The Senate Can At Least Agree On One Thing
While coming to some agreement over living within America's means now seems hopelessly beyond the ability of Congress, at least the Senate can agree on one thing:
- U.S. SENATE HAS ENOUGH VOTES TO RENEW WARRANTLESS WIRETAP LAW - BBG
- WIRETAP LAW LETS U.S. GOVERNMENT MONITOR E-MAILS AND CALLS
In other words, when it comes to spying on its citizens, the US government is quite united. It will also be unanimous when it has to vote its annual COLA salary increase to keep up with the true 10% inflation.

They hate us for our freedoms.
Now they just hate us because we're better at despotism than they ever thought of.
At some point, Congress will send in the military to liberate us and bring democracy to America.
Wow, I actually laughed out loud at that.
Some pigs are more equal than others.
Michael Moore carrys. Well... not really but, he hires someone to carry for him. You can do that when you are a rich Elite.

And on Meet The Press, Sunday, the host of the show, Gregory, railed against armed guards at school. And guess how it is where he sends his kids to school.... yep.

Why did the US Federal Government declare a shadow war with legislation on the American people, and we better do something about it?
They will liberate the guns from their oppressive owners first
ha! Criminals... the lot of 'em!

It's a supply, resource and ethics thing. At some point it will make more sense and be safer and better for all involved to turn around and frag they're retarded evil C.O.'z
Also, "It's for the children".
The debt or the lack of civil rights?
Yes
Daddy, did Congress invent anal sex?
No, that was C Everett Koop...a cabinet "member".
Ah no, that was FDR after he saw Eleanor from the front.
"I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger..."
"They hate us for our freedoms."
If by "they" you mean congress you are spot on...
I just assume every call I make is a conference call.
Wow! Haha.
My ass really did fall off that time

Even in death, Osama bin Laden continues his assault on our freedoms.
Don't worry... they'll be too busy spending their pay raises & doing insider stock trades to spy on you...
Dont forget their special mortgage rates that they work tirelessly to get.
You lie!
Congress investigated themselves and concluded there was no ethical violation.
Well the good news is that the taxpayer was probably not set back much by that investigation [except for the catering, escort services, & open bar]...
That assumes the presence of "ethics" to begin with...
Well, strictly speaking, 'ethics' comes from "ethos" and just means, more or less, 'way of life/living'
So - they have ethics, for sure.
They're just really shitty ethics.
they don't have to, they built large server farms in the middle of the desert to do it for them. all they have to do is a name search.
My new years resolution: Learn how to create and use a one-time-pad cypher. There is no school like the old school.
This method is fun - uses a deck of cards:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitaire_%28cipher%29
Nothing beats a one time pad though.
Nothing beats the original PGP v0.1 without the third key encryption. Which can be found in the AcornNet, AmigaNet and the AtariNet archives under mail tools with source. Bring a 68k assembler compiler though.
PGP, that was a flashback.... From your post, I looked up PGP to see the current status. On wiki there was a small tid-bit I found interesting:
I love this guy!
Even if that didn't fly, they could do the CSS haiku thing.
The only thing harder to stamp out than weed is math.
And for extra credit: steganography (not sure if I pity or envy the guy that'll have to dig through petabytes of pr0n that may or may not be encrypted evidence).

I've been buying manual typewritters for the eventual situation where the power goes out and I can avoid relying on my poor penmanship to write nonsense to friends. You can find them at the Salvation Army or Good will for cheap.
I'm betting that they'll be worth their weight in gold once the rolling blackouts kick in.
I figure a couple of good hamsters would be enough to keep a WP going... That ~ & your basic telephone land line hs a coupla volts running thru it...
And how will you convey this pad to your recipient?
Better resolution: read everything by Bruce Schneir and stop using Windows.
I mostly feel it is a skill that one should possess. Kind of like being able to skin a buck and run a trout line. Hopefully, there will not be any need to use it.
Agreed, but you have to prioritize between "getting fast with a sliderule again" and coming up to speed with more modern techniques (which cover the background you seek, FWIW).
You're probably not gonna shoot that buck with a front-loading musket, right? ;)
I do own a front loading musket BTW. Havent used it in years; but its still in the corner. But it is great for learning the fundamentals and teaching a kid the mechanics. One advantage they have is you can pretty much shoot anything you can stuff down a barrel. Including a tamping rod every once in a while. Thanks for the Bruce S info; his books look like great gift ideas.
Better wear a piece of sod on your head or they'll see you from space a drone you with unlimited rockets made by slaves in china in factory's you can't get to.
Sadly, they will still get me with the IR...
Assuming we go over the cliff and the market collapses. How low do you think the PM's will go. Where would you enter?
Buy physical before during and afterwards. You'll probably be doing it based on availability more than anything else.
Exactly. When 2008 happened, availability essentially went to zero -- my local dealers were quoting six week delivery.
If you're willing to risk it, however, they did deliver in the end. Presumably they will continue to, until they don't.
I would enter the front door of any reputable coin shop and
take delivery TODAY.

