Rush to Armageddon

World events the past ten years have been impossible to understand and predict. Lame Cherry has some ideas to explain about what has happened and what will happen. The Third Wave. It's worth pondering. I've added my take on his musings.

The global elites planned a multi-phased attack that would leave the world order in chaos and them in total power.

• The 911 attack was a setup to drag the US into war debt and repression by the global elites. Only a Pearl Harbor type attack could get americans to take on trillion dollar debts, invade countries on a WW2 scale and surrender Constitutional rights. The wars would set the US up as an international pariah, breakdown the concept of nation states and advance the idea of an international body to rule mankind. The elites would run the non-elected organization from the background.

• Next hedge funds were manipulated to create an unprecedented bubble that could be collapsed to wreck nation-state economies. The center of this 2008 economic warfare was the US and the intent was to so cripple america that it could never recover. In the process, america's economic model would be revealed to be broken and unworthy of future emulation. America's wealth could be moved to China where the people were more compliant and easier to manipulate.

• In the aftermath a destructive administration and Congress could be elected to drive america deeper into debt and slavery to the government while hopelessly dividing the population. The people's will and optimism could be systematically destroyed as the government rewrote history to make americans into human rights monsters worthy of hatred and intervention by the rest of humanity.

• Finally LC believes that the global elites will play the remnants of the West, Chinese, Russians, Latinos and Muslims against one another until humanity begs for an international government to be appointed by the global elites. They will rule as unelected hereditary emperors  forever over global peasant slaves.

I wish I could say this was impossible, fiendish fantasy. But look how events have played out over the last decade. No-one is trying to improve any problem and our leaders are trying to make matters worse with agendas like anthropomorphic global warming, Iran's nuclear proliferation and the breakdown of responsible civilizational standards.

Common Americans are the only people who can stop this rush to Armageddon by evil global elites. Is there enough Americans or even the will to stop what is coming? Or is John's revelation and God's judgement at hand.

Class Warfare

I was born into and lived in the lower middle class my entire life. I knew my place in society but never felt that I was in a battle with those above or below me. I treated everyone with a level of respect irregardless so long as they treated me decently. Of course there were a few uppity snobs who acted better than anyone else, but they were a minority.

I was taught to treat "great men" with a high level of respect and deference by virtue of their education, title and leadership. I believed that if these "great men" advanced through the ranks to positions of leadership in society that they deserved to be followed by a common fellow such as myself.

That belief started to crumble about a decade ago as I encountered more and more inept educated, titled leaders. I began to question a system that would promote college educated morons through the ranks to positions of power despite their inability to lead anything, anywhere. I started to sense corruption in the system.

I have found less and less "great men" as the years have wore on until I can't find any. Oh there are many who consider themselves "great men" who deserve to be treated as such. But I can't pretend. Rather than pretend to respect these mutts I avoid them so I'm not put in an uncomfortable social position.

Lately I've begun to hate the educated, titled, wealthy class above me. Their Lexus, McMansions, expensive lifestyles and haughty attitudes are beyond my respect. They disgust me, not because I'm envious, but because they are utterly unworthy

Until recently I've typically gravitated towards the managerial class, especially the educated technical class in society. I've completely rejected the managerial class now and I feel more as ease with the blue collar technical class. Most are competent at their work and don't act like big shots.

I see class warfare loose in the land as the competent class rejects the titled class and above completely. We see the upper class as the cause of the ruination of the economy and as taking unfair advantage of their positions at our expense. My class will no longer respect nor follow the upper classes as they destroy us. Trouble is brewing and will explode as the depression deepens.

The upper class has no respect whatsoever for labor. They'll reward themselves at $75-1000 per hour to tell peons paid $8-26 per hour what to do, when they don't understand the task at all. They think themselves better because they're deg reed and titled. They are lords over peasants.

The new feudal system will not serve the upper classes well. Our managerial class lords can't perform even the simplest tasks; change a tire, fix a toilet flapper or change a light switch. Those of us in the peasant class will treat our feudal lords as well as they treat us, which means that we will screw them without mercy.

In order for even a feudal society to function there must be some bond, some sense of shared fortune. Lords and peasants must understand that they must work together with some sense of fairness lest things begin to break down.

American society is completely failing. Half the population sees no reason to even try and go on public assistance. Twenty-five percent of the population is consolidating all wealth and power. The remaining quarter are working for peanuts, falling from the middle class and giving up hope. Why work or care when there is no hope or opportunity?

There is no longer a shared sense or bond holding the upper class and working class together in america. The big shots only look after themselves, to hell with everyone else. They will lay you off, ship your job to China or hire a Mexican in a heartbeat. You mean nothing to them in the new Zero Sum America.

So if I see their Lexus in the ditch, their McMansion on fire or they even ask for my help, I will walk right on by. These american lords are on their own now. Obama and the demomarxists can tax the hell out of them, I don't care. Let the class warfare proceed to it's logical conclusion.

Lara Mis-reports

Lara Logan is going to discuss her "sexual assault" on 60 Minutes. She's not covering herself in glory in this story. In fact she's letting CBS make some money off her misery while she does the same. And she plays fast and lose with both words and ideas in doing so.

In an interview with the NYT, Lara says that “for an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands” although she never mentions any vaginal penetration. Isn't rape a specific legal term that refers to vaginal penetration? Lara seems to be demeaning the word, and actual rape victim's suffering, with her loose use of the term.

Lara also fails to find the problem in Muslim society when she says,  “When women are harassed and subjected to this in society, they’re denied an equal place in that society. Public spaces don’t belong to them. Men control it. It reaffirms the oppressive role of men in the society.”Really? Men are the problem Lara? Not some specific men like Muslim men?

