By the way, if we are already on the topic of taxes, anybody who is interested should listen to this show, not only does it discuss the illegality of taxes, but also it provides some insight on what the USA citizens doing today to reduce their taxes (offshore accounts, etc.etc.)

Americans, you need to listen to this of-course, you should eliminate your federal government, a good step towards that (before you end up shooting the bastards) is to stop paying your taxes.

The forums right now are filled with comments that are calling for Snowden's head, I have heard calls to radio shows that lust for Snowden's blood. He has proven to be damaging not only to the politicians, but also to egos of the 'common' people, who find him to be too good of a person to compare themselves to him and so they hate him for showing what they are to themselves.

Here is an example of such a phone call, scroll to the beginning of the second hour (minute 60 of the show) and just listen to a guy named Gregory calling in.

There are plenty of NSA and other government agents flooding the Internet with all this propaganda, but there are likely 1000 times more actual USEFUL IDIOTS living their pathetic empty every day lives, being used as an instrument of fearmongering and hate, being used as a voting block or by these 'opinion polls', they provide the necessary background noise and support for the governments destroying individual freedoms.

I hope Ed Snowden thought hard before he did what he did and understood that the response to his actions will not be all rosy from the public, he knew what the response would be from governments, hopefully he didn't fool himself into thinking that the public will be united on his side and the side of individual freedoms.

After all, the people actually do deserve the governments that they had (though personally I think we must at some point get over this very idea that central governments are even necessary at all and shut them down entirely).

An interview with a guy from today, who did do a bunch of work to improve the infrastructure of his neighbourhood on his own dime, so that there would be no more flooding of houses and the way the government treated him after that (destroyed his property rights, bankrupted him) starts at around 21 minutes, goes to 40 minutes I find it convenient to listen at 1.5 times the speed, saves you some time.

Yes, so the government shouldn't be selling licenses to the rating agencies and shouldn't be forcing mutual funds, especially pension funds to only buy debt that is rated by the agencies that the government licenses.

US government treasury bonds are rated as high as they are by the agencies that are licensed by the government, and the moment one of these agencies decides to downgrade US Treasuries because US Tresuries are actually junk, it is sued and prohibited from rating US Treasuries. Of-course that one agency actually gets paid by the buyers of the bond, not by the sellers.

Here is a good take on this issue in the first 10 minutes of the show.

• Vermin Supreme, presidential candidate on the Free Pony Party ticket;
• Jimmy McMillan, presidential candidate on the Rent Is Too Damn High Party ticket;
• Santa Claus, independent write-in candidate;
• Edgar Lawson, write-in Republican presidential candidate;

The debate starts at minute 40, they have a few technical difficulties in the beginning, but solve them in a couple of minutes.

If you want a more interesting (or at least a more weird) presidential debate, look at this one:

For voters having trouble getting enthusiastic about Obama and/or Romney, the Schiff Show is featuring a panel of overlooked presidential candidates. Participants include: Vermin Supreme, presidential candidate on the Free Pony Party ticket; Jimmy McMillan, presidential candidate on the Rent Is Too Damn High Party ticket; Santa Claus, independent write-in candidate, and Edgar Lawson, write-in Republican presidential candidate.

Here is the debate, it starts at minute 40 (there are a few technical difficulties alone the way, but they solve them).

Found it, here is the entire interview, with Schiff's comments after it (it's in the second hour).

You are as wrong as Hanauer, consumers do not have any such thing as 'disposable income' without working for companies. ALL wealth is created by companies, every productive job is created by businesses, not by consumers.

Consumers only can consume what businesses produce and businesses do not know, nobody knows that if they make another chair or another computer that it will be bought. But that's not even the point. The point is that it is businesses that come first or more precisely, it is production that comes first.

Hanauer actually made a very specific metaphor, he said: there are Zebras and Lions and Grass, and he said: Lions don't make Zebras and Zebras don't make Grass.

Yeah, but Grass IS production, grass has to be produced before Zebras can eat it. Hanauer doesn't understand that.

Zebras have to be produced before Lions eat them. Hanauer doesn't understand that.

If he understands that, he definitely made sure to cover up that fact. Grass has to be produced and it has to exist before Zebras can eat Grass, it doesn't even matter how grass is produced, but what does matter is that Mit has to be grass and not paper money.

It's about production, it's not about paper money. Another stupid point by Hanauer was constantly pointing at places like Somalia, saying that it is just like USA was in 19th century, which is pure nonsense.

In fact many people confuse these, but those people are totally ignorant and turned off their brains long ago (if they ever had brains). Somalia does not have a Federal government in the first place, it doesn't have a Constitution. Somalians fought a bloody civil war to get rid of their Communist government that was destroying the country (and before Communists it was a British colony).

