This Pretty Much Says Everything!!

Sometimes my adopted state surprises me. Apparently not everyone is a flaming Communist here, although they love their farm subsidies a little too much for my liking...

And Daily Outrage props to Michelle Bachmann, who won't be filling out her 2010 census beyond how many people live in the house. Why? Because ACORN has been enlisted to "help out" with the data collection. ACORN abuse information? The hell you say! Before everyone jumps on the "Bachmann is a nutjob" bandwagon, I would like to remind you that the constitution (anyone remember the Constitution?) provides a census as a method of ennumeration only for representation purposes - not any of the other crap they collect. It's a giant head-count, not data mining. It will be interesting to see if anyone has her back, or if this will be yet another conservative going it alone, like Savage with his legal battle re: his ridiculous ban from the UK. The rest of those boobs on the radio need to remember "First they came for Savage, and I was silent, because I was not Savage." Who they'll run to when the attempts to silence them come in earnest, I don't know - but they need to have Mike's back right now on this, for the health of the industry if nothing else.

Nah, there's no big brother. I mean, it's not like employers are demanding your logins and passwords for internet sites or anything...oh, wait a minute.

Don't worry. Nothing to see here. Go watch the empty skirts on FOX and CNN and MSNBC. As long as there's hot dogs to stuff in your face, and sports to watch, you won't have to worry about OUR FREAKIN' CURRENCY BEING WORTHLESS as the crooks and goniffs in DC finish what W. started and complete the flushing of our country down the toilet.

Welcome to the 3rd World - Michigan

Some Michigan counties have turned a few once-paved roads back to gravel to save money.

US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive - Starting in Flint, MI.

Are you freakin' kidding me? Bulldozing cities? Letting roads turn into cow paths again? Hey you liberal retards in Michigan - have fun driving your Prius on a gravel road...let me know how that works out...

Keep voting Democrat! GooooooooooBama!!

Michigan, my home state, turning into a third-world country in my lifetime...

Russia to dump US paper?

Russia May Swap Some U.S. Treasuries for IMF Debt

...and then the world saw us spending money like retards in a five-and-dime, and decided not to invest in our economy anymore...

Europe swings Right as depression deepens - By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

The establisment Left had been crushed across most of Europe, just as it was in the early 1930s.

We have seen the ultimate crisis of capitalism -- what Marxist-historian Eric Hobsbawm calls the "dramatic equivalent of the collapse of the Soviet Union" -- yet socialists have completely failed to reap any gain from the seeming vindication of their views.

It is not clear why a chunk of the blue-collar working base has swung almost overnight from Left to Right, but clearly we are seeing the delayed detonation of two political time-bombs: rising unemployment and the growth of immigrant enclaves that resist assimilation.

Note that Right-wing incumbents in France (Sarkozy) and Italy (Berlusconi), survived the European elections unscathed.

Left-wing incumbents in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, and of course Britain were either slaughtered, or badly mauled.

The Dutch Labour party that has dominated national politics for the last half century fell behind the anti-immigrant movement of Geert Wilders (banned from entering Britain). It serves them right for the staggeringly stupid decision to force through the European Constitution (renamed Lisbon) after it had already been rejected by their own voters by a fat margin in the 2005 referendum.

The Portuguese Socialists face Siberian exile after seeing a 18pc drop in their vote. The slow drip-drip of debt-deflation for a boom-bust Club Med state, trapped in the eurozone with an overvalued exchange rate (viz core Europe, and the world), has suddenly turned into a torrent. The country is already in deflation (-0.6pc in April). It has been suffering its own version of Japanese perma-slump for half a decade.

Portugal's opposition is calling for an immediate vote of no censure, while the Government clings to constitutional fig-leaves to hide its naked legitimacy. "O Governo está na sua plenitude de funções," said the chief spokesman. You can guess what that means. Not long for this world, surely.

In Germany and Austria, the Social Democrats suffered their worst defeats since World War Two. I don't say that with pleasure. A vibrant labour-SPD movement is vital for German political stability. It was the peeling away of Socialist support during the Bruning deflation of the Depression years -- so like today's Weber-Trichet deflation -- that led to the catastrophic election of July 1932, when the Nazis and Communists took half the Reichstag seats.

This will not happen again, thankfully, because there is no Bolshevik threat luring business into a Faustian pact with Fascists. But the picture is not benign either. Unemployment in Germany may reach 5m by the end of 2010, according to the five 'wise men' , even if recovery comes on schedule.

But as readers know, I still fear that this depression is quietly deepening. The savings rate is rocketing in the deficit states of the US, UK, Spain, et al, as the "sinners" belatedly tighten their belts, but their fall in consumption is not being matched by an offsetting rise among the surplus "saints" states, China, Japan, Germany-Netherlands, which all points to an implosion in world demand. Yes, the West is printing money.

But that is a harder to trick to pull off than Friedman and Bernanke ever realized. And core Europe is not really printing anyway beyond its chump-change dallying in the covered bond market.

In Ireland -- now crucifixion laboratory for the EMU, and downgraded again today to AA by S&P -- the ruling Fianna Fail was reduced to three seats in the European Parliament. It is the party's worst defeat since the creation of the Republic. Premier Brian Cowen cannot be long for this world either.

As for Gordon Brown, I can only say that having derided UKIP as fringe losers, his attempt to cling top office after UKIP trounced him is quite astonishing.

I find it odd that the press continue to talk about a leadership change as if Labour could possible keep going for another year, with yet another unelected prime minister, and with its authority reduced to tatters. This Parliament ought to be dissolved immediately. An election ought to be called this week.

