if you really think it matters...

friday, november 14th, 2014

please don't claim anything changes if one party or the other is in the majority. Anyone clinging to that fantasy is delusional.

(Full title: "If You Really Think It Matters Which Party Controls the Senate, Answer These Questions".)

If you really think it matters which political party controls the U.S. Senate, please answer these questions. Don't worry, they're not that difficult:

1. Will U.S. foreign policy in the Mideast change from being an incoherent pastiche of endless war and Imperial meddling? Please answer with a straight face. We all know the answer is that it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

 

2. Will basic civil liberties be returned to the citizenry? You know, like the cops are no longer allowed to steal your cash when they stop you for a broken tail light and claim the cash was going to be used for a drug deal.

 

Or some limits on domestic spying by Central State agencies. You know, basic civil liberties as defined by the Bill of Rights and the U.S. constitution.

 

Don't make me laugh – you know darned well that it doesn't matter who controls the Senate, Presidency or House of Representatives, nothing will change.

 

3. Will the predatory, parasitic policies of the Federal Reserve that virtually everyone from the Wall Street Journal to what little remains of the authentic Left

understands has greatly increased income and wealth inequality be reined-in? Please don't claim either party has any will or interest in limiting the Fed's rapacious financialization. There is absolutely no evidence to support such a claim – it is pure wishful thinking.

 

4. Will the steaming pile of profiteering, corruption, waste, fraud and ineptitude that is Sickcare in the U.S. be truly reformed so its costs drop by 50% to match what every other developed democracy spends per person on universal healthcare? It doesn't matter if ObamaCare is repealed or not; that monstrosity was simply another layer of bureaucratic waste on an already hopelessly dysfunctional system.

 

If you answer "yes," please run a body scan on yourself to detect the biochips that were implanted while you voted Demopublican.

 

5. Will the influence of Big Money be well and truly banned from politics? If you answer yes, please pick up your tin-foil hat at the door.

 

6. Will the incentives in the Status Quo be reset to punish rapacious financialization and gaming the system and reward productive investment and labor? Before you answer, check out who's buttering the Senators' bread. Hint: Wall Street does not qualify as productive unless we're talking about the production of life-draining parasites. Virtually none of the vast armies of skimmers and scammers, from those pursuing bogus disability claims to lobbyist leeches, will suffer any consequence.

 

Moral hazard is the Status Quo's Prime Directive.

 

7. Will anything be done to dismantle the Neofeudal Debt-Serfdom known as student loans? You are delusional if you think either party has any interest in limiting the predation of an academic Upper Caste that came to do good and stayed to do well.

 

8. Will any prudent assessment be made of unaffordable weapons systems like the F-35 Lightning – $1.5 trillion and counting for aircraft that will soon be matched by drones that cost a fraction of the F-35's $200 million-a-piece price tag? No way – parts of those insanely-costly jets are made in dozens of states, so the pork is well-distributed. Never mind the plane is a lemon, built to fight the wars of the past. It's jobs, Baby – that's all that counts. Never mind the $1.5 trillion – we can always borrow another couple trillion – the Fed promised us.

 

Do you really think the Senate controlled by either party will ask why the F-35's price tag dropped to $120 million from $200 million? That's easy – the revised estimate left out the engine and avionics. They'll be added back in after the Senate approves open-ended funding.

If none of these key dynamics will change, you got nothing. Please don't claim anything changes if one party or the other is in the majority. Anyone clinging to that fantasy is delusional.
 

If you doubt this, please take the above quiz again.

A Day In The Life

Awake and up at 6:15 on Friday morning, the recycle garbage truck's usual noise was conspicuously absent. I'm guessing that the 1½" of rain yesterday, put them behind schedule. (They arrived at 8am.) Another very cool morning at 38°F, but brightly sunny to start-off. After firing-up the furnace, I accidentally tripped the condo's alarm system by opening the front door, and quickly put in the code to squelch it. Need coffee. Some fresh OJ helped, as the coffee steeped and I fired-up the computer/TV. Checking the weather, news and email, I finally had coffee and felt better. I made Sunny-Side-Up Eggs & Toast, marvelled at the weather-dipwads predicting our weather based upon Siberia. LOL. I left for Dad's at 8:15am.

