Jacob Hornberger: Dealing with the Cops

Posted on by

hornberger1

“The mindset that cops have toward citizens — that they are the masters and we are the servants — clearly poses grave risks to the citizenry. If a person attempts to clarify that it’s the cops who are the servants and the citizens who are the masters, he might well find himself in jail or even dead. Like I say, everyone — but especially African-Americans — has to do some serious soul-searching on how to deal with the cops: Will I assert my rights and demand to be treated with deference and respect or will I keep my mouth shut and submit to abuse, insults, and mistreatment?”

Drivers, Beware Traffic Stops in the American Police State

Posted on by

“Trying to predict the outcome of any encounter with the police is a bit like playing Russian roulette: most of the time you will emerge relatively unscathed, although decidedly poorer and less secure about your rights, but there’s always the chance that an encounter will turn deadly.  Unfortunately for drivers, not only have traffic stops become potentially deadly encounters, they have also turned into a profitable form of highway robbery for the police departments involved.  Never before have ‘we the people’ been so seemingly defenseless in the face of police misconduct, lacking advocates in the courts and in the legislatures. So how do you survive a police encounter with your life and wallet intact?”

The World’s Biggest Economic Fallacies… and How to Profit From Them

Posted on by

im-header-logo-grey1

“As the long lines at Greek banks and ATMs attest to, banks don’t really have all of your money.  Bloated government spending in Greece also reveals the failure of Keynesian economics, which advocates a large state role in the economy. It reveals the failure of the bailouts, which did nothing constructive. They only delayed the inevitable. Greece reveals that government bonds are not sacrosanct.  All of these things – fractional reserve banking, Keynesian economics, the false safety of government debt, and the bailout model – are firmly embedded in today’s conventional wisdom. The crisis there helps to illuminate these fundamental flaws in mainstream economic thinking.”

Ron Paul: Greece Today, America Tomorrow?

Posted on by

“While most commentators have focused on Greece’s welfare state, much of Greece’s deficit was caused by excessive military spending. Greece’s military budget remains among the largest in the European Union.  Despite all the handwringing over how the phony sequestration cuts have weakened America’s defenses, the United States military budget remains larger than the combined budgets of the world’s next 15 highest spending militaries. Little, if any, of the military budget is spent defending the American people from foreign threats. Instead, the American government wastes billions of dollars on an imperial foreign policy that makes Americans less safe.”

Freedom or the Slaughterhouse? The American Police State from A to Z

Posted on by

AGOW_SMALL1

“Despite the best efforts of some to sound the alarm, the nation is being locked down into a militarized, mechanized, hypersensitive, legalistic, self-righteous, goose-stepping antithesis of every principle upon which this nation was founded. All the while, the nation’s citizens seem content to buy into a carefully constructed, benevolent vision of life in America that bears little resemblance to the gritty, pain-etched reality that plagues those unfortunate enough to not belong to the rarefied elite. For those whose minds have been short-circuited into believing the candy-coated propaganda peddled by the politicians, here is an A-to-Z, back-to-the-basics primer of what life in the USA is really all about.”

Trumpism: The Ideology

Posted on by

“For now, Trump seems more like comedy than reality. I want to laugh about what he said, like reading a comic-book version of Franco, Mussolini, or Hitler. And truly I did laugh, as when he denounced the existence of tech support in India that serves American companies (‘how can it be cheaper to call people there than here?’ — as if he still thinks that long-distance charges apply).  Let’s hope this laughter doesn’t turn to tears.  So, what does Trump actually believe? He does have a philosophy, though it takes a bit of insight and historical understanding to discern it.”

Jade Helm, Terrorist Attacks, Surveillance and Other Fairy Tales

Posted on by

“It remains to be seen whether Jade Helm 15 proves to be a thinly veiled military plot to take over the country or is merely a ‘routine’ exercise for troops, albeit a blatantly intimidating flexing of the military’s muscles.  The problem arises when you add Jade Helm to the list of other troubling developments that have taken place over the past 30 years or more. Suddenly, the overall picture seems that much more sinister. Clearly, there’s a larger agenda at work here, and it’s one the American people had better clue into before it’s too late to do anything about it. Call me paranoid, but I think we’d better take James Madison’s advice and ‘take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.'”

Money Will Be Digital — But Will It Be Free?

Posted on by

“What a strange world we now live in. Total surveillance of every citizen’s transactions, without any basis or suspicion, is not just normal but presented as a virtue, a form of patriotism. Using cash or wishing to retain your financial privacy is inherently suspect, a radical position, soon to be a crime.  Using cash or wishing to retain your financial privacy is inherently suspect, a radical position, soon to be a crime.  A future where all payments are trackable is terrifying, but a world with centralized control over transactions would be even worse. Digital currency with centralized control means the eradication of property as a right.”

“It Could Never Happen Here”

Posted on by

“Of course, not everyone in Greece is hurting. Many people saw this coming and took action. They took all their money out of the banks, put it under the mattress, or maybe stored it in a safe. Maybe they bought gold, or diamonds, or something else. These people aren’t standing in lines at ATMs. They aren’t going to go homeless or hungry.  But these people get a pretty bad rap—at least here in the US, where we call them ‘doomsday preppers.’ Or ‘bunker monkeys.’ Or ‘conspiracy theorists.’ Or ‘gold bugs.’ They take a beating.  Jim Rickards tweeted the other day, ‘I’ll bet there a lot of Greeks saying, ‘I wish I had bought some gold.’’ Truer words have never been spoken.”

The Ominous Warning in Denny Hastert’s Downfall

Posted on by

“The speaker who pushed through financial monitoring provisions of the USA Patriot Act found himself ensnared in the same law. By ‘structuring’ his cash withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements, he aroused suspicions at his bank and gave the FBI reason to investigate. As delightful as it is to see the mighty brought low, Hastert may also be victim of a grave injustice. If the government thinks it can prove Hastert committed a sex crime, the right course would be to file charges and let a jury decide. Law enforcement now has the power to bypass courts and inflict punishment without trial. Before we relish Hastert’s downfall, we should remember that any one of us could be next.”
