Center for American Progress: “We’re Not Broke!”

You may already know of one way cities, counties, states, and USA Inc. have fooled the masses re their money woes – the huge black budget each has under the rubric of CAFR or “Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.” Yes – the whole time your and my politicians are crying about the treasury being empty and in critical need of stuffing full again, they know about the massive slush fund that could be drawn on anytime but for reasons of the Federal Reserve conspiracy are not even mentioned to the public.

Another way to get everything solvent in a hurry is to abandon socialism including the hidden tax of inflation and the stinking inferno known as the IRS. But the politicians would rather die than go there. Meanwhile, some scholars at the abovementioned Washington think tank have another exciting, common-sense option to offer:

We Could Pay All Our Bills Without Borrowing a Cent

...........In "my" main discussion forum there's a whole thread on the sickening political pervert they call George Soros. If you've never homed in on his case he's probably just another ugly face in the crowd of the most filthy-rich world wreckers to you, but he seems to be one of the ultra-topmost in terms of power, loot and evil global influence.

There's only one problem with the link at hand here: in order to direct you to it, I'm going to have to make a confession. One of my specialties is chronicling the way a certain ethnic/religious tribe abuses its vastly disproportionate power in the world. I feel I do it quite objectively even though it's the furthest thing from social propriety. And this extra-controversial subject impinges on the page in question. If you want to go there, please promise first that if you find it offensive you'll point out specifically and factually where I'm wrong about it, with no mud-slinging or name-calling.

Deal? Ok.... if you want to read that page, simply google ""Topic: György Schwartz alias Deity George Soros". But only if you want the whole truth on a major topic!

For those that would rather not, a hot item as it was emailed to me:

http://www.mrc.org/bmi/commentary/2011/Unreported_Soros_Event_Aims_to_Remake_Entire_Global_Economy.html

The event is bringing together "more than 200 academic, business and government policy thought leaders' to repeat the famed 1944 Bretton Woods gathering that helped create the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Soros wants a new 'multilateral system," or an economic system where America isn't so dominant.

Harvard law prof sees it: destruction (or at least disappearance) of the middle class

..............BrasscheckTV, one of the few things to which I have a daily email subscription, just featured something highly unusual in its quest to unearth al the suppressed, politically incorrect truth it can. You may know that the world is full of eggheads -- professors, bean counters, intellectuals commentators, etc. who are highly degreed and respected but generally don't have any connection to the real world. Indeed, they have a great deal to do with keeping the System going, justifying and prettifying its every whim and atrocity.
You may also know that these happy, blessed, high-salaried, much-consulted angels of light are also sometimes charming and beautiful as they go about their fashionably deadly business, waltzing from positions in media or acedeme into government posts and vice versa with stunning fluidity. WellwellwellWELL, Brasscheck found one that has one real-world sonata in her repertoire: warning about the ongoing obliteration of the middle class. Said obliteration is, you'll recall, one of the ways the goals of communism are often summed up.
This pretty, vivacious lady is law professor Elizabeth Warren. Pretendent Obama appointed her to oversee implementation of TARP or "Troubled Asset Relief Program". She will now crunch numbers in ways Fed swami Bernanke and his cronies wouldn't like:

http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/642.html
The coming collapse of the American middle class

She deals with the tax curse somewhere and how it amplifies the effect of all other drains on families' finances today -- I thought this was in minute 25, but don't seem to find it there now.
In minute 56 she tosses off a remark that would make a perfect epitaph for the American economy: she notes that a few decades ago, many young people routinely lowrated their parents as "hopelessly middle class". Now they've gotten their wish in a vein of O. Henry-like irony: the middle class now includes them, but it's obligingly being ground down to nothing by the satanic techniques of the money masters, e.g. inflation and Comrade Marx's explicit dream, a "heavily graduated income tax".
I doubt any of her illustrious audience lost any sleep in response to her presentation or went running to their congresscritters to beg them to get rid of socialism. Thank God she phrased everything so sweetly and bouncily without pointing out the causes of anything she decried. Why, that would be considered socially improper, maybe even rude!

