FDIC Coverage Change

This letter was printed recently. Pithy. But with bank failures to continue we should be concerned:


Local banks display signs that the FDIC is temporarily raising insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 through December 31, 2013.

Hooray!

But wait a minute. With fractional banking and a chance of 100% failure of a fiat currency, the guy making $100 a week must pony up $900 a week to insure that money. The FDIC is and always has been, a fraud. To quote from a book on the subject, "'...Deposit insurance' is simply a fraudulent racket, and a cruel one at that, since it may plunder the life savings and the money stock of the entire public...."



Should we consider the once loved Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation? It no longer exists.

So what happens January 1, 2014?

Federal Trade Commission Required Disclaimer

The Federal Trade Commission requires the following disclaimer on this blog site:

I occasionally get a free beer and stale barbecue potato chips from the Libertarian Party of Indiana, presumably because I usually spell its name correctly when I mention it in this blog.

Since there is some danger that a federal bureaucrat charged with regulating speech and ignoring the First Amendment to the US Constitution might investigate this site and discover this possible source of compensation, I felt that it was best to disclose it.

I thought about closing this blog down because of the chilling effect of the FTC edict, but decided against it because I like free beer and stale barbecue potato chips.

Dr. Paul's "End The Fed" Exposes Lies

Sent this letter with P.S. to Max. Not in paper yet. Fed stories must bore Max.

Too bad I will send Max another letter connected to a Murray Rothbard book, The Case Against the Fed, which has a great page about Big Business and Big Intellectuals. Written in 1994, it needs to be read by all who think about voting.

Dear Max,

On page 94 of Ron Paul's latest book, End The Fed, he contends, "...This depression will likely last and last. If the depression lasts a decade or more, its length cannot be blamed solely on Greenspan. That blame will be placed on the current Federal Reserve Board, Congress, the President, the Treasury, but above all on Keynesian economic policy, the same philosophy that gave us the Great Depression of the 1930's...." Dr. Paul is correct. The very wealthy mock the workers whose families once worked about forty hours per week but now work over 70 hours per week for a lower standard of living.

Hey, the World Is Flat! People are in a wage competition with starving folks around the world.

The earth is an oblate spheroid. The People have been fed a diet of lies. Paul mentions the reason we work twice as long for a lower standard of living. In August of 1971 the dollar was cut from its last connection with gold. Since then the Fed (Federal Reserve) has printed money (inflated the money supply) causing a rise in prices. It was doing this since 1913 but now it has no limits. Since 1970 the worker and saver have lost ground. The wealthy get their money first and the toilers (a word used by C.A. Lindbergh; Congressman, bank board member, and father of the famous pilot) blame unions, small entrepreneurs, and others for their troubles.

Fed Chair Bernanke has said the recession is about over. Why would he say this?

Bernanke said this because it will stop you from discovering the reason for the latest crisis and how to stop the stealing. The wealthy will drink their booze and mock you for believing the lies. So often has the Fed Chair been wrong, this lie will not hurt him in the least. Half of the college economic professors are paid by the Fed, and we see these paid liars or dupes printed in papers and on our television screens. They will be as wrong as often as the Fed.

We must believe the lies. Don't read the truth in Paul's End The Fed. The super rich need you for their entertainment and unlimited money supply.

P.S.
That the super wealthy mock us is my assertion. The working hours and standard of living is my observation not Ron's. You can look up the working stats for yourself (the U.K. and U.S. work over 70 hours per week, France is limited to about 35 hrs per week per job) Hans Hoppe, a favorite economist of mine, notices the standard of living fall from the 1970s but blames it on divorce and behavior changes. Here is a quote of his:

A Quote by Hans-Hermann Hoppe on democracy, truth, justice, beauty, poliics, envy, and ignorance

What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote. The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool. Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected. Whoever is the best demagogue will win. Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty.

DAYBREAK: UNDOING THE IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY AND FORMING A MORE PERFECT UNION

Here is an excellent book telling much about Presidential abuse and the Congress that let it happen. It is full of facts and information about the Constitution. It has sources that readers of this blog may not be aware of.

Here is the letter (Review) I sent the local Terre Haute paper:

Dear Max,

David Swanson, author of Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union, due out September 15, is a man in search of truth. Already a big seller, many think he found some.

An unabashed progressive, Swanson nevertheless mentions that rendition began under Clinton . Bush made it “extraordinary” by adding “for the purpose of torture.” Obama continues rendition, although not “extraordinary rendition.” Swanson explains that repeated abuse by different presidents leads to the acceptance of bad government. Abusive signing statements, obstruction of justice, illegal wars, and corporate welfare continue the list of presidential abuses.

Swanson criticizes House leader Pelosi for taking impeachment “off the table” and “holding back” until 2012 when census redistricting becomes law. She is putting party above country.

Swanson’s solutions are to change laws and change the Constitution through a convention. Perhaps more practical is a call for activism. He includes instructions on how to become an activist.

The New York Times did not report about government spying until James Risen was about to release his book State of War. Daybreak uncovers many facts and polls not seen in corporate media. Don’t expect the New York Times to inform you. Follow Swanson’s notes to find other sources.

Truth, however ugly, is needed at the base of everyone’s opinions. Accept or reject Swanson’s spin, but ignore truth at your and your country’s peril.

Glenn Beck's Common Sense

Glenn has some good information. He goes on about the trillions of dollars that posterity will have to pay back. He includes my favorite Samuel Adams quote which I haven't vetted yet but I have used it in an LTE to the Tribune-Star.

Quoting Beck, "Samuel Adams said that those who prefer the 'tranquility of servitude' had best be prepared to 'crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.' that advice is as relevant today as it was back then. And so are his closing words: 'May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!'"

He mentions the meltdown and expects hyperinflation. He notices that the tax code is a weapon and both Ds and Rs are the privileged class. He mentions that Specter is only interested in getting re-elected, party and principles be damned.

With Specter as an example of bad government, Glenn spouts some very good common sense. "Every time you vote 'against' someone rather than 'for' someone the two-party system wins and America loses."

"When we support or vote for candidates outside the two major political parties we are immediately lectured about wasting our vote or making it easier for the less desirable of the two major candidates to claim victory. These lies are repeated every election and they must be ignored."

"You never waste your vote if you vote your conscience. ...Common sense tells us that supporting the individual of our choice, after having studied his position on the issues, is never a waste. Are truth, honesty, and candor any less desirable in candidates that don't happen to be Republican or Democrats? Stop believing their lies!"

He tells these folks who do not study and whose chains may lay lightly upon them, expect the Specter in your future. Expect the cancer of progressivism and he explains how it has hurt for over a hundred years.

Government is eroding gun and property rights and we are the country that stole from American Japs in world war II. Beck says we need virtue, honesty, and character and Godly people. He mentions the "common good" of the progressive socialist way.

His closing chapter includes the following, bold is mine, italics are Beck's.
This revolution will be won when enough Americans rebel against the lies that are being told by those in power, lies such as the idea that we can't look at the past to learn about the future, that our founding principles are outdated, or that only those in power know what's best.
The tangible result of this rebellion, the way you can show everyone that your are serious, is to leave whatever political party you currently belong to. Stop donating to the faceless RNC or DNC and starting (sic) devoting your time, energy, and, if appropriate, your dollars to the people who stand for your values.

Good advice.

If I may digress, here is James Perloff writing in The New American: "Syndicated columnist Edith Kermit Roosevelt, granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt, explained:
The word "Establishment" is a general term for the power elite in international finance, business, the professions and government, largely from the northeast, who wield most of the power regardless of who is in the White House. Most people are unaware of the existence of this 'legitimate Mafia.' Yet the power of the Establishment makes itself felt from the professor who seeks a foundation grant, to the candidate for a cabinet post or State Department job. It affects the nation's policies in almost every area."

"Roosevelt added that this group's goal is 'a One World Socialist state governed by 'experts' like themselves.'"

So is Glenn Beck a James Perloff yet? No. But he is doing good to make people think about their vote and how they have destroyed this country. (But enriched the establishment)

Beck is doing good to say what he says in Main Stream Media. (MSM) Attacked as a nut, he must be respected at the very least. He seems to be trying. I'm not recommending this yet.

You may have noticed that I am recommending The New American the magazine of the John Birch Society.

I found a person who explains things well. She is Shelly Roche. See her videos:
