THE NEWS THAT THOUSANDS...WILL BE KICKED OFF STATE MEDICAID SOON....PRESENTS SOME INTERESTING MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES...
ESPECIALLY NOW THAT TWO AND A HALF MEN HAS BEEN CANCELED...!
WITH THOUSANDS OF POOR PEOPLE NOW UNABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE...
THE NETWORKS SHOULD START TELEVISING THEIR LAST AGONIES AND GASPS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC...
I'M SURE THE RATINGS WOULD BE THROUGH THE ROOF ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS... AND PERHAPS "DR DEATH" KEVORKIAN COULD BE THE HOST...? YA THINK...?
LIKE THE ANCIENT ROMANS... WHO "ONLY" KILLED CRIMINALS IN THE ARENA...FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF THE MASSES...
WHY NOT USE THE DEATHS OF THE AMERICAN UNINSURED AS "REALITY TV"...AT LEAST THAT WAY THEIR DEATHS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USELESS...OR WORSE A BURDEN ON THE TAXPAYER.
JUST A MODEST PROPOSAL...FOR ...FIN DE SIECLE.... AMERICA....
WILL THERE BE A THIRD OCCUPATION OF A MUSLIM/OIL NATION...?
INVADING LIBYA AND STEALING THEIR OIL...MAY BE A BIT EASIER THAN WHAT BUSH HAD IN MIND IN IRAQ...!
People who are educated, logical and telling the truth don't think they have to shout...and rant.
And that really has been a BIG problem for Progressives on "conservative media"...where the "ART OF THE SHOUT DOWN"...is essential for making a point...
The sad thing is that we have so few ranters on the left...with the exception of a few black preachers... It would be so easy to take down the crackpot right...with a Progressive who could rant...
Notice that whenever a Progressive is interupted by a Right Wing Screamer...the Progressive always shuts up... And if they don't shut up...the Wing Nut just screams louder...until the moderator steps in...
Americans are being deprived of vital information...by the Brown Shirt tactics of the Fox Right...
THE NOTION THAT AMERICANS ARE GOING TO TURN ON THEIR NEIGHBORS WHO WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR IS FALLING FLAT...
AMERICANS REALIZE THAT THE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND WALL STREET ARE BEHIND THIS ATTACK ON PUBLIC UNIONS...BECAUSE UNIONS ARE THE LAST BASTION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS LIFESTYLE IN AMERICA...
WHILE THE PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE CURRENT DEPRESSION... THEY SHOULD NOT BE DEGRADED LIKE THE PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS HAVE BEEN FOR DECADES...
ITS TIME TO BRING ALL WORKERS UP TO A LIVING WAGE AND A MIDDLE CLASS LIFESTYLE...
WE KNOW WHO THE REAL LOOTERS ARE... WE KNOW WHO DESTROYED THE AMERICAN ECONOMY...AND ITS NOT THE TEACHERS UNION...
ALL PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY IN HOLLYWOOD...
THIS "CRAZY CHARLIE" ACT IS SO PHONY.... JUST LISTEN TO IT...
ITS PRESENTED LIKE AN ACTOR DOING A FIRST READING OF HIS LINES... CHARLIE SHEEN IS READING A SCRIPT IN HIS HEAD...
AND REMEMBER...GOING "BAD BOY"...IS A MONEY MAKER FOR A LOT OF HOLLYWOOD TYPES THESE DAZE...
CHARLIE IS JEALOUS OF LADY GA GA...
HE WANTS IN ON THE NEW HOLLYWOOD "NEO-DADA" STYLE...
HMMM....GAGA...AND DADA... IS THERE A CONNECTION...?
ALWAYS REMEMBER ... ITS NOT "NEO-DADA" ...UNLESS ITS TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS...
AMERICA IS LIKE BERLIN IN THE 1920S....
ONLY THE OUTRAGEOUS SELLS...
Presently...the only valid Progressive policy is one that is good for people short term and long term...
Because what has happen, in and to, America over the last 20 years...is a model about : "How not to run an economy and a nation"...
International Capital was allowed to loot the economy ... move it off shore...and THEN get bailed out when the system collapsed...
The Democrats or Progressives should have spoken up sooner...about the Wall Street looting...
But the Republicans never could have...because they and their backers where doing the looting... Republicans say all government is bad...and they prove it everytime they run the government...!
At this point its too late to "go back"...too late to protect the industrial base...or have single payer health care... or cut the Imperial War/Military Budgets... or have a FED that stands up to Wall Street instead of making sure the punch bowl is overflowing all the time...
A straight line decline is now in effect...and everyone knows it...
Its too late now...
Americans are being told that they are "too poor" to expect anything now...
Even as the FED continues to stuff International Corporations with paper money to build more factories in Asia...IF AND WHEN "Demand" on Main Street ever picks up again...
This thing is an out of control...
Not all Borders stores are closing... At least not yet... But the demise of a big box store...has got to have consequences for publishers...
Borders will probably survive as a much smaller company...perhaps with more attention to the online portion of their income...
The distribution of books by specialty retailers may be growing but I dont see it was replacing the book store totally... Most of these stores are selling books as an impulse buy for customers...and not providing a good selection ...
For selection and price...the Internet is still the biggest competition for the B&M retailer...
The digitization of print media is only now getting serious...the transition to paperless media will continue...
Even in the "coffee table" or picture book area...the Internet can deliver high quality images much quicker and cheaper than the best printing companies can produce...
SO FAR THE CUTS ARE ALL TALK...
LETS SEE THE REAL THING...ASAP...
I WANT TO SEE LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS, PARKS, UNIVERSITIES CLOSED...AND HEALTH CARE CUT...
I WANT TO SEE TUITION AT STATE UNIVERSITIES DOUBLED IN ONE YEAR...
I WANT TO SEE NPR AND PBS CANCELED...BECAUSE AMERICANS DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING DECENT AND INTELLIGENT...
I WANT TO SEE ROADS UNPLOWED OF SNOW...DETERIORATING AND UNREPAIRED...BRIDGES IN DECAY... GRASS UNMOWED... WEEDS GROWING IN GOVERNMENT PARKING LOTS...
I WANT TO SEE THE FOX REPUBLICAN DREAM IN ACTION...!
WHEN DOES IT START...I'M READY FOR IT...
The fact that Beck acts the stupid "everyman" role is not in question... Or even that Beck cites historical facts ...often even accurately...
Its his conclusions that are hair brained...
Beck is like a psychotic person... who "seems normal" at first...
But slowly, slowly you start to realize that something is wrong with this person...
To the extent that Beck notes that the nation is doomed...that's fine...it is.
But the notion that International Capital and Wall Street are not at fault...and somehow government is evil and always to blame by some bizaare historical law that only Beck knows about...is just wrong...
We know this from the 1930's debacle ... And a few recessions and financial collapses since then...
Yes...Bad government is wrong...as Republicans prove to us every few years...
But good government along Progressive principals is why we don't have slavery and have child labor laws...and a bunch of other things like Social Security and Medicare...which everyone loves to hate...but can't do without...
International Capital has looted the US economy to the point of no return...so whether you get your gloom and doom from real academics and liberals... or, from the Fox cranks and crackpots makes no difference...
Its all the same deal...
ON FOX AND FREAKS....IT WAS ALWAYS SICK...NOW, ITS GETTING SICKER...AND ITS GOING TO GET REALLY SICK IN A FEW MONTHS...!
THESE ARE THE END TIMES...THE US ECONOMY IS ALMOST READY TO COLLAPSE FOR THE LAST TIME...
EXPECT THINGS TO GET REALLY FREAKY LATER THIS YEAR...AND I MEAN REALLY FREAKY...
FOX HAS GONE AROUND THE BEND NOW...
THEY HAVE DROPPED THE FASCADE OF BEING... "FOR THE PEOPLE".... OR "IN THE CORNER" OF THE POOR STUPID PEOPLE WHO WATCH THEIR PROGRAMING...
NOW FOX VIEWERS ARE BEING TOLD "YOU ARE POOR AND YOU DESERVE TO BE POOR"...
LEAVE THE ULTRA RICH ALONE...!!
WELL...MAYBE...
BUT THE UNIONS IN WISCONSIN AREN'T DEAD YET...
SO DON'T DO A VICTORY DANCE ON THE GRAVE OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS JUST YET...
ITS NOT YET.... "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"...FOR FOX AND THE LOOTERS...!
IS THIS THE LONG AWAITED COLLAPSE OF THE POX AMERICANA...!
THE NOTION OF LIEBERMAN AND MCCAIN GOING TO EGYPT TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF EVENTS IS DANGEROUS...AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE...
AS THE INEVITABLE COLLAPSE OF AMERICA CONTINUES...THE RISE OF CHRISTIAN FASCIST POLITICS IS CLEAR...
THE FOX REPUBLICANS ARE PUTTING BORN AGAIN CRANKS ON THE PATH TO POWER...
MAYBE THE ISSUE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING WOULDN'T BE IMPORTANT...
I SPENT TWO WEEKS ON OR NEAR TAHRIR SQUARE BEFORE THE REVOLUTION LAST YEAR....AND THERE IS NOTHING OF INTEREST THERE...
TAHRIR SQUARE IS ESSENTIALLY A LARGE UNCONTROLLED TRAFFIC CIRCLE THAT TOURISTS HAVE TO NAVIGATE...AT GREAT RISK... TO GET TO THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM...SINCE THERE ARE NO CLEAR CUT WAYS FOR PEDESTRIANS TO GET FROM THE EAST SIDE OF THE SQUARE TO THE WEST SIDE...WHERE THE MUSEUM IS LOCATED...
THE SQUARE IS UNREMARKABLE AND NONDESCRIPT...DUSTY, DRY AND POLLUTED...THE BEST THINGS ON TAHRIR ARE THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF CARIO AT ONE END...WHICH HAS A VERY NICE CLEAN QUIET BOOKSTORE...AND THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM AT THE OTHER END..
THE SECRET TO GETTING ACROSS THE TAHRIR TO THE MUSEUM IN ONE PIECE...IS TO USE TWO OR THREE OF THE METRO UNDERGROUND SUBWAYS WHICH CONNECT IN A RATHER BIZARRE COMBINATION ...THIS AVOIDS THE HORRIBLE TRAFFIC CHAOS THAT IS FOUND ON MOST EGYPTIAN ROADS...TAHRIR BEING AMONG THE WORST...
ITS RATHER ODD THAT ONLY A SHORT DISTANCE FROM MIDAN TAHRIR...IS MAIDAN TAALAT HARB...WHERE THE ANTI BRITISH RIOTS OF 1952 STARTED...
AND THEY SAY THIS GUY IS CRAZY...?
I DON'T THINK SO...! THE PROBLEM WITH CRAZY PEOPLE IS SOMETIMES THEY TELL THE TRUTH...WHEN THE TRUTH IS NOT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE.
WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICAN NETWORK TV...PUKEFEST DESCRIBES IT PERFECTLY!
THE BERNANKE PUT HAS MADE THIS NEW BUBBLE POSSIBLE...AND IT WILL LIKELY DESTROY IT.
THE MARKET IS TRYING TO EMBRACE THE FED MONEY MACHINE...AND GET BACK TO THE SAD JOY OF THE BERNANKE PUT...
THE REST OF THE YEAR WILL BE DOWN...AS THE GUTTED STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HIT THE MARKETS... OH...YEAH...AND $4 GAS... SO IT WILL BE HARDER FOR CORPORATIONS TO MAKE OR FAKE THEIR NUMBERS...
MY SENSE IS THAT THIS WILL BE THE SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT...
AMERICANS WILL JOIN THE RIOTING THAT IS SWEEPING THE GLOBAL...AS THE LOOTING ELITES TRY TO KEEP THE LID ON....
ITS REALLY TOO LATE NOW... THE CORE OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IS DEAD...ITS A ZOMBIE...DECLINE CONTINUES...THE ECONOMY HAS ALREADY DIED WITH A WHIMPER...IN FLY OVER COUNTRY...
THE MASSIVE GUTTING OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR IN STATES AND CITIES...IS ONLY TALK NOW... THE REAL CUTS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES ARE YET TO BE FELT IN THE REAL ECONOMY...
THE WALL STREET PART OF THE US ECONOMY WILL GO OUT WITH A BANG...EVERYTHING IS BEING DONE TO SAVE THE PAPER ECONOMY...BUT IT CAN NOT SURVIVE THE COLLAPSE ON MAIN STREET...
The declines continue...and speed up... There is very little that can save the American Zombie economy now...
All arrows are down...and the FED continues to print money...
The only hope is to have no hope...
Americans have embraced their economic doom...
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DOUBT THAT GOVERNOR WALKER OF WISCONSIN WILL BE SUBJECTED TO A RECALL...AS SOON AS HE IS ELIGIBLE TO BE RECALLED...
