WHISKEY REBELLION
This day - September 24th 1794 - marks the first invasion of Pennsylvania by a Southern Army. Like the better-known events of 1863, this campaign was also led by a Virginian:
General "Lighthorse Harry" Lee, Revolutionary War Hero and father of future Confederate General Robert E. Lee

He's joking, right?............from Rico
Surely the Beard (Ben Bernanke) is joking. Ben of the Fed actually said with a straight face that the recession (depression) has ended. He's kidding, right?
- Sure, take his word for it. Go right ahead, but if bullshit was money we'd all be billionaires too!!!
Trying to sustain the unsustainable.
Debt in the US banking system is being absorbed by the Fed. Almost all major banks are bankrupt. You do not want to have a lot of money in banks, CD's, annuities or US Gov't obligations (the USG is bankrupt too).
Whether the Fed self-destructs from absorbing bad debt, or is legislatively killed, the Treasury and Goldman Sachs-JP Morgan could partly fill the role of the Fed between them, but whatever happens it seems that the US Dollar is being sacrificed to save the equities and bond markets.
Last May the Dollar was at 89.5 on the USDX (a peak). Look for 71.2 by end october or year end. Next level will eventually be 40-55 where I expect an official devaluation.
- The 'old' dollar will be replaced by a 'new' dollar. Between 2010-2012?
Unrelated, sort of.
Just to sweeten your day, policies of the current mis-administration seem so wrong-headed as to be funny...were they not being vigorously pursued! Think I'm being partisan and harsh?
Consider this - Thanks to FOIA we know that the Obama Administration has privately concludedthat the cap-and-trade law will cost American taxpayers $200 billion per year (the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by 15%). Sadly, this is not the only scheme in the works.
Competition is fierce inside the beltway for the newest Czar position: Boob Czar.

MARINE CHARGED WITH FAKING WAR WOUNDS, DECORATIONS FOR GAIN
I'm re-posting this story on STORMBRINGER because it's always good to bust phony war heroes. The way I learned it, it's one thing to be woofing some far-out war stories to some blonde in a bar, but you never lie to a fellow warrior. This douchebag took it above and beyond that, he not only lied to his own Corps, he lied to the kids. The good news is it looks like he will do some hard time for his phony valor. Read on . . . S.L.
Marine Sgt. David W. Budwah, phoney wannabe.
This worthless piece of human debris scammed his own Corps, he scammed America, and worst of all, he scammed kids. Read what he did -

Stunning......
These incredible images of waves were taken by the #1 photographer of surf: Clark Little. He has dedicated his life to photographing the waves and has published a selection of the best images of his career. He captures magical moments inside the "tube", as surfers say.

Eat right..........
Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.
Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin C.
Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system.
Walk for at least an hour a day, go for a swim, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.
Wash your hands often. If you can’t wash them, keep a bottle of antibacterial stuff around.
Get lots of fresh air. Open doors & windows whenever possible.
Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.
Get plenty of rest.
OR ………
Take the doctor’s approach.
Think about it…
When you go for a shot, what do they do first?
They clean your arm with alcohol…
Why?
Because alcohol KILLS GERMS.
So…….
I walk to the liquor store. (exercise)
I put lime in my Corona (fruit)
Celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies)
Drink outdoors on the bar patio..(fresh air)
Tell jokes, laugh….(eliminate stress)
Then pass out. (rest)
The way I see it…
If you keep your alcohol levels up, flu germs can’t get you.
My grandmother always said, “A shot in the glass is better than one in the ass.”
