US: A “sovereign citizens” group sent letters to 30 state governors demanding that they step down within 3 days or “be removed.” The FBI is investigating to see if the group is dangerous or may inspire others to violence. [We think sending such letters is a silly waste of time, and the FBI is merely doing its job in this case; but mainstream media already is using this story to demonize any group that is critical of government policies by lumping them together with race supremacists and domestic terrorists.]

US: Government plans to sell its shares of Citibank, which were acquired from 2008 bailout funding, and make $15.4 billion in profit. Mainline economists are praising the move. However, the banks continue to lose money; so profits, if any, must come from taxpayers. Time will tell how this is done, but we can count on it. Yahoo News 2010 Mar 29 (Cached)

US: Congressional testimony reveals that gold and silver is traded on a fractional-reserve basis similar to how banks create money – except only more so. Banks can loan 9 times the amount they possess, but bullion banks loan 100 times the amount they possess. They call it “Paper gold.” Some firms even charge storage fees for the imaginary commodity. The system is hopelessly corrupt and is destined to collapse. If you buy gold, take delivery.

Utah Governor authorizes use of Eminent Domain to take back some of the state’s most valuable parcels from the federal government. [This is good because it asserts state sovereignty but bad because federal land will simply become state land, and private property will not be enhanced. Still, this is an important step toward a return of state sovereignty.] News Max 2010 Mar 28 (Cached)

Los Angeles: 9/11 Truthers join anti-war parade over the objection of parade organizers. [The anti-war movement is influenced by Left-leaning organizers who seek to use revulsion against war to motivate people to follow anti-American leadership. 9/11 Truthers are loyal Americans who want no part of collectivism – either Left or Right – and desire to rid their government of corruption. That is the reason for the conflict.] YouTube 2010 Mar 28

Central banks are increasing their stockpile of gold reserves and now own 18% of all gold ever mined. The investment sector is stockpiling as well. [Although bankers and financiers want to possess gold, they do not want paper money to be backed by it, because that would prevent them from collecting interest on loans of money created out of nothing.]
