The first and chief design of every system of government is to maintain justice: to prevent the members of society from incroaching on one another's property, or seizing what is not their own. The design here is to give each one the secure and peacable possession of his own property.
- Adam Smith
Utilizing property greatly advances a person's opportunity to investment their time, intellect, labor and money. Coupled with limitless and competitive exchanges of ideas and products, these investments propel commerce, science, art and charity. Civilization advances.The USA: How Government Confiscates Private Property
People seeking freedom throughout the world are horrified by the government of Cyprus stealing money from personal bank accounts. [Read: Cyprus! Government Spending, Debt and Government Confiscation of Private Property] Equally horrific is the European Union's approval of the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund's compliciy. Knowledgeable investors know that these government edicts – the coerced seizure of bank accounts - violates a cardinal element of freedom. Over 200 years ago, Adam Smith stated:
The first and chief design of every system of government is to maintain justice: to prevent the members of society from incroaching on one another's property, or seizing what is not their own.
Raiding bank accounts in Cyprus has caused devastating financial and social degradation. Europe will suffer because investors in Europe and the rest of the world fear additional raids will continue on personal property. [Read: Stealing Private Property: Cyprus and the EU]
Now, take a look at how a sophisticated country devalues private property. Presently, the USA is raiding everyone's bank account. Richard Rahn in the Washington Times explains that the Federal Reserve has expanded our money supply, which keeps our interest rate very low – approximately 1%. However, inflation is approximately 2 to 3%. Presto; if you had money in a savings account your purchasing power is 1 or 2% less.
Do you want evidence? Has your grocery bill gone up? Yep. Case closed. This is a deliberate manipulation by government, which reduces the wealth of its citizens. Again, a cardinal element fostering freedom is for government to protect people and their private property.
Additionally, tax on earned-interest seizes your wealth. Remember, your savings account is earning 1%. However, you must pay tax on the interest you receive. Think it through. You are paying tax on the piddly amount of interest you earned, and our 2 or 3% inflation has diminished your purchasing power – your wealth. Thus, you are paying tax on an savings account that's losing real value.
Now, let's examine a bigger theft by our government – Social Security. Our government taxes workers 12.4% (employee and employer each pay 6.2%). Every American should realize, government cannot honor its implicitly promised benefits. Politicians are already talking of mean-testing (thus, excluding people that saved for their retirement), changing our cost of living calculations and extending our retirement age. Again, our Federal government is taking property – 12.4% tax – and arbitrarily decreeing who and how much a worker will receive in benefits.
With the approval of the European Union, Cyprus overtly raided personal bank accounts. The United States, on the other hand, is stealthly depleting worker's savings and promised retirement benefits, e.g., Social Security. Even worse, Americans saving their money, above and beyond Social Security, now know President Obama seeks to limit personal savings to $3million. This is not protecting private property. It's just the opposite; this is regulating and confiscating private property.
In the late 1700's, Adm Smith recognized that the secure and peacable possession of property enhanced a person's opportunity to investment their time, intellect, labor and money. Fortunately for America, the importance of private property was known to the Founders of America. James Madison wrote:
Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.
John Adams wrote:
The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If "Thou shalt not covet," and "Thou shalt not steal," were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society, before it can be civilized or made free.
The governments of the United States and Europe have dangerously ignored and abused a crucial element of freedom – private property. Our governments must again respect and protect private property. It is absolutely essential for peace and prosperity.
Confused by the Adam Smith lead quote:
"The first and chief design of every system of government is to maintain justice: to prevent the members of society from incroaching on one another's property, or seizing what is not their own. The design here is to give each one the secure and peacable possession of his own property."
I understand, but this is a story about the government taking money; this is actually about government being the maintainer of justice *between the members of society*. This quote is not at all about government theft of private property. Bad quote.
Also, taxation isn't theft. It's taxation. Grab a dictionary and talk it over with a friend.
