Iran strike = $150 Oil = $1500 Gold = ...

Contrary to some claims that the Bush administration will allow diplomacy to handle Iran’s nuclear weapons program, a leading member of America’s Jewish community tells Newsmax that a military strike is not only on the table – but likely. [...] “Look at Dick Cheney’s recent trip through the Middle East as preparation for the U.S. attack,” the source said. Cheney’s hastily arranged 9-day visit to the region, which began on March 16, included stops in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Turkey, and the Palestinian territories. [...] A number of signs indicate that, contrary to the belief President Bush is a lame duck who will not act before he leaves office, the U.S. is poised to strike before Iran can acquire nuclear weapons and carry out the threat of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to “wipe Israel off the map”:

Dollar Doomsayers

"It's hard to stimulate an economy when the currency is going down the tubes,'' said David Malpass, the chief economist at Bear Stearns & Co. The New York-based firm expects the dollar will fall to $1.60 per euro in 12 months.

The U.S. economy may expand 1.4 percent this year, according to the median estimate of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News this month. The median in March was for growth of 1.7 percent. As recently as September the Fed's target rate was 5.25 percent.

[... Yeah, right]

Relief may be in sight. The International Monetary Fund in Washington said last month that oil prices may be peaking as growth slows. The median forecast of 34 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg is for the dollar to gain about 11 percent against the euro this year and 4 percent versus the yen as the Fed's rate cuts spark the economy in the second half of 2008.

"If the U.S. dollar turns higher or if the crude oil market reverses then we have a spiral working the other way,'' said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citigroup Global Markets Inc. in New York. The price of crude oil will [be] at $70 by September, Evans said.

How low?

We’ve long assumed that a collapsing dollar would take the global economy with it, but perhaps we were being too pessimistic? After all, the Dollar Index has fallen by 45 percent since 2002, but life goes on. Moreover, when the greenback slipped to historical new lows on Friday, hardly anyone seems to have noticed.



And where does the White House stand? In an interview last week, veep Cheney hinted that the government would take a hands-off attitude toward the US currency. "We do believe in a strong dollar,” he said, “but we think that the key is that it be allowed to adjust based on market forces out there, and that's exactly what's happening." To speak of the dollar’s wholesale collapse as an “adjustment” is like saying that the fiery collapse of the Trade Towers was an adjustment to airborne traffic. Not only has the Dollar Index slipped to historical lows in recent days, it has entered an airless void on the charts (see above) without so much as a token word of support from anyone high up in the U.S. Government.

The supreme currency

History repeats itself. Hitler invaded Poland and all of Europe. Hispanic & Muslim nations now invade the U.S.; world conquest is the Objective.

Hitler convinced the German People their neighbors were the cause of their economic problems. He convinced them the only way to recover was to recognize their inherent right to invade and take back land they had stolen from them. Germans were declared the supreme race and all others were inferiors who did not deserve to live. It was their heritage as proud Aryan people, it was their duty to take over the world and repopulate it with the master race.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox, and current President Calderón both insist where a Mexican stands, is also Mexico. They insist they have a right to cross international borders to resolve economic crises they blame on their neighbor. They demand a union between all nations in the America’s for Mutual Prosperity and Security to honor the racial heritage of the latinos. [...] How much more documentation does it take to define intent of the invaders who have come into the United States illegally?

Fox admits, the amero is coming, he admits the invasion is by design to help the sagging Mexican economy and promote open borders, he admits he is backing invasion because his people need jobs and jobs are in the United States, he admits he wants to destroy American Sovereignty and replace it with a new Union of states including all of north and south America, he admits he is stealing American jobs and wealth, and some United States citizens think unbridled illegal alien invasion is purely an economic driven invasion.

Fox is similar to Hitler who told his citizens it was their national right to invade other nations and then promoted that invasion with all of the government support he could give them.

Capsize the buck!

The Financial Times has reported that "the Qatari and Vietnamese governments ... are rapidly divesting in dollar denominated securities [and that this] will not come as good news to the US government. Overseas investors hold half of America’s $4,400bn of marketable government debt, up from a third in 2001 according to the US Treasury department." For at least some financial observers, the idea that Qatar is dumping the dollar without the implicit, if not explicit, approval of American political powers-that-be is hard to fathom.

