Congressman McFadden's Speech On the Federal Reserve Corporation Quotations from several speeches made on the Floor of the House of Representatives by the Honorable Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania. Mr. McFadden, due to his having served as Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee for more than 10 years, was the best posted man on these matters in America and was in a position to speak with authority of the vast ramifications of this gigantic private credit monopoly. As Representative of a State which was among the first to declare its freedom from foreign money tyrants it is fitting that Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, be again given the credit for producing a son that was ...

Unconstitutional Bailout By ANDREW NAPOLITANO | July 17, 2008 When Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced that the government would provide a credit line to shareholders of Bear Stearns in order to prevent the giant investment bank from collapsing, he was consciously making a profound choice to use taxpayer dollars to save one bank and not to save another. On Friday, IndyMac, a huge California-based institution, with billions in assets, was permitted to expire while depositors waited in long lines outside of bank branches to retrieve the portions of their deposits and investments which were insured. The treasury secretary was at it again with an announcement on Sunday evening to ...

By InformationWeek September 25, 2008 01:15 PM A federal judge dealt the Recording Industry Association of America and record labels a setback Wednesday by throwing out a $222,000 verdict against a mom who was convicted of illegally sharing music over the Internet.

Davis said that the term "distribution" does not apply to simply making music available. It requires actual ...

We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself.

By SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writer 20 minutes ago NEW YORK - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Wednesday that the United States could be headed for another Great Depression if Congress doesn't act on the financial crisis.

"The genuine libertarian, then, is, in all senses of the word, an "abolitionist"; he would, if he could, abolish instantaneously all invasions of liberty, whether it be, in the original coining of the term, slavery, or whether it be the manifold other instances of State oppression. He would, in the words of another libertarian in a similar connection, ‘blister my thumb pushing that button!’" ~ Murray N. Rothbard, "Why Be Libertarian?" One of the questions with which I’ve personally struggled is an answer to the infamous "button-pushing" scenarios. Generally, it goes something like this: Suppose you really wanted [place negative ...

Feds give customs agents free hand to seize travelers' documents (09-23) 17:06 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- The Bush administration has overturned a 22-year-old policy and now allows customs agents to seize, read and copy documents from travelers at airports and borders without suspicion of wrongdoing, civil rights lawyers in San Francisco said Tuesday in releasing records obtained in a lawsuit. The records also indicate that the government gives customs agents unlimited authority to question travelers about their religious beliefs and political opinions, said lawyers from the Asian Law Caucus and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They said they had asked the Department of Homeland ...

All five governors of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors are Jewish. This is an event of unthinkable odds. There are supposed to be seven governors. Kevin Warsh is the son-in-law of Ron Lauder, son of Estee Lauder. Of Ron Lauder, Wikipedia says: "Lauder is actively involved in numerous civic organizations, including the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Jewish National Fund, the World Jewish Congress, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Theological Seminary, Brandeis University, and the Abraham Fund. With his brother he founded the Lauder Institute at Wharton School. Lauder has also served ...

Helping ‘people at home’ may become a permanent part of the active Army The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team has spent 35 of the last 60 months in Iraq patrolling in full battle rattle, helping restore essential services and escorting supply convoys.

The following is based on When Corporations Rule the World - 2nd Edition By David C. Korten 21/09/08 "PCDF" -- - Those of us who seek to intervene in policy debates in favor of economic justice and environmentally sustainability are regularly assured by the world's power brokers that they are fully committed to these goals so long as economic growth and the expansion of free trade are not compromised by governmental restraints on the market. So sacred have growth and free trade become in our modern culture that only rarely do we find the courage to ask why they should be given precedence over the needs of people and nature. Indeed, why should we consider accelerating growth ...

CONGRESS GOES OUT OF SESSION; WALL STREET BUYS THE PRESIDENTIAL POWERS which Paulson seems pretty confident when he makes the remark "emergency" legislation. EMERGENCY LEGISLATION when Congress has been out of session has been the problem since the MONEY BROKERS gained access to Ulysess S. Grant, pryed him with whiskey and women, then used this drunken president to gain access to the U.S. Dept of War and ultimately the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury Trust of We, the People, gaining further access to the President's EMERGENCY POWERS when the Congress is out of session and cannot be easily assembled while at home for their 'this's 'n that's.