Here's the old cement sidewalk from the driveway, across the back porch of the house to the sunroom porch. Here's the sidewalk broken-up,

removed, re-excavated to 8" depth, and a sub-base of 4" gravel installed. That is then machine-compacted, leveled and hardened. Deliveries of extra paver block and stonedust arrive. Then, a 2" base of stonedust is laid over top of the sub-base and also compacted and leveled. With the ground and stone areas raised, a new step will replace the 85yr-old sunken concrete bottom step slab. With all underground prep work done, paver block can now be laid starting at eastern sunroom porch and worked west back to driveway. The walk has been slightly widened to 2'10" and lengthened from 75' to 84'. Widening the walk will reduce the number of cuts needing to be made to the pavers, making the job go faster. Before, on Wednesday and on Friday. Tentatively, the outer course will be a perpendicular "soldier bond", cemented in place, to help keep block from spreading over time, and retain the Pocono Mtn River Stone on both sides' gardens. My really ancient 2002 Kodak Easy-Share DX3900 Digital Camera was having a battery problem, so I shut it down until I could put it back in the charging dock at home.

I spent time with Dad, made Scrambled Eggs & Bacon for his breakfast, reviewed the work so far, talked to Alan about some minor changes and next week's work schedule, made copies of some recent SSI and Medicare paperwork I need for filing, and left for home by 11:30am. It's very important that the paver block gets laid down today before a heavy frost arrives, so that there's no frost in the open ground before they close it up for the Winter, even though there's a sub-base and base of varying gravel underneath, or it'll cause major problems when it thaws in Spring. I wanted to get out of Alan and Arthur's way and let them finish laying the paver block. It was extremely windy and as the clouds rolled thru, temps began dropping from the low-50s into the 40s. A portent that a "much-dreaded" Polar Vortex (used to be called Arctic Clipper) was on its way to make working outside less fun, as Winter closes-in. In many ways, I'm glad that I'm out of that seasonal horticultural and landscape contracting business. While listening to Rush's show, I made a Ham & Swiss on Rye Sandwich and some Chicken Noodle Soup, read thru the day's news online, and laid down on the LR couch for a 2hr snooze. By

5:15pm, it was already dark and I closed down the open windows, turned-on the heat to take the chill off the place and checked the computer's MalwareBytes (Free) Threat Scan; it was finished, clean and I restarted the machine. Temps had dropped to 40°F, and it would be a cold night ahead. It'll soon be time to get the electric blanket out. I listened to the usual evening Mark Levin Show, to get his perspective on the election fallout, watched a new episode of NatGeoTV's Life Below Zero: "The Awakening" (42:40), then watched a few more of the stack of recommended videos which friends had sent, and finally closed down around 11pm.

Up at 5am on Saturday, and at a cold 26°F outside, I first grabbed my Turkish Bathrobe, fired-up the condo furnace to 76°, and noticed the widespread frost outside. It was good that the sidewalk's paver block got mostly finished yesterday. I had some Del Monte® Mixed Cherry Fruit, coffee, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon & Toast, checked email and scanned the weather and news sites. After bundling-up, I drove over to the bank, cleaners and to Dad's to visit. He has a dental surgeon's app't coming on Monday afternoon – selected details afterward if things go well – and I'm going to be helping him out with almost everything for weeks, providing there are no medical complications. I left at 11:30 and drove east to Hellam, to get some take-out subs/fries for lunch, at the legendary Touch of Italy. After lunch, I watched part of the Penn State v Indiana game (PSU won, 13-7), opened the condo's windows, and laid down on the LR

couch for a nap, tired from the high carbs in the sub and fry. Temps had dropped into he low-40s, very quickly. The cold air woke me at 4:45pm, and it was getting darker, so I closed down the place, checked my ancient 2006 Nokia 6060 "Clamshell" cellphone, for messages, fired-up the furnace and grabbed a Schwepe's Ginger Ale. Damn, that's a good soft drink. Where was that stuff all these years? I lit the gas fire and watched some YT videos. They were: • SHTF - How Will It Start? (9:05)SHTF: Pay Attention, This Is Probably How It Plays Out, Pt1.SHTF: Pay Attention, This Is Probably How It Plays Out, Pt2.SHTF - Stages of SHTF (19:26)SHTF - Levels Of SHTF (11:41)SHTF - In An Instant (14:42)SHTF - Lies/Truth (14:52). By 11:15pm, I'd had enough, and I needed to get 6 large bags of special groceries over to Dad, so after the dental operation, he'd be able to eat a reduced, minimum-chewing diet until things heal. I closed down, armed the place and headed upstairs.

