Yeah, About Those Laws

crime, government, law, tyranny, Vermont

There are really two sets of laws: one for you and one for the government. Both are made by the government. (Strictly talking positive law, here).

“Your” laws work like this: They mandate that you must have a driver’s license from their DMV. You break your law, you go to jail.

“Their” laws work like this: They are legally prohibited from using biometrics at their DMV. They break the law, the law is broken.

An example of their lawlessness regarding their own laws from Vermont:

The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles has been caught using facial recognition software — despite a state law preventing it.

Documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont describe such a program, which uses software to compare the DMV’s database of names and driver’s license photos with information with state and federal law enforcement. Vermont state law, however, specifically states that “The Department of Motor Vehicles shall not implement any procedures or processes… that involve the use of biometric identifiers.”

The program, the ACLU says, invites state and federal agencies to submit photographs of persons of interest to the Vermont DMV, which it compares against its database of some 2.6 million photos and shares potential matches. Since 2012, the agency has run at least 126 such searches on behalf of local police, the State Department, FBI, and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

The law they break: 23 V.S.A. § 634(c).

It’s called a double standard. You pay for it. Then you pay for it again. Dandy system.

It’s Not Your Father’s Tractor. It’s Not Even Yours.

Big Club, DMCA, Eric Peters, technology, the Big Club, tractors

Like your new John Deere? Like your lease? You’re leasing by the way. You signed a paper that allowed them to keep exclusive rights. Eric Peters, today, explained how that works:

Not if it’s a John Deere tractor.

When you buy one, you’re actually purchasing an “implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle.“ Basically, a rental contract. With the difference being that even when the rental is paid off, you are still bound by the contract.

Yes, really.

It has to do with two things – the code that runs the tractor (yes, them too) and the ownership claims to that code asserted under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

You may recall the ruckus that erupted about a year ago when the car companies floated the idea that even though you bought their car, it was still their code that ran the thing – and this code remained proprietary. That is, their property. To “tamper” with anything that could conceivably affect the code, their lawyers proposed, would violate both the warranty and copyright laws. Effectively making the car not your property, no matter the name on the title.

A DMCA exception was granted for cars – but probably only because of the rictus of outrage that erupted; rightly so.

Tractors, on the other hand. . .

Probably because there are fewer farmers – and most of them are wholly owned subsidiaries of massive Big Ag cartels, working the fields on behalf of Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland, et al.

But not just them, either.

When you buy a Deere, you must sign a licensing agreement (see here) that contains what amounts to the rental agreement. It basically says that you – the “owner” – will not perform unauthorized repairs or modifications; that you will only permit an authorized Deere technician to touch “your” tractor. This comes in mighty handy when you are out in the field cutting hay and something breaks and you need to get the thing running again right now . . . not next Thursday, when the Deere dude can schedule you an authorized appointment.

img_5388d7ef5ab14_43673

“Beep! Beep! Boop! agriculture.com.

All about control and ownership for the Big Club with the DMCA. I noted as much over two years ago:

All companies, from Ford to Honda to Caterpillar, have announced the need for a change in the law. Specifically, they want to amend the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-304, 112 Stat. 2860 (Oct. 28, 1998) to protect their proprietary software from your incessant meddling. Yes, you, the shade-tree mechanics of America, are the real problem here.

In a way, this is only fair. New cars, all of them, are totally controlled by sophisticated computer programs. Those programs were developed by the car makers at considerable cost. When you endeavor to work on “your” own car you will inevitably run into programming issues. Most shy away from this spectacle of technology. However, some intrepidly dive in and use their own skill to navigate the oil stained field of ones and zeroes which make the new cars work. In doing so they may, intentionally or unwittingly, alter the original programming. This equates to software piracy, you see.

Never mind that you paid for the car, computers and all. It’s not really your property – not all of it. Back in the 90’s the lobbyist for the industries of America wrote and paid for the DMCA. It’s their law, designed to protect their money, and they can change it as needed. You get back to that baseball game – nothing to see here.

“Your” representatives will be bribe … er … convinced to alter the law. In the future only dealership mechanics and licensed big chain techs will be authorized to work on cars. This will save you the trouble of reading code and allow the manufacturers to reap additional profits. Go under the hood yourself and you will likely lose the car and land yourself in prison. As it should be.

