China Downgrades US Debt

- Cut long term US sovereign rating one notch to A+ from AA, with a negative outlook.

- "The serious defects in the U.S. economy will lead to long-term recession and fundamentally lower the national solvency. The credit crisis is far from over in the United States and the U.S. economy will be in a long-term recession. In essence, the U.S. government's move to devalue the dollar indicates its solvency is on the brink of collapse"

Soros Bets On U.S. Financial Collapse

“This is the type of stuff we accused the communist and socialist governments of doing—interfering in free markets through currency manipulation,” declared Zubi Diamond, author of The Wizards of Wall Street. “What the Fed is doing is not good for free market capitalism and it is not good for America.”

In an interview with Accuracy in Media, Diamond went on to say, “The Fed is following the economic models of Third World countries by printing more money and devaluing their currencies. If you keep doing what Third World economies do, eventually you will become a Third World economy.”

Dinner With The Militia

"The story of a female grad student who aspires to do refugee work with children in war torn countries, who is a daughter, a girlfriend, a friend, and is also a member of the local militia, might sound strange to most. Once you understand the truth about militias, my life doesn’t seem strange at all"

Japanese And Americans

"The samurai used to bear arms always, for defense and to have a choice about their own future. They could die fighting, if they so wished, to avoid capture. An unarmed person, posing little threat to his would-be captors, has no such option.

........is an example of one of many situations in which having an option to fight and either prevail or, at least, choose the manner of your own death would be helpful. It would apply to freelance kidnappingas as well as to the offical kind. Bearing a sidearm doesn't guarantee safety but it does offer more control over own destiny than not doing so.

Unfortunately, the insistence of our government agencies that anyone entering their buildings be unarmed suggests that they know it and hate the concept. In short, anyone who wants another innocent person disarmed has to have ill intentions in mind. Same applies to people who insist that 'you don't need a gun, I am here to protect you': they are either outright predators or wish to make another forcibly dependent on them for safety."
