My Thoughts Leading to the Smith ‘The Great American Panic of 2020’

Typically I make it a point to check up on statistics of submissions to my blogs. The information relating to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 are so fluid in change and unpredictability at this point, I am choosing not to check up on typically reliable Justin Smith.

 

I had a thought come to me as I read Justin’s simultaneous criticism of President Trump’s Big Government solutions and disdain for Dem/MSM hypocrisy for blaming Trump when past Dem pandemic/epidemic solutions fell far short.

 

What was that thought?

 

The jury will be out for some time on the right or wrong of my thought but here it is: President Donald Trump is not a Conservative. ALSO neither is Trump a Leftie/Liberal. Undoubtedly due to the nature of Trump’s billion dollar business, he has some globalist tendencies, but I don’t think he is a Globalist.

 

My emerging sense is Donald Trump is an American in the mold American history would have described as a statesman more than a patriot. As a statesman he makes choices he feels are good for America. That is where the jury is out. Typical Conservatives will always hate solutions that involves the government and the government-spending indulgence. A typical Leftist desires government solutions to transform society into a perceived society of what humanity should look like (even if that means intruding on individual Liberty). In the Conservative/Leftist conflict, Trump gravitates toward Conservatism but that hardly makes him dedicated to Conservative ideals.

 

In my opinion that puts Trump in the position of distrust from both dedicated Conservatives and Left-Wing (actually Marxist) ideologues. President Trump is going to step on everyone’s toes for what he believes is good for America. For my part, I am more pleased than displeased with Trump accomplishments. Yet look for more displeasure from Conservatives if Trump’s government solutions fail more than succeed. Unfortunately the American Left is soooo infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, only utter Trump failure will make the Left pleased … EVEN IF THAT FAILURE IS A RUINED AMERICA.

 

Below is Justin Smith questioning President government path for a Coronavirus hampered economy yet rooting for Trump election victories because the alternative is Dem Party Marxism.

The Great American Panic of 2020

Exploiting COVID-19 Fears – Don’t Allow America to Be Exploited By Fear

 

By Justin O. Smith

Sent  3/13/2020 2:46 AM

 

Deep in the throes of the Great American Panic of 2020, someone please dip me deep in Shinola and call me a greased pig, if I should ever fall into the miserable weepy, hysteria that is not only coming from the media, but now from the President’s office, and too many corners of the general public. It’s almost as if President Trump feels compelled to address the COVID-19 like a Democrat, as he capitulated, after stating the virus wasn’t that bad, and this only adds to the panic, a panic that has been facilitated and manufactured by the media and President Trump’s political enemies, who would love nothing better than to see the U.S. economy crash and end Trump’s presidency, while also opening one more door for limiting individual liberty in America.

 

In a normal flu season, an average of 36,000 Americans die of the flu, but according to the CDC, ninety percent of those are over the age of sixty-five, and out of 35.5 million cases for the flu season of 2018 to 2019, there were 34,000 deaths. One should recall that between 2009 and 2010, some 17,000 Americans died from Swine Flu, and America wasn’t throwing a trillion dollars at it, in the manner President Trump now proposes doing with COVID-19, very similar to any other Democrat, as he wants to temporarily suspend the payroll tax without cutting any spending.

 

If President Trump wants to throw government money after a problem, he should focus on getting pharmaceutical manufacturing centers up and running here in America, so we are not dependent on China for life-saving medicines. For that matter, there are numerous critical components currently manufactured in China that we need, but they are no longer manufactured here (an article for another day).

 

Trump’s proposed tax break would essentially disburse a trillion dollars in stimulus, in order to stop an economic crisis in the making, if it lasts through the end of the year. It would push the already high federal budget deficit to unprecedented levels, close to $2 trillion, and it would not really help anyone, nor would it address the actual underlying problems with the economy or any health issues. Essentially, it will fail to be of any positive benefit to the American people, and only succeed in placing more burden on the U.S. taxpayers on down the road.

 

More than anything else, Trump’s proposal appears to be a not so veiled attempt to buy Wall Street’s good graces and the election along with it, by providing more stimulus money to the stimulus that has been ongoing since October, as his administration would basically pick more winners and losers in the face of an economy that was falling short prior to this COVID-19 outbreak. He knows if his “great economy” falls, so too might his presidency, which suggests he sells his other so-called “accomplishments” short, too.

 

I’m no big supporter of President Trump, simply over issues tied to our national sovereignty and the Bill of Rights, but still, I don’t want to see him fail and place the country outright in the hands of socialists, communists and Islamofascists. I simply wish he would trust that true conservative ideas would do even better than some of his current flawed policy positions and his lurch more leftwards.

 

COVID-19 now has a death rate that is trending around approximately one percent of all infected, with the latest CDC confirmed death count in America at 36, as of this writing (8:15 P.M. 3-12-2020), and approximately 1215 known cases, according to Lara Logan at Fox News. But good news from South Korea exhibits only ten percent of cases ever require any hospitalization, with less than one percent of their 7300 cases dying from the virus.

 

By no means do I suggest that there aren’t also plenty of good, rational reasons to be concerned. As of this writing, 134,488 people have contracted COVID-19 worldwide and 4,970 of them have died. And of course, we haven’t yet reached the peak of this virus in America yet, which means we have a bit of a ways to go, before we see the light at the end of the tunnel; but, rest assured, the light is there and not too far into the near future, if only people will remain calm and keep with as normal a daily routine as possible.

 

Even here in Murfreesboro, TN, unbelievably, I see people seemingly alarmed, although there are not any cases here, at the moment. Just the other day, I saw a pretty large gal wearing her COVID mask, while she rolled down the candy aisle stocking up on Hershey Bars, Milky Ways and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. But the signs are everywhere, big and small, as one sees many Uber drivers now wearing the same surgical masks.

 

More people die of cancer in America each year than will die from COVID-19, and according to the journal Science News [March 6th], only one in 500 under the age of 40 might die from this new coronavirus. So why all the panic over this virus?

 

Nobody wants to die before their time, but statistically speaking, a person is more likely to be killed in a car crash or murdered in America, than die from contracting COVID-19. People need to stop acting as though the world is coming to an end and that just because the World Health Organization is calling it a “pandemic” it must be death sentence to anyone coming in contact with it.

 

This panic is now moving President Trump to seek a Big Government solution for a problem that will only grow government, because he and his advisors fear the reaction that would result, if he simply urged calm, good hygiene practices and carrying on one’s everyday normal life. Fear has kept Trump from simply urging business as usual in the nation, while urging people to take a minimum of caution, seek testing if one thinks one has been exposed and seek treatment if one contracts it.  And instead, he has flung the door wide open to more draconian measures and an eventual complete shutdown of the nation, without any real good reason.

 

Now, we are also seeing the Republican Party taking advantage of this crisis to make themselves appear as the people’s saviors, as numerous Republicans – (Republicans In Name Only – RINOs) — and the Trump administration too have seemingly found a new found love for government run healthcare with the onset of this “crisis”. On March 2nd, 2020, Robert Kadlec, HHS Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, suggested that part of the efforts aimed at COVID-19 should treat virus patients like disaster victims who will be eligible for federal funds.

 

No amount of government money thrown at this “crisis” non-crisis can make people engage in more commerce and spend more money, if the same government benefactor is stoking fears over this COVID-19 virus. Only an assured message expressing the need for calm and carrying on with our daily routines as usual may stop the continued slide of our economy and regain some semblance of normalcy, in our society, as we all remain watchful and yet not so fearful that we can’t work or feel as if we must hide behind closed doors, in self-imposed quarantines.

 

In response to Kadlec’s proposal on March 10th, Representative Ted Yoho (R-Florida) stated: “You can look at it as socialized medicine. But in the face of an outbreak, a pandemic, what’s your options?”

 

Such an ignorant statement coming from an elected official is part of the problem. Men such as Yoho stoke the sort of fear that adds to the panic and makes matters worse, as people have begun hoarding face masks, food and even toilet paper. Similarly, in many America towns, St Patrick Day parades are being cancelled, along with school closures and basketball game cancellations, all of which add to the fear and in reality give only a little more protection against the virus than simply following good hygiene will provide. And all of this is a disproportionate and self-destructive response to what can only be described as a fairly low level threat.

 

However, Democrats and Republicans alike, the petty tyrants lurking among both parties, learned a great lesson in 2008, from Rahm Emanuel, who stated: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.”

 

Despite the high confidence that the majority of people will never get the virus and the known truth that the largest percentage, the vast majority, of people contracting COVID-19 will survive, too many people and governments across the globe are reacting in extreme fashion.

 

And now, America is seeing the National Guard being activated on March 7th in New York to respond to the outbreak, even though Governor Cuomo presents it as an innocuous and benevolent act for delivering aid, medicine and food as well as cleansing and disinfecting areas affected. He has essentially set up a quarantined area with a radius of one mile from the synagogue at its epicenter, as three schools were also closed down in New Rochelle, and the National Guard was tasked with constructing “Containment centers”. But, people’s movements haven’t been restricted, yet.

 

It’s one thing for our government to take extraordinary measures, in the face of violent situations, as our nation has witnessed in Boston after the Islamist terror bombing, when law enforcement carried out a military style search for the terrorists; in Baltimore when riots resulted in a military lock down of the city, as 1500 National Guardsmen patrolled the streets and residents were placed under a ten o’clock curfew. And it’s quite another thing for the government to take a heavy hand in a matter quite easily handled between any individual and their doctor and a hospital staff, since very nearly any person in America, of average intelligence has sense enough to seek help and treatment from a doctor, if they fall ill; and with this current crisis, one can be most certain that everyone is on alert and staying vigilant from concern for themselves and their families.

 

The government’s overreaction to this crisis should worry everyone, since many intrusive laws are already on the books, just waiting to be invoked by overzealous public health officials; these laws grant nearly unlimited power to quarantine people thought to carry an infectious disease and then bill those people for their own confinement, as was done to those returning from Wuhan, China, even though the quarantines were often excessive and inconsistent with known facts and the epidemiological evidence. This crisis seems to be breeding more government authority, rather than sensible restraint and effective measures.

 

Americans surely should work to flatten the infection rate curve in the country through good hygiene practices and a little well placed caution when in public gatherings, since we don’t want to add to any work overload at local hospitals, but in the meantime, we don’t want to allow the people, who have the effrontery to rule us, any room to cultivate any fears and exploit them to align with their adventures and ends. We must not allow government promises to save us from COVID-19, no matter the level or severity of the threat, to end in unseemly and unnecessary interventions and a government that has grown even larger and more powerful, fat and happy, at the expense of our individual liberty and our freedom suppressed, haggard and threadbare.

