Recession? Recovery? Nah!!..............from Rico
A micro view:
The time-lag between 'GDP recovery' and 'employment recovery' has been increasing in the US.
- The US GDP is NOT recovering....not in reality, only in the words of our politicians and their cheerleaders and kept whores/presstitutes of the MSM.
- This is why employment is NOT recovering eighteen months AFTER the 'offishul' declaration that the 'recession' was over.
A macro view:
Take a look at how the world is doing vis GDP.
A conclusion:
Anyone who tells you (a) your 'recession' is over, and/or (b) a 'recovery' is underway is either running for office or already in office [read: a flaming LIAR].
- We were never 'in' a recession...it's a depression, and it isn't 'over' yet. It won't be for a long while.

War or Gang War?..............from Rico
Looking at the petro-dollar regime, one has to ask how many wars can the US$ handle to maintain it's global reserve currency hegemony?
- And, are the recent Wars in the traditional sense, or are they really Gang Wars instigated by the FED?
Let's consider for a moment:
--------------------------------then--------------------------------
Iraq wanted to sell oil for Euros, not US$. You know how well that idea worked out for Saddam.
Qaddaffi's Libya was going to sell its oil for Gold, not US$, we won't mention what he had shoved up his butt in the end...
IF a war with Iran is meant to control nuclear proliferation and 'protect' the world, then why have Pakistan and North Korea (and Israel) been given a nuclear 'pass' so far? WTF is that?
---------------------------now-----------------------------------
India just announced it will pay in Gold instead of US$ for Iranian oil.
- Expect China to soon follow suit. (They account for about 40% of Iranian oil vs. the now-boycotting EU which buys about 20%.)
Russia and Iran have already agreed to settle oil purchases in currencies other than the US$.
In the end, wars are NOT about oil as much as about money....and whose money.
- Today it's about US money and defending the indefensible (a debt-based fiat paper monetary system).
So, today, are we looking at a Gang War to $ave the Dollar window-dressed as a traditional War to make the world safe from nuclear weapons?
Gold may well be the last man standing...

FDR Didn’t Bomb The Camps, Obama Won’t Bomb Iran..................by Dan Friedman
As more and more evidence accumulates that shows FDR and the allies knew about the camps and decided not to bomb them, the more and more Obama’s unwillingness to take the atomic bat out of Iran’s hands starts looking like déjà vu all over again. Of course, there is one (and only one) big difference between now and then: Israel was born and has been blessed with the wherewithal to crush the Iranian viper in its infancy, before it becomes lethal. What’s yet to be determined, though, is whether Israel has the will to carry out its G-d-given mission. We should get our answer before the year is out.

Only in Britain - Complaints to Councils...............
Extracts from letters written to local councils:
1. It's the dog's mess that I find hard to swallow.
2. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.
3. I wish to complain that my father twisted his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.
4. Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.
5. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other day that blew them off.
6. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?
7. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.
8. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.
9. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.
10. 50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster, and 50% are just plain filthy.
11. I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.
12. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.
13. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.
14. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now is in three pieces.
15. The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.
16. Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third, so please send someone round to do something about it.
17. I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night.
18. Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.
19. I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.
20. This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we can't get BBC2.