................New continues to surge forth re the catastrophe in Japan. Some say the situation is manageable, some disagree. Some say we Americans are in no danger, others say we're already drinking the radioactive kool-aid and are utterly doomed. NO doubt we should all be taking iodine tablets and preparing to sped a week or 10 days in a house thoroughly insulated with plastic sheeting and duct tape. Some less purely grim advice has surfaced as well:

Red wine can protect against radiation

Nutty News University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine - According to the latest research, red wine - along with its many other claimed benefits - may also protect you from radiation exposure. A team at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have discovered that resveratrol, the natural anti-oxidant found in red wine, can protect cells from the damage caused by radiation. In experiments on mice the scientists found that when combined with the chemical acetyl and administered before radiation exposure it protected the cells and helped prevent death. The results, to be presented to the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, could lead to drugs to counteract poisoning in the wake of a nuclear emergency or attack. More…

More immediately gagging in the atmosphere is the war fever that has not merely returned but simply continues to multiply itself. Don't ask what we're doing in Libya -- nobody's sufficiently explained why we entered World War I! But thank God, Enough freedom of speech remains that commentators are rightly and roundly denouncing it.
To me it has been obvious since 9/11 that the US federal government is the real terror force and the president (whoever it may be t a given time) the real Darth Vader. They attempt to terrify us into allowing them to terrorize non-Jewish Mideasterners. The richly embody the original, lately-forgotten meaning of "terrorism", i.e. making a violent example of a few in order to scare the many into compliance.
Surely you've noticed? Refuse to be X-rayed or groped by TSA flunkeys, and you will be detained for questioning. Take a stand for monetary sanity like Bernard von NotHaus and go to prison for 15 years. Refuse as a soldier to go to war for a fraudster president, and look forward to torture and humiliation in the gulag. They know how to manage crowds, i.e. that there's nothing like opening fire on the upstarts to get their attention.

Loath as I am to inject anything off-color or obscene -- and hard as I've tried to put a stop to it elsewhere -- I feel moved to share with you one such site for the simple reason that it embodies what may be the absolute highest concentration of unvarnished, starkly truthful commentary. You who can stomach gratuitous vulgarity by the ton may find it one of the funniest sites anywhere even though it deals in the most colossal and monstrous moral outrages of our time, making frequent reference to the same in past ages -- especially where war fever is concerned. For those not already familiar with Fred Reed's site Fred On Everything, here you go.

http://www.fredoneverything.net/


CONTEXT is what's missing from most forensics today, and context is what Fred has to offer by the ton, which he does with a total vacuum of respect for pretense and flummery! There are those whose wit makes you laugh and there are those that knock your funny bone simply by stating the obvious about the emperor's new clothes in ways even your favorite existing pundits don't. Let me know how you like him.
This from one of my main expat gurus:

Simon Black, SovereignMan.com:

Barack Obama himself said in 2002, "What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks... to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income?--?to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics."

Sounds great. Spoken like a true Nobel Laureate.

The intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy involved is phenomenal. The UN Security Council resolution (#1973) which 'authorized' this invasion, expresses condemnation for Qadaffi's deleterious actions against his own people...
... never mind that the exact same thing is happening in Bahrain (which produces only 10% of Libya's oil) where the US Navy's 5th Fleet is headquartered with front row seats to the show;
... never mind that governments have hardly uttered a word about the situation in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia;
... never mind that the western world has proven itself incompetent at regime change after the occupations of both Iraq and Afghanistan;
... never mind that 10-years of warfare have worn out the spirit and morale of fighting forces to the point that they are twisted into taking trophy photos of dead civilians like a 16-point buck;
... never mind that you can't just step in, bomb some targets, step out, and expect a peaceful, stable, democratic, pro-Western society to materialize out of thin air;
... nevermind that the coalition forces lack the moral authority to cherry pick which countries to invade and which civilian populations to ignore.

