Was the "Greatest Generation" wrong for killing the NAZIs?
U.S. CITIZENS: PAST AND PRESENT NAZI-HANDLING METHODS
The joke is that a BAR is a Browning Automatic Rifle. That's one of the tools the "greatest generation" used to wipe out the NAZIs. Here's one below:
Each of those shots is 30.06 caliber. The weapon had a box magazine of 20 rounds. One of those shots will kill you, a burst from the weapon - toast.
Why did the "greatest generation" use weapons like the BAR to kill NAZIs? I'm starting to wonder if the history books and people I knew as a kid who participated in the conflict might have had a problem with self-control or something? Why?
Americans of the "greatest generation" refused to tolerate NAZIs. In fact, when the "greatest generation" noticed uniformed jack-booted thugs, bullies, miscreants, thieves, liars, child-molesters and murderers behaving badly - they built the Jeep, the P-51 Mustang, the M1 Garand, the BAR and then promptly used them to shoot the shit out of those "ver are your papers" smartasses.
Fast forward - today - Americans of the "___________ generation" (what will they call US?) seem able to tolerate NAZIs quite well. They can stand in line at the airport, on a bus, on the side of the highway and observe while their dog is shot-gunned to death for wagging its tail. They bury the dog, try to comfort the kids - and say a prayer hoping the thugs that did this to them will get well soon.
They will "get mad" when TSA people take their little princess behind closed doors and ..... hey I'm not sure what they are doing back there - I wasn't there and I haven't seen any footage. Here's an example of NAZIs run amok in America:
"'When my scared child could not do so, two TSOs called for backup saying, "The suspect is not cooperating." The suspect, of course, being a frightened child. They treated my daughter no better than if she had been a terrorist.'"
Here's the "suspect" from the above article:
![]() |
Full body pat-down or Hey little girl want some candy? SICK |
TSA: ONLY NAZIs AND CHILD MOLESTERS NEED APPLY?
C'mon - really? This is SICK.
I know this is a terrible thing to say - but isn't it reasonable to conclude that if you like putting your hands on other people's children behind closed doors that the best place to get a job is with the TSA? That's a no-brainer. They murder child molesters in prison you know. But here in the "civilized world" we watch them molest the kids right in front of us. What does that say about our justice system -that there really is a more just system of crime and punishment in a prison than at an airport in the US?
I am glad that so many people are waking up in such vast numbers - that the mother - instead of resorting to picking up a BAR and doing what the "greatest generation" would have done - used the peaceful process of communication to get the word out about the SICK incident.
I am so glad that we still have our first amendment right - not that it can be taken away - but that I am still able to exercise it without having been shot yet - good news - because presently there is no need for violence - as long as I can do battle on the field of facts, ideas, right, justice - what is good and right and just are obvious to us all. I mean ALL of us - a universal statement. How can I make such a statement that we ALL KNOW what is right or wrong, just or unjust, liberty or slavery? Easy - just experience the force of law as applied to you or your kids - you'll figure it out fast.
DO UNTO OTHERS?
If you are a TSA employee - do you want somebody feeling your kids' or wives' genitals? Or say - a Judge in Virginia - do you go to the airport and stand there while they feel your kids and wife up? How about Cass Sunstein - does he want to have a SWAT team kick his door down, kill his chihuahua, slap his kids around - then leave 'cause they went to the wrong house? How about Michael Cherthoff - you know - Mr. Airport Scanner - does he go to the airport and take a radiation shower with the rest of the inmates?
GEOMETRIC AWAKENING IS ACCELERATING
