Good but the English accent made me want to puke.

Its not my fault that I can't listen to anyone that has an English accent. As an English major I have converted all English accents in the hundreds of English novels that I've read into the accent of the Q99X2. Through great effort I have changed history and forced the English to conform to my understanding. Most except for the accent, a few Queens and Kings with cloven hooves, pedophile oligarchs and banksters have successfully been converted into something civilized. Listening to Max Keiser helped too.

Winston is correct! I lived in Wigan for 6 months and only understood maybe 1/10 people. It's an accent even my co-worker from Birmingham could not understand. I would just nod and smile yes to them as I did my work there.

Geordie accent has to be one of the hardest to understand.

A good friend of mine was brought up as a child in Newcastle before moving to South Wales.

When we were in US, I ended up pretty much being his interpreter!

We were in a bar in rural Pennsylvania - the barmaid asked me what language he was speaking.

That reminds me of the conversation Leonidas had with Xerxes in 300.

Everyone has to decide to do what is right or what is easy and comfortable.

I hope those who've lost their comforts don't give up.

Xerxes had six fingers and toes per hand/foot, and a much larger skull.

I wish Hollywood could have portrayed Xerxes as the Nephilim creature he was.

It's all in the format.

I get a kick whenever I see any (and almost every) MSM story about a significant market event still using pics and video clips of panicked floor traders and exchange brokers as a backdrop. It’s as if to suggest these people still represent some meaningful example of how our markets work today, or ever were responsible for assessing and deciding the impact of world events on markets (has anyone but me ever thought these guys with nametags on their smocks kind of resemble auto mechanics and the nighttime cleaning staff in their office building). They even went as far as planting Rick Santelli and his Rants on the floor to try and convince us they’re plugged into the hub of market action and decision making.

Show me a half hour of activity on Goldman’s bond trading desk, and the percentage of trades done by mindless computers everyday. That’s the truth I want to see on CNBS.

The majority of people doesn't care about all that or is too dumb or too afraid to have an interest. Instead, people want to entertained. They don't entertain themselves, they want TV, religion, gadgets and toys and sports and other mindless forms of entertainment do it for them. Cause it is safe, it feels warm, it makes you feel good about yourself, like you are part of something or unique. TPTB facilitate that. Cause it helps them to keep people where they are. They don't need well informed and educated masses. They need mindless sheep that consume what they produce for them. But remember, they can also take it all away if they want to.

3) Be so ugly that they would cause mass uprisings and suicide.

4) Be incomprehnsible to their viewer 12 year old mental profile.

It must be like within government, diplomacy, advertising, spokesmen of all kinds. etc.....'the truth' is a laughably naive term which would never enter into the converations of grown up professionals.

Europe is still experiencing some awesome aspects of socialism, like universal free health care and education . Also they seem to be way way behind on policemen shooting citizens - in fact, anyone shooting anybody.

Growing up there I was a promising but desperately poor lad. The state noticed this ,picked me up out of the gutter and paid for as much education as could absorb. Equality of opportunity they call it.

My wife had childhood polio and needed years of attention to get full functionality. The state saved her life and didn't send a bill.

Believe me, socialism is not a four letter word.

Can Evil Be Defeated..?

"US prison labor is now the cheapest form of labor available with prisoners paid between 93 cents and $4.73 per day. Prisoners make office furniture, work in call centers, fabricate body armor, take hotel reservations, work in slaughterhouses, manufacture textiles, shoes, and clothing, process agricultural products like milk and beef, package Starbucks coffee, shrink wrap software for Microsoft, sew lingerie for Victoria’s Secret, produce the military’s helmets, shirts, pants, tents, bags, canteens, and a variety of other equipment, make circuit boards for IBM, Texas Instruments and Dell. Sew McDonald’s uniforms, and perform labor services for Boeing, Motorola, Compaq, Revlon and Kmart."

"Americans are distracted by sex, entertainment, the difficulty of providing for themselves and for families. They are locked into the disinformation that sustains the American Matrix, blinded by their patriotism and the 4th of July speeches and by their indoctrination that Americans are “exceptional and indispensable.” And, of course, by their ignorance and arrogance. Americans simply have no clue...."

the Fed is using this power of the publics fascination with nominal numbers to justify ZIRP, since interest rates set at half the rate of inflation are devastating to savers, as long as the nominal rates of both are low, there's no problem, say 2% return on investment versus 4% inflation, but if you move those numbers to 5% return and 10% inflation the public outcry is deafening. the fed is already showing reluctance to raise rates, their lagging indicator is where Fed policy is going to be for a long long time. Bernanke has said he really doesn't like TIPs, because they offer an alternative to losing 100% of fix income returns to inflation, and then paying taxes on top of that. you can buy TIPs and the government has to give you back what they are stealing. no fair says the Bernank!
