HOW GOVERNMENT IS INCREASING THE MISERY OF THE POOR

Richard Rahn October 9, 2015

Grand Cayman. Government is supposed to make life better for people — particularly the poor — but the U.S. and European governments are increasing the misery of the poor.

In the popular culture, Cayman is viewed as place were tax evaders and money launderers put their wealth. The truth is quite different in that most money laundering takes place in the big financial centers like London and New York, not Cayman.

For many years, Cayman has had information exchange agreements with the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury and the major European governments — so one would be very foolish to put money in a Cayman bank with the intent of not getting caught for tax evasion or money laundering.

Cayman is a high-income jurisdiction as a result of having a prosperous financial sector (having nothing to do with illegal activity), a vibrant tourist industry, and an increasingly diversified economy.

It also provides a good example of how the US government in collusion with others is increasing the misery of the poor in countries around the world.

ZERO OLDIES BUT GOODIES

October 9, 2015

Dear God,
So far this year you have taken away my favorite entertainer B.B King, favorite actor Mr. Spock Leonard Nimoy, and favorite actress Anita Ekberg.

Just so you know, my favorite politician is Barack Obama.

That’s my prayer for the night, God. Thank you.

Q. What do GOD and Barack Obama have in common?
A. GOD does not have a birth certificate either.

Q. What is the difference between GOD and Barack Obama?
A. GOD does not think he is Obama.

HALF-FULL REPORT 10/02/15

Dr. Jack Wheeler October 2, 2015

What happens when a sociopathic narcissist gets completely humiliated in front of the entire world by a man he hates?

We’re about to find out. Odds are it won’t be anything smart. As Charles Krauthammer points out in Obama’s Syria Debacle yesterday (10/01), Zero has no one to blame but himself for Putin making him an object of humiliated ridicule.

WWRRD? Of course, Putin would never have even dreamed of going in to Syria if he were up against a Ronald Reagan instead of a metrosexual p**sy. But let’s suppose that by some magic wand miracle, Zero had a personality transplant and decided to max out Putin’s vulnerabilities….

The real problem with Zero, however, is not that he’s a p**sy. He’s completely ruthless when dealing with domestic opposition, be they Pubs or the occasional wayward Dem like Bob Menendez, whom he’s trying to put in jail for opposing him on Iran.

The real problem is that he’s a black racist who hates America as much as the racist scum of #BlackLivesMatter, who wants God to damn America just like Jeremiah Wright. Michael Ramirez sums it up….

Couldn’t be a more apposite time to honor the HFR Hero of the Week, as he’s such a total contrast to Zero.

Yesterday (10/01), Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu delivered one of the most courageous and historic speeches in the existence of the United Nations. Here the video of the most dramatic moment….

There’s lots more in this HFR. We’ll close with an uplifting story emerging out of the murderous anti-Christian horror at Umpqua Community College in Oregon yesterday (10/01).

HEALTH FREEDOM VS. OBAMACARE FASCISM

Dr. Jack Wheeler October 2, 2015

It is critical to understand that Obamacare is fascist. Exactly why is explained below. Further, The House Pubs have voted to repeal Obamacare 60 times and are now going for 61 – all without a bill of their own to radically improve healthcare for all Americans.

Simply repealing Obamacare is playing defense. The Pubs need to go on the offense with pro-free market anti-fascist healthcare legislation of their own. Real free market medicine – not phony-crony corporatist medicine where Big Government colludes with Big Medicine, Big Insurance, and Big Pharma to restrict competition.

Such Health Freedom legislation would not only fully repeal Obamacare but include:

*Open enrollment in medical schools.
*Greatly reduce hospital administrative costs.
*Eliminate state mandates and regulatory barriers on health insurance.
*Give health care providers a tax credit for charity work.
*Restore the 100% deductibility of health care expenses.
*Reduce and provide an alternative to malpractice insurance costs.
*Repeal the Kefauver Amendment (the efficacy requirement for FDA drug approval)
*Allow truthful health claims for nutritional supplements.
*Remove government restrictions on the importation of foreign drugs.
*Allow the purchase of non-controlled medications without prescription.

TTPers are encouraged to send this to their congressman, senators, and local media.

THE REAL STORY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON

Senator Ted Cruz October 2, 2015

[Early Monday evening, 9/28, Ted Cruz gave one the greatest and most courageous speeches in the history of the US Senate. Below is the full video, followed by the full text. Watch and read it carefully, and you may well agree that Ted Cruz now stands head and shoulders above any of his rivals for the presidency. –JW]

There is a reason the American people are fed up with Washington. There is a reason the American people are frustrated. The frustration is not simply mild or passing or ephemeral. It is volcanic.

Over and over again, the American people go to the ballot box, over and over again, the American people rise up and say the direction we're going doesn't make sense. We want change. Over and over again, the American people win elections. In 2010, a tidal wave election. In 2014, a tidal wave election. And yet, nothing changes in Washington.

