attacks"/><title type='text'>Bin Laden Killed-Why Does This Reek SO Badly?</title><content type='html'>We&#39;ve all heard the reports about Seal Team 6 killing Osama Bin Laden.  But to me, it sounds very fishy.  The longer the time goes by, the more suspect the government&#39;s official story gets.  The story just keeps changing by the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conflicts in the story just keep growing.  It would appear that the official story is changing on a daily basis.  And it doesn&#39;t make any sense.  No proof, no rhyme, no reason, nothing...  No body, photoshopped pictures, no eyewitnesses, nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, I&#39;ve heard reports that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,41576,00.html&quot;&gt;OBL was dead years ago&lt;/a&gt;.  Some say that he had died from kidney failure, since he was known to be suffering from it before the WTC attacks.  Others say that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sott.net/articles/show/227393-Years-of-Deceit-United-States-Openly-Admits-Bin-Laden-Long-Dead&quot;&gt;he had been killed in Tora Bora&lt;/a&gt; during the heavy bombing that was being conducted by the US military over there when they first invaded Afghanistan. It is even reported that the US knew he was dead.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infowars.com/articles/world/pakistan_bhutto_said_osama_bin_laden_was_dead.htm&quot;&gt;Benazir Bhutto said that she had heard from her sources that Bin Laden had been killed by Omar Sheikh&lt;/a&gt;. Ironically, she was assassinated about 2 months after saying this. Of course, it was just a coincidence...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, this is just too convenient.  The timing is suspect. Obama&#39;s popularity ratings were probably as low as GW Bush&#39;s.  This OBL thing is an obvious distraction to keep people engaged in the media circus.  Also, &lt;a href=&quot;http://tarpley.net/2011/05/04/is-fake-bin-laden-incident-trigger-for-world-war-iii/&quot;&gt;this sets up the perfect pretext for new &#39;false flag&#39; operations&lt;/a&gt; that can be blamed on Muslim extremists.  No matter how much security we add, the &#39;terrorists&#39; always seem to be able to circumvent it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The oligarchs that carry out these sophisticated intelligence operations rely on the trusting nature of average people.  They need people to believe what they are told by authority figures on television and from other media sources.  They could not control society if people were smart enough to figure out the lies and inconsistencies in this biased mass media reporting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people do not want to be perceived as being too &#39;far out&#39; in their thinking and questioning of news reporting.  The story being told in the mass media about &lt;a href=&quot;http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/osama_dead.php&quot;&gt;this OBL assassination&lt;/a&gt; is more than 3 standard deviations of perceptive distance from the truth, so the truth is seen as being &#39;far out&#39;, and it is.  But it is this way because it was designed to be this way.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/3025148360322971271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/3025148360322971271?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/3025148360322971271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/3025148360322971271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2011/05/bin-laden-killed-why-does-this-reek-so.html' title='Bin Laden Killed-Why Does This Reek SO Badly?'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-6402176393250539152</id><published>2011-04-27T06:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-27T07:15:09.025-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="assets"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="banks"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ETF"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Hunt brothers"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="MSNBC"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="ounce"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="precious metals"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="short squeeze"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="silver"/><title type='text'>Silver is Blowing Up</title><content type='html'>The price of silver is exploding more than it already has.  I remember when silver was less than $5 an ounce.  I couldn&#39;t convince people to think about it, much less actually buy some of it.  I was buying it, but looking back, I should have mortgaged everything I had to buy it.  I made at least 6-10 times my money I invested in silver.  We will never see prices for silver that low in our lifetimes. NEVER! I guess that made it the investment of a lifetime back then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to 2011, and now the price of silver is close to $50 an ounce.  The really scary part of this is that when you look at the fundamentals, along with the instability in the world economies today, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kitco.com/ind/Kirtley_Sam/apr262011.html&quot;&gt;the price of silver may still be low&lt;/a&gt;.  The fact of the matter is that &lt;a href=&quot;http://seekingalpha.com/article/265381-short-sellers-now-screaming-about-a-buy-side-silver-conspiracy&quot;&gt;the banks that have been dealing with silver have been committing fraud&lt;/a&gt;.  They have been &#39;selling short&#39; silver that they not only did not own, but have actually been selling silver that did not exist.  This enabled them to make money on non-existent silver, and to also suppress the price of silver as well.  Selling naked shorts in silver amounts to a &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;de facto &lt;/span&gt;flooding the market with &#39;paper&#39; silver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentrarities.com/future_price.shtml&quot;&gt;The problem now is that the banks are now caught up in a &#39;short squeeze&#39;&lt;/a&gt;.  This is when a seller of a commodity doesn&#39;t have it, and now much purchase it at the market price, no matter how high it may be.  It would depend upon what price they sold it at that would determine the loss.  The bigger the difference between the market price and the price they sold it for, the larger the loss.  It looks like they may be in for multi-million dollar losses because the silver price is now approaching its historic high that was set back in the 1970&#39;s when the Hunt brothers were trying to corner the silver market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not sure how many people are open minded enough to invest in silver, but it has worked out great for me, and for plenty of other &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentrarities.com/ted_butler_comentary03-23-11.shtml&quot;&gt;people who had enough guts to think for themselves&lt;/a&gt; instead of following the talking heads on MSNBC and other media investment pundits.  One thing that they won&#39;t tell you is about systemic risk.  You may think that your investment portfolio is well diversified because you&#39;re investing in a lot of different stocks, bonds, ETF&#39;s, indexes, etc., but I have some news for you.  You&#39;re only diversified in paper assets.  What happens if all paper assets take a hit?  Is your portfolio equipped to handle that eventuality?  That&#39;s where &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kitco.com/ind/Ruff/ruff_apr272011.html&quot;&gt;investment in non-paper assets&lt;/a&gt; comes in.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentrarities.com/what_kind_silver.shtml&quot;&gt;Do your research&lt;/a&gt;.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/6402176393250539152/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/6402176393250539152?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6402176393250539152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6402176393250539152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2011/04/silver-is-blowing-up.html' title='Silver is Blowing Up'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-7024272173349343616</id><published>2011-04-18T07:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-18T08:51:02.335-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="animals"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="antibiotics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="corporations"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="industry"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="meat"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="staph aureus"/><title type='text'>Almost Half the Meat at the Supermarket is Contaminated!</title><content type='html'>I hated to see this, especially since I am a meat eater.

