Wow.
Libertarians are not anarchists.
Libertarians believe in a small government, balanced budgets, freedom, and peace. The government should be responsible for running the police, court system, and protecting the border. Libertarians oppose victimless crimes.
The private market can provide schools, roads, security, courts, and airports, too.
The USA had freedom for 200 years.
The US fought Nazis and Communists so why are Americans becoming Nazis and Communists now?
The USA is now a bankrupt warmongering police state and Americans think the answer to the US collapse is more war, more tyranny, and more debt.
Insanity.
The elites have bought off politicians with campaign donations and cushy job promises. The 1% control the media, Hollywood, Wall Street, and the government. Our overlords have brainwashed Americans to love war, the police state, and debt and to be dependent on food stamps while using regulations and taxes to prohibit Americans from earning a living.
Crime would not rise if everything is legal. If sleeping was illegal, everyone would be a criminal because everyone sleeps. Stealing is now a crime, but if theft was legal then no thieves would be arrested. Crimes rates would fall if there were no crimes and nothing was illegal.
If everything was legal then people would use personal responsibility to solve problems.
If everything was legal and someone smoked pot in your face you could shoot him, BUT that probably wouldn't happen because someone could shoot you back. Having no laws doesn't mean that there are no consequences.
Do you prefer dangerous freedom or peaceful slavery?
Do people escape from North Korea or immigrate to North Korea?
Think.

Stone blocks modern aircraft carrying millions of people each day around the world And space shuttles sending humans to the stars.
- And liftoff of Endeavor - But are these examples of modern technology, or is there evidence that these incredible achievements existed on earth thousands of years ago? You begin to have to ask yourself, are we missing part of the story? Could ancient man have possessed knowledge far beyond that of our own century? And if so, where did it come from? I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming not from this earth, and they gave us scientific technologies.
It becomes ever more apparent that the possible answer of "Have aliens visited in the past?" could be a potential yes.
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.
What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? And if so, what if there were clues left behind, sometimes hiding in plain sight? What if we could find the evidence? ⪠⪠XOXO Saqqara, Egypt.
Located roughly 20 miles south of Cairo, it is home to the world-famous step pyramid of King Djoser.
Dating back more than 4,000 years, it is the oldest of Egypt's 97 pyramids.
Saqqara is also famous for being one of Egypt's oldest burial grounds, earning it the nickname "City of the Dead.
" It was here, in 1891, that French archeologists unearthed an ancient tomb containing the burial remains of Pa-di-Imen, an official from the third century BC.
Among the various items discovered was a small wooden model of what appeared to be a bird, lying beside a papyrus bearing the inscription: "I want to fly.
" The artifact was later sent to the Cairo Museum, where authorities placed it alongside several other bird figurines.
The model sat largely unnoticed, until 1969, when Egyptologist Dr.
Kahlil Messiha was examining the bird collection and noticed that there was something very different about the Saqqara bird.
It's interesting because on one hand, clearly, it should look like a bird because it has eyes and has a typical nose of a bird.
On the other hand, the wings are clearly not bird wings.
To the middle of the rim, you see this wing a bit thicker.
In this region, the lift-up is the highest.
The whole thing becomes thinner to the, um, end of the wings.
And those wings, uh, model down.
And this is a very modern aerodynamic design.
Then the other point is, birds have no rudders.
Because a bird does not need a rudder because of its aerodynamic architecture.
And so, there is the idea they are not representing birds, but flying machines, or aircraft.
Could the ancient Egyptians have possessed the power of flight? In 2006, aviation and aerodynamics expert Simon Sanderson built a scale model of the Saqqara bird five times larger than the original to test that possibility.
We're running at a constant speed, slowly increasing the angle of attack, and then measuring the forces which it's producing.
That way, we can learn about its flight characteristics.
At ten degrees, we're producing four times weight and lift.
So, it actually would be flying now.
That's good.
Test shows the Saqqara bird is a highly developed glider.
And this is the design we use today.
During the Sanderson test, it was discovered that the only thing preventing the Saqqara bird from achieving flight was the lack of a rear stabilizing rudder, or elevator, needed to maintain balance.
Is it possible that the Saqqara bird ever possessed this critical component? What is missing is something like an elevator, but if you look at this feature here, then we may interpret that something like an elevator was connected here, but was lost during history.
Computer models seem to confirm that the Saqqara bird is certainly airworthy.
But there is another problem to consider: launching a glider.
Modern methods require the use of a towplane that pulls the glider into the air, then releases it when a proper altitude is reached.
So, how might the ancient Egyptians have launched the Saqqara bird? The scientifics of Egyptology told us that such a bird could be powered off by catapults to fly.
And, uh, we had high acceptance by Egyptian scientists.
The idea of using a catapult does have a contemporary parallel.
Many of today's glider enthusiasts employ a bungee cord system to launch their sail craft into the air.
But if the Saqqara bird is capable of flight, where would ancient Egyptians have acquired such technology? I think that people in ancient times were visited by beings coming not from this earth, and they gave us culture and scientific technologies to improve our life on earth coming from the primitive to a higher developed culture.
