My Umpteenth Reading Of The Anti-Federalist Papers

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

aristocracyJoseph P Farrell – I’m departing from my normal practice today and am not blogging about an article that readers sent me, but rather, just to share a few interesting quotations that, I hope, will be thought-provoking.

Recently I received a catalogue of books from Dover Publications, and in its “thrift books” section, it included a collection of some of the Anti-Federalist papers. Dover’s “thrift books” are little paperbacks very reasonably priced. This little edition of some of the Anti-Federalist papers cost only six dollars, so I purchased it, and have to say that the papers collected within it were nicely chosen and ordered.

Entire Federal Budget Now National Security Secret

Skidmore Greg Hunter – Michigan State Economics Professor Mark Skidmore made a stunning discovery late last year. Using publicly available government accounting reports, he revealed there was $21 trillion in what he calls “missing money” from the Department of Defense (DOD) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The data he used has been scrubbed, all accounting records are heavily redacted and now the federal government has declared its accounting falls under “national security.” Dr. Skidmore can no longer get the government to respond. Dr. Skidmore explains, “At this point, they are no longer responding to any of my inquiries. They are just not answering, and that is very astounding . . . and you can go on and look at the report yourself and see all of it blacked out.

Secrets of the Federal Reserve: American Wealth Destroyed by Currency Coup From Within

federalMelissa Dykes & Aaron Dykes – The Federal Reserve remains the 800-pound gorilla. Its moves are of enormous consequence to the economy, and their interests are at odds with those of ordinary Americans.

If people who’ve been thrown out of work, out of their homes and into bankruptcy understood what had been done, and by whom, they would have overthrown it practically overnight.

This insightful video discusses how the New York Federal Reserve is a corporation, largely owned by the top 10 banks – including many international banks – and works to increase the wealth of its shareholders at the expense of everyone else:

Secrets of the Federal Reserve: U.S. Economy, Finance and Wealth

The private control of this important central bank works through several channels, but centers around a handful of the top wealthy families in the ruling oligarchy – including the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers, DuPonts and others. Direct ownership is bolstered through interlocking control between other Federal Reserve branches through board members and directors, as well as ties to family dynasty networks. The Federal Reserve is in turned steered by the agenda of the Bank of International Settlements, an institution which also has ties to ranking families of the banking houses.

Out Of Control US Government Adds 3,554 New Regulations In 2014

regulatoryRaven Clabough – Further evidence of the federal government’s vast overreach can be found in a report out of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) that reveals that over 3,500 new regulations were issued in 2014, while 224 new laws had been passed. According to the report entitled Ten Thousand Commandments, the cost of government regulations is $1.88 trillion per year, or $14,976 per every household.

According to the CEI website, Ten Thousand Commandments is “the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s annual survey of the size, scope and cost of federal regulations, and how they affect American consumers, businesses, and the U.S. economy.”

Ten Thousand Commandments was authored by CEI Vice President for Policy Clyde Wayne Crews, Jr. in order to expose the growing “hidden tax” resulting from the increasing regulatory state.

The report puts the cost of the regulations into perspective with a few mind-boggling points:

• The estimated cost of regulation exceeds half the level of the federal spending itself, which was $3.5 trillion in 2014.

• Regulatory costs of $1.88 trillion amount to 11 percent of the U.S. GDP, which was estimated at $17.4 trillion in 2014 by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis.

• When regulatory costs are combined with federal FY 2014 outlays of $3.5 trillion, the federal government’s share of the entire economy now reaches 30.6 percent

• If it were a country, U.S. regulation would be the world’s tenth-largest economy, ranking behind Russia and ahead of India Continue reading →
