Let’s see how I do with the list.

• Fast And Furious (guns for drug lords, resulting in murder of Americans and Mexicans)
• Robosigning (over 100,000 perjured affidavits filed in court cases)
• IRS Tea Party and other group and individual abuse in direct violation of the law (politically-based harassment and now apparently-perjured testimony before Congress)
• Money Laundering for terrorists and drug lords (by multiple large banks)
• Intentional and unlawful destruction of property rights (GM bondholders screwed for political cronies in the UAW)
• Intentional and unlawful destruction of your saved wealth (QE, QE2, QE3, QEinfinity, $1 trillion+ deficits, etc; Treasury and Federal Reserve actions)
• Benghazi (apparent illegal arming of terrorists, then an attempt to reverse that leading to the attack on our CIA outpost and what appears to beintentional indifference and orders to stand down during the attack that had to come from the White House despite ability to respond; this amounts to conspiracy with the terrorists to kill Chris Stevens and the others who died.)
• Swindles by the billions in countless schemes during the 2000s related to securitizations and other hinky deals (where despite black letter legal requirements for actual endorsement and delivery of documents banks simply did not comply and now argue there should be no penalty for not having done so, and that these defects are “mere procedural errors” despite intent to not comply.)  The result is that our land title system no longer has any resemblance of integrity.

• Intentional destruction of anything approaching a “free market” for health care going back 30+ years and now compounded through active conspiracy by Obama and all of the political parties to grant, protect and enforce through government monopolies and cost-shifting resulting in cost escalations of 500-1,000% or even more against market prices and now, with Obamacare, abuse of the IRS tax power to force another 100% or more increase in those expenses down your throat for the express purpose of enrichment of those in the medical industry.

I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch, but this is a good start.

What do all these (and more) have in common?

Your refusal, as Americans, to stand and demand that The Rule of Law be restored and honored and that those who refuse to do so be impeached (if in government) and stand trial for their abuses.

I keep hearing people ask when I, or someone else, will “lead” on this issue.

Why do you ask where the leader is?

Do you want a Hitler?  You’re going to get one if you keep that shit up.

We the people do not need “leaders” to resolve this.

We all need to personally grow a pair of balls to replace that vacuum between our legs (or nestled in our pelvis where our ovaries are supposed to be.)

We need to get off our fat asses and stop demanding that someone else take care of what is our job as citizens of this nation.

You do not have the right to health care.

You do not have the right to a job.

You do not have the right to go to college.

You do not have the right to a house.

You do not have the right to food.

You do have the right to effort to generate some form of economic activity by your own hand and mind for yourself and those who you have as dependents through your own actions, such as your children (who exist because of your actions – your exercise of the power to create life.)  You may then expend the fruits of that economic activity as you see fit because such is your property; you earned it through an honest exchange with another.

You do have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit (but not guarantee of attainment) of happiness.  This means that all of the above — every single one of those abuses that have been served upon you — are unlawful.

But those three rights only exist so long as you will stand and defend them.  A person is a victim only until he or she gives consent.  

Put a different way: The only difference between sex and rape is consent. 

As soon as you consent to the frauds and abuses heaped upon you they cease to be frauds and abuses and become part of a sick sado-masochistic ritual you have willingly taken upon yourself.

They remain so until you stand and demand that it stop, backing that demand with whatever defensive force is necessary to stop what has now become rape rather than sex.

It is for that reason that I am an absolutist on where the Second Amendment’s boundaries lie.  It is impossible as a matter of logic for me or anyone else to depend on someone else to stop a criminal who intends to take my life or that of those in my care, irrespective of how we would otherwise design such a social system.  By definition the first person able and often the only person able to stop such an assault is the victim that the perpetrator intends to assault or kill.  It matters not whether the assailant is an individual thug, a pair of thugs, an organized gang or a government agency.

The bottom line is the same; your right to life only exists so long as you are willing and able to defend it.

The same bottom line exists for liberty and the offense against it that is delineated in most of the above list; you have such a right only so long as you are willing to defend it.  The minute you cede that right you have consented to what you are experiencing and you lose the right to bitch about it until and unless you stand and take back that which God gave you.

This is basic logic and as soon as you cede basic logic you inevitably lose every other point of argument.  In this case when you lose those arguments you risk losing your life and/or liberty; you are literally risking death or enslavement.

Since 2007 I have written on these matters in the economic realm and laid forth arithmetic proving that what has been done is not an accident but rather is a swindle.  It is not a new swindle either; it is in fact one of the oldest in the history books, rivaling only prostitution in age.  Arithmetic is not subject to debate; you can choose to overlook it but you cannot change it.

Those of you who seek leaders are fools; each of you should lead for yourself and confine that leadership to yourself and your life along with those dependent upon you through acts of your own free choice, enjoying or suffering the consequences of those choices.

