OBAMA IS MY SHEPHERD,
I SHALL NOT WANT.
HE LEADETH ME BESIDE STILL FACTORIES.
HE RESTORETH MY FAITH IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
HE GUIDETH ME IN THE PATH OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE  BREAD LINE,
I SHALL NOT GO HUNGRY.
OBAMA HAS ANOINTED MY INCOME WITH TAXES,
MY EXPENSES RUNNETH OVER MY INCOME,
SURELY, POVERTY AND HARD LIVING WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
THE DEMOCRATS AND I WILL LIVE FOREVER
IN A  RENTED HOME.
BUT  I AM GLAD I AM AN AMERICAN,
I AM GLAD THAT I AM FREE.
BUT I WISH I WAS A DOG
AND OBAMA WAS A TREE.

When they came for the Anarchists
I remained silent;

Then they locked up the Tax Protesters
I remained silent;

Liberty Restoration Project delivers “Sunshine Law” request to Jefferson City regarding Police document.

Kansas City, MO. March 16th, 2009:

Today representatives of the Liberty Restoration Project (LRP) hand delivered a “Sunshine Law” request to 3 offices in Jefferson City. The Sunshine Law in Missouri is a version of the Federal Freedom of Information Act that allows groups to petition for information. This request was delivered to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon’s office, Missouri Highway Patrol office and State Emergency Management office. The LRP is operating as a mouthpiece to a national “Freedom Movement” that feels that a document released by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) on February 20th, 2009, has placed a peaceful movement into the same groupings as “Paramilitary”, white supremacists, hate groups and unconstitutional Militia. This document was released to the Missouri Highway Patrol offices and was released from the desk of Governor Nixon’s desk. This document was leaked to the public by someone who obtained it from their law enforcement agency.

The document in question is being criticized by the freedom movement because of such generalized information provided in the document. The document was written as a training tool for the police to be able to identify Militia members and protect officers as well and citizens. Instead the document managed to label anyone with a political view that differs from the two party designs. This document indicates current Texas Congressman Ron Paul as an icon for the Paramilitary movement, as well as displaying an inverted American flag, or having copies of documentaries that discuss issues that are relevant to the freedom movement. This document indicates that displaying a 3rd Party bumper sticker, or a “Gadsden Flag”, or even carrying a copy of the United States Constitution could be considered “political paraphernalia”. The freedom movement as a whole feels that this document will allow Missouri police to profile vehicles, individuals, organizations, or even political figures as “radical” or “extremists”, and will infringe upon a person’s 1st amendment right to express their views. The most immediate threat to this peaceful group will come at the end of March when Congressman Ron Paul will hold a regional conference in St. Louis, MO. This conference will bring in hundreds of supporters into Missouri, and now most are fearful of being singled out and profiled against, and potentially having their rights violated by the police, all because of a generalized and poorly informed document.

The Liberty Restoration Project is requesting on behalf of a national freedom movement for a retraction of this document, and a formal apology from the Governor, MIAC, and the Missouri Highway Patrol. The Liberty Restoration Project in Kansas City will extend a hand in drafting information that will not only clarify a position of a freedom movement, but also assist in better informing law enforcement officials in hopes to protect our peacekeeping officers and citizens.

For More information about the LRP, please visit: www.libertyrestorationproject.org
Please contact Bryon Huber at: 816-739-8064
Attached you will find the Sunshine Law request that was submitted.

Following is from Liberty Forest. I think it is a decent representation of the r3VOLution’s position regarding the economy. -

what created the economic bubble that got us in the huge mess?

---

i know government created a massive bubble in the economy, but how exactly?did the fed lower artificially lower interest rates to a ridiculous amount? did government inject too much capitol into the system?

what did government exactly do that led to all the mal-investment????

