I was born into the Age of Miracles. Our technology is miraculous. Our planet is experiencing miraculous changes, though some might call them disastrous instead. My existence itself is a miracle as I nearly died in infancy from unknown causes that turned me blue and unbreathing. Somehow, though, I survived and grew, and began to have visions, of the future. I kept my visions to myself and waited them out as one by one, they have all come true.

When I was eight years old, I was transported, so to speak, from my home to a US Navy ship. It was no longer day, but night time, and I was standing facing a steel, grey-painted wall with a pattern of large rivets upon it, and I could smell a strong burnt oil smell. Then I was back home again and it was day. I knew then that someday I’d be in the Navy and that was the ship I was to be on.

Years later, I’d long forgotten that episode, and had joined the Navy. After Naval school and all that, I was assigned to a ship in drydock in Philadelphia and went aboard at night. While the duty officer went below to locate my bunk, I stood there in the dark, staring at a grey painted steel wall with a rivet pattern, and smelling a burnt oil smell.

Suddenly I was eight years old and home and it was day. Then suddenly I was back on that ship again. I’d flashed back to that vision.

That was just for example. Perhaps a better one for my purpose in writing this is another that I had, 2 years after being discharged from the Navy. I woke one morning with the feeling that something was wrong. The next morning, too, and succeeding mornings thereafter for nearly three months. By that time the sense of something wrong had grown into a powerful awareness of impending doom. I didn’t know yet just why my life was in danger, but I knew it was and I bought a 4-wheel drive jeep and started stocking it with spare parts and survival supplies.

Then one morning as I slept, I saw myself on another similar destroyer to the one I’d served on. I was on the starboard side looking out over the water and I could see jungly land about 8 miles off. Suddenly there was a bright white flash and I was dead.

Then I started talking in my sleep and said that at 11:30 that next Wednesday morning the postman was coming with my orders for re-induction to military service. I was still in the inactive Navy reserves as part of my enlistment. I woke up hearing those words ringing in my mind, and repeated them again aloud.

Next Wednesday morning at 11:30 there was the postman with those orders from the Navy. I refused to accept delivery, told everyone I was going to Alaska, and then drove to Ohio. I got a job getting paid under the table and waited out my final months of inactive reserve time before going back home, where I was told that men in suits had canvassed the neighborhood looking for me. I hope they had a nice time in Alaska.

Some of my visions were pretty inconsequential, and some have saved my life. I’ve had more visions of the future than I can recall, over the years, and every one has happened. Except one. There is one vision that still has not come about, but I feel it getting near.

This one came when I was seven years old. I remember the moment clearly to this day. I was standing in front of our home, facing it. A friend had just left, I could see him walking away. Then it came to me. I would see the end of the world as we know it.

I didn’t know exactly what that meant then and I don’t know now. All I know for sure is that for all the changes that have come around in the 64 years since I had that vision, none of them yet are what the vision referred to. I know that I’ll live to see it, and at the age of 71 now, I guess it can’t be too far off. Especially since that “impending doom” feeling that I had before is starting to slowly grow again. This time though, while I think it means the end of my existence, it doesn’t worry me.

In the first place, there’s no place to go. There may be safe havens here and there but I don’t know where they are, and the world’s end may not be some sort of climactic disaster anyway. I don’t know. I think I will know before it happens as I’ve always felt too that I would know when my time had come. So why am I giving you this wonderful opportunity to call me a nut case instead of keeping this to myself? Because at my age, why should I care what your opinion is of me, for one, and for two, I think it’s time to say it and be done with it.

If there’s any real message in this or point to this, it would have to be: Get right with yourself now. Get right with those you love. Time really is running out and getting right can be a slow process. So if you care, better get started if you want to get the job done in time.

Blogging is dead, YouTube and MySpace and Twitter have replaced it. 15 minutes of fame has been replaced by 15 seconds of fame, and reading is dying as all we have to do now is click on icons and then watch the brief video.

In fact, we’re going to end up like the ancient Egyptians, with our written language reduced to a bunch of icons. Instant visual recognition, like a stop sign, poison emblem or radiation symbol. Not really, but reading is a decreasing skill, as evidenced by the greatly increasing inability to spell correctly among the general population. Most people can barely spell at all anymore.

So goodbye, adios, to all you few who’ve paid this particular ranter any attention, and thank you for stopping by. It’s all been said now anyway, all the warnings are posted here, all the predictions of your future are here. I did my part to tell the world what was happening to it and why, I handed out the tools. It’s not my job to keep handing out tools or make the needed repairs, I’m too old, too retired, too separated now from the System.

