Bill OReilly, Great Show Man!! I really love it, you are a thinker, and I love thinkers.
OReilly Quoted Obama's speech in part: "we dont have to sacrifice our values to protect ourselves".
OReilly said he needed to chew on that for 24 hours. OReilly sees the value of harsh interrogation where massive potential murder is in play, and rightly so, I agree completely.
But OReilly did not go for the throat re OBAMA's naive assertion. Just recall that REPUBLICAN President Lincoln became the emulated front man for the Obama DC fly in. Yet, Lincoln did not emancipate the slaves because of slavery itself, the inherent evil of it, as he often said, he would save the Union if he could without freeing a single slave. Lincoln only emancipated slaves in enemy held rebel territory as a WAR MEASURE to perfect saving the Union, as he was NOT THE GREAT EMANCIPATOR, though he is remembered for it, but was rather responsible for saving the Union, which is not what he is most remembered for.
To drive this point home, for Mr. OReilly, because he misses the boat, citizens of the US were routinely thrown in jail, without hearing, without trial, indefinitely, without writ of Habeous Corpus rights by Sec of War Staton with Lincoln's full approval. Lincoln sacraficed values for the good of the nation, at war time. If OReilly was OREILLY ON-IT, he would have pointed out the inherent farcical nature of Obama's DC Fly in and hugging of the Lincoln memorial.
But who really cares about history, most of Obama's followers enjoy conveniently rewriting it.

The Historical Context.
In 1862, things were not going well for the Union Cause. In May 62, Stonewall Jackson defeated three superior union armies in the Shenandoah, under Banks, Fremont, and Sigal (of Burnside), in superb strategical and tactical fashion. In June 62, Bobby Lee pushed back McClellan's superior 110K army away from the gates of Richmond made only to be then sidelined and made irrelevant on the James River. In the New Mexico Territory Sibly had advanced on and captured Sante Fe and Albuquerque. Loring in West Virginia marched on and captured Charleston WV, while a cavalry raids reach and crossed the Ohio River. In northern Mississippi Bragg gave Halleck the slip, and in excellent logistics, moved his army to Chattanooga, and Bragg's army then march through middle TN with a victory Mudfordville, and into KY threatening Louisville and Cincinnati. Kirby Smith recaptured Cumberland Gap, defeated Bull Nelson at Richmond KY, and recaptured Frankfurt and Lexington KY. Bobby Lee turned his famed Army of Northern Virginia north and in grand strategic style and excellent tactics smashed Pope at 2nd Bull Run, and Bobbly Lee was at the gates of Washington DC reaching Chantilly and Falls Church VA and then set his eyes on Hagerstown in his Maryland invasion eyeing Philadelphia and Baltimore, as they sang My-Maryland My-Maryland. Van Dorn and Price made strikes at Iuka and Corinth MS while Grant's Army was being divided up in a desparate attempt to stop the confederate army two prong TN advance by Van Dorn-Price and Bragg-K.Smith, with Buell withdrawing from Nashville TN, rapidly toward the Ohio to try to save Louisville KY.
The Summer and Early Fall of 1862 was a dark time for the Union cause mostly because of Lincoln's inept hands-on generalship of the Union Forces. (The senator's Biden great-great grandfather was blame-gaming Lincoln the whole time, while Reid's great-great grandfather of the democratic copperheads said the war was lost with rising dissention in the northern press that in the tank for the democrats, defaming Lincoln as the original gorilla, stating often, the cause of was lost, -just kidding about Biden-Reid!). England was considering joining France in recognizing the South, but waited for the outcome of Bobby Lee's and McClellan's battle at Antietam. To put it mildly, the North had it's back up against the wall, with the Jacobean wing of the Republican party up in arms demanding freeing of the slaves, which Lincoln would not do. Lincoln would not do it, less 50K northern rifles would be thrown down in disgust in MO and KY, then loyal union slave states. Lincoln wrote his famous emancipation declaration, which only freed slaves in enemy held territory, to help deny the southerners of their slave labor, but which in practical reality, had little or no affect. Hence, slaves in MO, KY, TN, DE, WV, and MD were not freed by Lincoln thereunder, and slaves in the rebel held south remained in bondage. Lincoln did not free any slaves whatsoever when issuing the emancipation declaration. Lincoln shocked the cabinet with his war measure proposal. Sec. of War Staton, I believe, said that if you Lincoln release it, it would sound like the last gasp of the dying nation, and Lincoln held off issuing the emancipation declaration. When Bobby Lee finally strategically withdrew from MD after his tactical defensive victory at Antietam, only then, did Lincoln dare issue his war measure. Lincoln's emancipation declaration freed no slaves, and, merely placated the rebellious Jacobeans for political reasons. Lincoln was a political animal, but as general in chief, an absolute failure, and issued the emancipation declaration, in desparation, as a war measure for political purposes, and freed no slaves.
Lincoln was not the great emancipator for which he is known, and is not generally known for saving the union, which he did, when he finally put GENERAL BETRAYUS in charge (Grant).

Bill OReilly, And what this missive really does, is draw parallels between Bush and Lincoln. Both won a war, and taking down Saddam in only 3 weeks was a great FIRST MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Both eventually liberated millions, and were both were habitually defamed by the screeching democrats, THE WAR IS LOST!!!! Bush is a true American hero, and will eventually become to be known as one, in time, just like Lincoln. Had Bush been asassinated like Lincoln, Obama may have been hugging the BUSH memorial in stead.
Bill OReilly,
Obama needs a history lession and quick. General BETRAYUS understood the dispersive strongholds in defeating an insurgency during a surge to VICTORY, whereas General GRANT THE BUTCHER understood the calculus of attrition of numbers during the VA overland campaign, to VICTORY. Both are honorable men, doing their duty, for GOD and COUNTRY.
The lefties have, IMO, demeaned our honorable generals and my BELOVED PRESIDENT BUSH, unfairly so.
OK OBAMA, bring us all together as one nation!

Hey Bill OReilly, More Analogies
FDR confiscated the people's gold in a financial crisis.
Bush bailed out the bankster and hedge fund mob bosses in a financial crises.
FDR incarcerated war POWs until end of war.
Bush incarcerated islamofascists during time of war.
FDR incarcerated japanese americans without due process of law to protect them and prevent subversion.
Bush used harsh interrogation and alien wire taps to protect against mass murder.
FDR won a war against fascists and protected the US.
Bush essentially won a war on terror and protected the US.
Lincoln was an inept commander in chief until he put his generals Grant in charge.
Bush the same by not putting in initially enough troops, until he surged with Petraus in charge.
Lincoln understood the stragetic benefit of striking were soft.
Bush understood the strategic Pakie-Afghan-Iraq-Gulf isolatoin of Iran.
Lincoln violated constitutional rights.
Bush arguably approached constitutional limits.
Yet, FDR and Lincoln are heros, and Bush is slammed in the mainstream media and far left I guess in the end, it all comes down to politics, for political power and gain, not the results, not the noble efforts, not the good faith, but political hatchet jobs for political control.
Now tell me, AINT THIS A GREAT COUNTRY??? YOU BET!!! Everyone gets a say so.
Bush as a bold leader has effectively destroyed the islamofascists command structure leaving Obama the mop up job, and Bush acted in good faith with tangible results on the war on terror and the propagation of democracy about the world, and in the end, in the years to come, will be more kindly viewed as a GREAT PRESIDENT as well.
Obama might just be able to reach Bush's knees in long term legacy, if he can stop nuclear proliferation through containment of Iran, and that means, BLOCKADE of Iran and force IAEA compliance, as well as in NKorea. But I doubt President Obama has the balls.
Lets See, JFK or JC, time will tell.

[side bar: Though the emanicpation declaration was ineffective at the time issued, it was nonetheless understood by americans and particularly the common brit for what it was, the first offical act directed toward freeing the slaves, and though it was issued for political purposes, it nonetheless started the ball rolling for full emancipation, and in that, Lincoln is remembered for freeing the slaves. The people and the common brit understood it for more than what it was and had no clue as to the political purposes creating it, and viewed Lincoln as the great emancipator. Lincoln was a political animal.]

I am a war hawk, and propose something that might seem counter, yet aligned to your way of thinking. We have I think about 30K troops in South Korea, sitting on their butts. These are believed useless as a deterent anyway. North Korea could fire a salvo in an artillery barrage, but that could not be stopped with such troops, ditto any nuclear missles. There is no way NK will launch a military invasion in the south, those famish gooks could not even run 300 yards across the DMZ. So why are our troops in SK, when we have guam to station troops nearby coupled with naval stand off capabilities to punish NK if necessary. Makes no sense to me to have our troops in SK given modern logistical and strike capabilities. I propose putting the heat on Japanese and the South Koreans, and immediately pull out all of our troops there to where they are needed, in Afghanistan, to get in on the kill, of Taliban and Al Queda remenants. Most in the military would rather get in on the fun, than sit with their thumbs up their butts in SK.
Now, approach China, and tell them straight out, pull the switch on power to NK, and force complete denuclearization. Get NK out of the nuclear game, and go after Iran with the naval blockade to force complete IAEA compliance. I already gave you all the tactical/strategic plan to chill Iran, and to solve the palestinian issue. Why? Because I am here to help you, the USA, and make you a HERO like JFK.
So, you now have my Middle East Solution, the North Korean Solution, the Iranian Solution, and coupled with your War on Terror Mop Up in Afghanistan, there is your ticket to immortality as a US Great President. Interested? GIT HER DONE!!!
I am here to help you, I am just that kind of guy.

CAIRO, Egypt – An Internet posting purportedly by al-Qaida in Yemen says the group's No. 2 is a Saudi national who is a former Guantanamo detainee.
The Yemeni group — known as "al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula" — posted the statement this week on a militant Web site that regularly carries al-Qaida messages.
It says the man returned to his home in Saudi Arabia after his release from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba about a year ago and from there went to Yemen to join the terror group.
The Internet statement identified the man as Said Ali al-Shihri and says his prisoner number at Guantanamo was 372.

Obama's primary #1 job is to protect the US, and if one of these released islamofascists hit the US, Obama will be rail-roaded out of town. He had better go slow with the GITMO shut down. In Iraq, Bush put into place an Iraqi withdrawal plan, that is already underway. Obama for political purposes, appeasing the hard-left, indicates an acceleration to 16 months, rather that 30 months, but you know how slow that will go, so in the end, its political. Obama will basically follow the plan in place. As for GITMO, he must know that some will not have a change of heart, that they remain a serious threat. So, I see this as more GITMO posturing. Just naive hope? May be, but I can not believe he would just let loose a bunch of killers. He cant be that stupid, nor dismantle the intel capabilities that Bush put in place. So, the political play is the soft touch minor adjustments. He is playing with political fire here. If he reduces the intel capabilities and GITMO confinement, and we get hit, they, common americans, will be after his head. Hey this is fun, 4 years of defending Bush's foreign policies and intel capabilities was always touch and go, especially here in the cafe, but now, with Obama in there, its going to be ALL FUN!!!

TASHKENT (Reuters) – Russia welcomes President Barack Obama's decision to review policy in Afghanistan and is ready to cooperate, including on supply routes for NATO forces, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday.
"Let us hope the new U.S. administration will be more successful in the Afghan settlement than its predecessor," Medvedev told a news conference after talks with Uzbek President Islam Karimov.
"We are ready for fully fledged and equal cooperation on security in Afghanistan, including with the United States," he added. "We are ready to work on the most complicated issues ... including the transit of nonmilitary goods."
Cooperation on Afghanistan has been the most successful project uniting NATO and Russia, whose relations froze after Moscow's brief war in Georgia last August.
Before the war, Russia agreed to allow nonmilitary NATO supplies to be delivered to Afghanistan across its territory bypassing Pakistan, where supply convoys face security risks.
NATO and Russia are expected to hold on Monday the first session of their council since the South Ossetia war. Russian officials have made clear the fate of the Afghan transit depends on how relations between Moscow and the alliance develop.
Medvedev's overtures to Obama are part of an effort by the Kremlin to use change in the White House to mend bilateral relations.
Russia, alarmed by a threat from Afghanistan's Taliban rulers to its Central Asian allies, had backed a U.S. drive to topple them in 2001.
But it later became more critical of the U.S.-led operation in Afghanistan saying it had stopped short of stabilizing the country and failed to lessen the threat of Islamic radicalism and drug trafficking.
"The number of radicals is not declining in Afghanistan," Medvedev said. "Poverty continues to produce terrorism."

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea's reclusive leader turned up for talks with a senior Chinese envoy Friday, making his first such appearance in nearly a half year in an apparent bid to show he is fit despite reportedly suffering a stroke last August.
Kim Jong Il met with Communist Party official Wang Jiarui, toasting the representative from North Korea's main ally and saying his regime stands by its commitment to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, state-run media in both countries said.
Wang is believed to be the first high-level outside official to have face-to-face contact with Kim since the North Korean leader fell out of the public eye amid speculation about his health.
Analysts said the meeting — coming just days after President Barack Obama took office — might be a way for Kim to show the new U.S. leader that he is ready for further nuclear negotiations. Kim appeared thinner but otherwise healthy in photos of the meeting in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
"The meeting appears to be aimed at telling Obama that Kim has no problem with his health and is well enough to meet with Obama's envoy," said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Dongguk University.
Kim told Wang that Pyongyang is "dedicated to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and hoped to peacefully coexist with all sides and would not like to see tension in the peninsula," China's official Xinhua news agency said.

yeah yeah, 24 hours after my memo is sent out,

President Obama 'orders Pakistan drone attacks'
Missiles fired from suspected US drones killed at least 15 people inside Pakistan today, the first such strikes since Barack Obama became president and a clear sign that the controversial military policy begun by George W Bush has not changed.
Security officials said the strikes, which saw up to five missiles slam into houses in separate villages, killed seven "foreigners" - a term that usually means al-Qaeda - but locals also said that three children lost their lives.
Dozens of similar strikes since August on northwest Pakistan, a hotbed of Taleban and al-Qaeda militancy, have sparked angry government criticism of the US, which is targeting the area with missiles launched from unmanned CIA aircraft controlled from operation rooms inside the US.
The operations were stepped up last year after frustration inside the Bush administration over a perceived failure by Islamabad to stem the flow of Taleban and al-Qaeda fighters from the tribal regions into Afghanistan. Mr Obama has made Afghanistan his top foreign policy priority and said during his presidential campaign that he would consider military action inside Pakistan if the government there was unable or unwilling to take on the militants.
=========
This is great, despite all those pacifists,
OBAMA will "just give war a chance"!!
Anyone recall my memo to OBAMA, "a fleet of predator drones with our boys with joys sticks in pup tents in west pakieland"?

Well here's the actual language sent to OBAMA 2 days before the inagural.
"Taliban and Al Quaida and W.Pakieland, can be handled by some more troops guarding the border (OBAMA is on it with 30K more), and deployment of a large fleet of night vision precision predator drones, and just go hunting, at nights, with a joy stick back in the pup tents safe, thats kind of like in the TERMINATOR, and slowly take em out one by one, as Osama, hiding in cave rages JIHAD, until they quit, and that sucker is taken out."
mere coincidence, you make the call.

The W word games in American Politics
Hannity, of Hannity's America.
I like your show, that OREILLY-HANNITY 1-2 punch is dynamite.
But, if you get your voice any louder, the Hannity's screech show just might out do OREILLY's shout show. When you are on a roll, I can not even tell when the higher volume commercials are on. (LOL!!!)
Hey, you have a valid point that the President press secretary will not refer to the War on Terror as the War on Terror. Yeah, I know, them lefties have that fag speech impediment, they can not say the W words, (War on terror, gW bush, etc.) And you and I know exactly what it is. Its political posturing and appeasing the political base. Pacifists are HEAR no evil, see no evil, say no evil types, nothing new there. But who really cares what the politicians call it, or the games the political hacks make of it, for TV ratings, on Hannity's America or The OReilly Factor. I don’t care what they call it, nor how they posture themselves for political gain. I am interested in results. In his first week of office, Obama struck Taleban and AlQueda in Pakieland. Obama is a killer, by deed just proven. Cant you give him at least that? I am looking for results, not the proper parlance nor the imagery of politicians or their political hacks. I want these terrorists defeated, no matter what you want to call it, or how it is sold to the people on TV for ratings. So, you call it the war on terror, and give Obama credit for pounding the bad guys, that is fine with me. Whether Obama wants to give any credit to GW Bush, he nonetheless should follow the Bush Doctrine, and go after Taleban and AlQueda in W.Pakieland with impunity, as it appears he will now do. Pakieland harbors Taleban and AlQueda in W.Pakieland striking Afghanistan while Kasmir and E.Pakieland extremists go after the Indians. Pakieland through, its inaction or ineffectiveness, to control terrorists in their own country have forfeited rights to territorial sovereignty, and hence, Obama should help them out all he can, because Obama is just that kind of guy. I don’t think he will call it the Bush Doctrine, but if he was smart he would play that card for political purposes and secure right support in so doing. I know the left views the war on terror as a penal criminal police action, rather than a WAR, but both use military to perfect the same, and defeat the bad guys from doing their terror. Funny aint it, its all words, but the methods and desired results are by and large nearly the same. In the end, its all politics of course.
And so, I would now ask you to do me a favor, if you would be so kind. Please call up your bestest buddy and pal, President Obama, and ask him to use some of that 1T$ stimulus package to finish the southern border fence, to put people to work on it, the people will support that, and put in play more border agents on there, increasing employment, and suggest a few predator drones as well, to take out the invading hoards, before he registers all those illegal criminal aliens with generous work visas, per the OREILLY plan, which is a very good plan. Obama can play the slippery politician game with the parlance, be the panderer of the Mexican vote, and get the left jumping in support of generous work visas, but we should, in the end, want results to problems. In putting up the fence, Obama appeals to left and right, and that is a huge winner. By going with the OREILLY plan, Obama appeals to left and right. It seems like a winner for all, NO MATTER WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT. So, please give him my check list.
Obama's Check List to an immortal American Presidential legacy
===============================================================
1. Build the Southern border Fence and secure our borders
2. Register Aliens with generous work visas.
3. Pull US troops out of South Korea.
4. Demand China force North Korea to denuke.
5. Pound Taleban and AlQueda in Pakieland using stand off Drones.
6. Do not permanently based troops in Pakieland.
7. Use special forces short-term strikes in Pakieland as needed.
8. Build up Forces within Afghanistan and defeat insurgents.
9. Let the Generals in Afghanistan call the shots on tactics.
10. Slow drawn down in Iraq shifting forces to Afghanistan.
11. Encourage Russian membership in WTO NATO and EU.
12. When out of Iraq and Afghanistan is secure, blockade Iran to enforce full IAEA compliance, and be prepared for the Gulf of Tonken redo, protecting Russian nuke facilities, with the Russians always there, to keep an eye on the Iranians.
13. Lean on Israel to free the W.Bank NOW as the state of Palestine, under ABBAS over FATAH in Ramalah responsible for the safety of Jews and Arabs now situated in the W.Bank.
14. Keep GAZA isolated until they renounce terror, accept Israel's right to exist, without repatriation into Israel and without war reparations, and perhaps later create a separate state of W.Palestine, and maybe in the future Palestine and W.Palestine can be united, though, it would probably be better to keep them segregated countries for the next couple of decades.
===========================================================
I have my financial plan that could eliminate the national debt overnight, and solve all this BS derivative stuff, but I believe it will take another two decades of fiat over spending before that plan will finally be realized as the ultimate solution, so I will not trouble you now with that. But Obama can make many substantial gains, if he follows my game plan, under whatever parlance and posture he choices. Doing these things, Obama can solve the Palestinian issue, win the War on Terror, denuke Iran, denuke North Korea, and protect the homeland from the invading mexican hoards. I don’t care what you or others want to call it, or the parlance used for political purposes. I want results.
And if Obama can deliver, MORE POWER TO HIM.
Can you spell JFK? He is MY PRESIDENT to.

Hot off the press. Remember I proposed freeing the w.bank during the Israeli offensive, mid january, 10 days ago. YOU GETTING THIS!!!
=================
JERUSALEM – President Barack Obama's special envoy to the Middle East will come to Israel Wednesday for talks on keeping alive a fragile Gaza cease-fire and reviving Mideast negotiations, an Israeli foreign ministry official said Saturday.
It is the new administration's first direct move into Mideast peace efforts.
George J. Mitchell will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and senior Israeli officials, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because Washington has not officially announced the trip.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton introduced Mitchell in his new role Thursday. His appointment is seen as signaling a renewed push under the Obama administration for a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Mitchell will also visit Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad at their headquarters in the West Bank, the official said.
The official said Mitchell will discuss restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks after Israel's three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip, and ways to impose an effective arms blockade against the Hamas militants who rule Gaza and have been firing rockets into Israel for years.
==================
OBAMA is on it.
Mere coincidence? YOU MAKE THE FREAKING CALL
Just hold my hand, Obama, I will lead you to the promise land.

Hannity, my apologies for the many emails, but I forgot one other action item for PRESIDENT OBAMA,
15) ORDER PeeLouszy to put a sock in it, re chenny/bush alleged criminality. She is pandering her fag-butt political base in SF area. We all know what exactly she is doing. But it dont help the country.
=======
then next day:
"In the new U.S. administration's first direct foray into peace efforts, President Barack Obama's top Middle East envoy is due in Israel on Wednesday for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the West Bank, an Israeli Foreign Office official said"
The focus is Israeli and ABBAS, and that's the game plan. Hamas is not even considered. Sure they will try to close the border with Egypt to arms, but that is NOT THE FOCUS, merely a bandaid, its FREEING the w.bank that would be the spectacular move.
=======
A low-level delegation from Hamas' rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' West Bank-based government, was also in Cairo for talks, but was not expected to meet with the Hamas envoys.
ABBAS has nothing to say to HAMAS, a good thing, for now.

Pakistan takes over main center of suspect charity
LAHORE, Pakistan – Pakistan formally took control Sunday of the main operational facility of a charity allegedly linked to the Mumbai attacks, underscoring its ongoing effort to ease international pressure over militancy on its soil.
The mostly Muslim nation had already closed or taken over several offices, schools and other properties of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa charity and detained much of its central leadership. On Sunday, a newly appointed government administrator took over the 75-acre compound in the eastern city of Muridke in Punjab province, where the group has conducted and coordinated much of its business.
India says the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba staged the November attacks that killed 164 people in Mumbai. Soon after, the U.N. declared that Jamaat-ud-Dawa — popular with many Pakistanis for its relief work — was a front for Lashkar, prompting Pakistan's crackdown.
Salman Ejaz, a senior official in Punjab province, said all assets and properties of the charity in the province were now under the regional government's control. Most of the assets, offices and operations of the group are in Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province.
"The government has appointed an officer as administrator for all the assets," Ejaz said. "The schools and the hospitals will keep on working as they are."
Ejaz said the administrator and other officials would try to gauge and map out the extent of the charity's operations — especially its bank accounts, which Pakistan has ordered frozen.
Asked why it took so long for the government to take over the Muridke site, officials said it was a complicated task.
After the initial crackdown and assessment of the group's operations, "we are going for total regulation under government control," Punjab Home Secretary Nadeem Hasan said. "All things cannot happen in one go."

And we can ALWAYS count on those EU pricks to screw any chance for peace by placating the terrorists.
This is exactly what we dont want.
BRUSSELS (AFP) – European Union nations called Sunday for divided Palestinian factions to unite so border crossings in the war-torn Gaza Strip can be opened and aid distributed.
EU foreign ministers, at talks in Brussels, also urged Arab nations to use their influence with Hamas, after its 22-day war with Israel in Gaza, and the Fatah faction of president Mahmud Abbas, the bloc's main interlocutor.
"We believe that Palestinian reconciliation behind president Mahmud Abbas is fundamental to progress," said Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg, whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency.
"The humanitarian concerns are naturally a priority but the political process must follow close behind," he said, after chairing EU talks with Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian territories, Turkey and Norway.
"It is the parties themselves who need to genuinely want peace and to be prepared to make the concessions necessary to get there," he told reporters.
=========
Hamas make concessions? Yeah right
=====
Palestinian reconciliation behind president Mahmud Abbas is fundamental to progress,
BUT THE RECONCILIATION is with Israel. These dummies have no clue on how to win a war, fight a war, or obtain peace, through strength, because everything about them is weak minded appeasement.
Israeli war crimes, oh, I bet that sounded great in the streets of GAZA, just keep eggen em on, till another hot war breaks out.. These UN EU dilldo heads have not clue, and are counter-productive, and keep us from peace. I wish they would all, do some gardening or something and leave the heavy work to others willing to be firm.

Israeli war against Hamas scars Gaza's children.

Now hold that HEADLINE in your thoughts, and lets read some of it, JUST FOR KICKS.
JEBALIYA, Gaza Strip – Surrounded by mountains of rubble that were once their homes, two dozen children sat on a rainbow-colored blanket and drew with crayons.
They quickly filled the pages passed around by trauma counselors with pictures of Israeli tanks, dead bodies and Palestinians firing assault rifles — scenes they saw when Israel's war on Hamas came into their neighborhood.
"We felt we will die soon," 11-year-old Sharif Abed Rabbo told the group, describing his family's escape. "And I am sad I lost my house."
Psychologists say Israel's three-week offensive inflicted more severe trauma than previous conflicts in Gaza because civilians in the crowded sliver of territory had no safe place to run. A wartime study among hundreds of Gaza children showed a rise in nightmares, bedwetting and other signs of trauma, said psychologist Fadel Abu Hein.
Counselors and aid workers fear that Gaza's children, who make up 56 percent of the 1.4 million people here, will grow up hating Israel and become easier prey for extremists.
"We are losing the next generation," said John Ging, the top U.N. aid official in Gaza. As a buffer against militancy, U.N. schools are launching human rights classes for their 200,000 students this week.
===================
OK, now lets look at some key words and phrases:
Surrounded by mountains of rubble
drew with crayons
We felt we will die soon
11-year-old
I lost my house
trauma counselors
nightmares
Israel's three-week offensive
Human Rights
200,000 students
losing next generations
=========
OK, you get the picture? OK,
Now back to the headline.
Lets read it a couple of more times:
===================
Israeli war against Hamas scars Gaza's children
Israeli war against Hamas scars Gaza's children.
==========
Ok, you got it, now lets first look at the POOR-ME content, CHILDREN, dont we all feel bad for children? Of course we all do. Hear the comes the TEARS. It is sad, dont you agree? The poor children were caught up in the battle, and it is sad. can we all agree??? OK good. Defenseless children right, They are defenseless little kids, POOR THINGS, right? ok, good
Next, the word SCAR. The kids faces were slit, they were SCARED, and are now MENTAL BASKET CASES. The POOR CHILDREN HAVE BEED BRUTALLIZED and SUFFERED, the DEFENSELESS LITTLE KIDS and been BRUTALLY SCARED. Dang, dont you really really feel bad for them POOR LITTLE DEFENSLESS SCARED FOR LIFE LITTLE CHILDREN? of course you do, anyone would, right? good, we all agree.
Then we have the player Israeli and Hamas, right?
No confusion there right?
Now lets look at the words WAR AGAINST. ok, against implies does it not A FORCE, a MOVING FORCE, APPLYING PRESSURE, right? Right, can we agree.
Now the words "war against" is applied before HAMAS, meaning that IT WAS Israeli who was the NAKED AGRESSOR, the ATTACKER, THE RUTHLESS INVADERS, THE ONES WHO APPLY THE DISPORPORTIONATE FORCE.
So, when you read this headline, what message does it send
Israel, the naked war agreessor, the ruthless invaders, the attackers, who applied the disporportinate force agains the innocent, defensless, poor little, now scared-for-life children of HAMAS.
Is there any suggestion at all that HAMAS fired rockets into Isreal for years? NOPE
Is there any suggestion at all that HAMAS used their children as human shields? NOPE
Is there any suggestion at all that HAMAS provoke the attacks? NOPE
Is there any suggestion at all that Admadinejah funded the rockets and provoked the meat grinder that is GAZA?
When you can read something for the BS propaganda it is, BBC is famous for it, by the way, AP a close second, then you begin to understand why THE EU and UN are full of pricks and jew haters.
The EU is held hostage to Muslim Immigrants.
The International press is in the tank for the Terrorists.
The EU press, eg BBC, has fed the world one string of propaganda BS, with their BIASED reporting.
I am surprised there is a jew left alive in this world.

Wolf Blitzer, CNN and staff,
Good Morning (Vietnam!!! as in Robin Williams in a socialistic hell hole, having a good time). I am here to bring you Mr. Blitzer, and the CNN staff some morning cheer. For the good of the country, I will hold my nose and put CNN on my email list so as to educate you sorry-ass mexican-loving socialists. I am a reactionary hard-right neo-con from beautiful Laguna Beach California, hiding out in my bunker, hunkered down, and locked and loaded. Why a rigthie would live in Liberal Gay-Town, Laguna Beach, you ask? Because the criminal illegal aliens, (commonly referred to as the invading mexican hoard), with their salsa food, spanish language, welfare sucking, armed latino gangs waving the mexican flags ran me out of once was conservative central orange county, as I don’t want to live in that foreign country. So I am here to give you all the real deal, but before I do, you all might want to get medicated, (as rumor has it that CNN stocks all of the restroom medicine cabinets with prozac, because each time a terrorist get killed, the entire CNN staff runs for their daily medication). But before I give you all the real deal, I would like to start off with a fun one, and give you all some fun, before we get down to it. So without further ado, please enjoy.

Razputin: I would like the Iranian Nuclear business, and it took allot of time and hard work to get our reactor qualified there.
Chimpie: Fine with me, your new-go-lord plant produces electricity thereby putting more oil on the market, and it would be good of you to keep an eye on things, but get your folks out of the processing plant, quick.
Razputin: No problem. Our sources say that you were successful in getting the Georgians to move at last.
Chimpie: Yeah, they are brave just needed a kick in pants, and some more toys, and cover, during the grand parade at the bird's nest,
Razputin: Well you know, I will have to go in and spank hard, my boys have trouble with a wet paper bag, and need the practice.

Mr. Bill OReilly,
The situation confronting Obama and his pledged GITMO termination is a very big concern to us all. Obama cant be that stupid to just release those bad guys. But maybe Obama aint that smart to develop a good working plan. So, lets try to help him out, as the loyal opposition.
Hannibal Lecter: What is it, what is it's nature, what does it do?
Clarice Starling: He kills.
Hannibal Lecter: No, that is only incidental, he covets.
What is their nature?
What is their culture?
How can that be used?
While bombs are exploded in Iraq and Afghanistan killing our boys and their children, it is difficult to view them as "freedom" fighters, ala Cindy Sheehand, but from their perspective that is exactly how they view themselves. Hence, such a view, while facially appalling, is nonetheless rational, in their eyes. What are the groups we face? There is AlQueda, Taleban, Bathe Saddamists, Shiite Militias. To the Muslim world, infidels on their soil are viewed as crusaders, and there is a cultural tendency to eject the invaders. We can understand that, and how they would rally in support of each other to defeat the invaders.
There is the Taleban, though considered ruthless and intolerant by our standards, they nonetheless represented a government, with a sizable portion of the population supporting them, likewise the Bath Saddamists. Those Taleban and Saddamist fighters can be considered as rebels and insurgents in a political war for control of their lands. The Shiite militias are also vying for control and for protection from the Saddamists. As Iraq quiets down, and democracy takes root, thanks to Bush's bold action there, the Saddamists and Shiite Militias will more and more toward and join the democratic processes and over time will become more civil. This can be said for the Taleban as well if Obama presses the Afghanistan war as he claims he will, and as he plans to insert 30K additional troops. The Taleban, Saddamists, and Shiites Militia will eventually lay down their arms and join the political processes. As far as Taleban at GITMO, they should be transferred to Afghanistan prisons, and let the Afghanistanis deal with them as them deem fit. Saddamists and Shiite Militia should be sent to Iraq and the Iraqi deal with them as them deem fit.
AlQueda and Pakistani terrorists remain the threat, long term, and must be dealt with severely. As to the Pakistanis, Obama has it right, pound W.Pakieland with areo drones while using troops to secure the borders there. That seems to be the play now in process. In so doing, the Pakistani government will become more forceful to sit on the crazies, and that has just been proven with their recent cooperation shutting down a terrorist charity having members participating in the Mumbei (Bombay for us older guys) strikes. The Pakistani government has and should be encouraged to more forcefully sit on their own crazies, which I think will happen, if Obama keeps up the pressure by pounding W.Pakieland at every opportunity to do so.
But, AlQueda remains THE threat, with no home land, an outlaw cult, that is capable of transnational strikes, and we do not want GITMO releases to reinforce them, as they are the ones who will project transnational terror, and possibly hit us again. As far as AlQueda at GIMO, they could all be release to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis were the ones that started this war on terror with their hot rhetoric, and should take responsibility for it, and take ALL AlQueda detainees.
The Saudis came out in 2004 with their famous, Islam yes Terror No, anti-terror campaign slogan. Lets put it and them to the test. Now, their culture for confining prisoners is a bit more brutal than western culture, allot more. They would have no problem with public floggings, dismemberments, and decapitations for the smallest of crimes. So lets suppose we have an AlQueda type, and we send them to Saudi Arabia for confinement. If they get released, then that lessen the political pressure on Obama. But, perhaps a deal can be worked out. Suppose the Saudis get a AlQueda who 1) publicly asked Allah for forgiveness for the killing of innocents on AlJazeera, 2) swears to Allah that he would not aid or abet AlQueda on AlJazeera, 3) agrees to extradition if captured for such acts on AlJazeera, 4) understands that all immediate family members will be subject to term incarceration if he rejoins AlQueda, and 5) that if he is captured again, will be subject to the most hideous form of Saudi justice, leading to a very painful death, in public, and his remains will be wrapped in pig skin and sent to the bottom of the ocean for eternity for violating his oath to Allah. They may even get some spies to work for them by payments in gold to their families. What you do then is you use their culture against them, to control them, and use Muslim governments to control the crazies, which must be done, if we are ever to win the war on terror. Use the Muslim Governments and their Muslim culture to control extreme Muslims according to their laws, religion, and punishment standard to and perfect the desired result.
Of course, Obama is playing with fire, but as long as there are detainees, Western culture will seek civil rights, civil trials, and comfortable incarcerations, for any of them. This is a conflict of cultures of course, and hence, we need to fight the war on terror with not only good Intel methods, and military force as needed, but also with are brains, and be smart in terms of controlling the crazies. The war on terror will never be won until democratic/civil Muslim societies and governments sit on the crazies. We need them to control their own, and the best way for them to do that is through their own culture.
Personally, I would just march all the GITMO detainees outside to a court yard for the head shots, and be done with it, over night in a mass grave, but I am not the president. Obama won the election, and in our western culture, majority rules. So, the heads shots are out. Indefinite incarceration is out. Military tribunal courts are out. But that does not mean we just sit by and let Obama screw up. We help him to achieve the desired result, and that is, having Muslim governments sit on the crazies using their culture and religion. It may be effective to release Muslim AlQueda types to Muslim Governments that can more effectively deal with them, on their cultural level, as a plan worth considering. We should not try to demean Obama, merely because we are on the right of his political base, but rather, given the political realities, help him become a successful president, because in end, results are achieved, and we all win, with the silence of the lambs.

And of course, within 24 hours of my memo, Obama is going to address Saudi TV.
========
CAIRO, Egypt – President Barack Obama on Tuesday chose an Arabic satellite TV network for his first formal television interview as president, delivering a message to the Muslim world that "Americans are not your enemy."
The interview underscored Obama's commitment to repair relations with the Muslim world that have suffered under the previous administration.
The president expressed an intention to engage the Middle East immediately and his new envoy to the region, former Sen. George J. Mitchell, was expected to arrived in Egypt on Tuesday for a visit that will also take him to Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy," Obama told the Saudi-owned, Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news channel.
Obama said the U.S. had made mistakes in the past but "that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that."
During his presidency, former President George W. Bush gave several interviews to Al-Arabiya but the wars he launched in Iraq and Afghanistan prompted a massive backlash against the U.S. in the Muslim world.
Al-Arabiya has scored interviews with top U.S. officials in the past, including Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The Saudi-owned channel is seen by some in Washington as more balanced in its coverage than its Qatar-funded rival Al-Jazeera, which the previous White House administration complained had an anti-American bias.
=============
Mere coincidence? You make the call.

America, Bush then Obama, the BAD COP - GOOD COP routine, a wonderful 1-2 punch.

America's 1-2 Punch
Mr. Bill OReilly,
President Bush is and will be viewed as a hero. When you are a bold and courageous leader, making the very tuff decisions, you will piss off allot of folks for each tuff decision. Bush was that kind of leader. Now we Obama coming in behind Bush, facing the terror threat and the Muslim culture. Obama is making the right moves to restore America's image in the Muslim world. We just may have two heroes back to back.
"Obama said the U.S. had made mistakes in the past but "that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that."
"During his presidency, former President George W. Bush gave several interviews to Al-Arabiya but the wars he launched in Iraq and Afghanistan prompted a massive backlash against the U.S. in the Muslim world."
This sequence of American Presidential leaders is the BAD-COP GOOD-COP routine, a dynamite, 1-2 punch.
I have goose pimples just now thinking of the long term consequences as the GLOBAL CONFLUENCE MARCHES ON!!!
This is so great. I feel like breaking out the flags, and waving OLD GLORY.

Pigs are pigs, and have no clue.
Why you getting all upset whether the stimulus package does that? You know the government is not going to stop over spending. As you picked up on my reference to Lincoln regarding Habeous Corpous, I will give you another. Lincoln said. "There's to many pigs for the tits", in is own style. Dick Morris has it right, get more than 50% dependent on government spending, and you control the folks, and enforce socialism and the enslavement of the Americans. But, the monetary feedback system will get the socialists in the end, and that paper money. Every fiat paper money system that has ever been has eventually failed. We are in that process now, and its amusing to see all the fuss here and there, when it all is very predictable and expected, and HOPED FOR.
The politicians are just panderers fulfilling the compassion of government enslaving the masses. We know where it will eventually lead, to decades of over spending until the fiat system finally collapses, ala Zimbawai and Iceland. But is it really just a bad thing, eventual collapse, because the only real alternative, is gold and silver, a one world currency that prevents unfair trade practices, deficit spending, and the inability to balance budgets. With real and honest money, the politicians will have to become real and honest, and the people will have to live within their means. We will get there, as night follow day. So watch the over spending and unnecessary spending, and just realize, by their own actions, we will get back to real honest money. and so, I am rooting the DEMS on, spend baby spend, and kill the fiat dollar.

A few missives for your enjoyment.
Le Patron,
A Billion Dollars an Ounce,
As our world moves ever closer toward comprehensive interconnectedness between all nations in the global confluence, currently characterized by trade globalization and global democratization in this democracy century, that is driven by human cultural evolution, toward completion, when ultimately wars are replaced by the up coming trade wars, and when all fiat paper money is driven to zero value and replaced by gold and silver real money as the global medium of exchange dictated by UN treaties outlawing international settlements in fiat, practical considerations are pondered as to the practical mechanics of seamlessly switching from fiat money to real money world wide. A primary goal, when switching from fiat money to real money, is the avoidance of concomitant economic devastation, depression, or severe recession typically characterized by and experienced during the collapse of a fiat money regime. The German early 20th century Wienmark Republic provides the exemplar quintessential calamity experience during such fiat money collapses. The Russian Ruble twice collapsing is another example upon the dislocations suffered when switching from a communist economy to a market economy.
Currently, in the US, the Federal Reserve Note (FRN) is the fiat money used, that has become the world reserve currency, held in quantity in most foreign central banks. The Chinese, for example, are reported to possess upwards of 1.3T-FRN$ in their foreign exchange (Forex) bank reserves. The Federal Reserve Bank, (FED) of the US issue bonds to foreign banks to repatriate FRNs to accommodate current account balances in the US and world wide. The US national debt is today rapidly approaching 10T$. Sure these are big numbers, but, wait until the out years come, when the fiat regimes world wide collapse. The world is racing to that end, as banks around the world attempt to out-print each other, trying to maintain advantage, in a precursor to the up coming trade wars, in manufacturing exports to support respective domestic economies. All paper fiat moneys are experiencing inflation, mostly now actually into double digits, and inflation is and will continue to accelerate into hyper-inflation, and then lastly into mega-inflation, as the end days approach for all fiat paper moneys and national fiat regimes, collectively, referred to as the world fiat complex. Gold and silver bullion has made remarkable increases of late relative to the fiat complex, but what we are seeing is merely the infant stage of collapse of the fiat complex. The fiat collapse has actually barely begun in earnest.
In the context of the global confluence, the use of fiat money has been the primary enabler to particularly project US economic and military power over the last 100 years, primarily starting with the creation of the FED, then with FDR's confiscation of gold from the public, as well as the 1972 disconnect between the gold and the FRN. While real money believers are appalled by the disconnect, and while many FRN savers have been burned by inflation, and will be burned by the fiat complex collapse, the result of the fiat use during the 20th century and into this 21st century, has been an ability to fund US military, economic, and political might which have collectively in fact civilized this world, in large measure, in this democracy century. Now that that civilization has been substantially complete or will be substantially complete soon, war will be outlawed in the years ahead, and as such, the use of the fiat FRN has been, in this measure, a good thing for whole of man kind. But, now is the time to get back to honest government, honest markets, and honest money. Its now time to go back to our traditional roots as free Americans. Personal ownership of land, guns, gold/silver and the vote for less government are the hallmarks of any free society, and puts ultimate power in the people, and we Americans have let our freedom wane, under government controls and mandates. But with the coming completion of the global confluence, lets all Americans demand back all of our freedoms, free from over-intrusive government actions and robbing fiat banking systems. We sacrificed our freedoms in these regards for 100 years or more, during the global confluence struggle, and now that complete victory should be soon declared, our freedoms should be reinstated, in full measure. We Americans paid the heavy price to civilize this world, and now its time to have our freedoms back, completely.
Real money believers, as well as fair and honest world traders in the up coming trade wars, should desire and promote a comprehensive world wide collapse of the fiat complex. When individuals hold real gold and silver money, the people hold the ultimate economic power, the power of the purse, defeating governmental abilities to manipulate our lives through interest rate controls, market manipulations, and uncontrolled fiat money printing. World governments, inherently distrusting of trading partner's excessive fiat printing and abilities to subsidize domestic industries to the disadvantage of their trading partners, ultimately seek that gold and silver real money medium of exchange so as to limit global unfair trade practices between nations. In effects, the uncontrolled fiat printing debasing of the money supplies, self-centered unfair global trade practices, and personal desire for economic freedom in this democracy century are the drivers toward the ultimate return and exclusive international use of real gold and silver money.
Other goals of the real money believers seeking the transition to the exclusive use of real money are the elimination of the Federal Reserve Bank, the elimination of the federal reserve banking system, the elimination of commercial banks executives transplantation into the federal banking system and the inherent conflicts of interest, and the elimination of the ability of the federal government to use commercial banks to manipulate supposedly free markets to the commercial banks' advantage over others market participants when striving for free and fair markets, so that all have an equal opportunity when investing in and dealing with the commercial markets. When real money is used, freedom is advanced, manipulation is limited, conflicts are avoided, and corruption of people and money is limited, if not, eliminated.
The US Mint, like most governmental mints, produce real constitutional money, in the form of 1 oz gold and silver Eagle coinage, in addition to lesser denominations, including 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/2 oz silver and gold coins. In addition, legal tender rates of exchanges between coinage denominations should be set in stone, and currently, this has been done, and as the 1 oz Gold Eagle is set to 50$ and the 1 oz Silver Eagle is set to 1$. Currently, the US Mint produces gold and silver Eagle coinage, as well as the 1ct copper penny and the 5ct nickel. The gold, silver, copper and nickel coinage is traditional US money, and that should be retained and exclusively used following the fiat complex collapse.
The transition to real money may not be that inherently difficult, if the proper game plan and real money stores are ready in advance, when the time comes. So lets set the stage as to the practical mechanics of switching from the fiat complex to real money, particularly in reference to the US FED. First, lets raise the national debt to a mere 100T$, just to give us some spending breathing room, over the next 25 years, to play the fiat end game, and finish the global confluence. Next, the US Mint should set aside 100,000 oz of Gold Eagles, to pay off this nation debt, and that means, 100T-FRN$/100,000 oz of Gold Eagles, equates to 1Billon-FRN$ to 1 gold Eagle. This exchange rate is not set so as to pay back any US debt, but rather set to make transistion to real money smooth, seemless, and practicable.
The US government is believed to possess some 250,000,000 oz of gold, and so, the national debt of 100T-FRN$, in terms of 1 oz Eagles, equates to a mere 0.04% of the US gold reserve. The US government can therefore, issue and print gold certificates, that is, real notes actually redeemable in gold real money at any bank, so the people do not have to transact business carrying a heavy load. Silver stocks can be acquired through the usual tax regimes, and silver certificates can be issued and printed as well. With respect to the copper penny and nickel nickel, if stocks are short, steel penny "certificates" and steel nickel "certificate" coinage can also be stamped out in mass to accommodate any shortage in copper and nickel base metal stocks during the transistion period.
And so, the real money regime can be produced in mass and in advance of the fiat complex collapse by having minted Gold 50$ Eagles, Silver 1$ Eagles, Copper 1ct Pennies, Nickel 5ct Nickels, and their corresponding redeemable certificates, including gold and silver paper certificates and copper and nickel steel stamped coinage certificates.
Now, comes the easy part. The US government should reduce interest rates on FRN$ to zero percent in perpetuity, and start printing 90T FRN$, and literally "go for broke" with the printing presses running around the clock, and intentionally cause that desired mega-inflation in the FRN$. Lets drive the greenback FRN to zero, and kill it once and for all. The US FED is well adept at doing this, they have had allot of practice over the last 100 years. As the 100T-FRN$ are printed and used to completely intentionally destroy the FRN$, the government should enact bi-currency laws, that enable the use of FRN$ or alternatively, for tax purposes, for example, gold and silver real money, both as legal tender, as the FRN$ is driven to zero value relative to the real money. When substantially complete, pay off any foreign Forex debts with real money, at the rate of ONE billion FRNs to 1 oz gold Eagle. As such, the US Government need only flip China (1.3T-FRN$/1B-FRN$/1ozGoldEagle) 1300 gold Eagles, and simply say, thanks for the business, and similarly treat any other foreign Forex reserve holding of US FRN$, and after a limited redemption period, eliminate the Federal Reserve Bank, and put those ex-commercial bank executives in the unemployment line, where they rightfully belong.
The transition to real money is not really a complex thing to do, if done seamlessly through a temporary bi-currency regime and economy, using FRN$ and Gold and Silver real money, concurrently, during the transition periods. The economy should not therefore suffer from an economy shock, but rather, move through a simple transition period. We Americans, by nature, culture, and politics are an adaptable lot of the people, and understand money and inflation, and can personally adjust our personal asset portfolio, to protect wealth during such transition periods, as in the late 1970s, as we have been there and done that, successfully. We should not be afraid of the future, which is a very good one for man kind, in the final days of the global confluence, where wars are replaced by the trade wars, and as the fiat complex is replaced by real money. Our world is becoming safer. Our freedoms will be returned to us. Honest government, honest markets, and honest money will rule the land of the free and brave, once again, and else where around the world. Its is a glorious future, and I hope to be alive that day when one gold Eagle is worth a billion dollars an ounce.

Free Lunch,
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student Told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country, who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a Strange question: 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. 'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms - a little at a time.
One should always remember 'There is no such thing as a free lunch!' Also, 'You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. Also, if you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends. If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams shut!
=======================
Pigs have no clue,
Pigs are Pigs,
Dems want to feed Pigs,
Can you say Oink Oink, and vote them in?
Every American is entitled to a free lunch, a job, health care, a retirement, is the Pig Mantra.
So lets fatten up the pigs for the slaughter.

Benjamin Netanyahu (Please forward to him)
Sir, I admire your tough stand against Iran's spreading of terror (Lebanon, Gaza), and their building of nuclear arms that would place the world's oil supply in the shadows of a nuclear stand off. Take out IRAN!!, let the star of david fly. I wish you success in the up coming election. But sir, please keep your eye on the ball, the objective, which is peace with the Palestinians, And so, I suggest you follow my plan and FREE THE W.BANK, like right here and right now. God bless your personal courage and strength, but most importantly, your WISDOM.

JERUSALEM – President Barack Obama's Mideast envoy turned his attention to the Western-backed Palestinian government in the West Bank on Thursday as rockets thudded into southern Israel and Israeli warplanes attacked new targets in Gaza.
George Mitchell was seen entering Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah and was due to meet later in the day with Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.
He is not meeting with Hamas, the Islamic group that is Abbas' rival and the ruler of the Gaza Strip. The U.S., Israel and European Union have blacklisted Hamas as a terrorist group.
Mitchell held his first round of talks with regional leaders in Cairo and Jerusalem Wednesday to determine the next steps toward reviving peace negotiations following Israel's blistering military offensive Hamas.
=================
Yeah right, Admadinejah asked the US to stop it's support of Israel. YEAH RIGHT, Hamas is willing to negotiate. Remember Koran teaching, lay low when enemy strong, then break agreements when enemy is weak, and go for the throat.
You can not obtain peace until Hamas is on the couch for an attitude adjustment, and the only way that will happen is if W.Bank is freed in prosperity, so Hamas would have some real hope to look at.
Use war, diplomacy, and hand-outs to phuc with their minds for the attitude adjustment, otherwise, it goes no where.
Free the W.Bank, POUND Hamas.
======
BINGO!!! maybe these envoys fools are not clowning around.
=======
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Senior officials in the Islamic group Hamas are indicating a willingness to negotiate a deal for a long-term truce with Israel as long as the borders of Gaza are opened to the rest of the world.
"We want to be part of the international community," Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad told The Associated Press at the Gaza-Egypt border, where he was coordinating Arab aid shipments. "I think Hamas has no interest now to increase the number of crises in Gaza or to challenge the world."
Hamas is trying hard to flex its muscles in the aftermath of Israel's punishing onslaught in the Gaza Strip, doling out cash, vowing revenge and declaring victory over Zionist aggression. But AP interviews with Hamad and two other Hamas leaders in the war-ravaged territory they rule suggest some of that might be more bluster than reality — and the group may be ready for some serious deal making.
That raises the question of whether Hamas, which receives much of its funding and weapons from Tehran, can be coaxed out of Iran's orbit. That question looks less preposterous than it did before President Barack Obama began extending olive branches to the Muslim world and Israel's Gaza offensive reshuffled Mideast politics.

Bankster get bailed out while pocketing the mega bonuses.
Mexicans invade the homeland causing social problems.
Where' the outrage? Where's the HATE speech that provides the negative feed back. It's just not politically correct so say "bad", say "war". Negative words are not allowed.
I am hard right living in liberal gay-town laguna beach. Why you ask? Because the spanish speaking, salsa eating, armed latino gangs waiving their mexican flags ran me out, as I don’t want to live in that foreign country.

My Dad Has A Gun!!! November 8th 2005
President Bush, my beloved president, my hero.
I look back these days, at 50 years of age, and think that I did have a happy childhood. I remember so well playing with building blocks and toy soldiers with Billy and Bobby across the street, and I played slot-cars at my home, while the TV aired the Beatles on the Ed Sulivan Show, with pooky, our dog, running about barking. It was a good time for me, warm and secure. But one day, my dad came home with a weapon, a long big shinny rifle, with boxes of ammo. I recall how he would point it out the window, in mock shooting of anyone coming uninvited. Then at night, the TV showed burning buildings, the city of Watts had exploded in flames, in race riots, and the riots were spreading across the nation. I distinctly recall viewing three national guardsmen on TV, in blood-spattered battle fatigues on the streets of Watts, pointing rifles in the air, standing next to a large sign, reading, "turn left or get shot". I ran across the street the next day, and exclaimed to Billy and Bobby, "MY DAD HAS A GUN!!!". My happy little home was now Fortress 238th Street, in Torrance California.
My grandparents and parents came to California in the 1950s, from on the demilitarized zone in Cleveland Ohio, separating the white and black communities. My grandpa would not watch NBA basketball because it had too many blacks playing. My parents did watch the NBA, but were not much better. I recall one time, while at a newspaper boys' rally, where I called a white boy the N-word, and a black boy looked at me in surprise. I immediately apologized, but in thinking about, I became ashamed of myself. I grew to hate my grandparent's bigotry, for contaminating my childhood parlance. My parents, now much guarded in their speech, still retain to this day residual bias, but at least conduct themselves civilly these days. I will certainly teach my children to judge people by the content of character and not the color of skin. It takes generations of social unrest, violence, and divisiveness to over come deep seated prejudices resulting from a mass immigration of peoples who are not readily assimilate into American culture.
The last slave ship, the Nightingale, destined for the slave market in the USA, was captured by Yankee cruisers off the west coast of Africa in 1861, yet it really took hundreds of blockading gunboats plying off the southern ports to finally shut down the slave trade. In 1863, when New York threaten to secede from the union, the large Irish population, from the migration from the Ireland potato famine, went on a draft riot, mostly sparked by fears of dying for freed blacks that would take their jobs, as poor blacks were then publicly lynched in the streets of New York. Our heroes from the battle of Gettysburg were called into New York to baby-sit the Irish as the blacks coward in fear for their lives.
North America effectively imported slaves until there were millions of blacks vastly outnumbering their white southern task masters. As a result, it has taken a civil war, and race riots, and 150 years hence of social unrest to substantially rid our society of that problem of importing, in mass, a race of peoples who were not immediately assimilated into the American culture. That mass importation of slaves directly lead to a devastating civil war and almost a divided nation. We can only absorb so many immigrants within a given span of time, without devastating consequences. We have been there and done that. And now, there are growing race tensions between blacks and Hispanics in Los Angeles when eyeing limited employment opportunities. The minute men on the southern border are getting close to armed vigilantism, and John Brown's treason of 1859. Have we not learned anything? Are we blind?
These days, we have a porous southern border where millions of uneducated, unskilled, illegal immigrates are invading the US homeland, with no end in sight. While the compassion for the low income people is admirable, the present expansion of the welfare state, creating huge deficits, is merely laying out more bait for continued illegal immigration. The US constitution, that directly authorizes a standing army to prevent invasion, is being ignored, in contradiction of sworn oaths by law makers to uphold the constitution, another national disgrace, tantamount to treason.
I was channel flipping TV the other day and came across channel 7, KABC in Los Angeles, and heard a commercial in Spanish, first one I have ever heard on mainstream network prime time broadcast. I cannot channel flip the AM radio at all any more, as at least 50% of the stations are Latino, so the Latinos have effectively captured one entire media outlet in the Los Angeles market, that I do not visit any longer. Maybe KABC, a major network is going Mexican as well. I can just see the KABC nightly news anchors all wearing sombreros, backed-up by the TJ brass. I hope Mr. Bill OReilly does not speak Spanish, I would not want to turn him off as well, though I bet he would look good in a sombrero. I can not eat the cafeteria work food any longer, as all of it is now saturated with salsa, despite recurring objections, and so I have to bring my sandwiches and fruit to work each day. The cashier does speak English very well, and communicating over charge errors creates complications, so in stead, I have to use my broken Spanish to make up for the lack of communication. In my liberal state, California is now publishing, under state imposed directives, multilingual literature, to the deprivations of poor Americans needing assistance or tax relief. We should spend our US tax dollars to only support Americans furthering American culture, while encouraging the display of various other ethics cultures only within moderation, to have a wide diverse mix furthering tolerance.
Yet, in spite of it all, I don't have a prejudicial bone in my body, but you know, every time I see a head scarf on the streets, I think of 3000 dead in NY, and get outraged. And now, there are riots in Paris, and I am shocked. An open border with a generous welfare state spells doom in the long run. There is little from the Muslim leaders condemning this outrage as 400 towns burn in France, and spreading to England, Denmark, Belgium, and Germany, all with the same immigration problem. What a mess that I don't want here in the US, yet Muslim immigration is also on the rise as well, and they to do not readily assimilate with their jihadist mentality, and their cultural disdain for the infidels. I see and hear it all clearly, now, the deafening blaring of Jihad singing coming from the local mosque in downtown Laguna Beach California, signaling all to join in state imposed mandatory mid-day four-hour siestas.
Mexicans are not coming here for all the right reasons. Sure, I respect the dignity of work, but vast uncontrolled illegal immigration goes way beyond that sympathetic view. The illegal immigrants come here in the first instance to violate immigration laws. Crime is not one of the right reasons to come here. The illegal immigrants come here, not to readily assimilate but to promote their mexicanism in this country with their special studies, their bilingual education, their salsa food, their bilingual literature, their capture of AM radio, their capture of weak minded politicians, their Mexican flags in downtown LA or in Georgia, and their Cinco De Mayo, inter alia. Sure I like a little foreign culture in the mix, but not one that dominate over US culture. The illegal immigrants come here to peddle their drugs, to join gangs, degrade property values, and effectively to generate resentment, that will ultimately result to racial riots in the out years, when the US cuts back the hand outs. The illegal worker immigrants come here to simply earn money, not generally with their families to relocate and assimilate and waive the US flag, but to send their money back to Mexico, damaging increased trade. President Fox should build industry in Mexico with cheap labor for the US to exploit, so as to lift their economy, as the way it has been done for centuries. The border must be closed, with a US offer of generous recurring temporary work visas, without any amnesty.
I do not want East Los Angeles, Santa Ana, San Diego, or other southern US cities, from El Paso TX, to Denver CO, to Albuquerque NM, to Phoenix AZ, to go up in flames in the out years. I am tired of the poor-me victimization political card, or race based affirmative action, or the ruination of Americanism, or the political race card, or the weak-minded political pandering, or the eventual bigotry leading to violence and destruction and deaths that necessarily flows from an unrestrained importation of a vast number foreigners that are not readily assimilated into American culture, to only then leave that problem to my children to solve.
The GOP is destined to be marginalized by the inaction on the southern border. For the next decade, the issues that drive US politics will be WEDMI (Wed-Me), that is War, Economy, Deficit, Marriage, and Invasion. A recent FoxNews OReilly survey indicates that Americans, including the conservative base, do not believe that the current administration will get tuff on the US southern border. There is a lack of confidence that is building in the conservative circles. However, most Americans still believed that the Republicans have better leadership and vision over the Democrats who have no vision whatsoever, and simply spew their hate, while pandering any fringe group having a receptive ear.
We Americans deserve better than the lesser of two incompetent political parties. As in Raider Football, the cry seems to be, JUST WIN BABY, while the team is repetitively penalized for unsportman like conduct. I will not vote for the Republicans merely because they are the lesser of two incompetent evils, as does a vast numbers of Americans who simply choose not to vote at all. I recently received a request to contribute to the GOP again, but wrote back, only if President Bush closes the southern border. I will not support dereliction of duty, perceived as nearly treason.
As to WEDMI, the -E-conomy is miraculously holding strong but interest rates and inflation are rising spelling immanent stagnation, the -D-eficits remain unacceptably high, the -W-ar is not perceived as going well, the US government has failed to utterly stop the southern -I-nvasion, and has failed to pass a constitution amendment defining -M-arriage as between a man an a woman, though there is some good to come in the out years in packing the supreme court with conservatives. So as I see it, that is two marginal positives, and three bad negatives. That is simply an unacceptable report card for the current administration. I had not voted since President Reagan, and did not vote in the Gore v Bush election, as well, but when I saw the BOLD leadership of president Bush in Iraq, I crawled out of my hole, cut the check to the GOP, and pounded the payment on the streets three days a week for three months prior to the election Bush v Kerry, all by myself, in a sea of liberals, relearning childhood dodgeball skills from bottles being regularly thrown at me. The southern border needs to be shut down, and if it is not, and done soon, I will merely buy a gun, barricade the front door, defend my fortress, and crawl back into my happy little world, and leave you all to your pathetic selves.
Sincerely
Derrick Michael Reid

THIS IS GREAT!!! I love a spat in public!!
The confrontation saw Peres and Ergodan raise their voice shouting — highly unusual at the elite gathering of corporate and world leaders, which is usually marked by learned consensus seeking and polite dialogue. It showed how emotions remain frayed over Israel's offensive against Hamas that ended less than two weeks ago.
The packed audience at the Ergodan and Peres session, which included President Obama's close adviser Valerie Jarrett, appeared stunned.
Afterward, forum founder Klaus Schwab huddled with Erdogan in a corner of the Congress Center. A press conference with both men was scheduled for 8:30 p.m. (1930 GMT)
"I have know Shimon Peres for many years and I also know Erdogan. I have never seen Shimon Peres so passionate as he was today. I think he felt Israel was being attacked by so many in the international community. He felt isolated," said former Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik said.
"I was very sad that Ergodan left. This was an expression of how difficult this situation is."
Amr Moussa, the former Egyptian foreign minister who now leads the Arab League, said Ergodan's action was understandable. "Mr. Ergodan said what he wanted to say and then he left. That's all. He was right." Of Israel, he said, "They don't listen."
Ergodan brushed past reporters outside the hall. His wife appeared upset. "All Peres said was a lie. It was unacceptable," she said, eyes glistening.

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher here in southern California, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Harry (senator (D) from Nevada) Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory.some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Harry (senator (D) from Nevada) Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.
On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.' So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their mutual great-great uncle. Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research: 'Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.' (No relation to me, I HOPE)

MOSCOW – The dead loom over the morning editorial meeting at Russia's leading investigative newspaper. Novaya Gazeta's staff is trying to plan the next issue and editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov is in an understandably foul mood.
In a corner hang photos of four reporters he has lost in the past eight years — one beaten to death, one allegedly poisoned, two shot — the most recent on Jan. 19.
It's not easy to put a paper out these days, Muratov says.
"There's usually a lot of jokes, laughing, talk about ideas. But our batteries are totally spent," says Muratov, 47, billows of pipe smoke filling the long pauses. "How can there be any sort of (normal) frame of mind when a journalist is being buried?"
That journalist was Anastasia Baburova, a 25-year-old cub reporter. She and a human rights lawyer were shot execution-style by a masked man with a silenced pistol as they walked together a few blocks from the Kremlin.

A few block from the Kremlin, yeah, with telescopic nipper rifles sticking out. Were they ever asking for it. I wonder if reporters are cause for the 55 yo life expectancy within the Russias. THAT IS THREE HEAD SHOTS in the last year.

AP BBC CNN JEW HATERS feed Intl' Bias
Hey Bill OReilly,
Does silence on the subject render you complicit? Just Curious.
I have been Kiev, and kharkov, and Chernotsi, and Luvbo "Ukriena", and to "Roossiea" 12 times, and I have talked with many and heard the stories, and its real, baby, some sick sh*t for sure, and I understand the nazies for what they were, and it first started with the terror on jews, now going on in a gaza neigborhood near you, then it progressed to saturate the minds of the public through Gerble and his propagandizers, as now going in the WORLD PRESS with its global reach, and AP, BBC and CNN are the worst of the lot, blaming the war on terror on the Jews, and not the terrorists. Next, BBC will hold public raffles for the sought after prize of a JEW head shot. I repeat, I am surprise there is a jew left alive in this world. When you need an convenient enemy to rally the folks, or a good cause like rat termination, or when you coward and submit to the BROWN shirts (aka muslims in the EU turning the EU into the modern day appeasers), the next thing, is to TAKE OUT THE JEWS. Who cares about them? They are an easy convenient target, not having a home land, and on the run for 2000 years. It all makes me sick, these world publications and their bias in favor of appeasement encouraging genecide of a people having a peaceful belief is a good and merciful god.

KIEV, Ukraine – The Holocaust has a landscape engraved in the mind's eye: barbed-wire fences, gas chambers, furnaces.Less known is the "Holocaust by Bullets," in which over 2 million Jews were gunned down in towns and villages across Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Their part in the Nazis' Final Solution has been under-researched, their bodies left unidentified in unmarked mass graves."Shoah," French filmmaker Claude Lanzmann's documentary, stands as the 20th century's epic visual record of the Holocaust. Now another Frenchman, a Catholic priest named Patrick Desbois, is filling in a different part of the picture.Desbois says he has interviewed more than 800 eyewitnesses and pinpointed hundreds of mass graves strewn around dusty fields in the former Soviet Union. The result is a book, "The Holocaust by Bullets," and an exhibition through March 15 at New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage.Brought to Ukraine by a twist of fate, Desbois has spent seven years trying to document the truth, honor the dead, relieve witnesses of their pain and guilt and prevent future acts of genocide.Some 1.4 million of Soviet Ukraine's 2.4 million Jews were executed, starved to death or died of disease during the war. Another 550,000-650,000 Soviet Jews were killed in Belarus and up to 140,000 in Russia, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Most of the victims were women, children and the elderly.Begun after Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, the slaughter by bullets was the opening phase of what became the Nazis' Final Solution with its factories of death operating in Auschwitz and other camps, all in Nazi-occupied Poland.Desbois devotes his 233-page book, published by Palgrave Macmillan in August, to his work in Ukraine, where he says he has uncovered over 800 mass extermination sites, more than two-thirds of them previously unknown.Since the book was written, he has expanded his search for mass graves into Belarus and plans to look early this year in areas of Russia that were occupied by the Germans.Sometimes bursting into tears, old men and women from poor Ukrainian villages recount to Desbois how women, children and elders were marched or carted in from neighboring towns to be shot, burned to death or buried alive by German troops, Romanian forces, squads of local Ukrainian collaborators and local ethnic German volunteers.Even then, it was methodical, Desbois' research shows. First, Germans would arrive in a town or village and gather intelligence on how best to transport the victims to extermination sites, where to execute them and how to dispose of their bodies."It was done as systematically as it was done elsewhere," said John Paul Himka, an expert on the Holocaust and Ukraine at the University of Alberta in Canada, who is not connected to Desbois' work. "You can read as they're figuring out best way to do this, the best way to shoot ... it's absolutely systematic, no accident here."Desbois' interviews and grave-hunting tie in to millions of pages of Soviet archives, heightening their credibility, says Paul Shapiro, of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum who wrote the foreword to Desbois' book.Father Desbois' work is also having an impact on efforts to preserve Holocaust sites. In December, the 26-nation International Task Force on the Holocaust called on European governments to ensure the protection of locations such as the mass graves Desbois is uncovering, according to Shapiro, who helped draft the resolution.Among Desbois' key findings is the widespread use of local children to help bury the dead, wait on the German soldiers during meals and remove gold teeth and other valuables from the bodies. His work has also yielded evidence that the killings were most frequently carried out in the open, in daylight and in a variety of ways — shooting victims, throwing them alive into bonfires, walling up a group of Jews in a cellar that wasn't opened until 12 years later.Desbois' witnesses are mostly Orthodox Christian, and he comes to them as a priest, dressed in black and wearing a clerical collar, taking in their pain and trying to ease their suffering. Many have never before talked about their experiences.