It has to be true. Trust an anonymous poster. Go all in
Liars, cheats and thieves tend to believe everyone else is doing the same thing, thus their lack of trust in others.
<Congress hates competition.>
Because they can ... they have a monopoly ... makes ya think Wikileaks are on to something, expose every secret they have.
Let them see how they like it.
But wait!
It's illegal to read other people's e-mails and assorted sundry electronic communications, right?
Oh right, what a quaint idea.
Zip, zilch, nadaa....
That's why I do all my skywriting in cypher'd aramaic.
Gov is so efficient at some things, but others... anyway I'm worried we'll see $5 dollar gas very quickly if we don't let ourselves go over the cliff. Be thankful your taxes are going to spike bitches.
Iron ore prices have risen 60 per cent in four months, prompting one of the world’s biggest miners of the commodity to resume the multibillion-dollar expansion
my friend in China said there is massive over supply .. I would love to see iron ore crash .. could use some nice iron fencing around my garden
I would like to see some nice iron fencing around the banksters.
<One can always dream.>
As soon as you plant your little vegetable plot inside the FEMA Camp, your wish will become a reality...
"I would like to see some nice iron fencing in the banksters."

OK.
What's the present value of the future value of all the information stored in Trapwire? Maybe they could securitize that to balance the budget.

Au contraire...sew it's asshole shut and then feed, feed, feed until it's belly splits like a pinata.
Yep. That was the idea behind the old "Fuck Echelon Event" days.

Buy Gold Investment Grade diamonds, live well. (barter, countertrade black market will be the only bull market)
Diamonds are a horrible investment, but you are right about gold and you might add silver as well. I stick to gold silver eagles and pre 64 us silver currency.
I prefer Maples myself. They're about 99% gold, eagles are only 91%. Why the premium? Not sure. But hey, when I melt them down after the collapse of governments I'll be winning. Plus I figure the US can't confiscate foriegn currency, only its own if push came to shove. Hopefully we won't ever have to find out.
Eagle
Denomination: $50 face value Content: 91.6% pure gold Diameter: 32.700 mm. Thickness: 2.870 mm.vs.
Maple
Denomination: $50 Canada Content: 99.9+% pure gold Diameter: 30.000 mm. Thickness: 2.800 mm.Pav, I agree. Did you know that you can (now) get 1 oz. Maple Leafs in 0.999 99 purity? Some years ago, the RMC (Royal Canadian Mint) set the benchmark with their 0.999 9 purity, and is now their standard grade. The new world-record benchmark is now with their 0.999 99. That kind of purity has other advantages, but leave that as an exercise for people to figure out.
The ~ $80 premium is worth it IMO, as a security hedge against fraudsters. This coin is different, and is denominated in Canadian dollars (CAD).
This is also attractive to those who are Green Card holders: You can claim that you will need it to leave the US. If need be, it's part of your Exit Strategy (bugout bag) to leave the US altogether, using your foreign passport.
This is one 'upside' to be a Green Card US Subject, but not its citizen. Downside 1 = You can't vote -- as if it really made a difference. Downside 2 = When buying any firearm, additional screening is required over a US Citizen (USC); USCIS has to chime in (after a 1-day delay), to verify your app info and approve sale from dealer.
WTF ...
Does the Senate holds the People in contempt?
What next ?

This a completely natural and inescapable process: As the size of any organization grows, so does its complexity and number of communication channels. Std. communication theory tells us that the Number of Communication Channels is given by the formula: N(N-1)/N
See http://projectmanagementessentials.wordpress.com/2010/02/02/nn-12-formul... for details.
As complexity grows, so does the energy and resources behind it. Unfortunately, given the Diminishing Marginal Returns of efficiency for a growing org, and as the bankers' and politicians' pathological "need to grow" game continues, these two counter-forces lead to a self-fullfilling path to a peak and decline. Some empires fizzle out, others go Super Nova. Eastern Islands, Mayans? The US? We'll see. Let's hope the US does not do the latter, and take everyone with them.
For some this may be tough to accept at an emotional level (for those who drank the "We Are Number 1" Kool Aid all their lives), but so are the laws of gravity for some. But, unlike the LSD-doped idiot who thinks he can defy gravity, there is life after a country/empire crumbles. Out of the ashes... new life. Hopefully more wise, than more 'smart' life and orgs. Right now, I think, collectively we're plenty 'smart', but not plenty 'wise'.

The front page of Drudge has a photo of Boehner, Obama, and Reid. Wow, what a sad sack group of ass-clowns.
But, the public gets what the public wants. I'm constantly reminded of:

I guess social media will have to go back to carrier pigeons and coded messages. " john has a long moustach," " harry reid wears womens panties"
They are racists against Americans.
What kind of Prsident signs the shit congress passes?

