Dear Fellow Conservative,

President Obama didn’t attend the 20th Anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall last November (he had another “date night” with Michelle, I believe). But if he had attended, I think I know what he would have said.

Turning to former Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev (who actually did attend), Obama would have declared, “Mr. Gorbachev, rebuild this wall!”

Indeed, I sometimes suspect that Obama’s sole approach to any policy problem is to ask himself “What Would Reagan Do?” and then do the opposite — while expecting the same results. So, for instance, Obama thinks that by raising taxes, increasing spending, and weakening the dollar he can restore prosperity just as effectively as Reagan did by cutting taxes, slashing spending, and strengthening the dollar.

Well, he’ll find out soon enough that he can’t. But in the meantime, what about you and me? How can we protect ourselves financially as Obama takes his wrecking ball to the entire U.S. economy?

To begin with, we have to face reality: In an age of soaring taxes, near-zero interest on savings, and the looming threat of hyperinflation, we can no longer afford to be passive with our money. We must take active measures to grow our portfolios through profitable investments and to protect it from the IRS.

That sounds difficult, I know. But it doesn’t have to be — if you get the right kind of financial advice from someone you can really trust. And if you don’t happen to know someone like that — well, fortunately I do.

His name is Mark Skousen — the brilliant free-market economist (with a Ph.D. and 26 books to prove it) whose award-winning investment newsletter, Forecasts & Strategies, has been steering subscribers to steady double-digit annual profits for nearly 30 years, through booms and busts and everything in-between.

In fact, Dr. Skousen is virtually alone among today’s investment advisors in having predicted — two years before, with the words “We clearly are headed for fiscal disaster” — the bursting of the credit bubble in 2008 (unlike the Wall Street whiz-kids who were too busy playing in their subprime-mortgage bubble-bath).

Not only that, but Mark Skousen’s record clearly shows he was equally ahead of the curve in having predicted — and shown his subscribers how to profit from — nearly every major other market trend of the past three decades, including:
The Dow’s 2009 rebound to 10,000 — which he predicted in March — when the Dow was below 7,000
The credit collapse of 2008
The tax-cut-fueled recovery of the middle Bush years
The tech-stock meltdown of 2000
The quadrupling of the NASDAQ in the ‘90s
The market crash of October 1987
The Reaganomics-fueled boom of the early and middle ‘80s
How does he do it? Dr. Skousen, you see, is that rare sort of investment advisor who can not only size up a particular company or stock on its own individual merits, but who can also see it in the context of broader economic and even geo-political trends (skills he honed as a CIA economist earlier in his career).

Nowadays, with our out-of-control federal government making and breaking companies — even entire industries — with a wave of its legislative and regulatory wands, you simply can’t risk being an investor without the kind of big-picture analysis that Mark Skousen brings to each one of his individual investment picks.

And that’s just the beginning of what Mark Skousen does for you in Forecasts & Strategies. Suffice it to say that you’ll find here all the tools, all the analysis, and all the advice you need to turn even a modest investment into a substantial fortune. The kind of fortune that can protect you from economic downturns like today’s, and assure you a prosperous, worry-free retirement.

But don’t take my word for it. Right now, you can get a full year of Mark Skousen’s Forecasts & Strategies for less than the average monthly cable bill — completely risk-free. Why not give it a try? I’m confident you’ll thank me later.

The purpose for the Republican party is to rally white men to the polls to vote to keep the country firmly in their hands. The purpose for the likes of the Beck’s, Coulter’s, Hannity’s and the like is get them to invest in the schemes, books and investments they are pushing.

Here is an example.

How to Survive the Collapse
of Civilization!

What if the unthinkable happened? Could your family survive, even for a few weeks, without electricity… hospitals… water pumped in from miles away… and food trucked in from out of state?
If terrorists succeed in attacking the U.S. power grid with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, they could throw America into the dark ages in a split second.

A new generation of drug-resistant “superbugs” could result in global epidemics that kill up to 100 million people.

And as Hurricane Katrina proved, the Federal Government’s ability to help during a national emergency is severely limited.
Find out what you can do to prepare to survive a terrorist strike… global epidemic… social unrest… or other serious disaster…

Dear Fellow American,

If there is one thing that gives America’s security planners nightmares, it’s the country’s power grid.

That’s because without electricity, virtually everything Americans depend upon for survival—food, water, heat, transportation and communications—would be threatened on a massive scale.

Yet experts warn that a single, split-second Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) from a nuclear weapon or EMP-producing device would effectively “fry” the nation’s delicate power grid and virtually all non-shielded electronic equipment within hundreds of miles.

