Plot to Increase State Government Exposed

Like a thief in the night. elements of our state legislature are stealthy extinguishing the light of liberty.
Energy, being an essential of life in Alaska, is on the verge of falling under total control of a select group of union controlled bureaucrats . How with this be sold to the public ? I doubt the Joint Legislative Committee on Energy even cares to try. Hoping to conceal their true intent, they have attempted to hide their efforts from full public view by drafting an Omnibus Energy Bill. Sold to the public as progress toward energy security it is anything but. Here is the preamble,

"An Act relating to energy; relating to the board of directors of the Alaska Energy
Authority; amending the size and composition of the board of directors of the Alaska
Energy Authority by removing the members of the Alaska Industrial Development and
Export Authority as directors of the Alaska Energy Authority and providing for
designation or appointment of other members; amending the quorum requirement for
the board of directors of the Alaska Energy Authority; and relating to nuclear waste
material."

Sound relativity benign doesn't it? No need to read on is there? But wait! What is stuffed in this turkey called Omnibus?

Buried on page fourteen is a paragraph I am sure the Republican controlled legislature would hope you did not pay any attention to, for it flies in the face of the core Republican principal of limited government .
Page 14 reads: ( my notes in bold type)

* Sec. 19. AS 44 is amended by adding a new chapter to read:
Chapter 38. Department of Energy.
Sec. 44.38.010. Commissioner of energy. The principal executive officer of
the Department of Energy is the commissioner of energy. ( an energy czar)
Sec. 44.38.020. Duties. The Department of Energy shall

(1) develop and administer a comprehensive energy plan for the state,
addressing energy production, distribution, conservation, and consumption state-wide; (soviet style centralised control)

(2) promote cost-effective energy efficiencies in construction,
renovation, and maintenance of public buildings and commercial and residential
structures, including the adoption and management of energy-efficiency standards; ( enforce international energy conservation codes)

(3) encourage the development of new technologies and alternative
energy sources to reduce energy use and costs to consumers; (increased government spending through industry subsidies)

(4) lead the implementation of state-wide energy strategies to ensure
reliable, stable supplies of electricity, heating fuels, renewable and alternative energy,
and other energy resources at reasonable costs to consumers; (assume authority over individuals and manage energy under an oligarchy)

(5) serve as the state's designated energy office for all United States
Department of Energy funds. (create the ability to accept federal bribes and blackmail)

Folks, this is the state-wide implementation of International Energy Conservation Code they said would not happen when they overrode the veto of the Federal Energy Stimulus package. I guess they were right in a way, our Federal government will not force us into universal compliance, our State government will do it as a proxy of the Federal government.

The energy committee knows Alaskans won't stand for this intrusion so they have covered their intent to force their corrupted will on the people of Alaska through this slight of hand called omnibus.

To recap, the intent of creating a state department of energy it , Creates an energy czar who administers soviet style centralised control over energy, enforcing international energy conservation codes,while increasing spending through industry subsidies, assuming authority over individuals and manage energy under an oligarchy, to create the ability to accept federal bribes and blackmail.

Anyone who supports a bill that creates a state department of energy, forever loses their credibility as a proponent of limited government.

Key players in this monster of a bill will be outed in a future article . Stay tuned.

Haycox's Hubris

My father often told me that “ higher education is a wealthy man's only hope for his idiot son”. No one is more indicative of that statement than Mister Haycox. Only an idiot would attack the proverbial hand that feeds him as Haycok did in his recent commentary in the Anchorage Daily News, “Palin's Anti-Intellectualism Dangerous”. As a general rule I do not pick an argument with someone with little capacity for understanding, but Haycox's hubris deserves an accounting by “a person whose values come from the cultural experience of hard-work.”

From his working class taxpayer provided perch, in front of doe-eyed coed's and others who must tolerate his ego for membership into the club of elitism, it is no doubt easy for him to forget he is not the sole purveyor of truth.

Perhaps Mr Haycox , being unaware of the critical analysis, complexities and ambiguities in daily working class routines, incorrectly judges an entire class of Americans. Frankly, I am surprised Mr Haycox hasn't fallen deathly ill by the spit of those who serve him his food.

I wonder how Mr Haycox would fair doing anything from troubleshooting a digital electronic control unit on a GE 701c turbine engine to harvesting a walrus in the middle of the Bering sea with a piece of bone on a sharp stick or any other job done by working class Americans. Not very well I surmise.

I am sure if they were allowed, working class American's could do Mr Haycox job and at half the price. After all, how hard can it be to poison the brainwashed minds of Alaska's youth with asinine statements like “FDR saved capitalism”. Really!

