Default OT - Celebrate our freedoms, this fourth of july

As we go out to celebrate our freedom this 4th
of July, let's go over a few things to make your
celebration a success.

Before leaving home make sure you check the
color coded Homeland Security alert status.
Be especially careful if it is orange or red.
Don't worry about yellow. It's always yellow.

Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
New Yorkers, in particular, watch out for those
pesky mushroom clouds.

Don't use any illegal fireworks in your 4th
Celebration. It is for your own safety. And
the founding father's implemented a government
to protect you from yourselves. Didn't they?
Besides, fireworks are explosive devices and
you might be considered a terrorist with weapons
of mass destruction. And although the government
can't find any in Iraq, you can rest assured they
will find them in your car trunk. But don't worry,
getting arrested, imprisoned indefinitely without
formal charges, and a 5 year wait before the
secret tribunal trial per the Patriot Act is a
breeze. It's that secret summary execution that
should make you nervous.

Make sure you are buckled up in your seat belts,
there will be roadblocks and checkpoints to make
sure you comply. It is for the children.

If you are an airline employee, lighten up for
the holiday, you can always look for a job
tomorrow. Maybe you could transfer over to a
Federal Airport Security Screener job. Big
demand for those jobs and you don't have to
be smart.

If you are a Haliburton employee, then
celebrate, you probably have a raise coming
from the Iraqi contract windfall.

If you are unemployed from the Gulf of Mexico
oil rigs, or any where along the coast. Take heart,
Obama has extended unemployment, and will
spend more stimulus dollars to get you all back
to work.

If celebrating on any public property, make no
mention or relgious ideals. Government is god,
there. You will be apprehended.

Have your papers ready as you approach the
holiday police checkpoints.

Don't criticize the President or other government
officials, you might be in violation of the
Patriot Act and considered a possible terrorist.

Be grateful that President Obama has taken over
the banks. After all, you wouldn't want another
Great Depression. Be sure to write your Nations
Leaders, and thank them for the stimulus spending.
It doesn't matter that you're unemployed. It could
be much worse.

Don't mention the Constitution in any district
court or you could be held in contempt.

If your children get out of line this holiday,
do not discipline them, or they may be kidnapped
by the Dept. of Social Services and held hostage
until you receive approved psychological therapy
and are deemed acceptable.

Show compassion this Independence Day by bringing
an illegal immigrant to your celebration or by
hugging a tree.

If an election is occurring in your locality
within the next 90 days, do not talk about or
publicly support any candidate, as that is no
longer lawful. Keep your mouth shut.

If an officer asks to search your vehicle at the
"seat belt" checks, do not be belligerent and
demand a search warrant. Standing up for your
fourth amendment rights is anti-social and not
in tune with the new American way. Are you
with Al Quada or something?

Do not get upset when the searching officer will
not help you pick up your belongings that he has
strewn all over the highway as he searched your
vehicle. It is not in his job description and
complaining will get you charged with obstructing
justice.

Keep your guns at home. You are not going hunting
and besides, What on earth do guns have to do with
American Independence? Better yet, turn your guns
into the authorities to let them know that you are
a true patriotic American.

Better yet, just STAY at home. BUT do not assume
that you are safe, because you are at home. If a
government bureaucrat shows up at your home, he
will probably be flashing a badge at you. This
makes him look like a constitutional law
enforcement officer. He may even be armed. Do
not ask to see a warrant, and then tell him to
leave if he does not have one. They will put a
siege around your house. If you do not come out
soon enough, they may invade, with guns drawn,
or even set your house on fire.

For more information, do a search using keywords
like "Symbionese Liberation Army", "Philadelphia
MOVE group", "Gordon Kahl", "The Order", "Robert
Matthews", "Covenant of the Sword and Arm of the
Lord", "Randy Weaver" , "Branch Davidian", or
"Elian Gonzalez".

If you are counting on you congressman to protect
you, understand that the average congressman is
ALSO afraid to resist. For more information, do a
search using keywords like "George Hanson" ,
"James Trafficant" or "Larry McDonald".

If celebrating at the mall in Washington DC. you
are probably safe as the mall is now monitored by
hundreds of surveillance cameras, watched by
federal security forces. Don't do anything that
you wouldn't want them to see. If you are mugged,
just call 911, and they will have a police officer
there in 45 minutes to an hour. Allow the officer
to search you and all your bags for evidence
of the crime, that will help them to find the
muggers.

Bring lots of cash with you, there will be many
taxes, fines, and fees to pay as you celebrate
your freedoms this day.

