5) the failure to force the rich to take their losses and to break up the banks means that the same people who caused the 2007/8 financial crisis still control the economy and the government.
6) failure to restructure the economy to get off oil and over to an electrical economy means that the US (and the world) are caught in the oil price dilemna: any real recovery increases oil price and will be derailed by those high oil prices.
7) Europe, ex. Germany, is in recession.
8 ) the developed world is in depression, it never left depression. During depressions there are recoveries (such as they are) and recessions, but the overall economy is in depression.
9) Chinas economy is slowing down. Since China is the main engine of the world economy, followed by the US, this is really bad. If it goes into an actual recession, bend over and kiss your butt goodbye.

The Jet Stream and Thermohaline Conveyors like the Humboldt and the Gulfstream are the Sine Quo Nons of weather along with the Arctic.
The End of Arctic Ice Melt and Major Hurricane Formation Exactly coincide at September 10.
A Warm Arctic throws the Global Jet Stream completely out of whack.
This year the Jet went all the way down to Texas and then straight up to the Hudson Bay.
Looking for it to Reverse and go from Manitoba straight down to Texas.
We're going to wobble back and forth increasingly erratically til the New Steady State presents itself.
Obviously there will be a lot fewer humans around when that happens.

Post Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:19 am by mcgowanjm I've been reading 'Neven' since March.
And He/They have gone from 'Dry Scientist Chatter' to 'Day After Tomorrow' rants.
Just utterly amazing.
Even as there is to Today Not One AP piece connecting 2012 Record Breaking Heat/Drought/Flood to Climate Change.
And 8% of Record Weather articles of USSAMSM have mentioned Climate Change.
where we are with regards Arctic sea ice, and where we're headed.
I am asserting that 2010 was a key event, one with repercussions for the future, that will be seen in years to come as important a turning point as 2007 itself. Indeed 2010 may even have ushered in what Dr Peter Wadhams has said probably be a succession of crashes: "I think the next two or three years will see a further collapse and we'll then be encountering an Arctic ocean without sea ice in it during the summer months" BBC News 24, 19:23 27/8/12. A year ago I'd have disagreed, now I think he may be correct.
Some residents can pick up food stamps starting Wednesdayadd to reading list
Some hurricane victims can start picking up their disaster food stamps to help buy groceries that were lost in the storm. Residents that qualify must live in one of the 10 parishes that has been approved by the government.
""The volume of ice in the summer is only a quarter of what it was 30 years ago and that's really the prelude to this final collapse," Prof Wadhams said.
Instead of being reflected away from the Earth, this energy is absorbed, and contributes to warming.
Parts of the Arctic Ocean are now as warm in summer as the North Sea is in winter, Prof Wadhams said.
When is so yesterday! Coyotes have been dropping for five years. The process has been satisfactorily papered over to a large extent. Managers have learned a lot about crisis management since 1929 and 1973 and 1987. When there are difficulties the managers know to run out the shills. The public and markets are credulous. They want to believe. Nobody wants a Greater Depression and will do whatever is possible to avoid one.
the cost of credit has become too high for individual buyers to afford.
"The Arctic sea-ice has long passed its tipping point, and so also have the other critical features in the polar north. We will soon have a very different, warmer Arctic climate with mind-boggling implications for the rate of Greenland melt, sea levels, the stability of permafrost and methane clathrates, and more extreme weather in the northern hemisphere. Welcome to the Arctic end times.

Some of us (Dirty Fcukin' Hippies...;} over the last 11 years have read what seems like a million words, watched hundreds of videos, studied thousands of images, posted and re-posted things we felt were relevant, made comments all over the internet, gained friends and allies, made enemies, got ridiculed and called names, evolved in our thinking, picked flyspecks out of pepper, waded through the muck of disinformation, debated and argued the hows, watched as the trolls and paid provocateurs came around to infiltrate the narrative, became frustrated, exhilarated, encouraged and discouraged and never once thought of giving up. We never made a nickel out of it. Our schooling didn't get us a degree. We did it because we had to. We had no choice. When we were told 'you are with us or you are against us,' we chose the against side. It was the side of right, not might. We may not be the brightest light bulb around but we haven't burnt out yet. We continue just because someone has to and we aren't afraid.
Eleven years ago, a major attack was carried upon the people all around the planet. This was an all-out onslaught of terror through the Spectacle, that resulted into a global fall into an Orwellian nightmare for most if not all of us.
This attack was used shock the public, especially the establishment, into calling out for total mindless vindication upon anyone wholl be labelled a «terrorist», by terrorist States. It was used to crush our civil liberties, develop an unprecedented grid of total surveillance upon the proles, through CCTVs and telecoms, as well as to bring despotic legal-militaristic measures to repress dissenters, immigrants and native people alike, put them into maximum security prisons;
and to further impose racist, restrictive immigration policies. It was also used to justify endless foreign military invasions worldwide, in what now seems to be part of the «new world order» agenda that George H.W. Bush called for, 22 years ago on the exact same date.
Whether intended or not, and conspiracy or not, the 9/11 attacks were the foundation for a new Nazi "Enabling Act", aimed at bringing ordinary fascism everywhere in the Western world, under a doctrine of Terror, of (inter)national (in)security.
I voted for him in 2008, by the way, since the wish-fulfillment motif moved me, and also because of the horrifying McCain-Palin opposition.
In office, then, Mr. Obama quickly proved to be a different breed of porpoise than the voters bargained for. He let the Wall Street privateers run amuck another four years, aided with colossal infusions of conjured-out-of-nothing "money" from the Federal Reserve.
He let loose the demons of a high-tech totalitarian "security" state with every sort of electronic surveillance, citizen data-mining, and drone spying that innovation allowed. He stood silent like a Banana Republic store mannequin after the supreme court decided that corporations could buy elections (he could have pushed loudly for legislation or even a constitutional amendment to redefine corporate "personhood").
And of course, he continued to prosecute the absurd war in Afghanistan where, after nine years, US forces are unable to accomplish the only aims of being there: to control the terrain and to moderate the behavior of the people who live there.

