Comrade Mao says merry Christmas

At first I thought "you have got to be kidding me". Then I thought "why does this surprise you?". And then I thought " well, if anyone needed any more proof that he is a narcissistic communist bastard, here it is; and if this don't convince you then you are a hopeless moron".
Yes, that is right, christmas ornaments on the white house tree with chairman Mao's face. Christmas ornaments on the white house tree with chairman Zero's face pasted pn mt. Rushmore. Read it and weep or read it and gag.

Back to the Dilemma at hand with a new option

The Kook’s age old and much mind-torturing dilemma:  When it comes to politicians; after really distilling, refracting, running it through the Gas Chromatographic Mass Spectrometer…you are really faced with (I used to say two) three conclusions. 

 

They are:

 

 

 

1.  Rampant, zealous, drooling, incompetence, of the sort not usually  seen amongst non recipients of the Darwin Award.


2. Dr. Doom level,  Lex Luthorian, Jokeresque,  Pure D undiluted® Evil  that usually only exists in comic books or movies.
  
3. Wild Eyed, Hale Bopp, Jonestownian, Make love not war, pass the weed, galactic do gooder, know it all, True Believers in Progressivism.

My opinion on this changes daily, sometimes hourly, with the headlines. There is a strong case for option #2, but there is a logical axiom that roughly translated states “never ascribe to evil, what incompetence will answer” which strengthens the case for number 1.  However, as cynical and realistic  pessimistic as I am. One would really, really, have to stretch to believe in the enormous levels of stupidity that would be necessary to a)have people so stupid as to vote for representatives that stupid b) those people who are that stupid be able to actually find the polls be able to vote for people that incredibly stupid.  However this argument is strongly supported by the website “People of Wal-Mart”. 

At least for today, the strongest contender is Option #3.  These know it all do-gooders on a galactic scale TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY believe (well most of them anyway) that they are SUPERIOR than the Citizenry as a whole and one way of another, by hook or (mostly) by crook, they are going to do what is best for us, even if it kills U.S. (meaning us), whether we like it or not.
 

History, the sum of human knowledge, all logic and reason, be damned.  You see, you simply cannot use logic, reason, and finely structured arguments, evidence, or case histories to dissuade someone who is dealing purely on emotion and faith to sway them from their belief.  They have Faith, Faith in themselves and their vision, faith that they are superior and a belief that they are both correct and have have the responsibility and mandate to kill us with kindness

MAN, I still don’t know which option I fear the most, and the worst part  is…even if we beat them again this time.  We will have to defeat it again, and again, and again.  Progressivism is like the evil offspring of Voldemort, The Terminator, and the Energizer Bunny. 

Question: How many freaking times does history have to prove the fallacy of this ideaology? 

Answer: Every. Time.

Who Owns The Land in the United States, what is the Rentenmark, and the Zimbabwe Economy.

  The united states government owns 30% of all land in the United States right off of the top.  But more than that, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own half of all outstanding mortgage debt or about $6 Trillion worth.  Harder to get a handle one is how much of the still remaining mortgage debt is owned by banks that by virtue of receiving TARP money are run by the Government.  If the bank that you owe your mortgage payment to is run by the government then your mortgage is basically government owned.   The States also own land, one of the guvernator’s ideas in Caulifornya was to sell state parks to the fed.  As State budgets get worse there may be more who start to think that is a good idea. I think it would be safe to say that very near 50% of land in this nation is owned by the Feral Government.

So?

In 1914 Germany abandoned Gold as the backing for their currency (we did it in steps finally abandoning it completely in the seventies) and began printing money based on Trust in the Federal Government (like the dollar) this was called the Papeiermark.

   After WWI Germany was forced to pay reparations to the rest of Europe.  To pay their debt they printed money…well like we are.  This caused inflation to be so horribly bad… well here was the joke: “Grandma put her money in her grocery basket to go to the store, a mugger stole the basket and left the money.”   Soon this currency was totally worthless (this is what happens when you put your trust in the government).

 

Along came Hjalmar Schacht.  He was basically the Hank Paulson/Tim Geithner  of Germany.  What the Germans did to get their currency under control was to create a new currency, the Rentenmark.  The new Rentenmark currency was based on Real Estate.  Horace Schacht mortgaged all the land owned by Germany and created money with the mortgaged land. He sold the German land.  He mortgaged the house.  He sold the farm.  My personal opinion of Schacht was that he did what he felt he had to do given the situation he was placed in.  It did work, but at what price?

So…Germany owned a lot of foreign countries a lot of money…and they printed money as fast as they could…to pay their debt…causing their money to be worthless…so then…because they already owned a lot of the land in the country…they mortgaged all the land they owned…and made new money.

Hey wait a minute… we are printing money fast enough to make ink worth more than oil…and we owe foreign countries a lot of money…and our country owns nearly half of land and homes in the country… hmmm

Beck mentioned this whole scenario on his show one day a month or so ago and I have read up on it since then.

My previous theory was that he would run our debt up so much we would go into a world bankruptcy court and and as a condition of accepting a world currency and losing stature in the world our debt would be written off. Obama would sell a Global Currency and Global Government to the American people by saying that we are so screwed we HAVE to accept the global currency, .  But this is even more plausible.