Dreams of Prosperity and an Inflated Currency


I actually comprehend little when it comes to economics and numbers. But history is easier to grasp. History informs us a Capitalist based Market System has enabled a Liberty-minded America to prosper more than the fail. While oppositely a Socialist based Government Managed System robs Liberty from citizens stifling individual prosperity and increasing government despotism and oppression.

 

Though I have difficulty grasping the actual effects of a repo (buyback) stocks market on the economy I grasp well that an unrestrained Federal Reserve with near zero checks and balances adds to government despotism and decreases Liberty and Freedom of America’s individual citizens. And so … here are Justin Smith’s thoughts on American Markets and the actions of the Federal Reserve.

Dreams of Prosperity and an Inflated Currency

Congressional Warning Bells Are Silent

 

By Justin O. Smith

Sent  10/8/2019 10:42 PM

 

“Long before we wake up from our dream of prosperity through an inflated currency, our gold, which alone could have kept us from catastrophe, will have vanished and no rate of interest will tempt it to return.” U.S. Senator Elihu Root (R-NY) 1913

 

The Federal Reserve Bank has been a bone of contention, since our nation’s founding. This rogue agency has proven itself to be the evil entity that many early American leaders believed it to be, but not one word on the Fed was forthcoming, when Congresswoman Maxine Waters announced the schedule of the House Financial Services Committee on October 3rd, after the Federal Reserve Bank started transferring billions of dollars into the Repurchasing Market on September 17th. This activated its proposal to hand seventy-five billion dollars a day to unnamed banks on Wall Street, until November 4th, the first such intervention since the 2008 economic collapse and the bailout of financial organizations deemed “too big to fail”; and, it is just one more criminal act in a long line of abuses committed against all America.

 

In 2011, James Felkerson wrote in an academic piece, that from 2007 to 2010, the Fed had funneled an unbelievable $29 trillion in revolving loans to Wall Street and global banks. It did this without any apparent realization and authority from Congress, even though by law both the House Financial Services and the Senate Banking Committees are to be briefed on any such emergency loans, including the names of those banks taking the loans.

 

[Blog Editor: I am not an economist. In trying to make sense of the repo market and reverse-repo market the information muddied rather than bring clarity to my understanding. Since it is my mantra that Dems lie and deceive I become skeptical when the likes of Dem candidates for President (e.g. Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders among others) begin to rail against the buyback repo markets. I’ll start with an explanation of repo markets then add some criticism titles for you to look noting who the critics are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like I said, I am no economist. BUT the tax issue seems less about taxpayers funds and more about banks and corporations taking advantage of tax breaks to expand money returns which may or may not blow up DEPENDING on the security controls of the money-printing Federal Reserve. Not being an economist means my take could be entirely off basis.]

 

These Big Banks and corporations are taking this “free” taxpayer dollars and buying back stocks in their own companies, rather than risk investment in productive investments, which creates an illusion of economic growth. The purchases give companies the appearance of being more profitable than they actually are, even though their earnings have remained stagnant. And it is the Fed’s perverse incentives that have given rise to this debt-dependent speculative system that allows companies to pocket their profits, while at the same time, they socialize their losses and pass them along to the taxpayer, ‘We the People’.

 

In 1832, President Andrew Jackson, extremely antagonistic towards the Bank of the United States, stated: “Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching You for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin [a] thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, I will rout you out.” [Bold-Italics Blog Editor’s]

 

We are currently witnessing a continuation of the malinvestments that led to the 2008 economic collapse and massive loans combined with another huge expansion of credit. When banking institutes issue huge credit lines, any future economic collapse is proportional to that amount of outstanding credit.

 

This isn’t a true “boom economy” and the current boom is the culmination of monetary inflation and an expanded credit cycle, in the wake of the residential property and stock market booms, between 2005 and 2007, and malinvestments that have not yet been fully corrected. To date, this is by far a larger credit elevation than that of 1922-1929, and the Great Depression on the 20th century.

 

It seems as though everyone in America has bought into the promise of applied macroeconomics, refusing to acknowledge the contrary signals through the prism of classic economics, while they accept macroeconomist premises that economic truths on a micro-level are not applicable to the whole at the macro-level. This level of ignorance will soon prove to be a huge mistake, since nobody can live forever beyond their means and ability to repay amounts owed.

 

One should note that the JP Morgan Bank, one of the largest in the United States, was hit with three felony counts under the RICO Act last month, concerning the precious metals market. This is particularly alarming in light of JP Morgan’s $158 billion cash reduction in the Federal Reserve, between January and June of 2019, a fifty-seven percent decline this year.

 

Why hasn’t the need of the United States’ largest bank to acquire such a large loan over a six month period raised any warning bells in Congress? Why does JP Morgan need such a large loan if it has $1.6 trillion in deposits and a “fortress balance sheet”, as asserted by JP’s CEO, Jamie Dimon?

 

By the end of June 2019, America’s four largest banks had a combined $5.45 trillion in deposits: JP Morgan claimed $1.6 trillion; Bank of America claims $1.44 trillion; Wells Fargo posts $1.35 trillion, and Citibank holds a bit over $1 trillion.

 

So why the current panic at the Fed? If the liquidity doesn’t exist to allow these banks to issue billions in loans, when they supposedly hold $5.45 trillion, something very serious has occurred in the financial industry and another economic crisis looms on the horizon.

 

Recently, CNBC reported that U.S. manufacturing purchasing managers’ index was the lowest it’s been since June 2009, at 47.8 percent, and in recent days, many hundreds of Americans have been laid off from companies, such as Kroger and many others. Bayou Steel just laid off 376 workers, according to Market Realist; Daimler Trucks North America is laying off 450 people; WeWork is set to end five thousand jobs, one-third of its workforce; Hewlett Packard Inc is cutting approximately 8,000 positions, and lets not forget that Walmart was forced to close 63 locations last year.

 

This isn’t a “boom economy” anyway one looks at it, especially when we see Democrats and Republicans alike engaging in out-of-control deficit spending, as if the U.S. Treasury is their own personal piggy bank and there is no tomorrow. If this were truly such a golden period of economic recovery, our financiers wouldn’t be clamoring for interest rate cuts, when they are already at historically low levels.

 

America has seen this greed motivated reach for more and more before, as the borrowers seem not to have one care on how their loans will be repaid, and most of America cares not so long as they get their cut. It is this extreme callous character flaw and apathy and a complacency and the turning of a blind eye by corrupt Congressmen, a national immorality, that is allowing the Fed to once more bail out the worse white collar criminals on Wall Street, as they continue to take huge portions of bail out funds to reward themselves with tens of millions of dollars in bonuses and billions of dollars to lawyers to prevent them from being prosecuted for fraud.

 

It is an indication of America’s collective genius or its collective madness that permits Her people to hold so many contradictory assumptions, combined under the same economic system, and blindly and blithely proceed as if they were all joined by perfect cogent thought, logic and reason. And yet, many Americans cannot escape the nagging feeling that something is going extraordinarily wrong, as our best and brightest economic experts call madness “common sense”, denying that their deal with the devil doesn’t come at some terrible price eventually.

 

The impeccable and brilliant Senator Elihu Root strongly opposed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, noting in a blistering and prescient manner that “the Federal Reserve … provides an expansive currency, not an elastic one”. He noted that the temptation to expand the currency would cause the Fed to create the very cycles it was supposed to prevent.

 

It is far past time to eradicate the Federal Reserve Bank and the economic sickness that accompanies centralized banking, wherever one finds it.

 

Whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. Need little, want less and love more.

Brother Can You Spare A Dime


trump-make-america-feel-the-earn

I have been posting over the last week primarily on Crooked Hillary’s corruption, Dem corruption, Clinton crime corruption and the corruption that has been inherent in the Obama Administration especially coming to light in cover-ups trying to protect a Crooked Hillary election in November 2016.

 

In sum – a load of CORRUPTION!

 

This Justin Smith submission addresses the substance of what Trump desires to achieve for America compared to the Leftist agenda of Crooked Hillary that will further diminish America.

Brother Can You Spare A Dime

 

By Justin O. Smith

Sent: 10/29/2016 1:46 PM

 

“Once I built a tower to the sun. Brick and rivet and lime … Now it’s done. Brother can You spare a dime?”

 

Donald Trump is telling America the truth about our economy, and he has offered wise and courageous solutions that will in fact set our economy afire with prosperity for all, despite assertions of the naysayers of the Democratic Progressive Party. He doesn’t have all the answers, but he knows enough to understand that policies that create a Democratic base of takers must be ended if all America is going to thrive and prosper once more. He will throw out the policies Hillary and her progressives seek to extend and expand, that have betrayed American workers, who are mucking through the worse economic “recovery” of the past 80 years, and America First will replace globalism as our guiding light.

 

The Obama administration wants us to believe inflation is at zero, after they removed everything that matters from the inflation index, but one’s grocery, electric and healthcare bills, along with college tuition, proves that inflation is raging. Obama’s policies have pushed the GDP down to barely above zero, while they have very nearly destroyed all the high-paying skilled jobs for the middle class and college grads. And in the meantime, over 90 million working age Americans are on welfare and foodstamps, and the workforce participation rate is under 63%.

 

America must exit this economic crash-and-burn trajectory and stop the Federal Reserve’s policy of manipulating low interest rates, printing an excess of U.S. dollars backed only by U.S. taxpayers and monetizing our debt. Without controls on government spending and a balanced budget, the Federal Reserve is merely delaying another inevitable economic crash — the worse yet.

 

Trump doesn’t lie about it, stating plainly that “we have a very false economy.” He has noted that the “stock market is bloated“, as a result of quantitative easing and centrally planned government financial stimulus.

 

Hillary, bought and paid for by George Soros, Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates and always eager to redistribute the wealth between failing Wall Street firms, instinctively knows not to discuss the Fed’s inflationary actions and interest rates price fixing. She sees the Federal Reserve Bank as the tool that smooths the way for more Big Centralized Government. She also expects the Fed to keep interest rates low so she can continue Obama’s rape of the American economy.

 

Pure uncorrupted laissez-faire capitalism offers the best path for achieving enormous prosperity, and those who advocate laissez-faire capitalism are the only true advocates for liberty, since great economic prosperity has historically always brought forth great liberty for men and women alike. Donald Trump isn’t quite a “laissez-faire capitalist”, but he gets close enough for government work.

 

Hillary Clinton is mimicking FDR’s 1944 policies and referring to wants and needs as “rights”. She would have one believe that one has a “right” to a job, food, clothing, homes, healthcare and a college education, whether you have worked and earned it or not. This is what she now offers to the takers and the socialists of America, with 50% of young Americans now viewing socialism favorably, according to Pew Research.

 

Who will pay for all of this?

 

Ayn Rand, who escaped the Bolshevik communists in 1917, noted the following in 1963:

 

“If some men are entitled by right to the products of the work of others, it means that those others are deprived of rights and condemned to slave labor. … Any alleged ‘right’ of one man, which necessitates the violation of the rights of another is not and cannot be a right.”

 

On August 18th, Trump told a Charlotte, NC crowd: “I will not rest until children of every color in this country are fully included in the American Dream. Jobs, safety, opportunity. Fair and equal representation. This is what I promise to African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and all Americans. … [Adding] Let our children be Dreamers too,” as he co-opted a term used by immigration activists.

 

Trump plans to remove all job killing regulations and reduce corporate taxes from 35% to 15%, and this will open our economy to new investments and business expansions. These two common sense acts alone will unfetter capital for old businesses and see new businesses form more easily, creating thousands of new jobs.

 

America can forget about economic growth and new jobs if Hillary is elected. She has spent her entire career voting and advocating for tax increases, and now she wants a massive $1.3 trillion dollar job killing tax increase [See Section: TAXES AND REGULATION]. She wants to hit some of the wealthiest private sector with an 80% tax rate [The Federalist & DonaldTrump.com], and she will tax small businesses at close to 50%, driving many of them to close their doors and lay off employees.

 

Hillary likes to brag that her energy plan will “put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business“. She intends to continue Obama’s energy restrictions, and according to the Heritage Foundation, these restrictions will eliminate 500,000 manufacturing jobs and reduce our nation’s output by $2.5 trillion by 2030, and individual incomes will drop $7000 annually.

 

The Institute for Energy Research likes Trump’s plan to lift restrictions on all sources of American energy, noting that it will have a near immediate effect of adding over 500,000 new jobs annually. His plan increases our GDP by more than $100 billion dollars annually, and it increases federal, state and local tax revenues by $6 trillion dollars over forty years. It also increases annual wages by more than $30 billion dollars over the next seven years. And overall, this one plan increases total economic activity in America by more than $20 trillion dollars over the next four decades.

 

Hillary’s judgement on trade isn’t any better. She supported Obama’s South Korean trade deal, which was supposed to increase our exports to South Korea by more than $10 billion dollars and make 70,000 American jobs. Instead, this deal has killed 100,000 U.S. jobs, and our exports to South Korea haven’t seen any increase; however, their imports to us increased more than $15 billion dollars and more than doubled our trade deficit with them.

 

Americans should be prepared for Hillary to betray them on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Treaty too. She has been for it all along and from the very beginning, until just recently. If the TPP makes it to the Oval Office during a presidency led by Clinton, she will enact it, because her donors will demand it, and she won’t cut off her pipe-line to millions of dollars more of ill-gotten gains.

 

During his campaign rally in West Bend, Wisconsin, Trump told a huge throng of people:

 

“I am fighting for you. … It’s time to stop making the special interests rich. It’s time to make the American people rich. I am going to make America wealthy again.  … On trade, I am going to renegotiate NAFTA, stand up to China, withdraw from the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) and protect every last American job.”

 

Vote for Hillary and the poor will grow poorer and the middle class will become the new poor. Poverty will become a way of life in America.

 

Vote for Trump and Americans will do more than subsist. More Americans will have significantly greater incomes that allow them to increase their savings, invest, recreation time, luxury items or give money to charities to help any Americans who are still struggling.

 

Americans have always saved our fellow countrymen who were homeless or impoverished, long before our republic, long before FDR and long before Johnson’s Great Society, and we will continue to do so whenever it is necessary. But America will soon be on a road to a thriving economy by any standard, because we are going to build an economy that creates jobs for people who want to work and contribute to society and grow our economic engine, by unbinding the hands of those people in positions to do that very thing, if only we reject the progressive socialist vision of taxation — rejecting this collectivist tyranny — and vote for Donald Trump.

The Only Evolution I Trust is Conservative Evolution

Yesterday I received a donation exhortation from the TheTeaParty.net under the guise of Ron Dove. I get these fundraising emails quite often from various Tea Party organizations and Conservative organizations as you probably do as well (If you happen to be a Leftie you probably receive the fundraiser emails also but from the other side of political spectrum). Many of these organizations are quite worthy of support while others probably pad their non-profit salary base more than they should. Nearly all the legitimate Tea Party/Conservative fundraising base have the correct message that you have an affinity toward. In my case, as a rule, I tend not to make political donations until it closer to an election and funding is more defined to whence it is designated.

I am about to cross post TheTeaParty.net fund raiser not because I am promoting them in particular but rather because Ron Dove gives some background from growing up in a Liberal family then in adulthood migrating to Conservatism. That story is similar to mine and I suspect many others as well. It is good to know that I was not the only one to become disgusted the Left/Democrat Party paradigm.

Give if you want to, but perhaps you should a little digging into the Tea Party/Conservative organization best fits your thoughts on a national level. For that matter a local Tea Party organization (one Tea Party directory) might be closer to your heart because they are more aware of combatting Leftist concepts in your community.

I want to tell you why I’m with the Tea Party

By Ron Dove

Sent: 10/9/2015 1:02 PM

Sent from: TheTeaParty.net

It’s supporters like you that make the TEA Party great. I want to thank you for your past support of the TEA Party and encourage you to take a moment to initiate a monthly donation, and here’s why.

I became involved in the TEA Party Movement because I wanted to encourage people to think for themselves. I grew up in a Liberal household. As I was growing up it seemed like most decisions liberals made were because they were always made that way in the past. They did not even think about an issue or who to vote for. They always toed the party line. How many minority voters have voted as Democrats simply because they do not know any different? I, and we, should be educating all voters on what the Tea Party and Conservative Politics has to offer. And that’s why I got involved – to make some kind of difference.

But, if you are like me, you are also sick and tired of the same big Political game going on in Washington. It appears that regardless who our “Representatives” are, they are in their positions for themselves and not for us. How can someone represent me and us if they are there for themselves?

What issues are important to you? This is what is important to me:

o Immigration/Secure Our Borders – I live 40 miles from the Mexican border in Southern Arizona. I know about the illegal immigration problem because I see it and live it every day. My Grandparents came to this Country as immigrants. I appreciate that people want and need to come here to make a better life for themselves and their families. However, it has to be done the proper way! Our Government needs to enforce existing laws and come up with new ways to keep undocumented people out of Our Country.

o Our 2nd Amendment Rights – It seems like we are constantly trying to protect our 2nd Amendment rights. I am sick of this constant occurrence. Are you?

o Health Care – The Affordable Health Act is not affordable and is one of the worst legislations ever adopted. We need a leader/leaders that can do better than this!

o Taxes – Is the current system fair? Does everyone pay in? This system is not only flawed, but many of the deductions, loopholes and exemptions make no sense. Do we even need the IRS?

o The Economy and Small Business – My father started his own Dental Practice in 1950. Small business is what grows the Economy and is the life blood of small towns and cities. When was the last time we had an Administration that was small business friendly? We need leaders who understand this and cultivate employment and economic opportunities.

Finally, what ever happened to personal responsibility? We live in the time where everyone thinks they deserve a hand out. We need our Representatives to respect those who are truly in need, but instill the sense of personal responsibility in every program and fund created and maintained by Our Government.

I can think of many more issues that are important to me, us and Our Country. The TEA Party needs your continued help so we unite Conservatives, expose non-Conservatives to another way of thinking and to help to ensure we have nominees that reflect our values. We have expanded our member base vastly in the five years I have been involved; but we desperately need your continued support right away to continue to do what we do. Please, take a moment to “CLICK HERE” and renew your monthly donation so we can continue to be relevant over the critical next 14 months!

Sincerely,

Ron Dove
Tea Party since 2009

P.S. it’s not going to be easy but we can do this – we can take our American democracy back from the special interest-dominated Washington political elites who are driving our freedom and prosperity into the ground. Be a part of our historic effort to turn things around by becoming a Monthly Sustaining Member of the Tea Party today.

Obama Care is Not a Personalized Healthcare system and here’s why………

Sent: 9/27/2013 8:50 AM

 

I want to show you how Obamacare is designed by one of its creators to NOT Promote Longer Life and the Principle architect even admits it by saying he does not believe in Personalized Healthcare!!!! You will see more people fall through the cracks when a One size fits all system is in place!!!!

 

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/26/health/personalized-medicine-myth-reality/index.html

 

[Blog Editor: Tony Newbill wants you to focus on Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel as involved in constructing Obamacare. Here is some thoughts you should know about Dr. Emmanuel:

 

Scheiner said that the Obama administration neglected the advice of real physicians and instead decided to let political operatives craft Obama’s signature health care law. People like Obama’s former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, were the kinds of medical people that the White House consulted.

 

“Ezekiel is a medical oncologist, not a general physician,” said Scheiner. (Former Obama Doctor: Obamacare is a Failure; By Justin Credible; HABLEDASH; 5/14/12)

 

And this:

 

Ezekiel Emanuel is one of Obamacare’s chief architects, and he just announced in the Wall Street Journal that there is a crucial flaw in its foundation. How can anything so universally reviled and precariously designed ever enter the construction phase? (How to kill Obamacare without even trying; By Yates Walker; Daily Caller; 5/8/13 3:40 PM)

 

Essentially the article is about the optimism of an Eric Topol and the condemnation of Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel’s of Personalized Medicine as something not compatible with Obamacare.]


Is personalized medicine a myth?

 

…

 

The intersection of technology, science, medicine and design has led to an explosion of apps for monitoring blood pressure, glucose levels and heart rate and measuring how well you sleep, whether you’re stressed or relaxed and whether you’re eating healthy. We have been able to harness the existing digital infrastructure to get personalized health data we did not have access to before.

 

Combine wireless sensors with the study of genes, or genomics, imaging and a proliferation of health-focused social networks, and you have a convergence capable of bringing about the “creative destruction” of medicine.

 

That’s the term Topol uses in his 2012 book, “The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How the Digital Revolution Will Create Better Health Care,” to refer to the transformation that accompanies radical innovation.

 

This disruption, said Topol, will be characterized by the personalization of drugs, devices, screening tests and …

 

…

 

But not everyone agrees with Topol.

 

“Personalized medicine is a myth. It’s hyperbolic,” argued Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, vice provost for global initiatives and chairman of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania.

 

…

 

According to Emanuel, tailoring medical treatments to individual characteristics of each patient is both overly optimistic and cost-prohibitive. He likened it to buying a custom-made suit versus one off the rack.

 

…

 

In addition to what he felt would be explosive costs, Emanuel also argued against personalized medicine by observing that behavioral and lifestyle changes like diet, smoking and exercise, which account for 40% to 60% of all disease, are far likelier to have an impact on longevity and health-care affordability than genetics and thus should be the center of focus.

 

…

 

The bottom line is that when it comes to technology’s disruption of medicine, Topol believes the genie is already out of the bottle. Some of the best cancer centers are on this path. They are, however, treating a minority of the patients out there.

 

There are a host of barriers to realizing the promise of personalized medicine — insurance reimbursement, privacy and regulatory issues, information and aggregation issues, among others — but perhaps none so pernicious as resistance.

 

“The problem is that it takes physicians so long to accept a radical change. And the lag is unacceptable,” Topol said.

 

Resist as some might, the power of one’s own data is the future of medicine.

 

“It is only a matter of when,” Topol said. (READ ENTIRETY – Is personalized medicine a myth? By Amanda Enayat; CNN Health; 7/28/12 updated 1:06 PM EDT)

The President [Blog Editor: In this article the “President” is referring to the President of the Philippines.] and his advisors may completely disregard the prophecy made in the 1970s by the late Pope Paul VI that the widespread use of contraceptives would actually lead to all these moral and socio-economic evils. They, however, cannot ignore the scientific studies done by a Nobel laureate by the name of George Akerlof. They don’t have to take my word for it. Dr. Akerlof is easily accessible through Google. If the President himself takes time to google the name George Akerlof, he will find abundant materials that this economics professor has written about the high correlation between contraception and high rates of divorce, abortion, single mothers, etc.  He will find out that Dr. Akerlof has no religious motivation whatsoever in presenting his data to the social scientists of the world.  His conclusions are based completely on empirical observations.

 

Actually, Dr. Akerlof has just demonstrated scientifically what everyday observation based on anecdotal evidence has already revealed to any objective student of human behavior. In countries where artificial contraceptives are as easily accessible as candies in the corner store, the rate of abortions has risen by leaps and bounds in the last twenty to thirty years, especially in North America and Europe. As regards divorce and out-of-wedlock births, Dr. Akerlof’s empirical conclusions have been confirmed by a recent study conducted by a multinational team of social scientists in a project entitled The Empty Cradle (also accessible through Google).

 

 

The study found out that “accompanying the global mega-trend of falling birthrates is a radical change in the circumstances in which many children are raised, as country after country has seen divorce and/or out-of-wedlock births surge and a sharp drop in the percentage of children living with both of their married parents. In much of Europe and the Americas, from the United Kingdom to the United States, from Mexico to Sweden, out-of-wedlock births are the ‘new normal,’ with 40 percent or more of all children born without married parents. Though many of these births are to cohabiting couples, families headed by cohabiting couples are significantly less stable than couples headed by married families. This means that children born outside of marriage are markedly more likely to be exposed to a revolving cast of caretakers and to spells of single parenthood compared to children born to married couples.” (Little chance for RH Bill; By Dr. Bernardo M. Villegas; Inquirer Business; 10/14/11)

Janet Yellen: The Wrong Choice

 

President Obama is widely expected to announce this afternoon that he is nominating Fed governor Janet Yellen as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, the most powerful institution in the world.

 

I am sure Yellen’s nomination will receive the standard praiseworthy platitudes from a wide array of sycophants deeply embedded in the system.

 

For those pleasantly hoodwinked by the charades masquerading as our current central bank policy, a Yellen-led Federal Reserve should look just divine. Meanwhile those watching closely would call her style of central banking little more than smoke and mirrors.

Creating bubbles via QE may be nice for those with excess reserves buying cheap assets (i.e. Wall Street banks and the like), but let’s be honest. How has QE really helped the Fed in its stated mandates of lowering unemployment and generating stable prices?

FW: I think the way forward with this healthcare debacle between is this …

Sent: 10/3/2013 9:04 AM

 

Because there is no way to stop this Mobster of a Healthcare Policy from Collapsing the whole entire industry, I think the way forward with this healthcare debacle between is this …. Why not create a subsidy exchange for everyone to graduate into the exchanges rather than just some getting a subsidy and others not??

 

I think this would equalize the way the market and corporations ebb and flow into the relationship or partnership between public and private sector entities?

 

Allowing the private sector some sort of way to offer subsides to cost share in the insurance premium markets and the ACA [Affordable Care Act] be a Guarantee of those subsidies much like say the SBA, HUD and Fanny and Freddy guarantees private sector funding should be considered so the Relationship between Public and Private sector markets can be streamlined and allow the system to work inspirationally.

 

The Inspiration to help people will be better served I think and this will open the door to solving the Government shutdown because this offers the Republicans a method of policy that compliments conservative values and at the same time keeps the ACA helping with the failing system much like how a Governor on a Motor regulates its RPM so it doesn’t blow a Head Gasket when under extreme compression due to demand for power to pull a heavy load. And this is what you are trying to maintain right while we navigate the “Bumps and Hills” in the road to success????

 

I think you can be the one to offer a “National Subsidy Fix” to a Stalled out debate here that cannot be refused because of the way the private sector market can rally around the “Same Relationship like the other Government agencies work to guarantee funding flows”. 

 

To further build on this idea about how to equally subside the ACA healthcare exchanges, we should debate a “Rewards Based Subsidy Program” maybe????

 

I think tailoring something like the way Auto Insurance is considerate in that if a family is prudent in carefully creating a living practice that results in less accidents a reward of lower costs to premiums is the result means that this would be true in healthcare too. And that a doctor or medical providers cost structure would be based off an ACA annual report on medical usage. And that if the costs are rising that more educational values need to be implemented to drive societal understanding of its need to be better at performance of their healthcare. So [then] costs can be controlled and “Rewards” sustained in the Subsidy Exchanges which under the ACA Subsidy Exchanges associated with the ACA Healthcare exchanges would be then accessible to families that provide performance records that show less usage. And they be rewarded for this performance in less premium costs and that subsidy exchange then grows in value to afford a sector where costs are needing greater subsidy to offset their costs.

 

This seems to be a Strategy I heard the insurance company named Tenet Healthcare this morning use in picking areas to invest in and associated with the ACA. But this needs to be a National strategy and so doing something with the subsidy policy needs to be the catalyst for bringing together supplement exchanges to equalize lower cash flow areas in the USA with higher. So that the Insurance Companies do not squeeze the higher cash flow areas for profits forcing more and more onto the Government exchanges . . .

 

“Cash Flow is the driving factor and of course you know this but the idea that this subsidy can be a market that the investing community can invest in to recycle unused capital and reallocate it based off an ebb and flow of healthcare performance” can be achieved here I think. But I think you have to create the rewards policy that will drive performance in individuals trying to be as healthy as possible.

 

“Make it a Sport to be as healthy at living as Possible and I think we all win”!!!!

 

Thanks and have a great day.

Obama-Backed Trans-Pacific Partnership Expands Corporate Lawsuits Against Nations for Lost Profits

 

The Obama administration is facing increasing scrutiny for the extreme secrecy surrounding negotiations around a sweeping new trade deal that could rewrite the nation’s laws on everything from healthcare and Internet freedom to food safety and the financial markets. The latest negotiations over the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) were recently held behind closed doors in Lima, Peru, but the Obama administration has rejected calls to release the current text. Even members of Congress have complained about being shut out of the negotiation process. Last year, a leaked chapter from the draft agreement outlined how the TPP would allow foreign corporations operating in the United States to appeal key regulations to an international tribunal. The body would have the power to override U.S. law and issue penalties for failure to comply with its rulings.

 

We discuss the TPP with two guests: Celeste Drake, a trade policy specialist with the AFL-CIO, and Jim Shultz, executive director of the Democracy Center, which has just released a new report on how corporations use trade rules to seize resources and undermine democracy. “What is the biggest natural resources without any regard for the environment or labor standards? The threat is democracy,” Shultz says, (READ THE REST – Obama-Backed Trans-Pacific Partnership Expands …; from: a daily independent global news hour with Amy Goodman & Juan González; Democracy Now; 6/6/13)

http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/10/04/the-government-knows-its-a-medical-killing-machine/

 

Here are four smoking guns that substantiate the title of this article.

 

Smoking gun #1: As I detailed in my two previous articles (click here and here), Dr. Barbara Starfield’s article in the July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association, “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?”, spelled out the damage:

 

The US medical system kills 225,000 Americans per year. That’s well over two MILLION deaths per decade.

 

The US government supports, in numerous ways, this system. And now, through the implementation of Obamacare, many more previously uninsured Americans will enter the killing fields.

 

Dr. Starfield’s data are not classified. They’re not a state secret. Any doctor or medical bureaucrat has access to them.

 

Yet nothing of note is being done to remedy the ongoing crime.

 

Smoking gun #2: Starfield’s report indicated that, every year in the US, 106,000 Americans die as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs.

 

The FDA is the only agency tasked with certifying these drugs as safe and effective. With such certification, the drugs enter the public pipeline.

 

On the FDA’s own website, under the heading, “Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions,” appears the following text: “Over 2 MILLION ADRs [Adverse Drug Reactions] yearly; 100,000 DEATHS yearly; ADRs 4th leading cause of death…”

 

Astonishingly, the FDA takes no responsibility for any of this. They, and only they, can approve the drugs as safe and effective. They list the numbers of deaths and … (READ THE REST – The government knows it’s a medical killing machine; By Jon Rappoport; Jon Rappoport’s Blog; 10/5/13)

How We’re All Going to Die in 2050

 

Doctors likely won’t list overpopulation as a cause of death in 2050, but research shows that it could contribute to several deadly problems, according to the Negative Population Growth organization (NPG).

 

“The consequences of U.S. overpopulation already surround us: vanishing green spaces, increasing urban sprawl and development, overcrowded schools, understaffed hospitals, rising unemployment, dwindling natural resources, a decaying infrastructure and environmental destruction,” Tracy Canada, deputy director of the NPG, told Weather.com. “These problems are part of our daily lives as American citizens, and none of them are in any way improved by our nation’s growth. In fact, they are all worsened by adding more people to the equation.”

 

In 2011, the United Nations estimated the world population was 7 billion, and could reach 8 billion in 2023. After the largest population increase of any decade, America’s population sits at approximately 315 million and is projected to hit 363 million in 2030, according to the NPG.

Does OBAMACARE DIVIDE SOCIETY?

Sent: 10/8/2013 1:35 PM

 

http://www.obamacarewatch.org/primer/exchanges-and-premium-subsidies

 

Exchanges & Premium Subsidies

 

One of the main features of ObamaCare is the creation of a new federally-financed health care entitlement that will subsidize the insurance premiums for low and moderate income Americans, beginning in 2014. The amount of the subsidy is inversely related to family income and will be a administered by new state-based “exchanges” that will replace today’s small group and individual markets for health insurance.

 

Exchanges

 

ObamaCare creates new entities in every state through which individuals buying insurance on their own must purchase their government-approved insurance. In addition, many small businesses employees will get their insurance through the exchanges as well because their employers will not offer coverage to their workers under ObamaCare’s rules for employer participation (see “Employer Mandate”).

 

Premium Subsidies

 

Households with incomes below 400 percent and above 133 percent of the federal poverty line (FPL) who are enrolled in insurance plans offered through the exchanges are eligible for premium assistance financed by the federal government (Medicaid will cover families with incomes below 133 percent of FPL). In 2010, the FPL is $22,050 for family of four. The new law establishes a sliding scale of assistance based on limitations on required family contributions to the cost of coverage. For instance, at 150 percent of FPL in 2014, ObamaCare limits the amount that such households must contribute toward their health insurance premium to 4 percent of their annual income. At 400 percent of the FPL, households must contribute 9.5 percent of their income toward insurance premiums. Whatever portion of the total health insurance premium for their coverage is not paid by these households is covered by the new federal premium assistance program.

 

Estimated Federal Costs and the “Firewall”

 

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that this new premium assistance program will cost $113 billion annually by 2019, with premium assistance going to an additional 19 million Americans (the Medicaid expansion will add 16 million new people to the program at a cost of $97 billion in 2017).

 

This CBO estimate of the cost of premium assistance assumes that tens of millions of otherwise eligible households will not be eligible for this new entitlement because … (READ THE REST – Exchanges & Premium Subsidies; By ObamaCare Watch – Part of e21)

Consider Private Sector Economy Transforming to a Govt. Phony Fiat Capitalist Economy

8/1/2013 12:02 PM

 

Let’s consider what is driving the fundamental transformation from a private sector driven Economy to one that’s initially funded by Governments around the world with Phony Fiat Capital….. I would like to draw your attention to what is said at this link:

 

http://green-agenda.com/greatshift.html

 

The Green Agenda

 

“We require a central organizing principle – one agreed to voluntarily.
Minor shifts in policy, moderate improvement in laws and regulations,
rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change – these are all forms of
appeasement, designed to satisfy the public’s desire to believe that
sacrifice, struggle and a wrenching transformation
of society will not be necessary.”


– Al Gore,


Earth in the Balance

 

The Great Shift

Environmental activists often claim that modern human civilisation is ‘destroying the earth’ and our harmful activities are overwhelming Gaia’s ability to regenerate ‘herself.’ As discussed in my article about the Club of Rome (CoR) the concepts of sustainability and ‘ecological overshoot’ were brought to widespread public attention by the CoR in their 1972 report Limits to Growth. According to their predictions by now we should have run out of many vital resources, including zinc, aluminium and uranium, and be experiencing extreme food and oil shortages.

Despite the obvious failure of their dire warnings to eventuate the CoR, and a plethora of other environmental organisations, have continued to proclaim that the planet is rapidly approaching critical tipping points that will plunge the earth into an ecological collapse and result in the dieoff of thousands of species (including us). Of course the most successful tool they have found to promote this concept is Global Warming. Most other environmental problems are of a local or regional nature, are clearly visible, and can be addressed with appropriate regulations. Global Warming, however, is caused by an invisible trace gas, an essential nutrient for life, and a by-product of almost every human activity (even breathing) but, they claim, it will doom us all!

For more than thirty years the CoR has proclaimed that our modern society is unsustainable and must be replaced by an “interdependent sustainable global society, based on respect and reverence for the Earth.” This theme has become rooted deeply within the environmental movement. There is now a constant and increasingly loud drumbeat for CHANGE. This has coincided with a dramatic escalation in the rhetoric of those eager to pronounce our doom. According to a recent report the use of the word ‘crisis’ in the mainstream media has been increasing by more than 10% per year since 1995.

This psychological warfare has been very successful. Many people now feel afraid and uncertain. They tell us that soon there will be no more oil, the economy is about to collapse and our children are going to burn. No wonder people are beginning to embrace the ‘green solutions’ that they promise will lead us away from the abyss. Of course this has been the plan all along. The CoR state clearly in their own words:

 

“Man possesses, for a small moment in his
history, the most powerful combination of knowledge,
tools, and resources the world has ever known. He has
all that is physically necessary to create a totally new form
of human society – one that would be built to last for
generations. The two missing ingredients are a realistic,
long-term goal that can guide mankind to the equilibrium
society and the Human Will to achieve that goal.”
– Club of Rome,
Limits to Growth (1972)

“The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”

These proposals go by various names: The Great Shift, The Great Transition, A New Green Deal, The Planetary Phase, The Power Down, The Great Descent etc. However, they all seem to several elements in common: a global management system for world resources, a global currency, replacing nation states with regional unions, population control/reduction, and … READ THE REST

A quote from a Paragraph in this Link speaks volumes and Strikes directly at the heart of a Capitalist economic system and explains why we see an unsustainable debt slowing [and] collapsing the current economic system worldwide. Gandhi said, “[B]e the change you want to see in the world”. In today’s world this means change your consciousness so others would change theirs. How can you do that? First of all, get rid of the old consciousness, and the values and beliefs that support it.

 

Ask yourself: do you believe that —

 

o   Everyone is separate and rightfully pursues just his or her own interest.

 

o   Life is a struggle for existence; only the fittest (meaning the wealthiest or most powerful) survives.

 

o   In the ruthless competition for fitness the ends justify the means.

 

o   The more money you have, the better you are (and very likely also the happier).

 

o   People owe allegiance only to one nation and one company—the rest are strangers and competitors.

 

o   If we want peace, we must prepare for war.

 

o   Technology and efficiency are the answer, no matter what the question.

 

o   For all intents and purposes the Earth is an inexhaustible source of resources and an infinite sink of wastes.

 

o   The environment can be engineered like a settlement or a highway to fit our needs and demands.

 

If you hold such beliefs, you are part of the problem. But how can you become part of the solution? Here you must take a further step: adopt new thinking. As Einstein said, you can’t solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that produced the problem.

The Quest for a Quantum Leap in Human Affairs

 

By Ervin Laszlo

WorldShift Network

 

…

 

We are approaching a major watershed; a global tipping point.  Our very survival is in question.

 

We are destroying the planet. The production of essential biological and physical resources has already peaked.  Forests, species of fish, and coral reefs are damaged and disappearing, soils are impoverished by overcropping and by chemicals; diversity is reduced by genetic manipulation. The reserves of fresh water are diminishing; more than half the world’s population faces water shortages. And climate change threatens to make much of the planet unsuited for food production and habitation.

 

We are destroying the fabric of society. There is growing insecurity in countries both rich and poor and greater propensity to resort to terrorism and war. Islamic fundamentalism is spreading throughout the Middle East, religious fanaticism is growing in America, neo-Nazi and other extremist movements are surfacing in Europe. The gap is widening between the wealthy and powerful and the poor and marginalized. Eighty percent of the world’s domestic product belongs to one billion people, and the remaining twenty percent is shared by five-and-a-half billion. One in three urban dwellers live in slums, shantytowns and urban ghettoes; more than 900 million are classified as slum-dwellers.

 

If we continue in this way, changing weather patterns will create drought and hurricanes, harvest failures, and rising sea levels.  Famine and frustration will fuel terrorism and trigger wars.  The delicate balance of our global interdependence will … READ ENTIRETY

State Law could Kill ‘Made in USA’ Label

And we wonder why our middle class is dying?????

 

State law could kill ‘Made in USA’ label


http://www.wnd.com/2013/06/state-law-could-kill-made-in-usa-label/?cat_orig=money

 

If a company wants to label its product “Made in the USA,” it had better beware of selling it in California, which may allow people to sue the company for using the label.

 

While the other 49 states adhere to federal standards allowing a product to carry the “Made in the USA” label if it is substantially manufactured in the U.S., California alone requires a product be 100-percent American made. Not a pin, not a screw can be made anywhere else.

 

In fact, in 2011 California’s Supreme Court affirmed in Kwikset v. Benson that the company Kwikset could be sued for using the label on one of its locks because the screws in it were manufactured in Mexico.

 

Far from protecting American manufacturers and consumers, however, even the Made in USA Foundation is warning California’s law is placing a chilling effect on American companies everywhere.

 

“In our new global economy it is virtually impossible to manufacture a high-tech product 100-percent in the USA,” explained Joel Joseph, chairman of the Made in the USA Foundation, in support of a California Assembly bill that would amend the law and bring the state into line with federal guidelines.

 

“The fact that California is the only state in the nation to have such rigid standards is a barrier to business,” added California Assemblyman Brian Jones, R-Santee, sponsor of the bill, AB 890, which was blocked in committee June 25 but has been granted reconsideration. “The inconsistency in law has resulted in … (READ THE REST – State law could kill ‘Made in USA’ label: ‘Joblessness and dysfunctional government go hand in hand’; By Drew Zahn; WND; 6/30/13 1:33 PM)

LBMA Data: Beyond The Smoke And Mirrors

 

By Michael O’Brien

2 August 2013

GoldCore

 

…

 

On Wednesday, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) published June clearing turnover statistics for the over-the-counter London Gold Market which revealed a new multi-year record of astronomical monthly ‘gold clearing’ activity for June and rounded off a quarter of record activity from April to June, a period during which the gold price fell substantially. These monthly statistics are usually released at least one month after the end of the reporting month, hence the latest figures were released on July 31st.

 

On a six month comparison from January to June 2013, even though the gold price fell by 20.7% over the period, demand for gold shot up by 39%. As the LBMA commented on Wednesday:

 

“demand for gold has increased by 39% since January, buoyed by strong physical demand particularly from China and India which has more than offset sales by ETF funds in the western economies”

 

June gold clearing figures broke a new record for millions of ounces transferred with on average 29 million ounces transferred (cleared) per day in the London Market, improving on the previous multi-year record of 28.2 million ounces transferred per day which was reached in May.

 

Since the gold price trended lower in June compared in May, the average daily value in US dollar cleared was lower in June than in May, even though volume was higher. The June average daily number of gold transfers reached … READ ENTIRETY

Lawmakers and staff can breathe easy — their health care tab is not going to soar next year.

 

The Office of Personnel Management, under heavy pressure from Capitol Hill, will issue a ruling that says the government can continue to make a contribution to the health care premiums of members of Congress and their aides, according to several Hill sources.


A White House official confirmed the deal and said the proposed regulations will be issued next week.


Just Wednesday, POLITICO reported that President Barack Obama told Democratic senators that he was personally involved in finding a solution.

 

The problem was rooted in the original text of the Affordable Care Act. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) inserted a provision which said members of Congress and their aides must be covered by plans “created” by the law or “offered through an exchange.” Until now, OPM had not said if the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program could contribute premium payments toward plans on the exchange. If payments stopped, lawmakers and aides would have faced thousands of dollars in additional premium payments each year. Under the old system, the government contributed nearly 75 percent of premium payments.

BHO Administration and Economic Equality for Americans

Sent: 4/30/2013 12:18 PM

 

How can this point to an Obama Administration policy that supports Economic Equality for all Americans?

 

As ANTI Economic growth, the Number one Supporter of Obama is Environmental Organizations. It would appear that between foreign policy appeasement and now the attempt to appease with an Immigration reform bill that’s all about selective appeasement as the basis of generating support. And this is the basis for Population politics instead of Free market economic Equality as the policy of this administration. It can be said that this is the fundamental driver for Volatility in the markets. So how does this become a policy that will sustain an adequate supply being produced by a civil society of Equality? And how do those members of the society that benefit when NOT ALL members of the society have Portfolios in a Fake Stock market rally that is generated from a Federal Reserve Fake Money Injection that Only Appeases the Environmentalists due to the lack of true Durable supply side growth???

 

ALL THESE LINKS REPRESENT SUPPLY SHORTAGES ON THE HORIZON BECAUSE ALL THE FUNDING FROM THESE POLICIES OF APPEASEMENT ARE LACKING TRUE SUPPLY GROWTH TO BACK UP THE MONETARY GROWTH GOING OUT THE DOOR TO APPEASE THESE FACTIONS!!!! 

Exclusive–-Sessions: Immigration Bill Gives Amnestied Residents ‘Immediate’ Access to Welfare

 

 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/29/Exclusive-Immigration-bill-would-load-immediate-fiscal-burden-onto-state-local-governments-by-allowing-illegal-immigrants-onto-welfare

 

The immigration bill introduced to the Senate a week and a half ago would, if passed, allow illegal immigrants to access state and local welfare benefits immediately, Breitbart News has learned. The financial impact of allowing potentially millions of immigrants onto state and local public assistance could overwhelm these programs’ budgets.

 

Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) uncovered this loophole in the bill and many others, and he will circulate a memo detailing the gaps in the bill on Tuesday. Breitbart News exclusively obtained a copy of the memo before its public release.

 

“The Gang of Eight made a promise that illegal immigrants will not be able to access public benefits,” Sessions said in a statement to Breitbart News. “We already know that, once granted green cards and … Read the Rest

 

BUT Here Obama Isolates the US Minorities because you cannot take so much only from some to redistribute to those you are seeking to appease for voting support…. It would make more sense to grow the wealth effect with expanding supply and Jobs doing so, but remember then Obama and the democrats would lose the Environmentalist Support!!!

 

Wealth Gap Among Races Has Widened Since Recession

 

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/29/business/racial-wealth-gap-widened-during-recession.html?_r=0

 

WASHINGTON — Millions of Americans suffered a loss of wealth during the recession and the sluggish recovery that followed. But the last half-decade has proved far worse for black and Hispanic families than for white families, starkly widening the already large gulf in wealth between non-Hispanic white Americans and most minority groups, according to a new study from the Urban Institute.

 

“It was already dismal,” Darrick Hamilton, a professor at the New School in New York, said of the wealth gap between black and white households. “It got even worse.”

 

Given the dynamics of the housing recovery and the rebound in the stock market, the wealth gap might still be growing, experts said, further dimming the prospects for economic advancement for current and future generations of Americans from minority groups.

 

The Urban Institute study found that the racial wealth gap yawned during the recession, even as the income gap between white Americans and nonwhite Americans remained stable. As of 2010, white families, on average, earned about $2 for every $1 that black and Hispanic families earned, a ratio that has remained roughly constant for the last 30 years. But when it comes to wealth — as measured by assets, like … Read the Rest 

 

And this just shows the Appeasement policy using economic benefits that are designed to Appease both domestic and foreign radical factions that pose national security threats, again something that true economic durable supply side growth would do a better job of accomplishing this but Democrats and Obama would again Lose the support of the Environmentalist Community!!! 

 

The Tsarnaev family received $100G in benefits. How many in these factions of society are benefiting this way???

 http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/04/tsarnaev_family_received_100g_in_benefits

Why does the Main Stream Media Worship the Obama Administration and gives cover to their attempts of fundamental transformation of Liberty?  Don’t think for a Minute that not all media networks are Chasing these dollars for Greed is a Virtue and politicians exploit that sin always!!!!

 

The greatest Threat to Liberty is the Sin of a Righteous Ideology that Controls free people!!!!

 

Editor: Perhaps Tony Newbill will provide more clarity to a description of “Righteous Ideology”. I am not sure if that clarity occurs below.

 

We already know that these Obama Administration appointees are of the Same Idealistic point of view that challenge President Obama’s thoughts about what’s best for the USA and the World. It’s just that free thinking people are hard to change when the truth prevails in what sustains a Free Peoples’ Liberty. So controlling is the Media and the message that feeds information into the Minds of society that it becomes the most important part of Change in Obama’s policies to get them to fruition. Here are some examples of how that gets done in the Media networks …… When you have Ben at the Federal Reserve printing Unlimited Money and sending it out into the market places of the stock market and those dollars are ripe for harvest by advertising “It Buys Media Influence” like this:

Palm Beach County sheriff gets $1 million for violence prevention unit amid questions about civil liberties, care for mentally ill

 

http://www.mypalmbeachpost.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/bradshaw-gets-1-million-for-violence-prevention-un/nXbs4/

 

Florida House and Senate budget leaders have awarded Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw $1 million for a new violence prevention unit aimed at preventing tragedies like those in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., from occurring on his turf.

 

Bradshaw plans to use the extra $1 million to launch “prevention intervention” units featuring specially trained deputies, mental health professionals and caseworkers. The teams will respond to citizen phone calls to a 24-hour hotline with a knock on the door and a referral to services, if needed.

 

The goal will be avoiding crime — and making sure law enforcement knows about potential powder kegs before tragedies occur, Bradshaw said. But the earmark, which is a one-time-only funding provision, provoked a debate Monday among mental health advocates and providers about the balance between civil liberties, privacy and protecting the public.

Year of the Yuan: China’s Explosive Currency goes Global 

How does the Dollar Survive This?

Sent: 5/2/2013 10:22 AM

 

The dollar is doomed from a lack of Supply expansion that can’t be realized in capital accumulations in US financial markets because of a Tax Code that Penalizes Profits more than if these funds are held Off Shore. And so the results are a Doomed Dollar as the world trade currency as the US Prints more and more debt to try and fill this void in domestic markets fueling a hyper currency war in international markets.

 

We see Central Banks around the world now engaged in this currency war printing and expanding their balance sheets to compete with the dollar expansion. Alliances are being formed as a result of this and it’s trending away from the dollar as international settlement currency.

 

Year of the yuan: China’s explosive currency goes global

 

http://rt.com/business/year-of-the-yuan-china-currency-goes-global-561/

 

The ‘people’s currency’ of China is redefining the global economic monetary system. The closed-capital pariah is blossoming into a reserve standard and is hedging appeal against the indebted dollar and the untested euro, piquing foreign interest.

 

Degenerating credit quality across the board has prompted asset managers to shy away from the dollar, euro, Japanese yen, British pound, and Swiss franc. And some are turning to the yuan; a currency which 10 years ago was completely off limits to foreign investors.

 

An HSBC forecast projected that by 2015, the yuan will become one of the three most used currencies in global trade, in league with the dollar and euro. The report, issued in April, also foresees a third of China’s cross-border transactions being carried out in yuan.

 

China has been making a concerted effort to establish itself as an international currency reserve. China already has agreements with Russia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan allowing trade to be settled in yuan instead of dollars

 

As China launches its global currency, European financial centers are hoping to become Europe’s yuan hub. London, Paris, and Zurich have all made very vocal bids for this title. According to Bloomberg, the Bank of England has an inside track to be the first Group of Seven nation to sign a currency-swap with the People’s Bank of China.

But then again….

 

“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” G. Orwell

The question becomes this … “What does the Future Hold for Free People”?

 

When Animals have more rights to Life and Liberty than do Humans you can call this deceit.

 

When the Law does not apply to those who make the laws you can call this deceit.

 

As we seek the truth in times of crisis those who can find it the fastest to save the most blood and treasury of the free society instead seek to use the crisis to further an agenda. You can call this deceit.

 

For an Agenda of Ideology to take shape The Policies of Polarization instead of economic equality benefiting all in the supply-side sense, truth becomes a crisis creator. Just like God is being attacked because the truth for free people comes from God Almighty!!!!

 

When the society is being divided in class by how the economic policies become totally controlled by a central Government that elects its own central banker and that Banker is singly providing funding for the destruction of a Multi-class society by making debt issues funding available to an elite group that supports an ideological agenda making them loyal to this. And at the same time funding through a purchasing policy of treasuries that makes available to the Government welfare funding for over 50 million of the society. Thus this makes that 50 million dependent and loyal, while telling the Middle Class that they are the prize to save from this destruction while dividing them up into either elite class or Welfare class. With this division most going to the back of the welfare bus because at this stage of the breakdown of the society they are a little late getting on any bus. You can call this deceit.

 

In this time of Societal Breakdown polarization becomes the primary tool in dividing up the freedoms that bind a multi-class society together making those freedoms seem as if they are the problem not the solution. And if anyone speaks out against this action then they are seen as radical. And again you can call this deceit.

 

It would appear that the breakdown in a free society and its fundamental function of equality is from the suppression of truth that then leads to the oppression of that society. So where do you think we are at in this process???

Tony Newbill Conspiracy Theory Emails – 1/30/13 to 2/2/13


Sustainable Dialectic of Tyranny

Tony Newbill sends emails to me relating to what many would call Conspiracy Theory. Too often the thought of ‘Conspiracy Theory’ is thought of in the pejorative sense. Most of the data that Tony Newbill sends me is something I agree with. Ergo, in my book a better description is Conspiracy Fact. Even so predictive conclusions are still theories even if they are credible predictions. So I will stick to ‘Conspiracy Theory’ yet in a positive predictive sense rather than the typical pejorative sense that status quo thinkers grudgingly stick to.

 

With no further adieu here are a series of Tony Newbill emails that should give you pause in future planning. I may include expansive excerpts of some of the links and/or include some of my thoughts along the way.

Islam and Cannibalism

 

In the future, the Egyptian Islamists will not only be conducting systematic violence, but cannibalism against Christians and moderates.

 

In a recent video interview, one Egyptian scholar exposed the high school curriculum coming from Al-Azhar University, the most reputable of all Islamic schools, showing that it condoned cannibalizing non-Muslims:

 

We allowed the eating of the flesh of dead humans… under necessary conditions. It [dead human flesh] must not be cooked or grilled to avoid Haram (wrongdoing) …and he can kill a murtadd (apostate) and eat him

 

The interviewer commented:

 

The book that is being taught to general high-school students mentions that those who don’t pray can be grilled & then eaten

 

VIDEO: Egypt Salafist University: It’s OK to kill unbelievers and eat them

 

Al-Azhar finds their support for cannibalism in Islamic authority According to Al-Shafie, who is considered to be the founder of Islamic jurisprudence:

 

One may eat the flesh of a human body. It is not allowed to kill a Muslim nor a free non-Muslim under Muslim rule (because he is useful for the society), nor a prisoner because he belongs to other Muslims. But you may kill an enemy fighter or an adulterer and eat his body (716 in volume 1, Al-Kortoby)

Troops bulldoze homes, leave thousands homeless

Soldiers wearing U.N. logos evict whole towns in land grab

 

Thousands of poor Brazilian families are living in wretched conditions at make-shift refugee camps after being evicted from their homes at gunpoint by federal forces, some of whom were sporting United Nations logos, according to sources.

 

The massive operation, which left an estimated 7,500 or more people, including thousands of children, homeless was justified by authorities under the guise of creating an Indian reservation.

 

Towns literally have been wiped off the map, and no compensation was offered to the victims. About 400,000 acres of land were expropriated in the latest operation.

 

Residents in the Siua-Missu area in the state of Mato Grosso battled heavily armed federal police and military forces for weeks using sticks, rocks, Molotov cocktails and other crude weapons.

 

In the end, however, the powerful national government forces were overwhelming.

 

Virtually all of the residents have now been displaced, living in squalor, packed into school gymnasiums in nearby towns. Others are living on charity under plastic tarps propped up with sticks with no clean water or sewage services.

 

Leaders of the feeble resistance, meanwhile, are being hunted down by authorities for punishment.

 

It was in 1993, shortly after the first United Nations summit on sustainable development in Rio de Janeiro, when the scheme was proposed. The Brazilian government’s executive branch decreed that the land in question belonged to Indians.

U.S. Economy Unexpectedly Contracted in Fourth Quarter

 

The federal government helped bring the economic recovery to a virtual halt late last year as cuts in military spending and other factors overwhelmed the Federal Reserve’s expanded campaign to stimulate growth.

 

Disappointing data released Wednesday underscore how tighter fiscal policy may continue to weigh on growth in the future as government spending, which increased steadily in recent decades and expanded hugely during the recession, plays a diminished role in the United States economy.

 

Significant federal spending cuts are scheduled to take effect March 1, and most Americans are also now paying higher payroll taxes with the expiration of a temporary cut in early January.

 

The economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the last three months of 2012, the worst quarter since the economy crawled out of the last recession, hampered by the lower military spending, fewer exports and smaller business stockpiles, preliminary government figures indicated on Wednesday. The Fed, in a separate appraisal, said … READ THE REST

His first five predictions have already come true!

 

Critical Warning Number Six

 

Fail to heed this final warning at your own risk!

 

Dear Reader:

 

Something bigger and more devastating than the credit crisis of 2008 is headed our way.

 

For most people, it will hit them like a brick wall.

 

It will touch Americans harder and deeper than anything else we’ve seen since the Great Depression.

 

I feel so strongly about the critical warning I’m about to give you, I’ve decided to document it in this audio-video presentation. And I’ve labeled this a controversial video, because most people will not like what I have to say…they will find it hard to believe until they see all the facts as I present them.

 

My name is Michael Lombardi. You may have heard of me. Maybe you are one of the hundreds of thousand of investors who get my daily Profit Confidential column.

 

Or maybe you’ve heard of my company, Lombardi Publishing Corporation. I started it back in 1986. It’s served over one million customers in 141 countries since then.

 

Over the past decade, I’ve been widely recognized as the predictor of five major economic events.

 

Here they are for you in black and white:

 

In 2002, I started advising my readers to buy gold-related investments. Gold bullion sold for less than $300 an ounce back then. In fact, in 2002, I put all of my retirement money, and all of my wife’s, in gold-related investments. I’ve been pushing gold for almost 10 years now.

 

In 2006, I begged my readers to get out of the housing market. I have nothing to hide. This is the exact e-mail alert I sent to my readers on March 1, 2006:

 

“The proof the party is over in the U.S. housing market could not be clearer to me. The price action of the new-home builder stocks is telling the true story—these stocks are falling in price daily and the media is not picking it up. The latecomers to the U.S. housing market may end up looking like the latecomers to the tech-stock rally that ended so abruptly in 1999.”

 

Remember, I wrote the above in 2006 when the last thing on people’s minds were declining real estate prices.

 

By the spring of 2007, I was giving dire warnings to my readers about the economy. On March 22, 2007, I sent this e-mail dispatch to my readers:

 

“Over the past few weeks I’ve written about subprime lenders and how their demise will hurt the U.S. housing market, the economy and the stock market. There’s no escaping the carnage headed our way because the housing market and subprime business are falling apart. The worst of our problems, because of the easy money made available to borrowers, which fueled the housing boom that peaked in 2005, have yet to arrive.”

 

I was warning about the severe global recession we experienced in 2008 and 2009 long before anyone else.

 

And I totally predicted the 2008 economic massacre that later become simply labeled the “credit crisis.” On November 29, 2007, I wrote my followers:

 

“The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the other major stock market indices finished yesterday with the best two-day showing since 2002. I’m looking at the market rally of the past two days as a classic stock market bear trap. As the economy gets closer to contraction, 2008 will likely be a most challenging economic year for Americans.”

 

Years after I wrote the above, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for the stock market. And, yes, 2008 was the worst year for the U.S. economy since the Great Depression.

 

Finally, I correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. I even wrote an obituary on the stock market in the fall of 2008 that made me somewhat of a forecasting legend:

 

Here’s what I e-mail-blasted to over 100,000 people on October 6, 2008:

 

“A Stock Market’s Obituary: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. After a strong and courageous battle, the Dow Jones fell victim to a credit crisis and finally succumbed on Friday, October 3, 2008, when it fell decisively below the mid-point between its 2002 low and its 2007 high.”

 

The Dow Jones Industrial fell approximately 40% after I wrote this now famous “Stock Market Obituary,” finally hitting bottom on March 9, 2009, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 6,440.

 

Then…at the depth of the dark days of March 2009, I sent an e-mail alert to my thousands of readers and told them to basically jump into the stock market with both feet.

 

I turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 13,437 on September 28, 2012—a gain of 109%.

 

To recap my big five predictions that all came true, I:

 

1.     Told my readers to get into gold in 2002;

 

2.     Told them to get out of the housing market in 2006;

 

3.     Predicted the recession of late 2007;

 

4.     Told my readers to get out of stocks in the fall of 2008; and

 

5.     Told my readers to get back into stocks in March of 2009.

 

I didn’t spend the last five minutes of your time telling you about my five key predictions so I could pat myself on … READ THE REST (if you can figure out how to get with the link)

 

 

Is the Real Entitlement Class that does not want to give up their perks, our elected Officials???

 

http://mynorthwest.com/174/2187468/Tax-Dollars-to-Dry-Cleaning

 

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) – A few days after Washington lawmakers approved a budget deal to lower state spending last year, small-government Rep. Gary Alexander got $40.60 worth of dry cleaning done.

 

Then he made sure taxpayers paid the bill.

 

Alexander, the Republican budget writer in the state House, billed more than $500 worth of dry-cleaning fees to the state over the past two years, according to an Associated Press analysis of thousands of expense reimbursements. He wasn’t alone: Seven Democrats and 12 Republicans in the Legislature requested and received compensation totaling more than $5,600 for dry cleaning since the start of 2011.

 

Lawmakers are able to get taxpayer-covered compensation for what the Legislature deems legitimate business expenses tied to the job. That includes common costs of being a lawmaker, such as travel around the district to meet with constituents, parking fees for meetings, office supplies and rent for district offices.

 

It also includes a variety of expenses with less-explicit benefits for taxpayers, including iPhones, picture frames, artwork, expenses for meetings with lobbyists and dues to professional organizations like the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council.

 

…

 

After an AP reporter questioned him about how it aligns with a limited-government message, Alexander said he would explore ways to keep his expenses down.

What does this mean for the US Dollar as Worlds Reserve Currency????

China Launching Gold Backed Global Currency

 

According to the article, China is recasting all of their gold reserves into small one kilo bars in order to issue a new “gold-backed” currency. Many say this will disrupt global trade and will eventually cause a collapse of the US dollar.

 

There can be no doubt that the US dollar will soon be history. China is recasting all of their gold reserves into small one kilo bars in order to issue a new ‘gold backed’ global currency. This is surely a strategic part of their recent push to sign new trade agreements with Russia, Japan, Chile, Brazil, India, and Iran. The cat is now out of the bag, the US will be given the ‘bums rush’ by the largest trading nations in the world and the dollar will go down in flames. GATA now estimates that 80% of the gold that investors believe they have in allocated accounts is long gone, the majority of it probably wound up in China.

