Socialism: Preempt the American Train Wreck

9/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Nora Firestone's follow-up to her longtime opposition to the rise of socialism in America
Nora Firestone hosts The Nora Firestone Show on Freedom 1110 AM, WKQA radio.
As frustrating as it is to have arrived at the point that presidential candidates are campaigning on the socialism platform and, worse yet, that so many American citizens are either ignorant or malevolent enough to help promote the so-called virtues of mandatory charity, social engineering and government control over your life, it's more important than ever to broaden the soap box and beat the drum louder. Here's another follow-up to Nora Firestone's longtime opposition to the growth of government and rise of ​​socialism in America. Let it inspire and empower you to dig your heals in now along the slippery, slimy anti-American "socialist slope" toward the ultimate agenda: the downfall of America and the disheartening and disempowerment of freedom-loving American spirits.

I've written about the power of the virtue of gratitude for almost 10 years, and I've been observing and promoting the virtues of the true American principles that foster and facilitate the powers of creativity, innovation, enterprise and entrepreneurship, compassion and humanitarianism through voluntary charity and more for decades.
This two-part series, airing Nov. 16 and 23, 2017, encourages us to explore and apply a deep sense of gratitude to our appreciation of true American virtues and principles and act to preserve, promote and perpetuate them however possible in the year ahead. The freedom to make our own decisions, design the courses of our own lives, choose our priorities and obligations according to our own values, and earn, save, spend, share and invest our money, time, energy and other resources as we see fit are all rights to be cherished, protected, preserved and promoted from generation to generation of freedom-loving individuals. Listen to Part One here now. Tune in to AM 1110, WKQA radio, on the air or online, from 1 - 2 p.m. Eastern time Nov. 23 for Part Two, pre-recorded with co-host Drew Nickell earlier in the week.

Paris Climate Accord, American Activism and More, with Martha Boneta and Drew Nickell

Liberty-loving activist Martha Boneta on the air
​Guest ​Martha Boneta joins Nora Firestone and co-host Drew Nickell during an hour on President Trump's withdrawal from Paris climate accord, property rights and more.
Boneta, who owns Liberty Farm in Paris, Virginia, and was recently named executive vice president of Citizens for the Republic, a grassroots conservative group based in Alexandria, has gained national attention as a result of disputes with the Piedmont Environmental Council regarding her property and has reportedly produced evidence of collusion between the environmental council, government officials and real estate "professionals" in an effort to force her off her own property.
​Now a liberty-loving property-rights activist, Boneta also received a joint senate and House commendation from the Virginia General Assembly for outstanding service to the state and nation and was named one of the nation’s “50 Most Amazing Women” by Country Woman magazine.

The Irreparable Dangers of a Cashless Society and Other Aspects of Global Technocracy

Patrick Wood, editor in chief at Technocracy News and Trends
Patrick Wood, Technocracy News
I knew I was onto something while warning people since 2009 that our government was sneaking us toward an all-electronic, cashless society in order to track, tax and withhold at will the fruits of what we generate in order to grow and promote an all-powerful socialist -- or worse -- new political system in America. "Social engineering; socialism or worse; the ultimate control over your lives," I warned. People thought I was crazy, a conspiracy theorist. I thought they were blind. But here it is, and it turns out that I'd only identified the iceberg's slippery, numbing tip. What Patrick Wood, editor in chief of Technocracy News and Trends and author of Technocracy Rising, has to say about this and other movements will force you question your sense of how thick and vast the ice spreads beneath the surface of visibility.

The American Real Estate Ponzi Scheme: Is History Repeating Itself?

2/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Easy Money and the American Real Estate Ponzi Scheme book cover
Author John Agostinelli
Author Christopher Michaud
Longtime real estate industry experts John Agostinelli and Christopher Michaud, authors of Easy Money and the American Real Estate Ponzi Scheme, had front row seats during the great recession and witnessed the strange lending practices that blew up the housing bubble, created disastrous consequences for government-endorsed loans, and hurt low to moderate income people and the communities they lived in. Not only did government create the problem, they say, but government's reaction to the crisis made matters worse. Agostinelli and Michaud say history is repeating itself right in front of us, and if we do nothing to stop the volatility in real estate markets, we risk the impending doom of the next housing collapse.