I slept-in until 8:30am on Sunday, another sunny, cold, 39°F start to the day. Heat on, I made the usual OJ and coffee, had an English Muffin w/ Butter, went thru the email, and scanned the weather and news. A touch of "bombogenesis", aka Winter, is coming quickly this week, especially in the Northern Plains. I drove the bags of groceries over to Dad's at 9:15, visited for a while, and got an unexpected call from Rite Aid in Stewartstown. 5 Rxs were ready 7 days early, and needed to be picked-up ASAP, so I headed to I-83 South and made the 40-mile round trip. Home by 12noon, I unpacked from a couple of other stops I'd made along the way, readied the laundry loads, cleaned the bathrooms, and had another sub/fries from yesterday's take-out place. By 7pm, I had

the fresh bed linens installed, laundry folded and stowed away, and temps had dropped from 47° to 31° in 2hrs. By 8pm, I was listening to the evening's streaming Gun Talk Radio Network Show, while I followed the thread on this site, and with the "Aftershow", until 12-midnight. Get the 3hr Podcast here, in 3 x 1-hr parts. Click "POD", click dialog box choice "open", to play it. By 11:45pm, I was tired, closed down, armed the condo, and called it a day.

Monday morning was another cold, 29°F, but thankfully, nowhere as brutal weather as the Upper Midwest and Plains were getting. With OJ and coffee, I made Soft-Boiled Eggs w/ Toast in a bowl, checked the usual suspects: email, news and weather. I layered-up and took a Fall Lined Barn Coat, along, and left for Dad's to talk with Alan and Arthur about the porch's sinking, cracked bottom step situation. I wasn't disappointed; they were doing a first class job on everything else, so the new porch step worked just fine. I left at 10:45am, made 2 stops, and headed home to wait for a USPS Certified Letter from my security alarm company of 24 years, notifying me of a FCC-mandated, 3G --> 4G upgrade ($199.95) to the alarm keypad. While waiting, I streamed Rush's Show, made a USDA Prime 10oz Filet Mignon and Roasted, Sea-Salted & Buttered Brussel Sprouts, with a Ginger Ale. Arthur called and said they started laying porch step block, so I drove back over to see the materials and good result. Perfect; I was satisfied. Back home again, it was getting darker and colder. I listened to the

morning's missed Chris Plante Show WMAL (DC) Podcast, the Mark Levin Show until 9, and watched the rest of the lopsided, marginal Monday Night Football game. By 11:30pm, I was ready for sleep.

After a good night's sleep, I woke on Tuesday, at 7am, to a semi-hilarious dream – damn, I can't remember it – but I sort of remember it as not being a SHTF scenario or about murderous clowns, so it wasn't all bad. No signs of the lawnmower/ground scare guys, who usually make early Tuesday morning noise. After OJ, coffee, I had some Honey Smacks and blueberries, and checked email, the weather and news. I left for Dad's to get Arthur's help in moving my old Tunturi Exercycle to Becky's for her knee rehab. I also needed to stop at the bank, the realtor's offices, Weis Market for a few things for Dad, and get back home to work on paperwork. Back by 1:30, I made a Large Italian Sub w/ Chips, breezed thru the paperwork, got ready for mailing what needed to go out tomorrow morning, and watched some recent YT videos: NatGeoTV's Southern Justice: "Appalachian Lock-Up" (41:28), and NatGeoTV's Southern Justice: "Kentucky Wild" (41:29) until 11pm, and closed down for the night.

Wednesday morning was surprisingly mild, considering what the central and northern regions of the country are experiencing. 44°F, very foggy and the forecast stormfront pushing east had dissipated over the Appalachians before reaching us. The cold's on its way, but the rain isn't. I still fired-up the furnace for a short while, had some Del Monte® Mandarin Oranges, made coffee, checked email, the weather and news, and looked for the usual MS-Patch

downloads: there were 17 "critical downloads" waiting, so I started the installation. There was a message on my cell about tomorrow's dr app't, but otherwise, nothing important. I could relax and write-out some checks for upcoming bills, while listening to at least part of the Chris Plante Show (WMAL-DC), on local WSBA910am, since the regular 9-12 host was still off. Arthur arrived from finishing-up Dad's sidewalk details, and began clean-up of my condo's front gardens. I had some checks to get mailed, errands to run and places to go, so I left at 10am. By 11am, temps hit a balmy 58°, yet clouds were moving-in from the west and by 12noon, temps were dropping. Errands done, I was home by 1:30pm, caught the last half of Rush, listened to the Chris Plante Show Podcast (WMAL-DC), on local WSBA910am, again. I grilled a Bone-In Broiled Allen Bros 16oz Filet Mignons, with Tomato Bisque Soup. Dad's Christmas gifts arrived via UPS, and we've decided to give them to him at Thanksgiving Dinner, in 2 weeks. Cold weather is coming and he'll enjoy the new Orvis sweater and luxurious Land's End sweat pants. I swept out the garage, used a leaf blower to get all the accumulated dust, leaves and debris out for the coming Winter. By 4:45pm, it was getting darker and colder and temps had dropped to 40°, so I closed down the open windows, and fired-up the furnace. The Mark Levin Show was streaming from 6-9, and the John Batchelor Show, until 11:30pm. That was enough for me; I closed down, armed the condo and went to sleep. I have a 10:30am Dr's app't, down in Shrewsbury, and a trip to Dad's afterward, to get his battery-dead cellphone working.