It’s your job. I’m in a pretty safe little out of  the way place for as long as I need to be but you probably aren’t. You have the tools, you know what’s coming because I told you, now fix your future before it rushes up and destroys you first. Or don’t. Matters not to me, I’m just an observer these days.

I’m hanging fire on posting until Obama gives his speech in Cairo. That’s tomorrow and very likely not coincidentally at all on Voting Day in the European Union. I believe that the purpose of this is that the EU elections will divert most of Europes attention, and a good deal of ours, away from the content of his speech.

I also believe that what he’s about to say will be disastrous for Israel and ultimately for most of us on the planet.

If I’m right, you can bet I’ll let you know. Tomorrow.

This post is going to draw a lot of flak, because it’s true instead of being Politically Correct. I was reading the hateful, ugly comments left by dark-skinned immigrants earlier on a British blog, and those left by white people who have been harassed and attacked by these immigrants who are trying to take over neighborhoods and push out the whites, and I was struck by the commonality of this problem that is now being manifested everywhere Western society exists.

Modern civilization is the creation of Caucasians and Orientals. Both races have built strong technologically oriented societies and both manage to work well together, most of the time. Dark colored peoples have fallen behind. There was a time, in ages past, when a few African Negro societies, in Nubia and Egypt, rose to great heights for their times, and Arab Semites did as well, but those days came and went and never returned.

White civilization arose perhaps 6000 years ago and never died out, but simply changed hands over the millennia. From the ancient Assyrians to the present day, Caucasians and Orientals have led the way. Note that Assyrians are a Semitic peoples indigenous to Mesopotamia. They are Mediterranean Caucasoids, and are ethnically distinct from Arabs and Jews.

The Chinese have maintained a continuous state of civilization for about 3500 years and have contributed a great many inventive advances to Western civilization, though it’s been the White people who have led the way from the beginning and still do.

Orientals and Whites have had their wars over time, and mostly it’s been Whites against Whites and Orientals against Orientals, as human populations expanded faster than food producing technology, though often enough the wars were simply greedy attempts at conquest and domination. Blacks were left mostly alone to fight among themselves, which they’ve done for time beyond history rather than stop long enough to build any sort of advanced societies. All that they have now in Africa was built by Whites and most of that was torn back down when the Whites left.

All races have their violent side, violence being a part of humanitys makeup. The difference in our races is the level of acceptance of violence. For Orientals and Whites, violent behavior is held in check, in deference to the societal mores. For Blacks and the mixed-race Arab types, violent behavior is closer to the surface and more acceptable as normal behavior.

This latter is proving to be a great problem for Western civilization. As world population expands, the poverty level of the less technological Black nations has steadily increased, driving an increasing rush to emigrate to Western nations for survival. These people bring their innate violent natures with them, along with their primitive and often antisocial value systems, which clash badly with their host societies. Simply put, they are unprepared and unfit to live in White society, and bring it more harm than good.

This is inevitable. In times past, a nation that was threatened with invasion would go to war and eliminate the threat for a few decades. What’s happening now is a general invasion of all Western White society by all impoverished Black society, and stopping a constant flow of boat after single boat, little group after little group, none of whom are actual combatants but merely people looking for food and shelter, is not possible.

This migration and intermixing of people of different races will continue and probably increase for a good while yet, with a resulting chaotic effect on Western civilization as the various races from various nations find themselves unable to get along with others.

I think the European Union is ultimately doomed to become a union of only a few nations, at best, as most of the nations of Europe are going to be broken up into small warring feifdoms and finally evolve into new, brutal states. New Somalia, New Pakistan, Nation of Islam, Catholica and so on.

I think the United States will eventually cede Texas, California and New Mexico back to Mexico rather than try to clean up the increasingly horrible mess being made by the Mexican invasion. The Wall across the border was never more than a ruse to make it look like something was being done to stop the flow. Why this was allowed to happen is a mystery for another day, though. Right now it’s enough to see where all this is going.

Only China has managed to keep most foreigners out. Their biggest social problem is from Muslims but governmental control and their enormous army should have no trouble with that and their population is already so vast and their government so rigid that no one in their right mind wants to emigrate there. All the population movement is to Western Europe and North America where people have more freedom and human rights.

Eventually, because of this constant unchecked inflow, White civilization must eventually be replaced with Mixed-Race civilization. There have been periods in past history when groups of other races were absorbed into White societies, but nothing like that which is happening now.

