Surveillance State

Sure, plate readers and cameras solved THIS crime. Still, how many millions of cars drove by and were catalogued to catch this one criminal, and what is all of that trace data being used for?

Using security camera footage from the apartment and nearby businesses, the detective determined Sterns’s Lincoln left the Venetian Bay Village apartments on Feb. 26 at 7:40 a.m. and then returned around 10:14 a.m.

Sterns’ vehicle left the apartment complex again at 11:03 a.m. and returned 53 minutes later, records show.

The Lincoln left the apartment a third time around 12:44 p.m. and travelled east along U.S. 192 towards St. Cloud where it was photographed by traffic cameras…

At 1:16 p.m., a security camera at a charter school captured video of a car with a similar color, style and size driving southbound on Old Hickory Tree Road.

The same vehicle was recorded heading northbound on Old Hickory Tree Road around 2:11 p.m., records show, before returning to the apartment at 2:43 p.m.

Tracked by at least half a dozen cameras and several plate readers. How much data do they have on YOU?

ATF Approved

There are vending machines in Alabama where you can buy ammunition, and its even approved by the ATF. Sounds like a great idea until you see how its being executed. You insert your ID, and the machine analyzes you using a camera and facial recognition to see if the picture on the ID you inserted matches.

Any takers want to take bets on whether or not your ID and picture are forwarded to the ATF? I just don’t trust anything that our government approves of, especially not those dog killing assholes at the ATF.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

Eric Fiedler declared war on Seminole County license plate readers, dismantling 22 of them before being caught. He was arrested June 1 after deputies noticed missing Flock Safety Falcon License Plate Readers (LPRs), which the sheriff’s office deployed to identify passing cars for surveillance purposes.

Note that no one in this story is asking why police are carrying out general surveillance of citizens who are not suspected of committing crimes.

When you realize you’re being tracked every day going to the grocery or church or school, and you didn’t have any say in it, it’s a little concerning to me,

Big brother, indeed.

Our Government is Evil

78,000 firearms have been confiscated in Mexico that came from the US. Half of the top sources of these smuggled guns were acting at the behest of the ATF. In fact, the top 5 gun stores that were the source of these firearms accounted for 1102 firearms. The ATF, during Operation Fast and Furious, is known to have been responsible for more than twice that number.

Mexico has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against American gunmakers, as well as accusing five Arizona gun shops of selling guns that crossed the border and were used in crimes. The problem here is that most of those guns were knowingly sold to drug cartels because the ATF told them to do so.

Uriel Patiño was notorious for being the top straw purchaser in the Fast and Furious debacle, purchasing 700 guns under ATF’s watch. Our government is trying to make this happen, which was the entire point of Fast and Furious- to make the gun problem on the border so newsworthy that they would get more power and more budget money.

It is obvious that the bureaucracy is running the government, and the politicians are merely grifters who are under their complete control.

Militarization of the IRS

The IRS has spent tax week training new agents in “dynamic entry” of suburban homes.

They are not doing this to target drug dealers and organized crime leaders. The government is preparing an independent army of IRS agents who can work undercover, spy on citizens, and seize assets.

You don’t need machine guns to catch tax cheats, you need accountants armed with calculators and spreadsheets.

Statists: “Weapons of War do not belong on Our Streets. They are evil machines whose only purpose is to kill dozens of people at once”

Also statists: *give assault weapons to the Department of Agriculture and the IRS*

Nudges

This is why I get sort of aggressive when responding to comments on here that suggest I should be out there doing something instead of just posting on this blog. The government is out there trying to “nudge” people into breaking the law. IOW- entrapping them.

Second Amendment Questions

A leftist judge, in an obvious attempt to make the Second Amendment look ludicrous, has ruled that the law prohibiting illegal immigrants from possessing firearms is unconstitutional.

The case at hand centered on Carbajal-Flores, who was “charged with possession of a firearm while illegally or unlawfully in the United States.” He had a handgun in his possession “in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois,” on June 1, 2020. He was charged for being a non-citizen in possession for a firearm.

