Devaluation of the dollar - the new fiscal policy

Ben Bernanke "it's worth noting that there have been times when exchange rate policy has been an effective weapon against deflation. A striking example from U.S. history is Franklin Roosevelt's 40 percent devaluation of the dollar against gold in 1933-34, enforced by a program of gold purchases and domestic money creation. (domestic money creation equals the Federal Reserve printing money) The devaluation and the rapid increase in money supply it permitted ended the U.S. deflation remarkably quickly. If nothing else, the episode illustrates that monetary actions can have powerful effects on the economy, even when the nominal interest rate is at or near zero, as was the case at the time of Roosevelt's devaluation."

Bernanke quoting this in his speech shows what the template it. Get ready for a 40% devaluation in the dollar.

Santorum: “Imposing” our values on each other is “what America’s about”

Thank you to TheEndRun.com on Dec 31, 2011

“Don’t give me this idea — I hear this: ‘Oh, you’re a moralist. You’re trying to impose your values.’ Everybody’s trying to impose their values. That’s what America’s about.”
– Rick Santorum, at a campaign event in Muscatine, Iowa on Dec 29, 2011 [source]

“Nobody has a right to impose their values on anyone else.”
– Ron Paul [source]

“If we guarantee your liberty as an individual, that means you have civil rights to live your lifestyle. You actually can do things that I might disapprove of. But I’m very tolerent. As a libertarian, I say “Well, I might not endorse your lifestyle — you might smoke some things and drink some things and eat some things and act certain ways that I totally abhor — but as long as you don’t hurt anyone else, I’m not gonna bother you.”
– Ron Paul, 1988 [source]

“Would you rather be a Neoconservative or a Progressive? That is a trick question. The trick is in the fact that, although there may be differences between the rhetoric and short-term agendas of these groups, their long-term goals actually are the same. They may differ over how to fight a war in the Middle East but not over the right of the President to wage such a war empowered by the UN instead of Congress. They may differ over what kind of speech should be forbidden (“subversive” speech vs. “hate” speech, for example) but not over the right of the government to forbid it. They may differ over how fast to bankrupt the nation to provide benefits for its citizens but not over the assumption that providing benefits is what governments are supposed to do. They disagree over tactics, timing, and style, but not objectives. They fight for dominance within the New World Order, but they work together to build it. That is because both groups have embraced the underlying ideology of global collectivism.”
– G. Edward Griffin, Left vs Right: The Illusion of Opposites

“Regardless of what name you give it, regardless of how you re-label it to make it seem new or different, collectivism is totalitarianism. … In the United States and most European countries there is a mirage of two political parties supposedly opposing each other, one on the Right and the other on the Left. Yet, when we get past the party slogans and rhetoric, we find that the leaders of both parties support all the principles of collectivism … . Indeed, they represent a right wing and a left wing, but they are two wings of the same ugly bird called collectivism. A true choice for freedom will not be found with either of them. ”
– G. Edward Griffin, The Future is Calling (Part 1)

Politics and the United States of America isn't about what I believe or you believe it is about what the Constitution says. It's not a matter of belief, this is truth and fact we are dealing with.

Occtupy...The new face of occupy Wall Street

While Time Magazine named "the protester" the person of the year for 2011. Lately there is no bigger story than the occupy Wall St. movement that is happening. What is so dangerous, in a good way, about the OWS movement is there is no heard to cut off as there was in the Wikileaks scandal.

So because there is no clear leader for OWS we are calling this new movement of the sheep bleating against the wolves that surround us "The Occtupy Movement". Just as an octopus has 8 legs this new movement has many heads, so cutting off one head will not lead to the downfall of the movement.

Stand up to the wolves that are stealing our liberty, money, and our lives and vote for Ron Paul 2012

World Leaders of Today... hu?

We hear terms like New World Order, Global Banking Cartel, Council on Foreign Relations, The Whore of Babylon etc etc. But who are these people and how did they get into the place they are in. I will say this it's who you know not what you know.