THE BILL TO ALLOW THE SALE OF STATE PROPERTY WITHOUT BIDS...IS BEYOND THE PALE... THE NOTION OF STRIPPING PUBLIC UNIONS OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING...IS A ONE SHOT DEAL THAT WILL NOT SURVIVE A STATE WIDE VOTE...
WALKER SEEMS TO BE ON A SUICIDE MISSION FOR THE KOCH BROTHERS...WHO WILL LIKELY BE THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE LAW THAT WALKER WANTS TO PASS...TO TURN WISCONSIN OVER TO THE MERCIES OF INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL SPECIAL INTERESTS...ALL IN THE NAME OF "JOB CREATION"...!
ONE THING IS CLEAR...WALKER WILL HAVE TO FACE THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN...LONG BEFORE HIS TERM IS UP... THIS GUY IS GUARNTEED TO BE SUBJECT TO RECALL AS SOON AS HE IS ELIGIBLE...AND LIKELY THE WISCONSIN ELECTORATE WILL NOT APPRECIATE BEING HELD HOSTAGE TO THE REPUBLICAN SPECIAL INTERESTS ...AND THE WALL STREET LOOTERS...
WALKER WILL LIKELY JOIN PALIN AS YET ANOTHER ODDBALL REPUBLICAN HALF TERM GOVERNOR.
IT WAS MORE FUN...WHEN IT WAS ONLY ABOUT OBAMA BASHING...!!
COULD SAVE US TAXPAYERS...BILLIONS EVERY YEAR...!!
SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY...
LIVE FOR FREE...! GET THE BANKS OFF YOUR BACK...
There is actually a glut of oil in the markets... This is a dollar problem not a scarcity problem... This is the "little secret" they never tell you about...
Even in the 70's Arabs got blamed for Nixon taking the dollar off the gold standard in 1971...markets always thrash around for a while...so the surge in oil was not instant after 1971...but it followed closely after Nixon abandon the Bretton Woods agreement that the dollar would be pegged to Gold...
I might add that during the 70's "oil shock" there was also a glut of oil being held off the market because of the Johnson/Nixon Dollar debacle...which caused the Bretton Woods Rules to collapse... Simply put the oil producers were unwilling to sell oil for the newly devalued Nixon Dollar.
When currencies are "tampered with" by central banks...bad things happen...
The 2008 Wall Street Catastrophe and the FEDs bizzare flooding of the markets with cash...is basically the same as the inflation crisis that occurred after the Johnson Welfare State and VietNam War spending hit the markets hard...
So forget Libya and the middle east...this is a dollar problem... Blame Bernanke for the surging oil prices not the Muslim protesters...
THE TOXIC LIES ON FOX NEWS JUST KEEP COMING...
BUT WHY DOES FOX ENJOY DRAGGING AMEIRCA DOWN...
WHY DO THE UNEDUCATED VIEWERS WHO ARE DEVOTED TO FOX ENJOY THIS KIND OF PROGRAMING...?
FOX SPECIALIZES IN STORIES ABOUT UNIONIZED TEACHERS RIPPING BIBLES AND AMERICAN FLAGS FROM STUDENTS HANDS...
FOX CONSTANTLY REPORTS ON AMERICAN SOLDIERS BEING SPIT ON AND DISSED BY THE "PROGRESSIVES"...
COUPLE THIS WITH THEIR PRO-GUN...HATE AGENDA...
AND RANTS ABOUT HOW THE STATES AND CITIES ARE IN COLLAPSE...AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE PUSHED INTO DESPERATE POVERTY...
BUT THE REAL KICKER IS THEIR ANTI-UNION...ANTI-WORKER BIAS...
YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY THE STUPIDS IN FLY OVER COUNTRY ARE SO DEVOTED TO THIS FOX BIG LIE MACHINE...
PERHAPS FOX SIMPLY REAFFIRMS THE HATE AND HOPELESSNESS THAT IS PERVASIVE IN THE INTERIOR OF AMERICA...AS THE DEPRESSION CONTINUES TO DEEPEN...
IF THE PUBLIC UNIONS ARE CRUSHED IN WISCONSIN...THERE WILL BE A PULL BACK IN CONSUMER DEMAND...AS UNIONIZED WORKERS...AND NON-UNION WORKERS IN THE US REALIZE THAT THEIR FINANCIAL FUTURES ARE IN DANGER...
THERE WILL BE A GENERALIZED PESSIMISM IN THE WORKING CLASS POPULATION...THAT WILL IMMEDIATELY IMPACT DEMAND...
REMEMBER...WHAT BRINGS JOY TO THE KOCH BROTHERS...AND WALL STREET...IS NOT NECESSARILY SEEN AS GOOD NEWS ON MAIN STREET...
THE DEMISE OF PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS WILL BE THE DEATH KNELL OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS...AND THAT WILL NOT HELP THE CORPORATE BOTTOM LINE...
WHAT WALL STREET NEEDS TO REALIZE IS ....JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN CRUSH AN "ENEMY" DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD...
THE DEMISE OF UNIONS IN AMERICAN WILL BE SEEN AS THE DEMISE OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS CONSUMER...
PERHAPS IT WAS INEVITABLE...
BUT IT WILL NOT HELP DEMAND IN THE ECONOMY...AND TODAY DEMAND IS EVERYTHING...
THE CURRENT INFLATION IS A DOLLAR STORY.
THE CURRENT DEPRESSION IS A DEMAND STORY...
AND THAT IS REALLY ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD ECONOMY TODAY...
DURING THE GREAT "RALLY ABOUT NOTHING"...WHEN THE BERNANKE PUT WAS RULING THE MARKETS IN EARLY 2011...OIL STAYED LOW...AND GOLD WAS DRIVEN DOWN...
NOW WITH THE END OF QE2 IS COMING...
THE MARKET IS REVERTING TO MACRO FACTORS...
THE DOLLAR HAS BEEN TRASHED BY BERNANKE...AND THE US ECONOMY IS ESSENTIALLY A ZOMBIE...TOTALLY ADDICTED TO ASSET BUBBLES...THERE IS REALLY NO PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY IN THE US TODAY...
AS THE FOX REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TO IMPOVERISH THE MIDDLE CLASS IN AMERICA...DEMAND WILL FALL...SO CORPORATIONS WILL HAVE A HARDER TIME MAKING OR FAKING THEIR NUMBERS...
CURIOUSLY OIL IS NOT SCARCE...THE WORLD IS AWASH IN OIL...THEY CAN'T EVEN FIND PLACES TO STORE IT...!
SO THE DRIVER BEHIND OIL PRICES ARE...
1. THE DOLLAR... 2. THE US DEPRESSION.. 3. THE FED REFLATION POLICY WHICH HAS IMPACTED ALL COMMODITIES... 4. THE SOCIAL UNREST CONSQUENCES OF HIGHER FOOD PRICES AROUND THE WORLD WHICH FED REFLATION HAS CAUSED...
OIL IS NOT SCARCE...RATHER OIL IS PLAYING CATCH UP TO OTHER COMMODITIES...
STAGFLATION SEEMS THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO AT HIS POINT...
WHEN WILL FOX RID US OF THIS CLOWN...!
AND ENEMY OF THE WORKER...
Without the Democratic Keynesian Response to the Wall Street Debacle of 2008 ... the economy would be in a deep deep depression right now...
But fear not...!
It is possible that the US economy is such a structural basket case....that its beyond Keynesian solutions now...
So we may yet get the Hellish scenario we deserve after letting Wall Street loot the economy for two decades...
This isn't over yet...the depression is still here...and its getting worse by the day...
So the Fox Republican Depression Dystopia may even yet be saved...!
So Buck up Fox viewers...you may get what you want even yet...
IGNORANCE OFTEN WINS THE FIRST BATTLE...
BUT IGNORANCE AND DELUSION ALWAYS LOSE THE WAR...
DELUSIONAL THINKING IS RUNNING WILD IN AMERICA.
Now we know why people were buying all those guns...!
Basically anyone who 'suddenly' needs a hand gun...probably has some sort of psychological problem...perhaps some kind of rage fantasy...or suicidal tendencies.
Currently some want to allow guns on college campuses...!
Where kids are often going through major psychological traumas as they enter the real world ... and move away from their families...and the support that they had at home.
Many serious psychosis only manifest themselves in young adults between 16 and 25...these are prime years for psychotic episodes in the young...
By allowing guns on college campuses and in schools...America seems to be spiraling into a terminal madness...
WHAT IS AT STAKE IN AMERICA TODAY...IS SIMPLY THIS...
WILL FOX NEWS RUN AMERICA...
WITHOUT THE FASCIST RANTS ON FOX...FOX REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE TO PUT THEIR DELUSIONS THROUGH THE FILTER OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA...
THIS WOULD STOP THE ULTRA-RIGHT IN ITS TRACKS...
FOX IS REALLY THE SOURCE OF ALL NEWS IN AMERICA TODAY...
FOX IS SPREADING THE RIGHT WING AGENDA OF INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL 24.7... THE FASCIST RANTS ON FOX NEVER STOP...
IF FOX SUCCEEDS AND AMERICA IS TRASHED BY INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL...THE FINAL COLLAPSE WILL NOT BE FAR BEHIND...
A FOX CONTROLLED AMERICA WILL BE A SAD AND DISMAL CESSPOOL OF FASCISM...
FOX HATE AND GREED WILL BE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS...AS AMERICA BECOMES A DARK AND IGNORANT PLACE.
ANY TIME THE MARKET "ALWAYS GOES UP" LIKE IN THE MARKET OF EARLY 2011...ITS TIME TO EXPECT A CORRECTION....
THE PROLEM WITH THESE MOMO MARKETS IS THAT PRICES ARE A MILE WIDE AND AN INCH DEEP...
IN OTHER WORDS...ITS ALL "BIGGER FOOL" BASED... IF THE NEXT SUCKER FAILS TO SHOW UP ...FOR EVEN ONE DAY...THINGS CAN GO DOWN HILL FAST...
BERNANKE'S "REFLATION TRADE"... (A/K/A THE "BERNANKE PUT")... IS BEHIND THE GLOBAL DEPRESSION...AND NOW GLOBAL UNREST...
WHAT THE FED MISSED IS THAT THE GLOBAL ECONOMY WORKS BOTH WAYS... AMERICA CAN NOT CONTINUE TO FAVOR ITS PAPER ASSET SECTOR ON WALL STREET...AND IGNORE THE EFFECTS OF FED "MONEY PRINTING" ON THE REAL ECONOMY...
BREAD AND WAGES ARE NOT AN ISSUE AROUND THE GLOBE...
AND ALL BERNANKE WANTED TO DO WAS "BRING BACK THE BUBBLES" ON WHICH THE AMERICAN ECONOMY HAS BEEN BASED FOR OVER 20 YEARS....
SADLY THE RESULTS ARE APPARENT ON THE FRONT PAGES OF EVERY PAPER ...AND IN EVERY NEWS PROGRAM...
THE BERNANKE PUT...HAS CAUSED GLOBAL UNREST...AND ITS ONLY STARTING TO BE FELT... THE WORST IS YET TO COME.
INCREASINGLY THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE MOVING AGAINST THE FOX NEWS FASCIST AGENDA... THERE ARE NOW PROTESTS IN FRONT OF THE FOX NEWS BRAODCAST FACILITIES...
FOX SPEWS HATE AND FEAR 24/7 INTO THE AMERICAN MEDIA ENVIRONMENT...
FOX'S ANTI-WORKER...ANTI-AMERICAN AGENDA...SUPPORTED BY INTERNATIONAL CAPTIAL...AND THE FASCIST RIGHT HAVE CAUSED HUGE DISTRESS...
FOX SETS ITSELF ABOVE ALL OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS IN THE US...CLAIMING TO BE THE ONLY SOURCE OF "TRUTH" ... FOX ROUTINELY ATTACKS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS LEFTIST, SOCIALIST OR COMMUNIST...
OBAMA WAS THE FIRST VICTIM OF THE FOX PROPAGANDA MACHINE...BUT NOW FOX IS MOVING TO OTHER TARGETS....INCLUDING THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA...THE UNIONS...AND EVENTUALLY THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA...
FOX SPEWS THINLY VAILED RACISM TO ITS "LESS EDUCATED" VIEWERS ...AND CAREFULLY INSERTS PURE LIES INTO ITS "NEWS" REPORTING...IN HOPE THAT THESE LIES WILL BECOME "GENERAL KNOWLEDGE" AMONG THOSE WHO ARE ITS WORST VICTIMS...THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...
AMERICANS WHO WANT TO RECLAIM AMERICA FROM INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL...NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST BOTH THE FOX REPUBLICANS AND THE FOX NEWS NETWORK...
THE FATE OF AMERICA IS AT STAKE...NOTHING LESS...
