Glad to see we are still getting ready for the collapse! Up to 30 pages now. Wonder how many we will have before the collapse actually happens?

Considering the things going on -- it's getting scary .

Seriously though... WHAT is our govt thinking?
For instance......

During voting, Black Panthers violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act by intimidating people going to vote as well as poll workers, and carrying a billy club.

Lawyers at the Justice Dept filed charges against them and have been pursuing actions against them. They even have a strong witness...

A civil rights activist witnessed first-hand the intimidating actions of the men accused. Bartle Bull was a civil rights lawyer in the 1960's in the South and worked on Robert Kennedy's campaign. He gave an affidavit on what he witnessed but somehow the govt did not enter it into the court case.

Recently political appointees at the Justice Dept told the JD lawyers to back off.

Charges were dropped for 2 men and a greatly reduced for the 3rd (he is no longer allowed to display a weapon within 100 feet of a polling place during future elections. He can still bring it, just can't display it).

Quote:
The explanation for moving to dismiss the case is shocking. According to the Department of Justice: "These same Defendants have made no appearance and have filed no pleadings with the Court. Nor have they otherwise raised any other defenses to this action. Therefore, the United States has the right ... to dismiss voluntarily this action against the Defendants." In other words, because the defendants haven't tried to defend themselves, the Justice Department won't punish them.

By that logic, if a murderer doesn't respond to the charges, he should be let free.

From:
EconomicPolicyJournal.com: The Big Collapse Could Be Very Near
The end of the current financial system, as we know it, maybe eminent. If you would have asked me even two weeks ago if collapse was imminent, I would have said it was highly unlikely, now I am saying it is possible. Bernanke may be able to patch things up short-term, if he is lucky, but long term the U.S. financial structure is in serious trouble. There is just too much Treasury debt that needs to be raised. An international panic out of Treasury securities, even a slow controlled panic, means the Fed will be the major buyer. This will ultimately mean record inflation.

And keep this in mind, we have never seen a collapse of a currency like the dollar. Even the Wiemar inflation can not serve as an example. Since the dollar is the reserve currency of most of the world, a panic out of the dollar means more dollars will return to the U.S, shores than any country has ever experienced.

Other countries have had collapsed currencies, but never in the history of world of finance has so much currency been held outside a country of issue that could come flying back, almost on a moments notice. If the panic out of the dollar starts, even if Bernanke stops printing money (unlikely), all the dollars flying back into the U.S. could cause a huge price inflation all on its own.

Oh great - thanks for really scaring us to death.
Seriously though, thanks for the heads up and the article.

So friends, what are your thoughts ......
Are the Feds deliberately setting us up to fall (and fail) so they can more easily accomplish their goals of social programs?
Are the Feds just completely wrong in what they think is the best way to build up America - instead of accomplishing their goals there actions have backfired?
Have liberal "spread the wealth" groups become so powerful that they have simply broken the back of America?
Are the Feds just inept?
Is it all the fault of the American citizen?

The Federal Reserve is still in the hands of the people appointed to manage it in the 1930's...the Rockefeller family.
They recieve a percentage of value for the money that is printed.

They are always out of sinc, out of sight and hence, out of our minds...

With the temporary positive value of the US dollar, great silent investments are being made overseas in safe havens...It's like the laundring of money that will be worthless in a few months...

Our backs are really against the wall...during the Great Depression people would line up at the bank to withdraw their money...and the coffers were empty...

Our money at that time was not sold on the markets and it did not back the incredible dope business of the planet as it does now.

Watch organized crime...the way they will go with their currency will dictate the money of the New World Order...my guess will be the Euro...possibly set up years ago to offset this exact situation...

If not the Euro...then the Ruble or Rinmenbi...both backed by the gold hoards of Russia or China.

Our best bet...We, the poor ignorant suckers...stock pile food...and energy sources for this next winter...

The warnings are coming...the family welfare will come out of a personal larder...

The Russian Famine of 1945/6 cost 30 million lives...saved their seed to plant in the spring and saved the remainder of the country...

Government?
Has been a luxury to the entitled since time began...taxation and only meager services rendered..
