It's official: The Council on Foreign Relations now calls the US dollar a "historical anomaly," a "piece of paper of no intrinsic merit."

Check it out - straight from the horse's mouth.

I've taken the liberty of coming up with a list of very specific things that I would do if I were US President...

• End all combat operations, in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere
• Bring those troops home and station them at the border (80% at the US-Mexico border, 20% at the US-Canada border)
• Place a permanent cap on military spending during times of peace (or undeclared war)
• Implement a GST (Goods & Services Tax), a national sales tax of 5% on all discretionary consumption goods
• Eliminate income taxes for incomes of $30,000 or less per year
• Institute a flat 20% income tax on all income exceeding $30,000
• Institute a 25% tax on gasoline and diesel fuel, to encourage the development of alternative technologies
• Give the US Treasury legal authority to produce silver coins and certificates
• Create a public education campaign on the benefits of using silver as opposed to Federal Reserve Notes as money
• Create a 3-year program for phasing out the legal tender status of Federal Reserve Notes and the Federal Reserve itself
• Give the federal government the authority to finance itself directly by issuing US Treasury bonds (denominated in silver dollars) rather than by borrowing from the Federal Reserve
• After the use of Federal Reserve Notes is phased out, finance the entire national debt using 30-year US Treasury bonds denominated in silver dollars
  
• Create a system of transfer payments between the states, where rich states give a small percentage of their tax revenue to poor states
• Create a 3-year program to move medicare, social security, and prescription drug coverage to the state level
• Eliminate the DEA and all anti-drug legislation, legalizing all drugs from cocaine to marijuana
• Eliminate the national minimum drinking age
• Get rid of the FDA and FCC
• Revamp the government statistics program so that official statistics are realistic again
• Create a federal (public) TV + radio station, with a clear mandate to provide balanced journalism, that competes with the private networks (like the CBC in Canada)
  
• Start a 10-year plan to develop an interstate rail system similar to the interstate highway system
• Deliver a state of the union speech with the sole purpose of telling the truth to the American people
• The speech would discuss false-flag attacks, the US constitution, the Federal Reserve, secret societies (CFR, Bilderberg, etc.), and who owns the private media
• The speech would conclude with, "My fellow Americans, we have nothing to fear but fear itself."

Of course, by the time I get to the silver stuff, I'd probably be assassinated, or some odd scandal would come up that would force me to resign, or I'd be impeached. Power always does what it wants folks. The owners of America would never allow any US President to do what I just stated.

I was reading the article about it on Wikipedia and came across several interesting things. But before I go into that, here's what Wikipedia has to say about the Georgia Guidestones:

"The Georgia Guidestones are a huge granite artifact in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. It is sometimes referred to as the "American Stonehenge"^[1], a title which has been applied at times to a number of other structures."

So, as I mentioned earlier, I found a few interesting things in the article...

1. It was erected on March 22, 1980. March 22! ... 322! That's the number used by Skull & Bones. These people are obsessed with numerology!
2. It was written in several ancient languages including Sanskrit, Babylonian, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs! At this point, it became clear what the intent was. It was to make a monument that could be unearthed and understood by future archaeologists. Like the Rosetta Stone. It's an archaeological artifact meant for future civilizations.
   
3. The stones themselves weight about 42,000 lbs each and are astronomically aligned. Why the astronomical alignment? Well, because future civilizations will be able to tell the time when the monument was erected by using past star alignments, in the same way that the Great Pyramid was found to be about 10,000 years old based on its astronomical alignment.

Clearly, the purpose of the Georgia Guidestones is to send a message into the future - several millennia into the future in fact.

So what is the message? It is this...

The emperor has no clothes! The emperor has no clothes!

The collapse of Freddie & Fannie is the admission of the insolvency of two companies together holding about $5 trillion...
$5 TRILLION
in mortgages.

$5 trillion amounts to about 35% of US GDP, and about 50% of the US public debt!

We're talking about 35% of the entire US possibly being insolvent!

Here's a revealing video of what could happen now...

Need I say more?

I'm going to be as blunt as possible by putting several important historical truths in point form. These are all facts.

WARNING: You may be deeply disturbed by what I'm about to say. But I'll say it anyway.

1. Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, is quoted as saying, "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation."
2. The United States of America is a British private corporation. All US courts have a gold-fringed flag to indicate maritime admiralty (the law of the sea). Maritime admiralty is a system of international laws governing international commerce (done by merchants). ("mer"="sea" in French)
   
3. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on April 5, 1933, issued an executive order requiring all American citizens to turn over their gold bullion to the Federal Reserve, or be subjected to a $10,000 fine. He enforced this executive order even though it was not in his jurisdiction to do so (executive orders only apply to persons in the US federal government).
4. The attacks of Pearl Harbor were aided by the US government. Not only did US officials have prior knowledge of the attack, they let it happen, so that it could be used as a pretext to enter World War II.
   
