JHK’s Three-Act Play
So many shoes are dropping out there that reality is starting to look and sound like the tap-line in a Busby Berkeley production number. The meme-scape, too, is humming with viral transmissions of dire doings. Is JP Morgan unwinding like a 1911 knitted woolen Yale varsity sweater? Did it booby-trap the credit default swap universe in the process, and is that getting ready to blow? The whole world is hanging by its fingernails, refusing to be dragged into the future.
That future is all about contraction. We could navigate our way into it but we don’t want to. We want to stay right where we are with all our stuff and no need to make new arrangements and we are trying every last trick to do that. Can you not sense a terrible tidal surge of implacable forces under the headlines’ placid surface? I do offer Mark Zuckerberg best wishes on his nuptials, but I think he set himself up for one of fate’s great pranks as FB stock goes to 99 cents while he’s still on his honeymoon (playing Frogger in a super deluxe hotel suite).
Does anybody really believe that the European money problem has any other ending except massive repudiation of obligations and epic political realignment? Or that the USA isn’t caught in the undertow. The only real question now is how the civilized world might remain civilized while it rebuilds its money system. Money, after all, is a representative of reality and the representations by nations and person and institutions have been so false for so long that, for practical purposes, there is no consensual reality anymore.
By the way, it was a nice gag at the time, but Karl Rove was wrong. We are not creating our own reality.
Reality’s theme going forward is changing from liquidity to liquidation. The European LTRO was a nice fairy tail, and the mild buzz lasted a few months, but its flimsy spell is broken. An awful lot of parties may be liquidating gold and silver, too, this week but under the circumstances I’ve got to think there will be plenty of counterparties looking to buy, since uncertainty is crushing all other media of exchange. The process begins to look like a mass metamorphic conversion of winners to losers and vice-versa. In a giant unwinding of paper assets the result may be that precious metals go sideways while all other assets tank – and then once everything’s in the tank, PMs tank, too, because nobody is left standing with that kind of cash. Of course, in the event just a little bitty bit of gold will still buy a lot of stuff. The other possibility is that the rumored global coordinated central bank QE doomsday machine goes off destroying the meaning of cash money altogether. Surely that sort or stunt will not cast the same spell as the LTRO, a more measured act of desperation, but will call into question the very meaning of dollars, euros, yen, and pounds sterling. That’s when you’ll be paying $25,000 for a Little Debbie snack cake.
Let me be first of the non-right-wing in the blogster corps to venture the somewhat un-PC idea that Barack Obama turned out to be the first black schmuck elected President of the US. He didn’t do the one thing that would have mattered most: put an end to government sponsored control fraud. Control fraud at that level is so pernicious because it destroys the legitimacy of institutions. It can only make a nation cynical, by which I don’t mean given to malicious humor, which is different, but just always thinking the worst of your fellow man and the very idea that the human race ever produced anything fine and durable.
And on top of that malfeasance, to try to suspend due process of law in Section 1021 of the NDAA bill – smacked down by federal judge Katherine Forrest last week – was an amazing transgression that the mainstream press greeted four months ago with barely a shrug. Can’t we just start a movement to go down to Charlotte, NC, this summer and levitate the convention center into outer space? It nearly worked with the Pentagon forty odd years ago.
What do you suppose Obama and the other feckless schmucks of the G-8 were telling each other this weekend at Camp David between weenie roasts and ping-pong round robins? It must have been the emptiest dumb show of mere protocol; an exchange of tie-tacks in the national colors, the playing of many anthems and flying of flags, issuance of bland assurances and platitudes. Nobody believes any of them anymore, even poor Mr. Hollandaise, who has been on the job a few days. Angela Merkel must be good and goddam sick of even showing up at the office.
Well, perhaps its best that the world will go where it has to go without leadership. After all, human history is emergent and improvisation suits us. Forceful leaders often only leave a big mess behind. But imagine a world where nobody gets paid. That might be our world by the end of the week.

James, you are back with my favorite brand of doom-porn!
It all falls down next week? Damn, even for those of us who know you are prolly right about the outcome (but far too bold with your schedule predictions)–none of us are ready for it all to happen next week.
I was hoping, just like everybody else, for just a little longer with the comfort and convenience part of happy motoring.
One of these times, you are going to be right about when, and then we will all wish that we had done more to prepare than just acknowledging that you were prolly right.
My feeling is that this is all going to shake out with some sort of market crash. And that’s gonna bring down the commodities with it. Those with cash will survive the deflationary front end to buy up the cheap commodities for the inevitable hyperinflationary response which will come on its heels.
It might help most to stay out of debt just now, hold a little cash, and even less precious metal. The best thing of all would be to move to a small, emptied-out rustbelt city that’s proximate to good agricultural land and help to reinvigorate and revitalize it.
I’m just sayin’ – it makes no sense spending your time guarding against the haymaker if you leave yourself open to a properly placed jab.

Second! And it’s only two days until my 89th! Cheers, Cfners! JHK is early this week, isn’t he? For those who care, my official birthdate is May 23, l923. I have a great aunt who is 92 this past February. I’ll let you in on a little secret. If you ever live to be this old you will be very, very much alone. My older brother sent me a six pack of beer called “Raging Bitch”. I take it as a term of endearment.
It strikes me as funny that people on this site think I’m a sock puppet or just a ruse. I don’t really care either way. I attended a wedding yesterday and found the whole thing rather silly. Why gays want to get married at all is a mystery to me. Here in North Carolina they just voted for an ammendment to keep marriage between “one man and one woman”. I’ve seen plenty of such, and have to say that marriage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I voted against the ammendment, but I’m so freaking old, nobody cares what I think anyways.
Plus, my live in boyfriend of 15 years has let me know that he is ready, willing, and able to walk out on my ass. I told him to make sure that the door didn’t hit him in the ass on his way out…freaking younger men…55 no less! He shut up pretty quick after I told him that. And I meant it too. Maybe that’s why he shut his nambypamby ass up as quickly as he did.
Some are going too far Jim…

Don’t worry Jim, TPTB will hold things together for another week at least, maybe beyond that. They’re hashing out a plan right now at the NATO summit in Chicago!
–WSP7
Next week? No, we’ve got about four weeks. The next Greek elections are June 17, so everyone can pretend awhile longer.
But the trigger will be determined later to have been a fairly minor event. World War I was started by the assassination of a fairly minor royal, which rippled out through alliances and treaties into WWI. My guess is the coming economic blowup will be triggered by civil unrest in Spain with its 50% unemployment among twenty-somethings.
JIM: ‘That future is all about contraction’
BUT THE POPULATION IS ALL ABOUT EXPANSION, ESP
INTO ‘THESE PARTS’!
Baby shower is an event where the expectant parents and friends come together to commemorate the much predicted arrival of the participant in their life . Planning a baby shower party can be fun. Commonly organized by the family, friends or colleagues, baby shower centerpiece would be the first thing that guests and the mother-to-be notices at the baby shower. Usually when folks think of centerpieces, believe that of flowers, nevertheless there are tons of different ideas for baby shower centerpieces as well .The focus of the shower is usually the centerpiece, as the gift items are placed behind or even near it.
While deciding on your centerpieces, you have to take into consideration your theme of the bathe, the personality with the expectant mother and your budget.
Idea for Baby shower party Centerpieces
Diaper Muffins
Diaper cakes are getting to be very popular for tub areas. They are original and inventive and can be taken home by the expectant mother. Baby diaper cakes are in essence a collection of diapers (possibly cloth or throw away) rolled and piled together in the form of an old-fashioned tiered cake. It can be a a single, two or three-tiered pastry. It is garnished with little one care articles for instance bibs, pacifiers, baby socks, bottle of wine, toys and more. They usually can be decorated to install any theme you choose!
Baby Sock Rose Candelabras
This is a fun and creative idea for your baby! It is quite inexpensive which enable it to be a gift for your expectant mother as well. It is very easy to make, nonetheless it requires some time. You’ll need about 5 to 7 moments to make each went up, but once you get used to it, you will be swifter .This centerpiece is a sure way of impressing your invitees, plus it looks and so real!
Edible Fruits Basket
Instead of having a regular flower holder, it can be more fun on an edible fruit bag. The basket can be decorated with beautiful ribbons and guitar strings. It not only seems striking but also doubles up as an addition in your baby shower refreshments,Ralph lauren polo shirts Online Store! As opposed to the boring fruit salad, you can make it a lot more creative as a fruit basket.
Chocolate Water fountains
Chocolate fountains will be popular and the almost all delicious centerpiece a baby shower could have! Moreover almost everything becomes tasty immediately after dipping it with chocolate, right? Your chocolate fountain is not only an elegant baby shower decoration idea, but it is likewise unique as very few showers have it. What exactly is even greater is that it shortens the food menu to suit your needs. Guests will be rampant about it for several weeks!
Display a Scrapbooking
For a more personal touch, you can have a scrapbook, displayed with pics of the expectant mother from her childhood days to her wedding. Additionally you can have guests produce messages for the mothers and fathers and baby! This makes the expectant mother feel very special! Baby shower scrapbook makes a great souvenir, which lasts quite a long time!
Baby Balloon Bridal bouquet
This classic lead is fun and affordable. Pink balloons for women, blue for young boys, and yellow if you do not know whether the newborn will be a boy or girl. You can find balloons in different shapes and sizes according to different themes. Helium balloons are great to scatter all over the chair where the invitee of honor is going to be seated.
Baby Clothesline
This is one of the cutest hand made baby shower decoration strategy, where you string any clothesline across the room and workout clothes pins to hold baby clothes, bibs, child socks, onesies and more exactly in danger. Another idea with the clothesline is to take 10 baby diapers and use permanent marker pens with different colors to write one letter with each diaper ( blank ) BABYSHOWER. Then pin a diapers on the clothesline .
You can also make the baby shower reception hall decor as funny, special or special as you desire by using one or more in the above ideas. Just unleash your imagination for new, memorable and unique centerpieces.
Really, Jim, you are over the cliff on this one. Yes, there are crashes in the offing, but not for lack of gold, or silver, or cowrey shells, or giant Easter Island heads.
The money is, and will be, valuable because you can pay your taxes with it. No, taxes do not fund government with sovereign, fiat currencies. They can issue money at will. They do not need tax revenues (except to convince citizens the money is of value), nor bond sales (a vestige of gold-backed currency days), nor the kindness of Chinese strangers.
You could make business cards valuable if you told someone they had to produce them to get to the bathroom. Governments still retain this power to make even paper money valuable.
In fact, the government’s ability to issue endless currency was demonstrated recently after Lehman Brothers collapsed (about 2007). The recent first-ever audit of the Fed disclosed that the U.S. central bank issued $16 – $29 trillion to fix the financial markets.
The big question is not whether we have the money, or whether “debt” is important It’s not, as much as I hate to agree with Reagan & Cheney, when government can legally mint the legal tender to repay any and all debt, and the money issued does not strain the productive capacity of the economy by demanding goods and services with it. Paying off debt, believe it or not, does not even make it onto the radar of conventional neo-classical economics.
BTW, this was five years ago. Where’s the inflation? When money pays off debts, or in this case, bets, it doesn’t pursue goods and services. Hence the lack of inflation (and said lack for the foreseeable future).
The guys who have this all figured out are the Modern Monetary Theorists. I recommend this depression’s J.M. Keynes, Australian economist Steve Keen. He has a blog, and book (“Debunking Economics”) and actually managed to predict the bust. There are others: Stephanie Kelton, Michael Hudson, Marshall Auerbach, Warren Mosler, Yves Smith, etc. Lots of books and blogs there.
Go. Read. Pull your head out of your ass.
Oh yes, and you’ll *really* hate this: http://www.ted.com/talks/amory_lovins_on_winning_the_oil_endgame.html
…but then, it’s encouraging and hopeful, so unlike your poisonous rants.
JHK, just how long do you think Mark Zuckerberg’s honeymoon is going last? Surely FB shares can not drop to below one dollar in a couple of weeks! A hyperbole, I take it…
There is still time, the end of the unraveling world is not nigh upon us. Governments will do anything and everything to perpetuate their own existence.
By definition, almost everything governments do is counterproductive and these efforts will fail to bring back growth and prosperity. Governments will be able solve the debt conundrum when fairies grow tails.
First comes serious inflation which will execerbate the debt problem. Then comes serious war(s), not the pissant little skirmishes like we have seen in Iraq and Fuckedupistan. That might also make the debt problem worse.
We could also bail out our most precious allies’ financial system due to global systemic risk. No more national financial systems, the world is way too interconnected now. These bailouts can only be funded by higher taxes or more debt. How do you feel about higher taxes?
Did Groupon go public?
Junk, junk and more junk.
Jim, Thanks for gut kick. It takes my breath away, but it sure gets my attention. Personally, I am not hung up on exactly when the house of cards finally comes crashing down. It may be next week or next year, but it is clearly inevitable. We are in for some interesting times ahead. Keep up the good work.
If, for no other reason, I’d like to thank you, JHK, for admitting without qualification that Obama is just another dissembling suit pretending to “care”. During TARP and the QE aftermaths, the bastard hardly MENTIONED the “pick and shovel” projects of his early days in office.
So we’re left with 19th century plumbing, an equally ancient electrical grid, and bridges and levees all over the country just waiting to be blown out by floods or winds. Roubini is the ONLY economist to sanely recommend a kind of “Manhattan Project” to rebuild America’s infrastructure.
Instead, we have the laughable MALINVESTMENT following his pal Bernanke’s moneyprinting. Rome, by comparison, was wise in its judgments in its final days. This is pure Kakfaesque surrealism that we imagine we still have a first world country. Instead we have kids programming new emoticons while our country slowly devolves into an economy where half the women work in home health care or housecleaning and Mexicans get rebates on fictitious “American” children who still live in Hermosillo.

As the contraction picks up traction chances of navigating through evaporate.
DANCE WITH ME!!! Takin’ me back (Orleans)… I s’pose I should read yer poast – so I will!

(apparently *SOMEONE* owns that)
Yes, something could happen this week, because NATO met and so did the G8. They hatched their plans, but they wouldn’t execute them until they were safe back home.
Gerald Celente described how regimes turn to war to keep themselves in power. Now France is going to have a run on its banks. (see Zero Hedge this Monday morning) How fast can a fire burn? Yes, one week is plenty of time to make the world unrecognizable.
But there’s a bigger danger than even NATO and the G8 can dream up, and that’s the radiation released by Fukushima Daichi, which is described at the ENE News site.
What any of this has to do with a 1911 Yale varsity sweater is beyond me. Maybe because that was about a hundred years ago, and that’s how far back we must look to see where our transgressions first set us down this wrong road.
In a lot of ways, the Facebook IPO is like a mini-game version of our overall financial shell game. It’s a business based on advertising for the most part and honestly doesn’t produce anything proprietary or exciting. Okay, I can log on and see pictures of someone’s backyard party or snowman they made. Facebook itself doesn’t even offer much flexibility or response to user experience — people bitch about Timeline, but there’s no option to switch back to the old layout. People look at Facebook and Google now and forget how dominant AOL was, followed by Yahoo, and how are those two things faring now?
Likewise, people are still chasing the winning investment or business, not realizing that there is no such thing, not as we are facing Peak Oil and Peak Wealth in the face. What we have built on these things isn’t going to last, and what we shovel into them is basically lost forever. Stocks are based on the model of endless growth, but the Earth is effectively a closed system. At some point, the easy energy runs out and people realize that the new model is to do more with less, and scale back, not go chasing down dreams like phantom returns on dubious Facebook stocks.
All this is leading toward an adjustment in the future, when there is no more means of coping and adjustment to changing circumstances. We don’t build or plan for these changing circumstances, only get more desperate to preserve our current models. All this means is that when we can no longer sustain them at well, we will collapse, because there is no other model to follow, and this will be the new Dark Age.
Visit the Leibowitz Society at http://leibowitzsociety.blogspot.com for more information and discussion related to our coming Dark Age.
With the banks still mostly free to do whatever reckless shit they want to. leading to losses like JPMorgan’s, no one can convince me that my cash isn’t safer in a coffee can buried in the backyard. They are simply not to be trusted, like a lot of other institutions these days.
James, Fortunately, there are a few congressman and a few judges who still believe in the constitution. What’s next? The war drums are beginning to beat. Nothing like a good war to take us out of this economic malaise: http://youtu.be/gM_IXs_QFRg
Agreed. But how small that group which still believes (and understands) the US Constitution seems to have grown!
Obama lost me a long time ago, but how ANYONE could support him after his signing – and excuse making for – the NDAA, is beyond me. It’s fear, I suppose – Romney would be “so much worse.” And it’s one’s duty to vote, right? So you ‘gotta pull the lever for someone, huh?
I don’t buy it.
hmmmm…six paces from the fence, then left four steps, was it…? #B )]
James, in case no one informed you, Obama, or rather both the Obamas, and the other heads of state in the G20, were not at Camp David this weekend but in Chicago, where the NATO summit took place this weekend, amidst protests that thousands of protesters traveled to the city to participate in.
We only had 100 or so arrests of disorderly demonstrators amidst the usual allegations of police brutality by morons who provoked the police by throwing bottles and other projectiles at the police who were blocking access to McCormick Place. Downtown Chicago was turned into a militarized zone clear south as far as the convention center, with so many streets closed that a lot of businesses decided to just stay closed from Fri to today.
The matter under discussion was the war in Afghanistan and how to escape from it. I don’t know if anything got resolved. I only know that for every dollar some hotel or restaurant made off it, some other business was disrupted and lost two dollars.
Good link with an interesting message. The problem seems that the system is incapable of freely changing itself. It just keeps plodding along doing the same redundent shit over and over. Ever reluctant to change unless forced.
It was a refreshing look at what can and should be our course of action.
It’ll take a few months to cook one up. A good, hot war will be the solution. Just watch.
…wtftstf is to ‘cook up’???!!! do you mean the latest crusade (on-going religious war) in viet raqistan?
“At some point, the easy energy runs out and people realize that the new model is to do more with less, and scale back, not go chasing down dreams like phantom returns on dubious Facebook stocks.
All this is leading toward an adjustment in the future, when there is no more means of coping and adjustment to changing circumstances.

All this means is that when we can no longer sustain them at well, we will collapse, because there is no other model to follow, and this will be the new Dark Age.”
The problem is that there is no “New Model”. Who says the problems rotate around “Resource Scarcity myths” like Peak Oil or Peak Wealth ? Who can be so sure ? I have often declared that the problem is the exact opposite: we have way too much Money, Wealth, Technology to know what to do with it, we are way too rich compared to what we know what to do with it and compared to what our model of living has always been up until a few decades ago, until the Technological Economy did away with scarcities once and for all and we cannot adjust to living without the need for working (the constraints of limits mankind has always had to deal with, but today these limits are no longer present, they are mostly psychological, political and cultural) since the economy generates wealth automatically, system wide, technologically wide, etc.
The “changing circumstances” are both provoked, invented, created culturally and occurring automatically simultaneously without no one knowing who or what is changing the circumstances and how. No one is in control, no one is deciding anything, it is all automatic, the “events are in the driver’s seat at this point” and at the same time we are all creating the circumstances by describing and interpreting reality according to an arbitrary cultural model (the economy must grow, profits must be made, unemployment must drop (and who is to say why ? does this system really need more workers to operate or is the more workers needed only as a wealth distribution mechanism, since money can’t simply be given out for free without some kind of excuse to justify it ? especially since this economy is all about consumption and spending and not at all about production and work, nay, the production and work part of it is the easy part, the hard part is to keep people constantly spending and consuming, consumption is way more important than production and labor, bar none)), in other words it becomes intractable, it cannot be followed anymore or it could be followed in any way you want, and hence all of the different opinions, ideas, “interpretations” and “theoretical explanations”, macro economic and sociological explanations and such, all the contradicting political choices and movements like the Tea Party opposing the Occupy Wall Street party and such.
So the current model may be coming to an end, but there is no other possible model to substitute it, the only possible model would be Free Salaries to All, Cheap Rents, Huge Public Private projects like Trillions of Skyscrapers, and Trillions of Rockets to Mars and such.
Or any future model is completely arbitrary, is an aesthetical choice, is a random choice of what the majority of the people will want, there is no determinism operating, no necessity for any given model to prevail there is no law of economics that imposes any model and in fact any possible model will do, even no model at all and random chaotic forces going anywhere and ending up anywhere (and then never end up anywhere because they just set the stage for another sequence of events and so forth forever).
THE APE MAN, JOBSTER LOBSTER, NO DICE, NO DICE JOB, APESTER, JOBSTER LOBSTER, NO DICE, SHPAK A LAK, SHLAK A LAK
Nope the heads of states of the G-8 wasted their time at Camp David while the hacks from NATO wasted Chicagoans time this weekend.
Let me just say that the Democratic party establishment is wicked. They including the “Kenyan” incite the OWS types and when the OWS types even hint at logically concluding the situation down comes the “law” like a sack of bricks to the head.
So three white mutts from the OWS left were entrapped by Mayor Kagonovitch’s police this weekend and the Yuppy Facists of the Chicago Trib plastered the faces on the front page.
So you “liberals” if you are missing some of your friends from DU or Kos you have Mayor Rahm to thank.
Thanks for more of your salient observations on our multi-headed and numerous malaises, Jim. In the end, I put most weight on your criticism of the President for his looking the other way on the massive frauds which have been perpetrated and condoned by virtue of non-enforcement of existing statutes and protections. The very sad outcome of that is in addition to fueling universal cynicism, we’re now a nation that no longer recognizes when it’s being defrauded or lied to.
Let’s Hope for the Worst.
America has it coming, with interest.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see Grandpa Greed and his crude loudmouth partner broke?
God Almighty, that could be the spark that begins our rebirth as a people.
Wait for Memorial Day so Yellow Cake Powell can tell us how wonderful America is, Sinise can tape a cheap wig on and the flavor-of-the-week can croak out some BS about how America is Number 1. Maybe Janet Jackson can show us her tits too.
What a pathetic Nation of Nothing and Serial Criminals.
Charlie, problem is with viet raqistan that no one there can give us a good, hot war. For that you need a credible enemy, which chaostanis are most assuredly not. That’s why it’ll take a few months to cook up a war sufficiently extreme to keep all our minds off the economic/culturtal mess. Even the Iranians are not quite up to scratch for a nice hot one.
JHK sez:
“The whole world is hanging by its fingernails, refusing to be dragged into the future.
That future is all about contraction. We could navigate our way into it but we don’t want to. We want to stay right where we are with all our stuff and no need to make new arrangements and we are trying every last trick to do that. Can you not sense a terrible tidal surge of implacable forces under the headlines’ placid surface?”
This is most certainly the crux of the matter. When the majority of the “citizens” will not even acknowledge the fact that their lifestyles are about to be constrained (and right damn soon, at that), there’s no recognition that alternate plans might have to be pursued.
Rock meets hard place; fear leads to desperation; desperation leads to self-destruction and unfocused violence.
A Dark Tide approaches…
I’ll take a look at A. Eran’s link, but again, a different way of doing anything takes the dissolution of the current paradigm. (Sort of a case of there not being any other choice BUT to take a new direction.) There’s no incentive to do that by those who control the levers of power. I’m not hopeful for a voluntary re-think. Look around at the yeast-people (the MAJORITY); still hopeful?
(It’s been posited that only 15% of the populace needs to be behind a “movement” to get some momentum for change. Do any of you see that 15% riding over the hill, raging for change? I sure don’t; I see most raging for status-quo, cheap energy fueled comforts and convenience. That does not bode well.)

Oops!
You put that quite a bit more succinctly than I did.
Sorry for the unintentional re-hash.
“[I]t was a nice gag at the time, but Karl Rove was wrong. We are not creating our own reality.”
That’s why the rest of that snide remark about the “reality-based community” was immediately picked up by the opposition to the Bush Adminstration (I almost typed “regime” but that would be giving them too much credit) as a badge of identification. Unfortunately, people’s grasp on reality is only as firm as it needs to be to maintain sanity in a Lovecraftian universe, one in which too much exposure to the entirety of reality will send a person on a one-way all-expenses-paid trip to The Mountains of Madness, if not R’lyeh. Of course, eldrich horrors are already stalking the U.S., if not Cthulhu, then Huitzilopochtli, who made a cameo in one of Jim’s columns last year, inspiring one of my more popular blog posts.
I haven’t blogged about eldrich horrors lately over at Crazy Eddie’s Motie News, but I have been at least paying lip service to the idea of covering sustainability issues with a science ficiton slant and a Detroit perspective. The best example was the aborted launch of SpaceX’s Falcon/Dragon combination. I know Jim warns against techno-narcissism, but I consider loss of space flight to be the classic story of civilizational decline from science fiction, so a failed launch is not a good thing from my perspective. Speaking of science fiction, I passed along The Hipcrime Vocab’s remarks about J.J. Abrams’ “Revolution,” a new series about what happens when the power goes out. It was enough to prime me to buy a copy of “The Hunger Games” book when I had the opportunity. Other topics I covered this week included Ron Paul suspending his campaign, my town trying to lure in redevelopment while complying with a New Urbanist master plan, the Los Angeles subway, and summaries of the week’s sustainability and environmental news.
Happy Motoring–for now–from Detroit!

“What do you suppose Obama and the other feckless schmucks of the G-8 were telling each other this weekend at Camp David between weenie roasts and ping-pong round robins?”
Precisely! I read one blurb in the local paper saying that everyone at G-8 agreed to ‘spark growth’ in Europe as a way out of the mess. Spark growth?? What the fuck does that mean…exactly? I kind of laughed when I read it; funny in a sad, sad, way. Well, I’m sure by this point ol’ Ben B. has his printing press all polished up with a nice coat of Carnuba and all the lube points well oiled. He’d better because this time he will need to print an infinite stack o’ cash for this QE: How much cash, could a Bernanke print fast to fill an infinite hole? At least I have enough fuel onboard to run my 8 hp diesel sailboat engine to get it out onto the lake for one more summer. Hell, worse comes to worse, I’ll sail the bitch out of the marina.
…And another concise comment!
Some of us have given up trying to find the safest investment vehicle and have opted for land, water, warmth and relocation to an area where communities still exist and work their land. Off to check on the bananas, chickens and goats.
Good luck to all in these increasingly interesting times.

Michael Kors is getting really desperate when they suggest making cakes out of used diapers to peddle their Chinese made slave labor pit made Ralph Lauren crap. What’s wrong? Did the wheel fall off of your pushcart “michael”? Is that why you have to vainly peddle your wares here to the Goyim?
“The only real question now is how the civilized world might remain civilized while it rebuilds its money system.”
This statement pretty much get down to it.
Rarely in history has a society remained civilized as its currency and/or economy collapsed. In an historic example,in Weimar, people had to hide and carefully watch their pets or they would be eaten. Several hundred elected politicians were assassinated in 1922 and 23 alone (not necessarily that such is not civilized :)). Farmers in the countryside were swarmed by starving thousands from the cities and their crops eaten on the spot; resisting farmers were stripped naked and beaten, often to death.
In Sarajevo and surrounds more recently, gangs went from house to house taking food, water, guns, ammo and young women; all females had to be hidden when they came through or they were at least gang raped of often taken for latter use. People going to get water (all utilities had been cut off), were randomly sniped out, if not molested by the gangs. One gang after another came through otherwise working and middle class neighborhoods proclaiming that they were the “law,” or the “police.”
Collapse will not be a pretty site. It will not be civilized (but we may become “civilized” years afterward). No less than five years from now, all our concepts of political correctness will be seen as quite silly and childish. Holding on to them may also get you killed, or worse!
Lock and load. Its going to be one hell of a ride.

Facebook could be the trigger. As I type this the stock is down 13% from its disastrous Friday close. It is a company that produces vapor. How does one assign it a value?
On Friday, there was a defensive moat built around the issuing price of $38.00. It could not drop below this amount because the white shoe crowd would not allow it. Today they have gone back to their gold caves. Gold is rising. FB for the moment has hit a low of 33.00. We will soon find out how much FB is temporarily worth.
Haha love this: “JP Morgan unwinding like a 1911 knitted woolen Yale varsity sweater”
Also, if you enjoy fun social commentary on our urban environment/pop culture, then follow @Squirrelchat on Twitter.
My thinking. Exactly.
As to the money system, at this point, I’d be inclined to wipe out all debt, and make usury punishable by death.

Hi Jim, speaking of FB, what is your take on Eduardo Saverin’s expatriation to Singapore, probably to avoid 15% capital gains tax?
Ps.
An unending mantra is being voiced by those working-people who still have some paid work. It goes: “When things get back to normal ____________.”(blah, blah new truck; blah, blah bigger garage; blah, blah new toy; blah, blah fly to Hawaii… etc.)
They aren’t seeing this “downturn” as the new normal, and yet to downturn a bunch further by successive plateaus. The wishful thinking is getting pathological. Have “the folks” finally come to believe the much-touted hogwash that if they adopt “the right attitude” their fondest dreams will come to pass? It sure seems that-a-way, and ya know what? [No, what?] That kind of denial causes me some trepidation. Ever seen how people react when there wishful bubble has finally and irretrievably been popped?
Who says a “hot war” isn’t in the offing?
Have you forgotten Iran? Does the US have 3 carrier battle groups just sitting there so the crews can play ping-pong on the flight decks? I don’t think so.
After the IAEA meetings in Iraq this week, the US will next claim no progress, so that leaves only one option.
Any Iranians out there reading this: Hope your bomb shelters are well stocked. And deep. Oh, and stay away from any of the public bomb shelters that any of your leaders might go to, remember what happened in Bagdad? Yeah, thats right, if the US thinks someone important is there, they WILL bomb the public shelters too, in violation of the Geneva Conventions.
Get ready to welcome a New Dear Shah next year, better start picking out photos of the next “dissapeared” and getting funeral clothes ready too.
Sorry, but it looks like Unka Scum has a whole new regime planned for you. And the first order of business will be selling off your oil assets to US oil co’s. The next will be permanent stationing of US troops in your country.
So sorry.
Could somebody explain me one thing?
Where has all the money gone?
Five years ago ALL banks were so full of money they would give a mortgage to any beggar passing by.
And then suddenly the Federal Reserve, The ECB have to print (digitally) trillions after trillions and it is never enough.
If the banks are bankruptcy, people have no money anymore; the state has no money, who got it?
And what does he plan to do with it?
True, downtown Chicago was a ghost town. we attended the National Nurses United protest on Friday and the Anti War yesterday. I have never seen so many cops in my life as I saw yesterday: Chicago cops, state police, National Guard, so many in riot gear. We were told there were 11 thousand. If the preliminary reports were right and there were 10 thousand protesters, then that’s more than one police officer for each of us. It was stunning and frightening. But peaceful–except for those mostly testosterone fueled Labrador brains who acted out when most of us were leaving. We headed toward Chinatown for a meal, four blocks away, and could see the violence on the TV screen in the bar, even before we had been served. It really was a shame. I’ve participated in a fair number of protests over the years and it strikes me that the difference between protesting in your 20s and in your 50s is ego. In your 50s it’s really about the issue(s), period. In your 20s it’s also about YOU. All in all, I think it’s the nurses who will really get things going, and we were proud to stand with them. And, for us, it was worth walking 14 miles (the day’s tally) in 90 degree heat to connect with all of the peaceful folks who were there, acting up.
“At the G-8 meeting the euro zone was one of the key talking points, so it seems as though leaders are acknowledging the scale of the problem and markets are moving on anticipation we may see some sort of proactive action,” said Brian Barry, an analyst at Investec Bank”
“Provocative action”, eh? Any bets this means putting old Ben’s printing press into action?
It really is the mother of all clusterfucks;
a clusterfuck-o-rama
I personally just permanently closed my FB account. Only had one to appease my daughters social bend. I suggest we all do the say!
James, I totally agree. Obama failed to do what he was pretending to charge himself to do, which was to end the fraud that encircles government. He only continued it. Now we have Chase in the fraud spotlight performing as it has always and behaving as a TBTF entity was supposed to be–a corporate fraudster.
Had Obama come in and cleaned up Washington, Europe would have followed suit. But no, the G-8 sat around the circle-jerk table flapping the mouths. It is an embarrassment that such losers get elected over and over again. And then there is Da Willard–a rat like no other rat.
As average people continue to gather around the realization steam engine, more and more will jump on board yelling and protesting against the failed system of fraud, corporate gambling, corporate exe pay raises, while Wall Street shakes realizing a 20% correction maybe in site as spending demand shrinks during a time when “The Average” begin to control unnecessary spending.
Is this another summer of the “Stay Vacation”, or just a weekend nearby?
The summer hasn’t even begun, yet the wave of real change is rolling upon us.
http://eye-on-washington.blogspot.com
11 thousand protectors of the world-rapers vs. 10 thousand protesters of same.
Hmmm, from that show of force, one might deduce that Somebody is really scared. Keep in mind that the 11 thousand thugs are all armed with equipment that can lead to death (all in the course of ethical self-defense, you understand).
Next time, bring poo to fling. The reaction could be instructive.
James,
Good post as always. My view isn’t so dire; I believe the haves (in today’s jargon the 1%ers ) are coming around to realizing that the have-nots (99%ers) are now past mad and lazy and are approaching mad and crazy. If true it doesn’t bode well for the survival of the 1%. Which means cut the crap and start giving back,—or else.
cheers

