Not a prostitute or a politician can ever say that they are not fucking you just for the money. And you do get fucked, by either.

THE OTHER HALF OF THE STORY

THE OTHER HALF OF THE STORY
I know I always make people angry, deflating their bubbles, arguing against their most firmly held beliefs and destroying their "logic" with facts and figures.
The problems the country faces today are manifold, as I told you in 2003, Americans are very narrow minded, as in when it comes to their sense of history, recent and past, and have very little knowledge of anything else and secondly, the Americans do not take criticism of their beliefs lightly, no matter how wrong they might be,(neither does any one else for that matter) .
Obviously if you are a Democrat or a Republican, you know only one half of the story of the Untied States, political, societal and economic, If you are an independent you also know much less than you think.
But ah! so contemporary, just like any "reality show" ( we actually call them and do treat them as reality) we talk past each other, we do not understand each others points of view, or even try. We may be country men together, but we exist in parallel universes. So much so, we seem to believe that the natural laws that apply to one side do not simultaneously apply to us also.
The mess we are in was not created just by one party, and the independents, the Libertarians, The TEA partiers and others are similarly guilty. We took our eyes off the ball. Everything was just too easy. So who cares that the Chinese or the Phillipnoes or the Bengladeshies worked as slaves, or we had the Mexicans to clean our homes and pick our crops. We were the Americans, we were above all of it.
As I warned in 2003, those who will manipulate the currencies to lower the wages of workers so that they will not have to move the factories will also do it to us one day, did you know, or remember that it was the Democrats benefactor, George Soros himself who sold these people down the river, he will do it to us also, one day.

Yes, there are at least these three articles linked to here, and there are more. But we were busy, shopping as the Decider had asked us to so we forgot to care, not just about the Iraqis and the Afghans, but what was being done in our names as the American people of the United States.

Huge Wikileaks release shows
Here is a link to the BBC review, analysis and report of the Wikileaks latest cache of US Army documents. I will not comment on this for the moment but will says this much. US and the Western governments know that no matter how "classified" these reports are they only keep their own people in the dark, people in Iraq already know what we have been doing there first hand, as they knew in Afghanistan as to what was happening before the documents on war there were released.24 October 2010 Last updated at 02:33 ET
Iraqi PM criticises timing of Wikileaks disclosure
I have discussed the problems with these wars here before, from our intelligence units handy works to the effects on our own troops of these misadventures.Yes, there are at least these three articles linked to here, and there are more. But we were busy, shopping as the Decider had asked us to so we forgot to care, not just about the Iraqis and the Afghans, but what was being done in our names as the American people of the United States.

A ZERO SUM GAME IV
10/20/10
A ZERO SUM GAME IV
There is a story, many years ago a would be robber walked into a convenience store, with a paper bag on his head, to rob it. As he asked the clerk for the money, the clerk just laughed, you see! the robber had forgot to cut out holes for his eyes in the bag and was thus unable to see.
Such is the situation when you approach the elections, most of the electorate is blinded by, not the facts, but their own preconceived notions of what will work and what is good for them and thus for the country. Many years ago, just prior to such an election, I wrote about the ignorance of the average voter. But let me say this first, many of us try to get the information but one way or another we are faced with the biases of the media and more so of the messengers( politicians).
The first lesson in any democracy today should be this, just as one does not start a whore house or a gambling establishment just to provide a service for the public, and jobs for the poor, ( the idea is to make money right?) no one today runs for any political office without a certain degree of self interest and a real knowledge of the monetary gains that accrue through that political power, any one to tell you otherwise is a liar!
The second lesson is that you can only spend a dollar one time, and a borrowed dollar must also be paid back at some time. As in all the dollars that have been borrowed by our country must be paid back. The reality today is also that these monies CANNOT be paid back without both the raising of taxes and the cuts in spending not just one or the other.
The third, the true evidence that this country has been stolen, run by the thieves is that since the housing debacle began (2006) and the market crashed in 2008 people are not being prosecuted, like Micheal Milken was in the junk bond scheme, now we have just changed the name of junk bonds and called them Mortgage Backed Securities, (MSB) it is the same pile of...
And the last one, you can vote how ever you want to it might make you feel better, thing are not going to change, no time soon, but we can hope and change again in just two more years.

How to avoid a debt doomsday

How to avoid a debt doomsday
This in response to a post on the CNN money (see link above)
To whom it may concern, below, you know who you are!
To assume that if nothing in the budget is increased the budget will be balanced in six years, ( I picked a bad year to stop smoking that thing you are smoking) if not some one is blowing smoke up your kilt. There are a thousand assumptions here, and you and I both know that stuff about assuming.
First of all it assumes that a recovery is in place and we have no evidence of that ( some say that the recession is over but the Right denies that , right?
Then it assumes that the rich will create jobs to feed the hungry, that is also not true, besides all the other arguments I have made in my blog the consumption and the consumer demand both are on the wane, thus no jobs, and fewer taxes that will cause more and more state and local employees will be laid off, thus reducing the demand further.
No recovery in housing and housing prices, as more and more foreclosures hit the market the glut won't be worked off in a slow recovery economy and and the revenues will not rise fast enough.
With the monies already printed and spent, the FED can not keep the interest rates low forever, no matter the lies they have been telling, please my dear look at the commodity prices!
Even if the interest rates were to go up by only two or three points, the whole tax income will be needed to service the debt obligations with nothing left at all to do anything else, thus as predicted making the US just another third world country! Back in the day we had shroom tea, the lady from Alaska must have some potent shi**
Lovely regards.

