I understand liberal philosophy, and I've watched it invade even at the university levels where "content" and "how writing makes one feel" takes precedence over basic grammar in grading procedures, which is almost non-existent. One simple example.
You don't fear the gov't NOW. Keep watching.
Do you believe that even ONE word that comes out of Barry's mouth has NOT been written for him by others? I get the difference between a speech writer and lifting from published sources, but if originality is the problem, then every politician is guilty.
So funny how liberals focus on the tiny flaws to poke fun. Would it make you FEEL better had the artists left off the belly buttons? I know that FEELING good about things is the primary focus of liberal philosophy. Competition and capitalism are evil because they reward brains and hard work over feelings. You guys are so transparent.
Reality check for arizona:
The reason you are confounded by what he says is that you do not believe in a personal God who created man in His own image. If you can't fathom that concept, and you laugh and call it a fairy tale of lunatics, even if it changed the face of the Earth and has persisted for thousands of years with some of the brightest minds included, then it is no wonder you "sit there for a moment unable to really understand what exactly it was that" you just saw. I've noticed many liberals have this problem a lot!
Liberals can watch this and point out the "technical" flaws, such as the differences between Communism and Socialism, but he is not making a speech on those differences. He's simply making an overall point, and that point is a higher one, but it only applies to those who believe in a personal God, and that is why it confuses you. Sure, Communism and Socialism have many differences, yet they have many overlapping philosophies. If they did not, then men such as Karl Marx, Fredrich Engels, and Leon Trotsky would not all be strong contributors to both systems.
Then, you focus on how he states that "gay rights" is not the real issue. He is speaking about those in POWER positions, and THEIR motivation, not yours. But I guess that went over your head. If you truly believe that those in power care a flip about you or any gay right, then you are most fooled. The goal, as Cruz states, IS to break down tradition and the religion that predominantly founded this country. Gay rights is simply ONE way to accomplish a PART of this overall goal, and it is working just as they planned, because we have seen the traditional family collapse over the past 30 years. There has been a polar shift in what is acceptable now, that was considered immoral many years ago. No one, not even children, believe that homosexuality, pornography, graphic violence, filthy language, and on and on is even taboo, much less immoral. This is the point Cruz is making, but as I said, if you are an atheist, and you believe that what you do on Earth has no bearing on an afterlife, then all you can focus on are the precise words, compared to your belief system, and it confounds you.
Cruz is not a lunatic. He simply can see that which you cannot, or refuse to see. But as the country and world continue to break down, and move until they are totally away from God and even deny His existence, then you will see God lift His hand of protection from America, and then you will see what living in a land and a world is like without this level of blessing. It will deteriorate at a rapid rate, and you might want to go back and watch some apocalyptic movies to prepare.
The federal gov't is so much smarter than sheeple liberals who they manipulate with ease. They are just as ignorant in their beliefs, as they hate and ignore God as well, but they KNOW what is coming, because they have orchestrated it. But they have armored vehicles, billions of rounds of ammo, underground bunkers, and plans for you, the sheeple, which you think do not even exist.
When Cruz's words actually make sense to you, it will be far too late.
As long as the morons flying that flag harm no one, then the Constitution protects them . . . or at least it SHOULD. Watching NSA, TSA, and SWAT operate these days, do you not have doubts that your liberty and freedoms granted under the Constitution may already be trampled on, and surely are heading that way? You have no concern for what the federal gov't has already shown to drone recipients, citizens who speak out, people with money in banks, and on and on? No concern for what the fed gov't could label a "terrorist" and remove ALL rights as a citizen, because they have telegraphed, at the very least, that they are thinking about these issues?
History lesson for liberals:

Obama’s Blitzkrieg Attack Upon America
Since Obama took office in January of 2009, America has been under the most serious and constant barrage of blitzkrieg attacks in her entire history. Not only was Obama grossly under qualified to be president based upon his experience, he was not eligible to even run for the highest office in the land.
The following article summarizes many of the documented issues I have raised, in only the past several weeks, about President Obama and his subsequent leadership failures. I would ask that if you agree with ANY of the following allegations, that you share your concerns with your friends and family and then draft a letter to your Congressman imploring him/her to draw up articles of impeachment against Obama for treason and sedition. Encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Expect that most Obama supporters will fall back on the only defense of this president that they have left; If you oppose the president, it is because you are a racist. To that allegation you might want to consider comparing your disdain for Obama to your support for Dr. Martin Luther King. Obama seeks to destroy the Constitution (examples follow). Dr. King fought for equality for all people under the Constitution. Obama has engaged in wholesale and lawless attacks upon the well-being of the American middle class (examples follow), Dr. King used acts of civil disobedience in a sparing manner and only when all other avenues of protest were blocked by establishment bigots. Obama wants to wage endless war while destroying America’s prestige and economy, while Dr. King was opposed to the unwarranted Vietnam War because he was a man of peace. Obama’s popularity and the confidence in his leadership is plummeting, even among the sheep of this country, while America has a special place in her heart for men like Dr. Martin Luther King who wanted America to be a better place for all people regardless of one’s background. Obama is a destroyer of countries and civilizations, Dr. King was a builder of hope, trust and opportunity.
When America removes the “racist” defense of the Obama agenda, his encroaching communist agenda will stand naked for all to see.
Obama’s Goals
Judge a man by what he does, not by what he says. It is quite apparent that Obama’s goals of leadership are far different than anything the rank and file of this country could have imagined when he was elected. His goals can be summarized as follows:
1. Deindustrialize the United States through the introduction of cap and trade.
2. Continue George W. Bush’s job of destroying individual constitutional civil liberties through greatly expanding the police state surveillance grid.
