Ron Paul raises $6 million in one day!

He broke John Kerry's one day primary record of 5.7 million. w00000t, man, what a great day for liberty! This campaign actually has some potential! He passed $18 million for the quarter --- man, that's insane.

Incredible Ron Paul Interview!

He really goes in depth on his views. Amazing!

The Fed will ruin us...

Last week, Jim Cramer blew up on TV at the fed. Even though Cramer recognizes something needs to be done, Cramer is stuck in fucking la-la land like the rest of the "everything is fine" financial news analysts in the country. There is a reason the fed has kept their overnight lending rate at 5.25% for so long:

• If they lower rates, banks of course lower their rates, and naturally give out more loans. The more fiat money they give out, the more inflated the money supply becomes, raising prices.
  
• If they raise rates, fewer people borrow money and the economy slows
  

They are walking a fine line of destruction of the economy vs. the quicker destruction of the dollar. This is how they created the housing bubble, and as Cramer says, people are going to loose their homes when they can't make the payments. Articles like this highlight what the Federal Reserve policy at a time like this is - inflate the money supply. WHAT THE FUCK??? "The Fed pushed $38 billion in temporary reserves into the system Friday, on top of a similar move the day before." Who the fuck at this AP article? You must be kidding me. "Temporary reserves"? As someone in Freedom to Fascism pointed out, the Federal Reserve is quite a misleading name. It's not federal (it's a private bank that "loans" our money (Federal Reserve Notes) to us) and they have few reserves (not much gold is left backing the "currency"). What they did is pump like $60 billion into the economy in two days. Inflation is already at 14ish percent. Holy Christ.

Record high milk prices? It's not just the fucking asians drinking our milk -- it's inflation. Our inflation and debt are actually getting so bad, China's central bank is threatening to sell off their enormous amounts of dollar reserves. God forbid they stop loaning us 2 billion a day to run our government!!

There is an insidious institution at the heart of this. Fractional reserve banking. If you don't have hard assets/commodities (like gold and silver) baking your currency, there is no protection against inflation (and at some point, hyper-inflation and currency collapse like in germany in the 20's). The answer is sound money -- getting rid of the Federal Reserve and restoring the power to coin money to congress, or at least taking the monopoly power from the federal reserver and letting private money systems compete. The ONLY viable politician right now who understands this and WILL change it is Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. Check him out.

We are fucking with Iran, and they are just as insane.

So today the Bush administration is back on the warpath. Cheney is nudging Bush into striking Iran (as if we didn't know they want to control the middle east already), the Guardian reports. Is it any wonder that Iran fucking hates us? They want us to leave them alone. Everyone around them has nukes, and they can see that they are next on the globalists' list. One reason for this is control of Oil resources, of course, from Russia and China. Another has to be the same mistake Iraq made (taking euros for Oil), and other stunts like this from Iran. This sort of thing almost makes one think the global leaders *don't* want the dollar to collapse, no matter how hard they're trying to make way for the Amero, destroying the dollar through inflation and deficits.

Measuring the money supply

Mike Hewitt today made an educational post about how the Federal Reserve measures the US money supply with a nice little graph. It's interesting to note that since discontinuing M3, a couple of third parties have "reconstructed" M3 (and the other). Anyway, the coming years don't look good for the dollar.

Badass first comment

Check the first comment on this digg post. Oh man that's great. I really do hope he gets imprisoned for treason after being impeached. He's such a piece of shit. I wouldn't want it any other way, if it could work out that way. He may not be the magical dude behind the curtain on 9/11, but he certainly knows a thing or two, and he's just a fucking liar to the American people. Anyway, that was just a cool comment.

Partition Magic sucks

So today I had a big scare.
I recently unplugged the second drive in a raid 1 array. The raid array carried on fine, degraded, with only one drive. A few weeks later when I was able to get around to it, I re-plugged the drive. Well, not knowing that this particular bios (or do they all?) required that the newly inserted drive be completely lacking any filesystems or formatting, I stuck it in and booted up, selecting the correct one I wanted to keep. Windows XP boots. The RAID bios said I now had two degraded raid arrays. Oops. "Obviously, I have to clear the drive", I thought to myself. Well, windows disk management didn't allow me to do that, for some reason, so I whip out Partition Magic, old school, 8.0. Now, I've been burnt by PowerQuest's shit before, specifically their version that came out right after XP that STILL DIDN'T SUPPORT XP, but because I'd used 8.0 since, I thought I'd be cool. I went in, deleted the disk. The action was added. I exited the program and it said I had to reboot, so I did.

When it came back up, it wouldn't log in. Rather, it would, but then it immediately said "Logging off" and took me back to the login screen. Fuck. Something in the userinit process is fucked. Microsoft is also fucked -- I have no way of getting to the registry to see wtf is going on, and wtf partition magic did, because I can't login to windows. Last known good config did nothing, just took me to the same fucked install. Luckily, I remembered a couple things. I can boot XP, log in (even though it automatically logs off), and it will get an IP, and it already started services, like ... whatever the service that lets you connect remotely to registries is, and windows shares (if those aren't the same).


I used a different box on the same network. Start -> Run -> regedit -> Connect Network Registry...
Put the box IP in, connected, found that userinit under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ WindowsNT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon was set to the right thing (C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe)
So... that makes no sense... why isn't it booting? Just then I remembered PSexec. Thank god someone had the good sense to make this app, and then Microsoft had the good sense to keep the utils around after they bought that company.
I also had pstools installed on the fucked up computer, so I was able to run psinfo remotely with psexec:

psexec \\ol.db.ox.ip -u Administrator -p password psinfo

It came back with output that told me the systemroot was E:\WINDOWS
Apparently, when I put both hard drives in, the second, older one took over as C: and that fucked everything up. So through the remote registry, thanks to this guide, I was able to set the root drive from E: back to C: and I rebooted. Everything rebooted normally and I was able to log in.
Day saved. Partition Magic sucks.
