Hey, they are passing out tinfoil hats at Utah's statehouse. More to come. Stock up on gold, silver, and tinfoil. Shortages ahead. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/04/utah-house-passes-recognizing-gold-silver-legal-tender/?test=latestnews

Two good pieces here. Now if we could just convince Brian the root evil is the FED- maybe he'd lighten up on the good doctor. http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2011/03/03/this-is-what-happens-when-youre-ruled-by-people-who-dont-pump-their-own-gas/

How I Passed My U.S. Citizenship Test: By Keeping the Right Answers to Myself March 4: Don Coxe Weekly Conference Call Chart: The REAL Unemployment Rate Charts , Economics , Personal Finance Mar 04 2011 The U-3 unemployment rate is the monthly headline number. The U-6 unemployment rate is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) broadest unemployment measure, including short-term discouraged and other marginally-attached workers as well as those forced to work part-time because they cannot find full-time employment. Shadowstats also calculates its own unemployment rate by counting the long-term class of discouraged workers that were excluded from the ‘system’ when the gov’t revised its methodology in 1994.

Oh what I wouldn't have given to tackle a lefty law breaker maker. It almost makes me want to suit and show up in Wisconsin- free of charge. Governor Walker, can I tackle the next piece of shit? Love to see the Packers D Line sworn in as troopers. That would be sweet. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110304/ts_yblog_thelookout/cops-tackle-lawmaker-amid-layoff-threats-detention-order-tensions-still-running-high-in-wisconsin Had to replay the video twice. I need the clothes in my office? WTF?? Did they quit making clothes in Illinois? Pussy.

Many years ago, in my hometown of Butte, Mt., I loved to read a syndicated column every morning. The writer was a guy named Mike Royko. I often laughed out loud when Royko cracked wise about crooked politics in some faraway land called "Chicago." Royko was your typical big city lefty, spending his evenings in some joint called Billy Goat Tavern. I loved Royko's smart assed writing. And I suppose in some sense, he is one of my heroes. I think Royko would have loved blogging. No owners, no editors, and the ability to write any fucking thing we want to. In fact I'm sure- he would have loved it. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/730719.html Royko had a high school education. That was back when a high school education was just a shade better than an online bachelor's degree or roughly equivalent to a four year degree at private college. They even flunked people back then. Shitty students were left behind. Unbelievably, we saw that as a good thing. Mike Ro

How do I write here and there? I don't know. I just accept it. It's the yin and yang that is my life. It keeps me sane. http://realemotionalfreedom.blogspot.com/2011/03/1241-days.html

This is an opinion piece from the New York Times. It pretty much encapsulates what has been happening in the silver market. The most fascinating part of this is the absolute inability or unwillingness of the CFTC to take any kind of action against big banks and position limits. Read CO-OPTED here. The good guys have the evidence, they have called the CFTC's bluff, and yet not one thing ever happens. Your government masters serve banker interests, not yours. That is clearly evident. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/02/a-conspiracy-with-a-silver-lining/?hp

Over forty four million people on food stamps. Does that sound like a recovery to you? Who are you gonna believe- us or your lying eyes?  http://www.zerohedge.com/article/charles-ponzi-day-we-celebrate-another-all-time-record-food-stamp-usage?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zerohedge%2Ffeed+%28zero+hedge+-+on+a+long+enough+timeline%2C+the+survival+rate+for+everyone+drops+to+zero%29 Who benefits when the Bernank prints? Do you think all that funny money trickles down to the working stiffs? Of course not. Let me simplify this. The banks and the bankers are broke. They are desperately trying to recapitalize their zombie banking system with bullshit and mirrors. It ain't working for anybody but Wall Street. They steal that funny money. The rest of you can eat cake. Here's your food stamp card, courtesy of JP Morgan.