The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stephen-knapp.com/the_dangers_of_meat.htm&quot;&gt;meat producers&lt;/a&gt; love to use antibiotics because they can continue to use their filthy practices, as well as increase the growth rate of the animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/coqRvp1AGkw&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;349&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tgen.org/news/index.cfm?newsid=1948&quot;&gt;Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacteria&lt;/a&gt;. It is scary to think that these bacteria in the meats we are consuming is drug-resistant!  But that&#39;s a direct result of corporations choosing the most profitable practices over the most safe practices.  It&#39;s not surprising if you truly understand what a corporation is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;http://compenetration.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/corporation-legal-personality-with-psychopaths-traits/&quot;&gt;corporation&lt;/a&gt; is an artificial person. It&#39;s only reason for existence is to make money for owners (shareholders), and everything else is of relatively minor importance.  They don&#39;t care about the effect of their foods on our long-term health.  They don&#39;t care whether or not the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smashcancer.com/2011/03/30/do-gmo-foods-cause-cancer/&quot;&gt;food they feed us is healthy&lt;/a&gt;.  They only care about whether or not we&#39;ll continue to buy it, and whether or not they&#39;ll make profits.  That&#39;s why they never want to admit to anything that they think will make us less likely to buy their products, or to make us uncomfortable with their industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not sure what we should do though, because beef, poultry and pork are all having this problem. Most people don&#39;t want to give up meat, but we&#39;re going to have to do something to protect ourselves, since we know that the big corporations will not protect us.  It might be a good idea to get meats from small, local farmers instead of from the big supermarket chains. It may also be good to wash our meats with food grade hydrogen peroxide (diluted to 3%).  We&#39;re going to have to be resourceful and intelligent.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/7024272173349343616/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/7024272173349343616?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/7024272173349343616'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/7024272173349343616'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2011/04/almost-half-meat-at-supermarket-is.html' title='Almost Half the Meat at the Supermarket is Contaminated!'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/coqRvp1AGkw/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-7292793786230887268</id><published>2011-04-13T16:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T18:16:29.966-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="contamination"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="EPA"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Fukushima"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="iodine"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nuclear power"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="radiation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="radionuclide"/><title type='text'>Fukushima Radiation is Reaching the US</title><content type='html'>In spite of the media and government reports that are downplaying the severity of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smashcancer.com/2011/04/10/radiation-causes-cancer-fukushima-more-dangerous-than-authorities-will-admit/&quot;&gt;radiation releases from the Fukushima nuclear reactors&lt;/a&gt;, it is very dangerous.  Much more dangerous than the authorities or media would like to admit.  We already know that the government has a vested interest in having people remain calm and distracted from the facts.  The nuclear industry is populated with big, powerful corporations that make a lot of money building nuclear power plants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The EPA is reporting that there have been radionuclides found in drinking water in the United States, as well as radioactive contamination of milk.  In fact, some levels of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smashcancer.com/2011/04/01/radioactive-iodine-and-how-it-causes-cancer/&quot;&gt;radioactive Iodine 131&lt;/a&gt; in drinking water have been above the EPA safety limits!  What is even worse is that there has also been &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffmcmahon/2011/04/10/epa-new-radiation-highs-in-little-rock-milk-philadelphia-drinking-water/&quot;&gt;contamination of milk with radioactivity&lt;/a&gt;.  The issue with milk is that it represents the general condition of the food chain because cows eat grass and are exposed to the same environment as food crops and water supplies.  The inference is that when there is radioactivity in cows&#39; milk, there is radioactive contamination throughout the entire food supply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of this radioactivity being spewed around the Earth by this nuclear accident, you would think that governments would be working to protect their populations, or at least would tell the people how to protect themselves.  But this is not the case. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/fukushima-much-bigger-than-chernobyl-says-russian-nuclear-activist/story-e6frfku0-1226032383976#ixzz1IIu2eU00&quot;&gt;authorities from most countries actually appear to be more concerned with lulling the people to sleep&lt;/a&gt;.  They are focused on making sure that the people remain complacent about this nuclear fallout.  Scientists agree that there is no safe exposure level for radioactive isotopes.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.naturalnews.com/031992_radioactive_cesium.html&quot;&gt;Although the exposure levels may not appear to be high in the air or water&lt;/a&gt;, the thing about exposure to radionuclides is that the exposure is cumulative.  It appears that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/fukushima-much-bigger-than-chernobyl-says-russian-nuclear-activist/story-e6frfku0-1226032383976#ixzz1IIu2eU00&quot;&gt;the Fukushima nuclear plants will be releasing radiation and radioactive particles for many months&lt;/a&gt;, if not years.  It has already been reported that they are releasing enormous amounts of radioactivity into the ocean. It is just a matter of time before the fish, shrimp and other sea creatures are contaminated with radioactive particles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The astute person will want to take steps to remove radionuclides from the body.  We may not be able to stop the release of radioactivity, but we can do some things to protect ourselves and our children from radioactive contamination.  It makes sense to err on the side of caution, regardless of the opinion of government officials.  If you wait for them to warn you of the danger of radioactivity, it may be too late.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/7292793786230887268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/7292793786230887268?