Dear Citigroup…

Citibank Student Loans
P.O. Box 6191
Sioux Falls, SD 57117-6191

Congratulations on your recent bailout by the Federal Government! I’m so glad to hear your stock won’t continue its freefall collapse— what a terrible Thanksgiving that would have made for your stockholders.

My reason for writing today actually has to do with this recent news. See, I still owe you guys quite a bit of money for my student loan. Now, I know you don’t like to positively reinforce your responsible borrowers who make their payments on time and in-full every month, but please hear me out.

Since my tax money is now being funneled to you (my calculations conclude $326 billion divided by the estimated 99,880,223 Americans who the IRS has deemed liable to pay taxes equals $3,264 per taxpayer) — surely I won’t be expected to pay Citibank over $3,000 indirectly by way of the bailout on top of the thousands I already owe you? That’s terribly unethical and I know your business would never compromise its moral standards just to make a buck.

So, I look forward to getting my updated loan balance with this amount subtracted. I can see why you bankers are so addicted to these bailouts, it’s such a load off my back!

Sincerely,
Acct. Number 19840033
Loyal usury victim since 2001

P.S. I’m sending a Thank You card to my nephews to thank them for sacrificing their future financial freedom in exchange for our American way of life and patriotic call to live beyond our means. I’ve included it with this letter, will you sign it too? Thanks, it would mean a lot!

Noticed a lack of updates?

I’ve been MIA from posting to PeaceChicken.com because I’ve been busy with another site: AbolishTheFed.net. Rather than double-posting everything, I’ll just redirect you there. If you’re looking for economic news you WON’T see on CNN or read in the USA Today, come check it out.

Otherwise — forgive the scarcity of posts for a while! There are only so many hours in the day…

R.I.P. Federal Reserve

11.22.08: End The Fed
National Day of Support for Constitutional, Sound Money

This is a HEADS UP to everyone who cares about their future –
in 4 days patriots will meet in 38 cities across the country to End the Federal Reserve and we need YOU there!

Are you ready to step away from the computer and join us?

WHY //

The Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional institution (see U.S. Constitution, Section 8, Clause 5) that drains the wealth of the American people through the inflationary process.

Despite silence on the true cause of our financial mess, every day it becomes more and more apparent that the #1 issue in our country is the economy and the falling dollar. Who is to blame for this? Who is printing all the money that drives down the value of our dollar? Who controls the interest rates upon which the fate of our banks, credit cards, loans, mortgages, and lives depend? These are very important questions to ask yourself.

One needn’t be an economist to understand: the Federal Reserve is neither federal, nor do they have any reserves. Our dollars are no longer backed by gold or silver. It is a “fiat” currency, and every economy that has used fiat currency in the past has ultimately collapsed. It’s time we demand that Congress END THE FED.

On November 22, 1910 the Federal Reserve Act was conceived at a private meeting of elite bankers. Ninety-eight years after its conception, we will gather to signal the end of its reign!

Patriots from across the country will join together to protest the Federal Reserve system. Activists will demand an END to private banker control over the nation’s money supply and the return to a hard, commodity backed monetary system.

WHERE //

All 38 Federal Reserve locations

WHEN //

This Saturday, November 22nd @ 12pm

DON’T FORGET //

Signs, banners, bullhorns, drums, whatever you need to make a statement.

Bush Pardons ALL Thanksgiving Turkeys

November 14, 2008 0 Comments Tags: .


(Can’t see the video? Click here.)

Wouldn’t that be a dream come true!

Unfortunately, over 5 MILLION turkeys will be slaughtered for this gluttonous tradition. I think if everybody watched this video though, they would think twice about eating turkey (or any meat) for Thanksgiving.

No Turkey on Thanksgiving?!

Yes, it can be done. A Google search for “vegetarian Thanksgiving recipes” gave me 283,000 results. I promise it’s possible.

In support of a Gentle Thanksgiving, PeaceChicken.com is asking you to pardon YOUR Thanksgiving turkey this year!

Is Obama loyal to We the People or We the Bankers?

November 7, 2008 0 Comments Tags: , , .

While you’re waiting for the magical CHANGE pill to kick in, ponder this:

What do these four companies have in common?

Give up? They were all top donors to Barack Obama and John McCain.

This is classic banker strategy, prop up BOTH candidates, so either way— they win.

How, exactly, do they win? Well, for starters, take a look at potential candidates for Obama’s Treasury Secretary:

  • Lawrence Summers, Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton and World Bank economist
  • Timothy Geithner, President of New York Federal Reserve and Treasury Undersecretary under Bill Clinton
  • Paul Volcker, former Federal Reserve Chairman
  • Jon Corzine, former Chairman of Goldman Sachs
  • Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase and Company

So, CHANGE is going to come in the form of putting either a former Clinton official and/or a former Wall St. big wig in charge of the Treasury Department.

That CHANGE is about as refreshing as room temperature coffee that’s been sitting in my car for a week.

Think about it. Really think about. Is it in the best interest of this country to put someone even remotely tied to the Federal Reserve Banking system — comprised of private bankers who profit IMMENSELY from federal gov’t. spending — in CHARGE of federal gov’t. spending?!

