This second video is a multi part video presenting how corrupt corporate media really is. It's long but very informative.
There is no way to avoid what's ahead. The tracks have been laid and the train has long since left the station. Just as the seasons must progress from Spring to Summer through Fall and into Winter, a Crisis must follow an Unraveling. History does not have a rewind button. The country has become weak and fragile. The short-sighted economic choices and deferred fiscal decisions will collide with peak oil and uncontrolled globalization to inflict a horrific resolution to this Crisis. The gravity of our situation cannot be overstated. As politicians and the mainstream media play pretend games of recovery and false optimism, the country hurtles closer to the abyss. You may have noticed that as a country we not only did not prepare for Winter, we proceeded like it would never come. No leader has emerged to bluntly speak the truth to the American people. The free spending junkie government has finally been cut off by the Fed. Expect it to thrash about as the high wears off. All that is left is for individuals to prepare their families for the immense challenges ahead.
As Jim Quinn points out, we have gotten to a point where most of those who have the power to make the necessary changes have refused to do so, either because they are ignorant of the facts or are ignoring the signs altogether.
This leaves us with one option, which is essentially to prepare ourselves, as individuals, families and close community units, to weather the coming storm. We’re talking much more than just storing freeze-dried food, ammo and gas. To prepare for an event like this requires a different kind of mindset - one of sustainability and self reliance that will require a dynamic approach to a variety of problems. We need to become more self reliant in terms of income generation, food procurement, and energy production. It’s time to get back to our rugged American roots and start doing things for ourselves instead of holding out our hands looking for freebies from a broke government support system.
I might add, as we begin to recoil from the financial institutions ourselves and the drugged mania they offered we will find a new happiness. There is a more sane and natural life on the other end of this, although it will be painful getting there.

I'm not an advocate of Fox News in case you were wondering. This video is up because of Gerald Celente. (Also I'm neither an advocate of CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TIME, NEWSWEEK, or any other money controlled propaganda investments.)
When we blindly accept history as it's been told to us by the book makers we may be denying ourselves the critical truth that enables us to make sense of living on this planet at this time. Who's has profited from every modern war? How did the great depression come about? Who profited from the great depression and how? Why were the Germans so mad at the Jews? Who is in charge of the central banks?
The few that have the power don't deserve it. The world is not better for their leadership. The lowest scum of humanity fight, bribe, and kill their way to the top. They fight anyone who tries to climb up the mountain and challenge their rule. They are a sad selfish lot. Their selfishness has caused the entropy that we see in the world today. It's not your fault or mine, they actively pursue a policy of dumbing down the masses in order to hold on to their empire. If people were informed and working together for the common good, everyone would be doing better. But as Frederick Bastiat has said we live in a society of plunder, everyman for himself. The masses feed off their young. The upper tiers of the robber class have however shown some interest in making the future better for their beneficiaries. Climate change and "the green movement", is something most people can get behind at face value. Unfortunately through this front they plan to increase energy cost on consumers through creative taxes, encourage depopulation, and basically whittle us down to a manageable sized slave class so they can continue living life by sucking it out of others. As chaotic as it seems it has all been planned.

"Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws."
--Baron M.A. Rothschild
When you control the money you control the politicians, get it?
Bernanke delivers blunt warning on U.S. debt He's saying that the FED will no longer be the buyer of last resort for U.S. Debt. What he's really saying is the worldwide banking cartel is loyal to international commerce not to the interest to the United States or the people living here. Then again neither is our "leadership" they spent us into an unsustainable debt as instructed. Now the fed has drawn the line in the sand. When the next bond auction fails they will only be able to sell bonds by raising interest rates. Get ready for the biggest depression ever. This will be the open door to usher in the "solutions".
