One of the main platforms of the Ron Paul campaign has been the continued call to return to the use of “Sound Money”.  Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but by this they seem to advocate a return to the “Gold Standard” in which the value of the dollar is pegged to gold.  I might be a complete imbecile when it comes to economics but I fail to see how this would work.  Please allow me to pose a few questions so that those of your with more knowledge on the subject can help to fill me in.

The main reason given for a return to the “Gold Standard” is the virtual elimination of the inflationary wave our money system has been riding since the creation of the Federal Reserve System.  I understand that increasing the money supply leads to inflation and that tying money to a limited physical source such as gold lends some control over the amount of money that may be printed.  Here is the part I don’t seem to be able to grasp.  Let’s imagine for a moment that the U.S.’s gold supply has indeed been sold out from underneath us.  If we hold no gold supply how can we tie our currency to something we don’t own?  The biggest complaint I hear is that a privately owned institution (the Federal Reserve) currently controls inflation/deflation through their ability to create unlimited money.  How would this change by going to a gold based system when the same people behind the Federal Reserve also own all the gold?  Wouldn’t they still control the creation of currency by having the ability to control the gold supplies?  Isn’t this what happened during the revolutionary war which caused the printing of Colonial Scrip in the first place?

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that letting privately owned institutions control your money supply and charge you interest for doing so makes no sense.  I just don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept of fixing it by allowing the same group to control it in a different manner.  Am I missing the boat here?

The mainstream news just seems to get sillier and shallower with each passing day.  Our world is becoming incredibly unstable, corruption is everywhere, we are on the verge of another massive economic crisis, government debt is absolutely exploding, war could erupt in the Middle East at any time and signs of deep social decay are everywhere and yet the mainstream media seems absolutely obsessed with reporting on celebrities and scandals.  It would be nice if the mainstream media would do a lot more true investigative reporting and would actually try to answer some of the difficult questions that we are being faced with.  Unfortunately, most of what passes for “news” these days is essentially just “infotainment”.  That is one of the reasons why we have seen such a surge in the popularity of alternative news outlets in recent years.  People are searching for the truth, and they know that they are not getting much of it from the mainstream media these days.

One thing that I enjoy doing is pointing out some of the really silly stories that pass for “news” these days.  Let’s take a quick look at some of the headlines on the front pages of some of the biggest news sites on the Internet right now….

CNN

“Is this baby doll really saying b****?”

“Toddler accidentally served vodka”

“Elton John frets over Gaga”

MSNBC

“Zimmerman stocks up on Cheetos in jail”

“Axl Rose robbed of $200,000 worth of jewelry”

“Taco Bell may take on Chipotle with ‘Cantina’ menu”

Fox News

“Custom Car Builder Claims Hot Wheels Stole His Truck”

“Lighter Side of ‘Tanning Mom’”

“Nudist expo bares all in naked tourist industry”

It must be a slow news day, right?

Wrong.

Our world is changing faster than ever before and bombshell stories are breaking at a pace that is really hard to keep up with.

Sadly, the mainstream media in the United States is pretty much a total joke at this point.

But that doesn’t mean that the rest of us can’t ask the important questions and search for the important answers.

Can you answer these 25 questions that the mainstream media in the United States does not seem to have answers to?….

1 – What in the world was Mitt Romney doing at the Bilderberg Group conference?  Reporter Charlie Skelton claims that he has four different eyewitnesses that saw Romney there….

Four eyewitnesses on the hotel staff told me Willard Mitt Romney was here at Bilderberg 2012. My four eyewitnesses place him inside. That’s one more than Woodward and Bernstein used. Romney’s office initially refused to confirm or deny his attendance as Bilderberg is “not public”. They later said it was not him.

2 – Is the financial crisis in Europe ultimately going to result in the creation of a new “European superstate” dominated by Germany?

3 – Shouldn’t we be alarmed that a thousand tons of radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear disaster is being poured into the Pacific Ocean every single day?

4 – Why is the mainstream media in the United States so silent about the grave threat that Fukushima reactor number 4 poses to the entire northern hemisphere?

5 – Why are radiation levels in the rain falling in southern California five times above normal?

6 – The CDC is located in Atlanta, Georgia.  A number of people down in Georgia have recently been attacked by flesh-eating bacteria.  Is there any connection?

7 – Why is the EPA now using drones to spy on farmers in Nebraska and Iowa?

