weather related supply problems around the
globe, one of the world's leading food
distribution companies, Sysco Corporation,
is advising clients and their customers
that the recent freeze across North America
has significantly impacted growing

From Bloomberg:
President
Barack Obama proposed a budget that would
raise the taxes of the highest U.S.
earners, multinational corporations and
oil and gas companies, reviving revenue
provisions that Congress has rejected or
brushed aside before.
The budget, released today in Washington,
would bring back pre-2001 tax rates on
income and capital gains for individuals
earning more than $200,000 annually and
married couples making more than
$250,000. The estate tax would return to
2009 levels with a $3.5 million
per-person exemption and a 45 percent top
rate. Under a law Obama signed in
December, lower rates expire at the end
of 2012.
"The president was unable to reverse the
Bush tax cuts this past year with a
majority in each house of Congress, so
it's very difficult to see how he will be
successful over the next two years with
the Republicans firmly in control of the
House" said Neal Weber, managing director
in charge of RSM McGladrey's Washington
national tax office.
The budget plan would limit itemized
deductions for top earners to 28 percent,
curbing the value of tax breaks for
charitable contributions, home mortgage
interest ...

From UKIP Nigel
Farage
It is now
irrelevant who you vote for in National
Elections, as the real government of
Europe is the European Commission. UK
Independence Party leader Nigel Farage
Speaking about his vision of a Europe of
Free self-governing democracies, friendly
and trading with each other.
Now
Greece is controlled by the European
Commission and Finland in an obviously
brilliant move said "NO" to the EU and
becoming part of the EU.
A group
of UnElected, by the people, wanna be
dictators, telling Europe how they will
live and denying them the mastery of
their own destinies, trapping them inside
what is effectively an economic
prison.
As time
has gone on the idea of the European
Union with public opinion has steadily
dropped and the European Union itself is
downright fraud.
Referendums using the
democratic solution is the only way to
proceed or else events like Greece will
be commonplace throughout
Europe...

The National Inflation Association (NIA)
today officially declared Ron Paul the
front-runner to win the upcoming 2012
presidential election. NIA is very
pleased that Ron Paul won the 2011
Conservative Political Action Conference
(CPAC) straw poll of who attendees want
to receive the GOP nomination to run for
President in 2012. This is the second
year in a row that Ron Paul won the CPAC
straw poll. He received 30% of the vote
compared to Mitt Romney, who came in
second with 23%. Sarah Palin received
only 3% of the vote. 3,742 total people
voted in the straw poll, which was twice
as much as four years ago.
It is funny how when Ron Paul wins the
straw poll, CPAC organizers are sure to
say right before the results are read
that, "It's not a Gallup poll." However,
if it was Mitt Romney winning the straw
poll, they would say no such thing. This
reminds us of the mainstream media's all
out efforts to marginalize Ron Paul
during the 2008 election season. Every
time the GOP candidates would have a
televised debate, FOX News would have a
text message poll where viewers can send
a text to vote on who they thought won
the debate. Whenever Ron Paul would
perform favorably in these FOX News text
message polls and receive a large
percentage of the text message vote, FOX
News would unbelievably make up excuses
to try and discredit their own polling
technology!
After a GOP candidate debate on May 15th,
2007, FOX News conducted one of these
text message polls on who won the debate.
In this particular instance, Ron Paul
didn't even win the text message vote.
Mitt Romney won with 29% and Ron Paul
came in a close second with a respectable
25%. However, even when finishing in
second place, FOX News felt the need to
say, "How is Ron Paul's numbers so high?
We've had so many emailers say that
clearly some online communities are
messing with the outcome." (While one FOX
News host was saying this, the other one
was saying "absolutely" in the
background.)
Please see the NIA blog for a video we
just posted of this incidence, as well as
a video we posted of how FOX News worked
overtime to try and downplay and
discredit Ron Paul's 2010 CPAC straw poll
win. We also posted a video from
this year's CPAC showing the ignorant
comments of Donald Trump, who claims Ron
Paul can't get elected. (How many
elections has Donald Trump won? Ron Paul
has been elected to Congress eleven
times.):
http://inflation.us/blog/2011/02/the-political-establishment-is-afraid-of-ron-paul/
NIA believes that Ron Paul's beliefs
reflect the majority of educated
Americans. In our opinion, Ron Paul's
CPAC straw poll win two years in a row is
very significant and suggests that our
country is ready to move away from the
Republican establishment that acts
exactly like Democrats once in power.
Mitt Romney is a part of the Republican
establishment that has bankrupted our
nation and put it on the brink of
hyperinflation. Ron Paul is the only real
candidate who would implement real
change.
It is not Ron Paul supporters who are
somehow able to manipulate the CPAC straw
polls and FOX News text message polls,
but it is the mainstream media who is
able to continuously manipulate the minds
of Americans into believing Ron Paul is
some kind of a "radical" candidate who is
unfit for office and has no chance of
being elected. Ron Paul is the only sane
candidate in an insane Washington, DC,
which thinks it is OK to print $4.6
trillion out of thin air in order to
bailout investment banks on Wall Street
that produce nothing and Americans would
be better off without.
During the MSNBC GOP debate back on
January 24th of 2008 in Boca Raton, FL,
Mitt Romney was given the opportunity to
make 13 comments totaling 21 minutes and
11 seconds, while Ron Paul was only
allowed to make 6 comments totaling 6
minutes and 31 seconds. At least MSNBC
allowed Ron Paul to debate. He was banned
from the January 6th, 2008, FOX News GOP
debate in Milford, NH. Despite being
banned, Ron Paul still received 10% of
the GOP vote in NH. Rudy Giuliani, who
was allowed to debate, ended up only
receiving just 3% of the
vote.
In the 4Q of 2007, Ron Paul was able to
raise $20 million and ended the year with
$7.8 million in cash on hand. Ron Paul
doubled John McCain's fund raising during
the quarter of $10 million. In fact, John
McCain's campaign was broke at the end of
2007 and had $1.6 million in
debt.
Ron Paul's $20 million in fundraising
came from an amazing 130,000 individual
donors. Ron Paul had real support from
what was probably the majority of
educated Americans who actually took the
time to learn the truth about the
candidates and their positions on all the
issues. Despite this, the media did
everything in their power to ignore Ron
Paul and manipulate people into believing
he had no chance of winning. They
declared John McCain the frontrunner,
despite the fact that he held the same
positions as the Democrats on nearly
every major important economic
issue.
The media described John McCain as a "war
hero", yet Ron Paul received triple the
amount of contributions from military
donors. Ron Paul received more donations
from military workers during
the primary than McCain, Huckabee,
Romney, and even Obama combined.
Considering that Ron Paul was the only
GOP anti-war candidate, this says a lot
about the current foreign policy of our
country and if members of our military
believe our current wars are worth
fighting.
With the
incredible growth over the past few years
of alternative media organizations that
speak the truth like NIA and the rapid
decline of the mainstream media, when the
2012 election comes around, more
Americans than ever will be educated to
the truth about the U.S. economy and the
candidates running for President. With
food inflation likely to become America's
greatest crisis over the next 12 months,
just like it currently is in Egypt, and
Ron Paul by far having the most knowledge
about the Federal Reserve and how it is
responsible for the world's food
inflation crisis, we believe Ron Paul
will have a serious chance of winning the
GOP primary and 2012 Presidential
election.
