Haruka Weiser was as much a victim of Liberalism

Guest Post by Angel at Lonely Libertarian

I’ve been stewing on this all week, and the more I think about it, the madder I get. Liberal ideology got an 18-year-old girl killed last weekend. Most of you have probably seen or heard news reports about the murder of a University of Texas co-ed Saturday night. If not, here’s a quick rundown:

Haruka Weiser was a first year theater-dance major at the University of Texas, Austin.
Weiser left the rehearsal hall Sunday evening and her body was found Tuesday morning in a creek bed on the campus.
A 17-year-old African-American Son of Obama was charged with 1st degree murder in her death. The defendant has been in the foster care and juvenile corrections systems most of his life.

Looking at the perpetrator, you can expect bleeding hearts to blame the system and not the person who committed the act. Weiser wasn’t murdered because her attacker was a black man; plenty of black men live their whole lives without committing a crime. Weiser wasn’t murdered because her attacker had been a foster child. Numerous foster children grow up to be stable and productive citizens. Weiser died because of a perfect storm. She was a naive and unprepared young woman who crossed paths with Evil on a Liberal college campus that promoted tolerance and fostered victimhood. She was basically set up.

Now, looking at the victim, one can make certain assumptions. Haruka Weiser was a dancer, so assume she was slight of stature. Most serious dancers will be around 5 foot nothing and weigh at or under 100 pounds. Her attacker is a healthy young man, probably around 6 feet and 180-200 pounds. Easily overpowering. She was from an upper middle class family from Oregon. Most likely raised in a liberal household that would have trained her to see all African-American males as victims of white privilege and not an overt threat to her existence. This family, more than likely would not only have not trained her to defend herself, but would have taught her to shun her natural instincts of survival, seeing them as racist and wrong-minded.

MEANWHILE….IN TEXAS

Woman on big rig

A naked woman jumped on top of a big rig on Highway

Naked dancing woman shuts down Highway 290

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A standoff with a naked woman dancing on top of a big rig finally ended Monday morning when police and firefighters took her into custody.

Highway 290 westbound was shut down at Huffmeister for more than two hours due to the crash and the standoff.

Views from Air 11 showed the woman twerking and gyrating for passing vehicles just after 9 a.m. Monday.

Firefighters and police officers used ladder trucks to try and coax her down, but she refused to budge. They finally jumped on the hood of the big rig and handcuffed her.

Houston TranStar reports the dancing woman was preceded by a crash involving three vehicles. It’s believed the woman was driving one of the wrecked cars, but it’s unknown why she decided to climb the big rig and dance.

As of 11:05 a.m. the freeway’s westbound lanes remained blocked.

The standoff caused delays on the eastbound side of 290 as well.

The woman was taken to an area hospital for a mental health evaluation.

Vampire Cops

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Apparently, our money’s not enough.

They want our blood, too.

You may have heard about this. In Texas – one of America’s, uh, “freest” states – the cops have got the power to throw you over the hood of a cruiser and forcibly extract your blood if you decline to take a Breathalyzer test. After having been forced to stop for no specific reason at a “sobriety” checkpoint. Your refusal to cooperate – that is, to prove your innocence (that’s how it works in America nowadays) to the satisfaction of a cop is all the provocation necessary. Roll down your sleeve.

Or else.

Count (oops, Police Chief) Art Acevedo of the Austin PD wants to expand what had been a “pilot” program – weekends only – to a full time regular operation.

To make this routine. News story here.

Inevitably, other states will follow. Oregon already has. At some point, the Supreme Court will “affirm” the “constitutionality” of these blood draws. Why not? It has already affirmed the “constitutionality” of all sorts of obviously not constitutional practices – including the random and probable cause-bereft stopping of motorists to force them to prove they aren’t guilty of pretty much everything in the motor vehicle code (e.g., you’re forced to prove you have a license, the mandatory insurance, that your car is registered and has all the demanded stickers, that you are buckled up for “safety”, etc.). If these fishing expeditions are reasonable (as demanded by the Fourth Amendment) then what constitutes an unreasonable search?

Secession in the Winds Texas & Catalonia

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Our Cycle of War used as the seed the Wheeler Index. However, there were some major problems with key events that were overlooked. So we corrected the data and then extended it for the period following his death. We then created a parallel index correlated to economics. The next result was a series of cycles appeared and a correlation with the economy emerged very clearly interfaced with debt. The fundamental principle to emerge from that work was the fact that we could both distinguish between domestic civil unrest which begins and at times moves into revolution, and international events. There are interesting political responses which often determine the outcome.

On the international level, war emerges from two separate trends. First there is the more traditional trend where the economy turns down which results in government needing too find an external enemy or there will be civil unrest that overthrows the government. This version is intertwined with the Civil Unrest Model and is often the escape value for government to retain power. Here the domestic unrest model can be transformed into an international conflict if politics is desperate to save itself and sees that way out.

Should Texas Secede? Texans May Have Ballot Question to “Reassert Its Status As Independent Nation”

Guest Post by Mac Slavo

The question of secession on a ballot it is a one. Secession might make a powerful statement to voice defiance government tyranny, but it could also set off sparks.

Now, it appears that the biggest and most independent-minded state in the union might test that question. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.

Regardless, the possibility shows the pulse of the nation:

Texans May Have Secession Question on Republican Primary Ballot

by Joshua Krause at the Daily Sheeple

Aside from voting for whatever politician happens to be the flavor of the month, the Republican voters of Texas may have an additional question to answer for when Super Tuesday arrives next year. If the Texas Nationalist Movement has its way, then the Republican primary ballot may have to ask voters to decide whether or not they think “the state of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation” and secede from the United States

Much to the chagrin of the Republican party, the Texas independence group is currently gathering signatures for a petition that would place their non-binding question on the ballot. According to the Texas Secretary of State, they will need at least 66,894 signatures, though the organization is shooting for 75,000.

Historically, the Republican Party would have the final say on what goes on their ballot, and they’ve tried to distance themselves from the Texas Nationalist Movement in the past. If the petition succeeds, it would be the first time that an outside group has their referendum placed on the Republican ballot. The group’s president hopes that the vote will get state legislators to take the issue seriously. “Texas and Washington, D.C. are on very different paths, and the people of Texas obviously recognize that…The Texas Nationalist Movement message has been one not of reaction to grievance but one of a future we can build as an independent nation.”
