Arizona and The Divine Rights Of Kings and Nazis

With support from conservatives, the Tea Party, and the National Socialist Nazi Party, Arizona is at it again with it’s culture preservation in eliminating ethnic studies programs with House Bill 2281.  I find this new piece of legislation fascinating in the light of what it does and how the state functions. One of the most powerful tools a state has is a state mandated education. This allows a state to ensure that all citizens are indoctrinated in concepts such as “The Divine Rights Of Kings” as in a Monarchy or “The will of the people” in a Democracy. To question the “God given right” of the state to maintain it’s rule over your life is damning to the control it holds over the people.  It is easier for Pharaoh to teach his citizens that he is a god than to justify his abuse of power. Just as a democracy claims support by a majority for it’s aggressions upon a minority.

The attack on culture studies can be looked at by many perspectives. One could claim it is racist. One could claim it restricts the choice and preference of the individual to study what they choose to study. Both of those would most likely have strong arguments to support them, I would likely agree and love to hear them.  I however wish to take this new legislation and compare it to the nature of the state to show why something like this is not really shocking and should be vehemently opposed.

Rothbard addressed the culture aspects in his book For a New Liberty:

One of the most common uses of compulsory public schooling has been to oppress and cripple national ethnic and linguistic minorities or colonized peoples — to force them to abandon their own language and culture on behalf of the language and culture of the ruling groups. The English in Ireland and Quebec, and nations throughout Central and Eastern Europe and in Asia — all dragooned their national minorities into the public schools run by their masters. One of the most potent stimuli for discontent and rebellion by these oppressed peoples was the desire to rescue their language and heritage from the weapon of public schools wielded by their oppressors.

- Murray Rothbard

Cultures must be homogenized by the state, as well as the thoughts of the students. The student must be indoctrinated so that thought is uniformly accepting of the structure, presence and nature of the state. Which brings us to the interesting addition of the phrase in the bill that would ban any class that would “Promote the overthrow of the U.S. government.”  This seems to be a fear for backlash of other cultures and races simply teaching the truth that may lead to such a thing, not necessarily directed to the Agorists, Anarchists, or others of my personal persuasion.  This show’s the  State in it’s attempt to preserve it’s legitimacy against views it does not want citizens to be educated or knowledgeable in.

Rothbard addressed this with a quote from Isabel Paterson:

Educational texts are necessarily selective, in subject matter, language, and point of view. Where teaching is conducted by private schools, there will be a considerable variation in different schools; the parents must judge what they want their children taught, by the curriculum offered . . . . Nowhere will there be any inducement to teach the “supremacy of the state as a compulsory philosophy.” But every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine [p. 131] of state supremacy sooner or later, whether as the divine right of kings, or the “will of the people” in “democracy.” Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property, and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey.

A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state.

Arizona is the totalitarian state we have all feared.

Considering who supports what is happening in Arizona we should be afraid: Neo-Nazis to March Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona

Liberty Tax Service Stays Online During Busy Tax Season with Barracuda Load Balancer.(Company overview)

Network Weekly News April 20, 2009 Barracuda Networks Inc., the worldwide leader in content security appliances, announced that Liberty Tax Service, the nation’s fastest growing international tax service headquartered in Virginia Beach, Va., relies on the availability and performance of a clustered pair of Barracuda Load Balancer 640 models to ensure that its more than three million daily visitors have quick access to the company’s eight Web sites.

“We cannot have downtime during tax season,” said Jeff Sharp, director of network and communications for Liberty Tax Service. “It is paramount that we have a load-balancing solution with high availability that can manage multiple sites.” Liberty Tax Service provides computerized income tax preparation, electronic filing, refund loans, and online filing through eSmart Tax (www.esmarttax.com) for its retail and online customers. For those opting to turn the task over to an experienced tax preparer, franchise owners are available and complete their returns and day-to-day business via Liberty Tax Service’s extranet. here liberty tax service

Each year, Liberty Tax Service sees the number of online filings increase nearly 20 percent as more individuals opt to file their tax returns online. The amount of traffic to the Liberty Tax Service Web sites has steadily increased, as more individuals visit for information, tips, as well as to search for a local office. Traffic during tax season, January 1 to April 15, to each of the eight Web sites operated by Liberty Tax Service ranges from one million to three million connections per day.

“Like Liberty Tax Service, our aim is to offer solutions that are affordable and easy to use,” said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks. “With the Barracuda Load Balancer, we have enabled high performance application delivery at a fraction of the cost and complexity of incumbent solutions.” Liberty Tax Service displaces Radware for a more cost-effective, reliable solution Liberty Tax Service’s previous load-balancing solution from Radware proved to be more problematic than problem-solving, and the impending addition of 500 new franchise offices in 2010 pushed the envelope for a replacement load-balancing solution. Liberty Tax Service worked with its longstanding full-service automation integration partner, Electronic Systems Inc., to obtain a Barracuda Load Balancer 640 for evaluation. go to web site liberty tax service

“We got to a point where we’d maxed out the capacity of our Radware solution,” said Sharp. “It was very expensive to maintain and without a complete re-write of code, I wasn’t going to be able to add any more servers in the background. So we decided to get rid of it and start anew.” Within days of deploying the Barracuda Load Balancer, Sharp was thrilled with the time and cost efficiencies.

“Our cost savings were unbelievable,” said Sharp. “With Radware, we paid $180,000 which included lots of complex settings we didn’t need and would never use. We also spent weeks and $30,000-to-$40,000 in consultant fees to get it set up, and it never worked right. Barracuda Networks has simplified everything; we set up both boxes ourselves in four hours, and the solution works great for a fraction of what the Radware solution cost. The difference was astronomical.”

    Come on now, the Tea party is, in theory at least, a small government movement and as such all the horrible things going down in Arizona are considered complete shit by all of my friends in the Tea party movement. Don't damn the Tea parties just some retarded conservatives don't have a clue on what they mean and join for stupid reasons

    "It is easier for Pharaoh to teach his citizens that he is a god than to justify his abuse of power."That's why totalitarian states are either founded upon a pseudo-religion of a cult of personality (North Korea) or justify their actions around religious dogma (Iran or Christian regimes before the European enlightenment).
