Do Economists Not Predict Correctly?

It depends on your definition of an economist. And your definition depends on the world as you know it.

If you think economists are people who are employed by the government or by institutions that are dependent on funding from the government (which means most institutions of higher learning!) to interpret economic data then the answer is affirmative. They do not predict correctly.

If you think economists are people who use the empirical methodology as the basis of their statistical examination of the economy, thereby conferring interpretive and interventionist powers on the ego-driven; yes, if you think these are economists then the answer is affirmative. They do not predict correctly.

If these are your definitions of an economist because the world that you know is the pathetically corrupt perspective of a pandering politician then it is true that the economists do not predict correctly.

But these are all distortions of reality. There are economists and there are charlatans. The test of a true economist is subjectivism.

Of course it is true that the charlatans cannot predict correctly. It is the imbecilic politicians and their overlords and the bribed media that think that the charlatans are economists.

However the record is clear and conclusive. The true economists, those using the subjectivist methodology, have been accurately predicting the consequences of the practices of quackery imposed upon the economy by the charlatans (with immodest encouragement coming from the politicians).

No, the economists (who are actually charlatans) do not predict correctly!

Yes, the economists (as defined by Ludwig von Mises) do predict correctly!

Would Tim Russert Like To Redo His Ron Paul Interview?

Maybe the untimely death of Tim Russert will serve as a wake-up call to the other journalists who are compromising the standard of journalistic ethics for the sake of the power elite who could care less about you leaving a legacy of principled service.

Would Tim Russert wish to redo his interview with Ron Paul? Would he have rather facilitated the flow of knowledge about the beauty of our Constitutional Republic than to have deliberately distracted the viewing audience with journalistic antics?

Time is short.

Hear me all you journalists who put your ambition above your ethics. Either serve those who are trying to usurp the Constitutional Republic and be forgotten (or if dug up in history, regarded poorly) or stand strong and practice journalism in a way that is worthy of your profession.

If you cannot discern the difference between corrupted and partisan news reporting versus covering principled and meritorious newsworthy stories then you are a journalistic failure no matter how much acclaim you receive from typical sources.

Time is short so don’t waste it being a court jester for the kings without clothes. Rather, be bold enough to tell everyone that these emperors do not have on any clothes!

Underground Economy Versus Socialism/Interventionism.

Socialism is crumbling. It is being undermined at every corner.

As always, the unrealistic restrictions created by socialism and then imposed upon the economy fosters the development of an underground economy that skirts the parasitic and predatory practices of the interventionists. The more oppressive the socialism the more expansive the underground economy.

At least 8% of the population in America are seriously convinced that the philosophy of classical liberalism is the only true direction, as enunciated clearly and definitely in the U.S. Constitution. Most of these individuals are well-educated and self-motivated and willing to educate and motivate others! Additionally, a large proportion of these individuals are young and are determined to change the future.

In the waning stages of socialism the underground economy will be recognized as the only vigorous part of the economy and this will reinforce the educational aspect of the classical liberalism movement to the point where the empty skeleton of socialistic intervention will crumble into a heap and be left behind as the carcass of a burdensome beast.

The beauty of the philosophy of classical liberalism is the recognition that any politics that creates a State is loathsome. Thus the best system is one that is apolitical which means that the human ego has to be completely removed from the process.

How is that possible? Ethics of the Divine Economy hints at how that is possible.

What Is The Cure For Economic Leprosy?

Who will people turn to when they are hurting real bad? They will turn to the doctor!

The foolish power elite think that they can control the economy; well, those days are gone!

If the artificially propped up Wall Street can easily flip flop around and plummet 300 points (or more) in a single day just think how receptive the suffering people will be when this chaos intensifies and and gains momentum with yet still over 100 days before the Convention.

The pain can quickly become far more acute, and out of desperation, the message of economic truth will change hearts and minds.

Will the leprosy of interventionism dissolve the skin of the Constitution or will the good doctor shun the interventionists so America can begin to restore its health? I have reason to imagine that by September the prescription for health will be spoken widely throughout the land, person to person, and completely out of the hands of the bribed media. This is another oversight of the power elite - their assumption that we need them to communicate with each other!

As it becomes common knowledge that the politicians and their co-conspirators are lepers we will appropriately deal with them and their treasonous schemes.

