Spy on Americans

Now It’s the Democrats’ Turn to Spy on Americans! If you think the election of Barack Obama will end illegal government surveillance of its citizens, you haven’t been paying attention. One of Obama’s first acts as president was to file a brief in federal court siding with the former Bush Administration and insisting that the government should be allowed to eavesdrop on Americans without warrants. Privacy advocates insist Americans will have just as much to fear from Democrat spies as they had from the Bush Administration—perhaps more. That’s because, while George W. Bush and the Republicans trounced on civil liberties and used warrant-less wiretaps in the pursuit of global terrorists, Barack Obama and his Democrat allies are going to use the same spying technologies… on U.S. taxpayers! “Hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes are owed to the government each year but are not being collected,” warned Rep. Charles B. Rangel, a Democrat from New York and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, himself investigated for criminal tax evasion. According to the New York Times, the kinds of “tax cheats” Obama and the Democrat-congress plan on targeting include “…self-employed painters and plumbers, small family businesses (from local florists and dry-cleaners to restaurants) and the growing legions who sell things over eBay and other Internet auction sites.” “Tax cheats come in all shapes and sizes,” explained Democratic Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Levin is pushing through a bill in Congress that would make offshore bank accounts virtually illegal. “This bill contains innovative and powerful measures that could strike an immediate and strong blow against these tax dodges,” he said in 2008. “These provisions would recover billions that could help pay for health care, education, manufacturing support, aid for wounded warriors and more.”

WARNING: Collapse of U.S. Dollar

WARNING: Collapse of U.S. Dollar Could Wipe Out Half of Your Wealth! Hyperinflation is not as rare as governments would like you to believe. Whenever a government spends far more than it takes in, the risk of Hyperinflation is there. It wipes out the value of accumulated savings, leaving even affluent people penniless. 2008, Zimbabwe: The socialist dictatorship of Robert Mugabe has created an annual inflation rate of 11,250,000%, resulting in currency that is basically worthless. At independence in 1980, 1 Zimbabwean dollar was worth approximately $1.25 in U.S. dollars. By mid-2008, one U.S. dollar was worth 688 trillion pre-August 2006 Zimbabwean dollars. 2007, Turkey: Turkey has suffered from chronic inflation for decades. In 1980, one U.S. dollar was worth 90 Turkish lira. By 2004, a U.S. dollar was worth 1.3 million Turkish lira. As a result, in 2007 the government simply declared a revaluation of the Turkish lira. One million Turkish lira would henceforth be worth only 1 lira. 2005, Romania: In 1998, the highest denomination in Romania was 100,000 lei. By 2005, it was 1 million lei. The Romanian government then devalued its currency, declaring that 1 new leu would be worth 10,000 old lei. 2001, Argentina: Overspending by the Argentine government resulted in massive inflation in the 1980s and 90s. By 1992, one new peso was worth 100 billion pre-1983 pesos. (Had you stuffed cash in your mattress during one of Argentina’s many recessions, not trusting their shaky banks, you would have ended up with nothing.) 1994, Russia: Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the new Russia saw annual inflation of between 2,500% and 8,500% a year. The value of the ruble declined from 40 rubles to the dollar in 1991 to 30,000 rubles to the dollar by 1999.

Bank Safety Deposit Box

Never, Ever Keep Gold or Cash in a Bank Safety Deposit Box! Bank officials have been informed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that all safety deposit boxes will be seized in the event of a national disaster. As occurred sporadically during the Great Depression, Federal agents will examine all safety deposit boxes and determine which items may be returned to bank customers. No weapons, cash, gold or silver will be allowed to leave the bank—only paperwork will be given to its owners. Bank officials have been instructed not to reveal this policy to bank customers, even if asked. Bottom line: Only use safety deposit boxes for family documents you don’t mind being inspected by Federal agents. Never use them to store valuables.
