			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that the <a href="http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2012/12/19/the-section-preventing-indefinite-detention-of-americans-without-trial-removed-from-final-ndaa-bill/" target="_blank">NDAA signed by the president last year has been stripped of the essential clauses protecting American citizens of their Constitutional rights</a>, just how easy would it be for <em>them</em> to get away with<strong> another </strong>9-11 event and seal the coffin lid shut on American freedom for good?  Before you dismiss the question outright, consider the following video carefully:</p>
<p><center><object width="560" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZEvA8BCoBw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="560" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hZEvA8BCoBw?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="opaque" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></center>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ever since that fateful day, in the name of <strong>national security</strong>, the Constitutional rights of all Americans have been under attack, via such things as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Act" target="_blank">Patriot Act</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13603" target="_blank">totalitarian executive orders</a>, the continuing encroachment of <a href="http://www.brotherjohnf.com/?s=homeland+security&amp;submit.x=0&amp;submit.y=0" target="_blank">Homeland Security initiatives</a> and the <a href="http://lewrockwell.com/paul/paul837.html" target="_blank">inclusion into the NDAA of indefinite detention of American citizens without trial.</a></p>
<p>Now ask yourself this question: If there <em>is</em> an elite group (such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati" target="_blank">the Illuminati</a>) holding key positions of power within  government, corporate and banking institutions, and they are indeed conspiring to subjugate America, <strong>what would be their next step?</strong></p>
<p>If those bastards are so powerful that they were able to pull off the 9-11 event and keep their positions intact, then you also must consider what else they might be capable of doing.  Like, <strong>what would happen to the national psyche if a major US city, like Phoenix, for example, were to be suddenly vaporized in a Nagasaki-esque manner? </strong>(This is what S.K. Bain has fictionalized in <a href="http://themostdangerousbookintheworld.com/" target="_blank">his book</a>.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://davidtatera.com/assets/images/mushroom_cloud.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="100%" /></p>
<p>Absolute fear would grip the nation immediately. Martial Law would be declared. The new authorities already granted to the president under his own <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-03-22/pdf/2012-7019.pdf" target="_blank">executive order</a> would be cited and all resources would be seized by the government. Dissenters would be shipped off to all the <a href="http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=1062" target="_blank">FEMA concentration camps that have been prepared over the last few years</a>. The internet would be <em>cleansed</em> of all  &#8216;unpatriotic bloggers&#8217; while the &#8216;controlled&#8217; main-stream-media tells the public that the Iranians are to blame. Religious leaders are quick to point out that Muslims are not only anti-Jew, but anti-Christian as well. It would be enough impetus to garner support for invading yet another middle eastern nation, and possibly lead to World War III if China and Russia run to the aid of Iran.</p>
<p>So the next question you&#8217;ve got to ask yourself is <strong>when would this elite group initiate their next move?  </strong>As the world economy spins toward ultimate depression, printing presses are already running at full tilt and there&#8217;s no real political will to tackle the underlying problems of the <a href="http://ounceofsilver.info/home/too-much-debt/">Fiscal Cliff</a> &#8211; only moves to delay the inevitable collapse are given any attention.  Meanwhile, the national debt surges due to <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-01/cbo-estimates-obama-tax-cuts-add-4-trillion-deficit-over-next-decade" target="_blank">continued unbalanced government spending</a>.   At some point, all these monetary shenanigans will become too obvious to the average citizen and a <strong>diversion</strong> will be needed to distract public focus.</p>
<p>Of course, they&#8217;ve not yet taken the guns away from the American public.  But the <a href="http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/11983-soros-promotes-un-control-over-gun-ownership" target="_blank">Second Amendment is indeed being threatened</a>.  And history shows multiple examples where <a href="http://ounceofsilver.info/2013/01/07/whats-their-agenda/">the confiscation of weapons is a precursor to genocide and despotism</a>.</p>
<p>A final question to ponder is whether or not the agenda requires the Constitutional Second Amendment to be abolished prior to the more drastic event, or whether a more severe tragedy might actually aid in it&#8217;s own destruction?  As long as people continue their ignorance of freedom and refuse to accept responsibility for their own lives, they&#8217;ll happily increase their dependency on government wealth redistribution.  Lady Liberty&#8217;s lamp flickers in the wind.</p>
