One of the first tasks of the new Republican-controlled House of Congress will be to launch a full investigation into the man-made global warming fraud, as the climate change con that threatens to tax and regulate the American middle class out of existence is exposed to what could prove terminal scrutiny.

“The GOP plans to hold high profile hearings examining the alleged “scientific fraud” behind global warming, a sleeper issue in this election that motivated the base quite a bit,” writes the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder.

As Politico’s Darren Samuelsohn and Robin Bravender reported yesterday, Barack Obama can count of substantially less allies in his effort to push through his cap and tax agenda, because over two dozen of them were defeated in the mid-term elections, being replaced by Republicans who on the whole are increasingly skeptical towards man-made climate change.

“Come January, Obama will be working with a Congress that will have little appetite for the types of sweeping energy reform he sought over the last two years. With the House in Republican hands, some of the climate issue’s most vocal advocates have been dislodged from their powerful perches, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman,” states the article.

Any proper investigation into global warming is likely to turn up a plethora of evidence of fraud and scientific manipulation.

As the Climategate fiasco and the many other scandals that followed in its wakehighlighted, the establishment scientific community has engineered an effort to silence any voices of doubt towards anthropogenic global warming, and in addition has exaggerated and outright faked data to support their conclusion that man-made CO2 emissions lead to catastrophic climate change.

In the attempt to indoctrinate the world to accept man-made global warming, its proponents have increasingly turned away from hard science and resorted to crude and self-defeating propaganda.

As we have repeatedly highlighted, eco-fascism is bearing its teeth and in doing so revealing the true agenda behind the global warming movement – micro management, authoritarian control, and eventually genocide of the human population.

An infomercial released by the 1010 Global climate group at the end of September depicted children being liquidated in an explosion of blood and guts for not reducing their carbon footprint. The organization was forced to remove the video from its website and issue and apology – but the damage had already been done.

The climate change agenda is already on the ropes and has been for over a year. A true investigation into its fraudulent foundation must be welcomed as another step towards ending its stranglehold over human development, prosperity, and progress for good.

This will also free up resources, funding and time for the real environmental problems in the world to be tackled head on, not the ones invented by Al Gore, Maurice Strong and the rest of the global elite, who couldn’t care less about the environment but have sought to exploit genuine concerns about the planet to push through their dictatorial agenda.

The Impotence of Elections

Paul Craig Roberts 
Infowars.com
November 3, 2010

In his historical novel, The Leopard, Giuseppe di Lampedusa writes that things have to change in order to remain the same. That is what happened in the US congressional elections onNovember 2.

	Americans out of work, out of income, out of homes and prospects, and out of hope for their children’s careers are angry.

Jobs offshoring, which began on a large scale with the collapse of the Soviet Union, has merged the Democrats and Republicans into one party with two names. The Soviet collapse changed attitudes in socialist India and communist China and opened those countries, with their large excess supplies of labor, to Western capital.

Pushed by Wall Street and Wal-Mart, American manufacturers moved production for US markets offshore to boost profits and shareholder earnings by utilizing cheap labor. The decline of the US manufacturing work force reduced the political power of unions and the ability of unions to finance the Democratic Party. The end result was to make the Democrats dependent on the same sources of financing as Republicans.

Prior to this development, the two parties, despite their similarities, represented different interests and served as a check on one another. The Democrats represented labor and focused on providing a social safety net. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment insurance, housing subsidies, education, and civil rights were Democratic issues. Democrats were committed to a full employment policy and would accept some inflation to secure more employment.

The Republicans represented business. The Republicans focused on curtailing big government in all its manifestations from social welfare spending to regulation. The Republicans’ economic policy consisted of opposing federal budget deficits.

These differences resulted in political competition.

Today both parties are dependent for campaign finance on Wall Street, the military/security complex, AIPAC, the oil industry, agri-business, pharmaceuticals, and the insurance industry. Campaigns no longer consist of debates over issues. They are mud-slinging contests.

Angry voters take their anger out on incumbents, and that is what we saw in the election. Tea Party candidates defeated Republican incumbents in primaries, and Republicans defeated Democrats in the congressional elections.

Policies, however, will not change qualitatively. Quantitatively, Republicans will be more inclined to more rapidly dismantle more of the social safety net than Democrats and more inclined to finish off the remnants of civil liberties. But the powerful private oligarchs will continue to write the legislation that Congress passes and the President signs. New members of Congress will quickly discover that achieving re-election requires bending to the oligarchs’ will.

