My Bank Was Just Siezed By The FDIC

Just got notice that my Bank, Colorado National Bank,(Actually TEAM BANK out of Kansas City) failed and its assets have been assumed by Great Southern out of Springfield Mo. The post by Rotera informed me of this, tho it stated CNB was assumed by another bank. I knew our bank was likely to fail. I'll need to do a bank run in about an hour and get ten or twelve thousand dollars. I called the bank and they said all was normal, and did I need a run? I hate living in interesting times. USAA says they are in fine shape, as did an officer of CNB a few months ago to me personally. I pointed out there was nothing else she could say, and she silently agreed.
Who's a White Supremacist?

Few terms are more beloved by the media than "white supremacist." It conjures an image of a tattooed skinhead barking "sieg heil" or a gap-toothed Klansman at a lynching. Proper people recoil in horror. Every so often, a genuine moron pops up in the news who practically begs for the term, however many galaxies away he is from actual white advocacy. However, naming your child "Adolf Hitler" or the combination of a swastika tattoo and a vague threat against a public official are more likely signs of mental illness or a desire to shock the community than manifestation of a genuine concern about whites. A major contributor to use of the term "white ...

The world "liberal" first used in its modern political sense in 1812, when Spaniards wrote a new constitution liberating themselves from monarchical rule. As it happens, the word "socialism" originated in roughly the same period; it came into existence to describe the utopian ideas of the British reformer Robert Owen. Such timing suggests two possibilities: Either the fates of liberalism and socialism are so interlinked that one is all but synonymous with the other--or the two are actually competitors developed to meet similar conditions, in which case victory for one marks the defeat of the other. These days, one could be forgiven for believing that the former ...
A Good Analysis of TIP Bonds

o "If my choice is cash or gold - I'll choose TIPS." I'm happy to sell them to you, and so is Timmy. TIPS are unique among asset classes in that they are guaranteed to lose purchasing power if held to maturity. As you know, the accretion (the portion of the TIPS value that increases with the CPI) is taxed, and it is taxed yearly, not at maturity or sale. It is also taxed as ordinary income just like the interest portion (if there is any). Even if you assume that the CPI accurately tracks your cost of living (probably laughable), you are guaranteed to lose purchasing power due to taxes. These instruments do not have enough absolute yield to compensate for the taxation of ...

U.S. Lost ‘Hearts & Minds’ in Iraq, Oscar-Winning Director Says Share | Email | Print | A A A Interview by Rick Warner March 19 (Bloomberg) -- Peter Davis’s 1974 documentary “Hearts & Minds” showed how lies, ignorance and hubris led the U.S. into a disastrous war in Vietnam. Someday, he fears, a similar film might be made about American involvement in Iraq. A restored version of the Oscar-winning movie will be released tomorrow in New York, followed by a national rollout in April and May. Davis said the timing couldn’t be better. “We’re still haunted by Vietnam,” the 72-year-old filmmaker/journalist said in a telephone interview from ...
Conservatives and the death of newspapers
Post Date: 2009-03-19 20:16:44 by X-15

We conservatives are being cautioned repeatedly these days not to become too elated over the demise of mainstream newspapers. "Cork the champagne, sweep up the confetti, and put away the party hats," advised MSM journalist Rick Henderson recently in National Review Online. Newspapers are public watchdogs, he wrote, and no one else is ready to assume that mission. There‘s some truth to that, and, characteristically, some bias. As watchdogs, newspapers aren't the Dobermans they once were. Liberalism increasingly dictates what they will and won't bark at, while shrinking staffs provide an ever-diminishing check on communities and governments. There's no reason to ...

The Economic and Social Crisis The financial meltdown has unleashed a latent and emergent social crisis across the United States. What is at stake is the fraudulent confiscation of lifelong savings and pension funds, the appropriation of tax revenues to finance the trillion dollar “bank bailouts”, which ultimately serve to line the pockets of the richest people in America. This economic crisis is in large part the result of financial manipulation and outright fraud to the detriment of entire populations, to a renewed wave of corporate bankruptcies, mass unemployment and poverty. The criminalization of the global financial system, characterized by a “Shadow Banking” ...

