I Thessalonians 5:20, 21

Do not despise expounding of scripture, but scrutinize all things. Hold fast that which is right.

Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium

- I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.

Palestine Maps - Then and Now - Tells the Story

_________________________________

__________________________
The "Chosen Ones" continue their slaughter of civilian Palestinians while the Western world looks on. Take a close look: This is the same treatment the rest of us will receive when the Zionist Occupied Government of the United States completes its takeover and continues implementing their plans for One World Government by controlling "domestic terrorists" within.

Why are the Palestinians firing "rockets' into Israeli land? That is what the US Jewish controlled media is not telling Americans:

The Jews of Israel are starving the Palestinians by not letting food and supplies through to the Gaza strip or into many parts of the West Bank. The Palestinians are slowly being starved to death right before the eyes of the world and the Jewish controlled media within and without the States is not saying a word.

Wouldn't you try to harm those who were trying to starve you and your family? Darn right you would. And what are the Palestinians firing? "Rockets." How many Israeli's have been killed by these "rockets?" None. That's right, none. And how many Palestinians have the Israeli's killed in retaliation for these "rocket" attacks? 700. That's right. Zero Israeli's killed, 700 starving Palestinians dead.

That's the story not being told - Jewish Israelis are starving the Palestinians and then killing them because they fire rockets at the Israelis, and those rockets have yet to kill one Israel.

These Jews are some people. "God's Chosen" indeed.

"Jews Totally Run Hollywood"

__________________________________
says Joel Stein. But Stein is upset - "I have never been so upset by a poll in my life." Why is Stein upset? Only 22 percent of Americans now believe, "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," which is down from nearly 50 percent in 1964. Stein also says, these lower figures "just shows how dumb Americans have gotten: Jews totally run Hollywood."

How Jewish is Hollywood?

Jewish media heads include:

News Corp. president Peter Chernin; Paramount Pictures chairman Brad Grey; Walt Disney Co. chief exec Robert Igor; Sony Pictures chairman Michael Lyndon; Warner Bros. chairman Barry Meyer; CBS Corp. chief exec Leslie Moonves; MGM chairman Harry Sloan; and NBC-Universal chief exec Jeff Zucker.

(Some of the most famous stars in front of the camera are also Jewish, as a recent CBS2Chicago slideshow demonstrates. Along with those more commonly known such as Billy Crystal and Steven Spielberg, famous Hollywood Jews include Harrison Ford, Adam Sandler, Michael Douglas, Sarah Michelle Gellar, the Gyllenhaals, Ben Kingsley, Kevin Kline, Kyra Sedgwick, Sean Penn, and many others.)

Stein writes, “The Jews are so dominant I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions of entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible achievement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC president Charles Collier, turned out to be Jewish.”


Despite the drop in numbers of Americans who believe Jews control Hollywood - from 50% to 22% in 44 years - and how dumb Americans have become, the Anti-Defamation League's head, Abraham Foxman, is troubled, but for a different reason than Stein: Foxman thinks the figure is too high. Foxman is troubled despite this lower 22% figure showing how successful Foxman and the ADL have been in deceiving Americans into believing that Jews actually don't control Hollywood. Foxman won't - I guess - be happy until every single American is completely and totally brainwashed into believing that Jews don't control Hollywood. Or get a "hate crime" law passed so he can force the last of us into silence about his deception.

Jews are good at deceiving others. They have deceived millions into believing that a Jewish holocaust occurred during WWII, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. To keep this evidence from the deceived public, men like Ernst Zundel and Germar Rudolf, among hundreds of others, are imprisoned in Mannheim Germany for refusing to be deceived and having their thoughts controlled.

Yes, folks, despite what Abe Foxman says, Hollywood and all that you see in the movies and television is controlled by Jewish interests: the scripts, the actors and actresses, the content, the production and the profits are all in Jewish hands. Virtually everything you see or hear emanating from Hollywood comes from a Jewish mind or goes through a Jewish filter. And another Jew, Joel Stein, is proud of that fact.

Stein concludes: “I don’t care if Americans think we’re running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street, or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.”


