A Peaceful, Stress Free, (Lack of) Labor Day Open Thread
Two weeks ago we had a "bear market" open thread in which we lamented the arrival of the recession, or the resumption of the depression, depending on one's proclivity for dramatic flair. It took the rest of the world about two weeks to catch up to what our commentators already knew. Today, in turn, we want to celebrate a peaceful, calm, (lack of) labor day holiday following which we are positive the markets will reopen calmly, in an orderly manner, with modest volume, declining 3M USD Libor, a collapse in the Libor OIS and with no invocation of Rule 48 whatsoever, by opening it up to our readers' very cool, calm, collected and politically correct stream of consciousness.

Mr. Durden,
1)GET A JOB! but the high tech jobs are in China and India
2) BUY GOLD - but 5 big banks(including a canadian bank, bank of nova scotia) control the actual price of gold
3) TAKE A LOAN - but banks control LIBOR, TIBOR, SIBOR, EUROBOR bank-to-bank interest rates
4) If your left handed use your left, if your right handed use your right, faster self improvement when you use the same hand you write with.
5)It is a cycle, recession, prosperity, if everyone was a winner, the stock market would be as flat as interest rates(look at the real estate market). Just as a few big players control the currency spot, the bond market, the gold market, your all playing into their tricks(call me crazy), but there will be prosperity, just how winter, spring, summer, fall, winter continue.
6) In the end of all things, hopefully you realize, being self-reliable is the greatest treasure, instead of coming home watching tv, join a gym, ride a bike to get their, get built and date hot women. Start a business, start a revolution, and evolution. Don't be a internet financial gangster :(
I am Jack's Left Hand

God Bless Them Each And Every One.

Surfing on the "Big Island", a retired guy from my old neighborhood said to me, "it seems like everybody is trying to fuck everybody else on the mainland". I decided that night to sell everything and move to Maui and surf the rest of my life away...............bye

very large owl

moloch?
tip e canoe,
you were one of my first ZH friends, and you remain among the best.
i am certain that jerry's kids can count on you this labor day.
i don't even have to ask.
janus
likewise buddy, always enjoy your particular fondling of the phrase, you have quite a gift for storyweaving. will be spending labor day toiling in the fields, helping a farmer save his crops from the flooding that happened cuz of Ms. Irene. so if jerry had some wayward children that transmuted their feet into roots, consider it done.
sometimes an owl is just an owl and a cigar is just
a cigar. but i see this particular owl and its
timely arrival and departure as a divine message
representing "being". the bird arrived at dawn and
departed at sundown, it did a day of being right there
on that branch, just for us, the universe. and there is more
to the story but it is a long and tiresome story concerning
discord between neighbors and the "tree". so, quickly, the owl
bridges the divide, in its being, it has that power.
.
i will take this opportunity to avoid the controversial
common misinterpretations of the symbolic significance
of the animal kingdom offered by church scholars and luciferians
alike.
.
to me the owl is the owl of being, true being. wise,
patient and powerful.
.
this is not a symbolic owl but a real fucking owl!
true, being owl. watching and waiting
wise words no~eyes, have had a few owls (both real & figurative) cross my path lately. have come to see their presence as a positive sign, as if they've come as guardians of the spirit and to help chase those pesky scavengers away who seek to eat all the crops before they are given the opportunity to blossom & fruit. of course, this is only my own personal metaphor that i choose to use, YMMV of course & always. thanks for sharing the video.
and i have little doubt that even the blindman will find his way to a small act of charity and compassion come monday...am i in any way mistaken?
you know who
compassion? what can i do for you? just let me know
and i will give it my best.
.
but you have to be careful with the compassion thing,
this i think i am learning. you walk on sacred ground
there, the karma is instant and there are no do overs.?
.
the bonds and scars may be permanent, you have entered
the world of principles and cause/effect ..etc...
the heart...
and judgment
recently i was confronted with the insults of a young lady
who sought advice on rescuing a sick and injured bat that
was near death, out of her compassion? she embraced the
animal, held it close,
you know.