One of the big knocks on Ron Paul is his aversion to military spending. People, particularly the right, love to paint Paul as some anti-patriot. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ron Paul knows that the FED and Central Bankers everywhere love war. They love to finance war. Wars satisfy their greed and fuel the debt driven money supply. Full scale engagements consume gobs of hardware, fuel, and they keep soldiers and suppliers employed. The military complex/budget is a banker buffet. In short, war is the perfect solution for bankers.War has gotten us out of depressions. It worked for Germany twice, it has worked for us. The problem with war is that real people die. Soldiers are sold this patriotic bullshit about dying for their country. Yet you don't see many sons and daughters of the banking elite, nor the elite in general, sending their kids off to be patriots. In the end, I can't escape the awful truth that a segment of our society- and we all know which segment th

I am feeling sleep deprived. I started googling all of Obama's recess appointments and I found this. WTF?  http://scaredmonkeys.com/2010/12/15/obamas-latest-appointee-czar-jon-bon-jovi-america-really-is-living-on-a-prayer/ If you think that is nuts wait until you see Obama's new Personal Training and Fitness Czar. This guy has first dibs. http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/now_at_nine/white-house-flies-in-personal-trainer We are fucking doomed. Buy silver.

Crappy and desperate Presidents generally cannot get re-elected after having wasted 4 years passing shitty legislation, ignoring the law, and taking vacations. So don't laugh when I tell you that if gas blasts by the 5 buck a gallon barrier...I would not rule out the possibility of fuel stamps. What better way to buy votes and funnel dough to JP Morgan?  (Yes, they make those food stamp cards but I can't figure out how much they make...) In this alternate universe, I wouldn't put anything past these clowns. Or Bozo. Even Belfast considered a plan for "fuel poverty."  http://minutes.belfastcity.gov.uk/%28S%28fonuhh45rjfx3qa5qg1ag355%29%29/mgAi.aspx?ID=8656

It just never ends. Now a shortage in platinum and palladium. Buy now or get priced out. Only 1800 bucks an ounce. Thirty ounces of this gets you a brand new Cadillac. And you thought pot was expensive? http://www.kitco.com/reports/KitcoNews20110301AS_lonmin.html

I usually don't like to comment on TV and movies stars. I usually find them rather superficial. Yet, the other morning I paused and watched Charlie Sheen on a morning TV interview. He was in the middle of some hateful rant and claimed to be a "warlock." He was vowing some sort of waged battle against the people who had dumped him from his TV show- which I have never watched. Tonight, the cops came to his house and grabbed his kids. More stuff from a former porn star girlfriend. http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Charlie-Sheen-ex-to-current-girlfriend-goddesses:-Run---See-video/7989066 I feel sorry for Charlie Sheen. He is no monster. What I saw on TV for about a minute or so, I have seen and heard thousands of times. I saw a drug or alcohol addiction or both- with no spiritual solution. Just another bum on the wrong bus. This level of unconsciousness is hard to fathom from people who have never been there. They simply cannot understand the disease. They cannot understa

I just had to clip this piece. Ok, now put your thinking caps on. We're talking about a guy with an M.I.T. degree here and perfect S.A.T. scores. Try to follow along dunderheads. Here goes: But he acknowledged that if higher prices persist, inflation could become a serious risk. "Sustained rises in the prices of oil or other commodities would represent a threat both to economic growth and to overall price stability," he said. This is why you should have stayed in school. So you can say intelligent shit like Bernanke does. http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/01/news/economy/bernanke_senate_testimony/index.htm

I just had to steal this from WilliamBanzai7. The anti-christ, Hank Paulson. Excellent.

This is the brainiac who sang the Super Bowl National Anthem. Somehow, shit always seems to make sense in the end. http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/amplifier/88568/christina-aguilera-out-train-wrecks-britney-spears-by-getting-arrested/

Well for those of you who haven't been watching, silver gained 30% in a month. Gold is hitting all time highs. And as usual, the idiots on CNBC and Chairsatan, just can't understand why. So much bullshit- so little time. BTFD is a moniker for "buy the fucking dip." Gold and silver have an inverse relationship to our worthless currency. The more Bernanke is forced to print and devalue the currency- the higher the demand price will go for gold and silver. Here is my big macro view as simply as I can state it. Bernanke cannot stop printing. Once he does there will be a stock market implosion. Commodity prices will sink. Keep 25% of your powder dry. If QE is halted in June, hang onto your ass. The market will go into absolute free fall. As commodity prices head down, buy that dip. Until then, just average in. For me, I buy 30 ounces a month. I don't care what the price is. Here then are the other fundamental reasons for buying gold and silver. I am not going t

