FED GAVE Banks Access to 23.7
TRILLION DOLLARS NOT $700 Billion!
(YouTube, 4:41)

Editor: Actually it was only the last $23
Tn of BIS-listed $33 Tn derivative gains.
It's the TSLF, TALF, TAF, and the CPFF.

Fox News: TARP Cop: Some Bailout Goals Still Unmet
  Editor: First the swindling Feds set up companies to buy (factor) mortgages from banks to increase their ability to lend as limited by their reserve ratio of about 1:10 as required for commercial banks. This created a de facto bubble in the housing market, as banks could gain a greater yield on their money by lending it twice in effect. Housing and commercial mortgage lending became more profitable and less risky for them. Therefore, why bother to save the ownership documents (deed of trust, real estate lien notes). That was now the problem of the Feds' creatures, Fannie, Freddie and the FHA.
  Fannie and Freddie, of course, then bundled these de-collateralized mortgages into bonds and sold them to unwise investors under a tacit guarantee the Feds would make them good in troubled times.
  Of course, along came insurers like AIG that offered credit default insurance policies (credit default swaps) in case the Feds didn't backstop the Fannie and Freddie bonds.
   Why just to be sure, investors could buy two or three times as much in credit default swaps as was at risk in the bonds, and collect on their insurance polices two or three times over
  As if that weren't enough, the Congress and the Clintons decided they wanted a piece of the action for their own political purposes. They bought their way into the game with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) which pressured banks to make bad loans to low income people who couldn't afford them, or lose their ability to expand into larger banks.
  Thus, to enter the profitable game of government sponsored racism, the banks were pressured to give loan points based on skin color or foreign ethnic origin. Those who declined to specify their race were simply denied loans.
  Of course, when the credit crunch came, these fraudsters could not afford to politically own up to their theft by allowing default on Freddie or Fannie bonds, which they had tacitly guaranteed to foreign banks and investors. Also, because the foreclosure documents were long gone, they could not return the collateral (houses) to these investors. Foreclosure was often no longer possible without these documents. What to do to cover up the government's gross fraud in these operations?
  Ah ha!. We'll just bail out the credit default swaps (AIG) with taxpayer money, so the issue of the lost documents will not expose our corruption of the housing market into a gigantic bubble. We'll just let the taxpayers pay the bond and credit default swap holders two or three times the money they put in so they won't expose our Fannie and Freddie fraud over the ownership of the collateral (hoping they won't notice the huge bonuses paid to these fraudulent-derivatives' peddlers in our behalf)!
  Of course, if the Feds had any integrity, they would fix all of this like the TARP Cop says. But they won't do that because they would have to take the blame, and besides, if they fixed the bubble, they couldn't work the same theft on the public all over again next time.
Business Insider: TARP Watchdog Diagrams Exactly How The Government Is Inflating The Next Housing Bubble
VDARE/Roberts: The Crisis Is Not Over
  Ed: The Fed's balance sheet depends on how much of the money used to buy these toxic assets was newly created money, and how much of it was laundered from the $23 trillion in real, off-books gains from derivatives, as reported by the BIS. Only a complete Fed audit will tell us. Without it, we will not know how much of it was theft of taxpayers' money by printing money, or how much was obtained in rigged derivatives-trading gains and is laundered money.
Baltimore Chronicle/Roberts: The Free Market Fetish
  Ed: Now you know why they blocked regulation of OTC derivatives. They were busy rigging the markets to get their 23 trillion for the Fed.
  Ron Paul and the Austrians are not wrong on the free-market principle. They are wrong in their failure to understand the human capacity to corrupt ANY ideology, and the need to regulate THAT accordingly. It used to be called jail time for making 'mistakes'.

The Supreme Court's Legal Figments

Yahoo!/C S Monitor: Supreme Court opens the money gates
  Ed: As a 28 year manager of "S" and "C" corporations, I can assure you THEY DON'T EXIST. The fact the courts call them "persons" when even they, themselves, admit they are "legal fictions", is clearly deception. But to treat them as if they were real persons under the Constitution is not just a legal fiction, it is a legal figment, a hallucination, and is an irrational, misplaced concreteness.
  Because 'groups' do not exist in nature, but are abstractions, and a creation of the mind of man for a common purpose, they therefore can not be given the Constitution's "natural rights", which arise solely from our bodies, as given to us by our Creator. For the Court to seize this power, and to confer it upon an abstraction, which is a creation of their own minds, is to claim for themselves the power of the Creator of the Universe. In so doing, they make themselves into the high priests of The Usurper.
  If corporations (and unions, too) are allowed to engage in "petition for their grievances", and to 'vote' with money from their treasuries, they are acting in no way significantly different than in typical ballot fraud, as the courts have held from Independence that voting with money is equivalent to voting with ballots. Further, an attack ad against a specific candidate is definitely a public petition of grievances by a fictional entity that has no such specified right under the Constitution, except for a generalized, free-speech right as conferred on all bodies that have mouths. However, this is not a free speech issue as claimed in the Court's arguments, and doing so is an obfuscation of the true case.
Yahoo!/C S Monitor: Supreme Court's campaign ruling: a bad day for democracy.
  Ed: Mostly on target, but it is a good day for democracy (mobocracy), and a terrible day for the Constitutional Republic.
The Progressive: Horrific Supreme Court Ruling on Campaign Finance. Time to Amend the Constitution: Corporations Are Not Persons!

Taxation Without Representation
- Tea Party Time for the Courts?

An open letter to our current SCOTUS.

Ed: Ronald Reagan correctly has said that "Corporations don't pay taxes. Only people pay taxes."
  The issue of corporations paying corporate income taxes and, therefore, are entitled to political representation, is entirely bogus. The taxes are paid by the shareholders, or by the consumers of the goods and services offered by the company. This is true of all companies except sole proprietorships and "S" corporations, where the taxes are paid on the tax returns of the owners.
  So what the court is really faced with is that it must acknowledge that corporate taxation is another legal fiction (fraud, in this case), end it, or grant 'representation' to the company. However, then an issue is raised, that in granting 'representation' equally to unions, it is granting 'representation without taxation'.
  This court of shysters (Yiddish, "sh*t peddler") is now even further trapped in its web of frauds with regard to its positions on the tax on individual labor, which is taxation with representation, but has been implicitly held to be an invalid tax by its prior rulings that the "16th Amendment granted no new taxing powers to the Federal Government" (Other than the constitutionally granted one for "direct" taxes).
  "What a tangled web we do weave, when at first we practice to deceive". Hey judges in black robes, are yours the black robes of a righteous judge, or those of a high priest of Satan?

Family Security: Basic American Principles


Ed: As a lay Buddhist/Christian I have no authority to speak for either of these religions. However, according to the Judge's understanding of the "natural rights" of the Constitution as manifest in the individual body, I see his vision of the Founders' "natural law" and "natural rights" as similar to the Oriental religions' Law of Karma. Also, for me as a person with scientific training, I see the Law of Karma as no more than the law of cause-and-effect as portrayed in the natural sciences.
  Thus, the body you are born with (your concrete, nature component), and the circumstances you were raised in (your abstract, nurture component), will develop your self-image, and, together, will determine how your Karma/"natural rights"/cause-and-effect will evolve.
  In my view, "natural law" is why most of the world's religions, as well as the "natural rights" of our Constitution, teach that your actions are what you believe, and it's not what you say or think that you will be accountable for under natural, religious or Constitutional law. For it is your actions and inactions that alter your fate, as well as the fates of those with whom you interact.
  When viewed in this light, the Founders' "natural law' is nothing more or less than their understanding of the law of cause-and-effect (natural science), which in the Orient, is the Law of Karma, as found in both Hinduism and Buddhism. If there is to be a "New World Order", one hopes that it will be based more on a universal understanding of these beliefs, than upon some arbitrary ideology imposed by the socially psychopathic personalities found in all societies, who lust after power above all else.
  Thus the Asian proverb:

"If you understand, the world is as it is. If you do not understand, the world is as it is".

