1. The rule of simplification: reducing all data to a simple confrontation between 'Good and Bad', 'Friend and Foe'.

2. The rule of disfiguration: discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies.

3 The rule of transfusion: manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one's own ends.

4 The rule of unanimity: presenting one's viewpoint as if it were the unanimous opinion of all right-thinking people: draining the doubting individual into agreement by the appeal of star-performers, by social pressure, and by 'psychological contagion'.

5 The rule of orchestration: endlessly repeating the same messages in different variations and combinations.]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:37:42 -0400

How true. No one seems to have the guts to challenge the foundation of the problem and admit the magnitude of the betrayal we are dealing with. My father helped put a man on the moon but my mom was the smart one. She taught me to always find the root cause of the problem and just when you think you’ve found it, keep looking because it might turn out to be something you didn’t expect or want to admit. The struggle of western civilization against the tyranny of central bankers is long and bloody. The bankers finally won that struggle when the federal reserve was swindled in to existence in 1913.]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:46:48 -0400

There can’t be “value investing” with a fiat currency. Fiat currencies are no more than Ponzi schemes so any economic activity based on it is also a Ponzi scheme. Besides, I would think that earnings are at least as important as price and earnings reports can no longer be trusted because GAAP have been rescinded.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:25:28 -0400

Gold and silver are the ultimate power to the people and without it, they can never be free. Big banking, big government, and big military are the only benefactors of fiat paper until it collapses. Scarcity is exactly why metals are a great store of value that can’t be manipulated except by fraud. In addition, metals appreciate over time which makes them a great personal investment for the little guy. Imagine how great it would be to save a little gold when you are 20 and have it be worth more when you are 40. Instead, you make some fiat currency when you are 20 and it’s worth half when you hit 40. It’s impossible for the little guy to get ahead unless he risks his currency at some wall street churn mill.
Every civilization evolves from sound money and every civilization collapses when some parasitic government comes along and institutes a fiat currency. The framers understood these simple concepts very well which is why gold was codified in the constitution. Hating central bankers is as American as apple pie.]]> Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:54:20 -0400 When you hold a gold or silver coin in your hand, you decide exactly how much its worth, not some central authority.

Get physical gold and silver back in the hands of the people.
Abolish the Fed
Abolish the IRS
Abolish fractional reserve banking
Allow people to loan(risk) their own money, not the banks.
Limit interest rates to 5% max, 10 year max term.
Abolish shadow banking, shadow trading, shadow government]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:06:36 -0400 Here are a few of my standing proposals to get back on track.
