Europe Finally Comes Out: Obama's Reelection "Uber Alles" Determines Europe's Future
For those to whom this comes as a surprise, following the periodic jaunts of Tim Geithner to Europe explaining just what is truly important in life, not to mention Obama's daily phone calls to Mario Monti, we feel truly sorry:
- EU-IMF REVIEW OF GREEK DEBT SITUATION SET TO BE DELAYED UNTIL AFTER U.S. ELECTION - EUROPEAN OFFICIALS
And the punchlines:
- "Obama doesn't want anything on a macroeconomic scale that is going to rock the global economy before Nov. 6," a senior EU official told
- "As far as European leaders are concerned, they don't want Romney, so they're probably willing to do anything to help Obama's chances," said the source, an EU official involved in finding solutions to the debt crisis.
One kinda wonders: just what has Obama promised a broke Europe in return? Don't answer: it's rhetorical. It's also "fair."
At least it is finally clear that the entire world's agenda is to get Obama reelected, broke Athens municipalities no longer collecting garbage, and running out of cash to pay the local Five-Oh notwithstanding.
Get ready for reality to come crashing down once the second coming is completed on November 6, and surreality is no longer needed.
Full article confirming that the entire developed world is now not only broke, but socialist as well:
An EU-IMF report into whether Greece's debt is manageable looks set to be delayed until after Nov. 6 because policymakers want to avoid any shock to the global economy before the U.S. election, EU officials and diplomats say.
The report by the 'troika' of Greece's foreign lenders -- the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund -- was expected during October, possibly before a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Oct. 8.
The study provides the basis for decisions on whether to disburse the next tranche of aid to Athens, which may otherwise run out of money to pay wages and pensions, default on its debt and perhaps be forced to leave the euro area.
Differences inside the troika about the precise extent of Greece's debt problems, combined with political pressure to hold off for another few weeks, look likely to mean a delay until mid-November. In the meantime, Greece will be kept afloat by issuing short-term treasury bills and its banks will get access to emergency funds from the Greek central bank.
"The Obama administration doesn't want anything on a macroeconomic scale that is going to rock the global economy before Nov. 6," a senior EU official told Reuters, adding that previous troika reports had also slipped.
Several sources in Germany said top officials in Washington had made clear in numerous conversations with their German and European counterparts that they would prefer no surprises before the tightly contested election.
"It's likely the troika report will be pushed back beyond the U.S. election date," said a Berlin official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Asked if that was a special request from Washington, he replied: "They don't want any surprises."
The European Commission's spokesman on finance said on Friday the troika would take a week-long break from its work in Athens, the second time it has interrupted its mission since it began in late July, adding to expectations of a delay.
"The inspectors are expected to return to Athens in about a week," spokesman Simon O'Connor told reporters.
"As for a conclusion of the mission, I don't have any dates to share with you," he said, adding that it should be some time during October. "We can't say exactly when."
If Greece is off-target by a wide margin, as many economists predict, financial markets will react negatively, concerned that another round of debt restructuring will be required to get government finances back on a stable footing.
A negative troika report could also revive pressure to force Greece out of the single currency area with potentially devastating knock-on consequences for other European countries and the global economy.
European leaders have the same interests as the U.S. president in not destabilising markets -- their own economies have also been badly affected by the fallout from Greece, where the sovereign debt crisis began in January 2010.
But one source said EU leaders' motives went beyond macroeconomic stability. They also had political reasons to avoid rocking the boat before the U.S. election.
"As far as European leaders are concerned, they don't want Romney, so they're probably willing to do anything to help Obama's chances," said the source, an EU official involved in finding solutions to the debt crisis.
The problem for Obama is that if Europe's leaders are seen, implicitly or otherwise, to be working to bolster his reelection chances, it could provide ammunition for the Romney campaign.
European leaders have repeatedly been accused of acting too slowly and in a confused way to resolve the crisis, with a knock-on negative impact on the United States. If they are now seen to be allying with Obama, it could dent his popularity.
So dear Greeks, Spaniards, Portuguese, and all other soon to be broke nations, who are stuck not knowing if you will ever get a pension payment, if the money in your bank is safe, or if there is nobody to collect your garbage, thank the US president.
