Get Out of the Dollar and Into Tangibles

Every so often, I get an email asking where I would invest my money or why I talk so much about putting my money into tangible goods rather than the stock market or traditional CDs.  From my standpoint, tangibles endure the test of time far better than a fiat paper currency such as the US Dollar.  A fiat currency has value only because of government fiat - or declaration.   And since it is tied to the whims of governing politicians and bankers, it risks inflation, meaning that you will need to shell out more and more dollar bills for the same old product year after year.  Look at the price of gasoline, as an example.  Prices inflate because the dollar is losing it’s fiat value – the Federal Reserve is stretching it too thin by creating more money in circulation with repeated rounds of “quantitative easing.”

So what are tangibles, you ask?  Well, that’s a broad term used to describe many things that are physical; something you can either hold in your hand or touch and is worth something.  Your car is a ‘tangible good’ to an extent, although it has an accelerated depreciation tied to it as soon as you buy it.  It will never be worth as much as it was on the car lot....

Reverse-Engineered Pacemaker Transmitter Enables ‘Anonymous Assassination’, Mass Murder from Firmware Update

IOActive researcher Barnaby Jack has reverse-engineered a pacemaker transmitter to make it possible to deliver deadly electric shocks to pacemakers within 30 feet and rewrite their firmware.

The effect of the wireless attacks could not be overstated — in a speech at the BreakPoint security conference in Melbourne today, Jack said such attacks were tantamount to “anonymous assassination”, and in a realistic, but worse-case scenario, “mass murder”.

In a video demonstration, which Jack declined to release publicly because it may reveal the name of the manufacturer, he issued a series of 830 volt shocks to the pacemaker using a laptop.

The pacemakers contained a “secret function” which could be used to activate all pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in a 30 foot -plus vicinity.

Each device would return model and serial numbers.

“With that information, we have enough information to authenticate with any device in range,” Jack said.

In reverse-engineering the terminals – which communicate with the pacemakers – he discovered no obfuscation efforts and even found usernames and passwords for what appeared to be the manufacturer’s development server....

FBI Foil Own Terror Plot, Again – This Time at Federal Reserve

Posted on Oct 17, 2012 in Alphabet Agencies & Operations, Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Federal Reserve & Bankers, Political Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are giving each other high-fives tonight after arresting a 21 year-old man in a federal sting designed to entrap “terrorists.”  In reality, they found a young man with little self-esteem, dreams of grandeur and martyrdom, and then led him to the New York Federal Reserve with a 1,000 lb. fake bomb.

Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested in downtown Manhattan after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be a 1,000-pound bomb that the Feds gave him at the New York Federal Reserve Bank on Liberty Street in lower Manhattan’s financial district.

Agents set up a sting [and] say the suspect parked a van that he thought was filled with explosives at the Federal Reserve.

He then tried to set the bomb off with a cell phone call made from the Millennium Hotel, across from the World Trade Center. – ABC 

Once the attempt to detonate the bomb was made, the FBI swooped in and arrested the “terrorist” that they created.  We’ve seen this time and time again, and nothing has changed with the storyline since the last 14 Fed-created Terrorists were “foiled.”  I’m sure the agents involved in this amazing arrest are buying each other rounds at a local pub, recalling the miraculous job they did at keeping the Homeland safe from terrorism....

According to a release Wednesday, WikiLeaks will begin publishing 200,000 files relating to the presidential election. The GI (Global Intelligence) files are emails obtained through a hack on private intelligence firm Stratfor, which were leaked to WikiLeaks by Anonymous. The release states:

These GI Files releases will shed insight into key U.S. federal election players… Through this release WikiLeaks aims to inform the U.S. electorate in an unbiased way through the release of source documents from one of the most oddly influential companies in the U.S. today.

WikiLeaks notes that Statfor, “a secretive multi-national private intelligence firm, providing services to large corporations, and government agencies” has a revolving door with government offices and thus the leaked emails could be a source of important information on both Democrats and Republicans in this election. Wednesday marks the beginning of the document dump, so it may take some time before any dirt is dug up (if there is dirt to find).

Swiss Study Shows 147 Technocratic “Super Entities” Rule the World Thumbnail

Swiss Study Shows 147 Technocratic “Super Entities” Rule the World

The Swiss Federal Institute (SFI) in Zurich released a study entitled “The Network of Global Corporate Control” that proves a small consortium of corporations – mainly banks – run the world. A mere 147 corporations which form a “super entity” have control 40% of the world’s wealth; which is the real economy. These mega-corporations are at the center of the global economy. The banks found to be most influential include:

• Barclays
• Goldman Sachs
• JP Morgan Chase & Co
• Vanguard Group
• UBS
• Deutsche Bank
• Bank of New York Melon Corp
• Morgan Stanley
• Bank of America Corp
• Société Générale

However as the connections to the controlling groups are networked throughout the world, they become the catalyst for global financial collapse.