Using this idea it also begins to make sense why we have laws preventing oil drilling even though there is a lot of oil left in our country we are just sitting on.  Ditto for coal mining, and many other resources.  IT MAKES THE LAND WORTH MORE.

It has to be something similar to this, because no group of even marginally sane individuals could spend the kind of money they are spending without any thought to what will happen. Not that our politicians are sane.

So what is the worst that could happen.  Zimbabwe could happen that is what.  All of the information is readily available so here is what happened in a nutshell.

In the 80’s and 90’s despite droughts Zimbabwe had a decent economy.  It was largely agricultural but the country also had large mineral deposits which were lucrative.  They had adequate electricity and transportation was good.  Then the new ruler of the country decided to “spread the wealth around” and take all the land from the producers and give it to local “oppressed” people and the agricultural output fell over 50%. To help the problem the Government created they began to regulate, well, everything. As a result “Atlas Shrugged”  Now they have to buy electricity because they cannot fix their equipment.  Foreign investment is gone.  Interest rates are well north of 200% (fantastic but true) and unemployment is around 80%.  It is the Obama model.  It is the change I believe they believe in.

Thoughts on Terrorism and Protests

  AD33is working on a post for later and I don’t want to step on his toes, but I do want to share some of the thoughts I have, and express the sentiments I share with my fellow bloggers and readers. I agree with BBCW:

We Can't Forget the Congressional Terrorists

Once again a national tragedy happens at the most coincidental of times. The conspiracists will talk, and why shouldn't they. During the week of both the healthcare bill and cap and trade votes, we watch the most tragic act of radical Islamic terrorism take place within our country. This of course shifts our thoughts away from Congress as we search for answers

and here

Obama Puts Himself First Before the Military Once Again

…Upon news of the shooting yesterday, Obama got on the stage of where he was speaking and started handing out congratulations out to various members of the audience. Obama knew about the attack at Fort Hood, and he sent shout outs with laughs to the audience. Of course, the media has taken the first 1:52 seconds from his speech and cuts into the middle of his speech. …

and he beat me to this too:

Making Nidal Malik Hasan a Victim

It’s already started. They are making Nidal Malik Hasan a victim. I didn’t even have to look hard.

On the MSN, homepage, the cite the New York Times is already running a story making Hasan the victim. The slimes at the Times have contacted Hasan’s relatives and claim he was harassed for being a devout Muslim. Yeah, let’s forget that Hasan expressed sympathy for Islamic suicide bombers, and let’s get the human side of him. He suffered because of his faith, and the harassment could have absolutely nothing to do with his sympathy for people looking to kill American soldiers. It just makes me sick, but we knew this was coming. I don’t think any of us expected so soon.

Of course LCR said it well as usual:

This afternoon, knee deep in the Bachmann-rally stuff, I did catch the Obamanation press conference on this story. It was bizarre, to say the least. He seemed to beat around the bush before getting to the news of the shooting. Anyone else note the same?

Also, I cannot even tell you the words here that I would use to describe leadership in our Capitol if they use this tragedy to force a secret-distract vote on HR 3962 on Saturday. Am I right?

Dittos to what BNGfan has to say:

Tragedy at Fort Hood: Obama's Excuse?

Yesterday, Major Nadal Malik Hasan opened fire on troops stationed at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, killing 12 and wounding 31. A psychiatrist, Hasan allegedly opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and wanted out before being deployed to Iraq. He remains in stable condition as of this writing.
While the media will be analyzing this tragedy and trying to make sense out of a senseless act, I can't help but think that this unfortunate event could be used by BHO to further his radical Communist agenda….

First, we need to wonder whether this will be Obama's reason to not commit more troops to Afghanistan and pull out completely from Iraq….

Second, we can most likely anticipate an increase in the gun control rhetoric….

Third, I look for the shooting to possibly be used to further an even more apologetic stance towards the Muslim community due to the fact that the nutjob who killed 12 troops in one fell swoop was an adherent to the "religion of peace."…

While all of this is pure speculation on my part, experience has shown us that nothing can be put past a liberal with an agenda and an ax to grind. And let's be honest. That's exactly what we have residing in the White House.

I could not agree more!

Angel  and I agree:

Unconfirmed reports indicate that Major Hasan was a convert to Izzzzzzlam. He was reportedly scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan and guess what?..He was unhappy about it. A recent Muzlim convert, perhaps. Not Irish. Not Amish. Oh..not even Jewish. [Or Mormon,  or Catholic, or Baptist, or Hindi, or Buddhist.  Nope, not even a or Rastafarian,Nor Pastafarian, or an Atheist, or an Agnostic uh uh.] The most malevolent, insidious MoooohaMADans are those who revert into the cult.

If someone commits a violent act in the name of a political, religious or even social cause IT’s called TERRORISM. [damn skippy!]

Even some of the comments on different blogs sum up my thoughts:

j summ said... religion of piece(s) strikes again. guy could got out anytime he wanted, he was an officer all he had to do was resign his commission.

True justice would be turning him over to the families of the victims.

blackandgoldfan said... Co-inky-dink, BB??? HELL NO!!!
I'm with ya. When it looks like BHO's policies might be in trouble, we have some incident arise. It's just sad that so many people were killed or injured.

