Energy Policy? What Energy Policy?
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/66498 *Energy Policy? What Energy Policy?* *Monday, May 24, 2010* *By Alan Caruba http://www.cnsnews.com/commentator/alan_caruba Listen to Commentary Podcastshttp://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/outloudopinion * When the government controls the provision of energy, it controls the lives of all citizens and the growth or failure of the nation’s economy. Everything else, including national defense, runs second when it comes to this single factor. Recently the fourth annual survey of more than a hundred executives in the U.S. and Canadian electric and natural gas industries was released by Platts and Capgemini. Platts is a global provider of energy and metals information and Capgemini is a leading provider of consulting, technology and outsourcing services. The objective of the survey was to determine the opinion of energy industry executives regarding the first year and a half of the Obama administration’s energy policies. The Obama administration’s energy policy is to have as little as possible. The administration is bent on reducing access to national energy resources, coal, oil and natural gas, combined with a bizarre emphasis on “alternative” or “renewable” sources in the form of wind and solar energy. European nations that went this course ended up with fewer jobs, insufficient energy for the money invested, and massive fraud in its carbon credits exchanges. It is essential to understand that the nation’s utilities have all signed onto the bogus “global warming” theory that carbon dioxide emissions threaten all life on Earth because they can make gobs of money raising the rates they currently charge for electricity. They expect to do so via the bogus selling and trade of “carbon credits”, a key element of the Cap-and-Tax bill currently in the Senate. It is a massive robbery of all energy consumers and that means everyone. Under intense pressure from the government and from environmental organizations, many utilities have wasted millions on the installation of wind and solar farms, none of which provide enough electricity to even begin to meet their consumer’s needs. Moreover, they must all maintain traditional coal-burning, nuclear, and other forms of energy generation plants because neither wind or solar provide a reliable source of electricity. This is the big, dirty secret of the so-called “sustainable” energy from wind and solar. It is not sustainable if the wind is not blowing and the sun is obscured by clouds. Wind energy provides about one percent of all the electricity used daily in America. In 2006 solar power provided 0.1 percent! By contrast, nuclear provides about 20 percent and coal provides just over 50 percent! The alternative energy suppliers are sustained by a combination of taxpayer subsidies (your money) and mandates imposed on the utilities to include them with nuclear, coal and other energy sources. One way the government makes so-called sustainable energy appear to be a greater source is to include conventional hydroelectric energy. According to the survey, “some 80% are dissatisfied with the U.S. government’s energy policy performance following the one-year anniversary of President Obama’s inauguration and amid a slowly rebounding economy,” adding, “there is considerable dissatisfaction in the lack of tangible and actionable policy and legislation.” John Christens, vice president of Smart Energy Services for Capgemini, says, “Few utility executives consider the current solutions as satisfactory either in scale or feasibility.” That’s because there are NO current “solutions” to America’s growing needs for additional energy provision and the nation’s electrical grid is aging daily and in need of major upgrades. Not surprisingly, since they stand to make billions if the cap-and-tax bill is passed, many utility executives were unhappy with the progress “on CO2 legislation and action, regulations which will increase the cost of power without addressing the root issue of atmospheric carbon…” There is no “root issue” because carbon dioxide plays no role whatever in climate change. The bloviations of Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are a huge package of lies based on flawed and deliberately spurious computer model projections. In November 2009, the Climategate revelations that a handful of IPCC scientists had been misrepresenting the truth should have ended the global warming fraud, but it has only intensified the effort of those behind it to impose it on the world. At some point, having taken millions in government funding for research, particularly here in the U.S. and in England, some of these IPCC scientists should be on their way to jail if there is any justice to be had. The survey is barely useful to the public because it was taken among the very utility executives who are guilty of supporting the global warming fraud in anticipation of reaping obscene profits. The cost of energy will soar
Finally Bipartisanship: Both Parties tell FCC to forget about 'Net-Neutrality'

