Our Enemy Is The State: Part II

Would it not be better for all concerned if  the State and local governments took responsibility for building their own roads and highways? Yes, there can be a standard in how these roads must interconnect with those of adjoining states, but it need not be a federal mandate or regulation.

It seems that the needs of the local communities are best served by the local government(s) without federal intervention.

For every dollar the federal government takes from the taxpayers in each State, only a fraction is returned to the States due to the overhead of a bloated federal bureaucracy. These tax dollars are best left to the individual States to decide what serves  the highest good for the benefits of their taxpaying residents.

It is yet another way that the federal government removes liberty from the People. The State governments must comply with the federal laws, mandates, and regulations, often to the detriment of the liberties of the people they represent.

An idea that would best serve the benefit of the People is the Solar Roadway concept of Scott Brusaw. Solar energy used for power, to light the roads and provide information displays to motorists, a truly smart grid that also contains telecommunications, all enclosed within each roadway panel.




This is an idea that would benefit the nation, but it is not even being considered by the federal government. Why? 

While billions if not trillions of taxpayer dollars were wasted on companies like Solydra, The solar roadway concept languishes. The shame of it all is to detrimental effects not only  to the economy but to transportation itself.

Liberty is taken from inventors when the government takes control of businesses. Isn't it time We the People do something about it?

Our Enemy Is The State! Part I

 In his book



Our Enemy the State, published in 1935, Albert Jay Nock could not have any idea that liberty would have deteriorated to such an extent as it has in the present.

The responsibilities given to government will decrease the power of the People in proportion. It is inevitable that when people seek to become dependent on government, the government will take on those dependencies at a very high price: your liberties will erode until you have only privileges instead of rights.

Just imagine if local communities took responsibility for building roads. This task while seemingly complex, can be accomplished through cooperation with other communities more efficiently than relying on government. And local contractors hiring local workers would benefit, thereby stimulating local economic growth and prosperity.

Even when errors are made in engineering, it would be much simpler to remedy a few miles rather hundreds of miles of government mistakes. Not to mention the fact that government would use most of the funding to pay for studies and that which is left would not be sufficient to build anything.

Today we are faced with a runaway government that wants to restrict all freedom and only allow certain privileges to the People. The rewards will be rationing of the basic necessities of life rather than the freedom to choose what an individual considers his or her necessities.

"This is the gravest danger that today threatens civilization: State intervention, the absorption of all spontaneous social effort by the State; that is to say, of spontaneous historical action, which in the long-run sustains, nourishes and impels human destinies."

Jose Ortega y Gasset, 1922

In each installment of this series I will address each area that was once a choice and now has become a regulated privilege or mandatory program of government. I encourage readers to comment and offer their own experience and insights into the problems we face and the solutions to restore liberty to the republic.

9/11: What Really Happened?

Over the past decade, I have watched many shows on television, videos on YouTube, and read many articles and essays about conspiracies and false flag operations in regards to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Most offer good speculations and theories, many of them are convincing enough to indicate that buildings that collapsed that horrible day were demolished by explosives. Many eye witnesses who spoke up on that day, confessed to hearing explosions just before the towers collapsed.

All of these raised questions, but none of them provide the 'smoking gun' evidence that most skeptics require as proof, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Today I happened to run across a video that to me at least, is very convincing as it puts so many puzzle pieces together. While I am certain it will not bring charges against any co-conspirators, it at the very least will convince many on-the-fence skeptics that there is much more going on than what our government admits.






I really want to see your comments regarding this and please share it with others.