The Implications are Horrific:

Without a large-scale invasion or even a nuclear war, parts of America could be thrown into the dark ages in an instant.
No lights.

No telephones.

No Internet.

No radio or television.
Even most vehicles would not start because of the electronic fuel-injection systems in most cars and trucks.

And That’s Just For Starters!
The Entire Financial System Would Also Collapse.

ATM machines would not work.

Banks would be shuttered.

Grocery stores would soon be looted.

Police would be paralyzed and helpless.

“If even a crude nuclear weapon were detonated anywhere between 40 kilometers to 400 kilometers above the earth, in a split-second it would generate an electro-magnetic pulse [EMP] that would cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food and other infrastructure,” said a report from the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, a blue-ribbon panel established by Congress in 2001.

How to Survive a Nuclear
Attack or Accident

Seek shelter immediately. If you are in the vicinity of a nuclear detonation or the accidental release of radiation, seek shelter immediately. The majority of people killed at Hiroshima did not die from the thermal blast but from radioactive particles in fall-out.

Stay underground for 48 hours. The deeper underground you can go, the safer you will be. Try to find a basement or subterranean garage with a concrete roof. Radioactive energy dissipates to 1/100th of its initial strength within 48 hours so stay in your temporary shelter for a minimum of two full days, longer if possible.

Take potassium iodide tablets. The thyroid gland has an unusual capacity to absorb large amounts of radiation, which can be fatal; but potassium iodide tablets, such as RadBlock, saturate the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine so that it cannot absorb radiation. Take these tablets as soon as you learn of a nuclear incident.

Mass Starvation, Looting Possible

One U.S. colonel was even more blunt: An EMP burst would result, he says, in “mass starvation because food deliveries cease, urban deaths by dehydration as water systems fail, collapse of medical systems, breakdown of police functions, ineffectiveness of firefighters, loss of bank records, inability to move physically other than by foot, and a return of America to a “pre-industrial age state.”

Intelligence services fear that China and Korea (which already possess EMP capability) or Iran (which is actively pursuing it) could pass an EMP device to Al-Qaeda terrorists.

A primitive, medium-ranged rocket launched from an offshore freighter might be able to take an EMP device high enough to do the trick.

“In the opinion of many, it is not a matter of if we are attacked by EMP but when,” says Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu, a former special forces veteran and EMP expert. “America has a surfeit of capable enemies—communists, dictators and terrorists—and they form a deadly connection committed to our demise.”

That’s why I’ve pulled together the very latest survival information from top experts and compiled it into an all-new 21st Century Survival Guide that I’d like to send you. It’s title is How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization.

The Continuing Threat
of Dirty Bombs

Terrorism experts believe it’s very likely that Islamic terrorists will successfully detonate a so-called “dirty” bomb—a conventional bomb that scatters radiological material—sometime in the near future.

The reason is largely technological.

Unlike an actual nuclear weapon, which requires precise engineering and access to enriched plutonium in order to split an atom, a dirty bomb can be made with ordinary explosives and radioactive materials.

Unfortunately, there are thousands of sources of non-weapons-grade radiological material, such as those used for medicine and in universities, available.

Most experts believe a dirty bomb’s purpose is primarily psychological—that is, to terrify a population rather than to actually harm it. That’s because tests have shown that radiation from a dirty bomb would be limited to a few city blocks, at most, and more people would be harmed from the explosives than by the radiation.

Nevertheless, if you live in an area in which a dirty bomb is detonated, you should take precautions such as swallowing potassium iodide pills and staying indoors.

If you’re really worried about exposure to radiation, you can purchase an inexpensive credit-card-size radiation detector (called a dosimeter) that will let you know instantly the level of radiation in your immediate surroundings.

Learning to Survive “Off the Grid” Doesn’t Mean Roughing It

The good news is that it’s possible to survive without utility-provided electricity. Groups of independence-minded pioneers have been doing it, and quite comfortably, for years.

A number of companies sell “off-the-grid” products designed to provide all the modern conveniences without access to centrally provided power systems.

These include everything from old-fashioned wood stoves and oil lamps to state-of-the-art solar power systems and natural-gas-powered refrigerators and freezers.

Many of these products are surprisingly affordable—and offer people “back up” systems that don’t rely upon government-provided energy.

What to Do When Food & Water
are Expensive, Scarce or Unsafe!

In good times, most Americans don’t give a thought to the nation’s food distribution system: They simply assume that when they go to the grocery store they’ll find plenty of healthy, inexpensive and safe food.

But as the global depression worsens and the possibility of a catastrophic terrorist attack still looms, that’s a dangerous assumption to make.

The truth is, the U.S. food supply system is woefully unprepared for economic turmoil. The reliability and safety of U.S. food supplies are more threatened now than at any time in history.

