Video Replay: The Bears explain QE3!...from Mike Haltman at TPC



An animated video that explains in simple terms what QE3 is and why it most likely won't work. While printing money will keep interest rates near zero neither QE1 or QE2 have made any difference in the creation of jobs or in the stimulation of the economy. 

Is it the definition of insanity to think it will work this time? 

Or is it the definition of politics!

Serial QE.....................from Rico

So, the sequel to the sequel to the sequel ...QE-III is announced.

The 1-in-6 living below the poverty level may well ask "so what?"
- America now has the highest poverty rate in a generation.
- Half of Americans spend more than they make.
- Household income levels are back down to 1995 levels.

More of the same that hasn't worked won't 'work' any better this time.
- Four more years of TOTUS-boy won't 'work' either.

Endless QEIII..................from Rico

Smart people like Jim "Mr Gold" Sinclair have been repeating endlessly that there will be QE to infinity.
- Some listened and paid attention.
- Most did not 'hear' and allowed themselves to be mis-directed, distracted, and herded like sheep by the money-bunnies of FTV.

Hence the BIG 'surprise' when the FOMC announced endless QE-III today. Gold and Silver launched, the Dollar tanked.
- Can you spot the time this happened?

Like the song goes "b-b-b-b-baby, you ain't seen nothin' yet!"

U.S. under attack? And that's why I love the WNBA!...from Mike Haltman at TPC



The President has on his schedule for next Tuesday welcoming the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA to the White House. 

It's a lucky thing that he can fit campaigning and a photo-op into his schedule with the the U.S. under attack! 

He does know the U.S. is under attack doesn't he?

MUST WATCH "Open Mic" VIDEO: If you are an American who only gets their "news" through traditional media sources...from Mike Haltman at TPC


Must watch video for all Americans who believe that when they watch a mainstream media source that they are getting objective journalism. 

This is a video of two members of the press caught on an open mic, one from CBS and one from NPR, coordinating their questions before Mitt Romney's press conference to discuss the attacks on the United States in Libya and Egypt. 

The purpose of the questions was to deflect attention from the failings of the President and to turn the conversation to Mitt Romney being unfair.

Vindicatio​n?.....................from Alex

One of the reasons why I resigned from my Amman-based Jordan project was that the consultaning company wanted me to go to Sanaa, Yemen.

After assessing security there, I decided it was not worth the risk, effort, and also the concern of my family was greater than when I went to Kabul in 2006/7.

Anti-Islam film protests spread across Middle East

The same company also wanted me to go to Qena, Egypt (went there twice in 2009, it's the kind of city which, if the world needed an enema, the tube would be inserted there) where recent reports indiate an increase in robbery and harassment of Westerners on the road between Qena and Luxor (airport, hotels).

The U.S. Embassy's are attacked in Libya, Egypt and now Yemen in what could be considered an act of war against the U.S. Barack Obama could do any number of things in response.

Imagine you were the highest paid for what you did, could never be fired, worked only 9 months a year and your performance was never seriously evaluated. 

In that case you would be a Chicago school teacher. 

Sadly though you still wouldn't be satisfied and would go out on strike hurting the children and their parents. Perhaps Rahm Emanuel should do his best Ronald Reagan imitation and fire them.
