Federal Reserve May Consider Using Helicopter Money
Fed Chair Janet Yellen said it would only be used in an abnormal, extreme situation
BY: Ali Meyer  June 16, 2016 4:40 pm

*** begin quote ***

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said that the central bank might consider using helicopter money in an extreme economic downturn, at a press conference following the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday.

Helicopter money is a phrase used to describe the idea in which the government prints large sums of money in order to stimulate the economy.

Critics of helicopter money believe that the policy may lead to high inflation while proponents of the idea, such as Former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke believe that it is a valuable tool when conventional monetary policies are ineffective and when government debt is high.

*** end quote ***

“Money is a matter of functions four, a medium, a measure, a standard, a store.” He repeated that four times like poetry. “Six Characters in Money: Portable – Durable – Divisible – Uniformity – Limited Supply – Acceptability.” — CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 110

The “helicopter money” defies the “limited supply” characteristics.

The deliberate inflation of the money supply, that FED pursues as a policy, is violation of the trust that people place in the “money”. 

We can’t allow the Gooferment — with the aid and comfort of the FED, various bureaucrats, and the politicians — to “steal” from “We, The Sheeple”.  What little wealth that the poor and those on fixed incomes have gets silently “stolen” in the form of reduced purchasing power. The wages of workers buy less and less — I don’t see anyone getting “raises” to offset inflation. And, the rich elite can always protect themselves by buying stuff as opposed to holding “cash”.

Argh!

Wake up, Sheeple.

It’s a silent conspiracy to bankrupt the USA.

String together Stennet’s book on Pearl Harbor plus Operation Northwoods plus questions about 9/11 and you come to the conclusion that the United States Government aka the Deep Secret State is not to be trusted or believed.

TINFOILHAT: CIA connection to Boston Bombing and … … possibly … … Orlando

The Boston Bombings and the CIA Connection. Graham Fuller and Uncle Ruslan Tsarnaev
By F. William Engdahl GlobalResearch.ca
June 17, 2016

*** begin quote ***

One of the many unexplained (at least not officially) anomalies of the persons claimed to have carried out the Boston Marathon bombings is the presence of  key CIA figure in the direct family of the accused brothers.

Ruslan Tsarnaev, the outspoken uncle of the brothers was married to Samantha A. Fuller until 2004. Samantha’s father is Graham Fuller, the senior CIA person who was the architect the Afghan Islamic fundamentalist Mujahideen war against the Soviets. He is also involved in creating a global jihad network, presumably acting on behalf of CIA interests.

Ruslan Tsarnaev, who changed his name to Ruslan Tsarni, lives in a posh Washington DC suburb of Bethesda Maryland. He has worked in the past for companies tied to Dick Cheney’s Halliburton as well as a “consultant” in Kazakhstan with the State Department’s USAID which has been identified as a CIA front.

Take it all in The two brothers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, accused though never proven in a court of law to have been responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings, had an uncle, the same uncle who agreed to bury the remains of the one dead brother. This uncle was married to the daughter of Graham Fuller, one of the most important CIA architects of using Islamic Jihadists/terrorists against the USSR during the Cold War and after, throughout Central Asia, including Chechnya and Kazakhstan.

Coincidence?

*** end quote ***

It’s the unexplained connection to the CIA over and over that makes one think “false flag”.

Are we being manipulated?

In Orlando or Boston, how do we know the real “truth”?

Argh!

POLITICAL: State Militias as way to recapture lost State power

Monday, June 20, 2016

The Case for Restoring the State Militia System

*** begin quote ***

The state militias, which have largely been subsumed into the National Guard system since the First World War, were once the centerpiece of American defense. For most of the history of the republic, the federal army was small and concerned with the defense of borders and with providing a solid professional core of soldiers in the event of a major conflict. The majority of soldiers in such a war would be composed of members of the state militias.

*** end quote ***

It’s a interesting perspective that caused me to realize that this “militia” power has been stolen by the Federal Government from the individual States.

I’ve often thought that the 17th Amendment — the direct election of Senators for those from Gooferment Skrules — allowed for the growth of the Federal Gooferment thru unfunded mandates unchecked by the various State legislatures. 

At least, that was done via an amendment. Unlike what was done with the state militias / national guard, “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”, and the many un-Constitutional “Departments” and “Agencies”.

Argh!

POLITICAL: No US Money or Arms to Foreign States with Death Penalty for Gays

Sunday, June 19, 2016

Letter from J. Neil Schulman

Barack Obama: No US Money or Arms to Foreign States with Death Penalty for Gays

I just created the petition “Barack Obama: No US Money or Arms to Foreign States with Death Penalty for Gays” and wanted to see if you could help by publishing this in The Libertarian Enterprise. The petition also goes to Rand Paul and Justin Amash.

Full text of the petition: 

We demand an immediate end to any U.S. taxpayer funding, military aid, or provision of military-grade weapons to any foreign State that has laws providing a death penalty for being gay or being part of any LGBT community.

My goal is to reach 100 signatures and I need your support. You can read more and sign the petition here

Thanks!

GUNS: It takes time to reload

Sunday, June 19, 2016

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/06/andrew-p-napolitano/gun-free-zones-killing-zones/

In Defense of Self-Defense
By Andrew P. Napolitano
June 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

In the Orlando tragedy, the man who killed 49 and wounded 53 used a handgun and a rifle. The handgun accepted magazines containing 17 bullets, and the rifle accepted magazines containing 30 bullets. The killer, using both weapons, fired more than 250 times last Sunday morning. That means he reloaded his weapons about a dozen times. Each time he reloaded, he stopped shooting, as it is impossible for any person to shoot and reload simultaneously.

We know from forensics that the killer was a poor shot. We can deduce from that knowledge that he was a slow reloader. One learns to shoot first and reload later. It is likely that it took between three and seven seconds each time he reloaded the handgun and longer with the rifle. In those time periods, any trained person carrying a handgun in that Orlando nightclub could have wounded or killed him — and stopped the slaughter.

*** end quote ***

In all the angst and turmoil over all these “mass shootings”, the shooter has to reload. And, that takes time.

Even unarmed, the victims need to be courageous and take action.

Of course, it’s easier if armed. Even if that “arm” is just a swiss army knife, that MAY be enough to turn the tide of the battle. Even win the “war”. A knife to the neck can distract anyone.

Even though I’m not the example of the “trained shooter”, I can hit the center ring at 50 yards reliably. And, if I use the whole magazine, then I’m positively sure I can put one of them in the center ring. I hope that I can do as well “under fire”. If the killer is such a poor shooter, then it’s obvious he has practiced as much as the “average enthusiast”.

As the Judge points out that “gun free zones” ensures that it won’t be “free of guns”. Just guns in the possession of lawbreakers.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Senator Joe Manchin should resign

Host Calls For Senator Joe Manchin to Resign after Comments Over Due Process.
By Jason Stapleton –  Jun 17, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Yesterday I alluded to some comments by Senator Joe Manchin on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. The senator suggested that the problem with gun violence today has to do with due process. That pesky 5th amendment that requires the government to have evidence against you before charging you with a crime.

*** end quote ***

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/call-resignation-senator-joe-manchin 

When a Senator takes office he swears an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution of our country. Senator Joe Manchin has shown that he has not only failed to uphold the ideals of the Constitution, but is actively attempting to destroy the foundations of our country with his recent disregard and disapproval of the right to due process as outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment.

“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

I am calling on Congress to demand his resignation for failing to uphold his duties as a Senator.

I am pleased to sign this petition and urge everyone to do the same.

We don’t have to be “terrorized” into giving up our rights like “We, The Sheeple”!

A View On Orlando You Won’t Hear in The Mainstream Media
By Jason Stapleton –  Jun 13, 2016

It’s a struggle to talk about an event like the Orlando massacre. I mean, it would be easy if I just followed one pre-approved philosophical line. I could blame radical Islam, and certainly there is plenty of room for that. I could blame guns since it’s such an easy target. What you can’t do though is suggest our own actions may have been a contributing factor to the events this weekend.

# – # – # – # – # 

Jason made some great points:

  • Guns are not the issue. Although the talking heads have demonstrated that they know nothing about firearms (e.g., “gunshot loophole”; 700 rounds per minutes; “assault weapon”).
     
  • It was a gun free zone!
  • It’s not about gay rights. 
  • The police waited 4 hours to assault the nightclub. It’s a miracle that even more people didn’t die when you gave the bad guy all that time.
     
  • The guy was an American citizen who was investigated twice. His coworkers at the SECURITY firm say he was radicalized. So what are the background checks checking?
     
  • The US foreign policy is provoking the angry response. 

We need to have a serious conversation about the intrusive Gooferment interference in our everyday lives.

Ep. 679 Voting: Yes or No?
10th June 2016
Tom Woods

Michael Malice and I discuss the merits and demerits of voting — a contentious subject among libertarians. Although Michael is wrong as usual, it’s still fun to talk to him.

About the GuestMichael Malice is an author and celebrity ghostwriter. He is also a frequent guest on Kennedy on the FOX Business Network.

# – # – # – # – # 

Tom makes a good point that the R’s in general put up better Supreme Court Justice than the D’s general do.

But OTOH Michael points out that you are wasting your time and won’t change anything.

A hard question, but I don’t need a black and white answer. I’ll just pick and chose my battles. 

“Can’t spend yourself rich or vote yourself free.” — Michael Malice, 2016, celebrity ghostwriter

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Unconstitutional takings need to be stopped

Thursday, June 16, 2016

The Volokh Conspiracy
Opinion
An important legal victory for property rights in the North Carolina Supreme Court
By Ilya Somin June 12 at 11:35 AM 

*** begin quote ***

The North Carolina Supreme Court recently issued an important unanimous decision blocking what would have been a major uncompensated expropriation of property rights by the state. 

*** and ***

The decision has implications that go beyond the Map Act and the taking of property for road-building. Had the ruling gone the other way, it might well have opened the door to uncompensated takings in various other situations, as well. There are many situations where the state might want to lower the value of property by indefinitely banning development, so it can then take the property at a later date in order to use it for a public project, or even to transfer it to influential private interests under the guise of promoting “economic development” or alleviating blight. Such takings were ruled to be permissible “public uses” by the Supreme Court in the controversial Kelo case in 2005, and are still permitted in all too many states even in the aftermath of the massive political backlash against Kelo.

*** end quote ***

Unfortunately, Kelo was a disaster. 

We strayed far from the Constitutional meaning of “taking”.

“We, The Sheeple” need to push the politicians and bureaucrats harder for more legal protections. Every “taking” must be vigorously opposed.

Argh!
