Posted by phidipides at February 4, 2009 05:45 PMvery confusing. what goes up, must come down.
Posted by T2 at February 4, 2009 07:14 PMAfter what has transpired over the last six months, it’s time for a reality check. We are the punch-drunk fighter who Don King talks into getting into the ring one more time for the big payday yet our eyes are so swollen we can’t read the fine print that appears after the real ink has dried. We’re the alcoholic who can handle it this time around. See I’ve gone a month…. I’ll celebrate with just one drink……..
We’re the overweight person who drops 10 pounds and celebrates with a case of Jennie Craig brownies—low fat of course.
We are the guy who just got out of prison and, having learned more tricks of the trade while there, tries to rob a bank and gets caught. So much for the expert advice from the guys who have also gotten caught. Oh well, more time to plan the perfect heist.
The experts are all saying that now is the time to invest in the market with values so low—their income depends on you listening to them so that they can make a buck so, what’s not to trust?
I’m looking forward to seeing how all of these civilian and military “volunteer” plans are to be inserted into the rectum of mass unemployment. If you can bend over and even come close to touching your toes you’re hired–well, kinda’ hired–you OWE it to the fatherland..Oops, I mean your country to serve in indentured servitude.
The world is playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded Uzi and it’s just a matter of time before there is a round with your name on it. That’s where the smart money is placing their bets, how can they lose?
They can lose because there is no such thing as smart money. No sure thing when you screw with people that much and they wake up or subliminally hear the floorboards creaking in the middle of the night.
Those who lurk in the shadows and pull the strings will wake up one morning and find they are Gulliver, and the Lilliputians are ticked off….
Really ticked off……..lot’s of them………
I love that. Anyone know where I can get it in text?
Posted by James E. Powell at February 4, 2009 08:55 PMThis is totally great. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Turkana.
Posted by Mary at February 5, 2009 12:07 AMWow! That kind of thing is not easy to write. My hats off to the author.
Posted by Craig at February 5, 2009 01:00 AMWhile I changed my screen name, this was just a bit of a venom release after being screwed by Bernie Madoff and the system. As for the opening thread above today 2/5 on Keynes, keep in mind that John M never figured into his economic model that other countries around the world would stop purchasing our debt. Now that this has happened the financial death spiral continues. As Keynes himself said, " in the end, we're all dead anyway".
Obama and his shadow controllers are moving in the wrong direction as the answer to our economic woes come not from Keynes but from Von Mises and the Austrian School of Economics. While the masses decry the value of nationalization, it is as per our Constitution the remedy. The experiment known as the Federal Reserve is a failure and there is only one answer. Return to a US Treasury with dollars backed by real assets such as gold and silver. After all, it's the only real money man has known for five thousand years, not little pieces of paper I.O.U.s backed by nothing other than hot air.
What is the point of this? Does simply stating the opposite of something make it true? This smacks of the worst type of mindless new age babble. It would be nice if incantations could cure the problems, but they don't.
Posted by Gene at February 5, 2009 10:48 AMMindless babble? Incantations? The answer is right in front of your face. This isn't New Age crap but the answer which bankers and the Fed would rather you not consider. Do yourself a favor and pick up a history book. Read the writings of Jefferson and Lincoln when it comes to control of a countries purse. Considering the wonderful job bankers have done to date, I rest my case.
Posted by Jon at February 5, 2009 11:33 AMSo if we all just recite together "The last 8 years (or 200, or 600 years) didn't happen and the world hasn't gone to hell in a hand basket" it will be so? What answer, exactly, is in front of my face? Pick up a history book? What in the world does any of this have to do with the video? It would be great if people were less greedy, less murderous, more willing to DO something to make positive changes, but they aren't. Do yourself a favor and read a newspaper. Based on the HISTORY of the world thus far I rest MY case!
Posted by Gene at February 5, 2009 03:13 PMI guess you answered your own question. Your generation IS lost. If you don't learn from history your doomed to repeat it. There was no credible reason for the creation of a central bank other than to line the pockets of those who only wanted to control the masses through fiat and the creation of the I.R.S. while building financial empires that now stand on the brink of collapse.
If you can totally discount what past leaders such as Jefferson and Lincoln had to say on the subject, if you can discount the great regret that Wilson had in allowing this abomination known as the Federal Reserve to be created, then I again say, your generation is truly lost.
So it's MY generation? How do you know what generation I am from? What are YOU doing to make things all better? I don't disagree with anything you say in your posts regarding the central bank, the IRS or the writings of Jefferson or Lincoln. I just wonder what Turkana was thinking when posting that video. It's the sentimental equivalent of a Hallmark card and really has no place in an otherwise thoughtful and well presented blog like this one.
