Obama's War Against the Free Press Gets Creepier - Hit & Run : Reason.com

The government is is exploring and potentially utilizing new methods to control the people by controlling the press....

the theory that soliciting information can be criminal is apparently now ready for application against the mainstream press. We already know that the president explicitly considers freedom of the press to be only one consideration among several that have to be balanced, apparently according to the priorities of officials in his administration. He told us so just days ago, when asked about the government's treatment of the AP:

Of course, much of what has been known to have been done is against Fox News since the rest of them largely do exactly what the leviathan wants.

But how is that reporters asking questions, in this case State Department contacts asking about the situation in North Korea, illegal? Its quite a stretch to do this but this is where tyranny starts. We are seeing the loss of individual freedom in the US and it won't be pretty.

Obama's Legacy? Scandal - Brent Bozell - Page 1

Thought of the day....

If the media had acted like professionals in 2012, more of this new information would be old news by now. Voters could have made a decision between Obama and Romney with a fuller picture of how corrupt this administration truly is. By refusing to reveal that corruption, they brought that stain of corruption on themselves.

Legacy? What kind of legacy does am untalented self-obsessed buffoon leave? Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Benghazi, IRS targeting of citizens based on their political leanings, wire-tapping the press, voter fraud and intimidation intervention from the politicized Justice Department; the corruption is unbelievable. And how about the train wreck that Obamacare is becoming. An over-reach of government rights and abilities that hopefully will finally prove how incompetent government is on delivering economic services to the people. But like Benghazi, people will die due to this corrupt incompetence. But it won't be just 4 it will be thousands and thousands.

But the other crime is how compliant the media has been in supporting this idiot. The corrupt can be applied to their behavior over the pat several years. I believe that these people suspended ethics purely due to his skin color as no-one in the media with half-a-brain would ever have given this guy such a pass if he was white. Trust in the media is deservedly bad and trust in government is deservedly falling. I hope that the sheeple in the United States finally wake up to the disaster that they have allowed to happen. Honestly, these troubles could not hit a more deserving fellow!

Some Things To Consider About Benghazi - Derek Hunter - Page full

I think that Barack Obama thinks that he is the most important and above scrutiny person on the planet that is why....

Stonewalling and lying made political sense before the election, but why they’ve allowed these questions to remain unanswered and to grow and distract is the real mystery. The media seemed interested this week in finding out why and what the White House is hiding. We’ll see how long this interest lasts. Hopefully it’s long enough for the American people to find out the truth and the families of four American heroes killed in the line of duty to get the closure they deserve.

But the reality is he is and never wasn't even remotely prepared nor qualified to be President. But since he is considered racially Black, no one, particularly White people are allowed to question his motives and abilities. This is the quandary that we have gotten ourselves into. He allows things to happen to our nation and then blames it on others. except in this case, when the blame falls squarely on him, he is again incapable of dealing with reality.

Guest Post: Is Abenomics Going To Put Japan Back On The Map? | Zero Hedge

The idea that government can create prosperity out of thin air by either printing money or by taking money from one person to give to another is totally preposterous. Previous generations knew this and every time they tried it it ended in disaster. But this is what the world is banking on and since everyone now thinks that government is somehow God, they have a faith in government that it does not deserve. Japan will default on its government obligations and so will both the USA and Europe. Folks will wake up to that once Japan does and there will be no credit allowed back to the dumbass governments.....

Japan is making the same mistakes we’re making … or we’re making the same mistakes they’ve already made – it’s hard to tell.

Either way, the bottom line is pretty simple: You give me a trillion yen and I’ll give you a good time, too.

In order for Abenomics to work, four things have to happen:

Japanese banks cannot hoard money the way big banks have in the US. They have simply got to keep it moving right through to Japanese citizens and small local businesses.
Japanese bond market participants have to be willing to maintain bidding as the Bank of Japan conducts “market operations,” which is Fed-speak for interfering with normal pricing dynamics in an effort to maintain stability. If bidders walk away, the bond market will fail and the government will have to contend with offshore derivatives traders who are already lining up to play the same games they did in Italy, Spain, Greece, and the balance of the EU.
Japanese consumers have to engage. If wages fail to increase, living standards will decline and Abe will be up a creek without a paddle – and yes, I mean THAT creek.
The international banking community has to allow Japan to debase its currency without punitive repercussions. So far the G20 has acquiesced, but their tacit approval doesn’t really mean much. They have no choice but to go along with Japan’s moves. Kuroda, who is Bernanke’s equivalent at the Bank of Japan and Abe’s sidekick, has made it clear he is fully committed to the program, no matter what the West thinks.

Longer-term, Abenomics is a recipe for disaster – have no illusions about that. Japan, as John Mauldin likes to say, is a bug in search of a windshield. No nation in the history of mankind has ever bailed itself out on anything more than a short-term basis by pursuing a course like Japan’s.

In the current world, its a race to the bottom. Governments are all debasing their currencies at the same time and what it will do is make their own people much much poorer. But along with that, we will also have a coarsening of societies and we will also risk the rise of strongmen and other autocratic responses. And its not beyond the USA to avoid these social and political problems.

Fed's Fisher To Santelli: "This Can't Go On Forever" | Zero Hedge

This video interview encapsulates the problems facing not just the nation but the world. We are in a time where government(s) essentially runs everything and unfortunately we have seen innumerable times in the past that governments have shown to be completely incompetent.

As Fed's Fisher says, "no central bank anywhere on the planet has the experience of successfully navigating a return home from the place in which we now find ourselves." The problem is that not just the Fed, but nearly every Central Bank has painted themselves into a corner and I think will find it politically impossible to take their balance sheets back to normal. This will eventually impoverish many many people on this planet. Fed's Fisher To Santelli: "This Can't Go On Forever" | Zero Hedge

Study finds less religious states give less to charity – USATODAY.com

Its no surprise to me that blue states are more stingy with their money than red states.

The Northeast, with lower religious participation, was the least generous to charities, with the six New England states filling the last six slots among the 50 states.

The study also found that patterns of charitable giving are colored in political reds and blues.

Of the 10 least generous states, nine voted for Democrat Barack Obama for president in the last election. By contrast, of the 10 most generous states, eight voted for Republican John McCain.

Democrats are more stingy than Republicans? Oh my. I am not at all surprised. Democrats think that they are doing something by seizing other people's property and give it to their favored recipients than actually getting their hands dirty and doing it themselves.

Holier than thou Democrats are nothing but silly stoopid hypocrites.

Two Sides of the Same Debased Coin - Hunter Lewis - Mises Daily

Rather than follow Keynes and his followers down all these rabbit holes, let’s ask ourselves: is there a common theme to this nonsense? And there is a common theme. The common theme is that market prices don’t matter. In a system replete with paradoxes, this is the ultimate paradox: “In order to fix the price and profit system, we must subvert it. No free price or profit relationship must be left alone. The price/profit system must be poked, pushed, pulled apart, only to be left in a complete shambles.” The assault on interest rates and currency rates is particularly destructive, but all of this madcap tinkering with prices is destructive.

Is this, then, the essence of Keynesianism, its blind destruction of the price mechanism on which any economy depends, as Mises demonstrated? Yes. But there may be an even deeper essence.

When we think of Keynes’s headline ideas, they have a kind of formulaic quality. You take a long established observation, for example, that over-spending and debt are the road to bankruptcy and ruin, and turn it on its head. No, spending and debt are the road to wealth.

For the Victorians, spending within your means and avoiding debt were not just financial principles. They were moral principles. Keynes, who was consciously rebelling against these same Victorians, described their “copybook morality” as “medieval [and] barbarous.” He told his own inner circle that “I remain, and always will remain an immoralist.”

We are killing ourselves, doing it not only willingly but with verve. I see this and the comment by Keynes that he is an immoralist and this is what I see in my nation, a nation that has lost its moral compass. The governments destruction of information through the elimination of the price mechanism is an attempt to try to fool people to do what they would not have done. It is not just immoral and self destructive but criminal. We will all pay for this. Some with our lives.

Bank Of Israel To Double Down On Equities, Will Invest In European Stocks | Zero Hedge

Central banks are no longer just central banks but a tool for economic and social policy. However, as Israel is grappling with, reserves are invested in low risk securities that at this time of zero interest rate policies as created by themselves, no longer want to invest these same reserves at those rates. So now, from some kind of nebulous risk/reward standpoint, since we have no idea what the real market value of money or savings really are, they have convinced themselves that they need to move out the risk spectrum into equities.

All I know, is that central banks generally are among the stupidest investors in the planet. Selling oodles of gold decades ago at market lows and recently buying it back at market highs. And now we are completely reliant upon these dopes to save the global economies? God save us all.

Japans’s Scary Lesson on Slashing Interest Rates - Bloomberg

This comment is just plain ol' common sense....

If Japan has taught us anything, it’s that slashing rates to zero and beyond is a lot easier than returning them to normalcy. Japan is on its sixth central-bank governor since its bubble burst in 1990, and like his predecessors, Haruhiko Kuroda is doubling down on quantitative easing. Why? Politicians, bankers, investors and businesspeople alike get addicted to free money all too easily and clamor for more.

Taking the easy road is always the government's prefered path. Need more taxes? Don't tax the people just tax a small sliver of people. Need to employ people? Don't do it through organic growth but through employing folks in pie-in-the-sky green jobs or even easier just write them monthly checks.

But getting back to monetary policy, the supposed path of least pain has been the Central Bank's 5 years of easy money. However, it has not worked and it will end up burying the nation like any other of the governments idiotic central planning market interventions. Best of luck. It won't be pretty.

Homebuilders Dumping Term 'Master Bedroom' For Supposed Racism, Sexism

This is just how stupid the United States has become. We are now a nation of dweebs and sissies that have to find fault in everything and those that seek to control thoughts through making language off limits......

Homebuilders in Washington D.C. have been dropping the phrase “master suite” from their language thanks to its supposed implications of racism and sexism. The word “master” has been used in other contexts to describe slaveowners and dominant male figures in relationships. That means, of course, that it must never be used again. So homebuilders are now beginning to call master suites “owner’s suites.” Steve Nardella, senior vice president of Winchester Homes in Maryland, explains: “I imagine it’s not only a more accurate description but also a more politically correct term of art.” Of course, it is only a matter of time before the left begins complaining that “owner” implies both “slaveowner” and “owner of your spouse.” Eventually, we will simply list “master bedrooms” as “the big ones in the back of the house.”

Hahaha.

The American Spectator : Sowell, Race Hustlers, and David Hume

The cost of multiculturalism for the 'cultures' that are supposed to be benefiting is high. In my opinion, it results in laziness and is an excuse for failure. Thomas Sowell, an American treasure, has this to say about the 'race industry'...

One of the things that happens with organizations over a span of time, they’ll start out with a good purpose and over time evolve into self-serving organizations with negative consequences. The Race Industry tends to promote solutions that enhance the power of those in the Race Industry, regardless of whether the policies help the people the Race Industry claims to speak for. In some cases those solutions may actually be counterproductive, such as affirmative action.

Sowell points out that throughout human history, knowledge is produced in certain languages, such as English and German. Even those from other language cultures, such Czech or Gaelic in order to learn this material, had to gain abilities in these languages in order to succeed and they succeeded when they adopted this. However, the multiculturalist and race hustlers give equal value to Ebonics and street languages as they do do proper English. It is shackle for folks to buy into this nonsense.




The American Spectator : Sowell, Race Hustlers, and David Hume

thought of the day....

Hume also believed in an unequal distribution of property, because perfect equality would destroy the ideas of thrift and industry. Perfect equality would thus lead to impoverishment. So very true. The world of redistributionist leftists today will rip our world apart.

Since the murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell began March 18, there has been precious little coverage of the case that should be on every news show and front page. The revolting revelations of Gosnell’s former staff, who have been testifying to what they witnessed and did during late-term abortions, should shock anyone with a heart. . . . ‘Chaos’ isn’t really the story here. Butchering babies that were already born and were older than the state’s 24-week limit for abortions is the story.”

Althouse: Obama: "I am constrained... by a system that our Founders put in place."

Modern liberalism in a nutshell....

That's the constitutional argument he has in mind. It's an idea of constitutional government as a political system, within which rights are only another manifestation of what the people want. And, in the ultimate scary twist on the idea of rights: Government is not to be regarded as in need of limits, because the government is us. Anything we — the government — want to do is never tyranny, but freedom.

What we have here is a profoundly stupid man that has profoundly idiotic ideas. The concept of government as envisioned by the Obamessiah is exactly what the founding fathers wanted and designed the nation to avoid and this is majority rule and centralized decision making. At that time, although communism was not created yet but central planning was well known, these great thinkers and philosophers strived to avoid this quagmire but now Americans seek exactly that. It will only mean that the nation as originally founded, designed and run is dead and we are becoming nothing but another feckless Euro-state. So sad.

The Keynesian Endgame - David Stockman - Mises Daily

The breakdown of sound money has now finally generated a cruel endgame. The fiscal and central banking branches of the state have endlessly bludgeoned the free market, eviscerating its capacity to generate wealth and growth. This growing economic failure, in turn, generates political demands for state action to stimulate recovery and jobs.

But the machinery of the state has been hijacked by the various Keynesian doctrines of demand stimulus, tax cutting, and money printing. These are all variations of buy now and pay later—a dangerous maneuver when the state has run out of balance sheet runway in both its fiscal and monetary branches. Nevertheless, these futile stimulus actions are demanded and promoted by the crony capitalist lobbies which slipstream on whatever dispensations as can be mustered. At the end of the day, the state labors mightily, yet only produces recovery for the 1 percent.

We are probably finally getting to the end of the 80 year American experiment in American socialism. The nation is struggling and with a massive burden of debt, the ship will eventually sink. But all is not lost, the massive failure of central planning and Marxism will be a painful lesson for folks and with the cathartic elimination of all knowing and all powerful central government, the people of the nation can finally get back to doing what they do best, creating and living their lives in how they see fit.

Democrats are so invested in this concept of abortion, that even common sense and humanity does not limit the 'rights' the women purportedly have that allows them to extinguish a life.

The nihilism of these people that are the core ideology of Democrats is complete as they are arguing that women have the right to eliminate a life of another even when it is viable.

A fine example of inflation and the medicine to reduce it....

Central banks around the world are playing with fire.  Eventually, inflation will take hold as the debasement of all major currencies has been gigantic.  Ability or willingness; the ability or even the desire to withdraw this easy money and to reverse the 'no pain' solution with actual pain will be nearly impossible to execute WITHOUT a market forced solution.  But be assured, either we face this pain voluntarily or it will be forced upon us.

Government spending as an economic force is pure fallacy...

Money would be spent irrespective of whether the original owners spent it or it gets seized from those people by the government and spent.  Government spending in no way increases economic activity.

What increases wealth or income or standards of living is the intelligent allocation of these resources towards creating more goods and services for the people.  My opinion is that every spending dollar or as modern liberals like to call some of this spending, investment, leads to lower standards of living for the people in aggregate.  If the modern liberal theory were true, then communism would have worked and not have made those people impoverished.
