Merry Christmas Hedger's. Make America great again!
I'm all for that. There's not much left to America's middle class anymore.
Cartoon is missing a Trump-et.
What happened to the reincamels? ;-)
Looney
Why is the biggest elephant in the room....debt....hidden way in the back of the sleigh?
The 2nd Amendment was designed for Knig Obama. It's like those old dead white guys knew a president would come along and think he was king.
Here come the "common sense" gun laws by EO. They will go after ammo, taxing or simply buying it all up. Litigation against manufacturers whose products are used in crimes etc. etc. etc. as we slide into another commie dictatorship. Merry Christmas!
Or force gun owners to have liability insurance and create another scam insurance market like Obozocare did for health insurance prices.
USSA will be the next Ukraine,
and Canada or Mexico can't save it.
Tall Whites Rule the World!

KING Obama, but I guess my typo works too.
LOL! "Knig"
Righty-o Cog, and the bag of inflation is nowhere to be seen...
Bon Nadal,
Spoctor Din
there is no inflation per se, because there is demand only for bare necessities and mandates. When the dollar craps out, because we are broke, we will see the big inflation in the necessities.
"Why is the biggest elephant in the room....debt....hidden way in the back of the sleigh?"
The debt's always been hidden in the back of the sleigh for as long as I can remember. The last 7 years they had to jettison the coal to make room for it.
That isn't debt. That's a big sack full of money.
Oh...wait.
Shhh! Don't pay attention to the men behind the curtain.
In the happy fullness of time, all will be revealed. Keep prepping my friends, the curtain is about to rise and the show is about to begin.
Keep the faith.

It would have been an incredibly epic picture if there were peasants in rags dragging that sled, considering we gots no choice in plodding along the Obiesled.

Dont forget the other taxes like Obamacare tax.
Two events of 1913 - The Fed.
Money conjoured up from thin air and lent at interest.
Income Tax.
If it moves, tax it.
If it doesn't move, tax who owns it.
Both boil down to fraud and theft.
Why does the author think the EPA is bad?
Garrison is a right winger and lives in the mountains like wild russian!
He hunts with his own crafted spears and tips at his lodge like the forefathers did!
Every once in a while he takes wild cut wood pencil to.....aw shit.
Garrison is another gatekeeper like anyone else who becomes famous.
As crony controlled as the rest of it. Environmentalism is big business, wielded to put competitors at disadvantage using suspect science... That, when it's not the tool of just plain, good old fashioned Commies.
Being for the a healthy environment is not the problem. Putting Govt in charge of it IS.
Watermelons..
duplicate.
The EPA is Govt. so it intrinsically can be bought off and otherwise "influenced" to help cronies make money.
Then they also pollute, outright, themselves, see the link below about them polluting the Colorado River.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/08/07/colorado-river-epa-...
They often fail to enforce against big corporate polluters. Corrupt, corrupt, corexit (what ever your Deep Water Horizons), er, uh, I mean corrupt...
Kind of like the FDA often are the ones making us sick, by not carefully monitoring drugs and food, but blocking traditional medicines which anyone can use but it can't be patented, same thing.
This. Where is the EPA on testing Pacific waters and lands for Fuckushima radiation levels? Where is the EPA on the nat gas storage facility in CA that is leaking CO2? Where is the EPA in terms of fighting for China to pay their 'fair share' of a global carbon tax?
The same place the 'women's rights now' groupies are on issues like sharia and women's rights in Africa/Middle East.
Idiot...
They drove our industry to China with overregulation.
Take a look at the environmental quality of China's industrial areas. That's what you get without environmental regulations.
It didn't take much to invite the US traitorous corporations to move overseas,,, $2 per day was nice,,, no environmental concerns,,, no benefit packages and best of all, they could import their cheap crap with no tariffs courtesy of our paid in full government under the guise of "free trade".
Wait untill TPP gets up and running,,, we'll think the aforementioned was a grreat deal in comparison.
Industry went to China because wages were low and environmental controls either absent or under the control of corrupt officials.
Now that the Chinese are becoming consumers and being forced to breath chemical soup, that can't last for much longer.
Parasites always need new hosts when their current one is sucked dry.
Place your bets for who's next in the shearing shed.
(I'd bet on brown, not white)
Africa - AFRICOM doesn't exist for the good of humanitee
Why is the "debt" ko$her money bag so.... small, Garrison?
I would think being unable to pay your public debts and defautling on them thus causing world war and the deaths of billions with your other rothchild central bank money printers would be more important than anything.