Neither.
Will probably ask the same question that a German Jew asked themselves in 1941: "Why did I not go with others to America, Canada or 'wherever' in 1938? Why did I let my hopium, my Normalcy Bias, and my Stockholm Syndrome get the best of my sound judgement?"
It's not different this time. The drum beat and the historic rhyme goes on.
blackmail and insider trading are bipartisan
Letting them expire would only embolden the terrorist, similiar to setting a timeline for withdrawing the troops from Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda would simply wait us out. The extrajudicial tools needed to fight the war should be made permanent...for the children.
The US government is not your friend and is not working in your best interest.
In case you had not heard.
Hope I end up ina FEMA camp in the south, dont like the cold so much.
The government's only united on things having to do with spying on Americans, detaining {and/or executing} 'terrorists' without trial, and sending money/using UN vetoes to Israel.
One wonders if they're all related somehow.
Just coincidence
Go back to sleep
They must be getting very scared up there in the District of Crooks.

SHE IS Pissed, but oooh so correct...
Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of the Deficit
Commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he
compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.
Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think
she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was
15 years old. I am now 63).
3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other
Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for
decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give
OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus
bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme
that would have made Bernie Madoff proud..
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled
the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing
retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to
age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission is proposing to move the
goalposts YET AGAIN.
5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare
from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the
game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to
such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the
bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes
our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again.
Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately
that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now,
you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off
YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling
"bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few
questions for YOU;
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during
your pathetic 50-year political career?
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and
how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the
American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you
proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual,
have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called
Congress who are the"greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases
who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from
millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That's
right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose
of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it,
and you know that we know it. And you can take that to the bank, you
miserable son of a bitch.
If you like the way things are in America delete this. If you agree
with what a fellow Montana citizen Patty Myers says, PASS IT ON!
Right on! Hands off my welfare!
FICA isn't a tax - it's a jack.
If Patty wants to know where her money is, tell her Paul Krugman assures us it is well--preserved, because the government keeps different ledgers, so one part of the government owes social security lots and lots of money.
The rest of the government spent that money, of course, and then some, and ultimately, fresh new taxpayer money will have to pay for the interest and the returned principal on the bonds {the principal, again, having been spent} but she shouldn't worry about that because liberal democrats are very, very good at math and protecting the rights they think we should have.
Actually, Patty may simply want to get her fellow Americans to stop paying any taxes at all. At this point, your taxes are essentially going to fund needless wars, military bases, shitty fighter jets, and the CIA/Mossad's off the book ops.
We borrow from China, Japan, and the Fed to pay everything else, including social security and medicare.
Cute, ain't it?
OMG!! I'm in love!
You've gotta put down a horse on the take.
Any expectation of security or privacy in cyberspace is unrealistic. Its not just the government. Anybody with enough dough who wants your stuff can get it. Ask Hank. Ask Rupert.
Hardly the point.
Just because crooks do it,so its OK for the Govt.
Which ones the crook again ?
“The main form of modern bondage is finance,” binding Americans morally and politically.
Wiretapping, political assassinations, holding Americans without trial, all have their source in the so-called war on terror. And this directly relates to the campaigns of neoconservatives and Zionists seeking support of a Zionist foreign policy. This Zionist involvement, reflected in moves by the Congress, must be brought to the open and discussed.
Historical accounts of European Bolshevik criminality are only now being made known and, hence, the source of the terror. We ignore them at our peril.
Richard Pipes notes that the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic of Bela Kun (Kohn) in 1919 was even more brutal than that of Kurt Eisner, a Berlin Jew who had seized power in Bavaria: “In Hungary, they [the Jews] furnished 95 percent of the leading figures in Bela Kun’s dictatorship [and were] disproportionately represented among the Communists in Germany and Austria and in the apparatus of the Communist International.” (Donn de Grand Pre, Barbarians Inside the Gates: The Black Book of Bolshevism, 2000)
A vignette of this dread dictatorship was given by Vicomte Leon de Poncins in the Secret Powers Behind Revolution:
Tibor Szamuelly, a known Bolshevik and one of Kun’s “Jewish henchmen,” traveled through Hungary in a special trains that
rumbled through the Hungarian night and where it stopped, men hung from trees, and blood flowed in the streets. Along the railway line one often found naked and mutilated corpses. Szamuelly passed sentence of death in the train and those forced to enter it never related what they had seen. Szamuelly lived in it constantly; thirty Chinese terrorists watched over his safety; special executioners accompanied him. The train was composed of two saloon cars, two first class cars reserved for the terrorists and two third class cars reserved for the victims. In the latter the executions took place. The floors were stained with blood. The corpses were thrown from the windows while Szamuelly sat at his dainty little writing table, in the saloon car upholstered in pink silk and ornamented with mirrors. A single gesture of his hand dealt out life or death.
Time Magazine wrote on May 7, 1928: “To this day Hungarian nursery maids frighten their charges into ‘being good’ with the dread name of onetime Dictator Kun.”