When they lack moral authority, they simply create it out of thin air. Politicians and bureaucrats equate morality with legality. If something is legal, it must be just... and if it's not legal, they'll pass a law or resolution making it legal... and hence just.
This is the way they operate-- using regulatory technicalities to wrap themselves in a blanket of righteousness in order to execute their agenda. As Tacitus said, "the more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."

South Carolina news to excite anyone from any state

After much turmoil and strife among South Carolina political types, it appears SC is going to soon see an official end to voice voting on legislation. This has been a surprisingly hot issue with some of our best legislators coming out against requiring that all their individual votes be on the record. The problem seems to be the fact that you sometimes have to vote for a bad bill to get a good measure in place, and if anybody can access your voting record people easily mistake your strategy. Some known good SC legislators have opposed the idea!

My gut instinct and yours, of course, is to have total transparency in the legislative process. Let's hope we get it and that many more conservatives get involved in lobbying in order to make this big little fight worth it.

Senate Passes Roll Call Voting Bill

The S.C. Senate passed a stand-alone roll call voting bill on Thursday, almost identical to legislation passed by the House and all but ensuring that a law requiring legislators to vote on the record is imminent. The bill would require roll call votes on each section of the annual state budget and any bill or joint resolution having the force and effect of law. The House still must concur with an insignificant language change the Senate made to the bill, but all indications suggest that the House will do so in short order. Read the rest of Investigative Reporter Eric Ward’s story here:

Congressman's IRS idea so close, yet so far

Gee whillikers, a CongressCritter has introduced a bill for a fresh new variation on the tired old theme of “how can we rearrange the present suicidal tax system rather than abolishing it”. No doubt his motives are excellent, and his idea would be an improvement of sorts by putting a lot of income tax camp followers – er, tax preparers – out of work. We don't wish the good people at (for instance) H&R Block ill we'd just love to see them working in some honorable profession that actually produces something useful – same for IRS agents.

Have the IRS prepare returns. FairTax. Flat Tax. How many tax shifts, shafts, shoves and shunts can our would-be saviors come up with rather than take Ron Paul's advice of “Abolish the income tax and replace it with nothing?” Yes, that is the Constitutional position, the moral and lawful answer, and by the way the only thing that works.

Income taxes are simply a form of cannibalism. Cannibalism is crime committed only by the the most demented sickos out there. We in the Patriot Network want what works. Accept no substitutes!

Congressman Proposes Bill to Let IRS Prepare Taxes

http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/Congressman-Proposes-Bill-Let-IRS-Prepare-Taxes-57665-1.html

Speaking of Ron Paul, here he is again in one of his absolutely most outspoken, jam-packed speeches before Congress. Oh, there's nothing here again but Constitutional common sense, but that becomes an amazing thig in a latter-day Untied States that absolutely despises common sense, logic, reason, caution and moderation in foreign policy.


Ron Paul: Leave Libya Alone!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-qm9U3X3EU

I confess I hesitate whenever feeling tempted to post an item that challenges the perpetual war fever that prevails since Bush called for a "new" world order and started smashing our former ally Iraq to pieces. I really don't want to offend anybody, and whereas peace was originally a conservative value, a great many of today's Americans have little use for it.

Many Americans have relatives in the armed forces, and this unfortunately robs a great many of them of any interest in the right and wrong of a particular war or aggressive action. We're expected to "support the troops" which is clearly right, but it somehow instantly turns people into war supporters as well. This is akin to the way so many people become big-government socialists the instant they receive their first Social Security check. Oh, forgive me -- I can't seem to stop morphing from concern to irony to sarcasm. I'm just a baby boomer who will never see a cent of SS money and notices that every time there's an action to "defend our freedoms" by killing hordes of distant strangers, freedom is what dies fastest right here. "Truth is the first casualty of war" -- old saying.

