GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Beck calls the FED out
Wednesday, September 16, 2009Glen Beck on his show now just called out the FED.
“Helicopter” Ben testified that the FED would NOT monetize the debt.
Today, Glen, with some help, demonstrated that the FED auctioned debt to the “public” and the next month bought that specific debt on the secondary market.
Can you say “shell game”?
I bet the Chinese are really steamed with their 5T$!

RANT: Congress is disingenuous
Tuesday, September 15, 2009http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125303051628912339.html?mod=djemalertNEWS
The House voted 240-179 along party lines to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson over his “you lie” outburst to President Barack Obama during the president’s health-care speech to Congress last week.
# – # – #
Sorry, but where was the “admonishment” when they booed President Bush.
Like Sara’s “death panel” facebook post, with out Joe’s outburst, “illegal” aliens (an assinine concept) would be getting free health care. (In addition to everything else)
Argh!
Who’s going to call them out about “not one dime added to the debt”, cutting Medicare (real cuts; not controlling growth), and all the other “barbara streisand”?

POLITICS: Obama’s turning point

Obama’s turning point
AntiWar.Com
by Philip Giraldi
*** begin quote ***
“If Obama gives McChrystal his soldiers he will be heading down the road to disaster. When reliably conservative columnist George Will calls for leaving Afghanistan , the writing is surely on the wall. Even Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Michael Mullen has conceded that the United States has effectively wasted more than seven years in Afghanistan and now has to start over, an assessment that is actually optimistic in that it presumes that there is a way to achieve success, whatever that means. Obama can read the tea leaves as well as anyone. Will he do an LBJ and, in the cowardly fashion of a politician placing party above country, support a war that he knows is lost or will he make the courageous and correct choice to speak candidly to the American people and admit that Afghanistan has been a failed US policy and that it is time to walk away? Or will he adopt a third way that is neither fish nor fowl, going with the status quo and supporting current troop levels and funding, even though he knows to do so is futile, in the hope that he will not be labeled as the president who ‘lost’ Afghanistan?” (09/10/09)

RANT: An open letter to Bill O’Reilly
Tuesday, September 15, 2009OPEN EMAIL TO BILL O’REILLY
Bill:
Like your show, find it “challenging”.
My pithy comment for you is that “The government gets to tell its version of every story that may or may not be the truth. It appears to take decades for the whole truth to leak out from the edges.”
Did FDR know about Pearl Harbor? Historians have long debated whether President Roosevelt had advance knowledge of Japan’s December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Using documents pried loose through the Freedom of Information Act during 17 years of research, Stinnett provides overwhelming evidence that FDR and his top advisers knew that Japanese warships were heading toward Hawaii. The heart of his argument is even more inflammatory: Stinnett argues that FDR, who desired to sway public opinion in support of U.S. entry into WWII, instigated a policy intended to provoke a Japanese attack.
Kennedy assassination? As an amateur shooter, that shot, at a moving car with a junk rifle without practice from elevation and with swirling wind, is per se “unbelievable”. A killing zone ambush from the grassy knoll and one other position (i.e., the three shots of Zapruder audio) is much more plausible.
And on and on. Truth about Lincoln leaks out. Wilson campaigning on a Peace Platform. FDR follows Hoover’s plan. LBJ Gulf of Tonkin. The Federal Reserve creation at Jekyll Island.
And this on the WTC.
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2009/09/10/911-our-truth-and-theirs/
*** begin quote ***
Of course, the Israelis and our own government denied everything. Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli government, scoffed: Israel, spying on the United States? Why, who ever heard of such a thing?! The US government, for its part, disdained all such reports as “an urban myth.” The Israel lobby moved quickly to make sure the Cameron reports were thrown down the Memory Hole, and Cameron was accused of – you guessed it! – “anti-Semitism,” on account of having spent time in the Middle East in his youth.
*** end quote ***
I’d just like you to be a little more skeptical of the “official story”. Admit that the powers that be, and their willing accomplices in the main stream media, want the sheeple kept in the dark, stupid with today’s gooferment union education, and paying for the privilege.
Yes, I’m a “birther”. I don’t know what to believe. For me what gives the story “legs” is Obama spending good money to keep everything hidden. That’s the smoke that sets off the detectors.
Unfortunately for what once was the Great Republic, we have smoke ‘n’ mirrors being used all over the place to our detriment.
As a tin foil hat kinda guy, it’s too bad we can’t treat all conspirators like Arthur Thistlewood. Maybe then we’d get the truth from the government.
Don’t be so trusting! To quote the fictional Doctor House, “They all lie.” And, I’m shocked — “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca — that you are more circumspect.
P.S., Instead of interviewing the beautiful people, how about giving a “conspiracy nut” two minutes on video to express their favorite conspiracy and then you can rip them to shreds. But, be careful, you might find an erie thread of truth in their statement. Then what will you do?