Also: buy every December VIX call option you can find cause the feces sure are gonna hit the fan once the BS is finally over and truth can no longer be delayed.

What are you talking about?
I read your comment three times and I can't make any sense of it.
Put your beer goggles on first.
What alternate planet have I landed on?
It's interesting that the EU didn't hesitate to point their finger at the U.S. Obama/Geitner must of put the hammer down.
One last thing. If you don't think Obama would want positive "macro economic" events happening before the election, you're a fool. Yep Tyler, there's a storm coming after the election.
You know if things get as bad as they can get.........I think those buying gold could be in for a big surprise. But then again you don't really know what's going to happen but there's plenty of people that want to tell you. Oh well, I have 6 months worth of Spam and canned vegetables, if things get to the point I have to use the entire supply im pretty sure im just going to shoot myself fuck it.
have a beer rsnoble...
Tell us where your spam is buried and shoot yourself now.
Almost seems like a planned outcome. Obama always can use the NDAA to keep everyone in line. Print and devalue is the theme. If people can't afford to eat elsewhere, oh well, it's all for the greater cause.
The new war is currency devaluation. Who can devalue the most.
Arent you glad you know this and can plan accordingly? I feel sorry for the 95% of this county that doesnt see that ton of bricks falling on their heads.
95%? I think you're being very generous.
"The new war is currency devaluation." - Where have you been?
"Mr Cool versus Mr Shoot First Ask Questions Later." who says you don't have a choice America!
will the markets price in the crash....before the crash?
Any republic whose majority is ignorant enough to elect Obama deserves to be destroyed which of course will happen after they re-elect him so he can finish the job he started. Then perhaps the pheonix can rise from the ashes.
This article has caused me to make a decision about this election.
I am going to vote for Obama.
Lets crash this motherfucker already! The sooner the better because the sooner it crashes the sooner we can rebuild it and shed the dead weight. Im in my 40s right now and might just live long enough to see my grand kids have a decent country if we elect obama again and cause the world to tail spin into depression now rather than elect Romney and glide into depression.
Think of the children! Look guys, we're kind of fucked, but we can make the world a better place for our grand kids by electing obama, crashing the economy and then rebuild it without as many parasites.
If you disagree with this idea its probably because youre still high on hopium and still think there is any possible way to prevent the absolutely inevitable collapse of our society. There aint.
Im voting for obama and buying lots and lots of PMs.
I agree Obummer will crash this thing quicker, but I'm not voting for him. I'm not voting for Mittens either. I am going to write in Ron Paul's name and send a message to those fuckers that I don't accept the status quo. I have no doubt Obummer will win, but I sure as hell won't pull the lever for him.
I wouldn't pull the lever for him either. Mittens is not going to be president. The nation will pretend that Obama does NOT have a track record to examine and then will support him. Some people say writing in a candidate is throwing away your vote. My perspective is voting for either Obama or Mittens is throwing away your vote. Its too valuable for me to waste it on either one of them.
Write in Ron Paul. Let O'bomb-a be 're-elected' so he can take full credit for the coming crash.
Those PMs aren't going to do you much good when the brown shirts show up. Fuck you, Mr. Obama troll.
They'll get my lead before they get my gold.
Why not make a statement and write in Ron Paul ? That's a vote for Obummer anyway and you get to show how you are fed up with the bogus "two-party" system...
I voted for RP in the primary. I havent voted for a D or an R since Ive been old enough to vote. My first presidential vote was for Perot. I hate Ds and Rs.
But this time its different. Im tired of the slow agonizing way this scenario is playing out. Im tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Im tired of the uncertainty.
LETS JUST GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!
Vote for Obama and bring this fucked up, retarded, bloated, parasitic system down.
I've an idea...let's bet all your money on a flip of the coin: Heads, I win; Tails, you lose.
Hmmm...don't want to play? I ask you then: why vote?
“I cannot believe that the purpose of life is (merely) to be "happy." I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter: to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.” —Leo Rosten
"Think of the children! "
That's a great thought, and a very noble one. But then I look at the children. They are fat, lazy, completely plugged into some electronic form of entertainment 24/7, and probably have no idea that this country was once a republic founded on liberty and freedom.
Actually, they do know but rather have their food stamps anyway.