Up at 5am, I bumped-on the furnace to take the chill off, made fresh OJ and coffee, had some rye toast, checked the usual email, news and weather. At just 29°F, we're getting an early taste of Winter, and I don't mind at all. Some people here are still walking around in t-shirts, shorts and sandals; for Winter, they'll just put on some socks. I left for Shrewsbury, at 9:45. The northbound lanes of I-83 were backed-up for miles and I made a mental note of not going back north on that route. I could see the storm clouds moving this way from the southwest; looked like snow. The dr's

app't went swimmingly, and on the way home, going north up the interstate, I got off at an early exit before the traffic jams, and drove thru York to Dad's. After visiting and helping him with a couple small projects, I left at 11:30 for home, and he left for Weis Market in West York, to do some food shopping. The western sky was turning blue-black and there was definitely a storm moving into the area. I made 8oz Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cakes with Lentil & Vegetable Soup, and readied some to take over to Dad, tomorrow. I heard the sleet coming down on the condo's 4 skylights; it soon turned to light snow. I bundled-up, took out the garbage for tomorrow morning pick-up, and went out for an hour's walk in the now-heavier falling snow. I get giddy in the season's first snowfall; go figure. Back in by 2:30pm, I felt envigorated, downloaded the morning's missed Chris Plante Show WMAL (DC) Podcast and listened until 5:30, while writing-out some bills that needed to get into tomorrow's mail. By 6pm, the Mark Levin Show was streaming until 9pm, and the John Batchelor Show, until 10:30pm. I had a pile of links and videos sent from friends in emailm, which I started reading and previewing. By 12:30am, I'd had enough and would finish the rest of the reading and previewing, and answering the emails from whence they came. Ben's especially.

Tomorrow, Friday, starts a new week here in the "Journal" and although I have a attorney and a realtor meeting, I don't have much lined-up around the condo, except to open-up the Kenmorev 16 cu. ft. Chest Freezer in the garage, empty it, and re-organize. I also need to get my propane tank filled, for my Char-Broil® Patio Grille. I grill all Winter long, just outside my garage, and that tank's lasted almost 2 years. Dad has 2 or 3 dr's app'ts next week, and I imagine that I'll be called upon to drive him to at least the dental surgery, when it's scheduled, though the docs are leaning to the first two weeks in December, after the Thanksgiving Day Holiday.

Ebola Is Here; America Is Now Third World.

Congrats, America: We're officially a TURD WORLD COUNTRY!

And if the corrupt "health officials" have their way, we'll never know the true extent of it.

Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia are going through the worst Ebola outbreak in history and health officials believe that it has killed more than 700 people there. Now, for the first time, Ebola has "officially" entered the United Sates via two health aid workers, that contracted the disease while working in Africa, where the Ebola outbreak continues.

Ebola virus disease (EVD), originally known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, and often times (70-90%) fatal disease in humans. Case fatality can be up to 90 percent – in other words, 90 out of every 100 people who catch Ebola die. EVD outbreaks typically occur in remote villages in Central and West Africa and are transmitted via wild animals (such as fruit bats) to humans.

The first patient landed in the United States on Saturday, August 2, 2014. Dr. Kent Brantly was then flown from Africa to the United States and then transported via ambulance to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. The second person, Nancy Whitebol, will return to the U.S. in the coming days. Many people are questioning the decision to bring the two American aid workers to the United States to be treated. According to the New York Times, Dr. Bruce S. Ribner, an infectious disease specialist at Emory and who will be caring for these patients, said, "The reason we are bringing these

patients back to our facility is because we feel they deserve to have the highest level of care offered for their treatment." Unfortunately, however, the only treatment is to provide supportive care to keep the patient stable – does bringing these Ebola sufferers home to the U.S. put everyone else at risk? Yes, it does.

Gatwick Airport in the UK is now infected by the subhuman filth from Africa, but then again, the UK has been admitting millions of those tribal creatures from the Middle East and Africa, for many years. As has much of Europe. As the UK/Europe goes, so goes America.

