The U.S.A. is at the 72% consumption level. No country can survive at 70 – 72% plus consumption without producing product. Why you ask? The answer is the nation must put the P-production back into the GDP. Since the 1980’s all we’ve heard was we will survive and even prosper in a service society. I didn’t buy it then and I don’t buy it now or ever. As Irving Wesley Hall said is his article, “What’s Good for General Motors is Now Good for China” he states, “The United States has degenerated from a world power based on industrial production to an overextended military empire based on debt and consumption. Our citizens have gone from well-paid industrial workers with comfortable savings accounts to cash-starved consumers with staggering credit card payments.

As bottom-line obsessed CEOs moved good jobs overseas, factory workers became Wal-Mart clerks selling Chinese products. For decades real wages have stagnated as prices continued to rise. Fifty years ago a man was able to support a family on a union member’s wages while his wife stayed at home to care for the children. Now almost half of private sector workers subsist on the minimum wage.”

The plain and obvious truth is wages drive demand the higher the wage the higher the demand! A wise old man once said you cannot sell something to someone who has no money.

There is no such thing as a service sector society. There is only the three legged stool mining, manufacturing and agriculture. What do you do with a stool? You sit things on it, and on the national stool sit services. Without the stool services crash to the floor and that’s what you see happing now.

All we hear today is free up money so banks can lend. They never answer the question how are people going to pay back the loan when the job has gone to China and India or their employer has cut their pay and benefits in this headlong race to the bottom?

Conditions and policies of government law make it easy for the rich to buy into the physiology called the Shock Doctrine, free trade, the global plantation. They are degreed at the same colleges where this nonsense is taught. My God even Frank Lorenzo got an honorary degree (that means free) from Colombia Collage of Business back in the day. They listen to the same mantra from the same people at seminars and cocktail parties that we the people are never invited to.

Now circle back to Robert Rubin for example who is a high priest of the free trade religion. Rubin claims ignorance of the collapse of the financial system. Rubin who makes a show of himself as a master of the universe claims he is more ignorant about the economy than the local blue collar worker. Well thank you Robert Rubin, since that’s the case I have a list of regular people and some blue collar workers that could create rings of successful economies around you. Funny how people in power with great hubris cannot admit when caught how incredibility stupid they are.

Bloated prideful egos like Robert Rubin will not allow them to be heroes by saying I made a mistake believing this crap about the free market, the race to the bottom by way of deregulation and privatization that has destroyed and hurt a lot of people. There is an entirely new direction we should go to reestablish the American dream by rebuilding the middle class. Instead they lie. They lie about unions and history while puking globaloney and free trade all over the rest of us. Because we are not stupid we don’t have to take it any more!

The poverty rate among older Americans could be twice as high according to a revised formula from the National Academy of Sciences. The original formula, created in 1955 doesn’t take into account rising costs of medical care, cities with higher costs of living such as Chicago, the annual cost of living, and annual cost of groceries. Older people with modest cash incomes have or are falling below the poverty line due to out – of – pocket expenses from rising Medicare premiums, deductibles and a coverage gap in the prescription drug benefit known as the “doughnut hole.” The new Formula from NAS wound take these things into account.

The “hidden problem” of failed policies such as airline deregulation are now becoming apparent. Middle class people who for the last 30 years who have been forced to live on the edge that never had enough to save now don’t have what they need to get by. Now that the “grey bomb” is here many millions of older people are on the edge of survival, given the current policies and attitudes in Washington and what’s coming things can only get worse.

If you need to identify a real enemy in your life your enemy is the ISDA the International Swaps & Derivative Association. Declare war on them. The best way to explain this group is to expose what they are about to do. They are about to auction Credit Default Swaps which are derivatives left over from these huge bankruptcies in an attempt to discover a price for them. Fannie and Freedie are on the block. Oct. 10 is Lehman Bros. Oct. 23 Washington Mutual. You can expect the U.S. Treasury to be there using your hard earned money to buy worthless toxic derivatives.

What’s going on behind the scenes is a many hedge funds are now either in bankruptcy liquidation or are approaching bankruptcy. In a display that these parasites are succumbing to their own disease they are now selling their futures contracts on the London Intercontinental Exchange which is in turn pushing the price of oil down.