Just consider the possibility that you may be voting for the last time.
Would you have voted for Hitler given the opportunity?
It's almost like we have a global government.
The triumph of aspiration over perspiration.
If it walks like a duck and craps like a duck....
All hope no change.
We got his fucking change, what the fuck are you talking about? Look around. The sad thing is 50% of the country wants more of it.
50% of the cuntry deserves everything they are going to be getting when TSHTF.
This is our country now: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/more-americans-added-food-stamps-find-jobs_652837.html
when we are all on the same boat we only want one guy to hold the rudder; and the vote is out from AUstralia to the Halls of Montezuma; they prefer brown neo-Plantagenet to White neo-Capetien.
Looks like future humanity will look Brazilian and sing like Harry Belafonte!
After we've crossed that MAJOR hurdle we can discuss trivial matters like the debt tsunami amongst members of the squid family!
Who can doubt the the Oligarchy world 'de facto' government is not on the same page?
Bottom line : America's political elite is decided by other considerations that "blue" vs "red".
This is serious stuff! Just like the conduct of war cannot be left to the brass hat band, the conduct of nation-state politics cannot be left to LOCAL political tantrums.
De-capet-ate?
Duh, that's why there's a CFR.
I never saw any black trash collectors .... until they got those new automatic trucks that do all the work .... and those Equal Opportunity hires .... making 100K plus the "full benny" package ! When the slimy islamofucks calm down .... let's double down with more hate video and cartoons ! Hit 'em hard when even they are demonstration weary .... then do it again .... and again .... ad infinitum ! It's like training a dog to shit outdoors .... even though I don't let dogs nor muslims in my house ! A gift idea from the mind of Monedas ! My Mom approves this message !
Your racism, religous bigotry and mendacity are most unattractive and quite worthless in any informed discussion. Try posting to FauxNews.
You're being racist against racists. Does anyone ever pause to consider their feelings?
Are you trying to be my friend ? My Mom would have enjoyed your crack about being "Niggerized" ! When we were kids she took us to see the Grand Coullee (sp?) dam on the Columbia river ! My older brother (now a libertarian rogue operative) was wowing about the wonderful government that would build such a dam .... and my mom bitched slapped him down about the horrors of big government ? She makes me proud !
Grand Coulee.
Lake Roosevelt provides irrigation for pretty much all of eastern Washington.
Enjoy your wheat, wine, and apples.
Mendacity ? "The quality or state of being mendacious."....Webster's Hey, I'm a red neck .... you know .... a white man who works outdoors .... a proletarian who can't afford sun screen !
If we had a real press in this country, the question everyday to that lying sack of donkey shit called the "White House Press Secretary" would be, what did Obama promise these people? Of course he'll either lie and say "nothing" and/or "we won't divulge details of an ongoing negotiation" as if the president isn't working on the taxpayer dime.
But such is the world where reporters don't try to differentiate themselves and are content with access to important people.
What direction is this going? Is it like the Marshall plan after WW II where there was no turning back? We'll pump money into the EU/world economy to keep this tugboat afloat. What kind of gov't aside from "world" gov't be able to sustain this placenta from hell?
Relax. Obama just "promised", which we know means fuck all.
hahaha! good one.
If you are a private sector person in the EU, and you actually still consider your govt's moves first to make your financial decisions, then you deserve what's coming to you.
"For those to whom this comes as a surprise, following the periodic jaunts of Tim Geithner to Europe explaining just what is truly important in life, not to mention Obama's daily phone calls to Mario Monti, we feel truly sorry:"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamintation of their women." Conan
+1 for the awesome Conan quote!
The crap will hit the fan alright. I'm just hoping it's not bloody diarrhea.
Why does the 3rd Reich come to mind when I read shit like this.....
Hitler= Romney/Obama
Bernake= Joeseph Mengele
What we are living in is WORSE THAN COMMUNISM....ATLEAST COMMUNISM IS HONEST BOUT THE SHIT THEY DO....
All socialist/ marx lovers banned together. Isn't that nice.
The answer is simple.