ITS POSSIBLE THAT WE NEED A "SUCKER FLUSH" IN THE MARKETS TO GET THE RETAIL SUCKERS OUT...
ALAS...THEY CAUGHT THE TOP AGAIN...
THE PROBLEM WITH THE OVERALL MARKET...IS THAT HYPER-LIQUIDITY IS MEETING A DEPRESSED AND STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED ECONOMY IN THE US...
WHICH WILL PREVAIL...?
WELL HYPER-LIQUIDITY WILL ONLY TAKE YOU SO FAR... EVENTUALLY GAS WILL SPIKE AND THE NEW STOCK BUBBLE WILL POP...
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE CORE OF THE US ECONOMY IS DAMAGED...HOUSING, THE CONSUMER...CREDIT FOR THE WORKING CLASS...ETC...
YES THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS ARE FLUSH WITH NEW CASH...
BUT WILL THEY EVEN BUILD FACTORIES IN ASIA...IF THERE IS NO DEMAND FROM THE US CONSUMER...
ITS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THE MARKET WILL ENTER ONE OF ITS RATIONAL PHASES...AND THE BIG BERNANKE PUT RALLY WILL MELT WITH THE MARCH SNOWS...
THIS IS NOT WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE WANT... IT MAY BE WHAT THE KOCH BROTHERS AND CEOS WANT...
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE OVERREACHED AGAIN...
A GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN WILL PUT THE CHERRY ON TOP...IN MARCH.
THE MARKETS GO NOWHERE...BUT THEY GO NOWHERE FAST...AND IT KEEPS THE RETAIL SUCKERS IN THE GAME...
WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE...THE MARKET ALWAYS FLEECES THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SUCKERS IN ANY GIVEN RALLY...
WHICH IS WHY THE OLD GUARD BLUE CHIPS LIKE CISCO, MICROSOFT, DELL AND OTHER AND "CORE HOLDINGS" IN THE RETAIL PORTFOLIO...NEVER GO UP...
THE MARKET NEVER PAYS THE ORDINARY SUCKER...
TO WIN ON WALL STREET YOU HAVE TO DAYTRADE THE TRENDS...AND GET OUT FAST...
TODAY THE SUCKERS GOT FLEECED...AND THEY DESERVED IT...
TOMORROW...WHATEVER IS LEAST LIKELY ... WILL HAPPEN...
AS FOR THE ECONOMY...ITS A ZOMBIE...SO THAT IS NOT EVEN AN ISSUE...
Clearly the public sector unions are out of step with America's "working poor" employees in the dismal private sector...
But the busting of the public sector unions is not a sign of "recovery" or even "hope"... But rather a sign that the decline of America continues ever downward at a faster pace...
MAKING WORKERS POOR WILL NOT HELP THE ECONOMY...
But we are at the end of the Pax Americana...and the declines will continue and accelerate... So don't be proud of this trashing of American Labor... it does not make your future any brighter...
Especially as the elites are raking in money...and off shoring their investments as fast as possible...
The public unions will be broken...but don't celebrate too hard...
And Republican governors who were elected to close down state governments...and gut the local public libraries, schools, parks, universities, and hospitals...and strip food and water safety from their citizens...even as the elite looting picks up speed...and Washington cancels PBS and NPR and Arts funding...SHOULD FEEL SHAME NOT PRIDE...
REPUBLICANS SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE TOO SOON...
After all Republican and Wall Street looting trashed America...and Americans have yet to thank them for that
REPUBLICANS HAVE PUT ALL THEIR POLITICAL EGGS IN THE ANTI-KEYNESIAN BASKET...
REPUBLICANS SAY THAT GOVERNMENT SPENDING DURING A DEPRESSION MAKES THINGS WORSE...NOT BETTER.
THIS FLIES IN THE FACE OF 70 YEARS OF ECONOMIC DOGMA KNOWN AS KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS...
TO GO AGAINST ALL CONVENTIONAL THEORY...IT WOULD BEHOOVE REPUBLICANS TO SPEAK IN VERIFIABLE ECONOMIC TERMS...AND NOT MERELY CHANT MANTRAS...
ARGUABLY THE DEPRESSION WAS CAUSED BY TOO LITTLE REGULATION OF THE RICH...
INDEED CONSTANTLY SUPPORTING THE SERIAL ASSET BUBBLES THAT THE RICH DEMANDED OF THE FED...
THE RICH HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER OFF THAN TODAY... YET REPUBLICANS WANT TO CUT SPENDING AND GIVE EVEN MORE TAX BREAKS TO THE RICH...
IF THE REPUBLICANS ARE WRONG...AND THE LAWS OF ECONOMIC THEORY HAVE NOT BEEN REPEALED...THEY COULD BE CHARGED WITH MAKING THINGS MUCH WORSE...
IF THE LAWS OF ECONOMICS HAVE BEEN ABOLISHED...REPUBLICANS OWN THE PUBLIC A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE WHY AND HOW...
JUST CHANTING MANTRAS IS A DANGEROUS POLICY...
WHAT IS KEEPING CLARANCE THOMAS FROM ENJOYING HIS POSITTION ON THE HIGH COURT...AND BEING A SPOKESMAN FOR ALL BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA...AND FOR ALL AMERICANS WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE ELITE....?
WHY IS THOMAS SO CONFLICTED WALLOWING IN HIS TOXIC "CONSERVATISM" ...AND HIS SLAVISH DEVOTION TO THE LOST CAUSES OF HATE AND GREED...?
MY ADVISE TO THOMAS.... BREAK LOOSE...? WHILE YOU STILL CAN... YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A SAD AND SICK PAGE IN THE COURT'S LONG HISTORY...
ITS NEVER TOO LATE IF YOU HAVE A LIFE TIME APPOINTMENT...!
News Flash : Fox News is Anti-Tea Party...!!
Well...remember the Republican Party is the party of the wealthy elites... and it always has been... OK...?
The Elite Republicans ...(mostly on Wall Street)..."tolerated" the Bubba Republicans in fly over country...and even provided them with harmless...and "cost free" "wedge isses" to keep the Bubbas lathered up...and voting for Wall Street and against their Main Street interests...
That lasted until the 2008 Crash and resulting Depression...
THEN CAME THE TEA PARTY... And the revolt of the Bubba Republicans...who where tired of the old wedge issues and wanted to talk about the economy...
Now...the Wall Street Republicans...who own Fox News... realize that the Tea Party could get out of control...and start demanding things that are not favorable to Wall Street...eventually.
Worse the wedge issue cranks are now thinking that THEY OWN THE PARTY...
This was not suppose to happen... And that is why Fox News is against the Tea Party... It was never intended that the "small people" would run the Republican Party...
And particularly not the small minds that bought into all those nonsense wedge issues over the years...
Krugman on the oligarchs :
"The fiscal crisis in Wisconsin, as in other states, was largely caused by the increasing power of America’s oligarchy. After all, it was superwealthy players, not the general public, who pushed for financial deregulation and thereby set the stage for the economic crisis of 2008-9, a crisis whose aftermath is the main reason for the current budget crunch. And now the political right is trying to exploit that very crisis, using it to remove one of the few remaining checks on oligarchic influence."
OK...THE FOX REPUBLICANS ARE HELL BENT TO GUT WASHINGTON...
BUT WHAT IS BEING CUT...
OK... NPR, PBS AND THE ARTS...THAT'S A GIVEN..BUT AMERICANS DON'T DESERVE THOSE PROGRAMS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS DECENT AND INTELLIGENT...
BUT WHAT ELSE...?
FOOD SAFETY...? WATER POLLUTION... ? BORDER SECURITY...? DISEASE CURES AND RESEARCH...? HEALTH CARE FOR THE POOR...? FOOD STAMPS...? UNEMPLOYMENT...?
IF AMERICANS ARE SO POOR...BECAUSE THEIR ELITES ARE SO RICH... LETS HAVE SOME DETAILS...ON WHAT WE HAVE TO GIVE UP TO KEEP THE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH...!
OK...NASA..TO THE MOON AND BEYOND...CUT IT...
THE WAR BUDGET...CUT IT... FARM SUBSIDIES FOR RED STATE RED NECKS...CUT IT...
LETS HEAR THE DETAILS ON WHAT FOX IS GUTTING...!
THE LAST THING AMERICA NEEDS IS FOR THE ARAB STREET TO SUDDENLY SAY...
....OH YEAH...AND THAT TOO...!
REGARDING THE PALESTINIAN SITUATION...
BUT MASSIVE CUTS IN GOVERNMENT SERVICES ARE NOT CHEAP...
BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A PRICE PAID ON MAIN STREET.
THESE CUTS WILL NOT BE POPULAR WITH VOTERS IN 2012...WHEN THE ECONOMY WILL LIKELY STILL BE IN DEPRESSION...
SO LET'S SEE THE CUTS...FOR REAL
AND HOW THE PUBLIC REACTS TO REAL CUTS NOT JUST TALK OF CUTS....
BEFORE WE DO A 2012 VICTORY DANCE...
YA THINK...?
It was interesting to see how Democrats were "deked" on the 2d Iraq War...
They opposed Poppy Bush in the Kuwait War against Saddam...and it was a Cakewalk with 500,000 troops that kicked Saddam out of postage stamp sized Kuwait without even a fight... Democrats looked like nervous Nellies and Fools...!
Now Fast Forward to Sonny Bush... The Democrats were afraid of "looking bad" again...and piled on to the second Iraq War... thinking it too would be a Cakewalk...and they didn't want to look like fools twice...
What they didn't realize was that occupation is harder to do... As Saddam found out in Kuwait...the occupier is always at a huge disadvantage...
So Democrats jumped on the band wagon for the new war...and of course 911 was still fresh in everyones mind...and "being soft" was not fashionable...
In short...in both cases Democrats zigged when they should have zagged...
Fox is going to have a hard time finding a candidate to beat Obama...
Obama got stuck with a Zombie Economy...that can't be fixed and was 20 years in the making... but at least he is not a true believer in Republican dogma that caused the collapse of America...and the current depression...
Virtually every Republican is a feather weight with no new ideas...
More tax cuts for the Rich are not going to do it for Republicans in 2012...
And now a bunch of new Republican governors are charged with gutting state and local governments...
And closing libraries, schools, parks, hospitals, laying of police, fire and teachers...cutting welfare and other programs for the new poor and long term unemployed...eliminating health care for many people... allowing roads and bridges to deteriorate and water to become polluted as they desperately cut taxes for the rich...
As a Democrat...who could ask for anything more...!
ALL THANKS TO THE NEOCONS...AND "BUSH DEMOCRACY" IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
THE APPLE CART HAS BEEN UPSET... BUT THE NOTION THAT DEMOCRACY WILL BE PRO-AMERICAN ...AFTER THE PEOPLE FOUGHT LIKE HELL TO GET RID OF THEIR AMERICAN BACK DICTATORS...SEEMS A BIT UNLIKELY...
EGYPT WAS CONTROLLABLE... BUT WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IS NOT...
THE HOUSE OF SAUD COULD BE IN PLAY SOON...
BUT...HMMMM....?
MAYBE THAT WAS THE GAME PLAN ALL ALONG...! THINK ABOUT IT...
WHO WERE THE REAL FINANCIERS OF 911...WHO ARE THE REAL SUPPORTERS OF RADICAL ISLAM...
YES...THERE IS A METHOD TO THIS MADNESS...
I SUSPECT THERE IS A PLAN.
THIS IS ALL STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A REPLAY OF THE 1970'S IN CAMBODIA....
A WAR WITH NO GOAL, NO END GAME... JUST KEEP BOMBING...AND HOPE SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS...
OBAMA SHOULD GIVE BACK HIS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE... HE REALLY DOES NOT DESERVE IT...
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE DEFICITS...AS YOU WOULD BELIEVE FROM WATCHING THE CABLE NEWS SHOWS...
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE US ECONOMY WAS A BUBBLE DRIVEN ECONOMY...THAT HAS SUDDENLY MORPHED INTO A ZOMBIE ECONOMY...
THE US ECONOMY IS A MASSIVE FRAUD ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...
MOST OF THE PRODUCTIVE ECONOMY HAS BEEN MOVED OFF SHORE TO CHINA AND OTHER LOW WAGE NATIONS...
TO OFF SET THIS MANY SERIAL ASSET BUBBLES WERE "INVENTED" BY WALL STREET ...WITH THE HELP OF THE FED...TO "MASK" THE HOLLOWNESS OF THE REAL AMERICAN ECONOMY...FROM THE PEOPLE....
THEN ~ IN 2008 ~ THE BUBBLES ALL BURST AT ONCE...AND THE REAL ZOMBIE WAS REVEALED...AND IT WAS VERY VERY UGLY.
THE ZOMBIE WAS "TAMED" TEMPORARILY BY "EMERGENCY" ZERO RATES AND QE 1 AND QU2 BY THE FED...WHICH HAVE NOW BECOME "THE NORM"...