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

---

—-artificially low interest rates from the fed (plowed through much needed correction in 2001-2003)
—-”homeowner society” which includes CRA, Fannie, Feddie, Sallie, Ginnie, and lists of federal policies and regulations regarding housing and lending standards, edicts, and incentive structures
—–government sponsorship of ratings agencies and the moral hazard of SEC

it’s amazing to me that people really think, oh the problem is that we just had too much freedom at the same time that the chains are still in plain sight

also read Thomas Woods’ book Meltdown

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

---

it’s been building for a long time. we were not on a true gold standard after WWII, which lead to the collapse of bretton woods in 1971. once we totally got off the gold standard, the economy really started getting screwed up because the US was able to print the world’s reserve currency. with all oil priced in dollars and a massive military that occupies most of the world… the US was able to prop up a phony economy and essentially enslave the rest of the world into producing and saving while the Americans got to borrow and consume.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

---

Whenever the government intervenes economically, whether it is by passing regulations, enacting taxes, or handing out subsidies, they change the economic landscape dramatically. Investments move away from sources the government penalizes and into the ones that the government subsidizes. This can and does cause poor investment decisions, because nobody (especially an entity that is politically motivated) is capable of examining an entire economy with such foresight as to know where and when investment capital should move. Left to a free market, production and investment increases where there is demand, and decreases where there is less demand. Under a centralized economic system directed by a government, production and investment increases where it is politically convenient for the politicians to increase it. This causes economic bubbles. As a result, production and investment occur in areas where demand does not necessarily warrant it, and you end up with an oversupply of something. When the oversupply is finally noticed by the public at large, the bubble bursts and a lot of people lose their money.

The Federal Reserve is the ultimate stimulator of bubbles, because it sits at the top of our financial structure, essentially dictating how easy it is for individuals and organizations to acquire debt. These are called inflationary bubbles, because new money and credit that previously didn’t exist starts to enter circulation. Bubbles are created en masse. During the rise of inflationary bubble everyone is quite happy, but when the debt collectors start to call the happiness ends.

Let’s examine the housing bubble:

When you combine the inflationary bubbles of the Federal Reserve with Federal Government subsidies of home construction, and then you create regulations that change lending practices on top of that, you end up with a massive housing bubble. People invest in a glut of houses, and they keep buying them, because houses keep going up in price, with the hopes to sell for a profit. When the last buyer enters the arena and realizes nobody else is going to buy a house, the shit hits the fan! Everyone starts selling houses, and housing prices collapse. People lose their life savings.

This is just one obvious example. The fact is that market distortions occur all over the economy over long periods of time, and ultimately the people are made poorer for the economic conditions and the boom/bust cycles.

Its really a mess.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

---

The government spent money it didn’t have creating budget deficits (and, cumulatively, national debt). Americans don’t save enough to absorb that debt so the Fed buys the debt (in its open market operations). The Fed creates that money out of thin air increasing the money supply. This is called monetizing the debt.

Simplified, “too many dollars chasing too few goods” is inflation (a rise in the general price level). Inflation is sometimes, but not always (or not immediately) accompanied by a rise in consumer prices (CPI).

In many cases, for a variety of reasons, this “extra money” creates bubbles in the real estate, art, financial or other sectors resulting in housing inflation, lower standards for lending (and the fraud we’re seeing come to light now), etc.

In a more macro sense, the monetized debt affects interest rates (the price of money) below the “natural” or market rate. This intervention causes false price signals so that everyone makes decisions based on bad information.

See Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson and Hayek’s Prices and Production.

It was a busy, interesting weekend.

Saturday was the Annual Convention for the Manhattan Libertarian Party. While remaining a small “l” libertarian, I certainly appreciate the work the LP has done, over the years, keeping the ideas of liberty alive, (as well as the early, and continued, direct support of Dr. Paul during the last election cycle). Adding in that I had already connected with some of the group, (during the, nationwide, END THE FED!!! rallies on Nov, 22), plus the speaker line up, it was a no-brainer to go. So, I attended the Luncheon/Fund-raising program.

