Free kibbles

KEEP AND BEAR ARMS:

ATF tries to chance the definition of a shot-gun so it can bar the import of many.

ECONOMY:

World's most renowned prognosticator predicts food riots in the US in 2012. I've been saying people will starve in the streets. We're still at the very beginning of the greater depression, and most Americans don't realize it.

Prediction that gold and silver will continue to rise as stocks fall.

TAX AND SPEND:

More analysis shows how bankrupt both the Ryan and Obama plans are. None of the bigwigs in Washington are serious about cutting government.

Peter Schiff on the silly Standard & Poors announcement about US government debt.
"Given S&P's concerns that Congress will fail to address its long-term fiscal problems, on what basis can it conclude that the U.S. deserves its AAA credit rating? The highest possible rating should be reserved for fiscally responsible nations where the fiscal outlook is crystal clear. If S&P has genuine concerns that the U.S. will not deal with its out of control deficits, the AAA rating should be reduced right now."
Nobody at S&P thinks the government will ever pay off its debt. It hasn't paid it off since Andrew Jackson.
"The bottom line is that the AAA rating on U.S. sovereign debt is pure politics. S&P simply does not have the integrity to honestly rate U.S. debt. It has too cozy a relationship with the U.S. government and Wall Street to threaten the status quo. In fact, given the culpability of the rating agencies in the financial crisis, it may well be a quid pro quo that as long as the U.S.' AAA rating is maintained, the rating agencies will continue to enjoy their government sanctioned monopolies, and that no criminal or civil charges will be filed related to inappropriately rated mortgage-backed securities."
Government corrupts everything it touches.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

The University of Texas endowment fund purchases $1 billion in gold bullion to protect itself from Bernanke and Co.

EDUCATION:

Government has ruined higher education like everything else it touches.

HEALTH CARE:

Health benefits of probiotics.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

British media exposes a global warming fraud group funded by taxpayers that was connected to the whitewashed investigations of climategate.

Parody of Gore and Jones performed to Green Acres intro.

POLICE STATE:

Here's another example of how quickly government is conquering us.
"The family of Elsie Wenzel, a beloved school lunch lady who died at age 71, gathered for a memorial service at a funeral home in Hamilton (a small town near Trenton) on April 15. Charles Wenzel, one of her grandsons, "had ... something like a seizure," related Elsie's widower, Edward, in an interview with The Trentonian. The family called 911 to summon the paramedics. Unfortunately, if you call the paramedics, the police are part of the package deal, whether they're wanted or not – and they have an unfailing talent for making matters worse.When Charles had another convulsion, he committed the unpardonable offense of defiling one of the sanctified bully-boys through physical contact. This constitutes "battery on an officer," and so the offended cop and several of his boyfriends attempted to handcuff Charles while he was lying on the ground receiving medical treatment."We didn't call you for this!" exclaimed a witness as several other people, including a granddaughter of the deceased, tried to intervene to protect Charles from the criminal assault. The officers responded by pepper-spraying the mourners and throwing several of them – including Edward's middle-aged granddaughter – to the ground. One of the officers called in a report that a "riot" was in progress – "riot" being defined as any situation in which Mundanes loudly criticize the anointed purveyors of consecrated violence for their crimes against innocent people. Apparently the funeral parlor was located near a donut shop, because within seconds at least a dozen police vehicles were on the scene.One of Elsie's sons, who was to be a pallbearer at the funeral, was jumped by "seven or eight" of the armed tax-feeders and thrown to the floor of the funeral parlor, Edward Wenzel reported. Another eyewitness who drove by the scene was alarmed to see police swarming four other prone, helpless men.
By one account, at least a half-dozen of the pallbearers were arrested to sent to the hospital as a result of gang violence by the police."
When will we end it is a good question.

WAR:

Theory that the west started a war with Libya to kick China out of Africa and control all of the Med. Somebody bombed Qaddafi's headquarters.

Leaked documents from Guantanamo show:
"Again and again, what stands out from these stories is not some as yet undiscovered horror from the secretive steel-barred and orange-suited compound, but the chaos, the confusion and the casualness of it all. The people who ran this place were not deceived. They too could see that this was not the distillation of evil that the American government claimed it to be, but a shambolic catch from a trawl whose nets had dragged in all sorts of people, many of them by mistake."
That's the problem when the enemy refuses to wear uniforms. There's should have been a process for identifying terrorists from non-terrorists, and maybe they tried to do it, but if they did, they did it badly.

POLITICS:

The tea partiers are livid at Boehner, but until they identify a candidate to run against him and start funneling money into his campaign, it's nothing but hot air. Anybody who expected Republicans to do anything different was fooling themselves.

MISC:

It looks like Atlas Shrugged is a money loser.

The truth about the Titanic.

Blue jeans turn 160.
