Cost of Living Goes Up, Wages Are Stagnant, Why is This Happening?

Here it is, short and sweet: The Federal Reserve is a privately owned central bank.  It's owners are the very banks it is supposed to regulate, and the very banks it continues to bailout because the same oligarchs, the same eight families that rule the world benefit.  According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation.  Think about that.

They also own the media and leverage that media to propagandize their point of view.  George Soros is a good example.  He is connected to the globalist cartel and continues to warn of global economic collapse and riots in the USA if the European Union doesnt continue to bailout the European branches of the cartel.

So, look at the charts below and watch as the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air, gives it to the banks, the banks strengthen their balance sheets with real assets and flood the market with more money.  Oh and yes, then a little bit of that money trickles down like piss onto the rest of the economy, meanwhile the price of everything you and I must buy goes up and up.  And how are wages?  Stagnant.  The cost of housing? Well out of the range of most people, so they have to borrow.

This is a scam.  The mother of all scams.  It is a 20-30-40 year ponzi scheme scam that gradually strips money and wealth out of an economy.

Here is the monetary base of the U.S. Notice the big ramp-up as the Federal Reserve responded to the global financial crisis with a flood of liquidity/expansion of base money supply.

Bank credit has skyrocketed. Plenty of credit sloshing around the system. This curve looks exponential, i.e. unsustainable.

Bank assets have risen exponentially along with credit.

If we look at what's skyrocketed in price (healthcare, college tuition), we find they are government funded and supported. This is not a coincidence.

Inflation is generally viewed as a monetary phenomenon (print money excessively and you get inflation), but let's use a very simple definition: any loss of purchasing power. If your income buys fewer goods and services, for whatever mix of reasons (geopolitical, weather, monetary, fiscal, etc.), that's inflation "on the ground."

Consider this breakdown of the components that together make up the standard measure of inflation, the Consumer Price Index (CPI): (courtesy of dshort.com) What are the obvious major sources of inflation? Energy, medical costs and college tuition.

CPI Year-to-Year Growth

The CPI-U (consumer price index) is the broadest measure of consumer price inflation for goods and services published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

While the headline number usually is the seasonally-adjusted month-to-month change, the formal CPI is reported on a not-seasonally-adjusted basis, with annual inflation measured in terms of year-to-year percent change in the price index.

In the chart below from Shadowstats.com you see an SGS-Alternate CPI estimate based on the methodology which was employed prior to 1980.  Yes, our clever government changed the way inflation was calcualted so that they could continue with their little scam.

The price of oil in the U.S. is influenced by many factors--geopolitical, currency, technology, policy, etc. Nonetheless, the rough correlation between base money supply and the price of oil in dollars is noteworthy:

Government spending and intervention fuel inflation, and the Federal Reserve enables that spending and inflation by monetizing Federal deficits. Raising expectations of inflation has powered oil higher on speculative buying, but it's difficult to generate economy-wide inflation when wages are declining (courtesy of dshort.com):

Eventually, declining wages lead to demand destruction, as households consume fewer goods and services. But inflation that is being driven by government spending will not decrease, as the demand is being supported by a borrow-and-spend Central State supported by a monetize-Federal-debt-til-Doomsday Federal Reserve.

The Top 10 Truths You Will NOT Hear in the Presidential Debates

Let's be honest with each other.  You and I both know that faith and confidence and trust in the United States government is at an all time low, and with good reason.  We appear polarized on the left right paradigm that the corporate owned mass media keeps repeating at us like Nazi propaganda.  You hear very little if anything in the news about Syria, Iran, Libya, Israel, corporate lobbyists, the military industrial complex, the Federal Reserve, big banks that are systemically too important to fail (TBTF), jackals, drones, or political assassinations.  Yet they exist and the United States government officially suports them.  Isn't it time you ignore the pundits and politicians spewing out soundbites that misinform and harm you and other Americans and get a REAL education on geopolitics, energy, corruption, petrodollar warfare, and collectivism?

You will most likely NOT hear about any of the following truths that have an enormous impact on you.