First and foremost, more than anything else, they believe abortion is a sacrament, and anyone who disagrees with them isn't a thoughtful person with doubts, but in reality a fanatical religious bigot. They know this because they believe they can read people's subconscious minds, so of course they believe they know the person better than the person knows themselves. Second, in any political discussion, they will invoke Hitler and the Nazis sometimes with seconds. In any discussion about race, they will bring up the KKK and lynching, even though that history is about 80 years old. The most evil people in the world are Hitler and the Nazis, who of course are right-wingers, even ...
Wal-Mart should take on Bank of America

Wal-Mart should take on Bank of America By DAVID REILLY SYNDICATED COLUMNIST The economy is in an awful jam. Consumers and businesses need access to credit. Many banks, starved of capital, aren't up to the task. Nor is the shadow banking system, which offered an alternative source of credit from money-market, bond and hedge funds, but has now dried up. One suggested out: Create new banks that wouldn't be saddled with the soured loans and toxic assets constraining other lenders. That's easier said than done. Even with government funds, most start-ups couldn't muster the technology, infrastructure and management expertise to form the kind of big, national bank that could ...
Popular state sovereignty bills draw comparison to Civil War posturing

The threat is only implied in more than two-dozen state sovereignty bills making the rounds in legislatures across the country, except for a New Hampshire bill where the authors didn't hold back. Any law infringing on the state's right to self govern would trigger the dissolution of the nation: "All powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution ... shall revert to the several states individually." The S.C. House of Representatives has approved a resolution with the same state's rights concerns (but omiting the dire consequences), and the Senate is expected to soon take up a similar resolution. State Rep. Michael Pitts (R-Laurens), ...
Does the GOP care about white people?

Recently, I came across someone who seemed confident that the GOP represented, faithfully, the interests of White Americans. He told me that I was out of line to suggest otherwise. Curious, I asked him if he could help me identify some of the things the Republicans do to help White people out. As he was quick to point out that I was incorrect in my assertion, I figured it would be a simple task for him to name just one thing the Republicans do specifically in the interest of our people. It is clear that they do things in the interest of other peoples; for example, they introduced a bill that would legalize, and thus reward, criminal aliens trespassing into our country — a move that ...

Nobody writes enough, nor comes close to appreciating what Whites in Africa did when they ruled the place. Blacks especially do not even recognise a fraction of what we did. Recently, in a report on the rise of NAZISM in Europe, I saw a statement by an ex-SS Officer, in Austria, who is now 85. He said this:- 1) If a black man's stomach is full, he does not think of tomorrow. (Correct) 2) The West should leave the blacks in Africa to starve to death. He says the West is wasting its money feeding the blacks in Africa. Personally, I agree with him. If the blacks starved to death, then it would teach them the many benefits and values of whites who came to turn Africa into an agricultural ...

Among them to be the F22 aircraft, a new missile destroyer, an Army armored vehicle and numerous other cherished Pentagon toys. There is resistance in the inner circles of the establishment to further provoking Russia with deployment of anti-ballistic missiles in Eastern Europe. Suddenly there is a better than even chance this silly deployment of ...

A Conservative Case Against Limbaugh" I belonged to a cult. With David Frum. I know, I know. Things like this, when uncovered, are career-enders. Whole futures are destroyed. Families, disgraced. Congressional hearings run by John Conyers and Henry Waxman loom. Don't worry about me, though. My family did an intervention. I left the cult a few years ago and was successfully deprogrammed, or, as the deprogrammers prefer to say, given extensive "exit counseling." Frum, on the other hand, ...

