Peter Schiff Animation: We’re Not Paying the Chinese Back

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

This is a part of a speech made by Peter Schiff, entitled “Why the Meltdown Should Have Surprised No One” at the Ludwig von Mises Institute in 2009.

Peter Schiff is widely credited for having predicted the housing collapse and economic downturn in advance.  He is an investment broker, author and financial commentator. Schiff is CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc. and CEO of Euro Pacific Precious Metals, LLC, a gold and silver dealer based in New York City.

I highly recommend this insightful, easy-to-understand, and at times, humorous animation.  Created by DSBac.

Pentagon Created the Arab Spring Over a Decade Ago

Posted on Jan 02, 2012 in Global & National News, Police, Military, & War, Political Issues

Kevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net

The Arab Spring uprisings were arguably the most significant events of the last 12 months. Protests are still raging across the region, even after regimes were toppled. Journalist and author F. William Engdahl gives his view on the Arab world in 2012. - RT

Hayden’s Note:

I’ve been writing about this since it started, and stated then, as I do now, that these “uprisings” are merely Western-sponsored intervention, riding on the coat tails of real grievances.  It is a global de-stabilization operation.  Egypt is a prime example – the protests have started again once the people realized they had been fleeced.

“Alone in the Wilderness” is the story of Dick Proenneke, living in the Alaska wilderness in 1968. He filmed his adventures and day-to-day life using an 8mm camera and tripod. The footage, along with the contents of his journals, were put together in a fascinating documentary.

I watched the entire thing and I couldn’t help but think, “This guy has the solution.” Although it is nearly impossible for most of us to replicate what he did, his lifestyle is certainly an ideal we should all tend to. Free from the bonds of materialism, debts, and mass media indoctrination, watching this tough old man appreciating nature and just doing what he has to do to stay alive is a vivid reminder that all of the rest is just a mere illusion.

Hayden’s Note:

See my shipping container cabin project over at www.ElysianFieldsProject.com or mirrored at www.ShippingContainerHomestead.com!  Working on some of my own videos as we speak…

Lulu is a single mom who had gone back to school and didn’t have the time nor interest in working full-time just to pay the rent.  So when she had to move out of her more conventional home, she decided to move herself and her daughter into a shipping container!

With little building experience, Lulu spent just one month cutting windows and a doorway into the container, along with installing foam board insulation and a basic kitchen (complete with propane-powered campstove and an on-demand water heater).

After she and her daughter moved into the cozy 8′ by 20′ foot home, she fitted it with a bed, couch, bookshelf, and even managed to get some kitchen cabinets into the 160 square foot box.

When Lulu decided they needed a bit more space, she went from shipping containers to trucking trailers and began to build their new bedroom addition on a used flatbed trailer....

Televised congressional hearings often serve as a platform for members of Congress to berate, bloviate and showboat for the cameras, but at a House Natural Resources Committee hearing Tuesday, historian Douglas Brinkley wouldn’t stand for it.

“You just be quiet,” Alaskan Representative Young demanded.

“You don’t own me,” Brinkley shot back. “I pay your salary!”

Washington Republican Rep. Doc Hastings, the chairman of the committee, tried to break it up, but then Brinkley interrupted him.

“I work for the private sector,” Brinkley said.

When the chairman returned the floor to Young, the rumble began anew.

“We’re the ones who ask the questions, and you’re the one who answers the questions,” Young said. “Boy I’m really pissed right now.”

Peter Schiff Takes On ‘the 99%’

Peter Schiff, CEO and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., went to Zuccotti Park and took on Occupy Wall Street protesters and MRCTV caught some of the action.

Note to the Socialist and Collectivist members (those who believe in wealth redistribution and condemn private property rights) of the Occupy Movement: If you’re going to try and debate someone as like Peter Schiff on economic matters, arrive with more than recitations and talking points and please, please have a better response than simply, “…repeal the Bush tax cuts!” for every single question.

Economic Hitmen – an Animated Short

Kevin Hayden - TruthisTreason.net

John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, narrates an animated short, briefly explaining how banking cartels such as the IMF turn sovereign countries into debt slaves, build corporation-nations, and enrich the rich.

Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an “economic hit man” for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving U.S. foreign policy and awarding lucrative contracts to American business. “Economic hit men (EHMs) are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars,” Perkins writes.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is an extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations.

Perkins writes that his economic projections cooked the books Enron-style to convince foreign governments to accept billions of dollars of loans from the World Bank and other institutions to build dams, airports, electric grids, and other infrastructure he knew they couldn’t afford. The loans were given on condition that construction and engineering contracts went to U.S. companies. Often, the money would simply be transferred from one bank account in Washington, D.C., to another one in New York or San Francisco....

Nigel Farage just doesn’t get any better than this.  He continually lays into global leaders and fellow European council members. He doesn’t hold back and it’s refreshing to hear him speak.

Nigel Farage, while a bit eccentric in his choice of suit colors, is an outspoken and often humorous British politician.  He is the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), a position he previously held from September 2006 to November 2009.

I have no words to express the sheer lunacy of the following report:

There’s something else happening here. Some investors are not confident with what gold is backed by, or if it’s backed by anything at all, as compared to something like the US dollar. Investors are comfortable that the U.S. dollar is backed by the American government, so no matter what is happening to the American economy, something like the U.S. dollar is backed by the Federal Reserve …that’s going to be around a year from now. That’s a much more comfortable investment for them.

It is the 3rd high-rise tower to collapse into its own footprint on September 11th, 2001.  Please watch this and ask yourself, “Why DID that building come down and why do some many reputable professionals dispute the official NIST report?”

Join actor Ed Asner and Architect Richard Gage, AIA as they narrate an unfolding story that decimates the official account (“collapse due to normal office fires”) of this 47 story high-rise which was destroyed on the afternoon of 9/11 in record time: top to bottom in under 7 seconds – and at free-fall acceleration for a third of its fall.

Short and sweet.  During the FOX / Google GOP Debate, Ron Paul is asked what he would do as President in order to restore and assist the 10th Amendment.

“There’s growing concern among Americans about the size and scope of the federal government and it’s infringement upon state and individual rights. If you’re elected president, how do you plan to restore the 10th Amendment, hold the federal government only to those enumerated powers in the Constitution, and allow states to govern themselves.”

His answer?  Veto everything that violates the Constitution.  I was a bit shocked to see how well the crowd received his response.

And here are all of Congressman Ron Paul’s answers condensed into 7 minutes. Yes, that’s all he the time he was afforded to speak once again, however, the polls show he still emerged as the debate winner.

It is interesting to note that this program was sponsored by ScottTrade and appeared on Yahoo Finance.  Just some food for thought…  It’s becoming a mainstream, legitimate concern.  What have you done to hedge yourself against a potential collapse?

The Ayn Rand Institute held its annual “Atlas Shrugged Revolution” dinner Thursday night in New York City.

In attendance were a number of financial luminaries and hedge fund managers, including Peter Schiff of EuroPacific Capital, John Tamny of RealClearMarkets, Dmitry Balyasny of Balyasny Asset Management and Scott Schweighauser of Aurora Investment Management.

The setting was the tony St. Regis Hotel on Fifth Avenue but there was nothing pleasant about the primary message coming from both the speakers and those in attendance: Western civilization is heading for hell and a hand basket, just like Rand predicted in her seminal novel.

In the accompanying video, ARI president Yaron Brook tells Henry why Rand’s devotees believe the global economy is “heading for collapse.”

In a nutshell, Brook believes politicians and policymakers have “no solutions” for the problems facing the globe....

Republican Presidential Candidate Rep. Ron Paul was booed at last night’s CNN/Tea Party debate while explaining his view on why America was attacked on September 11, 2001.

During the debate, the Texas congressman was asked if he planned to decrease defense spending to balance the budget.

Paul agreed that there is waste to cut, specifically dealing with outdated technology. However he said that a lot more money could be saved if America embraced a policy of non-intervention. He added that the United States is in 130 countries and has 900 bases around the world, and added that “we’re broke.”

Paul then went a step forward, criticizing America’s global presence, especially in the Middle East, as being a catalyst for terrorism.

“We have to be honest with ourselves. What would we do if another country, say, China, did to us what we do to all those countries over there?” Paul asked.

