In the final analysis, the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves. If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them. The time has come to act on these words. May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to the politicians, the opinion-molders, and the establishment, and saved their country.

Cap and Trade Ripoff - Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi.


 

I haven't been much of a fan of the Rolling Stone, what with their florid use of the sort of xanthous English that one doesn't want to hear from children, and their oft similarly hued journalism.

But this article by Matt Taibbi (follow the link) about what's going on with Wall Street's Carbon Tax is worth reading.

Austrian Recipe vs. Keynesian Fantasy

Richard Nixon was noted as saying "We're all Keynesians now.", after ending the Bretton Woods agreement in 1971.   Guru Noam Chomsky noted that the official end of gold-backed currency and transition to Paper Money (Fiat Currency) would be remembered as one of the landmark events in history.

Davidowitz - Petrified.

Lying about Inflation and Shamming the Consumer Price Index.

While Ben Bernanke and his cronies keep crying about the Spectre of Deflation, the cost of everything we buy, particularly food, continues to creep upward, while the government tells us that the "cost of living" is up "about 2.5% per year".

The actual rate of inflation is closer to 8-10%.

Public Entrepreneurship

Prof. Joe Mahoney at the University of Illinois Dept of Business Administration recently suggested to me a 1965 thesis by Elinor Ostrom, who is now at Indiana University.   The abstract is posted below, and the .pdf of the full thesis is available here.

 

E. Wayne Johnson - Position Statement to Champaign County Chamber of Commerce

I was limited to a 2 minute statement - 

We are currently in a depression, recession, or setback, or economic collapse---depending upon what one is willing to admit.   

The laws of economics have not been suspended, nor has there been any failure of the basic principles.  Gravity still works just like before, and all of the principles of physics, thermodynamics, and mathematics are still in effect.  The free market still works, and she still speaks wisdom to us if we are sensitive enough to hear her voice.

David Wilkerson - Banking Chaos.

[Note from ewjohnson -

Little Faith sent the following word of wisdom from David Wilkerson.  Note that Wilkerson predicted the Gulf War and its aftermath in a book he wrote in the 1980's.  Let these words be an admonition to you as prepare for the worst and hope for the best...I agree with Wilkerson that the next bubble to pop will likely break in Europe.]

 

Götterdämmerung - The Twilight of Irredeemable Debt

Wagner’s opera Gotterdämmerung is about the twilight of pagan gods. The most powerful of the latter-day pagan gods that has been guiding the destinies of humanity for the past two-score of years is Irredeemable Debt. Before August 14, 1971, debts were obligations, and the word “bond” was to mean literally what it said: the opposite of freedom. The privilege of issuing debt had a countervailing responsibility: that of repayment.

On that fateful day all that was changed by a stroke of the pen. President Nixon embraced the woolly theory of Milton Friedman and declared the irredeemable dollar a Monad, that is, a thing that exists in and of itself.
