The sin of accumulated wealth (raise tax rates)

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Capitalism, free markets, democracy. All supposedly good things… but here’s the truth about it.
When corporations or anyone for that matter, accumulates wealth, that removes “ownable” money from circulation. Sure it can re-enter circulation as debt (e.g. you take out a mortgage) but that only further reduces the amount [...]

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to [...]

USA responsible for Africa’s genocide

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Man, this shit is real. It’s all about extracting minerals. Period. The media is connected to the USA. African rebels are being used as pawns by our own people. The following is proof.
Merchants of Death: Exposing Corporate-financed Holocaust in Africa
White Collar War Crimes, Black African Fall Guy
Innocent Congolese men in South Kivu, falsely [...]

who is now standing behind the current political leadership

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

After ruling much of the known world for centuries, Rome fell due to a number of factors that, historians believe, would not have been fatal in isolation, but that proved terminal in combination. Military overspending and overreach, an untenable economic system, and currency debasement all played a role. As has been well documented, the Roman [...]

I Live in a Ghetto

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

I Live in a Ghetto
by Michael Engel
Some social analysts argue that those who live in ghettoes may be unable to effectively organize for change because a self-destructive “ghetto mentality” obstructs such efforts.
I live in a ghetto, with all its attendant social pathologies: isolation from the outside world; customs, language, and behavior alien to the larger [...]

This is what the American government probably feels like

Monday, January 4th, 2010

This is what the American government probably feels like – “Come to our aid, America. Come to our aid, while we have joints sticking out of our mouths and are becoming lazier and more thoughtless as each generation approaches. Help me, help me, I have some cocaine stuck to my nose. I have a cocaine [...]

Section 8 & Welfare

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Its really amazing how many of the people on these Gov subsidies rely on them. I know several people I went to school with who are STILL on that crap & plan to never get off. One even tried to kill her kid & then proceeded to have more after they took the first ones [...]

Shining the Light: Global Freedom Day

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

There are likely few of us in the world who have experienced the joy of being totally free. There are some I’m sure who had no freedom, then experienced the joy of freedom from their captors. Freedom from cancer, disease and drugs comes to mind. I imagine though that of the great majority of us, [...]

Modern American Misery

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

50% of Americans live alone people! The world is over populated and does not need a single more mouth to feed, so “spreading the seed” is obsolete and counter-evolutionary now. Only 12% of American population is man/woman/children nuclear family, that Beaver Cleaver era is gone people.
I am a late-40’s female who worked my way through [...]

Enough!

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

I will not abide by this bill if it is passed into law. And if the government levies a fine, I will not pay it. I’ve had enough.
I have been a law-abiding citizen all my life. I’ve always played by the rules. That is about to change. The early morning passage today of the Senate [...]
