[L. Neil and other KABA pointers at end]

Whale - Vaccination: a wealth of information on the medical politics of vaccination. Wow! They also have a cancer page. And much more. Cancer Politics is especially enlightening. From their Smallpox page: [grabbe]

It is pathetic and ludicrous to say we ever vanquished smallpox with vaccines, when only 10% of the population was ever vaccinated. -- Dr Glen Dettman
There is no question but that perfect sanitation has almost obliterated this disease, and sooner or later will dispose of it entirely. Of course, when that time comes, in all probability the credit will be given to vaccination. -- John Tilden MD

Read their Comment & Disclaimer page for a good overview.

Probably 20% of American children--one youngster in five--suffers from "development disability". This is a stupefying figure... We have inflicted it on ourselves... "development disabilities" are nearly always generated by encephalitis. And the primary cause of encephalitis in the USA and other industrialised countries is the childhood vaccination program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of US children and adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other shoots or branches of the hydraheaded entity called "development disabilities", owe their disorders to one or another of the vaccines against childhood diseases. -- Harris Coulter.

Jerry Pournelle's Current View - Wednesday, August 23, 2000 Hehe.

SURPRISE! Janet Reno decides not to investigate the Chinese and Buddhist Temple fund raising cases. Amazing. Astounding.

Donna Leinwand at USA Today - When kids share drugs with their parents: apparently lots of boomer parents are sharing joints or harder drugs with their teenagers. Ms. Leinwand thinks this is a bad idea. I'm not big on drug usage, and don't use any drugs but coffee and sugar myself, but hey, marijuana is practically harmless. Toke up, folks. [unknown]

Declan McCullagh at Wired - Only News That's Fit to Link: commentary on Herr Kaplan's ruling that forced 2600 to not only remove DeCSS from their web site, but to remove all direct links to it. 2600 has responded to the letter of the ruling. They removed the links, but left the unlinked URLs. Good for them. [/.]

J.J. Johnson at Sierra Times - J. J. Johnson Candidate for U.S. Senate: Mr. Johnson is running for senate in Nevada. Here is part one of his beliefs. I agree with him on most of his beliefs, only moreso. [sierra]

I have the unfortunate habit of saying things that many other people think, but won't dare say publicly for fear of media scrutiny, or worse. For instance, earlier this year, I wrote an editorial about the State-Sponsored Thugs who kidnapped Elian Gonzalez in Miami. My exact quote was, "...those officers should have been shot."

L. Neil Smith at KeepAndBearArms.com - The Zeroth Amendment: L. Neil puts some teeth in Bill of Rights Enforcement. [kaba]

I. Any public official or employee who, knowingly or unknowingly, violates -- or participates in the violation of -- any provision of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution shall, in full public view and over such media as exist at the time, be hanged by the neck until he is dead.
II. The word "he" is not to be construed so as to exclude female public officials or employees.
III. This amendment, upon ratification, shall be inserted in the Constitution just before the First Amendment.
...
This is the enforcement clause we've needed all along.
And it's an educational exercise, too. Can you imagine the lesson to be learned in a future nation that has ratified this amendment, watching creatures like Charles Schumer and Diane Feinstein dancing on the hemp, their tongues swollen and their eyes bulging out of their sockets?
Can you imagine a gun control poll even being conducted in such a nation?

John Reynolds at KeepAndBearArms.com - A Patriot's Last Stand: "You Don't Know Jack!": This one must have come out shortly after the Elian Gonzalez kidnapping, but I haven't seen it before. Mr. Reynolds describes the preparations his friend "Jack" has made for the storming of his home by the American gestapo. [kaba]

The I.N.S. (I-nternal N-azi S-tormtrooper) raid on the family of Elian Gonzalez was a horrible demonstration of what the federal government really thinks about our U.S. Constitution, but let me pose a hypothetical question: what if each and every protester outside the Gonzalez household had a gun in their possession, and moreover, what if each and every member of the family inside the house had a gun on their hip, would Janet Reno and the INS have risked another Waco, or would they have backed off and just let the scheduled May 11th hearing take place without such tyrannical intervention? The answer to that question is of course, a crap-shoot. But Americans now find themselves in the same kind of situation as our ancestor-colonists found themselves in 1775, faced with an arrogant and dictatorial government which no longer respects the law, tramples on human rights, taxes with impunity and without accountability, and without effective and adequate representation. What did our ancestors do? The answer my friends, is "Lexington and Concord". Do we have the courage to stand up and resist an even greater tyranny today, a tyranny that masquerades as the very government we established in freedom so long ago?

History

Quotes

Government doesn't work. Never did. Never will. Can't. But there are lots of good people. Love them.

-- Bill St. Clair

The Atlanta Declaration

Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.

-- L. Neil Smith

Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

-- L. Neil Smith

A Penalty Clause for the Bill of Rights

Any official, appointed or elected, at any level of government, who attempts, through legislative act or other means, to nullify, evade, or avoid the provisions of the first ten amendments to this Constitution, or of the Thirteenth Amendment, shall be summarily removed from office, and, upon conviction, deprived of all pay and benefits including pension, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

-- L. Neil Smith

Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents.

-- John Lott, commenting on the National Academy of Sciences report on gun control laws.

Who is a libertarian?

Zero Aggression Principle ("Zap")

"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim."

-- L. Neil Smith

(Formerly called the "Non-Aggression Principle", or "NAP")

Why Did It Have to be... Guns?

Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

-- L. Neil Smith

Concise

"Tell me," I was once asked, "What do you think about gun control? Give me the short answer." To which I replied, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you."

-- Mike Vanderboegh

Also from The Atlanta Declaration:

... like going to the bathroom, breathing, eating, sleeping, or making love, it turns out that self-defense is a bodily function one cannot safely or effectively delegate to a second party.

-- L. Neil Smith

This does not mean that "Marijuana should be available by prescription." It means that morphine sulfate should be available in five pound bags at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, like sugar... but probably in a different aisle, to avoid confusion.

-- Vin Suprynowicz

If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law.

-- Edward Abbey

The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn't wrong if it's called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn't wrong if it's called arrest, that mass murder isn't wrong if it's called war.

-- Bill St. Clair
