Will The Barter Economy Make A Comeback?

With all the turmoil in the economy under the Obama administration, the future, at least for the next few years is beginning to look dim. Continued job losses. the failing pensions of many retiring baby boomers and the increasing burden on Social Security and Welfare programs, plus another wave of home foreclosures could spell economic disaster. Tax revenues are declining as government expenditures are climbing leading to the inevitable increased burden upon those parts of the economy still functioning.

What can citizens who have been disenfranchised by a non-representative government do to survive these tough economic times ahead?

In this Washington Post story "Barter system reborn", many are already using Craigslist to barter for goods and services.

Websites connecting people to swap goods and services have popped up, such as Trash Bank, where a roofer can exchange services with a dentist, or a truck can be swapped for a wood stove etc.

In the depression of the 1930s communities established their own Depression Barter System, such as this Virginia Masonic Lodge http://www.srmason-sj.org/council/journal/dec00/dodson.html

There is also renewed interest in the use of Community Currencies as an alternative to the dollar, as seen in this extensive list...

http://www.schumachersociety.org/local_currencies/currency_groups.html#local

Wealth Hacker discusses starting a community currency on their site...

http://www.wealthhacker.com/tag/alternative-currency/

Wether or not these alternatives ever become widely used remains to be seen, but what is clear is that many people see planning in advance for the worst case scenario and thinking outside the box as a viable way to survive our current and future economic landscape.

Fear and Loathing in the Obama Forums

Its always interesting to see the media dance around trying to explain what Barack Obama means when he says " We are going to fundamentally change the country,"

but BO's true believers are not shy in interpreting what he really means. Behold some snippets from The Obama Forum groups where honesty reigns.

Welcome to the official grassroots forum.

( NO WHITES ALLOWED )

Making the white middle class pay for our health insurance.

HA HA HA...the suckers are gonna PAY.

The white middle class should bear the burden of not only healthcare costs,
but everything else in this country.

They've had it too good for too long in their little racist lap of luxury.
They've sat back and let the Black Man build this country, while they
just took and took and took.

It's time for the racist white middle class in America to pay up!

The US private healthcare industry accounts for approximately 15% of US GDP.
They must be all be crushed to pave way for centralised healthcare.

This is the first real step towards Communist collectivism.

Praise Obama!

Keeping it real for Obama.

Whitey needs to pay. They are our slaves now. It is there responsability to pay the taxes and our Obama care.

I cant wait for this. It will help send the uppitty white middle class, along with them filthy spics, into poverty. And make it criminal not to have health care. We can even force them to take vaccines.

__________________

Healthcare costs will drop significantly once the useless old and sick folks die off.
More for the rest of us then.

The privileged white masses make up the majority of the old and sick.
I really can't see Universal Healthcare being truely fair unless it's
coupled with a euthenasia programme.

Hurry Socialism!!!

No longer will 10% of the population control 90% of the wealth.
No longer will the wealthy oppress the poor.
No longer will the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

It's time that America joined the world community of Socialism.

Obama Youth Brigade Passes in the Senate!

Oh what a glorious day comrades! Oh what a glorious day for our Cause! Our Strong Black Presidents Youth Brigade program has passed in the Senate! It will move next to the House for further approval.

This is huge my brothers and sisters. The day of reckoning against the evils of White Capitalist Greed has come!

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LI...n=1&vote=00108

Yes We Can!

We are cutting a deal in the house now. ACORN will have a big role in this, as they have been looking for an "enforcement" arm to keep blacks in houses where they choose not to pay the mortgage any more. We ultimately want to let black folks "shop" for white homes that they would like to live in, and ACORN will finally have to muscle to throw whitey out on his ass. Tricking all of these stupid whites to vote for this has been easier than expected, but it does not matter because Obama can make it happen anyway.

Also, our agenda for putting the military on the streets to control civilian populations is way ahead of schedule. We just dispatched a whole armed squad of military police to patrol the streets in Alabama, and no one even noticed. We even did this without the governor's approval. Troops returning from Iraq are now receiving this training and practicing in white suburban neighborhoods.

I can not wait till next year, when Obama's private security forces are formed. Its hard to believe that we have accomplished so much in only 2 months, and whitey is still in denial. My brothers, we are serving our lord well and will be blessed.