Civilization as we know it, race-based civilization, is ending. America was once known as the Great Melting Pot, only it was all White people doing the melting. Now the whole Western world is a great melting pot, and where civilization goes from here is probably down, considering the nature of those causing this change. If racial mixing proceeds slowly enough, civilization should do just fine, but this time the mixing is far more rapid and aggressive, which portends poorly for the West.

Opposite Marriage. Now there’s a new term to make us all proud. Opposite Marriage. Supposed to mean a marriage between a man and a woman.

Opposite. All the WRONG connotations. There is nothing OPPOSITE about NORMAL marriage. Homosexual marriage is OPPOSITE to normal marriage, so let’s do this:

Marriage between two people of the opposite sex = NORMAL
Marriage between two people of the same sex = OPPOSITE

You know, this is like the Right To Life versus the Right To Choose. The Right versus The Left. The anti-abortion crowd didn’t like being called anti-abortionists so they spun a new name for themselves, Pro-Lifers, and a new one for pro-abortionists, calling them Anti-Lifers. So then the Anti-Lifers spun a new name for their view, Right To Choose, and the Pro-Life crowd had to follow suit and call themselves Right To Life.

Marriage isn’t just a religious institution, in fact, while religion did it’s level best to assume the power of being the bestowers of marriage, marriage was originally and has always been a civil institution, for the establishing of a household and the right to bear and raise children. Bastard children weren’t heirs and became subjects of abuse and often criminals because of their lack of established parentage and the protection of a home. Marriage protected society and children, both.

Today, values are not values for their own sake. Today, words are values and by renaming negative aspects of human behavior with positive-sounding words, we accept these negatives into our society. It works both ways, too. For instance, homosexuals call me “homophobic” for speaking out, when the word means “fear of homosexuality”. Homosexuality isn’t frightening, in fact it helps reduce the rate of population increase. It just isn’t mainstream. But anything to paint the truth with a tar brush is acceptable to the Politically Correct, in order to reach their goals.

What are their goals? Homosexuality accepted as a normal part of all society. Marriage, child adoption, spousal privileges, open and public displays of homosexual behavior, all of it. Socialism and total government control of enterprise. Socialized medicine. A social welfare state. Open borders and unlimited immigration. The abolition of religions.

The Right used religion as their shield while the Left used the extremism of the Right as theirs, and the Left is winning handsomely. Politicians in America should know better than to bring their religions into it, when our whole system of government is founded on the basic principle of not just freedom of religion, but freedom FROM religion. Separation of Church and State. When John F. Kennedy was running for President, an issue was made of his being a Catholic. He made one statement, to answer the burning question, which was NO, he would never take direction from the Pope while he was president. He never mentioned his religion again and the furor died down. The Right have been shouting their self-righteousness at us since Bill Clinton became president, and after 16 years of it, it’s no wonder the American public has swung the other way. Anything to get rid of that horde of corrupt liars and their rigid, extremist views.

Now we have a new horde of corrupt liars with rigid, extremist views, only the new one has Politically Correct on their side instead of God.

If you take a big, long pendulum and give it a push, it will swing back and forth. Give it a little push each time it comes back to you and it will swing wider and wider as you keep giving it that little extra push each time. This is what our world is doing and we’re in sync with it. Our weather is oscillating. Our winters are getting colder and wetter and rougher, and our summers are getting hotter and dryer, with the result that our breadbasket lands are losing their ability to be farmed productively.

We humans are oscillating socially in tune with our planets changes, and for us too, the pendulum is swinging wider and wider.

This rant isn’t about reaching a conclusion, only about observation. This is how I see the radical changes going on, on my world. There is ultimately no winning or losing in all this, as the pendulum always swings back the other way eventually. Most of us are riding it, only a few of us take the time to stand off and watch it. I suppose both are equally exciting.

Ever been in a sack race? You put both feet into a gunny sack, pull it up and hang on to it with both hands, then try to be first to hop along the course and cross the finish line, without falling down and bashing your head in the process. Now do this hopping backwards as fast as you can, and you begin to see where we’re all going.

Our language is in reversal and truth is being called Hate Speech:

Lying = Spin doctoring
Terrorist attack = man-caused disaster
Arab Muslim = Asian
Illegal alien = Undocumented immigrant
Bum = Homeless person
Garbageman = Sanitation engineer
Stupid = Learning impaired
Prisoner = Detainee

If you speak out against mass immigration or stand up for your personal or religious values by being against homosexual marriage or gender-neutralizing the English language or refusing to use “politically correct” speech, if you try to protect your culture or way of life from Islamic aggression, if you object to Somalians or Pakistanis taking over your neighborhood and destroying your community, you’re accused of “hate speech”.