The Federal Communications Commission was bitch-slapped in April when a federal appeals court told them they have no authority to push Net-Neutrality regulations on internet providers. After the ruling, the FCC decided they would just circumvent the ruling and claim the internet is 'utility' thus allowing them to regulate it as they seem fit. CNet News.com http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20005834-38.html?part=rsstag=feedsubj=News-PoliticsandLaw reports: The Federal Communications Commission's plan to impose Net neutrality regulations just became much more difficult to pull off. A bipartisan group of politicians on Monday told FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, in no uncertain terms, to abandon his plans to impose controversial new rules on broadband providers until the U.S. Congress changes the law. Seventy-four House Democrats sent Genachowski, an Obama appointeehttp://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8301-13578_3-10187067-38.htmland fellow Democrat, a letter saying his ideas will jeopardize jobs and should not be done without additional direction from Congress. A separate letter from 37 Senate Republicans, also sent Monday, was more pointed. It accused Genachowski of pushing heavy-handed 19th century regulations that are inconceivable as well as illegal. This is the work of Cass Sunstein. Just nudge a word here and there and call a service provided by private corportations a 'utility' so the government (FCC) can regulate take control of it. This is how progressives work. Just change a word or meaning and figure out how to take control. Who has been attacking free speech since taking the Oval Office? Who openly attacks the freedom of the press, citizen journalists and bloggers? Control the messenger, control the message. Be greatful that both parties can actually come together to stop another government takeover of a service.

But when you're a dolphin, they can only mean one thing: Playtime. Gliding effortlessly through the ocean these masters of the ocean made light work of waves up to 25 feet high. In pods of up to 400, the creatures crowded into the swell of the water as it broke. And with seemingly little effort they tore through the surf, leaping high in the air as they went.

Others burst through the wave in perfect formation. Photographer Greg Huglin snapped these incredible pictures on the south coast of South Africa. The 57-year-old dad-of-two, from Santa Barbara in California, said: 'The first time I saw dolphins surfing the waves I was completely blown away. 'I was in South Africa filming white sharks and happened to stop in a small town where a shop was advertising dolphin and whale watching boat tours. 'I went along and after that I spent three months every year for the next six years filming and photographing the dolphins.

He said: 'I believe they do it for fun but it may also have something to do with mating and chasing potential partners. 'It might also be something to do with hiding from predators - the wave sounds help mask their location.' Mr Huglin has built a huge collection of breathtaking photographs and film, which show the animals in action. He said: 'I can't ever get enough of filming dolphins. They're so unpredictable and move so fast. 'Getting shots of them surfing waves is really difficult but I love it.' Read more:

Pakistani Islamic Customs Officials Seize Liquor from NATO Supplies
Pakistan is no ally of the US or the West. B http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010\05\23\story_23-5-2010_pg12_5http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010%5C05%5C23%5Cstory_23-5-2010_pg12_5 Liquor seized from NATO containers *By Faraz Khan* KARACHI: Customs intelligence has seized three containers containing liquor along with essential goods that were to be supplied for NATO forces fighting in Afghanistan. Custom officials considered taking strict action against NATO suppliers but were not sure if the NATO suppliers were allowed to supply liquor to Afghanistan through Pakistan, Daily Times learnt on Saturday. Sources requesting anonymity told Daily Times the customs intelligence raided three containers that had arrived from Italy, Morocco and Dubai at the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and discovered imported wines, beers and champagne inside two of them. Federal Board of Revenue Customs Intelligence Director for Sindh and Balochistan Zahid Khokar informed that Customs officials recovered around 28,000 beer bottles, 4,000 beer cans and 300 bottles of wines from the first container and 2,800 bottles of wine from the second container while the third did not have such stuff. He said, “We have seized the three containers containing wines and beers with the essential stuff for NATO security forces engaged in fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan.” He added at least four persons including clearing and forwarding agents were also taken into custody for questioning. It should be mentioned that in a rare case, Pakistani authorities were checking NATO containers on way to Afghanistan and returning after supplying the goods. Customs had also recovered imported wines from a NATO container earlier but no action could be taken as NATO disowned the container. -- Thanks for being part of PoliticalForum at Google Groups.