OK, so let’s say Europe drags America down and then America drags everyone else down which puts us where back at the 2008 Economic Meltdown but this time there is no cash to re-float the banks so we go into a Great Depression as opposed to a recession. Does the world come crashing to a stop? Don’t think so. Everyone is just a lot poorer and has to make do. Want food, grow it. Want clothes, sew them. Want entertainment, learn to sing or have your kids put on a show. The price of gas goes way down (its headed there anyway), the price of everything sinks. What we need to do is re-organize the debt and pull World Bank off everything. The World Bank is the entity that keeps charging broke countries usury interest rates. Of course, these broke countries are broke because they can never catch up with the interest! Or we could put a moratorium on the debt or we could just FORGIVE the debt.
What we really need is free birth control for every woman on the planet because overpopulation is the real problem. Too many people fighting over too few resources. Less people = more resources for everyone else. Or we could rely on war, famine, plague, drought or rising sea water to wipe out a whole lot of people. The rich will survive handily. People who are living in Transition Towns (which I’ve read a lot about lately) may be much poorer than the rich but they’ve learned to cooperate. With more people cooperating for a common goal (say survival) the goal is more likely to be reached. Or if you can get the municipality to cooperate, suburbanites could band together to grow staple crops on public fields or golf courses and share out the crops based on how much work you and your family put in. So I would count on the rich to survive and the “Socialists” to survive any enormous economic disaster. Urbanites would have a problem. Usually they don’t know each other and they lack arable land.
Also anyone under the delusion that they are self-sufficient and need no one else are probably gonna either be totally miserable or to resort to killing other people to survive because all large populations need specialty jobs to thrive. Like someone to watch the children while adults toil in the fields, etc. Someone who will police the area for safety, someone who will treat injuries, etc. No one family will be able to fill all requirements. We need each other for survival to work. So cooperation for a common goal is more valuable than all the gold and oil put together. Wall Street will crash and burn but we don’t have to.
‘Precisely! I read one blurb in the local paper saying that everyone at G-8 agreed to ‘spark growth’ in Europe as a way out of the mess. Spark growth?’
Was it the LA Times ? NYT? They have articles like that regularly.
Remember the POTUS wants us to have Green Jobs.
Obama and Clinton before him are ‘career politicians’. They started young in their chosen fields, did they ever have ‘real jobs’?
Jim,
“By the end of the week”????
One variant of insanity, is to make doomsday prophecies over and over again, each time expecting the prophecy to be fulfilled.
How can you expect to have any credibility after so many of these “Chicken Little” rants? You’re going to end up in the same trash heap with Dennis Miller and his rants. The humor erodes away after awhile.
It would be better to stay focused on substance and go easy on the hyperbolic predictions and mean-spirited sarcasm. Explain, in substance, the process that you believe is leading us into contraction and debunk the wishful thinking with facts and logic.
This is intended as constructive criticism. Overall I’ve learned a great deal from your commentary.
Take Care
John
“The humor erodes away after awhile.”
Dude. This little space in our feeble consciousness IS the humor.
For those of youse who missed it (most of yez), LBendet sez unto thou-zez:
“Waste is the harbinger of self destruction
What we’ve been witnessing is a complete disconnect on how money should be used. It is the moment that money should be used effectively whether it’s investment in energy and other infrastructure while we still have some capital, but it is being squandered in the most egregious ways.
E. is right when he says that the way the economy is being handled, is the least effective way that Bernanke could have used the FED’s money, creating no wealth at all but inundating a system that can only go down as it is more clear that it builds nothing.
The spying on citizens and the huge build-up of privatized security firms—Stasi meets reality TV–the mark of a failed state.
The siren song of our lord and master, “filthy lucre” has lured our best and brightest to the completely unproductive world of the stock market, but what I really want to discuss is the tremendous waste that the richest 1% are committing in the name of politics and control of the government.
Yes, let’s keep cutting taxes for those who park their money outside the country as Making Mr. Right, Romney does and extract money from businesses for the wealth of a few. That’s the model.
Thanks to SCOTUS Citizen’s United…The corporation are people ruling claims this is a case of freedom of speech-only you can’t know who’ s talking, now that’s Orwellian in a way that only a failed state can pull off.
These people are spending billions on negative ads to influence the rabble as they listen to one distortion after another—the money is being spent to set the under-informed rabbles’ teeth on edge promoting the civics war between the two parts of a duopoly posing as opposing teams while the country goes wanting for re-building infrastructure and any kind of functioning economy. (or maybe the duopoly is experiencing self hate, but heck, I’m no shrink)—Again, think of how their billions could have been spent in a functional economic model.
When I was growing up, labor was touted as the backbone of the economy. We all stood on the shoulders of the manufacturing base and the benefits were exponential. Now this group of Neo’s came up with the brilliant idea to go global, transfer the industrial and technical base to China for cheap labor and currency exchange differentials.
The American worker, you ask? –he’ll find something else to do–whatever and now we’re all standing on shifting sands, which is why every time the stock market hiccups we go into a downward spin. The calculus of change is in the air.
The options on where to make your money grow now limited to far less choices. The decisions the president can make are limited to just nibbling around the edges of a problem because of the payola and lobbyists.
Instead of playing chess–our leadership is reduced to playing Chinese checkers.”
Now, apparently LB doesn’t have a lot of faith in those steering the ship o’ state to chart a new course that doesn’t head straight for the rocks, reefs or icebergs.
(Any commentaries of denial may be addressed to: youreonedeludedsimp@bitemecrank.net)
Dennis Miller has been relegated to a trash heap?!
Progress is being made; a lot more shitbag bloviators need to lose their overpaid “jobs”.
Eeeexcellent!
That’s one….
X, Damnit!
That was never to be written down in black and white for all to see and ponder!
(Aw, now you’ve gone and done it…)
;o)
Dear Jim,
For some reason, I think this blog is one of the best yet. I did like your up beat one last week, however, this weeks is also reality. The confusing situation in the world IS caused by the lying and cheating that has been going on for generations. Most people who remember when it was a little more honest, can see the difference. But those who are young have no idea. I do think at times when I roll past store after store, house after house abandoned or for sale (forever) that contraction is good. I want to see all properties reverting to open space if it doesn’t sell in a 3-4 years.
And the world would be a better place without the entitled ones. Their “importance” will NOT be missed.
Obama is so “evil” that he surpasses Clinton the liar and Bush II the imbicile and all time puppet. Obama is given the title, “Long Legged Mack Daddy, Porch Monkey, and Zebra, along with Head of the Mother F###ing State, Ni##er”. One of his biggest critics is Rev. Manning, a black preacher. A must see if you tune into his You Tube blogs.
Obama is Hated by all including his liberal followers and the only ones left supporting his every move favoring them, are the gays. He is most probably one of them and his hypocritical life\is leading us right into the abyss.
Don’t forget his NOBEL PEACE PRIZE is truly the icing on the cake for a do nothing presidency who says:lets GO TO WAR with a pink gay army, kill a few civilians and americans too. Doesn’t sound too Peaceful to me. If it wasn’t so sad it would make a good Felini Movie.
And of course, now that the gays are sanctioned by Mr. O and Biden, I guess gays can enter the straight world, which they hate by the way, and destroy us too. They certainly are working to brainwash children in the schools. So in the next generation or two, many people will be stupid enough to try their “lifestyle” and realize its even Worse than being straight. Alas, however, it will be too late by then because they will loose their soul to these vampires. We all know by watching the Twilight series, that once you beome a vampire you can never really go back.
Quite true: looks are everything to Gays. Older men and the uncomely will live very lonely lives.
That anyone would suggest this as a viable or healty lifestyle is cruel indeed. How vicious to promote this in our schools. And the fools say what does it matter? Next step: watch how they suppress sexual harrassment of straight men by gays in the military and elsewhere – just as they are doing with the Black mob assaults on Whites.
Tel Aviv is apparently the new Sodom. The Orthodox say little: just breed them out of existence. They are mayflies – here today and gone tomorrow. But the destruction they do in their brief reign is very great. And no society is hermetically sealed. Theoretically Israel can recover as the Normal people have three or four kids and Gays little or none. But the Muslims are there having 5 and six….Do the Math, y’all.
Great name btw. Logic and Truth are insufferable to Liberals becoming Communists.
So what do you want? A new New Deal? A 1940’s type Socialism? What’s to stop it form leading to what it did lead to? Or worse as in the Soviet Union.
I know, I know – anyone who questions you is hopeless crude. Everything is supposed to be an inside, wink wink nudge nudge thing like between you and Xhalor.
As Whitaker Chambers said long ago – there are amazing parallels between Communists and Homos. The secret meetings, the knowing looks, the facade, the committment to destroy norms. The “all norms must die” a la Dr Who, etc.
Doom-porn – I love that connotation. It certainly makes for great entertainment and promotion for book sales. Frankly I think it is just plain nonsense to think that American civilization (and the West in general) will just collapse in a week as is often the way it comes off in Mr. Kunstler’s writings. Not going to happen for a long, long time. I do subscribe that we are in a process of decline already but that it will take several decades, perhaps 100+ years to unwind all this complexity that came about from cheap energy. I can live with that.
Check this out: the Kenedy’s destroy another woman.

Iranians are good people with bad government.
Robert Kennedy Jr thinks global warming doubters are traitors and “should be dealt with”. Of course he is against Cape Wind because that spoils the view while yachting.
This is simply no limit to the Kennedy Evil. But none of them will surpass Teddy who worked tirelessly for decades to destroy the United States by flooding it with aliens.
http://voices.yahoo.com/doubting-global-warming-could-treason-439518.html?cat=75
We must build abortion clinics in Kabul. Our American “women and virtual children” culture is superior to all others.
As long as the child is inside a woman, it’s her call if it is human or not. It can be killed even as it is about to come out if she says so.
Speaking of shitbag bloviators…
If Mary Kennedy was “drowining in debt” why didn’t she sell her $4 million mansion? Seems logical to me. If she didn’t have much money, why did she use her American Express card? Finally, if she loved her children so much, why did she kill herself at their home? I think suicide is an act of anger. What a horrible burden to put upon four kids. It practically guarantees the next generation of Kennedy’s will be included in the “Camelot Curse.”
RFK Jr., is a jerk for making the situation even worse, but I can understand his concern about not wanting his kids ferried aroud by a drunk mom.
Only had one to appease my daughters social bend.
===========
Dirk, the word to be used in this context is bent not bend. (and it’s daughter’s)
Also, in an earlier post you used the expression “if worse comes to worse.” The expression is “if worse comes to worst.”
All that aside, I, too, was roped into having a facebook acct by my kids. Only rarely do I respond to a facebook message and then only when it would be very rude not to. Every chance I get I put out the word that I am avoiding facebook for cyber-security reasons but it has little effect with the FB-obssessed.

I am not a well man. I fear that my brain is diseased.
I read this post every Monday to cheer myself up.
James may or may not be correct that the world will end next week. But he is correct in that given some amount of time, this whole thing goes up in smoke. And probably sooner than later, as soon as the dancing stops, which will probably be sooner than later.
Perhaps the sane response to all this is to go insane. How do you really prepare for an asteroid strike? Maybe just keep dancing and learn some more fiddle tunes. Maybe do drugs.
Good Night and Good Luck Everyone
JHK, this is one of your best posts ever! There is so much to like.
unwinding like a 1911 knitted woolen Yale varsity sweater
Having experienced this with my old sweaters, it happens quickly, all at once… it doesn’t take months or years.
Did it booby-trap the credit default swap universe in the process, and is that getting ready to blow
When something BLOWS UP it happens quickly, all at once… it doesn’t take months or years.
The whole world is hanging by its fingernails
This is the world’s situation. The fingers weaken, then the free-fall to death… it doesn’t take months or years.
But imagine a world where nobody gets paid. That might be our world by the end of the week.
YES! Finally! Someone brave enough to tell it like it is. Someone who will tell us about reality.
By the end of this week the whole economic house of cards will have collapsed!
By the end of this week bank runs will have shut down the banking system!
By the end of this week whole sectors (trucking, farming, etc.) will have shut down!
By the end of this week the grocery store shelves will be empty!
By the end of this week normally peaceful souls will transform into hungry violent mobs!
By the end of this week most internet will be gone (save Apple’s solar-powered farms).
By the end of this week the DOW will be at 4,000 (as you have long predicted, JHK)
JHK, I am in complete agreement with your predictions by the end of the week and salute you for your courage to kick us in the gut once again.
Thanks to following you, JHK, for seven years… and paying attention to your wise words… I am now out of debt and psychologically prepared for whatever comes at the end of this week.
JHK, you have helped all of see more clearly by pulling back the curtains, and, thanks to you, I am ready for whatever happens this week (except for worldwide nuclear holocaust… that would upset me greatly)
Media overjoyed: White births now in the minority.
With this kind of glee, how can there possibly be a peaceful transition? How can anyone imagine that the White minority will be treated with sensitivity? The Elite will continue to be White or at least Jewish – so they will continue to “triangulate” the onus, guilt, original sin onto ordinary Whites. And invite the powerful minorities to do likewise.

Maybe she didn’t own the house…. Or far more was owed than paid for.
And in any case, she couldn’t deal with losing the children. It’s this and his adultery which made her lose her battle with Substances. I mean the adultery was massively public – how many women could deal with that kind of humiliationg on top of losing the children in the near future? I’m no big fan of women but in this case it sounds like the dick is to blame.
SJ, you have to renounce your affiliation with the Democratic Party. Come into the Light. What did Waters say? We don’t need no thought control. Free your mind.
We all know that Jim does not literally expect FB stock to drop to 99 cents while Zuck is on his honeymoon. It’s more a wish than a prediction. But just for shits and giggles I calculated the financial harm (separate from the huge emotional slap in the face it would be) of such a decline.
The IPO is said to have made Zuck worth about $19 billion at its opening price of $38. At $.99 he would lose all but 2.6% (i.e. .99/38 = .026). Therefore, 2.6% of $19B = $494M. Zuck will not be worrying where his next meal is coming from.
Have you ever heard the Horst Wessel Lied? He was a Hero of the Fatherland killed by Commie Thugs like these:

Enjoying all the comments until Vlad joined us with his usual bile but that seems to be a cross we must bear here (excuse the Christian reference but it just seemed to suit the moment). However that’s enough about the Evil One.
One person thinks JHK has predicted the end of the world next week. Must have missed that part of his piece, or else it’s just that I don’t think the collapse of the world’s economies means the end. If I was one of those positive thinkers I could say it’s a whole new beginning instead. Just not a better one. Send the dancing smiley faces home please.
Unlike Asoka, I don’t think it will all crash down on our heads at once. There’s a saying about the world not ending with a bang but a whimper, and I’m more inclined to that view. Often we imagine a big dramatic blow-up of some situation only to find it’s anti-climactic, and just the start of a long tedious slog to nowhere. That’s where we’re headed I think.
After all, JHK called it “The Long Emergency”, didn’t he?
“…which made her lose her battle with Substances.”
==============
When you are a Kennedy wife you are said to have lost your battle with substances. The rest of us just become drug addicts, or worse, druggies. It’s a class thing.
JHK: ” PMs tank, too, because nobody is left standing with that kind of cash…”
This is the problem with being anti-everything. You’ve painted yourself into a dollar long corner, like a bad chess player losing their pawn structure. Look, think of it this way, the money has to go somewhere. In the re-set the money’s square one is PM’s.
“It must have been the emptiest dumb show of mere protocol”
I envision a bunch of old, bald, lard asses flying around the driving range/golf course in their golf carts, knockin’ down martinis and manhattans, and later crashing their own dinner party – then finally getting together at the end of the day with a few hookers, for the orgy celebration…
Adm Ern bleated:
“Where’s the inflation?”
‘Twas hard takin’ this guy serious, after reading that. Someone apparently doesn’t have to pay for health insurance. Someone apparently doesn’t have to pay for college tuition. Someone apparently doesn’t have to pay for a car/motorcycle. Someone apparently doesn’t have to pay for any utilities (garbage/water/sewer/gas/electric). Someone apparently doesn’t have to pay for food/groceries. Someone apparently doesn’t use gasohol (rIIIght). Someone apparently doesn’t have a phone/tv/internets…
It is amazing tho, how the CPI never reflects the actual annual inflation rate, which is something on the order of 6-8% higher than the CPI…
Oh My, Oh, My…surely you jest Jim..The end of next week? I highly doubt it. This circus can go on indefinitely, that is a proven fact…I never would have dreamed in 2008 that the good times would keep rolling this long…yet nothing has changed….we’re in a time warp.
The Fed and State employees unions salaries and benefits will keep increasing, welfare and unemployment will be paid out of thin air…a bunch of dumb fucks will have Facebook stock near the $ 60.00 range by YE 2012….and the part will go on and on and on and on and on and on…ad nauseum.

E. is right when he says that the way the economy is being handled, is the least effective way that Bernanke could have used the FED’s money, creating no wealth at all but inundating a system that can only go down as it is more clear that it builds nothing.

I believe that both parties in the US government are jaded about saving the ship so they’re both just following their party platforms in a knee-jerk fashion while uttering bored, tepid incantations about helping working people. Obama is not an idiot and he saw that the net effect for working people of TARP and the two QEs was negligible.
I hated that moment last year when Obama CHUCKLED after a reporter reminded him of the token existence of his “pick and shovel” projects. He CHUCKLED!!! Given that even according to great economists like Roubini those projects could create millions of REAL jobs with TANGIBLE and POSITIVE OUTCOMES, Obama’s cavalier attitude is despicable.
Malinvestment, to me, is the “waste” that you spoke of which is the prime omen of a collapsing empire. Sixteen trillion bucks and most of the new jobs are either at McDonald’s or companies that won’t exist in two years which make websites. We learned NOTHING from the collapse of 2000. However, I truly believe that the fate of the Facebook IPO is a harbinger of an “end times” for the high tech industry whose “products” make one long for Beanie Babies.

Tale Jim, not tail…..
By the end of this week…
==========
Asoka, Jim’s essay today is deliberately compressed in time for dramatic effect (and you know this). All of his gloomiest themes are likely to play out over a much longer time period…unless they don’t. Sometimes things do come to a crashing end in a great rush. I am thinking of the end of the Soviet Union. Another would be the demise of that dude, ChowChessQ (sp?).
I just finished reading 3 of Kunstler’s books: The Long Emergency (non-fiction) contains all the elements of the “we are so fucked” theme that we are all familiar with from reading his blog. The other two, World Made By Hand, and The Witch of Hebron are fiction novels set in the not too distant future (10 or 15 years out – he never identifies the supposed year). (BTW, it is a good idea to read these books in this order…there is a perfect flow from one to the next.) Even here there is great compression of events for the purpose of making a point.
The whole time I was reading these books I was snobbishly thinking “well, he’s no David Foster Wallace” but I must confess, I enjoyed them immensely. Jim can spin a good yarn. His style (a series of very short chapters) is such that it could easily be made into a movie – each chapter a scene. When I say “it” I am speaking of World Made By Hand and The Witch of Hebron which are actually one story. (I borrowed all three books from my local library.)
It is quite obvious to me that Jim yearns for this future time when the electricity has flickered off, cars and big box stores (mere memories) are rotting where they stand and you are getting around on a horse or mule if you’re fortunate enough to have one. Men run everyting while (mostly) “heavy breasted” women are largely relegated to gardening, rustling up meals and being available for sexual gratification without excessive clawing emotional attachment that can be so annoying.
Food and drink, such as they are in the “new times,” are described lovingly (there seem to be great quantities of corn bread and fresh butter) in a manner remeniscent of Look Homeward Angel by Thomas Wolfe.
My point here is that these stories wouldn’t work at all if the changes from the “old times” to the “new times” spanned many decades or, worse yet for story-telling, centuries, which I believe to be the more likely scenario. I envision myself living 14 more years to age 85, ten years longer than my father lived and one year more than my mother, and I don’t expect it to devolve into a “World Made By Hand” in those short 14 years.
Here is an essay by a poet and farmer about Faustian Economics, Hell hath no limits:
http://www.harpers.org/archive/2008/05/0082022
Not quite sure why but I’m sort of looking forward to the time when all those switched-on linked-in zombies stop fondling their electronic gizmos and get back to surreptitiously picking their noses.
I don’t expect it to devolve into a “World Made By Hand” in those short 14 years.
Of course you don’t. Few people do. That is what is characteristic of a Black Swan Event: it is a surprise and has a major impact, even in New Jersey. After the fact, more people will say they saw it coming, but only visionaries like JHK expect it to come by the end of this week.
By definition a Black Swan event is high-impact, hard-to-predict, and beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance and technology. That’s why few “expect” it to happen by the end of this week.
Psychologically people, individually and collectively, are blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs called a Black Swan event.
You say you don’t expect it in 14 years, but JHK is telling us we might not even have 14 days. Re-read today’s post. It’s right there in black and white.
Not quite sure why …
I share your feeling… and I know why.
In a WMBH we will re-discover a plethora of simple joys which we increasingly have lost as the pace of life sped up, work was rationalized (“theory x” in management, to increase “productivity”), and humans became more and more isolated, alienated, and felt more and more alone and disconnected.
Another winner Jim. I am expecting the roof to cave in on my head any minute. You have an uncanny way of divining the future. Do you use Tarot cards or a Ouija board?
One thing that I think is often overlooked when we see the present economic carnage is that unemployment will always remain high as long as we look at jobs through the lense of early 20th Century America. When our grandfathers were fighting for the 40 hour week,industry needed armies of semi-skilled workers to man the factories, mills, & mines. Even if millions of these jobs hadn’t been offshored, we would still have an empolyment crisis. FB & Google,for example, are multi-billion dollar companies that only have a few thousand workers each. Business, due to automation, no longer needs large numbers of workers. While it’s true they crerate jobs, they also create as few jobs as they can get away with. Many businesses would rather force overtime than hire new workers.
The bottom line is that we need to start thinking about how to spread the work around to give more people a chance (25-30 hrs weeks). Otherwise, to use an old term, the lumpen proletariat will eventually exact its revenge & it won’t be pretty!

Oh but for a simpler time when the world seemed to offer only one way of offing itself ,and you could hide under your school desk and survive nuclear annihilation. The horsemen of the apocalypse are on the move and I hope that a computer program exists that tells me when they cross paths.In other words how can I get the best bang for my buck before the s–t hits the fan.As for money having some basis in reality ,you need to make a real brain stretch. Isn’t the power and mystery of a fiat system based on the creation out of nothing that is why in God we trust.
Can you point out specifically what is such bile? How is being concerned about the eroding of the white population, and our subsequent loss of security in our well-being, bile?
We may not, or probably won’t, become ‘extinct’ but I won’t be pushed to the bottom in a country conceived of by and for whites. Whites can’t be concerned with any other races’s well-being anymore when we are on the downgrade.
so——-
If you bring up slavery I’ll laugh at you. Even more-so, I’ll collapse into hysterical laughter at the massive stupidity of it if you reference, say, the Mexican War as a reason Mexicans have a right to swamp our nation.
Now, do you have a valid reason that isn’t knee-jerk horseshit from some tired old 60s radical?
“That was never to be written down in black and white…”

“We all know by watching the Twilight series, that once you beome a vampire you can never really go back.”
Now, this post was immediately followed by one from a Vladinasia Krandzanov. Coincidence?
I think not.
How is being concerned about the eroding of the white population, and our subsequent loss of security in our well-being, bile?
Whites make up 64% of the armed forces and 80% of the population at large. Whites don’t even represent their share of the population in the armed forces.
Non-whites, immigrants, and foreign-born are 20% of the population and 36% of the armed forces. Non-whites are volunteering at almost twice their population.
In other words, whites are not contributing their share towards the national defense, but whites are gaining security and receiving the benefit of a non-white armed forces.
P.S. The country was not conceived by and for whites. It was conceived by and for immigrants, specifically immigrants fleeing persecution and/or lack of opportunity in other lands. That proud American tradition continues today and is recognized and supported by true Americans.
One thing that I know is that if you have a garden in the Northern Hemisphere you need to get your plants in the ground and seeds planted by the end of this week, if you expect to get some serious crops this season. Mother nature does not dance to our tune, regardless of what Karl Rove says or does.
Mother nature does not dance to our tune
Karl Rove, by denying AGW, is assuring that Mother Nature’s temperature dances to his tune.
I wish Mother Nature were able to overcome the negative effects the Karl Rove’s are manifesting, but it appears Mother Nature cannot control her temperature.
So plant habitats and planting seasons are changing as a result.

So how can you stay here then, enjoying the fruits of the conquest? You are inauthentic and thus as guilty as any. You deserve to die as much as any and all Whites.
Oh you’re one of the good ones? Tell it to the Black youfs when they start beating you.
Black Americans also have every opportunity to leave if we are so horrible. Most of them know that we have given them a lifestyle they could not achieve on their own – though they will never admit it.
Mexicans have their own little game. They come here and then pretend that this is their country and we stole it – as if simpletons like them could have created an advanced technological society.
You seem upset that you are going to miss the breasts and cornbread. Man born of women is of few days and full of trouble. He cometh like the flowers and is cut down.

Yay #1: “Doom Porn.” I’m stealing that one.

“Frankly I think it is just plain nonsense to think that American civilization (and the West in general) will just collapse in a week…”

Good comments from you, by the way.
How can you be only 3 years younger than your awesome ant?
The world is about to collapse into a massive pile of rubble … yadda yadda yadda … the Dow is about to close at 4000 … yadda yadda yadda … our energy situation (even though natural gas has recently hit record lows prices of $2.00 per thousand BTUs, because of a GLUT of over-production) is on the verge of implosion … yadda yadda yadda.
Sooner or later, even a stopped clock is right. I keep waiting for Kunstler’s clock to be proven correct, but I’m losing patience.
And, ironically, I think Kunstler’s analysis is bascially on-target. He’s just too pessimistic too soon. It will take much more time for this whole goofy and unsustainable system to unwind than he thinks. That is, years or decades rather than days or weeks. More of a slow and painful slide than a massive and spectacular systematic implosion.
But that wouldn’t sell books. Bet on a Dow 4000 by December, if you wish, but you (like Kunstler) will be wrong. Again. For like the seventh year in a row.
P.S. Nor will Facebook drop to 99 cents a share this year. Nor next. Nor the year after.
Maybe it will get there, eventually, whenever the Next Big Thing takes over. But if there’s one thing Kunstler doesn’t understand, it is the weird resiliency of the Tired Old System and the Old Models like Facebook in this increasingly jumbled and disjointed world of ours.
“Jim can spin a good yarn.”
Yes, I agree 100%. That is the charm and allure of JHK’s work. I also read the Long Emergency and World Made By Hand – quite liked them though was disappointed with his lack of vision about the solutions needed to get us out of a post-peak oil induced mess. I mean resurrecting the railway networks of yore is very good idea but I fail to see how this will be the panacea he espouses regularly. The fact is the changes needed will be incrementally made by hundreds or thousands of individuals (including businesses and governments at various levels) who know they are needed and Able to make those investments. Complex problems invariably have complex solutions, right?
Do you have a favorite?
My favorite is, naturally, the South American woman driver Ana Beatriz, who is the only woman in the world to win in the Firestone Indy Lights and in the Fórmula Renault. In South America we are all supporting her.
Natural from the city of São Paulo with 24 years old, Ana Beatriz started to race with karting by the age of nine, in 1994, and stayed in karting until 2003, when she made her debut in Fórmula Renault Brasil, a series where she won three races in 2005.
I think it’s about time a woman driver won the Indy 500.
Who knows, if by some chance there is no crash by the end of the week, the Indy 500 will probably not be cancelled this year.
Nice week’s work, JHK. Thanks to you, as always!
“An awful lot of parties may be liquidating gold and silver, too, this week but under the circumstances I’ve got to think there will be plenty of counterparties looking to buy, since uncertainty is crushing all other media of exchange. -jhk-
Probably true, JHK. Most probably.
I’ve been buying silver for a couple of months now. Nothing earth-shattering, just pre-1964 US coinage from a local dealer. Thing is though, here lately, he can’t keep that kind of stuff in his shop. Supply has dried up, maybe because silver prices have softened.
But, BUT, buyers are coming out of the woodwork – all wanting to buy silver as a physical hedge against hard times.
I’ve known the guy a while, and have always been able to give him a reliable few $100 bills of “fiat money” to help him stay liquid and buy more local silver. Now that’s not working.
I’m going to run into town tomorrow and offer him 5% over spot price to see if a little “extra” money will shake something loose.
– – – to be continued.
BTW, bproman, I kind of lost interest in the Indy 500 when a non-white South American ROOKIE DRIVER went out and won the Indy 500 on his first time to race in an Indy car.
JPM had raced Formula 1 and said winning the Indy 500 is easy: all the turns are the same (there are not both left turns and right turns at Indy) and all you have to do is coast the first 400 miles and race the last 100 miles. That’s what he did and he won.
You can see his win on YouTube [2 min. video].
A huge Black Swan event occurred last March 11 in Fukushima and for 14 months now, trillions of becquerels of radiation are being released every day. It has the capability of doing so for longer than man has existed, it is an amazingly big fuck up!
The most dire predictions of this blog seem like an unattainably sweet future, like the Garden of Edan compared to what Fukushima has in store for us. I guess that is the reason it is being ignored so desperately.
Nice week’s work, JHK.
Are you kidding me? This week’s post was fantastic!
BTW, right after the real estate bust, and the FB bust, the PM bust is coming, too. Good luck trying to barter gold or silver for food. You can’t eat gold or silver.
Thanks, James. There is still news coming out daily about the disaster at Daiichi, which is still claiming victims.

“I do offer Mark Zuckerberg best wishes on his nuptials, but I think he set himself up for one of fate’s great pranks as FB stock goes to 99 cents while he’s still on his honeymoon (playing Frogger in a super deluxe hotel suite).” -jhk-
That’s funny, JHK. In an online world that’s become beset by “confirmation bias,” and nearly bereft of humor – WE’VE GOT JHK!
FB was down almost 11% on the day, its second EVER day of trading.
Who picked $38.00 per share as an initial offering price?????????? I wonder if that was price was based on internal “mined” FaceBook data plus a Zuckerberg “intuition?”
So much for that conspiracy of brilliantly gifted men who will soon own the world as they defend one another “to the death.”
Damn, asoka., you’re an argumentative idiot – the ultimate troll, when it comes to previously discussed questions.

===============
Knock it off, P2C, if you please. Enough already, if you please. Stop, already, with the antisemitic attacks every week, if you please. Oy vey!
It’s not about race or tribalism. It’s about freedom of speech. And this quote now applies to you:
How abominably unjust to persecute a man for such an airy trifle as that! ‘I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,’ was his attitude now.
S. G. Tallentyre, referring to Voltaire. Often attributed to Voltaire.
“Stop, already, with the antisemitic attacks every week, if you please.”
-asoka.-
OK – If you will show me why what I just said is antisemitic, I’ll stop.
In fact, if ANYONE on this whole verdamned discussion thread can show me ANYTHING I have ever typed in the past two years that is antisemitic OR racist, I’ll stop typing “”to the death.””
Damn, asoka., you’re an argumentative idiot
I am not an idiot and I argue poorly (just ask E.)
Your credibility is lowered when you make false claims that contradict the CFN archives.
“Damn, asoka., you’re an argumentative idiot”
-p2c, in a statement challenged by a..-
“I am not an idiot and I argue poorly”
-asoka., the corrected version-
I will agree, a..
You argue poorly AND needlessly.
So, how how about we agree on the following compromise “mission statement,” for asoka..
“I argue so poorly that my skills of argumentation can appear to be “idiotic.”
-asoka.-
OK, that’s enough asoka.foolishness for a Monday.
Let’s try to let some new JHK commenters have a say on the new week’s thread.
OK, I’ll spell it out for you. On May 21, 2012 at 11:43 PM you posted this:
So much for that conspiracy of [Jews] who will soon own the world as they [the Jews, in the Jewish tribe] defend one another [BeantownBill, who is a Jew and Mika, who is a Jew] “to the death.”
The bracketed refers to all your previous posts going back for, oh, it seems like months now accusing Mika and BeantownBill of something sinister, which you have labeled tribal racism, because maybe it has to do with the fact that they are Jewish. And that is antisemitism.
Let it go, P2C. It is ugly how you attack BeantownBill every week with the same “tribal” argument.
OK, that’s enough asoka.foolishness for a Monday.
Let’s try to let some new JHK commenters have a say on the new week’s thread.
Every week you turn the posts to me, or Bill or Mika, by your ad hominem attacks.
I am not inhibiting any poster. If you check the day’s posts, you will see that conversations are underway that are related to today’s post by JHK.
You come along and turn it back onto asoka. I am tired of your insults, your racism, and your disrespect for our host with your antisemitism and off-topic attacks on other posters.
Asoka, It seems you are intensely disliked by a few posters here, for reasons that escape me.I find you to be a very intelligent fellow and you post on a large verity of subjects , unlike Vlad, the one trick pony. I just wanted you to know your posts are appreciated by me and probably others who read but do not post much like me.
TELL US MORE, PLEASE. WE LOVE GLOOM.
TARP. 3 JCs got 5 Million for their ‘training in resource recovery, recycling’..a joke.
Yet the city of Santa Monica sent out 80,000? postcards saying ‘100 graduated and wow green jobs’..To my knowledge no one got a ‘recycling’ job thru the program.
Old models are GM and IBM.
‘Old Models like Facebook’, at 5 years of age its not too old. Are you in yr teens?
I can understand, Asoka, that you are sick and tired reading Procon’s endless repetition of the “to the death” phrase that I once used in one of my posts. You and I both feel that this is anti-semitic because of the context in which I originally used it, although, taken by itself out of context, it has no such connotation. Procon is being disingenuous when he says this isn’t anti-semitic, when obviously he intends to try to hurt us by quoting it over and over again. But, I’ll tell you what, Asoka, Procon can only hurt my feelings if I allow him to, and I’ll never adopt an attitude where that could happen.
I’m sure Procon will read this post of mine, either now or eventually, but I’m addressing you specifically. Procon is obviously obsessed with my remark – an emotionally unhealthy reaction. No one can say for sure why he wants to hurt me, but to me,it’s plain and simple he has control issues. He’s what Robert Ringer calls an absolute moralist – someone who demands that everyone says or does what he (Procon) thinks is right, brooking no exceptions. His view of reality, like all absolute moralists, is irrational. I, personally, choose to not waste my time and mental energy dealing with neurotics’ problems. I suggested therapy to him, but he sarcastically mocked me with his reply.
Since I like you, Asoka, I don’t want you to waste your time and energy on him, as well. But, of course, it’s your choice. He hates you because he can’t pigeon-hole you into what he considers proper behavior. In contrast, I find your consistent inconsistency refreshing. When you contradict yourself, you’re making it obvious to others (who actually use their minds) that you’re doing it purposely, not stupidly unaware.
Even odder Donny-D is the fact that since 2008 the amount of US dollars has increased by a factor of 3, so your stocks are effectively worth 1/3 of what they were when you bought them (if you bought them prior to 2008). The Dow Jones is tracking at around 12300, which would read 4075 if all that money hadn’t been printed from nowhere…..
You are right. I need to guard against getting sucked into his obsession and save my energy for larger issues that matter. Thanks, again, and thank you for your kind words.
“I am not inhibiting any poster. If you check the day’s posts, you will see that conversations are underway that are related to today’s post by JHK.”
-asoka.-
Yeah, OK. Sure.
And as soon as I posted to thank JHK for this week’s work – you attacked me over the idea of buying a little local silver.
And then you paraphrased my words by adding your own interpretation to a statement of mine that was designed to say that THERE IS NO CONSPIRACY!!
In fact the only sort of conspiracy visible – consistently on CFN, is the crazy racist Mika/Met, the prickly defensive Bill, and the argumentative asoka..
————————
But, since you’ve taken us off down this road yet again, let’s be clear, asoka..
Mika/Met (now vanished from the thread) alleged himself to be a Russian emigre to Israel. He frequently threatened physical violence to posters, with whom he disagreed.
He expressed the idea that “genocide” would be a good idea for “blue eyed devil dogs,” which group includes many of my own family.
And here is what BeanTownBill had to say, in regards to Mika, despite all of Mika’s violent and extreme statements.
“Mika is angry and I don’t blame him. I don’t agree with everything he says. I don’t always appreciate his vociferousness, but I will defend him to the death, for he is a member of my tribe, a tribe that is constantly being put down. The basic reason behind his anger – well, I agree with it.”
-BeanTownBill, February 17, 2012 11:14 PM
Now, somebody tell us who the racist is, here.
==========================
And sorry, JHK.
Asoka.. does derail this thread, week after week.
He would do it with or without me – and with or without most of the rest of the “regular” posters.
PARALLEL CONVERSATIONS – ANY NEW POSTERS – IGNORE THIS FOOLISHNESS AND SAY WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND.
I can see Procon got to you. My post above was before I read your responses to him. I can’t say as I blame you for getting angry. It seems Procon is an expert at getting people’s goats. He’s just an immature little brat, a little boy who sticks his tongue out and says, “Nyah, nyah nyah, the type of bully you really want to slap silly, but don’t want to admit it to anyone. But I’ll tell you what, Asoka, if you show him your anger, then he wins, and it encourages him further. Try to remember he’s a very unhappy person with emotional problems who deserves your sympathy.
Asoka, It seems you are intensely disliked by a few posters here…
I have also noticed this. They are free to express their opinions, and, like BeantownBill said, those posters are not able to hurt my feelings because I won’t allow it.
Thank you for your appreciation of my posts. I also appreciate yours and often have the feeling your posts are actually from James Hansen, who of course is a legendary figure in climate science and is the reason I often link to the organization http://www.350.org/ and praise the work of Bill McKibben in opposing the TransCanada Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.

