Anchor Babies: No More U.S. Citizenship

Does it make sense to taxpayers for 400,000 pregnant mothers to break across America’s borders annually—and birth their babies into instant citizenship in the United States?  Is it fair for American taxpayers to pay for those births in hospitals via the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)?  Does it stand to reason that taxpayers must then pay for those children to enjoy 13 years of schooling at the expense of our children?  Does anyone realize that the costs run into the billions and trillions... Read article

Green Shoots or Scorched Earth?

Bulletins From Clunkerville… Is the economy really recovering or is it all just hype? Here’s what we know. The Fed doesn’t drop rates to zero unless its facing a 5 alarm fire and needs to pull out all the stops. The idea is to flood the markets with liquidity in order to avoid a complete financial meltdown. It’s a last-ditch maneuver and the Fed does not take it lightly. The Fed initiated its zero interest rate policy, ZIRP, eight months ago  (December 16 2008) and hasn’t raised rates since.... Read article

Control the Money

Conquer the World… “The central banking system has, from its inception, acted in ways which monopolize industry (thus negating Adam Smith’s concept of a “free market” and “competition”); militarize nations (financing wars and conquest, imperialism); merging the interests of both the economic and political realms into a holistic ruling class (modeled upon the dual nature of a central bank itself – holding the authority and power of a government body, but representing the interests and submitting to the... Read article

Lets Suspend all Immigration Into USA: National Moratorium

Immigration continues to wreak havoc on the United States of America.  It’s killing our culture, our language and our way of life.  Over 2.5 legal and illegal immigrants add themselves to our already overburdened schools, cities, hospitals and infrastructure—annually.  No let up in sight! Let’s change America’s future toward a positive and sustainable society.  We do not need another 70 million immigrants added to this country in the next 30 years.   Let’s engage a “National Moratorium on all Immigration.”  ... Read article

The World’s Worst Polluter: U.S. Military

No matter what we’re led to believe, the world’s worst polluter is not your cousin who refuses to recycle or that co-worker who drives a gas guzzler or the guy down the block who simply will not try CFL bulbs. “The U.S. Department of Defense is the largest polluter in the world, producing more hazardous waste than the five largest U.S. chemical companies combined,” explains Lucinda Marshall, founder of the Feminist Peace Network. Pesticides, defoliants like Agent Orange, solvents, petroleum,... Read article

Seizing Power and Property

Governments, local, county, state or federal, are artificial entities created by the people. Governments, collective organizations, were created to protect the life, liberty and property of each and every person. Frederic Bastiat said: “If every person has the right to defend even by force — his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right — its reason for existing,... Read article

Empty Cradles, Demographic Destiny and the Death of the West

While the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding was good cinema, it was also a big fat Hollywood fiction.  With Greece’s fertility rate of 1.36 children per woman — well below the replacement level of 2.1 — “big” is not a modifier demographers would associate with today’s Greek families.  In fact, a more accurate film might be called My Big Fat Muslim Wedding. Worse still, Greece is no anomaly.  Long ago the cradle of Western civilization and more recently one of its backwaters, it’s now part of a phalanx... Read article

Question for Bernanke

“Do You Have The Cojones To Raise Rates?” Booyah. It’s morning in America. The jobless numbers are stabilizing, the stock market is sizzling, quarterly earnings came in better than expected, traders have turned bullish, housing is showing signs of life, and clunker-swaps have given Detroit a well-needed boost of adrenalin. Even Cassandra economists –like Paul Krugman and Nouriel Roubini–have been uncharacteristically optimistic. Is is true; did we avoid a Second Great Depression? Is the worst... Read article

Why Won’t Universal Healthcare Be Provided?

The heath-care debate is not about care at all. Instead, it’s about the amount of profits that government, HMO and pharmaceutical leaders are personally willing to give up. Accordingly, it’s clear that many Congressional representatives have no interest in evaluating even a few of the successful models of universal coverage that numerous other countries can provide. Instead, they are, typically, in collusion with big business to stymie any meaningful reforms. Upon receipt of a B. S. degree in biology, an acquaintance... Read article

Why Are Internment Camps Being Built?

The Internet is abuzz with news about the construction of internment camps all across America. Of course, “mainstream” media outlets refuse to touch the subject; or if they do, they pooh-pooh the story; they do what Glenn Beck recently did: try to debunk the story as fallacious and impugn people who speak of it as “conspiracy nuts.” The fact that the Becks, Hannitys, Limbaughs, and O’Reillys of the media circus refuse to deal with the construction of large numbers of internment camps does... Read article

This is No Recession

It’s a Planned Demolition… Credit is not flowing. In fact, credit is contracting. That means things aren’t getting better; they’re getting worse. When credit contracts in a consumer-driven economy, bad things happen. Business investment drops, unemployment soars, earnings plunge, and GDP shrinks. The Fed has spent more than a trillion dollars trying to get consumers to start borrowing again, but without success. The country’s credit engines are grinding to a halt. Bernanke has increased excess... Read article

Humans vs. Birds: Hitchcock in Reverse

“Thanks for the wild turkey and the passenger pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts.” – William S. Burroughs, Thanksgiving Prayer Once, there were many billions of passenger pigeons in America. Then the “settlers” arrived. As one of those settlers wrote in the 1600′s: “There are wild pigeons in winter beyond number or imagination, myself have seen three or four hours together flocks in the air, so thick that even have they shadowed the sky from us.”... Read article

A Cure for an Ailing Economy

Taxing the Rich… Healthcare isn’t the only social ill in the U.S. that needs a serious remedy. The list is long and growing: state budget crises, unemployment, infrastructure, education, housing, food assistance, etc. These are all things that must be paid for, but the money seems to be in short supply. When a country is in as much debt as the U.S., – $12 trillion and counting — the tasks at hand seem all but unachievable. And this is exactly what many politicians would like you to believe. Fortunately,... Read article

Big Brother & Aunt Evelyn: Reno or Bust

I’ve been in Reno for 24 hours now and have pretty much broken even on playing the slots. I made an initial investment of $10, won $10, and then lost $10 over the course of an hour — so I figure I got an hour’s worth of entertainment out of the deal as well as some genuine physical exercise from pulling the lever down a few hundred times. The Ramada Inn casino got my money. I got to have fun. It was a win-win situation. Then it was time to go out to lunch with my 95-year-old aunt, the real purpose... Read article

The Stand For Sovereignty

On July 10, 2009, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin became the second governor in these States United (Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee is the other one) to sign into effect a State Sovereignty Resolution. (See http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com ). These Sovereignty-type bills, resolutions and laws are an obvious and rightful response that the super-majority of the States in the Union is expressing to and against the usurping powers of the federal government. While the effects of federal tyranny are being felt more seriously... Read article

The World Needs A Breather From The U.S.

And they’ll get it sooner than many think… We’re making this way too complicated. It’s simple really. The Fed has only one tool at its disposal; to create more money. Typically, the way the Fed adds to the money supply is by lowering interest rates. When the Fed lowers rates below the rate of inflation; they’re basically selling dollars for under a buck. That’s a good deal, so, naturally, speculators jump on it and trigger a credit expansion. What follows is a frenzy of market activity... Read article