Our economy is in reversal. In countries where tariff wars such as Mexico’s are disdained, subsidies are serving the purpose instead. Governments are making up the price difference so their industries can sell goods cheaper, with the result being looming subsidy wars along with tariff wars.

Our climate is radicalizing. The Earth is overheating and the causitive connection to carbon emissions is now established. The ocean is rising rapidly, faster and faster as the ice melts faster and faster. Weather is changing over the entire planet.

But wait! There’s no Sunspots. The surface of the Sun is quiet. Sunspots mean higher energy output, which means a warmer Earth. No Sunspots means a cooling period, a colder Earth. Could it be that our carbon emissions are actually staving off an Ice Age by increasing the Greenhouse Effect? Yes, in fact, it could.

The Sun is also emitting cosmic rays at near record-high levels. Cosmic rays cause mutations in our DNA, creating new diseases like Mexican Swine Flu.

More radical Islamist nations are after nuclear weapons. Pakistan, nuclear nation, is teetering on the brink of a Taleban takeover, and the Fascism of Islam is again spreading out it’s blanket of darkness over the planet, while people like the Saudi’s, who were behind the 9/11 attack, are being called our “friends” and our new president bows deeply to the Saudi king.

Piracy from out of the Barbary Coast is again menacing shipping after a lull of over 200 years, because of the terrible poverty there.

Techology is advancing faster than we can deal with it and our population is expanding faster than we can feed it, at a time when every government seeks to dominate its neighbors through superior technology and there are worsening droughts cutting deeply into our food production, and more competition for a steadily decreasing supply of fish from the ocean.

Species have become extinct by the thousands and more are doomed. The rainforests of our planet are rapidly disappearing, taking thousands more species into extinction with them.

Either I’m getting slower or everything else is happening faster, and I know I’m not alone with the feeling that we’re reaching some sort of peak or culmination, and that it’s not good. Between our misbehavior, the Sun’s strange behavior that was utterly unknown before, and the rapid climatic changes on our planet, the feeling that something momentuous is going to happen is inescapable.

The large migrations of people are due mostly to expanding populations combined with increasing poverty as larger areas of land become worthless for farming, either through drought or soil depletion, or because of war and unrest driving out the population. This is concentrating more people into less space, which is creating rapidly increasing unrest between these immigrants and the indigenous population.

I just have the feeling… that everything is going to come together at the same time, like a meeting of biorhythm cycles, when you hit a physical-emotional-intellectual bottom.

 If nothing else, it sure is interesting to watch.

 Subtitle: Being non-politically “correct” isn’t real popular these days, but someone has to highlight reality and that’s what this blog is for.

 For all of you who’ve sucked up the media push to love homosexuals, adore homosexuals, embrace homosexuals as a welcome part of our society, consider doing this:

Go into some homosexual bar or nightclub that’s the same sex as yourself and observe. That is, when you’re not fending off having your ass grabbed, your crotch handled and being approached for sex by strangers.

Watch how these homosexuals behave toward each other, whether they’re male or female homosexuals. Look at their openly bizarre behavior, their efforts to imitate being the opposite sex in the clothes they wear, the muscles on the lesbians and their mannish mannerisms, with their little girfriends by their sides.

Watch the men flounce around and wave their hands delicately, see their breasts growing from the hormone shots. Look at the muscular ones with the leather and metal all over them. Most of all, pay good close attention to the way they all act, to the way sex is the most important thing in the world to them and how openly they parade themselves sexually.

Now ask yourself if you feel okay about taking off for a weekend and leaving your children in the care of any of these people, who were hired from your local child care service.

Ask yourself if you want any of these people adopting your friends child, or yours, since marriage confers the right of adoption.

Then decide whether the media propaganda is something you should be buying into.

Not all the news is bad news, you just need to look at it the right way. For example, Defense Secretary Robert Gates is doing some dramatic defense spending reductions. While hawks out there might take alarm, this is actually a good thing. Pentagon defense spending is from Mars and has been for decades, a good example being their plans for a $13 billion presidential helicopter. Gates wants to put an end to the Pentagons old procurement practices that have given us items such as $600 hammers and $800 toilet seats. Even Obama, Spendmeister Of The Universe, is against the $13 billion chopper.