Right Click gets it right as usual:

“It's too early to draw conclusions, but it's not too early to ask questions:”

• Question:  Why was this whacko reported as dead and now he is found alive?  Interesting ?
• Question:  What happened to the reports of other shooter, now Hasan was the “Lone Gunman”  Interesting?
• Question:  When we will ever wake up to the reality that profiling be damned we don’t need or want Muslims in our country, on our planes, or for damn sure not in our military?

I guess the only point I have left to make after reading everyone else’s thoughts is that we all may be crazy, but at least we are unified in our craziness.  It is amazing to me that so many people have the same reactions thoughts and questions on this issue.  That says something.

Hate crimes : Eric Holder, FBI, from The Right Stuff

One of my associates and best blogging buddies BlackAndGoldFan put this post together and it is mind blowing. Check it out:

http://therightstuffbng.blogspot.com/2009/10/fbi-eric-holder-and-hate-crimes.html

What constitutes a "hate crime?" According to the FBI, a subdivision of the Department of Justice, the official definition is a "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." Sounds pretty fair, eh? I mean, we'd all agree that crime itself is bad enough, but targeting someone just because of their skin color makes it worse, right?

A House resolution passed this summer as part of a larger defense bill. Here's the title of the resolution:

PROHIBITION ON RECRUITMENT, ENLISTMENT, OR RETENTION OF PERSONS ASSOCIATED OR AFFILIATED WITH GROUPS ASSOCIATED WITH HATE-RELATED VIOLENCE AGAINST GROUPS OR PERSONS OR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

That's right. The U.S. Government has put itself on a par with Matthew Shepard and James Byrd. Commit a crime against a black in the name of white supremacy? Hate crime. Beat a homosexual to a bloody pulp while yelling slurs? Hate crime. Organize a rally against government policy in the name of freedom? Hate crime.




The most disturbing part of the legislative text lies within Section 524. This part of the text must have been written by George Orwell himself. The resolution uses the phrase "...as determined by the Attorney General" multiple times. In short, current Attorney General Eric Holder will determine what constitutes a hate crime. The Founding Fathers would have called this tyranny, and they would have been exactly right.

Subsection 2 of Section 524 reads as follows:

A “Hate Group” is defined both explicitly and as “other groups or organizations that are determined by the attorney general to be of a violent and extremist in nature.”

The "evidence" that a person belongs to what is deemed a "hate group" by the AG is defined very clearly in Subsection 3 of Section 524 of the resolution.

“...a person is associated or affiliated with a group associated with hate-related violence...Individuals known to have attended meetings, rallies, conferences, or other activities sponsored by a hate group. Individuals known to be involved in online activities with a hate group, including being engaged in online discussion groups or blog or other postings that support, encourage, or affirm the group’s extremist or violent views and goals. Individuals who are known to have in their possession photographs, written testimonials (including diaries or journals), propaganda, or other materials indicating involvement or affiliation with a hate group. Such materials can include photographs, written materials relating to or referring to extreme hatred that are clearly not of an academic nature, possession of objects that venerate or glorify hate inspired violence, and related materials, as determined by the Attorney General.” [emphasis mine]

Now, let's put the pieces together. Eric Holder has free reins to determine who is and is not a member of a "hate group," a term determined by Holder's personal whims. And let's be real: Holder isn't exactly the paradigm of fairness.

The firm he worked for before ascending to AG has represented enemy combatants housed at Guantanamo Bay, and Holder himself has said:

"In the end, Guantanamo will be closed, and I think that that is an appropriate thing to do, given the fact that it has served and I think continues to serve as a recruiting for those who intend to do this nation harm, and has served as a wedge between us and those nations that are our allies."

So there it is. His rationale for closing Gitmo is because it keeps the radical Muslims plotting against us. FYI, Mr. Holder: They hate us and want us dead whether Gitmo stays open or not.

The determination of a "hate crime" lies in the hands of one man should this come to pass.

"Mr. Orwell....paging Mr. Orwell..."



And now, on to the FBI...


THE FBI CONNECTION TO HATE CRIMES

At the beginning of this post, I gave you the FBI definition of a "hate crime." How does this all tie together with AG Eric Holder? It's a little murky, but stay with me.

As AG, Holder is the last say so for the FBI. The FBI director reports to Holder and Obama. That's it. So let's say, hypothetically, that the FBI receives information that a small group of church members are planning to organize an anti-abortion rally on the steps of the Supreme Court. Not wanting an ugly scene, Holder could then have the FBI investigate said church members. If any literature found within their homes is deemed as evidence of belonging to a "hate group" by Holder, the little old lady who decided to help stop the scourge of abortion by peacefully protesting will be brought up on "hate crime" charges. It's the Gestapo on steroids.

Who would be giving information to the FBI of potential hate crimes? Hang on, folks. This will blow your mind.

From the FBI website under the heading of "Public Outreach":

The FBI has forged partnerships nationally and locally with many civil rights organizations to establish rapport, share information, address concerns, and cooperate in solving problems. These groups include such organizations as the NAACP, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium, and the National Organization for Women.