Lara seems to have a problem with men and oppression, as if the beating and groping might occur in Peoria, Leeds, Beijing or Santiago. Or perhaps anywhere that "men" can be found, at the soccer stadium, tabernacle, the rice paddy or the beach. Is this true or has Lara missed the point? Could it be possible that ladies shouldn't go out uncovered in Dar al Islam lest they get beaten and groped?

Lara missed an opportunity to make an important point about Islam to women. Instead she trivialized real rape victims and turned all men into Muslim predators. Great reporting! Now I guess that I'll dump Lara into the box labeled "Dumb Blonds".

2011 Tornado Count 35% Over Maximum

The 2011 US tornado count is 35% over the historical maximum so far this April. 290 people were killed in a single outbreak of tornadoes yesterday.

Beyond the tornado misery, a large chunk of US farmland is under water and planting is behind schedule. Meanwhile Texas is in drought. Yields will decline, driving up global food costs. With already high food costs, people will pay even more. Some will starve to death in this world.

God is not smiling on North Mexico.

Many americans Feel the Depression

Gallup reports that 29% of americans believe that the economy is in a Depression while another 27% believe that the economy is growing. I guess it all depends on whether you were harmed by the 2008 crash or not. Most executives and government workers didn't suffer at all from the economic crash. Their income stayed flat or even rose while many others fell out of the middle class and some went broke. Since executives don't hang out with the working class, how would they know what common people have suffered?

Meanwhile inflation jumped sharply, the economy slowed down and unemployment increased in the first quarter for those of us in the lower classes. The government claims that inflation rose 3.8% this quarter even though most of us know it rose much higher. Walmart even claims that it's customers are "running out of money"! Growth has collapsed to 1.8% for the year and probably means the Depression will deepen for most of common folks.

The dollar index dropped to 72.87 cents, the lowest since 2008. This means more pain is on the way in the form of higher gasoline and consumer products made in foreign lands. The wealth effect that all of those cheap imports was supposed to provide are gone.

McDonalds hired 62,000 workers during it's "Day of Hiring" on April 19. One million people applied for the mostly minimum wage jobs so 938,000 walked away jobless. Remember when McDonalds was always hiring. No more! Now anyone will take any job, no matter how shitty.

The common folks that are out of work, working for less or haven't had a raise in a few years are being gutted by higher prices unlike the wealthy 30 percent of executives, government employees and union workers. As the dollar erodes in value and import prices rise, they're going to feel their standard of living decline. They will feel the Depression.

Are americans Stoopid?

The AP is shilling for the Obama regime today, claiming that "only an oil shock can stop the economy now". The MSM is effectively part of the dictator's re-coronation team with claims that the economy will grow 3.2 to 3.5%, unemployment will fall to 8.4% and wages will grow above the annual 2.8% inflation rate. AP says that people feel wealthier, thus are spending more and that US manufacturing is up.

AP claims that gas prices nationally are $3.87/gallon and will fall to $3.50/gallon by this fall. Really? Yesterday when I drove home, local prices were $3.90/gallon and this morning were $4.19/gallon! WTF? That's 29 cents overnight! A Michigan TV station was shocked to find gasoline rose 6 cents overnight.

What hurricane, global unrest or other event caused gasoline to rise 7% overnight in my region? I got nothing. Do you? If the decline of the dollar or political upheaval is the problem, why wouldn't prices rise everywhere consistently? Something else is going on. And it is an oil shock.

Is Obama's AP covering up the truth about the economy? Seems that way. I don't know anyone that feels good about the economy or is out on shopping sprees. Do you? Case Shiller reports housing starts and sales are back to 2009 lows. Manufacturing activity is declining, not rising. Oil prices are sucking the life out of this country. Does Obama and his asshats think americans are freaking stoopid?

Age of Superpower America Ends in 2016

The IMF believes that the Chinese economy will overtake the US economy by 2016. The Chinese should have a much larger economy than the US to provide a decent lifestyle to a billion people. The Chinese government is doing the right thing by their people by providing opportunities.

The question is not whether China is rising or whether the US is declining. That is a given. The question is how quickly will the US decline and what will the decline look like. Will it be a slow affair like Spain and the UK or an implosion like the Western Roman empire?

Rough Tornado Season

The US weather patterns have been unfriendly lately. The tornado count so far this year is significantly above the maximum count for any year at 581, as of April 20th. Bruigville is located in Tornado Alley and we've already been in shelter once this year due to a tornado warning. We'll be in shelter again this year.

I've had a house destroyed around me by a tornado once in my life. It makes you understand how small we are and how powerful the planet is. And how our lives can disappear in the twinkle of an eye. Statistically one has a 6 in a million chance of being struck by a F4-F5 tornado in any 60 year period. I should be safe for the rest of my life.

What I am

I've been thinking about what I am this week. What am I? I can't identify with America anymore, the construct of America that I grew up with is gone. I don't recognize the values or culture of this country and it's people anymore. Nor do I accept them. I no longer refer to myself as an american.

There was a time when I identified myself with a company and a title. But that was long ago. Companies no longer want anything more than a daily spot purchase of labor. Labor is a commodity. There is no bond whatsoever. Engineer? Means nothing anymore. Words are meaningless in american culture.

Husband, father? More meaningless words in modern america. Both words make me an enemy of the state and a matriarchal sexist who belongs in prison for the rest of my life. The US is now an African village where random mating occurs and children are raised by the state/village. Husbands and fathers are redundant these days.

So what am I? Well, after pondering this matter during my 10 hours of commuting this week, I've arrived at a conclusion. I'm simply an old, white man who believes in God.

I'm both physically old and I believe in the old ways of my ancestors.

I'm white because I come from the purest Caucasian genetic lines and I embrace historical white culture.

I'm a man because I'm exclusively heterosexual and I exclusively embrace masculine mannerisms. I have no feminine side and don't understand women at all...ever. But I like them a lot, mostly. Well in certain ways.

I believe that I was created by Yahweh and I follow His Ten Commandments. I'm not to sure about the psychobabble after that. Being an ever-cynic makes it difficult for me to trust prophets and priests. So the cultural constructs of formal religions are difficult for me to embrace. Essentially, when a man starts asking me for food or money or bowing before a man, I'm outta here.

So, I'm an old, white man who believes in God. That's all. Nothing more or less, ever.

And if you read all of this this evening, you are approximately 4 in 6,913,911,736 people. You are special!

J-20 Chengdu

First good photo of the Chinese J-20 stealth bomber reverse engineered from a US F-117 downed in Serbia in 1999. Some try to compare it with the US F-22 or Russian TU-50. But the big J-20 is a fighter/bomber  compared with the smaller US and Russian fighters.

US is a Lousy Credit Risk

S&P says the US is a lousy credit risk, in fact a negative risk, and the whole system is a ponzi scheme that will collapse because all american politicians are bought and paid for by the global elites that are stealing the middle class blind. Or something like that.

Congress Will Raise Debt Ceiling...Indeed

Congress will raise US debt ceiling. Of course they will, they have no choice. How high? It doesn't matter any more. Without economic growth and if interest rates rise above 0.0% the current debt will overwhelm the country. The only way out is dramatic spending cuts, like all entitlements. Does anyone think THAT is going to happen? All social security checks, Medicare payments, Medicaid payments and unemployment checks are stopped...forever. What would that look like in 2011 America? There would be homeless, starving and dead old people, disabled people and children within weeks. Would americans be Ok with THAT?

Nope. The US will be on the hook for about $75T when the Mexicans take over North Mexico in 2050.

One Shock Away from a Full Blown Crisis

The world is "one shock away from a full blown crisis" according to the World Bank president.

"It's probably too much to say that it's a jobless recovery, but it's certainly a recovery with not enough jobs," he said. "Especially because of youth unemployment... there is now a risk that this will be turned into a life sentence, and that there is a possibility of a lost generation."

Only one lost generation? It seems like many boomers lost careers and retirement AND youth has lost future careers and opportunities for middle class lifestyles. More like two generations AND perhaps, Western Civilization to boot.

The US may fail and cease to exist as a Western democracy once it's economic lifeblood is sucked dry and the Latinos take control in 2050. There is absolutely no history of South, Central or North American Latinos creating wealthy democracies even remotely like the US. Which civilizational model leads going forward? Communist China?

Fukushima Hell Part 18

Fukushima reactors 1, 2 and 3 fuel rods are melted and lying in the bottom of the vessels. Only the emergency water being poured on the pieces are keeping the mess from melting through the bottom of the vessels. Officials believe it will be 9 months until they can even stabilize the units.

Saudis Decrease Oil Production

The Saudis announced today that the oil market is oversupplied therefore they are cutting production by 500,000 barrels per day. The US government and oil company stories about tight supplies and trouble in MENA are complete bullshit. The reason for high gasoline prices in the US is the devalued dollar created by the Obama regime and his buddies over at the Federal Reserve.

Remember, the regime says that inflation is not a problem and even Obama says if you don't like gasoline prices, then go buy a new car. If you can't afford a new car, well, just suffer. He doesn't care, he rides around in a limo on the taxpayer's dime.

This is just another way for the Saudis to tell Obama and americans to fuck off. The US encouraged the fall of Abdullah's friend Mubarack, caused trouble in Bahrain and didn't finish off Qaddaffi. The Saudis won't help the US, as they had in the past. This time they'll twist the knife stuck in american's back.

Don't like a 33% increase in gasoline costs? Then walk proles.

Taxes and Virtue

Yesterday I finished up tax calculation and one-time-payment for this year. Of course that's not really true because of bi-weekly deduction, sales taxes and other taxes that I pay as I go all year long. But I did some rough calculation of my total annual tax bill and found that roughly 23% of my income is paid to the government.

Less than half of the people in this country work and only half of those pay federal taxes. So, three quarters of the the population mooch off of the one quarter of us who work and pay taxes. Nice. Thank God that I feel the love and gratitude of the moochers.

Now, of course, I shouldn't refer to retirees, children and the disabled as "moochers". The retirees mostly earned their entitlements, children will have an opportunity to either become a payer or moocher and many disabled are so through no fault of their own. But there is a good chunk of the population with their hand in my pocket that can rightfully be called a moocher.

Am I virtuous or a fool for being a lifelong member of the 25% that pay their way in this country? I really don't know anymore. And it depends on the day. For most of my 42 year work life I've felt virtuous, lately not so much. If I survive and can work for another 5 years, I'll join the moochers. It's the american way!

I've estimated that 31% of the taxes that I've paid are sales and excise taxes. I'd venture a guess that even the moochers pay some of these taxes using the money that they get from me. So no one escapes the government's all encompassing grasp. Even after I retire, I'll still pay as a moocher.

Since this piece isn't about gun bans, Lara Logan groping or my patriotic, Tea Party pride no one will ever read it. But I thought it and wrote it. That's more than most of the population of the future North Mexico can manage.

Through the Motions

I'm going through the motions of life these days. No dreams, no hopes just obligations until I wrap this farce up. Mostly I get up in the morning, deal with whatever is thrown at me then go to sleep yet again. I know things but no one wants to know anymore.

This week at work I was summoned to a ISO-9000 pre-certification organization meeting with several directors. I know this stuff well, having previously gone through a certification process as well as maintaining the ISO processes in decades of manufacturing processes. I explained the systematic deficiencies in my area of responsibility and made recommendations going forward.
The 40 year old MBA directors advised me to "quit looking in the rear view mirror and be optimistic". How absurd! How do you know how to move forward if you disregard where you've been? Ignorance and arrogance on display by the educated. So typical in this country today. No wonder nothing works anymore.