 

Here is an excerpt from Jim Willie’s ‘Hat Trick Letter’

 

Jims recent article starts out with…

 

Many are the events, signals, and telltale clues of a real live actual systemic failure in progress. Until the last several months, such banter was dismissed by the soldiers in the financial arena. But lately, they cannot dismiss the onslaught of evidence, a veritable plethora of ugly symptoms of conditions gone terribly wrong and solutions at best gone awry and at worst never intended in the first place.

 

CHINA RECASTS GOLD BARS

 

China is well along an ambitious plan to recast large gold bars into smaller 1-kg bars on a massive scale. A major event is brewing that will disrupt global trade and assuredly the global banking system. The big gold recast project points to the Chinese preparing for a new system of trade settlement. In the process they must be constructing a foundation for a possible new monetary system based in gold that supports the trade payments. Initally used for trade, it will later be used in banking. The USTBond will be shucked aside. Regard the Chinese project as preliminary to a collapse in the debt-based USDollar system. The Chinese are removing thousands of metric tons of gold bars from London, New York, and Switzerland. They are recasting the bars, no longer to bear weights in ounces, but rather kilograms. The larger Good Delivery bars are being … READ THE REST

Ann Barnhardt – Counterjihad and Economic Warning

Thanks to Danny Jeffrey my memory was refreshed on this Ann Barnhardt that now has a desire to expose Islam’s nefariousness. Go Ann Barnhardt!

 

Barnhardt’s background is in marketing and you can read about that influence from her website’s about page. However, I want you to know another side of Ann Barnhardt which I found at Seraphic Secret:

 

Every once in a while Seraphic Secret comes across a story that is jaw dropping.

 

Yesterday, Christoper D., a silent film scholar and one of our faithful readers, drew our attention to Ann Barnhardt.

 

Barnhardt is a businesswoman, a devout Catholic, an American patriot, and a brilliant provocateur of Patton-like intensity.

 

She understands that we in the West are fighting a war against radical Islam. Further, she correctly perceives that some Americans, mostly the chattering classes—never underestimate an Ivy League education—are sliding comfortably into dhimmitude, subservience to Islam.

 

…

 

1. I have no doubt that some will accuse Barnhardt of insensitivity and being unnecessarily provocative. But let’s be clear, the jihadist strategy is designed to elicit this exact response. Thus, if appeased, Islam becomes a specially protected ideology and free speech is thrown out the window. Next comes polygamy, female genital mutilation, honor killings, the repression of Jews, Christians, homosexuals and finally, an inevitable slide into sharia, Islamic law, the antithesis of this Constitutional Republic.

 

…

 

4. You might object to Ann Barnhardt’s strident tone, you might shrink at the burning of a Koran, and you might feel that her entire presentation is far too militant, but there is no denying her conviction and courage. Like it or not her DNA is America’s best hope against those who would replace our freedom loving Republic with a barbaric 7th century caliphate.

 

As Raymond Ibrahim, associate director of the Middle East Forum and author of The Al Qaeda Reader, asks:

 

“Suppose you prove beyond any shadow of doubt that Islam is constitutionally violent, where do you go from there?”

 

Answer: You go to and with Ann Barnhardt. (Excerpted from post entitled, “Ann Barnhardt: Warrior,” By ROBERT J. AVRECH on 4/6/12 – READ THE ENTIRE POST)

 

As Danny Jeffrey pointed out on his blog Freedom Rings 1776, Barnhardt provided a spunky Youtube video that defends Terry Jones (seemingly now annual) Burn the Quran mission. Jones has been labeled as a hater especially by the Multiculturalist Left and Muslim Apologists. Astonishingly many Conservatives and Counterjihad writers also have a bit of disdain for the Terry Jones mission to expose Islam as an evil religion.

 

Check out this two-part video presented by Ann Barnhardt in which she also burns the Quran. If you have heard Terry Jones, you will know that Barnhardt is way more articulate than Jones.

 

VIDEO: Barnhardt-Graham-Part1

 

VIDEO: Barnhardt-Graham-Part2

 

I found these particular videos on an Answering Muslims post entitled, “Ann Barnhardt Responds to Critics of Qur’an Burning.” You really should read that entire post as well. However, if you read the entire post by Seraphic Secret you will notice that those videos are also located there.

 

Now that I have gone into a swirl about Ann Barnhardt Let’s get back to Danny Jeffrey’s write-up on her. Danny focuses on a two hour plus seminar by Barnhardt that is about the failing economy. After all the Market is Barnhardt’s actual forte.

 

So below is the beginning Danny’s post. I usually like to cross post entire contents however this time it is more appropriate to continue reading at Danny’s blog. At Freedom Rings 1776 Danny has the two hour plus version and links to a breakdown of Barnhardt’s seminar in eight parts. Danny encourages you to bookmark his Barnhardt post so you can come back in convenient times to watches the eight parts. That is an excellent idea!

 

Here on my blog I am posting the Youtube Ann Barnhardt in its entirety.

ANN BARNHARDT…THE ECONOMY IS GOING TO IMPLODE

Freedom Rings 1776

 

“The Economy Is Going To Implode And You Deserve To Understand Why.
A partial explanation in layman’s terms of the causes of the end of the world as you know it and a few suggestions for those of you who will be tasked with the rebuilding.”

The above message introduces a video by Ann Barnhardt that I truly hope you will choose to view. The full length version is two and one half hours long, and for the sake of convenience, for those pressed for time, it is also available in eight segments less than twenty minutes each.

The information she presents is absolutely essential for any who hope to survive coming events. If you are interested in learning what she has to offer you may want to bookmark this essay and return to view one or more segments at a time when time permits.

My experience with it: I started the full length version and left it running, listening to the audio, while I went on with my other work. About twenty minutes into it I realized that the other work was insignificant compared to what I was hearing and I devoted the next two hour watching Ms. Barnhardt deliver her message, and it came across well. That is why I implore each and all to view her video. What she has to say may actually save your life, or at least some of your wealth.

Ann Barnhardt is a thorn in the side of Progressive America. For the sake of clarity I shall define Progressive America as our elite leaders of both parties, all citizens who live off the efforts of other men, all corporations immersed in the Crony Capitalism that is destroying our economy, and those “Patriots” who are simply too busy watching their favorite program on TV to take the time to understand what is happening to America. 

In this video that Ms. Barnhardt recently produced … just before the 2012 election, she speaks of the inevitable collapse and the war that follows, and then the ultimate task of rebuilding America.

About Danny Jeffrey

 

I’m sixty seven and since Ronald Reagan left office I have watched my country slowly deteriorate as freedoms are lost and the value of our currency dwindles. This has been a slow but steady decline until Barrack Obama entered the White House. I will not refer to this man as President. That is a job that deserves respect and he has earned none at all. I am convinced that were it not for the Tea Party stirring up the public we would now be living under a total dictatorship. He seeks only power and has no loyalty at all to the United States, and as long as he is in office I shall write to any who will read and speak of what he is and what he is doing to this country.

Let Everyone Prosper

It is obvious to a vast number of Americans that the divergent gap between the amount paid hourly workers for their labor is far disproportionate to that paid in profit margins and salaries and bonuses to CEOs, however, the answer is not found in higher tax rates, because no matter how high a tax is placed on companies it is always offset by higher consumer prices. If America is to remain a free-market capitalist system, at some point in the near future companies will necessarily have to create a better business model that partners labor in their efforts and presents a more balanced and equitable distribution of the net profits gained across each quarter; and, while I tend to view unions as organizations that price themselves out of competition in free markets, initially this was their mission as they attempted to close that gap.

 

Government can never force the closer of such a gap without completely destroying private businesses, because most businesses will simply shut down if they are not allowed to distribute their profits as they see fit, because it is their capital that started the business…their capital at risk…and since it is their private property, they do have the right to do with it exactly as they see fit; the worker actually risked nothing to start that business.

 

Obama would like to control all private business, and we have seen him too readily attempt to control certain aspects of our business world by picking winners and losers in the energy field as he subsidizes “green energy” technology through already failed companies, such as Solyndra, and works to utterly destroy the coal and oil industries. The only way that government could ever close the gap is by reducing America to a command economy, which sometimes seems to be Obama’s intent, and should this ever occur no one would have any real wealth, as we would all be reduced to the lowest common denominator in poverty, with only the elite ruling class garnering the bulk of the nation’s wealth.

 

Yes, I believe in a compassionate society that helps those who truly cannot do better, but we do not owe lazy people or people of low ambition a better living simply because they do not wish to expend the necessary energy to study harder in school, or try harder once they enter the work force, or because they simply have adopted an entitlement attitude and expect a great paying job to fall out of the sky and into their lap. Far too many in today’s America are now expecting something for nothing!

 

While the gap is vast, the beauty of a truly free market and capitalist society is that each and everyone of us can attain great wealth if we keep pushing through each failure until we achieve that success; usually the people who try, try again have become wealthy, but one also needs a modicum of intelligence and an idea for a business of one’s own combined with a decent level of ambition and the social grace and acumen to make the necessary business contacts. No one has ever said it was easy, but interjecting government to “level the playing field”…to make it easy for everyone…in the end only damages everyone in innumerable ways. Redistribution of the wealth is not a function of government no matter in what manner it is accomplished, and it should never be a final destination for any government that wishes to see a vibrant expanding economy, because history has shown time and time again that it has always failed wherever it was attempted with devastating effects on the society.

 

Hopefully, all America will get their heads together and start utilizing more pragmatic methods towards our nation’s real economic woes, but when Obama effortlessly spends nearly $9 trillion in four years with few results and a failed Stimulus that only distributed 6% back into the economy and Ben Bernanke is printing money at the Fed like there is no tomorrow, we have far more difficulties in this nation than the salary gap, especially when one considers the $100 trillion unfunded debt that has accrued throughout our history.

 

A larger centralized government, which is where Obama and the Progressives are taking us, will only serve to take more of the poor and middle class and even the wealthy’s earned income…their private property…and serve only to eventually further limit individual Freedom through over-regulation, just as we are witnessing through Obamacare; just look at the roaring 20s, when the government was small and regulations had been curbed back to only the barest of necessity and EVERYONE PROSPERED!

 

Even Pravda recently quoted Putin as saying that Obama was going down the path towards socialism.
