Today we have the largest assortment of technology to solve crime. I am not talking about Kevlar helmets and vests, MRAPS and M-4's. I am talking about science. Yet, despite this gain in science ask any agent or investigator and they will point to a stack of files in their office of crimes they cannot solve. It is not for lack of trying. They will all tell you honestly, tearfully how they worked all those cases till the paper work was thread bare, as well as their lives, families and careers. Hell, they may have even violated some one's civil liberties just trying to extract information.. But they simply cannot solve those crimes..
Sometimes we lose.
I do not come to this story lightly. I am still holding hope that everything I have researched is anecdotal. I believe that our law enforcement is tasked with the most thankless and most dangerous job right next to our armed forces. Both are blamed and held to a higher standard of conduct for any infraction. In a Constitutional Republic we must always bear this vigil to any one in any uniform.
Something has gone wrong though.
I have written these words before in this blog, but they still hold weight worth saying once more.
It happens in every state, every county of those states and in (virtually) every city and town of those states. .. See, I even parse my words at the end of that statement hoping that all of this anecdotal.
Our law enforcement is now openly adopting a mentality that every single American citizen is a potential threat and should be approached, dealt with and remanded, according to this precept. Any attempt by said citizen to question, film, defend themselves, resist, argue, or fight back against any violation of their implicit and defined Constitutional rights are subject to arrest, potential assault by law enforcement; and in too many tragic cases, death.
We have all been 'pulled over'. Now, recount that anxiety (ok, take a Xanax first). You immediately run a Windows Security Program in your head! Your mind is on full overdrive. And it is never one officer. It is usually two. One on your driver's side and another one on the right side with a flashlight illegally looking into your car... "Well, we are looking for weapons..".. Didn't you run my plate on your computer? Did you not see all my colon-esque' information?
Now, you slowly touch the window button to only allow a few inches.. Please do this slowly. Cops tend to have hands on unlocked, un- holstered weapons at the ready. But you are not allowed that.
Imagine that anxiety? Now, your confusion, awareness, adrenaline overload becomes a reason for suspicion. Everything becomes a reason to suspect. Nothing is allowed to procure innocence.
"Why are you so nervous?"
" Cause I have two armed officers surrounding me??"
" We are not accusing you of anything."
" Ah, yes you are or we would not be having this conversation."
Here it comes..
"Step out of the car, please.."
You are immediately hand cuffed for the officer's safety... What about YOUR FUCKING
SAFETY??? Oddly enough any attempt to say no results in a felony. You are actively avoiding and resisting.. Amazing; escaping tyranny is a felonious crime.. WOW!! What are we, circa 1400 Europe?
"Think I saw something like this once, but I couldn't understand what the person was saying because the film it was in was written in GERMAN!!".. George Carlin.
I have over 100 examples of police tyranny on my computer alone gathered just this last year. I have it in Youtube, writing, news feeds.. It has become a daily research for me because of the show I produce. I also have hundreds of examples of cities and towns adopting oppressive warrants giving law enforcement more power to arrest, detain, search, confiscate and are being supplied with more and more military class weaponry.
It was our own President who insisted military style weapons do not belong on American streets then days after the bombing of the Boston Marathon tanks and uniformed agents of local, state and federal units were patrolling the city of Watertown and ordering people out of their homes for unwarranted searches. The scary thing is that it unfolded live on television right in front of our faces and no body said a damned thing. I heard more than one television pundant utter those infamous words; ".. Well, if you have nothing to hide??"
The Supreme Court has even ruled five to four that your right to remain silent can be used as evidence against you of your guilt. After all, if you have nothing to hide, right?. In fact prosecutors can now use your nervousness against you as evidence. Swampscott Massachusetts city councilor asked his legal advisors to look into enforcing a completely nonsensical law that demands all legally owned guns be locked away and dismantled. Too many criminals were being shot by prepared citizens during break ins and so Massachusetts had to pass this law to protect criminals. The legal team's recommendations suggested a surprise house to house search of every registered gun owner to check on compliance.
I mean, if people have nothing to hide right?
One must stop and wonder what gerbil on a wheel died inside this city councilor's head causing him to even ponder such stupidity. What equal amount of gerbils died in the legal team's heads that they all didn't laugh out loud. Just remember we elect these people. Chew on the bone for awhile.