1. Declare debts owed to banks which lend based on a fiat/fractional reserve basis as odious and null and void.
2. Nationalize ownership of the federal reserve banks - fire everyone who ever worked for a bank that took a bailout.
3. Assess guilt and culpability.
4. Dispense punishment.
3.5 Assemble guillotines.
NOT QUITE - EUROCRATS ARE SAYING - THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESTRUCTION OF EUROPE MUST REMAIN IN POWER UNTIL EUROPE IS FULLY DESTROYED...SOMETIME IN 2014-15
If Obamao is re-elected, he can blame the guy who held office the previous 4 years again. Oh, wait....
Not at all surprised that the "in" crowd at GS is providing a united front... which is impressive given that none of these thieves have spines!
"it could provide ammunition for the Romney campaign." Romney 'campaign'? You in the back...if you don't stop laughing, i'll have to ask you to leave.
Interesting take in this thread regarding VIX (as well as having read the ZH DISCLAIMER).
The long-term theory goes is to get out of this casino right? We KNOW volume is all-time historical lows, HFT's rule, and we have witnessed outright theft of customer/client accounts.
I understand the premise of the argument regarding VIX, but wouldn't it set up a perfect opportunity for TPTB to once again take the other side of the bet?
I actually closed my brokerage accounts because it takes a TON of work to make just a little bit of money (but better than banking rates). I have a day job, and the 1% returns, sometime a little more isn't worth it for me. However, I do believe Obama WILL be elected, even though I think both him and Romney suck (not to mention 500-plus bought and sold jackasses in CONgress).
My question is: Wouldn't Obama's election calm the VIX and keep it stable? We know everyone's broke, and is it the premise of Fed intervention going to Europe THE factor for increasing the VIX position?
Any competent response and analysis is appreciated in advance.
You're probably right that we're more likely to be in for some post-election calm. The suggestion that the S will HTF by December expiration seems premature.
As for the "casino"... There's a big difference between the OTC derivatives everyone loves to hate, and exchange-traded options such as the VIX calls mentioned in the article. For options traded on the major US exchanges (CBOE, ISE, PHLX, et al), the Options Clearing Corp. acts as a central counterparty, clearing and settling your trades, and guaranteeing that exchange participants fulfill the obligations of their option contracts.
That's not to say that a sufficiently large SHTF event couldn't blow things up completely; but TTBOMK no OCC-settled contract has ever defaulted because of counterparty risk, not even in the darkest days of 2008, or the flash crash of 2010.
Careful with VIX calls, though. It's not necessarily that TPTB are out to get you; but because of the nature of the instrument, these things are not as good a volatility hedge as they may appear at first.
Keep in mind a couple of things: First, volatility is mean-reverting. Second, VIX options are European-style, meaning that the seller can't have his short calls exercised before expiration. Therefore, when the SHTF, rather than buying back his shorts he has every reason to hang on and wait. So your long VIX calls may not appreciate quite as much as you'd hoped.
It really is a shame, and upon recognition far worse, to see how events unfolding are undermining what was once a great country.
I think it still is, however post modern life is far more difficult to navigate than the many are capable of navigation.
Beware the dictator with the answers.
Do you want proof that the Federal Reserve is just an order taker?
The Fed is so irrelevant, it's become like a toilet bowl that everybody shits on.

I wish the US dictatorship would just come out of the closest, so the rest of the world wouldn't have to keep putting up with this bullshit.
Wouldn't be nearly as entertaining for the rest of us to watch, though. Trying to spot the faint glimmers of truth in US Govt statements is sometimes the highlight of my day - especially as it's often like the Times crossword; hard to solve and painfully cryptic.
well stated.
You won't have to wait too much longer. We will vote for him in 2016. It'll be a rough 4 years along the way.
Romney sucks. And these clowns (Bernanke, Draghi, et al) would have done the same fucking things for McCain had he been elected.

If I were Iran, I'd just let them see whatever they want to see, and suggest Israel open its own sites. It's about the petrodollar and removing support for Syria/Hezbollah so Israel can occupy Lebanon and ethnically cleanse Palestine more swiftly and easily - but most people seem to think it's legit for us to be pulled into a war by a tiny parasite client state who is threatening to bomb a country for failing to stop doing what it is already not doing, but which the client state has done itself for years.

And maybe they could explain why anyone with a geiger counter could stroll by the Israeli Consulate in NYC and see how much radioactive signal seems to be coming from that area.

