Written by Politics is a dirty business. Everyone knows that. It is full of power hungry control freaks who care nothing about transparency, accountability, honesty or principle. They don’t want to see government shrink because that would mean their power shrinks. If that’s the case, why do we hear so often so many politicians speak about such things as if they have these admirable traits when the opposite is true? Politicians are notorious for lying, flip flopping, hypocrisy and breaking promises. There are an extreme number of powerful people who are anything but admirable. In fact, many of them would be considered despicable if not for the fact that for some reason or another we as a society seem to excuse people in politics for acting in such a fashion. We have let the system become a cesspool where such men can find a respectable home. READ MORE »

The True Cost of Using Privately Provided Currency
If you’ve been following the economic news lately, and most people have been, you may have become interested in searching for alternative views on why the economy is the way it is. This may be at least partly because the corporate mainstream media has done such a poor job of predicting and reporting past and current economic conditions. The corporate media had in the past, in fact, laughed at some analysts who proved to be more correct than the establishment owned analysts. I read an interview with Catherine Austin Fitts and was quite intrigued. One of the most intriguing things about it is that she either cannot or will not disclose who are (is) really in charge.

Evolution and Food, a Different Point of View
I read a paper once on a native American tribe from the southwest. They had a larger than normal occurrence of diabetes. To put it in a nutshell, in trying to determine the cause of this the study found that the loss of a melon that had been natural to their diet contributed greatly to the rise in diabetes cases within the tribe. When the melon was reintroduced into their diet the occurrence of diabetes fell dramatically. It turns out that after ten thousand years of depending on this fruit for a major part of their diet their digestive systems had adapted to the point where taking the food source away caused it damage.

North American leaders cancel Sunday summit
Written by HONOLULU, HAWAII — Following the untimely death of Mexico’s interior minister, the North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS) on Sunday has been cancelled.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was set to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon after the APEC summit in Honolulu wrapped up.
However, Calderon cancelled his participation in both summits after learning about the death of his close and personal friend, Mexican Interior Minister Francisco Blake Mora.
Mora died in a helicopter crash Friday along with seven other people about 70 kilometres south of Mexico City.
Officials say the late interior minister was also a friend of Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and had worked with him on several files.
“Mr. Mora was a leader in the fight against drug trafficking and he will be sorely missed,” said Baird in a statement. “We also extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the other six victims of this fatal crash.”
Ron Paul, the Honest Government I Deserve
I have heard that you get the government you deserve. This might be true for you, but I can tell you I’ve never gotten the government I deserve. I’ve never voted for a corrupted, corporate establishment owned, globalist, big government Democrat. I’ve never voted for a corrupted, corporate establishment owned, globalist, big government Republican. I’ve always voted for candidates who espoused smaller, more transparent government. I’ve always voted for candidates who espoused peace and non aggression in foreign policy. I’ve always vote for principle, never either of two evils whether one is lesser or not. It wasn’t enough that someone just paid lip service to principle, they had to exhibit a public record supporting their position. READ MORE »
Imagination and the Battle Against Globalism and the New World Order
It should be no secret by now that a cadre of central banksters, politicians and extremely wealthy corporatists have been working to implement a global order which would benefit their interests. The mere knowledge of this causes different reactions in different people. Some will enter a state of denial and claim no such things exist. Others may admit to the existence of such conspiracies, but would claim there was nothing that can be done to stop them. Still others would not only admit to the conspiratorial nature of those at the top, they would explore methods to thwart such plans and prevent humankind from re-entering a feudal serf system. They would try to convince the deniers to join them in their efforts. To these people I say use the gift of imagination that nature has given to the human race. READ MORE »
Co-opting the Populist Majorities
I have stated before that I am happy to see the “Occupy Wall Street” movement moving forward and turning into something bigger. I am happy to see it gain momentum and migrate to other areas. The American people, like people all over the world, are angry with the ruling classes and are voicing their discontent. Whether the oligarchs have planned and/or financed the populist movements that have popped up lately I don’t know, but it seems to me that it would be prudent for them to try to infiltrate such movements and obtain leadership positions so that they can steer them in directions they want them to go.

