Yo Man... Why Ain't He Writin'? - WW Simple, I have a ton of personal business that simply cannot wait. All is well, but this stuff just has to get done so until I can get it all done, I will just be posting headlines. Once again, I do apologize but will be back to regular updates ASAP. FYI, I will be probably doing a couple of smaller pieces when I come back. One on the stem cell court ruling and another on several major issues I think anyone elected to the Congress and Senate should put on the 'front burner'. This is a critical election, even if it is mid-term and since I know a lot of staffers on the Hill peruse my site, I figure I will write on it. These will be major issues that I truly believe threaten the future of our nation. I will as usual write it from a political, economic and spiritual perspective. Be patient, I have not gone to be with the Lord and have am not stopping the site or slowing down from what I have been doing the past couple of months.
This personal business is stuff I just gotta do.
God bless all who read Watson's Web with wisdom and the grace to see, understand and react properly to God's truth as well as the hidden things of our time, which I talk about here on Watson's Web.

Rape! Rape!... ooops... just kidding! - WW
I was saddened by the rape accusations against Julian Assange. I was even more deeply saddened by the fact that these accusations, while being made by a Swedish prosecutor, was almost certainly part of some dirty trick done at the behest of the US Department of Defense. The evil side of US national security in the US has a long, long arm and could easily reach into a prosecutors office. Such people could be unwitting accomplices in a smear campaign or deep cover assets of foreign powers in full knowledge of the real reasons for their actions. In any event they are doing the bidding of a foreign power for the sake of a foreign power. The classic term used is called 'spy' but 'unwitting dupe' may also apply. Time will tell because my guess is that some folks in power in Sweden are asking some hard questions right now.
There can be little doubt that the charges are trumped up for either the sake of 'character assassination' or to have him arrested and extradited to a US friendly nation who will have him 'rendered', never to be seen or heard from again. That is the real threat. Trump up a charge just to get him arrested or to make him a fugitive from justice, them put in custody and the US can use its enormous diplomatic clout to put him in a gitmo-type facility. The validity of any charges are irrelevant once one gets into the US concentration camp system, you simply never get out again. Judges can order your release all day long, the President will simply hold them anyway. What troubles me is that people of America in their ignorance have the temerity to think the Obama-Hitler comparison is 'over the top' perhaps a little, but in order to differentiate Obama from Hitler, the only real difference that I see is the Holocaust and what I am seeing here in the US makes me think one may come to America before too long. In Obama's defense, I am not sure he was party to this smear campaign against Assange. It is entirely plausible that this smear campaign was done without his knowledge or consent and when he found out, he put a stop to it. But that is just speculation. As bad as Obama is, there are still some strong and positive character traits about him and this kind of thing, in my estimation, just isn't his style.
But it must be stated clearly here why I am writing about this. Nations need secrets. They are essential in our troubled world to secure our nation. We must have military secrets and other intelligence secrets to maintain the security of the state. I am a firm believer in the classification for our secrets and those that give them away in an unauthorized fashion, need to be dealt with. But it must be done in such a way as to clearly differentiate between those who do it to assist in saving the state by whistleblowing against criminal acts and those that do it do assist America's enemies. But the real problem with our National Security Secrecy System are threefold. First, there is a great deal of information that just does not need to be classified. Way too much. Why they classify some of the stuff they do makes no sense. Did you know that there are documents from the Civil War that are still classified? That a treasure trove of documents on WWII that are still highly classified? The reason for the classification of WWII documents is not to protect sources and methods, but to protect some of the most horrific criminality ever done by man, done by Americans during and after the war. Which brings us to the second point. Secondly, too much of the US classification system is there to protect criminal enterprises that have latched themselves onto the US national security establishment and have the power to use the crime of 'unauthorized disclosure' as a way to protect their criminal enterprises. Consider it a 'legal' omerta for the new form of Organized Crime in the heart of the US state. The third is that this classification system is often used to hide incompetence or in this instance to hide from the American people uncomfortable and politically sensitive realities, like the cost of this war in human terms as well as our bumbling incompetence in fighting it. I am here to tell you that those with good ideas from the beginning were not listened to and those who had the most expensive and money wasting ones had the decision makers ears. This is one of the reasons I cannot and will not condemn what Assange is doing. He is doing what our media is supposed to be doing, but because of threats made by our government to the same, they refuse to do. So we are stuck with reading press releases out of the DOD cleverly disguised as news in our media here in the US.
I cannot stress this enough, the lack of a free flow of information is the surest sign of a tyranny, not a free society. The fact that our government is going after someone who is trying to tell the people the truth is another sign of a society in terminal decline. Our government should welcome, not try and kill the truth. But crime flourishes in darkness, like mold and fungus and that is what our leaders are feeding when they go after those who try and throw some sunlight on what we are doing. The only real damage done by the last release was the fact that we could see that Paksitan's ISI whom we support and give money to, are more and more an arm of the Taliban, that there are Secret Units out there doing what are probably targeted assassinations against civilians and that Afghanistan is a far more violent place that we hear on the boob-tube. This information is not a threat to national security. This is rather, a threat to the 'security' of a tissue of lies America is being told to keep a war going, but it is not a threat to the state. What is sad in this writers estimation, is that 'National Security', once being a term used carefully in order to truly protect our nation, is now being used to undermine the very foundations of the state with incessant propaganda, war without end, people being held without trial and even when acquitted are still held, government spying on all aspects of Americans behavior and a hundred other things our Constitution clearly and expressly forbids. National Security is becoming synonymous with 'Entrenched Treason' against the citizens of America. I make no apologies for what I said here, for any nation that feels it needs to build secret camps to house hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of people while it creates legal mechanisms (using Muslim guinea pigs) to deny people any right to a hearing or humane treatment while in custody is a system that I can only pray is destroyed before it comes to bear its evil fruit. It is merely another face of Nazi-ism, wrapped up in the stars and stripes.
