Big government is a shady enterprise. Cloaked by state secrets, bureaucratic disorganization, and misleading press statements, government officials often obscure their errors and ethical failures behind “official stories” that don’t add up. When this happens, citizens lose faith in the motives of politicians and bureaucrats. As scandals mount, conspiracy theories emerge in folklore.
2012 was an extraordinary year for conspiracy theories. In fact, the year was special in that regard on day one, as an ancient prediction based on the Mayan calendar singled out December 21st, 2012 as a possible end date for the world. Not only that, but alternative media journalists, hackers, and whistle-blowers exposed unprecedented levels of government corruption. As we move on to 2013, let’s take a look back at some of the conspiracy theories that emerged during the past year.

In a shocking opinion editorial published yesterday in The New York Times, Louis Michael Seidman called for the United States to abandon its Constitution. In contrast with the mainstream view that the Constitution recognizes fundamental human rights, Seidman feels the government’s founding document is full of “archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil provisions,” primarily because it prevents the Democrats from raising taxes on the rich without somehow stopping the democratically-elected Tea Party congressmen from voting on the issue.
He blames all of the nation’s current ills on its alleged propensity for following the Constitution, despite the fact that almost every bill passed by Congress directly violates it. To further disprove his own point, he spends the rest of the article pointing out several historical examples of situations during which presidents ignored the Constitution. Could it be, instead, that our problems come from the fact that we never follow the Constitution?

See if this sounds familiar. A large corporation, one of those “too big to fail” types, is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. They’re gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands and begging for a bail out to keep themselves afloat. The next thing we hear the CEO and Board of Directors are getting are getting fat bonuses, the employees are getting laid off, and the company is drifting into insolvency. It’s a story as old as corporate fascism itself.
With that in mind, when you hear congress and their media cronies come out whining about how they need to squeeze a little more money out of your pocket or they’re going to have to lay off police and fire fighters, and throw old people into the snow, and let children be educated by wolves, and the roads, the roads, for God’s sake WHAT ABOUT THE ROADS!!! … Keep in mind that while the whole nation teeters on the edge of that fiscal cliff, Obama and Congress just gave themselves a raise.

Milk prices to rise in 2013
While taxes increase and the job market remains at a turtle’s pace, those of you who enjoy a warm glass of silk before bed can sleep peacefully, because farm fresh milk will become more expensive in the coming new year. The irony is as thick as the cream at the top in the recent news…
Some of you may not know, but every year the government buys up a percentage of farmer’s milk. In other words price-fixing, something that sends most people to prison. Not the government though. Read the rest of this entry »

Distopian sci-fi from The Hunger Games to Robot-Jox have speculated about fascist allegiances between media and military to produce gladiator style blood sports for our entertainment, but what if they got the gladiator part wrong? What if it turned out that audiences preferred watching innocent victims blown to pink mist from the sky? No rules. No games. No pretense of parity between two competing sides. Just indiscriminate slaughter. And why not? It’s already going on. The only question is, are the American people so desensitized that they could hold candle light vigils for the deaths of their own, but watch the deaths of others for entertainment. I think so. At least for some of us. And if a proposed arrangement between sports news giant ESPN and the US Military works out, we may be one step down that road.

First off, happy 90th birthday to Stan Lee, former head of Marvel Comics and co-creator of many iconic characters including Spider-Man. His contributions to American pop culture are immeasurable. Throughout the 20th century, heroes like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four have entertained and educated generations.
Meanwhile, after 50 years, one of Stan Lee’s benchmark characters has died. Peter Parker, the alter ego behind Spider-Man, loses his life in the 700th issue of Amazing Spider-Man. However, a “mind jar” type brain-switch scenario has placed Spider-Man’s body under the control of his arch nemesis, Doctor Octopus. But, wait, there’s more!

In the United States, citizens have historically viewed identification as a state-level function. As a result, national identification cards have always been a source of political controversy. When the Social Security Act first passed, Social Security cards were optional and bore a disclaimer indicating that they could not be used for identification. Fast forward decades later, and they are routinely used as identification by governments and employers. Social Security cards are hardly optional anymore — try working without joining the program.
In 2005, President Bush signed the REAL ID Act into law. This bill created a national standard and database for identification of citizens, a role traditionally held by the states through driver’s licensing programs. It compels the states to spend lots of taxpayer money, and even creates a database of driving and criminal records which will be made available to the governments of Mexico and Canada. However, the bill has been difficult to enforce due to resistance from state governments. In 2013, the REAL ID Act takes effect, and, according to the law, states have six months to get their licensing programs synced up with federal requirements. Citizens must have one by 2014 in order to do federally-regulated activities like boarding airplanes. “Papers, please” is about to become official federal policy.

The holiday spirit never ceases to amaze me. As all the awful things transpire across the globe this time of year really does bring out the best in many. Being a movie, a movement, that supports Rebels and not following the crowd and setting an example we wonder sometimes: “When does it all begin with someone? At childhood? A random act of kindness? Someone’s first protest?”
I have a feeling this act from a young man in Oklahoma is one of those transformative moments. Eight year-old, Chase Branscum, decided that this year he was going to set an example. He gave away all of his birthday presents from that year to children in need. If at eight years old this young man can learn to take the high road, it gives you hope for many more.
His generous donation went to the popular “Toys for Tots”, which might I add is one of the main charities motorcycle clubs do charity rides for. Read the rest of this entry »
