Promise. Lies.........................from Rico

This single 'motivational' sign from a friend says more than the usual 1,000 words.

Sure, by now everyone 'knows' the promises made concerning ObamaCare were all lies, not just the liars that were making the promises.

- But, how long before everyone figures out that ALL the promises made concerning everything are lies, not just the liars making those promises?

It's not just the Democrats (C), but the Republicans (D), that are ALL shameless liars today.

- There is no longer ANY need to polygraph America's career politicians.....if their lips are moving, you KNOW they are lying.

And here I almost forgot.....................from Rico

Reminding us all of the eminently forgettable........

Gee, I didn't miss him at all...there are so many running around these days, who'd even notice one of them was missing?

It's sure a good thing Rev Je$$ie 'Race-pimp' Jackson is around to remind us that it's been a couple years since the librul's St Trayvon was canonized (pun intended).

- The irony of one black lying-thieving POS memorializing another black thieving POS is.....well, that's what Black History month has become under the Big Kahuna of black lying-thieving POS Barry O-hole.

And NO [for you PC korrectniks] is is not racist to call a spade a spade, if it is in fact a spade.

Yesterday. Today. WTF. Watch Out Below............................from Rico

Yesterday's COMEX expiry was a very 'quiet' one.

- I noted my calendar to 'expect' fun and games from the Cartel for the next few days, with the intent to discourage anyone from actually taking physical delivery of the precious metals (which are in scarce supply). From their perspective it's far better if holders of contracts just roll them over to forward months instead of demanding settlement this month.

Today.

These folks never seem to disappoint. Dumping paper to suppress pricing as expected. The thumbs are heavily on the scales today.

- Look at the charts and consider two things: (a) defending the dying FRN Dollar, and (b) the growing pile of dead bankers who could 'coincidentallly' have shed light on the fraudulent and criminal shenanigans of their banks (JPM is foremost, but not alone).

WTF.

It wasn't to 'help' Main Street, and this is only the prelude to the big one (2008 having been a mere temblor).

- The Central Banks were NEVER trying to grow economies or reduce unemployment. The have only been propping-up the derivative trades of their TBTF financial institutions.

~80% of the $600 trillion derivatives market is on the verge of collapsing. The $11 trillion created since 2008 hasn't done a thing except misprice Sovereign Bonds (eg. US Treasuries, Japanese Government Bonds, German Bunds) which are THE collateral backstopping the entire derivative system.

Watch Out Below.

No one can really say 'when' the bottom falls out, not even the Mensa brain trust collectively called Central and TBTF bankers, but I'd look for markers like the Dow 5.000 going forward, in addition to:

- Margin calls and demands for better collateral

- Yield of US 10-years at 1% or lower

- Markets being closed

- Baks being 'frozen' (Cyprus)

Let's Stop Dancing to the Other Guy's Tune............................from Dan Friedman

“We do not have to account to anybody, we are not to sit for anybody's examination and nobody is old enough to call on us to answer. We came before them and will leave after them. We are what we are, we are good for ourselves, we will not change and we do not want to.”

-- Zev Jabotinsky, 1911

[Caroline Glick is out with her highly anticipated new book, The Israeli Solution: A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East. From the coming attractions she supplies below, it appears to be her attempt to lay down a new paradigm for a settlement of the ~~Muslim~~ Arab-Israeli conflict. I wish her the best and urge everyone to read it. But bearing in mind that I haven't, please excuse an off-the-cuff comment.

Jews are exceptional in almost every way. We don't eat the same (kosher) food as anyone else, don't dress the same (Shatnez), and we use languages (Hebrew and Yiddish) spoken only by Jews. I could go on. But that's the way our Creator wants it.

Therefore, to the degree Glick's alternative is an Israeli response meant to defeat old canards and address false Hobson's choices, Ms. Glick is flirting with a pitfall that could lead Israel in circles. The reason is simple. The Nations will never voluntarily stop inventing new hoops for Israel to jump through. Never, that is, until the Jews are no longer a "threat" – and we all know what that means.

It's axiomatic – or should be - that the problems Jews confront in the Jewish state must be dealt with by applying uniquely Jewish solutions. Considering our history and the suffering Jews have endured at the hands of the Nations for millennia, we have earned the right and have inherited the duty to manage our national affairs in a manner that we see fit. If there’s a better way to take the bat out of our antagonists’ hands, I don’t know it.

Looking over our shoulders, or trying to win over the hopeless hecklers in the back of the room, just won’t do. I trust Caroline Glick will agree. She is, after all, a great Jewish patriot in the spirit of Ze’ev Jabotinsky. df]

Stupid, Evil or Both?

By Alan Caruba

For a long time now I have been trying to determine whether the Obama administration is stupid, evil or both. In addition to its long list of scandals, its governance of America increasingly looks like and acts as if the power granted to it by two elections exists to intimidate and harass Americans, inflict endless new taxes, and granted it the right to destroy one of the best healthcare systems and military in the world.

