DR. RUTH WESTHEIMER, MEDIA DARLING & ISRAELI SNIPER
Dr. Ruth Westheimer, former Israeli Sniper, sitting on the hood of an IDF Jeep
"When I was in my routine training for the Israeli army as a teenager, they discovered completely by chance that I was a lethal sniper. I could hit the target smack in the center further away than anyone could believe. Not just that, even though I was tiny and not even much of an athlete, I was incredibly accurate throwing hand grenades too. Even today I can load a Sten automatic rifle in a single minute, blindfolded."

DESERT SURVIVAL
Erik is originally from this area, he was raised in the desert, so I asked him to track down some wildlife for STORMBRINGER . . .
A coyote was here . . .
From a survival point of view, knowing where the animals go tells you 2 things: A) where to set your traps & snares, and B) where to find water. Now get busy with that shelter, the desert sun is coming up and it's going to get hot . . .

Short and Profound Paragraph..............
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”*
* Adrian Rogers, 1931*

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."
It COULD have been Obama, or Reid, or Pelosi (pick a Democrat (C) almost any one of 'em)...but it was V. Lenin
...so far, our Democrats (C) only dream this, and think it....and ACT it out. Lucky us, huh?!+PLAN+for+America.jpg)

It's not over.............from Rico
I do not think the 'crisis' is over.
I think the worst is yet to come.
The trend is for the Dollar to keep going lower, and for gold and silver to keep going up. [see charts]
WHY dat is?
The current 'crisis' was caused by the Fed, Treasury, the World's Central Banks, and Wallstreet. Having caused the problem, they now profit by solving the problem...and they will do ANYTHING to keep us suckers from panicking! This includes LIE about everything, and breaking/wrecking the US Dollar.
- There has been chatter among our political class in Washingtoon about taking control of state pension funds lately and absorbing them into Social Security.
*One word: Argentina.
*One question: Who already skimmed all the cash out of Social Security? A: Congress.
In the 1980's Gov't stimulus money was measured in the millions; in the 1990's the billions; now we talk in trillions. See a classic PONZI scheme here?
- Soc Sec & Medicare=PONZI. Soc Sec benefits have just been frozen for two years (but fees for Medicare keep increasing...it's in even worse shape).
- 401K's=PONZI. As demographics age and oldsters are required by law to take money out (to pay the taxes that were deferred) it's going to be hard for markets to rise without fresh/new money coming in. Unless, again a la` Argentina, the Gov't beats you to your money and just takes it in exchange for some really swell IOU's! Piles of cash to politicians are like truffles to hogs...it drives them simply wild and they have to go for it!
No, we're not out of the woods yet. We have yet to see if the current "cure" will be worse than the disease...or if it will "kill" us.
I'd hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
- I was taught years ago: "Sweat now, or bleed later." This is still valid advice.