State of Texas Forces Couple Into Nursing Home, Takes Over Their Finances
Radley Balko
September 11, 2009, 3:36pm
*** begin quote ***
The state refuses to give the Kidds an accounting of how it is spending their money, the reason apparently being that because they were deemed mentally deficient, they lack standing to even ask for financial records. The couple was given a court-appointed attorney (paid for from the Kidds’ savings), but he looks to have worked all of 10 hours on their case. According to neighbors, the state has since allowed the Kidds’ home deteriorate, and didn’t even bother to lock the doors after taking the couple into custody. The local Fox affiliate reported at the end of last month that state officials were also planning to sell the couple’s home at auction. Media coverage seems to have pressured a local judge to put off the sale, at least for now.

“Liberal” is still the worst and remains the only political description that is viewed more negatively than positively.

At one time, “liberal” was a good word.
In the days of the “king”, it was “liberal” to champion individual rights. “Conservatives” supported the King!
The little guys, the serfs, the near slaves, sought the protection of the Church.
The Dead Old White Guys were all liberals in opposition to the King.
Now days, it’s hard to see anyone looking out for us serfs.

(3) Without end to end encryption, nothing is private. Every packet is a post card.

Lehman Monday Morning Lesson Lost With Obama Regulator-in-Chief
By Alison Fitzgerald and Christine Harper
*** begin quote ***
“They should be broken up and sold off,” Fine, 58, said he declared, as Geithner scribbled notes before thanking him for his time and ushering him out into the January chill.
The Treasury secretary didn’t follow through on Fine’s suggestion, just as he didn’t act on the advice of former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul A. Volcker, or Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. head Sheila C. Bair, or the dozens of economists and politicians who pressed the White House for measures that would limit the size or activities of U.S. banks.
One year after the demise of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. paralyzed the financial system, “mega-banks,” as Fine’s group calls them, are as interconnected and inscrutable as ever. The Obama administration’s plan for a regulatory overhaul wouldn’t force them to shrink or simplify their structure.
*** end quote ***
Washington is corrupt.
Big financial entities make BIG financial contributions.
We probably don’t know half of the stuff that goes on below the surface.
So, we the taxpayers, get screwed repeatedly.
If you were the regulator, and you were presented with an “easy” solution (i.e., break up, sell off, and limit the future size), what would you do?
Seems easy to me.
Pick a big number say 1B$ (that’s billion with a B) and say “No finaincial entity insured by the Fed or the Federal Government gets bigger than that!”
Seems trivial to me.
But, where would the big campaign contributions and payoffs come from?
Washington and all the little DCs are corrupt.
We need more work, workers, and a lot less politicians.
Every wonder why there are SO MANY lawyers?

FUN: What should Insurance Companies do in response to Obamacare? (WWICD)
Saturday, September 12, 2009http://knappster.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-insurance-companies-should-do.html
*** begin quote ***
In my last post on ObamaCare, I put myself in the shoes of the President of the United States. Now I’m going to put myself in the shoes of the president of an insurance company. If I found myself in that position, I’d be getting my ducks in a row right now — calling emergency board meetings, working out details with the company’s officers, etc. I’d be ready to move the instant it became obvious that this bill was going to pass, and this is what my move would look like:
– I’d inform the company’s policyholders that the company is going out of business at the end of the next billing cycle, that their policies will be canceled effective that date, and that they’ll need to find coverage elsewhere;
– I’d inform the company’s workers that their employment is drawing to an end; and
– I’d inform stockholders that the company’s assets are to be liquidated through arranged profitable sale where possible and auction where necessary, and that after the company’s debts are settled and liabilities zeroed out, each stockholder will receive a final dividend per share from any remaining monies.
I might or might not send a note to President Obama, Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi. If I did, it would be short and to the point:
Find some other business to run, asshole — this one’s no longer available.

* To keep buyers informed about their shipments, we display the shipping information in the buyer’s Amazon account, and we also send the buyer an e-mail notification with all the shipping information.
* You can cancel an order, if necessary, instead of confirming the shipment, and then we will not charge the buyer at all and you will not have to issue a refund.