1. The Federal Reserve is a private banking entity that enjoys a monopoly on printing a debt-based currency for the United States and that it is in their best interest to see the national debt soar.
2. Since World War I, the wars in the middle east have been about capturing natural resources, controlling the central banks of the fallen nations, and ensuring that petroleum continues to trade only in US dollars, not about spreading democracy or liberating oppressed people.
3. The LIBOR scandal and the financial crisis of 2008 was not legitimately investigated because the US Treasury knows that the TBTF banks are propping up the US Dollar and keeping the global American empire afloat and that any real investigation would result in their bankruptcy and subsequent US Dollar collapse.
4. The same TBTF banks that were bailed out in 2008 and 2009 are owned by the same oligarchy that owns controlling shares in the mass media.
5. The same oligarchy that owns the TBTF banks also owns controlling shares in the big oil companies that benefit from protected monopolies and protection from the US military abroad.
6. Congress and the Senate are under the control of these oligarchies and therefore refuse to hold hearings on the legality of their actions.
7. The Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Group, the Bilderberg Group, and AIPAC have maintained astonishing influence over the United States foreign policy to their benefit.  Shouldn't you know who they are?
8. The 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job with coordination from inside the White House.  They were not perpetrated solely by 11 Saudi Arabian terrorists commanded by Osama Bin Ladin from a cave in Afghanistan.  First and foremost, the World Trade Center buildings were demolished with explosives that were planted.  Secondly, there were war games being held that very day that simulated the very attacks that actually happened.  Dick Cheney commanded the war games.  This was a false flag event perpetrated to generate support for war in the Middle East and at home.
9. Many American presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, John F Kennedy, have been assassinated by the very banking oligarchies that currently control our foreign and domestic policies.  
10. Obama and Romney are puppets controlled by the same oligarchies offered to us as an illusion of choice.

Each one of these topics requires significant research on your part to verify.  You will certainly form your own opinion but there is no doubt that the media cooperates with a hidden shadow elite that manipulate America into debt and war for their own benefit.

All of your research will support that you TAKE ACTION NOW! by showing your support to Audit the Federal Reserve.  Once you see how the Federal Reserve has been secretly propping up the banks that CONTROL the Fed, and that the BigOil companies and military industrial complex benefit from our perpetual debt and endless war, it is impossible to ignore the obvious: America has been taken over by a ruthless organized criminal syndicate.

Do you think Obama or Romney would have the guts to stand up to a power so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that most men dare not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it?

What Does the Federal Reserve Have to Do with War, Oil, and the Petrodollar?

The petrodollar is under fire.  What will that mean for citizens around the world?  What does that mean for us here in the United States?

Google's YouTube Censors Video About Conspiracy to Crash America in 2013

Google's YouTube complied with a request from a powerful interest group to remove a video linking the current global financial crisis to a nearly 300 year old dynasty and their cohorts, The Rothschilds.  They are the kings of the Jews and the master of all goyim like you and I, whether we know it or not.  (Unless of course we figure a way out of the matrix they call "civilized society.) #transition

How could a single family control the actions of Google, the mega billion dollar Silicon Valley sweetheart?  Google doesn't censor, right? I mean they allow videos from network news channels of Senators contradicting themselves.  They allow military wartime footage to show American soldiers shooting, pissing on, and stacking up the bodies of humans around the world.  They allow documentaries about the racketeering, collusion, fraud, and downright evil practices of the four horsemen of oil, the four horsemen of banking.  And they allow this blog which is detailing the global organized crime of eight families.   (For now at least.)  

Why can't we see the final exposure, the top of the pyramid, the caller of all shots, the connection between the Rothschilds, the Federal Reserve, the New World Order, the financial crisis of 2008, and the coming collapse of the American Republic? 

From somewhere along the Rothschild chain, within the Ring of Power came the order to YouTube to pull this video.  Wouldn't you like to know who made the call?

Google is not evil, right?   Why do they protect evil? 

Because they fear it?

Do you research.  Learn the true twisted history and connection of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of International Settlements, The Council on Foreign Relations, the City of London, the Vatican, and the Ring of Power.  Sinister forces are at work to drive us into slavery.  Only an informed public can deflect their attacks. 

Mexican Media Manipulate Message About Independence Day "Grito"

Take a look at both videos.  The first is brought to you by one of the large corporate owned media organizations in Mexico that is owned and operated by "friends" of the ruling elite.  Note how it appears that President Calderon is enjoying a large friendly crowd.




This video was taken on the ground by members of the revolution, #YoSoy132.  You can clearly hear the crowd chanting "assassin, assassin" over and over again.  ou can see the people holding banners with "FRAUD" written on them.  Yet none of this appears in video number one.


None of this EVER happens in the United States.  We are in no way ever misguided by our corporate owned media.

Is the World Really on the Verge of Another Preventable War?

Does anyone even care that war is preventable? It would seem not.  Right now many Americans are busy watching sports, or reading about Justin Beiber or trying to figure out where they are going to make their next purchase.  Unfortunately many Americans have been brainwashed as a result of another ignored conspiracy.

Perhaps this is an ignorant rant by a conspiracy theorist, or perhaps this is the the whining of a lazy liberal democrat or the temper tantrum of another right wing nut job.  You decide.  You will have to read what I say and do your own research because if you are the lazy fuck that reads something this profound - that the world is on the verge of global warfare, and this time WE WILL FEEL IT AT HOME!  Not like Pearl Harbor, more like 9/11.