5. The sinking of the Lusitania in WWI was a staged event. It was done in order to gain public support for the US entering World War I.
6. The dropping of not one but two atomic bombs on Japanese civilians, authorized by Harry Truman in World War II, was an act of genocide by the United States of America. Japan had already surrendered.
   
7. The Vietnam War lasted 16 years, resulted in 58,000 American casualties, and over 1 million Vietnamese civilian deaths. It was a worse genocide than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined, and neared the magnitude of the Holocaust.
8. Henry Kissinger often referred to military men as "dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy."
9. The twin towers of the World Trade Center, along with WTC 7, were demolished in a controlled fashion using thermite on September 11, 2001.
   
10. Rudolph Giuliani hired a private company after 9/11 to carry away all molten metal debris from ground zero to private, guarded trash dumps so that no investigation could be carried out into what actually caused the buildings to collapse.
    
11. Dick Cheney ordered NORAD to stand down on September 11, 2001, while the attacks were taking place.
12. When asked to testify before the 9/11 commission, George W. Bush insisted that he testify only together with Dick Cheney (not separately).
    
13. The air near ground zero was unsafe to breathe on 9/11 and as a consequence thousands NYC citizens are experiencing respiratory illnesses. However, the EPA has consistently denied any link between the air quality after 9/11 and these illnesses.
14. The Gulf of Tonkin incident during the Vietnam War was a staged event, just like the Lusitania, and just like Pearl Harbor. It was used to justify an escalation of the Vietnam War because the public's approval of the war was vanishing.
    
15. George W. Bush received a warning stating "Bin Laden determined to attack in the United States," a few months before 9/11.
16. In 1972, Chester M. Pierce, a Professor at Harvard University, stated: "Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being. It's up to you, teachers, to make all of these sick children well by creating the international child of the future."
17. David Rockefeller stated in 1991: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
18. Under the Treaty of Lisbon, the EU is officially a sovereign entity, with a privately-owned Central Bank, a European Court, a Parliament, and a President. The EU has its own flag, anthem, and currency.
19. The British Crown owns and directs almost all of the world's wealth. The current system of global commerce (a.k.a. globalization) is entirely set up and controlled by the British Crown.
20. Osama bin Laden remains at large. He is on dialysis and presumed dead, yet videos of him still surface occasionally.
    

To be continued...

Remember how, before its collapse, Enron was driving up energy prices in California through unregulated futures trading?

Remember how traders at Enron cheered every time a transformer burned out or every time there were forest fires?

Well, try applying this idea to oil. How do you control the oil market? If you make a country politically unstable to shut off its oil supply, what happens to the oil price?

This is exactly what Iraq was about. It was NOT about gaining access to "highly valuable" oil supplies. It was NOT about finding those weapons of mass destruction. It was NOT about Iraqi freedom!

It was about DESTROYING oil supply in order to drive up oil prices!

Just like Enron, the cartel controlling oil which included Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, and the Carlyle Group, decided it was time to boost profits for their little share of the oil industry by creating events which would lead to a rise in oil prices.

Think about it: Bush & Cheney live off-grid, independent of oil. In fact, they're some of the "greenest" individuals in America! There's a good reason for this, and it has nothing to do with peak oil. It has everything to do with the fact that they knew that they would cause an oil price spike of gigantic proportions and they simply didn't want to be paying those high prices. I mean, what good is a rising investment if you then have to pay more for the things you need?

Right now, for example, the price of oil is significantly higher than all other commodities. It's out of sync. The gold-to-oil ratio which has traditionally stayed around 15, is now below 7! Oil is at a ridiculously high price even when priced in gold! That cannot be explained by inflation alone.

Even more puzzling is the fact that oil supplies have remained flat or declining since about 2003. Now, you could say peak oil has arrived, but I think far more likely is that supply has been deliberately kept at that level. Why? First of all, peak oil theory does not predict a flat line longer than about a year. The current flat-lining for 5+ years is HIGHLY atypical of peak oil. Second, look at Venezuela's internal oil prices. They are ridiculously low! This indicates Venezuela is not exporting as much oil as it could be. Look at China, which is subsidizing the cost of oil without a problem. There seems to be plenty of oil to go around, but somehow it does not reach the global market. The PRIME reason for the flat oil supply in the past 5 years is NOT peak oil! It is political instability! Iraq's oil supply has dropped significantly since the invasion. And Venezuela (since the arrival of Chavez) has had its supply fall off as well. By "supply" I mean the amount of oil reaching the global market. We have a situation which is much more like the oil shocks of the 1970s than a global peak in oil production.

