Greatest threat to your freedom

What is the greatest threat to your freedom? Look around you. Who has power over you? Pretty obvious isn't it!
Government threatens your freedom and liberty. They have standing armies and police forces that will jail you or kill you at their whim. There is no need to do anything wrong to get yourself thrown in jail or killed by the these thugs. Your very existence is reason enough for them. You see the goal of all government is to control it's subjects. The ways we are controlled are endless.
The main three are as follows:
1. Force. They use force or threat of force to scare you into submission. Do what they say or they will destroy you.
2. Fiat money. they force you to use their corrupt, baseless, valueless money
which they control and derive the greatest benefit from.
2. Tax. Taxes are not about obtaining revenue they are all about manipulation and control. They use taxes to force you to do what they want and to prevent or punish you from doing things they don't want you to do. Taxes give politicians the power to pay back their supporters(handlers and controllers) by giving them special breaks whereby they reap billions in ill-gotten gains subverting the free market. They double and triple tax your earnings and then steal even more through inflation.
They create disinformation to create fear of nonexistent threats and then use that fear to steal even more of you money and more of your liberties.
They manipulate the markets and force you to stay invested by creating huge penalties which stop you from withdrawing your money. They limit the things you can invest in according to their whims. Yes, I am talking about ira's, 401k's etc. Whose money is it anyways? Wait til they nationalize all ira's for your own good.
Who can take away your house, your car, your life with impunity? Government is the problem not the solution!
Tell this young girl she shouldn't be afraid of gov't.

punk cop beats on teenage girl

If a cop did this to my daughter I would hunt him down and mete out my own form of justice. Watching this sickens and infuriates me. It is time we take back our rights and our liberties which we are losing at an ever increasing rate.

Thomas Jefferson: "... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

I see a lot of tyrants out there. Not to many patriots who are willing to risk their own blood.

Grinning Fools!

Last night I watched about 20 minutes of the presidential address to congress. My main thought during the whole time I watched was it sure would be wonderful if North Korea or Iran dropped a bomb on the place. Eliminate all those parasites in one fell swoop.
Just watching all those grinning fools clapping every time Obama said the government was going to be bigger, more powerful, more oppressive and more intrusive made me sick.
This country is nothing but a shadow of what it once was. Freedom and liberty are nothing but words which have no meaning. It won't be much longer until we are completely overcome by darkness. The only hope is that they bankrupt us a nation sooner than later, the people get angry enough and rise up and destroy these viruses. Then maybe there will be enough of our heritage left to return to our roots and right this sinking ship.

3.5 million new jobs!!!

Let's run the numbers on this grand promise by the new administration. 787 billion "stimulus" just passed with much hoopla. So what do we get if we divide 787 billion by 3.5 million? $224,867 per job!!!! Do you think anybody who get's one of these government created jobs will be earning $224k per year? of course not. Maybe 40k which is about the average wage these days, if you have a job that is. So where does the other 180k per job go? Sure seems like sound economics to me. Spend almost a quarter of a million dollars so somebody can have a make work job and earn 40k. I'm
sure we are headed for great economic times now.
Oh yeah, remember the stimulus package last year? 160 billion handed out to everybody that we borrowed from China and Japan? We were told that would create 400,000 new jobs by our super smart leaders who came up with the plan.
How did that work out?
Why do we let these pinheads continue to treat us like children and continue
to rob us blind? They are inept, incompetent, ignorant and worst of all completely corrupt. Time to clean house and throw all the bums out by whatever means necessary.
Isn't it interesting how gold and silver keep rising in the face of all these
grand new plans to turn things around? Obviously there are a few skeptics out
there who doubt the abilities of our elected financial geniuses. I know where
I am placing my confidence- Solar power, food, guns and ammo and gold and
silver.
Makes no sense to continue to believe the liars who created the problems in
the first place. That defies all right reason.

Property taxes are evil

What is the purpose of taxation? I bet you think it is to allow government to obtain money to provide it's vital and needed functions. Right?
WRONG! Taxes are used to control you. Government's primary function as it currently exists is to make you do what the people in power want and to prevent you from doing what they don't want you to do. Control is the goal.
It seems to be working pretty well too if you stop and think about it.
I hate taxes because the government takes from me what I have worked for, by threat of force or actual force if I resist being robbed and gives it to somebody else. Government can only give to one what it takes from another. Now if I did that I would be guilty of a felony. If I decided you had a nicer house than me and I wanted it and tried to take it I would very likely end up in jail. However if government takes a fancy to your house and decided to take it you will likely end up homeless.
One of the ways government takes your home(not really yours) is through property taxes. Property taxes are assessed yearly upon the value of your home according to whatever they say it is worth. Currently mine is assessed at about 50,000 more than it is worth on the market. So they say to me, "Mr. Smith, we will let you live in your house one more year if you pay us 2% of what we say it is worth which is more like 3%." Now I have two options; I can agree to be extorted or not. Now realize I bought this house with money I earned and saved after paying income taxes on it. I don't have a mortgage but I will be forced to pay property taxes as long as I "own" it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that I am not the real owner of my home; the government is. And if I live there long enough I will pay them more than the cost of the house in extortion fees.
Now tell me how that isn't evil.
Oh you say, "But Mr. Smith, look at all the benefits you receive from the
city. You have nice roads(the city didn't put them in), schools (I homeschool), police protection(I have a gun), fire protection(I have insurance), parks(hate parks and the city is currently building a 7 million dollar little league park which neither I or my family will ever use.), etc."
If property taxes were only about collecting funds to meet the cost of needed services a sales tax or user fee would accomplish exactly the same purpose and would allow me to actually own my home instead of lease it in perpetuity from the government.