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/7292793786230887268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/7292793786230887268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2011/04/fukushima-radiation-is-reaching-us.html' title='Fukushima Radiation is Reaching the US'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-4300048617298061977</id><published>2011-03-31T06:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-31T06:00:10.754-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Agent Orange"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="aspartame"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dioxin"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="DNA"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="genetic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="GM crops"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="GMO"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Monsanto"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="PCB"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="population"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="profit"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="recombinant"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="technology"/><title type='text'>GMO Hazards</title><content type='html'>The GMO debate is very controversial, but I think that the majority of people have an inherent understanding of the topic.  This is why most people do not want to be exposed to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.smashcancer.com/2011/03/30/do-gmo-foods-cause-cancer/&quot;&gt;GMO foods&lt;/a&gt;, and are understandably wary of consuming them in foods. The bottom line is that there is no way that genetically modified plants are the same as those that are naturally occurring!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When scientists start using restriction endonucleases (i.e., enzymes that cut DNA at a specific DNA base pair sequence) to cleave DNA, and then insert genes from different species into it, that sounds like the definition of Pandora&#39;s Box situation to me!  Each type of living organism has a specific safety codon sequence that makes it impossible for different species to interbreed.  Genetic scientists have learned how to bypass this. Because these types of experiments have never been done before, the experimental population could be considered to be everyone in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raw-wisdom.com/50harmful.&quot;&gt;A huge problem with this recombinant DNA technology&lt;/a&gt; is that there are often unintended consequences. When there are genes being inserted into bacteria, commonly-used plants, and all over the place, this can create a danger. There is no way to predict how artificially created genetically-modified organisms will interact with other organisms and the genetic results. A scary fact is that all sorts of different genes from different species are being spliced together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest push for the use of this recombinant DNA technology is from the corporations that stand to make immense profits from its use. Companies like &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto&quot;&gt;Monsanto&lt;/a&gt;, a company that has already &#39;gifted&#39; the world with Dioxin, PCB&#39;s, Agent Orange, aspartame, and DDT. So their claims for the safety of bioengineered organisms are not objective, since they stand to gain many billions (if not trillions) in profits from this technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scariest thing about these genetically modified organisms is that once they are introduced into organism populations that are outside &#39;in the wild&#39;, there is virtually no way to remove them if they begin having harmful effects! In addition, there is virtually no regulation of the use of this technology. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actionbioscience.org/biotech/pusztai.html&quot;&gt;Scientists have done no long-term studies on GM organisms or foods&lt;/a&gt;. Political and economic considerations have been the major priority, with no consideration of the possibility of catastrophic consequences from such irresponsible behavior. This &#39;shoot from the hip&#39; attitude with recombinant DNA technology could lead to massive death and destruction of life on this planet. This is how serious the consequences from these actions could be. We are hoping for the best, but it is bordering on insanity for recombinant DNA to be rolled out into nature in such a thoughtless manner.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/4300048617298061977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/4300048617298061977?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/4300048617298061977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/4300048617298061977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2011/03/gmo-hazards.html' title='GMO Hazards'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-5022141605926053658</id><published>2010-05-26T10:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-26T15:59:15.191-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cardiovascular disease"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="diabetes"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dr. Mercola"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dr. Richard Johnson"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="high fructose corn syrup"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hypertension"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="standard american diet"/><title type='text'>Is This the Biggest Threat to Your Health?</title><content type='html'>The biggest threat to your health may be a molecule that we&#39;ve never thought was so dangerous.

The molecule I&#39;m talking about is &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;fructose&lt;/span&gt;, and it is very ugly in its action on the human body, especially when taken in excess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The major problem is that the modern Standard American Diet is rife full of fructose, and especially High Fructose Corn Syrup.  It is as if there is some sort of plan to make all Americans dependent upon this sweetener.  It is in all sorts of food products, and is even in many foods that you may not suspect, such as ketchup, bologna, bread, etc. This is such an important topic that I&#39;m going to stop writing and let you watch and hear the story for yourself from credentialed medical professionals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/iEjJ7nnYxLs&amp;rel=0&amp;border=1&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/iEjJ7nnYxLs&amp;rel=0&amp;border=1&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;326&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;385&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/dBnniua6-oM&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/dBnniua6-oM&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xd0d0d0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;326&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/5022141605926053658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/5022141605926053658?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/5022141605926053658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/5022141605926053658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/is-this-biggest-threat-to-your-health.html' title='Is This the Biggest Threat to Your Health?'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-3368608080078438599</id><published>2010-04-25T06:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-25T06:43:00.377-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Empire"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="London"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NWO"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Rothschilds"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="US Corporation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Vatican"/><title type='text'>You Have to See These Videos</title><content type='html'>This is &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ring of Power-Part 3&lt;/span&gt;, and is in 2 parts.

Although Detroit is obviously the most devastated large city in America, the news is now out that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forbes.com/2010/04/09/cities-top-ten-lifestyle-real-estate-unemployment-home-prices_slide_2.html?partner=yahoore&quot;&gt;many of the other metropolitan areas of the country are now suffering the same fate&lt;/a&gt;.  My contention has always been that Detroit was just hit by the first part of this destructive wave, but I knew that it was going to hit the rest of the country.  It is just not possible for the heart of the manufacturing base to be destroyed and to maintain a healthy country.  But this is what people were led to believe by the mainstream media.  Such is the quality of thinking and reasoning of the masses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And believe me, the mentioned cities in the report from Forbes at the link above are not the only cities being hit by this economic depression.  We know that California is experiencing the biggest fiscal deficit of all the states, so &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36666821/ns/business/&quot;&gt;it isn&#39;t a surprise that Los Angeles is having major problems&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest surprise to me is the non stop march of money to the Military-Industrial Complex (as Eisenhower referred to it in his outgoing speech).  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=18758&quot;&gt;This country spends TRILLIONS of dollars on guns, weapons and the &#39;War on Terrorism&#39; like there is no other priority&lt;/a&gt;.  Of course, this is to protect us from these legions of terrorists who are just lurking around, waiting to kill all of us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let me get this right: we spend more on weapons and defense than all other countries in the world COMBINED, but we can&#39;t stop terrorist attacks without spending even MORE money?  And in spite of all these expenditures, we still had a terrorist attack (WTC-Pentagon).  So now we are fighting 2 wars on the other side of the world to protect America?  I wonder how we are protecting America by having the Army on the other side of the planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, even if we leave that incredibly large expenditure out of the equation, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=18746&quot;&gt;we still have the banks and other financial interests who are getting large handouts from the government while paying ZERO taxes&lt;/a&gt;.  So these guys have GREATLY profited from the NINJA loans and other financial shenanigans (like derivatives, high frequency trading, fraudulent financial reporting , etc.), and when they get busted for all of their misdeeds and assorted scurrilous behaviors , they get free government money with no strings attached!  No jail time, but &#39;get-out-of-bankruptcy-free&#39; passes and the biggest bonuses &amp;amp; profits in their history!  I&#39;m beginning to think that I went into the wrong occupation...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is that we are paying for America to be destroyed, and we&#39;re paying top dollar for it, all while our real economy is being decimated.  So the rich get richer, and the middle class gets the privilege of being reduced to peon status while receiving the bill for all of it.  What a bargain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We couldn&#39;t have destroyed America any better if we would have given the Communists, and any other enemy of the country free access to all of the control mechanisms of the country.  If this wasn&#39;t the planned destruction of America, it is definitely the best imitation of a plan to destroy America.  Unfortunately, by the time people wake up and see what has happened, it will be too late.  If it isn&#39;t too late already, it is very close to that point. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worst part of it is that most Americans are busy blaming other average citizens for their own demise while fighting over the crumbs that are left of the shrinking American Pie, the people who are actually doing this (i.e., high level government officials, corporations, lawmakers, lobbyists, globalists, etc.) are sauntering away with all of the money and power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ampedstatus.com/full-report-the-economic-elite-vs-the-people-of-the-united-states-of-america&quot;&gt;So what are we going to do about this&lt;/a&gt;?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/5933325152012914055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/5933325152012914055?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/5933325152012914055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/5933325152012914055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2010/04/rich-get-richer-while-little-guy-gets.html' title='The Rich Get Richer While the &quot;Little Guy&quot; Gets the Bill'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-1722864472222677436</id><published>2010-03-29T10:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-30T04:33:09.069-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bailout"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FDIC"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="financial recovery"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fraud"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hyperinflation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="US economy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Wall Street"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="wealth"/><title type='text'>The Financial Mess</title><content type='html'>I&#39;ve seen 2 articles that summarize the major problems with the US economy.  The garbage on mainstream news that passes for truth is merely propaganda to keep people complacent with the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;status quo&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not learn the facts about the US economy, you may lose all of your savings. Even if the FDIC insurance gives you the nominal value of your bank deposits in the case of a financial catastrophe (which is doubtful since the FDIC only has approximately 3-5% of total bank deposits in their possession), your deposits will be paid with money the government creates from inflation.  This means that the value of your dollars will be reduced.  In short, your spending power will diminish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first article is entitled &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article18164.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;US Policies Will Fail to Avert Hyperinflation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  This is a great article that speaks about the major problems that make a financial recovery in America improbable.  But it also outlines the steps that we can take to rebuild and repair the US economy.  The road is not an easy one, but it will be easier to make the changes while we have a chance rather than having no other alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worst part of this situation is that instead of people facing the facts and acting responsibly, we continue to embrace delusions, lies and false promises.  This is not good, and the worst is yet to come, especially if changes are not made.  The current financial policy virtually guarantees that financial destruction and economic hardship are in the future of the United States.  Lies, deception and fraud are not a solid foundation for long-term economic prosperity. That&#39;s a self-evident fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second article is entitled &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=18366&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Financial Fraud on Wall Street&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  This is a short article that explains the fact that there is still massive fraud occurring on Wall Street.  The bottom line is that if the banks were honest, they would acknowledge that they are all insolvent.  Government collusion and connections keep this truth from being accepted.  The banks can get bailouts and pretend to be solvent, and they can keep &#39;earning&#39; their fat bonuses.  But the massive bailouts are creating the financial environment that leads to economic calamity.  Short term gain leading to long term pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everybody in the financial community knows about all of this fraud and theft.  The Justice Department, the SEC, the CFTC, and the rest of the regulatory agencies know what is going on. It&#39;s a mass collusion to maintain the current state of operations.  From what I&#39;ve seen, the plan is for the bankers to continue to earn massive amounts of money, and then when the system melts down, they then pass the bill to the people.  But meanwhile, they will have taken their obscene profits and used them to purchase tangible assets.  So when the US Dollar (and most other fiat currencies) collapses, they will be relatively unscathed, and will still have the ability to stay wealthy, while normal people will become the equivalent of 21st century serfs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember: wealth is neither created or destroyed--it only changes hands.  This will be one of the greatest shifts in wealth in history.  Don&#39;t be an ambivalent dupe.