Eric “Nuke ‘Em” Swalwell Wants To Take Your Guns And Jail Anyone Who Resists | Zero Hedge

Tuesday, April 16, 2019

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper on Sunday, Swalwell – who last year joked about nuking gun owners who refuse to give up their firearms –  discussed his longstanding proposal to ban so-called ‘assault weapons.’

I foresee a real messy “civil war” if they try.

It’s a “hill” that many, if not all, gun owners will die on.

We all know that without “gun control” genocide would be impossible.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” — apocryphal unsourced quote attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

It just can’t happen without a lot of bloodshed.

Silver versus Debt, Delusions and Devaluation | The Deviant Investor

Tuesday, April 16, 2019

Silver prices are too low based on five decades of history and via comparisons to national debt, the S&P 500 Index and gold. Expect silver prices to rise far higher in coming years as the over-leveraged financial system resets and rebalances.

My Money, My Choice: Remember Taxation Is Theft On April 15th | Zero Hedge

Abolish The 16th

Defenders of the IRS often espouse the fallacy that taxes are how we pay for a civilized society. If it weren’t for the government, who would pave the roads? Who would educate the children? Who would confiscate your earnings? But here’s a better question, one that suits the state much better: If it weren’t for the government breaking your legs, who would give you a crutch? That’s the real nature of government; it’s not the benevolent force out to do good that some statists believe is the case.

Prior to 1913 No One Paid Income Tax. Why Now? | | Tenth Amendment Center

Monday, April 15, 2019

Of course, those receiving and benefiting from these programs will defend them.  But the fact remains that tax monies provide largely government jobs, which are almost entirely consumption jobs (jobs that consume the production of society but produce little consumable).  Such jobs cannot produce for public consumption a potato, a carton of milk, or even a can of hair spray.  They bring another person to the table to eat, but not another to produce something to eat.

Seems like we need to get back to “lean” Constitutional activities and cut the warfare / welfare state down to a much more manageable size.

Regardless of who’s in charge — the Democans or the Republicrats — Gooferment just gets bigger and bigger.

No new programs, no new taxes, and an ongoing program of 1% annual real bottom line cuts.

This is a direct consequence of the welfare state.

Would Patients Be Able to Escape BernieCare? – WSJ

Thursday, April 11, 2019

In other words, you are free to choose any doctor the federal government allows you to choose. On at least one point, Mr. Sanders is being honest. He’s not even trying to sell the Obama whopper that patients will get to keep the plans and the doctors they like.

I like “Bernie-care” even less than I do “Obama-care”, “Medicare”, “Medicaid”, VA care, “Indian Healthcare System”, or any such nonsense.  Hopefully we can get to “health insurance” that’s regulated as loosely as Life Insurance.

Cheap, easy to get, and very simple to collect on.

Argh!

Let’s separate “health”, “health care”, “health care insurance”, or something else from the Gooferment.

Trump is Right to Blow Up the Fed | The American Conservative

Wednesday, April 10, 2019

While the Fed is meant to be independent from the executive branch on a day-to-day basis, it is certainly not independent of Congress or the law. Yet the Fed in recent years has shown a troubling tendency to deviate from its legal mandate and make up new authorities to fit the changing economic situation. Case in point: the dubious notion that we should seek a 2 percent rate of inflation.

It’s simple.  Like Doctor Ron Paul said: “End the Fed”!

Return to the “barbaric” old gold standard of “honest” money.

Let the invisible hand of the free market set the interest rate.

If interest rate is the “time preference for money”, then how could it EVER be naturally zero.

The FED —

The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians.

— has destroyed the USA with debt and trained “We, The Sheeple” not to save for a rainy day.

Argh!

Minimum wage hikes trigger ‘payroll tsunami,’ as small businesses cut back | Fox News

Tuesday, April 9, 2019

“For perspective, this is equivalent to eliminating nearly 50 percent of projected job growth between 2016 and 2026,” Ben Gitis, director of labor market policy at American Action Forum, wrote. “Maryland is not in a strong position to absorb this shock, as it continued to experience below-average job growth while the state implemented its previous minimum wage hike from 2014 to 2018.”