Obama to Skip Memorial Day at Arlington Cemetery on Paul Revere's Riders
Obama skipping the tradition of putting a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is the biggest slap in the face of America he has pulled yet Obama will use Memorial weekend for a trip home to Chicago *By Anne E. Kornblut * With the long Memorial Day weekend on the horizon, President Obama is finally addressing one of the great broken promises of his administration: his early pledge to return home to Chicago every six weeks or so. In 16 months at the White House, the Obamas have been back home just once - in February of 2009. But they plan to make the trip over Memorial Day weekend, an official said. After arriving on Thursday night, they will visit with friends and participate in private events. On Monday, Obama will make remarks at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemeteryhttp://www.cem.va.gov/cems/nchp/abrahamlincoln.asp, south of Chicago - missing the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. Vice President Biden and his wife will appear in Obama's place, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as well as holding a breakfast for Gold Star families -- families whose loved ones died in military service -- at the White House earlier that day.

No More Virgins
Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a Dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks With Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 25% this February from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the afterlife. The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs ( or B.O.O.M. ) responded with a statement that this was totally unacceptable to its members and immediately balloted for strike action. General Secretary Abdullah Amir told the Press, Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return and to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth. Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands in which he currently resides, Al Qaeda chief executive Osama bin Laden explained, We sympathize with our workers concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditure or laying people off. I don't like cutting wages but I'd hate to have to tell 3000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up. Spokespersons for the union in the North East of England, South East England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the strike would not affect their operations as There are no available virgins in their areas anyway. Apparently the drop in the number of suicide bombings has also been put down to the emergence of that Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle - now that Muslims know what a virgin looks like they are not as keen on going to paradise. -- Thanks for being part of PoliticalForum at Google Groups.

