A Madness Insufferable

.
At a critical moment in history, our government could have chose to bail out the people. But instead, it chose to spend trillions of dollars in borrowed money that the American people are on the hook for, bailing out the very gangsters who got us into the mess. The very gangsters that have the American people by the throat.

And where is the President of the United States? Why he's standing before the UN, making an enemy OUT OF A GAS!

The trace element C02, which we exhale, at these levels (far less than 1% of our atmosphere) could not even cause Global Warming. Not to mention, what we're actually experiencing is GLOBAL COOLING!

Meanwhile bankruptcies and foreclosures are at record levels. Unemployment still rising. And the mainstream financial media and Wall Street economists are looking at a bunch of phony baloney government ginned up numbers and telling us happy days are here again.

We've sewn the seeds of a massive calamity. We had a chance between October 2008 and April 2009 to do what was right. That was our 6 month window. When the people are in the street tearing down this nation, it will have been that 6 month period that sewed the seeds. Our government chose the gangsters over us. And the bought-and-paid-for cheerleaders of the gangsters are telling us "move along, nothing to see here, everything hunky-dory." Meanwhile we sit on the verge of a worldwide meltdown. Nothing less than a loss of the republic is soon at hand.

Only one solution would have worked. All major banks needed to collapse in 2008, followed by massive debt forgiveness, followed by running the banksters out of town on a rail and never letting them back. Instead, we took our very future and used it to bail the sons of bitches out.

And these unbelievable asinine idiots are out there are railing AGAINST A GAS!

It is a madness insufferable. Idiots throwing away our nation on their idiocy.

The protesters were in the wrong place

.
The last thing you want to do is start a protest arms race with the left. They have the best of both worlds - on one hand they have the media, who will always accuse conservative protesters of being a bough and paid for mob, and on the other they have several bought and paid for armies of their own who will show up wherever and whenever, once the email orders hit their in-box. A Sorros, Greenpeace, Huffington, Daily Kos, ACORN, and who knows who else bought and paid for bunch conditioned over the years to show up on command.

The conservatives should have been on Wall Street. It was the banksters that walked away with 2 trillion unaccounted for dollars. It was the Fed, and the banksters who perpetrated the biggest reverse bank robbery in world history.

The protesters should have been in New York, on a weekday. Forming a symbolic human chain around Goldman and the Federal Reserve. Saying to those folks, "You're not going in there to create more bundled derivatives so the American people can get stuck with the bill when the whole thing explodes, so you can get bailed out, and then do it again." Saying to the Fed "You're not going in there to secretly create more generational ponzi schemes that bailout the biggest crooks in history with money borrowed from future generations."

The action was in New York, instead, they go the Mall, the same tired, lame, overused and ignored place that all protesters go. The advocates of single payer healthcare could flood that Mall with twice as many protesters tomorrow if they wanted. Bad move, playing on someone else's turf.

Meanwhile, a protest against the real crooks on Wall Street would have had the liberals hamstrung. What were they going to do, start a counter pro Wall Street demonstration?

You had your moment in the sun Glenn Beck, you'll probably have more, but meanwhile you opened a can of worms against people who have a lot more worms than your side does. But most importantly, they all met to conduct a protest against the vagaries of "government spending," and blew an opportunity to focus with laser-like intensity on the single most obscene and disheartening event of the last 30 years - the bailout of the very crooks who have their foot on the neck of the American people. With zero accountability, Obama has allowed these thieves to walk off with the whole store.

New York is where the action is, what in God's name were you doing in Washington DC?

Yes, I too am a matzos ball eating, hook-nosed pot stirrer

.

For purpose of full disclosure, let me say first that I am full-blooded ethnically Jewish. My mother Ashkenazi and my father Sephardic (both have since passed). Religiously I am a Christian convert.

Now give me a second as that inoculation kicks in ......... OK there ... ready to continue!

For centuries, Old Europe relegated most usurious activity to Jews. Though oddly, most admonitions against usury are found in the Old Testament, whereas in the New, Jesus mentions usury as a natural fact of doing business and nowhere does he particularly rail against it per se. Thus Christians eschewed usury and forced it to the Jews, based on admonitions found in Jewish scriptures. One of many contradictions in that long and stormy relationship.

Thus European Jews played a critical role in the capitalization of those societies that contributed greatly to their economic vitalities. And for their thanks they were paid back with Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice - a parable about the Old Law vs. the New Faith, with Shylock as the embodiment of Jewish cruel-hearted stubborn adherence to the faithless Letter. This fiction centers around the unpleasant response of Shylock, the Jewish financier of three Christian merchant ships that met with tragedy on the seas. Never mind the hundreds of Jewish-financed ships that reality deliverd safely, to the great enrichment and betterment of European society, the public fixated on the mythical ships that fate never delivered, and the A1 SOB response that they came to belive is part of Jewish character.

But these notions are deep-rooted. The idea of "let the Jew do the financing" is ingrained deep in our European-based culture. Very often the hundreds of ships that do arrive safe will get the Jew little more than resentment for his profits, which are perceived as lecherous. But when the ship runs aground, and bankruptcy proceeding begin, the Jew gets it even worse, cast as the money-grubbing hooked-nosed vulture who loves nothing more than to take food from the poor Christian widow's mouth. The ruin of the Christian, the play tells us, is the Jew's delight.

Now fast forward to our Federal Reserve bank created in 1913. This is a horrible, secretive institution, not owned by the people (it is a private corporation paid for by the banks), not Constitutionally provisioned, that has carte blanche powers to control (or influence) our money supply and to set interest rates. And today it is running amok parking trillions of dollars to prop up failed institutions that have fleeced the American people. Indeed our mess traces directly to the Fed, that more than did it's part in making sure ridiculously cheap and never-ending credit blew up a housing bubble. They essentially blew up a housing bubble to try and mitigate the damage of the dot com bubble bursting, instead of letting the system run that crisis through, tough medicine though it would have been. Now the Fed is working overtime applying the same ponzi scheme solutions that got us into this mess - borrowing trillions from future generations to hide losses and sustain the unsustainable. The Fed is a dangerous institution, with powers that unambiguously should not exist. Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution plainly says that Congress shall have the sole authority to "Coin money and regulate the value thereof."

But Congress is more than happy to kick this political football over to the Fed, and turns a blind eye to it's secretive doings.

So where do the Jews come in? Well, most of the Chairman of the Federal Reserve have been Jewish. Most, sometimes all of it's board of governors are Jewish. But when the ships are coming in, everybody likes it this way. It gives them a sense of solidness to have that ancient race of the coin at the helm of this financial ship. But what about when the ships don't come in? Well, that's when everybody starts to "perceive" that when society is in chaos, and matters are getting all churned up, look close enough and you'll see a Jew stirring the pot.

Now my people have undeniably produced many a pot stirrer. Jesus, all his disciples, Einstein, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and many others. Some have stirred for good, some for bad. Whole thought systems, governances, economies, ways of life and theories of all kind have a substantial, if not total, Jewish root. But when the ships run aground, and the people take to the streets, as they may very well do soon right here in US, it won't be long until first the ugliest parts of our culture (which is already happening), then sooner or later the greater parts, start tearing themselves up searching for how we got into such a mess. And like always, standing there with a big wooden spoon will be a Jew, guilty as usual of stirring the pot.

But society delegated that role to him. Utterly abdicated it to him and loved him for it when times were good. And if a Jew has stirred the pot for the worse, how dare we forget all the times when the Jew stirred the pot for the better. And for centuries, we put the spoon in his hand, and made him do the work that Christian culture wouldn't or couldn't. Not to mention many hands are on the spoon, most not remotely Jewish.

U3 and let 'em eat cake

.

