(a) General Purpose- The purpose of the Commission is to gather and analyze information in order to make recommendations to Congress to–

…

(5) The effect on the Nation, on those who serve, and on the families of those who serve, if all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service.

(6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.

“Lots and lots of students lined up for the federal government,” said Alan C. More, employer in residence for U.S. government programs at GMU

To begin with, the legislation threatens the voluntary nature of Americorps by calling for consideration of “a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people.” It anticipates the possibility of requiring “all individuals in the United States” to perform such service – including elementary school students. The bill also summons up unsettling memories of World War II-era paramilitary groups by saying  the new program should “combine the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service,” while establishing “campuses” that serve as “operational headquarters,” complete with “superintendents” and “uniforms” for all participants. It allows for the elimination of all age restrictions in order to involve Americans at all stages of life. And it calls for creation of “a permanent cadre” in a “National Community Civilian Corps.”

The Obamessiah doth proclaim that all his subjects will serve under him for the greater good. This is an anti-freedom measure, just like the draft. Any good that may come of it will still be bad because it’ll be the result of force.

Fuck Obama.

Oh, and all those people who talk about the “national security force” from the campaign trail, we knew he was talking about Americorps, not some paramilitary organization. However, beneath the hysterical talk is truth. With permanent officials in community centers working on forced volunteerism, it’s a short side-step to use them as community police, pushing local governments to do more and more things in line with Americorps objectives (which would be Federal directives), and the more zealous would be like hoodlums with real power behind them… aka Nazi Brown Shirts. No President would want to get rid of them, and no permanent staffer would relinquish his/her job, so it’s just another tentacle of the Fed in everyday life.

Americorps: pretty on the outside, ugly as sin on the inside.

Oh, and almost six billion dollars. Remember when a B-2 bomber, going for about one billion each, was an awesome sum of money? Yeah, that was only last year that we thought that. The ridiculous sums of money being throw around is just a twist of the knife in this anti-freedom stab to the gut.

Heh.

“None other than disgraced senator Ted Stevens was the poor sap who made the unpleasant discovery that if Congress didn’t like the Fed handing trillions of dollars to banks without any oversight, Congress could apparently go fuck itself — or so said the law. When Stevens asked the GAO about what authority Congress has to monitor the Fed, he got back a letter citing an obscure statute that nobody had ever heard of before: the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950. The relevant section, 31 USC 714(b), dictated that congressional audits of the Federal Reserve may not include “deliberations, decisions and actions on monetary policy matters.” The exemption, as Foss notes, “basically includes everything.” According to the law, in other words, the Fed simply cannot be audited by Congress. Or by anyone else, for that matter.”

MEMPHIS, TN (AP) – A Memphis man who was driving his 83 year-old mother to a hospital says a Shelby County Sheriff’s deputy stopped him for an expired tag and did little to help as his mother died in the back seat of his car.

Great Kevin Smith Four-Part Interview With Lee Stranahan (about 45 minutes all together):

I think Kevin Smith is awesome. The dude is together and can make a decent movie. I do enjoy his talks a lot; I mean any man who can talk for hours without a glass of water is kinda impressive. I do dislike the way he puts himself down, but he explains why he does it in this series: as a way to preempt negative feedback from people. Kinda shitty to have to do that, but understandable. Eventually I hope he man-ups a bit more and doesn’t put himself down as much. Certainly the tactic works, but it also weakens his authority.

Keep on rockin’, Kevin.
