Tuesday Stuff

The big black guy that worked for me got hisself fired yesterday, finally. He missed more work than my whole crew put together in a year. He was a contractor so the contract firm called him and said his contract was terminated. He called me at home to ask why. He couldn't figure it out!
A year of training, coaching and always trying to make him understand that 99% of the job is just coming to work. All for naught. So I'm going to have to hire and train a new guy.

Today Wretchard said:

"Everyone just carries on like everything was normal while things fall apart around them. 

But unlike the Caine there is no way people can relieve themselves of a whole system of dysfunctional thinking. The fruitcakes are just too numerous and ubiquitous to get rid of. Maybe the only thing left is to quietly don the life jacket and hope for the best when the ship starts to go down. Who knows, maybe the inrushing waters will find the quart of strawberries he’s been looking for. They’ll get their cap and trade yet, even when no one can remember why."

I've felt that way  for a long time now. The world, the country, the state, the city, the economy, companies that I used to work for and the company I work for now. Everything is broken but nobody acts like they care. Everyone just goes through the motions all day, goes home then come back for more of the same. Extend and pretend.

It didn't used to be this way at work. People were accountable to get things fixed. Now I don't even know who is responsible for anything at work. And no one even cares. It's not just where I work, it seems to go on damn near everywhere. I've talked to dozens of people recently who work in many different companies who describe the same thing.

It's as if the whole world has just given up, put on the life jacket and hope for the best when it all fails. As if some hysteria has overtaken the world. Are we all just exhausted from terrorism, war, the economy, politics and the contant stream of bad news provided by the MSM?

I'm not shocked by Wikileaks revelations. It's just human behavior, all the deceit, arrogance and suspicion that have always been man's nature. It's just that now we have a means to collect and disseminate vast quantities of information on a global scale that never previously existed. I suppose that it's better that we know the truth than guess about the lies.

The democrats paid off their black and indian constituencies with $4.6B freshly printed monopoly dollars today. It'll all be spent on dope and booze in a couple of weeks. The Los Zetas and distilleries will make out like bandits.

Meanwhile two million unemployed are going over the cliff next week when the last unemployment checks arrive. I don't know what they're going to do. Move in with relatives, live in the street, go on welfare, go to rescue missions. We're about to see what a depression looks like in modern america.

I still feed the birds that come to my two feeders out back. One for the sparrows and one for the cardinals and nuthatches. Millet, milo, safflower and sunflowerfor the sparrows and black-oil sunflower for the cardinals and nuthatches. I keep the birdbath full and flowing for my little backyard friends all winter long.

God, the birds and I have a pact. He sends the birds and I feed them faithfully throughout the winter. We've had at least seven cardinals every year for 33 years that add color to our winters. The birds wait for me every evening, to get home and feed them their supper, chirping excitedly when I come outside. It always cheers me up no matter what happens in the world. Thank you God.

Iranian Ballistic Missiles

Oh noes. Europe and Moscow are both within range of Iranian ballistic missiles according to US intelligence reports leaked by Wikileaks. It couldn't happen to more deserving people. The Eurps and Russians better get busy building a missile defense system before the Iranian nut cases develop small nuclear warheads that fit those Nork BM-25s.

The Russians have been giving aid and comfort to Iran for decades. The Eurps have defended Iranian interests for nearly as long. The US tried to warn them but they wouldn't listen. So the US should just cut them loose to fend for themselves. The US can barely afford to defend itself let alone Europe and Russia. What has either done for us lately?

Perhaps manly Leonardi DiCaprio can defend Russia and Europe from Iranian ballistic missiles!

Aww...Just Flirty Friends


What's with all this teh ghey talk? Who's pitching and who's catching here? Bar Raphael better get an HIV test. I don't know why Leonardo is fishing for Viking warlords when he could be doing Bar. Strange.

Shop like there's no tomorrow, because there isn't a tomorrow

The global financial crisis continues to swirl around the world. First in the US, then China now the EU. Round and round it goes. Action, reaction. Then the cycle starts anew. The more our economic experts do the less confidence we have in their actions, or the unlying stories they weave.

In the US, Obama travelled to Kokomo, Indiana to tout the success of his auto manufacturer bailouts. Some success! About 2000 jobs lost at Delphi alone, unemployment still at 13%, nine firefighters back to work and new sidewalks downtown. This is typical of the "good economic news" in this depression. Lies and distortion is all the leadership has to show for their efforts.

Meanwhile in the West, shoppers are trampling each other to death to buy discounted gifts to celebrate Lord Jesus' birth. Everyone has to get that special something for that special someone before the global economy goes off the cliff into the abyss. Black Friday sales are estimated to have improved a whopping 0.3% from last year as shoppers are broke.

Americans will see the economy spiral downward come January when their medical  monthly payroll deductions double and the Bush tax cuts expire. Many of those just barely hanging on will fall over the cliff into financial oblivion. So shop like there's no tomorrow, because there isn't a tomorrow.

Sleight of Hand

North Korea is like the crazy neighbor with guns and pit bulls who occaisionally shoots at your house or turns the pit bulls loose on you. You call the cops but his county commissioner uncle makes the whole thing go away. You know that eventually you're going to have to kill the crazy bastard or learn to live with it.

Uncle China protects it's crazy nephew DPRK because it doesn't want Uncle Sam and nephew ROK on it's border. If DPRK collapses and reunifies under ROK then China would be uncomfortable with all those prying eyes looking over the border.

Neither the US, ROK or Japan could abide DPRK overrunning the peninsula where DPRK and China would threaten Japan. DPRK would harass Japan like it has ROK, and the Japanese wouldn't abide it. But the Chinese would overrun the Korean peninsula with ease if US/ROK and DPRK went to war. The Chinese are just too close with too many troops to do much about it.

The world seems to need the crazy nephews. DPRK, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda all  seem to have some utility in the world. The commissioners like the passive display of power and influence that makes them important. Their ability to calm the crazy cousin implies an ability to incite as well.