The great awakening is bringing forth new ideas - the power of mass communictions in the hands of WE the People -continues to surround, divide and conquer the power-hungry megalomaniacs that have pushed us this far toward dictatorship.
ONCE VISION IS RESTORED - IT'S EASY TO SEE MORE DETAILS
I am very proud of our Virginia state representatives that passed a law - positive action - that they will not allow state anybody to assist with NDAA. A commenter pointed out that they didn't go far enough - stating that they will use force to protect their citizens rights from anyone attempting to use force to deny their citizens their rights. I agree - but something tells me - that as events are accelerating geometrically - as these representatives have already waken up - their ability to see with their newly corrected vision - will rapidly take hold - just like the rest of us who are already there.
Once a person can see clearly at least one big injustice - however that happens - the rest move from out-of-range to arm's length immediately. Once a person realizes they have been lied to about one subject - something they just wouldn't consider before - but now know for a FACT that they were lied to - it brings into question EVERYTHING - their powers of critical thought advanced from a dull butter knife to a honed razor - keen for more truth-light - eager to slash the dark curtain they can now not only see - but have the means to slice through to more light.
There is no question - that this awakening is hitting that critical-mass - it can not be stopped now.
THE FUTURE
The "greatest generation" - and our generation both have that "ace in the hole" known as the second amendment. Both have no real desire to ever use it. But there it is - like a line-backer friend standing behind you - as you are just about to be slugged by a bully - then all of a sudden - the bully decides he'd better not take the chance.
We the People are being bullied, Tazered, taxed, robbed by the Federal Reserve, and pushed into a corner by a goon-squad of unprofessional and justice-system backed liberty-theives. On the battlefield of ideas - via the exercise of freedom of speech - they are losing.
We the People are pointing out the hypocrisy of the holy ones - the absurdity, for example, of nuking Iran to prevent a nuclear war. Who's idea was that? Lock that nut up in a rubber room!
We the People are pointing out that our own Justice Department has been caught selling guns to drug-dealers - and those guns were in turn used to murder innocent Mexicans and at least one US Border agent. Who's idea was that? Lock that nut up in a rubber room!
We the People have been lied to about the Iraq war - no WMD - just devastated the place and the people - for nothing - and are successfully preventing a repeat performance in Iran - pointing out that we are watching a re-run made-for-TV propaganda film with no basis in fact.
We the People are sounding the alarm that our own government may stage yet another false-flag attack to stampede the US population into another panicked state - starting WW3 - a war that has been in the planning for years.
We the People will stop the Tyranny - as long as we exercise our freedom of speech and allow our creative powers to use every means available to prompt action from those in our system with the responsibility and power to act now to stop these psychopathic warmongers.
The future is bright - the judges will choose to lock up the corrupt cops who like to murder for fun. The judges will lock up the crooks on Wall Street who have pillaged. The cops will police themselves and eject the evil-minded and violent thugs from their ranks - such qualities will be shunned not rewarded.
Our military will remember their true purpose - their real reason for being - and stop biting the hand that feeds them. They will ask themselves why these words appear on this patch - but the people signing their paycheck are oppressed?
CONCLUSION
The Greatest Generation was right for killing the NAZIs - it got to that point. Hopefully we can convince those in power in the United States to do their damned jobs so we don't get to that point again.

