Cops, Cops Everywhere: Cinco De Mayo Profiling

While the mainstream news media and politicians continue to "politicize" the recent old "new" law in Arizona written mostly by the civil rights lawyers in that state clearly for their own "stimulus" with respect to the rather broad and open-ended language contained in it and using the race card inappropriately to racket up the temperatures of the citizenry for both of the mainstream political parties benefit, as a former long term Arizonan I had an interesting experience this past month upon returning to that state for a brief 48 hour turnaround trip for a family member's graduation.

I, of course, left the state fairly quickly as one of those affected by the border situation, and costs of ownership of my home which necessitated relinquishing my ownership "nonrights," when a plea went out to those attending to support an added sales tax increase in order to purportedly fund the universities and schools, when Arizona's schools are funded through property taxes, and as a divorced single mother, both my ex-spouse and I had paid those taxes through the nose while our children were growing up there while watching property and insurance rates also skyrocket.

But while traveling through the State of New Mexico along the interstate highway to Arizona it seems the State of New Mexico has its own version of "profiling," both racially and otherwise.

There were at least a dozen of those expensive electronic highway safety signs that were flashing the message, "Cops, Cops Everywhere...May Cinco de Mayo DUI Blitz," or words similar to that effect.

While the Obama Administration has also been using Arizona's new law for its agendas in pursuing another Reagan era amnesty for the estimated over 12 million illegal immigrants in this country at the present time - once again, without any real permanent fencing or border security per the 2006 Fence Act - his National Highway Safety Council apparently is doing its own "racial" profiling regarding the timing of these DUI stings and in some states even, road blocks.

At these road blocks citizens at random are presumed to be possibly under the influence during select holiday weekends, since most of these sting operations are occurring during the spring breaks or other holidays.

Conveniently, May happens to be the month when both Cinco De Mayo is celebrated throughout the country at this point (a Mexican holiday, not U.S.) and graduation celebrations are in full swing.

These "saturation patrols" are compromised mostly of off-duty police officers for added pay under federal grant monies given to the states for such purposes so that they will tow the line in federal mandates in this respect under threat of removal of federal (and state) highway funding - one of their true Constitutional duties, of course rather than handing out monies for the next Woodstock Museum, or bridge to nowhere - mainly at the behest of that now temperance organization, MADD, and the global and national bankers, once again, and insurance industry.

The cities and states, of course, love those laws since the fees and fines now are so high they can also receive double revenue for those minor offenses (civil matters if not involving property loss or injury to another).

Many of the states have quietly sold some of their jail facilities to private entities, of course, leasing them back at higher costs to the public or turned to such facilities as "tent city" in Arizona in order to gain even more revenue, since those states then also receive added revenue by the head for those who are arrested and cannot now make their bonds due to the amount of those fines and fees even for first time offenses, many of whom are then serving jail time before they are even arraigned or have entered their pleas.

I wonder if this, too, could be classified as "racial" profiling?

Or simply governmentally facilitated "terrorism," on the public.

It seems Granddaddy does seem to speak out of both sides of its mouth when push comes to shove, and wonder whether such barricades and "checkpoints" that are used now for insurance and DUI "searches and seizures," will also become the norm?

"Let me see your papers," also includes those mandatory insurance barricades and checkpoints in some of those states that are also now conducted "in the interest of public safety" outside Arizona after Big Daddy spoke back in the 1970's using the same tactics for those nationwide laws for mandated citizen control also at the behest of mainly the insurance industry using again removal of highway funding, didn't they?

How come Saturday Night Live hasn't done a skit on THAT?

As a former Arizonan who has seen it all and watched this situation progress for the past forty years, I am opposed to the law in its present form for many reasons, but primarily because without the needed border fencing and security, it simply is addressing the symptoms and not the cause at all.

We are looking at serial amnesties here for political purposes at the cost, once again, of the natural and naturalized Americans progressively since any such attempt by Congress would be the second in two decades. Generational amnesties.

If it is the federal government's intent to simply turn the West and Southwest back over to Mexico and Canada, too, since so many Canadian snowbirds also live in those Sunbelt states more than six months out of the year or own second homes there, maybe there is a great deal in that NAFTA free trade agreement with those two countries that those Americans living in the West and Southwest and Sunbelt states simply haven't been told.

Especially since foreigners now are progressively gaining Bill of Rights protections under a Constitution that is now more protective of foreigner's rights, than Americans.

Like hasta la vista, baby.

They now have been given squatters rights as the new international states of Canifornico, Mexicanzona, Nuevo Mexico, and Texico.

Washington Giving State Governments The Pink Slip?

