GOOD FOR YOU JESSE VENTURA
George Offerman
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”
Benjamin Franklin
Jesse Ventura’s court case against the TSA was thrown out last week, and as Gov. Ventura promised if this occurred, he would leave this country. Gov. Ventura then announced immediately, he would be going to Mexico and will no longer stand for the National Anthem but turn his back and raise his fist. Governor Ventura also stated emphatically that America is Fascist and he is no longer going to participate in such atrocities any more. And this is all over what some would consider a ‘trivial inconvenience’ of being groped at airports in the name of ‘national security’.
It is simply inconceivable that a behavior is considered ‘legal’ at an airport that literally done anywhere else in this society would be considered a felony, and would require the perpetrator to register as a sex offender the rest of his life. Janet Napolitano, in her infinite bureaucratic wisdom, made this statement some months ago: “no one is traumatized by this action, the TSA is professional and everyone understands this is of national security”. No, Ms. Napolitano, in fact it is very traumatic for many people, but you, like Obama and others of your ilk are too stupid to even begin to know how stupid you really are.
That being said, being groped goes against anything we believe in, and no matter how it is colored, it is groping and a gross violation of one’s right to freely move about and to practice their God given right to freedom. However, it seems that most Americans don’t want to be bothered fighting this, but will comply as sheep and continue to have rights taken away as these Fascists see fit. It seems inconceivable that a parent would allow a stranger to touch their child under any circumstances, yet there are many who have been interviewed that look at this situation as being for ’security’. Really, did you plant a bomb in a diaper or put a box cutter in your child’s scivvies?
Governor Ventura has decided enough is enough. The Governor is demonstrating by his actions what most Americans ought to be doing, voting with their feet. Unlike most of the complacent, the Governor is making this an issue in which he is willing to fight for and has spelled out the consequences of losing this fight. It’s good to see someone of the Governor’s stature taking up this fight, but without good follow up, it will simply be forgotten in the days and weeks ahead. The lessons pertaining to the loss of real freedoms will simply fade away in the midst of the mindless drivel and endless sporting events thrust upon us, to distract us from the real happenings in society.
We will never have true security, because the powers that be don’t want us to. Their intention is to constantly scare the populace with make believe ‘terrorism’ or other ‘isms’ that will come to the forefront when convenient or needed. People feel most empowered when they have some stake in the matter, and as our ever developing police state shows, it is being taken from us on a never ending plane of problems and issues not of our making. So stress and anxiety will continue to mount as time goes on, and the only solutions forwarded will be those of the nanny state dictating the terms of day to day life to those who have been trained to not think for themselves.
WAKE UP!

BREAD AND CIRCUSES WHILE ROME BURNS
George Offerman
The past few months have seen such an escalation of events in virtually every realm of existence, and the majority of Americans still seem to think things are not ‘that bad’ or even might be ‘getting better’. As I look around me and see the now extreme denial of the many, it makes me wonder who the really crazy people are in our society. I think many who come into my office experiencing significant amounts of anxiety seem to be the saner among us, and seem to have some sense of impending major shifts in our current existence.
While our economy implodes, and more people are losing their houses and jobs, and more are on food stamps and other entitlements, and inflation is causing those whoa re still employed to spend most of their money on necessities, the clowns in Rome, er… Washington continue to run such nonsensical BS and can’t even decide to show at least a condescending spending cut to show they get ANY of the reality the majority of us now live in. All these bands of fools are doing is finishing the hatchet job Obama started with his Fabian Socialistic plan on taking over the whole economy and nationalizing everything.
These people are so brazen in their zeal to take over everything that their lies are based more on fiction than any type of reality. For instance, instead of cutting back on more government waste, the TSA wants to expand their ‘random’ searches (legalized molestations) to trains, subways, busses, and even some trucks and possibly private automobiles. (This is to catch the non existent American terrorist, who so far, has blown up nothing). Yet, these same idiots will not ‘profile’ those known and sworn enemies of this country. More bread and circuses while Rome burns.
We have our ever so prescient Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (Goldman Sachs alumni) announcing today that it is more important to increase the taxes on every small business with income of $250,000 so that (God Forbid!) the GOVERNMENT DOES NOT SHRINK!!! And these people are taken seriously. By an ignorant and lazy constituency that wants its own never ending desires for ongoing bread and circuses. It is unbelievable that we have sunk to such levels, but it’s hard to argue with what is so plainly in front of our faces.
This is what happens when a people lose their moral compass. This is what death of an empire looks like. This is what an ending to the way of life as we know it looks like. Our nation is burning down all around us, and we simply want to focus on the here and now, and get that last piece of ‘what is mine’ before TSHTF for everyone else but me. We are seeing the fruits of our labor, and we will eat of the crop we have sown. If the delusion can be carried one step further, the elites will have us convinced road kill is filet minion and thistles are a delicacy.