Whether you support the wars or side with the Founding Fathers in opposing constantly running off "in search of monsters to destroy" (John Quincy Adams) I beg you not to miss a second of the above video. It reminds us peaceniks how sane we really are, and can point more hawkish viewers to how very far we've strayed from every Constitutional principle today. Nothing Doctor Paul says has anything in common with the bilge spewing forth from other politicians, educators, media talking heads and the like. Nothing!

By an powerful coincidence, this page also came in today.

Fall of the American Empire – Mar. 20, 2011

It includes some exciting news (Tennessee Governor Gets Constitutional and Rejects Obama Care, Utah First State to Have an Official Gun) but also another remarkable video.

Warning to all who have jumped on the anti-Arab bandwagon or fallen prey to anti-Mideastern hysteria: it's a speech by the Nation of Islam's head honcho. I include it because it just happens to with everything the great Dr. Paul says above, albeit from a Muslim point of view. Our policy, you see, is to grab the truth wherever we find it, even if in the mouth of a real or imagined enemy. (Have you by chance read how Bush Sr. admonished Boy George Bush that it his plans for Iraq would be catastrophic for the USA? It's out there.)

We are no fans of Louis Farrakhan, a genuine racist and black supremacist, but note that he (being 78 years old) expresses himself in an old-fashioned way that is, most regrettably, giving way to totally graceless eructations. It's worth noting that PanamaLaw.org takes a pro-Israel and virtually anti-Arab/Muslim political stance!

.............Speaking of diversity and the amazing things it brings about, we are pleased as punch to let you know we've made the SPLC honor roll for what is probably the first time. This is in the category of "coming from you, that's a compliment!"

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2011/spring/active-patriot-groups-in-the-us

Let me explain. Ah, where to begin? It's sort of like a doctor attempting to explain the chemistry of cancer to a medical layman. The laughably-misnamed Southern Poverty Law Center is an extremely powerful, concentratedly liberal organization in Alabama that has got most government bodies convinced that it's an authority on bigotry, racism, and terrorists waiting to happen. If you'll notice, in every news report your hear about some supposed hate crime or "anti-semitic" act, the above entity is quoted as an "authority on terrorism", "recognized expert on hate," etc.

But it's all a colossal fraud. The SPLC isn't in the business of identifying threats to the public weal as they claim -- on the contrary it spends every woking day grossly enriching tself by scaring the wealthy into thinking the KKK or neo-Nazis are coming to get them. This the SPLC clowns do by compiling report after fraudulent report falsely tying in genuine conservative activism with any loony/wacko group or individual that makes any headlines -- you know, the way the liberal media instantly jump to equate a Ted McVeigh or Jared Lee Loughner with gun rights and tax freedom advocates, etc. Indeed, the SPLC has been the fuel for such flames of slander and defamation for over 20 years!

The SPLC is in fact the most spectacular hate group in the world. Hate is in fact its business -- and business is booming. Some years ago it bragged on having amassed a war chest of over $110 million via its junk-mail campaigns and mass hypnosis of the military, schools, and even local police departments. Part of its shtick is publishing lists of patriotic groups and leaders that the self-appointed SPLC thought police want the public to regard as the most menacing. But contrary to this twisted, malevolent intent, we the intended victims exult in being called evil by evil, e.g.:

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1004449/pg1

Indeed, Dr. Clarkson and this blogger were honored to be the main focus when the SPLC chose to do a feature story on Anderson-area patriotic workers.

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2004/spring/the-abbeville-horror/attack-of-the-ca

Don't be alarmed -- it's a smear of mammoth proportions. I wrote an eight-part series of articles for the Nationalist Times newspaper debunking the above story's inaccuracies! "Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets" -- Luke 6:22-23. Wow, that passage just brought in a great-looking Bible site:

Gold and Silver on the move out west; Fed and greenback under fire

Yes! for the first time this blogger is aware of, a state's legislature has passed a real-money bill and sent it to a governor. But what will happen from there? Will the pattern of "higher office, bigger sellout" hold true, or will the Beehive State perhaps the cutting edge of a rapidly growing movement -- the first to nullify federal tyranny on this critically important, red-hot issue?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/mar/10/utah-legislature-goes-gold-silver-legal-tender/#
Utah Legislature goes for gold, silver as currency options

