			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Barackazillion is &#8220;The Only Currency You Will Ever Need&#8221; &#8211; go to <a href="http://barackazillion.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://barackazillion.com/</a> and watch the video to see how it works.</p>
<p>&#8220;Money We Can Believe In&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;As Good As Gold&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/File?id=dgf56sb3_492gsz2zchf_b" target="_blank"><img src="https://docs.google.com/File?id=dgf56sb3_492gsz2zchf_b" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>For those who lean left or right, I would have created the same currency for Bush had I thought of it then. Contrary to mainstream media belief, the Republicans were big spenders too during the Bush years. They have only become fiscally conservative to have something to counteract the Democrats with since this mostly neo-conservative Republican party has been duped into loving and supporting wars (you know who you are). How Christian of you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Understand the Truth</strong></p>
<p>I am neither left nor right in my political views. The media would have you argue left versus right politics till you are blue or red in the face. The whole time the elites of the world, including those who are in Congress, you know, the one&#8217;s you keep electing to office each year, are destroying our monetary system. It&#8217;s the monetary system that keeps things going. Congress should let the bad banks fail and we move on with a secure system. Instead, both sides of the political aisle, in the name of &#8220;saving the system&#8221; only put us further into debt and deficits.</p>
<p><strong>So What&#8217;s Next?</strong></p>
<p>If you are a Christian, Atheist, Black, White, Gay, Straight, you are being affected by what Congress does. It matters not who is at the top except for the executive powers they abuse.</p>
<p>I will create a new currency exposing the same issues for the next President if Obama doesn&#8217;t get elected to a second term, although Romneyazillion just doesn&#8217;t have the same zing to it&#8230;</p>
<p>The point of the Barackazillion currency is to mock our Federal Reserve System that continues to print money out of thin air in allowing Congress to pay for things (wars, deficits and national debt), thus enslaving us for years to come. This has to end! Electing a different leader doesn&#8217;t change anything!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve personally used the Barackazillion to pay for a taxi ride. I convinced the driver that it was a new currency available here in the U.S. and he accepted it (I later paid cash after testing out my theories that I could convince people it is acceptable currency). This is the level we have devolved to in America. People believe anything they hear&#8230;like from the mouths of Congress and the media. In the end, Congress will do what the elitist want them to do. They&#8217;ll bail out the banks. They&#8217;ll bail out big business. They&#8217;ll have you pay for it. Why don&#8217;t you citizens here in America understand this? Why do you believe everything the media tells you to believe as if it&#8217;s Gospel? The media is complicit in what is happening too. Why don&#8217;t most of you who are glued to the television get it? Of course there are exceptions to this&#8230;more people are waking up.</p>
<p>Much of this analysis I do will be explained further in my forthcoming book, &#8220;We the Serfs.&#8221; I have spent the last 5 years working on this book and have put all the pieces of the puzzle together for you to understand what&#8217;s really going on in America. It is a Christian/Political book based on facts. It is also a book that those of any other religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation, will agree makes sense. Of course those in Congress and the media won&#8217;t really like it, except for a few.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t any kind of conspiracy theory either. When I say the media is complicit, I can prove it. Of course there isn&#8217;t any media in America that will allow me to explain, so I am going after those who keep the truth from U.S. citizens by mocking them. It&#8217;s rather easy for me to do you know&#8230; Naturally, creating a currency that competes with Federal Reserve Notes would not be something that Congress or the Federal Reserve would want for us citizens. That&#8217;s why they tax gold and silver at 28%. They don&#8217;t want competition to their monetary system scheme. But unfortunately, it is this scheme that cannot last, and you will be the one left without a chair at the end unless you do something now.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong></p>
<p>Congress would not be able to do this if there was no Federal Reserve enabling them to spend more than they have available. Congress would not be able to keep spending more than they have available if there were a Constitutional amendment to constrain their spending to income earned like the rest of us have to do living here in America.</p>
<p>Ending the Fed and implementing a Constitutional amendment would result in the following;</p>
<ul>
<li>The over-spending by Congress would end</li>
<li>The wars would end and lives saved</li>
<li>The economy would recover</li>
</ul>