Cybersecurity bill to give president new emergency powers Our last vestige of free speech and real news will be shut off at some point in the future. They fear freedom of thought that they don't control. CNN recently aired a special called "cybershock wave" in which they outlined how they would shut down the Internet and declare martial law during a false flag attack against our infrastructure. We've been warned. Learn about shortwave and ham radio, learn how to protect electronics in the event of an emp.
A friend of mine has said we need a “people’s Tea Party” without politicians trying to take control of it. He told me of a growing number of people planning a silent protest on April 15. He said that they plan to withdraw all their money from the banks on that day. He explained to me the beauty of this action is that it doesn’t require you to make a sign, drive to the capital, or stand in the cold. It's completely legal and you don’t need to lose your voice yelling and screaming either. You simply go to the bank all on the same day and withdraw your account to the bare minimum or nothing at all. He said if you’re worried about carrying that kind of money, you simply put it in a safety deposit box in the same bank. He said it will have the same effect either way, as long as the funds come off the bank balance sheets it will send a shock wave through the system that the government won’t be able to ignore. A $14 trillion dollar federal debt is a disgusting abuse of the American taxpayer. Enough is enough. You don’t need to sign a petition or call your congressman all you have to do on April 15 is take your money back. Don’t forget to tell your friends and your friend's friends.
Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor; by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources. This process is the origin of property. But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder. Now since man is naturally inclined to avoid pain - and since labor is pain in itself - it follows that men will resort to plunder whenever plunder is easier than work. When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. -Frederick Bastiat, Economist, Statesman

We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are U.S. government institutions. They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies; domestic swindlers, rich and predatory money lenders which prey up on the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. The Federal Reserve Banks are the agents of the foreign central banks. The truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States by the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board. -75th Congressional Record 12595-12603

Mercury is one of the most toxic substances you can put in a human body. It is a heavy metal known to contribute to neurological disorders, including autism, dementia, and even Alzheimer's disease. Mercury also tends to build up in tissues in the human body and is not easily removed, so even small exposures to mercury can accumulate over time and end up compromising the health of the person involved. It's vital you do the proper research before you plan to get any sort of vaccine injected in you especially if you are planning to have your children vaccinated. Also if you need dental work done refuse Mercury amalgam fillings. Instead request modern resin composite fillings, they are white and match your teeth, they also bond to tooth enamel better, and most importantly they are not made with neurotoxin. If you have had Mercury amalgam fillings have them removed and replaced. Because of the toxicity of mercury they recommend that you only have one removed per month. See a dentist that specializes in the removal of mercury fillings.
What's most puzzling is that mercury amalgam is legally treated as a highly dangerous material before it is placed in your mouth and after it is removed but not while it's in there.
The Fluoride Deception - Dentist Reveals Shocking Truth
A dentist of 30 years reveals the dangers of fluoride and how it is actually harmful for us contrary to government claims as being beneficial for us. Fluoride is being used in our drinking water and in our toothpaste and most people do not even realize that sodium fluoride was used in Nazi Germany to keep the prisoners dumb, obedient and pacified as they accepted the tyranny and oppression against them without resistance.
Lastly...
A&E 9/11 Truth - 2 Planes...3 Buildings...DO THE MATH!
February 24, 2010 "Washington Times" -- A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.
"In order to bring down this kind of mass in such a short period of time, the material must have been artificially, exploded outwards," says Richard Gage, a San Francisco architect and founder of the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Mr. Gage, who is a member of the American Institute of Architects, managed to persuade more than 1,000 of his peers to sign a new petition requesting a formal inquiry.
"The official Federal Emergency Management [Agency] and National Institute of Standards and Technology reports provide insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction. We are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials," Mr. Gage adds.
The technical issues surrounding the collapse of the towers has prompted years of debate, rebuttal and ridicule.
He is particularly disturbed by Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper, which was not hit by an aircraft, yet came down in "pure free-fall acceleration." He also says that more than 100 first-responders reported explosions and flashes as the towers were falling and cited evidence of "multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft. at 60 mph" and the "mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking."
