Public Wealth

February 5, 2010 by mikesylvia

Here is a scan of a letter to the editor from the Post-Standard of Syracuse, NY. If I had just retyped it who would believe this was printed in the good old US of A. The message is clear; without government we would all starve and ride donkeys.

A letter to the editor claiming government theft creates wealth.

Warren Redlich for Governor of New York

Gubernatorial Candidate Challenges New York Establishment

Albany lawyer Warren Redlich anounced his candidacy for New York governor on Monday, Feb. 1st at 10am in the Legislative Correspondents Association Press Room in the Legislative Office Building.

I’m glad to hear Warren Redlich has decided to run for Governor of New York. It sounds like he has been convinced that support is in place for his campaign. I’m sure he will attract a lot of support from Tea Party activist looking for real small government candidates.

Sunshine or Bullsh!t

Thanks to Lew Rockwell. Sure, open honest public government just like Bush, Clinton, Bush and on and on. The oligarchy will promise you everything and delivery to you tasty crumbs. Thank you sir may I have another.

Success Story

Doing what the government can’t, Cayuga Dog Rescue has found a new home for a troubled dog. Kinsey, a shepherd mix, has a huge problem with lightning and gunshots. She has hurt herself in the past and would surely hurt herself again doing whatever it would take to escape from thunder. Thanks to the all volunteer organization Kinsey will be heading to her new home in sunny, thunder-free California.

Kinsey the shepherd mix.

Government Schools Are Bad for Your Kids

January 4, 2010 by mikesylvia

Government Schools Are Bad for Your Kids is James Ostrowski’s latest book. I’m looking forward to reading it soon. I was going to call this post, ‘The Hardest Working Liberty Activist in New York’ but I had to stop and think about that and happily it’s not that easy to pick the top supporter of Liberty in this state. I’m more than a little surprised that in a state where the collectivist are constantly doing anything they can to control every aspect of our lives, we have more than a few people working tirelessly to promote Liberty from a Constitutional perspective. So I’ll just put James Ostrowski in my top three and enjoy a day of considering the others to put on the list.

Liberty for the New Year

January 3, 2010 by mikesylvia

The New Year has kicked off with a couple of encouraging announcements of Liberty minded people entering the political ring. On New Year’s day Logan Bell took to the cold snowy Ithaca Commons to announce his intention to run for Congress in the 24th district of New York. I was pleased to meet Logan and listen to his message of courage and liberty. I look forward to hearing more from him in the near future and hope he will be able to attend our Campaign for Liberty Meetup on Jan. 10th. He is off to a good start with coverage by the Ithaca Journal and Livingindryden.org. I certainly wish him well covering this large Gerrymandered congressional district.

Liberty lovers also have a possible candidate for Governor. Thanks to Rich Cooper for his Ground Report article covering Warren Redlich’s intention to run for Governor of New York. Warren has a long history in the struggle for liberty and access to the ballot for parties outside the oligarchy. As people become aware of our one party system, the Dem/Rep con job will lose support and their bogus divisive issues will lose traction. Well, that’s my dream. Good luck Warren.

The Important Work in Albany

Happy New Year!

Surfing the Laws of New York, I found this delightful gem, the product of our esteemed legislature:

State Law STL Article 6 ยง 84. State  muffin.  The apple muffin shall be the official muffin of
  the state of New York.

Your tax dollars at work!

Ignorance of the Law

December 29, 2009 by mikesylvia

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. That is the sum of the government school education on the topic of law. It is not in the best interest of the government to instruct its citizens any further in the ways that the citizen might defend the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. This is akin to assuring slaves not learn how to read.

As children we are told of that magnificent document, the Constitution, and the rights that it protects. We are then taught to sit down, shut up and do as you’re told, the Constitution doesn’t apply to children in government schools.

Getting beyond our indoctrination is hard work. You’ve been brain washed by well meaning people who are themselves unknowing cogs in the system. Part of the system is the legal profession, the Bar. James Ostrowski has an excellent post at Lew Rockwell which exposes how that system operates. Eventually, the People will need to fix the system that we left neglected. In order to fix it we will need to know how the law works and teach children the same. To that end I recommend the legal self-help package, Jurisdictionary.

In this age of the internet there is little excuse for ignorance. It’s now your choice.

Nobel Bullshit Prize

October 9, 2009 by mikesylvia

Almost as absurd as giving the Nobel Peace Prize to the war criminal Henry Kissinger. Clearly, Obama has a lot of killing to do before he actully earns the ‘honor’ of being in a class that includes Kissinger. I’m sure he will do his best, he may even bring peace to Iran.

Service?

Here is something I discovered:

Is extortion a service?

I don’t consider registration for my car to be a service. Maybe Discover can come up with a better category. Suggestions?