This is a virtual rogue's gallery of leftist groups. If they feel a "hate crime" has been committed, or let's say that they've just gotten their panties in a twist, they go directly to their partner, the FBI. And who does the FBI report to? If you said "The AG, who will determine what constitutes a 'hate crime'", move to the head of the class.

One group that jumped out at me on the FBI site was the Southern Poverty Law Center. This is one of the most whiny group of progressives and socialists to take up space in this country, and they have an interactive map of what they have dubbed "hate groups" in each state.

In my home state of Pennsylvania, here are some of the groups put into the same category as the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nation.
Catholic Counterpoint
Alliance for Catholic Tradition
Council of Conservative Citizens
Catholic Apologetics International
While I know nothing about these groups and their methods, I will say, in all fairness, that the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam are also on the SPLC list of "hate groups." But since when is belonging to a group of conservative citizens equated with belonging to the Klan? Maybe since the partnership with Eric Holder's FBI was formed? It is quite the possibility.


I wonder if Eric Holder and the FBI are following this advice:

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. -- Josef Stalin

So, What if the Dollar Fails: Simple Breakdown

I am not an economist but I have tried to make myself understand what it would mean for the dollar to lose its credibility. We have to start with a little history.

1. After WWII we were the ONLY industrialized nation whose economy was functioning properly. In a very real sense, we rebuilt Europe.
2. Nations historically have paid their debts using Gold. Gold is a rare substance; there is only so much in the world, and that is one reason it has always been used as currency. So after WWII all the nations of Europe and really the world were broke from the war and they were buying everything that they could from us (using gold). We told them that we would hold all their gold and to make trade really easy
everyone could just use the dollar. Gold is difficult and dangerous (theft) to transport and really for the amounts of money that were being traded it was no longer working all that well. So we got almost all the Gold and everyone else gets to use Dollars. The de facto currency of world trade is the dollar and oil among other things, is only traded in dollars (for now).

So what does it then mean if other countries dump the dollar?

Imagine that the world is a community. Imagine that each country is a business in this community. Let's say that the United States is Wal-Mart. Every business in the United States lists prices in dollars. So each store has gift cards. Now imagine that Wal-Mart was so large and profitable that other businesses begin using Wal-Mart gift cards (Wallybucks) as cash instead of Dollars (gold). ---–that is all a real Dollar is, a gift card redeemable for stuff in the United States, except everyone has agreed that they will also redeem the United States’ gift cards because they are as “good as gold.”—(back to our scenario)

The result of this is that Wal-Mart ends up with all the dollars (gold) and the rest of the stores end up full of Wal-Mart Wallybucks. Everyone is happy because Wal-Mart is huge and insanely rich and they PROMISED that they would not ruin their Wallybucks. In our little imaginary world Wal-Mart then begins to mismanage things. They open too many stores and they pay their people too much; there are way more people employed in management than there are employed as workers. They begin to give their employees insane perks like everyone gets a new house and a car. They borrow lots and lots of their own gift cards from other people to pay for things they want to do in their stores like repainting things and buying bigger shopping carts. They start giving ice cream cones out to every shopper. Slowly Wal-Mart profits cannot keep up with their spending and are not enough to meet their debts but they just keep cranking out Wallybuck gift cards (because they can). Soon, other stores start to notice that Wally world gift cards are not worth quite as much as they used to be because Wal-Mart's stuff is not worth as much as it used to be. So Target, Sears, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, and Walgreens get together and they say... “Not too sure about still honoring those Wal-Mart Wallybuck gift cards. Let's just go together and make a Unibuck and we can all honor each others Unibucks but not Wal-Mart’s Wallybucks any more”. As a result of that everyone everywhere who holds Wallybucks that used to be “good as gold” everywhere , now just have…store credit at Wal-Mart. Blah, everyone hates having Store Credit. Store Credit is not as good as Cash. Wal-Mart gift cards are now only good at Wal-Mart meaning that Wal-Mart has tons of gift cards out there that used to be traded to everyone and now they have to honor all that outstanding debt obligation because they are the only store still redeeming Wallybucks. They cannot possibly cover that debt so what are they to do?
They either have to artificially raise prices to make it take more gift cards to pay for products. They cannot do that because then no one will ever shop there; or, make 20 Wallybucks not be able to buy what it did yesterday, or twenty seconds ago. Let’s say that 20 Wallybucks are now worth what 2 Wallybucks would have bought last week.

So everyone has truckloads of Wallybucks but Wallybucks are not worth much of anything anymore; now Unibucks are much more versatile and you can use them anywhere. All the other stores get richer while Wal-Mart fails.

But everyone says, hey but Wal-Mart has all the dollars (gold) because that is what the other stores traded to Wal-Mart to get the Wallybucks, and that is right they do. But who will set the price of the dollar (gold)? The people who have the new Unibucks will. They get to decide how much one dollar is worth in Unibucks. And realistically by this time Wallybucks (Dollars) are not tied to Dollars (Gold)anymore because president Carter suspended that indefinitely in 1971. ---We have what is now called a fiat currency, which means that it is worth something because we say so and people trust Wal-Mart (United States)---

Make sense? If other countries dump the dollar then our gold won't even be worth as much. And if you get stuck holding dollars instead of the new currency it is worthless.

