America’s top central banker has given his cautious blessing to bitcoin, the virtual currency that famously requires no central bank. 

In a letter ahead of today’s congressional hearings, US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke mostly distanced himself from virtual currencies, saying the Fed “does not necessarily have authority to directly supervise or regulate these innovations or the entities that provide them to the market.” But he also said that bitcoin and its ilk “may hold long-term promise, particularly if the innovations promote a faster, more secure and more efficient payment system.”   Continue reading “Ben Bernanke’s letter to Congress: Bitcoin and other virtual currencies “may hold long-term promise””

The school lunch drama continues, this time in Manitoba, Canada.

Close on the heels of a federally sponsored preschool in Virginia disallowing homemade lunches without a doctor’s note, a mom in Manitoba was given this note and a $10 fine when her children’s preschool felt that the lunch she sent from home required “supplemental” Ritz Crackers.   Continue reading “Roast Beef, Potatoes, and Carrots Don’t “Meet Nutrition Guidelines” but GMOs, HFCS, and Trans Fats Do”

Hi Tap
I found an interesting article from the Guardian in 2008.  The Jews who are not celebrating Israel’s
60th birthday.   I don’t think the Guardian would have the GUTS to write it today.

The Ugly Truth

According to indictment would urinate on wife and then force her to drink it

ed note–this is not the exception, but rather the rule amongst the rabbinate. The only reason we don’t hear about it more is that some are better than others at concealing it.

Is it any wonder why the Jewish community–abused by an insane cult ideology enforced by insane cult leaders have historically been steeped in the kind of mental illness that they have been?   Continue reading “Rabbi charged with abusing wife, kids”

Many years ago, man was told the land was theirs to do with as they wished. Informed they may live on this land, survive of this land, raise a family on this land. Man soon began to realize that this wasn’t the case. They began to realize in order to “own” this land, one must pay “taxes” to THE MAN, have the right “deeds”, grow the “crops” THEY say to grow, and have the livestock which are to feed others. By doing so the land was no longer owned by the individual, but owned by the government. As the “money” began to come in, more taxes were to be paid, more papers to be filed out. The land was fully taken from the family which lived there and told was theirs.   Continue reading “Where the Control Lies”

KABUL – While many Americans have been led to believe the war in Afghanistan will soon be over, a draft of a key US-Afghan security deal obtained by NBC NEWS shows the United States is prepared to maintain military outposts in Afghanistan for many years to come, and pay to support hundreds of thousands of Afghan security forces.   Continue reading “Endless Afghanistan?

Ferriday’s Jason Archer helped friends sight in their primitive firearms on Saturday, November 9, opening day for that segment of the deer season in Concordia Parish, when the 42-year-old and his cousin looked at their watches and decided they had time for a late afternoon hunt.

Since all Archer had seen so far from his stand had been feral hogs, he was intent on shooting a pig. Instead, the hunt ended with the hunter bagging a real “hawg” of a buck with a rack and body weight of outlandish proportions.   Continue reading “Potential state-record buck killed in Concordia Parish, Louisiana”

Einsatzgruppen are special paramilitary task forces, the most notorious of which were thedeath squads deployed by Germany’s National Socialist regime. The contemporary American soyuz is lousy with einsatzgruppen, some of which — such as the Pima County, Arizona SWAT team, which murdered Jose Guerena in his Tucson home – behave in a fashion almost indistinguishable from their German antecedents.   Continue reading “Black-Clad Einsatzgruppen Confiscate Guns in California”

We already know that the United Nations is preparing to seize your guns. Will the Chinese military be the vanguard force in the effort to seize American guns? A very simple dot connecting exercise would suggest that will be the case.

Foreign Led Gun Confiscation of American Guns

Foreign troops could soon be going door-to-door, inside the United States, in order to seize legally owned American guns whose gun owners are presumably protected under the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Why would Obama sanction foreign troops to carry out such a task? Because Obama knows that he cannot totally trust the military to seize American guns.   Continue reading “The Chinese Military Will Be Knocking At Your Door”

The turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) mushroom, named for its colorful wavy stripes, is known for its strong antiviral, antimicrobial and antitumor properties. These properties have been attributed to two polysaccharides, polysaccharide-K (PSK), also known as krestin, and polysaccharide-P (PSP). The Japanese government approved the use of PSK in the 1980s for treating several types of cancers, and it is currently used along with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. PSK was shown to significantly extend survival at five years or beyond in cancers of the stomach, colon/rectum, esophagus, nasopharynx and lung (non-small cell types) in Japanese trials since 1970.   Continue reading “Turkey tail mushroom finally being studied in U.S. after 30 years of use in cancer treatment in Japan”