When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on.
When a man spends someone else’s money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn’t care at all how much he spends.
And when a man spends someone else’s money on someone else, he doesn’t care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that’s government for you.”

I think, at this point, that nothing can be fixed via the political process. No ballots, no politicians, and no libertarian-lite legislation is going to restore liberty, because the political process has become so corrupt and its agents are immensely wealthy and empowered. We don’t have the political power to defeat them outright, but we do have the individual power – working in concert with one another – to resist them, impede them, protest them, deny them, and ally with others who wish to do the same.

PRODUCTIVITY: Copyrights hinder wisdom
Thursday, September 10, 2009http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/10/death-of-a-president200910?printable=true
A Clash of Camelots
Within months of J.F.K.’s death, the president’s widow asked William Manchester to write the authorized account of the assassination. He felt he couldn’t refuse her. Two years later, nearly broken by the task, Manchester found himself fighting a bitter, headline-making battle with Jackie and Bobby Kennedy over the finished book. The author chronicles the toll Manchester’s 1967 best-seller, The Death of a President, exacted—physically, emotionally, and financially—before it all but disappeared.
By Sam Kashner
October 2009
*** begin quote ***
By virtue of their original agreement with Harper & Row, the Kennedys continue to control the fate of The Death of a President. Even now, after William Manchester’s original manuscript has come home to Wesleyan, where it is held under a kind of house arrest—heavily censored, and subject to extremely restricted use—the Kennedy family has allowed the book to go out of print, according to John Manchester. Sitting in the bar at the Four Seasons Hotel in sight of Boston Common, where his father had first met Kennedy, when both men were newly home from the war, he says, “The Death of a President helped build that library, but if you go there today, there’s no mention of it or him anywhere. He was written out of their history.”
*** end quote ***
Interesting. Copyright law was intended to allow ideas to spread. Shouldn’t books that are “out of print” go into the public domain? With vendors like Lulu Print On Demand, there should NEVER be a reason for books to go “out of print”!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Disconnect between consumer and cost
Wednesday, September 9, 2009The best healthcare plan you’ve never heard of
Fox News Forum
by John Graham
*** begin quote ***
“By refusing to even consider consumer-driven healthcare (CDHC), congressional leaders are proving that they’re more interested in putting the government in charge of Americans’ healthcare than in actually improving patient outcomes. Decades of evidence show that CDHC-style reforms can achieve the stated goal of would-be health reformers: high-quality care at low cost. All the reform plans under consideration in Congress fail to address the biggest problem with our healthcare system: third parties, like insurance companies or the government, pay for just about everything. Consequently, Americans have no idea how much the medical services they consume cost. How much is a visit to a primary care doctor? Or a trip to a specialist? The average patient has no idea. Third-party payment shields people from the truth about how much they’re spending at the doctor’s office. As a result, most folks have no incentive to manage their healthcare expenditures, so make little effort to do so.” (09/03/09)

What President Obama should do
*** begin quote ***
I don’t support any variant of Obamacare that I’ve heard about (a number of different proposals are apparently floating in and out of different congressional committees). I don’t support any “reform” that includes more, rather than less, government involvement in health care. And in point of fact, in broad outline, I just don’t support the Obama administration’s agenda, period. 90% of it is just plain bad, and the other, decent 10% (closing Gitmo, ending torture and unlawful detention, etc.) went by the wayside in record time once his hand came off the Bible he was sworn in with.
*** end quote ***
I COMMENTED:
I too am a little L libertarian that has no use for EITHER party. Unlike you, if I was O, (being an unprincipled Chicago machine politician), I would give “stuff” galore to get ANY bill passed with a public option. Then I’d rest secure in the knowledge that this was the camel’s nose. And, in a decade or two, like FDR’s ponzi, there would be no way to prevent communism. They have the skools turning out functional illiterates. They’ve “won”. Too bad what they have won won’t sustain the parasite. imho

Tuesday, September 8, 2009*** begin quote ***
It doesn’t matter if liberals start calling national health care a “chocolate chip puppy” or “ice cream sunset” — if the government is subsidizing it, then the government calls the shots. And the moment the government gets its hands on the controls, it will be establishing death panels, forcing taxpayers to pay for abortions and illegal aliens, rationing care and then demanding yet more government control when partial government control creates a mess.
Which happens to be exactly what liberals are doing right now.