Read the article below and tell me what is correct or incorrect.  What is factually accurate and what is media spin - the writer's personal opinion.  Correct me if I am wrong.  Comment on this article.  Write me on @twitter at @twistedpolitix or my wife's account - @twistedeconomix.

Honestly I am tired and confused about this left right paradigm and the political spin.  To me it looks like they are all puppets of different masters.  That's why I read @Zerohedge, listen to CapitalAccount with @laurenlyster, The KeiserReport with @maxkeiser, ScottHorton of #Occupy, Mike Shedlock, James G Rickards, and so many more.

Here is a summary of where the world stands:

• Unable to reach a compromise over the weekend, South Africa is now in an all out labor strike, with the police again firing rubber bullets at miners with lethal escalation guaranteed
• Back from vacation, the once again penniless citizens of Spain, Greece, and Portugal have resumedprotesting austerity
• US embassies attacked, in many cases with numerous casualties, in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Lebanon, India, Balgadesh, Indonesia, and others.
• Japan "appropriating" China-contested islands provoking a firestorm of retaliation including demands for "war with Japan"
• The Japanese ambassador to China dying mysteriously
• Netanyahu telling Meet the Press Iran will have a nuke in six-seven months and must be stopped beforehand
• Warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, launching a military exercise in the Straits of Hormuz
• A third US aircraft - the CVN-74 Stennis - carrier is en route to Iran with an ETA of about 10 days
• And finally, a potential catalyst to light this whole mess on fire, Iran's Revolutionary Guardannouncing that its troops are now on the ground in Syria.

From Reuters:

Members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) are providing non-military assistance in Syria and Iran may get involved militarily if its closest ally comes under attack, commander-in-chief Mohammad Ali Jafari said on Sunday.

Jafari's statement is the first official acknowledgement that Iran has a military presence on the ground in Syria where an 18-month-old uprising has left tens of thousands dead.

Western countries and Syrian opposition groups have long suspected Iran has troops in Syria. Iran has denied this.

"A number of members of the Qods force are present in Syria but this does not constitute a military presence," Iranian news agency ISNA quoted Jafari as saying at a news conference.

Qods is an IRGC unit set up to export Iran's ideology. It has been accused of plotting attacks inside Iraq since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

Jafari did not indicate how many IRGC members were in Syria but said they were providing "intellectual and advisory help".

The Islamic Republic has backed Syria's President Bashar al-Assad since the crisis began and regards his rule as a key part of its axis of resistance against Israel and Sunni Arab states.

Jafari also said Iran would change its policy and offer military backing if Syria came under attack.

"I say specifically that if Syria came under military attack, Iran would also give military support but it ... totally depends on the circumstances," he said.

Next up: satellite photos somewhere "confirming" beyond a reasonable doubt that weapons of mass destruction are being prepared for usage, and a preemptive war is the only way to not only preserve peace, but to be awarded the Nobel prize in said activity.

What is perfectly obvious to anyone but the most jaded and biased, is that the West will use any opportunity of conflict escalation which in turn will send crude, and gas, prices soaring, to commence the launch of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve release, arguably at just the right time to push down gas prices, which as we showed on Friday have never been higher on this day in history. "Right time", because any SPR release will have the short-term benefit of boosting Obama's re-election chances even more, even if it means surging gas prices after the election.

The reality of course is that the bulk of upside pressure on commodity (crude and gas included) prices is as a result of the Fed and ECB's recent monetization expansion and liquidity tsunami, which does the usual: soothes the symptoms for a few weeks, crushes volatility and creates the impression that all is well.... if only to lead to yet another far more grave outcome. And since there is now officially no limit much debt the Fed will monetize, there is so no limit on how high commodity prices will go.

So while in reality any war, supposedly one which is "regional" and "contained" will merely be a smokescreen to the central banks officially taking over ownership of the insolvent developed world, the likelihood is that a war will neither be "regional" nor "contained" as both countries that make up the axis of a future hard-backed currency, China and Russia, have already made it quite clear that any intervention by the US in regions they themselves consider strategic, such as the Senkaku Islands, Syria and/or Iran, will result in retaliation.

And retaliation by one or more rising superpowers to another fading superpower, will inevitably lead to yet another World War.

Needless to say, nobody could possibly foresee war as the outcome to the global depression ver 2.0: certainly not the Princeton historian who will be, more than anyone else, responsible for it.

What is QE3 REALLY About?

These are thoughts of a smart friend of mine about the most recent round of quantitative easing.