P2C, with this I can agree completely.
“Any Iranians out there reading this”
If it’s true you reap what you sow, then maybe the Americans should be reading this.
I agree with James Hansen – your words are usually enlightening and they are always appreciated. I felt the same way about P2C as well – when he was commenting on the content of JHK’s posts, but lately have grown tired of the personal attacks and now skip most of his comments as I do for Vlad’s.
It pays to remember that there are many more readers than active contributors to this blog and the ‘quiet voices’ do not wish to become involved in most of the petty fighting that goes on.
As for the real Dr. James Hansen; apart from being a foremost authority on climate, he is also very approachable and a true gentleman. He once took extra time to explain the detail of one of his many scientific papers and supporting graphs to me after I had written, requesting permission to reproduce them on another website.

…To The Death!!
I apologize to the many posters and readers of this blog for getting off the subject.
All I really want to do is just stay on topic. When dawn comes, it’ll be a new day, and if I post, I hope it will be relevant to CFN. But, I’ll tell ya, I wrestle with dropping out here almost every day.
Now I’m going to bed.
“overpopulation is the real problem. Too many people fighting over too few resources.”
EXACTLY! I would take it one step further and say that overpopulation is the ONLY problem. All other problems arising out of the matrix are a result of that ONE problem. But don’t worry. The Elites now have scientifically-developed bio-chem-nuke weapons which will solve ALL our problems. Big Brother Loves You 🙂

The thing about the Kennedy’s that attracts Americans so much, is that they are symbolic of us all. So much potential, but tragic victims of their own failures.

Thank you … the quiet ones appear to be the sane ones.

Crazy Black Teacher in North Carolina threatens White Student with arrest after he posed a question about Obama’s past.

She’s been suspended but no doubt will be back. If she was White, she’d be history, but Blacks can’t be fired in this insane society since they’re “sacred” cows.
The very idea of members of this inferior race “teaching” White Students is abominable.

I didn’t know that. I hadn’t considered that the sheer volume of fiat printing would have approached that gob-smacking amount!
What the hell is the Fed “thinking”? (Aside from weaseling out of debt by means of currency debasement.) This will not have a desirable outcome for us “little people”.
BTW,
Does anyone know where I might find some Uggs? I have been searching for years, and their rarity even on the worldround intertubes is frustrating. I cannot locate a pair to save my life, and so must venture out into the cruel world on sore and deprived feet; feet that wish for only one thing: a beloved pair of Uggs!
…And so I wander off,
To the Death!
Well its Tuesday and things are still rolling along. In fact the hosts on CNBC are pretty chirpy this morning because of the market uptick yesterday. “Have we turned this ship around?”
And we find out in the morning paper that Toll Brothers is ‘breaking ground’ on some of the finest New England woodlands remaining along the Farmington River, constructing a slew of 8000-10,000 sq.ft. McMansions that will retail at $1 million and up.
WSP7
Hey Ozone, looking for Uggs? You don’t have to travel far. I remember my wife and stepdaughter making a special trip to North Hampton to buy Uggs and a whole bunch of other stuff. They got some good restaurants and bars in that town, too!

WSP,
I be on tenterhooks now! Where might these great white elephants appear? Riverton? New Haatf’d? On the flood plain somewhere? (That last would be sweet; you just KNOW there’s always another flood to come.)

SPARK GROWTH
“I read one blurb in the local paper saying that everyone at G-8 agreed to ‘spark growth’ in Europe as a way out of the mess. Spark growth?? What the fuck does that mean…exactly? ”
You see, the worldwide economy and its models, targets, statistics, values, etc. are all based on the “American Economic Model”: And the Model is really precisely the American one, the USA model, as that is the model of Capitalism, Free Enterprise, Consumption, Innovation, Technology etc. that was really successful in the 20th century, that really fixed the baseline and ground point from which all other models and economies and societies and countries would then be measured.
But the model really only ever worked mostly in the USA: it is a case of Capitalism, but especially Consumerism in only one country, all other countries don’t come close, will never come close, cannot come close even if they wanted to. And why is this ? because no other country is set up like the USA, with large homes, single family homes, large so that you can fill them up with all kinds of junk made all over the world, 2 car garages, wide streets, front and back yards, etc. And manipulable wood homes, not made of concrete like most of the world where it is hard to modify your home, hence huge Home Depot stores with a huge selection of items, consumption of items and such.
Just compare this to so called successful countries that had “High Growth” for decades like Singapore or Hong Kong, or South Korea or JAPAN or Germany: compare their puny tight streets, small homes, mostly apartments but mostly small where you can’t fill them up with all kinds of random consumer goods bought constantly. Compare those countries that “Grew” economically and are successful economically to the USA: they all lack really huge Big Box stores full of stuff like in the USA, Malls all over the place, all kinds of stores and choices and huge activity of consumerism and such. But especially they don’t like to Buy Baby Buy, consume and buy and keep the game going as they do in the USA. Look at Germany, they have cash but they don’t like to buy all kinds of things (they are green and puny consumers etc.), where are all their Malls and their Home Depots ? where are all the huge shopping centers, where are all the big houses with 2 car garages, and such ? Same for JAPAN and Hong Kong and South Korea and most of Europe.
Singapore is a joke: you can’t even have a car unless you are rich since there are no parking spaces and such.
So in a world of mostly puny consumers, tight streets, puny homes, no Big Box stores, etc. green thugs who are afraid of Buying and Consuming like crazy for some religious ideology that believes that Nature is sacred, how is Growth going to be Sparked ? Who, aside from the USA is going to spark any kind of growth ? Like the joke of Chinese shopping centers full of stuff that no one can afford to buy and such.
Add to this the fact that most of the world is rigid economically, is not flexible as the USA (tight puny labor markets not hire and fire and always change like the USA, insecurity people have pumping up the cost of real estate like crazy since they have nothing else to base their security upon), is full of ideology, especially green and tree hugging ideologies that don’t want to Build Baby Build like Crazy (High Speed Trains, Skyscrapers, Rockets, Big Box Stores full of crap and such) and you can be sure that there will be no growth worldwide or very little growth, hence high unemployment and such.
Can you imagine an american styled Home Depot and Lowes in Singapore or Hong Kong or Tokyo and such ? where are the parking lots ? in those puny tight streets, etc. ? That is the problem, that is why this global economy sucks, because the model all the world is trying to imitate is the American model but with their local structure of cities and towns built around people and not cars, with an anti-consumerist mentality, with a structure of living and building that simply cannot grow even if it wanted to. Those places, most of the world has no room to grow, it is all tight and saturated and puny and crappy (tight roads in Italy, traffic jams keeping people from going out and such, tight roads in Bangkok or UK, etc.).
And don’t even get me stated on Mexico or Brazil or Bangkok and such: small crappy puny homes, tight streets, no Big Box stores, no huge parking lots, etc. They will never grow no matter what, they are destined to be poor turds as usual, etc.
The American model can mostly only work in America, as the USA is the only real “Worldwide Consumer”, even the closest similar countries like Canada and Australia are smaller and tighter and have less shopping centers than the USA: and then remember: the USA was built around cars (hence they have the largest highway and road system worldwide, wide streets and parking lots) the rest of the world was built (badly and puny) around people, hence the rest of the world will not Grow Baby Grow like they should.
So, I repeat, we need Huge Consumption, all the world must be filled with Huge Parking Lots, Huge Big Box Stores, huge McMansions, Trillions of Skyscrapers, Trillions of Rockets to Mars, kill nature, hate nature, this religion of Nature is killing us, we need Trillions of Jets across the sky, Trillions of High Speed Trains, split the Sun, Grab the Energy, colonize the Solar System, etc. Be a pig and hog it all up, don’t refrain…and Free Salaries (since the Technological Economy has killed jobs once and for all and for good), Cheap Rents…

I’m still amazed that she was banned from the site. I don’t even remember WHY she was banned but the site is far the worse for it. It’s interesting to me that LB was on the opposite side of the political spectrum from me yet we have an almost identical take on the complicity of both parties to screw workers while the worst stewards of capital in history are being rewarded obscenely.
Indeed, when she left the site, I felt as though a major source of intelligent colloquy on CFN disappeared with her. Life has many paradoxes but I never thought that the departure of a liberal would lead to a sharp diminution of my own level of participation. However, penetrating intelligence trumps superficial political affiliation.

flat-out wrong.
here in Brazil they have plenty of room to grow, the big box stores are ubiquitous, huge parking lots.
construction booming, consumerism flourishing, homes increasing in size.

other than that some very good points tho’.

No, WSP, Ozone and I both talk to LBend by email.
She was banned. So was Wage. So was Hancock.
They all still continue to read the CFN thread on a regular basis, as far as I know.
Hancock thinks he was banned because of his thoughts on conspiracy.
Asoka. flatly STATED that Wage was banned because she believes in certain conspiracies.
In hindsight, I see that my post at 1:02 last night did mention “conspiracy” out of the blue.
Sorry about that. I had just read an email to me from Hancock, had it very much on my mind, and that’s what the “conspiracy” reference was intended to address.
Notice, again, that I will apologize for my misstatements and rhetorical overreach.
Notice how rare that is?
Duly noted, P2C. I’m surprised, that’s all. Ibendet was the soul of this place. Its hard to comprehend why she would be banned.
A small blurb a few days ago in the WSJ claimed Saudi Arabia has increased its crude production to nearly 10 million bpd, becoming once again the World’s largest producer, a role relinquished to Russia 2 years ago. That explains partially the reduction in gasoline prices the past few weeks. Maybe the late Matt Simmons was wrong in his ‘Twilight in the Desert’ a few years back.

Hello Everyone,
I think I just got back on with a new name. Since I’m not at home, it seems to work–so this is just a test!
Believing in conspiracies has nothing to do with it, I’m pretty sure it’s nothing personal to our ideas.

Re: This business about malinvestment and whether FB is “worth” 104 billion beans
I’m real old fashioned about these things ie money talks bullshit walks
There’s two basic ways of financing a company: equity and debt. Debt holders get contractually determined interest and repayment. They take precedence over equity holders in the event of liquidation. Equity holders on the other hand, get their cash via distribution of profits. Or at least they’re supposed to.
If equity holders had their heads screwed on straight they’d demand a dividend yield. And they’d demand a yield higher than yields earned by debt holders. Why? Because debt holders have a contract that says when and how much they get paid whereas equity holders don’t and so equity holders are at greater risk. And, because debt holders take priority over equity holders.
Which brings us to FB. What are the chances of FB shareholders getting moolah from FB?
If FB is expected to be gushing money to shareholders, the questions are when and how much and how risky is this flow of cash. Once you answer these questions you can get down to answering what you are willing to pay for this stream of money. And that in turns answers the question: what is the “value” of FB?
If on the other hand the chances are somewhere around slim to none then in my opinion that’s all you need to know about the “value” of FB. There might be some value to users and employees and management and suppliers. But I frankly wouldn’t see any value to shareholders.
Happy Birthday MM. Old age sucks, no? But I guess it’s better to get there than not.
It’s all about the morality of survival now. That trumps all.
There were wrongs committed in the past, but white people who still actually give a damn can’t allow that to be used by people like you, and half the people here, to edge whites away from being a distinct race separate from the rest.
Besides, there were maybe 2 million Indians* in all of the U.S. at the time. In a country this vast there was more than enough living space for Europeans too. The Indians were plenty aggressive to piss poor settlers trying to make a life for themselves. You can’t tell me that 2 million people over 3 million square miles have a claim to all of that landmass. There were parts of the future U.S. they had never seen, even though they were often nomadic and held no place for long. They were more like wildlife than a nation.
Other races can now have their ‘tribes’ as they please, but you won’t tell me(we)I can’t have something of my own. I don’t want to be lost in the glorious multiracial heap that you long for.
I think you, Asoka, Beantown Bill, and Mika are scum. I held no animosity until now for Jews, at least a certain type of jew, but some of them have shown me who they are. Asoka, though,is just a bitter ol’ fuck who wants to poison everything that whites made.
*Oh and BTW, there are still American Indians last time I checked. Their low birthrates account for their low numbers. They’ve always had that trait; whites aren’t to blame for that, I guess.
Sixteen trillion bucks and most of the new jobs are either at McDonald’s or companies that won’t exist in two years which make websites – E
You hit the nail on the head. You have a lot of tall foreheads screaming that this isn’t the time for austerity. Well if profligate government spending was the answer everyone in the EU and the USA would have two high paying jobs.
I’ll bet that I can fit all of your black friends in the trunk of my car and still have room for the Republican elephant. I’m sure you are worried.
I’m not. You have to practice getting along with unfamiliar cultures. I’ve been doing that for a long time.
I be on tenterhooks now!
===========
Thanks for NOT writing tenderhooks which always causes the hair on my arms to stand on end.
Asoka,
regarding your parsing of the low percentage of Whites in the military. Let’s split the hairs a bit more:
If the Israel Lobby gets America into a war with Iran, it will not be Jewish Americans who bear the brunt of the casualties.
A Jewish American soldier’s column in the Cleveland Jewish News states: “A significant imbalance exists between the percentage of Jews in American society and that of Jews in the services. Jews are about 1.78% of Americans, but they only represent about 0.2% of the armed forces. There is a cogent argument that military services should proportionally represent the population that they are charged to defend.”
That means while about 2 out of every 100 Americans are Jewish, only about 2 out of every 1000 troops are Jewish. Among those members of our Armed Forces who actually do the fighting, Jews are even more rare: only .1% of Marines (one in one thousand) is Jewish.
So, if you are Jewish and want America to attack Iran, ENLIST.

“A small blurb a few days ago in the WSJ claimed Saudi Arabia has increased its crude production to nearly 10 million bpd, becoming once again the World’s largest producer, a role relinquished to Russia 2 years ago. That explains partially the reduction in gasoline prices the past few weeks. Maybe the late Matt Simmons was wrong in his ‘Twilight in the Desert’ a few years back.”
If you go to theoildrum.com, you can find some research there that will point out that the increase in SA production will be temporary at most. The increase in production also comes too late to have really effected gas prices.
Alas, once things get settled with Iran, one way or another, SA will have to cut back production to ‘rest’ its fields, or they will suffer permanent damage.
So, once again, the slight increase in SA production is temp.
Oh, and for those that think they have been ‘banned’, JHK in the past has posted here when he has actually banned someone. But his webmaster might have instituted a ISP block that inadvertently blocked some posters too.
So, welcome back LB.
And wow, that Chinese or Korean (http://www.77etao.com/) spammer is getting quite poetic.
You just made an argument for the draft.
Advantages? Shared sacrifice. If you have an EQUITABLE draft everyone of draft age will potentially be at risk. This will cast American involvement in foreign adventures in a fresh new light. It’s one thing when it’s impoverished young guys from trailer parks or inner cities risking their asses. Who gives a shit about them anyhow. It’s a different thing when youngsters from prosperous families have to go.
I have no reason to have black friends because I feel no kinship with them. I’m not that much of a hypocrite.
I refuse to adapt to anything else except small changes in the culture I was raised in and belong to: an extension of European culture(s). We are a WHITE amalgamation and were always meant to be one. That was the only thing meant by “all men are created equal” They did not take any other race into consideration when that was written. It doesn’t matter anyway, nonwhites will usually be treated better here than they often are in their own homelands.
People refuse to admit that anymore.
If you go at from the standpoint of “I’m gonna go get me a BLACK friend”, you’re not going to have much luck. And, probably get your ass kicked in the process. Know what else people refuse to admit?
Mother Nature is pretty unkind to one of her creations that refuses to adapt.
There is a cogent argument that military services should proportionally represent the population that they are charged to defend.
Yes, my point: whites are not pulling their weight.
Most whites believe “defense” is necessary and want “national security” as a benefit of paying taxes. They are receiving those desired benefits through disproportionate sacrifice made by non-whites.
Similarly, the “cogent argument” you cite should apply to congress as well, where 51% of the representatives should be women.
“Yes, my point: whites are not pulling
their weight. ”
I got something you can pull.
I’m sorry. I forgot to link my reply to Dan_White. Dan_White and I were discussing the make up of the USA armed forces, where whites are under-represented.

What the hell are you talking about? If you’re talking to me I have no particular obsession with having black friends.
There are more whites in actual frontline combat than blacks. Most blacks are in support regiments, battalions, whatever.
The most elite* and the ones always at the forefront in battle these days are whites. There may have been as many blacks in combat in Vietnam, but not in Afghanistan and Iraq.
*One example are the SEALS. You will be very hard pressed to find a black SEAL or Ranger or jet-fighter pilot. They don’t usually pass the requirements.
BTW, do you care that MOST whites in the infantry, grunts, and having to do the dirtiest most hazardous long term fighting day to day, were, and are, usually the poor or working class?. It’s been that way for whites for hundreds of years. Not many make note of that, do they?
I gotta LINK you can check out.
Really? That’s too bad. Let me know how that whole “social upheaval” thing works out for ya. Sucks being you, huh?
no shit, shirluck? have you never seen a word used for effect or as vernacular? sheesh, give a mothafucka some slack- if you see me misspell a word i prolly (there, i did it agin) did it on porpoise, jackass! so i aint payin’ you any dollar sixty-seven for a correction that was unwarranted
Remember, the Garden has many seasons. Things may beem barren now, but the Garden will grow again. You must have faith. Soon we will be pruning and watering just wait and see.
But why do you do it? It’s what adolescent girls do. Some kind of petty (very) rebellion?
Some people rebel by overthrowing countries. Some by not flushing the toilet. Your’s is more like the latter.
Vlad’s on drugs again!
Geez, I hope you like diagramming sentence structure while you’re here. You have effectively swatted a bee hive. You will pay for going darkside on the inevitable Q.
“enjoy social upheaval, yadda yadda”
You seem to enjoy the idea more than I do. You’re a regular on a website that can be sometimes gloom and doom.
“Why are there race issues coming up every week here?” C.O.
Casual,
Noticed a bit of xenophobia, eh? (To these “good folks” the melanin-challenged are not citizens.)
I dunno, but I have some guesses as to why the race obsessed keep this shit well-stirred and stinkin’.
1.) They want to play the victim. Victimhood engenders sympathy, so that one might be better inclined to accept their “viewpoint”. (read: “I’ve been marginalized/frightened/beat up/offended by them, so I hate niggers; so should you.”)
2.) Keeping this specific in the forefront makes it seem more banal and a culturally neutral subject. Simply by repetition, it tends to lose the power to shock. (read: “I hate niggers, but it’s no big deal. Ponder it for a moment, won’t you? I’m certain you’ll find that you hate niggers as well.”)
3.) They’re trawling for recruits for the glorious all-Aryan regiments. When the race war (that they hope to foment) commences, they’ll have the enviable privilege of wiping the brown stain from our Godly New Reich. The impure need not apply. (read: “I hate niggers plenty enough to kill ’em, so let’s jine up and git it done! Hot damn!”)
There’s three feeble[-minded] guesses. Your turn!
See, people like you assume that everyone in the “groups” that your mind creates, all think alike. There couldn’t possibly be any individual ideas or motivations. Now why would I enjoy the idea of social upheaval? For me, there is a very large PAYBACK component.
Simple reason. We have several racist/anti-semitic posters here who have an agenda other than to discuss peak resources. I’ve tried to combat this stuff, but it’s not worth the continual effort – I have better things to do. For example, just today I’ve already been called scum. I really don’t care, though. Sticks and stones, etc.
Don’t worry TOO much; ize a purdy gud spellerer wen I poot my mined twowhit. ;o)
Asoka, It seems you are intensely disliked by a few posters here, for reasons that escape me.I find you to be a very intelligent fellow and you post on a large verity of subjects , unlike Vlad, the one trick pony.
==============
I think it is pretty obvious that James Hansen is Asoka’s sock-puppet. Soak has thrown in a misspelled word – a large verity (haha, that’s a good one) – something he wouldn’t normally do, to lend an air of plausability.
And then farther down-thread he brings in another sock-puppet named Madcat to back up Hansen’s comment as follows:
“I agree with James Hansen – your words are usually enlightening and they are always appreciated. I felt the same way about P2C as well – when he was commenting on the content of JHK’s posts, but lately have grown tired of the personal attacks and now skip most of his comments as I do for Vlad’s.”
Notice too that these sock-puppets affect the same faux reasonable Mr. NiceGuy tone that is the hallmark of their progenitor.
(And, interesting, isn’t it, how these people who claim to be skipping over certain people’s posts invariably know what is contained in those posts.)
While having this three-way conversation with himself, Asoka, in his original persona, steps in periodically to graciously accept the kudos being slathered on while simultaneously all three personas take swipes at Prog and Vlad. How covenient!
“Vlad’s on drugs again!”
Or off his meds again and self medicating with booze, and whatever else he can lay his hands on:
Household cleaner, those little pine air freshners, or those little urinal cakes.
If he can cram it in his bong, he smokes it.
Brain damage be dammed!
Go for it Flad!
You said “poot”.
If there is a payback component in it, long after the fact, directed at the white populace; then you’re exactly who I’m talking about. Unless you mean something else entirely.
Yes, you are right about Special Forces, and the under-representation of Blacks there is due to institutional racism. Whites have designed structural barriers such as the ASVAB tests, and whites decide what the ASVAB score cutoffs will be. Not to mention, structural racism in public education.
But, Special Forces are not doing the bulk of the work in the field. The daily grunt patrols, those under fire, are being done by units sent from places like Fort Bragg.
When you look at the racial makeup of military bases, Blacks are at about 25.5%, twice (2) their percentage in the population as a whole, and whites are under-represented and don’t even rise to their percentage in the population at large (
Humph! Stuff and nonsense, knave; I most certainly did not!
…And even if I might have (which I will deny… /waaaait for it/… TO THE DEATH), I shan’t acknowledge a slight faux pas such as that from the likes of YOU; as YOU are [most despicably and inescapably] **SCUM**!
Aaaaaahahahahaha!
(Careful, or I may poot in your general direction. ;o)
Let us visualise that the fabric of American society has become completely unravelled, Unless you’re up for it, you would be well advised to avoid organised groups of people of one race. Eventually, they will go to war. You may have to live in one of these groups just to stay alive. And the group you’re in may not have been your first choice. Will you adapt? Will you try to get the group to adapt to your ideology? Tricky.
Dammit! Back on SCUM status AGAIN! C’mon Bill. Let’s go get a drink.
Our true national pasttime isn’t baseball, or football for that matter. It’s politics, specifically presidential elections. It’s bread and circuses for the masses. Third party candidates have no chance of being elected, meaning here we are in May and we already know that the next president is going to be one of two people out of 310 million Americans – barring black swan events, of course.
The drama will play out as millions of Americans await with bated breaths for the inevitable, last minute scandal, the shocking gaff, or the campaign strategy misstep, just like every good soap opera.
The real big show is the congressional elections, for no matter who wins the presidency, if the opposing party gains a majority, getting anything done will be problematical.
Yet, ultimately, even this situation only comes in second to the reality of the show within the show: We are a socialistic country, and in the end, we either have corporate socialism or public socialism (or both).
We will arrive at the end of the journey at the same point, no matter which of the 2 paths we take: Bankrupt, environmentally ruined, out in the street, hungry, desperate and very, very angry.
The world is run by fools, and it is very difficult to live in it. The more wise you become, the more difficult it is. The more intelligent you become, the more difficult it is, because then you see the whole nonsense that goes
on for no reason at all.
Nations are no more needed, boundaries are no more needed. The earth has become such a small village and we all belong to this earth, so why distinctions, why divisions and why passports, why visas? But the world is run by fools, and the fools are very powerful.
And their whole game depends on these things: nations, religions, churches, politics, ideologies; their whole game depends on these things. If all these disappear, then where will be your prime ministers and your presidents and your police and your magistrates? They will be just meaningless, irrelevant. They are irrelevant! They are out of date. They should be finished by now, but they have the power so they go on persisting. They go on creating wars, conflicts, and they go on destroying humanity.

LOL! Yes, what we need is to let the free market “work” … uninterrupted.
We can see now what “free market” really means: free to steal us blind.
If you want real Uggs, you could always make a trip down-under. We have plenty of the real deal available (REAL Uggs, real sheepskin, NOT the ‘Ugg-Australia’ which are manufactured in China for a US company). But they’ll seem pretty expensive to you these days – the US dollar isn’t worth anywhere near as much as it was here a few years ago….
They don’t do as much dangerous work any longer. I would rather be faced with a little drudgery and honest work than humping thru the desert tripping IEDs and/or being shot at from a distant hill or cliff in Afghan.
How do you define “honest work”?
Is it honest when you are on the government payroll?
I’ll want to avoid racial groups. But I may have to join one to stay alive anyway…..So I may be a victim of a racial group not my own anyway but I would be alone with no support and community….
Damned if I do damned if I don’t?
I want those of you that argue against a little white racial solidarity, with no harm or violence intended in it, simply to admit that you believe whites/gentiles should simply hunker down and take whatever may come to them in a changing world. Because that’s what I hear anyway.
LOL! That was slightly disturbing.
Yes, the rich are “different” alrighty.

“Because that’s what I hear anyway.”
There’s a big difference between hearing and listening. I haven’t seen anything today that suggests that you should just curl up and take your licks. Don’t get out much, do you?
You’re so about us Peckerwoods. NO ONE will be exempt from compromise should the unspeakable happen. I’ve noticed that among racial supremecists (ALL of them), the tendency of their dialogue begins to drift to a point where it becomes obvious that they don’t really care about a specific race at all. They’re mostly concerned about protecting their own ass.
That’s “so worried”.
I care very much abpout
Oz, late reply, sorry (different time zones!) – yep, take a look at monetary base figures from 1990 – 2012 and you get a pretty good picture. From 1990 to 2008 (pre panic) the US monetary base had increased from approx $300 Billion to just under $800 Billion. By the end of 2008 that had DOUBLED to over $1.6 Trillion and as of 6 May 2012, stands at $2.6 Trillion.
Now, it is true to say that simply increasing the availability of a product does not necessarily force sales up by the same factor, but what you are looking at is purely inflationary, and brings with it a corresponding decrease in the spending power of the dollar. Dow 4000 – pfft, it doesn’t need to slump that low – its value has been hollowed out from within.
…..I care very much about a specific race because I’m part of it and vice-verse. That’s why I put myself into it so much. That doesn’t mean I’m not also an individual but it’s nice to have soemthing and somebody to belong to.
Damn typed too fast and hit the wrong button somehow.
You’d be welcome anytime! To keep your costs down I’ll even trade free room, board and a couple of ales for a few hours work on my 2.5 acres of (hopefully) self-sufficient land.
As for unlimited sheepskin, if the mining sector in this country keep digging up our land and selling it to China, (and sinking coal-seam gas wells) as fast as they are at the moment there won’t be any room for sheep, nor water for them to drink in the future….
But the humans will be OK, they’ll just move into the cities where food is abundant on supermarket shelves – who needs farmland anyway, when you can get so rich strip-mining it…..?

Not only that, but you invited someone else to join you in doing so. Thank you. I hope many more people take up your suggestion. I know Elaine herself read the post and responded to it in comments on her own blog. Pity. I’d have liked to have seen them on mine.

You can find all the doom and gloom your heart desires at ENENEWS.com. It seems to me that if every thing stays the same, Japan will have huge areas uninhabited in 5 to 8 years. Some cities have 241 times the radiation of Chernobyl evacuation zones which is a death sentence for those that do not move.
I believe the air filters of cars in California can now be qualified as nuclear waste due to all the hot Plutonium particles they are sucking in on a continuous basis. A Senator went to Japan to investigate and came back screaming how dangerous the situation is but nothing is being done and the news black out continues.
They are called UGGS because they are so goddam ugly.

Have any of you here ever read alt.conspiracy? I ask, because I *whuz*, from about 1997-2001, and it actually had some decent discussions back then. Ever since, however, that group has been nothing but k00ks (off-their-meds-nutterz), sp00ks (6-fig-govt-stalkaz), and rediculous smoke-screen conspiracies (the Jewish one is always tops for diversion).
It would appear that this new alt-conspiracy discussion board *model* has propagated to all *alternative* blogs with any sort of following. I am reading the same sh!tola here for months now, sock-puppet banter consisting of nothing but flames, trolls, and wacky conspiracy/disinformation. But what can you expect, when the US govt employs 2-3+ million *6-fig-govt-stalkaz*, who do nothing all day but lurk, spy and flood. Just imagine what a better *state* we’d be in, if these same 2-3+ million were instead using existing regulations (LOL – any left?) to investigate and prosecute corporate/financial/political criminals…
WHAT A JOKE!!!
PS – one thing I realized recently, whuz how the war against Afghanistan whuz just as illegitimate as the war against Iraq/WMD. It whuz well known amongst our govt’s triple-letter-acronym clubs that Osama whuz in Pakistan the day before 911, receiving dialysis. And, he remained within 30 miles of that same military hospital in Rawalpindi for the next 10 years, until *WE* whacked his @$$ (if he EVEN managed to live that long with his kidney failure) – therefore *they* knew he had never been in Afghanistan after 911. I suspect this is why Dumbya never went after killing Osama, as it would have shown they already knew he had always been in Pakistan… If one remembers the real reasons for going to war with Afghanistan, they were 2 (3) fold:
1. The oil pipeline that the Taliban were opposed to installing
2. Lack of opium/herion production, almost all of which had been shut down by the Taliban
(3. The trillions in precious/rare-earth minerals available for mining)

As to the whole presidential vote, I don’t believe it will be as simple as the duopoly “lesser of two evils.” I think you will find that Ron Paul, running as an independent/libertarian/constitutionalist, along with the green party Jill Stein, will pull around 3% of the votes (mostly from Obama). Also, I suspect a curve ball nominee coming soon from the OWSers. There seems to be a high likelihood that the vulture capitalist billionaire may win…

Like a waterside stroller tossing popcorn to a gathering of sucker fish, JHK gave his CFN throngs yet another specific timeline prediction this week. And like a cat covering doo-doo with kitty litter, these utterly ridiculous and absurd predictions of late are meant to cover the dead serious (and plentiful) past predictions of JHK that never came to pass.
It’s a form of self-parody as in “hey folks get a sense of humor – of course I was/am kidding”!
But when it comes to the truly comical I’ll recall that hilarious observation of a former poster:
“JHK has predicted 18 of the last 2 recessions!”
the vulture capitalist billionaire may win…
If you are playing off “venture capitalist,” then you are confused. Romney was not into venture capitalism. He was a scam artist in private equity scams. Don’t confuse private equity and venture capital.

