US Aircraft Carrier Deployment Update - February 9

For all wondering just how prepared for an escalation in the middle east conflict the US is, we present the most recent deployment map of US aircraft carriers across the world, as of February 9. It appears that there is a material concentration of naval capacity in the Middle-east region since last week, as CVN 65 Enterprise, CVN 70 Vinson and CVN 72 Lincoln are all in immediate proximity to Egypt and the Middle-East theater, as is the LHD 3 Kearsarge amphibious warfare ship which is lodged smack in the middle of the Red Sea.

all,  they are creating relentless diversions of circus for the sheeple, while they lay down their dastardly plan for heisting and estimated 7 trillion of privately held American sheeple's 401-K and IRA retirement assets. Their plans are public knowledge having published them for all to view, though the rampage of circus maximus, no one is paying attention.

See FEDERAL REGISTER VOLUME 75 NO 21 published Tuesday February 2nd, 2010 

Liqudate, pay your taxes and pay your penalty, pile the remaining into physical gold and silver before you cannot plan any part of the rest of your days, excepting for your job at the government broom factory and sitting down for your daily ration of goober gruel. 

I know it may come as a shock to read a recommendation such as this from a retired stock broker for over 10 years, it came as near electrocution to me.

Another Frank Herbert gem:

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