Sestak White House scandal called 'impeachable
Sestak White House scandal called 'impeachable offense' 'It's Valerie Plame, only bigger, a high crime and misdemeanor' -- Posted: May 25, 2010 8:45 pm Eastern http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=joe%20sestakiid=8853266 If a Democratic member of Congress is to be believed, there's someone in the Obama administration who has committed a crime – and if the president knew about it, analysts say it could be grounds for impeachment. This scandal could be enormous, said Dick Morris, a former White House adviser to President Bill Clinton, on the Fox News Sean Hannity show last night. It's Valerie Plame only 10 times bigger, because it's illegal and Joe Sestak is either lying or the White House committed a crime. Obviously, the offer of a significant job in the White House could not be made unless it was by Rahm Emanuel or cleared with Rahm Emanuel, he said. If the job offer was high enough that it also had Obama's apppoval, that is a high crime and misdemeanor. In other words, an impeachable offense? Hannity asked. * http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.viewpageId=147021* Absolutely, said Morris. The controversy revolves around an oft-repeated statement by Rep. Sestak, D-Pa.,http://sestak.house.gov/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=16Itemid=7that he had been offered a job by the Obama administration in exchange for dropping out of the senatorial primary against Obama supporter Sen. Arlen Specter. Sestak said he refused the offer. He continued in the Senate primary and defeated Specter for the Democratic nomination. But Karl Rove, longtime White House adviser to President George W. Bush, said the charge is explosive because of federal law. This is a pretty extraordinary charge: 'They tried to bribe me out of the race by offering me a job,' he said on Greta Van Susteran's On the Record program on the Fox News Channel. Look, that's a violation of the federal code: 18 USC 600 says that a federal official cannot promise employment, a job in the federal government, in return for a political act. Somebody violated the law. If Sestak is telling the truth, somebody violated the law, Rove said. Section 18 USC 211 says you cannot accept anything of value in return for hiring somebody. Well, arguably, providing a clear path to the nomination for a fellow Democrat is something of value. He continued, citing a third law passage: 18 USC 595, which prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office. ... 'If you'll get out, we'll appoint you to a federal office,' – that's a violation of the law. Staffers with Sestak's congressional office did not respond to WND requests for comment. But the congressman repeatedly confirmed that he was offered the position and refused and that any further comments would have to come from someone else. I've said all I'm going to say on the matter. … Others need to explain whatever their role might be, Sestak said on CNN this week. I have a personal accountability; I should have for my role in the matter, which I talked about. Beyond that, I'll let others talk about their role. That's not fulfilling his responsibilities, Rove said. He said Sestak needs to be forthcoming with the full story so the American people can figure out whether or not he's participating in a criminal cover-up along with federal officials. The Obama White House has tried to minimize the issue. Lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak, and nothing inappropriate happened, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has stated. Gibbs told the White House press corps, Whatever conversations have been had are not problematic. And on CBS' Face the Nation he said, I'm not going to get further into what the conversations were. People who looked into them assure me they weren't inappropriate in any way. But the administration also is taking no chances on what might be discovered. According to Politico, the Justice Department has rejected a request from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., for a special counsel to investigate and reveal the truth of the controversy. The report said Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich confirmed no special counsel would be needed. But the report said Weich also gave no indication that the Justice Department actually was looking into the claims by Sestak. We assure you that the Department of Justice takes very seriously allegations of criminal conduct by public officials. All such matters are reviewed carefully by career prosecutors and law enforcement agents, and appropriate action, if warranted, is taken, Weich wrote in the letter. Issa had suggested that the alleged job offer may run afoul of federal bribery statutes. He said in a statement to Politico, The attorney general's refusal to take action in the face of such felonious allegations undermines any claim to transparency and integrity that this administration asserts. He's also made
Morning Bell: A Crisis of Competence in the Gulf
“Let’s be clear: Every day that this oil sits is one more day that more of our marsh dies,” Gov. Bobby Jindal (LA) saidhttp://abcnews.go.com/WN/bp-oil-spill-louisiana-governor-bobby-jindal-asks/story?id=10731680Monday. “We’ve been frustrated with the disjointed effort to date that has too often meant too little, too late for the oil hitting our coast,” he continuedhttp://abcnews.go.com/WN/bp-oil-spill-louisiana-governor-bobby-jindal-asks/story?id=10731680. Specifically, Jindal is frustrated by the failure of the federal government to produce the 8 million feet of oil-blocking boomshttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704026204575266714089093670.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStoriesit asked for back on May 2nd and 3rd. So far Louisiana has only received 815,000 feet of boom, and even then the federal government has failed to place it in the correct locations. Worse, Obama administration regulators continue to deny Louisiana officials permission to build up barrier islands between the coast’s marshes and the gulfhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704026204575266714089093670.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories. Federal regulators have so far refused to permit the state to act, fearing the unintended long-term damage to local wildlife. So instead of action, the oil continues to float on shore threatening the livelihoods of millions of Louisianans. Meanwhile the Environmental Protection Agency again demonstrated its uselessness when it informed BP it had 24 hours to find a less toxic alternative to the chemical it had been using to break up the oil. BP informed the EPA that no alternatives were available in sufficient quantity to deal with the spill, and when the EPA’s deadline came and went with no change in BP’s practices, the EPA meekly said they would study the issue, which was an acknowledgment that it has no answer eitherhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/24/AR2010052404071_pf.html . The federal government’s failure to know how to handle the Deepwater Horizon oil spill does not end with the EPA. It goes all the way to the top. Frustrated by his government’s inability to master the problem, President Barack Obama reportedly cut aides short recently, ordering them to “plug the damn hole.”http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/24/AR2010052404071_pf.htmlAs if no one had thought of that already. But instead of focusing on the problem at hand, President Obama moved to appoint an unaccountable commission to study the problem substituting process for action at a time when leadership was needed. The commission shifts the responsibility from the persons we elect to oversee these issues to unelected bureaucrats. The Pew Research Center has released a pollhttp://blog.heritage.org/wp-admin/post.php?action=editpost=34643message=10showing a majority of Americans give President Obama and his administration bad marks for its handling of a massive oil spill. To combat this rising discontent, the Obama administration flew Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen up to Washington to provide some clear answers as to who was in charge of the operation. Just this past Sunday, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar had said of BP: “If we find that they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be doing, we’ll push them out of the way appropriately.” But when asked about Salazar’s comments Monday, Allen respondedhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/press-briefing-press-secretary-robert-gibbs-admiral-thad-allen-and-assistant-presid: “Well, I would — I would — I would say that that’s more of a metaphor. … You need equipment and expertise that’s not generally within the government — federal government, in terms of competency, capability or capacity. There may be some other way to get it, but I’m a national incident commander. And right now, the relationship with BP is the way I think we should move forward.” BP, rather than taxpayers, should be held responsible for the costs of the clean-up and liability, and under current federal lawhttp://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2010/05/Gulf-Coast-Oil-Spill-Does-the-Federal-Government-Share-Responsibilitythat is the case. BP is currently responsible for every penny it costs to clean the mess up. Furthermore, they are responsible for up to $75 million in liability costs (i.e. the secondary costs incurred by businesses and communities) directly, and up to $1 billion additionally comes from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. And the $75 million cap is waived if the responsible party is found to be grossly negligent. Calls to increase these caps retroactively are not needed and are more political expediency then either stopping the leak or mitigating its consequences. Equally frustrating are calls to raise the gas tax, and transfer the costs of this spill onto American consumers.http://blog.heritage.org/2010/05/17/oil-tax-hike-is-about-raising-revenue-not-clean-up/ And that right there, in a nutshell, is the problem not only with the Obama

