Underdog Militia Report

The main thing causing the erosion of liberty in the occupied land formerly known as the United States of America is the masses confusion between national defense and law & order.

“A standing army is always dangerous to liberty,” we are told.
However, most people who are willing to concede that fact don’t know why a standing army threatens liberty.

In times of peace there should be no standing army. Instead everyone old enough to handle a gun should be trained to use it. Thus, the individual will be able to defend himself from most acts of aggression. Gun ownership must be mandatory. This and the enforcement of contracts is the only reason governments should exist.

But how does a standing army turn against liberty?

The 3rd circuit court of appeals in Philadelphia, ruled against reading pages from a bible in class.
An article can be found on Law.com

Now here is what grabbed my attention: “Writing for the court, 3rd Circuit Chief Judge Anthony J. Scirica said “parents of public school kindergarten students may reasonably expect their children will not become captive audiences to an adult’s reading of religious texts.”

When parents participate in an elementary school’s curricular activities, Scirica said, school officials have the right to require that the parents refrain from promoting specific messages in class.”

One day in June of 2007, I received a summons from a District Magistrate in Dauphin County.

It turned out to be a private criminal complaint filed by the West Hanover Township manager, accusing me of failure to file an earned income tax return. The first thing I found interesting was the fact that I was being accused of failure to file by April 15, 2003, for the tax year 2002. Here’s the problem: I was not a resident nor worked in West Hanover Township at anytime during the year 2002. So they did not have jurisdiction.

Now the average chicken neck American craps his pants when he receives a court summons. I was laughing at the weakness of the case. They had none. Even if I did reside or work in West Hanover Township at any point in 2002, the burden of proof was on the prosecution. So I decided to do some legal research. (continue reading…)

I saw this article online. I wasn’t going to write an article about it until I started reading the comments.

First of all I didn’t read all the comments. However, I did read enough to get the general Idea about what people were saying.

Also, as a student of history I must point out that throughout most of recorded history teenagers had both the rights and responsibility of adults.
The idea that teenagers are children is a relatively recent phenomenon that started around the late 1890’s and really exploded in the 1950’s.

However the average idiot out there has no problem imposing the responsibility of an adult to someone as young as 12. Hence they are put on trial as adults for victimless crimes, in addition to crimes where there are a victim.

If one 14 year old is charged with a crime as an adult, then all 14 year olds should have the rights of an adult. Including the right to vote. And if you have a problem with that stop charging teenagers as adults. If someone is too young to be allow to do things that adults are allow to do because you think they are unaware of the consequences of their decisions then they should not be required to be held to the consequences of their actions in criminal court. This can included a criminal record that closes plenty of doors and ends many future career options.

Most people are blind to the reason that the economy is such trouble. A number of things are contributing to the death of the economy and liberty in general.
1. Fiat currency distorts the markets giving an incentive to decision makers in industry to lower quality. A commodity based currency would also encourage longer term planning in all levels of investment, production, and quality.

2. Regulations raise the cost to enter a given market. Most regulations are lobbied for by Corporations that already dominate their market. Example- The top tier oil Companies that dominate the oil exploration market, lobby for regulation that stops smaller independent oil exploration companies from drilling for oil, hence they keep the price of oil high.

3. Prohibition & legal extortion. There is a gigantic parasitic industry that profits from making war on the liberty and rights of the people. First you have private prison and subcontractors lobbying lawmakers to pass new laws and to upgrade what use to be a petty or summary offense to a misdemeanor and/or felony grade with much higher incarceration time. Many things that are felonies today were either low grade fine type offenses or didn’t exist as a crime as few as 5 to 10 years ago. Then you have taskmasters (law enforcement) running and getting elected to offices so they can pass more laws and increase penalties for petty offenses and/or victimless crimes. Then you have judges taking bribes to send teenagers to private jails.
Of course they lobbied the legislatures to pass laws that exclude a significant percentage of the population from the jury pool, thereby guaranteeing a high conviction rate. All of these things take up a growing portion of government spending. Not the mention the lost productivity of formerly productive citizens who are locked up. In the past decade law enforcement & incarceration has surpassed education as a percentage of most State budgets including my home State of Pennsylvania. (continue reading…)
