big brother

The events below occurred on June 2nd at the Manchester, New Hampshire Airport; below are the notes that I took after the event occurred. Again, these are notes that I took after the event at the airport...

I arrived at the TSA Security Checkpoint at Manchester (MHT) airport at roughly 8:30 AM this morning. When I was asked for my boarding pass and photo-id I gave the agent my boarding pass only. He asked for my photo-id. I asked what would happen if I refused to give it to him. He replied “You have to.”

I asked, “can you show me the law that states that have to, because that request seems to contradict my 4th Amendment right?"

In an effort to curtail those nasty illegal aliens, the Federal Government now is trying to introduce and pass legislation that would give them, the State, oversight on hiring of employees across the nations 7.4 million employers.

Hmm, that's odd. My copy of the Constitution doesn't provide them with this power, interesting.

So, if this bill were to become law I can see the new bureaucracy now. The "Ministry of Labor" (who knows who will provide oversight of their hiring process) would have your number, know when you work, who you work for, how long you worked for them, etc. And if you "accidentally" get put on the "no hire list"...you can kiss your job, future jobs and any unconstitutional social program from helping you out.

Here's a link to the law... RSA 286:1

And BikerBill's description of the event on the following video is perfect:

Dave Ridley threatens civilization as we know it -- indeed, the very fabric of society -- with unauthorized capitalistic (and very handsome, I might add) puppets. Chaos ensues. Nobody notices...

So, the Real-ID card was passed a few years ago and a few states have opted out. What is the federal government to do?

Oh, I know. Let's make it even more difficult by placing the Real-ID requirements on the Social Security card. That's a great idea! Kids cannot go to school without a SS Card so they will grow up not knowing any better. Adults will have a hard time getting a job in some places without a SS Card. Let's see those so called "freedom folk" find their way out of this paper bag.

They must really think we are stupid...here's an excerpt (full story here).

And all along, I thought that our country loved Big Brother...

What a Strange Place Canada is

A few days ago, I was interrogated for 90 minutes by Shirlene McGovern, an officer of the government of Alberta. I have been accused of hurting people's feelings because, two years ago, I published the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in the Western Standard magazine.

Ms. McGovern's business card said she was a "Human Rights Officer." What a perfectly Orwellian title.
