Why
our politicians no longer work for America
“Government is, and always has been, the greatest criminal threat to the
peaceful members of society."

When it comes
to your privacy…
Who's More
Dangerous - The Government or Businesses?
The short answer is
that there's no real difference between the two. Here's why:
The Government: When you sign up for a new web service, you might
assume that your data goes only as far as the company you've signed an
agreement with. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Rainey points out that
filing a simple FOIA request revealed that government agencies like the
DEA and even the IRS regularly collect, store, and request information from
companies like Facebook and Twitter.
So the government uses the information they collect on social media to hunt and catch criminals—that's not so bad, right? It's not that simple. "Those organizations all map social graphs to see how people of interest relate to each other, and subsequently investigate their friends, followers, and others in their networks," Rainey explained. To boot, the government often doesn't bother to get a court order or justify the reason they want this information to the network in question—they make a few phone calls or send over a letter asking for someone's information, and the service responds with the requested data.

Future Money
Trends is expecting the U.S. to face the perfect storm of events that, when combined, will send gas prices past the
breaking point for the average American.
There are three major catalysts that will cause gas
prices to reach this breaking point.
Number one, the dollar is in a state of collapse caused by a
continuous increase of the money supply by America's central bank.
Two, instability in the Middle east and a potential war
with Iran would great[ly] disrupt the supply of oil.
Three, the supply of cheap, recoverable oil is dwindling
along with a major increase in demand.
...
America is built for $50 oil and $2 a gallon gasoline. The seriousness of our situation should not be overlooked. We have multiple forces that will drive gas prices past America's $5 per gallon breaking point... Rising gas prices caused by these three catalysts will break the backs of the American consumer, spiking prices to the point where present day normalcy is no longer the reality.

Black Boxes in Cars
A bill currently in front of Congress will require all cars to have "black boxes" by 2015. Just like airplane black boxes, these devices will record a bunch of information about your car in the event of an accident, including how fast you were going, if your foot was on the brake, if windshield wipers were activated, and even if the radio was on. For some people, this is a scary invasion of privacy. It shouldn't be. After all, 85 percent of new automobiles include a black box right now. Hey, watch the road.

Are you thinking that you might need a new shed? There's an amazing assortment of good quality building plans available, for free, on the Internet. I've tried to collect them all and organize them so that you can find just what you want.
You'll find basic storage sheds, gardener's potting sheds, tool sheds, mini barns, woodsheds, backyard studios, lawn tractor shelters and more. I even threw in a few of my own shed designs. If you're looking for something unusual, you'll find a big eight-sided shed, a shed that looks like a pretty cottage, another that could pass for an old west saloon, an outdoor kitchen, a combination shed and playhouse, an outhouse design, a two-level Craftsman style shed and a pretty little shed that looks like an old one-room schoolhouse.
Most of the plans are from top home and garden magazines and building retailers. Many include complete material lists and illustrated, step-by-step building instructions.

State Updates…
Difficult times have taken
their toll on millions of Americans through job losses, home foreclosures, unserviceable
debt, and ever dwindling retirement savings. By all accounts, Americans are
worse off today than they were ten years ago, and the state of our nation,
despite what Washington's media masters report, is fiscally, economically, and
socially dire.
Last year, the Grid
Reliability and Infrastructure Defense Act, or GRID Act, which would have
required a modest investment to protect the grid from major threats, was passed
unanimously in the House of Representatives. But the Senate refused to even
consider it. Democratic Senators continue to stonewall to this day.

Why Politicians Don’t Work for America
Spectator Democracy and tribal politics are destroying America…
Taxpayers fund their own destruction of liberty.
Most of us are mad at the government but not doing anything about it.
Despite an ailing budget, Congress continues to fund programs which
take away our liberty. Instead, the
majority of us are easily bamboozled and distracted by the sideshows
(entertainment) offered us by mainstream media, who seldom focus on the
important issues and are RARELY critical of government policies which are
destructive to our freedom and economy.
But instead of focusing on real solutions like shutting
down the Federal Reserve, converting to debt-free
currency, eliminating the income tax, shutting down the IRS, massively reducing
the size of government and getting rid of thousands upon thousands of unneeded
regulations, the mainstream media and our politicians are going to continue to
try to get Americans to accept more government programs as the cure all. That hasn’t worked for more than 35 years.
