Confiscation to Supplant Inflation?

I wrote this article last Friday.  Events are moving so fast and unpredictably in Cyprus–first left, then right, then up, then down–that whatever you write may be compromised in just hours or days.  

Therefore, some of the article I penned on Friday is not necessarily accurate this Monday.  Nevertheless, there is a valid point to this article: there is now evidence that the governments of Cyprus and the EU are now sufficiently desperate to resort to open confiscation of bank accounts and pension funds to keep their fiat-money, Ponzi-scheme afloat.   The first implication is that it may no longer be safe to store all of your savings in a conventional bank account in Europe.

The big question is How soon will the US emulate the European example?  I’ve heard reports that Obama is in the process of dramatically increasing the number of IRS agents.  If the reports are true, you can bet that one of the new IRS agents’ primary tasks will be to discover the bank accounts of delinquent taxpayers and confiscate whatever currency they can find therein.

Confiscation from bank accounts may be on the verge of at least supplanting inflation as gov-co’s favorite means of robbing the public.

Here’s the original article:

 

Fall of Another Empire of Debt

Government’s Biggest “Special Interest” Is Government

Government’s Growing “Special Interests” (Photo credit: woodleywonderworks)

Here’s evidence to show that government has become a enormous parasite feeding off the People who work for a living.  Worse, so many people are now working for government and feeding at the public trough that it’ll be almost impossible to vote to cut government employment or “benefits”.

American government has become the main political “Party” just as the the government of the former Soviet Union was that nation’s only “political party”.  The Democrat, and more recently the Republican, parties are just two wings of the Big Government Party.

If we can’t vote the “Big Government Party” out of Washington, maybe we can starve ‘em out.  As the video explains, the average federal employee is paid double what’s earned by the average private sector employee.  So what would happen to those porcine government employees if the private sector stopped paying taxes?  I know this scenario is improbable, but a widespread tax revolt by productive members of society could be just what’s needed to shrink the size of government.

Of course, if the government grows large enough or dumb enough, it will collapse the economy and an impoverished people will have a “de facto” tax revolt in that they are simply too broke to pay taxes.  If we had a depression, I could probably survive, but could Big Government?

Hordur Torfason: An Intelligent Solution

Previous comments in response to one of my blogs insisted that we need an “intelligent solution” to resolve our problems with the growing police state.

Well, here’s Mr. Hordur Torfason offering an “intelligent solution” to the problem with global government–and his “intelligent solution” has already worked one time in Iceland.

I suspect that the key to Mr. Torfason’s success was his ability to gain the respect of Iceland’s police force.

The police are the “point” of the New World Order’s “spear”.  If we fight the police, they will fight us–if only out of self-defense.  If we and the police fight, we can expect the military to come in to support the police.  We can defeat police and if enough of us stand up, we can even defeat the American military–but doing so would be a painful and bloody contest.

But. If we could somehow gain the respect and support of the police, they might abandon their role as the point of the NWO’s spear.  If government can’t precipitate a fight between people and the police, there won’t be a meaningful episode of violence in America.

Do you suppose that the NWO is actually working to encourage Americans to “go to war” with the police?  ”Let’s you and them fight”?

In any case, Mr. Torfason explains Iceland’s “intelligent solution”:

Cops: America’s Baddest Street Gang?

This video below is infuriating.  It’s a collection of video-shorts on police violence.

But, these video-shorts have been “cherry-picked” to support the contention that the America’s police have become increasingly prone to committing violence against innocent Americans.  And there seems to be no doubt that the cops are dangerous to the people.  But how dangerous?  Is the growing volume of video evidence of police abuse simply the unfortunate result of a plethora of video cameras on the streets that record and post only the very rare instances of police abuse, or are the “pigs” really running wild?

•  Most Americans believe it’s tough being a cop.  Cops are portrayed as working in a dangerous world where they might be shot and killed at any moment by “bad guys”.   And they’re all heroes, of course.  So we need to give ‘em a little latitude whenever they go off the rails. After all, the stress of their highly dangerous profession could drive any of us off the edge from time to time, right?

 

Good Americans Distrust Government—And they are the Majority

“Government, like fire, is a dangerous servant or a fearful master.” George Washington (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I postulate that being a good American means living in harmony with the spirit of The Constitution of the United States.  If that’s true, should we ever trust government?

Absolutely not.

The reason we have three, separate and independent branches of government (Legislative, Executive and Judicial) is to keep those governmental branches fighting among themselves and thereby prevent the emergence of a single, dictatorial government that worked for its own interests rather than those of the people.  The mandate for three branches of government (separation of powers) is evidence that the Founders didn’t trust the federal government.

The reason we have “checks and balances” in the Constitution is to protect the people from the federal government.  The Founders didn’t trust the feds.

The reason we have the 1^st Amendment right to free speech is to allow us to expose government corruption.

According to the “Preamble to the Bill of Rights,” the reason we have the entire Bill of Rights (including the 2nd Amendment) is to prevent “misconstruction or abuse” of the powers granted under the Constitution to the officers, officials and employees of the federal government.

Insofar as the Constitution was intended to allow for only a “limited” government, that Constitution was intended to protect against government’s inevitable and insatiable appetite for more power, more taxes and less freedom.  The Founders didn’t trust the federal government.

 

Welcome to Operant Conditioning

Mind Control (Photo credit: drinksmachine)

The following video was reportedly prepared by a mother for the child she’s homeschooling.  It illustrates and explains the mind-control, “brainwashing” and “operant conditioning” that’s taking place in our public schools, right now, in order to create generations of children who are terrified by guns.

I disagree with only one point:  the video describes the conflict as “ideological”; I see the conflict as “spiritual”.  Otherwise, this video is well-done, important and worth your time.

US Homicide Rate A.D. 1885-2012

I received a copy of the following graph by email.  I don’t know who prepared the graph nor can I verify the numbers presented.  However, the evidence “rings true” with me so I assume it’s correct. The implications are fairly obvious and significant:

1) The “wild west”–when virtually everyone had access to firearms–had a much lower homicide rate than was ever seen under any measure of “gun control”.

2) As more guns reenter society under the guise of concealed carry, the homicide rate is declining.

3) Given that the homicide rate is already declining, the government must have an ulterior motive for promoting gun control.  Their current excuses for gun control are lies.

4) Guns save far more lives than they take.

 

One Good Question Deserves Another

According this video, President Obama has asked top members of the American military, “Will you fire on American Citizens?”

If the video is true, then it’s reasonable that the People of The United States of America each ask themselves, “Will I fire on American government?”
