Deflation: How Can It Be Stopped?

Article essentially says keep your eye on the mood of the people.
clipped from www.elliottwave.com
"You were correct with your predictions of deflation. But now that it's here – isn't the government still in control? Why can't they do [fill in the blank] to stop it?"
There are lots of articles out there – well-written articles written by qualified authors – arguing how the government can do this or that to stop deflation.
In our opinion, they ALL miss one key point: social mood.
Conventional economists look at the deflationary problem in a very mechanistic and cause-and-effect kind of way
Here at Elliott Wave International, we have long argued that this is not how it works. Bob Prechter, EWI's founder and president, takes five chapters in his Conquer the Crash* – which predicted deflation long before it became mainstream news – to explain why; here's an excerpt. (My advice: Do read the book to understand this crucial point completely.)
people are not machines. They get emotional. People become depressed, fearful, cautious and angry during depressions; that’s essentially what causes them

Glenn Beck predicts doomsday, revolution!

President Obama has been criticized for warning of economic catastrophe but Glenn Becks prediction is far more dire. Beck says the military is preparing for a revolution.

Iceland Revolts, Now Latvia, Who Next?

Latvia's Prime Minister and his "center--right" (whatever that means) government have resigned. The second domino to fall, after Iceland, and it follows on the heels of civil disobedience protests in the capital city last month that resulted in 100 arrests and more than 40 injuries. One of the opposition party chairmen said it was the only way to help boost public trust in the unpopular government. Ah, that mysterious "trust" thing again. As if any of us should trust these marauding bands of criminals that have spread like a cancer across the globe. Central banks and fractional reserve banking anyone?

Observers say any new administration will have a difficult task reviving the economy. Yep. Whenever the debt mongerers get their hooks into a country, there's a bad ending coming. First Iceland, then Latvia, next . . . .

Jefferson's Danbury "wall of separation" Letter Exposed

I find myself more and more in line with Jefferson's thinking politically.

'A Wall of Separation'
FBI Helps Restore Jefferson's Obliterated Draft

A key document on view in "Religion and the Founding of the American Republic" (see LC Information Bulletin, May 1998), is the letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, which contains the phrase "a wall of separation between church and state." With the help of the FBI, the draft of the letter, including Jefferson's obliterated words, are now known.
computer technology could be used to uncover Jefferson's inked-out words
the entire draft of the Danbury Baptist letter is now legible (below).
By examining both documents, viewers will be able to discern Jefferson's true intentions in writing the celebrated Danbury Baptist letter.

Man Stops IRS Lien on Bank Account

Man Stops IRS Lien on Bank Account with Jurisdictionary!
I had been fighting the IRS for years. They claimed I owed several thousand dollars, yet they repeatedly ignored my demands for a complete assessment as mandated by law and the IRS code.

One day I received a notice from Wachovia bank, where I had a savings account, that the IRS served them with a "Notice of Levy / Lien". They told me they were wiping out my account and giving it to the IRS!

And, within the week they did just that.

I promptly sued Wachovia for civil theft.

They sent one of their 100 or so lawyers they keep on retainer to oppose me.

Without responding to their vacuous arguments, I noticed the court of "Schultz vs. IRS", US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, wherein it was ruled that a "Notice of Lien or Levy" is NOT a lien or levy. I argued that a lawful lien or levy must have a federal property seizure warrant signed by a federal judge to be valid. The IRS routinely skips this step.

D of Independence Says Alter or Abolish - Choose 1

The spirit of liberty that led 3% of the people to effectively resist tyranny in 1770s is on the move again! The long train of injuries and usurpations is defining a course of action and illuminating the enemies of individual, political, and national freedom. It is time to get your marching orders.
This update regards the
upcoming historic Continental Congress 2009 event
to be held later this year.  As part of CC 2009,
delegates selected by the People from each of the
fifty states will convene to discuss the
Government’s ongoing violations of the
Constitution and strategies the People can employ
to peaceably curtail the abuse.  Although these
violations have been widely debated for years, it
is the Government’s patent refusal to respond to
any and all First Amendment Petitions for Redress
that now compel the People to justly and actively
resist the tyranny.

We are engaged in a most serious struggle between
good and evil, between defenders of our Republic and
proponents of democracy. Our political parties and
elected officials have seized power from the People.
A doctrine of non-resistance by a free People to
arbitrary power and oppression is absurd.
The cause of
America is the cause of the world

No Bravery

moving video at site. The forgotten war.

James Blunt - No Bravery Lyrics

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

Abuse of the Week


Abuse of the Week

With the recent signings of executive orders by President Obama, we felt we were turning the page on the tortuous ways of the Bush administration.  But like a reoccurring nightmare, former Bush administration official John Yoo surfaced on the pages of the Wall Street Journal criticizing President Obama for having the nerve to ban the use of torture.

yoo_t.jpg

     Yes, Yoo actually wrote in a major newspaper that President Bush authorized a known torture technique based on Yoo’s own legal "reasoning"!  This is akin to a lawyer writing that his client did, in fact, murder another person, but it is OK because the lawyer had advised him that it was OK under some imaginary legal standard.  We look forward to the day when John Yoo has to explain his role in torture to an investigative commission – or, better yet, to a jury.

How to Create an Angry American

Don't forget what has happened.
We have the same government.
The names have changed to protect the guilty.
Be prepared for a new wave of lies.
They have created the problem and now offer solutions. Don't buy it. It is a trap.
We need to begin governing ourselves once again at an accountable level, the state and local level. We have the technology to do this better than ever before.

State Lawmakers Move to Reclaim Sovereignty

Lawmakers in 20 states move to reclaim sovereignty
Obama's $1 trillion deficit-spending 'stimulus plan' seen as last straw


Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon
NEW YORK – As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.

So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

"What we are trying to do is to get the U.S. Congress out of the state's business," Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon told WND.

A Layman's Explanation of Government Intervention

clipped from www.dailypaul.com

I am tired of hearing people insist that the Fed can expand credit all it wants. Sometimes an analogy clarifies a subject, so let's try one.

It may sound crazy, but suppose the government were to decide that the health of the nation depends upon producing Jaguar automobiles and providing them to as many people as possible. To facilitate that goal, it begins operating Jaguar plants all over the country, subsidizing production with tax money. To everyone's delight, it offers these luxury cars for sale at 50 percent off the old price. People flock to the showrooms and buy. Later, sales slow down, so the government cuts the price in half again. More people rush in and buy.

Sales again slow, so it lowers the price to $900 each. People return to the stores to buy two or three, or half a dozen. Why not? Look how cheap they are! Buyers give Jaguars to their kids and park an extra one on the lawn.

Finally, the country is awash in Jaguars. Alas, sales slow again, and the government panics.