This might sound harsh and pessimistic. But look at the factual record. In his campaign for the presidency, George W. Bush criticized President Clinton’s foreign adventures and vowed to curtail America’s role as the policeman of the world. Once in office, Bush pursued the neoconservatives’ policy of US world hegemony via military means, occupation of countries, setting up puppet governments, and financial intervention in other countries’ elections.

Obama promised change. He vowed to close Guantanamo prison and to bring the troops home. Instead, he restarted the war in Afghanistan and started new wars in Pakistan and Yemen, while continuing Bush’s policy of threatening Iran and encircling Russia with military bases.

Americans out of work, out of income, out of homes and prospects, and out of hope for their children’s careers are angry. But the political system offers them no way of bringing about change. They can change the elected servants of the oligarchs, but they cannot change the policies or the oligarchs.

The American situation is dire. As a result of the high speed Internet, the loss of manufacturing jobs was followed by the loss of professional service jobs, such as software engineering, that were career ladders for American university graduates. The middle class has no prospects. Already, the American labor force and income distribution mimics that of a third world country, with income and wealth concentrated in a few hands at the top and most of the rest of the population employed in domestic services jobs. In recent years net new job creation has been concentrated in lowly paid occupations, such as waitresses and bartenders, ambulatory health care services, and retail clerks. The population and new entrants into the work force continue to grow more rapidly than job opportunities.

Turning this around would require more realization than exists among policymakers and a deeper crisis. Possibly it could be done by using taxation to encourage US corporations to manufacture domestically the goods and services that they sell in US markets. However, the global corporations and Wall Street would oppose this change.

The tax revenue loss from job losses, bank bailouts, stimulus programs, and the wars have caused a three-to-four-fold jump in the US budget deficit. The deficit is now too large to be financed by the trade surpluses of China, Japan, and OPEC. Consequently, the Federal Reserve is making massive purchases of Treasury and other debt. The continuation of these purchases threatens the dollar’s value and its role as reserve currency. If the dollar is perceived as losing that role, flight from dollars will devastate the remnants of Americans’ retirement incomes and the ability of the US government to finance itself.

Yet, the destructive policies continue. There is no re-regulation of the financial industry, because the financial industry will not allow it. The unaffordable wars continue, because they serve the profits of the military/security complex and promote military officers into higher ranks with more retirement pay. Elements within the government want to send US troops into Pakistan and into Yemen. War with Iran is still on the table. And China is being demonized as the cause of US economic difficulties.

Whistleblowers and critics are being suppressed. Military personnel who leak evidence of military crimes are arrested. Congressmen call for their execution. Wikileaks’ founder is in hiding, and neoconservatives write articles calling for his elimination by CIA assassination teams. Media outlets that report the leaks apparently have been threatened by Pentagon chief Robert Gates. According to Antiwar.com , on July 29 Gates “insisted that he would not rule out targeting Wikileaks founder Julian Assange or any of the myriad media outlets which reported on the leaks.” http://news.antiwar.com/2010/07/29/…

The control of the oligarchs extends to the media. The Clinton administration permitted a small number of mega-corporations to concentrate the US media in a few hands. Corporate advertising executives, not journalists, control the new American media, and the value of the mega-companies depends on government broadcast licenses. The media’s interest is now united with that of the government and the oligarchs.

On top of all the other factors that have made American elections meaningless, voters cannot even get correct information from the media about the problems that they and the country face.

As the economic situation is likely to continue deteriorating, the anger will grow. But the oligarchs will direct the anger away from themselves and toward the vulnerable elements of the domestic population and “foreign enemies.”

Did Harry Reid Steal Nevada?

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Infowars.com
November 3, 2010

A serious investigation into potential vote fraud needs to be launched immediately in Nevada, after incumbent Harry Reid beat Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle by a clear five points, despite pre-election polls showing Angle four points ahead, amidst suspicious evidence of vote flipping and other dirty tricks on behalf of the Reid campaign last week that were dubbed “criminal” by Angle’s campaign attorney.

Angle clearly had the momentum going into the election, having come from behind to take the lead over the Senate majority leader.