And after 3-4 days, they're "still testing" an unknown POS at NYC's Mount Sinai Hospital to see if s/he has Ebola? Bullshit; they knew it immediately and aren't saying for fear of emptying-out the city.

Coincidentally, there's an "African Leaders Summit" in DC, this week. Take a look at the murderous, turd-world subhuman filth defiling our country and The White House Hut/Crib. How appropriate.

One super-critical thing the media leaves out, is that Ebola transmission by aerosols is confirmed: virus can survive for days outside infected hosts, and can spread very easily. Nice, huh?

Plus, Ebola isn't the only disease the subhuman African filth will be bringing to America. There's also Chikungunya. Dengue. Norovirus. Hantavirus. Swine flu. Varicella. Variola. Read this. Go ahead; I'll wait.

And the mindless, liberal, turd-sucking sycophants at CNN praise the idea of bringing-in such a deadly and contagious disease. Absolute mind-boggling stupidity.

What's next? A weaponized Ebola "dirty bomb"? get ready for anything to happen in America's population centers, thru these porous borders. Will it be the Ebola or Ecola/Lassa strain of this fast-moving, engineered bioweapon? Who knows? But the WHO is looking out for everyone.

The world is coming apart. Watch the 2 videos below and understand why you need to know the truth being kept from you and all Americans.

Here's what might happen, if it does.

Watch this 17-min compilation video, if you do nothing else!

Was it an "Ebola attack" or an "Ebola outbreak", which slipped out at the US State Department Press Briefing? Listen and decide for yourself.

A coincidence that the CDC raised this to a Level 1 Alert? I think not.

Read "The Hot Zone", about the Ebola Virus, and prepare to get scared.

Ebola marches on to yet another African country. Mark my words: it's going worldwide with over 250 mutations on the original virus. There'll be no stopping this once it gets loose in Europe or America.

Conundrum.

The very definition of the word conundrum is "something that is puzzling or confusing". Here are six conundrums today, in the US:

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

Think about it. That pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st century. Kind of makes you wonder who is doing the math.

These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:

1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering...

2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't. Think about it. And last but not least...

3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to all illegal aliens?

Am I the only one missing something?

Enemies Of The State: YOU & ME!

If you don't think that the US Government is intentionally targeting, investigating and prosecuting-persecuting Conservative Americans, you're living in a dream world of warm sponge baths and fresh diapers. America is under attack from The Enemy Within©.

This intentional use of Federal Agencies – IRS, DoINJ, EPA, BLM, Dept Ag, Dept Int, OSHA etc – by The White House, demokkkRAT-nazi party, criminal unions and other corrupt, criminal, corrupt NGO entities, should make the hair on your neck stand-up.

Liberals have been filling government agencies, at all levels, with self-interested, job perpetuation, Marxist-socialist-leftist experts for many decades. Conservatives are a threat to them, their progressive commie agenda and way of life. If we truly had a government based on a Constitution and implemented by elected representatives, this kind of stuff wouldn't happen. But we don't, and it does.

Stupid, ignorant, racist, ghetto-rat, thug filth/trash, like US Rep Elijah Cummings (SCUM-MD) who is so corrupt, criminal and hate-filled toward America, Conservative Americans of all stripes, and the Tea Party, that he should be imprisoned for the rest of his lying, pathetic, miserable life, for treason. And US Sen Joe McCarthy, was more of an American than you'll ever be, racist asshole!

One of the Articles of Impeachment drawn up against Richard Nixon in July of 1974, was merely "threatening" to use the Internal Revenue Service to selectively audit political opponents. 0bummer-boy has now fully-weaponized the IRS against all of his political opponents, ordering multiple covert campaigns of intimidation, threats, and persecution of Tea Party and Conservative organizations, and those daring to criticize 0bummer-boy's Marxist, racist, socialist agenda.

Amazingly, Fox News did a series of special reports on the corrupt, criminal US Govt's use of agencies to harass, threaten, confiscate property without cause, audit, shut-down without cause, fine and threaten with prison and to harm and/or kill American businesses and citizens. Get some popcorn and watch these six YT videos of Fox News' Reports:

      • Fox News Reporting Enemies Of The State: The Sagebrush Rebellion, Part 1 (10:44),

      • Fox News Reporting Enemies Of The State: The Sagebrush Rebellion, Part 2 (6:47),

      • Fox News Reporting Enemies Of The State: Gibson Guitar (5:43),

      • Fox News Reporting Enemies Of The State: IRS Targeting, Part 1 (5:56),

      • Fox News Reporting Enemies Of The State: IRS Targeting, Part 2 (5:34),

      • Fox News Reporting Enemies Of The State: Energy Independent (6:12).

