Who Won and Lost in the Bubble
It has been over a decade since the Greenspan Fed went full throttle, while other policy makers subsequently went hog wild. Maybe it is time to examine the net results. There were few big winners. Ironically, none of the big winners were directly related to physical real estate investments. The big winnings came not only … Continue reading

I’d like to put to rest one of the greatest liberal myths with a bit of sound reasoning and basic economics. The myth goes like this. Taxation and government welfare are a good thing because they help the needy and anyone who disagrees obviously has no compassion for the less fortunate. Those who call for … Continue reading
The Fifth Amendment states: No person shall…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law… What does the “due process of law” really mean? What ever it is, it is the thing that allows the government to deny the individual of life, liberty, and property. As such, I feel compelled to understand … Continue reading
Despite claims that the Administration and Congress saved America from the fiscal cliff with an early morning vote today, the fact is that government spending has already pushed Americans over the cliff. Only serious reductions in federal spending will stop the cliff dive from ending in a crash landing, yet the events of this past … Continue reading
Over the past couple days I’ve been reading and researching MK Ultra. This has lead me to uncover some very disturbing stories regarding government sponsored mind control. There is a war on for your mind. I knew that before, but it’s more evident and more sinister than I had imagined. I urge you to do … Continue reading
The senseless and horrific killings last week in Newtown, Connecticut reminded us that a determined individual or group of individuals can cause great harm no matter what laws are in place. Connecticut already has restrictive gun laws relative to other states, including restrictions on fully automatic, so-called “assault” rifles and gun-free zones. Predictably, the political … Continue reading
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about guns. I hope by writing some things down someone might be able to make some sense of what is going on in our world. It is immoral to employ force or the threat of force to deny a person the ability to decide for themselves what they require … Continue reading
It seems like people who place government officials on a pedestal are much more likely to call on them to do the impossible. In the face of tragedy, for example, they might plead with government officials to do more to protect them from other people who might do bad things. Of course every individual has … Continue reading
For anyone yet stewing over Obama’s win, thinking, oh it could have been so different… Mitt Romney’s former economic adviser Glenn Hubbard published an op-ed in the Financial Times Tuesday calling for higher tax rates on the wealthy and other taxes beyond that. He wrote: What should those negotiating the fiscal cliff do? The first … Continue reading
Sanctions are an act of war. Watch this 2 minute video called Sanctions: more deadly than the atomic bomb.
Tonight on Market Place on NPR, I heard a story about the most amusing conundrum government is faced with as a result of Obama Care’s forthcoming insurance mandate. As I’m sure you are aware, in another year, states or the federal government will be setting up exchanges where people who do not have health insurance … Continue reading
If negative global climate change is caused by man then man could conceivably have the power to alter climate to his liking. Of course that would require men (or at least a man) who knows what temperature is best at any given point in time at every point on earth. To know that would require … Continue reading
On Friday, Cook County commissioners approved a $25 tax (called the “violence tax”) on every gun purchased in the county to offset health care and other costs of gun violence. Board President, Toni Preckwinkle said, “The average shooting victim costs taxpayers $52,000 in acute care because nearly 70 percent of the victims don’t have health … Continue reading
Televised and published pictures plus personal appeals of Hurricane Sandy victims in New York and New Jersey touched the hearts of Shelter Islanders who generously filled truckloads of clothing and other goods bound for Island Park and Long Beach last week. But the word from the Federal Emergency Management Agency now is “stop.” It’s not … Continue reading
The average man has virtually no real control over his life in modern America. He must Submit and Obey at every turn, from the moment he awakes to the moment he lays his head down on the pillow at night. He must never raise his voice, at work or in public. He must avoid confrontation at all costs. (This lesson, in particular, is really being hammered home to today’s boys – who are told in no uncertain terms by the authorities that they cannot even defend themselves when attacked by a bully. And the boys’ fathers are told they must teach them to accept this.) Continue reading
I wish people would stop saying, “the government needs to do something about this economy.” Government does not create jobs no matter what party is in office. The only way government can create jobs is by directly employing someone, like teachers, police, firemen, and politicians. So in theory the government could just give everyone who … Continue reading
Government isn’t the solution. It is the problem. Liberty = Prosperity. There is no brand or party that can stand against a people committed to freedom. Romney or Obama, the fight is the same – government force and coercion vs individual liberty. If your sad or happy tonight its evidence of an underlying love of … Continue reading
State primary elections in the United States are used to narrow the field of candidates for the general election. They originated out of the progressive movement to take the power of candidate nomination from party leaders to the people. There are several types of primaries which states have used over the years; open, closed, semi-open, … Continue reading
The Constitution was written to be a simple document that any common man could read, understand and debate openly. Sadly, today, it is believed by many that in order to correctly interpret it, one requires the aid of lawyers. Although establishing a more powerful central government was vigorously contested by some at the time, once … Continue reading
If I’ve learned one thing over the past year as I’ve watched the Republican nominating process unfold, it’s that our “choice” is an illusion. In light of the facts surrounding Mitt Romney’s nomination at the Republican National Convention, I’m left questioning everything I thought I knew about American Democracy. The Facts Updated: September 22, 2012 … Continue reading
