Free kibbles

ECONOMY:

Doug Casey investigates if gold and silver prices being manipulated. This is a loaded question. All government coercion affects all prices, so in the sense that government coercion exists, those prices are being manipulated. But this article is about more directed manipulation. But governments can only manipulate markets by buying, selling, stealing or coercion. Where is the evidence? Of course they can do these things behind proxies. Casey explains there's no motive.

TAX AND SPEND:

Democrats are angry that Facebook a partner expatriated to keep the US government from stealing millions from him after the Facebook IPO, so they're proposing even more draconian penalties for Americans who want to escape our police theft state. Like all government policies, this is counter productive.Expatriates tend to be rich, and the US criminals in charge should want them to return and spend money.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

One of the seeming paradoxes of our lives is that, because banks are cartelized by the Fed, reduced banking restrictions don't mean a freer market. As an analogy, if government gives the power of life or death to an agency (like Obama has claimed), reducing restrictions on that agency doesn't make us freer.

HEALTH CARE:

Government and it's cartelized agents push sugar in every product we buy, but sugar makes you dumber.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Forest fires are worse today because modern fire suppression methods prevent the natural burning off of fuel in smaller fires.

I don't believe everything I read, so I'm skeptical that the Obama stimulus boondoggle will transfer $50 million of US taxpayer money to a Canadian company employing two people. I'm not saying this isn't true, but dumb people don't rise to the top of government. Sure, they make horrific mistakes because suffer the fatal flaw of central planners, but this, if true, would be a political nightmare, and our politicians aren't stupid at politics. If they were, we'd never have heard of them. Just like if CO2 caused catastrophic global warming, humans wouldn't exist. It's the same idea.

WAR:

Right after 9/11, there was a lot of question whether or not al Qaeda was responsible. Bush promised to make all the evidence available to the American people to prove they were. He never did so. Now the current FBI director refuses to call Khalid Sheihk Mohammad an enemy combatant. This stinks to highest heaven.

POLITICS:

Apparently I'm supposed to be outraged that Harry Reid claims Republicans are the obstructionists. I'm also supposed to be outraged that some prominent Republican claims Democrats are the obstructionists. What a load of crap. Both parties are working together to divide, conquer and loot the American people, and calling each other obstructionists is just one of the many tools in their tool chests. Anybody who falls for this crap is part of the problem. Neither party is an obstructionist. They work together to establish a narrative that their media propagandist allies promote in order to most effectively loot us. Their superficial differences are intended to divide us so they can partner to loot us.

MEDIA:

It's kind of silly that Ann Coulter has suddenly adopted libertarian class theory, recognizing that the two major classes in America are tax payers and tax feeders. She doesn't believe it. The next time a Republican gains power, she will forget all about this.

George Will warns against bipartisanship. I've always said bipartisanship was a four letter word. I've always said when politicians embrace bipartisanship, the American people are being looted beyond the norm. I've said this for 30 years or more regardless of who was in power. I bet you anything George Will never issued a similar warning when Republicans were in charge. Tool.

Romney's religion and high school record are fair game, but Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright is not.

It's surreal to think that Pat Buchanan was fired from MSNBC because he portended the end of the white majority in America and considered the implications of it. This is a fact. Remember when Eric Holder proclaimed we were a nation of cowards because we failed to have an honest discussion about race? Buchanan tried. MSNBC fired him for it. Now that it's been reported that over 50 percent of children born in the US are non-white, Buchanan is running victory laps, but without a salary. If you don't recognize that this is right out of the Soviet playbook, you've been educated in government schools. I don't give a damn about Buchanan, demographics or any other supposed important issue in this situation. What I care about is the primitive thuggery and chest-beating by all parties. What I care about is how everybody in power views the world through collectivist eyes. It's sickening. It's a sign of how far our society has degenerated back to cave man times. The Republican party is dying for the same reason the Democrat party is dying: they can no longer make the case for overwhelming debt, welfare and warfare. Economic laws are overcoming them.

MISC:

Man exposes supposed wine experts as frauds, faces 100 years in prison for his service. This is a great reminder than in our society, fraudulence is rewarded and virtuousness is punished.