Tell me about your nat gas *vehicle*…
A Manhattan bomb style project to restore infrastructure. And what cars and trucks will be using them in the absence of oil (as refined into gasoline), and how will the logistics of this suburbia be maintained (as detailed by JHK in The Long Emergency) be possible without the cheap and abundant energy orgy that has all but blinded us to sustain it?
The new crash program should be more like razing these ugly little entrophy boxes that some call houses in the suburbs and relocating everyone that wishes to maintain civility while their standard of living crashes along with that sleek new 335HP Camaro they bought thinking there was no end in sight to car culture and the US petro dollar and a very finite supply of oil, and concentrating all remaining resources and energy from fossil fuels into new living arrangements which maximize logistically energy obtained from renewable energy sources and is within walking or bicyling distance, with electric trains being the new mass transit between intensely localized major towns or areas or whatever will emerge from the crash that is inevitable, and the new predominant human activity in the US being food growing.
Everything else we are accustomed to will become insignificant as the Long Emergency plays out, and some will think it was a cruel deck that we were dealt when in reality we should have known the deck was rigged to begin with. The euphoria of cheating the house (nature) and “winning” lulled too many obssessive/compulsive gamblers and blinded too many into thinking that technology or this or that magic bullet (such as the military, worse yet, the government, rebuilding infrastructure, praying, pissing on a spark plug, or the amazing energy to be harvested from gerbil wheels) will prevent the house of cards from collapsing. It won’t
Not to throw a curve ball into this dialogue, but there is one way the planet may be spared from the parasitic and destructive nature of the present human race has been on, now that you mention the state of our electric grid. Maybe, just maybe, if we are lucky, the Mayans were right afterall. In sometime this year, the earth’s magnetic poles are due to shut down before they reverse. This has happened many times without apparent mishap. However, the magnetic fields of the sun are due to reverse simultaneously. The earth’s grid is not insulated or adequately protected from solar flares, even with the earth’s protective magnetic fields intact. As most know, the so called “northern lights” are the sun’s flares deflected after its 93 million mile journey to the noeth and south poles.
With the earth’s defense shield down as the poles reverse, the sun’s magnetic field reverses, spewing massive solar flares which fry not only the earth’s electric grid system to toast but anything and everything stored electronically. Animals get along quite well without the grid system, as does most of nature. Humans, on the other hand….the supply of drinking water cut off, communications cut off, food in the fridge starts to rot, and Buddha forbid, no more television or internet. Those who survive will be far fewer and will be forced to rebuild from scratch, hopefully having learned from their mistakes( but likely will not) as their sperm counts dwindle to a point where the present human race is rendered sterile. Can’t happen soon enough for me
Kyoo. Who the hell do you think you are? I’m no sock puppet. I’ve been reading and occasionally commenting on this blog since 2005; even copped a grammatical correction from the real QStick a few years back.
Just because I don’t engage in the petty crap that takes over this blog after the first few hours of reasonable commentary doesn’t mean I’m the product of somebody’s imagination. I know the themes of several of the authors’ posts because I bothered to read everything for many years, but now know to scan certain content for vitriol before reading it in depth.
The real person behind the Madcat moniker is an Australian, a veteran of Gulf Wars 1 and 2, Timor and various other conflicts that centred around mankind’s need for energy resources.
With the help of JHK’s Long Emergency and this blog, I joined the dots and was able to predict the 2008 crash and GFC when I saw oil prices go asymptotic, so had my money safely in cash and precious metals through that episode.
Thanks to the money I made then and the subsequent soft property market here, I was able to buy a small farm which I am turning into a self-sufficient undertaking. I now do that in my spare time while also helping to develop Concentrated Solar Thermal (with salt storage, CST+) as a viable power source in this sun-soaked land (Check out Beyond Zero Emissions). That hasn’t made me very popular in my district (or with my government) as most people around me are heavily invested in mining and coal seam gas fracking. I see no sense in making large sums of money while stripping a country of its ability to feed itself, which seems to be where Australia is heading.
I write under a different name for several climate change and alternative energy websites, which is how I made contact with NASA’s Dr James Hansen in 2009.
If you still think I am a sock puppet, then you are giving Asoka more credit for imagination than you probably mean to.
Oh, and the “faux reasonable Mr Nice Guy tone” is quite real and quite common amongst those of us who have been trained to kill efficiently but understand that de-escalation is a far more productive approach than the alternative – the iron fist in a velvet glove…. Madcat
That last post from me should have been a reply to Kyooshtik.
Apologies to Ozone (could have led to a blue-on-blue)
Donny-D, as I said to Ozone last night
From 1990 to mid-2008 (pre panic) the US monetary base had increased from approx $300 Billion to just under $800 Billion (note, this took 18 years). By the end of 2008 that had DOUBLED to over $1.6 Trillion (note this occurred in less than 6 months) and as of 6 May 2012, stands at $2.6 Trillion (note only 4 years on).
Now, it is true to say that simply increasing the availability of a product does not necessarily force sales up by the same factor, but what you are looking at is purely inflationary, and brings with it a corresponding decrease in the spending power of the dollar.
Your gas may just be the cheapest we have seen for many a year, but that doesn’t mean we can afford it…
“plz don t be offended that i point this out; i m only trying to say that throwing a bunch of brush and kindling on the bonfire sure aint gonna put the fire out…suh…and i m sure ems would characterize herself as anti- zionist rather than anti- semitic…if that counts…..”
-charles, fox trots-
Believe it or not, CF, I’m pretty hard to offend. One thing that offends me is facing gratuitous charges of racism and/or antisemitism from posters who visibly consider themselves incapable of error or prejudice. (soak and btb)
Beyond that, nice metaphor, CF. I don’t believe this fire needs to be put out. I think it’s time to let it burn a while and see what real Truth may be hidden by the flames.
Since 1964, the core of US society has given and given. And in the face of charges of “racism,” the dominant core has retreated and given some MORE. Eventually this will end, one way or another. Nothing lasts forever.
I doubt ems (Ms. Supkis) is antisemitic, either. I’ll let Neon V provide a proof of his charge, if he can. Simply being opposed to ANY actions of Israel or of Zionists, does not logically make one antisemitic. That’s crazy.
Similarly, being opposed to one Jewish individual, and calling him out (perhaps too frequently) over his defense of Mika’s PURE and hateful anti-blond racism – does not make me antisemitic.
This whole issue started for me on CFN months ago, when asoka. finally ran out of arguments in favor of today’s loose and destructive US immigration policies.
Losing his battle, he invoked the ultimate charge that can be leveled against a white man who has been in public contact for a working career – “racist.”
I’m still trying to figure out why that word has such power over me and many others. Especially when the most appalling racism gets a complete pass. Example, La Raza: “For the Race everything, outside the Race nothing.”
And now, Bill has shown me that “antisemitic” has equal, or even greater, power.
Simple combinations of letters.
Words have power.
Power can be abused.
Meanwhile, the entropy lemmings race blindly for that steep cliff, thinking there will be some new money that people will trust when in fact simple barter of food, water, and no doubt drugs and prostitution will be the new medium of exchange in a post collapse, post fossil fuel human race, if it survives. I am convinced it will not, but overall is a change for the better
Can you ‘explain’ Ozone and Xhalor 2 me? [or us].
What about charges that blacks ‘dont get medals’?
MN said:
A Manhattan bomb style project to restore infrastructure. And what cars and trucks will be using them in the absence of oil (as refined into gasoline), and how will the logistics of this suburbia be maintained (as detailed by JHK in The Long Emergency) be possible without the cheap and abundant energy orgy that has all but blinded us to sustain it?
**************************************************************
There is a serious initiative afoot between the Federal government and the trucking industry to convert trucks from diesel to natural gas. I see you overall point and, honestly, I think we’ll end up being “a day late and a dollar short” but we need to start using the fuel we have in greatest supply FIRST in such an infrastructural effort.
Thus, I agree with the idea of a wholesale conversion of the interstate trucking industry to natgas. Will it work? Probably not. But what’s the alternative?
E.
I’ve heard lemmings don’t actually try to commit suicide like that. When it happens, it’s a mistake.
Disney did herd lemmings off a cliff for one of their early clips though.
On another note, I read that a mountain lion was shot and killed in a building’s courtyard in Santa Monica.

Ya gotta keep in mind, Bill, this was a L.A. Mountain Lion (brought to you by Pepsi). I heard the fucker pulled a gun on the cop.
“”Can you ‘explain’ Ozone and Xhalor 2 me?

Allow me to further clarify. Obviously, I am who I say I am; who in their RIGHT MIND would want to assume my identity. The neurosis is so deep…
After so much time here, it has become abundantly clear that, most likely, there are several authors that have several personas here. That is why I am so reluctant to respond individually. If I see an opening that I think will inflict some psychological trauma, OK, I’ll play the game just long enough to selfishly assert whatever jag the ale has led me to.
May 22nd, 2012: Hans Rosling (TED):

There will be 10 billion people on the planet, it is inevitable.
Hans Rosling mentions Peak Oil. “We may still be debating Peak Oil, but we have reached peak children.”
P2C … I must say that your reply to CharlieFoxtrot about the usual charges of anti-semitism and racism from the “usual suspects” was unusually erudite.
Indeed, it is tragically ironic that the people we seem to treat with the most contempt in this culture are the people of the dominant eurocentric, non-Jewish culture when that culture, by any statistical measure, is enormously more law-abiding than the “people of color” demographic groups. It is also statistically obvious that Jews are underrepresented in the military by an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE and vastly overrepresented in the media and financial industries … industries which produce MONEY but no food, clothing, electronics, or anything else with tangible daily utility for the human race. Yet, as you so eloquently point out, the very quoting of STATISTICS is “racist” and I am as sick of it as you and a great many fine, fair-minded thinkers.
I’m in the 2nd year of my “invest in nothing” campaign. I will, again, have no Schedule D to file when it’s tax time next year because I believe the financial services industry and their media shills are a useless, disgusting lot of people.
The failure of the Facebook IPO might be the first flickering of an awakening of the American people to an industry which has NOBODY’S best interests in mind but their own. I cannot wait until this industry represents the 5% of GDP they represented back in 1950 instead of the 25% they represent now.
Many talking heads recently commented that the retail investor “missed out on the big rally” from 2008. Well, no one rings a bell at the top or bottom and I contend that JHK will ultimately be proven correct about the Dow’s ultimate direction because this country (indeed, the whole world) has horrible investing demographics dead ahead (large and dumb Gen-Y taking the reins) and most financial industry stats are rigged with the explicit permission of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which continues to allow ONLY the financial industry to ignore mark-to-market accounting.
For now, the drama will be drawn out by the passels of lesser crooks like Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein with a wink ‘n a nod from the biggest crook of all … Dr. Benjamin Bernanke.
E.
You heard right, not sure how it got a mile or 2 from the mountains.

Thats a great album, that may be my fav song on it.
I’m in the 2nd year of my “invest in nothing” campaign. I will, again, have no Schedule D to file when it’s tax time next year because I believe the financial services industry and their media shills are a useless, disgusting lot of people.
Good for you! I am also doing the same again this year.
In fact, I started doing that in 1968 and wrote about it then. For the last 44 years I have been divested from the financial services industry.
I have been reading and absorbing the state of human affairs for some time now. I am in the fifty second year of my life. The news of finance, war, and politics just seems to go ’round and ’round. What I pay attention to now is news about our biology. It is a challenge to find information about this that the layman can understand in the mainstream media. There is nothing more important. If we destroy it, all of our other vain endeavours will die with it.
Your Problem is My Solution
A trillion people living in Tent Cities and a trillion empty McMansions that cost a million dollars each, better yet a trillion people crushed together in 10 square feet of room space, just for fun, just for the kicks of it, to obtain ever more and higher pleasure as ever more pain is inflicted, while you have trillions of empty huge luxury McMansions, oh what fun, that is so cool, that is what I want, like a cry baby, I want the expression of inequality to be affirmed, the expression of power and status to be confirmed, the winner wins big time and wins ever more as the pain on the losers is inflicted ever more and the winner has all of those McMansions all for himself, so cool, that is Metaphysical Justice Obtained. That is spiritually correct.
What many people don’t understand is that there is no common ground, there is no Win Win situation in economics, the very economy exists only because there is inequality (and must always be, ever more and higher inequality to produce ever more economic activity), there is a winner and a loser always, there will always be winners and losers and the winners will do all they can to maintain their status relationship, their upper hand, they will do all they can to render the status and power (as money is a proxy for power and status and how much pain you can inflict on the losers essentially) relationship invariant, even by brainwashing you of how we are all “working together” for the “common good” or whatever. The very engine of the economy is the inequality of power, is the possibility to use others as tools on behalf of some others and so forth: without that reward, without the comparison, without the power relationship and poker game where you can win or lose, without the risk and always changing situations, and the possibility of losing your status and status changing hands, the economy would halt and die, it couldn’t function, greed and egotism and being a hog is exactly what any economy is all about, and how all those impulses and forces interact and change and change hands and such.
So all the talk of a “Healthy Economy” and “Productivity” and “Competitive Economy” (especially all the BS on Training and Education and Innovation, all such huge crap) and such is BS, is just a fairy tale to make everyone think that we are working together for a common good, for something we all have in common, when in all truth, there is nothing in common with anyone or anything, it is each man for himself out to get you. It is actually a logical error to consider the economy as being “healthy” or “good” or working and such, the economy is just a random mix of contrasting forces going anywhere and ending up anywhere with a set of winners and losers (that at least have a better chance of changing places more often in the USA (more flexible economy, hire and fire, always change mentality) than in the rest of the world where status and relationship forces are so rigid and ingrained, etc.), end of story.
What did create a real Win Win situation, real growth and improvement was the application of technology to all productive endeavors in the 20th century, the Technological Economy generating free wealth that ended up really trickling down to most people, by shear quantity and force and economy of scales, and by some market forces, some capitalism, and a lucky combination of forces and status relationships that weren’t too strictly enforced and too rigid and invariant as is now: case in point, the cost of renting or buying a house compared to minimum wage a few decades ago and today (you could rent a house with 30 % of a minimum wage in the 60s and 70s and now you need more than 60 % of a minimum wage, etc.).
But to really understand the economy, you can say that the only real mechanism that is working is that of creating problems to some and those problems and their solution is the the solution to problems for others: I want to make cash by building homes, I will hike the prices of the homes as high as possible, so I will solve my problem of making a profit by creating a problem for you, I will gain cash and you will have to pay a lot of cash, your problem is my solution.
The fairy tale and myth of market forces automatically adjusting the costs of housing and problems and solution mix doesn’t operate anymore: the status relationships are invariant and rigid, the winner wins ever more, the loser loses ever more, housing used as a weapon is destined to continue no matter what, YOUR PROBLEM IS MY SOLUTION, there is no solution to this situation, it will always be like this.
And especially, when they say “Spark Growth”, no one ever says that housing costs must go way down, must be as cheap as possible for other parts of the economy to grow, no one wants to make the cost of housing Crash Baby Crash, like it should, the powers that be want to maintain the status relationship represented by high housing costs forever invariant no matter what.
So how on earth is the economy going to grow when housing costs are still so high ? A 3 bedroom house in Manhattan and Los Angeles or Silicon Valley should cost no more than 100,000 dollars and outside important areas no more that 50,000 dollars. And the same in London, Tokyo, Paris and Moscow, Madrid and Rome, etc.
By the way, housing costs are hugely higher in the puny rest of the world compared to the USA, Spain still has insanely high housing costs for small apartments in Madrid, what are they waiting for to crash the prices like crazy ? A house in failed city of Madrid should not cost more than 20,000 dollars, bar none. And in Rome the situation is even more insane: even there houses should cost no more than 50,000 dollars in the center of the city (and Rome has a huge Housing Bubble that no one still noticed, go figure, they have prices way higher than the maximum prices that where operating in the USA and Spain at the height of their housing bubble just before it popped, but Italy is another failed and bankrupt state just waiting to roll over and die). And what about London ? Another insane city, they must be crazy or what ?!?! the prices of apartments must crash like crazy there, but you have all of these rich turds worldwide buying houses in London hiking up the prices so they can “protect their money” and especially “express their status relationship” to the rest of the world, and use housing as a weapon against the poor in London and such.
Same for Moscow and Bangkok and Tokyo and Seoul, housing prices must crash like crazy, etc. And then especially these puny make believe “developed economies” would like to grow, but how can they with such huge housing prices, another example why the myth of growth in the rest of the world outside of the USA is impossible structurally, the powers that be and the status relationships that are operating in the rest of the world will ensure that there will always be very little growth (real growth as increased consumption on behalf of the average worker, like in the USA) and they will keep on hogging up as much cash as possible through high housing costs and such.
And then, all the debates rotate around what is “objectively operating” what is “scientifically operating” and such, when in all things social and economics, there is no objectivity, only decisions and choices forced upon everyone else, only brainwashing, only convincing everyone that things are in a “certain way”. So you can say that there is so much unemployment and so little work available, and everyone will believe it, and the next day say that there are millions of jobs available and so much work to do etc. when in all truth work and jobs is an arbitrary concept, is a subjective idea and invention, if everyone agrees that there is all this work to do companies will hire millions to do all kinds of invented (or real ? who knows and who can tell ?) jobs, just to hose them all the next day and repeat the cycle forever: the bottom line, there is no static objective truth or reality, only ideologies, subjectivities, new problems invented and new jobs, and new problems solved and jobs killed, and new decisions, always changing (always looking for profits or the possibility of your status changing position ?) and such.

Laws of Physics Revisisted
I was reading how scientists are discovering how certain parts of the Brain works: but that is the point, we shouldn’t be discovering how the Brain works, we should be inventing how the Brain works, we should be inventing and designing how we would like the Brain to Work, we should be inventing new Brain Designs and new Brain Styles, new interactions, new Observers, new Observer Types.
And if you change the Observer, the ground point from which all is measured and observed and how the Observer interacts with what it observes and measures, you change everything, the very structure of existence changes, you enter a new world, an new universe having new laws of physics, nay, even more, you enter something so new and different that it can’t be described or associated with anything we already know: saying that you enter a new universe with new laws of physics is too reductive, is too modest compared to how deeply all could change, to how hugely different and new, completely new and revolutionary all of the structure of existence and information and interactions and new events occurring can be.
But then which Observer will measure and compare the new Observer to which (and how ?) ? Which will serve as a ground point ? And if the laws of physics are valid for us, how does that translate to what the laws of physics are for the newly designed Observer Type?
But any Observer, interacting or mixing with or measuring a new Brain Contraption would still have to be aware and remember what his laws of physics are compared to what the new Observer sees, but at a certain point the measuring Observer, in order to more fully perceive and measure the new Observer would have to gradually lose his awareness and memory of his original world and laws of physics until he becomes the new Observer ? So then the laws of physics are only a function of which particular Observer is interacting with the physics…

what a jackass
Note to P2C and Neon,
I haven’t had time in the last couple of days to blog, but if you let me know under what topic your post is under, I’ll check it out when I can.
One point judging from what you said on this blog P2C, it’s obvious that Elaine is very anti-Zionist from everything she says on her blog. It’s a political/policy stand. I can’t speak to how she feels overall about anti-semitism but I think she’s says that she’s either partly Jewish or was married to someone who was Jewish, so I think she’s made a differentiation about that.
305th!!! Don’t know the future (doesn’t exist yet…), however, it looks like change is on the way for a world always changing. The question is whether the forthcoming crisis – largely driven by European debt issues, fraudulent bankers and peaking oil – will be abrupt and catastrophic or gradual and grinding.
The USA is clearly, in general, resisting the change and gearing up to sustain the unsustainable that may result in a big “snap” in the future when the highly wound-up illusion-based happy motoring reality crashes head on with the mother of reality, Nature. Fraud and delusion can only go so far…until something bites!!!
…and don t forget that i had only commented a few times before mika offered to come at me with his baseball bat…so by rights i should have just as big a problem with bill and his knee-jerk (sorry btb; that s what it looks like) defence- thing is, i can take em: mika and his sadly limited resources, and bill’s inadvisable interference…which, if a motherfucker does come at me, nobody better try to stop me when i react, is all i m sayin’…seems to me we have a conflict of principles- without going back to the archives, i recall that all bill was saying was that mika has the right of free speech, and that bill, through experiences of his own, understands the anger…surely you understand that this kind of visceral, gut-level feeling is not going to be swayed with ridicule, or calls for examination and explanation…it is what it is…right or wrong it is how bill feels, and i ll defend his right to it to- wait for it- THE DEATH…yeah, couldn t help myself there…anyway, neither one of you is going to concede; less all jest git along!
They rarely earn them; what else?
The same as how they rarely earn anything else.
JK,
I’m afraid the “fix” is in. I’m afraid no matter how hard we want to describe and resist the forces that are shaping a pathetic and chaotic future for us all – that we will never have the “mass hysteria” necessary to correct or even identify the crimes against us.
I remember how I have always discarded science fiction movies because I thought that the conflicting forces portrayed of the social conditions used as a backdrop could never exist in “real life.”
Well – let’s all look around. “Free USA” trades with a despotic totalitarian empire and “owes it trillions.” The most sociopath-like business moguls run our media and banking systems.
Much of our population is little more than super-obese “human-stock” that watch gladiators or cartoons as their sole cerebral existence.
You can’t write this shit as movie – life is “stranger than fiction.
Fuck the Long Emergency – as Karl Rove said – or should I say the “Outer Limits” narrator……
“We control the image – we control the sound” – JK, you might as well forget ringing any alarm bells or sniping at anyone…….
The fix is in.
“without going back to the archives, i recall that all bill was saying was that mika has the right of free speech…” -cf-
You might want to go back to the archives – because Bill appears to be willing to defend Mika “to the death,” over far more than his right to free speech.
And anyway, to give Bill the benefit of every doubt, shouldn’t Mika’s “free speech” where he delights in thoughts of “genocide” for blue-eyed blonds – be considered akin to “Crying fire in a crowded theater?” –
Which is a sort of “free speech” that is morally wrong, if not forbidden by law.
Before I go this morning, I heard that Morgan Stanley is being investigated for telling investors that FB was going to go for half of the original forecast on the day they went public.
Facebook advised analysts to cut forecasts before floating IPO: Reports
can’t give you the url, just google
Morgan Stanley–everywhere you don’t want them to be…
CF, you’re about as close to a neutral mediator as CFN is ever likely to get. I appreciate it.
My 9:05 post was supposed to link back to the same comment of yours that this post links back to.
“anyway, neither one of you is going to concede; less all jest git along!”
-cf-
I can’t “go along to get along,” any longer.
Bill demonstrates that if he and I were business partners, and any Mika came along – that he would favor the new Mika, over his old partner.
He demonstrates that if we were friendly neighbors, and a new Mika came along, that he would back the new Mika, even as Mika began to threaten my wife and throw trash into my back yard.
Now, I’ll probably drop my “to the death” campaign, after a few more weeks of being mostly unchallenged or unaffirmed by other posters in regards to it.
But I will never forget.
JHK, your comments section is an out of control food fight. Allow me to suggest you monitor it to keep out the spammers and set a reasonable size limit.
Ix,
I b’lieve I’ll go with choice #4.
(Thanks for providing it.)
-from me… no one else would deign to be my “shadow” for obvious reasons… ;o)
No sweat, no worry, no reason to bother. ;o)

At any rate “da dewyjane’sencrustrialpalaverage” would be valued at about 4,300 [very roughly] in year 2000-ish dollars. A fine “profit” in dancing electrons [that bought up actual resources, amazingly enough] has been reaped since that time. Hurrah, me boys, Hurrah!

Correct! There’s a never-ending supply of valuable minerals to be bled from the earth, no? These greenies are such a pain in my ass; why if they’d just stop bitchin’ and help out with the mining, we could ALL be rich! (Probably on teevee and famous too!)

Somebody’s a little behind the KunstlerKurve here, but interestingly, this guy traveled the world, taking a critical look at public transport.
Charlie, you are so right, my responses have been knee-jerk. For the past week I’ve been analyzing my reactions to all this bullshit here, and I’ve come to the conclusion it was MY irrational thinking that has led to my responses. My correct course of action ought to have been to ignore all the ignorant remarks because I couldn’t say anything that would change people’s minds about their prejudiced feelings.
This all harkens back to when I was a teenager and subjected to ceaseless anti-semitism; at that time I felt helpless to stop it. I guess I forgot that I’m now an adult and the situation is not the same as it was then – I’m not a teenager and I’m not powerless and I have the hard-won knowledge that prejudice is just a human trait and there’s nothing I can do about that.
I had a second reason for my responses. I was concerned that the CFN reading public would believe the haters, thus turning reasonable people into racists/anti-semites. Someone needed to counteract the haters, so I just took on the role of defender.
For a mostly rational person, I sure did act irrationally. I guess it shows how powerful emotions can be. Unfortunately, and I’m sorry to break the news to you, Charlie, if you didn’t realize it, but there is no such species as Vulcans, and there are no Spocks.
Anyway, I’m no longer going to reply to these types of posts even once, so any negative statements in this regard will come from the other side, not me. As I said yesterday, I got better things to do. I think I got my head on straight with this subject matter enough to ignore it from now on.
Finally, I’d like to thank you for your support in general.
Liquid Brainium
So free your Brain Style and Brain Design from the arbitrary choice Natural Evolution or GOD or the Laws of Physics decided to give to it just for fun, just for the kicks of it, just to show how arbitrary they were in designing this specific and peculiar Brain Contraption. It is not necessary to decode “How it Works”, who cares how it works, what importance does that have ? Any way it works is just an arbitrary fluke design choice on behalf of Nature, there is nothing Metaphysical or Absolute or Spiritually Greater or worth more than any design you choose for the Brain to have: nay, the Brain can have any possible design imaginable, can be an infinitely contorted and complex contraption working in trillions of incredible different ways. And in fact, the very fact that there are so many possible Brain Designs, that the possible combinations are surely greater than 10^100 (100 circuits in 10 different configurations and each configuration is a new world, and experience space, and possible interaction and universe space with new laws of physics and new emotion circuits and contraptions and sense organs and so on forever) means that we will never know anything at all, the amount of possiblities to discover is so large that we will never know anything, we know nothing at all, even if we experience some of the trillions of possibilities, we will never know anything at all no matter what and no matter how hard we try. Brains self designing themselves, universes self designing themselves, laws of physics self inventing themselves and such.
Don’t figure out how the Brain works, Invent how it works, Design a new Brain, nay, Invent a new false way of how you want it to work, lie to yourself, lie to the brain, the brain deserves to be lied to, invent brains, do not investigate them or figure out how they work, invent how they work, make it all up, tell lies, never tell the truth and so forth.
So you can design and construct a modified mind that changes its internal circuits according to the images it sees, any image becomes a new neural circuit set, all the brain signals will now be processed by the image (or you can do the opposite and process the brains as bits and information chunks on behalf of images and such) a new brain hence a new world, and the new neural circuits composed and set up according to the image it receives with its eyes (a tree, a car, a forest, whatever) will process the internal signals of the new Brain Mindform Contraption, the new Observer Contraption and so forth.
The Information becomes the Observer (or/and the Observer brecomes the Information ?) and the Observer may use other Brains as its information and such and so on forever, just invent it be crazy, invent the most incredible contraptions you can.
So just like everything you see is a Brain as in Brainium, all is a possible Brain design, nay, is actually a new brain, is a new Observer, then it is all a liquid of Brains, ever changing designs and Observers exploring the space of possibilities of Universes and Worlds and new Laws of Physics…

So I was right about the Jews. And know what? I’m right about the Blacks as well. You rush to your mental ramparts and cry, “They’re not all like that!” Alot of them are Prog, most of them. And remember Derbyshire’s Principle: the ones that aren’t will in general support the ones that are. Thus a untied front is created. Witnesses to the Zimmerman/Trayvon incident are now changing their testimony to Zimmerman’s detriment. One can imagine the pressure that is being put on them.
To be more specific: I don’t claim that most Blacks are killers. But most Blacks will support a Black Killer of a White on principle regardless of his guilt. Jews are the same. Mexicans are the same. Muslims are the same. WE are the special ones. Some of the East Asians are strong on Justice as well, though they’re not as strong on it inter-culturally as we are.

Gypsies are the same btw, despite being vastly lower in IQ and Culture. They have a vast mythos of legends and songs about how they were cast out and rejected by Society. And thus have the right to do whatever they have to to survive. All Bullshit of course. They could have blended in at any time. I’m sure some have, but the rest keep it going. They like it, feeling special. And of course the “whatever they have to” can be very profitable.

Hey A, all government employees aren’t “goldbrickers”, I did my fair share. Sure there was plenty of down time, but we had to go from zero to sixty out of a dead sleep in minutes.

Well great. Just when I was about to nominate Ozone’s “rewarp” as the Word of the Day, ya hit us with “thefuckalonealready”. I can see an application for Ozone’s word. It would be commonly used in the manufacturing of hockey sticks. But yours…(sigh). I’m going to have to recalibrate.

Btw, my response about the garden was a literary reference to Being There by Kosinsky (sp?). I’m sure she got it. You didn’t? Now what else are you missing?
Just saw a 990 pound person moving a shopping cart down the aisle at the local supermarket and realized that obesity in America soon won’t be a problem anymore.
“Now what else are you missing?”
A way to paralyse your fingers using only my mind. Workin’ on it.
Using Mr. 990 lb’er as a visual cue, I can think of all kinds of reasons why obesity soon won’t be a problem. Which one(s) were you thinking of?
you, too?! great minds DO think alike…
Oh, great, this is all we needed:
Americans bought more new homes last month, the latest evidence that the U.S. housing market is recovering.
What next? Unemployment continues to lower, 26 consecutive months of positive job growth in the private sector, no 4,000 DOW, no war with Iran, etc.
All this good news really putting a harsh on the doomer buzz.
“somewhat un-PC idea that Barack Obama turned out to be the first black schmuck elected President of the US”
That’s kind of anemic. No, let me re-phrase: it’s lame. Much more accurately, B.O. is precisely what Osama bin Laden called him after the last election: “the house negro”, with all that implies. That he was nothing more than a jive-ass mutha from Chi-town was obvious to anybody with eyes to see & ears to hear during the debates last time around. If you supported him, and we all know you did, you were a fool for doing so. Why not just come out & admit it? You sound ridiculous with all your twists & turns that aim to criticize what you previously promoted without letting on again that you did promote it.
This time around is the same as last time, i.e. there are no acceptable candidates, they are all fatally flawed. The system will never produce an acceptable one as it is too broken to ever manage it. Jump ship: leave the country while you still can, or prepare to be chained in place. Those are the only choices.
I was thinking of climate change causing food shortages, or some other factors impacting agriculture such as an oil shortage causing a shortfall in fertilizer or pesticides, or a breakdown in the ability to move food or food products to where they are needed.
Part of the reason for obesity is the easy availability of food products. I don’t see Americans deciding to change their eating lifestyle unless forced to by circumstance. Oh, another factor is many people may not be able to afford food and other necessities as a result of an economic breakdown or political collapse.
FACT: The federal government has gotten smaller under only three presidents in the post-war era, and all are Democrats: Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and Barack Hussein Obama.
Republican members of Congress voted for all of the Bush administration budget-busting measures.
If you want fiscal responsibility, don’t vote Republican.
Romney wants us to believe that critics of private equity are against capitalism. They’re not. They’re against a predatory system created and perpetuated by Wall Street solely to pump its own profits.
Romney’s whole election pitch turns on the story he tells about his time at Bain, which goes like this: I, Mitt, have a record record of building businesses and creating jobs, and what I did for floundering companies, I’ll do for the U.S. economy.
There’s only one problem with Romney’s story: It doesn’t describe most of what private equity firms actually do. The companies Romney holds up as successes – Staples, Sports Authority et al. – were not Bain private equity deals; they were venture capital investments in companies that Bain neither owned nor ran.
WHAT THE FUCK!!

“Prejudice, antisemitism” etc._______
As a person originally from the deep South, I’ve been subjected to media slurs, misrepresentation, ridicule, and social marginalization. Even though I’m from a generation that had nothing to do with all the ills visited on blacks, or from a family or class that held any power of ‘oppression’ over them. Almost all of my relatives from far back were only middle class small business owners, at best… Although I’m sure making our own living is somehow a form of oppression to some….
When I moved from the South to only as far north as Maryland, I heard my share of contempt and sometimes hatred for the South. Many people have their stories to tell.
More bad news: Congress is close to passing a transportation bill. Republicans and Democrats are cooperating: imagine that! The conference committee on the transportation bill must do at least three things:
Preserve the Senate provisions that provide dedicated funding for repairing our roads and bridges — and hold states accountable for repairing them.
Protect my community’s access to funds in the Senate bill that make walking and biking safer by preserving the local grant program created by the Cardin-Cochran amendment, and
Keep the flexibility for public transportation “operations” in the Senate bill that allows struggling transit agencies of all sizes to maintain service during a fiscal crisis.
If Congress starts passing legislation that benefits everyone, and creates jobs, that is more harsh on the doomer buzz.
…It’s time for it to stop being so one-sided, like it has been in my lifetime.
So as soon as the US starts talking about thinking about withdrawal, this shit.
We are not the world’s police. The Taliban have already won this ten-year “war on terror”

Fuckin’ AY “Out of Afghanistan”! Why don’t you send one of your daughters or grand-daughters over there for some of that home-spun education. What kind of families do they expect to have when mom has been psychologically traumatised from birth? Enough already! Let the crazy motherfuckers kill each other.
At the recent state GOP convention in Minnesota, after Gingrich got out, after Santorum got out, did Romney win all the delegates?
Nope, Ron Paul won 12 of 13 delegates.
I’m beginning to wonder if the Ron Paul delegate strategy is going to prevent Mitt Romney from having the nomination tied up.
Ron Paul just got 92% of the delegates. Willard Romney got 8%. This spells trouble for Romney at the GOP convention.
CORRECTION
Mrs. Asoka just pointed out that Romney did not get any delegates at the GOP state convention in Minnesota. Out of courtesy, Ron Paul’s supporters managed to secure a delegate for Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who dropped out of the race after the first nominating contest in Iowa.
So, the delegates awarded were as follows:
12 … Ron Paul
1 … Michelle Bachman
0 … Willard Romney
Doesn’t look good when Republicans don’t support Romney.
Since when do we need the military to impose educational policy all other countries?
Out of Afghanistan NOW!
Boo-yah!
So you’re sending your girls? Right?
No, I’m bringing the USA troops home where they belong.

You just can’t put troops all over the world to engage in nation building. Afghanistan will have to address problems in Afghanistan.
Nope. Shouldn’t send troops to any of those places. But, we already have troops in Afghanistan. You know, the place where the “clergy” deliberately POISONS female children for having the audacity to go to school. That is, when they’re not BEATING them with hunks of steel-belted radial because their eye-slit reveals the bridge of their nose in an unholy way.
we already have troops in Afghanistan
And should they be sitting in all the classrooms with the children, in case there is another attack?
The military is not the solution. The military is powerless to change the situation in Afghanistan. After ten years of military intervention the Taliban are STRONGER than ever. The military has failed.
“And should they be sitting in all the classrooms with the children, in case there is another attack?”
If that’s what it fuckin’ takes. Eisenhower sent troops to Little Rock, Arkansas.
US forces raped two women in Kandahar carnage
17th March 2012
The Afghan parliamentary mission investigating the recent massacre of 16 civilians by US forces in Afghanistan says two women were raped during the deadly incident, Press TV reports.
Two members of the fact-finding mission, Hamidzi Lali and Shakiba Hashemi, told the general meeting of Afghanistan’s parliament on Saturday that the American troopers raped two Afghan women before starting the massacre. They said between 15 to 20 US soldiers were involved in the carnage.
This is while Washington claims that the 38-year-old Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, who has just arrived in the US, was the only American military personnel responsible for the massacre.
Earlier on Friday, Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai criticized the United States for not cooperating with the Afghan fact-finding team and said the killing of civilians by foreign forces in Afghanistan “has been going on for too long.”
On March 11, a group of US soldiers went from house to house in three villages in Kandahar’s Panjwaii district and gunned down Afghan civilians inside their homes, killing at least 16 people — mostly women and children — and injuring several others.
USA Out of Afghanistan NOW!
Last I checked the USA Constitution had some jurisdiction over Little Rock, Arkansas. We are illegally occupying Afghanistan.
USA troops in Afghanistan are technically war criminals, and their rape and slaughter of Afghanistan civilians should be prosecuted in international tribunals.
Only your twisted little mind equates extreme battle fatigue with the institutional horror that the Taliban brings.
..Probably on teevee and famous too!..
ooh, ooh, can I get close to Kim Kardashian? (…a lesson in recognising bubble assets?)
Seriously though, with a plan like that you should consider running for government in this country. Both sides of politics would love you!
So, your girls got their boarding passes yet?
Oh, now it’s the fault of “battle fatigue”? Only your twisted mind excuses an illegal occupation of a foreign land and its constant slaughter of Afghanistan civilians.
Add to that 500,000 “internally displaced persons”… Battle fatigue is no excuse for the commission of war crimes. USA troops should be prosecuted in international tribunals for their crimes against humanity.
Just answer the question, dipfuck. After living in this country for as long as you have, would you send your female children to school in Afghanistan?
If I had girls, I would not send them to a war zone in a country occupied by USA troops.
I would be concerned about ending violence in USA schools
And just what the fuck do you know about battle fatigue, anyway? Do spare me the goddamn cutting and pasting.
I know a lot about battle fatigue and PTSD. Doing battle with you is fatiguing.
I cut and paste to provide some actual facts about the USA military atrocities that are affecting civilians more than the Taliban. Is rape excused by “battle fatigue”? Is murder excused by “battle fatigue”? Is any atrocity committed by USA forces excused by battle fatigue? What a whiner!
“Do spare me the goddamn cutting and pasting.”
-x, to asoka.-
Careful, X. Pretty soon you will be lumped in with the rest of us Native American killing/atomic bomb dropping/slavebeating/Jim Crow loving UNDESIRABLES – all of us helpless, hapless, hopeless victims of our ancestor’s karma – forever.
Your subject appears to be going into asoka.manic mode right now. I’d like to see James Hansen, Madcat, JonathanSS, or any of the other asoka.genuflectors try to engage him in a meaningful way about something important – right about now.
It can’t be done, once he gets like this.
And yes, a.., this is an ad hominem.
“Is any atrocity committed by USA forces excused by battle fatigue?”
Nope. I think the command structure should go back to firing squads and hangings for capital crimes committed in a free-fire zone. Now here’s the tough question. Is being raped by a Marine any worse than being “honor raped” by a religious zealot? These people NEED A GODDAMN BREAK from all of us. The US Govt. & military need to be sincere about Afghanistan or LEAVE. The rest of the world’s governments appear to have adopted a “let ’em kill each other” policy. How is THAT better?
Pretty soon you will be lumped in with the rest of us…
I call it like I see it, and I copy/paste to provide facts to back up my claims.
Blacks did not enslave whites and transport them across oceans for profit. Whites did that to Blacks.
Native Americans did not travel to Europe to engage in genocide of whites. Whites did that to Native Americans.
No where in the world have non-whites who possess nuclear weapons used nuclear weapons on civilian populations, or even against their enemies in war. Only whites have done that.
Anyone who can’t stand the heat (facts), should get out of the kitchen.
This is not ad hominem, P2C. I respect you. I’m not calling you names. I’m not singling you out.
I’m just calling a spade a spade.
God, you’re a stupid fuck. You do understand the difference between desire and ability don’t you?

