I predict a Browns team that will win:

"He was unbelievable," Holmgren said during his first public press conference in Cleveland this week. "He so wants this team to be a great football team for the people of this city and Browns fans all over the world and he challenged me. When you get that kind of support from your owner, that kind of sealed the deal."

Hell, Lerner has balls. I like that.

Beware U.S. Congress & Federal Executive and Judicial Branches:

See the picture in the video above? There's a title: It's called the U.S. Constitution! Click on it and watch a refreshing alternative to sitting idly by as the bums inside the beltway destroy the nation.

To all branches of the federal government:

The American people are tired of your ways. You are tanking the nation in a mountain of debt. Your actions are nearly tyranny. Your power has grown far beyond that allowed by the U.S. Constitution. Your non-elected bureaucrats ride mightily on the backs of the American taxpayer. You work for us! We are going to remind you of your arrogance one way or another. This "monster government" is wildly out of control. You bums are about to see a nation in 2010 take maters out of your hands and put decision-making back in the hands of state assemblies. We are going to defy your health care initiative. We are going to amend the Constitution. We are going to nullify your petty laws. We are going to starve you of our hard-earned dollars. We are going to remind you who is truly in charge.

All You Zombies

by Jim Quinn

"We know with certainty that our leaders have not prepared the country for this Crisis. As individuals, we also had the opportunity to prepare. Did you harvest the crops, fatten the livestock, cut the firewood, stockpile the propane, hoard ammunition and batten down your farmstead? Did you deepen your relationships with family and neighbors who would support you during a Crisis?

With a potentially devastating howling blizzard forecast in the near future, delay could be fatal. What if the blizzard lasted five years? There is no way to avoid this blizzard. The snow has begun to fall and Americans are concerned with Michael Jackson’s corpse, the breakup of Jon and Kate, Oprah’s future plans, Britney Spears’ weight, and whether President Obama should be bowing to the Japanese emperor.

Talking heads on the Sunday morning talk shows distract the public with meaningless drivel regarding polls and minor differences between the corrupt political parties. The bitter winds have begun to howl.

There is precious little time left, as the howling blizzard gains strength. You will need to hunker down for a long hard winter. Build close relationships, protect your family at all costs, don’t trust government officials, don’t expect the government to honor any fiscal promises, don’t trust the mainstream media, learn to live locally, buy a gun, buy some gold and silver, and be prepared to fight for the truth."

From TheBurningPlatform:

Wayne LaPierre is correct. American citizens are apprehensive and distrustful of their government. The government has taken over our financial system, our car industry, and now our healthcare system. The next logical step will be to take our guns. Americans that never considered owning a gun are now buying guns. The average middle class American knows they’ve been screwed by the ruling elite that have hijacked their country. The rage is palpable. Any effort by the Obama administration at gun control would produce an enormous backlash. Doug Casey recently assessed the risks in his essay Street Fighting Man:

“I’ve often wondered what would have happened in Germany after Kristallnacht if every Jew had been armed. None were, of course, because strict gun control had been imposed shortly after Hitler came to power, and like good little lambs, the population complied with the law. Bills are being discussed about things like a national firearms registry, reinstituting the so-called “assault weapons” ban, requiring secure locks on all weapons, prohibiting the import of ammunition, and levying a substantial tax on ammunition, among other things. No outright prohibition, because they know that would catalyze gun owners. But they keep dialing up the pressure, moving toward a de facto ban.

I’ll guess there are at least two to three million Americans who adhere to a couple of succinct mottos: 1. You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers, and 2. It’s better to be tried by twelve than carried by six. This is a group that could catch fire at some point.”

The Paul Krugmans, Nancy Pelosis, liberal MSNBC (owned by GE) talking heads and the Hollywood elite are troubled about potential violence. They should be worried. The American people are tired of being screwed. Strauss & Howe foresaw the disintegration of popular trust in government and financial institutions in the early stages of this Crisis:

“At some point, America’s short-term Crisis psychology will catch up to the long-term post-Unraveling fundamentals. This might result in a Great Devaluation, a severe drop in the market price of most financial and real assets. This devaluation could be a short but horrific panic, a free-falling price in a market with no buyers. Or it could be a series of downward ratchets linked to political events that sequentially knock the supports out from under the residual popular trust in the system. As assets devalue, trust will further disintegrate, which will cause assets to devalue further, and so on. Every slide in asset prices, employment, and production will give every generation cause to grow more alarmed. With savings worth less, the new elders will become more dependent on government, just as government becomes less able to pay benefits to them.

Before long, America’s old civic order will seem ruined beyond repair. People will feel like a magnet has passed over society’s disk drive, blanking out the social contract, wiping out old deals, clearing the books of vast un-payable promises to which people had once felt entitled. The economy could reach a trough that may look to be the start of a depression. With American weaknesses newly exposed, foreign dangers could erupt.”

The U.S. economy is in SHAMBLES. GM loses $1.15 BILLION and wants to start "re-paying" the government (AKA: YOU). We live a life of lies and deceit. Stock Market is up 134 points. What a frickin joke. We are in for a world of hurt. Guns, Ammo, Food.  I cannot offer better advice.

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Bertrand Russell

A recent blog from TheBurningPlatform titled "American Pie" is a must-read for those trying to understand the pace and dramatic nature of change (economic and social) taking place before our eyes today. This is a long article but well worth the read:

American Pie

A particularly salient quote from the article:

"There is a growing army of angry citizens who know they are being manipulated and controlled. The time is approaching when violence will be required to take the power back from the fat cats. When people lose everything they have worked their whole lives for, there is nothing left to lose. Once the financial system implodes, government will be helpless to print more worthless currency. The uprising that will occur during this Crisis will be bloody, as those in power will not relinquish control without a fight. The flag of the righteous and unified will ascend. Thinking Americans are what the ruling elite fear most."

The Collapse of America?

The Dire Message of Mr. David Walker

"A nation that violates the rights of its citizens cannot, in the long run, escape the consequences of its moral failure. When a nation with the unique strength of the United States does so systematically and over decades, the results must necessarily be catastrophic. The dire economic forecast of David Walker illustrates the connection between the moral and the practical. To regain our economic viability we must regain our moral viability." (complete article)

Helot on Wheels

"Nampa, Idaho, an otherwise pleasant and attractive community of about 80,000 people, is afflicted with a federally subsidized pilot program in which ten officers have been authorized to draw blood from motorists who refuse a breath test. Not surprisingly, this program -- through which several dozen people have been assaulted so far -- is abetting unhealthy appetites on the part of the "elite" officers who have gone through the training."

Am I missing something or shouldn't we be suspect when a company defaults on its unsecured debt and it's stock value increases by 33%? Just saying....

