Texas Sues GM for Spying on Drivers

Posted by M. C. on November 7, 2024

I doubt this activity is limited to GM.

Yet another reason why I no longer like cars.

Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has filed a lawsuit against General Motors for illegally collecting driving data on customers for the past decade without the driver’s consent AND selling that data to insurance companies. According to the lawsuit, this practices has resulted in consumers’ monthly insurance premiums increasing and some customer having their coverage dropped.

Texas Should Nullify Supreme Court Decision

Posted by M. C. on January 26, 2024

By Joseph Sansone, PhD
Mind Matters and Everything Else

While they are at it, the Texas legislature should nullify the federal income tax for Texans, since the Federal Government has breached its contract and violated the terms of the compact called the United States Constitution, which created the United States. I digress…again…

When the Roman Empire was in decline, it had difficulty maintaining its borders from the barbarian hordes. True, they weren’t all pillaging, many were migrating to escape other barbarians, but the Romans weren’t able to repel or withstand the influx. The Romans ended up having many of these barbarians serve in the Roman Legions as mercenaries in exchange for citizenship. If it sounds a little familiar, it should, as some in Congress have been floating the idea of exchanging citizenship for military service for illegal aliens.

The United States of America is following a similar pattern; however, we are not experiencing an organic decline as the Romans did for various reasons. Instead, immigration and illegal immigration are one of many pieces of the puzzle in what is the deliberate destruction of the United States. The 1965 Immigration Act opened the doors to America and began a process of transformation. This ended what was basically a 50 year moratorium on immigration. This policy change coincided with an unofficial policy change of deliberately not securing the borders. On the surface, it gave corporatist Republicans cheap voters and Democrats a perpetual flow of an underclass vote. On a deeper level, this fueled a long term Marxist agenda to overthrow the United States as part of the Globalist agenda for World Government.

The United States Supreme Court is obviously held captive. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling compelling Texas to allow U.S. border patrol agents to cut barb wire along the Texas Mexico border, is a treacherous act contrary to the United States Constitution and the continued existence of the country.

There is a simple Constitutional remedy called Nullification. The founding fathers believed in such a remedy as evidenced by the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions. An even more compelling example was when the State of Wisconsin nullified the United States Supreme Court decision. The state of Wisconsin passed a law and refused to return fugitive freed slaves back to their owners.

Governor Abbot should immediately call a special emergency session of the Texas legislature for the purpose of passing legislation nullifying the Supreme Court’s decision. The state of Texas has a basic right to protect its border from a foreign invasion. There is absolutely no justification for the existence of the federal government if it refuses to protect the border and repel a foreign invasion.

Utterly ridiculous, the military can be dispersed throughout Washington DC, yet can’t protect the border?

While they are at it, the Texas legislature should nullify the federal income tax for Texans, since the Federal Government has breached its contract and violated the terms of the compact called the United States Constitution, which created the United States. I digress…again…

Let’s take a look at what Wisconsin did. The Joint Resolution of the Legislature of Wisconsin, March 19, 1859 reads as follows:

JOINT RESOLUTION relative to the decision of the United States supreme court, reversing decision of the supreme court of Wisconsin.

Whereas, the supreme court of the United States has assumed appellate jurisdiction in the matter of the petition of Sherman M. Booth for a writ of habeas corpus, presented and prosecuted to final judgment in the supreme court of this state, and has, without process, or any of the forms recognized by law, assumed the power to reverse that judgment in a matter involving the personal liberty of the citizen, asserted by and adjusted to him by the regular course of judicial proceedings upon the great writ of liberty secured to the people of each state by the constitution of the United States :

And whereas, such assumption of power and authority by the supreme court of the United States, to become the final arbiter of the liberty of the citizen, and to override and nullify the judgments of the state courts, declaration thereof, is in direct conflict with that provision of the constitution of the United States which secures to • the people the benefits of writ of habeas corpus : Therefore, 248 JOINT RESOLUTIONS—NUMBER 5.

Resolved, the Senate concurring, That we regard the action of the supreme court of the United States, in assuming jurisdiction in the case before mentioned, as an arbitrary act of power, unauthorized by the constitution, and virtually superseding the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus, and prostrating the rights and liberties of the people at the foot of unlimited power.

Resolved, That this assumption of jurisdiction by the federal judiciary, in the said case, and without process, is an act of undelegated power, and therefore without authority, void, and of no force. Resolved, That the government formed by the constitution of the United States was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself ; but that, as in all other cases of compact among parties having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.

Resolved, That the principle and construction con[1]tended for by the party which now rules in the councils of the nation, that the general government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it, stop nothing short of despotism, since the discretion of those who administer the government, and not the constitution, would be the measure of their powers ; that the several states which formed that instrument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction ; and that a positive defiance of those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done or attempted to be done under color of that instrument, is the rightful remedy. Approved March 19, 1859.

There you have it. It can be done. It has been done. One might say there is a legal and historical precedent.

What more compelling reason could there be than there is a foreign invasion?

The campaign of asymmetrical warfare being waged against us requires asymmetrical resistance. This invasion is designed to overwhelm the system, segment the country and create division and chaos, as well as a disidentification with the idea of being American. This makes it easier to submit the population to global tyranny.