A ZERO SUM GAME III
Here it is, the theory of relativity says that as we move faster in to the future, faster we are escaping the past, so we stop looking at it, it fades in to nothingness. But the reality is different, the faster we move in to the future, the faster the past will follow us, it is there , always, right at our ankles, it has always been there, it still is.
We are, as always, bound to our past as we ever were, no matter the toys, no matter the technology, no matter the new sociology. The human condition remains the same. In my various discussions of poverty, of society, of finances and economy, time and time again, I have shown how nothing has really changed no matter the venue being discussed. No matter that I worry that the consequences we face will also be the same.
As we talk of globalization, and a global economy, we must not forget that there are two possibilities that we face, one that we could have regional wars, as in one region against the other over the control of resources and production, or we could end up with two worlds, on for the producers and their controllers and the other world for everyone else. It is no longer a science fiction, it is the future in the near term.
In the new utopia the money as we know it will cease to exist, you will be granted privileges based on your out put and your usefulness to the system. I have told you this before, the system is already in place and you are paid based on your service and your compliance of the system already, you already must justify your value to the system, the military service (even in a civilian capacity or as a contractor) is thus more valued than in any other role. Military and then police are needed to support the implementation of the new system. Time and time again we see the role of the military, not as the protector of freedoms and democracy, but as the acquirer and the protector of the resources.

THE STOCK MARKETS RALLY , AGAIN
In view of these news and the increase in projected lay offs ( unemployment rates) cuts in salaries and benefits isn't stock market lying about a possible recovery or is it a suckers rally again? Instead of this "news" why not tell the real news? Also you could address the consequences of a stock market rally in terms of what will happen to the interest rates and thus the federal budget deficits if the money is sent to the market and taken out of bonds. Are we not looking for a double dip recession? Is it not that familiar exuberance syndrome again.

THE BECK FACTOR

THE BECK FACTOR
http://www.onpointradio.org/2010/10/glenn-beck#comments
Call him a clown or a kook, preacher or a provocateur as you show today indicates he can not be ignored. He may be off the wall and a nit wit, but you have to admit that some of what he says could happen not because he says it so, but that the realities of our country could make it all come to pass. Whether you live in the right wing utopia or the left wing utopia,m we are in a mess. So why is it more appropriate for Ariana Huffington to claim that the United States is becoming a third world country but not right for Beck to say that we could have a revolution, from the left or the right!
First of all, let me say that a revolution of the old kind could not succeed in this country today, the military is too strong, and the intelligence unfathomable for the average mind, but what with spy satellites and drones and the government's ability to not only look into your house but to even tell you what you had for lunch (kinda Jesus like) you could not hide and or attack any government formation. On the other hand with the government resources shrinking at both the federal and local level crime could increase like in Pakistan or even Mexico and one may have to defend themselves and their loved ones and property, the government also could use the increase in crime to justify taking away of the civil liberties, that is if we have any left after the continual expansions of the patriots act. There may not be any FEMA prisons right now, but surely local stadiums and empty malls along with the old barracks of the closed military bases could be used to house the extra ordinarily large populations of the homeless and the criminals. The usual American affinity to the phrase "it can't happen here" not withstanding.
While Beck talks about a Communist, anarchist, Black Panther, labor, socialist insurgency and takeover, he never mentions the militias, the skin heads, the survivalists, the White supremacists, or even the radical religious right that are willing to take over the government and impose their own kind of freedom and democracy upon the nation.
In any case the country and the democracy are in trouble, we are stuck in a whirlpool and little hope of recovery or redemption, and the think we did not care to know about it.

A ZERO SUM GAME II

A ZERO SUM GAME II
I am not a lefty, I own a business, I own property, I own guns, I served in the military and received a Meritorious Service Medal for my service. What I write here is the truth that many do not know and many more do not understand.
It is true that Obama pushed through a health care bill of limited merit, but how many of us can afford private insurance? How many smaller companies were already doing away with their health care plans, and the lovely health care business was turned in to something akin to robbery and black mail. We were being promised too much, Obama plan if anything gives a false hope to many at best, you can read about it elsewhere in my blogs.
The basic idea is still the same, all all else being equal, some must become poorer to make someone else richer, whoever holds the better hand, this law of economics will not, can not be changed. Not by capitalism and most certainly not by socialism, only way to change the equation is to take care of each other, altruism.
The Republicans are talking of a tax increase, in truth they passed a law that bring the tax rates back to where they were before the Bush tax cuts, it was they who passed the law!