They wouldn't store a small bomb there to threaten US leaders and/or do a false flag to pin on Israel's enemy du jour, would they?
Makes one wonder how many other 'last resort' devices are present in embassy buildings, doesn't it? I'd consider it a fairly safe bet that the US has either a small nuke or a big thermobaric weapon in one or two of it's more critically located embassies. And I wouldn't be at all surprised to discover that India and Pakistan have the matter covered in both directions.
I've always thought that was a possibility. I also felt that it's possible there are bombs placed strategically around the U.S to keep us under control.
There's been a distinct change in tone from Iran over the past couple of days. They really have had enough of the whole situation. I'd say they're getting close to calling Israel's bluff. The US should shut the hell up at this point and tell the idiot in the Knesset do the same.
--
--
The diplomatic gloves are coming off, this is a particularly blunt warning.
--
--
Iran has not said something like that before. Basically it's delivering Israel, USA, Europe (and IAEA) a direct warning that if you attack our nuclear processing sites, weapons storage sites, or missile bases (i.e. again), we will be proportionally attacking yours in reply.
So we have entered a new phase of actual quid-pro-quo escallation and counter-strikes.
The more the US-NATO and Israel incite Teheran now, the less and less effective it is likely to be at deterring Iran, or causing them to 'comply'. The coercive economic and diplomatic strategy of the US Treasury and State Dept has basically collapsed in failure now. Iran will not do anything the US wants from here on, but it is prepared to do things the US does not want.
--
--
What this indicates is that (of course) Iran had an elaborate counter-intelligence strategy fully worked-out, and implemented during the prior 14 years of possession of the Enrichment tech from Pakistan (supplied in 1989), and long before the IAEA saw the assigned nominated 'civil' nuclear facility operations. So an elaborate subterfuge was built-in, from the very beginning in forethought of these things, to limit the comprehension of Western Intelligence, and to cause them to conclude mostly what Iran wanted them to conclude.
That is all standard practice fare for a nuclear proliferate operating under the NPT, which by the way has been a brilliant cover for proliferation activities. The only thing better for enabling cover for proliferation has been an IAEA civil safeguards and monitoring regime. These have been extensively manipulated by multiple nuclear proliferators in the past (Australia is the grand wizard of this approach to the NPT and IAEA), so don't think Iran's doing something unusual or novel here.
--
--
What is being said there is plain, Iran has major nuclear capacities and operations that the US and Israel and IAEA still don't know about, and Iran will not be telling them about it, because it's not a civil program. I have said it before, one of the best covers for a military program is a parallel large scale civil program (that can even be downgraded or abandoned to suit diplomatic needs and to buy time)
But Iran has now decided to come out of the closet about this, as a deterrence factor. And it's a pretty compelling one. Having read about how other countries have systematically fooled and mislead US intelligence and the IAEA in the past, I have no doubt Iran is saying something rather meaningful and quite real here.
Basically they're saying, we have the bomb, and we have and arsenal, and have had it for some time. This has allowed Iran to offer up part of its program to monitoring an allowed the dedicated weapon-core production program to continue in the background.
Iran would not dare to reveal such things if this were not so. All that is missing now is an underground nuclear test, and I have no doubt they have prepared for the possible need to conduct one. And in fact they will be looking for a pretext to withdraw from the NPT and to hold one.
So any armed incitement now, that leads to direct military or even economic attack/confrontation, can now lead directly to NPT withdrawal, IAEA exclusion and a nuclear test within months.
Iran is now simply fishing for an opportunity to do it and change the geopolitics of the entire region.
And Washington's leadership is now so low-grade and disconnected from reality that it'll blunder on in failed policy, until Iran does this. Because once Iran announces it's leaving the NPT, that's it, that is the direct admission they already have a viable deliverable nuclear arsenal. The three months notice to withdraw is just a technicality then, as any suspected or detected breach becomes a moot point.
And given Israel's famous propensity for pre-emptive attack, you can bet the Iranians are ready, mobile, dispersed and ready to go within minutes.
Game, Set and Match to Iran ... very nicely played, real pros.
Wonder if Japan/China got the same memo.
damn edward bernays
We're already bailing out Euro and Euro banks. Not that the mainstream media or Congress would bother mentioning it...