Serious threats to the food supply come from the collapse of food inspection systems… the bankruptcy of U.S. agribusiness companies—and the breakdown of food distribution networks in the event of a massive terrorist attack or social unrest.

And it’s no longer merely survivalists who are stockpiling food, either.

Last year, The Wall Street Journal’s Brett Arends warned that “maybe it’s time for Americans to start stockpiling food.” He added, “No, this is not a drill.”

In your copy of How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization, you’ll learn practical steps you can take right now to protect your food and water in the event of economic collapse or terrorist attacks.

Create a
“Victory Garden”
To Lower Food Costs

Victory gardens, also called war gardens or food gardens for defense, were vegetable, fruit and herb gardens planted at private residences in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom during World War I and World War II to reduce the pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort. In 1943, Americans planted more than 20 million victory gardens.

Today, millions of Americans are starting small vegetable gardens as a way to ensure they have plenty of fresh, nutritious food in the event of a breakdown in food supply networks.

With a little planning, it’s possible to create a family garden that produces enough food to feed an entire family. One family of “urban homesteaders” in Pasadena, California, living on a one-tenth of an acre lot, grows more than 6,000 pounds of organic fruits and vegetables a year.

Could You Get By Without
Doctors and Hospitals?

If there was one thing that 2005′s Hurricane Katrina taught America, it’s the need for self-reliance in emergency situations—especially when it comes to medical care.

That’s because, virtually overnight, this one hurricane eliminated many of the emergency services the people of New Orleans counted on in a crisis. Suddenly, people were without ambulance services, hospitals, even a doctor or nurse.

Two days after the hurricane hit, the Federal government declared a Public Health Emergency in the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. Dozens of hospitals shut down. Thousands of incapacitated patients had to be evacuated.

The conditions in many medical facilities were horrific: No electricity… bodies stacked in stairwells… sweltering heat.

The citizens of New Orleans learned a hard lesson: In a wide-scale emergency, medical personnel often flee to care for their own families.

One emergency doctor recalled that all that could be done was to “provide the barest amount of comfort care.” He added, “We practiced medical triage at its most basic, black-tagging the sickest people and [moving] them [away] from the masses so that they could die in a separate area.”

That’s why it’s important you send for your copy of How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization.

In this eye-opening report, you’ll learn the steps you can take right now to prepare yourself and your family, to survive without routine medical care, including…

Saving Someone’s Life from Dehydration

One of the greatest tragedies of survival medicine is dehydration: that’s because severe dehydration can often be fatal and yet it is one thing that trained medical personnel can easily treat. As a result, the layman without a doctor or hospital available must learn how to cope with dehydration.

Severe dehydration can be recognized by dry skin and eyes, no sweating or urination, sunken eyes, fever, rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure. The secret is tiny amounts of fluid frequently. In an emergency, and assuming a patient can drink, you can make your own oral rehydration solution by mixing 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 liter (about 1 quart) of safe drinking water.

If a patient is unconscious and you do not have (or know how to use) an IV drip, you can use a simple field technique for providing emergency hydration to an unconscious person. Known as rectal fluid resuscitation, it involves carefully inserting a thin plastic tube in the patient’s rectum and then slowly dripping about 8 ounces of fluid (a cup) over a period of 15 to 20 minutes. This can be repeated every four hours. In the right circumstances, it can save someone’s life.

The Ultimate Terrorist Weapon: Smallpox!

Smallpox is a highly contagious, extremely lethal disease that killed between 300 million and 500 million people in the 20th century—five times more than all the people killed in all the wars of the past 100 years. Its eradication through a global vaccination campaign was one of the triumphs of modern medicine.

The last known case occurred in 1978—and it is considered to be the only human disease to have been completely eradicated.

Or has it?

The only known samples of the living virus are allegedly found in two heavily guarded laboratories—one in the U.S. and one in Russia.

However, if Islamic terrorists somehow acquired smallpox virus—perhaps through contacts in the Russian mafia—they could develop a biological weapon that would deliver a devastating blow.

One reason: While most Americans born before 1970 have been vaccinated against smallpox, the vaccine only lasts for five years! With the exception of some 650,000 U.S. soldiers, most young Americans have not been vaccinated at all and remain totally vulnerable to exposure…

“An attack using smallpox is a very real possibility, and the problem is that only a handful of countries in the world have enough adequate supplies for their own people,” said Randall Larsen, senior adviser to the Center of BioSecurity in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

In your copy of How to Survive the Collapse of Civilization, you’ll discover practical ways you can prevent becoming a victim of bioterrorism or deadly new epidemic diseases. You’ll discover…

A Global Flu Pandemic is a
Real Threat, Say Experts!

