JDA: The Fed Goes Balls Out…Again

Junior Deputy Accountant asks an important question:

Does anyone else find it funny that they still feel market conditions warrant all the dollars the world could possibly need?

Yup.

Understand that and plan alternatives, if you want to get by.

Robb: The US Is Hollowing Out (Quickly)

Read it all, including Robb’s definition of a “hollow state”:

The hollow state has the trappings of a modern nation-state (“leaders”, membership in international organizations, regulations, laws, and a bureaucracy) but it lacks any of the legitimacy, services, and control of its historical counter-part. It is merely a shell of a state that serves as a legal conduit and enforcement mechanisms for global financial interests to loot what’s left of the state’s economy.

Corruption and violence are its only traits.

Stick a fork in it.

You ain’t one of Them.

And you ain’t voting your way out of this.

Got tribe?

Thank God It Will Only Be Used Against The Mooslims

And freer.

Think there’ll be consequences?

Those are for the little people, aren’t they?

Spot On

Read Mark Steyn’s latest, then watch these two vids (h/t to Vanderleun):

Doing the same thing will yield exactly the same results.

Why wouldn’t it?

SK: Yes, Obama Wants To Win

Sultan Knish tries to cure some delusions.

I’d go one further:

Consider voting (if you must) for the Mighty Kenyan in 2012.

As loathsome as that may be, consider the overall impact of electing a stealth Bolshie such as Romney or Gingrich.

Think hard.

Liberty Summit Planning Forum

TL has established this site for planning the upcoming rendezvous.

Go there and share your suggestions.

He notes:

I might interject that the Liberty Summit is not a Tea Party, it is not a rally with a bunch of speakers and entertainment. First, it is a gathering to see who is ready to act. Then, it is a meeting to decide when to act, what is that trigger point? It had better be the same for all of us or we are just a bunch of campfires to be put out one by one.

If we can accomplish even those few objectives it will have been worth our time, because without consensus on WHEN who doesn’t really matter.

GardenSERF: Last Post

GS says goodbye.

I know the feeling.

Fratricide

Commenting on the lengthy comment thread for this post:

Gentlemen:

If anyone thinks that there will be a detailed ‘one size fits all’ answer, you are more optimistic than me.

I go back to the formula:

Myself, my property, and my family — leave them the f**k alone, directly and indirectly, or die – your choice.

Everything else can be agreed or disagreed by mutual consent.

Yes – that makes taxation a bitch to enforce.

Good.

“How does one deal with supra-tribal defense issues?”

Good question. Tell me how one survives in the real world without some kind of supra-tribal structure with the knowledge set and funding to keep bad people from our continent. It’s why I do not consider myself a pure libertarian or anarchist – ZAP and other key tenets simply do not account for the presence and efficacy of evil in the 21st century world in which we actually live.

And that is why that whatever entity remains after the coming Collapse had better have its sh*t together enough to control the skies and space over North America. Otherwise, anyone who survives the first round of Great North American Die-Off excitement is very likely fated to be some foreign warlord’s prison-yard bitch. Joe Foreign or Domestic Enemy (substitute your own personal favorite boogie-man here) doesn’t need 99% of the American and Canadian people that currently hold the territory, but he sure as shooting wants the ground of North America itself, as it is worth scores of trillions.

Any ideas on that little problem, now that we all have dumped a couple of mags into each other in the obligatory fratricide-fest?

And for those with lots of gumption – how about some smart thinking on how each of us avoids getting lashed to the debt repayment wagon for the trillions of dollars in debt that others have accrued?

The restoration effort is towards freedom – now and in the future.

Anything else is misdirected.

Focus, people.

Tempus fugit.
