The chinamen is not the issue.
Hahaha! +1
Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.
redpill, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here. This is a guy...
...a guy who put life savings in TBills.
who peed on my rug!
Like I said, uh, Wu peed on my rug.
That rug really tied the room together...
And these guys peed on it...
That was an awesome movie.
You know it, Arizona! However, the proper reply, of course, would have been, "Shut the fuck up, Donny."

"Donny you're out of your element! Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue here!"
I see nothing but nihilists on this sub-thread

Fuckin A
the only thing that makes me happier than a big lebowski qoute is 10 other peoples lebowski qoutes. All of you just made my day.
thanks.
+1.
"You said it, man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus."
The Dude on the effects of FED policy?
"This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. And, uh, a lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber."
That made my waking up from a nightmare so much easier. Thanks mate.
Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism. At least it's an ethos.
BWWWAAAAHHH!!! I thought the NEW term was Warlock Vatican Assassins...
'Chink'?
He peed on my rug man.... It tied the room together.
Right! Going nowhere, FAST!
Right, he's bought and paid for. The problem is the bankrupt JPM (that owns the FED), which can be destroyed by buying an ounce of silver (make sure it's delivered into your possesion). Let's destroy the power of the private bank that runs the country. Someday there will be a margin call on all the shorts that JPM plays (hopefully soon!) .
If only. PM = good, JPM = bad, but they've got plenty of tricks up their sleeve. "Bank holidays", "state of emergency," "suspension of elections," et. al.
funny pic...
I've been to China, they all have motorized bicycles now. American, liberating the tired legs of the Chinese by exporting our money so they can buy electric bicycles!
Hmmm, you're saying that our hot checks enabled the Chinese to buy Chinese-made electric engines for their bicycles?
You MUST work for the Fed. Say hi to Ben for me.
That's where we're headed. First we'll all buy smaller cars, then small used cars, then mopeds, then electric bikes.
This devolution to third world standards is considered "progress" by the "planners" here in Portland, OR.
No, the powers that be. But delight in the retribution to come.
That's where we're headed. First we'll all buy smaller cars, then small used cars, then mopeds, then electric bikes.
You forgot Rickshaws.....
Aim higher: Barefoot nation.
And what's the name of the chicken that you're fixing for me?
Bingo! Sit in the cold and dark and not do much = virtue.
looks like the wheels on Ben's printing press to me
great cinematography... the lighting and motion is perfect
I laughed...I cried...
...I took a nap...my extra is in silver.
"Easily the feel-good movie of the year! Two thumbs up!"
:>D
All it lacks is Benocide's Romanov beard on that guy!
Perfect. Peddling like crazy but not getting anywhere. Just like Bennie Bucks printing press.
And a chinaman doing it is the icing on the cake
You know it! Did you notice the chinaman is lying in the middle of a road practically begging for a truck or bus to finish him off? Rather ironic.
Turn it upside down, and it resembles SuddenDebt.
+100 Sudden Debt's avatar rocks!
you caught my attention, mineheir.
Is this guy one of the 62k that just got a McDonalds job? Would hate to see the other 900k they said no to
Exactly!
I'm not sure if I understand the point, but let me take a guess:
That bicycle is fake, which is in reference to China's reliance on producing pirated goods. The picture would be funnier if the Chinese guy was wearing an eye patch, or had a wooden leg or had a parrot on his shoulder.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Stop it with the reality show... you'll hurt the revolutionist and Liberals gig.
If he had Donald Trump's hairstyle & he held a Birth Certificate as well it would capture a moment in American History

Have you ever noticed that Texas is an anagram for Taxes?
Actually your name is an anagram for: Enraging Sex Lust, Untangle Sex Rigs, and Learning Sex Tugs.
Which is funny after reading your enraged Christian routine in the other thread.
I just finished re-reading Atlas Shrugged again (and watched the movie over the weekend). So true. So sad. We should all just QUIT like John Galt did.
Who is John Galt? - I bet Ayn Rand could kick Obama's a$$
First she'd sleep with him, then discard him
But then who would the looters have left to loot??
Reminds me of Death of a Salesman: I believe it is Biff who keeps telling his dad: Look, I can do jogging motions while on my back! I can feel my muscles burgeoning!
If more Americans did this simple and entertaining gimmick, we'd be back in shape in a jiffy. Somebody capture that gif, add a soundtrack, and release it on DVD.
It's almost as promising as the silver prospects!
That about sums it up.

I just read in a paper that Texas wheat harvest is more of less destroyed by the drought.
Is this good news when Fukusima has polluted fish and half the farm land overthere?
Very good news. At least the wildfires didn't get it.
Bad for shorts, but who shorts food, anyway?
Very good news? Do you eat?
There's a silver short analogy in there somewhere. Paste him on a chart.
The little guy's working too hard for it to be a perfect analogy.
Gotta give the kid credit for stamina. I've been watching him for a half-hour now and he still hasn't taken a break.
Watch him for a few more hours, have a toddy, turn in, and have sweet dreams.
Wasted effort -- going nowhere -- nothing for something.
Hahah
Spend all night analysing this intriguing image!
Going nowhere despite the twin limbed powers of the debt from China to consume the products made in China lying flat out on the Road to Serfdom?
I do think the ever optimistic sheeple grin is appropriate,
gettin' nowhere fast. . .how long 'til he loses that grin?
at least until Kate and William say "i do"
that looks like a Masonic bicycle.
deist taoist?
The best thing about a part-time McDonalds job this time of year is that you can work for a little while and get free food until you can quit and go back on unemployment and food-stamps when the NFL season starts.
More accurate portrayal would be if that guy paid for that bicycle with his children's credit card and then there's a steamroller coming down the road with a Chinese flag on it.
But he looks so happy...
so does 89% American.