So what are the Chinese doing with the hand you can't see? The DPRK bark is cover for something else occurring in the background. And what is China? A nation state or just a tool for global oligarchs to use in the ever-struggle for power? The oligarch controlled global media want your eyes focused on the Korean peninsula. Meanwhile, something else is moving to consolidate power amongst oligarchs and further enslave the common man.

Rape and Slavery in the West

The UK has had a couple of high profile cases where muslim gangs rape and enslave young white girls in the UK. These crimes have caused "discussion" in the UK but little more. After all, it's just not polite to profile or talk down about other cultures.

Here's the British sons-of-immigrants raping and enslaving white British girls in 21st century UK:

Yep. They're Pakistani muslims with one convicted white pedophile. An upstanding group of subjects that add value to British society. They're all serving time in UK prisons, soon to be out and back to their own version of jihad.

In most countries and history these dirt bags would be lucky to get to trial, let alone a long, hard prison sentence. The girl's fathers would kill them, and the village men would help. But in the civilized UK, these crimes are studied and fretted over as the British try to understand what went wrong.

Let me help you Brits on this, from a historical perspective. You're weak and have invited barbarians into your country who see themselves as conquerors and will rape your women to show their superiority and your weakness. It is a great shame upon you that these rape/enslavements occurred AND an even greater shame that you didn't brutally kill these foreign animals.

In any other place or time, the mutilated corpses of these soldiers-of-allah would have been hung in the neighborhoods that they came from as a message. The message would be "this is what we do to animals that rape and enslave our womenfolk. If it happens again, we just may kill all of you".

But the modern British will sacrifice their girls to these conquerors and apologize for thinking non-PC thoughts. Such is the immorality and weakness of the modern metro sexual British people. Spit!

But are white americans any better? Not so much. We let the conquering blacks and latinos use our white girls as trophy whores. Then we get to support the mutts that emerge from the white sperm spittoons, adding injury to insult.

I don't care what sins Westerners committed in the past. Only God can make justice. We can't right old wrongs in this mortal coil. But if you let cultural conquerors rape and enslave your girls today, you are an immoral, weak reject of your bloodline. And a reject of God.

Of Fools and Grifters

Former senator Alan Simpson co-chaired the Obama Debt Reudction Commission and recently lashed out at an undefined age group as the "greediest generation" of americans. His comments weren't very coherent and he showed very little comprehension of why his commission's work was criticized. The senator should know that calling people names is not going to help his cause.

Everyone knows that US debt is unsustainable in the new global "normal" economy. The commission made prudent recommendations to cut future spending that might reduce debt. As Simpson said, the commission  just looked at data then cut a little of this and a bit of that. This approach will not work, it will only lead to anger and inertia.

Any US debt solution needs to start with a common vision of what 21st century america is going to Be going forward. Promises were made when we were one people with common values. Somewhere along the way, america splintered into many people with many, diverse values. There is no common vision of america at this point in time and the promises were carelessly discarded in the gutter once they became inconvenient.

The american people need to decide what america is going to Be going forward. Are we going to be the world's policeman? Are we going to be a socialist or capitalist state? Is the individual or the state sovereign? Should multinational corporations have limited or unlimited power? Does the US have borders? Should we raise Shanika's bastard child? Why are queers important to america? When is the debt for slavery put paid? Is the government a jobs and benefits organization or a servant of the people?

There are a multitude of questions, but we better figure these out so we can know where to cut spending. Until we can answer these questions to develop a path forward we are just gyrating through a maze like a mindless top.

I don't know if Simpson is ignorant or just senile but he isn't speaking like a leader with 50 years experience. People will follow a wise leader who gives sound, common-sense advice. People will look after themselves, i.e. be greedy, if given advice by a fool. The american people know that they have been led by either fools or grifters for decades. So they look after themselves.

Simpson compared this generation with the "greatest generation" who defeated tyrants, built the most successful economy in the history of man and created the most just civilization in history. He found this generation greedy in comparison. What did the "greatest generation" have that we don't? A common set of goals. Modern america has little in common.

So Simpson can call me greedy if I don't want any more goddamned mexicans in this country, don't want to raise Shanika's bastard, don't share GM's grifting global corporate vision, don't care about queers, am not a subject of the state and won't be led by fools and grifters. If Simpson and crew want my better angels then they better listen to what common men like me have to say. Otherwise just call me "greedy" John Galt.

I'm done being lied to and lectured by fools and grifters.

Happy Thanksgiving

Global Oligarchs Shell ROK

The real story about North Korea is not that they shelled South Korea or that they are continuing to develop nuclear weapons. The real story is how the West, especially the US, have abrogated their position as guaranteeor of civility and peace in the world. Other than outrage, the US really has nothing to say and even less that it is willing to do about nations that undermine civility.

Witness how DPRK, Iran and Pakistan have engaged in aggressive behaviors while openly developing nuclear weapons for the past couple decades. The West has done nothing but talk, sending the message that there are no bad consequences for bad actions. Pakistan and DPRK have discovered that their bad actions yield lucrative extortion income from the indecisive West.

The lesson to be learned from the DPRK's most recent event is that the US is powerless to effect any change in these types of matters. The US will deploy the Washington carrier group for exercises with ROK, in a show of solidarity. But no one believes that the US would go to war to defend the peninsula. There is no will.

The other lesson is that China has no problem with their DPRK pit-bull growling and occaisionally biting a neighbor. It has utility to contrast China as a good dog versus the DPRK bad dog. In reality, China owns the DPRK's actions as if they were China's actions.
Clearly China prefers to use economic power to force their way to the center of the global stage but they are willing to use proxies to terrorize the world into compliance  if necessary. Russia uses Iran and muslim terrorist groups for the same purpose.