The new paradigm is that all citizens are potential criminals. I can perfectly understand an offer's apprehension on approaching a vehicle they just flagged down. You never know what lunatic is behind that driver's side window. But it certainly doesn't help to exacerbate the situation by being a complete dick! Don't these officers remember what their mothers told them? How to be respectful, polite, professional and to never pass judgment on people?
The best defense against police oppression is to be well informed of local laws, state constitutions as well as our national one. It is well worth the time to get to know Supreme Court decisions regarding past infractions of civil rights and how the court decided. I would go so far as to have printed copies at hand in your glove box.
Earlier this year I had the most unpleasant encounter with a gang of thugs dressed up like cops. They had police cars, guns and badges and claimed they were cops but I have yet to see any evidence of professional behavior that, at least alludes to them being cops.
My daughter (13) had a friend of hers sleep over for the weekend. After the weekend was over she went home. Seems innocent enough right? I later found out (during my encounter) that this girl was in foster care and had run away. I didn't know, my daughter didn't know and kids lie like rugs anyways.
So, one day I am in the basement in my rec-room plinking away on the computer writing my latest round of drivel to The Lexington Green. I can hear a commotion above my head, the dog was going nuts and so I got up to see what was the matter.. I was met in my basement hallway by six very large, very well armed (guns drawn) police officers. I spotted two in the back pounding on another door to my son's room demanding to be let in. I promptly ordered them out of my house. They didn't like that.
I pointed to their guns and told them we have children in this house and to put away their weapons. I was then informed as to the reason they had broken into my home. I calmly instructed them to please step outside and we will discuss this calmly. They have no cause or warrant to be in my home.
"What are you, a lawyer?" Cops love to use that line. I think it is in a handbook they carry with them. Law enforcement for dummies.
Once outside there was a representative from Socialism Services and I was introduced. I told her flat out she and her jack boot friends had just violated article 4, 5 and 6 of the United States Constitution. I also turned to the supervisor and told him the same thing. I then eyeballed all the other officers and told them how a Supreme Court decision made recently could place them all as co-conspirators to the supervisor's orders and subject to a lawsuit.
"That doesn't apply here." Said the state hack. I informed her that she doesn't apply here and she is lucky I do not sue her for orchestrating a raid on my house based on absolutely nothing. I did file a complaint to the Internal Affairs division but you know nothing will ever come of it. I later called the woman's supervisor at Gestapo Central and read him the riot act. This guy was such a stooge of taxpayer funded hackery that he was mentally incapable of seeing any thread of logic to what he and his accomplices had just done.
"Well, Mr. Maider, if you have nothing to hide then there is nothing to worry about." He said to me and hung up the phone.
They could have shot my dog. This happens a lot with adrenaline addled police officers. They assaulted my daughter who went to the door to look out by knocking her to the floor. They almost broke my son's door because he refused to open it. I was almost tased for trying to defend my home.
I was also informed I could have been arrested for (get this) resisting arrest. See, now police can just arrest you for resisting. Resisting what? Don't I have to be arrested for a crime in the first place THEN resist arrest?
But the expansion of authority is no longer based on prudence, civil rights and protection of the innocent. Authority is now remanded into the hands of any one who wears a civilian uniform. You would never, in a million years, see a professional soldier behave like this. Police do it every day across this nation. They also seem to be inventing charges as they go along. My friend was arrested last year and one of the charges was being in possession of 'burgalarious tools'. He had a screwdriver in his glove box. Is that even a statute? I cannot even find the word 'burgalarious' in Webster's Dictionary and spell check is having a melt down trying to fix it as I write.
This is also why a person is never charged with crime A, B or C. Today they are charged with half a dozen or more erroneous charges. Possession of this, failure to do that, obstructing this, that and the other thing and , of course, resisting arrest. Like the gang that couldn't shoot straight I guess if they toss out enough baloney something is bound to stick eventually.