It is shocking that Westminster's inbred family still cannot see the writing on the wall. If this sorry saga goes on much longer, we may have to conjure up some sort of medieval impeachment process. (My colleague Phil Johnston says no such mechanism exists. Pity)

So, we may lose three or four governments in Europe in coming days or weeks -- or even worse, they may survive. The drama is unfolding as I feared. Half way through the depression, we are facing the exactly the sort of political disintegration that occurs in times of profound economic rupture.

Remember, the dangerous phase in the Great Depression was Stage II, after the collapse of Austria's Credit-Anstalt in mid-1931 set off a disastrous chain-reaction that Autumn (until then, most people thought they faced no more than a bad recession, like today).

Don't count on the political fabric of Europe holding together if our green shoots shrivel and die in the credit drought of the long hot rainless summer that lies ahead.

It's Starting - "Stopping the Motor of the World"

Atlas Shrugged: the book explores a dystopian United States where leading industrialists and businessmen refuse to allow the government to exploit their labor for the "general good." The protagonist, Dagny Taggart, sees society collapse around her as the government increasingly asserts control over all industry, while society's most productive citizens, led by the mysterious John Galt, progressively disappear. Galt describes the strike as "stopping the motor of the world" by withdrawing the "minds" that drive society's growth and productivity; with their strike these creative minds hope to demonstrate that the economy and society would collapse without the profit motive and the efforts of the rational and productive.

Why I'm Leaving New York - Tom Golisano

Where are the people who actually produce things going? They're going to places where the local and state governments aren't taxing the hell out of them. However, they're finding out, as I have pointed out before, there is no Mayflower, and nowhere for one to go besides.

These times are going to get interesting...

American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper

This article is from Pravda, the Russian newspaper. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it, and those who never knew the history in the first place are going to feel it double.

Unsurprisingly, our own media, having completely abdicated their duty to the public, didn't pick this up. Reading this article in a Russian newspaper is like asking a Jew "Hey, what was up with that Holocaust thing again?"

From the article. READ IT IN ITS ENTIRETY (Emphasis added)

"First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe."

Excerpts from the California Supreme Court ruling upholding Prop. 8

I was sitting in my car when I heard the decision announced. My reaction? The same reaction as 60% of Californians:



It's a good thing I wasn't driving when it came over the radio. I would have run off the road.

Apparently the culture war isn't totally lost yet.

GP told family of meningitis death mother to 'stop fussing' three days before she died

Two different doctors mis-diagnose meningitis as a gastrointestinal problem?  WTF?

From the article:

“Mrs Finan fell ill on April 14 suffering from sickness, diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Mr Finan said they weren't too concerned at first and his wife tried to 'carry on as normal.'

But she began complaining of a painful headache and the next morning he called the doctor's surgery.

On April 15 a GP from their health centre in Stanley came to the house and diagnosed gastroenteritis.

'The doctor who came to see her didn't examine her at all, he took one look at her and said it was gastroenteritis. Not even Karen's temperature or blood pressure was taken,' he said.

By the evening her condition had deteriorated further.

Mr Finan said:'She kept saying "I'm red hot" but when I touched her skin it was cold, I put a fan on full blast to try and cool her down, I touched her back and she was dripping wet.'

Within 24 hours she could not speak and her eyes were rolling to the back of her head.

On the Thursday another GP came out and confirmed gastroenteritis. 'The doctor was saying Karen just needed to go to bed, we needed to stop fussing and she'd be right as rain by the weekend. It took me 35 minutes to get Karen up to bed, she couldn't walk or stand on her feet - she was like a dead weight.

'When the doctor left that day I told Karen I loved her. She looked at me and was able to mouth the words "I love you more" and went to sleep. That was it.'

By the next morning Mrs Finan was so ill her family dialled 999 and she was taken to Pinderfield's Hospital in Wakfield.

Tests were inconclusive and doctors said she may have had a stroke, a blood clot or a bleed on the brain.

Sadly her condition deteriorated and her brain became badly swollen and she died on April 19 with her family at her bedside. The couple have two children, Stacey, 18, and Fletcher, 12.”

Oh yeah, gimme some of that Kennedy Care…

Masters of the Obvious

 

Obama Says U.S. Long-Term Debt Load ‘Unsustainable,’ Warns of Skyrocketing Interest Rates

WOW.  I sure am glad that only the best, brightest, and people who apparently never lived through the Carter administration get into office…

“Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”

Better amend that to “Masters of the Downplay” as well, because if nobody wants to hold US debt (BONDS, jackass!) then we’re in some SERIOUS kimchi.

Since the government will be actively meddling in everything, you can count on it to get far worse than it would on its own.  It wouldn’t surprise me to see credit card rates around 20% and mortgages back at 28% before we’re all said and done.  But what the hell do I know.

Rates don’t go up because bondholders get “tired” of holding bonds, and credit card companies don’t capriciously raise rates for shits and grins.  Credit gets more expensive when risk cannot be effectively mitigated.  Or, to put it for the lay-man, WHEN THE DEADBEATS DON’T PAY, YOU WILL.  Just another subsidy for those who can’t do a damn thing for themselves.

Here.  Eat this.  Just how “”We The People” apparently like it, straight up.

The Obama “Gifts to give” Box:

 

The following items have recently been ordered by the White House to be presented to foreign heads of state and other miscellaneous dignitaries.  They are the best of what America has to offer the world.  Currently.

