Audit the Fed Legislation Sinks: Plan Accordingly

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“Rand Paul and Ron Paul, the dynamic duo of anti-Fed forces, invested a lot of time and money trying to get that legislation passed. But even if it reached Barack Obama’s desk, it would have been vetoed.  Of course, the Fed pushed back against the legislation. Fed Chairman Janet Yellen penned a letter to senators before the vote claiming that the legislation would deprive the Fed of necessary independence. She also noted that passing the legislation might generate an inflation scare and cause interest rates to rise. One wonders if this was a subdued threat.”

David Stockman, Christmas 2015—–Why There Is No Peace On Earth

“The real threat to peace circa 1990 was that Pax Americana would not go away quietly in the night.  In fact, during the past 25 years Imperial Washington has lost all memory that peace was ever possible at the end of the cold war. Today it is as feckless, misguided and bloodthirsty as were Berlin, Paris, St. Petersburg, Vienna and London in August 1914.  The modern Warfare State has been the incubator of American imperialism since the Cold War, and is now proving itself utterly invulnerable to fiscal containment, even in the face of a $19 trillion national debt.  So 101 years after the Christmas truces along the Western Front there is still no peace on earth.”

The Devil’s Chessboard: How the First CIA Director Collaborated With Nazis

“David Talbot, the founder of Salon, has written a new book, ‘The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government.’ The book exhumes a number of the US government’s historical skeletons: its rejection of Jewish refugees during WWII, its cooperation with key Nazi figures, its complicity in a variety of coups, to name just a few.”

Trump warns UK that banning him would be an economic mistake

“Donald Trump is making good on his promise to ‘counterpunch’ anyone who crosses him — even if it means taking on the entire United Kingdom.  The United Kingdom’s proposed Donald Trump ban arose after Trump’s widely criticized call for a Muslim ban in the United States.  A petition circulating in the U.K. has earned more than 560,000 signatures calling for Trump to be turned away from Britain’s borders.  The Trump Organization warned that were the U.K. to take any action against its namesake, it would ‘force The Trump Organization to immediately end [investments in Turnberry] and all future investments we are currently contemplating in the United Kingdom.'”

George Soros Sees Crisis in Global Markets That Echoes 2008

“Soros has warned of a 2008-like catastrophe before. On a panel in Washington in September 2011, he said the Greece-born European debt crunch was ‘more serious than the crisis of 2008.’ Soros, whose hedge-fund firm gained about 20 percent a year on average from 1969 to 2011, has a net worth of about $27.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He began his career in New York City in the 1950s and gained a reputation for his investing prowess in 1992 by netting $1 billion with a bet that the U.K. would be forced to devalue the pound.”

Jeffrey Tucker: Two Faces, One Totalitarianism

“What does totalitarianism mean? Ludwig von Mises in 1919 described it as the ideology that admits no limits on the power and competence of the state. There is no aspect of life that is conceptually beyond the reach of the political sphere. That is to say, the state is potentially or actually master of the totality of society.  Each side in the great ideological divide of our time admits some limits of state power. Working together, however, each giving what the other wants in a great political exchange, we might have that real thing: a total state.”

NSA Cheerleaders Discover Value of Privacy Only When Their Own Is Violated

“The NSA under President Obama targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his top aides for surveillance. In the process, the agency ended up eavesdropping on ‘the contents of some of their private conversations with U.S. lawmakers and American-Jewish groups’ about how to sabotage the Iran Deal. All sorts of people who spent many years cheering for and defending the NSA and its programs of mass surveillance are suddenly indignant now that they know the eavesdropping included them and their American and Israeli friends rather than just ordinary people.”

After JFK was killed, Truman letter called for the abolition of CIA covert ops

“Four months later, former CIA director Allen Dulles paid Truman a visit. Dulles tried to get Truman to retract what he had written in the Post.  ‘No dice, said Truman,’ according to McGovern/Marcus.  But four days later, in a formal memo for Lawrence Houston, the CIA’s general counsel, Dulles fabricated a retraction. He claimed that Truman told him the Washington Post article was ‘all wrong,’ and that Truman ‘seemed quite astounded at it.’  Truman denied it. In a June 10, 1964, letter to Look magazine, Truman restated his critique of covert action, emphasizing that he never intended the CIA to get involved in ‘strange activities.'”

CIA director fumes over teen who hacked his AOL email account

“The head of the CIA says he was ‘outraged’ by a teenager’s hacking of his personal AOL email account.  Brennan didn’t explain why someone in his position still has an AOL account that a teenager was able to access.  The hacker said he used a reverse phone-number lookup to determine that Brennan has a Verizon Wireless account.  He then called the company, posing as a technician whose ‘tools were down’ to get details about the account, including Brennan’s AOL email address.  With that information, the teen called AOL and convinced a representative to reset the password, using Brennan’s personal details provided by Verizon.”

Ron Paul: Will the IRS Take Your Passport?

“One of the articles of impeachment brought against Richard Nixon dealt with his attempt to have the IRS audit those Nixon perceived as political enemies. During the 1990s, an IRS agent allegedly told the head of an organization supporting then-President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, ‘What do you expect when you target the President?’  As the federal debt increases and the American economy declines, an increasingly desperate Congress will look for new ways to squeeze more revue from taxpayers. Thus, the IRS will increasingly gain new and ever more tyrannical powers over Americans, including new restrictions on the right to travel or even move capital out of the country.”