The western states are a likely flashpoint for the great revolt against the New World Order if one should break out in this country. They were once the rugged "go west, young man" frontier and are blessedly far removed from Washington DC. They've seen the Sawgrass Rebellion, Sheriff Richard Mack (heard at Freedom Law School's recent conference to wild acclaim), Sheriff Joe Arpaio and other phenomena the fedgov doesn'tlike to think about.
Speaking of the vast gulf between the people and their alleged leaders, tax freedom warrior Larken Rose has just put together a perfect graphic representation of that scene, the IRS in particular:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6b70TUbdfs
TheTinyDot

This very brief and engaging animation is in fact a parable on the whole problem of government power that turns towering citizens into cowering subjects!
As April 15 looms closer the ameriKan sheeple are gearing up for the same old tired ritual -- and the feds have selected the next celebrity sacrifices:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110310/bs_ac/8023602_pacino_scorsese_slapped_with_irs_tax_liens
Pacino, Scorsese Slapped with IRS Tax Liens

There's another great gulf or you -- the one between the fantasy world of movie stars and producers and the real world in which April 15 could be merely another day of the year for these media deities -- but that would mean
really thinking outside the box for them, and I doubt they'd ever want to set foot in Hollywood again! If any of you happen to be friends with them, tell them we'll be happy to guide them to safety at this or any stage of their tax lifetime.

Due to the mass moral and spiritual guidance of their ilk, tyranny is galloping in every possibe aspect of life. Did you hear about the shiny new plan to harass any motorist who pays a toll with a larger-denomination of currency?

If you're starting to ask what there is in existence that the greedy govt-goons haven't already tried to tax, regulate, or otherwise ruin belonging to the people, you're not alone. The rationale for the above item is particularly galling: "to offset lost revenue under the Fed's proposed interchange fee cap." One more reason to get rid of the Fed -- tink how very many problems it would solve instantly.
Here's some more semi-comic relief. Comic in the sense that you have to laugh at such a buffoon passing himself off as President, "semi" in that it spells doom to any country that allows such politics to flourish!

IF --

Some of you will appreciate this and some of you will not. I do not offer an apology for this mailing, because all of it is true.

If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?

If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?

If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?

If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?

If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Tele-Prompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take the First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympic Athletes, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America?

If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?

If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympic Games would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have ever approved.

If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 21 months -- so you have at least that much time to come up with an answer.

Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

I wonder how many of you will pass this on?

Some of the fedgov high jinks discussed in the second link is part of a program called "dismantlement," i.e. Washington's latest scheme for putting patriotism out of business by attempting to move in on resistance groups and frame them as illegal, then haul them into kangaroo court. (Their actual legality is of no interest -- the fedgoons are just sick of being exposed and challenged!) "Dismantlement" is a crude recycling of the feds' massive COINTELPRO assault on the Bill of Rights which spectacularly blew up in the government's face.... and it was merely one of scads of Federal cloak-and-dagger "operations". Here's another that's just crossed my desk:

Fortunately, great activism is still flourishing. While the fed is putting some of America's best souls ad brains through hell, some are actually suing it, as did The Great One for years and years. This time it's a man from the direction you'd expect the absolute least -- Bloomberg news coverage!

When you see such a miraculous development reported by PBS, you can rest assured that the times they are indeed a-changin'. LOOK at the trillion$ in reporter Bob Everly's charts.... and they're not even talking CAFRs!?!?!!!!

More activism. can't get enough! Taking over a brainwashing meeting is extremely useful:

Metals still going to town! Opportunity strong but fading fast?

(A further shameless promotion for the PN's Gold And Silver Buying Club)

Nobody needs to have a picture drawn for them of what gold and silver are up to, but today's news links include a graphic illustration of silver's progress....

