The division of labor enabled man to live beyond a subsistence level. The greater the division of labor in a society, the richer that society. But today we see more and more people resorting to growing their own food to address food security concerns. That tells us the division of labor is breaking down under the burden of government. Civilization is breaking down. We've moving backwards toward a subsistence level society.
TAX AND SPEND:
Conservative propagandists love the Ryan budget for its aggressiveness. Liberal propagandists hate it for its aggressiveness. But there's nothing aggressive about it.
"Ryan's "radical" budget would only reduce government spending to 20% of GDP by 2015. Obama wants to cut it to 23%. It is currently at 25%. In other words, there's only a 3 percentage point difference between Ryan's proposal and that of wild spending Democrats. And, this of course is before all the Congressional horse trading that goes on that would surely boost spending levels."It's all a charade to make us think Republicans are serious about cutting the budget, when in fact this plan continues to grow the budget, just slightly more slowly than Obama's budget.
The looming Social Security disaster. It's much closer than even most critics think.
FEDERAL RESERVE:
Fed agents put together a bogus study so they could claim that their inflationary monetary policy causes prices to fall. I'm not joking. You can't make this stuff up.
"What they are doing here is assuming the only impact that LSAP has on the market is the impact that occurs on the day of the announcement. There is no basis for this."The Fed economists know that. They know this study is a load of crap. They know their policies are creating price inflation. They just did it to confuse people. This is evil.
EDUCATION:
How government including schools funnels people into bureaucratic structures.
Wind farms produce significantly less power than advertised.
"Wind farms are much less efficient than claimed, producing below 10% of capacity for more than a third of the time, according to a new report."Imagine that. Wind farms only exist because they're funded by money stolen from taxpayers at the point of the government's gun, so they're inherently corrupt.
POLICE STATE:
The national ID card is so last year. Interpol wants a global ID card.
Reminding us that judges are tyrants, federal judge orders woman to appear for jury duty indefinitely.
TSA doesn't have enough female gropers to grope all the women the men pick out to watch being groped.
The ugly truth behind our justice system:
"Wrongful convictions existed before the Progressive Era, but the wrongness was not institutionalized the way it is now. This state of affairs does not exist because people make genuine errors in judgment or identification, but rather because it is in the interest of those who are employed by this system to put innocent people on trial, falsely accuse them, and throw them into prison."The judge, the prosecutor, the police, the advocates, the experts and all too often the defense attorney are all part of team confiscation. They steal their money from taxpayers, and the more convictions they get, the more money they get to steal. Justice is not their concern.
WAR:
If China didn't want the US to aid the Libyan rebels, it could have vetoed the UN resolution.
FOREIGN POLICY:
The overthrow of the Saudi royal family would be the mother of all blowbacks against the US government policy of propping up tyrants.
"The United States cannot allow new revolutionary governments outside our control to replace current regimes with political leaders which could threaten the dollar, our national debt and the US economy. If this becomes a risk, I fear the US military could be ordered to intervene and do whatever is necessary to either prop up or install new governments that will still continue to price oil in dollars. Frankly speaking should this situation develop, this may actually be the only way to defend a collapsing fiat dollar regardless of my personal views against military intervention."The Fed is at the heart of the problem again.
"The US should have learned from Iraq and Afghanistan how the law of unintended consequences from aggressive military, political or covert actions in a complex system like the Middle East can often create undesirable outcomes far different from what was hoped. Just as our invasion of Iraq destroyed the major bulwark against Shiite Iran and actually created another Iranian ally. Also our Afghanistan venture destabilized Pakistan, and today the freedom revolutions are slowly surrounding the House of Saud and the major Persian Gulf oil producing and US debt holding nations. We should also remember how our blind backing of the Shah of Iran and his excesses helped bring about the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the Khomeini led Islamic state and the problems we are dealing with today."Government views its every failure as a failure to use enough force. The only lesson government ever learns is that it needs to use more force next time. Claim that the reason for all the wars in the Middle East is to insure that those nations only sell their oil in dollars so the dollar will remain the world's reserve currency despite the Fed's depreciation of it. This is also explains why Obama invested in developing the Brazilian oil reserves: to insure Brazil will only sell that oil in dollars.
POLITICS:
Praise for Liberty Defined. I think this book release was timed to launch Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign. I'm glad to see he didn't duck the abortion issue.
MISC:
Democracy does not protect liberty.
