More Government Bullets?!

by funklord

In the midst of all the anti-gun rhetoric from the administration, the Dept. of Homeland Security is at it again, poised to purchase an additional 21.6 MILLION rounds of ammunition.  The claim is the ammo will be used for training.

Alex Jones (yes THAT Alex Jones, the lunatic from the Piers Morgan interview.  When not on TV, he does some of the best non-main stream news out there) and his crew at infowars have put together some shocking, yet documented numbers.

At the height of the Iraq war, the military was using 5.5 million rounds a MONTH.  They now have an arsenal, accumulated over the last 10 months, to wage war for 30 years!  WHAT?  That’s INSANE!

Not only that, but while hey mull an assault rifle ban on civilians, they purchased 7,000 fully automatic rifles for themselves.

There is much more, so read the article.  Those of you who read this blog regularly know I have documented the government’s purchasing power over the last few months, but if you haven’t, read here.

This week in artifical currency 2/6/13

by funklord

I am positive that every eyeball reading this is attached to a brain that knows the Federal Reserve is NOT a part of the Federal Government, despite its purposefully confusing name.  It is no more Federal than Federal Express.  I am personally of the belief that this single organization, and its US monetary policy is the reason we are in the economic situation we are in.  In 2012, we will pay almost 10 cents of every tax dollar on interest generated by the national debt.  That is 220 BILLION dollars NOT spent on education, social programs, or basically anything productive.  See here is the crime:  The US is supposed to print their money (That’s what the Dept. of the Treasury is for), but they do not.  We borrow it from the Federal Reserve, AT INTEREST.  That interest has been growing for about 100 years, when the Federal reserve was first chartered to handle our nantional financial situation.  If we printed our own currency, we would get that money interest free!  That would be trillions we could spend on the United States and our citizens, and not to greedy, disgusting criminals masquerading as legitimate bankers.

Anyway, I digress.  The point of this first part is to say that while I am not a fan of the hacker group Anonymous, I am very much in favor of their hacking in to the Federal Reserve servers this past week.   The breach gave them 4000 top tier bankers private information, such as E-mails, phone numbers, addresses, etc.  The information was collected by the Fed as Emergency Contact information.  They have my support on this one.

If you don’t want to take my word for it, how about talking to the Virginia Legislature.  They are spending around 17K to research minting their own currency.  They aren’t the only state to do that either.  Utah and other states are looking into this option.  This is triggered by the Fed’s loose financial policy that is debasing the dollar, so it will be practically worthless in the coming years.  This fear has triggered these states to come up with a scenario to ensure they aren’t dragged down with the ship.  While it is technically illegal for a state to print its own money, Utah has found and may exploit a loophole that allows for precious metals to be traded with real value.

It will be an interesting year.

Typhoid Purduey (Not as catchy as Mary)

by funklord

Similar to the real life Typhoid Mary, a woman at Purdue University contracted Typhoid in a foreign country and brought it to the US.  She MAY have infected several people at Purdue University, but no numbers have been released yet. People are being quarantined.

The scariest part is that for college kids, you almost HAVE to eat in the cafeteria.  Most people expect to die because of the terrible quality of the food itself, NOT because someone tainted it with Typhoid.  That’s just science.

It looks like I have to start:

The 2013 Disease Countdown

1.  The 2013 FLU season

2.  The Norovirus (Stomach Flu)

3.  Typhoid

From babies, to boys, to men (if we are lucky)

by funklord

Russia, and I am not making this up, hired Boys II Men in a marketing campaign to increase the birth rate of the Russian people.  Let me repeat:  Putin paid a 90 R&B band to come to Russia and basically convince the people to have more sex.  This is the worst idea since the 2007 “Day of Conception” fridge giveaway.  They gave people the day off on September 12th, and any woman who gave birth 9 months later was entered into a raffle to win a fridge.   An iPod loaded with Barry White and Marvin Gay would seem more appropriate.

You would think that with Vodka as the national drink, bad sexual choices wouldn’t be a problem.

This post (and the Swine Flu Vaccine) may cause Narcolepsy

by funklord

I am well aware that my posts that center around “Anti Vaccine” rants are far and away my least popular.  This one, however, may put you out cold.  It turns out that Glaxo-Smith-Kline’s 2009 Swine Flu vaccine has been linked to HUGE spikes in the development of Narcolepsy in kids under the age of 20.  This conclusion is the results of several independent studies, about to be released in a UK peer reviewed medical journal.  This particular vaccine was the one given across Europe.  Several European nations are involved with the study and its findings.  I will let you read the article for more information.  The one thing that SHOCKED me was that the alleged cause was Pandemrix, a booster that has devastating effects on those under 20 years of age.  Apparently this additive was NOT allowed in US version of the vaccine.  I did not see that one coming.  Apparently a lobbyist took the day off when that bill was passed.

At least the vaccine stopped this historically deadly disease!  Right?  The Swine Flu wasn’t just media hype right?