The skeleton of a guy who shot himself dead while tied to a tree top 29 years ago was just found. Now that poor tree is finally free of that annoying rattling noise. (Don’t cheer yet, there’s more.)

This will make your heart swell: “WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Americans have grown more optimistic about the economy and the direction of the country since President Barack Obama took office in January, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll on Monday. Two-thirds of respondents said they approved of Obama’s overall job performance.”

That’s even more people than voted for him. No wonder traffic is down here, all my disapproving reports on Obama have no doubt doomed poor Newsbleat, which has got to be good news for 2/3rds of you who still have no grasp of what’s happening to you.

The Wilkins Ice Shelf, which almost no one ever heard of, and is about the size of Jamaica, may soon float away from Antarctica and melt into oblivion. This is good news for global warming proponents, as the Antarctic ice sheet acts as Earths air conditioner, keeping temperatures stable by cooling warm water, which cools warm air. The surface area of Antarctica is rapidly shrinking, much faster than projected, ensuring that Earth will warm up more, faster. Buy your semi-tropical Canadian land now before the rush drives prices up.

In more good news, Vermont has just passed a homosexual marriage bill over the governors veto. Now four eastern states support legal unions of two people of the same sex. This is about right, though perhaps one or two more small states should join in, so there will be sure to be enough room for all the queers to flock to those states, which they will, and maybe give poor San Francisco a break. I’m all for the queers having their own states. In fact, those states should be allowed to secede from the Union and become a separate nation. Then we could bomb them, or at least pass laws making those marriages legal only in those states, so they’d stay there.

“Italy quake exposes poor building standards”. With a death toll topping 200 now, certainly that’s a small price to pay for finding out your town has poor building standards. It’s good to know that, isn’t it. Now as soon as all the bodies are cleared out, they can build to better standards. How wonderful. Good news. Makes ya proud.

There’s lots more wonderful stuff to talk about but that’s about all the good news I can stand for one day. Keep smiling.

The news media are all agush over the heroes welcome Obama is getting in Europe, as he goes from court to court, EU meeting to G20 summit to an audience with the queen of England. As Google News puts it: “Stop after stop, crowds are thronging, leaders gushing, headlines blaring. Even a roomful of foreign reporters applauded after President Barack Obama’s London news conference.”

Well, yeah. Of course. This guy is handing out enormous sums of money, not just to American interests and businesses but also to European interests and businesses. You damn right they’re cheering him. I’d cheer him too if he handed me a billion bucks or so. Hey, I’d even settle for a few million.

Our European allies with the sole exception of England have always been fair weather friends, and nothing is different now. As long as America gives them money, they love us. But when we cut off the flow of dollars, suddenly they spit on us. Suddenly America is pariah.

Wait until the money runs out, or when our dollar collapses from inflation, or we look like we’re a has-been nation. That’s the time to count our friends, not now when we’re pouring cash into collapsing foreign economies.

In the 1930s, economic desperation helped fuel autocratic regimes and protectionism in a downward economic-security death spiral that engulfed the world in conflict. Deep global recessions promote development of militaristic regimes large and small, as people cede more power to their governments to reverse their bad fortune. This is now happening in China just as it did in Japan.

Recently the Chinese harassed one of our unarmed ships in the South China Sea, severely enough that now all survey ships are accompanied by two Destroyers.

Also recently, the Chinese have become louder about their unwarranted claims over the area of the ocean known as the China Sea. They want the whole thing in spite of other nations having legitimate territorial claims. This was their excuse for harassing our ship, demanding a US Navy vessel leave “their” waters. The answer is no, by the way.

China has been building up missile launchers on the coast opposite Taiwan island in contradiction to their increasing “friendliness” of late.

China is calling for the dollar to be replaced with a “global” currency in international trade.

China expressed extreme outrage over the Pentagons latest review of their expanding military threat.

China is expected to demand a much greater share of voting rights at the next International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the next G-20 summit on April 2nd.

During the latest repression of Tibetans and round of outrageous lies in regard to it, China has blocked YouTube from Chinese Internet access.

China has also blocked Obama’s State of the Union speech! You won’t find this in any Google search. I spotted the link but when I tried to access it, the page was already deleted. In fact, you can’t even Google up any reference to his speech and China. None. The current band of thugs running that immense nation don’t want their people to hear one single word of what Obama has to say, primarily because he’s in contradiction to all the propaganda the people are being pumped up with.

