WASHINGTON—Two Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Thursday that would require women to register for the draft in a step meant to advance a national debate about the Pentagon’s decision in December to open all military combat positions to women.

How about we save some money and ELIMINATE the draft and all those cushy patronage jobs?

MONEY: Stealing what’s left of your wealth

So The Seizure Begins: Bloomberg Op-Ed Calls For An End Of Cash
by ZeroHedge • February 1, 2016

*** begin quote ***

In a moment of curious serendipity, a little over 90 minutes after we showed what a dystopian, centrally-planned, cashless society unleashed in a negative interest rate world would look like (“by forcing people and companies to convert their paper money into bank deposits, the hope is that they can be persuaded (coerced?) to spend that money rather than save it because those deposits will carry considerable costs”), and briefly after we laid out the countless recent warnings from “very serious people” that cash is evil and should be banned:

This is all about stealing what little wealth the people have left.

The “powers that be” keep figuring out ways to force people to support the fat cat businesses.

Argh!

GUNS: The antigun movement wants to control everyone

The Ultimate Goal of the Antigun Movement
By Roger J. Katz AmmoLand.com
January 29, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Realization of the movement’s goal amounts to de facto repeal of the fundamental right of the people to keep and bear arms – a right expressed clearly and cogently, succinctly and indelibly, in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Yet, if there exist any residual doubt as to the import of that right, the U.S. Supreme Court laid such doubt to rest in the 2008 Heller and 2010 McDonald decisions.

*** end quote ***

When any of the “anti-gun” on the Left, OR the Right, talk, then we need to be very afraid.

It takes a Gooferment to commit genocide.

Just remember, the politicians and bureaucrats are restricted to what the can do to “minorities”! (AND we are all some kind of “minority”.) 

I don’t understand why this is not as obvious to everyone as it is to me.

Has anyone remember what Stalin, PolPot, or Mao did. (By comparison, Hitler was a piker!)

And, I get enraged when folks say “it can’t happen here”. Remember the Japanese Americans, the American Indians, or any “minority”?

Molon labe.

TECHNOLOGY: Worried about remote overrides to stop stolen car?

TECHTech Q&A: Saving money on Internet, finding Wi-Fi dead spots
By Kim Komando  Published January 31, 2016  The Kim Komando Show

*** begin quote ***

Q. I love the technology coming out in high-end cars. When do you think I’ll get it in an affordable car?

A. You can expect high-end features like autopilot, “driver overrides” that take control before a crash, and remote overrides to stop stolen cars, in most cars by 2020. However, add-ons like heads-up-displays, fingerprint key fobs and dash cams should be available sooner, and you can even find some now. Learn more about car tech you’ll see soon that will keep you safe.

*** end quote ***

Well, they better improve security before they do this. 

I can see the bad guys following a pretty young girl until they come to an “opportune location” and hitting the “remote override stop”. Instant victim.

Yes, maybe I’m paranoid who sees monsters behind every turn.

GOLDBUG: Germany Repatriate 200 Tons

Uncertain Times Sees Germany Repatriate 200 Tonnes Of Gold Bullion
By Mark O’Byrne
GoldCore
January 29, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The Bundesbank’s repatriation of 200 tonnes of gold bullion reaffirms the fact that central banks today still view gold as a vital safe haven reserve currency and monetary asset. It also indicates a lack of trust between central banks and specifically with the Federal Reserve, whose gold reserves have not been audited in over 50 years and many have doubts about the integrity of those reserves.

*** end quote ***

I got my gold. Do you?

Do you trust the Gooferment, politicians, or bureaucrats?

I don’t!

Why do you?
