True inflation rate 27.67 percent for past 12 months: Commodity Price Index

February 15th, 2011 | Author: Posted by Ben Hart

We keep hearing that inflation remains relatively low.

But a look at this Commodity Price Index chart indicates that the real inflation rate was over 20 percent for the past 12 months, more than 30 percent for food — even higher for commodities we really need to live.

Cotton is up 132 percent. Agricultural raw materials up 39 percent. Oil up 21 percent. Coal up 36 percent. Metals up 57 percent. Coffee up 70 percent. Wheat up 62 percent. Beef up 39 percent. Fish up 31 percent. Hard logs up 19 percent. Soft logs up 27 percent. Rubber up 79 percent. Wool up 57 percent. Fertilizer up 39 percent. Soy beans up 42 percent. Corn up 58 percent. Silver up 60 percent. Industrial Inputs Price Index up 51 percent. Commodity Food Price Index up 30 percent. Commodity Fuel Price Index up 20 percent. Overall Commodity Price Index up 20 percent.

This just over the last 12 months!

Let’s see, what else do we need to live?

Can you say catastrophe?

We Need A Real Equal Rights Admendment

OLD Equal Rights Amendment

Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification

NEW EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT

Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied, abridged or enhanced by the United States or by any State on account of sex, race, station, position or office.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification

This will eliminate all the special privileges for special born laws and the unjust hate crime laws.

Never do your enemy a small injury

From Dr. Pournelle at Chaos Manor

Of course the burnings are a tactical error. Never do your enemy a small injury. This will infuriate the Muslims in the same way that lobbing a missile into the Mosque of the Two Aspects in Medina would infuriate them, while doing nothing to intimidate them; that is, if you are going to engage in acts of terror, make them effective. Don't galvanize the enemy with small insults. And for those who are unable to figure it out on their own, I am not advocating the bombardment of Medina. I'd be far more likely to assent to assisting the Israelis in dismantling the Iranian nuclear establishment. Note also that I have not yet done that, either. Not that anyone is asking my assent or advice in that matter.

Regulating the Bill of Rights Away

The current administration plan is to not go after Second Amendment Rights directly, but to use new safety and health regulation powers granted to them by the Health Bill. This is step 2, remember LEAD is now by law a bad substance, ask the duck hunters (just like the EPA Carbon regulation that were snuck in a few months ago). The Czars have the civic and moral DUTY to help us and keep the sheeple safe. In the pipe line after the ammo costs go up are additional taxes because of the "health cost" caused by ammunition overloading the guv'ment medical system's. They will be using the precedents set by Tobacco Legislation. Think of it this way using tobacco as the example.

Tobacco Example Pack of Cigarettes cost .50$ + State and Fed Taxes 3.50$ = $4.00 Cost to You

Current Cost of Box of 30-30 Ammo = $15.00 with current Federal Taxes

Box of 30-30 Ammo (Lead Free) to cost 20.00$ + (x7 using Tobacco Formula) NEW State and Fed Taxes 140.00$ = $160.00 NEW Cost to You

This wont happen overnight but it only took the guv'ment 20 years to raise a pack of butts from .50$ to 5.00$. I suspect with this group of "learned gentlemen and women", we the people, wont have anywhere near that amount of time.
