TSA Allows Illegal Alien Flight Training

While the TSA gropes passengers at the security theater checkpoints, the TSA allows illegal immigrants to attend flight school.  One illegal immigrant even ran a flight school in the Boston area.  This was discovered not by federal enforcement officials, but by the local police.

While the Transportation Security Administration is a visible example of failure at the federal level, other federal attempts to do the job of the States are in our recent memory.  Remember the FEMA failures at flood response?

Alternative Currencies

People and entire communities are tired of the fraud by central bank manipulation of currencies, and are taking matters into their own hands.  The May 31 issue of the Wall Street Journal displays a picture of local currency started in a town Ireland.

Confused Thinking

In the trend of drivel that passes for journalism, Jean Houston demonstrates lack of critical thinking and general confusion.  "The renaissance of spirit" is a new-age fluff article in the July 2012 issue of Ode magazine.

As an example of the meaningless words in Jean Houston's article, consider a sentence on the second page.  "With the entire spectrum of historical social development at hand and with the present fractal move toward planetization, I discover that the world is set for a whole-system transformation."

Federal Reserve Self-Dealing

Self-dealing and conflict of interest are rampant in the Federal Reserve.  A full and complete audit of the Fed's activities is needed.  Why did the Fed provide funds to the state Bank of China?

The Federal Reserve operates in the shadows of the economy, pulling the strings of the entire economy.  Audit the Fed, then allow for competition in currencies.

‘Audit the Fed’ bill advances in House

Last year, a more limited audit by GAO found the Fed repeatedly invoked emergency authority to expand its lending during the Wall Street crisis in 2008 and 2009, including major loans to prop up the housing market.
The audit also found that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which had a major role in the lending, did not have sufficient controls to prevent conflicts of interest for its employees.