No wonder so much filth comes out of Hollywood which is used to undermine our culture. And no wonder Americans have become so dumb, how could they not when they spend so much time watching Jew 'creations' on the wide screen and on their 50 inch flat panel plasma HDTVs? How many divorces have gotten their spark from the wives sitting day after day and night after night watching the Jew filth pouring into their living rooms, extolling the 'virtues' of extra-marital affairs, marriage break-ups so women could 'find themselves,' promiscuous sex, male bashing, lesbianism and many other social ills?

Hey, you dumbed-down American reading this missive, shut off that Jewish filth and read a book. Yes, I said, "Read a book." May I suggest you start with, The International Jew, written back in 1920, by a non-deceived, non-dumbed down American, Henry Ford? He tried to warn us.

More U.S. Taxpayer Monies Given to Jewish Groups

_____________________________________
The $700 billion of U.S. taxpayer's money given to Jewish Wall Street banksters wasn't enough. Now, more U.S. taxpayer monies are to be given to Jewish groups to assist them in protecting themselves against the backlash that is sure to come. Zionist Jew Michael Chertoff and the Department of Homeland Security, through the Urban Areas Security Initiative Non-Profit Security Grant Program, will give 81.5 % of available program monies to fellow Jews.


Jewish institutions will receive the majority of U.S. federal funds designated this year to help secure non-profit organizations.

Of the 308 grants awarded through the Urban Areas Security Initiative Non-Profit Security Grant Program, 251 are being allocated to Jewish groups, totaling $19.6 million.


What will these funds be used for?

to provide everything from roadblocks to security cameras to blast-proof doors and windows at locations that could be terrorist targets.



Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Center director John Kim Cook said, "Our objective is to get right in the middle of [Department of Homeland Security] policy to really work with the programs of DHS to make sure there’s not [sic] discrimination."

The Florida Jewish News

Well, well, well, Mr. Cook. Looks to this American that you have discriminated against non-Jewish organizations when you award 81.5 % of the available funds of non-Jewish U.S. taxpayer funds to a group of people that represent about 2% of the American population.

But we understand why. Many of these 2% of the population are in the process of pulling off the biggest rape, plunder, pillage and destruction of the U.S. economy and are concerned that the rest of the 98% non-Jewish Americans might just wake-up and demand retribution against these criminals - thieves like Madeoff, Bernanke, Paulson, Shummer, Barney Queer Boy Frank, Greenspan, Summers, Rubin, and a long, long list of others.

Real chutzpah, steal American taxpayers monies by the billions, and then be given more taxpayer monies to protect themselves when the victims finally wake up and realize that the reason their pension funds are depleted, their economy is in a shambles and their economic future is bleak, is due mostly to the actions of the Jews who control their nation, all the way from AIPAC, to the Federal Reserve, to the Wall Street banksters, to the ADL, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and dirt bag scum collectors like Alan Dershowitz.

Methinks these particular Jews are going to need those roadblocks, security cameras, blast-proof doors and windows, and much, much more.

Illegal Domestic Militarization in Southern California

_______________________________
U.S. Marines and California Highway Patrol Working Together in San Bernardino County, California

Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Provost Marshal (head of a unit of military police) and the local California Highway Patrol office will begin working together 12/12 — and through the holiday season — in a joint effort to reduce accidents and drinking and driving. The combined mutual cooperation between the Marine Corps Military Police and State enforcement officers will begin somewhere along Highway 62. The CHP will set up DUI roadblocks with the presence of Military Police.


This joint effort is in direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

§ 1385. Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus
Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.


Cornell Law



The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) in the former Confederate states.

The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.

Posse Comitatus Act

Based upon TITLE 18 PART I CHAPTER 67 § 1385 any Highway Patrol officers who conduct joint effort police actions with U.S. Military can and should be arrested and charged with a felony.

One more example in a long list of governmental tyranny implemented incrementally. Start with a few U.S. Marines on a dangerous road during the holiday season to catch drivers - even U.S. Marines, "their own guys" - breaking the law - driving under the influence - with the good intention of making the streets safer for everyone.

