A Caliphate of Toxic Assets

FrontPageMagazine.com

When a pro-terrorist organization announces its intention to launch a financial jihad against the West, it is well worth learning their methods --- especially when they promote a religious pseudo-financial scheme through largely unregulated practices purported to be safer than the conventional. But ultimately, the new assets are constructed with as little, and perhaps considerably less, transparency than the last wave of toxic assets that hit the economy, with catastrophic results.

Banking system like South Sea bubble, says senior Bank of England officialThe

A senior Bank of England official today compared the banking system over the last 20 years to the South Sea bubble of the early 18th century and said bankers had merely "resorted to the roulette wheel" to keep up with each other. The Bank's executive director for financial stability, Andy Haldane, said in a speech in Chicago that having been stable over much of the 20th century, returns in the banking system relative to the wider stock-market shot up after 1986 until 2006. "Banking became the goose laying the golden eggs.

Celebrating the End of American Independence

July 4th Edition

By JB Williams

©2009 USA

2009 marks the end of an era in which the United States of America led the world in prosperity, power, individual liberty and freedom. The US Constitution no longer stands as the cornerstone of freedom. The average American is no longer well suited for self-governance. The federal government no longer serves at the pleasure of the people and the states and the future of the greatest nation ever known to mankind, is beyond bleak.

Heritage.org 

The Obama Administration and congressional Democrats have recently opened the door to a change in the tax treatment of employer-sponsored health benefits as part of health care reform. In doing so, they have joined with a wide range of health economists across the political spectrum.

"Domestic Terrorists" Gear Up For July 4th Tea Parties

On April 15, over a million people-who had already smelled the contaminated coffee of the Obama regime's galloping socialism-cum-communism-cum totalitarianism-attended thousands of Tea Parties across the country. Since then, the Tea Party movement has grown exponentially, with hundreds more taking place on a regular basis and attended by Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, et al-all increasingly horrified at Obama's breakneck efforts to destroy free-market capitalism, inflict decades of debt on future generations, spit on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, employ a Hitler-like force of ACORN brown-shirts (read what Dr. Paul L. Williams has to say about them here here) to manipulate the census and intimidate critics, compromise our military and intelligence services, and ultimately bring about a caliphate of repressive Muslim (Sharia) "law" to the United States of America.

America, the Silly Nation

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, we will hear about our Founding Fathers, about those who fought our wars to preserve and safeguard our nation, and other men and women who contributed to the nation's greatness.

It is good to look back, but future generations will look back as well and wonder how such a great nation became such a silly nation, the object of scorn and ridicule around the world, challenged by every gangster nation that shares the planet; attacked by Al Qaeda, threatened by North Korea, mocked by Venezuela, insulted by Iran, and sustained by the wealth of China and other lenders.

Socialism Continues to Ruin Countries

The legacy of Karl Marx:

Throughout history, socialism has never produced a single prosperous society,
but has ruined many.

Those who died defending our freedoms did not do so with a socialist America in mind.

This reminder from John Eidson, creator of www.TeaPartyWarrior.com comes at an important time for America.

John is one of the hundreds of thousands, even millions across the United States seeking legitimate relief from the oppressive yoke government is becomming. 

Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 Introduced to Congress (H.R.1868)

Indiana Rep. Dan Burton, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, and Minnesota Rep. John Kline have cosponsored Rep. Nathan Deal's Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 (H.R.1868).

The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under the bill, a person born in the United States gains citizenship if one of the person's parents is:

• a citizen or national of the United States;
• an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or
• an alien performing active service in the armed forces.

Supreme Court Rules!! Sotomayor and Lower Courts WRONG!

"The Court repudiated, not only New Haven's actions, but also the arguments of the Obama Administration and a ruling by Judge Sotomayor."

DENVER, CO. A decision by New Haven, Connecticut, to discard the results of civil service tests because they failed to provide what city politicians believed is a defensible racial balance, is illegal, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled today. The ruling is consistent with a friend of the court brief by Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF), which won a landmark 1995 Supreme Court case involving the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection.

American Animal Farm in Full Swing

How To Brainwash a Nation

Yuri Bezmenov is a former KGB agent and an expert on ideological subversion. He discusses the slow process of demoralization which has transformed America from a conservative and mostly homogeneous country into a socially-marxist and egalitarian one. The process was slow and determined. The United States of America is currently in the final stages of this descent into destruction which Mr. Bezmenov described in an amazing interview conducted in 1984, now how appropriate is that?

I believe it ironic that this interview was conducted in 1984 - - bringing to mind two books, both supposedly fiction, George Orwell's "Animal Farm" [click to read this book free, online] and also Orwell's "1984" [click to download free zip copy]. If you have not read either of these books (chances are that if you were educated post 1975 you have not), just take a look around.

Border Fence and the Drug War

Evidence gathered in a 30-month-long aerial surveillance of the border is used to draw a connection between the new border fence being built by the Department of Homeland Security and the on-going drug war in Mexico. American Border Patrol, a non-profit Arizona corporation, uses graphic video footage showing how the new fencing has interdicted drug smuggling routes leading to desperate acts by smugglers and wars between cartels who are fighting over the remaining routes.

American Border Patrol, a non-profit Arizona corporation tried to get it into the national media on Jan. 15 with a press conference at the National Press Club. No one in the media showed up. There is a blackout of truth about the border.

Actress in "Stoning of Soraya M" Spreads Comforting Falshoods

The actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, perhaps in an effort to be 'politically correct' spreads comforting falsehoods about the movie by saying "it [stoning] has nothing to do with Islam".

The Stoning of Soraya M. is a great film; I attended an advance screening of it last year in Los Angeles, and strongly recommend that you see it. It is a powerfully moving indictment of the Islamic practice of stoning adulterers, and indirectly of the Sharia in general -- however, those connected with the film are doing their level best to avoid giving the impression that the film has anything to do with Islam at all. The latest to do this, but by no means the only one, is actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, who portrays the victim's close friend. This is understandable in today's politically correct Obamoid climate, but it is unfortunate for the Muslim women who are victimized by this barbaric practice: they will never get justice as long as the world is busy making excuses for what victimizes them, instead of calling to account those who are responsible.