16,000 sticks of “Mighty Putty”

1 “Billy Mays”

1600 6 oz. bottles of “Liquid Ass”

300 pairs of “Funny Bum Undies”

120,000 “Dr. Fart” Farting Key Fobs

(an order error – was supposed to be 1200)

16 Fake “Doggonit” Dog Poops

2500 “Shock MP3” Players.

(We gave the Queen the last of the real iPods)

1600 “Shock Candy Bar”

1 “Eleanor Clift”

Lessons about gays will be compulsory from age of 11

Yes, even at RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS.  They will, however, be able to explain to the students that the government’s required teachings are against those of whatever particular religion that school is run by.

Do you think this will include the Moooooooooozlim schools?  I doubt it.  No doubt, the Mooz-lims will get some kind of exemption (perhaps a back-door exemption?) because as we all know, it is illegal to offend the Mohammedans, but everyone else is fair game, especially the Christians and Jews.  As you know, the world thinks that the only good Jew is a dead one, and the only good Christian is a marginalized one who has been put on the freak train.

UNBELIEVABLE.  How about just letting them be kids for Chrissakes? 

When in the hell will whatever men are left in the West, those few who have not been turned into some quasi-Homo “metrosexual” prancing around like a dandy?  I know they’re out there, I see them.  How much is enough for these people? 

DOES ANYONE SEE WHAT THE HELL THEY’VE DONE, AND ARE DOING, TO OUR CULTURE?!

Savage defines a nation by “Borders, Language & Culture.”  That is the most solid definition that I have ever heard.  They’ve attacked the borders until the southern border is practically non-existent, illegals pour over at a rate of 75,000 per week – and that’s the Border Patrol’s number, so I fear the real number is more, and what have we got?  No border, hordes of illegals coming in, spreading disease, using gold-plated healthcare that is guaranteed to them, living off of the taxpayer, and a US Government that is either impotent to protect the border, or criminally incompetent.

The swine flu is comprised of FOUR different viral components…I read that the chances of that happening are 1/10th of 1%.  Two virii can combine and nobody blinks an eye because that actually does happen, but despite what you’re being told, there are plenty of scientists who are questioning the chance that this was a natural occurrence.  “Ground Zero” of the disease appears to be Cancun.  Remember the Afghani woman (trained in the US!) who was working for Al-Qaeda trying to develop an extremely virulent form of the bird flu?  She got caught.  Then there were the guys trying to grow enough bubonic plague to start another black death – they got killed in the caves by their own plague farm.  These animals have shown themselves willing, able and determined to engineer a bio attack, and yet we have the border still open while the rest of the world takes this more serious than we do!  It’s astounding!

ISRAELIS SAVE ITALIAN SHIP FROM TAKEOVER BY PIRATES

While our once-great US Navy dances around the pirates, afraid to hurt any Moooz-lum feelings, the Israelis are apparently one of a few non-America-hating nations with stones anymore.

40% of kids born out of wedlock, marriage apparently not meaning anything anymore anyway, people committing suicide and killing their kids because they have lost their job, and therefore their roles as mega-consumers, kids being recruited through the Communist-infested public schools to become “gay allies” – I could go on for several pages, but won’t.  I can feel my blood pressure spiking. 

This is an extremely dangerous time in our nation’s history, and most of you morons don’t even see what’s right in front of you.  John Adams said it best:

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." – John Adams

I often wonder what the Founders would do, or change, if they had the chance to see what our country has turned into, and is becoming.  I suspect the Constitution would not be so vague on some things…call it a hunch.

I was in Kansas recently, and overheard a conversation at a gas station between the clerk and a couple of apparent regulars.  SOME people get it.  The eldest among them was regaling everyone else with tales of the Eisenhower years, and how we haven’t had a truly decent, upstanding, American man in the White House since Eisenhower, with the exception of Reagan.

I was fortunate to grow up during the Reagan years, when our culture was just a little moldy, not in full-fledged rot mode.  I look around, and with the accelerated pace of everything, it seems as though what took 40 years to go bad before only took 10 years to double.

Part of the reason I enjoy listening to stories of the other, lost, America that doesn’t exist anymore is because it was a time “when the women were straight and the chrome was thick.” (Savage).  I like stories of those times.  I like the music and film of those times. 

Let me repeat myself yet again, chew on this:  Do you realize that once this country is befouled and third-worlded, once the “Mongol hordes” of our times finish the conquest, that there is no Mayflower to board, and nowhere for it to go if there were?  Do you realize that?  I guess Western Civilization will have to colonize the moon instead, and let the Earth return to the beautiful  savagery it would be without the West.

Borders, language and culture.  The first is a fiction, and the other two are under attack on all fronts.  It’s part of a plan, and woe betide the men and women who will fall with the West not having heard the call to cultural arms.

Torture?

Waterboarding? Dude, that's sooooooo 2006.

Sleep deprivation? Where's the creativity?

Putting an insect in a cage? Come on...that sounds made up, frankly.

Now, the islamofascist scum have the market on torture cornered.

POP QUIZ! Do any of these names ring a bell to you? Here they are:

Eugene Armstrong
Nick Berg
Daniel Pearl
Paul Johnson
Jack Hensley
Kenneth Bigley

THEY ALL HAD THEIR F*%#ING HEADS CUT OFF BY THE ENEMY - NOW *THAT'S* TORTURE.