You can be arrested for just about anything. During the Overpasses Protest a protester was assaulted by a police officer who walked across the median from the other side, punched the protester and arrested him for... Protesting. Any one caught filming can be arrested. An elderly man was shot and killed in California while watering his lawn. The police were convinced he was brandishing a deadly hose nozzle. Citizens are no help either. People call the cops for anything and everything now. Cops showed up at my place last year while we were having a cook out. The neighbor said we had a bonfire going. My friend next door likes jazz and tends to throttle it up while he washes his car during the summer. Apparently this is not allowed. He was fined $500. The next day the Africans had a soccer match right across the street and gave a play by play of the game over a huge sound system that boomed across the neighborhood.. That must have been ok because no cops showed up that day. Oh, and Ghana won that day.
The worst areas are small towns. Cops are literally bored out of their skulls in Jerkwater USA. Do not drive through Northborough after they roll up the sidewalks. You could be Jesus Christ himself and a cop WILL pull you over. I know, I grew up there. Cities tend to be a little better because cops have bigger fish to fry. Except for my house being invaded that one day most of my city experiences have been pretty low key.
Interestingly enough I go about the city sporting a large hunting knife on my belt. With this knock out game BS I go armed from now on. Besides, I live in Worcester, the gangs are just as well armed. I have not had one officer question me. I take the bus, go into city hall, the library, rallies, events, Wal-Mart, etc. I carry it openly and without concern. So far, so good.
After all, I have nothing to hide. Right?
.... And That Is The Diatribe....

Asleep And Comfortable
" More than 9,000 Americans are killed annually by illegal immigrants." Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa)
I spent Monday night and Wednesday night attending two very important seminars where Conservative groups and Tea Party groups met to discuss issues that are not just growing in magnitude but have exploded and now affect every single community and citizen from coast to coast.
They are the demise of our Constitutional sovereignty as a nation and the loss of individual liberty, the (almost complete) removal of our Second Amendment Rights and the rampant plague of Illegals on our soil.
George and Poppy Carlton are from Norfolk England and are members of a prestigious family. They came to The United States along with a film crew to document their pilgrimage across the country. They came to The Canal Bar on Water Street in Worcester Mass, Monday Nov. 4th to attend a Tea Party meeting. It was standing room only.
George spoke of how hunting was now banned in England. He spoke of the confiscation of firearms from rural farming communities. Many families in these areas are poor and still depend on hunting as a way of life and sustainability. Hard to believe in an island nation as small as Great Britain still has rural areas where a way of life is supported by wild game hunting, but it does still exist. In the adjacent communities surrounding Norfolk over 300 game hounds had to be put down because the families could no longer support and feed their dogs once hunting was banned.
Jim Wallace of the Gun Owners Action league (goal.org) spoke at length of the labyrinth of gun laws already in existence around the country, especially here in Massachusetts. Many Americans firmly believe that arming our police and Federal agents is the only protection we need against crime. Yet those same Americans know full well the ability of government to abuse it's power and are quick to blame politicians for all the corruption, wars and corporatism. According to Wallace, if you put these two ideas together than Americans are perfectly comfortable giving all their guns to a tyrannical government that has the power and authority to kill you.
Over 6000 pieces of legislation are filed through the Massachusetts State House each year. Wallace spoke of a meeting with a legislator who wanted him to speak on gun laws in Massachusetts. He responded that he would need at least an eight hour seminar to fully explain all the regulations.
When the unfortunate death of a 13 year old at a gun range occurred, the state AG was asked by the press if it was legal for that child to be using a gun in the first place. He responded by saying " I can find no law that allows this to take place." Well, apparently our elected officials do not understand the purpose of a law. A law is not written to grant some one a right or even a privilege ( unless they do so for themselves) it is written to negate and/or deny such a right or privilege (which they do all the time).
In broaching such a question as that reporter did we enter a whole new realm of our concept of the role of government and the making of laws. We no longer want laws that protect people, or promote the common good, or even punish criminals. We are asking our elected officials to pass laws that deny us more of our basic rights. We now find ourselves in an America where there are more restrictions on what we can do than there are restrictions on things that we shouldn't be doing anyways as a civil society. We completely redefine the parameters of Constitutional jurisprudence.
Catherine White who founded the website constitutiondecoded.com. gave a stirring account on the actual limitations of government and what the Founders purposely put in place to avoid the mess of big government we have today. The concept amongst many on the Left of wealthy white slave owners writing a flawed document have no idea of the actual history behind The Constitution and the blood spilled to bring about our great Republic.
