Must Read - A
quote...."America’s “mid-term” elections are coming up, one-third of
the senate, all members of the house and a number of state government
offices are up for grabs. These elections used to be the subject
of little interest and even less money. Now, $1.2 billion is
going to be spent, and with “relaxed” campaign laws, read
“gutted-eliminated,” the election is going to be a big win for one
group only, the international crime syndicates. On the front,
there are issues, well, not to a serious person, but there are a lot of
accusations being made with this kind of money flowing into the
media. “America is filling with Muslims,” in reality 1% of the
population, half professionals, half small business owners, almost none
either criminals or unemployed. This is the theatre, the circuses
that are supposed to keep the “public” amused while the knife goes in
from behind. -- This year, it is working like a charm."

Must Read - A
quote...."Future historians may well agree that the twenty-first
century Silk Road first opened for business on December 14, 2009.
That was the day a crucial stretch of pipeline officially went into
operation linking the fabulously energy-rich state of Turkmenistan (via
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan) to Xinjiang Province in China’s far west.
Hyperbole did not deter the spectacularly named Gurbanguly
Berdymukhamedov, Turkmenistan’s president, from bragging, “This project
has not only commercial or economic value. It is also political. China,
through its wise and farsighted policy, has become one of the key
guarantors of global security.” -- The bottom line is that, by 2013,
Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong will be cruising to ever more
dizzying economic heights courtesy of natural gas supplied by the
1,833-kilometer-long Central Asia Pipeline, then projected to be
operating at full capacity."

Must Read - A
quote...."October 11, 2010 "Information Clearing House" -- After
the collapse of the faux Middle East peace talks Israel’s growing
isolation in the world is not entirely unexpected. A side-effect is
that America has discovered that it cannot force the rest of the
international community to embrace the Frankenstein monster it has
nurtured. With the exception of Egypt, and in the absence of financial
or military inducements given to the Pharaoh Hosni Mubarak, few
self-respecting states are willing to embrace the Zionist brat. In any
case, no one takes much notice of Egypt these days, where Mubarak is
preparing to crown his son as his successor. His slavish support for
Israel prompted by copious amounts of US aid has lost him trust,
credibility, respect and international standing. Even the Americans are
beginning to realise that their Cairo rent boy is of little value these
days."

Vanunu: Israel
still vengeful to me ---
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/146447.html
Vengeful, biting,
back-stabbing, little Orcs. The world's brand new
Mini-Nazis.
Just keep in mind folks when you listen or watch this nation's
mass-info-tainment media, that there
are just five million Jews
living in the state of Israel. Just
five million!
They
(through their proxies in
this country) helped formulate the PNAC Protocols and than, as was
explicitly and clearly laid out in those Protocols, in cahoots with the
Saudi Royals along with traitorous elements within this country, helped
facilitate the event called 9/11. TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS have now
been spent on this little scheme to "ensure" Israel's "right" to wipe
another people off the map. TRILLIONS more are to be spent in the
future. The entire US Banking system was rigged to support these
plans
for a
"Long War", of "Full Spectrum Dominance" across the "Arch of
Instability" (deliberately instigated) and steps taken to ensure that
the rest of
the world would pay for it.
Many folks out there will
lose,
if they haven't already, their homes, their jobs, their families, their
fortunes and
their self-respect. Is ANY
of this really worth it? If people out there in this country STILL
answer yes, they
will be on their own during this coming Depression. One would
hope they
don't start WHINING about how poor they are, how the "Gub'mint' cut off
their Social Security, their Medicare, their food stamps and their VA
benefits, how they got thrown out of their houses, or how their sons
and daughters came back maimed and scared
for life...or didn't come back at all.
The US-NRE has broken its
treaty commitments to the Nuremberg
convention, the Geneva conventions, the NPT treaty, the ABM treaty and
its own Constitution. It has deliberately devalued the dollar, run up
massive government deficits and knowingly sold trillions of worthless
synthetic debt instruments to the rest of the world. It has lied
repeatedly for ten years, in front of the entire international
community and even in the UN. It has repeatedly committed war
crimes, torture and mass murder. Its word is now worthless -- no
agreement, bond, surety, oath, or promise ever made by it or by those
who represent it, can ever be trusted again. And ALL of this was
done in an effort to support a minuscule, tiny, vicious, apartheid,
genocidal, colonial, homicidal state.
One would hope those in this
country who did not, and do not, support these policies would be
disciplined enough
to turn their collective backs on those who do, those morons who live
here who are so
stupid, so mentally deranged and so utterly immoral, that they would
empty
their own pockets, endanger their own childrens' future and help commit
mass murder just because someone told
them to do so on behalf of another people living in another far flung
land.
What a WASTE!! What a
TRAGEDY!! What utter and complete STUPIDITY!! -- mpg