If Marie Antoinette were alive today, she'd be down with the U3 method of calculating unemployment. This method of calculation is cold-hearted, soulless and a downright infuriating insult to the American people. For it declares some of the worse off among us, those that have exhausted unemployment benefits and have given up looking as non-persons unceremoniously tossed out of numerator and denominator.

Perhaps economic calculations should indeed be soulless, but they shouldn't be Satanic, and the U3 calculation is.

It's simply a way to gin up a better looking number to report, by creating an ever-shrinking "eligible employment base," down to almost 59% of adults these days, from a high of 65% just a few years ago. This measure simply tosses those folks out of the base and recalculates. Poof - through modern day statistical witchcraft, hoards of our fellow Americans disappear. A potion no less offensive than that of the witches of Macbeth, whose brood called for "liver of blaspheming Jew."

By the end of 2009, 1.5 million Americans will be thus cooked out of the sauce. Look for some of theses government-declared non-people to be taking to the streets in food riots by Christmas.

Our government needs to stop hiding the truth in statistical chicanery. The closest measure we have to an apples-to-apples measure of comparison to the way we calculated unemployment during the Great Depression is the U6 method. The U6 method adds back in the discouraged lookers and those who have had to settle for crappy part-time work to put some food on the table. Even that measure does not adjust for the millions of people who are working but have had their hours and pay slashed, sometimes dramatically. By the U6 measure, unemployment isn't far from 18%, and is up in the low twenties in some cities. This is flirting with Great Depression territory, and our government and media needs to start being upfront about this. True, the U6 number is released every month, but it's the U3 that gets all the attention. A number that actually ticked down a tenth of a percent in July, even as 247,000 more Americans found themselves out of a job.

Let's start reporting honest numbers, using methods that would please a Teddy Roosevelt or Thomas Jefferson, and leave cold-hearted Marie, whose thoughtless inconsiderations have already been judged, to the ash heap of history where she belongs.

McCain down the drain

.
How often does one find himself critically positioned to effect history for the better? When the financial crisis exploded onto our attentions in 2008, John McCain was so positioned.

Hank Paulson wanted 700 billion dollars to prop up failure. To bailout the very bankster crooks who got us into this mess. All eyes were on McCain as he suspended his Sarah-rejuvenated campaign. Now was his chance to do the very kind of thing he had done throughout his career - take the maverick position against monumental waste and unfairness. Instead, he goes to Washington, sheepishly says "aye," and so co-opened the floodgates to Bailout Nation. As we began a course of not addressing the fundamental imbalances in the economy, but trying to ponzi scheme our way out of it. This time generational in scope - robbing future generations to prop up and bailout Modern Banking Nobility. Feudal lords of our land and coin, who through decades of psychological trickery have positioned their foot upon the American neck.

Not only was a "no" the right thing to do, but politically it would have been perfect. Who cares if a legacy-panicked George Bush was for it, W was a pimple in the polls anyway by that point. And Obama's whole campaign was about gluing Bush and McCain at the hip. And yet a McCain "no" would have left Barack Obama on the side of George Bush! Defending the absolutely indefensible. And Bailout Nation would then be Obama's albatross.

But at that critical juncture, when everyone was shell-shocked, looking for leadership, looking for someone to stand up and say "no way!" to the sick raping of the American people and lavish rewards to their rapists, and McCain was uniquely positioned to be that person, he tosses it all away. He had first and ten, and chose to punt! He had his chance to turn the tables on those money-changing rapscallions, and cast them clean out of our once sound Temple. Instead he invited them over for tea.

That was your chance Senator. Thanks for nothing, and enjoy Bailout Nation.

Predictions 9/1/2009 - 3/1/2010

.
I want to get these on the record now, calling them like I see them.

1. The American economy will recover nicely. The only problem though, is that the American economy is no longer here - we shipped it over to India and China. The fairytale fiasco we have left here will fall off a cliff. Bubble Blowing Ben Bernanke will ponzi around funny-money, keeping the GDP and markets puffed up for a bit, but the whole ponzinomics shell-game will fall on our heads. Look for a big stock market drop by mid-October and food riots by Christmas. Christmas sales will be the worst on record.