The terrorist with a laptop, of whom Markey and I warned you, will no more obey the new DMCA than he will the old laws against kidnapping, murder, and extortion. No mind; eventually this too will be cured. A new dawn of self-driving, un-hackable, super “safe” but un-Godly expensive cars is just over the horizon.

This dawning will surely usher in new problems. Rest assured our wise and benevolent betters will have solutions for these too.

As I said then; “Fix a car, go to jail”. I should have included tractors in that.

Hook that to your PTO.

A Case of Blowback? Or was it Bomb-back?

corruption, England, immigration, invasion, ISIS, Libya, Manchester Bombing 2017, Pan Am 103, terrorism, War

Where to start? Where to start? How about Williamsburg, VA? I was in a shop in that fine town on December 21, 1988, when news broke of the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. (Scotland is in the UK). Those of you who were alive 29 years ago – Lord, time flies – may recall the event. A 747 destroyed and 259 people killed; terrible.

A Libyan gentleman, name of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, was indicted by U.S. and Scottish authorities. After many years of hiding in Libya (his home), he was extradited to the Netherlands to stand trial on the Scottish charges. He was convicted and imprisoned in Scotland.

In 2009, following a bout with cancer, he was “compassionately” released back to Libya, where he received a hero’s welcome. Murder 259 people and you get compassion and you’re a hero – what a world…

My point with all of that is that the UK has a long, twisted relationship with Libya.

In 2011, you may also recall, England lent a heavy hand during the Libyan Civil War. In 2011 or 2012 the UK and its bankster criminal class looted the sovereign wealth of the Libyan people, some $200 Billion or so. There was more interference and looting than one could shake a blog at but that was the big-ticket item. The money is still safely held “for the Libyans” … in London.

This, by the way, was the incident that set off the legal wrangling with the Goldman Sachs.  That’s the same bank Hilary worked for and from which Trump hires for damned near every position in his administration. It’s spelled: c-o-r-r-u-p-t.

Anyway, the British bankers stole a mint. The American bankers won a paltry judgement. Col. Gaddafi was deposed and shot dead in the street. Thousands more were killed, maimed, or left homeless and destitute. Libya is ruined. And terrorists now run amok in the formerly half-way decent Arab country. Many of them travel back and forth between Tripoli and England. They have done that for decades, actually.

And now I get to it…

One lovely little family of Libya terrorists settled in Manchester (England, not New Hampshire). Momma and Pappa Jihad had some boys. One of the sons detonated a nail bomb at the Ariana Grande concert the other night. Salman Abedi was a son of a bitch. And his father and brothers and probably the rest of his family and most of his friends were evil bastards too.

ht-sun-cover-hb052317_4x3_992

Worse than evil: Satanic evil, all the worse for being blindly tolerated. The Sun.

Pappa Jihad Abedi, just today, was arrested back in Libya on terrorism charges. He has links to ISIS and Al Qaeda. Imagine that.

Manchester bomber Salman Abedi apparently wasn’t the only member of his family to harbor extremist views, as Libyan officials arrested the suicide bomber’s father and two brothers and uncovered what investigators called a plot for a new attack.

In this Wednesday, May 24, 2017 photo, Hashim Ramadan Abedi appears inside the Tripoli-based Special Deterrent anti-terrorism force unit after his arrest on Tuesday for alleged links to the Islamic State extremist group. Abedi is the brother of Salman Abedi, who has been identified as the man behind the bombing that killed 22 people and wounded scores at an Ariana Grande concert Monday night in Manchester. The Special Deterrent Force says that Hashim confessed both he and his brother were a part of the Islamic State group and that Hashim had been aware of the details of the attack. (Ahmed Bin Salman, Special Deterrent Force via AP)Expand / Collapse

Hashim Abedi, who was born in 1997, was arrested in Tripoli on Wednesday evening by the Libyan counter-terrorism force Rada on suspicion of links to the Islamic State, and was planning a new attack on the Libyan capital, a government spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday.

The father of the bomber was arrested in Tripoli on Wednesday, a Libyan security spokesman told The Associated Press. The father, Ramadan Abedi, had said another brother of the bomber, Ismail, was arrested Tuesday.

