Bernanke Fears Fed Audit

The Suffolk Resolves

I printed the Suffolk Resolves today, and read it all the way through. It is amazing, simple amazing. The Resolves were authored by 34 year old Dr. Joseph Warren, who was killed in the battle of Bunker Hill.

Here’s a few quotes (the full text can be found at http://ahp.gatech.edu/suffolk_resolves_1774.html)

On the fortitude, on the wisdom and on the exertions of this important day, is suspended the fate of this new world, and of unborn millions. (You and me!–ed.) If a boundless extent of continent, swarming with millions, will tamely submit to live, move and have their being at the arbitrary will of a licentious minister, they basely yield to voluntary slavery, and future generations shall load their memories with incessant execrations.–On the other hand, if we arrest the hand which would ransack our pockets, if we disarm the parricide which points the dagger to our bosoms, if we nobly defeat that fatal edict which proclaims a power to frame laws for us in all cases whatsoever, thereby entailing the endless and numberless curses of slavery upon us, our heirs and their heirs forever; if we successfully resist that unparalleled usurpation of unconstitutional power, whereby our capital is robbed of the means of life; whereby the streets of Boston are thronged with military executioners; whereby our coasts are lined and harbours crouded with ships of war; whereby the charter of the colony, that sacred barrier against the encroachments of tyranny, is mutilated and, in effect, annihilated; whereby a murderous law is framed to shelter villains from the hands of justice; whereby the unalienable and inestimable inheritance, which we derived from nature, the constitution of Britain, and the privileges warranted to us in the charter of the province, is totally wrecked, annulled, and vacated, posterity will acknowledge that virtue which preserved them free and happy; and while we enjoy the rewards and blessings of the faithful, the torrent of panegyrists will roll our reputations to that latest period, when the streams of time shall be absorbed in the abyss of eternity…

2. That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.

4. That no obedience is due from this province to either or any part of the acts above-mentioned, but that they be rejected as the attempts of a wicked administration to enslave America.

9. That the fortifications begun and now carrying on upon Boston Neck, are justly alarming to this county, and gives us reason to apprehend some hostile intention against that town, more especially as the commander in chief has, in a very extraordinary manner, removed the powder from the magazine at Charlestown, and has also forbidden the keeper of the magazine at Boston, to deliver out to the owners, the powder, which they had lodged in said magazine.

11. That whereas our enemies have flattered themselves that they shall make an easy prey of this numerous, brave and hardy people, from an apprehension that they are unacquainted with military discipline; we, therefore, for the honour, defence and security of this county and province, advise, as it has been recommended to take away all commissions from the officers of the militia, that those who now hold commissions, or such other persons, be elected in each town as officers in the militia, as shall be judged of sufficient capacity for that purpose, and who have evidenced themselves the inflexible friends to the rights of the people; and that the inhabitants of those towns and districts, who are qualified, do use their utmost diligence to acquaint themselves with the art of war as soon as possible, and do, for that purpose, appear under arms at least once every week.

18. That whereas the universal uneasiness which prevails among all orders of men, arising from the wicked and oppressive measures of the present administration, may influence some unthinking persons to commit outrage upon private property; we would heartily recommend to all persons of this community, not to engage in any routs, riots, or licentious attacks upon the properties of any person whatsoever, as being subversive of all order and government; but, by a steady, manly, uniform, and persevering opposition, to convince our enemies, that in a contest so important, in a cause so solemn, our conduct shall be such as to merit the approbation of the wise, and the admiration of the brave and free of every age and of every country.

When the Government Plays Doctor, by Ron Paul

When Government Plays Doctor

This week, concerns about swine flu have dominated the media and many government officials. While the American people should be made aware of infectious diseases and common sense preventative measures, much of the hysterical reaction from government only serves to remind us how detrimental to your health it can be when government plays doctor.

As a physician, I have yet to see any evidence that justifies the current level of alarm. Influenza typically kills around 36,000 people every year in this country and hospitalizes a couple hundred thousand. So far there are only a handful of confirmed deaths attributable to this strain, and most of those sickened have or will fully recover. Every death is tragic, but I see no reason to deal with this flu outbreak any differently than we typically deal with any other flu season. Instead, government in its infinite wisdom is performing even more invasive screening at airports, closing down schools and sporting events, and causing general panic.

We had a similar outbreak in 1976, with only 1 death from the flu, but mandatory vaccinations killed at least 25 before the program was abandoned.

