Time to Cut the Cord

It's Tea Time.

Source

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we finished our podcast for Forward Observer magazine this week, Sam Culper scheduled a follow up meeting in December for another podcast. The topic will be “Cutting the Cord”. Until you realize that a paradigm shift in required to secure your future, you will be enslaved. Cutting the cord is this paradigm shift. Eliminating all forms of dependence may be an obvious solution to regaining freedom, but you must first recognize that you are enslaved.

1. Voting for politicians who have created the problems we face will never solve those problems. It is in their interests to literally crush us with taxes, regulations and laws.

2. Obeying the law is only applicable in a country which has the rule of law, applies it equally and does not pass legislation to make criminals out of people. We no longer live in such a country which no longer has the rule of law. Conscientious objection and gray man tactics must be part of our life: an unConstitutional or unjust law must be disobeyed.

3. Become self reliant in all aspects of your life: monetary needs, food, housing and clothing. I know it is hard. Receiving any form of government assistance will only have disastrous consequences in the future.

4. Learn skill sets that our forefathers knew and master them.

5. The pResident rewards illegal aliens. I understand his rhetoric that they must pay “taxes” but the reality is that they do not. Citizens work and pay “tribute” to the government. If the underground economic system is not paying their “fair share”, neither should we. Be creative, be gray.

Ann Barnhardt on the Law

It occurred to me that perhaps a way to describe the Law, and the reason why Our Lord says, “If you love Me, keep My Commandments”, is this:  The Law simply tells us how NOT TO HURT GOD.

Every single item of the Law, every single sin could fit into this formula:

If you do ______________, it will hurt Me.

If you don’t love Me, it will hurt Me.
If you don’t go to Mass, it will hurt Me.
If you have sex outside of marriage, it will hurt Me.
If you lie, it will hurt Me.
If you steal, it will hurt Me.
If you don’t forgive your enemies, it will hurt Me.
If you are indifferent to the eternal fate of others’ souls, it will hurt Me.

The Law is simply God telling us the things that we do that HURT HIM.  And isn’t that what we are supposed to do with each other?  If we have a friend or family member or spouse that is hurting us, aren’t we supposed to tell them?  And if we are hurting in some way someone we love – even if inadvertently or through ignorance – shouldn’t we WANT to know so that we can stop hurting them?  How then could God, our Tremendous Lover, NOT tell us the things that we do that hurt Him?  And how could we possibly, possibly ignore Him?

Helicopter money

Periodically articles appear advocating, or discussing, helicopter money. Here is a simple guide to this strange sounding concept. I go in descending order of importance, covering the essential ground in points 1-7, and dealing with more esoteric matters after that.

  1. Helicopter money is a form of fiscal stimulus. The original Friedman thought experiment involved the central bank distributing money by helicopter, but the real world counterpart to that is a tax cut of some form.
  2. What makes helicopter money different from a conventional tax cut is that helicopter money is paid for by the central bank printing money, rather than the government issuing debt.
  3. The central bank printing money is nothing new: Quantitative Easing (QE) involves the central bank creating reserves and using them to buy financial assets – mainly government debt. As a result, helicopter money is actually the combination of two very familiar policies: QE coupled with a tax cut. Another way of thinking about it: instead of using money to buy assets (QE alone), the central bank gives it away to people. If you think intuitively that this would be a better use of the money as a means of stimulating the economy, I think you are right.
  4. Is it exactly the same as a conventional tax cut plus QE? A conventional tax cut would involve the government creating more debt, which the central bank would then buy under QE. With helicopter money no additional government debt would be created. But is government debt held by the central bank, where the central bank pays back to the Treasury the interest it receives on this debt, really government debt in anything more than name only? The answer would appear to be yes, because the central bank could decide to sell the debt, in which case it would revert back to being normal government debt.
  5. However at this point we have to ask what the aim of the central bank is. Suppose the central bank has an inflation target. It achieves that target by changing interest rates, which it can either control (at the short end) or influence (at the long end) by buying or selling assets of various kinds. So central bank decisions about buying and selling government debt are determined by the need to hit the inflation target. Given this, whether money is created by buying government debt (through QE) which finances the tax cut or by financing the tax cut directly seems immaterial, because decisions about how much money gets created in the long run are determined by the need to hit the inflation target.

“The Constitution went on hiatus last night”

I heard a portion of this on the radio and watched it again when I got home on TheBlaze. The clip is now out on GlennBeck.com. Worth watching.

An Enslaved People Cannot Claim Their Rights

See additional comments on Tea Party Nation.

A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.

Thomas Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If Thomas Jefferson was correct, what has happened to the people of this country? pResident Obama does not dictate our rights as “chief magistrate”. And he has no authority to claim our natural law rights as a gift from him. This is not a point of discussion: it is a fact.

A king without subjects is not a king. When I declare that Obama is not my President, it means something. But its meaning is not enough to cause a change in the state of our Liberty. Unless more people stand up for their convictions. What kind of people do not stand up for their rights? We saw the consequences of apathy and fear throughout history. Stalin, Hitler and Mao should be more than enough for us to realize what is at stake. But few people are willing to take their Sacred honor, stand up and do their duty to their country and their God.

Until when?

The borders are not secure from illegal aliens, terrorists or disease. The nation is bankrupt ten times (minimum) of our annual GDP. We sacrifice the lives of our children in wars to promote Islam. Our government illegally wiretaps everyone but the Republican party stopped the debate on legislation in the Senate to start limiting the NSA. The number of scandals under this administration continue to grow.

I could add to this list but to what purpose? Can you imagine trying to explain the state of our government to any of the founding fathers? Can you imagine the disgust that we would evoke in their eyes by our apathy?

The people in this country will awake in mass at some point. When that dam breaks and the floodgates are opened, will we act with Sacred honor or with retribution? We are enslaved and do not have the rule of law in this country. President Jefferson’s statement is true but so is the converse:

An enslaved people cannot claim their rights as derived from the laws of nature, they can only receive what rights are bestowed upon them by their slave owners. We know this to be self evident. We know that our children are enslaved by our inaction. We know that change is coming: but it will not be peaceful and it will not be over quickly.

Options?

Trust in the Lord with all Thine Heart. Prepare. Love your children enough to free them.

North Korea Conducts Ejection Test of Sub-Launched Missile

AP

North Korea recently conducted a test of an ejection launcher that U.S. intelligence agencies assess is part of Pyongyang’s recently discovered submarine-launched ballistic missile program.

The test simulated the initial stage of boosting a missile out of a submarine launch tube and is a sign that the rogue state is moving ahead with plans for underwater missile strike capabilities for a future nuclear-tipped missile, said defense officials.

U.S. intelligence agencies observed the land-based test of the ejection launcher in late October at a facility known to be a key development center for the communist state’s submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) program, according to two officials with access to intelligence reports.

The launcher also could be used by North Korea to launch ballistic or cruise missiles from the deck of a freighter or other kinds of surface vessels.

A CRASH IN THE MOJAVE

Police power is the foundation of the state

forked tongue

“Government is not reason; it’s not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it’s a dangerous servant and a fearful master…” — George Washington

If there are two words in the English language that we need to understand, they are the words “police power.”

Government is police power. Government by definition, by nature, by history and by practical existence is police power. Government would not and could not exist without police power. When governments lose their police power, they collapse.

Every act of government and its politicians is motivated by its police power. Government police power is awesome, and it is a hush-hush subject.

Let’s look at the sixth edition of “Black’s Law Dictionary,” which defines police power as: “The power of the state to place restraints on the personal freedom and property rights of persons for the protection of the public safety, health and morals or the promotion of the public convenience and general prosperity. The police power is subject to limitations of the federal and state constitutions, and especially to the requirements of due process. Police power is the exercise of the sovereign right of a government to promote order, safety, security, health, morals and general welfare within constitutional limits and is an essential attribute of government.” Marshall v. Kansas City, MO. 355 SW 2nd 877,883.

Gold Repatriation Stunner: Dutch Central Bank Secretly Withdrew 122 Tons Of Gold From The New York Fed

A week ago, we penned “The Real Reason Why Germany Halted Its Gold Repatriation From The NY Fed“, in which we got, for the first time ever, an admission by an official source, namely the bank that knows everything that takes place in Germany – Deutsche Bank – what the real reason was for Germany’s gold repatriation halt after obtaining a meager 5 tons from the NY Fed:

… the gold community paid great attention to the decision of the German Bundesbank to “bring German gold home”. At the beginning of 2013, the Bundesbank announced it would repatriate 300 tonnes of gold stored in the US by 2020. It is well behind schedule, citing logistical difficulties. Yet diplomatic difficulties are more likely to be the chief cause of the delay, especially seeing as the Bundesbank has proven its capacity to organise large-scale gold transports. In the early 2000s, the Bundesbank incrementally repatriated 930 tonnes of German gold held by the Bank of England.

Some took offense with this, pointing out, accurately, that the gold held at the NY Fed in deposit form for foreign institutions had continued to decline into 2014 despite the alleged German halt. Well, today we know the answer: it wasn’t Germany who was secretly withdrawing gold from the NYFed contrary to what it had publicly disclosed.  

It was the Netherlands.

The New Segregationists: Eye On Ferguson

by Francis Porretto

I’m not thinking near-term here; I fear a genuine campaign of genocide by American Caucasians against American Negroes. There’s no way to know in advance how much violence and lawlessness would be required to trigger such a reaction. Nevertheless, I maintain that the train of reasoning in the previous section is sound; there is a threshold which, if crossed, will evoke outright genocide. If that should come to pass, who would be more to blame than Leftist luminaries Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and the “unofficial” race-hustlers stoking the fires in Ferguson, Missouri?

 


The Left is heavily invested in victimism: broadly speaking, the proposition that all of us are either oppressors or oppressed, and that the former owe the latter an unlimited debt. In no case are they more relentlessly strident than in matters of race relations. Thus, it should surprise no one that prominent leftist voices have been egging on the “protestors” in Ferguson, edging asymptotically close to condoning violence and looting, while ceaselessly insisting that the fault for any such occurrences would belong, not to the “protestors,” but to the rest of us for “not doing justice for Michael Brown.”
