Announcing: A New Forum Just For The Malcontents!

Right now, I'm quite tired. I stayed up very late last night -- answering posts made by anonymous snipers -- and I only got three hours of sleep as a result. Now, I like this blog, and enjoy the give and take of a real debate, but, I like sleep even more. And I especially prefer sleep, over time wasted answering those who have no serious point to make, but merely wish to launch baseless attacks and heap ridicule on those who have real points to make, like me.

So, starting now, I'm cleaning up this place. There will be no more stupid, content free attacks made on anyone, regardless of the "side" they support. Nor will I tolerate foul language or gutter minded insinuations made about anyone who posts here. And, of course, if anyone posts an obvious libel, it will be promptly deleted from the blog.

I know this sounds like bad news for those various cowards who get such a thrill anonymously disrupting our attempts at serious discussion. But take heart, cowards of the county! I promised all of you "free speech." And that is exactly what you will get... just not on the "Giles Free Speech Zone!"

I've spared no effort to create an appropriate forum for those of you who wish to spend your time cursing, defaming, and sidetracking real debate. Want to be a part of my new forum? Well, all you have to do, is post something stupid or pointless here, and I'll quickly delete it, and repost it -- uncensored, and in all its glory -- at the new forum.

More rules, and explanation for these rules, will be posted in this thread later... as soon as I catch up on my sleep. Meanwhile, why don't you visit the new site -- The Mouthbreather Zone --- and see what a fine joint I've established for the unhappy folks who do nothing but complain here?

Oh yes... one more thing. As much fun as it sometimes is to verbally stomp on the cowardly anonymous posters who make hit and run attacks on me, I don't plan to engage in that sort of thing in the future. The new blog will simply be an online exile for the posters who refuse to obey the rules. An electronic "Siberia" for the mouthbreathers who have nothing better to do, than attempt to annoy people, and disrupt serious discussions. And by simply transferring their postings to the "Mouthbreather Zone" -- rather than rebutting them -- I'll have much more time to actually discuss the issues. And of course, more time to sleep... and that's a good thing!

First They Came For The Drug Dealers...

...but I did nothing, for I wasn't a drug dealer.

If you consider yourself a patriotic American citizen, you owe it to yourself to watch the video posted below! It's a tape recording of an incredibly brutal police torture of a suspected "drug dealer." Eugene Siler, a resident of Campbell County, Tennessee, was accused by a "confidential informant" of having drugs. Since nothing on Earth is worse than drugs -- other than state taxed booze, or pills pushed by Big Pharma -- police officers promptly executed a home invasion, and spent over two hours torturing Mr. Siler to "encourage" him to sign a "consent" form which would waver away his Constitutional rights.

I'm sure this sort of thing happens countless times in this nation -- how else can you fight a "war on drugs," other than by stomping on people's rights? -- but this time, there was a difference... the first forty minutes of the torture were secretly recorded by the victim's wife! Result? Several dirty officers pleading guilty and being sentenced to the Graybar Hotel, and a $19 Million judgment for the Siler family, courtesy of Tennessee taxpayers.

Watch the video, but be forewarned: the language used by these men in blue would make George Carlin blush. And you might find yourself getting queasy hearing Mr. Siler scream in agony as his testicles are electrocuted. (I suggest you turn your computer speakers up real loud, in order to get the full effect!) Also, please note that this audio recording is accompanied by a slideshow and some on-screen text, some of which is questionable, to be put it mildly. (Stuff like George Bush being a Satanist who worships an idol of a stone owl.) Also, please be aware that the first four and a half minutes, before the torture gets going, is drowned out by a very annoying loop of the "Bad Boys" song used on COPS. (I was just about to stop watching when it mercifully stopped.)

Please ignore these problems I've mentioned, and listen to the tape, which speaks for itself. Folks, this isn't Jack Bauer on "24!" This is the real thing... an innocent man (no drugs were ever found on him) being tortured and threatened with death by an evil gang of thugs wearing badges. Thugs who would've gotten away with their brutality, scott free, had the victim's wife not made the secret recording. Please watch (or just listen) so that you, as a Tennessee taxpayer, can see one of the ways your tax money is being spent.

Special bonus feature for watching all the way to the end: an absolutely surreal re-editing of George Bush's "state of the union speech," which looks and sounds amazingly authentic. I won't spoil it by describing what he "says" -- just watch it yourself and see!

George Carlin: Why Schools Will Always Suck

Can anyone dispute what he's saying? Warning: quite a bit of coarse language involved. Play video at your own risk. Do not play at work or around children.

MacDermid: School Funding Confusion

No one seems to want to tell the people what will happen when the new 25/75 school matching ratio of state BEP to local tax funding replaces the 35/65 old ratio.

A ninth grader tells us that 65 divided by 35 is 185.7%
& Then says 75 divided by 25 is 300%
& goes on to say that 300% divided by 185.7% is 161.6%
So, What?

He goes on to say multiply the 161.6% times the $16,426,136 in the 2006-7 BEP budgeted and you get $26,544,635 for BEP (what's a BEP?)

When asked so what? he says take the $26,544,635 and deduct the old way money of $16,426,136 & you'll know what's happening. So, What's happening?

He says, It's $10 million, 118,499! Everybody's eyes start popping out - What are we going to do with it? We don't know? Who knows? Should we just up and move everybody to Brentwood? Wonder who has figured this out? Help! -- Don MacDermid

WAB: Business as Usual With Bernetta?

