The 130 year old Posse Comitatus Act is dead.

Some Americans have seen this coming. 5,000 troops are already here. Here is the Washington "post" article on the new story.

From Gard:

I was visiting www.repairmanjack.com, the official website for author F. Paul Wilson, and noticed a very good post by "Webby". It tied into something I heard on a talk radio station out of Boston. Here is the essence of what I wrote at repairmanjack.com...

"I heard that the police at the hotel attack were nearly powerless, because they were unarmed. The people visiting were unarmed. But, of course, the attackers were going to conform to the strict Indian gun control laws, just to be fair...

As many Conspirators know, Stephen Smith has a great gift for explaining free markets and defending liberty. At his website, he has just posted a good piece on a "gold standard", and it is a great way to introduce neophytes to the principles that support the argument in favor of specie currency.

Big thanks to Manuel Lora for grabbing this from LewRockwell.com, and passing it on!

You will find this stunning, enlightening, and a bad harbinger for US economics.

Remember when Gard and others on his show were talking about how daft if was for Bernanke to be saying that the "financial crisis was isolated only to the housing markets"? Remember how that might have inspired you to think that Bernanke was a dangerous man in a dangerous position?

Yep. You were right.

NOW Benny is saying he might've been wrong. Duh.

You can take the test, too (thanks to Webby, a visitor to www.repairmanjack.com, who discovered the quiz). There ARE some areas where one might quibble with the premises of the question, but on the whole, it's a good bit of fun.

Here is the piece, posted late last night by Yahoo News.

The link to the ISI website is inside the article. Take a look!

If anyone had been cold-clocked in the head, and was wondering what approach Obama would take on the money supply, government intervention in the free market, and special favors for "special" interests, he prob-o-ly got his answers yesterday, when Barry named a guy called Geithner to be the next Secretary of the Treasahhhhhh (as the P-Funk All Stars put it). Not a good sign.

... it's from, of all places, the "Christian Science Monitor"!

Big thanks to Wayne, for spotting this!

As many Conspirators know, the non-declaration of "War" by Congress was just what Bush wanted. It was also unconstitutional, and should have forced Bush to try those captured under US Criminal Code, and with Habeas Corpus hearings.

Just watch the video of the commercial embedded in the site! Oh, man!

Despite all the jerry-rigging by the feds, the stock market continues to drop. SO WE'D BETTER FLOOD IT WITH MORE USELESS MONEY!

And for those of you who know Obamistas, or whatever the supporters are called, ask them about this information:

We'll let you know later tonight about Ian. Go to www.freetalklive.com for more information, and to www.nhfree.com to get updates.

Here's the story on the Auto Bailout (part 2): http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/17/news/companies/gm_showdown/?postversion=...

And here is a nice little piece on Treasuuuuure Sec Paulsen!

Seems Sen Inhoff isn't happy with Hank.

Gard has this all covered in his latest broadcast!

Grab it!

First order of business: Gardner thanks all of you who have sent cards and e-mails, messages in facebook, and who visited the memorial service in honor of his mom. It was a terrific gathering, and went off smoothly. All who attended showed great affection for a great woman. Thank you.

Now, onto the fight against gubment oppression and economic sophistry!

Take a look at this one, kids. And enjoy the fruits of your labor while the politicians plan things with what you make! Hank Paulsen is your FRIEND, FRIEND.... Remember that now.

Take a look at this, from Bloomberg. Gard referred to it on the latest podcast (11-10-08).

Here is the opening of the text:

" Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve is refusing to identify the recipients of almost $2 trillion of emergency loans from American taxpayers or the troubled assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.

Here is the link to an excellent piece, published in "Investor's Business Daily":

Executive orders are routinely used by Presidents to give them the ability to enact de-facto laws without Congress bothering with all that untidy stuff of actually PASSING laws, and without that burdensome document... Hmm, what was it called? I seem to remember, but I was hanging out with Hamilton Bergeron's parents. Oh yeah, the CONSTITUTION!

If you can, check out Selgin's "Less Than Zero", a keen work on the benefits of a free banking system that would see productivity gains actually leading to increases in the value of money. published a few years ago.

Here is his take on a recent debate, one regarding how much Alan Greenspan is to blame for the financial crisis...

And there's so much more! Remember as you read that there are already laws on the books to handle potential fraud. This is not about fraud. It's mostly about scapegoating, trying to turn attention away from the US government policies and politicians that inspired Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Reserve, the so-called "Ownership Society" and the Community Reinvestment Act. But it's still a goofy example of the unintended consequences of government policy.

Take a gander: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081106/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/meltdown_who_pays

Yes, "we" can, folks.

"America has come so far, we have seen so much, but there's so much more to do..."

Barack Obama has beaten the "Constitutional Scholar". What can we expect from the coming administration?

With the help of an even more powerful Democrat party in Congress, Obama plans on nationalizing the last remnants of the health care industry that aren't already under federal control.

Evidently, John McCain is going to request that he "share the wealth" when it comes to electoral college votes!
