'Democracy cannot survive'

Dan Rather came right out and said some truth!

Somebody's got to take a stand and say democracy cannot survive... with government interference in news

With all of whats going on right now, more and more people are waking up. There are always people waking up. There are still so many who need to be shaken out of their hypnotic state, and realize exactly what is happening to us. The globalists are in full control, and have just about derailed America. Our dollar is dropping at a stupendous rate. Oil price estimates surpass $200 by Q4 2008. The propaganda ministry cannot be trusted.
I'd like to think that everyone I know will wake up, and realize we have to take a stand. I don't feel that will happen. Most of us are wrapped up in our daily lives. Not that that is a bad thing, but we are doing so very blindly. We are so well conditioned, it's amazing! Most Americans don't know on what day 9/11 happend! Most Americans can't find Iraq or Iran on a world map! Most Americans don't know more than a couple state capitals! Ahh, but they damn well know who Homer Simpson's son is! Or who Stewie Griffin is.
I don't know why people do not want to know whats going on. Some people feel safe in their cocoons. They like seeing the world in their rose colored glasses. Maybe they feel insignificant to the cause. "What could I possibly do? I'm only one person. Besides this doesn't effect me in any way." WRONG. It will very much effect you sooner or later. And when it does, and these events come to fruition much to late to take action you wish you would have. Learn! Search through the web. Find multiple sources. I'm not saying you have to agree with me. Take some time to research our country, our government, the way things are ment to be. If you don't know these essentials, how do you know when you're being robed of them? How do you know if you're rights are being violated if you don't know your rights in the first place?
The police state is in place. Look deep into news articles and find about innocent people being tazered for no good reason. The most popular is Andrew Meyer. Watch the video of that. There are tons of these events unfolding. Even some of the cops are brainwashed.
I guess what I'm getting at is, just go out and do some research. Look at the whole picture here. Things are coming to a head. Thanks for taking your time to read this. Hopefully this is a first start for you, or just another article in your exploration of facts.

Mike Huckabee is a tool.

A must read article.

Thursday, Huckabee called Texas Rep. Paul's comments during the debate "ludicrous" and "unacceptable." The former Arkansas governor conflated a previous debate comment with Wednesday's debate to suggest that Paul blamed America for 9/11

Stupid in America

There is no question that American public schools are despicable. They're unionized monopolies. I also question their federal curriculum. Instead of going on about this, just watch the latest 20/20 report about the whole situation.

Little Update

Most of you know about Wikipedia. Basically, an ever growing encyclopedia which anyone can add to, or delete information. Now there are company's looking at their Wiki sites, and deleting "negative" information. Disney is one. And guess who another is? Diebold! Hm! I found that absolutely great! An excerpt from Techdirt:

This will probably come as a surprise to absolutely no one, but a new Wikipedia scanner service is matching the IP address of Wikipedia edits to the organizations the IPs are associated with -- and it's turning up some interesting matches. For example, there's the person coming from a Diebold IP who deleted paragraphs and paragraphs of Wikipedia content that highlighted Diebold's ongoing security problems. Then there's the Disney employee who tried to pull a link to Cory Doctorow's speech on why DRM is bad for business from the DRM entry. Wired is actually keeping a running tally of some of the most interesting edits. Now, before people use this as more evidence as to Wikipedia's trust problems, it doesn't look like those edits did much damage, as they were quickly changed back to the more appropriate entries by those watching out for vandalism.

Wired is actually keeping track of who is editing what. Go check it out! Thought it was worth posting, considering yesterdays post about the Iowa Straw Poll and faulty Diebold machines.

Voter Fraud

Well, Ron Paul came in 5th at the Iowa Straw Poll. Not bad, and also in my eyes, not real great. For those of you who don't know, the Iowa Straw Poll is basically a mock vote. Doesn't count for anything. I think it's mostly used for fund raising, and getting their word out. Of course the Ron Paul supporters were very disappointed (as was I). Something did come up though, a couple of the diebold machines malfunctioned. Which diebold machines a notorious for doing. I mean just do a google search for diebold malfunction and you'll see what I'm talking about. These things are highly unrelyable. However, at least they still have a paper trail. So they tallied up the paper votes. Guess who was in charge of that? Apparently it was one of Mitt Romney's campaign staff (specifically Romney for President Leadership Team)! Now, is that conflict of interest or is it just me?
Also, theres some issues with the attendees of the Iowa Straw Poll. According to "WhatReallyHappended.com" 26,000 Tickets were sold and only 14,302 votes were counted. As Mr. Rivero put it,

" Now think about that for a minute. 26,000 people purchase tickets to go to a Straw Poll event, and yet we are to believe that 12,000 of those people couldn’t even care less about the voting part? Just what were they there for?

I don't buy it. This is not believable. An Investigation is needed here.
I don't need an investigation."

I think there should be an in depth look into this. Nothing terribly drastic. One of Ron Paul's supporters actually threatened to sue! I don't think it should come to that. Nonetheless action should be taken.

China Owns America

It's as simple as that.

Uncle Sam, Your Banker Will See You Now

By Paul Craig Roberts

08/08/07 "ICH" --- - Early this morning China let the idiots in Washington, and on Wall Street, know that it has them by the short hairs. Two senior spokesmen for the Chinese government observed that China’s considerable holdings of US dollars and Treasury bonds “contributes a great deal to maintaining the position of the dollar as a reserve currency.”

Should the US proceed with sanctions intended to cause the Chinese currency to appreciate, “the Chinese central bank will be forced to sell dollars, which might lead to a mass depreciation of the dollar.”

If Western financial markets are sufficiently intelligent to comprehend the message, US interest rates will rise regardless of any further action by China. At this point, China does not need to sell a single bond. In an instant, China has made it clear that US interest rates depend on China, not on the Federal Reserve.

The precarious position of the US dollar as reserve currency has been thoroughly ignored and denied. The delusion that the US is “the world’s sole superpower,” whose currency is desirable regardless of its excess supply, reflects American hubris, not reality. This hubris is so extreme that only 6 weeks ago McKinsey Global Institute published a study that concluded that even a doubling of the US current account deficit to $1.6 trillion would pose no problem.

Strategic thinkers, if any remain who have not been purged by neocons, will quickly conclude that China’s power over the value of the dollar and US interest rates also gives China power over US foreign policy. The US was able to attack Afghanistan and Iraq only because China provided the largest part of the financing for Bush’s wars.

If China ceased to buy US Treasuries, Bush’s wars would end. The savings rate of US consumers is essentially zero, and several million are afflicted with mortgages that they cannot afford. With Bush’s budget in deficit and with no room in the US consumer’s budget for a tax increase, Bush’s wars can only be financed by foreigners.

No country on earth, except for Israel, supports the Bush regimes’ desire to attack Iran. It is China’s decision whether it calls in the US ambassador, and delivers the message that there will be no attack on Iran or further war unless the US is prepared to buy back $900 billion in US Treasury bonds and other dollar assets.

The US, of course, has no foreign reserves with which to make the purchase. The impact of such a large sale on US interest rates would wreck the US economy and effectively end Bush’s war-making capability. Moreover, other governments would likely follow the Chinese lead, as the main support for the US dollar has been China’s willingness to accumulate them. If the largest holder dumped the dollar, other countries would dump dollars, too.

The value and purchasing power of the US dollar would fall. When hard-pressed Americans went to Wal-Mart to make their purchases, the new prices would make them think they had wandered into Nieman Marcus. Americans would not be able to maintain their current living standard.

Simultaneously, Americans would be hit either with tax increases in order to close a budget deficit that foreigners will no longer finance or with large cuts in income security programs. The only other source of budgetary finance would be for the government to print money to pay its bills. In this event, Americans would experience inflation in addition to higher prices from dollar devaluation.

This is a grim outlook. We got in this position because our leaders are ignorant fools. So are our economists, many of whom are paid shills for some interest group. So are our corporate leaders whose greed gave China power over the US by offshoring the US production of goods and services to China. It was the corporate fat cats who turned US Gross Domestic Product into Chinese imports, and it was the “free trade, free market economists” who egged it on.

How did a people as stupid as Americans get so full of hubris?

Great interview with 9/11 Fireman

Give this a watch. It's 45min, kinda long for most people, I know, but it cuts through the bullshit and comes from someone who was there. Any interview from the firemen that were at ground zero are great to watch.