It didn't have to be this way. The West, especially the US, allowed this to happen through greed, arrogance and weakness. The Chinese, Russians and others have always been what they are. They never changed. It is the West that changed, thinking it could have a global market, was smarter than everyone else and being unwilling to use force of arms to get it's way.

And who led the citizens of the West to these failed ideas but the global oligarchs and their inhuman multinational corporations that crave absolute power. China uses slave labor to power their economy so when GM and other multinational corporations set up operations in China they are using slave labor to make their products. The oligarchs who decide these things have no interest in the common man, except as slaves to be exploited.

In effect, global multinational corporations and the oligarchs that control them shelled ROK and prevent citizen controlled governments from stopping the madness.

The citizens of the West, especially the US, let the global elite's evil sickness for power pervert the world order until we have thug nations like China and Russia using proxies such as DPRK, Pakistan, Iran, et al terrorizing the world into submission. We are at a junction of history, either the citizns of the West smash the global oligarchs or submit to slavery.

Toby


He showed up at my house one February night nine years ago. My daughter brought him home with some story about being in a box outside the grocery store. I said he could stay the night but she had to find the lab-pit mix a home, we already had three dogs. He never left.

He was a lab on steroids, built like a horse. He had the gentle disposition of a lab but the killer instincts of a pit bull. Ground hogs and racoons that invaded our property were dispatched to God by mighty Toby. He was a good judge of human character as well, treating sociopaths and dopers with contempt and a growl.

This past year all of his health problems started catching up with him. Hip, teeth and paw problems ravaged him and made him miserable. It was time to send him to God.

I've had a dozen dog companions that have shared my life. My life has been richer because of them. I will miss mighty Toby, just as I missed all those who went before him. I like to think that their life was better because they were a member of my pack. I know my life was better because they were members of my pack. Maybe we'll meet again in Gwynvyd.

Why Work?

You get up every morning, five days a week, to head off to work. For eight or more hours a day you do your work then come payday, you take home barely enough to pay the bills with maybe a few dollars for yourself. But you're lucky, at least you have a full time job. What about that single mom with two or three kids down the street. Think again, she might be doing better than you just working ten hours a week.


Ain't socialism just grand?

Questions

I've never been a conspiracy theory kinda guy. But now, I just don't know. There's just been too much, too often and I've heaved over to the camp that wonders if we're in the midst of a global coup d'etat.
  • Why would governments, academia and the media conspire to create a global warming hoax?
  •  How could Al Qaeda train then commandeer five aircraft so easily?
  • Why would banks ignore fiducial responsibility to allow a housing bubble to grow until it destroyed the global economy?
  • Why would the government and corporations allow much of US manufacturing to move to communist China?
  • Why won't the US government allow oil drilling in the US?
  • Why is the US southern border wide open?
  • Why is the US government ignoring the 4th Amendment and treating US citizens like criminals?
  • Why are democrats, republicans and the media all attacking Sarah Palin and the Tea Party?
  • How can the Fed and government bail out global banks by borrowing and printing money that taxpayers can never repay, then borrow and print more that enslave our grandchildren to banks?
Something is terribly wrong. None of these things happen accidentally or because of a single bad government. Vast organizations don't all go stupid at once, down to the lowliest clerk. People saw things. But everybody trusted their leadership to look after them and their organization. Now some of us wonder.

The EU and the Treaty of Lisbon is a perfect example. When the voters of the individual nations voted on the EU constitution, most disapproved, fearing the loss of a representative government. The EU rammed the treaty through, much like the US healthcare reforms, and now Eurps are subjects of unelected bureaucrats.

One of those bureaucrats, Hermann Van Rompuy, said in 2009:

"2009 is also the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of a financial crisis; the climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet."

Global governance? Who signed up for that? I don't recall the Eurps, americans or anyone else voting for "global governance".

I don't know the particulars of who our global leaders are but I have my suspicions. And I don't think these global leaders give one moments thought about what's best for the common man. The last hope for man is the US Constitution but now it is under full attack by global leaders. The Fall of the Republic is here unless americans wake up and take a stand. How? I don't know. But we better figure it out.

Lower Growth to Hold US in Depression

The Fed is reported to be lowering growth forecasts and raising unemployment forecasts for 2011 on Tuesday. The original US growth forecast was 3.5 to 4 percent but Fed members believe growth will be 3 percent or less. It may be 2012 until unemployment reaches 8 percent and even after, the long term structural unemployment may be 6 percent rather than the historical rate of 5 percent.

Asylum america

NIH reports that 20 percent of american adults are mentally ill. Duh. I think their estimates are way low. Every democrat is nuts, so that's roughly half the adults in america. No wonder america is a ruin. It's an open asylum.

Patterns


See the pattern? It starts at the airport with TSA and slowly expands until all "subjects" are monitored every second for the safety of all.

Note to Readers

Other than Googlebot, Obama Gun Ban zombies and a few regular readers this blog suffers from the Irish curse, may grass grow on your doorstep. The gloomy news and my cynical treatment of it has run off the few readers I had. If this blog were a company, I'd be bankrupt because I'm not bringing value to my customer.

I intended this blog to be a place where I could put current events into historical perspective so I could make sense of it all. In the beginning I read often, thought much and posted little. The disturbing events the past couple of years have caused me to read even more, have less comprehension because of the irrational nature of events then post far too many fragmented,cynical pieces. Like the old programmer's adage "garbage in, garbage out" I am suffering from "disturbing in, disturbing out".

I've come to the conclusion that it's really impossible to analyze and rationalize insanity. And insanity is what we have writ large at this time. I believe great bloggers like Wretchard, Hanson and others are suffering from the insane topics afoot in our world. Like me, they seem sad and angry about what's going on yet helpless to do anything about it.

I no longer find the news either amusing nor informing. Mostly just sad, disturbing stories and propaganda from criminals who masquerade as our leadership elite. We have an Obama with the moral authority of a Putin or a Bernanke with the credibility of Ahmadinejad. NYT, Pravda, BBC are all just propaganda organs of some unhuman organization.