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-week-begins-with-japan-diving-and-silver-exploding-higher-again-2011-3

an article responsibly predicting that gold will more than triple to $6,000 per ounce (while blasting economic saboteur Warren Buffett en route)....

http://www.businessinsider.com/richard-russell-gold-6000-2011-3

and one partly authored by the same guy hailing Buffet's father Howard Homan Buffett as a legend among gold bugs!

http://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffetts-father-howard-2010-11

Here's a subject close to PN people's hearts, one exposed at our meetings as recently as last Saturday: Real ID, the zippy buzzword government bureau-rats and other schemers give to their long-held ream of slapping a high-tech national ID card on us all. But what's this – good news out of nowhere? It seems the graph just won't quiet down on this topic, either:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/05/homeland-security-delays-launch-real-id/

Homeland Security Delays Launch of 'Real ID' – Again

No doubt, this bizarrely wonderful and unexpected story is, like so much of what goes on now, a direct result of ACTIVISM by our kind of people. The news at the Simpsonville (SC) PN meeting was that several years after the people of this country had used their state governments like a megaphone to tell the feds “no deal” on the big Brother-like Real ID scheme, Washington was simply going ahead with its requirements in the brazen fashion it does everything. Our reporter said in effect that it was such a done deal that no further action was possible, only seeking means of dealing with it as a fait accompli.

Perhaps you saw it, too – the news that has shot through the email realm that this fight was to be all over in May? Let's hope Big Brother (Uncle Sam) and Big Mother (ghoulish, Martian-looking Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano) are simply crying uncle here, with no punches pulled. And if you fought Real ID when it first hove into view in 2007 (as did several PN members/friends) you get partial credit for one of the rollbacks the System resents and despises most.

In other freedom news, have your heard the latest concerning Westboro Baptist Church – the group that pickets funerals of our recent war casualties? This activity has been massively declared as pure First Amendment free expression.

It may not sound like good news at first. Church members showing up when loved ones are paying an American killed in active duty their last respects – and burying her? Picket signs saying things like “God loves dead soldiers” – what could be more un-American than that?

Depending on your opinion of the extremely far-fetched no-win “wars” the fedgov drags us into, it could indeed seem shocking. But we must give thanks for a miracle like the Supreme Court declaring such action legal – partly for what it says about all our rights. This itself was a major shock to this blogger, and another one came when another message arrived from the Sovereign Society joyously celebrating this win over censorship and repression.

http://bauman.sovereignsociety.com/2011/03/03/victory-for-first-amendment-free-speech/#more-1660

The Society is all about asset protection and expatriation, but the amazing thing is that the writer is former U.S. Rep. Robert Bauman. Sure, offshore-oriented pundits are alternative-minded, but they too have to watch who they offend in order to stay in business – and this funeral picketing issue is in the extreme category of controversiality!

My theory about the latter is that Westboro Bapist is trying to shout a prophetic message (in the manner of Isaiah or Jeremiah) at America that it has refused to hear and face up to via any other channel. The politicians refuse to face reality and grant it to the considerable number of citizens who want an end to the welfare-warfare state. The media play down the horrors of the conflict (like its total un-Constitutionality and mounting death toll) and play up superficial garbage. I doubt Westboro is even aiming its messge primarily at the grieving families, but rather using the propaganda value of the action to reach the masses. Let's hope the whole question is moot very soon.

Metals riding high – partly via the PN's Gold and Silver Buying Club

The amazing performance of silver and gold in the past couple of years has meant vindication of all who have for generations insisted that these metals were the only real American currency – including our late founder Dr. Robert B. Clarkson.

RBC was the most self-sacrificing, indeed selfless, person this blogger has ever known. Among his many other services to others was the Patriot Network Gold And Silver Buying Club – a very simple yet effective means he had of curing the public's greenback addiction and getting real money into the possession of hundreds or thousands of people. He never made much money at it, typically charging the least he possibly could.... but there's been a huge payoff for those who availed themselves of the Club before “federal reserve notes” started heading for the scrap heap with the onset of the present depression.

