So are you playing Grand Inquisitor again today? You missed your calling by a few centuries. I'm just giving my opinion too. Only difference is mine is based on facts yours is fantasyland random thoughts you make up.
Their was no Bush Dynasty at the time. So your point is silly. You are right that the House of Bush is not our friend. I'll give you that one.
But seriously, we have really reached a pretty grim point when the court that is supposed to be protecting our rights under the Constitution, and the president, who is supposed to uphold and defend that document, collude in saying that once a person has been taken into custody by police, she or he really has no rights. The 4th Amendment about being "secure in your person"? Forget it. The cops can now strip you, grope you, check your butthole and humiliate you all they want, even if you are innocent of any charge. And by the way, they can lock you up with hardened convicts and hold you after they do that, until you get a lawyer or post bail. No "cruel and unusual punishment"? Well, I think most people would agree that getting stripped and intimately searched by some leering cop when you hadn’t done anything would qualify as punishment, and it certainly is cruel, so the Eighth Amendment is in the toilet too. (We already knew the First Amendment -- the one about freedom of speech and assembly and the right to petition over grievances -- was toast. Just ask Mayor Mike Bloomberg or any of the other mayors who ordered the brutal crushing of dozens of Occupation encampments over the past half year.)-stephen lendman blog
Their business model is grand theft. They're crime families, not legitimate enterprises. They make money by stealing it. They wreck economies, communities, and households. Corrupt politicians let them. They're bribed to go along. As bad as things are, they're getting worse. On April 5, The New York Times headlined, "Obama Signs Bill to Promote Start-Up Investments," saying: Surrounded by complicit lawmakers and industry crooks, Obama signed the JOBS Act. He called it a "potential game changer." The Times article went along with the charade. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago and can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net
It’s possible that the current hype about oil ‘shortages’ and reserve-tapping is designed to both push its price up and nip any panicky market selling in the bud. (See Slogpost last week on the oil ‘price’ scam). Looking back now to laugh out loud at the pathetic confidence of 2006, by comparison what we have in the West today is a much greater dilution of currencies than most people expected, far more notional obligations than most people realised, and collapsed house values about to fall off a cliff. House prices continue to head south in the States; and no US economic recovery has ever been managed without a recovery in the domestic property market. All of us are left with a dearth of confidence, the unhappy victims of a profusion of confidence tricksters. So, what most people in their right minds recognise is that we’re going to have stagflation in the West – that is, flat or declining economic output alongside rising living costs. And economically, we have what you might call an investment gap: less real-value money to stimulate economies, and less oilco money going into tapping reserves. Unless somebody can find a way to plug the gap that doesn’t involve can-football, we will spiral into the worst slump the world has ever witnessed….one in which nobody buys or sells anything, every sovereign is bankrupt, no asset is worth even a row of beans, society breaks down, and the neighbours will be on the barbecue just as soon as we can raise the £5.5M for a bag of charcoal. Under this scenario, a ‘Global Spring’ takes place…with all the unpleasant consequences that we’ve seen in North Africa. Because when you indulge in believing Friedmanite bollocks about wealth trickling, what happens is an ever-broadening concentration of wealth in a few hands. And when you let bankers invent money to enrich themselves at no advantage whatsoever to the real economy, the other 93% get wiped out financially. And both those things make any kind of meaningful economic recovery impossible.
Palmer: "People have got to think: do you WANT to live in a country run by the government?" Interviewer: "Has this ever happened before?" Palmer: "It happened once, but we fixed it. We got rid of it." "It’s cars versus jobs and people. Car is winning today but will ultimately lose. Purposeful deflation is energy conservation by other means. This is not completely arbitrary as the conservation impulse is not optional. It will be enforced by events or otherwise. There is nothing that can be done to stop or slow conservation. It is driven by entropy which is a physical law. Instead of jettisoning car industry and keeping the EU, the union jettisons Greece to keep the car industry. The EU stupidly thinks the crisis is ‘fixed’. Next up is Spain on the chopping block. At some point Germany exits the EU which is destroyed: at the end of the day there is no EU and no car industry, either.

