I don't understand what the problem is with sugar baby websites. Its consensual right? Land of the Free and everything? As long as it destroys this fake imposter America from the 1950's where shaved face creew cut Ward claevers run rampant... We might see the rebirth of America sometime soon because God knows it died about 100 years ago.

They say central banks are needed to promote stability. Yet, when something happens, like a greek default, or a foreign bond market collapse, it destabilizes the globe.

So much for promoting stability! Central banks clearly are destabilizing the world!

That the Europeans and US and basically everyone allows their banks to lend out so much money is the problem. Because the banks then gain the leverage on the country to enforce payment through geopolitics. By keeping interest rates low, implicitely backing failure, and allowing private banks to provide debt to people who can't possibly pay, they are indeed destabilizing the world.

"That the Europeans and US and basically everyone allows their banks to lend out so much money is the problem. Because the banks then gain the leverage on the country to enforce payment through geopolitics."

When you're saddled with a debt-based fiat currency system, it's not a question of allowing your banks to lend out so much money, it's a question of if you don't continually expand your debt, you can't grow your money supply. Of course, all of that new debt requires servicing, so it's entirely understandable how eventually nearly everyone ends up broke while the banksters end up owning nearly everything. As long as we have debt-based fiat currency, we're screwed from beginning to ending, it is literally impossible to ever win in the long term unless you become a bankster; of course, once everyone is a vampire there's nobody left to feed on, and then the inevitable collapse and reset happens.

I don't know what you mean by ground realities. No disrespect to Indian people / culture (referring to the country) but I think the later is largely inscrutable to westerners. India also has a much worse population problem, gdp per capita, domestic religious battles etc. (nuke neighbour squabbles) as compared to china. There's no real obvious reason for US to want to get deeply into bed with india other than lots of cheap disposable labour (a chunk of it well educated) and big market for cheap crap.

In the quest of America worship, Indians shun all spirituality and identity, family, discipline - everything, all for false validation of the ego through various mediums and a perceived betterment of the soul through this great "progress" we are making with the screens and machines.

"Aspire to be like this person, copy their attributes and desires, their actions and words", says the media. "Gladly", the people comply. Monkey-see- doo-doo, monkey-doo-doo-doo.

Those aspirations - they are not founded in the making of things, the fostering of skills, but rather in the blind consumption of what is validated to be "good" for you by a centralized information-regulating source.

When people stop making things out of their own will, saying things out of their own will, telling their own stories...

Maybe you don't. And it's not like you want to celebrate Independence anyhow. Or else you would make a real point of doing it and tell your masters to go fuck themselves rather than whining about how degenerate everyone is.

You should spend more time out in the Heartland.

Out here, I'll be making the rounds of parties, shooting off fireworks and probably guns, and there's no cops for thirty miles around.

They're all in town watching that you and the rest of the made-in-China toy-buying paper pushers don't get out of line.

So go through the security gates, pass by the dog handlers, and stand in the park with no beer in your hand while you watch the government shoot off rockets for you because it isn't safe for you to do it yourself.

But don't pin your royal "we" on those of us who are in fact both expressing and celebrating our independence today.

The dream lives on, just not where you choose to live.

News flash buddy, I live more out in the sticks than you do. 

 

You seem to think that being allowed to drink beer and shoot off fireworks makes you 'free'. Nevermind that your location is constantly marked and tracked, every phone conversation recorded, every email read. You can get blown away by some cop on a power trip and your family will never recieve justice. You have your wealth stolen from you every day, and there's nothing you can do about it. 

But you're 'free'. How? You say you are, and in your universe that makes it true. Apparently, being able to shoot of you're own fireworks means that you're not really a slave, the boot of state isn't really against your neck, and that you aren't in all ways fucked. 

 

Do not presume to lecture me. You are not a free man, never were, and never will be. If your delusions make life more comfortable for you, then so be it. Take the easy way out.

Even though you are quick to label me as "not free", I note that you have failed to categorize yourself.

Since you provide a long list of ways in which the country is not to your liking, I find myself wondering what you are doing to ameliorate this state of affairs.

Happy Independence Day to those who realize that standing up even in the tiniest way is the first step on the road back.

And Happy 4th of July to you.

So....there's NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, EUROZONE, TPP, IMF, WTO, NATO, Trilateral Commision, the Multinational Corportacracy, the International Banking Cabal, and the Bilderbergs. 

 

Yep...the New World Order is complete.  All that's left is just clean up and details.  And the occasional war to keep the masses at bay on the wrong side and entertained on the right side.

 

Happy New World Order Day everyone.

