Latest News from the Front

The picture above reminds me of Marie Antoinette’s quote “Let them eat brioche” (a type of cake) as the country is on fire. Here is the latest propaganda from the Obama Campaign Front.

Friend —

Today, President Obama stood on the Brent Spence Bridge that connects Ohio to Kentucky and spoke about how the American Jobs Act could help rebuild that bridge and thousands like it, and put construction workers and manufacturers back to work.

Anonymous Planning Day of Vengence

The following announcement from the hacker group Anonymous outlines a “Day of Vengence” on September 24th. Note to Anonymous: use a spell checker. Vengeance is misspelled as Vengence in your Communique. Also, it is “Guy Fawks” not “Guy Fawlkes”.

Communique From Anonymous  –  USA Day Of Vengence

Wednesday – September 21, 2011

On September 17, 2011 approximately 15,000 peaceful demonstrators in dozens of cities around the USA gathered, marched – and occupied public space to protest the unjust policies of the US government and the corruption in our financial institutions. The central protest site was in the financial district of New York City, where peaceful protesters faced phalanxes of heavily armed paramilitary police officers from local and federal jurisdictions. The arrests began almost immediately, many for violating the 1845 so called “mask” laws.

Wednesday Federal Reserve Action Explained – Frank Roche

Unless you were listening to CNBC or The Frank Roche Show (and I wasn’’t even on the air), the talking heads are struggling to explain the Fed action taken yesterday, 9/21/2011.  Allow me. 

As they do eight times per year, the Federal Reserve’’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) met this week to discuss the economy and adjust monetary policy accordingly.  The FOMC is a group of 12 members of the Federal Reserve.  The group includes 7 members of the Board of Governors, including the Chairman, Ben Bernanke (each governor is appointed by the President and approved by Congress), the President of the NY Fed (NY Fed is the “”trading desk”” for the Federal Reserve system), and 4 regional Federal Reserve Presidents on a rotating basis (there are 12 Fed Banks around the country, for example: the Boston Fed, the NY Fed, the San Fran Fed, the Kansas City Fed). 

The Fed has a dual mandate:  Continue reading

We Live in a World that Is Changing at a Breathtaking Pace

The United Nations is essentially an expression of the moral nature of man’s aspirations?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfNZihRxdoM

I agree with Glenn Beck: The United States needs to get out of the United Nations and the United Nations needs to get out of the United States. There is nothing moral about the United Nations’ effort to institute Agenda 21 and One World Order through the guise of peace using surrogate leaders as shown above.

We do live in a world that is “changing” at a breathtaking pace. Continue reading

What Is Your Slavery Footprint?

Catchy title but slavery should never be tolerated in any form. Slavery ranges from full property where the slave’s owner can kill him or her without any repercussions through the confiscation/extortion of property at the other end. This last form where the “fruits of one’s labor” is taken without compensation is what led to the American Revolution.

The following video from an article on CNN Money shows an example of modern-day slavery through a form of indentured servitude.

I will not be buying any more Western Digital hard disks based on this information. Continue reading

Fear Is In The Air


The CBOE MKT VOLATILITY IDX (VIX) measures volatility in the stock market but it is generally called the fear index. If you had invested in fear on Monday morning, you would have realized a 34.21% profit in four days.

Playing  Monday morning quarterback is no way to live your life and this is not the point. While the “experts” will drone on about the meaning of volatility/fear in the market, this is not the time to wait and see.  The statement I commonly hear is “we have seen this before and the market always comes back”.

Really? Our national debt precludes an economic recovery without draconian spending cuts. Continue reading

Obama’s Views on Climate Change, Corruption and Open Government

This portion of Obama’s address to the United Nations today covers climate change, corruption and open government. It may be a prelude to his defense if he is called to testify at the Solyndra hearings.

“Together we must work together to transform the energy that powers our economy” would be called a Bushism three years ago. Continue reading

Obama’s Position on a Palestinian State

President Obama gave the following speech today at the United Nations concerning American support of a Palestinian State. Although he is hedging his position until after meetings with both the leaders of the Palestinian Authority and Israel, it appears that he is leaning toward supporting Israeli security interests at this time.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdKeSvupQk0

One representative of the Palestinian delegation is shown shaking his head near the end of the speech (5.52 minutes). Why do the Palestinian people deserve their own country (state)? There has never been a Palestine in history.

I agree with Obama that “Peace is Hard Work” but peace in the Middle East will never be accomplished through compromise. Continue reading

Bernanke’s Hail Mary?

The Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting results will be announced today. Ben Bernanke’s arsenal is running low to revive the world’s economy. The rumors before the announcement are that he will institute “Operation Twist” which was last used in the 1960s.

As French banks are borrowing money to survive (from the Fed), will France will thrown into the PIIGS’ sty next? The Federal Reserve is now trying to implement policies to save both the United States and Europe. Operation twist may well be the final tool left to accomplish this but no one believes it will be effective.

“Occupy Wall Street” is an ongoing protest in New York. Here is a post from Anonymous:

Search: “OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTERS’ ARRESTS” @youtube.com

Wow,
this sickens me. These are our fellow brothers and sisters, may I say. Just look at what America has come to. This is how we treat our people? For Christs’ sake..

We are Anonymous.

And we will not stand for this.

I say to you, this will backfire tenfold. Help our fellow brothers and sisters.

Spread this video.
(I do not support, advise, or condone violence in any way. We are truly no better than these pigs if we become violent. Peace is the only way.

Peace is the only way to achieve what goal?

What Would Change Our Behavior?

Stephen Lerner wants to create a crisis to achieve his goals:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuFRq4sKInc

The goals are to change our behavior and create a new world. What is his time frame? Now.

Advocating civil unrest to generate crises around the country to destroy our banking institutions should be mainstream news. Is Occupy Wall Street the first crisis?

Obama Goes on the Defensive: Launches Investigation of FoxNews

As the Obama administration has become ensnared in a Solyndragate investigation, Congressman Darrell Issa has launched another investigation for LightSquared in what looks like an expanding cash for political contributions scandal.

Issa, Republicans investigate LightSquared donations

Citing concerns over alleged White House influence in dispersing loans,  California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa announced that the House Oversight and  Government Reform Committee would begin an investigation into the wireless  startup LightSquared.

On C-SPAN’s Washington Journal Tuesday morning, Issa, who chairs the  Oversight Committee, named LightSquared along with the embattled solar energy  company Solyndra as examples of “crony capitalism.”

“I want to see when the president and his cronies are picking winners and  losers,” he explained, “that it wasn’t because there were large contributions  given to them.”

Papers, Please

“Papers, Please” was a common request of German citizens during World War II. Everyone had to have proper documentation at all times in order to function on a daily basis. In the United States, our government has transformed the simple request of identification for illegal aliens stopped by police and at the voting booth to be actually illegal.

As Day 4 of “Occupy Wall Street” is now in place with little coverage by the media, papers (identification) are required in order to even enter a public street in America. It would appear that “Papers, Please” depends on the situation: financial business is more important than national security, voting or community protection.

Is it possible that the people organizing “Occupy Wall Street” are correct in their assertion of the power of big banks in the United States? When the day comes that access to public streets is limited without any legal justification, we have a duty to oppose this abuse of power. Freedom does not apply to some of us: it applies to all of us.
