Mexico is purging US Dollars from its economy. It no longer allows purchases in Dollars, not even in American-owned stores such as Wal-Mart. That’s because the Dollar is losing value so fast it is expected to collapse very soon, and Mexico does not want to be left holding the worthless notes. [Amazing! We have come to the point where people prefer Mexican Pesos over US Dollars. Are your savings still in Dollars?]

US: Last year the city of Oakland, California, passed an ordinance allowing marijuana farms. Now federal prosecutors are threatening to prosecute growers and even city council members if they follow through. [The issue is, not whether people should grow pot, but who is authorized to make that decision. The Tenth Amendment says that states and the people have the authority in all matters except those specifically described elsewhere in the Constitution, and that does not include decreeing what crops may not be grown. Therefore, it is up to the states or the people, not the federal government.]

US: Federal Judge orders BP-claims administrator Ken Feinberg to stop telling Gulf victims that he is independent because, even though approved by Obama, he is working on behalf of BP. Feinberg is offering settlements that prevent victims from suing BP or any other responsible party after they sign the release. Now that the victims know he is not independent, more law suits are expected.

US: Whole Foods, Stonyfield Farm and Organic Valley, three of the largest organic-food brands, say they will not fight genetically-modified foods but, instead, will “co-exist” with them. They were told by the FDA that a complete ban was not an option, so they chose the best they could get, which is partial regulation of some crops. [Very courageous! By the way, the CEOs of two of these companies are personal friends of the head of USDA who is so close to Monsanto that he has traveled on its corporate jet on political campaigns. The author of this article says this is not a major scandal, just disappointing. Our view is that it is a major sell-out with the distinct odor of corruption.]

Now let's see if the legislators really mean it or are just trying to look good to the voters. When enough states reject a bad federal law, it has little chance for implementation.]

Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.

US: Analysis: Banks claim to be making a profit, but that is a bookkeeping trick. In spite of continuing foreclosures and bad loans, banks are reducing loan-loss reserves. Heck, who needs to put money aside for losses when you can get a government bailout from the taxpayers?

DISINFORMATION

When the enemies of freedom cannot hide or deny the truth, their disinformation agents proclaim it boldly but mix it with questionable or offensive claims so people will recoil from the whole, like mixing garbage with groceries to stink up the bag and cause us to throw out the good with the bad. News items in this section may be in that category.

US: A Congressional panel finds that the financial crisis occurred because government officials, the Fed, and Wall Street ignored warning signs and failed to properly manage risks. The panel is referring cases to the Department of Justice to look into possible criminal prosecution. [This is classic controlled opposition. First, there likely will be no prosecutions of the people who were most responsible, because they have too many friends in high positions. Second, the panel concluded that there is nothing wrong with the the financial system itself, including the power of the Federal Reserve, only with the people who run it. However, until the banking cartel called the Federal Reserve is abolished and the nation returns to sound money based on gold or silver, the problem will never be solved. This theater of investigating, deliberating, debating, and finger-pointing merely serves to perpetuate the system and keep the public from considering an alternative.]

US: Treasury announces it will sell warrants it holds in Citigroup and 2 smaller banks to raise money to repay the $700 billion bailouts. It claims it will make $12 billion on its $45 billion bailout of Citigroup. [We are getting tired of having to repeat this warning, but it must be done: We don't believe you can squeeze orange juice out of a rock. In spite of all the brave talk about economic recovery and improved profits, banks and other bailed out entities are not yet producing anywhere near sufficient real profit to repay the bailouts. The trick they have used in the past, working in partnership with the Federal Reserve, is to provide new bailouts, hidden from public view, to repay the old ones, thereby fooling the public into believing bailouts are acts of statesmanship. Eventually, all of this will be exposed but, by then, it will be too late to do anything about it.]

US: A recent poll reported that Obama’s approval rating has soared to 77%.

The reality, therefore, is that 75% like something about him (mostly his personality) but only 46% like his policies, which is the meaning of an approval rating. This is classic media spin.]

AIG and the US government are working on a plan to sell $20 billion dollars of AIG stock to expand the company’s capital. This will reduce the value of existing shares, but it is hoped it will attract needed capital from investors. [As with previous moves to attract new capital into businesses that continue to lose money, we are skeptical. The standard game plan is for the Treasury and the Fed to covertly provide politically favored investors with new money or offer guarantees to cover the loss of old money so that, on the surface, it looks like the bailouts have been paid back. Watch closely. Can you tell which shell covers the peanut?]

Morgan-Chase bank in Cleveland told a homebuyer that the only way they were willing to modify his loan downward was for him to default on his payments, which he did. [Why would a bank advise default?

In other words, the banking game continues at the expense of taxpayers.]

State of Virginia is considering establishing a committee to study whether it should adopt currency such as gold or silver should the Federal Reserve collapse. [This is a step in the right direction but strictly speaking, it is unconstitutional. Article 1 Section 10 of the Constitution says that states may not "coin money." That is reserved to the federal government. States must allow only gold or silver coins to be legal tender (which means people are required by law to accept them), but they cannot issue legal tender coins themselves. They can manufacture their own coins and accept them in payment of taxes, but cannot make them the official money of the state that people must accept. So it gets murky. Let's hope the committee will sort all this out and come to the conclusion that the state should issue silver and gold coins, encourage them to be used as money even though they are not required to do so. That would be ideal. No one needs to be forced to accept gold or silver.]

Utah State Senator Steve Urquart correctly assesses Obama’s new ‘Wilderness Reinventory’ as a cruel joke and a massive federal land grab for millions of acres of land, particularly in the West. Economic development will be prohibited, and many people will lose their resource-related jobs. Urquart says this is a ploy by Obama to garner leftist support. [The larger ploy is to depopulate 1/2 of America's land mass, known as the 'Wildlands Project' and part of the UN's Agenda 21.]

An amazing 23-minute video exposé on Big Pharma. In 2009, $5 billion was paid in fines by drug companies for fraud. That’s a lot, but Americans spend over $300 billion a year on pharmaceutical drugs, so the fines are less than 2% of gross income. Drug executives consider that to be a good business model. Astonishingly, a tax advocate reports (at the 11:15 marker) that company kickbacks to doctors in the cancer industry accounted for 60 to 70% of doctors’ income.

G20 leaders refuse to back the US demand that China stop expanding its money supply, which lowers the value of its currency.

At this time, it applies only to income that exceeds a capital-gains threshold, so only high-income taxpayers are affected. [Before breathing a sigh of relief, recall that the national income tax was sold in 1913 as a tax on the rich but later was applied to everyone, while the super-rich were given loopholes to escape it. Expect the same pattern here.]

Bee die-off, or Colony Collapse Disorder made headlines last week when University of Montana and Army researchers attributed the phenomenon to a fungus and a virus instead of pesticides, as suggested by previous research.

John Holdren, Obama’s Science Advisor, is urging the public to stop using the phrase “global warming” and replace it with “global climate disruption.” [Smart move for the mythmakers, because the reality of global cooling becomes more evident with each passing month, and the phrase "climate change" is not scary enough to justify the massive taxes and government controls these people have in mind.]

In Louisiana, just days after a tide of BP oil hits the waterways, there is the largest fish kill in living memory, including a dead whale. The Louisiana Dept. of Wildlife says there is no connection to the oil spill. [Is that an insult to our intelligence or what!]

US: Home seizures reach record for third time in 5 months, while government continues trying to stimulate housing prices by preventing a much needed price correction. [Until this price correction occurs, the housing market will not recover – except through the mirage of inflation. In that case, home prices may rise again, but the purchasing value of the dollar will fall even more, thus canceling any real gain.]

There still is a way to stop Obama Care. Even though the Senate has defended the program, it cannot be implemented without funding. It takes both houses to approve funding. This offers one more shot at defeating the whole program if the majority of the House of Representatives will stand firm.

Find out if your candidate endorses “De-Funding” ObamaCare. [Beware: This has all the earmarks of being a front for the Republican Party, which cannot be trusted to stand firm. Republican leadership will give lip service to repealing Obama Care but, in the end, will sell out and only eliminate a few of its features, leaving the structure in place for expansion later. Nevertheless, the concept is good. Just don't be fooled by professional liars.]

US: The annual Military Appropriations Bill is up for vote and is assured of passing. No one dares to oppose it lest they be called unpatriotic. So politicians try to attach unpopular bills to it. Senator Harry Reid wants to attach two such measures: one to allow foreign students to immigrate if they will serve in the military and the other is to eliminate the present prohibition against open homosexuals serving in the military.

Cuba: Communist regime employs 95% of the workforce but now is forced to lay off 10% (half a million) and reduce restrictions on the private sector that, hopefully, will employ them. Cuba provides free healthcare, education, subsidized housing, transportation, and basic food, which has bankrupted the state. [Just as it will bankrupt America.

US: Federal Court awards an autistic child’s family $1.5 million and $500,000 per year for vaccine damage. [There are 4800 other autism cases pending, but it is unlikely that this will set a precedent, because the award was based on the assumption that the child's autism was not caused by the vaccine. The drug company argued (and the court concurred) that the vaccine merely aggravated an underlying condition that was the cause of the damage.]

Obama defends the so-called stimulus program by boasting of jobs created in a Michigan factory that produces batteries. Taxpayers will put $2.4 billion dollars into projects like this (about $7500 per taxpayer). In the battery plant, $548 million was spent to create 309 new jobs. That’s $1.8 million per job.

Leading psychologists say that effects of television, especially among pre-schoolers, can irreversibly damage health, including impaired brain development, eating disorders, even heart disease.