There is also evidence of "advanced explosive nano-thermitic composite material found in the World Trade Center dust," Mr. Gage says. The group's petition at www. ae911truth.org is already on its way to members of Congress.
"Government officials will be notified that 'Misprision of Treason,' U.S. Code 18 (Sec. 2382), is a serious federal offense, which requires those with evidence of treason to act," Mr. Gage says. "The implications are enormous and may have profound impact on the forthcoming Khalid Shaikh Mohammed trial."
Citigroup Warns Customers It May Refuse To Allow Withdrawals I suggest we all stop using banks. They bring the economy crashing down, then steal HUGE amounts of money from us, now they want to keep you from withdrawing money from your personal accounts. Tired of being abused and mistreated yet?
(send this video to your representatives when they tell you they need to raise taxes)
PS~ I just watched some crap tonight on CNN "Simulated Cyber Shockwave" baloney. They talked about how they would need to deploy troops to "protect" us. So, read between the lines. The globalist are planning a false flag attack on our power grid and Internet. After the deceivers commit this attack they are going to use it as an excuse to declare martial law. Prepare yourselves.
I am again going to refrain from presenting anything but solution based information on this post. First I want to show a video, ( sorry if your on dial up).
Plugging into the Internet for information is the best way to keep informed. The Internet is interactive and self directed, television forces a point of view on the participant.
A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people. ~James Madison
In the video the narrator talks about looking for a weakness and exploiting it. Just as Luke Skywalker exploited the weakness of the all powerful Death star, I think we should brainstorm ways to fix things without a huge show of force. And for all the FBI agents reading I don't mean an attack (it's a metaphor.) Trying to take this country back by force may be possible but would be a tough battle. The government has all the money and weapons. They have BIG weapons, us landless peasant slaves are not aloud to have those. Further more, why the hell should we have to fight!? We shouldn't have to feel as though we are in constant defense of the constitution by the very people who swear to protect it. The government belongs to us as does this country. Why do we let a group of 500 smucks dictate how 300,000,000 of us should live? Our greatest asset is our numbers. If we were to loosely unite and together move towards restoring sanity I don't think we could be stopped. The governments main power over us is fear, if they put enough of it into you as an individual you comply without them even doing anything to you. If the silent majority would speak up it might rattle them a bit. I believe it could be as simple as reasserting our ownership of the united states.
By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt. ~James Madison
The government couldn't have grown into the big ugly mess it is today without the Federal Reserve attached to their hip. The bank has enabled the government to do whatever it wants without the input of the people. The Fed just prints money for the whims of congress, then the people are unconstitutionally forced to pay the interest on that debt.
All that seems indispensable in stating the account between the dead and the living, is to see that the debts against the latter do not exceed the advances made by the former. ~James Madison
I like James Madison I've got a bunch of quotes here....
Each generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expense of other generations. ~James Madison
(Bush, Cheney, and all those that vote to continue spending should bear the brunt of this one)
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. ~James Madison
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. ~James Madison
(patriot act, warrant less wiretapping, ect...)
It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad. ~James Madison
(Can you hear this guy? The people who founded this nation weren't stupid)
Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages. ~James Madison
No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. ~James Madison
The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy. ~James Madison
The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. ~James Madison
The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. ~James Madison
To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. ~James Madison
War should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits. ~James Madison
It seems doom and gloom are not popular topics. I checked the stats and It seems I'm really not getting too much interest on this site. Maybe everybody already knows that things are fucked up and are tired of hearing about it. Perhaps people are more interested in solutions than what's wrong. As far as solutions go I'm open to suggestions. The founding fathers said they were led by divine providence. Maybe I need to develop a stronger faith that things are going to be alright. Or get comfortable with the fact that things may not be alright in the near term but hopefull things will get better in the future. Or be greatfull things are still pretty good right now. At any rate I think I will change the direction of this blog to seek out solutions rather than presenting various forms of the problem.