On the night Mrs. Bernetta Houston resigned from the school board she made it a point to vote for an extension to the school directors contract then immediately after that she resigned with the statement she was taking a job out of the county. Now we find a possible payback for that vote, a new position with the school system making over $30,000 a year, not counting benefits, as an assistant to Mr. Ron Shirey. I hope teachers are satisfied with salaries. I suppose if they're not satisfied they could always apply to be assistants to someone in the main office. Oh well, I guess it's more important to make kids go to school than to teach them after they get there! Allen Barrett

WAB: The Outlaw Stoney Jackson

Why does Commissioner Stoney Jackson think he does not have to act within the law? On a number of occasions Commissioner Jackson has broken the state open meetings law and blatantly challenged others to do something about it. Knowing there are no real penalties for such violations he simply snubs his nose and continues on. Even when he has violated state law he has made such comments as "What are they gonna do, put us in jail?" Tonight Commissioner Jackson advised the County Education Committee to commit to spending over a hundred thousand dollars on Sam Davis Park without so much as a bid. His comment that by contacting more than one company to find out what they would charge for stadium seats would be a sufficient substitute for bidding was almost as dumb as stating that by requesting the information on the internet it would be the same as advertising for bids. How long will the people of this county put up with such behavior? Allen Barrett

WAB: The Ambulance Service's Financial Hemorrhage

Recently the County Commission gave the ambulance service $250,000 to open a station in the north end of the county. This was not discussed and approved in the budget committee as procedures require. Now they have come back after realizing there was more coin in the trough and were given another $35,000 to cover benefits. So for this one station we are committed to $285,000 per year. Is the same amount allocated for the Elkton station? With a budget now well over a million dollars why is the ambulance service in such turmoil? Why is there such a large amount of un-collected fees? What could possibly be the justification in asking for a 40% pay increase for one employee while acknowledging others who work in the same department are being paid so little? Allen Barrett

Exposing the Income Tax Fraud

I know it will blow most people's minds, but the truth is that there is no federal law on the books requiring ordinary wage earners to pay any tax on their "income." The income tax is actually a tax on "business profits" and "interest income," not ordinary wages. Of course the IRS uses lies and intimidation to make people think they owe taxes on their paychecks, but, when they are painted into a corner, they are unable to point to a clearcut LAW which requires tax payment on wages. In fact, just the other day Tom Cryer, a Lousiana lawyer who refused to pay taxes without being shown a law requiring them, won a case that had been brought against him by the IRS.

I'll bet you never hear about this story in the mainstream, liberal newsmedia. And it's very likely you've never heard about the following documentary, which exposes the fact that the IRS is nothing but a collection of liars, theives, and extortionists:



But be careful if you decide to stop paying taxes! Sure, nonpayment is the legal thing to do, considering the fact that the IRS cannot (even in a court of law!) point to a valid law authorizing their tyranny and thieving. And yes, nonpayment is certainly the morally right thing to do, considering how your tax dollars are generally spent on quite immoral projects....

But, the bottom line is, if you don't pay, you're likely to get in a whole lot of trouble. Neither the law, nor the Constitution, really matters these days... not with most judges being corrupt rationalizers for tyranny. Nonpayment of taxes is therefore a risky business. And if you don't believe me, why don't you ask tax protester Gordon Kahl? Oops... too late to do that! Kahl was already murdered by the federal jackboots, as you will see by watching this documentary:



UPDATE (8-02-2007) It looks like Google Video purged the aforementioned documentary, "Death and Taxes" from their servers. (I wonder if the kindly federal government leaned on them?) Like the anti-IRS comedy "Harry's War," this movie seems to be impossible to find. So, I'm replacing the link to "Death and Taxes" with one about the "Ed Brown IRS Standoff."

Ed Brown is a tax-resister in the "Live Free or Die" state, New Hampshire. In order to make an example for the rest of us, federal snipers will soon be giving Ed and his wife the "Gordon Kahl treatment." How do I know this? Because the mainstream news media insists on calling their concrete home a "compound." That's a sure sign that the Browns are about to get snuffed! Watch the video, and get to know these utterly doomed people... then ask yourself if they really deserve to die, simply to collect a tax which the government, in its own courts, cannot even prove is legal?

Federal Tyranny and Stupidity Knows No Bounds!

Is that bottle of 7% iodine in your medicine chest getting a little low? Well, you'd better buy more iodine -- TODAY -- if you think you'll ever want to use any in the future. Why? Because the morons at the Drug Enforcement Agency have (without asking Congress, let alone the public) grabbed more unConstitutional power for themselves, and banned this useful substance, effective August 1, 2007.

So, buy now, or forever hold your peace!

Isn't it ironic that, in a government chock full of drug users (Clinton and Bush Jr are famous cocaine fiends, Al Gore and countless others admit to using pot -- and Barack Obama is a former crackhead!) so much effort is made to "stamp out" illegal drugs? Well, here's one reason that happens:



The stupidity of banning concentrated iodine is truly remarkable, even by the very low standards of the federal government! The Keystone Kops of the DEA apparently don't realize that anyone with enough on the ball to manufacture "meth" would have no trouble figuring out how to convert 2.2% iodine (which is still legal, for now) into the dreaded 7% variety. All it takes is a little boiling, so I guess the next unConstitutional regulation will be to ban bunsen burners, and laboratory glasswares. How wonderful it is to have a Big Brother Nanny Government to protect us from all risks in life! I tell you, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over-- doesn't it you?
