Overnight Open Thread (4-20-2015)
As with sexuality, we're regulating parenting according to the obsessions of neurotic upper-middle-class white women. And that's not working out very well.
-- Instapundit on the continual harassment of 'free range' parents in Maryland.
Wisconsin's Shame: 'I Thought It Was a Home Invasion'
Ace already covered this but read the whole thing if you haven't. This is what fascism landed in America looks like.
For the family of "Rachel" (not her real name), the ordeal began before dawn - with the same loud, insistent knocking. Still in her pajamas, Rachel answered the door and saw uniformed police, poised to enter her home.When Rachel asked to wake her children herself, the officer insisted on walking into their rooms. The kids woke to an armed officer, standing near their beds.
The entire family was herded into one room, and there they watched as the police carried off their personal possessions, including items that had nothing to do with the subject of the search warrant - even her daughter's computer.
And, yes, there were the warnings. Don't call your lawyer. Don't talk to anyone about this. Don't tell your friends. The kids watched - alarmed - as the school bus drove by, with the students inside watching the spectacle of uniformed police surrounding the house, carrying out the family's belongings. Yet they were told they couldn't tell anyone at school.
They, too, had to remain silent. The mom watched as her entire life was laid open before the police. Her professional files, her personal files, everything. She knew this was all politics. She knew a rogue prosecutor was targeting her for her political beliefs.
And she realized, "Every aspect of my life is in their hands. And they hate me."
Note that the only reason we know about the 'John Doe' raids in the first place is because one of the victims eventually violated the gag order.
How Lois Lerner Evaded Charges
Despite fairly obviously being in contempt of Congress.
The Obama Administration's latest gift to the former IRS tax-exempt chief came recently when U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ron Machen informed the House of Representatives that he would not file charges on its formal contempt citation against Ms. Lerner. This absolution, which shields Ms. Lerner from a grand jury probe, came on Mr. Machen's final day on the job.The House on May 7, 2014 held her in contempt of Congress and sent the citation to Mr. Machen.
The law clearly explains that the U.S. Attorney's only "duty" "shall be" to "bring the matter before the grand jury for its action." Mr. Machen instead sat on the contempt citation for 11 months, and on March 31 sent Speaker John Boehner a letter explaining he'd unilaterally decided not to investigate Ms. Lerner.
...the job of making these legal calls belonged to a grand jury-not Mr. Machen.
The people who perpetrated this in Wisconsin were Milwaukee district attorney John Chisholm and Judge Barbara Kluka. And in the IRS case it was Lois Lerner and US Attorney Ron Machen. All of these people should be in prison and/or disbarred. But almost certainly they will get away with their actions without any real consequences.
We have a system of justice in this country but more and more it's clear that it no longer can provide any justice in the cases of partisan government officials using government harassment and thuggery against citizens who merely hold opposing political beliefs. Of course a judicial process regarding their actions is always followed and the proper procedures seem to be checked off, yet no actual justice is delivered.
What you have then is a essentially Potemkin justice system as described by Vaclav Havel:
If an outside observer who knew nothing at all about life in Czechoslovakia were to study only its laws, he would be utterly incapable of understanding what we were complaining about. The hidden political manipulation of the courts and of public prosecutors, the limitations placed on lawyers' ability to defend their clients, the closed nature, de facto, of trials, the arbitrary actions of the security forces, their position of authority over the judiciary, the absurdly broad application of several deliberately vague sections of that code, and of course the state's utter disregard for the positive sections of that code (the rights of citizens): all of this would remain hidden from our outside observer. The only thing he would take away would be the impression that our legal code is not much worse than the legal code of other civilized countries, and not much different either, except perhaps for certain curiosities, such as the entrenchment in the constitution of a single political party's eternal rule and the state's love for a neighboring superpower.
