Whoa, I’m on fire. After I published the last post I remembered something else I wanted to blab about. I have now forgotten what that was. Anyway, I want to plug for my buddy Russell Wilder at Top Shelf Cigars (http://www.topshelfcigarshoppe.com/) and JFR cigars (http://www.casadefernandez.com/). In particular I write in praise of the JFR 770:

“770” refers to 7 inches by a 70 ring gauge. That means this joker is a huge cigar. A note: just as I own no guns (only for police and the military), I do not partake of dangerous, death-dealing tobacco products. I also do not drink or lie…

Anyway, I think the JFR emanates from Nicaragua, where all the best (non-Cuban) tobacco comes from. Just ask my friend, Nick Perdomo. No, Nick, I’m not a tratior – well, today I am. Anyway, again, I am told this little beauty draws remarkably well for such a stout cigar with no sidewiding or need for retouching. It has a lovely dark brown wrapper and delicious taste, so I’m told. I would say, based on the infomation I’ve been given, that the effect is mild to medium body (more medium). Again, not the ass-kicking one would expect from a stick of this magnitude.

Witness the JFR 770 in action, immediatley above. In the Augusta area you can get this delightful monstrocity at Top Shelf, see the link herein. The rest of ya’ll check with your local tobacconist.

Oh, THE THING I FORGOT! Some of you know I tried and lost 😦 a federal jury trial last fall. My guy was charged with the most erroneous terrorism charges immaginable. I truly thought we had the case in the bag until the Jury came back with a guilty verdict. In short, the defendant was the most sympathetic individual I have encountered in my legal travels. He was a highly decorated U.S. Army veteran who was horribly injured by the government’s never-ending wars of aggression and profit. When he sought help from the only source available, he was arrested and railroaded in spite of my efforts. Of course, at sentencing, the government came in “on my guy’s side” due to his horrible condition (which they caused). He got time served. Unbeleivable, except we live in the USSA, the new Amerika.

I am slowly working with several nationaly syndicated heavyweights about making this sad story public. I don’t know yet if we’re going to do a generic story to protect identities or if we’ll actually be able to state the case in detail. Either way it will be a compelling piece about the “Just-Us” system in Amerika. Stay tuned.

ALSO, I am currently seeking a new career in higher education. This is due in part at my disillusionment following my last jury trial (God willing, my last), my general dissatisfaction with the local legal racket, and my desire to serve society by producing lawyers and other citizens with a greater sense of what Natural Law is and how it affects us all. Then again, this is why I started ths little blog. More to come!

Big Doins For 2013!

Dear Friends: I’m still here, despite my lack of postings. I finally occurred to me I do not want to be a one-blog wonder. Thus, here I am again. This will be rather short but there are many things to come soon.

First, my new (and first) book, The Time Given, will be published shortly – hopefully by the end of this month or March at the latest. It will be available from CreatSpace, Amazon, and, yes, a Kindle e-version is planned. This work is far from what I expected as my first expedition into lituratureland. Some of you are aware of my existing rambling manuscripts on guns, government, and grace. Those will come latter (hopefully sooner). I decided to write The Time Given on the fly as suggested by James Altucher (great blog at http://www.jamesaltucher.com/). It is a short, happy adivce style book aimed at helping people avoid certain of life’s little problems and how to not worry when things go wrong, despite planning. I suggest you get ready to buy multiple copies to give as gifts. You can buy as many as you like, no limits. I expect the price to be around $7 – 10 bucks. Set aside $100 or so now to help out old Perrin (rambling ain’t cheap).

An update – that completely Constitutional tax evil scheme know as Obamacare, of which I opined last year is starting to take effect. Paul Criag Roberts has an excellent guest analysis of how the law will rape the poor and lower middle classes at http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/. Check it out. No, Dorothy, this was not in any way an attempt to make healthcare more affordable or accessible. Rather, it was just an attempt to steal more of your money and freedom. It also will help line the pockets of our lovely insurance company friends. I am often concerned about their financial welfare, aren’t you. Worry no more, friends. A buddy of mine recently told me that his wife’s private health policy just went from $800 per month to $1,500. That’s change we can believe in! He can afford to pay it until she is Medicare eligable. The working poor won’t be so fortunate.

Droning on and on… We’ve known for some time that the executive branch claims unfettered power to use drones or any other weapons to kill dissenter..er..terrorists. What’s the uproar about? This keeps us safe. Don’t you want to be safe and secure. Jefferson spoke once of desiring dangerous liberty over saftey. What a deluded idea! Crazy founder. As for modern politicians, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D, VT), recently quoted the Emperor from Star Wars at the gun violence hearing, “for a safe, secure society”. He looked and sounded better than Palpatine though.

Speaking of GUN CONTROL! Through years of practice I have mastered control over all my guns. Have you? Really, you all know I have no guns – they kill people. My suggestion for common sense gun control is this: 1) Abolish the Imperial federal government in its entirety; 2) disarm all state and local law enforcement officers (except, perhaps the county sheriff); 3) let’s all arm up with modern weapons (those who have not already); 4) let’s all be responsible with those weapons; and 5) ala Rodney King – let’s just all get along. This is a re-post from FB.

If we have armed teachers, staff, and parents in and out of our schools, then crazy people and government agent provocateurs will have less incentive to attack the schools. And, if they do, they can be shot down before they can commit a massacre. I made this same point regarding airplane security at the Federalist Society national convention in 2001, just after 9/11. At the time I was still under the delusion Fed-Soc was a libertarian organization. Ha! At any rate, you can see how well me suggestion was received by the government. By the way, they can see your “junk” at security stations – while, they irradiate you. If you like, they will just sexually molest you instead. This, you see, makes us safe from CIA recrutied nuts with pocket knives. Not sure how it would stop a muscular nut from taking a plane or how it would halt a S.A.M. Oh well…

This little ATM robot thing keeps kids safe. I suppose it would actively engage and kill a shooter.

: (This little ATM robot thing keeps kids safe at my daughter’s school. I suppose it would actively engage and kill a shooter.)

Many other thoughts to come. Can you believe it’s going to snow in New England!? Wow. And how about all the Illuminati symbolism at the Stupor Bowl! Etc…

The Shared Responsibility TAX: ObamaCare a hit with the Supremes…

Constitution, government, Lysander Spooner, tax

On this scalding, 100 degree plus day, with wildfires burning ominously across the land, our friends at the U.S. Supreme Court have upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010¹ (a.k.a., It’s Just Another Tax Act). Mind that they did not uphold it, Constitutionality speaking; they just upheld it. It’s a hold-up, with real guns and all. I reread the Constitution this morning and could not find any authority regarding patients or affordable care. Maybe I missed something.

The case is National Federation of Something vs. Cerberus, Dark Lord of the Ministry of Health and Human Taxes.² It’s a 193-page doozie and not worth reading. If you must, skip to the final two pages wherein Justice Thomas throws up his dissenting hands and screams, “WTF?!” Allow me to save you some time and tears. The Court’s legal reasoning [SIC] goes like this – Congress can do whatever it likes and you have to pay for it.

Just the other day I predicted the individual mandate portion would be stricken. I was right except I did not foresee the Court’s revenue generation angle. I should have. Since the time of Charlemagne the Court has (mis)interpreted the Constitution’s “commerce clause” to justify damn near any action undertaken by Congress no matter how idiotic or dangerous. A few years back the Court tapped the brakes in a case called Lopez.³ Today’s ruling puts us right back on track to statist oblivion. Hooray! The Court decided that while the commerce clause can be used to regulate activity, it cannot be used to compel activity (or non-activity). In other words Congress cannot force you to go out and purchase health insurance. However, none of this matters anymore. The Health Care Tax Act had an alternative provision: buy insurance or pay a penalty. The Court held that the penalty for inaction is just a plain old tax and that Congress has all the authority it needs to levy taxes. Thus, the individual mandate stands, alternatively, indirectly, at the point of an IRS gun.

The commerce clause has given way to or merged with the “tax clause”. From now on Congress can pass any law and require anything of its subjects or, alternatively, just tax them for non-compliance. Unfortunately, I did find Constitutional authority for taxes – potentially unlimited taxes.

The fallout today. The intrepid Republicans have vowed to repeal the law. They won’t. Mittens has vowed to repeal the law and replace it. Replace it with what I wonder. A higher tax? Lower tax? A more Massachusetts friendly alternative tax care scheme? Speaking of the Mittster, several of my “conservative” friends have tried to scare me into joining team Mitt on the premise that Little Barry’s re-election would lead to the appointment of liberal, Constitution-trashing Supreme Court justices. Only Mitt will give us original intent guided, conservative judges – you know, like when W gave us John Roberts. Oops….

Seriously, the old Republic has at long last reached the point where the name and nature of the political parties (if there is more than one) just doesn’t matter. It should now be painfully obvious to all but the dullest television watchers that the federal government wields unlimited power. As Lysander Spooner prophesied long ago: “[W]hether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.” And, in a sense, the Constitution now no longer exists. This is unimaginably confounding to one who has sworn to support and defend the Constitution; it’s like a veterinarian swearing to care for dinosaurs, only to discover them long extinct.

Time will certainly cure the injustice done today. In 500 or 1,000 years the Unaffordable TaxCare Act will be but a lousy footnote in history. While there would appear no legal or political solutions left to those of us in the here and now, we may have a few options left. Options with names like interposition, nullification, and secession. More on those later.

1. 26 U.S.C. § 5000(B)(S), et seq.

2. Slip Opinion 11-393, June 28, 2012.

3. 514 U.S. 549 (1995).
