Just in time for Christmas

Here we are in the midst of another Holiday Season and despite the ill tidings we hear from the Fed every day, Americans are muddling through. I have been busy these last few weeks, out on the road trying to bring in as much cash as I can, while I can. It was good to see that another Liberty Forum friend stopped by. For those that don't know, Liberty Forum was the best of the forums out there by far and was unceremoniously shut down with no explanation given. But the lesson is there for those who can see it; Free Speech is on its way out. Like it or not. Even these blogs that we enjoy so much and express our inner most thoughts on will go by the wayside sooner than we would like.

While I've been out on the road I've been keeping track of all the latest developments on the World and National stage and have given a lot of thoughts to what it means to the American people. I'll try to address them but not necessarily in order of importance.

Mumbai Attacks

Much has been speculated about these attacks ranging anywhere from the perpetrators being Al Qaeda to the Mossad to an internal force of Indians doing it to themselves. What I have found when examining these kinds of incidents is that in each story there is a kernal of truth. The attacks in and of themselves made absolutely no sense in that there was no stated goal, no stated reason for the attacks on innocent civilians and the general Indian public at large. That there were wide spread reports of Westerners being sought and killed is also in doubt. The biggest stories here in the US was of Jewish victims. Consider the duality of the stories being put out. On the one hand we are told that Westerners were being targeted. This puts fear into your average everyday American primarily and all other Europeans to a lesser degree. Then you have the outrage of Jews being killed. This serves two purposes. One; it conjours up images of all the suffering that the Jews have endured and two; it subtly hints that Jews fill in nicely for Westerners when need be. Even though their mindset is not traditionallly considered to be a Westerner way of thinking.

When one considers that there is some belief that Al Qaeda is a CIA front, coupled with the media's portrayal of the more important victims it seems clear to me that this incident was a trial run for a similar attack upon an American city at some point in the near future.

This is of course highly speculative on my part but this seems to be how things work. There is always a trial run usually in some place that is just remote enough to where the spin can be highly manipulated and to where the tactics for the next attack can be refined for maximum effect.

U.S. troops stationed in America

The government must know something is in the wind because for the first time a combat brigade will be brought home to assist in domestic emergencies. Oh sure, the story is that they will be helping with disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, etc. Every benign reason is given but the truth. And that is for domestic unrest. But even when that aspect is given I have to ask myself, "What domestic unrest?!" Even with all of the alleged turmoil going on I am not seeing any groups that are all that upset over the current state of the economy. To be sure, people are worried but I hear of absolutely no one that is so pissed off that the government should worry. So why the troops? Why the troops? WHY, why,why???

Not hearing any answers I must speculate because nothing happens for no reason. Is the government merely bringing home the troops because the War in Iraq is winding down and this is a make-work solution? I don't think so since Obama has stated his desire to escalate the war in Afghanistan. Shouldn't the extra troops be headed for Afghanistan? I guess not. Perhaps the government has finally awakened to the fact that we are being overrun with illegal aliens and they are going to be used to protect our borders? Again, no. If the government didn't immediately close the border after the so called attacks of 9-11 why do it now? Makes no sense. Are they afraid to discharge these excess troops because the economy is so bad that these soldiers would automatically go on the welfare rolls? I kind of doubt that too. The military has been downsized before and the last few years has seen a developing love affair between the Federal government and the military where there wasn't one before. Remember Clinton's "Loathing" of the military? Now the government likes the military so much they want to keep them closer to home. Hmmmm. This does not seem like a good thing for the people of the U.S. The only thing that makes sense is that at some point in the future, there will be some kind of an attack on the Homeland of the U.S. It may be portrayed as an attack from Al Qaeda, which will be portrayed as an 'external' attack. Or the attack will be portrayed as coming from one of the big bad disgruntled investor militia's that just couldn't stand seeing their stocks go down anymore. But make no mistake the troops are here for a reason. Let's hope they remember that they are our sons and daughters and that the training they received in Iraq can be over ridden.

More thoughts soon. Got to go shopping.

Economic collapse: important upcoming dates

Economic collapse: important upcoming dates

November 16, 2008 by disinter

The engineers of the economic collapse aren’t finished with you yet. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done to scare you into agreeing to more outright theft of your sovereignty, freedom and wealth.

