We've been discussing the now annual rush to re-approve the FISA Amendments Act, despite the fact that the original bill was on shaky constitutional ground, and it's been made much (much, much) worse due to a secret interpretation of what the law means (a secret interpretation that many in Congress apparently have no interest in finding out about). Andrew Napolitano, a former judge, has penned an interesting column laying out many of the reasons why the…

According to a Huffington Post article, quoting various…

Will oil soon be traded in a currency that is thousands of years old? What would a "gold for oil" system mean for the petrodollar and the U.S. economy? Are Russia and China hoarding massive amounts of gold because they plan to kill the petrodollar? 



Since the 1970s, the U.S. dollar has been the currency that the international community has used to trade oil around the globe. This has created an overwhelming demand for U.S. dollars and U.S. debt. But what happens when the rest of the…

Although I have always respected Devvy, I have found that she has always been a little simplistic in her interpretations, but.... Not this time. I have studied these Bills online over the holidays and must concur with her conclusions. The controlling language does not support detaining American citizens.

Now, what she does not say, is that if these bills were the Trojan Horses...then what were they really up to? Past experience tells us when TPTB want us to look at the right…

What started as the recall of a few dodgy burgers off supermarket shelves in Ireland in January has since become a Europe-wide scandal where the integrity of the food supply chain has been called into question. Consumers want to know how tons of horse meat came to be labelled as beef and then resold across Europe by some of the biggest names in food, including Nestlé and Findus.

The problem is secrecy. Unscrupulous people are able to pass off products that aren’t what they say they…