afternoon football games over (dammt! auburn was 'this' close to dropping one to UTAH STATE!!! bwaahahahahahah!!!! -- auburn, get ready for a long year, you cheating, lying bastards!)
janus takes his orders from TD seriously.
janus will take these issues with him for a meditative stroll in the woods. janus will return with just such wisdom once the chimpmunks, hummingbirds, butterflies, moss covered oaks, mosquitos, horseflies, confederate jasmine, honeysuckle, mimosa trees...ya know, Truth and Beauty...have invested me with the stuff sufficent to share.
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/rebel-spokesman-to-haaretz-lib...
rebels say they need israeli help. oh geez, ya think?
if you were thinkin to yourself, 'if i know janus, he's liable to run into a hum-dinger of a metaphor out and about in God's Menagerie', then, brutha, i can say with all conviction that you will not be disappointed.
janus had gone and had himself a VISION:
twas a nice enough afternoon, as far as sweltering september alabama afternoons go. there i was, strollin where i'm always prone to find myself, way off the beaten path, out in the middle of no where, about fifteen minutes past the last place i saw something familiar. it is in such places that you're liable to run across a snake; and so i did.
kingsnakes are not pleasant company. they're possessed of a quiet intensity that can be off-putting if you're unfamiliar with their nature. and, really, it comes down to this: don't fuck with kinsnakes, and they won't fuck with you. moreover, it's fair to say that they respect you as much as you respect them (and, yes, it's always provident to respect a serpent). and so i did.
janus: "howdy, mr. kingsnake. how goes it?"
kingsnake: nuthin (not even a hiss).
janus: i say there, old boy; what's the good word?
kingsnake: again, he sez nuthin
janus (third time, a bit peeved at this point): hot weather we're havin; what say you my slithery friend?
kingsnake: mute as a motherfucker.
so i do what any good citizen concerned with social propriety would do in such situations, i take my walkin stick and tap the snobbish serpent on his triangular temple, 'you on drugs, son? what's a matta you? eh? (thinkin maybe he was an ethnic serpent)'
apparently i'd with this provoked him; lightening-like, he braces back and stunts into a striking pose.
janus: 'whoa now, son. i just wanted to check and see if you were okay. i bear you no malice. just another of God's creatures, out here to likewise soak it all in.'
kingsnake: 'beware the ides of september'
janus: wha-what? what cha....
but before i could complete the question, he'd slitered off to stalk a nice, juicy bernake or fuld or cheney or some such vile lesser-serpent that needs exterminatin.
i digested all this Spooky Truth on the way back home. i had a full belly, after all.
you see, the way janus reckons, kingsnakes have gotten a bad rap. they do a tremendous service -- hunter and silent killer of subordinate serpents; nothing will do when a kingsnake is called for. but what does all this mean?
just what is Zero Hedge?
brothers, tptb are scared of TD (and all the rest of us), and, well, they should be: Zero Hedge is THE BRAZEN SERPENT (the King Snake) -- and we are all the scales, sinew and spine thereof. allow janus to explain:
when wondering through the wilderness, the nation Israel, just as they were approaching edom (just a hair east of palestine), found themselves bitten to bits by 'firey serpents', and many of them died from these self-same poisonous strikes. it was no mean issue; everybody, hebrews of all stripes and stations, were frettin something awful over these firey serpents (and who could blame them; i mean, poisonous, firey serpents have a way of unnerving those of the broadest shoulders and bravest hearts). But Jehovah was poised at the ready -- with humor and irony and vengence a plenty.
He had moses go and craft a Brazen Serpent, then He told Pharoh's former first to lift the sucker up high, so that all who looked upon this Brazen Serpent would be healed. Christ refers to this very scene later on in the Book of Matthew (i think it's matthew -- that, or the Gospel of John), and Calvin explains that it is an alegory specific to the crucifixtion itself...nevertheless, you get the point, it's a really big deal.
but what was this Brazen Serpent; and what did it, at the time, reperesent?
do you recall when moses first told pharoah to fuck-off? he's all like, 'you can take your fucking empire, your goddam fine wines, your sluts and hos, your fiat and falsehoods, your tinsel and artifice, you can take it all and shove it up your gaping asshole, pharoah! you're a goddam tyrant! you've despoiled the poor and downtrodden too long! this farce has gone too far!!!' and then pharoah's all like, 'you make me sad'
so he has moses exiled out into the wilderness. whereupon he runs into, you guessed it, Good OLD Jehovah (burnin bush, etc.). so Jehovah's all like, 'moses, i need you to go back and give pharoah what-for. he's been beggin for divine retribution; and I aim to oblige.' and then moses shoots back, 'who be YOU?' Lord of Hosts responds, 'I AM'.
i think that resonated with ole moses. so he did as told.
and since he don't feel keen on his public speakin ability, he persuades The Almighty to let his little brother tag along, Aaron. so there the two of them go, two humble jews, to inform pharoah that some God calling himself I AM proposes to bring the whole thing (egypt) to naught. pharoah thinks they're bluffin; and so calls forth his magicians (economists) who throw down their staffs, which duly turn into serpents (dollars, euros, yen, etc.). Aaron's got somethin for em, though.
so, Aaron, not knowing what's to happen, likewise drops his staff; wouldn't you know it, the thing turns into a KINGSNAKE (gold) and it immediately sets to devouring the poser-counterfit snakes. that's the way things go sometimes, i guess.
ZERO HEDGE = THE BRAZEN SERPENT.
'...and, behold, the serpent must be lifted up...and all who looked upon him were healed'
the moral of the story is: TPTB, it's too fucking late -- we're onto your scent, and we will CONSUME you!
love,
The Brazen Serpent
