FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

At the height of NASA's glory promoting the Curiosity landing, YouTube removes their video because of copyright.

SOCIALISM:

Voluntary unionization is a civil right. It's a freedom of association. But forced unionization is not a civil right.

Emails show Obama administration officials illegally terminated pensions of non-union personnel at Delphi solely because they were not union as part of the government's seizure of General Motors, then covered it up. 

"Delphi, a 13-year old company that is independent of General Motors, is one of the world’s largest automotive parts manufacturers. Twenty thousand of its workers lost nearly their entire pensions when the government bailed out GM. At the same time, Delphi employees who were members of the United Auto Workers union saw their pensions topped off and made whole." 

It's good to be the king.

ECONOMY:

The government wants us to believe the economy created 163,000 jobs in July, but in fact, 195,000 more people were working in June than in July. 150,000 dropped out of the work force.

TAX AND SPEND:

Mis-named stimulus spending always depresses the economy.

"It worked miserably, as indicated by the table nearby, which shows increases in government spending from 2007 to 2009 and subsequent changes in GDP growth rates. Of the 34 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations, those with the largest spending spurts from 2007 to 2009 saw the least growth in GDP rates before and after the stimulus. "

That's because all government spending takes real resources out of the productive private sector and squanders them in the parasitic political economy.

Obama budget would had $11 billion to the debt, but it didn't pass. Why isn't Romney making this a huge issue?

HEALTH CARE:

21 million people have had their online health care records breached. All the major breeches were of government health care entities. The article does not mention either Google or Microsoft.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Gas jumped 40 cents in Ohio last week. It jumped 20 cents over one night.

"The Ohio AAA has attributed the sharp increase to multiple problems at Great Lakes refineries that bumped up wholesale prices for the region. The AAA said prices may continue to rise until they are resolved."

This is another problem with the news. Why not tell us this before prices rise instead waiting until after? Telling us before hand would be useful. Telling us afterwards is not. 

Wind Energy Is Extraordinarily Expensive And Inefficient.

When I saw the supposed statistical study saying heat waves were caused by global warming, I immediately knew that the author had fudged the study to hide the dust bowl years. It turns out the author is well-known, taxpayer funded, fraud James Hansen, and he cherry-picked his data not only to exclude the 1930s but also the 2000s and the southern hemisphere.

POLICE STATE:

Government spying on employees. These are the people they should be spying on. They have power, and power corrupts. The rest of us have no power.

Police and the military are arming for war against Americans. They know the government is bringing about catastrophic economic collapse, and they're preparing to wage war on the people who don't sit back and take it.

WAR:

The Sihk temple shooter was a US military psy-ops member. Author suggests this guy may have had accomplices too.

Why is the US government funding terrorists killing Christians in Syria. Libya and elsewhere?

It looks like the Syrian army may score a big victory in Aleppo as rebels run low on ammunition. Western governments must be very unhappy they failed to supply the rebels with enough ammunition.

Iranian envoy understands the Syrian conflict well.

"Iran moved on Tuesday to reframe the Syrian conflict as part of a wider battle with the United States and other hostile world powers, dispatching the personal representative of its paramount leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to Damascus for a televised display of solidarity with Syria’s president as battles raged and dozens of Iranian hostages in rebel custody were threatened with death. "

The US and western governments are waging covert war all across the Middle East.

The Middle East is becoming more chaotic and dangerous for America and Israel.

The US government a long and continuing history of terrorist attacks and supporting terrorists.

POLITICS:

Romney and the RNC raise more money than Obama and the DNC for the third straight month, unless the unions are still hiding their donations by reporting to the NLRB instead of the FEC. The Bilderbergers are doing it for Romney.

MEDIA:

It looks like channel 19 in Cincinnati has exposed a conspiracy around the Colorado shooter. Eyewitnesses reported the shooter was not alone. Tear gas was thrown into the theater from multiple points. The shooter took a phone call right before beginning the attack. They wonder how he afforded all the weapons and armor. They wonder where he got the training to make complicated explosives generally found only in war zones and why he told police about them. These are all great questions that nobody is asking and which belie declarations by local police that he acted alone. More on the possible conspiracy.

"New damning details on the Colorado shooting now surface on a daily basis. The latest is that the highest honors neuroscience student James Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist. Holmes was a patient of Dr. Lynne Fenton at the University of Colorado. Fenton worked for the Air Force in Texas and was known for dispensing dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, according to the Washington Post.
The doctor’s background came to light after the corporate media reported Holmes allegedly mailed a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to her before the attack. “Among the images shown in the spiral-bound notebook’s pages were gun-wielding stick figures blowing away other stick figures,” Fox News reported. This is an obvious attempt to hastily arrange a backstory on Holmes and portray him as a murderous psychopath. It is a key element in the narrative portraying him as a lone wolf, which is the preferred government story when it conducts false flag operations for political gain and to manipulate public opinion."

She would have had a duty to inform the police. Maybe she did. Maybe they're covering that up too.

MISC:

Researcher predicts 4 percent of Americans, or 12 million people, are sociopaths.

"Note: Other mental health experts put the percentage of sociopaths at 1-3% of the population, which is 3-9 million Americans."

That doesn't make me feel better.

Mark Steyn reports Londoners are not thrilled with the Olympics. No doubt. Keep them away from Dayton, please.

Claim that MIT grad student came up with plan to save Apollo 13 by sling-shotting it around the moon.

A great description of the true nature of government as the ultimate in organized crime.

"Say Ivan wants a construction contract. So he talks to Alexei, who knows someone in politics who can get him that contract in exchange for a bribe. That someone is Boris, who owes his position in a ministry of something or other to his friendship with Anatoly back when they were both junior KGB thugs whose fathers were also in the same business. Ivan gives some money to Alexei, who takes a percentage and passes along the rest to Boris, who takes a percentage and passes it to Anatoly who ushers in Ivan to see Vladimir, who is the undersecretary to the deputy minister of construction, who then demands a bribe that is twice as large as the cost of construction, but that's okay because the bid is four times the cost of construction.

This is obviously a very inefficient system. In the United States, Ivan would be named John, there would be only half as many people to see, and the bribe would be known as a campaign contribution. And this is also why the United States has fewer bribes and higher taxes, because we don't believe that government contracts should be handed out to unqualified people on the basis of bribes. We believe they should be handed out to unqualified people on the basis of race, sexual orientation or imaginary environmental crisis."

This guy is not going to last for long. I'd like to give this article ten thumbs up, but I'm not all thumbs.

I think if the founder of Best Buy buys the company and takes it private, he'll make it succeed. The government heavily regulates public companies, and they have to answer to a committee of directors. Owners of private companies have much more power to be entrepreneurs.

Fascinating GIF shows the rise of high frequency computer trading on Wall Street from 2007 through 2012.