But that is not all: if our observer had the opportunity to study the formal side of the policing and judicial procedures and practices, how they look "on paper," he would discover that for the most part the common rules of criminal procedure are observed: charges are laid within the prescribed period following arrest, and it is the same with detention orders. Indictments are properly delivered, the accused has a lawyer, and so on. In other words, everyone has an excuse: they have all observed the law. In reality, however, they have cruelly and pointlessly ruined a young person's life, perhaps for no other reason than because he made samizdat copies of a novel written by a banned writer, or because the police deliberately falsified their testimony (as everyone knows, from the judge on down to the defendant). Yet all of this somehow remains in the background. The falsified testimony is not necessarily obvious from the trial documents and the section of the Criminal Code dealing with incitement does not formally exclude the application of that charge to the copying of a banned novel. In other words, the legal code-at least in several areas-is no more than a facade, an aspect of the world of appearances. Then why is it there at all? For exactly the same reason as ideology is there: it provides a bridge of excuses between the system and individuals, making it easier for them to enter the power structure and serve the arbitrary demands of power. The excuse lets individuals fool themselves into thinking they are merely upholding the law and protecting society from criminals.
And when the justice system has failed or become merely a procedural sham what then?
It's a common conceit among lawyers that our legal system is the justice system - which is not fully true: It's a justice system and a pretty good one at that but it's not the only system of justice. So there's an assumption that if the legal system is manipulated and even blocked, then there's simply no recourse at all for those on the receiving end of this treatment and so they'll just accept it. Which is clearly what the above people and their allies seem to believe. Well out of inertia of trust in the system this is true up to a point - but only up to a point.
But when that trust that justice will actually be delivered is finally broken, stoic acceptance of the jiggered results of a broken system can no longer be counted upon either. Instead you will see a reversion to the older, rougher justice delivery firmware that's embedded in our DNA and it will be ugly. But not necessarily unjust.
Given that people have had their lives destroyed for merely making a bad joke on social media, wearing the wrong shirt, answering a hypothetical question about catering incorrectly, and using the wrong ordering of words in a phrase, not to mention threatened with jail for the act of committing politics, I see no reason that Chisholm, Kluka, Lerner, and Machen who have done far worse should be able to walk the streets and go through life comfortably and carefree.
Don't blame me for this - I wasn't the one who deliberately subverted and broke the system of justice that we had.
Kevin Williamson: With Hillary, Appearances Are Everything.
Sharon Stone, the Clintons, Scooby-Doo, the man-feminists of the New York art scene, the just-one-name-like-Sting-or-Cher thing: That Hillary Show has a distinctly retro feel to it already. We have seen this movie before: Last Vegas, The Bucket List, About Schmidt, John Podesta and Paul Begala starring in Grumpy Old Men. Once more unto the breach. The Lion in Winter, with all the domestic friction and succession drama but no lion.Herself, who speaks in clich�s and who gives some indication that she thinks in them, too, says that she is in the van - "Road trip!" she tweeted - because she is "hitting the road to earn your vote." The Clintons - not too long ago "dead broke," as Herself put it - have earned well more than $100 million since the president left office, the Washington Post reports, with his speech income alone amounting to some $105 million.
That's armored-car money, and an armored car is of course what Herself is riding around in, as she did during her first Senate campaign. There is something ineffably Clintonesque in that: She declined the use of the customary limousine because she wanted to appear to share the lives and troubles of the ordinary people, so she rides around in a customized armored van, having spent a great deal of money - starting prices for such vehicles are comparable to those of Porsches - to avoid the appearance that she has a great deal of money. . . .
Appearances apparently do matter. That van is the cosmetic surgery of populism, the tummy tuck of a 1 percenter auditioning for a role somewhere between Evita and Auntie Mame. But the Clintons have always had a strange knack for getting people to admire them for their phoniness, not in spite of it. Their admirers - and there are many of them - are like those odd ducks who prefer breast implants to the genuine articles, the more obviously artificial the better.
That's the strange thing about the career of Herself: Because she is a feminist, or at least a woman who plays one on television, to bring up the subject of her appearance is taken as prima facie chauvinism, boorish boobishness of the sort that illustrates exactly why we need a woman as president. (Maybe. But this woman?) At the same time, appearance is 83 percent of every presidential campaign, and 97 percent - at least - of a Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign. In some cases, the appeal is literally skin deep: When Team Herself unveiled its campaign icon - an uppercase "H" with a vector pointing to the right - the daft young actress Lena Dunham remarked that she wanted to get a "tramp stamp" tattoo of the logo.