3. Drive America over the financial cliff through a devastating increase in America’s debt.
4. Push America into a brand of socialism from which it can never recover through the introduction of Obamacare.
5. Firmly install a program of eugenics, front and center, through the introduction of grossly inefficient, treatment-denying and horribly expensive healthcare.
6. Significantly weaken America’s ability to defend herself.
7. Criminalize the act of being a Bible-believing Christian.
The American middle class is under extreme attack from this president and there is no end in sight. Obama is clearly the right communist, at the right time needed to push America over the cliff in a blitzkrieg series of attacks designed to destroy this country. We must first realize that these things have been done to us by someone who does not share in America’s traditional values and is clearly not even an American citizen.
Not a Real American
What has become of the Obama presidency is far worse than anything I could have imagined and I had grave concerns about his 2008 candidacy. What was striking to me, is how we knew so little about the personal background of this loquacious candidate for the highest office in the land. As I have documented, Obama is truly a communist, who was bred by communists raised by communists and he had his political career launched by communists. Since entering the White House, Obama has surrounded himself with like-minded communists from Van Jones to Valerie Jarrett.
Many of us in the alternative media have documented the fact that Obama’s mother, Anne Dunham, worked for Tim Geithner’s father at the CIA sponsored Ford Foundation when Geithner was the head of micro-finance in the post-coup Indonesia.
Anne Dunham’s husband and President Obama’s stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, worked at the CIA sponsored East-West Center in 1965. Soetoro was recalled to Indonesia in 1965 to serve as a senior army officer and assist General Suharto and the CIA in the bloody overthrow of President Sukarno. Soetoro worked for the elitist Ford Foundation, World Bank and also was clearly working for the CIA.
When Obama attended Occidental College, we know he used the name Barry Soetoro and was using a fake social security number. Many key researchers such as Wayne Madsen, have concluded that Geithner’s father tagged Obama as a potential presidential CIA Ford Foundation, well-groomed Manchurian candidate. It is difficult to draw any other conclusion.
Obama’s real father, Frank Marshall Davis, was a member of the Communist Party and a former Soviet Agent who was under FBI investigation for a total of 19 years. In 1948, Davis moved from Chicago to Hawaii leaving behind a colleague named Vernon Jarrett, the father-in-law of Senior White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Yes, the Jarrett’s are communists as well. Both Jarrett and Davis wrote for a left wing newspaper called the Chicago Defender in which they espoused a communist takeover of the United States Government. In 1971, Davis, according to Joel Gilbert, was reunited with his then nine-year-old son, Barack Obama, and schooled him in the ways of being a good communist for the next nine years.
Following the nine years of mentoring and parenting by Frank Davis, Obama made some very important communist connections which ultimately led to him obtaining an impressive college education financed by some very familiar communist activists, namely, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn who were “red diaper babies” and the leaders of the Weatherman Underground. Tom Ayers, Bill Ayers father, funded Obama’s Harvard education according to Allen Hulton whose affidavit was used by Sheriff Joe Arpaio to declare Obama’s long form birth certificate to be a forgery. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, now husband and wife, launched Obama’s political career from their Chicago living room.
Senior White House Adviser, Valerie Jarrett, was Chicago’s biggest slumlord back in the 1980's, but more importantly, her family had intermarried with the Ayers family. David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett were both also “Red Diaper Babies, in which they were the sons and daughters of well-to-do parents who desired communism and lived out their dreams through their children’s revolutionary activities. Other notable red-diaper babies also include such notables as Rahm Emanuel and Eric Holder.
As I said, it is quite clear that president Obama is not an American and that he was indeed bred by communists, raised by communists and had his political career launched by communists. Today, Obama is surrounded by communists in his senior level administration. In one sense, it’s a relief that Obama is not truly an American because it would be more difficult to accept what he has done to us if he were one of us.
As a humorous aside, did anyone else take note that Senator Ted Cruz’s father said that Obama should go back to Kenya?
In the following paragraphs, I’m going to briefly and only partially summarize how president Obama is destroying America. You’re going to read a summary account of a president who has effectively been a one-man wrecking crew.
Can America Name One Positive Thing That Obama Has Done for the American Middle Class?
Has America forgotten Obama’s proclamation that we were less than five days away from fundamentally transforming America? This was one promise that Obama kept, and he kept it with a vengeance and with an unmatched vehemence towards the American people. Before sitting down to write this article, I contacted two of my friends from the liberal persuasion who were once very big Obama supporters. I had one question for my two friends and that question was “Name one thing Obama has done that has targeted the middle class for some degree of improvement”? One of my liberal friends told me that he would have once said that “Obamacare was going to bring down the people’s healthcare costs”. And then he went on to say, “I know today, that that statement would not be accurate”. Neither of my liberal friends could name even one thing that Obama has done to improve the lives of the American middle class.
I think all of us would be hard-pressed to find an individual who could tell us with a straight face what Obama has done to help the American middle class. In fact, when we take a look at the Obama administration and its misguided policies, this administration has created a wide swath of destruction towards the American people reminiscent of what General Sherman did to the South in his now infamous “March to the Sea” during the Civil War.
The Military
Any discussion about the welfare of the nation must begin an end with an analysis of military strengths and weaknesses. Generally speaking, an athletic team is only as good and performs only as well, as the quality of coaches leading that team. The same can be said for the military. Along these lines, Obama has decimated the leadership of the military.
Since the beginning of 2013, he has fired 16 naval commanders and a much greater number of generals when it comes to the combined forces of the Marine Corps and the Army. Never before in the history of this country has a president so devastated a theater of war such as Obama has done, in Afghanistan, where he has removed commanders, one right after the other.
Obama has replaced these commanders with less experienced subordinates, thus, tremendously weakening our military.
