A Day In The Life Of A “Homegrown Terrorist”

There was a time when having one’s name listed in the despised ranks of those villains that governments often categorize as “terrorists” involved quite a bit of leg work, as well as an ominous running resume of death, destruction, and general mean spiritedness. Of course, if one examines the history of every modern country which eventually disintegrated into despotism, the definition of who the “enemy” is tends to become rather broad rather quickly. That is to say, the more criminal the leadership of a country becomes, the easier it is for the average person to find himself labeled a criminal by that same leadership.

Today, one does not need to blow up buildings, take hostages in political motivation, send anthrax through the mail, or even wave a gun around in a public place to be considered a terrorist threat. In fact, a man could never leave his house and still find himself under suspicion as an enemy of the state. The Department of Homeland Security has released numerous standardized guidelines to law enforcement offices across the country which are meant to make it “easier” for police and others to identify a possible terrorist. If you were to take at face value such documents as the now famous MIAC Report, the Virginia Fusion Center Report, the DHS’ “see something, say something” campaign, the Enemy Belligerents Act, the post trial statements of the Department Of Justice in the Liberty Dollar case, or the wild spewing rhetoric of establishment mouthpiece organizations like the SPLC, then you would discover that a likely terrorist is:

Anyone who talks frequently about the Constitution, or ill of the government

Anyone who supports the idea of a Constitutional Militia

Anyone who fights against anti-gun legislation, or owns many guns (man do we LOVE guns)

Anyone who supports state sovereignty and 10th Amendment issues

Anyone who supports Ron Paul (the ultimate sin according to the SPLC)

Anyone who believes the private Federal Reserve is destroying our economy

Anyone who talks about the “New World Order”, or global government (does this include men like George Soros, Joseph Biden, Gordon Brown, Henry Kissinger, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Strobe Talbot, George McGovern, Mikhail Gorbachev, Richard Nixon, etc.?)

Anyone who discusses economic collapse as a reality in the U.S.

Anyone who speaks out against the IRS

Anyone who participates in “Hacktivism” (including those who leak documents embarrassing to government)

Anyone who participates in any form of activist group

Anyone who argues that the Left/Right political paradigm is a scam

Anyone who promotes Anarchist views

Anyone who distrusts FEMA (as if Katrina did not give us ample reasons)

Anyone who believes a truly independent investigation of 9/11 is rational and called for

Anyone who home schools their children

Anyone who flies a Gadsden Flag

Anyone who stores survival goods and food

Anyone who uses shortwave radios or HAMs

Anyone who watches movies like ‘Freedom to Fascism’, with anti-Fed messages

Anyone who operates private barter and trade networks

Anyone who stores gold and silver or uses them as an alternative to the dollar

Basically, ANYONE who dissents through independent political organization or protests through non-participation in the corrupt system might as well be Al Qaeda…

Here you go Ez. Some fuel for ya bro.

Aussie dollar boosted by its own 'gold standard'

The gold price is hitting new all-time highs on a daily basis because many investors have lost faith in paper money. They believe that central bank printing presses are devaluing currencies on a daily basis.

It is the same lack of belief in paper money that has been boosting the Aussie dollar. Paper money used to be backed by gold held in a central bank, but this was abandoned all over the world, allowing central banks to print money via processes such as quantitative easing.

Today, no currency in the world is on the gold standard – all money is “fiat” money.

However, Australia has significant resources of gold, uranium, iron ore, coal and many other important and valuable commodities. They are in the ground, not in a central bank, but this is the nearest thing the world has to the old gold standard. That’s why the Australian currency is so strong.

The same is also true of currencies in Canada, South Africa and Russia. They are effectively backed by commodities in the ground.

We are in the middle of a commodities supercycle, fuelled by an awakening China. However, the mining industry is cyclical – and commodity prices will eventually fall.

When this happens the Aussie dollar is likely to fall. In 1986, when the oil price tumbled to $10 a barrel, the shock for Saudi Arabia was significant. But Australia’s strength s the diversity of raw materials it possesses.

Commodity prices will fall – and the Aussie dollar along with it. But it won’t be for some time yet

Real Value of property fell 197.4% since 2001

It is assumed the highest value of property was reached around the 2006/2007 mark. When people ask me the direction of property prices it was one of the harder elements within the economy to predict. The reason for this is because there are two primary forces effecting the price. One is the obvious inflation built into the very nature of our economy as explained here, and it was this factor that made decisions like predicting the price of gold/silver and just about any commodity of a limited supply easy in the fact it would naturally require more money to purchase as the money supply was increased and so we could see it was going to go up in price.

However although property is a tangible asset of which there is a limited supply and so you would expect it to react in a like manner to other commodity’s, you have to consider the human element within the economy which most economist are pig ignorant of. Because it does not matter how much money is being printed, if that money is not in the hands of the general public and is instead consolidated into the hands of shareholders, traders, bankers and cash sitting in hedge funds, then regardless of inflation the price of property will only ever reach the maximum the critical mass of the population can afford. But then you may argue but those who are filthy rich who have this consolidated wealth will buy the property as an investment and rent it out and thus their buying will push the price up in accord with inflation? Of which it can temporarily but the rent charged will also be subject to an upper limit of what the critical mass of the population can afford, so there is a way to increase house prices artificially and that would be for these institutions and wealthy individuals to buy property and then leave it vacant because no one can afford to buy it or rent it, and this is indeed happening, there are many vacant property’s all left on the books of banks and even individuals not being put on the market so they do not make a loss and thus can keep the value of their portfolio artificially high, and yet this is an illusionary high it has no value behind it.

However even with this false attempt to prop up property prices they have indeed been falling dramatically in value since 2001 at which I call the actual top in the value of the property market unlike the commonly accepted 2006/7.

Price and value are different things you price a thing to provide it with its assumed value however what you price it in (public credit) is not a fixed constant like gold or silver but a fluctuating one which is the dollar or the pound or euro or whatever. And so all these fluctuating weights and measure create smoke and mirrors so you cannot grasp whats actually happening. So lets remove some of that smoke and mirrors for you with regards to property price and use the UK as an example. Using figures from the nationwide building society for inflation adjusted house price. Medium price in 2001 was £129,796 and in 2011 £172,426 source here. But now lets look at the commodity price index for the same time period, the commodity price index which is a fixed-weight index or average of selected commodity prices designed to be representative of the broad commodity asset class.

So heres the commodity price index chart from 2001 to 2011

Thats a 229.66% increase which we can thank to the fractional reserve banking system, oh if you want another way to look at it it can be seen as a 229.66% decrease in the value of your time and energy the value of your labor and work because thats where the profit comes from as you are in the end the only source of real value within the economy your time and energy not any tangible asset as explained here. But I digress so let me get back on point with house value as previously stated house prices in 2001 was £129,796 and in 2011 £172,426 a percentage increase of of 32.3% however if we measure the house price against the average commodity out there we get 229.66% – 32.3% = 197.4% decrease in the actual value not price in a property.

And even still this drop is being artificially slowed down, by the mechanism previously mentioned so when these property’s are finally put on the market at prices people can afford we will likely see a huge drop in value of some 100/200% again, however the force of inflation will also be intensifying at a similar rate so I predict house prices not value will only slowly drop or stay constant whilst so I hope you can see that the real prediction here is that property value will continue to be destroyed.

I grow alot of my own stuff, and store the seeds, tastes much better.

Do you have a nuclear bunker?

Some of those are "NOM NOM NOM". Though my favorite of all time was back before they came out with the current ones the old "Pork with rice in BBQ sauce". Could eat that all day long.
