Peak Prosperity

We commonly use two misleading expressions; “money out of thin air” and “government printing press” both imply that our money has no backing.  And often, the term “fiat” money is used to imply the same misconception.  The truth is that every dollar (FRN) issued by the private banks is backed by the good faith and credit of “We the People.”

It is true that the money is created for free by the private banks and it is true that the banks add neither any banking or reserves but; it is not free for “We the People.”  The banks use our credit which means we are backing the money.  If you are wondering why we as a nation; are paying private banks interest and principal for money created via OURcredit – you are catching on – but that’s another story!    Continue reading ““Our Land: Collateral For The National Debt””

Even as critics in Congress are blasting Obama’s upcoming new gun control executive orders as “dangerous overreach” targeting the 2nd Amendment, Obama has defended them, claiming his plans are “well within my legal authority”.

Two eastern Oregon ranchers convicted of arson on federal land turned themselves in to a California prison this afternoon, as militia members — who say the ranchers are going to jail for a crime they did not commit — continue an armed occupation of a wildlife refuge in the state that’s on federal property.

Dwight Hammond Jr., 74, and his son, Steven Hammond, 46, were convicted three years ago of setting fires in 2001 and 2006 on lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, “on which the Hammonds had grazing rights leased to them for their cattle operation,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.   Continue reading “Oregon Ranchers Report to California Prison Amid Armed Standoff”

Counter Punch – by Ted Rall

We’re not supposed to question juries. They’re our peers. They put in long hours, working hard essentially for free. Most of all, they see all the evidence. We don’t. We have to assume that they know what they’re doing.

Sometimes, however, a jury verdict relies on so many false assumptions, baseless assignments of privilege and twisted logic that you have to call it out. The decision of a Cleveland grand jury not to indict the cop who shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice to death is one such time.

Ammon Bundy, one of the armed militia members occupying a building on federal land at an Oregon national wildlife refuge, told ABC News this morning that, while their protest is peaceful, the group is armed “because we understand that in order to truly express our 1st Amendment rights, we have to have our 2nd Amendment rights.”

“It’s important that we stand and people know that we’re serious,” Bundy, 40, said on “Good Morning America.”   Continue reading “Ammon Bundy Speaks From Occupied Oregon Refuge: It’s Important That ‘People Know That We’re Serious’”

This guy is such a slick fake. If the Powers that Shouldn’t Be didn’t in some way really want him and his terrible politics in office, even as a potential VP, he wouldn’t still be in the running.

If you watched the last debate, it’s a good thing you finally got to see how authoritarian Rubio really is. He drooled all over the NDAA and begged for more NSA surveillance state to fight the turrurists. He was roaring for boots on the ground and more war in the Middle East. Don’t forget, not only was Rubio “totally committed” to Obama’s unconstitutional immigration bill, but he’s also Israeli billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s favorite GOP lapdog.

Foundation for Economic Education – by Gary Pecquet

The economic concept of private property refers to the rights owners have to the exclusive use and disposal of a physical object. Property is not a table, a chair, or an acre of land. It is the bundle of rights which the owner is entitled to employ those objects. The alternative (collectivist) view is that private property consists merely of a legal deed to an object with the use and disposal of the object subject to the whims and mercies of the state. Under this latter view, the state retains ownership and may at any time regulate or even repossess the property it temporarily cedes to individuals.   Continue reading “Private Property and Government Under the Constitution”

Valarie Whitner, 57, has lived in the St. Louis suburb of Pagedale for nearly two decades, at first without any major brushes with the city government.

But then, the tickets started arriving in the mail. For tree stumps in her yard. For not filling the recycling bin to the brim. For chipped paint. It seemed no infraction was too small to escape the scrutiny of fine-happy officials.   Continue reading “City’s ‘nitpicky’ fines for tree stumps, blinds trigger civil rights lawsuit”
