…avoid the hazing that was taught along with the Constitution.

i’m just looking for a serious correction in a long term bull market. a normal 50% correction of the entire move in the grains off their lows would be a serious straight down move. typically, the longs give back much of their profit no matter what the move is. the shorts always leave too much on the table.

wheat is looking better every day here. fields just now drying out. i look for a lot of cancellations of orders because of the price of all grains. when the shorts all get out, the grains could correct into spring or early summer. if the wheat harvest is a little short, we will run hard again. the fertilizer problem may cause a mediocre crop just by itself excluding any weather problems. nasa is saying another sunspot cycle is cranking up. i have no idea what that means to grains but some people swear that sunspots affect grain production. think maybe a little municipal sludge treatmen would help?<G>

“Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation…but can’t, [won’t] support the drastic reforms to stop it [repeal of the Federal Reserve Act] because it could cost him his job.”

“This Act (the Federal Reserve Act, Dec. 23rd 1913) establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President (Woodrow Wilson) signs the Bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalised… The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency Bill.”

—Charles Lindbergh Sr.

“It’s taken almost two centuries for bankers to pull the wool over Americans’ eyes, but today you and I are working for intrinsically worthless paper that can be created by bureaucrats — created without sweat, without creative ability, without work, without anything but a decision by the Federal Reserve. This is the disease at the base of today’s monetary system. And like a cancer, it will spread until the system ultimately falls apart. This is the tragedy of the great lie. The great lie is that fiat paper represents a store of value, money of lasting wealth.”

—Richard Russell

“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. … This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.”

With all of that moving you may have missed it as it might have been taught in different grades at different schools or even states 

Example of teaching the Constitution at the local school in, I believe the 7th grade.  Teacher of the Constitution constantly hazed a student who was amiss in getting homework done by speaking down to him about himself and his family as his father drove a truck picking up trash.   “Are you going to be a trash collector, too, when you drop out of school?”  Real story was that child had brother with terminal cancer so the family was in dire straights.  Mother at hospital all hours with father working double shifts to try to make ends meet.  Child in class trying to care for 3 other younger siblings in the absence of parents……….not easy in this screwed up world at 12 years-old.

On one day my eldest daughter was sick of this teacher hazing this poor boy, knowing his situtation so she raise her hand (remember, Constitution class) and said, “You know, how can you talk to him that way, you know, he has rights, too.”

Teacher’s response……..”As far as I am concerned, ,you have NO RIGHTS from the time you walk through that door.”  So, why would any child in that room truly believe the Constitution is anything but a piece of paper.  BTW, the same teacher was  from a different minority, but many times used the “N word” to black students.

When I brought these things up with the Superintendent of schools his comment was, “It doesn’t surprise me.”

but enormous economic power, with tax havens, and control over much of the political process. dark pools in the cayman, off the coast of england..isle of man etc..

controlled by the queen..and intermediaries

Package-dealing employs] the shabby old gimmick of equating opposites by substituting nonessentials for their essential characteristics, obliterating differences.

Sorry for buttin in, but feel I must……got something to say……Are you insinuating that Iran has the same kind of guv that the USof A has? I am no constitucional expert (can’t spell either) but I can assure you that there is no comparison between the two.

The way that our guv was set up by the founding fathers is nothing short of brilliant.

Example: The three seats of guv. Execuitive, Judicial, Congressional……power distributed amoungst them. In Iran, the president also controls the military, hence has the power to subdue dissidents. In the USA, the military is under the direction of the Execuitive (president) but can’t be deployed without the consent of congress. At least that is how it was set up. Every war the US has been in since WW2 has been unconstitutional. The congress has not declared war, yet the President through other means has been able to exicute these wars at the expence of freedom and liberty of the citizens. IMO, we should be in the middle of a constitutional crises in this country. Too much power has shifted to the Execitive brance and Congress has set on their a$$s and done nothing.

It’s not our form of guv that is bad, its not following the law of the land that has put this country in the predicument it is in.

The polititions have basterdized out constitution for a hundred years……..that is the problem.

Believe it or not I never had any study of the constitution or on the structure of the government that I can remember from the time I was in kindergarten in DC to first second and third grade in portland maine, 4th and 5th Staten island NY 6th grade in NYC, 7th&8th in Norfolk Va high school in Connecticut 1976… It wernt taught in my schools!

“”"”"”Chairman’s comment; Our Founding Fathers chose a Republic over a Democracy for many reasons; primarily because they remembered the most infamous “democratic” vote in all history. [i.e.] The lesson of a bureaucrat some 2000 years ago who turned to a crowd and asked which prisoner should be released – the crowd yelled - “give us Barabbas”. The ‘will of the people’ spoke that day. When the bureaucrat asked the people what should be done with this innocent, this Jesus, the crowd responded with a loud – CRUCIFY HIM.

Jesus was crucified by a majority vote exercising pure democracy which was the emotional, changing rule of the mob or as we call it today mobocracy. This is the reason our Founding Fathers wanted a Republic, a government based on the rule of law which could not be changed by the whims of the people.

Samuel Huntington, signer and Governor of Connecticut - “While the great body of freeholders are acquainted with the duties which they owe to their God, to themselves, and to men, they will remain free. But if ignorance and depravity should prevail they will inevitably lead to slavery and ruin.” “”"”"”"”