My Great Emanicpator,
Before we leave Obama's farcical DC fly in hugging the Lincoln memorial, who was not the great emancipator 1/, who said "there are to many pigs for the tits" /2, as he also said that "democracy was the last best hope OF earth" 3/, we must remind Obama that he at anytime can try to muster the political consensus to ditch the Federal Reserve Bank, as President Wilson, said later "I have ruined the country" 4/, and Obama can correct that huge mistake, and Obama can turn us all so HARD-RIGHT, that we all meet in the middle and back to our constitutional roots.
President Lincoln went to the banks to borrow money to fund the civil war, but when he heard that the PRIVATE banks were charging large interest payments, he created the GREENBACK, 5/ which was TREASURY NOTE (not a FED reserve issued note), thereby avoiding interest payments and the banks' hammer lock control on the money supply through the collection of interest. As long as the IRS exists, which I hope would be abolished like the FED per THE PLAN 6/, (if you have been keeping up to date), required payment in FED FRNs (aka fiat dollar) will be had, thereby providing the dollar with an artificial inherent value, though its intrinsic value remains zero.
The entire system, that requires a MORTGAGE to buy a house, to enslave Americans to the banks for 30 FREAKING YEARS of interest PRACTICALLY YOUR ENTIRE ADULT WORKING LIFE, that requires TAXES be paid to the IRS in FRN fiat paper money, to be enslave Americans to the government less incarceration as a criminal cheat, and requires SOCIALISTIC over-spending to feed the ever increasing welfare state, to increase those taxes to increase our incarceration to the social system, the entire American complex has been geared to enslave Americans as peons to the socialistic political panderers that rule DC. The people have no clue. Pigs are pigs. Feed the pigs, and they happily live in a pig sty with freedom abandoned. Our government can break these chains of bondage any time, if it has the political will to do so, per THE PLAN, which is a far-reaching reactionary plan back to our constitutional roots.
Obama comes to office with severe monetary problems mostly created by that enslaving monetary system. He will become O-bomb-em-and-Spend, fighting terrorists and a spiraling out of control economy, with his short term solutions. But as a true American, an eternal optimist, I would ask that he step back, and get the big picture, and really become an American Hero, a great president beyond all measure of those who came before him, and perfect THE PLAN.
I doubt it of course, but as the global monetary system spirals out of control, temporarily sustained at times with a band-aid here and there, there are us real money believers who will keep the faith, and urge a return to real money. Obama can always step out of himself, outside of his time, and think outside the box, and become immortal throughout the ages, and become MY LAST GREAT HOPE ON EARTH, MY GREAT EMANCIPATOR.

1/ [side bar: Though the emanicpation declaration was ineffective at the time issued, it was nonetheless understood by americans and particularly the common brit for what it was, the first offical act directed toward freeing the slaves, and though it was issued for political purposes, it nonetheless started the ball rolling for full emancipation, and in that, Lincoln is remembered for freeing the slaves. The people and the common brit understood it for more than what it was and had no clue as to the political purposes creating it, and viewed Lincoln as the great emancipator. Lincoln was a political animal.]
2/ [side bar: That comment was directed more towards appointed office seekers, and Lincoln did not like having to pay up for the political promises made to get him the support need to win. But the comment is so so on point when it comes to the socialists trying to take over the country creating weak minded citizens who become dependent on government spending].
3/ Le Patron, (Posted by Midas, 10/22/07 James Joyce Table)
Walking Liberty is Real Money.
The highly respected and much followed analyst Peter Grandich, (one of my personal favorites) has recently penned a controversial letter entitled "Man Your Battle Stations", (http:// news.goldseek.com/ Grandich /1192464000.php). Mr. Grandich does an excellent job of highlighting geopolitical troubles about the world, and relates these troubles as bullish for bullion, rightly so, while indicating that geopolitical time bombs are ready to go off. In large measure, Grandich's global glass is less than half full. Mr. Grandich stated that "The middle east, soon to be front and center", but it already was. So what is new? It is not that it will be front and center, but rather, what are the long term directions, that should concern us all.
While Russian President Putin speaks in terms of peaceful Iranian nuke use, he does not press compliant sanctions, indicating, President Putin likes a little confliction in the oil fields, naturally so, as Russia builds an energy empire rivaling OPEC. The Russian double dutch seems clear, push up the price of oil. Unless you first recognize a problem, a militant nuke Iran, you can not seek a resolution. World focus upon the Iranian nukes was a first good step toward resolution, sanctions is another, war if necessary will be another, but the trick is to keep the pressure on so that something will crack. In terms of significance, Iran is the last significant nut to crack in global militancy, state sponsored terrorism, or naked aggression, as the world's globalization confluence is now being perfected. While Iraq has been difficult, the insurgency seems to be finally abating, with Sunnis now opposing Al Queda, and with democratic Kurds, Shia and Sunni facing off against theocratic Shia, hence the birth of true democratic political parties and constituencies. The Turks may do some spanking in Northern Iraq, justifiably so, the PKK is a terrorist organization, and spanking them would be a good thing. In Pakistan, things are finally starting to turn, with democratic Ms Bhutto entering Pakistan, forming an alliance with, of all things, strong man Musharrif, both now opposing extremists. Hello!! Did you get that, strong man Musharrif is bringing in the democrats!!! (He really has no choice, to solve his problem.) This is a very good thing. An injection of a democratic leader into Pakistan should be regarded as a long term positive, trying to civilize that disjointed and conflicted country. Burma and Nepal are in revolt, the democrats there want political power. China is now teaching North Korea, free market operation, WOW!, bringing another GAP nation into the fold of CORE cooperative nations, as nuke are being dismantled. Things are actually moving in the right direction, if you can see it all through the latest car bomb smoke.
So, there are two views, the other is that the glass is way more than half full. Maybe Mr. Grandich would like to go back in time, with his picnic basket, away from these very troubling modern days, and go back to Hitler's Germany, Armenian Genocide, Imperial Japan, Stalin's Soviet Union, Yugoslavia Genocide, you know, the good old days, where multi-million man international armies roamed over continents laying waste to swaths of lands murdering MILLIONS, except lets make sure they all have tactical nuke weapons, just to make sure gold goes sky high, supportive of your favorite share picks. But not to worry, gold will hit $35K/oz when all fiat is outlawed in about 2035 as the world becomes a real money economy, once again. Not to worry, again, your mine shares will do just fine.
Surely there are many hot spots that can be identified, but these, save a potential blockade of Iran (having some UN IAEA legitimacy, and hence would not be totally unilateral, especially when emboldened with a little French wine), are all intra-territorial disputes. Today, there is no pair of UN recognized nations with front line troops battling it out just now, hence, we now, this day, have a world without international WARS. Hello? Did anyone get that? As to intra-territorial disputes or insurgencies, there are many, mostly in the middle east, some in Africa, and some in Indonesia. The degree of insurgency, from armed uniformed insurgent armies, to mass murdering of civilians, to infrastructure terrorizing bombings, to debilitating national strikes, to disorderly rock-throwing protests, to civil demonstrations, and finally to the ballet box, is a civil disorder quantization along an insurgency continuum. As to this continuum, the operating point of a society within a territory is inversely related to the number of years that that society has had a functioning democracy. The USA, the longest living democracy, nearing flew apart in a civil war 80 years after democracy took hold here. It takes many many generations to learn the "democracy" culture of civility, and children do throw temper tantrums occasionally. There is an inverse correlation between intra-territorial civil disorder and the length of time the democracy is in place, as this thing, called democracy, is a learned culture. This learned culture possesses the ability to spew your counter-mantra into another's face, at the drop of the hat, yet, at the end of the debate, shake hands, and submit to majority rule, without firing a shot, the civil thing, which is a very difficult thing to do in theocratic, totalitarian, monarchial, or strong-man cultures.
The direction on earth is a very good one, if you believe the glass is half full, and the direction continues to this day, as we transit from war and FRNs to trade and gold. Nations would rather have political cover, share the costs, through a global organization. Allied Wars, Coalitions, NATO, and allied grouped militaries, (all being indications of the global confluence continued strength), are all precursor to UN peace keepers, as cops on the street, limited to intra-national insurgencies and civil disorder. Currently, the collapse of the FRN is merely a means to reduce foreigner's forex reserves so they pony up for their share in globalization by the US keeping trade lanes free, as a cost of doing business, and the US national debt will be reduced to zero, when gold finally replaces fiat globally in the far out years.
As to trade, the same affect occurs. As state controlled economies shift to free-market economies, ala China, more free trade agreements and packs are being had, as the trade wars heat up, with mutual multilateral trade agreements, just like the trend in multilateral international militaries used to perfect the global confluence of coalitions and UN peace keepers. Commercial free speech leads to political free speech, and all theocratic, monarchial, dictatorial, and totalitarian regimes will continue to have trouble, ultimately failing, because all do not provide a means of free political expression, and they will continue to give rise to new democracies, that will experience initial growing pains, as civil disorder, as the democratic culture is learned and becomes dominate eliminating wars and fiat in the out years.
In the out years, no longer will national militaries strike unilaterally, as the world becomes even more interconnected through the globalization confluence. Unfair competition will be ruled out concurrently by the global traders seeking fair competition, and that means gold will be the medium of exchange in the global confluence and economies. Before our every eyes, Mr. Grandich, war and fiat are being replaced by trade and gold, as the respective preferred tool and medium of global survival of the fittest, due to the inevitable march of political civility of cultural evolution through global confluent democratization and globalized free trade.
Sure, there are many insurgencies about the globe, but one needs to take a step back and look at the big picture. These insurgencies are merely the expected dust raised by the foot prints of "Walking Liberty", first recognized by President Lincoln, in the last paragraph of his 12/1/1862 address to congress, where he stated that our nation must not fail "as the last best hope OF earth", placing our civil war effort above merely preserving the union or freeing slaves, but that, democracy must not fail, as he was the first to recognize democracy as a global solution and hope to cement permanent peace in all conflicted peoples, "if followed". President Bush herald in "democracy century" effectively putting that 1862 recognition into the modern context, as a done deal, at this point in time, where democracies are catching hold and where there are no international wars. Walking Liberty sure has made the rounds, about the globe, starting in 1862, or perhaps even to Jefferson's barbary pirates. Surely, the trip has been a long one, taking 145 years, and is nearly done, and it has been very painful for mankind. But, in the middle of this 21st century, the cries by all may just be "Free at Last, Free at Last, Praise God Almighty, ALL OF MANKIND is Free at Last". The insurgencies to which Mr. Grandich complains are natural infantile attempts at democracy, along the disorder-insurgency continuum, though not stated as such, addressing opposing views in the only way they really know how, but that will all die a natural death as the culture of democracy is learned by all in the foot prints of "Walking Liberty", enroute to replacing war and the FRN dollar with trade wars and the gold global medium of exchange. When fully back home, when Mr. Lincoln's greenbacks are finally burned, wars will be replaced by trade wars, as the proper place of Walking Liberty is Real Money.
4/ A comment by Woodrow Wilson about signing into law an act creating the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a privately owned bank, sucking the blood out of the American people.
5/ It has been asserted that Booth killed lincoln because he defied the European bankers by issuing a Tresury Issue paper dollar that did not provide the banks blood-sucking interest payment. While that theory is consistent with the politics of the day, there is no hard evidence to back it up. And without more Booth killed lincoln because of his outrage over the lose of the conderate south, when bobby lee, gave it up.
6/ THE PLAN, is a reactionary plan in response to the socialization of America over the last 100 years. It calls for the abolishment of a) THE FED BANK, b) IRS, c) FIAT PAPER MONEY, d) medical malpractic claims, d) compassionate penal penalities, e) the welfare state, f) social security, g) entitlements, among many other leftist means of enslaving the American people by the Government, "if I were king of the world".

Mr. Bill OReilly and LePatron (Mr. Bill Murphy, GATA, Lemetropolecafe)
Sorry Polymetals,
I sit here in the war room, hunkered down, with the doors bolted and barricaded, locked and loaded, defending my home from government intrusion, and wonder if it is treason, to use international global pressure to defeat the US FED bank, the heart of the global fiat money complex, to return the USA to constitutional money, real and honest money, of gold and silver coinage. I may need a shark to advise me, but I dislike any entanglements with the monopolizing licensed dispute resulution sharks that sit beyond the court bars.
I am thinking of contacting Polymetals, Kraznayarks, Russia, to further Putin's plan to dethrone the US FIAT DOLLAR as the world reserve currency, in my attempt to return the USA to its constitutional gold and silver coinage, doing it, through the back door, so to speak, as the political hacks in DC have no backbone to make such a difficult move.
I am more than capable of setting up a gold and silver mints for producing gold and silver coinage for the US domestic market. I am capable of managing the development of new production capabilities, developing new technology by high tech US tooling companies that can be employed for the production of small gold silver items with improved cost-effective custom production methods. Polymetals, located in Kraznayark Siberia and Habarosk in Primorski in the Far East, may just want to engage me in assisting them in setting up custom minting operations there, using US technology for the sale of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium small items for retail sales throughout Russia and the EU, South America, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. This business would be ripe for the billion dollar oligarchs to multiply gains and wealth. The idea is to put bullion coinage in the hands of the folks, in case the world goes to bullion backed currencies by UN treaty.
Russia, China, as well as the USA, must plan for the inevitable currency turmoil that lies directly ahead of us all. We as a global community have not seen the worse of it, and it is going to get much much worse, making the 1930s style depression look like a cake walk. Putin was in Dovas Switzerland recently, and he is correct, the world must dump the US fiat dollar as a reserve currency, and get all countries on equal fair footing, with honest money, and the only way that happens is by UN treaty outlawing fiat money use, as global community returns to real honest gold and silver money, and here, the USA, Russia and China have very good gold and silver mine production, for that to happen, and it will happen, in time.
If the USA will not lead the way, by hanging on to its global enslavement and power projections using FIAT money, I could help Russia or China, expand their mint capacity with updated modern minting equipment. For example, I could help Polymetals get into minting, on a massive global scale, so as to put bullion in the hands of the folks for profit with a standard honest medium of exchange world wide. I can help extent Russia's bullion business into the cash markets around the world, by setting up Russian owned mints, replicating modern USA tooling and equipment, strategically located in Russia around the globe in five strategically targeted locations, including the EU, South America, Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia.
What I would propose, is a standard modular transportable high capacity mint production line design, that is readily expandable in quantity, that takes refined large bullion bars, comex acceptable for example, and produces small items using novel automated production processes for sale to the people en mass, and these production lines can be set up anywhere by anyone in any amount, as desired. This would be like Stalin's mass movement of Russia arms production plants to the Urals as the Nazies advanced on Moscow, except modernly, it’s the US FIAT money encroachment into every FOREX reserve account of every major central bank in the world, and hence, the strangle hold, and enslavement. As such, if the USA retains its fiat money, and retains its FIAT status as the world reserve currency, enslaving the world with it and by it, I could assist Polymetals in setting up Russian private mints, for example, three in Russia, such as, St Petersburg, Kraznayarks, Habarosk, and five outside of Russia, South America, EU, Central Asia, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, so as to provide good global coverage in these markets. I could do this for the USA, China, and Russia, and any major player as part of a UN perfected plan to put all nations on an equal monetary footing.
In the out years to come, war and fiat money will be eventually replaced by THE TRADE WARS and REAL HONEST MONEY, gold and silver coinage, where the UN, by international treaty, outlaws fiat money world wide, so that all nations trade fairly as between all nations. You just cant cheat a real gold or silver coin, that has no liability, no counter party risk, and can not just be printed and inflated. My concern is that the goons from the Treasury, using their IRS henchmen, will throw my butt in jail for treason on trumped up charges. I think I will stay hunkered down, (for the time being), I have a wife and two kids to feed.
Sorry World. Sorry Polymetals.

This is all DYNAMITE STUFF, the pigs doc is contrary to your Russian/EU socialism, and is exceeding contrary to the views of University Professors like yourself, but if you are a free speech guy, then you may just want my JUNGLE-CAPITALISTIC views to be heard in Russia. DOES IGOR HAVE THE BALLS? Dang, the socialists, the international press, DC political Hacks, the Gold Cartel, The European Banking Cartel, DVGU students, and the Terrorists would all want a piece of your butt, if you post this stuff.

I can tell from here how conflicted you are. DOES IGOR HAVE THE BALLS??? JUST DO IT!!!! and let the sparks FLY!!!! I will put DVGU on the world maps!!!! LOL!!!!!
Maybe they will build a monument of IGOR in bronz upon your untimely death, next to Lenin downtown by the Vladivostok POCHTA, of course, and all DVGU student alumni getting married can then toast to the great free speech immortal IGOR, by tradition in perpetuity.
(On the freaking floor!!!)

Pochta is post office.
(Its traditional in Vladivostok to drive around town to each monument, and there are many, and toast bride and groom just after marriage, getting drunk enroute and people do get killed by the by in so doing, Tanya and I did that as well, driving around in an old KGB limo, in 2001, 6/30/01 my birthday as well.)

super bowl about to start.
I was tickle pink that General BETRAYUS flip the coin.
But I ponder Putin move in switzerland.
Putin want the demise of the fiat dollar dominance as a reserve currency. Mean time RIOTS break out in Moscow, no SHUT!!!! he could be playing to the domestic crowd trying to deflect 70%- stocks, economy tanking, ruble collapsing the chessmaster get put in check.
But lets play it out.
Assumption, the only the fiat dollar is remove, is only by UN treaty, all go to gold/silver, fairness.
But the FRN is only a note redeemable in anything the US wants, for FRN if you wish (dummy). OK, the US have them all by the balls. Redemption, any price. Sure it would hurt all FRN holders, but US saving are low. but surely US citizens would be hurt as well. But by redeeming at 1B$/oz, the national debt is wiped out, all bonds are called in. REBOOT.
So, the foreigners get nailed bad, while the US get an overall huge win, no debt, and an in tact infrastructure, high tech, good university, it would be great. Putin must realize this, though, the more I think about foreign leaders, the less impressed I am.
So, Putin better be careful here, he may just get his wish, and since Russia like other hold US FRN, they all get screwed big time, effectively ponying up for the cost of the US civilizing the world. That is not a great winner for the foreigners.
Putin may not have thought it through, the great chessmater. If I were King of the US, I would call him on it. Sure, there would be a bad transistory period, but in the end, we reboot, we have mines and all the infrastructure with a working population, and, NOW GET THIS, with gold and silver the socialists are nailed, as hence forth pay as you go, because you cant cheat gold and silver, with deficit spending, and THE BANKS are screwed, because the people have more bullion now in tonnage, and freedom and purchasing power is in the hands of the folks. That is a WIN WIN for the US, and loser for the foreigner's and their FOREX, and the global socialists. The FED, IRS could be abolished as well per the PLAN. If we have a president who thinks it through. No more FED FRN. Because gold is gold, fiat inflation does not come in, and hence, no need for INTEREST, a fee for fully collaterize loan. You buy your home, but pay back is merely loan plus a small percentage over the term, with NO interest. You stop the enslavement of the people, you free people from the yoke of the IRS and bankers.
MIKIE LIKES IT!!!! Ok Putin, lets rock!!!
If Obama tries it, the banks money men behind in the power play may try to take him out.

Le Patron,
The New World Order,
Putin, Hu, EU, and CBs have a profound FOREX dilemma. Putin was in Davos Switzerland crying to the G20 that the world must dump the US Dollar as the world reserve currency, that is, the Federal Reserve Note (FRN), that is not a constitutional silver dollar, but rather fiat paper money having an artificial inherent value based upon required IRS tax payments, and that has an intrinsic value of absolute zero. The US, once on the gold and silver standard, suckered the rest of the world into accepting these valueless paper notes for goods and services, who have all done so at their own peril. US citizens gave up the ghost in 1913 when President Wilson signed off on creation of the FED banks, and hence, stuck US citizens with that paper trash and surrender economic freedom to the Federal Reserve Bank, a privately owned bank, controlled not by the US government, but by domestic and foreign banks.
In the mean time, back in the Moscow, the Russian stock index is off a huge 70%, the Russian Ruble is in the tank at 36.1r/$, the Russian economy is slowing with rising inflation, with Putin's energy empire groping along at a mere 40$/barrow for oil, and now with riots breaking out, as in Moscow over superbowl weekend. In China, reverberations are had with charges and counter charges of currency manipulation as Obama's bullion hit man and new treasury chief Geithner fumbles the super power play and tics off the Chinese, the world largest foreign holder of US debt.
The world is plunging into depression as hot rhetoric flies back and forth, as the world economy spirals out of the control, with charges and counter charges of fault, and with banking defaults, as most nations attempt to devalue their fiat currencies attempting to maintain market share of foreign exports. One sad mess, all created by the use of inherently worthless fiat money, that put power in the hands of the banksters. Consequently, gold and silver bullion prices are on the rise during the financial turmoil and the panic now accelerating world wide, and bullion prices are likely to go ballistic in the near term, upward of $6000/oz by the end of Obama's presidential term.
Russia's Putin, China's Hu, and the EU's banksters apparently seek the demise of the US fiat dollar dominance as the world reserve currency. With Russia in the grip of strong-man rule, with Hu's communist party in totalitarian political control, and with the EU dominated by their left leaning socialists, they all had better be careful. They all might just get what they are asking for.
The global confluence of increasing interconnectiveness of all nations is continually increasing as human cultural evolution drives countries into more and more civil global cooperation leading to less war and no fiat money, being replaced by trade wars and bullion as the international medium of exchange. With calls of abandoning the US FRN as the world reserve currency, and with fiat money being devalued on a daily basis, there is only one practical alternative to the global fiat complex and currency mess facing the globe, and that is the long awaited return to real and honest money of gold and silver as the only global currency allowed and functioning as the only trusted medium of exchange between nations, businesses and persons, which would require a global UN world-wide treaty to perfect the reinstatement of the global gold/silver standard.
In Russia, commoners buy paper gold at the bank, having a counter party risk. Putin likes gold, but only for the Russian central banks. Not so in China, people can buy real gold and take physical possession. In the US, the US Mint is pumping out eagle coinage with demand skyrocketing of late, in the presence of bullion shortages at the local coin shops. In the EU, with Euro-gold and Pound-gold at all time highs, small bullion coins and wafers are practically all sold out.
The US FRN, the dollar, is only a note that is only redeemable in, (well you guessed it), more FRNs, the ultimate currency racket. There is no longer a promise to pay in any thing other than more of the same paper fiat money of zero intrinsic value. The US, in civilizing the world over the last century, has run an impressive national debt, essentially funded of late by foreign forex reserves, with social programs expected to multiply that debt in the coming years. Maybe its finally time to redeem those FRNs, such as at a redeeming rate of say, 1B$/oz of gold, to wipe out the US national debt over night, and stiff the foreigners, and thereby make them pony up for the cost of using free and safe trade lanes made safe by the US global military police actions over the last century. This of course would have bullion winners and FRN losers in the US.
In forcing all countries to redeem fiat money in bullion, those with notes and bonds denominated in fiat would be the big losers, while those holding physical assets, such as bullion, would be the big winners, yet economies world wide would be free of national debts, banker enslaving rate-controlling racketeering, with payments of a relatively small amount of gold to redeem the notes, and hence, the global currency and economic global reboot, back to lawful constitutional money.
Bullion as the medium of exchange prevents international unfair trade practices. Bullion in the hands of the folk places economic, and in turn political power, in the hands of the people. By moving away from targeted inflationary fiat use, used to sustain an every increasing welfare state, socialistic economies, military projections, and bankster control over our lives, government and the people will have to live within their means, and hence, jungle capitalism will resurface as socialistic programs become untenable. There would be a global rebirth towards smaller governments, toward more pure capitalistic economies, toward less banking enslaving control over the lives of the people. There would be, (for the first time) real and honest politicians, real and honest budgets, real and honest international trade practices, as political and economical power shifts from the governments and the banks to people holding real and honest money.
Those countries with large gold and silver mines (China, US, Russia, Australia, Canada), with huge domestic fiat debts (US), with low forex holdings and exposure (US), with sound infrastructures (US, Australia), with relatively going economies (US, China and Australia), and with a culture of free enterprise (US and Australia and Canada) will do the best. The US and Australia will be best situated for the transition. Russia's oil empire will keep Russia afloat. Russia's strong man rule would move toward free and fair press and democratic elections. EU would move away from socialistic spending in a continental rebirth of raw capitalism. China would get a boost to their economy, only after the FOREX shock, and will have growing economic free speech that always leads to political free speech that in turn would lead to democratization of mainland China over the out years.
Putin, Hu, EU, and the foreign central banksters had all better be careful here, they all may just get his wish, the demise of the US FRN global dominance, and with it, the demise of strong-man rule, totalitarian control, bankster money economic controls, and socialistic influences in market economies, as they pay back, through their forex collapse, the US for the costs of civilizing the world, while the people of the world, using real and honest money become the new power brokers of the new world order.

I ask anyone why it is, according to his headlines, THAT ITS ONLY THE ISRALIS who are "straining" the truce. Does not Israel act ALWAYS, in response, in relatiation, yet, Its ISRAEL that is "straining" the truce. BS BS BS headlines of course. To be fair of couse, there is a reference to militants, NOT HAMAS terrorists on five year terror campaign,, but soft peddling "militants". Militants are no more than restless sign carrying demostrators, right? Those poor little militants, getting killed. They are freaking terrorists fire rockets INDISCRIMINATELY at jew population centers, with NO MILITARY OBJECTIVE, other than to provoke world sympathy for the Hamasians, intentionally sacraficing their toddling humand shields and generate hatred of the blood thirsty JEWS. Of course, its not politically correct to call them TERRORISTS, less AP, BBC, and CNN HQs get fire bombed, right? And lets not use that ISLAMOFASCIST characterization, well suited for AlQueda and IRANIAN sponsors, that would not be nice, right? But Israel STRAINS TRUCE, SCARS CHILDREN FOR LIFE, etc etc. That is a one-sided view, of course.

Israeli strike kills Gaza militant, strains truce By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer Ibrahim Barzak, Associated Press Writer
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – A missile from an Israeli aircraft struck a car traveling in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday, killing a Palestinian militant and further straining a truce with the territory's Hamas rulers.
Terror must be fought with force and lots of force," she said. "Therefore we will strike Hamas." The strike came as the Islamic militant group sent a delegation to Egypt in hopes of wrapping up a long-term cease-fire to Israel's three-week military offensive that killed nearly 1,300 Palestinians in Gaza. The truce is being negotiated by Egyptian mediators as Israel and Hamas refuse direct talks.A day earlier, Israel's prime minister threatened "harsh and disproportionate" retaliation for continued violations of the informal Jan. 18 cease-fire, which has been tested by sporadic Palestinian shelling attacks and Israeli airstrikes.In Monday's airstrike, the military said it targeted a group of militants who had fired mortar shells at Israel. Palestinian medical officials said a militant in the vehicle was killed, while a second occupant and two bystanders were wounded. The identities of the wounded were not immediately known.
Bill,
gee wiz, I guess we should have known it. When you have reporters with the names like:
IBRAHIM BARZAK
NASSER KARIMI
OMAR SINAN
I guess that pretty much says it all. Why dont they just rename AP, "The Militant Gazette", and call it like it is.

MOSCOW – President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday that Russia and its ex-Soviet allies wanted to cooperate with the United States on stabilizing Afghanistan but he appeared to link any help to changes in Western policy.
Saying Moscow and its allies "are ready for full-fledged, comprehensive cooperation," the Russian leader seemed to imply that Moscow's help on Afghanistan was contingent on a broader list of changes it wants from the new U.S. administration.
These include a halt to NATO enlargement in Europe and the cancellation of plans for a U.S. missile-defense system on Russia's western borders.
Medvedev spoke less than a day after Kyrgyzstan got billions in new Russian aid and announced it was evicting the U.S. from an air base key to Afghan operations. His mix of conciliatory language and implicit demand for U.S. concessions may represent a risky attempt to pursue conflicting strategic goals at a moment when U.S. policy on Afghanistan is being remade by President Barack Obama.
==========
So Russia in fear of spreading islamofascism in central asia, has reached out to the US to support operation Afghanistan, while providing Kygeristan with funds who come out and propose shutting down an important US base there.
Conflicted Russian Foreign policy?
They dont make mistakes. They dont do random.
(Borne Ultimatum)
Russia does not want Polish missile interceptors, and maybe looking to horse trade.
Obama response, invite Russia to join NATO and WTO, and request EU to admit RUSSIA!!!

CAIRO – Saudi Arabia said Wednesday that 11 men released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay are now on the kingdom's most-wanted list despite having attended its touted extremist rehabilitation program.
President Barack Obama has signed an executive order closing the detention center at the naval base in Cuba, leaving countries scrambling over what to do with released detainees.
Saudi Arabia and terror experts defended the program for terror suspects, saying it is largely effective. The Pentagon has said it's unlikely to change its policy on prisoner transfers to the kingdom. Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and home to 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers, has pursued an aggressive campaign against militants but also sought to rehabilitate those it believes can abandon their violent extremist beliefs and reintegrate into society. These rehab programs — and the kingdom's assurances that they are effective — have been a major reason why most of the Saudis have been released from Guantanamo. Only 13 of the 133 Saudis detained there remain, said Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman, Gen. Mansour al-Turki.
"Besides the 11 people (on the wanted list) who came from Guantanamo, there are still 106 people who have gone through this rehabilitation program and are doing OK," al-Turki told the Associated Press by phone. Three others committed suicide in Guantanamo. The 11 were on a list of 83 Saudis and two Yemenis wanted for their connections to al-Qaida issued Monday by the Saudi government. The government knows where the rest of the 106 former detainees are. Among the 11 were two Saudis who have emerged as the new leaders of Yemen's branch of al-Qaida. The two appeared in a militant video last month calling for attacks against Arab governments and Western interests.
"Imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for," Said Ali al-Shihri said during the video. Al-Shihri was jailed for six years in Guantanamo after his capture in Pakistan, and said he resurfaced as the branch's leader after completing the Saudi rehab program. The Saudi rehab program placed former Guantanamo detainees in secure compounds with facilities such as gyms and swimming pools. Imams gave them lessons on moderate Islam, and they met with psychologists and sociologists. Georgetown University terror expert Bruce Hoffman stressed that the vast majority of those going through the program have not rejoined extremist groups.
"I think it would be a mistake to view the program as a failure. Instead of looking at the 11, concentrate on the (others) who have not gone back to terror. ... I think the success has been remarkable," he said. The Pentagon also has said it is unlikely to stop prisoner transfers to Saudi Arabia. After the video of al-Shihri was released on extremist Web sites in January, Pentagon spokesman Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon said the U.S. sees the Saudi rehab program as admirable. "The best you can do is work with partner nations in the international community to ensure that they take the steps to mitigate the threat ex-detainees pose," Gordon said.
=============
Saudi Rehabilitation program is a good one, but we need public recanting on Aljareera, and public oaths to Allah not to engage in terror, and then to see some heads roll for back-sliders and pig skin wrapped sea burrials.

This will be the 4th state, NH, IN, CO and now MO to join the bi-currency trend.

And I said point blank I did not support because of weakness on Iran, but that I would support, Paul in 2012 on an independent ticket and I then copied the stuff, re the fed, new world order, bi-currency tryptich, etc, where I call for abolishment of the FED.
THEN 48 hours later, Ron Paul, proposes dumping the FED.
Mere coincidence, YOU MAKE THE CALL.

Bill OReilly,
Looks like Ron Paul is bucking for a 2012 Independent Run at the Presidency.
He has adopted my plan in part which importantly calls for: Abolishment of the FED and IRS, and return to real and honest gold/silver money, that prevent the socialists from over spending that enslaves all in the nanny state leading to destruction of self-reliance and productivity and our national freedoms.
Taxes only on CONSUMPTION (everyone support the government based upon personal glutany), REAL PROPERTY (for services rendered including police, fire, schools, trash etc.), and INHERITANCE (so that everyone has a equal and fair opportunity) Dont tax income or payroll in any way, let people keep it and save it, and take the gov cut when they die.
Economic freedom from enslaving government THIS IS HEART OF AMERICAN FREEDOM, which has been taken from us by the DC politicians and their enabling banksters.
WE WANT OUR FREEDOM BACK from oppressive centralized power in DC. VOTE PAUL (I) 2012
We needed 40 years of fiat from 1972 to show its inherent defect to the current generation that does not understand money or history.We needed a string of incompetent money managers in DC to drive the point home.We needed a collapse starting on REP GW's watch and perfected with the overspending on DEM Obama's watch, to reveal the same old DEM-REP mismanagement and FED ruination of the money and economy, so that, by 2012, the nation will be ready for bold new moves, to return our freedoms to us after 100 years of FED/IRS/FIAT enslavement, economic oppression of the people, and money and economic ruination.
HIS TIME WILL ARRIVE in 2012, mark my words, PAUL (I) 2012.