"So I was thinking about why the Fed would be buying mortgage backed securities. They say it is to lower mortgage rates to spur the housing market, but that really doesn't make sense. The rates are near all time lows. I don't think people a putting off getting a mortgage because they are waiting for lower rates. It is because they have bad credit (from a foreclosure or short sale) or because they can't put 20% down. I don't see how the Fed buying mortgages helps either of these.
 The big question is who is the fed going to buy these securities from?  This will be the entity that gets the new money into the system.
 If it buys them from big banks, that is subsidizing them in the hope that they lend that money to people and businesses (and not bonuses)
 However, if they buy the securities from Fannie / Freddie, they are essentially giving the US treasury the money because those two entities were nationalized. So, every dollar that the fed gives Fannie / Freddie (US treasury) is one less dollar that the treasury has to raise in a bond sale (over 50% of which was being purchased by the fed anyway). It's actually worth more than a dollar, because the treasury would have needed to pay interest on those funds if they got them from a treasury security offering.
 This should slow the rate at which the treasury will need to issue bonds to get more money. Im sure the government will not admit it though. They will say something like "we made so much money from the sale of AIG stock, that the treasury didn't need to borrow as much,". This is an election year, isn't it?
Its also a useful policy to have in place before the "fiscal cliff" arrives at the end of the year.
 Make no mistake that this still expands the money supply. These dollars did not exist yesterday and tomorrow they will. It also doesn't matter if the fed buys bad securities and then writes them off. This is actually worse because overpaying for assets increases the money supply even more.
 The only bright spot would be if this action actually shrinks the assets of Fannie and Freddie so they can be shut down. However, if your goal is to spur the housing market, you would expect increased participation from those two entities, wouldn't you?"

Will the Fed's QE3 Cause Massive Inflation?

Is Hillary in Danger? How American Diplomats Are Being Targeted and the US Does Nothing

America has been humbled.  It clearly is not the superpower it pretends to be.  Inside the US we talk tough and make high powered military equipment that could destroy the world over several times. Our capitalist corporations sell those weapons all over the world, no matter how seedy the buyer... and our government does nothing to stop them because they are on the take, bribed, corrupt.

Our banks have managed to build such a friendly relationship with the Federal Reserve and other regulatory agencies that we forgive obligations and regulations while sending billions overseas to prop up foreign governments. And we wonder why we are broke? We suspend all those rules and justice for our banks while they gamble on foreign elections ,and finance the drug and arms trade all around the world... and our government does nothing to them.

Our government does allow domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies to peddle drugs invented by Nazis brought over during Operation Paperclip to our doctors while allowing not-for-profit hospitals all over the country to charge horrendous prices for extensive procedures and addictive prescription drugs (that have more side affects than the original problem we were trying to solve) and write off the "losses" when the health insurance company doesn't pay so they can avoid paying taxes.

Meanwhile the health insurance companies in the PPO system tell us we have pre-existing conditions while they lather they administration and directors in wealth.

We are supposedly broke and Obama's healthcare proposals do absolutely nothing to solve the healthcare industry wellness problem nor does it do anything to improve the financial problem associated with our aging society.  Why is that not discussed anywhere in the healthcare debate?  There are 70,000,000 baby boomers retiring and our social programs and economy are stressed because of it.  Not to mention that every time we even think of recovering the price of oil spikes and American consumers run up against a cash flow problem.

You will find that information NOWHERE except on #CapitalAccount with @laurenlyster.  (I have to get my news from YouTube because the Boob Tube is feeding me the Purina of dogfood and if you have a dog you know that is misinformed bullshit.)

We tolerate market manipulation of enormous proportions like the one "discovered" recently with the LIBOR scandal so that the banks can continue buying our bonds to prop up a government hellbent on spending itself into bankruptcy.  Meanwhile average homeowners and citizens are treated like consumers and debt slaves as the money printing and fractional reserve banking flood our markets creating higher prices creating mal-investment.

Now on top of all that our diplomats around the world are being attacked or assassinated and our military sends a frickin aircraft carrier towards Benghazi?  That's like dropping bombs on all of Iraq when all you wanted to do was get Hussein back under your thumb.

What do we expect? We are after all imposing sanctions on Iran supposedly to stop their nuclear weapons program even though our own CIA has declared it dead in the water.  How often do sanctions lead to war? Hmmm.  Think back to World War 2.  Why did Japan send kamikaze suicide bombers to attack Pearl Harbor? Because they were desperate after we cut off their access to oil in Asia.  And now we are being invited by Netanyahu to bomb Iran? We've barely finished the war on terrorism and we are going to start anyother war to keep them from trading oil for Euros or gold? That's what Libya was all about - gaining control of their central bank and redistributing the oil wealth.