No doubt elitist with superiority complexes will go to work picking apart my articles for double negatives, bad grammar or syntax and miss the content altogether. Vladimir Lenin had a term for these elitist he called them useful idiots. In Mr Haycox case, I doubt the word useful has any application.

You see, I have the ability and access to read the works of Thomas Paine, John Locke, Fredric Bastiat, Lysander Spooner, and a host of real intellects, tell me why I should tolerate the condescending attitude toward my family that Mr Haycox possesses?

The only reason to listen to Haycox's rant is to get a piece of paper that buys a membership into a club which allows you to leech off someone else labor. Maybe that is why myself and the likes of Palin disparages Pseudo-intellectuals like Haycox. They take credit for work that is not theirs and live off the hard labor of others.

I like many other American's would rather live in liberty off the fruit of our own labor.

Mr Haycox, maybe someone with your limited capacity would understand what I am trying to convey if I stated it in a way you would expect from a working class rube so,

KISS MY GRITS YOU ELITIST SOB !

Lesson of Faith from our Founders

Ben Franklin wrote the following letter not to rebuke the unknown recipient, most believe was Thomas Paine, for expressing his religious belief's . But he warned of the consequences of publishing the argument for those beliefs as opposed to the belief's of others. This letter shows Franklin's reasoned wisdom.

We should live as examples of our faith but not impose our beliefs on others.Why force a fruitless argument among your natural allies? Isn't it enough to leave people to their own conscience?

DEAR SIR,

I have read your manuscript with some attention. By the argument it contains against a particular Providence, though you allow a general Providence, you strike at the foundations of all religion. For without the belief of a Providence, that takes cognizance of, guards, and guides, and may favor particular persons, there is no motive to worship a Deity, to fear his displeasure, or to pray for his protection. I will not enter into any discussion of your principles, though you seem to desire it. At present I shall only give you my opinion, that, though your reasonings are subtile and may prevail with some readers, you will not succeed so as to change the general sentiments of mankind on that subject, and the consequence of printing this piece will be, a great deal of odium drawn upon yourself, mischief to you, and no benefit to others. He that spits against the wind, spits in his own face.

But, were you to succeed, do you imagine any good would be done by it? You yourself may find it easy to live a virtuous life, without the assistance afforded by religion; you having a clear perception of the advantages of virtue, and the disadvantages of vice, and possessing a strength of resolution sufficient to enable you to resist common temptations. But think how great a portion of mankind consists of weak and ignorant men and women, and of inexperienced, inconsiderate youth of both sexes, who have need of the motives of religion to restrain them from vice, to support their virtue, and retain them in the practice of it till it becomes habitual, which is the great point for its security. And perhaps you are indebted to her originally, that is, to your religious education, for the habits of virtue upon which you now justly value yourself. You might easily display your excellent talents of reasoning upon a less hazardous subject, and thereby obtain a rank with our most distinguished authors. For among us it is not necessary, as among the Hottentots, that a youth, to be raised into the company of men, should prove his manhood by beating his mother.

I would advise you, therefore, not to attempt unchaining the tiger, but to burn this piece before it is seen by any other person; whereby you will save yourself a great deal of mortification by the enemies it may raise against you, and perhaps a good deal of regret and repentance. If men are so wicked with religion, what would they be if without it. I intend this letter itself as a proof of my friendship, and therefore add no professions to it; but subscribe simply yours,
B. Franklin

Arguably, after General Washington, Thomas Paine was the individual most responsible for the success of the American revolution. Because of his condemnation of other people religious belief's and the vigorous promotion of his own, he was never given his rightful place as a founding father. In fact he was not even allowed burial in a cemetery.

His writings do however, continue to inspire and teach valuable lessons to patriots.

God bless Thomas Paine.

Response to Video

The response to the preceding video is so positive I posted an enhanced version in the preceding article. Check out the new version it has additional material

Two clicks away from Anarchy

Two clicks away from anarchy.
This phrase was used to described tea party participants by one of our state legislators. Perhaps more than one. Interesting enough is the fact that government failure is what leads to anarchy. Yes, we are heading toward anarchy but it is our government leaders and their failed policies that are bringing us closer. This natural progression to anarchy and then oligarchy is clearly defined in the following updated video.

It is true that the tea party movement was reactionary but, given our governments headlong rush to statism, what choice do they have? We elect conservative Republicans only to have them turn into big government appeaser weeks after their election. These appeasers would certainly like for us to shrug off the responsibilities of our citizenship and allow them to rule us as subjects of their good old boy network.
Not bloody likely!

