As Benjamin Franklin said, "Either we all stand together or we'll all hang separately." "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance. And a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both." "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." "I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do
the things I wanted." "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." "When the people fear the government, we have tyranny. When the government fears the people, we have freedom." In loco parentis (Latin) In the place of a parent; acting as a parent with respect to the care and supervision of a child; acting with the power to discipline a child as a parent can. "People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction." "There's one born every minute." |

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITHOUT FREEDOM?! A note by the webmaster 
This site is more than just hype for a great book (Buy the book, dammit! Buy one for all your friends and family for birthdays and Xmas gifts! Donate copies to all your public and school libraries! Send them as "political donations" to your politicians! Stand on a streetcorner with a bullhorn and read passages from this book! Rent billboards to advertise this great book!). America, we have a problem. As you know, we do not have our Autobahn, yet. To make American Autobahn a reality, we must be proactive. This means more than mere "voting" (AKA gambling by "slot machine" - "the House always wins") or wishful daydreaming, since never has any American been allowed to vote for anything to do with speed limits or highway safety. The following information is for drivers and citizens who demand Freedom and refuse slavery—and are willing to do whatever it takes to prevent a full-blown Police State—before it's too late! This is not only an American challenge. Even the German Autobahn faces extinction as "violating" the oxymoronic "Free Trade" laws of the European Union, just as Germany's Deutchmark was replaced by the "Eurodollar" on January 1, 2002. Those at the top of the Pyramid Scheme who dream of absolute power are shooting for what President George Bush Sr—former "United Nations" (UN) ambassador, former ambassador to China, former chairman of the Republican Party during Watergate, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (US secret police)—officially called a "New World Order" in his State of the Union Address on January 29, 1991 (plus 17 other occasions). Adolph "Hitler" Shicklegruber (of Jewish Rothchild dynasty) first coined the term NWO in his NAZI Germany (NWO does not discriminate when it comes to theft and genocide). In other words, a "New World Order" (AKA "UN") is an unelected, unaccountable, world-wide Police-State dictatorship on the level of Hitler, Stalin and Mao, with a handful of multi-national Monopoly Men pulling the strings—and pulling US manufacturing plants out of USA to boost their profits, kill our economy, trade our British-bank "Federal" Reserve Notes for devalued "Amerinotes" (the US Treasury has been out of the money business for 90 years - and the United States has been bankrupt since 1933 when it gave all its gold in Fort Knox to the "Fed" along with a million-dollar indebtedness for each citizen) and wage war on the middle class (one way or another), all for the profit of their global plantation ($1-Billion-per-day is hemoraged by "our" US government to foreign bankers as INTEREST on the national debt). The so-called North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) merely creates a one-way "sucking sound" (as Ross Perot described it), otherwise known as NASTA - the North American Slave Trade Agreement, where the only grown in American manufacturing is in prison slave labor (and prevents Mexicans from needing driver licenses, citizenship, or visas). Thanks to the World Trade Organization (WTO met in New York City in January 2002), Communist China already has more authority over US "Free Trade" than the US Congress has (and sells us 83% of our "American" flags, manufactures Boeing airliners and made Walmart the largest multi-national corporation in the world). Ford Motor Company lost $5.5-Billion in 2001—so I guess they had better close all their factories in USA and move to China or Mexico, where governments have no environmental laws and no pesky minimum wage (and in China, no "voting" rights). A sad state of the union, unless your dream is to work in China or Mexico and live in a cardboard shack. Even US cops and soldiers are now finding out that their beloved pensions were stolen by their "superiors" and stashed in offshore bank accounts. (NYPD's pension fund lost half a billion dollars by the bankrupting and looting of ENRON, Florida Inc. employees lost 350-million in pension funds, Pentagon vets lost $3-Trillion in past 3 years thanks to ENRON's Mexican Jumping Bank Accounts and 6,000 offshore "shell" accounts—while the US president, vice president, half of US Congress and hundreds of state legislators were on their payrole - and yes, U.S. Inc. is just as bankrupt as Enron.)
NATO and UN soldiers are already "helping" our loving Pentagon prepare to shoot down US airliners and set up road blocks in USA, and even practice disarming US cops during traffic stops while US cops kill US soldiers during traffic stops. Try talking your way out of a speeding ticket with a "traffic cop" who can't even speak English, who doesn't want to learn English and who is aiming a machine gun. In USA today, COPS kill 1,000 Americans every year, including 1/3 innocent bystanders (according to AAA), and they are killing increasing numbers of off-duty or undercover cops. Just wait until "Homeland Defense" gets geared up 110%.... And, the next generation of electric Robocars will have mandatory 24/7 GPS tracking ("to control ze terrorism") and automated kill switches to control ze "speeders"—and everyone else that Orwell's Big Bully says owes him for our own "protection". Every generation gets to fight this battle and now it's our turn, but never has this greed been so close to reality. If the "Globalists" win, speeding tickets will be the least of our worries. Only Americans can stop them now—REAL Americans, not Fifth-Column traitors. Lest you presume I exaggerate, I dare you to read this page and think about what these experts confess. Remember that The Law doesn't call it "Rape" unless you scream "Rape!" and defend yourself to the death (700,000 American men are raped while in police custody every year—the same police who write traffic tickets), and as our governments are fond of ruling, "Ignorance of The Law is no excuse." I wish this were a joke. Welcome to reality. Print out this page or site and give it to every person you meet (for educational and research purposes—all other rights reserved). Spectating at Fantasy Survivor Island won't get the job done. Do your homework and learn your civil rights, then practice what you preach. Go watch Traffic Court or Real Court (it's FREE!) instead of paying $100 to get drunk and see a few spoiled brats get rich playing with each other. Ignore the Idiot Box and the Hollywood squares. Learn how to stand up for yourself in Traffic Court, even in Parking Court, because if you can't handle that pressure, what the heck are you going to do if you really need to fight for your rights someday? Give away copies of this news info per 17 USC §107. Email everyone you know about this website, since search engines routinely censor ("filter") many sites that read you your rights.

Make sure every politician in your chain of command knows you by name because you're in their faces with email, letters, faxes, phone calls or office visits. Speak at City Council or State Legislative sessions to drum up public support, especially when they are televised. Do radio interviews. Start up a Community Access TV News show with topics like American Autobahn. (Then guard your back from the Thought Police.) Don't just dream it—Live it!

NWO and its "United Nations" armies have declared WAR on the United States - YET AGAIN. National parks are given to UN as partial payment on LITERALLY BANKRUPT US government's $1.5-Billion per day INTEREST PAYMENT on the bankruptcy debt. But unlike ENRON that bought over half of US Congress and ALL who work at White House, our treasonous politicians will NEVER allow United States Inc to wipe the slate clean and start over by "discharging" this debt ON ALL AMERICANS TODAY that's leftover from 1920s Depression, much less mobilize Pentagon armed forces to attack the NWO's international bankers working at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE to destroy USA. Every paper "Dollar Bill" is nothing but another Bank Loan from NWO's International Federal Reserve Bank. IRS is nothing but a Puerto Rican Corporation tasked as a Collection Agency using illegal ATF cops to Extort unconstitutional taxes from brainwahsed Americans as ALL US government Inc's LOOT Secret Profits from overflowing Wall Street investments. Foreign UN military forces are now working hand in hand beside police in USA or literally attacking and disarming US traffic cops as power of US military is wasted overseas or disarmed along USA borders. Law enforcement catalogs for US police offer official uniforms for United Nations infantry. UN controls USA's government school curiculums and censors ALL private schools and churches that claim 501C "tax free" status. NWO now owns ALL major "News" corporations that are no longer American but are Multinational with zero allegiance to USA. THE BRITISH BANKERS ARE COMING!

"Since Sept. 11, the kinds of words that used to be coupled in the same sentence with 'Third Reich,' 'Gulag' and 'Pinochet' have actually creeped into the mouths of mainstream talking heads. Some in Congress are beginning to wake up and smell the coffee, and what's in the air isn't too fresh. They see a growing police state being implemented. While people may fear a downward spiral towards brown-shirts and book burnings, the truth is that an American police state may show up in a Brooks Brothers suit with an impressive law degree. What really galls is how the Bush administration has treated the American people like children. Anybody feeling the water temperature rising? Water or coffee may not be the right comparison. Maybe it's smoke. Maybe it's the smoke of the Reichstag burning."

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

"The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated. If we cannot eliminate the causes and prevent the repetition of these barbaric events, it is not an irresponsible prophecy to say that this twentieth century may yet succeed in bringing the doom of civilization."

"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner's report that will lead to our demise.
It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only. The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in Washington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is bankrupt. Our children will inherit this unpayable debt, and the tyranny to enforce paying it. America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most corrupt order! Wake up America! Take back your Country."

"This programme having been fully arranged and systematized, they put their sword into the hands of the chief murderer of the war [alcoholic President-General Ulysses Grant who led the slaughter of 500,000 Americans], and charge him to carry their scheme into effect. And now he, speaking as their organ, says: "Let us have peace." The meaning of this is: Submit quietly to all the robbery and slavery we have arranged for you, and you can have "peace." But in case you resist, the same lenders of blood-money, who furnished the means to subdue the South, will furnish the means again to subdue you. These are the terms on which alone this government, or, with few exceptions, any other, ever gives "peace" to its people. The whole affair, on the part of those who furnished the money, has been, and now is, a deliberate scheme of robbery and murder. If their object had really been to abolish slavery, or maintain liberty or justice generally, they had only to say: All, whether white or black, who want the protection of this government, shall have it; and all who do not want it, will be left in peace, so long as they leave us in peace. Had they said this, slavery would necessarily have been abolished at once; the war would have been saved; and a thousand times nobler union than we have ever had would have been the result. It would have been a voluntary union of free men; such a union as will one day exist among all men, the world over, IF the several nations, so called, shall ever get rid of the usurpers, robbers, and murderers, called governments, that now plunder, enslave, and destroy them. Still another of the frauds of these men is, that they are now establishing, and that the war was designed to establish, "a government of consent." The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this-that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot. This idea was the dominant one on which the war was carried on; and it is the dominant one, now that we have got what is called peace. The lesson taught by all these facts is this: As long as mankind continue to pay "national debts," so-called-that is, so long as they are such dupes and cowards as to pay for being cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered-so long there will be enough to lend the money for those purposes; and with that money a plenty of tools, called soldiers, can be hired to keep them in subjection. But when they refuse any longer to pay for being thus cheated, plundered, enslaved, and murdered, they will cease to have cheats, and usurpers, and robbers, and murderers and blood-money loan-mongers for masters."
–Lysander Spooner, Esquire, "No Treason" (1879)
"In the Ancient world, order meant empire. Those within the empire had order, culture and civilisation. Outside it lay barbarians, chaos and disorder. We have two new types of state. First, there are pre-modern states - often former colonies. The postmodern system in which we Europeans live does not rely on balance; nor does it emphasise sovereignty or the separation of domestic and foreign affairs. The postmodern world has to start to get used to double standards. Among ourselves, we operate on the basis of laws and open cooperative security. But, when dealing with old-fashioned states outside the postmodern continent of Europe, we need to revert to the rougher methods of an earlier era - force, pre-emptive attack, deception, whatever is necessary to deal with those who still live in the nineteenth century world of every state for itself. Among ourselves, we keep the law but when we are operating in the jungle, we must also use the laws of the jungle. What is needed is a new kind of imperialism, one compatible with human rights and cosmopolitan values: an imperialism which aims to bring order and organisation. We already have voluntary imperialism of the global economy through institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank. The international community provides not just soldiers but police, judges, prison officers, bankers and others, as well as monitoring and organising elections. Like Rome, this commonwealth would provide its citizens with some of its laws, some coins and the occasional road."
—Robert Cooper, foreign affairs adviser to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, London Guardian, "Why we still need empires," 7 April 2002 ('Reordering the World: the long-term implications of September 11', published by The Foreign Policy Centre - www.fpc.org.uk)
CAFR's prove Americans should (1) never pay taxes again, (2) police should never be funded by traffic tickets and illegal quotas, (3) highways are already funded by fuel tax, and that, (4) city, county, state and federal corporations (so-called "governments") should pay each American over $10,000 annual dividend from the interest, plus back payments and interest! Paying tax is literally paying a bankruptcy creditor for DEBTS of an EMPLOYER that a person is "employed" by under "contract" ("driver license" originally only applied to commercial truck drivers). DEFINITION OF INSANITY - Anyone who volunteers to (1) pay the bankruptcy debt for an employer, (2) waivers his or her paycheck forever, (3) donates all corporate stock back to the corporation, and (4) turns down all pension paychecks.