NWV/Kincaid: Ex-Con Counts On "Faith Community" To Pass Health Care;
Catholic Bishops Lobby For Obamacare, Amnesty For Illegals
  Ed: Notice that this is the same Catholic Church that has used "Liberation Theology" throughout Latin America to enslave purposely illiterate peasants through imaginary 'group' social rights, while evolving into the bankrupt religion it is by abandoning all pretense for individual salvation or enlightenment.
   In my view, this kind of theology is that of the Usurper and not the purpose of the Redeemer.
  Thus the Church reaches out to save the ignorant illegal immigrant for its own survival, yet cloaks itself in righteousness by forcing individual tax-payers to pay for their health, while shielding their illegal "anchor babies" from abortion. This, but for opposing the killing of humans, in my view is not Christianity, but a low-grade form of Satanism.
WND/Hentoff: Be scared: Obamacare endangers our lifespans
Am. Thinker: The ObamaCare Leviathan

  Ed: The Senate bill is also discriminatory as to 'race', ethnicity and sex:
The Senate bill requires that "priority" for federal grants be given to institutions offering "preferential" admissions to minorities (race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, and religion). Institutions training social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, behavioral pediatricians, psychiatric nurses, and counselors will be ineligible for federal grants unless they enroll "individuals and groups from different racial, ethnic, cultural, geographic, religious, linguistic, and class backgrounds, and different genders and sexual orientations." (Source: Eagle Forum)

Intellectual Conservative: Males and Seniors Lose Under Obamacare
  Ed: Men: None. Women: 10. Kill off old breadwinners, who paid the taxes, and save the bread consumers, who can be bought for crumbs - in order to balance Social Security's and Medicare's bankrupt books. Obamacare is not "God's partner", it is Satan's.
VDARE/Malkin: Obama and the Vampire Congress
WND/Rosenbloom: Government's 'cure' worse than the 'disease'
WND/Keyes: Baby Isaiah and the nature of unenalienable right
  Ed: The court's error in Schiavo was to allow the abstract social contract to pre-empt the natural rights of the parental life-givers, who were willing to fulfill their duty to their child. It is the same for a government pre-empting the natural rights of families and individuals to determine their own healthcare. Obamacare is Satanic, being a usurpation of the Creator's given natural rights and duties, as seen in a Christian context.

Devvy's Dose of Reality: The Supreme Court Wong Kim Ark Case (Click Part 1) (Audio)


POINT OF ORDER! OBAMASSIAH CANNOT BE A NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES under the Law of Nations. His father was a British citizen at the time of Obama II's birth. So was his British-citizen son, dual citizen or not (mother too young). His father was on a student visa and wasn't a resident alien. Under interpretations by the courts of Section II, Article I, and of the 14th Amendment, he is NOT eligible to be president. The issue under argument with the birth certificate is whether or not he is a native born citizen, or even a citizen at all, or merely a foreigner. Even if he was born in the U.S., it could be a red herring - a diversion from the real issue: Not natural-born, hence ineligible.
  As clearly explained by the Framers and Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, there are NO hyphenated Americans.
  For a foreigner, an outsider, culture is as morally relative as are the rules for chess and checkers - though played on the same board (the Earth). However, once you are living in either game, you MUST play by the rules, or you are nothing but a cheat, and are rightly expelled for it.
  Since it is the Constitution and the Congress that make the offices and rules for our American game of chess, for courts to adjudicate them, and for the President to enforce them, the President alone MUST embody the abstract nurture that unifies the many into one. That can only be obtained in the first six years or so of life, starting from about 30 weeks of pregnancy, when the fetus begins to recognize its mother's voice, then when the newborn learns the language and meaning of its nurturers' rules, while rejecting those of 'outsiders', and, finally, is acculturated enough for public schooling - which purpose is to finalize social unity, and NOT to spread the 'diversity' and the social conflict so popular with politicos, judicial activists and moral-relativist college professors. (More 'Obamacare' for your kids?)
  This is why the Founding Fathers required a natural-born citizenship, and why this 'non-president', through no fault of his own, and by his own admission of his now-lapsed British citizenship, is not qualified to be President of the United States. In fact, it is why, lacking the nurture, he is an 'anti-American' non-president.
  If you are a U.S. citizen, or a legal resident, you are obliged to play the game of American chess when on U.S. territory.

Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, stated in 1866, "Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."

The Fourteenth Amendment states, "(A) Persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

Renew America: Who is behind quashing the birth certificate issue?

"The kind of money that "talks" — that can buy people off, finance revolutions, launder money, pay to rig voting machines, manipulate allies into positions of power (czars, anyone?), conveniently crash markets (as George Soros did in England in 1992, Asia in 1997, and, I believe, the U.S. in September 2008), make people disappear, make birth certificates and other vital records disappear, and then make sure that an entire media, Congress, and court system is terrified of 'going there.' "

Ed: There are unsubstantiated reports on the web by persons who claim to have seen official birth records which say B. H. Obama II was born in the Coast Provincial General Hospital at 7:24 PM on August 4th, 1961, in Mombasa, Kenya.
  There are similar reports that there were at least three certified, sealed copies of his Kenyan birth certificate sent abroad to non-African applicants.
  If either or both of the above reports is true, can the DC District Court afford not to investigate their veracity, given the potential by any one of them to allow the blackmail of the most powerful military and economic power in the world via its usurping president when a simple Quo Warranto order and trial in the DC District Court, under the DC District Code, could prove them false?
  This is precisely what was done with Albert Galatin for the Senate in 1793 and with Senator Shields of Illinois in 1849 as an "alien by birth". This was before the Quo Warranto statute was passed in 1878.

Ed: The analysis of impeachment is wrong. A 'non-president' can not be impeached. He can be tried in DC Court, which is the court that determines federal office eligibility. He could then be removed as a non-CIC by the military on a court order much as Honduras removed its president Zelaya on a constitutional basis. Obama is careful to say that was a military coup, and to assert an elected president cannot be guilty of a crime, because he, as a 'constitutional scholar', knows very well that may be what lies ahead for himself.
  Though I am not a lawyer, I suspect that a writ of mandamus or other similar order from the Supreme Court to the Attorney General or Deputy Attorney General would require them to try the matter in the DC Court without a separation of powers issue being involved, since the court is trying a constitutional non-president like it would any other government official who may not have been eligible for his elected or appointed office, whether he or she now occupies the office or not.

   Gerald Celente is right. Obama, the CFR and their 'New World Order' are not socializing the United states, they are privatizing it to foreigners. After all, somebody has to pay your sons and daughters to go fight and die for the 'The One' and his global kingdom.
  And where will all the money for this new world come from when the U.S. becomes third world...Washington's IMF and its SDRs, of course. But not to worry, the new Financial Stability Board in Switzerland, under the BIS' rule-making influence, will supervise the world monetary system with its oncoming Basel III Accords.

HERE IT IS: WHO CAUSED THE WORLD DEPRESSION, AND WHY!

Rense.com: The Tower Of Basel - Secretive Plans For Issuing A Global Currency
  Ed: Now you know where the $550 billion run on the N.Y. Fed and banks that triggered the world-wide depression came from... all to trigger the Basel II accords' delayed imposition on U.S. banks of its rules for marketable securities (MBS here) until the result would be collapse of the banking sector here and world-wide ...with the U.S. to blame (with a little help from Obama).
Business Insider: The International Bank Rule Which Almost Destroyed the World
  Ed: Which is exactly what it was supposed to do when the Basel II accords required mark-to-market on illiquid assets in a manufactured reserves crunch (Like the $550 Bn run on Wall Street banks known here as 'Paulson's Panic'.)
Moneynews: U.S. to Seek Global Pack to Beef Up Banks by 2010
  Ed: The purpose of the central banks is to create a de facto Financial Stability Board that will allow them to set up 'Basel III' Accords for the NEXT time they get ready to loot the world's performing assets - using them as they did the Basel II Accords covering the same matters. The Basel II Accords were not a failure. They were very nearly a complete success - had the U.S. not ended mark-to-market on purposely toxified securitized mortgages and not reduced interest rates to zero.
Business Insider: G-20 Europeans Defeated By Tim Geithner
  Ed: Well, surprise, surprise. Depending on the details, the increased reserve requirements are beneficial. But much remains to be seen on how they weight securitized debt and CDSs, and what it takes to rate them AAA.