Later, when alone with my 40 year old director, I told him I was sick of being ignored and lectured by arrogant 40 year olds. I told him that I was 60 years old, experienced, intelligent and not willing to be insulted by kids. I suggested that they listen to my experience, that they were paying for, lest they stumble around continuing to make mistakes that lead to business failure.
He said he agreed and asked me to put aside the insults to make the project succeed. Of course I will because of personal pride, but not for any sense of loyalty to these directors or the company. It's all about me doing the right thing because I care, not because of any sense of us. There is no us anymore in this country.

Last week at a company meeting the CEO asked us to have pride and passion for the company and it's product. He didn't understand that this could only be possible if there was a we that believed that it was our company. Not a company where directors won't listen to and lecture the hired help.

That's typical of everything in this country today, government, companies, families even the culture. Every aspect of our lives is demanded without any input based upon our experience. So we live our meaningless, dreamless, hopeless lives...just going through the motions...living life vicariously through TV shows and celebrities lives.

I've always wanted to know things. That is what I've been seeking my whole life. I'm inspired by those who know or those who want to know. But they are few and far between. So I go through the motions, work, pay bills, fix stuff and wait to blast into pure knowledge when it's done.

Project Gunrunner

Is the Obama regime using the ATF Project Gunrunner to take away 2nd Amendment rights? It sure seems like the ATF was intentionally pushing gun dealers to sell guns that would eventually end up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Why? So the Congress would ban gun sales to americans.

The sonofabitches in this regime are goddamned Stalin communists that want total power without recourse over americans. It's time to disband this nanny-state totalitarian state bureau that murders lawful americans.

Buck Guards Goose Nest

After a nesting goose lost her gander a buck guards her nest. Just more evidence of God and proves that animals are generally better than humans.

Friday Stuff

Gasoline prices and lack of parts from Japan may push the US deeper into the Depression as the year wears on. With gas prices at $4.00 per gallon, and still rising, people will cut back on spending AND everything that is bought and sold becomes more expensive due to transportation costs. The now shuttered but vast Japanese supply chain will slow down US manufacturing.
_________________________________________________
The US house passed the ten year, $6T spending cut bill, whose principle virtue is that it requires those younger than 55 to take health care vouchers in lieu of Medicare. Additionally, Medicaid and food stamps will become limited block grants for states who will have to make cuts to stay within their budgets (or not and speed into bankruptcy).

I don't think $600B per year will address the current $1.5T deficits, let alone the coming, staggering deficits as Treasury notes roll over as interest rates rise. The CON JOB is sweet for US plutocrats but it will mean permanent Depression for residents of North Mexico.
_________________________________________________
The property tax bill I've been waiting for arrived today. My rate went up 14% to pay GM's tax share that they refused to pay. Think I'll buy anything from GM or recommend their junk? As a matter of fact, I think we should not pave the road in front of their soon-to-close plant or provide fire protection.

GM is a zombie walking about thinking it is alive. It's dead and needs to be buried. Steering wheels fall off cars and even the Volt might burn your house down. And it's not Drudge's fault for reporting the news. GM management and the UAW are fools and idiots.
_________________________________________________
 I started writing this blog principally about foreign policy related matters after 911. Back then, there actually was a US foreign policy. That's all gone under the Marxist-Democrat junta. Actually, US foreign policy has become UN foreign policy, which is, simply put, consolidate power for elites to loot the world.

I don't expect this to change even if the Marxist-Democrats are removed in 2012. History has direction and momentum over time, regardless or either parties or people in power. The days of great and principled nation-states are gone. We live in the new global-feudal world that siphons wealth from powerless global peasants.

My musings reflect the times, hence are mostly related to sad trivia.

HR308 High Capacity Magazine Ban

Another New York communist wants to ban high capacity magazines for civilian use. Carolyn McCarthy (D)NY has sponsored HR308 as a first step to strip americans of their 2nd amendment Constitutional rights leading to the Sovietization of North Mexico (formerly known as the US).

The bill would ban the sale of any magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds. Carol thinks that this legislation will make her safe from gun crimes, when the truth is that criminals don't care about laws. This legislation will only strip law abiding citizens of Constitutional rights.

Better buy some HC mags before only the Mexican drug cartels own them (courtesy of US ATF).

BRIC Demands

BRIC countries demand an end to the dollar reserve currency. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa want US wealth now. They don't want to wait until 2050 when Mexicans run the US. The G7 nations, especially the US, has demonstrated utter incompetence in global financial leadership. The US needs to slink away and quietly become North Mexico.

All of my salary comes from a Russian employer and customers, servicing Chinese PhDs doing research in america. The US sat me on the curb like a bag of garbage. Russians offered me work. Who should I respect? Russians, Chinese or americans?

I'm sick of 40 years of lies, theft and bullshit from americans. The fake equality and opportunity, the bullshit of unity. The only thing that americans care about is themselves, their notoriety and personal affluence. Americans would fuck their mothers, children and dog for a nickel. Why should the rest of the world listen to this crap anymore?

Are the BRIC nations paragons of virtue? No. But they don't claim to be either. At least they don't lie to their subjects about virtue, equality, opportunity et al.

I'm disgusted by the US and most of the population. Now go eat a bean burrito.

California Fruits and Nuts

What the fuck is "Gay History" as taught in California public schools? Will students learn when a queer first bent over or munched carpet? I don't get it. I keep saying that I don't care what queers do in private. I just don't want to know about it. In fact, I don't want to know what anyone does when they get all juicy and need to squirt or dribble. There is no reason on earth why children ought to be taught about sex, and especially queer sex, at a public school. Fucking perverts!

US Hemorrhaging To Death

The US is hemorrhaging to death as an extra $69.3B a year flows out as oil flows in thanks to the Federal Reserve's QE2 program. The sinking value of the dollar is responsible for most of the increase. Once this money goes into Saudi, Nigerian, Mexican, Venezuelan and other hands, it never comes back. It goes to China and elsewhere for consumer goods.