When the Declaration of Independence was signed by over fifty people they each signed under the words "..We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor..". Every single one of those men did just as they signed. They lost everything. Yes, they were all wealthy, white and many owned slaves.
They lost everything.
They lost their land, they were captured by the British and tortured, they lost their money, wives, children and they lost their lives either in combat or poverty.. But they never lost their honor.
Nine of the thirteen colonies were slave states and in order to ratify the Constitution they had to compromise and discuss the slave issue later or this whole Republic would never have come to be.
One of the questions posed by Poppy Carlton was "Do you 'like' President Obama?" This was an interesting insight into how some people think we in The Tea Party feel about the current Administration. Catherine was very astute in her reply. It was not a matter of 'liking' the President. Catherine said what many Americans feel. That he is possibly a good man, a good father and husband but it is his policies that (as Catherine said), ".. border on treason."
As she spoke about what rights really are she was clear in her delineation from where our rights come from. They are inalienable and are born under the notion of 'property'. Not in what you own per-se' but in the very first thing you own as an individual and that is yourself. These are defined in the words of John Locke himself:
"Everyman has a property within his own person."
When people begin to think that the ownership of one's body is negotiable then we will have tyranny and anarchy. The concept of 'choice' in the case of abortion covers only one of the 'bodies' involved, the mother. Roe v Wade does nothing to address the rights of the second body involved, the baby in the womb. Definitions of what constitutes a life in the case of pregnancy is a veiled legal excuse to commit murder.
Our slow demise into the concept of America as a Democracy has allowed decisions to be made at every level of government based on a majority vote without regards to the protection of liberties to the minority. This is a function of Fascism. A majority vote can take away your property including your life. In a Constitutional Republic that simply is not allowed.
Where this gets turned on it's head is when you have a small minority of politicians, advocacies, and constituents passing laws and regulations that affect every one while disregarding the overwhelming majority of opposition to such actions. We often hear the axiom of 'What is right isn't always popular and what is popular isn't always right'. Unfortunately deciding what is the 'right ' thing to do is a wholly subjective act. Passing a law based on the right thing to do may have disastrous effects on many others. Yet, we have entire segments of society clamoring for imagined 'rights' based on this notion.
The gay marriage issue in Massachusetts and California is a prime example. Despite two referendums in both states where over 70% of voters rejected legal gay marriage the LGBT groups lobbied legislators and State Supreme courts in an end run to get the statutes reversed in their favor. It is a well known doctrine of the LGBT Alliance not to just reach equality under this new law but to redefine the whole concept of marriage and to do away with the concept of 'traditional' marriage.
Forcing Americans to purchase a health policy they do not want and cannot afford paves the way for the government to force Americans what to drive, when to drive, what to eat, when to eat, how to work, where to work and will someday be the sole determining factor into how our lives will be lived. In effect, by passing the ACA we have set upon a course that will take away our most sacred inalienable right. Our own selves.
On Wednesday night Nov. 6th I attended a seminar in Hudson Mass. hosted by film maker Dennis Michael Lynch. His award winning film "They Come To America Parts I+II" is an awakening on the plague of Illegals that now occupy every single state. This is not a racist film. He has been accused by the Left and La Raza of that very thing.
Not one of those members has ever sat through his documentaries.
The caliber of questions at some of his film lectures all center on "why are you a racist?" If the answer he gives does not fit into the narrow mold of political correctness the shouting begins. Those who lobe those bombs end up learning nothing as I have learned from attending his seminar.
The Left always wants the Right to "talk to a Latino" yet the Left never wants to talk to the ranchers along the Mexican border who have to live in fear, have to sleep armed at the ready, have to count their livestock every day and wonder why they are missing a few, have to chase trespassers away, get shot at and (many times) bury neighbors who are murdered at the hands of drug mules.
This is not, I say again, this is not a series of isolated incidences that bear the excuse of 'a lack of understanding'. This goes on every day in these people's lives. On too many occasions, as I watched the film, many ranchers reach out to these people only to have their help rewarded with theft, rape, destruction of property and no sign of help from Border Patrol. The Border Patrol is specifically told not to assist American citizens.
