You are indeed a wise observer of our condition, with a talent for a devastating quip. I endorse the amusement and applause for your last paragraph above. I like what you say, and appreciate the opportunity to put in my own 2 cents as well. Sometimes I do it in terms calculated to stir passions and provoke thought, as I feel America could use more passion and less complacency. I apologize if it sometimes offends.

Putin and Bush, they made an oddly matched pair during their February 24 meeting in Bratislava, Slovakia," I wrote.

They speak for themselves, and there is no need for me to elaborate on them. If one reads these articles and watches the videos and absorbs their message, the entire fabric of lies and subversion of the common will to resist Leviathan will become clear. This is the foundation on which everything that is happening in our world rests - economics, militarism, crisis, anger, brutality, apathy, fear, ignorance, stupidity, exploitation, violence and political theater.

"The Soviet intelligence...Mr. Grigg: you say,<br /><br />"The Soviet intelligence apparatus was skilled at strategic deception."<br /><br />No doubt about it. But, after all I have posted here, how can you as an American point a finger at the KGB while not mentioning the CIA and FBI and all the other agencies of the USGOV? I would venture to suggest that only in the last 15 years with the development of Internet sources of information and opinion has the US public even BEGUN to realize how corrupt and evil our government is.<br /><br />This evil did not just now happen. And it has nothing to do with the two political parties. (Although the Republican Party, especially, has been taken over, since ex-CIA Director G.H.W. Bush became President, by the darkest forces of evil.)<br /><br />Roosevelt knew in advance about Pearl Harbor. The CIA killed John Kennedy. They engineered the Watergate fiasco that brought down Nixon. The FBI killed Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. They blew up airplanes to get one person, assassinated the UN Secretary General, fomented wars, revolutions and vicious insurrections, and more. <br /><br />All the while we were told in our Government-controlled media that this was a virtuous nation, a shining city on a hill, the light of the free world, and the Soviets were the Tonton Macoutes and Satan-worshippers of the world. (Dig into your pockets! Pay your taxes and put your money in the collection plate, folks, so we can defeat the forces of Satan!) And we believed it, until the Internet came along to disillusion us. Some of us, witness above, still have not gotten the message, but are still living in the past of the Easter Bunny and Leave it to Beaver.<br /><br />I encourage your readers to spend $8.99 to buy the E-book, "Conversations with The Crow," available here:<br /><br />http://www.conversationswiththecrow.com/<br /><br />"The Crow" was Robert Trumbull Crowley, Assistant Deputy Director (or second-in-command) at the CIA's Directorate of Operations, the department that assassinated Kennedy, assassinated one Pope and conspired in the attempt to kill another, and murdered hundreds of innocent people as collateral damage in other expedient operations. They even murdered their own ex-Director William Colby. In the book, Crowley explains why, also why Kennedy took us to war in Vietnam, and why the CIA and others killed him. Crowley joined the CIA at its inception in 1947 and retired in or about 1986.