The London-based Syrian Observatory for [url=http://www.girlsbushes.com/hairy019/bushabu.html][color=#000000]Human[/color][/url] Rights said four people were killed when security forces opened fire on protesters in the northeastern city of Deir Ezzor, as demonstrators gathered in the city's Freedom Square.

The group, citing an account from a [url=http://www.extreme-weird-objects.com/objects/aplant2.html][color=#000000]doctor[/color][/url] in the city, said 10 people were also wounded, some of them critically.

The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency published a report saying that "veiled armed [url=http://www.pantieupskirt.com/x/hm/pix.htm][color=#000000]groups[/color] [/url] on Thursday tried to put up barriers on roads in Deir Ezzor province."

"The armed groups also [url=http://www.rawsexthrills.com/fat/a04b/1c.htm][color=#000000]forced[/color][/url] shop owners to close their shops in the city, terrified families, threatened citizens and destroyed some stores whose owners refused to respond to their demands."

Good article. I think it is also possible that the US government wishes to create a public paranoia about Mexico and Mexicans. Mexico is once again talking about remonetizing silver. There is a lot of support for it within the Mexican government and amongst its citizens. The US has stirred up trouble in other countries to protect US financial hegemony in the past.

Granted, the US welfare state, War on Drugs, and immigration laws are all bad things and have contributed to the situation on the border.

Nevertheless, I believe it's ridiculous to allow an armed incursion to continue on US soil -- and it certainly shows that supporters of a "warfare state" are NOT getting their way in US politics right now.

Why? Because America has faced the problem of invasions by Mexican gangs before, and dealt with them successfully. And the method we used then is one both I and the warfare-statists would try again now. See:

I have some solutions to the problems with illegal immigration: Ending drug prohibition and doing away over time to the welfare state.

That's really all it would take. Of course, that would also take power away from the State, and we can't have THAT, now can we?

Will,

Thanks for your tireless campaign for liberty and thinking outside the box.

Great article.

I wonder how this country will eventually break up? Like Yugoslavia? I have some solutions to the problems with illegal immigration: Ending drug prohibition and doing away over time to the welfare state.

Will, have you read about this one.....CHL holder, West Point graduate, Duke MBA, killed by police outside of Costco? Witness accounts differ from police accounts. Seems like maybe he was given contradictory instructions and gunned down when he tried to comply with the wrong one:

"Brewer and her allies aren't in the reality business. Like narcotics pushers, they're in the business of promoting altered states of consciousness for profit..."

What a line! Nails it all so succinctly. The people are zonked on propaganda. They cannot reason, and they have no desire to reason. The proposition of more war is like taking another hit. Frightening.

If the majority of Americans or voters fit this description and we are mirroring the life of a real addict, then without an intervention, we must wait to hit bottom. Either way, this is not going to be pleasant.

I don't hold out much hope. As another commenter said above, "Who with any sanity would want to immigrate here.[?]"

2010-07-11T10:14:14.255-06:00

Paul Babue is not the Sheriff of Pima county, Clearance Dupnik is, and has been as long as I can remember. Babue is Sheriff of Pinal county, which encompasses huge retirement communities just north of Tucson and in Casa Grande. His county lies between Pima and Maricopa counties, which makes him north of Tucson, and south of Phoenix. So, his jurisdiction is not actually on the border. Pima County borders Mexico, Pinal County does not.

Nativism - alive and well in Amerika. What better way to appeal to the most base elements of the electorate - particularly when they are at their most vulnerable point- unemployed and barely able to make ends meet. Sounds like Germany right after the collapse of the Weimar Republic. Makes one just want to bug out.

2010-07-10T00:23:29.175-06:00

Ending prohibition is never considered as an option while more force and harsher penalties continue to be offered and accepted as solutions. After more than forty years of buying into the escalating idiocy ("murderous fraud") one begins to wonder if the majority of Americans have become senile fools. Perhaps if they read something other than the sports page it might activate just a few normally inert brain cells and yield a small amount of enlightenment but miracles are few and far between these days.

Will, my response is too large to post here, so I've posted it as the latest entry of my own blog (no shameless plug intended).

In a nutshell, you've nailed it, as usual. Only I fear it's worse than you describe.

Bravo, bravo, BRAVO, Will!

I cannot thank you enough for exposing the unmitigated disaster that is Arizona, a state that ranks down at the bottom with Mississippi and Louisiana on the "hope" index. Sadly, the picture that you paint is actually even grimmer than you describe, for none but a tiny minority in this state (one that I'm proud to be a member of) can even conceive of Arizona being anything other than a combination of saharan nursing home that relies on the bankrupt social security system and a giant open-air subsidiary of the prison-industrial-police-state complex. Even if the political will and wisdom existed to slash the size of the state government and repeal the onerous taxes and regulation that are strangling anyone with entrepreneurial aspirations and to foster economic growth (most of which is in the "underground" economy of goods and services offered by "illegal aliens" the redneckleptoplutocratic ruling classes are targeting) through benign neglect, the state's demographics work against it.

In addition to having a geriatric majority, Arizona, as I've mentioned here and elsewhere, is plagued with a school system that has been ranked third worst in the nation for the last decade, each year turning out thousands of high school "graduates" unable to fill out a simple job application or make proper change for a five-dollar bill (this is NOT an exaggeration - come visit me in Tucson sometime and accompany me to the local convenience store or fast food joint to see for yourself). Also, the percentage of the adult population, particularly in the Phoenix-Tucson corridor and the surrounding counties (including Pinal) that is incapacitated by chronic substance abuse is astronomical compared to other economically-developed parts of the nation. This precludes most from ever becoming part of a pool of skilled, educated, dependable labor that is essential for any genuine economic development or recovery. Thus I believe that it is no accident that state-corporate parasites like Wackenhut Security so eagerly recruit here, given the massive pool of uneducated and otherwise unemployable creatures who have no other options but to starve or go on the rapidly vanishing dole.