And I can't find where you got your inflation numbers. Everywhere I look it seems to be pretty, pretty low (I mean, like 1.xx%). Where'd those come from?
Also, this route to theft seems pretty tame, and tortured. Better ways to do it.
I mean.
Some guy mugged me once.
Actually, ok, inflation seems to be around 2%-ish depending on what numbers you are looking at. But really, just looking at a graph going back 13 years--I mean, this doesn't look bad at all. Seems normal enough. I can't quite understand if you are just describing a fact or whether this is something that is actually a "stealing of your money." (I assume this is how it has worked for a long time, right?) Would love a clarification.
Keep in mind that private property started with the use of force (e.g., enclosures of commons), followed by legitimizing that ownership.
The Officious Union-Postal Inspector:
Lady wearing a really cool hat and scarf walked up to me and said "You have to leave the premises. You can go down to the sidewalk with your sign.".
Responded: "Who are you?"
Very reluctant to answer me. I didn't move off....
United States Postal Inspector Employee informed me that my "There is No Tax free Holiday" sign and I were to leave and go down to the sidewalk.
When I asked "Isn't this public property?" "The Postal Inspector, of the mail worker's union, said "No". Then the taxpayer's didn't build this building? .. The Postal inspector kind-of paused..a bit - "Yes"; but...
.. Not to be outdone, repeated : "Leave. Go down to the sidewalk." She kind of walked off, putting her head down toward her stomach... and I said "I'll be sure to let everyone know.".
Sign: "$148,170 EACH-ONE-TAXPAYING CITIZEN
There is No Tax free Holiday"
at an increase of $33,037.00 PER-TAXPAYING-CITIZEN / YEAR: 2015, if our Nation survive's catastrophe of lawlessness, will increase to $214,281.00 PER-TAXPAYING-CITIZEN
I was the first, among the Teapartier's to arrive, there at the Post office. My Sign States: The National Debt is $148,170 EACH-ONE-TAXPAYING CITIZEN; and on just thinking about the money confiscated, because there is no accountability or "Religion and Morality" in how EACH-ONE-CITIZEN'S 2000 HOURS of work (that's assuming you get a 10 day vacation, which many of you don't, especially if you, government's-"heaven, --oops no heaven --, Boolean-group-think-homo sapiens, forbid", are in business for yourself) for your property in Life and Liberty and pursuit- earnings.
Citizen's and non-citizens doing business here, paying taxes but not sure if they want to become citizens, You must pay attention to this Debt. You must connect that the money borrowed, and utilized over the Past Three Years of Obama Refusing to Sign a Budget resulting in indiscriminate spending as "continuation costs for 94,505 (29,941 Executive Branch) Federal level Agencies, from China, our friends in "Trust" among other nations, and money given to our, worldwide-, and US enemies, comes from EACH-ONE-PERSON-OF-YOUR 2000 HOURS OF WORK-- our property. Think about it...........[cursor flashing]...
Who do you think you are working for? Yourself? Your family?..... "Consent of the governed" to secure the "Separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature of Nature's God entitle them.....UNALIENABLE because of God's Presence and Laws... Is Not The Answer.... Neither is "Consent of the Governed" with Articles II, V, VI - Oath of Office......
We the People, Person, corporate Persons composed of individual persons, work for ALL NATIONS ON GOD'S PLANET, Laws of Men– absent God -, 2000 hours each year -- either directly in China, Saudi Arabia - Iran - Iraq -- or indirectly through the United Nation's of "We Have the affirmed right to force of "Opinion without interference" based on the "Preconceived conclusions" of Agenda 21 oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen -- the elements in the Periodic Chart of all Life which has anatomy, physiology, neurology -- all Life in the Global Warming of lowering the oceans and healing the planet, borderless nations and jurisprudence -- health / "Patient Protection and Affordable care Act" -- occupation; and all elements in the Periodic Chart of Inanimate Objects.