Meanwhile unemployment is up despite the BLS lies about the "improving economy". Another day, another lie from this despicable government.

BRIC Rising

The BRIC nations are moving on without the US and Western Europe. Why not? It's the future. I work for a Russian keeping R&D equipment running for Chinese in the heartland of the US. All of the technology is Asian and our cleantech customers are Russian and Chinese. The US don't do cleantech. Interesting!

Paul Ryan Medicare Proposal

Paul Ryan's Medicare spending cuts proposal:

• Eligibility for the existing Medicare program would not change for people who are age 55 or older by the end of 2011.
• People who turn 65 in 2022 or later years would get payments from the government to help them purchase private insurance.
• The payments would be higher for low-income people and lower for high-income people: people in the top 2 percent of the income distribution of the Medicare-eligible population would receive less than one-third of the subsidy which middle- and lower-income people would get.
• The payments for insurance would grow over time in pace with overall consumer prices, but not necessarily in pace with the increase in the cost of medical care.
• Starting in 2022, the age of eligibility for Medicare would gradually increase until it reached 67 in 2033.
• The federal government would change the Medicaid program for poor people into block grants to each state. Those grants would grow over time in pace with overall consumer prices and population growth.
• There would be no tax increases.

Well, wife and I would survive this change (if there is even a government or US in 248 weeks). But it can't pass in the progressive US.

Defense Budget Cuts

The Pentagon warned Obama against further defense cuts after he proposed cutting $400B over the next 10 years. That's $40B per year from a $649B defense budget or 6% per year. Why cut so little so late?

What is the US military defending against? Taliban in Afghanistan, Qaddafi in Libya, Iranians in Iran, North Koreans in South Korea? Russians, Cubans, Chinese, Venezuelans? Does anyone believe that any of these people are going to invade the US? How is borrowing $649B per year defending the US?

The US military has not won a war since 1945, not because our military is bad but because the american people don't want to do what it takes to defeat an enemy. This has only gotten worse every year until now the US military cannot defeat cave men in Afghanistan. So why are we paying for a military that can't win anywhere?

Did the US military defend the WTC or Pentagon in 2001? Does the US military defend the border with Mexico from invasion? Who does the US military defend these days? Iraqis? Saudi oil shipments to China? Who? Not me.

The US is beyond the need AND the cost of a $649B per year military that protects foreigners and their stuff. The US has no desire to win any war or even force it's will any longer in the world. Why have aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines when there are no circumstances in which you would use them to kill enemies?

This is the enemy that america is fighting. Six year old white girls must be groped by black TSA thugs. Because of their frequent terror attacks against america? No. Because we won't even dare offend Muslims, let alone kill them by the millions in their warrens. So we employ blacks to grope our white children for "fairness".

So why is the US spending $649B for a military that protects a government that gropes little girls crotches, allows Mexicans to invade the country, won't defeat any enemy and crushes the middle class with unemployment and economic destruction?

Why cut the military budget so little and so late? Withdraw all troops from every foreign country, take the ships out of the sea lanes and let foreigners protect themselves (at their own cost). Pare the military size down to defend US borders and cut the defense budget down to actual US defense. Form should follow function.

This chart says it all. Entitlements and interest are already equal to receipts. Interest will only grow in a economy where receipts only fall. Defense and discretionary spending must end if there is any hope of balancing a budget. And of course, there isn't. Budget cuts? Getthefuckouttahere!

Mexicans will own and run the bankrupt, former US in 39 years. Why defend it?

Law of the Rights of Mother Earth

The communist state of Bolivia, under dictator Evo Morales, has ushered in a new standard for the human race; Law of the Rights of Mother Earth.

The Bolivarian communists want to propose rights for the earth at the UN, that ranks all life as equal. So, therefore, rats and cockroaches would have the same rights as humans.

Of course, only egalitarian communism can ensure that this noble endeavor is achieved and maintained. The proof is in the excellent environmental records of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

Racing Towards the Abyss

The IMF says that the US lacks a "credible strategy" to deal with it's debt and poses a risk to the global economy. The alleged $38B in cuts passed by Congress last were mostly tricks. The deficit is up 16% in 2011, heading for a total of $1.6T!

Listening to the politicians, it sounds like they're going to cut the 2012 deficit. In order to make any significant cuts they will have to eliminate entitlements such as social security, medicare and medicaid. Cutting the entire defense budget and discretionary spending wouldn't dent the deficit. Think politicians are going to cut entitlements in an election year? 

Obama wants to eliminate the Bush tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 per year. I used to argue against class warfare, but I don't care anymore.We're in a zero sum game now as we race towards the abyss. I want to know that the middle class is following me over the edge.

Inflation is roaring along at 10%, by earlier standards, or 5.5% by non-government measures or 3% by BLS standards. I haven't had a raise since I started a job at 33% less than I was making in a previous job. And I won't see a raise this year either. The Federal Reserve's QE2 inflation is making me poorer every day.

Little Miss

Sugarland. Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. Sometimes I love their music and others, I hate it. But they're latest song, Little Miss, is both a wonderfully written and performed song. Jennifer's vocals are outstanding, especially the bridge and the intensity of her stage presence is both real and compelling. The percussion is almost a lead and makes the song. And it's a live performance, that says a lot about the talent of these musicians. Enjoy!

April 10 Musings

The federal government borrowed $54B last week! If they borrow at that rate for a year then the annual deficit will be $2.81T. And we're told the budget deal worked out Friday sets the debt limit at $1.05T? Um, right.

Here at the bruig, we'll get our 2011 property tax bill this week. GM reduced their equipment value from $175M to $7M, reducing their tax bill from $4.9M to $233,000! City and county property owners get to pick up the difference.