American Capital shares jumped 33% to close at $3.41.

"American Capital should realize a gain from the sale of its holdings, and the cash generated in the sale should improve the company's liquidity position at a time when capital and liquidity are sorely needed," Matthew Albrecht, a financials analyst at Standard & Poor's Equity Research, wrote in a note to investors.

But Albrecht also warned that the company is still negotiating with unsecured creditors after defaulting on its unsecured debts...." (full article)

How Far Does The Lawlessness Go?

Is the government a policeman or a felon?

By Karl Denninger 9/11/09

I'm beginning to wonder.

Those of you who have followed my writings for the last two+ years know that I have often remarked "where are the cops?" and in fact more than once asked:

Is the government a policeman or a felon?

The latter is a dangerous question should the answer ever be determined to be the latter, as it would be an open declaration that there is no rule of law.  It would instantly define the entire federal law enforcement apparatus, and those of the States and Localities that stood with the Federal Government, as nothing more than thugs with lots of guns.

That's not a good situation for what should be obvious reasons.

Out-of-control banana republic regimes usually wind up that way incrementally.  Rarely does a madman come to power and simply seize the crown.  Oh sure, it happens, but it nearly always incites immediate civil disorder and even open warfare, civil or (often) externally-promoted.  When Saddam invaded Kuwait it did not take long before the world responded with lots of guns, bombs and planes, as just one example.

But the slow, gradual co-opting of a government from inside out is another matter.  These sorts of regimes usually collapse of their own weight, but not before they take down huge swaths of the population with them, reducing them to squalor.  Thus it happened in Zimbabwe, Argentina and countless others over the years.

Has it happened in the United States already, but the people simply haven't woken up?  Two years ago, five, ten I would have instantly dismissed such a proposition as preposterous.

Now I'm not so sure.

Consider that we have had a group of people on Wall Street who were selling various security products that it is alleged they knew were worthless:

“OK still have this vomit?” a UBS employee wrote in September 2007 to a director, referring to a CDO with an investment-grade rating, according to the ruling.

“Pursuit has established probable cause to sustain the validity of a claim that the UBS defendants were in possession of material nonpublic information regarding imminent ratings downgrades on the notes it sold to the plaintiffs, information UBS withheld from the plaintiffs,” Superior Court Judge John Blawie wrote in a Sept. 8 opinion in Stamford, Connecticut. (continued)

Tell me we're not living in a Police State:

It's time to wake up America and demand that police recall that concept of "serve and protect" as opposed to rob and abuse!

Oh Wait! Here's another one just in:

Some more nazi thugs from Minnesota! It happened in February, 2009 but it's just making the news! No surprise there...

Many Gun Owners, the State and Media Agree; 2A Is No Longer Relevant

by Michael Gaddy
by Michael Gaddy
Recently by Michael Gaddy: Choose Your Weapons

As a government grows more and more intrusive on individual liberties, that government’s fear of the armed citizen increases exponentially, just as an armed robber fears a well-armed potential victim. Here in America in the last seventy plus years, our government and their stooges in the media have sought to relegate the right of a free people to keep and bear arms into a privilege, subject to government approval, rather than an inalienable right. Sadly, many gun owners have agreed to participate in this madness.

I have been consistent in my objections to asking permission and paying for the privilege to carry a weapon on my person, if and when I chose to do so. Yet, the majority of objections I receive to my position come from people who currently own guns and have jumped at the opportunity for government approval to do what they already have the right to do. Is this not an open acknowledgement to those in power the Second Amendment, and the remainder of the Bill of Rights, mean nothing and are subject to the whim of some elected criminal, bureaucrat, or an agenda wearing a black robe?

When I decided to write this article, I did not contact the government, submit to a background check, submit fingerprints, take a government endorsed writing class and pay for permission. What is the difference in the exercise of my inalienable right to free speech and my inalienable right to keep and bear arms? The difference is: the state currently fears my ability to resist tyranny with a firearm more than with words, but as we can see from the reaction of the government and its media lackeys to the spoken objections to the tyranny of socialized medicine, that is about to change.

In today’s political climate, if one dares to speak out about the intrusion of the state into every crevice of liberty and freedom, they are compared by the socialist mouth organ to Nazis, Hamas and Hezbollah.

If the First Amendment rights follow the pattern of the Second Amendment, only those who have been vetted by the state will be allowed to speak or write publicly, and then only after passing the prerequisite courses, state scrutiny, and of course, pay the required amount for the privilege.

I can see the stooges proudly proclaiming their newly paid-for right to speak and write, just as they do now with their permits to carry a concealed weapon. Then, many will lobby for reciprocity from other states the right to speak or publish, or perhaps even campaign for a national permit to exercise their First Amendment rights.

An American, exercising his inalienable right to keep and bear arms, recently became the focus of the state and the media in New Hampshire near where Obama was to appear. Chris Matthews and other members of the propaganda ministry were apoplectic. How dare anyone other than a government bottom feeder be allowed near the Messiah with a firearm? What would have happened had this man decided to exercise his First Amendment rights at the same time he was exercising his Second?

What did the state and the media fear most about this man with a gun? Was it the man, the gun, the spirit of the man, or perhaps it might have been his ethnicity? After all, according to the media, if he were there to object to the socialist plans of Obama that would reveal his latent racism. We all know, white people concerned about government taking over their health care want to shoot anyone who is only half white.

What a masterstroke it was for the state to get Boobus to admit the only rights he has are those subject to the "reasonable" restrictions of his masters. The precedent has been set and we have agreed; you must submit yourself before the god called government, pass their background checks, take their approved qualification course, submit the required monies and wait for your ID card certifying you have permission from the state to exercise at least one of your former inalienable rights!

If you, and/or a member of your family, are assaulted by a madman with a weapon while in a restaurant, on a school campus, in church, at the mall, in a bank, in the parking lot where you shop or work, in a carjacking or a mugging, or visiting Obama’s home town, you must remember, the only people allowed to defend their lives and those of their loved ones are those who have been sanctioned by the state to do so. That is freedom in America today, granted by the state, bought and paid for.

Through our inactions and apathy we have acknowledged the state to be the masters of our lives; perhaps we can apply for the privilege of having our own health care, the right not to be forcibly injected by some vaccine whose side effects are worse than the disease or the right not to be imprisoned in a FEMA camp. Remember, we traded our rights for security. It is turning out to be one heck of a bad bargain.

Resistance, anyone?

Need I say more?

Attention America:

Grab a few history books and read them. You have a battle on your hands and it's all about FREEDOM. This nation is in peril and we need to rid ourselves of a crazed federal government that is out of control. I would not hire Joe Biden to cut my grass. Now he's Vice President? Give me a break. This nation is in a path to disaster unless the "average" American begins to step up and get seriously involved.