I guess we could have spent a lot more, but we are pretty frugal. It was hard not to notice, tho, that a week after our arriving, the Peso fell from 15.2 to about 14.3 or so. As we were at a remote beach for that week we had no idea of it - and little concern. The real point of this post is, that however disasterous the dollar has been, the Mexican currency has been, superizingly, a little more disasterious. In fact (if you believe the newspapers), the Mexican Gov. is buying (liquidating, in order to make more scarce MX Pesos and hence valuable, Three Hundred Million Pesos a day, to bolster the MP V. the USD. That's about twentyfive million USD, but every day it may add up. They ...
Obama secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns

After the September 11 attacks, commercial airline pilots were allowed to carry guns if they completed a federal-safety program. No longer would unarmed pilots be defenseless as remorseless hijackers seized control of aircraft and rammed them into buildings. Now President Obama is quietly ending the federal firearms program, risking public safety on airlines in the name of an anti-gun ideology. The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots. This looks like completely unnecessary harassment of the pilots. The 12,000 Federal Flight Deck Officers, the pilots who ...
MISSOURI STATE POLICE THINK YOU AND I ARE TERRORISTS (Chuck Baldwin)

Thanks to a concerned Missouri state policeman, a nationally syndicated radio talk show host stated that he was alerted last week to a secret Missouri state police report that categorized supporters of Congressman Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and myself as "'militia' influenced terrorists." The report, he said, "instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties." Ignoring the threat of Muslim terrorists, the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report focuses on the so-called "militia movement" and ...

Global Elite Picked Obama Long Before Voters Man recounts startling tale of first time he heard of Barack Obama—18 years ago in Russia By Tom Fife During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid-1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow in the process of starting a software development, joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M. V. was a levelheaded scientist, while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing communist cause. Early in 1992, the American half of our venture was invited to V. & T.’s Moscow flat as we were about to return to ...

We’ve gathered a wide sample of dog breeds, sharpened their No. 2 pencils (you know, no opposable thumbs), and asked them to fill out a simple intelligence questionnaire. Okay, maybe not. But PetMD did come up a list of the top ten smartest canine breeds in the world. See if your dog’s breed makes the grade. #10 Australian Cattle Dog Yes, that Australian Cattle Dog from Down Under. A working dog that is traditionally occupied with controlling and herding cattle, its qualities are exceptional intelligence, alertness, resourcefulness, and a fiercely protective loyalty over its property and people. They are agile, strong, active dogs, both physically and mentally, which revel in ...

Editorial: Baxter's H5N1 as global flu pandemic threat There is no excuse. According to the scientific network PROMED, Baxter International Inc. in Austria "unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in 3 neighbouring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease". Austria, Germany, Slowenia and the Czech Republic - these are the countries in which labs were hit with dangerous viruses. Not by bioterrorist commandos, but by Baxter. In other words: One of the major global pharmaceutical players seems to have lost control over a virus which is considered by many virologists to be one of the components ...

The Sociology of the Ayn Rand Cult by Murray N. Rothbard Written in 1972, this was the first piece of Rand revisionism from the libertarian standpoint. In the America of the 1970s we are all too familiar with the religious cult, which has been proliferating in the last decade. Characteristic of the cult (from Hare Krishna to the "Moonies" to EST to Scientology to the Manson Family) is the dominance of the guru, or Maximum Leader, who is also the creator and ultimate interpreter of a given creed to which the acolyte must be unswervingly loyal. The major if not the only qualification for membership and advancement in the cult is absolute loyalty to and adoration of the guru, and ...

Kathleen Parker: The research Obama doesn't want to discuss By Kathleen Parker Published: Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2009 - 12:00 am | Page 19A As he lifted the ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research Monday, President Barack Obama proclaimed that scientific decisions now will be made "on facts, not ideology." This sounds good, but what if there were other nonideological facts that Obama seems to be ignoring? One fact is that since Obama began running for president, researchers have made some rather amazing strides in alternative stem cell research. Science and ethics finally fell in love, in other words, and Obama seems to have fallen asleep during the kiss. ...