Four separate Rasmussen polls prior to the election had Angle ahead. Two weeks before Super Tuesday, she held a 50% to 47% lead over Reid. One week prior to voting, on October 26, her lead was extended to four points, with Angle at 49% and Reid at 45%.

The race was tight, but surveys clearly showed that Angle was gradually extending her lead as each week went by.

To have a nine point swing, from Angle enjoying a four point lead just a week before the election, to Reid winning the seat by a clear five points, is highly suspicious, especially given the chicanery that came to light just last week. Nine points is not within the margin of error for polls, especially those conducted by Rasmussen, which is considered to be one of if not the most credible polling agency.

When early voting started last week, reports out of Clark County, home to three quarters of Nevada residents, indicated that electronic voting machines were automatically checking Harry Reid’s name on the ballot.

The technicians that serviced those electronic voting machines were the pro-Reid SEIU (Service Employees International Union), the same corrupt union that was behind thousands of bogus voter registrations across the nation. The SEIU spent $44 million during this election cycle, nearly all of which went to Democrats.

“White House political director Patrick Gaspard is formerly the SEIU’s top lobbyist, and former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House last year,” adds the Gateway Pundit.

Furthermore, the county commissioner for Clark County is none other than Harry Reid’s son Rory.

In response to the allegations, as well as Reid’s offer of free food and gift cards for people who voted, a move some slammed as bribery, Angle campaign attorney Cleta Mitchell wrote in a fundraising letter that Reid intended to “steal this election if he can’t win it outright”.

“As a result, we need to deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics at a cost of nearly $80,000,” wrote Mitchell, “That’s over and above our current budget. We need to raise $80,000 and we need to do it RIGHT NOW, because even as I am writing this, Harry Reid and his Machine are trying to steal this election,” adding that the Reid campaign was engaged in “dirty tricks and criminal tactics”.

“When the powerful are threatened, they will do anything to retain their position,” concluded Mitchell.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire – we have evidence of vote tampering before the election and low and behold, establishment candidate Reid manages to pull a 9 point turnaround to save his seat using the electronic voting machines controlled by his own son and serviced by corrupt union members loyal to him.

There clearly needs to be an urgent and thorough investigation into the Nevada vote to maintain the integrity of the entire election process.

The Angle campaign should immediately push for a full criminal investigation into potential vote fraud on behalf of Reid and his cronies.

The Cult Of Obama Crashes And Burns

The hope has gone, the change never came – now people are just pissed off

Steve Watson
Prisonplanet.comMonday, Nov 1st, 2010

The image of one man begging on his knees as Obama’s convoy pulls away from a restaurant in Chicago yesterday speaks volumes about how far the man’s status has fallen in the eyes of everyday Americans.

Facing a midterm election defeat unparalleled by any other in history, Obama’s fall from grace represents the stark reality that the people are fuming that they allowed themselves to be sold on empty promises and outright lies.

Today at an indoor arena in Cleveland, Obama spoke to 8,000 people during campaigning at the Democratic National Committee’s Moving America Forward’ rally. The arena’s capacity is 13,000 – meaning it was little more than half full.

The teleprompter reading biological android is limiting himself to campaigning only within the safe blue states and on the Daily Show. He has not even attempted to campaign in Kentucky, West Virginia or Colorado, where the races are close, presumably for fear of tipping them in favor of the opposition.

As political analyst Toby Harnden points out:

The irony of Obama being the blue-state president is acute. Back in 2004, the then state senator shot to international attention by mocking the pundits who “like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue States”.

The hope has gone, the change never came – now people are just pissed off.

Over the weekend Obama got himself caught up in a long and protracted argument with hecklers during a speech in Connecticut. The president visibly lost his temper as the crowd started to boo and hiss around him. The only way down from here for Obama comes in the form of rotten cabbages.

Two years into the Obama presidency, angry and downtrodden Americans are waking up everyday wondering whether by the end of it they will still have a job and a house, and they are about to show the incumbents in Washington and the world how angry they really are – compare those harsh facts to the head in the sand sheep mentality of just 24 months ago:

Obama’s approval ratings continue to touch on all time lows, according to national polls.

Even Obama’s own supporters have turned on him.

A recent Bloomberg poll noted that more than 4 in 10 voters who say they once considered themselves Obama backers now are either less supportive or say they no longer support the President at all.

