Late Pic Dump...........

Israel Replies to the 40 USA "Machers"................from Dan Friedman

[A few days ago, a blue ribbon panel of Israeli legal scholars found that Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria is well within international law. Over here on our shores, the reaction was akin to showing Dracula the cross. A group of mainly Reform Jews (sic) fired off a letter calling on Israel to reject the report. If you still need an explanation for the panic overcoming America’s assimilationist Jewish movers and shakers, you can start with the two news items below. df]

He has the 'touch' all right.................from Rico

We all know the story of King Midas, yet none of us has ever met the guy.

But we have all known one (or more) unfortunate individuals who have the 'merde' touch, however.
- Everything they touch turns to crap.

This just-released campaign poster of "King Merdas" replaces the iconic and moronic 'hope' poster from the last campaign. We all know him far too well by now.
- We know he acts like a King and everything he has touched so far HAS turned into crap....er, merde.

Single-handedly, he has turned "Hail to the Chief" into a 'him' (sing along with me: 'him, him, f**k him!').
- Barry has the 'touch' all right!

How can the formerly-known-as 'Golden State' be such a financial mess with penetrating thinkers like Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and Gov Jerry "moonbeam" Brown (plus uncountable others) available to them?
- Don't get me started on the flaming incompetence of CalPers right now (yeah, they're in deep kimchee too, just not as bad as their current and future retirees are gonna be).

Unsurprisingly California ranks dead last on S&P's credit ratings of States for the past decade.
- Could it be that Democratic (C) politicians have absolutely NO CLUE how economies actually work?

Obama's Jewish Airhead Bombs at Reform Temple..............from Dan Friedman

Signs of Jewish resistance. A crowd at a large Pennsylvania Reform Temple (Vu den?) gathered to hear, inter alia, the DNC Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, sing the praises of Israel’s BFF, Barack Hussein Obama. You’d expect they would be eating out of her hand, but that’s not exactly the way it went down.

Heads AND Tails.............from Rico

It was...and still IS...a perfect double-whammy.
- It is so perfect that very few of the 'public' have it figured-out.

It goes like this:
- Taxpayer (public) money is used to bail-out banks, while the bank's losses are offloaded-transferred to the Taxpayer's (public's) account.
Perfect!

For a simpler explanation, just think of it this way: "Heads I win, Tails you lose!"

Help Our Friend Murray Build a Ballista..............

Please donate to Project Agrippa

Project Agrippa is about building a fully working reconstruction of an ancient Greek/Roman ballista as an educational exercise.

"I'm Murray Hill and for ten years I've been researching and building ancient artillery, catapults.

I intend to undertake a PhD based on a comparative study of Greek and Roman Artillery next year and Project Agrippa is the largest machine of the collection that will be used in the study. Though local support I've been able to secure most of the materials I need to build the catapult, but I still need to be able to gathering everything together and get some of the speicist tools needed to build this machine.

Contributions to this project will enable me to to do that.
Contributions will help pay for transport costs, incidently items such as glue, nails, sand paper and so forth. Even if we don't reach the funding goal any contributions will help move the project foward.

Once Agrippa is built it will be displayed at a major event in Febuary 2013 and from there will be used to gather an understanding of the operation of artillery in the pre-gunpowder world. Finally it will become part of a collection that be used for dispalys and exhibitions for the public.

At present there is weakness in the understanding of these machines with most kids learning from computer games. Over the last tens years I've been able to entertain and educate many younger people as well as inspire them to continue learning.

Project Agrippa is a major step up in the level of what I do and will have a coresponding impact. You can help to achieve this aim.

Even you are not able to contribute directly simply sharing this project will help. they more people who take an interest the easier it will be to get there."

Where Did All The Money Go? - Romney Campaign

President Obama's time in office has been marked by political payoffs to the donor class and layoffs for the middle class. He showered his friends with stimulus funds and sent millions of taxpayer dollars overseas. If we can't trust him with our money, why should we trust him for another four years?

Please Forwrad to Romney or Someone on His Staff.....................by Dan Friedman

Why the hell are you on the defensive when Obama attacks Romney’s career at Bain or calls for the release of more tax returns - all to imply Romney’s hiding something? Don’t bring a softball to a game of hardball. Here’s a better idea, guys. “Mr. President, when you release your college transcripts and clear up the other questions you refuse to answer about your murky past, maybe then we can talk.” One retort from Mitt that sounds something like that and Obama and Axelrod will crawl back under a rock.

The 'missing' link...................from Rico

The major drought has been talked to death my the MSM, so let's skip that here.
- I'll only attach a USDA drought map and say it's bad and getting worse.

Corn futures (Dec) on the CME have already jumped over 50 percent because of the drought's impact on the corn crop.
- The 'smart' money is already positioning.

I have read about ranchers selling livestock because of the anticipated rise in the cost to feed them, and analysts tell us the price of meat will surely increase as a direct result.

So far, there has been a glaringly obvious link completely 'missing' from the MSM's narrative....drought-corn-ethanol.

The US Government's "ethanol policy" was boneheaded from the start (I know I am being redundant here). Subsidizing the diversion of foodstuffs into an inefficient fuel alternative as a sop to the 'greenies' (read: eco-fascists or eco-tards as you prefer) never made any sense, but the librul media absolutely LOVES the idea so maybe that's why they're keeping so quiet now.
- Besides, the 'dumb' money (the Taxpayer) has endlessly deep pockets for the Taxspenders to fish about in, so why worry or start making sense now?

The Bernanke speaks today.................from Rico

The Bernanke speaks today.

Meanwhile the markets patiently wait for the Oracle to speak, and will afterwards try to read the entrails and determine what was meant.

Here is one thing to look for, the rest can pretty much be ignored and disregarded as the FED talking its book:

IF the FED stops paying interest on excess reserves (they'll say it will increase bank lending to the private sector), it will REALLY force the banks to buy more sovereign debt (what the FED and Treasury/read: USG want).
- This will make commodity prices skyrocket (including Gold) and further tank the USD.

What's NOT to like from their lofty perspective at 30,000 feet?

Jewish Left Produces Another Front Group.....................from Dan Friedman

[The gap is widening between the decrepit Jewish-American left and the ever-stronger Jewish State of Israel. That in turn has allowed a certain amount of fear and hysteria to spread among the usual gang of wealthy Jewish buttinskies and kibitzers. With their (exaggerated) influence over Israel waning, the moneyed Jewish elites are now frantically trying to regroup and consolidate to make themselves appear powerful. Et voila!, their newest Potemkin organization. Letterhead, office space, Rolodex and website provided courtesy of the empty suits and their chump change. df]