Watch that video. Watch it twice, three times if you have to. Go look at the other video, and the other Ticker referenced in there. Now understand that there is no solution to this fast and vicious destruction of America's financial markets and financial companies until and unless the lying stops. It has NOT stopped and in fact has gotten materially worse. Folks, this meltdown will not stop until either: ALL financials mark everything to the market, ALL OTC derivatives are traded on an exchange or declared void, and ALL balance sheets are transparent so we can determine who is broke and who is not. OR The market has completely imploded with every financial stock worth zero as ...

After Mike Tabor turned his videocamera on two Portland cops rousting a couple of men on a downtown sidewalk, one cop seized his camera and gave him a ticket, saying he'd broken the law by recording the officers without their permission. The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute, and now Tabor is trying to force the Portland Police Bureau to take a formal position on whether it's OK for civilians to videotape cops -- with sound -- in public places. In a tort claim notice to the city last week, attorney Benjamin Haile informed the city of Tabor's intent to sue for $100 and a written policy saying that citizens have the right to make video and ...

How to Celebrate Constitution Day Joel S. Hirschhorn Today, September 17 is Constitution Day, but very, very few Americans know this or will celebrate it. If you think of yourself as a politically engaged, civic-minded and patriotic American, then I urge you to celebrate today by expanding your mind about a critically important but never-used part of our Constitution. All you have to do is go to www.foavc.org the site of Friends of the Article V Convention and spend some time learning the truth about the option given to us by the Framers because they anticipated that Americans would lose trust and confidence in the federal government. That day has surely arrived. So I beg you to suspend ...

DETROIT – Former Mexican President Vicente Fox criticized the U.S. immigration policy and outlined his plan for a North American Union on Friday in Detroit. He addressed a crowd of 1,500 during the kickoff of the second season Wayne State University's Forum on Contemporary Issues in Society (FOCIS). The speech was followed by a book-signing session. "All you United States citizens know you have the capacity, the talent to keep leading this world," said Vicente Fox at the FOCIS forum. "You know that not only opening markets and trading is good for everybody. Building bridges of understanding is much better than building walls." The former Mexican president ...

Subverting Democracy Through Electoral Fraud - by Stephen Lendman In America and elsewhere, electoral fraud isn't new nor should anyone be surprised it occurs. But as technology improves, so are better ways found to pre-arrange outcomes. It's easier than ever today so more time, effort, money and other resources are earmarked for it. The result: -- elections and their run-up are mere kabuki theater; the major media and PR industry play the lead role; everything is pre-scripted; -- secrecy and back room deals substitute for a free, fair and open process; -- candidates are pre-selected; -- big money owns them; -- key outcomes are predetermined; -- both major parties share ...

The Justice Department made public on Friday a plan to expand the tools the Federal Bureau of Investigation can use to investigate suspicions of terrorism inside the United States, even without any direct evidence of wrongdoing. Justice Department officials said the plan, which is likely to be completed by the end of the month despite criticism from civil rights advocates, is intended to allow F.B.I. agents to be more aggressive and pre-emptive in assessing possible threats to national security. It would allow an agent, for instance, to pursue an anonymous tip about terrorism by conducting an undercover interview or watching someone in a public place. Such steps are now prohibited unless ...

Are Forced Injections the New Taser?

While most people are aware of police use of Taser weapons, many may be fairly shocked to learn of an alternate method used by police in Nashville, Tennessee to subdue "unruly" people. The city has a policy allowing police to inject unruly people that they encounter on the street with a strong sedative. One of the doctors responsible for this bright idea claims that it is the safest option available and that it is being used all over the country. However, a top medical ethicist says that it is troubling. The drug used by police is Midazolam, which is better known as Versed. This drug is commonly used with patients undergoing a colonoscopy. It has an amnesia side effect, ...