Zelda, The Bravest Spider

Posted by M. C. on December 23, 2022

December daredevil

Daniel McAdams

Tonight is the end of Zelda’s life. She is the bravest orb weaver I’ve ever known. No one sets up an elaborate web in Texas in mid-December. They are all gone by October. Along with the mosquitoes.

What was she thinking?

But there she was, displaying her formidable beauty. A Platonic form of her existence. Perfection.

Set up from the hedge outside my office window. Proud as a sunrise. From the hedge extending up to the soffit. The cheekiness of spring. That was Zelda.

Are you insane, Zelda? This is December. Where darkness reigns. You think it is April?

I wanted to settle in and talk to her, but she was stoic and unresponsive. Only bracing herself against the wind, awaiting eagerly and perhaps desperately the misadventure of a wandering flying creature. Nature’s GPS malfunction.

It was a storefront set up in a bad neighborhood. Yes there were still a few mosquitoes, Zelda, but surely you did not think that this late in the season you would find flies and moths and even anoles.

Zelda, you gave us false hope that we could beat the seasons. That winter would not consume us.

You ebbed and flowed and surfed the light winds in an awfully confident way and I am not ashamed to admit you tricked us.

As the wind picked up I saw you desperately leave your elaborate silk castle to cling to the heat emanating from the vent in the soffit. You were defeated.

I wanted this story to be of your triumph. I set out to photograph you standing strong amidst the dark freeze and wind, confident in who you are.

Alas Zelda, you abandoned ship and sought refuge under the soffit vent. Saving yourself alone. You have already eaten your husband. As alarming as it may sound, we husbands if we are being honest find this not unfamiliar. We all seem to be eaten and disappeared.

I don’t blame you, Zelda.

Zelda it is not yet midnight and the windchill is nine degrees. You lurk under the vent in the soffit, but your days are numbered.

I will open the door to a very hard chill and look about and Zelda will be gone. As if she never came.

Thermostats In Texas Homes Are Being Accessed Remotely And Turned Up Due To An Energy Shortage | ZeroHedge

Posted by M. C. on June 22, 2021

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/thermostats-texas-homes-are-being-accessed-remotely-and-turned-due-energy-shortage

Tyler Durden's Photoby Tyler Durden

Have a smart thermostat at home? Better keep an eye on it – especially if you live in Texas.

That’s because some residents of the Lone Star state have been claiming that someone has been turning up the temperatures at their homes, remotely, at the same time the state is undergoing an energy shortage. 

And while the Electric Reliability Council of Texas has asked Texans to turn up the temperatures at their homes to help deal with the shortage, some residents are claiming it’s being done for them. 

Deer Park resident Brandon English told KHOU: “(My wife) had it cranked it down at 2:30. It takes a long time for this house to get cool when it gets that hot. They’d been asleep long enough that the house had already gotten to 78 degrees. So they woke up sweating.”

His wife received an alert on her phone shortly thereafter saying their thermostat had been changed remotely due to an “energy saving event”. 

“Was my daughter at the point of overheating? She’s 3 months old. They dehydrate very quickly,” English said. And according to KHOU, the English’s house isn’t the only place where such “adjustments” can take place:

The family’s smart thermostat was installed a few years ago as part of a new home security package. Many smart thermostats can be enrolled in a program called “Smart Savers Texas.” It’s operated by a company called EnergyHub.

The agreement states that in exchange for an entry into sweepstakes, electric customers allow them to control their thermostats during periods of high energy demand. EnergyHub’s list of its clients include TXU Energy, CenterPoint and ERCOT.

“I wouldn’t want anybody else controlling my things for me,” English said. He said he unenrolled the home’s thermostat as soon as he found out. “If somebody else can manipulate this, I’m not for it,” he said.

Similar complaints on a Houston Reddit board showed that English wasn’t the only person who had the issue. “Several others” said their thermostats were also accessed and turned up.

Though Greg Abbott deserves much criticism for shutting Texas down, his re-opening decree effectively ended Covid tyranny across the country. We are thankful for that. Now we must resolve to never let this happen again.

Now Appearing For A limited Time-Truth

Posted by M. C. on May 19, 2021

Have you wondered why anyone is still alive in Florida, Georgia and Texas? Places where mask and distancing requirements were eliminated or not there to begin with.

Are you wondering what will happen to all the non-vaccinated. Will they all drop dead?

If you are not worrying the government is. Are the government and media pushing hard for the sheeple to vaccinate because if they don’t and the plebs don’t die, how do they explain that?

Do you get the feeling the Fauci, WHO and WEF flip-flops are signs of panic mode?

If there was no election fraud why the panic over election audits?

The data banking of your personal information and communications is getting to the point that government doesn’t bother to deny it. Look for more of that, if more is even possible.

The truth is dribbling out for those that aren’t glued to CNN. That is bad for the military-industrial-bankster- congressional complex.

The two obvious things to expect are a new virus upsurge in the fall and/or a new war.

Crypto-currency regulation, government issued digital currency, gold and silver regulation are other areas of concern.

Have a nice day!