The perfect method for neutering a man
and/or creating a "SHEEPLE" (aka Sheople):

Seattle Bank Teller Fired for Chasing, Apprehending Robber

SEATTLE —  A Seattle bank teller has lost his job because he ran down a would-be bank robber and held him until police arrived.

Jim Nicholson, who worked at a Key Bank branch, says he understands the bank's policy that employees comply with robbery demands and avoid dangerous confrontations. But he tells The Seattle Times that his instincts took over when the man demanded money during the Tuesday incident. (Cont.)

For you Ohioans...notice it's KeyBank! LOL

Not so funny:

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth
becomes a revolutionary act.”
-George Orwell

Animal Farm - 2009

"As we look through the window at the raucous party between the Pigs and the farmers it is impossible to distinguish between the imperial monarchists who taxed the colonies to such an extreme that it caused a revolution and the revolutionaries that have adopted the same characteristics and traits of those they revolted against.

The American people are like sheep being led to slaughter. Our Founding Fathers declared that the common people were in control. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government. The time has come to abolish the corrupt system and institute a new Government."

There you have it. What will it be? How much longer will the proletariet sit idle? Perhaps until you have nowhere else to turn and stare death in its face from starvation and chaos? It's up to you now.

The High Cost of Independence

"...Clark was offered his two son’s lives if he would just come out in support of the King.  To those of us who live so soft and comfortably 200 hundred years in their wake, it must seem astounding that with a broken heart, he said, “No”..."

Life.  Fortune.  Sacred Honor. (continued)

Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. (continued...)

Now this is funny:

"The Obama administration is dispatching four of its most senior foreign policy and security figures to Israel this coming week to urge the country to shelve any plan for a military strike to sabotage Iran's nuclear facilities, arguing that Obama's offer of engagement and talks with Iran deserves time to bear fruit."

This is pretty hilarious for a few reasons:

1. The State Department does NOT have four sane individuals to dispatch.

2. A strike on Iran should have happened 24 months ago.

3. Hillary Clinton suffers from a deficit of Intellectual Capacity.

4. To think that the State Department has even a single employee that represents America is nothing but a joke.

5. When is the last time a handful of Ivy Leaguers represented you or your opinion?

That said, it is high time that Americans realize a single root of much eveil: The U.S. State Department. Look into it if you have the time. Discover for yourself who they employ.

Al Qaeda-Linked American Terrorist Condemns, Mocks Obama in New Audio Tape

If you actually "trust" the average police officer then you are a fool. Do you realize that we have actually slipped into a fascist existence without the formal announcement? Your local police are no longer your defender or friend. They are generally now just militant--with the big threat of the "state" behind them. You are always wrong and they are always right. You have no rights. You have no standing. You have no position.

They will accost you on the streetside and accost you in your home. Did you send your kids to "safety town" last year? If so, you have indoctrinated your children to befriend the beast that will eventually consume them.

There is so much going on in the news today that it is impossible to keep up. The Obama administration is moving swiftly to keep everyone at bay as they nationalize industries, socialize health care and serfity taxpayers. We are in serious trouble. If you are not awake yet, time is running out to stop this Orwellian administration. Americans need to wake up to the fact that we are fast becoming a Corporatist-Nationalist-Socialist-Fascist-Police State! It is happening quickly. It is all over the news folks!

• Industries being nationalized
• A quiet socialist revolution taking place in health care
• Police forces from coast to coast out of control
• A president apologizing to foreign terrorists
• Spending money at an alarming rate--money we do NOT have
• Doubling the national debt in less than 24 months
• Wall Street in control of federal policy
• Veiled "bankrupties" that ignore the rule of law
• A stock market that booms as a company like GM falls
• Banks hording bailout money
• People hording ammunition and guns

If you haven't noticed, we are putting the recipe together very slowly for a major falling out very soon. I am not sure enough people are paying attention. I think the little "uptick" in the market was just enough to lull everyone back to sleep! Wow, time to buy more McMansions, SUVs and Chinese toasters! What the hell are we thinking?

It’s Getting Very Serious Now

Chuck Baldwin
NewsWithViews
May 12, 2009

First, it was a Missouri Analysis and Information Center (MIAC) report; then it was a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report; now it is a New York congressman’s bill. Each of these items, taken on their own, is problematic enough; taken together they portend “a clear and present danger” to the liberties of the American people. It is getting very serious now. (cont.)

Just so we're all clear: We are turning quickly into a FASCIST POLICE STATE. We are in for some serious trouble (and there will be serious consequences) if we continue down this path. I'm not sure how it happened but we have some very serious issues on our hands. We are basically now living under FASCIST rule. Think about that.

Who owns this joint? The Borah Building in downtown Boise provides temporary office space for Governor Butch Otter, who -- as a state employee -- doesn't actually own the building, nor does he pay the rent.

How Things Change Out From Under Us

Paul Craig Roberts
Chronicles Magazine
April 28, 2009

Anyone who has been around for a while and who pays any attention to the news sees many disturbing changes. Recently, I read a report that two children, ages seven and eight, had an altercation at school during recess. They were carted off in handcuffs by the police. The teachers or principal had dealt with the boys’ disagreement by calling in the law.

When I was a kid there were no age limits to the Second Amendment.

I wonder if the kids now have felonious assault records that will cancel their Second Amendment rights when they come of age.

When I was a kid there were no age limits to the Second Amendment. We all had firearms before we reached puberty. Anyone with the money could purchase a .22 caliber rifle at the local hardware store. If you were too young to see over the counter, the proprietor might call your parents to get an OK. You could purchase .22 caliber ammunition and shotgun shells at most any gas station.

None of us ever shot anyone or any farmer’s cow or mule. There were no gun accidents among my armed companions.

My grandmother never batted an eye when I walked out of her farmhouse with my grandfather’s shotgun. Guns were just a routine item. We all learned gun safety from the Boy Scouts. My grandmother only became concerned for my safety when I became the proud owner of a spirited horse..." (continued)

This is potentially big and it's something we better pay close attention to as it has the possibility to crumble what is left of the housing market:

Housing Bubble Smackdown:
Bigger Crash Ahead

"Lenders nationwide are sitting on hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes that they have not resold or listed for sale, according to numerous data sources. And foreclosures, which banks unload at fire-sale prices, are a major factor driving home values down."

"We believe there are in the neighborhood of 600,000 properties nationwide that banks have repossessed but not put on the market," said Rick Sharga, vice president of RealtyTrac, which compiles nationwide statistics on foreclosures..." (cont.)

So it looks like there's a good chance the banksters are mounting another blackmail scheme against the American taxpayer: Just threaten to sell all of the foreclosed-upon houses at firesale prices all at once unless we cough up more bailouts. Stop feed the banks; we're all going to live to regret it.