Ok, so here are some random solutions in no particular order.
* Be more self sufficient, try to live seprate from and outside the system. * Use the barter system instead of the Feds dirty fiat money. * Promote a local currency in your community. * Grow your own chemical free food. * Buy local (monsanto free) organic food from your local farmers market. * Make more of your own stuff. * Buy local, support your community. * Boycott chain stores, resturaunts, walmarts, etc... * Cut up your credit cards, using them raises the price for all of us and only profits the banks. * Be a leader, share what you know with people in your community. * Fix it and use it some more before you throw it away. * Keep an open mind. * Call your Senators and Congressman and tell them what to do! * Sign petitions * Visit the forest to get your mind straight once in awhile. * Treat people with love and respect. (you attract more flies with honey than vinegar) AHA that's why nobody reads this blog :-P * Try not to buy much gasoline, make biodiesel, run your car on woodgas, get an electric car, ride a bike, walk, hitch a ride with a friend. (I know, I'm addicted too....if only it was still $1.25 gal....) * Eat less * Exercise more * Know your rights and exercise those too. * Have fun * Keep in touch with people * live like you mean it
Television is the most powerful weapon of psychological warfare in history and yet it is a member of the family in most households. The programming that we are constantly assaulted with conditions us to a particular worldview. This fake reality changes our behavior making us less active and more compliant with society's shortcomings.
Since television is controlled by a small handful of powerful corporations, viewers will never witness informing, truthful news and entertainment. As political and corporate power unite at an ever increasing rate, being informed is more important than ever.
People need to seek out independent and alternative unbiased sources on the internet for their information or we will continue to be manipulated by the corporate controlled media.
Under the guise of “protecting Americans” and so-called “national security,” the current Obama administration wants to be able to control the ability of people and organizations to access the Internet.
After 45 years of service to the newly created United States, George Washington published a message to the American people; the summation of what he most wanted to contribute to Americans’ understanding of defending our Constitutional government.
Washington’s Farewell Address is considered so important that it is read in its entirety every year in the Senate, and has been read in one or both chambers of Congress every year since 1862.
It is unfortunate that we live in a shell of what this country once was. Un-elected parasites have taken over. The country has been whittled down to the core of the Constitution and they are trying to skirt around those rights with force and fancy legal jargon. They use their media businesses to control the views of the masses. They tell us that this is America land of the free. We live in a distant echo of what the writers of the constitution had envisioned. We haven't properly learned from our past and we are now the victims of the same tyrants our founding father had fought.
Don't be fooled by the Republicratic system, the elitist want nothing more than for us to narrowly conform our views to one side or the other and then fight amongst ourselves. To divide and concur is one of the oldest tricks in the book. We need to recognize that it is a one party system falsely parading itself as a democratic republic. We need to unite America! Learn to see through the deception of our common enemy and rid ourselves of them like the cancer they are.
The FBI and other police agencies don't need to obtain a search warrant to learn the locations of Americans' cell phones, the U.S. Department of Justice told a federal appeals court in Philadelphia on Friday.
Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups. As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs," according to the White House Web site.
Sunstein, whose article focuses largely on the 9/11 conspiracy theories, suggests that the government "enlist nongovernmental officials in the effort to rebut the theories. It might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts."
Sunstein "wants to hold blogs and web hosting services accountable for the remarks of commenters on websites while altering libel laws to make it easier to sue for spreading 'rumors
There is an established legal principle that people should not have to repay their government’s debt to the extent that it is incurred to launch aggressive wars or to oppress the people.
These “odious debts” are considered to be the personal debts of the tyrants who incurred them, rather than the country’s debt.
Wikipedia gives a good overview of the principle: Odious Debt
Even though I only have two readers and one of them is an FBI agent with the domestic spying program at least someone is reading...
