Links for July 17th through July 18th

These are my links for July 17th through July 18th:

  • Investors.com – It’s Not An Option – It took just 16 pages of reading to find this naked attempt by the political powers to increase their reach. It's scary to think how many more breaches of liberty we'll come across in the final 1,002.