<br /><br />Disclosure: I have absolutely no financial interest whatsoever in this book or with the people putting it out. However, on enquiry, I was told no publisher in the US or any English-speaking country would touch it with a ten-foot pole, and thus it is being published only as an E-book. It will never be reviewed by Oprah or the New York Times; in fact, you will probably never hear about it anywhere, except perhaps on the Web. I encourage everyone to download it before it is possibly forcibly removed from the Internet. It is ten times more devastating than Smedley Butler, Eustace Mullins, and Benjamin Freedman, combined.<br /><br />When you have read it, then you may come back and point fingers at the Soviet Union, which, (breaking news, folks!!) died 20 years ago. <br /><br />As you yourself say, "What is really interesting is that the worst elements of the Soviet system are now allied with Washington, often over Moscow's objections. In some ways, Russia is freer than the USA."<br /><br />If you know that, why don't you correct the writers who post their nonsense about Russia here?<br /><br />Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-22186594566768422572010-02-10T21:08:08.711-07:002010-02-10T21:08:08.711-07:00The bullion tax is probably the stupidest tax prop...The bullion tax is probably the stupidest tax proposal I've read about lately. It's obvious that the bureaucrats in Washington know nothing at all about buying bullion. The price of a 1 oz. American Gold Eagle is currently about $1140. Washington has a 6.5% sales tax, so this would increase the cost to $1214.10 - a difference of $74. Shipping and handling on online purchase from Apmex, Bullion Direct, or Kitco is around $25. If this passes, the bullion dealers in Washington will probably have to close eventually, except maybe those who deal in coins in general.<br /><br />Also, as noted in the Seattle Times article, the margins are extremely small in the bullion business. Just because the price of gold has gone up since 2008 does not mean the dealers are suddenly super-rich, as the tax-hikers probably think they are.TAShttp://flyoverlibertarian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-11354982598839617022010-02-10T15:36:36.650-07:002010-02-10T15:36:36.650-07:00Anonymous, however we characterize post-Soviet Rus...Anonymous, however we characterize post-Soviet Russia, it simply cannot be considered the same <i>empire</i> it was prior to the events of 1989-1991. <br /><br />I'm very well acquainted with Golitsyn's work; a decade and a half or so ago, I spent a lot of time in the company of Christopher Story, who is still (I think) the only Western writer who has access to Golitsyn. <br /><br />The Soviet intelligence apparatus was skilled at strategic deception. But there are limits to what they can do to control events they've set in motion. <br /><br />Cunning, ruthless, and capable as they were, I don't think the Soviet strategists dictated all of the critical political and cultural developments in Russia and the FSU during the past two decades.<br /><br />Sure, the Russian <i>nomenklatura</i> remains largely intact; that's a point I've made quite frequently. Some of the former SSRs (such as Uzbekistan) are ruled by utterly bestial veterans of the Soviet system. What is really interesting is that the worst elements of the Soviet system are now allied with Washington, often over Moscow's objections.<br /><br />In some ways, Russia is freer than the USA. Some former Soviet-dominated countries, such as Estonia and the Czech Republic, are <i>much</i> freer. <br /><br />Russia itself has less onerous tax rates, a lighter regulatory burden, and a <i>much</i> smaller military budget than the U.S. Its global posture is one of defending its own interests, rather than exporting revolution. <br /><br />Russia is a big country with an evil government (to say the latter is to assume the former). But I cannot see how Moscow, rather than Washington, should be considered the chief agent of military aggression and subversion in the contemporary world.William N.

