The un-recovery...................from Rico
It's absolutely Orwellian.
The teleprompter readers blather-on about the US economy being in 'recovery' endlessly. Breathlessly.
- I guess Goebbels was right. If you tell a big enough lie, often enough...
And, of course, the current government said the last recession ended long ago. Years ago.
- Well, if they say so, then it MUST be twue!
Chew on this number a moment.
- US employment in the present 'recovery' is 4.4 million BELOW the employment level at the 'official' start of the recession. Huh?
The noted economist and dietician Moochelle could not be reached for clarification, as she was unavailable due to a Hawaiian vacation.
- A taxpayer-funded one. Yet again.

Not just..................from Rico
It is becoming clear that it's not just another silly rule, but a LAW like gravity.
- I refer to the now routine morning market 'cram-down' of the precious metals by the Cartel.
OK, if all you see with your nose pressed against your monitor are the nanosecond-by-nanosecond criminal/fraudulent activity I can easily understand losing sight of the BIG picture for gold/silver vs. Dollar-denominated nominal assets...after all, that IS exactly the point. Ignore the long-term and focus on the short-term.
- One is SUPPOSED to miss the point while the Cartel continues to run the table.
This is what happens when there is no longer any rule of law, but only 'rules' under a corrupt Wall Street kleptocracy and a neo-Stalinist political regime.
- This is also a fantastic opportunity to dump paper fiat and acquire physical assets. Hard assets, whether in your hand or in the ground.
Of course, the swiss-watch precision of the market shenanigans and the FOMC meeting (and Wednesday's anticipated announcement) are merely coincidental, right?
- Wink, wink; nudge, nudge.
Is America Too Big?
Is America too big for democracy? Too big for its traditional republican form? What does it mean if the answer is yes? This video series proposes that the source of our biggest social and political problems is our SIZE.
Like the, obese, 600 pound man who experiences heart failure, diabetes, and dozens of other ailments, so too does America, only its diseases go by the names Debt, War, Entitlements, Gridlock, and Corruption. Our problems cannot be fixed through any change in ideology or bi-partisan agreement in Congress, because those are not the root of our problems. The source is our size. As America's population increases, the level of representation and control each voter has must inexorably decrease. As power centralizes in a federal government, literally out of the hands of its citizens, conflicts and problems mount. What can be done? Please watch and join the conversation.
Pacquiao knocked out by Marquez! Is a "Right-Wing" conspiracy somehow involved?...from Mike Haltman at TPC
With Mitt Romney visiting Manny Pacquiao prior to his loss on Saturday night, the blogosphere is abuzz over possible connections between the outcome of the fight and a vast US "Right-Wing" conspiracy concerning the 2014 U.S. mid-term elections! Could there possibly be any truth to this?

Romney said, "When I am elected, I will put Americans back to work."
And 51% said, "Screw that!"