WND/Corsi: George Soros bets against America

Ed: Soros was instrumental, if not causative, in the collapse of the British Pound, where he made much of his fortune. This raises the possibility he was actively involved in the $550 billion run on the Wall Street banks and mutual funds that triggered 'Paulson's Panic', the credit crunch, and the bailout of the banks. Like the Rothschilds did at the Battle of Waterloo, he may have spread the leak and started the run on reserves to enrich himself while inflicting major damage on the U.S. economy, even as he did on that of Great Britain. The $550 B run should be investigated, but Congress may already suspect where the bodies lie, and not wish to dig them up.

Yahoo!: Central banks may need more power for financial stability
  Ed: Central banks already have enough power to create financial stability. They just don't use it for that, even though that is their mandate from Congress. They use it to create instability through artificially low interest rates to create bubbles, and then to create monetary destruction by collapse of the bubbles into deflation - followed by their theft of monetarily depreciated real assets for pennies on the dollar.
  Giving them more power will only increase their power to steal. Only if we end the Fed, and return to a commodity-money standard, with a commodity that's un-taxable and un-shortable (no forward selling) will we have financial stability.
Yahoo!: U.S. budget chief says signs of economic free-fall over
  Ed: Yes, unless Geithner and the Bilderbergers decide to re-initiate the "credit crunch" in the commercial mortgage market, too. Just can't wait for that world government...Sorry Folks!

(P.S. Several states retained secession right at ratification.)
  Ed: The Constitution IS America. Who is doing the seceding here? Washington, populated by Democrats and renegade Republicans (RINOs), is the one who has seceded from the terms of the Union, as Perry has clearly stated!
  It is the Sodom on the Potomac who has seceded from the constraints of the STATES, who founded the nation. It was Sodom's hero, Lincoln, who destroyed it in its ratified form. 'Race' (whatever that means) had nothing to do with it. If you think it did, you had better take a course in remedial English, and read the Emancipation Proclamation again!
  You want proof of their secession? We have a Supreme Court who is so dissolute that it will ignore the usurpation of the presidency by a man who is, by all evidence, a non-citizen, an illegal alien, and who is ineligible for all Federal offices by virtue of a back-dated and false-signatured draft registration form.
  These black-robed high-priests of Sodom have 'living-constitutioned' the original one, to which the states voluntarily adhered, to death! Texas' rejoining of the nation was accomplished by Washington's reign of terror, and forced contracts are not binding under terms of the Constitution itself.

  The renewal of this act in 2006 is enough reason alone to justify a Texas secession from a vindictive, racist Federal Government who, rather than end it, has institutionalized racism in the U.S. since the 13th and 14th Amendments were ratified after the Civil War...by force, in the case of Texas.
  Racism is discriminating races where there aren't ANY in nature by some arbitrary phenotypic trait. ANY affirmative action based on physical appearance is reverse racism, is a violation of the self-same, equal-protection clause of the 14th Amendment, and is genetic nonsense when applied to an individual.
  ALL humans are essentially mongrels. If that hurts your feelings, tough! Most women intuitively sense this fact, and it is to them we owe a debt of gratitude that we are still a single species. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for most of my fellow males with regard to their rather remarkable stupidity in this matter.

Or maybe it's because they already know he is an ineligible foreigner, and THEY are the ones guilty of silent treason to protect their own political class.
  Actually, for a foreigner to bow so low to a Japanese could be taken as sarcasm, and, as such, an insult. More, touching the Emperor at all, much less shaking hands, would be a shocking breech of Japanese mores. One hopes Emperor Akihito has enough courtesy to attribute this gross protocol blunder to the natural ignorance of a gaijin (outsider), and not to the massive ineptitude it probably actually represents.
YouTube: Barack Obama bows to Japan's Emperor Akihito (Vid)
  Ed: What is becoming clear is that Obama, as he says he is, believes he is a "Citizen of the world". So he 'bows' in what he believes are the local customs of the citizens of the relevant country, and purports, thereby, he is above a mere citizen of the United States of America (unless he isn't). If this is his thinking, he is clearly delusional, and his compulsory annual medical exam had better include a psychiatric exam, too. If he's not, he's not just a puppet, he's a clown.

  Ed: This court is full of crap. The State militias of the various States are constitutionally given the right to keep and bear standard military-issue firearms. The State militias are all able-bodied, adult, male citizens of the State, and were the basis of the draft of the militias into the regular army in the Civil War. Being actively in the State militia IS the license to bear machine guns (M-16s, M-4s) as the standard-issue infantry weapon of our time. If one is NOT an active member of a State militia, then there could be an issue of requiring registration for a personal use of such a weapon, as is now done in some states for machine guns (collectors and small-town police officers) and silencers (e.g., for professional animal culling). The Framers deliberately followed the Swiss firearms model in writing the Constitution, and that should be the guide for the courts. Also, though women were not traditional members of the militia, they are "people", and without question, are guaranteed the right to "keep and bear arms".

  The last 'militia group' in the U.S. to engage in mass homicide was the BATF, military units and snipers, and National-Guard hardware cobbled together to execute 76 Branch Davidians with cyanide from flash-bang ignited CS gas, and from M-16 suppression fire on the fire-escaping Christians. After all, those guys and their children had to have been some kind of weirdoes for having AR-15s and lots of ammunition around all the time.
  As for Timothy McVeigh and his companion, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
Prison Planet: Obama Website Calls Opponents "Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists"
  Ed: Just in this last couple of weeks opponents of these "domestic right-wing terrorists" have beaten up one of them passing out patriot flags, bitten the finger off of another, smashed the windows of his own political organization in a false-flag operation, and 'saved' the environment by collapsing two radio transmission towers with bulldozers.
  Folks, this sort of talk is characteristic of paranoid/schiz projection, which attributes its own incipient violence to its intended victims. In a word, this is "sick, sick, sick". Time for my mandatory psychiatric exam for all politicians. We will see then who is "sick, sick, sick" or not, and who is the true source of the "hate" they see "In the eye of the beholder". That's REAL health care.

DISCRIMINATING RACE IS RACIAL DISCRIMINATION... PERIOD!


CIS/Krikorian: The Cosmic Race

CFP (ca): Sonya Sotomayor Supreme Court senorita: A case of unapologetic racism
  Ed: All of Mexico's races have now been re-defined as "La Raza Cosmica", or "The Cosmic Race", or briefly as "La Raza". (Criollos, Indios, Negros, Mestizos, Mulattos and Chinos: The "bronze" race of MEChA, whose motto is: "Por la Raza todo. Fuera de la Raza nada". For the Race, everything. Outside the Race, nothing.) (Also See: Michelle Malkin: AZTLAN ACADEMY? COMING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD?)
Newsmax/Tantaros: Sotomayor Is a Supreme Concern
  Ed: The "critical" theory of law is no more than saying the law is entirely subjective. However, subjectivity's rules depend largely on your cultural conditioning before the age of six, are a matter of abstract nurture, not nature, and are the origin of prejudice ("pre_judice"), which occurs in the mind before consciousness of its object. (scientific fact)
  Objectivity is the expression of the concrete rules of nature, which in our Constitution, is referred to as the "natural law" of individual rights. It is wholly a matter of nature, is the basis of natural science, and is the same for all entities in the universe. To deny objectivity to the law is to overbalance the necessary stability for human life with subjective tyrannies, which are ever the destroyers of nations. (See balance image below)
  Such 'reasoning' in psychology is merely a matter of rationalizing one's prejudices to give hidden motives a color of objective reality...not law, but lies.
  Under the U.S. Constitution there are no, and can never be, 'group rights' (Shared subjective abstractions replacing objective, concrete, individual ones.) Why? Because there are no fixed 'groups' in nature.
  All that is necessary to stop 'racial discrimination' is to stop discriminating races that aren't there.
  There is only one race. The human race.
VDARE/Sailer: Professor Gates, Officer Crowley, President Obama -- And The New York Fire Department
  Ed: "Disparate impact" is PRECISELY what a well-designed exam is supposed to produce: Competence vs. incompetence...pass vs. fail.
  Applying the concept of "race" to it only shows the mental incompetence of any judge who engages in this sort of Orwellian doublethink.

