They walk among us A profoundly disinformed person commented on Amazon book review of
mine with this: No, I am not making that up! Someone actually wrote that and even put his name to it (maybe a pseudonym). Not satisfied with embarrassing himself with that whopper, he continued to spread even more fairy tale dust: "One of government's primary roles is to create money - from nothing. Taxes do not fund government spending, they function to regulate the economy - high taxes when inflation threatens, low taxes when demand is flagging. A recent (March or Feb 2014) report of the Bank of England spells this out in detail. The long review is based on a popular myth. Read any book on Modern Monetary Theory." Wow! How anyone can believe such nonsensical fiction is beyond me. Who makes this stuff up, someone on an acid trip? It's not just his ignorance and spewing of absurdities that is alarming. The dangerous non-thinking evident in his comments makes me very sad for him. What a travesty. But you, being a reader of this newsletter, are an informed individual. And here's some more information.... What debt? The national debt is very real and is having hugely deleterious effects. If the govt (or anyone else) can benignly create money out of thin air with no ill effect as the aforementioned non-thinker asserts, then there's no reason to have a national debt. Just pay it off with that fake money. But that isn't being done, and this non-thinker doesn’t even question why not. What is being done is our currency is being debauched by the nonFederal nonReserve so that the debt can be paid back with increasingly less valuable dollars (thus, inflation). But the fraud adversely affects everyone, not just federal creditors. It’s also worth noting that the Bank of England's self-serving propaganda is not necessarily true just because it's issued by the same criminals who have been conducting the debt slavery in England. Something like 91% of the land in England is owned by a handful of families; we're supposed to consider the banks that are run by those families to be honest and objective? Sheesh. It's probably not true that national banks are inherently unworkable; due to fraud, it's just turned out that way. But what is painfully clear is that, but due to the concentration of power and wealth, national banks are inherently tempting targets for white collar criminals. Without proper controls, they become weapons of debt. This is why:
Out of thin air You can't really create money out of thin air; you can only counterfeit it that way. And counterfeiting is a form of theft. When corporate criminals are using the federal government to transfer trillions to their own pockets, those crimes leave us holding a massive debt. Between 2008 and 2013, the nFnR "created" $49 trillion that it then simply gave to the largest banks (sorry, nothing for the smaller banks, credit unions, or family that just lost its home to foreclosure). The Secret Service was created to fight counterfeiting, and despite what Hollywood movies portray that is its primary mission today. They let the nFnR counterfeit $49 trillion. Counterfeiting hugely damages an economy, which is why the Nazis made plates for printing dollars and Pound notes. We should all be asking why the Secret Service doesn't shut down the nFnR. Apparently, they are keeping the reason a secret. There is no free lunch. Wishing it so does not make it so. The idea that the government (such that it is) makes money out of thin air to fund itself, and it's all benign, defies fundamental concepts of mathematics and economics. And, of course, plain old common sense. Size matters (the size of the debt, that is) Barry Soetoro is illegally using the name "Barrack Obama" though there is no record he ever legally changed his name from the one on his Indonesian passport (Barry Soetoro) to the one being used on his obviously faked birth certificate (red flags of fakery are all over it, such as declaring race as "black" in 1961 when that word wasn't yet in use for "negro"). During Soetoro's first five years in office, he pushed spending measures very aggressively. Thanks to his efforts, the national debt, which was already far too great, increased by 80% in only five years. And that figure is grossly understated, as Soetoro and his cronies are using accounting gimmicks to downplay the actual increase--don't take my word for that, just ask the GAO. In 2013, the GAO released a blistering report on Soetoro's reported deficit spending of $1.2 trillion in 2012. The GAO said it was actually, and I quote, "$6 trillion if you use honest accounting methods." All that debt, on top of the $700 trillion Soetoro's employers at Goldman Sachs, etc., created in "derivatives" has made the USA into a de facto third world country economically and in other ways. Europeans who visit here are shocked at the dismal state of our infrastructure--crumbling roads, falling bridges, antique power grid, 100 year old water supply systems, and so on. That toxic debt is floating out there, but cannot float indefinitely. In fact, it's killing our country now. The United States is dying from debt. That debt is a huge factor in why only 49% of American working age adults now have a job--part-timers are included in that number. Thanks a lot, Barry--you deserve a cell at Guantanamo. A way out The solution to this debt slavery requires at least two major changes:
Those changes will not happen with the same political party (Demopublicans/Republocrats) in power. After a hundred+ year reign of error, this band of bandits needs to be kicked out. You can clip coupons until you develop severe carpal tunnel syndrome, and you'll have barely covered a drop in the bucket of money stolen from you via the gangsta-government sponsored fraud. Asking your D/R misrepresentatives to implement those two steps above is probably a waste of time. But ask them anyhow, so they will at least know not everyone has been drinking the Kool-Aid they're serving. For your future financial security:

6. Health tip/Fitness tips

In the finance tip, I shared some profoundly ignorant statements made
in the comments area of an an online book review. It may seem shocking that
people that ignorant can actually exist. Yet, the ignorance epidemic isn't
confined to the subjects in that example. I recently listened to an audio book in which the author was giving nutritional advice. His advice was to eat fruit only once a week. Or if you eat it more often, have maybe a couple of small slices of apple a day. According to him, eating too much fruit is one reason so many people are so fat. Naturally, he's an M.D. His basic idea is sound; the yoyo insulin games that 80% of Americans play with their bodies by eating bad carbs (such as "healthy" ones like "whole wheat") does contribute mightily to obesity. But they they aren't doing that by eating fruit. |

And he misses another point. People who consume fresh fruit are typically eating that instead of the convenience garbage. The garbage addicts typically don't eat enough fruit. Eating fruit on a regular basis is part of a healthy lifestyle. But fruit contains sugars, so should you eat it sparingly? Let's see. I eat fruit every day. Each week, I eat not one piece of fruit but about many pieces of fruit. Apples, grapefruit, peaches, pears, apricots.... Great taste and massive health benefits. I even eat a small quantity of raisins every day. As is my custom, I'm enjoying summer with a ripped and cut look that would allow me to walk into any (natural, no-steroid) bodybuilding contest and look like a serious contender. You can even see the striations in my pecs. Is it because I am young and have a genetic advantage? Well, I'm in my mid-50s and come from a love handles and thunder thighs Sicilian heritage on my dad's side. My dad, in fact, maintained 50% body fat for most of his life. Being lean doesn't run on the other side of the family, either. No genetic advantage for me. So I can confidently tell you that eating fruit does not make you fat. But, according to another author many common vegetables will make you fat. On his list of "don't eat these" was the sweet potato. Hmm. I eat a sweet potato nearly every day. And why do I eat so many? Well, 8-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney, who is two years older than I and still looks great, said they should be part of your diet. He even includes sweet potato powder in the meal replacement supplement he sells. Now maybe I'm wrong, but a guy who can win Mr. Olympia more times than Arnold Schwarzenegger did might possibly know something about what foods make you fat and what foods don't. The list of ignorant comments by "experts" goes on and on. Interestingly, the "experts" writing these diet books (based on the fact they have an MD rather than any education in nutrition) look fat and doughy to me. You see their bio, and there's a head shot with puffy cheeks. Not one of these guys takes his shirt off to show you his ripped bod, because he can't. There's also the poppycock about dietary fat ("don't eat eggs, don't eat oils, don't eat nuts"), also. Contrary to the propaganda from the processed grain industry, you need fat to burn fat. I consume about four dozen eggs each week and about a liter of olive oil every 5 to 6 weeks. Looks like I have no problem burning fat. What I don't consume are meat, wheat, corn, and soy. And I don't consume fruit juices (too glycemic), soda pop (degrades bones), or alcohol (each drink of it kills some brain cells--why would anybody self-administer dementia?). Fat does not make you fat (unless you overdo it). But nearly all of the "low fat" substitutes for it wreak havoc on your endocrine system, resulting in more fat on your frame. Getting the body composition you want is a matter of managing your hormonal environment through smart food choices and intense (short but brutal) exercise. One smart food choice is to eat fresh fruits regularly. Normally, I eat fruit after consuming a 4-egg omelet. The fats and proteins blunt any possible glycemic response. The typical American diet produces a glycemic response in the range of 60 to 80. My typical meal has a glycemic response of nearly zero. About that omelet. I use a stainless steel pan with a ceramic coating. I don't use aluminum cookware, even if it is coated, because aluminum intake is a huge risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). To this end, I make my own baking powder (what's on your grocer's shelves is probably of the "AD-enabling" variety--read the label, and you'll wonder why we don't have a food and drug administration. Oops, we do. Fancy that. Also, I do not use antiperspirants (if you eat right, you don't need them anyhow). Read the label. What's up with all this deliberate aluminum poisoning? Yes, it does get absorbed through the skin. If you have any of this crap in your bathroom, toss it in the garbage right away. If you've ever watched someone spiral down to death through the hell that is AD, you should be plenty motivated to follow exactly what I just said about aluminum. If you're not so motivated, you can get that motivation with a trip to any nursing home that has AD patients (you'd be hard-pressed to find one that doesn't). Why the people who make aluminum-laced baking powder, aluminum cookware, and aluminum-laced anti-perspirant aren't locked up for this criminal psychopathy, I don't know. Only you can protect you from these assaults; don't buy this stuff, and do toss out any that you now have. The "government" really does not care and is not going to help. I mentioned the ceramic coating. Why not Teflon? If you don't know why Teflon is toxic, you can research that. But it has no business being applied to anything that is going to touch food. In Europe, by the way, Teflon is banned for use as a wire insulation material--because of its toxicity. In the USA, it's used quite extensively for that purpose. | |
