Friday, January 28th, 2011 A California community announces it no longer will accept cash in payment of utility bills – to protect against terrorists, of course. [This may seem like a small matter, but collectivists want to eliminate cash completely so all financial transactions can be traced by credit card or check. This is a small but definite step toward that goal.]

US: Virginia State House of Delegates passes the ‘Intrastate Commerce Act’ to nullify any federal regulation of economic activity that is entirely within the state. [This is very good news. Collectivists have used a tortured interpretation of the commerce clause in the US Constitution to justify virtually unlimited federal power over activities within the states. Nullification is a Constitutional way to reverse that trend. Let's hope other states soon follow suite.]

US: Social Security now is losing $45 billion dollars per year, and the fund will be completely drained by 2037. [That is the optimistic view. The realistic view is that the fund already is drained because it has no money, just government bonds, which are IOUs. As long as the government is controlled by collectivists from both major parties, Social Security will continue to lose even its IOUs and, eventually, the whole system will be funded entirely from taxes and inflation.]

Federal Reserve quietly institutes an accounting trick that makes Enron seem virtuous. It now can treat losses as liabilities to the US Treasury.

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?

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 nuclear powered aircraft carrier is offshore in the Yellow Sea to participate in military drills with South Korea next week, apparently in response to the recent shelling of a South Korean island by North Korea. China sees the carrier’s presence as a threat to her security. [What will be her response? Is she being goaded into an attack?

Germany rejects European Commission’s proposal to double EU bailout funds, currently at $588 billion. A condition of the EU plan is that the IMF would lend 1/3 of the total. Germany objects because it could trigger lack of public confidence in the solvency of Spain and Portugal causing them not to be able to continue selling their bonds. [Public confidence often is not based on reality. The reality is that these governments are insolvent and cannot pay off their bonds even if they sell them unless they are paid off with devalued currency, which is what they prefer to do. Remember, also, that U.S. taxpayers are on the hook for the biggest chunk of loans from the IMF.]

China and Russia announce they will trade with each other in their own currencies (yuans and rubles). This is a blow to the dollar that, until now, has been the international trading currency. The dollar has been accepted by other countries in spite of its massive increase in quantity because oil was traded in dollars, and everyone needs oil. Now that Russia, the #2 exporter of oil, will no longer accept dollars, other nations will lose much of their incentive to acquire them. [This may be the first falling domino leading to the end of the dollar as a measure of purchasing power, abroad and in the U.S. Anyone caught with life saving in dollars or in investments denominated in dollars will be wiped out.]

The contest between Left and Right has been replaced by a new conflict between the individual vs. corporations – especially so when one realizes that corporations have become the dominant controlling force over governments. This provides an excellent insight to the new reality.

The Federal Reserve latest round of quantitative easing (creating $600 billion out of nothing to pay its debts) will further devalue the US Dollar. Countries that previously were willing to purchase US bonds now have lost interest. Increasingly, only the Fed is left to create more and more money, as the economy begins its final plunge to the bottom.

Saturday, November 6th, 2010 UN criticizes U.S. for human-rights violations. Ironically, the most vocal critics are from nations with the worst record on human rights. The criticism is based on statements contained in a report submitted to the UN last year by President Obama. This is preparing the way for the U.S. eventually to be subject to UN sanctions.

AT&T moves into health business. Anticipating that government will take over the medical system (regardless of which party is in power) AT&T is developing wireless services to monitor every detail of health care – such things as video links to replace doctor visits, pill-bottle caps that detect when they are opened, and slippers that monitor patient activity. Here is another new industry that will profit from government control and personal micro-management. [Ever wonder why large corporations favor collectivism?]

AIG received $100 billion bailout 2 years ago and is 80% government owned. Despite a $2.4 billion loss for the 3rd quarter, now it plans to pay back the bailout with an accounting trick similar to that used with banks and auto companies: They will pay with stock which the government will offer for sale to the public. [We predict that, eventially, it will be discovered that the Fed and the Treasury will have quietly injected funds into the financial industry to enable favored players to buy the stock at unrealistically high prices – so the government can claim the bailout program worked after all. In essence, the government will create the money to pay itself back. Note the spin in the article's headline: "AIG cleans house." Cleaning house is good, right? But, in this case it's more like selling off the furniture, carpets, appliances, plumbing, light fixtures, wiring, and roof shingles to make one more payment to the mortgage holder.]

Do not be fooled into thinking that world leaders at last have recognized the insanity of geo-engineering. It means only that the UN wants to be the controlling center of it. Since it will bring political power and massive funding, the UN will enthusiastically embrace all aspects of it while issuing comforting words about the need for caution.

While we have been debating the issue of legalizing Marijuana based on freedom vs. health and ethical arguments, there has been a much deeper issue totally ignored by mainstream media. [This article explains why elitists like George Soros and corporations like Monsanto are supporting the legalization movement. It is because hemp has strong commercial and medical characteristics they plan to genetically modify so they can patent the seeds. They plan to monopolize these new markets through government control of hemp production; but first it has to be made legal. Here is the amazing story. The problem lies, not with legalizing hemp, but with allowing corporations to genetically modify and patent it.]

Quotes on Banking and Monetary Policy
Sunday, January 24th, 2010“Government is the only agency that can take a valuable commodity like paper, slap some ink on it, and make it totally worthless”
Ludwig von Mises
“Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again…Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.”
Josiah Stamp Director of the Bank of England, 1928-1941
“It is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
Henry Ford
“We in the Congress have a moral and constitutional obligation to protect the value of the dollar and to understand why it is so important to the economy that a central bank not be given the unbelievable power of inflating a currency at will and pretending that it knows how to fine-tune an economy through this counterfeit system of money.”
Ron Paul, M.D. and U.S. Congressman (R-Texas)
“If all bank loans were paid, there would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation.We are absolutely without a permanent money system.”
Robert Hemphill, Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta
“By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
John Maynard Keynes
“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America rise, not from defects in the Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.”
John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson, 1787
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury, 1802
“The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay…If such a law is not abolished immediately, it will spread: multiply and develop into a system.”
Bastiat
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.” “[The United States is] no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men”.
Woodrow Wilson, referring to his signature enacting the Federal Reserve Board in 1913
“I was as secretive, indeed I was as furtive as any conspirator. Discovery, we knew, simply must not happen, or else all our time and effort would have been wasted. If it were exposed, that our particular group [of wealthy bankers] had got together and written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by Congress”.
Frank A. Vanderlip, one of the members of the secret Jekyll Island meeting where the Federal Reserve was conceived in 1910