I remember the first time they did this. It made int'l news. Today, not so much. And I guarantee that Al Qaeda had nothing to do with it....;} Egypt-Israel gas pipeline targeted for 14th time A pipeline delivering gas from Egypt to Israel burns following an attack near the town of al-Arish in the northern Sinai, September 27, 2011. Mon Apr 9, 2012 3:38AM GMT An Egyptian pipeline supplying gas to the Israeli regime and Jordan has once again been hit by a major explosion, which is the fourteenth attack on the energy link since January 2011.
Latest Gallup poll. Do you think Israel is a friend of the United States? LMFAO. In your dreams....8D The initial conflict, centered on so-called military objectives (scientific research facilities), will spread rapidly to economic targets, or what US and Israeli military strategists refer to as “dual civilian-military” targets. This would include oil fields, highways, factories, communications networks, television stations, water treatment facilities, reservoirs, power stations and administrative offices, such as the Defense Ministry and headquarters of the Republican Guard. Iran, faced with imminent destruction of its entire economy and infrastructure (which occurred in neighboring Iraq with the unprovoked US invasion of 2003), would retaliate by blocking the Straits of Hormuz and sending short range missiles in the direction of the principle oil fields and refineries of the Gulf States including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, a mere 10 minute distance, crippling the flow of oil to Europe, Asia and the United States and plunging the world economy into deep depression.
It should not be forgotten that the Iranians are probably more aware than anyone in the region of the total devastation suffered by Iraqis after the US invasion, which plunged that nation into total chaos and devastated its advanced infrastructure and civilian administrative apparatus, not to mention the systematic obliteration of its highly educated scientific and technical elite. The waves of Mossad-sponsored assassinations of Iranian scientists, academics and engineers are just a foretaste of what the Israelis have in mind for Iran ’s outstanding scientists, intellectuals and highly skilled technical workers. Iranians should have no illusions about the Americans and Israelis who seek to thrust Iran into the brutal dark ages of Afghanistan and Iraq .
Iran is threatening to nuke Israel. They have repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map. It is Iran that will be conquered. Not Israel. The Isralis are good people. The muslim inhabitants of the middle east are not.
With what. And you need to stopp reading those MossadAl Qaeda sites like debka.... Israel's the first terrorist state. Obama Threatens War President Obama has stepped up the rhetoric against Iran with an offer to "negotiate". His offer is no offer at all, it is a demand to surrender. There will be nothing left to "negotiate" if Iran accepts the offer. This is what Obama demands before "negotiation" begins. * Immediately close and dismantle a recently completed nuclear facility deep under a mountain * Give up and ship out of the country its stockpile of uranium enriched to 20 percent purity * Halt all enrichment even though enrichment to 5 percent does not pose a risk * Allow inspectors full access to all Iranian sites * Allow inspectors access to key nuclear scientists even though many Iranian scientists have been killed The New York Times reports U.S. Defines Its Demands for New Round of Talks With Iran You want WWIII? Do it. Attack. First one to do it, loses.
Everyone's ready. Thirdly, Israel ’s principle allies, especially the US and the EU, will be severely strained as they are dragged into Israel ’s war and find themselves defending the straits of Hormuz, their army garrisons in Iraq and Afghanistan , and their oil fields and military bases in the Gulf.
www.economic-undertow.com...-registrations-040512.png Figure 1: EU auto registrations for the past year (from ACEA). It is possible that registrations might recover, but hardly likely when consuming countries such as Spain and Italy are now on the euro credit stringency chopping block. The demand for fuel in peripheral countries is removed. This is done by creditors cutting off peripheral access to euro-denominated credit. Those remaining with credit have the means to then ‘import’ Spanish- and Italian domestic fuel demand for themselves without any monetary or credit penalties. It’s cars versus jobs and people. Car is winning today but will ultimately lose. Purposeful deflation is energy conservation by other means. This is not completely arbitrary as the conservation impulse is not optional. It will be enforced by events or otherwise. There is nothing that can be done to stop or slow conservation. It is driven by entropy which is a physical law.
hat4uk.wordpress.com/ A deliberately planted home-made gas canister gutted the Ministry of Administrative Reform’s ground floor offices in the Neos Kosmos district of Athens earlier this morning (Monday). The MAR has been the focal point of delivering the Troika’s sweeping reform programme. The bomb, which exploded at 1.50 am local time, also destroyed three cars. The modus operandum – propane gas canisters – is the same as that used in the bomb that exploded outside the office of former prime minister Costas Simitis six days ago. But although the two attacks may have a single source, nobody has, as yet, claimed responsibility.
Sony To Axe 10,000 Employees Monday, 09 April 2012 02:18 Brandon Smith This is just the beginning folks. With Sony's recent announcement of downsizing right on top of Yahoo's cuts, and the recent U.S. jobs report which was far below mainstream expectations, we are now seeing the initial stages of the next economic drop. The effects of the fiat money train have subsided, and the reality of the dismal global economy is taking hold once again. Watch for an accelerated and very visible downturn in the coming months...
Meanwhile, deleveraging of household balance sheets since the high debt levels of 2007 has been mild. The result is yet another way to see how deeply consumer demand is restrained: there’s not enough work to both pay down debt, and restart consumption. Until the US confronts the reality of health care costs, and the outstanding debt levels of households, there should be little expectation that sectors like housing will see much of any recovery. While its true that reduced consumption more generally, compared to the excesses of the past few decades, is a long-overdue change that the US economy sorely needs, it is also true that any desired shift to a more productive economy in which output rises faster than consumption will not likely occur on the back of part-time work. It sounds so boring to say: the US economy needs a return of high-paying, full-time jobs. If this does not occur soon, the associated political unease will continue to fester and a new conversation about health-care policy, one that is less partisan(?), will have to ensue. http://gregor.us/">gregor.us/ gregor.us/wp-content/uplo...ual-Average-2002-2012.png http://earlywarn.blogspot.com/2012/04/p">earlywarn.blogspot.com/2012/04/ The above shows the unemployment rate for the five "PIIGS" countries. The data (from Eurostat) begin in 2005 and run through Feb 2012 except for Greece which only goes to Dec 2011. None of these countries have put their troubles behind them. You can argue that Ireland appears to have at least stabilized its unemployment rate. The rest all appear to be worsening - Greece, Spain, and Portugal are all deteriorating at fairly dramatic rates. These countries are in the grip of an event on the scale of the Great Depression. These countries are in the grip of an event on the scale of the Great Depression.
And that's Mossad BS as well. The threat is to take out Zionism. Big difference.
We have some time left before the ultimate fate is visible to all. Ten minutes after the collision, the Titanic's passengers had 2 hours and 30 minutes before the "unsinkable" ship sank. How much time we have left is unknown, but the bow of the ship will be visibly settling into the icy water within a year or two--and perhaps much sooner. - a dangerous meme will go forth across the internet, and this meme will say: Millennials, renounce your college loans and set yourselves free! And then something truly marvelous will happen. They will at once disempower the swindling generation of their fathers, teachers, loan officers, and overlords and quite possibly bring on, at long last, the epochal collision of pervasive American control fraud with the hard hand of reality. I think this will happen, and I would venture even to set the meme loose here and now and watch it go viral. The college loan racket has been an even more cynical enterprise than the mortgage racket was because so many people who ought to have known better, people of supposed intelligence such as college deans, cabinet secretaries, and think-tank Yodas, all colluded to support the false promise that the gigantic cargo cult of higher ed would keep churning out fresh careers forever - when the truth was that the entire groaning vessel of hopes and dreams was already under water and sinking into the eternal darkness.
The threat is to take out Zionism. Big difference. Well put.