A word to the wise: Whether or not President Obama is pushing some of the agenda we have before us, it is his responsibility to adjudicate the problems presented by PELOSI, REID DODD, FRANK, etc. (all of which are communists and should be hung). Now, more to the point:

If you care to know, the Federal Government is spiraling out of control. At the Federal level, we are being CONSUMED folks. Is it by design? I'm not sure. Is it a reality: YES IT IS.

Guns, Gold, Secession

By Karen De Coster

There is a secession movement afoot and its proponents are determined to put a halt to the federal government’s ambitions to destroy and reconstruct an entire economy and dissolve the last remnants of individual liberty. Twenty-eight states are invoking the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution, by rolling out legislation to assert their sovereignty as free states in order to keep from being undermined by the never-ending swarm of unrestrained federal decrees. (cont.)

Beware the class warfare instigated by the Federal Government as a ruse to grab more power in its quest to socialize America. Our enemy is not each other; rather, it is the purposeful actions of several presidential administrations, U.S. Congress and invisible mega-bankers.

Class War in America

By Richard Baehr

Let us disregard all those contributions to Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and the Democratic Senate and House campaign committees from AIG, and Wall Street firms. Let us ignore the role of Barney Frank in the mortgage mischief of FNMA. Let's forget about FNMA CEO Franklin Raines, walking away with $120 million in a severance package (where are those demands for payback of bonuses from executives who looted the nation, and cost it tens of billions in bailout money?).

Populism has been let loose in America, and it is a dangerous thing. Republicans are not free of exploiting this disease of course (Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley encouraging AIG executives to commit suicide!). At the moment, I am rereading Eric Hoffer's classic from 1951: The True Believer. This longshoreman intellectual wrote the playbook for the Obama campaign -- the exploitation of the frustrated to make them think change is needed, and there is new hope for the future.

A mass movement is being created in America. Mass movements are not nuanced. They need good guys and bad guys, and an emotional desire to ruthlessly steamroller the bad guys. The left attacked George Bush for creating a simplistic division of the world into good guys and bad guys, and for using terminology like the axis of evil.

We are seeing something similar now, but not for use in unifying the country for a targeted conflict abroad, but for use in changing the very foundations of our economy. The anger and scapegoating that has been unleashed will not easily be bottled, and of course, it is useful for those who seek foundational change. (cont.)

Revolution in the Air

It's getting impossible to keep up with the rhetoric and political noise surrounding AIG, the banks, and executive bonuses. Will the government try to rein in executive pay generally, rather than just at AIG? Is this an example of the kind of misguided policy and mass hysteria which results when you try to put politicians in charge of for-profit businesses? Will it wreck the economy outright? Or is the real problem that "the administration's officials are too marinated in the insiders' culture to police it, reform it or own up to their own past complicity with it"?

Why the End of America is Closer than
You Think

Perhaps more importantly, America has abandoned the principle of law. Laws no longer matter in America because they are selectively enforced only against those who threaten powerful institutions or corporations. America is no longer a nation of freedom and justice for all. Rather, it is a nation of greed and profit for the few, followed by oppression and bankruptcy for everybody else (cont).

Rush Limbaugh to NY: Drop Dead

“So I'll tell you what I'm going to do,” Limbaugh continued. “I'm going to look for an alternative studio somewhere outside New York, perhaps Texas -- another no-income-tax state -- and I'm going to get the hell over there, when a hurricane starts coming our way, 'cause I told Mayor Bloomberg: I'll be the first to lead the way. “ (cont.)

Reduced Standards of Living

What’s going on now is nature’s way of telling you that America’s standard of living has to be reduced by something between 20 and 50 percent.  You can have it in the form of a compressive deflationary depression, including widespread bankruptcies… or you can have by way of inflation, in which money loses its value.  But there’s one basic qualification to this: the way down is not symmetrical with the way up.  That is, it’s really not just a matter of ratcheting down to a standard of living half of what it was, say, in 2006, because in the event all the various complex systems that support everyday life enter failure mode before our society re-sets at a theoretically lower level of equilibrium.

By this I mean our methods for getting food, for moving about the landscape, for deploying capital, for trading and manufacturing, for schooling, doctoring, and running public services all destabilize and, to some degree or other, fail to deliver their contribution to normal daily life.  Banking (capital deployment) is already mortally wounded.  It remains to be seen how this will affect the food supply half a year ahead in the harvest season (cont.)

China's Weak Gambit On A
Currency Shift

China is calling for a move toward an obscure international currency known as SDRs (Special Drawing Rights) used by the IMF, to replace the U.S. dollar. The proposal on first blush suggests China is concerned with looming inflation in the U.S. and the devaluation of the debt it holds. While a reasonable concern, why would it push for such a dramatic shift? (cont.)

Oooommmmmmmmm

As return readers know, my mantra with regard to the coming economic (and societal) collapse is frightening simple: The "Growth" upon which we have come to rely in order to maintain our "way of life" is done, finished. Ever since Tricky Dick unilaterally took us off of the gold standard in 1971 we have been hurdling toward this moment in time. We have clung desperately to the illusion of growth for decades, and now that illusion has been summarily smashed to bits on the rocky shores of a Ponzi economy and hundreds of trillions of dollars in unserviceable debt. It's really that simple. We have existed, subsisted, for decades upon the "wealth" created by growth that wasn't in fact growth at all. It was debt. And without sustained growth, we die. Society collapses. But we CANNOT grow anymore because our Ponzi world has reached the end of the line. There's no more money to bilk because there's no more money! And so the only direction is down. Nature abhors a vacuum. Down, down, down. (cont.)

Kansans Vote On

Dark Musings, 2009-03-24

Of course the whole notion of repairing bank balance sheet is a lie and misdirection. The balance sheets we should want to see repaired are household balance sheets. Banks have failed us profoundly. We want them reorganized, not repaired. A world in which the banks are all fixed but households are still broken is worse than what we have right now. Too-big-to-fail banks restored to health are too-big-to-fail banks restored to power. The idea that fixing legacy banks is prerequisite to fixing the broad economy is a lie perpetrated by legacy bankers. (cont.)

Calling All (Soon To Be) Criminals

"...Many wonder out loud what those in the military will do, when, not if, the government moves to confiscate those nasty black guns from American citizens. If they have taken the time to reflect on their oath of enlistment in which they swore to uphold and defend the Constitution, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, the answer should be obvious. Any enemy of the Constitution should immediately become the enemy of those sworn to defend it. Nowhere in the oath is a commitment to support the government..."

