How to become a drone target

Posted on by

“The government apparently calls such attacks signature strikes because the targets are identified based on intelligence ‘signatures’ that suggest involvement in terror plots or militant activity.  So what signatures does the U.S. look for and how much evidence is needed to justify a strike?  The Obama administration has never spoken publicly about signature strikes. Instead, generally anonymous officials have offered often vague examples of signatures. The resulting fragmentary picture leaves many questions unanswered.”

Posted on by

“February saw a massive number of legislative attacks on American emigrants and their children by ignorant or malign (un)Representatives which are only now coming to light as the Government Printing Office finishes typesetting and publishing the hundreds of pages of proposed laws. We’ve already discussed the various recent bipartisan attempts to repeal the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, but another frequent theme is increasing the tax and compliance burdens on so-called ‘Controlled Foreign Corporation owners’ and ‘outsourcers’, including people who have lived outside the U.S. all their lives but got the inherited genetic disease of U.S. citizenship from their parents.”

The Early Stages of ObamaCare

The Early Stages of ObamaCare

“Here is a great talk given at The 21 Convention in 2012, by Doug McGuff, MD, a prominent member of the ancestral health (paleo-primal) community: ‘Fitness, Health, and Liberty.’ This is an important presentation because Doug presents the historical picture on how the physician-patient relationship went from a fiduciary relationship between provider and consumer to a 3rd party morass of collectivized medicine that sacrificed individual services to the needs of the masses in general in order to conform to the rules outlined by the medical establishment-insurance industry alliance.”

So You Want To Short The Student Loan Bubble? Now You Can

Posted on by

logo3

“SecondMarket Holdings, the private-market securities trading firm best known for allowing numerous overzealous fans to buy FaceBook at moronic valuations, on Monday ‘will roll out a platform allowing lenders to issue securities backed by student loans directly to investors.’  Why is SecondMarket doing this? The same reason Lloyd Blankfein was selling Abacus (and all those other synthetic MBS CDOs) to clueless yield chasers all across Europe and Asia: yield chasing and career risk. The justification is also the same: making a market.”

My life as a tyrant

Posted on by


“I became a police officer because I wanted to be a good guy. Even though we’ve all seen reports of police brutality and corruption, I still believe we cops are the good guys. I’ve seen cops perform brave, selfless acts for strangers on countless occasions. Even the worst cops I’ve ever known would risk their lives to defend the innocent. But I have to say this anyway. Before you start throwing shoes, hear me out. I have a good reason for saying it. If you think our police are no threat to your freedom, you’re living in a fantasy world.”

7-Year-Old Suspended, Teacher Says He Shaped Pastry Into Gun

Posted on by

“Academics are hard for Josh, who suffers from ADHD, but he excels in art class. It is Josh’s own creativity that may have gotten him into trouble.  At Park Elementary school, Josh was enjoying his breakfast pastry when he decided to try and shape it into a mountain. Josh’s dad received a phone call from the school saying that Josh has been suspended for two days because he took his breakfast pastry and fashioned it into a gun. Josh’s dad was astounded to learn the school chose such a harsh punishment, even after no one was hurt.  Late Friday afternoon a letter went home with students explaining the incident saying, ‘A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture.'”

Why Is the Navy Building a Shiny Drone Base in Sunny Malibu?

Posted on by

“Don’t you think of red Corvettes, sunglasses, coconut oil, and Hellfire missiles? It’s perfect, right? The Navy is inclined to agree.  All that, and you get to fly drones. But not just any drones—state-of-the-art drones. The Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton is at the fore of robotic surveillance, and the Navy wants their 131-foot wings and spiffy 360-degree sensors cruising around the Pacific Ocean in the name of American supremacy.  The goal is 24/7 surveillance—an American eye over the water at all times, during wartime, during peacetime, and all the time.”

Cash airlift helped avert Greek bank run during debt crisis

Posted on by

“Greece’s central bank had billions of euros of banknotes shipped in from other central banks to avert a bank run during the country’s debt crisis as depositors withdrew their money.  Fears the debt-laden country might ditch the euro and return to the drachma led Greeks to pull out billions of euros of savings in the last three years, stashing their cash under mattresses or in safe deposit boxes. To meet the high demand for cash, the Bank of Greece had loads of banknotes secretly airshipped from abroad, feeding it to banks throughout the country to avoid shortages that could have intensified worries and set off a bank run.”

The Sunday Times interview with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad

“Bottom line: The US and Britain should mind their own business, says Assad. They are no help. They can’t help in the domestic situation in Syria. ‘We don’t expect arsonists to be firefighters,’ says Assad.”

Let’s Look a Little More Closely at What Bernanke Told Congress

Posted on by

The-Circle-Bastiat-311

“In Congressional testimony last week, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke slipped something in that no one much noticed. He said that the Fed might eventually  choose to exit from its current monetary expansion binge, not by selling US government securities, but by letting them mature.  So what happens if the Fed holds a bond to maturity? In that case, the Fed presumably receives the principal payment from the Treasury and then sends that back to the Treasury too. In effect, the government has simply canceled its own debt.  Bernanke has in effect announced an intention to cancel US bonds, and it doesn’t cause a ripple.”
