How the US Government Created the 'Drug Problem' in the USA

"The bottom line on this whole business has not yet been written."

Dr. Sidney Gottlieb
CIA Technical Services Staff director for the MK-ULTRA program

Eighteenth-century German philosopher Georg Friedrich Hegel long ago developed, among other things, what he called the principle of "thesis, antithesis, synthesis" to explain the process of deliberately enacted social disorder and change as a road to power. To achieve a desired result, one deliberately creates a situation ("thesis,") devises a "solution," to solve the "problems" created by that situation ("antithesis,") with the final result being the ultimate goal of more power and control ("synthesis.") It is unsurprising Karl Marx and his disciples like Lenin and Trotsky, as well as the US government in its so-called War On Drugs, made this process a keystone of their drive for total control of all individual actions that, in their views, were not, in Mussolini s terms, "inside the state" and thus controllable by the same.

John Galt | 1-3-6 Treasury Bill Alert: WOW! By John Galt January 10, 2010 Gang that is an unreal sight to behold but the 1-3-6 Treasuries which you know this site monitors persistently is telling us quite a bit: DURATION……….YIELD 1 Month……………….. 0.01% 3 Month………………..0.03% 6 Month………………..0.13%** **-Record LOW yield for this maturity. With the surge in volume into the gold contract, massive drop in the US Dollar Index today and the ongoing rumblings about a second stimulus, health care bill and cap and trade legislative ideas being tossed about the USD is poised to tank as billions of dollars are reconfirming a concern about a return of capital as opposed to a return on their investment. For all practical purposes those maturities have a negative yield when you use the BLS own CPI of 0.4% thus it does not take rocket science to confirm what the Main Street participants said in the article posted below this one and why foreigners do not trust this nation at this point in time: The United States is NOT a stable place for long term investing at this time. Tonight I’ll post part 2 of the Obamarket Special as some family events delayed my finishing it last night (sorry, I am married ya’ know). I’m sure I will have more to add about the 1-3-6 yields and the evolving situation in our equity and bond markets. One last thing folks; ignore the earnings reports and look at the last 4 years worth of revenue figures and that should tell you more about the status of our economy and this hope and change recovery than anything else. I fear that the revenue numbers on the top line will be disturbing, just like Lennar’s which I posted several days ago. http://johngaltfla.com/blog3/2010/01/11/1-3-6-treasury-bill-alert-wow/

Everyone on Wall Street is fixated on The Number.

The bank bonus season, that annual rite of big money and bigger egos, begins in earnest this week, and it looks as if it will be one of the largest and most controversial blowouts the industry has ever seen.

Can the Government Keep Us Safe?

by Andrew P. Napolitano
LewRockwell.com

What a week we have all just endured! While the Democrats were re-writing the federal takeover of healthcare behind closed doors, the public face of the federal government was fixated on denying and then explaining all the gaps in its intelligence gathering. The Obama administration has been finger-pointing over who in the government let a murderous thug on a plane in Amsterdam that he tried to explode over Detroit. First, the government said that the system worked. Then the President said it didn’t. Then he announced that the intelligence communities and security people would start to talk to each other so the bad guys could be kept out. Weren’t they supposed to be doing this all along?

It May Be Financially Irresponsible to Pay Your Mortgage

by Karen De Coster
LewRockwell.com

Roger Lowenstein has written one of the best articles I have read on the topic: walking away from your house. The prominent author and journalist published a January 7, 2010 article in the New York Times with the headline, “Walk Away From Your Mortgage!” Lowenstein acknowledges that it may be financially careless for homeowners who are upside down on their mortgage to keep paying it in order to hang onto a fantasy of ownership and avoid the shame of default. In this article, Lowenstein’s subject is the borrower who can afford to pay the mortgage but considers opting out for reasons of financial benefit and survival. This is referred to as a strategic default.

[Note: Letter written to Rick Warren on January 3, 2010—The next time you discuss the issue of abortion with anyone (including President Obama), would you please tell them that in The Holy Bible, God clearly states that He hates the shedding of innocent blood, and that He said BEFORE He formed us in the womb He knew us. That means that if President Obama’s mother had aborted him, she would have been killing someone already known to God as Barack Obama, NOT just a blob of tissue that might later become Barack Obama.

*****2010 Food Crisis for Dummies***** http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/12/2010-food-crisis-for-dummies.html If you read any economic, financial, or political analysis for 2010 that doesn’t mention the food shortage looming next year, throw it in the trash, as it is worthless. There is overwhelming, undeniable evidence that the world will run out of food next year. When this happens, the resulting triple digit food inflation will lead panicking central banks around the world to dump their foreign reserves to appreciate their currencies and lower the cost of food imports, causing the collapse of the dollar, the treasury market, derivative markets, and the global financial system. The US will experience economic disintegration.