I would like to personally thank GM owners, who are the US government, the UAW and the new stockholders, and Delphi owners who have lied on their tax self-assessment to fuck the residents of the city and county. The scrap value of the equipment is greater than $7M,the copper alone is worth more than that. So GM and it's owners are a pack of goddamned liars that belong in prison for a decade.

In the end, GM value here in Bruig County will be zero, so in some sick way, this will help the city and county reduce spending to meet the coming reality. The GM plant will be closed soon, ending a 75 year relationship between GM and the city.

Reuters thinks a war is brewing in the US between baby boomers and youth. As the american pie shrinks there will be winners and losers. Youth will lose, not because their parents and grandparents wish it to be so, but because the leadership have decided it will be so. My grandsons will likely be peons in the Mexico that america will become.
_____________________________________________________
I'll pay my tax bill this week but it won't be much for the government. Oh, it's a lot for me. But since the leadership of this country have decided I'm not worth much, my tax bill has declined 61%. Yep, when you leave the middle class you don't pay much at all. And I'll be paying in deflated Chairsatan Bernanke dollars that are worth 14% less than last April.

Consumer economy? All I buy is food and gasoline. I don't buy even one goddamned thing else. No clothes, no electronics, no cute little things for the yard, nothing. I don't use credit. I don't even look at ads. I'm poor but responsible. I wear my old, unfashionable clothes, sit in my old, well-worn furniture and throw out my broken yard cuties. My shack is solid but unpretty. I don't care anymore.

Bring It

Looking good! Dollar down to 74 cents, oil at $113, gas at $3.85. Politicians settled on $40B in cuts, a 4% cut that will produce at $1T deficit.

Sluts for choice? Yeah. That's what america needs to concentrate on now. Diseased pigs need love too! 

The Saudis are done with Obama and the US. They told Gates and Clinton to go away then went to talk with the Pakis and Chinese. This is huge. The Saudis aren't going to help us keep oil prices down by increasing supply. Forget $140/bbl oil. We may see $175/bbl oil with gas prices around $6/gal in the near future. That'll deepen the Depression.

Ever wonder what it was like to live in the Weimar Republic? You're gonna find out. Who is the coming Fuhrer, where is america's lebensraum and who will play the role of sacrificial Jews? You know it's coming. Right?

I'm a reactionary now. Bring it.

Obama Gun Ban Post Rocks

My Obama Gun Ban post is still getting multiple daily hits after 8 months. People from around the world are interested what guns the dictator wants to ban. And others just love the Garand.

Let Go and Let God

I'm just along for the ride. No one cares what I know or think or have done or can do. I'm just an observer.

Oh, I did the right things for a couple decades; worked hard, studied, saved, raised kids, participated in the community, tried to do the right thing. But I was never in control. Events were far more powerful than my puny efforts. I was a miserable failure before I even started. Doomed at birth.

Now the die is cast for me and the world. It's all coming apart quickly now. Like the Titanic. Just read the news. Utter insanity at every level. Continuous change with no hope for any hope. Hell is arriving here on earth.

I'm blameless. I never could have changed anything, ever. No one ever heard a word that I uttered. I am, and have always been mute.

So I watch the coming collapse. I'll fearlessly watch it all come apart. I can't protect myself or anyone else from what's coming. I can't even be sad about it anymore. It just is. And I have Let Go and Let God.

Getting Creative About US Debt

The US debt ceiling must be raised before July 8 or the US government will default, triggering a collapse of the dollar, the US economy and finally the US itself. Some fairly interesting ideas are being floated:

"Some lawmakers have called for legislation to force the Treasury to first pay interest on U.S. bonds before other obligations, such as unemployment benefits and Social Security and Medicare payments, as a way to stave off a debt default."

OR

"They have also asked Treasury whether financial assets such as the country's gold reserves or the government's portfolio of student loans could be sold to avoid raising the debt ceiling."

 C'mon guys! You have to get more creative than that.

How about rounding up all attractive women under age 30 and selling them to the Chinese and Arabs? The Chinese need women. And rich oil sheiks love harems.

We could sell all of our children as slaves in foreign nations. Imagine the novelty of having an American child to kick around, rape, starve and so-forth.

How about making snuff films of killing our parents and grandparents and selling them abroad? Make them personal, say Tony smothers his old dad with a US flag then beats his mom to death with a bible. That would sell!

Why not lease the US military? Dictators would pay top dollar for carriers, pilots and experienced ground troops. If we played it right we could lease to, say, North and South Korea. Our guys could fight each other like Roman legions and we could make money from both sides.

If things got really bad, we could sell all of our women as slaves and become the world's first Queer State. We could even offer Queer Tourism, where, say, the Taliban could come for some fudgepacking R&R.

Americans have always been creative, we just need to think outside the box to beat this bankruptcy thingie.

US Financial Destruction

The federal government took in $128B in March but spent $1T, borrowing $780B and drawing down cash by $70B. Even Democrat Erskine Bowles said "This debt and these deficits that we are incurring on an annual basis are like a cancer and they are truly going to destroy this country from within....".

Wrong tense Erskine, the country is already financially destroyed and there is nothing that can be done to save it. Unless, of course, you're ready to kill every single person on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, end Earned Income Credits for bastards, dismantle every federal agency except the DOD (which will have to have it's budget cut by 75%). Then force the survivors to work for their college educated minimum wage job selling Chinese crap to each other for a decade while paying a 50% tax rate. They can walk, sit in the dark and cold shack, eat gruel and die of common colds.

That might dig the US out of the $14.5T pile of debt it has accumulated. But probably not.

Fukushima Hell Part 17

Newly released TEPCO data provides evidence of periodic chain reaction at Fukushima Unit 1 from Fairewinds Associates on Vimeo.

Fukushima reactor 1 exhibits more evidence that is occasionally resuming fission on it's own and emitting neutron beams. 