EU bans 'naked' airport security scanners after cancer fears
"Research suggests up to 100 US airline passengers a year could get cancer from the scanners."

Note: I wonder why this equipment is not regulated by the same bodies that regulate medical imaging equipment.
Perhaps there is a "good" side to all of this. We may be observing a "self-correcting" system - where the TSA actually kills itself off with their own radiation over time.
Radiation dose is cumulative. So they just stand there day in and day out and I suppose get their fair share of the "backscatter" or whatever radiation abounds. Eventually the TSA at the airports should all die of cancer - eliminating themselves from the liberty equation.
Where are the insurance companies on this one I wonder? AFter all they will have to pony up the cash to the bereaved as these workers start to bite the dust. Why aren't the greedy insurance companies ditching these huge liabilities - these TSA "agents?"

Arrested: Woman refused to let officers screen daughter
"“No, it’s not an X-ray,” she told Abbott. “It is 10,000 times safer than your cell phone and uses the same type of radio waves as a sonogram.”"

It's comforting to know that our safety is in the hands of the stupidest among us who assure us with words they, themselves, do not understand or cannot define. No surprise - after all - no one has yet defined "war on terror" and everybody seems to be going along with that.

TSA Admits Bungling of Airport Body-Scanner Radiation Tests
"A recent Wired.com three-part series examined the constitutionality, effectiveness and health concernsof the scanners, which the TSA mandated as the preferred airport screening method in February 2009. Among other things, the Wired.com series concluded that there was discord among the scientific community about the scanners’ health risks to humans, and that they were not tested with mice or other biological samples before being deployed."

Jesse Ventura walks the walk on TSA crapola. Do you have the guts to follow his leadership?
*pic from here
Sorry to bring this up - but we must revisit history if we are to learn its lessons. Smart people learn from history so as to avoid repeating mistakes - big ones - like the one that happened in Germany under the NAZIs. The slow incremental slide into dictatorship has been likened to the slow drip of an anesthetic - just a little bit at a time - until the full effect over time leaves one wondering - how in the hell did things get to this point? Incrementalism.
It is important to recognize incrementalism for what it is. The first exposure is shocking. The second ain't so bad. The third seems normal. Jesse Ventura recognized this incremental desensitization as he repeatedly submitted to the airline TSA goofery. After reflecting on his state of mind after having repeatedly submitted to this idiocy- he realized that he was becoming accustomed to being treated like a head of cattle. Yes - becoming accustomed to blind obedience and submission is dangerous indeed. He recognized that. Do you?
He's a veteran and former governor. He is the only person to effectively get the so-called truth movement information - (erroneously labeled as conspiracy theory) onto the mainstream media.
There is one thing you need to understand my friend - if you are not willing to sacrifice - you cannot have anything. If you are not willing to say "no" you cannot be free. If you cannot say "f#ck you" to a groping idiot in a uniform - you cannot say you are a free citizen.
Jesse Ventura has set the example for YOU. He is no longer going to fly due to the "in your pants" NAZI grope-search. Oh - and if you think YOU need to fly - I really doubt you need to fly more than Jesse Ventura.
Jesse Ventura puts his principals first, profit second - and although I don't know anything of the amounts of money involved - I am willing to bet that he is sacrificing more money than the average person. But the point is that he has decided to take the ultimatum of that Janet Napolinazo to either comply or fly.
Jesse Ventura is doing YOUR JOB FOR YOU! He knew he was incrementally being sucked into a NAZI system and extracted himself. HE IS SETTING THE EXAMPLE FOR YOU! FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE!
IF YOU LET ANYONE TOUCH YOUR KID - DO NOT EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER ASK JACK RABBIT FOR ANY RESPECT BECAUSE YOU DESERVE NONE.
.
Look at the kids on the swings in the prison - WTF???

Score: Prisoners 1 Airline Passengers 0
Is it because the prisoners have better lawyers/representation than citizens of a free republic? Is it because prisoners are faced daily with the grim reality that a willingness to fight is the only guarantor of self-preservation? Or is it simply because America really has become a police state - plain and simple?
Wait - what am I talking about? Consider (CLICK) this article regarding a recent lawsuit won by prisoners strip-searched:
"The Cook County Board today approved a $55.3 million settlement in a class-action civil lawsuit alleging that thousands of inmates at the county jail were improperly strip searched....
The attorneys representing the former jail inmates will be paid $15 million, Driscoll said. The rest will go to up to 400,000 inmates jailed between Jan. 30, 2004 and March 19, 2009."
Now consider this article describing the pat-down of a toddler:
" Why was Mandy searched in the first place? She started crying when she was asked to put her teddy bear through the X-ray machine. This made it difficult for her to walk calmly through the metal detector and she set the machine off twice, which meant she "must be hand-searched."
Finally - and I ask you to remember the lawsuit mentioned above - won by the prisoners - look at the actions of the TSA regarding a man who recently refused their insane paranoia-based groping of the American citizenry:
"The Transportation Security Administration has opened an investigation targeting John Tyner, the Oceanside man who left Lindbergh Field under duress on Saturday morning after refusing to undertake a full body scan.