A real U.S. government for the people would attack and shut down this group by any means immediately. Again strong state action by your congressman is needed. Wipe out and ban all derivatives and any expression thereof.

Two things that are needed are 1 binding instructions on Chapter 11 bankruptcy judges. For example, if a bankrupt firm comes to the court with derivatives that’s the first thing the court wipes out. This in most cases will reestablish the viable life of the company. 2 there is such a thing as the TAF. They increase the TAF 150 billion every 2 weeks to a month, for Wall Street. They are also in the process of lending 1.5 trillion to foreign central banks, stock brokers, mutual fund scam artists, money market criminals, insurance companies well that’s just fine. If they are doing it for them then let them make this money available to everybody at the lowest possible rate of interest with the only stipulation that people do something productive with the money.

Now understand these 2 measures are pure heterodoxy from the point of view of the Austrian School or Milton Freedman. Those who preach the culture of death hate these measures. However these measures are on the other hand the passport to life and civilization for the rest of us.

De-code to be free of those who would control you.

The shift is over as many people realize that it’s not going to make a difference, people are just letting go of the old system as much as possible, and they have become open to the new ideas of a coming time.

People are losing faith in the old paradigm of the last 30 years or so. They had been so consistently lied to by all the major institutions to the point of possibility losing everything. The result is that they are willing to take responsibility for their lives and fortunes rather than leaving it to private companies to care for them, this is a positive development. As places go down more people will let go more.

The banks have been made super strong and now are poised for a final grand attack against the people in order to continue their global consolidation. What we are seeing is a financial war against the middle class in the United States and some are shifting to a better way.

First full thanks to Jeff Rense for being the conduit for the information in the following article. Thank you Jeff for all you do for us. And now from the Jeff Rense program…

Tom Fife has a story to tell, a story he is compelled to tell a story that was given to him. You can read the story at Rense.com entitled the First Time I Heard of Barack.

Briefly Tom Fife was a software developer gone to Russia in 1992 during the collapse of the Soviet Union to set up fax machines so the people could communicate. During the relief work he was invited to a small dinner party mostly consisting of physicists. Of the ten physicists eight were Russian. There was the top physicist from the Russian Academy of Science. His wife was said to be a professional of sorts but at the same time was rising highly in the communist party. She was the information link between the new business venture the men were involved in and the communist party.

To cut a long story short an American made some comments that really irritated the wife. She then took over all conversation and wanted the Americans to know that we were not as perfect as we thought we were. Who other but the KGB would know the following information 17 years into the future? She said, “Very soon the tables are going to be turned on you.” The following is the essence of what she said.

• They’ve engineered the take over of your country
• You’ll have a black President very soon
• He will be a communist
• He will be educated
• He is already born
• His name will be Barack and he will be a blessing to communism and not necessarily Russia
• She said with contempt, “A chocolate baby”
• The mother will be white the father will not be American but African. This was well thought out. Being African and not black American avoids the slave stigma. She thought it was so clever they had considered this particular point.
• He will be from Hawaii
• He will go to school in California
• He is now in Chicago
• He will be irresistible, America will not be able to resist him
• He will be from Washington then will live in Hawaii
• Very soon he will be in the Illinois Legislature

This was said in a state of taunting or one upmanship as to win a debate such as to say you think your so great well try this on for size.

She then talked about how well the communists were established in the United States. She mentioned 3 cities that were of particular interest to them New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Looking at those cities it totally fits.

• Fact: Obama’s black teenage mentor was Frank Marshall Davis an American Communist.

Remember this was said to Mr. Fife in 1992 something to think about next time if you should feel the swoon.

President Obama’s idea of capping the pay of the rich at the counting houses is a good start but flawed, because the CEO for example is likely to quit the firm that’s taking money from the government and moves to the next firm down the street or worse get with his cronies and start a new counting house. The answer is tax the rich defined as 3 million per year and up at 90%. That way it doesn’t matter what the address is the CEO has to pay the tax. This will enable all the rich to pay their fair share into the economy and country that gave them a system free of charge to become rich.

It was the region of Arnhem Land. As the European cattlemen started loosing cattle some were sure it was crocodiles but that all changed when they learned the secret contained in the scrub where the Burrunjor lives.

