| You’re the First to Know Dear Friend, Well, it looks like you have made a difference.
Based upon the unbelievable support that I have receieved from 10,000 supporters like you, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring to challenge Chris Dodd for the honor of representing the state of Connecticut in the United States Senate. I will announce my candidacy on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show on Thursday, September 17 at 8:15am eastern time. Sorry for the short notice, but its important to honor commitments and keep these things under raps until the day the news breaks.
At this time last year I could not have imagined that that I would be making such an announcement today. I had never intended to become a candidate for public office. But these are extraordinary times. Our economy is falling apart in front of our eyes and Washington seems intent on making the wheels come off even faster. At a time when we desperately need adult supervison, the economically illiterate are running the show. As I love my country, it now seems clear that I must try to do something to help. The emotional and material support I have received from across the country has made the decision much easier.
So today it begins. As I’m sure you are aware, the rules in politics bear only scant resemblance to those which govern polite society. As a result, I am wading into strange waters, and I’m sure strange things will happen. But I promise to maintain my composure and give it my best shot. Based on the support that I have received thus far, I fully expect to be facing down Chris Dodd in the general election just 14 months from now.
As my campaign takes flight, I appreciate the patience and trust that you have shown. To commit time and money to a long shot candidate for high office is a hard choice. I hope to repay that trust with a first class campaign.
I look forward to your feedback and your continued support.
Thanks again, Peter Schiff |

An Open Letter to the Democrat(ic?) National Committee
I have been around for a lot of years and I’ve heard a lot of cow pies come from the mouths of most politicians, though I give your side, the DNC, full credit for producing the record number of cow pies in the least amount of time.
I’m not here today, though to talk about cow pies much, especially since everyone I know is already familiar with that trait of yours. I’m here to talk about the sort of followers you have, your trekkies, your hangers-on, your fans, the miracle workers who keep you front and foremost for no real reason that is apparent, the people who in real life may be really decent people, but when faced with being decent or with defending one of your scams, turn into angry automatons who defend the indefensible, which is YOU.
Your Party is so screwed up that it isn’t recognizable as an American organization. I’m not pitting you against the Republicans – they’re better than you, but not by much. Almost without exception the voters have managed to put into office some of the most depraved, dishonest, greedy, lying, unpatriotic, and petty excuses called humans on the face of the earth.
But back to the DNC. I believe there is nothing crooked you would not endorse in order to get a democrat, any democrat elected. They don’t have to be smart, talented, honest, honorable, patriotic – all they have to be is DEMOCRAT and malleable enough to commit the highest crime asked of them by their Party. You have not a single person of character within the US government at this time, and haven’t had since you lost Zell Miller for whom I would vote in a heart beat. You still have the once good guy, Joe Lieberman, but you destroyed his credibility when you dumped him in with Al Gore’s run for the Presidency. Anything associated with Al Gore is damaged goods.
You also let Chris Dodd and Barney Frank get away with entirely too much before you know what hit the fan. And your Pelosi person winging her way home and back on a military huge jet every time we turn around , costing us taxpayers an awfully lot of money – I don’t know how much – I can’t even imagine how much that little terror costs us taxpayers each and every day. I will tell you that she is really, really a sorry excuse for a politician, though perhaps better than people like Leaky Leahy and the swimmer, Kennedy. And John Kerry, oh, my goodness – what a loser of a candidate – how do you find these people? And let’s not forget Jefferson of freezer fame – such a fine up-standing character. And the lovely Maxine Waters. OH, all I have to do is ask your James Carville ….he will tell me you just drag a dollar bill through a trailer park and you find all you want.
Which brings up another point. What is wrong with your mental make-up that dictates you must DESTROY your enemies rather than just defeat them? I think I know that it is because you fear if left standing, it’s possible they still may beat you whereas destroyed they haven’t a chance. That appeals to your character and your followers characters as well.
What has prompted this open letter is your refusal to remove me from your mailing list. I’ve written and requested to be removed. I’ve clicked on unsubscribe, I’ve even offered to spy on you for the Republicans as I get all your letters and plans of action, etc. Nothing seems to remove me from your mailer. In exchange for each letter, I’ll just plan to write another open letter which you will never read, but hopefully the public will.
Have a nice day,
A non-admirer from
the great state of Texas
This is a followup to America is History which I wrote and submitted to Digg last week. Our government made a surprising move which is delaying the collapse for a short while, but the collapse is beyond avoidable. This is my attempt to warn you — protect whatever assets you have as best you can, and prepare for a long dark age.
On that day, it appeared certain that WaMu, then Morgan-Stanley, then Goldman-Sachs were going to wipe out, and the domino effect would follow. However, right after my original post, Bush, Paulson & Bernanke finally emerged from their caves to announce we were in horrible trouble. Hell, we knew that, and so did they (well not the sheeples). So Dodd blurted out “meltdown” and Congress, which had surely also known disaster was coming, finally had to go to work – now that’s different! The bailout solution presented is horrible! If our 537 elected officials had done anything right before this housing/mortgage crisis began, this whole dilemma may never have arisen.
This I shall elaborate just a tad more. The trigger which began the housing/mortgage fiasco was NOT caused by greedy anyone, nor by overpaid CEO’s, nor by inadequate regulation. It was caused by The Fed manipulating interest rates, which caused first the housing boom and then, after millions of ARM’s had been stupidly signed by sheeples, The Fed raised the rates, causing ARM payments to rise to impossible and triggered so many defaults. Meanwhile our brain-dead Congress just watched the turds roll by, as they’ve done since 1911 when they created The Fed.
By now you should pretty well know all that, but there is at least one action you should take TODAY (because time is fleeting!), an email complaint to your congressmen – this site makes it quite easy and you can/should edit their form prose to say what YOU think! America is in collapse way beyond recovery, hell we might as well say goodbye now.
Just this morning we got a really shocking revelation started it’s rounds on Digg (if you wish to promote and comment). THEY KNEW this was coming months ago. Ahhhhh, NOW we get the news!
Well, Congress is now battling not only about the original language, but also trying to add all sorts of riders to the bill. Those riders are largely from socialist Democrats, and I heard this woman on the TV insisting on even more dictatorial riders, so I went to see who the hell that was, and sho’ nuf, it was Hillary! If a bunch of these riders should pass, the $700 billion cost-guess will mushroom to the stratosphere. Actually, ANY bailout bill will make everything worse, not better. For those who get hurt in the process, well gee, you did it to yourselves, deal with it!
Every time that Congress spends our stolen tax-dollars, some entity, corporate or person, gets a benefit at the your expense. They call it transfer payments, aka robbing Peter to pay Paul. Paul gets the benefit, while Peter gets the shaft. The only moral and Constitutional exception is defense (note that I did not say offense).
Again as I have said often, the root cause bringing our collapse is our failure to insist on basic morality — the right to life and the right to sustain that life and to maximize our happiness. I hope you will read enough while you are here to grasp how simple it could be! Maybe you would also like to come back from the dark age? If there is a next time, this is the foundation to do it right.
