Fresh look at the 99%..............from Rico

I liked this "fresh look" at the 99%.

I think it may be very representative, and it is NOT mutually exclusive with membership in the Communist Party USA, ACORN, or any of the other anti-American loser entities ( including Hugo Chavez & Obama-Soetoro) that have thrown their support behind what they 'claim' to be the 99% in their "progressive" wet-dreams, but if they were in REALITY it would call for immediate and repeated 'snake & nape' strikes within our perimeter to disinfect the place...

I can hear the radio crackling now:
"Red leg, red leg! Commies inside the wire! All available tubes unload on my position now!"

Managing MOPE..............from Rico

One positively needs wings to stay above the official bullsh*t.

One way to manage MOPE [management of perception economics] in addition to 'cooking' the books, is to simply LIE.

Unemployment near 9.1%? Both a lie, and utter BS.

www.ShadowStats.com (SGS) balances the MOPE. using the 'old' way of calculating the 'offishul' statistics versus the 'new' way, here is what you get:

Oct unemployment (U) is 9.1% officially, but 22.9% @ SGS.

Who is 'full' of it?

This is how Ice Ages begin



By Robert W. Felix
November 4, 2011
http://iceagenow.info/

Look at this weekend’s Halloween snowstorm. Headlines across the U.S.A. called it “historic.” Historic because it dumped record snowfall on at least 20 cities from Maryland to Maine. Historic because it was the most snow – and the earliest – in many areas since the end of the Civil War.

And we’re not talking mere tenths-of-an-inch here. This snowfall shattered the old records, it obliterated them.

The 14.6 inches of snow that fell in Worcester, Mass., almost doubled its previous single-day October record of 7.5 inches set in 1979, while Hartford’s 12.3 inches crushed the previous single-day October record of 1.7 inches, seven times more than its earlier record.

But with 32 inches (81 cm) of snow, Peru, Massachusetts, won the prize. Two-and-a-half feet! Waist deep! Before Halloween!

This is how ice ages begin.

Not by huge glaciers slowly grinding out of the north, not by temperatures plunging to Siberian levels, but by more and more snow.

Unfortunately, we’re getting that snow.

According to Rutgers University Global Snow Lab, three of the four snowiest winters in the Northern Hemisphere have occurred in the last four years.

Three of the four snowiest Northern Hemisphere winters have occurred since 2008. http://climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/chart_seasonal.php?ui_set=nhland&ui_season=1

Look at last winter.

Last year’s blizzard-filled winter and unusually cold, wet spring left record snowpack at more than 90 measuring sites across the western United States.

By Memorial Day, epic snowpack had been reported in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and California.

On California’s Mammoth Mountain, the snowpack measured an incredible 728 percent of normal.

At Oregon’s Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort, snow totals reached 650 inches, far eclipsing the previous record of 606 inches.

In Washington, Crystal Mountain broke its all-time snowfall record for the second time in only 11 years.

And the snow kept coming. In early June, Utah’s Snowbird ski resort reported snowpack at 525 percent of normal

“There are places on the mountain that will probably retain snow all summer long,” said Emily Moench, Sunbird’s communications manager.

Read that again. “There are places on the mountain that will probably retain snow all summer long”!

This is how ice ages begin!

And lest we forget, just a few months ago the Missouri River suffered its second 500-year flood in 15 years. Why? Because of heavy rains and melting record snowpack.

But the news gets even worse.

Glaciers are growing in the United States.

Even though last winter’s historic snowpack has not yet melted, new snow is already piling up in the Rocky Mountains.

In Montana’s Glacier National Park, in Colorado’s Front Range, in Wyoming’s Grand Tetons, the glaciers and snowfields are actually gaining volume.

When Bob Comey, director of the Bridger-Teton National Forest Avalanche Center, compared photographs of Wyoming mountain peaks, he found “significantly” more ice in the Teton Range compared with two years ago.

“I’ve never seen a season with a gain like we’ve seen this summer,” said Comey.

And when scientist Nel Caine checked on Arikaree Glacier 20 miles west of Boulder, Colorado, he measured between 2 and 3 feet of snow from last winter and spring still remaining in late September.

Meanwhile, scientists have measured a “very modest” increase on Sperry Glacier in Montana’s Glacier National Park.

Mind you, these are not the only glaciers growing in the United States. Glaciers are also growing in California, Alaska and Washington state.

This is how ice ages begin.

And our leaders keep screaming about global warming.

Your nest egg.........from Rico

While Benyamin blathers-on about 'inflation' being about 2%, here is why your nest egg has already been fried, boiled, and scrambled:
- inflation (the real, actual inflation using John William's of ShadowStat's methodology...ie, before the Gov't started cooking its books) is running ~11%.

Of course, if you shop for your own groceries instead of stalking the halls of Macadamia or having your tax-payer funded Personal Assistant shop for you, you already KNOW you are being lied to.

Oh, the mendacity!

Cannes can't, didn't............from Rico

Gee, has it already been a week since the EUrocrats 'solved' their financial crisis in Cannes?

You know the one. Not only can't it be solved, but they didn't solve it...merely jawboned-it once again.
- Their faux-solution lasted all of about 48 hours among the dimmer wits.

And, in the context of the Italian bond-German Bund spread widening, take a look at how Italian Banks have actually fared since we discovered that Cannes can't.