Since I neither bring value to readers or myself, I'm going to read less, think less and post sparingly. I think it's all been said really.

Something Yet to Come

Just in time for the coming holidays the government has decided that it is done pussyfooting around with the american people. The elections are over, the stock market has sloughed off the pretend gains, the Fed is monetizing debt and I suspect the really bad stuff is about to start happening. DHS is not even pretending to care about the Constitution or what americans think about abusive procedures.

A few weeks back I wrote that something had changed. That there was an air of desperation about our leadership elites. I believe we're seeing something new manifest itself.
  • The intrusive TSA searches at airports, for now.
  • The insistence on the deficit reduction commission recommendations for changes.
  • Fear mongering over cyber-attacks and terrorist attacks and bank stress tests and bailouts.
  • Government manipulation of gold, bond, stock and commodity prices. Capital controls. Government induced inflation.
 It is as though the game is rigged and carefully choreographed for something yet to come.  I don't know what.

US Gropes Nuns and Children


Ever want to put your hands up a nun's habit and grope Christ's bride's junk? This is just shameful. I'm sure the sister forgave the TSA screener but what kind of police state would humiliate a nun like this? And especially with that flag hanging there "over the land of the free and the home of the brave".


How about this flag instead? Yeah. The Gestapo would grope a nun. Or a child. But of course our oligarchs aren't groped. They fly on private jets without TSA strip searches. That's just for the proletariate.

I am truly ashamed to be an american.

Running Back Towards the Cliff


Oh-oh. NY manufacturing index fell flat on it's ass this morning. Orders, shipments and hours worked all tumbled in the current report. But retailers reported an increase in October sales after months of declines. Meanwhile Moodys revealed that US treasury notes would suffer from an extension of the Bush tax cuts. Ireland, Portugal and Greece need ECB bailouts to survive as contagion spreads across the Eurozone.

The West is running back towards the cliff.

TSA Safety

This civilian's encounter with TSA tells the whole story. Um yeah. Leave. No, wait come back, you might have an incendiary device. On second thought, we'll just sue then fine you $10,000 you miserable fucking peon. This guy's lucky. Las Vegas police would have shot him in the heart a dozen times with a 45.

DHS Says Submission is Your Role

In an editorial today Napolitano urges americans to submit to government strip searches and groping, saying americans have a role in their own abuse. It's for the safety you see.

The West Concedes Victory to Islam

Now that the US has been defeated by Islamists we need to withdraw from Muslim lands, pay jizya and submit to Allah. NATO is conceding defeat by the Taliban and Karzai wants combat operations to cease so a negotiated settlement can be had. The UK's top general admits that Al Qaeda can't be defeated only contained.

The West has destroyed it's economies, bankrupted it's treasuries and surrendered it's freedoms fighting Allah's warriors. All in vain. The divided West went to battle unprepared to wage war and lost in it's half assed attempts.

More importantly, since the West won't breed and Muslims breed like rabbits the dye is cast. The future belongs to those who breed. The West has lost it's will to go on so it will fall to those who breed. The failed war against Islam is but another manifestation of this failure of will to go on.

Islam will be a good fit for the coming third world america. Most americans seem to want a police state where all wealth and power is controlled by the "big men". Women can be removed from the work force to provide work for the mostly beta men. Islam will clean up the cesspool that is modern america once women are veiled and removed from the public domain.

It will take a little getting used to but americans will adapt to Islam. If americans can adapt to having their little daughters strip searched or fondled by strangers, they can adapt to Islam. After all, isn't a society judged by how it treats it's weakest members? Veiling and seperating women is far better treatment than publicly stripping and fondling women in the name of security. Don't you think?

TSA Porno Radiographs Are Relatively Harmless

Some people are concerned about the health risks of a TSA security porno radiographs. Let's put these scans in perspective.

The probability of dying from radiation from a body scanner and that of being killed in a terror attack are roughly the same, he said. About one in 30 million.
"They're both incredibly unlikely events. These are still a factor of 10 lower than the probability of dying in any one year from being struck by lightning in the United States."

The chances of developing fatal skin cancer from scans OR being killed in a terrorist attack are identical. Statistically you have ten times the risk of being struck by lightning or 1600 times the risk of being killed  in an automobile crash in any given year. 

You ought to be much more worried about dying in an automobile crash than being killed by a terrorist. So why are americans submitting to stripping for the government when they fly?

Mexifornia

More than half of California school children are latinos. Yep. The Mexican Reconquista has succeeded in the state formerly known as California. Did I mention that California is bankrupt, business and residents are fleeing and, oh yeah, the state is dying?

You gotta hand it to latinos, they love to have sex and they make it count. No pills, spermicides or abortions for the senoritas, they hump and pump. Why not, the gringos will pick up the bills.

It's a damn good thing that Nina is teaching my grandboys to speak Spanish. Now I just need to teach them how to survive on the streets of Mexico.

The Islamists Won

I'm calling it. The Islamists won. They won the day we succumbed to allowing ourselves to be virtually strip searched or, worse yet, molested by security agents in the name of safety. And even worse yet, safety that will never come, because the bomber will always, eventually, succeed, leading to even more security horrors.

I had a conversation the other day at work with one of my guys. This big, adult man complained that he was not absolutely safe because I have a right to carry a firearm. He thought I shouldn't have that right. That the government should ban guns because that would make him safe. He got angry when I asked him if criminals would refrain from carrying and using weapons because of the law. He couldn't answer the question. He just blustered, dissembled and said I was wrong.

Absolute safety. What would that look like? Everyone locked in a cage? There never has been nor never will be absolute safety. You can always reduce risk but you can never eliminate risk. So long as your heart beats and your lungs breathe, you will never be safe.

