I think they work quite hard to enslave us. Their line of work might turn out to be the most dangerous job in the world (tar and feathers and all). They work hard, they just have a different moral compass, an evil one. But they have done well in programming the masses to lose, by accepting their "money".

I'm not sure thats in his job description at all.   I think he HELPS PEOPLE through their suffering, if they ask for help.  But prevention?  That would be like God interfering in sporting contests!  Ri-dic-u-lous.

If you had read your Bible for yourself rather then listen to someone else, you would know, God was their King, and it was the People who cried out for a man to be "King", as they always have. 

Their was only one "divine king"  to walk the face of the earth and we crucified him!

I don't care if they're communist, democratic, republic, they're all evil kings!  Government is your enemy, and all tolerable governments are governments who fear their people, not the other way around! 

Because ONLY God is Good and only God is looking out for you!

When these Kings soon decide to divide His land and return Israel to it's 1967 borders the clock will begin clicking. It wont be long before He gathers them into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and we once again see this Divine King as a Roaring Lion.

Vengeance is the Lord's and the Meek will inherit the Earth!

GEORGE HARRISON

Art Of Dying Lyrics

There'll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

There'll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you've learned the art of dying

But you're still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
There'll be no need for it

There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the Art of Dying
Do you believe me?

Lyrics taken from this page

If it makes you feel better, I posted a comment last night (in response to Publicus and his theory of abiotic oil) ... and it went missing after it was up for a bit. It was a youtube on how oil is formed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e44ydPIQGSc

I didn't freak out, because I suspected it is a general issue that becomes more prominent when load goes up.

At one time, I ran a website one time that did 100k to 150k pages a day. When they dropped it in my lap, it was crashing and restarting every 15 SECONDS. It took me months of tracing down all sorts of issues and fixing them to improve load handling.

I am sure ZH does what they can, but when everyone in the finance industry, who normally doesn't troll ZH, wants to know what the fuck is going on, they probably drop by hear to see what is posted. Realize most folks in finance are quite happy with their lot in life and don't want to entertain ideas that maybe they are complicit in the gigantic fucking on which our wonderful nation has been on the recieving end. Or maybe, like some scumbag realtor who is too busy ripping off his clients, freaks out and wants to know what is interfering with his gravy train.

A book by Thomas Gold, "The Deep Hot Biosphere," published in 1998, posits that there are life forms
(such as suggested by Dr. Jolivet in comment #2) that are able to thrive in a subsurface environment as deep as 10 kilometers or more. Very hot, high pressure, etc. A test drilling in Sweden in the early 1990's, about 4 km deep in igneous rock, found microbes and other life forms, supporting Gold's theory.
His main goal was to test the concept that coal and petroleum aren't fossil-based, but are continually generated from methane gas and other chemicals in the crust. 
Russian and Ukrainian scientists were among the earliest to do deep-drill explorations in this quest. The last couple chapters speculate on origin of life here and in other places in the universe. Quite interesting book. Perhaps the future sampling of Lake Vostok will shed some light (no pun intended) on the topic.

And isn't it any wonder why we see methane gas as well as CO2 on other planets and moons in our solar system. Wouldn't be surprise if we drilled and found oil out there too. Talking about total mind fuck.

I have adblock ... and I am AK time so I was here "late" last night ... the site was acting up then, but there was a lot of stuff hitting/posting, so I think their load was going up even though it wasn't US business hours.

I figured they either deleted my comment (not likely) or they had to roll back some transactions in the database (why? who knows!) and my post got tossed. All I know is I saw it up after I posted, so I know it round tripped properly - but was gone a few minutes later.

Hopefully, by the end of day they'll lose their ass and be forced to say, "Hmmm, we really need to change those algos."

If anyone says 'nobody could see this coming; they should be -

1. Taken out at dawn

2. Shot

3. Family gets an invoice for a) the ammo, and b) the wages of the shooters.

Good luck shining up this turd... remember China will open again.  On the brights side copper and oil might end up being free at this rate.  We have war risk too (another explosion in Japan and a bunch of other stuff last night) supressing gold is about to get really phucking expensive.

DOW was sitting on a mountain top.
30,000 feet to drop.
Tied me on a runaway horse
Uh huh, that's right, of course.
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!

One day, I met a girl named Janet.
She was the savior of then planet.
I'm Kevin, the kind of guy
Who can't stand to see a little girl cry.
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!

Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Gooooooo!

I was riding on a Dark Pool scene
Got a message from my FED RES queen.
She was hanging on a fishing line.
Mr. Yellen didn't waste no time!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!

Once upon a time, I went insane.
Got a ticket on a DC plane.
Mr. Henry didn't need no chute!
DOW was high and ready to boot!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, Kevin Henry! Go, Kevin Henry!

Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Kevin Henry to the rescue!
Go, PPT! Go, PPT!

Let me guess.   The following steps of us gov to stop plunging.

1. outlaw shorts

2. have fbi arrest agrressive shorts

3. Tell the media to spread the news that patriots must buy stock to fight against foreigner attacks on our financial system

There is no market. This is not a struggle of a free market. Along with PPT, it is set of speculators betting and fighting against each other causing massive collateral damage.. Monday close will give some clues.

At the same time, my friend Silver is getting its ass handed to it.  The gold/silver ratio now stands at 78.6.  So as we marvel at indices that trade at 50-60 times forward earnings on average, we may also be amazed at how cheap silver is relative to gold, given the historical ratio of 16:1.  Both will correct.  One already is starting to, it seems.
