Month: November 2022

 

Way, way back in the day, people were able to participate in government. Maybe not easily nor individually, but it was possible. WAAAY back in the day, you could even ignore the government on most days because what it did, didn’t impact your daily life.

The reason people are fleeing Blue States is not because of high taxes, regulation, Social Justice etc.

The reason people are fleeing, is because it’s their only option against high taxes, regulation, Social Justice etc.. We are no longer participants in our government.

 

We Can’t All Run To Florida

A conservative’s argument to stay and fight.

Stay and fight… how, exactly? The Regime isn’t big into power-sharing, in case you haven’t noticed, Jim.

I decided in January to leave Chicago. My reasons mirrored those of most people leaving the city: crime, taxes, traffic, and the lack of support for police from politicians.

Better to say, the lack of participation opportunities for Real Americans. Having problems is one thing. Not being allowed to solve them is another. It’s why I get less upset at the existence of evil than the existence of stupid. This world hates Christ, I knew it when I signed up with Christ, but I didn’t sign up for…

A Tennessee county is under scrutiny for passing a preamble to an official document that assures commissioners act with “Judeo-Christian values,” a move even the county’s own attorney − along with outside experts − say is a violation of the First Amendment.

Sigh, that’s why my allies look like. I didn’t sign up for Stupid to sell me out.

“The only thing that this states here is ‘Judeo-Christian values inherent in our nation’s founding’ — it’s just referencing history,” Commissioner Matthew Shoaf said. “We’re not placing the Ten Commandments up and stating that we’re going to abide by that code. We’re only acknowledging specific historic context.”

Don’t lie about your intentions and history, Commissioner Judeo-Christian. The only way forward is to start imposing our morality on them, just like they’ve been doing to us. Furthermore, placing the Ten Commandments in public buildings and obeying them was what many of the Founders actually did. Not to mention Ben Franklin’s warnings regarding a certain tribe.

But [the Freedom From Religion Foundation] and other experts say the preamble could be seen as an “endorsement” of Christianity, opening the county up to a lawsuit.

Ironically, Judeo-Christianity is a sabotage of Christianity. I despise the FFRF but at least they know what they want and try to get it.

I don’t want a lifeboat, not really. I want to be a participant in society. And that is why I’m hated even by people who claim we’re on the same side.

Things changed for me on July 4, when a gunman climbed onto a roof in the affluent Chicago suburb of Highland Park and opened fire, killing seven people and wounding dozens of others. There was wall-to-wall coverage of the shooting for days by both local and national media.

He decided to stay because Rooftop Negroes? If the author has some weird Boondock Saints fetish then… then, Chicago is a good choice and everybody needs a hobby. <popcorn>

But I wouldn’t risk vigilantism when the best-case result is a better world for Commissioner Judeo-Christian.

This was truly a sad event…

No.

…that devastated an entire community.

No.

But this is not what made me change my mind. What did was the fact that on the same weekend, there were 10 other people killed and 62 people wounded by gunfire in Chicago . . . and no one seemed to care.

Good show, conservatives! While you failed to conserve the womens’ restroom, you DID conserve the bleeding-heart liberal!

I decided to do some research…[blah blah crime stats]… and again, no one seems to care.

Should we? Is there anything we ordinary Joes can do about Chicongo that doesn’t involve a revolt and/or a Batman costume? Besides leaving?

[Johnny can’t read]… poverty is also a problem… food-insecure people…

I see you, Social Justice Warrior skinsuiting as a conservative.

So, I’ve decided to stay and try to make a difference…

…by helping the muggers escape poverty…

…and I encourage my fellow conservatives to do the same. No city can survive if its richest, most highly educated population flees. A city cannot survive if the answer to its problems is to ignore them and to let those who cannot leave fend for themselves.

Whatchu talkin’ about, Nellis? Chicago works great. It’s a role model of Socialist success being carefully imitated across the globe… its inhabitants dehumanized, indoctrinated and turned against each other for the profit and amusement of megalomaniacs who might secretly be Reptiloid hybrids.

Just because it’s not YOUR definition of success, doesn’t imply that it cannot be THEIR definition of success.

I encourage my fellow conservatives to get involved: run for a school board seat, volunteer for political candidates who want to fix our city, volunteer with organizations that work to address the city’s problems, become a tutor for an “at risk” child. Do something.

I can’t do any of that. The elections are rigged, the politicians evil, the charities Converged and the reason Blacks underperform in school is they’re mentally inferior to white people. What I can do, is run away before that last comment catches up to me. Ah, the simple joys of living in a free country with free speech!