Either US troops or foreign national troops should be patrolling the streets outside our embassies at this very moment or bring EVERYONE home!  Not just our troops, but our defense contractors, oil contractors, all those that are working for the establishment as Economic Hitmen.  Pull them back, put them on stage, on trial, on record, on CSPAN and let's have an honest and open discussion in this country on live television and the Internet with intellectuals, Presidential candidates, economists, economic hitmen, and investigative journalists.

Let's discuss the 9/11 documentary that aired on PBS recently.  It is supported by thousands of Americans who still know that 11 Muslim terrorists from Saudi Arabia did not commit the atrocities of 9/11 alone. They had help.  That's why you have to see this PBS documentary.

You must WAKE UP and realize that the USA is about to hand over the baton to China and we have to make sure it is done gracefully like the British after World War 1 and 2.  Otherwise the war hawks from the right and the left are going to push us into a very destructive war with China or Iran from which we may not recover.  Remember Hitler began to lose when he over extended himself into Russia and Northern Africa and Western Europe.

Someone is trying so very hard to persuade us into war.  And that is probably why someone was instructed to make the film and present it to Muslims in Libya.  To piss them off.  To stoke the fires of war.  To provoke Americans to seek REVENGE! That is if you believe that a simple film was sufficient to warrant the attack.  But what if there were other reasons not published? We must look like such fools chasing after Osama Bin Ladin and a dozen other CIA assets like him for 10 years, bombing everything in sight along the way.  We trained him, like we did Saddam Hussein and every other tyrant around the world from Noriega to Gaddafi, to the Shah of Iran, and we have seen how all of those turned out.  DEAD.

My guess is that everyone else in the world knows who was really behind the massacres of 9/11.  Ask the foreigners around you.  Find out what they say.  Especially ask those who have only lived in the USA for a few years.  But don't worry, not only Americans are deprived of access to the truth about geoplitics, democracy, and capitalism.  You will find some of your foreign friends fools as well.  Many of them are frustrated like you and I because deep down they know that we are acting like European colonialists and bombing countries around the world not for democracy, or to save the world or some liberal BS like that.  We are opening up new markets for our companies to exploit.  That's fascism baby! Not capitalism.  How many bases do we have around the world? And yet we can't protect our diplomats?  Does that mean that even Hillary Clinton is in danger? Maybe we should ask Bill.  They both seem to be insiders anyway, protected by some sort of creed.

Let's face it.  The scam is pretty enticing.  You and I have fallen for it here.  We all got excited by the ability to get loans out the ying yang.  Shit it's the only way to keep up with the Jones'.  Every corporation in America and the world suffers now that we are not falling further into debt.  American consumption, driven by media madness, has found limits.

It's called Capitalism by some but those of us on the inside call it something else.  We know that corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations.  We are playing a monopoly game where the rules are fixed and we can't win unless we sell our soul to the devil and work our way inside their secret societies.  And who better than to take advantage of both government bureaucracy and corporate greed, well of course you know what I am going to say... the Federal Reserve, which is a damn good reason to audit them.  Let's hope the Senate ratifies the bill being presented to them this very month.  Let's see what free money the Fed is passing out in secret.  I assume those are not State secrets.

We recently almost lost 2 CIA agents in Mexico.  They were in a bullet proof car marked with diplomatic plates and a group of Mexican police shot at them.  No once, or twice, but hundreds of times.  The intent was to kill, not to scare.  But the Americans got away without firing a single shot.  Hmmm.  Do we still give "aid" to Calderon? The real question is, where did the weapons come from? The ATF, the CIA, our arms dealers, or Russian arms dealers, or maybe even Israeli arms dealers.  Who gave the order? That's an important question.  Did Calderon know about the attacks beforehand? Or was it a surprise like the grenade attacks in Morelia in September 2008 when our banks happened to be going broke.  Was that a warning from the drug kingpins to follow their instructions or their would be blood? Since then over 50,000 people are dead.  Hmmm.

Now, we have a low budget film put together by a completely unknown individual who says he is Israeli real estate developer working with Jewish financiers to make a film about a 2000 year old Egyptian man, so were are told by one of the actresses.  Hmmm.  Sounds divisive! (you know from Divide and Conquer) .  It was put together in California and placed on YouTube or somehow distributed to locals who got so pissed that we made a film about Muhommed that they stormed the American embassy for 2 days with weapons.  They weren't even afraid of our response?  They weren't afraid of getting caught? They have tolerated our oil companies, military, and bankers for a little over a year now since we destroyed their country with a civil war and this little film puts them over the edge?  Hmmm.  What to believe.