Somalia doesn't have any freedoms that USA used to have in 19 century (certainly before 1913), so comparing these is ludicrous. Modern day Hong-Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and mainland China are much closer to what USA used to be like in 19th century than any place without a Constitution and freedoms guaranteed by Constitution, like Somalia, which was raped by various governments of the world for ages.

I don't care about your quotes of bastards and things, what I do care about is the actual truth and you should listen to that interview that I linked in totality and including the post interview review of what Hanauer said by Schiff.

What I am telling you that after listening to that interview, I bought a premium subscription to Schiffs radio show, because if even people like Hanauer, who made plenty of money are such economic morons, then Schiff's radio show must be supported and stay on the air, because we are surrounded by ignorant and stupid people.

Forfeiture of private property is clearly Unconstitutional, it is resulted from gov't dumping the Constitution while running the Drug War (and now everything else, the war on terrorism, etc.) You can listen to that show, it's talking about it in more detail.

They are part of the monopoly set up by the ruling class, I don't even want them to have those jobs, why would I want them to have those jobs with ability to hold the services hostage?

Get rid of the gov't services in those sectors (like education) stop running education and allow the free market to take care of it and then yes, go ahead, unionize if you must.

But again, the employees must be free to associate and this same right to associate works the other way around, you must not be forced to associate with anybody, so employees must be free to associate, but they shouldn't be able to force anybody to associate with them, not other employees nor employers.

If an employer finds it easier to deal with a union rather than with every separate worker, he can do it. If the employer doesn't want to have a union shop, he shouldn't be forced to, and if they strike because he doesn't want to negotiate collectively with them, he should be able to fire them.

The ridiculous part is that many believe that gov't should be able to force employers to keep providing jobs to people who don't show up to work. (an audio interview on the issue of unions and striking with Chris Rhomberg, professor at Rutgers University & author of The Broken Table: The Detroit Newspaper Strike and the State of American Labor, on why America would be better off if there were more strikes. From 11:40 to about minute 40 and then some more thoughts on this until minute 50.)

Here is a good audio for you to listen to as well.

Politicians don't kill unions, unions kill businesses that are unionised. Unions kill unions.

As to government unions (public sector unions), they shouldn't have never been allowed in the first place.

Private unions are fine, people have the right to associate. However the employer must not be coerced into negotiating with the union collectively, he also has the right to associate.

Even in right to work states, it is actually illegal for an employee to start working in a union shop and then negotiate his terms on his own, the courts have upheld this clearly illegal idea of 'labour peace', where the rights of the individual are destroyed by the union power.

Some info on this in an interview with Mark Mix, president of National Right to Work. This is on unions (minutes 0:40 - 0:49 of that audio interview).

USA is becoming a third world country because of democratic votes cast by the majority who wants free bread and circuses for the politicians that promise it, while in reality stealing individual freedoms from people to run their businesses to the best of their abilities without being hindered by the government power. That's why people move production out of USA, while government ends up growing on printed, taxed, borrowed money, that's the reason for USA becoming the 3rd world country.

You know, I understand the frustration. However Fiorina was right. Unfortunately she was right.

I cannot underscore it enough, how much I am accenting the word 'unfortunately' here.

Why am I saying it? Because USA laws, regulations, taxes and inflation make it an unproductive, uncompetitive place to run business in.

If you want to understand what I am referring to, here is something for you to consider:

US manufacturer destroyed by US law, minutes 19:19 - 49:19 - here was a manufacturer, whose business required buying specialised miniature solar panels and the best supplier was in China. The new tariffs that were introduced basically killed his business. He was manufacturing an attic fan that used that solar panel, but all the rest of the manufacturing is (still) done in USA.

Now consider this: the new tariff means that for the businessman to stay in business he MUST OUTSOURCE ALL (100%) of his manufacturing elsewhere (Canada and Mexico are both inviting him in).

His business helped USA to reduce the enormous trade deficit that USA is running, because he was an importer as well as an exporter, his final product is bought around the world.

The sad part is that he was a poster-child for Obama's campaign when Obama sat down with supposedly 'small business community' where the ONLY person at the table that actually was a small businessman was this guy. The rest of the people who Obama was really talking to there, they were all large corporations getting something from Obama, they all wanted something. This guy didn't realise that he was used as a political prop at the time though.

Now the new tariffs are putting him out of business in USA and the only way to stay competitive, to stay in business is to move the business outside of USA.

Now back to Fiorina, AFAIC she is a fucking GENIUS. She didn't wait to be in the same predicament as this poor schmuck. She predicted a similar situation for her company and acted before it happened. As I said - it's unfortunate. But to understand the reasons behind it you need to understand the very problem itself in the first place.

