CNBC Host Erin Burnett Implies America Should Support Foreign Dictators To Keep Flow Of Cheap Oil
“One more thing,” Burnett remarked. “If this spreads, the United States could take a huge hit because democracy in a place like Saudi Arabia, you’ve talked about who might come in power, what that means for oil prices. They’re going to go stratospheric.”RELATED: CNBC anchor implies US must support dictators to keep cheap oil flowingFLASHBACK: CNBC’s Erin Burnett: We Need China’s Toxic Food And Lead Coated Toys To Keep Economy Strong Social bookmarks Social bookmarks Email this article Email this article Print Print this page
The Real DiLorenzo: A ‘Southern Partisan’ Interview
That’s an interesting way of looking at it. Your last line in the book is, “The genie is out of the bottle.”The genie of centralization. Lincoln let it out of the bottle, for sure.Do you expect it to ever go back, as the United States?Seriously, the only way it could, would be secession. If a big chunk of the United States actually seceded from the federal government and pained it a bit and deprived it of a large amount of its revenue. Otherwise, how else could it possibly happen?Could it possibly return to limited government roots? I can’t see how it could possibly happen.I’m not very optimistic anymore. I was more optimistic when communism fell. I never thought I’d see communism collapse in my lifetime. But, I was thinking for a while, well, if it could happen there, we can get rid of our rotten system. But, the Republican Party, which is in power and in control of things, worked out the direction. They, now, no longer oppose the welfare state. In fact, they’re expanding it because they want to win the votes from all the people on welfare.Sons of Lincoln. I keep having to say it.Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us.
You’re welcome.

Why doesn’t U.S. secure Mexico border?
“Global governance” is taking shape much closer to home than most Americans realize, as Jerome Corsi proves in his New York Times best-selling book that reveals extensive government plans to promote the gradual integration of the U.S. with Mexico and Canada – the so-called “North American Union.” And today only, WND readers can get an autographed copy of “The Late Great USA” for the incredibly low price of $4.95!In the book, Corsi – WND’s senior reporter, who has two No. 1 New York Times bestsellers to his name “Unfit for Command” and “The Obama Nation” – exposes the multifaceted plan to turn the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a North American version of the European Union.Corsi has been widely featured on radio and TV and was ridiculed in August by President Bush as a “conspiracy theorists” for making his case against the Bush administration’s plans – a case Corsi makes with the government’s own documents.The U.S. government’s controversial – many say outrageous – unwillingness to enforce immigration laws and border security is, at least in part, a result of the plans Corsi exposes in “The Late Great USA,” published by WND Books.Understanding the plan to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada, says Corsi, is “the only context in which the current immigration travesty makes sense – and it must be stopped.

Rand Paul: It’s time to end foreign aid, including aid to Israel
Free RepublicBrowse · Search Pings · Mail News/ActivismTopics · Post ArticleSkip to comments.Rand Paul: It’s time to end foreign aid, including aid to IsraelHotair ^ | 01/29/2011 | AllahpunditPosted on Saturday, January 29, 2011 1:50:23 PM by SeekAndFindSkip ahead to 3:15 for the exchange on foreign aid generally and to 4:15 for the key bit. Paul’s not singling Israel out here; it’s Blitzer who brings it up, and Paul’s careful to offer praise before making his case that we simply can’t afford it anymore. He knows he’s suspect on this point because of his surname and has tried to deal with it behind the scenes. Remember this tidbit from that GQ hit piece on him last year? Ron Paul, in addition to his extreme views on the federal government, has been a harsh critic of the Republican Party’s “military adventurism,” and in the past Rand has faithfully echoed his father’s views. He opposed the war in Iraq, once characterized the September 11 attacks as “blowback for our foreign policy,” and scoffed at the threat of Iranian nukes. And yet here he was in Washington, seeking out a secret meeting with some of the Ron Paul Revolutionaries’ biggest bogeymen. At a private office in Dupont Circle, he talked foreign policy with Bill Kristol, Dan Senor, and Tom Donnelly, three prominent neocons who’d been part of an effort to defeat him during the primary. “He struck me as genuinely interested in trying to understand why people like us were so apoplectic,” Senor says of their two-hour encounter. “He wanted to get educated about our problem with him. He wasn’t confrontational, and he wasn’t disagreeable. He didn’t seem cemented in his views. He was really in absorption mode.” The following month, he met with officials from the powerful lobbying group AIPAC the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which has frequently clashed with Ron Paul over what the group views as his insufficient support of Israel. Paul, according to one person familiar with the AIPAC meeting, “told them what they wanted to hear: ‘I’m more reasonable than my father on the things you care about.’ He was very solicitous.”
Marines Ready for Egypt Rescue Mission

