What's the difference between governments & market-based organizations?

The key difference between private market-based institutions and government institutions is we have practical ways to control market-based institutions.  --L. Reichard White, July 23, 2013, 17:22:19

Seriously twisted priorities - - -

When someone points out a robber, murderer or Peeping Tom, do you go after the robber, murderer or Peeping Tom -- or do you go after the person who points them out? 

So why is Uncle Sam going after Mr. Snowden instead of going after the FBI, CIA and NSA? 

Surprised by the U.S.?

The Liar's Rule of Thumb

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." --Chief NAZI "Information Officer" Dr. Joseph P. Goebbels

The Goebbels Gambit -- foundation of propaganda

"Don't tell them ... then it will not exist ..." --Chief Nazi "Information Officer" Joseph Paul Goebbels RELATED:  SECRECY :: Official Film Website

The Goering Protocol

"Why of course the people don't want war. ...That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." --Chief Nazi Hermann Goering

TURNING POINT:

"The legal hallmark of dictatorship has always been Preventative Law -- the concept that a man is guilty until he is proven innocent." --Ayn Rand

"Bear with us here. We are used to reacting to crime after it happens. Preventing crime before it happens is new to us and we must adapt. Prevention is now our top priority. We're learning with each new incident." --U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft: CNBC, October 16, 2001, 12:45:10

Orwellistan? Are we there yet mommy??

Well, are we??

Unfortunately the stuff below only starts with impeccable Democracy Now and from three nearly impeccable guests:

1. William Binney, an NSA whistle blower who worked as a manager there for more than 30 years,

2. Jacob Appelbaum, a TOR and privacy software designer and activist

3. Laura Poitras, an Oscar-nominated anti-war filmmaker intimidated by Uncle ~40 times because she is.

The REAL reason governments want you to work

Governments are so keen to get you to work because they take about half of everything you make.  --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, January 04, 2012 8:51 AM

"Right" or privilege?

You own a "right."  If it's a privilege, someone else loaned it to you.  Temporarily. --L. Reichard White, December 16, 2011, 12:58:44

A "Unitary Executive" we could love

What do governments provide that can't be provided by other organizations and/or means? --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, August 16, 2011 10:04 AM