I have comtemplated a 6 carrier battle group blockade of Iran, with air wings and predator drone wings, but that may not be necessary, as a strong force right along the Iranian coast may be to risky, so stand off, with political support. Suppose CIA comes up with some sanction violations, real or made up, and OBAMA issues an inspection order to ENFORCE UN SANCTIONS, and places the fleet out near where the semoli pirates are operating, and stops all ships headed in toward Iran or out of Iran, as we need to stop all export of enriched uranium, and it TAKES MONTHS to search them all as they stand idle in the ocean just sitting there, effectively blockading but not called as such, through strung out iranian shipping delays (like what the Iranians did to the EU and UN and IAEA, pay back time) a couple of attack submarines could be used to sink a couple ships running the cordon, and with a declared search and seizure inspection cordon, (not actually calling it a blockade) may all that is needed to stifle exports/imports into/out of Iran, sufficient to tank the Iranian economy, giving rise to rebellion, and to enforce IAEA full compliance.
Call it an inspection cordon, for enforcing UN sanctions, and not an in your face blockade, but effectively doing the same, to enforce IAEA sanctions.

Dear Sir,
I know you are liberal, and I am conservative. But let not the body politic separate us, in this day of celebration, for the voting success in Iraq. Surely, Iraq will stand up and the insurgency is doomed. In retrospect, it is now abundantly clear that you, sir, made the difficult decisions, and put your political career at stake, and put your brave British lives on the front lines, for the advancement of freedom, democracy, and world peace. Had it not been but for your courage in gardening coalition support and doing the right-honorable thing, of advancing freedom in the face weak-minded opposition, we Americans would have suffered, not the lost of a couple of thousands of USA soldiers, but a lost of tens of thousands of lives, and, we Americans would have been in an absolute hell hole, and alone while getting slaughtered, with no end in sight. It was your bravery that has directly lead to the relatively quick democratic success in Iraq. There is no doubt in my mind, you are a true hero. Seldom in generations is the world blessed with such a leader who rises above politics and does the noble deed at great personal sacrifice to liberate 50,000,000 souls from tyranny and oppression. I am ashamed the USA Congress has disgracefully let political divisiveness deny you the laurels you justly deserve, and have yet to give you personally, their thanks. So, in stead, please accept my thanks and gratitude, for your courageous good work. I hope that you will eventually be recognized and honored in your life time for the job well done. God bless you.

A Presidential Medal for Tony Blair
What could be more hurtful than a close friend's ingratitude? His gratitude — at least if you're Tony Blair and the buddy in question is George W. Bush. Later today in a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, Bush is set to dole out a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Blair, Britain's former Prime Minister. Blair has earned the bauble — previous recipients include Nelson Mandela and Doris Day — "for [his] efforts to promote democracy, human rights and peace abroad," according to the White House. Blair's spokesman seemed to tacitly acknowledge that Blair is being feted as much for the exercise of hard power as soft, describing the medal as a "great honor" that "reflects the true courage of the men and women of the British armed forces."

Moscow Reacts to US Buildup in Afghanistan By F. William Engdahl*
5 February 2009 Moscow has correctly assessed that the announced Obama troop buildup in Afghanistan has no relevance to the stated aim of combatting the ‘Taliban’, but rather with a new attempt by the Pentagon strategists to encircle both Russia and China on Eurasia in order to retain US global military dominance.
=========
To me that was one heck of an article.
As I said, Russia wants to horse trade Polish missiles for afghan cooperation, as Russia faces the same islamofacist threat from central asia.When you have people like the author of the article above go off like that, it only reveals the bias of political orientation.
==========
The U.S. badly needs Russia's help in Afghanistan, and Moscow can't afford to let the NATO mission there fail for the sake of Russia's own security. But Russia will extract a geopolitical price for its cooperation — and the resulting bargaining process can be lucrative for those caught in between. That's the message of Tuesday's bombshell dropped by Kyrgyzstan: President Kurmanbek Bakiyev ordered the U.S. to close down an airbase in his tiny Central Asian country used to provide key air support for NATO forces in neighboring Afghanistan.

As Georgia Recedes, NATO Backs Off Tough Stance on Russia
Why Russia Is Flexing Its Muscles
The Kyrgyz leader's announcement came on the same day that militants in Pakistan blew up a key Khyber Pass bridge, cutting NATO's main supply line into Afghanistan and highlighting its vulnerability. And, of course, he happened to be standing alongside Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev at a Moscow news conference when he served notice on the U.S. to vacate the Manas air base. Moscow, in fact, had just promised to give Bakiyev a vital $2 billion economic bailout package. Russia's motivations, and its intentions, are ambiguous. (View images of NATO's vulnerable Pakistan supply route)The growing peril facing the Pakistani logistical route even as Washington plans to increase deployment of U.S. troops in Afghanistan has prompted the U.S. to turn to Russia for help. Last month, after visiting Moscow, CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus announced that the U.S. had reached a tentative agreement with Russia on using its territory to supply the Afghanistan mission. And Medvedev seemed keen to reaffirm that cooperation, even as Bakiyev made his announcement over the Manas base. "No one is trying to evade responsibility," Medvedev said, emphasizing that Russia and Kyrgyzstan would continue to cooperate with Western forces in Afghanistan. "But the forms of cooperation are to be agreed with partners." Translation: Russia will play ball, but only in the pursuit of its own interests, and as a full partner rather than simply as a favor to Washington. Russia's interests in the Afghan situation are far from simple. Moscow clearly sees Washington's need in Afghanistan as an opportunity to press for greater accommodation of some of its own priority concerns. Russia expects the Obama Administration to scale back U.S. plans to deploy a missile interceptor system on Russia's doorstep in Poland and the Czech Republic;
<=========
it also expects that the new team in Washington will abandon the Bush Administration's effort to press reluctant European allies to admit Ukraine and Georgia to NATO. <=========
But Russia also has a direct interest in the outcome in Afghanistan. Moscow has made clear that NATO failure in Afghanistan would be a disaster for Moscow, because a Taliban victory would spur an Islamist challenge all along Russia's southern flank. Better to have NATO stop the jihadists than to have to rely on Russian troops to do the job.But while Russia can't afford for NATO to fail in Afghanistan, it would not be comfortable seeing the U.S. prevail and boost its own position in Moscow's traditional Central Asian backyard — where the increasingly competitive geopolitics of energy supplies has ignited a new "great game" battle for influence between the rival powers. While it needs the Taliban to lose, Moscow doesn't necessarily want NATO to win, as such. Instead, it needs the outcome to strengthen Russia's own strategic position in its former Soviet sphere of influence. The Russians have made no secret of their desire to have a greater say in the political outcome in Afghanistan.President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin also want to start the relationship with the Obama Administration on a new footing, in which Russia is treated as an equal and a strategic partner. Moscow has underlined that it owes Washington no favors, and a cooperative relationship will come at a price. Much of this, of course, involves muscle flexing: Days after Obama had been elected, Russia announced that it would deploy medium range Iskander nuclear missiles in Kaliningrad, near the border with Poland, in response to Washington's planned missile shield. Just this week, Moscow quietly withdrew that threat.And then, of course, there are the strongmen of the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, for whom being caught in a battle for influence between Washington and Moscow has clear advantages. Bakiyev made clear that the Manas decision was a financial one — Russia was ponying up the cash, and Washington hasn't been paying enough, as far as the Kyrgyz leader is concerned. But he has given the Americans six months to vacate the base, and — well, a lot can happen in six months. U.S. officials say negotiations on the basing deal are ongoing. Given Russian indications, and the loopholes left by Bakiyev, the Manas base announcement may turn out to be just another muscle flexing designed to remind Washington that it will have to pay a price for Moscow's cooperation.

GOP
The GOP strategy should be: 1) Poo Poo the Dem spending on some particulars as unnecessary, not stimulating, frivolous, that kind of thing.2) Push from more tax cuts as a compromise to the DEM led spending. 3) Agree to the Stimulous Package and get it passed. With the DEMs in control of both house, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A REPUBLICAN bill in all particulars. GIVE IT UP, get a package passed. COMPROMISE on the spending and for more tax cuts. Tax cut are the most important thing, that drives investment and quickly puts money in the hands of the folks. Montetary DICIPLINE is out, for the next couple of years, we all know that, get what you can while you can, to avoid depression. Dont fight it. Rather, secure for the right base as much tax cuts as possible.
CUT & SPEND compromise is required RIGHT NOW. Derrick
Bill OReilly, (who won the election) Of course, when you talk in terms of 800, 817, 900, and 1T$ of revenue deficits, Ala the current STIMULUS BILL, you will have the left/right posturing by the politicians, and the pundits jumping pounding the table, one way or other, and both sides make good points, the right wanting a bill that directly stimulates, whereas the left wants to throw in allot of leftest social goodies, which is perceived to trickle into the general economy anyway, so what the difference other than IDEOLOGY. That is, money is money, its circulates and velocity increases, and you reflate. So its direct stimulus of the right versus pet left projects with indirect stimulus, the idelological posturing. TYPICAL of congress. With no one on the right having a clue as to the explosion of the derivatives and the consequences we now face, it seems that these the right guys, dont have much room to argue that their directness in affects is really any better that the trickle affect of the left. I dont like the socialists in DC. but, it seems OBAMA should prevail on the package, and we go with WHO WON THE ELECTION. Trust me, even if the Republicans got all they wanted, that 800B$ package wont be enough, as we will need at least 2 more such bills of that size, to just stabilize the economy, the next needed bill within 6 months, and so, the reps can come back in six months and pound their chests and say WE TOLD YOU SO, make political hey, and pass another 1T$ stimulus package,but with the dems in control, the goodies are going to sneak in the packageS anyways, so PASS THE FREAKING BILL ALREADY.

Did anyone watch OBAMA address the democrats last night. Something about it just did not sit well with me, how about you. I am talking about rally gang, like PeeLously, et al. I am talking about DEFICIT spending needs, Obama's use many times of the word CRISES, and he even used the word CATASTROPHY, yet, THOSE BIG WHITE TEETH were seen constantly, with the jokes to the DEM faithful. I mean, doom and gloom talking never got anyone anywhere, and injecting PANIC into the people is not a wise thing either, but with the world in PANIC mode, markets spiraling out of the control, with words like CRISES and CATASTROPHY being thrown around, I dont think it was POLITICALLY CORRECT to rally the dems with SMILES and JOKES, do you? THIS AINT NO FREAKING LAUGHING MATTER. OBAMA should change his tones a little bit, PEOPLE ARE GETTING HAMMERED out there in the real world, AND IT AINT FUNNY, (at least to me).

Real Money Bills and My Comments
THE INTENT OF THE GOLD/SOUND MONEY BILL
AND EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION FOR ANY STATE
For use to introduce the concept of Gold/Sound Money to others
including your elected officials.
~ The Gold/Sound Money Bill would provide CONSTITUTIONAL Money - Money of True Value
rather than money based on "debt" - to your State Treasury to AUGMENT (NOT replace)
Bi-currency ?========== I predicted this in 2005
the Federal Reserve Note system (FRNs) currently being used. It has been called an example of "A Constitutional Competing Currency Bill."
~ Initially a state would REQUIRE tobacco suppliers, and/or others of the so-called "sin" industries
(liquor, casinos, etc.) in your state, to pay their state fees and taxes in Gold/Sound Money (Gold and/or Silver coin, based on weight, Not face value, OR the digital equivalent).
Federal Intervetion FRN "legal tender for all debts public and private ?========== BIG PROBLEM
This would supply your state Treasury with the needed specie (funding in coin) or the digital equivalent
"digital equivalent" ?============== counter party risk, BAD IDEA
of funds to assure that your state would NOT need to earmark or provide any other separate funds. This ensures that your alternative Gold/Sound Money model will function from the very beginning. Once the Gold/Sound Money model is up and running, other businesses and citizens, so inclined, would also be encouraged, on a volunteer basis, to use this system for payments to or from your state.
The Gold/Sound Money system is Voluntary for those so inclined, but MANDATORY for the industries indicated above.
madatory for indicated industries ?========== DISCRIMINATION of interstate commerce, BAD IDEA
A citizen or other business could, however, participate in the Gold/Sound Money system at any level they wished, and would not be tied to using the system
for All transactions with the state, but at a level and frequency each could determine for themselves. The Gold/Sound Money system can function as both a One-Way system or a Two-Way system depending on the citizen's or non-mandatory business's wishes.
MUST BE TO-WAY FIAT and REAL money usage ?=======for ease of transistion
Each could just receive Gold/Sound Money from the state as a receivable system or use it for paying obligations to the state or a combination of both. If one worked for the state he/she could receive their weekly /monthly pay as Gold/Sound Money, in total, or as just a portion.
~ The Gold/Sound Money system is nothing more than a way of providing people and businesses with an alternative to being compelled to use Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs)
WRONG APPROACH ?=== Real money usage allows people to hold real money, not subject to Fed debasement, and spend with/without fiat exchange as desired
for business or private transactions by using real money of "true value" as opposed to FRNs which are actually "debt" instruments. There could come a day when these "debt" instruments may no longer be viable.
The Gold/Sound Money Bill, in the interim, could help people become familiar with this alternative
to carrying on business. It would also be a way for states to get their own houses in order and
start conforming to the Constitution which the states are obligated to support.
~ The Gold/Sound Money Bill, which is compatible for any of the 50 states, was written by the
very well known Constitutional scholar and practicing Constitutional lawyer, Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr,
who has numerous wins in the Supreme Court on Constitutional issues. The current Indiana version, which includes the addition of the digital component when using Gold/Sound Money, is available for viewing at http://indianahonestmoney.com ...and is available to capture and print off or download. The Gold/Sound Money Bill was researched extensively over many years and written to conform specifically with the Constitution !
~ The Gold/Sound Money Bill was modified (the addition of a digital component for ease of use) since it was originally introduced into the New Hampshire legislature back in 2004. This addition
will make it easier for people to use Gold/Sound Money on a day to day basis. The previous argument against having to use unwieldy coins in transactions was put to bed with this twist of being able to also use a digital equivalent.
Digital equivalent defeat the purpose, put real money in the hands of the folks ?=======
There are compatible systems already in place that deal in the transfer of digital Gold and Silver and these systems would be able to dovetail nicely with The Gold/Sound Money Bill. Many can be funded by bank wire transfer or some other intermediary.
WRONG APPROACH, <=====cash and carry is the approach, with banks required to provide real money accounts, in a bi-curreny system
Some of these, that might be considered to serve as the interface with the states. are: c-gold, e-gold, goldmoney.com, GoldExchange, CrowneGold, Liberty Reserve, Pecunix, London Gold
Exchange, etc. Each state would choose one or a combination to serve as its interface(s) based
on pedigree, reputation, reliability, and scalability.
One system, of which I'm familiar, uses both Gold and Silver that is insured by Lloyd's of London and stored in secured, monitored and audited vaults, and can be transferred digitally to anyone with an account - such as the one set up and utilized by your state. The monthly storage and transfer fees are very reasonable for this secure, digital delivery system. Your state would simply set up an account and a citizen or vendor would do the same and use the account to either pay or receive digital Gold or Silver (or actual coins at your state treasury). Some of the interfaces have accounts with bullion suppliers which allows citizens to actually convert account assets into physical Gold or Silver and have it sent directly to them.
~ Think of The Gold/Sound Money Bill as an Insurance Policy for your state. If our fiat money system ever fails to function, then your state will have a system Up and Running to help
businesses and people function. Besides, as mentioned above, your state will, finally, again be in
full compliance with the Constitution for the United States of America. "No state shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts..." Article 1, Section 10.
THE BI-CURRENCY APPROACH is one that enable the use of real money within a state, subject to market trades between fiat and real money, that allows PEOPLE to hold their real money, which is not subject to Federal debasement, and allow PEOPLE to trade in bullion, buy/sell in bullion. So, the state Mint real money coinage, require banks to bullion accounts, (check book, with real money banked at the banks, and allows for the use of real money in commerce, (at official exchange rates AT TIME OF buy/sell).
============
I have developed a comprehensive view of the world, The Global Confluence driven by Human Cultural Evolution. Within the objective of world cooperation, is the concept of FREEDOM, that is defined by the high five, GOD GOLD GUNS LAND and VOTE. Within this, is my proposal (now adopted by Paul) is to abolish the FED/IRS/FIAT money, the means by which government ensalve its citizens. I am trying to do, as a private citizen of the world, is advise world leaders on HOW to perfect to the confluence, and solve their problems, and very often my suggestions appear to be adopted, by subsequent news reports. With respect to GOLD, I am a real money believer, as gold is at the heart of FREEDOM.
I will not be taking any active role in states attempting to use real money. I will, when news hits the wire, absorb it all into my thinking. My "real money" memo does not address the three key aspects that the states would want to use, as it is trade secret information, for now, but not for long.

Lawmakers in 20 states move to reclaim sovereignty
Obama's $1 trillion deficit-spending 'stimulus plan' seen as last straw
Posted: February 06, 2009, 11:50 pm Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi © 2009 WorldNetDaily
Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon
NEW YORK – As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.
So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington. Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania. "What we are trying to do is to get the U.S. Congress out of the state's business," Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Randy Brogdon told WND.
Congress is completely out of line spending trillions of dollars over the last 10 years putting the nation into a debt crisis like we've never seen before," Brogdon said, arguing that the Obama stimulus plan is the last straw taxing state patience in the brewing sovereignty dispute. "This particular 111th Congress is the biggest bunch of over-reachers and underachievers we've ever had in Congress," he said. "A sixth-grader should realize you can't borrow money to pay off your debt, and that is the Obama administration's answer for a stimulus package," he added.
The Ninth Amendment reads, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The Tenth Amendment specifically provides, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Brogdon, the lead sponsor of the Oklahoma state senate version of the sovereignty bill, has been a strong opponent of extending the plan to build a four-football-fields-wide Trans-Texas Corridor parallel to Interstate-35 to Oklahoma, as WND reported.
Rollback federal authority
The various sovereignty measures moving through state legislatures are designed to reassert state authority through a rollback of federal authority under the powers enumerated in the Constitution, with the states assuming the governance of the non-enumerated powers, as required by the Tenth Amendment. The state sovereignty measures, aimed largely at the perceived fiscal irresponsibility of Congress in the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, have gained momentum with the $1 trillion deficit-spending economic stimulus package the Obama administration is currently pushing through Congress. Particularly disturbing to many state legislators are the increasing number of "unfunded mandates" that have proliferated in social welfare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, in which bills passed by Congress dictate policy to the states without providing funding. In addition, the various state resolutions include discussion of a wide range of policy areas, including the regulation of firearms sales (Montana) and the demand to issue drivers licenses with technology to embed personal information under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and the Real ID Act (Michigan).
Hawaii's measure calls for a new state constitutional convention to return self-governance, a complaint that traces back to the days it was a U.S. territory, prior to achieving statehood in 1959. "We are trying to send a message to the federal government that the states are trying to reclaim their sovereignty," Republican Rep. Matt Shea, the lead sponsor of Washington's sovereignty resolution told WND. "State sovereignty has been eroded in so many areas, it's hard to know where to start," he said. "There are a ton of federal mandates imposed on states, for instance, on education spending and welfare spending."
Shea said the Obama administration's economic stimulus package moving through Congress is a "perfect example." "In the state of Washington, we have increased state spending 33 percent in the last three years and hired 6,000 new state employees, often using federal mandates as an excuse to grow state government," he said. "We need to return government back down to the people, to keep government as close to the local people as possible." Shea is a private attorney who serves with the Alliance Defense Fund, a nationwide network of about 1,000 attorneys who work pro-bono. As a counter to the ACLU, the alliance seeks to protect and defend religious liberty, the sanctity of life and traditional family values.
Republican state Rep. Judy Burges, the primary sponsor of the sovereignty resolution in the Arizona House, told WND the federal government "has been trouncing on our constitutional rights." "The real turning point for me was the Real ID act, which involved both a violation of the Fourth Amendments rights against the illegal searches and seizures and the Tenth Amendment," she said. Burges told WND she is concerned that the overreaching of federal powers could lead to new legislation aimed at confiscating weapons from citizens or encoding ammunition.
"The Real ID Act was so broadly written that we are afraid that it involves the potential for "mission-creep," that could easily involve confiscation of firearms and violations of the Second Amendment," she said. Burges said she has been surprised at the number of e-mails she has received in support of the sovereignty measure. "We are a sovereign state in Arizona, not a branch of the federal government, and we need to be treated as such, she insisted.
========================
I was very very impressed with OBAMA's first new conference last night, 2/9/09. The guy is definitely articulate, knows the issues, and explains the need for stimulus. Sure, he is a lefty promoting big government, and recoginized the ideological differences, and explain them as such, but that this is not the time to stand ground of ideology. He got back to his indirect spending will still put money into the economy. I was very pleased. As our first black president, I really want him to succeed in the most difficult of times, even if a lefty.

notice 28078 hits on the thread "china transforms north korea", seven months after I stopped writing, many are still reading it, as it IS recommended reading for the newbies, who are taken back by the conspiracy under every rock Leftist dominated attitude. There is some fun stuff in the thread. I particularly liked The Texas Rodeo, Bush 04 Campaign Diary, 08 Election Demographics, WHERE's MY CHECK, and of course the KKK-DDD dance at the Grand O'Opry. Newbies should pay very close attention to the triptych on Bi-currency world predictions and the run of late by states seeking bi-currency regimes, and international pressure going on right now to dethrone the FRN are the world reserve currency, and the sought after freedom driving a move toward real money driving the world toward free trade.
"china transforms north korea" is now required newbie cafe reading, because only there do you get the "impartial" view of the whole freaking world. What the newbies should find amazing is the over all directions predicted a few years back, and where we are heading now.
And it is only fitting that today, MY PREDICTIONS, are brought out mainstream, finally.
Wall Street Journal Picks Up On
Indiana Honest Money Bill
Wall Street Journal Opinion Columnist Judy Shelton says: "Let's abolish legal tender laws and go back to the Gold Standard."
Her piece entitled "Capitalism Needs a Sound-Money Foundation" suggests that the Fed needs some competition, and muses: Abolish legal tender laws and see whose money people trust.
The article starts out: "Let's go back to the gold standard. "If the very idea seems at odds with what is currently happening in our country with Congress preparing to pass a massive economic stimulus bill that will push the fiscal deficit to triple the size of last year's record budget gap it's because a gold standard stands in the way of runaway government spending."

What else can be said? You dont have to like my politics, most will not, that is expected, but, just consider the global culture driving all things.
People basically want FREEDOM.
Freedom comprises GOD GOLD GUNS LAND & VOTE.
As global people seek these things, wars are reduced, fiat is abolished, the end game.

MOSCOW, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Russian industrial output contracted by a fifth in January, the biggest monthly fall in the series' seven-year history, according to data on Monday that heightens the risk the economy will shrink more than expected in 2009. Slowing demand at home and abroad due to the global financial crisis meant output fell 19.9 percent in January compared with the previous month. It declined 16 percent from a year earlier, steeper than the 11.5 percent drop that had been expected by economists.

Last Night I heard that in 2008, Russia had 569 billionairs, and today its 128, as the Oligarch take it in the rouble, all running to gold and USD.

Vladimir Solovyov said Tuesday's smashup of a derelict Russian military satellite and a working U.S. Iridium commercial satellite occurred some 500 miles (800 kilometers) above Earth — the busiest part of near-Earth space.
"800 kilometers is a very popular orbit which is used by Earth-tracking and communications satellites," Solovyov told reporters. "The clouds of debris pose a serious danger to them."
Solovyov told reporters even tiny fragments could pose a serious threat to spacecraft made of light alloys because both travel at such a high speed.
Most fragments are concentrated near the collision course, but Maj.-Gen. Alexander Yakushin, chief of staff of the Russian military's Space Forces, said some debris was thrown into other orbits, ranging from 300 to 800 miles (500-1,300 kilometers) above Earth.
The U.S. military already tracks 18,000 objects in orbit, but no one has any idea yet exactly how many extra pieces of space junk were generated by the collision or how big they might be. Space experts say the collision created hundreds of fragments, maybe thousands, if tiny pieces are included
==============
So, you think space is HAD?
Well your truly has been patenting new machines that gobble up space debris.
United States Patent 6,655,637
Robinson December 2, 2003
Spacecraft for removal of space orbital debris
Abstract A deorbiting spacecraft includes a grabber for grabbing an orbiting debris object in space and a deorbitor for deorbiting the debris object. The grabber includes inflatable fingers with loop eyes for bending inflated fingers around and to grab the space debris object using controlled motors and tension lines. The deorbitor is a dragsphere for deorbiting low earth orbit debris objects into the atmosphere for burn up, or is a surface for collecting solar wind for pushing the debris into an outer disposal orbit, or is a thruster for transorbiting a high earth orbit debris object to an outer waste orbit.

There are those humanists, who are self-proclaim gods unto themselves. Well until you humanists can explain to me WHAT set off the big bang, or why E=MC2, or why the speed of light is constant, I will go super-natural, and not Dr. Frankenstein. A world without god, is a brutal police state keeping the all the arrant humanists in line, becase they need to be kept in line, as the STATE is the only authority that will be respected, with a world of fiat that enslaves, a word of freedoms denied in guns, a world of banksters with their interest enslaving the masses to fiat induced inflation and interest payments of land. Yet, they rely on the VOTE, to dismantle the church complex and destroy personal resposibility, self-respect, personal giving, and personal self-reliant, so that we all only pray to the STATE for our free-lunch, free health-care, free retirement, yet in its grand duplicity, states are not our brother's keepers in the law, yet the state forces people to so, rather than relying on the god's gift of love from the church-complex.
You humanists can have your fiat, your irresponsiblity, your self unreliance, your enslavement, as I will believe is real freedom, based in the high five, GOD GOLD GUNS, LAND and VOTE, and will not throw away any of them, only to be then imprisoned by the STATE and its secular progressivism. God commands that I give willingly. The state commands that I give in taxes to support the welfare state or go to jail. There is your compassion, build the STATE-GOD so that the STATE controls your lives. The state enforces its sense of compassionate giving that is really a blind for imprisonment. The state will destroy God and your freedom to act as you believe, take your guns and your right to defend yourself from others and the state, suppress your gold so that the bankster interest will enslave all, tax your land and restrict its use so no one can hide from the long arm of the enslavers, and will fraudulently pander your votes with false promises and false direction to give the state even more power to control your lives. The high five (GOD GOLD GUNS LAND and VOTE) is what keeps you free, in thought and deed and rights. Give up any of them, and you might as well stand in line for your bama-bucks, every self-disrespective weak blasphimer will, as if they are entitled. Pigs are happy to eat free food in a pig sty, with freedom abandoned. You only become free when you mind is free in the first place to understand what it is. God almighty is the giver of life and joy and belief in someting more that the state mandates. I know. Life and death is but a biological presence, but joy and real help for living is through teachings of sound morals and life styles that God commands. Its the spirit thing that works for me to do the right thing without the STATE mandating my every move. Some theologians say that the gift of the holy spirit, that thing that has put a spark in my life since 13, comes from god, that its god's will, and I am thankful to be so selected, because why god would give a rech like such undeserving joy, is beyond words. But, I dont know about keeping it to myself, in the cafe, as my prayers have been answered 3-0, and that's a hat trick, thus far, with Bill hanging in the balance for a grand slam, so, I am keeping fingers crossed and trust in God's mercy. It works for me.
Dang, 3-0 for cafe members,
PATON: I want that chaplin decorated.
Excuse me now, got to do an exercism on another cafe member. It is interesting to me how offended non-believers get, as they dont like any judgments laid down upon them for their decadent lack of morality, because they want to be accepted, by the moral core. Being told you are going to hell for your selfish dehumanizing humanism, like the gay thing, or simply shunned by the moral mainstream, is just unacceptable to the humanists, yet, they want to be accepted by the moral majority, which aint going to happen, when they live decadent life styles and believe in the almighty state. Looked down upon as subhuman, possibly, pitied maybe, prayed for at times for their wicked and sinful ways often, but just accepted as is, no thanks, I have to be true to myself, and call it like I see it. Man has been both a spiritual being with earthly man in greed, power, and lust, and the ONLY thing keeping greed, power, and lust running open loop, is the feedback system, and here it is. It is sugggested by God give the problems, and yes, the crosses borne or punishment or his will. Dont try to suppose his will, but prayer and answers are rewarding. Its faith.
DECADENT HUMANISM destroys Humanity.

If silver goes to 30/oz as hoped, and I catch it good, I intend to cover the loss. Sebastian is on it, praying for success, of course. Let's see. Paton: I want that chaplin decorated!!! REMEMBER, feel your compassion, and give GOD his piece of the action, the utlimate mob boss, doing good work, WITHOUT THE FREAKING STATE TAKING MY MONEY to feed their decadent agenda, and welfare, SS, all of it, is godless socialism. Abolish the FED/IRS/SS/Welfare/FIAT!!

Sebastian,
That is one nice church, and it looks like you are the only father "na stancia".
Are you going to stay there awhile? Did you finally find a home?
Do you go to Vladivostok anymore?
So, you need money. Same old Sebastian, always looking for a free buck, hat in hand.
In the movie Paton, the general wanted to redirect his 3rd Army north in the middle of winter, to relieve the besieged US garrison in Bastogne in 1944 in the battle of the bulge, and told his chaplin he wanted a prayer for good weather. And the weather broke, and Paton was successful, and said, that chaplin is in good with god, I WANT HIM DECORATED!!!! I want to decorate you, as well. I am concerned about your potential loss with the BANK. So, IF YOU DONT GET BACK YOUR 750,000r, let me kown. First understand, that Banksters and counter-party risks are a big no-no these days.
So, say a prayer for my success, if you wish. I might be successful, and be able to decorate my idian-russian-english chaplin. My salary went up 60% this year, yet I belong to no church, a lost soul floating in the wind chasing money. But maybe, just maybe, I might be able to help you. I am not big on REGULAR donations and things, but if something hits my fancy, then, I might move, in one time shots. If you loose your 3/4 million rubles, I would want to know all about it, I might be able to help you cover the loss, if in your darkest hour.

No He Can't
by Anne Wortham
Fellow Americans,
Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of America ..
I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival – all that I know about the history of the United States of America, all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician.
I would have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts has come to America.
Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century.
I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them.
I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration – political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
I would have to believe that "fairness" is the equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.
Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead – and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.
So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a black man to the office of the president of the United States, the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over – and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like.
The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a black person. So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to – Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.
But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine – what little there is left – for the chance to feel good. There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness. NO HE CANT

Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!!

I always thought it strange that Russia would say that its stragetic metal reserves were state secret, which goes back to stalin. Yet Russia, trying to get into the WTO I suppose, discloses its bank reserves, these days. Did you see where Putin warned the world not to screw with its economy, which goes back to Regean, and using market manipulation to take down an enemy. I suppose the power of the paper purse is just tempting. Then I think, maybe ft knox gold is all gone, and the US has declared that fact a state secret unbeknowst to us all. That would make sense, would it not?

California Struggles to Close a Projected $41 Billion Deficit
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
Published: February 16, 2009
LOS ANGELES — The state of California — its deficits ballooning, its lawmakers intransigent and its governor apparently free of allies or influence — appears headed off the fiscal rails.
Since the fall, when lawmakers began trying to attack the gaps in the $143 billion budget that their earlier plan had not addressed, the state has fallen into deeper financial straits, with more bad news coming daily from Sacramento. The state, nearly out of cash, has laid off scores of workers and put hundreds more on unpaid furloughs. It has stopped paying counties and issuing income tax refunds and halted thousands of infrastructure projects.
================
oh yeah, lets import a few more million criminal illegal mexicans, give em DNC cards and citizenship so the DEMs have lock on control in California, and this place will be destitute. Already is, financially. Dems have worked wonders here and across this great land.
============
It has to be panic, dollar up to 87.62 in the presence of OBama's leftist bag of goodies, (the tax cut were good, though, but I suppose they had to throw the Reps a bone, to get global warming funding, and free gay dillos to high schoolers, and condoms to elementary kids, and free curb side season tickets to SF gay parades for being good in class, that is, being the teacher's pet.)
===========
Im just one of the old dumb phuks, you know, WASP middle aged male, who worked his entire life, you know THE BAD GUY, that society can pounce on, and steal hard earn money, to feed the socialistic crap, that destroys self-reliance, and leads to a society of spineless godless decadent socialists, THAT I HAVE TO FEED, CARE FOR, HOUSE, EMPLOY, PENSION, because I worked hard, but dang, if I am reincarnated, I will be disadvantaged, some how, Im tried of the White Male crap that everyone gang piles on. I look on the company wall, BLACK HISTORY MONTH, (big phucking deal), where is the WHITE MALE MONTH, you know that BUILT THIS COUNTRY FROM NOTHING), nada, but we got asians, mexicans, fruitloop holidays galore.
Screw this hard working WHITE MALE MORAL CRAP,
it just dont pay me for what I earn, it pays everyone else to leach on me, and when in heck did I become the mandatory god-father to every SO-CALLED disadvanged person or non-white group in this country? (A dem must have done it me, hhmm Wilson was a ??, FDR was a ? LBJ was a ?, hhmmmm. In my next life, I want to come back as a poor deaf dumb blind crippled black child, with plad pants, and black hornrim glasses, (oh already have the glasses), and just drink cool-aid on the porch, with my unemployed parents who need to take care of me, and dream of the day the gov give us a COLA raise, off the back of some guy working for it.
==========
You GD socialistic liberals and your run amuck, uncontainable, compassion, has now TAKEN US ALL DOWN.
You feel good? A-Hs! And where the heck are you going now get your loot to enslave through dependency your voter roll call, to whom you pandered the goodies to keep them loyal voters, if you take us all down, with your so-called compassion, which is really misplaced decadence. You dont give through tax collection, you destroy through tax collection, the source of income that could be FREELY GIVEN. But to ensure that that FREELY GIVEN attitude is suppressed, to make sure the almight state dictates, you then seek through your social secular progressivism to remove GOD and MORALITY (are you listening up JON?), from the public place, to make sure that ALL ARE ENSLAVED to the government's compassion that destroys self reliance, and self respect. No longer can we cull the heard, with winners and losers, and now, its only LOSERS, all of us.
Every liberal is, by my definition, an obscene manifestation of forced-fed decadent socialilstic enslavement of human kind, destroying independence, self reliance, self respect, and ultimately the productivity necessary to feed the whole. When you take down the productive with taxes to promote your welfare, you special studies, your social security, your unemployment compensation, (can you believe that, actually paying people not to work, how phuked up is that?), then who do you suck off of? Eat dirt and die with your always insufficient government tax collections to feed your socialistic decadence and ruination of us all.
========
The Dems won, but we all lost. It may have been a bit better with McCain, but not by much, with the Rep leaning center with their compassionate conservativism. And it is fitting that Reid-Peloozie-Obama, the tri axis of decadent immoral socialistic evil reign over the finacial ruination of this once MORAL SELF-RELIANT SELF-RESPECTING PRODUCTIVE country.
Its called the negative feed back loop, for the uninformed.
==========
Dang, I just love a good rant!! down boy, down, ... I just get so excited.
==========
Jason Hommel is picking up on my "enslavement" theme flowing from the combination of the FED/FIAT/IRS/SOCIALTISM thing.
Silver is telling us that for too long, families and corporations and governments have preferred to voluntarily enslave themsleves with unpayable debts of paper money that was created by a government granted monopoly given to the Federal Reserve, who increasingly rules without the approval or knowledge of Congress.
The economic failures of today are the failures of slavery. Even when debts are entered into voluntarily, to an entity with a government granted monopoly, it's not really freedom.