Listening to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry constantly talk about the non-existent threat of global warming/climate change is both stupid and evil. There is no global warming. The Earth has been in a cooling cycle for some seventeen years at this point and the supposed “science” they cite—that carbon dioxide emissions will heat the Earth—is utterly bogus, based entirely on computer models that have been wrong from the day the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were first used.

In a recent article in Forbes magazine, James Taylor, editor of The Heartland Institute’s Environment and Climate News, noted that “More than 30,000 scientists have signed a summary of the science explaining why humans are not creating a global warming crisis.” He cites several other surveys that confirm that neither scientists nor the public regard global warming/climate change to be a concern.

What should be a major concern, however, is the way the Obama administration has transformed the Internal Revenue Service into an agency to thwart conservative groups from receiving non-profit status to advance their views. The Environmental Protection Agency has been let loose to generate all manner of regulations whose intent is to shut down coal-fired plants that produce electricity and deny the ability to build new ones. The amount of electricity that is being produced from these plants has dropped significantly from the 50% it once was.

The passage of the Affordable Health Care Act—Obamacare—is wreaking havoc on the economy and is the result of the lies told by the President and many Democratic members of Congress who voted for it without even reading it. The nation is suffering from losses of jobs and the reduction of full-time jobs to part-time. Americans are losing their healthcare plans and Obamacare plans have far higher premiums. Individuals and businesses who fail to sign up for one face fines.

This is worse than stupid. It is evil. It is a deliberate attack on the nation’s economic growth, rendering an estimated 100 million Americans without employment and forcing millions to apply for food stamps in order to put food on the table.

While the lies are evil, the stupidity of those like former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is demonstrated by things she has said in recent years.

“It’s almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem.” The nation has a huge borrowing and spending problem that currently adds up to more than $17 trillion in debt. Federal spending (25% of the Gross Domestic Product) is the highest since World War II as is the budget deficit (10% of GDP). The U.S. suffered the first downgrade in its credit rating in its history.

The administration’s “stimulus” program wasted billions on alternative energy companies that often filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter. The promise of “green jobs” was as specious as “shovel ready” jobs that even the President admitted did not exist. Nancy Pelosi said at the time that “Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs” but the U.S. population is currently around 317 million total!

This goes well beyond just stupidity. Obama’s, Pelosi’s, Biden’s and other administration member’s statements have been a consistent record of lies and that is evil.

When Obama took office in 2009 America was still regarded as the leading nation in the world in the arena of foreign affairs, but in the years since then nations and non-state enemies such as al Qaeda have concluded that it has demonstrated not just weakness, but dangerous stupidity as seen in its current efforts to negotiate with Iran to cease its quest of nuclear weapons. To this day its leaders still lead chants of “Death to America” and to our only true ally in the Mideast, Israel.

Claims that al Qaeda had been defeated were also false as it and other Islamic radical groups expand their activities.

One can barely find any evidence that the Obama administration has shown any success domestically or in foreign affairs and we still have three more years of it to endure.

The only hope at present is the forthcoming November midterm elections and, if power in the Senate can be acquired by the Republican Party and expanded in the House, efforts to thwart the deliberate destruction of the nation can be enacted. We have been living with a President who has refused to negotiate with Congress and with a Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, who has blocked debates and votes on any of the legislation initiated in the House.

The nation is just months away from either further decline or a reversal of policies that are either stupid or evil or both.

Handouts vs. Entitlements................................from Rico

'Feeling' like you are "entitled" to something you did not earn does NOT change a handout into an entitlement.

Glibly saying you are "spreading the wealth around" does NOT make it into something noble instead of just plain stealing.

Calling a repressive dictatorship's actions "for your own good" does NOT mean it is for your own good or will do you any good, or conversely not do you any harm.

- Say what you mean.

- Mean what you say.

- Keep your word.

That's just NOT the "progressive" Democratic (C) way.

- Never was. Never will be.

...all at once......................from Rico

In 1926 Hemingway wrote his novel "The Sun Also Rises" which was set in a time of moral bankruptcy.

- It contained the lines: "How did you go bankrupt?" "Slowly at first, and then all at once."

In 2014, the culmination of the Fed's financial experiment could be called "The Dollar Also Sets" and is set in a time of moral and financial bankruptcy.

- So far there are no memorable lines from Yellanke of the Fed, but it's early in the last chapter so there may still be something worth remembering.

Until there is, Hemingway's lines are as good or better than any for historical purposes.

It's a step by step process, and one of those steps is centered around a hotel at Iowa State University. Atheists of course will not be satisfied with forcing their beliefs in the classrooms. They'll keep going until Christianity is no longer tolerated, while forgetting that Christianity is at the foundation of what made this the most tolerant, charitable, and prosperous nation in the world.