The Dollar, The Euro, And Political Corruption.

I am assuming that many of you have seen this interview with Ron Paul ( http://ronpaulforum.info/index.php?topic=223.0. ) about the worldwide trend away from the dollar. This is what will forcibly terminate the lying promises of the politicians 'to give you everything you want' (democracy - the God that failed) as if there is no cost to the totally inefficient government services.

And do not think for a moment that the decision of Saddam Hussein to take only euros for Iraqi oil was not the major rationale for his demise by the mercantilistic power elite in charge of the U.S. government (even though they are an un-Constitutional faction).

The irony is that it was the belligerent and imperialistic foreign policy of intervention by this same corrupt faction that controls the U.S. government that forced Iraq to sell its oil through channels that were not restricted by the imposed economic sanctions of the U.S. government!

The irony continues: $27/barrel before the Iraq invasion and now it is $126 and rising.

These crimes against other nations and against our own citizens by the ego-driven interventionists should find their way to an international court of justice.

The Constitution is the law of the land so judgment is potentially straight forward. Who is violating their oath and who is trying to usurp the Constitution?

The fact that Iran is taking euros not dollars for their oil is exponentially more consequentially real to the 'imminent' attack by the U.S. than the fabricated nuclear threat.

Fools and Liars - Inflation Makes Them Exhibitionists!

As if people cannot follow the simple logic that they use in the running of their own household, the politicians talk about spending money even though everyone knows that we are very much in debt as a nation. The painful effects resulting from run away inflation cause people to bitterly complain but the politicians are foolish so they propose throwing money at the problem. This out-in-the-open foolishness would be unthinkable even for a politician except under the pressure of inflation.

To ‘cover their tracks’ they use the media to channel their propaganda (lies) to make it appear like inflation is caused by some varied and sundry entities other than the counterfeiter. Their propaganda predictably blames oil and then food and then consumer demand and on and on to try to convince the public of the concocted story of the liar (the politician). They will give speeches denigrating the supposed perpetrators of inflation all the while trying to hide the heinous counterfeiting agency from the public’s eye. They will continue their lies even to the extent of calling the Federal Reserve ‘the inflation fighter!’

Inflation gives these politicians (ie., fools and liars) a reason to dance around in front of everyone and act like they are worthy of attention. Their exhibitionism draws them out into the spotlight and such a public interest is irresistible to these ego-driven interventionists.

But guess what, o fools and liars, now everyone knows how little you know and how scheming you are!

Now is the Time for the Remaining States to Show Their Significance!

Not everyone can be first! Aren't you sick of the political game-playing to be the first in the nation or to be stacked in the front. Not only are the palms being greased in those States but the people are treated as if they are important enough to determine the election outcome.

What about all of the late-comers? Are these voters relevant?

Especially on the Republican side, it is as if you have to be resigned to voting for the warmonger with an economic IQ of 60 (at best). Thank God and thanks to the principled determination of Ron Paul there is an alternative. Of course the media will continue to act like he doesn't exist, as part of their duty to perpetuate the status quo.

You can show the power of your voice by voting for the only statesman running for the Presidency - Ron Paul. The others are politicians and they serve their lords (the power elite like the Council of Foreign Relations) and they are too ego-driven to ever abide by the Constitution.

If you want your voice heard and if you want to restore a Constitutional government go to the polls with enthusiasm and vote for Ron Paul. Do not let complacency sap you of your duty and honor to vote. Do not let the media lull you into thinking that you have to vote for a shallow masquerading politician.

Why Not Austrian Economics?

Since the 1930’s governments around the world have been applying Keynesian economic doctrines. What we get in return for this fallacious theory is a runaway government, saturated with fiat currencies that are close to being worthless and we get politicians who promise welfarism and warfarism. Not only is Keynesian economics a bankrupt ideology but it bankrupts the nations whose governments practice it.

Monetarism is another fallacious economic theory that has been tried several times and has failed miserably each time. It was the ‘monetarism’ in the 1920’s that focused on the price level and used the money supply to keep the price level ‘stable’ all the way into the Great Depression! Those idiotic economists could not even see what was on their doorstep while they were out there trumpeting that the economy was never again going to contract because prices were stable. Again in the seventies during the Reagan recession the Monetarists were in control of policy but lost all credibility since they could not fix the economy using their prescribed and calculated monetary adjustments.