Here is a tribute to Citigroup and
Bank of America:

No more federal bailout money for these insolvent banks! Listen up America, we are being sold down the river on a daily basis! The stock market is now an official sham! Your 401K is never coming back in your lifetime! We are going to continue to give money to these insolvent banks for what? Save a system that is beyond saving? Citigroup and Bank of America are going bankrupt no matter what we do. We are only giving them more bailout money now to pay off the fat cats and international investors from Europe, China and the Middle East. Your federal gooberment is more interested in keeping the rich rich than keep you out of the gutter!

NO MORE LOANS FOR PRIVATE COMPANIES!
LET THEM ALL FAIL!

I have read some really good articles and editorials today but the one word of advice I think is worthy to pass along (and means the most as we need to send a signal to the government and the banks):

Once we break out of what has been a relatively disturbing and cold winter season, I submit to you that most Americans (of the non-sheople species) will begin to think about what has occurred to them since November, 2008. I will recommend some considerations throughout the day but here is the first:

Sixpence None the Wiser

"...Whoever holds government debt owns a piece of your current wealth and your future income. They will tax us for all of eternity to pay interest to foreign countries. In time, the dollar will be worthless, and then what will they demand from us to pay the debt they put on our heads?.."

This is a post from Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis. It is a great site to learn about trends and get insights on what other people think about our economic situation, stocks, commodities, trends, etc. Here's the blogspot post:

From an earlier post same day: A lot of those families "resigned to financial ruin" would be better off renting. This isn't about them. Its about the banks.

"...Bingo. Everyone accusing Obama of being a socialist just doesn't get it. Nothing he's doing actually helps the "homeowners," as it is merely a short-term patch to a long-term problem. They will still lose the house, just later rather than sooner, and meanwhile, the Banksters reap $275 billion in essentially free money.

This keeps them afloat for a while longer, and enables them to suck out even more cash before the whole hosue of cards fall. It's not socialism, it's fascism. The socialist solution to the problem would be to cram down the mortgage on the house to its current value, then have a newly-founded government-owned bank buy out the mortgage from the bank, and re-mortgage the house to the "homeowner" at something like 4% on a 30-year note.

That would be socialism; what they are going to do is merely robbing Peter to pay Paul for Joe's mortgage, then cutting Joe loose down the line, and then using Peter and Joe's taxes to buy out Pauls' bank once he's sucked all the cash out of it..."

Very sad and very true. Don't be fooled by the last vestiges of a slowing economy. Just because Sandra Pianalto is a fool doesn't mean we have to be one too.

The Federal Government (aka Gooberment) wants your money, your guns and your soul. We are teetering on the precipice of of total disaster. Your U.S. Congress is wildly misguided and completely out of control. The U.S. Constitution is being trampled and the sheople are still watching American Idol.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS folks. Pay attention because the train is on auto-pilot and on a collision course. We are entering a very bad era in the history of our nation. Citizens are now "secondary" to graft and corruption. Our elected officials are completely devoid of intellectual capital.

The Hell With Our Constitution

"...Until the 1930s, the Constitution served as a major constraint on federal economic interventionism. The government's powers were understood to be just as the framers intended: few and explicitly enumerated in our founding document and its amendments. Search the Constitution as long as you like, and you will find no specific authority conveyed for the government to spend money on global-warming research, urban mass transit, food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, or countless other items in the stimulus package and, even without it, in the regular federal budget..."

Four quotes from an article everyone should read:

1. "...The staggering wealth accumulated in the top one percent of American society over last 25 years is directly bound up with the deterioration of the economy, the decline of industry and the impoverishment of the working class. The enormous personal fortunes of the elite have been built up on hedge funds, the leveraging of debt and other forms of financial speculation. This has entailed an enormous transfer of resources out of manufacturing and into finance, and out of the working class and into the pockets of those who have played the critical role not only in destroying living standards, but in setting the stage for the present disaster..."

2. "...The subordination of the whole of society to the financial aristocracy is most clearly expressed in the massive bailout of Wall Street. Its political representatives, Democrats and Republican alike, hand over trillions to the biggest banks, while providing no provisions for the masses of people who have lost their jobs and homes..."

3. "...The solution to the economic crisis is not a technical question but a social, political and revolutionary settling of accounts, and a historical necessity. At a certain point in the late 18th century, it became necessary for the oppressed classes of France to rise up and destroy the power and privileges of the nobility. In the America of the 1860s, the only resolution to the “irrepressible conflict” was the destruction of the “slave power” in the South..."

4. "...At this point it is necessary to destroy the political and economic power of the financial aristocracy. A resolution to the economic crisis can only begin with an independent mass movement of the working class that aims to break the political stranglehold of the financial elite over society; the development, to be blunt, of a revolutionary movement..."

Here is the LINK to the full article on Infowars.com.

So what does all of this mean? I find that it is increasily easy to read between the lines of the Wall Street bailout packages and the current "stimulus" plan whirling through both houses of Congress. My take on the overall situation is rather simple: The Obama Administration (and they are not unique in this regard) is trying to PACIFY THE MASSES for a little while longer while they shore up their bottom lines and ensure CONTROL over the unrest that is building.

America is losing jobs at lightning speed. We are destined to destroy the value of the dollar. Foreign investors are shying away from buying our debts. We have already lost the majority of our industrial capacity. So what is left? Well, according to the "SPENDULUS PLAN," the Federal Government is about to throw some bones to the masses:

- Extend and increase unemployment benefits
- Bailout state governments
- Build schools for children with no future job market
- More money for Medicaid
- Anemic tax cuts
- Etc. etc. etc.

What this all amounts to is "buying time" and pacification. The American people need to pull their collective heads out of their asses and pay attention to what is going on. We are being pacified for a while longer so the idiots on Capitol Hill can shore up their personal balance sheets and prepare for the onslaught that is just around the corner.

Take a look at these numbers from The Automatic Earth blogspot:

• The United States population is roughly 305,000,000
  
• About 79% of Americans live in cities or suburbs
  
• Over 50% live in cities with populations over 50,000
  
• Over 250 cities in the U.S. have over 100,000 people
  
• 9 cities have more than 1 million residents
  
• There are roughly 6000 registered hospitals in the US
  
• 10 to 15% of Americans live below the poverty line
  
• In 2007, 37.3 million Americans lived in poverty.
  
• The richest 10% of Americans possess 70% of the wealth
  
• The top 1% possesses 33.4% of net wealth.
  
• Government activity accounts for about 12% of GDP.
  
• The service sector accounts for about 65% of GDP
  
• The leading sector by income is finance and insurance
  
• Agriculture accounts for less than 1% of GDP
  
• About 150 million people “are” employed with earnings
  
• 80% are full-time jobs
  
• 79% are employed in the service sector
  
• Health care is the leading field of employment
  
• There are roughly 70 million public school students
  
• There are about 25 million businesses in the US
  
• Small businesses are about 50% of the workforce
  
• Roughly 29 million children get free lunch
  
• There are roughly 95,000 public schools in the U.S.
  