But we all know where illegal action can and will go from here.

This is nothing more than a way to get the unsuspecting public used to the idea of the U.S. Military involved in domestic law enforcement activities.

Clearly unconstitutional. The question is, will anyone care? Not likely, as even Barry Soetoro and the U.S. Supreme Court doesn't think what the Constitution states matters much, if at all.

Got Stored Food?

______________________________________________
Food shortages showing up worldwide with more to come very soon. How do we know food will soon be in short supply? Look at the Baltic Dry Index.
________________________________
baltic_cry_index_dec_08
_______________________

What is the significance of this dramatic drop in the Baltic Dry Index [BDI]?


Changes in the Baltic Dry Index can give investors insight into global supply and demand trends. This change is often considered a leading indicator of future economic growth (if the index is rising) or contraction (index is falling) because the goods shipped are raw, pre-production material, which is typically an area with very low levels of speculation.

The index indirectly measures global demand for the commodities shipped aboard dry bulk carriers, such as building materials, coal, crude oil, metallic ores, and grains. These materials function as raw material inputs to the production of intermediate or finished goods, such as concrete, electricity, steel, and food, which makes the index an economic indicator of future manufacturing activity and, more generally, worldwide industrial output.

Investopedia

The BDI is considered a leading economic indicator of future economic activity. As we can see from the chart above, the BDI is indicating a bleak future for economic growth as global shipping of raw, pre-production material, including basic food stuffs, such as grains, sugar and rice, are curtailed.

As mentioned in a previous missive, Letters of Credit are not being honored or have become too expensive and may be a major reason for the dramatic drop in the BDI, along with falling global demand for basic commodities.

What does this mean? One important trend we can detect from this drop of 93% in shipping demand is that pre-production commodities needed to manufacture goods are not being made available to manufacturers, which will undoubtedly lead to future shortages in manufactured goods.

Perhaps more importantly, the precipitous fall in the BDI means that basic food stuffs - wheat, sugar, rice, etc - are not being shipped. In my locale I've already noticed there is no more wheat bread being made available at my location of the world’s third largest retail business. Also, Thai or any other imported rice is no longer available at the local Asian market that stocks imported food stuffs. The shop keepers there told me that Thailand is no longer shipping their rice. As an aside, Thai rice farmers have started guarding their rice fields as rice as become a much more valuable commodity. Thai farmers guard their fields
______________________________
thai_ farmers_ guard_ rice
__________________

What does this all mean for the average person like you and me? We will begin to see fewer and fewer imported goods on local store shelves. Unless the letters of credit system that businesses have used for centuries gets back on track and businesses can once again rely on the good faith and credit of the issuing banks, we will see continued shortages of a growing list of commodities, such as grains used in brewing beer, sugar in baking and other food production and rice used as a stable food source in many consumer's diets.

Once consumers notice shortages on their local shelves, the natural reaction will be to start buying what they can buy and store those foodstuffs at home rather than expect them to be available at a future date on store shelves. At that point, food shortages will appear overnight.

The other factor that will soon lead to a mad rush to buy commodities of all kinds, including food, is inflation. Once consumers realize the fiat currency they hold in their hand is losing purchasing power day-by-day, buying less tomorrow than it can today, they will buy today what they need tomorrow, leading to even more inflation as the velocity of money - how many times money changes hands - increases.

Bottom line is, Got stored food?

So Much for Global Warming

_____________________________________

Record Snow fall and cold weather hit many parts of the United States

Las Vegas Copes With Rare Snowfall

The storm left 3.6 inches at McCarran International Airport. It was biggest December snowfall on record here, and the worst for any month since a 7 1/2 -inch accumulation in January 1979.


Kansas

The Texas Panhandle had lows in the single digits, and Goodland, Kan., registered a record low of minus 10.


Denver

Record lows Monday included minus 19 in Denver, where the previous Dec. 15 record of minus 6 was set in 1951


Seattle


Monday's 19-degree low temperature at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was the coldest for the date in 60 years, the National Weather Service said.


Oklahoma City

Monday was the coldest Dec. 15 ever in Oklahoma City, with the previous coldest high for the date, 19 degrees, having been recorded in 1901.


Southern California


"It's going to be cold," said National Weather Service specialist Stuart Seto, who predicted light snow for Southern California foothills as low as 1,500 feet Tuesday. "That's unusual this time of year. That's more common in a late January storm."


God even made it snow in Tennessee.


Dozens of schools closed in Kentucky, Arkansas and Tennessee


Winter weather systems have threatened Middle Tennessee twice in the past week, which begs the question: What does happen if a big snowstorm or ice storm hits?


Thursday's storm was the first time measurable snow has fallen in the area in December since 2000.


Will Al Gore be asked to return his Nobel Prize?

"Warming is ‘greatest challenge’ ever." Al Gore


Greatest challenge ever? Hardly Mr. Gore, but dealing with the many frauds prevalent today, global warming being one of them, and the alleged holocaust another, rank right up there.

Steal $50 Billion - Get House Arrest

_________________________________
The Jew Bernard Madeoff admits to bilking investors out of $50 billion in one of "Wall Street's biggest frauds in history" and is placed under House Arrest? Does one need anymore more proof than this that there are two standards of so called "justice" in the US today? This case is not about someone assumed innocent until proven guilty. Madeoff confessed. He wasn't even tortured in Abu Ghraib to get the confession. He freely admits much of his later years has been spent promoting a Ponzi scheme which has robbed hundreds of individuals and organizations, including charities, out of billions, and yet, the judge gives him house arrest? Madeoff even gets to leave his house!

This all makes sense when you discover that the Judge in the case is one of the "Chosen Ones," the U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein.

Ernst Zundel has questions about the alleged holocaust and, at 67 years old, gets five years in a Mannheim cross bar hotel, but Madeoff, steals an admitted $50 billion and gets house arrest?

With $50 billion [or will it actually be $100 billion?] of other people's money to play with, you can be sure that his house is not the typical 1200 square foot three bedroom two bath the average American pays a mortgage on either. And which house is he confined to, the home in Montauk, New York, or the spread in Palm Beach, Florida?
Fredrick Toben gets 50 days behind bars for his thoughts regarding the alleged Jewish holocaust, but Madeoff, who actually does a crime and admits to it, gets to have dinner at expensive New York restaurants, as long as he is home by 9 p.m.?

Hey judge Gorenstein, steal $50 billion and get house arrest? That's chutzpah.

How Guns Protect Innocent People

__________________________________________
News you most likely did not hear about on the Jewish controlled media, who push for control in the United States, while allowing Israelis to be well armed in Israel:
Homeowner shoots intruder in the face, torso

........Lopez began kicking in the front door. Lopez entered the house and, during the ensuing confrontation, he was shot in the face and his upper torso, according to Sgt. Mark Marino of Gilbert police.

Marino said at this time the homeowner won't be charged by the Gilbert police.

Authorities are investigating any connections to other East Valley burglaries, Marino said.

Homeowner Shoots Intruder

Off-Duty Assistant Police Chief Shoots Intruder


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A masked teenager with a gun was shot and police are looking for one or two others that were believed to be burglarizing an assistant police chief's home Saturday night when that officer and his wife came home.

"Chief Tranquille, obviously seeing and sensing the immediate danger that he and his wife were in, took immediate action to protect his wife and himself from a potential deadly situation," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Rick Graham said Sunday. "Chief Tranquil fired his service weapon at the suspects, who turned and ran in different directions."

Kudos to Andrew Cuomo, AG of New York

____________________________________________
If more attorney generals got aggressive against these Jewish banksters, like start putting them behind bars, maybe they'd stop stealing, pillaging, plundering and otherwise looting the nation's treasury.


“current reports that the Board is considering giving Merrill’s Chief Executive Officer a $10 million bonus are nothing less than shocking.”

See here: Spare a little schadenfreude for Merrill's CEO

According to Merriam Webster's dictionary - schadenfreude: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others

The problem with Governor Cuomo's efforts, are they are about 30 years too late. But given what happened to New York's previous attorney general, Eliot Spitzer, it's a wonder anyone is doing anything. One thing we can surmise from Cuomo's letter is, as far as he knows, those whom he is chastising have, as of yet, nothing on him to bring about his downfall. Rest assured however, they are searching under every nook and cranny to find some dirt to use against him.

How to Devalue All the World's Currencies at Once

____________________________________________

Two things to notice - see Significant News - at this Forbes.com article are, one) the mainstream media author referred to the Wall Street bankers as banksters, [I've done just that on dozens of occasions long before this guy] and, two) he is suggesting that the devaluation of all the world's currencies - particularly the US dollar - would solve many of the problems these banksters created.

You have to look closely for when he offers the solution, and many of his readers no doubt missed it, but it's there. Can you find it?

Dollar Devaluation To Fix The Great Recession

[I think he wants to say Great Depression, but has been told not to use that term by his editor. But that is what is coming - another Great Depression.]


A quick dollar devaluation would work wonders for submerged borrowers. Don't kid yourself: It could happen.

Oh, we're not kidding ourselves Mr. Beck, we know it could happen and most likely will, once the banksters get all their golden ducks in a row.

Hint for finding Mr. Beck's solution: What's been used as a store of value for over 4000 years.

Now you know why the banksters - through the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, other wise known as the Plunge Protection Team - have been working 24/7 around the world manipulating to depress the Comex spot gold price. They want to control it all before they publicly and openly provide the solution.

While Mainstream Newspapers Die, A Major Newspaper is Born

___________________________________________
Amongst the growing corpses of dying Jewish owned and controlled major newspapers, eg. the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, US media giant considers bankruptcy ,the Miami Herald , etc. a new major nationwide newspaper has been born. The USA Tomorrow. The paper's first few articles cover the usual anti-big government conservative topics, the IRS, the illegal Iraq war, Christian bashing, the homosexual agenda, illegal immigration, etc. USA Tomorrow's Featured Writer's are Chuck Baldwin, Paul Craig Roberts and Devy Kidd. The line-up and the current article topics reminded me of the Spotlight and the Conservative Chronicle, two "right-wing" newspapers I used to subscribe to in the 1980s. In fact, both Chuck Baldwin and Paul Craig Roberts could be found among the contributors of the Conservative Chronicle. Mostly likely, Patrick Buchanan will soon be added to the masthead of USA Tomorrow.

At least USA Tomorrow doesn't have Larry Kudlow, William Kristol or Ben Shapiro on board. But it's still early in the paper's history. so will have to wait to see if USA Tomorrow succumbs.

The United States is indeed in need of newspapers that cover the topics and issues that none of the mainstream Jewish owned dailies are not willing to touch even with a HAZMAT suit. USA Tomorrow, so far has also not touched a topic that needs to be addressed.

There's little use in launching a nationwide newspaper that is going to refuse to mention - by name - the people behind the current problems that the Western world, indeed the world at large, is facing. USA Tomorrow's writers and the articles they have written, no doubt for fear of being labeled "antisemitic" or "racists, or "anti-Israel" or worse, "anti-Jewish" and "hatemongers," have failed to touch the dreaded "J" word - the JEWS. Specifically, the International Jews Henry Ford warned us about, the Zionists who have gained control of our government and the Jewish bankers who have controlled our banking system - including the non-Federal - non-Reserve System - since 1913 and is dragging the rest of the world down with them into financial chaos. After all, there is no doubt that if those who were doing the dirty deeds and fleecing Americans like these Chosen Ones are, were say, Muslims, the rest of us would never hear the end of it. And heads would be demanded. But, because those who are doing the criminal activity in our midst and lately, in our face, are Jewish, we dare not talk about them by name.

Unless and until we get over our fear of discussing the truth - regardless of who is involved - nothing - despite what the Zionist puppet Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama says - will change in our world.

And time is running short.