All that modern societies, under the aegis of government control of the economy, have seen are multiple variations of Keynesianism and Monetarism with the same results - booms and busts, recessions, and the wiping out of the middle-class. Not only are these economic ‘theories’ invalid scientifically but in all instances where they were applied they failed.

The alternative is Austrian economics which actually predates Keynesianism and Monetarism. In addition it withstands scientific scrutiny since it is a deductive approach. It passes the test of logic.

OK, then why not give it a try in the political realm?

The answer is clear. The power elite cannot remain in control because there is no justification for interventionism in Austrian economics. This is the reason why the word ‘revolution’ is being used by Ron Paul who is a classical liberal scholar, an Austrian economist, a statesman, and a Constitutionalist. The power elite will not voluntarily apply Austrian economic theory which means that humankind will continue to suffer from the consequences of the quackery of Keynesianism and Monetarism unless there is a revolution. The revolution has as its goal to get rid of the ego-driven interventionists and to let the economy serve the needs of all of us.

Why not Austrian economics? Because there is still enough economic illiteracy in the world for the power elite to bamboozle the masses. This may be changing which is why there is hope. In fact the message of liberty and the message of freedom from ego-driven intervention into the economy is being heard around the world and all the governments practicing their Keynesian (fallacious) economics will find themselves exposed for what they are: theft rings of the power elite.

Why not Austrian economics? There is no reason why not.

No Doubting Texas Patriotism - Hear the Cheers!

Different regions have certain characteristics and I think it is safe to say that Texas is known to be strong-willed and patriotic. So the false claims by the overlords in Washington, D.C. that it is unpatriotic to oppose the war in Iraq are obviously propaganda efforts.

When Ron Paul speaks to the Texans in his district, who know the Constitution better than any other district in the country, and he speaks about the illegality and immorality of the war in Iraq and the associated, serious economic consequences to our great nation the crowd of all ages cheers about his honesty and courage and leadership.

Healthy patriotism is defending the Constitution against the enemies foreign and domestic. Our status quo foreign policy is being forced upon us by the ‘domestic’ enemies. Listen to Ron Paul speak to those down home folks that know him best.

Huckabee Plagiarizes Conservative Stance from Ron Paul.

Like all politicians Mike Huckabee modifies his stance to serve his ambitions. He was encouraged to run for President by the power elite to appear to offer a conservative alternative to Ron Paul. His ego made it easy for him to feel like he really had something to say.

But his nature did not change. He is a typical politician and morphs to serve his own advantage. He knew that his overlords were censoring everything Ron Paul was saying so he could then plagiarize the message of Ron Paul and the media would present it as his message, as if it represented his core beliefs. ‘His core beliefs’ is an oxymoron because those change with the wind.

Huckabee uses these themes extracted from the true conservative, Ron Paul, to make himself seem knowledgeable and principled. But these are not his ideas and he does not have the knowledge of classical liberalism that made these principles evident to Ron Paul. He fraudulently speaks about conservative issues like getting rid of the IRS but he doesn’t know the principle behind the issue. He doesn’t know why the IRS is an abomination, he does not understand free market economics and he does not truly desire a Constitutional government.

The status quo of ‘lying politicians’ is all we can expect from Huckabee, McCain, Clinton and Obama. In contrast, Ron Paul is an honorable statesman and a scholar of classical liberalism.

John McCain Encourages the Terrorists to Target America.

The irony and error of the proposed McCain foreign policy is the false sense of security that comes from sending more troops and fortifying our bases and embassies in the countries that we are occupying, like Iraq. This means that those with hostile intentions towards us (because we have invaded their country or their holy ground) will have to go where there is less resistance and less fortification.

They will come here to America to do their bidding!What an asinine foreign policy!

We spread ourselves too thin so that we are more vulnerable at home and then we go around the world and agitate extremists!

‘Agitate’ you say! And McCain sings “Bomb, bomb, bomb - bomb, bomb Iran!”

McCain Sells Death and Destruction to Save His Reputation.

Why is Senator John McCain the primary obstacle to declassifying the information about the prisoners of war and the missing in action during the Vietnam War? What is he hiding?

