3D Printed Parts And Free Speech

Leave a comment

UPDATED 8/1/2018  You can download all the scary files   HERE

UPDATED 7/31/2018.  First Amendment Right TRAMPLED.  I’m removing the link to the files.

UPDATED WITH THE CONTROVERSIAL FILE!

Yesterday, 8 states decided to sue the Trump Administration for allowing Defense Distributed to resume publishing online files to produce 3D printed firearms parts. What they seek to do is not clear to me, other than to violate the First Amendment Right to free speech and expression.

Here are the 8 FOOLISH states:

  • Washington
  • Massachusetts
  • Connecticut
  • New Jersey
  • Pennsylvania
  • Oregon
  • Maryland
  • New York
  • District of Columbia

Once again the deep blue coastal states want to claim the moral high ground on what IDEAS AND INFORMATION you as a CITIZEN should be able to have access to.  It just astounds me that F’ing high paid LAWYERS and politicians CANNOT understand the law or the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!

The “agreement” that the Administration came to with Defense Distributed is that they could RESUME publishing of the files. They had been prohibited from publishing the files because the Obama Justice Department “believed” that the ONLINE publication “might” reach ANOTHER country and this exchange of intellectual property might fall under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restrictions.  NOTICE the word INTERNATIONAL.  ITAR restrictions DO NOT apply to the exchange of information INSIDE of THE UNITED STATES.

The Trump DOJ determined that the publication of the files DOES NOT VIOLATE ITAR RESTRICTIONS which is why they settled their grievance with Defense Distributed. It was NEVER prohibited for UNITED STATES CITIZENS to access the files. Defense Distributed had previously stopped online distribution only because they could not guarantee that the files would not be downloaded by an ITAR restricted state.

Now with that background, the current lawsuit by the 8 FOOLISH STATES is an attempt to stifle UNITED STATES CITIZENS from viewing material that has NEVER been considered in any way ILLEGAL. Normally you can discuss thoughts and technology in a free exchange. You could if you wanted to talk about the technology to produced a nuclear weapon without any restriction.

Once again, YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS are targeted by the LEFTISTS. Maybe the LEFTIST politicians should pass legislation for “Prohibiting Only Objectionable Personal Interchange and Expression” or POOPIE.  Then the SELF ORDAINED HIGH COUNCIL OF MORALITY could PINCH A LOAF on any thoughts or ideas that they deem as “objectionable”.

“Fuck free speech if it’s not, correct speech!“, is their motto.

Okay, now to say “Fuck you” to the left.  You can click on the link to download a copy of the FILE that had caused all the uproar, HERE.

Gender Pay Gap

Leave a comment

I’m all for equality in pay.

Here’s some data of a gender pay gap in one industry.

This industry has on average a 128% difference in pay between genders. On the upper end of the pay scale it gets ever more disproportionate. One gender’s highest wage was $1.5 million. The other gender was compensated $47 million. That’s an over 3000% gap in pay!  (This was taken from 2013-2014 data)

The funny thing is I don’t hear anyone complaining about this obviously SEXIST wage gap.

What’s the industry? Fashion modeling.  Women have ALWAYS made more money than men.  The gap is out of whack and opposite compared to the 20% pay gap, I hear so many social justice warriors complaining about.

I think women should be foregoing these huge contracts and stand up for their downtrodden male counterparts.  Make it more equitable for MEN.  Shouldn’t men get the same rate as women for standing around and looking “purdy”?  And we need some men with beer bellies to represent the ordinary man.  Ripped six-pack abbed guys are fat shaming the rest of us beer swilling Neanderthals!

C’mon fashion industry leaders, who are by and large women, fix this egregious condition.   Most of you leaders probably endorse the socialist agenda.  From the DSA’s website propaganda, “We reject… gross inequalities of wealth and power, discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression…”  Get with your party’s goals.  Zir up!  I would have said “man” up but they wouldn’t have understood the terminology.

Never mind the fact that there are valid financial reasons as to why women are compensated more highly than men.  This is socialism we’re talking about.  Screw the EVIL profit motive!

Fair is fair, or stop your F’ing whining.

Security Clearances

Leave a comment

Today, The White House announced that it is considering rescinding the security clearances for some of President Obama’s cabinet members and staff. Of course the loonie leftists in Congress are saying that if they do this, this is the end of the world. “Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling, Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… ”

Let’s get a few facts about security clearances. In order to handle classified information, you need at least TWO things,

  • Possess a clearance that is at or above the highest level of classification of the material that you will be accessing.
  • You must have a “NEED TO KNOW” in order to have access to the classified information.

Just because someone has a top secret clearance DOES NOT give them FREE access to any piece of classified information.  If John Brennan, former director of the CIA and current MSNBC (corrected on 7/25/2018, I originally wrote CNN) talking head, waltzed into the CIA and asked to see ANY piece of classified information, the lowliest employee is supposed to challenge him with, “WHAT IS YOUR NEED TO KNOW?“.  Of course he wouldn’t have any and said employee should tell Brennan to pound sand.

For us mortals, we must show a NEED to possess a clearance AND we must work for an organization that has a FACILITIES CLEARANCE which is the holder of the clearance.  I doubt that CNN, MSNBC, or any news organization had the proper facilities clearances to hold anyone’s clearance.

High level officials were allowed to maintain their clearances to allow them to help out in the transition from one administration to the next. There has also been a weak argument that previous administration’s staff has “corporate knowledge” that might be tapped in a crisis situation.

I see no reason for any of President Obama’s staff to have clearances. I cannot see anyone from President Trump’s administration EVER seeking “advice” from the buffoons of the previous administration.

Okay, maybe they might want to know how much a pallet of HALF A BILLION DOLLAR$ in CASH weighs, next time someone wants to load up an unmarked transport aircraft with the PAY OFF to a TERRORIST regime.
