The Last Bastille – by Kyle Rearden

Imprisonment, like war, is hell. Understanding the nature of it is vital to empathizing with the grievances of those prisoners who are suffering because the government arbitrarily decided to tax, ban, or regulate something produced by the free market. First hand accounts of prison experiences, even if offered by a convicted felon, are incredibly valuable to those without any criminal record, due to the likely probability that such eyewitness testimony foreshadows the tribulations any man faces, especially considering that the sphere of legally permitted human action is noticeably shrinking as the police state coerces larger segments of the American citizenry.   Continue reading “Caged Arbitrarily: KC Massey on Government Dungeons”

Despite the barrage of catastrophic financial data throughout the Western world, there may be a glimmer of hope coming from the tiny Nordic island of Iceland.

It must not be forgotten that it was Iceland which was one of the first to feel the fallout of the financial crisis of 2007-08. Unlike most of the other nations, however, Iceland showed tremendous backbone and did not allow, for the most part, any of the NWO monetary agencies to intervene in its affairs. So, any Icelandic currency reform considerations must be taken seriously.   Continue reading “Monetary Reform in Iceland: Maybe There is Still Hope?”

The Obama administration issued controversial new rules Wednesday aimed at protecting the nation’s drinking water but decried by congressional critics as a regulatory “power grab.”

The Environmental Protection Agency, in announcing the finalized Clean Water Rule along with the Army Corps of Engineers, said the changes mark a “historic step for the protection of clean water” and would help roughly 117 million Americans who get drinking water from streams not clearly protected before these regulations. The rule would clarify which smaller streams, tributaries and wetlands are covered by anti-pollution and development provisions of the Clean Water Act.   Continue reading “EPA unveils comprehensive water regs, critics decry ‘power grab’”

Supreme Court Case

Relying on the provisions of the Constitution as ultimate proof, the petition presents incontrovertible evidence that no contemporary federal court has jurisdiction anywhere within the exterior limits of any of the 50 freely associated compact states of the Union.

This means that federal law is enforceable only in the District of Columbia and the Territories—and every United States District Judge in every United States District Court throughout the Union is usurping exercise of jurisdiction in extra-constitutional geographic area and culpable for treason to the Constitution:   Continue reading “Landmark Supreme Court Case”

Experts say that a Supreme Court ruling last week has set the stage for Obama’s federal government to start seizing 401K pensions from hardworking Americans.

Noted economist Martin Armstrong has warned that the outcome of the Tibble v. Edison, which found that it is up to employers to protect their workers’ 401(k) plans from mutual funds that don’t perform well, could open the door for the feds to seize private funds and prosecute companies that manage mutual funds performing poorly.   Continue reading “Obama’s Government Preparing To Seize 401K Pensions”