Tyner recorded the half-hour long encounter on his cell phone and later posted it to his personal blog, along with an extensive account of the incident. The blog went viral, attracting hundreds of thousands of readers and thousands of comments.
Michael J. Aguilar, chief of the TSA office in San Diego, called a news conference at the airport Monday afternoon to announce the probe. He said the investigation could lead to prosecution and civil penalties of up to $11,000."
You see, my fellow Americans. You are being methodically, systematically, incrementally cowed to obey, obey obey!!! To follow orders without question - abandoning your individualism, your self-respect - and your instinctive drive to protect yourself and your loved ones.
America is at a crossroads. America is a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. YOU are "the people."
We can no longer participate in a system that asks us to surrender our rights in order to protect our rights. Not now, not ever.
Say NO to the police state. The more voices the better. Oh, and by the way: they ARE PUTTING THEIR HANDS DOWN YOUR PANTS!!!

Video: Mom upset about daughter's full body security scan experience
Read entire article HERE.
"Her 12-year-old daughter, whom she did not want to appear on camera, was at Tampa International Airport on vacation with a family friend when a TSA officer chose her.
"It's an image of a nude child that they're seeing. This is child pornography whether people want to believe this or not. How is this any different," said Nemphos. "
-----
Note: It seems to me that the best place to work if you are a pedophile is at the TSA since there is no penalty for viewing child porn - an activity that otherwise would be criminal. Legally viewing child porn as a TSA "naked body scanner" operator may be the perfect cover,and a life-saver, since convicted pedophiles get murdered in prison. This TSA job is a "stay out of jail free card" for those interested in viewing naked children.
The war on terror has finally transformed America into a police state where obedient and docile robots are expected to obey any command of "authority figures" immediately and without question. The penalty for asserting one's rights - or even applying common sense can range from travel delays to Tasering, from arrest to being shot.
We cannot continue to pretend that a person in a uniform gawking at the naked body of a twelve-year-old girl is "protecting" the girl or the country. One can certainly conclude that a TSA person viewing their naked 12-year-old daughter is NOT protecting that daughter from pedophiles. Child porn is child porn.
Don't fool yourselves - the very people that want to look at naked kids are going to be attracted to these "jobs" allowing them to legally look at your naked kids - and some of them WILL get through.
So where is your limit? Will you obey when it is your child's turn?

The Tyranny Of Government And Our Duty Of Confidentiality As Bloggers - with Patriot's commentary
I came across an article (this post shares title) referring to a recent attempt by the TSA to force bloggers to reveal their source. The article criticizes one blogger for handing over his laptop. Where do you stand on the issue? You may wish to read this excellent article here. From the article:
" Anyone working with Frischling now knows that he’ll respect your confidentiality, just so long as it’s not inconvenient to his liberty. And that’s not respect at all. He let all bloggers down the other day when he willingly handed over his computer to the government. It was his duty to stand up to those agents, and even spend time in jail. Perhaps if he fought the whole situation in court it would lead to stronger laws protecting all bloggers. But Frischling didn’t do that, and the tyranny of our government went unchecked once more.
If I’m ever in the same situation as Steven Frischling I hope I have the courage to do what’s right. Not just what’s right for me right then."
---
What situation was Frischling in? CLICK HERE for the story - here's an excerpt:
" As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.
TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public."
----------
So - the TSA won't hesitate to insist that journalists reveal their sources - trampling on our freedom of the press - excused once again, and exactly like past dictatorships, because we are amidst yet another panic attack in an endless train of "emergencies" requiring forfeiture of our inalienable rights (an oxymoron) in exchange for "safety." Wait - didn't a famous patriot warn us... Enter the illustrious UNDERWEAR BOMBER! Click on the caps in the last sentence for a picture of the firecracker we are supposed to believe is more dangerous than tyranny! What a load of crap!
But did the losers at the crazed TSA fire anybody for letting a guy on an airplane carrying, no, not a passport, but a small explosive device? Did any heads roll for their gross incompetence? As far as I know, the answer to that question is NO.
Perhaps this snippet from cbs is revealing regarding the actions vs. words problem we have with our trusted Federal "protectors" :
" Brennan didn't say whether anyone is in line to be fired because of the oversights. He stood by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, although he acknowledged she has "taken some hits" for saying that the airline security system had worked. It didn't, and she clarified her remarks to show she meant that the system worked only after the attack was foiled, Brennan said."
So in other words, what they are really telling us is that the TSA, despite FAILURE, is doing a fine job. Just take all your clothes off, bend over and shut the hell up - we're from the government and we're here to help. Help what? We're here to let people onto airplanes with explosive devices while applying match to Bill of Rights. After all it's just a f*&^ing sheet of paper with faded ink! Now go back to sleep, back to work, pay your taxes and relax because it is unpatriotic to ask why we, the TSA, are the most expensive F-ups in the universe.
I'd call this laughable if it weren't such an obvious slap in the face of shoe-less and bottled-water deficient, bladder-ready-to-burst airline passengers whose liberty is being systematically stolen. These "public servants" have been given carte blanche to "protect" us - they've even been given the power to trample on our Bill of Rights- and what do we get in return? FAILURE WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
You've heard the slogan "Freedom is Not Free" - do you "walk the walk" or just "talk the talk?" Listen to some quotes below from those who provided our mechanism of government. Those who risked it all to establish the anti-tyrannical-check-and-balance system being dismantled before our very eyes. A Republic - a government of the people, by the people, and for the people - whose primary purpose is the protection of our rights. And this same government is insisting on the surrender of those very rights they are sworn to protect! Does the word "disconnect" come to mind? Does the the word "bullsh#t" come to mind? Does the word "tyranny" come to mind? Does "all of the above" come to mind?
So, my fellow citizen, will you just sit there and take it - living in synthetic pre-packaged fear?

