Doublethink: “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary.”
In case you missed it, the Bush Administration has recently proposed granting even MORE power to the Federal Reserve in an attempt to save our economy. Even though it’s the Federal Reserve’s fault that we’re even in this mess.
Ohhh wait, wait, I get it. April Fools right??
HA!! Good one!!
…RIGHT??
Why do the American people insist on giving growth hormone-laden Big Macs to an already overweight and bloated Federal Government? Why isn’t anybody feeding the Free Market?
The Federal Reserve is NOT Federal, nor do they have any reserves. They are not elected. They are accountable to nobody, including Congress. They meet in secret, and only they control the printing press that spits out our increasingly worthless dollars.
They’re counterfeiters, plain and simple. I’m reading Murray Rothbard’s “The Case Against the Fed” and I highly encourage any thinking American to do the same. Might I also suggest this online article, “Modest Proposal: The Federal Reserve Food System” if you desire something shorter that will still point out the obvious ridiculousness of turning to the Fed for help. If you don’t feel like reading anything, watch this video and unlock your own jail cell.
It seems America has become like Icarus, shivering and desperate, flying ever-higher towards the hot sun that is the Federal Reserve, not noticing the dripping wax collecting on the carpet of our Republic… how long do we have until our wings fall off?

The only person giving me hope as this story has unfolded, is as usual— Ron Paul.
Here’s a segment of his April 2nd questioning of Fed Chairman Bernanke:
“…And some day we might try the market to determine the interest rates.”
I LOVE HIM!!! Who else but Ron Paul could finish a Q & A with one of the men currently responsible for the increasing demise of our Republic and end with sarcasm. What does this guy eat for breakfast? How does he stay so calm, cool, and collected? Whatever it is— he’s got my vote.
“…The latest regulatory plan from the Treasury Department, with the potential to turn the Federal Reserve into a super-regulator overseeing state-chartered banks, bank holding companies, and acting as a guarantor of market stability, is another in a long line of half-baked government responses to financial difficulty.”

I’m not talking Student pages intended for high school and/or college students. I’m talking real kids: 5 year olds with sticky fingers that get Captain Crunch stuck up their nose. Well don’t worry, the government hasn’t forgotten about them, they’ve made sure they’re brainwashed as soon as they learn how to say “dot gov!”
