Drones in America: Where's the outrage?
I have been writing in this column about the government’s use of drones and challenging their constitutionality. I once asked on air what Thomas Jefferson would have done if – had drones existed at the time – King George III had sent drones to peer inside the bedroom windows of Monticello. I suspect that Jefferson and his household would have trained their muskets on the drones and taken them down. I offer this historical anachronism as a hypothetical only, not as one who is urging the use of violence against the government.

Collapse At Hand
"...the US government’s decision to bail out the banks and to keep them afloat, and the Federal Reserve’s zero interest rate policy have put the economic future of the US and its currency in an untenable and dangerous position."

Spain Warns of Credit Freeze
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Spain's Treasury minister appealed to European leaders for financial support Tuesday, saying the country's credit markets are seizing up.
The yield on Spain's 10-year bond has been flirting dangerously close to the 7% mark that smacks of default anxiety. Over the past week, the 10-year yield has been at its highest level since November.
"The risk premium says Spain doesn't have the market door open," said Montoro. "The risk premium says that as a state we have a problem in accessing markets, when we need to refinance our debt."
Economists estimate that the Spanish government has about €800 billion in outstanding debt.

Record Number of Phd Recipients on Food Stamps

Record number of Phd recipients on food stamps
This news may be a little stale, but the message is still eye-opening to say the least. If public actually looked at what's being swept under the rug as meaningless information about USA, Inc., I suspect they'd be horrified by what they saw. This obscure headline is just another reason why Jim's statement of QE to infinity is totally correct.
Headline: Record number of Phd recipients on food stamps
Headline: Record number of Phd recipients on food stamps
Right now we have a record number of Phd recipients on food stamps and other forms of welfare. From 2007 to 2010, the number of PhD recipients receiving entitlements has tripled to 33,655 and the number of master’s degree holders on food stamps and other forms of welfare nearly tripled during that same time period to 293,029, according to an Urban Institute study cited by the Chronicle of Higher Education. This is shocking and I imagine its not what comes to mind when most people think of welfare recipients. This study proves that having multiple degrees doesn't guarantee financial success, especially when you consider the high cost of college and a move by Republicans Tuesday to block a Democratic bill to preserve low interest rates for millions of college students' loans. The Democratic bill would keep interest rates for subsidized Stafford loans at 3.4% for an additional year, rater than doubling automatically for new loans starting July 1

‘Human barcode’ could make society more organized, but invades privacy, civil liberties
Would you barcode your baby?
Microchip implants have become standard practice for our pets, but have been a tougher sell when it comes to the idea of putting them in people.
Science fiction author Elizabeth Moon last week rekindled the debate on whether it's a good idea to "barcode" infants at birth in an interview on a BBC radio program.

Jamie Dimon And The Fall Of Nations
– when elites are held in check, typically by effective legal mechanisms, everyone else in society does much better and sustained economic growth becomes possible. But powerful people – kings, barons, industrialists, bankers – work long and hard to relax the constraints on their actions. And when they succeed, the effects are not just redistribution toward themselves but also an undermining of economic growth and often a tearing at the fabric of society.

Fiscal Cliff, Debt Ceiling Cast Dark Cloud Over Market Outlook

The Debt Ceiling debate is worse than it was last year. Europe is worse, China is slowing, and the U.S. economy is no great shakes. Baring a miracle improvement overseas there's nothing to save America from itself.

Mark of the Beast: Bilderberg Pushes Mandatory Internet ID for Europe
This big brother system will be implemented in Europe first and later pushed in North America and the remainder of the globe, as the world is nudged step by step towards a total cashless control grid in the name of ‘safe, verifiable commerce,’ and of course, in the name of “security.”
In the case of Europe, special emphasis is placed in part on “establishing a truly functioning single market” — part of the larger EU goal even now floundering.

Agenda 21′s Globalist Death Plan for Humanity

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. // The real enemy then is humanity itself. - From the Club of Rome's "The First Global Revolution" p. 75 1993

Waiting for Panic In Equities

Signs of panic in technology-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index often foreshadow tradable bottoms in equities. Statistically significant spikes in the TRIN, price relative to the trend, and pull/call help quantify and define it (chart 1). Once these signals have been generated, patient investors will wait for the emergence of positive divergences between price and energy before acting decisively

Alderman Proposes Stopping Milwaukee’s Water Fluoridation Program
http://localtvwiti.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/05-fluoride-in-milwaukee-statement2.doc
Milwaukee Alderman Jim Bohl is proposing legislation to stop the city’s fluoridation program.
Bohl’s proposal is based on new research which shows fluoride delivers health risks without benefit of less tooth decay. Bohl said in a statement released Tuesday morning, May 22nd, this “water fluoridation obsolete, unhealthy and a waste of money, and that is why I introduced legislation calling for the end of Milwaukee’s water fluoridation program.”

Lou Dobbs Mystified as to Why Obama-birth is Taboo amoung Republicans and the Media
http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/lou-dobbs-mystified-by-obama-birth-taboo/
..Lou Dobbs says he’s mystified by an apparent “taboo” Republicans and the national media have as they continue to bury any question or news story probing the eligibility of Barack Obama to be president of the United States...
I am equally confused as to why this isn't a bigger issue in the US today...Our Constitution requires the President of the United States to be a "Natural Born" citizen...it's the law of the land....how can this happen? The question about this has been there all along but not pursued by the Government, the Republican Party or the news media?