What’s more, two U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News that Salman Abedi spent three weeks in Libya prior to the Manchester bombing, returning to England just days before the Ariana Grande concert Monday, when he launched his attack at the concert venue.

Salman’s mother, Samia Tabbal, is believed to have returned to Libya, while the Facebook profile for his sister, Jomana, suggests that she still lives in Manchester. The mother was described in an article by The Guardian as a “very nice woman” who taught a friend’s daughter to read the Quran.

Lovely. Momma Jihad tutored from verse 3:151 (“Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers…”) while the menfolk read up on proper TATP concoctions. ISIS promotes literacy; I love it.

My theory is a little loose but it seems like cause and effect here. Pick up a serpent and hold it next to your breast. Don’t be surprised when it bites you.

Today the people of Manchester mourn. Some have jumped to the defense … of the terrorists. If you don’t like terrorism, then you’re a “hater” and a Nazi. Sieg Heil. Others plan a candlelight vigil for the deceased, a show of solidarity (to include solidarity with the other [many] terrorists in their midst). ISIS, for their part, vowed to try to get a truck rental scheduled for the same day and time. This stuff almost writes itself.

The terror alert is at code red or code black or whatever correlates with “critical” and “imminent”. Soldiers, thousands of them, are armed and on the streets. Their first mission is to safeguard the Queen, Theresa May, and Parliament. Any platoons left available are helping the police in a frantic effort to not offend the “just-like-us” terrorist Muslims while at the same time attempting to retain some semblance of first world order.

TELEMMGLPICT000129826090_3-large_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqOFETOfxYGjVMc6tecZdrRDt-5vz20WiGvXVBs0N4ZS8

Just another day in the multi-culti paradise. The Telegraph.

If the Brits want my advice – and, aside from Jon, Clive, and three others, it seems they do not – they would do two things.

First, stop picking up asps and vipers! Leave these damned crazy people alone. Leave them alone in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan, or wherever they are. They obviously enjoy a little turmoil. So let them have it. Leave them alone.

Second, get their remnants out of the UK! Use those soldiers to round them up. Interrupt the Quranic chemistry lessons if you have to. Those who vacation at ISIS bomb factories should simply be barred from ever returning. Throw them all out!

Otherwise, prepare for more bombings, more car and truck attacks, more stabbings, and more blood in Mr. Powell’s river.

In a Western country not the UK? Then just apply this same general scenario and solutions to your nation. Do so quickly.

And it was so odd. It was a gift shop and I was looking at those little metal model jet liners, including a 747, when I heard the news about the real one in Scotland. I think it snowed a little that day.

They are ALWAYS known to authorities.

Salman Abedi?

Is that Welch? Amish? Finnish?

At any rate, it’s time for more thoughts, prayers, candles, and solidarity with those who perpetrated the attack(s).

Another Terrorist Attack in Another Western City

England, ISIS, Manchester bombing, terrorism, The West, War

Again and again and again. Seems like we’re averaging two a week now. More are on the way. It’s like someone is trying to tell us something.

Please take any one of my previous terrorism articles and update with “Manchester” and “May 22, 2017.”  I truly tire of these attacks and the utter lack of intelligent reaction, even acknowledgement, from the people of the West. And where is any meaningful response from our “leaders?”

This particular attack targeted young people and children at a Manchester concert. Right now, this morning, the tally stands at 22 dead and five dozen wounded. Many, including small children, are missing.

The Sun.

Dropping more bombs in Syria won’t help. That might kill terrorists in that country. It does nothing to stop the jihadis in Manchester, London, Berlin, New York, Paris, Brussels, Minneapolis, or your city.

A few approximate numbers just for the UK: this stuff just happens to work in orders of magnitude:

400+ combat veteran ISIS fighters;

4,000 known terrorists;

40,000 suspected or likely terrorists;

400,000 likely terrorist sympathizers;

4,000,000 Taqiya cover-up agents, liars, and deniers;

40,000,000 people either asleep, drugged, or otherwise completely oblivious.

Again, I’m not sure what I can say, here and today, that I haven’t said ten or fifty times before. I’ll probably be saying it all again soon.

Just how much worse does this have to get?

The Perrin Lovett Show lives!