Yes, I said "enemy" - you know, the ones who would just as gladly see the streets run red with the blood of the idiot liberals in this country who defend them, feel sorry for them, grant them the same rights enjoyed by US Citizens - and don't forget access to our criminal courts. You see, these throwbacks would GLADLY cut MY head off and cut YOUR head off and be at the table for dinner an hour after, without breaking a sweat. I pulled up the Armstrong, Bigley, and Hensley videos out of my archives tonight, and briefly considered posting them so you morons can see what real torture is, but out of respect for those men, I will not do that. The videos out are out there if you wish to see them. They all have sound, so turn those speakers up, too. I don't want you to miss the sounds.

Compared to the tired guy in the cage with the caterpillar who they won't let sleep, seems like our boys got the shit end of the stick, doesn't it.

Props to Dick Cheney for his call to de-classify the rest of the documents. You know, the ones where Uncle Sam saved your sorry asses with their "torture" techniques. You people either have no survival instinct, or you're just STUPID. I don't know which, however, "mentally ill" is a given. Just wait until they turn the Gitmo prisoners free in the US. Nothing like IMPORTING sleeper cells, is there? My god, we have to put them on layaway now?

Ah well, just remember - there are no homos in Iran. Because the aptly described "little Hitler in the platform shoes" killed them all.

I am nauseous from watching those videos that I haven't seen for years, and can only imagine the terror and horror of the last moments of those guys' lives as they knelt there, blindfolded and bound, listening to Akbar rant on and on and on in Arabic (as if 6 minutes of that alone shouldn't be considered torture) only to feel the cold steel on their necks.

Gitmo prisoner: 'Nothing's changed since Obama'...

From the article:


"Mohammed al-Gharani, who has spent seven years in the camp, said that he had been hit with batons until his teeth broke and tear-gassed after refusing to leave his cell. The mistreatment started 20 days before Barack Obama became the American president, he said.

"Since then I've been subjected to it almost every day," he said. "Since Obama took charge he has not shown us that anything will change."

Well, you're going home soon, aren't you? That's "change." About all I can say to the allegation that not much has changed under Obama (except for the closing of the camp and the release of the prisoners) is that if nothing has changed, then THANK GOD FOR THAT. See, during the campaign I suspected that Obama may not have had all of the information in front of him that he would have had, say, had be been president for the preceeding 8 years. Bush was a tool, especially in his second term, but at least nothing else got blown up beyond 9/11. I sincerely hope that the Obama adminstration has the stugots to make sure nothing like that happens during his watch, and if it does, God forbid, I hope he has the people around him who don't have the moral wavering that I've seen so far in fighting, say, pirates.

Liberal Retard Update: Abortions Good During Recession!

Well, isn't she just CHARMING looking? Who wouldn't want to snuggle up with that?

I'm a little behind the curve on this one. The story happened on Apr. 1, but is no joke. I still had the story bookmarked in preparation for a blog post which I didn't have time to write, so here it is, late as usual.

From her retarded blog post:

"But in the long run, can we not agree that an unwed couple's decision not to bring a fourth child into the world when they are having trouble feeding themselves and three children is no tragedy? It's actually a fact-based, rational decision that in the end benefits the three children they already have and society as well.

. . .

The decision benefits society in two ways. It allows the couple to focus more time, energy and resources on their three children, giving each child a better life and a better chance of growing up to contribute to society. It also lessens the chance the family will have to rely on scarce public resources (food stamps, TANF) to raise their children. "

This woman is the same one who compared partial-birth abortion to "veal production" in 1995 on PBS' "To the Contrary" -

"But aren't most medical procedures, when you describe them in detail, pretty disgusting? Isn't, for example, the production of veal, when you describe it in detail, and how people eat meat, when they crunch down on the flesh of living beings, formerly living beings with their teeth. Isn't that pretty gruesome, too?"

What a whackjob. But, when you (erringly) suppose that you have some kind of mandate to veer the nation to the left, you can let your real opinions come out. My issue is that this "woman" (she looks like a post-op transvestite - apologies to the post-op transvestites) is being paid with Gubbmint monies, which come from a HUGE group of people, not all of whom subscribe to her ridiculous agenda. I seem to remember Dr. Savage losing a TV spot over calling some homo a "sodomite," but here's this wench telling women that aborting babies during a recession is a good thing. I have to think the babies would beg to differ, if they could.

Just file it away in your mind, along with a lot of other things being said by leftards right now. Their true colors are showing, and they're banking on you forgetting everything before the midterms.

Bows, Grovels, Snivels, Crappy Gifts & Bling!

US gives 50,000 dollars for quake-hit Italy?

Uh, that dollar figure is correct. Find the story HERE

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if this happened in Africa, Malaysia, Kathmandu, Bonga Bonga or some third world shite-hole, we would have committed BILLIONS in aid. And we wonder why none of our European “allies” are anxious to send a single MRE to help us in Afghanistan.

They can somehow scrounge up billions upon billions for the savage populations of the world, but when a European country needs help, we’ll send over bupkis. Hey, I know! Why don’t we send them some DVDs and an iPod!! Oh, that’s right…we save the really good stuff for foreign heads of state. To add to the list of odd gifts, Michelle Obama is reported to have given Carla Bruni (Sarkozy’s girl) a guitar. I hope she scratched the Wal-Mart tag off of it.

And here’s a picture that’s worth 1,000 words. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions:

And to dispel the rumor that’s floating around, that W. bowed before the Saudi king, let’s dispense with the BS. Here’s a photo of that alleged “bow”

Uh, sorry. Not a bow. He’s looking down at the immense bling that is being placed on him -

It is the King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit, the country's highest honor, named after the founder of the modern Saudi state. They hand them out like candy. Here’s a picture of Putin getting his -

From what I can find to read about it, it’s a tchotchke that King Abdullah likes to hand out to the rest of the world’s leadership. Maybe it’s part of a travel package – buy two night’s stay at the Imperial Ranch and get a free Order of Merit. Not a big deal. Not a “bow” like Obammy’s impressive grovel/snivel combo. Can we score that? The judges give Obammy -

Hope and change!

Also to preemptively dispel an up-and-coming debate, according to testimony delivered to the House Judiciary Committee, only 17% of drugs and guns are heading south **into** Mexico. Don’t let them fool you into thinking that we are the source of Mexico’s problem. You can’t blame Bush for that one, either. His term as co-President of Meh-hico expired last month. Jorge Boo-shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Thank God It’s Not A Depression (Yet).

Seriously…a website to help people cope with recession depression? What kind of shallow lives do people live that they get suicidal when they can’t shop?

NANNY STATE: GOVERNMENT WEBSITE TO WARN OF SADNESS/CRYING OVER ECONOMY

According to Drudge, the website is supposed to be launched at midnight tonight. Right now it just links to a 404 page.

I can’t imagine what would have become of our country if our grandparents and great-grandparents were made of as weak a fiber as we apparently are now. I read the stories of how people lived through the first Depression, and right now, the economy isn’t anywhere near as bad as it was during the Carter administration. If the pillow-biters and bed-wetters cannot handle *this*, what in the hell are they going to do when/if Obammy and the Fed’s trillion dollars in fiat money hit the market and inflation soars? There’s plenty of bona fide economists who are already predicting food shortages in this country if hyperinflation hits; as the Greeks used to say, “It’s good to be alive in interesting times.”

Russia, China cooperate on new currency proposals:

So let me see if I understand…Communist China and ostensibly non-Communist Russia are in cahoots in trying to foist a global currency on us. The hell you say! Why would anyone possibly believe that the ChiComs and Putin (former KGB!) are at all friendly? After all, W. “looked into his soul!” The UN reports this week that there will have to be a global governing agency (controlled by them, of course) in order to cut carbon emissions – but then stated that the framework needed to achieve that would be such that we might as well go ahead and take steps to form a World Government. Then Sarkozy threatens to leave the G20 summit if his proposal to create a global governing authority in re: financial markets is shot down…China is leery about buying any more of our debt, and Globalist rhetoric abounds. Anyone else see what’s being floated here? All I can say is thank God for the Ozarks, and the Good Ol’ Boys who live there. As Dr. Savage has pointed out before, it will be the hooligans who will save the West this time around, but I don’t think anyone anticipated having to save it from…ourselves.

GM, Chrysler Get Ultimatum on Turnaround

It’s the damndest thing; two of the precepts that we have inherited from our Anglo-Saxon legal ancestors are the law of contracts and the law of torts. In other words, do what you say you will do, and don’t hurt other people. These are foundations of our society and legal system. It amazes me that the Congress and the government will grab torches and pitchforks and lynch AIG executives over bonuses that the government approved and allowed to be contracted – a stunning display of bill of attainder capability if ever there was one – certainly the first in my lifetime, though I suspect not the last. When it is the UAW’s pockets, however, then everyone wails about the sanctity of contracts. I said from Day One to let the bastards go into Chapter 11, and let a bankruptcy judge do what they do. Hell, that was like $18 billion ago, too. Anyway, I like how they’re trying to get the bondholders to take equity stakes in GM instead of holding the bonds – remember, when GM goes the route of the inevitable Chapter 11, owners of stock go to the back of the line, whereas bond holders will get paid (albeit pennies on the dollar, probably, but paid nonetheless). If you hold GM bonds, hold onto them for dear life, and don’t be snookered into turning them in for stock. Some money is better than none.

Oh, by the way, for those who thought the bottom was here and the Dow was poised to skyrocket back up to 80,000, anyone see the 300-point shit it took today after Obammy put the smackdown on the auto industry? Oh, and this is just the beginning. That’s right…closing at 7522.02, up from its day low of 7437.59. Check it out here.

And lastly, a repost of the Obama Administration Theme Song. Every time I see the guy on TV or hear him on the radio, I hope they’ve stocked the screen he reads from with all kinds of pithy bon-mots. I’m usually not let down. I have an application on my phone that runs real-time market data, and I’m going to do an experiment to see market reactions (with data!) whenever the Great One, (Blessed be He), opens his yap and reads from the Big Screen.

Just imagine Obammy in period dress from “The Great Gatsby.” He could hold a radio hour, cause the markets to piss their pants, then shuffle off for a boating party with Tom and Daisy Buchannan!! HUZZAH! That would be just BULLY!!

Council uses spy plane with thermal imaging camera to snoop on homes wasting energy

The "Green Shirts" are coming to a town near you...

Thank God there are still some newspapers in the world who will do work on behalf of the people. Unfortunately, they're not in the United States. Remember, as England goes, so eventually goes the US. This article highlights exactly what's coming. From the article:

"Chief executive Matthew Elliott said: 'People are sick and tired of being heckled and spied on by local government and this council has shown an utter disregard for the man on the street.'
He added: 'We're in a recession and you would have thought this council had better ways to spend £30,000"

"Almost 500 local authorities have been using anti-terrorism powers brought in under the controversial Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act to launch a string of bizarre investigations.
These have included checks on dog fouling, putting bins out on the wrong day and people trying to cheat school catchment area rules."