Motorsports Hall of Famer Craig Breedlove and crew will attempt to regain the World Land Speed Record for the United States. The current record is British held at 763 mph. The sleek Spirit of America™ car is powered by a J-79 turbo-jet engine--the same engine used in the famous F-4 Phantom, and puts out an impressive 24,000 pounds of thrust. This gives the 9,000 pound car a thrust to weight ratio better than most modern fighter planes.

The SOA Merchandise Store will have our new "850 MPH Speed Limit" Sign! Enter our new montly drawing to win a Spirit of America Tshirt. Once a month we will draw a name from our list and choose a winner. Winners will be announced here on the home page! In 1959, he paid $500 for a military surplus J-47 engine and began building his first "Spirit of America". Breedlove clocked a record run of 407 mph in this car at Bonneville in 1963 to return the world land speed record to America after more than three decades. The record of 600.601 in 1965 made Breedlove the first man to break the 400, 500 and 600 mph barriers on land. The standard has been in British hands since October 1983, when Richard Noble streaked across the Black Rock Desert 100 miles north of Reno at 633.47 mph (Bonneville Dry Lake is dead due to salt mining). Noble handed over the keys last year to Green, his protege from the Royal Air Force. Britain's Andy Green has held the current record of 763 since October of 1997. Breedlove plans to reclaim the record soon with a run of 800 miles per hour that would far exceed the minimum 771 mph run needed to break Green's existing mark. For Breedlove, the sensation of such speed is incredible. What's the acceleration like? "Breathing is difficult, as my body is forced into the seat. When the chute hits, my equilibrium is momentarily altered giving the sensation of driving straight down a wall. I'm sitting six inches off of the ground, going faster than a bullet," said Breedlove. "It is quite a rush." Montana Autobahn Gets a New Speed Limit for FreemenDeath and destruction are the predictable result.

NAFTA CANAMEX Highways: Senate Joint Resolution No. 13 FILE NUMBER 126Whereas, The point at which U.S. Route 93 crosses the Hoover Dam on the border of the states of Nevada and Arizona is the major commercial corridor between Nevada and Arizona, the major commercial corridor between the states of Arizona and Utah and is on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) "CANAMEX" route between Mexico and Canada; and Whereas, Presently, this portion of the highway is one of the most congested sections of two-lane highway in the country with continual traffic each day of approximately 1,500 trucks and buses and 12,427 cars, and drivers often cross the double yellow line into oncoming traffic in an attempt to negotiate the serpentine curves; and Whereas, Other alternative commercial routes between Arizona and the states to the north are through California, an additional distance of more than 250 miles and the other northbound highways are also more unsuitable for this amount of traffic than the present U.S. Route 93; and Whereas, The traffic congestion caused by the inadequacy of the highway across Hoover Dam imposes serious economic burdens on the states of Nevada, Arizona and Utah and interferes with commerce on the vital "CANAMEX" corridor; and Whereas, The traffic on the existing highway has increased many times since it was opened 60 years ago and is expected to increase by 50 percent in the next 10 years; and Whereas, U.S. Route 93 was designated a NAFTA corridor and identified as a "high priority corridor" in the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to the Vice President of the United States as the presiding officer of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and each member of the Nevada Congressional Delegation; and be it further Resolved, That this resolution becomes effective upon passage and approval. |
Go Street Racers"All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself." "Speed is not dangerous, nor does it cause accidents. The single factor consistent with every road accident isn't speed but bad driving and riding. People don't concentrate or simply don't think. They fail to see an oncoming hazard in time and they crash. More accidents happen below the speed limit than above it. The anti-fun party is in power and loving it. If they get their way, we'll be back to blokes walking in front of us with red flags. I'm all for reducing accidents, that's my job, but most occur in towns where 30mph limits are enforced. Making motorways slower serves no other purpose than to turn otherwise decent people into criminals. They'll be wanting sharp knives banned in the kitchen next, just to be safe."

Scary Police State propaganda runs Fast and Furious into a Brave New World OrderCNN NEWS - The original idea for "The Fast and the Furious" came from an article written by Ken Li for "Vibe" magazine. Under cover of darkness a subculture of people, mostly ethnic young men and women, get together to race customized, high-performance subcompact cars along empty streets in Los Angeles and the outlying desert. The prize: thousands of dollars per race. Vin Diesel plays Dominic Toretto, best known for "Saving Private Ryan". "Brian Spindler," aka Brian O'Conner, an undercover cop, is played by Paul Walker ("Skulls," 1999). Director Rob Cohen also helmed "Skulls." The Fast and the Furious opened Friday, June 22, 2001, has focused gobs of attention on sportcompact cars--a relatively new breed of customized automobile that has been called the "hot rod of the new millennium." "While the races in the movie are exciting to watch on-screen," said Len Monserrat, who drives the BFGoodrich Tires/Dynamic Turbo Mitsubishi Eclipse at NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) race tracks, "they send the wrong message to novice and amateur/hobby racers. Racing is great--on the race track. On the street, it's not only illegal, it's incredibly dangerous. "I belong to RASR, which stands for Racers Against Street Racing," he said. "We support and encourage the passion for vehicles and their performance, but we also want to make sure that people know that street racing is dangerous--and better alternatives do exist." President Charles R. Blum of SEMA concurs: "We have a great industry that provides people with exciting products to make their driving experience more fun and more rewarding. This industry also has a myriad of opportunities to show off custom or modified cars and trucks--at car shows like Hot Import Nights, at races sponsored by groups like the National Import Racing Association and the Import Drag Racing Circuit, and at sound-offs, too. We encourage young people to find out more about events and also car clubs in their area."

Rated PG - Propaganda for the Gullible. Detroit Heavy Metal Rap - Police Officers Charged in Street Race DeathDETROIT, FEB 6, 2002 - Four Lincoln Park police officers were charged Wednesday in connection with an illegal and deadly drag race. It has been a long time since the accident claimed the life of a young mother of two and injured two other people. They stood in front of a judge charged Tuesday with drag racing because of their participation and with neglect of duty and willful failure to uphold and enforce the law. The issue is whether or not Detroit even has jurisdiction. These officers have said they sat inside the Lincoln Park city limits watching what was going on. They are taking the position that Detroit has no authority to charge them, because they could not have committed a crime in Lincoln Park when the crime was actually, they say, in Detroit. John Goldbaugh, who is representing the officers in the $25 million wrongful death suit filed by the survivors of the woman who was killed, and their criminal attorney, representing the officers in the charges, are angry that they are even being charged because he says there is really nothing to this and it isn't fair. One of the prosecutors' key witnesses provided videotape evidence that was shown to Channel 7 and ultimately sold to another TV station that aired it. The tape shows the race and the two police cars with officers doing nothing but blaring rap music to entertain the crowd. They are also being charged with drag racing on the premise that they aided and abetted the race. More serious charges of second-degree murder are being lodged against Erin Reynolds. Testimony puts him behind the wheel of the Mustang drag racer that actually struck and killed one young mother and injured two men, all said to be innocent bystanders not involved with the race. "If we get any more organizers, we're going to charge them with second-degree murder. If you participate in a drag race in any way and injuries result, you are are just as legally responsible as the driver who actually struck the bystanders." DETROIT NEWS, MAY 7, 2000 - Board to crack down on drag races. Commission considers ordinance allowing seizure, impoundment of vehicles and fines. "This isn't about kids on the street racing their cars. This is very serious business," said Ben Washburn, attorney for the Wayne County Commission. "These cars aren't something people want to lose. These cars are worth as much as $100,000." The county commission had a public hearing last week on the proposed ordinance, which is similar to laws used to target illegal drug sales and prostitution. "How are we going to pay for this expense?" she asked. "Some people just may not want to get their cars back." Smith said the vehicles used in races are very expensive, trucked on trailers from race site to race site. He said he has heard that some car owners pay $9,000 for a carburetor. "People will want the cars back," he said. DETROIT NEWS, JULY 20, 2000 - Drag racing has long been a problem in Detroit. Often, hundreds of people congregate in secluded areas of the city to watch the races during the summer. Aside from the dangers involved, drag racing presents a nuisance to residents, and police have successfully pushed for tougher laws against the sport. A 24-year-old Detroit man died Tuesday from injuries sustained during a drag race. A second racer, aged 20, was rushed to Detroit Receiving Hospital, where he was treated for a concussion. The two cars involved in the accident - a 1984 Oldsmobile and a 1983 Pontiac [worth slightly less than $100,000] - were racing about 11 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Lynch and French on the city's east side when both cars crashed into a dirt hill near a Detroit City Airport fence. When police officers arrived at the scene, they found the Oldsmobile sitting upside down on top of the hill. Skid marks on the street leading up to the hill indicated that both cars tried unsuccessfully to stop before they hit the mound, police said. [News reporters failed to report whether the DOA was (1) wearing a seatbelt or not, (2) wearing a helmet or not, (3) equipped with a roll-over bar or not, (4) graduated from a performance driving and skid-control school, (5) an experienced and licensed racer. Nor did the propaganda recommend these inexpensive safety improvements.] Nuclear engineering genius dies in street raceIDAHO - Paul Brown, 43, died early Sunday morning when he lost control of the car he was illegally racing on a southeast Ada County road. When he lost control, he was leading the race and likely driving faster than 100 mph, said his wife, Jackie Brown, who was one of about 40 spectators. The 1972 Mazda RX2 flew off the side of the road and rolled several times. Paul Brown died at the scene, and the accident remains under investigation. The driver of the other vehicle, a 1970s Chevrolet Nova, is a close friend of the Browns, said Jackie Brown. Her husband died doing what he loved, she said. "He was well-rounded and full of energy," Jackie Brown said. He bought his first car at 13 and built a motor for it. Last August, Brown co-founded Nuclear Solutions Inc. Brown had discovered a way — at least on paper — to take nuclear waste and make it non-radioactive. Smokey and Bandit Cross Macon County LineDEALS GAP.COM - I have a story to tell and feel like this is a good place to get advice and hopfully get some positive feedback from another bike lover... my name's [J. Doe] and i am the proud owner of a 00 tricked out r-1. yesterday morning i witnessed two state patrol officers with a XXXX county sheriff pull past posted signs at my residence of 14 acres. they parked and virtually stole the tag off my r-1 (video survaillence shows trooper parker remove tag). my wife left to the store in her car and was stopped, issued ticket for "too dark of tint" and questioned as to my whereabouts. approx an hour later the trooper returned, kicked in my front door and searched my residence, yet bike and myself was gone... i contacted trooper XXXXXX via cell phone, gave me his number, friendly and courteous. i was informed that he had been out-run 5 times in two different counties within two weeks, that he was issuing citations to me for these offences... 22 citations to be exact. however, the tag he stole had been altered with black electrical tape (X was turned into an X, X into X and X into X) so the actual reality was that tag was never ran... i turned myself in and was nicknamed "the motorcycle bandit", yet i am not stating guilt nor am i gonna lie and deny guilt to another bike lover. i'll simply say my body was never captured doing crimes i am accussed of. i am a truck driver by trade and several of these tickets ruin my driving career, like "speeding in excees of 140" (all SP radar reads is 140), 5 counts "fleeing and ATTEMPTING TO ELUDE??????", STOP SIGNS, LANE CHANGES, JUMPING COUNTIES, ETC. MY ATTORNEY ACTUALLY LAUGHED AND STATED THEY don't have any chance in hell convicting a man they never caught. i turned myself in to the XXXX county jail and bonded out last night. it cost me so far $795 cash... i didn't know that if you run from a cop in, say, blue county, if you cross into red county it's another "eluding" charge. [Note that no one was injured or killed and no crashes were alleged to have occurred. If police allege "eluding arrest", a felony, then they have "probable cause" to trespass and enter a residence by force - IF THEY HAVE POSITIVE ID AND HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. Otherwise the police may have exposed themselves to lawsuits both officially and individually.] Police Massacres in Pursuit of Policy
The summary report of Illinois State University, Department of Criminal Justice Sciences, sponsored by the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation for Traffic Safety. Top-secret insiders' investigation of summary executions by police officers of motorists accused of routine traffic offenses. Totals include 50,000 annual "high-speed" chases with 20,000 annual injuries. Permanant disabilities were not counted. American police kills hundreds of motorists every year (including deaths of off-duty police officers), with thirty-percent of deaths occurring to innocent bystanders and two-percent to police officers. From the Report: "Only 14% of the pursuits reported were initiated for felony crimes. It is clear from available appellate decisions that officers must abide by existing state vehicle code requirements for tho operation of emergency vehicles, and police must avoid beinq negligent in the performance of their duties. Pursuit driving is considered a deadly force issue by many writers, and the courts have, construed the use of road blocks as a deadly force issue. Pursuit training does not seem to exist in any substantial form at this time in Illinois. Supervisors knew that their officers engaged in unauthorized pursuits and corresponding deception concerning their behavior -- often in violation of department policy. At the same time, officers under reported their pursuits. Most departments seem to equate to Emergency Vehicle Operations Course training (EVOC) with pursuit training. The lack of systematic pursuit training, including judgmental and decision-making elements, is a surprising and unfortunate omission."

SUPERBIKE, MARCH 2000 - Editors: "Mr XXX is you. Hey, he's me. He's all of us. He's a 30-something bloke with a decent job, a mortgage and a bike. The Fireblade is paid for, it's insured, taxed and he's never been in trouble with the law. But this man just served 2 months in prison alongside drug dealers and murderers. His crime? 'Speeding'. If you think it could never happen to you, think again...." Mr XXX: "We were hacking down a stretch of dual carriageway. It was a 70 limit. I guess we were doing about a ton, but we weren't going mad. The coppers were in an unmarked car. One of them lept out and he was well pissed off. He even had his baton out. - I thought he was going to twat me one. He yelled at me to get my lid off, but I said no way, not until he put the baton away. After that I was bundled into the back of the car, cautioned and shown the video. It showed them behind another car doing 110mph [illegally and without emergency lights or siren] for a few minutes before I came past. Why they hadn't already pulled him I don't know. As soon as I went by they gave up on the car immediately. The cops had followed me for a couple of miles [40 seconds] but hadn't gotten a precise speed on me - they were at 150mph flat-out but I was still pulling away a bit. It was another 6 months before the summons finally turned up - prosecuted for [alleged] 'dangerous driving'. I got myself a solicitor and pled 'not guilty'. I was 'speeding' but my riding wasn't dangerous. Even the copper who nicked me said it was smooth. Over the next 5 months I was in court 7 times. My case finally came up at a Crown court with a jury. Because of this I had to fork over for a barrister ('trial lawyer'). By the time I went to prison I had spent 3 grand ($4,500) on legal bills. When I was nicked I had stopped immediately and been polite to the cops. I had a solicitor with me in court, wore my best suit and was humble and respectful the whole time. I was given 5 months in prison, banned from driving for 3 years and was fined £400. And I got a criminal record as a bonus. I was loaded in a van and taken straight from court to prison. A lot of the blokes there were lifers, in for stuff like murder, armed robbery, drug and sex offenses. Hard drugs like crack and heroin were readily availible. In the first 2 weeks, 15 blokes got cut with knives and another 12 got 'jugged' - covered in boiling water mixed with sugar so it stickes to the skin ['like napalm sticks to kids']. The prison officers didn't care what I was in for and treated me like shit. As far as they were concerned I was scum. I spent 23 hours a day in my cell and read a lot of books. Did you know it costs [taxpayers] a grand a week ($1,500) to keep someone inside? I was let out early but have to wear a [radio-controlled] security tag until the full term. It's locked on my ankle and my house is full of sensors. The cops know where I am all the time. I have to come home by 7pm and can't leave again until 7am. When I'm at home I can't go outside.My mum still thinks I must be lying to her that my only crime was speeding. She reckons I must have crashed and killed someone to get the punishment I have. I'm disgusted with our legal system and have lost any faith I had in cops or courts.I read in the paper today that about a lad in a car who knocked a girl off her motorbike. She lost part of her leg as a result and he was fined £30 ($45) and no points. It's fucked up. What else can you call it?" Editors: "The moronic element in our judicial system now puts speeding right up there with rape, murder, and bestiality. And what the hell can we do about it? Well, quite a lot actually, and you'll be pleased to know that none of it involves riding around like a nonce. All we need to do is employ a little cunning [and electromagnatism] when out for a thrash and only ride like twats when odds are that no-one's watching." [Note that in just the city of London, cops crash their police cars 4,000 times every year. And note that contrary to these excellent editors, there are A LOT more things a driver can do to fight tyranny in a so-called "democratic republic" - or in a "parlimentary monarchy". Oftentimes the best defense is a good offense, as detailed on this webpage. And even a full-court-press defense costs at least $10,000, plus appeals. That's why gangsters and cops under arrest only hire the most expensive lawyers.] NHTSA says 190MPH sportbike riders are the safest ridersCNN News, May 4, 2001 - Victims of- motorcycle crashes are increasingly- likely to be older people riding large- motorcycles on rural roads, according- to a study by the National Highway- Traffic Safety Administration. The findings came as a surprise, NHTSA officials said. "It exploded some of the- myths of where the problems lie in motorcycles," said Rae Tyson of the- NHTSA. Preliminary statistics for 2000 showed motorcycle crashes have steadily- increased over the past three years. In the year 2000 alone, deaths on motorcycles increased 8 percent, to 2,680 fatalities.- One reason cited was the increase in the number of motorcycles on the road -- sales increased by 51 percent between 1997 and 1999. In 1998, when 43.7- percent of owners were over 40 and the average age was 38, older riders for the- first time made up the majority of those killed in motorcycle crashes.- Since 1990, deaths for the 29-and-under age group have been steadily declining.- In 1999 the average age of a person killed on a motorcycle was 36.5 years.- Older riders tend to do almost everything by the book, the report found. They- get licensed, wear their helmets and even take rider training courses. In fact, more motorcyclists are getting valid licenses -- the report found that in 1999, 70 percent of the motorcycle riders killed had valid licenses compared with only 54 percent in 1990. People older than 29 who are killed generally are riding bikes with engines larger than 1000cc, and the 1001-1500cc category is the only group in which motorcycle fatalities increased between 1990 and 1999. [WARNING - As proof of NHTSA's corruption, incompetence and criminal negligence, none of its reports mention the word "Countersteering", nor does it mention that since police departments have started taking over the 1,000 Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) schools, the word "Countersteering" has increasingly been censored from "Beginner" classes (but not MSF's "Advanced" classes). This is despite MSF research showing that 98% of all biker crashes involve riders who have never heard the word "Countersteering". NHTSA also alleged that so-called "drunk driving" was increasing while censoring the fact that blood-alcohol tests are NEVER accurate for crash victims and are virtually never accurate for 100% sober drivers. See case in the Driver Law section below for the NON-drinking dead person with a "blood-alcohol level" of 0.40% (alleged "coma" or "DOA" level).] Senator killed biker in hit-and-run so Tennessee legislature named Interstate highway for the killer + Cop-killer given paid vacation by taxpayers = Rash of Road Rages
American Motorcyclist Association: "You're driving along U.S. Route 321 in Tennessee, and you see a billboard designating it the 'Terry Barnard Memorial Highway.' Those billboards, erected by the AMA, are a response to the decision by state legislators in Tennessee to name a nearby stretch of Interstate 140 after the late Sen. Carl Koella. Koella may have served the state well for many years, but in 1996 he was involved in a hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of motorcyclist Terry Barnard [an engineer for GM]. Koella turned his van left into the path of Barnard's motorcycle on Route 321 near where the AMA's billboards are located. The motorcyclist tried to avoid a crash, but he hit the side of the van, then ran into a car stopped behind it. As Terry Barnard lay dying by the side of the road, witnesses said Koella stopped, got out of his van, looked around, then drove away. He later pleaded no contest to leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The AMA does not oppose appropriate actions honoring Koella's long career in public office, but naming a highway after a driver who left a man dying in the road is more than just an insult -- it's outrageous." In other news, a local police officer in the same county was arrested for vehicular homicide and given paid vacation for ramming a biker without warning for the alleged crime of speeding - the dead biker was a family man - A COP - riding his sportbike to work at a responsible 50 miles-per-gallon. Bushed and GoredIt's safe to say that Jenna Bush is never going to be a member of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD lobbied furiously in the 1980s to raise the legal drinking age from 18 or 19 in most states to 21, making most typical American college students imbibing outlaws for the first three years of college. Now that dump-the-beer dragnet has caught the president's daughter for the second time this year. In October 1995, 16-year-old Sarah Gore was caught by Maryland police with an open can of beer. "She broke our rules, and she broke the law. She's extremely miserable and unhappy," Tipper Gore told the local Fox affiliate. The Washington Post's coverage focused on Sarah, the star athlete and great student. The networks, broadcast and cable, said absolutely nothing. In 1996, only the vaguest whispers surfaced that Al Gore III, then just 13, was suspended from school for possession of marijuana. British newspapers sniffed that the vice president effectively had cried to editors for restraint. Fast forward four years, and Al III has an obvious brush with the law in August of 2000, driving 97 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone in North Carolina. You could even make a retroactive argument for Karenna Gore, since an August 2000 Time magazine profile noted, "By the time she hit the teen years, her spirited nature veered into open rebellion. She was big on 'adventuring,' climbing out of her window to shimmy down a manhole into the D.C. subway system for after-hours partying." I suspect they were probably not Kool-Aid parties. Roger Clinton makes reckless driving plea in DWI stakeoutCNN News, August 8, 2001 - In a deal that spares him jail time, Roger Clinton pleaded guilty Tuesday to a non-alcohol-related charge of reckless driving. As part of the deal, the three initial charges -- two counts of drunken driving and one for disturbing the peace -- were dismissed. Clinton, who is the half-brother of former President Bill Clinton, could have faced a maximum 270 days in prison on those charges. Torrance Superior Court Judge Jesse Rodriguez sentenced Clinton to 24 months probation and ordered him to pay a fine of $1,351. In addition, the judge said he must report any new arrests within five days and that he must stay at least 100 yards away from the Lighthouse nightclub in Hermosa Beach, CA, where the incident began. The judge also said Clinton must not operate a vehicle with any amount of alcohol in his system, and he can't refuse an alcohol or drug test if requested by police. Clinton attorney, Mark Geragos, said his client is "extremely pleased" with the outcome. "It's a vindication of what we've said all along -- that it was a setup," said Geragos. The charge stems from a February 17 incident in which Clinton was accused of scuffling with a doorman at the Lighthouse, where he allegedly had drinks, and then left in a car. He was followed by police and charged with two counts of DUI. Geragos said he presented an audio tape to the judge that contained four of the seven arresting officers talking about his arrest 45 minutes beforehand. "Before he was even driving, they were staking him out," said Geragos. Roger Clinton was one of 140 people pardoned by his brother in the last days of the Clinton presidency. The younger Clinton had been convicted of a cocaine drug charge in Arkansas in 1985, while his brother was the state's governor. ALERT! Killer junk science and return of the bogus speed limit: "Slam on the brakes: First 55-mph signs are up"HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Feb. 4, 2002 - Texas Department of Transportation workers were busy this morning installing the new 55-mph "environmental speed limit" signs on farm-to-market roads in north and west Harris County. By late morning, Wigington said, the two-person crew had installed six signs in about 10 miles of FM 529 from Barker-Cypress Road to the Waller County line. The previous speed limit there was 70 mph, he said. Signs did not need changing on FM 529 east of Barker-Cypress, Wigington said, because the speed limit there was already 55. With that segment completed, he said, the crew moved to a 16-mile segment of FM 2920 from U.S. 290 to Tomball. Through February, the changeover will not proceed on a rigid schedule, so motorists on farm-to-market and state roads should be alert to the change. For most drivers, the big adjustment in behavior -- if not attitude -- will come March 4-8 when the changeout moves to local freeways. That may hit many like a bucket of ice water: Over much of the Houston freeway system, cars and trucks routinely zip along at 70 mph or higher when traffic conditions allow, and sometimes when they don't. The Texas Transportation Commission approved the 55-mph speed limit Dec. 13 as part of a plan developed by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to bring the eight-county region into compliance with federal ozone standards by 2007. The plan is facing challenges, including some from environmentalists who claim it won't achieve that goal. Officials of Fort Bend, Brazoria and Montgomery counties, all with fast-growing suburbs and residents who commute to jobs in Houston, sued the TNRCC in January 2001, contending their counties are unfairly blamed for the area's pollution problems. Montgomery County later dropped out of the case, and the transportation department was added as a defendant. As soon as the new limit is posted in Fort Bend and Brazoria counties, the issue could be propelled back into court, a lawyer for the counties said Friday.

As an incentive for carpooling, vanpooling and riding the bus, the new limit will not apply to the area's network of High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, said Julie Gilbert, vice president of the Metropolitan Transit Authority. Speed limits on the HOV lanes vary with location, but reach as high as 70 mph in some places.

NHTSA says older drivers are the most dangerous drivers - then demands driving restrictions for rookiesCNN News, Sept 4, 2001 - Older drivers have a higher death rate than their younger counterparts because they are more likely to die from automobile crash injuries. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety researchers came to that conclusion in a report that says that people over age 65 have a higher death rate per capita than any other group. "It's important to make travel safer for the seniors themselves, who are more frail and whose abilities may be reduced," said chief scientist Allan Williams. The IIHS report estimates there will be about 70 million drivers over the age of 65 by the year 2030. As the population ages, the institute says it may be a time for changes on the roadways. That may mean simple changes such as making intersections four-way stops, increasing round roundabouts in neighborhoods, changing signal timing to a short all-red phase, and increasing walk signals. While seniors are willing to make changes in their driving habits, a bigger project will be to get manufacturers to take seniors into consideration when designing cars. John Eberhand, a study consultant, says manufacturers are going to have to think about car design for older drivers. Such changes include depowered airbags, changes in seatbelt design, adjustable pedals, and seat and steering wheel adjustment improvements. CNN News, June 20, 2001 - A plan that would gradually give teenagers full driving privileges could drastically reduce the number of auto accidents in the next decade, the American Automobile Association (AAA) said. The Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) programs include nighttime driving restrictions, passenger restrictions and incentives for staying crash-free and conviction-free. "We want the strongest laws possible," said AAA spokeswoman Susan Pikrallidas. "That is why AAA and its partners ask all states to examine their GDL measure and to make the necessary changes. Enacting GDL laws in all states is the centerpiece of AAA's national Licensed to Learn campaign, which began in 1997. To date, 44 states have some form of GDL law. Neither AAA nor NHTSA recommended what would actually make safer drivers: (1) Skid-control training for every driver; (2) a 90% reduction of "traffic" police; (3) a 900% increase in emergency "1st-responder" units; (4) replacement of deadly traffic lights with non-stop 4-way intersections, what AAA Insurance Corporation named "round roundabouts". NHTSA VEHICLE ADVISORY for Law Enforcement Agencies, April 1, 1999 - On December 4, 1998, two persons were killed and nine injured when a 1997 Ford Econoline van suddenly accelerated into a crowd of people. The crash occurred when the driver inadvertently pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal and shifted from "Park" to "Drive." The van was equipped with police lights and had been modified so the shift-lock did not operate at that time.

MARCH 2000 - "We're looking for the best pictures of destroyed or vandalized traffic camer for an up-and-coming feature in the mag. You don't have to go out and discharge a double-barrel shotgun at one yourself, but if you know of one that has been 'customized', empty your Instamatic at it and send us the evidence. The best picture wins a top of the range Premier Hyper 2000 helmet worth £239." GETTING OUT OF HAND - I ENCOUNTERED A STAGGERING NEW GATSO ON THE RIDE TO WORK THIS MORNING. THE CAMERA WAS SITUATED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHTS JUNCTION, THE LIGHTS WERE ON RED, SO WE ALL SAT THERE, LIKE YOU DO. THEN THEY CHANGED TO GREEN, ME AND A VAN PULLED AWAY TOGETHER AND AS WE DID SO, POOM! POOM! DOUBLE FLASH FROM THE GATSO, WE'D JUST HAD OUT PICTURES TAKEN. FOR CROSSING A JUNCTION ON A GREEN LIGHT. CAMERA ACTION - The first thing on any speed copper's shopping list in this new Century is a new type of speed camera called SPECS, which works without radar or flash. There are two units stationed a few hundred meters apart. Both of the sneaky bastards take a digital image of your number plate on record it. The built-in computer calculates your speed between the two points and sends theinformation down a phone line to ticketing offices. No film means when they ARE installed they'll work 7 days a week, all through bank holidays and suchlike.. The only bright side is that presumably traffic cops will be made redundant, which will at least save us from having to disturbed men in uniform who 'like to ride a fast bike too but , hey, there's a time and a place for everything.'" CUNNING DEVICES THAT'LL NICK YOU - "Camera signs must be posted on roads with cameras. These don't guarantee a camera presence but are your first warning. Scan the roadside for camera posts as well as tell-tale markings in the road. The most 'successful' cameras are the semi-hidden ones. 1 in 8 cameras have film in them. No flashes or a single flash means you're safe, 2 flashes means you might get nicked.Another Gatso-type doesn't flash, but faces oncoming traffic and has a circular red lens. Because it only takes pictures of the front of the vehicle bikes are safe. If the camera is live the cops have 14 days to send you, the registered owner of the vehicle, the fixed penalty or notice of prosecution ["service of process"]. After 14 days, it's no longer valid. Politely inform the Gatso Department and your case should be dropped." IN-CAR PROVIDA VIDEO - "Fitted to the tricker traffic cars, marked and unmarked, and measures 'your' speed [copper's speed] as well as videoing your antics for posterity and court. The only way to beat it is to make sure you're not filmed in the first place. If you are nicked with it, ask to see the video at the scene before admitting anything - in cases where the video isn't enough to get a conviction, they may try to get a confession out of you before showing it. See before you speak."

BBC NEWS, LONDON, 7 Feb 2002 - There are 25 million CCTV cameras in operation worldwide, with 2.5 million in the UK. In Reading town centre alone, there are 327 CCTV cameras, a handful on the street, 140 in the shopping centre and 161 in the main carpark. And the chances of getting caught on camera are set to rise, particularly with the use of digital CCTV. "Analogue only records about 5% of what is going on, whereas digital systems can record everything and there is no deterioration in the quality," explains Oliver Vellacott, the head of IndigoVison, makers of surveillance systems. Digital cameras can also be networked together, something not possible with analogue because the signal has to be sent along a dedicated line and can travel no further than about 170 kilometres (100 miles). The vision of cameras watching your every move is close to becoming a reality, with analysts predicting a tenfold increase in CCTV in the UK in the next five years. "This opens up the debate about whether the publi
