Hollywood and Broadway Actress Christine Ebersole surprises (and impresses) a lot of people with the following entry to her blog, Dining with the Oligarchy. I wanted to make sure that you get the chance to read it, so here it is in its entirety. Be sure to also go read the many excellent follow-up comments left at her blog in response.
The following interview with former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, is from September 26th, 2006. Interestingly enough it was done while he was on tour supporting the Texas Gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman during a stop in San Antonio, Texas.
Jesse questions the “official” 9/11 Story in an interview with Alex Jones.
When corporate greed goes too far (hat-tip: Glugzy):
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The distillers of Sweden’s Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.
The billboard ad has the slogan “In an Absolut World” slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year.
You think you are free but you are not. You believe you live in a Democratic Republic, but you do not. You believe that money is backed by gold, but it is not. You think that your rights are protected but they are not. You believe that your government works for you, but it does not. You believe that your government is in control, but it is not. You believe that all Americans are equal, but we are not. You believe that the Economy can be fixed the way it exists, but it cannot. You would like to believe that your children have a bright future — but they do not.
On this just passed Easter holiday, I was confronted by an obstinate, yet well-meaning friend that asked me where all the money would come from to run the U.S.A. if we abolished the Federal Income Tax. I looked at her and told her: “From the billions of dollars in taxes that come from Corporations, but first we have to get rid of the Federal Reserve.” But, of course, I left out the part about the hundred or more taxes that are collected across the United States every single minute of every hour on products ranging from cigarettes to the cell phone you use. We are easily the most taxed citizens in the history of the United States, and yet we are told we are in constant and growing debt. How can this be when we are also the hardest working people in the world?
Patrick J. Buchanan has got it all right in the following article from HUMAN EVENTS. I deem it worthy of cross-posting here in its entirety:
How would he pull it off? I wondered.
How would Barack explain to his press groupies why he sat silent in a pew for 20 years as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered racist rants against white America for our maligning of Fidel and Gadhafi, and inventing AIDS to infect and kill black people?
By now the entire world has witnessed to some extent the speech given yesterday by Barack Obama. I personally have only bothered to listen to bits and pieces of it, because I already knew that more discussion on the subject of “race in America” was just what it has been for too many years now: a diversionary tactic.
Hide your guns, folks. It may not be much longer before the Federal Government comes to take them away. I wish I was kidding, but just the idea that the Second Amendment is even being debated in the Supreme Court today leaves me with my jaw on the floor — not because the gun rights of D.C. citizens shouldn’t be discussed, but by what many media and citizens groups and some judges and lawyers are actually being heard to state openly. Questioning the right of the People to self-defense through the possession of arms? Many people are trying to argue that individual citizens are not guaranteed the right to bear arms by the Second Amendment and this is why the gun ban in the District of Columbia should be upheld!
It’s St. Patty’s Day again already. Where does the time go?
I’m going to kick back and relax today, because I’m actually half-Irish and, well, I need a break from the depressing garbage I’ve been wading through month in and month out. I bet you all do, too. In that Irish Spirit I’m going to present you with something I Googled up and was quite entertained by. I don’t know if Jimmy Hook is for real or just a good story-teller; I haven’t bothered to watch any of his other episodes to find out. What I do know is that this video is worth watching and, in a bizarre and spooky way, it points towards the “root of all evil” that seems to be coming to the forefront of everything that I study of late. You know what that evil is, don’t you?
Even if you are a regular reader here, you may not have noticed that I have slightly altered the welcoming message at the top of the main page to the Anvil this morning. It has been changed as follows, the following lines being added:
“If you are not prepared to discuss all enemies of the United States Constitution and the Republic, turn back now. If you are ready to give up Western idealism and Europe itself, turn back now.”
You didn’t know that the Federal Income tax is against the Constitution; that your wages are not to be directly taxed in an unapportioned manner? Me either — until very recently. Like all of you, I was born into the system and just assumed that this is how things were always meant to be. This has to make you wonder what other vile secrets have been manifested into a semblance of truth by our elected “representatives” (i.e. Islam is a religion of peace) and what else we are simply not being told at all.
