The empire continues to grow

As you can read here in this article, now the U.S. will increase its military presence in African nations.  I guess the Pentagon won't be happy until we occupy every nation on earth - all at taxpayer expense, by the way.  Is anyone still crazy enough to encourage their child to join the military and face death somewhere on the globe?  Let's see - go to college or go to the military - college or the military - seems like an easy choice to me.

U.S. loves empire

The U.S. is upping its military presence in the Phillippines in order to prepare for any war with China.  Of course, China is upset.  The U.S. has also conducted naval operations in the South China Sea, right on China's doorstep.  What would Jefferson and Washington think of this aggressive stance, all at taxpayer's expense?  It's time to start waging peace, not war.

100% sure this is our future

Evil Keynesian economics, which states you can engage in deficit spending, produces the same predictable results: economic ruin.  Unless there is a dramatic reversal in our present course, our future is the same as Greece.  Read here how people are suffering terribly as the country collapses.  The article states that the middle class is being "shredded."  There is widespread crime, people are living with their elderly parents, and businesses are folding every week.  The U.S. debt has passed $16 trillion and there is no end in sight.  The inmates are running the asylum: the democrats and the republicans.

Mass fatality planning by the U.S. government

Interesting article that appeared on a great website named sovereignman.com.  I have to check the exact number, but it's interesting that the government has purchased millions of rounds of ammunition this year.  Stay tuned.

War in Afghanistan failing? What a suprise.

U.S. soldiers are dying for what, exactly?  Another failed attempt by a foreign power to "conquer" or "subdue" bad guys in Afghanistan?  It's time to bring our soldiers home to save their lives and to save billions of taxpayer dollars.

See what happens when the govt runs the economy?

Because of the government's use of cranky Keynesian economics, printing money out of thin air, and employing fractional reserve banking, the economy is in the skids and will get worse.  Read here how the middle class is disappearing quickly.  Which class will you be in someday - the upper class or the lower class?

Americans scream when we're attacked, but . . .

Great article by the great Glenn Greenwald, one of the best journalists of our time.  Several paragraphs down he includes the many documented attacks by the U.S. on rescuers trying to help those hit by U.S. drones.  Guess why they'll be another 9/11 someday.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/aug/20/us-drones-strikes-target-rescuers-pakistan

Murphy teaching Anarcho-Capitalism

Robert Murphy is teaching this Mises Institute online class.  Very worthwhile!  Murphy's a great economist and will provide you with "ammunition" to fight off the statists.  Read about the class here.

Increased dependency on the nanny state

The government loves when people are dependent on the government.  Right now 1 in 7 Americans get assistance from the government, and 47 million Americans receive food stamps.  But the government wants MORE people to have food stamps.  As you can read in this article, the government is encouraging people to throw food stamp "parties" so more can sign up.  Since the participation rate among the poor is only 72%, the government wants that to increase to 100%.  With more dependency, a cranky Supreme Court ruling that Obamacare is okay, and a trillion a year to support the empire, the U.S. is heading at a high rate of speed for a complete financial meltdown.  Get prepared.  Maybe we all should watch that new show, "Preppers."

Obamacare

Now that the Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare, what will happen the first week of 2014?  The full plan goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014, and everyone will have "care."  Somewhere between 32 and 47 million Americans are underinsured and uninsured.  So will these people start smiling and dialing and making doctor's appointments?  Probably.  Wouldn't you?  After all, the government has stipulated no one can be turned down and everyone has care.  Knowing that the previously uninsured will make appointments, will millions of insured, not wanting to get shut out, also make appointments? 

History proves that you get five outcomes with socialism: longer and longer lines, shortages, higher taxes, lower quality, and finally, rationing.  My prediction is that Americans will lose their collective minds by 2020 after a full six years of this amazingly horrible plan.  It will be an absolute disaster.  Welcom to the USSA - the Union of Amerikan Socialist Republics.

Watching the globe

Soon there will be no place on the earth free of U.S. government surveillance.  As you can read here, the U.S. is expanding its surveillance through more bases, now in Africa.  Of course, this is all at taxpayer's expense.  Also, don't forget that the government also has the power, and has already used it, to fly surveillance drones here in the good 'ol U.S.A., the "most free" country in the world (lol).  The other day a drone crashed in Maryland.  If you hear a funny sound, look up - they may be watching you - so behave like a good little compliant citizen. 

Print! Print! Print!

The knuckleheads who run the central banks around the world, from "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke here at the Fed to the littlest central banker somewhere on the globe, know how to do only one thing: create more money out of thin air.  Read this article here that explains what they've been up to and what they may continue to do.  At some point they won't be able to print (actually electronically create) any more money.  Then what?  You guessed it: global depression that will make the 1930's depression look like a walk in the park.  Own any precious metals or a case of fine scotch?  You should. 

Another 9/11 on the way?

Thanks to antiwar.com for publishing this Salon article by Glen Greenwald.  Read it here.  As usual, Greenwald gets it right.  How can we expect people to leave us alone when we murder and destroy around the globe?  If any country flew even one drone into the U.S. and killed one American, millions of Americans would be screaming for retaliation.  Yet the U.S. sends drones into many countries EVERY week.  Let's leave the world alone and just trade with people.  Nothing promotes peace as much as true free trade (true meaning ZERO government involvement).

Creating enemies around the globe, one drone at at time

As the U.S. continues the use of drones in several countries, the level of hatred against America grows steadily.  As you can read here, people switch sides after their loved ones are murdered by a U.S. drone.  When the next 9/11 style attack occurs in America, who are you going to blame - some little guy from a village somewhere whose father was killed by a drone?

Honor our troops by bringing them home!

Jacob Hornberger gets it right.  Read here how the troops, who don't know the politics behind the U.S. empire, are duped and actually believe they are defending our freedom.  However, no nation on earth has the power to take our freedoms (since we spend more on the military than the rest of the world combined).  If no nation can take them, being out there is not "defending" or "preserving" our freedoms.  Let's just follow the Constitution (remember that?), which does not authorize military bases around the world.  And aren't you tired of paying for them?

War with Iran

It seems as though Israel is determined to attack Iran.  Read this short antiwar.com article here that indicates Israel is prepared and ready to go.

You will be watched, listened to, recorded, etc. 24/7/365

Thanks to lewrockwell.com for posting this article from the New American regarding the NSA and its desire to watch, listen, record, etc. everything we say and do, every day, all year long. All of those dystopian sci-fi flicks the past 20 years, entertaining us with the idea that governments were everywhere - are actually coming true.

Taxpayer dollars being used to create a massive surveillance center to spy on - yes, taxpayers! For some reason, I wish I was born in like 1640 and lived until 1725 or so. I would have been 99.9% free, with a life basically untouched by government. Those were the days.