Update February 19, 2009: Seems USA Tomorrow is Ponzi style scam. USA tomorrow Ponzi Scam Uncovered

Hello, Americans, Bailed Out Citigroup Just Ripped You Off

___________________________________
In support of what was said here: The Two Economies

However, it was the financial world that got bailed out - not the real world. Those Wall Street conglomerate banks - those "too big to fail" - received public money at taxpayer expense - in the billions. With those billions they are now able to buy up the companies that their greed, mismanagement, fraud and other nefarious activity in large part caused to go bankrupt. With public money - these financial behemoths are now poised to buy up real assets and infrastructure needed in the real world to produce real goods and services.


We have this:

Bailed-Out Bank Goes on Toll Road Buying Binge


Just one week after receiving a pledge of $306 billion in support from US taxpayers, Citigroup announced the intended $10 billion acquisition of a debt-laden Spanish toll road group. Citi Infrastructure Partners will hand over $3.6 billion in cash and assume $6.3 billion in debt from Sacyr Vallehermoso, the parent company of the Intinere Infraestructuras toll road group. Itinere operates 32 toll roads in Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Portugal and Spain and Ireland. Another twelve concessions are under construction. Sacyr today issued a statement to Spanish investors noting that the company succeeded in offloading 37 percent of its total debt to the US firm.
Bailed out Citigroup fund spends $10 billion buying 44 foreign toll roads.


Bailed-Out Bank Goes on Toll Road Buying Binge

A few questions:

Wasn't that "support" from US taxpayers supposed to go for loans to American consumers?

What is Citigroup, on the verge of bankruptcy, doing buying infrastructure?

What is Citigroup, on the verge of bankruptcy, doing buying infrastructure in foreign countries?

Don't those toll roads Citigroup is buying actually belong to the US taxpayers?

Backwardation

_________________________________________

In over thirty years of looking up economic terms - this is the first time I had to look up "backwardation." Backwardation is when it is cheaper to buy a futures rather then a current spot priced commodity. In other words, the future price of a commodity, in the instant case, gold, is discounted in relation to the current spot price of gold.

What this means is - traders on the Comex Exchange are willing to pay a premium to take delivery of their contracts for gold rather than roll them over and take delivery in the future, even though the futures price is trading at a lower price [a discount] than the current spot price.

Why? There is a risk that gold in the futures contract will not be delivered. To insure - without risk - the buyer of gold has actual physical possession - he will demand delivery of the gold as per contract even though the spot or current price is higher than the futures price. He could sell at the higher spot price and take delivery in 30 days time at the lower futures price, and lock in a no-risk profit, but the buyer wants to guarantee he has gold in his possession.

Backwardation, if the condition persists for any length of time, will cause the collapse of the Comex market, because commercial traders - trying to preserve their financial future - will take delivery of gold at the current market price, rather than risk of taking delivery in the future and holding paper gold in the interim.

If this abnormal backwardation situation persists, the supply of gold will go to zero, as no one will be willing to sell the gold they have - that is, they will refuse to trade their gold for any currency, and the demand for gold will go to infinity, as an increasing number of investors seek to preserve their wealth by unloading fiat currencies and holding gold.

With the mounting and unpayable debt accumulating in the US and elsewhere, e.g. Iceland and certain Eastern European and Latin American countries, we will witness an increasing flight to hard assets such as gold and a collapse of the world's fiat currencies. Gold will soon not be for sale at any price. Those who do not hold gold will be up Proverbial Creek.

The Two Economies

_____________________________________
Two economies exist - the real economy, where goods and services that society needs are produced or provided by industries. The other economy is the financial sector - the commercial paper economy - nominally the Wall Street banks and their London and European counterparts - that utilize and depend on the real economy for their existence and paper profits. Without the real economy, the financial giants of Wall Street and their cohorts abroad, could not gain paper wealth, would not have a basis from which their derivatives are derived from, their hedge funds to hedge or their Masters of the Universe hotshot brokers to naked short sell.