If ancient cultures would be able to produce any really flyable machine, they would be far more advanced than we believe today.
It changes our viewpoint of ancient societies.
It's a fact that our ancestors were more intelligent and had more technological superiority capabilities than our history books give them credit for.
You begin to have to ask yourself, "Are we missing part of the story?" And honestly, I think we are.
I think there has been a forgotten episode in human history.
And, uh, we're a species with amnesia.
We don't really remember who or what we are.
I haven't been convinced that there is evidence that support an ancient visitation, but there is no reason why not, and I think to shut oneself to that possibility is a mistake, mainly because there is so many anomalies that we can't explain.
Egypt, the dense jungles and rugged mountains of Colombia contain a vast number of archaeological sites.
Many treasure hunters believed the legendary City of Gold, El Dorado, lies hidden here somewhere under a thick canopy of trees.
While the mythical metropolis has never been found, early in the 20th century, tomb-robbers searching along the Magdalena River stumbled upon a gravesite dating back 1,500 years to a pre-Colombian civilization known as the Tolima.
Among the funerary objects found there were hundreds of small two- to three-inch gold figurines.
Many of those looked like insects and fish.
However, out of those hundreds that they found, they also found about a dozen that are eerily reminiscent of modern-day fighter jets.
They have a triangular shape.
They have an upright tailfin, stabilizers and a fuselage.
And they have nothing in common with anything similar in nature.
Could these gold objects really be proof that earth has been visited by ancient aliens? One of the objects shows a typical swept wings like with a modern aircraft.
And you compare it to something like a space shuttle.
You see that the basic wing shape is very similar to wing shapes for high-speed aerodynamic bodies like a space shuttle is.
There is not a single insect in the world which has got its wings at the bottom.
Now, when you exclude the possibility that it's an insect, one of the things which remain is the fact that this is actually, yes, what it looks like: a plane.
In 1997, German aviation experts including Algund Eenboom and Peter Belting, set out to prove the speculation by building a scale-model replica of the gold flyer, fully equipped with landing gear and a working engine.
It was rather simple because we don't need to put much parts to this shape because this shape is perfect.
Everything was already done by the native people 2,000 years They did not add an inch or remove an inch.
They just essentially blew the little thing into a larger size.
I mean, this is sensational that pre-Colombian culture knew about aerodynamics.
Once completed, the remote controlled flyer took off down a makeshift runway and flew.
When you see this thing taking off, you really feel that this is the real deal.
It was a very successful test and showed us how perfect ancient people were working out aerodynamic design.
What it shows you that there must be something happened.
We are not quite sure how it did, but that it did.
This is applied science.
This isn't just thinking somewhere.
This is people going out there and making sure and proving, what I still see, anybody can see this, that this is real.
This is genuine.
This little thing, which sits in a museum, could fly.
So we have two examples from opposite sides of the planet, and both examples are aerodynamically sound and they fly.
So, to suggest that all of this is coincidence I mean, after a while, even coincidence no longer makes sense.
Could the ancients have seen actual entities, like ancient gods, ancient astronauts actually flying around in what amounted to modern aircraft? The answer to these questions may be found in ancient documents that describe flight patterns, aircraft specs, and even aerial battles in remarkable detail.
Over the past 50 years, NASA has sent astronauts into space inside large rockets.
This method has been described by some as simply "putting a man on a large firecracker and lighting the fuse.
" Man's ability to travel farther into space would require more advanced propulsion systems.
Several are being researched by NASA.
There are a wide variety of advanced propulsion technologies that are being actively developed and studied by NASA and other researchers.
A really exotic version of that is to use a launch-assist catapult, use technology derived from the magnetic levitation trains to build a maglev sled.
It carries your rocket, gets it up to about Mach 1, and then launches the rocket from it.
While these futuristic propulsion systems seem like something out of science fiction, ancient alien theorists believe past civilizations possessed these same advanced technologies.
They point to a number of cultural myths that describe sky people coming to Earth in fire-breathing dragons, or metallic-looking machines as proof of extraterrestrial visitation.
In my mind, legends and myths are based on something real.
And while they've been "mythified" and exaggerated in many cases, in my mind, some core of truth here in that people really were flying in airships in ancient times just like we do today.
But might these ancient airships have reached Earth using the same type of propulsion systems we use today? The answer may be found deep in the Indian subcontinent.
India-- over 1.
1 billion people crowd its modern cities and rural townships, speaking hundreds of languages, and practicing a number of different religions.
India is considered one of the oldest civilizations with settlements dating back over 11,000 years.
It is also home to several of the oldest records of ancient technologies.
Ancient Sanskrit text dating back as far as 6000 BC, describing varying but vivid detail flying machines called "vimanas.
" Vimanas are airplanes, and they are powered by some jet engines.
This seems to be true because all the description of the flight behavior "elephants ran away in panic.
Americans scream that they oppose war, debt, and tyranny, but do you see any protests?
Glug. No it isn’t.