Merry Christmas, Tyler(s) & Z/Hers. And thanks for another year of free education, eh. I'll pay tuition if I win the lottery I promise.
:)
Up yours, Mr. Yellen, Greenspan, Geithner, Bernanke, et al.
Merry Christmas everyone.

what is the symbolism of your avatar?
This is called a Valknut.
No one really knows what this means, but it is very old and connected to Odin.
You can see those 3 interlocked triangles on old rune stones.
Very nice. MX to you as well.
Obamacare is crippling the poor idiots who think health insurence is a good thing to have. I guess people deserve it then.
Those hallal reindeer were delicious.
Have you ever seen in ZH any objectivity? Some balance? Have you seen any putin fail cartoon here?
ZH is just as suprising as wet carrot.
special template that you can use to make your own pro-Kremlin op-ed piece. Simply fill the gaps with timely details where necessary
The Western media lies about _____________
Recently the Western media has been crowing hysterically about something Putin or Russia did. Of course they would say that- the Western media always lies about Putin and Russia. Obviously their whole “story” is nothing but information warfare and totally untrue.
We know their claims are untrue because they are contradicted by official statements from the Russian government, which denies them completely. Also, here are some opinions from people we labeled as “political analysts” and other Russian state-owned media which also contradict the claims made by whatever we are arbitrarily dubbing “the Western media.”
Of course if their claims were true, they would still be justified because the US did something like this one time, and that was bad. Putin’s actions are no different than that example, except that it is morally right when Russia does it whereas the US was still morally wrong for doing the same thing.
Also I have to wonder why the Western media even covered this, while not covering this long list of other things that don’t involve Russia. Could it be they have a deliberate agenda to accuse Russia of things she did not do, or if she did them, things that were totally justified?
Here I’m going to pick out the most ridiculous Western commentator I can find, and then I’m going to take his most inflammatory, idiotic comment about Russia or Putin. I’m going to easily debunk this low-hanging fruit, then I’m going to insinuate that his or her opinion represents the entire Western media consensus as a whole, even though a casual Google search would reveal plenty of differing opinions among what I arbitrarily label the Western or mainstream media.
Here’s an example of an article I found in the same “Western media” which supports my point of view. I’m going to focus on this and use this to vindicate my claims, totally oblivious to the fact that if my “information war” claims were true, this kind of diversity of opinion shouldn’t exist in the Western media. I’m also going to ignore the obvious fact that I’m more than happy to cite Western media and believe it so long as it appears to be supporting my point of view.
Now here’s where I explain the reasons why the Western media is constantly lying about Russia. Of course I’ll attribute it to the information war, which certainly exists as dozens of countries and their public and private media are directly manipulated against Russia by the United States. But that’s not the only factor.
The truth is that many Western journalists don’t know much about this subject, unlike me. In order to show my expertise, here are some random historical facts or some things I got verbatim from some Russian “geopolitical analyst,” which incidentally show no special insight into the topic in question, nor do they suggest that I have any more background in the subject than the Western journalists I’m attacking.
Now I’m going to go off on a tangent about some pet cause of mine, and in the process I’m going to praise Putin for his wise leadership compared to my own leaders, whom I can’t stand. I’m going to advance a false dichotomy whereby I label anyone who doesn’t agree with me and my slavish devotion to Putin as a “neocon” or “warmongerer.”
Lastly, here’s an oblivious paragraph where I again decry the mass of organizations I’ve arbitrarily lumped together as the Western media, and then hilariously lecture them on the importance of ethics and independence in journalism. I will bristle at the idea that someone might label me a paid Putin propagandist, simply because I’m paid by the Russian government and I constantly write fawning praise of Vladimir Putin while always taking the Kremlin’s side in any foreign policy dispute.
Long on wind.
Smells like it from here.
Wake me up when the US government get one foreign policy decision right.
Maybe withdrawing the empire's troops from around the world, admitting it is financially fucked,and going quietly into the night of depression and turmoil on it's own turf, rather than bombing/droning/proxying everyone else to keep the illusion alive might be a start?
Putin ain't no angel, but compared with the corporate fascist controlled venal political class in Washington, he is well on the way to sainthood, at the least.
Putin ain't no angel,
why? Point out your arguments.
Putin was a spook. Yes?
Putin was a desk jockey in the Soviet intelligence services.
Why should any country have a 'foreign policy'
If it's another country, it's not the business of yours.
Anyway, who gets to define a country? It's a slippery concept at best.
Psychopaths are the problem - They tend to concentrate in banking and government.
Should make a solution easier once enough people wake up - they'll know where to look.
Condescending asshole.
The truth is somewhere in between. Thats what we help sort out in the coments section. Without force.
