Government’s tyrannical grip tightens

If it weren’t for the nice cars we drive instead of Trabis, I’d swear we were living in East Germany c. 1985. Here’s the latest outrage from what I call the Stasi SuperSnooper State:

Feds Threaten To Arrest Lavabit Founder For Shutting Down His Service

from the either-you-help-us-spy-on-people-or-you’re-a-criminal dept

The saga of Lavabit founder Ladar Levison is getting even more ridiculous, as he explains that the government has threatened him with criminal charges for his decision to shut down the business, rather than agree to some mysterious court order. The feds are apparently arguing that the act of shutting down the business, itself, was a violation of the order:

… a source familiar with the matter told NBC News that James Trump, a senior litigation counsel in the U.S. attorney’s office in Alexandria, Va., sent an email to Levison’s lawyer last Thursday – the day Lavabit was shuttered — stating that Levison may have “violated the court order,” a statement that was interpreted as a possible threat to charge Levison with contempt of court.

This is pure Soviet/KGB-East German/Stasi socialism. It means Levinson doesn’t really own his business, and can shut it down any time he wants as if it were a hot dog stand. It means the government owns his business — and owns him and you and me. Here’s Amerika’s new national anthem.

D.C. protest against IRS planned for Wed.

For once, I wish I was in Washington, D.C., a dreadful place I haven’t been to since 1988, or 25 years. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the Tea Party is protesting the assaults on it and other freedom groups by the IRS-Stasi. I would love to attend. The Daily Caller reported:

“The gathering on the West Lawn of the Capitol is being called the ‘Audit the IRS’ Rally

“‘At noon tomorrow, we are going to tell the world about how the IRS tried to crush the Tea Party movement,’ organizers with the Tea Party Patriots organization said in an email to supporters.

“Thousands of volunteers will rally in the largest demonstration of Tea Party support since 2010.”

It was the Tea Party that was targeted by the Obama IRS to suppress their freedoms of speech and assembly. Doing so spread the notion around the country that the Tea Partiers somehow were evil — a demonization typical of repressive regimes, such as the treatment of the Kulaks.

Of course, the IRS-Stasi will just take their names and repress them even more. No doubt the NSA-Stasi also will be there, spying, harassing, repressing.

Maybe Washington, D.C. is a bad place for such a rally. A better place to start might be at Lexington and Concord.

Obama imposes United Stasi States

Republicans bear much of the blame for turning free America into the United Stasi States. They were the main ones who passed the laws, albeit with Democratic help, shredding our Bill of Rights. But they’re not in the White House now imposing the laws; Obama is. So he gets the majority of the blame.

Here are the DrudgeReport headlines today of what he has been doing to the land of the once free and the home of the enslaved:
