Why We Must Fight Against Child Protective Services

A CPS whistle blower lays down the case why CPS is probably the greatest evil in the United States and why it should be abolished. Three big reasons: 1. the state owns your children and can do with them what they want; 2. CPS is unconstitutional, violating amendments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 14; 3. CPS gets more money for the more children they abduct, just like the prison-industrial complex gets more money for the more people they incarcerate; 4. children abducted by CPS are six times more likely to die then if they were left with their supposedly abusive parents.

Runs 10 minutes.

The American Himmler




The infamous Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaiois at it again. This is that guy who likes to put on asinine
spectacles to get attention like everyone else who has ever lived who
has put on asinine spectacles. It's about ego stroking (maybe
stroking something else too).

I am convinced he is violating
the human and Constitutional rights of his inmates through his
practices, putting people awaiting trial in tents where temperatures
soar high enough to cause permanent brain damage and death, feeding
them inadequate or unhealthy food, keeping them in unhealthy crowded
conditions (everyone awaiting trial is innocent until proven guilty,
so he's basically trying to kill innocent people, and even if they
were guilty that doesn't make his treatment of these people any less
disgusting. People have died in his shithole prisons and the county
has paid millions to their families and still this motherfucker stays
in power.). He embezzles money left and right, he uses his power to
silence critics and obstruct justice, and is a worse monster than the
people he is incarcerating.

Well, the American Himmler is at
it again. His deputies, dressed in non-regulation camouflage, left
Maricopa County to illegally police the border when they came across
three militia men who were armed. There was an armed standoff between
the deputies and the men, who thought they were drug smugglers,
ending with one of the men being arrested. The militia men were not
in violation of any law, walking around unclaimed wilderness with
guns. When the deputies identified themselves as law enforcement,
albeit law enforcement outside its jurisdiction, they complied with
orders and put up no resistance.

The militia men were out
protecting their homes from the Mexican cartels who have taken over
the border. Self defense is something every creature has an innate
right to, but the power hungry piece of shit Arpaio, who has
conducted illegal operations on the border, outside his jurisdiction
multiple times, wants a monopoly of force and threw his massive gut,
I mean weight, I mean he's fat around.

“I have to commend
my deputy for not killing this person, which easily could have
happened,” Arpaio said. “He’s lucky he didn’t see 30 rounds
fired into him.” Yeah, I bet he gets a real hard on at the thought
of his personal army going out and killing people. 





30 rounds for one guy, seriously? That's excessive force, which is also illegal. It's also just plain stupid. There were three militia men there. Arpaio's deputy would unload his magazine into one man and then what would happen? If they were real Mexican cartel smugglers or just plain pissed off people he would get killed by the two other armed men while he is trying to reload. Arpaio is posturing, trying to use frighten law abiding citizens from exercising their Constitutional right to walk around the desert with a gun.





I no longer wonder what country I live in. It isn't America, and beyond that I don't care to know which totalitarian state it is.

On Torture

Readers of the old Urban Mystic know my stance on waterboarding: plain and simple, waterboarding is not torture. By the same vein one could say baptism is torture and some highly litigious "advocacy" group should be organizing a class action lawsuit against the Catholic church for torturing millions of babies every year. Joseph Farah at Human Events.com writes:

"
Americans simply are losing their ability to distinguish right from wrong."


He goes on to explain why waterboarding is not torture:


"
Here's why waterboarding is not torture:


"Do you know the U.S. military waterboards hundreds of our own soldiers every year? It is part of the conditioning Special Forces troops undergo to prepare for battle and the possibility of capture by the enemy. In other words, it's OK for us to do this to America's best and brightest, but it's too horrible for our worst enemies? Does this make sense to anyone?


"Many Americans are simply confused about the real definition of torture. Because so little sacrifice is required of most Americans today and because so few have experienced combat, they equate momentary discomfort or fear with torture. They are not the same.My definition of torture is simple: It involves physical or mental abuse that leaves lasting scars. Cutting off fingers, toes, limbs -- that would be torture. Forcing prisoners to play Russian roulette -- that would be torture. Sticking hot pokers in the eyes of prisoners -- that would be torture.
"


I'm posting this because when AOL Journals closed down all the entries I posted on waterboarding went out the window (they're still saved at a secure location, don't worry).
