The US is going to be in a world of hurt when Iraq sues us for invading them. Especially after we admit it was an illegal war started on false pretenses. Perhaps they should go after the Bu$h Family and the Cheney'$. They certainly made a lot of profit from the wars we were in.

I think I'll start my own website for RV news and just repeat the stuff they post on xxxxxxxxxxx. I'll call it "dinarmentia.com." Who wants to sign up?

The could just do a remake of The Sting and put it in the dinar contaxt. The looong con.

Here is what is going on behind the scenes for taking care of the national debt of the US and those who are blocking it. This link includes mention of how Queen Elizabeth has put a lien on everything in the US. http://alcuinbramerton.blogspot.com/2010/10/world-global-settlement-funds.html

Good point KD. The one serious flaw in the assumptions you make is that the taxes we pay to the IRS are applied to paying off the national debt. EVERY penny of it goes to the IMF to pay the interest on debts and the bankruptcy of the US back in 1933. And, I have heard that the Queen of England, not Great Britain, has put a lien on everything in the US including the birth certificate bonds of its indentured citizens. http://nesaranews.blogspot.com/2011/06/attorney-al-clifton-hodges-officially.html

I doubt Big Pharma will allow hemp to be legalized. Marijuana has been a natural cure for many diseases, including cancer, that they would never allow it to be legal so that people could grow a cure for cancer in their backyard. Go to youtube and search for "run from the cure" if you want to learn more about it.

The US is going bankrupt but there always seems to be money for another war. We are at war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya and who knows how many other countries our drones are targeting. What Kaddafi had was a country where banks were not allowed to charge interest on loans. That was what is "intolerable" to the rest of the world banks, esp the IMF. And Dman, why does the US have the right to stop another country from trying to undermine the US$? The private bank called the Federal Reserve, prints the money out of thin air and then loans it to our govt, with interest. that's been happening since 1913. As Jefferson said, "give me the right to print money, and I can ruin a country."

I'm reminded of a recent news article about how 25 top US corporations paid zero(0) taxes last year. I'm sure they, as American companies, have no qualms about paying NO taxes and using all the resources of our country. If they can do it, and the IRS has nothing to say about it, then that should be our approach too. They say the laws of our land should apply equally to all. I'd like to work with that assumption, but, I also see that when a person is convicted of a crime, they go to jail. I have yet to see a corporation go to jail for any crime they are convicted of. Be that as it may, I believe we, as individuals, can take the same path as the corporations that paid NO taxes last year.

Oh please, let's not make it into a religious thing. Everyone can attach whatever meaning they want from this event. Most are taking a risk for a huge payout. That speaks to greed, so if you want to attach a religious meaning to this event, perhaps for those so inclined, the most apt metaphor can be when the Jews made idols out of gold cuz they got tired of waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain.

Hey Laid Back, I hope that you don't buy all that propaganda about "communists." If you knew what true communism was, you'd realize that there are no communist countries in the world. Just like the US is not a true capitalist country. We have something that is a merging of business and government; which is called facism. Also, when you describe conditions there, they are not that much different from here in the USA. Except they have health care paid for by the state. Something like 90% of the stocks are held by less than 1% of the population in America. We live under the illusion of freedom and have maybe 9-12% of people who are permanently unemployed. People are losing jobs left and right as so called "American" companies relocate overseas to avoid paying US taxes.

Hi Smee, In American politics, there is an easy way to tell Republicans from Democrats. The Republicans only have ONE solution to our economic woes and that's, "Cut taxes to the rich." That is their solution when the economy is doing well, so-so, or in a deep recession. Republicans only have that one message. A corollary to that is that they are OPPOSED to ANY oversight of big businesses that are ripping off the public. An example of that is when Obama nominated Elizabeth Warren to head the new consumer watchdog agency. She has been a vocal critic of banks that are overcharging people on credit card fees and all the credit default swaps that took the real estate sector over a cliff. And guess which party has been adamantly against her getting the job? Warren also rightly points out that after the last Depression in the 1920's, the Glass Steagle Act was enacted to put brakes on the amount of risks banks could take with their money. We did not have a recession for 60 or so years. Then, the GOP decided we didn't need those "archaic" rules on banks and moved to repeal those regulations. That lead to the banking crisis and $750B bailout of the banks in 2008. The Democrats tend to favor legislation that helps the people but in the end, both parties have sold out to special interests and rarely do you see any of them voting in the interest of the people. That is why Congress has had an approval rating below 20% for years and always lower than the President, no matter how badly he is doing. I believe that the US Treasury is holding some dinars. The delays, IMHO, are due to Congress and the Pres negotiating how to steal the major portion of that without the public knowing about it. For the person who said that the Fed is holding dinars, FYI, the Fed Reserve is no more a part of our govt than Federal Express. I doubt they need to hold dinars because they can print as much money as they want. Why our govt gave away the right to print money to a private bank is a whole other story and a rabbit hole you don't want to go down. Hope that helps

The only reason we knew that Saddam had WMD's is because we GAVE him WMD's when he was our "best bud" in the Middle East while he was fighting a war with Iran. That was the WMD's they were talking about, not nukes. There are even pictures of Rumsfelf back in the 1980's over in Iraq shaking hands with Saddam, our CIA was giving him intel on the Iranians. What most people don't know is that Saddam was urging all the other Middle East oil countries to STOP taking US $$ as payment for oil. There is even a whistleblower now, who says that at the time, she was negotiating with Iraq, they were promising to pay us gold, buy 1M American cars a year, etc, all to prevent a war. What would that have done for our auto firms. But guess who decided we needed to go to war instead? Don't believe the BS you are fed about the reasons for going to war. A lot more was going on than we are ever allowed to know. Here is the link to that youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EavsvUn7QT8&feature=share

If that scenario does come true, I feel its a recipe for another disaster. If they DO lift the sanctions against Iraq having WMD's, who would sell them the WMD's? The USA? That would make us look like the biggest idiots on the block since we started a war with Iraq based on them having WMD's. How could we explain the loss of life and the more than $2T the US has wasted in the war with Iraq just to sell them WMD's 9 years later. If I were the family of a vet killed in Iraq, I would really be pissed. Believe me, if the Iraqi's wanted to buy WMD's, be sure the US would want a piece of that. We ARE the largest Arms Dealers on the planet. Perhaps the only positive scenario I could see is that the Iraqi's could offer to buy all the US tanks, artillery and stuff we have in country and then hire US soldiers, as mercenaries, to fight off the Iranians if they are planning on invading. Of course, I DID see a Faux news clip with O'Reilly where another commentator (John Stoussel) explained to him what Keynesian economics meant, how Ron Paul was right about everything and how Iran has NOT invaded another country for 250 years. O'Reilly is such a maroon, as he showed that he did not even know how to pronounce Keynesian and did not know when this famous economist lived. I guess he doesn't know or care to use wikipedia.

What I notice about the recaps site is that no one ELSE is allowed to make comments to the blog, only a select few. It would be interesting to do a search thru the past year and see how many times the phrase, "we are close" shows up. That seems to have been the catch phrase every Friday for the past 3 months I have been watching it. The second most popular phrase seems to be "99.?% certain it will happen in the next 2 days."

First of all, those who believe that the IRS is part of the government have NOT done any research into it. The IRS is a private corporation chartered in Puerto Rico and there is NO law that requires you to pay. Unfortunately, most people assume that it IS part of the govt and we HAVE to pay. Do some research. At one time, the 1040 forms stated that paying taxes was "voluntary." And in terms of contracts, as all of commerce in America is, who remembers signing a contract with the IRS to pay taxes to them? A contract with two live signatures on it? No one does cause it never happened. So how can you feel obligated to pay taxes to a private entity you NEVER signed an agreement with. Don't use that argument that the first time you filed, you agreed to the terms. There is no such thing as a valid contract unless ALL the terms were spelled out to you at signing and both parties signed.