• There are roughly 6.8 million teachers
  
• The national average salary for teachers is $45,000
  
• Average 4 year college tuition, about $35,000
  
• About $8,000 per-pupil is spent
  
• 26,300 food pantries in the United States

Now take a look at this graph:

(Click for a sharper image)

You will have to form your own conclusions with this information but I am inclined to believe that the Federal Government (despite which pathetic party is in control) is constructing a spending bill and Wall Street bailout for no other reason than to buy time for the eventual collapse of the dollar and our economy. Why buy time? Well, wouldn't you want some time to prepare for 150 million angry Americans?

Love Big Brother or Make a Stand Now
In the end, Winston Smith, the rebel in Orwell’s 1984, is brought to Room 101 and O’Brien threatens to let rats chew his face off if he doesn’t pledge his love for Big Brother. He cracks and learns to Love Big Brother. We are nearing a point of no return in this country. Government is acquiring more power and the citizens are losing their liberty and freedom. We can either learn to love it or make a stand against it now.

Ayn Rand in her book Atlas Shrugged describes how we have slowly transformed our country into Orwell’s Oceania:

"Politicians invariably respond to crises -- that in most cases they themselves created -- by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism."

Banks that got bailout funds also paid out millions for home security systems, private chauffeured cars, and club dues. Some banks even paid for financial advisers.

Mumbai Massacre Proves Gun Control Works–for Terrorists

by Bill Levinson
The recent massacre in Mumbai underscores the effectiveness of gun control laws such as those supported by Dianne Feinstein, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, the Brady Campaign, the Violence Policy Center, and others. India’s strict gun control laws were quite effective in killing more than a hundred innocent citizens and police officers, per “India Security Faulted as Survivors Tell of Terror.”

B.S. Sidhu, head of the Railway Protection Force for the Mumbai region, says that while some officers tried to fight back, there was little his force could do. Most police officers at the station — as they are throughout India — were unarmed or carried only bamboo sticks known as lathis.

Lesson #1: Don’t bring a bamboo stick to a gunfight.

At about 9:45 p.m., two gunmen, slender and in their mid-20s, ran up the circular driveway at the entrance to the Trident. They shot the security guard and two bellhops. The hotel had metal detectors, but none of its security personnel carried weapons because of the difficulties in obtaining gun permits from the Indian government…

Lesson #2: Terrorists and criminals don’t obey gun control laws.

The three policemen armed with guns drew them. The nine others waved their bamboo sticks. Revving the engine, the car tried to U-turn but got stuck on the median. The man in the passenger seat rolled out and started shooting, killing one officer and wounding another. The surviving baton-wielding officers jumped on him, knocking him unconscious. Policemen with guns shot the driver dead.

Lesson #1, repeated: Don’t bring a bamboo stick to a gunfight.
We have seen just how well gun control laws worked out for the innocent people of Mumbai, and perhaps it is time for the citizens of New York City, Washington DC, and Chicago to learn from the example and demand the repeal of their cities’ gun laws

11/24/08 - Seperately, Citigroup said Sunday night it will expand its Philippines operation by hiring an additional 1,000 workers,the Manila Standard Today newspaper reported Monday.  The additional workers would expand Citigroup's call center and financial reporting operations, the paper said citing Citi's country manager Mark Jones. 

This move comes on the heels of Citi's announcement last week that it would slash 52,000 jobs in a bid to cut costs.

Who Killed Detroit?

11/22/08 - Are we better off now that these things are made by foreigners? Are we better off now that we have ceased to be self-sufficient? Are we better off now that the real wages of our workers and median income of our families no longer grow as they once did? Are we better off now that manufacturing, for the first time in U.S. history, employs fewer workers than government?

11/17/08 - I present this video to the United States Congress, Barack Obama, the United States Treasury, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank:


Click on the pic above and let me know if you think it is a fitting tribute to the U.S. Congress as they do everything they possibly can to bankrupt the nation.

-------------------------------------------------

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God,
I will rout you out.”
- Andrew Jackson

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I sincerely wish we could hear words like these out of a presidential candidate's mouth today:



Election Day, 2008
Think before you vote
VOTE

------------------------------------------------------------

Here we are nearly on the eve of the most historic election in the history of the United States of America. Please think about the present, the past and the future. I sit sometimes throughout the day and wonder where this country has gone in the past 30 some years. We have changed and not for the better.

Sure, we're richer today than we were 30 years ago. We have more personal possessions and fancy cars and technology coming out our ass. We have all the food we care to eat and all of the conveniences in the world. But are we truly better off than we were 30 years ago? How about 50 years ago?

When I was a squirt we didn't have a Wal Mart to sell us an unlimited amount of plastic crap from China. Life was a littler simpler and a whole lot better. Perhaps, after thinking about it, the current financial collapse has an upside: We are due to get back to the basics--we need an enema.

For all of you Obama supporters: I urge you to think beyond the hyperbole and lofty ideals and to remember that America is only as strong as its people. We all need to take a long hard look in the mirror when we are looking for a scapegoat.

Take a look at the video if you wish:

‘Obamamania' may assault Second Amendment, bring Fairness Doctrine

Obama's record on the Second Amendment is as follows:

1. He has supported a complete ban on handguns;
2. He voted to ban most rifle ammunition;
3. He refused to sign a brief supporting an individual right in the “Heller” case;
4. He supported the lawsuits that were designed to destroy the firearm industry;
5. He opposes the right to carry for self-defense;
6. He supports gun registration (which in Germany before WWII was used to disarm the Jews and used in Australia to disarm its citizens);
7. He served on the board of the Joyce Foundation, a rabidly anti-Second Amendment organization;
8. He voted to allow prosecution of citizens for using firearms for self-defense in their own homes.

The Bailout Lie Exposed:
Financial "Big Boys" Never Intended To Lend Out Their Windfall

This wonderful multi-trillion dollar bailout is not for the average American. It is all about bank consolidation and further control by the Federal Government of the every-day facets of your life!

Keybank in Cleveland, for instance, plans to use their $2.5 billion Treasury gift to buy smaller banks. Think they are in the mood to lend? Think again.

DEFEAT all incumbents on November 4th!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ted Nugent has it right. How pathetic have we become? Can you defend yourself? Can you hunt? Do you know how to keep warm when there is no artificial heat? Can you eat when the grocery stores are empty?

Think about it.

Nugent HERE

------------------------------------------------------------

10-24-08

Watch your Federal Government closely because they are officially out of control. Lewis and Clark had better navigational tools than Paulson and Bernanke.

The American taxpayer is in big trouble as a result of this bailout. Instead of "leaving well enough alone," Central Bank officials and the U.S. Treasury had to meddle. The meddling is now in full swing and it is likely to swing the U.S. right into a depression.

Come November 4, I hope every voter chooses to throw out of office every single incumbent up for re-election. Think your Congressman is special or different?

Think again. We need "wholesale change" in Congress and we need it right now.

As for the presidential candidates:

Obama wants your guns and your money. Enough said.

Fed Attempting To Prevent "Great Depression II"

In order to prevent the "Great Depression II", the Fed and the Treasury have embarked on a series of measures similar in nature to those that caused the great depression.

The root cause of the great depression was the unsound lending patterns leading up to it. Those same unsound lending practices, now carried to the very limits of legality via Bernanke's alphabet soup of facilities, cannot possibly be the cure.

In retrospect, the title of this post is inaccurate. It really should read Fed is Attempting to Cause "Great Depression II."

10-12-08 - How Pathetic Have We Become:

Official: Somali Troops Raid Hijacked Ship, Killing 2 Pirates

95-Pound Somalis now control our shipping waters? Give me $20,000 and 5 good men: They are dead. How sad. No wonder the world markets are tumbling; soon, we will need help just tying our shoes.

10-10-08 - If you have read nothing about how your government has sold you down the river,
PLEASE read THIS:

Terrorists strike in the heartland

----------------------------------------------------

10-3-08 - HERE YE, HERE YE

Today we officially set a course for economic disaster by most accounts. Our beloved Congress failed to heed the wishes of the voters. They voted for themselves--and they will tell you how they voted for you.

Congress did NOT vote with your best interests in mind!

When the smoke clears, we will see that the economy continues to decline and that CHINA is the biggest benefactor of our trillion dollar rescue.

PLEASE DO THIS: Vote AGAINST every single incumbent no matter what party!

-----------------------------------------------

10-2-08 - Make no mistake about it America, your Congress is not listening to you! They are about to enact a China bailout and that's exactly where all of this originates!

China is "calling in their chits" in return for all of the plastic poop we have purchased so cheaply for the past decade. They want their money back and they will get it via this $700 billion bank rescue.

--------------------------------------------

VOTE AGAINST EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL INCUMBENT

We need a new government because the one we have is asleep

Andrew Jackson, 1832:

In discussing the Bank Renewal bill with a delegation of bankers in 1832, Jackson said:

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank.

You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”

--------------------------------------

Have you attempted to contact your congressman or senators over the course of the past week? Have any success? Do they answer their phones? Do they respond to e-mails? How about faxes? Do their fax machines even work?

Here is my take on the situation for what it's worth: THROW EVERY SINGLE INCUMBENT OUT OF OFFICE THIS NOVEMBER.

Our Congress (and our federal government in general) is COMPLETELY and WILDLY out of control. They no longer represent you. They do not care about you. Your word and opinion means nothing to them.

We are approaching "slave state" status.

------------------------------------------------------------

Watch This Video Please

09/26/08 - Welcome to a Friday sure to be filled with chaos across the U.S. economy. Last night, if you have not already noticed, Washington Mutual failed. WaMu has seen an exodus of more than $16 billion in deposits in the last 10 days alone!

It is growing frustrating too how our Congress and President are not listening to the American taxpayer who are JUST SAYING NO TO A WALL STREET BAILOUT.

We do not want a plan! This plan is a disaster in the making. The entire scheme is cooked up to save face and buy time. We are not heading off a market meltdown with another $700 billion. Rather, we are just delaying the crash.

Please never assume that Paulson, Bernanke, Bush, Obama, McCain, Dodd, Frank or anyone else involved in these negotiations is smarter than you and me. These folks are selling your future down the river.

09/25/08 - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM BigCharts: An open letter to Sen. Christopher Dodd

"...If you think the government knows better than the free market, you are not a capitalist. Our country is founded on capitalism and small government...."

Remember this, this proposed $700 billion bailout is only the beginning. We have already spent nearly $300 billion between Fannie, Freddie and the AIG loan. If you combine that with the $700 billion we are nearing $1 trillion. Most economists looking at the structure of Wall Street today are commenting on a much higher total before it is all said and done. Can we afford this?

------------------------------------------------

Take a look at the Treasury's Proposal

Illegal Immigration and the Mortgage Mess

09/24/08 - Never underestimate what the border "floodgates" have done to this country. We have tolerated illegal immigration for far too long. Some say (and probably correctly so), it is at the root of the housing market meltdown and the failure of numerous financial institutions. No one can legitimately argue with the geographical facts and the correlation between high concentrations of illegal immigrants and foreclosures. There IS a direct and statistical correlation.

So what is next? Are you paying attention to the debate in Congress about the bailout? Have you contacted your congressman and senators? If not, I urge you to burn up the phone lines, e-mail and fax machines.

You can find your congressional representative HERE

You can find your senators HERE

Let them know what YOU THINK about an ill-conceived bailout of financial houses of ill repute. Do not think for a second that the proposed bailout will not have dire consequences. We are going to pay one way or the other. In this case, it is better to PAY NOW versus paying for the rest of your life.

I am now of the opinion that our Treasury and Congress are quite prepared to condemn this country to long-term debt without a method of repayment. I would much prefer seeing a market meltdown now and help for individuals than the propping up of another public company. Not one. Investors? Who cares. You made your bed. Fat cats? Who cares--go to hell.

Oppose the Treasury's Bailout Plan

"...This proposal is an expensive boondoggle and should be opposed by all.  As one bit of evidence here, how many noticed that mortgage rates went up on the day the deal was announced?..."

-----------------------------------------

09/23/08 - Who is the Fed trying to fool here? Do they (aka Bernanke and Paulson) believe that a market collapse would actually halt our economy? This is a scare tactic and far from true. There will be "business as usual" for many segments of our economy even in the fact of a market collapse that brings down these big financial institutions.

The fact that the American economy has gravitated toward a "MEGA EVERYTHING" mentality is part of the problem. I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over the collapse of every "mega" store, bank, lender, insurer, etc. Let them all collapse. I would far prefer to see a paradigm shift in our economy that brings taxpayer dollars closer to home. Right now all we are doing is shipping our dollars overseas.

Paulson repeatedly fielded questions from committee members asking why taxpayers should accept the burdens of a bailout.

"You worry about taxpayers being on the hook?" he replied at one point. "Guess what — they're already on the hook." Paulson suggested that the fallout from the credit crisis was so dire it would hit people in their pocketbooks unless forceful action were taken. Moreover, the flawed and outdated regulatory system, which didn't catch abuses, needs to be overhauled, he said.