Your right to lead in that regard ends as soon as you demand that someone else pay for whatever it is that you want to acquire or suffer as a consequence of your actions and inactions, whether it be food, shelter, education, health care or anything else.

The first principle behind The Declaration is that we are a nation governed by laws, not men, with each such law that is valid and enforceable being able to be tied back all the way to The Declaration through The Constitution.

The Declaration sets forth the reason why although rights are absolute societies organize governments — it is for the purpose of providing a framework of laws to enforce those rights and punish violators.  Absent that you have only the law of the jungle, where the individual with the biggest teeth, claws and body mass wins while everything else is food.

That is what you have in the absence of the rule of law, and that is what we have collectively and individually allowed to occur in this country.  All of the above has occurred because we have regressed to The Law of the Jungle from The Rule of Law.

We either stop it or we will be consumed by it.

What happens when you sit back silently and allow criminal behavior to go unpunished?

You get more of it.

Tea Party leaders refused to accept an apology from the IRS Friday in which the agency acknowledged that it inappropriately flagged conservative groups for additional review during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.

Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, said she wants to see resignations over what she called the “disturbing, illegal and outrageous abuse of government power.”

Resignations?

How about some fucking indictments?

“The House will investigate”, says Cantor.  Sure it will.  Like it has investigated Benghazi?  Even after acknowledging that the narrative given the people was an utter fiction we’re still pussyfooting around that issue and the dead Americans it produced.

Further, the IRS originally lied in that it claimed there was no such targeting. Just like the FBI lied when they said they had no contact with the Boston Bombers, and it was only when their families disclosed to the media irrefutable evidence that the FBI was bullshitting did they come clean.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said “the fact that Americans were targeted by the IRS because of their political beliefs is unconscionable.”

No Darrell, it’s unconstitutional and thus unlawful.

Just like bilking people with hinky deals on mortgage bonds is illegal — that’s criminal fraud.

It is also unlawful to back-date deposits so as to make a bank look more sound than it is.  People lost real money because of that scam and the agency involved, the OTS, had people who did it previously during the S&L crisis.  Not only were they not prosecuted that time they weren’t prosecuted this time either.

Unlawful bill collection tactics are, as the name implies, illegal.

So is filing knowingly perjured documents in courtrooms to take people’s houses, which happened over 100,000 admitted times.

So is money laundering in the hundreds of millions of dollars for drug gangs by American banks.

So is knowingly allowing the delivery of thousands of guns to drug runners who intend to, and do, deliver them across the border into Mexico for the purpose of murdering people.

Instead of prosecuting any of this you Darrell, along with Boehner and the rest of you clowns allow The Fed and Treasury to reward the banksters who did this, screwing the American public blind, letting them get shot with guns provided by the government and paid for with laundered money run by the very same banksters — and exactly none of the people responsible for any of this crap have gone to jail.

WHERE ARE THE DAMNED INDICTMENTS ALONG WITH BILLS OF CONTEMPT AND IMPEACHMENT?

I’ve been warning people that all is not well in the world.

This morning I’m standing on the red button.

We are, right here and now, sitting on key support for copper.  If it fails, and given the pattern I believe it will, we’re going under $3 and could see an all-on crash in copper prices.

Why is this important?  Because it’s a measure of industrial demand — that is, industrial production on a global basis.

Europe is a damned basket case.  That their markets haven’t collapsed are testament to the litany of lies promulgated by central bankers and politicians.  But lies only are effective for a while and always eventually lose their luster.

Portugal is out of money.  Spain’s pension system is effectively all in Spanish government debt; zero diversity.  Ireland’s banking system, along with most of the rest of the continent, is about to roll over again and the idiots over in Europe, just as here, refused to force their banks to take the bogus leverage and swap crap out and shoot it after 2008.  Politics trumped arithmetic — for a while.

But politics never wins over arithmetic in the end; it is a poor substitute for fact.

There will be more intervention — that much is a certainty.  But note that even big companies like P&G are now extending payment for suppliers; the firm now wants 75 days to pay.  What happened to 2% 10, Net 30?  I’ll tell you what happened to it – it disappeared in a puff of bogus accounting games and “machined” earnings.  When huge corporations start playing this game the end of the line has arrived.

Buried in that article is a nasty little ditty — major companies are now taking 60-100 days to pay.  That’s outrageous.

What’s worse is the so-called “earnings surprises and beats.”  Never-mentioned is the fact that companies have been buying back stock like crazy over the last few years, often with borrowed money rather than operating earnings.  That is, they’re increasing leverage and then so-called “analysts” are screaming about how “cheap” their stock is.  In a word: 

Now we have a problem.  The economy has rolled over in Europe and they are locked in a deep recession fed by Germany and to a lesser extent France — nations desperate to prevent their banks from being exposed as grossly insolvent.  The ECB is going along with this because it has more worthless bonds in the kitty than its capital, which means that it is insolvent too.