Westerners are cowards. Rather than fight and kill those who conduct and support those who would kill Western civilians, Westerners submit to "security measures" like allowing your daughter to have a finger traced across her labia and butt crack. Or irradiate her while taking radiographs that would send a civilian to prison for child pornography. All in the name of "security" that will never come.

Our ancestors would be angry, as they should be. We gave up rights that were bought with much blood and treasure in a vain, hopeless quest for safety. We will have neither rights nor safety. Islamists and myriad other thugs will wreak mayhem while we are all treated like criminals to be groped, poked and demeaned.

So let the record show that the Islamists won the "war" against the West in October 2010.

Goodnight

 I wonder just how many dads and grandpas enjoy watching Nina with their children and grandchildren. At the end of a long, hard day there's nothing like having lovely Nina, your fantasy baysitter, spend a little quality time with you before tucking you in for the night.

My wife says I'm in love with Nina. I wouldn't call it love. But I do enjoy her sweet and innocent ways, her veiled and classic feminine charms and just being treated like a child for a few minutes every day. Me, the grandboys, Kipper and Nina together for a few minutes in the evening is one of the high points of every day. It keeps me young at heart.

Obama G20 Epic Fail

The DOW has lost all of it's post-election/QE2 gains this week, just like I suspected would happen. You see, everything is choreographed in america these days by the oligarchs. The proletariat was supposed to feel wealthy going into the elections so they would vote for democrats. Now that the elections are over, who cares.

China is already feeling the inflation from QE2 and is taking steps to cool their economy. So are we according to a recent Walmart survey that reports inflation at 0.6 % the past two months. Bernanke's folly will hurt most americans and the global economy. But the oligarchs will earn big returns on commodities and FX investments as the trade wars flare up.

Institutional and sovereign investors are showing a lot of interest in the GM IPO. Almost $60B in orders have been booked for the dirtbag's stock. It seems that some investors don't mind buying a piece of a company that walks away from it's commitments to investors, vendors, employees and communities that supported it's operations.

The G20  told Obama and the US to fuck off in Seoul this week. Just like in america, none of the world's leaders trust or believe the tan man or his team. Obama and Bernanke want to fix american problems by destroying other countries economies. The dollar is ultimately doomed as the international reserve currency and may not survive as the US currency.

TSA and the Police State

The TSA is rightfully catching hell for doing porn photoshoots and groping passengers. This country is becoming a police state despite the Constitutional 4th amendment right from unlawful search and seizure. People have every reason to be wary of the government's claim that body scanners aren't harmful. Subjecting women and children to genital groping is just wrong.

Islamists now define what horrors we will be subjected to by their latest method of attack. If they insert a C4 tampon in a jihadess, women will have to remove tampons. Where will the madness stop? Digital rectal probes? Exploratory surgery? Fly us naked and bound, stacked like cordwood?

I haven't flown since 911 and I probably never will again. I drive and if the destination is too far to drive then I don't go. I stopped feeling like a valued customer by airlines and security in the 80s. I sure don't want to be treated like a criminal or terrorist now. I can't stand silent in the presence of abuse so I would probably run my mouth and end up tased, jailed and on the no fly list.
If I saw someone stick their hand up my wife or daughter's dress or paw their breasts, I would be honor bound to break their nose. Then I would be sent to prison.

The government guard dogs hired by TSA are often the dregs of society. Give them a badge and a radio and they will instantly turn into Gestapo thugs. I know the type well. You'll see them strutting around the mall bullying anyone they can while dreaming they are Dirty Harry. They are more of a threat than goddamned jihadis.

Let's stop this cowardly Homeland Security/TSA bullshit and start being fearless Americans again. If some jihadi goes terrorist in public, let the civilian men beat the sonofabitch to death. Post photos of the dead jihadist like a bagged deer with the smiling heros and the shit will stop.

Deficit Commission Ready to Report

The Deficit Commission is preparing to release it's report to Sultan Obama, the congressional oligarchs and the american peons. It hasn't one glimmer of hope of passage in the congress the next two years. And frankly it's too little, too late for america. No matter how many Chinese built printing presses Bernanke wears out printing dollars, he can't hold back the self-inflation generating rise in interest rates that will cause the dollar collapse.

The Malevolent Eye Visits the Bruig


The Googlebot stopped by the Bruig today for almost 23 minutes to scan two of my blog postings from last summer. The malevolent eye read both postings and recorded them in the Dark Vault. Usually the Googlebot does a one second scan then moves off. Today was different. It sat brooding over my musings, leaving a gloom over the Bruig and the smell of sulfur in my man cave.

Save the US economy by Inflation

Gonzo Lira as a piece on Bernanke's QE2 Hail Mary "Save the US economy by Inflation" play and the effect on american's purchasing power. You don't have to be very smart or know anything about economics to see through the EPIC FAIL that our leadership is inflicting on the american people.

See where you sit against BLS data lies and bullshit then look at your budget. Will you feel wealthier with gas at $4.00/gallon and Cheerios at $6.00 per 8.9 oz box while working without a raise for the next decade? Do you think you'll be buying more or less consumer items that make america go round and round?

The kids can't do a worse job of it.

China will overtake the US as the world's biggest economy in two years according to the Conference Board's Purchasing Power Parity scale. Sounds like some kind of horseshit scale to me but it's clear that China's economy is gaining on both Japan and the US. If the US sits here in iDepression2.0 for the next decade while China builds a consumer economy, the Chinese will overtake the US with ease.

China's SAIC is planning on buying a single digit chunk of GM. Good for them! The Chinese can buy all of GM as far as I'm concerned. GM stopped being an american company when they fucked all of their US employees, american communities and the US taxpayers. The GM/UAW dirtbags can pay the taxpayers back, move to China and ruin Chinese lives and communities.

The Chinese military is getting pretty good at anti-satellite warfare. But in the process, they're making an orbital junkyard. I don't know why they're worried about a confrontation with the US. We're clearly an empire in full decline. Give the US another decade and we'll have a UK sized Navy that can barely defend the Chesapeake Bay.

