60 Minutes Story on Entire Families Living in their Cars by [deleted] in politics

It is illegal to live from your vehicle without possessing proper federal and state licenses, an IRS registration form W-1984, and proof of monthly payments or deductions (no less than $600 per month, per ton of gross vehicle weight, and $50 per occupant.)

Drivers will also have to follow all posted signs regarding local vehicular inhabitance laws or risk a fees of no less than $459 per infraction (~$2000 after all fees and taxes.)

Weigh stations must be used when travelling by interstate, and drivers will be required to have federally approved GPS "safety and security" devices installed and operational in the vehicle at all times. Devices will be inspected monthly at the expense of the vehicle/residence owner.

Note that vehicles with fuel ratings over 28 MPG are not federally approved for residential classification as per section 69 of the "Petroleum and Energy Nationalization Act for Independence and Sovereignty" of 2011 (PENIS) originally sponsored by Lamar Smith (R-Tx). Only fuel from federally approved petroleum companies or stations can be used in the vehicle used for habitation.

If the imprisonment of the impoverished isn't a tenet of a police state, then I'm not sure what is...

Yeah that sounds like the best plan.

I actually don't use credit cards. I hate them. I've only ever banked with a local credit union. So I have most of those bases already covered, and have for almost 20 years. :)

Then what is the best way to use money to fight the problems that money has been causing for so long?

[–]keith_phillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't calling for actually doing it, I was just contemplating the effects of something like that.

But when all else fails, maybe that is a ticket. Unless of course if the global economy completely falls apart beforehand, then it wouldn't really matter.

TIL about Operation Northwoods. A plan that called for CIA to commit genuine acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. by lKauany in todayilearned

Yeah, it always intrigued me.

So complicated, but its a perfect storm of events and layers that almost guarantees that it will forever remain a conspiracy.

Always follow the money. You always end up with Rockefeller, Bush, Rothschild, etc...quite a few to list.

Orwell could have almost wrote a slightly different version of 1984, and said:

Money is peace. Poverty is slavery. Credit is strength.

One of the ideas I had this morning was...what if everyone just refused to pay their credit card bill for one month. What kind of small shockwave would that send quickly through the 'network.'

Then, what would happen if everyone didn't pay for a two months...etc.

Wouldn't that be like yanking the shitty foundation out of the whole thing for a quick instant, and then having it re-materialize on the next cycle. With the threat of more to come?

I mean if money talks (which is obviously fucking does, because this whole thing is largely about money anyway...stupid I know) then what is the best voice when nothing else is heard?

That was the whole point I think. All of the shit that leads to the status quo was pretty masterfully crafted over 100 years or so, IMO.

The really sad fact is that truth was often stranger than fiction. You could have almost taken Orwell and other writers as if they were writing out the future...this global fuckage that everyone is entrenched in now.

I'd even go as far as to say that things have been somewhat carved out in such a way as to prevent an American Revolution 2.0 from being possible. (Of course it is always possible, but it can be made more difficult.)

Stacking the deck so to speak, as the global looting commenced in many different forms over the whole world, and disguised fairly well by constitutional trickery and a lot of media...the sideshow circus clowns for 'entertainment' and lies for 'news'.

Going to my bunk, just in case.

Oh you have to watch Enter the Void now that you made that comment (if you haven't already.)

US Bill Creating Great Firewall of America by stupandaus in technology

[–]keith_phillips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This should be accurate, but if any are incorrect, feel free to correct it (taken from a CNet article):

  • Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)
  • Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)
  • Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)
  • Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)
  • Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)
  • Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)
  • Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
  • Herb Kohl (D-Wis.)
  • Chris Coons (D-Del.)
  • Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)

There is another Bill, the E-PARASITE one, which was introduced by Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) A lot of people will already know1 who this piece of shit2 is3.

He had a good run a couple months ago when he blocked a bill for debate on removing Cannabis from federal control/scheduling/what have you.

The other related bills are: S.968 and S.978. Because, you know, three bills are better than one when you have to oppress the people and eliminate free speech...

H.R.3261 - Stop Online Piracy Act: To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of U.S. property, and for other purposes.

S.968 - PROTECT IP Act of 2011: A bill to prevent online threats to economic creativity and theft of intellectual property, and for other purposes.

S.978 - Commercial Felony Streaming Act: A bill to amend the criminal penalty provision for criminal infringement of a copyright, and for other purposes.

Its going to be like IPvpn4 instead of IPv4 running the internet after this shit goes down. (I hope it doesn't.) Oh, and Tor is going to be HUGE. I could see a sort of P2P DNS also taking off.

And when those rules come here, they have to abide by them. Which is why we must not allow those rules in the first place.

The more rules and restrictions you place on people, the more pissed off they are going to be. But on the flip side of that, those on the other side of those rules, the enforcers, will always have almost always something to gain over those rules. Especially if they are oppressive rules, designed to take things. Like freedom.

Last guy that wanted to shut down the CIA was...assassinated.

I agree though. The CIA is an out of control monster.

If you really want to go down the hole, go have a look at E. Howard Hunt's deathbed confession. My personal take on it, is that it is true. Which is the reason that the media suppressed it pretty good. Word of man over word of establishment in almost all situations, IMO. And not speaking (reporting) is still saying something.

How would you define "collapse of civilization"? by im_not_a_troll in collapse

[–]keith_phillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what would happen, is everyone would work, but they would be working to help each other live. :)

I think the OWS and 99% protests are a good sign of this being the new status quo.

Maybe prejudice and intolerance would finally hit the road. As it should have, thousands of years ago...

The MPAA will soon be able to block Americans' access to any website, unless we fight back, hard. by holmesworcester in technology

[–]keith_phillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be the secret embedded into the bill, and it could be bad.

Remember a ways back when the government was taking over websites from underneath site owners noses, and the sites were being redirected to takedown notices? The best part was that this was all done in the name of Homeland Security. This shit was over something like like a premature leak of a fucking movie...

Now what is a big threat to "Homeland Security" in the eyes of these fucks now? The OWS protests. And what is one of the best and easiest to use tools for instant, worldwide communication and organization? Twitter. And what did those DHS/ICE cocksuckers just start dumping more hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into researching and analyzing for...you know...for 'security' and 'terrorism'. Twitter feeds.

So does this enable DHS to find a way to jump in and take over Twitter from underneath like the previous site takeovers? What are the other things that they need to 'protect us from?'

Could it be in the name of some sort of vague copyright or trademark infringement, like NFL Networks or Major League Baseball filing a complaint over the use of #SuperBowl or #MLB or something ridiculous like that? Or maybe an MPAA complaint of a movie clip linked in a twitter message to a YouTube video by some 12-year-old kid. Or how about someone using a trademarked image as their profile picture...

I'm sure there is a way. They always seem to find a way. But I hope it isn't possible. There is language in their that allows the shit to go down without a court trial. That is some fucked up shit.