Iowa Lottery Official Charged with Hacking Random Number Generator To Score Winning Ticket
I was lucky to discover a Buddy Holly greatest hits album in my father's collection during high school which I played the crap out of despite being a bit uncool at that time. I was even more amazed to later discover that he had written, produced, and recorded every song by age 22. And before his untimely death in 1959 he had already inspired teenagers Robert Zimmerman and Michael Jagger as well as two lads in Liverpool to start writing songs. Of all the musicians who have died prematurely Holly is the one that I wonder most about what could have been.

People keep saying, 'We need to have a conversation about race,’ she says now.
This is the conversation.
I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back, Morrison says finally.
And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman.

Fortunately for us Wisconsin conservatives, Kluka recused herself from overseeing John Doe II in late 2013, and her replacement, Gregory Peterson, promptly quashed the subpoenas she authorized. Unfortunately, the Madison-based 4th Distrrict Court of Appeals (including a hack ex-Dane County DA that manipulated the system to try to hand the Legislature leadership to the Madison branch of the DemocRAT Party and Joanne Kloppenburg) "un-quashed" said subpoenas, though it has been in limbo. The state Supreme Court just heard oral arguments in a consolidated appeal of the 4th District's actions regarding John Doe II, with the persecutors' attempts to get 3 more justices to join Ann Walsh Bradley (whose son works for one of the target's law firms) in recusing themselves apparently for naught.

He died in the late '70's during the years of the military dictatorship. A corrupt judge told my future roommate (who was then in college) and her mother (who had helped her father with the business for decades and knew it well) that since, in his opinion, women were incapable of running businesses, he would put the drycleaning chain in the hands of a crony of his. The crony basically milked the business dry and it went belly up in a few years. My friend and her mother (who got a small monthly stipend from this crook) went from being well-off to being poor.
My roommate said the worst thing was not the poverty, but the fact she couldn't talk to anybody but her mother about it - not even close friends or relatives. Because under dictatorships, you don't trust anybody, you don't confine certain things to even your best childhood friend because you don't know if she'll let something slip in front of somebody who is a snitch. She might be a snitch herself.
And Laura said that that was the loneliest feeling in the world.
I felt for her when she told about what it was like to live under a dictatorship, but I never in a million years thought Americans might someday experience similar experiences.

It was all an illusion, from the very beginning.
Life has always been a game of gangs.
The only way a democracy works, is when the minority agrees to live by the rules the majority makes. The radicals learned that in the '60's when they said 'they can not arrest all of us'.
Conservatives have too much to lose, or are unwilling to risk what they have. The radicals were sleeping on someone else's couch in someone else's living room, eating someone else's cheetos, and smoking someone else's weed, and had nothing to lose. Then they started getting government grants.

N2 as an asphyxiate is a foolproof and relatively painless solution. I'd add a bit of CO first to help knock them out as it binds with hemoglobin, reducing O2 levels in the brain quicker.

Note that this is from Zero Hedge so divide by two and subtract 3. But still this is an expected step on the way to full-on 'capital controls' i.e. the Greek government taking control of all money in Greek banks.
That's how the British media is reporting it as well, so the usual ZeroHedge fudge factor doesn't apply.

The Texas Lege is in session (and doing some good work, actually) but one recent bill was to essentially forbid citizens from filming police in action. You know, "interfering" with police. It was shot down, so, good for Texas; but the Fascists are and will always keep taking bites at the apple.
Does anyone think the police (good or bad) wouldn't like to have the authority to pull such a law out of their holster whenever convenient? It goes against human nature to self-incriminate. The defense mechanisms the State would prefer would be fatal to a Free People.

Thing is, with nitrogen asphyxiation, the victim does not even know there is anything wrong. Your gasping reflex, the one which forces you to breathe when you try to hold your breath, is triggered by the partial pressure of CO2. Your body ignores nitrogen; after all it makes up 4/5 of the air we breathe.
Every year, there are cases of people dying when they unwittingly venture into an oxygen-deficient atmosphere; root cellars are a classic trap. Poor bastards go unconscious before they even suspect there is anything wrong. They aren't gasping for air because their body says, "Hmmm, partial pressure of CO2 is within bounds, everything is A-OK."

In one way, GuardAmerican was a cultural enterprise seeking to answer that, devolve responsibility down to individuals who could learn, be emulated, and admired. And through their very presence dissuade the bad and lift up the good.
But now I don't know. Our magnificent institutions, reeling under continuous assault, are not indestructible. Our polity, widely ignored or never known by too many, groans under the barrage.
Maybe the Politics of Personal Destruction have turned out to be much more personal than politics can express. Maybe all we're left with is anamilistic appetite.
And animals don't have politicians.

Anyone following the black on black violence against immigrants in South Africa?"
No. South Africa is sooooo 1980s. What happened in South Africa is that a racist,
competent government was replaced by a racist incompetent one. The only
country in Sub-Saharan Africa that isn't a total disaster area is
Botswana and even they have the highest AIDS rate in the world.

While awaiting a proper issue, we must learn the lesson
Of the ever-important question of human balance.
It is courage that counts.
Things may be the same again; and we must fight
Not in the hope of winning but rather of keeping
Something alive: so that when we meet our end,
It may be said that we tackled wherever we could,
That battle-fit we lived, and though defeated,
Not without glory fought."