Let's see what the press says over the next few days.  If there is a trail to Iran then it was the Mossad working for the Zionists of the Lukid party who are trying to provoke the USA into war with Iran.  Can't they see we are too busy supporting Al Queda in Syria? We've got our hands full.  Obama is putting them off until after the elections and Romney has gone so far as to GO TO ISRAEL and beg for their contributions, or tacit support, or even make a deal with them.  He is a pitbull who made Bain Capital.  He is not going to let this opportunity fall by the wayside after his mother failed her Senate run.  It is time for his dynasty to have its day in the sun.  Mitt Romney will not weep the sorrows of his father's political failures.  He wants to be President.  Or does Obama want it more?  The bankers aren't taking any chances.  They are placing their bets on both sides, funding both candidates.  

No matter what we do around the world China will say nothing.  Mainly because they are not as big of hypocrites outside their own country.  I mean Tibet is a HUGE source of natural resources and the Beijing lead crowd is encroaching.  Putin will speak some truth but we will probably never hear it.  he Europeans will say nothing since they are afraid we will continue to tighten the noose in the currency wars and strangle their economy.

The Ambassador went BACK to the embassy and was killed there.  For 2 days the embassy was attacked and we didn't lift a finger to help them? That's worse than our 9/11 response.  I thought we could send in drones to any part of the world.  Maybe they were busy dropping bombs on Yemenis or spying on French banks or the German high court so that JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs or Lehman Brothers (they are back by the way) could get the better edge in the trades after the markets opened but before the announcement that the ECB can print money like the Federal Reserve.  Surprise!  More money printing and the stock markets goes to al time highs again.  Kaching.

So who will answer these questions? Who's opinion can we trust? Who has been an honest stalwart for responsible government?  Ron Paul.  But of course our media wouldn't let him have the spotlight.  He would take away all their defense contracts and privileges by introducing sound money.

Anyway, perhaps we can still ask him for his opinion.  We hope he will share.

Texas Straight Talk 888-322-1414

What is the industrial hemp bill and why does it affect you?

Yeah, most of you thought I was going to talk about marijuana, right? No.  Actually I want to talk to you about industrial hemp.  No no wait. Don't go to sleep, dont turn away.  This is really and truly a modern prohibition against a non narcotic plant that was mistaken by Congress as the weed that the drug cartels have delivered for centuries.

The industrial hemp bill will take non-narcotic industrial hemp off of the list of severity 1 drugs by the federal drug administration.  Growers of this plant, similar to early Americans like Thomas Jefferson, the Cherokee, or whoever else was growing the plant in the territory now known as the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada, could once again grow the plant and sell their harvest without fear of prosecution, arrest, or disdain.  They could once again grow a crop that was not only profitable, but healthy for every single ecosystem of life on the planet.

Sort of like those farmers that got a special license to do so during the second world war.  Yes, you read right.  The DEA, CIA, FBI, ICE, DOJ, local police and every other legal institution is making a profit from the illegal drug trade and they all stand firmly against this farm bill and the legalization of hemp.  However, during a war we suspended all notions of liberty, civil rights, free citizens, and caution and switched nearly every industry in the country over to produce a war machine.  It is was harmonic because obviously the US war machine has never been shut down.

But at the time we needed hemp for sailors uniforms, hemp seed for food and fuel for the navy ships, we launched special government propaganda campaign to provide licenses to certain people to grow hemp, but strictly for war purposes, and as soon as the war was over, their charter was taken away.

Jimmy Carter, Geopolitics, and Energy Transition

Listen to what Jimmy Carter says.  Do you think Obama, Bush, or Romney could be that honest?  No wonder there was an October surprise to make him a one term president.  He couldn't be bought.  Just like Ron paul and yet Americans will not even get their chance to vote for Ron Paul (with the exception of the write-in).

Now ask yourself.  What global political and economical events seem to occur together.  Think.  War, political unrest, oil price swings, economic downturns, drug wars, scandal, and crime waves.

Sound familiar? This is happening NOW and Americans don't even know it.

Geopolitics, Energy, The Petrodollar, and Financial Warfare

How different is today from the 1970's when we were so fragile that Saudi Arabia and OPEC cut us off from their oil? That was a direct response to the foreign policy we maintain of supporting Israel no matter what they do to others.

Listen to Lindsay Hall and hear the geopolitical scenarios that could happen and think through the repercussions.  Now, assume that the economy will tank when oil goes to $140 a barrel and that banks will collapse, credit markets freeze up, and companies that are leveraged stop making payroll.  BAM! Unemployment goes from a reported 8.1% to 12% in less than 12 months.