Maybe it helped.
I have decided that questions of race and religion are too big to keep ignoring for the US, though.
Sam Malone didn’t ignore important stuff, you know?
Yet another, conciliatory post for BTB will follow.
Stay tuned.
“I call it like I see it, and I copy/paste to provide facts to back up my claims.”

OK, a.., thanks for the confirmation.
You want me to go kill my unworthy self now?
Or, perhaps, you could shut up and let me compose a post to BTB like he and I are a couple of real honest adults?
Maybe you missed last week when I listed all the things I DESIRED and was ABLE to realize throughout our shared history.
Your name calling is silly. My life has shown me that I have the power to effect change. I’m very happy with my life. I get what I want.
Several years ago here on CFN there was a poster named 10th Jaeger who swore we would never withdraw combat troops from Iraq, not from the cities, not from the countryside because of oil, big embassy buildings, etc. I said I wanted US troops out of Iraq and in 2011 that’s what happened.
Even if I don’t always get what I want, I get what I need.
You want me to go kill my unworthy self now?
I don’t know what this means. I don’t consider you unworthy. You are intelligent and in a good position in Georgia to work with morally depraved whites, the ones who, unlike you, are racist, and you can effect positive change.
But you don’t have to do anything. You are free to do whatever you want. Or do nothing at all.
Bill,
I once offered to tell a couple of stories to prove my non-antisemitic bona fides. You never took me up on it. And our situation has augured into the ground to the point that it probably doesn’t matter.
Nevertheless, here goes:
I’m sorry you had a rough time with antisemitism growing up. I wish I had been there. I would have tried to stand up with you.
My own adolescence was no bed of roses, either.
My dad had to take a couple of job transfers, that’s just the way it was. The worst one snatched me out of my existence at the rural edge of a small town south of Atlanta – and forced me into the “multicultural??” mix of big-city Macon, GA. I was 8, at the time.
My mom was a teacher, born and bred. She had the instinct for good neighborhoods and good schools – an instinct that realtors would later form into a commodity and publish on the web as “School Performance Data.”
So she forced my dad to buy a house in the best neighborhood in Macon. The year was 1964. There was Hell on the horizon for the US. We didn’t care. We had a good school.
I’ve told you that the rabbi of the largest synagog in Macon lived two doors down from us. Great guy. Hot daughter. (unfortunately a little too old and a little too upper class for me, but still hot. and extraordinarily nice.)
Anyway, looking back, at least 25% of the neighborhood was Jewish. This was in a town where Jews were a tiny minority. I never cared. Still don’t. So, that means many of my friends were Jewish. Maybe all of them were. I never thought about it. I never thought that any of them thought about it, either.
Until I “met” you – and the Mika/Met – on CFN, that is.
Now, I think about it a lot.
=======================
Look, Bill. I’m out of time.
And I’m probably going to be out of pocket until Sunday, maybe at the earliest.
Your defense of Mika was a real “kick in the gut,” to me. Still is. It made me question the validity of any/all of my friendships growing up.
Made me question all of my friendships and work relationships – forged over the past 40+ years.
I wish I could figure out a positive way to end this post.
I can’t.
My gut still hurts.
The rest of the world’s governments appear to have adopted a “let ’em kill each other” policy. How is THAT better?
Is meddling in other people’s affairs “better”? Has ten years of meddling made things “better” (for the others, not for those who are dead or for the 500,000 internally displaced).
How can you know for sure that things will get “worse” if we leave? Nobody has a crystal ball. Every country and people is different from another, making extrapolation difficult.
Countries should concern themselves with their own problems: violence against school girls in the USA. Wealth inequality in the USA. Fundamentalists and extremists in the USA. Don’t go looking for extra troubles. You have enough right here at home.
Q. I invested all my savings in Facebook stock. Now, I’m down big. My wife isn’t aware that a huge chunk of the money is gone. What do I tell her?
A. Tell her she married a MUPPET who didn’t learn anything from the tech bubble or the market crash in 2008.
I wonder what is left of any unique Afghan culture after so many countries have rampaged through there for so long. I will never understand how keeping women illiterate advances a culture that is most likely in it’s death throes. Pointing out the weaknesses, if not dangers, of our school system does nothing to help them. There is no comparison anyway. However fucked up it may be, our girls are going to school. I strongly suspect that many Middle Eastern cultures are, indeed, being slowing eliminated to ease an international transition to less available oil. It’s been going on for so long, with so many governments involved, how can there really be any doubt that it’s happening?
Did you catch that we seem to have passed Peak Starbucks today? I’m not sure if laughter or sobbing is appropriate in the case of the people quoted below:

Begs for satire…..
The greatest violence against women happens in the family not in the schools … in both developed and developing countries alike.
In the United States, a woman is beaten every 18 minutes. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury among women of reproductive age in the United States. Between 22 and 35 per cent of women who visit emergency rooms are there for that reason.
Instead of focusing on a tragedy in Afghanistan, why not focus on the tragedy of violence against women in the USA. Not long ago in the USA women were in much worse position, and American women fought and changed it (not without great sacrifice and death). There are still many efforts to deny women their rights, today, in the USA.
It is up to the women of Afghanistan to change how women are treated there. We cannot legislate it for Afghanistan from the USA and we cannot accomplish it through military force or military occupation of Afghanistan.
‘The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox’ Book
Angus Hyland was commissioned by Jacob Lehman at Rizzoli to design the book to accompany “Fantastic Mr Fox,” the latest film by Wes Anderson. The film is based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel, originally illustrated by Donald Chaffin. The book chronicles the making of the film adaptation, which uses stop-motion animation and features the voices of George Clooney as Mr. Fox, Meryl Streep as Mrs. Fox and Bill Murray as Badger.Hyland and his team were given an overwhelming array of materials with which to work. These included: Wes Anderson’s drawings, along with his annotated scripts; pictures of props, sets and puppets; the Chaffin illustrations; stills from the film; concept designs and character development drawings; material swatches for costumes; and technical drawings and interviews with Wes and Eric Anderson, Jason Schwartzman and Liccy Dahl.In order to cope with this vast plethora of material, the Pentagram team established a structure for the layout of the book. They decided to follow the chronological order of the story and alongside this chronology, to demarcate special sections on character development through the use of different papers.The main characters are introduced in the special sections. Each section starts and finishes with a full-bleed image. The sections provide an explanation of the process from early sketches through character development, fabric samples and costume designs to the final puppet.The start of each chapter features a page from Anderson’s annotated script giving an insight into the thoughts behind the creation. Frequently working remotely, Anderson had to communicate via email with the animators on set and these emails also feature in the book.Wes Anderson was closely involved in the book design. He provided Hyland with his starting point, the book Truffaut by Truffaut, and worked in conjunction with the Pentagram team, approving overall structure, layouts and use of font.The attention to detail lavished on the film itself is mirrored in the book with the cover material being chosen to mimic Mr Fox’s corduroy suit whilst the endpapers match the cream of his shirt. The book also contains full bleed pages from “White Cape,” the comic maquette read by Mr. Fox’s mopey schoolboy son, Ash.The book is available now at a price of $35.00 within the US.Check out the Trailer for the film below.Extracted from Pentagram, who were themselves responsible for the design, layout and art direction of the title.Thanks to SAS for the heads up.

As long as the US has a vested interest in oil leaving the Middle East, and as long as the US has a military, however reduced their numbers, there will ALWAYS be a US military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. Period. It’s just where they happen to be located on the face of the planet. They’re strategically important. Time will tell.
“No NATO, No War”
Chicago, May 21, 2012. Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars led a peace march of thousands of people. Iraq Veterans Against the War held a ceremony where veterans discarded their war medals by hurling them down the street in the direction of the NATO summit.
We hear the soldiers’ voices as they return their medals one by one from the stage.
“I’m here to return my Global War on Terror Service Medal in solidarity with the people of Iraq and the people of Afghanistan,” said Jason Hurd, a former combat medic who spent 10 years in the U.S. Army. “I am deeply sorry for the destruction that we have caused in those countries and around the globe.”
For the last 44 years I have been divested from the financial services industry.

I guess you forgot that you’ve bragged several times that you are making 12.5% (I think that was the figure) on your money. Was this done somehow outside “the financial services industry?”
Oh the web of lies we weave. Do you even remember whether you’re currently in the USA…or is it Ecuador or Brazil?
Was this done somehow outside “the financial services industry?”
Yes.

Ok, Procon, I’ll talk with you. Right now, though, I’m pretty tired because I had a very busy work day. I will respond when I can, but probably not tonight. Right now I’m just gonna plop my aching body on the sofa and zone out watching tv for awhile, but sometime in the near future I’ll get back to you.
Who is going to protect girls in our schools?”
I should have read this post more closely. You posed a question about deployments to countries where according to unnamed “studies” and “surveys”, schoolgirls were being sexually harassed. Show me the post where I advocate that we deploy the military in an effort to stop excessive horniness on an international level. We’re talking about religious zealots using rape and mutilation as terror tactics. You appear to be quite comfortable with these practices. And it speaks volumes about you and your real intentions.
All this good news really putting a harsh on the doomer buzz.
=============
Harsh or hush?
FACT: The federal government has gotten smaller under only three presidents in the post-war era, and all are Democrats
===========
You have said innumerable times that you favor BIG GOVT, now you imply the Democrats who have presided over the shrinkage of govt are the good guys. Whus up wit dat?
We’re talking about religious zealots using rape and mutilation as terror tactics.
Yes, we are. And the USA military is not winning the war for the hearts and minds of Afghanistan after ten years. What’s your point?
Let’s see how deluded you really are. What do you think goes through the mind of a poor Afghan villager who has had some kind of protection from the US military when they ponder the prospect of that protection suddenly leaving. How long do you think that vacuum would last?
What do you think goes through the mind of a poor American taxpayer at the prospect of paying TRILLIONS of dollars more to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely?
The same thing that’s going to go through their minds when they have to pay $12.00 a gallon for gasoline…..strategically important.
You drunk the koolaid and swallowed the Bush propaganda hook line and sinker. Strategically important for whom?
Last I checked the USA Constitution had some jurisdiction over Little Rock, Arkansas. We are illegally occupying Afghanistan.
=============
Have you forgotten, you don’t believe in borders? If borders are figments of our imagination isn’t the concept of jurisdiction a figment too?
“I guess you forgot that you’ve bragged several times that you are making 12.5% (I think that was the figure) on your money. Was this done somehow outside “the financial services industry?””
-k/q, to a..”
K, a.. has been teasing that 12.5% for months now.
I would ignore it. I’m sure it’s some 2nd or 3rd derivative of his alleged Social Security contributions – now paying off because of his allegiance to “big government.”
Little known fact:
When I was 20, and in college, my dad retired and started drawing social security at 62. Low and behold, I discovered myself eligible for my OWN social security checks. $225/month, was the princely sum. I remember the number quite well, because it kept me in college for two summers when I would have otherwise been out trying to find work.
I wonder if they’ve closed that particular loophole that I benefited from in 1976/77? $225 should inflation-adjust to about $1000/month or more, in today’s dollars.
Hey Lt. Col. Douchebaggie,
That’s the funny thing about occupying oil countries. You can’t just blow ’em fuck up. They stop being useful right at that moment. So I guess you better be ready for ground forces. ‘Course you know all this you Wiki expert, you.
Have you forgotten, you don’t believe in borders?
No, I haven’t forgotten. But you all still do believe in them. Some day there will be no more borders. Today they are still enforced.
You drunk the koolaid
============
drunk is a non-standard past tense of drink. The correct/preferred past tense of drink is drank.
So I guess you better be ready for ground forces.
They are a useless waste of money and will one day leave.
You mean it shouldn’t be “you done drunk the koolaid, you deluded idiot”

X, couple of things.
I had my wife do a poll of her girlfriends on Faceplant.* “Would you rather be raped by a US Marine, or by a Muslim religious zealot,” was the question.
The religious zealot got ZERO votes, mostly because of concerns about his body odor, and potential vaginal tearing.
The US Marine won – hands down!
Providing he buys them a nice dinner and a couple of drinks first – and then engages in an appropriate amount of foreplay.
Keep probing around on asoka.’s sexual practices.
He’s got some issues. But he won’t admit to them.
*innapropriate JOKE alert ON, then OFF.
Rape is not funny, P2C, under any circumstance.
That’s right! Sometimes it’s a holey,
I mean holy act.
If you were being raped up the ass by a group of Taliban holding you down, would you consider it a “holy act”?
Rape is not funny or holy under any circumstance. And the US Marines are not the solution to lessening sexual assault in the general population of any country.
You are a prude, under all circumstances.
You have no concept of sexual fantasy, or of sexual roll playing.

** Stop providing military support to those supporting repression of women in Afghanistan, like Karzai.
In March 2012, President Karzai defended a statement by the Ulema Council (council of religious scholars) which calls for restrictions on women’s freedoms, including in the workplace and schools and while traveling.
** Ensure that human rights including women’s rights to security, political participation and justice, are not traded away or compromised with the transition of security responsibility to the ANSF, and through reconciliation talks with Taleban elements.
** Establish a joint-protection taskforce for women human rights defenders, within the Afghan Ministry of Women’s Affairs, to monitor intimidation and attacks against them, and to coordinate effective responses among all government agencies.
** Continue to increase the proportion of women playing an active role in the ANSF, in particular the Afghan National Police force, ensuring their safety and dignity in their own workplace.
By supporting Karzai, the USA is supporting the persecution of girls and women in Afghanistan.
“Why are there race issues coming up every week here?”
I find this all over at sites questioning the role of money and the status quo, or emphasizing relocalization.
There’s an Italian writer, Massimo Fini, who wrote a great book about money, sort a cross between JKGalbraith and Graeber. He’s been pegged by the Storm Front people as a fellow traveler, though I’m not sure he’s aware of that.
For xenophobes and racists, “relocalization” is a dog-whistle.
For anti-Semites, a call to break up the banks or re-organize the money system equals ripping it from the hands of the Elders of Zion.
I wonder how we can relocalize and get out from under a corrupt financial system without having these racist nuts climbing in bed with us.

hi ozone, re. your comment, I’d just like to say: BINGO!
“German 2-year debt (bund) has dipped below 0% this morning at auction, signalling an acceleration in the bank run taking place in southern Europe. Depositors in Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, etc would rather take a loss on their investment, then risk not their money back at all. The European Central Bank (ECB) does not guarantee deposits, so people are withdrawing their money en masse and getting out of Dodge pronto. What we’re seeing is a real-time panic.”
Don’t that sound like a hot time in the ol’ [Euro-zone] town tonight? Coming soon to a fake economy near you.

As Senor Kunstler avers, the shoes are dropping faster and more furiously with each passing week.
Further, from Mikey-likes-the-growth-only:
“That’s right, the EU banks were gifted over 1 trillion euros 3 months ago, and they’re still too undercapitalized to weather the storm of a Greek default. Nice, eh? So, the whole system is just an empty gourd, right? They’re broke, so the ECB will have to print up another 800 bil just to keep the house of cards from collapsing in a heap.
Getting worried yet?
US Treasuries are also rallying big today. In fact, the yield on the 10-year –which hit a record low last week–is on its way back down indicating that investors are freaking scared-out-of-their-minds. In real terms, investors are now socking money into 10-year Treasuries knowing that (inflation adjusted) they’ll get LESS money back then they put in.”
Now for the $65,000 question…
How may of the CFN are hearing about this in their regular dosage of “news-media-speak”?

Can’t say I understand the debt markets that well, but I have to trust that over the last 30yrs US debt has been a good investment from a trading perspective.

Soak do you really want to change Afghan and Muslim Culture from the ground up? Because that’s what it would take. But of course that would be to admit that they are inferior to the West – which doesn’t compute with you. Enjoy your cognitive dissonance – As Seun Sahn said, “Only be confused”. You don’t have to mix it with fear and anger towards self and other. If you can embrace your confusion fully, it may resolve itself into clarity.
But that would mean seeing that we were right and you were wrong – and that is unbearable to you. It is the very essence of Unenlightenment or Avidya, Ignorance.

The use of “done drunk” is fine if by using Black vernacular you want to perpetuate the appearance of ignorance and deliberately continue NOT to assimilate into the majority culture for another 400 years (or forever) while the first and second generation Americans of most other immigrant groups become indistinguishable languagewise in short order and economically surpass Blacks with ease.
So, yeah, keep saying done drunk and encourage the Black little ones to speak ebonics too.

Prog, we brought a spiritual criminal to justice, but now you want to make up with him. I have no doubt you will throw me under the bus to do so. In the old West, citizens were terrorize by criminals. So they brought in fast draw sheriffs and hanging judges. And once they solved the problem, the citizens got rid of them as fast as possible.

Vlad, since you mentioned Erica Jong and Avidya (you are probably one of the few whites on CFN who even has an appreciation of Avidya), here is a recent writing by Erica Jong that applies and is relevant to CFN:
Most of our world is invisible to us: the swirls of plastic floating in the ocean, the fault lines in our earth ready to shift, earthquakes about to happen, poisonous air and water choking our lungs, and over-population promising suffocation everywhere. We have sealed our eyes against these things. We are willfully blind.
But we can choose to see the invisible. The most amazing quality of human beings is the ability to probe the invisible. Leonardo da Vinci was the epic poet of invisibility. In his notebooks, he revealed what was invisible to most people. Physicists play with the invisible, trying to make us see. Every artist is at war with the invisible even as she succumbs to it. Every maker of music knows that the finest notes are inaudible to human ear, invisible to the human eye. We battle the invisible with light sabers as if we were Jedi knights. The invisible is our inspiration. The invisible is what we seek.

Women are quite capable of lying about rape – sometimes for insanely trivial reasons like being late and not wanting to get in trouble. So accuse the cabby. I shit you not.

ozone, it reminds me The Masque of The Red Death, too. I think you hit the nail on the head there. I have been thinking of that connection, off and on, for a long time. My grampa went to college with Vincent Price, who brought so many Poe stories to the silver screen. I bet VP could have made a really spooky version of that particular story, tailored for our times.
It also makes me think of this very creepy scene, from an old PBS film based on the Ursula K. Leguin story The Lathe of Heaven. The idea is that a man named George Orr has dreams, and his dreams change the real world retroactively. In other words, when he wakes up, the world has always been as he dreamt it, as far as anyone else knows. But he knows the truth, and his psychiatrist comes to know the truth as well, and chooses to use George’s dreams to do large-scale social and environmental experimental engineering. In this scene, he has just hypnotized George, and told him to dream up a solution to overpopulation. This scene, of the people obliviously feasting away, and what happens to them, is similar to what we see all around us, as the dreams and lies upon which our world is built pass away and evaporate into smoke, like the poor people at the table, all around us. The part of the video I’m talking about is less than two minutes long, but you could keep watching if you want the whole story. It’s incredibly spooky, so be cautious here, you might have nightmares.

Was reading about Julian the Apostate, the last Pagan Emperor of Rome.
“It is a fact that in the last Roman persecution of Christians as well as in the first, the Jews proved themselved in various ways as the most eager and most malevolent agents for the execution of the open or concealed plans of the Roman Emperors against the Christians. St Ambrose has attested that the Jews under Julian set fire to a large number of Christian churches in Damascus, Alexandria, Gaza, Ascalon, Beirut, and other cities”.

In other words, you know that the Jews are in control of the Banks, but you can’t stand that we were right about it for generations and you people are only just finding out.
And what are the implications of that as far as WW2 is concerned? How do you possibly get thru all this without ever admitting you were so wrong and we were so right?
Face it: Western Civilization went wrong, crazy wrong to the point of madness. No sane people would allow an alien and hostile people to control their fiancial system. Ezra Pound describes how the Jews weren’t persecuted but neutralized in old Byzantium: forbidden to work in education or finance. Nada, Zip. They do fine in the professions as you know.

I can’t imagine dealing with the morbidly obese on a regular basis. I saw something ONCE with a woman in an apartment building I once lived that I can barely describe. But I’m going to try anyway. She was incredibly huge. I’m pretty sure they said over 750 lbs. She died in her sleep and the only way the responders had to get her body out of her bedroom was cut a hole in the side of the building. But then there was no hard surface for the gurney(?). Didn’t matter anyway. The gurney they had didn’t support her weight. So, they managed to manhandle this blob of a corpse out onto the grass. Now here’s the innovative part. They dispatched a nearby automobile recovery vehicle. Apparently, there was growing concern among those in charge at the scene that this situation had rapidly become uncool and was attracting too much of an audience. The faster they could get it done, the better. The recovery truck arrived and after placing the deceased on several sturdy tarps, attached the winch and reeled her in across the courtyard with all available apartment dwellers watching in stunned disbelief. After much huffing and puffing, four of them got the body onto the back of this flatbed truck. They quickly covered her with some dirty tarps and drove away. Needless to say, her daughter had reached a stage of hysteria I had never seen before.
xhalor, did you ever see the early Johnny Depp film “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” It’s a great movie about small town problems in general, and it suggests an innovative solution to the problem you describe.

Europe ?
Why doesn’t the USA and the Federal Reserve just get it over with ? Why don’t they just print a few trillion dollars, give it to Greece (and to the other “Failed States” of Europe Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc.) and just absorb the entire continent as a new USA state, maybe call it NEW TEXAS or EAST NEW JERSEY or something like that and cut all the BS and crap ? We all know that there is nothing behind all the debts and economic laws and rules, just power plays, just make believe interdictions and crap, just a make believe cartoon world of economics that doesn’t make any sense and is mostly insane.
Just get it over with and give them the CASH BABY, CASH, they will be alright, they will understand that it doesn’t matter, that they are all insignificant turds on the Worldwide Economic Radar thanks to the Technological Economy generating Free Wealth and Excess Capacity by the boatloads.
And what is wrong with Europe anyways ? Why can’t they be ONE UNIT, ONE POWER, ONE FEDERAL STATE, ONE POLITICAL STATE with “Liberty and Justice For All” according to the only model that can work, and namely the USA model ? With one Language (American English, the Neutral Type, the Standard International English that everyone understands because all the local, baroque crap of the UK is done away with once and for all) ?
How many European countries do not have the EURO ? Oh, just the richest, bar none, (the hogs, the ones that should be giving their cash to puny Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy, but they are too egotistical and greedy to give the cash out for free, the craps, they should be forced by a higher power (the only Real Boss: the USA) to pay for the mistakes of the weaker clowns, bar none) : those that don’t have the EURO as a currency are the UK, SWEDEN, NORWAY (which has 400 billion dollars stashed away thanks to their oil sales), SWITZERLAND (other billions of dollars stashed away since they are the worldwide bank, and clean money from thieves and such) DENMARK and some others. Aside from the fact that you can’t even pinpoint down where Europe starts or ends and who is part of it (is Serbia part of it ? Ukraine ?, Romania ?) who knows and who can keep track !
They all have their puny local language and “culture” and “history”, they have their “Identity” and such. Are they crazy or what ? Kill all local identites, one Nation, one Force, that is the model, they all have these petty little fights between themselves, they are all such special little turds, Spain is divided in various factions, Ireland against the UK and so on forever. Their history and identity and such is “so important”, what idiots, what clowns!
Well who cares about their identity, throw it all down the toilet, the world is now a fight amongst Gigantic Economical and Technological Blocks of Power, China, the USA, India, Russia and so on, all these little identities have no room and no business surviving anymore, they must all be forced to be part of a MONOLITHIC BLOCK OF POWER FIGHTING AGAINST THE OTHER BLOCKS, we are not going to care about history anymore, now it is all about HUGE ECONOMIES OF SCALE, THE TECHNOLOGICAL ECONOMY AUTOMATING ALL PRODUCTIVE ENDEAVORS, THE DEATH OF WORK AND LABOR ONCE AND FOR ALL, TRILLIONS OF ROCKETS TO MARS, TRILLIONS OF SKYSCRAPERS, TRILLIONS OF NEW BRAIN DESIGNS, THE COLONIZATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THE FUTURE, no more history or local fairy tales and baroque identities, Europe must be one Federal State, including all of them from Norway to Albania to Ukraine to BieloRussia to Poland to Romania etc. One Monolithic Unit, and if they can’t do it on their own then they should just become a State of the USA (or of China or Russia, let them decide to which BOSS they must abide, puny fairy tale craps always fighting and being greedy and not helping their weaker clown states: what they did to Greece would never have happened in the USA, go figure)…

Germany has the Euro and is considered by some to be rich…
But then Germany has a strong union movement to protect workers. Trade unions have a long history in Germany, reaching back to the German revolution in 1848, and still play an important role in German economy and society.
No wonder Germany is doing well economically.

As an example, whenever I watch reruns of Three’s Company I’m always the mot attracted to Janet. Not that she doesn’t have a cute little body too. 😉
A silly little example but true.
…*most attracted to Janet.
Also, that S/M book is popular just because there are a lot of twisted people out there, women included.
Have no fear, I don’t want your company in any new nation that may come.
I’m a defensive racist. I have to be these days. People like you are as much to blame for the unpleasant things I have to feel as anybody else. So, find a new place for yourself, I’m not going anywhere. Because as a horrid white man with so much privilege I haven’t had one opportunity to use it.
It’s my turn.
Huh…a horrid white man with privileges he’s just DYIN’ to use.
Wow. That’s NEVER happened before.
I’d modify that to read, “stupid, unethical, and woman with personality disorders” lie about rape.
As for erotic literature, I’ve never heard of “Shades of Grey.” Guess I’m old-fashioned, but “Fanny Hill” works for me.
Is this all you do all day, keep watch here?
Good thing, huh?
“Dyin’ to use”
I’ll take the advantages that I can and run with them.
Hey! Dr. Doom, et al.
You know, the “doomers” who were all here back in 2008-2009, when this blog was something other than a political and race based shouting match, you still out there?
Dr. Doom, you were the expert, right? Peak Oil NOW, (or then) $250 dollar a barrel oil by NOW (mid-2012) The rest of you who couldn’t kiss his ass enough, because he was a degreed professor.
Me, told you predictions such as that are only made by those who don’t understand economic complexities and the limitations of human metal capabilities. No axe to grind, just spent too much time reading predictions by experts that didn’t add up to squat.
Who’s right now? Yeah….I know…..if you’re still out there, you either won’t admit it or “can’t remember”, same old shit.
Asoka, Vlad–
You both should read Franklin Merrel-Wolff. Free website from his foundation. Pretty good insights and realizations. Proves you don’t have to be a Buddhist to get a piece of enlightenment. Dzogchen view, largely without “pointing out instructions”.
Thank you, Dale. I’ll check it out. Namaste.
STOP NANCY PELOSI!
Pelosi sent to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday urging him to schedule a vote to extend the “middle class” Bush-era tax cuts for people who make below $1 million annually.
In contrast, President Barack Obama supports extending tax cuts for people who earn less than $250,000 per year, while Republicans simply want to extend all of the cuts, even for millionaires. The cuts are set to expire at the end of the year.
“Pelosi has an interesting definition of what constitutes the middle class. She believes it includes people earning anything less than $1 million a year — at least when it comes to tax cuts,” reads a Washington Post editorial.
By raising the middle class threshold from $250,000 to $1 million, about 43 percent of federal revenue will be lost in 2013.
“Adm Ern bleated:
“Where’s the inflation?””
Bwahahaha!!! *Where*, indeed?!? Someone’s apparently got the tin foil cap wrapped too tight…
So where’s MM’s B-day celebration? Brazil?!? Texas border? NC? (my @$$) Hope they have enough papaya/mango…
Rewriting history? Well at least we still have someone reminding us of the fukushima disaster, and what awaits us over the next few years. A decade ago I did some research on Lake Techa (river runoff from the USSR’s plutonium refinery), and at that time there were thousands of pictures available of children born in that runoff. We’re talking crazy mutants – 4x head sizes, cyclops, no mouth/nose, etc. Now, you can barely find a picture of any of those casualties.
*WHY IS THAT*?!? Soker-puppets, provide us those *GOOGLE* links (seeing as how GOOGLE didn’t go IPO, until well after they shut down YAHOO search).
Woman why didst thou eat of the apple of iniquity? And then thou didst give it to thy brother so he could share thy fate.
Morality for women is usally what is good for them. That’s why Buddha didn’t want them in the Sangha. Ananada, the beloved disciple, prevailed upon him to reconsider and he finally relented. But he said the order would now only last half as long I believe.
But he did admit they’re were exceptions. But you try to claim them as the norm. That weakens your claim to being one of the exceptions you see. Good women should be anti-feminists and firmly support Men against Feminists.
Yes, the Sage of Lone Pine. It changed my life decades ago. What do you think of the two fold egolessness or “The High Indifference” which is beyond Nirvana as uuually described. He claimed he found corroboration of his experience in a few of the Mahayana Sutras.
Hypergamy is a constant just as good looks are for us. They are sex objects for us and we are sucess objects for them. But we want good character for marriage. Do they, as much anyway? They want to get married but often not be married. They file divorce 70% of the time. So their much vaunted monogamy is of the serial variety. Trading up. And hell hath no fury like a woman who is trying to “find herself” or “move on”. They can’t stand having to share the children with their ex’s. And they will take every penny they can even if the ex is driven into poverty or prison.
Victorian Porn, eh? Quim and Quinny and members virile!
As far as MSM news goes, I’ve tried tuning into most available broadcasts, to see if any were tolerable. Leaving BBC out for now, about the only show I can tolerate is Dylan Ratigan. And let me tell you, he does have his faults WRT my bias: his believe in eternal, exponential growth (perhaps necessary to be on MSNBC); his new vegan diet!!!
LOL, did we not just go through the ills of a vegan diet – yet he now hops on that bandwagon. MSM is *hopeless*…
BBC? same propaganda from a different perspective (owned by the same banks/corporatists?)…

Wow, Vlad, even I think people can escape their genes and evolution to a degree. We aren’t quite locked in; so that applies to women and their sexual behavior.
I hate cynicism and absolutes.
Some day there will be no more borders.

Yes, when hell freezes over.
You’re saying that like it’s a bad thing, Vlad…
Then why didn’t her daughter have this fat pig’s jaws wired shut? I read another story where one of these psychos had been laying in bed for so long that a few coins had become embedded into her blubber that she had been laying on. What lucky bastard had to snake the toilet everytime these pigs took a shit? Talk about fucking gross…
Sice we all seem to *LOVE* midnight oil here, I propose the following:

Natural gas was reaching a steep and sudden decline at the time The Long Emergency and Richard Heinberg’s “The Party’s Over” were written. We nearly had a disaster in 2003 when the cost of heating our homes skyrocketed. So where is the new “abundance” of natural gas coming from and how long will it last, especially if we try to convert from diesel and gasoline to natural gas? From what I have read, that would fizzle out in no time and leave us no way to heat our homes, other than dirty coal or wood. Either would take a long time to convert to, and given how despicable people in the US (and the rest of the world, as well) if americans don’t have the money and some cocksucker cannot profit from people’s adversity, then they will likelky be left to go without, not unlike healthcare, drinking water, or anything else essential to life. Thank Buddha they can’t profit from the air we breathe. They have done a great job of destroying the quality of tghe air we breathe, but they haven’t (yet) found a way to charge us money for it. Forget the sprawling sububia being (temporarily) saved by converting to natural gas. It would take decades and would fail and create more problems than it would attempt to solve
Sometimes if the IQ is sufficient and they want to be good. But how many just prefer to get all they can get? I’ve known few women who will willingly deny themselves anything. And such denial or self sacrafice is the foundation of morality.
More like George II porn.
That kind of fat would keep you warm and alive thru a glacial winter. But under the present conditions – roll them down hills! A new sport just as much fun as dwarf tossing.
How would you reply if someone asked you what’s your sign and do you sleep in the nude?
If Breitbart was correct, he is not a natural citizen so he is not the first president or any other kind of president at all. Impeach.
The call to prayer is very beautiful in fact. Not even Islam is all bad, just mostly.
Went to Portland, Oregon over the weekend on the Greyhound. Went along the Columbia River Gorge. Magnificient. And you can watch the flora change from dry to green before your very eyes as you travel west. It really starts to changes around The Dalles. And by the time you get to the town of Hood River it’s pretty lush. In one of the brochures it said that in this area the rainfall increases one inch per mile as you go west. That’s the effect the Cascades have on the weather. Alot of wineries in the eastern area because of the 300 days of sunlight per year.
HOW ROMNEY RUNS HIS PRIVATE EQUITY SCAMS
(I MEAN “LEVERAGED BUYOUTS) LIKE THE MAFIA
Private equity investors buy control of the company’s board by purchasing the firm’s stock. But for both private equity firms and the mafia, investors use their control of the firm to take on more debt, while at the same time cutting costs by laying off workers.
Cash from the loans and cost savings are funneled back to the investors. This looting continues until the company can’t pay its debts. When it finally collapses, the company files for bankruptcy to extinguish the debt — but private equity investors, as well as mobsters, get to keep the gains they’ve already reaped.
Mark Galeotti, one of the leading experts in transnational organized crime, said it’s a familiar tactic above ground and below it. “It’s one of the classic tactics of organized crime,” Galeotti, a New York University professor, told HuffPost. “You exploit it as far as you can and when you have essentially squeezed every possible bit of value out of it, you burn it. In organized crime’s case, I mean that literally, whereas with private equity, it’s planned bankruptcy. But essentially you dispose of it in as convenient a way as possible, and then you walk away.”
Imagine skating on frozen flames. Asoka would be in the lead, his abundant sweat providing a sheen of lubricating speed. All Blacks are afraid of the devil you know.
What I am really worried about is being thrown into hell’s lakes of fires. You have told me Blacks can’t swim.
WOW, that is incredible! But we Americans must not worry about that! We must worry about evolution, gay adults wanting to get married,Harry Potter, Halloween,Socialism, Vegetarians, pagans,science, fluroide, reason, logic, thinking, and asking questions are much more danergous than the billions that the new mob has stolen. OH wait I forgot Jewish bankers, Muslim taxi drivers who sing Italian operas, like the Barber of Seville,anyone that does not look, think, and eat like me. I am calling Fox News to report this site. Do not forget about time traveling Dinosaurs spreading their message about Mexican tacos.
Well, Michigan, I can only quote a FACT … natgas prices ($2.70) have actually breeched prices from January … of 1997!!! If you want a more “fair” May-to-May comparison, current natgas is cheaper than year 2000.
So, all philosophizing aside, the prices of the stuff would appear to indicate that the abundance is coming from SOMEWHERE. You can’t blame shorts for the current price suppression since the Commercial Hedgers (a.k.a. “smart” money) are net long natgas. Thus, the 12-year-low price would appear to indicate a supply glut for all of your speculating about what happened in 2003.
Now, I will concede that this glut could disappear faster than snow in Miami if re-routed to other uses but I reiterate my query … WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? Also, recall that my post did not call for converting the entire US energy infrastructure to natgas but rather the interstate trucking fleet. Truckers need a break and they need it NOW.
In a resource-short world, EVERYTHING is a stopgap and I would claim that switching the trucking fleet to natgas isn’t some sop to keeping suburbia alive indefinitely. It’s keeping truckers from QUITTING which, if done en masse, would cause grocery stores to have massive and mysterious shortages of many foodstuffs.
I hate suburbia. I hate its soullessness. Nonetheless, I’m in favor of keeping the people who live there from starving even if it’s only for an extra five or ten years to keep civil disorder from occurring.