We're already bailing out Euro and Euro banks. Not that the mainstream media or Congress would bother mentioning it...
Obama would insure that it continues. He loves the Bernanke. If you wonder why no one questions Obama if he would keep Bernanke it's because they already know he's giving him carte blanch on destroying the dollar.
Obama is going to lose, who wants to bet?
Not a chance! He looks better on TV than the other 'tard.
Personally, I'm wondering what the odds are of him being 'assassinated by a terrorist' some time over the next four years. Set it up the right way and you could push through all kinds of totalitarian policies with that one.
He's gonna make the Bush-hate feel like love.

maybe we'll just have a fuck-tard moment and decide to unleash a holy crusade against the muslim world because they hate our freedoms so much and all rally around obama after they finish torching our embassy's around the world. just a thought

No US tax payer (aka Fed funds) for the slimie EU countries.
Obama will send you to Hope Camps, transfer the wealth of the American people to foreign banks, and use the threat of 'terror' to justify the abrogation of your remaining civil rights.
Romney will do all that too, right after he outright puts the US Military and Economy in the hands of Tel Aviv and his Ziocon Masters.
Enjoy!
Just what has Obama promised a broke Europe in return?
It’s obvious: after his first term it is to let the Federal Reserve Bank of New York do whatever it wants, completely, without interference.
The NY Fed operatives pick U.S. officials in all of the financial sections of the U.S. government, all the Wall Street regulators, and all the financial winners and losers; and whatever Romney’s intentions, he may not be that dependable.
What else in this entire world hinges on this presidential election? Well, it’s the Muslim protests, the Fed manipulation of stock indexes, Europe’s bow to Fed dominance, and, now, the hopes and dreams of the mad warmaker, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Within hours of his selection as Romney’s running mate, Paul Ryan was on a plane headed for Las Vegas to tap the unlimited dollar reservoir of Sheldon Adelson, the frantic billionaire who wants American foreign policy to be subservient to Israeli foreign policy: more settlements, more Israeli expansion, Jerusalem as the Israel’s capital, and of course, military action against Iran.
This presidential election is more about Israel than the American people. The Zionists “October surprises” have been happening weeks ahead of time -- instigation of riots throughout the Muslim countries, publication of timed release of videos such as Innocence of Muslims and now a French magazine’s depiction of a naked Mohammed, the depiction of Obama (the most pro-Israel president in history) as an enemy of Israel by the U.S. Zionists neo-cons, and, of course, the incredible staged action of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu intent on world War III ignited by a U.S. Empire already engaged in the 9/11 fostered War on Terror.
This comment by Lieutenant General Shaul Mofaz, an opposition leader and former Defense Minister addressing Netanyahu directly in the Knesset, sums up the situation:
“Over the past few months, Israel has waged an extensive and relentless p.r. campaign with the sole objective of preparing the ground for a premature military adventure.
“This p.r. campaign has deeply penetrated the ‘zone of immunity’ of our national security, threatens to weaken our deterrence, and our relations with our best friends. Mr. Prime Minister, you want a crude, rude, unprecedented, reckless, and risky intervention in the U.S. elections. Tell us whom you serve and for what?” – Letter from Tel Aviv, The New Yorker, Sept. 3, 2012 edition, p 23.
Having lived in foreign lands under both military dictators and socialist pigs, I can say honestly that I don't think most Americans have the slightest idea how bad things can really get. I've seen unrest that few Americans have ever known. I've been held hostage and been the target of angry mobs. I've been contacted by CIA agents and had soldiers thrust the barrel of a rifle against my chest and inch from my heart.
We Americans have taken our freedom and our prosperity for granted so long that we have become largely complacent to the risks. We are rapidly approaching a police state. I'm now seeing things that I have seen before in other places that I never dreamed in my worst nightmares would ever manifest themselves in the United States of America!
Barack Obama and his progressive philosophy is THE greatest threat to individual liberty of our lifetimes. If he becomes a lame duck, there won't be enough left of America in four years to even call "America" any more. Our enemies will consider us weak, our economy will collapse under a weight of debt that will destroy us, and our people will wonder in a stupor what happened. We have become our own worst enemies!
