Is Prison Necessary? Ruth Wilson Gilmore Might Change Your Mind In three decades of advocating for prison abolition, the activist and scholar has helped transform how people think about criminal justice.

MFP Commentary:

“….calling for government investment in jobs, education, housing, health care — all the elements that are required for a productive and violence-free life….”

She is calling for socialism/communism and to march towards a New World Order.

Prisons do need to be reformed. They certainly are not biblical. i.e. based on restitution.

The solution is not socialism BUT liberty and freedom. Her solution sounds as if the global elites have been whispering in her ear. This situation is very much like the “abolitionists in 1865. Freeing slaves was the right thing to do BUT look deeper and you see that abolitionists were socialist and funded by the elites. More socialism is definitely NOT the answer. More freedom is and that should start with a criminal justice system based on restitution.

Seeing that this article was published by the globalist NYT I think that while we do need to eliminate prisons that  her “solution” is clearly evil  and globalist in nature.  We need to explore a biblically based solution IMHO.  A solution  based upon freedom rather than slavery.

Freedom Requires Restoring Our Republic

Freedom Requires Restoring Our Republic

The United States was founded as a limited-government republic. That meant a federal government with very few and limited powers. That’s what the Constitution was for — not only to bring the federal government into existence but also, at the same time, to set forth its few, limited powers. If a power wasn’t enumerated, then the federal government was not authorized to exercise it. A close examination of the Constitution shows how few and limited such powers were.

Why didn’t the Framers instead use the Constitution to bring into existence a government with omnipotent powers? After all, in this new governmental scheme, the president and the Congress were to be democratically elected. Why not vest them with the power to do anything they deemed necessary and beneficial to the country? Why tie their hands with few and limited powers?

The reason is simple: The American people would never have accepted that type of government. Remember: After the Revolution, the American people had been operating for 13 years under the Articles of Confederation, a type of governmental system in which each state retained its independence and sovereignty. Under the articles, the states had simply come together in a confederation. Under this type of governmental system, the federal government’s powers were so few and limited that the federal government didn’t even have the power to tax.

That’s the way the American people wanted it. The last thing they wanted was a federal government of general, omnipotent powers to do the “right” thing for the nation. Americans were convinced that that type of governmental system would end up being a grave threat to their freedom and well-being…..Read More

Trump Signs Ambitious EMP Preparedness Executive Order

MFP Commentary:
Let’s pray that this is not a day late and a dollar short.
This shortcoming was definitely planned by the internal enemies of these United States.  It still may destroy us.
~MFP

What’s in the executive order?

The Executive Order on Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses is a first step toward learning more about how an EMP would affect us and how to protect critical infrastructure.

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) has the potential to disrupt, degrade, and damage technology and critical infrastructure systems.  Human-made or naturally occurring EMPs can affect large geographic areas, disrupting elements critical to the Nation’s security and economic prosperity, and could adversely affect global commerce and stability.  The Federal Government must foster sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective approaches to improving the Nation’s resilience to the effects of EMPs.

The Order outlines the responsibilities of specific offices to help get the country ready for a threat to the grid and sets up a 4-year plan…..Read More

Superhighway To Serfdom: The US Tax Plantation By Bill Buppert

Superhighway to Serfdom: The US Tax Plantation by Bill Buppert

Publisher’s Note: Here we are in another deadline for paying the king and country their ”fair share” of honest wages and wealth earned and resources capitalized. Much like the burgeoning welfare state comprising one third of total government spending in 1900 on Union pensions from Lincoln’s bid to crush the entire nation under a Hamiltonian boot that foreshadowed the Bolshevik revolutions in the twentieth century.

Taxes advance barbarism and not civilization.

They promote the notion that death and taxes isn’t necessarily the right sequence if you stand up and refuse to be robbed. All government is based solely on hitting and stealing and rationalizing all forms of anti-social behavior and legalizing piracy and plunder and calling it an enterprise for your own good. I always find it hypocritical when the communist can view taxes as just while at the same time ranting about keeping the full product on one’s labor [thanks DeFo]. Go figure.

Governments are nothing more than sophisticated brigand bands with bad music, colored rags flapping in the breeze and large bands of armed thugs with a license to kill.

