A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

"Washington has cut off credit to small business and are channeling the money into big government, big banks, and big corporations," he claims. "It's almost a contemplated attack on small businesses] by Washington and it's having its effect."

The the interview with Aaron Task here.

This snip is from:  http://dailyreckoning.com/the-wants-and-fears-of-george-soros/

To understand the speech, one must know what the wants and fears of George Soros are. In my book, Endless Money (John Wiley & Sons 2010), I develop a unique perspective on the topic of liberal billionaires such as Soros and Buffett. Specifically, I argue that their vested interest in maintaining the trend towards socialism and feeding its insatiable appetite with voluminous money creation through bank lending preserves a tax structure that imperils the middle class and results in unprecedented accumulation of wealth among the super-rich. Billionaires love a system in which banks double the money supply every seven years through issuing credit-backed currency, because it sets asset prices on an upward trajectory. More than half of wealth accumulation of the super-rich comes from this rather than accumulated net income or the earning of ordinary income, and this rise in net worth is generally untaxed since it is unrealized. And not to worry – it can be monetized free of taxation through manageable amounts of borrowing at government-suppressed interest rates and even hedged out with derivatives.

The interesting part that I had not foreseen was how billionaires can put their hands on unrealized gains of physical assets by borrowing against them.  Things make alot more sense now!

Do you trust government?   

Do you think Rand Paul was wrong when he said the civil rights act of 1964 theoretically goes too far when it bans discrimination in a private business?  If you do then you are substantively against private property rights.   Keep that in mind as you watch Broken Rainbow.  Had the Navaho and Hopi been treated according to the morality and legal philosophy of a libertarian they would have been compensated for their land.   Instead we played by the rules of the Neofeudalist class.   Since Navaho and Hopi did not have many votes to offer they were run over.   By not believing in private property and libertarianism you open the door to all manner of "sharp operators".  Many of whom end up in the United States Government.

Note when watching this video that the left romanticize primitive cultures and would have you believe several obviously false things.  They would have you believe had the native americans not been hoodwinked by actors in the U.S. Government and Peabody coal that they would have refused to allow mining on their land.  This is a tall assumption.   A more plausible reality is that the price paid by Peabody and company would have risen to market value and the Navaho and Hopi would have sold out sooner or later. 

The left sees opportunity in people treated shabbily.  However their eyes are always on making names for themselves or opening new territories in legal standing and representation.  This is not unlike opening wide open frontier land with little competition.  What would you expect? So many of them are lawyers.  If they do not see a chance for recovering on your claim you will get very little love from them.

Watch this video to get an idea of how governments, banks and bankers are colluding to make you their serfs in a neo feudal world.

Here is my read:

-1- Jan Brewer wanted to distract from the sales tax increase and so she signed the Arizona immigration law.  Everyone was talking about this and not the sales tax increase.

-2- the special ballot was held at a off time so turn out was tiny for regular people….but the teachers unions / public employee unions turned out in droves. I am betting near 100% of union thugs turned out.

We should ban these oddly timed ballots.  They are just a tool used by the politicians when they want a low turn out to enable going against the electorate.   I have not checked but it seems to me these oddly timed ballots are much easier for insider politicians to set up than some poor schmuck of a voter like me or you.   Ballots should be held on election day an none other.

In the economy of ideas we are headed down a path where we attempt to control the collective mind of humanity.   I can not condone this.  The video Rip – remix manifesto makes this point very well.

…..that said ….the documentary Rip – remix manifesto misses the point in the end using somewhat worn out dated leftist tropes.  They posited that Brazil has a political equivalent of "remix".  I spend alot of time in Brazil I can squarely tell you their form of government is nothing but the politics of the self centered corrupt left.  There is nothing forward looking about it. The joke in Brazil goes is that the corrupt politician steals 90% of project budget wonders how the USA does so well.  The punch line is when the American politician tells him he only steals 10 percent.

Gonzalez was in Argentina as a student when the crash came.  He saw the nation go from what appeared to be prosperous to one with hyperinflation.  Later he was in Iraq and saw how make work projects distorted the local economy and left people worse off than before by introducing distortions into the economy.  Highly recommended that you listen to this interview.

Charles Goyette interview with Edward M. Gonzalez.

The experiences detailed by Gonzalez are too important to risk loss due to other websites removing pages.  Thus I have a locally stored copy of the Goyette interview of Gonzalez here.

Dale Henningers excellent analysis as to what is going to hit the democrats this November and the effect of the internet.

They will say he looks like Bush.  They will say he has some of the same speech patterns as Bush.  Oh my how much fun it will be to see them try to make that stick.   The following video of Rick Perry is recommended for your viewing.
