"Is that the same US Department of State that was funding opposition to Bibi Netanyahu during the recent Israeli Election?"

Good point--one and the same.

Nevermind LOL! Good to know because I’ve come to the conclusion that I was going to vote for whomever Norm was going to vote for:)

It has to be all about these “lawmakers”’ pocketbook. And the lack of ability of Republican primary voters to discern

If so, the “people” chose miserably in the 2014 Republican primaries.

It's also noticeable, that many lower echelon Democrats have written concerns about violations of certain constitutional rights to their discussion boards over the past few years.

Can you watch a YouTube video with your computer? If not, I can find a link. If so, watch the following. Overlook the funny boy who does the quick introduction, and pay close attention to what Marcin says.

Marcin Jakubowski - The Open Source Economy | @marioninstitute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIIzogiUHFY

That project is still active, but they only have a certain amount of funding and certain changing number of people for it (interns, volunteers,...). They switch back and forth seasonally between sub-projects.

Think about the ramifications and effects on the economy, social life and politics. Most people tend to behave in at least some ways that are more natural, healthy and productive than the pathologies that media/propaganda sponsors bait us with.

Long ago, for an effort in Czechoslovakia and Poland that helped lead many to more freedom, we eventually called it nonpolitical politics after the label given to it by one man. There was much more to it, though. The general effort of nonpolitical politics was that of engaging in healthy behaviors regardless of state policies.

They even rejected the linguistic activism of the political bosses and spoke in older, healthier terms. They didn't have much in the way of preparations and self-sufficiency before the general strikes, but they did their best and were successful.

We can become much more self-sufficient and have no need for a general strike.

There are other efforts outside of Marcin's projects, but we need many more of them and much more interest in general.

It's a major subordinate way to freedom. It also depends, of course, on the efforts of more people to honestly obey the original, infinite and unchanging will of G-d.

Our two major parties are subordinate to the money from elite corporate interests that fund their campaigns.

The Dems and Obama talk to the Left and throw sops like trade with Cuba and abortion in Obamacare and transgender rights in the military and so on to Lefties, then give big business the big stuff in the end.

We get Right talk from Republicans with their symbolic 20 week abortion bills that Obama would veto anyway and so on, but it means nothing since they go along with Obamacare and Amnesty only wanting to amend them, not end them because corporate interests want both.

“In a triumph of divided government, the Republican-controlled Congress passed major trade legislation Wednesday that was long-sought by President Barack Obama but vehemently opposed by most lawmakers in his party. “

Hit it, Groucho.

In 2012, Google and Apple spent more on patents than on research and development for their products.

Someone could photoshop this a bit to fit the TPA vote.

Now that we’ve passed it, do we get to know what’s in it?

Interesting points. Makes it easy to see when you do not watch the MSM. They are just monkeys for the organ grinder. Always thought that anti corporate stuff from the left was just naive anti capitalism. But they are partially right with respect to corporatism, as we are partially right with respect to cronyism. The monkeys dancing are keeping us apart. If we could vote as a block, could get rid of all these DINOs and RINOs, but probably too late for that as Emperor Zero solidifies his power.

Here’s a street-legal, open source American car (combustion engine).

It’ll do 0-62 mph in about 5 seconds and about 149 mph top speed. About 69 mpg. It uses race car tech., some race car parts (recognized from past personal experience) and is doable. Very low cost for what’s there (cost for an individual depending on building methods chosen).

http://wikispeed.org/car/

Free plans.

Very low cost for getting into manufacturing (see WIKISPEED site) and adding value with your own modifications.

I would like to see more utility vehicle projects in open source design.

There’s also a European open source car project—street-legal in the U.K., at least (electric or hybrid). Extremely low cost for European folks.