Heh. There is that, alright. An easy solution? Run the line from to the mask to a point outside the death chamber. At the appointed hour attach the mask, and start the gas flowing. But for the first minute or so, pump nothing but pure, dry air. Let the condemned fucker put on his "fish out of water act" and then drop the bomb, "Hey, dumbfuck, we haven't turned the gas on yet." Have witnesses to verify this fact. Then turn the gas on. Nitrogen is odorless and tasteless, because it is, after all, the major constituent of air.
N.B. For shits and grins, use argon as the death gas. It's a minor constituent of air, and being an inert gas, it's by definition odorless and tasteless, and since it does not enter into chemical reactions at normal temperatures and pressures, it cannot be a poison, because "inert".

But something I've been thinking about. I think most straight ppl are born with a mild, but instinctive, gay-aversion. Even a mild form of homophobia.
I'm not talking about anything religious or moral. I'm not talking about right vs wrong. I'm saying I think that humanity evolved a mild gay-aversion.
Human sexuality is strongly selected for. The whole reason we have sex drives is to encourage breeding so genes get passed on, etc, etc. So our brains rewards us for behavior that leads to babies, and gives us feelings of disgust for behavior that doesn't.
This is why every new generation of boys will make gay jokes until it is beaten out of them -- cause they are born with a mid form of gay-aversion. It's natural. Normal. Healthy.
Kinda the same way each new generation of girls will call each other sluts. Humans evolved a natural disgust for women sleeping around cause of the nature of human sexuality - women always know they are the mother, men can't be sure they are the father.
That's why I think the anti slut-shaming efforts will fail. Cause it's not a learned behavior. It's an instinctual disgust reaction.
So yelling at boys to stop the gay jokes and girls to stop the slut gossip is, in both cases, punishing ppl for the way they were born. Their natural instincts.
Just like punishing gays for being gay.

A vendetta can get you and everyone who looks like dead. Arbitration is generally a better risk.

Last cylinder of argon I bought was about $75, but it wasn't a 125, maybe a 50 cubic foot cylinder. Argon and nitrogen are both "free". What you pay for is the energy cost of fractionating them out of air.

Oxygen, argon, and nitrogen are all the products of the fractional distillation of liquid air. So whichever product you sell the most of (oxygen, probably?) subsidizes the remainder. The biggest energy input comes in the process of liquefying the air.
In the oilfields, where drilling with nitrogen foam is sometimes used, they can use either liquid nitrogen trucked in by bulkers, or run Genron Units. which are basically molecular sieves powered by big screaming Diesel engines. A whole bunch of them. Quite the sight, to be on a lease where that is being done.

I, for one, think you are the right track, there. I think homosexuality is some sort of developmental disability.

=================
It's not always a parent to child genetic hand-me-down that's the subject of selection, you have to look at family groups. Even someone who dies protecting the family group before he had a chance to procreate has helped his family's genes perpetuate -- ones that are likely to throw up (at least occasionally) the same kind of self-sacrifice.
So think of how the homosexual, in time of want, is the extra hunter/gatherer of the group that does not burden it with many more mouths to feed...and you can see how it could be genetically selected for, even if not passed directly down the line.

Well, "developmental disability" could be a birth defect, or it could be the result of some social or environmental challenge in early childhood. Cerebral palsy, for example, is known to be caused by the baby getting insufficient oxygen during childbirth. Not genetic, more a case of an accident happening.

Yeah, you have to be very clinical about it. Slang is too easy to demonize.
DNA needs to be passed on for species fitness in anything beyond subcellular life. Anything that reduces that biological function is a flaw. Homosexuality wherein DNA cannot be recombined and passed on in vivo damages a human organism immediately in that it denies formation of offspring. In a larger context, a species is impacted if a "balance" of homo- versus hetero- is too extreme such that the species cannot successfully mate and recombine DNA that can survive its contemporary environment.
So, while we as individuals can't choose our DNA, we do have flaws, or defects, that vary in their impact upon the species. Homosexuality is particularly detrimental to the human species - fatal, in fact, from an evolutionary standpoint. This is not a subjective opinion. This is not a judgment.
However, to advance the argument and debate, one has to survive the many who will make this subjective. And that's where the "fun" begins where science sends the sciencey into conniptions and fingers in the ears.

Been re-reading Conquest's "The Great Terror" before bed recently (actually the latest re-issue of same). One reaction I didn't have when I first read it back in the 80s - I find myself not really caring about the show-trials and repressions of Party types, the senior ones.
Sure, the treachery of Stalin, the degradation of it all, the lies, the vile functionaries of Stalin and the NKVD. But these guys were all part of one of the greatest crimes committed against civilization - Stalinist, Trotskyite, Zinovietite, Right, NEPers, whatever. They all were covered in the blood of millions prior to the Purge. So - f**k 'em.
I imagine I'll feel differently about the mass terror soon to come. But only Bukharin is left, of the bigs. And f**k him and his memory.