For the first time in American history, Obama has allowed Russian troops to train on American soil. And this “training” comes on the heels of when Russia threatened to nuke America if it dared to invade Iran. Based upon the Russian 2012 threat, America should be in a constant state of military readiness, not be training Russian soldiers who are self-declared enemies of the American people.
Even more incredibly, Obama has directed FEMA to engage in a bilateral agreement to train 15,000 Russian troops on American soil. This makes no absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why would a domestic emergency response agency be training with Russian combat soldiers? There can only be one answer; These troops are going to be needed for the enforcement of the upcoming martial law which will include participating in typical FEMA disaster activities such as food and water distribution, relocation to “housing centers”, etc. Based on this unwarranted agreement between FEMA and the Russians, many of us have concluded that Obama is going to use these troops to engage in gun confiscation and all the very bad things that could follow such an action.
At a time when America has been threatened with nuclear annihilation, Obama has gone so far as to remove the two leaders of our nuclear arsenal by using such ridiculous allegations as one of the men was using a counterfeit poker chip. If this president has time to consider what constitutes a counterfeit poker chip in a harmless poker game, he is spending too much time on the golf course and not enough time doing his job. What is more likely, is that this is a deliberate move to weaken the leadership of our nuclear arsenal leadership. As a result, our national security has been compromised and all Americans are less safe today than they were five years ago when Obama assumed the presidency.
The defenses of Alaska have been severely depleted in the absence of F-22 overflights up and down the coast. The F-22's could have been replaced by F-16's but that has not proven to be the case. Further, Obama has given away seven Alaskan islands to the Russians, some rich with oil, some that have important military strategic significance. Under President Obama, our national security is in grave danger putting all of us at risk.
These are the actions of a traitor.
Devastating Our Healthcare
The magic number for healthcare appears to be three because three times our present cost is what most people, being forced to convert to Obamacare, are paying. I pay just under $400 a month to insure my family. When I went online and used the Obamacare cost calculator, I discovered that I would be paying over $1300 a month for my family’s health care.
I was recently listening to the Hannity radio show as he was interviewing LA attorney, Jennifer Hudson, who is four months pregnant. Hudson stated she was dropped from her health carrier and that Obamacare was going to cost her more than three to four times when she is presently paying.
Didn’t Obama say ” if you like your healthcare, and you like your doctor, you get to keep your healthcare and you get to keep your doctor under my health care.” Didn’t this Manchurian candidate also say ” a family of four is going to save an average of $2500 per year under my plan”.
There are so many lies tied up in Obama’s previous two statements, that it is difficult to know where to begin. Let’s just suffice it to say that at least 16 million Americans are going to be forced to convert to Obamacare and that doesn’t even begin to cover the number of private healthcare carriers who are going to dump their insured customers in order to save themselves the expense of providing an ever-expanding healthcare coverage under Obamacare rules and regulations. Further, most Americans who are converting to Obamacare are suffering from sticker shock. And for those who can’t afford the new premiums, well…, they will just have to go to jail under Obamacare regulations which requires each citizen to carry the federally mandated coverage.
Why isn’t the corporate-controlled mainstream media asking Obama why are over 1,300 of his preferred corporate campaign providers and their employees exempted from mandatory participation in Obamacare? Why isn’t the media asking Obama why he and Congress are not forced to use the very same “health product” that they have forced down the throats of American citizens? This is a clear case of rules for thee, but not for me. If the American people were fully aware of the duplicitous nature of Obamacare, there would be an erosion of confidence in government, even above and beyond the record levels of unhappiness we are witnessing today. When people lose respect for leaders and their policies, an air of civil disobedience rears its ugly head. This is why the corporate controlled media will never challenge the president on these issues. This is a communist takeover by stealth.
If you are a baby boomer with any health issues, you should think about expatriating because Obamacare, for elderly people, should be relabeled “Deathcare”. We are just now finding out about the numerous age-related treatment exclusions. It is not an exaggeration to say that in a couple of short years, expatriation could become a life-saving move for many Americans. As an aside, why do you think the government is making it more difficult to expatriate with your money? What do they know that most baby boomers do not yet realize?
Attacks Upon Our Food and Water
In the past few weeks I have documented how Obama is moving to control the food supply in the United States. The Obama forces have swat-teamed the Amish, raw milk producers and several private food producers, while leaving the large corporate farms alone.
After making 50 million Americans dependent upon food stamps, Obama is allowing Congress to make significant cuts among this vulnerable population group, with no transition period, and Obama could have prevented this action with an Executive Order. I am not in favor of the welfare state. However, as one cannot expect a heroin addict to quit the drug by going cold turkey, we cannot expect 50 million poor people to make this kind of adjustment with no transition period. I believe that this is a provocative strategy designed to get protestors in the streets where all resistance will be crushed and Obama’s Bolshevik revolution can continue unabated.
Under Obama’s leadership, the EPA is using their self-proclaimed power to control water. And when one controls the flow and usage of water, one also controls property rights as well as food production. The EPA has announced that they control all forms of water ranging from streams, lakes, rivers, oceans, standing water, well water and water of any variety regardless of the source. This is the underlying impetus which is providing the motivation for the two counties in northern California to withdraw from California.
The Deindustrialization of the United States
Since Obama has been elected president, he has been on a mission to impose the phony science of global warming which serves to justify his extreme control of all industry and personal usage of energy. Unable to get his cap and trade policies through the Congress, Obama has begun to implement his agenda through executive orders at the state and local level. Hence, we are starting to see some citizen push back in the previously mentioned California and Oregon situations.
From my research on the Gulf oil explosion, I learned that Obama was once a member of the Joyce Foundation along with Al Gore and Valerie Jarrett. Together, the three parties created the Chicago Climate Exchange which was designed to be a $10 trillion dollar venture to administrate all cap and trade within the United States. I believe that this why Obama was selected to be president by the bankers.
