Sometimes It Is Not Enough To Do Our Best We Must Do What Is Required

Winston Churchill Making a Victory Sign

As we Paul supporters have failed so far to rack-up a victory in the primary or caucus beauty contests, I have started noticing that some are considering giving in to defeatism. That is not worthy of Dr. Paul or our cause – and Winston Churchill will show you why.

In 1940, during the Second World War, Hitler’s tyranny had already swept across all of Europe. The score was liberty – zero; tyranny – too many to count. Only Britain was left standing. And Hitler was coming for us.

Dodd’s Financial “Reform” Bill Is Nothing but a Placebo for a Very Sick Economy

hat tip: Washington’s blog
Monday, March 29, 2010

On March 3rd, Richard Fisher – President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas – told the Council on Foreign Relations:

A truly effective restructuring of our regulatory regime will have to neutralize what I consider to be the greatest threat to our financial system’s stability—the so-called too-big-to-fail, or TBTF, banks. In the past two decades, the biggest banks have grown significantly bigger. In 1990, the 10 largest U.S. banks had almost 25 percent of the industry’s assets. Their share grew to 44 percent in 2000 and almost 60 percent in 2009.

The existing rules and oversight are not up to the acute regulatory challenge imposed by the biggest banks. First, they are sprawling and complex—so vast that their own management teams may not fully understand their own risk exposures. If that is so, it would be futile to expect that their regulators and creditors could untangle all the threads, especially under rapidly changing market conditions. Second, big banks may believe they can act recklessly without fear of paying the ultimate penalty. They and many of their creditors assume the Fed and other government agencies will cushion the fall and assume the damages, even if their troubles stem from negligence or trickery. They have only to look to recent experience to confirm that assumption.

Some argue that bigness is not bad, per se. Many ask how the U.S. can keep its competitive edge on the global stage if we cede LFI territory to other nations—an argument I consider hollow given the experience of the Japanese and others who came to regret seeking the distinction of having the world’s biggest financial institutions. I know this much: Big banks interact with the economy and financial markets in a multitude of ways, creating connections that transcend the limits of industry and geography. Because of their deep and wide connections to other banks and financial institutions, a few really big banks can send tidal waves of troubles through the financial system if they falter, leading to a downward spiral of bad loans and contracting credit that destroys many jobs and many businesses.

Environmental Terrorism

James Hanson

The United States has the equipment to use the earthquake for military and political purposes. Like a python in one’s yard with a dog-sized lump that distorts its slim shape, I cannot prove that the python ate my dog, but years of experience the world has had with pythons tells me the bulge explains the loss of my dog. Likewise, the world’s century of experience with man-caused earthquakes tells me that the bulge in this column of numbers explains the loss of man’s innocent relationship with Mother Nature.

Most people are unaware of the use of the earthquake as political messenger, or gun to the head as a threat or a punishment. It has the potential to destroy nations. It is only one element of what is called “weather warfare,” for the acculturation of which the U.S. and 74 other nations have ratified or acceded to ENMOD, a treaty which took effect on October 5, 1978 by which they undertake “not to engage in military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury to the other State Party.”

The signers knew this applied to earthquakes. Human causation of earthquakes has been part of the discussion for more than a century (of late silent), beginning with the 1896 quake engineered by the genius who started it all, Nikola Tesla, who destroyed his machine in panic because the building he occupied in New York City appeared about to shake itself apart.

Ancient Root of All Evil Bears Fruit With Fed

Andrew Carrington Hitchcock

Economists continually try and sell the public the idea that recessions or depressions are a natural part of what they call the “business cycle”. This timeline below will prove that is simply not the case. Recessions and depressions only occur because the Central Bankers manipulate the money supply, to ensure more and more is in their hands and less and less is in the hands of the people.

Central Bankers developed out of the ancient money changers and it is with these people we pick up the story.

48 B.C. Julius Caesar took back from the money changers the power to coin money and then minted coins for the benefit of all. With this new, plentiful supply of money, he established many massive construction projects and built great public works. By making money plentiful, Caesar won the love of the common people, but the money changers hated him for it and this is why Caesar was assassinated. Immediately after his assassination came the demise of plentiful money in Rome, taxes increased, as did corruption.
Eventually the Roman money supply was reduced by 90 per cent, which resulted in the common people losing their lands and homes.

30 A.D. Jesus Christ in the last year of his life uses physical force to throw the money changers out of the temple. This was the only time during the the life of his ministry in which he used physical force against anyone.
