That is merely the mouth of the rabbit-hole...continue on down as far as you wish - or have the stomach for.

if...

...you can read this & NOT get pissed, you must be a banker!

Oh...

...you've got to read this!

my hope...

...is that our present era of McCarthyism is merely an expedient of the politicians to solidify their positions of incompetence & ineptitude...their demagoguery an extension of that.

my fear...
...is that it is not.

The Political Prism:

"[Attorney General] Eric Holder's move to try the 9/11 masterminds in Manhattan makes it official: This administration has reverted to pre-9/11 'crime' fighting. Amid all the talk during the attorney general's surreal press conference of the 'crime' committed eight years ago, the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon wasn't even mentioned. Lest anyone forget, the military headquarters of the United States was attacked that day along with the Twin Towers. An entire wedge of the Ring was gutted when the Saudi hijackers slammed American Airlines Flight 77 into it. Nearly 200 military personnel were killed, along with the passengers and crew of the hijacked jet. The jet was a weapon used to attack the very center of our military. That was not a 'crime,' as some say. It was an act of war. And 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, along with the four other al-Qa'ida terrorist co-conspirators Holder wants to try, are no mere criminals. They are enemy combatants -- and should be treated as such. ... Holder clucked that the 'trials will be open to the public and the world.' And they will turn into circuses, playing right into the hands of the enemy. These trials will drag on for years, perhaps even decades, as defense lawyers file endless motions and appeals. Meanwhile, valuable intelligence about interrogation techniques and other methods we've used against al-Qa'ida will be revealed to the enemy during trial discovery. This move to a civilian court makes no sense at all, except viewed through a political prism. ... It will only remind people how much America has shrunk in the last nine months."

you stupid...

...fucking people! This is what you get when you believe that anything's free.

Listen up...

...fools!
The bottom line is: we-are-broke.
What don't you get about that?
The US of A is flat, on-its-ass, broke.

Here is part of an email discussion between me & a friend:

-----

(a friend) . . . Where am I in the USA or Ethiopia?

(me)*** we're broke - no one wants to own up to it - but this country is BROKE. I told you years ago - when they changed the bankruptcy laws, that that was the canary in the mine, tho they'd been planning on stealing the country blind for the past 45 years. Ike warned us in the late '50's - that this was going to happen. Now it has. China won't buy our treasury bonds any longer (read: they won't lend us any more money). Couple of months ago our Treasury Sec. (Goldman-Sachs butt-boy Geithner) went to Beijing & told a college seminar that their money was safe in the US...he was laughed - literally - off the stage. No one wants the Dollar any longer. China's using the dollars it has to buy up Africa, lots of Canada & anything that's not nailed down here in the US - all w/ our own money.

-India just bought 200 metric tons - yes, tons - of gold w/ the dollars (our dollars - don't lose sight of that one simple fact) it has accumulated a few days ago. It bought it at the ridiculous price of $1045 / troy! Insane! ...but it doesn't matter. They bought it w/ our own dollars which, in a very short time, will be worth nothing on the international market! It - India - no longer wants our "paper" & has changed it into real property. The whole world is laughing at us & we, here, in the US are in denial.

-Now, if Saudi Arabia turns its back on us & switches from the Petro-Dollar to the Petro-Euro, we are screwed to the wall. It'll cost $10 for gas, $5 for a loaf of bread - if we're lucky! ...I just re-read that & it is way too conservative.

-Here I go again: Prediction Time - somewhere within the next 5 years ( & probably much sooner, unless something magical happens & it might) there will be civil unrest the likes of which will make it seem like April 12, 1861 again. People are going to become desperate. Take their houses, cars, take everything & that'll piss'em off, but when people simply can't afford to eat (Homage: TT), the shit will definitely be in the wind. Remember what I told you. Remember.

This...

...is so beyond anything even my cynical mind could conjure. People made fun of me when I first brought this up last week. Well "people" here ya' go:

&...

...the Bronx Bombers in 6.
Congratulations to me!!!

So this is where you have been.

Take heed hacks...

What did the "off" year elections say? Maybe nothing; maybe everything. Of the three big races (2 Governor - VA & NJ - & a NY Mayoral race) only Bloomberg was re-elected - & he spent $100M of his own money (which works out to over $1,000 / vote!). That NJ-anti-gun-Goldman-Sachs-butt-boy Corzine - whom Obama made 4 trips to the state to endorse - lost to the first Republican to win state wide in 12 years!

Listen up you crooked-hacks in DC: the "mob," you so obviously disdain, is beginning to stir. Coupled w/ the "pink slip" messages inundating your offices, can you see your ass is in peril? You might actually have to go & work for a living! Whoa!!!

...huh?

...please explain this (NY Times Nov.2, 2009) to me:

"...at the same time, unemployment is still rising...the Obama administration says 650,000 jobs have been created or saved by the stimulus funds."

& the beat goes on...

Ron Paul: Audit Fed 'gutted' in committee.
Bank-connected congressman blamed for undermining bill.

When are the "...People..." going to have enough? There must be something "We the People..." can do. There simply must.
