As the healthcare debate rages on, there is one reality that even the proponents of this hostile takeover of healthcare by government cannot ignore – and that is money.  The government simply does not have the money for a new, expansive, public healthcare plan.  The country is in a deep recession that will deepen even further with the coming collapse of the commercial real estate market.  The last thing we need is for government to increase and expand taxes to pay for another damaging, wasteful program.  Foreigners are becoming less enthusiastic about buying our debt, and creating another open-ended

Video footage of UFO Lake Havasu, Arizona recorded on July 3rd, 2009 sure looks like it real to me. There is about 3 minutes of footage.  Freaky.   Is the saucer property of aliens or the government.  Probably Alien else why would it be bought to you by little know youtube user.  Or is it a hoax?    There is even a shot with a plane in the background.  were it doctored video I would say why did they add the moving plane witht the saucer at the end of the clip?

Dear Liberty Dollar Supporters!

1. Liberty Dollar - Ambushed & Closed

It is with a very heavy heart that I regret to inform you that I have suspended (closed) the Liberty Dollar operation… until I am acquitted.

Trust me, after 23 years of research and development plus almost 11 years of practical application in the marketplace, I did not make this decision easily. When I discovered that the FBI had issued an arrest warrant for me, I "self reported" i.e. turned myself in to the US Marshals on June 4, 2009. After I was booked and made a very quick court appearance in Fort Myers, Florida, I was released on an Appearance Bond with certain terms such as: don't violate any laws, call every Tuesday, fax a report every month, etc. But when I made my "Initial Appearance" in the US District Court in Charlotte on July 6, 2009, I was ambushed by the DOJ Prosecutor with FBI Agent Romaguolo grinning by his side. At the Prosecutor**

Hi Uncle Earnie,   A member of my boyfriends family was recently jumped by two men who attempted to kill him in Arkansas. They were waiting for him when he was on his way to work at around 7:30 in the morning. The men attempted to place a cloth with chemicals over his face and beat him. His wife screamed when she heard the commotion, and their son was awakened by what was happening. One of the men started toward the house and his son was forced to shoot at him...the man was killed. The other tried to flee on foot and even though their victim had been beaten he managed to get ahold of his own gun and tried to shoot at him. I thought that this might be of interest to you, because it made think twice in terms of being able to protect myself. Had they not had any protection who knows what would have happened to them. Daven.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am not an expert or a scholar or an activist. I am more of an eye-witness. I watched the Soviet Union collapse, and I have tried to put my observations into a concise message. I will leave it up to you to decide just how urgent a message it is.

My talk tonight is about the lack of collapse-preparedness here in the United States. I will compare it with the situation in the Soviet Union, prior to its collapse. The rhetorical device I am going to use is the "Collapse Gap" – to go along with the Nuclear Gap, and the Space Gap, and various other superpower gaps that were fashionable during the Cold War.

If the news media would report on the CONTENTS of the proposed federal health care takeover (see details below) it would die in a day. People would rise up, as they did over the recent illegal-alien amnesty attempt, and demand defeat. Instead, the media reports meaningless drivel, politicing, promises, compromises, party squabbles and leaves out the substance of this incredibly bad hostile takeover of your doctor's office, complete with end-your-life paperwork issued by bureaucrats, denial of service, strict rationing, cash penalties for selecting your own doctors or treatment. Gun-Rights Linkage: With this much total control over your medical and financial records, there's a very short step between automated analysis of your "fitness" to keep and bear arms, and the various prohibited-possessor lists the government is keeping and recommending. That's just my idle observation, the bill does not explicitly address it in any way.   The lames

“Big Government distracts us the most important job of the government – protecting us” Michael D. Tanner “Liberty in the United State will never be reestablished so long as elites and masses alike look to the president to perform supernatural feats and therefore tolerate a virtual unlimited exercise of presidential power.  Until we can restore limited, constitutional government in this country, God save us from great presidents.” Robert Higgs “The mounting burden of taxation not only undermines individual incentives to increased work and earnings, but in a score of ways discourages capital accumulation and distorts, unbalances, and shrinks production.”  Henry Hazlitt“The more power government has to provide things, the more power it has to dictate terms.” Sheldon Richman   “In a market, goods and services are exchanged through a myriad complex of voluntary transactions, each made to the mutual benefit of those engaging in the transaction.  The costs

This case outraged many rights activists, and alerted the state to the tyrannical changes that had been quietly made to self-defense law in Arizona. It also provided significant motivation for legislative changes that brought about the Castle Doctrine law, and a reversal of the corrupted burden of proof process, to the proper status it has today. Unfortunately for Mr. Fish, he suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune through no intention of his own. He merely acted to protect himself against a violent attack in the wilderness.

The Arizona Court of Appeals has thrown out the conviction of Harold Fish and chastised the judge who tried the case. Mr. Fish has been released from custody into his family's joyfully waiting arms, while he awaits final resolution of his case.   Fish was the retired school teacher who shot a man who charged at him swinging his arms and yelling threats in a forest outside of Payson. Fish was convicted of second degree murder in 2006, in a trial many thought was grossly unfair, and has spent the intervening three years in an Arizona state prison. He had no prior criminal record of any kind. The Appeals Court ruled, among other things, that Fish should have been allowed to introduce evidence of his homeless attacker's violent past and the vicious histories of the man's dogs which triggered the event.   The case was tried under an old abusive standard, quietly slipped into law without review in 1996 by state prosecutors. This forced a self-defense c

“When the government tries to make people more equal, it makes them more unequal.”  James Cook   “The first lesson which we meet again and again in history, is that once the dole or similar relief program are introduced, they seem almost inevitably – unless surrounded by rigid restrictions – to get out of hand.  The second lesson is that one this happens the poor become more numerous and worse off then they were before, not only because the have lost self reliance, but because the sources of wealth and production on which they depend for either their doles or jobs are diminished or destroyed.”  Henry Hazlitt
