You know its rotten to the core when...

"Lois Lerner, the former IRS official whose office gave improper scrutiny to Tea Party groups seeking tax- exempt status, won’t be charged with contempt of Congress.

>>>Outgoing<<< U.S. Attorney Ron Machen disclosed the Justice Department’s decision in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner dated March 31. Machen is resigning Wednesday as the top federal prosecutor in Washington."

http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/lois-lerner-not-charged/2015/04/02/id/635936/

...one final act of "legal" desperation to protect your boss' ass before he is rewarded for his loyalty to the Deep State with a new position at Goldman Sachs or the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum & Howe.

Burn it.

WB7:  Need a picture of a beaming Obama holding a "fact" sheet of the Iranian framework in his hand, with a ginormous "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him.  Maybe some gnomes of Kerry and the Iranian negotiators brawling in background, and Putin and various Middle East Shiite leaders giving attaboys to the Ayatolla leader of Iran for a job well done!

Or a picture of Obama-bin-lyin' dressed in his tradional Muslim clothing, after what Iran said about him after the press conference that he is lyin' to Congress and the American people.

September 16, 1920

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_bombing

 

Attack[edit]

At noon, a horse-drawn wagon passed by lunchtime crowds on Wall Street and stopped across the street from the headquarters of the J.P. Morgan bank at 23 Wall Street, on the Financial District's busiest corner. Inside, 100 pounds (45 kg) of dynamite with 500 pounds (230 kg) of heavy, cast-iron sash weights exploded in a timer-set detonation,[4]:77sending the slugs tearing through the air.[5] The horse and wagon were blasted into small fragments, but the driver was believed to have left the vehicle and escaped.

The 38 victims, most of whom died within moments of the blast, were mostly young people who worked as messengers, stenographers, clerks and brokers. Many of the wounded suffered severe injuries.[1]:329-330 The bomb caused more than $2 million in property damage ($23,500,000 with inflation[6]) and destroyed most of the interior spaces of the Morgan building.[7]

Within one minute of the explosion, William H. Remick, president of the New York Stock Exchange, suspended trading in order to prevent a panic.[8] Outside, rescuers worked feverishly to transport the wounded to the hospital. James Saul, a 17 year-old messenger, commandeered a parked car and transported 30 injured people to an area hospital.[9]Police officers rushed to the scene, performed first aid, and commandeered all nearby automobiles as emergency transport vehicles.[10]

Reaction[edit]

The Justice Department's Bureau of Investigation (BOI, the forerunner of the Federal Bureau of Investigation) did not immediately conclude that the bomb was an act of terrorism. Investigators were puzzled by the number of innocent people killed and the lack of a specific target, other than buildings that suffered relatively superficial, non-structural damage. Exploring the possibility of an accident, police contacted businesses that sold and transported explosives.[11] By 3:30 pm, the board of governors of the New York Stock Exchange had met and decided to open for business the next day. Crews cleaned up the area overnight to allow for normal business operations the next day, but in doing so they destroyed physical evidence that might have helped police investigators solve the crime.[1]:160-161 The New York assistant district attorney noted that the timing, location, and method of delivery all pointed to Wall Street and J.P. Morgan as the targets of the bomb, suggesting in turn that it was planted by radical opponents of capitalism such as Bolsheviks, anarchists, communists, or militant socialists.[1]:150-151

I saw some newspaper articles on a wall at a business that focused on wall street recently. The items included time magazine covers and stock certificates of Enron and other notable companies. The Main focus was dates ranging from the 20's to the crash of 08. One front page article was regarding the events of 9/16/20. Amazing how history repeats itself over and over. The individaul responsible for the above took his time and fled to italy, never to be charged.

My wife and I took our first vacation ever two years ago (apparently the only one) and took an epic tour of the US east.  One guided tour was of wall street and the guide mentioned the bombing and showed the still visible scars on the walls.

The guide was NOT very PC...so I asked when he thought the next one would show up.  He didn't blink "any second and the fuckers deserve it".

well, you certainly could have made money listening to them! a. ableson is missed by me. There are such a mixed bag of signals out there, only way I can figure it, is imf sdr for the serfs, with the nomenclature cheating as always. The drying up of california is an anchor point for me, we -are- heading for depop.

The drying up of California is high up on my radar screen.

What does one need to conduct truly massive indoor farming 24/7 and who has the necessary raw materials (soil, energy and H2O) at the lowest possible price?

farmdominium, Omega Gardens in Vancouver. http://www.omegagarden.com/ Condos on the outside, robotic farm on the inside.

Vertical farming (aka food sky towers) scaled up, then scaled out as suggested in the movie 40 POINT PLAN. (please don't get hung up on the Buffetmeister, one concept of NECA is that it doesn't use taxpayer money)

Hmmmm, it was free to watch up until recently. He does comp digital copies, ew@40pointplan.com

p.s. movie maker Eric Williams is also a musician in... SoCal !!!

here is this part of california we get most of our vegetables from mexico and central america it seems. the greenhouse is nonviable because it concentrates the suns heat. crops which require full sun should only get about half of that, or they dry out. the best small gardens are those which are protected, the commercials manage by overfertilizing, one of the locals specializes in cutflowers, mostly sunflowers, they grow fast and it pays better than vegetables i guess. there are lots of organics, at good prices, and quality, so some small garderners are doing alright.

WB, that experiment is ongoing in Northern California, and expanding greatly. Not one huge greenhouse 24/7, but multiple large greenhouses (I fly a lot low and slow in NCal, and the increase in greenhouses, usually side by side, has been really startling the last six years). Some are seasonal, but some run 24/7. The fallout with the drought is more emphasis on water conservation, and the local and state environmental folks (Fish and Game, etc) are really gettinng on it. Biggest problem right now is that it is a monoculture, pretty much, but the switch to drip irrigation and other water conservation techniques has ramped a great deal this last year after various task forces started making on-site inspections in some of the most stressed watersheds. Interestingly enough, they are not after the dope, they are trying to get folks to minimize water use, and stopping the damning up of the smaller tributary streams, etc. There is a large increase in additional water storage tanks, filled in the winter (we still get some rain in the winter) used to minimize draw during the August to September(ish) max stress on the creeks (and Salmonoids) time. There is also a modest increase in wine grape production in the north, whitch is becoming a boring monoculture to counties south of us, and have their own water use problems.

I have several non-dope growing neighbors who are growing a shitload of vegtables in moderate sized greenhouses with very low water footprints and no stream diversion - just from their own modest sized springs.

It CAN be done. When dope finally gets legalized and the price stabilizes, I suspect at least some of those greenhouses will find growing veggies in one greenhouse and dope in another to be reasonably cost-effective, but I may be wrong about this. The reason this could happen is that veggies out of the Central Valley are gonna get more expensive with the upcoming water rationing and raising of the cost of water, which is a given starting this summer.

That is interesting,

But I suppose it would be a very tall order for that mode of agricultural production to blunt a crisis caused by our huge and misplaced dependence on the factory farms.

It takes a crisis ;-)
