TARP II stimulus went to the big banks, auto firms and insurance firms. Main street America and small business was not in the equation. This was to be single biggest trickle down investment in the country history. Money is like honey. It don't trickle.
How many times & by how many Democrats have railed about how trickle down never works?
Today Obama's FED is talking more stimulus. That is the were. That is the work of the Obama administration. Investing in firms to big to fail. Wall Street goes giddy over the idea of a massive government stimulus. The broker can sell the speculation of which firm is getting a government bailout to stockholders and ring up a stock trade. But money is honey. But no trickle remember?
Yahoo reported enough stimulus to have paid for all the houses foreclosed on by the banks after the 2nd round. The banks continued to foreclose and crushed the greatest housing market ever in history. Yet the Fed's Burnacake (LOL) said giivng "US the people that money would not work. "WE" would have the houses paid off, thus the banks got the money anyway. "WE" would have paid off our credit cards, again the banks got the money. As to the car companies, "WE" would have gone and bought new cars, the car companies got the money just the same. PLEASE EXPLAIN how this doesn't work to me!!!!!
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. -- Steve Jobs, US computer engineer & industrialist (1955 - 2011)
We are the crank nut jobs to think "WE" should be in charge of "OUR" lives having the moral courage to claim responsibility for us and our actions. Guys like are the "FEW!"
"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." -- Robert F. Kennedy 1966 Speech
If you had done your research, and the other guy has as well, you would know it is not just gold being proposed today. Just therm Gold Standard used as a label for whats coming. ALL the assets of a country will used, oil, natural gas, gold, silver, diamonds, minerals, agriculture, manufacturing bases, maybe even real estate if they are smart enough to do that one. All these put together set the wealth of a country, and so set the value of the money there.
We have robot surgeons right now! The next generation of robots will build robots and repair them, so build and service is done and awaiting the factory floor right now. Robots pick out and delivery goods and materials from the warehouse also. Robots have already replaced many lab techs, the rest will be far to soon. Sooner than you may think "WE" will be only to be the artists, inventors, scientists, researchers, and writers. With so many humans there are only so many of these that can used at any time. What do the rest of us do?

If you want to see those competitive salaries and benefits come back, we need to get those companies flourishing so that they, once again, need to compete for YOUR skills.
Today anything you have for a skill a robot can do faster, cheaper, and with higher quality. Once the robot is set up right all the goods are all made exactly the same. Robot work far less per hour, never complain, don't have vacation time, don't take off for holidays, never sleep or eat, and don't need rest. They also don't need any retirement fund set up for later. They are simply recycled into new better faster robots. Ever see an old black and white movie with 100 secretaries typing away? Computers do that now, and they are much faster. With the next generation of robots there will be no more factory jobs.
OMG! What a GREAT place for robots to work!! We don't have to pay them, no health care, no pensions, they don't need to steal, don't care about making or having money. They don't complain, don't lie, don't cheat, don't need rest, don't need planes or helicopters. And they are great at cleaning up scum!!
One of the very first things I discovered when I began researching the NWO, some 4 ½ years ago, was what I call ‘way stations’. These are places that, at first glance, look like nothing out of the ordinary, but upon closer inspection, are revealed to be something far more insidious than one would suspect. They can be found anywhere, and as anyone knows, the best place to hide something is in plain sight, where it can be seen by anyone, but not necessarily recognized for what it actually is.
I came across this information quite by accident while searching the internet one day for some photos of giants that a friend of mine had downloaded. I hadn’t asked him the name of the website he got them from, so I simply Googled the word ‘giants’, hoping to get lucky. It was by far either the luckiest or smartest thing I’ve ever done, as it took me to a site called “Return of the Nephilim”, which not only had the same pictures my friend had downloaded, but it also had many different articles about something I had always considered to be a myth at best – the Illuminati.