In fact, as has been pointed out by FMNN commentators in the past, Qatar is a staunch ally of the United States and the jumping off point for its invasion into Iraq. Not only that, but the ruling family owes its position to U.S. military invations [...]

The relationship between Qatar and the US is so close that even the Qatar creation of the Al Jazeera news network seems suspect. An outgrowth of the BBC, elaborately funded by the Qatar ruling family, could Al Jazeera be a "controlled opposition" news network rather than an actual homegrown information initiative, as has been portrayed?

In any event Qatar's announced dollar dump comes at a critical time, as the Financial Times points out. And as mentioned above, FMNN has heard that suspicious-minded financial critics of the US administration are asking if it could have anything to do with the North American Union that the American power structure seems to favor - one which would see a "super state" created from Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The lead currency of such a super state would be the so-called "Amero." Of course, the dollar itself will have to capsize in a big way before Americans will be persuaded to give up their precious currency.

Amero: "thoroughly debunked rumor"!

As a Republican with some libertarian leanings and with a tutelage in foreign policy realism, I was intrigued by Dr. Paul’s campaign. But the deeper I dug, the more I realized that Dr. Paul is not just a libertarian-leaning Republican. His online activism brings back bad memories of what the internet was like in the 1990s, when it was the home to conspiracy theories that wouldn’t get even a first look in the political realm. In short, he’s a modern remnant of the John Birch Society, complete with ongoing conspiracy theories about the imminent demise of American sovereignty at the hands of shadowy international organizations.

Witness Paul’s obsession with the “North American Union.” The idea behind this theory is that the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP),” a dialogue between the United States, Mexico and Canada to address trade concerns, lays the foundation for the unification of the three countries. Why Canadians would want to join up with an America that they are none too fond of, and why either country would want to carry the deadweight that is modern Mexico are questions left unanswered.

Paul asks: “What is a ‘dialogue’? We don’t know. What we do know, however, is that Congressional oversight of what might be one of the most significant developments in recent history is non-existent.” [...] Other aspects of the supposed SPP are more outlandish. There are the persistent rumors that the United States is preparing to launch the “amero,” America’s answer to the Euro. This rumor is pretty thoroughly debunked here, and again, it is unclear what America and Canada really have to gain from tying their currencies to each other, much less to Mexico’s.

Almighty Chaos

Something has snapped in the spirit of the time; events have gone beyond human capacity to control, predict or even conceptualize. Those who insist they know what is happening are merely pretending, or dissembling. When novelty arises, when old structures disintegrate before new patterns reveal themselves, there are no experts.

Perhaps the best oracles we can consult are systems analysts like Erwin Laszlo. Laszlo studies chaos theory and believes global civilization is a few years away from what he calls “the chaos point.” According to Laszlo, we are at a “crucial decision-window” of instability. “When we reach the point of chaos,” Laszlo tells us, “the stable ‘point’ and ‘periodic’ attractors of our systems will be joined by ‘chaotic’ or ‘strange’ attractors.” These “strange attractors” will propel us, like booster rockets, to evolutionary development or entropic debauch. In other words, we should prepare ourselves for the unknown and inexplicable.

The current economic crisis provides an intriguing case in point. [...] It seems inconceivable that the financial institutions and speculators didn’t anticipate large-scale defaults. Perhaps they were counting on the Federal Reserve to bail them out. During the last months, in fact, the Fed, along with its European counterpart, has poured hundreds of billions of newly invented dollars into the financial markets, temporarily stabilizing the system and rewarding the speculators while doing nothing for the masses of people facing eviction from their homes and creating the prospect of hyperinflation.

The Fed, a private institution, “injects liquidity,” quips the New York Times, without needle or syringe. As a Lehman Brothers economist notes, “All they do is write down a number and credit that amount of cash to the bank. It’s a bookkeeping entry.” The Fed’s miraculous capacity to create instant cash brings up deeper questions about the nature of money today — what is it? De-linked from the gold standard, money is based on little more than our collective belief in it.

In Third World countries, currency crises — often brought about by predatory speculation — frequently lead to frozen bank accounts and long breadlines, followed by a change of currency that creates immense profit for the banks and the government. Of course, many believe that such a thing could never happen here. Recently, there have been rumors of a plan to form an American version of the European Federation, uniting Mexico, the U.S. and Canada under a new currency, the “Amero,” and a new constitution, devised by the bankers.

GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

GLENN: All right, Dr. Lynch, thank you very much. We will talk to you again. We're going to look -- we're going to look up some of the things that you said. I will tell you that there is something on the whole Mex-Ameri-Canada thing and there is something also on the dollar. It is -- I mean, it is almost like we just talked about it a minute -- it's almost like it has been designed to --

DR. LYNCH: Yeah, this is the design. Let me just say something, Glenn.

GLENN: Real quick, real quick.

DR. LYNCH: This year this time we will really need another currency.

GLENN: Next year at this -- Stu, write this down. Next year.

DR. LYNCH: About this time, at the end of October we will be dealing -- the greenback will be gone. I'll just say that.

GLENN: Next year at this time. Dr. Lynch, you just made quite a claim.

DR. LYNCH: I did.

GLENN: You said a year from today.

DR. LYNCH: Well, I wouldn't say today. I might say by November 1st of next year, before Thanksgiving of next year, I would say by today -- if I were to make a prediction, this is what I would make.

GLENN: Okay, you make it because I've got consequences on this prediction.

DR. LYNCH: Now, if I lose, if I lose, I owe you one case of good champagne.

GLENN: No, you don't. I don't drink. I'm an alcoholic.

DR. LYNCH: If I win, you owe me champagne --

GLENN: No, sir. Excuse me, I set the currency is I on the program.

DR. LYNCH: Okay.

GLENN: So here is -- no, I've got it. You make your prediction and I'll tell you.

DR. LYNCH: Within a year from today more or less, Mexico will change their currency from the peso to the Amero which will reestablish a new Mexican currency. By October --

GLENN: Let's make it by January 1st of 2009. Is that right? --

DR. LYNCH: It will be 2008, yeah, 2008.

GLENN: By January 1st -- no, no, January 1st, 2009, if they haven't changed their currency, if we haven't changed our currency and we are on the new Amero, here's what you have to do.

STU: Is it the peso or the dollar?

DR. LYNCH: Wait a minute. The peso will go to the dollar. They will then follow suit because of the change of currency, America will change to the Amero, losing its beloved greenbacks.

STU: America will do that by when?

DR. LYNCH: By November 1st of next year.

STU: November 1st, 2008.

GLENN: Got it. So here it is. On November 1st if I still have a greenback that is the government-issued tender, you come on this program and you must deny the existence of the Bohemian Grove.

WHOLE TRANSCRIPT

Going protectionist over the constitution

The U.S. is known for its "paranoid style" of politics, so brace yourself for the next Big Scare coming down the pike (literally) -- the Trans-Texas Corridor. Isolationist conservatives, emboldened by their jihad last year against the Dubai Ports World deal, have identified this road project as the spearhead of a conspiracy to dissolve the United States of America. [...] Even Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican candidate for president, has fallen for the paranoia. You'd think that Paul would be chanting hosannas to anything that facilitates free trade, but he too fears that the "superhighway" is part of a scheme by foreign companies to erode U.S. borders and create a North American Union combining the United States, Mexico and Canada -- complete with a single government and a common currency called the "amero."

Superhighway opponents regard even routine dialogue between the three neighbors as a treasonous assault on U.S. sovereignty. They are apoplectic about the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), a forum created in 2005 for bureaucrats to discuss such radical topics as how to snag terrorists before they enter the continent and how to speed up cross-border traffic for just-in-time deliveries.

All of this could be dismissed as the paranoid rantings of a protectionist fringe -- except that it is beginning to have a tangible negative effect on public policy. [...] But the impact of today's isolationists threatens to affect the entire economy. If unchallenged, these ideologues of fear will kill the United States' prosperity in the name of protecting its sovereignty.

The strong Euro/Amero zone

The dollar's slide seems irreversible, and beyond a not-too-far point, numerous other currencies emerge as better-yielding zones to park oil and other global revenues. While this is not the place to debunk the already weak myth of a global clash of civilizations, the long term emergence of alternative economic zones is likely. One could be the Euro/Amero area, initially separated, but merging into a larger Western macro-economic zone. Another might evolve out of the Shanghai Cooperative Organization, with the rouble and yuan embracing each other, after a similar phase of antagonism. A third, as-yet unknown currency bloc could emerge out of the Islamic oil crescent, with the facade of religion and blending with the SCO to be at least as strong as the Euro/Amero zone.

Fed Rate Cut = US Currency Cancer

The USD hit a new all time low against the euro but has not breached the $1.40 yet. High yielding currencies, such as the AUD and NZD, were again in favour.