There is a growing movement that will not easily be dismissed,marginalised and chased off. We see how the game is played and while all of us may not be educated, we are not illiterate or unaware.

Americans know our heritage. We know our Republic has been hijacked. We know our labor, our wealth and our birthright has been stolen by those we trusted to safeguard our Republic.

To our elected officials be aware. There is a train moving toward the sound principals of our founding generation, if you are not on that train you will be run over by it.
This movement is about to become pre-emptive.

I think many of our elected folks are two clicks away from retirement.

Bioterrorism in Anchorage

We live in a target rich environment of government idiocy.
There is such a large volume of wrong headedness in today's government I have a hard time picking out examples to share. The following example was just too obvious not to share.

At last Tuesday's Anchorage Assembly meeting , the Assembly voted unanimously to accept a $1.4 million dollar federal grant for bioterrorism defense.
Bioterrorism is defined as terrorism using the weapons of biological warfare.
So what are these bioterrorism defense funds allocated to?

Thirty percent of the bioterrorism funds go to Swine Flu vaccine and seventy percent of the funds go to administration.
This is fraud!

This obvious misdirection of cash feeds the paranoid fringes of society and gives them official government actions that justify their paranoia. Through this allocation our governments a telling us the swine flu is a biological weapon attack on the American people.

The simple truth is that our local government will accept any dollar,regulation or imposition rather than reduce the influence of their kingdoms.

Matt Clayman mentioned how as acting Mayor he had to compete with other cities to capture these funds. I hate to think of the deals he made to get this cash. Clayman also repeatedly stated with pride, how these funds were “saving the property taxpayer money”.

Really?

Apparently Matt Clayman doesn't realise that Anchorage citizens pay an Income tax as well. He is pretty myopic for a man that claims to be a visionary.


People who are offered elaborate and expensive gifts from strangers instinctively know to ask the question. "What do I have to do for it?"
Politicians seem to be the only exception, even prostitutes have higher standards.

Answers for the Left

As I hear the comments of left leaning individual's, their criticism of all things opposing their ideology seems to fall into distinct repeatable statements.

During A recent conversation with a Democrat representative, he mentioned how angry I and other protesters were at the special session rally. Of course we were angry. The legislator should feel grateful those who were angry had a constructive outlet for their anger. I am proud of my part in helping these people find their voice. If you look around and view the decline in our standard of living attributed to the corrupt polices of government it should make you angry as well.

For too long we have allowed others to divide us with false arguments while they steal us blind. Here are my answers to a few of those arguments.


1.You are anti government but you take government services, we should cut your services first.

People who favor limited government are not anti government.
They simply want a small responsible government doing only what it should be doing, protecting individual Life, Liberty and Property.
The government has no wealth of it's own and often times the services a person receives is what they have earned. Retirements, social security, Medicare, etc are funded by those who have earned the benefit.
To state a person should lose a benefit they paid for because of an ideal they espouse is contrary to the American standard of decency. If this statement was practised by a government official it would be criminal.


2.Sure you protest now but where were you when Bush ….etc.

People should not be chastised for participating in society whenever the chose to.
We were there you just weren't listening. May be in the past conservative were too polite to get noticed.
Did you really think all those Ron Paul supporters where closet Liberals?

There has been a steady decline of freedom and liberty in our country for over a period of a century,at the dawn of a new century,a great deal of people are ready to learn from our history and return to what worked,a free Republic.


3.You Conservatives clock stoppers are obstructing progress. You should get out of the way.

Progress to what?
The left has no defined vision of what they intend to do that any reasonable person would want. If they where truthful about their agenda it would be rejected by the public.
It's is easy to march blindly into a wilderness promising a better future is just over the horizon but the truth is, nothing the left has done in the last 100 years, has gotten us any nearer to that utopia they keep talking about.

Conservatives (or if you prefer Classic Liberals) have a vision that has been proven,free markets and free people. Perhaps the left will follow their Pied Piper over the cliff and we will be once again a country of free people and free of Lemmings.


4.I am an educated Liberal if you don't agree with me you must be stupid or racist.

You may feel educated but if you really were you would know this line of reasoning know as argumentum ad hominem (abusive).
This tactic is logically fallacious and is simply a tactic to designed to prevent opposition from growing. A truly educated liberal knows this and uses it. It is an argument that will fail because conservatives as a group are not stupid or uneducated.
However they do lack the indoctrination of the left.

In the end when all their corrupt programs and policies collapse under their own weight, we will be left with what we should have had all along, individual freedom and responsibility.