WND: Sunstein: Americans too racist for socialism
  Ed: So we have yet another racist discriminating races in a racial discrimination. Hey, estupido, social justice under the U.S. Constitution is about individuals, not your 'group-think'. Nor does it guarantee equal outcomes, only equal access - again, only for individuals.
  As you have measured others, so are you measured.
WND: Anti-Anglo racist tripe
WND/Tancredo: The price of disunity in a dangerous world
Am. Thinker: Blaming Whitey
  Ed: Discriminating race on the basis of a single genetic characteristic (phenotypic trait) is racial discrimination. Making a racial distinction amongst ANY humans is racism in the mind of the discriminator. For courts and legislatures to institute it as a matter of law is to institutionalize racial discrimination into law.
  Trying to legally define a race on the basis of a 'group' of genetic traits is to create an abstraction that does not exist in nature, and is always misapplied in the case of an individual human.

Wash Post: Losing the Latino Vote
  Ed: The "imago dei" is just the image of god. It isn't shared with anybody. When seen for what it is, it is not a personal experience, it is a NON-personal* experience. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "individual worth" in secular terms. What IS significant in secular terms, is the law of the nation and the "Law of Nations". These have application to the abstract culture of a society (the national mind), and are absolute in themselves, and relative only when viewed as outsiders - even as players of chess can spout meaningless comparisons to checkers, which are irrelevant to the game of life in which they are engaged in their living moment. No picking and choosing allowed. If you do not LIKE the national mind, leave the nation, or if illegal, be thrown out as a cheat!

Family Security Matters:
Exclusive: Alternatives for the U.S. Should
Mexico Face 'The Worst Case Scenario'

Ed: This is an excellent portrayal of the current state of Mexico, and of the U.S. border region. However, the suggested intrusion of U.S. forces into Mexico in any sort of preventive security would be a disaster for both Mexico and the United States. This is because the Mexican people don't need American assistance to work out their own destiny. They have already done that. Only they can change it. It is because our own political elites would use the trans-border occupation to turn the United States into a bi-lingual Mexico...ruin for both countries. The open border is already causing this sort of damage to both now in the drug wars. The first remedy, when dealing with an infectious disease, is quarantine.
  Beginning with Lyndon Johnson, whose power base began in George Parr County on the Texas Mexican border, through Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and now Obama, the Washington ruling elite has allied itself with domestic corporatism and the same cronyism that infests Mexico. The result will be their failed state's corruption completing our failing state's fascism as implemented by all five of the aforementioned administrations from both political parties. This is because our elites now want the U.S. to resemble Mexico, and not the reverse (See Immigration and Usurpation link.)
  The Mexican revolution in the 1915-20 era caused the same type of trans-border problems. However, the U.S. used two different remedies. One worked and the other caused permanent resentments by the Mexican people of the U.S. This latter was the futile chase of Pancho Villa by Blackjack Pershing and the Army into Mexico. The one that worked, but you never hear about, was Woodrow Wilson's sending 100,000 troops to patrol the Rio Grande - with artillery.
  The reason the Texas solution worked is that the shield of the Army along the border, after some skirmishes, prevented infiltration of large groups of Mexican military into Texas. Only small raids such as the Aniceto Pizana raid that affected my family (below) succeeded. This shield allowed Texas Rangers and civil police officers to perform sweeps through the Nueces Strip and other border regions to fight bandit groups harassing Texas citizens. Many Mexicans were killed by these officials without trial simply because they were suspicious characters. However, the ethnic strife in the region caused Hispanics to decide if they were Americans or Mexicans. The former stayed and became Texans, the latter were driven back to Mexico. For all the cultural values they may share, the Tejanos I grew up with are not Mexicanos.
  It is this historical example that shows the ONLY effective solution for the U.S. if Mexico goes 'Worst Case' is to seal the border, allow none or nothing in or out for the duration, until Mexico can reform its destiny on its own. If you think we could help them with that, stop and consider how all of our good intentions in stabilizing countries around the world have almost all ended in failure. Only in Europe, which was already European, did we see anything like success in nation rebuilding. (Note: Japan is not an exception. The Japanese people imposed their new constitution upon themselves through Emperor Hirohito, a descendent of the goddess Amaterasu, bowing down to General McArthur's demand from their own choice.)
IBD: Mexico Goes To Pot, And Then Some
   Ed: Mexico is now critical. The U.S. must terminate all current passport visas and border passes to Mexico that are not diplomatic, and must ban all travel to the country permanently.
  As a 20+ year border resident I can assure you that Americans visiting Mexico will become back-door addicts. Spring break is now, and always has been, a chance for your college kids to experiment with dope on the quiet in Mexico. With it legally available even in small quantities, Americans will cross the border for their junk and become addicts - even as they cross the border now for their cheap prescriptions.
  If Mexico will not learn from this folly, let them permanently lose the tourist trade as the price for being an international drug pusher for its cartels. DO IT NOW, or the U.S. will become Mexico II.
KTAR (AZ): AZ authorities condemn Mexico drug law
Examiner (Dallas): Are drug cartels now dictating policy to Mexico City?
AZ Central: Bold new cartels emerging in Mexico
  The disease infecting Mexico is not just drugs, it is the endemic corruption that has existed there for centuries. The Mexican corruption 'fever' must cure itself under quarantine. Allowing even individual Mexicans into the U.S. will bring the plague of corruption, the mordida, and their extreme violence with them. It is all they know, and they embody it even as they have carried the AH1N1, Mexican flu all over the world. Let the flu serve as nature's warning, and close the southern border with Mexico completely...BOTH ways - using deadly force when necessary.
  Be Warned! There are those high up in Washington who would knowingly allow in this corruption disease so as to re-make this country into a like political cesspool by importing such an infection here. "Ye shall know them by their fruits".

I sold all but one piece of my family properties (A natural fortress), because I know from the 1915 Mexican assault against Americans it will require a full effort by the U.S. Army and Air Force to suppress the slaughter of gringos and Americanized Hispanics (Tejanos) that will result.

  Ed: This is the beginning of the Mexican terror-war's spread to the U.S. If this spreads it will result in a return of the violence against all Spanish-speaking-only Hispanics, as happened with the Plan de San Diego invasions of Texas in the 1915-1920 border wars. The Mexican people are unarmed against this kind of terror...Americans aren't.
  Note: In the link to the Texas State Historical Assn., some 300 Mexicans were killed, but many more Anglos were killed than the State recognizes. My grandfather was captured by Aniceto Pizana, two of his Anglo crew were executed after they and my grandfather signed a list of over 50 Anglos killed on this one raid alone. He was to be killed too, but escaped. (Source: I Would Rather Sleep in Texas, Texas State Historical Assn., pages 476 -477. To correct an error in the Brownsville Herald: He was not released. He escaped during a pursuit by the raiders, as they later had decided to kill him, too.)
Yahoo!: U.S. "home invasions" up as thugs seek drug cash
  Ed: During the previous Mexican civil war (1915-20) my grandmother shot and killed Mexican home invaders more than once to save her daughters and herself. The many break-ins resulted in Texas Rangers often killing Hispanic suspects on little more evidence than that they were not English-speaking. Widespread return of break-ins will result in neighborhood watches and/or militias that will shoot on sight any Mexicans who can not explain their presence in the area. Don't think the U.S. military can stop it. Woodrow Wilson's 100,000 regular army troops along the Rio Grande couldn't. Put the Army on the border NOW, stop ALL illegal entry, or this is what will result. Governor Perry understands this, I think. So does Janet Napolitano, but she would rather play Janet Reno.