This practice not only exploits unwary consumers and collectors, but also may violate Federal law. Both consumers and coin collectors should be aware of this practice and should exercise vigilance and good judgment when purchasing pre-1950 coins. <br /><br />The Hobby Protection Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 2101–2106) outlaws manufacturing or importing imitation numismatic items unless they are marked in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Specifically, any such imitation numismatic item intended to be introduced or distributed in commerce must be plainly and permanently marked "copy." To read the FTC's 1998 Consumer Alert on Investing in Rare Coins, visit the Better Business Bureau's webpage, http://www.bbb.org/us/article/4740 <br /><br />In addition, these imitation coins may violate Federal counterfeiting laws (18 U.S.C. §§ 485, 489 & 490). The United States Mint has no Federal criminal enforcement authority. Rather, it refers such matters to the United States Secret Service, which is lawfully authorized to detect and arrest any person who violates any Federal law relating to United States coinage (18 U.S.C. § 3056(b)(2)).

http://www.cnbc.com/id/3523732...Story available at:<br />http://www.cnbc.com/id/35237324 <br /><br />WASHINGTON, Feb 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Top officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee duplicated a stolen classified US government policy document before returning it under order of the US Trade Representative. <br /><br />The newly released FBI form FD-302 is available for download at http://IRmep.org/ila/economy/FD302.pdf . <br /><br />Testimony about AIPAC's executive director and top lobbyist reveals AIPAC duplicated the classified report "Probable Economic Effect of Providing Duty Free Treatment for U.S. Imports from Israel" after covertly receiving it from Israeli Minister of Economics Dan Halpern: "REDACTED immediately called REDACTED at the USTR to make arrangements to return the document. The report was subsequently returned to the USTR by a member of the AIPAC office staff. Prior to returning this document, REDACTED asked to have a duplicate copy made so that the staff of the AIPAC could further examine the report....He stated that REDACTED retained the duplicate copy of the report and that the original report was returned to the USTR." The classified 300 page report contained business confidential information and trade secrets provided by 76 American industry and worker groups lobbying against a bilateral intergovernmental managed trade pact with Israel. The fight pitted Monsanto, the U.S. Bromine Alliance, Sunkist Growers Inc., the American Farm Bureau and the AFL-CIO against the Israeli government, AIPAC, and the American Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry. After the trade deal passed, the US cumulative trade deficit with Israel grew to $71 billion; equivalent to 100,000 lost US jobs each year over the past decade. The report is still considered so sensitive neither the USTR nor the International Trade Commission will release it under the Freedom of Information Act. <br /><br />This warrants close public scrutiny according to IRmep director of research Grant Smith: "AIPAC is again pushing legislation that undermines American industries, workers, shippers, financial institutions and our most valuable trading partners. These startling AIPAC testimonials to law enforcement officials, published online for the first time, reveal the subordination of US interests and our advice and consent democratic process of governance to the AIPAC and its foreign principals." The Israel Lobby Archive, http://IRmep.org/ila, is a unit of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington. The Archive digitizes declassified documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act filings with law enforcement, economic, diplomatic and intelligence agencies. IRmep is a Washington-based nonprofit that studies U.S. Middle East policy formulation. <br /><br />SOURCE: Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) CONTACT: Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) Grant Smith, 202-342-7325 info@irmep.org <br />Copyright Business Wire <br /><br />ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NO GODDAMN COMMENT.....<br />Lemuel GulliverLemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-28463621066563746682010-02-10T14:36:04.486-07:002010-02-10T14:36:04.486-07:00Anon 12:08, I think you're correct to a certai...Anon 12:08, I think you're correct to a certain degree. The old USSR didn't "collapse" as much as it "re-morphed", the tyranny that was its chief characteristic having renamed itself, decentralized through ethnic devolution, and the corrupt Nomanklatura-based kleptocracy that was the old Politburo's dominant feature having spread itself out over the new nationalist landscape.<br /><br />Here in Amerika much the same thing is, sadly, likely to happen once the UFSA breaks up. While I would like to think that new nation-states that spring up out of the ruins will run toward libertarian-style minarchy, history would seem to suggest that the corruption and tyrannical violence characteristic of the current USA fedgov will simply trickle down to the various state and regional capitols (possibly exacerbated by the return "home" of those congresscritters and militarycrats who don't perish in the Second Revolution and who want a shot at a new fiefdom closer to home). <br /><br />I hope I'm wrong here, but I can't help but see dark clouds. I do, however, think that the one silver lining to the future will be the renunciation of the fiat greenback as currency in any of the new political creations that emerge from the UFSA's remains.liberranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-32541601222058071632010-02-10T14:35:39.440-07:002010-02-10T14:35:39.440-07:00Mr. Grigg,

