Fiat Currency: Using the Past to See into the Future
The history of fiat money, to put it kindly, has been one of failure. In fact, EVERY fiat currency since the Romans first began the practice in the first century has ended in devaluation and eventual collapse, of not only the currency, but of the economy that housed the fiat currency as well.

PBS Bill Moyers trashes America and NRA
With the first heart-breaking headlines out of Colorado, gun-rights advocates just had to know that leftist lecturers in our media would mount their soap boxes and trash this country for its gun culture and trash the National Rifle Association as an “enabler of death — paranoid, delusional, and as venomous as a scorpion.”

FBI Did Not Investigate Fort Hood Shooter Because of Political Correctness, Report Says
The FBI was too concerned about political correctness and did not launch an investigation into a man who was later charged with killing 13 people in a 2009 attack at the Fort Hood military installation in Texas, despite significant warning signs that he was an Islamic extremist bent on killing civilians, according to a lawmaker briefed on a new report about the terrorist attack.

Colorado Governor tells Candy Crowley stricter gun laws wouldn’t have prevented massacre
As her State of the Union interview with Hickenlooper proceeded, Crowley predictably asked, “Do you see any law anywhere that could stop a man with no record in a society that protects the second amendment that might have prevented this?”

Is the Law of the Sea Treaty sunk?
As of today, (July 16 2012) 34 U.S. Senators are on record promising to oppose the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea if it comes to the Senate floor. Because two-thirds of Senators present and voting are required to ratify any treaty, the long-stalled Law of the Sea Treaty is effectively dead.

More Street Closings and Subsidized Food Mark the ‘Next Chapter’ of Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ Initiative
“Let’s Move,” Michelle Obama’s food-and-fitness project, is going local — because childhood obesity is a problem “that can’t be solved just at the national level,” Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.

Senator says food stamp partnership with Mexico ‘pressuring’ immigrants to enroll
The Mexican government has been distributing information about the U.S. food stamp program through its embassy and dozens of consular offices, a partnership that one Republican senator says is the latest example of an “aggressive” push to “expand enrollment regardless of need.”

UN gun control treaty will reveal gun laws Obama really supports
Sometime later this week, the UN will finally unveil its Arms Trade Treaty. The exact date the treaty will be released is a secret. Russia, China, France — with its new Socialist government — Britain and the Obama administration are writing the treaty behind closed doors. Yet even if the final treaty is being kept under wraps, we still have a pretty good idea of some of the requirements that will be in it.

DNC Chair: Electing Women to Congress Matters Only If They’re Liberal Women Who Ensure Access to Birth Control
Democratic National Committee Chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), told a gathering at the ‘Women 2020’ event that’s it not enough to celebrate that a woman is elected to Congress, but the focus should be on a woman lawmaker who works for “ensuring access to birth control.”

Post Office might miss retirees’ payment, as first ever default looms
The Postal Service repeated on Wednesday that without congressional action, it will default—a first in its long history, a spokesman said—on a legally required annual $5.5 billion payment, due Aug. 1, into a health-benefits fund for future retirees. Action in Congress isn’t likely, as the House prepares to leave for its August recess.

More Street Closings and Subsidized Food Mark the ‘Next Chapter’ of Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ Initiative

I did this article on the radio show last night and thought it was so important it had to be revisited.
From CNSNews.com

“Let’s Move,” Michelle Obama’s food-and-fitness project, is going local — because childhood obesity is a problem “that can’t be solved just at the national level,” Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said.

Of course they can’t just invade your life from the “national level” they must reach inside your homes and refrigerators. That’s the “Chicago Way” don’t you know. Then there is this:

The administration also wants local leaders to create more play areas for children, and with that goal in mind, Sebelius announced that the BlueCross BlueShield Association has agreed to pitch in by funding city street closings. These so-called “play streets” allow children and their families to run, walk, bike or play outside without worrying about traffic. Sebelius said the BlueCross BlueShield Association has agreed to fund Play Street scholarships in 10 cities and towns across the country between now and October 2013 to create at least four Play Streets in each city or town.

As I said on the Uncooperative Radio show, you need to contact your local planning board and find out if this intrusion into your life and freedom and liberty is coming to a street near you. Then say NO!!! to it all.

Ohio to be the first Major American City to be owned by China
It has been said that there are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One way is by using the sword, and the other is by using debt. Fortunately, America is not in danger of being conquered by the sword right now, but America is being conquered by debt. The borrower is the servant of the lender, and today we owe China more than a trillion dollars.
