Happy Holidays? 28 Hard Questions It Would Be Great If We Could Get Some Real Answers To

"But we are told that centralized control by an overwhelmingly powerful national government is good in our case because "they" know what is best for us.

Oh really? They sure have done a great job "managing" our economic system, haven't they? Unfortunately, it seems as though anything that the federal government takes control over just gets more messed up.

The following are 28 hard questions that you should ask anyone who believes that having a highly centralized economy and a highly centralized government is good for us...."

Karl Marx wrote this in 1867:

'Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more expensive goods,houses and technology,pushing them to take more and more expensive credits until their debt becomes unbearable. ' The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks which will have to be nationalized,and the state will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism'

"This guide 'When An ill Wind Blows From Afar! (Like from Iran or North Korea!)' deals specifically with radioactive fallout that originated from afar, like a Chernobyl in the past, or Iran in the future that's had its nuclear facilities bombed, releasing radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, or a North Korea gone mad, etc.

Fed Will 'Self Destruct,' Policy 'Deeply Flawed'

The Federal Reserve is “self-destructing” through of its efforts to jump-start the US economy with more monetary easing, Rep. Ron Paul, (R-Texas), told CNBC Monday.

Paul said the Fed’s decision last Wednesday to spend an additional $600 billion in quantitative easing—buying Treasurys to lower interest rates—won't work and will destroy the dollar's value around the world.

Guns And Suicide

Oleg Volk
"Let's examine the idea that removing guns from individual ownership would do anything to reduce suicide rates. We already know that substitution effect happens and people in countries like China and Japan simply find other means to kill themselves. However, US gun-banners maintain that gun suicide is somehow worse than other kinds, so let's consider what kind of weapon is required for a successful suicide.

Generally, only one shot is fired. Any firearm down to a 14th century matchlock would suffice for that. A matchlock can be made with a simple pipe with one end closed with a cap or even left open. In the latter case, more powder or other propellant such as aerosol would be needed but the effect would be much the same.

The projectile has to penetrate very little. If the gun is aimed at the person's eye or ear, there's not even skull bone in the way. Moreover, shots that fail to penetrate the skull would still likely kill by spalling on the inside. So any projectile , from a bullet down to batched stone or even a blank would kill a person who has the gun in contact with the head.

Moreover, the gun doesn't have to be a firearm. A pneumatic nail gun would work as well, as would a bangstick. A crossbow would work just as well. So restricting firearms -- including the obsolete matchlock, flintlock and percussion types would do nothing to reduce the effectiveness of suicides by those who decide to use projectiles to check out.


In other word, anti-gun people think nothing of endangering the lives of millions who want to use firearms for defense under the pretext of reducing the number of suicided -- and they are lying about that excuse, too."

- Taxpayer money for Sri Lankan outsourcing training centers (i.e. to train Sri Lankans how to replace Americans at American jobs).

-Taxpayer money to bus Mexicans into New Mexico for free education.

-Taxpayer money for clean-energy windmill program in China.

-Taxpayer money for minority construction projects (while deliberately excluding white construction workers).

"He's a jackass. He's an economic illiterate. He's an economic ignoramus.” “And that's being charitable.”

Obama said he was not concerned that wealthy people hit by large tax increases would "take their ball and go home," rather than contribute to economic activity.

Unbelievable. You'd better be concerned Hussein. Who do you think you can steal from if they leave?

Chairman Mao was determined to protect his atomic facilities from American air attack and used an effective method learned from Lord Dunmore, Nat Turner, John Brown and Abraham Lincoln. To foment black unrest and uprisings in America, Mao enlisted sympathetic black communists like Robert Williams, a community organizer and NAACP leader who advocated “US Negro liberation” and a black defensive war “in the face of white terrorism.”