But maybe you are thinking.. The downfall of the U.S. will also cause other countries to lose value... I thought about that too. We have the largest economy in the world. So if we are not able to buy then other countries will not be able to sell. Aha! Remember and realize most other countries are either dictatorships or socialists of one stripe or another. Most of them do not work under the assumption that wealth is created and not distributed. So, naturally, they think that a failure of the United States will ultimately lead them to greater prosperity. They believe that there is only so much wealth in the world and we have too much of it. We have more than our "fair share". Now I hope that anyone who reads this sees the ridiculousness of this notion when applied to my little scenario, but it is exactly what Obama is peddling. That “it is better when you spread the wealth around.” Anyone with any critical thinking skills can see that if we fail, so goes the rest of the world.

Which brings me to that place I always hate to go. Why, as Alfred would say, do they “just want to see the world burn?” Because they want to REMAKE it. They want to break all the toys so that they can get new ones. They want to be able to get CONTROL. They do not want to change the rules; they want to create a new (very old) game. That is the only logical reasonable outcome. It is literally enough to keep me awake at night writing stories about Wallybucks…

The New Party – A little remembered fact.

The New Party was a third political party in the United States that was active from 1992 to 1998.

The New Party was founded in the early 1990s by Daniel Cantor, a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign, and by sociology and law professor Joel Rogers as an effort to break with the largely unsuccessful history of left-leaning third parties in the United States.

The party could best be described as social democratic (for those that do not know, social democracy supports positions that include support for a democratic welfare state merging elements of socialism and capitalism, resulting in a mixed economy combined with a comprehensive welfare state) in orientation, although party statements almost invariably used the terms "small-d democratic" or "progressive" instead. Its founders chose the name "New Party" in an effort to strike a fresh tone, free of associations with dogmas and ideological debates.

After a false start in New York, the New Party built modestly successful chapters in several states. Some of these chapters — such as those in Chicago and Little Rock — had their main bases of support in the low-income community organizing group ACORN, along with some support from various labor unions especially the SEIU or Service Employees International Union. Left-wing critics of the New Party, such as supporters of the Green Party, argued that the New Party was merely a pressure group on the fringes of the Democratic Party, rather than a genuinely new political party

My point? We the American People were not told about these things during the campaign or before. If anything Beck, O’Reilly, and all the blogs have been too kind to the legacy media and the Oministration. The ties are deeper and worse than anyone ever imagined. Wait…you didn’t zoom in the picture did you? Look at it. That is right, our Dear Leader was endorsed by this “party”. This got like one mention in the press that I can remember during the election but BHO said that he was not a member of the party and the story lost traction and was forgotten. The more we learn of Van Jones, and the rest of the gang the more we seem shocked at the layers upon layers of connections to Statism (Socialism/Communism, etc.) and Radicalism. We recently learned that Valerie Jarrett’s mother worked for Bill Ayers’ Father. And that her Father in Law was friends with Frank Marshall Davis, who was friends with BHO’s Grandfather. Davis as we all know was a mentor to young Barry Obama-Soetoro. That they all knew each other is a given. I do not want to rehash what many of you know, and if you do not know it just Google those names together to catch up. The point I want to make is that how in heaven’s name did this guy get this far with these ties? We all know the corruption in the so called MSM. But I have difficulty wrapping my head around just how BAD it is. I knew McCain was a lame duck, but I didn't realize just how bad he was either. With all of this DIRT everywhere on the now pResident why on earth did McCain not capitalize on this stuff? How easy would this have been? Sour grapes now, I know. I guess I am just saying that some times I think that maybe, just maybe, I am listening to the wrong things and I have got it all wrong. Then I start reading and googling, and BLAMMO it is worse than I thought.

Make no mistake we have a Statist, Central Planning, Capitalist Hating Anti-Liberty Radical in the White House, and Race ain’t got a damn thing to do with it.

I didn’t want to go there…

But because of the stuff Joel is posting I thought, hey , what the heck. This is all stuff I have been keeping tabs on over the years. It is somewhat stretching me out of my usual KOOKy comfort zone in a true X-files type, Jerry Fletcher realm.. but after you have started to unplug from the Matrix and are already down the rabbit hole, you might as well just see what else is down there. I am not saying that these things are necessarily nefarious, or that a NWO or TEOLAWKI is imminent; all I am saying is that these are definitely real things talked about by real people, in at least semi-official ways.

You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe.You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) is a region-level dialogue with the stated purpose of providing greater cooperation on security and economic issues. The Partnership was founded in Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005 by Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada, Vicente Fox, President of Mexico, and George W. Bush, President of the United States. It is the second of such regional-level agreements involving the United States of America following the 1997 Partnership for Prosperity and Security in the Caribbean (PPS).

These working groups are tasked with implementing the SPP as initiated by the North American Heads of Government on March 23, 2005. They consult with stakeholders; set specific, measurable, and achievable goals and implementation dates; and issue semi-annual progress reports. A 24-month agenda is established to serve as a timeline milestone to have the initial framework fully developed.

The stated goals of the SPP are cooperation and information sharing, improving productivity, reducing the costs of trade, enhancing the joint stewardship of the environment, facilitating agricultural trade while creating a safer and more reliable food supply, and protecting people from disease.