I have always had an "intense dislike" for Kennedy. Anyone else would have went to prison for a 10 year stretch for manslaughter. (Mary Jo Kopechne) In fact, the Kennedys' actually paid off the grieving Kopechne family to the tune of about half a million or so. Our two tiered criminal justice system surfaced in the '60's. Not surprised by this story at all. Not surprised either- that it was released after his death. RIP you POS. http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/KennedyBrothel/2011/02/28/id/387765?s=al&promo_code=BC50-1

In the months leading up to the housing collapse, Peter Schiff appeared many times on CNBC. Time and time again he warned viewers of the imminent housing collapse and the banking collapse. For his efforts and his truth telling style, he was ridiculed by virtually everyone who interviewed him. That went on as I recall- for about two years. I viewed most of it. After the implosion, even Ben Stein apologized to Schiff. Why do people ridicule Schiff? No man is able to see the truth when his entire livelihood depends on him not believing the truth. If you've got 7 minutes to tee up this video- please watch it. And remember Schiff was right last time- this video is eerily reminiscent of what he said in 2006 and 2007. Pay special attention to our female interviewer as she tries to pin Schiff down by asking him the precise time of the dollar collapse. Nobody could possibly know that, but it doesn't stop these harpies from using it to chip away at his credibility. No shortage of cheap

Well after three years of writing, seems some others are starting to catch on. I hope it won't take another three years for people to figure out they work for the FED. They own this fucking place and they own you. I consider President Obama's inaction no less criminal or culpable than that of the criminal banking cabal. Thanks to naked capitalism... http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/02/guest-post-the-financial-industry-has-become-so-politically-powerful-that-it-is-able-to-inhibit-the-normal-process-of-justice-and-law-enforcement.html

I live in a world of entertainment. A world that wants to have a good time, to be entertained. A world where people think nothing of spending 1500 dollars on a college bowl game. Thousands on a super bowl game. Or watch actors get up on a stage and accept little trophies and make grateful speeches. None of them ever mentions the gobs of money they made. They never touch on that. Maybe they are not really so grateful after all. I live in a world where people don't just need entertaining events and distractions- they rely on them. Television, computers, Ipods, cellphones, video games. A world where people go to the movies, go to concerts, go to the gym. We buy toys, motorcycles, boats, and airplanes to distract ourselves, to try new things we say. We live in a world where we worship entertainers. We worship singers, dancers, actors. We have fantasies with those actors, we make love to them. We covet them. We want to be like them. That is what matters to many of us. It entertains ou

Publius Huldah is an excellent blog. Jim at Conservatives on Fire gave me the tip. This week's rendition is excellent. The enumerated powers of Congress were constrained and limited. Congress had no authority to create the vast bureaucracies that they have. Bureaucracies- that are drowning us. http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/why-the-balanced-budget-amendment-is-the-worst-idea-ever/

By this time next week, we will be viewing the watered down version of budget cuts. In a nutshell, much adieu about nothing. Sorry Tea Party. You can't have a crusade with spineless crusaders. The Democrats amidst their "the economy will come to an end" drivel and bullshit- will ensure once again that Congress has no political might to take the extreme measures that are called for. They simply cannot do it. They are incapable of performing their jobs. Here's the sad truth. Not only will Congress end up with some superficial rendition of budget cuts, but nobody in America will care. You cannot make people care until they feel some pain. Real pain. Obviously we are no where near that threshold yet. The government does not shut down if they can't agree on a budget. Oh sure a few parks close but everything else continues and even the Park Rangers will get back pay. I've seen this before. I am praying for the following things. Five dollar gas, doubling of f
