CyberWar by WikiLeaks Defenders Builds While Xipwire Accepts Funds

Is Wikileaks really to blame when newspapers
have already published the same memos?

Did you know that the hackers supporting Wikileaks
are NOT stealing credit card info, only protesting in
the same way people did in the 70's?

While Xipwire remains the only U.S. site accepting
funds for WikiLeaks, hackers conducting a DoS attack
on Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal are expected to
target Amazon next.

Dines has been predicting the collapse of paper money for decades - and it's all happening now.

"GOLDBUG!" - Book Review - A Lifetime of Investing Knowledge from James Dines
http://newsblaze.com/story/20101108160944mcco.nb/topstory.html

Mr. Dines' most telling statement about gold money vs. paper currency
is that he will believe paper is as good as gold when women get as
excited about receiving a paper ring as they do when they get a solid
gold ring.

Sara Palin is last in line with her complaints about printing money in
excess (QE2) but she is correct.

Audit the Fed.

Why do TV investment shows give such bad advice?

Why do TV business shows always ask the same advisors what
stocks to buy even when their picks are really poor investments?

Simple, they don't care if you make money, just so you keep watching.