THE HOPE WAS TO GET.... AT LEAST...PAPER ASSET PRICES HIGH AGAIN...A "NEW BUBBLE" REALLY...SO PENSIONS FUNDS AND 401KS WOULD NOT BE REVEALED TO BE UNFUNDED FRAUDS...
AND TO SOME EXTENT THIS "NEW BUBBLE" WAS ACHEIVED...SEE THE DOW TODAY...
THE MASSIVE KEYNESIAN STIMULUS THAT OCCURRED AFTER THE CRASH OF 2008...WAS DONE TO PRESERVE SPENDING POWER DURING THE POST BUBBLE DEPRESSION...
NOW...THE REPUBLICANS ARE CRITICIZING THAT KEYNESIAN SPENDING...
HERE'S THE PROBLEM...THE US ECONOMY NEVER REALLY RECOVERED...ITS STILL IN A POST BUBBLE DEPRESSION...
TRUE... THE FED TIT WAS STUFFED INTO WALL STREET'S MOUTH TO "REFLATE" THE PRICE OF STOCKS...AND THAT HAS HAPPEN...
BUT THE UNDERLYING REAL ECONOMY IS STILL VERY WEAK...AND IS NOT RESPONDING AS EXPECTED TO NORMAL KEYNESIAN NOTIONS OF LOW RATES AND GOVERNMENT SPENDING...
BUT KEYNES ASSUMED THAT YOU'D HAVE A "REAL ECONOMY"...NOT A POST BUBBLE ZOMBIE THAT HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF ALL PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY...
ENTITLEMENTS WERE INCREASED TO GREASE THE SKIDS FOR WALL STREETS LOOTING...AND DURING THE BUBBLE YEARS IT WORKED...
NOW ITS ALL COME CRASHING DOWN...
FRANKLY...THE US ECONOMY IS NOT SLAVAGEABLE...ITS BEYOND REPAIR...
WHO TAKES THE BLAME FOR THIS DISMAL SITUATION IS REALLY WHATS AT STAKE NOW...
A GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN IN MARCH MIGHT BE WHAT IS NEEDED TO PUT THE US ECONOMY OUT OF ITS MISERY... AND FOCUS THE MINDS OF AMERICANS ON HOW DISMAL THEIR CONDITION REALLY IS...
THE ONLY OPTIONS OPEN TO STUPID AMERICAN NOW...ARE HORRIBLE AND CATASTROPHIC...
NOT PROMISING....
GET OUT NOW...SOMETHING VERY BAD IS COMING ...AND SOON.
ITS WHEN...NOT IF...THE GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN...
SO GET READY FOR THE MOTHER OF ALL MARKET CRASHES...
THESE ARE THE FINAL DAZE OF THE LALA RALLY ON WALL STREET.
THE BERNANKE PUT WILL BE WORTHLESS IN A FEW WEEKS....
BASICALLY, THE FOX NAZIS IN CONGRESS ARE AGAINST ANYTHING GOOD, DECENT AND INTELLIGENT IN AMERICA...
SADLY THEY HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORTERS AMONG THE MASSES OF IGNORANT AMERICANS...
MY VIEW...? AMERICANS DO NOT DESERVE ANYTHING GOOD, DECENT AND INTELLIGENT...
SO SHUT 'EM DOWN... JUST DO IT...
ITS MOVE ON TO WHATEVER COMES NEXT FROM THE FOX NAZIS... BECAUSE THIS IS THE END GAME FOR AMERICA ANYWAY...
WHY FIGHT TO SAVE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SALVAGEABLE...?
THE NOTION THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN IN WASHINGTON IN EARLY MARCH...IS NAIVE...
THERE IS ALMOST A 100% CERTAINTY OF A SHUT DOWN GIVEN THE CURRENT TOXIC POLITICAL CLIMATE...
I AM NOT SURE THAT THIS IS FULLY REALIZED BY MANY PEOPLE...
AND ONCE THIS SHUT DOWN HAPPENS...IT WILL BE HARD TO STOP IT...
THINK 1914 WITH THE HABSBERGS AND THE ROMANOVS....SOMETIMES EVENTS TAKE OVER...AND RATIONAL THINKING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION...
MY HUNCH IS THAT THERE IS A MASSIVE CATASTROPHE COMING TO THE US SOON...BECAUSE THE TEABAGGERS ARE NOT GOING TO BACK OFF...
BETWEEN THE MARCH SHUTDOWN...AND THE DEBT LIMIT CEILING UP COMING...
THE US ECONOMY SHOULD BE ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST... AMERICANS WILL NOT KNOW WHAT HIT THEM IF THIS THING STARTS DOWN HILL FAST...
AS A PROGRESSIVE I SUPPORT CLOSING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IN WASHINGTON...
ITS TIME TO LET IT RIP...
THE ELITES HAVE USED FOX AND THE RADICAL RIGHT TO DUPE AMERICANS INTO THINKING THAT THEY "ARE POOR"...DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE RICH ARE RICHER THAN EVER...
EVEN WHILE THE FED IS FINANCING MASSIVE WALL STREET OFF SHORING OF AMERICAN PRODUCTION CAPACITY...
SO LET THE GOVERNMENT CLOSE DOWN...NOW!
STOP SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS TO SENIORS...MOST OF WHOM WHERE DUPED INTO THINKING THAT FOX NEWS WAS THEIR "FRIEND"...
FOX NEWS IS NOT THE FRIEND OF WORKING AMERICANS...
AND NOW ITS TIME TO PROVE IT...
SHUT WASHINGTON DOWN...
CLOSE THE AIRPORTS...STOP PAYING SOCIAL SECURITY...CUT TAXES FOR THE RICH TO ZERO...LET IT ALL HIT THE WALL...
IF NOT NOW...WHEN...!!
THE RAGE AGAINST THE ELITES IS GOING GLOBAL...!
ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT WASHINGTON IS NOT GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN BY THE TEABAGGERS IS IN LALA LAND...
A GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN IS ALL BUT ASSURED NOW...
THE TEABAGGERS HAVE GONE TOO FAR...TO BACK DOWN NOW... THEIR ENTIRE MOVEMENT DEPENDS ON A CONFRONTATION WITH WASHINGTON AND OBAMA ABOUT THE BUDGET...
ITS THEIR VERY REASON FOR BEING...
AND YOU DON'T NEGOTIATE YOUR REASON FOR BEING...ON THE FIRST CHALLENGE...
WATCH FOR THINGS TO GET REAL FREAKY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS...
OF COURSE...WALL STREET IS HAPPILY SUCKING AT THE FED'S TIT...SO THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM...
BUT THE REAL ECONOMY AND THE POLITICAL SITUATION COULD DETERIORATE BADLY...IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS...
THERE COULD BE SOME TEABAGGER ASS KICKED IN MADISON TOMORROW...
IF THESE TEABAGGERS SHOW UP AS PLANNED...TO PROVOKE THE UNIONS...
GET READY TO RUMBLE...! THIS IS 1930'S REDUX...! I SAY LET IT RIP...
ITS ABOUT TIME ...
AMERICA IS ON THE VERGE OF TOTAL COLLAPSE...
TO THE REPUBLICANS THE GOAL IS TO DRAG PUBLIC WORKERS DOWN TO THE LEVEL OF PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS.... IN AMERICA'S DISMAL LOOTED DEPRESSION ECONOMY...
BUT WHAT ABOUT BRINGING PRIVATE WORKERS UP TO THE LIVING WAGE, LIVING PENSION AND HEALTH CARE LEVEL THAT PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS HAVE...?
WHY NOT BUILD UP WORKERS...NOT DRAG THEM DOWN...?
WHY NOT HAVE SOME LEVEL OF PARITY BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS...?
AND AT A LEVEL THAT PRESERVES THE MIDDLE CLASS LIFE STYLE...FOR BOTH...
THE NOTION THAT ONLY THE POLITICALLY CONNECTED AND WELL OFF... DESERVE A DECENT LIFESTYLE IS NONSENSE...
DON'T DRAG DOWN THE PUBLIC SECTOR...BUILD UP THE PRIVATE SECTOR...
THE WORKING CLASS IN AMERICA...AND AROUND THE WORLD ARE GOING TO TAKE A STAND...
THE TRIUMPH OF THE ELITES IS OVER...
LET THIS BE OUR SUMMER OF RAGE...!
AND LET IT START IN WISCONSIN...!
GOVERNMENT COLLAPSE IN THE FACE OF UNREST...LOOMS?
EVEN THE KIDS ARE SMARTER IN CANADA...!
THE WHEELS ARE COMING OFF BIG TIME NOW...
THIS IS NOT A MARKET THAT WILL MAKE IT TO APRIL FOOLS DAY.
WITH THE LEVEL OF STIMULUS IN THE ECONOMY NOW...THERE IS ALMOST NOTHING THAT SHOWS REAL ORGANIC GROWH...
ITS ALL STRICTLY LIQUIDITY ...AND HIGH FREQUENCY TRADING THAT IS PUSHING PRICES UP...
THIS IS REALLY THE CALM BEFORE THE DOOMSDAY PLUNGE...
THIS YEAR WILL BE CATASTROPHIC FOR WALL STREET...AND MAIN STREET.
IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR SOME PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZATION TO SET A "DAY OF RAGE" FOR AMERICANS ...
AND TO ORGANIZE A MARCH ON WASHINGTON TO SAY NO TO MORE ELITE LOOTING...
I WOULD EXPECT SOMEONE TO START SETTING THIS UP SOON...
PERHAPS MSNBC COULD TAKE THE LEAD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS...IN THE WAY FOX HAS TAKEN THE LEAD FOR ORGANIZING RED STATE RACISTS AND THE RURAL IGNORANT IN AMERICA...
MY HUNCH IS THAT AMERICANS ARE READY TO GO ...AND ITS TIME TO HIT THE BRICKS...
THIS A 1968 MOMENT...EVERYTHING IS SET TO GO... A FEATHER COULD KNOCK IT OVER ...
THE START THE AMERICAN BRANCH OF THE GLOBAL MOVEMENT TOWARD SOCIAL JUSTICE.....IS READY.
ITS BECOMING MORE CLEAR BY THE DAY...
WASHINGTON WILL BE SHUT DOWN BY POLITICALLY SUICIDAL TEABAGGERS LATER THIS SPRING...
THESE TEABAGGERS ARE IDEOLOGUES OF THE WORST KIND... THEY KNOW THEY ARE RIGHT...AND THEY WILL NOT BE SWAYED TO COMPROMISE ON ANYTHING...
THERE IS NO WAY WASHINGTON AVOIDS A BOND DEFAULT...
RAISE CASH NOW...BE WARNED...THIS WILL NOT END WELL...
THE SHIT IS GOING TO HIT THE FAN...AND VERY VERY SOON...
THIS IS THE END GAME...THIS IS THE DOOMSDAY EVENT.
THE CURE FOR ELITE LOOTING IS NOT MORE IMPOVERISHMENT OF THE WORKERS...
THAT WILL BE THE LESSON OF WISCONSIN...
THE ELITES WILL ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE AND EXTEND THEIR GAINS...
BUT THE STREETS WILL ERUPT BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN NOT BE PRESSED DOWN ANY FURTHER...
THIS NOTION OF CUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE...AND FOOD STAMPS AND SCHOOL AID...SO THE RICH CAN GET AND KEEP MORE TAX CUTS...
AND CONTINUE THE FED FINANCING FOR THEIR OVERSEAS PLANTS...IS SIMPLY NUTS...
ALL ECONOMIES ARE LOCAL...
THERE IS NOTHING MORE LOCAL THAN THE STREET...
AND THAT IS WHERE THE PEOPLE WILL BE THIS SUMMER...
THIS ALL HAS A 1848 FEEL TO IT...
A SUMMER OF RAGE WILL BE THE HISTORIC LEGACY OF 2011!
WHAT THE TELEGRAPH DID FOR THE 1848 REVOLTS...
THE INTERNET WILL DO FOR 2011 REBELLIONS...
TWITTER ON...!!
IT WAS INEVITABLE REALLY...
THE GLOBAL DEPRESSION THAT STARTED IN THE US WITH THE COLLAPSE OF THE FEDS SERIAL ASSET BUBBLES....HAS SPREAD TO THE STREETS.
SOME NATIONS ARE FARING BETTER THAN OTHERS...THE POORER NATIONS ARE ALL IN REBELLION NOW...ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST CHAOS RULES...
THE FED'S FREE MONEY FOR THE RICH POLICY HAS MORPHED INTO MASSIVE FOOD AND ENERGY INFLATION...
SOME AMERICANS ARE COPING... BUT IF YOU ARE A TAXI DRIVER IN CAIRO...YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ANYMORE...
THIS WILL BE OUR SUMMER OF RAGE...