Stories and sightings abound among the Aborigines of terrifying, huge monster that is described closely to a Tyrannosaurus rex. The beasts are depicted in cave art, thousands of years old yet Aborigines believe these flesh eating dinosaurs wander back and fourth across the Gulf Country and Cape York Australia today.

Those who have contact with the Aborigines found them terrified of these dinosaur type reptiles inhabiting the North Territory jungles and scrublands. There is one region of jungle in Arnhem Land where no horse will go willingly nor will the Aborigines. Horrific sounds are heard night and day and the crashing of jungle foliage as the monsters are moving.

Enormous three-clawed tracks have been found: these tracks are fresh, however when trackers follow these footprints their dogs and horses go only so far into the scrub jungle then stop or scatter. Based on the measured size of their footprints the monster is believed to have a stride of nearly 3 1/2 ft. and 20 to 30 ft. tall.

There is a story that in 1957 a herd of 50 cattle stampeded one night, seemingly for no apparent reason. Then, amid all the commotion, an Aboriginal member of the group ran screaming in terror into the river.

A loud, snorting, grunting sound could be heard, and in the moonlight the dark shadowy form of some monstrous beast towering over the cattle could be seen bounding over nearby flats into scrubland.

The next morning the men found several cows and a bull dead, one of the animals partly devoured. They also found, deeply embedded across the flat earth leading into the scrub, monstrous clawed tracks-“the tracks of Burrunjor”, said the frightened Aboriginal jackeroo.

One fine day I was typing away on the computer and wouldn’t you know it; sitting on top of the computer was a large glass of water. As I lifted my hand to grasp it for a drink it spilled over right into the air vents of the tower bathing all the circuit boards, etc. in a fresh clean waterfall, most reminiscent of one of those Caribbean commercials seen on TV.  If my IT guy had been there I think he would have had a heart attack, but not me. First thing I did as the monitor began displaying the most fascinating array of colors I began to unscrew the side panel. As the computer was not responding to any shut off buttons I thought analog to the rescue once again, the heck with buttons; unplug it!

Now as to the soaking wet circuit boards. As usual the tech side has no answer but panic at such a dilemma, but not to worry it so written (I don’t know where) as with the printer feed wheels so it is with computer innards, so out came the mighty hair dryer from the 1970’s. One flip of the high heat switch and 15 minutes later the computer was not only dry but all the dust was blown out as well.

So a word to all you techies out there some of us old analog dinosaur brains really do have an interface port; and that connects to the IT side.

Thank God it was distilled water.

In this article I will not get on either side of the issue for or against single payer health care. Let us rather stand back coldly and just observe some facts from only one of the criminally insane who sits in a trusted position of power and authority in our country.

The subject one Steven Hemsley CEO of United Healthcare. It is said in the Bible words to the effect to he who is given much, much is expected. It seems Hemsley has ignored the edict because he expects to give himself much and he has.

For example: Hemsley’s Greed – Source: The Ed Show

Purchased a 7.8 million home that includes 9 bedrooms at a cost of $86,000 per bedroom – Source: Forbes

2008 Compensation – $3.2 million

Piling up more greed as the addicted pig cannot get enough.

Unexercised Stock Options $744,232,068

2009 Earnings $4,096,815.00 per week-$819,363.00 every day

$102,742 EVERY HOUR!

Health care is a manipulated industry controlled by a few psychopathic patients who are addicted by unending greed. Sociopaths who on a daily basis deny sick people care for the sole reason of adding to their indefensible lifestyle of absolute greed and avarice.

It in known that people are denied the care they paid for. However the money wasn’t saved for health care it was spent and squandered by a criminal class of CEO’s and their pals. They covet and spend the money for themselves then when a treatment is called for they simply deny the care. Ponzi’s idea fell apart because at some point he had to pay back the money, when he couldn’t the scheme was exposed. How he would have liked to say your claim for what you paid for is denied, that’s it end of story that’s your fate you can’t do or say anything about it goodbye. Well that’s exactly what the health insurance companies do every day all the while raising your premiums. Think of it we have a system that allows a little twit with barely a high school degree telling your doctor what procedures he can or cannot do because the insurance companies won’t pay for it. How many people have to be denied treatment and die for Hemsley to receive $102,742 every hour? I’m not pushing for single payer necessarily but clearly this has to change.