----

(oh, and if you want to moderate this lower, you can take it upon both of my accounts, this one and the first one as well).

Here is what Obama does to the productive class in USA, this is an audio interview from today, the interview I am talking about is between minutes 19:19 and 49:19

The interview is with a small business entrepreneur who was framed by Obama to be his poster boy when it was profitable politically, when Obama wanted to sell the idea that he is for 'small-business', while giving money to huge industry and what he actually did to small businessman, destroyed him.

Here is the pertinent part of this article:

Clayton is arguing for regulations that remove the developerâ(TM)s right to waive any responsibility for security flaws in their software. Itâ(TM)s an argument that has already won support from officials across Europe, with a House of Lords committee recommending such a measure be implemented in 2007 and European Commissioners arguing for the requirement in 2009 - however agreements to this effect have not been passed.

âoeItâ(TM)s remarkable that of all the things that you could buy as a consumer, software is the one where youâ(TM)re expected to make up your mind whether itâ(TM)s dangerous,â Clayton says.

This person wants to create what he understands and works with - more laws. It's more work for himself, he wants to create environment where he would be given more power over other people, that's all.

All people who are for any type of legislation over other people are really looking for power over other people, you have to understand it. The guy says: "it's amazing, you have to make your own mind about something and there is no law!" Wow, amazing.

How about doing the exact opposite of what he proposes, namely removing the EXISTING regulations from the books that regulate businesses out of existence already?

Here is an audio interview, starts at 19:19 and ends at around 40:00 (with VLC I listen at 1.5 times the speed, it's a time saver)

This interview is about a couple of entrepreneurs from California that are shutting down their business because they couldn't make it there, but if you listen to the interview you'll find out why they couldn't make it there, the government prevented them from doing business as they wanted. They basically had something like cycle rickshaws driving people around for tips and the city (in this case) prevented them from having electronic advertising on their bicycles.

The drivers (10 to 17 people or so) made up to 20 bucks per hour doing this work for tips. The two people running the company couldn't go around a few city rules, like that with the advertising and also something about being unable to cross a bridge where people on bicycles are allowed to cross, but with passengers people aren't allowed. It's amazing to listen and find out that they had to pay thousands of dollars to the government just to start a business like that, with all the licenses and compliance costs! It's ridiculous obviously (should be obviously). People clearly like their services, but the gov't prevents them from operating in a way that would allow them to continue.

But all business regulations are about shutting down the business, all of it. It's about creating monopolies for some businesses and it's about creating worthless, economy damaging government jobs. It's about creating more work for lawyers of-course, it's about all the parasites riding on the backs of the real economy, and it all ends up destroying jobs, destroying the economy in the process.

Regulating software creation? Good way to shut down free/open source software and hand over the monopolies to a few large enterprises that have the necessary lobbyists and economies of scale to comply with these regulations. Will the clients, customers, consumers be better served by these few monopolists?

Pffffft.

As I said earlier, Dr. Hacker is a fraud. If you want to understand his real motives, listen to the audio interview with him.

He has an agenda, and this agenda is about increasing the number of people studying his subject in college settings and to do this he wants more people to stop studying algebra and other math and sciences.

He is interested in arguing in class for Obamacare and he wants to use statistics and no other math, and he wants this to be the environment for the young kids to learn in.

He is talking about indoctrination and dumbing down and at the end it's about money and power.

As a side note, the guy says that statistics should be taught to look at politician's claims (at school, to indoctrinate the kids) but statistics require algebra.

Oh, he is not an idiot, he has an agenda.
You can download this interview with him he made on the 7th of August 2012. He has an agenda, and this agenda is about increasing the number of people studying his subject in college settings and to do this he wants more people to stop studying algebra and other math and sciences.

If I have time maybe I'll reply to you later, but right now I'll give you a good source to listen to for a few minutes that explains why the personal income tax in USA is unconstitutional and is collected unconstitutionally, the only constitutional 'income tax' is not an income tax but is a tax on corporate profits.

This is an argument similar that I made a while back.

It's 64% (minute 43 to 50)

Minute 43 till about 50, if you have 10 minutes to spare listen to it.

Actually distributed taxes (including corporate, dividend, payroll) are 64% in USA now. Actual calculation at minute 43 to about 50 of this 28MB audio

The most important right that a jury member has is the right to judge the law, and apparently it is very dangerous in USA to notify juries of their right to do so and judges are on the side of the government on this, so they actually place people to jail who notify juries of this, even though this is an extremely important power that common people have to fight unjust laws - just always find the defendant not-guilty because the law is unjust.

One of the cases of this is discussed in this interview (the interview starts at the minute 41).

Interview is with Bernard von NotHaus, founder of NORFED & the Liberty Dollar, on exhausting his appeals process and his forthcoming prison sentencing.