The premise that Bernanke and the ECB have run is that low rates and “QE” style games will prompt a “recovery.”  Five years+ into this mess that is now known factually to be a blown thesis!

But admitting the truth means accepting that we have in fact been in a grossly ugly recessionary — or even depression — environment for the last five years that has been intentionally and fraudulently covered up by artificially low rates, market distortions and deficit spending enabled by the chief drug pushers themselves.  The political implications of doing that are unacceptable, so it doesn’t happen.  Not here, not there.

It’s not helped by the fact that “new math” doesn’t bother to explain how exponents work in the real world despite the fact that every single 8th grader in the world should instantly recognize that the games being played both can’t and aren’t working.

China stoked their idiocy with ridiculous building for which there is no demand.  All of that was fueled with cheap credit too, which is even easier to make happen in a communist nation.  But the economic “expansion” that enabled this to happen without the BS ball going up and exploding is now slowing down as the weight of this lending presses its thumb on the scale.  Within the next year or two that bubble should burst with catastrophic consequences.  Never mind the internal and demographic problems.

Japan, for its part, thought it could “QE” its way to prosperity.  The irony is that they have thought this for 20 years and it has failed.  Their “big experiment” will also fail; their problems are structural and attempting to evade the decisions of 20 years previous in turning their banks into zombies — exactly as we’re doing here and Europe is doing there – cannot be backed out of the equation.  There is a small element of panic showing up over in Japan already and that’s likely to grow.

Add to all of this the quiet repeal of the STOCK act here in America a few days ago.  That’s right — while America was watching people get their legs blown off in Boston our Congress made legal once again insider trading by…. Congress.  The “debate” over this change took a literal 10 seconds in the Senate and a whole 14 in the House.  Neither chamber bothered with debate at all; it was passed by unanimous consent in both chambers.

All of those who claim to stand for transparency and proper government, including the man who I publicly supported for Congress in Michigan — Kerry Bentivolio: Go fuck yourselves.  This is exactly the reason that nobody should respect any member of Congress, ever, period.   Unanimous consent means just that – each and every member of Congress stands guilty of not only accepting but explicitly supporting insider trading by Congress.

One final fact: Artificially-low interest rates actually hurt lending.  Why would you lend someone your capital for less than a reasonable return?  There’s only way you’d do that — if someone else was backstopping your supposed “lending.”  That’s what printing credit is all about if you’re “too big to fail”, but the fact of the matter is that the cost comes out of everyone’s pocket and as a result real firms with real prospects for real performance are shortchanged and those who would either be lenders at a market rate of return refuse to engage in the market.

Worse, those with good ideas refuse to hire and build businesses because those people, who actually can perform basic arithmetic and understand exponents, know they will get hammered to pay the bills for those who got uneconomic loans and will not be able to pay.  

In this environment actual economic growth is factually impossible.

“Here it comes.”

How come we can’t nail this evil woman for violating the Sherman Act?

Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $100,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $1,000,000, or by imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or by both said punishments, in the discretion of the court.

Yep.  Time for handcuffs.  Why?

PHOENIX – Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed legislation Friday that would have allowed individuals to shop around for the best price on health-care needs, saying there are technical problems with the proposal.

The legislation by Sen. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, would have put hospitals and doctors in the same position as retailers: They would have to give customers an opportunity to learn what certain procedures will cost before they show up in a waiting room.

That would have included both a requirement for online posting and making a price list available on-site.

Yep.  A good law requiring that you have the right to know what something costs before you agree to it was vetoed by the Governor of Arizona.

Barto called the veto “an insult.”

I say it ought to be a felony for all of the firms in Arizona to not post said prices, and all those who conspire to keep that from being part and parcel of your daily life in Arizona should be exposed to prosecution and imprisonment for their part in that.

This now includes Governor Brewer.

And listen to this – the governor’s press aide admitted that one of the reasons for the veto was in fact a deliberate decision to fix prices!

Gubernatorial press aide Matthew Benson said the veto is totally unrelated to Barto’s opposition to the Medicaid plan. He said there were “technical concerns.”

Among those, Benson said, is that hospitals do not have one flat rate they charge for procedures. He said different charges apply depending on whether the patient is paying his or her own bill, has coverage from an insurance company that has negotiated a discount or is a Medicaid patient.

There you have it — a raw admission that hospitals screw people “at will” — their charges vary not on the complexity or procedure performed but rather simply on how you pay and this is part of how they engage in that price-fixing.

We the people need to demand handcuffs.