THE WORKERS ARE GOING TO HIT THE BRICKS...IT WAS INEVITABLE...
LOOK FOR MORE RAGE IN AMERICA AS THE WORKING CLASS IS PRESSURED BY HIGH GAS PRICES...AND THE LACK OF JOBS AND HEALTH CARE COVERAGE...
THE DAYS OF RAGE ARE COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU... THIS IS THE SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT.
I AM BIT CONCERNED ABOUT TOM FRIEDMAN SUPPORTING THE PROTESTS IN EGYPT...AND THE MIDDLE EAST.
NOT THAT FREIDMAN REALLY THINKS THINGS THROUGH THAT WELL...
BUT WE ALL KNOW WHERE HE GETS HIS MARCHING ORDERS...
AND ITS NOT FROM WASHINGTON...
I SENSE ANOTHER AGENDA ...SOMETHING UNDER THE TABLE...AS YET UNSEEN.
Fox specializes in stories about unionized teachers ripping Bibles and American Flags away from kids...
Every Red Neck parent and their idiot snot nosed kid gets a seat on the Fox Crying Couch...no matter how flaky they are...ITS NATIONAL NEWS!
UNIONIZED TEACHERS ARE EVIL...!
Its really the new filler "fluff news" on Fox...
Since no Fox Republican really wants to talk about gutting the budget anymore...
I question whether discrediting the schools is a way to get working class Bubbas to get their kids to study harder.
...which is really where learning takes place... at the student level... Not at the school board meeting... Learning is not about the flag or the Bible.
Its as if...for Fox Morons...
Now its "OK to be stupid" ... Because unionized teachers are pure evil...
Honest...just watch Fox tomorrow...its always there!
STUPID IS GOOD...UNIONS ARE BAD...
ITS COMING...
ITS COMING...
AMERICA'S DAY OF RAGE IS NEAR...
PROBABLY THIS SUMMER...OUR SUMMER OF RAGE LOOMS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE BERNANKE PUT...STOCKS ALWAYS GO UP...
THE REALLY HORRIFIC NEWS IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE BERNANKE PUT...STOCKS ALWAYS GO UP...
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES...
I DON'T KNOW THE WEEK OR THE MONTH...
BUT WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE...AND THIS DOES NOT END WELL...
CASH IS KING...AND GOLD IS QUEEN...
DAYTRADE THE BULLSHIT IF YOU WANT...BUT BEWARE...THIS IS NOT A STABLE SITUATION...
AND THE DOWN SIDE IS AN EXISTENTIAL CATASTROPHE...
THESE ARE THE END TIMES OF THE END GAME...
THIS IS A PONZI SCHEME THAT WILL MAKE MADOFF LOOK LIKE A DISHONEST TREASURER AT A CHURCH BOWLING LEAGUE...WHO ABSCONDED WITH THE PETTY CASH!
CLICK HERE
OR HERE
IT APPEARS THAT THE STOCKS ARE NOW RISING FASTER THAN THE UNDERLYING ASSET...WHICH OF COURSE IS WHAT IS CLOSELY WATCHED BY THE MEDIA...
SO THERE IS A STEALTH RALLY IN GOLD AND SILVER STOCKS ....THAT IS NOT SHOWING UP IN THE PHYSICAL METAL...YET
VERY SNEAKY...!
On line book sales killed Borders... It will be interesting to see if B&N can survive...as the only major big box book store left standing with the old "pre Internet" business model...
Borders may survive as a Bricks and Clicks entity...that has not been tried on a large scale yet...
My hunch is that with Borders gone...even more book sales go on line...
Eventually the physical "book browsing" experience may only be available at used and independent bookstores still standing...
Instead of bookstores becoming coffee shops...maybe coffee shops will become bookstores...
If not...there will always be the thrift shops.
HAVE YOU HEARD...!
OBAMA HAS ADDED A ZILLION MILLION DOLLARS TO THE BUDGET DEFICIT IN ONLY ONE MONTH...!!
HONEST...IT WAS ON FOX JUST NOW...!
OBAMA HAS QUINTUPLED THE BUDGET DEFICIT SINCE BUSH...
OBAMA WANTS TO RAISE YOUR TAX RATE TO 95% IN TEN YEARS....
YADA YADA YADA ....THE FOX BULLSHIT MACHINE KEEPS SPEWING...
BUT CONSIDER:
THE TYPICAL FOX VIEWER DOES NOT PAY INCOME TAXES...THEY DON'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY...AND THEY ARE MOSTLY UNEDUCATED.
SO TRILLIONS AND BILLIONS MEAN NOTHING TO THEM...MAKE IT A ZILLION...WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE...? ITS ALL AN ABSTRACTION... SO NO ONE CARES...
AS LONG AS THERE'S LOTS OF SCREAMING...
AND GRETCHEN "GOES SLACK JAWED" EVERY TWO MINUTES... NO ONE IN THE FOX AUDIENCE CARES...
AND WHY SHOULD THEY...? OBAMA IS AN ALIEN MUSLIM COMMUNIST WHO WANTS TO DESTROY AMERICA...
SO WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE .... AS LONG AS THE FEDERAL SSI DISABILITY CHECKS HIT BUBBA CHECKING ACCOUNTS IN FLY OVER COUNTRY...
FOX IS RANTING IN CIRCLES NOW...
THEY ARE EVEN RESORTING TO "FILLER AND FLUFF" NEWS LIKE IN THE OLDEN DAZE BEFORE HATE BECAME ACCEPTABLE ON CABLE NEWS...
WORSE...SINCE FOX MANAGED TO GET THE REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES... THE TEABAGGERS ARE NOW BEING FORCED TO SAY WHAT THEY WILL CUT...
EVIL "ENTITLEMENTS" ARE ALWAYS ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK ...BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE...!
FOX EVEN SEEMS TO BE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING A REPUBLICAN TO RANT THESE DAZE...EXCEPT RANT PAUL...
REPUBLICANS ARE LAYING LOW...NO ONE WANTS TO BE THE ONE TO CUT SOME PROGRAM THAT THE TEABAGGING BUBBAS IN FLY OVER COUNTRY WANT...
SUDDENLY... THat FREE TV TIME ON FOX IS NOT SO ATTRACTIVE.
THE TEABAG IS DRYING UP...
AND FOX IS GETTING BORING...
RANTING IS EASIER THAN GOVERNING...
FOR THE FIRST TIME I AM HAVING SERIOUS DOUBTS THAT AMERICA WILL SURVIVE THIS CENTURY...
THE LEVEL OF STUPIDITY IS SO EXTREME...AND THE DIVISION BETWEEN THE RICH AND POOR...THE INTELLIGENT AND THE STUPID IS JUST TOO GREAT...
AMERICA IS FOUNDED ON GREED .... AND NOW HATE AND FEAR HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE TOXIC MIX...
I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS A NATION THAT WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT...
MADOFF IS RIGHT... SOMEONE HAD TO KNOW THAT HE WAS A FRAUD...
I MEAN THEY CAN TRACE A BAD CHECK...OR AN IMPROPER TAX DEDUCTION TO ITS SOURCE... AND THEY COULDN'T TELL THAT THIS GUY WAS DOING A 50 BILLION DOLLAR PONZI SCHEME...!
AND WORSE...WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT NO ONE KNEW...!
MY HUNCH IS THAT BERNIE TOOK THE FALL...ON CONDITIONS... ON CONDITIONS THAT HE WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE TO GO DOWN... AND HIS FAMILY WOULD NOT BE DRAGGED DOWN WITH HIM...
THAT MAY NOT BE HAPPENING TO MR MADOFF'S SATISFACTION NOW...
AND IF BERNIE STARTS TO SQUEAL...A LOT OF BIG FAT CATS ARE GOING TO GO DOWN...
THE BERNIE SCAM IS LIKE BUSH'S WMD CLAIMS AGAINST SADDAM...
IT WAS JUST BULLSHIT FROM THE START AND ANY THINKING PERSON GO SEE IT WITHOUT EVEN TRYING...
LETS HOPE BERNIE STARTS SINGING...HE COULD REDEEM HIMSELF IF HIS CO CONSPIRATORS ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE...
IN FACT...A REDUCED SENTENCE MIGHT BE IN ORDER...IF THE REST OF THE CROOKS ARE ROUNDED UP...!
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR...AND BERNANKE'S FED PAID FOR THIS NEW BUBBLE...
THE FED HAS VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED THE VALUE OF STOCKS WILL NOT FALL...
WHAT IS NOT TO BE BULLISH ABOUT...! LET THE MELT UP BEGIN... THE SAD THING IS THAT THE FED HAS BECOME THE SLAVE OF THE MARKETS...NOT THEIR MASTER...AS IN DAZE PAST...
THIS FED WILL NOT SURVIVE THE NEXT CRASH...AND THAT IS COMING ON FAST...
AFTER THE NEXT CRASH...IT WILL BE TIME TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND REDEFINE "MONEY"...AND ALL THE REST OF IT...
RIGHT BACK TO SQUARE ONE... LIKELY WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS...
NOTHING IS WORKING EXCEPT THE BERNANKE PRINTING PRESSES...
NEW HIGHS FOR GOLD SEEM LIKE A NO-BRAINER...
WE ARE AT A "GREAT INFLECTION"....AND THAT OFTEN CAUSES A DEEP DEPRESSION...
GOLD IS REALLY THE ONLY SAFE HAVEN... FOR THE LONG TERM INVESTOR.
YOUNG MUSLIMS WANT TO HAVE A MODERN LIFESTYLE...BUT STILL BE MUSLIM...
THIS WILL NOT BE THE ISLAM OF THE PAST BUT THE ISLAM OF THE FUTURE...
AND NOT A MINUTE TOO SOON... ISLAM...LIKE ALL RELIGIONS...NEEDS TO "MODERNIZE" EVERY FEW HUNDRED YEARS...
THIS NOTION OF GUTTING WHATS LEFT OF THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET IN AMERICA...IN THE MIDST OF A GREAT DEPRESSION IS NUTS.
IF WASHINGTON WANTS A "MARCH ON WASHINGTON" BY THE NEW POOR...KEEP IT UP...
WHAT AMERICANS NEED IS ANOTHER "BONUS ARMY" MARCH ON WASHINGTON...
ONLY THIS TIME THE PROTESTORS WILL BE MARCHING AGAINST THE "BONUSES" ON WALL STREET...!
A LOT OF FALSE "MEDIA WISDOM" ABOUT THE MIDDLE EASTERN REBELLIONS IS THAT THEY ARE ABOUT POLITICS...AND THE DESIRE FOR "FREEDOM"...
I TEND TO DISCOUNT THIS...
ECONOMICS IS THE REAL REASON FOR THE REVOLT IN EGYPT, TUNISIA AND ELSEWHERE...TO COME.
IT IS NO SECRET THAT THE WORLD IS IN A DEEP ECONOMIC DEPRESSION.... THE OLD ORDER IS CRUMBLING... THE PAX AMERICANA HAS COLLAPSED...
MUCH OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WILL BE A QUEST FOR JOBS, WAGES AND BETTER LIVINGS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD...
THE REVOLT OF THE ELITES...THAT STARTED IN THE EARLY 1980'S... COULD BECOME THE TWILIGHT OF THE ELITES...
THERE ARE GRAVE IMBALANCES IN THE WORLD ECONOMY NOW...STARTING AT THE TOP...IN THE US...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT IN EUROLAND...
THE ELITES ARE BEING ATTACKED ON ALL SIDES NOW... RUSSIA, ASIA, THE MIDDLE EAST COULD BE IN PLAY...
THE LAST STRAW WILL BE A MARCH ON WASHINGTON BY THE NEW AMERICAN POOR...
THESE ARE THE CHRONICALLY UNEMPLOYED AND UNINSURED...
THE TEA PARTY WAS A CONSTRUCT OF THE MONEY ELITES TO DISTRACT LESS INFORMED AMERICANS... FROM THE LOOTING OF THE LAST 20 YEARS...ON WALL STREET
PERHAPS THIS WILL WORK FOR A WHILE... BUT LIES AND BIG LIES HAVE A SHELF LIFE...
THE POT IS STARTING TO BOIL...AND NOTHING...NOTHING IS OR CAN BE DONE TO STOP IT...
THE ELITES WILL LOOT UNTIL THEY ARE STOPPED...AND THE FIRST STEPS COULD BE SHOWING UP IN THE MIDDLE EAST...
AS LONG AS THE ECONOMY CAN RUN ON AUTO PILOT...WITHOUT HELP FROM WASHINGTON... MCCONNEL WILL BE AT BEST USELESS...
IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS...MCCONNEL WILL BE WORST THAN USELESS...
THE NOTION THAT EGYPT IS THE NEXT IRAN...IS JUST NUTS...
THERE ARE MASSIVE DIFFERENCES...BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS...
