Texas Launches Gold-backed Bank, Challenging Federal Reserve
Source: TheNewAmerican.com
--"Today I signed HB 483 to provide a secure facility for the State of Texas, state agencies and Texas citizens to store gold bullion and other precious metals," said a statement issued by Governor Abbott, a popular conservative governor, after the ceremonial signing. "With the passage of this bill, the Texas Bullion Depository will become the first state-level facility of its kind in the nation, increasing the security and stability of our gold reserves and keeping taxpayer funds from leaving Texas to pay for fees to store gold in facilities outside our state." The law protects the assets from seizure by the feds or other forces, too.
There will be many other benefits as well, according to supporters. While other states have in recent years passed legislation declaring gold and silver to be legal tender, analysts say Texas' new depository could help supercharge the growing movement for an honest and sensible monetary system founded on real money rather than debt-based paper notes conjured into existence by a private banking cartel. Indeed, one of the chief aims of gold-and-silver-as-currency proponents is to restore sound money — and the Texas law could help pave the way.

Matt Taibbi & JPMorgan Chase Whistleblower (Video)

Paraphrase:
"One of the 'myths' of this whole subprime mortgage crisis is that the whole thing was a big accident; they used the term 'a thousand-year flood,' to describe what happened in 2008. The reality is that these were willful, intentional crimes...they absolutely knew exactly what they were doing.
It sounds complicated, but what they were really doing is they were selling a defective product to retirees, to pensioners, to ordinary working people, to foreign hedge funds and things like that...essentially mass theft; they were selling snake oil."

Torture, Impunity and the American Psychological Association
Source: TruthDig.com
--This month, the APA released a stunning independent report that confirms what whistleblowers and dissident psychologists have maintained for close to a decade, that the APA actively colluded with the U.S. Department of Defense and the CIA, manipulating the APA's policies, meetings and members in order to get the APA's endorsement of the Pentagon's torture program. The association's board of directors last year commissioned an independent review by former Assistant U.S. Attorney David Hoffman. The 542-page report, dubbed "The Hoffman Report," undermines the APA's repeated denials that some of its 130,000 members were complicit in torture.

Greece Votes NO – Let The Chaos Begin…
Source: TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com
--Personally, I love the fact that the Greek people decided not to buckle under the pressure being imposed on them by the EU and the IMF. But amidst all of the celebration, the cold, hard reality of the matter is that your options are extremely limited when you are out of money.
How is the Greek government going to pay its bills without any money?
How are the insolvent Greek banks going to operate without any money?
How is the Greek economy going to function without any money?

COMMENT: "By weakening us financially, those who control our monetary system are incrementally increasing their leverage. A wealthy, proud, and independent nation would never willingly surrender its sovereignty and ability to choose its own destiny. An economically devastated nation, chaotic and struggling to maintain social order, is another story altogether. Such a nation would be far more willing to accept help from a global body like the United Nations or IMF/ World Bank, regardless of the strings attached. And THAT is the ultimate "profit" being sought in this game. The real prize is control.
In nation after nation, these "economic warriors" make use of politicians who are willing to bury their citizens in debt. Out of that crushing debt, and the subsequent need for an endless supply of new loans, they slowly gain control." - Dishonest Money: Financing the Road to Ruin