MARK 7:1-13) country, a union (federation, NOT a "nation") of states. Jews are nothing but recipients of white Christian gentile charity even as they pretend they own the land.<br /><br />And when Mel Gibson complained so righteously about Jews, who persecuted and harassed him for his movie, "The Passion," Gibson's alleged "drunkenness" was merely what stimulated that truthfulness which Jews strive to prevent by their typical intimidation, Gibson a gentile who works within an industry absolutely dominated by Jews (see Neal Gabler's "An Empire of Their Own").<br /><br />And never forget Christ never feared or hesitated to characterize, describe, and define Jews, "vipers and serpents," in Gosp. MATT, see entire 23rd chapt. In Gosp. JOHN 8:44, Christ noted Jews are "sons of [their] father the devil, father of lies, whose work [they] do."<br /><br />TRUTH, which is what Christianity is all about in the very first place (Gosp. JOHN 14:6), is inimical to Jews. Thus it's no wonder Jews absolutely dominate the US Federal Reserve COUNTERFEIT conspiracy, Bernanke a Jew; Greenspan a Jew, Geithner and Paulson Jews, the very first Fed Chairman (1914), Warburg, a Jew.<br /><br />The Jew scholar, Bernard Lazare, in his epochal work, "Antisemitism" (published in 1896), noted Jews have dominated banking in the West since 14th cent.<br /><br />And observe the purest chutzpah, effrontery, and presumption of these creatures who pretend Jews must be held sacrosanct, not even to be examined, defined, or analyzed.<br /><br />For who and what are Jews anyway?--this is a good place to start, I submit. Thus Jews are Talmudists by definition--and then those genetically related--they're the race of the religion. And note the racial Jews always, with only fewest exceptions, defend the religion. Ask any authority, Jew or Christian.<br /><br />And so the next issue is analysis of the Talmud--see RevisionistHistory.org, TruthTellers.org, and Come-and-hear.com for best Talmudic expo/ref.<br /><br />So what is the Talmud?--it's a war plan/strategy which the Jews collectivistically prosecute against the rest of humanity--this is the fact which then is confirmed in all history and reality. Thus Jews constitute simply an extended crime-family (only a few of the not-so-bright on the outer fringes) which prosecutes its warfare by means first and most of LIES, Jews lying even to themselves, top-level Jews lying to the lower-levels (but which is accepted willingly by these lower-levels), Jews creating their own little subjectivist/collectivist realities within their minds as they consider most useful to their misanthropic ends.<br /><br />CONCLUSION: Thus I propose to call the Jews' bluff: they must be analyzed, assessed, and examined, and the Talmud is the necessary, logical key and starting pt. to such analysis. Honest elections and death to the Fed.

Nothing really relevant to add to the topic at hand that hasn't already been mentioned by your article or by commenters here.<br /><br />But, have you heard that <a href="http://news.antiwar.com/2010/02/03/blair-us-govt-can-kill-citizens-overseas-as-part-of-defined-policy/" rel="nofollow">Leviathan can assassinate Americans</a> while they are overseas?<br /><br />Excerpt: <i>Blair insisted that under no circumstances would Americans be assassinated overseas for criticizing the government, adding “we don’t target people for free speech.” Rather they are subject to assassination <b>when the government decides they are a threat</b> and when they “get specific permission.”</i> (emphasis mine)<br /><br />"When the government decides..." to my mind would logically include "free speech" or anything else the government decides is "a threat," this Leviathan servant's "reassurances" notwithstanding.<br /><br />It was news to me - although not particularly surprising given our grotesque societal decay of today - until I ran across this piece.<br /><br />Well, we've clearly crossed the Rubicon dividing the long faux Republic perception from the tyrannical reality when these barbarians in suits can reveal this kind of candor <i>seamlessly</i>, without the slightest tic <i>and</i> no public outrage.<br /><br />Death to THIS cursed, broke, and broken America! I knew it would self-implode and was rotting from within, just not to this amazing degree.dixiedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845646940134894119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-15715195554704850432010-02-10T08:35:54.898-07:002010-02-10T08:35:54.898-07:00"I care not what puppet is placed on the thro..."I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire.

So I wasn't quite up to date as these metals spot price have dipped a bit. Post 1982 Zinc pennies spot at .0055 so they have a way to go still.R.S.

I also suspec they will soon change the nickels composition as it currently is 25% nickel I believe. Coinflation.com is where to go to see the values of the coins based upon their metal contents.<br /><br />A 1982 penny is worth over 2 cents right now. A nickel is worth 5.016 I think last I checked. On ebay people are purchasing the pre 83 pennies right now. <br /><br />Just as it would have been a good idea when the feds announced they would get rid of the silver coins to go and get as much as possible from the bank before the crummy ones came out so it would be a good idea to get as many nickels as possible when they announce the plan to change the nickel composition. That time will come, and in anticipation I have already exchanged paper for nickel while I can at an advantageous exchange rate.R.S.