“…[the current “dancing”] reminds me The Masque of The Red Death, too. I think you hit the nail on the head there. I have been thinking of that connection, off and on, for a long time. My grampa went to college with Vincent Price, who brought so many Poe stories to the silver screen. I bet VP could have made a really spooky version of that particular story, tailored for our times.”
I find you’re thinking of the same story in regard to extend-and-pretend pretty interesting in and of itself! ;o)
Big V.P. fan here too. I wonder if it has any connection with the vivid dreams I’ve always had in cinematic color. ….Nah, I’m just loopy.
I’d heard of the “Lathe of Heaven”, but have never had the privilege of reading it. (Thanks for the link, I’ll settle for a viewing for now.)
The secret to getting wealthy is to make others work hard for you. If your employer paid you the full value of what your labor produced, then there would be no profits for them. “But they take the risks”, the apologists like to blab. I would agree, they take the risks of getting their throats cut, as some of the more arrogant ones abuse this system of wage slavery by firing people for not being politically correct, for not liking what they post on face book (which is none of their fuckin busniess to begin with), making people take drug tests because they have somehow have been given the right to police your behavior in the privacy of your home (again, the apologists who should have their tongues cut out of their heads like to blab about “public safety” and have no shortage of useful idiots who will march lockstep, meek and obedient to the neocon slaughter house and chime “yep, it’s for our pown good”.
Some of the good things to come out of this collapse of this bubble economy based on the myth of exponential growth is that employers and the wealthy are finally getting a long overdue dose of humility, as their businesses fail and they lose that McMansion and their investments. Now get down here and row with the rest of us slaves, you worthless cock suckers. Many people who think they are wealthy because they have these pieces of paper with numbers and symbols on them that tell them they are rich, but with a dollar collapse inevitable, they too will have to come down from first class quarters where they smoke cigars, drink brandy, and pretend to be masters of the universe by exploiting the labor of others and row with the rest of the slaves. Seeing there are few if any jobs to be found, these drug testing assholes who opened up shop and bragged about being open 24/7 to violate your privacy are losing their asses and closing down left and right. Good good good. Many of the effects of collapse are hellishly pleasing to me. Now if only we can obtain some justice from these maggots when they got too big for their bridges and fell off their high horses. A few thousand hard kicks to the face would be a good start as a prelude to a public bullwhipping as their assets are seized and liquidated and given to the people they have screwed or the many others who had their lives destroyed by these arrogant pigs and cock suckers
Yikes!
And, RT, get busy with those memoirs, although I’m sure there are a lot of incidents you’d much rather forget. Congrats on makin’ it through! (It’s the only way “out”, as we know. ;o)
(Thanks for the respect for Uncle Crash; very appreciated. Honor Guard of fellow firefighters was a fine memorial.)
Dale,
You are absolutely correct, and the pitiful rest of us are naught but misguided fools, wandering in the wilderness of flailing delusion.
Now where do I get my pile of cheap, unlimited goodies as a reward for my genuflection to your superior perspicacity? (The ones approved of, and mandated by gawd, of course.)
E- i think i get the sentiment; but it would take at least 5 yerars for the conversion, don t you think? maybe not in the physical implementation, but considering the politics of it, could a consensus be reached & decided, then acted upon? i dunno, it sure seems to me that We, The People are headed for about a dollar an hour- if we re lucky…

Thanks a pantload! Now I’ve got even MORE things to worry about that I didn’t know were worrisome!

Again, americans sit back and take this, getting their noses rubbed in neocon shit time and time again. The unions are too greedy. Outsourcing our manufacturing base is a good idea. And when the whole house of cards collapses when cheap and abundant energy evaporate along with the value of the US petro dollar, the inevitable attempt to impose martial law. Obama or Romney (what’s the difference) will hit the internet kill switch, jam and shut down cell phones, hoard leaders of dissent who have any kind of public following into Halliburton “FEMA” camps, and unleash the “forces of law and order” with their 12,700 armored vehicles and 450,000 rounds of hollow points and probably with the full might of the military to keep people meek and obedient and make sure the banks get their pound of flesh and force various people and states that will soon realize they would be better off detached from an out of control federal government run and controlled by special interests and addicted to debt along with their lackeys at the IRS and “federal reserve” (mind you, there is nothing federal about them and they sure as fuck don’t have any reserves). The useful idiots that think Wal Marts and other greedy, predatory corporate monsters were good, along with smashing the unions and outsourcing our manufacturing base and this whole fucked up notion that your employer is God and this sadistic ideology “you can’t pay, so you go without” will roll over and play dead when the government imposes martial law on a post collapse america. They will still suck ass and lick boots. That is the difference between americans and other people in the world. Most other governments around the world fear the people. In the US, people fear the government. Uncle Joe will pale in comparison with Uncle Sam before all is said and done.
Wow-ee!
little laddie lederhosen has been a busy, busy boy.

Well, I’m seeing a lot more waking up going on, but only a few taking steps to prepare.
We’ll have to see how much longer they can keep the dance music blaring. Til the end of “forever”?
Perhaps Dale will tell us what will go down (and what “investment vehicles” to buy into).
I can appreciate your anger over the wholesale destruction of the middle class in order to allow plutocrats to sell off the remaining good jobs to Asia. A well-informed middle class, with worthy jobs, is the biggest enemy to an incipient dictatorship but that’s exactly what the problem is … silently, most of the middle class is disappearing and the huge increase in economic desperation means people are too busy trying to SURVIVE to engage in “activism”.
Even here in upscale Palo Alto, I personally know many people whose economic lives in the past decade have been “downwardly mobile”. However, unions might be part of the problem instead of part of the solution, especially state-level unions. They’re allowing bureaucrats to thrive while the rank-and-file employees get screwed. California is a good example of that. Useless-as-teats-on-a-boar upper administrations in schools are immune from layoff as teachers get laid off.
I hear rumors that the State of California is thinking about making bigger districts and laying off most of the upper administrators. If this happens, it’ll be the first signs of sanity out here. Let’s hope.

You are an envious demon. You hate Dale because he has a spiritual life and he’s not just a Marxits/Anarchist like you dreaming about Unions and Factories. He is a Marxist but not just a Marxist, thus your hatred.
Now look at yesterday: all day long I tried to talk about deep shit and all people wanted to talk about was whores, Erica Jong, or play Prisoner Games. I know I’m brilliant, but people shouldn’t let themselves be eclipsed by it. Light needs darkness to have something to illuminate. Your darkness is self conscious and in rebellion and resists this. Thus it reaches the level of Evil.
Yes, the petty evil of American Management is beyond belief. They hate anyone who has a life. All life must be subordinated to work – the lights are literally kept on by human life energy. And the interview process: where do you see yourself in 5 years? Uh, lifting boxes right here sir. What were you doing during this six month gap in your resume? Uh, hating myself for not working.
And this is called Freedom? So the People cling desperately to their two days off and seek solace and forgetfulness in the Games. And the Elite are free to work their evil while we sleep.
Pretty good rant Michigan Native – and one very long sentence!
So it boils down to the American people, huh? Well that doesn’t exactly leave one feeling hopeful. Take some of the characters here on CFN for example. You have Bustin J passionately pleading for the environment (“Nature” when his prose leans towards the romantic) and denouncing the reliance of an entire culture on the automobile. He then makes a post endorsing Mitt Romney for president which followed his call for a bombing campaign against Iran. Perhaps there is a religious affiliation lurking behind the curtain that trumps ideological consistency.
And then there’s Vlad. A lower middle class white racist crossing his fingers with the hopes that Obamacare will be struck down. Evidently, unaffordable health care premiums and exclusionary pre-existing condition clauses makes for a more just and moral nation. Along with just capping payouts altogether.
Regrettably, “Obamacare’ will be decided by the SCOTUS or that same bunch who more or less declared ‘corporations as people’. And yet people like you keep on insisting that there is no ‘difference between Obama and Romney’ as if an Obama court is the ideological equivalent of a Bush/Reagan court. And that’s the type of imprecise, sloppy thinking that is indicative of a people in the throngs of a cluster fuck – even those who claim to see aspects of the bigger picture.
Regrettably, “Obamacare’ will be decided by the SCOTUS
If the Romney-Massachusetts-Republican plan of “private heatlh insurance exchanges” (also called Obamacare) is voted down, would that not open the door to a public option like “Medicare for all”?
Forever’s gonna start tonite!
The Founding Fathers were as one (except for Hamilton) in saying that Goverment tends towards tyranny – and thus should be kept small with a division of powers. Can you disagree with this? No? Then why turn one sixth of the Economy over to the Feds if you care about Freedom?
Doesn’t it have a kind apropo-ness just the way it is? What are britches anyway? I mean we know what bitches are…

In lieu of the destruction of the middle class and democracy today David Ignatius on Morning Joe was discussing this idea as it pertains to China and it’s economy and upward mobility issues.
Interestingly enough Ignatius said that it took 800 years for western civilization to develop the realization that a strong middle class leads to a democratic system of governance.
One has to wonder why he doesn’t passionately bring that out when discussing at our own predicament with the extreme disparities of wealth and political power.
–or are they pretending that it’s not happening here?
CORRECTION
Affectionately,
Mrs. Soake
Thanks, I’ll remember that!
‘And then there’s Vlad. A lower middle class white ‘
Better Low Class than No Class, which is you.
Under President Obama, government spending has grown at its slowest rate since the Eisenhower Administration.
In fact, adjusting for inflation, Obama has actually cut spending by 0.1 percent, according to a Politifact analysis.
Sorry if facts are disturbing your preconceptions.

I’ve seen that viewpoint expressed but I’m not buying it. As long as the GOP retains legislative influence, exploitative insurance practices will be protected and even encouraged. The unfortunate American who loses his job and eventually his health insurance and who also happens to become sick will risk losing his home due to the GOP enacted bankruptcy laws.
This dynamic will be allowed to continue because GOP mouthpieces such as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh will utter the evil word “Socialism” sending the likes of Vlad and his ilk mindlessly scurrying to their right-wing hornet’s nest in order to do the bidding of the insurance industry, and by extension, corrupt politicians receiving kickbacks.
Of course, one day these blind foot soldiers of the Right Wing will be sacrificed by the very insurance companies and politicians they now fight to protect. But that’s the price people with no foresight pay for being stupid.
You’re just ticked because I called you a moron for posting your public Facebook page here on CFN.
I mean really, you incessantly scour the internet for anti-Semitic articles to post along with every other group of people you harbor racist sentiment towards and you then post your Facebook page on the very same message board?
You, Sir, are a complete and total fucking idiot.
And the interview process: where do you see yourself in 5 years? Uh, lifting boxes right here sir. What were you doing during this six month gap in your resume? Uh, hating myself for not working.

Your responses to the interviewer gave me a gallows humor chuckle.
Here are other possible responses:
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
A: Dead of starvation if I don’t land this job.
Q: What were you doing during this six month gap in your resume?
A: Researching painless ways of commiting suicide.
Obama has actually cut spending by 0.1 percent
============
Yeah, but what about the war crimes you think he should be tried for?
Don’t panic. The End is coming, coming, and then it will be over and in the past. We will be alive or dead. And dead, we will either be alive or non existent. What is so bad about any of this? As Lincoln said, nothing is good or bad except that thinking makes it so.
Most people don’t agree with me about our Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
Vladdie want a fascist dictatorship?
Also known as Culottes in France. Thus the working class revolutionaries were called Sans Culottes.
Yes please. It depends on who – obviously not Obama.
Obama is Republican-lite caving in to Republicans at every turn.
So you admit you are a Socialist? Because that is what the Democratic Party has turned into. Do you really want to be part of that crap? Why?
The Democratic Party is Socialist, Vlad? Socialism is when the government takes care of everything and promotes social justice. Liberals, Democrats, and mommies are seen as supporting the principles of fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others.
But Conservatives see something more sinister. As in the novel 1984, where George Orwell introduced the world to the idea of government as Big Brother, Conservatives see an intrusive presence constantly scrutinizing the people’s actions.
Conservatives worry about the insidious effects of Big Mommy government. My mother is among them. She tells me she will never go along with using seat belts because Big Mommy government makes wearing seat belts a law.
My brothers feel the same about putting on a helmet when cruising around the block on a bike or motorcycle. They resent their “freedom” to ride with a helmet being taken away by big Mommy government.
Conservatives also feel every time the government levies some “sin tax” on goods, they are putting themselves in the role of Big Mommy instructing what we, the children, may or may not do.
Conservatives say they don’t need Big Mommy to intrude in every aspect of their life and tell them what to do.
The irony is Conservatives tend to be big supporters of the military. And the military is the biggest Mommy of them all. No other federal government program uses taxpayer dollars to provide so much “Mommy care”
No other government-run program does the food shopping, prepares meals, buys the clothes and picks out what clothes to wear, and no other government-run program determines when to go to bed and when to get up.
Mommy-military spends our tax dollars to do that for all the little soldier-children.
And Mommy-military tells the little soldier-children fantastic stories about bravery and courage and how the soldier-children guarantee Freedom for all the citizens and keep our country the best in the world! Mommy military never mentions we are not the best, by a long shot. They never mention that the USA in infant mortality rate ranks 49th, just ahead of Croatia at No. 50.
Conservatives support giving billions of tax dollars to Mommy-Military and Mommy-military wastes tax dollars on weapons and preparation for war.
Mommy-military weakens our country through trillions of dollars of deficit spending (euphemistically called “special appropriations”).
Mommy-military makes us less safe by betraying our values and violating the Supreme laws of our land. Through the commission of torture, murder, kidnapping, and collective punishment of civilian populations, in violation of laws binding upon us, our country’s values are trampled upon in our name.
OK, here’s my rant (among that of others).
Sorry,….. though some Americans might derive a sense of security from the oft stated contention that our nation is imperialistically controlling world affairs, more approximately we are just one more colony (plantation really) occupied by the real controllers of global affairs. That is, the transnational corporations and international financial institutions.
Yes, it is “our” military that is deployed around the globe “protecting our interests” (putatively speaking again), but more specific to the truth “ours” applies only to the cost paid in blood and tax dollars. In spite of all the chest beating bravura and patriotic hoopla about our “service members” — deployed in untold numbers of nations around the globe — their mission can only be labeled American by fact that it is the American flag sewn on their uniforms as a shoulder patch. Contending they are serving American interests is no more accurate than would be claim that the mercenary Gerkhas of the British Empire were serving Nepal.
That is to say, again, it is only the transnational corporations and financiers being served, not “we the people”.
Elections in America are a charade, bought and paid for as side-show distraction while our independent sovereignty is alternately sold and eroded away. Whether you vote Democrat or Republican the eventual winner will govern less as representative “of the people” but more as appointed governor of a colonized nation.
National sovereignty has effectively been dissolved, making irrelevant the classification of citizen. Instead, we are now reduced in status to a global commodity classification of human capital, having no more standing in our own nation than people anywhere else in the world. That’s why foreign nationals who’ve violated our immigration laws by illegal entry are now demanding to be accepted as a legitimate political force — backed, of course, by the politically correct crowd insisting that no distinction be made between those here legally and those not.
See, that’s how the global plantation system works. In practice; America de-industrialized for manufacture offshore in nations having surfeit human capital (translated: cheaper for hire; such as in China, or India, or Viet Nam,…. on and on).
Too; failure to stem flood of illegal immigrants whose practice of employ and hire do much more damage than just undercut the wage floor for citizens. Their infusion into the nation’s labor force has created a shadow economy that dodges tax obligations to pay for the social infrastructure their enormous numbers overburden. This infusion also displaces America’s young people, taking away their opportunity for entrance level employment so important in preparing them with early job experience in part-time or seasonal occupation. Maybe the greatest loss is America being denied its own robust and capable workforce, built generation upon generation through apprenticeship programs and on-job training.
Worse, political parties are bidding against one another for the favor of these violators of our immigration laws, tailoring campaigns with appeal pitches targeting them as hedge toward possibility of eventual amnesty. Abandoning obligation to serve the interest of the sovereign citizenry, the political parties have become nakedly self serving in a bidding war for long-tem political power. By ever increasing numbers this potential scab voting block will anchor the top bidder’s position for generations, hence serve as weight against the current sovereign citizens’ disaffection stemming from recognition of having been betrayed.
Tragically, patriotiotism (especially in form of objection to erosion of national independent sovereignty) has become unfashionable for many Americans, replaced by a particularly pernicious doctrine of political correctness. According to this doctrine, because America’s history isn’t pure regarding injustice to minorities (no nation is unblemished, by the way) and for being too European and White we should surrender sovereignty as penance. That is, until our nation redeems itself by attaining some idealized (yet unspecified) proportional distribution of race, ethnicity, religion, etc., etc., etc. Yea diversity, right?
You see, as recipients for right to self determination through democratic process of elected representation we are being disqualified. Left only with classification of human capital we must devalue ourselves in obligation to global market standards. All barriers for preserving our quality of life as nationally independent and self sustainable must go. Instead we must accept (as act of absolution from historic national sins, mind you) the burden of the rest of the world’s run-away over population.
America will not regain national sovereignty as long as our government and military are co-opted as handmaid to corporate global ambitions, and not until other nations are forced to honor our border with control of their own. That condition should be the aim of National Defense.
They resent their “freedom” to ride with a helmet being taken away

I’ll bet Mommy Mullah knows how to fix the USA’s problems. Let me see if I can trouble one for an opinion. What’s that? He grabbed a picnic basket and left? Oh that’s right. They’re executing whores at the soccer stadium today. It’s a family event.
You see, as recipients for right to self determination through democratic process of elected representation we are being disqualified.
No, you are not being “disqualified” … you are being left behind … because of your antiquated and prejudiced rejection of what you call “political correctness” … because of your refusal to change instead of bitching about “political correctness” … Your desire to be politically incorrect destines you to extinction.
You are being left behind, outnumbered, and your generation of rigid WASP ideology will be gradually replaced through nonviolent democratic processes. It’s all good.
“It’s all good.”
See ya at the picnic.
They’re executing whores at the soccer stadium today. It’s a family event.
Just like it was a family event in the USA when Negroes were lynched, complete with picnic lunches… family affairs in which the families participated in torturing a Black man before the lynching.
If another country, a civilized country, decided to invade the USA to attack the white racists doing the lynchings, what would the reaction be: unity against the foreign aggressors. Just like in the Middle East today.
Countries go through an evolution. Just as I condemn violence in the USA, I condemn any kind of violence due by the Mullahs in the Middle East. Violence is not the solution to social problems.
OK. So why don’t you shut the fuck up about it?
CORRECTION AND ADDED EMPHASIS
I condemn any kind of violence done by the Mullahs in the Middle East.
Because you think the answer to violence is more violence, that’s why I will NEVER shut up about it.
At least I am consistent. I condemn violence on both sides. You share more in common with the Mullahs than me: you both believe violence is OK in certain situations.
Oh please let me catch some motherfucker poisoning a little girl on her way to school…
Oh please let me catch some motherfucker poisoning a little girl on her way to school…
You are so brave. Do you wear a white hat?
And the Mullah is saying: “Oh please let me catch some SOB Marine kicking in the door at 2:00 a.m. where my daughter is sleeping.”

How would you react if a foreign military force was in the USA kicking down the doors of your family members “looking for weapons”?
Don’t worry Asoka. You’re going to get your “wish”. The other day when I wondered what was left of Afghani culture, a friend of mine explained to me that the violence I find so abhorrent IS Taleb culture, and the US is interferring in it. This situation totally sucks. The Army is not going to leave many people in Afghanistan (who knows about the number of “contractors”). As the Taliban expands it’s role in the government, man are those service people gonna get fucked with. Then came the Iranians…
Then came the Iranians…
You always have to conjure up an enemy for your precious chickenshit military to attack.
Thousands of years of military interventions have not created a peaceful world. Like I said, you done drunk the kool aid and swallowed the propaganda that we are the “good guys” and “they” (whoever that happens to be this week) are the “bad guys”.
Cobardes Criminales metidos en Afghanistan.
Don’t worry Asoka. You’re going to get your “wish”.
I’m not worried. I know I will get my wish.
I have public opinion on my side and I am sure I will get my wish … because it’s not just mine. It’s shared by all reasonable people.
WASHINGTON, May 19, 2012 — Support for the war in Afghanistan has reached a new low, with only 27 percent of Americans saying they back the effort and about half of those who oppose the war saying the continued presence of American troops in Afghanistan is doing more harm than good, according to an AP-GfK poll.
http://teapartypatriotsonline.com/2012/05/poll-support-for-afghan-war-at-new-low/
Orders to ship to Afghanistan are illegal. Any soldier in Afghanistan is a war criminal.
Answer my question.
How would you react if a foreign military force was in the USA kicking down the doors of your family members “looking for weapons”?
I damn sure wouldn’t give ’em any shit.
But you would consider them terrorists, right? Busting down the door at 2:00 a.m. and terrorizing the children is terrorism, and the USA forces are doing it EVERY SINGLE GODDAMNED NIGHT.
Reverend Wright said it true: GODDAMN AMERICA!
If you can’t see WE are the terrorists and criminals in Afghanistan, heaven help you. Taliban victory is assured and many more USA soldiers will die. Each year we are there the Taliban just gets stronger. They are defending their homeland against foreign invaders and they will force the invaders out.
Night Raids Killed over 1,500 Afghan Civilians
U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) killed well over 1,500 civilians in night raids in less than 10 months in 2010 and early 2011, analysis of official statistics on the raids released by the U.S.-NATO command reveals.
WE ARE THE WAR CRIMINALS KILLING UNARMED CIVILIANS EVERY DAY.
The reason why this all so important is, obviously, oil. But there is no oil in Afghanistan, you say. I tried to point out that Afghanistan is important for military strategy (a concept that, thankfully, is beyond your comprehension) and not just by the US. I can assure you, any attempts to embargo will be catastrophic and unpredictable.
a concept that, thankfully, is beyond your comprehension
Yes, it is beyond my comprehension that for some kind of strategy on paper we have killed 1,500 Afghan civilians.
Fuck your strategy. Fuck your oil. Fuck your criminal armed forces.
CORRECTION WITH EMPHASIS
Let me put this in words you can understand, Xhalor:
Fuck your strategy. Fuck your oil. Fuck your criminal armed forces.
Thousands of years of military interventions have not created a peaceful world.
=============
A couple of years ago, with all of recorded history as my guide, I quoted the Bible: “There will always be wars and rumors of wars.” You were wearing a happy face that day and so you denied it. But now you speak of “Thousands of years of military interventions.” Just one more Asoka inconsistency.
Wish I could fuck’em all. I don’t want any of this to happen. Let me know when you’re ready to get off the oil.
I can assure you, any attempts to embargo will be catastrophic and unpredictable.
You can’t assure shit.
If and when an embargo happens against the USA it will be more catastrophic for people living in 5,000 square feet McMansions in the suburbs dependent on 2,000-mile salads than for Afghans living in mud huts. Just the way the cookie crumbles. The USA has much more to lose.
Let me know when you’re ready to get off the oil.
Who appointed you the guardian of oil?
Do you think that only the US will respond militarily if there is a full-on OPEC embargo?
I quoted the Bible: “There will always be wars and rumors of wars.” You were wearing a happy face that day and so you denied it.
You wouldn’t know consistency if it bit you.
But I’m nobody’s fool tonight.
I am consistent because I still deny “there will always be wars” because of the word “always”
We don’t know and cannot know the fucking future.
What I am saying is what we do know: violence begets more violence and all those military interventions and killing civilians just creates a desire for revenge and results in more violence.
I can point to the past as evidence. You cannot point to the future and affirm “there will always be wars”
Modern Western European countries have not been at war with one another for seven decades now. So “always” is false anyway.
Translation of which is: White identity, even identifying as white, will cease to exist. Every trait, value, and custom we hold dear will be eradicated if you have your way; whether those things associated with whites are/were ever harmful or negative in any way.
Thanks for straightening me out. But the question lingers: what is the ratio of un WASPish population to be reached for the United States to be once more deemed worthy of sovereign self determination?
That is, what will be the qualifier in “diverse” make-up to permit enforced legal definition of “citizen”, which as a collective body will once more have exclusive right of determining the nation’s destiny?
That is, when will our national destiny no longer default to however many foreign nationals choose to disregard our borders – our nationhood?
Do you think that only the US will respond militarily if there is a full-on OPEC embargo?
You don’t get it, xhalor. The USA is a paper tiger that couldn’t defeat little men in black pajamas or robed men with turbans and ieds. All your vaunted military technology is useless.
Do you think the USA is going to take on China and Russia who are backing Iran, when the USA was powerless to overcome insurgencies in poor third world countries like Vietnam and Iraq?
The USA military is a criminal waste of money.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, every fucking Marine who is “trained to kill” (sick, sick, sick) signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those little Afghan girls you claim to love so much who hunger and are not fed, a theft from those little Afghan girls you claim to love so much who are cold and are not clothed.
Yes, and your point is?
White morally challenged individuals are on the way out. So? What are you going to do. Deal with it, dude. Stop whining.
Added to that, true WASPs are the best white friends blacks ever had. The most prominent have been your benefactors for decades. Only Jews have done more for you.
Most liberals are WASPs. Most abolitionists were New England Puritan WASPs.
Rigid WASP ideology these days is usually aimed at other whites, but I think WASP is just code for all whites to you.
Ok. You don’t think that the rest of the oil-usin’ planet will lift a finger. I take back what I said about you being a sociopath.
You’re an idiotic sociopath.
Oh snap! China and Russia are going to assist.
Of course they are. I’m sure you’ve conferred with the generals, seen the satellite intelligence, and all the other deployment “stuff”.
Soaka wants open borders.
Open borders = a fascist narco-dictatorship.
Re: ‘Vlad want a fascist dictatorship’.
when will our national destiny no longer default to however many foreign nationals choose to disregard our borders – our nationhood?
Hello? Reagan granted an amnesty in 1986 and until Obama not a single president had done anything. Obama has arrested and deported more illegals in four years than both Bushes combined in twelve years.
The very assertion that we have “defaulted on our national destiny” is a lie.
When will we no longer default, you ask? Hello? When Obama took office the “default” on national destiny stopped. Here is the proof:
The Obama administration has undertaken the most serious and sustained actions to secure the Southwest border in our nation’s history.
Obama increased the number of Border Patrol agents nationwide from approximately 10,000 in 2004 to more than 21,000 today with nearly 18,500 ‘boots on the ground’ along the Southwest border.
Working in coordination with state and other federal agencies, Obama deployed a quarter of all ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] operational personnel to the Southwest border region –- the most ever -– to dismantle criminal organizations along the border.
The results of these comprehensive and coordinated efforts have been striking. Border Patrol apprehensions -— a key indicator of illegal immigration —- have decreased 53 percent in the last three years and are less than 20 percent of what they were at their peak. Indeed, illegal immigration attempts have not been this low since 1971. What “default” on national destiny?
That Obama.
First he took the Republican “mandate” idea.
Then he took the Republican “algae” idea.
Then he cut taxes.
Then he killed the guy Bush couldn’t find.
Then Obama expanded the use of handguns.
Then he deported more illegals than Bush years combined, aaaaarrrrrrrrgh…..
Now he’s first to the gay punch. What’s a conservative Republican to do?
You’re an idiotic sociopath.
Yes, and I’m a dangerous sociopath. You cannot predict what I will do next.
Have you not posted in a long time?
Or have I missed your posts?
CHEERS, Cavepainter.
Soaka ‘want a fascist dictatorship’, Mexico style.
I have seen much more intelligence than you can imagine. I have sources for Chinese and Russian classified documents.
Every white is a morally challenged individual to you. I guess because whites don’t do things the black way? The black way is often failure or second best mediocrity when they try things the modern way.
Even you don’t want a unadulterated black society that has been attempted in the way it has in nations of blacks around the world. It won’t work well and will be the most unfavorable to blacks.
The only way that blacks may have a successful society is to revert to a naturalistic bush society with a little modern day knowledge thrown in. Those people are pretty much the only peaceful people in Africa or any where else blacks live in the world. It could be a high-level society or nation in that way; a high functioning society most suited to blacks.
There are blacks with enough knowledge to make that type of society thrive in it’s own way. Blacks can’t compete in the 21st century world of technology, etc.
Ill consider the source.
Flame on.
“Yes, and I’m a dangerous sociopath. You cannot predict what I will do next.”
You must have had a blast at the picnic!
Even you don’t want a unadulterated black society…
Very good! You are paying attention. I don’t want an unadulterated Black society or an unadulterated Chinese society or an unadulterated white society… you get my drift now, Tark.
What I want is what is actually happening in the world. I am getting my wish come true of a global multicultural village of all races living together.
You don’t want that? Fine, you will be left behind. The reality is that DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH.
MONOCULTURE IS DISASTER PRONE.
Ignore him!
I have a blast every day. Don’t you?
You’re not talking about explosives, are you?
LOL!
Anti soak is giving me more attention by saying “Ignore him”
Love it!
I have defeated Xhalor, and Q, and Tark, reducting them to name calling ad hominem attacks by citing actual evidence, proof, facts, etc. that they cannot deal with. Reality is on my side.
Like slippery eels they are writhing and worrying about the “national destiny” and “consistency” and the “extinction of whites” and the terribly immoral Mullahs, and, oh, the horrible Iranians and a possible OPEC embargo.
Weak and ineffectual persons can see, and are afraid of, the handwriting on the wall.
That’ classified information. You scared of IEDs, too?
….aaaaand NOW the drugs have taken effect.
CORRECTION
reducing them to name calling ad hominem attacks
You scared of drugs, too? You a ‘fraidy cat. You skeered of everything.
White mono-culture wasn’t disaster prone or in disarray until we started trying to accommodate everyone.
Besides, I said an unadulterated black nation in the same way it’s been tried for awhile. Attempting to compete in a world not made by you.
Have you ever read or heard of a book called This Perfect Day? It’s about, among other things, forcing disparate groups and races together by a form of velvet soft force. No independent thoughts or feelings allowed, every one loves each other because they don’t get a choice or have the chance to think in any other way. That sounds like the world you desire.
What the fuck do you call the Civil War?
Or maybe you call it the “War of Northern Aggression”?
Pre-accomodation white on white violence, family against family, massacres galore, white depravity on display for all the world to see.
forcing disparate groups and races together by a form of velvet soft force.
Exactly whis IS happening. It is called LOVE. Yes, that is exactly what I want and my wish is coming true. Kiss your white genetic purity goodbye. It is going away due to “soft force” the force of EROS.
EROS IS WINNING AGAINST THANATOS. Too bad for you. You cannot embrace multicultural, multiracial reality, so your choice is to suffer.
CORRECTION
Exactly THIS IS happening. It is called LOVE.
I call it and all wars soemthing we bounced back from. That was also a war not caused by, but a cause of and made in part by, further complications by a whole other race. Slavery and it’s aftermath caused turmoil and strife for everyone.
Exactly THIS IS happening. It is called LOVE.
What’s more, Tark, your grandchildren are color-blind. More bad news for you. They don’t give a fuck about race. Inter-racial marriages are skyrocketing. More bad news for you.
MONOCULTURE IS DISASTER PRONE. OUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE INTELLIGENT.
No love, thought control. It’s really true that the next wave of fascists will be anti-fascists. Like Churchill said.
Quite true. Republicans are warmongers and have nothing to do with the vision of the Founders. I have said so many times.
made in part by, further complications by a whole other race. Slavery and it’s aftermath caused turmoil and strife for everyone.
Oh, so now you are admitting the stupidity of the white race in chaining Blacks to the bottom of boats and bringing them here?
Finally, we agree.
Whites stupidly engaged in the slave trade. They should have either loved Blacks, acting like civilized human beings, or left Blacks alone.
What whites actually did in engaging in enslavement of Blacks was morally-challenged and stupid.
I’m not old enough for grandchildren, and I have no children. But I do have nephews and nieces and not one of them is colorblind, some are in their teens too. They aren’t full of hate but they know who they are and like it
I never thought that slavery was anything but cruel and sadistic, and an enormous mistake for whites well-being too.
Greed on both sides did that though. Greed for money and power. Blacks in Africa wanted power over their rivals and enemies; certain whites wanted money. But that’s such old news that it’s trite and worn out
No, loving. Not thought control.
Specifically, the Loving v. Virginia case, which struck down anti-miscegenation laws in 1967 in a landmark Supreme Court ruling.
Are you American, Tark?
If not, you can be excused for not knowing American history. It is LOVING that is changing the white monoculture, not thought control.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the number of interrracially married couples has increased from 310,000 in 1970 to 651,000 in 1980, to 964,000 in 1990, to 1,464,000 in 2000 and to 2,340,000 in 2008.
LOVING RELATIONSHIPS (not thought control) led to those marriages.
that’s such old news that it’s trite and worn out
I don’t know where to begin to start with such a stupid comment. It is obviously not worn out since we spend EVERY FUCKING WEEK on CFN rehashing it endlessly. And you will continue to pay for the sins of your ancestors IN THE PRESENT. It’s obvious it’s not old news and trite to you because you are here this week complaining and complaining and making stupid and insulting statements like:
Blacks can’t compete in the 21st century world of technology, etc.
You are going to continue to pay, TODAY, for continuing to hold that kind of racist attitude TODAY. Ain’t no past about it. Ain’t nothing trite about it. And we’ll be back next week discussing race again and the week after that forever because it is not in the past, it is burning in your present prejudice.
What you don’t understand is that I also believe that blacks have a absolute right to a mono-culture, mono-racial world of their own nation-wise.
When you put races together races will mix some. It’s the lure of the exotic and the pull of the familiar at the same time. That doesn’t prove a deep and abiding love.
Yes, btw, I’m American. I think I know American history moderately well…
Do most blacks seem happy or well-adjusted in this society? They are constantly angry and constantly resentful that they have to abide by the honkies rules.
I’m only here making my stupid comments because I’m tired of whites being battered and bashed because we exist and exist AS whites.
I’m also talking to myself…..
Every white is a morally challenged individual to you.
Tark, I cannot let you get away with such a statement. I acknowledge there are some good whites.
I DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY WHITE IS A MORALLY CHALLENGED INDIVIDUAL.
As I’ve stated many times before, I definitely include in the morally-challenged category whites who dropped atomic bombs on Japanese babies.
And whites (or any other color) who kick down doors every night, in Afghanistan night raids, terrorizing little girls, are morally challenged.
And the Taliban is definitely morally-challenged for the horrific things they do to little girls in Afghanistan.
Just because the Taliban terrorizes little girls doesn’t excuse our terrorizing little girls, or raping them, or murdering them or murdering their parents.
As my momma used to say: “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
If the shoe fits, wear it. If not, don’t.
Yeah, I do a lot of that myself.
That doesn’t prove a deep and abiding love.
When two people get married, usually they DO profess a deep and abiding love.
I’ve never heard wedding vows that said:
“I promise to love this person a little bit for now, until I get tired and decide to move on.”
Asoka, .I. can’t compete in a highly technological world at a high or even medium level. There’s plenty out there these days that is way beyond my capabilities. I feel left behind a little.
But, the difference is that I still feel like I fit into this society in a far more seamless way than blacks, or others for that matter. At least until now, this nation was on my wavelength, so to speak; I felt like I belonged here. I’m not sure most blacks have ever felt that way, definitely not deep down.
YOU SOUND LIKE SPIDEY IN THAT RANT…ARE YOU HE?
Along with the drone bombings of civilians, this is a morally-challenged foreign policy, that I lay at the feet of our half-white Commander-in-Chief Obama:
Night Raids Killed over 1,500 Afghan Civilians
U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) killed well over 1,500 civilians in night raids in less than 10 months in 2010 and early 2011, analysis of official statistics on the raids released by the U.S.-NATO command reveals.
Ignore asoka.
From what I’ve heard most interracial marriages don’t last long.
At least until now, this nation was on my wavelength, so to speak; I felt like I belonged here.
That must have been a wonderful feeling!
Some of us have never felt that …
(excess melanin and all the prejudice against it)
True, dat. And the reason is lack of acceptance by the families. Adolescents involved in interracial romance are less likely to reveal their relationships to their families, to the public eye and less likely to meet their partners’ parents. These patterns suggest that interracial relationships are less likely than intraracial relationships to be supported by significant others.
Then was, or is, segregation a completely bad thing? A truly fair segregated society would be for the good of all. It isn’t necessarily inherently oppressive.