MY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!
I had hoped that you would have become PM back in March 06. (See Below) But now it looks like you are in as PM now. (See Below) You have many supporters here in the US, especially ther US political base of the war hawks here in the states. We do want you put up a strong anti-terror front about Israel, to help secure the northern flank on the war on terror. We do support you, in this mission, and wish you success. But please let me give you some advise. We Americans, no matter how quick we are to pick up a gun to defend liberty, can also drop a gun dropping support to ENSLAVERS, denying JUST FREEDOM. We American want all responsible peoples FREED. This is a core AMERICAN BELIEF. Do not dismiss it out of hand. Let Isreali pay FMV for any settlement, with Arab consent at a fair price. DO NOT ENGAGE in any more land grabs, as that is counterproductive. PAY UP!!!
In Fighting Terror, you become the long term peace maker.In keeping W.Bank enslaved, you become an evil, in American eyes. ABBAS in the west bank has remained CIVIL, and has controlled palestinians in the WEST BANK. We American cherish freedom for responsible people, and here FREEDOM is deserved by Fataw performance in Ramalah. YOU MUST keep a firm hand suppressing TERROR, but you must ALSO never forget where we all want to go, and that is peace. POUND HAMAS, enslave GAZA, FREE W.BANK as the new state of palestine under ABBAS. (Please review attached memo re the GAZA Jan 09 campaign).
HAMAS, take em out, WITH HOPE. Read it, and understand it. Please do not dismiss these words of advise out of hand. OBAMA will and must put the screws to you and Israel and free the W.Bank, deservingly so. Dont fight it, go along with it, and get some goodies, now that OBAMA has opened up the US Treasury, as a free for all. Take advantage of that, but DO THE RIGHT THING, free the W.Bank under ABBAS, and DO IT NOW!!!
Best of Luck, your pal.

JERUSALEM – Israeli President Shimon Peres chose hard-line Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to form a new Israeli government, giving Netanyahu six weeks to cobble together a coalition.The question now is whether Netanyahu will form a narrow government with his hard-line allies or a broad government along with his centrist rival, Kadima Party leader Tzipi Livni. His choice will have serious ramifications for the Mideast peace process.Peres made his announcement early Friday afternoon after holding meetings with Netanyahu and Livni. An official ceremony appointing Netanyahu was to be held shortly afterward.Peres had been meeting political leaders as he decided which candidate would be given the task of forming a new coalition in the aftermath of Israel's national election last week.The choice of Netanyahu was cemented on Thursday when Avigdor Lieberman, who heads the hawkish Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) party, endorsed the Likud leader.Kadima edged out Likud in the election, capturing 28 seats to Likud's 27. But Likud is in a better position to put together a coalition because of gains by Lieberman and other hard-line parties.Netanyahu now can form a hard-line government or bring Livni into a broad coalition that would provide more stability and help Israel avoid a clash with the Obama administration and much of the world.

1/4 Derrick Michael Reid - When Smart Bombs Pop over Tehran, Gold will Pop to over $1000/oz
When Smart Bombs Pop over Tehran, Gold will Pop to over $1000/oz
A melt down is on the near horizon, far exceeding that of Chernobyl Ukraine, but this time, will be intentionally done, probably by summer, and Gold will pop to over $1000/oz, virtually over night, and maybe to $1500/oz. With moderate-of-late Sharon out of the political picture with a stroke, it will be difficult for Perez to hold the middle ground in Israel's politics to secure a centrist political party victory supporting Palestinian statehood and unilateral withdraw and moderation, as the Likud party chief, and former Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu resurfaces from the shadow's of the parting Sharon. It wont take long either after the March Israeli election.
Netanyahu wont mess around with Iran by begging for useless endless negotiations as are the EU-3 presently doing with Iran. Israel is relatively immune to Iran's threaten oil price increases, and will strike from the get go. Israel already has a massive stock pile of 2000 bunkerbusters and has a vast array of anti-missile batteries to counter the Salaam III 1500-mile range Iranian missiles. It wont matter what Iran says, truth or not, Israel will defend itself from being "wiped off the map". The Israeli knows that a vote for Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmer, Sharon's present 2nd, now tainted with the middle of the road tact, is too dangerous, in the presence of being threaten to be "wiped off the map", as the Iranian President has recently proposed. With Israel in fear of growing threats and extinction from Iran, Israelis will fall back on the old warrior, Netanyahu, as a necessary vote to defang Iran and preserve Israel.
Based on history, Netanyahu will act and act quickly, before summer. With multiple wars, oil supply uncertainty, vast fiat money printing, and global moves by central banks to buy gold in a supply deficit market, it is a no-brainer where gold will go this year. Gold will be in the four digits by July 4th, but initiated with a more impressive fire work show than that ever seen in a USA ballpark. The hard line Likud chief, Benjamin Netanyahune, will move as the bold man he is. Is there really any choice? Is there really any doubt?
The big surprise this day was the lack of a big gold move to the upside. The Gold Cartel must have been in play big time this day, or no one has their eyes open. This may be the cause of staggering open interest driving force in today's action. An ominous indicator may be, of course, the acquisition of jet fighter airborne tankers for the roundabout trip around Arabia, to Tehran. However, I see that as a military ruse, as Israel will directly violate Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, while faking delay to get the tankers, and will go for the jugular, hitting missile batteries and nuke facilities in a massive week long strike.
The USA will be out of this one, ostensibly, having its hands full in Iraq, but would love to hear an end to the "Death to America" screams, as the USA covertly supplies Israel with logistic support. Bush has been waiting a long time for Iraq to stabilize before taking action against Iran, knowing full well, the EU-3 would fail, especially after Iran rebuffed Russia's deal to process nuke material in Russia. Sharon's parting now trumped that delay, and Netanyahune will strike. What other choice does Netanyahune really have? NONE!!!

Putin may be doing us all a favor, though I dont think he is smart to understand the long term consequences of returning the world to the gold standard, WHICH IS THE ONLY solution. The only way you are going to get all these countries to dump their fiat, and hence, the FRN reserve currency, is by global treaty, and that means redeeming all FRNs, and only way that happens, is, well you guessed it, 1 BILLION $ an ounce of gold. US makes out big there, and reboots the US system, but now with real money, and the welfare state takes a big hit, and freedom is resurrected in the US after 100 years of enslavement.

To all,
The DOW market tanked below support, and 6200 in the DOW is now firmly in the cards, and many many more will lose their life savings. It is so terrible, the economic catastrophe that has befallen upon the world economy. For us real money believers, today was a good day for gold, and a bad day for paper fiat. Freedom, real freedom is based in the high five, GOD GOLD GUNS LAND and VOTE. And on this day that god's money, gold and silver, from antiquity, which can not be cheated, that has no liabilities, has no counter party risks, which cannot be just printed at will, nor inflated or deflated by cheating banksters and governmental socialists, lets all understand where we are going, as a global people, and that is to a revival of God in our lives and a return to real honest money.
As far as the doom and gloom goes, I know people are and will suffer in these bad financial times, but most of that suffering is and will be MENTAL, worrying over lost riches or mere comforts of life, yet, when you hold hands with your maker and savior, through life, your personal lot does not matter all that much, (at least I hope I have not been made greedy in counting gold and silver coins), as I am of the same heart during both good and bad times, and, its not me who loses control in the worst of times, but rather, I keep the faith, as I always do, and at that point, one then feel mostly the compassion for our fellow humans who are really lost, without an anchor in life, and in this, I think it sad that such misguided compassion (or self interest) by the left leaning godless liberal socialists are at the root cause of the financial and godly ruination of most, consequently emptied over time in both their pockets and their hearts, as an enslaving crippling double blow, and in that, I do cry inside for the emptiness with which most live their lives, and only in that, for me, is it really the doom and gloom time.
Please pray with me,
Dear God, the giver life and true happiness, we abundantly thank you for your infinite mercy, and the continued treasure of joy brought into our hearts each and every day when we walk with our Savoir Jesus, your gift of everlasting life, the gift of all gifts, for which we humbly praise you, to give us our daily strength to meet all challenges and bare all burdens in our world you made for us. We beseech your will to spread your holy spirit throughout all the lands of earth, that others may not fear their time, and remain brave and courageous through all of life's trials, to always remember to be thankful for your everlasting gift of eternal life and perpetual joy. And as our savior taught us to say,
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Fr Sebastian DSilva, at St James, Roman Catholic church, in Yunzhno, Salkalinsk Island, Russia, reported that the local bank went bankrupt and he lost the Church's savings and operating money, 750,000 rubles, about $20K, and if anyone feel compelled to send a few bucks his way, it would be a Godly good deed.

This is how screw up, the DC elite's minds have become. Could you imagine, in the old west, the cowboys having to log miles on horses to pay taxes??? This is beyound obsurd, and yet, they actually think of doing this, that is what astounds me. But just like the Cartel, they let gold go up a little, before they move in and pick pockets, and here OBAMA is the great tax cutter and waste preventer. simply FARCICAL
========
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Friday rejected his transportation secretary's suggestion that the administration consider taxing motorists based on how many miles they drive instead of how much gasoline they buy.
"It is not and will not be the policy of the Obama administration," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters, when asked for the president's thoughts about Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's suggestion, raised in an interview with The Associated Press a daily earlier.
Gasoline taxes that for nearly half a century have paid for the federal share of highway and bridge construction can no longer be counted on to raise enough money to keep the nation's transportation system moving, LaHood told the AP.
"We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled," the former Illinois Republican lawmaker said in the AP interview.
==============
And you will love this one, where a hard-left liberal sociatlist, creating the biggest give a away in US history, says to gov, dont waste taxes (yet its bail out money), yet, by definition, is not that what liberal socialistic gov is inherently all about? Because in the end, like end of days, that is exactly what the LEFT is all about, only WASTE is left, because you cant buy morality funding gay parades and abortion clinics and removing crosses from federal lands and national cementaries, and you certainly cant buy or promote human productivity with unemployment compensation. Social spending is inherently counter-productive, demeaning, and destructive of self reliance, self respect, and human productivity. It all sounds great in theory, but what is missing from the liberal equation in the MENTALITY OF THE HUMAN MIND, that is inherently greedy wanting all the bananas, and unless you have have winners and losers in capitalism, and exploit human greed, all you get are a bunch of caged, poo throwing, worthless chimps, rather than powerful monster silver back gorillas wanting AND TRYING HARD, to have it all, and its this TYRING that is the key to success, with the lure of reward for success and PUNISHMENT for failure, and it is the success destruction through taxes, and the lack of punishment through the safety nets, that DESTROYS productivity and self reliance and self respect and morality, and continuously degrades human kind, into UNPRODUCTIVE GODLESS DECADENT LIBERAL SOCIALISM, that turns all productive people into tax criminal cheats, turns all unproductive people into mere leaches, and destroys godly values misdirected into state worship and reliance and utter life long dependency. One sad state of affairs, thanks to the TRI-AXIS of evil, Wilson-FDR-LBJ, the socialism initiators, and their modern cloons, REID-PELOZIE-OBAMA, teaching people to rely exclusively on THE NANNY STATE.
Lets be honest. The best system, (if productivity and highest standards of living over all on the average is the objective), is jungle capitalism confined by godly teachings. One promotes the largest incomes and gains, while the other teaches VOLUNTARY giving and moral life styles, which is the way it should be, SELF MOTIVATION COUPLED WITH MORAL SELF CONTROL, and not the punishment of productivity and the reward of failure by THE NANNY STATE. I do believe in MONTEROUS PROGRESSIVE TAXES, on inheretance, interest income, dividends, gifts, only, so everyone get an equal opportunity to support governmental necessities, (such as defense). I do believe in the minimal state safety net, limited only to public clinics, shelters, and soup kitchens. Tax consumption, sales taxes, on a flat tax basis to tax gluttony in a commodity limited world, Tax FMV real property based upon property values and services rendered (police, fire, trash, schools), tax inheretances progressively, but do not, under any circumstances TAX income, payroll or capital gains, which should be deductions, and the engines driving success and productivity, and do not demean, but rather encourage godly churches and life style, so that PEOPLE POLICE THEMSELVES and become inherently giving.
OReilly coined the "Nanny State" I believe, which is right on.
=====
WASHINGTON – Invoking his own name-and-shame policy, President Barack Obama warned the nation's mayors on Friday that he will "call them out" if they waste the money from his massive economic stimulus plan.
"The American people are watching," Obama told a gathering of mayors at the White House. "They need this plan to work. They expect to see the money that they've earned — they've worked so hard to earn — spent in its intended purposes without waste, without inefficiency, without fraud."
===========
President Obama, (Biden's Unhappy Face, PRICELESS!!!!) I want to extend my congratulations on achieving the tax cuts, as I know it was a tuff thing to do, as it limits, does it not, the corrupting NANNY STATE, but then, with the tax cut, it DESTROYS the money based upon deficit spending, right?. But, in the end, I suppose to get all of your decadent social spending, you had to throw the republicans a bone. Right?
I note in this article. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090221/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_economy
VP Biden is standing behind you, with a NOT TO PLESANT FACIAL EXPRESSION. HHHHMMMM TAX CUTS, I guess you just made BIDEN and ALL OF US AMERICANS, feel a bit UNPATRIOTIC this day. Not me, taxes are inherently evil, which enable counter-productive decadent liberal social spending, destroying the spirit of man kind into enslavement by THE NANNY STATE. That picture is just priceless, BIDEN's patriotic tax duplicity revealed by the PRESIDENT himself, a hard-left liberal.
YOU CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!!

WASHINGTON – The notoriously slow Congress passed the $787 billion economic stimulus package in a matter of weeks. President Barack Obama signed it into law less than one month into his presidency. So, just how soon will Americans start reaping the benefits of tax cuts in it?By April 1, according to the president."Never before in our history has a tax cut taken effect faster or gone to so many hardworking Americans," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. He said the Treasury Department has begun directing employers to reduce the amount of taxes withheld from people's paychecks in accordance with the new law, and that in six weeks, a typical family will start taking home at least $65 more every month.Obama says his signature "Making Work Pay" tax break will affect 95 percent of working families.

Bill OReilly,
You are slowly coming towards the realization that godless decadent liberal socialization of America, punishes the productive through taxes, while rewarding the irresponsible through hand outs, enslaving Americans through bankster interest controls, FED Fiat fraudulent money, IRS thugs threatening incarceration, and financial dependency, collectively imprisoning all Americans. The way is to require people be self reliant and responsible. And do not destroy productivity. Do not tax income, payroll, or capital gains, the engines for growth and prosperity, nor charity a reflection of morality and voluntary giving. Flat tax consumption for gluttony, FMV property tax for services (fire, police, schools, trash), and progressively tax inheritances, interest income, dividends, and personal gifts. Reduce the welfare state to only public shelters, clinics, and kitchens. That is the ticket to best over all productive society with the highest possible standard of living for all. Even Mr. OReilly seems to think that a 30% tax rate is OK. Sure is better than 50%, but anything over 6% (the reasonable patent royalty rate), is destructive, counter-productive to society as a whole. But we have been so threatened by the IRS thugs, and sold the GREAT SOCIETY, and pandered the votes, that we think 30% is just fine. Well it aint, never has been, never will be SUSTAINABLE under any socialistic society, we have simply been conditioned to accept slavery. Where are the indians for another tea party?
The Tri-Axis of Evil:
Wilson's FED/FIAT ruination of the money, and interest rate control over our lives.
FDR's RAW deal, incorrectly teaching corrupting compassion, eg social security.
LBJ's Corrupt Society, unknowingly corrupting self reliance and self respect, that has decimated not only the blacks, but elderly who do not save during their working years.
Modernly, of course, we have OBAMA-REID-PEELOUSLY, the vote panderers, promising the world, to enslave the pigs, who have been conditioned by promises to be more than happy to be spoon fed by the NANNY STATE, in a pig sty, with freedom abandoned. THANK YOU BILL OREILLY for coining the term "nanny state", how appropriate.
Over spending of FIAT money, allows for targeted inflation, the recurrent stealing of wealth from the citizens, so that the DC elite can peddle more and more enslaving corrupting social controls over the people by the almighty big brother turned nanny.
FREEDOM: GOD GOLD GUNS LAND VOTE, and that freaking fiat money, IRS, FED, and welfare ARE NOT INCLUDED. But the jungle, through negative feedback, has a way of correcting things, and FIAT currency, (Nixon cut the dollar loose from gold) has survive an average of 40 years, and the FED FRN is now in its death throws, thanks to the decadent corrupting liberal godless socialists.
IT IS NOW CRASHING DOWN, because you godless decadent liberal DC elites with your pandered TAX and SPEND corrupting enslavement has finally economically killed us all.

Mr. Netanyahu,
Reflect on the Obama Administration pushing for peace with the purse strings, as Isreal bombs Gaza and land grabs in the west bank. Reflect of the disunity in Isreal politics. Reflect upon years of war and terror, without end. Why not rally all three parties together, and join Obama in securing peace in palestine, and propose freeing the W.Bank under ABBAS and paying a fair price with arab consent and contract for new settlements, and stop the land grabs, and become immortal in your legacy? (and a world class hero?) Be strong against Terror, pound Hamas, but free the W.Bank, as they have EARNED IT, and we Americans, your only international support, cheerish FREEDOM.

This message was edited by DerrickMReid on 2-23-09 @ 6:44 AM
There are many who say that we judge a society by the extent to which we care for the poor and aged. That is true. But it is not the intent or effect, its the means of accomplishing this noble deed of caring for the unfortunates of a society, that is at issue. These are very noble thoughts, but of course, it comes down to how a society achieves those noble compassionate goals. Many liberals fail to understand the corrupting dependency that necessarily comes with an all powerful so-called compassionate state, which must in the first instance punish and destroy the productive class into financial ruin, to then only corrupt the souls of an irresponsible class into life long decadent state dependency.
If any one feels compassion for the poor or the aged, might it be suggested that you simply give voluntarily, and stop trying to force others to share your propensity to have the NANNY STATE do your godly giving for you, which somehow allows the liberals to vicariously feel good when living in their own personal shame for not personally giving a good share of their gains. Just simply give, and stop trying to make others, through criminal enforcement, live up to your vision of the NANNY STATE to some how repent for your own personal guilt, shame, and failure for not personally helping the poor or aged.
It is ironic, is it not, that the decadent liberal left, which seeks to remove GOD, CHRIST, and symbols of the same from public view, such as trying to remove all crosses from national cemeteries, with intended banishment of religion and religious symbols from public view, which religions are and have always been the corner stone to compassion giving, would then, in their so-called group aggregate collective compassion, seek to have the NANNY STATE do their compassionate giving for them. In other words, they actively attempt to destroy churches and temples, those organizations best suited for compassionate giving, yet, then seek to have the state replace those churches and temples, through ruinous taxation and godless decadent dependency upon the state.
Lets be clear, this is NOT ABOUT societal compassion, as the liberals do actually seek to destroy, not maintain, compassionate churches and temples. Its about US power politics, with no holds barred, where voters are mere pons and obscene pandering is the game through unattainable campaign promises for political control in Washington DC. These decadent liberals actively seek the destruction of churches and temples that provide support to the poor and aged, and, they seek to punish the productive class through an absolutely obscene tax regime, which is used to further political control for the liberal socialists, who further seek to have the almighty big brother NANNY state control and ENSLAVE all through the long arm reach of the federal government using criminal penalties and taxes.
The tax system needs to be completely over hauled. The state must not, under any circumstances tax earned income, payrolls, or capital gains, the engines for growth and prosperity, that is, the means to provide voluntary personal giving in the first place, nor tax personal charity as reflection of personal morality and personal voluntary giving. The state should flat tax all consumption for gluttony, and should FMV property tax for services rendered by the state such as for fire, police, schools, and trash, and then should progressively tax inheritances, interest income, dividends, and personal gifts, which are passive forms of incomes. The state needs to reduce the welfare state to an absolute bare minimum, to only public shelters, clinics, and kitchens, while promoting, or at least stop attempting to, destroy god in the lives of the people. These protected engines of growth provide the best way to an over all productive society with the highest possible standard of living for all and providing the highest personal means to voluntarily help others who are not so fortunate in life. Love thy neighbor, what a concept, may actually come back in vogue from the dust bin of modern liberalism. Human beings do feel good about themselves when they give voluntarily, as a rewarding slice of real compassionate humanism. Modernly, we no longer love our neighbor, voluntarily, we just let the state do that, thereby forcing us to vicariously love thy neighbor, building class warfare and resentment of others. However, when pockets are full of cash through the engines of growth, when savings are grown because one can not rely upon the state, and when motivated by innate personal compassion, in an opening righteous culture, the generosity of Americans has proven to be exceedingly robust, with the compassionate coffers over flowing in abundant giving, with individual hearts rewarded, happy, and satisfied through personal abundant giving, and all of this is without the need for an army of IRS and tax collecting thugs invading our privacy in an anual state mandated shake down under threats of imprisonment, and without the need for an army of unnecessary tax attorneys, sharks, and accountants in support, all collectively better employed elsewhere than being an unnecessary unproductive overhead drag on the economy.
We Americans, now in the land of the taxing corrupt and the welfare enslaved, have allowed misplaced aggregate compassion to destroy our hearts into decadent dependent irresponsibility and shame, to further the socialistic NANNY state political control by the DC liberal elitists. It is a power play, and no more, and has nothing to do with compassion whatsoever for the poor and aged. USA President Wilson's FED bank and fiat paper money, FDR's raw deal, and LBJ's corrupt society, have destroyed our freedoms and enslaved our minds and lives into a corrupt godless nation. Though they were well intentioned and honorable men, the means selected to relieve their compassion has been and will always be a failed policy. Any society which does not fully exploit human greed by individual reward and human personal compassion at the individual personal level, is doomed to failure, bankruptcies and perpetual misery of the whole.
And now, with the always purportedly deficient tax base to support an ever increasing clamor for more of VP Biden's "patriotic" taxes and the ever increasing welfare state, destroying any financial margins in time of recession, like now, thereby bankrupting the state and federal treasuries, there are now insufficient savings by the people who have now depended upon and look only upon the state for survival, and there are no financial margins or savings by the people and state, and consequently, deficits reign throughout the land, destroying our money and economy in the process, and throwing this great country into financial depression and perpetual ruin of both wealth and heart.
Forced group aggregate compassion by the state, though admirable in principle, is an inherently flawed and terribly inefficient concept, that is merely politically used to concentrate power into the pandering socialistic elitists in DC who necessarily destroy the productive class and reward the irresponsible class. This must stop and be completely reversed. It must be just the opposite, if the highest standard of living and the maximum personal charity is the sought after objective. That is, reward productivity through a low tax regime, stop destroying GOD and morals in the lives of the people, for promoting person compassionate giving that has always been the most effective means for providing abundance and in turn the voluntary social safety nets, that do not take down the whole system by destroying the value of money, savings, businesses, property, and ultimately, the human spirit, where the poor and aged actually get less over all, especially during times of recessions that are absolutely cyclically necessary to cull ineffective businesses to perpetually strengthen and maintain the economy, to remain flexible and adaptable as the world evolves.
It is yet again ironic, is it not, that these same decadent godless immoral socialistic liberals believe in biological Darwinism, over the eons, yet, modernly, for the sake of political control to enslave the people, throw out financial Darwinism, in a supreme act of cultural duplicity. From survival of the fitness, to human compassion, the liberal left is an inherent immoral duplicitous FRAUD.
Decadent godless socialism is a failed policy, has always been a failed policy, that will never work over the long term, and only serves to corrupt the people and enslave the citizenry, ultimately providing less to those in need. Moral capitalism frees the people, reduces government waste, and provides the best overall standard of living for the people with maximum potential for personal charity. But then, it could be supposed, all of this is not all about freedom, (god gold guns land and vote), its not about productivity, its not about charity, its not about helping the poor and the aged, its really all about the decadent DC socialists enslaving us all under an evil power trip.

Enslavement of America, started with President Wilson:
http://news.goldseek.com/GoldSeek/1235398200.php
Darryl Robert Schoon:
Just as those who live by the sword often die by the sword, the same is true for credit. Once the source of England and America’s immense power, central bank credit, now debt, is destroying what it previously built. What the bankers didn’t expect is that they would be destroyed as well.
It is not a coincidence that England’s banks are now collapsing. Recently, England has been forced to buy ownership stakes in English banks to prevent their failure, e.g. HBOS, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Lloyds. The same is true in the US as the Bank of America and Citigroup are themselves now vulnerable to government takeover.
It is no coincidence that America is in the exact same difficulty as is England, the nation against which it successfully revolted in 1776. The reason is that in 1913, England succeeded by banking which it had previously been unable to accomplish by force, to wit exert financial and political control over America, its former colony.
In 1913, the successes of the American revolt were effectively reversed when bankers recreated the central banking system of England in the US as the Federal Reserve Bank, a private bank with control over public money; and, consequently, that same banking system that enslaved the English to perpetual debt in the 19th century would now do the same to Americans in the 20th.
It is also no coincidence that in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Bank was established in the US so, too, was the 16th amendment which gave legal status to the national income tax, a right to tax not granted in the Constitution, a tax that had first appeared in England some sixty years before. <=======!!!!
The bankers’ hand has now thoroughly corrupted and indebted America as it had England before it. The means by so doing was national ambition and greed. It was the bankers’ credit which fueled both the imperialist ambitions of England and America’s later push for globalization. The cost, though, has been high as the ambition of each is responsible for that which in the end will destroy the basis of their power.
=========
Abolish the FED bank and repeal the 16th amendment

A world without god, is a brutal police state keeping the all the arrant humanists in line, becase they need to be kept in line, as the STATE is the only authority that will be respected, with a world of fiat that enslaves, a word of freedoms denied in guns, a world of banksters with their interest enslaving the masses to fiat induced inflation and interest payments of land. Yet, they rely on the VOTE, to dismantle the church complex and destroy personal resposibility, self-respect, personal giving, and personal self-reliant, so that we all only pray to the STATE for our free-lunch, free health-care, free retirement, yet in its grand duplicity, states are not our brother's keepers in the law, yet the state forces people to so, rather than relying on the god's gift of love from the church-complex.
You humanists can have your fiat, your irresponsiblity, your self unreliance, your enslavement, as I will believe is real freedom, based in the high five, GOD GOLD GUNS, LAND and VOTE, and will not throw away any of them, only to be then imprisoned by the STATE and its secular progressivism. God commands that I give willingly. The state commands that I give in taxes to support the welfare state or go to jail. There is your compassion, build the STATE-GOD so that the STATE controls your lives. The state enforces its sense of compassionate giving that is really a blind for imprisonment. The state will destroy God and your freedom to act as you believe, take your guns and your right to defend yourself from others and the state, suppress your gold so that the bankster interest will enslave all, tax your land and restrict its use so no one can hide from the long arm of the enslavers, and will fraudulently pander your votes with false promises and false direction to give the state even more power to control your lives. The high five (GOD GOLD GUNS LAND and VOTE) is what keeps you free, in thought and deed and rights. Give up any of them, and you might as well stand in line for your bama-bucks, every self-disrespective weak blasphimer will, as if they are entitled. Pigs are happy to eat free food in a pig sty, with freedom abandoned. You only become free when you mind is free in the first place to understand what it is. God almighty is the giver of life and joy and belief in someting more that the state mandates. I know. Life and death is but a biological presence, but joy and real help for living is through teachings of sound morals and life styles that God commands. Its the spirit thing that works for me to do the right thing without the STATE mandating my every move. Some theologians say that the gift of the holy spirit, that thing that has put a spark in my life since 13, comes from god, that its god's will, and I am thankful to be so selected, because why god would give a rech like such undeserving joy, is beyond words. But, I dont know about keeping it to myself, in the cafe, as my prayers have been answered 3-0, and that's a hat trick, thus far, with Bill hanging in the balance for a grand slam, so, I am keeping fingers crossed and trust in God's mercy. It works for me.
Dang, 3-0 for cafe members,
PATON: I want that chaplin decorated.
Excuse me now, got to do an exercism on another cafe member. It is interesting to me how offended non-believers get, as they dont like any judgments laid down upon them for their decadent lack of morality, because they want to be accepted, by the moral core. Being told you are going to hell for your selfish dehumanizing humanism, like the gay thing, or simply shunned by the moral mainstream, is just unacceptable to the humanists, yet, they want to be accepted by the moral majority, which aint going to happen, when they live decadent life styles and believe in the almighty state. Looked down upon as subhuman, possibly, pitied maybe, prayed for at times for their wicked and sinful ways often, but just accepted as is, no thanks, I have to be true to myself, and call it like I see it. Man has been both a spiritual being with earthly man in greed, power, and lust, and the ONLY thing keeping greed, power, and lust running open loop, is the feedback system, and here it is. It is sugggested by God give the problems, and yes, the crosses borne or punishment or his will. Dont try to suppose his will, but prayer and answers are rewarding. Its faith.
DECADENT HUMANISM destroys Humanity.

My friend, Fr. Sebastian, of St James Parish, Sakhalin Island, Russia, just told me that his church LOST all of their money in a Russian Bank, that just went belly up, losing 750,000r.

If silver goes to 30/oz as hoped, and I catch it good, I intend to cover the loss. Sebastian is on it, praying for success, of course. Let's see. Paton: I want that chaplin decorated!!! REMEMBER, feel your compassion, and give GOD his piece of the action, the utlimate mob boss, doing good work, WITHOUT THE FREAKING STATE TAKING MY MONEY to feed their decadent agenda, and welfare, SS, all of it, is godless socialism. Abolish the FED/IRS/SS/Welfare/FIAT!!
=========
Jon, no offense really, but you see, to me it is all inter-related. I am a REAL MONEY believer, that is PART of a BELIEF system, that goes to humanity, and where we are all going ultimately, and WHY. To me, cultural evolution of man will lead to war and fiat being replaced by trade wars and real money, and the driver to that has its roots in GOD and the 300BC rejection of evil tyrants, perfected through political changes, and ultimately leads to the abolition of war and the return of real honest money. So, it is so difficult not to discuss geo-politics, religion, economics, in depth, to get at the root of why real money is necessary and will return as the coin of all realms. I am at odds with athesis and left leaners, but that's ok, I can understand the position as being rational. But all of us are in the same freaking mess as I see it, lookkng for ways to achieve solutions to problem.
I have said publicly prayers anytime I hear of an illness in the cafe, cultural I suppose.

Josh, I believe I saw Robert Knapp checking out the posts.

