A decorated Lt. Colonel served in the US Army in Iraq. He wrote a book on how he thought the US could deal more effectively with terrorists. He went through all the proper military channels and his book was approved for publication. 10,000 copies were printed.
Then, something fantastic happened. Actually, two fantastic things happened:

For most of 20 years, powerful forces determined to support and maintain fiat currencies in general and the fiat dollar in particular have manipulated the world’s commodity markets to suppress the price of gold. Evidence of this manipulation has been assembled and documented by the Gold Anti-Trust Action committee (GATA).
As the 6 minute video below explains, the gold market manipulation has been achieved by bullion banks acting in conspiracy. These multiple bullion banks sold somewhere between 45 and 100 ounce of “paper gold” for every one ounce of physical gold that they possessed. By means of selling and buying their own “paper gold” between them, they could suppress the market price of gold.

This video features G.Edward Griffith (author of the Creature From Jekyll Island) and Idaho State representative Phil Hart (no, he’s not comedian Steve Martin) discussing proposals in Idaho and Georgia to return to silver and/or gold as those State’s lawful, constitutional money. This is an idea whose time has come.

The following video makes some interesting allegations concerning mobilization of the 82nd Airborne Division. The 82nd has allegedly been told that:
1) they are obligated to support the Department of Homeland Security (Homeland! Homeland! Uber alles!); and,
2) that they must be prepared to deploy within the US on 18 hours notice.
As the speaker admits, the significance of these allegations remains to be seen. Maybe something big (like a domestic war) is about to happen. Maybe it’s just an exercise (and nothing more than a “rumor of war”). You be the judge.

Over 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson warned,
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Today, of course, we have a private bank (the Federal Reserve) that does control the issue of our currency (fiat, paper & digital dollars). We are subject to inflation (mostly) but possibly deflation (soon). And our economy is teetering on the edge of calamity.
But the average American will nevertheless dismiss Jefferson’s warning as irrelevant or even hyperbolic. After all, although we have a central (private) bank that issues our currency, where’s the harm? We still have our homes and property, right? Our children have not awakened “homeless” on the continent our forefathers conquered, right? Right?
Wrong.

I’m no fan of Muslims. I believe Muslims should be no more welcome in this country than Christians are welcome in Muslim countries. I am convinced that mixing these two religions will only lead to national disunity, stress and even dissolution.
Nevertheless, I have to admit that the mainstream media’s subtle but growing distrust and antagonism for Muslims is a little “too convenient”; a little “too effective”; a little too “hyperbolic” to convince me that anti-Muslim criticism is completely honest or “innocent”.
So, I sometimes wonder if my “natural” distrust for Muslims renders me subject to being “played” by others who also profess distrust for Muslims.

Yes, the possibility that silver (currently $21/ounce) could rise in my lifetime to $936/ounce seems absurd. Likewise, the possibility that gold (currently $1,293/ounce) might rise to $56,000 per ounce seems laughable.
But the linked video (below) makes a very credible case that–because of current manipulation of the gold and silver commodities markets–$936 silver is not merely conceivable, but nearly inevitable. And gold, for the same reasons, could reach $56,000 per ounce. When these increases might occur is unknown, but soon (within the next five years) is not impossible.

The linked article (below) alleges that the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon catastrophe–aggravated by the discharge of millions of gallons of “dispersants” into the Gulf of Mexico–has caused the North Atlantic Current to dissipate and perhaps die.
I’m not sure of the article’s credibility. The author appears to be among to first to report evidence of a phenomenon which, if true, will have global implications and may be more devastating for some countries than a nuclear war. The author offers interesting explanations. But it remains unclear whether the author has leapt to an unwarranted conclusion based on “evidence” that is not yet verified, or if he’s written something prescient.
The article is worth your consideration.

Cuba proudly carried the banner of global communism for the past 60 years—20 years after the fall of the former Soviet Union. For most of my lifetime, Cuba advocated the need for a global communist government—a “new world order”.
However, according to the September 16th Time,
“Cuba’s President Raul Castro decided that Cuba’s economy needs to be fundamentally restructured. As a first step, 500,000 state workers will be laid-off by next spring. The government employs 90% of the country’s 5 million workers.”
Get that? The Cuban communist government is summarily firing 10% of its nation’s workers. Within the next six months, Cuban communists will cause 10% unemployment.

I don’t agree with everything that’s presented in this video, but I agree with most of it. More importantly, this video offers some very nice insights.
For example, this video explains the significance of man being the only being that recognizes and anticipates his own death. Beyond that, the video offers a very unusual slant on understanding modern social structures as “human farms”.