<p>You have choices come election time. That&#8217;s what the media would have you believe. But no matter who you elect won&#8217;t change the flawed system. The rules have to change first, and we elect people who will abide by those rules. Every Congressman swears to uphold the Constitution. They simply don&#8217;t once in office. So taking away one of their tools that allows them to spend like drunken sailors is the first step. We must End the Fed. A second step is to implement a Constitutional amendment that constrains Congress with SEVERE penalties, including personal ones (loss of government pension, loss of health care benefits in retirement, etc.), if they don&#8217;t adhere to it. Without the penalties, Congress will continue to abuse us citizens like they have since 1971. Make it personal and they&#8217;ll act in our best interest rather than the elite&#8217;s. After all, it is We the People they serve.</p>
<p>There is of course more to it than these simple changes. Again, this will be explained further in my forthcoming book.</p>
<p><strong>What happens if there are no Congressional constraints and the Federal Reserve continues to implement Quantitative Easing?</strong></p>
<p>If we don&#8217;t do something that stops this madness that Congress and the Fed have become, the result will be &#8220;We the <del>People</del> Serfs.&#8221; It will result in the end of the greatest country&#8217;s economic system on earth. It will result in the end of our monetary system as we know it because everything Congress and the Fed does is unsustainable. It&#8217;s simple math folks&#8230;there&#8217;s a reason why our kids calculators can&#8217;t compute one Trillion&#8230;.or one Barackazillion (you really do have to <a href="http://barackazillion.com" target="_blank">watch the Barackazillion video</a>).</p>
<p><strong>We must live within our means as a nation for the system to work! Everyone else has to! This is the issue&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Feel free to pass this message on to your family and friends&#8230;or, do nothing and just elect the same people into office who cater to the elite&#8217;s because they have the tools to make themselves wealthy at your expense. It&#8217;s up to you to be proactive. Enlightenment can come with a simple forwarding of this message&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In preparation for the coming elections, including the 2012 election where Ron Paul&#8217;s star will shine, there is still a battle to be waged with those on the right and left who love war.</p>
<p>During the 2008 election, I battled it out with the neo-con&#8217;s on Michelle Malkin&#8217;s site. The moment I mentioned anything about the war, they immediately tried to paint me as a democrat (of course they can&#8217;t do that any longer).</p>
<p>I learned that before making comments on these types of neo-conservative sites, I need to write a disclaimer for each reply. The moment I mentioned Ron Paul&#8217;s name, the same disclaimer had to be expanded to include; &#8220;I&#8217;m not a conspiracy nut, don&#8217;t wear a tin foil hat, and I&#8217;m not a racist, let&#8217;s debate the issues.&#8221;</p>
<p>With that said, I weeded out 95% of the responders. The other 5% and I had good &#8220;discussions&#8221; with. Which leads me to the topic of this post; how to approach the neo-cons circa 2010.</p>
<p>Since facebook is more prevalent than it was in 2008, this is a good place to have these types of discussions. The importance here is to keep it as a discussion, and not an argument. Human emotion takes control of us sometimes and a simple reply of malice intent can ruin the whole effort to convert to your point of view.</p>
<p>It is not easy to enlighten some of the neo-cons. I consider the following facebook conversation (see below) with a friend of mine, to be a perfect example. Not too many people reply to his constant, pro-Republican, pro-war, pro-Israel posts. He knows where I stand on things because I do reply. While he tries to spin my comments into a mocking of myself (I&#8217;m sure if he were in charge, I would have been accused of being a heretic and burned at the stake if in another era), I try to keep on track and make my points with solid facts. Because of our friendship, I don&#8217;t reply to ALL his posts&#8230;but pick and choose.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t won him over, but with some of these neo-conservative types, it won&#8217;t be possible to do so. But the important thing is, all of his 100 or so friends are reading what he and I are writing. And that I believe is a good way to win people over&#8230;without ever meeting them.</p>
<p>If I choose to make him look like a fool, which I could easily do, it is I who looks like the fool to all HIS friends.</p>
<p>This is the message I&#8217;d like to convey moving forward. Keep your cool and have a good discussion. Keep the friendship&#8230;and know others are watching (also, when they make a comment like &#8220;I&#8217;m done,&#8221; which has happened with a couple of these people I have spoken with, take it as a silent victory, and don&#8217;t gloat!).</p>
<p>Here was my latest conversation &#8211; he already knows I&#8217;m a Ron Paul supporter from prior conversations &#8211; and so do his friends (last names withheld):</p>
<p>Jim (first post):<br />
New UK Prime Minister David Cameron gets it: succeed in Afghanistan, secure economic growth and fight protectionism. Any chance we can trade Obama for Mr. Cameron? We will likely need to throw in some cash and a player to be named later.</p>
<p>Doug:<br />
Succeed in Afghanistan while Rome burns?</p>
<p>Jim:<br />
Isolationism is not a solution.</p>
<p>Doug:<br />
