (including the Department of Homeland Security!).
