From the page: "Inflation is back -- at the pump, at the grocery store, and in your utility bills. The higher prices you're paying are caused, in large part, by Federal Reserve (FED) money creation. Like counterfeiters, the FED creates money almost out of thin air."

From the page: "Arriving at my hotel room in Montreal recently, I opened my garment bag to discover that the contents, which I had packed with care, had been invaded and left in disarray. Although nothing had been taken, something had been added: a courteously worded flier printed in English on one side and Spanish on the other, titled â€oeNotice of Baggage Inspection.” It was not the first such experience I had endured while traveling, and I enjoyed this one no more than I had enjoyed its predecessors."

From the page: "Led by Dick Cheney, Bush administration neocons want war on Iran. So does the Israeli Lobby, but it doesn't mean they'll get it. Powerful forces in Washington and the Pentagon are opposed and so far have prevailed. Nonetheless, worrisome recent events increase the possibility and must be closely watched.
Recall George Bush's January 10, 2007 address to the nation. He announced the 20,000 troop "surge" and more. "Succeeding in Iraq," he said, "also requires defending its territorial integrity and stabilizing the region in the face of extremist challenges. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing 'terrorists' and 'insurgents' to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt (those) attacks....we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq."
That was then; this is now. On May 3, Andrew Cockburn wrote on CounterPunch: "Six weeks ago, President Bush signed a secret 'finding' authorizing a covert offensive against the Iranian regime that, according to those familiar with its contents, (is) 'unprecedented in its scope.' " The directive permits a range of actions across a broad area costing hundreds of millions with an initial $300 million for starters."

Sometimes governments act so ridiculous that they clarify the true role of the state. Government chiefs claim they want to reduce environmental damage and promote energy conservation, but in practice, they punish people for doing this.

Sometimes you have to take people by the scruff of their necks and stick their noses in something for them to finally see it. Graphic.