As I have documented in recent articles, if Obama has his way, we will be living in an 1880's hellish nightmare reminiscent of the opening scene of the movie, The Hunger Games.
Economic Devastation
Under Obama, he has increased deficit spending by a factor of two, when his major campaign promise was to balance the budget. Even more disturbing, under Obama’s watch, the government is setting up to steal retirement accounts as I have documented that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has begun to “borrow” from select federal retirement accounts.
More disturbing is the fact that Obama has done nothing about the mammoth derivatives debt, totaling at least one quadrillion dollars which is 16 times the value of the entire planet, and the interest continues to grow at an exponential rate. The derivatives debt plus the unfunded liabilities that, which totals $238 trillion, will absolutely crush the economic system of this country. This is by design.
Obama should be doing what Iceland did with the bankers from such rogue institutions as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs as these institutions were raping and pillaging Iceland’s economy. The citizens threw rocks at Iceland’s capital building until there was a regime change and the bankers were sent to jail. In the first year following the separation between these rogue banking institutions and Iceland’s government, the Iceland economy grew at 2.3%. So much for the myth of “too big to fail”. Obama could be doing the same thing in this country but that’s not his mission, his mission is to destroy the United States in which to usher in a new world order accompanied by a new global currency which will be followed by the complete destruction of the United States Constitution and the installation of the United Nations charter.
Obama Has Outwardly Declared War Against the American People
Under Obama’s watch, the Department of Homeland Security has armed themselves with 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition and 2700 armored personnel carriers. Even such innocuous federal entities, such as the National Weather Service, are arming themselves to the teeth. Obama has expanded the TSA tyranny, which violates all Americans Fourth Amendment rights, to the streets, the bus depots and certain highways. The Obama administration has purchased hundreds of concrete, bulletproof checkpoints which will be placed on the nation’s highways.
In the recent government shutdown, Obama forbade pastors from administering to their Christian flock in the military. However no other religion, including Islam, received such a prohibition. Under Obama, the Department of Homeland Security has declared Bible-believing Christians to be domestic terrorists. And let’s not forget that the American people have been saddled with the two most virulent forms tyrannical legislation in our nations history, the NDAA, in which Americans can be abducted by the government off of the street with no due process of law. And of course, there is Executive Order 13603, in which the President can take control of all resources and conscript all Americans to perform any duty as he sees fit.
This is the stuff that martial law is made of.
Education
Under Obama, the new Common Core education system is becoming a prescription for the complete dumbing down of America. I have documented how this new education system has completely abandoned time-honored sequencing of subjects to be taught in favor of a sequence that has never been tested. Many parents are waking up to the fact that the system is going to endanger their child’s educational potential. The problem is so bad, that here in Arizona the Secretary of Education has changed the name of the Common Core in order to fool the public as to the truly dangerous and unwarranted changes taking place in our education system.
America has the most expensive post secondary education in the world. Its student loan practices are predatory to say the least. Loans are not nearly impossible to pay back, but students who are defaulting on their student loans are increasingly having their complete asset portfolio stolen by the government and in some cases these students in the fall have even been swat-teamed.
Conclusion
Again I ask the question, “can anyone name one thing that Obama has done since taking office, which in some way benefit the American middle class?” And I have not even touched upon Fast and Furious, the Benghazi scandal, the IRS harassment of the Tea Party Scandal, the government spying on AP reporters scandal, the NSA scandal and the mysterious deaths of Michael Hastings and Andrew Breitbart. Most, if not all of these scandals, are worse than anything Richard Nixon did in relation to the Watergate scandal.
Hitler would be jealous regarding the overwhelming nature of Obama’s blitzkrieg attack upon average Americans. And before you write to me and tell me that Obama is merely a stooge, and I agree he is a stooge controlled by bankers, please realize that we have to fight this battle at the level that it is occurring. The situation is so dire, that most Americans don’t even know who’s responsible for the attacks upon their lifestyles and their pocketbooks. This was the motivation for this article.
America is in need of a game-changing event. However such an event would require a collective action and the only medium of communication and ultimately collective resistance against this tyranny, will soon be gone because Obama and his minions are seeking to control the Internet. Obama needs to be impeached and he needs to be impeached right now.
I used to be foolish enough to believe that we could turn back this type of tyranny by collectively and effectively using the political tools at our disposal. However, I have come to realize that we are playing in a game that has absolutely no rules. There is absolutely no higher authority that the people can take their case to that hasn’t already been corrupted by the bankers who have successfully hijacked our government and control the executive branch. Oh, I will continue to fight the enemy in the trenches. However the majority of my efforts are focused on adaptation as opposed to direct resistance and I would suggest doing the same unless hordes of Americans suddenly wake up and are willing to take collective action and throw off the shackles of this tyranny that is enslaving this country. On my talk show, I employ a catch phrase which states “Saving America one enslaved mind at a time”. It may no longer be possible to save America, but you can save yourself by properly adapting through proper preparation and by embracing your spirituality in which you can provide your soul with a degree of permanence that the American government can never provide for you.
As I read this, one particular paragraph stuck out, as it describes the polar opposite of those on this board. Good freaking luck to all the clueless takers in society if the worse ever happens!
"Those paying attention will, at the very least, have a basic level of protection that includes tangible assets – food, supplies, precious metals, and a skill-set that will help us thrive when others are left with no other option but to panic."
We Are Close to The End: “The Con Job Is Up”
Mac Slavo
November 4th, 2013
We’ve seen decades of manipulation in the monetary, financial and economic systems of this country. And while most people have fallen hook, line and sinker for the recovery narrative touted by the establishment, the reality is a stark contrast to what they’re being told.
As Jay Taylor notes, we must first admit we’ve been conned. Then we absolutely must take steps to protect ourselves from the geo-political disaster to come.
