SOCIALISM:

How government is rapidly ruining Lost Angeles and the parallel to what the federal government is doing to the entire country.

THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS:

It's nice to see somebody reminding people that Mitt Romney is anti-gun. I especially like how they say it:

"As Governor of Massachusetts, Romney gloated about signing a permanent “assault weapons” ban far worse than the ban pushed by Bill Clinton and Janet Reno.“[Semi-automatic firearms] are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people,” declared Romney in a press release touting his signature of the Massachusetts “assault weapons” ban in 2004.Mitt Romney views gun owners just like Obama does."

Mitt Romney is the Republican version of Barack Obama.

If British citizens had the right to keep and bear arms, the London riots would never have happened.

ECONOMY:

Pundit blames Ron Paul for the stock market crash and any future economic crash. I'm not joking. Actions don't matter. Debt doesn't matter. Stealing doesn't matter. Just the words of Ron Paul. This is like an anti-messiah version of this bizarre religious manipulation crap.

Boortz tees off on the supposedly inept and incompetent President Obama. I disagree. I think he's done a fine job at achieving his goal of collapsing the US economy under the burden of government. I'm gong to call him President Cloward & Piven from now on. This is important to realize: Obama can only get away with this in government. Imagine if he was the CEO of a company, and he tried to take down the company. What would happen? He'd be ousted very quickly. Government not only allows this kind of evil to flourish, it encourages it.

At 3pm the Dow was even. At close, it was up over 400. What the hell? The Fed's decision to keep interest rates low isn't new. Bernanke says he plans to keep rates near zero for an extended period every time he speaks. I bet the collapse resumes tomorrow.

How to move precious metals between countries.

TAX AND SPEND:

As expected, the Senate will hold hearings investigating S&P's downgrade of government bonds. That didn't take long.

It looks like USA Today polled a bunch of government-loving Americans so they could report that six out of ten wanted a compromise, i.e. tax hikes. I don't believe it.

REGULATION:

When you make mediocre products and sell them at high prices, you have to partner with government to shut down your competition like Apple did to Samsung in Europe. Apple is one of the best at this. That's why it's so successful.

The French monarch had people executed for copying popular fabric patterns. This is the real legacy of copyright.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

This tie between the Fed and the market exposes that the market is artificially inflated by the Fed.

"US stocks rose at the open today in a rebound from the previous session's nosedive.However, an upcoming Federal Reserve statement could spark a reversal if investors are not convinced it has a plan to combat a market meltdown."

For people in the market, of course they want the Fed to artificially inflate it at the expense of the rest of the country, but that's just stealing money and transferring it to stock holders, and we know who profits most from that.

EDUCATION:

This article exposes one way pollsters manipulate the people polled: by failing to explain the costs of policies. In this example 65 percent of those polls supported more money for education when no tax information was provided, but when when they learned their taxes would have to be raised, the number dropped to 35 percent.

HEALTH CARE:

The food safety crooks, I mean police, are indoctrinating children via a lego competition. This smacks of fascism.

GLOBAL WARMING:

Chicago carbon futures exchange closes down.

POLICE STATE:

Parallels between the riots in Britain and those in the Middle East. It's fine when rioters are bringing down oppressive foreign governments, but not when they're attacking the domestic oppressive government. This is why governments have been steadily seizing control of the internet. I like the reference to Hoppe and decivilizing effect of the welfare state, which is a natural result of democracy.

We finally get some details on the murder that sparked these riots. Police murdered a man named Mark Duggan, then claimed he fired at them first. An investigation has exposed that lie. This was just a typical murder of a civilian and cover-up by police offers, the same that happens every day in America, that the police always get away with it. I understand why the people who are afraid the police will murder them next are fed up with it. When the people who are supposed to uphold law are routinely murderers, civilization breaks down.

TSA saves air travelers from a college science fair experiment.

"An Oregon college student’s science project forced the evacuation and shutdown of a terminal at Eppley Airfield in Omaha on Wednesday. The student had been participating in a science fair at Creighton University in Omaha, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Breault said."

Do you feel safer?

"You may have heard in the news recently about how a college student unintentionally closed down a TSA checkpoint with his science project."

The student didn't shut down the airport. TSA shut down the airport. And they did it intentionally. Let's put the blame where it belongs. Note that when he shipped the device, nobody shut down the airport thinking it might be a bomb.

POLITICS:

People are wondering if Obama will be re-elected. I'm wondering if he'll do better than lose by a historic margin.

Only 17 percent of likely voters think the government has the consent of the governed.

"A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 17% of Likely U.S. Voters think the federal government today has the consent of the governed. Sixty-nine percent (69%) believe the government does not have that consent. Fourteen percent (14%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)The number of voters who feel the government has the consent of the governed – a foundational principle, contained in the Declaration of Independence – is down from 23% in early May and has fallen to its lowest level measured yet.Perhaps it's no surprise voters feel this way since only eight percent (8%) believe the average member of Congress listens to his or her constituents more than to their party leaders. That, too, is the lowest level measured to date. Eighty-four percent (84%) think the average congressman listens to party leaders more than the voters they represent."

I amazed anybody thinks their representative cares what they think more than the party.

MEDIA:

Does the press fawn all over Obama's masculinity to overcompensate for a prissy president?

MISC:

Building blocks of DNA found in meteorites.

Department of Innovation logo fail: the three interlocking gears can't move.

Anonymous vows to destroy Facebook. Facebook is crappy application which makes believe it probably has crappy code. I bet Anonymous can do some real damage there.

Claim that stone-age men built networks of tunnels all over Europe.