Any issue involving the Medellin case in Texas would not change that border. Even if the absurd claim of Mexican arbitration rights with the U.S. had merit, it would have no value when applied to the border with the Republic of Texas as an a priori nation state. That would include 1,200 miles of the present 2,000 mile U.S./Mexican border.

It was foreigners only getting the interviews and jobs.
  Furthermore, whenever I went to the Microsoft Austin training center for Microsoft Partners, the majority of attendees were often foreigners.

The irony was, I was already a registered pharmacist at the time.

Part 2, Part 3, Part 4


Editor: One of my teachers, a Zen Master, used to say that one's spiritual development was ultimately one's health.
  If that is the case, then government control of your health is indeed "evil". In a Christian context, then, anyone who comes between your Creator, your chosen doctor, and you is either a disciple of the devil, or Satan, himself.

Ed: As a licensed medical professional (though maybe not much longer), I feel it is my duty to warn the American people that Obamacare has almost nothing to do with the quality of medical care you will receive, but with who gets it, when, and how much. It has little or nothing to do with your general health, but with whether you will be born, will survive the first day of your newborn life - with when you will be allowed to live, and when you will be forced to die.
  It is not about fostering your health, but about control of your behavior in every way possible. It is NOT a health plan, it is a TROJAN HORSE to gain power over you and yours!
  Here's my health plan for the American people: A medical audit - compulsory, annual physical and psychiatric exam for the President, Vice President, and EVERY member of Congress, which certifies their medical competency to remain in office! (As a donor to Ron Paul's presidential campaign, I think I will send this to him as a suggested addition to his HR 1207.)

FOX News Video: The Verdict (6/19)

WND: Plan to audit Fed steamrolls ahead

Ed: Here is the key and the real teeth of this bill. These are what the Fed uses to control the markets and the economy:

"Paul's bill would also make the Federal Reserve's funding facilities, including the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, Term Securities Lending Facility, and Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility subject to congressional oversight."

Business Insider: Momentum Builds For Ron Paul's "Fed Transparency" Act
  Ed: Here is the $9 trillion, which came from some $10 trillion
dollars of BIS-reported derivatives' profits of the central banks.
Moneynews: Video: Federal Reserve Cannot Account for $9 Trillion
  Ed: As the BIS' agent, and as the reserve currency holder, they are passing out the $10 trillion in derivatives loot to the various national CBs according to their winnings in the rigged, unregulated, off-books, derivatives markets. The most visible of these are the AIG payments to restore appropriate collateral for their CDS insurance losses to the various investors who bought their Fannie/Freddie toxic instruments. As the tacit guarantor of the bonds, it seemed appropriate that the U.S. government's dirty linen should be cleaned up at the Fed's and Treasury's laundromat.
Moneynews: Banks Trim Borrowing From Emergency Fed Program
Moneynews: Fed Should Mull Making TAF Permanent
  Ed: So now the Fed should use its new market manipulation tool to not only control them through its traditional agents, but should now offer the 'service' to non-banks in the markets to give it an even broader base to control the economy now that its Primary Dealer tools are coming under scrutiny. Apparently not even "toxic assets" are toxic to the Fed.

They can and do predict, create and shape monetary events in all the major markets in precise amounts and intervals. This stuff about giving them more power to regulate the very markets they already control is the government's white-wash of its own crooked conduct in its under the table fascist deal with its public-private partner in crime: The Federal Reserve.
  The Fed doesn't need more power, it needs the secret ones it has to be exposed by auditing. Especially before it is given any new functions - if not disbanded entirely.
Moneynews: Obama Plan Puts Fed at Center of New System

Ron Paul on Glenn Beck 12.09.09 (YouTube, 5:27)


Ed: Note that Beck redraws the real assets being returned to the FED, not the Treasury. The money the Fed gave to the Treasury is laundered from the $33 Tr BIS derivatives' wins (Mostly on interest rates and oil). In return, the Fed receives the assets (on books, from its off-books derivatives wins). This is the Fed's laundromat. Glenn Beck understands it better than Paul. However, it is Paul's audit of the Fed that will expose the scam, which will be the death of the Fed, if the Fed loses the fight in Congress.


January 20, 2010 Competing Currencies (YouTube, 5:48)

Am Free Press: Fort Knox Conundrum: Chinese say
they received bogus bars of gold traced to U.S.

Ed: What Ron Paul and the Libertarians fail to understand is that if 'The Philosopher's Stone' can turn (redefine) lead (paper) into gold, it can also turn (redefine) gold into lead (paper) by means of legal tender laws.
  Because paper has been redefined as gold, and because statute makes paper "legal tender for all debts public and private", gold, like any other commodity, can be shorted to valueless-ness through derivatives via the central bank's power to create infinite legal tender out of thin air. Then it can erase the 'money' created to depress the legal tender value of that real asset (e.g., gold) in the consequent panicky liquidation of the derivative's notional (off books) value at termination of the contract (futures, CDOs, CDSs, etc.) in a frozen market where assets have been marked-to-market (on books) at virtually zero (stocks, bonds, houses), buying those now legal-tender cheap assets to re-capitalize its subservient, fractional-reserve banking system. (Not to mention enriching the 're-capitalizers' and their insider cronies on the side). The ultimate purpose appears to be a forced merger of major banking institutions with some of the Fed's primary dealers, and a re-merging of commercial and investment banking to create a massive new national banking cartel of bank holding companies at fire-sale prices. Additionally, the nationalization of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as buyers of something like 40% of the national home mortgages, may become permanent by the Treasury.
  In short, if the central bank can create price inflation through monetary inflation, it can also create price deflation via derivatives through monetary creation, followed by monetary destruction (sterilization). While the 'money' is in the derivative pool, it is 'too much money chasing too much money and is not chasing too few goods and services'. It is, therefore, not inflationary in terms of price inflation. The Fed's duty from Congress is price stability.
  Therefore, to achieve stable prices, it is not necessary to outlaw the central bank. All that is necessary is to outlaw legal-tender laws. The central bank is then rendered powerless in a truly free market by some form of commodity money...as the market chooses. (Now you know why Treasury seized the Liberty Dollar.)
  After all, the U.S. dollar originally was the Spanish silver dollar. It was never legal tender in the colonies, but things worked fine until we made our own silver dollar, and then made it legal tender. This made banking and lending profitable through usury (interest charges on self-collateralized money).
  It was not for nothing that Jesus took a whip to those moneychangers in the temple who exchanged identical weights of Caesar's pure gold for equal weights, 'minus interest', of pure Jewish shekel gold - the legal tender for paying one's religious tithe as a Jew.

  Ed: The Fed has an enormous interest rate derivative operation that completely controls long-term interest rates. If the long-term rates rose, it is because the Fed made it so. So if they were not trying to set the credit market rates, then perhaps they were trying to freeze mortgage markets prior to imposing mandatory rate controls, and adding forced 'mitigation' of all mortgages, sound or toxic, under federal control, with federal, rather than state regulated foreclosure. Is this yet another Washington usurpation of state sovereignty? "Only The Shadow knows".