Being of a curious nature, I was immediately intrigued by what I saw. The more I read, the more I thought to myself “This can’t be true, how could they possibly keep this kind of information secret from the rest of the world?” Little did I know that the strength of the NWO lies in that very secrecy. Without it, they could no longer effectively function.
Then I found an article about FEMA camps, complete with photos. My interest at this point evolved from intrigue to downright fear. One of the links provided by this article listed three different locations of these ‘way stations’, all within easy driving range of where I live, not actual FEMA camps, but more in the nature of holding facilities.
I then thought, “This is something concrete, something that can easily be proven or disproven.
First stop: the San Fernando Valley Water District, being that it is not only the closest, but also the furthest west. It is located just about where the 405 & 5 freeways converge.
I drove up into the parking lot of the Odyssey Restaurant and took some shots. It was just as the article had claimed. The water district is surrounded by a chain link fence, topped with triple strand barbed wire. The only problem was, the barbed wire was facing the WRONG DIRECTION!
When you want to keep someone OUT of an area, barbed wire is ALWAYS facing OUTWARD. When you want to keep them in, as with prisons, the barbed wire ( usually with razor wire added in prisons ) is ALWAYS facing inward. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.
I then drove down to Blucher Ave., where the maintenance facility was located. Sure enough, where they kept the trucks and equipment, the barbed wire was facing outward, as it should have been, TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT! This was right across the street from the fence with the barbed wire facing INWARD! ( NOT to keep people out, but IN, obviously ). One other thing mentioned in the article was railway access, which this location has. This is for the boxcars that government ordered from an Oregon company which were sent to another OR company, which then outfitted them with 142 sets of shackles inside, if memory serves me. ( Don’t quote me on the exact number, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this information ).
I then drove to Glendale, to Brand Park. I wasn’t able to get the shots I would have liked, because there was a cop walking his K-9 on the baseball field where I took the photos, and I avoid those people like the plague. As one can clearly see, the barbed wire is once again facing inward.
NY Times – A new wave of robots, far more adept than those now commonly used by automakers and other heavy manufacturers, are replacing workers around the world in both manufacturing and distribution. Factories like the one here in the Netherlands are a striking counterpoint to those used by Apple and other consumer electronics giants, which employ hundreds of thousands of low-skilled workers. The dutch factory here has several dozen workers per shift, about a tenth as many as the plant in the Chinese city of Zhuhai.
At an automation trade show last year in Chicago, Ron Potter, the director of robotics technology at an Atlanta consulting firm called Factory Automation Systems, offered attendees a spreadsheet to calculate how quickly robots would pay for themselves.
In one example, a robotic manufacturing system initially cost $250,000 and replaced two machine operators, each earning $50,000 a year. Over the 15-year life of the system, the machines yielded $3.5 million in labor and productivity savings.
An under-reported development of this campaign season is the Republican Party's decision this week to send Gov. Mitt Romney into the presidential race on a platform effectively calling for a new gold commission. The realization that America's system of fiat money is part of its economic problem is moving from the fringes of political discussion to the center.
This is a sharp contrast from the last time a gold commission was convened, in 1981, a decade after President Nixon abandoned the Bretton Woods system and opened the era of a fiat dollar. The 1981 commission recommended against restoring a gold basis to the dollar. But two members—Congressman Ron Paul and businessman-scholar Lewis Lehrman—dissented and outlined the case for gold.
The new platform doesn't use the word "gold," describing the 1981 United States Gold Commission as looking at a "metallic basis" for the dollar. But the metal was gold, and the new platform calls for a similar commission to investigate ways "to set a fixed value for the dollar."
What has stayed with me from 1981—I covered the commission as a young editorial writer for this newspaper—is how momentum for a new gold standard faded amid the successes of the supply-side revolution. President Reagan pushed through his tax reductions and Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker maintained tight money. Inflation was defeated. The value of the dollar, which had sunk below 1/800th of an ounce of gold during President Carter's last year in office, soared.