For those in doubt, this bill is obviously a jumping point for futher military reforms, many of which we can pass through without the public actually knowing what's in them. Look at how many earmarks Obama, praise His name, has snuck past those cracker capitalist radicals! It's OUR movement now, and we can do whatever we want, and we don't have to tell anyone!

been monoriting the right wing nut forums Brothers,,,,,,whitey bout to shit he self


every mother****ing thing we tell that mother****er here become true and he still cant accept the truth unless rush linbough tell it to him,,,,,reminds me of that crazy mother****er hitler not wanting to accept reality

Frank Ricci: The left's newest Joe the Plumber-Sarah Palin style target.

In his FrontPageMagazine.com article, Gregory Gethard lays out the evidence of a building smear campaign by groups such as the left-wing lobbyist group People for the American Way and other noted leftist luminaries last seen smearing Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher and Sarah Palin

Ricci became famous as the plaintiff in Ricci v. DeStefano, the fireman who sued the New Haven, Connecticut, fire department to enforce merit-based promotions. The Second Court of Appeals, on which Sonya Sotomayor sat, issued an unsigned decision against him. The Supreme Court embarrassed Sotomayor on the eve of her Senate hearings by overturning that decision without a single justice siding with Sotomayor's reasoning.

FULL ARTICLE

What a tangled web they weave...

Glenn Beck lays out the incestuous and corrupt connections between the Obama administration and Goldman Sachs, then has a surprisingly frank conversation with the CEO of overstock.com Patrick Byrne,about the government role in corruption.

AN OBAMA OFFICIAL'S FRIGHTENING BOOK ABOUT CURBING FREE SPEECH ONLINE

New York Post writer Kyle Smith reveals the radical mind of yet another Czar.

When it comes to the First Amendment, Team Obama believes in Global Chilling.

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law professor who has been appointed to a shadowy post that will grant him powers that are merely mind-boggling, explicitly supports using the courts to impose a "chilling effect" on speech that might hurt someone's feelings. He thinks that the bloggers have been rampaging out of control and that new laws need to be written to corral them.....

Islam, truth is stranger than fiction.

Shall we quote from the holy book?

Quran 52:24 Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded.

Also in Surah 76:19 Allah promises fresh youths to Muslim men.

And round about them shall go youths never altering in age; when you see them you will think them to be scattered pearls.

This is but a sample of the numerous pedophilic references in the Koran and other "holy" texts. Any Muslim who believes in the truth of Islam is guilty of supporting child abuse. More examples to come.

Al-Qaida warns Muslims in America to leave in preperation for new attacks.

WorldNet Daily has published an article detailing possible plans for another 9/11 style attack on America. Detailing information from an interview by a Pakistani journalist of the new al-Qaida field commander in Afghanistan of a Hiroshima style attack from some form of weapon of mass destruction smuggled across the Mexican border.

New movie shows reality is scarier than fiction.


From the creators of Relentless, comes a new film that will challenge the way you look at the world.

There is a new movie about radical Islam and their eery comparisons with Hitler's Nazi campaign that should be considered must see viewing for every American.

Obsession the Movie is now available to order on DVD, and while it is being screened at some film festivals and select cities, there is not yet a distributor brave enough to put this into wide release. The movie uses video from mideast sources that our news channels have chosen to keep from our view. No interpretation is needed from pundits, only the raw truth spoken from the mouths of those who practice 'The Religion of Peace". Don't wait for the theaters, political correctness may keep it from ever showing up there, order a DVD and show it to as many people as possible.

Some comments from those in the biz...

“Obsession is both scary and riveting! Each and every one of us should feel obligated to show Obsession to as many people as we can. Obsession should serve as a wake-up call to the free world to confront the threat now, before it is too late."

Joel Surnow
Executive Producer “24”

"Obsession is one of the most powerful, expertly crafted and undeniably important films I've seen this year. This courageous, utterly gripping expose' deserves the attention of every American -- and merits serious consideration for the Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary."

Michael Medved
Nationally syndicated radio host, film critic, and "Eye on Entertainment"


From the film's website:

Almost 70 years ago, Europe found itself at war with one of the most sinister figures in modern history: Adolf Hitler. When the last bullet of World War II was fired, over 50 million people were dead, and countless countries were both physically and economically devastated. Hitler’s bloody struggle sought to forge the world anew, in the crucible of Nazi values. How could such a disaster occur? How could the West have overlooked the evil staring it in the face, for so long, before standing forcefully against it?

Today, we find ourselves confronted by a n