Cheesy, yes. But fitness is one of my pet subjects and something some others might benefit from. The U.S.A. is 70+% overweight or obese. The “prepper” angle reflects the joint effort with FP – being ready for whatever comes your way should mean being in shape, no? The follow-ups will cover the attitude, the training, the diet, and more to pull this off. Check in for the next installment – when I get around to it.

This video is a light year from my previous shows – music, text, multiple videos in fact, melded together. Even features a cigar and a gun. You can’t beat that.

Please visit Freedom Prepper and do check back here soon.

“You Have Parked Illegally and Must Pay a Fine. You Have Twenty Seconds to Comply…”

future, police, robots, tyranny

I love to kid about the machines but they are real. And the time to stop their rise was yesterday. Prepare yourselves for the cold, metallic future.

The “world’s first operational Robocop” has been unveiled in Dubai as part of the emirate’s planned robot police force.

Robocop started work on Sunday and is already making a name for itself.

At 5ft 5in tall and weighing 100kg, it can speak six languages and is designed to read facial expressions.

It had an easy start to working life, being unveiled at the three-day long Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference.

But when the Expo draws to a close tomorrow, it will be released into the wider world and tackle real life issues.

The machine has a built-in tablet so people can use it pay fines or report crimes, and can also transmit and receive messages from police headquarters.

“[a] built-in tablet so people can use it pay fines [SIC].” Isn’t that nice. Due Process-bot will take your money now. (Read about that Chinese people-herder too).

Today it is five foot five and weighs 200 pounds. Tomorrow it will be 12 feet tall and weigh 3,000 pounds. And it won’t take “no” for an answer. It won’t care that your government-driven robo-car parked itself illegally.

Some will call this progress…

Okay. In response to a recent request for new videos and in an effort to boost traffic here, at Freedom Prepper, and on YouTube, I am currently editing a test video. Editing as in splicing, adding text, and pictures, maybe etc….

You will never see the test subject. We all know my videography skills are … sub-possum. Anyway, it’s a process. I are actually learnin’ with some kind of editing soft…stuff. And it should lead – soon – to some downright entertaining material.

Some Thought-provoking Geopolitical Commentary, if that’s Allowed on a Saturday Night

America, Empire, globalism, politics

From Michael Perilloux and Social Matter: Starting with Point Five:

5. Business As Usual Means We’re In Trouble

America’s imperial mode and internal divisions are unsustainable:

Both our imperial mode and our internal conflicts are hollowing us out economically, demographically, and socially. See for example: politicized mass immigration, deindustrialization, divisive anti-white, anti-Christian anti-male, and anti-traditional domestic propaganda and subversion by Blue Empire are generated by the structure of the system. These things will be the end of us unless something changes first.

We have no way to seriously oppose a belligerent China or Russia besides subversion, escalating hostility, and nuclear brinkmanship. If things were different, and we had an economically, demographically, and morally stronger empire, we would have a much stronger negotiating position, and many more options to deal with our neighbors.

Our internal conflicts lead to Putin’s famous comment, “America is no longer agreement-capable”. To be clear “not agreement capable” is a fancy technical term for “not capable of the rational deescalation needed for nuclear peace”, because what one part of our government agrees to might get ignored by another, or torn up once the other party gets in after four years.

We lack the central strength and coherence to re-industrialize the rest of our empire as economic negotiating leverage. Right now, we can’t easily threaten China with cutting off trade, because that would be a domestic disaster, as our wealth is based increasingly on imports from China. This hollowing out of our industrial core originates from a combination of internal conflict, and weak government that can’t act as a unit.

With a weak empire, we can’t impose or enforce treaties to deal with global issues like global pollution, out-of-control African population growth, dangerous transformative technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence, nuclear proliferation, or any other grand problems.

If things continue as they are, we’ll be in a bad spot. Business as usual is unacceptable, but we already knew that. More importantly, any strategy for getting us out of business as usual has to take into account the above basic points of our geopolitical situation. But what does a realistic new geopolitical vision for America look like?

For context please read the first four points. The ending is a little silly but it self-acknowledges as much.

These are weighty matters. They’re not going to happen. Rather, they have happened and, thus, we find ourselves in the sorry “business as usual”. Beer, television, and blind allegiance to a failed, stupid political party won’t fix any of this.

At any rate, there is no going back. Forward it is. Downwards is definitely an option.
