There has yet to be a single mass shooting in this country that doesn’t have the telltale connection to mood altering drugs. Omaha television station KETV reported that, “Robert Hawkins, the 19 year old who killed himself and eight other people with a [stolen] assault rifle last night in Omaha, Nebraska had a history of treatment with psychiatric drugs for depression and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and was on Prozac according to press reports.” The state of Nebraska spent over $265,000 on this mentally unstable kid while he was a “ward of the state.”

Here is yet again another tragic case of a person whose mind is made susceptible to Satanic depression and deadly ideas, including “going down with fame” killing others, and committing suicide–while under the conscience-suppressing effects of these mood altering drugs. There is evidence that these drugs do more than alter moods. The suicide rates are much higher for youth on these drugs, and especially as they begin withdrawing from them. Naturally, the psychology lobby does not admit to their partial culpability in these affairs. They usually blame the “easy access to guns in this country,” and actively downplay the known suicidal effects the drugs they prescribe. Sadly, they don’t believe in conscience (at least as a divine source of help) nor Satan’s powerful abilities to distort and corrupt the thinking patterns of disturbed youth.

BIG INFLATION COMING Freemarketnews.com reported this week that, “the federal reserve ordered two trillion dollars to be printed! … Three separate sources in the U.S. Treasury have told me that this week, the federal reserve ordered TWO TRILLION dollars to be printed! The US Treasury is allegedly running printing presses 24/7 to accommodate that order. Treasury employees were specifically ordered not to talk about this to anyone because it could cause economic collapse.” That’s a bit inflammatory. Press officials are never supposed to tell how much money is being printed. Even another $2 trillion isn’t going to cause a collapse, though it would and will eventually impact the value of the dollar. I’ve always said that the US has not yet used up all its power to inflate. I guess the PTB are starting in earnest. It is important to note that in response to growing dollar weakness, silver is at a ten year high and gold is nearing a 25 year high.

Robert HcHugh lets us in on what M3 was doing recently – and it was very inflationary. “M-3 has been launched into outer space, up another $56.3 billion last week, up $92.4 billion over the past two. This is some real horsepower. Over six weeks, the meaningless figure, ahem, is up $177.8 billion. These annualized growth rates are 28.7 percent, 23.6 percent, and 15.3 percent respectively. Those are the seasonally adjusted figures. The raw, non-seasonally adjusted, figure is up $293.3 billion over the past 12 weeks, on a pace to add 1.2 trillion in money to the economy … That’s right folks – soon to be discontinued money supply data ALREADY showing annualized growth rates in excess of 28% – and the Fed would have us all believe that this is a non-event.”

The staff at Free Market News tried to imply a direct relationship between the decision to not report M3 money supply figures and this new print move. “The M3 was the amount of cash the government printed to put into circulation, propping-up the U.S. economy.” This is not true, specifically. M1 is the sum of currency that is held outside banks, travelers checks, checking accounts (but not demand deposits), minus the amount of money in the Federal Reserve float. M2 is sum of M1 plus savings deposits (this would include money market accounts from which no checks can be written), small denomination time deposits (less than $100,000), and retirement accounts. M3 (discontinued) is M1 plus M2 plus the large time deposits (more than $100,000), Eurodollar deposits, dollars held at foreign offices of U.S. banks, and institutional money market funds. Cash eventually shows up in all of these, but the significance of removing M3 has more to do with hiding the numbers of dollars outside the US where most inflation goes so as to deny currency traders a key piece of the data which helps evaluate the dollar versus other currencies. They have alternates, of course, but losing M3 was important. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) has introduced legislation to require the Fed to resume reporting the M3 statistic. Urge your Congressmen to support The Sunshine in Monetary Policy Act.

Skousen: Masking the Inflationary Economy

MASKING THE INFLATIONARY ECONOMY

According to Bloomberg, “U.S. consumer prices excluding food and energy rose more than forecast for a third consecutive month, increasing speculation the Federal Reserve will keep raising interest rates beyond this month. The 0.3 percent jump in the so-called core consumer price index reported by the Labor Department in Washington today exceeded the median forecast of a 0.2 percent increase by economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Core inflation over the last three months was the highest since 1995. Including food and fuel, prices climbed 0.4 percent.”