FIRST...IRAN'S REVOLUTION WAS IN THE 1970'S...AND A LOT HAS HAPPEN SINCE THEN...
IRAN DID NOT HAVE THE TOURIST INDUSTRY THAT EGYPT HAS HAD FOR CENTURIES...
IRANIANS ARE PERSIANS...EGYPTIANS ARE ARABS...
EGYPT IS MORE IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE WORLD...THE ROMANS AND GREEKS RULED EGYPT FOR CENTURIES...
IRAN IS IN THE REMOTE EAST...REALLY MORE TIED TO AFGHANISTAN HISTORICALLY...
EGYPT IS NOT IRAN... BUT THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT EGYPT WILL BE ANOTHER TURKEY...
GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF TOURISM...AND THE PRIDE THAT EGYPTIANS HAVE IN THEIR ANCIENT TREASURES...I JUST DON'T SEE THEM ISOLATING THEMSELVES BEHIND A BARRIER OF SHARIA LAW...OR RADICAL ISLAM...THAT IS JUST NOT WHO MOST EGYPTIANS REALLY ARE...
THEY CAN PROVIDE A MODEL OF MODERN ISLAM THAT OTHERS CAN FOLLOW...
SIMPLY REPLACING ONE RELIGIOUS GROUP WITH ANOTHER IS NOT GOING TO WORK...AS SONNY BOY BUSH FOUND OUT.
EGYPTIANS ARE MORE UNIFIED EITHNICALLY AND RELIGIOUSLY...AND HAVE HAD LONGER TERM CONTACTS WITH FOREIGNERS VIA THE TOURIST INDUSTRY...
ALL OF WHICH IRAQ LACKED...
THE ELDER BUSH REALIZED THAT ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE IF SADDAM WERE REMOVED... BUT IT TOOK THE STUPIDITY OF SONNY BOY BUSH TO PROVE IT.
RECENT POLLS OF EGYPTIANS HAVE SOME SHOCKING RESULTS...!
EGYPTIANS ARE JUST AS STUPID AS AMERICANS..!!
NOW...THAT IS SCARY...!
DUMBOCRACY IN ACTION CAN BE A PROBLEM...
BYE BYE AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM...!
BUT SO DO AMERICANS...AND AMERICANS HAVE HAD DEMOCRACY ALL ALONG...
GET IN LINE MUHAMUD...!
My hunch is that only US backed dictators will fall...not the anti-American anti-Israel dictators...as found in Syria, Iran, Pakistan etal...
Even NATO member, Turkey is drifting toward Islamist politics now.
If the Saudis fall...that will be the end game...
I see this as the end of Check Book Neo-Colonialism...and the Pax Americana.
Which amazingly coincides with the decline of the US in the global economy...and the rise of Asia...
I don't see the revolution in Egypt as being "pro-democracy"...I've seen the people on Tahrir Square...true in better times...
This is the beginning of the end of the Pax Americana "Check Book Diplomacy..."
Democracy is a hard row to hoe...even Americans are finding this out...(See todays news about Congress)
I don't think democracy can happen in the middle east...because nations need a long period of "training wheels" before they can "do" democracy right...
Look at the Ukraine..where democracy is a gang fight...
Sorry but I'm not optimistic...everyone is "seeing" what they want to see in Egypt today...
Even Iran is celebrating today along with CNN and Washington...! Someone has to be wrong.
Mubarak avoids Chauchesku's fate....
Old elite will try to keep power by dumping Mubarak...
Remember there are millions of people with a stake in the status quo.
THE BUSH DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT PUSHES ON...WILL IT BE ANOTHER IRAQ, GAZA, AFGHANISTAN OR EVEN TURKEY...?
Israel will have to deal with the Arab Street without the support of American backed dictators... This could result in more realism about a two state solution on the West Bank...
Which would take enormous pressure off the US to keep invading Muslim countries just because they want something done about the West Bank...
In the US mindset...any Muslim who wants the West Bank settled...and Palestinians to have their state...is considered a terrorist...or close to it.
Additionally Americans need to learn the role of the Mosque in Muslim society...the Mosque is a Social Welfare Agency...not just a "church" or place of worship as with many Christians... This is behind the so called insidious influence of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood...they are simply following normal Muslim charitable practices in their Mosques ....which are really soup kitchens, hospitals, schools, libraries and social service agencies to their members.
The notions of Jihad and the Muslim Califate...are part of Muslim tradition...but they are not practical or even sane... in modern politics...
Hopefully once the various western occupations and paid dicatorships end...the more modern Muslims will be able to control this radical fringe of Muslims Fundamentalists... But this will be a leap of faith...
The west has to learn to allow Muslim people to have their Islamic based states...and identiities...without fearing terrorism from the Jihadi among them...
Once the West Bank is settled...the long process of modernizing the Muslim world can began... But it will never be done by the old method of Western military force, dicatorships and occupation...
Egypt has a long way to go...their problems could be just beginning...
And Israel should be very afraid that the jig is finally up on the West Bank fun and games.
GOOGLE IS GETTING INTO THE BOOK BUSINESS...!
As a Progressive ... I'd like to see Republicans cut spending like mad...gut the teachers, fire and police, close the parks, libraries, schools, And triple college tuitions... Yeah Baby...!
As with Sherman's March to the Sea...if the Red State Tea Party wants budget cuts...?
Lets give them all the budget cuts they can handle and then some... Smaller Government...that's the ticket...! Quit fixing the roads...
Fire the Air Traffic Controllers... Hey, where are THEY mentioned in the Constitution...!
Lets Cut through the bone... That'll bring back jobs from China...
The last thing I want to see is for Boehner and the Tea Party to become a confused laughing stock...that does nothing... If people want Republicanism...lets give them all they can handle and then some...
I have discussed the fate of Chauchesku in Romania...with several Romanians...
And they say that Chauchesku was killed by his own henchmen...not by the Romanian people...
At the end of any long dictatorship...many people are involved and invested in the transition... And not just at the top levels...
Often those attached to the failed regime will sacrifice their leader...to take the attention of the people away from them...
That could be the fate of Mubarak... There are many millions of people in Egypt...who do not have the option to move to a villa in Saudi Arabia...as Mubarak might do eventually...
Right now the worse enemies of Mubarak could be his lower level associates...and not the people on Tahrir Square...
Borders should keep a few big stores open...and do the rest online... There is no need for Big Box new bookstores now...except as "showrooms" for books people go home and buy online.
Most new and used books will be bought online soon...
And no one goes to a used bookstore now...on the off chance that they will have a specific odd or out of print title...you go directly to the Internet for that...these days
The flip side is that there may now be room for Independents to reopen...as used/new booksellers...with coffee shops and galleries etc... The B&M bookstore has become an entertainment venue more than a retail venue...
CISCO HAS LOST IT'S "APPLE PREMIUM" AND IS JOINING MICROSOFT AND DELL IN THE PANTHEON OF STOCKS FOR OLD RETAIL SUCKERS...WHO OWN MOSTLY DEAD MONEY STOCKS.
IF YOU WANT STORY STOCKS FOLLOW THE BED HEADS ON WALL STREET...WHERE ITS ALL ABOUT TWITTER AND FACEBOOK...AND THE LATEST APPLE I-GADGET
THE DOW HAS ONE WAY TO GO AND THAT IS UP...UP AND UP....!
IT ALWAYS GOES UP...THIS IS 1999 REDUX...
BERNANKE AS HIS REFLATION TRADE...AND THE BERNANKE PUT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.... DOW 20,000 OR BUST...!
THIS IS A MARKET THAT SIMPLY CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO DOWN... RATES ARE ZERO...AND THE MONEY PUMP IS AT FULL BLAST...
SO WHAT IF THE MARKET GOES DOWN...?
WHAT NEXT...? THERE IS NO WHAT NEXT...!
THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECALL THE US DOLLAR...AND REISSUE A NEW 'POST FED' CURRENCY TO REFLECT THE REAL VALUE OF THE US ECONOMY... WHICH CURRENTLY HAS A "ZOMBIE PREMIUM" BUILT IN...IE. AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM...
THIS MARKET IS A MOONSHOT...OR IT IS NOTHING...!
THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START DOING THEIR CUTS SOON...
AND THAT WILL BOOST UNEMPLOYMENT BIG TIME FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR...
LOOK FOR MASSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT
BUY ANY DIP THE DOW IS A MOONSHOT...
BERNANKE IS HELL BENT TO PUSH THE DOW TO 20,000 ...!
THE ECONOMY STINKS...AND THE US ECONOMY IS AN HOLLOWED OUT ZOMBIE...
THE FED WILL SIMPLY KEEP PRINTING MONEY UNTIL THE DOW HITS 20,000...
ANY PULL BACK IS A HUGE BUYING OPPORTUNITY...
IT ISN'T REAL...BUT NEITHER ARE THE BERNANKE BUCKS THAT ARE POURING INTO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY...THE REFLATION TRADE HAS A LONG WAY TO GO...
VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING THE FOX TEABAGGERS IN CONGRESS SAY THEY WILL DO THIS YEAR... WILL DRAG DOWN THE ECONOMY...! AND LIKELY CAUSE THE DREADED "DOUBLE DIP"....
TEABAGGERS ARE THE ULTIMATE ANTI-KEYESIANS...
CURIOUSLY... AS SUCH...THE ACADEMIC ECONOMIC COMMUNITY DOES NOT AGREE WITH MOST TEABAGGER POLICIES...
ESPECIALLY THEIR ATTEMPT TO STARVE THE BEAST...DURING THE CURRENT DEPRESSION...
THE STATES ARE ABOUT TO IMPLODE...AND THE TEABAGGERS WILL BE CHEERING AND POURING GAS ON THE FIRE...
AS THE US ECONOMY IS CLINGING TO AN ECONOMIC LEDGE... THE TEABAGGERS WILL BE CHANTING:
"JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!"
IF YOU HATE AMERICAN STUPIDITY, LIKE I DO... ALL YOU CAN SAY IS...GO TEABAGGERS...!!
AND THAT ALSO APPLIES EVEN IF YOU JUST HATE AMERICA!
WALL STREET IS IN MOONSHOT MODE...AND EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW IT...
THIS IS ONE LAST FED ATTEMPT TO REFLATE THE US ECONOMY FROM ITS ZOMBIE STATUS...
LIKELY IT WILL WORK FOR A WHILE LONGER... SO THIS MARKET IS A MOONSHOT FROM NOW UNTIL THE FINAL CRASH...PERHAPS LATER THIS YEAR...OR INTO 2012...
NOTHING CAN STOP THE FED STOCK BUBBLE...AND NOTHING CAN SAVE THE US ECONOMY... AND THAT IS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID ABOUT IT...
MAKE NO MISTAKE...THE DOW IS A MOONSHOT NOW...AND THE BERNANKE PUT IS ITS CAUSE...
THIS MARKET WILL RISE UNTIL IT CRASHES...BERNANKE HAS HIS BELOVED "INFLATION" ONLY ITS MOSTLY IN STOCKS...AND COMMODITIES... THIS IS TRUE INFLATION...EVEN IF IT IS NOT YET FELT ON MAIN STREET...
PRINTING MONEY CAN STILL CAUSE INFLATION...EVEN IT AN ECONOMY THAT IS IN TOTAL COLLAPSE AS THE US ECONOMY IS NOW...
CURIOUSLY THE MONEY PRINTING...MAY BE CAUSING MORE INFLATION OFF SHORE OF AMERICA THAN IN THE US ITSELF... HENCE THE MOVES BY THE CHINESE TO RAISE RATES AND AVOID THE WORST OF THE BERNANKE MONEY MADNESS...
ONE THING IS FOR SURE...NOTHING CAN SAVE AMERICA'S MAIN STREET ECONOMY...ITS GONE...A ZOMBIE REALLY...
IF STUFFING WALL STREET AND THE WORLD WITH PAPER MONEY CAN MAKE THE MAIN STREET ZOMBIE TWITCH AND MAYBE DANCE A LITTLE...SO BE IT...
ITS OVER FOR AMERICA...
OBAMA SHOULD JUST LET THE FOX REPUBLICANS HAVE THE NATION...THAT THEY RUINED...
EGYPT IS LOOKING FOR A LEADER... ITS AMAZING TO WATCH...
THIS IS HOW LENIN, HITLER AND NAPOLEON ROSE TO POWER...
AMID THE CHAOS OF REVOLUTION...AND GENERAL DISCONTENT.
THE NOTION OF A REVOLT WITHOUT AN ORGANIZED GROUP OF LEADERS IS RATHER RARE...BUT IT DOES OCCUR... EVEN THE SMALLEST ORGANIZATION WITH A STRONG LEADER...COULD TAKE OVER IN EGYPT...
LIKE WATCHING LENIN ARRIVE AT FINLAND STATION.
THIS COULD BE INTERESTING...
SPLATTER BALL...!
LIKELY THIS BUBBLE WILL BE PUSHED TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT...