It is these private financiers in the financial economy - the paper economy - that are killing the real economy. It started with the sub-prime paper mortgages that the predatory banks loaned to home buyers who they knew or should have known could not afford the loan. Those subprime loans were then packaged together and sold as mortgage backed securities - MBS - around the world. When the loans underlying those MBSs went bust - in the real world - the banks who sold those bad MBS - like Bear Stearns and Lehman Bros - and those who bought those MBSs and held them on their books as assets - starting going bust. Investors in those banks - banks like WaMu, IndyMac, Northern Rock - and their depositors starting losing their funds, all in the real world.

However, it was the financial world that got bailed out - not the real world. Those Wall Street conglomerate banks - those "too big to fail" - received public money at taxpayer expense - in the billions. With those billions they are now able to buy up the companies that their greed, mismanagement, fraud and other nefarious activity in large part caused to go bankrupt. With public money - these financial behemoths are now poised to buy up real assets and infrastructure needed in the real world to produce real goods and services.

Paper wealth - the fictional wealth - of the financial world is being transformed into control and ownership of real world productive wealth - service corporations, natural resources, infrastructure, industry, etc.

These are very intelligent people who are behind this entire financial catastrophe we are all now victims of. When the smoke clears, those who did this - the Rubins, Greenspans, Bernankes, Clintons, Paulsons, Summers, Bushes, and a whole host of others should not be allowed to maintain control of the assets they are now buying - with public money - through their Wall Street buddies.

They should all be held accountable - criminally charged and dealt with. A public hanging would be best.

Stocking Up On Spam

_________________________________________________

Although the missive Got Spam? posted back on October 1, was more tongue in cheek than advice, "This missive was done mostly in humor. I'd have to be near death to eat this pig food," it appears some Americans are keeping the employees at Hormel's Austin, Minnesota factory, producers of Spam, busily employed:


Employees are working flat out and next door the slaughter house butchers 19,000 pigs a day. “People are realising it’s not that bad a product,” said Dan Johnson, 55, who operates a 70ft (20m) oven in the factory.

Spam is a Great Depression food, having been invented by Jay Hormel, son of the founder of the company, during America's first Great Depression. It is only fitting therefore, that during the start of the Greater Depression, Americans are stocking up on Spam, as this coming depression is fleshing out to be much more severe.

It's the Stupidity, Stupid, Part II, an Example

____________________________________________

__________________________

The Question:

"Recent polls have shown that a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

Miss South Carolina's Answer

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans do so because, um, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education such as, uh, South Africa and, uh,the Iraq and everywhere such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education here in the U.S. uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future."


How stupid can stupid be?

Another example:

Here's Palin's response, after Matt Lauer asked her when she knew the election was lost:


"I had great faith that, you know, perhaps when that voter entered that voting booth and closed that curtain that what would kick in for them was, perhaps, a bold step that would have to be taken in casting a vote for us, but having to put a lot of faith in that commitment we tried to articulate that we were the true change agent that would progress this nation."

"I have no idea what she said in that thicket of words."

Palin is worth $7 million for her book?

It's the Stupidity, Stupid

___________________________________________
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid so many Americans are. This last election is a case on point. The vast majority of Americans were against the Wall Street bank's bailout - so much so that their representatives in the House actually voted as most Americans' demanded - [when was the last time that happened?] - and against the bailout - the first time around that is.

The second time around, under the threat of martial law for Americans if the bailout wasn't passed, by ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs Henry Paulson, these same representatives voted for the bailout - even adding an additional $150 billion of borrowed funds to the already prodigious pile of debt - $700 billion, and hurriedly, with no strings attached, placed the entire stack in Paulson's grubby hands which he promptly dealt out to his Wall Street bankster buddies. The politicians weren't acting stupid mind you. They know who is bribing them and who isn't. They are, after all, smart enough to call a bribe a "campaign contribution" which is more than enough to fool the stupid voters.

The stupidity lies with these same Americans who were against the bailout - but who voted these traitor representatives right back into office. All the incumbents to be thrown out of office was a bit too much to expect, but I would have thought that at least half of the incumbents would be looking for a real world job now, instead of being returned by the very constituents they betrayed right back to the pork trough. How stupid can stupid be?