The 1981 commission was also stacked against a gold-backed dollar from the start. The ruling philosophy was monetarism—which, as propounded by Milton Friedman, seeks to keep prices steady by adjusting the money supply. The commission's executive director was Anna Schwartz, co-author of Friedman's "Monetary History of the United States," and the Democratic-controlled House held firm to monetarist orthodoxy.
Today things have changed. Both Friedman and Schwartz died as heroes of capitalism and freedom, but monetarism lacks the sway it once had. Even Friedman before he died seemed to adjust his thinking on using the quantity of money as a target. Schwartz predicted that monetary instability would be a breeding ground for a restoration for the role of gold.
In the ferment within today's Republican Party, the gold standard has become almost the centrist position. On the left would be those who favor a system of discretionary activism in which brilliant technocrats, such as Ben Bernanke at the Fed, use their judgment in setting interest rates. A bit to their right would be advocates of a rule, such as John Taylor's rule linking interest rates to various conditions, or one that requires the Fed to target the price of gold but stops short of defining the dollar in terms of specie.
In the center would be advocates of a classical gold standard, in which a dollar is defined as a fixed amount of gold. These include, among others, Mr. Lehrman, James Grant of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, publisher Steve Forbes, economist Judy Shelton, and Sean Fieler of the American Principles Project.
The immigration officer at Sheremetyevo took my passport and studied it for some time. He didn’t say anything; he just thumbed through the passport and then looked at a computer screen for a couple of lifetimes before stamping it and grunting me on to customs.
The KGB was still manning the borders the first time I went to Moscow shortly after the fall of Communism. Letting Americans walk freely into Mother Russia without official surveillance was driving the man crazy but he had to keep a lid on it.
In fact, Communism had been officially dead for only a few months when the shock troops of capitalism started storming the gates of opportunity in the former Soviet Union. The ghosts of Marx, Lenin and Stalin stalked the halls of the Politburo in horror as entrepreneurs from the United States, Japan and Western Europe tried to cut deals for every asset in Mother Russia that wasn’t nailed down. Banking, hospitality, timber and precious metals came under assault by peculiar partnerships of western capitalists and thugs from the once mighty KGB. During those early years, when Yeltsin (God love him) and his vodka were in office, it was a free-for-all.
The Oklahoma land rush of the 1890s had nothing on Moscow in 1992.
But even then, the oil industry stayed under control of the state—directly or indirectly. In fact, as recently as 2003, the bare-chested former KGB colonel and current premier—soon to be president of Russia . . . again—Vladimir Putin squashed a buyout deal between Russia’s Yukos and Exxon, the largest company in the world.
To understand the reason for this, we return momentarily to the early days of the Cold War when an isolated Soviet Union tasked their top scientists to identify the actual source of oil. Not a weekend homework assignment. After considerable research, in 1956, Russian scientist Professor Vladimir Porfir’yev announced that “crude oil and natural petroleum gas have no intrinsic connection with biological matter originating near the surface of the earth. They are primordial [originating with the earth’s formation] materials which have been erupted from great depths.”
If your eyeballs didn’t fall out when you read that, you might want to read it again.
He said oil doesn’t come from anything biologic, not, as conventional wisdom dictates, from the fossilized remains of dinosaurs and/or ancient plant matter. It comes from very deep in the earth and is created by a biochemical reaction that subjected hydrocarbons (elements having carbon and hydrogen) to extreme heat and intense pressure during the earth’s formation.
Russians referred to this oil (any oil, really) as “abiotic oil” because it is not created from the decomposition of biological life forms, but rather from the chemical process continually occurring inside the earth.
I know, easy for Porfir’yev to say. But it turns out it was more than just a theory.
Because shortly after the Russians discovered this, they started drilling ultra-deep wells and finding oil at 30,000 and 40,000 feet below the earth’s surface. These are staggering depths, and far below the depth at which organic matter can be found, which is 18,000 feet.
