I certainly agree with most of the bits and scenarios but this one world government analogy is stretching the skin. When we take a look-see at some of our [America's] own power hungry politicians the amount of rancid and stinking character diversity is abundant, to say the least. Look at Hillary and her dream of a communist nation, Barney Franks’ rip & tear philosophy of capitalism, Obama’s “I’ll lead you to the promised land”, and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed’s edging each other out of the lime-light’s glory. There are just too many hungry politicians, not only in this country but most others on our globe to avoid skirmishes over ideologies.. These kind of people are too self-indulging to allow any type of coalition for very long. So, a one world, one government will not work for the sake and name of GREED, political or materialistic.

Thoughts on Stock piling things, weapons, salt, heirloom seeds, so you can raise your on food, the hybrid seeds saved from year to year will not produce the second year. Make sure you stock pile rope, wire, flint & steel. On stock piling weapons, it is not how large a weapon, but how much ammo you can afford to buy and carry on your person. A 22 caliber rifle is the perfect weapon, light, accurate, ammo is cheap and you can carry several hundred rounds at a time. Will kill game and defend your property.

Gas lanterns, cast iron cook wear, wind up radio & flash lights.

There’s no need to bring in Marxism or to argue that this is an issue between capitalism vs. Marxism. Rather, capitalism fails for the simply reason that it is based on credit economies and the need for unlimited growth. Claims that we need less government, that the government is primarily responsible for increasing money supply, that free markets work, that people will become wealthy if there’s less government, or that government works against big business are all part of neocon propaganda that big business supports. In reality, most of the money supply is created through credit extended by private banks, there are no free markets except markets dominated by big business, government works for and with big business, and the wealth that people talk about is nothing more than fiat currency guaranteed by the same government.

In the end, it’s not just government that we should consider but problems created by big business that either insisted on producing and selling more or playing casino capitalism for greater profits. If you think that the amounts that will be lost due to bailout spending and stimulus packages will be huge, wait till you see what big business is about to lose thanks to virtual financing.

No matter how one defines it, the march to control your every movement, thought, action, etc., is really on. The nationalization of banks, or any other industry, is the definite goal. Nancy Pelosi in some sort of committee was caught sating the word “nationalization” just before this crisis. She quickly backtracked when she realized she had said that word before the public relations campaign had officially started. It has now started officially. Many are using that term as though it is to be expected & as if it is the only possible solution to runaway capitalism. Few calling for these socialist policies are admitting much of our problems came from the very political partisans & radical activist groups who caused much of these problem.
Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech Republic & current six month President of the European Common Market, lived under socialism for fifty years of his life. This man knows what oppression & demoralization really means. He knows how oppressive government running all aspects of life, the economy, political life, social life, & everything else they can get their fingers into, can take someone & make them so depressed & so uninterested in even living life, can be. He has lived it & if you listen to him talk or read one of his books, you will be forever enlightened. You will understand why socialism or Marxism is not the way of individual freedom or liberties for people. Average people always suffer under this kind of governance. Hugo Chavez promised he would better the lives of his people. What he meant was, he would give some scraps to the little people (since there are so many of them in Venezuela), & then use his power to demand MORE power, all the while personally enriching himself & his loyal henchmen. He talked of freedom, but just recently called for the closing of opposition news outlets. They were demoralizing the people & they were spreading untruths about him & his policies. In short, they voiced concerns about what he was doing to the national treasury & he did not want that. So, close the press who speaks out. Now, fast forward to President Obama making mention the other day that Republicans (or others) should not listen to Rush Limbaugh. The same policy or plan, to silence opposition. In short, oppressive socialism or Marxism.
If what Keith Olbermann, or Rachel Maddow, or Chris Matthews, or Al Franken, or Bill Maher, or a host of others, has to say is OK, then why are Rush Limbaugh’s words not to be listened to? What makes his opposition or views different from those of the listed liberals? The answer is, he does not agree & offers a different perspective, so his voice should be silenced so he does not get the rabble upset. We only want people to listen to what we have to say, because “we know what is best & we have the power to make it so!”
Like the stellar track record of government is something we all should stand up & applaud based on its spectacular successes. The fact is, bungling politicians, from BOTH sides of the aisle, have totally screwed up America, whether its financial, legal, immigrant, social, religious, or otherwise. The people had a lot to do with it. BUT, the real affects were imposed on us by an intrusive, abusive, over-reaching government that seeks to run our very lives.
Klaus said recently, “Illiberal ideas are becoming to be formulated, spread and preached under the name of ideologies or “isms”, which have – at least formally and nominally – nothing in common with the old-style, explicit socialism. These ideas are, however, in many respects similar to it. There is always a limiting (or constraining) of human freedom, there is always ambitious social engineering, there is always an immodest ‘enforcement of a good’ by those who are who are self appointed as anointed, on others, against their will, there is always the crowding out of standard democratic methods by alternative political procedures, and there is always the feeling of superiority of intellectuals and of their ambitions.”
In short, once those who “think” they & their idea’s are superior to all else just because “they think they are better & therefore right & therefore entitled to lead, even if by force over others”, always leads to despotic socialistic government that oppresses all & especially those who foolishly thought the despots would treat them better. They always lose out big when the special people finally show the little people they are but mere pawns to be used, abused, & discarded as the superior people decide.
Marxism, socialism, environmentalism, or whatever, it always means oppression & despotic government & the people always end up with the short end of the stick which is always eventually used to beat the people into submission to the those who see themselves as the superior elite!

Here are a few things you may not have heard about it:

1) This is very good for the country as a whole. As The Nation writes, “If enacted, the economic recovery plan will be one of the biggest and boldest pieces of progressive legislation in the past forty years.”1

Here are some facts about what the bill really does:

* Creates or saves 3 million to 4 million jobs in the next two years.2
* Averts “literally hundreds of thousands of teacher layoffs”—and doubles funding for the Department of Education.3
* Creates 500,000 green jobs and doubles our clean energy production.4
* Immediately helps unemployed folks get affordable health insurance.5

Some folks are arguing that it should be bigger, and they’re probably right, but this is the best down payment on economic recovery, and it needs to be passed.

2) The stuff that’s being singled out for criticism amounts to a tiny fraction of the bill—like anti-smoking programs that make up less than one-ten-thousandth of the spending.6 Folks like Dan Denning would have you believe this is the centerpiece of the bill. It is not. This kind of nit-picking is pure politics.

3) If it doesn’t pass, we’re in deep trouble. Even John McCain’s economic adviser estimates that without the stimulus, unemployment would top 11% by 2010, the highest level since the Great Depression.7

We all urgently need to get these facts out before the public. Can Whiskey and Gunpowder help by explaining how the stimulus will affect the majority of people?

Last week alone, 100,000 people lost their jobs in this country.8 Nearly 200 economists from across the political spectrum wrote to Congress to say:
“We do not have the luxury of a lengthy debate over the best course of action. This legislation may not be enough to solve all the economy’s problems, but it is urgently needed and an important step in the right direction.”9

But with so much rhetoric and demagoguery surrounding the bill, it won’t pass unless we can get the real facts out to a wide audience. Will you help?

Certainly, Dan Denning, a specialist in small-cap stocks, who has his base in Melbourne, Australia, hates change. Too bad he ignores the facts.
