”If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” –Henry Ford

CIA Member Exposes the Truth About America’s “War on Terror”…

Author: Danny Divine
This video contains imperative information regarding American foreign policy, i.e. the “War on Terror. It discusses Blowback, a phenomena which states that foreign intervention has unintended consequences that cause foreign nations to retaliate and attack America. According to the CIA, U.S. military interventions cause more terrorism in the form of Blowback. A former CIA member, Chalmers Johnson, exposes the “war on terror” and explains how Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda all received aid from the United States in the form of weapons and money in order to covertly invade and overthrow Iran and the Soviet Union. This video advocates a non-interventionist approach to foreign policy. One where America does not meddle within foreign nations domestic affairs and instead leads by example rather than by aid. The video makes claims that a non interventionist approach would make America safer and wealthier. Presidential Candidate Ron Paul advocates a non interventionist approach to foreign policy. It would serve America well to elect a candidate that understands the unintended calamities that derive from war and interventionist foreign policies. Spread the word of liberty and let us restore America to a safe and wealthy nation!

Quote of the Day…
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.” –Martin Luther King Jr.
Scientists Build Self-Replicating Molecule…
Living things self-replicate, but artificial materials generally don’t. At least not until now. New York University researchers led by Paul Chaikin have found a way to use synthetic DNA to make molecules that reproduce themselves. The technique gives scientists a tool to create different combinations on the DNA that aren’t necessarily available in nature. That opens up billions of possibilities for building completely new materials and even molecular machines. Chaikin and his colleaques reported their results in this week’s journal Nature.

World’s Smallest Hard Drive Built of Atoms…
Hard drives could one day be the size of rice grains, powering music players so small they would fit inside your ear.
Scientists at IBM and the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science have built the world’s smallest unit of magnetic storage, using just 96 atoms to create one byte of data. Conventional drives require a half a billion atoms for each byte.
The advance could lead to tiny hard drives able to store 200 to 300 times more information than they can today. Just imagine an iPod Touch that held 12.8 terabytes of music.

Ron Paul’s Speech After Placing Second in New Hampshire Primary…
After placing 3rd in the Iowa primaries, Presidential Candidate Ron Paul places 2nd in the New Hampshire caucuses. Ron Paul is the real deal in what seems to be his most popular and widely supported presidential campaign ever. The fight for liberty and the restoration thereof in America is a loud and vigorous one. Let’s continue supporting Ron Paul as he is seemingly the last hope for restoring liberty, prosperity and a sound economy in the United States of America. Let freedom ring!
Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve; Why Centralized Banking and Statism Undermine Sound Money and a Sound Economy…
Modern day economists fail to realize the ramifications of a centralized banking institution when it comes to sound money and the facilitation of monetary policy thereof. The Keynesian economic school of thought undermines long-term stability via short-term government interventionist policies that boosts growth and production in the short-term but diminishes it in the long-term. This occurs because it inflates the money supply, by printing money, and subsequently renders the dollar less valuable daily. In its essence, inflation can be considered as a hidden tax on the consumer. In the video below the Ludwig Von Mises Institute elaborates on why a centralized banking system and statism undermines a sound economy. They argue that a fractional reserve lending system causes long-term instability. This occurs because the Federal Reserve, as the lender of “last resort”, is able to print money backed only by ten percent of their gold reserves therefore allowing them to increase the money supply ten times its original amount. This process devalues each individual monetary unit (dollar) tremendously and in the process undermines sound money and a sound economy. They also argue that a 100% gold standard would curb a relentlessly unwarranted increase in government expenditures provided by inflationary funds and the fractional reserve lending system. It is imperative that the common citizen is informed of such poor monetary policy and its effects in order to bring an end to the unsound economy fueled by a fiat currensy (paper money made legal tender by a government decree). Enjoy the video, spread the word of freedom and most importantly END THE FED!

Exercising Your Rights: My Run In With Police…
The other day, while walking to work, I was stopped by police. The cop, while waiting three or four cars behind a red light, made a u-turn on an extremely busy main street stopping oncoming traffic (extremely hazardous) merely to stop me in my tracks. The cop car pulled up directly in front of me blocking the crosswalk intersection. Two officers immediately stepped out as I attempted to cross the street. The officer whom was driving confronted me and inquired my whereabouts.
Before even allowing the officer to take control of the engagement I instantaneously asked the officer “What seems to be the problem officer?”. The officer responded by asking me why I was taking pictures while walking down the street. Apparently taking pictures while walking down a main street is deemed “suspicious activity” and reasonable enough to stop a man walking to work.