2. Very long, bitingly cold Winter in the East. At least 2 big Noreasters. This will make the swine flu particularly bad in the East. It will be bad nationwide, but nothing like 1918. Still, it will make the upcoming flu season about 3 times as deadly.

3. There will be no healthcare bill. We're due for a national "Oops" moment, when it falls on our heads that we're quarreling about healthcare with another Great Depression unfolding all around us. Healthcare will get put on hold.

4. The world will "decouple" from the US. A new world currency will be formed. The US, Britain will have a severe depression, Japan and Russia will a severe recession , Canada, Australia, Germany and France will have a medium-sized recessions, China and India will slow somewhat but maintain growth by expanding their domestic economies. The dollar will be in crisis, near worthless.

5. Widespread civil unrest will take place the second half of 2010 and accelerate in 2011, the next 6 months will lay the groundwork.

6. Look for a Republican "walkout" on Barack Obama at the Jan 20, 2010 State of the Union speech. This will be drummed up as racism by the media, and a cultural explosion will ensue.

Of pubes and radio

.

When I was 15ish, me and a friend would get stoned in this room off his bedroom called "The Studio." His dad owned an advertising agency, and the room was filled with cool surplus AV equipment.

On one such occasion, my friend brought the little rug that was in front of the desk, up on the desk and started inspecting it for pubes. He was in bliss, and it was a very funny occasion as he would pluck off pubes and separate them into little piles by name. There was the Linda pile, and the Denise pile, and I forget all who else pile. All the victims of his sexcapades since the last vacuuming were diagnosed and sorted. My friend preferred diversity, so there was a wide array of colors, lengths and thickness to aid the sorting process. Looking back now, it's a good thing for him that all his girlfriends weren't Chinese, or it would have been a very long afternoon, but I digress. But it was a funny thing for two stoned 15 year-olds to be doing.

Except deep down inside I was hurting. Because I had no rug with pubes. Well, my own. The dog's. And perhaps some renegade pube that blew in from another room, but that was about it. And I was embarrassed that this exercise in pube identification was the closest I had come to a real life pube other than the afore mentioned.

But this post is not about pubes, or my friend, or childhood wishes unfulfilled, or any of that, it's about me wanting to do a little night radio show. So far it seems like anything but that, but I'm getting there.

In my 20's I started getting a little bit of confidence, and the "I can do it too" thought started to crystallize within me. My niece was dating a very bight British engineer named Simon. I liked Simon, and we frequently chatted about events of the day whenever he'd visit with my niece at various occasions. But I found many of Simon's insights and opinion on certain subjects to be not as well-formed as my own. Around this time is when I started to grasp that engineers, mathematicians, chemists, you name it, don't have to be these "smart people" I need only gawk at, but I too could be one of those people. So I began school, and 6 years later (now near 30) I received my master's degree in mathematical statistics, a field I have now been working in for 16 years. So I did reach a point in life where I did not just have to live vicariously off of someone else's pubes, but started to get a few of my own.

Now I find myself at another "me too" moment in life. I'd really like to get my voice out there. I have a great gift of gab and grasp of issues that can stir people up in a conservative/populist kind of way. I'd love a little radio show, but radio is something only "other people" do.

But pubes and college degrees and careers were something that only "other people" did, yet over the years I've come to have my own fill of these things. With pubes I mean my own of course, but hey, a fill is a fill. But life keeps going, and after one meal we find ourselves hungry yet again.

And I know that if I step up to the plate, I can always be one of those "other people" myself. But part of me thinks radio might be a stretch too far, and doubt can be a killer. Is radio something I can really do, or is it just more of someone else's pubes? Is this whole quest a pube too far?

I need some inspiration. Perhaps I should call Simon, or maybe go back to The Studio and get stoned. Maybe there's even a time-forgotten fossilized pube or two still laying around to remind me from whence I came, and how far I've traveled.