Of course the masses of people don’t get it… they don’t believe it. They’re content to take at face value what they’re told by the mainstream media…
What people really have to understand is that the manipulation is systemic… Just by being in the system and holding dollars you are being taken advantage of.
You need to get as much as possible outside of the system.
And one way to reduce the systemic risk is to trade those fiat dollars… which are really worthless… they have nothing of intrinsic value… they are really just a con game… They need to exchange those dollars for gold and silver, real estate, diamonds… I would say other things that have tangible value, that no matter what the currency does, you still have possession and ownership of those assets.
The point is, the con job is up… the dollar could collapse very, very quickly…
Once people lose confidence, it’s going to be too late. People need to be opting out of the system now, before everybody else figures out that the system is sick and is going down.
Jay Taylor provides some key insights into how the markets are being manipulated, what to expect in coming months and years, and how to diversify yourself before the masses realize what has happened and go into panic mode.
Jay offers up some non-traditional ideas, including developing the one asset that may be your saving grace in a post-collapse world: life sustaining skills that can be bartered for goods and services when confidence in our current dollar-denominated mechanism of exchange is finally lost. Taylor understand the fundamental problems plaguing the global economy and monetary systems. He’s a strong proponent of tangible goods and he’s been investing in wealth preservation assets like physical gold and silver, real estate with productive capacity, and the people who actually produce something of value for human beings, such as farmers, inventors, and gold mining firms like Brazil Resources.
Moreover, he understands where all of this leads, and it’s a situation where traditional methods of income may well dry up:
What people need to do is to get outside of the system.
People with more average means need to develop a set of life sustaining skills, so that when the system breaks down…. and unfortunately I am absolutely sure the system will break down eventually and I’m afraid sooner rather than later… People are going to want to have skills that they can trade to barter, essentially, their services for other things that are necessary.
The economy is as sick as ever… The con artists are back in town… They’ve restored confidence to the system… It seems like, to people who want to drink the establishment’s Cool-Aid, that things are looking pretty good.
…You can’t trust them…
The fact of the matter is that when this goes down – and it will – tens of millions of Americans are going to be hit with a financial sledgehammer unlike they have ever felt before. There is no hope for the majority of these people. They don’t believe it can happen, you won’t convince them, and they are doing nothing to prepare and insulate themselves for when it does.
Those paying attention will, at the very least, have a basic level of protection that includes tangible assets – food, supplies, precious metals, and a skill-set that will help us thrive when others are left with no other option but to panic.
It will happen quickly; very quickly.
Be ready for when it does.
I'd ask if you are seriously that ignorant, and I use that term in the literal sense, not as an insult, but then, what's the use -- lol.
Stop illegal immigration gov't freebies, and automatically create millions of low paying jobs. Why should a baby born here to illegal parents be considered legal and make the family eligible for ANYTHING? They talk of fences and BS, when all they have to do is CUT OFF all aid to anyone but legal Americans, and the illegal would stop coming.
They don't, because they know that the 47% with entitled mindsets would rather sit on their asses than take a low paying job. Romney simply phrased his thought incorrectly for the sheeple to process, and allowed it to be used against him. 47% in this country DO NOT WANT to work at all, regardless of options. That's the part liberals can't seem to comprehend. The fact that this administration PURPOSELY CREATED this massive entitled group is simply evil. There are probably 15% who need disability and gov't aid, but solutions for the others to work could have been created. The sociopaths in DC did not want to.
Liberals always talk like they are FOR the 90%, but they are blind that welfare pushes the country ever-closer to all 90% being in poverty and kept like pets by a massive federal owner.
They actually believe socialism is better than capitalism because they can't stand 2% being uber-rich. At least capitalism allows a middle class to exists. Socialism will eventually create a 98% and a 2% and no middle class.
Again, simply wrong, as usual. Based on the Bigfoot/Republican poll, I'll start referring to the 19% of intelligent left. They vote Republican, yet realize they are evil sociopaths as well, just not the "give the dumb ass moron sheeple a few more trillion a year to keep them quiet and moving toward a zombified state" mentality. The 19% were complaining about Iraq almost from the get go, and certainly as soon as the WMD was brought to light. Not because they did not exist, but because they were a long way out, moved, and no more a threat than the other countries in the region. To spend trillions in that sand pit was absurd.
For your analogy, "Weirdly, the same people complaining that Bush was a murderer are quiet about the massive Barry-droning of the world," and this type of comparison between shrub and Barry could go on all day. People should avoid chanting "hope and change" or "Oh Bah Ma" because it obviously fries whatever brain cells are left.
Shouldn't your siggy be turned upside down and in place of USA say OH BAH MA, the chant of the moron?
That's about right, because 53% are morons. 19% are the only ones who realize that DC is made up of politicians who want to live like kings, and nothing else matters.
The reason the 19% of intelligent left still vote Republican is only because they hope it will slow down the process of a massive federal gov't growing so big and intrusive it kills its host a lot faster. It's that simple.
Has to do with the image the thoughtful here must have of a few liberal posters on here. A bit more intelligent . . . probably the aunt who finished high school of this woman, but on welfare, nonetheless . . . and a HUGE chip on the shoulder over some things in the past hundreds of years.
Even at an advanced age, you think wrong, as most entitled liberals always do -- lol.
And you think that because BARRY told you?
The truth, which liberals can never respond to in a rational way, always brings out the one-liner insults. Liberal moochers really need a new shtick.
I've got it. Instead of Mensa, a group of highly intelligent people, the 53%ers could form "Menses" -- A group of people who should be discharged from the country because all they cause is pain and suffering for the other 47%.
You could change the title of this board to "Politics and Menses!" The rational, smart, conservative people could offer up thoughtful ideas on politics, and the "menses" could do what they do so well -- offer up crap that everyone wants to get rid of and would be better off without in the first place!