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/1722864472222677436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/1722864472222677436?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/1722864472222677436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/1722864472222677436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2010/03/financial-mess.html' title='The Financial Mess'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-7141955955387989967</id><published>2010-03-11T08:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T09:23:21.798-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="banking"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="derivatives"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="economics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Glass-Steagle Act"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="government"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Great Depression"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="MSNBC"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Subprime Banking Crisis"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Washington D.C."/><title type='text'>Consolidation of Banking</title><content type='html'>I&#39;ve been talking about economics and what is happening with banking for a while now.  The fact of the matter is that there is a great consolidation of banking that has been initiated with this &#39;banking crisis&#39; that has been in effect lately.  Although the mainstream press would have you believe that it is the result of stupid, mistaken, idiotic bankers who are making errors, this is not plausible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virtually all of the people who are in charge of banks, banking and government policies are highly credentialed (i.e., have Ph.D.&#39;s and other college degrees from mostly Ivy League colleges).  This effectively negates the assertion that these people do not know what they are doing.  I say that not only do they know exactly what they are doing, but that they are succeeding at what they have already planned to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s look at this logically.  The banks made massive amounts of money from lending all through the creation of the &#39;Subprime Banking Crisis&#39; before it was a crisis.  This was all made possible by their great efforts (that eventually succeeded) to get the Glass-Steagle act repealed.  This law was passed after the Great Depression of 1929 to prevent banking organizations from performing standard banking operations and investment banking simultaneously to minimize &#39;moral hazards&#39; (i.e., a euphemism for stealing, plunder, profiteering and other scandalous behaviors).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the banks (along with their paid cronies in government) made obscene amounts of money from this.  This is in addition to their realizing astronomical profits from derivatives trading, which is mostly done &#39;off-the-books&#39; because there is no standardized, regulated market for derivatives.  They are virtually all customized transactions, and are therefore not regulated, not public and are difficult to value.  It&#39;s like basically being able to stack the proverbial Casino in your favor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the ugly realities of making bad loans and continually making excessive bets have led to major structural problems in banking.  So when the &#39;cookie jar broke&#39; and the banks were about to all go bankrupt, they pressured their friends in D.C. to help them out, and that&#39;s exactly what they did.  We know it as the TARP program, which basically amounts to &#39;corporate welfare&#39;.  Instead of the many trillions of &#39;investments&#39; being valued at their actual market value, the government bailouts allowed the banks to keep their face values so that the banks would not experience actual losses.  They were allowed to maintain the facade of being solvent, although the truth is that they are all technically bankrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So for all of this, the People of the United States were given the bill for all of this.  The payment for this will be through layoffs, higher taxes, less services, the collapse of local and state governments, inflation and/or deflation that will greatly erode the wealth of average people, and possibly totalitarian fascist police state provisions to keep the masses from holding the government and corporate people responsible for these events responsible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I&#39;ve covered a lot of ground in these few paragraphs, but I didn&#39;t want to overwhelm you with a lot of technical jargon that may confuse you.  But &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=17736&quot;&gt;I have found a great article that goes into great depth about this situation&lt;/a&gt;.  It is lengthy, but if you can absorb the content and meaning of this article, you will have a much better understanding of where the economy is, and what is really going on in the world.  You can forget the crap that they&#39;re feeding you on MSNBC and similar financial &#39;news&#39; outlets because that drivel is merely designed to keep the sheep calm while they are being fleeced.  This is some of the most important information that you can get for yourself,  your family and your country.  It will affect every facet of your life, and the lives of the people you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may think I&#39;m crazy, but you owe it to yourself to step outside of the corporately-controlled media and do some thinking for yourself.  Running multi-trillion dollar budget deficits just isn&#39;t sustainable on a long-term basis.  It appears to me that those who control governments and economies are purposely running all of the world&#39;s economies into the ground so that they can institute this One-World Government and One-World Currency.  The old saying is that &#39;nothing happens by accident in politics&#39;, and you can best believe that with trillions of dollars in the balance, there are forces working to control them and gain as much of that loot as they possibly can.  Don&#39;t be naive.  Face reality and deal with it, because it will definitely deal with you one day! It has a nasty habit of popping up at the most inopportune moments.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/7141955955387989967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/7141955955387989967?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/7141955955387989967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/7141955955387989967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2010/03/consolidation-of-banking.html' title='Consolidation of Banking'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-4269965246793810106</id><published>2009-11-02T08:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T09:06:33.798-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="conspiracy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pandemic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="side effects"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="swine flu"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="vaccinations"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="virus"/><title type='text'>Swine Flu Antics and Other Nonsense</title><content type='html'>I always had a bad feeling about this alleged Swine Flu pandemic.

Vaccination is more dogma than science. When you take a vaccine, you are not only accepting dangerous adjuvants (such as formaldehyde, thimerosal/mercury, squalene, etc.) into your body.  You are also being exposed to genetically-manufactured cellular elements and substances, and possibly a myriad of animal viral contaminants, and nobody knows what else could be in them. It&#39;s really playing Russian roulette with your health.  One of the scariest things about vaccines is that they may be a causal element in the increased incidence of autoimmune diseases, psychological disorders, neurological diseases and disorders, and chronic diseases that we see in society today.  You really owe it to yourself and your children to do some research into this topic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/y3XlJB7J5-o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/y3XlJB7J5-o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/Ch5OuzB9L48&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/Ch5OuzB9L48&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/6381980547100163200/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/6381980547100163200?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6381980547100163200'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6381980547100163200'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/10/gary-null-speaks-out-against-forced.html' title='Gary Null Speaks Out Against Forced Vaccination to NY State Officials'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-3314721963481128404</id><published>2009-10-26T09:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T09:41:54.432-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="attorney"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Federal Reserve"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="questions"/><title type='text'>Fed Attorney Squirms and Deflects</title><content type='html'>I just thought that this clip was very interesting.