And what can be futured up, can be futured down!).
Business Insider: LEAK: Fed To Keep Rates Low, Keep Quantitative Easing In Place
  Ed: The major undeclared issue for QE is how much of it is new money, and how much is laundered $19 trillion in BIS recognized derivatives profits (off books, old money), in order to gauge future inflation due to funding massive deficits. (GWB: Deficits don't matter.) HR 1207, anyone?
Business Insider: LEAK: Next Week The IEA will Slash Oil Forecasts

Moneynews: World Rushes to Prop Up U.S. Dollar
  Ed: Don't get suckered with the gold-bug mania just yet. The central banks want gold to pay each other with, but they definitely don't want you to have it, and will do whatever is necessary to make it so.
Business Insider/Paul: It's Time To End The Monopoly Of The Dollar
  Ed: No Ron Paul, it is NOT illegal to do business in gold or silver. It is perfectly legal to do so in a gold clause contract, and my corporation and I did so for years. What is illegal is using gold and silver as a universal currency, so repeal of legal tender laws and ending taxing of the money commodity is a correct move. However, it will have to be done via an interim gold clause arrangement, as described by Dr. Edwin Vieira. You are also forgetting that fractional reserve banking even with a gold standard currency (I.e., gold certificates, silver certificates) can lead to inflation of the 'money' supply...which is why an interim gold clause arrangement could be needed for the psychology of the economy to adjust over time.

HR 1913: THE FEDS ARE NOW HATE-CRIMINALS THEMSELVES.

Ed: This legislation is a hate-crime all by itself:

  1. Because this law protects by 'group-think' rather than by individuality, it is a misapplied abstraction - a figment. The individual act of violence is the crime, not the intent, and "groups" are abstractions that do not exist in concrete nature. (See: Past Commentaries).

  2. The usage of this type of law by government is to politically divide and conquer the electorate by pitting one political faction against another where no real differences in constitutional law exist.

  3. The law is a federal usurpation of states' rights both in that it flouts the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause as applied to individuals and the 10th Amendment's restriction of federal intrusion into privileges reserved by the Constitution to the states and the people.

Ed: This law is not just the usual federal illegitimate seizure of power, but a covert attempt to overthrow the Constitution, and to establish a tyranny of law that is quite literally insane in its utter denial of natural law and of reality itself.
  It is an attempt to replace the black robes of honest law-judging with the black robes of a high priest of Satan, the Usurper. To judge the private thoughts of a person is to usurp the function of that person's Creator. Any judge who arrogates that power to himself/herself becomes the usurper, and any law which claims to criminalize those private thoughts, even when publicly spoken, is the law of Satan, the evil one - in any religion, and by any other name.
  As you judge the thoughts of others you are judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you (Matthew 7: 1,2). Thus, any perceived "hate" is in the mind's eye of the beholder, unless objectively confessed free of coercion, and only after a Miranda warning. Indeed, it is my suspicion and hope that any judge who instructs a jury with this law will face jury nullification in a moral society.
WND/Keyes: Do we Americans still care to be free?
  With all due respect to Alan Keyes, "zen" is not self-indulgence as portrayed by Hollywood and the moral relativists.
  As a long-time practitioner of Zen meditation, it is my view that Zen is more correctly characterized (in terms of this essay) as "SELF-GOVERNMENT" arising from "SELF (ego) GOVERNANCE", and the former cannot survive without the wide-spread practice of the latter.
  If we take the admonition in Matthew 7: 1,2 as a guide, there would seem to be two methods to achieve the degree of self-governance required: Meditation to de-program our unconscious prejudices, or to cultivate a sense of objectivity when confronted with moral issues by asking ourselves, "Is this characteristic that of the object, or is it my attribution to it?" Either course provides a method to restrain our judgmental projections on others, and is a means to govern our responses with a degree of objective, bias-free responsibility.
  Of course, I believe meditation is better, but a few visits to a competent psychiatrist in this area to reassure yourself of its factual nature (as it did for me in my youth) is a VERY good idea.


1-2 million 'paranoids'

NWV/Ted Pike: ADL Blasts "Paranoid" Right

Ed: In the Torah and Old Testament, the fall of Adam was the result of eating of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
  As a result of their scriptures' declaring Jews as "God's chosen people", they seem to have arrogated to themselves the sole privilege of judging good and evil as the inheritors of the knowledge of that fruit.
  Thus only the Semitic race is qualified to judge all of humanity, and that right is inherited by blood by their 'race' being conferred only by having a Jewish mother (Israeli citizen) or, in some sects, at least one Jewish parent. Thus only the Semitic 'race' is now qualified to judge other 'races'. But wait, there was this guy who taught in Israel not to judge others, or they too would be so judged, and with the measure they used, it would be measured to them again. Oh, yes, but the Sanhedrin judged and had him crucified for teaching it.
  Cursed by their own self-judged 'Master Race' they now must condemn all others who deny their supremacy as "anti-Semitism". But wait, as we saw, Semitism is Jewish racism by definition. So perception of "anti" (opposition to) Semitic-racism is misperceived as "anti-Semitism", and anyone who opposes their Semitic superiority by opposing their judgment of others will be attributed as a racist "paranoid", and the projection will be exposed when the measure the Semite has used, is measured back to him again.
  Indeed, it can be argued that the Jewish policy of attacking criticism by all non-Jews as "racist" is what has preserved their cultural identity throughout the diaspora and the holocaust. Now that Zionism (Jewish nationalism) has created their own national homeland, is it unreasonable to expect Jews around the world to give up the paranoia they project on others, and join the rest of humanity in some semblance of psychological maturity?

WSJ: Obama Wants to Control the Banks
  Ed: So if the "crisis" could be so straightforwardly resolved by putting the troubled banks in receivership and auctioning off their assets as was done in the S & L crisis, why does this crew need to control the banks down to hiring and firing?
  Because they cannot recover the mortgage bonds' collateral, and the credit default swap 'insurance' (read AIG) is so over-leveraged, to pay them off under the implicit Freddie/Fannie guarantee it will literally bankrupt the country several times over, if paid in full.
  If this seems extreme, you have only to understand that in recent Florida foreclosures, 29 of 30 lawyers for the banks didn't even bother to show up in court for their hearings.
  As things look now, control of the big banks is likely necessary to force resolution of these foreclosing homes via some type of mass mediation or mitigation of all outstanding mortgages, troubled or not.
  So Americans will pay trillions in taxes to excuse the politicization of the housing markets by the government through Fannie, Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act. The entire "crisis" is little more than a colossal cover-up of the mind-bogglingly stupid and arrogant federal bungling at the taxpayers' expense, and were it fully revealed, there would be 85 million Americans in the streets armed with their 'pitchforks' out to shed any federal blood they could find.

Bernanke: Fed to Use All Tools to Stabilize Markets

Ed: If the Fed can use all tools to stabilize markets, it can also use the same tools to de-stabilize markets, and does.
  The Fed can, and does, lure its victims into excessive debt by suppressing interest rates while punishing savers. This then leads to debt-bubbles, which it then collapses using these same tools to de-stabilize markets into credit crunches.
  Later, using these same tools in opposite fashion, it can re-stabilize markets, while using the stolen gains of its market de-stabilizations (profits stolen from unregulated derivatives counter-parties) in the markets it has rigged (gold, oil, DOW, futures) and, with taxpayer funds via quantitative easing, buy up assets for itself and its crony dealers at pennies on the dollar.
   How much of this re-capitalization theft comes from taxes/inflation or gains from the $10 trillion BIS derivatives wins in the markets it has rigged cannot be fully determined without an independent audit of the Fed (H.R. 1207).
  Why are few willing to face this possibility in view of all the evidence? Because, as some psychologists call it, we are all "ego-robbed". We have been so badly duped we cannot afford to admit to ourselves that we have been had - big time. It is time for the American people to realize that we no longer have free-market capitalism in the U.S., but the corporatism (fascism) of public-private partnerships, of which the Fed is the archetype.
  The private partner is empowered by the state to steal from the people, and is given legal secrecy to hide its thieving, while the public partner receives its portion of the loot via the graft of perks and campaign contributions from private lobbyists and agencies. This is true whether the public-private partnerships are the Fed/Govt., public-private toxic-asset bailouts, toll roads or government-funded political-action groups. This is not free-market capitalism, but is crony capitalism, and is what would be better known as "crapitalism".