It is his disgraceful conduct that would completely destroy his candidacy, that is what he is trying to keep out of the public's eye. No one would vote for him if they realized that he collaborated with the 'enemy' to save his own neck.

He has entered into an agreement with his overlords where he will do their bidding of warmongering in return for their concealing his dishonor.

Righteous? Stand up for Ron Paul.

Is it wrong for the corporate media to censor a statesman who expresses ideas about liberty and prosperity and yet never fail to fill their broadcast hours with what can be labeled as trash, what would have been categorized as pornographic fifteen years ago? This is the type of ethics demonstrated by the corporate media. A righteous person would take a stance and send a message. Stand up for Ron Paul, as a supporter or simply as a righteous person.

Who can sleep at night knowing that our government is involved with violence of an unbelievable scale, all to satisfy a small group of imperialistic neoconservatives who have hijacked our government and forced the American system of government, through secretive deal-making, to disregard its own Constitution? A righteous person would quickly discern who is lying and conniving. A vote for Ron Paul is a righteous vote.

When have you written a check to pay for something knowing full well that there are no funds available? This is nothing but fraud and stealing. But yet we are supposed to sit back and tolerate the counterfeiting that is done at a unfathomable magnitude by our government and done with the stamp of approval that implies that all Americans are like this. Where are the righteous ones who will stand up and call the lying politicians ‘liars’ and call the media collaborators ‘pathetic collaborators’ and call the administrators ‘thieves and counterfeiters and frauds?”


There are many reasons for the righteous to arise. One of the very best ways to show that you are one of the righteous ones is to vote for the humble and truthful statesman, Ron Paul.

Ron Paul Doesn't Have To Study or Memorize Before Any Debate.

Ron Paul is a scholar in the classical liberalism tradition. Which also means that he thoroughly understands the economy, and it means that he understands human rights. This knowledge and this foundation of principles is incorporated as wisdom and it is spoken as truth.

Truth is very powerful and it is especially outstanding when it is contrasted with the slithering deceitfulness of politicians, most notably seen in a debate format. That is why all the other candidates fear Ron Paul. Whereas he looks forward to the debates or any forum where he can speak about the philosophical ideals of classical liberalism the other candidates are anxiously 'cramming' with their aids to make sure that they don't say anything that contradicts themselves.

The deceit does not end in the words of the politicians but it also penetrates into the media-run debate program. The media cartel does not know exactly who their overlords want to be President but they get certain signals. If the candidate is a warmonger then the chances are good that the overlords will be pleased. If the candidate proposes things that make the citizens more dependent on the welfare/warfare State the media knows that their overlords will reward them by giving them a talk show if they can convince the citizens to vote for that puppet!

Contrast these stances with the only statesman ever to challenge the un-Constitutional usurpation by these neoconservative fascists who use the media as their pawns. Ron Paul goes before the public and tells the truth and exposes the lies and the violations of the Constitution. Quickly the media felt the potential wrath of their overlords, and so swiftly the media cartel began to try to counteract the truth.

Predictably they will lie about Ron Paul. They will censor Ron Paul. They will lie about the Ron Paul supporters. They will manipulate the debate formats and the debate questions.

Ron Paul doesn't need to study and he cannot be tricked into inconsistencies. Truth penetrates all their schemes and exposes all of their frauds.

Media and overlords, your only hope was to exclude Ron Paul from the debates like you did in New Hampshire, but even then your schemes were exposed as fraudulent. In your mind-control world, it is a pity that your work was not yet completed because the truth is about to set us all free!

Ron Paul Will Stop the Stealing From Your Children and Their Children!

“I have a good idea!” Let’s steal money from our children and their children and take the money and spend it on whatever we want to try to make the economy look rosy!

This is how naïve the American citizenry is about the lies and schemes of the politicians: Everyone is excited about this ‘bribe’ that all of the politicians endorse.

Tax cuts, and all types of tax relief are good since everyone should have the right to spend the money that they make, in whatever manner they choose, but if there is not a spending cut of at least the equivalent amount then we are simply piling debt on our children and the generations to come.

One good thing comes from this absurdity: if there is any candidate that is critical of this fiscally irresponsible decision then that candidate is a statesman, not a politician. It is good to have the absurdity of ‘politics as usual’ only because the sleazy politicians stand out like a sore thumb compared to the statesman.