VDH: Kingdom of Lies... Indeed

It took Hanson a little longer to get there, but he's joined me now.

I am a subject in a kingdom of lies. At 57, I have grown up with decades of untruth — advanced for the purposes of purported social unity, the noble aim of egalitarianism, and the advancement of a cognitive elite in government, journalism, the arts, and the universities.

In this kingdom of lies, this Oceania of the mind, I, a subject of the monarchy of untruth, navigate carefully, assuming what I read and see is simply not true — and cannot be said to be untrue. 

Sad but true kid.

Muslim Double Standards

Muslims are rioting and murdering in Afghanistan over the Quran burning by a US pastor. At least two UN aid workers were beheaded by outraged Afghanis.

Karzai on March 24 condemned the act as "a crime against the religion and the entire Muslim nation," called on the U.S. and the U.N. to bring the perpetrators to justice and demanded "a satisfactory response to the resentment and anger of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world."

Crime against the "Muslim nation"? Like the crimes against the Christian nation on 911? And Hindi nation? And Muslim crimes against humanity, including against Muslims?

Bring the perpetrators to justice? Like we asked Muslims to do after Muslims murdered 3000 Americans? Where is Osama Bin Laden Karzai?

Satisfactory response to Muslim resentment and anger? How about "kiss my ass 1.5 billion Muslims"?

Muslims believe that they are superior to everyone else and apply double standards in every case. But Muslims are superior to no one and in many ways are inferior. Shut up Karzai!

Fukushima Hell Part 16

An 8 inch crack in a maintenance pit wall under the Fukushima reactor 2 spews radiation into the Pacific. Not to worry though, no danger to ocean life or people. Workers are trying to seal the hole today. Officials say it will be months until the plant can be stabilized and years until it is secured.

Welcome to the new Feudal World

The local newspaper headline reads "17,000 county residents have low food security". In other words, 21% of the county population doesn't make enough money to routinely eat. They also say that these folks fall through the cracks of welfare systems because they make more than poverty guidelines. So in reality, the poverty rate in the county is 40%!

Spengler has written that the real cause for the revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is not freedom but food security. As food prices have doubled in the past year, many people in MENA cannot afford to routinely eat any longer. East Asian wealth has bid up food costs beyond the ability of MENA economies to participate.

So the problem is not insufficient food production for 6.9 billion people on the planet, but insufficient work opportunities to earn income to buy food. And stunningly that problem exists in MENA and the US!

Now Spengler and US experts all say that education is the key to turning this lack of opportunity to create wealth around. Maybe it is for some individuals but I don't think education solves enough of this problem for enough people to make a difference. Why? Because once these educated people start creating wealth, they will hoard the wealth to themselves just as they do in Libya and the US today.

Surplus labor is the problem in MENA and the US. Surplus' always drive prices down and they have the same effect on income potential. The Plague is what broke the feudal system and opened an opportunity for a European middle class. The need for labor created the middle class in the industrialized West. Without a need for labor, opportunity and income plummets and people starve.

Communists think we can share the wealth. But that is contrary to human nature as proven in every failed communist state. The wealth just changes hands as the leaders hoard wealth and kill off excess labor. Capitalists think we can maintain those without opportunity at subsistence levels while they hoard wealth. That philosophy is being tested and failing miserably now.

The world is gravitating back towards the feudal model even as revolutions break out in feudal societies. The elites will hoard wealth as they drive more and more peoples into serfdom. People will rebel and die. But the elites will maintain power and wealth.

We would be better off in the US, and the world, if our elites just murdered the poor, elderly and unemployed instead of just laying them off or refusing to hire them. Just slit the throats of people who apply for welfare or unemployment. Expose the babies of mother's who can't pay for birthing. Smother retirees once they no longer create wealth. It would be far less cruel and eliminate suffering.

The New Normal created by the global elites only needs a global population of 4.1 billion. In the US, only 187 million people are needed. The elites should just murder the rest, end their suffering quickly and move on with their lives of wealth and power creation. Do it formally rather than the Obama fake responsibility to protect (R2P) that we see in Libya today or Obamacare in the US tomorrow.

Welcome to the new Feudal World.

Safety Bonuses for Transocean Executives

Transocean handed out safety bonuses to top executives after Deepwater Horizon exploded last year, killing 11 people, including employees. Great safety performance year indeed. Only peons were blown apart, no loss to anyone of any importance. No moral issues here at all.

Michele Bachmann for President in2012

I like Michele Bachmann as a 2012 candidate for president. I like her position on the important issues, her character, her solid communication skills and her Washington outsider status. Right now, she'd be my choice as the Republican candidate in 2012.

I like Sarah Palin too but I'm troubled by the media image that she's been pursuing. Huckbee, Romney, Paul are no-starters for me. All are too connected to the DC crowd.

Michele has been sending excellent emails on the issue for the past year. I'm impressed by her seriousness and knowledge of the issues. Her no nonsense positions are clearly stated and suggest that she cares and understands how ordinary folk think about them.

Slimming

Drunk by tampon? German teenage girls soak their tampon in vodka, insert and enjoy the buzz without the smell of booze on their breath. Otherwise known as slimming. The alcohol uptake is fast but alcohol is a drying agent for mucous membranes. Which kills the good bacteria that protects and....well...could cause persistent vaginosis.

Delphi, GM and the US Government Screw Pensioners Again

Delphi buys back GM and PBGC held stakes for $4.39B to clear the way for Delphi to go public. PBGC got $594M in the deal and will re-calculate Delphi salaried pension benefits nominally worth $6.1B. Delphi and GM claimed that they had underfunded GM/Delphi pension benefits by $7B, creating the second largest pension turnover in PBGC history.

Bankster JPMorgan will make money on both sides of the deal as the manager of PBGC Delphi stake and as the lender of $2.5B to Delphi to get the money to pay GM and PBGC.

