The countries in Asia and the Pacific Basin have oriented towards high technology, high energy flux dense infrastructure and power sources--the way of the future. Yet the trans-Atlantic regions of the United States and Western Europe have gone back to the stone ages. Civilization depends on the United States making the necessary shift in the direction of Russia, China, India, and the new nuclear renaissance.

FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. People take this to mean that their hard-earned money is "safe" when deposited in their bank. Why "the full faith and credit of the United States" says it is so.
Let's talk about "leverage." Then let's try to grasp objective reality with our opposible thumbs.
The FDIC currently "insures" $13 trillion in total asets with a fund that is insolvent. This is truly maximum leverage. Lehman Brothers would positively weep...had they not been wiped-out by a puny (in comparison) leverage problem. Insuring assets with no assets. Great. Sure. Wonderful idea. Works for me! How about you?
If this "fractional banking" thing unwinds, it'll be very ugly indeed....unless inflation wipes out your money first. But wait! It's fugly either way!
The Belfast Evening Herald reported "Israeli Dubai assassins carried Irish passports"
The so called Israeli hit team, including at least one woman, entered the United Arab Emirates using Irish documents, police authorities said. Hamas terrorist and arms dealer Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was said to have been shocked with an electric weapon held to his legs and then suffocated or poisoned. Pathologists were said to have determined the cause of death as asphyxiation, probably with a pillow found near the body and stained with blood. ...

This is absurd. Ludicrous. Lies about 'recovery' and unemployment are actually believed by some.
The economy is losing jobs, but the government says the unemployment rate is declining. Unemployment is NOT getting better.
None...I say again, NONE of the fundamental problems of our over-leveraged financial system and economy have been addressed or fixed. Things are actually worse...we have been 'solving' our leveraging problem by going further into debt. With increased leverage.
Great idea. Put out the fire with gasoline! The fire will go out just as soon as the oxygen has been used up and is all gone.
Look at the attached chart of the FED financing the Treasury. It is a reasonable bet that the FED has essentially purchased ALL new Treasury issuance since the start of 2009.
No choice, multiple-answer pop quiz.
Q: What happens when the FED stops monetizing US Soverign Debt?
A: Pick all three: (a) it's gonna hurt and leave a mark, (b) your taxes are going way UP, and (c) government 'promises' to you are NOT going to be kept.
Welcome to debt slavery sheeple!

Oh...THAT recovery.
- You mean the one where consumer credit has now declined for an 'unprecedented' 11 straight months and for 14 of the last 15 months.
- The 'recovery' built on no one having any money, any credit, or perhaps any job...THAT recovery.
Swell.
I guess it is 'safe' now to buy equities in the stock markets and USG bonds.....now that the economy and the US Dollar are "safe" again.

Good job there Team Obama! You LIE like a rug, and so far almost everybody is swallowing it whole!

An interesting piece on the tea party movement in Maine... with the requisite of bit of hatred and contempt from a local Democrat. They just love calling us "far right" don't they, because liberty, freedom and less government is such a Nazi concept isn't it? Just shows how far to the left the leading Democrats are in Maine. Socialism hates freedom and free speech, it has to quash it where ever possible.
