The Theo Fundraiser..............
I have been blogging for nearly 12 years now and to continue this blog has to start paying it's way. Ever since Google-ads blocked us cos of the totty ( and being anti Obama) there is no income. I am not asking for charity but things are tight now and I now have to find an income bacause I have put this site before everything for a long while as we have a great team who I couldn't run this blog without. They are unpaid and brilliant and some have been with us since the beginning. I couldn'd run the blog without them. I am an Englishman in a small town in Norfolk (England) who is amazed at what one can do these days over the internet. Hell we both have mid-term elections coming up so lets use our God given right to kick some liberal ass. All contributions will be greatly accepted cos otherwise i might have to go into politics!!!

Paper Money........................from Rico
There are two very different kinds of paper money, and understanding the difference is crucial to understanding how the FED works (or doesn't work for you, it's working fine for their private owners...but I digress).
US Notes.
- The US Treasury issued United States Notes frm 1862 to 1971. The 'red' Treasury seal is a quick visual identification for them. These notes were worth the face value printed on them, and were interest-free. For most of their useage, they were redeemable in Gold or Silver.
- They were "bills of credit."
Federal Reserve Notes.
- The Federal Reserve Bank (a privately owned, for-profit bank) now issues paper money instead of the US Treasury as interest-bearing debt. These notes are not credits, but are an IOU instead and are NOT interest-free (this is where the REAL money is being made by the FED, on the interest 'owed' them on this money). They are NOT redeemable for anything (except more FRN's).
The Federal Reserve.
- This is THE biggest long-con ever to have been accomplished in plain sight. Helluva 'scam' guys. Kudos.

Serious vs. Seriously Useless............................from Rico
It looks like Russia is taking the Ukraine thing seriously.
- Two heavyweight Russian naval assets (kaliningrad, Minsk) have moved into the Black sea, and Russian troopies are boots on the ground in the Crimea.
Meanwhile, Kerry and Hagel pick their noses like the seriously useless twits they are, while sitting beside some McClellan imitator in his Civil War blues.
- Tell me it's a coincidence or accident that Defense and State have been eviscerated and emasculated by this regime.