This is the information on how you can help show your support by writing the Judge in Bernard's case!

Of-course do not forget that there are other political prisoners in USA, Irwin Schiff is one of them, this is an interview with Irwin Schiff from 2004, where he talks about his books where he predicts the economic collapse, education collapse, housing crisis, debt crisis, eventual collapse of the dollar, destruction of the manufacturing base in USA. Irwin Schiff also talks about the reasons for the incoming problems and he is giving an interesting look at the history of US over the past 100 years and how economy was changing. Also throughout the interview (really, it has to be viewed fully to see all of the points), Irwin Schiff shows that the income taxes in USA are voluntary and are collected illegally. Of-course he is spending 12 years in prison even though all of the evidence shows that he should not have been convicted, but the judge in the appeal case is refusing to look at the evidence.

So my point with all this is that AFAIC it is a good thing for the jury to be able to get some information that they don't have, because too often it looks like they are selected specifically in a way that would prevent anybody with any knowledge of the problems with the system from being in jury.

Jury nullification needs to be taught in school on day one, and of-course in the government ran schools it's not.

By the way, now with the NDAA signed by Obama, Bernard von NotHaus can in principle be 'disappeared' by the military and held indefinitely in a military prison because he was deemed a 'terrorist' for selling silver 10-20 Liberty dollar coins (of-course there are no silver 10-20 dollar USD that are used, these cannot be confused with actual USD and anybody who owns Liberty dollars is making a profit in terms of USD, which is being destroyed.) So do we need jury that are knowledgeable of what the system is like today or not?

Nullification - this is what all juries must be told. Nullify all laws that government is using to convict people whenever it concerns individual rights, property rights, etc. Government is the evil today, nothing else, nullify all laws.

Interview with Vern McKinley, research fellow at the Independent Institute & author of the new book Financing Failure: A Century of Bailouts, on why government interventions have always failed, the governmental propaganda used to expand federal power, and how the feds are covering their tracks.

Vern served as a legal advisor and regulatory policy expert for governments on financial sector issues in US, China and elsewhere, he testified in front of Congress with the board of governments on the Federal reserve, FDIC.

Starting from about 22:30 and going for a few minutes, just more people exposing what FDIC is what about, nothing to do with insuring depositors but had everything to do with bailing out banks.

A federal judge in Oregon has ruled that a Montana woman sued for defamation was not a journalist when she posted online that an Oregon lawyer acted criminally during a bankruptcy case, a decision with implications for bloggers around the country.

the government, including the judges want to shut you up. Shut up and do as you told, consumer number (*insert social security code here*).

Judges like to shut people up, by the way, listen to this starting at minute 19

Scroll to minute 19:06 of that audio file to listen about this very issue - that's an interview with a guys who has been fighting the government of USA on the issue of notifying the juries of their right to nullify the conviction based on an unjust law and what the government does to shut him up.

the problem is gov't thinks it is business, after all, it passes all these regulations, creates all these unelected offices that create more regulations, taxes business and individual income and talks about 'creating jobs'.

In reality it can only destroy jobs, and here is another example (middle of this audio is a business lady talking her experience having her business disrupted by gov't.)

How about gov't gets out of business and then business will get out of government?

SEC was specifically notified about Jonathan Lebed's new pump and dump scam involving his company 'NIA', SEC is doing nothing about it. They've known about it since at least 23rd of May of this year.

NIA is pumping and dumping Agria Corp (GRO) and Mega Precious Metals (MGP:CN) stock

SEC does nothing to protect anybody, it's all BS for show.

No they don't. Their imports are legal, the Indian exporter is not in any trouble, there are 2 certification letters, one from Indian government, one from forest stewardship council, some 3rd party auditor of these materials. You may want to listen to that audio after all (starts at minute 40).

The episode.

Meeting with the guest starts at the 40th minute.

As to your assertions, they are all wrong. Indian side provided paperwork that the export is legitimate. The exporter on the Indian side is not bothered. The US justice department is pretending that the reason for the 2 raids of the company is Indian law, it's not that.

Indian government allowed the export of the rosewood and ebony boards. They have certified letter from Indian government and they have 3rd party independent auditor - forest stewardship council, certifying the legality of this export.

This is some government vendetta against that particular company and it's going to be interesting to observe what is going to happen there, because this may have a chilling effect on any employer in USA. Just today we heard about BP offices being raided in Moscow, Russia. USA is raiding its companies, shutting down guitar manufacturers, shutting down other companies that provide server space, etc. What's the difference between the most openly corrupt government of Russia and this covertly corrupt government in USA?

You are a piece of meat that exists at the whim of your political masters. You can't get away from this fact anymore.