home sales, reported last week, showed a modest increase, generally
slowing new and existing home sales in recent months, combined with
declining mortgage purchase applications after the government's

us to expect the housing inventory to grow and home prices to fall in

admit how much trouble we are actually in. The U.S. government is

quote...."American families better get ready to tighten their belts
again. There is every indication that we are all going to really
start feeling the squeeze in the months ahead. The price of gas
is starting to spike again. The price of food is moving
north. Health insurance premium increases are being announced
coast to coast and a whole slate of tax increases is scheduled to go
into effect in 2011. Meanwhile, household incomes are down
substantially all over the nation and the U.S. government is indicating
that there will not be an increase in Social Security benefits for the
upcoming year once again. So if the cost of most of the basic
things in our monthly budgets is going up and our incomes are going
down what does that mean? It means that average American families
are about to be squeezed like nothing we have seen in decades." -

Must Read
- Quote of the Day...."Finance is the new form of warfare –
without the expense of a military overhead and an occupation against
unwilling hosts. It is a competition in credit creation to buy foreign
resources, real estate, public and privatized infrastructure, bonds and
corporate stock ownership. Who needs an army when you can obtain the
usual objective (monetary wealth and asset appropriation) simply by
financial means? All that is required is for central banks to accept
dollar credit of depreciating international value in payment for local
assets. Victory promises to go to whatever economy’s banking system can
create the most credit, using an army of computer keyboards to
appropriate the world’s resources. The key is to persuade foreign
central banks to accept this electronic credit." -

A quote...."Jan Hatzius pretty much slams the door on any possibility
for a liquidity moderation (let alone exit): "We found that under our
own economic forecasts it might take until 2015 or longer before a rate
hike became appropriate." In other words, the US economy will very
likely just go down in flames, as the Fed makes sure that each and
every American is infinitely "rich" courtesy of zero cost debt
denominated in worthless dollars. The only salvation from this outcome
is for the rest of the world to stage a Fed intervention before it all
burns down. Of course by that point, the next reserve currency will be
in tow, and few if any will care what happens to that particular former
superpower. And just the message is heard loud and clear, Hatzius says
that even with a QE of over $100 billion (but under $150 billion)
monthly will hardly proceed to rescue the economy: "Even after the next
6-9 months, we still see still plenty of headwinds that will keep the
growth pace slow by historical US recovery standards."

A quote...."In his latest letter Van Hoisington cuts through the
bullshit and asks the number one question (rhetorically): why are bank
excess reserves (aka the ugly, liability side of Quantitative Easing)
still so high. He answers: "Either the banks: 1) are not in a position
to put additional capital at risk because their balance sheets are
shaky; 2) are continuing to experience large write-downs on commercial
and residential mortgages, as well as on a wide variety of other loans;
or 3) customers may not have the balance sheet capacity or the need to
take on additional debt. They could also see no expansionary prospects,
or fear an uncertain regulatory future. In other words, no viable
outlets exist for banks to loan funds." Which leads him to conclude
quite simply that while risk assets may hit all time highs courtesy of
free liquidity, the economy, also known as the middle class, will be
stuck exactly where it was before QE2... and QE1."

A quote...."Let’s take a slice of the adult American population, say,
100 people, and put them in a room. -- Of these 100, nearly three
quarters (73) complain of financial stress. In fact, of the ones who
are divorced, 80% cited financial difficulties as the reason they split
from their spouse. -- It’s not surprising to hear this, the
official numbers tell us that roughly 9-10 of the 100 people we
selected are unemployed. Of course, those are the “official” numbers.
If you actually bother asking these 100 people to their faces if
they’ve got work, you’d find 16-17 of them are unemployed, but the 6-7
extra to the official 10 listed as out of work are not counted by the
Government because they’ve given up looking for employment."

A quote...."Stocks are booming; the Dow Jones soared past 11,000; the
very wealthy are bursting from their financial seams. Meanwhile, mass
unemployment continues, with 95,000 more jobs -- mostly teachers --
lost in September. -- As millions of Americans sink into desperation,
President Obama continues to preach the good word of optimism, based on
the gospel of "private sector job growth."

So now what? The NSA will
track us down for our bad credit card debt? Or is Goldman Sachs
gonna be privy to all those foreign bank transactions and be allowed to
listen in to all their telephone conversations? - mpg -- A
quote...."President Obama's new National Security Advisor spent the
decade prior to joining the White House as a legal advisor to powerful
interests including Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, and as a lobbyist for
Fannie Mae, where he oversaw the mortgage giant's aggressive campaign
to undermine the credibility of a probe into its accounting
irregularities, according to government reports and public disclosure
forms." -

A quote...."PHOENIX — When the bank sued Leann Weaver for not paying
her credit card balance, her reaction was typical for someone in that
situation. Personal and financial setbacks weighed her down, and she
knew she owed the $2,470. So she never went to court to defend herself."