These same politicians have funded the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - giving the Bush administration all the funds requested and more. But Americans voted these war mongering representatives back into office, all the while being burdened with taxes to pay for these wars - wars with no end in sight. Wars that are killing thousands of innocent people and killing hundreds of young Americans and maiming for life thousands more. I guess Americans like their young people being killed for Israel? I guess Americans like their money being wasted on wars that are making the same AIPAC controlled politicians, who vote taxpayer funds to pay for the wars, rich? How stupid can stupid be?

Despite all the worst economic news in most American's lifetimes, and a stock market gyrating up and down like a new slinky - obviously manipulated by the President's Working Group on Financial Markets - aka the PPT - causing investors to lose money - many of them their life's savings - and yet some investors still remain in the market to get fleeced time and time again? Indeed, a fool and his money are soon parted.

And then we have this illegal alien Barry Soetoro being put forth by the Democratic National Committee as their presidential candidate without even making sure he's qualified. My guess is they knew he isn't qualified, but think Americans are too stupid to do anything about it or even care. Worse, we have millions of stupid people thinking, if stupid people can even think, that this Kenyan is going to bring about 'change' even after he has appointed many of the former Clinton administration retreads to his administration-in-waiting, all the while Soetoro has thumbed his nose at the United States Supreme Court and the U.S. Constitution, which any American president is sworn to uphold and defend, as his most important duty.

Come on folks, you still hope in an unknown guy - most of his records have been sealed or withheld from public scrutiny - who doesn't respect the highest law of the law - the very law that our nation is founded upon?

How stupid can stupid be?

If the voters aren't stupid enough, we have the Hagee supporters - allegedly some 70 million strong - who support Zionist Israel - "Christians United For Israel" - as Israelis practice apartheid and commit genocide against the Palestinians. These Christians "United for Israel" think it's God's will that they help God out by hastening Christ's return by fomenting the battle of Armageddon, complete with nuclear war - all for the sake of "God's Chosen People." You know, those same chosen few who rejected God's Son, Jesus Christ. Rejection wasn't enough, the apple of God's eye settled for nothing less than crucifixion, demanding his death with a "his blood be upon us and our children." Matthew 27:25 These same Hageeites, almost to a rapture hopeful Sunday go-to-meeting pew warmer, convinced they will not be left behind, have been duped by the Zionist funded reference bible compiled by a true deadbeat dad, C.I. Scofield. How stupid can stupid be?

Yes, the ongoing collapse of the United States is the result of stupidity.

“People get the government they deserve.”

It's the stupidity, stupid.

Pentagon Preparing for Domestic Unrest

____________________________________________
Despite the Pentagon's stated purpose "all the forces would be trained to respond to a domestic catastrophe.....to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive attack" - the military is being mobilized inside the United States. Yes, the military may be used to respond to the stated reasons, but those catastrophes may just be the same type of false flag operation the Mossad and the US military pulled off on September 11, 2001.

The fact that this domestic troop deployment inside US borders undermines the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in domestic law enforcement, appears to be of no concern to the Congress, the military or the president. This violation of the Posse Comitatus Act should, however, be of concern to American citizens. Americans may be facing their own military in the not too distant future. Of course, in any martial law action, which was already threated by Henry Paulson when Congress was voting on the bailout bill, the military would be utilized to enforce the restrictions martial law would impose, like curfews, travel restrictions and weapons confiscation, as we saw take place in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. Don't think these things can't happen in the good ole US of A? Think again my friend, they are happening.

See more here: Washington Post

And look how deception measures are being used to deceive the unsuspecting public about the role of the Posse Comitatus Act. Here is a website under the deception domain name homelandsecurity.orgthat discusses "The Myth of Posse Comitatus."

In his conclusion, Major Craig T. Trebilcock, U.S. Army Reserve, states, "Under both the statutory and constitutional exceptions that have permitted the use of the military in law enforcement since 1980, the president has ample authority to employ the military in homeland defense against the threat of weapons of mass destruction in terrorist hands."

Of course, Mr. Trebilcock, all the military has to say is they are simply seeking to defend the rest of us from weapons of mass destruction, the same weapons of mass destruction that the same military didn't find in Iraq.