The dollar has fallen to a new all time low mark on the U.S. Dollar Index at 79.091. The notion that the U.S. dollar or U.S. treasuries or bonds are safe haven currencies or assets is likely to be seen as very erroneous in the coming months. Lowering interest rates will make the United States less attractive for overseas capital.

George Soros's investment partner, investment guru Jim Rogers told Bloomberg News that under Chairman Ben Bernanke, the Fed is helping Wall Street at the expense of everybody else. "If Bernanke starts running those printing presses even faster than he's doing already, yes we are going to have a serious recession," Rogers said. "The dollar's going to collapse. The bond market's going to collapse. There's going to be a lot of problems in the U.S."

The Amero: "A fantasy" of "con men, nuts, and ignoramuses"

"There's a phony story going around about a mythical currency that's supposed to replace the dollar called the "amero." [...] New Jersey blogger Hal Turner says a friend in the U.S. Treasury smuggled him a 20-amero coin made at the U.S. Mint in Denver – evidence, he writes, of a conspiracy to unite the United States, Canada and Mexico in a North American Union. [...] Mr. Turner stands by his story and says he has now heard from an anonymous ATM maker that the government is starting to provide specifications for amero paper bills. What will this guy sell next? Mexican shares in the Brooklyn Bridge? [... The] Amero's nothing but a gag coin." ~Jim Landers, DallasNews.com

John Hawkins at Town Hall and Right Wing News offers convincing reasons for not believing that President Bush and other members of the United States Government are conspiring to merge this country with Canada and Mexico in a North American Union (NAU) and replace the dollar with the amero, beginning with a lack of evidence and culminating in a lot of implausibility. He laments: "It's almost an every day thing...even though the odds of the NAU coming to pass are slightly less likely than a Dennis Kucinich/Rosie O'Donnell ticket winning every state in 2008."

"I love (the North American Union theory) because if you ever doubt your own sanity, all you have to do is read this stuff and realize that you're okay." ~Charles Krauthammer

"You lay out a conspiracy and then force some people to try to prove it doesn't exist. That's just the way some people operate." ~George Bush on the North American Union

"But aside from the chilling prospect of a ‘Monster Highway’ (Why is a new road in Texas supposed to be so scary?) there’s no reason at all to believe in the ludicrous, childish, ill-informed, manipulative, brain dead fantasies about a North American Union." ~Michael Medved

"Unfortunately, it's difficult to logically prove to people who buy into the NAU (Try to stifle a giggle here) that George Bush isn't going to merge the United States, Canada, and Mexico together to form one giant nation -- because there's no logic, consistency, or reasoning behind the theory. It's nothing more than the worst sort of black helicopter paranoia combined with naked ignorance about how our government works -- promoted by con men, nuts, and ignoramuses who think they'll increase traffic to their websites, raise money, or sell more books by convincing people that the North American Union is actually going to happen. [...] At a time when illegal immigration, carbon offset trading schemes, the international criminal court, the Law of the Sea treaty, and so many other real issues that may affect our sovereignty are being debated, it's a shame to see so many conservatives marginalizing themselves by tilting at an imaginary NAU windmill. With that in mind, once all you conspiracy theorists are done fretting about the Canucks and Mexicans teaming up to take over the world's only super power with George Bush's help, those of us back in the real world could use your help fighting the good fight for this country's future." ~John Hawkins, Townhall.com

US Dollar - the worst of major fiat currencies

"Kept economists throughout our once great land are singing the praises of an interest rate cut. They all have demanded a cut, now it’s a question of how much ¼% or ¾%? Perhaps even 2%. The noise is deafening or should we say disinformation. Now the question is will Mr. Bernanke’s elitist handlers allow him to stand pat on rates and buy the dollar more time?

