The Century of Self

This is a real good documentary to help clue you into how we got to where we are today. It is an Adam Curtis special illustrating how psychology, pubic relations, and the Sigmund Freud family captured and channeled mass consciousness. As a Christian, I see this totally playing into the prophesied "falling away".  As the Freudian influence on psychology waned, a new individualism took hold and was viewed as a means of further prompting demand for products. This began to play apart in the politics of the '80s, so I don't want the mention of Reagan to make all you Ron Reagan fans freak, as I find it a fascinating way to look at recent history with a fresh understanding. A word of warning  -the '60s part of the show is pretty icky as you can imagine. Anyway, you don't hear this at school or anywhere else.

Avoiding Puppet Candidates

Brandon Smith writes on How TO avoid candidates in the pocket of the banksters who are shamelessly pumping America's money overseas unaccountably. I know I've been fooled before because I didn't know what to look for. Brandon gives you the seven questions to ask before voting:

1)  Have They Ever Promised To Investigate, Audit, Or Dissolve The Private Federal Reserve Bank?
The Federal Reserve is the primary culprit in the creation of the derivatives and credit bubble.  Its use of artificially low interest rates inflated the housing market and by extension the U.S. economy, energizing international banking fraud and producing perhaps the greatest financial black hole in history.  It is currently staving off the effects of this collapse through the constant printing of fiat money from thin air, setting up the U.S. for a currency implosion of epic proportions.  
If your candidate has never made more than a passing sound bite comment on the Federal Reserve and what they plan to do about the poisonous debt and dollar devaluation that the private central bank has generated, then it is likely they are either too ignorant to understand how the institution operates, or, they know full well the problem, and plan to do nothing about it.  Ask directly any politician you plan to vote for; will they promise to fully audit and or shut down the Federal Reserve, especially if foul play or corruption is discovered?  If they defend the Fed, or dance around the question, then they are not on your side, nor on the side of true free markets and a stable economy.     

Wall Street and FDR: Chapter 6

Prelude to the New Deal

In this chapter we will be setting the stage further for the full explosion of corporate socialism in America that has reached its terminal stage in our nation today. We will be exploring the history of Roosevelt's past and how they were down with collectivism before the Civil War. Says our host, Dr. Sutton:

The full story of the construction of corporate socialism in the United States, as envisaged by the financier-philosophers identified in the previous chapter, is beyond the scope of this book, but we can gain greater perspectives through a brief look at a few facets of the historical process: for example, Clinton Roosevelt's system a century before FDR, Bernard Baruch's War Industries Board, and Paul Warburg's Federal Reserve System.

Fred Thompson, A Globalist Exposed

Former Fredhead here feeling pretty betrayed by someone I thought was All-American. Just goes to show how uneducated I was the last election cycle. Following the first rule of blogging, if someone has already done the work, share it. Tom Kovach, a fellow Tennessean had this to write in the last presidential cycle on Sen. Fred Thompson and clues you into how a state full of liberty loving people wind up with CFR tools in high office:

Ayatollah Santorum the Sanctimonious (ASS)

This little nugget was written by
 Thomas DiLorenzo
via LRC.

The freedom to do whatever you want to do – as long as you do not harm anyone else or interfere in their equal freedom – would "lead to libertinism and lead to chaos" said Sanctimonious Santorum, who has also pledged to do what he can to put an end to contraception if elected president. Contraception changes "the way things ought to be," he says. Santorum is self assured that he, and he alone, understands "the way things ought to be" and pledges to use the powers of the state to forcefully impose his "understanding" 

But the founding fathers are known as champions of freedom, are they not? But what kind of freedom? According to Santorum, who apparently fancies himself as an historian, freedom in America means "the freedom to do what you ought to do – what you are properly ordered to do [by a politician like himself] – as someone living a good, decent, and ordered life" (emphasis added). "That’s the differentiation that I believe Ron Paul and I have with respect to what liberty is," said Santorum. To Rick Santorum, "freedom" means doing what government "properly" orders you to do, as long as government is controlled by good, proper, moral people like himself, the K-Street lobbyist for the Pennsylvania coal mining industry (and anyone else who will pay his huge fees for influence peddling).

This is not the view of the American founding fathers, as Santorum claims. It is more likely to have been the mindset of the founders of the Soviet Union, not the American union. It is the mindset of the neoconservatives whose founding members were, after all, Trotskyite communists. This includes the self-described "godfather" of neoconservatism, the late Irving Kristol, who reveled in talking about his youthful Trotskyite roots. 

If Santorum really wanted to know how the founding fathers defined freedom he would not make up imaginary, two-century old dictionary entries but would read what the founders actually said. A good place to start would be Thomas Jefferson’s first inaugural address where he stated: "[A] wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government . . ." It is hard to imagine that Jefferson, the author of the 1786 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom that strongly opposed the governmental imposition of any religious views on anyone while defending religious liberty in general, would have admired an Uber-Catholic Theocrat like Santorum. For government to compel a man to support a religious cause with which he disbelieves, wrote Jefferson, is "sinful and tyrannical."

 I would argue that Ricky isn't an uber-Catholic, but a political hack who'll keep pimping out his religious affiliation for as many gullible fools as possible. Am I being unjust? Not for a guy who took $100k of taxpayer money to cyber educate. That's a lot of field trips man...

When Ron Paul says that such victimless crimes as prostitution or smoking pot should be decriminalized, says Santorum, "that’s not the moral foundation of our country," once again pretending to be The Expert on the thinking of the founding fathers. There’s one problem with Santorum’s historical revisionism, however. Prostitution was in fact pervasive in Colonial America. Prostitutes traveled with George Washington’s army, serving as nurses and cooks as well as prostitutes. In fact, there were no laws in America banning prostitution until Massachusetts enacted the first one in 1917. (The 1910 "Mann Act," named after Congressman James Mann, prohibited "white slavery" for the purpose of prostitution). Federal laws against prostitution were first enacted after women got the right to vote and immediately outlawed prostitution in the vicinity of military bases when their husbands and boyfriends were off serving in the military. In other words the founding fathers agreed with Ron Paul, not Rick Santorum, on personal liberty issues.

 America is "not just a collection of freedoms," said the insufferably sanctimonious Santorum. It is, instead, a collection of orders from the state defining what "proper" behavior is. Stalin himself could not have said it better.

TSA Detects Steel Balls on Rand Paul - Detains

This is an outrage and I would hope that there would be tremendous blowback and a huge discussion on what the TSA is really all about. I think it is obvious by now that it is not our security but another control mechanism. For one thing, it's a huge government jobs project. For another, it's a valuable tool in the police state arsenal. And also, I've documented how it was a money maker for former Dept of Homeland Secretary, Michael Chertoff, who's company was invested in the naked body scanners. In that same post, I documented how the underwear bomber got on that flight to Detroit with the full knowledge of the State Dept, despite being on the no-fly list.

The fact that this is going on within driving distance of my house disgusts me beyond measure. I feel literally sick to my stomach. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord... Things like this are very instructive to anyone who has doubt about who's on what team.

It's the banksters versus the people.
It's Hamilton vs. Jefferson.
It's collectivism vs. freedom.
It's secular humanism vs. Christianity.
It's the masses vs. the remnant.

If your blood doesn't boil over this, it must be blue and you must be a bankster.

Thank you God for the Pauls.

Adam from Mythbusters tells you just how effective TSA is. There might be and f-bomb, so watch for that. Overall, very instructive:

Oh, and recently TSA misses loaded gun, in case you think this is about security at all.
