For those who might, sadly, be unaware; the Granny Warriors held a rally on the lawn in front of the U.S. Capitol on April 15, 2008. I have yet to hear how many people attended, but from my experience attendance was probably about one-tenth of what it should have been. The speakers included numerous dignitaries for freedom, including of course, Ron Paul. The program was first rate and a who’s who of those people that Americans need to hear from in place of the con artists the mainstream media insults us by showcasing.

My favorite speaker would have to be Ernie Hancock. Although I’m anything but unbiased in that regard. I’m proud to say that I have worked and played (great activism entails both elements) alongside Ernie for a decade and a half. I’ve even spotlighted his efforts in this blog. I truly view him as the brother I otherwise never had. So I trust you’ll forgive me for gushing a bit, but I’m excited to be able to link to a two-part YouTube video of Ernie’s speech at the Granny Warrior’s rally. Please watch and see what you think of Ernie. I say you gotta love him.

Ernest Hancock Rocks the U.S. Capitol

Part 1 - Part 2

Well, I had a bit of fun this past Sunday, March 9th. It seems my good friend Ernie Hancock was off minding some R3volutionary duties in California and he needed someone to cover his Sunday morning radio show. So naturally he called me. Yeah, right.

At any rate, whatever possessed him to call me is fine. I jumped at the chance to show his listeners what a horrible speaker I am. Joining me was John Morino of We Are Change, who had been on the show with Ernie recently and who is quite well-informed and well-spoken. Characteristics that I’m sure listeners appreciated after hearing me repeatedly trip over my tongue.

But why take my word for it when, through the miracle of the internet, you can listen to it for yourself? Right here.

In an insane world the sane man is ignored, castigated, or in some cases laughed-off. Ron Paul is one such individual in the political realm in the U.S. Another such man is Jim Rogers who has made his place in the financial world; and quite successfully at that. Below is a video of Jim on MSNBC calling for the abolition of the Federal Reserve System. He might as well be calling for the abolition of Mom and apple pie.

Americans accept the Fed’s indispensability as an article of faith in what has come to be our national religion. That is, our automatic regard for institutions that have become more important than the purposes for which they were instituted. The Fed (a private corporation instituted to finance our War Machine) is one such institution, and our Federal Government (a corporation instituted to safeguard our Constitutional rights) is another. The two behemoths seem to vie for the title of Most Mindlessly-Cherished.

Never mind that they both long ago became more the source of our problems than a solution to them. It is now veritable religious heresy to call for their restraint or abolition. Almost. But not to the few remaining sane men who are unafraid to advocate the excision of our overgrown economic and political cancers.

Truth is often quite painful and difficult to accept. Watch Jim Rogers dish it out for eleven straight minutes.

Up yours if you don’t

The following is the proper response by gun rights advocate David Codrea to a federal agent attempting to intimidate him. If more of us asserted ourselves in this fashion we’d have far fewer problems with our criminal government.

It appears that Federal Marshalls are now joining the BATFE in overstepping their bounds and misinterpreting laws to intimidate uppity gunnies. Read and learn how to properly counter such efforts.

I understand you took Ryan Horsley aside at the conclusion of trial testimony and instructed him to advise me of the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007, specifically, “Inspector Meyer asked me to contact you in regards to posting any information with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite the commission of a crime of violence against that covered official… ”

Coming to a mall near you

Some Americans understood that the invasion of Iraq was simply about stealing their oil from day one. Others have managed to figure it out over the last five years. Still more at least strongly suspect it by now.

The video below is for the thirty percent who still view the U.S. invasion as some kind of righteous endeavor to free the Iraqis from despotism. If this doesn’t wake you up, then nothing anyone can say or do ever will. In which case this video will make you absolutely giddy with pride.

The best thing we could do is to bring our troops home and send you, the willfully ignorant enablers of evil, to take their places. Oh, and the best part is these are the guys who are coming home to join our police forces. Have taser will travel!

I think it’s safe to say that the issue of medical marijuana proves that government exists for the purpose of something, nay, anything other than our betterment. Considerable research exists that shows remarkable medicinal properties from cannibis while other research has proven it to at least be largely harmless.

The truth is that the greatest danger from marijuana is that bad things happen to those found by the authorities to possess it. That’s a symptom of our police state, not marijuana use.

A clear majority of Americans favor the legalization of cannibis for medicinal purposes. Yet the senseless persecution of its users and providers proceeds unabated. Surely something else is at work here. Something like the preservation of medical and, in particular, cancer industry profits. I think many people have suspected as much for quite some time. This parallels the outlawing of the hemp industry for the benefit of the timber industry.

Now comes a sad story out of Nova Scotia, Canada of a man who has gone to great lengths to not only prove the benefits of hemp oil, but to provide it to sick people free of charge. One would think that such a thing would be welcomed and admired by Canadians and their government. Yeah, right.

Nope, just as Galileo and others suffered persection for having the audacity to reveal truth that proved inconvenient to powerful people; now Rick Simpson has been prosecuted and imprisoned for his actions. Below are links to a seven-part documentary of the story of Rick Simpson entitled Run From the Cure. I think everyone should take an hour to view these videos and come to understand what really lies behind the evil and irrational persecution of users of this natural medicine.

