BAILOUT IS FUTILE AS AMERICA CRUMBLES

posted on October 10, 2008

By Paul Craig Roberts

America has become a pretty discouraging place. Americans, for the most part, will never know what happened to them, because they no longer have a free and responsible press. They have Big Brother's press. For example, on September 28, 2008, a New York Times editorial blamed the current financial crisis on "antiregulation disciples of the Reagan Revolution."

What utter nonsense. [emphasis added] Every example of deregulation that the New York Times editorial provides is located in the Clinton Administration and the George W. Bush administration. I was a member of the Reagan administration. We most certainly did not deregulate the financial system.

I consider this election tampering. How much longer are the American people going to allow fox "news" to indoctrinate it's viewers? I hear a stampede coming around the corner, it's getting way too obvious to be ignored, and our freedoms are at stake.

The "REAL McCAIN"

posted on October 5, 2008


http://TheRealMcCain.com/
There's no question John McCain is getting a free ride from the mainstream press. But with the power of YouTube and the blogosphere, we can provide an accurate portrayal of the so-called Maverick. We can put the brakes on his free ride!

Since we first released The Real McCain a year ago, our REAL McCain series has garnered close to 2 million views, with over 13,000 comments and tens of thousands more in petition signatures! Clearly, John McCain's record is something the public wants to discuss, and yet the corporate media is doing NOTHING to present the truth. We feel obliged to continue countering the mainstream media's love of McCain.

Betrayed by the Bailout: The Death of Democracy

posted on October 5, 2008

By William Cox, Global Research
Saturday, Oct 4, 2008

On this date, October 3, 2008, the American people were betrayed by those whom they had elected to represent them [emphasis added]. The members of Congress who voted for the Wall Street "bailout" violated their oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution" ... "that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same" ... "and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: ..."

Without holding any meaningful hearings or public discussions and listening only to those most responsible for the economic disaster, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Congress abdicated its responsibility to the American people.

According to the Army Times (dated Tuesday, September 30, 2008), "Beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the 1st BCT [Brigade Combat Team] will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks."

The article continued by saying, "But this new mission marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.

Lipstick on a Bailout

posted on September 29, 2008

Texas Straight Talk
(A weekly column)
by Dr. Ron Paul

This time last week, the biggest bailout in the history of the world seemed to be a fait accompli. Last weekend, the Fed Chairman and the Secretary of the Treasury had harsh words of doom and gloom for Congressional leaders, with the rest of the administration parroting along, and by last Monday it seemed both parties were about to fall in line and vote our Republic away by socializing the banking industry through this bailout.

Foolish business behavior was about to be rewarded, and propped up a little longer, the bubble blown a little bigger, and our coming Depression made that much greater, but then something happened on the way to the House floor.

Citizens made their voices heard. [emphasis added]

The real story behind the story in Congress this week was the thousands of calls and emails sent to Representatives, clogging up inboxes and even slowing down the House internet system. Slowly, like the Titanic turning around, sentiments on the Hill shifted, and we heard Congressmen capitulating and changing their tune a little, desperately trying to find ways to salvage the bailout without completely enraging their constituencies.

Now we hear about taxpayer protections, about golden parachutes, and about other nuances that hardly cover up the fact that we would be creating more money out of thin air and further devaluing the dollar! The problem is not HOW the government is spending this money; it's the fact that the government is spending this money. We don't have it. We are already nearly $10 trillion in debt, not including unfunded liabilities. We already spend about $1 trillion a year we don't have on our overseas empire. Now nearly $1 trillion more is somehow supposed to magically appear and solve all our problems! No - creating more money might delay the inevitable for some well-connected banks on Wall Street, but in a few weeks we will find ourselves right back in this same position, but much poorer.

The unfortunate thing is that we've already spent at least $700 billion on other bailouts that did not solve the problem. And while all this negotiation was taking place, the auto industry was quietly bailed out, with no controversy, no discussion, to the tune of $25 billion.

Inevitably, it appears Congress will call their constituents' bluff and the bailout will pass, because that is the habit Wall Street and Washington have fallen into. People are right to be concerned about our financial future. I've been talking for 30 some years about reasons we need to be concerned and change our ways. We find ourselves now in a position of no good options, and no silver bullets. But the worst thing we can do is to compound our problems by intensifying the mistakes of the past. We do have tough economic times ahead, no doubt, no matter what we do, even if we do nothing. The question, is will we have the courage to take our medicine now and get it over with, or will we prolong the misery for many years to come? I'm less and less optimistic about the answer to that question.

Lakeland's False Gospel

posted on September 27, 2008


This is what is passing for Christianity today. Pray for those lost in this heresy.

1 John 4:1 Test the spirits because many false prophets are gone into the world.

2 Peter 2:1-3; 3:14-18 2But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute...14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him....17 be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

1 Tim 6:3-21 3 If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 he is conceited and understands nothing... 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs...
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith...20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.

Part 1: 8-31-2008

Many who agree with me on a lot of other issues, do not understand my enthusiasm for gold and sound money or why I spend so much time studying and talking about monetary policy. It's true that I talk about money differently than most, but the fact is sound money offers many benefits. For example – peace.

Can sound money really bring about peace?

"The chairman of the Republican Party in Macomb County Michigan, a key swing county in a key swing state, is planning to use a list of foreclosed homes to block people from voting in the upcoming election as part of the state GOP’s effort to challenge some voters on Election Day."

Police State of Mind

posted on September 7, 2008

Another first-person account of the POLICE STATE actions of police [US government] forces at the RNC 2008.

By: Author name unknown

A weird thing happens to your nervous system when a flashbang grenade explodes close enough for you to smell it. The higher vestiges of your consciousness evaporate and you suddenly go into slow-motion autopilot. The rational part of your brain knows, knows, that flashbangs are virtually harmless. That their function is to frighten, not injure. But that part of your brain is gone. Base instinct takes over and you're no longer human - just a hairless ape trying to avoid things that go bang.

Ron Paul's speech, and other Republican moments you probably didn't see

posted on September 6, 2008

By Aaron Barnhart, September 06, 2008 on TV Barn.

First, let's start with a Republican moment nobody carried: Ron Paul's speech at the Rally for the Republic over at the Target Center in Minneapolis before 12,000 people. Unlike Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson -- to name two approved RNC speakers -- Ron Paul actually picked up some delegates during the GOP primaries, 29 to be exact, and raised millions of dollars in small individual contributions from thousands of disaffected Americans.

Political Activists Say They Are Not Terrorists

posted on September 6, 2008


The RNC Welcoming Committee, an "anarchist/anti-authoritarian organizing body" which provided logistical support to individuals protesting RNC08 in St. Paul, gave a rare press conference on the morning of 9/4/08. The organizers of the group says they have maintained a policy of not speaking to the press until now. Group member Celia Kutz says they can no longer remain silent because Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher has targeted the group

"It's become personal" says Kutz.

Eight members of the group have been charged with conspiracy and acts of terrorism.

"There are no terrorists on this stage. There are no terrorists in the Ramsey County Jail," added Kutz