Is Ron Paul an Isolationist - What is his foreign Policy

The main reason some Republicans do not like Ron Paul is first, because Rush Limbaugh does not want Ron Paul to win and the reason Rush Limbaugh doesn't support Ron Paul is because Rush calls him an isolationist. So I will explain what an isolationist is and see how this lines up with Ron Paul's foreign policy...

Isolationism as defined by Wikipedia

Isolationism is the policy or doctrine of isolating one's country from the affairs of other nations by declining to enter into alliances, foreign economic commitments, international agreements, etc., seeking to devote the entire efforts of one's country to its own advancement and remain at peace by avoiding foreign entanglements and responsibilities.

So while there are many countries i.e. Switzerland that many call an isolationist country. However, look at the definition "by declining to enter into alliances, foreign economic commitments, international agreements, etc". Switzerland DOES enter into economic commitments DOES make international agreements etc etc so Switzerland IS NOT truly an isolationist country, rather they are "politically neutral" meaning they do not take sides either for or against any one particular country, group, people etc.

So if the U.S. became an isolationist country we would sever every tie with every country in the world. We would do no trade. We have no allies. No enemies. We would not be able to import or export anything etc etc.

So how does his relate to Ron Paul's foreign policy... THIS IS NOT RON PAUL'S FOREIGN POLICY IN ANY WAY! I do not know how more plainly to s ay this.

Ron Paul is a Constitutionalists meaning he follows the United States Constitution, he uses this great document to provide for the actions he would do as President. The Constitution limits government, it does not limit the public, that is not the reason nor the purpose of the Constitution, but I digress...

Many people call Ron Paul a non-interventionist and this is more correct. A non-interventionist again as defined by Wikipedia...

Nonintervention or non-interventionism is a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct self-defense. This is based on the grounds that a state should not interfere in the internal politics of another state, based upon the principles of state sovereignty and self-determination. A similar phrase is "strategic independence". Historical examples of supporters of non-interventionism are US Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who both favored nonintervention in European Wars while maintaining free trade.

So there is nothing in any statement anywhere on the internet or in print to prove or show that Ron Paul is an isolationist, again he is not an isolationist in anyway.

In short Ron Paul does not believe, because the Constitution does not give the right for the Government to do so, that the Federal Government should go into any country and put our armed forces into that country.

Some ask the question "But JJ what if their is a perceived threat from some country like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc". My answer is simple: first the U.S. Government has NO RIGHT, under the Constitution, to put our armed forces in any other country UNLESS a declaration of war by the Congress is voted on and passed.

So if we have a threat we should start by talking and when and if they declare war on us and are attacking us we should defend our own country. I think we would see a drastic reduction is "threats" when and if we, as the U.S. got out of other countries.

I use the word "threat" in quotes because the very people that want us to go to war are the very ones saying "there is a threat, there is a threat". You always have to consider the source when listening to people and what they say regarding threats.

Others say "But JJ what about the Muslims that want to kill us?" To which I answer as long as Muslims have existed they have wanted to take out the great satan, which is what they call our great country. I think if we left their country, left them alone, didn't prop up fake coo's, didn't overthrow their leaders etc etc, they may still hate us, which is fine, but sabre rattling from some desert somewhere is not really a threat.

If by some chance one of these Muslim countries hops on a boat and putts its armed forces across the pond and lands at our doorstep, Ron Paul's reaction is simple, blow them out of the water!

Ron Paul's view on war...

If a country attacks us and after war has been declared by the congress then...
We engage the enemy, We kill the enemy, we win the war, we come home.
Or in the words of my Italian uncle " Badda-ing badda-boom".

I hope this clears up the idea Rush Limbaugh and others are false putting out that Ron Paul is an isolationist and I hope you will read the issues study the candidates and vote Ron Paul 2012!