Whom do you Trust?
The political theater is on with the attacks that don’t add up. Oh yeah, right we’re back to the birther theme again and with a new twist that in some states, Obama could be removed from the ballot, or so they say.
When Newt was interviewed by Chris Matthews about why people insist upon this idea, Newt sheepishly smiled and said “It beats me.”
Many will be stopped from voting this time around, as some states have introduced specific forms of id to vote.
What is the US Justice department doing about this? I haven’t heard a word from the MIA attorney general, have you?
So the Theater of Cruelty aka the Republican party is on the road with black box money pushing their agenda of privatization and union bashing. And the Cheney group–You know those corporate commies who want more money for Halliburton et al?
They want more more more, war war war. That’s right we’ve gotta smash social security and medicare for more money for the cronies and that fits in perfectly with their anything but free market ideology.
Here we go again, back to the future, cuz we have no other options. It’s all about some making huge money by not allowing this country to move forward and come up with any new models of operation.
Thanks to Dylan Ratigan, we can see a roadmap to other alternatives, but as Ratigan says, you can’t depend on the Govt to do anything.
On the other side of this disaster, known as the us govt. is Obama, who is to the right of Richard Nixon, who at least was Keyensian.
This guy adopted every Republican idea and the Republicans hate him and call him a radical socialist. Obama who is also a Milton Friedman acolyte globalist and free market guy can’t articulate in any meaningful way what is wrong with this picture.
Paul Craig Roberts, Webster Tarpely and Michael Hudson seem to agree that O is not going to be any different than the Reps., except he pays lip service to Keynes and will most likely do what the Reps can’t. Destroy ss and Medicare as we know it. (all the while he will be called a radical lefty by the Reps who will show only hatred toward him as he does exactly what they want.)
Most voters are oblivious to this charade and only vote for who they identify with. Oh Romney’s not so bad. The only problem is you’re not voting for the man but the machine he will bring with him and if its the Cheney machine that ain’t good.
—I’m not so sure either one really wants to win. Perhaps the Bilderbergs will decide the winner in Chantilly Va. this coming week.

No, until this week I had not posted in months, finding too little substance in the exchanges on this site to comment. Pity, JHK’s commentaries are so intellectually well founded, insightful and creatively expressed.
From so many of the habitual posters on this site I hear only allegiance to tribal affiliation, such as race, ethnicity, religion, partisan dogma (Left or Right) etc., rather than allegiance to the democratic principles of government that the Age of Enlightenment gave us (for the hopeful purpose of patiently working through the discord from such sets of individual alignment).
According to them those principles must be suspended whenever the citizen base in question doesn’t meet a certain notion of purity – er, proper blend of “diversity” – or until the nation surrenders national sovereignty as gesture of mea culpa for “un pure” history.
My time is better spent reading evolutionary zoology and anthropology
Hello Everyone,
Sorry I’m late – it’s been quite hectic lately. The blogosphere is infested, and all indications are a few ‘jobs’ are residing here as well 🙁
With your help I’m sure we will be able to retire them soon.
Best regards,

Agreed.
The pay is better than school teacher’s receive.

The Bilderbergs do not favor gay marriage. They have lost control of their puppets. They are irrelevant.
James,
You have been saying the same things over & over & over again. Year in and year out the same predictions of doom are layed out. What you proposed in 2008 that were to be happening within days or months are the same things you are proposing to happen in days or months in 2012. As I have said before, I agree with you that our nation and the world is in for a calamity and shock at a level the world has never before seen. It’s coming and it will arrive. But it will arrive ONLY in God’s time as he reveals his son Jesus Christ to us. You COULD be an extremely accurate prophet, but only if you seek the Lord God and seek his wisdom. Look to God and to his son Jesus, and be faithful to him, and God will bless you. You have a great gift for writing, and you have a gift for prophecy, but it can only be effective when God is guiding your life. Otherwise your predictions will be hit and miss, mostly miss, because you are not seeking your advice and guidance from the Lord. Should you seek the Lord’s wisdom you will find the truth that you are trying to predict. Seek him, and find his rewards. Otherwise you will continue to predict things with no accuracy and no substance. You can do MUCH better. Seek God’s widosm first, and then your prophecy will be blessed.
Jesus is a false messiah who also predicted the day of judgment would arrive before his death.
Jesus was off by 2,000 years … So give JHK some slack.
I am taking a break from CFN and may be gone more than 15 minutes. God bless the union for negotiating breaks.
What other blogs, if any, do you follow?
I went to a secondary email account I have, this morning, and found all these emails from WordPress [all unwanted, with ‘do not reply’ in address]
+ there was a ‘want less email from wordpress’ link, when I clicked I could not see any way to unsubscribe!
So long blue nose.
Live with it Asoka, there are still plenty of whites that won’t embrace blacks the way you want.
Face it, Asoka, not all whites will embrace blacks and give themselves up to black people completely. You can’t force yourself on us all.
No matter how many people stroke your ego; the net isn’t the best representation of the country as a whole.
A while back ago you requested that I not engage you on this site. I honored that request but then you started replying to my posts, ” flaming” if you will.
Moreover, my post about Vlad’s economic station in life was not a put down, but a question based on his own declarations of a lowly economic status.
Beyond that why do you even post here? Most of your posts are inane one-liners mixed up with linked anti-Semitic articles and other racist polemics.
At any rate, I’ll ignore you from here on out and perhaps you can help out by sticking to something you’re good at, like curling dumbbells or something.

The pay is definitely adequate.
Since you responded, why don’t we start with you?
It’s much harder to run the tests in a medium like this, but we can try.
Here’s an image. Can you describe it with some detail?
Others, please remember this is directed only to the poster being replied to. Thank you.
A current and cogent article from chrismartenson.com about the waning power of OPEC. Bound to spark some, dare I say it, controversy.
http://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2012-05-24/opec-has-lost-power-lower-price-oil
I’m thinking that maybe making people think that they’re unwitting participants in some kind psychological “test” is probably not a good way to attract people to this site. Unless, of course, that is the objective.
Face it, Asoka, not all whites will embrace blacks
I faced that a long time ago. Whites are now a minority, but an important voting block nonetheless.
Don’t need ALL whites, just enough to elect a Black president.
Indiana voted for Obama in 2008. The tide has turned.
Con mucho gusto.
It’s some kind of squirrel. Can’t tell if it’s a red or brown squirrel. It has a bushy tail, and from the size of the lumps in the cheeks, I’d say it is gathering nuts to store somewhere.
Night Raids Killed over 1,500 Afghan Civilians
Mercenary U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) killed well over 1,500 civilians in night raids in less than 10 months in 2010 and early 2011, analysis of official statistics on the raids released by the U.S.-NATO command reveals.
Well, maybe he’ll leave a turd-ette for you,too.
Hes flammable material
‘You, Sir, are a complete and total fucking idiot.’
“Night Raids Killed over 1,500 Afghan Civilians”
So this is like what, the fifth time you’ve posted this in the last 24 hrs.? And you maintain that the Taliban is gaining strength. Those numbers would sure make me think twice.
Why Doesn’t Mitt Romney Talk about His Five Wives
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/26/bill-maher-wifers-birthers_n_1547939.html
I’m not saying I’m a “wifer” but Romney is from a polygamous nomadic Mormon tribe and that has to have shaped his worldview, and may have five wives.
May 6, 2012 – Incompetence, haste costs US $80 million and consulate in Northern Afghanistan; Update: CODEL reports Taliban gaining strength.
You don’t abandon an $80 million dollar USA embassy if you can defend it.
But the USA Military cannot defend it because the Taliban is gaining strength and kicked the USA out.
Night Raids Killed over 1,500 Afghan Civilians
Mercenary and criminal U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) killed well over 1,500 civilians in night raids in less than 10 months in 2010 and early 2011, analysis of official statistics on the raids released by the U.S.-NATO command reveals.
The murders constitute crimes against humanity. The USA forces, in the middle of the night, are terrorizing little Afghan girls asleep in their beds.
USA troops are directly supporting the Afghan police and the Afghan police are engaged in drug abuse, bribe taking, rape, and drug trafficking.
The deal Obama signed with Kabul would maintain a significant U.S. presence in Afghanistan until at least 2024. The U.S. will continue the war, including conducting night raids and drone strikes into Pakistan, well beyond this 2014 date. And it will continue to cost billions of dollars.
Another week gone … the World didn’t collapse. We planted cukes, eggplant and lettuce earlier this week and the lettuce is already poking thru … been reading alarming reports all week from Spain in the WSJ and IBD about their banks so we called relatives in Spain to see what it was all about. Nobody seemed too worried. A cousin, a Spanish blue eyed lovely, just opened a bar in San Sebastien and says the place is full every night. Those ancient cultures in Europe seem to be more comfortable with themselves and more at home in their own countries than we are here. Everybody has a garden in their part of Spain, and some of those old stone houses they live in were bought and paid for by their ancestors generations and generations ago. Plus summer is here and nobody works much in the summer. Of course in Madrid things might be different, there might be civil disorder. But out in the hinterlands, no, life goes on like it has since the days of Don Quixote de la Mancha.

Hey Asoka you seem to have a lot of opinions on the United States Armed Forces for someone who sought out and received CO status. Maybe you can get a job as special advisor to Obama on all things military. I suppose you’d advise him to surrender at all costs. I served in both the Army and Navy … but for me to make judgements on current policy and actions would be ludicrous. We used to have a poster here, a US Army officer in Germany … his was an informed opinion, well thought out and backed up by experience. Yours seems to be based on hatred of the United States.
–WSP7
Sounds lovely, what about the unemployment rate in Spain?
AS, rate is high. There doesn’t seem to be a stigma to being unemployed, like here, I’m not saying the place is a f—-g utopia, It ain’t. Everybody is in the cafes each night enjoying themselves. If the system totally collapses tomorrow there will still be money for Mojitos after sundown.

Main problem seems to be massive migration into the country, not only from North Africa, but Sub Saharan Africa as well.

The tide hasn’t turned for blacks. You’ll still be a stagnant minority and even a little more so percentage wise.
This will be the first and last HALF-black president that will be elected for awhile; the last black male, for certain. He didn’t turn out to be the Miracle Mulatto after all.
Next up after this upcoming election, a white woman may be elected. There are still probably women out there that are pissed Hilary was thrown under the bus.
I think white women are healthier and live longer than anyone else in the country. They have large numbers. That’s who will flex next.

Dammit Oz, I could have sworn that I told you I was a collection of nanobots.
I suspect that Canadians are being pressured to export this glut of natural gas via NAFTA agreements, which given a rather merciful winter, may have brought us time with our day of reckoning. When and if the gas runs out, which tends to do so suddenly as opposed to when oil weels run dry, the Canadians will say screw NAFTA, we want to keep ourselves and our Labatts and Molsons cold (2 excellent brews, Labatt’s Maximum Ice is the bomb)so all these truckers, let alone americans who will watch their toes and fingers start to fall off from hypothermia, will be shit out of luck. Coal powered trucks? Now that would last another decade, maybe two, if you don’t mind inhaling alot of coal dust along with that oxygen and having killer smogs as before industrialized places (have trouble calling them “civilizations”) made the conversion from coal to oil.
I still say the best idea is to start a crash program to relocate people and allocate resources in a way that will allow people to deindustrialize in a way that’s safe and dignified, but too many have been spoiled by this party that was thrown with the advent of cheap and abundant oil. The suburbs, car culture. It is tough to admit the party is over for some, but yet sooner or later this will be realized, volunarily or most certainly, involuntarily
Yours seems to be based on hatred of the United States.
WSP7, we all have our different perspectives.
You have served in the USA military. I have served in a hospital caring for broken USA warriors.
The woman who wrote the poem I posted last night gives the perspective of being the wife of a soldier in Afghanistan doing “night raids.”
Hate is a strong word, but yes I hate what war did to the American soldiers I cared for in the hospital for two years.
I hate that war is making orphans of little kids in Afghanistan and little kids in the United States, and I hate that war makes widows here and there.
I don’t honor the “service” of those who make orphans and widows. I condemn violence disguised as “service.”
I hate war, not the United States.
I think you are right to use the word hate in this circumstance.
The poster (or AI application) said the picture of that squirrel was only for my eyes.
“a shabby chair?”
What are you smoking?
“It is tough to admit the party is over for some, but yet sooner or later this will be realized, volunarily or most certainly, involuntarily”
As I’m typing this, the Allstate commercial says “…like a Ramen Noodle budget every night”. It’s already happening, it is, for the most part, INVOLUNTARY, and the realisation hasn’t happened yet. We’re going through the motions. Very soon, the realisation will happen. Wonder if I will still be able to get money for my baseball bobble-head dolls.
You have now reached a level of insanity that is simply not worth responding to. So, with my blessing, you can take this website and stick it up your ever-expanding ass, douchebaggie. What’s that?
Oh…sorry
SENIOR, Douchebaggie
You have now reached a level of insanity that is simply not worth responding to.
How could you confuse a squirrel with food in its cheeks for a chair? Why do you want to know where the Russian submarines are?
It doesn’t matter, really. You are now giving in to my desire to have you not respond to my posts, which is probably healthiest for both of us.
Thank you.
CORRECTION WITH EMPHASIS ADDED
I DO NOT HONOR the “service” of those who make orphans and widows. I condemn violence disguised as “service.”
Any Canucks in the midst out there? When one of those network tv shows featured a story about the new “boom” towns that are springing up from oil sands, one guy (Canadian) was talking about how most if not all Canadians think americans look down their noses at them. Is this true?I live the the Detroit/Windsor border, I don’t see this going on around here. Canadian pussy tastes just as good as american pussy, and their ladies are just as good at giving head, so what’s all this shit about, anyways? The only time I saw any evidence of this was when I was many years younger and grew up in the downriver city of Trenton, Michigan. Back in the 70s, almost every kid on the block played organized ice hockey. During the summer, we played street hockey. When the few ponds that were around froze over, back when the winter’s stayed cold enough and the climate was stable enough to allow for outdoor rinks, the kids that didn’t play organized hockey played on the outdoor rinks. The sport was more popular than baseball, football, and African handball (basketball) combined. So we went over the Ambassador Bridge to play against the Windsor boys on “friendship” tournaments. We beat the snot out of those guys, like 9-10 to 0, we tried to double skate our third string players because we didn’t want to humiliate them anymore than we had. The hockey moms from hell in Windsor acted like the world was coming to an end. Trenton used to win the state championships at all levels hands down, we had a strong program, and like I said, almost everyone played in city organized programs. Other than that, I have never seen any anymosity between Canadians and americans.
I got the book in the mail. The group in Jamaica are Germans who were brought in to work the land and found that it was unworkable in any way they knew. Many died and left before the survivors learned how to make a go of it. They seem to be begining to mix with the Blacks now although many believe the racial difference important and significant.
The director of the movie Papillon needed skinny Whites with faces lined with weariness and pain – they fit the bill and were in the movie.
There’s another similar group in Guadaloupe – French Whites who fled the chaos of revolutionary France. They are more racist and are hated by both the rich Whites and the poor Blacks. Everyone wants to mix Whites out of existence it seems. If a Black or Asian wants to stay inside his own race, no one thinks twice.
The poor English Whites I heard about in Jamaica might exist, but this book doesn’t mention them.
A secret treaty was passed a few years ago for the two militaries to support each other in case of domestic disturbance. That probably means if the American Military is overseas, the Canadians will come in and hold down Detroit, Buffalo, and other downtrodden northern cities.
What did you think of Eastwood’s half time for Detroit speech? I’d say it’s game over…

I rarely think about Canadians enough to look down on them.
THe great literary scholar and cultural critic Paul Fussell died this past week. Now only James Kunstler is left to thoroughly eviscerate American civilization. Read Fussell’s 1991 book “BAD Or, The Dumbing of America.”

I think we’re on the same page. We just differ on what we should do during the TRANSITION PERIOD to sustainable communities. Like any transition, it can be managed or it can be left to chance which, IMHO, will mean martial law and total chaos.
My views about natgas use are for a transition period ONLY. By no means do I view any PERMANENT use of natgas to “keep the suburban easy motoring game going” as rational. I do not.
However, in all honesty, any transition to sustainable communities and sustainable fuel sources looks like a utopian dream to me at this point since the government is broke and even our national labs (like SRI, Lawrence Livermore, and so on) are being financially eviscerated.
I think we’re hosed because we have too many people living in exurbs and “bedroom communities” where it’s many miles even to a convenience store. We’re not even making a twinkling of a move to change our living arrangements. Hence, I believe that as I age and meet my maker, I will see horrors that will only make me happy that I had a real life.
BTW … this doesn’t mean I’m not doing my part. I now drive about 2500 miles per year, I eat locally grown produce, and I buy goods like clothing ONLY when the old stuff wears out. I’m still going to live AS IF we have a chance though, deep in my gut, I think world post-industrial civilization is on its last legs.
E.
Me too.
I don’t see much modification in “lifestyles” of the ‘Murkin poor and obscure, much less those that really do know better.
So, while I’ve learned how to conserve more and more and use less and less energy, and try to pretend that folks will smarten up and at least CONSIDER a transition to a far lower energy standard, I don’t really believe anything will be attempted til the wall is hit at full throttle (in the holy name of suicidal growth of course).
Outcomes will be more than dire for all living things if so. It doesn’t surprise me that the jeeziz squads are back in fine form; advocating for focus on the afterlife… ’cause there won’t be much of a presentlife if the status quo continues.

From the Archdruid Report:
[Fracking and scratching for other low-grade fuel sources:]
“Their breakthrough status is entirely a product of hype. Behind that hype, I’ve come to think, and the comparable hype that surrounded the hydrogen economy, corn ethanol, and all the other failed pseudosolutions to our predicament, lies a very specific motive: the desire to find some reason, however fatuous, to insist that it’s all right to keep on wallowing in the benefits of today’s wildly unsustainable energy and resource consumption, instead of getting ready for the far less lavish world that’s going to follow in short order.” -JMG
And thus the employment of ever more smoke and mirrors, and the burgeoning flood of denial punditry to turn attention from the din of all those falling shoes…
Place your bets, Poppets.

Okay then.
I am not much of a sports buff, to be honest. I cannot figure out why people like to watch cars zipping around some race track, when you can get video tapes or DVDs of just the crashes. This is more true of the inbreds from the south, but we have our fair of people who were let into the gene pool when the life guard was off duty up here as well. Baseball is cool for a few minutes, but then, like a porno movie, I wanna get involved in the action. I don’t care for basketball for various reasons.
I did watch the superbowl like 2 years ago, because the WHO played at halftime. Just to prove how music has gone downhill over the last 30 years (the beginning of the end was the death of Jimi Hendrix and the final nail in the coffin was when pervo freak Michael Jackson’s “thriller” album over came Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon as the best selling album….I knew the end of the world was not far behind), the WHO, without Keith Moon and John Entwistle, could still blow any of these new punk ass dipshits, “new country” inbreds and toothless wonders from the shotgun, hound dog, and pick up truck crowd, and top 40 bubble gum chewing queens chanting their childlike nursery rhymes off the stage. I was born in 63, can only imagine what it must of been like to see the WHO live with Keith Moon in his prime and John Entwistle tearing up his bass…..truly a force of nature, when I watch the old concerts of the WHO live turned up on my surround system. You older folks out there were indeed lucky to have had quality music from the 60s and progressive era of the 70s.
Next year it was some choreographed jungle warfare, some freak show from some act that called themselves the salt and pepper gang, or some shit like that. Time to get another beer and mute the television before I do my Elvis impersonation and blast the screen out with my 44. Last year was another talentless freak show, Madonna, whom I have always hated with a passion (her music…when she pisses Catholics off, I like her). So I didn’t really catch Clint’s revive Detroit take, but from I have heard about it, I can say although I love Clint Eastwood movies, the man must be succumbing to early Alzheimer’s and/or dementia
Revive Detroit? Entire neighborhoods with houses that I am told were once nice looking like they have been bombed. Walking down most of the streets would put you on the endangered species list, with a life expectancy of about 5 minutes at best. Garbage piles, weeds, rats, bed bug epidemics, lice, scabies, poverty, violence, crack heads, homeless people…as the governor of Michigan is soon to appoint an emergency manager and the city itself is forever scaling back public services and starting to shut off street lights for terrified people who are trapped there and cannot afford to move. Save Detroit. Like trying to install central air in hell along with ice cream stands. Ain’t never gonna happen. The decay has spread to the suburbs as well. Once thriving strip malls vacant and for lease, once crowded shopping malls now turned into ghost malls, with more and more stores disappearing with none coming in to replace them. Homes for sale all over, they just sit there and slowly fall apart, not even selling for 1/4 of their “peak” value. Grown adults moving in with their parents, or their kids can’t find jobs so stay with their parents, suicide and crime rates are at all time highs in and around Detroit. Recent headlines: a 74 year old woman shot her grandson 4 times, then after the kid called 9/11, 4 more to finish him off. Another story about some punk beating his mother and father and rest of the family to death with a baseball bat.
Regarding the auto industry. Making a temporary comeback. People who have not yet lost their jobs are buying these gas guzzling new Camaros, thinking that there will be endless cheap oil. When the oil becomes expensive or the US gets locked out of the international oil trade (both seem inevitable) then people will realize that the car they are presently driving or the next one they purchase in the near future will be the last ones they ever drive. The auto industry is doomed to fail, its decline has all but devastated Detroit and many of the surrounding suburbs. That whole spectacle, with the all that militaristic bullshit, was truly a sign of a desperate and dying empire on its last legs. No amount of flagwaving bally hoo and hoopala is going to save Detroit, let alone the US, from the contraction and deindustrialization that it has entered, but at least we can watch our collapse on our high definition flat screen televisions
Best way to conserve precious resources is to eliminate the most wasteful organization on planet earth: the USA military.
But, instead, what most of you will be doing Memorial Day is giving honor to those who volunteered to wage war and waste our remaining few precious resources. You will honor those who destroy families by creating widows and orphans.
The War Prayer
by Mark Twain
It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and sputtering; on every hand and far down the receding and fading spreads of roofs and balconies a fluttering wilderness of flags flashed in the sun; daily the young volunteers marched down the wide avenue gay and fine in their new uniforms, the proud fathers and mothers and sisters and sweethearts cheering them with voices choked with happy emotion as they swung by; nightly the packed mass meetings listened, panting, to patriot oratory which stirred the deepest deeps of their hearts and which they interrupted at briefest intervals with cyclones of applause, the tears running down their cheeks the while; in the churches the pastors preached devotion to flag and country and invoked the God of Battles, beseeching His aid in our good cause in outpouring of fervid eloquence which moved every listener.
It was indeed a glad and gracious time, and the half dozen rash spirits that ventured to disapprove of the war and cast a doubt upon its righteousness straightway got such a stern and angry warning that for their personal safety’s sake they quickly shrank out of sight and offended no more in that way.
Sunday morning came – next day the battalions would leave for the front; the church was filled; the volunteers were there, their faces alight with material dreams – visions of a stern advance, the gathering momentum, the rushing charge, the flashing sabers, the flight of the foe, the tumult, the enveloping smoke, the fierce pursuit, the surrender! – then home from the war, bronzed heros, welcomed, adored, submerged in golden seas of glory! With the volunteers sat their dear ones, proud, happy, and envied by the neighbors and friends who had no sons and brothers to send forth to the field of honor, there to win for the flag or, failing, die the noblest of noble deaths. The service proceeded; a war chapter from the Old Testament was read; the first prayer was said; it was followed by an organ burst that shook the building, and with one impulse the house rose, with glowing eyes and beating hearts, and poured out that tremendous invocation – “God the all-terrible! Thou who ordainest, Thunder thy clarion and lightning thy sword!”
Then came the “long” prayer. None could remember the like of it for passionate pleading and moving and beautiful language. The burden of its supplication was that an ever-merciful and benignant Father of us all would watch over our noble young soldiers and aid, comfort, and encourage them in their patriotic work; bless them, shield them in His mighty hand, make them strong and confident, invincible in the bloody onset; help them to crush the foe, grant to them and to their flag and country imperishable honor and glory.
An aged stranger entered and moved with slow and noiseless step up the main aisle, his eyes fixed upon the minister, his long body clothed in a robe that reached to his feet, his head bare, his white hair descending in a frothy cataract to his shoulders, his seamy face unnaturally pale, pale even to ghastliness. With all eyes following him and wondering, he made his silent way; without pausing, he ascended to the preacher’s side and stood there, waiting.
With shut lids the preacher, unconscious of his presence, continued his moving prayer, and at last finished it with the words, uttered in fervent appeal,” Bless our arms, grant us the victory, O Lord our God, Father and Protector of our land and flag!”
The stranger touched his arm, motioned him to step aside – which the startled minister did – and took his place. During some moments he surveyed the spellbound audience with solemn eyes in which burned an uncanny light; then in a deep voice he said
“I come from the Throne – bearing a message from Almighty God!” The words smote the house with a shock; if the stranger perceived it he gave no attention. “He has heard the prayer of His servant your shepherd and grant it if such shall be your desire after I, His messenger, shall have explained to you its import – that is to say, its full import. For it is like unto many of the prayers of men, in that it asks for more than he who utters
“You have heard your servant’s prayer – the uttered part of it. I am commissioned by God to put into words the other part of it – that part which the pastor, and also you in your hearts, fervently prayed silently. And ignorantly and unthinkingly? God grant that it was so! You heard these words: ‘Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!’ That is sufficient. The whole of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory – must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God the Father fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!
“O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle – be Thou near them! With them, in spirit, we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it – for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
(After a pause)
“Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits.”
It was believed afterward that the man was a lunatic, because there was no sense in what he said.
Note: Twain wrote The War Prayer during the US war on the Philippines. It was submitted for publication, but on March 22, 1905, Harper’s Bazaar rejected it as “not quite suited to a woman’s magazine.” Eight days later, Twain wrote to his friend Dan Beard, to whom he had read the story, “I don’t think the prayer will be published in my time. None but the dead are permitted to tell the truth.” Because he had an exclusive contract with Harper & Brothers, Mark Twain could not publish “The War Prayer” elsewhere and it remained unpublished until 1923.
Hendrix was murdered 42 years ago this summer.
I think 2 things killed RnR, back in the 80s.
Dance [or dunce], as in Madonna [did ya know many great groups are not hall of fame inductees but she and some rappers are?] and Rap.
With Dance/Pop and Rap alot of $$$ can be made, and no one has to be able to play and instrument or sing
[competently or at all].
I cannot figure out why people like to watch cars zipping around some race track
It is a distraction from the real waste of resources. The Indy 500 zips 33 cars for 500 miles on one day a year. The US military zips thousands of trucks, tanks, combat vehicles, transport planes, etc. around the globe thousands of miles to hundreds of military bases.
Eliminate the USA military and all the “defense” contractors that provide support “services” (at twice the cost of having GIs do the work) … a military that cannot provide for its own basic needs is doomed.
“….Europe went from being a fractious, disease-ridden fourteenth-century backwater to global dominance, through the development of six “killer applications”: competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the work ethic ? and is now experiencing a precipitious decline (along with the rest of the West).”

Night Raids Killed over 1,500 Afghan Civilians
Criminal, wasteful, mercenary U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) killed well over 1,500 civilians in terrorizing night raids in less than 10 months in 2010 and early 2011, analysis of official statistics on the raids released by the U.S.-NATO command reveals.
Do not honor those who destroy families, terrorized sleeping children, and create widows and orphans.
Also its noteworthy that Who Leader PT was convicted of child pornography [and willing to lie as to why he had it] and Blind Faith had the topless 12 year old on the LP cover.

American Welfare is Better
So they have larger houses in the USA, even made cheaply with wood and such, but they often have a basement, a garage, an attic, extra room, they have room, they have backyards and such and wide roads. So if you have a son or daughter or relative out of a job and without a house just put them in the garage and make a room for him, or put him in the basement or attic and such, and that will create less room and house problems: in Europe they don’t have extra room in houses, they have small, tight, puny houses and tight roads, they don’t have room enough etc. So they are poorer in this respect compared to the USA and therefore they have higher house prices, way higher than in the USA. And in fact the housing bubble in the USA hurts more because people have extra room they can use, the housing bubbles that popped in Spain or the UK (and that must still pop in Italy, but they forgot to pop it or is it that their owner class is never going to let it pop so as to create hugely artificially high prices for puny homes forever since no market forces work in that Failed Puny Cartoon Economy of Italy ?) didn’t make the prices go down much: they should have crashed like crazy, they should have been cut all by 90 %, a 3 bedroom house in the center of London or Madrid or Rome should not cost more than 50,000 dollars, but since those economies don’t operate by market forces, only by the strong ones making the prices and forcing them down everyone’s throat, they will always be much poorer than the USA.
And in the USA you get food stamps to eat, so there: you get a room and can eat no matter what, in Europe you are not granted either structurally, it is a failed puny continent of greedy Right Wing Thugs.
But then you have the Health Care costs in the USA that compensate the free room and board of the USA described above, so as you see, the law of conservation of wealth is observed anyways across different systems, either you pay in one way or in another, and in the USA there are many more homeless than in the EU, another weird effect, but then again, the law of conservation of wealth or (pain and pleasure) compensates the puny homes in the EU with stronger family ties or something else, who knows…
Failed State ?
When a country is bankrupt and can’t pay anymore, then all of their imports cost more, a lot more, there is very little exchange value left for the country: you would think that under those circumstances the prices of local goods should go way down to compensate how much the Failed State must pay for Computers or TVs or Energy and such, so the value of homes should go way, way down and so should local food and such. But for every force there is an equal and contrasting force operating, and since the number of economic exchanges is reduced in a failing and dying economy, there is a force that would make the price of homes go way, way up since those few exchanges that are still going on become the only chance to gain some cash and such. So what will it be ? Home prices going up or down in Failed States such as Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy ? Whatever, the entire “Science” of Economics is a failed endeavor, like the blind man that wins a chess game by guessing while the loser tries to figure it all out: there are no rules or objective reality, only random forces going any place.
And then,the very meaning of an economy “growing” and “healthy” is an economy with many exchanges, as many as possible, people exchanging a huge number of items and such, and that makes the economy “grow”, but in order to have that, the prices must be low and everyone should have something that someone else thinks is valuable to exchange. But how on earth is that going to happen anymore, with jobs being automated out of existence and fewer and fewer real possible exchanges and such and debts to pay, so fewer exchanges and such ?