Illegals have no idea what racism is. Just ask any black American over the age of fifty and they will tell you what true racism is (or was). In fact many illegals get exactly what we on the Right have said time and time again. They do get welfare, they do get free medical, they do get housing, they do get social security numbers, visa, work permits, fuel assistance and an EBT card. Even those who are caught get a free check up, a hot meal, a bed and free ride back across the border. All paid for by the tax payers.
The misguided idea that illegals do the jobs Americans will not do is completely fabricated. With black American unemployment over 25% and many single women, teenagers unable to find the most menial job it is truly racist that we are pushing an agenda to allow illegals to get in front of the line to citizenship ahead of Unemployed Americans. Dennis filmed scores of Americans in unemployment lines, welfare offices, abandoned neighborhoods, black community leaders who completely rejected that whole premise.
The Department of Labor and Immigration were formed together during the first wave of immigration at the turn of the century to specifically protect American workers from an overwhelming wave of foreign workers. That entire system is now completely broken down.
"Why is it that Time magazine will put illegals on the cover and yet, I am packing theaters on Tuesday nights and I can't even get an article?" Dennis Michael Lynch.
Because the 'rule of law' does not sell in America. Polarization does. Thirty second sound bites get the attention, the one guy they find in Arkansas who is a racist gets the spotlight. Politicians pretending to address the issue gets the spot on CNN. A concise discussion with concerned citizens will never see the light of day.
Along the Rio Grande at the Texas/Mexican border are miles of shanty towns festooned with garbage, debris, abandoned belongings, old cars, mattresses that are dumped into the river on the Mexican side. Small skiffs with armed men are tied up on the Mexican side. They make daily runs across the river to the US transporting people, weapons and drugs. In one part of the film Dennis caught on camera 'scouts' in parked automobiles mile after mile.
In many areas of the southern desert are way stations with a five gallon Igloo container of water, a first aid kit and a 'panic button' that you can press if you are in distress. Help will arrive. The sign attached to the way station is written in English, Spanish and Chinese. Recent funding is to update those signs to include Arabic.
Agents find prayer rugs, Korans, abandoned backpacks with letters, photos, hand drawn maps and books all written in Arabic
Scary, isn't it?
"The rhetoric is so disconnected from reality." Terry Goddard, former AZ Attorney General.
According to Rep. King of NY, Hezbollah and the Mexican drug cartels have entered into a partnership to assist easy access across the border. The few Hezbollah infiltrators who were captured were involved in a plot to detonate bombs in Washington DC.. With an average apprehension rate of under 10% it boggles the mind to think how many more potential terrorists get across the border and have set up shop in the United States.
Copyright theft is a big problem in American companies. Many Chinese illegals get access to sensitive corporate information and book one way tickets back to The Middle Kingdom. This very thing happened to the Motorola Corporation in 2012. According to Rep. King he is unaware of The President or Janet Napolitano ever reading the ICE report concerning the Chinese problem or the link with Hezbollah.
"... to often the 'border security first' refrain too often simply serves as an excuse for failing to address the underlying problem... Our borders have never been stronger.. " Janet Napolitano.
During a photo-op, members of 'The Gang of Eight' went to the border and witnessed a person coming across illegally. Of course they were apprehended and Sen. McCain tweeted the event. What Dennis Lynch told the crowd in Hudson Mass. was that the person caught was either a plant for the photo-op or a decoy. As he explained from his extensive experience on the border people cross with two things. A back pack and a jug of water. The person caught was empty handed. He further explained that agents there told him that while the border patrol is busy detaining this one person another fifty or one hundred are crossing down the road where the agents are no longer present.
The release of over 2000 hardened, repeat illegal offenders occurred in 2012 just after The President's State of The Union speech. The release was blamed on looming budget cuts. Despite a letter to DHS in April of 2013 from Lynch asking for an explanation the details remain classified.