The Chinese people are losing faith with their government, as tens of thousands of factories have closed, unemployment is still soaring and millions of unemployed workers have gone back to their villages and millions more are on the way. At least 20 million workers have gone unemployed from China’s eastern coast alone, which is also the area that produces much of China’s exports.

The reaction of China’s leaders to this erosion of support has been to increase controls in every possible avenue, including militarily.

China’s leaders blame the United States for the recession. Their thinking is that they are doing everything right and it’s our fault that we’ve entered a recession. The fact that greed on both sides is what brought this about doesn’t enter their minds, apparently. What does is that we’re spoiling their expansionist timetable.

This is very clear, since they’ve decided to go ahead with that timetable anyway, on the premise that economic parity still exists between us plus the added incentive of gaining greater control.

Here’s what China may do:
Use every possible tactic to undermine the dollar by getting it replaced with a global currency. The idea is to weaken the United States economically. China expects to recover faster from this depression than we will and will then have the advantage.

Start forcing the ships ouf other nations, including ours, out of the China Sea. That could get ugly.

Do a forced conquest of Taiwan.

Hold vital exports for ransom, demanding concessions from us before shipping things we need that we no longer manufacture.
Increase export tariffs on vital exports.
Place import tariffs on our products that we need to sell more than they need to buy. Don’t forget that China will happily let its people starve to achieve political goals.

China has clearly decided that the US is an unreliable economic partner and will try to gain every possible advantage now including weakening the US in any way possible. China is a Communist dictatorship that wants what every 16 year old boy wants: to rule the world.

Dictatorships just never grow up.

Some of you have fallen into the credit card trap and maxxed out at least one card, and just paying the interest on that card now is a major part of your budget. This happened because you spent more than you earned and borrowed to make up the difference. Each year, you kept on, until you were barely able to feed yourself after paying your credit card bill each month, and the interest was jacked up so high that hardly anything is left over after the card payment.

Or maybe you bought a house that you could just barely afford and then had to take a lower paying job? Now you have a 30 year debt that’s become unbearable.

The Budget Deficit is the difference between what our government fools make in revenues and what they spend, and they borrow the difference and do this every year without ever paying back any of the loans. What they pay back is interest on the loans until the bonds expire at the end of 30 years. Just like your house mortgage.

Bonds sold 30 years ago have to be paid off now. This is part of the governments operating cost. After 30 years, the dollar has dropped in value to about a dime, so the bonds are paid off with cheap money and not much of it in todays terms. Where the bondholders make out is in all that interest they get over 30 years.

The primary reason for inflation is the printing of money to pay debts.

Todays news is that The Budget shortfall, or Deficit, is nearly $1.7 trillion so far this year, more than $400 billion larger than was forecast two months ago, and no doubt is still growing. That’s just the debt for this year so far, it doesn’t count the over 10 $trillion$ from the 8 years of Bush. Last year the interest on the National Debt was $412 BILLION. Compare that to NASA at $15 Billion, Education at $61 Billion, and Department of Transportation at $56 Billion. — As of 28 February 2009, the total interest spent so far this fiscal year is $148 Billion.

The interest expense paid on the National Debt is the third largest expense in the federal budget. The US has been borrowing to keep going since 1966, and as the borrowing has continued, the amount of interest to be paid has grown. Bankruptcy happens when you borrow so much that all your income goes for interest payments.

When the Federal Reserve “buys” Treasury bonds, what they’re doing is printing the amount of money equivalent to the amount of bonds they wish to “buy”, which in this latest case is $1.2 trillion. Essentially it just means that they’re giving Obama and Pelosi a free bundle of cash that they don’t have to borrow from the Chinese.

I said awhile back that the Chinese might not want any more of our Treasury bonds and that the little dust-up in the China Sea was a way of saying that. I think the deal is that they want a say in the level of our government spending and money printing and we said “No thanks”. So since the Chinese are making us any more loans, we’re just printing it up instead.

The value of the dollar is dropping as I type and the price of gold and other “refuge” commodities is rising as investors trade in their dollars. What’s happening is this:

Trade wars have begun, between us and Europe and Mexico. Likewise other nations are having their own tariff battles. Many good will become too expensive or unobtainable.

Unemployment will continue to rise. Your dollars will buy less, and less, and less, yet your wages will not rise because jobs will be so scarce. You’ll just have to tighten your belts and do your best to get by.

The Mortgage Crisis is just getting on a roll. The deepening depression will force many more people out of their homes or the banks to grant a moratorium on payments. Propery values will continue to drop.

