After months of activism and lobbying by Congressman Ron Paul’s supporters, House Resolution 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, will move out of committee to be debated by the full House of Representatives.

In a show of cross-party unity, Ohio Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich became the bill’s 218th co-sponsor, pushing it over the threshold for debate in Congress.

 

Almost 30 key lawmakers helping draft landmark health-care legislation have financial holdings in the industry, totaling nearly $11 million worth of personal investments in a sector that could be dramatically reshaped by this summer's debate.

A three-judge panel of the 5th District Court of Appeals ruled that Bush does not have to submit to a deposition from a former condo owner suing Southern Methodist University, the future site of the presidential library.

Gary Vodicka, who was forced out of his condominium by SMU to make way for the library, contends the university coveted the property and lied about its intentions.

 

A recent series of small earthquakes in North Texas has people wondering: could it have anything to do with drilling for natural gas?

Seismic activity used to be rare in Texas. It seems to be increasing since drilling took off in towns sitting on the Barnett Shale, a formation rich in natural gas.

 

Scrambling, desperate for cover, the Federal Reserve has hired previous Enron lobbyists to schmooze congress. I’m sure Ben Bernanke was pleading with his demonic overlords for HR 1207 never to hit the floor. Alas, my poor friend, with over 225 cosponsors Ron Paul’s bill for auditing the Federal Reserve will be heard.

The likelihood of HR 1207 actually passing is slim to none, even if it gets past the House and Senate. However, the point is not the passage of the bill, though it would be nice. It’s more about the awareness factor. The fact that the mainstream media can no longer hold their tongue and must cover the event plays huge for the freedom movement.

 

Sen. Grassley had written Obama a letter pointing to a law requiring that Congress be given the reasons an inspector general is fired. The requirement is designed to ensure that inspectors general are not removed for political reasons.

A Democratic senator who attended a recent meeting with Obama said the president did not object when the issue [of delay] was raised, saying he preferred an alternative he outlined last winter. A 2013 effective date would allow Obama to run for re-election before its impact is felt.

Since March, when the Fed stepped in to fill the lending vacuum left by banks and Wall Street firms, officials have been dragged into murky battles over the creditworthiness of narrow-bore industries like motor homes, rental cars, snowmobiles, recreational boats and farm equipment �" far removed from the central bank’s expertise.

"NSA is the only place in the U.S. government that has the capabilities we need for defense of the private networks," said a senior fellow and cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "We need to find a way to use those capabilities without putting civil liberties at risk."

Lest it be thought that I'm exaggerating, consider Keith Olbermann's effort to connect Ron Paul -- a man devoted to peace and protecting the individual rights of everybody, a man who seems biologically incapable of malice -- to James von Brunn, the troubled 88-year-old man accused of carrying out the murderous shooting rampage at the Holocaust Museum.

Max Talbot scored two goals and the Pittsburgh Penguins overcame an injury in the second period to captain Sidney Crosby to defeat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 in a gripping Game 7 to win the Stanley Cup on Friday night.

The Penguins won a third Cup in their history and their first since their championships in 1991 and 1992.

 

The gigantic bio-tech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years. Watch the full-length video here.

WHO-Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan has raised the global pandemic alert from “Phase 5″ to the highest level of “Phase 6,” signaling a jump in swine flu cases on multiple continents and systemic person-to-person transmission. (Interestingly, the WHO’s pandemic action plan was finalized and put into full effect only two weeks before the swine flu scare began in late April.) 

I bring this declaration of “Phase 6″ to your attention because the formal activation of U.S. emergency plans are now technically in effect.

Assuming the number of flu cases in the United States climb dramatically (as expected) during the flu season later this year, under the UN/WHO plan, Americans could be subjected to forced quarantine and “pharmaceutical interventions” (i.e. mandatory mass vaccinations), curtailment of public meetings and events, and the shutting down of entire school systems.

 

 

 

The Homestead Revolution does not violently overthrow the status quo and corporate, money lover world. It builds a coexisting alternative to accommodate those who want out of the status quo.The greater the accommodation, the more people will opt out.The more people opt out, the less control and manipulation the corporate world wields over its remaining supporters and revolutionaries. 

 

 -- pretty cool especially when you can "see" right up inside it.