8 – Is the Obama administration actually going to take military action against Syria before the November election?

9 – Are we on the verge of seeing World War III erupt in the Middle East?

10 – Why has Citigroup been put in charge of issuing “digital-identity badges” to individuals that work for Defense Department contractors?

11 – Why are “pre-crime” cameras being installed in mass transit locations all over the United States? Just check out the following example….

A new breed of security cameras can supposedly detect terrorism and crime without a human judgment call–and mass transit agencies are shelling out big bucks for the product. San Francisco’s Municipal Transit Authority, which oversees the city’s MUNI trains, has signed a contract with security firm BRS Labs to deploy cameras to 12 subway stations that use algorithms and machine learning techniques to spot anomalous behavior.

12 – Why is the Department of Homeland Security monitoring the use of hundreds of different keywords on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter?

13 – Why are smart meters being aggressively pushed down the throats of American consumers when most people don’t want them in their homes?

14 – What does the fact that “organized shoplifting” is rapidly rising in America say about the level of social decay in our nation?

15 – Why has the U.S. Congress been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on printing costs related to meaningless declarations?  The following is from a recent Daily Caller article….

The U.S. Senate has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on printing costs associated with passing simple resolutions declaring observances such as “National Chess Day,” “National Safe Digging Month” and the “Year of Water.”

16 – Why was the U.S. government spending 20 million dollars to develop a Pakistani version of Sesame Street?

17 – Why aren’t Americans being warned that the share of the U.S. national debt per person is on pace to triple by the year 2037?

18 – Why are parents being arrested for cheering at high school graduation ceremonies?

19 – Why did swarms of large spiders suddenly attack large numbers of people attending a religious festival in one town in India recently?….

It may sound like a B-grade horror movie, but residents of the town of Sadiya, in Assam state, say that on the evening of May 8 as they were celebrating a Hindu festival swarms of spiders suddenly appeared and attacked them, The Times of India reported.

Over the next few days two people — a man, Purnakanta Buragohain, and an unnamed school boy — died after being bitten by the spiders. Scores more turned up at the town’s hospital with spider bites.

20 – Why have there been so many “cannibalism incidents” in the United States lately?

21 – Why does the United Nations want to govern the Internet?  Why aren’t more people getting upset about their attempted power grab?

22 – Why has Planned Parenthood been allowed to set up a clinic inside a high school in Los Angeles?

23 – Why is the U.S. military developing a plan to implant microchips into our soldiers?

24 – Why are some schools in Texas planning to use RFID tracking chips to monitor the movement of their students?  Just check out what one school district down in the San Antonio area has planned….

Northside Independent School District plans to track students next year on two of its campuses using technology implanted in their student identification cards in a trial that could eventually include all 112 of its schools and all of its nearly 100,000 students.

25 – Why have TSA agents been caught committing so many crimes?  The following is what one member of Congress recently had to say about a new report detailing dozens of serious crimes that TSA agents have committed in recent years….

“TSA needs to immediately remove themselves from the human resource business. This report details highly disturbing cases where pedophiles and child pornographers wearing federal law enforcement uniforms are not only patting down unsuspecting travelers, but in many cases stealing valuables from their bags. Enough is enough. It’s time for Congress to step in and demand accountability from Administrator Pistole”

Do you have any other difficult questions that should be added to this list?

News | A Loss in the Family

A Loss in the Family

June 4, 2012

We were very sad today to hear that we have lost a member of our family as mastering engineer extraordinaire George Marino passed away following a year long battle with lung cancer.  While some of you may not instantly recognize George’s name, he was an invaluable member of our extended Metalli-family and was absolutely crucial with his skills and guidance as he spent countless days and hours tweaking every nuance and sound on The Black Album, Load, Re-Load, Garage, Inc., and S&M.

George was the unsung hero behind the scenes on hundreds of classic albums working in all genres of music including Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions, AC/DC‘s Back In Black, Guns N’ Roses‘ Appetite for Destruction, Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet, Journey‘s Frontiers, and Cyndi Lauper’s She's So Unusual, just to name a few... he has worked with Ozzy Osboune, the Allman Brothers, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Kiss, the Offspring, the Cars, Coldplay and countless others.  In his nearly 40 years at Sterling Sound, he won three Grammy awards, most recently in 2011 for Arcade Fire‘s The Suburbs, which won Album of the Year.