999 is 666 Upside Down and Backward
“Let me tell you how it will be,
There’s one for you, nineteen for me…
…Don’t ask me what I want it for,
If you don’t want to pay some more
Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.”
From Taxman by The Beatles
No, I’m not claiming that Herman Cain is the Antichrist, though I’m sure that there are many others who will. I will say, however, that I’m scratching my head wondering how he got so popular promoting such a lame tax scheme. Are there really that many people who will fall for such a propagandistic gimmick? Are there really that many people who don’t know how taxes work? Are there really that many people that don’t understand that this is a tax increase for everyone? My guess is that the media is exaggerating Mr. Cain’s popularity just as they are understating Dr. Paul’s. I think the establishment is running scared at Ron Paul’s popularity and so they commanded their corporate media lackeys to promote this guy as the next great messiah or some such thing. READ MORE »
Ron Paul; Exposing Establishment Propaganda Since 1976
It is no secret that I am a huge Ron Paul supporter. I wrote quite a few write ups supporting his candidacy during the 2008 campaign. I wrote so much, in fact, that it becomes difficult to say anything that hasn’t already been said. That’s no big deal. There are many things in life that are worth repeating. Ron Paul is the rarest of politicians. He is the embodiment of honesty, integrity and principle. Most people like him would have just given up long ago on the political process and returned to their normal lives where they wouldn’t have to deal with so much filth and corruption. Dr. Paul has hung in there since 1976 when he first entered politics in hopes that he could change for the better the way things are run in Washington, DC. He has done so despite the ostracism and derision of his colleagues and their cronies. Now, as 2012 approaches, he is capturing the attention of even more Americans and they are discovering just how manipulated politics and the mass media are. READ MORE »
‘Neo-Nazi, masonic-lodge mindset – Norway’s new brand of terror’
The man facing 21 years in jail for carrying out Friday’s twin attack on Norway is due to make his first appearance in court to explain his actions. Prosecutors are set to ask for his trial to be closed to the public and media. 32 year old Anders Behring Breivik has admitted responsibility for a bomb attack in the capital, and a massacre at a youth camp. However he’s denied any criminal guilt. 93 people reportedly lost their lives, but police say that number could be revised downwards. The bomb in Oslo targeted buildings connected to Norway’s governing Labour Party, and the youth camp on Utoya island was also run by it. Investigative journalist Tony Gosling told RT the case highlights a new brand of terrorism.
Individual Rights, Justice and Policing the World
Lately I have been concentrating my writings on Democrats and their big government programs. This is likely because the president is a Democrat and supposedly his administration is one that pushes the agenda of the Democrats. He has, in my opinion, misrepresented his principles to the American people and has simply continued and expanded the big government programs of the previous administrations, programs he intimated would end when he was a candidate.

War, the Sickness of Empire and Economic Genocide
I’ve made the claim for some time now that the economy is people. It’s you and me trading goods and services on a voluntary basis. It’s me providing you with my labor or something I’ve created, then you providing him with your labor or something you’ve created, then him providing her with his labor or something he’s created and so on and so forth. This is what makes economy, so it would make sense that the economy would grow as the population grows. It would make sense that the economy would shrink as the population shrinks. It would make sense that the economy would stabilize when the population stabilizes. But this is not what has happened. I believe this is at least partially because some people have been able to manipulate the mechanisms of economy in unnatural ways for their own benefit, and therefore to the detriment of most others.

Evolution, Religion and Mankind’s Impact on Climate Change
People carry around many misconceptions in their thought processes. They make all kinds of assumptions that have nothing to do with facts, reasons, or observations. Sometimes this becomes evident in such a way as to take one aback and make one say “huh?” I discovered this personally one day when I became involved in a rather boisterous conversation about human driven climate change.

The Money Tree and the Evil of Good Intentions
2012 Leave a Comment
“Do you think money grows on trees?”
Dad
It’s something most of us learn when we’re very young. Money isn’t easy to come by. You have to earn it. You have to work for it. You have to do your chores. You have to get a job delivering newspapers. You have to mow people’s lawns or shovel their walks when it snows. You have to do something productive and then people will pay you. Only then can you go to the candy store and buy yourself a treat, or spend your Saturday afternoon in a dark movie theater enjoying an eye popping spectacle. That was part of Americana when I was growing up, learning that things weren’t just handed to you, they needed to be earned. READ MORE »