Meanwhile a new AP-Knowledge Networks poll finds that 47% of Democrats think Obama should be challenged for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination in a primary.

There have even been rumours of “senior personalities” in the Democratic Party having discussed with Obama’s advisers the possibility of him not running for re-election in 2012.

Should he attempt it, members of his own administration have even reportedly raised the possibility of legal action to remove Obama from the presidency via the 25th amendment.

Republicans are likely to make gains during the midterms, but not significant gains. This highlights the fact that the general public is beginning to realise that they have been trapped firmly within the false left/right political paradigm and they need to break out of it, for the sake of their families, their livelihoods and their country.

State Elections: Where you can make a difference

Rob Dew
Infowars.com
November 1, 2010

Tomorrow the reigns of power will move to new masters. Will these changes be a step towards liberty and the rule of law or will we continue on increasing our slide toward tyranny and a Big Brother superstate? In my opinion state elections, which are often overlooked, can have the biggest impact on our day to day lives. For this election I decided to look up who is running for State Rep. in my districts in Austin Texas.

In district 47, incumbentValinda Bolton (DEM) is running against Paul Workman(REP) and Kris Bailey (LIB). After looking at the three candidate websites and reading a local newspaper article, I would like to see Kris Bailey win the State Representative District 47 seat. He is against toll roads and for decriminalization of marijuana, two issues that neither of his opponents addressed (which usually means they are for the status quo). Kris Bailey also said that both Democrats and Republicans are for big government and more laws, something he is against. Check out his website, he is aware of the perils of overtaxation and big government. My pick for District 47, Kris Bailey (LIB)

Next is District 49 where incumbent Elliott Naishtat (DEM) is challenged by Nathan Kleffman(LIB) whose campaign slogan is “Extremism in the Defense of Liberty is No Vice.” Once again, I am voting Libertarian. The incumbent has held his office since the since late last century and is attorney. I believe attorneys have no place in politics as they are adept at writing loopholes and egregiously large legislation.

My pick for District 49 Nathan Kleffman (LIB)

The final race for State Rep is District 51 is another three way race between incumbent Eddie Rodriguez (DEM), Marilyn Jackson (REP) and Arthur DiBianca (LIB). The incumbent Eddie (GO GREEN) Rodriguez has bought the Carbon Nazi propaganda hook, line and sinker, expect him to be a proponent of smart meters, carbon footprints, and other business stifling legislation in an effort to protect us from what plants breathe. Marilyn Jackson’s number one platform is the elimination of property taxes. She is in the best position to take the district 51 seat from Rodriguez based on funding. Arthur DiBianca is a Libertarian and is the only candidate to demonstrate 100% courage based on the Vote Smart candidate issue test. On the other hand, Vote Smart says that “Representative Eddie R. Rodríguez refused to tell citizens where he/she stands on any of the issues addressed in the 2010 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests from Vote Smart, national media, and prominent political leaders.”

It’s a toss up in but in 2008 Mr. DiBianca took 10.8% of the vote and he is my pick for State Rep in District 51.

I urge voters out there to take a look at your state representatives race. Visit their websites, read up on the issues to see where they stand. The State Sovereignty movement will go nowhere unless we have the representatives who are educated and pro states’ rights.

Lately I have been reading and educating myself on what I eat and where it comes from. GMO food has no basis in our diet and those that think this type of food is ok are giving license to the Monsanto’s of this world to change the planet’s genetic code so we can have tomatoes that never rot, and super-sized cross bread salmon-inscetoids swimming in our rivers. Please read Seeds of Deception byJeffery Smith and educate yourself on what the mad scientists of food are up to. Here is a statement sent to INFOWARS from Texas Agriculture Commissioner candidate Rick Donaldson:

The entire food system in America is being contaminated from the bioterroristic activities being perpetrated by companies such as Monsanto, Bayer, DuPont and others with their genetic modifications of seeds that are engineered with chemicals, insecticides, and animal DNA to help maximize profits for their patent holders.

GMO is creating new health risks for animals and humans throughout the world, with the worst being found in India. Yet, In America, the problems are being downplayed and called “allergies” and “gluten intolerance”, since the doctors cannot really figure it out, or, are being prohibited, because of current licensing and contractual obligations, from speaking out.

As Texas Agriculture Commissioner, it is my job to certify the quality of seeds being sold and distributed for planting, as well as certification of the efficacy and safety of any and all chemicals being sold for use in Texas. When I worked for Chemlawn Corporation, and saw firsthand how the non toxic chemicals are really toxic to both humans and animals. I’ve seen how foods being grown can have residues left on them, even after a good washing, before distribution into the food chain.

My main desire for Texas is to remove all of the afore mentioned products from the grocery shelves and any other place they can be found, to protect Texans, and ultimately Americans from the repercussions being found in the hospitals of America.

Frankenfish, from Aquatechnology is another bad product that I am currently averse to, as well.

I believe it is the job of the Agriculture Commissioner to maintain the safety of ALL things agriculture within the borders of Texas.

I believe it is incumbent on the Agriculture Commissioner to fight back against all intrusions of the FDA, USDA, EPA, and all of the alphabet agencies not authorized by Article 1 section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.

I believe that the Agriculture Commissioner has the authority of the people using the  Texas Constitution, at article 1 section 2, to push the federal government out of the State of Texas for the benefit of all of the people of Texas.

I believe it is beyond the time necessary for those elected to ‘support and defend’ the Constitution of the United States and Texas to stand up for those who would elect them to office, rather than be the lapdogs of the internationalists, whether they be from the IMF, corporations, or the U.N.

I believe I will have a long row to hoe, after being elected by the people of the State of Texas.

I know I will be a target that will need to be neutralized from the GMO manufacturers and Blackwater when elected.

I believe that with the people and the Almighty Creator on our side, ALL things are possible.

Rick Donaldson (www.rickdonaldsonfortexasagriculturecommissioner.com)

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Candidate , Libertarian

The incumbent Todd Staples makes no mention of GMO foods, therefore is probably ok with you sitting down to nice dinner of RoundUp Ready Corn Fed Steak.

Know what you eat, and educate yourself on local and state elections and vote on Tuesday.

US midterms: Coffee Party emerges to take on the Tea Party

TELEGRAPH

The Coffee Party, a latte-sipping, liberal reaction to the populist conservative Tea Party movement, has emerged on the political scene, attracting hundreds of thousands of online followers.

By Alex Spillius in Washington
Published: 9:00PM BST 26 Oct 2010

The Coffee Party has attracted more than 300,000 followers on Facebook Photo: AFP/GETTY

It has just one candidate, Jeff Reed, who is competing in Missouri's 9th district, a safe rural Republican seat, in next week's midterm elections. He does not yet appear to have a website up and running.

While its slogan, "Wake Up and Stand Up", has yet to inspire the popularity that has seen Tea Party groups back 139 candidates for the House of Representatives on a surge of anti-big government sentiment, the Coffee Party's founder takes solace in attracting more than 300,000 followers on Facebook.

"I was so tired of the Tea Party and I wanted to say what I thought," said Annabel Park, 41, a documentary film-maker from the suburbs of Washington who launched the idea on the networking website early in the year.

"It's definitely a reaction of ordinary people to the Tea Party, because in all the newspapers and the media you read that the Tea Party says they are the real America. But the way they're trying to make changes is dangerous," she said.

In contrast to the fierce anti-Washington tone of the larger movement, the Coffee Party recognises that "the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will".

Miss Park furthermore wants to promote civility and inclusiveness in political debate.

At a recent party meeting in Woodbridge, Virginia, Gregg Reynolds, 65, predicted that the Coffee Party would one day become a political heavyweight, although he added: "I don't see that happening in my lifetime".

Think Soros Leaks RINO Neocon Takeover Doc

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
October 25, 2010

One faction of globalist tools outing another faction of globalist tools. That’s how we play politics in America today.

Think Progress — which should be called Think Soros because it is funded by George Soros — has released a private correspondence sent out by Charles Koch of Koch Industries. The memo has the itinerary of a private meeting to be held at an exclusive hotel in Aspen attached.

Soros globalists leak neocon RINO document. Click here to read PDF.

In the memo, Koch says his group of neocons and RINOs plan to “change the balance of power in Congress this November.” In other words, give power back to a Republican-dominated set of globalists and statists who hope to come out the winners in the perpetual game of musical chairs as the corrupt Mafioso government continues its slow motion Titanic routine to the bottom.

Koch plans to “activate citizens,” that is to say convince them to vote for Republicans and trademark Tea Party operatives who buy into the neocon philosophy.