What's Really Wrong with the Health Care Industry
... there are four major causes of rising prices in the healthcare market, and in every case government intervention has either directly cause or greatly exacerbated the problem. What's Really Wrong with the Health Care Industry Wednesday, May 26, 2010 by Vijay Boyapati On May 3, 2010, I gave a talk to a class of students studying public health policy at the University of Washington. I began the talk by asking the students how many of them believed that the current healthcare system in America was flawed; everyone in the class raised their hand. I then asked how many of them believed that the recently passed healthcare legislation, supported by President Obama, was a step in the right direction in reforming America's healthcare system. Once again, everyone raised their hand. While I agreed with the students on the first point, I disagreed that the recently passed legislation was a step in the right direction. My aim in giving the talk was to present the students with a consistent, libertarian, free-market perspective on healthcare reform, covering both the morality and the economics of why it would be desirable to eliminate government interference in the market. The Morality of Healthcare Reform One of the most important factors animating the libertarian rejection of public policy in general is the recognition that any state action must ultimately resort to the use or threat of aggression. As Ludwig von Mises observed, It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.[1] Libertarians who value justice and recognize that the use of aggression cannot be logically justified must reject all state action in principle this includes the use of aggression in implementing healthcare policy.[2] The Economics of Healthcare Reform A common argument advanced in support of greater government intervention in the American healthcare market is that a large and growing fraction of the gross domestic product (GDP) is spent on healthcare, while the results, such as average life expectancy, do not compare favorably to the Western nations that have adopted some form of universal healthcare. This argument is spurious for two reasons: A growing fraction of GDP spent on healthcare is not a problem per se. In the early half of the 20th century, the fraction of GDP spent on healthcare grew significantly as new treatments, medical technology and drugs became available. Growth in spending of this nature is desirable if it satisfies consumer preferences. Attributing national-health results to the healthcare system adopted by different countries confuses correlation with causation and ignores the many salient variables that are causal factors affecting aggregate statistics (such as average life expectancy). Factors that are likely to be at least as important as the healthcare system include the dietary and exercise preferences of a population. Another argument commonly used in healthcare-policy debates is that there are almost 46 million people who have no health insurance at all.[3] Again, this is not a problem in and of itself. According to the National Health Interview Survey, 40 percent of those uninsured are less than 35 years old, while approximately 20 percent earn over $75,000 a year.[4] In other words, a large fraction of those who are uninsured can afford insurance but choose not to buy it or are healthy enough that they don't really need it (beyond, perhaps, catastrophic coverage). The real problem with the American healthcare system is that prices are continually rising, greatly outpacing the rate of inflation, making healthcare unaffordable to an ever-increasing fraction of the population particularly those without insurance. If prices in the healthcare market were falling, as they are in other markets such as computers and electronics, the large number of uninsured would be of little concern. Treatments, drugs, and medical technology would become more affordable over time, allowing patients to pay directly for them. Identifying the cause of rising healthcare costs should be the first priority for anyone who seeks solutions to America's broken healthcare system. As I explained to the students in the public-healthcare-policy class, there are four major causes of rising prices in the healthcare market, and in every case government intervention has either directly caused or greatly exacerbated the problem. Employer-Provided Health Insurance Perhaps the most important cause of rising healthcare prices in America is the employer-provided health-insurance system. The very existence of the system is itself a very strange occurrence and a big hint that government intervention played a key role in its creation.