Two speakers, particularly, interested me: First, one of the lawyers who argued the Heller case, Alan Gura. (After meeting Dick Heller last spring, when he he was in preliminary talks about running for office, I was put on a mailing list that gave me a ringside seat to an issue I was out of the loop on). Mr. Gura presented an optimistic opinion that the Heller Case was a great victory for liberty. He said the move, now, is identifying all the laws affected by this decision, and going after them. He mentioned that arms were further defined as weapons a “regular” man would carry; rifles, handguns, etc., not LAWS and H-Bombs. In the end, the settling of the individual vs. collective right question, in favor of the individual, will do much to bring common sense to the continuing debate.

The final speaker was Adam Kokesh, The Revolutionary Patriot. Adam and I first got to know one another at the Rally for the Republic, since then we have worked on a few projects together and become friends. His speech was cut short, a bit, due to time constraints, and that threw him some, but as usual, it was a great speech. He talked about something a few of us have been mulling lately; how we need to work on appealing to emotions, rather than intellect, and how we can do that that by emphasizing the fact that our r3VOLution highlights love.

Ron Paul Revolution

Our movement, absolutely, is founded in love, and we can/should capitalize on that, (appealing to emotion) as we move from an intellectual movement, into a political one.

Afterward, we went out for dinner and drinks. A fine bunch of folk. Congrats to Isaiah on his surprise election (to him – lol) as Chairman. From what I gathered the LP is becoming a bit more pragmatic, and that is a good thing. The LP has been called more of an intellectual debating club than a political party, and there is some validity to the criticism. (I’ll, also, note that there are many 2%’er “clubs” of those who “get it.”) Perhaps it is easier for those in NY , as one may be a part of, and vote in, multiple parties. I wonder that other states could/should adopt those policies.

Finally, Adam and I talked quite a bit about his road-trip and future plans. It seems people are talking to him about a possible run in his home state against a freshman congressman… Hmmmm…

Sunday dawned with snow on the ground and a 60 mile drive to a Committee of Safety (CoS) meeting in Westport, CT. CoS has been started up by, a descendant of John Adams, Walter Reddy. It is an organization which is implementing the ideas of, Harvard scholar, Dr. Edwin Vieira as a mechanism for reigning in our gov’t. Anyone not familiar with Dr. Vieira should be pleasantly surprised googling his name. He is a brilliant, and personable, man whose integrity, and commitment to sound principles, reminds me of Ron Paul. I won’t presume to explain the concepts presented and invite anyone interested to visit the website linked above, and read for yourselves. He basically is working on monetary, and security issues. I will say that if anyone has a chance to see Dr. Vieira in person, I highly recommend attending. He is a good speaker, who makes sense, talking of serious issues / solutions

Onward and Forward

An interesting conversation developed in LibertyForest yesterday. It was in a report from Roseville, CA. about the rising use of trash collecters, as surveillance agents.

One may think, on the surface, that this is not a terrible thing; that anybody stupid enough to leave evidence of a crime, where trash collectors can see it, truly is a danger to society. But, leaving aside the implications, (in a “nanny state” society where civil liberties are being buried under the weight of a burgeoning bureaucracy, empowered with, ever increasing, intrusions into our lives masquerading as law), we see one astute poster refer to history with the chilling post quoted here:

This guy in the article is a garbageman, not an agent. People have the jobs they have for a multitude of reasons, but suddenly in this case, someone who is not of an intellectual classification and is oft overlooked has suddenly become empowered and holds power over other citizens.

The message is this…If you report for the state, if you give the state what it needs, you can elevate yourself in social status. Tyranny has always recruited this way. Identify those of lower social position (due to deficits in personality, intelligence, etc) and empower them to work against others. In East German, the stasi had family members reporting on one another!

If the garbageman wishes to accept this responsibility he will now have to accept its consequences, or the consequences that go along with having this un-Constitutional power handed to him.

You will see in the next few months the exponential increase in this oligarchical tyranny.

I have had the luxury of touring Central and Eastern Europe. Anyone who has knows what the implications of our escalating drive towards collectivism really means.

In Budapest, if you get a chance to go visit the House of Terror. Also, visit Monument Park, the only place collectivism should ever be gathered And only for fantasy and amusement.

If you ever go to Berlin visit here. There is a great display of all the spying devices, films about social recruitment techiniques and methods and countless stories which mimick what we are seeing now:
