Fences are like cages, and cages make good neighbors too, especially for ex-sheriflf Michael Burgess of Custer County Oklahoma. He had a big favor-trading operation going on for years. He would first deprive people of their liberty, their contact with outside people and prevent creature comforts like good food, pillows or toilet paper from getting to the captives in his jail. When the whining and complaining got insistent enough, he would relax some of his jail rules---for a price. Last year, however, some of his trading buddies got out of his jail and got him for 36 sex crimes. It only took his victims 3.5 years of complaining about this abuse to get the federal government to remove this parasite from power.

Sometimes a good fence can be a slab of bulletproof glass with a shouting-hole in it at your local Texaco mini-mart. (See: "eight-cop rape-ring accidentally exposed" on wwv.jamesbauhaus.org) Other times, a good fence is a place to leave people near a nuthouse, especially if you keep forgetting the commitment papers and the administrators refuse to open the motorized gate. Just shackle them to the gate so nobody can open it! (See: "cops hogtie, abandon ladies")

One memorable fence was in the showering-pen underneath the super max at McAlester, OK. It didn't stop a barrage of wash-cloths from slopping soapy water on a troop of voyeuristic bigwigs from the capitol, but it did stop the tours through the shower while we were using it. (See: crispy stymies civil rights lawyers for 25 years!)

In 2002, it would have been nice to have a fence in the sky. This may have prevented power-crazed, flying, anti-drug cops from getting to close to innocent civilians doing God's work. (See: CIA/Peru kills missionary and her daughter")

I could have used a more secure fence early one morning in the barn when my son asked me to explain how a jury could convict me on circumstantial evidence. I'd just put the calf off of its mother and locked it in the adjacent pen. Before sitting down to milk Bessie, I sought to empty my bladder in a pile of used straw in the corner. While in the midst of a great whiz, the calf somehow got loose and made a bee line for the cow's teat. As it rushed by me I managed to snatch up its tail with my free hand. A short struggle ensued as the calf tried to drag me along with it and I tried to free up my other hand to better keep the calf from getting all the milk. As this tug of war was in progress, my wife appeared at the entrance to announce that breakfast was ready. The expression on her face as she witnessed our tableau demonstrated precisely how easily one can get declared guilty of atrocious crimes on nothing more substantial than an over-imaginative mind viewing mere circumstantial evidence.

As I was saying, good fences make good neighbors, and probably the best, most valuable fence is the social one that keeps the police from murdering too many citizens. Lately you can se that this fence is breaking down. Plus, cops are pushing the envelope, demonstrating to everyone how they can maim and murder citizens and get completely away with it. E.g. on "cops" 20th anniversary show,broadcast 4-5-08, run-amok cops proudly show themselves killing a grandmother and shackling her "resisting" corpse before noticing they'd murdered her. Also, on ABC news, NBC news and on Canadian television, on 3-20-08, 9-26-08 and a week later, respectively, cops are shown simply driving their cop cars into pedestrian targets! Yes, cops are now so extremely arrogant that they are actively training citizens to accept broken legs and bashing off the hoods and windshields of their cop cars on the mere suspicion of having committed a crime. (See: "stealth rights robbery.") One cop even had the gall to drive his cop car through a tenement playground, complete with children playing, in his zeal to chase and crash into a target. The new law is, if you run from a cop in his copcar he will run you down for refusing his verbal demands shouted at you over his megaphone. It is now a crime to try to be left in peace, without cop-intrusion.

Social fences are breaking down everywhere, and the persons most affected by this phenomenon are watching vacuously as it occurs. These fences aren't going to fix themselves! People see this process working, Vet they continue to hid behind activists, praying that the lord save them from being dragged off to the cops torture/slow-death chambers. They think they'll be safe by just keeping their heads down and pretending that their neighbors deserved to be dragged off in the night by government thugs. Other citizens try to camouflage themselves as cops, getting as close to them as possible, trying for their lives to be friends with the cops, even to the point of trading their fellow neighbors to the cops in order to curry favor and make separate, special deals with the cops.

These strategies didn't work for the Jews, and they won't work for you. When the cops finish dragging off everyone you sold to them, they will come back for you. The worse way to learn law is the most common way: By trial and error after being abducted into a dim, empty cage. Your innocence is no defense; it is a handicap! The best defense is to learn their "legal" tricks and traps before you get targeted. This is why I wrote "The Innocent's guide to avoiding false conviction." It details exactly how the government and its media sycophants work together to keep the citizens stampeding around in circles, rushing madly away from every type of threat it can imagine or concoct. When you get tired of hiding or running in circles, and you've finally gotten your fill of dope, hedonism and ignorance, you might want to get off your knees and help rebuild the fence that once kept government boots oft our necks.

Also, if you're outraged about the sonny bush cabal's recent theft of our $850 billion, you may want to contrast what the governments TV new-stalkers were selling you about and what I wrote about it in "bail the rich, screw the poor!" What they omit is the most important.

When a flagrantly corrupt government can operate for eight years, lying their teeth black and laughing at us while they send their trained murder-monkeys to slaughter and nation-rob with impunity in our name, they dodge all possibility of punishment, all the fences are down. This is amply demonstrated in "secret agenda of the U.S. millionaires club," "smart society vs. greedy society." "politicians selling immigration" and "how politicians juke justice." How to fix these fences is in "electronic voting: the Ferrari of citizen empowerment." Rule by the super-rich is not what we want. The only protection we had was the constitutional fence. WE need to get it mended quickly, before the super-rich can connive their ways back into power. You can see them right now, mending their '`republican" (merchant-plutocrat) fences. No longer are they arrogant "deciders." Now they have suddenly expunged a demon and thus have miraculously rehabilitated their entire party apparatchik in doing so. Now they are very polite, agreeable, pleasant, reasonable. And they want to "share power" (Join forces) and "reach across the aisle" (Deal in some cunning, mutually-beneficial vote-trading.)

Right this minute they are training Barack Obama to be their next Clarence Thomas. He is receiving intensive lessons on how to go along to get along. Next-President Obama is getting schooled on how to sell out without appearing to do so. He is learning that he gets to be President only as long as the shadow government deigns to let him be President. He's learning that it is not really all that important that a secret torture/murder facility in Cuba gets shut down. He's being told that there are all kinds of excuses why we should keep attacking Iraq. He's even getting plenty of tutoring on why we need to attack Iran, continue to mass-murder peasants in Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Guatemala, and spray them all with poisons from the sky. He's being told why we still can't be allowed to see the records of the Warren Commission on the Kennedy Assassination (because Arlen Spector, concoctor of the magic bullet theory, hasn't died yet.) Some of our citizen fences need to be bebuilt. Many government fences against citizen oversight and quality control need to be torn down. You can eigher help fix the problem, or you can eventuall wish you had helped fix the problem of policing run amok government. Your choice.

Fences don't have to be material. Some of the most effective fences are the personal ones emplace to block access to public "servants." Take, for example, the unseen persons who screen politicians' audiences. The goal is good publicity photo-footage by maximizing the "Rah-Rah-Yea!" while excluding the "Boo! Hiss!"

This complicated process of fencing out detractors and fencing in the sycophants broke down recently (12-12-08). and we were allowed to see it because it was comical, and because the politician who caused it is much less powerful than before. I speak of Sonny Bush's excellent adventure, which is finally coming to an end. He went to Iraq to sign a 3-year war extension contract that he hopes will keep his war-profiteering operation running long after he and his cabal are out of power. To make this hated occupation of Iraq by the U.S. mass-murder machine look like more than just an agreement between master and puppet gov't, a few tame journalists were let in to sell it to the victims. No citizen-victims were allowed near the fence, but one Iraqi journalist suddenly became un-domesticated. He threw two shoes at the biggest mass-murderer of the 21st century before being subdued by Bush's concealed thugs and dragged away for secret, prolonged castration.

The amusing part was Bush ducking, twice, the ineffectively thrown shoes. His face, between and after the throws, reminded me of a squirrel in my yard when it faced-off with a cat. Bush, hiding behind his speechifying lectern, was like the squirrel, parked at the base of a bushy tree. The cat, with much patience, pretended no interest, in order to sucker the squirrel within leaping range. The squirrel. knowing it was the superior tree climber, barked at the cat and made jerky, feinting movements, as if saving, "Come on, cat! Come chase me up this tree! See where it gets you!"

SonnyBush, ducking and dodging, holding on to that lectern, while his bright, questing eyes locked with the threat. seemed to say, like the squirrel, "Hey! Raggy! Run out of shoes already? Throw something else! Better yet, chase up here to get me! See how that works out for you!"

The president's thugs were very polite to the man, as could be seen when the editors allowed us to see footage of him being dragged down and dog-piled by secret cops: not a bit like the common footage of mobs of street cops seen fighting each other for their chance to kick, beat and pummel ordinary U. S. criminals.

What we didn't get to see, however, is Bush's later visit to the cage holding the shoe-flinger. If there had been cameras allowed there. Bush would be heard saying something like, "Hey! Raggy! How you like those electrodes?"

Yes, fences are of many different types and designs. They can be as simple as a bolt chaining you to the floor, as subtle as tape of atrocities left on the cutting room floor, or as unnoticeable as the gatekeepers loitering about the entrance to a "public" meeting. The trick to fences, however, is keeping them out of your mind, and in helping other minds see and defeat them.

Defeating fences increases freedom.
