The Federal Reserve needs more power, brilliant!

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.”

- From George Orwell’s novel, “Nineteen Eighty Four”

Paulson, you’re a genius.

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.”

1984 is back: House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill

By Lee Rogers - Rogue Government

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled “The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism.

If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Amazingly, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill. There is little doubt that this bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution. First let’s take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill.

The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any belief system that the government considers to be an extremist agenda. Since the bill doesn’t specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government.

Considering how much the government has done to destroy the Constitution they could even define Ron Paul supporters as promoting an extremist belief system. Literally, the government according to this definition can define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime. The definition as defined in the bill is shown below.

Why is the U.S. Air Force “standing down” tomorrow?

How is this good for national security after the Boogeyman has just magically and conveniently resurfaced? How is this an appropriate response to “accidentally” flying 6 nukes across the country last month? Why are we announcing our vulnerability? To try and provoke an attack so we have a pretext for attacking Iran? Or will we just attack ourselves again?

Haven’t you heard about this?
It’s here. And here. And here. And here.

From Christian Newsire:

“…the entire Air Combat Command will stand down for a day following the incident involving the B-52 bomber that transported nuclear-armed missiles without the crew’s knowledge.

The Air Force Times reported that the entire command – about 100,000 active-duty airmen – will be in military classrooms on Friday. The stand down was ordered by the Air Combat Command chief General Ronald Keys.

[Christian radio talk show host] Rick Wiles said he is stunned by the stand down orders. “Does General Keys know that Osama bin Laden recently resurfaced?” asked Wiles. “Why would America’s entire Air Combat Command stand down precisely when America’s top enemy stands up?

Wiles said Gen. Keys’ stand down orders came as CIA Director General Michael Hayden told the Council on Foreign Relations that al-Qaeda’s leadership is planning high-impact plots against the United States of America “that would produce mass casualties, dramatic destruction and significant economic aftershocks.”

Wiles said, “There’s something wrong with this picture. The CIA chief is openly warning that al-Qaeda is plotting attacks on U.S. soil that could kill large numbers of Americans and wreck our economy. At the same time, the commander of the Air Combat Command has told al-Qaeda and every other enemy that we won’t have air defenses for an entire day or longer.”

Regardless of whether you believe that Osama is the boogeyman (I obviously don’t) — the fact is, this is suspicious WTF-is-going-on kind of s—t. PrisonPlanet.com seems to think this is an attempt to discredit the 9/11 Truth movement now that it’s really gaining momentum.

But even Air America is talking about this, and that’s inching a bit closer to mainstream media. Yesterday the Randi Rhodes Show discussed it, and last night the Clout show spoke up. Not only about this, but also the connection with 9/11 Truth and false-flag terrorism. I could hardly believe what I was hearing on the radio. TRUTH for a change!

Alarmist, perhaps. But there are real dots to connect:

I can only say so much, there’s the info, take it how you wish. I’m done feeling guilty and burdened by other people’s ignorance and apathy. Wolf! Wolf! Wolf? You decide.

If nothing else, stay vigilant.

Okay kids, raise your hand if you can say Geospatial-Intelligence!

Have you ever taken the time to peruse the lovely assortment of government websites out there? You should— your tax dollars pay for them. There are some really great ones like THOMAS and the Library of Congress. And who can forget whitehouse.org? — Oops, I mean whitehouse.gov.

Some sites are just downright creepy, some are more amusing than watching Bush try to piece together a coherent sentence. I first realized their entertainment value after visiting the TSA website, researching whether I was allowed to bring 3 or 4 ounces of face lotion/potential bomb-making cream on a recent trip to Los Angeles. Not only did I find the answer to that mind-boggling National Security question, I also found the “Are you on a watch list?” page. What fun!

I thought I had grasped the extent of it, but then I found that most every government website also has a kids page. 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!”

Here are some of my personal favorites:

I know what you’re thinking. It was the first thing in my head too. Why in the world doesn’t the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency have a Children’s page?? Never fear, they have one too.

Next thing you know, the Army’s gonna market a video game to kids in a pathetic attempt to glorify warfare and murder so they can meet their recruitment goals. Oh, wait…