They’re half of the Marines’ 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, a mini-armada that recently dispatched 1,400 of its 2,000 Marines into Afghanistan. But they’ve got a “fair number” of helicopters, and Marines, still aboard. “They’re not in the on-deck circle yet,” a military official says. “They’re kind of getting ready to come out of the dugout.” Meetings in Washington through Friday night and into the weekend will determine if they’re ordered to carry out a NEO — a non-combat but potentially dicey evacuation operation.Read more: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2011/01/28/marines-ready-for-egypt-rescue-mission/#ixzz1CSiBGtOWExcerpt Read more at swampland.blogs.time.com …
What do we do if OUR Government shuts down the internet?
Free RepublicBrowse · Search Pings · Mail General/ChatTopics · Post ArticleSkip to comments.What do we do if OUR Government shuts down the internet?Posted on Saturday, January 29, 2011 12:33:26 AM by jongaltsrSeeing what has happened in Egypt and their ability to quickly shut down the internet got me to thinking about the possibility that at some time in the future OUR Government may try the same with us.Therefor I thought that to prepare for such an event should be planned by us the citizens who would most likely to be effected as well as the people most likely to need alternatives to internet connections to stay in communications and keep upraised of events not being reported accurately and intentionally.We would have to depend upon our telephones but that can readily shut down by a government that is willing to cut off internet access.TV and certain radio stations would be all that we could rely upon in such an event. I would imagine that some Right Wing-other than the acceptable liberal radio stations would be shut down or can they?Can you My fellow FR conspirators think of methodologies of maintaining connections to information which can not easily be cut off by our government agencies?In some countries, people have taken over Radio and Television stations but that requires physically attacking and provoking Police & Military action at some point.Put on your thinking caps and lets see if there are any of you out there that can devise a plan of action for such an event.My one thought so far is that the government might not shut down the telephone system immediately because that would directly affect so many people that that act in itself would be more devastating to citizens than would the loss of the internet. Therefor a “Tweet” link could be our own second line of information. I’m not sure if the “Tweet” system involves the internet in any way. Is it independent of computer technology and strictly Phone System dependant?Since I don’t “tweet”, I just don’t know the answer to that question.Can you devise other ideas? and let us share your ideas “Just in Case !”
Get Internet Access When Your Government Shuts It Down

And as we’ve seen in Egypt, that means that your Internet connection can be the first to go. Whether you’re trying to check in with your family, contact your friends, or simply spread the word, here are a few ways to build some basic network connectivity when you can’t rely on your cellular or landline Internet connections.Do-It-Yourself Internet With Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi…Advanced freedom fighters can set up a portal Web page on their network..Remember when you stashed your old modems in the closet because you thought you might need them some day? In the event of a total communications blackout–as we’re seeing in Egypt–you’ll be glad you did. Older and simpler tools, like dial-up Internet or even ham radio, could still work, since these “abandoned” tech avenues aren’t being policed nearly as hard.In order to get around the total shutdown of all of the ISPs within Egypt, several international ISPs are offering dial-up access to the Internet..Unfortunately, such dial-up numbers can also be fairly easily shut down by the government, so you could also try returning to FidoNet…You could also take inspiration from groups that are working to create an ad-hoc communications…using Ham Radio, since the signals are rarely tracked and extremely hard to shut down or block. Most of these efforts are still getting off the ground, but hackers are already cobbling together ways to make it a viable form of communication into and out of the country.In the land of no Internet connection, the man with dial-up is king. Here are a few gadgets that you could use to prepare for the day they cut the lines….Excerpt Read more at pcworld.com …
While Egyptians Take To The Streets, Americans Accept Their Enslavement
ACLU Must Start Protecting “Enumerated Rights”Paul Craig RobertsPrison Planet.comSaturday, January 29, 2011While people in Tunisia and Egypt have taken to the streets in attempts to gain their liberty, Americans are losing their liberty with minimal protest.Even the American Civil Liberties Union seems unfocused. At a time when we are being surrounded by a police state and the federal judiciary is being taken over by the Federalist Society and unitary executive theory that places the president above the law, we need a heightened appreciation of civil liberty and the Constitution on the part of the American people. The American people need to come together and to take a united stand against the police state and unaccountable executive branch power.During my many years of writing in defense of law as a shield of the people instead of a weapon in the hands of the state, I have identified two important reasons that Americans are losing the protection of the legal principles that made them free.One reason is that a significant portion of the population, especially among those who think of themselves as conservative, there is indifference and even hostility to civil liberties. The other reason is that Benthamite thinking has made inroads into the Blackstonian conception of law that is the basis of the Constitution. Jeremy Bentham argued for pre-emptive arrest before a crime is committed, for torture in order to obtain confession, and for subverting the attorney-client privilege. Bentham’s views, fiercely hostile to those of our Founding Fathers, are now represented on the federal bench federal appeals court judge Jay S. Bybee, for example and in prestigious law schools John Yoo, UC Berkeley, for example.In chapter 3 of The Tyranny of Good Intentions, Larry Stratton and I contrast Bentham’s views with those of William Blackstone and our Founding Fathers. This article is about the division of the American public on the matter of civil liberty.Court decisions by “activist judges” in behalf of criminals, abortion, homosexual rights, and against school prayer, all in the name of constitutional rights and civil liberty, have resulted in many Americans identifying civil liberty with procedures that provide protections and immunities for criminals and with judicially created rights that are destroying morality. All the fights over Supreme Court appointments have to do with “social issues” such as abortion. The enumerated rights in the Constitution, such as habeas corpus, due process, free speech and association, long ago receded into the background and play scant role in Senate confirmations of Supreme Court appointees.ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