Then listen to Stephen Leeb and hear his argument regarding scarcity, prices, and interdependencies of iron ore, copper, silver, photo voltaic, food, water, energy, poverty, the economy, and the economy in general.

Imagine the possibilities of an economy that grows this powerful plant.  We can produce cars from hemp like Henry Ford tried to do before World War II.  We can make biofuel 10 times more efficient than corn ethanol and 100 times cleaner than petroleum, and we dont have to go to war in another country to get it.




Click here to send a letter or call your senator to demand they support this bill.  There is no logical explanation for prohibition other than twisted politicians and businessmen conspiring to profit from oil and war.

The Greatest Battle of the Senate in the 21st Century

You must push the Senate to debate the Audit the Fed Bill submitted by Ron Paul.

Global Censorship of Mexico at War for Democracy #FastandFurious #DrugWar #Infowars

Even the Guardian is involved in the global censorship business, working for the powers that be, witholding vital information about Mexico from the world.

See this article was supposed to be about how Pena Nieto, the President Elect from the PRI in Mexico is working with the existing President Calderon, of the PAN party to make civil protest illegal.  That would be because the people are completely aware of the fraud that is being perpetrated on them and they are scared, angry, and frustrated.  They have taken to the streets before and when they really get pissed, there's a revolution.  CNN Expansion is covering the story with their usual American slant.

But not this time if Pena Nieto gets his way.  No.  This time there will be no revolution.  The wealthy elite led by Carlos Salim Helu gets his way.  Or perhaps it is so the CIA will be able to maintain their stronghold on the illegal arms, oil, and weapons business.  Maybe its because the wealthy elite of Mexico act just like the bastards that control the White House, Congress, the Senate, and Wall Street here in the United States.  The same bastards that control our Federal Reserve and central banks all over the world.  Maybe it was them.  Maybe they are acting alone.  Either way, should the world just sit by and watch while Mexico gets pummeled into the 16th century? The rule by the 1% is back.  Mexico has thrown them out before, but do they have the guts, the courage, and the stamina to kick them out again?

Call them what you will, but I call them organized crime syndicates, cartels, family dynasties, monarchies, royalties, aristocrats, and fat greedy bastards.  The money masters of the 21st century.

Perhaps there will be justice...

Could Student Loan Debt Be Hindering the Housing Recovery?

Housing is not going to recover like the pundits would have you believe.  For a partial summary of the evidence, listen the Bloomberg radio podcast on housing linked below.

Harvard's Glaeser Discusses National Housing Trends (Audio)

Aug 28, 2012

Edward Glaeser, professor of economics at Harvard University and a Bloomberg View columnist, says that national trends in housing continue to be a relatively poor guide to local markets. Glaeser speaks with Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Michael McKee on "Bloomberg On the Economy."

Then look at this chart.

Any chance that all the recent grads with minimum wage jobs or no jobs are going to pay back their massive student loan debts and buy a home with 20% down.  Don't even get me started on the scandal that is FICO credit scoring.  Anyone impacted by the crisis of 2008 knows it will be another 3-4 years before they can buy a house ASSUMING they have a solid well paying job and good credit.

This chart was taken from Zerohedge.com, an absolute source of truth for the financially saavy, or those that want to be, like me.

RNC Nominates Obama Twin, Romney, Continue the Status Quo

Yes, YOU, the 99% will pay your hard earned taxes to support a government that does absolutely nothing to your benefit while the plutocrats continue to divide and conquer us all.

Whether you are a fan of Romney or Obama or not, you should recognize that they are the same in many ways.  In what they say and do...


Here is a more descriptive outline of the points they have in common, and yet we are so divided.

And who their puppet masters are.


Not that voting records matter...



But hey, how are you supposed to vote.  All politicians are corrupt and evil and Congress and the Senate are worthless and it doesn't matter so long as you do your own thing, right?

Paul Ryan is NOT What He Purports to be

By David Sirota
The Greanville PostAugust 18, 2012

The GOP’s presumptive vice presidential nominee is the 21st century’s flesh-and-blood embodiment of political deception and media obfuscation.

Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan admires Ayn Rand, and if you believe Republican Party mythology, Ryan is a messianic John Galt who will save America from a secret socialist conspiracy. Thus, in Rand fashion, it’s worth asking: Who Is Paul Ryan?

The answer is simple: the GOP’s presumptive vice presidential nominee is the 21st century’s flesh-and-blood embodiment of political deception and media obfuscation.

Purporting to be a small-government budget hawk, Ryan publicly decries corporate welfare and says he wants “to get Washington out of the business of picking winners and losers.” This has generated press coverage promoting Ryan as a great fiscal conservative. Yet, written out of the story is the fact that Ryan is a Huge Government Republican who voted for–and in some cases, still defends–the biggest examples of corporate welfare in American history.

