Well, it's time we quit pretending to be a capitalist nation...

After all the federal reserve owns most of the nation's mortgages now. Oh, and most of the insurance policies. So let's admit that the federal reserve, a private bank(yes, it is), now has near absolute control over the economy. Why don't we just say,"Mr. Rockefeller, can I get food today?" I mean, they are one of the families with ownership in the fed, with the Morgans and some others. The federal government is allowing them to gain control, at least in part because they don't understand how the system works. They seem to think the government owns the fed. Nope.

Of course, right now, we're in a race to see which will collapse first: the Euro or the US dollar. The German economy, which give the Euro most of its strength has been faltering. France has had double digit unemployment for ages, and Britain has refused to abandon the Pound. Of course, China's propping up the dollar now, because they have so much invested in the worth of the dollar.

The real question they aren't asking is: What is money? It is a store of value, which is why unbacked or fractional paper systems don't work. Any semiprecious metal will do, because the value is stored in the fact that it is difficult to increase the supply. Silver, gold, and copper would all work fairly well at this. Yes, copper oxidizes, but look at older (wheat) pennies, and they look less aged than "new" pennies. At any rate, point is that they hold value because they cost in time and effort to produce. Paper doesn't. Electrons certainly don't.

He won't even say when human life begins...

yet he's running for President of the United States. He stated that it was above his pay grade. This isn't exactly classified information that would be possibly kept from a first term Senator. This is a moral question, answerable by faith, love of life/death, and ethics.

One blog I check has started calling him "Moloch Obama". Some may think that's harsh, but let's take a real look at what we have these days. When they excavate our civilization who know how long hence, what will they find at the abortion clinics? I mean, don't they use incinerators for disposal? So, they'll find great furnaces with the remains of untold numbers of babies. Sounds like a temple to Moloch to me.

Are you going to tell me there's no worship that goes on in these places? Every act we do is an act of worship in some way, but of God, of someone else, of self, animals, life, or death. When we do anything we attach worth to it. Abortion is both a worship of self and a worship of death. In a way it is the Nietzschian ideal: their act declares supremacy of themselves, and that nothing should come after.

The Roman Empire was so repulsed by the Phoenician worship that they obliterated them completely, after being nearly conquered. This same empire that took EVERYONE in, destroyed them. So, who will come and destroy us?