I guess that thinking like a scientist has made me more aware and analytical about the institutions in America.  From my days as a kid reading Gunnar Myrdal&#39;s great treatise on the sociology of America to what I study today, I have always been interested in the way that society works.  I also learned a lot from a researcher named Samuel Bowles, even though he was a communist.  I know that truth can be found anywhere, and that everybody has some of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that to say that education in America is controlled, as all institutions in society are.  The controllers are doing it with an agenda. Unfortunately, the agenda is hidden from most.  This means that if you are not an insider, you must infer or deduce what that agenda is. We can tell what the plan is by what the plan is producing. Education is critical in society because it is the way that the youth in society are molded.  They are the future of society, and the way in which they are conditioned to think determines just about every major element of how society will work in the future. If you can control what the young think, you can program the way that the society will function when they reach adulthood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charlotte Iserbyt, author of the monumental book &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America&lt;/span&gt;, has a video that explains how she was trained to infiltrate the community and get them to accept the changes that were being made to the educational system.  It is really sinister and subtle the way in which she worked. Notice how subtle, but powerful, her training was to achieve this. This information is chilling when you think of the level of control of the people who run this system. It seems to be a cakewalk for these people to manipulate and control the thinking of adults as well as their children. The unaware are as gullible as unthinking automatons when faced with the sophisticated psychological strategies being used against them.  This is a must-see.  You should also read her book mentioned above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/DDyDtYy2I0M&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/DDyDtYy2I0M&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/4366045453038322085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/4366045453038322085?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/4366045453038322085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/4366045453038322085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/10/educational-system-covert-mind-control.html' title='The Educational System-Covert Mind Control?'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-3686788805879817283</id><published>2009-10-07T06:18:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-07T10:48:29.713-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="banks"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="economics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="gold"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="hyperinflation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="inflation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="money"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="silver"/><title type='text'>Some Observations Regarding Economics</title><content type='html'>Everybody knows that we&#39;re experiencing some tough times. I read a lot of information on economics and finance.  My opinion of the current economic situation is that it was predictable.  There appears to be two forces at work here, but first I will talk about the monetary situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In previous times, numerous substances were used as money.  Tobacco, sea shells, tally sticks, salt, gold, silver, etc., have all been used as money.  Historically speaking, the substances that functioned as the best forms of money have been gold and silver.  I understand this, and a number of people understand this as well.  This is the reason why the price of gold and silver are so high today, and why they do a better job of preserving their value, regardless of what happens in the world&#39;s financial markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While gold and silver are excellent forms of money, they do have some disadvantages. They are bulky and hard to carry around.  It is almost impossible to carry around gold for everyday transactions because it is so valuable. And you can forget about using silver for that because it is extremely heavy.  Another problem is that they are very rare.  Although the rarity of gold and silver make it valuable, it also makes it virtually impossible for them to be used as money because there just isn&#39;t enough of it to support world trade. Some of these facts may be the reason why the world&#39;s financiers choose to manipulate and suppress the gold and silver commodity exchanges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So although I know that gold and silver are great for preserving your wealth from inflation and hyperinflationary destruction of financial (paper) assets, everybody does not have this option.  With over six billion people in the world today, there just isn&#39;t enough gold and silver to make world commerce work.  That&#39;s just a cold, hard fact.  This is why credit is used as money.  There is no limit to how much can be produced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the same thing that is good about credit is also a weakness of it.  Because there is no limit to how much credit can be produced, this can also cause problems in society, and we are experiencing them now.  If credit is to be used, there should have been some sort of limit placed on how much would be emitted.  The old saying is that &#39;absolute power corrupts absolutely&#39;, and we&#39;re seeing this happen with the big banks.  Unfortunately, the average person is being given the bill for the wayward antics and tendencies of these banks.  They basically got no penalty, while average people are the ones who will pay the penalty and the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Times will probably get tougher for average people, and especially for people that depend upon a job for their income.  But people who can take advantage of world trade (outside of the United States), and people who can participate in technological innovations will probably soar ahead with financial growth opportunities.  But those who are left back with the old ways of doing things will be left behind.  The economic environment is changing, and the person looking for a job will be left behind if s/he does not develop marketable skills that will be in demand today, and in the future.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/3686788805879817283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/3686788805879817283?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/3686788805879817283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/3686788805879817283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/10/some-observations-regarding-economics.html' title='Some Observations Regarding Economics'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-430350035316176914</id><published>2009-09-30T07:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T19:24:43.375-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Iran"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Israel"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="nuclear weapons"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Obama"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Ron Paul"/><title type='text'>I&#39;m Just Wondering...</title><content type='html'>...how does the US dictate to another country what they can do with their nuclear program(s)?  The US has more nuclear weapons than any other country on the planet.

In fact, they flatly state that they have them and that they are ready, willing and able to use them on anybody!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anybody told the US what to do with their nuclear policy (or any other policy, for that matter), the US would tell them to take a hike!

But this swine flu vaccination deal is just rotten from the top to the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vaccine is being pushed before there is any credible evidence of any epidemic.  Second, the swine flu is not any more virulent than the normal flu.  Also, the vaccine manufacturers have lobbied and got passed laws that make them immune from lawsuits from people that are injured by their vaccines.  There are also reports that they are using more dangerous adjuvants in these vaccines than they are using in other vaccines.  This will only serve to make these vaccines more dangerous to people who take these vaccines.  It is not a good situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when you take into the fact there are reports that local &amp; state governments around the United States are seeking to make these vaccines mandatory.  Early reports are showing that these vaccines are more injurious than the vaccines that are already being given to patients.  I would not take this vaccine, nor let my child take it, personally.

