Al Gore Caught Lying About Climate Info Once More
This is beautiful.
SFCC, Al. SFCC.
(We're sure you remember that, Al. It's the title of a song by The Mentors. You and your wife really liked to talk about it at the PMRC hearings in the late 1980s.)

Harry Reid Compares Opponents of Fascist Gubment Healthcare to Pro-slavery Politicians
Of course, since we're all enslaved by people like Reid, through the artifice of "representative democracy", his fever dream is particularly ironic.

Wildlife Advocates Decry US Policy to Use Helicopters in a Roundup of Wild Horses
Maybe, just maybe, what the advocates might consider is ELIMINATING the federal lands, and letting the horse population grow and be protected by private interests like theirs. They TRULY care, don't they?
If there is human interest, or potential for human profit and use, there is a market for protection.

Thanks to Illegitimate Supreme Court Decision, EPA Now Ready to Regulate CO2 in America
OK. So we've covered over and over how CO2 has been shown not to be the drive in increased global temps, but that increases in global CO2 FOLLOW increases in global temp. Then there's the fact that the data pushing the IPCC has been shown to have been tweaked by people at the UK college of East Anglia. Yet, thanks to members of the Supreme Court who don't challenge real assumptions, the EPA is now ready to regulate CO2 emissions. They won't need a Congressional bill; they won't need a "treaty", they can just... do it, as Nike said years ago.
NYT Runs A Screen for DC on "Profit" from TARP -- WHICH IS STILL A LOSS
Incredible. They're still 100 Billion in the hole, and they continue to tell people they're in positive territory. Gard will comment on this in his upcoming audio.

Australian Parliament Kills Global Warming "Cap n' Trade" Nonsense
Goodonya, mate!
This spells a bit of trouble for the Obama-Gore crowd and their hysterical drive to unconstitutionally impose limits on the amount of energy people use.

More Smoke and Mirrors from the Fed: They Plan to Sell "Bonds", but Call Them Something Else
Leave it to the Fed to "solve" inflation by creating more.

Obama Admin Moves to "Ease" Terms of Home Loans - Which Will Inspire...
...fewer home loans being available in the long run, as FEE's Sheldon Richman has noted.
As you read this piece, please note that the bankrupt Fannie Mae was given special "power" (and money) to bail out troubled "homeowners" (ie mortgage loan recipients) starting in January of 2009. Since that time, with billions spent, 57% of those homeowners who were "troubled" have defaulted on their loans, and the year is not yet done. In addition, with policies such as these, the government is preventing home prices from falling to more closely reflect their true value. This is a recipe for disaster, and, oh yeah, it's unconstitutional, if any of those politicians care.
UN "Climate Deal" Will Force "Rich Nations" to Cough-Up Billions for "Poor Nations"
Check out this first paragraph from the AP:
"NEW YORK – Money on the table — perhaps $10 billion a year or more — could help close a deal in Denmark next month and keep climate talks moving toward a new global treaty in 2010. But if poorer nations see too little offered up front, the U.N. conference could end in discord."
Goodness! Gosh! One would NEVER want to see DISCORD when it comes to the theft of private property (one's earnings)! Let thievery reign!
Here is the rest of the piece:

Happy Thanksgiving to Those Who Uphold the Concepts of Individual Liberty, Private Property, and Free Markets
As we did last year, we now offer a copy of the great piece about Thanksgiving, originally produced by the Foundation for Economic Education (www.fee.org). As Bradford mentions, the Platonic (socialist) approach was a failure in Plymouth. Only the introduction of private property and market exchange allowed the Pilgrims to survive and prosper.
Enjoy the day, and debate with a socialist today to spread the word!

More Banks in Trouble - FDIC Still Bankrupt - No Kidding!
Yup. See... That nutty FDIC thing inspires reckless loans (please look at the housing bubble in the late Eighties, early Nineties, which was inspired by an increase in the "insurance" offered to banks by the FDIC and FSLC).
And now, they need more of your money and the buying power of your dollar to "fix" the problem. Cute, huh?

Mirage "Recovery" GDP Numbers from Last Quarter Were, As Predicted Here, Wrong
Now, how could we have predicted that the gubment would overstate its case?
And remember, the vast majority of the inceased spending came from temporary infusions of gubment-seized money and gubment debt. Not a path towards increased economic prosperity...

MONTHS After Free Market Economists Reported It, NYT Says: "Mountain of Federal Debt" Exists.
As Radio Birdman says: "What gives, what gives, what gives, what ya gonna do?"
How about ask the NYT editorial staff to actually pay attention to free market economists?
Wishful thinking, we know!
Please note how the NYT injects a subtle mention of rationing by the gubment. Rationing? But that's just scaremongering by libertarians!

Gold Continues to Surge as Confidence in Dollar Declines (And Gubment Debt and Spending Climbs)
There's this term...
Um...
Oh, yeah. "DUH."
Wait until the mirage recovery dampens demand for gold, and then the effects of inflation start showing up in a few quarters. Hope you got gold now, or you will get some during the brief moderating period to come. But this moderation period could be swept aside if the feds pass the medical fascism plan. All bets are off then for how high gold will rise (as well as other precious metals).

Geithner Gets Slammed As Audit the Fed Amendment to Financial Services Bill Passes in Committee
Funny thing about this. When CNBC reported on the story, their 8.5 minute report/discussion didn't even cover the Audit the Fed amendment. It only centered on whether it was "appropriate" to be so critical of Geithner. Incredible.