Students in the UK staged violent protests today against the UK government's austerity measures.

Besieged bobbies look like Roman legionaires trying to hold back the barbarians at the gates of Rome. Like the Greeks and French, they will win the battle but lose the war. One day in the near future those few bobbies won't show up to stop the kids from over-running the imperial palace. Young people will demand a future and who can blame them. All my generation can provide youth is debt, ruin and despair. Smash it all, and burn it to the ground!

Remember how fast the Soviet Union collapsed? And how quietly? The West may collapse even faster but much noisier.

My generation has wrecked the West and made a ruin of all of my parent's generations work. If the kids want to smash the hollowed out Potemkin village and burn it to the ground, I won't defend the ruin. My generation has lost the right to rule. The kids can't do a worse job of it.

Close to the Edge

The Dagong credit rating agency lowered america's credit rating from AA to A+ today. “The serious defects in the U.S. economy will lead to long-term recession and fundamentally lower the national solvency,” Dagong said in a report

Food and clothing inflation will soar in the coming year due to global crop failures. Oil prices are on the move upwards as investors seek safety in commodities. Bernanke wants inflation, he's going to get inflation...on food and fuel.

Unemployment is about to run out for 5 million americans who will scramble to take any job they can find, even if it pays little more than their weekly UC benefit. But you can't live an american life on $20,000 a year. And it won't seem like much of a life if you're making a third or half of what you made before the depression.

The future of Boeing, the 787 Dreamliner, had smoke in the cabin and was forced to make an emergency landing during a test flight. Oh, and shuttle Discovery is grounded for yet another problem on it's final flight. Is there a pattern here?

Meanwhile did somebody launch a  missile off the coast of america's second largest city. And no one knows who dun it or what it even is! The military won't comment and speculation is just crazy. Chinese, Iranians, aliens, secret government programs, Obama! Nobody trusts anybody, especially our own government.

Our entire american civilization is close to the egde.

Is american Debt Sustainable?


The WSJ showed IMF estimates of the national borrowing needs for 2011 and surprisingly the US was #2 behind FUBAR Japan. Altogether Western economies need to borrow $10.2T to carry on lifestyles that should have ended three decades ago.

Americans will need to borrow $4.2T (26% of GDP) in 2011 to keep the can rolling down the road for another year. That's 7% of 2008 global GDP. Since the US generates 25% of global GDP you'd think we wouldn't have to borrow from the rest of the world. But, hey, american exceptionalism and all that stuff. Needless to say, this is unprecedented in peacetime and utterly unsustainable.

Sarah Palin has a few things to say about Bernanke's plan to print and pump. Read her comments here.

Unless americans dig up a 195 thousand pound gold ball every year, we're going to have to borrow or cut back. It's a trick question, but what do you think is going to happen?

Los Zeta Justice


While we're on gross, this site has a Zeta drug cartel video of the execution of four Gulf Cartel assassins. Some background here.

Just another day in Mexico. And soon it will be coming to a neighborhood near you. Liberals will tell you that all cultures are equal, that marijuana is harmless and resisting illegal immigration is racist. Whatdya think now?

This is probably the grossest story that I've ever read in my life. In fact, I never thought that I'd ever read a story like this. But it's 2010 america and anything is possible, and apparently, we need to know everything. I'm certain that this sort of story occurs everyday and has through the ages. But it's only told by the coarsest of people in the coarsest of classes (I guess that says something about me retelling the story, as it were). I'm only posting this story for posterity, so future historians can have a glimpse of our time. Read at your own risk.

Putin Is a Man


Putin just can't quit being a man. Now he's driving Formula 1 race cars at 150 mph, driving the car so hard into a corner that he spun out. Compare this unapologetic man to the pampered, perfumed metrosexual princes of the West. Sad eh?

G20 Suggestion that won't be Heard

When the G20 sits down to discuss the global economic crisis that the US caused, a Malaysian has some ideas that are worth hearing, before they are rejected by the Great Powers.

Basically he calls for currencies to be backed by a gold standard, a currency speculation ban and investments be tied to production that benefits mankind rather than individual wealth creation.

Consider the CRA that caused the latest economic crisis. At face value it seemed noble, make it possible for more people to buy and own a home. Homeowners are vested in the system, hence will take better care of their home, be participating members of their community, become part of solutions rather than hectoring outsiders and build wealth in a community.
But the system was corrupted almost from the beginning by home buyers, home sellers, brokers, banks and speculators who each tried to get rich fast. CRA was instantly turned into a ponzi scheme that had nothing to do with the original purpose of the legislation.
A TV network was created to show scam artists and the soon to be fleeced how to get in on the action. In some parts of the country people bought million dollar homes that they couldn't afford to live in that they intended to sell to other people that couldn't afford to live in them either, everyone just living month to month, kicking the impossible can down the road hoping to cash out before it all collapsed. Meanwhile real estate agents, brokers, home improvement stores and contractors made a ton of money.
I remember my wife watching some Flip That House show and hearing some arrogant prick say "No one will buy that house with the tiny bathroom and kitchen". Both looked big enough to me and I thought who the hell do people think they are, pampered princes? Is the bathroom big enough to crap and wash in? Is the kichen big enough to cook and eat in? You aren't going to ballroom dance in either room. At the turn of the 20th century most homes didn't have either a bathroom or kitchen. Now people want a bedroom sized bathroom (or three) and a restaurant kitchen in their home? Oh you must have granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances or people will think you a hick.

Once the system was front loaded, the Masters of Ponzi (i.e.banksters) figured out how to make bigger fortunes carving up and hiding these "investments" for greedy marks, who also wanted something for nothing. The whole scam grew until it could no longer grow, then it collapsed. The Masters did their work so well, that even two years later it is almost impossible to unwind the ponzi scheme. No one knows who has what.