It’s simply amazing to me how the average person continues to believe things will get better, and despite all of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they think people like me are the crazy ones. Believe it or not, like it or not, know it or not, Rome is burning and there is nothing any of us can do to put this fire out. We need to get out of the ‘city’ while there is still time, or we will, like our country, go up in smoke.

THE ROE DEFENSE
George Offerman
This upcoming holiday poses a quandary for all the people who will use the airlines to travel to their holiday destinations. You see, in the name of ‘security’ and ‘government benevolence’ these people, or fanatics, have legalized the ability of one agency to take away all rights to one’s body in the name of the ‘greater good’. All of the lefties, Demovamps, socialists, Marxists, elitists, and the willfully ignorant all seem to agree with Big Brother in this matter with statements such as: ‘Suck it up” ‘it’s not molestation, it’s security’ ‘if you don’t like it, don’t fly’ ‘Greyhound and Amtrak are ready when you are’. It again, reflects the death of common sense, along with what is right and wrong, and that ‘government knows best’.
Well, here’s the problem. We have the government telling us we don’t have rights over our bodies in this farce they call security, yet these same people claim that ‘choice’ is a constitutionally guaranteed right, and supplants all other rights. For all of you who don’t want to use your brain: you can’t have it both ways. We either have rights over our own bodies or we don’t. But as usual, the lefties and the rest that do our thinking for us have come up with convoluted and asinine ‘explanations’ for the blatant violation of personal rights. Do you really believe a 3 year old understands being ‘touched in private places’ is ok in the name of supposed national security? Does it change the fact a man is forced to watch his wife being touched in ways that are Biblically reserved only for him, and by ‘law’ cannot do anything about it? This is absolutely sick, and if we don’t wake up and do something about it, very bad things will happen because we didn’t stand up for ourselves.
It seems appropriate for the women in these lines to use the Roe defense. What is the Roe defense, you may ask? The Roe defense is simply the ability to tell these people ‘paws off my body’. Or another way of putting it could be: “you may personally think I’m a terrorist, but that is your personal opinion, and don’t inflict your beliefs onto me”. After all, the Roe defense is ‘guaranteed’ by the constitution, and is considered ‘the law of the land, that trumps all other laws’. In fact, maybe the women in line all ought to say they are flying to procure an abortion, and these searches and ‘pat downs’ are the pro lifers attempt to scare them off from obtaining what is ‘legally their right to have’. After all, how does one really know if the TSA agents are not really those cantankerous pro lifers in disguise? Who knows, with that excuse, maybe the women will be put in the front, and given first class seats.
It’s interesting that the justification used to violate the personal rights of innocent Americans in the name of safety and security is the same as violating the intrinsic right to life of pre born babies for the sake of convenience. In both cases, we are lead to believe that legalizing some behaviors automatically makes them safer, and that those individuals who are in charge of administering said services are of the highest caliber and morality when considering their motives in being in this line of work to begin with. We are finding out that both the abortion industry and the TSA primarily sees their ‘victims’ as cattle, and show a great deal of contempt for those who dare question what they are doing, and the means in which they supposedly do their jobs. As the saying goes “Birds of a feather flock together’. Immoral orders bequeath immoral behaviors.
We all need to think long and hard about the country that is emerging from the continual paranoia garbage thrown our way. How soon will it be that we give all our freedoms away, in the name of security or fear? The death of common sense has lead to the death of passion, and the death of knowing right from wrong. 81% of Americans believe the TSA is correct in their ‘searches’ despite the fact that if this were done in ANY OTHER VENUE the people doing the groping would be charged with felonies. Somehow, are people really going to shut off their sensibilities, and yes, strong intuitions and feelings that this is wrong, because it is ‘national security’? Sounds the same as “it’s not life; it’s only a blob of tissue, no big deal” Oh, why didn’t you say that earlier? For that matter, take my children away, because it’s really about them learning how to properly enter society. Take away my retirement, because I’m too stupid to do it myself. Tell me what to eat, because I’ll get fat and die from too poor of a diet and no exercise.
We need to wake up fast and soon. Enough is enough, and if we don’t speak up soon, we may find we no longer have the ability to speak for ourselves at all. After all, the most innocent of us are already executed en masse, and it seems fewer are willing to do much for them as the time goes by. The insanity needs to end, but it requires sanity to recognize the insanity, and then one needs to have the guts to do something about the insanity, and the majority who accepts the insanity as sanity.
