What I've Been Reading Stream

What I've Been Reading Stream

Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. (Revelation 3:17‭-‬18)

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

“Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:60)

Fractional Reserves and the Fed
[Sapphireslinger: A tough read, but if you put even three-quarters of your mind to it, awesome! So what does it have to do with my daily life? Almost every single day I think about it because I have to do the grocery shopping for my family, and every time I see something I would dearly love to eat, and notice that it is now 4x the price it used to be, in my mind I lay that squarely at the door of whoever is printing up the money supply, but whenever I sigh and say, "Inflation :P" to the clerk, I have not met one person who does anything but stare at me blankly. Anyway back to fruit, I remember when durian cost 30-something (TWD, not USD, LOL) a jin and how one year I refused to buy it when it went up to 40-something a jin, and today it is 139 a jin. Yes, the Fed is responsible for me not having durian to eat, and so am I for not finding a way to step outside that game.

So why read the article? What can I do about it? So that (1) when I hear about the State of Texas thinking about making it's own gold-backed currency, I realize what a huge deal that would be ... so that (2) I don't contribute to the morass of ignorance that might kill a deal like that ... so that (3) did I ever find a way to use an alternate form of currency in my daily life with impunity, I would do my part to step outside the game, the game beauracrats play with what I think of as my money but in reality is a pile of fiat money, paper that can lose half its power with a flip of the switch on the printing press.

But I wouldn't even be thinking those things or be ready for those things, if I didn't know what that article was talking about.

So yes, I feel a deep CONNECTION to this article, right in the area of my stomach, every time I see durian no less.]

Ocasio-Cortez’s Vision [I liked paragraphs 5-7]
The failures of America have occurred precisely when we’ve incorrectly assessed the dangers of government and when we’ve departed from that vision and failed to control or counteract the growth of government power.

If Americans have grown distrustful (cynical) about the operations of corporations, lobbyists, the deep state, the military-industrial complex, and governments, it’s not because of any “intellectually superior attitude”, something some shallow columnist might say. Distrust has real roots in real failings. We’ve failed our Constitution and our Constitution has failed us. We interpreted it loosely and its flaws allowed us to do that, both to our detriment. The Articles of Confederation would have served us well, or a Constitution that made only minor modifications to the Articles. This was not to be, and we must now deal with it as best we can.

Ocasio-Cortez has no remedy for American failures by offering us a much-enlarged government that further abandons decentralized freedom, individual property rights, civic virtue and limited government. America stands no chance of surviving its failures and no chance to regenerate its correct vision by extending marxism further into American life. The alternative is to extend the libertarian vision.

Ocasio-Cortez Is a Marxist:paragraphs 3-5...

“Democratic socialism is marxism, and as marxism it condemns private property. It condemns private ownership of capital, or the means of production, which is everything that goes into producing the goods that keep us alive, sheltered, clothed, healthy, fed, entertained, and other such values. In marxism, everyone is called upon to work to the extent they can for a common good or a common pool of goods. One doesn’t work directly for oneself. One doesn’t try to progress, because it gets you nowhere. The more you try to build up your wealth, the more that it’s taken away from you.

Marxism promotes freeloading and shirking. Everyone has an incentive to let others do the work and to draw goods from the common pool. This never works to promote the production of goods. Starvation is the result. Marxism of any type always fails because its incentives are totally perverse.

Imagine working and your pay goes all to the government or the “democracy”. The “democracy” decides what you will get. The “democracy” turns out to be an impossible way to make the countless decisions that have to be made in order to get people to work effectively and economically to produce what other people need, and then to distribute these goods when, where and how to make people happy. The attempts at democracy as a substitute for prices and markets fail. Invariably, a bureaucracy of power-seekers accumulates power and dictates. Marx conjured up such concepts as the “dictatorship of the proletariat”, a kind of democracy of the working class. Instead, every attempt at socialism either fails because it doesn’t deliver the goods, or else it’s transformed into command-and-control by bureaucrats, administrators, managers, politicians, none of whom themselves face the control by those they claim to be feeding, clothing, housing, etc. The consumer is definitely not king in any marxist system.”