Re: Start the Revolution! Government is out-of-touch with the People!
No SCHOOL is a Jurisdiction of Government! At least five times in the last two months, those in supposed authority have flagrantly violated the civil rights of students, or of those attending school board meetings. (1.) An art teacher berated a female student for making a wonderful painting that depicted the American Flag—because the teacher considered such inappropriate… (2.) The Chairman of a County School Board violated the Free Speech rights of a citizen, because he didn’t like any inferences that schools err in not… stopping bullying (that had caused the death of a lovely female student…) (3.) A Hispanic Assistant Principle considered that white male students who had American Flags on their clothing, should be sent home on May 5th, because ’they’ could be inciting violence… (4.) A LUNATIC, Hispanic and socialist school teacher in California—who openly preaches hatred of America in his classes—went on TV and proclaimed that capitalism must be stopped… And the most recent: (5.) A female student who was wishing to attend a special credit course, violated the stipulation that there be no cell phones used. Her phone was not only confiscated by a teacher, but the files on the phone were searched. One of those files contained racy photos of the student, which she was considering sending to her boyfriend. The police were called, and that girl ‘could’ be tried for some crime… Folks, many times you’ve heard me say that education in this country shares about equal blame with ‘corrupt government’, and ‘corrupt media’ for our nation’s woes. Regarding case (5.), above: My New Constitution has the following MAJOR civil-rights-protecting clauses: “A crime’s seriousness shall be consistent with the mores of the People and the apt juries rather than with government.” “No government shall criminalize behavior that the Public considers to be innocuous, or is macro-typical, or where government isn’t being deferential to the Public; nor shall they: prosecute victimless crimes other than gross reckless endangerment; restrict the freedoms of Citizens through oppressive laws and procedures; enact laws too broad in scope to address narrow issues; pass laws disallowing any reasonable criminal defense, or solely at a bureau’s request; selectively or inequitably enforce any laws; impose unfair, drastically different punishments due to one’s sex, race, color, creed or age; nor sentence someone differently due to their having a prior criminal record. An arresting officer may reverse such with impunity at any time, regardless of the forms, procedures or processes begun. The arrested person shall be freed and the record expunged. Agreeable restitution to crime victims may, at their option, substitute for the apt trial.” “4th Amendment: *** People, their motor vehicles, boats, possessions, clothes, phones, computers and other personal or private effects shall be secure in their houses, or other abodes, or on the associated owned or rented property, or at their place of work against unreasonable searches and seizures. Warrants may be issued only with just, probable cause, supported by a recent eye witness’s oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. No warrant shall be issued based on supposition, chance or a presumed likelihood of finding evidence. The obtaining or issuing of a warrant without just, probable cause is a felony, as is the serving of a wrongful warrant by an armed officer(s). Law enforcement shall not presume that a major crime may have occurred or might be in progress because of a petty crime; nor shall arrests be allowed that are due mainly to a person’s propinquity to a crime. A person arrested without resistance who is not a suspect in a provable crime of violence, may be searched, but not shackled, if they voluntarily agree to transport themselves, or to be transported; nor shall shackles nor prison clothes be used during the voluntary transport of such person to or from a public proceeding or court. Anyone who is arrested, detained, searched or has property seized because of a warrant shall have a public warrant hearing within 24 hours. Such hearing, with competent counsel, shall be before the judge issuing the warrant; the basis for issuing the warrant shall be explained; all parties causing the warrant to be issued, including the judge, shall be available for cross examination. The rationale and constitutionality for the issuing of a warrant can, by right, be appealed to a higher court(s). Evidence from unreasonable search or seizure isn’t admissible in court… ” “All local, state and federal officer holders and employees—upon taking office or assuming employment—shall take the following oath: “I, (Name), promise to serve and be deferential to the People, and to be unbiased toward any group with a pro democracy, pro fairness ideology. I swear to honor and uphold the full civil rights of the citizens, as

