“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.” -Napoleon Bonaparte Studying history helps to understand how governments use federal agencies, police departments, and courts to perpetuate illegal witch hunts for political causes. Let’s look at the 6 million Jews that the German government killed in Europe. People forget that it was not renegades who caused the Holocaust. Instead, it was the politicians and the courts. The parallels between the successful government campaigns of the Nazis in World War II and today’s DWI ... Read More »

Involuntary Intoxication Reality: “I no longer knew what was real and what wasn’t. The lines between reality and delusion had become so blurred.” ― A.B. Shepherd, The Beacon This is what has happened to judges in courts across Texas when it comes to DWI charges. The purpose of the penal code is to punish crime and thereby deter others from committing the same crime. Most crimes involve people making bad moral choices, choices that hurt others. Most crimes involve intent ... Read More »

Another TSA Video To Make Your Blood Boil This video demonstrates the abuse of power that we as an advanced society must study and address. In 1971, Philip Zimbardo picked 24 Stanford University students & had them role-play a simulated prisoner/guard experiment over six days. Those results simulate what this TSA video shows the propensity for- psychological abuse.   For example, it is inexcusable that all the way up the chain of command in this video the TSA employees were ...

Man gets arrested for warning drivers about upcoming speed traps. He is also against how the speed traps are being enforced. Cops hiding behind signs and jetting out weaving in and out of traffic to catch the speeders is more dangerous than most of the speeding driving they are pursuing. My two cents: this is a free country, he has a right to protest, and he makes a good point. I realize most cities now earn a necessary part of ... Read More »

Authoritarian states permit the alteration of truth; “to rewrite history retrospectively; to distort the news, suppress the true, add the false. Propaganda is substituted for information. In fact, in such a country you are not a citizen possessor of rights but a subject, and as such you owe to the State fanatical loyalty and supine obedience.” Bottom line, our law enforcement, district attorneys and judges have succumb to the propaganda machine of MADD politics. What happens then? It is already ... Read More »

It is not surprising that every year doctors diagnose 1.4 million Americans with cancer. This is the the second leading cause of death next to heart disease. It should be surprising that there are also approximately 1.4 million DWI/DUI arrests (1 of every 139 license drivers) in the country a year. This is with 16,685 alcohol related fatalities in 2005. “Alcohol related” fatalities means at least one driver or non-occupant involved in the crash having a blood alcohol concentration of ...

Legislatures, representatives of the people, write the laws NOT prosecutors. Each law is a result of a complex process. This process involves everything from public hearings, citizen and lobbyist input to sworn testimony. Penal code statutes have punishment ranges for a reason. We should not treat everyone the same when it comes to the same offense. Prosecutors are circumventing the laws by substituting their own punishment ranges in the form of “office policies” rather than considering the full range of ... Read More »

The “science” in field sobriety tests for DWI is laughable. Judge Daryl Coffey of County Criminal Court number 8, in Tarrant County, Texas once remarked to me that all a prosecutor need only mention the three letters “DWI” at least 15 times during trial to win a DWI case. It is this type of environment that has allowed history to repeat itself. All we have to do is look back to the Salem Witch Hunt trials of 1692. There, 19 ... Read More »

Read the Article here! The Science of Fear & Field Sobriety Tests: Fear is not just mental. It is physical and involuntary. It causes one to lose normal mental and physical faculties. The field sobriety tests were developed in a vacuum. The greatest travesty NHTSA perpetuates on our citizenry is the application of these nonscientific tests. This is because these are tests without any proper scientific consideration to fear. Here is the article I wrote, very relevant for anyone arrested ... Read More »

Mass hysteria is a form of groupthink, in which several people with something in common begin to think in the same way. In mass hysteria, the group members all develop a common fear that often spirals into a panic. The group members feed off each other’s emotional reactions, causing the panic to escalate. Mass hysteria is linked to some riots, witch hunts and other events. (about.com) DWI has turned into a sociological mass hysteria. Our highways blare out “Drink. Drive. ... Read More »
