Let us take a closer look at the Federal Reserve’s balance sheets, at least to the extent that they are available to us. One year before reaching their record-high profits, the Fed’s assets consisted of nearly $500 billion in government assets. These consisted of Treasury bonds and assets issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two giants of the real-estate market whose solvency is guaranteed by the federal government. Since Fannie and Freddy are currently owned by the state, their assets should be treated as state securities.

During 2009, the Fed was engaged in aggressive interventions in the financial markets; through various operations, it increased the amount of state assets in its possession to $1.8 trillion. The amount of government assets on the Fed’s balance sheet more than tripled. With this huge increase in assets held, $46 billion is merely a 2.5 percent return, which was provided directly by the government.

Therefore, the Fed’s so-called “profits” are not a sign of the coming of a great revival for economy. They rather mean that a “Keynesian trick” has hid the decline in economic welfare. This trick is often referred to as a “policy mix” — a mixture of fiscal and monetary policies.

“Garet Garrett, the Old Right author and skeptical chronicler of the rise of empire, once remarked that the American Imperium is unlike any other in history in that “everything goes out and nothing comes in.” While it’s true that a certain class of “entrepreneurs,” i.e. the arms industry, profit from war, the country and the economy suffer a net loss. The American system of empire cannot sustain itself.

The diversion of so much wealth to maintain the mightiest military machine in the history of the world has been a tremendous drain that has depleted our savings and thrown us into an abyss of debt. We have mortgaged the future of our nation in order to “save” the world from itself – but there’s no payoff, except the emotional rewards of extreme nationalism and militarism.”

The worthless justice system of a first world banana republic:

“A citizen may not gain standing by claiming a right to have the government follow the law,” (.pdf) Walker ruled late Thursday.

He noted that the plaintiffs include most every American connected to the internet or to have used a telephone — meaning the lawsuits boil down to a “general grievance” and are barred.

Judge Walker said that the lawsuits, in essence, cannot be brought because they are “citizen suits seeking to employ judicial remedies to punish and bring to heel high-level government officials for the allegedly illegal and unconstitutional warrantless electronic surveillance program or programs now widely, if incompletely, aired in the public forum.”

Cindy Cohn, the legal director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation that brought one of the cases, said the decision means “when you’re trying to stop the government from doing something illegal, and if the government does it to enough people, the courts can’t fix it.”

In early January we discovered that two of the seven directory authorities were compromised (moria1 and gabelmoo), along with metrics.torproject.org, a new server we’d recently set up to serve metrics data and graphs.

• The resurrection of the dead by technological means.
• A global network of thousands of virtual alternate realities, populated by billions of humans and AIs.
• A secret society of religious fanatics determined to turn back the calendar on human social evolution.
• A brutal top cop bent on usurping dictatorial powers.
• A cadre of high-tech vigilantes pledged to protect virtual freedom.
• A powerful pacifist elite who plot the end of war.
• A young man caught between the strictures of his upbringing and the love of his life.
• A society which must confront the very nature of what it means to be human.

These are the elements which collide explosively in The Last Trumpet Project, a sweeping and provocative novel of the near future.

Ron Paul: “Prepare for Revolutionary Changes in the Not-too-distant Future.”

“Could it all be a bad dream, or a nightmare? Is it my imagination, or have we lost our minds? It’s surreal; it’s just not believable. A grand absurdity; a great deception, a delusion of momentous proportions; based on preposterous notions; and on ideas whose time should never have come; simplicity grossly distorted and complicated; insanity passed off as logic; grandiose schemes built on falsehoods with the morality of Ponzi and Madoff; evil described as virtue; ignorance pawned off as wisdom; destruction and impoverishment in the name of humanitarianism; violence, the tool of change; preventive wars used as the road to peace; tolerance delivered by government guns; reactionary views in the guise of progress; an empire replacing the Republic; slavery sold as liberty; excellence and virtue traded for mediocracy; socialism to save capitalism; a government out of control, unrestrained by the Constitution, the rule of law, or morality; bickering over petty politics as we collapse into chaos; the philosophy that destroys us is not even defined.

We have broken from reality—a psychotic Nation. Ignorance with a pretense of knowledge replacing wisdom. Money does not grow on trees, nor does prosperity come from a government printing press or escalating deficits. (…continued)

The impactor’s estimated size was about 10 km (6 mi) in diameter and is estimated to have released 4×10²³ joules of energy, equivalent to 100,000,000 megatons of TNT on impact. By contrast, the most powerful man-made explosive device ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, had a yield of only 50 megatons, making the Chicxulub impact 2 million times more powerful. Even the largest known explosive volcanic eruption, which released approximately 10²¹ joules and created the La Garita Caldera, was substantially less powerful than the Chicxulub impact.