His view of foreign non-intervention received applause from the audience. It was also the subject of his latest Texas Straight Talk column marking the anniversary of 9/11....

Leading trend forecaster Gerald Celente, of the Trends Research Institute, discusses a host of issues and topics with Infowars Nightly News host Alex Jones. Among other things, Celente says he’s never seen a summer like 2011, and warns that this Winter will not be a good one for Americans:

Gerald Celente On Collapse and Depression:

When is it going to collapse? As I’ve said, I’ve never seen a summer like this. I think we’re going to see the Winter of Discontent… You’re going to start seeing an unraveling more and more every day as you watch the news. So, October is my month, and it’s only a guesstimate, that we’re going to see the big unraveling.

Even if it doesn’t happen in October, because you don’t know what phony schemes they’re going to come up with, it’s going to happen eventually. And, that’s why I’m fully invested in gold.

Look at housing. How many times did they say the real estate market is turning around. It’s worse. It’s worse than it was during the Great Depression, and it’s only going to get worse.

Just because you hold the deed to a piece of land doesn’t mean that you own it.  These days, we are faced with an ever- increasing presence and implementation of the United Nations Agenda 21 plan and eminent domain laws.  If you become a political target on any number of levels, various tax laws can be used against you in order to strip you of your real estate, your homestead and your dreams.  Nuisance laws and municipal code enforcement can penalize you to the point of bankruptcy or forfeiture of your house.

Something so basic as private property laws have become a playground for government lawyers and aspiring politicians, where they perverse the common definitions and commit blatant theft in the name of “beautification projects,” new highways, strip malls and to appease some arbitrary, obscure law.

Just because something is written into legislation doesn’t mean that it’s legal, moral, ethical or Constitutional.  Hopefully people will begin to get angry enough to start doing something about this.  Perhaps it will take another Ruby Ridge for this topic to be brought back into the mainstream....

What IS Money? Fed Chairman Bernanke says, “Gold isn’t Money”

TruthisTreason.net – Kevin Hayden

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke faced off with economic genius Representative Ron Paul during his monetary policy report to Congress on Wednesday.  The head of the Fed was forced to respond to accusations of enriching already rich corporations while failing to help Main Street, while he was pushed on his views on gold.

“Gold isn’t money,” Bernanke said.

-in part from Infowars.com

Hayden’s Note:

I beg to differ.  Gold has been a form of money – if not one of THE most popular forms – for thousands of years, along with livestock, other precious metals and durable goods.  Gold isn’t money?  Then what is money?

Princeton defines money as “the official currency issued by a government or national bank.”

However, Thomas Greco defined money as:

“Money is anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value, and occasionally, a standard of deferred payment.”

The Google dictionary defines it as “The assets, property, and resources owned by someone or something; wealth” or “financial gain.”

Source: Tech Dirt

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous. A few weeks back, we noted that Senators Amy Klobuchar, John Cornyn and Christopher Coons had proposed a new bill that was designed to make “streaming” infringing material a felony. At the time, the actual text of the bill wasn’t available, but we assumed, naturally, that it would just extend “public performance” rights to section 506a of the Copyright Act.

Supporters of this bill claim that all it’s really doing is harmonizing US copyright law’s civil and criminal sections. After all, the rights afforded under copyright law in civil cases cover a list of rights: reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works or perform the work. The rules for criminal infringement only cover reproducing and distributing — but not performing. So, supporters claim, all this does is “harmonize” copyright law and bring the criminal side into line with the civil side by adding “performance rights” to the list of things.

If only it were that simple. But, of course, it’s not. First of all, despite claims to the contrary, there’s a damn good reason why Congress did not include performance rights as a criminal/felony issue: because who would have thought that it would be a criminal act to perform a work without permission?...

How Wind Turbines Work Thumbnail

How Wind Turbines Work

Posted on Jun 02, 2011 in Alternative Energy & Architecture

TruthisTreason.net – Kevin Hayden

Source: Energy.gov

Wind is a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth’s surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth’s terrain, bodies of water, and vegetation. Humans use this wind flow, or motion energy, for many purposes: sailing, flying a kite, and even generating electricity.

The terms wind energy or wind power describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.

So how do wind turbines make electricity?  Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity....