In a fight, I'd put money on the over-sized, manly lesbian too -- lol.
Remember the promised "most transparent administration in history?" People could hop on the internet anytime and listen in to the decisions being debated for the people?
Drones, NSA spying, forced insurance, IRS targeting groups, massive EBT increases for dependency, and on and on and on . . . the ONLY thing transparent about this group is its complete level of sociopath behavior.
CREDIBLE LINK below. Do you feel better now? IF you listened to anything but MSNBC and the MSM, both controlled and zombified by this out-of-control, Hitler wannabe gov't, you might be surprised that the 53% are not right about most things, and their average IQ is 87.
Millions of people are receiving notices that their health insurance policies are being discontinued, forcing them to pay more for Affordable Care Act coverage.
MIAMI — Dean Griffin liked the health insurance he purchased for himself and his wife three years ago and thought he'd be able to keep the plan even after the federal Affordable Care Act took effect.
But the 64-year-old recently received a letter notifying him the plan was being canceled because it didn't cover certain benefits required under the law.
The Griffins, who live near Philadelphia, pay $770 monthly for their soon-to-be-terminated health care plan with a $2,500 deductible. The cheapest plan they found on their state insurance exchange was a so-called bronze plan charging a $1,275 monthly premium with deductibles totaling $12,700. It covers only providers in Pennsylvania, so the couple, who live near Delaware, won't be able to see doctors they've used for more than a decade.
"We're buying insurance that we will never use and can't possibly ever benefit from. We're basically passing on a benefit to other people who are not otherwise able to buy basic insurance," said Griffin, who is retired from running an information technology company.
The Griffins are among millions of people nationwide who buy individual insurance policies and are receiving notices that those policies are being discontinued because they don't meet the higher benefit requirements of the new law.

And it's the government's job to tell citizens what is good for them and what isn't, right? And it's the government's job to force citizens to take things because they know better than citizens in everything, right? And it's the government's job to control EVERYTHING, right?
Liberal morons are helping a psychopathic gov't on their way to total domination. They will get what they THINK they wanted. Poor sheeple morons.
"Give me Liberty, or give me death!"
Liberal moron version -- "Give me death, or anything else you think I need, as long as it's free!"
Anyone who doubts Barry was elected by a majority of low IQ and poorly-informed people is either a liar or one of the same morons.
If they had a simple test of basic questions to allow voting, such as "How many states are there?" and "Who fought in the Revolutionary War? -- no Democrat would EVER get elected. They must be proud! I take that back. They ARE proud of their ignorance.
Actually scary, to a thinking American, that he could be right, wouldn't you say?
Love that this thing has Barry's name attached to it. Poster child legislation for morons.
However, I suspect, behind closed doors, he is laughing all the way to the bank, having pushed the country a bit closer to the desired ultimate goal of total collapse.
Prostate cancer is a disease and never a choice. Maternity care is a choice or needed due to total ignorance or "I don't care, the gov't owes me" attitude -- both of which have always been OPTIONAL and ADDITIONAL coverage selected when purchasing insurance. This really is too difficult for the liberal mind, isn't it.
There is NOTHING good about this gestapo pushed law.
Comprehension really eludes those on this board. I continually am amazed at the ignorance. By saying, "never use," he obviously implies that they can use it at HIGHER prices, NOT getting to use their familiar doctors or hospitals, and being left without coverage if they leave the area. For anyone with even a small IQ, that's pretty "unusable."
But of course, liberals don't worry about this couple, because they envision they have a nice home, a nice car, and can afford insurance, so what difference does it make if the gov't steals a bit more, makes their lives a bit more difficult, if only it allows another fat, lazy, welfare slob to get some more free stuff, right?
BS! America was formed with Christian values and ideals at the very least. The Representational Republic, whether those living today or not like it, had imbedded in in Judeo-Christan thought and purpose related to what is acceptable and not regarding one's fellow man.
Sure they wanted people to be able to have any, or no religion (religious persecution was a big deal), but to deny that the country was founded based on these ideals is pure BS from the atheist/liberal scum in the country.
Just the fact that this can exists in the USA:
https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?productId=S_584004&categoryId=subcatS_S_Sheets
is, again, pure BS! If the liberal scum want this, then we should require that Muslim countries release the equivalent of something in their country, like a stamp with a manger scene. You think that would ever happen? No, because they at least RESPECT those who founded their country! Whether correct or not, they have their values, and they will not COMPROMISE on them. America has become a land of relativism, where all points of view are equally valid, and all truth is relative to the individual. AGAIN, PURE BS! If you have no ABSOLUTE right and wrong, then there is no hope of keeping a country on a solid path.
This is evidenced in the deteriorating judicial system that has trouble punishing even the most violent and sick criminals, in Hollywood, which continues to push more and more immorality and indecency, in public schools, which teach evolution and social tolerance. In addition, moral relativism is encouraging everyone to accept homosexuality, pornography, sex outside marriage, and a host of what once were called "sins" and considered wrong but are now being accepted and even promoted in society. It is becoming so pervasive that if you speak out against moral relativism and its anything goes teaching, you're labeled as an intolerant bigot. Those on this very board PROVE that all of this is true!
This dumbing down American pride and morals is only one thing that is planned to eventually collapse the country. If there is no glue holding something together, it will fall.
You can keep and celebrate individual freedom and liberty without removing the parts of the law, the customs, the morals, and everything that AMERICA, the REPUBLIC, was founded on.
Grope 80 year old white women in wheelchairs and let Muslims with enough garb to hide anything board freely is what you get when the pendulum swings too far in this diverse, individual direction.