Ed: I bet you thought the government worked for you. Now, like it, or leave it, you work for them.
  (1) Because these junk mortgages were bundled into 'bonds' and re-sold without the documents needed to recover the loan collateral (houses) in default as was done in the S & L crisis, the underlying asset can't be legally foreclosed and sold to defray the loss. (2) Because the collateral for these junk Fannie and Freddie bonds is no longer recoverable, they had to be guaranteed by the U.S. government. (3) Therefore, they also had to be 'insured', (each one several times over by credit-default swaps) in case the government failed to live up to its tacit guarantee. (4) Because the government now has to live up to its promise on these junk bonds it sold to investors around the world, you, the taxpayer, are now going to have to pay for your deadbeat neighbor's house. (5) Because the government knows you don't want to pay for your deadbeat neighbors' houses, you will be forced to pay for them by the government's goons, (below) recruited as 'volunteers' to harass, intimidate and bully you into paying for them - and for their community-action wages too.
  This entire scheme is not, and never was anything but a government instigated theft, and because it is, you and your honest neighbors will have to cooperate in a neighborhood watch (or a militia) to meet that government moving van, locked-and-loaded, when those government's thieves come to your front door. Because when all else fails, it cannot seize it any other way. And sooner or later it ultimately will come to that, after they have impoverished us all by taxes and inflation. If you want to save your house, you must act now, or prepare for civil war later. Now you know why I paid cash for mine.

This, though these smaller banks are lending, and are not in serious trouble over their capital. More likely, they will be bankrupted by new FDIC charges that are actually made necessary by the corrupted big Wall Street banks' toxic assets. In other words, more government theft for their cronies and the Fed's agents to seize the performing assets of your local, Main-Street bank. Moral: Shuck the Darth-Vader, Wall-Street banks for the local one in your area. I have.

VDARE/Roberts: How the Economy Was Lost

Ed: Kuwait had a camel market which became rigged in its valuation methods. When the camel buyers found that the price of camels was fraudulently bid up to ridiculous levels, they quit buying camels all together. Did that mean that camels had no value despite the fact there was no market price? No, but because the buyers and sellers could not agree on a mutually credible price for camels, the camel market closed down permanently.
  This is precisely the situation we face in the housing market. Because no one can agree on a mutually agreeable valuation for houses, collateralized mortgage obligations, and credit-default swaps, their markets have virtually disappeared...not because houses have no value, but because all buyers and sellers are so indoctrinated with the paper valuation of 'things' they can't value the real goods themselves in order to purchase with the legally required legal-tender currency. This is why the governments, the banks and the consuming public can not trade in these assets. The mark-to-market rule in this zero-market situation prohibits it, since both by law and as an article of faith, legal-tender, fiat-money is the only permitted accounting valuation. In fact, rather than favoring price discovery, in dysfunctional markets this rule prevents it, even as rigged markets can also result only in false, non-freemarket price discovery.
  Rigidly enforced, this rule is equivalent to saying houses and camels have no intrinsic value, and must be abandoned to rot.
  As any good psychiatrist could tell you, this sort of mentality is schizoid, and, if implemented, schizophrenic...in a word, "insane".
  The remedies are to; (1) give up the schizoid notion that symbols must substitute for substance (real assets' intrinsic value), (2) abandon the mindless, mark-to-market valuation rule in dysfunctional markets, and (3) prohibit the types of market activity that manipulators have used to rig the markets 'till manipulations ultimately destroy the credibility of markets. The remedies suggested by former Assistant Treasury Secretary Roberts - under the Reagan Administration - are all worthwhile. However, the ultimate resolution lies with Ron Paul's repeal of legal-tender laws, a return to a commodity-based money, and Walter Williams' prohibition of taxation of the commodity that bases the money-system. The Fed would likely then revert to just another private bank, and be shorn of its corporatist powers.
  Postscript: Note that Roberts openly admits in the last paragraph that the government has been manipulating the gold price since at least the Reagan Administration.

Like the topmost image, their shifting the balance towards accounting abstractions to the destruction of concrete markets will plunge the world economy into a fatal fall. Were it up to me, I would commit the lot of them to a lunatic asylum and straight jackets where their only free exercise would be counting imaginary beans they move from one empty jar to another. These people are so deranged by their pseudo-reality I doubt if phenothiazines or other anti-psychotic medications could restore them to safely interact with other more normal human beings in their daily lives. That little meditation exercise of counting aloud real beans for a change might be the only therapy that has any hope of restoring them to sanity.

  Ed: HERE IS THE THIEF WHO STOLE YOUR HOUSE! The delayed implementation of the Basel II Accords for the U.S. set up collateralized securities for an orchestrated collapse of their market value by a staged $500 billion run on the reserves of the Wall Street banks - forcing their illiquid Fannie and Freddie now toxic bonds to a mark-to-market value of zero (no price discovery in a frozen market). The Wall Street banks' paper reserves were wiped out in the process - stopping all new loans in their tracks.
  The BIS and the world's central banks failed in their attempt to destroy the U.S. economy and its dollar only because the Congress ended mark-to-market valuation for securities and stopped naked shorting in the markets.
  That having failed, and with no world Financial Stability Board to make new rules, BIS/FASB would now finish the job by forcing mark-to-market in the bank-loans held by local banks to render them toxic too. This is the second wave of theft to be carried out by the central banks to seize those home loans secured by whole (initiator retained) mortgages.
  The first $9 trillion of derivatives profits were laundered through seizing and consolidating banks, through AIG re-collateralization of CDSs, and the TARP funds. The last $12-13 trillion are apparently to seize the remaining performing assets held by the rest of U.S. banks and savings and loans, and to finish the dollar and the U.S. economy once and for all in favor of the European-dominated IMF's SDR 'world currency'.

THE PHONY 'CRISIS'

Intellectual Conservative: Government As Narcotics Dealer

Since both governments peddle dope, our secret Mexico
trade deal is we exchange our dope pushing for theirs.

Ed: From the Fed data imaged near the bottom of the page you can see the 'credit crisis' is a central bank fraud perpetrated on the Congress and the American people.
  Obama and Emanuel are using a fake crisis in order to "not let a crisis go to waste" to socialize the banking system, and, thereby, the political system.
  What the Fed and the other central banks of the BIS are instituting is the greatest theft in U.S. history since they, FDR and the Democrats stole the American people's gold from their safe deposit boxes in 1934. The people in Congress are groveling because the Fed is intentionally panicking them by threatening the credit it extends to the government to fund the bought votes that keep these sycophants in office.
  The Fed/BIS is the credit-drug grower, the banks are the distributors, the Presidency and the Congress are the pushers, and America's debtors are the junkies who are now terrified of the withdrawal symptoms being imposed on them by their suppliers' threatening (but not really) to withhold their dope.
  It's Chicken-Little Obama crying, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling". But next to FDR's, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself", the guy is a pitiful bad-joke!.

However, this author also misses the monetary-destruction effect inherent in the collapse of portions of the derivative markets and the massive short-squeeze supporting the dollar as the world's reserve currency for commodities.
  Like Paulson's successful threats to Congressmen of martial law to scare them into passing $700 Bn in new money to bail out (buy-up and consolidate) major banks (and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae) due to the overwhelming "credit crisis", we are now seeing the IMF apparently using the same rationale to justify dumping gold 'til around $400 an ounce - thereby strengthening the dollar (FT.com: Dollar reigns supreme), and then to effectively confiscate gold as the Treasury did in 1934 at its artificially depressed dollar price. So just how real is this "credit crisis" that is to justify nationalization of agencies, banks, houses, student loans, and most of all, gold?

WND/Farah: Was this economic crisis planned?

