  1. I remember watching a video that explained quantitative easing. It was narrated by a computer voice and they called The fed chair “ The Ben Bernank.” I cannot listen to his name without hearing it in that voice.

    Here’s the link. Jump to 2:20 to hear the above.

  3. 1969 Nixon’s Executive Order 11490 “Assigning Emergency Preparedness Functions to Federal Departments and Agencies”
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_11490

    Economist Howard Ruff said of the order that it gave the president sweeping authority, unbalancing the separation of powers in government, set in motion merely by the president claiming a national emergency. He said, “The only thing standing between us and a dictatorship is the good character of the president and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the public would stand still for it.”

  4. Suggestion for Book Review: “The Dancer and the Devil” by John O’Neill recently out about the poisoning by Stalin of Anna Pavlova the greatest ballet dancer of her time. It goes on to say oh, so much more. Here’s a talk with John and his co-author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tkb-KE3pn8

    2. Thanks for the link, Caroline. I must follow up on the Pavlova story.

      Here is another example of Dr Farrell who talks about how important culture is.

      I had never heard of the poisoning unit in Russia/USSR before.

  5. Catherine, not that you need this, but perhaps my experience as a nobody might count. You are 100% correct in saying that the benefits of having an LTC outweighs the small task of getting fingerprinted.

    All carry licenses require fingerprints, otherwise, what about that process would make you vetted as a law-abiding citizen to carry as opposed to someone who just wants to randomly carry a gun around?

    In order for law enforcement to see if you are a criminal or not, they need to try to match your fingerprints to some crime, otherwise you are good.

    But it goes further than that, while you can constitutionally carry in Texas and if fingerprints bothers you can certainly constitutionally carry, but be aware that constitutional carry in Texas comes with limitations that having an LTC does not come with. Also, if you don’t want to be subjected to the FBIs shenanigans regarding getting approved for the purchase of a new firearm, then you definitely want to have your Texas LTC.

    I am with you Catherine in the sense that a lot of jobs in my life required that I get fingerprinted as those jobs involved writing software for certain agencies in Northern Virginia, so I am actually quite surprised that there are Americans out there who have never had to get a fingerprint for anything. Pilots get fingerprinted, airport employees get fingerprinted, working with children gets you fingerprinted, working with the public in a lot of different capacities get you fingerprinted, honestly, not sure how its possible to work in America without getting fingerprinted at some point unless you just ran a bakery or owned your own construction company or something like that.

  6. When John Titus says he did not take the bailout well, that’s exactly how I felt. I am shocked there were not more of us. I was pissed about the bailouts and people continue talking about Obama like he was the great black hope and it was like, did you not just see this fool give away the store to the bankers?

    I always feel like John and I have things in common.

    1. More than 80% of Americans were against the bailouts. So you and John are in a big group!

    2. I was in a white hot livid state. lol!

      I also make a point of making it known to all I can what O gave away. Every time I see a homeless person I think of what O gave away.

      Reality… makes me a not so popular person.

  7. Catherine, your chuckle is the best!
    “build your own hierarchy- this one’s toast-bye” 🙂

    I would like to recommend your deep state tactics series to any subscriber who has not listened to it yet- the personal stories add so much to my deeper comprehension of these topics.