Make no mistake about it: The IRS Is A Criminal Organization. Here's the full movie, "CROSSHAIRS: The Internal Revenue Scandal" (54:59).

The corrupt, criminal FedGov is continuing to seize our rightfully-owned lands.

And, a two-decades-old battle between a Nevada rancher and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has resulted in officials armed with machine guns surrounding the ranch and forcibly removing the owner's cattle. This is NOT going to end well, as the Waco slaughter and Ruby Ridge murders didn't.

You Own It, demokkkRATs!

Congratulations to the asswipe demokkkRATs, irrelevant "Free Shit!" minorities and stupid young people on the Truly-Shitty Economy you've created and inherited. You now own it 100%, and you can't blame Bush, anymore. Bathhouse Barry ∅bummer did it all by himself. You voted for it, dumbassed idiots.

In a way, I am relieved that another good man will not be blamed when it becomes impossible to clean-up this mess that YOU voted for. Yes, moronic ∅bummer-asshole idiots: YOU!

Your TSHTF Survival

Are you truly ready for when, not if, TSHTF (The Shit Hits The Fan). And a lot of my "Journal" Readers have emailed and called me to discuss what preparations they should take for that "coming awful event". Believe me, "it" IS coming. Based upon what's happening around the world and here in the US, I have a terrible, terrible *gut feeling* that TSWHTF (The Shit Will Hit The Fan), sometime in 2014. Don't ask why; I just do.

First, Israel is preparing for war, after being attacked for years on many fronts, and not fighting back as she should have. This war will truly have "Biblical implications" around the world. The Middle East is rapidly-collapsing under the subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic riots (muslim Brotherhood) and rule ("arab Spring"), with world crude oil prices projected to hit $200+/bbl, or even higher into the $300-$400 range,

(Net picture)

Europe is on the verge of insolvency and collapse, no thanks in great part to Germany, teetering-and-tottering Asia and South America will quickly-follow, then comes the downfall of Canada, and The USA won't be far behind, in late 2012 and into 2013. Watch this video; be sure you're sitting-down, and don't have any food or liquid in your mouth upon which to choke.

Just Google "survival" and see what comes-up. Damned-near everything you ever wanted to know how to prepare for this for-sure-coming "hellish holocaust", some of it in easy-to-download *.PDF format. Tens-of-thousands of websites are devoted to the topic of "survival". Do the same with "You Tube", and watch the thousands of videos. This is *NOT The Phony Y2K Crappola*; this is for real. I said numerous times that Y2K was a waste of time and money to prepare for, and that came true. I'm reading that "survival stores" are reporting a huge upswing in sales and preparations, and for good reason.

I'm also one of the very, very few who "predicted a 9-11 type event", 2 years and 8 months before it happened. Read down that "Journal" entry to the "Scary Stuff" section, and it was done by the subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic shit/filth/trash, NOT the US Gov't as some morons and idiots (Alex Jones & Co), have and still It's interesting you mention when an old paradigm dies and a new one takes its place. There are people who are still connected to the old one and can't conceive of life without that old paradigm. I think you saw that in the Great Depression. A lot of people never recovered from it because once that hit it was the end of their lives. claim. Need I say more about those certifiable and murderous, subhuman muslim/islamist wackos who are determined to kill all of us Proud Infidels?

Am I an "conspiracy alarmist" or one of those "crazed survivalists", sequestered in a Montana, Idaho, Utah or Wyoming compound or bunker? Not hardly; I'm simply in mid-State Pennsylvania, an Eagle Scout, Class of 1963, Order Of The Arrow/ Vigil Honor, and our BSA Motto was then, and still is now, "Be Prepared". Need I say any more?

Forget all of the "buy gold and silver" bullshit commercials; buy "brass and lead" for your guns. They're a far, far superior investment, IMO. Ammo is truly a "fungible" item; gold & silver aren't at all. They may be "intrinsic", but they're utterly-useless in a collapsing/collapsed society or world. Do the requisite research, as I've done. 'Nuff said on that subject.

BTW, how are you stocked-up for incandescent light bulbs? Within 4 weeks, manufacturing and using 100w incandescent will become "a crime", thanks to stupid-assed, liberal moron chimp, shit-for-brains, George W Bush & Co, in 2007. You'll be forced, under penalty-of-law, to use the very expensive,

dangerous and short-lived CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs). Better stock-up NOW on 60w, 75w and 100w incandescents, where and when you can find them, before they become unavailable and illegal!