If rates are lowered we can expect hyperinflation. A falling dollar and eventually the Japanese disease, which has been 16 years of deflation and depression. Were it not for virtually no interest rate, a rigged currency and a supplicant export market in America, Japan would have collapsed economically years ago. Japan tried every Keynesian nostrum. Everything failed and all they have left to show for it is unbelievable piles of debt. [...] Our dollar teeters on the edge of the abyss. Not only is it again challenging 80 on the dollar index, but also to add insult to injury, our manufacturers of breakfast foods rather than raise prices have reduced content and the size of the box to offset higher costs and inflation. If the fed lowers interest rates the manufactures may have to cut the size of the box in half. The dollar is the worst of major fiat currencies. Unfortunately the rest are little better. We begin our 4th week into the destruction of the debt bubble as credit continues to contract in spite of a $700 billion worldwide infusion of credit. [...] The second wave of the gold and silver bull market is about to unfold, as $850 is broken to the upside. Phase two will be achieved much more quickly to $2,300 to $2,500. For the next few years’ inflation will run rampant not only against the dollar but every other currency that inflates, which is most of them. This breakout in gold and silver will prove fortuitous at the best possible time due to climbing costs of production at gold and silver mines. The producers are telling us that and they will soon break out to new highs and the juniors and exploration companies will follow. The greed of the elitists, the Fed and Wall Street will show that the Fed has no mastery over the monetary system. Do not be left behind, buy gold and silver now." ~Bob Chapman, The International Forecaster

Whose borders!??

The next steps to their agenda will include, one national ID card system and one nation currency (the Amero). Mexican immigrants will be able to cross the borders freely without being stopped.

All of the talk on television you already hear from George W. Bush, about securing our borders, refers to securing Mexico’s southern border and opening ours. You’ll hear him say “secure our borders” over and over but he’s speaking of our new borders.

The scary thing about this is that the agreement was made without us knowing and is designed to keep out of the hands of American Voters and stay in the hands of foreign relations and partnerships. We will no longer have any say in the decisions made in this country and the Constitution will no longer apply.

Articulating the Popular Rage

The North American Union [is] not a myth, it's not the confused predictions of conspiracy nut-jobs. It's a fact. It is being put into place, under the radar of American oversight, through public-private partnerships (PPP's), trade agreements with the countries to the north and south of the US. In order to lay the financial and physical superstructures (the massive highways and ports projects) the plan includes insidiously dangling before state governments large amounts of cash from foreign investors. Dance to the music, pay the fiddler is all I can say.

One of the projects is to widen highway 287 here in Colorado, and indeed, driving in from Kansas, I turned south on 287, and hit many delays due to the widening of highway 287. It will become part of a Superhighway network, connecting Mexico, the United States And Canada. Many have shrugged off concerns, but the under-lying (double entendre) framework has already been worked out. The federal government disavows any NAU plan, with President Bush deriding any notion of such as recently as the summit held in Canada a few days ago. All public officials who have anything to do with the NAU are lying their asses off. They figure if they can stall long enough, America will go bankrupt, and the globalists can roll out the Amero to "save us". There's gonna be hell to pay, never mind the fiddler.

Tumbling Taco-flavored Currency

As an important US holiday approaches (Labor Day), a reflection is in order of the extremely dangerous footing we find our nation in, and the predicament that a nation of laborers finds itself in. Workers find their situation extremely tenuous, especially in light of the corporate sell-out of the American worker in favor of Asians, aided by USGovt incentives and Wall Street cheers. Our workers became accustomed to the betrayal during the 1980 decade with the Pacific Rim powered by the Asian Tigers. Why cannot economists see that a decade of Vietnam War inflation, a Johnson-Kennedy Guns & Butter agenda, and USDollar benefit from high Volcker interest rates (leading to Plaza Accord to bring down the US$), resulted in a colossal cost to the US Middle Class and workers??? They took more blows with the 1990 NAFTA betrayal, as Mexican assembly plants cropped up across the border. The current Chinese and Indian outsource movement is yet another betrayal to the American worker. Outsource the job, enjoy the lower cost to the corporate profit margin, and send the US employees into the street, especially if they are near retirement with pensions.

Let us all celebrate Labor Day, marred by a skein of betrayals. What is needed is a national program to put Americans to work. Instead, we fight an endless winless war abroad, in support of private syndicates who profit heavily. How about a national mandate and high priority initiative to rebuild the US bridges, access roads to major cities, tunnels, railroads, sewer pipes, water pipes, natural gas pipes, crude oil pipes, airports, and port facilities? And yes, forbid Halliburton and other connected crooks to participate in any and all bidding? FDRoosevelt initiated numerous plans. Why not now? High speed trains are common in France, Germany, and Japan, soon to China. The US lags badly.

In fact, one can conclude that the US is morphing into a bizarre Third World nation with a powerful military and a banking system well equipped to abuse the power extended from printing unbacked money marked as the world reserve currency.