Please do your part and prove us wrong. Im looking forward to it.
Without force. Please do your part...
Funny, I don't see him hounding his critics into banishment and silence.
He IS, in the words of Rush Limbaugh, equal time and his perspective helps round things out considerably.
And a Merry Christmas to you tarabel.
The truth is somewhere in between.
is it? Like where was hitler right aboit gas chamber's?
Dont know. I was not there and dont put much stock in hearsay.
Hitler was right about gas chambers when using them to kill lice in clothing and bedding, to prevent the spread of typhus.
As for whatever else they were supposed to have been used for, do a bit of research.
Same goes for ovens.
Do you have any idea how much fuel it takes to cremate a human body?
A clue - LOTS.
Are you trying to suggest that the controlled media in Russia is as fawning and adulatory about their overlord as is the US media with regards to theirs?
But that would mean that the people who swallow the one party line are the same sort of simpletons who eat up the other party line.
Nooooooo.
Merry Christmas to the Latvian outpost of freedom.
Well it makes a nice change from wall to wall 24x7x365 anti-Putin propaganda in the mainstream media/
are you referring to the wet carrot in your buttocks?
Why should ZH or anyone here care about Putin? We have our own leadership problem here in the U.S. We have a President that thinks he is a king, allows his supporters including wall street to break every law on the books, he opens our borders illegally letting in thugs and criminals, he tries to take away our Constutional rights whenever possible and the general media supports or hides all of his actions.
The only time we find out the truth about this adminstration is by opening a blog or newspaper from another part of the world. This blog is one of the few that we can rely on getting the real truth about what is going on in this country and around the world. If you want to cry about Putin, go to NPR, or the Huffington Report.
"Why should ZH or anyone here care about Putin?".
"We have a President that thinks he is a king".
Well for one, there is a direct correlation. Putin cannot be concerned about the internal corruption of the US system and how it affects the average US citizen. What Putin can and is concerned about is the policy of king obama, the chief lackey for the Zionists that own the US military, the US taxpayer and use the US military in their quest for world domination. The policies are intertwined. The American citizen has been neutered and is a non entity when it comes to policy both internally and foreign. For Putin we are free to cripple and damage ourselves domestically, but he does have a say to what extent we can damage Russia and his countrymen. He represents hope for those here who are distraught at the condition of the American Republic. A hope on which is based, that with success in the foreign fields against the NWO PTB, a domino affect may take place that unhinges the gains of the power hungry psycopaths and a restoration to the American citizen of a government for the people, by the people and of the people.
What's up Latvia?
Having a bad Christmas are yer?
alphahammer not talking to yer?
Yomutti v2 done a bunk?
Potato crop failing again?
tch tch
Paying for LNG at four times the price of Russian gas is gonna cramp the budget for fermented potato products.
They'll have to go crying to Big EU Daddy...
The very structure of our current monetary system is to blame for many of today's ills.
Think on this....everyone save's in someone else's promises. My mortgage is your pension plan. My car loan backs some German's retirement account. Every loan and promise to repay becomes another mans 'money in the bank. It keeps growing. Now the promises exceed the amount of stuff there is in the world...at least the way stuff is currently priced.
Soon this must break down. It is past the time when historically things has broken down in the past. When things do begin to fail we will either get deflation in which debt fails massively or nations will just continue to buy bad debt and flood the world with base money...the way it has always happened in the past at least when the currency was fiat.
Some say we should return to the gold standard but too many people understand the failures of those schemes.
A new way for gold to function is already in play. The ECB uses gold as a reserve, marked to market. With the dollar still alive and well the significance of this is hidden. It will become obvious when the dollar fails.
Picture a dollar at half its value and gold at double its current price. The balance sheet of the ECB is now very healthy in dollar terms. Picture now a completely failed dollar. Now there is only one asset on the ECB balance sheet, gold.
What is gold worth then?
This is worth some thought.
'This is worth some thought.'
It is why we stack.
Why does the ECB have gold reserves, while in case of the Fed the ownership of its gold was tranferred to the Treasury? I read the Fed received gold certificates in return. Are these not redeemable for gold ?
The Fed was founded on fraud.
The bankers who criminally conspired to defraud the world did it so that they wouldn't need any gold initially, just print enough worthless crap and buy real assets with it.
Altruistic at best but appropriate for the season, I'll give you that, lasvegas.
What institutions offer returns on savings and investments after we subtract fees, hidden costs of living increases or shrinkage in volumes & quantities in packaging for necessities? We must include housing as well. The masses are being forced from the suburbs and back to urban centers and rental (fuedal) units (Agenda Whatever coming to a region near you).
