Speaking of The Hermanator, his new ad is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks God, the true conservative/liberty-minded/freedom-loving person’s choice is becoming clear. If you’re scared about the war/security issue, please ask yourself this: if we bring back the incredible arsenal we have from around the world do you really think terrorists will want to come here?
If you want to know why terrorists attack us, you might want to ask the former Bin Laden division Chief and CIA veteran Michael Scheuer. “This war is motivated by the activities of our government in the Muslim world.”
Here’s Herm’s ad in all of its greatness:

0Whether you agree or not, this is an interesting insight into the protests. Taibbi’s still working on his street cred with me, but usually I like his stuff.

If your eyes fall shut, your skin draws cold and your pulse plummets when you hear words like “World Bank” or “International Monetary Fund” I understand–I used to feel the same way.
However objects only move when the right leverage is applied. In this case, when the right perception to a certain reality is gained.
So, what is the “proper perception” I’m so confidently (arrogantly?) theorizing?
this is—> Your time is an equal trade of money (therefore it’s also not-taxable and the income tax shouldn’t apply, but that’s another topic. check the Joe Banister interview for more), therefore your money is your time, therefore when your money is taken, your freedom to do what you like with your life is taken, therefore when mega banks like The IMF and World Bank make massive loans out of your taxes they have actually enslaved you and stolen your time.
This is slavery, this is short-term kidnapping, this is a violation of our rights–STEALING!–in bright daylight.
Check the video for more detail on how the banksters at The IMF and World Bank are hand-crafting loans that will require the receiving countries to turn over their rights to freedom in exchange for short-tern funds.
Welcome to the revolution, you are the resistance. We are the ones we’ve been waiting to read about. If change does not happen now, when can it?
Sorry folks, 90% of bailout $$ went to Europe…
0If you can believe it, your tax dollars haven’t gone to getting you and your family out of a horrific financial mess, nor have they gone to the good banks that were forced to lend to people who couldn’t afford the loans by the do-gooders in Washington–they went to the mega-bankers in Europe.
Do you think there is something a little wrong with Washington DC right now?
Who do you think is really running that dog and pony show?
When will it be bad enough that you are motivated to take action?
Dr. Paul brings the thunder

The chairman of the House subcommittee that oversees the Federal Reserve demanded Tuesday that the Fed fully disclose details of billions — perhaps trillions — in secret emergency loans it made to almost every major bank in the U.S. and overseas during the financial crisis or face a congressional subpoena for the information.
In an interview with Fox Business, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Financial Services subcommittee on domestic monetary policy, said he wants to know “how much, when, where and why” from Fed officials when they testify about the loans at a subcommittee hearing Wednesday.
“We’re going to get to the bottom of what the Fed did during the big bailout a couple of years ago,” Paul said. “We have some precise questions. I imagine we won’t get all of them answered tomorrow because they’ll do a little bit of stonewalling, I’m sure.”
“If they don’t answer, they’ll hear from us,” he said. “We can use the subpoena power and say, ‘Look, you have to bring us the records.’ ”
The big loans started in 2007 and were disclosed in April under Freedom of Information Act requests by FOX Business and Bloomberg News after a two-year legal battle with the Fed and banks by the news organizations.
Funny timing or Divine intervention?
0I clicked on Jack Hunter’s latest podcast “Compassionate Conservative Rick Santorum” this morning to have a listen and this is the non-photoshopped, natural image I captured—check out the view count.
If you say it’s a coincidence I won’t argue; let’s focus on Little Ricky. Hunter’s podcast centers around the strange hypocritical brand of Republicanism that Americans experienced under Bush in recent years.
Simultaneously bashing “big government” and tripling the size of it, The Bush Years provided us with an interesting view into the mind of the modern politician. Using a precise bait and switch technique we were told that to protect our security we must give it up. To have more money, we must spend more. And to have peace we must have perpetual, undeclared, un-Constitutional war in as many countries as our troops, drones and bombs can possibly occupy around the world.
Like the proper errand boy that he is (now I’m in trouble) Santorum backed Bushism all the way to the bank and will—absent a lightning strike of liberty to the forehead—offer nothing new to combat the parasitic spread of government spending, un-Constitutional intrusions into our privacy and our military empire abroad.
“Some will reject what I have to say as a kind of ‘Big Government’ conservatism.” -Rick Santorum, “It Takes a Family.”
Wall Street’s Shadow Budget
0The Federal Reserve continues to be rightfully assaulted by journalists and politicians on the right and the left for abusing the American people’s money, resources and lives by rabidly pumping up financial bubbles, exacerbating booms and busts, and extorting the people’s tax money so that small groups of psychotic investment bankers (although many bankers are wonderful people, yes, some bankers are have diagnosable greed psychosis and are sociopaths) can have their losses bailed but while their winnings are kept private.
It’s time to audit and end The Fed.
