— LauraW When the stated policy of a government agency is to regulate an industry, but the unstated, *actual* policy is to destroy that industry, personal livelihoods must die to satisfy the whims of bureaucrats.
In a decade-long battle, Yacubian was thwarted at every turn. When he was ready to show that the NOAA's equipment was so unreliable it couldn't prove he had been in a forbidden area, his expert witness -- a respected Massachusetts Environmental Police officer -- came under pressure and asked to be excused from testifying. Yacubian lost his case, his permits, his boat and his income.When Yacubian asked for a discretionary appeal -- inside the agency -- he was refused, and had to make to make a costly appeal to a federal court. He won the appeal, and the federal judge ordered his vessel permit and operator permit restored, and sent the case back to the NOAA for reworking according to his instructions. The NOAA ignored the federal judge, withheld Yacubian's permits and went through the same motions and same decision as before.
Yacubian's attorney's fees mounted to more than $250,000, and he tried to sell his boat and permits, worth nearly a million dollars. The NOAA blocked the sale three times by refusing to release the permits -- without which the boat was unsalable. Without an income and out of resources, in July 2005 Yacubian gave up and settled with the NOAA. The agency got everything, and he got less than half the boat's sale price.
It just so happens, in an odd bit of good fortune for the NOAA, that the money corruptly stolen from the NOAA's victims is then used to furnish lavish party boat cruises for NOAA employees and their kin. Go figure! Who coulda seen that coming, right?
So. That's nice. For them. I don't see any conflict of interest here. Only justice.
Yep.

EPA basically decreed by edict no proof that a ranch in iowa had "endangered plants" on it....
was a working hobby farm....
ERA bankrupted 'em family fought hired an ISU botny survey whole 9 yards....was probably a seed carried by a fox or plated there by EPA....
long story short the plant was 2 years dead, family broke EPA shrugged a developer whose husband is epa bought the ranch at fire rate prices and made condos....
I'm serious if Romney wants to he can destroy the civil service in a year.

Forgive, me I was unaware that was that confusing. I was once an idealist who believed in the possible limitation of Federal Regulatory agencies to "acceptable" limits. I am not ashamed to admit this at various time I have believed in: Santa, the Easter bunny, love at first sight, I can explain, it won't happen again, no no I thought it was you, hey Sven you can take one drink, and a slew of other if not outright lies at least partial delusions.
Nothing prepared me for what I discovered about Feds gone wild, and this was before Bush the elder gave the precedent for Law Enforcement and regulation to be predatorial for profit.
The punctuation is acceptable now yes?

Didn't the Founding Fathers fight these same people once before? Perhaps it is time to reflect on how they won their fight against such tyranny and despotism. I hope their methods will not become necessary again but it's not looking too promising for the freedom loving people in our nation. If tyrants are determined to be tyrants unless stopped,then what choice do freedom loving people have of remaining free but to stop the tyrants? When those that are charged with upholding the law abuse their power and rape the people,then very few options are left open to prevent a Dictatorship from becoming a reality.

He was hailed by the Coast Guard, so the claim that NOAA's ability to locate his whereabouts accurately is specious. In 1998 I had good enough GPS to know where I was on the water and the Coast Guard damn sure did.
The scallop fishery is not his "family farm", it's the Commons, and the commons is a tragedy in nearly every fishery in the world.
Has NOAA become a "money grubbing whore"? (thank you, Departed), maybe. It's news to me. Of course Brown and Frank will mouthe reassuring words, you have to say nice things about commercial fishermen in MA. I always thought that NOAA played things down the middle, but asset forfeiture is a deadly temptation.
All of that notwithstanding, this fisherman's defense is "the police officer's radar gun is defective", which doesn't hold seawater in this case. He was surely fishing in a restricted area. Areas don't get restricted to please bureaucrats, bureaucrats get pressure from the Browns and Franks. Fisheries are collapsing everywhere from overharvest and exclusion zones are necessary for the next generations.

The key is getting rid of TWO things...
1. The idea of Sovereign Immunity. It flies in the face of the ideal that the Government belongs to the People... as the Government MUST be held accountable for its own laws.
2. The Idea that a public servent cannot be held PERSONALY responsible for their actions... if the Judge could have slapped the Person in charge of this case in Jail for Contempt? They might have paid attention to his ruling... all the Judge could do was FINE the Government... which we the taxpayer then pays...

NOAA was formed as a Weather Service.
It's job was to study the weather, and warn people about storms.
It should never have been given the power to police....anything.
And now, the agency is so badly infested with leftist leaches.....that it has become a willing co-conspirator in the AGW hoax.
As well as being a tyrannical predator upon the very people it is supposed to be helping.