Ah yes. Such important national security interests as "dog fouling." Are you waking up yet?

House adopts plan for 'volunteer' corps

Also requires new evaluation of 'mandatory'

service for all

I want you all to realize and remember that if the shit ever goes down in this country and we become anything at all akin to a dictatorship, THERE IS NO GOING BACK.

There's no recourse, no voting a totalitarian regime out, and there's no "Mayflower" for anyone to get on and there's nowhere for it to go even if there were one.

Read this. God knows your Senators won't.

Britain apologises for 'Third World' hospital

Britain apologises for 'Third World' hospital

Get ready...universal healthcare coming soon to a US town near you! All the 3rd world style health care you can shake a stick at - hell, the "doctor" may very well have a bone in his nose as he shakes his magic stick at you to drive the bad spirits making you sick out.

From the article -

"Receptionists with no medical training were left to to assess patients arriving at the hospital's accident and emergency department, the report found."

Oh yeah, gimme some of that. Change you can believe in!

AIG Bailout Bonus Debacle -

As I have been watching the news lately and all of the fake outrage coming out of Congress (especially in regards to this AIG business), I get the sense that this is what it must have been like to have lived in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution.

A couple of months ago, after the corporate jet fiasco happened with the Big Three heads going to DC and getting berated for not hitch-hiking to get there, they went back and rode the Amtrak. I watched the report on my local Fox affiliate, and when the reporter informed us with glee in his voice that "they'll be taking the train this time," I had a vision of the leaders of the local Soviets reading the dispatches from Ekaterinberg, regaling the crowds of peasants with tales of the Czar's mistreatment. Now this AIG dog & pony show confirms it. We're having V2.0 of the Bolshevik Revolution emerge right before our eyes - complete with people threatening the lives of AIG executive's children and families, and while Joe Six Pack thinks that Obammy & Co. are really sticking it to the man, the entire government, from top to bottom, stinks with a level of corruption previously unheard of. Two predictions -

1) They made quite a show of throwing Geithner under the bus today. He'll be gone by summer.

2) They also made quite a show of trying to throw Bernanke under the same bus, but it didn't stick as well. Obama ousting a FED secretary right now would kill the markets.

Thaddeus McCotter (R-Michigan) has absolutely no sense of how to dress himself. Black vest, salmon-colored pattered tie, and green/white checked shirt? Who let him leave the house with that on?

Barney Frank should just stop talking and go away. Isn't there a gay nudist colony he can be exiled to?

How Many Dead Jews Will $900 Million Buy?

US Offers $900 Million for Gaza, Hamas Aims for Unity with Fatah

I have tried to stop saying the word "unbelieveable" lately, as any rational person must suspend their belief at what is happening in this country. When I heard about this today, I thought it was surely someone's attempt at poor humor. Then I looked it up and muttered "unbelieveable" as I read the article. This is truly un-f*#$ing-believeable. "Oh, none of the money will find its way into Hamas' hands! They're going to use it to re-up on weaponry to kill Jews with 'rebuild.'

Even if we sent $900 million worth of cordless rice steamers and ramen noodles over there, Hamas (warlords!) would undoubtedly intercept them and turn the "aid" back into cash.

Maybe the liberal Jews in the US who have been burned by Hillary and Barack now will pull their heads out of their collective tuchus, and start voting for people who have the interests of Israel in their pogroms programs.

Fitna by Geert Wilders - Back Again!!

I have been having trouble finding this movie, apparently from what I have read, NetSol decided that anyone hosting it on their servers was violating their TOS, but I did end up finding it anyway. Here it is again, the graphic at the beginning and end, of Mohammed with a bomb for a turban have been changed by whoever posted this at break.com, but the rest of the movie remains the same. I watched it again to be sure. I also extracted a copy of it which is safely stored in my archives in the event it disappears from break.com as well. I will host it myself if need be.

Watch and listen. Let he who has eyes see, and he who has ears, hear.

Markets are FORWARD-LOOKING creatures. While the rest of the country's eyes glaze over because the President reads a teleprompter so fluidly, the markets are scared batshit-crazy. The fact that over the last weeks, BERNANKE has been the calming Voice of Reason should be a clue to you. So. The market gets it, what's taking YOU so long to? Oh, all the CHANGE you can choke on is a-comin'. Hope you're prepared...

Robot Rebellion - Coming Soon To A Theater of Combat Near You!

Experts Warn of 'Terminator'-Style Military-Robot Rebellion

From the article:

"Autonomous military robots that will fight future wars must be programmed to live by a strict warrior code, or the world risks untold atrocities at their steely hands.

The stark warning — which includes discussion of a "Terminator"-style scenario in which robots turn on their human masters — is part of a hefty report funded by and prepared for the U.S. Navy's high-tech and secretive Office of Naval Research.

The report, the first serious work of its kind on military robot ethics, envisages a fast-approaching era where robots are smart enough to make battlefield decisions that are at present the preserve of humans..."

The emphasized line in particular made me think of that old SNL Commercial with Sam Waterston - courtesy of Hulu.com

**NOTE: I first embedded the video from Hulu, but they apparently don't allow you to adjust the width, and it's far too wide. Get with the program, Hulu. Your service is great, the commercial rules, but if you want people to spread the word and embed the vids, remember that some of us give a shit about being able to format the size...

Santelli's Call for A New "Tea Party"

Sorry, for some reason, they don't have one that I could find to embed, which is a shame. Hopefully it will turn up on YouTube soon.