Country is going to hell -- spiritually, economically, legally, morally, and just about every other way. Like Rome, the greedy bastards at the top pay no attention to anything, as long as they get what they want to have all their carnal needs met. It WILL fall.
The fools on this board, and around the liberal centers of the country, better get ready to learn how to stop each other from feeding on them, perhaps literally.
The Entire Fiat Money System is Bankrupt: Demise of the Global US Fiat Dollar Reserve Currency
It’s been a while since I last wrote an article on the on-going financial crisis. I don’t write for the sake of writing, as others do because they have to do so, on account of their subscribers who pay hefty subscription fees and demand their money’s worth.
Major issues or trends do not change on a daily or even monthly basis. A trend may take a few years to run its course and unless there is a major factor that may affect the trend, there is hardly any need to comment any further on the trend or outcomes.
The events unraveling post Bernanke’s decision not to taper QE is most significant because it confirms our analysis that the banking crisis has not been resolved in any significant way after five years of money printing and massive asset inflation. The fiat money system has but one outcome – total collapse. It will also mean the demise of the global US dollar reserve currency.
There are no solutions at hand.
Bernanke is totally discredited and his continued tenure as Chair of the FED would only accelerate the realisation that the FED and all central banks have failed. Hence, the need to change the “leadership” at the FED, but the same policies would be followed with some cosmetic changes to hoodwink the ignorant masses. It is analogous to the transition from the second Bush presidency to that of Obama and all the theatrics of “change” propaganda. In fact, Obama is Bush 2 on steroids! Yellen will be Bernanke on steroids. Why are we so certain of this outcome at Future Fast-Forward?
Our reasons are as follows:
Prior to the Global Financial Tsunami of 2008, I had written several articles exposing the global Too Big To Fail (TBTF) banks as financial rapists and predators and they would cause untold havoc to the financial system.
Post the crisis, I had also warned that these global TBTF banks are all insolvent and the toxic assets on their balance sheets would exceed US$20 trillion at the minimum. The entire fiat money system is bankrupt. Printing toilet paper money by the trillions does not make the system solvent. It is a clear admission that the system is totally broken.
The banking Humpty-Dumpty has fallen from the wall and shattered into a thousand pieces! The confirmation for this is the fact that all central banks led by the FED have only one aim – to create massive asset inflation. How can a stock market of a bankrupt nation be at an all-time high?
The FED and central banks the world over are not interested in resolving the unemployment problem because record unemployment would not collapse the fiat money system. It may trigger massive social unrest but that can be put down by a militarised police force, supported by a battle-hardened military as is happening in the US.
In the circumstances, we need to ask the US$ Trillion question – Why are all the central banks focusing on asset inflation via creation of money out of thin air?
The answer: THE FIAT MONEY SYSTEM IS THE ECONOMY, STUPID!
It used to be that the Petro-dollar was the linchpin of the global economy. However, when the derivatives market took off and became a US$800 Trillion global casino, the US$ toilet paper became the currency in global financial trading and speculation.
All the TBTF banks were leveraged to their eyeballs and the collaterals were hypothecated and re-hypothecated so many times over, it became an inverted pyramid joke.
The collaterals were bundled up into CDOs etc. rated AAA by corrupt rating agencies and traded. We need not repeat this old story. The point we are making here is that not only are the collaterals junks but they are supporting a mountain of debts in the trillions. Therefore, when collaterals are impaired the TBTF banks are in a hole from which they cannot get out. The FED and other central banks have no choice but to bail out the TBTF banks if a systemic failure is to be avoided. If all the junk collaterals were to be off-loaded at once in the full glare of public scrutiny, there would be a run on all the banks. So, what was required was a stealth rescue effort. The TBTF banks were allowed to unload the junk collaterals bit by bit by the various schemes of the FED culminating in the US$85 billion a month purchases of treasury bonds and mortgages by the FED.
Additionally, newly “minted” collaterals were used to replace the junks so as to clean up the balance sheets of the TBTF banks. I have stated earlier that the minimum amount of toxic assets needed to be mopped up is US$20 trillion. After five years, the FED has just scratched the surface. It is debatable how many US$ Trillions the FED has actually pumped into the system directly and indirectly. How much and how long more can the FED continue to pump US$ toilet paper into the system without creating a massive loss of confidence in the dollar? When the balance sheet of the FED reaches US$7 Trillion or maybe US$10 Trillion? It is anybody’s guess.
For sure, there will be a point when another US$100 Billion is created on top of the stash of US$ toilet papers which will tip the scale and collapse the entire system. It is a catch-22 for the FED. If it stops creating fiat money out of thin air, the fiat money system would collapse immediately. If it continues with more money creation, it merely postpones the inevitable and more devastating end-game. This is the price we all have to pay for allowing the fiat money system to hold sway for so long.
The world was conned into accepting the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of banking and finance – the US$ Global Reserve Currency Ponzi Scheme.
This scheme was created on a sand castle of debt, specifically US Treasury Bonds. The world does not need a Global Reserve Currency. Global trade can be conducted in any currency in accordance to the needs and resources of a country.
Why should there be a special privilege given to only one country to have its currency as the sole reserve currency for purposes of trade? It makes no sense as it is the result of US imperialist policies under the pretext of the Cold War. The con was based on the propaganda that the US$ should be the preferred currency and the US Treasury Bond is the “safest asset” to have in the event of an outbreak of war between the Western Imperialist camp and the Soviet bloc. We were told this arrangement was necessary if we are to enjoy the protection of the mighty US superpower!
Yet, when the Soviet bloc collapsed no one questioned the need to perpetuate the system.
Another spin was propagated. The US was the linchpin in the new era of globalisation as the US market was the biggest consumer / export market. Everyone was caught in this web of deceit. The US market was a market built on a mountain of debt. Adding insult to injury, the US consumers paid for the goods produced by millions breaking their backs with US$ toilet paper money!