That is ridiculous, given the remedial levels at which television programming is designed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is obvious that the thinking level of most popular television shows is decidedly low. There isn&#39;t any earth-shaking thinking going on here.  This may be ok for some entertainment, but 8 hours of viewing this mental garbage is not &#39;just entertainment&#39;. That&#39;s actually a total day at work! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are kidding ourselves if we think that this is innocuous.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lkwdpl.org/wildideas/propaganda.html&quot;&gt;This is amounting to mental conditioning of America&lt;/a&gt;.  There is a reason why the level of television programming is so low, and it is not to improve the critical thinking skills of television viewers.  Actually, this incessant babble is more designed to entertain, pacify, narcotize and lull the viewer into a false sense of security and a state of dull complacency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scary thing about propaganda and mind control are that they are designed to be invisible to the victim.  In fact, in order for it to work, the victim has to be ignorant of the tactics being used against him! Remember that the people designing the conditioning are doing it for THEIR benefit.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study of propaganda, mind control, mass media, mental programming, social conditioning, persuasion and advertising is probably one of the most important things for people to understand in relationship to television. Although it seems to be harmless, the television is the most powerful tool ever designed for control of public perception and popular opinion.  The greatest danger lies in the fact that television is so ubiquitous, so subtle, and so seemingly harmless, that it is readily dismissed as being such a serious threat to free thought, rational thought, and freedom itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read some of the articles referenced in this article, and do your own research on the topic.  Dictators and other megalomaniacs of years past have only dreamed of having the power at the disposal of the controllers of television programming.  After about 75 or so years of research on this subject, they have the manipulation and control of popular opinion down to a science.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how people can believe that lies and misconceptions are facts, and how they can not tell the truth from lies.  The television programmers construct a mental paradigm a conceptual distance of 3 standard deviations away from truth. In this way, they insure that less than 0.01% of people ever stray far away enough to find the truth.  It has been working for years, and is in no threat of being discovered by the sleeping, dumbed-down masses.  Do your duty and &lt;a href=&quot;http://home.iae.nl/users/lightnet/world/television.htm&quot;&gt;TURN OFF THE TELEVISION&lt;/a&gt;, and do some original thinking, research something independently, or go learn something for a change!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/7Z9dDvfwb-k&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/7Z9dDvfwb-k&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/5447535934585530063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/5447535934585530063?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/5447535934585530063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/5447535934585530063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/09/television-viewing-habits-disturbing.html' title='Television Viewing Habits Disturbing'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-1590534037672853838</id><published>2009-09-21T09:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-21T09:54:10.716-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="911 Truth"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mass media"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="patriotism"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="research"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="troops"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="WTC attacks"/><title type='text'>The 911 Truth Movement Revisited</title><content type='html'>If you believe conventional mass media sources, the only people that question the official recounting of the events surrounding the 911 WTC Attacks are kooks, idiots, wackos, and other people that are not worthy of any attention or consideration.  Everybody knows that the government would never kill its own people. Everybody knows that the mass media never lies.  Everybody knows that our government is good.  Everybody knows that the only people who would question the government are those who are unpatriotic.  Everybody knows that if we question the government and the official 911 story, we weaken our country and do not support our troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, none of the above conclusions have any basis in truth or facts.  Unfortunately, &lt;a href=&quot;http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102718433343&amp;s=10650&amp;e=001R1eY9XxYQ6qOAsT5Ir13GHGV6pJMOiX6OqSrp1wrzQHhdoEr0h8kYk5qNZwMO8gcohAkHNL5bECa7enKtFTQpiSJIXF6HM2A-OKRI5uNdVcw5-BO2-vP2gGzR5J1tGSVHf29yTmfonwBnTY_Kax1Yoyzwshv18UKYhqrPPdrN5s=&quot;&gt;if one would do any research on the above matters&lt;/a&gt;, she would learn that:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-people who question official accounts of events are usually more patriotic than those who just blindly follow,&lt;br /&gt;-many people who question the official 911 story are scientists, architects, engineers and other well-educated professionals,&lt;br /&gt;-governments have killed more of their own citizens than all of the people killed in world wars combined (i.e., USSR, China, Germany, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;-the mass media distorts and manipulates information based on the edicts of the large corporations that pay them billions of dollars in advertising fees&lt;br /&gt;-the US government has started just about every war based on lies (i.e., Korean war, WWI, WWII, Vietnam war, War on Terror, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;-the people who support the troops the most are those who question the official 911 story because the truth would bring them back home and stop them from dying needlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The facts show that there are a lot of logical inconsistencies in the official 911 story. They are too numerous to mention in this article, but there is an abundance of this information on the Internet.  Unfortunately, there is some bad information out there in regards to this topic. It is probably designed to get people to dismiss all questions about this event without critically analyzing the rest of the information. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact of the matter is that it is the civic duty of citizens of a country to learn the facts about their country, regardless of what the mass media or the government say the facts are.  The citizens are the ones who are the real government, anyway. If you read about government, you will learn that it is the job of the citizen to inform the government when it oversteps its bounds, not the duty of the government.  If people are &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;dependent&lt;/span&gt; on the mass media and the government for all of their information and reasoning, this means that they are not &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;independent&lt;/span&gt;! Think about this deeply because the ramifications will affect every aspect of your life, whether you realize it or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the video below for some simple reasoning on this 911 matter:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/NfT54w6mI30&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/NfT54w6mI30&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/1590534037672853838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/1590534037672853838?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/1590534037672853838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/1590534037672853838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/09/911-truth-movement-revisited.html' title='The 911 Truth Movement Revisited'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-6822112209606567980</id><published>2009-09-18T06:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T09:10:55.703-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bankers"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="foreclosure"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="government"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="jobs"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="real estate"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="recession"/><title type='text'>Financial Realities-The Global Debt Crisis</title><content type='html'>Despite the reports of brighter times ahead, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article13534.html&quot;&gt;things are looking just as bleak as ever&lt;/a&gt;. I do not wish to sound like a pessimist, but the reality of the situation is that the elements that have created the recession have not been dealt with to date.  Nothing has really changed except that bankers and others who profited from the financial thievery got paid off again by the government (aka, stimulus package, bailout).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &#39;green shoots&#39; spoken of in the news have not materialized.  There are numerous homes that should be in foreclosure that banks are not moving on so that they can artificially reduce the number of homes that are in foreclosure.  The commercial real estate market is poised to melt down in similar fashion to what happened to the residential real estate market.  Unemployment is not going down any time soon, and all reports show that no progress is being made to create jobs in America.  The Health Care package appears to be a huge expense for a cash-strapped country.  The War in Iraq has now been converted into the War in Iraq and Afghanistan.  China and Japan are trying to get rid of as many dollars as they can, while they are still worth something. The inflation/hyperinflation practices of the US government are going ahead at full speed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on and on, but I think that you&#39;re getting the point. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article13370.html&quot;&gt;It just doesn&#39;t look like any action is being taken that will make the US or world economies any better&lt;/a&gt;. The world&#39;s economy seems to be irrevocably addicted to debt. It almost appears that the world&#39;s economy has been linked and is now being purposely destroyed to create a world wide financial crisis that will be solved by a world authority with the power to control everything on the planet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not sure if that&#39;s good or bad, but I am sure that it will all depend on the intentions of those who seek to rule. Historically, the people that fight their way to the top of the heap are usually in it for themselves and their friends, and everybody else gets screwed. The people get a bunch of platitudes and good-sounding speeches, and not much more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But maybe things will be different this time. Maybe people who are power brokers will shower average people with abundance, freedom and a happy way of life. Maybe they will educate the children to be intelligent and industrious.  Maybe they will enable the peoples of the world to advance the newest technologies and enhance the quality of life for all people on Earth. Maybe there will be no more wars, no more exploitation, no more discrimination, no more terrorist attacks, no more victims. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How probable is this, given the history of mankind?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/6822112209606567980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/6822112209606567980?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6822112209606567980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6822112209606567980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/09/financial-realities-global-debt-crisis.html' title='Financial Realities-The Global Debt Crisis'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-6640734972032981041</id><published>2009-09-15T10:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T10:45:30.862-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="America"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bailout"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="economic crisis"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Jim Rogers"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Obama"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="socialist"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Wall Street"/><title type='text'>Are you listening?