It’s not enough for the good men to show up. The bad men must open the door to let us in. Which they surely will because the nice men did it for the bad men. You see the problem. Unless you’re nice.

We can’t all run to Florida. Besides, if enough of us stay and fight for change, Chicago just may elect its first Republican mayor since 1927.

Not that Red States are safe destinations. They’re only one election away from swinging hard left… Virginia turned out to be only one holiday weekend away from swinging hard left… Brazil isn’t America but it just went Marxist in one election and Bolsonaro is respecting his own defeat to the point of releasing the army upon his own supporters… and because Cuckservatives cannot accept that democracy doesn’t work, they’ll keep playing Marquess de Queensbury boxing against Bolsheviks wielding shivs.

What DOES work? Having allies that one can trust. For them, I would stay.

Demobilizing and tracking a population as large and sparse as the United States is hard. Private vehicles have been under attack for many years… largely unsuccessfully, and due in no small part to government’s complete failure to offer public-transport alternatives.

That failure is intentional. Government does not want to offer public-transport alternatives to private autos. It wants us de-mobilized, not other-mobilized.

Which brings us to the new industry of ridesharing. This has already undergone a forced consolidation thanks to California outlawing independent employment. (Biden has floated trial balloons on behalf of his handlers for a national outlawing of independent employment.) But that is not sufficient, to judge from the FBI frightening people (women) that they don’t know who is ridesharing with her children.

Criminals are using rideshare services to abduct children, FBI warns

By Candace Hathaway, 31 October 2022

The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a public service announcement last week warning that criminals are using rideshare vehicles to abduct children.

I’m skeptical already because rideshare adds a witness to the criminal act. Jorge might not speak English but he’s not stupid enough to be an accomplice to child kidnapping. Or do they mean, the rideshare OPERATORS are abducting children during their regular employment? Are unescorted six-year-olds getting into panel vans prepaid with Mommy’s boyfriend’s credit card or something?

Maybe the FBI is trying to divert suspicion from unmarked panel vans parked on residential streets. I can only guess how many mothers have called the cops on Feebs manning a stakeout. Or supplying their informants with young boys.

“Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, law enforcement received several reports of rideshare services being used to facilitate child abduction,” the agency said.

According to the warning, “criminal actors” are using rideshare services because there is a “lower likelihood of detection and ease of facilitation.”

Shameless lies like this are why I take cheap shots about FBI agents using panel vans to traffic kids for their informants’ pleasure. Is there a reason they wouldn’t, since they routinely and publicly lie to us? 

The law enforcement agency added that criminals believe ridesharing vehicles allow them more privacy than public transportation. Additionally, the services are easy to book and more direct than public transportation.

“While other modes of transportation were used during the pandemic, the privacy of rideshare services allowed criminal actors to obfuscate potential witness identification and afforded them direct transportation,” the FBI stated. “Further, criminal actors benefit from past and current pandemic guidance, such as mask wearing and social distancing in rideshare vehicles, as it provides additional security.”

1. Cry me a river that anti-socializing laws might have resulted in reduced socialization.
2. Rideshare operators aren’t blind. Notice they can stay on the road while driving. I trust them to see the drugged and handcuffed infant that the tweaker shoves under the seat.
3. I wondered how long it would take for police to complain about face diapers. You can’t put entire cities under face-recognition CCTV while ordering people to mask up. The clock stops at two years, four months.
4. Money trail erases anonymity. Rideshare operators don’t take cash because having cash makes them targets for mugging.

According to the FBI, the driver and passenger security protocols for ridesharing services are not as strict as traditional forms of transportation. Therefore, criminals believe they are less likely to get caught.

“The FBI identified a trend of criminal actors using rideshare vehicles to abduct minor victims,” the public announcement noted.

Translation: the FBI wants every rideshare to be logged into a national database so they can track the movements of you err, bad guys like J6 protesters err, child kidnappers.

Let me give a shout-out to VISA corporation for resisting the pressure, thus far, to monitor the behavior of its customers. I haven’t blogged on it yet but they’ve been through two court cases trying to force VISA to not allow men to consume pornography. Which can only happen if VISA monitors its customers’ economic activity.

The reason FBI is complaining about “anonymous” rideshares, is because companies such as VISA still refuse to spy on their customers on the FBI’s behalf.