Politics is not a fun topic to talk about for most people. I know lots of people that would rather change the subject. It's more fun to watch american idol than it is to be concerned with political happenings. Unfortunetly whether you participate or not decisions are made everyday that dictate how you will be allowed to live your life. Laws are past by a majority vote (the majority who participates.) I don't agree with "Representative" governance. There is no possible way that some jerk can accurately represent the views of a group of people larger than himself. The whole idea of representation is outdated. Back before we had telephones and internet maybe you needed to send somebody to represent your group, but not anymore. It's easy to bribe a few Representatives into doing something bad for those they represent. If we all had an equal say you'd have to improve everyones life to gain their support. You couldn't call it bribary anymore. We need to get active. Whether we like it or not, even if we don't care about our own life the next generation is going to get it worse. The founding fathers told us if we traded liberty for security we would have neither. They where right, the only security in life is that which you create yourself and cultivate within your community. It is not passed down from beaurocrats, they don't make anything productive for society. Politians create debt and they take away freedoms. We need to keep the pressure on them to stop what they're doing, they are the cause of our problems.
anyhow....
Paramilitary Thugs Steal Private Arms Collection
Police say man with weapons cache was preparing for 'Armageddon'
February 11, 2010 12:43 AM
“We feel our community is safer having this kind of weaponry off the street,” intoned a spokesman for the Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts police department Granted, the invocation of that cliche is part of the familiar gun-grabber liturgy, but it doesn’t apply here, since the “weaponry” referred to was never on the “street” to begin with. It consisted of several firearms legally purchased by 45-year-old Gregory D. Girard, a computer consultant whose wife — was her maiden name Morozov, perchance? — told the authorities about her husband’s supposedly alarming view that martial law is imminent.
Since it is unacceptable for people to believe that government agents will carry out paramilitary raids to confiscate firearms, a paramilitary force was sent to Girard’s home to confiscate his firearms.
Those weapons are now “safely” in the hands of the most dangerous criminal element in any society — the people who pull triggers and commit other acts of violence on behalf of the political class.
The statist stenographers in the local press breathlessly describe Girard’s collection of “approximately twenty” firearms — all legally purchased and duly registered — as “an alarming, nearly military-grade stockpile.” In addition to the firearms, Girard’s supposedly menacing arms cache included “several tear gas grenades and explosive pepper ball projectiles” as well as “four police batons” he had “illegally” acquired.
That’s right: Civilian disarmament is not limited to “gun control,” but includes “club control,” as well.
In the hands of the armed servants of the tax-feeding class, tear gas, pepper spray, and batons are considered “less-than-lethal” weaponry. But Girard, as a mere Mundane, isn’t permitted to own tear gas grenades and pepper ball rounds; accordingly, he was charged with four counts of possessing “an infernal device” and four counts of possessing a “dangerous weapon.” Girard also reportedly converted his third story into an “illegal indoor firing range,” complete with what was described as an “illegal ballistic plate” (apparently possession of metal plates of a certain thickness is now impermissible without explicit government permission). Abetted by the self-serving comments of the police who stole Girard’s property and the prosecutors who collaborated in that crime, media accounts are slathered with slimy insinuations that Girard is mentally unbalanced. (His wife, with whom he apparently has a troubled relationship, is a psychiatrist.)
Whatever we learn about Girard’s personal issues, this episode involves a dramatic and terrifying exercise of pre-emptive civilian disarmament.
Whatever happens to Gregory Girard, we’re likely to see much more of this kind of thing as the Homeland Security State expands and fortifies itself. God help us.
Internet Censorship Protest Shuts Down Australian Government Websites
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Thursday, February 11, 2010
Hackers protesting government censorship of the Internet have shut down several Australian government websites in a demonstration against the announcement that filters would be imposed to block access to websites deemed offensive by the authorities.
The campaign was launched in response to plans to implement a mandatory and wide-ranging internet filter modeled on that of the Communist Chinese government.
This is not the first time the group has attacked government websites, having launched a similar stunt last September.
