The Groping, Power Grabbing TSA Scam
April 1, 2012 by Szandor Blestman
Filed under Commentary
The TSA has become a poster child for government intrusion and ineptitude. It really is one of the worst excuses for a government program ever created. I’ve seen people refer to the TSA as anything from Thousands Standing Around to Total Sexual Assault. I have one of my own, Truly Scamming America. The only agency I can think of that is more hated by Americans would be the IRS. Yet there are still those who apologize for this horrendous boondoggle. There are still those who believe the hype and propaganda that helped bring about the agency in the first place. Perhaps for them there is no help. Perhaps they will always pray at the foot of the gigantic holy owl known as the federal government. Perhaps there are some people who will always wish to be enslaved, who need to be told what to do or they would be lost. I can only hope that one day they will come to understand their true power and the pride liberation brings. Read more
The Harmful Influence of Politics on Everyday Life
March 28, 2012 by Szandor Blestman
Filed under Commentary
It may seem to many of you that I like writing about politics. When I think back on it, I find myself thinking that actually, I don’t. I can think of so many better things to write about and I’ve shown this by my work as a novelist. I’d much rather be writing adventures and working with fiction than expressing my opinions on the political happenings in this nation and the world. The problem is, as I discovered long ago, politics doesn’t want to leave me alone. It wants to seep into every aspect of my life. It wants to micromanage my personal decisions. It wants to tell me what I can eat, what I can and can’t put into my body, what medications and medical procedures I can and can’t use, what businesses I can and can’t open, how I must operate a business when I open it, what I must accept as money from any given costumer, who I can and can’t marry, how I can travel, etc. They keep their hands in my pockets and their eyes on all my activities. In short, politics wants to control my actions from cradle to grave and make sure they get a piece of everything I produce during my time here on earth. Read more
Energy Independence and Disempowering the Mob

In these economically tough times, it might not be a bad idea to think outside the box when it comes to saving money. In fact, I wonder if wandering away from the principles this country was founded upon hasn’t proven to be our downfall. These principles were pulled outside the box long ago and the box given to us by big government controlled by multi national corporate interests became very comfortable. I believe they felt we would completely forget about the “quaint” ways of our forefathers and succumb completely to their domination if they made us comfortable enough. I believe we really missed the boat in a lot of ways, but that’s okay, there’s always another boat scheduled to leave port at some point in time. Read more
The Ring of Power and the World Economy

“One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.”
From “The Fellowship of the Ring” by J.R.R. Tolkien
I cut my fantasy reading teeth on “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” when I read the books way back when I was in the 7th grade. These might seem like difficult books for a 7th grader to read, but I was a voracious reader and these books posed a challenge both to my comprehension of the English language and my imagination. It took the making of the movies, excellently done under the direction of Peter Jackson I might add, and perhaps a more adult point of view, to really consider the parallels between this fantastic tale of good versus evil and modern economics and politics.

Super Ron Paul Victory on Super Tuesday

On this the eve of Super Tuesday, 2012, I’m going to make a prediction. I predict that Ron Paul will not officially win any state on March 6th, 2012. I’ll predict that, despite all the enthusiastic supporters and loud, cheering rallies, those who wish to see honest, citizen statesmen in office rather than the corrupt, bought and paid for career politicians will somehow forget to go to the polls and vote. I predict that, despite all the sign waving, billboards, grass roots donations, political organizing, and other complicated, time consuming activism that they spend hours engaging in, Ron Paul supporters will somehow be unable to find the fifteen minutes needed on election day to get to their polling place and cast their vote. Somehow, this extremely popular man expressing ideas most Americans are very familiar with – after all we brag so much about how great this nation is because of our freedom – is not as popular on election day as wealthy globalists who endorse freedom killing policies.

Paypal, Credit Cards and Government Censorship by Proxy?

As you all know, I am an independent author. It is my way of trying to make a living in a slow jobs market that shows no sign of ever getting any better as the powers that be continue to exercise the policies that brought about the financial disaster in the first place. I work hard to produce written content that people will want to read. I work hard to produce value in the story telling field, as well as working to express my feelings of how a free society should act. I work hard on my own even though I am most days not paid a penny, even though there is no guarantee I will ever see one dime from my hard work. If nothing else, I do try. Something has happened recently that threatens even this most modest means of trying to earn a living. Read more
Drugs, Medicines, Vaccines and the Freedoms to Discover and Believe
March 2, 2012 by Szandor Blestman
Filed under Commentary
There are several important principles I prescribe to and I try my best to adhere to them in my life. These principles form the basic tenets to building a free society. The most basic of these beliefs is the idea that you own yourself. Any person is the owner of their own body. No one should be able to force a person to do something with their own body that they do not want to do. No one should be able to force another person to eat a certain food, or take a certain medication, or ingest anything of any kind if that person does not want to, even if it’s supposedly for the benefit of that person, even if it’s for the benefit of all humankind. Only non coercive methods of convincing someone to partake in any kind of ingestion, injection, or procedure, invasive or non invasive, is acceptable, or we are not free. Read more
Stop Showing Up For the War

Filed under Commentary
Can you hear them? The dogs of war are barking. They’re getting very loud. These guys want to fight. They want to fight bad. They’re growling, snarling and salivating as they think about all the glorious death and destruction they can cause. These animals can’t wait to see the people melt. They hunger for the human misery they can cause,. They long to feast upon the mangled and dismembered bodies of their victims and wallow in the radioactive glow of rubble where fabulous cities once stood. This is the mentality of the sub-human leadership in a couple of well known nations. These vicious animals plan on being safe in their hardened bunkers while the peoples of their nations suffer from their arrogance and inept statesmanship. Read more
What if the GOP is Pulling the Wool Over the Eyes of Republican Voters?

Fox News has seen it fit to fire Judge Andrew Napolitano. His show “Freedom Watch” was, in my opinion, the only news program on Fox, perhaps on television, worth watching. He delivered the freedom message with great eloquence, consistency and integrity. He is certainly, again in my opinion, a much more watchable and likeable host than Bill O’Liely or Sean Scammity. He simply makes a lot of sense to me when he speaks. Read more
