‘Monsanto Protection Act’ attached to Obamacare defunding bill

“The House Republican government funding bill, which passed in the House last week, contains a three-month extension of the Monsanto Protection Act, which shields companies like Monsanto and Dow Chemical from legal action resulting from Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) crops. The Act also places the authority of whether or not GMO crops can be grown and sold domestically into the hands of Federal Department of Agriculture rather than with the courts or public referendum. The Democratically-controlled Senate is making no plans to work to keep the rider active beyond its current expiration date.” Continue reading →

The IRS Rewrites Obamacare

“Obama and his IRS are bypassing Congress and rewriting Obamacare on their own. The IRS is imposing health insurance mandates on employers and individuals even in states where by law they’re exempt (http://shar.es/iI2HW). Obama also broke the law by extending the deadline for the employer mandate by a year. He bypassed Congress in making these arbitrary changes. He’s picking and choosing which provisions to enforce, and when. Neither Obamacare nor the Constitution give him that discretion. His actions are illegal. And he’s setting a precedent that will allow future presidents to ignore or rewrite legislation. But his lawlessness exposes a truth…” Continue reading →

The Larger the Deficit, the Greater the Default

“There will be a day of reckoning, of course. There always is. But a majority of voters at that time will be sure to see to it that previous lenders will suffer the losses. There will be a Great Default. The lenders will cry: ‘But you promised.’ And the borrowers will cry: ‘That’s life in the land of Keynes. In the long run, we’re all dead. You go first.’ The big losers will be the suckers who lent Uncle Sam the money. The biggest lenders are those who trust the federal government to pay their retirement bills, including medical bills. Those who believe in the welfare state will be the biggest losers. They have believed in something for nothing. They will get left with a pile of IOUs and a note: ‘Sorry, Charlie.'” Continue reading →

What Will ObamaCare Cost You, Beginning on January 1? Do You Know?

“They call this insurance. It’s not insurance. It’s free care for the already ill. Someone must pay. Guess who? You! How much will your premiums be raised? Have you been told yet? If not, do you know how to find out? Have you made the household budget revisions that will be required on January 1? Or are you just waiting to see what happens? This gigantic change in American health care is due to go into effect on January 1. Everyone is supposed to enroll on October 1. Are they ready to comply? Do they know how to comply? The IRS will administer this. What if most people fail to comply? What will the IRS do then? With what percentage of its employees?” Continue reading →

Government Shutdown: An Oxymoron for Real Morons

“The words ‘government shutdown’ do not mean ‘government shutdown.’ They mean ‘boondoggle shutdown.’ They mean ‘special-interest-group-subsidy shutdown.’ What about the Post Office? Will it get shut down? No. What about the CIA? Will it get shut down? No. What about the NSA? Will it get shut down? No. What about the TSA? Will it get shut down? No. What about the Department of Homeland Security? Will it get shut down? No. My suggestion: stop worrying about a government shutdown. Instead, keep worrying about the government staying open . . . just like you did before.” Continue reading →

Shutdown: ObamaCare (No) and the Federal Government (No)

“So, how long will House Republicans continue to take a stand? Until the polls indicate that they will lose in November 2014. On October 1, enrollment in the exchanges is to begin. But hardly anyone knows how to enroll yet. The computer programs are not ready. The confusion has not yet hit. The sense of betrayal has not yet hit Obama’s poll numbers. If Republicans can hold out long enough for resentment against the program to spread, they win politically. They can hold out longer. But at some point, they will capitulate. That’s what the uncertainty is all about. It’s about the timing of their capitulation.” Continue reading →

Media Begin Orchestrating the Celebration: the FED’s 100th Birthday

“We are beginning to see a coordinated media celebration of the Federal Reserve System. This is in preparation for the 100th anniversary of its creation just before the Christmas holidays in 1913, when the bill was passed by a handful of Senators and signed into law within two hours by President Wilson. The Establishment media’s objective with this media blitz is clear: to praise the FED’s independence from the federal government, despite the fact that it possesses federal sovereignty. No other organization possesses federal sovereignty, yet is beyond federal control. It is unique in this respect.” Continue reading →

Autonomy of the Federal Reserve Is Praised by Media

“With the 100th birthday celebration of the FED coming in late December, the media have begun serving as the FED’s ‘Amen corner.’ This Associated Press article on Janet Yellen is typical. Her main qualification is said to be her independence of the President. Is she liberal? Yes. Is she a dove on inflation? Yes. No matter. No other institution of our government gets a free ride the way the Board of Governors of the FED does. No other agency with its URL ending in .gov has such autonomy. No, not even the CIA. The CIA still must be funded by Congress. The FED funds Congress.” Continue reading →