  Ed: Not only was this "crisis" planned, it was caused with malice aforethought. According to the Bank for International Settlements' (BIS) own figures, the member central banks gained $10 trillion in real dollars (not notional) in derivatives from 2006 to 2008. This money was gained through manipulation of the unregulated derivatives markets, the futures markets and the commodities markets by them and their primary dealers.
  There is no crisis in the economy, there is only real-asset price destruction by these central banks for their own enrichment, and at the expense of their own member banks, commercial enterprises, and private investors (including house investors). What you see as deflation, is actually theft by a manipulated panic from real markets of the legal-tender value of all their real assets, causing debt/equity and reserve ratios to trend negative so as to freeze lending by banks; to cause a flight to 'quality' (their legal-tender 'money' - HA! HA! HA!), to buy up these now devalued (in legal-tender terms) assets for a fraction of their worth for their own enrichment, and also to enrich their agents and cronies.
  Obama, the Democrats and some Republicans (GWB: "Deficits don't matter") are already spreading the propaganda called "deficits" for the next generation of theft through "quantitative easing", a.k.a., monetary inflation, designed to steal what little is left of the monetary wealth remaining to the looted middle classes of the Western World. Welcome to serfdom - 21st-century style.
Business & Media Inst.: Senator Warns White House 'Will Create Crisis' and 'Panic' to Push Stimulus
Infowars: Obama: Americans Will Accept Bankster Engineered Depression
  Ed: This Chicago-style shyster (Yiddish, "sh*t peddler") is scaring you into tolerating the biggest theft by our government since it stole everyone's gold from their safe deposit boxes in 1934. If that doesn't work well enough, he will take away 85 million Americans' guns so you can't defend yourself when he comes to steal your house.
(i.e., Because Fannie and Freddie didn't save the original Real Estate Lien notes for the mortgage-backed bonds they bundled and peddled, the TARP funds will buy mortgages that can not be foreclosed upon legally. The only way the government can recover the asset is to break down the door, stick a gun in your face, and throw you and your kids out into the street to live with all the other serfs sleeping in the public gutters...your former friends and neighbors. What about your former home? If they don't re-sell it at 50% of its former value (called "the Texas rule") to their cronies, likely it will become a HUD house, and will be rented at a subsidized rate to illegal aliens and other minorities on an affirmative action basis. Who can fault such government 'charity' without being called racist? Now you know what "sacrifice and compromise for one another" means. Oh, by the way, whoever does have the original note will probably sue you to make you pay for it all over again.)
SFGate: Homeowners' rallying cry: Produce the note
Am. Free Press: Foreclosed Homeowners Try New Strategy
  Ed: This is not to condone default on their mortgages, but doing so will force the government to acknowledge its bungling and fraud in the Fannie and Freddie scam.
VDARE/Guzzardi: What's Going On? Some Foreclosed Homeowners Stay Put -- Possibly Forever!

Housing Wire: Overwhelmed Illinois Court Postpones Foreclosures Until September
  Ed: Now that banks are finally moving to foreclose, the courts are facing the issue of no loan documents, which enormously complicates the process. Therefore, they are scheduling the "Consent Foreclosures" to clear what cases they can from the docket now...probably hoping for a federal intervention to clear up or resolve the ownership issue.

Note that the politicians who politicized the subprime market will be the ones now "investigating" (i.e., scapegoating) the cause of the collapse.
Moneynews: House Bill Makes Banks Keep Portion of Each Mortgage

Wash Post: Fannie Loses $23 Billion, Prompting Even Bigger Bailout
  Ed: The only remedy is to close down Fannie and Freddie. Their problem is not resolvable because their product is fatally flawed, and will always be subject to politicization. The mortgage-backed securities they sell are not derivatives, they are derivatives of derivatives, and the underlying asset is often not recoverable. The government might be able to salvage some of their function in the secondary market for home loans, but it will have to limit the amount of the note the mortgage initiator can factor to them, so as to force it to retain the necessary foreclosure papers. Once the paper trail of ownership is broken, the only remedy is brute force, and the U.S. Constitution does not currently allow it in this case.

  Ed: Of course there isn't. After wading through this heap of Orwellian Newspeak, informed persons can realize that; after panicking the real asset markets, driving down their legal-tender valuations by up to 50%, the Fed can now launder its off-books share of the $10 trillion in derivative profits into the real economy without having to resort to "quantitative easing", and its consequent inflation...much of it through its funding of AIG's increased collateral posting requirements derived from AIG's credit-default swap losses. The increased monetary inflation should offset their panic-induced price deflation - in theory, at least. Of course, doubtless quite by 'accident', the Fed will end up owning and controlling much more of the world's economy, too. Tsk! Tsk! Now we know why the secrecy.

  Perhaps Bernanke is telling the Congress to stop spending money because there will be no more laundry money for the domestic crisis. The $12 trillion this time is going to be laundered through the IMF as SDR adjustments. No more manna from the magic money machine for you.

The Fed could afford to be generous and pass out $9 trillion or so as chicken-feed.
  Congress can't afford to look too closely, though, as every time he speaks, more chicken feathers fall out of the wolf's mouth. If they did, they would have to acknowledge where their TARP funds came from.

"If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of money should be taken from banks and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies." (Emphasis added).

WHAT STARS AND BARS AND THE LIBERTY PARTY HAVE IN COMMON:

NWV/T Baldwin: A Lesson In A Free Federal Constitutional Republic

The 10th Amendment is the last original amendment to the Constitution, and without inclusion of these ten, the Constitution would likely not have been ratified by the States.
  The Stars And Bars site was my attempt to show the Bush - Clinton carpetbaggers were New World Order moles, whose aim was to usurp the 10th Amendment, and to grant all power to a Federal "Union" in preparation for a forced union into a world government, even as Lincoln used the Civil War to crush the states' sovereignty issue (Article 1, Section 8, and the 10th Amendment) that was the real issue fought over in that war. (NWV/Baldwin: Praise For Lee And Jackson)
  With the campaign of Aaron Russo for the Libertarian presidential candidacy, there was a plan to change the name of the party to the "Liberty Party" - possibly after the anti-slavery party that existed before the Civil War. However, with Aaron's defeat by Michael Bardnarik, ironically, an Austin, Texas attorney in 2004, the domain name, which we reserved for that purpose, defaulted into a personal blog,
  Never-the-less, I continued to see a globalization threat in the Obama candidacy. How better to destroy a national identity than to coerce an alien foreigner, citizen or not, into the office of the presidency: Precisely what the "natural born Citizen" clause in Article II, Section 1 was designed to prevent. So I moved the site in that direction.
  Though it may have seemed unimportant to Americans at the time, I suspected that the symbolism of another Illinois lawyer, who rode a Lincoln-like train to his inauguration, and who chose to take his (bungled?) oath on Lincoln's bible was not accidental. Can you say, "Hello, CFR"?
WND/Shapiro: Obama's fascist State of The Union address
NWV/Baldwin: Is Obama Really Preparing For Civil War?
  As the article so eloquently points out (also see Professor Panarin, included in EU Times link), the remedy is for the States to renew their militias.
  All that is well enough, but if the reports in the EU Times are correct, Obama and friends have planned on another 10th Amendment Civil War against the States all along. Otherwise, why the need to re-arm NORTHCOM so fast, unless it is to pre-empt the States (Like Texas, which has a State Guard and 80,000 licensed machine guns in private Texas hands, as a part of the 220 million armed Americans mentioned in the EU Times article.)
  Furthermore, as a USAF veteran of the Cold War and a Russian language (NSA) analyst therein, the reader should not be surprised I have included hints and warnings of another Texas veteran in the links to The Oathkeepers maintained herein. Perhaps he is yet another "potential terrorist" veteran who is trying to warn you about a possible usurper in the White House. Nor should you carelessly discount the warnings of those of us who know the hidden details of the Gulf of Tonkin, the Pueblo Incident, and the curious lapse of shoot-down orders and the 'missing', indestructible, (orange) black-boxes (FBI Sources) in the 9/11 incident, as being merely paranoids.

Or, NWV: Christmas Terror Attack May Open Door For Military Action In U.S. Cities; Detroit Bomber Incident: Playing The American People, Again)
