See below - Greenspan saw walstreetpro and was terrified enough that he accelerated his b.s. flow hoping that twice as much b.s. will make him twice as safe.

 

Remember - everything hinges on Europe and their debt.  That is the source of our crash.   Not Greenspan, rigging gold, the bullion banks, blowing debt bubbles, and the fiat money / central banking system.

obama's half black, not a muslim (imo) and not a communist.  to call obama a communist requires such a divorce from reality that psychosis becomes a real possibility.  unless of course what you mean is an authoritarian, like lenin, stalin, mao... but also like hitler (sorry godwin), pinochet, franco ....  

obama is a hideously corrupt lackey for the "crony socialism" of the very rich.  and a war criminal and ... but that's another story.

i saw it summed up well: when obama is called a monster, john wayne gacy is insulted.

Obuma's mother and father were both communists.  The old saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" makes thinking he's not communist a real challenge. Take a look at his associations and people he hired with taxpayer money.  Van Jones, his Green Jobs Zsar, had to resign because of his communist connections.

Wayne Madsen reports

 

Wayne's report is a pay for view service and the following is a small excerpt from it.  Wayne writes that not only is Obama gay but it names favorite clubs and a gay dating service run by Rev. Wright that Obama and another young man in the congregation used.  The other young man was later murdered.  According to WMR, Rahm (the boy ballet dancer) Emmanuel is also member of the gay club.
  
Begin Excerpt
 
 
"May 24, 2010 -- SPECIAL REPORT. Obama and Emanuel: members of same gay bath house club in Chicago
 
President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bath house in uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago's gay community, as well as veteran political sources in the city.
 
The bath house, Man's Country, caters to older white men and it has been in business for some 30 years and is known as one of uptown Chicago's "grand old bathhouses." WMR was told by sources who are familiar with the bath house that it provides lifetime memberships to paying customers and that the club's computerized files and pre-computer paper files, include membership information for both Obama and Emanuel. However, sources close to "Man's Country" believe the U.S. Secret Service has purged the computer and filing cabinet files of the membership data on Obama and Emanuel.
 
Members of Man's Country are also issued club identification cards. WMR learned that Obama and Emanuel possessed the ID cards, which were required for entry."

Wiki;

Harlequin, an often gay, cocksucking troll on the internet. Never well liked and has severe mental issues. Even their parents were repulsed by the sight of the harlequin child.  The famous beranke PHD proctologist has delivered many of these children into the wild field of banking and politics. The harlequins' quest for cock is still a mystery to the medical community. The CDC warns that all should avoid the harlequin and their desire for continued cockfest activities.

Payback?

I have news for you. As horrible a situation we are in, the U.S. is in far better shape than the other major countries and regions of the world. Europe's banking system is levered up even more than ours, with fewer resources to handle their problems. The Euro and the European Union is about to be swallowed into a black hole thanls to the fascist/socialist systems put in place for the last century. China's real estate bubble makes ours look like a soap bubble. That country may devolve into civil war, or outright invasion of another country once their proverbial pile of crap hits the fan. And Japan has been in their collapsed economy for over 20 years. Meanwhile, we'll merely lose our reserve currency status.

If this is pay back, heaven help us if Righteous Vengeance and Furious Anger show up. Because we're last in line, and you are near the front.

In the end China can still buy oil with products, they have all the factories after all. The EU and Japan have a far lower trade deficit to GDP ratio than the US (although Japan is going to be in the shit while consumption moves away from the US to other countries, since they are not food independent). What does the US have? Saudi Arabia giving them oil for free because they fear Iran and reserve currency status.

Of all the major economies the US is least able to pay for it's standard of living in actual trade ... losing reserve currency status is going to be murder for the US.

Ok Silver Bully, to clarify, when I say payback I don't mean that you (America) deserve it. I mean that this is the inevitable consequence of doing nothing whilst everyone pegs to your currency because in the short term it is beneficial to you. And there is no denying that due to this credit and the 'strong dollar policy' that again, no one seemed to complain about there were more cars on the roads in the US than there were eligible drivers to drive them. I'm not aware that these clowns were complaining  back then, and you can bet your sweet ass they would be the first to complain if that same credit were removed by any government for their own long term benefit. Fact is that that no one seemed to complain too much about it because they were too busy bragging about how much their house value had gone up.

Fact is that 'Any numb cunt can criticise...' and I believe that's absolutely correct in this case, but then how many have done anything about it? What's this guy done?

Buy gold, buy silver? I hope you get to keep it, but my gut feeling is that when the tax bill finally arrives for the only asset class still standing these same clowns will wonder why they bothered. And if I hear of just one more tosspot with a financial plan that involves giving up his life in a gun fight over gold and silver I swear I'll fucking puke!

'Righteous Vengeance and Furious Anger' Hell I deal with that shit everyday, but I still don't see any difference as to why a bankrupt California should be able to underpin a federal debt issue anymore than I see why Italy should contribute to an EFSF so that it can buy Italian bonds.

You will fare no better than anyone else, and far worse than many...

  1. Silver Lyrics – to the Tune of “Silver Bells”

    Silver Bells

    City sidewalks, busy sidewalks .
    Occupy Wa-all street-style
    In the dollar no feeling, of Dodd-Frank
    Banksters detest
    People’s protest
    Dollars falling in style
    And with gold sixteen-fifty you’ll hear

    Silver bells… silver bells
    It’s Precious Metals time in the city
    Ring a ling hear them sing
    Soon it will be Christmas day

    JP Morgan
    Keeping Silver
    Even keel with it’s stock,
    It’s a wonder they
    still have their heads on
    Hear the snow crunch
    Don’t relax much
    Blood flows in the streets
    And you really think silver
    stays ’round 35?

    Silver bells, silver bells
    It’s Silver Time, in the Metals
    Ring-a-ling, hear it sing
    Soon it will be Silver Day

    Soon it will be Silver Day

Well; I know there are at least two men with balls left in this country. It's sad that every one in the media has sold their sole to the one tenth of one percent. They don't give a damn about their grand kids.

Bingo!  I was on another site and they were talking about made in China hand tools and also metal drilling rigs etc.  Shit just shattering.  The Chinese "thinned out" rebar on building to save money.  Shitty steel mixes too at lower then spec temps.  Bad stuff.

Hey, you get what you paid for.

It is so funny that Americans pay bottom price, but always want the highest quality.

Yeah, right, the pie will fall from the sky. 

what a joke!

How do you know its Chinese?

I bought a sledgehammer once and guess what, it didn't come with instructions. That's ok, it seemed pretty obvious, hit the fucking thing hard with the end, not the shaft...

Keep smokin' the shit dude; I'm sure that probably came from China too...

But it was funny as fuck though, kind of like," where's me 'ammer gone"...

I was using a junk screwdriver and a piece broke off the end while, what else, screwing in a screw, and flew off and hit me dead on in the cornea and left a hole. Boss later told me I should have been wearing safety glasses and I asked him whether he always wore safety glasses when using a screwdriver, even at home, which he ignored. I then said I'd wear glasses if he'd "...quit buying cheap fucking Chinese tools from Harbor Freight..." and walked out of his office.  Used my own tools from that point on...