Taliban call Haqqani Network a 'conjured entity' By Bill RoggioSeptember 9, 2012
The Afghan Taliban derided the US's announcement that it would add the Haqqani Network to the list of terrorist entities and claimed the designation was an attempt to divide the group.
The Taliban released the statement yesterday on its propaganda website, Voice of Jihad. The statement was signed by "The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan," the official name of the Afghan Taliban.
In the statement, the Taliban claimed that there is "no separate entity or network in Afghanistan by the name of Haqqani," and that its overall leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani, is a member of the Quetta Shura, the group's top leadership council.
SNIP "In reality, what the western media refers to as Al Qaeda is nothing more than a Salafi Jihadists.
Salafists Islam is the version of Islam pre-dominate in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the government of Saudi Arabia actually recruits Islamic extremists from their schools to wage Salafi Jihad against other Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
The United States doesnt want you to know this because Saudi Arabias jihadists are used as a proxy mercenary army to conduct covert operations for the US Government.
For example, they were used to overthrow the Libya government and are actively working to overthrow the Syria government.
For a complete history of Saudi Arabias Salafi Jihadists see: Saudi Arabia Paying UK Trained Terrorists Up To $3,000/Mo To Jihad Against Syria ....;}

"We must strive to curtail the abuse of liberty by immediately ending all foreign occupations, closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, vigorously prosecuting the use of torture, repealing the Patriot Act, ending assassinations without trial and stopping the use of drone missiles to carry out random attacks abroad and drone aircraft to conduct domestic surveillance. Only by respecting the human rights and dignity of all of the world's people and the Constitutional rights of our own citizens here at home may we possibly hope to maintain the ideals of liberty and freedom that the founders of this great nation bestowed upon us."

Who is Ken, or Kenneth, Wainstein? Part II http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2012/03/09/who-is-ken-or-kenneth-wainste...
The last part goes over Wainstein's role in the investigation and prosecution of Riggs' money laundering, which may have been connected to the funding of terrorist activities. Interesting fact: "During the time that was at issue in the investigation, Jonathan Bush was a senior executive at Riggs. Jonathan Bush was the uncle of President Bush, who later appointed Wainstein to senior roles in his Administration."
As Bergman notes, many questions remain due to the absence of information in the public record, and there is little to give the public confidence investigations have been thorough and credible.
I stopped having hunches back in 2007 when Maslowski said 2013-2016 the Arctic Ice would be gone.

Saturday, August 25, 2012 Climate Change: The Last Domino
In the next to last week of August, 2012, it became plain that the first domino was falling.
In that week, every single measure of Arctic sea ice extent and area reached a new record low simultaneously. By the end of that week, area the best measure available had gone 8.5% below the previous record low (in 2011). And this was four weeks before the point where Arctic sea ice would reach its minimum for the year.
In that four weeks, the minimum continued its downward slide. For the first time in either 20,000 or 5 million years, major parts of the Central Arctic Basin above 80 degrees North were open water. Currents carried ice that was in most cases less than three feet thick across the North Pole and poured it steadily into the Fram Strait east of Greenland, where it melted. Less than 5% of Arctic sea ice remained by years end to build on for multi-year ice. And when October arrived, and the sun set permanently for the winter over the Arctic Ocean, refreezing was delayed, as the warmer water resisted the colder air.
And so it continued, until by 2018, in September, pretty much all of the ice in the Arctic Ocean was gone. And then the period of no ice widened, and widened, until somewhere between 2030 and 2045 there was no ice in the Arctic Ocean year-round. The water was warmer, as the sun in summer beat down and stored heat in that ocean to be released in the fall, and warmer currents from the south no longer were combated by cold ice, and global warming from the south increased the air temperatures to 20 degrees Fahrenheit and above in the depths of winter. And that ocean heat, in turn, warmed the global air by only 1 degree Fahrenheit. But that was only the first domino.
By 2030, we'll have had at least a decade where the Hoover Dam was doing nothing of consequence.
And the Temp will be 3oC over the 1760 Baseline.
This all goes to say that as long as climate change continues to advanceit seems that nothing can stop that nowand we maintain a global food system perennially subject to volatile price spikes and exploitation from speculators, without reform, our world will be an increasingly restive one. Hunger is coming, and so are the riots.
At the end of this article, I should perhaps mention that this research ultimately led to negative consequences for me. After I contacted the FBI, I was informed by the publisher of a German financial website, for which I conducted interviews for a professional fee (and had already prepared more work), that no further cooperation was possible. Now that I will come in one way or another into the focus of the FBI, any association with me would be undesirable.
Well, you know the rules.
As far as the abnormal option trades around 9/11 are concerned, I want to give Max Keiser the last word in order to point out the significance of the story.
Max Keiser: Regardless of who did it, we can know that more than a few had advance warning the trading in the option market makes that clear.
There's also lots of Heberts in Louisiana. They do everything from owning restaurants and tourist attractions, to running cattle and owning strings of bucking bulls and horses.
