General / Egg price manipulation reference needed
« on: March 08, 2010, 11:12:00 AM »
Can someone help me with reference to egg price manipulation via government health warnings.
A long time ago one of the shows mentioned that the Hoover (?) or Roosevelt (?) government issued health warnings/guidelines about egg consumption as way to control the price of eggs. It was done to reduce demand in a market that they thought had gone too high.
I am having a lot of difficulty finding a quotable reference to this online (google, startpage, wikis).
Can anyone provide a reference or suggestion on where else to search?

General / Bludging (mooching) Pilgrims - Are you one?
« on: February 28, 2006, 11:47:05 PM »
The AMP Program
As discussed on tonight's show (28 Feb 06) I believe that many of the BBS members are mooching liberty ("bludging" in oz). The situation is analogous to the unworkable socialism of the early pilgrims where members of the society would leech off the efforts of others.
I fully support the voluntary nature of the AMP Program. I also relish that participation in Free Talk Live is free. I also understand that $3 a month is a lot of money to some people.
What I will not believe is that all 83% of BBS members are too destitute to afford $3 per month!
If you can't afford $3/month then fine, that's your reality. If you support other Freedom activities then you know you're already doing your bit. If you can't afford financial contributions so you give your time then you also know that you're doing your bit. The magic is that each of us only has to do a little bit to have an enourmous effect.
If you are doing nothing but whingeing and complaining or just getting off on your own gums flapping then you are bludging off the rest of us that actually do something.
If you are not living in poverty, or supporting Freedom already, then it is just unwillingness or sheer laziness on your behalf that you are not a member of the AMP program. If you can't hold up your hand and say that you know in your heart that you are supporting Freedom and Liberty then frankly you're wasting everybody's time and you belong back in the cesspit with the sheeple and drones.
How can I find $3 a month?
When exactly do you think is the time to start doing something: Tomorrow?; Next week?; Next Month?; "When I get around to it"? The time is right now!
Sad Excuses
Doing one little thing is all you need to do so that you can hold your head high and say "Yes, I'm actually doing something for Freedom and Liberty"

- If you give to a charity then cut it back by $3
- If you buy a hamburger and chips once a month then stop eating your Freedom and give $3
- If you give your kids pocket money then cut it back by $3 a month and help buy Freedom for their future
- If you buy a six-pack of beer each month then just buy four and give the $3
- If you buy a packet of cigarettes each month then cut back and give the $3
- If you subscribe to all the cable tv channels then cut back $3 worth

Sad Excuses
- "but it's too hard" - rubbish, you're being lazy. Pull your finger out and get fair dinkum.
- "but $3 won't make a difference" - piffle, it makes all the difference to a collective movement.
- "but $3 is all I have for a little luxury each month" - how much luxury will you have in a police state?
Doing one little thing is all you need to do so that you can hold your head high and say "Yes, I'm actually doing something for Freedom and Liberty"
