| Struggling Towns Begin Printing Their Own CashIn an echo of the Great Depression, local currencies with their own special flavors are popping up all over in attempts to give commerce and communities a lift. Last year, two Detroit businessmen were bemoaning the local economy—no one in the city had cash, and when they did, they spent it in the suburbs. Then the pair hit on a solution: Print their own money. Thus was born the “Detroit Cheer,” a local scrip accepted by a handful of city businesses, including a pizzeria, an electrician, a few local pubs and a doggy day care center. Residents can also exchange it at a few area bars for greenbacks, but the cheer is vastly more colorful. It features a chiseled Greco-Roman superhero (the Spirit of Detroit) towering Godzilla-like over the city skyline, cupping a tiny family in one hand and a sunburst representing God in the other. Detroit isn’t the only city sporting its own currency. Since the market bottomed nearly 18 months ago, there’s been an interest in local scrips not seen since the 1930s Great Depression. Law professor Lewis Solomon states in his book, Rethinking Our Centralized Monetary System, that there is no legal prohibition to creating a local currency system in the United States. The IRS, FBI, Secret Service, Federal Reserve and Treasury Department have all declared the printing and use of local currencies to be legal. |
Why are Monsanto Insiders Now Appointed to Protect Your Food Safety ? By Dr. Mercola: As I write this I am in Washington DC for the International Vaccine Conference and I just did a 12 hour amazing tour of the Capitol that I will describe later, along with pictures that I will post on Facebook. So politics and patriotism is fresh in my mind. When President Obama took office, many Americans welcomed what was supposed to be an era of much needed change not only for the economy but also for the food industry and U.S. health care system. Time magazine put it quite well when they described current farm policy as "a welfare program for the megafarms that use the most fuel, water and pesticides; emit the most greenhouse gases; grow the most fattening crops; hire the most illegals; and depopulate rural America." And as has been recently disclosed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), between 2003 and 2006, millionaire farmers received $49 million in crop subsidies, even though they earned more than the $2.5 million cutoff for such subsidies. In a speech given at the end of 2008, President Obama stated that this was a prime example of the kind of waste he intends to end when he takes office.

The Role of Boycotts Boycotts have often changed the world. The American Revolution began with the Boston Tea Party. The non-violent movement that brought down the British Empire included Gandhi's boycott against British textiles. The Montgomery bus boycott launched the civil rights movement. The United Farm Workers in the U.S., led by Caesar Chavez, were unionized through laborious national boycotts of lettuce and grapes. And of course, the international boycott of South Africa played a vital role in bringing down the system of apartheid. Sporadic and spontaneous boycotts, local in form, have been taking place in cities throughout the globe. By Paul Rockwell CommonDreams.org 11/18/2004 |
Propaganda and the Fear Factor(y) It is the merest truism that thought-control is unnecessary in totalitarian societies. A one-party rule and the repression of freedoms render irrelevant what people think. But in a would-be free and open society——and especially in a society that aspires to be a democracy——propaganda and thought-control are crucial to the formation of public attitudes. In a nominal democracy, such as exists today in the United States, shaping the opinions of the masses is crucial to the appearance of legitimacy for the ruling elite. The public must be guided and persuaded to ratify the policies favored by the wealthy and well connected, while insuring that the general public does not actually interfere with the policies and profits of the corporate rulers.

| The Making of a Zombie Culture If we are to understand the current media crisis, it is necessary to comprehend who the commercial media serves. The corporate media exists to serve the status quo, not to inform the people, as is widely assumed by its consumers. It serves the private sector, the bottom line, not the public interest, or the Commonwealth. The commercial media cooperates with those in power to program the public mind by creating propaganda that in essence engenders specific emotional responses, and creates a belief system favorable to the status quo. In essence, the consumer’s mind is programmed to accept the ‘official version’ of events, without consideration of any and all contradictory evidence. Well crafted propaganda compels the people to act in the corporate interest, even as they operate in ways harmful to themselves and the public interest. The Story Charles Sullivan 2/17/2006 |

Tony Gambino of the Gambino Crime Family Claims Vatican and U.S. Government Behind Pedophile And Drug Rings Tony Thomas Gambino of the infamous Gambino crime family is going public with information that could "change the face of America's corrupt leaders" and bring to the surface the real criminal organizations behind what has come to be known as the New World Order. Gambino, 63, recently came forward on Greg Szymanski's radio show, The Investigative Journal, saying the Vatican and U.S. government profit more from organized crime then does the Mafia. He will appear again on the Investigative Journal Monday at 7pm central time on www.libertyradiolive.com. Gambino said his prime motivation for telling the "inside details" of Mafia corruption is to prove to Americans how the Vatican and U.S. government work together in orchestrating the huge pedophile and drug rings that are destroying the fabric of American society.

Turning The Police State Apparatus Against DissentersA sustained media propaganda campaign in support of the move to swing the apparatus of tyranny away from phantom Muslim terrorists and towards the American people is in full operation and may pave the way for further attacks on US soil to be blamed on dissenting Americans who speak out against the war and the rise of the domestic police state. Over the past decade we have witnessed an extreme acceleration of the physical implementation of a framework and infrastructure ready to receive those who will not go along with a coordinated destruction of traditional American values and freedom. With 9/11 came the first opportunity of the 21st century to radically alter the mentality of America and introduce a new order of society. The corporate media is now preparing the psyche of the American public for a second major shift. The Story By Steve Watson - Infowars.net Posted 1/11/08 |