The hand of the neocons weighs heavily on this invitation only, media excluded event. Charles Krauthammer will dispense his wisdom — something you can get for nothing on Fox News any day of the week — and so will stand-up comic Glenn Beck and broker-dealer Peter Schiff.

I don’t know why Schiff is speaking at this event. But then maybe I do. He’s adopted the neocon line on bombing small nations that don’t have nuclear weapons but might according to neocons who have a track record of telling lies in order to get the U.S. involved in the sort of foreign adventures George Washington warned us about. Schiff tells us to stop spending money. But then he apparently wants a huge military that can bomb small backwater countries at the drop of a hat. Go figure. Sounds awful establishment Republican to me.

Take a look at the list of people participating in this event. There are all kinds of former government insiders who will become insiders again if some RINO is elected president in 2012 and the “socialist” Dems are thrown out of the House and Senate next month. For neocons, the only socialism that works is the kind that gives the Pentagon trillions — that can subsequently disappear inside a black hole — and all kinds of fancy tax payer funded death machines to be used against the enemies of Israel, who also happen to be the enemies of the bankers.

Remember Carroll Quigely’s maxim — throw out one set of insider “rascals” for another set of insiders who follow the same basic policies.

Funny though Think Soros feels compelled to warn us about Charles Koch and the neocons when George Soros and the other faction of one-worlder neolibs are basically calling for the same thing.

Notice Obama is still in Iraq and Afghanistan and is expanding the murder campaign into Pakistan and soon enough Yemen and possibly Africa and beyond. Notice his administration is filled with Goldman Sachs cronies. Notice they will not investigate and prosecute the banksters for fleecing the public and stealing hundreds of thousands of homes right and left. Sounds pretty liberal to me. Not.

For the pencil-necked geeks and mass murder apologists at Think Soros, the Koch memo is big news. For the rest of us, it is merely an indication that nothing much changes when these control freaks and government-loving sociopaths are in power and engaged in the same old game of musical chairs.

2010 Is Just Deck Chair Politics on the USS Titanic

Ron Holland
LewRockwell.com
October 23, 2010

“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.” — H.L. Mencken

The political consensus is following the 2010 election, the Tea Partiers and the GOP establishment will breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate their victory and our two-party monopoly system of government will continue as before. A GOP House majority will checkmate Obama and the Democrats in the Senate and political stalemate will result. Many conservatives and a few Washington pseudo-libertarians will claim stalemate is better than a Democrat landslide but they will be wrong.

Like the Titanic, the Washington/Wall Street ship of state hit a Federal Reserve created iceberg under the command of George W. Bush with the recession/depression. Again, like recent evidence suggests, the original Titanic hit the iceberg and sank so fast because of a steering mistake turning the ship in the wrong direction which could have been avoided.

In a similar fashion, both Obama and Bush, following the self-serving orders of Bernanke and Wall Street steered the nation directly into the current depression and coming national debt and dollar collapse by following Keynesian economic principles instead of letting the market quickly resolve the crisis.

Everything you read or see on the establishment propaganda news outlets is just a rearranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic as the ship of state is certainly sinking. The goal of productive American citizens should be to get as far away from the ship of state as possible to avoid the downward pull a sinking vessel exerts on everything in the water as it goes under.

The Establishment Political Consensus Is Dead Wrong

America today is a one-party state much like the Soviet Union, China or Nazi Germany and both nominal political parties are just façades presented to the public to create the illusion of competition and choice. The establishment leadership in both the GOP and the Democrats represent the goals of the same special interests.

Our ability to “throw the bums out” every two or four years is just a release valve built into the political system which guarantees the continued elite control of our political process. Although there are some patriots in national politics in both parties, they never are allowed to take control of either party or the closed political system.

Before the summer of 2011 is over, the Tea Party supporters will already be angry and disappointed as the GOP elites will maintain the status quo and there will only be empty rhetoric rather than political action to control spending, curtail the deficits and limit government. When the coming debt and dollar crisis takes hold, I guarantee the GOP will have an action plan supported by the Democrats which will pass with bilateral support to solve the economic crisis. The solution will be the theft of your private wealth and promised benefits all done in the public interest to save America.