Do not leave home without your driver's license,
social security card, birth certificate, welfare
card, medicare card, medical records, W-2 Form,
and two others forms of ID. You may be asked for
them at the police checkpoints. Better yet, get
micro-chipped, and avoid the hassle of carrying
around your papers.

Bring your library card, the FBI may ask you for it.

Do not put any "anti-government" bumper stickers
on your car. Especially not anything about the
right to keep and bear arms. Police have been
trained by the FBI in "bumper sticker profiling".
This attracts their attention at the check points,
and makes you look like a terrorist.

With regard to "bumper sticker profiling" you
should be especially aware of the fact that
"They will get my gun, when they pry it from
my cold dead fingers" is no longer mere semantics.
At WACO, and at RUBY RIDGE, we learned that they
WILL kill you to take your guns

Be extra thankful for the government bailout of
General Motors. We wouldn't want the nation's auto
manufacturers to go out of business. Even if
unemployment is at record highs, at least President
Obama cares. Change you can believe in.

ALSO, be careful not to have any unauthorized
THOUGHTS. There are now serious penalties for
"thought crime". Be aware that "civil forfeiture"
laws make it possible to take anything that you
own, by alleging that it was "intended" to be
used for the commission of a crime. This could
include transporting or storing a gun. If
"civil forfeiture" proceedings are initiated
against you, then you will have the burden of
proof, to show that your thoughts were in
compliance with government standards.

If traveling by air this Independence Day, do
not give the airport screeners a hard time.
They are feeling you up and molesting your
daughter and wife for the security of America.
If you complain you could be arrested. You
don't support Bin Laden do you?

Keep an eye on your fellow Americans as you
celebrate this 4th of July. If you see any
thing supicious, take notes so that when you
get home you can call and report them to the
Homeland Security Office. And remember you
are not a nosey snitch, you are a great
American Patriot.

Do not mention the signers of the Declaration
of Independence this 4th of July. Mentioning
these white subversive terrorists is not
popular and could get you in big trouble.
Besides what do these guys have to do with
the 4th of July anyway?

Do not leave home without one or more little
plastic American flags made by political
slaves in Communist China. Make sure you
have one flying from the antennae of your
vehicle. You don't want to seem un-American
do you?

Do not take a copy of the Declaration of
Independence with you as it advocates the
overthrow of tyrannical government. It is
a terrorist document and will be confiscated
at the holiday police checkpoints. Same
advice for the Constitution.

And remember, as you leave home for your 4th
of July outing, that the second you stepped
out of your door that you probably broke
hundreds of federal, state, and local laws
that you are probably unaware of. However,
if you toe the line, you will not be charged.

Don't even think about taxes on this great day.
The 50 per cent government confiscation of your
income at the threat of imprisonment or at the
point of a gun should not even cross your mind
as you revel in your freedom. After all, April
15th is a long way off.

And whatever you do, do not let on that you
really know that true freedom died a long time
ago in America, just have fun for the day and
then go home and stick your head back in the
sand and pretend America is not becoming a
socialist police state.

Now go out there and celebrate your freedom
and liberty and have a great sanitized,
politically correct, and government approved
and authorized Independence Day!

If you have a few decades with nothing better
to do, study up on "administrative law". Laws
are now made by the unelected bureaucrats, in
hundreds of "administrative agencies". If you
are charged with violating one of these "laws"
you will not get a trial by a jury of your
peers. You will be tried by the agency that
made the charge.

I hope this message gets past the Department
of Homeland security approved internet filter.
How else can they protect us from unauthorized
thought?

Now go out and celebrate your independence and
have a great Independence Day!

Only the rich in America are free. Only in America does the
government rob the poor to give to the rich. Most people are
relatively poor.
They imagine that by voting republican, somehow they will become rich.
Being rich does not neccessarily make you happy. (Though being poor
will almost certainly make you unhappy)
America is
In danger of being taken over by the Brits.
Ridden with crime. A completely lawless place.
In danger of being taken over by it's own government.
In danger of being taken over by terrorist organisations.

People believe this to be true and hence keep a housefull of guns.
Either that, or they're totally paranoid. Which indicates something
is seriously amiss with American society.

Some groups, you can post virtually anything to. But this one seems to
be very basic. You can't send emails to it or pictures or files.
Even on dial up, a picture can be downloaded reasonably fast. Movies
are not really practical.
I tried to post pix to the sites you listed. Some are a pain in the
neck to get started into and others only allow one image at a time. I
sent about thirty to your posted email address. So, if you want to
get them you better email me.with your proper address.

