"I submitted a reply to this before my post to Zenmillionaire"

Billionaire. It's "Zenbillioniare". I used to be a millionaire before the Fed started printing money. Now I'm a billionaire. Soon I hope to be a trillionaire. Inflation is so difficult to keep up with...

Ron Paul for President of The United States!

I wasn't really helpless but I was completely ineffectual. I had maybe 4 other pros and a few volunteers, he still didn't make it.

I'm just a small town cop and sometimes its important for me to remember that :) I really appreciate your compassion. Thanks.

Bloody gremlins, ... they get everywhere :-)

Hi, Dr Paul,

One thing is most certain, you do not have your sorrows to seek, as this crazy tale tells. Is there something in the water over there, or is it a congenital abnormality in a certain group of intellectually challenged muppets who would have everyone else act as their puppets?

[quote]"There are events in history known as false flag events. These are staged by a government usually to distress the public, so the government can do something that the public would otherwise disapprove."

And here is one of the latest mad notions dreamt up by some sad, rad idiot in the pay of the status quo machine which is stalled and failing to deliver the reality it expected the world to swallow without a second thought, or any thinking at all ...... Click to view link

The world however has changed, and no longer accepts the folly of fools and media tools as a legitimate cause for concern, or of remote control, which is what everything is really about in the virtual domain which pits new intelligence and ancient knowledge against relatively recently established power brokerages and/or pathetic dynasties into inequitable practices for personal profit at the expense of the masses?

Re: By the way, a much more interesting issue is a "no fly list". People were arbitrarily and without any due process declared dangerous enemies. WOW. This is now the real democracy. Even in the Soviet Union, there was not shit like this. At least, everyone had his day in court (even it did not change anything).

I submitted a reply to this before my post to Zenmillionaire, but it hasn't appeared. If it comes up I'll have a repost, same message.

What can you tell me about the 'no fly list'. Is it in place now. It seems like I remember hearing of it, but I thought it was only somebody's "bright idea."

I guess if your name is on the no-fly list you are not eligible to get the chip implant that will make it so much easier for the rest of us to travel freely.

I can't even imagine how it would feel to see someone so happy and full of life one moment and then helplessly watch them die the next.

I read the article and the replies.

I have just one stupid question: what else do you expect from a present government "enforcement" agency and its people?

There are no much differences between mob-mafia enforcers and government enforcers. What they do have in common is a total disrespect for both people and the Law.

But of course, we can talk endlessly about it without changing anything.

That wasn't fair. I'm in a bad mood.

Yesterday I watched a man die. He had been dancing in the park a few minutes before. He was an older man of Asian heritage, possibly Chinese. I'd guess he might have been 65? His name was Don. Before he died he had a few lucid moments and managed to get that out. For a short time he was the most important person in the world for me and now he's gone.

What. "What" say...

"It will gain speed and power as it continues"

Hey Dottie? Wat say we all just curl up in a small ball and die? Wouldn't THAT be special?

an. You're "an" idiot. Idiot.

"The unfortunate fact that we put up with this does not speak well for our willingness to stand up to an abusive government."

Ron? You're am idiot. Hey! I love ya guy! I really do! I Sent large amounts of money to benefit your campaign. But you are a stone cold freaking moron if you think ANYONE with half a brain is going to stand up against the TSA. THEY HAVE GUNS!! LOTS OF THEM!! HAVE YOU BEEN SLEEPING FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS!

Moron.

I'm afraid you are so very right about more regulation and more lost freedoms. It will gain speed and power as it continues.

Excellent post.

Re: However, despite all of that, there is no way for me to be identified or certified as fit to ride an airplane without intrusive searches.

This is almost more scarey to me. Then we get a list of approved and not approved would-be passengers. Then blacklisting.

This is just unreal. It will never be rolled back--all "progress" will be in the forward direction--toward more infringements on our freedoms.

Pascendi, What a lovely idea!!

But that era--where the co. sheriff has so much power--was before we needed the federal government to keep us safe from terrorists that lurk behind every tree.

It makes me sad that the Power Elite's plan has worked so well.

@Joelg - Agreed. And you know what will be the reaction if the TSA fails to stop the next "act of terror" .... Indeed, more control. Nobody will scratch their head to check if the action taken made sense. Nope. It will imply MORE of the ineffective and irritable same, MORE regulations, MORE individual freedom reduction, MORE costs. That's how it works.

Airline travel is far safer mile/per mile than travel by auto.

Maybe instead of just giving you back your boarding pass, you should be given a little jolt of tranquilizer. Or maybe a big jolt.

What is the quote?

He who gives up liberty to gain security is not worthy of either.

I agree with DB, that it would be better to do away with TSA and have a private security system. Free market economists like von Mises have made the case about government bureaucracies in their books. My fear is that more legislation will require TSA to hire more staff and spend more money for interpretation, rule writing, and enforcement. The unintended consequence, in my opinion, might be a bigger TSA bureaucracy.