APE APESTERAPE APESTER 8 MAN EIGHT THE EIGHT
Well, Happy Memorial Day to all C’Fner’s! I don’t have to tell you that the suffering and carnage and death experienced by our troops is nothing to celebrate. Their courage and bravery, though, is.
Nobody likes war, except its profiteers (read Mother Courage). Yet it seems to be a part of the fabric which we are a part of.
Many a GI came back from WWII as a “hero”, when all he really did was spend time doing K.P. or some such. Pretty much any guy wearing a uniform could get laid without much difficulty in 1945.
Had a most pleasant 89th birthday. My daughter and son-in-law took me out to a ritzy restaurant where I got to order oysters and a Manhattan! Caesar salad was the main entree.
I told my brother, who has very serious health problems, that I didn’t expect to see 90. Sadly, he didn’t seem to disagree with me.
I’ll miss seeing my grandchildren marry. Other than that, I don’t mind bidding the world a fond farewell. I feel that I’ve had a good ride. Nevertheless, getting to be 90 and in good/fair health will be a welcome event for me. Should that event come to pass.
Their courage and bravery, though, is.
Et tu, Myrtlemay?
The 1,500 Afghan civilians murdered in night raids are victims of people who invaded their country and kicked down their doors at 2:00 in the morning, terrorizing their children.
How much courage and bravery is required to sneak around in the middle of the night and kick down the doors of civilian residences? How much courage and bravery is required to shoot unarmed civilians?
How much courage and bravery is required to act as war criminals and carry out crimes against humanity?
You guys would have loved Hitler. The uniforms were so pretty and the German soldiers all followed orders and the Germans honored their soldiers’ “courage and bravery”.
You say this, then you say we should celebrate “courage and bravery” of the soldiers who make women into widows and make children into orphans.
You may have lived 89 years, but you haven’t learned a damned thing about war.
If you are anti-war, you don’t have the courage of your convictions.
Happy birthday Miss MyrtleMay. I hope the coming year brings you much happiness, and am glad that you had a swell time at the restaurant.
Jen
Up till when Michael Manley began to turn Jamaica into a black-run republic (1972), the top-to-bottom arrangement of Jamaican whites was as follows: English-descended whites at the top, Scots and Irish the next level down, and the Germans at the bottom. The German-descended whites were referred to as St. Elizabeth whites, a term of derision. St. Elizabeth is a parish, the one where the Germans mainly settled.
An interesting point about these German Jamaicans is that many of them are blond-haired and blue-eyed, as white as white can be, by appearance. Yet even the most Nordic-looking of them sometimes have a touch of the tarbrush. These people are the very ones to give the racial categorizers night-long headaches.
Which book are you referring to? Is it “Lost White Tribes”?
Goodness gracious. No, San Jose Mom 51, Myrtlemay is a fictional character. As proof she will remain lucid and effusive for many, many years.
Viva la CFN! Viva Myrtemay!
I couldn’t agree more about Vietnam, asoka. I mean, Afghanistan.
“How much courage and bravery is required to sneak around in the middle of the night and kick down the doors of civilian residences? How much courage and bravery is required to shoot unarmed civilians?”
You should ask that of many blacks in the U.S. And add to it, how much courage does it take to mob and assault the first lone white person they see.
No limit to how many people you can aggravate?
[His words, with one changed to a more fitting word]
Yes he is a cyber squatter, blocking progress way.
You should ask that of many blacks in the U.S.
You can be damn sure I would be… if those Blacks were receiving trillions of dollars of taxpayer money… if those Blacks were being honored with parades… if those Blacks were being given preferences in employment, medical care, educational benefits, etc. to recognize their home invasion in the middle of the night.
Only USA military personnel are getting that kind of recognition and life benefits for their criminal activity.
London is anticipated apt grow into a major international trading center for RMB. [File photo]
“Offshore trading,” “Renminbi” and “China’s economic growth” were the words frequently listened at”City Week 2012,” a contempo international forum aboard financial services held in London.
During his visit to China in January, British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne shoved forward the development of the offshore RMB market and announced plans to establish London into a major international trading navel for RMB.
The policy,first launched last September during Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan’s visit apt Britain,namely a advisable fantasy,but has a long and complicated course to go.
Bright prospect
With the endless quantitative easing policy of the U.S.administration after the breakout of the financial emergency in 2008, investors have suffered a lot from the depreciation of U.S.USD hoping the market tin diminish dependence aboard the greenpaper.
Meanwhile, the debt emergency in Europe has fabricated the euro, the world’s anew major reserve currency go weak.
“The Renminbi, as a throne money has the greatest latent to chanced the third international currency said Professor Kate Phylaktis from Cass Business School in London.
HSBC Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver predicted RMB longing transformed one of the world’s three bishop keep currencies among 15-20 years as the U.S.dollar loses its clutch with investors.
Noting fast growth in offshore RMB accounts in Hong Kong since China easeful controls last annual Gulliver said, “We may be at the brink of a financial revolution.”
China’s indoors bank has been working harder to internationalize its money as a couple of years, implementing pilot schemes to dilate RMB marts signing currency barter agreements with other countries, as well as negotiating overseas loans denominated in RMB.
Li Jiange, Chairman of China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC),tour Beijing, said, “We need to be convertible sooner rather than behind The benefits are evident I count we ought speed it up.”
London, as the better foreign-exchange trading navel in the world,longing benefit a lot from RMB trading.
It would grant private banks and things managers apt invest in the rapidly affectionate Chinese currency aboard behalf of their clients without needing a physical base in Asia.
British banks and financial service institutions increasingly want to commerce in the RMB, seeing this as a rapidly growing market in alien exchange and bond issuance, said British Treasury admiral As matter of fact many private banks, including Barclays Wealth, DBS, HSBC Private Bank, OCBC, are yet offering RMB productions and services.
For Britain, it ambition requite a increase either apt business and jobs in the City and to the medal of London as a universal financial navel.
In addition, it ambition bring some comfort apt international bankers based in London,much of whom were worried that the Britain’s position in the single market — which they mention namely the bishop reason they work in the City — could be put at hazard by Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to deny corrections to the EU treaty.
What may matter maximum in a global context,namely that this would be watched as a beyond step aboard the road towards abatement of China’s control of the RMB amount and aboard king streams.
Long access apt go
Although Osborne, the City and some bank giants have drawn a aflush image for London to become an international navel of RMB trading, the access ahead still remains long and complicated,considering some of the problems are perplexing apt solve in near appellation.
China and Britain have never signed money swap accession and likewise a abounding internationalization of RMB is necessary.
A abounding convertibility of RMB want be a bit-by-bit and a long process, demanding a mature and developed financial system which permits open-up to capital inflows and allows servant investors apt send money abroad.
Good news as London is that since 2009, China has been gradually loosening restrictions on the money,allowing companies to use RMB to settee cross-border trades and to launch investment productions in RMB.
London longing work harder to contest with Hong Kong,flush with Singapore for the offshore centre If Beijing chooses London, it can never only get the euro-dollar experience,but also 24-hour universal currency trading opportunities.
Xia Bin,one advisor to China’s indoors bank,trusted in the short term London could position itself as a preeminent RMB trading navel as Europe.
“In three to five years,whether London works hard it aspiration be the offshore trading centre as European purchasers,while Hong Kong ambition account Asian clients he said.
Though not formal plans accept been announced additionally officials accept confirmed that China was looking to construct a third offshore RMB clearing bank except those in Hong Kong and Macao. Having a clearing bank to activity the functions of a regional offshore indoors bank is a key prerequisite for starting a deliverable money market.
The RMB has to be held onward other countries as emigrant exchange reserves and adapt forward international markets as one investment currency to accomplish absolute internationalization, a process which the RMB has by far started The realization of RMB internationalization ambition greatly rely aboard China’s economic power, and the U.S.USD has spent decades to complete the journey.
As the RMB is still never entirely convertible, the pool of redback deposits in London is limited The size or clamminess of the RMB is still quite small,ambience banned aboard how much can be transacted just now.
RMB offshore center can’t be congenital in one day,yet the long and complicated road leads to a beaming anticipation The RMB would be aboard its access apt appropriate a fitting globally-traded money commensurate with China’s status as the world’s second biggest economy.
Welfare, affirmative action, whole city bailouts; countless millions spent on crime prevention mostly due to blacks; the prison population due to their high crime rates and violent actions while using drugs; funneling money down a rat hole because blacks usually don’t want to learn a damn thing in public schools; countless Head Start programs; diversity training that costs every institution in the U.S. millions and is completely one-sided, there is no two way communication or attempt at respecting both sides(whites)…………….>>>
That and other things costs plenty of tax dollars.
blocking progress way
LOL!
If only I could block your posts…
but I am unable to block or impede any kind of conversation here.
All I can try to do is point out the behavior of the Little Eichmanns who praise the “courage and bravery” of the USA military night raids that have killed 1,500 civilians in Afghanistan in the last 10 months, according to the USA’s own military records.
President Barack Obama’s military attacks against Libya constitute acts of war.
Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-4) had the following exchange with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates during a March 31, 2011 House Armed Services Committee Hearing on the legality of the present military operation in Libya:
Congressman Forbes: Mr. Secretary, if tomorrow a foreign nation intentionally, for whatever reason, launched a Tomahawk missile into New York City, would that be considered an act of war against the United States?
Secretary Gates: Probably so.
Congressman Forbes: Then I would assume the same laws would apply if we launched a Tomahawk missile at another nation—is that also true?
Secretary Gates: You’re getting into constitutional law here and I am no expert on it.
Congressman Forbes: Mr. Secretary, you’re the Secretary of Defense. You ought to be an expert on what’s an act of war or not. If it’s an act of war to launch a Tomahawk missile on New York City would it not also be an act of war to launch a Tomahawk missile by us at another nation?
Secretary Gates: Presumably.
Like an 800 pound gorilla the USA has bombed and invaded dozens of countries. I can provide the list and the dates. But like Jimmy Cliff said: The Bigger They Come the Harder They Fall.

That and other things costs plenty of tax dollars.
Attempts to provide public safety by imprisoning Blacks, attempts to educate, attempts to feed, attempts to provide low-cost housing, attempts to provide gainful employment, all that costs money, you are correct.
Are you equating money spent on trying to help American citizens with money spent on the military to murder civilians after kicking in the doors of civilian residences and terrifying children at 2:00 a.m.?
I deny there is ANY KIND of moral equivalency.
The money, energy, and time that has been spent on the black community for 60 years at least and they are more hostile and dangerous to whites NOW…..now especially when the first part black president was elected due in large part to white people.
They see vulnerability and they attack. They are worse than soldiers because they aren’t doing a job or their duty, and there isn’t a legitimate target for them.
BTW, you do know that there are Afghans that can be considered Caucasoid. They often have green, blue eyes, sometimes even somewhat fair skin and hair. They also aren’t fond of outsiders and multiculti. No mixing tribes for them. That’s actually why they are so difficult to fight and always have been.
“Both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Romney, then, are fake deficit hawks. And the evidence for their fakery isn’t just their bad arithmetic; it’s the fact that for all their alleged deep concern over budget gaps, that concern isn’t sufficient to induce them to give up anything — anything at all — that they and their financial backers want. They’re willing to snatch food from the mouths of babes (literally, via cuts in crucial nutritional aid programs), but that’s a positive from their point of view — the social safety net, says Mr. Ryan, should not become “a hammock that lulls able-bodied people to lives of dependency and complacency.” Maintaining low taxes on profits and capital gains, and indeed cutting those taxes further, are, however, sacrosanct.” — Paul Krugman
Hostile and dangerous? In your imagination, Tark.
You say: “they are more hostile and dangerous to whites NOW” but the evidence says violent crime is going down. What you are saying makes no sense given the actual fact of declining violent crime.

You see, as the economy worsened, crime went down. Just the opposite of what the doomers predict.

I understand the visceral fear of prejudice.
Race, color, gender. Its all alive and well. Sad though. We’re such stupid animals. As JHK says, “comical”.

So, while I’ve learned how to conserve more and more and use less and less energy, and try to pretend that folks will smarten up and at least CONSIDER a transition to a far lower energy standard, I don’t really believe anything will be attempted til the wall is hit at full throttle (in the holy name of suicidal growth of course).

I totally agree. The idea that the pollyannas here and elsewhere are trying to promulgate, that we’re “working on it”, is total bullshit. In California, you still have an enormous amount of white trash making insane commutes in SUVs in the Central Valley and East Bay where traffic is monstrous and air quality is like Burbank.
We’re still partying like it’s 1999, to quote Prince, and even Dubya knows “this sucker’s going down”. All efforts to transition to ANYTHING reasonable are absolutely token and piecemeal.

Science is a short story, the greatest invention of all will also be the last invention of the Human Race, we will EXIT this world in a jiffy, in a moment and we will be gone (or is it the world as we know it, decode it and format it going to be gone ?).
“We have to discover/understand it before we can re-invent it.”
There is no IT. There is no objective reality, there are only subjective events and sensations, each person a point like event happening in a moment and nothing else.
You can go the route of trying to discover “How the Brain Works” and learn all of the repetitive patterns and rules, and especially keep on applying your logic and implied outside reality world and implied objective reality world (implied because you think your Man Brain and Experience and Your Life experience somehow represents the ONE Objective, Invariant Reality when it is just a random quirk of sensations and mental models and memories of things and sets of events and actions and reactions a randomly designed Observer experiences with no Truth or Objectivity or Deeper Knowledge than any Cartoon World and Simulator you can invent) and then manipulate a new brain accordingly, but you would never know :
1) What exactly the new brain would experience with your “logic” applied to it, since applying your logic, the logic of your world and brain to a new brain would be to make believe that all brains and any observer must operate accordingly, according to something you already know, the new brain as formatted or as designed according to another brain, but since there is no Ultimate Objective Brain, they are all random subjective, arbitrary quirks, you would just be mixing brain styles and the corresponding universes with them. A observes and manipulates B but B could also observe and manipulate A, but both A and B are arbitrary relative quirks and flukes, neither is an absolute reference system, so since there are no absolute reference systems, all brains are just a quirk and random design not containing any truth or any reality at all, just designs, just Information Relationships;
2) How your own brain and world would appear to the modified mind, how it would interpret it, how it would like to apply its “logic” or rules to your own brain, and would like “to see how your own brain works and what happens by manipulating it” and such.
The point is that modifying the Brain and Designing a new brain is such a total and radical departure from anything ever done before, that there is no point of contact between what the new brain and its corresponding universe and new laws of physics observes with what we observe: they are so different and so disjoint, that simple any random and wild manipulation of a brain is equivalent, is equally logical, is equally correct since there is no longer any correct or incorrect operating, there is no longer any logic operating, any history, and connection to anything we model in our mind.
It is the End of Science and the beginning of completely new worlds, there is no longer any linear accumulation of knowledge since the Measuring device containing the accumulated knowledge (our brain) is no longer a fixed and stable invariant item, but a variable, unstable, new Observer open to any events, any interpretations and actions and reactions, and therefore totally alien from us, the most extremely alien and different from us than you can possibly imagine.
What happens when you change the Observer of the Universe ? You also change the universe totally and completely and you discover that there is no fixed universe, only an infinite array of possible observers and universes without any direction, or history, or reference system, not even the reference system of time and space, since time and space is done away with completely in many new types of Observers.
We may approach these experiments very gradually, with very small changes and with simulated universes, since the departure from what we know would be too radical and sudden for our Man Brain to accept and Decode…
“I mean really do have mastery over nature, then sure.”
There is no “nature” and there is no “mastery of nature”, only new designs, new wild and wicked Man Brains doing things completely unknown and alien from us…stick wild chemicals and wild signals in the Man Brain, shove a V8 engine in the Man Brain crazily and irrationally, make a mess, don’t use logic, use ART, make it jump in a new universe…
Oh, what I wrote is all wrong, I am using my logic to disprove my logic and such, so cool, how I love to contradict myself constantly, WORSHIP CONTRADICTION, THE HIGHER MODE OF REASONING, BE WRONG ALWAYS, BE AS WRONG AS POSSIBLE!
THE APE MAN, ALL CONTRADICTIONS ARE OPERATING, ALL OF THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND FALSE AND ANYTHING IN BETWEEN, ETC…
Historicalnotebook projects have never been done “all at once” … your pessimism distorts reality. In reality even the longest journey begins with a single step, the Great Wall of China began with a single brick, etc.
For you to label any effort piecemeal is shortsighted.
^Historically no big projects have ever been done “all at once”^
P2C you just have to keep prodding and poking don’t you.
Thank you for making my Memorial Day so memorable by repeating the genuflector comment. So much for honouring those who served, or do you believe that only goes as far as those who served in US uniform and not those who served right alongside them in coalition forces (often in the same formations). Does being US born give you a monopoly on honour too, along with access to that god who is only ever invited to bless the United States of America? (Man, I have seen those words uttered by a US senior officer when finishing an address to an assembled group of troop, 60% of whom were NOT wearing the US flag – that went over VERY well…)
OK, you got me. I don’t read all of Asoka’s comments, nor those of anyone else after you’ve all strayed so far off the topic that you completely drown JHK’s original post.
My comment that used the word ‘enlightening’ was based on what I read up until Tuesday evenings. I made a tactical error when I stepped in between you two and I acknowledge that, but I had witnessed a pre-emptive attack on what I believed to be a reasonable comment…
“Damn, asoka., you’re an argumentative idiot – the ultimate troll, when it comes to previously discussed questions.
‘Good luck trying to barter gold or silver for food. You can’t eat gold or silver.’ – the RI, aka the AI, aka, The Ultimate Troll –
If gold, silver, and barter fail, I understand that Argumentative Idiots are quite nutritious when slow roasted,…..” P2C
If you follow the failure of wealth as we know it, to its ultimate conclusion, then you must agree that gold and silver will be nigh on useless to someone hungry and equally useless to somebody with large stocks of food – why would you want to give away real wealth for some rocks?
For that transgression I get labeled a “sock puppet”
(thanks Q – still wondering if you’d like to retract that…)
and a “genuflector”
(thanks P2C – I’m starting to wonder why I used to think you were a reasonable, intelligent contributor and not just another name-caller on this increasingly vitriolic comments page)
I usually can’t be bothered reading beyond the moment I see comments break into racism or partisan politics. It depresses me that humanity is faced with a trliogy of major crises which only a few can see for what they are, and then those few expend their energy fighting among themselves over the colour of their skin, eyes, hair or the flavour of their elected representatives.
If we are to make any progress towards the (presumed) goal of survival of some semblance of human civilisation against threats from many flanks, then we must be united; for divided we are bound to fall.

Sayeth Jesus, the Son of Man, the King of the Jews:
“Then why the fuck are you still in this universe? Why don’t you just change your brain already and go somewhere else? You talk about it like it’s so easy, so do it. Bye.”
The APE JOB replies:
It has already been done, just the thought of the Instant Singularity creates it (the old fashion “Technological Singularity” with computers designing themselves into ever smarter minds into an oblivion and singularity is substituted with the New Instant Singularity that just instantly cracks open skulls and sticks wild stuff in the Brain to make it become “Something Else”, etc.), just the thought modifies Minds and creates a new universe, a new reality, the thought creates the new big bang and a new universe, the idea and concept disconnects the mind and the Observer from any underlying physics and all elementary particles, the thought modifies the Observer which renders reality no longer dependent on True or False, Real or Fake, it renders reality independent of the Material substrate, nay, it changes the material substrate into some other kind of material, etc. A New Big Bang.
So it has been done, is being done, the rock on the floor is a New Brain executing a new world, even if this is not true, because it no longer depends on being true, or any categories or logic of your puny mind Jesus, Son of Man, King of the Jews. Now go on and tell your father, GOD, that the rules have changed now, tell him that something else is in control, the someone else is in now in charge. Now, crack open your skull and shove wild stuff in it.
So you see, it is really easy, just imagine a new mind in your thought and brain and execute it and you enter a new Universe. AMEN.

APE APESTERAPE APESTER 8 MAN EIGHT THE EIGHT
I entered this whole peak oil thing through the side door, if you will. I stumbled upon Dmitry Orlov’s 5 stages of collapse in late 2008 (after I bought a ninja Shelby Cobra and souped it up to 1,200 HP and did all this remodeling….now I wished I had sold everything I have to buy a few acres with woods and well water deep in the country….but I did sell the killer Cobra while some fool from the land of nascar was more than eager to buy it. If knowing that the soon to be former USA was going to collapse, getting caught going 180 mph on I-696 and getting off the hook scot free was all the incentive I needed to dump the car). Reading the 5 stages of collapse was like getting struck by lightning. I had studied peak oil and energy and fossil fuel depletion, how it’s used, how dependent we are on it, what life will be like without it, and the die off that will claim billions of souls and trigger conflict and massive global warfare as the carrying capacity of the earth for humans was artificially swelled from 1 billion souls to now some 7 billion souls, with 70 million consumers being born each day.
Since the 5 stages, I read both versions of Orlov’s Reinventing Collapse, then one day after the dickheads where I work restored my OT, had some spare change leftover and read Michael Ruppert’s “Confronting Collapse” and watched his DVD, JHK’s “The Long Emergency”, and Richard Heinberg’s “The Party Is Over” and after re-reading them and cross referncing them, have started on Heinberg’s “The End Of Growth”. After I finish my landscaping, am eager to buy World Made by Hand and The Witches of Hebron. All of these seers have something to say, and if you read them all one stands a great chance to really see what lays ahead….a cliff, an iceberg.
What I am getting at is that JHK was not the only one who predicted a crash happening in 2008. Dmitry Orlov implied that it could happen suddenly, even overnight. Trends forecaster Gerald Celente was saying any day now. The fact that these men may have been off a couple of years does not mean that their messages were not well taken by the few of us who did listen. Nobody knew how the US petro dollar joyride would continue on the sheer inertia of the well entrenched power of the dollar, and along with the merger of corporate and state power and them tossing in the kitchen sink, were able to postpone the great day of reckoning, the prolonged and deadly hangover that will linger for many decades after the party is over, the joyride has crashed, the ship has sunk and there were way to few lifeboats
There are those of us who read, listen, learn, and try to think outside the box. The majority of other folks, unfortunately, are like the zombies from Night Of The Living Dead…sleep walking, as JHK describes it. They unfortunately will get blind sided, especially middle aged men whose egos are so intertwined with the system. They will snap, along with those who were dependent on austerity programs
I agree in principle but given the magnitude of the human catastrophe that lurks just ahead, do you really think voting will make a difference? How relevant will the federal government, the president, and all that other horse crap seem when our new priorities in life will be chopping fire wood and growing food? If they are still around, and let us hope not, their voices will seem like distant pleas in the wilderness
Some of the major reasons for US troops in Afghanistan. Help control the heroin trade so the CIA can fund its black ops and Wall Street can stay afloat. Other reasons…..the minerals and resources of that country are immense, and the US is likely trying to prevent the Chinese from getting a foot hold there
You are right. America’s obesity epidemic will be cured in the years to come in ways they never thought possible. If the government should prove to be so charitable, let alone efficient, to hand out blocks of cheese and loafs of stale bread (maybe Ramen noodles for special occasions like Thanksgiving or the x-tian holidays)in a post collapse america (I wouldn’t hold my breath), then gone will be the high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, and other poisons/toxins to the body and its CNS that are major suspects in the obesity epidemic. Also, while people are deprived of the McUnhealthy fast food way of life and start growing their own food using hand tools and chopping their own firewood to stay warm in the winter, americans will lsowly and painfully whither away their body fat till the point where they resemble those others from the “third world”, only third world people may fare better because they have had hundreds of thousands of years to adjust to it. Americans are going to wish those HD flat screen televisions are sleek new Camaros and Corvettes were edible, along with their stash of gold and other “precious” metals. Food, water, and shelter will be the new priorities in a soon to collapse USA

Asoka is a fool. I see that he’s still busy, judging by the comments of others. I never read his drivel either since everything he says is pretty much a cliche’. He’s PC to the extreme and a smarmy troll.

****************************************************************
Why don’t you save one of your fifty posts per day for a worthier effort than this? What you say above says NOTHING because ALL human efforts, large and small, have a BEGINNING. So what?
The point is that our efforts to change to a different kind of society, a sustainable society, MUST be VERY large if we are to survive. When one examines the roadways, one sees the same old nationwide urban/suburban traffic jams, the same old SUVs and crossovers, and the same gasoline power as thirty years ago.
Look at hybrid vehicles. Since their inception in the United States in 1999, 2.3 million hybrid vehicles TOTAL have been sold in the USA up ’til April of 2012. Compare this to the total of number of individual-owned vehicles sold since 1999 which is roughly 150 million units. So our whopping [sic] commitment at the individual level is 1.6% of total sales??? And it took 13 years to develop this level of commitment.
Once again, you make some airy-fairy pollyanna pronouncement with your usual air of “final authority” … designed to put down us “pessimists” who are nothing more than respecters of data.
In other areas of American life, we are also barely nipping around the edges of the energy problem though it’s been an issue in the public eye for a couple of decades. Even the most optimistic non-profit green energy watchdogs say that by year 2025, only TEN PERCENT of total US utility output will be SOLAR by that time. Thirteen more years to GET TO TEN PERCENT?
Dude, in thirteen years, theoildrum.com says that the world will reach a point where we cannot fill all the gas tanks, heating oil tanks, and airplanes.
You read the data given above and it spells PIECEMEAL and TOKEN. By the time the IEA says the world goes petroleum-critical, by the most OPTIMISTIC estimates of green, non-profit data shops we get to TEN percent of electric power produced by solar (we now produce around 0.5% of our energy from solar).
What’s most comical are these guesstimates for the year 2050. Please. Twenty-fifty? As if we have that kind of LEISURE to deal with our energy problems.
At the individual, state, and national levels our commitment to wholesale conversion to alternative energies is MINIMAL and incredibly LEISURELY. Jerry Brown’s commitment to having 33% of California’s power from alternative sources by 2020 is absurd since it relies on revenue sources that bankrupt California doesn’t even remotely have. I live here in La-La Land and the budget projections of all these “green” politicians have been pathetic.
By the time that the IEA, theoildrum.com, and most soberminded reporting authorities estimate, the world energy situation goes critical in 13 years (that’s the OPTIMISTIC estimate, by the way. Many esteemable authorities have it at EIGHT years based on depletion rates). Meantime, you have all these “optimistic” accounts for vehicles and utilities to have 10% altfuel conversions by then.
If this doesn’t represent a piecemeal, have-hearted, nipping-around-the-edges-of-the-problem effort then I don’t know what does.

I had heard that Hendrix was murdered, that the J Edgar Hoover’s FBI and other agencies that have spied and continue to spy on american people were concerned over the Hippie movement teaming up with the Civil Right’s movement, and Jimi certainly had the ability to unite the two camps just by playing his guitar, without saying a word. It certainly was a dangerous time to be liberal or anti establishment in the 60s, just as it once again becoming.
There was still new rock coming on the radio in the late 70s/early 80s, only it sucked major dick. The Cars, talk about a bunch of dipshits. One hit wonder the Knack, whose singer should have been on Ritalin or not let some fag squeeze his nuts when he was singing that shitty, repetitive song “my sharona” (I liked Cheech and Chong’s rendition of “my scrotum” much better. Lemme torture myself and think of some of the other dogshit that kids in high school were listening to. AC/DC, play the same chords over again but call it a different song, like ZZ Top. Zeppelin was still popular, if only Robert Plant hadn’t fucked up many of those songs trying to sound “sexy” when in fact it makes him sound like a faggot. Joe Jackson “is she really going out with him”. Perhaps a case of penis envy, this loser looked like the class nerd in school whom every picked on, beat up, stole his lunch money, and stuck his head in the toilet bowl (the good old fashioned “swirlie”). Aerosmith went flat and never recovered, in my opinion. The WHO was never the same without Keith Moon (and a flaming fuck you to all those who somehow are stupid enough to think that Paul Starkey is any replacement for Keith Moon….he just kinda looks like Moon, his playing is anemic if not lame compared to Keith). Rush came out with some good stuff but Carl Palmer and Simon Phillips are better drummers than Neil Peart. Speaking of Simon Phillips, that ever so fucking annoying band Toto (talk about a fuckin retarded name for a band) had that annoying “hit” “hold the line”, and maybe one or two mediocre numbers after that, to think that a talent like Simon Phillips has been wasted since he took a full time slot as Toto’s drummer…so sad, such a waste. The emergence of SRV was a bright spot on the dull and dying rock horizon in the early 80s, and guitar wizard Frank Marino was still touring and blowing people’s minds, but for the most part, music from the late 70s sucked and didn’t get any better in the 80s and up until the present. Like peak oil, we had peak rock say in the late 60s, the bumpy plateau was the 70s, but we still had Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, ELP, Yes, etc but that started to fizzle by the late 70s and has since more or less depleted. My wife corrected me. That freak show that played the super bowl after the WHO at 1/4 strength were the “black eyed peas” or some fucktard band like that.
I have heard rumors that there were lots of great guitarists and progressive bands in the late 70s, they just got locked out of the new corporate conservative record industry, who much to my delight, are in their death throes. Die painfully, you crooked greedy cocksuckers
As best I know, Pete Townsend hasn’t had children stay over and sleep in his bed, nor has he ever been accused of inappropraitely touching minors. Kind of not in keeping with a man who was married and had kids naturally, not artificially inseminated in a test tube like that circus freak/king of drug addicts Michael Jackson and his shitty teeny bopper music. Your speculation that PT made excuses is just that…a presumption.
As far as the Blind Faith album, that girl was band member/drummer Ginger Baker’s daughter. I can only imagine that was part of that whole artistic movement that nudity and the human body were nothing to be ashamed of or to cover up. There are naked children in the Woodstock movie as well as in Led Zeppelin’s “The Song Remains The Same”, where Robert Plant’s young son and daughter were splashing around in a mountain stream naked. Are you ready to stand up for a known pedophile by accusing everyone at Woodstock and Robert Plant and his wife of being in the same boat as Michael Jackson?

Violent flashmobs are a brand new phenomena, Asoka. They’re racially motivated and 100% black.
Agreed, the 1980s would have been better off if Marshall Crenshaw or Tracy Chapman had been allowed to prosper and grow commercially as well as artistically, as well as bands like the Blasters. But hey, the record companies wanted to sell all those synth-dance records that were cheap to produce, right? Not to mention hip-hop records, defended by self-loathing white male critics who needed to find some way to validate their hipness!
But Hendrix being murdered? I don’t think the FBI was competent enough to carry that out, although I sometimes wonder about John Lennon, Bob Marley and Harry Chapin all dying within nine months of Ronald Reagan’s election to the Presidency – or, more appropriately, he was chosen to play the President!

Good Day, Bad Day: Golden Gonzalo trx force kit, Angry Unai and Awful Arizmendi
Tuesday 26 April 2011 10:52
Good Day
Barcelona
It was time for a spot of role reversal for Madrid and Barcelona on Saturday night. Pep’s Dream Boys were the team grinding out a narrow home win and scoring with their only shot on target, while the Forces of Mordor had whipped off their kit and were merrily running naked through the sprinklers of surprise with wonderful passing and six goals away from home.
And that’s probably because one team have perhaps the biggest and best squad in Europe and the other are completely knackered.
Gonzalo Higuaín
Anyone disliked by both Marca and the big Bernabeu bosses is a friend of LLL – and that’s why the blog has always been happy to hold Gonzalo’s hand, buy him a latte and call him a chum through his thick and thin spells at Real Madrid (and that’s not a reference to Sergio Ramos and Pepe).
Higuaín celebrated his ongoing return from a back injury with three goals, two assists and a hearty hair ruffle of approval from LLL. The blog has yet to deliver the third part but it has two bites at the Gonzalo cherry on Wednesday and Saturday at the Santiago Bernabeu. Security permitting.
Iker Muniain
Another goal for that loveable little scamp, Iker Muniain, gave Athletic a victory in a typically feisty derby against Real Sociedad and leaves them just six points off the still wobbling Villarreal with five games to go. Chin-strokingly interesting stuff, especially because LLL predicted back in August that Athletic would grab fourth spot this season.
Atlético Madrid
Another trip to the Vicente Calderón for LLL on a Sunday evening and another comfy-as-cushions victory for Atlético Madrid, who are squatting in seventh and hugging a four point gap over Espanyol. As with the clash against Real Sociedad a fortnight ago, Atleti only looked troubled for twenty minutes and came out on top with a 4-1 win, even with Juanfran and Raul García playing.
Michael Laudrup
The victory over Getafe for Mallorca didn’t exactly make the front pages in Spain but it was still an important one as it puts Mallorca on 42 points with five games to spare – not bad going for a team in administration and shorn of all it’s half-decent players over the summer.
“We can now play the last five games without anxiety, tension and perhaps try to get as far up the table as possible,” announced the Great Dane in what sounds like great news for Racing, Villarreal, Hércules, Almería and Atlético Madrid – Mallorca’s final opponents.
Sporting
It was a truly awful week for Manuel Preciado which saw the death of the Sporting’s coach’s father in a road accident – another tragedy to go alongside the death of his wife through cancer in 2002 and of his son in other car accident two years later.
But his players responded on Sunday to perhaps cheer him up slightly with a 1-0 victory to lift Sporting to 42 points and probably safety. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to return such love,” said Preciado of his players. “The hard work from this dressing room is the most I’ve had as a coach.”
Julio Baptista
A veritable humdinger of an opening strike against Racing helped Málaga to a 2-1 win and a second victory on the trot. The Beast has returned just in time with three goals in two games that sees Málaga three points away from the relegation zone.
Hércules
A 1-0 win over Deportivo but still going down (grumble, grumble, grumble).
Bad Day
Valencia
The Mestalla massive are not the must understanding bunch at the best of times fred perry, so it was not wholly unsurprising that the home crowd were all with the Ever Banega on Saturday evening by bringing out the hankies and tissues. But this time there was very little pleasuring involved.
Valencia’s finest moment was perhaps the dithering from Jeremy Mathieu to allow Gonzalo Higuaín’s first goal of three. Or perhaps it was Unai Emery’s Stormin’ Norman impression after the game which made the stadium’s foundations rumble and crumble. “I don’t understand how we can be so aggressive against Villarreal and do nothing against Madrid,” fumed Unai. “We were a joke. A big joke.”
Villarreal
Another defeat this weekend but if Villarreal make it to the Europa League final and grab fourth spot then the recent losses in this final section of the season would all have been worth it.
Sevilla
Yes, it was a handy win for Sevilla in their Europa League chase, but LLL really can’t believe that the ball boys acted of their own initiative by chucking balls onto the pitch to disrupt the play and refusing to hand them to the Villarreal players, as happened with Diego López who even appeared to push one of the little blighters over at one point.
“Disgraceful,” blasted Alvaro Negredo. “This isn’t the behaviour of a senior team,” noted Diego Capel.
LLL disagrees. This is exactly the kind of behaviour you'd expect from a side whose players spend a large amount of their time hurling themselves to the ground and faking injuries to get an advantage, so it’s no surprise that the ball boys are in on the act too.
Oh yes. LLL forgot – Sevilla have done this before in February's clash against Hércules…
…see?
Espanyol
A third defeat in five now sees Espanyol slipping from the European places, to the fringes of the European places to quite a long way from the European places.
Deportivo
“A game of few goals as Deportivo were one of the teams” – Gol TV commentator proving that it isn’t just LLL cracking cheap jokes at Dull Deportivo’s expense during the Galician team’s 1-0 defeat at Hércules.
Racing, Real Sociedad
Defeats for both sides throws both teams back in the fringes of the relegation fight,
Javier Arizmendi
Two identical headed efforts from corners being conceded by Getafe were bad enough in the defeat to Mallorca, but a ball ballooned over the bar in front of an open goal by Javier Arizmendi was perhaps the low (or high, depending on how you yank your crank) light of Getafe’s defeat.