“The main government website, www.australia.gov.au, and parliament’s www.aph.gov.au were both affected along with the sites for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy,” reports AFP.
“No one messes with our access to perfectly legal (or illegal) content for any reason,” said a statement released by the group.
The Australian government attacked the campaign as “not a legitimate form of political statement.”
Despite the Australian government promising that the Internet filter would only be used to block access to child pornography and other illegal websites, the watchdog group Electronic Frontiers Australia warned that the law will also allow the government to block any website it desires under vague definitions.
In March 2009, the Wikileaks website published a leaked secret list of sites slated to be blocked by Australia’s state-sponsored parental filter.
The list revealed that blacklisted sites included “online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist.”
The filter will even block web-based games deemed unsuitable for anyone over the age of fifteen, according to the Australian government.
Calls to mandate Internet users to obtain licenses, in other words government permission, before they can post to the web have grown in recent weeks, with top Microsoft executive Craig Mundie insisting at the recent Davos Economic Forum that the Internet should be policed.
Within days, Time Magazine enthusiastically jumped on the bandwagon to back Mundie’s proposal, as authorities push for a system even more stifling than in Communist China, where only people who have been approved by the authorities would be allowed to express free speech.
ISPs across the world, including in supposed democratic countries like the UK, the US and New Zealand, have periodically blocked access to Alex Jones’ websites without justification and only restored access after a barrage of complaints.
As we have highlighted before, although the merits of hacking as a form of protest can be debated, what seems certain to happen is that governments will launch a false flag cyber attack which will cause a major catastrophe that can then be blamed on the free Internet, acting as a pretext to tighten the screws on plans for centralized regulation and censorship which are already in place.
Watch the video below in which Alex Jones exposes the incremental deployment of Chinese style Internet censorship across the world.
Again I want to remind everybody that they have put the reauthorization of the "patriot act" into the new jobs bill. Call your senators NOW! Tell them no more domestic spying. It is mis worded unpatriotic disaster. No more spying, no more illegal wire taps, or records kept on american citizens!
The balance of power seems to sway back and forth through history. The poor persecuted people of the past now have their turn at the helm. Just as they felt in the past they now make the rest of the world feel. Life is like school, we need to learn the lessons of the past in order to have a happy and balanced future. The old saying that “power corrupts and absolutely power corrupts absolutely” is true. The important lesson to take from this is that we need to treat our neighbors as ourselves. Our neighbors really are ourselves just as this whole planet is one living thing. The more we pollute the air, water, and soil the more polluted we become. It’s good to give everyone a chance to see the view from the top. But anyone who hasn’t learned from the past cannot hold that position. You cannot maintain your position on top by kicking and shoving your way up a mound of people. The suppressed people will come to despise you as you had once despised your tyrants. Telling lies only works to hold onto the power in the short term. Once the lie is exposed the people will hate the liars even more~
Here is an interesting read on~ The Virtues of War (By Major General Smedley Butler)
More good stuff off the net. I am in complete support of local and regional currencies that would directly compete with the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank.
Local merchants reject the house of cards built on the US dollar
Deep in the Missouri Ozarks, a new community currency has appeared to meet the needs of the people. Joshua Deatherage, a local contractor who wears a half-dozen hats to feed his family of four children in Cabool, Missouri, is responsible for creating the new silver based Community Dollar. And it's neither a Jed and Boys nor a Liberty Dollar venture.
As Deatherage explains, "I started thinking about a local silver currency the day after the Liberty Dollar was raided by the FBI." He was concerned that the first value based currency might not survive so his new Community Dollar is only intended to circulate in central Missouri.
After three-and-a-half years, the young monetary entrepreneur who wanted to encourage local trade and commerce in his community, reports that over 60 merchants around Cabool and Mountain Grove are now using his Silver Community Dollar.
Recently, when Deatherage stopped by the local tire shop for repairs, the owner told him that he had received $100 in Community Dollars towards a set of tires from the local bar owner. That man told him he usually went out of town to Wal-Mart, but decided to spend his local currency closer to home. The tire shop owner then used the $100 at a Cabool clothing store that he sheepishly confessed he had never visited before. This is how a local community currency grows in small town America - one transaction at a time.
So who uses the $80,000 in Community Dollars that now circulate around the central Ozark area? "Just regular folks." Deatherage says, "People use the money for a wide variety of goods and services. Around here, you can get clothing and food. And the bar and restaurants accept it, too. You can get almost anything you want or need with the silver Community Dollars."
Deatherage's new Community Dollar is available in four convenient denominations in pure .999 fine silver and a $2 copper denomination. The silver issue consists of a $50 piece that weights one Troy ounce, the $20 weighs two-fifths of an ounce, the $10 weighs one-fifth of an ounce and the $5 weighs one-tenth of an ounce. They all feature an oak tree with "Faith - Family - Freedom" on the obverse.
First off I'd like to give a short review of a movie I watched tonight called "Panic in Year Zero!" It's an oldie from 1962 in black and white. I found the movie to be simple and entertaining. The classic TEOTWAWKI story. I thought that it was a pretty accurate depiction of what facing an event like that may be like. I thought it gave some pretty sensible advise on dealing with such an event as far as preparedness and mental fortitude. I think we could only hope to be as level headed as the character playing the father was. I guess while I'm at it I could recommend a couple of books I've read recently before going on to the news....
"World made by hand" by James Howard Kunstler This book came out after Kunstlers book "The Long Emergency" that was a non-fiction read basically spelling out all the reasons why we shouldn't expect humans to continue on business as usual for much longer. Interestingly enough that book came out in 2005 and predicted the coming market crash that we are now experiencing. I'd recommend it too. The "World mad by hand" is a novel of a small town in upstate New York post collapse and how they deal with it. The book is very well written. I think I may have finished the book in 2 days, I couldn't put it down.
"Patriots" James Wesley Rawles This is a novel about post collapse survival and preparedness. The book is extremely descriptive and has some very good information in it. It is sort of like a survival manual that reads like a story. Rawles is ex-military and runs Survival Blog. He post everyday and has lots of good info on his site some of which you may find me re-posting here from time to time.
"1984" by George Orwell A real classic, it fits our times now more than ever. I did a lengthy review of this book that I may post here soon. A must read...
I'm also partway into Ron Pauls "Revolution" and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley right now, I let you know...
Off the subject....I think following your heart and doing gods will (or the will of the force if you want) are the same. I believe in a powerful compassionate energy that makes up the universe. I believe it has a plan and I also believe that we are a part of that plan. To the extent that we become a useful part of the plan depends on how open we are in letting this energy into our lives. The more open we make ourselves the more useful we become. When we are busy with our own plans there is no room in our lives to be a part of the bigger plan. I think we can choose, I think we are more satisfied though when we make the decision to be a part of the big plan. I feel it's in our hearts to do so.
New mandates would make vitamins a controlled substance (this video is older but it gives you some background if you haven't heard of this yet)
Tell your reps to oppose! Senate bill 3002, the "Dietary Supplement Safety Act"
Are you seeing the pattern? They put soft fuzzy names on these bills to make you feel like it's ok that it's for your own good, WRONG! And while your on the phone with your representatives tell them don't you dare reauthorize the patriot act.
Taking away our freedoms is not Patriotic. In fact, there is nothing more un-American.
The badly misnamed Patriot Act is not the Act of Patriots. It is the act of petty tyrants seeking more and more power and control over our country.
Now, ever so quietly they are trying to sneak reauthorization of the Patriot Act through without creating a stir among liberty-minded Americans.
We’ve all heard the defenses. How the Patriot Act was needed to combat “terrorism.” How it would not be used against U.S. citizens.
How it would not be abused.
These lies have all been clearly exposed. For eight years, the American people have ignored the wisdom of our founding fathers and traded freedom for security – and as predicted, we are losing both as a result.
And now, Congress and the White House are set to reauthorize the so-called Patriot Act.
They have until the end of this month to act. The Mainstream Media, fixated on Obama and tea party rallies, doesn’t say a word about it.
Patriot Act should be scrapped, to prevent federal snoops from casting fishing nets over the lives, histories and data of hard-working Americans.
The weak link for the snoop-state insiders remains the U.S. Senate -- where one Big Government boondoggle after another has been bottled up or defeated.
That’s why you need to demand your senators allow the Patriot Act to expire.
If we do not stop this reauthorization, we’ll see a whole lot more of what we’ve gotten over the last eight years:
*** Federal and State law enforcement searching telephone, email, medical, financial, and other records looking for a needle in a haystack – abridging the freedom of law abiding citizens everywhere.
*** Warrantless searches and roving wiretaps, paying telephone providers for access to TRILLIONS of phone records and ignoring Fourth Amendment protections.
*** Broad powers for the Treasury Department and Immigrations Department to rewrite regulations, access records, and conduct proceedings in secret.
*** Holding American citizens in violation of their constitutional rights simply because someone in the government has declared them an “enemy combatant.”
*** Vast amounts of electronic data on virtually every American swept up by insider arrangements and purchases from phone companies, airlines and other businesses afraid to say no to a government “request.”
This isn’t some conspiracy theory. This is happening all around us.
We can stop it.
One of the most egregious abuses of the Constitution, using the Patriot Act as its basis, is so-called National Security letters, used commonly by the FBI.
It has been estimated that the FBI has used these NSLs – which allow access to records WITHOUT any court or search warrant – at least 50,000 times since 2001.
Just one example, noted in BusinessWeek in 2005, showed that the FBI had issued tens of thousands of NSLs and had obtained one million financial, credit, employment, and health records from the customers of targeted Las Vegas businesses. Selected businesses included casinos, storage warehouses and car rental agencies.
And that’s just one case.
Our federal government is out of control, and every day we see it attempting to abridge more of our constitutional rights.
We know they’d take away our Second Amendment rights in a heartbeat if they could, and we must also remain vigilant to this threat.
They’re spending us and our children into poverty, with crushing trillion dollar deficits.
And they’re allowing the out of control Fed to ruin the dollar and push forward toward the collapse of our currency and way of life.
All of these are vital fights.
But none are more critical at the moment than taking back our freedoms from the statists and power-hungry federal thugs who use the Patriot Act to dig into every aspect of American lives under the false pretense of making us safer.
We cannot be a free nation and have this un-American law on the books.
Liberty-minded Americans from the left and the right are outraged. But outrage alone won’t be enough. Every single one of us must take action today.
Public pressure works. Think of the agenda items that are stalled in Congress due to pressure from outraged citizens.
The time is now to turn our attention to stopping the Patriot Act in its tracks.
Let them hear us loud and clear. CALL YOUR SENATORS!
Ok so it looks like the last time I posted will be a year ago in a few more days...TOO LONG...I've gone to a much more annoying direct mailing approach to spread my propaganda, hehehe. I know some people are reading my emails because they send critical emails back. I appreciate that, it's nice to hear that somebody reads it even if they don't like it. I think though that instead of spamming everyone I know with what is going through my head at any given moment I'll just plaster it all over this page and give them the option to plug into my world if they choose. I may still send out an email alert from time to time if I think it's really necessary. I don't want to be thought of as the boy who cried wolf, but when they are filling firetrucks with the stuff and pointing the hose at the fan every day it's hard not to raise a fuss.
I hope this will be the first of many post this year. I hope to bring lots of alternative news to a growing audience over time and it would be great to make some new friends. Please subscribe, email and all that. I'm going to stick with it and hopeful post everyday. Thanks!