But as George Ure of Urban Survival comments, “What’s more interesting to me than the numbers themselves, is how the mainstream media has swallowed with virtually no disclosure the fact that the inflation reports in 2006 are not the same thing that we were looking at in 2005 … The Labor Department announced in 2005 that they were ‘changing weights’ of various components: Effective with release of data for January 2006, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will update the consumption expenditure weights in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) to the 2003-04 period.”

This is not the first time the BLS has tampered with the CPI. It’s a constant process of removing highly inflated prices from the “typical basket of goods” Americans buy in order to manipulate the numbers downward. The BLS creates lots of different categories, as well, in order to mask inflation. They have created what they call a “core inflation rate” which, strangely, does not include food and fuel! How can these two basic necessities not be included in the core inflation category? They do it because they have a political mandate to hide the chronic effects of government monetary creation.

Pushing Huckabee by Joel Skousen

PUSHING HUCKABEE

In furtherance of the insider’s attempt to divert the support of Christian conservatives away from Ron Paul, the establishment is giving big play to former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, an ordained Christian minister, with a penchant to go along with the globalist agenda. The PTB [powers that be – ed.] failed in their initial attempt to promote another phony and lack-luster conservative, former Sen. Fred Thompson. Now the establishment airways are full of “news” stories promoting Huckabee’s sudden rise in the Iowa polls. These puff pieces are worth millions in campaign dollars that Huckabee doesn’t have to spend. Notice that there has no commensurate coverage for Ron Paul’s huge success in raising money–almost $11 million this quarter so far.

Huckabee is riding the strong backing of uninformed fundamentalist Christians, who are strangely drawn to the globalist interventionists strategies out of a confused and mistaken linkage of America’s meddling in the Middle East with God’s covenant to preserve Israel as a heritage for the Jews. That’s why so many Christian reject Ron Paul’s non interventionist foreign policy. They don’t understand that God will preserve Israel for his own purposes, in his own way, and that the globalist intervention is NOT the hand of God working to preserve Israel but, in fact, a strategy to make it more vulnerable to international intervention and eventual control. And, that Israel’s own leaders are part of that globalist conspiracy (despite pretending to be right-wing).

Conservatives also don’t realize how flawed Huckabee’s record was while governor of Arkansas. Ever since the Clinton years, no one has gained high office in Arkansas without being controlled by the same establishment powers that brought us Bill Clinton. Huckabee was no exception. Phyllis Schlafly has written extensively on how much damage Huckabee did to the conservative Republicans in Arkansas during his tenure.

Pastor Chuck Baldwin, one of a handful of evangelical Christian leaders who really understands what’s happening in this nation, gives us more details on Huckabee’s flirtations with the globalists:

“To find the answer as to why a professing pro-life, conservative Christian would suddenly become the darling of the media, look no further than the fact that just a couple of months ago, Mr. Huckabee appeared before the globalist-minded Council on Foreign Relations. (Read his speech here) And when he did, it became abundantly clear that Huckabee was a man globalists could trust.

“By the way, as you read Huckabee’s speech, you will find that he is George W. Bush on steroids! This is a man who intends to meddle in the affairs of nations around the world like you can’t believe. Talk about entangling alliances: Huckabee intends for our State, Energy, Housing, Education, Justice, Treasury, and Transportation departments to spend untold billions of tax dollars on just about anything and everything, including schools, medical facilities, roads, sewage treatment, water filtration, electricity, and legal and banking systems in countries all over the globe. And that is exactly the kind of man the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) wants in Washington.”

Huckabee reminds me very much of the naive Jimmy Carter who the globalist played for a fool as president–though Carter wasn’t an actual co-conspirator. Carter’s CFR handler was his National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was and is a globalist–despite his current pretensions as a critic of the Bush foreign policy. Baldwin’s final comment is right on target:

“But, once again, the Christian Right just doesn’t get it. So, they will continue to support establishment, CFR-backed, globalist candidates who will, in turn, continue to do the bidding of the international elite.” …