Everyone is worried about the recent outbreak of swine flu—and with good reason.

At this writing, over 90,000 people have been infected with H1N1 flu virus in 74 countries—from New Zealand to Nova Scotia.

And although this outbreak of swine flu has proven to be less deadly than originally predicted, flu strains frequently mutate and can be unpredictable.

The World Health Organization (WHO) now says “the emergence of an inherently more virulent virus during the course of a pandemic can never be ruled out.”

What REALLY worries experts is that a mutated form of the swine flu virus could spread far more rapidly—and infect entire populations in a matter of weeks. And if that happens, the U.S. government will be woefully unprepared to cope.

The 1918 flu epidemic started out rather mild and returned in six months in a much more deadly form killing 500,000 Americans and an estimated 100 million people worldwide. Fifty years later, in 1968, another epidemic of the “Asian flu” killed 700,000 people worldwide.

“The pandemic threat is real and continuing, irrespective of how much the perception of the threat may wax or wane over time,” said William Raub, who advises the U.S. government on pandemic preparedness.

Experts warn that swine flu—or a new drug-resistant infectious disease—could potentially kill thousands, perhaps millions. Find out what you can do to protect your family from epidemic disease—or biological terrorism!

This is long, but it says what the republicans and the hate mongers are about – gaining power and money from exciting hate and fear.

Midge

– they are more screwed up than you think.

Does marijuana reduce the debilitating physical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) … or does it just help patients care a little less about them? If you or a loved one suffers from MS, this could be a very important question.

It’s widely accepted that marijuana has some therapeutic value for MS-related symptoms, including for painful muscle spasticity.

In fact, clinical studies have demonstrated that when two of marijuana’s active ingredients, 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), are isolated and then combined into a drug, they can reduce muscle spasticity with only minor psychotropic effects.

Sativex, a pharmaceutical formulation of marijuana that is approved for neuropathic pain in MS patients in Canada but not in the US, contains both ingredients.

Yet for many, the intoxicating effects of marijuana’s ingredients are troubling.

With the hope of making a case for FDA approval here, researchers at the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation in Los Angeles selected six recent randomized controlled trials involving a total of 481 patients with MS who took oral preparations of combination THC and CBD extracts.

The findings are interesting — according to the admittedly subjective reports of the patients, the extracts relieved spasticity… but when several objective measures of spasticity (including a mobility index and patients’ “walk time”) were examined, no significant improvements were evident.

And, though the combination dose was thought to keep people from getting high, patients in each of the six trials experienced adverse effects in the form of intoxication and sedation.

The study was published last December in the online journal BMC Neurology.

GOOD STUFF OR NOT?

So — is marijuana helpful for MS patients? The answer, according to Moses Rodriguez, MD, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, and a nationally recognized MS expert, is yes and no.

Dr. Rodriguez told me that although many MS patients (including some of his own) report that marijuana is effective in alleviating spasticity, he said that there are no standards regulating how it should be used and “the data proving its efficacy is weak and its side effects are worrisome.”

One challenge, he explained, is that scientists still don’t understand why marijuana helps. “We know that it works on receptors in the brain, but marijuana does not have a direct effect on the muscles, so it is difficult to break away the drug’s general well-being effects from its anti-spasticity effects,” he said.

He also pointed out that little is known about marijuana’s systemic and long-term effects on MS patients, which is of potential concern.

Therefore, Dr. Rodriguez remains “very cautious” about recommending marijuana to his patients, “especially when other agents are available on the market that can effectively control spasticity, such as baclofen and tizanidine,” he said.

(Note: There is also little data on long-term effects of these drugs and they, too, have side effects.) The National Multiple Sclerosis Society takes a similar stance — it does not recommend medical marijuana, citing “insufficient evidence of a clear benefit compared with existing therapies and issues of side effects, systemic effects and long-term effects.”

Dr. Rodriguez believes that there may come a day when new marijuana agents will be manufactured that offer the anti-spasticity effects without the side effects. Until then, he recommends staying with FDA-approved drugs for MS-related spasticity.

I miss the point you are trying to make. I can’t make the connection between poverty and a greater danger of terrorism.

I see it as an opportunity for the immigrant to do what others have. I recognized that some of my fellow whites may attempt to do what we have always done. See to it that we as a race maintain our affirmative action advantage.

But today’s OTW has more help from the law and other whites like myself that don’t believe that we as a member of the white race should have the benefit of affirmative action.

Hence, I see the incoming new potential American citizen as an enrichment of the brain pool in America. That is what has made us the greatest country in the world.