Here is news for you Mr. Paulson: You are not one iota smarter than anyone else interested in these matters. This is not rocket science. This is not quantum physics. This is not mathematics for that matter. This is about SOCIAL SCIENCE. I regret that acedemia ever succumbed to moving economics to the business schools. That was a disaster.

--------------------------------------------

09/23/08 - So Now Bernanke and Paulson are threatening Congress and America with "RECESSION" if we do not authorize this massive bailout of financial institutions. I say bring it on then. We would be far better off suffering through a couple of years of hard times than 50 years of debt that de-values the dollar and ensures MEDIOCRITY for the American standard of living.

Did you read this in the Fed's bailout proposal
:
“Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.”

How interesting. So, Americans are going to finance the bailout but no one is going to be accountable!

These people will stop at nothing until the American people STOP THEM!

I would rather see the stock market crumble than bail out one more financial institution. I would rather see a massive defection from New York City and Wall Street than give them $1 to run amuck with yet again. This will only be the beginning. A $700 billion bailout is nothing combared to the severity of the problem.

Do you realize that bonuses on Wall Street last year totalled $60 billion?

-----------------------------------------

Here we go folks:

Bush asks Congress for $700 billion
for bailout

To be exact, that is $700,000,000,000. Do you ever think this debt will be paid down? How? By whom? When?

We are entering the beginning of the end of the American economy. This is no joke. We are de-valuing the dollar right now. The fat cats love this because the individual and institutional investor are paying the way. Do not forget this weekend because it is yet again momentous. We will look back on September, 2008 as the starting of another Great Depression.

It would be altogether different if the American economy still had manufacturing and produced goods. Unfortunately, all we produce is health care and money shufflers. Our economy is a fraud because this IS NO ECONOMY without the production of goods. We can produce "services" all we want but without tangible "goods" it is all for naught.

This bailout for the financial institutions will work for a while. Did you notice how oil increased to $104 at closing on Friday, September 19? Strange eh?

It's not strange at all. The EU and Asian markets are using America as pawns as well. Our elected and appointed officials are FOOLS. We are going to pay a heavy price for this bullshit.

---------------------------------------------

A few comments to consider :

1. Do not trust Congress
2. Do not trust Wall Street
3. Do not believe that your elected officials have an answer to anything because they are genuinely deficient of intellectual capital
4. Do learn how to fend for yourself
5. Do learn how to hunt and fish
6. Do learn how to shoot a handgun, rifle, shotgun and bow
7. Do plan ahead for living a more basic existence if necessary
8. Do learn how to can or store food

If your elected officials had even half a brain (which they do not), the free markets would be unfettered to fix what is wrong: unadulterated greed that should lose and lose big. Do you see a bailout for you anywhere in the offing?

Unfortunately, your elected officials (and those appointed such as the Fed) are in the pocket of special interests (both Democrats and Republicans) so they do not give a damn about you. They do not even realize you exist except during an election cycle--and TAXES.

We have some serious financial problems that are not going to be resolved anytime soon despite the band-aids being attempted. The problems are worse than reported and very difficult to understand. Trust in yourself and go with your instincts. Spend your money on what counts.

--------------------------------------

Ok, let me see if I have this correct. It appears to me through humble eyes that the following groups are increasingly proving to be virtually Anti-American. Now that is a strong comment but it appears to be true. Of course you can analyze, excuse, justify, etc. but the result is almost always the same. Do these corners of America really support America? You decide:

1. Academia
2. Professional Sports
3. Media (no need for a link because we live it every single day)
4. Wall Street (complete non-partisan unadulterated greed) Just one MINOR example is Morgan Stanley...these whores have sold out to CHINA on multiple occasions. Soon, they will be called Morgan Stanley but they will be CHINESE!

You tell me.

--------------------------------------

Don't watch Wall Street for answers about the economy. We may see the bulls and the bears collide but we have a fundamental problem. Housing is just the beginning:

1. Inflated Housing Costs
2. Inflated Fuel Costs
3. Inflated Food Costs
4. Inflated Heating Costs
5. Inflated Electricity
6. Inflated Cable and Internet Costs
7. Inflated Insurance Costs
8. Inflated GOVERNMENT

If, for even a second, you think that the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will cure the woes of housing and lending think again. We have yet to begin. A complete meltdown is in the cards. How much mail do you receive from a governmental agency? How much mail do you receive from a collection agency? Remember, all of the "callers" are minimum wage idiots but that makes no nevermind. They are relentless in pursuit of your very last penny.

The average house in NE Ohio is still inflated by 45%. The cost of auto insurance? This is a government-regulated and mandated JOKE. We are all sitting around as lemmings just watching our local, state and federal governments bankrupt us one piece of legislation at a time.

Fuel? What a comedy of errors. The weak dollar or the strong dollar. It doesn't matter. If oil prices decline much further then OPEC will cut back on production. The average American today has no recourse other than taking back what is rightfully theirs: THE COUNTRY.

Don't want to vote this November? Well, you get what you deserve then because a vote is still a vote. Not voting is not a vote: It's an opinion.

Wonder how the elderly and those on fixed incomes are going to heat their homes this year? You better wonder because no one has an answer. The real answer is that many of them will not be able to heat their homes.

Food? Buy lots of it now because we are not on solid footing. Our government at ALL LEVELS is wildly out of control. Congress just put taxpayers in the hock for an unknown amount of billions of dollars. I would worry a lot less about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan than I would the war in Washington, D.C.

Large US bank Collapse Ahead, Says Ex-IMF Economist

"We have to see more consolidation in the financial sector before this is over," he said, when asked for early signs of an end to the crisis...."

In reading the above quote, take special note of the following concept: Lets continue to "consolidate" the money and the power into fewer and fewer hands. The path we have charted is getting more dangerous by the day. The American economy is already controlled by just a few. The more we invite foreign investment, the longer and more dastardly the consequences will become.

-----------------------------------------

A cure for American political apathy?

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” Thomas Jefferson

-------------------------

We are well on our way to living in a Police State unless Americans begin to say NO! "We the People" control the purse strings and we better start thinking about using that influence soon:

U.S. Agents Can Seize Laptops
Report: The notebooks and other devices can be seized without reason and held indefinitely.

--------------------------

A chuckle over our Wal Mart fixation. Have you ever thought for a moment about America's fixation over purchasing absolute junk? We sure do love the "low prices" but then we turn around and complain about the loss of jobs. We lost those jobs years ago as a result of our own stupidity and absolute ADDICTION to JUNK made in China and shoved down our throats at stores like Wal Mart. Soon, there will be nothing left BUT Wal Mart. Think before you buy another piece of plastic poop.

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem… It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government.” – Ronald Reagan, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1981