Ryan, you see, was the Huge Government Republican who backed this era’s massive corporate bailouts–the one that picked politically connected companies as winners and taxpayers as losers. He was the Huge Government Republican who regularly voted for profligate war spending bills–the ones that blew a gaping hole in the federal budget. And he is the Huge Government Republican now using his committee chairmanship to oppose serious cuts to the deficit-exploding corporate welfare still embedded in the bloated Pentagon budget.

Similarly, Ryan claims to be, and is billed in the press as, a libertarian-inspired acolyte of Rand–a man who supposedly values freedom and limited government. But as a Huge Government Republican, he has consistently voted to expand the surveillance state, endorse warrantless wiretapping and permit indefinite detention. Oh, and in contradiction to Rand’s writings, he has also pushed to use the power of Huge Government to end a woman’s right to choose an abortion.

Like so many Republicans, Ryan genuflects to the private sector and insinuates that the government is not a job creator. It’s funny coming from a guy who has spent most of his adult life as a federal employee and whose family’s construction company brags of building its fortune off government highway contracts.

Ryan labels himself an opponent of “crony capitalism” and is often promoted by reporters as someone who can help Mitt Romney thwart the Washington insiders who corrupt our politics. Somehow, we are expected to ignore the fact that Ryan has spent the vast majority of his adult life in Washington; that his wife served as a top pharmaceutical and oil lobbyist in Washington; and that, as Newsweek reported in 2011, he tried to insert special provisions into federal law that would boost his personal oil investment portfolio.

Then there are Ryan’s budget proposals, whose central premises are that Medicare must be gutted and Social Security must be turned over to Wall Street because we allegedly don’t have enough revenue to fund them. In response, the press often credits Ryan’s blueprint for being courageous and honest. Yet, in the very same plans, Ryan proposes to severely deplete public revenues by eliminating all taxes on capital gains, interest and dividends, meaning that, according to The Atlantic magazine, Mitt Romney would pay a 0.82 percent tax rate on his $21 million annual earnings.

Republican powerbrokers, of course, hope you never learn any of this. They hope you and an obsequious press don’t bother to review Ryan’s congressional votes or his legislative history. They are hoping, in other words, that when you see Ryan’s boyish Midwestern visage, you won’t see the real Ryan–and you won’t see what his ascent to vice president might mean for the future of America.

Get Your Own Lobbyist! Send a Delegate to Tampa Today!

Dear Twisted Politix,

As you know, the Republican National Convention is right around the corner!

From the beginning, I’ve said this convention in Tampa will be a critical step for our R3VOLUTION.

That’s why I’ve instructed my campaign staff to offer financial assistance to our delegates who otherwise wouldn't be able to make it in order to ensure every one of them can reach Tampa.

But in order to make this a reality, can I count on you to please make a generous contribution to help as many of our campaign’s delegates as possible make it to the Republican National Convention?

As you know, the establishment hasn’t just sat still and quietly watched us take over party chapters and rack up delegates.

Their opposition has required our campaign to spend resources in Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, and Oregon to defend our gains and defeat their challenges.

And with August just around the corner, we want to make sure we can cover expenses for delegates that need help reaching the convention.

Your contribution will be put directly toward transportation, lodging, and other costs associated with getting these delegates to Tampa.

This is incredibly important for a number of reasons:

***  First, the Republican National Convention is our opportunity to plant our flag and show that our Liberty movement is the future of the GOP.

Seeing a flood of pro-liberty delegates and so many new and young faces in Tampa will respectfully send that message to the GOP establishment.

***  Second, we’re expecting a credentials battle at the Convention to ensure the national GOP doesn’t just “look the other way” at some of the dirty tricks my supporters had to deal with in many states.

I’ll need my supporters in Tampa to help ensure as many of our campaign’s delegates get credentialed as possible.

***  And finally, the Republican National Convention provides us with the opportunity to affect the Party Platform.

As you know, pro-liberty delegates will be fighting for an internet freedom plank, an Audit the Fed plank, and a plan opposing the indefinite detention of American citizens.

We may also have a battle over a plank opposing the so-called “PATRIOT” Act and undeclared wars.

Getting these crucial issues in the Republican Party Platform will not only show that we are the future of the GOP, but also perhaps even help convince some legislators who were “on the fence” on these issues to start coming our way.

That’s why I’m hoping I can count on you to make a generous contribution to help our campaign’s delegates get to Tampa.

There’s no doubt that our Liberty Movement is growing by leaps and bounds.

And it’s because of your hard work and dedication that we are the future of the Republican Party.

Thank you for all of that hard work and for everything you’ve done for my campaign!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
