Despite Constitution, FBI Expands Investigative Powers
Hey, fans of the current Prez: Remember when you thought he was going to "change" things so much from the Bush Admin?
Would you like to be consistent and consider the idea that gubment, in the abstract, is designe dto INVADE your rights and urtail them, not protect them? This insight about the nature of gubment tends to lead people away from the idolitry of politicians and point them more in the direction of free association and free markets, for gubment is insulated from competition. Free markets are not.

Swiss Politicians March on Bilderberg, Demand Arrest of Kissenger
This is surprising and encouraging. Kissenger has been part of some of the bloodiest invasions in the 20th century, and the Swiss politicians asking for his arrest also oppose the IMF, World Bank and the EU. Amazing.

Chinese Investment Gurus Say US "Already Defaulting" on Debts
We recently reported to you that the Chinese gubment has dropped 97% of its short-term US debt instruments. We explaiined at the time what could be surmised from that move: Chinese investors know that their TBills will be paid back in worthless Dollars. Well, now that analysis has been confirmed.

And it looks like many Chinese investment firms are starting to drop their long-term debt instruments as well.

American Electric Power Says It Will Close Five Power Plants Due to EPA Reg Costs
Ahh yes, while Australian politicians push the idea that camels should be killed en masse, US politicians and bureaucrats prepare to impose costs of $6 Billion to 8 Billion on coal power plants in order to "stop climate change." Since "climate change' is a garbage term created by the hucksters who tried to sell "global warming" and were rebuffed by temperature data that shows the earth has COOLED since 1998, the shams have used the term "climate change" to impose more regulations and fees on energy supliers and manufacturers. American Electric says it will be forced to shut down at least five plants if the regulations are imposed as planned.

Lack of Buyers May Force Treasury to Raise Rates
Gee, who couldn't have seen this coming? For more on why the US Treasury will, of course, raise rates, please listen to our 8th of June pod covering the sell-off of TBills by the Chinese gubment. They know that the US Dollar is going to fall even more, despite the blather being spouted by the pop media. This is a certainty. Why would anyone want to buy bonds that will pay back in worthless Dollars? As a result, the Treasury will be forced to have to offer higher interest rates, which will, in turn cause problems between it and the FED and the Fed's policy of easy money. Buuuut, the Fed is going to engage in a third round of backdoor inflation simultaneously to the Treasury, which will be "Quantative Easing 3", of the further purchase of US TREASURIES by the Federal Reserve.
Australian Gubment: Kill Camels to Stop "Climate Change"?
So, despite the fact that global temperatures went flat in 1998, the camels must be exterminated.

If there were true private property paradigms in place, and the government weren't involved, we could actually SEE if peoples' interests were being harmed by the camels, and the process to handle it would more closely conform to what people wanted.
But, that's not the way politicians allow people to operate.

FLA Troopers Break Law Themselves, Don't Acknowledge Bill O' Rights
Certain members of the FLA Highway Patrol are not only clueless about the 1st and 4th Amendments, they break the very laws about cell phone use at gas stations that the police are supposed to uphold.

Prez Pledges Your Kids' Cash to Greece
So the gubment of China has already dumped 97% of its US T Bills because they know the bonds will be paid back in worthless paper, and now the feds want to MAKE MORE WORTHLESS PAPER and hand it to the Greek gubment...

SWAT Team Invades Home FOR STUDENT LOAN DEFAULTS
We knew this would be coming. This was done to set an example, because the feds know there are going to be thousands, if not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, who are going to default on their student loans. The feds are trying to intimidate those who would consider defaulting. But that's okay. No warrant was issued to the man and the existence of federal student loans is unconstitutional, but none of that really matters. Anthony Weiner is in the news, and people can talk about that, right?!

At Least 30% of Employers Expect to Drop Health Coverage Due to Fed Med Fascism
Not unexpected. And we know that the fed fine is "low" when compared to the cost of insurance, sooooo, many young individuals who will be left without employer-sponsored plans will undoubtedly NOT get coverage, leaving sicker, higher-risk people in the pool, and increasing costs even further. Can you say, PRICE SPIRAL? It's precisely what happened in many states that forced "guaranteed issue" on companies.

Elderly Woman Scanned and Groped, Interviewed at Airport

SCOTUS Issues BAD Ruling Re Hiring of "Illegal Immigrants"
So here's the deal. There's this Pennsylvania law that lets the state prohibit and issue fines for private companies hiring people who have been deemed "illegal immigrants" by the federal government.
This is, of course, a violation of the US Constitution's CONTRACT CLAUSE, which prohibits states from passing "any law impairing the obligation of contracts." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_Clause) States are not supposed to be able to interfere in private commerce. Simple, isn't it?
China DIVESTS 97% of Its US T Bills
This is some of the most significant news this century. HUGELY IMPORTANT, and the US Prez andSec of State will be scrambling to stop other gubments from doing the same.
It is ineitable now that the Fed will begin Quantitive Easing Three, because NO ONE WILL BUY US T BILLS! This is the start of some very, very bad mojo.

Gubment Admits It Will Lose $14 BILLION From Auto Bailouts
But.. But... We were told GM was turning a profit... Oh, that's INCLUDING the gubment bailout money!
As we noted in our audio about "quantitative easing", when politicians like Judd Gregg told people the TARP and auto bailouts were "investments", people might have wanted to note that INVESTMENTS are doin VOLUNTARILY. What was done by people like Gregg and others is called THEFT.

Man Detained for Video Recording Baltimore Rail
Despite the fact that there is no statute making it a crime, he is approached by police and told to stop. When he does not, they shift over to the wiretap law, to tell him they have not given him permission to record their voices. Of course, he was alone, and THEY APPROACHED him, knowing that he was recording, so their permission was implicit.
The wiretap law is being used more and more to try to prevent people from recording police engaging in erroneous and nefarious activity. It has nothing to do with wiretapping and everything to do with preventing the public from seeing cops at their worst.
The man recording things, although at times intimidated, held his ground, and was smart about how he handled the cops. They detained him without charge.
Anyone Surprised? Sen. Juddy Gregg Joins Goldman "TARP King" Sachs
It's too bad we don't have a tag for VENALITY. This is the same man who pushed the TARP bailout and others, a lot of which went to, yeah, you got it... GOLDMAN SACHS.
Incredible. Actually, no, not incredible, completely credible, completely fitting for a man who portrayed himself as a conservative, "small government" guy but promoted things like the Patriot Act, federal cameras under the ocean to give kids TV views of seacoast life, and million Dollar grants to Plymouth State University (NH) for a Meterology Wing named after, yeah, you got it, JUDDY GREGG.
Pending Home Sales drop to 7 Mo low
Anyone surprised?
Of course, the past few weeks saw the pop media trying to massage the data and make it look like the economy was 'recovering', when it wasn't. One wonders if they'll devote all the time and energy to reporting this that they did last week to fudging the numbers on things like employment and housing.