It is intended to assist, rather than replace, existing bilateral and trilateral institutions like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and claims to work towards the three North American countries working cooperatively in the face of common risks and economic competition from low cost comulti-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America.

Okay…sounds sorta so-so creepy right? Ok…

The North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) is an official tri-national working group of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). It was created at the second summit of the SPP in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico, in March 2006. The SPP is an agreement between the leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico to work towards a more integrated North American economy and security region. Composed of 30 corporate representatives from some of North America's largest companies, the North American Competitiveness Council has been mandated to set priorities for the SPP and to act as a stable driver of the integration process through changes in government in all three countries.

While the NACC was officially born on March 31, 2006 at the second annual summit of the SPP of North America, its seeds were planted three months earlier. On January 10 and 11, 2006, United Parcel Service, the Council of the Americas and the North American Business Committee convened a "public/private sector dialogue on the SPP" in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The meeting was attended by 50 government officials and business leaders from Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, including officials from the Canadian Privy Council Office, the Mexican Presidency, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and corporate reps from ExxonMobil, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Tyco, and FedEx.

Okay…weirder..right? What is this Council of the Americas?

Founded in 1965 by David Rockefeller and a group of like-minded business people, it is the US section of the "North American Business Committee" founded in 1948. Since that time, membership has grown to over two-hundred corporations, including some of the largest US blue-chip companies (see below), which the Council claims represents the majority of those US corporations that have private investments in Latin America.

The Council regularly hosts presidents, cabinet ministers, central bankers, government officials, and leading experts from across the Americas in economics, politics, business, and finance. This practice affords it unique access to information and insights into the evolution of the entire region.

The Council has also campaigned for Trade Promotion Authority, usually referred to as "fast track", which gives the president of the US authority to negotiate trade agreements that cannot be amended by Congress, and are voted on as only 'yes' or 'no'. In effect from 1975 to 1994 – during which time it resulted in NAFTA – it was restored in 2002 by the US Trade Promotion Authority Act.

Huh…some of the same players Joel has been posting on, but hey, to be fair they are all the largest companies, and those lists are going to stay pretty consistent right? And they are just TALKING about this stuff right, pie in the sky thinking? Hmmm

The Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) is a transportation network in the planning and early construction stages in the U.S. state of Texas. The network, as originally envisioned, would be composed of a 4,000-mile (6,400 km) network of supercorridors up to 1,200 feet (370 m) wide to carry parallel links of tollways, rails, and utility lines.It is intended to route long-distance traffic around population centers, and to provide stable corridors for future infrastructure improvements – such as new power lines from wind farms in West Texas to the cities in the east – without the otherwise often lengthy administrative and legal procedures required to build on privately owned land. The tollway portion would be divided into two separate elements: truck lanes and lanes for passenger vehicles. Similarly, the rail lines in the corridor would be divided among freight, commuter, and high-speed rail. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) intends to "charge public and private concerns for utility, commodity or data transmission" within the corridor,^[2] in essence making a toll road for services such as water, electricity, natural gas, petroleum, fiber optic lines, and other telecommunications services. The network will be funded by private investors and built and expanded as demand warrants.

In 2009, TxDOT decided to phase out the all-in-one corridor concept in favor of developing separate rights-of-way for road, rail, and other infrastructure using more traditional corridor widths for those modes.

I have family down there, phase out my A$$, they may have put it on hold, but the land is bought…

One component of the TTC will stretch from new and expanded ports on the Pacific coast of Mexico all the way up to the Great Lakes. Proponents of the TTC intend on drawing shipping traffic away from U.S. ports in California (Los Angeles and Long Beach) and direct that traffic to Mexican seaports

But they are just talking about Texas right?

The North American SuperCorridor Coalition (NAASCO) is a non-profit organization that seeks to develop an international multi-modal transportation system (huh…wasn’t that one of the stated goals of the SPP?) along the International Mid-Continent Trade Corridor, which it claims will improve trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America. NASCO's scope encompasses Interstate highways I-35, I-29, and I-94 and the significant east/west connectors to those highways in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The public has referred to I-35 as the "NAFTA superhighway". NASCO now includes the former North American International Trade Corridor Partnership, a nonprofit organization in Mexico. Membership includes public and private sector entities along the corridor in all three participating countries, including the Texas Department of Transportation, who is building the Trans-Texas Corridor. http://www.nascocorridor.com/

Still not seeing the connections?

The Independent Task Force on the Future of North America …

advocates a greater economic and social integration between Canada, Mexico, and the United States as a region. It is a group of prominent business, political and academic leaders from the U.S., Canada and Mexico organized and sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations (U.S.), the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, and the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations. It was co-chaired by former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, John Manley, former Finance Minister of Mexico, Pedro Aspe, and former Governor of Massachusetts and Assistant U.S. Attorney General William F. Weld.

It was launched in October 2004 and published Task Force Report #53 entitled, Building a North American Community (May 2005). As well as it accompanying Chairmen’s Statement, Creating a North American Community (March 2005).A press release called Trinational Call for a North American Economic and Security Community by 2010 preceded the publications on March 14, 2005.