AND THE INEVITABLE BURST WILL BE VERY DESTRUCTIVE...NOT UNLIKE THE 2008 COLLAPSE...
BUT THIS TIME THERE WILL BE NO ZERO INTEREST RATES AND QE MONEY PRINTING TO FALL BACK ON.... YOU CAN ONLY GO TO THAT WELL ONCE...!
AT SOME POINT..."IT ALWAYS GOES UP" BECOMES AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY TO AVOID A MASS PANIC TOWARD EXITS AT THE END OF THE BUBBLE...
AS LONG AS NO HEDGIE HEADS FOR THE DOOR...THE SPECULATORS WILL BE OK...
THE FIRST ONE OUT THE DOOR...WILL COLLAPSE THE BUBBLE.
THE RETAIL SUCKERS ARE NOT REALLY INVOLVED EXCEPT VIA THEIR 401K REMNANTS.
THE FANTASY MARKET IS ENDING... THE REASONS WHY ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION...LETS JUST SAY 'OVERBOUGHT'...
THERE ARE FORCES AT WORK THAT WILL REVEAL THE ECONOMY TO BE STRUCTURALLY DAMAGED... BUT THAT TYPE OF REALITY WAS NOT A FACTOR IN THIS MARKET'S "NEW YEARS RALLY..."
BASICALLY...FROM JAN 1 TILL NOW...THE MARKET HAS BEEN UNWINDING ALL THE OLD "MACRO WINNERS" OF 2010... THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WINDING MACRO PLAYS...MEANS GOING TOTALLY CONTRARIAN...AND THIS HAS LIMITS...
THE MARKET HAS ESSENTIALLY BEEN TRADING "AS IF" IT WERE IRRATIONAL... IT HAD TO BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY CURE FOR THE 2010 HYPER-RATIONAL MARKET...IE GOLD
A LOT OF PEOPLE FLED TO DOW BLUE CHIPS IN DESPERATION AFTER NEW YEARS...IF THEY DID NOT WANT TO "GO IRRATIONAL"... THE OLD WHEN IN DOUBT BUY CLOROX AND J&J...
IN 2010 ALL THE RETAIL SUCKERS WERE FLOCKING TO GOLD ...THAT HAD TO BE "ADJUSTED"...AND SOME LESSONS TAUGHT TO THE SUCKERS...
MARKETS ARE NOT RATIONAL...MARKETS ARE A GAME...AND SOMETIMES THAT GAME GOES HAYWIRE...ON PURPOSE.
THE "NEEDED" PERIOD OF IRRATIONALITY MAY BE ENDING... IF NOT NOW...THEN EVENTUALLY THIS SPRING...
AT SOME POINT THE MACRO THEORIES WILL BE WORKING AGAIN...
AND THAT MEANS ARKNOWLEDGING HOW BADLY DAMAGED THE US ZOMBIE ECONOMY REALLY IS...
THE MELT UP CONTINUES...AND WILL CONTINUE AS LONG AS THE FED IS VOWING TO SUPPORT STOCK PRICES...WITH QE2...AND ZERO INTEREST RATES...
THERE IS NO REASON FOR STOCKS TO GO DOWN... TRUE, THE REAL ECONOMY STINKS...BUT STOCKS HAVE "TRANCENDED" THE REAL ECONOMY...IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE....
SO STOCKS WILL GO UP...UNTIL THEY DON'T...THEN THEY WILL GO DOWN FAST...
WE'VE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE...THIS FEELS LIKE THE 1999 MARKET ALL OVER AGAIN...EXCEPT TODAY FEWER PEOPLE ARE TRUE BELIEVERS...
ESSENTIALLY THE HIGH FREQUENCY TRADERS ARE TRADING TO EACH OTHER...AND SO FAR ITS WORKING...
THIS IS THE KIND OF MARKET THAT DEFIES EXPLANATION...SO DON'T EVEN TRY...YOU'LL LOOK FOOLISH...
STOCKS WILL GO UP UNTIL THEY GO DOWN...IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE MARKETS...
USUALLY THERE IS HOPE OF "DISTRIBUTION" TO THE RETAIL SUCKERS AT THIS POINT... AND SOME OF THAT MAY BE HAPPENING...
BUT NOT MUCH...
THIS IS SPECULATORS SELLING TO SPECULATORS...
THE RETAIL SUCKERS ARE NOT COMING BACK ANY TIME SOON...
OREILLY IS OBSESSING OVER HIS FIRST REAL NEWS INTERVIEW WITH OBAMA...
OBAMA MOPPED THE FLOOR WITH THE FOX LUNATIC PUNDIT...AND OREILLY CAME OFF AS A RUDE CRANK...AND HALF CRAZED IDEOLOGUE WHO IS COMPLETELY AGENDA DRIVEN...
SADLY FOX AGENDA IS TO DESTROY AMERICA BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY...
TONIGHT FOX BANISHED THE LIP GLOSS BIMBOS "EXPERTS"...SO OREILLY CAN BASK IN THE LIMELIGHT OF THE ANNOINTED ONE...FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...
BUT THE HATE AGENDA WILL BE BACK...SOON... BECAUSE FOX CAN'T AFFORD TO DO REAL NEWS FOR TOO LONG...THEIR UNEDUCATED VIEWERS WOULD GET BORED AND TURN ON ESPN...
HAS THE NIGHTLY FOX FREAK SHOW PEAKED...?
IS "FOX STUPID" BECOMING UNCOOL...!!
FOX HAS THE 15% OF AMERICANS WHO ARE POLITICAL CRAZIES LOCKED UP... BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE HOPELESS CASES... TOTALLY UNCOOL... THEY ARE IN THE "STUPID BUT PROUD" CAMP OF POLITICAL OPINION...ALA PALIN ETAL...
...WORSE THEY ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS MAY BE TIRING OF INSANE RANTS ON FOX...
FOX'S KIND OF NUT BALL POLITICS IS ONLY INTERESTING FOR A WHILE... IT GETS OLD FAST... AND EVENTUALLY SANE VIEWERS WILL SEEK OTHER STYLES OF ENTERTAINMENT...
FOX HAS PEAKED..
THE FREAK SHOW FORMAT IS GETTING OLD...
ITS TIME FOR THE GROWNUP SEGMENT OF THE ELECTORATE TO GET REAL...AND MORE ON.
SPOUTING FREAKISH NOTIONS SEEN ON FOX OR FROM GLENN BECK...IS TOTALLY UNCOOL...
AND IT REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE STUPIDITY OF THE PERSON SPEWING THIS NONSENSE... AND IN THIS LABOR MARKET...STUPID AND PROUD COULD BE A EXPRESS PATH TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE.
FOX STUPID MAY NOT BE COOL MUCH LONGER...
WHAT KIND OF CRAZY IS THIS...?
THE VILLAGES ARE POOR AND SHOELESS...
AND THE TERRORISTS ARE SAUDI BILLIONAIRES...WHO HAVE LONG AGO FLED THE AREA...
WHAT KIND OF CRAZY IS THIS...!
THE BANKRUPTCY OF MANY STATES AND CITIES THIS SUMMER WILL BE THE START OF THE SECOND LEG DOWN IN THIS DEPRESSION...
AS THE STIMULUS RUNS OUT...AND QE2 STOPS...THE ECONOMY COULD BE IN FOR A RUDE SURPRISE...
ALL THE LATHER ON WALL STREET IS STRICTLY MOMENTUM TRADING MULTPLIED BY THE NEW "HIGH FREQUENCY" TRADING PARADIGM...
THIS MARKET IS HEADING FOR A BRICK WALL...AND THERE ARE NO BRAKES...ALL WE CAN DO IS SCREAM... WHEEEEEEEEE! AND LET IT GO....
FREE CONTENT WILL TRUMP PAID CONTENT EVERY TIME ON THE WEB...
THE PAID CONTENT NICHE WILL REMAIN SMALL FOR A LONG TIME...AND PAID CONTENT WILL NEVER BE DOMINANT ON THE INTERNET...
HAVING DUBYA CHARGED AND TRIED FOR HIS WAR CRIMES WOULD DO WONDERS TO ENHANCE AMERICA'S GLOBAL REPUTATION...
AND WOULD BE CAUSE FOR GREAT CELEBRATIONS AROUND THE WORLD...
THE SOONER BUSH IS CHARGED...(BECAUSE HE WILL BE EVENTUALLY) THE BETTER...
THE BUSH STAIN ON AMERICA'S ESCUTCHEON NEEDS TO BE WASHED OFF IN A CLEANSING WAR CRIMES TRIAL...
IF ANYONE NEEDED PROOF THAT FOX BULLSHIT CAN NOT STAND THE LIGHT OF DAY OUTSIDE OF THE FOX STUDIO...LAST NIGHTS SUPERBOWL INTERVIEW OF OBAMA BY MEDIA CREEP ORIELLY WAS PROOF...
ORIELLY TRIED THE SOME TACTICS ON OBAMA THAT HE USES ON THE LIP-GLOSSED BIMBO EXPERTS ON FOX... INTERJECTING NONSENSE...MANTRAS...BULLSHIT...INTERRUPTING THE FLOW OF DISCUSSION WITH NONSEQUITERS... AND THE ENTIRE HATE RADIO LEXICON OF HATE AND NONSENSE THAT WERE DEVELOPED BY RUSH ET AL...
AND IT DIDN'T WORK...! OBAMA KICKED THE COWARDLY PUNDITS FAT FOX ASS OVER AND OVER...
MY ADVISE TO OBAMA...MAKE AN INTERVIEW WITH FOX AT THE WHITE HOUSE A REGULAR EVENT... SIMPLY TO OFFSET THE 24.7 BULLSHIT AND BIG LIES THAT FOX SPEWS INTO THE EARS OF AMERICANS GREAT UNINFORMED AND LESS EDUCATED MASSES IN FLY OVER COUNTRY...
OBAMA CAN BEAT OREILLY, BECK, RUSH, HANNITY AND THE REST OF THE CLOWN POSSE...IF HE WOULD ONLY ENGAGE WITH THEM...
OBAMA NEEDS TO BE SENDING PEOPLE TO FOX ON A REGULAR BASIS...AND BEING 'INTERVIEWED' BY FOX ON A REGULAR BASIS...THAT WILL DO MORE TO ADVANCE THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA...THAN A DOZEN KISS-UP SPEECHES TO THE GREED MONGERS AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE...
There is a "secret agenda" in Egypt now... Probably well planned by Obama and others high up in the diplomatic community...
Its no secret that the "dictatorships" that the US is paying for in the middle east...are there because they "don't rock the boat" for Israel...and their beloved 60 year West Bank Occupation...
But America is broke... We can't afford to go on invading and paying off Muslim nations who want the West Bank finally resolved...and a Two State Solution estabished...
Sharon told Dubya to invade Iraq...and he did...! And we are still paying for that little "optional war"...
Here's the secret plan...you wont read about this in the news:
Dump all the "old dictatorships"...put in serious moderate Muslims...who are not insane Jihadi...
And this will scare Israel into getting real on the West Bank Two State Solution...
It would be no great loss now...Zionist illegal settlements would have to stop...but 60 years is too long to wait for the Zionist wing of Israeli politics to decide that the West Bank can't be annexed...
So get used to it...because we...and rest of the world...can no longer afford the Zionists "fun and games" about the fate of the West Bank.
Obama snubbed and ignored the Israeli PM when he was in Washington last year...Now "suddenly"...all the old paid off dictatorships are falling ...SUDDENLY...
Or maybe not...
So the plan is not to Dump Israel...
But rather to dump the support system behind the scenes... which has allowed the West Bank Occupation to fester into...911...Afghanistan...Iraq...Pakistan...and Iran...
America is broke...and its time for Israel to get real about the West Bank...
So NOW....slowly the "old world order" that allowed the West Bank Occupation to fester is going to have the props knocked out from under it ...one dictator at a time...
Need more proof...?
Consider: Will Israel be so high handed with attacking Palestinians now that the "Arab Street" is suddenly Real...! We'll see...
THE HYPE ABOUT REAGAN IS SOMETHING THAT ONLY HISTORY AND THE PASSAGE OF TIME WILL CORRECT...
REAGAN WAS THE PRESIDENT WHO STARTED AMERICA'S "GREAT DECLINE" ... A DECLINE WHICH IS NOW ENTERING ITS END GAME PHASE.
THIS NOTION THAT REAGAN "DEFEATED" THE USSR...IS NONSENSE...
THE USSR WAS DEFEATED BY ITS WILLINGNESS TO WET NURSE EASTERN EUROPE AND EASTERN GERMANY AFTER THE WAR ...UNTIL THE REGION WAS SAFELY REFORMED...READY FOR DEMOCRACY...AND ABLE TO REJOIN THE WORLD...