Israel’s brutal repression of Palestinians has sparked bitter anti-Israel sentiments across Europe. Not so much in America, where media leans far over to Israel’s side and evangelical Christians have been bamboozled into believing that a Greater Israel is somehow necessary for the Second Coming. (Breaking Our Biggest Taboo)

[This is connected to the false doctrine of pre-mellenialism which says that Jesus got “surpisingly rejected” and failed to set up his kingdom the first time he came, but he will succeed when he returns. Problems: This theory says God is not omniscient nor omnipotent, neither all-knowing nor all-powerful. If he failed the first time, he might fail the second time too. In reality, the Bible says the cross was in the mind of God before he created the world, and the prophets prophesied that he would be rejected. ]

.... In her book, Peeke also talks about the role of epigenetics, noting there’s a “sweet spot” between the ages of 8 and 13 when your genome is particularly vulnerable to epigenetic influence....

Fortunately, there are solutions to unhealthy junk food cravings. Two of the most effective strategies I know of are intermittent fasting and a cyclical ketogenic diet focused on real, whole foods. These strategies will effectively help reset your body’s metabolism and boost your body’s production of healing ketones, and your cravings for sugar will dramatically diminish, if not vanish altogether, once your body starts burning fat instead of sugar as its primary fuel.

Ideally, for best results, you’ll want to do intermittent fasting and a cyclical ketogenic diet in combination. You can find more information about nutritional ketosis and how to implement a cyclical ketogenic diet in my previous articles “Burn Fat for Fuel,” and “A Beginner’s Guide to the Ketogenic Diet.” For more information about intermittent fasting, see “Top 22 Intermittent Fasting Benefits” ....[Read More]
Here's Another Wakefield Myth You Can Stop Repeating
How To Earn an Income? What Do You Tell Your Kids?
The federal government’s biggest trick is to tax wage earners in valuable dollars during your income earning years and give it back to you in worth-less dollars in retirement. It is the mother of all shell games. The dollar you get back in retirement via a Social Security check looks the same, but it has diminished purchasing power.

If one of your kids became a millionaire via a lottery ticket and received $1,000,000 after taxes in the year 2000 and they hid it under a rock, they would need $5,440,531 to equal the purchasing power of that money today! (2018). (Data: Inflation Calculator, ShadowStats.com). The true rate of inflation is 6-8% (source: ShadowStats.com) so a worker needs to ask their boss for a 6-8% annual pay raise just to keep up with inflation.

Medical Fascism: Mandatory Measles Vaccination Will Cause Certain Cyclical Outbreaks
Make Sure Your Kids Get Measles!
As vaccination programs ramped up, the age of onset shifted from school-age (5-19) to children under 5 years of age. The CDC report notes that susceptibility of infants younger than age 1 increased due to their mothers who developed weak antibodies from vaccination rather than from a virus encountered in circulation in the population. Mothers who had higher antibody counts from natural infection transferred immunity across the placenta to their fetus and this immunity lasted until children reached 5-9 years of age, which Dr. Tenpenny says is the desirable time for children to get the measles and develop their own enduring antibodies.

Yes, unvaccinated individuals are more likely to get measles, but they are also most likely to develop life-long immunity, something vaccination doesn’t achieve. This is why adult measles vaccination is being promoted, to the glee of vaccine makers.

When industry controls government to mandate vaccination, as is now happening, this is out of control fascism. An overly fearful public can’t see the objective is corporate profits, not health. Let’s vaccinate the whole world – 7 billion people and then add booster shots. Then make it a law that kids get vaccinated. But measles has a 2-to-3-year cycle that will cyclically erupt with measles cases regardless of vaccination. Dr. Tenpenny says the same cyclical outbreaks will occur every 2-to-5 years for whooping cough (pertussis). And the outbreaks are all inappropriately being blamed on anti-vaxxers.

Dr. Tenpenny teaches viral-induced fever is desirable. Measles can induce fevers of 103-105-degrees F. Just control fever to 102-degrees F by use of vitamins A & D says Dr. Tenpenny and make sure kids are hydrated.

Dr. Tenpenny says: Measles virus infects different organs, induces a fever and wakes up the immune system (B cells, macrophages) and disseminates immunity to all tissues with accompanying fever at the age appropriate time which is age 7 to 9 years of age. Fever locks-in membranes in gut, kidneys and the blood brain barrier and teaches the body to activate immunity against “non-self” agents. She teaches, over time more infants will be susceptible to measles infections at younger ages due to mothers being vaccinated.

Measles is important for female children to have to protect their own offspring later in life. Her 21-minute instructional videotape presentation on measles can be viewed on FACEBOOK (if they don’t censor her). Read more...

Germany: Stabbings and Other Knife Crimes
... Police and prosecutors had initially tried to conceal from the public that Madou had decapitated the baby, but a commuter — Ghanaian citizen Daniel J., a gospel singer at an evangelical church in Hamburg — who happened to arrive at the subway station moments after the attack filmed the scene on his phone. "Oh my God," Daniel J. can be heard saying in English. "It's unbelievable. Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, oh Jesus. They cut off the head of the baby. Oh my God. Oh Jesus."

Heinrich Kordewiner, a blogger from Hamburg who discovered the video on Daniel J.'s Facebook page, uploaded it to YouTube. Hamburg police subsequently arrived at Kordewiner's apartment with a search warrant, and confiscated his computer, mobile phone and other electronics, allegedly to find "evidence" of the "crime" of uploading the video.

German prosecutors also pursued Gatestone author Stefan Frank for quoting verbatim from the search warrant, which included details of the murder, including that the child was beheaded. The fact of the decapitation was not only omitted from public reports, but also denied. District Attorney Lars Mahnke claimed that "speculation" about the beheading was false. Frank, however, knew about the beheading because it was mentioned in the search warrant. His "crime" was informing the public. The case against Frank was dropped in January 2019 after he agreed to pay a fine of 300 euros ($340).

Police and prosecutors have insisted that their silence about the child's decapitation has been out of respect for the dignity of the dead. Others, however, have accused German authorities of censoring information about growing lawlessness — including spiraling knife violence — to "preserve civil peace." Read More

10 Health Boosting Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Tonics
Wake Up, America!
.... Since artificially created rights are just that — artificial — the only way to implement them is through government’s never-fail trump card: force. Delusions aside, government is nothing more than a criminal organization held together by the threat of brute force — and actual force, if that becomes necessary.

Political power does, indeed, grow from the barrel of a gun. Millions of Americans delude themselves about this reality, but the cold, hard fact is that government can do anything it damn well pleases to you, your family, and your property through the threat of force — and, when necessary, the actual use of force. If you doubt it, I would suggest you check with Roger Stone or Paul Manafort.

Sadly, most people tend to ignore what government’s essentially unrestricted use of force means in real terms. Their normalcy bias tells them that we have checks and balances in place via our three branches of government, thus a Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Castro, or Maduro could never happen in today’s America.

Alas, they are hopelessly naïve. Whether it’s Waco, Ruby Ridge, taxation, the silencing of free speech, or the regulation of consenting-adult activities, government force is always the trump card. Government doesn’t need to be morally, or even legally, correct. All it needs to be is ruthless, and it has never shied away from meeting that challenge.... Read More

Work and Libertarianism
A Response to Daniel McCarthy's "Why Libertarians are Wrong"
China and the (supposed) loss of manufacturing jobs? Even a slightly more libertarian US economy, with a somewhat lighter regulatory, tax, and tariff monkey on its back, would walk away not only from China but the rest of the world too. Foreign policy and defense spending? Immediate troop withdrawals and radical reductions in military projection, along with real cuts to the military state. Immigration? Private sponsorship and vetting of immigrants, with legal and financial liability residing with sponsors for a term. Rent seeking and cronyism in industries like Big Pharma? Radically slash regulatory and approval processes, eliminate patents, and let generics flourish. Entitlements? Immediate means testing, coupled with a thirty-year phaseout of benefits and immunity from federal payroll taxes for younger workers. As for Islam, why not worry about what’s killing Christianity instead? Is the rise of modern western welfare states and the abject decline of Christianity just a strange coincidence to McCarthy, or does he understand progressive state religion? A robust Christianity, one that serves as a counterbalance to Islam, can’t exist when it’s in direct competition with the state that has far greater control over education, culture, and resources than any Christian group could ever dream of attaining.