The final report proposed increased international cooperation between the nations of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, similar in some respects to that of the European Community that preceded the European Union. As this report states, "The Task Force's central recommendation is establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter."

Lastly I have mentioned this on the blog before…

The AMERO

The idea for a North American currency union was first proposed in 1999 by Canadian economist Herbert G. Grubel, a senior fellow of the conservative Fraser Institute think-tank, he published a book titled The Case for the Amero in September 1999,the year that the euro became a virtual currency. Another Canadian think-tank, the C.D. Howe Institute, advocates the creation of a shared currency between Canada and the United States.

Dr. Robert Pastor, (where was his name before?) in a 2001 book, suggested a common currency should be a foundation of "macro economic cooperation" among the three NAFTA countries. However, the 2005 Independent Task Force on North America, which he chaired, did not recommend a common currency, nor does Pastor in the section for additional and dissenting views suggest a common currency should be a goal.

OHHH I know … too weird…well get a load of this:

The Bancor was a World Currency Unit that was proposed by John Maynard Keynes, (of Keynesian Economics fame; AKA the Democrat Party Fiscal Policy Bible) as leader of the British delegation and chairman of the World Bank commission, in the negotiations that established the Bretton Woods system, but was never implemented.

It was to be initially fixed in terms of 30 commodities, of which one would be gold. It would stabilize the average prices of commodities, and with them the international medium of exchange and a store of value. Central to Keynes' proposal was to tax countries' current account surpluses, encouraging domestic demand and promoting global trade balance

But Wait, in NewGen’s post I reposted the other day Nameless Cynic said that nothing of the sort was going to happen…he said,

“Memo to Michelle Bachmann: Special drawing rights are not a new currency. We won't be buying our groceries with them.”

I believe he based this belief on what Timmah the Tax Cheat Geithner (and who wouldn’t trust that guy for factual information?) said:

"I haven’t read the governor’s proposal. He’s a very thoughtful, very careful distinguished central banker. I generally find him sensible on every issue," Geithner said, saying that however his interpretation of the proposal was to increase the use of International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights -- shares in the body held by its members -- not creating a new currency in the literal sense.
"We’re actually quite open to that suggestion – you should see it as rather evolutionary rather building on the current architecture rather than moving us to global monetary union," he said.
"The only thing concrete I saw was expanding the use of the [special drawing rights]," Geithner said. "Anything he’s thinking about deserves some consideration."
The continued use of the dollar as a reserve currency, he added, "depends..on how effective we are in the United States...at getting our fiscal system back to the point where people judge it as sustainable over time."
Memo to Michelle Bachmann: Special drawing rights are not a new currency. We won't be buying our groceries with them.

But this was in the news prior to the G8 Summit:

ROME – China, Russia and Brazil will use this week's G8 summit in Italy to push their view that the world needs to think about a new global reserve currency as an alternative to the dollar, officials said on Tuesday.
As leaders of the Group of Eight rich nations and the major developing powers traveled to Italy for a three-day summit starting on Wednesday, it seemed unlikely the currency debate would get a specific mention in summit documents.
But both G8 member Russia and emerging power Brazil -- which like China and India is a member of the "G5" that joins the second day of the summit on Thursday -- echoed China's calls for the currency debate to be taken up by world leaders.
Top Kremlin economic aide Arkady Dvorkovich said China and Russia would "state their stance that the global currency system needs smooth evolutionary development."
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva said he was keen to explore "the possibility of new trade relations not dependent on the dollar" and India has also said it is open to the debate.

So anyway I know this post is hugely long, but I wanted to do it in one shot. What I was not able to get in this post without making is Super Ridiculous Long is that the IMF, the World Bank, and Chase are all in cahoots up to their ears with David Rockefeller. All these groups have the same mixture of Companies and individuals as members to one varying degree or another, but they break up their tasks into different groups to obfuscate the total picture.

Oh and by the way to all you Nameless Cynics out there, you are absolutely right, NO ONE is thinking about doing all of this stuff… None of it is even in the realm of possibility. No one wants to do anything of the sort, we made it all up. And if you believe THAT…any of ya’ll wanna buy a bridge? I can make you a good deal on it.

Bankrupt America pt. 4 (The Plan!)

Norman Thomas for many years the U.S. Socialist candidate for President (at least he was honest about it) stated "The American People will never knowingly accept socialism. But, under the name "liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened." While that has not totally happened yet, it's very close to being true. If we do not stand up now and put a hard stop to this, it will happen.

In 1958, Cleon Skoussen, former FBI agent revealed in his book: The Naked Communist the long term goals of the communist agenda. This info is also contained both in Congressional Record (August 1963) and also where it was printed originally in the Communist Manifesto itself. The ones that pertain to us have been listed here:

1. U.S acceptance of coexistence is the only alternative to atomic war.

2. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S. would be a demonstration of moral strength

3. Permit free trade regardless of communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

4. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of communist domination.

5 Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

6. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If it's charter is rewritten, demand that it be set as a one world government with it's own forces.

7. Resist any attempt to outlaw the communist party

8. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

9. Capture one or both political parties.

10. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming that their activities violate civil rights.

11. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current propaganda. Get control of the teachers associations.