The fort BTW predates the Romans. About an hours drive from here is
Stonehenge which is thought to be 6,000 yrs old.

Only the rich in America are free. Only in America does the
government rob the poor to give to the rich. Most people are
relatively poor.
They imagine that by voting republican, somehow they will become rich.
Being rich does not neccessarily make you happy. (Though being poor
will almost certainly make you unhappy)
America is
In danger of being taken over by the Brits.
Ridden with crime. A completely lawless place.
In danger of being taken over by it's own government.
In danger of being taken over by terrorist organisations.


People believe this to be true and hence keep a housefull of guns.
Either that, or they're totally paranoid. Which indicates something
is seriously amiss with American society.

What a card! You should take this show on the road. I laughed

Well I'm glad I amused you :-) I aim to please.
There's some here will take all this very seriously. Esp. about gun
ownership.


BTW, I have a flagpole outside my house. I amuse myself by raising
various national flags at the appropiate time. Countries I have
visited.
I will fly the stars and stripes on July the fourth. Anywhere I can
post a picture for y'all?


Harry my friend, I'd really like to see some pictures of England and
you home.

I have posted some to your email address as shown on this group. The
message is wrong, I got confused with this new browser I have, it does
strange things. If you have Google earth, do you know how to use the
"panoramio photos" features? (You just tick the box in the bottom
left.) These are little blue markers representing pix.


I can email you some google earth "place markers" and google earth
will take you straight there and you can click on the little blue
panoramio markers on the picture& it will bring up pix that people
have uploaded. There are literally thousands.
We have some world famous buildings/places around here. I can look
out of my house window and see a fort that is 2000 years old. There
are lots of churches and cathedrals more than a thousand years old.
These are some of our local places.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ledbury
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvern,_Worcestershire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereford
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromyard
I'll just try acouple of experiments about posting files here. Some
groups, you can email pix& a thumnail appears on the thread but this
one doesn't seem to have that ability.


It's amazing what is in your country and most folks have no clue that
Romans once roamed England and left a lot of buildings like the baths
and temples. Of course posting anything but text to this group is not
considered good form so it's best to post to an image sharing site then
post a link instead. The reason being pictures take up a great deal of
bandwidth and there are many people who don't have a high speed Internet
connection and a binary file like a picture would take ages
for them to download. I've never been to Europe where many of my distant
ancestors came from so a visit there some day on my bucket list. Oh yea,
you must realize that my posted Email addy if fake to prevent Spam and
loads of Email from lunatics who may take a disagreement TOO literally
and don't understand that this is Usenet for crying out loud and not to
be taken so seriously.

The fort BTW predates the Romans. About an hours drive from here is
Stonehenge which is thought to be 6,000 yrs old.

I wish more people studied history. When I was younger, I spent hours
at the public library reading anything that caught my eye but alas, now
homeless cretins have taken up residence at many of them and if the
librarians run them out, there are screams of racism and the protests
marches startup again. Welcome to the real world.

Well, YOU could tell them to leave. If they ask you just who you think you
are, simply say, in a LOUD voice:

"I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three
continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses
and swords to artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and
tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I've won and lost a
dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a
FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. NOW, GO
HOME, BOY!"

They will instantly conclude you are crazier than they and decamp.

I've actually used the crazy man ploy on panhandlers. When they

as I walk toward them with my arms outstretched, fingers wiggling
and my tongue wagging. The other thing that works quite well if
they're far enough away is for me to reach for my black Mini Mag
in its holster as though it was a pistol. They tend to turn around
real quick and leave.

Hah! I see you try that ploy on here from time to time.

You would need to be pretty old to be still around if you fought in
WW1.
I thought you only called black people "boy"?
I have seen the headwaters of the Nile and travelled five continents.
Seen plenty of tribes (and been attacked and robbed by them, it was
with swords too come to think) but all are well known.

While I was filling my truck, I heard a voice on the other side say
"sir I need a favor." A woman came around the front and when she saw me,
was oops, err, ma'am. She asked for money and immediately I said No. She
kept standing there and I had to shout at her NO! She finally left, but in
the meantime I was thinking if she tried to attack me I was going to use
the nozzle to spray her with gas.