I'd like to share with you and the American people the real story of what is happening in Washington. Why is it that our leaders cannot stop bankrupting this country, cannot stop the assault on our constitutional rights, cannot stop America's retreat from leadership in the world?

OBAMA’S GENOCIDAL TREASON

Daniel Greenfield October 2, 2015

No government has the blood of more American soldiers on its hands today than the government of Iran. From Lebanon to Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia to Iraq, Iran has been killing American soldiers for decades.

241 in Beirut. 19 at the Khobar Towers. Over 500 in Iraq and Afghanistan. The last time the United States officially fought Iran was under Reagan. But Iran has never stopped killing Americans. There is no reason to believe that it will stop once it has the nuclear weapons that Obama is helping its leaders obtain.

Obama has not merely appeased Iran out of fear; he sympathizes with its anti-American grievances. As he told his negotiators, Iran’s rulers feel “vulnerable” because of how America “meddled” in “their democracy” and that its anti-Americanism is a “defensive” reaction to “avoid repeats of the past.”

Obama identifies with the anti-American resentments of Muslim terrorists instead of the suffering of their victims. His foreign policy has been based on empowering the enemies of the United States to turn their grievances into a “defense” against American influence and intervention.

This isn’t just Chamberlain. It’s Vidkun Quisling and Philippe Pétain. It’s not bad judgment. It’s treason. Treason that could result in the nuclear death of millions of Americans.

THE LAST DAYS OF HILLARY

Daniel Greenfield October 2, 2015

Hillary Clinton has spent a third of her adult life trying to become president. All for nothing.

The first time around, she wasted $200 million just to lose to Obama. $11 million of that money came from the notoriously "flat broke" couple. This time around she was determined to take no chances.

Together with her husband she built up a massive war chest using money from foreign governments and speaking fees from non-profits, funneled into her own dirty non-profit and a complex network of unofficial organizations staffed by Clinton loyalists, secured an unofficial endorsement from Obama, and carefully avoided answering questions or taking positions on anything.

There was no way she could lose. Now she’s losing all over again. The only lesson that Hillary Clinton drew from her last election try was to double down on all the things she did wrong. Let’s itemize them.

THE GLOBAL ANTI-AMERICAN ALLIANCE ON FULL DISPLAY

Michael Ledeen October 2, 2015

The global Anti-American Alliance is now on full display in the Middle East, with Iran at the lynch point.

The headlines have told us about the coordination of Iranian/Iraqi/Syrian/Russian/Chinese activities, and of course there is a division of labor. That was all worked out in recent weeks in a series of Iranian visits to Moscow (General Suleimani, who commands the Revolutionary Guards’ foreign ops, twice traveled to Russia in open defiance of existing sanctions).

Basically, the Russians are sending some crack troops and their favorite heavy weapons (tanks, big guns). It goes via an Iranian air bridge and thence across Iraq to Syria. The Revolutionary Guards’ air force has 115 trained pilots ready to go, and they’ve trained 3000 Afghan fighters for ground battles. The Afghans get Iranian residence and a stipend. In addition there are 740 Pakistani Shi’ites in Suleimani’s special forces.

It’s a start, anyway.

THE GLOBAL CONSPIRACY OF MONEY-GRUBBING TAX BULLIES

Richard Rahn October 2, 2015

Are you aware that there is an international effort to increase taxes, including those paid by Americans?

Next Monday (Oct. 5), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, based in Paris) will release its “final package of measures for a coordinated international approach to reform the tax system under the OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project.”

In plain English, what the OECD bureaucrats are attempting to do is put in place minimum international corporate tax rates, and companies will be required to share sensitive and proprietary information with non-Americans who may misuse it.

The OECD started life several decades ago as a trade promotion and statistical organization created by the few big, rich nations. As bureaucracies tend to do, the OECD grew in number of members and engaged in “mission creep,” most notably becoming a lobbying organization — using taxpayer money — for those wanting higher taxes.

The OECD should be re-titled OMGTB, the Organization for Money-Grubbing Tax Bullying.

WHAT DOES BILL SAY TO HILLARY AFTER SEX?

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard October 2, 2015

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/25/15

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 25, 2015

“Is the Pope Catholic?”

All our lives it’s been the standard rhetorical response to any question that obviously should be answered yes. Who ever dreamed it would one day be a real question? That day came yesterday (9/24) with Francis’ ghastly speech to Congress (the link is to the full transcript).

Isn’t he supposed to be the Vicar of Christ? Isn’t the whole point of his church to be about salvation via Jesus? Yet he delivered a boring trite clichéd libtard political diatribe that didn’t mention either “Jesus” or “Christ” once – do a word search in the link and you’ll see.