With the existing myriad of trade agreements, the tariffs are already very low. TPP will do little to boost trade. What TPP really is is that it's a rule book written by representatives and lawyers of multinational corporations for the benefits of the corporations. It's just another stepping stone to supra-national corporation rule. Every country involved, including the U.S., will be screwed royally by this so-called trade agreement in the future.

What will China do? It will simply negotiate bilateral trade agreement with each individual country that participates in TPP, which will benefits each nation instead of the corporations. For example, China just signed a free trade agreement with Australia after 10 years of negotiation.

Welcome MILLIONS of immigrants, legal and illegal, from China, we are sure you will be REAL Americans!

July Fourth Fear: Can Free Speech (And America) Survive A Minority-Dominated Supreme Court?

The late June run of decrees from America’s senior legislative body, ludicrously misnamed the Supreme “Court”, have inflicted on America the most appalling news of serious threat in many years—definitely not since Pearl Harbor allowed the Roosevelt Administration to get its way and plunge the country into World War II.

In effect, the Supreme “Court” has facilitated a coup d’état by Obama’s Minority Occupation Government. The inevitable reversing of these measures could well take many years and the effect within families and across generations is likely to be terribly divisive and destructive.

So the important question is why has this catastrophe occurred?

I suggest the reason is quite simply the ethnic composition of the Court.

The Texas decision was forced through by a black, three Jews, and a Puerto Rican.

It is sad that Clarence Thomas, whom within the last month I have heard described by a former Federal Judge as the best conservative on the Court, has this ethnic animosity against the South and against Confederate symbols. But he has. [An Intense Attack By Justice Thomas On Cross-Burning, By Linda Greenhouse, NYT, December 12, 2002]

As Paul Gottfried demonstrated for us in A Jewish Conservative Wonders: Is Free Speech Really A Jewish Tradition? Jewish communities have never had a tradition of favoring free speech in general—as distinguished from being concerned to be able to express their own concerns. With Justice Kagan, for instance, this was clear long before she was nominated.

It is deeply important that the recent YouGov poll reported powerful majorities amongst Hispanics as well as blacks for banning “Hate Speech”—meaning, as a practical matter, criticism of their communities. [Half of Democrats support a ban on hate speech, by Peter Moore, May 20, 015]

Ok, I guess I wasn't thinking about the Big Cities like NYC and LA where they concetrate. Where I live almost all illegals are either Hispanics who walked across the border or Africans of some sort --- Ethiopians, Somalis, Nigerians, etc -- who simply let their visa run out and never go back. However, I have heard there's a hangout of illegal Vietnamese somewhere but I've not sure I've seen any.

Your point concerning the “ethnic composition of the Court” is so significant that it is literally the weapon that is destroying America’s founding culture.

America’s Founders primarily were Protestants, with Protestant morality, but the Court does not now have a Protestant justice. Instead rulings such as for same-sex marriage can be directed against a once cohesive society built by a like-minded people. And destroy it.

How can these radicals be processed through the Congress and confirmed as Supreme Court justices: ACLU lawyer Ginsberg, Lesbian activist Kagan, anti-white-male feminist Sotomayor, and Israel-firster Breyer?

The reason is that the Congress no longer works for the American people. It takes its money and its orders from the money printers. That’s why Republican Orin Hatch will ignore his Utah constituents and the rest of the American people and allow these radicals to pass through his Senate Judiciary Committee (member and former chairman), straight to the Supreme Court.

The history of Chinese innovation during the current boom is miserable. Eighty percent of China’s major firms do not have R&D at all. One reason may be it has been so easy to rent or steal needed foreign technologies. But there may be even more important — if difficult to evaluate — cultural factors.”

“Psychopaths are unable to form emotional attachments or feel real empathy with others, although they often have disarming or even charming personalities. Psychopaths are very manipulative and can easily gain people’s trust. They learn to mimic emotions, despite their inability to actually feel them, and will appear normal to unsuspecting people... When committing crimes, psychopaths carefully plan out every detail in advance and often have contingency plans in place. Unlike their sociopathic counterparts, psychopathic criminals are cool, calm, and meticulous.” - Psychology Today

Need a job? The US government is hiring jack-boot psychopaths and sociopaths to do their totalitarian fascist work.

It's easy to run hundreds of billions in trade deficits when you have the world's reserve currency and you can con the world into buying useless paper.

No Independence Day celebration will ever be the same now that Elena Kagan is on the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling against the Founders’ culture. For it was Kagan in her confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee who refused to recognize the Declaration of Independence as a founding document.  

Kagan, who disputes any authority of the Declaration of Independence, favors not only the legalese of the U.S. Constitution but is proud to model herself with another country’s chief justice, Aharon Barak of Israel – a country that has no constitution.

As an antagonist to America's heritage, for example, Kagan is a dependable vote for striking down European white culture such as her vote for same-sex marriage.