James Glattfelder, complex systems theorist at the SFI explains: “In effect, less than one per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network.”

Using mathematic models normally applied to natural systems, the researchers analyzed the world’s economy....

Heavily Armed Police Raid Organic Farm, Conduct Illegal Search: “He’s a Constitutionalist.”

Posted on Oct 10, 2012 in Constitutional & Liberty Issues, Police, Military, & War

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

On August 16th, 2012, in a sleepy Idaho farm town, heavily-armed members of the Gem County Sheriff’s Office conducted an illegal search of a residence after receiving a domestic violence complaint from a neighbor.

After pulling the occupants from the house at gunpoint, displaying rude and discourteous behavior, and then illegally searching the entire house, along with personal effects, deputies discover what they believed to be a marijuana “grow room.”  One intelligent deputy suddenly has an epiphany, as heard in the video below at 05:20, “We’ll need to get a warrant for this.”

Little late for that, eh?  Funny enough, the grow room turns out to be an aquaponics system for the couple’s organic tomatoes.

But let’s back this scenario up a bit.

Police are enroute to a domestic violence complaint, and 911 transcripts indicate one deputy warning another that the subject of the complaint is a “Constitutionalist.”  Apparently, some of that Federal Fusion Center training did sink in!  It’s okay to politically profile those who follow the words on our Founding document.  Better gear up for a SWAT-entry!...

Mysterious HFT Algorithm Accounted for 4% of Stock Trading Last Week

Posted on Oct 10, 2012 in Economic News, Federal Reserve & Bankers

A single mysterious computer program that placed orders — and then subsequently canceled them — made up 4 percent of all quote traffic in the U.S. stock market last week, according to the top tracker of high-frequency trading activity. The motive of the algorithm is still unclear.

The program placed orders in 25-millisecond bursts involving about 500 stocks, according to Nanex, a market data firm. The algorithm never executed a single trade, and it abruptly ended at about 10:30 a.m. Friday.

Hayden’s Note:

I hadn’t posted about high frequency trading, or HFT, in quite some time, so for those of you who have never heard of this flat-out manipulation, check out these articles:

HR 6566: Mass Fatalities and FEMA – What Are We Not Being Told?

Posted on Oct 08, 2012 in Emergency Preparedness & Survival, Political Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

The United States Congress has just passed a bill instructing FEMA to better prepare for “mass fatalities” in the event of a natural disaster or man-made event.  While this seems prudent for any emergency preparedness organization, the specific wording of the bill gives pause for concern.

In it, Congress amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002, and requires the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency liaise with ”representatives from different communities, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and religious organizations,…” in order to prepare for “funeral homes, cemeteries, and mortuaries [to] be overwhelmed…”

Do we really need a Congressional bill for this? What do they know that they are not warning us of?  Over the last few years, we’ve seen several laws passed and orders made that should make us question what is going on:

FEMA Requests Info on Availability of 140 Million Meals, Blankets and Body Bags for New Madrid Fault Zone

Martial Law, Economic Meltdown & Executive Orders

Doomsday Executive Order or Govt Preparedness? Either Way, It’s Tyrannical

DHS Purchases 200 Million More Rounds of Ammunition

“This is just one of those things that makes the stomach turn: the people who brought us the National Defense Authorization Act (authorizing the detention of US citizens on US soil) now deem it prudent to prepare for mass fatalities on US soil,” writes Simon Black.

BPA’s Real Threat May Be After It Has Metabolized

Posted on Oct 04, 2012 in Health, Food News, & Big Pharma

Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a synthetic chemical widely used in the making of plastic products ranging from bottles and food can linings to toys and water supply lines. When these plastics degrade, BPA is released into the environment and routinely ingested.

New research, however, from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine suggests it is the metabolic changes that take place once BPA is broken down inside the body that pose the greater health threat.  More than 90 percent of all Americans are believed to carry varying levels of BPA exposure.

In recent years, numerous studies have reported alarming associations between BPA exposure and myriad adverse health and development effects, from cancer and neurological disorders to physiological defects and, perhaps, a cause of childhood obesity.

Of particular concern is that BPA exposure is correlated with disruption of estrogen signaling. The chemical’s molecular structure is similar to that of estradiol, one of the human body’s three main estrogens, suggesting that BPA binds to estrogen receptors. The estrogen receptor is designed to grab and hold estradiol and related estrogens....