Run From the Cure

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7

One of my favorite online resources is a website called NaturalNews.com. It’s published by a guy in Tucson by the name of Mike Adams, aka The Health Ranger. Most of the information on the site relates to health and nutrition, but occasionally other topics are presented as well.

One such “other topic” today was a link to a short book entitled Seven Words That Can Change the World written by Joseph R. Simonetta. You can read the book in its entirety online, and I highly recommend that you do so. (It won’t take very long) It may challenge your present beliefs, but it will do so in a clear, concise and respectful way that will both surprise and impress you.

Beyond that, I won’t reveal any more about the book that might unnecessarily dissuade anyone from reading it.

If you’re one of those people who sees the world through the pitifully narrow viewport provided to you by the lamestream media, the following information will surely be news to you.

Over the last several days, beginning around February 1, four undersea communication cables (make that eight) in the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf have been severed. The result has been that much of the Middle East has seen its internet capability dramatically reduced or, in the case of Iran, nearly eliminated. Against all odds, the outages have not effected either Israel or U.S.-occupied Iraq. Obviously, God must be with us.

The explanation offered for these usually rare occurrences is that ships have dragged anchors across the cables. Four of them. Affecting the same region. In two or three days.

Yeah, right.

This has about the same probability of occurring as the only three steel-framed buildings ever to collapse from fire doing so on the same day. In short, these are fairy-tales for the masses who are happy to believe any explanation offered so they can get back to watching the Super Bowl, American Idol, or The Power Hour. Except, as I alluded to at the outset, the masses haven’t even been told about the cable-cutting.

This leads me to believe that something significant is afoot. I don’t know just what it is, but speculation around the blogosphere points to two possibilities. The first is that the inevitable U.S. attack on Iran is imminent and the cables were cut to ensure that only the U.S. version of events could be heard. The second has to do with stopping the ongoing dollar-based disinvestment by the oil-producing countries. Either or both may be true. Or it could be something else, as yet unimagined, in addition to or instead of the first two. Perhaps Jimmy Carter can enlighten us.

Initially, I thought that an attack on Iran was the likely reason for cutting the cables since they, like Iraq before them, are planning to sell their oil for currencies other than the dollar. That may still prove to be the case, but I’ve come to think that it has more to do with propping up the dollar; albeit only temporarily. This would allow certain well-connected interests to divest themselves of their dollar-based assets before the stampede ensues. I believe today’s 370 point drop in the Dow is evidence of this. Once the cables are repaired electronic trades and wire transfers from the Middle East should resume in earnest.

Look out below.

I’ve been of the belief that the U.S. stock market will collapse for some time. Multiple Fed Funds Rate cuts have only managed to postpone the collapse and it appears that they are losing their effectiveness. Two recent cuts totaling 125 basis points sparked a rally that appears to have been short-lived. Today’s sell-off alone erased roughly a third of the gains sparked by the rate cuts over the last two weeks. That sucking sound is your retirement disappearing down the drain of Bush’s endless war.

All of our creditors throughout Asia and the Middle East are looking for ways to opt out of the collapsing dollar. Trying to warn or isolate them by severing their communication links may slow their rush to the exits, but it won’t change their direction. The act of cutting these cables is a preemptive act of war and it tells the affected countries that the U.S. views them as enemies. Will they retaliate and, if so, when and how?

While most Americans refuse to see it; the sorry truth is we don’t live in a very free country. Furthermore, we are becoming less free every day. Our elections are rigged, our phones are tapped without warrant, we can be secretly arrested and held indefinitely without bail or legal representation, and now we are in very real danger of being labeled as terrorists if we so much as complain about the situation.

How’s that you ask?

Last fall the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1955 - The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorist Prevention Act of 2007, and it currently resides in the U.S. Senate as S.B. 1959. In this act “homegrown terrorism” is defined so loosely that merely voicing opinions contrary to government policies and proclamations, such as the official bullshit theory about the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, opens individuals and organizations to being labeled as terrorists.

Beep, beep!

This sort of legislation constitutes barreling down the fast lane on the road to tyranny. It’s a road America has been on for a long time, but we’ve been moving increasingly faster since WWII. Unfortunately, the road leads to a cliff and passage of this legislation will leave us, like Wile E. Coyote, momentarily suspended in disbelief before we, and our supposedly cherished freedoms, go crashing into a tiny puff of smoke on the valley floor below. Unlike the cartoon character however, we and our freedoms won’t miraculously bounce back to chase the roadrunner again.

Imagine, if you will, a scenario in which high government officials were in the business of acquiring and selling the secrets of the U.S. nuclear arsenal to foreign governments. These foreign governments then passed the information to other, more dangerous regimes and, possibly, even to Al-Qaeda.

Add to this the fact that the F.B.I. was investigating them and had gathered conclusive evidence of their crimes. Finally, higher U.S. government officials then quash the investigation and even go so far as to silence a whistleblower with the threat of imprisonment.

Sounds like the makings of a best-selling novel or a blockbuster movie, right? Well we’re not talking about fiction here.