At a cost of over $1 Trillion since the war began, our politicians choose non-declared war interventionism against no country, but a group (al-qaeda). The Russians tried fighting this group and it bankrupted their country. At some point we will walk away from these wars and some in power will claim victory. The question is, will it be before or after said bankruptcy that is hurried along by the Obama administrations spending spree (including increasing the presence of the troops in Afghanistan). Hey&#8230;that&#8217;s something you and Obama do agree on! lol<br />
Time will tell Jim&#8230;</p>
<p>From a Christian standpoint&#8230;and the thesis of my second book, I will state the case against the wars despite Billy Kristol&#8217;s (not Billy Crystal to anyone reading this) best efforts. The same goes for Warlord Sean Hannity.</p>
<p>Isolationism and non-interventionism are two separate things. I&#8217;m all for trading with &#8220;all&#8221; neighbors&#8230;we could use some of them buying our stuff to help out GDP!</p>
<p>Jim<br />
Islamic extremists have declared WWIII. We can ignore them and continue to pay the consequences, or stick our head in the sand because they are an untraditional enemy without defined borders. Losing this war will cost exponentially more in dollars and lives than the cost of fighting back. Semantics aside, your &#8220;non-intervention&#8221; strategy is a loser on every level.</p>
<p>Doug:<br />
Moving stuff into storage now Jim&#8230;obviously we see things differently. But you already know that. Will reply later&#8230;</p>
<p>Doug:<br />
Islamic extremism is today what communism was in decades past. The elite always need a cause to &#8220;defeat&#8221; in order to keep their well funded military industrial complex well oiled (if you get my drift).</p>
<p>We defeated communism without war. All &#8220;they&#8221; want is the reasoning and people like Billy Kristol, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity from the right and all the folks from the left who forgot what Obama&#8217;s campaign promises were are just as guilty.</p>
<p>Be careful what you wish for: <a title="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/nick-clegg/7903576/Coalition-confusion-as-Nick-Clegg-tells-Commons-that-the-Iraq-war-was-illegal.html" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/nick-clegg/7903576/Coalition-confusion-as-Nick-Clegg-tells-Commons-that-the-Iraq-war-was-illegal.html" target="_blank">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/nick-cle&#8230;</a></p>
<p>Jim:<br />
So your position is that Islamic extremists are the victims of America&#8217;s elites? Suicide bombers, terrorist training camps, exploitation of women, 9/11&#8230;perpetrated by a conspiracy of Dick Cheney and his ilk&#8230;and Sharia Law is as harmless as Communism. Okay, I&#8217;m sold.</p>
<p>Doug:<br />
As far as Islamic extremist go, if America wanted to, they would have gone after the 17 out of 19 terrorists who were from Saudi Arabia, part of the most radical Islamic group in the world, the Wahabbis. But instead, Bush took the war to Iraq? This isn&#8217;t a conspiracy, it&#8217;s fact.<br />
What neoconservatives want to do is take the war everywhere to fight an enemy that is fueled further by the innocent victims seeking revenge (read the book &#8220;Blowback&#8221; to understand this). They should also study just war theory, especially those who call themselves Christian.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s as if these folks never played the game of Risk. Meanwhile, China, if they wanted to, will just wait for America to implode. And implode we will Jim. The right will blame Obama. The left won&#8217;t have a leg to stand on. Both the right and the left are complicit. When they come to require the youth to fight their bloody wars, that will be the last straw. The youth won&#8217;t go for it. Meanwhile, the police state grows, TSA lackies frisk 12 year old girls and Homeland Security lets gang members cross the borders by the hundreds every day. Don&#8217;t you think our priorities are a little ass backwards?</p>
<p>&#8220;The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.&#8221; Sun Tzu</p>
<p>Jim:<br />
The 9/11 terrorists and many others are Saudis, but train in Afgan, Sudanese and Somali camps. Bush&#8217;s recognition of the Islamic threat and vision was soundly documented in his National Security Strategy documents of 2002 and 2006, and his Iraq strategy was endorsed by 17 mostly-unanimous UN resolutions over three years. Unfortunately it helps to be right AND execute well. Either way, your NeoCon conspiracy theories (and lingo) are straight out of 1996 and your isolationist solutions date back to 1916, though your extremist appeasement leanings smack of Obama 2010. I am an optimist and I trust the American people to swing the pendulum back to common sense (vs. PC), economic growth (vs. wealth redistribution) and the principles outlined by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution. It&#8217;s not rocket science, it is not a conspiracy and the U.S. will not &#8220;implode&#8221; (whatever that means). Agree to disagree. I&#8217;m done.</p>
<p>Doug:<br />
It&#8217;s ok Jim&#8230; I&#8217;ll let my book do the talking&#8230; But the wars were not &#8220;declared&#8221; per the Constitution. Have a good one&#8230;</p>
<p>(I could have easily addressed the issues of his last post, but chose to take up the battle, erm, discussion, at a later time, respecting the fact that it is his facebook page I&#8217;m commenting on).</p>
<p>Share your thoughts and tactics&#8230;would love to hear them&#8230;</p>
