Good Morning, Sweetheart: Now You’re On Fire, Courtesy of the Local Police

"The child was asleep in her upstairs bedroom when a stranger lobbed an incendiary grenade into her home at about 6:00 a.m. October 9. Within seconds the 12-year-old girl had suffered first- and second-degree burns. Her father, who had been awakened by an insistent pounding on the front door, arrived in the living room just in time to see a wolf pack of armed intruders break it down. He dodged another grenade that “blew the nails out of the drywall” and left a “large bowl-shaped dent in the wall,” the father later recalled. This act of state terrorism was carried out by a SWAT team attached to the City-County Special Investigations Unit (CCIU) in Billings, Montana." Continue reading →

Another Obama Executive Order Allows Seizure of Americans’ Bank Accounts

"If an individual is declared by the president, the secretary of state, or the secretary of the treasury to be a 'sanctioned person,' he (or she) will be unable to obtain access to his accounts, will be unable to process any loans (or make them), or move them to any other financial institution inside or outside the United States. The EO expands its authority by making him unable to use any third party such as 'a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, subgroup or other organization' that might wish to help him or allow him to obtain access to his funds. If the individual so 'sanctioned' decides that the ruling is unfair, he isn't allowed to sue." Continue reading →

Tracking School Children With RFID Tags? It’s All About the Benjamins

"Just as the U.S. Department of Agriculture mandates Radio Frequency Identification Device chips to monitor livestock, a Texas school district just begun implanting the devices on student identification cards to monitor pupils’ movements on campus, and to track them as they come and go from school. Tagging school children with RFID chips is uncommon, but not new. A federally funded preschool in Richmond, California, began embedding RFID chips in students’ clothing in 2010. With the RFID tracking, students not at their desk but tracked on campus are counted as being in school that day, and the district receives its daily allotment for that student." Continue reading →

Carlos Slim, World’s Richest Man, Gets Richer Supplying ‘Obamaphones’ to Poor

"A Mexican telecom mogul who holds the title of world's richest man, and one of President Obama's top donors are both getting even richer from the U.S. government program that supplies so-called 'Obamaphones' to the poor. Carlos Slim, who has an estimated net worth of $70 billion, owns a controlling stake in TracFone, which makes $10 per phone for each device it provides to poor Americans. The program, which began in the mid-1980s, has exploded in the past four years after being expanded from supplying landlines to the poor to providing cellular phones." Continue reading →

Jim Rogers on Politics, Money Metals and How to Deal With an Endless Downturn

"Be very careful. Study some history and study some economics and see how these things always play out in the end. Prepare yourself. Make sure you have a professional advisor and you should do okay. Make sure you have investments that will do okay. Move to a new country if you are worried about your own country. I own commodities and currencies. I short stocks. I teach my children Mandarin. Both of my children speak perfect Mandarin. Both English and Mandarin will be important in the 21st century, in my view. We moved to Singapore so my children could learn and speak Mandarin. That's how I'm living my life." Continue reading →