Love the following from Santelli's rant:

""I have an idea – you know, the new administration is big on computers and technology," Santelli said sarcastically. "How about this president and new administration, why don't you put up a website to have people vote on the Internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages or would we like to at least buy cars and buy houses in foreclosure and give them to people that might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that could carry the water instead of drink the water."

The Hitler of Iran Can't Build A Nuke...Oh, wait. Yes He Can...

Iran holds enough uranium for bomb

Well, you wanted "change," now here's some for you. Gag on it, East Coast liberals and other gutless guilt-ridden fellow travellers. Why do I say East Coast? Ok, you're right. I suppose an Iranian nuke will make it to the West Coast, too. I don't live on either one, so whatever. Good luck with that nuclear winter.

Oh, wait a minute.

What? They only have enough material for ONE bomb? Well then, never mind, America. Nothing to see here. Now, Israel on the other hand, well, sorry. I know we have backed you for aeons, but it seems as though we've dropped the ball. It was a football. It was a nuclear football that the Tyrant of Tehran has picked up at the 5 yard line, and he's lining his pieces up to blow your asses off. Hey Mossad, hey Shin Bet, I guess it is time you guys stop worrying about American patronage and approval for Israel and act. Now. Before it's Channukah at Ground Zero this year. Oh, and all of those well-intentioned liberal American Jews who couldn't defend themselves from a case of indigestion - maybe it's time to cut them loose, too. After all, Israel will have a hard time being a Jewish state if it's...gone.

How many voices have warned the world for how many years now, that the little man in platform shoes (Savage) was nothing more than a thug and a menace? Oh wait, that's right...nobody gives two shits about dead Jews.

Hey! Here he is! This guy might have a nuke soon!!

Looks Like Allen Stanford "Madoff" With the Goods!

Article here.

Yesterday, the amount of money that they were talking about was in the neighborhood of $8 BILLION. Hell, that's not even 20% of a Madoff. Today, I heard some of the cable news talking heads saying that not only is Allen Stafford apparently "missing," but that it is now thought that his total take will rival that of Bernie Madoff! Prediction: It's going to be a bad, bad year to get into the "I'll take your money and invest it for stupidly high returns with no risk" business.

Just Hang Yourself, Please.

Study takes step toward erasing bad memories

If you are such a pathethic PUTZ that you cannot handle having "bad memories," you pillow-biter, do us all a favor and withdraw your genetic material from consideration by the rest of the pool.

Anyone remember the movie "The Big Kahuna" with Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito? There's a great line in that movie. Danny DeVito's character is talking to the young religious guy that they work with (Peter Facinelli) and they're discussing "character," which Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito have all over their faces in abundance. The young guy doesn't have any on his face yet. He says that he wonders when it will happen and Danny DeVito says:

"I'm saying you've already done plenty of things to regret, you just don't know what they are. It's when you discover them, when you see the folly in something you've done, and you wish that you had it do over, but you know you can't, because it's too late. So you pick that thing up, and carry it with you to remind you that life goes on, the world will spin without you, you really don't matter in the end. Then you will gain character, because honesty will reach out from inside and tattoo itself across your face. "

God knows I have it. But I don't know that I would take a pill to make it go away. What kind of bed wetters are running around everywhere? What kind of people would take something to do this?


LONDON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - A widely available blood pressure pill could one day help people erase bad memories, perhaps treating some anxiety disorders and phobias, according to a Dutch study published on Sunday.

...

Kindt and her team's experiment included 60 men and women who learned to associate pictures of spiders with a mild shock. This experience created a fearful memory, the researchers said.

Other participants saw the same picture but did not receive an electrical shock. For these people this established a "safe" association without a fear response or bad memory.

One day later people given the drug had a greatly decreased fear response compared with people on the placebo when shown the picture and given a mild shock, the researchers said.

"There was no difference to the fear spider and the safe spider," Kindt said. "This shows it is possible to weaken the underlying memory by interfering with it."

The next steps are to look at how long the drug's effects on memory last, and testing the treatment in people who actually are suffering from some kind of disorder or phobia, Kindt said.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) - Link to Yahoo! Finance Dow Chart

Not quite back at our 52-week low of 7392.27, but headed back in that direction. The index took a 297-point shit today, undoubtedly in reaction to Spendacus and his bloated monetary monstrosity today. Just wait. If we get a repeat performance tomorrow, we can set a NEW 52-week low! I'm telling you, it ain't over until we see 6300 and a fat woman singing.

Anyone remember THIS headline? - Stocks Set Records, With Dow Over 6,300 it was from November 15, 1996. A much more realistic number than the inflated BS we have today. Whoever thought 14164 (October 2007) was sustainable was high.

Sprint Mobile Broadband Test -

Tested the Sprint Mobile Broadband capability of my Treo 700wx . I was not surprised by the slower upload speed, but was pleasantly surprised by the download speed. USB connection to the laptop, half antenna strength, very decent indeed!!

Next I checked my WiFi connection on my laptop - here's the results, with Qwest service:

Obviously, a WiFi DSL connection at home is preferable to using my cell phone for data service, but remember - it is a cell phone and not something manufactured for the purpose of delivering the Internet to my laptop. Overall, am very pleased with Sprint. They receive my endorsement, for whatever that's worth...what the hell do I know?

Change!

Don't resist the change. People resist the change rather than embrace the change because there's a shortage of enlightened persons to serve as Ambassadors of Change. Change will happen, from the change we must change to the change we hold dear - make no mistake about it! Let the cry of change be "Change!" - but let us not forget to make that change, lest we forget the change that never changed.