Good old Swedish leftists
*Swedish Leftists Are Getting Bossy Again: *And, as usual, they are trying to tell the United States http://www.thelocal.se/26850/20100525/ what to do. Sweden will 'demand' that the United States closes all foreign military bases if the red-green opposition wins power. The policy is contained is a joint document from the alliance of the Social Democratic, Green and Left parties. It states: A red-green government will demand that the USA decommissions its nuclear weapons and military bases outside the country's borders. The policy document only mentions US bases, and does not call for Russia or EU allies France and Britain close bases outside their territory. It isn't clear what the coalition would do if they came to power, and we didn't comply with their demands. Threaten to hold their breath until they turn blue? Stop exporting parts for Volvos to the United States? (This is pure speculation, but the coalition may be indulging in this exercise because they have no plausible domestic policy. The current Swedish government http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden#Modern_political_system, controlled by a center-right coalition, has enacted some free market reforms, and even reduced the size of government slightly. From what I can tell, their policies have been moderately successful, and moderately popular.) - 6:45 AM, 26 May 2010 [link] http://www.seanet.com/%7Ejimxc/Politics/May2010_4.html#jrm8762 -- Thanks for being part of PoliticalForum at Google Groups.

FYI Libertarians convene
http://www.lp.org/news/press-releases/libertarian-national-convention-to-be-held-may-29-31-in-st-louis Libertarian National Convention to be held May 29-31 in St. Louis WASHINGTON - The Libertarian Party (LP) will hold its National Convention in St. Louis from Saturday, May 29, through Monday, May 31.

At this convention, delegates from around the country will be amending the party's platform and bylaws, and will elect officers and other members to the Libertarian National Committee. One of the highlights of the convention will be the hotly contested election to replace outgoing Chairman William Redpath. Five Libertarians have declared their candidacies in that race. Redpath commented, We're seeing tremendous voter antipathy toward the Democratic and Republican parties. This is shaping up to be an exciting year for the Libertarian Party. Currently, there are 632 Libertarian candidates declared for the November 2 elections, including 172 candidates for U.S. Congress. A list of candidates may be viewed here. http://www.lp.org/candidates-10 Among the speakers at the convention will be Bob Barr, the LP's 2008 presidential nominee.

A bipartisan group of politicians on Monday told FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, in no uncertain terms, to abandon his plans to impose controversial new rules on broadband providers until the US Congress changes the law. Seventy-four House Democrats sent Genachowski... a letter saying his ideas will 'jeopardize jobs' and 'should not be done without additional direction from Congress.' A separate letter from 37 Senate Republicans, also sent Monday, was more pointed. It accused Genachowski of pushing 'heavy-handed 19th century regulations' that are 'inconceivable' as well as illegal. ...unless something unexpected happens, the fight over Net neutrality will shift a few blocks down Independence Avenue from the FCC to Capitol Hill.