Why Only Nixon Could Go To China

And only the Republicans will be able to steal most of your wealth and get away with it with the acquiescence of the Democrats. Only older readers will remember the above political metaphor as it suggests additional legitimacy for politicians making “tough decisions” can result when strong supporters of a political viewpoint suddenly change their views and direction always in the public interest for a crisis etc. In other words, only Nixon, perceived as a rightwing conservative could have opened the door to China in 1972 as a liberal Democrat would have been criticized, attacked and thwarted by the opposition GOP.

What Asset Will Be lost Or Auctioned?

As America goes under, here are 9 assets and guarantees likely to be stolen by the politicians and then auctioned off to buy more time for the Washington elites of both political parties. Do not believe anything anyone from the establishment tells you as it is always false information.

Social Security Theft – As we see today in France, Social Security retirement ages will be further extended into the future. Wealthy Americans will be “means tested” and entirely forfeit their benefits and Washington will eventually end cost-of-living adjustments for all but the poorest Social Security recipients.

Solution: If you are eligible for SS benefits start taking them as soon as possible even at the lower rate and age currently age 62.

Rising Income & Estate Taxes – This is already a done deal by the Democrats and there will be some minor temporary pushback by the GOP but nothing of substance.

Solution: You might get one more year of the Bush tax cuts so throw all income possible into 2011.

National Health Care Expands – Again, some minor changes by the GOP and Blue Dog Democrats but it will never be overturned and in a few years this travesty will be just as supported by the Republicans as they now support Social Security, the Department of Education and the Patriot Act today. There is no solution.

The Risk of Private Gold Confiscation Will Go Up – When the dollar and Treasury market crashes, Washington will enact legislation against gold investors to curtail your profits, add a confiscatory non-productive asset tax or confiscate your gold with some type of fiat currency exchange. In any case, they plan to end up with your gold as this will be the basis of a restored dollar.

Solution: Move most of your gold offshore in a legal and reportable manner but outside the threat of closed or paralyzed banks, US investment firms and desperate politicians.

Home Values Will Continue To Fall – The long-term effects of the Fed and Wall Street bank created boom and subsequent real estate bust along with the foreclosure crisis now beginning will likely continue to weigh heavily on home prices.

Solution: Wait to buy any property you need at a lower price and walk away from properties outside your residence now sinking further underwater.

Confiscation of Large Retirement Fund Accounts – The long-term confiscation and control idea is to eventually force all retirement benefits under the new automatic/mandatory IRA program where everything will be combined with and managed like your Social Security benefits. Wealthy and productive Americans will find their retirement benefits used to support the trillions in underfunded union, state and local government employee plans.

Solution: When possible, move your substantial retirement assets legally offshore to escape a future liquidity crisis when the theft will occur and drawdown your balances by taking withdrawals as soon as you can without an early retirement penalty.

A National Sales or VAT Tax – This will be a quick revenue generator for the Feds but will probably start out somewhere between 2%–5% and rising quickly after that to confiscatory levels. Americans in low tax brackets may initially be exempted from this tax.

Solution: Make any major purchases sooner rather than later.

An End to the Home Interest Deduction – Again, this will be a quick revenue generator for the Feds but will put additional downward pressure on home prices. There is no solution but never buy anything tangible or even an investment for tax benefits. as tax preferences always change and never in your favor.

An Organized Collapse of the Dollar – The Feds fully hope to get some control over the outstanding national debt externally and internally over transfer payments by depreciating the dollar. How they hope to accomplish this without creating a run and collapse of the dollar and Treasury debt is beyond me but this is their intention.

Solution: Diversify your wealth internationally outside the US in banks and annuities, equities, bonds and real estate not denominated in dollars. Buy gold bullion, quality gold mining and national resource stocks outside the US.

The Bottom Line

It really doesn’t matter where you sit on the deck of the Titanic, you have to get off the boat quickly in a lifeboat of your own design. The call for “women and children first” and “there are plenty of lifeboats for everyone” will just be misinformation to enable the leaders of Wall Street, Washington and the Fed to hide their identities, assets and involvement in creating the crisis.

I can’t wait to see Bernanke, Bush and Obama in a lifeboat disguised and dressed in women’s clothing along with most of Congress and the Wall Street insiders. May the sharks not be too hungry and the water not too cold so they will suffer longer. Or as Jimmy Buffet put it so well: You got fins to the left, fins to the right and you’re the only bait in town.
