The Religious Right Is a Fraud

There s Nothing Christian About Michele Bachmann s Values

By Elizabeth Stoker, Matt Bruenig

Have Churches Become Agents Of The State?

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

Most readers are familiar with how FEMA created a program called "Clergy Response Teams" several years ago. Under this program, tens of thousands of pastors were instructed on how to assist the federal government in the event of a "national emergency." Pastors were encouraged to teach Bible lessons from Romans 13 in which church members were told that God instructs them to always submit to civil authority unconditionally.......

China to push for "YUAN" to be alternative to "Dollar" in fear of next Washington Drama

Analysts predict investors faced with a U.S. default would try to sell dollars for yuan, forcing China s central bank to either buy up dollars at a time when the government issuing them isn t honoring its obligations or allow a rapid increase in the yuan s value that would hurt exports and worsen the country s credit bubble.

The U.S. debt spiral cannot go on indefinitely. Our debt is growing far, far more rapidly than our GDP is, and therefore our debt is completely and totally unsustainable. The Chinese understand what is going on, and when the dust settles they plan to be the last ones standing.

The Fed turns 100: A survey of the critics

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Gregory Bresiger

12/05/13

End America s central bank because it caused the crashes of 2008, 1987, and 1929 and will blunder again. That s what many critics are saying about the Federal Reserve System (the Fed), which turns 100 on December 23. They note that on the Fed s watch America has endured numerous bubbles, crashes, and inflationary cycles that have greatly devalued the dollar. The Fed, they say, has caused or aggravated several crashes.
