 | George F. Smith - Barbarous Relic |
Would you watch a movie about a counterfeiting cartel?  |
| One of the biggest strangleholds on our freedom is the money and banking system we’re forced to endure. I wrote a novel about it in 2008. It’s good, especially for a first novel, but good isn’t good enough. It doesn’t have the broad appeal I wanted. It steps hard on some cherished postulates such as the legitimacy of U.S. entry into World War I. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars, not an expedient to save Morgan’s investments.
World War I was a classic example of the wealth traSaturday, May 04, 2013 |

4-12 PSYOPS  |
| On the website wikipedia.org, under PSYOPS,the abbreviation used for “Psychological Operations” in government circles, we find:
“PSYOPS

This definition of PSYOPS – “psychological operations” - applies to the events of Friday, April 12 and Monday, April 15, 2013, which were preceded by years of preparation before the knock-Wednesday, April 24, 2013 |

| Silver and Gold Guarantee Freedom |
| Silver and gold are not merely valuable commodities, investments, and media of exchange. More importantly, they are key "checks and balances" in America's legal and political institutions.
The fight against the use of silver and gold as money that has been waged by bankers and rogue politicians since the 1870s as to silver and the 1930s as to gold -- and will intensify as fiat currencies collapse throughout the world -- is ultimately directed against America's national independence, her constitutional government, and every common American's individual liberty and prosperity.Monday, April 22, 2013 |

| German Reader Tackles Question "What Percentage of the Vote will Anti-Euro Party AfD Rec |
| Polls show the support for the anti-euro Alternatives for Germany AfD party as high as 17% according to the Financial Times.
However that 17% is the number of voters who would "consider" voting for an anti-euro party, not the number of people committed to that outcome.
Specifically, the FT article states "AfD is a late entrant for the election on September 22 and might not be radical enough to attract protest voters it needs in order to make it over the five per cent vote threshold for seats iThursday, April 18, 2013 |

him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a
lifetime.”
Cyprus has over the centuries been bought, sold and conquered numerous
times. Its people have however managed to endure all trials and
tribulations. This morning however I awoke to confirmation that the
confiscation of bank deposits in March was nothing more than the first
instalment of a process whereby its people, its sovereignty and its

On cue, Angela Merkel's Christian Democrat base in the Bundestag has warned that there can be no increase in the EU-IMF rescue package for Cyprus.
The Cypriot people alone must carry the extra cost of up to E5.5 billion beyond what was already agreed in the E17.5 billion deal in March.

After the failed coup against President Hugo Chávez (1999-2013) in 2002, in the best tradition of the Cold War, the US Embassy in Venezuela launched a plan to put an end to Chavismo (the name given to Hugo Chávez’s left-wing political ideology), as revealed in secret documents released by WikiLeaks.

| The Confidence Game |
| Last night I was staring at a computer screen with numerous bullet points
for this article and was wondering how to weave them together and what to call
it. After sleeping on it, the perfect title for this came to me..."The Confidence
Game". In human psychology, there are many different levels of human emotion
or behaviour, from which other forms of behaviours stem. This might seem like
a pointless exercise, but follow the flow chart below with a background thought

| From South Africa: How the U.S. herds the ‘sheep’ away from the gold market |
| "There are no markets anymore, just interventions.
With Cyprus, the plan has become obvious. With each succeeding intervention, the practice of statecraft becomes ever more insidious. The state has now turned its attention to the incremental enslavement of the individual: How will this be achieved? Through socialism and coercion; by the overt and covert control of the last vestiges of individual financial freedom.Wednesday, April 10, 2013 |

| Cypriot Chaos Assists EU Centralization |
| Remarks by members of the European Union's elite suggesting that banking deposit seizures may become standard practice appear to have heightened the risk of a European bank run and perhaps even a catastrophic collapse of the euro. Any threat to the euro is a threat to the European public's conception of the Union's manifest destiny. As such, I believe members of the EU elite may be purposefully leveraging the crisis to push for a centralized European banking system to cement the political framewTuesday, April 09, 2013 |

| Another day, another interview for your secretary/treasurer -- more preaching to the choir and maybe the stray bystander near the church door -- this time with Jessica Lau of Sprott Money News, who posed questions about the Western central bank gold price suppression scheme, the debacle in Cyprus, bitcoin, and a lot more.

As President Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget and a former U.S. congressman, what could have been done when you were in government that would have put a dent in the U.S. debt?

| "In the century in which we live, the Democratic Party has received the support of the electorate only when the party, with absolute clarity, has been the champion of progressive and liberal policies and principles of government. The party has failed consistently when through political trading and chicanery it has fallen into the control of those interests, personal and financial, which think in terms of dollars instead of in terms of human values."