Interesting, eh?
The Russians applied their theory of abiotic deep-drilling technology to the Dnieper-Donets Basin, an area understood for the previous half a century to be barren of oil. Of sixty wells drilled there using abiotic technology, thirty-seven became commercially productive—a 62 percent success rate compared with the roughly 10 percent success rate of a U.S. wildcat driller. The oil found in the basin rivaled Alaska’s North Slope.
Let’s say they had a good hair day.
But it doesn’t stop there, not by a long shot. Since their earlier discoveries, the major Russian oil companies have quietly drilled more than 310 ultra-deep wells and put them into production.
Result? Russia recently overtook Saudi Arabia as the planet’s largest oil producer.
Seems some people think the oil companies are going to tell the truth about why they shut Liberty down. As the Russians were drilling these wells in late 70's with tech they stole from the US, what the oil company says makes little sense.
Discovery backs theory oil not 'fossil fuel' A study published in Science Magazine today presents new evidence supporting the abiotic theory for the origin of oil, which asserts oil is a natural product the Earth generates constantly rather than a “fossil fuel” derived from decaying ancient forests and dead dinosaurs.
The lead scientist on the study ? Giora Proskurowski of the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle ? says the hydrogen-rich fluids venting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the Lost City Hydrothermal Field were produced by the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in the mantle of the earth.
The abiotic theory of the origin of oil directly challenges the conventional scientific theory that hydrocarbons are organic in nature, created by the deterioration of biological material deposited millions of years ago in sedimentary rock and converted to hydrocarbons under intense heat and pressure.
Radical Russian researchers say we are looking for oil in all the wrong places.
Everybody knows that oil and gas drilled out of the earth comes from the remains of plants and animals trapped underground millions of years ago. This received wisdom so dominates our thinking that it is enshrined in the very language we use--fossil fuels. They took eons to form, and we are using them up far faster than they can be replenished.
What if the whole theory is wrong?
That's the premise of a small but passionate band of Russian and Ukrainian contrarians. They argue that oil and gas don't come from fossils; they're synthesized deep within the earth's mantle by heat, pressure and other purely chemical means, before gradually rising to the surface. Under the so-called abiotic theory of oil, finding all the energy we need is just a matter of looking beyond the traditional basins where fossils might have accumulated.
The idea that oil comes from fossils "is a myth. … We need to change this myth," says petroleum engineer Vladimir Kutcherov, at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. "All kinds of rocks could have oil and gas deposits."
Alexander Kitchka of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences brashly estimates that 60% of the content of all oil is abiotic in origin, and not from fossil fuels. He says companies should drill deeper to find it.
BP Oil Gusher a Product of Abiotic Oil–Not Dinosaurs
BP drilled so deep into the earth that it is extremely unlikely that the sea of oil they hit was made from fossils.
It appears that BP hit a massive deep channel of abiotic oil. That means that the oil was not produced from decaying matter but from chemical processes deep within the earth. It has been known for years that there is abiotic oil. The notion that the earth had hit a peak in oil production was, in my view, fed by Big Oil and financial interests to justify the massive profits from price rigging and speculation. Peak oil was also used as an excuse to justify deep sea drilling and other risky ventures to get more oil.
The U.S. Constitution was a magnificent document. In that long, hot Philadelphia summer, your Founding Fathers thoughtfully debated the instrument of your freedom – a document that inspires all of us who no longer live in the knowledge that the only people who can impose laws or taxes upon us are those whom we have elected.

In today’s Europe, we are ruled by faceless Kommissars elected by none, accountable to none, removable by none. By contrast, the United States is still, in Walt Whitman’s memorable phrase, “the athletic democracy.” Or, rather, it was.
For your governing class has cravenly abandoned the Constitution. Faced with one of the most flagrant and persisting breaches of that great charter of freedom in your nation’s history, they totter fightless from the field.