<p><strong>Footnotes:</strong> For those that may scoff at the possibility of the existence of an elite group like the Illuminati, <a href="http://divinecosmos.com/Illuminati_Defector_Svali_Speaks.mp3" target="_blank">this radio interview with an ex-Illuminati member</a> is quite an eye-opener (pun intended).  And a closer look at this country&#8217;s history reveals that <a href="http://www.gospeltruth.net/1869Freemasonry/freem_chap2.htm" target="_blank">Freemasons had successfully infiltrated civil offices and media control within early American society</a>. After the scandal regarding the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Morgan_%28anti-Mason%29" target="_blank">murder of William Morgan</a>, many left the fraternity or went underground. A few words showing a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/New-World-Order-Ancient-Societies/dp/0910311641/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1357025801&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=New+World+Order%3A+The+Ancient+Plan+of+Secret+Societies" target="_blank">hierarchical relationship between the Illuminati &amp; Freemasonry</a> might prove interesting.  A paragraph or two could also be included regarding <a href="http://themostdangerousbookintheworld.com/" target="_blank">the occult-rituals said to be practiced by the Illuminati</a> to gain further insight regarding their motives in addition to significant dates and numbers held sacred by these elites. Perhaps some comments could be made on the recent Sandy Hook tragedy along with <a href="http://sgtreport.com/2012/12/so-many-questions-too-few-answers-was-the-sandy-hook-massacre-an-organzied-false-flag-operation/" target="_blank">suspicious circumstances</a> surrounding <em>that</em> event. But we&#8217;ve probably gone far enough down the rabbit hole already for most silver investors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why is it impossible to prosecute Wall Street executives for the financial collapse?  Could it be, as the <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/business-economy-financial-crisis/untouchables/transcript-37/" target="_blank">transcript</a> of the interview with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanny_A._Breuer" target="_blank">Lanny Breuer</a> hints, that the legal system has completely been taken over by a philosophy that weighs &#8216;justice&#8217; against the potential harm to certain institutions or individuals within society? One hopes not, because the judicial system is supposed to be about enforcing (blindly) existing laws. <strong> One would also hope the legislative branch is thinking about the laws they create and whether they would have adverse affects on such prominent facets of society BEFORE they vote them into law.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conspiracy theories are only theories until they become conspiracy facts.  The straws are blowing in the wind as this main-stream CNBC panel discusses the reasoning behind <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2013/01/16/germany-repatriating-gold-from-ny-paris-in-case-of-a-currency-crisis/" target="_blank">Germany&#8217;s gold repatriation</a>. The Bundesbank (Central Bank of Germany) recently stated they have plans to move their gold held at other central banks back to the Father Land.  This includes moving 374 tonnes from France&#8217;s Banque de France &amp; 300 tonnes from the New York Federal Reserve Bank.  Could it be that, as <a href="http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2013/01/15/pimcos-gross-ponders-if-bundesbank-gold-move-means-central-banks-dont-trust-each-other/" target="_blank">Pimco&#8217;s Bill Gross opined</a>, that the central banks of the west are starting to lose faith in one another?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many years, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (<a href="http://www.gata.org/" target="_blank">GATA</a>) has been gathering official government documents that indicate the US gold reserves are insufficient and cannot cover the paper obligations assigned to them.  Through leasing and swap agreements with other nations, the details of which are hidden from the public, the nation&#8217;s gold could be in jeopardy and at the very least, over-reported. Some people have even openly speculated that <a href="http://ounceofsilver.info/home/does-fort-knox-still-have-our-gold/" target="_blank">the Fort Knox facility contains mostly empty space</a>.</p>
<p>There is now a movement to have the gold reserves audited.  As the description in the petition notes, <strong>the reserves have not been audited since 1953! </strong> Prior to that, there were semi-regular audits. In the last 60 years, there has been too much turmoil to simply assume normality in this matter. A prudent and measured action is necessary.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazingly easy to create a White House account and sign the petition &#8211; all you need is a valid email address and zip code.  If the petition gets at least 25,000 signatures, the White House must take action to take the issue to the next step for further study.   <strong><a href="https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/perform-assayed-public-audit-all-treasurys-claimed-8100-tons-gold-and-net-swaps-loans-sales/rGyFTLwD" target="_blank">Read and sign the petition today</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jim Grant on CNBC today discussing:</p>
<ul>
<li>The &#8216;bad idea&#8217; to attempt to resolve the national debt problem by <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/01/a-platinum-coin-as-big-as-the-ritz.html" target="_blank">minting a trillion-dollar platinum coin</a>. Supporters say the US Treasury would be able to deposit said coin with the Federal Reserve to act as an asset, backing part of the outstanding debt.
<ul>
<li>As Jim notes, this is not an honest approach to discussing the root problem &#8211; which is based in the monetary system, itself.</li>
<li>Besides that, the idea is preposterous and just shows how crazy this system has become.  Things don&#8217;t hold value because someone says they have value.  A thing has value based on the public/market demand for that thing.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Prior to 1971, government spending was constrained by both interest rates and the fact that there was some semblance of a gold-backed currency via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Monetary_and_Financial_Conference" target="_blank">Bretton Woods</a>.  But today, we have neither constraint &#8211; the Fed&#8217;s zero percent interest rate policy combined with the current, purely fiat monetary system has created the unstoppable spending spree that has led us to these extreme levels of debt.  If there is anything left at all as a bar against further spending, it is the debt ceiling.  But even that is now being threatened with a proposal to <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveschaefer/2011/07/18/moodys-forget-raising-the-u-s-debt-ceiling-think-about-killing-it/" target="_blank">remove it entirely</a>.</li>
<li>The just announced appointment of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Lew" target="_blank">Jacob Lew</a> as Treasury Secretary.  Jim is holding judgement in order to see if there will be any honest discussion regarding the real problems of the monetary system.</li>
</ul>

<p style="text-align: left;">After all is said and done, this is basically what&#8217;s been happening in Europe, where countries like Spain, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Cyprus depend on each other and the stronger members of the European Union to keep buying their bonds, burying them ever deeper in debt (to each other).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But it&#8217;s not limited to just Europe, of course. The US is in just as bad of shape as far as debt is concerned.  In all western nations, as the cartoon above adequately portrays, there seems to be a symbiotic relationship between the banks and the countries in debt.  The banks enable the governments to keep borrowing just to be able to buy more debt from other countries&#8217; governments, which are doing the exact same thing.  The whole sovereign bond market is one giant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Ponzi" target="_blank">Ponzi scheme</a>, just waiting to capsize.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Obama may, or may not have honestly <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPMopO8h1OI" target="_blank">shed tears over the victims of Sandy Hook</a>, while at the same time maintaining status quo over <a href="http://rt.com/news/pakistan-civilian-victims-drones-695/" target="_blank">innocents being killed by US military drones</a> in foreign lands. Is it just hypocrisy?  Or could there be a hidden motive?</p>
<p>Statistically, guns aren&#8217;t the culprit.  If their true motive was to prevent senseless killings, <strong>why not ban tobacco?<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://shtfplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/10-big-killers.jpg" alt="" width="601" height="330" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Furthermore, it&#8217;s not the guns, it&#8217;s the people using them (and perhaps the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/01/the-giant-gaping-hole-in-sandy-hook-reporting/" target="_blank"><strong>drug-induced, psychotic nature of some of the more serious perpetrators</strong></a>) that should be the focus.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Are we seeing the first steps of an agenda the world has already experienced  many times throughout history?  The following documentary reveals the horrific details of numerous genocides that followed weapons confiscations by governments in power around the globe.</p>