More servicemen are reenlisting now than since the last depression. It’s a job. They’ll need a war to justify their jobs, and they’ll have one. If we don’t go to it, it will come to us.

Here’s the theme song, for the Obama presidency, and for YOU: Bing Crosby, “Brother, can you spare a dime”

“In May the Pope goes to the Holy Land, partly to repair the damage done to Jewish-Christian relations by the Holocaust denial episode.”

Partly? What else is the Holy Gaffe-man going to fix?

“Unless the Vatican gets a grip on its PR operation, stepping into the minefield of Arab-Israeli relations could set off explosive “mishaps” with consequences not only for relations between the three great monotheistic faiths but the wider Middle East.”

The Pope is in Africa right now, telling the natives to stop using condoms which prevent the spread of AIDS, a Papal dictum which has pretty much all of Europe in an uproar of condemnation…. or would that be condom nation?

This is the same Pope who took a rabid Holocaust denier bishop back into the Vatican fold, enraging Jews to the point that they cut off all communication with the Vatican and forcing the Pope to force the bishop to deny his denial. Orkk, whatta mess. Also the same Pope who recited in a speech the words of a 14th-Century Christian emperor who said Muhammad had brought the world only “evil and inhuman” things. While this is true, it sure upset a lot of Muslims.

Now he’s going to the Holy Land and fix things all up nice and tidy for the Jews and Muslims. Man, this should be fun to watch.

Focus on the AIG bonus scandal. Focus only on the AIG bonus scandal. Do not take your eyes off the AIG bonus scandal. Focus. Foooocussssss….

Do not look at Obama, focus only on the bonus scandal. Your eyes are getting tired, you are getting sleepy, you can only focus on the AIG bonus scandal. Sleep. Sleeeeeep….

You hear only the sound of my voice. You will not look at what Obama is doing. You will believe every word he says. You will only look at what you are told to look at. You are convinced that the bailout scandal is the most important issue in the Universe until we find another one to misdirect you.

When I snap my fingers after I count from 1 to 10….

At the same time that Obama is fear-mongering the American public about our collapsing economy and so justifying his massive spending bills that are plunging us incredibly deeper into debt with foreign nations, he’s telling the Chinese that “There is no safer investment in the world than in the United States.”

This is in response to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who said: “I’d like to — implore the United States… to honour its words, stay a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets.”

China has not yet agreed to purchase the vast $billions$ of additional bonds that Obama needs to sell if he’s to get all that stimulus money without having to print it.

If he has to print it, our inflation rate will go way up and the value of the Dollar will go down. This drop in the dollar is what worries the Chinese. So they have a big problem: To buy or not to buy.

So they threaten our ships in the South China Sea to send two messages: Maintain the value of the dollar; stay out of the South China Sea if you want us to buy more bonds.

Our response is: Back off. You have to buy our bonds to protect the value of your current $1 Triillion in holdings, and by the way, leave our ships alone.

How long will China sit quietly in this trap of being forced to loan back all that profit they’re making from the massive imbalance of trade, before they retaliate in some unexpected manner that’s much worse than just harassing our ships? Dangerous game.

How long can we keep giving all our manufacturing away to China with our unemployment rate now over 10%? Another dangerous game. If we start taking back our manufacturing, Chinas income drops BUT the dollar strengthens and inflation is lessened. Either way, China certainly should be worried, they’re over a barrel.

Pakistan is still unstable, as much because of the militants within the country as because of our involvement. Taliban militants recovered 24 bodies and were searching for more on Friday, hours after suspected U.S. drones destroyed a camp in Pakistan’s northwestern region, militants and officials said.

Four missiles believed to have been fired by at least two pilotless U.S. drone aircraft on Thursday evening hit a militant hideout and training camp in the Kurram tribal region on the Afghan border.

These missile strikes by us are extremely unpopular with the Pakistani people, just as we’d be plenty angry if the Canadians or Mexicans were doing that here to get rid of some militant faction on our soil. This unhappiness with the U.S. is helping destabilize the Pakistan government, which is pro-U.S..

Those being targeted are the Taliban, who are themselves working to destabilize the Pakistan government. If we sit back and do nothing, the Taliban will take over Pakistan, because the current government has proven itself ineffectual in dealing with them and which can’t be allowed as Pakistan has nukes. Moreover, the Taliban will take over Afghanistan again. This latter is only important because we’ve needed Afghanistan as a base to push the Taliban back from to keep them from taking over Pakistan. Keep your eye on the nuclear ball here, Pakistan is all that matters, Afghanistan is an armpit.