They usually don't attack and a stern NO will get rid of them but I did
pickup some police issue pepper spray at a uniform supply house. I've
had to give a few of them pepper spray baths when they made threats. I
also caught a drunk breaking into my van one night and sprayed him down.
It turned out to be his third felony. It's a three strikes state here.
I do believe the DA cut him a deal because they're filling up the prison
system with three strikers. An interesting solution would be, when the
prison gets full, kill em all and start over again. What a deterrent
that could be. Daily postings of the number of prisoners and a count
down until flush time. I'm being fecesious[sic] of course but what a
scary thing that would represent.

From a woman's perspective, we have to be watchful. Anyplace we can be
attacked. I don't mean I'm walking around scared. But when these weirdos
approach I'm thinking of a way to get away, or else get ready to defend
myself with whatever is at the ready.

Normal people, men in particular can scare the hell out of a woman by
approaching when we aren't aware they are there. I was returning books at
the library book drop. Lots of traffic was going by making loud traffic
sounds. I turned to leave and a man was right behind me. Geeze, a blaring
scream came out of me and I yelled at him not to stand so close.

Another time I was loading groceries in the car and a guy came up to me
while I was turned to the car. I didn't scream this time, but it startled
me. It turned out he was going to take the cart back to the store.

So guys, say something before you get up close. If we don't see you coming
along, we don't know why you are so close and what the heck you're going to
do.


I'm the kind of guy who holds doors and puts the seat back down so I'm
always going to be nonthreatening and considerate of women, except crazy
ones..... Now those, grrrrrr. It's amazing what being considerate
of other people will do for everyone's sate of mind. Sometimes I can
shame youngsters by example and sometimes it takes their feet leaving
the ground while they're being slammed up against a wall after being
less than polite to those around them. My problem is that I don't have
a backup alarm and I often come close to flattening someone who slips
up behind me in a queue, I must pay more attention.

An American invention. Small torch. The mini-mag takes two AA cells,
and turns on by rotating the reflector head where the bulb is.

About six inches long. I carry one in the front pocket of my pants
(trousers).

Ah yes I remember now. I have an LED torch, not a Maglite, they are
expensive over here. It is a useless thing. Whilst the LED seems very
bright, the beam is so diffuse as to be useless. I'd consider buying
a maglite, I hear they are indestructable. I never carry a torch about
the place, I just have a couple about the house in case there's a
power cut.

There are few American products for sale over here but Maglite is one
of them.
And Jeep. They are having a big advertising push right now.
£35,000/$50,000 if you want one. Diesel engine. They have a chance,
the cheapest competition Isuzu trooper has gone Also Mahindra and
Lada. But Land Rover has just brought out a new model that does 40mpg.
Nissan, Mercedes, Ford, Volvo, Toyota, BMW. Ssang Yong are all
competing.

While I was filling my truck, I heard a voice on the other side say

They usually don't attack and a stern NO will get rid of them but I did
pickup some police issue pepper spray at a uniform supply house. I've
had to give a few of them pepper spray baths when they made threats. I
also caught a drunk breaking into my van one night and sprayed him down.
It turned out to be his third felony. It's a three strikes state here.
I do believe the DA cut him a deal because they're filling up the prison
system with three strikers. An interesting solution would be, when the
prison gets full, kill em all and start over again. What a deterrent
that could be. Daily postings of the number of prisoners and a count
down until flush time. I'm being fecesious[sic] of course but what a
scary thing that would represent.

Pepper sprays are illegal over here. People smuggle them in from the

I have heard that the USA has more people in jail than anyone else.

Nah, the "prison" step is too expensive. Skip it and your plan works just as
well.

They are called "Less than lethal weapons." because some people die
when Tasers or sprays are used on them. The problem I see with the
Taser is it's becoming too easy to use. It can turn into an implement
of torture much too easily. Fortunately, the vast majority of US law
enforcement people are stand up folks but there are a few....

Harry, you're jumping to conclusions. He said it was very difficult

I havn't bought one of the LED mini mags. But the filament bulb mags
all focuss, so you can get a spot of light at a distance. You may well
be pleased.

Most LED lights are very short range. Most are more blue than white. I
call it "blue fog" light.

I've heard that in England or UK. In case of a power cut, don't look
better off than your neighbors. They will be angry at you.

Ah yes I remember now. I have an LED torch, not a Maglite, they are
expensive over here. It is a useless thing. Whilst the LED seems very
bright, the beam is so diffuse as to be useless. I'd consider buying
a maglite, I hear they are indestructable. I never carry a torch about
the place, I just have a couple about the house in case there's a
power cut.

There are few American products for sale over here but Maglite is one
of them.

I've heard that it's also illegal to defend yourself against crime, in
UK. Sadly, the legal citizen gets arrested, and the crook gets a free
