Apparently the law was negated in the 1980s but here are a few links about the 1 drop rule. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=5365 https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/06/us/louisiana-repeals-black-blood-law.html https://www.facebook.com/notes/greatest-africans-in-our-story/one-drop-rule-the-law-that-classifies-an-american-to-be-black-negro-or-now-afric/861546730524013

Yay! More divide and conquer memes for the idiots that can't piece together original thoughts and analysis. We didn't have enough of that already. Now for a word from our sponsors. This new meme is brought to you by your generous donations to deep state operatives who spend their waking hours trying to find new ways to keep the slaves angry at each other.

Baloney. Apparently .gov can't find enough monsters so they keep raising OBL from the dead. Paul Craig Roberts on the last fake story: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/11/paul-craig-roberts/another-fake-bin-laden-story/ Another Fake Bin Laden Story By Paul Craig Roberts

The elected government already controls the Fed, just not on a day to day basis. If they wanted to abolish/change the Fed, or impeach and replace the Fed Chairman, they could do so at any time. The Fed's not really any more independent than the EPA, the FDA, the SEC, etc. The Fed is in fact a political entity acting in response to political pressure, despite the myth to the contrary. If the Fed were abolished and the printing press given to Congress, one of two things would happen: (1) Congress would create some new agency to run monetary policy (2) Congress would directly control monetary policy (as in, vote to set interest rates) The first would be no change at all. The second would give us the same basic policy, but in a more erratic (and hilarious) form.

Well of course, there wouldn't be capital flight for no reason. Eventually, whether in the next recession or not, there's going to be a stock market crash, and the money isn't go to go into UST as per usual. It's going to leave USD denominated assets altogether. Consider what's been happening in Italy over the last year: capital flight, stocks and bonds down. If they were still on the lira, that'd be down too.

So basically, you're saying that US markets can't decline...?

Rrrrhurrrerrrurrrr

Things change. And anyway, you seem to be talking about small time investors, 401(k)s and so forth. The big money is much more flexible.

Foreign stocks and bonds, commodities.

... I knew it, Swordsmyth's a crypto-Mexican.

...but not into US stocks and bonds. ... Anyway, the DJIA hit about -300 before recovering; bond yields dropped then rose again to unchanged. Yields are still at about 3.15. My guess is stock needs to tank enough to bring them back to about 3.00 before this correction is over. ...assuming we don't start seeing bonds selling off with stocks.

I can't imagine why you'd consider that an improvement. Are you under the impression that Congress is full of hard money people...? As I said above, monetary policy would be pretty much the same: except perhaps a bit more erratic. But the general practice of using the Fed to finance deficit spending, and subsidize politically connected companies, would continue.

Suddenly Miss Linzi cares about murdering innocent people, right...

On its face, it sounds like he wants to hand over the printing press to the Congress/President, or at least give them more control over the Fed. To the extent that changes anything, it would probably make for even more reckless monetary policy, especially around election time. However, I don't think that should be taken too seriously. Really, he's just looking for someone to blame, as is his wont. If the Fed didn't exist, he'd be blaming bond market speculators and calling for the creation of a central bank to fight them.

Pundits were assuming (with good reason, I'd say) that the Dems would have a turnout advantage. But, AFAIK, that assumption wasn't baked into the polls, it was only being used to interpret the polls. E.G. If the poll says D+5, but you assume the Dems will have a turnout edge, you might think it's more like D+7. But the poll itself still says D+5.

I mean, it depends on what he replaced it with. But right now, he's begging the Fed to literally print more money to lower interest rates for him. I don't know who can honestly defend that.

Ummmmmmmm.....LOL

Do you honestly think that someone who signs up for Ashley Madison doesn't know what they are all about just because there is a new CEO, logo and motto? The name Ashley Madison is synonymous with "hook up site that specializes in married people who want to have affairs." I assume that all websites can be hacked. I assume they are also crooked enough to sell my information to the highest bidder. I also assume that they are in bed (pardon the pun) with the NSA and will give them full access any time it is asked. One of the things that Edward Snowden revealed is that the NSA found an exploit to crack SSL but didn't inform anybody because they wanted to be able to use it at will, but the exploit leaked out and black hat and white hat hackers were using it. The idea that your information on a site like Ashley Madison might be secure if they just didn't outsource to foreign nationals and/or bring those nationals here is extremely naive.

You really have said jack dannno and you normally don't. I talked about what was being discussed here. You used the opportunity to whore for your favorite pimp. And when I pointed out that your pimp's logic is flawed you didn't address it. Game, set, match.

This This And this.

Just about spewed my coffee all over the monitor.

Of course. While this plantation's entertainment is the presented version of the other plantation, the other plantation's entertainment is the presented version of this plantation.

Vote harder! This time it surely will be different. It's getting pretty weird and delusional when losing the popular vote is considered winning in a landslide.

So Trump's problem with the Fed is how they're managing the monetary system, not that they're managing the system in the first place or that it's a giant fraudulent ponzi scheme meant to strip people of their wealth/energy/labor. So, as usual, the truth is never touched upon, just more cover stories. (It's all scripted any way. The Fed, in its current form, has already been planned to be scrapped to eventually make way for the blockchain monetary system. Create the problem, manage the reaction, offer the solution.)

Nativist crap is popular here. I gave you an example. You ignored it and went on your never ending quest to pimp Stefan Molyneaux. You must have shares in his ad revenues or something. Edit: And you also ignored this. And no, I don't think the "We want to help other low IQ countries by preventing a brain drain" argument is valid either as the U.S. is academically behind many of the countries were the H1-B visa types are coming from. Lastly, I doubt you even know what the term nativist means.

Ashley Madison's business model makes no sense outsourcing or no outsourcing. Anybody can be hacked. You had people using government email addresses to sign up for a website based on adultery. Not a hookup website (there are plenty of them) where you might fight single people, swingers and cheaters, but a 100% "this is for having an affair" website. Not that I have never done something stupid in my life. Just not that particular brand of stupid. And yet.....Ashley Madison is still in business. Sucker born every minute I suppose.

:rolleyes: And for the record nothing from Mr. "defoower" is worth is worth my time anyway. But I specifically pointed out people who, on these forums, wanted to kill as in murder people just for crossing their land to get into the U.S. And no, I don't think the "We want to help other low IQ countries by preventing a brain drain" argument is valid either as the U.S. is academically behind many of the countries were the H1-B visa types are coming from. Lastly, I doubt you even know what the term nativist means.