These words are not the observation of the Red Terror, of the house to house searches and the firebombings of the 40s; these are the warnings of this moment, the dangers of today. Less than a generation separates us from the violations and injustice of the world war, yet war has never stopped and, now, the United States trembles on the brink of a police state.
Who can say that the boot of tyranny will not come here and soon? The first step we need to take is, with all our breathe, to deny Obama and the people he fronts for, another term. If Romney follows in his footsteps or worse, then that’s our next order, to stop him!
Aren’t our marching orders clear? How much more information do we need?
We are rapidly approaching a police state.
America is ALREADY a Police State, you just weren't looking.
Fast & Furious:
For the first time in American history, a sitting AG has been permitted to 'retract' statements made under oath. Down here among us peons, that is called 'perjury! '

Hold off of war until after the election.
News flash:
50% of this stupid cuntry doesnt give a shit about anything but their welfare check and will be voting accordingly.
They care about other things; ASSCAR, NBA, NFL, their fav college teams, the Kardashians, American Idle, Honey Boo-Boo, American Chopper, X-Factor, Massengill, gay marriage, "free" healthcare, soda size, smoking bans, Snookie, and OctoMom. How can you say Americans don't have their priorities straight?
We could be pets or food, But all we really are is livestock...
I thought you boys understood. There ain't no countries anymore. No more good guys. They're runnin' the whole show. They own everything, the whole goddamned planet. They can do whatever they want!
They Live
Spastica Rex, I accept your peace offerings .... see above about 20 posts !
Why does everyone think that everything will fall apart on Nov.7th? Let's be logical here: If Romney were to win, all hell would break loose, right? So then, it stands to reason that if (when) Obama wins, markets will soar to new heights.
I fear that Obama's victory will bring euphoria to the markets, not because it will make sense, but simply because it will bring more "hopium" to the markets.
Europe wants Obama to get re-elected, so what makes anyone think that his win won't spike the markets? Getting their wish will allow European "leaders" to keep playing the same game for yet four more years.
ZH readers should know by now that you just can't kill the beast.
In some ways, I would like to see a Ro-money win. That would get the inner-city riots started quite promptly, since it would be rayciss to not re-elect O'bomb-a. :-)
All priced in
What kind of blithering idiot would even WANT to get (re)elected President at this moment in time? Whoever sits in the Oval Office for the next four years will be remembered in history as the guy on whose watch the whole world order fell apart.
This kind of guy: “We are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!”
--President Barak Obama, on October 30, 2008, as a presidential candidate speaking to a crowd of 35,000-40,000 at University of Missouri
“What that means, then, is, is that as we try to resuscitate this notion that we're all in this thing together, leave nobody behind, we do have to be innovative in thinking, what are the delivery systems that are actually effective and meet people where they live? And my suggestion, I guess, would be that the trick -- and this is one of the few areas where I think there are technical issues that have to be dealt with, as opposed to just political issues -- I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution, because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot.”
– statement made by Barack Obama in 1998 about government's role in creating a society where” everybody has a shot”
Samuel L. Jackson made a surprising confession in the March issue of Ebony.
"I voted for Barack because he was black. Cause that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them," Jackson said, according to the New York Post.
He contended that Obama's message wasn't important, since he believes most politicians will say anything to get elected.
I recall the Europeans going ape over Obama's victory in 2008, they were crying, cheering, the women were drooling, the heads of state were giddy.
Finally their dreams realized: The End of Whitey
A tad premature but still...
Repubs now need such an exceptionally high share of the White vote to win (because Whites are a diminishing share of the electorate), that Jorge W. Bush, Peace Be Upon Him, may have been the last faux White President.
The Supreme Court is one appointment away from being Bolshevik, outright.
Throw the Bill of Rights in the garbage and get ready for the White Middle Class, is there much future for that term, to be the payers of ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY.
Romney cannot win this election because a sizeable percentage of the White vote is going to Obama, White Wimmins love that Brutha.
The old America has voted itself out of existence. It isn't coming back--ever. We have passed the point where that can be considered a credible possibility.
You still have 45 days to buy as much gold as you can before Nov.6...
If we reelect the buffoon, I'll be discussing the break up of the US like I discuss the breakup of the EU. Not "if" but rather "when."