His talent, professionalism, attention to detail and above all true dedication to music, along with the mere fact that George was simply one of the nicest people we have ever met in anywhere in the music business, makes today a very sad one for everyone in the Metallica family and he will be missed by all.

The Real Facts:

The Pope of the Catholic Church is the CEO of the NWO movement carrying out the directives of the Bilderberger’s Planning Group.

The Catholics are the single largest body of Real Occult Practitioners in the World!

The Roman Catholic Church is participating in the NWO as Part of the correctly interpreted prophecy of the REVIVED Holy Roman Empire, in the pattern of Charlemagne.  Your TV  - Televangelist won’t tell you THAT!  (Its even hidden in the movies like the Omen and the remake Omen 666! as a Key Embedded Fact!)

Secret Catholic Suppression and Persecution!!!

(The Catholics also keep an updated version of an Internet Data Base on you, your Family, Your Church.  If anyone puts flags your name on the List – you will be subjected to all kinds of persecutions – from attacking you online, to home invasions, and a lot worse  etc.!

MUST See : video      James Arrabito and Alberto Rivera were both murdered for making this information public!

I know people who know a Catholic priest as a dear old friend  - who called them in the middle of the night to warn them that they had been put on the Secret Catholic Persecution Internet List – and told them to change all their computer passwords – NOW!       He said he could get in Real trouble if anybody found out he warned them!

If you have read this, then you too have been Warned!!   It may be the only warning you get - SO YOU BETTER LISTEN NOW!!!!!

The Bible as the Word of God tells us that we will not be taken unawares!!

In the Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ

Im not on here tryin to totally bash musicians that are played on the radio.. There are alot of famous musicians I like.. But If they can’t have the freedom to tell the truth..then count me out!! If they have to subliminally try to give us messages in their music..What’s the point? Like Tupac for example.. Do you honestly think that the people behind Tupac had NOoo Idea what he was saying in his lyrics until after they were released? They’re STILL makin money off of him from the masses of people!! They Know!! And if they know..it brings the Question to my mind What’s really pushing the industry? 1 or 2 songs from an artist pretentending to be about the truth..doesn’t make up for the hundreds of songs that are about bullshit.. At least that’s my opinion.. But if you want to keep wasting your money on that.. Who am I to judge.. Im not sayin my music is better than theirs..but at least I have the freedom to tell the truth.. Not for money.. Not for fame.. Not to get all the hoes.. But simply because it’s my passion..It’s in me.. And Im not sayin it’s wrong to make a living off of your passion.. Just don’t turn into somthing you’re not to get it.. That’s encouragement to some and just noise to others.. Neway lol.. Enough ranting.. Here are a few new songs for you guys.. I have plenty more on the way.. And if you didn’t hear the songs I already have on here you should check those out as well.. Thanks for listening.. Keep real music alive.. Love and peace will prevail :)

Deadly Drone Strike on Muslims in the Southern Philippines

#winloseordrone

(via the Brookings Institute)

Early last month, Tausug villagers on the Southern Philippine island of Jolo heard a buzzing sound not heard before. It is a sound familiar to the people of Waziristan who live along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, where the United States fights the Taliban. It was the dreaded drone, which arrives from distant and unknown destinations to cause death and destruction. Within minutes, 15 people lay dead and a community plunged into despair, fear and mourning.

The U.S. drone strike, targeting accused leaders in the Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah organisations, marked the first time the weapon has been used in Southeast Asia. The drone has so far been used against Muslim groups and the Tausug are the latest on the list.

Just as in Pakistan and other theatres of the "war on terror", the strike has provoked controversy, with a Filipino lawmaker condemning the attack as a violation of national sovereignty. This controversy could increase with the recent American announcement that it plans to boost its drone fleet in the Philippines by 30 per cent. The U.S. already has hundreds of troops stationed on Jolo Island, but until now, the Americans have maintained a non-combat "advisory" role.

The expansion of U.S.' drone war has the potential to further enflame a volatile conflict involving the southern Muslim areas and Manila, which has killed around 120,000 people over the past four decades. To understand what is happening in the Philippines and the U.S.' role in the conflict, we need to look at the Tausug, among the most populous and dominant of the 13 groups of Muslims in the South Philippines known as "Moro", a pejorative name given by Spanish colonisers centuries ago.
