I have recently discovered a woman named Ann Barhardt. I have watched her "The Economy is Going To Implode" YouTube series and have read here religious/societal/political commentaries.
My problem?.... I can't figure this woman out.
Either she's the most "free" person I know, speaking truth that has been blocked/subvereted for many, many years in America ...
... or she is just certifiably nuts .....
Any comments on this thread are welcome.
Disclaimer: I am a father or two, a husband, now living in the Midwest, raised in the NYC/CT area. I am a committed, conservative Catholic, trying to live for Him and clean out my church of any leftover garbage. My political leanings are traditional and mostly conservative, however, I have a very strong libertarian streak in me ... as do most liberty loving Americans.
Ann pledged not to pay her federal income taxes on some constitutional grounds.
In her October 27, 2012 blog post, she said the IRS claims she owes in the six figures. She also posted a Wells Fargo bank statement showing that the IRS levied the entire account.
She claims the IRS will be coming after business accounts, car, and house.
If anyone knows more about her tax situation, I'd appreciate the information.

I beg to differ. Her only problem in the looks department is her hairdo. OMG. BALD, would be a better look. With almost ANY other hairdo she would be attractive.
Send her over to Fox News and let their hair & makeup people do their magic (without input from her).
She looks like “the girl next door”, but she’s not afraid to speak her mind. So far, I haven’t been able to find fault with anything she’s said. Besides, I might have more respect for the phonies in Washington DC if they would be more like her and call a jack-ass a jack-ass instead of “my good friend”, and anyone who can tell Lindsey Gramnesty to shove it up his @ss has her head on straight.
Suspect that she does hear from God, She is facing down the American Nazi party and at the rate she is going I and she suspect she will end up a martyr.
So as analogys go, you prove the point.
While Joan of Arc is light years above, both in effect and saint qualities, these are dark days, with men of low morals. She fits her times like many unsung heros.
Joan of Arc is not in the same class as Moses, we are talking patriarch vs taxi cab driver here, why go on?
We should have a problem with any of this cult of personality type reaction for anyone on our side. We put people on too high of a pedestal where they are looked at higher than our values. It also sets us up for disappointment as people are flawed and we then end up judging the values based on the failures of individuals versus letting values stand on their own. Cult of personality is how the left operates.
I heard she has accepted the Catholic faith, not raised in it. Does anyone know what her faith tradition was before she followed Catholicism?
If she would lose the profanity she would be more effective.
Having said that, at least she has some fire in her belly. That’s a lot more than you can say for most in this age of lukewarmness.
I couldn't agree more and I will concede that I may be jumping the gun in my comparison. But the fact remains that there are certain similarities, with Ann and with the times ahead.
While Ann does use some profanity, it’s mainly for effect. While a good, hearty, “Bullsh!t” interjected in any sentence dealing with economic platitudes is generally proper, I don’t recall her ever using the Lord’s name in vain. While one may be impolite in some circles, the other is a sin mentioned in the Ten Commandments.
Honest,fearless,forthright,principled.
Her economic video series is a must see if you want the unvarnished truth.
The only person in the financial world who speaks truth to power.
She can be in my foxhole anyday, because the enemy would not have a chance.
Her blog is www.Barnhardt.biz
Her frequent tweets show up there as well.
Courage and humor are two of her most distinct qualities.
You are differing with what she said about herself, not with me.
I said she’ll never marry because she has more testosterone (guts, fearlessness) than most men that aren’t Navy Seals......
Perhaps Ann wants martyrdom, and wants it to be for a good cause— like resistance to tyranny, Marxism, communism, racism, overall collapse, and for saving the country and for religious liberty. We all have dreams to stand for God and country to the death.
Ann seems supernaturally courageous, or certifiably insane.

(Or something like that.).
She scares the hell out of me because she is right most of the time. I fear for her life but she is as tough as they get. Wish more were like her.
I’ll satnd with Ann anytine!
Her explanation of (basically) the ‘Debt to Asset’ ratio of the banks was staggering and sobering ... we would ALL be bankrupt (and maybe in prison) if we had the numbers (50X, 80X, 575X !!!) like these ...
Like all prophets, Ann may seem extreme at times.
I can’t always agree with her, but I always consider the things she says.
sometimes she uses profanity for effect, but other times it’s borderline taking the Lord’s name in vain. Just count how many “My God,” statements she tosses in. Interesting message. Unfortunately she thinks she’s the only one in the trenches fighting this fight. In actuality, she’s the only one doing it the way she’s doing it.