MIDAS' membership is approaching 3000, and I believe more people are here, than ever before, but they just dont post as much, anymore, because, I think, if they start with their leftist godless views, I might just call them on it, (and that scares the begezzous out of them), as that is a confrontation, perhaps the cowards would just rather avoid, because I am strong, can argue, with reason. So, I do believe my presence here has affected the number of screeching leftist posts, that has gone from exclusively far left, to alone preacher and few mild liberals. THAT IS OK WITH ME.
OReilly would be proud of the fair and balanced thing.
:)
When I first came on here, I was ridiculed and attacked, it was a DOG PILE, 100:1, for my positions, but I am no coward, and will stand my ground against the multitude of OUT SPOKEN and VICIOUS lefties. I did not really get why, then, now I do. And I have yet to find anyone who can rationally explain to me, why my "global confluence" analysis is off the mark. Sure, I get the "facist" name calling, because at times, I want to just give war a chance, and Im brutallized for openingly using the word GOD, because that import morality, something the lefties want to leave to history, in their free for all humanism. I get that to.
I thought it interesting, that this site was full of racous, selfish, greedy, godless, whinny, liberals, who just love beating up on Bush, the Pope, and Anmericana, who just could not stand to have a hard-rigthy in their mists, but now I get that to, and yes, my belief system is herently offensive to their predisposition. TUFF COOKIES.
With OBAMA in there, its a little different, these days, aint it? It was so easy for the lefties to complain about Bush as part of the whole anti-gov gold bullion manipulation thing, but with a stalwart righty on board, and a lefty in DC, things have changed in the cafe, that is for sure. The lefties are not so brazen anymore for the mutual openly back slapping, now are they? And yes, many of the radical lefties picked up their toys and left, USSA Dave for example.
but I am considerate, and allow others to have a conversation on the left without my presence. And I do avoid many threads where leftiest discussions are had, to give others their day, without pooping in their mess kit, a consideration I never got at first, but now I do, and that is appreciated. thanks gang.
Is not it interesting that I would engage lefties, but most lefties NOW wont engage me, or even attack me ANYMORE as the safty in the group heard, is now apparently gone. It was so easy for them to join in on gang rape, but now, in lone objection, they are not so brave. THEY JUST CANT HANDLE IT, (the free speech thing, get it?)
But, yes, I am a futurist, and trying to put it all together, the world vision, a comprehensive view, and express it all, does take reams of posts, but at least I try to put it all together, (at least in my mind) in an off topic thread "china transforms north korea".
Now I know there are non-believers, and those who really hate the US church-complex, the morality thing, as it operates in placing conduct propriety judgment upon people who dont really want to be told their are inherently evil or decadent for their "inherently sinful ways", as preceved as degrading society as whole, I get that, and hence, the backlash against the churches, and my open use of the word (quick, put your hands over your ears), GOD, and the attempted banishment of GOD from public view, just like you telling me to to get off it, and take my prayer for Bill's health elsewhere. I understand it for what it is. Do you?
How do you help others, when you want to actually help fellow humans live a good life, as preceived. Do you do nothing, and live in shame for so doing? How do you tell a butt-phukin gay-parade drag queen that you believe they are decadent and sinful and degrading of society, as are their secular progressive enablers, without offending. YOU DONT. And everytime they, (possibly you) see a cross on the church in public view, if must just make them pissed. (I like that) But its OK, for the fag lovers to protest against the California VOTE banning gay marriage, but not ok for me, to express the righteous view. I GET THAT TOO. The typical free speech hypocracy of the left, a class of inherently deceitful and dishonest intellects.
So, I fully understand why some DONT WANT TO HEAR IT, DONT WANT TO SEE IT, DONT WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, in intellectualy dishonesty, so they can go about their lives with perceived impunity, immune from any moral judgments. I GET THAT TO. WE ALL GET THAT, dont we?

US envoy, Netanyahu meet on peace efforts

Delicious Digg Facebook Fark Newsvine Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer Amy Teibel, Associated Press Writer – 7 mins ago AP – US Middle East envoy George Mitchell, left, and Israel's Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu shake …
Slideshow:Israeli troops invade Gaza Play Video Mideast Video:Around the World FOX News Play Video Mideast Video:Israel's Olmert bids farewell Reuters JERUSALEM – The special U.S. envoy tasked with re-energizing stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians met Thursday with Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu, a vocal opponent of the negotiations.
The meeting was the first between Netanyahu and George Mitchell since Netanyahu was designated to lead Israel's next government.
The Obama administration has dispatched Mitchell to the region for the second time in its first month, an indication of the new U.S. president's determination to press a resolution of the decades-old conflict. Hillary Rodham Clinton is due in the area next week on her first trip since being appointed the new U.S. secretary of state.
Netanyahu thinks the latest round of U.S.-backed peace negotiations was a waste of time and wants to promote Palestinian prosperity instead of Palestinian statehood.
The Palestinians reject Netanyahu's approach and want Israel to halt West Bank settlement construction. On that point, the Palestinians are in accord with Mitchell, who, as head of an international commission to investigate Middle East violence, urged Israel back in 2001 to freeze settlement expansion. He also called on Palestinians to rein in militants.
Netanyahu is an outspoken champion of expanding the settlements, where nearly 290,000 Jews live, up about 50 percent since 2001.
Mitchell arrived in Israel on Thursday from Turkey and met with moderate Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni before his scheduled meeting with Netanyahu.
In Ankara, Mitchell said predominantly Muslim Turkey's friendship with Israel gave it a unique opportunity to help achieve Middle East peace — a reflection of Washington's desire to see the two U.S. allies mend ties frayed during Israel's recent offensive in the Gaza Strip.

What I am actually doing, by that missive, is telling Dr. Paul, directly, how to run for the presidency in 2012 effectively as an independent. But he needs the comprehensive plan, with the rationales, and I have created the talking points for him, and if the economy tanks, and it is more asuredly likely, people will be looking for an alternative to the DC power structure. So great will this economic collapse be, (most have no clue), as currently projected, and as predicted five years hitherto, that there could be a shake up in American domestic politics, and that is Dr. Paul's ticket to the presidency, and a return of our freedoms and real honest money.

LePatron
Americans Perpetually Enslaved,
Freedom is inherently based upon the high five, to wit, God, Gold, Guns, Land and Vote, respectively, to believe as we choose, to have our money free from the degrading printing presses of the DC elitists, to defend ourselves from criminals and government oppression, to live as we choose, and to control the necessary local, state and federal governments from enslaving our lives. But as we enter the 21st century, we Americans can hardly be considered free. There is no doubt about it, we are enslaved, voluntarily so.
The enslavement of America started in earnest in 1913, with President Wilson's creation of the FED bank, with their controlling interest rates, and fiat money of intrinsic worthlessness being printable at any quantity as desired, and with the adoption of the 16th Amendment creating income taxes giving rise to an army of necessary IRS thugs to enforce collections of the people's hard earned money through threats of imprisonment during the annual April shake down of the citizenry, providing fiat money an artificial inherent worth as taxes must be paid in federal reserve notes, that is, fiat dollars, having absolutely no intrinsic worth.
The enslavement of Americans then proceeded to FDR's with his socialistic raw deal and the confiscation of the Americans' gold coins, which enslavement then proceeding to LBJ's socialistic corrupt society, and then finally to the strong dollar policy, which collectively has resulted in centralized money control emanating out of DC with the necessary collateral suppression of bullion prices, so that, the people would not look to any other monetary unit, such as real honest money, that is free from the ravages of the DC fiat printing presses, so that, the people would be forced to depend exclusively upon the fiat dollar and the fiat controlling regime of DC.
The enslavement propaganda out of Washington DC has worked exceptionally well over the last century, since 1913, and continues to this day, with VP's Biden "patriotic taxes", and the obscene deficits running amuck in DC created by both the liberals and the compassionate so-called conservative elitists embedded in DC corruption and power politics, that has, over the last 100 years, conditioned us Americans to accept FED controlling interest rates, ruinous counter-productive taxes, unwarranted gun controls, land use restrictions innumerable, secular progressive demeaning of god's churches and temples compassionately giving to those in need, and finally to the pandering of votes through unattainable campaign promises, both left and right, for perpetual cementing of socialistic controls by the elected DC elitists and their appointed agency henchmen.
Even as President Obama gave an ostensibly up-lifting speech before both houses of congress, with no less that 65 raucous ovations, from both the left and right, in response to yet more promises of utopia, under DC control, some whispers are heard by some reading between the lines, for those who can hear the spin and lies, of more government control over and central socialistic planing of our lives, as the government runs up well over a 10T$ national debt with additional spending of yet another 10T$ in bank bailouts under socialistic control, to enrich the banksters, throwing efficient capital Darwinism to the dust bin of forsaken founding capitalistic principles of this great country. You just know that we Americans as a people are absolutely screwed when both parties wildly applaud more social programs, spending, and controls from DC. The current financial enslavement of us Americans stems from the combinatory effects of an obscene tax regime, an intrinsically worthless fiat money, and the suppression of the alternative bullion prices through the use of manipulative naked short futures contracts on the NY CRIMEX exchanges, held by agents and conspiratorial monetary thugs of the government, including and certainly not limited to JPM with their monstrously criminal derivative short positions.
Astoundingly, we Americans don’t complain. There is no just outrage by the people. There is hardly a peep from the people, as the government bailouts the banks, and their greedy bosses with their performance bonuses based apparently upon bankrupting all of the banks. The bank failures are well deserved as the banks did serve to do the government's bidding in controlling the monetary markets and our lives, as the banksters perfect their greed perpetrated upon the American economy through the use of 1000T$ worth of over the counter derivatives. We are not brave nor free. We Americans have been conditioned to live in economic slavery, to salute the DC elitists at the drop of another fake promise and offered program, that only serves to perpetually enslave our lives. Even Mr. Bill OReilly of Foxnews, thinks a 30% tax is just fine, where actually, anything over a 6% rate, a reasonable patent royalty, should be considered inherently destructive and evil. Well, even a pig when fed his daily slop, Mr. OReilly, will live happily in a pig sty, with freedom abandoned. People are no different, and neither is Mr. OReilly. We have been conditioned to accept the elitists' dictates from DC, their controls over our lives, and the April singing sirens.
But we Americans have been here before. We took action once against London's fiat money and their controlling taxes, starting with a small Indian raid in Boston, as we Americans then threw off the yoke of VP Biden's "patriotic taxes" and the obscene dictatorial control over our lives from absolute power concentrated in the English crown. And, we Americans can do it again, provided that we first can understand what has been done to us, our country, our collective minds, and our freedoms, and we can again show the outrage necessary, and act, if we have not been so propagandized into accepting the elitists' dictates and socialistic DC controls over our lives. We Americans now accept without any protest, a 30 year mortgage based upon enslaving interest rates dictated by the FED's monetary controls and the use targeted inflation rates and the interest rates made necessary through the use of fiat money. We accept enslavement for 30 years of our adult productive lives, without a peep. This is simply amazing, in the land of the so-called free and so-called brave. We are no longer free and we are no longer brave. We have become enslaved cowards.
We have all become cowards because we do not stand up to tyranny over our lives. We just continue to simply walk dispassionately like monotones toward the warlock caverns upon the blaring sirens signaling the annual April sacrificial tax shake down to tyrannical concentrated power in DC. We simply accept unlimited printing of fiat money. We simply accept an obscene tax regime. We simply accept controlling interest rates. We simply accept the degradation of godly symbols in our lives. We have been conditioned, through patriotic tax speeches, to empower the big brother Nanny state, to wipe our butts and feed our faces as only the DC elitists think best. We are now imprisoned. We even will not publicly recognize bullion manipulation in the commodities markets, which manipulation is blatant, but which manipulation supports the intrinsically worthless fiat money that enables our enslavement by big brother in the first instance.
Mr. Bill Murphy of GATA can scream bloody murder all he wants about gold bullion manipulation, and Mr. Ted Butler of IRI can rant and rave all he wants about silver bullion manipulation, but as long as we Americans remain cowards to the DC elitists controlling our lives, the CFTC, and the conspiratorial congressional oversight enablers, we will simply ignore the blatant criminal manipulation on the NY CRIMEX exchanges, and accept our enslavement. Give it up, Bill and Ted, it’s a losing battle, because, unless you integrate your outrage into an aggregate demonstration of lost freedoms, and convince the people at large to over throw the power complex in DC, the government will continue to protect the power projecting fiat money system in perpetuity thereby enabling and encouraging the suppression of bullion and real honest money, the only real alternative to their worthless fiat. Your only hope to free bullion from criminal government led manipulation, actually enabled by the CFTC and congress, is to rally all Americans to throw off the tyrannical yoke that is the Washington DC elitists.
But how can we now possibly collectively even rebel? The people are now weak minded, conditioned by a century of DC propaganda and pandering to not aggressively act against any tyranny. So, armed rebellion against the enslaving DC elitists is modernly not a viable option. The only other effective means to take down the monarchs of DC, and free bullion and concurrently ourselves, is through the vote. But, we freedom lovers would not be on a level playing field, as American politics is now centered in only two viable political parties, the liberal democrats who always seek more taxes, more spending, and thus more control over our lives, and the "compassionate" republicans, who have of late all ready thrown in the towel to concentrated socialism in DC, and hence, we have abandoned Darwinian capitalism to scrap heap of lost individual freedoms and personal responsibility, and hence, making ourselves and both parties conspirators to the enslavement and control of all of the people. So how possibly can the system be changed, and free bullion, and free ourselves, when our American minds have been propagandized into accepting financial slavery and centralized control, living in a national pig sty, when the only voting option available is between two inherent look a-likes promoting more, not less, DC controls over our lives? We simply cant. We are hopelessly imprisoned by our own conditioned pandered minds by socialistic elitists of the two controlling political parties. We are freaking doomed to perpetual enslavement by big brother and the nanny state, as we get up each April 15th and march off to singing sirens toward the warlock caverns to be devoured into economical ruin, presently, however, accelerating on a global scale.
There possibly could be one hope, for a return of our freedoms, and liberation of bullion from manipulation, but it’s a very long shot, a 300 million to one long shot, actually, to be nearly exact, and that possibility would the coming of a second economical political messiah, a populous, running for the presidency, outside of the two main political parties, with an articulated agenda, and with a plan to perfect reinstatement of our freedoms from the DC elitists. But, as of yet, there is no such person who has come forward with the agenda, with the plan, and with the ability to passionately and convincingly persuade the people that they have in fact firstly lost their freedoms, and secondly, that such freedoms can be reinstated. Dr. Ron Paul came close, but he remained locked into the corruption of the two political parties, and did not explain why our freedoms have been lost, nor did he offer a credible comprehensive plan to free us all. While well intentioned in some points, he did not put it all together, in a comprehensive way. Maybe a great populous champion will emerge before 2012 and offer what we American so dearly need and deserve, our freedoms back.
Any populous running for president, to take down the DC elitist power structure, to free us Americans, must have a plan as to national money, deficits, debt, taxes, and welfare. This populous candidate would need to have a comprehensive vision, both retrospectively and prospectively, and must be able articulately explain why we are enslaved, and why the tyrannical power structure in DC has enslaved us all through fiat money, the FED, the IRS, income taxes, and bullion suppression, as a collective regime and power play, so as to educate the people, and reverse 100 years of pandering DC propaganda, which, of course, would be no small task, as many Americans are in fear, and will naturally cling to their government hands outs in cowardly dependency. Breaking a propagandized dependency and the cowardly mind set of the American people through mere words would be one difficult task.
This populous messiah would need a plan. The plan would necessarily include abolishment of the FED, fiat money, the IRS, income taxes, and bullion suppression. The plan would include the reinstatement the gold and silver money standard. The plan would seek the repeal the 16th amendment authorizing income taxes and the adoption of a new amendment requiring local, state, and federal balanced budgets. This plan would necessarily destroy socialism in American, and would severely limit the welfare states, a good thing, such as to only public shelters, clinics, and kitchens, while supporting, in turn, compassionate free charitable personal giving through charities, churches, and temples, thereby exploiting individual personal compassion that is the most effective and efficient means of securing a minimal safety net for the poor and aged. This populous should propose eliminating the national debt, virtually over night, by requiring all Fiat FRN dollars be redeemed at the treasury at a rate of about 1B$/oz. Fiat redemption in bullion would force many, if not all, other countries to likewise abandon fiat money in a global rebirth of the exclusive international use of gold and silver money as the only real honest medium of exchange between countries, business, and persons, as the global community replaces war and fiat with trade wars and real honest money, and while outlawing global protectionism and, of course, the internationally sought after elimination of the US dollar as the global reserve currency.
The tax system should be changed comprehensively. There should be absolutely no taxes on earned income, payrolls, or capital gains, which are the engines of growth, that must necessarily and fully exploit human greed for maximum productivity and prosperity leading to increased personal tax free charity. There should be a flat tax on all consumption in a resource limited world thereby punishing gluttony and conserving the world limited resources. There should be market value real property taxes to pay for police, fire, schools and trash. Finally, there should be extremely progressive taxes on passive incomes including inheritances, interest, dividends and personal gifts, so that all have an equal opportunity. This tax regime would collectively together encourage economical growth, resource conservation, dissipation of obscenely corrupting concentrated wealth in a few, and the dismantling of socialism and the welfare state to free the people of dependent slavery by the government.
It is doubtful that such a populous would rise up, however, and come freedom's way any time soon. There is, possibly, one small hope. If the global economic community continues to spiral out of the control toward the downside into a global depression, and it is accelerating just now to the downside, and the global fiat complex concomitantly collapses as well relative to commodities and bullion, rendering all fiat money suspect in the eyes of the common people, and if the unemployment rate rises to depression levels, the citizens may just get a little upset, and even demonstrate, and possibly politically revolt around the world as well as in the US from all of the monetary enslavement. We Americans actually might just rethink a century of pandering propaganda, and actually listen to a populous candidate for president of the USA and leader of the free world.
It is a dreadful choice, however, to wish for monetary, economic, and financial global ruination, but with it is also the ruination of the enslaving fiat money, bullion manipulation, and government enforced corrupting socialism and control over our lives. It would be worth it, though. We Americans, if truly brave, should bite the short term economic bullet rather than perpetuate tyrannical slavery from DC over our lives. We may just become again the land of the free and brave. But, until such global financial ruination is achieved, and until some populous take the soap box station in earnest, with the plan for the return of our freedoms, the American economic political system will not change, and the status quo will remain in effect, as until such a populous messiah comes forth to liberate us all from DC tyranny, nothing will change, with all Americans perpetually enslaved.

I look at the negatives as being gold positive, (wishful thinking in part no doubt).
But, the DOW at 7250 breaking lower, interest rates at zero, bullion mine supplies continue to tank with no end in sight, with the world imploding in an acceleration to the down side, hhhhhhhmmmmmm
I got to go with bullion for a moon shot, yet this spring, and say pretcher is out to lunch, until of course, he redraws his charts based upon only past performance.
I dont know if others much follow these elliot wave theories guys, but it seems to me, more often than not, that they make guesses as to future price action based upon pass price action, and when that the future price action does not occur, per the theory, then they designate A B C D E waves 1 2 3 4 5, to fit actual past price performance, using 20 20 hindsight, and then say, YOU SEE ELLIOT wave analysis WORKS.
bbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllll ccccchhhhiiiiiiit.
The predominate thinking that I have read, is that we have started a MONSTER wave three move up.
It only reliable elliot analysis, that I know of, works in retrospection. But a wave 3 move up is due.
IN MY VIEW.
==============
Here I found the latest from Alf Field, who I believe is the person James Sinclair, as jsmineset, conceeds is probably more accurate with a gazillion dollar surge, way beyond Jim's 1650/oz call.
http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_08/field112408.html
Assuming that the $699 low on 23 October 2008 turns out to be the actual low point of the correction, and that remains to be proven, then we can conclude that we have seen the low point for Major TWO. That will allow us to update my original "back of the envelope" template to much higher levels, as follows:
Major ONE up from $256 to $1,015 (actually 4 times the $255 low);
Major TWO down from $1015 to $699, say $700 (a decline of 31%);
Major THREE up from $700 to $3,500 (a Fibonacci 5 times the $500 low);
Major FOUR down from $3,500 to $2,500 (a 29% decline);
Major FIVE up from $2,500 to $10,000 (also a 4 fold increase, same as ONE)
=====
so now, lets looks at alf's elliot wave analysis, now that we have some history.
Gold NY close was 709/oz I believe about Nov. 8.
Intraday low was on about 10/22/08 at 680/oz
So, there was a well defined double bottom Oct/Nov last year, and techical analysis, and launch up could be made, and it did.
That couples in with Alf's elliot wave analysis.
Pretcher, just like Medandra, but are Shamen, shaming themselves, and scaming the folks, regardless of an occasional lucky dart throw.
=======
Just one man's opinion, I could be right.
=====
I cant mental analyze these guys.
I am bug, but wont hestitate, to sell, YET I HAVE NEVER SOLD!!!!!! Everytime I just keep holding and buying the dips, and it has worked, with little risk, and have accumulated a mil over the last 8 years, always, I mean, in the green, and my basis is like 350 gold or 8$ silver, over all. But, I AM NOT IN THE BUSINESS. I do not make my money trading BULLION. I am an investor for protection. For these guys to make money, they have to call tops and bottoms, and if they are selling into strength, would want ALL others to join in and sell, so that they can make a buck.
As you said, Bill and Jim, (and Ted) are all long and strong bulls, who dont BS us with TA exclusively, and always provide the fundamental perspective, which is for our long term gains and protection without the risk of being out of the position, because we are basically true gold bugs, who believe in real money for various reasons and in the fundamental degrading collateral economics.
So, when a gold pundit says sell, you just know he already did, and wants US ALL to help him make a buck.
That dont work with me, as I am basically NOT A TRADER, trying to feed myself off of trading income.
If these pundit say prices are going south, and think to myself, I sure hope so, because I can pick up some more cheap on the dip, before the next leg up and resumption of the bull.
Picked up another 1000oz Ag bar, this day, so, I GOT A WOODY just now, it made my day. Screw Pretcher and his attempted manipulation of us for his personal game. I hate being a manipulated sap, and resent those trying to manipulate me, as I already got enough of that, IM MARRIED!!!
==========
What I want is a pull back to 920-900 area, lower channel of up trend, pick up a little more, and then watch it romp up again.
This bullion sutff is a no brainer, risk free, if you have the patience to stay long and strong over several years, buy the dips, cash on the barrow head, and take physical possess and sit on it.
Always keep some powder dry for the dips. I know its tempting to jump in when its raw raw time at the highs, when people say IT SO CHEAP, but avoid that emotional temptation.
Buy the dips, take physical possession, and sit on it, as if your life depends upon it, and it does, and there are always plenty of opportunities in a bull, to buy the dips, and we got at least 10 more years of THIS EASY PICKINS, especially with the manipulators in there and the ranting pundits. This gold and silver stuff, IS SO SO easy, (weeeee as Mugambo says), if you just keep at it long enough.
In so doing, you avoid getting manipulated by the manipulators and pundits, you are always in position, and you accumulate a nice hoard over time, and your confort level continually increases, your net continually increases, and
YOUR FREEDOM continually increases.
=========
Actually Im nearly 2 tons in silver just now, and I bought 400 silver eagles last week, hope to pick up next week. I set aside a portion of my pay, and use bullion as my savings account. Just keep savings in PMs. What we want at this stage is the linear sustained up channel. I know we get our panties wet, when prices start to move exponentially up, as we salavate over our net worth in fiat, but accelerated peaks, eg mar 06 and 18 month consolidation, and mar 08 again (which could also lead to another 18 month consolidation), are not really good. We have interim panic mass buy peaks and then cartel led dumps, both out of channel.
The best action over all is the linear up channel trends, to mark buys at channel bottoms with relative safety, picking off the higher lows with steady and sure accumulations based upon one own means. Everyone can play this game, at whatever level your income provides, to accumulate savings in real money.
There will be multiple huge parabolic blow off highs, mar 06 and mar 08, if you are inclined to trade and sell into HUGE strength, but then you would be out of position and could miss a very huge move. I prefer using the Au:Ag ratio, for the trade, knowing that silver is more volatile, riding silver up, and riding gold down, for the trade muliplication, rather than cashing in some, and enabling the IRS thugs reasons to hunt my butt down, while Im am out of position, which is dangerous to the long term strategy.
So, a move down to 910-920, in channel is exactly what we want now that a modest correction has started, so, pick a buy price, such as 915, keep your cash handy, and wait it out. Last time, I had a mental target in silver of 10.20/oz, and the puppy came down to 10.30 and I missed it, but that is ok, you wont always get your bottom of channel buys, but opportunities will continue to be presented. Dont get upset if you miss one of your buys, there will be plenty more opportunities.
So, this bull run in bullion will last at least another decade, and maybe allot more than that.
Pick bottoms of linear up channel trends to accumulate a little, each time.
Dont buy at the higher highs, though it is so much fun to see your hoard value increase, but dont get cute, and pull the triggers, let the panic fools out there do that for you, and they will, and the cartel get ready to pounce upon them, and trigger their stop losses, so just have faith in others' greed and panic, and the counter cartel raids, and use both to your advantage.
Keep powder dry in case of a cartel raid pushing bullion out of channel, and go in big, at 20-25% corrections.
We have a formidable enemy, the fiat paper pushers around the world, and their manipulation is to take your bullion from you for their profit and your loss. Dont play THEIR game. Play Midas' game, and be patient, and beat the cartel at their own game. Their manipulation can be used against them, as they inflate fiat and kill mine production, so know your enemy's weakness, and use it to your advantage, and buy a tad on the dips, and buy a bunch on the corrections, always, cash on the barrow head, and take physical possession, and it is, a COC-SURE WINNING STRATEGY.
Shares are also good, but the same applies, and is more risky, so, once you get the bullion thing handled, and you know how to win it, and you see a bullion correction, pick up a few shares for the leverage play, but hold long long term, and that means, take your certificates in possession and dont allow brokerage pooling, that defeats your shares.
So, be patient bullion investors, buy the channel dips and the corrections lows, unleveraged, with cash, taking possession, and hang on to your hoard, and you will be financially protected.
The Indians are collectively much smarter than we Anglos. They know the deal. You watch India, which has been out of the market of late, come back really strong again on this dip. Just watch the news report come flashing any time now.
As the Mugambo Guru says, wheeee, this gold and silver investing is easy!!!!! And he is right.

China may not buy US debt agressively, but they certainly wont cause a stampeed and shoot themselve in the foot with 1T$, that is for sure. Too much is made of china bailing out of US debt in a rush, and they would be the big big loosers. We already are. China will also make US pull out of SK to get NK to denuke. That's a lock. Which is all fine with me, by the way, it makes no sense to station troops when we have massive covert stand off strike capabilities, and there is no way 8000 marines are going fight a gazillion chinese anyway. The only real threat is China launching a strike at Taipai, but, under the new order, with china having an export economy, that wont happen any time soon, and China would have to get permission first, from the divine ruler of the world, ....... me. I was rather disappointed I did not get an academy award from my performance in 300, though.
And then this today:
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea demanded Monday that the U.S. call off its annual military drill with South Korea, a report said, as rare talks between the North and U.N. forces ended without clear progress on defusing tensions.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the North made the demand during talks with the U.S.-led U.N. Command at the Korean border village of Panmunjom, held for the first time in nearly seven years. It came amid fears the North is gearing up to test-launch a missile believed capable of reaching U.S. territory.
Yonhap quoted an unnamed South Korean military official as saying the North warned the upcoming drill would "further stir up" tensions on the Korean peninsula.
The report said the U.N. Command insisted that the exercise — involving 26,000 American troops, an unspecified number of South Korean soldiers and a U.S. aircraft carrier — is purely defensive and not preparation for an invasion as the North claims.
North Korea has routinely condemned the regular U.S.-South Korea military drills as preparation for an invasion, although the allies have said they have no intention to attack.
Both the U.N. Command and the South Korean Defense Ministry said they couldn't confirm the report.
The U.N. Command only said the sides discussed "measures to reduce tension and introduce transparency" and agreed to further meetings during a half-hour of talks.

AP Interview: Gorbachev criticizes Putin's party

Delicious Digg Facebook Fark Newsvine Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print By DAN PERRY, Associated Press Writer Dan Perry, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 37 mins ago AP – Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev speaks during an interview with The Associated Press in Moscow, …
Play Video Barack Obama Video:Obama opens healthcare drive Reuters Play Video Barack Obama Video:Homeowners seek mortgage help WCNC Charlotte Play Video Barack Obama Video:Obama Pushes Health Care Plan ABC News MOSCOW – In some of his strongest criticism of his successors, Mikhail Gorbachev on Thursday likened Vladimir Putin's United Russia party to the worst of the communists he once led and helped bring down, and said Russia is today a country where the parliament and the judiciary are not fully free.
In an interview with The Associated Press some 20 years after the Soviet empire started its rapid collapse on his tumultuous watch, Gorbachev also said the global economic crisis showed capitalism should be tempered with elements of the socialist system he played such a critical role in sweeping away.
The last Soviet leader was interviewed in the offices of his Gorbachev Foundation, a think tank founded in 1992 to promote "democratic values and moral, humanistic principles" — as well as, some say, Gorbachev himself. A little aged and more heavyset perhaps, Gorbachev, 78, seemed feisty, friendly and often reminiscent of the man who once ruled one of two superpowers on Earth.
Gorbachev is a paradoxical figure even after all these years — widely credited around the world with a historic convulsion he admits he did not intend. He sought to fix communism, not destroy it, and in the interview said that while he was willing to let Eastern Europe go its own way he very much hoped the republics that formed the Soviet Union would stay united.
"I was a resolute opponent of the breakup of the union," said Gorbachev, who was forced to step down on Dec. 25, 1991, as the country he led ceased to exist.
He still holds out hope that one day Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus will join with Russia in forming a new union.
He seemed to view the global meltdown as partly the result of years of Western hubris and excess.
"The American media trumpeted ... about the victory in the Cold War, that socialism is down. This disease of extreme self-confidence led to it — the (belief) that things would always go on this way. And it did last long ... I think that now everyone is learning a hard lesson."
"It is necessary to overcome these mistakes of super-consumerism, of super-profits." he said. "We have to think about finding — through the G20 or other institutions — new models of development (and) cooperation."
The world should look for a composite system, he said, which incorporates "the past experience of all that the capitalist system brings, like competitiveness, and what socialism gives — especially a social safety net."
Gorbachev also said the moment was right for improved U.S.-Russia relations, expressed skepticism about the wisdom of Ukraine joining NATO, and called on the world community to head off the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon not with confrontation but rather "a maximal dialogue."
"Let (Iran) integrate itself into the global community, build normal relations," he said.
Gorbachev had harsh words for the current Russian leadership, singling out United Russia, the party Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has built into a political juggernaut at the center of a tremendously centralized — albeit popular — power structure.
"I criticize United Russia a lot, and I do it directly," the last Soviet leader said. "It is a party of bureaucrats and the worst version of the CPSU" — the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. "Regarding our parliament, I cannot say that it is independent (and) also our judiciary does not fully comply with the provisions of the constitution."
Is the world waiting for such advice? If there are takers, most will be outside Russia, where he has become a rather marginal political figure: For every Russian who appreciates his role in ending communism there are certainly many more inclined to blame him for the privations of the process he unleashed: the impoverishment many suffered in the 1990s, the vastly unequal distribution of wealth that bedevils society even today, the failings of Russian democracy — and the humiliating loss of the once-vast empire ruled from the Kremlin.
Asked about the fateful Nov. 9, 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, Gorbachev said that he never contemplated force to stop the process that within months saw most of the Warsaw Pact break free. He said it was inevitable that the states of that region would be free to do as they wished.
Yet even in Eastern Europe, as the region gears up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of communism, Gorbachev gets only the rarest of mentions and he is forced to share credit for the revolution with a slew of others — Poland's Lech Walesa, Vaclav Havel, Ronald Reagan and the late Pope John Paul II.
"We live more freely now than in the communist era because of what he did and achieved," said Peter Nagy, a 37-year-old public employee in Budapest. "However, he was still the leader of a dictatorial system, not a democrat. I would not accept him today as a leader."
Havel, the former Czech president, in his memoirs "To the Castle and Back" described Gorbachev as both a special and tragic case and said the collapse of communism would have been much more violent without him.
In Warsaw, former anti-communist dissident Adam Michnik said he feels "great gratitude" toward Gorbachev. "I don't have the slightest doubt that it was Gorbachev and his policy of glasnost and perestroika that opened the gates for the great changes that first took place in our country and then in this part of the continent," Michnik said.
In the interview, Gorbachev was philosophical about his declining political fortunes.
"Personally, as a politician, I lost. But the idea that I conveyed and the project that I carried out, it played a huge role in the world and the country. But now the situation is such that more and more people are starting to understand what Gorbachev did ...
"But anyway, we have gone far, and there's no return."
Gorbachev laughed when asked whether his recent appearance in Louis Vuitton ads might not cheapen such a momentous legacy, saying his foundation needed the money. He noted that he had also once appeared in Pizza Hut ads, and asked if any other offers might be forthcoming.

Hi Derelict, (aka Derrick Michael Reid)
Read the whole thing through. I have doubts there will be a man to do that ;-)
People are "inherently" reluctant to any radical change, unless they are forced to.
However, you must admit that to some extent America is free, because you'll definitely have problems with some state agencies expression such ideas in Russian being Russian in Russia. Believe or not, according to last changes in russian legislation it is against the law to express any complaints agaings the regime, and it will certainly lead to imprisonment.
It is funny but it is my wife who told me a good illustration for the current sutiation with freedom in large countries. Suppose you have a home to let. You are addressing a property management agency, which asks you for more and more payment, promising an improved return for your property. It never happens, but they argue that the market situation isn't very good at the moment, blah blah, the bottom line is that you should pay more and wait.
In some extent it is comparable to human beings. We've let our rights and freedom to the state, which, in turn, introduce more and more strict laws and taxes, inflating money value, arguing it's for the good of the property we've let (rights and freedom), means it increases the value of the property. Indeed, having such tough times, we value our right and freedom, but we aren't longer posess both. As you can see, every state existent at the moment claims that strict regulation (that is - deprivation of) our freedom is necessary to retain our freedom intact, it's funny, isn't? And, more surprisingly, everyone seems to be happy with it.
Come on, money have become bytes in computer systems long ago ;-)
It is not even a paper anymore.
Yours sincerely,

Thanks for the Message.
Putin controlling the Media, Obama and the DC elitists forcing socialization upon the american people. What is really the difference? Its the yoke of centralized control over our lives. Putin controls the media. Obama pandered the folks with the promised goodies. What is the difference? Style?
OBAMA with his universal health care. Forcing me to be "MY BROTHER'S KEEPER", contrary to american jurisprudence.How many social programs are there now, feeding THE BEURACRACY POWER STRUCTURE WITH ENSLAVED AMERICANS?
Are there any lefties who will defend universal health care at a time of Social Security unfundedness, 2T$ 09 deficits, 9T$ of bailouts, and a global implosion. No prior commitment unfunded level to high, no economic state to dire, no tax rate to high, to pile in more socialism, eh? Where am I going wrong?
The dollar is toast if the global economy improves, and, the dollar is eventually toast, as the dollar safe haven play flames out with a 20T$ national debt, in either case, the DC elitists can not help but spend spend spend, with the only interim result, assuming stabilization, is increased inflation.