Furthermore the unstated premise for this argument is that there will be a broadbased return to the barter system. Gold may be precious as a rare earth currency but gold is not a necessity for sustaining life, nor is it readily transportable. Instead we can expect the appearance of the next iteration of fiat currency (SDRs) and continued commodities markets rigging. The groundwork for that has been underway for some time. All money has been digitized, encrypted and put under someone's control.
Also underway, and moar to the crux of your argument, the inevitable tracking, logging and future seizures of independently held stacks. The black market is the main enabling vehicle for gold, so that will be crushed. We can take that to the bank. The only thing of tangible value left will be the tools for control - potable water, gas & wheels, electrical generating equipment, weapons and consumables. A less obvious black market for radios, phones, bullets and computer parts may offer a future alternative to gold in a Mad Max kind of world.
Wishing peace on earth in the coming months and years for all who pass thru here. Keep up the dialogue.
Merry Christmas to all at ZeroHege, Tyler lets get some more hoody merchandise!!
Obama's name should have been on one of the sacks.
Actually, just his head in a sack would do.
I must dmit that Obama has been the proverbial pig in a poke and his presidency an outright joke had it not been for the misery he has caused America.
Merry Christmas everyone.
And a Happy New Year to you as well.
Merry Christmas
From me too to all Zerohedgers and Tylers.
Have a merry Federal Holiday.
Attempting to fit folks into one team/package is futile. Human behaviour is far too complex to brand under the one umbrella.
An example, i'm strongly in favour of a safety net for the young and the elderly however if someone breaks into your house you shoot first and ask questions later, not waiting to see what tools they've brought for the job.
Obama says Ho Ho Ho and the people are saying Oh Oh Oh.
Another President like this and America will be done for good. Then again he has about 400 days to go so he might finish the job off himself depending of course on what the puppet masters have in mind.
If you are White you need to either bow down, crawl and kow tow, or you can stand up once again and make our forefathers proud and reestablish Capitalism and our repulican form of government.
you were downvoted by testicle licking democrats and other haters of the USA
Honestly if you go by the US track record in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East in the last 100 years, the fact that the US has military bases in over 130 countries intimidating their populations with their installed chiefs etc forcing them to use uselss US$ etc, you may understand that the world is fed up. Hate is not the word. You could possibly use the word "DETEST'
i think i better go trade some more fiat for some .9999pure pet gold & silver rocks
as I have said before, "LIBERALS ARE FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT"
Chewie, I mean Michelle, I mean Michael. The clock is ticking until you no longer live off the public tit. So I know you've got at least $100 million more in vacations planned so you better get bustin.

Insight - The True Origins of Kwanzaa, Hanukkah & Christmas
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUDT1L2Iy9I (37:01)
Red Ice Radio
Published on Dec 19, 2015
In the multicultural west we are told to say Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas or these days Happy Holidays as to not offend others. Lana tells about the true origins of newcomer holidays such as Kwanzaa and Hanukkah. Where did these holidays originate? Are they original? Why are they also in December, like Christmas? She'll also talk about the true origins of Christmas, which is entirely borrowed from Yule, the pre-Christian European celebration of the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas are all imposters, culturally appropriating from the ancient European Winter Solstice celebration. Learn about the myth, symbolism and tradition of Yule.
The name on the door for today is Christmas. Its historical origins aside, it has become the heart of truth, peace and love and goodwill, totally based on a biblical truth that none have been able to refute.
It was in America it has become so powerful that it became identified with the culture. And that’s the reason for the assault on Christmas by atheists and the other two holiday imposters, Hanukkah and Kwanza.
Hanukkah was generally an unknown minor Jewish holiday for children and Kwanza was a totally black culture invention. Not only that, Hanukkah creates an oxymoron when we are forced to celebrate it simultaneously with Christmas because one celebrates the birth of Christ and one denies the birth of Christ, and is practiced as an alternative to the birth of Christ.
Anyone can see that the recent rise of the Hanukkah celebration is a Jewish/atheist attack on Christianity.
Yet the media would have us believe that it is the evil Muslims who censor Christianity.
Oh, yes. Isn’t it the Muslim ACLU that’s responsible for Christians not being able to say “Merry Christmas”? Oh, yes. If it weren’t for those Muslims we wouldn’t have the rotten ACLU trying to take away Christmas.
Cock, cock, cocksucker Obama! Mr. President, go fuck yourself.
With all due respect of course.
The name of the sled should be "Empire fascist"
Biggest laugh I have had all Christmas, hell no, all year....