There is no incentive for government employees to restrain themselves. If they get away with pushing their authority beyond its actual limits, yay for them - they're more powerful. If they get slapped down then they pay restitution - with taxpayer dollars. They can't lose unless they go so far as to do something they could be prosecuted for (I don;t understand why the federal judge in this case didn't hold NOAA employees in contempt for ignoring his ruling).
I would propose altering the law, making government employees personally liable in the event that it is ruled that they acted beyond the authority of their office. Then they would have to pay a boatload for insurance and worry about being sued all the time, just like the rest of us in the real world.

As I rant here often, we need a multiple non-leftist channels. Something of a different tone and flavor from Fox. The left has dozens of flavors to choose from, From the The View-Ellen-PBS-MSNBC-CNN same core info and views just different flavors attracting and influencing different personality types.
Liberty and cultural values are an information war, and we need to stop surrendering.

Then, almost without fail, the park supervisors are complete cocksuckers who go out of their way to 1) be cocksuckers 2) actively avoid anything that may make them lift a finger.
They wonder why their funding is down... Gee, I dunno... I mean, they are so freakin' inspiring and all. Being an outdoorsy-type, I greatly appreciate the state parks (their natural beauty), but the leaches who work there are TOTALLY fucking it up!!! The "leaders" at the headquarters are just as bad. Normally, I am all love and peace (seriously!), but I hate hate HATE these wastes of humanity, and I know it is just another example of how govt-run agencies are beyond pathetic.

I think the innerwebs and conservative talk radio has countered much of the leftist message. Remember 2010.

Taking a direct shot at the leaders of OPSEC, an Obama campaign official lambasted the group's accusations about national security leaks this morning. “No one in this group is in a position to speak with any authority on these issues and on what impact these leaks might have," said the official, speaking on background, "and it’s clear they’ve resorted to making things up for purely political reasons.”
What a cowardly bunch of fuckwits in this administration. From the top down.

The hell? No one in this group OF FORMER NAVY SEALS AND OTHER MILITARY SPECIAL FORCES "is in a position to speak with any authority on these issues...?" Excuse me?

This guy is lucky he came away with anything at all. Thousands of other people didn't and had their lives and life savings completely destroyed by these government thugs.
All these government agencies need a major housecleaning, and a LOT of Federal employees need to spend the rest of their lives in Federal prison.

Or maybe he needs to have a staff of people to make sure he knows about these things so he can issue Executive Orders, like Barky does (at which point the Dems can affirm that they suddenly realized that EOs are not a good thing.)

153....What a cowardly bunch of fuckwits in this administration. From the top down.
I think they are intentionally trying to piss us off, Jane.
Barky started out as an...Agitator.
It's his only talent.
He worked for ACORN, training others on how to whip up people's emotions.
He was never an "organizer"...like they try to say.
Barky was an Agitator.
And he still is.

Beg your pardons if this has already been addressed, but WTF is an "environmental police officer"?
Massachusetts version of Fish & Game warden, I believe.

I don't think this means what you think it means. Federal Prisons are nothing more than country clubs. Other than the shame, most would rather go to a Federal Prison.

And as I've said before, the dems will light any fuse they think will create chaos. They need chaos. It's the only re-election strategy they'll have in two months.

No I don't think we do. I know I don't not anymore. The US is going to reduce the forces a 1/3d and still go. At what point do we just hold a lottery and send guys over there to be ritually killed?
Everybody is looking for a free lunch with the military. Barack has us over there doing nothing useful for the blood we're shedding. That is not partisan hyperbole that is fact.
I am betting the right has been taught by the media and Barack that we could lose whole companies and they'd palace guard his ass.
Leave, leave a note in Pashtun and Farsi-next time it is just FAE and napalm....
Barack is never held to account for anything.

Barky loves fucking with the SEALs for political purposes. He thinks it makes him look tough. He fucked them over in the Somali pirate fiasco, not allowing them to do jack shit until the commander on the ground finally took things into his own hands and ended the ordeal (with nothing but obstacles coming from the White House and a court martial if anything had gone wrong). Barky kept putting off the OBL kill and tried to make sure that any problems would be borne by the SEALs on the ground. Barky let that idiotic helicopter transport of those same SEALs take place weeks after, the crash of which then caused about half the number of SEAL fatalities through the whole Viet Nam war. And now the Dog-Eater and his traitorous cronies are going after the SEALs because in order to defend the White House's clearly treasonous acts of leaking national security information in order to gain some political edge (so that Barky can wreak more damage on America). ... and then there were the Gitmo interrogators whose pictures and information were released to terrorist attorneys and the press ... and on and on.
Nothing new. This is the cowardly, America-hating, treasonous administration that it always was using the same projection that it always has. It won't stop until some of them are truly held to account.

Honestly, I think the FDA does more good than harm. Yeah they could be better but I woudn't propose doing away with it.

A few years ago, in northern Ohio FDA were hitting farm coops for not letting their undercovers in and not selling them milk; and using obscure Amish religious rules to force them to give undercovers milk so they could raid the entire commune with SWAT and seize their cattle and grain supplies.