Savings in Bullion
GLD (a gold ETF) picks up 200 tons of gold, yet gold is bombed $100 from $1000/oz to $900/oz, as the world financial players implode.
GoldmanSach closes out 50,000 short positions, meaning they had to buy 50,000 contracts long positions to close the short positions, substantially ending in Summer of 08, yet gold is bombed from $1000/oz to $680/oz.
JPM et. al. controls 80% of all silver short positions, in a monstrous, yet currently exploding derivative position, with share price tanking, which short position are a direct means of prima facie market manipulation, to bomb silver from $20/oz to $8/oz, in the summer of 08, yet the CFTC does nothing about it, with blind eyes, in the days of OBAMA's promised transparency.
The manipulation of the bullion markets by the bullion banks, is obscene, but apparently, the OBAMA administration would rather bail out more banks, and will no doubt bail out the bullion banks for their eventual losing derivative bullion short plays, at tax payer expense.
The US government, has effectively, for all intents and purposes, having the CFTC look the other way, to bullion suppression, to prop up the fiat dollar, is equally guilty of fraud upon the American people trying to protect themselves from the ravages of uncontrolled fiat money printing by the controlling socialistic elitists in DC, defeating Americans' protection from their own government and their personal protection in savings in bullion.

The news circulating is that 30B$ were pulled from mutual funds last week, and into US banks as cash deposits, (though the banks are not lending, just sucking up capital as their derivatives implode, and thus, more in the red to come, and who want their money in a collapsing bank, as confidence continues to erode), and hence, continued strength in the dollar in repatriation, as equity and ALL OTHER CURRENCIES (major) are tanking, "the dollar is the last man standing" bloomberg analyist, (which may be true for fiat money, but not for bullion), so we are in the last innings of dollar repatriation, the final move, with EQUITY and FOREIGN FIAT CAPITULATION, (but we are 2 years away from recovery, at least), and when the dollar repatriation flows dry up and the dollar starts down again relative to BULLION (the last real man standing), with the dollar having negative returns at zero short term rates, in very shaky technically-insolvent US banks, the dollar will tank as all the other fiat money has, RELATIVE TO BULLION, then, 0-lordy, bullion goes bananas relative to all fiat money, including the dollar.

Most Americans no longer read Alexis de Tocqueville’s masterpiece, Democracy in America, about which I wrote a book (Tocqueville on American Character; from which most of the following is taken) a few years ago. What a pity! No one understood us so well, no one described our current crisis with such brutal accuracy, as Tocqueville.
The economics of the current expansion of state power in America are, as I said, "fascist," but the politics are not. We are not witnessing "American Fascism on the march." Fascism was a war ideology and grew out of the terrible slaughter of the First World War. Fascism hailed the men who fought and prevailed on the battlefield, and wrapped itself in the well-established rhetoric of European nationalism, which does not exist in America and never has. Our liberties are indeed threatened, but by a tyranny of a very different sort.
Most of us imagine the transformation of a free society to a tyrannical state in Hollywood terms, as a melodramatic act of violence like a military coup or an armed insurrection. Tocqueville knows better. He foresees a slow death of freedom. The power of the centralized government will gradually expand, meddling in every area of our lives until, like a lobster in a slowly heated pot, we are cooked without ever realizing what has happened. The ultimate horror of Tocqueville’s vision is that we will welcome it,
and even convince ourselves that we control it.
There is no single dramatic event in Tocqueville’s scenario, no storming of the Bastille, no assault on the Winter Palace, no March on Rome, no Kristallnacht. We are to be immobilized, Gulliver-like, by myriad rules and regulations,
annoying little restrictions that become more and more binding until they eventually paralyze us.
Subjection in minor affairs breaks out every day and is felt by the whole community indiscriminately. It does not drive men to resistance, but it crosses them at every turn, till they are led to surrender the exercise of their own will.
Thus their spirit is gradually broken and their character enervated… <==
The tyranny he foresees for us does not have much in common with the vicious dictatorships of the last century, or with contemporary North Korea, Iran, or Saudi Arabia. He apologizes for lacking the proper words with which to define it. He hesitates to call it either tyranny or despotism, because it does not rule by terror or oppression. There are no secret police, no concentration camps, and no torture. "The nature of despotic power in democratic ages is not to be fierce or cruel, but minute and meddling." The vision and even the language anticipate Orwell’s 1984, or Huxley’s Brave New World. Tocqueville describes the new tyranny as "an immense and tutelary power,"
and its task is to watch over us all, and regulate every aspect of our lives.
It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd.
We will not be bludgeoned into submission; we will be seduced. He foresees the collapse of American democracy as the end result of two parallel developments that ultimately render us meekly subservient to an enlarged bureaucratic power:
the corruption of our character, and the emergence of a vast welfare state
that manages all the details of our lives.
His words are precisely the ones that best describe out current crisis:
That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?
The metaphor of a parent maintaining perpetual control over his child is the language of contemporary American politics. All manner of new governmental powers are justified in the name of "the children," from enhanced regulation of communications to special punishments for "hate speech;" from the empowerment of social service institutions to crack down on parents who try to discipline their children, to the mammoth expansion of sexual quotas from university athletic programs to private businesses. Tocqueville particularly abhors such new governmental powers because they are Federal, emanating from Washington, not from local governments. He reminds us that when the central government asserts its authority over states and communities,
a tyrannical shadow lurks just behind.
So long as local governments are strong, he says, even tyrannical laws can be mitigated by moderate enforcement at the local level, but once the central government takes control of the entire structure,
our liberties are at grave risk.
It is evident that our associations, along with religion one of the two keys to the great success of the American experiment, are prime targets for the appetite of the state. In the seamless web created by the new tyranny, everything from the Boy Scouts to smoking clubs will be strictly regulated.
It is no accident that the campaign to drive religion out of American public life began in the 1940s, when the government was consolidating its unprecedented expansion during the Depression and the Second World War, having asserted its control over a wide range of activities that had previously been entrusted to the judgment of private groups and individuals.
When we console ourselves with the thought that the government is, after all, doing it for a good reason and to accomplish a worthy objective, we unwittingly turn up the temperature under our lobster-pot. The road to the Faustian Deal is paved with the finest intentions,
but the last stop is the ruin of our soul.
Permitting the central government to assume our proper responsibilities is not merely a transfer of power from us to them; it does grave damage to our spirit. It subverts our national character. In Tocqueville’s elegant construction, it "renders the exercise of the free agency of man less useful and less frequent; it circumscribes the will within a narrower range and gradually robs a man of all the uses of himself." Once we go over the edge toward the pursuit of material wealth, our energies uncoil, and we become meek, quiescent and flaccid in the defense of freedom.
The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people,
till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.
The devilish genius of this form of tyranny is that it looks and even acts democratic.
We still elect our representatives, and they still ask us for our support. "…servitude of the regular, quiet, and gentle kind…might be combined with some of the outward forms of freedom, and…might even establish itself under the wing of the sovereignty of the people." Freedom is smothered without touching the institutions of political democracy. We act out democratic skits while submitting to an oppressive central power that we ourselves have chosen.
They devise a sole, tutelary and all-powerful form of government, but elected by the people…this gives them a respite: they console themselves for being in tutelage by the reflection that they have chosen their own guardians.
There is a very old joke about the husband who announces that he has a perfect marriage: he makes all the big decisions, and lets his wife deal with the minor matters. He decides when the country should go to war, while she manages the family budget. He decides who should govern America, and she makes all the decisions about the upbringing of the children: where they go to school, what they wear, how much allowance they receive, and so on. That is precisely the sort of division of powers Tocqueville fears for us. We will be permitted to make the big decisions: who will be president, and who will sit in the legislature. But it will not matter, because the state will decide how our money will be spent, how our children will be raised, and how we will behave, down to the details of the language we are permitted to use.
We laugh at the joke because we realize that the husband’s "big decisions" are meaningless; the same eventually applies to a "democratic" state that makes all our little decisions for us. Tocqueville unerringly puts his finger on the absurdity: we give power to the state in matters that require only simple good sense, as if we were incapable of exercising it. But we elect the government itself, as if we were the very incarnation of wisdom. We are "alternately made the playthings of [our] ruler, and his masters, more than kings and less than men."
We may chuckle, but it is the rueful laugh of the powerless, because such a government is far harder to resist than a traditional tyranny. "Nothing is so irresistible as a tyrannical power commanding in the name of the people," Tocqueville intones, because it wields the awesome moral power of the majority and "acts…with the quickness and the persistence of a single man."
As Tocqueville grimly predicted, modern totalitarians have thoroughly mastered this lesson. Nazis, Fascists and Communists have passionately preached sermons of equality, and constantly paid formal homage to the sovereignty of the people. Hitler proclaimed himself primus inter pares, the first among equals, while Mao and Stalin claimed their authority in the name of a classless society where everyone would be equal.
And, while Communism was brought to power by violent coups or by military conquest, Fascism was not installed by violence. Hitler and Mussolini were popular leaders, their authority was sanctioned by great electoral victories and repeated demonstrations of mass public enthusiasm, and neither of them was ever challenged by a significant percentage of the population. The great Israeli historian Jacob Talmon coined the perfect name for this perversion of the Enlightenment dream, which enslaves all in the name of all: totalitarian democracy.
(sounds like china's next evolutionary step?) These extreme cases help us understand Tocqueville’s brilliant warning that equality is not a defense against tyranny, but an open invitation to ambitious and cunning leaders who enlist our support in depriving ourselves of freedom. He summarizes it in two sentences that should be memorized by every American who cherishes freedom:
The…sole condition required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex, is simplified, and reduced, as it were, to a single principle.
As I said last time, we’re in for a hell of a fight. Or so I hope
=================
This writer of course is more polished and thorough than I, he gave Touceville' view and the cultural debasement of our society by the liberals and "equality", which is the object of the gov through socialization as pandered, but it is the same as my "Americans perpetually enslaved", where I highlight Wilson, FRD, LBJ, and now OBAMA, and hard reality and solutions, and the actual subtle steps of our enslavement, as the root causes of our collective enslavement.
Two side of the same coin, essentially, his cultural debasement/predictions and my stated actual acts and counter-solutions.

Le Patron,
Oink Oink Oink,
In Mr. James Cook's latest, from Investment Rarities he says: "That’s why taxes aren’t used as an incentive for resolving our economic problems. It’s too bad. Here’s what could be done. Any investor or homeowner who buys a house in the next two years wouldn’t have to pay any taxes on the gain. Any person or corporation investing in oil and gas drilling this year and next would pay no taxes on the resulting revenue for five years. Presto-chango!"
I have a big problem with Mr. Cooks' type of solutions. Not that they are politically Republican based, but that they are used to control our behavior. What gives the government any right whatsoever to control our lives, in any manner, excepting of course, punishing crimes? The ying and yang of DC are all actually on the same control-freak team. Make no mistake about that.
The Democrats, however, are far superior in creating the tools necessary to enslave Americans with their liberal progressivism, but both parties are indistinguishable, in reality, using FED interest rates and bailouts and incentives, FIAT MONEY, the IRS, and INCOME TAXES, that is, "the system" to control and enslaves our lives.
Our enslavement started, of course, with president Wilson's FED creation, the companion income taxes, and the companion IRS, to enforce that enslavement, where fiat targeted inflation rates steal wealth from the people, as well as legally tax more to destroy independent businesses that do not follow federal policies. If you don’t play the way government wants you to play, then you will be penalized for it. That is not freedom from a limited government, but enslavement to the BIG BROTHER NANNY STATE. FRD's raw deal and LBJ's corrupt society increased government roles in every aspect of our lives, as our freedoms are taken from us with each federal program and mandate, mostly initiated by the Democrats. But the Republicans also buy heavily into that enslavement as well, with targeted "tax incentives", ala Mr. Cook.
Thus, the Democrats have mostly created the means to control the people, while the Republicans play along, with a masked face of opposition, but then proceed to also exploit the evil doings of the Democrats, pretending they, the Republicans, are conservative, as both parties just keep on controlling us with their programs, mandates, and "incentives" to control and enslave the people by federal government. It matters not who created the leg irons, or who straps them on, we are enslaved by both of the political parties.
We had a constitution, now abandoned, indicating gold and silver real money, that limited government's ability to economically control our lives and our purse strings. We had a constitution where state rights were respected, yet now that states are more or less indistinguishable in large measure, all forced to walk in lock step with the mandates of the DC elitists. We had a constitution, now abandoned, indicating limited government. Even Mr. Cook, a real money believer, buys into tax regime control over our lives, rather than free market forces and personal liberty, though, given the political realities of the propagandized population and the FED-fiat-IRS regime in place, giving up upon principles, for immediate practical short term solutions, is widely accepted as a useful government means, that is, a "useful" control over our lives.
I hereby declare, that Tocqueville's 1835 prediction, has become reality, after 180 of progressive liberalism in the USA. Tocqueville was right, we Americans, with BHO now at the helm, have now entered the "totalitarian democracy" phase of the political and economical corruption of our constitution, our government, and our lives, through the government spending of trillions on social engineering and programs innumerable, with capitalism abandoned, and moral responsibility dead, as we as a weak-minded people, dependent on the state more and more, have voluntarily voted for the Big Brother Nanny State, whereby, after 100 years of progressive liberalism and pandering politicians, left and right, the people now readily accept their enslavement to government mandates and "incentives".
In response to Mr. Cook's incentive, I would like to remind him, that even a pig, when fed, will happily live in a pig sty, with an incentive and with freedom abandoned.

I say, CFTC, SEC, JPM et al banks and Barrick Gold are RICO-CLOWNS, for a conspiracy to defraud the American People as to THE STRONG DOLLAR POLICY, (while president Obama pretends change, and transparency, WHAT A CROCK!!)
President Obama, CFTC, SEC,
I would like to know just how fraudulent you people really are.
So, 3rd investigation into the concentrated silver short futures on the NY CRIMEX goes on and on, with no results, yet the percent of market concetration and control, and manipulative short selling of gold and silver, IS OBVIOUS. But I understand that the manipulated down gold prices are good for THE STRONG DOLLAR policy, and hence, the government either DIRECTS OR ENCOURAGES futures manipulation, as part of the our new BHO totalitarian democracy. OK, I GOT THAT.
But Does the fraudulent participation by the government with the bullion banks, through the blind-eyed CFTC and SEC enforcement, also extend to the MAJOR MINORS?
Barrack represented to the public they were UN-HEDGED.
That is a FACT.
In order to be a member of the HUI (miner index) Barrack had to be UN-HEDGE. Meaning, they did not forward sale mine production, (as a hedge against falling prices). So, Barrack Gold represented that they were unhedged, NO, forward sales.
THAT IS A FACT.
Now, we learn that Barrack has been hedged along.
Miners cut their hedging positions by 9 percent quarter-on-quarter to 15.52 million ounces between October and December last year, it said. AngloGold Ashanti and Barrick Gold were the biggest de-hedgers.
So, THE GFMS confirms that Barrick Gold is a MONSTER HEDGER.
THAT IS FACT.
IS THE SEC and CFTC, going to prosecute or fine BARRACK GOLD for false and misleading statements regarding their hedge book, (which is estimated at 9 million ounces at 5 billion dollars in the RED, that it hides from its shareholders)?

Gold hedging falls 9 pct in Q4 08 - GFMS
LONDON, March 12 (Reuters) - The rate at which gold miners cut their hedging positions slowed again in the fourth quarter of 2008 and is expected to decline "markedly" in 2009, metals consultancy GFMS said in a quarterly report.
Miners cut their hedging positions by 9 percent quarter-on-quarter to 15.52 million ounces between October and December last year, it said. AngloGold Ashanti and Barrick Gold were the biggest de-hedgers.

Oh that’s interesting! "AngloGold Ashanti and Barrick Gold were the biggest de-hedgers".
From Barrick May 1, 2007 Quarterly Earnings Press release
QUOTE
Barrick Produces 2 Million Ounces of Gold at $313 Per Ounce; Corporate Gold Sales Contracts Fully Eliminated
As a result of Barrick's decision to eliminate its Corporate Gold Sales Contracts, the Company's net income was reduced by $557 million ($0.63 per share) on an after tax basis. Consequently, the Company reported a net loss of $159 million ($0.18 per share) and operating cash flow of $163 million ($0.19 per share). Excluding the impact of the elimination of the Corporate Gold Sales Contracts, adjusted earnings of $398 million ($0.45 per share) and adjusted operating cash flow of $727 million ($0.83 per share) compare to prior year adjusted results of $263 million ($0.33 per share) and $425 million ($0.54 per share), respectively.
"The Company's portfolio of mines had a strong start in 2007", said Greg Wilkins, President and CEO. "Going forward, our operating mines are completely unhedged, able to sell production at spot prices and thereby enjoy expanded margins in this strong gold price environment."
END
From their quarterly report the average investor would think that Barrick was unhedged…after all they use phrases like "fully eliminated" and "completely unhedged"! The only thing that was "complete" was that it was completely fraudulent to give the impression they were unhedged.
Was it clear to the average person that they had parked their toxic hedges in the undeveloped Pascua-Lama project? Hell no! Even the mining analysts were fooled…..

A Buy recommendation has recently been issued to mining giant Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) by Zacks senior mining industry analyst Paul Raman, CFA. Here's what his latest update had to say about it:
"Barrick is the largest gold mining company in the world. Profitability is increasing due to rising gold prices, an unhedged book and synergies from the Placer Dome acquisition. The company’s financials are solid. Profitability is increasing for Barrick. The company is fully leveraged to the rise in gold prices.
"The company’s hedge book has rolled off all of its hedges, and currently, none are in place. The company is completing the achievement of synergies from the Placer Dome acquisition. It is estimated that there is $200 million of cost cutting yet to be done.
END
Barrick has completely fooled many investors AND analysts into thinking that they were unhedged and now they are covering at $800-$900 per oz. GATA warned both Anglo and Barrick that hedging at $300-$400 was pure insanity unless they were part of the Cartel’s activity!
Cartel hedge honcho Goldman Sachs has completely covered their short position on the TOCOM and now Anglo and Barrick are scrambling to de-hedge…do you smell smoke?
=================
Barrick Gold, a modern Racketeer?
We all know who Barrick Gold is, the world's king in gold bullion production, having a monster hedge book of 9.5 million ounces. It is of general belief that hedging is good for developers to provide necessary funds to launch production, but not so good for the majors, having reserves, production, and cash flow, when well managed, offering the potential of increasing growth of the company within the current business cycle. On this basis, the hedge book at Barrack is unwarranted and could lead to billions in down stream losses and shareholder value ruination in the normal course of business. However, it appears that Barrick's gold business is not so normal.
Mr. C. Powell, of GATA fame, has recently indicated that the hedge position of Barrick could be use to acquire some 50 mil oz of Au in deep storage, and hence, improve Barrick's very long term outlook. I have been thinking along these lines as well for over a year now, and am so grateful to Mr. Powell for putting it in writing for all to consider. However, there is a twist, that should not go unrecognized.
Anyone recall Placer Dome, Homestake Mining, Pangea Goldfields, Pioneer Metals, Arequipa Resources, Sutton Resources, and others that are now gone? Competition in the gold industry has been destroyed in some measure, undeniably so. When a major, already in the driver seat, with reserves, production, cash flow, seeks to hedge further production for purposes of growth through acquisition, then what the major effectively does is MANIPULATE bullion price down on the short side of bullion, depressing competitors share value to their disadvantage, for Barrick's short term loss of value as well, during this hedge "dumping", for purposes of monopolizing the gold production industry by acquiring all competitors and all gold resources, on the cheap, and in doing this, BARRICK could be considered the roaming thugs of the gold mining community, and could possibly be CRIMINAL RACKETEERS, with predatory practices that must have limits, ala the anti-trust actions of the early 1900s. There is no difference between Standard Oil and Barrick, is there?. This might be the basis of the Blanchard anti-trust case against Barrick et al.
On moral grounds and fair-dealing principles only, no one should touch any major with a hedge position, especially the very biggest ones on the hunt for acquisitions. Dehedge your hedge book, then, ok, all is fair, but it aint. Personally, I wont support what I believe to be criminal racketeering. Our great country realized the down-falls of monopolies some 100 years ago, and yet, it seems, we forget these lessons, time and time again, and don’t remain vigilant to the evils of greed in corporate America and in the world. Lets all thank GATA and Mr. Powell, for attempting to keep the gold mining industry fair and competitive, and stop Barrick's apparent desire to become the world's ONLY gold producer and the gold industries' biggest criminal as a modern racketeer.

Hedge Fund Momentum Players are Obscene Mob Bosses
Posted by Derrick Michael Reid on Monday, March 16, 2009 11:28:22 AM
Easy as Pie (June 2008)
The GOLD CARTEL and their allied silver price managers have really kicked the PM sector, time and time again, and at times have their way with things, driving down bullion prices to give the appearance of strong fiat paper money, the illusion persists. And yet again, as now, the GOLD CARTEL attempts to cap the rate of increases in bullion prices so as not to scare the sheeple and to pretend that all is fine with fiat paper money, perfected through their surreptitious bullion bank gold sales, swaps, loans for short selling, with their manipulative concentrated short futures positions, and with their naked short share selling. Sure, its unfair, its un-American, its anti-competitive, and it is inherently duplicitous. But that is not the point, we have accepted it as the status quo.
Any of you gold bugs mad? Any of you silver bugs upset? Come on, do tell us all how really mad you are. Are you hot as hell? Are you willing to grab a gun, and go hunting for the perpetrators, and defend your rights in the AMERICAN TRADITION? Well, 90 millions of us Americans have guns, yet not a shot has been fired in anger against the perpetrators of the gold suppression scheme, destroying our REAL CONSTITUTIONAL MONEY. Where are the good old vigilantes when you really need them? Well you gold bugs, may be upset, and may be armed, but I don’t think any of you have the guts to show your disgust through targeted violence against the GOLD CARTEL for their market manipulation. Most bugs, just kick it, and hope Midas, GATA, et al, will win the day to defeat the GOLD CARTEL with mere words. Sticks and stones, they say in reply. I call all that being really a bunch of gold pussies, relying on others to correct the wrong. And you bugs, you all can count me in on that characterization, as I will not, under any circumstance, encourage or call for out right REVOLT or REBELLION against any government or their enablers, or any of the banksters, who really should be hung high in the public square. Nope, not for mere money or profits will I call for armed riots, revolt, or rebellion of any kind. The GOLD CAREL, the OIL CARTEL, the SILVER PRICE MANAGERS, they all do it, manipulate markets, and yeah, we know all about that, and we just live with it, don’t we? What a bunch of pussies, me included!
Today there is a new critical action on the commodities scene that is deadly serious, and must be taken very seriously, and must be resolved without any further delay, like right now! There is a new group of monsters on the manipulation scene, but this lot has a very different agenda, they want to hedge fund food prices into the stratosphere to make riches, not based upon supply and demand, but merely upon hedge fund made price momentum, and in so doing, starve people to death, while riches are made. Ain't that nice. The villainy of the Gold Cartel gold price suppression pales in comparison to those who would seek to profit through the starving of fellow human beings. It cant get any sicker than that as a way to make a buck. But one thing is sure, you starve me or my family, and I would be locked and loaded at the nearest food store in a single stomach growl.
What is the result of food price speculation? Well, Haiti is up in flames, riots are breaking out in Bangladesh, rice producers around the world are now hoarding food stocks, and more people than normal are starving and will increasingly starve, to death. The black flag of the hedge fund managers indicates that they will take no prisoners, its all about profits. This is not some white collar crime, but mass murder on a global scale giving rise to a global militancy that will have more of an affect on the price of gold than a 1000 GATA conferences. These starving people are not like us Americans, who just sit back and take it, as those being starved really have no other choice but to revolt. Starvation is a tremendous motivator, even to violence, if necessary, and if these world food prices don’t come down, come down big, and soon, the starving masses may just do the deed for us gold bugs.
Oil is going up, as are base metals, and as are food stores. But, you cant eat oil, nor base metals, nor bullion for that matter, but you must eat food to survive. This global food crises, while pathetically hurting the most vulnerable, will be a god-send to us gold and silver bugs and real money believers. It may just be that catalyst that returns the world to real money ahead of schedule. There is NO STOPPING the ramp up in food prices, as food prices will follow the oil price hikes, and commodities in general, and will run wild, especially now with the dog-pile mentality of the hedge fund momentum players on the heels of massive liquidity pumping over the last year, that takes time to affect increased inflationary expectations. The stage for a global disaster could not have been set up more perfectly, by the banksters, manipulators, and momentum players. With the late 07 and early 08 pumping of mass liquidity into the economies around the world, food price hikes have just begun in earnest. The resulting food hoarding is going to get really nasty and really fast around the world. Food prices are high, going much higher, and the world will be thrown, very shortly, into massive global riots, revolts, and rebellions, unless, of course, the world governments act, act seamlessly, collectively, and cohesively, and quickly. Time is of the essence. But how will they act together?
The concentrated COT interest is the easiest target for governments, to perfect a sudden change in speculative prices. It all depends on the motivation to act, and riots, revolts and rebellions tend to get the attention of office holders to move them off their collective butts and do something to fix it. With food prices soaring, with riots now, and revolts just around the corner, governments may act to intervene, and limit futures speculation. Long and short future positions may be limited in quantity per entity, to stop the surging speculative price action in food stores. But this measure should not be specifically targeted to only food stores, as there are laws against commercial discrimination, targeting one group but not another. GATA should remain circumspective and vigilant to point out any unfair discrimination across the entire commodities futures markets. The UN and member countries have a vast array of interests, and any global solution would not be only food specific targeting, as all commodities would be up for censure. Hence, any solution would be UN based and comprehensive across the commodities complex. If you seek to curb long and short speculation and concentrated positions, under the US Constitution, if that document has any more respect these days, the curb must be applied across the board to all commodities, and that includes oil, gas, coal, base metals, food stuff, and of course, and here is the kicker, the precious metals complex.
Governments will have to act, and act fast now, to stem the rising food riots and pending revolts. The only quick fix is to limit futures trading, and that may mean limiting the number of futures contracts per entity, or something of that kind. If such futures curbs are put into place to stop the speculation in food store, the futures curbs should be lawfully applied across the board. As such, these global food riots will force immediate action by governments world wide, which will collectively act to curb futures speculations, which in turn will dismantle the obscene massive manipulative short positions in the precious metal complex, and KABOOOM, the Dollar Index to 0.25, the UN begins treaty talks on abolishing fiat money world wide, and the world sits on the edge of a conversion to a global real money economy. If that occurs, the Gold Cartel is doomed, the suppression game is up, the whole global fiat money complex collapses, and $5000/oz gold by November 08 will be a piece of cake, and then, returning the world markets to a real money gold and silver global economy, will be, as easy as pie.
Derrick
As long as naked short sales (inherent fraud, selling something you dont even own) are allowed in commodities futures and short sales are allow in stocks (which destroys corporate capital using shares that are supposed to be used to build not destroy corporations), contrarty to the whole purpose futures markets and equity markets, hedge fund momentum mob boss players can make billions in bonuses manipulating and destroying markets, at the expense of the people, and it is obscene and inherently criminal theft and market destruction.
And as predicted, controls were not placed upon bullion short sale manipulations, as the CFTC has a blind eye to criminal bullion manipulation. Why? Because suppressed bullion prices support the strong FIAT dollar policy and maintains power in the DC elitists.
==================
Charge Boys, and Give'em the Cold Steel
Grandpa, in the late 50s, as I recall well, would each day visit the banks, and get bangs of coins, and he would methodically go through them all, one by one, with a magnified glass, whereat, I learned of little markings like "D" "S" minted on the coins, as they were neatly placed in the blue socketed coin books. But there was one coin of which I will always remember, the 1943 steel penny. I suppose many people today have never even seen one. I have. They are real and do exist. Mostly made of Iron, they are literally dirt cheap to produce, despite a tad of zinc. When base metal prices were high then during WWII and supplies were limited, yet needed for the war effort, the government simply starting minting steel pennies. The government can do and has done whatever it wants to our USA money.
The copper penny came back, and had relative real value to monetized silver. Our coinage money was in intrinsic balanced. We all knew what we had in our pockets and wallets. But then came the 60s, the cost of the Vietnam War and the Great Society and trips to the Moon, and the government stopped minting silver dimes and quarters and halves as the government moved toward decoupling the dollar from silver and gold, violating the constitution and debasing our money, to wage war, social engineer, and impress the Russkies. The government has over spent and debased the dollar, on a power trip extending around the globe. To continue the power trip, the deficits continue and that means continuously debasing the dollar, resulting in staggering inflation at times, with moderate inflation now becoming systemic in the US economy. The systematic debasing of monetized silver and gold through 100 years of inflationary practices for more government control seems as though it will last forever, or until a fatal global collapse of all fiat money. Is there really a zero value of anything? May be not. General Sherman burnt CSA script to keep warm at night as Georgia howled using worthless fiat. Keeping warm on a cold night does has some monetary value, does it not?
The government may not have counted on base metals rising to the highs of late. The copper penny and nickel nickel have survived to this day, but with base metal prices increasing relative to the fiat dollar, the penny and nickel are becoming way over valued to where it may become profitable to hoard pennies and nickels, and effectively take them out of circulation. Something needs to be done now so as to be able to replace these prospective vanishing pennies and nickels which will most certainly vanish from circulation in the near future, simply because they are worth more than 1/100 and 1/20 of a fiat dollar, respectively. Its common "cents".
As the government continues its undisciplined monetary policies, void of monetized silver and gold in circulation, the penny and nickel will go by way of that dinosaur, the silver dime. Sure copper pennies and nickel nickels will be around, if you care to buy them by the bag full for capital gains. It seems clear in the short term, the government will continue to use its no-limit credit card of the bond market to charge more and more debt and continue to debase the dollar, in so doing, shrinking its real value, each day. The penny and nickel in circulation will be history, and very soon, I suspect, and you will know exactly when to start hoarding the penny and nickel, just listen for a treasury hue&cry, "charge boys, and give'em the cold steel".
Derrick
The debasement of our money goes hand in hand with the debasement of our collective morality, in the dumpster of decadent godless socialism.
Actually, the penny and nickle do not contain historical amounts of copper and nickle being debased already by zinc, as the penny and nickle are going by way of the silver dime quarter and halves. But even the tiny amount of silver, copper and nickle left in our coinage, all of that instrinsic worth will be gone as well, as all coinages is reduced to steel, the cheapest metal of durability.
They are no pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters and dollars, our coinage is a absolute fraud upon the American people, who have voted for socialistic DC controls used to support our TOTALITARIAN DEMOCRACY and the DC elistist vote-pandering power trips, that has ruined our money, since the creation of the FED-IRS-FIAT complex that has ENSLAVED us all.
========
Yeah Yeah Yeah, the DC elistists could not do something so criminal and inherently as controlling the markets, right?
JPM is the FED's bank in drag and does the government bidding, for inside gov trader information for profit in manipulating bullion down to serve the strong dollar policy. YOU THINK IM KIDDING? Wake up folks, there is no transparency in DC, nor in our markets.

