Health care bill passes senate (HR 3590)
Mar 21, 2010 Federal Reserve, barack obama, economy, financial, news, politics
What a historic day. Today, in the halls of congress, our Senators drove the last nail in the coffin of the US economy. It is logical to believe that since the government has never been correct in their cost estimates, the health care bill, also known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will cost hundreds or even thousands percent more than estimated. In 1966, Medicare was estimated to cost $12 billion per year in 1990. Instead, it cost $107 billion, and today costs $408 billion per year. The Iraq war was estimated to cost $50-$60 billion, and today has cost more than $713 billion – and rising. Why should we believe that this health care bill will be any exception?
If indeed the true cost of the health care bill follows the historical pattern, we could see $10 trillion or more added to the already staggering $12.67 trillion. Tax receipts will not even pay for the interest on public debts. We are already at a point where even if the government taxed Americans 100% of their income, it would not be enough to balance the budget. Rather than taxing Americans 100% of their income, or cutting 100% of spending and entitlement payments such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, the government will more likely keep borrowing money from the federal reserve in order to monetize the debt – which will cause hyperinflation.
Expect double digit inflation by 2014. This is the new reality – no more fun and games America!

Bill O’Reilly supports the disarming of Americans
Feb 25, 2010 constitution, news, politics
While interviewing Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, Bill O’reilly justifies disarming American citizens, in direct violation of the 2nd amendment, during a “national emergency” such as hurricane Katrina – because of the looting and chaos that took place. We know that in New Orleans, weapons were confiscated from everyone, not just armed looters and people in the streets. Police forcefully entered homes and confiscated weapons from homeowners, even in upscale neighborhoods of the city. O’Reilly said that he supports the suspending of the constitution when authorities “can’t control the city”. Furthermore, O’Reilly asserts that it is a “pretty extreme position” to oppose unconstitutional policies during a “state of emergency” (which, I might add, is always vaguely defined and seems that lately, can be declared at any time, for any reason and under any circumstances that authorities feel is appropriate).
O’Reilly interviewed Steward Rhodes because of the statements of Mark Potok in a previous interview. Potok claims, in the interview, that members of the Oath Keepers are dangerous because they are joining as a reminder that they took an oath to first and foremost defend the constitution. I would argue that it is people like Potok who are dangerous – people who think that the Constitution only applies in situations where everything is peachy. Well, Potok, I have news for you – the Constitution applies at all times – not just when you or any other lawyer or government official thinks it does.

Big sister is watching you, health care propaganda
Oct 8, 2009 barack obama, investing, news, politics, trading
This is old news to some, but on the official white house blog, Linda Douglass, the communications director for the White House’s Health Reform Office, wants for you to report your neighbors to flag@whitehouse.gov if something they say sounds “fishy” regarding Barack Obama’s health insurance reform. The blog post features a video in which Linda Douglass uses Drudge Report as an example of what is misinformation. The Drudge Report linked to a video in which Barack Obama explains how his health care plan will eliminate private insurance. I’ve seen the video, and Obama clearly states that he happens to be “a proponent of a single payer universal health care plan”. How Linda Douglass thinks that statement could be interpreted in any other way, I’m not sure. Granted, in the video, Obama doesn’t really explain how his health care plan will eliminate private insurance, but he hints that he would like to see private insurance plans be phased out over the next 15 to 20 years and replaced by a single payer plan.
HR 1207 – Audit the Fed – now has 290 cosponsors
Sep 17, 2009 Campaign for Liberty, Federal Reserve, Ron Paul, constitution, economy, financial, news, politics
HR 1207 now having 290 cosponsors is a significant number because now two thirds of the house of representatives is cosponsoring the bill, which means that now the bill is eligible for consideration under suspension of house rules. What that means is that the bill can be expedited through the house, by means of being considered “under suspension”, allowing a two-thirds vote for final passage and limiting floor debate and prohibiting floor amendments. By prohibiting floor amendments, the house votes on the bill as amended, which is what Ron Paul and his cosponsors want for this bill – HR 1207 needs to stay exactly as it is – short and to the point – without being watered down and made ineffective by the global elite controlled politicians that wish to keep the Federal Reserve exactly where it is today – with a stranglehold on the American people.
This is great news – and if your congressman/woman hasn’t cosponsored HR 1207, ask them to cosponsor it today! Also ask your senators if they will cosponsor S 604!
For reference, the house bill HR 1207 is called the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009″ and S 604 is called “Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009″.
FREEDOM!!!!

HR 1207 hearing official! Audit the Fed
Sep 10, 2009 Campaign for Liberty, Ron Paul, constitution, economy, financial, news, politics
Hearings on HR 1207, Ron Paul’s Federal Reserve transparency bill, will be conducted on Friday, September 25th at 9 AM. This is confirmed by Ron Paul, who has confirmed with Barney Frank, the House financial services committee chairman.
Hopefully, HR 1207 will receive a standalone up or down vote on its own merits and will not be tacked onto another bill and watered down. Please contact your representatives and request that they first cosponsor the bill, and if they already have, ask that they support a standalone vote on HR 1207.
Why the not-so-federal reserve has been able to conduct its operations in near total secret to this date is completely beyond me. The American people are ready to find out where all the money has gone. Once they know, they will hopefully realize that the Federal Reserve has never been, and certainly is not now, necessary for the US economy to thrive. Congress should take back the power of money creation from the greedy, power hungry, unconstitutional financial overlord known as the federal reserve. Only then will we have a stable economy and a government that is truly limited in its spending abilities.
Be sure to watch the hearings on Friday, September 25th at 9:00 AM! This is history in the making!

CIA bidding on ad placement on youtube Israel Palestine Gaza conflict videos?
Sep 1, 2009 Israel/Palestine, news, world affairs
It could just be a coincidence, but it may not be – I was watching a video on Youtube the other day, which happened to be some documentary work on the Israel Palestine Gaza conflict, and a CIA recruiting ad is showing. Is this advertising targeted? If so, why are they targeting people watching these videos who most likely disagree with Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians living in Gaza?
Help Peter Schiff raise cash for his Senate run!
Aug 31, 2009 Campaign for Liberty, Peter Schiff, economy, financial, news, politics
Help Peter Schiff raise enough money ($1.5 million) to make a senate run that will give hardcore liberal Christopher Dodd a run for his money in Connecticut. Peter Schiff stands for small government, fiscal responsibility, and he has an extraordinary focus on monetary policy that we desperately need in the US Senate. Check out Peter Schiff for Senate online and if you can, donate to his campaign. Remember, you have nothing to lose by donating to Schiff’s campaign, because if he decides not to make his senate run official, he will refund every dollar he raises. However, we really want him to run, and WIN!