Question 21l on the 4473 asks if the buyer is an alien illegally in the United States. The law in question is 922(g), which is the same law that prohibits felons, fugitives from justice, veterans with dishonorable discharges, citizens who have renounced their citizenship, people who are under a domestic violence restraining order, and those who have been convicted of domestic violence form owning firearms. Are we to believe that all of those people are now permitted to own firearms?

The court ruled that it is unconstitutional to prohibit someone who has never been convicted of a felony, a violent crime, or a crime involving the use of a weapon from owning a firearm. Think about the implications.

Now consider that this is the first time a Second Amendment court decision that affirms someone’s right to own a firearm hasn’t been protested by the left. Why is that? It’s because the left isn’t antigun. They are anti-people that they don’t like owning guns. Since they love everyone, including brown people, their own security details, and others who follow leftist orders, and hate themselves some white people, any gun decision that favors illegals is something the left will support.

Illegals with guns will be the left’s foot soldiers in the coming Civil War. Picture the military aged males pouring across the border, mostly with military equipment. Now ask yourself what’s going on here.

Now combine that with the man in Plant City, Florida who tried to buy a firearm while there was an ATF agent in the gun store. The agent believed that the man smelled like marijuana, so he ordered the gun store to deny the sale, even though the man had passed a background check for the handgun and denied that he was under the influence of marijuana. In a case earlier this month, the DOJ argued:

Because they are not responsible citizens, unlawful drug users and addicts do not have a Second Amendment right to possess firearms.

DOJ, in their brief for the appeal to SCOTUS of United States vs. Daniels

How is it possible that a person who uses drugs is not a responsible citizen, and can thus be denied the right to keep and bear arms, but an illegal alien, who is neither responsible nor a citizen, has Second Amendment rights?

The answer is simple: your government is at war with you. They are using the law and your rights as weapons against you.

How I Would Be on the News

If I am standing on my porch more than 30 feet away from a cop that is making an arrest in my driveway, and the cop walks over to claim that I am interfering in his arrest to arrest me, we are gonna have a problem. However, that’s exactly what happened in 2019 in Vallejo, California.

First, he has a motorcyclist at gunpoint, but holsters his firearm before showing the motorcycle rider his back. I would argue that the cop never really felt that the rider was enough of a threat to justify pointing a gun at him.

Second, you come onto MY porch because I am filming your empty headed conduct from 30 feet away, then you try to arrest me? Things will not go well, and we are going to be on the news that night. Just because you are a cop doesn’t mean that you get a free pass to violate my rights in my house, and I don’t give a shit what court decisions you have that claim otherwise.

But Burrell says [the cop] told him that he would let him go because he was a veteran, thanked him for his service and let him out of the car.

Bullshit. This hotheaded cop realized that he was making a HUGE mistake and used the “you’re a veteran, so I am letting you go” as a way to try and correct his error.

Burrell said he then went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a concussion. He is still seeking treatment and says his fingers remain numb from the handcuffs.

This is 100% tyrannical bullshit. I am normally a “let’s fight it out in court” kind of guy, but once you are on my porch, that shit goes out the window. Is that a threat? You bet your sweet ass it is. Just watching this video pisses me off.

Officer David McLaughlin has also been involved in two shootings since joining Vallejo police. He and Officer Matt Komoda fired on a suspect who was allegedly driving at them before crashing into a parked car on Aug. 31, 2016. No one was injured.

If you shoot like shit, it’s not a good idea to be driving around acting like an asshole while you point guns a people. Sooner or later, someone is going to accept your challenge. He has already shot at two people in his ten years as a cop. Most cops go their entire career without shooting at anyone.

Similarly, if I wind up on a jury in a case like this, I am going to oppose whatever this miniature tyrant’s position is. In this case, the Marine veteran got paid $300,000 by the city.

Don’t Be a Victim

This is why I have video cameras covering my property and a video doorbell. I don’t answer the door in person, especially at night. I might be home, or I might be on a different continent. This cop mag dumped on a woman for having the audacity to be armed in her own home.

Under these circumstances, some return fire from 5.56 green tip would be appropriate. Aim for the belt buckle when you clap these assholes. You might as well take 3 or 4 of them with you.