The FBI cited an incident in April involving a 16-year-old boy who requested a rideshare service from Portland, Oregon, to Rockport, Texas. At one point during the ride, the driver of the vehicle offered the child a drink.

The boy later woke up inside a home approximately 20 miles away from his requested destination. He walked to a neighbor’s house to call authorities, and the driver was later arrested.

Wrong. It was Portland, Texas, to Rockport, Texas. Does Uber even contract for three-thousand-mile, one-way trips?

11 April 2022

There was no way that guy was going to get away with it, not after the ride was arranged via Uber and paid for electronically.

Oh, wait. Maybe he WILL get away with it:

He has been charged with indecency with a child, Rivera said. He remains in the San Patricio County Jail on a $75,000 bond.

The charge should have been kidnapping. This is open-and-shut kidnapping. Instead, Morin was charged with a misdemeanor?

Meanwhile, why did that kid take a drink from a stranger?

End segue

I admit it’s true that there are kidnapping and sex crimes associated with ridesharing. However, the people who think they can get away with it are typically foreigners with connections to organized crime. This example IS from Portland, Oregon:

A suburban Portland rideshare driver has been accused of raping and kidnapping a passenger.

KOIN-TV reports the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Omar Al Naser was arrested Tuesday at his Beaverton home on four charges related to an alleged incident on Oct. 23.

There is a simple and topic-relevant reason why sex crime, like all crime, is in dramatic rise. When it gets high enough, the people will demand martial law from the very government that filled our streets with these degenerates in the first place.

The victim said they were at a family member’s house and called Lyft for a ride, sheriff’s officials said. Al Naser arrived, officials said, but he took the passenger to his house.

The sheriff’s office said the driver is being held on rape, kidnapping and other charges. It wasn’t immediately known if he has a lawyer to speak for him.

The investigation continues and deputies believe there could be additional victims.

The Sheriff’s Office said Al Naser drove for Lyft between August and November 2021 and urged other victims to come forward.

Again, this is a really hard crime to conceal for any length of time. “My kid went missing. The last activity on his bank card was a rideshare by Omar al Mohammed bin Laden.”

The FBI cited another rideshare incident in February involving a father and his 7-year-old son in Mexico City.

“We need more police powers in USA because Mexico is dangerous.”

During the ride, the father asked the driver to pull over at a flower stand. When the father exited the vehicle, the driver drove off with the child still inside.

The boy was able to call his mother and share his location. The parents chased after the vehicle and recovered their child. They kept the driver from escaping, and authorities arrested him.

A crime so easy to solve, the parents did it in a foreign country. A harrowing story, to be sure, but like most countries, Mexican law enforcement reserves special treatment for crimes against tourists. No cartel is going to bust out this perp.

During another incident in February 2021, a man ordered a rideshare vehicle to transport a child from her California home. The adult male met the minor on social media and groomed her to send sexual content. He persuaded her to sneak out of her home and get into a rideshare vehicle with him.

He ordered the rideshare vehicle to bring them to the airport, where they boarded a plane to Washington, D.C. The man forced the minor to wear a disguise and pretend she was mute to avoid detection.

Avoid detection… through airport security?

“Photo ID for the girl?”

“She’s mute.”

“Oh, okay. Does she have any metal in her pockets or under the wig?”

This wasn’t kidnapping. She went voluntarily.

Authorities recovered the girl and charged the man with child abduction, soliciting child sexual abuse materials, and meeting a minor for sex.

How was any of that the rideshare operator’s fault? The FBI is talking like the man had a knife pressed against her kidney during all of this. No.

And if you’re wondering why driver didn’t ask about the girl getting in separately from the man: welcome to the United States of Divorce, where joint custody of children is a norm.

The FBI stated that the public service announcement was created to increase awareness of rideshare services being used to target minors for child abduction. The agency noted that the “high impact” crimes are rare.

Terrorism, in other words. They’re frightening people, aka “increasing awareness”, that small children are climbing into rideshares and disappearing. ‘Although the really serious stuff is rare’.

And what should people in this state of fear, oops, “increased awareness” do? They should vote for more safety.

Supporting this call for a state of fear, oops, “increased awareness”, they cited one case of a swift arrest, which is not even being prosecuted as a kidnapping, one case in a foreign nation and one case that was a runaway not a kidnapping.

The FBI is trying to scare you into supporting more government surveillance. Happy Halloween a day late.

The worst that you really need to fear about rideshare, is that the driver hails from a country that drives on the wrong side of the road.
