The writing on the wall...........from Rico
If you can "read" a balance sheet....like THIS one from Bank of America...you can read the "writing on the wall" and understand what you are not, and WILL NOT be told by the Financial Media, the MSM (aka The Minsitry of Truth), the Fed, Congress, or anyone who is 'connected' (this includes Comrade Berry, our Dear Reader).
This balance sheet clearly says:
- sitting on CASH
- reducing LOANS outstanding
- INVESTING (speculating) on Wall Street using cheap Fed money (well, our cheap TAXPAYER MONEY)
And the rest of us mere mortals who are not on the Mt. Olympus of TBTF (too big to fail)...namely taxpayers, well: just keep running on that wheel (paying your taxes) so Berry & Timmy & Benny etr al don't run out of YOUR money!!
.......sssshhhhhhhhhh!! Hey, that's not the wheel squeeking! It must be the hamsters........
'Gender No Longer Forms An Essential Part of Marriage'
Folks are reacting to that line at the ruling.
AoSHQ is especially good. And Jeff Goldstein responds:
... this ruling does nothing more than enshrine the notion that what has always been the definition for marriage can no longer be the definition for marriage, because defining marriage as it has always been defined is discriminatory against those who wish it was defined in a way more to their liking, and in a way that changes what it is and has always been into something it never was nor ever has been. But be that as it may.I've tired of writing about this, frankly. I'm not so much in the business of seeking to deprive people rights --- contrived rights, be that as it may as well --- and I'm to the point where the only legitimate solution I see would be a federalist one, to let the voters in their own states decide how they want to define marriage. The courts will not reflect the people on this, and the law will be tweaked to extend the right to marry to a faction that's not interested in the traditional bases of that institution. I'm reminded of Robert Bork's comments on the larger implications:
What we are seeing in modern liberalism is the ultimate triumph of the New Left of the 1960s - the New Left that collapsed as a unified political movement and splintered into a multitude of intense, single-issue groups. We now have, to name but a few, radical feminists, black extremists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, activist homosexual groups, multiculturalists, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, and many more. In a real sense, however, the New Left did not collapse. Each of its splinters pursues a leftist agenda, but there is no publicly announced overarching philosophy that enables people to see easily that the separate groups and causes add up to a general radical left philosophy. The groups support one another and come together easily on many issues. In that sense, the splintering of the New Left made it less visible and therefore more powerful, its goals more attainable, than ever before.NYT has a story up now (FWIW), "Court Rejects Same-Sex Marriage Ban in California" (via Memeorandum).
In their final stages, radical egalitarianism becomes tyranny and radical individualism descends into hedonism. These translate as bread and circuses. Government grows larger and more intrusive in order to direct the distribution of goods and services in an ever more equal fashion, while people are diverted, led to believe that their freedoms are increasing, by a great variety of entertainments featuring violence and sex ...

Attack on Israel's Northern Border Map and Video
Map of attack. The unprovoked attack on IDF Maintenance crew from Lebanon happened on the Israel side of the Blue Line (demarcating the border). The fence is set a few meters inside Israeli territory for tactical and functional reasons.
As you can see in the above map, in some areas, there is a gap between the IDF security fence and the actual border, which is...

New Zealand combat casualties Afghanistan
We have experienceed our first combat death in Afghanistan and the first since Pte Leonard Manning was killed in East Timor in 2000.
Two other soldiers were wounded in the attack in which a vehicle patrol was attacked with an IED follwed up with RPG's and small arms fire begining at approx 12.30 GMT. As comms with the patrol are intermitent at this stage all the details are unclear.
However the Prime Minister John Key has conformed New Zealands commitment to the deployment and said this death is not a reason to withdraw. The SAS deployment is due to end in September but this is being reconsidered in order to allow the force to complete its mission.
We're one of the smallest countries in the world with a population that would be a suburb of London or New York, we do many things. Running away isn't one of them.