Gold

Here are some interesting Gold facts:
In 2001, it was estimated that all the Gold ever mined totaled 213,113 tons or 5,114,724,475 oz. 5 billion oz or less than the amount needed for each person living on the earth to have a single oz.
One ton of Gold at todays price($950) equals $22,800,000.
So all the Gold in the world(2001) is worth about 4,858,988,251,250.
Just under 5 trillion dollars. And how much has our wonderful, honest
government magicked up recently? Double that. And this isn't
inflationary how?
When the U.S., under our brilliant leader nixon, took us off the gold standard on August 15, 1971 the price of gold had been fixed at $35 per oz. From that day on the u.s. dollar was pegged to nothing of real value and currency inflation began with a vengeance. On August 15, 1971 the Dow Jones index was at 856. At that time the Dow/Gold ration was 24 to 1.
Today the Dow is at 7765 and Gold is at $950. The ratio is 8 to 1!
Now given that ratio would you have been better off buying gold at $35 or the dow at 856?
What do you think the next few years will bring? My guess is a 1 to 1 ratio will come about long before a return to a 24 to 1 ratio(never).
So who should you trust with your money? Your oppressive, corrupt, violent government or Gold?
Hint: there is only one right answer.
Maybe next time I will discuss silver which I believe is a superior investment even to gold.

Convert now. You won't regret it.

Do you have a gun?

I am sure many who read this will disagree with this statement:
If you don't own a firearm and aren't competent with it you are an irresponsible person.
Here is my evidence to support that statement:
We live in a violent world and there are many people who would harm you and steal your property if they could do so with impunity. That is a fact.
If you value your life and your property it stands to reason you should defend them.
Irresponsible people shift that defense onto others. Hence the "need" for government, never-ending laws and armed enforcers called police.
We as created humans have the inalienable right to defend our lives and
our property which sustain life. We also have a duty to protect those rights.
The most honest, responsible way to carry out our duty to protect our rights is to do it personally. If you are personally responsible for defending your rights you use reason and logic to figure out how to best accomplish that goal. What if any tools are available that you can use to further that goal?
In terms of self-defense of your person there is one tool that stands above all others; a firearm.
A firearm is cheap, readily attainable, portable and supremely effective. it doesn't take much practice to become very competent in its use. It is the greatest equalizer that exists in the world today. A 94 year old woman in a wheelchair is superior to a 250 lb thug, when she is armed with a firearm. In fact she would have the upper hand confronted with multiple attackers. No other tool could give her the same advantage. Even if they are armed she still is equal to them as strength is not a factor in properly using a firearm.
Anyone who chooses to not arm themselves in defense of their life or property has become a burden on society and is part of the problem. They shift responsibility to others to safeguard them. That is the epitome of irresponsibility.

Got Gold?

If you have any wealth at this point that you would like to keep the time has come to buy physical gold and silver and take possession of it. If you buy enough buy a big safe and keep it in there. I wouldn't put it in a safe deposit box because you could find you get denied access.
The government is penalizing you if you want to save money. Think about it. What is the stated government inflation rate for 2008? 2.7%. And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Anyway taking their number how much do you get paid in interest in a bank account to save? National average in a "savings account" is .31%. So if I had 250,000 and put it in a savings account which is supposedly safe and insured, what would I have a year later in actual buying power?
250,000 x .31% = $775.00. That would be my gain after 1 year.
Now for inflation hit- $250,000 x 2.7% = ($6750)
At current stated rate of inflation I would lose $5975 in buying power.
So best case scenario I lose almost $6,000 for my effort to be frugal and save.
Great deal, huh.
And don't you think with the trillions of new money being created inflation just might go up a bit? Maybe a lot?
Don't you think it might be wise to convert your paper to gold and silver.
Don't know anybody in the world who can print gold and silver out of thin air, do you?
By the way it is in increasingly short supply as other people start to realize this too. Don't be the last sucker holding the proverbial bag. Fiat money and the dollar are toast. It will just take awhile for the masses to get it.
Make sure you buy some food and water first and then gold and silver.
