Ron Paul says the USA is now “collapsing the dollar.” Ben Bernanke is “pumping up” the credit markets by simply printing more money. This is not a way to run a country. According to Ron Paul, “The USA is burning through 1 Trillion Dollars a year by maintaining over 800 Military Basis around the world. Socialism will not solve this financial crisis at all”.
Is Ron Paul right? The answer: Yes he is. Why? Yesterday the US Government through Henry Paulson announced that 250 Billion Dollars was being “pumped” into the US credit markets. (Remember: The US Federal Reserve which is a private bank not part of the US Government is now bailing out Foreign Banks).
You are watching the take over and collapse of the U.S. Dollar and America as we know it by the “Global Elite.” A sad day for this American. Want more? Read this:
Liquidating the Empire by Patrick J. Buchanan
Infowars, October 14, 2008
Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers.
So Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon advised Herbert Hoover in the Great Crash of 29. Hoover did. And the nation liquidated him — and the Republicans. In the Crash of 2008, 40 percent of stock value has vanished, almost $9 trillion. Some $5 trillion in real estate value has disappeared. A recession looms with sweeping layoffs, unemployment compensation surging, and social welfare benefits soaring.
Americas first trillion-dollar deficit is at hand.
In Fiscal Year 2008 the deficit was $438 billion.
With tax revenue sinking, we will add to this years deficit the $200 to $300 billion needed to wipe the rotten paper off the books of Fannie and Freddie, the $700 billion (plus the $100 billion in add-ons and pork) for the Wall Street bailout, the $85 billion to bail out AIG, and $37 billion more now needed, the $25 billion for GM, Chrysler and Ford, and the hundreds of billions Hank Paulson will need to buy corporate paper and bail out banks to stop the panic.
As Americans save nothing, where are the feds going to get the money? Is the Fed going to print it and destroy the dollar and credit rating of the United States? Because the nations whose vaults are full of dollars and U.S. debt — China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Arabs — are reluctant to lend us more. Sovereign wealth funds that plunged billions into U.S. banks have already been burned.
Uncle Sams VISA card is about to be stamped Canceled.
The budget is going to have to go under the knife. But what gets cut?
Social Security and Medicare are surely exempt. Seniors have already taken a huge hit in their 401(k)s. And as the Democrats are crafting another $150 billion stimulus package for the working poor and middle class, Medicaid and food stamps are untouchable. Interest on the debt cannot be cut. It is going up. Will a Democratic Congress slash unemployment benefits, welfare, education, student loans, veterans benefits — in a recession?
No way. Yet, that is almost the entire U.S. budget — except for defense, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and foreign aid. And this is where the axe will eventually fall.
It is the American Empire that is going to be liquidated.
Retrenchment has begun with Bushs backing away from confrontations with Axis-of-Evil charter members Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs, and will likely continue with a negotiated peace in Afghanistan. Gen. Petraeus and Secretary Gates are already talking reconciliation with the Taliban.
We no longer live in Eisenhower or Reagans America. Even the post-Cold War world of George H. W. Bush, where America was a global hegemon, is history. In both relative and real terms, the U.S.A. is a diminished power.
U.S. interests in Latin America are being challenged not only by Cuba, but Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Honduras. Brazil, Argentina and Chile go their own way. Russia is reasserting hegemony in the Caucasus, testing new ICBMs, running bomber probes up to U.S. air space. China, growing at 10 percent as we head into recession, is bristling over U.S. military sales to Taiwan. Iran remains defiant. Pakistan is rife with anti-Americanism and al-Qaida sentiment.
The American Empire has become a vast extravagance.
With U.S. markets crashing and wealth vanishing, what are we doing with 750 bases and troops in over 100 countries?
Is it essential to keep 30,000 troops in a South Korea with twice the population and 40 times the wealth of the North? Why are McCain and Obama offering NATO memberships, i.e., war guarantees against Russia, to a Georgia run by a hothead like Mikheil Saakashvili, and a Ukraine, millions of whose people prefer their kinship to Russia to an alliance with us?
We must put country first, says John McCain.
Right you are, Senator. Time to look out for America first.

A lot of people probably can’t understand why someone would voluntarily give up American citizenship — but if someone wanted to do that, they’d now incur financial penalties for it.
Between the multibillion dollar bank bail-outs, the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac federal take-over and this new surprise we now are funding most private banks, the entire auto industry, paying defaulted student loans, defaulted mortgages 2 or 3 wars and oh yeah, the billion dollars we are giving away to Georgia for the war they started with Russia.
When you do anything like this to a home you get a tax credit and a rebate from the utility companies and a bit from the state and federal government. It usually funds 10% up to 70% depending on the scenario. All of the companies that sell and install these systems also give very low interest credit so you pay them instead of utility bills. The money you save in utilities after the first few years more than pays for the entire system.