Already 15 years ago he was recounting having persuaded a lady to buy $100,000 worth at perhaps $3 or $4 per ounce, upon which the value of silver promptly doubled! But there's still time to get in on the ground floor, as inflation is just warming up at the present time and all experts agree it's going to get much, MUCH worse.

The PN's Gold and Silver Buying Club has survived our beloved Founder's demise. The metal are widely considered to have a great future with no downward “corrections” on the horizon – below is just one recent link from I've seen on the subjec from a healthy grassroots viewpoint.

Please contact the Patriot Network Executive Director on how you can catch the wave while it's still building... the blessedly simple, private way devised by the Great One so many years ago. There is no minimum amount.

What You Need to Know About Buying Silver Today
Jeff Clark
http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig11/clark-j15.1.html

Speaking of the Great One, March 1st was of course the first anniversary of his most regrettable passing. We in the PN's home turf were greatly saddened to remember via the time of year the events of early spring 2010, but we were encouraged by the fact that the organization has continued to flourish in his absence. It would have been an unthinkable tragedy for it to go under, which it fortunately didn't because of the secretary that miraculously came along to work with Dr. Cl

We encourage all patriots to remember Dr. Clarkson gratefully and give thanks to God that such a man existed in our time -- and that we were so blessed as to know RBC, to work, play, and study with him and enjoy the benefits of his awesome sacrifices "for the cause of liber-T".

It so happened that this poignant anniversary fell on the day of the monthly PN meeting in Charlotte. We had a typically lively, stimulating meeting that night which included a moment of silence for our hero and a video montage of our adventures with him by PN staffer Phoebe.

I had arranged for John Charles Ainsworth -- who fortunately lives in Charlotte -- to speak that night. John, known to some in the audience, was as dynamic as a decade and a half ago when he burst on the patriotic scene with the thesis that today's state governments are totally illegitimate knockoffs dating from the laughably-misnamed "reconstruction" era. He made a powerful case that these usurpations need to be recognized and legally dealt with. His North-Carolina American Republic site:

http://www.ncrepublic.org/

John my be speaking at an Asheville PN meeting soon. He said among other startling, worthwhile things that it was at a Patriot Network meeting that he first brought his main message!

Other recent PN meetings have been rich with subject matter. The February one in Greenville included a short presentation on the sinister Georgia Guidestones. I have just been hearing about them anew while blogging, via this video series:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAqqRacC7RI&NR=1

BilderBerg Group: The Exclusive Documentary (3/5)

cf.:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones

This series is in fact a great summary of the overall problem we as patriots face in "the System". And it's a totally unique phenomenon in the history of communication: At the moment when the cartel media are at their ultimate heights of power over the masses and technical sophistication -- and closest to achieving the real power structure's main dream of all the ages, i.e. world conquest through manipulation of people's thoughts, minds, loyalties, emotions and assets -- suddenly they're defenseless against total exposure by a team of extremely brave individuals.

We live in a supremely ironic age, and here you have one of the supremest ironies possible: the former governor of Minnesota shouts a warning to the world on prime-time TV that the real owners of everything are planning to kill him, us and most of the rest of humanity.... but what impact does it have? Since his obviously sound revelations don't resemble anything else seen on prime time TV, the masses have simply stumbled along since seeing it, letting the media/government complex continue leading them around by the nose with shrill alarms about things happening to people eight or ten thousand miles away. We must hope a real, permanent convergence of people and reality are on the way as events increasingly rip the facade off everything fake.

Can you tell I'm worked up on this subject? But surely you must agree it's a moment of truth like no other. And it is, in fact, my attempt at a segue into more stunning news items of a jarringly unpleasant kind here over the next day or three. These are extreme times in which we must face some loud, bizarre music, but as patriots steeped in real-world facts and logic we are the best-equipped folk anywhere to deal with the unnerving things coming down.
