Under the existing "legal tender" laws, and the system of inflatable fiat money inflicted on our nation in 1913, spending constitutional money at the government's artificial face value would be imponderably stupid. But the very existence of government-minted gold and silver coins is usefully subversive of the official fictions on which the Regime's fraudulent monetary system depends.

Tax "evasion" is a supposed crime that injures nobody but the parasite class, but that is the class that operates the state's apparatus of coercion, extraction, and propaganda.  Read More

You may have read Bee's blog last year,or so, about Dubai and how marvelous it is. You may have read jazzolog's blog lauding Dubai as a miracle of neo-liberal-techno-ambient culture, Arab + Western Capitalist, however Dubai is dying, as I knew it was destined to, and it isn't a pretty death like the ones you might witness in some Hollyweird Chivalric...  Read More

Freud and Jung's divergent theories had a common patron. Jung's breakdown led to realization of our rootedness in a transcendent dimension. He had found the trigger of the transformation process, which can also be exploited to keep people stuck in chaotic states.
Psychoanalysis was cross-pollinated by Viennese Theosophy and other European occult groups too numerous to mention. Jung introduced his concept of psychic "tension of opposites" at his Tavistock Lectures. These polarities can be manipulated in meaning and content. Like Yin and Yang or chaos and order, the tension of opposites is fundamental to existence.
Finding his model for unifying psyche and matter in alchemy, Jung proposed a compensatory relationship between the ego and unconscious. In philosophy, it is thesis, antithesis and synthesis. Confusion, indecision, fear and pain amplify the tension of opposites. It seems the world is coming apart. When "the center cannot hold" it is this opposition that gives way to fragmentation and wild oscillation. In reintegration, this is the dimension that is integrated in a 'higher' view.  Read More

Thomas Jefferson understood that democracy could never work in a country as large as the U.S., let alone one with more than 300 million people.

When President Thomas Jefferson imposed a national trade embargo and consummated the Louisiana Purchase, New Englanders, led by George Washington's Secretary of State, Timothy Pickering, loudly threatened to secede. They decided against it (for practical economic and political reasons) at the Hartford Secession Convention of 1814, but their actions sent a clear message to national politicians.

Outraged by the embargo, the Massachusetts legislature used the language of Jefferson's own Kentucky Resolve to proclaim that the embargo "was not legally binding on the citizens of the state" while denouncing the federal law as "unjust, oppressive, and unconstitutional" and reminding President Jefferson that "this state maintains its sovereignty and independence . . ." All the New England states, plus Delaware, did the exact same thing and nullified the embargo.

When Alexander Hamilton's Bank of the United States, a precursor to the Fed, created 72 percent inflation in the first five years of its existence and corrupted politics with its politicized spending policies, citizens all over the country assisted President Andrew Jackson in eventually destroying the institution. The heroic Ohio legislature slapped a $50,000/year tax on each branch of the BUS, attempting to drive it out of business. "The states have an equal right to interpret the Constitution for themselves," announced the Ohio legislature, and it decided that the BUS was not constitutional. Kentucky, Tennessee, Connecticut, South Carolina, New York, and New Hampshire followed suit.  Read More

Something most people never consider at all is the currency they use to buy things and what it actually is, or isn't. I've been studying a lot about the lies which were used to weave this country together from the very beginning and even before it was conceived of as a possible nation amongst the nations of this earth. Traced origins back to and beyond the Babylon and Sumer of old, even beyond the burnt out stars of the holosphere you call your universe.

One thing noticeable and even dominant as a thread, like a vein of gold or silver, of witness - is the insane lust for a thing called money which seems to be behind most of what appears to be a sort of worship of objects and collection of same into vast hoards of endless rotting heaps slowly vanishing back to the nothingness from whence they've sprung into beingness like cankers on an old hags arse.

Money, and it's lack, seems to be what makes the present course of civilizations on the face of this dark globe rise and fall. Every one seems to have teir own idea of exactly what it is and no two economists can agree on their theories of how to manage it wisely. The following article could bring some light to the subject. In any case it makes for a good read and I hope that some of you will take that pleasure and be rewarded for your trouble.

***

1. The experts do not know horse apples from apple butter about monetary theory.

2. Monetary theory should be an integrated part of a general economic theory of how the world works.

3. Whenever an economic theory of how the world works makes an exception for monetary theory, the proposed monetary theory is incorrect, or the general theory is incorrect, or both are incorrect.
4. Fiat money is always a form of counterfeiting.

5. Counterfeiting produces bad results for almost everyone except the counterfeiters.

6. Fractional reserve banking is legalized counterfeiting.

7. Government fiat money is counterfeit.

8. Those who trust government money will lose wealth more surely than those who do not trust it.

9. There are ways to escape bad monetary policy.

10. The worse the policy, the fewer the avenues of escape.  Read More

Well hello again. Fancy meeting you here this time of year. Muscadine grapes made into pepper jelly. Floods in Georgia. G20 in Pittsburgh Pa., attended by the local, and foreign, Gestapo who were out in full force...

Yeah, America the beautiful, bankrupt, communist, democratic. I did say democratic didn't I? Well democracy, after all, is the goal of communism and socialism isn't it? Step by fetid step. Now you've got it all with the insane, yet tame, Obama at the podium of dark overlord, POTUS, of the United World Empire.

The following little ditty is something I picked up on the web and immediately thought of you all here at the old, fabled, NCN. SO without further adieu I'm gonna drop it. Clean out my bildges as it were. Hope you can see the satire and irony in it. It's a blast from the glorious past.

Hope it makes you think, especially if you call yourself American, about just what it is you've gotten yourself into as the pundits of the military psyops propaganda, CNN/Fox news, centers shpiel forth their bile against Iran in preparation for an attack on her sovereignty. Don't forget, though, that a bankrupt nation loses her sovereignty. Just like America did in 1933.

Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Baxter International Inc. had mixed live, genetically engineered avian flue viruses in vaccine material shipped to 18 countries. Only by sheer luck, a Czech laboratory decided to test the vaccine on a dozen ferrets, which all died in days. The World Health Organization was notified and catastrophe was averted. This was clearly a deliberate act on Baxter’s part, because they adhere to BS3, bio-safety level three. Baxter admitted a “mistake”. Such monumental screwups are totally impossible at that level. Many safety systems would have needed to be sabotaged, many key personell would have needed to be bribed. It simply can’t be done without direction from the inside. They did not send out the wrong vial – they produced dozens of gallons of biological-weapon agent (genetically engineered live H5N1 / Bird flu virus), then sent it out as a “vaccine”.  Read More

Washington's Farewell Address

(1796)

[Washington refused to be a candidate for a third term of the Presidency; and in May, 1796, he sent to Hamilton a rough draft of his farewell address, asking for his criticism. After much revision by both the document was published on Sept. 19, and was read to the House of Representatives. The advice contained in it has ever since exercised a profound influence on the policy of the nation.]  Read More
