231 House Democrats Vote to Proceed with Impeachment of Trump

Thursday, September 26, 2019

While the procedures are slightly D.C. insider-sounding, this vote, forced by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, represents the first time the lower Chamber of Congress has officially gone on record with regard to the impeachment of Trump, and it forces vulnerable Democrats who were waffling on whether to publicly back removal of the president from office by force on the record in support of the radical leftist wing of the party.

Interesting if this hurts the vulnerable D’s and helps the R’s in general.

The politics are fascinating.

All other issues have been pushed to the side to impeach.

Do they really think that the R controlled Senate will remove a sitting President?

It’s never happened before.

And, what will be the results to Ds of a failed  removal?

Could it be the end of the D’s as a party?

As a little L libertarian, I hope that the Libertarian Party can move up to second place as I think the D’d will dissolve into: a radical left socialist party (20%), a green party (10%), and a fragment of its former self a alternative to the R’s (20%).  Hopefully the L’s will inherit 25% of the leftover and the rest just abandon politics entirely.

One can only hope.

FARK.com: Fark Video Player (10567165) I have no idea what you’re talking about, so here’s a beautiful Nordic woman summoning cows with an ancient herding call

Wednesday, September 25, 2019

In the middle of the bright summernight I went out to call for the cows. I thought that maybe, something deep inside them, remember the sounds from the ancient times when people called for them over far distances.

The Coup Has Begun – The Empire Strikes Back Everywhere – Gold Goats ‘n Guns

Wednesday, September 25, 2019

*** begin quote ***

Brits and Americans alike are learning the terrible lesson that it is time to put away childish things like representative government and that elections matter. They don’t. You will be presented with nothing but Hobson’s Choices from here forward.

The image you hold in your head of your country is not the reality of the one you live in.

The dystopia is real.

*** end quote ***

I have no idea how to reverse course and recover the “American Experiment”.

I have some bullet points:

  • End the Fed; reestablish a gold standard
  • End Gooferment Skrules
  • Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment
  • Make the FDA an advisory body
  • Kill the unconstitutional agencies: DOE, DOEd, HUD, etc. etc.

That would be a great start back to freedom, imho.

When Will the U.S. Dollar Collapse?

Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Two conditions must be in place before the dollar could collapse.

First, there must be an underlying weakness. Between 2002 and 2018, the dollar declined 6% according to the U.S. Dollar Index. Why? The U.S. debt almost tripled during that period, from $6 trillion to $22 trillion. The debt-to-gross domestic product ratio exceeded 100%. That increased the chance the United States would let the dollar’s value slide so it could repay its debt with cheaper money.

Second, there must be a viable currency alternative for everyone to buy. The dollar’s strength is based on its use as the world’s reserve currency. The dollar became the reserve currency in 1973 when President Richard Nixon abandoned the gold standard. As a global currency, the dollar is used for half of all cross-border transactions. That requires central banks to hold the dollar in their reserves to pay for these transactions. As a result, 61% of these foreign currency reserves are in dollars.

PROMPTED BY A COMMENT FROM MY LUDDITE FRIEND:

Just like the now fake “half gallon” of ice cream, they also look for ways to save money.

True. But it’s not about “saving money”, imho it’s about “disguising the price increase” from “We, The Sheeple”.  And subsequently placing the blame on the FED (note 1) who has eliminated “penny candy”.  The dollar has lost almost all its purchasing power during our lifetime.  All to facilitate the out of control spending by politicians and bureaucrats at all levels.

Argh!  Makes me crazy. And not crazy haha, but crazy nuts that people don’t see it.  Or if they do, they don’t care.

(note 1) 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.

Feds: Venezuelans smuggled gold into Miami by plane | Miami Herald

Tuesday, September 24, 2019

After being detained, Sanchez Rojas, 41, told federal agents that he obtained the gold from “multiple sources” in Venezuela and planned to sell it in the United States, according to the affidavit. He said he was working for an “organization [that] had previously smuggled gold into the U.S.” and expected to receive a fee. Fossi Grieco, 51, said he met people in Venezuela to pick up the gold and stored it in the nose of the plane for two days before flying to Fort Lauderdale. He said he was to receive a commission for successful delivery of the smuggled metal, which weighed 230 pounds, according to federal agents.

How Greta Thunberg’s rise could backfire on environmentalists

Tuesday, September 24, 2019

Just how inspiring or even persuasive you find Greta’s speeches and overall activism likely depends on where you stand on the political spectrum. There are plenty of politicians and regular voters claiming to be inspired by her words and passion. There are also lots of observers expressing general alarm at what they see as an indoctrinated child being coerced by adults to make their political arguments with her youth as a shield from any criticism.

*** begin quote ***

Environment activist Greta Thunberg made a fiery appearance at the United Nations Climate Summit on Monday where she broke down in tears while furiously scolding international delegates. ‘I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,’ the 16-year-old Swedish activist thundered in her speech at the Climate Action Summit 2019 in New York. Thunberg was seen at the UN headquarters Monday morning with an enraged expression on her face as US President Donald Trump upstaged her entrance by walking in behind her flanked by news reporters. The UN summit convened to have nations make plans to confront global warming and rising fossil fuel emissions.

“stolen my dreams and my childhood”?

Really?

I don’t understand that.  Other than it makes a nice headline.

Hard to imaging that this “sixteen year old” hasn’t had “adult” coaching?

Argh!

When Hurricane Hugo hit Georgetown County 30 years ago, the big storm pounded a barren sand spit at the south end of Litchfield Beach, chewing up dunes and eroding the oceanfront, before cutting through South Carolina on a trail of destruction.