12. Gain control of all student newspapers.

13. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, and policy making positions.

14. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

15. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorship and a violation of free speech

16. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures and t.v.

17. Present homosexuality degeneracy and promiscuity as normal natural and healthy

18. Infiltrate the Churches and replace revealed religion with social religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a religious church.

19. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principles in separation of Church and state.

20. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned and out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

21. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage teaching American history on the ground that it was only a minor part in the big picture.

22. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the communist apparatus

23. Eliminate the House committee on Un-American activities.

24. Discredit the Family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

25. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents.

26. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition.; that students and special interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic political and social problems.

Now you folks can decide for yourselves how far along the plans of our enemies have come. What do you think they will do when these plans are accomplished to the extent of their desire. Think it over today. We'll continue tomorrow.

Incompetence Or Evil – You Tell Me

We have posted on this before, many of us bloggers. I could go down a list as long as my arm, dates, dollars, times, corruption, malfeasance, complete disconnect with mainstream America. But most of you also watch the only non-state run news agency, listen to crazy right wing radio stations, and read blogs like this one, and others. So let me just ask you: ARE THEY REALLY THAT INCOMPETENT, OR IS IT EVIL? Hanlon's Razor states::

"Do not invoke conspiracy as explanation when ignorance and incompetence will suffice, as conspiracy implies intelligence."

or put slightly differently

“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”

Occam's razor — States that explanations should never multiply causes without necessity. When two explanations are offered for a phenomenon, the simplest full explanation is preferable. It is often more simply stated as:

“All other things being equal, the simplest explanation is usually the best”

We must also consider the Peter principle, Which states that when people perform well at a lower level function they are allowed to progress up the responsibility ladder until they reach their first level of incompetence where they are neither demoted or terminated, simply put it is expressed this way

"In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."

Well from my perspective it is difficult to believe that there is a wide conspiracy known to all 535 voting members of congress, plus the executive branch. BUT, it is somewhat easier for me to believe that there is a small group who heavily influences this larger group. Still more plausible in my mind, although more sad, is that over time we have allowed a sickness to enter into a once envious system of government. I think it started in academia, spread into journalism and completely took over government. The system the way we have perverted it from what it once was now attracts the duplicitous, greedy, and foolish.

This is one of the two questions which are tied together in my mind which I still cannot adequately answer. 1) Are they just that Stupid, or are they Evil? 2) why on earth did we allow this?

Bankrupt America pt 3(Friends of the Fed)

Now that we've looked at the Fed which is our enemies way of crippling us financially, now we are ready to look at other groups that are behind the agenda that the Fed is motivated by. Most Americans and many of you do not realize how serious this situation this is. These people are well entrenched in our society and their agenda is the end of American prosperity. There are several groups, some you know well, some you may have likely never heard of. Make no mistake, this is the most serious threat America has faced in my lifetime. The source I am using goes deeply into what these groups have planned. First, let's look at the groups that set the agenda for the Fed:

1st. The United Nations: most of us have heard of them. They have a bad reputation, but if Americans really knew what their agenda is, there would be non stop protesting outside that bldg. until the U.N withdrew from American soil

2nd The Council on Foreign Affairs (CFR)This group was instrumental in the Fed's inception, and shares the same agenda with the Fed. For now, I will draw the line at the simple idea that the CFR is a pro-communist, pro UN, and has a globalist agenda. We will explore them deeper later.

3rd Trilateral Comision: The TC was conceived by Zbignew Brzizinski, a communist who supported weakening international borders by strengthening the U.N. The T.C. was founded by David Rockefeller and it holds massive influence with the United States.

So, what do all we get when all these groups act separately for the same goal?

In 1913, at the behest of the newly formed Federal Reserve, the first Income tax was instituted along with the IRS to ensure enforcement. Funds from the income tax were diverted for years to put everything in place to form the U.N.

Starting with Jimmy Carter, all Presidents INCLUDING REAGAN filled their administrations with member of both the Trilateral Commission and the CFR.

The Trilateral Commission and CFR have paid the money necessary to ensure that our government no longer works in our best interest. The T.C. and CFR have pushed for and achieved treaties and trade deals detrimental to America such as NAFTA, GATT, Making China a most favored trade partner and many other international agreements, pacts, and conventions where Communist governments would be equally represented such as the G20 and G8 summits. The CFR and T.C have pushed for "climate change" cap and trade legislation like Kyoto which would be economic suicide for all involved.

When you hear insiders say "we did this to ourselves, now we have to make all these sacrifices to correct it..." That statement was a lie. We the people did not do this to ourselves. We were never told the truth about the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, how it came to be and that the 16th amendment was never legally ratified. We The People did not do this, but we are the only ones that can UNDO this.

Finally, let's look at the assured consequences of these groups, succeeding in implementing their agenda:

Total Redistribution of wealth, property and rights would reduce the standard of living to or worse than a 3rd world country.

Strict Regimentation would become commonplace. There would no longer be freedom of movement, worship, speech, publishing or property rights.

Effort and hard work would be meaningless since there would be no reward

Order would me maintained by U.N style agents who say by and watched ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, and mass rape and Murder in Sudan, yet enforce the rules of their choice by force using similar methods as the Russian KGB.