This government's ***CRIMINALLY NUTS***, in trying to regulate our use of anything and everything! It's fascism, socialism, Leninism and communism, dammit, and it won't stand! Where is that in The US Constitution? The US Government isn't empowered to force us to do or buy anything, and has overstepped its legal authority in The ENUMERATED Commerce Clause. The Commerce Clause is quite specifically an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The Contemporary Commerce Clause debate, When "decided by the SCOTUS in the Summer of 2012", will cause CWIII, if upheld. Stockpile NOW, because TSHTF before/during/after the November General Election!

Gold is NOT the way to go; lead and brass (aka ammo) ARE. Mark my words!

As a result they're going to go through the absolute most disgusting inhumanity that I think any American has ever seen as they go through this anger phase – and it's going to result in riots, and starvation and bloodshed. It has to happen. You don't have people's life savings disappear and people become desperate, and not have that happen. coming "Race War" plan.

We are *at war with Iran*; no doubt about it. Get used to it. And shit-for-brains, racist, commie, lowlife scumbag Barry "F•ck America!" Obama (TRAITOR-IL) has politely "asked" for our formerly Top Secret RQ-170 Sentinel Drone "to be returned". What a dumbf•ck Obama is! He should be charged, tried and imprisoned for *treason*, IMO.

I've been saying, for the past 2-3 years, that no one should buy any gold or silver; it's worthless crap if TSHTF (The Shit Hits The Fan). Instead, buy guns and ammo; they're a far, far better investment, IMO. Any questions?

Uh-oh, it's beginning to happen in Europe. Better get ready for it to come over here, soon, as The Fed f•cks America, once again. Time to abolish The Fed and its corrupt, criminal influence on America's economy!

With the FBI already considering many US Citizens as "sovereign citizen extremists", are you ready for "Rex 84" & The FEMA Camps? A new bill has been introduced in the US House of Representatives called the National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645. This bill if passed into law will direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish

State and local resistance to the detention provisions contained in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) continues to grow, rapidly-emerging as a nationwide movement against the illegal and unconstitutional Federal Jack-Booted-Thugs' powers.

America is already being turned into a giant prison camp, and 90% of Americans either go along with it or don't see it happening. I do.

When prepping, always plan your survival purchases first on paper; buy them afterward.

Obama: "Entrepreneurs Don't Build Businesses"

"Last week, President Barack Obama delivered some telling remarks to a fire station full of people in Roanoke, Virginia. I'll save you the trouble of reading the (long and uninspired) speech and provide you with the most interesting part:

     "If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." – President Barack Obama, July 13th, 2012.

It would be easy to respond with something along the lines of, "Somebody else made that happen? Who? Who magically imagined the product or service, started the business, built it up, and created the jobs? Who was it? The tooth fairy?" And to some extent, President Obama's statement is so ridiculous as to merit that sort of quick, flippant response.

(Here's the video of that loony remark.)

However, he's not entirely wrong. This reminds me of an argument that Massachusetts Senate Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren would probably make. If he's talking about a mid-sized or large business, where an entrepreneur has hired additional employees, then at that point the business's success isn't purely that of its founder.

Employees add value to a business through work and ideas. That's why you hire employees, after all. Steve Jobs didn't invent every last detail of the phones, computers, and tablets to come out of Apple over the last decade. There were engineers working on those products who developed them. So, employees help entrepreneurs to build their business. "Somebody else" did indeed play a part in making that happen.

But what makes the president's remarks so inane is the totality of what he's saying. He's not saying that entrepreneurs and employees work together to build a business. It's not a collaborative effort. It's all thanks to the employees. Usually, I can understand the way the president's mind works on most issues by examining it through a pragmatic, liberal, or progressive framework. This one baffles me.

As I explained, I can see that he has some of a point, but he's still just obviously wrong on the broader point. Sure, the employees help to build the business, but the business itself wouldn't exist without the entrepreneur. So, to say to entrepreneurs and to business owners, "...you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen," is just wrong. It's silly. They did build that by setting the foundation for the business.

Entrepreneurs are almost always the hardest workers in their business. They work a simply insane number of hours to get their idea off the ground. If they succeed (and they face a tremendous risk if they don't), then they'll start to grow and to hire employees to help. Honestly, if I were an entrepreneur and I read those remarks by the president, I would be furious. It's a tremendous insult to the true job-creators in America, entrepreneurs.

In the context of a long, somewhat rambling campaign speech that touched on every issue under the sun, it may seem as though I'm over-exaggerating the importance of a minor thing he said. But President Obama isn't a stupid man, or even one who makes off-the-cuff remarks he doesn't really mean. He's a very smart man, and he meant what he said.

