repeat coming up in a few minutes

[Anti Federalist]

Talked about drug laws, prostitution, the EPA ruining people, ridiculous regulations, and just a bunch of other BS stuff that is illegal.

And that's just the stuff you know about.

There are literally millions of pages of laws, rules, codes, regulations, edicts and proclamations on the books right now.

There is no way any human being can know all of them, and not run afoul of some of them.

Nobody has paid it any mind in the past, because to enforce them, you would have to watch people 24/7.

That is now changing, as the surveillance grid comes online.

yeah, there was some guy making that very point, how we are all breaking multiple laws every day that we don't even know about, and you can be nailed at any time for it. I've heard somewhere before that the average person commits 3 felonies a day, don't know if that is true or not.

About the special in general, I think it contains some clips from previous Stossel specials, but as a whole it is brand new with some new material probably.

[Beorn]

VA farmer Joel Salatin is on!

[Restore America Now]

Hoping that the Stossel guy on Pirate Bay will have this up.

[jct74]

just had a long segment on recording the police. I've seen almost all those clips on RPF already. showed Pete Eyre from Motorhome Diaries getting harassed by police in his motorhome. there was also a segment on raw milk earlier.

talking to LEAP officer now, showing that clip of Columbia cops breaking down door, shooting dog.

Three Felonies a Day is the story of how citizens from all walks of life—doctors, accountants, businessmen, political activists, and others—have found themselves the targets of federal prosecutions, despite sensibly believing that they did nothing wrong, broke no laws, and harmed not a single person. From the perspective of both a legal practitioner who has represented the wrongfully-accused, and of a legal observer who has written about these trends for the past four decades, Three Felonies a Day brings home how individual liberty is threatened by zealous crusades from the Department of Justice. Even the most intelligent and informed citizen (including lawyers and judges, for that matter) cannot predict with any reasonable assurance whether a wide range of seemingly ordinary activities might be regarded by federal prosecutors as felonies.

Thanks for the vid! Oh, the glories of the constitutional government! Rule of law and justice for all! /sarcasm.

[oyarde]

Only question I have is the one guy who had been selling lobster tails for thirteen years and the feds put him away for six years out of a more than eight year sentence ,for lobster being in bags and not boxes. What kind of prosecutor or judge would take that , and give that ? I would take that as a personal declaration of war on me by them and would have to continually retaliate until the end of time , just out of principle.

Feds have been handing down draconian sentences like that in the commercial fishing world for years now.

A small, unrepresented political minority that is easy to shove around, and also fiercely independent, so their will needed to be broken.

"You don't have to worry if you don't break the law"

You are a criminal, it's just at this time the government is allowing you to walk free.

That lobbyist deserves to be shipped off to Somalia.

That was a terrific special! Anyone running across this thread who hasn't seen it yet really should take the time to.

And, is it just me, or is Stossel becoming even *more* libertarian now that he knows he has to take up the slack at the network from the firing of The Judge also?

Stossel has always been solidly libertarian. I've never had a problem with any of his reports. He plays the devil's advocate when interviewing people he agrees with, but it's obvious those aren't his views

[smartguy911]

Highly recommend this video. Must watch

[frodus24]

WOW! Great show by Stossel!

[arisenagain]

It is pretty sickening what corporations and government have done. This is along the same lines of Ron Paul's warnings. We need to push back NOW!

[BuddyRey]

This one deserves a bump!

[BamaAla]

This one deserves a bump!

Right on. I tivo'd it and just watched it; that was one of his better pieces (in my opinion.)

I love how that lady prosecutor straight up said that she would compromise those escort's freedom for a demonstrably incorrect ideal and the Bush guy outright lying.

WOW one of his best shows! Thank you for the link!

With every new law or regulation a new government parasite is born. Sometimes multiple parasites; often whole litters called departments.

[Keith and stuff]

VA farmer Joel Salatin is on!

Yeah, that was great. He gave a 70 minute speech at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum on Saturday. He was very entertaining and informative.

[Danke]

So sad. People don't know how to fight this shit. These laws don't apply to people involved in the private sector.

[sidewalk_pounder]

We're all very fortunate that libertarian-minded John Stossel is on the job and giving favorable coverage to Ron Paul at every opportunity. One of his best recent videos is here: http://youtu.be/X1i2GyZB8Rs (Difference Between Streamlining the Military and Isolationism).

[Sola_Fide]

That was great.

Yeah, I saw it live, and BOTH of those self-righteous assholes had me barking at the TV in frustration... which is pretty much usually only reserved for the GOP debates, lol.

The LEAP guy was talking about dogs and kids getting killed and innocent people getting terrorized on accident, and the Czar rationalized it based on outright lies. And then that fucking prosecutor who wants to utilize the state to "save" the sex worker girls by LOCKING THEM UP IN CAGES? srs? fuck off (...literally, go get laid or something and get your statist dong out of everyone else's business... the only thing you want to "save" is your shitty ass job and perception of yourself and all your righteousness).

[Barrex]

Really great show. Thanks for sharing.

[Keith and stuff]

I think it is awesome that two of the people featured in the video are New Hampshire activists that moved to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project.

Ademo, the founder of Cop Block https://www.facebook.com/CopBlock
Pete, the founder of Motorhome Diaries and one of the leaders of CopBlock https://www.facebook.com/MotorhomeDiaries

Stossel even mentioned that Pete's license plate said New Hampshire.

Joel Salatin said at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum that this special would air 4 times on Fox, which means millions of viewers :) Someone here said 5 times, I beleive that. It's so awesome that Fox is doing this.

It's probably just a ratings test, don't get your hopes up. They've had Stossel for years, if they were going to do anything with him besides sideline him to FBN and a 5 minute thrill on O'Reilly as a punching bag they already would have.

You are likely correct. With 5 showings, they should have some idea of the ratings. I loved the ABC Stossel specials. Stossel has been the most viewed liberty voice on TV for many years. This special really helped him with that crown. He really got the message out to the Fox News crowd.

[Shane Harris]

its a good one but not his best. some of the abc ones are legendary in my book. when he does long specials they are usually really good. like his one on education, and his one on greed, and his one on freeloaders

[QuickZ06]

Thanks for sharing.

[oyarde]

I'm not sure why, but this made me laugh It made me laugh too after I typed it , because I did not mean it quite the way it must sound , but it is the truth , I have a tv on top of the fridge , guess I could have turned that on for her , but did not think of it , I have never used that tv , when I am in the kitchen , I usually look out the window and watch my woodpecker , cardinals , goldfinches & chickadees .

[Romulus]

Just watched the whole thing.... this is a great way to introduce others to a thing called freedom.

[xFiFtyOnE]

I caught part of it, good stuff. Wondering when Stossel will join the Judge and Buchanan in the unemployment line... :rolleyes:
