Happy (or mournful) Memorial Day, 2013!  I thought about writing something about Decoration Day but the irrepressible Tom DiLorenzo beat me to it over at LRC:  http://lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo255.html.

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking to and worshiping with the congregation of Franklin Covenant Baptist Church in EXTREME south Richmond County, Georgia.  The topic was the criminal abuses plaguing the Richmond County (Augusta) Sheriff’s Office and jail system.  The response was overwhelmingly ( I think unanimously) positive!  I found a Biblical tie-in for the talk: those in RC, First California Bank, and A&S Commisary Services are the modern-day money changers in our temple of justice.  It’s time to drive them out!

Rev. Strowbridge delivered a thought-provoking sermon on the importance of remembering and memorializing all that God does for us, not just on Memorial Day, but everyday.  I look forward to a return trip to FCBC!

I have a few things I’ve been meaning to get around to over the past week or so:

I have written extensively about the Posse Comitatus Act here and elsewhere.  A week ago Vox Day posted a chilling note at Vox Popoli:  http://voxday.blogspot.com/2013/05/us-military-unilaterally-overturns.html.  It seems the Imperial military has taken it upon itself to decide when and where to illegally usurp what little freedom remains in Amerika and to impose martial law.  Why bother Congress and the President, anyway?

(I did not independently verify this but I trust Vox.  D.O.D. [SIC])

The Boston martial law/ false-flag proved this will not only be accepted WHEN (not if) it happens but that it will be cheered by the sheep.  This is a little something extra to consider on this latest State Worship …uh… Memorial Day.  By the way, you’ll note that Vox calls it the “Ciceronian historical cycle.”  Though I tend to refer to it as the “Plato” cycle, both are correct – and REAL.  I don’t argue with Vox.

My friend and Congressional representative, John Barrow, sent me a flyer in the mail this weekend.  It is entitled: “Congressman John Barrow Is…At Your Service.”  It lists some of the more popular programs with which John can help the constituents of Georgia’s 12th district.  You can see something similar at www.barrow.house.gov.  If you’re not in the GA-12 (lucky you…) your Congresscritter can be found on-line at www.house.gov.

You and I are not interested in programs and freebies but it is nice to hear from our representatives that they still serve us.  John is a good guy – he tolerates my madness rather well!  I wonder if he could help me get the NFA/GCA repealed or, selfishly, get me exempted by private law (we haven’t covered those, have we?).

Saturday I went Putt-Putting with my favorite girl!  I bested her over 36 holes.  Alas, my edge is fading fast.  I won the first round by 3 points, the second by only 2.  I suppose by next summer she will be letting Daddy win…  And!  She flat-out beat me at air hockey, 7 – 6…  Afterwards we enjoyed the new Oz movie.  I actually liked it.  It was a happy day.

One step forward, 8 pounds back.  My program has suffered over the past month or so (much like my writings).  I attribute this to sitting in a metal box three hours a day to and from another box where I sit the remainder of the day doing law-ish stuff.  The fun has imposed on my gym time and I have slipped a bit in the nutrition department.  In my defense, when I exercise I’ve been trying to gain muscle mass.  I’ve been eating accordingly too.  So, some of the return weight is good.  However, my new, smaller pants and belts tell me some of it is also bad.  So, today I re-imposed the old routine which shed so many pounds.  I aim to right the ship by next week!  I’m sure you’re thrilled…  And now, let’s see what happening …

In the news:

A key bridge on I-5 collapsed last week.  Fortunately, there were no fatalities and very minor injuries.  Also fortunate is the fact there is plenty of money standing by for the rebuilding effort.  Can you imagine what it would be like if we ran a huge corporate welfare state and a series of pointless, money-draining wars!?  Ha!

Drudge reports today that more than 6,700 Americans have died (for nothing) since Washington launched its war for corporate profits in Afghanistan.  Can any of you come up with one thing we’ve gained for this aggression, other than the dead?

Have you noticed a lack of heads rolling yet due to the IRS “scandal?”  Me too.

Etc.  It’s a slow news day…