James Madison wrote about property -- especially property of "In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights. "He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them.". But of course, his and the other Founders were writing "precedent-analogies" ... not about "Religion and Morality" of "Let is simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?" President Washington; or "On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed." President Jefferson; and my personal favorite ordinary freemen and individuals, 6 yrs. Before the Declaration and 3 before the Teaparty regarding quartering troops in private homes: [local police in "Obama Regime language] "..among Citizens in a Time of Peace; and under the Pretense of supporting the Laws and aiding Civil Authority, every considerate and unprejudic'd person was deeply impressed with the apprehension of the consequences ...under such a pretext, but in Reality to enforce oppressive Measures to awe and control.... and to quell the Spirit of Liberty, which however it may have been basely oppos'd and even redicul'd by some, would do Honor to any Age and Country...(5W's and H of how 4 18 to 20 yr. old young men were murdered by the Sargent and troopers of the British)".
And, please, Americans of God and Nation First, notice: TAXPAYERS ARE PERSON - SINGULAR -- ONE AT A TIME; so, "Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No MAN [SINGULAR] is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.
Which is a True statement, isn't it! How do you measure your ability to makes your life's choices in the "Soros-Obama-Atheist-Secular-Sharia-collective people as a mass of bodies with enough anatomy, physiology, and neurology..to fill-in dots in prescribed preconceived conclusions of opinion without interference, utilizing "Obama-Lucifer-Alinsky underground" to EXTERMINATE your Person of Soul before Your God, or not-- but with Morality in any case, or push buttons in the government of, by, and for government's arrangement of polling places for the 14th Amendment to take place with the "great-god-number" ruling over reason, knowledge, wisdom, justice in Truth of God's Laws....THE ONLY NATION IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND to make the Lord God and His son Jesus with the Founding Father's in the "Deeds" of our history from 1620 religious freedom of Puritans on the Mayflower....to this current Apostasy of the "governments of by for government...force...subjugation...despotism...treason, i.e. overthrowing the Republic completely absent Articles IV:4 including invasion: "An attack on the rights of another; infringement or violation", V, VI which includes the supreme Law of the Land, as well as Singular-Elected Person's person Oath to God regarding his obedience to preserving, protecting, and supporting the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God for Each One Person's separate and equal – Soul. Remember Person, Scripture and The Laws of Both Founding Documents, is composed of a Body and a Soul. When the Body dies, the person dies....Not the Soul...in Christian and Jewish beliefs.
But in our "Obama Anti-Law Regime", the 'singular', purpose of law...is to control the production and distribution of rights, against Person and Corporate Persons, in favor of "collective-mass-Boolean-group-think-subjugation, i.e. The People designed, investigated, and adjudicated, absent God's Laws, in the name of government of, by, for government's perceived majority number of despotism – absent reason, knowledge, wisdom, justice in Truth of Both Founding Documents .
On the Social Security -- remember the Entire Congress both parties, except the Conservatives and Teapartiers among the Republicans, consider Social Secuirty an "Entitlement" that's how they get to the 44% who get money from the government. Thus utilizing the "preconceived conclusions" of "UN - MIS Gnenva"s Declaration of Principles #4 the affirmed right to "opinion without interference" -- or absent knowledge, wisdom, in Truth...of the Laws of Both Founding Documents.

Brevard County Solar Heating
How Many Miles Per Gallon Does Your Water Heater Get?
Did you know that your electric water heater can use as much energy as an automobile? A car that gets 22 miles per gallon and travels 12,000 miles in a year consumes approximately 11.4 barrels of oil. A family of four would use the same amount of energy every year, by heating their water with an electric water heater. In other words, installing a solar water heating system for your home provides the same environmental and energy savings benefits as taking an average car off the road.
