SOCIALISM:

Obama attacks business owners again.

"Just when employers were getting less fearful about what President Obama might do next to worsen the business climate, the National Labor Relations Board (now with its first Democratic majority in a decade) announced on December 14 that, under a newly proposed federal rule, private employers will be required to display pro-unionizing posters in their businesses."

He's not content with all the damage he's already done. He hasn't succeeded in collapsing our economy and starting the revolution he thinks we'll have yet. We have nobody but ourselves to blame for this because we gave government's criminal gang their guns and we empowered them to point those guns at our heads. Claiming we only wanted the criminal gangsters to point their guns at our heads in some cases but not others is useless because now they have the guns so they use them in their own interests, not ours.

ECONOMY:

Prediction that the renminbe will replace the dollar as the world reserve currency. Not until the Chinese de-link it from the dollar, and when that happens, it's going to hurt us a lot.

TAX AND SPEND:

Pat Buchanan lays out a smorgasbord of Republicans special interests, all of whom will fight budget cuts.

"After all, FDR's New Deal was never repealed. It was confirmed by President Eisenhower. Lyndon Johnson's Great Society was never repealed. It was consolidated by Richard Nixon. Even Ronald Reagan conceded that he had failed to control federal spending, though he cut taxes and regulations. Then came Bush I and Bush II, both of whom were, in Fred Barnes' description, "Big Government Conservatives.""

That's what it means to be a conservative: to accept the status quo. By definition, conservatives don't want change, and that means they can't be counted on to improve anything. You never hear a conservative calling for a reduction to spending back to pre-Reagan levels like they did in 1980. Conservatives accept the existing status quo, and all they want to do is stop changing from it.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Tracking the differences between the Austrian-based True Money Supply (TMS) and the flawed money supplies (M1 and M2 and possibly M3 though the Fed no longer publishes it and claims to no longer track it) tracked by the Fed. Thanks to Bernanke, the differences are huge.

"Chairman Bernanke, perhaps the world’s most activist central banker, who just so happens to think that economic growth and financial stability can be achieved by printing money, is living in the world of perception.  Those mainstreams M’s are telling him the money supply is stagnant.  The reality is anything but.  The problem, or should I say the arbitrage opportunity is this – Bernanke is acting in accordance with his perception and he is gunning and apt to continue gunning the money supply.  The reality is the money supply is anything but stagnant and because of Bernanke’s actions is set to go higher still."

Inflation is here, but Bernanke's statistics, corrupted by government to benefit the government, don't show it. Charts in the article show:

"Monetary inflation is alive and well still, and Bernanke we think remains clueless."

I doubt Bernanke is clueless of TMS. He may ignore it, but I bet the Fed tracks it because he doesn't want to look ignorant when Ron Paul asks him about it. I also think he knows darn good and well he's destroying the dollar even though he pedantically blames his Keynesian models. But it's important to understand that Bernanke was appointed to this job specifically because he was dedicated to drastic inflation of the dollar to supposedly boost the economy. As with all things government, the worst people, the most violent people (and make no mistake, Ben Bernanke is stealing our wealth on a massive scale at the point of the government's gun), the biggest looters, rise to the top. Here's the advice:

"We say, time to arbitrage.  And what might that arbitrage be?  Notwithstanding the inevitable fits and starts, to go long things that benefit from monetary inflation and short things that don’t, because monetary inflation is currently more than most people think, including the guy likely to make it go even higher."

It sounds like advice to buy gold and short the dollar.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Not only did the global warming frauds block attempts to build a flood control system that would have controlled this Australian flood so nobody would have died, but they also blame the flood on global warming.

UVA has spent $500,000 on lawyers fighting the order to deliver documents relating to Mann's work when it would have only cost $8,000 to deliver the documents. All this money is tax money. UVA is wasting taxpayer money fighting against releasing documents that were funded by taxpayer money. This is what happens when we empower government to steal from us.

Global warming isn't killing penguins. Tagging them is.

POLICE STATE:

Unflattering insight into new House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King.

"Among the documents made public by WikiLeaks is one that could be of particular interest to King – a February 2010 CIA "Red Cell Special Memorandum" – an "out-of-the-box" analysis examining "what it would mean for the US to be seen ... as an incubator and 'exporter of terrorism.'" For example: "Some Irish-Americans have long provided financial aid and material support for violent efforts to compel the United Kingdom to relinquish control of Northern Ireland.... The US-based Irish Northern Aid Committee (NORAID), founded in the late 1960s, provided the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) with money that was frequently used for arms purchases."

NORAID was designated by the Justice Department as an arm of the IRA more than thirty years ago. King, whose Long Island district has a large and well-organized Irish-American constituency, was one of the group's most effective fundraisers and one of the IRA's staunchest supporters."

How come this isn't mainstream news?

FOREIGN POLICY:

Free Gaza Youth manifesto. Bad language. They do a good job of identifying all the major players creating the strife there. But this conflict is thousands of years old. The names change, but the conflict remains.

POLITICS:

Having been punished by his fellow aristocrats for doing the same thing they all do, bitter Charlie Rangel speaks truth to power, pointing out that the life of government officials are no more important than anybody else's.

Congresswoman Gifford has opened her eyes. This is a positive sign and great news.