Some so-called currency experts have asserted that no other currency can replace the US$ toilet paper as the global reserve currency because no other country has a bond market like the US bond market, dominated by the US treasury bonds. What an idiotic statement!
If a country is not in debt, there is no need for any bonds to be issued. A bond is an I.O.U. A bond is a mere paper pledge to repay a debt.
And anyone who says and continues to perpetuate the myth that a US debt is a better debt and is more secure is ignorant and misinformed!
Why would anyone want to work and produce goods which are sold and paid in US$ toilet paper and then use the surplus US$ toilet paper to lend to the US government who repays the debt by merely printing more US$ toilet paper?
So, do you still think the world needs a US$ toilet paper money as a reserve currency?

Liberals, who refuse to think for themselves, and only continue to "believe" and "hope" for the best, like mindless zombies, should be ASHAMED of themselves! But, for people who sit on welfare, feeding off the productive American worker, I suppose that feelings like "shame," "regret," etc. just do not exists.

I have a new conspiracy theory, simply because I refuse to believe there is more than a single entity on this board with such sub-par intelligence. I think the 6-7 main posters on this board are all the same liberal idiot with multiple alias, and he/she/it continually posts back and forth to themselves. Now all the moronic comments actually make sense! One, single, fat, unemployed, unmotivated, unattractive, bitter, welfare monkey lashing out at the world of the "rich" and the "motivated."
It makes understanding this place a lot easier to handle. The alternative, of considering that there are millions of these morons inhabiting the country, is too depressing to contemplate.
Oh crap! I forgot Barry got elected twice - lol.
Just when you thought the manufacturers were catching up a bit, the gov't attacks the industry again. Perhaps the shortages will be worse this time, after the closing in December?

If you look at the 5 year chart, didn't most of the buying happen around $32-$34 an ounce? Also, remember that when silver initially dropped below $30, the premiums on Eagles stayed really high for awhile. I think I remember paying about $30 even when silver broke $25 on the way down. Point is, I think most of the Eagles bought in the past 5 years were priced at $30-$36 or so, and I would bet most of those are still in the hands of the people who bought them. The world, and especially the US cannot live on borrowed, fake money forever. At some point, and I don't know when, the devaluing must take hold, and inflation must take off at a rapid clip. Or, the PTB will come up with a new currency and force an exchange to screw everyone out of 50-80% of their wealth. It would take magic to get out of this hole the psychopaths have dug, and there is no such thing as magic.
There are two major political parties in America. I’m a member of the naïve, stupid, and cowardly one. I’m a Republican.
How stupid is the GOP? They still don’t get it.
I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago ("The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide"), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that ObamaCare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.
The GOP needs to stop calling ObamaCare a “trainwreck.” That means it’s a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It’s NOT.
This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism.
It’s not a failure, it’s Obama’s grand success.
It’s not a “trainwreck,” ObamaCare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government.
Obama’s hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky -- a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinksky’s stated advice was to call the other guy “a terrorist” to hide your own intentions.
To scream that the other guy is “ruining America,” while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again…in every sentence of every speech…that you are “saving the middle class,” while you are busy wiping out the middle class.
The GOP is so stupid they can’t see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned purposeful attack.
The tell-tale sign isn’t the disastrous start to ObamaCare. Or the devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of full-time jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- bringing on a healthcare crisis of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that.
The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party Republicans and anyone who wants to stop ObamaCare “terrorists.”
There’s the clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that.
They are calling the reasonable people…the patriots…the people who believe in the Constitution ... the people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believed…the people who want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion in debt…terrorists?
That’s because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely hurt America, capitalism and the middle class…are calling the patriots by a terrible name to fool, confuse and distract the public.
ObamaCare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts:
1. ObamaCare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream -- redistribution of wealth.
Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote for Democrats).
Think about it. If you’re rich or middle class, you now have to pay for your own health care costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other people’s costs too (through massive tax increases).
So you’re stuck paying for both bills. You are left broke. Brilliant.
2. ObamaCare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government.
Think about it. Even Obama’s IRS predicts that health insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K can’t possibly hope to spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless.
Bingo. That’s how you make middle class people dependent on government. That’s how you make everyone addicted to government checks. Brilliant.
3. As a bonus, ObamaCare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs.
Why? Just to make sure the middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000 per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of the state. Brilliant.
4. ObamaCare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve donations to the GOP.
Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by ObamaCare.
Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and conservative causes? Small Business.
Even if a small business owner manages to survive, he or she certainly can’t write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is the “mother’s milk” of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist. Bingo.
That’s the point of ObamaCare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.
5. ObamaCare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful.
It adds thousands of new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy. The IRS has the right because of ObamaCare to snoop into every aspect of your life, to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets.
By law your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign.
Or have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama and conservative groups?
Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother rules our lives. Brilliant.
6. ObamaCare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers.
That produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic candidates and socialist causes -- thereby guaranteeing Obama’s friends never lose another election, and Obama’s policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting business owners long after he’s out of office.
Message to the GOP: This isn’t a game. This isn’t tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism.
This isn’t a trainwreck. It's purposeful suicide.
It's not failing, it's working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he’s doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.
Oh and one more thing…Conservatives aren’t “terrorists.” We are patriots and saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes and good guys. Unless you get all this through your thick skulls, America is lost…forever.

It's investment income, and it requires RISK. Just like lottery or gambling winnings, the federal gov't has no business or right to tax risk money. The fact that they already STEAL 15% on money that's been taxed already is criminal enough.
They actually have no right to tax income period, but then, if you support a massive federal spending machine full of sociopaths and psychopaths, that discussion would be way over your head.