I began installing solar water heating systems here in Brevard and Indian River counties back in the 1970's. The one thing I have learned about solar in all those years, is solar water heating is the best that solar has to offer. It is the biggest bang for the buck and best of all, affordable for everyone. In my opinion, we could solve much of the energy crisis and pollution problems, by simply mandating solar water heating. These systems will reduce your power consumption by about 30% and pay for themselves within just a few years. And all of those thousands of solar water heating systems I have installed over the past 35 years...over 93% are still in operation. These systems have paid for themselves 10 times over and prevented hundreds of millions of pounds of pollution from entering our atmosphere.
The news gets better. The federal government is now offering a 26% tax credit based on the complete purchase price of a solar water heating system. This program is available for a limited time only. There has never been a better time to go solar!
Think about solar water heating this way...More hot water than you have ever had, 30% lower electric bills, environmentally friendly and a nice annual return on your investment. Why wouldn't you want one?
Excel Solar offers the highest quality solar water heating systems available..because we design them ourselves. No "packages" from our wholesalers with inferior products. We choose only the best, longest lasting components to create the ultimate solar water heating system. Our solar panels and water heaters are made in the USA. After all, we have systems over 30 years old that are still working properly and still saving their owners money...and that's what it's all about. All of our systems qualify for the tax credits and rebates...and our prices won't be beat! Maybe it's time for you to give us a call for a FREE solar analysis of your home.

As I logged onto my computer during prep and watched my homepage load, I saw that the scores for the first NCAA games were front and center on the page. How did I forget that the first games tipped off at 12:30pm?! And then I actually read the scores. "Memphis is losing?!"
I watched the scores through the rest of prep and when the period ended there were still 3 minutes left in the game.
As prep ended, I walked into my classroom. I announced that if my students wanted to know how the games were shaping up, they needed to quiet down and start packing up. Almost immediately, my children were as quiet as mice, looking at me expectantly. As I read off the scores, there were sporadic cheers and groans. Until I got to the Memphis game. When I read out the score, one of my quietest students turned white as a ghost and yelled, "WHAT?! I have them going all the way!".
There was a moment of silence, and then my entire class burst out laughing. As the first buses were called, we reloaded the scores on the computer over and over. As the class and I bonded over our love of the game, I couldn't help but laugh at their enthusiasm. There were my boys, enthusiastically cheering for different teams. And my remaining girls, who have no interest in basketball, were throwing in sporadic comments. When the game switched to Purdue, one of my girls immediately yelled out, "Purdue! That's a kind of chicken! I loooove chicken!". I immediately dissolved into hysterics as one of her male classmates slowly turned to her, with a serious face, and said, "I do not understand girls."

Few things in life are as much pure fun as a dirtbike, as long as it's the right-sized dirtbike. That's why Honda builds so many differently sized models, and one of our best is the CRF125F. The next size up from our CRF110F, it's the perfect choice for both young riders and smaller adults. Loaded with features designed to make trail riding a relaxing, no-hassle experience, it's also pure Honda when it comes to reliability and durability.
That means you get to concentrate on having a good time rather than trailside repairs or a bike that was designed by cutting corners. And when it comes to looks, the CRF125F takes its styling cues right from our full-on motocross bikes like our CRF450R and CRF250R. An electric starter makes it easy to get underway, while a four-speed transmission gives you all the control of a full-sized bike.

Spyderco byte - Brouwer Folder
vonam 04.09.18 um 07:33 (29977 Hits)
Spydercos new Brouwer Folder is a performance-oriented everyday-carry cutting tool designed by Dutch custom knifemaker Jerry Brouwer. Its refined design reflects both his extensive real-world experience as a knife user and his uncompromising commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Brouwers lifelong passion for knives began as a child. He was a frequent visitor to his local knife shop, where he spent countless hours carefully examining the fit, finish, and function of every knife he handled. Years later, he pursued a career as a corrections officer and served as a member of an elite riot team that quelled uprisings in prisons throughout the Netherlands. He is also an accomplished practitioner of the Russian martial art of Systema and an avid outdoorsman. These experiences gave him ample opportunity to use knives in many different contexts and helped him develop a deep understanding of what works and what doesnt when it comes to knife design.