He’s a “liberation theology” Marxist Poseur Pope with the narcissistic effrontery to lecture us on freedom and opportunity. He didn’t even have the courage to denounce abortion to the Dem proponents of evil incarnate Planned Parenthood sitting right in front of him…

Of course, the big news – reallllllly big! as Ed Sullivan would say – today is Boehner’s resignation. Let’s not pop any champagne corks just yet, but at the very least this calls for a finger or two of Famous Grouse. Here’s what a Congressista I talked to had to say…

Anyone see dots connecting these stories?

Army Times, Saturday 9/19: President Nominates First Openly Gay Army Secretary.
New York Times, Sunday 9/20: US Soldiers Told to Ignore Abuse of Boys in Afghanistan.
London Daily Mail, Wednesday, 9/23: Army Rejects Appeal of Green Beret Kicked Out for Stopping Afghan for Raping 12 Year-Old Boy….

In the Not All Chinese Are Smart Department this week, and in honor of Chief Chicom Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House today, we bring you the story of Chinese Vice Admiral Yuan Yubai, commander of the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) North Sea Fleet…

And what presidential candidate told this joke at the Value Voters Summit in DC this afternoon? “President Xi of China is at the White House today. The world press’ attention is focused on this historic meeting between the world’s most powerful Communist… and the leader of China.”

Here’s the video of his speech – it’s fabulous.

CRUZ AND THE CHICOM

Dr. Jack Wheeler September 25, 2015

Tonight (9/24), China’s Chief Chicom – Xi Jinping (shee-jhun-ping), General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of the People’s Republic of China – will have a private “working dinner” at the White House with President Zero.

Tomorrow (9/24) comes all the pomp – 21-gun salute on the South Lawn, Rose Garden joint Zero-Xi press conference, lunch at State with Lurch and SloJo, reception at Capitol Hill, formal State Dinner at the White House with Zero and Xi toasting each other in eternal friendship. That’s all public ceremony. The important meeting is dinner tonight.

It will be child’s play for Xi to play Zero like a Stradivarius and smoke him like a Gurkha Black Dragon. Xi is a vastly more intelligent, knowledgeable, ruthless, and competent leader than our pathetic know-nothing narcissist. But what if he were up against an American president his equal in both brainpower and willpower? A president as determined to defend his country as Xi is his?

Not a President Trump, whom Xi would simply stroke his ego until Trump was purring on his lap. No, someone truly smart and savvy.

What would the conversation be tonight if Xi were having that working dinner with a President Ted Cruz? It would go something like this.

THE SURRENDER PARTY

Senator Ted Cruz September 25, 2015

What happens in politics when one side is absolutely committed to its principles, willing to fight for them no matter the cost, and the other side reflexively surrenders on every issue? We have modern-day Washington.

Today, President Barack Obama fights relentlessly for his liberal priorities. Like the Terminator, he never gives up, he never stops. And Republican leadership responds to every challenge by surrendering at the outset.

The core of this capitulation comes from Republican leadership’s promise that “There will be no government shutdown.” On its face, the promise sounds reasonable. Except in practice it means that Republicans never stand for anything.

Like Charlie Brown and the football, this disconnect explains the massive frustration with Washington. The American people do not believe Republicans will actually do what we say we will do.

The alternative? We actually do what we said we would do. We fight for commonsense conservative principles, and we use the constitutional authority of the power of the purse—which leadership has forsworn—to do so. Here’s how.

“MADE IN GERMANY” LIES IN THE GUTTER

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard September 25, 2015

Volkswagen has suffered a shocking loss of credibility after conspiring to violate US pollution laws and dupe customers on a systemic scale.

The scandal has once again exposed a culture of corrupt practices at the top of German export industry.

It is of an entirely different character from earlier breaches of US law by Hyundai and Ford, which stemmed mostly from errors. The US Justice Department is weighing serious criminal charges.

“It is profoundly serious. The accusation is that VW deliberately set out to mislead regulators with a cleverly hidden piece of software,” said Max Warburton from AllianceBernstein.

The financial daily Handelsblatt called the deception a “catastrophe for the whole of German industry.” It is and here’s why.

A COUNTRY OF THE FUTURE

Richard Rahn September 25, 2015

Tallinn, Estonia. Right now, Estonia is arguably the most advanced country in the world when it comes to use of the Internet and related technologies.

Estonia is a most improbable success, in that a mere quarter of a century ago it was still under domination of the Soviet Union as a very poor backwater on the Baltic Sea. Now it is a developed country and a member of both the EU and NATO.

Estonia has been the most successful of the former communist-controlled countries, in part because of excellent political leadership since independence, including the remarkable Mart Laar -- the father of the economic reform, who served as prime minister from 1992-1994, and again from 1999-2002.

The Estonians now have the rule of law, the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the EU, a balanced budget, free trade, and a flat-rate income tax -- all of which have led to their high economic growth and prosperity. Here’s how they did it – and why theirs is a country of the future.
