The FBI Is the KGB

Breaking: FBI Arrests Retired Green Beret Jeremy Brown for Attending Jan. 6 Protests and Standing Outside Capitol — AFTER HE REFUSED TO BE THEIR INFORMANT!

If the FBI, DHS, ATF or other federal police agencies knock on your door for a "friendly" visit seeking information/cooperation and you refuse to give it to them, you may be assured that they will return with a tactical team to take that information and haul you off to jail. Are you prepared for such an eventuality?

Meanwhile, In Maryland...

...family members call on police to execute grandpa, who had become a bit of a nuisance.

Now that Grandpa is taken care of, we can divvy his stuff up, and we don't have to go broke putting him in a nursing home a few years from now.

Oh, you don't think there's potential for abuse in "red flag" gun confiscation orders? Just fell off the turnip truck, did you?

Connecticut Gun Control Update

Not only are most of the gun owners in Connecticut refusing to register their "assault weapons" in response to a new law passed in Connecticut last year, but now 250 Connecticut law enforcement officers are signalling their refusal to enforce the law via an open letter to the CT legislature.

Interesting times we're living in.

Update: On the other hand, some cops are putting an extra coat of polish on the ol' jackboots.

Update 2: The open letter purporting to be from 250 CT law enforcement officers has been found to be a hoax.

New York Judge Declines To Treat Law-Abiding Citizen As Felon

When You Don't Trust "Your" Marines...

...you might be a tyrant.*

“Didn't know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. “Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!”

The email linked to a YouTube video of the 57th Presidential Inaugural Parade, embedded in this column, featuring Bravo Company Marines from the Marine Barracks Washington. Sure enough, the observation in the email is confirmed by watching the video, with screen shots provided in the photo and slide show accompanying this article.

This prompted an internet search to see if others had also noticed, and the Blur-Brain blog had.

“The bolts have been removed from the rifles rendering them unable to fire a round,” the post stated. “Apparently Obama’s Secret Service doesn’t trust the USMC. Simply searching each guy to make sure he didn’t have a live round hidden on him wasn’t enough, they had to make sure the guns were inoperable.

A Little Further Down the Road To Tyranny, But Not By Much

UK Labour Party: Let's just ban those Frosted Flakes!

A consultation paper identifies a number of breakfast cereals containing more than 30 per cent sugar according to research by Which?, including Kellogg's Frosties, with 37.0g of sugar per 100g and Tesco Choco Snaps with 36.1g per 100g.

The latest research by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), shows that in the UK, 26.6 per cent of girls and 22.7 per cent of boys are now considered 'obese'.

Meanwhile, the National Child Measurement Programme last month reported that one-third of children in England are either overweight or obese by the time they leave primary school. Overweight children are at a greater risk of developing diabetes and cancer.

Mr Burnham said: 'The findings of the OECD should shock us out of our complacency. It is clear that the current voluntary approach is not working. We need to open our minds to new approaches in tackling child obesity.

And the US can't really gloat on this issue, because we're only a step or two behind UK, what with New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Big Gulp bans.

Call this "small-T" tyranny, or the nibbled to death by ducks strategy of tyranny. The end result is the same: loss of freedom, but by gradual erosion rather than blunt-force theft of it.

No More Lip Service...

...to the Second Amendment.

The governor of the state of New York is talking confiscation:

During the course of the interview, Gov. Cuomo didn’t outline any specific gun control measures, but he did say the following: “Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it.”

Well, Threepers, looks like it's time to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. The tyrant has shown his ugly face.

Feds Threaten To Arrest Musicians In Concert?

Because their guitars might be made with "illegal" wood?

Keith Richards has the proper response to that:



Seriously, folks, it's about time that Second Amendment solutions were applied to government over-reach. Amy Alkon reports on another example, arrest of people who produce and drink raw milk, here.

TSA: Folks See Where This Is Leading

We're just waiting for an Al Qaeda orifice bomber to make an attempt on a US flight to reach the ultimate security checkpoint indignity: the cavity search.

All right, people, line up, bend over and spread 'em.

Tyranny In Uzbekistan

Low-income women sterilized against their will.

In Disarmed UK...

...police are entering unsecured homes without warrant, collecting valuables and placing them in a "swag bag" where the homeowner can find them, all as an object lesson in burglary prevention.

You object? What are you going to do about it, Disarmed Englishman? What if those police had found some of that contraband in your home, that substance you snort up your nose, those pictures hidden on your computer hard drive? What if they had less noble intentions, and planted such contraband in your home?

So, go ahead and complain to your Member of Parliament; and what if he agrees with the police, Disarmed Englishman? You gave up your right to arms, traded your freedom for a little security (as you thought) and now can't even take up arms to prevent the tyranny of the jackboot that enters your home.

Ryanair, which is Europe's largest budget airline, might begin charging passengers to use the onboard toilet.