So now, naturally, Bush & Cheney are talking about invading Iran. McCain is even singing about it! There's a good reason for this. Iran has a fairly large oil reserve that is coming to market rather undisturbed right now. If they could go in there and f**k things up (to use Cheney's language), oil would go through the roof!

So there you have it folks, a perfectly logical explanation for why oil prices are so high, and why America's increasingly getting bogged down in unnecessary wars. Much of America's military involvement in the world right now is related to cornering the oil market.

In the long run, though, this strategy will backfire for the oil industry. Why? Because when enough people stop consuming oil, the price will crash and the price will end up LOWER than where it started because demand has been destroyed. The massive stockpiles of oil will then be revealed and rapidly released into the market, driving prices even lower. So, they may be able to game the system for now, but sooner or later the system will be gaming THEM.

Aside: Have you noticed Alan Greenspan going to the Saudis telling them to de-peg their currency from the dollar? Why would he want to do that? Do you think he has ANY concern for the Saudis' financial well-being? I think he just wanted the Saudis to get into trouble with the US so that the Saudi oil supply would be disrupted, driving up oil prices even more. There seems to be a lot of sabotage going on if you look for it, where agents of the US government (like Alan Greenspan) are going around trying to deliberately get the US into trouble with other countries.

I stumbled upon a file I wrote when I was only 12 years old when I coded a DOS game called Galawar (downloadable here!). I had an insane amount of computer knowledge back then:

This is me, sometime in 1999...
==============================================================================
-----     ***             What is protected mode?         ***     ------------
==============================================================================

     Protected mode isn't even close to a mode of security as you might think.
In fact, it is very different than that! Protected mode is a mode of your
CPU, where it can access(by using 24-bit memory addresses) a bigger amount of
memory than the usual 640 KB or less of conventional memory. Conventional
memory was the first memory to work with the 8086 and 8088 processors. Before
that, there was only 64 KB of memory or less to work with. Can you imagine?
Now, with the introduction of the 286 processor, we entered the world of
megabytes. The maximum amount of memory a 286 processor could have accessed
using protected mode was 16 MB. Protected mode was enabled and is enabled still
by the most common driver, HIMEM.SYS. It enables access to the High memory area
which can exceed the old 640 KB limit.

     Galawar uses the 386 processor which has some enhancements. It can access
memory using the virtual x86 mode, which is a mode that can simulate memory
through the hard disk using a page file(when there is not enough memory it
automatically swaps out some data to the hard disk. This is called A20 line
control and is enabled by HIMEM.SYS). Galawar uses the 32-bit enhancement
of the 386 processor to enable faster processing and, therefore, larger data
to go with the 16 MB of memory which can be accessed. 32-bit operating can't
be used on a 286 processor which wasn't a 32-bit processor. That's why, even
though Galawar uses protected mode compatible with the 286, Galawar needs a
386 processor to run.

     Protected mode is divided into two categories of memory, which can each
equal a maximum of 16 MB per block. The first and fastest kind is XMS memory,
which Galawar uses. Galawar could have used EMS memory, the second kind, but
it is a lot slower because it is divided into small handles. Each handle can't
be bigger than 16 KB. That's why, instead of using EMS memory, Galawar turned
back to the old conventional memory, which is somewhat faster than EMS memory
because it allows 64 KB handles. Also, Galawar simplified its requirements
because it would have wanted the EMM386 driver installed too, which can cause
real trouble in interaction with XMS memory. By the way, XMS memory can have
handle sizes up to 16 MB, in increments of 32 KB!

     Galawar hates Windows of any version because it uses too much processor
time(25% up to 50%) and because it uses too much memory. If you run Windows
in 386 Enhanced mode be careful because the memory might be in a page file and
Galawar could slow down a lot. Use DOS instead!(THIS DOESN'T REALLY MATTER
ON A PENTIUM OR PENTIUM II/III PROCESSOR).

     So, now I hope you know what protected mode is and why Galawar needs the
386 processor. You can impress your parents with this as well as your computer
teacher!

M2 money supply in 1930s = $40 billion
Gold price in 1930s = $35/oz
Silver price in 1930s = $1.30/oz

M2 money supply today = $7.7 trillion
Expected Gold price today = $6,700/oz (7.5 times today's actual price!)
Expected Silver price today = $250/oz (15 times today's actual price!)

Conclusion:
As the legendary Mogambu Guru (Richard Daughty) would say, We're freakin' doomed!

You should be able to buy a very decent house with 60 oz of gold or 1500 oz of silver.

Instead, with today's prices, it takes over 400 oz of gold (over 22,000 oz of silver!).

Those who hold gold & silver will be greatly rewarded in the years to come.

I came across an interesting video on YouTube, of an interview with Michael Cremo on Coast-to-Coast AM. He debates Darwin's theory of evolution and the origin of mankind. Interesting stuff...