Kagan was such a guaranteed and confident vote for homosexual marriage that, in addition to Justice Ginsberg, she had performed same-sex marriages before the final decision came down.

What kind of government does America have, what kind of July 4th celebration can she have when her Congress appoints an open opponent to the significance of the Declaration of Independence as a final ruler of law?

What kind of government puts a leading ACLU lawyer and activist, Ginsberg, on the court, and a feminist and Hispanic-issue radical, Sotomayor, on the court?

I love you "founding fathers" lovers who think they would line up with today's right wing-nut's views.  Read some history.  Jefferson saw no place for any hint of religion in gov't.....NONE.  Washington led an army into W. Pa cause they did not want pay the FEDERAL TAX ON HOOCH.  Adams defended the Redcoats invloved in the Boston Massacre....and they were found not guilty.

 

Resuurect the Founding Fathers and you might be in for a rude awakening on how they would come down on gun control, abortion, ect.

That's nonsense. America's Constitution, of course, does not favor a religion, it favors the free exercise of religion. To imagine John Adams favoring abortion, pornography, same-sex marriage, open borders and gun control qualifies you as a producer of Hollywood revisionist history documentaries.

And would Adams, Jefferson, Hancock, Franklin and all the other signers of the Declaration of Independence be inclined to return and suggest their names now be removed from this founding document because it has been repudiated by Supreme Court Justice Kagan?

My advice to you, put a limit on your imagination.

I agree to an extent.

 

Let's not pretend the founding fathers were altruistic gentlemen or saints.

 

They were men of their time. Ambitious, cunning, slave-owning, money-soaked, hard-drinking, womanizing scoundrels is more like it.

You raise good points JR, with Justice Breyer there is 1/3 of the Supreme Court Jewish, it is a MINORITY MAJORITY Court.

There are NO members of the Founding stock of America, the White Protestant.

People KNOW something is VERY, VERY wrong, but they don't understand how and why it happened. Luckily a brave Professor laid it all out for us:

The section on what happened to Charles Lindbergh how a genuine HERO went into TOTAL DISGRACE after the J-Tribe did a Mel Gibson on him, is well worth the read:

Preface to the First Paperback Edition (PDF)

And the HTML version:

And, Skip, Who Controls America? Who Controls the Supreme Court?, a reliable source, says Sotomayor is a Sepharic Jew (Mestizo), making the Court 44% Jewish.

Well the important thing to always remember is that if a Jew could infiltrate the Syrian intelligence section in 1954, they can pass, in most cases, as ANYTHING. It would not surprise me to learn that Sotomayor is part J-Tribe.

Whites don’t act that way. Whites, behave honorably even towards our enemies. We tend to be generous, trusting, and truthful. The direct opposite of The Enemy.

What the average White person MUST understand is that the J-Tribe is TRULY a tribe, or a race, with a COLLECTIVE mind, frankly, posing as just a religion. A religion with the resources, and forward thinking to undertake a decades long breeding program to enhance their genetic fitness.

The Robert’s Supreme Court are fascist cultivated TRAITORS to our American democracy and our constitution. The court is subject to, and serves the fascist takeover and the New World Order that the fascist (merger of multinational corporate monopoly with government) secret trade deal delivers.

The fascist secret trade deal will morph the Washington Empire of Debt, Fraud and Chaos into the New World Order Empire of Debt, Fraud and Chaos that will have laws that supersedes American sovereignty as a nation, Congress, Supreme Court and American Laws; it’s a total fascist takeover by bankster criminals.

The Robert’s Supreme Court are secret FASCIST.

Democracy: government of, for and by the People.

Fascist: government of, for and by the monopoly multinational corporations.

Fascist are totalitarian that rule with their boot on the neck of their subjects. You are no longer regarded as an individual human, but as a subject to a higher order; specifically a debt slave subject to the fascist corporate masters. Worthless debt slaves will be too much liability and will be eliminated to trim the corporate profit line. How about American sausage, made from really fat Americans and old people; wouldn’t that fulfill their fascist corporate fiduciary responsibility without morality toward humanity or our Earth?

 Barack Obama inherited financial collapse, deficits, and debt. He inherited a broken political culture. These things weren't his fault. But through his decisions, he made them all worse. Editorial, June 3, 2011...

Guess who wrote that. It has a ring of truth doesn't it? Written by Peggy Noonan who was aide to Reagan during his presidency before become an editorialist at the WSJ.

On this July 4th its worth delving into that damning phrase "a broken political culture"...

But like Septimius Severus Barak O  is Caesar and his origins are of minor importance compared to the symbol of the purple mantle he wears which is to serve "the broken political culture" blindly. History rhymes!
