Thanks for exposing what has been happening in our universities for years. It is also going on in public schools. CSCOPE is a program that is being used in Texas. A friend's 12-year-old in a middle-class-town was told communism is great. When the child took "Wild Swans" to his teacher and asked him to read it, the teacher only read one chapter and declared that communism would work, it just hadn't been properly tried......If we don't stop this insanity, we lose our values and culture.

What is our responsibility as citizens? We the voting public need to be the driving force in next year's elections, as the political class will only continue in the Otto von Bismark method of making the population dependent upon government. Repeal of the employer insurance mandate should be a major issue. See the rats in Congress leave the boat of Bismark as this is shown to be a major cause of failures of most European economies who already adopted these types of assault on employers.

The Fed has 2 sources, gold reserves and new fiat dollars. To understand what is happening, you have to follow the money, which per news reports includes real estate-based securities and govt. debt. The securities are because the govt backs all home loans, and no one is asking the Fed for an audit of these securities to see if they date back to the crisis or are new and what their market value is...The other source, debt, is easily traced if you study the IRS figures of the difference in revenue and expenditure. It is on the annual IRS 1040 instructions. The latest shows 36% of all spending was increased debt, and the breakdown of spending leads you to health care, military, social programs as the major sources.

The dots are there if anyone dares investigate them. The Sinaloa Cartel that received the administration's assault weapons is per the DEA dependent upon Chicago as a major hub of their drug business.....Instead of the MAFIA of old, we are now seeing the cartels controlling politicians. Keep your guns, as we are returning to the uncivilized days of the Old West.

Most people in the media are part of the nihilist movement that originated in Europe during the late 19th Century and came of age in the US during the 1960's. The heart of it is 'destroy all previous values and norms'.....It isn't surprising that now the criminal is the heroine... Those people who invested money in the old media are now seeing the viewership falling off in epic numbers, as most Americans don't buy into the nihilistic view of civilization.

Hopefully, your prediction will come true. So far, it will be a first in the history of the world as the US continues to debase its currency. Already, China and Australia are discussing abandoning the dollar as reserve currency. If you follow the effects of QE, and zirp, set by the central economic planners at the Fed, you see the stock market's epic rise, the trillions of govt guaranteed loans and states teetering on bankruptcy with no way to cover pension costs. Will the old western countries and Japan actually print away their debt? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/9970294/Helicopter-QE-will-never-be-reversed.html

Even if the states don't provide legal standing for gold and silver, the black market will. People in the USSR survived that way, and now Greece appears to be following suit. It also happened during WWII when the govt imposed restrictions on essentials. Why does anyone think laws prevent people from doing what they want? Look at the thriving world-wide trade in illegal drugs; prohibition is merely making it violent and powerful.

As Rasmussen Polls have shown for years, we have a political class comprised of both parties along with the media. The political class hold the opposite opinion on everything from the general public. It is the end result of generations of growing the power in Washington at the expense of the state and local governments as well as the private sector. We are now a carbon copy of the corporatist model of most European countries and they are imploding with debt....

The top monetary economist involved in the EU's efforts to form a currency wrote a book in 1995, as what he saw compelled him to warn everyone. He was promptly fired, but the book became an international best-seller. The plan started with tying all currencies together in a fixed exchange rate. The author provided the history of such a plan that was first proposed by Hitler. If you want to understand Europe and the common currency, the book is eye opening....Bernard Connolly's "The Rotten Heart of Europe" was re-issued last year with an added introduction for current times.

The old welfare states are running out of money after generations of wealth redistribution, crony labor unions, state ownership and tight regulations of businesses. Obamacare mimics the European model of forcing employers to pay for the welfare state. Those policies ran out most large busnesses years ago in Europe, and per the Wall St Journal study of businesses moving investment overseas last year, it is happening to the US....The annual Index of Economic Freedom cuts through the hype and provides the actual economic reality. France is on par with Portugal, but the arrogant socialists will never give up their sense of superiority.