The first sign of AgitProp is when you' re first told of the 'problem' is when you're told it's been destroyed or never existed in the first place: " The petroleum age is just beginning BY DAVID DEMING | Published: April 7, 2012 Oklahoman Comment on this article 35 Peak Oil is the theory that the production history of petroleum follows a symmetrical bell-shaped curve. Once the curve peaks, decline is inevitable. The theory is commonly invoked to justify the development of alternative energy sources that are allegedly renewable and sustainable.

peak energy in the news: Can overconfidence be overcome in advance? Richard Vodra, ASPO-USA What seems to be missing from the coming New York Times energy conference is a sense of skepticism about the underlying assumptions for energy sufficiency in the decades to come. The agenda, speakers, and likely attendees remind one of what a shipboard symposium might have been like on the future of trans-Atlantic shipping held in the salon of the Titanic exactly one hundred years earlier. Maybe it’s inevitable that the hard questions won’t be entertained until the disaster occurs and we realize there aren’t enough lifeboats.
O yeah. More than humans will ever use.
Yes. At Armageddon there are jets flying. So there is still oil or some alternative. We will be ok. Sometimes I think you work for big oil and you are just trying to scare up prices.

Just no way...;} "It is a game that children usually love and that can last quite some time if the garden is big and the bunny has been a little mean in hiding the eggs in difficult places. A curious facet of the Easter Egg hunt is that it looks a little like mineral prospecting. With minerals, just as for eggs, you need to search for hidden treasures and, once you have discovered the easy minerals (or eggs), finding the well hidden ones may take a lot of work. So much that some eggs usually remain undiscovered; just as some minerals will never be extracted. Now, if searching for minerals is similar to searching for Easter Eggs, perhaps we could learn something very general if we try a little exercise in model building. We can use system dynamics to make a model that turns out to be able to describe both the Easter Eggs search and the common "Hubbert" behavior of minerals production. The exercise can also tell us something on how system dynamics can be used to make "mind sized" models (to use an expression coined by Seymour Papert). So, let's try.....

;} "Inordinate power in finance begets great wealth inequality. Deals are consummated behind closed doors, and the sole motive is profit. If some benefits should trickle down to the "little people" who live far down the line, that was only a happy accident. The workings of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" are increasingly harder to discern. Big Finance set free from reasonable constraints on its behavior is among the most undemocratic of human institutions. In addition to great power and wealth, it is exclusivity which defines the banking world. To paraphrase George Carlin, it's a big club and we're not in it." That jesus would be/is totally freaked out is the sine quo non hypocrisy of this entire cluster fu ck.