So now we’re over our own barrel. We can’t back off from invading Pakistan any longer. Not siince they gave the Swat Valley to the Taliban. There’s not going to be a miracle that gets rid of all the corruption that, like Mexico, pervades everything and prevents the Pakistan army from wiping out the Taliban just as the Mexican army will never win out over the drug lords. Our nation is already headed towards bankruptcy and we can’t keep fighting endless wars all over the planet that drain us of all our resources. This isn’t just a dangerous game, it’s ultimately a losing one.

Yet we’re preparing to engage in war with these same Mexican drug lords along our own border with Mexico, and we’re starting to send in troops. We have, in this country, at least 30 million illegal aliens and more likely there’s 40 million, and most of them are Mexicans and many of them are hostiles connected to the drug trade. They will attack us from within. If we send troops to our borders, and we in fact are, a war will erupt along those borders that our troops will be unprepared for. If we don’t send troops, the foreign invasion, killings and rapes and destruction will escalate. Either way, this is going to get worse and it was allowed to happen by not enforcing our borders for the sake of cheap labor.
Cheap labor is a dangerous game.

Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman said that “Between 40 and 45 percent of the world’s wealth has been destroyed in little less than a year and a half,” Schwarzman told an audience at the Japan Society. “This is absolutely unprecedented in our lifetime” and it’s all because of greed.

Probably so, but the real story is what this global financial collapse is doing to the poorest nations on Earth. During the rise in the global economy, everyones income increased, the poor ate better and lived better and had more children. Now they’re making less and eating less and global starvation is a certainty that no one wants to talk about. Starvation brings a friend along, called Disease, and with the ease which people move around the planet now, Disease will move with them. It won’t be just the poor who get sick. It will be all of us.

Greed may prove to be the most dangerous game of them all.

Our politically correct lawmakers both here and abroad in the UK had no trouble passing special laws against “hate” crimes, criminal acts, usually violent in nature, inspired by hatred or bigotry.

So why haven’t they made overt acts of terrorism, including financial support of terrorism and advocating terrorist acts, punishable by death?

That’s what terrorism is for, killing and maiming people in order to subjugate them through terror. What could be more deserving of the death sentence than that?

If we can make acting out of hate a felony with long prison terms, then surely being a terrorist or promoting terrorism is far worse. Terrorists consider their lives forfeit from the start and we should agree with that. Give them their martyrhood and be quick about it.

I copied this comment off another blogs posting, it deserves its own posting for its hard-hitting honesty.

Hello everyone.

I live in Playa del Carmen since the last two year.

Sometimes i have to drive to the ugly dangerous area of town too look for car repair mechanics.

Usually i see foreigners in those areas walking, and when im not in the rush i quickly stop and advise to the tha they must go back to the touristic zone.

For example if you walk into the COLOSIO neighborhood in Playa and you dont belog there , you will be assaulted. Mexicans americans canadians nobody is safe in that area ( EVEN WE MEXICANS ARE AFRAID TO GO THERE ) we never go in the night , dfeinitively never alone or by foot.

Again i see beautifull young Peaople from other countris love to go there there is nothing there but drug trade.

I seen incredible beautifull youg girls walk into the jungle whit mayan indians or indians from other parts of mexico.

In Oaxaca and Chiapas , Indian woman are treated like in the Raghead countries. The no have ritgh even to speak to the men unless spoken to under penalty of death , no righ to vote , indian men routinely kill people in the comunities , they are like your indian nations , no spanish spoken. No law no order, no phone taxi, bus. very isolated, you can do as you please, nothing will happen to you.

Actually the best way to get away with murder is , bring the one you want to kill to mexico, Kill the person here, return to US. I promiese you will never get caugth, even if you are sloppy .

Mexican law is so out dated and deeply corrupted that 99 % of all crimes are never solved.

from the 1% solved only 1% is actually caught.

from the 1% that is actually bcaught only 1% gets sentence.

So the mind state in mexico is that you can do ANY crime and the probability to get caught is almos zero, even if you are sloppy.

Do not leave the turistic areas .

Do not walk drunk in the streets at night.

Do not carry expensive watches jewelry.

Always carry a digital camera, all Mexican polices will run if you take their pictures.

Always carry a celluler phone, if you attempt a call securities and guards will run or stop.

remeber all security guard make 5 dolar per day.

Take care .use common sense.
