Mitchell’s laws:
●The more federal budgets are cut and taxes increased, the weaker an economy becomes.
●Austerity is the government’s method for widening the gap between rich and poor, which ultimately leads to civil disorder.
●Until the 99% understand the need for federal deficits, the upper 1% will rule.
●To survive long term, a monetarily non-sovereign government must have a positive balance of payments.
●Those, who do not understand the differences between Monetary Sovereignty and monetary non-sovereignty, do not understand economics.
●The penalty for ignorance is slavery.
●Everything in economics devolves to motive.

Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize by Bill Chappell
You can read the article by clicking the above link, but I thought the key paragraphs were these:
Saying Edward Snowden has “contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order” by exposing U.S. surveillance practices and forcing a new debate over security and privacy, two Norwegian politicians nominated the former intelligence contractor for the Nobel Peace Prize on Wednesday.
Days before Clapper spoke on Capitol Hill, Snowden discussed the (U.S.) spy chief in an interview with German TV, as The New York Times reports:
“Mr. Snowden cited previous testimony from Mr. Clapper, in March of last year, as a prime factor in his decision to leak information to the public about the agency’s work. ‘I would say sort of the breaking point was seeing the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, directly lie under oath to Congress,’ Mr. Snowden said.
‘There’s no saving an intelligence community that believes it can lie to the public and the legislators who need to be able to trust it and regulate its actions. Seeing that really meant for me there was no going back.’“
That’s right, Mr. Snowden. The proven liar still has his job, while the one who exposed the lie is hounded by his government.
When criminal government employees, criminal bankers and criminal companies are rewarded for their lies, you know the nation has lost its moral leadership.
And that is the legacy of the Obama administration.

10 Steps to Economic Misery: (Click here:)
1. Maintain or increase the FICA tax..
2. Spread the myth Social Security, Medicare and the U.S. government are insolvent.
3. Cut federal employment in the military, post office, other federal agencies.
4. Broaden the income tax base so more lower income people will pay.
5. Cut financial assistance to the states.
6. Spread the myth federal taxes pay for federal spending.
7. Allow banks to trade for their own accounts; save them when their investments go sour.
8. Never prosecute any banker for criminal activity.
9. Nominate arch conservatives to the Supreme Court.
10. Reduce the federal deficit and debt
No nation can tax itself into prosperity, nor grow without money growth. Monetary Sovereignty: Cutting federal deficits to grow the economy is like applying leeches to cure anemia.
Two key equations in economics:
1. Federal Deficits – Net Imports = Net Private Savings
2. Gross Domestic Product = Federal Spending + Private Investment and Consumption – Net Imports
THE RECESSION CLOCK
As the federal deficit growth lines drop, we approach recession, which will be cured only when the lines rise. Federal deficit growth is absolutely, positively necessary for economic growth. Period.

They lost their moral leadership many, many moons prior to the Snowden revelations. In fact, it is quite questionable whether “they” ever possessed even a very small semblance of such? But, fairy tales are usually soothing; especially for those who believe in them. America, was it ever what you were told it was? Could it have ever been that place?

History will judge James R. Clapper Jr., the president’s director of national intelligence, as a liar and a traitor. Unfortunately, Congress has not chosen to do so.
But, of course, he is just a flunkey for President Obama, whom I feel sure, history will judge harshly.