In 2008, after reading a book on knifemaking written by a fellow Dutchman, Brouwer tried his hand at making his first knife. Encouraged by the result, but anxious to improve his skills, he soon turned knifemaking into a serious hobby. Fascinated by the elegant simplicity of traditional Japanese patterns, many of Brouwers knives are expressions of kiridashi and kaiken-style blades, some with classic stingray cord-wrapped handles. He has also made many modern interpretations of the Finnish puukko and enjoys crafting both friction and frame-lock folding knives.
One of Brouwers most popular folding knife designs is his Flanker model, which he developed around 2013. Shortly after designing it, he attended a Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam with a friend of his. While chatting with Spydercos Eric Glesser, Brouwers friend asked to see the knife, which he quickly handed to Eric and encouraged him to give it a look. Eric was impressed with the refined functionality of the knife and Brouwers down-to-earth approach to knifemaking. In fact, he was impressed enough to ask Brouwer if he could borrow the knife to display it with other concept models and prototypes at trade shows. Brouwer agreed and the rest, as they say, is history. The Spyderco Brouwer was born.
According to Brouwer, he designed his namesake knife from the ground up as a serious, everyday-carry cutting tool. Specifically, he wanted it to achieve the perfect balance of a knife that is small enough to carry conveniently, yet substantial enough for challenging cutting chores.
The heart of the Brouwer Folder is its PlainEdge blade, which is crafted from CPM® S30V® particle metallurgy stainless steel and full-flat ground for superior edge geometry and low-friction cutting performance. Its drop-point profile offers outstanding utility, while the combined synergy of an index-finger choil and textured thumb ramp allow precise control when used with a choked-up grip. Spydercos Trademark Round Hole is positioned closer to the blades centerline to allow a straight spine, while still ensuring easy one-handed opening.
The Brouwers slim, ergonomic handle features a matte-finished solid titanium scale and Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) on one side and a textured green G-10 scale and nested, skeletonized stainless steel liner on the other. To provide a solid lock-up and long service life, the R.I.L. includes a stainless steel interface that also serves as an overtravel stop to preserve proper spring tension of the lock bar. A reversible stainless steel hourglass clip mounted to the butt end of the handle keeps the knife ready for instant access and offers a choice of left or right-side tip-up carry. It is complemented by a lined lanyard hole that allows the easy attachment of fobs and safety lanyards.
An extremely functional everyday-carry cutting tool, the Brouwer proudly satisfies all the design goals of its creator. We are equally proud to offer it in the Spyderco product line.
P.S. We were very saddened to learn that Jerry Brouwer has been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and that his future activities as a custom knifemaker will be hampered by the effects of that illness. We sincerely hope that our expression of his innovative design will allow his skills to be appreciated by a wider audience. Please join us in sending thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

Osama bin Laden has received a makeover from the Photoshoppers at the US State Department, punishing him with the only sure justice he can't escape: age.
The elusive mastermind of the September 11, 2001 highjackings and subsequent airliner attacks in the US and the August 7, 1998 bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya remains on the lam, with conventional wisdom that he's hiding out in that backwater of barren boondocks, Pakistan's South Waziristan.
Despite the lack of decent amenities in that rocky rural region, the US State Department would still like to pay Osama - or, as State calls him, Usama - a visit. And so they've updated the image on his personal page on their Rewards for Justice website to reflect how he might look these days, and as he'd appear with out his trademark full beard.
Young Osama as idealized Islamostud
Today's Osama bin Photoshopped
So the next time you're trekking around South Waziristan, keep one eye peeled for the guy on the bottom. He shouldn't be too hard to pick out of a crowd - according to the US Department of State, he's between six-foot-four and six-foot-six (193 - 198cm) but weighs a mere 160 pounds (71kg).
And if you can provide the US Department of State with his address, they'll slip you a cool $25m for your trouble. ®