The first milestones have been reached. As Congress was warned in March, the economic collapse gained steam in September - right on schedule. The federal government has successfully created over $3 trillion, with MUCH more to come, in order to ensure the coming hyper-inflationary nail in the coffin. With that, they managed to nationalize banks and insurance companies and rescued other incompetent partners-in-crime on Wall Street and it is only beginning.

Now for what is coming next:

• It was predicted at the end of October that the U.S. Dollar would collapse within 30 days.
• The dollar collapse will be accelerated by a COMEX default beginning on November 28th. More on what this will look like here.
• Colin Powell has warned of a “crisis” that will happen on January 21st or 22nd, 2009. It remains to be seen whether this staged event will be financial in nature.
• The U.S. government is expected to go bankrupt/default in February 2009.

Make no mistake, none of this is happening by accident. Nor is it happening as a result of “bad” policy, not enough regulation etc. On the contrary, what is unfolding has been planned for decades.

Preposterous you say? Read this, this, this and this.

Stocks will likely rally next week. Don’t let it fool you.

Good luck.

Bush Tragedy

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy."

So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a tragedy.

One little boy stood up and offered "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy."

"No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explained the President. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched the room," Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said, "If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs Bush was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," said the boy, "it has to be a tragedy because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."

Let the Whining Begin (and it has)

While the Nation gets used to the new reality of an overwhelming Obama victory, the defeated continue puling with each new imagined threat. One of the least realistic threats to the Right is the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine.

The Fairness Doctrine was a flawed mechanism by which a broadcaster would have to air both sides of an issue. If you have a righty on for thirty minutes, you would have to give equal time to a lefty. Back in the days before cable this doctrine did far more for the right side than it did for the left. The 'Big Three' networks were owned by committed leftists back in the day and the right felt that their voices were not being heard.

But that was before cable networks and the twenty-four hour news services. Now nearly anyone with any point of view can and does find an audience. Far from being shut out of the news game, networks like Fox have flourished since 1994 when the Right believed that Newt Gingrich's Republican Revolution would sweep away all in its path. Fox news became the officially un-official voice of the right and more recently the 'go-to' news service of the White House and the more radical elements of the Right. Rush Limbaugh began to dream of multi-million dollar paydays during the nineties and the Fairness Doctrine then was as derided as Prohibition.

With these media options leading the way as the mouthpieces of the Right and the White House, those in power could rest easy knowing that the Republican line could and would be out there, heard and adhered to by those whose feeble minds believe everything they hear because if it's on the television it must be correct. And Fox news up until recently has enjoyed better than average ratings. But a funny thing happened on the way to the election.

These past eight years have seen a Government led by unabashed liars and crooks. Whose mantra seemed to be 'Hey look what Clinton got away with. Surely we can get away with anything!' And they almost did. Unfortunately for the Right, the People began to get tired of seeing their sons and daughters sent overseas to die for a cause which was a lie. And a continuously evolving lie at that. First WMD's, then Saddam's a "bad man. A very bad man!" Then it became Iraqi freedom and who knows what it is now. While our troops were fighting for Iraqi Freedom, the government was working overtime to deny everyone else theirs. Illegal wiretaps, a vice-president who is above the law in so many respects, Guantanemo prisoners who have been exonerated but will not be released, and on and on. The lies have piled up so high that by the time of the election, nearly anyone would have defeated McCain or any other Republican. This is what the Right doesn't understand. The Bush Administration with its wars, profligate spending, trampling the Constitution, and unnecessary fear mongering, has so tarnished the Republican 'brand' that it may be many years before they can have a respectable showing in a National election. They can pretty much forget about 2012 as a 'comeback' year because they still have such 'old guard' faces as Congressman Boehner and Senator McConnell in the leadership positions. They still have loudmouths like Rush Limbaugh and his little sister Sean Hannity and his little sister Brian Killmeade and all the other little sisters lying about Obama right up to the election. And now the best they can do is whine about what may become of them.

I've got a newsflash for those on the right who continue to whine and cry and yes, lie about what may happen in the future. Don't worry about it! Stop lying, stop crying, stop the fearmongering, stop WHINING!You have lost your influence, now do the American thing and get out there and redeem your sorry legacy and regain the confidence that you so took advantage of in the past. No one is asking any of these crybabies to kiss the feet of the new administration, just accept the fact that there is more to America than Fox news.

And to Jim Treacher

Bwahahahahahahaaha! Still love ya man.