Which is why there's all the angst about those who are charged to "protect and serve." Who and what are they protecting?
The retort is that the police/soldier will defend the Constitution during crisis. How is that so when "just doing my job" entails something lawless as described by Havel? Why would one trust such an assertion in view of John Doe?
If the police/military will not question their orders for whatever reason because doing their job justifies all action, then we are well and truly ckufed. I don't want to go Godwin here, but this absolutely screams it. Some high-ranking authoritarian can abuse the system, send out state agents, and have it all rubber-stamped by the Judicial to make it all legal like and just doing a job is the answer? That is an abdication at best.

All true and well said.
My biggest point is to not trust that the State will protect you in times of crisis. (And, evidently, even less often that that.) The uniformed have a duty to their oath and to themselves. Those duties can be in conflict. In crisis it's guaranteed.
Just as the uniformed have a hard choice, so do citizens. Prepare to defend yourself, when no one else will, to the best of your ability. Do Not Depend On The Civility of Authority.

It is quite enlightening to sit down and read the Declaration of
Independence, line-by-line and clause-by-clause, and reflect on the
actual events that were so described.....and realize that we have
experienced much worse over the last few years.

To be fair, the Left, as we know it, didn't really exist.
Back then it was a choice between liberty and honest dictatorship of a king.
What we face now is an evil that takes advantage of the tolerance of a society that is used to tolerance and freedom.
Never be tolerant of those who would deprive you of the benefits of tolerance.
'Tis an evil without precedence!

He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation;
...
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments;

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

The hell with that -- how did we just pass 150 years from Appomattox without a blip? Were there speeches? parades? ceremonies? Any reflection of how our nation's great wound began healing on that day, and has made so much progress since??? Fuck, no, 'cause the outrage brigade has been tearing that healing down since the 60s, and pouring poison into the wound in hopes that it might fester.

Might be part of it. I don't know if I mentioned it, though -- she likes the place so much that she's staying there this entire visit and is considering making it her "go-to" place for future visits. It's prettier and quieter than where she has been staying, and is only another 5 minutes away from the worksite.

Nailed it. You said it slightly differently than I always do... I've always said that they make themselves impervious to the lessons of history, by always trying to make it Year Zero. They're convinced that their idea is fresh, new, and untried when it's the oldest thing in history... enslaving the many to the "greater good" as defined by the few who claim Druidic Magic, Noble blood, or just credentials and awards handed down by circle-jerk institutions. It doesn't matter what form the phlebotinum takes, they claim they alone are fit to rule based on some undefinable quality that they control.
If they didn't make themselves blind, they might see that the worst evils are always committed in the service of the greater good. Even ISIS thinks they're serving the greater good.
From my study of history and personal experience, I can derive one definite truth: Nobody's fit to rule. Nobody. Not you, not me, and most certainly not those goddamn megalomaniacs. Power corrupts everybody. That's why we built a Republic, to break up the powers inherent in governance so that they don't corrupt, so there would be no rulers, no lords, no masters... and no unelected political elite.
We can't afford to lose this fight. What's at stake is everything. Everything we consider sacred, even life itself.

Words are one thing. If respect for the rule of law will continue, the public needs to see scalps.
As a general rule of thumb, if Jon Corzine is still wandering around after having ponzi'd a billion dollars to himself......there's no justice, legal or otherwise. Whether he's indicted and facing a life sentence or whether he's found dangling from a lamp-post will tell me what kind of justice to believe in.

If I seem a little more grim than usual lately, I well remember the California drought of 1976-1977. IIRC, Marin County (the richest in the state) had a water ration of 3 gallons per person per day.

Every single one of these people should be sued in a court of law. Sure, maybe they will win the law suit, but being sued is a pain in the ass. If these people got a taste of their own litigious medicine, perhaps they'd think twice about using the legal system as a sledgehammer to beat political opponents over the head. Until we stand up, fight back, and refuse to be harassed by the rabid leftists who abuse their power, they will continue to abuse their power, and it will get much worse.
Sue the bastards! It is not enough to shame them because they have no shame, and the leftist base WANTS to basically destroy Republicans and conservatives' lives. Make no mistake, these lunatics do not believe in our political system. They want to rule with an iron fist, and they want us to shut up.
We must sue them; every single one of them.
