Ron Paul

Secession: Are We Free To Go

(17)

Again Representative Paul brings up the subject of “force”. Forcing people against their will has been the way of tyrants as long as they have existed. Some believe that this force is necessary because other wise nothing good would come about. That begs the question who is the all knowing person or group who decides what is needed to create good.
Left alone people will, as a whole, choose good and right...

Julian D. W. Phillips - Gold Forecaster

A Change is Coming – 2013 Onwards – Part I

(6)

Criminality is the worse form of actions for a society. What could be more charitable than allowing a person the self dignity, happiness and joy of earning their own living independent of others and especially not stolen “help”. To “bailout”, with money stolen from a lot poor or middle class workers, someone or company who has gambled badly is not my idea of compassionate treatment. If we have a society that...

Julian D. W. Phillips - Gold Forecaster

A Change is Coming – 2013 Onwards – Part I

(6)

The law, governments and societies are all suppose to be moral. Taking anything is a crime and so is forcing someone to do something such as giving up their property for some charitable cause. What is strange is a nation who accepts criminals for their leaders and the taking from one to give to another. Charity of any kind should be a choice made by the giver. The highest and best form of charity is helping ...

A Change is Coming – 2013 Onwards – Part I

(6)

Mr. Phillips, like myself, is a dreamer. He believers in stories with happy endings as “Part II”, worth reading, may show. It is true that people get over bankruptcies after a while and began again to work on prospering, notwithstanding the stress and mental strains of bankruptcies are life changing. There after, the tendencies to take chances are modify considerably. Now that the dream is over lets get back ...

George F. Smith - Barbarous Relic

A Review of Gary North's "What is Money"

(1)

What is understandable about a community that has fostered and accepted a fraud by participation is the fear of causing any upset or wave of discontent. One fraud leads to another and another. I remember when two party or more endorsements of bank checks became unacceptable at the bank thus obliterating the rules of commercial paper. It is impossible to perpetrate a fraud on a fraud. As the bumper sticker re...

What Ron Paul Might Have Said About That 47

(19)

It is so easy nowadays to judge others of the past by our standards today. We only know about people from history books and what writings they left behind to understand who they were and what was on their mind. I personally do not know Ron Paul and have felt for more than twenty years he was micturiting against a hurricane in Congress because of all the corruption in Washington, especially in the Justice Depar...

What Ron Paul Might Have Said About That 47

(19)

“ totalitarian-minded enemies of a free society (i.e., most politicians of all parties) would say and do anything to destroy all roadblocks to their totalitarian dreams.” This quote describes the “European Union” totalitarian dream. I have felt for more than twenty years that saving the “Republic” was only a freeman’s dream because the “totalitarian dream” had a head start, at least on my aspirations. I thoug...

If the law won't stop market rigging, what can we do

(5)

It is my belief, because I am not as well read as most readers here on the subject, that when the gold was confiscated by Roosevelt its main purpose was to take control of the economy because electronic money did not exist and what people had in hand was the real thing and the control. People withdrew their gold coin from the banks and kept it at home thus they were in charge. So what had to be done is take th...

Gary Dorsch - SirChartsAlot

If Romney Wins, Expect the End of Quantitative Easing

(4)

Mr. Dorsch is living in a different world than most. Changing Fed chairman will not effect the current policy; unless Romney flip flops and sheds his neoconservative feathers. Romney is more hawkish than the Teleprompter-in-chief as for starting a war with Iran, Syria or China. We are going to have a war because the “advisers” of both candidates are all like minded people. It would be impossible to have a wa...

Ron Paul

Government Dependency Will End in Chaos

(17)

An important point that has been hide from the public since its inception is the fact that Social Security is not an insurance program. No, not an annuity or savings account nor death insurance but a welfare program. When someone “pays” into SS they are paying a tax. It is clearly stated as the Social Security payroll deduction tax. While I have heard of people asking for a refund of all income taxes they ha...

When the Riots Start the Government’s Response Will Be Brutal *Video*

(14)

It is hard to put the horses back in the coral after the gate has been open or putting all the down back in the pillow after a hurricane. When spoiled children a given their candy or gift every time they go to the store or supermarket it becomes an expectation of “right” and so it is difficult to halt the habit. This is the main problem with social charity, especially cash payments and medical reimbursement. ...

UKIP Holds the Whip Hand in Britain

(7)

The UK is as socialistic as other EU states; however they do allow more than two parties on their ballots unlike many USA states. Kudos to Nigel Farage, John Browne and many others for their leadership. It should be an encouragement to all truth seekers and liberty lovers how speaking the truth can change ill conceived and ill fated experiments. Quoting Ron Paul “Freedom is popular”.

Louis James - Casey Research

Lacy Hunt: "No Increase in Standard of Living Since 1997"

I have a very non scientific approach, which is supported by personal experience and knowledge, to this fact that the standard of living has been continuously declining since 1994 for average people. Real wages are evaporating. Any pay increase has been stolen by inflation. This, I believe is why few Americans save. For what is the use if when the savings is needed or wanted its value has diminished conside...

Should the States Secede Now

(23)

There is not a possibility of debating this very long dispute here. When men get involved in any thing political there is bound to be finger pointing and blame enough to go around; notwithstanding since the U.S. was the supposed victor it had the privilege of writing the history books. U.S. history books never mention the fact that a peace commission sent by President Elect Jefferson Davis to Washington to spe...

Maybe even a better place to start is with a knowledgeable county sheriff who is willing to kick out all federal invaders such as federal judges and company, tax collectors, all government agents and agencies who have no business or authority in a sovereign state or county. When the whole thing falls to pieces would be a very good time to act positively. Every county surly has such a woman or man.

I know the banks never considered other possibilities such as:

2. Snooping government agents can easily intimidate banks into giving out a lot of personal information and participating in illegal levies and seizures.
3. There is no bank privacy or secrecy and hasn't been for a very long time, at least 35 years.
4. Banking is not a personal business a...

At the end he states something that I feel sure was not what the GOP wanted him to say:

Ridiculous Claim: Fed Policy Not To Blame For Rising Food and Gas Prices

In September 2009 Krugman's column in the New York Times was lengthy and titled “How did Economist Get it so Wrong”. He very conveniently distanced himself from all those shortsighted economist. He states"As I see it, the economics profession went astray because economists, as a group, mistook beauty, clad in impressive-looking mathematics, for truth."

I saw on the same segment and in a interview with Bill Gates he said “buying gold was all emotional buying”. So anyone buying gold is not only a heathen in the wilderness but an emotional neurotic as well. Of course Bill admitted he had invested in silver and made a lot of money on that but gold buying was just emotional.

Krugman Finally Wins the Argument

Ron Paul has mentioned on more than one occasion that: if Krugman and the Keynesians are correct in their philosophy than why not send every man, women and child a check instead of sending it to the banks? If we are going to go ballistic with the printing press then at least some would invest in something real. Sure there would be a lot of Twinkies bought, however someone might buy a silver eagle or two.