Nothing immoral here from GM/Delphi screwing their salaried retirees, taxpayers and stockholders. Nor from JPMorgan, GM and Delphi getting government bailouts. Bonuses for all the global elites as they fuck the guys who did the work. GM plans to use some of the receipts to fund UAW full pensions that were not reduced 30-70% like salary pensions.

So Delphi, GM and the US government fuck me and 70,000 other Delphi/GM salary pensioners. Equality? Fuck that! Eat shit and die Lugh.

Get a Dog

I don't like many people and it gets worse every day. Only maybe one in a thousand people command my minimal respect or fellowship. Oh, I'm polite with most people in casual contact but given an opportunity most people will give Good Reason to despise them. The more you know about people the worse it gets so I prefer minimal, casual contact for my own spiritual health.

As a child and teenager I gave most everyone the benefit of the doubt. I trusted often and accepted harm to myself as an accident. Surely people would never intentionally harm others! That would just be wrong. But as I grew older I kept seeing signs that led me to believe that many people didn't share my sense of Goodwill to my fellow man. But I held on to my naive beliefs.

My eighteenth summer I witnessed some human behavior that shocked me and caused me to re-evaluate my thoughts and beliefs about human nature. Gang rape, bullying, beatings, theft, lies and verbal abuse by high and low, friends and acquaintances, judges and pimps. I decided I would neither participate nor allow myself to be abused by anyone. I withdrew from society and erected defenses. And I've lived that way for more than 40 years.

I just don't let people get close to me without a long and deep vetting process. Most people describe me as standoffish. Most of my interactions with people are as a skilled technician in pursuit of a very specific goal. I don't want to know people except with regards to how it relates to a very specific task at hand. This approach helps protect me from universal human toxicity.

I've only allowed less than a dozen non family members inside my defensive perimeter over the last four decades. This practice has served me well. Mostly people can accept my technical support or leave me alone. No one needs to like me. Those who try to get close to me (for good or evil) can either love me or fear me. I don't care. I am a loyal friend but a terrible enemy.

I care about "people" as much as they care about me. Which is mostly not at all. Mostly people are stupid, self-centered demons who would cut their own mother's throat for a penny or just momentary notoriety. It gets worse every day. Wild beasts are more decent than most humans.

So as I live my life and comment here, I'm only surprised by the depth of human toxicity, not the fact that it exists. I don't expect the human condition to improve, only move to other aspects of depravity. That pretty, smiling face looking innocently at you usually hides a black heart that would crush you for a trifle. Want a friend for life? Get a dog!

Religion of Piece News

Afghani cavemen overran a UN compound, murdereded staff, even beheading two workers Friday after prayer services in Mazar-i-Sharif. Yeah the same Noble Shrine where Afghani cavemen gang raped boys and slaughtered captives. And the place where the first US casualty of the 2001 Afghan war, Johnny Michael Spann, was mutilated and killed by goddamned dope pushers and fudgepackers for allah-satan.

Watch the video. Even recently trained Afghani police celebrated the murders and beheading, firing their guns in the air. I guess this "nation building" is going good in the Afghan Republic of Cavemen.

We ought to be killing every fucking person in the country before moving on to Pakistan for more of the same.

Religion of Piece!

Hello

24 year old Liz Taylor shows the merchandise. An often purchased, expensive piece of well used meat here on display now that it rots in the ground.

Gibberish Attacks

You know I would have dismissed the allegation of Government Microwave Mind Control Attacks even a few months ago. But now? I just don't know. This week Judge Judy went nuts on her show.We have no video of the judge but we have this on air event:



Three different on air "gibberish" events in just a few weeks? Something odd is going on. Military? Not so much. More like the escalating war between God and Satan as energy is divided into light and dark.

Speaking of gibberish, how about Planned Parenthood's newly released Healthy, Happy and Hot guide to sex for HIV-infected youths. These ass maggots claim that HIV disclosure laws violate the "rights" of people living with HIV! Knowingly spreading disease is A-OK to these evil bastards.

So, spreading fatal disease, child murder, lying every time you open your mouth, plundering people by ruining economies is the New Normal for Satan's minions. The pattern is clear.

New Computer Scam Afoot

Watch out for fake computer virus warnings while surfing the web. I've been hit twice recently but was savvy enough to know it was a scam. Even if you don't load anything you may have to do some cleanup. The software can disable your browsers and anti-virus software. MalwareBytes can clean it up with the help of a patch.

Tip:
If a link redirects you somewhere else, go Back then try it again. The internet is full of human evil and it gets worse each and every day.

Government: Nation and Lies

Twice as many people work for government than manufacturing,farming, trades, etc. Who's going to pay for all that government going forward? Manufacturing pay has fallen 33% since 2008. Maybe we could afford it then but no more. Something's got to give.

BLS says 180k new jobs were created in March and unemployment dropped to 8.8%. Gallup says 10% unemployment and 19.3% underemployment. The US guvmint is lying...again.

It looks like 8 million jobs are gone...forever.

Knut's End

Knut died of drowning after convulsions caused him to fall into the water.

"Pathologist Claudia Szentiks said a necropsy of the four-year-old bear who died suddenly two weeks ago showed he was suffering from encephalitis, an irritation and swelling of the brain that was likely brought on by an infection. She added that even if Knut had not drowned after his collapse, he would not have survived the damage from the encephalitis."

His tumble and scream were striking. He seemed to know Something was attacking him and he tried to fight It in his degraded, clumsy manner. An honorable end to a life in captivity.

Wonder Dog

A dog was found floating on a house roof in the Pacific near the tsunami site 3 weeks after the earthquake!

Fukushima Hell Part 15

Best analysis of Fukushima status that I've seen. Well worth a read if you're interested. Nothing stabilized yet and no serious resources on site.