So trillions of dollars were created from thin air, spread through the global financial system and then just disappeared. The Masters of Ponzi who made their fortune early, then got out before the ponzi collapsed are ahead of the game. Everyone else? Fucked.

The worst of it is that the entire system is infected with ponzi residual so no one knows what anything is really worth. Consider that no one even knows what any currency is worth at this stage of the game. Since institutional trust was utterly ruined by this debacle, no one knows who or what to believe. So everyone hunkers down until it sorts itself out. Which could be ten years, or never.

I just wanted a job that I could perform well that would pay enough to buy a house, some middle class comforts, save some money for when I grow old so I could raise a family. Not much. But everything to me. Now that time has run out for me, everything is uncertain. What is my house worth? What are my pensions worth? What are my savings worth? Hell, what is a dollar worth?

No one will be prosecuted for this disaster, this crime against humanity. National and international leadership have no idea how to get us out of the crisis. Real people are and will continue to suffer. No one cares. Everyone is just looking out for hisself as best he can.

The Malaysian has some sound ideas but no one will listen at the G20 meeting. His ideas don't provide the flexibility that the get-rich-from-nothing and Masters of Ponzi crowds need to rob humanity at will. And humanity won't track them down and put a pitchfork through their black hearts to stop the madness. So the next economic crisis is already an ever expanding bubble.

Obamulus Rex


Ok. It's mean. But they're all his symbols that he gathered for hisself. And as Drudge says "Not since Caesar or Pharoah has an imperial court travelled in such opulence". But whatdya expect if you hand a nigga your credit card and the keys to the Escalade?

My what big ears you have Obamulus. It's all for show, I can't hear a goddamned thing Joe.

Wondering how it's all going to End for america


The US risks becoming a pariah in the global economic community because of it's destruction of the global reserve currency through quantative easing. The upcoming G20 global economic meeting in Seoul will fail to reach agreement because the US is attempting to fix it's broken economy by destroying other nation's economies. The US has gone so far as to propose limiting current accounts, which was rejected offhand by communist Chinese as harking back to the days of planned economies.

The US created it's own problems and needs to deal with them internally. The 30 million excess american workers need to be taken off public assistance, thrown in the street and told to go die quietly. The Great Society lie that the half of americans that work can provide for the half that don't has been revealed as an epic fail. There never has been nor ever will be a free lunch.

The US started living a lie in the late 60s and has built lie upon lie until the entire country is a ruin.

The lie begins with this idea that all cultures and people are equal AND everyone deserves an equal result in life. There is a reason that Mexico, Rwanda, Pakistan et al are poor and wretched, and it's not because they were victimized by European culture. They are poor and wretched because the people are stupid and their culture is ghastly. The US had a smarter population and a better culture but then we decided all people and cultures were equal AND deserved an equal result. So black girls decided they could fuck like bunnies, have babies and white folk would pay to raise them. We got generations of entitled blacks that won't work AND beget more of the entitled same. Black men are mostly perpetual teenagers living off the free money from black women. Pretty soon white girls look around and say, hey, I want the same deal. Now we have most of the female population of the country slutting around with babies being raised by the state. And perpetual white teenagers want the same deal as black men.

Why do I give one goddamn about some child that the dad doesn't care about? I don't. I don't care at all. It's not my problem. The mother and father should have thought about who would care about the fruit of their union before they had their moment of passion. Actions have consequences. They can die and their kid can die. There is no compelling reason to reward the propagation of stupid genes. Throughout history stupid genetic lines dies out. It must be God's plan, not mine.

The next lie of the Great Society is that, since we all have equal result, we all can live like millionaires. Everybody gets the big wage, the big car, the big house, and all the trappings of a 19th century railroad baron. Trade unions grow out of control, extorting higher wages until labor is making more than engineers. Eventually hard work or skill decouples from earnings and every worker gets the same wage, no matter his merit. Why work smart or hard if you get paid the same as the idiot slacker?
Even the educated middle manager jumps on the train, buys the McMansion and Escalade, vacations in Aruba by piling up debt he can never repay. Not enough income to live large, put the wife to work as some corporate middle manager that shuffles fucking papers and attends meaningless meetings about diversity and the lack of opportunity for women in the workplace. Gains to society? Wealth created? None.

The final lie is that we don't have to make smelly, dirty stuff here. We can have foreigners do that smelly, dirty stuff over there for next to nothing so we can breathe freely here in all our shiny, new toys. Send those smelly, dirty factories to Mexico, China and elsewhere so slaves can build our toys cheaply so we can all pretend to be beautiful people. We'll design the toys and tell them what to do then make a living selling the cheap stuff to each other. And...we need some exotic slaves here to do the smelly, dirty work that we won't do. The colored slaves can take out the trash, mow the manicured grass and cook our food. They like that sort of thing, serving beautiful white folk, and such.

I think the real reason why we pay off the lazy and irresponsible is not because we feel sorry for them. The real reason is we don't want to see the smelly, dirty dead bodies in the street and fear the smelly, dirty folks coming to our homes with a knife to butcher us and steal our stuff. Nothing high minded about american generosity.

The rest of the world has every right to condemn, criticize and even fight US attempts to pawn our economic problems off on them. It is wrong. 21st century america has evolved in an arrogant, entitled, immoral society that would destroy the lives of billions of people to live large just one more fucking day.

The US has given away the golden goose that created american wealth, destroyed the culture of independence and work and become an arrogant, soft, entitled population that thinks it is above the rest of the world. Let's see how that works out in the crucible of the history of mankind.
The american population is going to get it's comeuppance in this world and it will not be pretty. We can do this slowly or quickly, the pain can come fast and hard or otherwise, but the pain will come. It must.

