quote...."The days of dreaming about long days playing golf on a
green course and taking luxurious cruises around the world are
appearing more and more like a foggy memory for those in the
middle class planning for retirement. As Wall Street
bankers and hedge fund managers rob the public blind, the
mission statement sold to baby boomers is starting to become a
large bait and switch catchy enough to make it on a Hallmark

The word
Alex Jones uses all the time for this fearful trend is...."Tyranny". - mpg --
A quote...."In the United States, there are hundreds of
regulations which authorize dozens federal agencies to
confiscate private property– homes, cars, bank accounts, gold,
company shares, and even personal effects. -- Ironically, most
Americans still think that they live in a country where you’re
innocent until proven guilty. Nothing could be further from the
truth, and it’s just another clear example of how the US
Constitution has become a worthless piece of toilet paper for
the federal government."

Special Note - A
quote...."Ignoring social and other homeland needs, America’s
business is war, more war, imperial wars, defiantly heading the
nation toward tyranny and ruin because of an addiction it can’t
or won’t quit. -- Immanuel Wallerstein believes America’s been
“a fading global power since the 1970s, and the US response to
the (9/11) terrorist attacks has accelerated this decline….the
economic, political and military factors that contributed to US
hegemony are the same factors that will inexorably produce the
coming US decline.” -- In other words, destructive policies
aren’t sustainable. Sooner or later, disruptive change will end
Washington’s dominance, hastened by multiple imperial wars.
Whatever’s coming isn’t known, but America’s system won’t
survive because unsustainable ones can’t endure."

Must Read - Second Quote of the
Day...."NATO has proven it has the capacity to kill
thousands of Libyan soldiers from the skies, but it cannot
“convey honor and legitimacy” to the rebels under its killer
wings. “They are little more than extras for imperial theater, a
mob that traveled under the protective umbrella of American full
spectrum dominance of the air.” The incinerated bodies of her
soldiers have secured Libya’s place in history."

Must Read - A
quote...."Send a pyromaniac to extinguish a fire, burning the
forest to save trees, save to bomb the civilian population,
launching campaigns of terror in the name of fighting terrorism,
promote democracy by supporting dictators, monarchies, other
gangsters and terrorists of all kinds. .. the logic of Western
leaders is unstoppable. -- During this time, the organization of
the mass media bombard the consciousness until its surrender.
And that's how you wake up one day with the feeling that has
always been in favor of privatization. With the belief that the
Taliban have always been our enemies. That Europe is the only
one worth it. You understand very well that you can not afford
your retirement. And NATO is a kind of international service
[of] ambulances."

Wednesday, 30 March
2011 16:46 -- A quote...."As analysts debate possible
motives behind President Obama’s United Nations-backed
military intervention in Libya, one angle that has received
attention in recent days is the rebels’ seemingly odd decision
to establish a new central
bank to replace dictator Muammar Gadhafi's
state-owned monetary authority —
possibly the first time in history that revolutionaries have
taken time out from an ongoing life-and-death battle to create
such an institution, according to observers." - bold/underline

central bank - this before they even had a government. Robert
Wenzel wrote in the Economic Policy Journal...."
"I have never before heard of a central bank being
created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular

settlement which many here and internationally believe could
have been achieved by early April, thus saving hundreds Libyan
lives. NATO’s more than 160 days of bombing are seen
as egregious violations of UNSCR 1973, Article 2 (7) of the UN

that would show everyone how clever Al Qaeda was. -- Of course
the hijackers knew nothing about any plan to fly into buildings
like kamikaze pilots on a suicide mission. -- Once they got into
the air and managed to get control of the planes, there would be
nothing else the hijackers had to do. Thank you very much;
everything would now be on remote control, with planes being

Obviously, this is not a mistake but a planned blatant

currently under Gaddafi control. It appears that there has been
an initially successful operation by the NATO task force. Its
failure may be used as an argument for bringing heavy armaments
to Libya and carrying out a full-scale military operation. This
does not look very nice and inflicts a severe blow to both the
Middle East stability and NATO countries’ reputation,"

more complicated and complex. This narrative of events may

many reasons. -- One, the war for Tripoli and Libya has just
begun. Tripoli is not under the control of NATO. The rebels, who
consist of al-Qaeda fighters and other anti-freedom crusaders,

ahead of them. Special forces from England and other NATO

it wasn't the tsunami that caused the meltdown, or possibly
even the large earthquake, it might have been stuxnet.

the massive tsunami is now estimated to be 9.0 in magnitude
the strength of the quake when it hit the Fukushima
nuclear reactor hundreds of kilometers away was a relatively
weak 6.4 magnitude earthquake. This weak earthquake caused the

which raises red flags about the safety of nuclear reactors
around the world." -

Mrkt Quant Analysis - A
quote...."Trying to figure out whether the U.S. stock market
after the stunning decline of the last month is a bargain or
not? -- James Mackintosh’s “The Short View” column in today’s
(August 23) Financial Times lays out in very clear terms one way
to answer the question. -- After a month of selling the Standard
& Poor’s 500 Stock Index trades at just 10.3 times projected
earnings. That’s below the forward price-to-earnings ratio in
March 2009, the post-Lehman Brothers bottom. (The average since
1985 is 15.) -- But that’s only cheap, Mackintosh points out, if
projections for future earnings are accurate." -
True, but Bernanke and his boys
have deliberately made a good portion of the bond curve yield
negative rates of return (and that's using the government's
inflation figures, which are a joke. It's much worse if
you use the real figures.) So where do you put your
money? Obviously a lot of people are answering gold,
silver and other commodities. But in a slowing world
economy that can be risky. It appears investing is hard
to do. - mpg