Professor Shits On Christian Student's Viewpoint In An Exemplary Display of Liberal Tolerance & Diversity...Embrace the Change!

Student Sues, Says Prof Called Him a "Fascist Bastard"

A student is suing Los Angeles City College over an incident in which a professor refused to let him finish a speech against gay marriage, according to the LA Times.

Student Jonathan Lopez told the Times that the professor, John Matteson, called him a "fascist bastard" and refused to let him finish his speech during a public speaking class last November, weeks after California voters approved Proposition 8 banning gay marriage.

Lopez also said the teacher threatened to have him expelled when he complained to college authorities.

Lopez is represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal organization based in Scottsdale, Ariz., and co-founded by evangelical leader James Dobson of Focus on the Family. Alliance staff counsel David J. Hacker told The Times Lopez was a victim of religious discrimination.

"He was expressing his faith during an open-ended assignment, but when the professor disagreed with some minor things he mentioned, the professor shut him down," Hacker said.

"Basically, colleges and universities should give Christian students the same rights to free expression as other students."

REMEMBER, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE STUDENT IN QUESTION WERE A MOOOOOZ-LIM!!

Religion of Peace!!

U.S. Muslim TV network founder charged with beheading wife

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The founder of a U.S. Muslim television network has been arrested and charged with murdering his wife by beheading her, the network's Web site and local media reported.

Muzzammil Hassan, founder and CEO of Buffalo, N.Y.-based Bridges TV which launched in 2004 with a mission to show Muslims in a more positive light, was charged after reporting the death of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, 37, on Thursday night.

After Hassan, 44, told police his wife was at the Bridges TV offices, in the village of Orchard Park, they found her body there, beheaded, The Buffalo News reported.

Authorities said Aasiya Hassan, with whom Hassan had two children, had recently filed for divorce and had an order of protection mandating that he leave their home as of February 6.

He was being held in a county detention center charged with second-degree murder.

Amazon Indians accused of cannibalizing farmer

Amazon Indians accused of cannibalizing farmer - I was going to be done for the night with my last post, but this article caught my eye. I just wanted to remind everyone that it is people like these whose "culture" is supposed to be equal to that of Western culture. Yes, the cannibals. If we would only be their friend, they wouldn't be that way...oh, wait...the guy they ate was their friend. Oops.

I'm kind of surprised that they're not suing the farmer's family for violating their rights somehow. From the article: "No arrest warrants were issued. Brazilian law does not allow the military or civil police to enter Indian lands, Portal Amazonia reported." Hey! That's a hell of a way to run a country, Brazil...oh wait, we don't enforce our own borders worth a squat...that's ok...they only come here to work, you know. I should hope that this senseless death makes the Brazilians re-think that "no police on Indian lands" policy...probably not. They're "enlightened," after all.

Re-read Rudyard Kipling's "The Stranger," and let he who hath eyes see, and he who hath ears hear.

My Plan for America -

I complain a lot, and since I have been blogging less frequently, the readership has died down some, as well as the death threats I used to receive on a daily basis. So rather than complain, I thought I would clue you in to my ideal country, "where the women are straight, and the chrome is thick," to quote Dr. Savage. Here is the first draft, written today while sitting in my car in the rain and cold. A work in progress, for sure:

MY PLAN FOR AMERICA:

1) Immediately recall all military personnel from any deployment not directly serving the strategic interests of the United States of America. Bring them all home and put them on the southern border with live rounds and orders to shoot and deploy the rest throughout the southwestern United States to root out illegal aliens. Place a contingent on the northern border of the United States to protect both land borders. Use monies saved from cuts in foreign deployments to further fund the US Coast Guard to protect the eastern and western coasts, with increased patrols.

2) Immediately cease nearly all handouts to foreign countries with the exception of Israel. Give Israel a timetable of five to ten years to become fully self-sufficient.

3) Begin extensive deportation operations to root illegal aliens out of the United States. Allow a period for and the resources to aid in, the voluntary repatriation of illegal foreign nationals to their home countries before making the crime of being in the US illegally punishable by death.

4) Immediately withdraw from the United Nations and ban its presence on United States soil.

5) Invoke a one year period of tax amnesty for all businesses in the United States and individuals, with the elimination of all tax revenue coming into the United States Treasury. Use that year of no taxes to convert our system to a consumption-based taxation method, such as a national sales tax.

6) Consolidate the “books” of the United States to a single set of book whereby the country is operated on. This would necessitate informing of the citizenry what a horrible state we are in financially.

7) Immediately, by executive fiat if necessary, mandate that English become the official language of the United States and make English as a second language classes part of becoming a US citizen, along with a requirement that immigrants maintain attendance until they are proficient.

8) Create an assimilation program for prospective citizens to preserve our culture.

9) Immediately halt any immigration until such above programs are implemented, and place a 30-year freeze on immigrants coming from third-world countries and encourage European immigration to force equity with the criminal immigration policies of the last 30 years.

10) Call a constitutional convention to propose a law that no one can hold the office of the Presidency after having served in the US Senate.

11) Offer proposal encouraging the nation to adopt an amendment that would: a. Require all presidential candidates to prove their citizenship as eligibility to file for candidacy for the office of President, and b. Limit the pool of available presidential candidates to the 50 governors of the states.

12) Demand that congress enact legislation to prohibit the public officials of any border state from holding federal-level positions (i.e. cabinet positions) until the rate of illegal immigration in those states is – ZERO.

More to follow...stay tuned.