The Four Horsemen have interlocking directorates with the international mega-banks. Exxon Mobil shares board members with JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Canada and Prudential. Chevron Texaco has interlocks with Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase. BP Amoco shares directors with JP Morgan Chase. RD/Shell has ties with Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, N. M. Rothschild & Sons and Bank of England.
Former Citibank chairman Walter Shipley sat on Exxon Mobil’s board, as did Wayne Calloway of Citigroup and Allen Murray of JP Morgan Chase. Willard Butcher of Chase sat on the board of Chevron Texaco. Former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan came from Morgan Guaranty Trust and served on the board of Mobil. BP Amoco director Lewis Preston went on to become president of the World Bank.
Other BP Amoco directors have included Sir Eric Drake, the #2 man at the world’s largest port operator P&O Nedlloyd and a director at Hudson Bay Company and Kleinwort Benson. William Johnston Keswick, whose family controls Hong Kong powerhouse Jardine Matheson, also sat on the board of BP Amoco. Keswick’s son is a director at HSBC. The Hong Kong connection is even stronger at Royal Dutch/Shell.
Lord Armstrong of Ilminster sat on the boards of Royal Dutch/Shell, N. M. Rothschild & Sons, Rio Tinto and Inchcape. Cathay Pacific Airlines owner and HSBC insider Sir John Swire was a director at Shell, as was Sir Peter Orr, who joins Armstrong on Inchape’s board. Shell director Sir Peter Baxendell joins Armstrong on the board of Rio Tinto, while Shell’s Sir Robert Clark sits on the board of the Bank of England.
As a result of the deregulation craze in the US companies no longer have to report their top shareholders to the SEC. According to 1993 10K reports filed by the Four Horsemen, the Rothschild, Rockefeller and Warburg banking combines still control Big Oil. The Rockefellers exert control through New York mega-banks and Banker’s Trust, which in 1999 was purchased by Warburg-controlled Deutsche Bank in its bid to become the largest bank in the world.
As of 1993 Banker’s Trust was #1 shareholder in Exxon. Chemical Bank was #4 and J.P. Morgan was #5. Both are now part of JP Morgan Chase. Banker’s Trust was also leading shareholder at Mobil. BP listed Morgan Guaranty as its biggest owner in 1993, while Amoco listed Banker’s Trust as its #2 shareholder. Chevron listed Banker’s Trust as its #5 shareholder, while Texaco listed J.P. Morgan as its #4 owner and Banker’s Trust as #9.
Thus, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase – the banks of Warburg and Rockefeller – have increased shares in Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco and Chevron Texaco. Rothschild-controlled Bank of America and Wells Fargo exert West Coast control over Big Oil, while Mellon Bank also remains a big player. Wells Fargo and Mellon Bank were both top 10 shareholders of Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco and BP Amoco as of 1993.
Information on Royal Dutch/Shell is even harder to obtain since they are registered in the UK and Hollandand are not required to file 10K reports. It is 60% owned by Royal Dutch Petroleum of Holland and 40% owned by Shell Trading & Transport of the UK. The company has only 14,000 stockholders and few directors. The consensus from researchers is that Royal Dutch/Shell is still controlled by the Rothschild, Oppenheimer, Nobel and Samuel families along with the British House of Windsor and the Dutch House of Orange.
Queen Beatrix of the Dutch House of Orangeand Lord Victor Rothschild are the two largest shareholders. Queen Beatix’ mother Juliana was once the richest woman in the world and a patroness of the right-wing occult movement. Prince Bernhard, who married Juliana in 1937, was a member of the Hitler Youth Movement, the Nazi SS and an employee of Nazi combine I.G. Farben. He sits on the boards of over 300 European companies and founded the Bilderbergers.

Thank you very much. Most people don't understand that it's just a small group of thousands that run everything. As you have shown, each are on multiple boards, They all are on first name basis with each other. They KNOW who is in the club, and they KNOW who isn't.
NOW, what we need is a website that combines...
A database of Board of directors of the above major corps,
Their Names and Addresses, with A website that combines the ideas of "Homes of the Stars" tours with Child molester website.
Linked into Google Earth mapping.
So you can click on a corp, Click on a name, and Get Driving directions.
Just so that the 'Little people" can click on a name and drive over ring the door bell so to speak and say "Thank you" in a very personable way....
Ding dong!...Karma calling
I have seen drunk japanese old men after mid-night fell on the side walk and still paddling. Can you imagine how funny it looks in real.
Actually, this is a fiat bike.
Now that's funny. Thanks for the laugh :)
Resembles another goofy peddler peddling crap & not making any progress named stupid Bernanke?

people, americans just put it on cruise whenever possible. downhill c r u i s e, slide right cheeky!

Cool....
Now, that's a well done allegory of the US economy. Masterpiece depicting wishful thinking, wasted effort, hypomania. Tragic and Comical.