Keystone XL is Proof Obama Opposes U.S. Economic Growth
 |
| Thousands of Miles of U.S. pipelines |
By Alan Caruba
It’s taken nearly five years, but Americans are finally aware that President Obama is opposed to anything that contributes to the economic growth of the nation. Along with a Democratic controlled Senate and its opposition to anything generated by the Republican House, Obama has saddled the nation with the highest debt in its history and squandered billions on failed alternative energy firms.
The most dramatic example is Obama’s five-year delay of the implementation of the Keystone XL pipeline that would safely transport oil from Canada to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
There are approximately 55,000 miles of pipelines in the U.S. with another 30,000 to 40,000 smaller gathering pipelines that feed it to the major ones.
In a February 17 U.S. Chamber of Commerce advertisement in The Weekly Standard, its president and CEO, Thomas J. Donahue, wrote that “In the same time that the Keystone XL pipeline application has been under review by the Obama administration, the Hoover Dam, the New Jersey Turnpike, and the Empire State Building were built—a clear indicator of how cumbersome and political today’s permitting process has become.”
Donahue pointed out that “The Keystone XL pipeline would not only transport fuel safely, but it would boost economic activity along the way. Building the pipeline would create more than 42,000 new jobs while adding $3.4 billion to the economy. The pipeline would generate more than $5.2 billion in property taxes for communities on the route, pumping cash into state and city coffers for schools, law enforcement, and local projects.”
“Radical eco-zealots have chosen Keystone XL as the place to make their stand,” says Craig Rucker, the Executive Director of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) a free market think tank. “They claim this project is unsafe for the environment and the people it would pass near, and that it would greatly contribute to alleged ‘global warming.’”
The State Department is accepting public comment on the pipeline and CFACT has a petition for which it is seeking signatures to move forward on its acceptance. Take a moment to sign it.
Even Obama’s Secretary of Energy, Ernest Moniz, has gone on record saying that the nation’s railroad infrastructure was not ready to handle the huge increase in all oil production coming out of places like North Dakota’s Bakken Shale formation, urging that pipelines are the best option. “Frankly, I think pipeline transport overall probably has overall a better record in terms of cost, in terms of emissions, and in terms of safety.”
Keystone XL has become the environmental movement’s front line in its attack on the nation’s economic growth and political pundits commonly say that Obama’s refusal to permit its construction is based on his intention to keep their vote, but I am inclined to believe that it is part of his effort to convert the economy and political structure of the nation from a vigorous capitalist entity to one in which millions of Americans, unable to find employment and experiencing a reduction in their personal wealth are forced onto government doles of one sort or another.
Paul Driessen, a CFACT senior policy advisor, points out that “Most Americans are no longer fooled by empty hope and change hype. In December only 74,000 jobs were created (many of them low-paying part-time seasonal positions), while 374,000 more people gave up looking for work. Not surprisingly, recent polls have found that three-quarters of Americans say the country still appears to be in a recession, two-thirds don’t trust the President to make the right decisions for the country, and barely 30% say the nation is ‘heading in the right direction.’”
One is reminded of Obama’s claim that his $787 billion dollar “stimulus” program would help fund “shovel ready” jobs waiting to be filled. It utterly failed to do that, instead directing the money to alternative energy firms that went bankrupt while their owners pocketed much of that funding. Obama later admitted that there were far fewer shovel ready jobs than he believed existed. Government regulations have so slowed and delayed construction projects of every description that until they are removed, the economy will continue to stagnate.
The environmental claim that the pipeline will contribute to “greenhouse gas emissions”, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), is utterly false because CO2 plays virtually no role whatever in affecting the Earth’s weather or climate. The claim is based on computer models, 95% or more of which have proved to be wrong.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal on February 20, Richard McNider and John Christie disputed Secretary of State John Kerry’s claims about “climate change”, pointing out that “When the failure of become clear, the modeling industry always comes back with new models that soften their previous warming forecasts…The models mostly miss warming in the deep atmosphere—from the Earth’s surface to 75,000 feet—which is supposed to be one of the real signals of warming caused by carbon dioxide. Here, the consensus ignores the reality of temperature observations of the deep atmosphere collected by satellites and balloons, which have consistently shown less than half of the warming shown in the average model forecasts.” McNider and Christie are professors of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and fellows of the American Meteorological Society.
Even Kerry’s Department of State’s own final environmental impact statement said that the Keystone XL pipeline would contribute little to global greenhouse gas emissions. Obama’s alleged climate policies ignore the science that disputes any connection between CO2 and the climate, but it is his primary instrument to delay and eliminate any economic growth.
Regrettably, on Feb 19, a Nebraska judge ruled that the law allowing the Keystone XL pipeline to be built across the State is unconstitutional, thus delaying the project still further.
The greenhouse emissions claims are a huge lie created to advance “global warming”, now called “climate change”, but the bottom line is that Obama is using them as a weapon against the nation’s capacity to grow the economy
We have a President who is doing everything he can to reduce jobs, reduce construction, eliminate coal-fired plants to produce electricity, and to wage an economic war on America.

Wrong Crisis? Wrong Problem? Wrong Solution?...............................from Rico
The "financial crisis" was sold to the suckers as a LIQUIDITY problem, when in fact it was a "banking crisis" and a SOLVENCY problem.
- Liquidity is the temporary inabilty to repay debt.
- Solvency is the complete inability to repay debt.
The FED's QEternity is all about giving the insolvent TBTF banks more access to debt.
- With a debt-based currency and a debt-based economy, that is really all a Keynesian can do...until mathematics makes it impossible to continue.

And see if you can read this piece of wisdom from a Haaretz alumna without your head spinning.

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.