The Myopic Belligerence of the Demagogues! Saved by Ron Paul!

When I hear the politicians spouting out their platitudes to try to win votes I cringe at their idiocy. They act like they are addressing a small group of 'good ole boys' at some coffee shop in the district where their sleazy political careers began.

On the one hand they talk about the United States as 'the greatest nation in the world' and yet they are too stupid to realize that people all over the world are listening to what they say because the United States is the greatest nation in the world!!! When they insult other people and nations by acting like the United States has the right to invade and occupy other nations they expose their petty-mindedness.

And when they try (using their political patriotic blah-blah) to justify imposing some arbitrary system of government to be covertly run by U.S. neoconservatives these politicians make it clear who they represent and why they smell so foul. It is no wonder why most people look at voting as a duty begrudging acted upon, if at all.

This time it is different because a statesman is running for President. Ron Paul speaks about liberty and liberty has no boundaries. Everyone in the world benefits from the peace and prosperity that comes from liberty. When Ron Paul says that we should trade with everyone and talk with them and stop treating other nations as pawns, everyone in the world hears this.

Instead of the anger and disgust that all of the other candidates generate worldwide, Ron Paul stirs feelings of hope and confidence that the problems can be solved. One major problem that will be solved by a humble foreign policy is a strong national defence. Another is the prosperity of peaceful trade without the devious trade agreements created by the ego-driven interventionists.

If only the U.S. media could free themselves from the clutches of their overlords then they may be able to spread the news. It is ironic that Russian TV has proven a more objective news source than ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, or FOX.

U.S. Comptroller General Speaks Neutrally About Bankruptcy.

David Walker is the U.S. Comptroller General and he has served since the Reagan years under various administrations and he looks at the numbers. If nothing else a non-partisan accountant can tell if there is a financial crisis or not.

After being introduced by Glen Beck of CNN you can hear about the financial status of the United States of America.

With this information now a part of your knowledge base you will be able to see through all the smoke and mirrors of the politicians. How despicable and/or ignorant are these demogogues, Republican and Democrat!

There is only one statesman running for President and that is Ron Paul.

Script Reading Blah-Blah or Heart-to-Heart Intelligent Persuasion.

When the media announced its winner of the New Hampshire Republican Primary John McCain came to the podium and, I declare, made it clear and evident that he says what he is told to say. You can't even find the video of his speech on the internet because it is so blatantly puppetlike. Here is the script (which he read on behalf of his interventionist lords): http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/08/us/politics/08text-mccain.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

In vivid contrast we have the readily available videos of the talk given by Ron Paul after the New Hamshire Primary:
http://jonspoliticalramblings.blogspot.com/2008/01/ron-paul-speech-after-new-hampshire.html

I wish you could watch the video of McCain (conveniently unavailable) and compare the content and the intent of each of these two candidates for President. The difference is night and day. McCain's message is shrouded in darkness with his platitudes serving as his stars and his war-mongering as his moon.

Ron Paul's message is not only like the day but it is like the dawn of a new day. It is time for everyone to wake up!

Iranian Speedboats Terrify the Neoconservatives!

When I saw the footage showing the displeasure shown by the Iranians with the presence of the U.S. Navy near their national border I couldn't believe my eyes.

Who is the aggressor here, the tiny speedboats thousands of miles from the United States or the most powerful navy in the world parked just offshore of Iranian soil?

How can the American people allow the cowardly and unjust demogogues in America to speak on our behalf. Throw the bums out.

To do it you will have to validate each and every ballot because they have their blood-stained hands in every nook and cranny of the election process. Demand a verifiable auditing process.

It is so ironic that we are unable to hold an uncorrupted democratic election and yet the neoconservative demogogues claim that it is the duty of the United States to give democracy to the world. Worldwide hegemony to the political ruling party (composed of Democrats and Republican) is their motivation.

America does have a role to play. That role is to expose the lies and designs of the ego-driven interventionists, the neoconservatives composed of Democrats and Republicans.

Materialism is part of the blindness.

When I observe how people make their decisions about politicians it is apparent that they decide by thinking in a materialistic mode. This explains the shallowness of perception.

Materialism destroys individuals and it can destroy a civilization.

Sadly, it may be from the ashes that a better civilization will arise.