So shut the tap off and let the inevitable happen. People will make a way for themselves or die. Tis always been the way for humankind and we are no better than our forebears. I'd guess that half of the US population are moochers crowding the public trough so they can be as obese as they want to be. Create wealth, pay your way or die. What good are you if you aren't a productive element of society anyway? And while we're at it, we should clean out the millions of private sector, paper shuffling parasites that inhabit state sized cubicle farms in this country that suck rather than create wealth. Create wealth or die.

It is sad and pathetic watching the spectacle of Obama crawling in splendor to India to beg for exported jobs to be sent back to america. Indians, being smarter than americans, will politely decline, saying they must look after India first. Eventually, Obama will beg China for some of america's outsourced jobs and he will be dismissed.

It was evil and insane to send our technology to the communist Chinese. I did my part in 2000 when I refused to participate in technology transfer to China. After the company found someone else to do the dirty work, I made certain that the equipment arrived in China as scrap metal. I refused to provide technical support to the company's Chinese unit. If more americans had been american first, we would not have as many problems as we have today. But many good little american employees did what they were told, oftentimes boxing up their own job for shipment to China then teaching a Chinaman how to do his job.

So we're becoming both pathetic and despised in the world for blaming the rest of the world for problems that we created here. I can't blame the world for snickering then telling america to fuck off. And buy more stuff with your useless dollars, bitch. The Chinese have  women shortages, maybe after the dollar collapses we can trade american welfare sluts for Chinese stuff. Kill two birds with a single stone!

The Indians have cleared Delhi of monkeys so they won't heckle Obama and america on his visit. Meanwhile the rest of the world is shaking their heads and wondering how it's all going to end for america.

Friday Dump


BLS reported 159,000 people found work in October but unemployment remained steady at 9.6% (if you still believe any data from the government). Labor force participation fell 1.5% to 64.5% in this depression. Apparently 3 million people have just vanished in america. Who knew?

Oil broached $87 per barrel, so expect gasoline prices at or above $2.90 per gallon. We're there already here in the middle of the country. As QE2 printing presses begin spewing worthless greenbacks, expect oil prices to continue to move up.

Opt out of a TSA porno photoshoot, expect to be groped and fondled by a government bureaucrat. Oh yeah, open handed crotch rub and feel up the boobs. Even your baby girl will get pawed by government thugs. All in the name of security. So much for Constitution, Bill of Rights and america. We're all criminals now.

The local newspaper reported that 900 of 3457 city schoolchildren failed to get immunized this year. Free immunizations were offered by the local health department but one in four never showed up. The schools sent flyers home with children but caregivers never responded. Now social workers will go to each child's home to try to make arrangements.
State law requires schools to obtain immunization records and state that a child cannot attend school without immunizations. But the city schools are not suspending students who failed to get immunized, they can't afford the lost revenue. Civilization is collapsing hereabouts.

Interest in my Obama Gun Ban posting and the M1 Garand collapsed on election day. The evil eye of Google has turned away from my blog. Now I know how Frodo felt when Sauron looked away.

DOW Surges on...bad news

Such a strange world we live in. US unemployment increases, the dollar falls, oil price increases and the DOW zooms up 220 points. So much for rationality of the markets. Perhaps the markets rose on improved productivity and lower per unit labor costs. But neither of these metrics will improve the US consumer economy. Now that QE2 has been announced and the dollar is falling, oil prices have broken through $84 and are heading up. This can't be good news for the consumer economy. Some retailers reported better month to month sales in October. Perhaps this news influenced the markets. It's hard to read this market.

Brazil, China and Germany, as well as many economists, believe that QE2 is a mistake. I don't think any of the complaints will slow Bernanke and the Fed down. They have their orders. The oligarchs are going to print the deficit and pay down debt with devalued dollars. And I don't believe this is about the US economy or reducing unemployment. The oligarchs have written both off as the price of global control. Uppity americans need to learn that they deserve no better than any Indian, Idonesian, Chinaman or Rwandan peasants. Who needs an exceptionalist middle class when you can control billions of faux middle class around the world.

QE2 Announced

The Fed announced they will print $900B in 2011 in QE2 to finance Treasury debt in hopes to keep interest rates low thus spurring consumers and businesses to borrow thereby reducing unemployment. Interest rates are already zero yet neither consumers or businesses are borrowing. Most banks won't loan to those who really need loans and those who qualify aren't taking on more debt.

Let's put $900B in perspective. The federal government took in about $2.1T in tax revenues during 2009. But the federal government spent an extra $1.3T that it had to borrow in 2009.

So it looks like the Fed intends to just print next year's deficit. Just print money out of thin air, based upon nothing. That sounds like dollar devaluation to me. Devaluation of the world's reserve currency. That's serious business.

So all the things that we buy that come from other countries will cost more in dollars, oil, sugar, metals, minerals, et al will go up for US citizens. How will that help US exports and jobs? It won't.

And those of us saving for retiring? Bernanke says we need inflation. Our stock portfolio might be going up 6% but the dollar has already lost 15% of it's value and may lose 20%. So that big balance is actually 14% less than you had invested a year ago.

So when if you retire, inflation will mean that you pay more for what you need with dollars that are worth less.
How's that going to work for you?

Americans are exuberant over the election results yesterday. Big government may slow but the real story was the QE2 announcement today. We are so fucked.

Gridlock

Republicans scored big victories in the house and state governor races sending a vote of no confidence in democrat leadership. But with the presidency and senate still in democrat hands we're looking at two more years of czars, policy by executive edict but more importantly, legislative gridlock.

Obama and his democrat cohort are stubborn bastards and they will likely carry on with their mandate from heaven, ignoring the fact that outside major cities, most americans are fairly conservative. So we settle into our new normal, somewhere between policies of Canada and the EU.

The Fed will announce QE2 today and how much money they will print. It could be $500B or $2T, but without restraint it will push the dollar down and commodities up. With GDP growth under 2% and unemployment locked in at 10-20% the US economy will remain in a comatose state.

Obama and the imperial entourage will head to India where he and 3000 guests will spend $200M per day on a state visit. So what's the problem?