When the most important issues for most Americans are economic growth and job creation, I believe it's essential to know exactly where both candidates stand on the importance of entrepreneurs. Yesterday, we learned that President Obama believes that entrepreneurs don't build businesses. Ultimately, they're irrelevant. Take that for what you will." © Principles and Policy, July 14, 2012

Things Which Make Your Head Explode

We no more than get rid of a corrupt, racist, sambo, criminal, radical, mulatto, indicted ghetto-rat boy – Eric Holder (SPIT!) – than a new one with skirts and the same racist, unqualified, EEOC, Affirmative Action Racism, mulatto sambette who irons her hair with Pomade® 3x a day, to replace him at USAG. Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, NY, was nominated as Holder's replacement. We should have picked our own cotton back in the 1500s/1600s/1700s, dammit. Then we wouldn't have these subhuman, ghetto rat filth/garbage/trash/crap welfare queens and massive sambo crime problem. Nor would we have had to spend $21 TRILLION since 1964, on trying to convert the pavement apes and monkeys from tribal savages to civilized humans. American Blacks have made the transition an assimilation; street/ghetto-niggas have not and never will.

Liberal Media BS

The most insidious power of the corrupt, criminal liberal media, is the power to ignore the truth.

Here, have some fun. Something stinks within America's newsrooms. It's the stench of liberal bias permeating the so-called mainstream media. From lies and deceit to distortions and character assassinations, the liberal media dish out leftist BS to drive their radical agenda.

Chris Plante, host of The Chris Plante Show on WMAL (DC) from 9-12, weekdays, said, "The most insidious power the media has, if the power to ignore." Think about what that really means and you can readily see what an evil force the corrupt, criminal, liberal-demokkkRAT-controlled, butt-kissing, fawning circlefest media assholes, are.

Think you can detect it? Take this test and find out just how much BS the liberal media are dishing out. Wear your hip-waders; the bullshit is deep!

Inside The Army's Spectacular, Hidden Treasure Room.

Remember that ending scene out of Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant is boxed up and wheeled through an endless government warehouse?

Did you know that that place actually exists?

I was hugely-pleased, a little stunned at the secrecy, but half-expecting a juicy trove of treasures.

It is called the Center of Military History. It is located 30 minutes outside Washington, D.C., at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The building itself is very nondescript.

But behind a series of highly alarmed doors and long, cement, camera-laden hallways. It is the highly sophisticated, climate-controlled treasure room where the army keeps its most precious artifacts.

The facility was built for $24 million in 2010. The cavernous warehouse is typically shrouded in total darkness. Motion lights illuminate only the areas in which someone is walking.

If I could get tickets, I'd fork over my first-born child. Oh wait; I don't have one. Heh. I'd go there in a heartbeat.

Some People Just Need Killing

It's not my intention to be the judge here — that's God's "job" — but rather to "hasten the meeting" so that He can send the following subhuman filth to the "Fires of Hell", "River or Lake of Sulphur", or whatever He deems appropriate. I'd gladly/happily volunteer, at no cost to any of my Hard-Working, Fellow US Taxpayers, to gladly/gleefully/happily headshoot these murderous, lowlife dirtbags of all stripes — their skin-color doesn't matter one whit to me, at all — and rid American Society's innocents — especially our too-vulnerable, precious children and the frail, defenseless elderly — of the subhuman criminals who prey upon them, once-and-for-ever. And yes, I'd rather see one innocent man convicted and executed, than 10 murderers, robbers, child rapists-murderers freed, to rob, rape and murder again. Hey, call me an "Old Fashioned Conservative"! Too harsh? Nah. Someone needs to take out the trash! I volunteer.

Society's innocents — our precious, defenseless children and the frail, defenseless elderly — must be protected from predators, murderers, rapists, robbers and other subhuman filth, at all times and at any cost, IMO.

The 6th Commandment actually says: "Thou Shalt Not Murder". It does NOT say, "Thou Shalt Not Kill." I personally don't consider any summary-execution — except by subhuman, murderous muslim/islamic pigshit — as murder, in any way, shape or form. It's "Due-Justice-For-Crimes-On-This-Earth", IMO.

The Death Penalty is The Foundation of Government.

Yes, I agree with the premise of this article, that "the death penalty is a Noahic Covenant with God, in a post-flood world", and America should apply it every-damned-day, to those deserving death for their crimes against society and its innocents.

"100 years from now, I want the filthy, stinking subhuman islamic/muslim filth's childrens' childrens' childrens' children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky. I want them to hide in wet, dark caves and hellish-holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting-out death and destruction. I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience. I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea – the powerful Americans – destroyed their forefathers' wickedness."