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Ben Franklin said: " Outside Independence Hall when
the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended,

"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

Now go back to sleep, back to work, pay your taxes and relax because it is unpatriotic to ask why we, the TSA, are the most expensive F-ups in the universe.
I'd call this laughable if it weren't such an obvious slap in the face of shoe-less and bottled-water deficient, bladder-ready-to-burst airline passengers whose liberty is being systematically stolen. These "public servants" have been given carte blanche to "protect" us - they've even been given the power to trample on our Bill of Rights- and what do we get in return? FAILURE WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
You've heard the slogan "Freedom is Not Free" - do you "walk the walk" or just "talk the talk?" Listen to some quotes below from those who provided our mechanism of government. Those who risked it all to establish the anti-tyrannical-check-and-balance system being dismantled before our very eyes. A Republic - a government of the people, by the people, and for the people - whose primary purpose is the protection of our rights. And this same government is insisting on the surrender of those very rights they are sworn to protect! Does the word "disconnect" come to mind? Does the the word "bullsh#t" come to mind? Does the word "tyranny" come to mind? Does "all of the above" come to mind?
So, my fellow citizen, will you just sit there and take it - living in synthetic pre-packaged fear?
Ben Franklin said: "We must hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately."
Ben Franklin also said: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Thomas Jefferson said: " The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive."
Thomas Paine said: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Common Sense, January 10, 1776
Thomas Paine says : "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - The American Crisis, No. 4, September 11, 1777
Thomas Paine says: "I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." - The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776
"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - The American Crisis, No. 1, December 19, 1776
Patrick Henry said: " Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Ben Franklin said: " Outside Independence Hall when
the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended,
Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin,
"Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,
"A republic, if you can keep it." "

Will you, my fellow "citizen", my fellow "freedom lover" - will you indeed KEEP IT?

Airports tighten security after failed terror attempt (everywhere except where it matters)
Read more here:
" Officials in the Mideast and in India said they were maintaining their current procedures, which they said were already high.
Little was different at the airport in Lagos, Nigeria, where the man's trip originated. Soldiers impassively stared at those passing into the departure terminal Saturday. Others sat and talked among themselves, loaded rifles tossed over their shoulders.
Passengers moved quickly through security, waiting only for immigration officers to examine passports and visas. A battered X-ray machine quickly passed over suitcases and shoes. Federal airport authority spokesman spokesman Akin Olukunle said the airport had no bomb-sniffing dogs but was considering getting some."

Note: This oughta' keep America scared and docile for a while.