Dear CIGAs,
Here are two Jims and a Dan on the same page!
Comex gold trading is a paper game: Jim Rogers
2009-03-15 23:00:00
Commodity Online
Even as gold spot and futures prices surge globally and bullion analysts continue to predict that the yellow metal prices will zoom to astronomical levels ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, there is more opposition coming to the paper gold at Comex.
Renowned global commodities investor and analyst Jim Rogers says gold trading at Comex, a division of Nymex, is a paper game and not a physical game.
”If you can take 50% of the gold away from the Comex then the price will be closer to what you are paying for physical today. If you take 50% of anything away, you know take 50% of IBM away the prices are going to go up,” said Rogers, a vocal critic of America and Britain, who left the United States to settle down Singapore.
"It should be obvious that these two very large banks could exert a disproportionate share of influence on the small silver futures market if they were so inclined. When just two traders are allowed by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and ExchangeCommission (SEC) to accumulate so massive a position that it constitutes an overwhelmingly large percentage of the action; when the authorities allow just two banks to literally dominate a market with the weight of their own trading, traders are left to speculate on what the largest traders are going to do instead of concentrating on the supply/demand fundamentals and legitimate price discovery. "
In an interview to Warren Bevan of Gold Seek, Rogers, author of such famous books like Hot Commodities and A Bull in China, who recently launched an agricultural commodities index focused on food consumption in China, said: “If somebody removes 50% of gold from the market, or 50% of anything from the market it’s going to have an effect on the price. A guy who does it, has his own situation. He’s got to come up with a place to store it, insure it and everything else. And if and when he comes back to the market he may have a huge problem because the market will be sitting there waiting for him. Again remove 50% of anything from any market, it has an effect. Burn down half the houses in Phoenix I assure you it would have an effect in the housing market in Phoenix.”
Rogers said that now many things have been used as money. Silver, copper, ivory, many, many, many things. “In fact silver has been used through history much more than gold as a monetary medium of exchange,” he said.
Is silver being artificially held down? “No, I don’t buy that. I know the conspiracy theorists say that but if it were true over the past thirty years there would have to have been hundreds of thousands of people who would know about it and be part of the conspiracy,” said Rogers, who along with billionaire investor George Soros founded the successful Quantum Fund.
It is not just Rogers alone who is upset at the way Comex gold is going. Bevan points out that there is something going on in gold. “The Comex stocks have hardly changed since December and demand and deliveries have been substantial. Also the ETF’s have added over $3 billion just this January. I don’t know where they get their gold but certainly not the Comex.”
Now, do you know that some large American banks are dominating the gold market in the world? Or some of the same banks that helped spawn the current global financial crisis, have the largest positioning in gold and silver futures at Comex, a division of Nymex?
Here is an excerpt from an interesting story that Commodity Online carried sometime back:
”Noted gold market analyst Gene Arensberg, has reviewed the latest gold and silver market data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission from a trading standpoint and observes that the largest traders are positioning themselves for a fall in gold but not so much for a fall in silver.
The very largest traders for gold and silver are, wouldn’t you know it, big U.S. banks. It looks like a few big banks, some of the same ones whose brilliant management helped spawn a global financial crisis, have the largest positioning in gold and silver futures. As of February 3, their positioning in gold and silver futures was big all right – big and short the market for gold, somewhat less short silver comparatively speaking.
A short position means the trader profits if prices fall.
According to the monthly CFTC Bank Participation in Futures and Options Market report released Friday, February 6, two large reporting U.S. banks held zero long and 27,189 short futures positions in COMEX silver futures as of February 3. All commercial traders as a group held a net short silver position of 33,173 contracts that same day; so just two banks held 81.96% of all the COMEX commercial net short positioning for silver.
It should be obvious that these two very large banks could exert a disproportionate share of influence on the small silver futures market if they were so inclined. When just two traders are allowed by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and ExchangeCommission (SEC) to accumulate so massive a position that it constitutes an overwhelmingly large percentage of the action; when the authorities allow just two banks to literally dominate a market with the weight of their own trading, traders are left to speculate on what the largest traders are going to do instead of concentrating on the supply/demand fundamentals and legitimate price discovery.
Isn’t that the equivalent of subjects wondering what price the King will decree rather than citizens all haggling in their own self interest to determine a market price? Or, as one trader put it recently, is the COMEX silver market waiting on JP Morgan Chase to show its hand or make a move?
=============
The banks are corrupt operating on anti-trust action led by the FED bank with their continued INTERVENTIONS, and Ben will use ALL TOOLS AVAILABLE, (no matter how corrupt and socialistic they are, as the hedge fund mob bosses manipulate any market and particularly commodiites, to support our voted-for godless decadent socialism in our TOTALITARIAN DEMOCRACY.
When you all finally get it, your minds are liberated, and you become self-reliant and brave to face down, the modern EVIL ENSLAVERS, that is the belt-way, that is the leg iron, that is the DC control over all our lives.
Or maybe you just prefer your next unemployment compensation check.
(Best guess is you all could care less about freedom, just get that next hand out, and live happily in a national pig sty, with freedom abandoned. My Fellow Americans, YOU ARE ALL COWARDS, in my book)
Have a nice day, cashing in that GOVERNMENT enslaving check.

President Obama,
I am absolutely certain, that your current efforts to bail out the BANKSTERS and hedge fund mob bosses, will throw the world into a global depression, if not already baked into the cake, but will necessarily, destroy the fiat money complex, (which is actually a good thing), in the long run, which doves tails back into to destroying all social nets, (and hence your actions are self-defeating), as real gold and silver money can not be just printed to feed the rodent heard for gov-care from the big brother nanny state. You are the president, and deserve respect, but if you continue on your merry lefty socialistic ways, you may just be remembered as COMRAD HUSSIAN.

Putin's Absolute Rule
There was the NKVD, Stalin's henchmen, who, on orders from Stalin's, executed in 1940 the polish intelligencia, fearing they would oppose soviet occupation and domination, including 61000 people of which 15000 were civilian professionals and the polish elite, and 9000 Polish Army officers, 4800 of which were found by the Nazi in 1943 in a mass grave in the Katyn Forest in Eastern Poland. Then we had the KGB, Kruchev-Brezhnev's Boys who kept an eye on Eastern Europe, during which OUR PAL PUTIN, got his training.
Now we have the FSB, the Russian Federation Secret Bureau under control of Moscow and that means Putin in fact and concurrently soon Medvedia by law. The stink of course was the assassination of the KGB spy, with poloium, purportedly done by the Russians under orders from Moscow. I don’t really have a problem with a sovereign government ordering the assassination of a spy turn-coat, the problem of course, was that the deed was done on British soil, with London in a fuss and demanding extradition of the alleged assassin, with Moscow refusing, of course, and in retribution to the extradition clamor, the Russians are shutting down British-Counsel offices, one of which was the recently targeted one in Ekatrinburg, east of Moscow, and all of which are purportedly cultural exchange offices, teaching English and Western Culture to Russians, the charges being alleged trump up charges of tax evasion, and alleging its a spy front, as Putin attempts to apparently silence non-government organization (NGOs), particularly foreign ones, from operating in Russia, and meddling in Russia's internal affairs. This is kind of like Nixon's "outside agitators" operating on the UC Berkeley campus or others in the early 70s. The difference of course is that Nixon was a War President, and Putin is not, and so, the justifications for sensorship does not seem apparent in Russia. What do they have to loose, with free speech, by anyone, I ponder continuously, without result.
Maybe PM Brown should follow Churchill's then example, and ignore the executions, to preserve the alliance. That is, let it go, to sustain the cultural exchanges, the long term gain, for Russia and the world.
I get the over all impression that Moscow, and that means Putin, just does not like the west telling Russia that it needs further reforming and hurting control that may be deemed necessary to keep Russia on track improving its economy. Of course, I have no way of really telling the truth of any of it, from my garage computer. But cultural tendencies are hard to change, and the NKVD set a standard early on, that’s for sure. Of course Putin has done nothing of that nature, but the problem was not the executions per se, but the absolute rule that eventually corrupts absolutely.
Who really knows why Moscow is so resistance to absolute free speech, maybe its just cultural, and many Russians just don’t care, anyway. I don’t fully understand them, nor do I really know it all. I doubt if Professor Igor's english book on Russian culture, will explain Putin's motivations satisfactory. So, the mystery will continue.
But, with Putin as PM and Medvedeva as President, look out for the good-cop bad-cop routine on the international stage. Medvedeva is perfect as the international polite face man, and I think from Putin's power play perspective was a great choice. I of course will be advising Putin that Stalin's image just aint that great these days, as the world looks in retrospect, on absolute controls. Putin so far has done very well for Russia, and his legacy, is now his to loose in disgrace or cement in glory, in perpetuity.
=====
Putin has done a very good job cementing an energy empire for Russia, and gets very high marks for that.
Putin did not change the constitution for a 3rd term, and get very high marks for that.
Putin held RUSSIA together as an integrated country, and the world needs Russia to emerge as a strong economic force, and get very very high marks for that.
Putin defeated the chechnian rebellion, (as part of the war on terror), and get very very high marks for that, despite wold political opposition to his heavy hand there, that was and is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED.
Putin did resurrect Russian pride, after the defeat of soviet Russia, and get very high marks for that.
Consequently, Putin has enjoyed, justifiably so, high domestic support.
However, with that support, and his cultural historical background, he has to be careful and not CONTROL to much, as it may be his undoing in the out years.
Putin was justified in sedating the Chenenia Rebellion.
Putin was justified in holding Russia together as one country.
Putin was justified in going into S. Ossetia.
Putin was justified is forcing Ukraine to pay a fair price.
Putin was justified in seeking PM post, UNDER LAW.
The problem is that, he may repeat his Georgian mistake, with his soviet and control prospensities, and OVER PLAY HIS HAND, and be remembered as a tyrant, rather than a democrat. But either way, Russia is locked into the global movement, and will become more democratic as the decades march on, and the old soviet population dies off. DONE DEAL.
In 25 years, US and RUSSIA will be close partners, and basically on the same team, which, in large measure they effectively are today, though you would not know it reading the press reports. The CORE members are essentially on the same team, in the global confluence.
The best thing for the WORLD, is for BHO to approach Putin, (they/he loves being respected on the world stage), with an olive branch, with offers to support full EU, WTO and NATO Russian integration, with return promises to curb Iranian and N Korean Nukes (which are allot closer to Russia than the US territories), as both powers fight together the war on terror.
There are ABSOLUTELY no justifications for any hostilities between the YANKS and BEARS, in this 21st century.
Much of the hostility is based upon cultural and historical backgrounds, rather than an accurate apraisal of the current state of affairs.
If Putin could only see the future, and become a world class hero and a true democrat, and join the West, as we as a global people conflue together. 20th century is gone, and good riddens. Russia should also give back the Japan WWII island to Japan, for a very heavy heavy price, say 500 tonnes of gold. Putin needs this gold to then force the UN to abandon fiat money, and hence, the US fiat reserve currency.
Thereby removing a border distput with Japan which was WRONG in WWII, enabling EU/NATO integration, and global respect as a team player. And yes, I pray for Putin and BHO, for wisdom, (even though I cant stand socialists).
For those who can see it, for what it exactly is:
Russia has moved from Tsarist Reign to Totalitarian Communism to Totalitarian Democracy.
America has moved from Democratic Capitalism to Democratic Regulated Markets, to Totalitarian Democracy.
WHAT's the DIFFERENCE????? nearly zippo. Both have cultural background retarding those movements, from opposing political directions, but, both are meeting in the center of Totalitarian Democracy. Putin's henchmen may very well stifle the press, as the DC elitists bailout the banksters. Which is more EVIL? Flip a coin, I say. China has moved from Totalitarian Capitalism to Totalitarian Communism to Totalitarian Regulated Markets, and will also eventually get to, well you guessed it, Totalitarian Democracy, that is, the projected NEW WORLD ORDER. Totalitarian Democracy, is code speak for socialism, already cemented in the EU, which led the way, with Russia and the US not far behind, with China trailing a bit behind US-Russian cultural political evolution.
This socialism can only be sustained through a FIAT COMPLEX that allows government to secretly cheat and steal wealth from the people, to concentrate power in government, to perfect programs and mandates, in addition to progressive tax rates, both of which are inherently socialistic, and evil, but also, inherently unsustainable, and hence, causes periodic collapses of the fiat regimes, as the average fiat money last about 40 years, and Nixon closed the gold window in 1972, and 2012 is the when the FRN fiat collapse should be upon the world, as the FRN dollar is the world reserve currency.
WE ARE ALL FREAKING DOOMED!!
Totalitarian Democracy is OUT RIGHT socialism but with approval by the free-speech voters, and it is based upon:
the peoples voting approval of, all according to their ability, and all according to their need, per Karl Marx on the USSA.
Communism is an economic system, not a political state, which system is where the state owns all property.
Communism is a failure, because it does not reward human greed to maximize productivity.
Capitalism and Socialism go through cyclic or secular movements. Socialism is currently peaking with fiat controls, as real money is suppressed and capitalism highly regulated. The pendulum swings, however, over the eons, and in 20 years, we will be back to PROSPEROUS times with a revival of capitalism, only to then be taken down again, as the collective COMPASSION over comes us all, leading to then another failure of socialism. And so on. But, the up coming global TRADE WARS, may suppress socialism in the far out years. We as a global people may just learn something new. Have faith, and realize that fiat money is inherently fradulent and is in its death throws, and so is Socialism, that is sustained only on that fraudulent money. Real Honest Money, budgets, and capitalism will return again, from the ashes of broken leftist promises, and will return next time world wide, as all compete in the up coming global trade wars. Have faith my friends, as night follows days, there will be a rebirth of self-reliance, self-reward, self-respect, and maximized productivity and individual charity, and improved over all standards of living, we just have to go through these periods of cry-baby decadent godless socialism, and resulting loss of wealth, from time to time. Until, we as a global people, finally, GET IT, and that is, we are human beings, individuals, and not monotones well suited to government dictates and dependency. But after the collapse, and gold replaces fiat, as war will be replaced by the TRADE WARS, in the global confluence, where a premium is placed upon productivity, and that means, a CAPITALISTIC REBIRTH about the globe in this democracy (and ultimately capitlistic) century.
Currently, it is sad but true, we live in the UNITED SOCIALISTIC STATES of AMERICA.
Decadent Godless Socialism reigns supreme in the land of the enslaved and the cowards.
So, friends, live long (on gov-care) but dont prosper (as the state will take it from you), until we throw off the yoke of DC elitist socialism and return to our beloved democratic capitalism.
Until then, peace be with you, ................................... comrads.

If you lefties dont start challenging me on all this capitalism stuff, the cafe just might become a wolf's lair of RIGHT WING CONSPIRATORS.
=======
G20 finance ministers said they would do ANYTHING it takes. And, I hope they do, as the more they do, the faster FIAT will become worthless and ultimately abolished, a good thing, so let them dig their own grave, or the graves for the fiat assets, to hasten the return of REAL HONEST MONEY.
=======
It is a shame however, that most of the lefties here, (all was fine a dandy degrading Bush for 8 years, until I appeared), started crying to BILL because you could not stand to hear my aggressive terror war positions, ala blockade Iran, because now, I dont even bother sending Bill missives with mostly political content, and hence, YOUR SENSORSHIP has worked well, SHUT UP THE OPPISTION is the leftest mantra, while pretending to be FREE SPEECH CHAMPIONS. The left is the most intellectually corrupt and dishonest people on earth.
Above, I (and only I as far as I know) have preached war/fiat to trade/gold transistion in the out years, and now this day, explain WHY capitalism will be reborn in the decades to come, because of the premium placed upon productivity will become the driving force in global power politics.
NO ONE, in the world, brings you such a furturistic comprehensive view, and reasons therefore, and it is a shame, is it not, that MIDAS does not even, these days, get a first look see, for posting on leMenu.
Well, with new members, such as, "jesusislord" on board, things are changing, and perhaps one day, Bill will ask me back to get first dibs on polished missives, NO MATTER HOW RIGHT WING and WAR MONGERING.
First, we will need Jonnie to lead us all in prayer vigil.

My townhall postings this weekend were all over southern california radio talk shows.
I used to be called, stuck on stupid, crazy, ignorant, (you known, all the good leftist characterization of the right), but now, I dont ever hear a peep, my have things changed in the cafe over the last 3 years, and will last at least 4 more years, and many pounce on BHO for allowing rigging the gold market.
WHAT COMES AROUND, GOES AROUND.

is the first of 53 posting, which is the core of the positions, for those interested.

I can work with what we have, and for four years, BHO, is the president.
==================
I do not want BHO to simply fail.
I do not want to simply discredit BHO.
I do not want BHO's programs to simply fail.
However, I do expect BHO's socialism, to fail miserably, because it is inherently falacious, immoral, corrupting, and inherently self defeating.
But just like Hilter's Nazi Germany, and Stalin's Communistic Russia WERE BOTH GOOD THINGS, (as we learn from them what evil really looks like), BHO's full blown, AND I MEAN FULL BLOWN, venture in the socialism, will teach us Americans how stagnating is fiat money and its companion socialistic objectives, and in that, BHO is a very good thing for our children's education, though allot of people are going to loose big in the process, in advance of the coming GLOBAL TRADE WARS where capitalistic productivity will have a huge premium as the war machine substitute in the world power plays. BHO is here to teach us American a very good constructive lession of MONEY-CULTURE-POLITICS and social engineering, through, NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, as part of the social-econo-poltitical learning experience of man kind, during the assent of man. (Rush Limbalh failed to drive the point home, and why.)
On the international front, I do hope BHO succeeds, regardless of how the actions are spun to the public.
He is perfect to get the Russians on the global team, though I bet, with his socialism, he will tic off the Chinese BIG TIME!!
I dont care, if you call it the war on terror by islamofascists with indefinite and harsh incarcernation, or an international interpole police round up for criminals for prison terms in luxuroius suits with TVs Pools, literature, library, and militant preachers, as those are political labels.But I do want the islamofascists defeated, NO MATTER HOW BHO characterizes his actions to the left, and defeat the throat slitters is what he will try to do, I believe. He already struck in pakiland, and has shown to be A KILLER, a very good sign.

Devils and Angles, America's National Birth Rights
Our nation was born of little devils and angles. Over here on our right shoulders are still those little imaginary devils that are actually inside all of us, not just the right wingers. Over there on our left shoulders are still those little imaginary angles, that are actually inside all of us, not just the left wingers. These little devils and angles are the ying yang of human nature, born from human individualism, and sustained throughout the ages, as the human balance within us all. It is what make us who we are as human being, it defines mankind, that makes us what we innately are.
It has been the devils inside that has led to personal aggression to achieve, to fight wickedness bravely, to hunt successfully for survival, to provide individual motivation to conquer all in our individual ways, to not be our brother's keeper, but our own keeper, that is the spirit of self reliance, that generates self respect, and personal determination, and is really centered in greed and selfishness. It is an indispensable part of us all. The devils inside are what makes us strong and productive especially when rewarded for our own individual efforts. Without our little devils, we would have no back bone, no muscle, no stomach, to accomplish anything. We need our little devils inside.
It has been the angles inside that has led to personal compassion to help others, to praise god almighty, to provide compassionate charity, to be our brother's keeper, to voluntarily give up our riches for the survival and needs of others, providing individual motivations to seek peace with our maker and others, that is the spirit of charity, that generates pride in helping others in need, and is really centered in selflessness. It is an indispensable part of us all. The angles inside are what makes us collectively good and noble people when giving the fruits of our efforts to others in need. Without our little angles, mass murder, corruption, and utter decadent failure would result. We need our little angles inside.
You cant change the intrinsic human being. God and mother nature has made us what we are. We are what we are. You can legislate, imprison, control, dominate, tax, and suppress a society, but you cant change our individual human nature, our little devils and angles. Our human nature is to do godly deeds yet also to seek riches as well, and this duality as been with us forever. Its has been with us for the eons before and will remain with us for the eons to come. Its apparently God's and mother nature's way, to have within us, the inherent conflict, to be sorted out individually, to generate riches and conquer all, yet, to provide charity and compassion to all, in individual life long struggles for each and every one of us. As individuals, some become consumed by the devils into mass deceit, corruption, and pure evil, and, others are consumed by the angles leading to an unmanageable, self-defeating, and bankrupting welfare states that enslaves and imprisons many into life long governmental dependency, but, by and large, most of us find a suitable balance between our devils and angles, and are positioned in the center of an individualized bell curve continuum of the devil angle ratio that is within each and every one of us.
Governments around the world habitually seek to control the people according to their dictates, to seek order from the apparent chaos of individualism, as no two humans beings are exactly alike, and no two humans will react to the same government laws, dictates and regulations, and hence, most controlling governments are inherent failures. Governments seek precision, order, and control. Governments seek a perfectly operating societal machine in utopia out from the chaos of millions and millions of individuals in internal conflict between their devils and angels, to force us all into a state of absolute equality, contrary to our liberty and nature, where our own devils and angels are suppressed and imprisoned, as government is made the big brother nanny state enslaving us to pay homage to the capital monuments, as recently exhibited by the our new president.
Governments make the mistake, time and time again, in trying to sedate our human nature, being it the devils or angles operating within all of us. As such, governments time and time again fail, and will continue to ultimately fail, when they seek to unnecessary control the people with enslaving excessive taxes and compassionate societal welfare. Human beings innately desire freedom to be the devils and the angles in each individual way. Many are tempted by the gifts of state checks to loose their freedom to perpetual governmental dependency. Many are tempted by the lure of taxes thinking government can solve their problems. Don’t be lured and tempted, as big governments are inherently perverted and enslaving, with their singing sirens pandering us all to vote for more and more governmental control over our lives.
The forms of governments that thrive, are very few, really, in terms of maximizing productivity with increasing standards of living, and in term of maximizing person charity of increasing voluntary compassion. The best governments are those which actually seek to fully exploit, not contain, the devils and angles within each of us, without governmental laws and mandates well beyond that minimal necessary for the healthy and thriving society. Over the ages, monarchies have fallen, fascist states have fallen, socialized states have fallen, communist states have fallen, and repeatedly so, and will ultimately continue to repeatedly fail in perpetuity, as these highly regulating governments fail time and time again to fully exploit those devils and angles within us all.
The best form of government to exploit our devils and angles is a democratic capitalistic government, limited in scope in its control over the people, yet, set up to fully exploit those natural devils and angles within us all. We Americans have our roots in such a limited government, in a free capitalistic economy, feeding those little devils, and with freedom of religion, leading repeatedly to revivals in God, personal compassion, and robust charity. We Americans have been bless with 225 years with a government based upon the principles of individual liberty, to be those little devils and angles, that we are and as we choose to be, to seek riches beyond measure, driven by the devils of greed, yet, compassionate enough to also seek the building of churches, temples, and charities throughout our national existence. As such, riches and charity knew no bounds in the good old USA, where even captains of industry with riches, knell down to others, voluntarily turned to charity to help their fellow citizens, without the encouragement of a penalizing progressive tax rates. It has worked very well. It made us strong, prosperous, and righteous, to where, the United States of America has become the only remaining super power on this earth, for those very same reasons, as the USA has historically and traditionally exploited those little devils and angles in us all.
There is a dark cloud accumulating over the land of the free and brave. This ominous approach seeks to destroy our godly churches and temples and individual compassion. It seeks to remove from public view godly symbols of the most efficient means of providing voluntary charity to those in real need. It seeks ever increasing taxes to control business and cultural decisions rather than free market forces and freedom of choice, to control our behavior in every way, well beyond containing mere criminal acts, but to control every aspect of our lives. It effectively seeks to destroy the entrepreneurial spirit and individual effort to gain and achieve with its debilitating taxes and income redistribution, stealing the hard earn money from the productive to support the life style of the unproductive, then depleting our capabilities for personal charity, in a double blow to our hearts, through excessive tax collections backed up by threats of tax evasion crime and imprisonment, to bring out generational class warfare among the citizens, now at each other's throats in political fascist debates, where opposing views are not tolerated, where civility of the citizens is swooning, and all done so under the guise of patriotic taxes, which are nothing more than paying forced homage to the DC elitists pandering the people of this great country toward more and more and more democratic totalitarianism, and control over our lives, where the government now imprisons our little devils and angles, and hence, all of us as well.
We are still a free people, as we still have left, the vote, but are being destroyed by ourselves, seduced by the dark side of patriotic taxes and governmental compassion, wrongly persuaded that government can do a better job than the aggregate charity of individual giving, and in so doing, raising taxes and the destruction of our little devils. If we are not careful, and reverse the tide of governmental expansion and control over our lives, we may just have to bury our little friends, where, the devils now do not work nor invent nor thrive, because it just doesn’t pay to do so, and where, we all avoid personal charity and compassion, relying on the state to do it for us, while creating mass government dependency in shame and indignity.
My fellow Americans, will you not join my hue&cry, and always vote for restorations of our traditional freedoms, to always vote to abolish forever the federal reserve bank, the FED, a private bank, and their federal reserve notes, and their private controlling interest rates?, as, how dare they disgrace the father of our country, by placing George Washington's picture on a intrinsically worthless bank notes, only having value through the use of the IRS thugs requiring payment in those notes?; to always vote to abolish forever income taxes and repeal the 16th amendment, which taxes are used to create decadent godless socialism, enslaving all to either government care dependency or financial ruination?; to always vote to abolish fiat paper money, and return our currency to its former glory of real gold and silver, trusted by all, any where, any time, as prescribed by our constitution?; to always vote for limited government to stop the DC elitist enslavement of our lives to their vote pandering decadent godless socialism, disgracing the name of Washington DC?; to always vote no against short sales and naked short sales to keep the momentum hedge fund mob bosses from manipulating and destroying our corporations and markets for their own riches; to always vote no against the use of those 1000T$ of OTC derivatives that enable the banksters and bullion banksters to intervene, control, and destroy our free markets and economy; to always vote no against GWB-BHO's bankster bail outs, rewarding those crooks who profit upon the enslavement of the citizenry; and to always vote no, where it really counts, to bring back our traditional values, our heritage, and our national birth rights. Its our democracy, and we can enslave ourselves as predicted by Tocqueville in 1835, or free ourselves from the wicked lures and temptations of the DC elitists.
The DC elitists are destroying four of the high-five of American's freedom, GOD, GOLD, GUNS, LAND but not the VOTE, as the DC elitists and the pandering decadent socialists seek to remove symbols of charity and god from public view, to destroy our currency with their worthless manipulating and enslaving fiat paper money, to restrict are guns possession and land use with law innumerable, but, we still have the vote, and can take back our freedoms, if we are truly the land of the free and brave, to face all, courageously, without the big brother nanny state, holding our hands with leg irons on our feet. We can take back our traditional heritage, if we are strong and have courage to face the future. My friends, I have traveled a bit and have considered much of this small world in which we live, and I have walked in serious observation for eight years now, to up on high the mountain top, and have looked out over this great country of ours, and I have seen the future, and from every hamlet to every mountain top, from sea to shinny sea, I can assure you, we all will be freed again, freed again, praise God Almighty, we will be freed again.
I call upon all my fellow Americans, to join me, to always vote and voice our agreement in democracy, limited government, real and honest money, balanced budgets, and real capitalism, to throw off the yoke of DC elitism and totalitarian democratic controls over every aspect of our lives, to release our devils and angles from prison, to live free again, to provide the productivity and riches we can all strive for, to provide for the most efficient charitable giving society of all on earth, and, to recapture our national birth rights.

Russia wants to be a reliable supplier of energy to the west. (we should want it to) Russia is doing their part in containing islamofasicism, ie Chechnia and offers to support Afghanistan operations. Russia has a dying population and needs western investment and technology to rocket their 2nd world economy. Russia has an educated population, and an infrastructure still in tact that can be used to increase their prosperity. The stage is set for a grand conjunction on the world stage.
What many miss, is that, the younger, educated, and affluent Russians, as well as generally, Eastern Europeans, want DEMOCRATIC CAPITALISM. This group wants it all, really bad to. They are crying for the US to be friendly to attract all of Russia toward that end. There is also the die-hard communists, that slow that progress. Putin in stuck between the two, and to maintain power, he panders both. (dont that sound familiar here in the US??) So, you have to read messages from moscow, with suspect intentions as to which power base putin addresses. Most of the print misses the full story time and time again.
RUSSIA (deep down) really wants to be our pals, in many ways, so we all can prosper, yet also has cultural tendencies retarding that move, and hence, they hesitate, especially with a large number of older but dying commies who only think the US is bad, and putin has to address that substantial segment of the population, hence, "MANIAC WITH RAZOR BLADES", ala Bush scolding Putin all the time. What is retarding their integration into the western mindset is their cultural history, sour grapes cold war loss, and their tendency to support strong man rule. Lets understand them for what they are, baby democrats, and also, understand that we Americans can also drop our INHERENT mistrust of them as well.
The stage is set for a YANK-BEAR coming together, in this democracy century. Putin understands that the upcoming TRADE WARs will put a premium on PRODUCTIVITY. He needs the west to help position Russia into a competitive posture in the UP COMING TRADE WARS, or Russia is doomed to 2nd world status. He wants to be America's PAL, but has to also serve domestic politics and biases and cultural feelings. Its a complicated game for sure.
IF WE AMERICANS would only understand that they have had a very bad history over the last 100 years, and are suspicious, jealous, and feel demeaned and ridiculed, unnecessisarily so, and they have been brainwashed by 100 years of totalitarian control, we can then understand their hesitations to join the WEST, but if we could just open our arms, WITH A BIG BEAR HUG, (and BHO could be good for this), we could have the BEARS out of hibernation, and feeding world civility and prosperity, and fully on the WORLD TEAM.
Here is the KEY!!!!!! Listen up folks, our worst enemy of the cold war will become our best friends in the days and years ahead. Putin wants to and must integrate his energy empire into the world economy. Putin wants russia to have respect in the west, (its the pride thing from losing the cold war). Putin knows that Russia's future lies in advance technologies and productivity that the west can provide for the jump start to the Russian Economy. Russia is moving toward international trade, democracy, and world civility. Sure, its a long and slow process, but baby steps every day, bring the YANKS and BEARS closer together, AS THE CONFLUENCE MARCHES ON!!!!
ENCOURAGE RUSSIA to fully join, WTO, EU, NATO, G20, etc.
Get em locked in with the BEAR HUG!!!!
This is what got my attention:
"But Ryabkov suggested it is up to Washington to give ground over missile defense. He said Moscow wants an equal say in evaluating threats, plotting responses and designing any missile shield in the region."
THAT's it baby, offer protection of Russian airspace, and get the RUSSKIES on board planning JOINT MISSLE DEFENSE. Treat them as equals, give them a say, ask them to join us, constantly, and they will move. Praise them for good democratic acts (Putin not seeking 3rd term and not changing constitution), rather than CONSTANTLY complain for imperfect democracy. (They are learning, just give them time). All ya got to do, is show respect, (with an understanding their cultural retardation toward full democractic priniciples, and their slow progress, and understand it is culturally based, but that they will move slowly toward the confluence and democratic principles in the years ahead) and understand them with a big BEAR HUG, and they will warm up TO THEIR DESTINY, as a civilized cooperative WORLD PLAYER, and eventually, OUR BESTEST PALS!!

Former US officials seek improved Russia ties
By DOUGLAS BIRCH, Associated Press Writer Douglas Birch,
Associated Press Writer
AP – Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin shakes hands with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, …
MOSCOW – Some of the biggest names in U.S. diplomacy of the past decades met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and other Kremlin leaders Friday, in an effort to improve frosty relations that experts say could threaten many U.S. foreign policy goals.
In some of his most upbeat comments about U.S. relations since President Barack Obama took office, Medvedev said his meetings with current and former U.S. officials in recent weeks "reflect the goal of our nations to significantly improve ties."
After greeting a delegation led by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Medvedev praised the American initiative, first announced by Vice President Joe Biden, to "press the reset button" on U.S.-Russia relations.
"The surprising term 'reset' ... really reflects the essence of the changes we would like to see," Medvedev said. "We are counting on a reset. I hope it will take place."
Kissinger, an architect of U.S. Cold War strategy toward the Soviet Union, said he and a group including former Secretary of State George Shultz and former Sen. Sam Nunn had discussed energy and other "strategic issues" with the Russian president.
"I'm happy to report that the differences were not so remarkable and the agreements were considerable," Kissinger said.
Kissinger also told Medvedev the U.S. group hoped the Russian leader's April meeting with Obama on the sidelines of the G-20 meeting in London would help improve ties.
"We believe in the generally optimistic attitude, and we hope ... that the meeting between you and our president will begin a new period in our relationship and will lead to concrete results," Kissinger said.
Kissinger also met privately with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Thursday, in a meeting shown briefly on state-run TV.
Experts say chilly bilateral relations have complicated efforts to limit the spread of nuclear weapons, ease tensions in eastern Europe and expand the war in Afghanistan.
Kissinger's group has pushed for drastic reductions in global nuclear arsenals. And reviving talks on limits to nuclear arms, especially the START I treaty, which expires in December, is at the top of the U.S. agenda.
But the broader aim appears to be repairing the damage to relations over the past eight years between Washington and Moscow, which are at their lowest point since the early 1980s — a point highlighted by both Russian and U.S. officials in Moscow.
"I see we are in a race between cooperation and catastrophe," Nunn told reporters at a briefing.
"We are certain that the low point of this period of chill in our relations is behind us," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters Friday. "The reset ... has really begun."
While the Kremlin has welcomed the U.S. initiatives, it has also sent signals that it is up to Washington to make concessions, not Moscow, if relations are to improve.
Ryabkov expressed confidence that Moscow and Washington can resolve deep differences over the proposed U.S. missile defense facilities in Eastern Europe and forge a new treaty to replace START.
But Ryabkov suggested it is up to Washington to give ground over missile defense. He said Moscow wants an equal say in evaluating threats, plotting responses and designing any missile shield in the region.
"We are ready for cooperation on missile defense, but not as a cart horse that is attached to a harness and pulls in a direction given by others," he said.
Ryabkov also said missile defenses and offensive weapons subject to cuts under treaties like START are "inextricably linked." He suggested Russia could hold back on an arms control pact if it is dissatisfied with U.S. moves on missile defense.
Washington says the missile shield based in Poland and the Czech Republic would protect against a potential threat from Iran. The Obama administration has told Russia that it could eliminate the need for such a system by using its influence on Iran to help ensure Tehran poses no threat.
But Ryabkov said Moscow sees no signs that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, indicating the Kremlin does not plan to toughen its stance toward Tehran.
He welcomed Obama's address to the Iranian people — a video released Friday from Washington that said the U.S. is prepared to end years of strained relations if Tehran tones down its bellicose rhetoric.
"We are moving along the path that we believe should lead to the disappearance of concern about Iran's nuclear program. The path proposed by the Russian Federation is the path of dialogue," he said.
It is not clear if Russia is adopting a tough position to give itself room to bargain, or whether it will refuse to make concessions in upcoming negotiations.

Sinclair at jsmineset.com comments:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside all people.
He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.’
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘Which wolf wins?
The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.’