For now though, while people are still in their Barack the Vote dream land, he’s pretending like he gives a damn about what YOU THE PEOPLE think, and is asking for ideas to “help us solve the biggest challenges facing our country.”

If this post pisses you off (it should!), I strongly urge you to head over to the website and tell him what you think.

What did I suggest to him?

I told the President-Elect that if he really wants to fix this jacked up economy, instead of incessantly TREATING THE SYMPTOMS with complicated tax breaks and stimulus packages, he needs to CURE THE DISEASE by using the bully pulpit of the office of the President to urge Congress to abolish the Federal Reserve System.

Congressman Ron Paul has already introduced the legislation necessary to do so, the paperwork is already done. Ending the Fed and returning to a Constitutional sound monetary system where our currency isn’t printed and regulated by a private bank would do WONDERS for our economy, and it’s what the founding fathers had always intended.

I have many friends who voted for this guy. I hope anyone who truly adores and trusts Mr. Obama to bring forth this utopian Yes We Can! world will give him a real loyalty test and demand real changes, not recycled chunks of status quo.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies… The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”

Watching The Vote

November 4, 2008 0 Comments Tags: , .

I’ve been keeping an eye on OurVoteLive.org all day, watching the voting problems roll in as expected.


OurVoteLive.org is a great website that provides real-time information on voter reports and problems. You can view statistics nationally, state-by-state, or county-by-county.

In the spirit of transparent democracy, all the code is open-source. The project was a collaborative effort by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Verified Voting Foundation, and the Election Protection Coalition. I really think if these groups were put in charge of elections from now on, we’d all be much better off. Imagine— an open-source voting machine that wasn’t routed through GOP servers and gave you a receipt! But of course that would make too much sense.

As of this posting, there are 8,827 problems nationwide.

453 of those from Ohio, including this story of voters mysteriously dropped from the poll books in Columbus and Cleveland:

Voters in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) and Franklin County (Columbus) are reporting that:

  • after voting from same address for years, they suddenly have disappeared from the list at polls
  • they received a voter registration card/notice of registration and precinct, as recently as this fall — yet are not on the poll registry
  • they are on the statewide database (DB) but not on the poll registry

Same s—t, different year.

How people can still believe politicians when they say we’re spreading democracy abroad is beyond me. We can’t even tally our votes at home!

Anyway— stay vigilant, fellow citizens. Now is the time for accountability and documentation. If you or someone you know has experienced anything fishy, be sure to report it! Either call 866-OUR-VOTE or report it online here.

Would you like Socialism or Fascism? How about “None of the Above.”

Regardless of what happens tomorrow, you can’t say you weren’t warned. Wasn’t this post from September persuasive enough? How about this one? Or this one from June?

None of the above

Despite what your TV may say, there is no choice to make tomorrow.

It’s been systematically engineered so you will choose between two nearly identical candidates, and either way— Americans lose. Don’t believe me? See where they fall on the Nolan Chart political compass.

Would you like Big Government a la Socialism? Or Big Government a la Fascism?

McCain = Fascism:

A philosophy or system of government that is marked by stringent social and economic control, a strong, centralized government usually headed by a dictator, and often a policy of belligerent nationalism.

Obama = Socialism:

An economic, social and political doctrine which expresses the struggle for the equal distribution of wealth by eliminating private property and the exploitative ruling class.

I am not voting for Obama, nor am I voting for McCain.

They’re both part of the corporate-owned, two-party monopoly and both have globalist agendas that include less U.S. sovereignty (look up the NAU and CFR), they both want MORE war (McCain wants Iran, Obama and McCain want more Afghanistan), both have been silent on the imminent economic collapse headed our way, both are drooling for MORE spending and bigger government (we’re already $10 trillion in debt), and neither knows what the U.S. Constitution is about. McCain has voted in line with the U.S. Constitution only 36% of the time during this past Congressional session, Obama has upheld the Constitution a mere 11% of the time [see the JBS Freedom Index, Oct. 2008.]


“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results.”
- Albert Einstein

It’s not a donkey vs. an elephant, blue states vs. red states, liberal vs. conservative, or rich vs. poor. It’s SOCIALISM vs. FASCISM.

Personally, I like living in a Constitutional Republic and I don’t want my nephews to be burdened with trillions of dollars of debt or drafted into an endless war.

As if my family wasn’t reason enough, tomorrow a friend of mine heads back to Iraq for the third time and I know neither McCain or Obama will bring her back home any time soon.

I will end with some good news — there are FOUR other candidates on the ballot in Ohio:

For those who would argue that any of these four would be a wasted vote, I invite you to read this article. Indeed, those that vote for more of the two-party status quo are the ones wasting their vote. Those that refuse to settle are the TRUE patriots.

Please think before you make your decision tomorrow. Walk outside the confines of the D vs. R walls, turn off your TVs, and ask yourself who will really uphold our country’s values of freedom and liberty?

Our founding fathers and mothers didn’t fight the American Revolution in order that we may vote for a lesser of two evils. It’s time to take a stand and restore our republic so our children may have a better future ahead of them.


“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
