A current White House official explicitly endorses one of the greatest tyrannical butchers in the history of the world, and the main stream media is silent (surprise, surprise).  I think we had better move that moral doomsday clock forward.

It is now 11:57:00.

If you don’t know Peter Schiff, his against-the-flow prediction of the present crisis, and his views on the economy, you have to watch this.  Even if you have already listened to Schiff, the interview is great fun.

Interesting and somewhat surprising.  An AT&T/Yahoo Poll in progress has the following results so far. 

“Q. The president’s progress with the battered economy has been both praised and criticized. How well are his efforts measuring up with you?

Extremely well. We are undoubtedly moving in the right direction.	19%
Fairly well. There’s still a long way to go.	14%
Not well at all. His plans are hurting more than helping.	65%
Not sure/No opinion.	2%

79205 votes”

Unfortunately, I can’t link directly to the poll or it’s results.  The link pulls up a java window or something.  Of course, this is not a scientific poll, but it is ineteresting nonetheless.  I did not think we would see any wavering among the faithful this early in the game.

If you value liberty, you have to see this powerful video of Adam Kokesh.

Peter Schiff was literally laughed at by other analysts in 2006 for his dire economic predictions.  Of course, he was right.  So why is the media giving him less air time now?  This interview of Peter Schiff by Time Magazine explores that question. 

Wow.  The cost of “bailing out” the present economy is already up to six times the value of all of the gold in existence since the time of Christ.

At last count, the Federal Reserve and the government have either lent, guaranteed or spent $12.8 trillion in their efforts to get the economy back on track. We know that these numbers  lose their significance after a while and it’s hard to relate to them but we’ll try…

You may remember a couple of years ago when a study was done by two respected economists estimating that the total cost of the Iraq war would eventually reach $2 trillion. At the time, people were shocked. But compared to the nearly $13 trillion for the economy, the Iraq war expenses now seem small in comparison.

Looking at it another way, the value of all the gold in existence since the time of Christ is currently worth about $2 trillion. In other words, just the costs to bail out the economy and nothing else, like Social Security, military, infrastructure, is so far going to be more than six times all of the gold that’s been produced over the past 2000 years. (Just last December the cost was three times, which illustrates how quickly the costs have multiplied over the past five months.)

That is the cost.  And what do we get for our “money” (I use the term loosely)?  A soon-to-be-worthless fiat currency, devalued savings, redistributed wealth, more crony-capitalism, fascism, legal plunder, socialism, war, and the destruction of what little was left of the free market.

The World Health Organization estimates that a child dies every 30 seconds from malaria, and acknowledges that this is largely preventable by the judicious use of DDT.  Yet, it still concludes that the unknown costs of DDT use outweigh the known benefits.  Hmm..

Greg Gutfeld asks the question in this interesting video.  If so, why isn’t he being criticized for it (not that he should be, not that “homophobe” is an applicable term)?