BOTH THE US AND RUSSIA HAD AN INTEREST IN SEEING THE EASTERN EUROPEAN ISSUE SOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL IN 1945... THE RESULT WAS THE "COLD WAR" WHICH WAS ESSENTIALLY A FAKE...BECAUSE RUSSIA WAS NEVER REALLY A THREAT TO THE WEST... BUT THE UNSTABLE REGION OF EASTERN EUROPE WAS...
REAGANS LEGACY IS BASICALLY WALL STREET LOOTERS, FOX NEWS AND PALIN AND THE REST OF THE CLOWN POSSE...
THE CONSEQUENCES OF REAGANISM IS PUTTING THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF THE AMERICAN NATION...TODAY
WITHOUT REAGAN AND HIS LEGACY...?
VERY POSSIBILITY AMERICA COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED...
AND DEVELOPED MORE LIKE GERMANY, JAPAN OR OTHERS IN WESTERN EUROPE...WHICH IS TO SAY A NATION THAT RUNS AS IF IT HAS TO EARN ITS KEEP...
AND RELY NOT "EXCEPTIONAL"...AND OTHER REAGAN-QUE BULLSHIT THAT HAS FINALLY BROUGHT THE NATION TO ITS KNEES ECONOMICALLY AND MILITARILY.
THE BULLSHIT OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM ...WHICH REAGAN PERSONIFIED...WAS REALLY THE START OF THE CURRENT AMERICAN DECLINE... AND THAT END GAME IS PLAYING OUT RIGHT NOW...
AMID THE CRIES FOR DEMOCRACY IN THE ARAB WORLD...WHAT IS BEING MISSED IS THAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE ZIONIST OCCUPATION OF THE WEST BANK...
CONSIDER:
MOST OF THESE MIDEAST DICTATORSHIPS WERE ...EFFECTIVELY PURCHASED THIRTY YEARS AGO...BY THE AMERICANS TO KEEP THE ZIONIST OCCUPATION ON THE WEST BANK...
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE ZIONISTS WANTED TO ANNEX THE WEST BANK...BUT FOR LEGAL REASONS THEY HAVE NOT...
THE RESULT HAS BEEN A BIZARRE MIDDLE EAST POLICY BY THE AMERICANS...ESSENTIALLY PAYING AND BUYING OFF REGIONAL DICTATORS...AND EVEN INVADING NATIONS THAT WOULD NOT GO ALONG WITH THE ZIONIST AGENDA...AT LEAST ON THE SURFACE.
THE DEBACLE IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ...HAS BANKRUPTED THE AMERICANS...
AMERICANS SIMPLY CAN NOT "AFFORD ISRAEL" ANYMORE...AND ITS "INVASION DEMANDS" AS HAPPEN IN IRAQ...AND NOW WITH IRAN....
SO SOME RESOLUTION OF THE WEST BANK OCCUPATION...IN THE FORM A TWO STATE SOLUTION....IS NEEDED...AND NEEDED NOW...BADLY!
ARABS SIMPLY ARE NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH WESTERN DICTATORS FOR ANOTHER 60 YEARS SO THE WEST BANK OCCUPATION CAN CONTINUE...
THE PROOF OF THIS IS THAT THE WORSE FEAR OF AMERICANS AND THEIR ZIONIST CLIENT...IS THAT "ISLAMISTS" WILL TAKE OVER IN THE REGION... THE SURPRESSION OF ALL ISLAMIC OPINION ABOUT ISRAEL HAS MADE MUSLIMS THE ENEMY... EVERYONE WHO IS IN FAVOR OF A TWO STATE SOLUTIION...NOW!...IS BANDED AS A TERRORIST AND ANTI-SEMITE... EVEN IN THE US...!
WHAT IS PLAYING OUT NOW IN EGYPT AND ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST...HAS MORE TO DO WITH SETTLING THE WEST BANK OCCUPATION...THAN WITH GETTING WESTERN DICTATORS OFF THE BACKS OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM PEOPLE...
MY PREDICTION: IF THE WEST BANK IS FINALLY SETTLED...THERE WILL BE AN ERA OF PROSPERITY AND CALMNESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT HAS BEEN ABSENT FOR A CENTURY...
THE ZIONISTS MUST GIVE UP ON THEIR ILLEGAL DREAM STATE OF WEST BANK ANNEXATION...FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD...AND TO AVOID THE TOTAL BANKRUPTCY OF THEIR AMERICAN "GOLEM"...
THE ZIONISTS KNOW THE JIG IS UP...
IS ALL THIS TOO REAL FOR YOU...? TOO HARSH...?
PERHAPS... BUT IS IT TRUE...?
AND ESPECIALLY TRUE AT LEVEL OF CORE HISTORICAL REASONING...?
O'REILLY AND FOX SEEM POSITIVELY GIDDY ABOUT THE UP COMING OBAMA INTERVIEW BEFORE THE SUPERBOWL...
FINALLY O'RIELLY WILL GET A CHANCE TO DO A REAL NEWS STORY ... INSTEAD OF THE USUAL BULLSHIT FROM THE CLOWN POSSE ... AND LIP-GLOSSED BIMBO "EXPERTS" WHO RANT NIGHTLY AND GET SLAPPED AROUND BY ORIELLY ...FOR THE DELIGHT OF THE FOX AUDIENCE.
OBAMA SHOULD TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CALL FOX'S-NON STOP BULLSHIT AND BIG LIES...WHAT THEY REALLY ARE...BULLSHIT AND BIG LIES..
ITS TRUE THAT FOX NEWS ONLY APPEALS TO THE INFORMATIONALLY CHALLENGED AND OTHERWISE STUPID AND UNINFORMED...
BUT OBAMA SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE MORE STUPID PEOPLE WATCHING FOX THAN SMART PROGRESSIVES WATCHING CNN AND MSNBC...
REACHING THE MORON SEGMENT OF THE ELECTORATE THROUGH FOX COULD HELP...
I WOULD URGE OBAMA TO BE ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL WITH FOX AND ORIELLY AT THE SUPERBOWL...NOT MR NICE GUY...
OBAMA SHOULD BASICALLY TELL ORIELLY AND FOX THAT THEIR BULLSHIT AND BIG LIE AGENDA TO DESTROY AMERICA IS DISGRACEFUL...
AMERICANS ARE POOR AND IGNORANT...AND THAT IS NOT A WINNING COMBINATION.
WHAT IS STOPPING THE BUSH WAR CRIMES TRIALS...?
THE EGYPT REVOLT IS OVER...NOTHING WILL COME OF IT...EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE SOBERED UP...
WHY...? THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION TO TAKE OVER... NO ACCEPTABLE ORGANIZED OPPOSITION... WHO WILL LEAD THE NEW GOVERNMENT...? THE ELITES WILL NOT ALLOW THIS VACCUM TO CONTINUE...
JUST SOME VAGUE "DISCONTENT" ON THE STREET IS NOT ENOUGH...
THIS WILL BLOW OVER QUITE QUICKLY...WITH PERHAPS A FEW REFORMS GRANTED BY THE ELITES...
OK EGYPTIANS WHAT JOBS AND CHEAPER FOOD... BUT SO DO AMERICANS...!
THERE IS A LARGE MIDDLE CLASS UNDER THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT...AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FLEE BECAUSE OF SOME RIFF RAFF IN TAHRIR SQUARE...
EGYPT WILL HAVE CHANGE...BUT NOT REVOLUTION... AND WHY WOULD AMERICA HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY...?
THE DROP IN TEMPS WAS LARGE AND DOES NOT AUGER WELL FOR THE FUTURE...
THE DROP IN CONSTRUCTION WAS LIKELY CAUSED BY THE HOUSING GLUT OVERHANG...
HEALTH CARE HAS SETTLED DOWN...IT WAS THE BIG NUMBER FOR YEARS...
GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE DOWN ... AND GET WORSE...
NOTHING IS REALLY WORKING IN THE US ECONOMY NOW...EVERYTHING IS SICK LOOKING ... AS PART OF THE DISEASED ZOMBIE ECONOMY...
ALL THE FED MONEY SEEMS TO BE GOING OFF SHORE...
MANY EGYPTIANS THINK THE REBELLION OF LATE HAS US AND ISRAELI INFLUENCE IN IT...
THE REBELLION IS OVER IN EGYPT... THEY NEED TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS AND FORGET THIS WASHINGTON PIPEDREAM...
FOX NEWS HAS TURNED THE EGYPTIANS AGAINST THE US MEDDLING...
THE GLENN BECK WAR LOOMS...!!
Bernanke admits that he is "forcing people" into stocks...and out of cash and CDs...and eventually bonds...
Not only with zero interest rates...but also with money printing in huge amounts (QE2)...which is going directly to Wall Street investment banks...
Likely they are buying up stocks....hence the new bubble...but also spending some of that money to build plant and equipment in Asia...AND TO HIRE IN ASIA...!
Bernanke is in for a big surprise...
He seems to think that the US economy is somehow "normal" and not a Zombie...and that it will eventually respond normally to conventional macroeconomic stimulus theory...
This is obviously a mistake as anyone living in the real economy....can see...
Buying the "Bush Bottom" was a good idea because the FED is FINALLY admitting that it is directly supporting Wall Street at all costs now...
This is the Socialism for Capitalists that many people complain of...
The problem with the "new bubble" is that this one was DIRECTLY AND ADMITTEDLY caused by the FED...and they do not deny it...
We have come a long way from when the FED used to "take the punch bowl away...!"
These are surreal and strange times...
It sort of reminds me of the mentality that must have gripped Germany in 1945...when they thought the "phantom divisions" would save them...
The FED is playing the END GAME for all its worth...but to any outsider its clearly delusional thinking...
GOLLLY....! COULD THIS BE TRUE...!
THE LAST TWO DAYS WITH US JOURNALISTS IN EGYPT "CHEERLEADING" FOR THE OVER THROW OF THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT WAS TOO BIZARRE TO LAST...
AND NOW ITS OVER...
MUBARAK IS ALLEGING A PLOT BETWEEN ZIONISTS AND WASHINGTON TO TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT...!
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TURN OF EVENTS...AND COULD RESULT IN OBAMA HAVING TO APOLOGIZE TO THE ARAB WORLD FOR HIS ACTIONS...
GET READY FOR THE SHIT TO HIT THE FAN...!
NOW THIS IS GOING TO GET INTERESTING...!
EGYPTIAN TV BROADCASTS "CONFESSIONS" OF GUILTY ZIONIST AGENTS...!
THE NUMBER WILL BE LOWER THAN EXPECTED...BUT THE MARKET WILL RALLY ON HOPES OF QE3...AND MAYBE QE4...
WE ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE KANSAS AGAIN WITH THIS ECONOMY...AND THIS FED....
YEAH...ITS COME TO THAT ...
FUTURE HISTORIANS SHOULD HAVE A TAPE OF BERNANKE'S SPEECH TODAY...
BERENAKE'S BIZARRE COMMENTS WERE LIKE SOMETHING COMING OUT OF BERLIN IN 1945...
THIS IS NOT REALITY...THIS IS SOME NONSENSE ABOUT SENDING "PHANTOM DIVISIONS" TO SAVE THE US ZOMBIE ECONOMY...
SAD..YES...BUT ALSO VERY SCARY...
THIS DEPRESSION IS FOR EVERYONE...
(EXCEPT OF COURSE WALL STREET)
AS THE ARABS REBEL AGAINST THEIR LOOTING ELITES...THE QUESTION NEEDS TO BE ASKED: WHEN DO AMERICANS STAGE THEIR DAY OF RAGE...
AS UNEMPLOYMENT, UNDEREMPLOYMENT AND LACK OF HEALTH CARE GROWS...AND JOBS ARE SHIPPED OFF SHORE BY THE INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL ELITES...EVEN AS MAIN STREET AND HOUSING CONTINUE TO COLLAPSE...AND WAGES STAGNATE EVEN WHILE FOOD AND FUEL PRICES SOAR...
WHEN WILL AMERICAN RISE UP...? WHEN WILL AMERICANS HAVE THEIR "DAY OF RAGE?"
CAN STUPID AMERICANS BE "BOUGHT OFF" WITH FOX WEDGE ISSUES FOREVER...? WILL FOX REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF THE NEW POOR WHO ARE THEIR MAIN VIEWERS...?
LIKELY NOT...
EVERY SOCIAL MOVEMENT FOR CHANGE EVENTUALLY NEEDS A "DAY OF RAGE"...WHETHER ITS CIVIL RIGHTS, ANTI-WAR, WORKERS RIGHTS...EVEN BACK TO THE BONUS ARMY AFTER WWI... SOCIAL CHANGE DOES NOT OCCUR UNLESS AND UNTIL A "DAY OF RAGE" HAPPENS...
AS THE GREAT AMERICAN DEPRESSION DRAGS ON... SOME PEOPLE MIGHT ASK...IS IT TIME...?