This is what your Constitution says:
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
No ifs. No buts. This is the ancient and sensible ius soli: you are a citizen of the nation on whose soil you were born. Not born here? Go and play president somewhere else.
There is no room in this column to point out all of the obvious defects in Mr. Obama’s transparently forged “birth certificate.” I have summarized them in a briefing for my Peers. Get it from
. Forgery has been committed. The fraudsters should be locked up forever.
But the real criminals are those in high office who know Mr. Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery but willfully, sullenly do absolutely nothing about it.
Mr. Romney made a joke of the bogus birth certificate and then, characteristically, flip-flopped and apologized. He should certainly have apologized – not for drawing attention to the issue but for making a joke of it, and for failing to ensure behind the scenes that a credible, properly organized, fully funded legal challenge to the Manchurian Candidate’s right to appear on the ballot against him is vigorously pursued.
But no. Let’s crack a limp joke, limply apologize and limply lose the election.
Those who say the political debate should confine itself to the issues of national bankruptcy, illegal immigration, assaults upon liberty by liberals and attacks upon democracy by “Democrats” are right. Mr. Romney should have acted in private. There was no call for him to say a word in public about his shifty opponent’s shifting allegiances: until 2007 a self-proclaimed son of the Kenyan soil, born in Mombasa; then, in the 2008 presidential race, a natural-born U.S. citizen born in Hawaii, brought up in Indonesia, registered for Social Security in Connecticut (where he has never lived) and holding a Selective Service record with a forged two-digit year-stamp.
In Britain, if the prime minister put a forged document on the Web, the media would give him no mercy until he had been shamed into opening up the original document to independent forensic scrutiny.
Not in today’s America.
I asked a senior Republican attorney what he thought. He became hysterical and said: “Don’t touch the issue. Birthers are pointy-heads. They will draw you in. Your reputation will be ruined. Really.”
Never mind the reputation of his country and yours. Never mind the Constitution he had sworn to uphold. As Sir John Hoskyns, first head of Margaret Thatcher’s policy unit, used to say: “Nations fail when people find it safer to get on with their mates than to get on with the job.”
And when the "law" fail to do it's job, then what? Sheriff Joe and computer documents with world known credentials testifying with expertise in court cases have said O"s BC and Military card are fakes and bad fake. As well as court expert in SS says O's SS is a fraud.
So now what that the "law" has failed, and the courts have failed? Who is responsible for these failures? O has the power of the Presidents office, and he has all to gain from this. All signs point right at O himself.
ROB THE VOTE! Obama's secret strategy for staying in power The Obama administration is widely regarded as the most lawless in U.S. history. This much you already know.
Not enough votes to pass Obamacare? Bribe senators. Don't like the Defense of Marriage law? Refuse to defend it in court. Congress won't pass the "Dream Act" granting amnesty to a million illegals? Do it yourself by executive fiat. Don't want to defend America's borders? Sue states that do. Don't like congressional inquiries? Ignore their subpoenas.
Obama's violations are so blatant and manifold that nine states have joined together to sue the federal government for its rampant lawlessness.
So, now comes election time – and guess what the Obama administration's approach is to America's most sacred and fundamental civic institution.
Right: Utter lawlessness. The actions and intentions of Team Obama, if distilled into words, would be this: To hell with "the law." We're using every means possible to retain power and establish a permanent progressive voting majority in this country.
Incredibly, in today's America, voter fraud has become an essential component of how Democrats win elections.
A team of scientists at the Boston Children’s Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person’s bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely.
This finding has the potential to save millions of lives every year. The microparticles can keep an object alive for up to 30 min after respiratory failure. This is accomplished through an injection into the patients’ veins. Once injected, the microparticles can oxygenate the blood to near normal levels. This has countless potential uses as it allows life to continue when oxygen is needed but unavailable. For medical personnel, this is just enough time to avoid risking a heart attack or permanent brain injury when oxygen is restricted or cut off to patients.