Some people are concerned about this, but others display the usual lethargy and apathy about these developments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks like any other issue. There are at least 2 sides to this.  Of course, this is a threat to American sovereignty if a intergovernmental authority or unelected group of people have power over American, Mexican or Canadian government authority.  There is a danger of tyranny whenever groups of people that make decisions over others have no accountability.  The old saying is that &quot;Absolute power corrupts absolutely.&quot;  When people have absolute authority over others, they often look out for their own interests, and are prone to use others for their own profit and convenience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This could be also seen to be a transitional period when the authority of local government and elected officials is being slowly transferred to higher levels, such as to regional, and international levels.  In the short term, this represents a threat to the American way of life, and also to American interests. But from a higher perspective, this is how the economies of the world can be equalized so that wages, resources and training can be more uniform. It will be a painful process, but it may lead to a better world down the line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These events are merely occurrences. What they mean is subject to individual interpretation.  I am not sure if world government would be a good thing. It sounds great, but so did other concepts like capitalism, communism, socialism and nationalism.  But all of these concepts have been a justification for exploitation, extermination and oppression of millions of people in the world. I fear that a group of world leaders would be able to set up a system of world oppression and control that could not be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all that said, I am presenting some videos that may give some more information about these topics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/2kjsy2Z3kdI&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/2kjsy2Z3kdI&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/6hiPrsc9g98&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/6hiPrsc9g98&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/C5D8BF8MvG8&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/C5D8BF8MvG8&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/eB7OwPk5Z78&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/eB7OwPk5Z78&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/6723031922570039378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/6723031922570039378?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6723031922570039378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/6723031922570039378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-us-as-we-know-it-over.html' title='Is the US as We Know It Over?'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-3196688677980089828</id><published>2009-09-11T09:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-12T11:59:01.124-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="911"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="911 Truther"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="conspiracy theory"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="WTC attacks"/><title type='text'>911 WTC is Here Again</title><content type='html'>...but did we learn anything?  Collectively, the answer is a definite NO. The majority of people out there actually believe the spurious information being given to them in reference to the WTC attacks.  But I STILL haven&#39;t seen any information or evidence that even remotely explain the observations and anomalies that were mentioned by alleged &quot;911 Truthers&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, many (if not most) people are hopeless conformists, and just go along with the &quot;Powers-That-Be&quot; so as not to &quot;rock the boat&quot; and bring themselves under scrutiny.  I know that most people are not intellectually courageous enough to challenge the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;status quo&lt;/span&gt;, and to deal with the ramifications of that.  I won&#39;t go into details about those ramifications, but will leave it to your imagination to explore those on your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot;

It will probably get a lot worse before it gets better. Without jobs, without any manufacturing industry, or any other basic industries, I&#39;m not sure about what would initiate an economic recovery in America.  Most of the jobs in the country were dependent upon production of goods.  But America isn&#39;t producing much these days. Most of America&#39;s manufacturing capacity was exported out of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason given for this is the massive regulation of business, as well as the long list of taxes and other regulatory control over businesses.  Some regulation is necessary, but at a certain point it becomes a burden on business, and actually serves to make American businesses uncompetitive with similar foreign businesses that do not have these barriers to profit. Taxes have the same effect. Regulations can also be used as a way for the politically-connected to eliminate the competition.  Refer to the incident of Tucker, and how he was eliminated by the Big 3 Automobile companies when he developed a superior product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I do have some problems with communist ideology.  It is just not in line with human psychology or motivation.  It sounds good, but never works in practice. It can&#39;t work in practice because people are mainly motivated by self-interest, not by working for the common good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, on the other hand, true capitalism has never been used in America.  Also, capitalism, in practice, has been based on the exploitation of indigenous peoples of the world. Capitalism has only been used when natural resources can be stolen for free, without paying the people who may happen to live on top of them. This leads to the economic and social ills with which we are already very familiar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any event, check out this video below which deals with the massive amount of people who used to profit from the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;status quo&lt;/span&gt;, but who are now its victims. They couldn&#39;t foresee that they were on the road to disaster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/1kjccvJisbo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/1kjccvJisbo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/feeds/3326036198055614302/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/14002192/3326036198055614302?isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/3326036198055614302'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14002192/posts/default/3326036198055614302'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davedyesfriends.blogspot.com/2009/09/economic-crisis-is-still-in-full-effect.html' title='Economic Crisis is Still in Full Effect'/><author><name>Dave Dye</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06346199246149760441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002192.post-4921177369549297971</id><published>2009-09-09T06:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T06:30:00.613-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="American Empire"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="economist"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="freedom"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="responsibility"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="YouTube"/><title type='text'>Marc Faber Tells It Like It Is</title><content type='html'>I found this video on YouTube.

I hate to sound like a pessimist, but I haven&#39;t seen anything compelling coming from any government actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then again, they say that a country gets the type of government that it deserves. If this is the case, then the average American is corrupt, lazy, and unable to handle the level of responsibility that freedom demands.  Yes, the truth hurts, but the proof is in the results reaped from the thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite all of this negative-sounding information, I still think that freedom will prevail.
