TAX AND SPEND:

Judge rules bankruptcy filing by Harrisburg, Pennsylvania government illegal. I guess the mayor and her cronies stand to make lots of money off taxpayers, so she won't agree to it.

REGULATION:

The FCC's challenge to the AT&T-T Mobil merger costs AT&T $4 billion. And we wonder why our economy is spiraling down and jobs are moving overseas.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

We might be seeing the beginning of a modern day bank run.

"The nation's 10 largest retail banks are at risk of losing $185 billion in deposits over the next year as customers will look to move primary accounts to community and regional banks they perceive as being more customer-friendly."

The big banks must be in serious trouble despite, or because of, all the money the Fed printed and handed to them. Chase just sent me a $125 gift card if I open a Chase Total Checking account.

HEALTH CARE:

Dr. Mercola exposes government's health care system:

"With all its designer drugs and state-of-the-art machinery, you'd think modern medicine is the perfect fix for providing patient-focused care.You might also expect that Americans would be the healthiest people on Earth, seeing that the U.S. is the epicenter of all this technology, and especially since we spend more on health care than any other country in the world.
Yet, every year in the U.S., seven out of 10 deaths are due to preventable chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, stroke, and obesity.
How can that be?
How is it that we're not just chronically ill, but also lagging behind most industrialized nations in life expectancy?
The answer lies in how we approach health care: like it or not, the real focus of modern medicine is on selling disease and making money, not making you well."

This is what happens when we give government our power. Politicians and bureaucrats sell that power to the highest bidder, and those organizations use our power to advance their own interests at our expense. There's no way to reform this because the government officials and the special interest leaders are simply obeying human nature. The only solution is to take our power back from government.

Thanks to government domination of our health care system, the US ranks 28th in life expectancy despite being the most expensive system.

We should consider the FDA approved label as a warning to avoid from that product because it will cause us harm.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Government's stupid smart meters are interfering with other consumer electronics. What else would you expect from government? They didn't the UL approval. They don't need it. This shows how the private sector is much more effective at regulation than the government. And it's far cheaper.

Google abandons renewable energy prospects. That's because they're not cost effective.

Climategate 2 emails provide evidence the World Bank is helping orchestrate the great global warming fraud. BBC reporter jokes about how phony the BBC's pretense of objectivity is. This is true of every news outlet. Both Climategate 1 and 2 releases came when Obama visited China.

There's no such thing as renewable energy.

It looks like nothing terrible will happen at the latest global warming conference.

POLICE STATE:

Because prosecutors are immune from penalties from prosecutorial misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct is the rule instead of the exception. The American people should revoke their immunity, but that's not enough. Police have no immunity, but prosecutors never prosecute them for their crimes. Prosecutors wouldn't prosecute each other either. That's why we need a free market justice system.

Of course bias influences every decision we make in life. How could it be otherwise? Or maybe a better way to ask the question is: what does unbiased mean? And the conviction system takes advantage of this to produce convictions.

WAR:

The ruling class thinks the way they murdered Libyans was so popular, they're repeating the playbook for Syria. European leaders promoting another "humanitarian" mission like the one that killed tens of thousands in Libya in Syria. I guess they figure that bombing people to death is a humane way to kill them. It's sickening that so many Americans support these atrocities.

Here's what Syria has to look forward to:

"Lynching, torture, kidnapping are rampant [in Libya]. Not that it matters. The US struck a blow against the Chinese companies that had been developing the oil. They were tossed out, and their massive investments lost, and the CIA-Pentagon-Big Oil complex took it all over."

Very humanitarian.

POLITICS:

Lots of people don't understand this, but Ron Paul gets more donations from the military, federal bureaucrats and military-industrial complex workers than any other candidate. Lew Rockwell explains why:

"People are capable of putting principle ahead of short-term economic interests. That's why, no matter how many are riding on the taxpayers' back, all is not lost."

This is why Ron Paul would do better than any other Republican in the general election, and beat Pharaoh Obama handily. It also shows that good people go into the government hoping to help others only to discover the system is designed to keep that from happening.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Report that Iranians capture a US covert operations team. If we caught an Iranian covert operations team, we know what they would be called: terrorists. What do you think the Iranians will call a US covert operations team? Why would they be wrong? This is an important reminder that the US government is the initiator of aggression all over the world. That's why the rest of the world hates us and so many want to kill us. We should stop that. Funny how the Telegraph article returns a 404 error. That seems to happen a lot when papers prints stories detrimental to the establishment.

MISC:

Thanksgiving is a reminder of the marginal utility theory of value. This explains why the more wealth people enjoy, the less they appreciate it. Tell that to the Occupiers. Reminder that capitalism at Plymouth colony created the bounty that produced the first Thanksgiving after years of socialism almost wiped the colony out.

IBM's idea: build a DNA sequencing machine for $100 so it can build a DNA database of every person and creature on earth. This sounds very scary to me. It sounds inevitable.