We all pay at the peril of our children and grandchildren as we feed the beast that makes life more and more centralized, regulated and less than optimal…..Read More

Hidden Epidemic: Death By Hospital By Bill Sardi

It is only a matter of time now……. we must read between the lines.  Public health authorities are not forthcoming about a fungal infection that has been stealthily killing people for over a decade.  There will be no safe place to run to.  Hospitals will be cordoned off.  Nurses will refuse to go to work.  Human populations will die off in large numbers, starting in areas where anti-fungal herbicides have been employed that spawn drug resistance, as an ongoing public health threat that has been hidden for too long, spreads beyond hospital walls and now cannot be reversed.  That is a predictable scenario given the following facts that have been hidden for too long.

Health authorities are not going to tell the public what is really going on.  Most hospitals are threatened with being quarantined and even shuttered if not completely avoided by a frightened public. Visitors will not be allowed to enter.  The health threat posed by a treatment-resistant fungus – Candida auris – is unprecedented.  It has a 30-60% mortality rate!….Read More

ANALYSIS: Deep state behind arrest of Julian Assange in last-ditch desperate effort to take down Trump with forced “confessions”


(Natural News) ANALYSIS: The arrest of Julian Assange was actually triggered by DOJ AG William Barr telling the world that yes, Obama’s deep state operatives spied on Trump campaign officials. Now, the deep state is in a total panic, and they are pulling out all the stops to try to frame Trump and derail the DOJ investigation that will reportedly lead to criminal indictments by June.

Those likely to be indicted include Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan, James Clapper and many others who attempted to carry out treason against America, as President Trump stated today. They attempted a coup; they got caught; and now they are going to face the legal consequences of their lawless, criminal actions. (The entire left-wing media was also part of this criminal conspiracy against America… will the fake news journo-terrorists ever face arrest for their role in the plot?)

But the deep state isn’t dead yet. They still run large groups of operatives inside the State Department, the FBI and even the DOJ. And traitorous globalist criminal Barack Obamasits on top of all these groups, running “the resistance” from his command bunker near the Capitol in D.C. Make no mistake: Obama is behind the arrest of Julian Assange, and the gambit here is to pressure Assange to fabricate accusations that implicate President Trump in the “Russia collusion” hoax that has already imploded….Read More

“Audible” the audio book company is stealing customers credits

I have so many issues with the company known as Audible that I will only be able to scratch the surface.  The latest issue is that I have paid for 2 credits that I do not want to use right now  as I have more books  than I can listen to.   So I was going to cancel my  membership for a bit so that I could catch up.
In doing so I found out that Audible is no different than your stereotypical neighborhood thief.  They will destroy (steal) the credits that I have already paid for. (they sure as hell don’t ever tell you this up front)  If I  continue the membership,  I will  have 3 unused credits next month.  And if I decide to cancel at that point they will steal all 3 credits that I paid for.  So it just gets worse if you continue.

I was hoping to use the credits that I have to purchase books in the coming year that I was interested in.   Audible will not allow that, my only obvious choice is to choose books that I am not interested in.

This company has been a scam since day one. I carefully avoided both Audible and Kindle both for nearly 20 years before I made the mistake of using either of them.

Here is an illustration of one of the many issues that I have had with Audible owning the books that I buy, rather than my owning them:     Yesterday I   tried to open the Audible app to listen to a book that I had just purchased.  (You can not use any other app to listen to “their” (not yours) books.   The app would not update after an hour of messing with it.  So I could not listen to the book that I paid for but they really own.  I have had a plethora of seminal issues  of being denied access to  “my” “Kindle” books.  Note: the app will not update and for 2 days I have been unable to listen to any of the books that I ostensibly “own”.

This is a continueing saga if you use either Audible or Kindle.  The US Justice Department should be all over them IMHO.
I  still have to resolve this issue created by the criminals at Audible before I can read ANY of the books that I have paid good money for.

In closing,  the last time that I could not read or listen to a book was when Amazon thought that I had a book on too many devices (you are not told before you purchase of this restriction)  and would not let me open a book on my phone until I returned home, hunted down an offending device and deleted the book on that device.    In summary both with Audible and Kindle expect to be abused, stolen from,  and prevented from using your property in the manner  that you wish.

I am tempted to contact the MO attorney general’s office, but my experience from the past is that like the rest of government, they could  a damn about you the taxpayer, that is unless your issue is some PC issue that they wish to focus on. Otherwise they reply with a letter stating that they are not your personal attorney.

BUT if you know of “animal cruelty”  this office will all of a sudden (in their words)  become your personal attorney.
So if Audible were being cruel to an animal the AG’s office would be interested, but not if Audible is sealing from you.

Look at the PC complaints that they will respond to here:
