Since we haven’t done a Friday freedom question for a while, and since today is one of those Infamous Fridays — the thirteenth:
What’s the best thing (or things) you can think of today that would cause some well-deserved bad luck to the Stasi or their pals, agents, and enablers who are ignoring the Bill of Rights and stealing our freedom?
This could be something real and practical (therefore publically non-incriminating, please) or highly theoretical (therefore any fantasy scenario Hollywood could dream up).
Do Unto Them As They Have Done Unto Others.
Grope the gropers. Mace the macers. (I am still haunted by the video of the guy being maced in the ear.) Tase the tasers. Lie… Steal… Fraud… SWAT doors. Stop and search. Deny proper defense in court. Intimidate and accuse. Etc, etc.
Is this vengeance or justice? Probably a little – or a lot – of both. But the best ‘bad luck’ for these bullies IS justice: turning the laws they passed (and their own lawlessness) back on them – in the courts, on the streets, on Wall Street, by confiscation of bank accounts, through secret surveillance, even sending them to foreign countries to fight. (See if _they_ can establish democracy-by-force – an oxymoron if ever I heard one.)
Yeah, it’s fantasy. But I can’t imagine any worse luck for them than to have to answer to their own perverted system.
I’m not too good at fantasies, so if you’ll forgive me I’ll leave them to others better qualified.
But there is a real, non-fantasy way to pull the rug from under these perverts – although, alas, it requires quite a few Friday the 13ths. About 48 of them in total, though on reasonable assumptions half of those are already history. (They occur 1.72 times a year if the reckoning at http://2000clicks.com/MathHelp/CountingFridayThe13th.aspx is correct.)
There are three steps, amplified at http://tolfa.us/grr.htm :-
1. Get the homework done, so as to understand freedom
2. Introduce one friend per year to the same study course, and
3. Resign any government job held.
The State is not immovable. It can and will be abolished. That’s how.
They become subject to all the laws they create-no exceptions. If caught, no Club Fed-they wind up in a cell with Big Moe just like the idiot that holds up a liquor store.
They become personally responsible to any individual they cause financial losses/property damage to.
No special privileges at all. Ain’t gonna happen, but I think if those making the laws were as subject to them as everyone else, there would be fewer of them.
Secretly film them for several hours while they are privately discussing/ridiculing “the serfs,” and then put it up on prime time network TV with some well-researched graphics afterward – perhaps on how insider trading is legal for them, a detailed explanation of their wonderful free healthcare, pensions, trips, net worth, and the identities of their biggest donors. Then switch to interviews of real people who are struggling financially from our lousy economy.
I think it may be time to introduce the Government (all levels) to Simon Jester. This day, Fri. the 13th, as well as all other having to do with pranks and bad lucks, but why stop there?
“They” are already out there. But more Simon Jester are needed and will always be welcome. You don’t even need to join with anyone else. A cell of one is always best for this type of activies.
Some have even put up web-site about Simon Jestering.

You don’t need to do what these guys did or do. Everyone is better off if you could come up with pranks yourself. Especially since the best ones tend to be “spur of the moment” types.
TANSTAAFL!!!
I can’t see the words “Hollywood” and “actors” and “wishes of well-deserved bad luck” without thinking this:
Break a leg. Please.
In true Twilight Zone fashion, I would suggest that they be captured by extra-terrestrials and placed in a zoo on another planet, where their entire existence is watched constantly
Jim B.: Heh. Coincidentally, the original simonjester.org site was created by moi. Had to turn it over to the current holder when I ran out of money (there ain’t any money in freedomistaing).
Women would shun them.
Whoa. That’ll break Hillary’s heart.
Laugh at them, whenever and where ever possible. Don’t take them seriously. Ridicule is possibly the most effective form of resistance over the long haul. The PTB work very hard to instill fear and apprehension. Refuse to be afraid, and of course, get as far as possible out of the way of the flailing, dying beast.