Closing the border would cost significantly less than crime prevention perpetrated by illegals in NYC alone according to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
We have adopted a new lexicon of government knowing best. That lexicon is defined by a small minority. It (again) turns the concept of our Republic on it's head where the protection of minority rights is overthrown into the minority now determining our national policies. While we decry the influence of lobbies we tend to focus on corporatism and ignore other more sinister advocacy lobbies. As long as we are asleep and comfortable and safe we delude ourselves with the dream of freedom. Meanwhile, outside our slumber is a driving force that we will wake up to; and discover our delusion of freedom has evaporated, like dreams often do, when we finally open our eyes..

Dennis filmed scores of Americans in unemployment lines, welfare offices, abandoned neighborhoods, black community leaders who completely rejected that whole premise.
The Department of Labor and Immigration were formed together during the first wave of immigration at the turn of the century to specifically protect American workers from an overwhelming wave of foreign workers. That entire system is now completely broken down.
"Why is it that Time magazine will put illegals on the cover and yet, I am packing theaters on Tuesday nights and I can't even get an article?" Dennis Michael Lynch.
Because the 'rule of law' does not sell in America. Polarization does. Thirty second sound bites get the attention, the one guy they find in Arkansas who is a racist gets the spotlight. Politicians pretending to address the issue gets the spot on CNN. A concise discussion with concerned citizens will never see the light of day.
Along the Rio Grande at the Texas/Mexican border are miles of shanty towns festooned with garbage, debris, abandoned belongings, old cars, mattresses that are dumped into the river on the Mexican side. Small skiffs with armed men are tied up on the Mexican side. They make daily runs across the river to the US transporting people, weapons and drugs. In one part of the film Dennis caught on camera 'scouts' in parked automobiles mile after mile.
In many areas of the southern desert are way stations with a five gallon Igloo container of water, a first aid kit and a 'panic button' that you can press if you are in distress. Help will arrive. The sign attached to the way station is written in English, Spanish and Chinese. Recent funding is to update those signs to include Arabic.
Agents find prayer rugs, Korans, abandoned backpacks with letters, photos, hand drawn maps and books all written in Arabic
Scary, isn't it?
"The rhetoric is so disconnected from reality." Terry Goddard, former AZ Attorney General.
According to Rep. King of NY, Hezbollah and the Mexican drug cartels have entered into a partnership to assist easy access across the border. The few Hezbollah infiltrators who were captured were involved in a plot to detonate bombs in Washington DC.. With an average apprehension rate of under 10% it boggles the mind to think how many more potential terrorists get across the border and have set up shop in the United States.
Copyright theft is a big problem in American companies. Many Chinese illegals get access to sensitive corporate information and book one way tickets back to The Middle Kingdom. This very thing happened to the Motorola Corporation in 2012. According to Rep. King he is unaware of The President or Janet Napolitano ever reading the ICE report concerning the Chinese problem or the link with Hezbollah.
"... to often the 'border security first' refrain too often simply serves as an excuse for failing to address the underlying problem... Our borders have never been stronger.. " Janet Napolitano.
During a photo-op, members of 'The Gang of Eight' went to the border and witnessed a person coming across illegally. Of course they were apprehended and Sen. McCain tweeted the event. What Dennis Lynch told the crowd in Hudson Mass. was that the person caught was either a plant for the photo-op or a decoy. As he explained from his extensive experience on the border people cross with two things. A back pack and a jug of water. The person caught was empty handed. He further explained that agents there told him that while the border patrol is busy detaining this one person another fifty or one hundred are crossing down the road where the agents are no longer present.
The release of over 2000 hardened, repeat illegal offenders occurred in 2012 just after The President's State of The Union speech. The release was blamed on looming budget cuts. Despite a letter to DHS in April of 2013 from Lynch asking for an explanation the details remain classified.
Closing the border would cost significantly less than crime prevention perpetrated by illegals in NYC alone according to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
We have adopted a new lexicon of government knowing best. That lexicon is defined by a small minority. It (again) turns the concept of our Republic on it's head where the protection of minority rights is overthrown into the minority now determining our national policies. While we decry the influence of lobbies we tend to focus on corporatism and ignore other more sinister advocacy lobbies. As long as we are asleep and comfortable and safe we delude ourselves with the dream of freedom. Meanwhile, outside our slumber is a driving force that we will wake up to; and discover our delusion of freedom has evaporated, like dreams often do, when we finally open our eyes..
.... And That Is The Diatribe....