For Any And All Conserve-ative Constitutionalists:

With everything that has progressively occurred under the Bush and now Obama Administrations in the ever increasing Constitutional violations with respect to overstepping their proscribed duties and functions and being the intended "lesser" government with respect to the effects directly on the American people, I feel it is an important time to ask a very basic question:

When is Washington going to give the state governments the pink slip?

More and more federal mandates have come down the bureaucratic rabbit hole to the states now even to the point where seat belt laws and DUI traffic patrols are federally trained and funded. Local police services now are prioritized at the federal level, whether they be officers for Los Angeles or Des Moines.

Federal EPA standards on particulates are also federally mandated and apply to the Pittsburg steel manufacturers, Louisiana oil rigs, and Nebraska farms alike.

Since most states already fund programs for health care for those who are denied coverage by private insurers, or indigent or uninsurable for any reason, especially children under both federal and state funding by the taxpayers, just what is this health care reform movement all about anyway except in order to centralize more and more power in Washington, and less and less at the state and more local levels.

The government that is most responsive and in touch with the people is the one that is closer, not the "distant rule," which is why it was the states, not the federal government, that was intended to have the greater power with respect to domestic issues other than defense of this nation from foreign attack or invasion.

Which is the primary job it actually has not provided except in stimulating Silicon Valley and the science based "gadget" industry economy now eight long years after 9/11 in it continued refusal to still not protect with a physical deterrant our borders from the drug cartels, auto theft rings, or other foreign invaders compromising the citizenry and their safety, security and property.

Trials are now held nationally on the cable news networks before ever being placed before a jury for national consumption, all backed by federal grant monies as "educational" resources. The largest owner of America's media fare now consisting of Fox TV and Wall Street Journal is a former Brit, who merely became a U.S. citizen in order to buy up a portion of America's media for his own personal British style political forum, using sensationalized style of journalism in that country on politician, celebrity and average citizen alike. Unbridled hearsay and innuendos dished out 24 hours a day now for public consumption. The more sensationalized, the better.

The competition on the "other" cable stations and networks then responded in turn with "this just in" style reporting ad infinitum, and even when the market was speaking and cable news subscriptions were being cancelled right and left, effectively used fascist style lobbying and got Washington to pass the digital cable bill forcing Americans to carry their products whether they like it or not.

All presented with an air of "professionalism" and "respectability" using mostly former teachers or non-practicing lawyers as "news commentators" or "political analysts." Thus making due process and impartial trials consisting of peers of the accused in the state in which the crime was committed almost impossible in any capital or criminal proceeding in this country.

Truth and integrity in journalism has been replaced by tabloid journalism at even now the local news level fed by the Washington bureaus and affiliated stations which follow the same formats. Even down to the news anchors, clones of the national versions.

Banks and banking concerns in this country are incorporated at the state level. Washington stepped in and then "saved" numerous California domiciled banks, rather than those banks utilizing the formal bankruptcy process for the districts in which those banks were incorporated and outside Constitutional authority so to do.

Grabbing another state function and protection of the citizens, since formal bankruptcy proceedings are a matter of public record and involve accountability to the state in which they are located and which has authority over their commercial practices, since effectively there are no "national" banks anymore. Or at least none that are recognized at the federal level - although 3/4s of them are member branches of the Federal Reserve itself.

The states each session other than play acting balancing their states budgets (which never reflect federal sums received in those budgets) simply go through the motions of passing legislation that is now handed down by the feds, so much so that instead of being the intended barriers for the citizens against federal abuse, they are nothing more than agents of them.

Local and municipal governments are now under federal control and mandates, such as the DUI patrols, and now terrorism involved in the Ad Council advertising for the "Click It Or Ticket" campaigns.

And the Department of Homeland Security conducts training sessions for local patrol officers now in counter-terrorism through its Fusion Centers, and now even a local traffic stop in most communities is handled as if those officers might be dealing with a potential terrorist with guns or tazers drawn.

While, of course, Americas southern borders remain for the most part unfenced and unsecured.

So just when is Washington going to get around to handing out those pink slips, anyway? Or the states themselves finally acknowledging that they had long ago without the "consent of the governed" ceded their intended superior legal authority and power to the distant ruler, removing all pretense of the Republic this nation was intended to be, and to which we as Americans pledge our allegiance to. A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

The sums paid for those positions that are no more than middle management at this point would save the citizens a bundle in taxes and be a major stimulus on our economy, streamline the bureaucracy and overlap, and eliminate this charade of a Republic which has dissolved into nothing more than a Washington monarchy once and for all.

The Tories have taken over the Capitol. The British aren't just coming, they are already here America.