[...] The Mexican Peso tumbled in July, and has continued lower in August. The financial conditions behind their FOREX revenues from their energy account are being revealed. The MexPeso has fallen from 9.25 to the 9.0 level, well below its 50-day moving average, without recovery. As the USDollar falters against the euro currency, the MexPeso does also. So the MexPeso has faltered even worse relative to world currencies. European exports rise in price to Mexicans. Currency markets sense trouble. The Mexican economy suffers from a significant decline in cash transfers (remittances) from workers in the US sending money home to families. This was addressed in my work as evidence of lost home construction jobs. The volume of money involved in remittances exceeds the total foreign direct investment in Mexico, an alarming data point, so not a small sum. This cramps consumer spending and small business investment, and leads to wider poverty. Count that as another contagion from the US housing crisis, of course denied.

The situation in Mexico continues to deteriorate. As their nation falls further into outright chaos, three key questions arise: 1) What happens to the reliable supply of crude oil to the United States, even as Cantarell sees further decline? 2) What happens to the plans for implementation of the North American Alliance, the economic merger of the US, Canada, and Mexico? 3) What happens to foreign mining rights to Mexican properties, under possible threat of confiscation or hiked royalty demands? These are central questions addressed in the August Hat Trick Letter report.

The Dangers of the "North American Union"



This Conservative Roundtable interview of Jerome Corsi by Howard Phillips reveals how behind closed doors, the Bush administration has ... all » collaborated with the governments of Mexico and Canada to merge the three nations into one Socialist mega-state: the "North American Union", also known as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). Freedom and our Constitution will have no place in this grim Orwellian future. The Dollar will be scrapped for the "Amero". There will be no First Amendment and no limit on the power of government. One of the prime architects of the NAU, Robert Pastor, has discussed the use of another 9/11 crisis to force through the merger--in other words, you and even Congress won't even have a voice in the Bush-led surrender of our country--unless we all act NOW to have Congress outlaw any Presidential actions which would lead to such a merger of our nations in any way. Canadian citizens would lose their independence to their southern neighbors under the NAU. America's former borders would be wide open to drug smuggling and terrorists. Mexico would become empty as all citizens by right could move to the U.S. or Canada. Leaders in both major U.S. parties are determined to wipe out your freedom, unless you act now. Howard Phillips is the Chairman of The Conservative Caucus, America's Constitutional Government action organization. Your assistance is invited.

...to be eliminated

"The only real reason for gold to go higher is if investors feel that it will hold its value better than other forms of money. For instance, if you lived in Zimbabwe today and were offered an ounce of gold or a brown paper bag of rapidly depreciating Zimbabwean dollars, what would you take? (Hint: take the gold; inflation in Zimbabwe is so bad that a roll of toilet paper now costs over $200,000.)
But the world doesn’t trade off the back of the Zimbabwean currency unit. That honor belongs to the U.S. dollar which, as you are no doubt aware, has evolved into the de facto reserve asset of virtually every central bank in the world today.
That the unbacked currency of one country is now the core holding of all the countries in the world is unprecedented in the history of the world.



[...] Monster chickens, the product of decades of proliferate spending, will eventually come home to roost on a shaky house of cards. The monetary crisis that will follow will eliminate the U.S. dollar as a serious competitor to gold… the only asset that has withstood the test of time as money. And we are not talking decades, but millennia." ~David Galland

"It shames the stench of rancid meat"

At this point in time, one has to consider the efforts of good, decent Americans over the past 90 some years regarding the income tax and where we are today with the inescapable fact that (1) the dollar may not survive; (2) foreign countries own our debt and don't want any more; (3) Congress and Bush are not going to stop what's coming when that first wave of baby boomers begin retiring next year; (4) Congress will do nothing about the IRS because they need it or an alternative scheme; (5) the courts are so rotten and corrupt, only a miracle will save you anymore on an IRS case and the big one (6) the North American Union/SPP and a push for something called the Amero. Let me add the ten ton elephant which is going to break the back of this government and economy: the incalculable price tag of our aging population and medical care. I've written about these issues before while Congress simply continues ignores this ten ton elephant standing in the middle of the room. At some point, the IRS becomes useless because there isn't enough money in the universe to pay these debts. At some point printing up even more worthless Federal Reserve "Notes" will also run its course to stave off the inevitable.