When government gets involved in healthcare decisions, the cure is so often worse than the illness. And yet, this administration will likely consolidate the government’s power over your health with sweeping new reforms that are already being discussed in the Senate.

Government has not improved healthcare, and has not made it cheaper. Quite the opposite; costs have skyrocketed, and quality has gone down in many ways. Gone are the days of the country doctor making house calls, or of voluntarily giving away medical services at charity hospitals. The bureaucratization of healthcare these past 45 years has made things worse. It saddens me as a doctor that physicians are less and less accountable to patients, but more and more accountable to government red tape, insurance companies and attorneys. It seems so perverse to me that important medical decisions that will directly affect the lives of all or nearly all Americans are being hashed out behind closed doors in Washington rather than between doctors and patients.

There is perhaps nothing more valuable to a human being than his or her health, which is why I’ve always considered the practice of medicine so crucial to our well-being. Any intrusion by government into the privacy and trust between doctor and patient is detrimental to the art of medicine. It distorts the whole dynamic of who the client really is when doctors must answer more to government or insurance companies than to their patients. The best solutions to improving quality and lowering costs of healthcare would be measures that put decisions back into the hands of patients and doctors, where they rightfully belong. I have introduced HR 1495 The Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Act, which promotes health savings accounts and tax deductibility of healthcare costs as an important step in this direction.

The unfortunate reality of this recent health crisis, as with any crisis, is that it presents opportunities that the unscrupulous will take advantage of, while the fearful become more compliant.

Wendell Berry on Freedom and Dependence

A person dependent on somebody else for everything from potatoes to opinions may declare that he is a free man, and his government may issue a certificate granting him his freedom, but he will not be free. He is that variety of specialist known as a consumer, which means that he is the abject dependent of producers. How can he be free if he can do nothing for himself? What is the First Amendment to him whose mouth is stuck to the tit of the “affluent society”? Men are free precisely to the extent that they are equal to their own needs. The most able are the most free.

–Wendell Berry, “Discipline and Hope” in A Continuous Harmony (1972), pp. 124

Correspondence with a Legislator

(First I present my letter that was sent to the entire North Dakota House of Representatives)

Greetings:

 I am writing in support of House Concurrent Resolutions 3046 and 3049, which deal with measures to be placed on the ballot next election regarding property tax elimination and a spending cap (limiting the growth of ND government to the CPI without a direct vote of the people authorizing more than that).  Both of these are important ways we can work to reduce the size of government, and put money back into the hands of the people.  After all, the people are the best at stewarding their own money.

 Both resolutions would only put the measure on the ballot next year, allowing a full discussion to be had by the people in the meantime and then a direct vote.

 Please vote in favor of these two resolutions.  Thank you, 

Jonathan

Jonathan,

Why would we want to reduce the size of government? Government provides very useful services that we can’t do by ourselves. Roads. Airports. Parks. Mosquito spraying. Police protection. Fire Protection. An organized education system for all. Organized support of job creation and retention. Enforcement of laws, protection of rights.

We are more than a bunch of individuals in the wild. 

E.G.

This deserves a complete response in the future, but for the present I am sure the readers of this blog can surmise what I would say in response.

Caught, Red-Handed

“If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full … the state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially that of others.”  –Bertrand Russel

Although you haven’t been hearing this on the mainstream American news, a very scary development has occurred proving once again that the forces behind the curtain will stop at nothing to achieve their goal of global population reduction. According to the Toronto Sun, the vaccine manufacturer Baxter International was caught inserting the live H5N1 virus, otherwise known as bird flu, into the standard flu vaccine that was going to be distributed to 18 countries. This would have been a very deadly biological weapon. As the Sun reported, “While H5N1 doesn’t easily infect people, H3N2 [standard influenza] viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.”

As Paul Joseph Watson over at Infowars wrote in his article, “‘Accidental’ Contamination Of Vaccine With Live Avian Flu Virus Virtually Impossible”,  this can only be a deliberate attempt to instigate a pandemic of avian flu.  The high security and safety standards required at the Baxter facilities would make an accidental combination of these two specific viruses in such a large quantity highly unlikely.  The following are some links for you to verify the goal of the elite to reduce the world’s population–there is much more information to be had, though, and another place to check for more information is the Patriot Theater, linked on the side bar here.  Watch “Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement.”
