Movie Review: 'The Last King of Scotland'


Short Review: A film expressing the dangers of living frivolously in a dangerous world. So, in essence, it is a film that warns against doing all of the things Hollywood has been telling us to do for the last forty years.

GDP blowout?...........from Rico

If you believe the Minsitry of Truth and the Guv'mint, 4Q 2009 saw a GDP blowout of 5.7 percent to the upside! Whee! Happy days are here again!

Right.

This is exactly like running up the balance on your credit card and bragging about how much "richer" you now are!

If GDP was calculated like a "balance sheet" you'd have to subtract the increase in liabilities
...but gummint doesn't do things that way.

Wait for the later 'stealth' revision of this aazing number. Downward.
- How many remember the breathless announceent of 3Q 2009's GDP increase of 3.6 percent (much less its late downward revision to 2.2 percent) or noted this was an 'adjustment' of 38% to the downside?

Anyone who believes the statistics and numbers coming out ot today's gooberment is an idiot.

And just for fun, speaking of "balance sheets" here is what the FED's balance sheet looks like today. Like a fat ass, it will only get bigger and bigger. This chart absolutely screams "buy dollars, NOW!" does it not?
- Worth noting: foreign holdings are decreasing.

Make NO mistake. War IS being waged..................from Rico

Make NO mistake about it. War IS being waged...by the political classes against the middle class.

If our politicians wanted it any differently, the middle class would not be being pushed into debt slavery and dependence upon the largesses of government handouts.
- Middle America as urban Detroit. Welcome to Kulakistan! This is the real plan. The real dream. Great plan, you socialist swine.

Adjusted wages are up 20% over the past 20 years, while housing costs are up 56% and health-care costs are up 155% (and that's before the brilliant idea to get government 'involved' to lower costs).

When the TOTUS Berry Obama-Soetero proposes aid for the middle class, you had better watch your asses! When the reptiles in Congress and this Marxist-pretender finish with you, why you'll have a perfect life...as long as it does not require eating food!

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

I've studied revolutionary politics for more than twenty years, as a part of my professional career development.


Perhaps people are not aware of a phenomena taking place right now, all around us?


I'm sure that most of you did not have a chance to see this incredible video I am looking at right now. I don't think that I have ever seen anything quite like it.

The Vice Guide to Liberia Episode 8



The final chapter of our Guide to Liberia begins with Joshua, one-time rapist and murderer of thousands, introducing Shane at his church and denouncing Liberia’s fair-weather friends afraid of slums and swamp water. His sermon ends with an open admission of the blood on his hands. In the end, we wonder about the future of Liberia, Generals Butt Naked, Rambo, and bin Laden, and what will become of the child soldiers after the UN leaves. Will it once again dissolve into open warfare? Or can a message of good redeem a country that’s been plagued with violence and poverty since its inception?

Haiti Report..........from Rico

Criminally inept? This Fwench trait has sadly become a prerequisite for advancement in the Democratic party (C) of today, and to be a leading Obamunist.

Screw 'snopes' on this one. This man's word is "gold" to me...he's one of the best Fed LEO's I've ever known, and the scenes described track exactly with the incomptence of the UN (useless nitwits) and all the 'other' aid organizations any of us have ever seen in operation (Rwanda-Uganda, the Balkans, Cambodia, ...it's a very long list of criminal incompetence. Usually willful, too.).


This is from a very reliable source....Just as I thought was happening.....Note the last insult and the comments from Obama's people...




To All,

I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.

Port o Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact.Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead, the city smells like a charnal house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money. The ones I ran into were either incompetent or outright anti American. Most are French or french speakers, worthless every damn one of them. While 1,800 rescuers were ready willing and able to leave the airport and go do our jobs, the UN and USAID ( another organization full of little OBamites and communists that openly speak against America) These two organizations exemplared their parochialism by:

USAID, when in control of all inbound flights, had food and water flights stacked up all the way to Miami, yet allowed Geraldo Rivera, Anderson Cooper and a host of other left wing news puppies to land.

Pulled all the security off the rescue teams so that Bill Clinton and his wife could have the grand tour, whilst we sat unable to get to people trapped in the rubble.

Stacked enough food and water for the relief over at the side of the airfield then put a guard on it while we dehydrated and wouldn't release a drop of it to the rescuers.

No shower facilities to decontaminate after digging or moving corpses all day, except for the FEMA teams who brought their own shower and decon equipment, as well as air conditioned tents.

No latrine facilities, less digging a hole if you set up a crapper everyone was trying to use it.

I watched a 25 year old Obamite with the USAID shrieking hysterically, berate a full bird (0-6) Colonel in the Ai r Force, because he countermanded her orders, whilst trying to unscrew the air pattern. " You don't know what your president wants! The military isn't in charge here..... we are!"

If any of you are thinking of giving money to the Haitian relief, or to the UN don't waste your money. It will only go to further the goals of the French and the Liberal left.

If we are a fair and even society, why is it that only white couples are adopting Haitian orphans. Where the hell is that vocal minority that is always screaming about the injustice of American society.

Bad place, bad situation, but a perfect look at the new world order in action. New Orleans magnified a thousand times. Haiti doesn't need democracy, what Haiti needs is Papa Doc. That's not just my opinion , that is what virtually every Haitian we talked with said. "The French run the UN......treat us the same as when we were a colony....., at least Papa Doc ran the country."

Oh, and as a last slap in the face the last four of us had to take US Airways home from Phoenix. They slapped me with a $590 baggage charge for the four of us. The girl at the counter was almost in tears because she couldn't give us a discount or she would lose her job.

Pass that on to the flying public.