Yet there must be real care taken with regards to these unauthorized leaks. My deep concern is for the loss of life. What I mean is this, the DOD has expressed concern the the upcoming Wikileaks dump will contain the names of people who have cooperated with the US in the past and could put their lives in danger. Simply put, this is the absolute worst case scenario for any classified leak in this war. That those names are released and the Islamic militants get the names and start to kill them one by one. In this horror scenario, which I think is merely DOD spin to horrify Joe Sixpac. In such a most unlikely event, there would be enormous damage. No one could condone that. Yet if that was to happen, Obama, Gates and the whole DOD would have no one to blame but themselves. Why? Because Assange is not being a jerk about this, he has asked the DOD and Obama (remember him?) to review the documents to prevent that from happening. But the DOD is playing games because, I will say it if no one else will, they do not want to save lives, nor do they really want to come to some kind of agreement. They want power, the power to control all of the flow of information in the war and stop anyone from doing anything it does not like. Thus, if they can 'prove' that they must have that power by allowing these documents to come to light and having that horror scenario come to pass, that is more palatable to them than reviewing the documents and saving the lives of their sources inside Afghanistan. Right now, as I write this the DOD is monitoring several journalists here in the US because they wrote pieces that they did not like. Remember that WaPo article on the NSA and the National Security Establishment? (FYI, NSA is part of DOD). That is what we have in America. Just a few years ago such surveillave was illegal without a warrant. Think about it: the military is now conducting surveillance on US journalists! The truth has become an enemy of the state which is run by liars whose deepest hatred is for the widespread knowledge of the truth... any truth, because it is much easier to control people who do not know it, than those that do. They do not want anything to be known by anyone that they did not authorize. That is the crux of the matter. This kind of information contamination is the ultimate cover for crime.
This may seem like a digression but it isn't. Right now, people are working on a way to use a persons DNA to allow them access to computers. That is right. One day, you will have to touch your computer to give a sample of your DNA in order for it to turn on. Once on, it will know what color hair you have, blood type and (this is key) racial background. It will all be interconnected in the new information system (a new internet) that will allow some groups to see something on the internet, and others not to see them. This is still years away but it is the ultimate aim of such government sponsored programs. Think about it long and hard. Do you want to keep Jews from certain knowledge or careers? You will be able to do it. You want to keep blacks as beasts of burden? You can now do it using technology. It is an old way to keep the slaves down. Do not educate them. Jews indeed were denied education in states where the Reich was in power. In 1940 in Romania, Jews were denied education and employment. Certain racial groups were destine for 'beast of burden status' in the Reich. In our world and the coming order, Information will be absolutely essential. Those who have it will have power those that do not will not. What better way to control groups than by denying them access to information solely on their DNA? Please do not laugh at this, unless someone puts a stop to it, this world is coming. But back to Afghanistan.
Only a fourth of the ongoing corruption investigations by U.S. oversight officials in Afghanistan are strictly targeting Afghan suspects, the top U.S. investigator in Afghanistan said Tuesday in Kabul. The other three-fourths are investigating transactions that involve at least one Western suspect.
While he wouldn't identify officials or companies under investigation, the figures seem to support Afghan government contentions that corruption is every bit as widespread among Western officials as it is in their own ranks.
"About 40 percent of our investigations involve procurement fraud," said Raymond J. DiNunzio, the assistant inspector general for the U.S. special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction. U.S. and Western governments frequently issue large contracts to support military and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, for labor, security guards and building materials, for example. McClatchy
In the summer of 2009, the amount of money leaving Afghanistan became a bit clearer when the international security company Global Strategies Group took over responsibility for providing security at Kabul's airport and began filing reports on the money transfers. For a while, the company reported frequently to Afghanistan's domestic intelligence service. But, according to the newspaper, the company quit filing these reports in September because it was apparently no longer desired by higher-ups.
Reports on cases of persistent corruption like this have enraged American politicians and led a key panel to approve a freeze on the $3.9 billion in aid for Afghanistan's government already earmarked for the 2011 budget year. Nita Lowey, the chairwoman of the foreign aid appropriations subcommittee of the US House of Representatives, told her colleagues last Wednesday: "I do not intend to appropriate one more dime for assistance to Afghanistan until I have confidence that US taxpayer money is not being abused to line the pockets of corrupt Afghan government officials, drug lords and terrorists." Der Spiegel
Where does a guy like Karzai get money like this?
Kabul Bank's dealings with Mahmoud Karzai, the president's brother, help explain why this is so. In interviews, Karzai, who has an Afghan restaurant in Baltimore, initially said he rented a $5.5 million Palm Jumeirah mansion, where he now lives with his family. But later he said he had an informal home-loan agreement with Kabul Bank and pays $7,000 a month in interest.
"It is a very peculiar situation. It is hard to comprehend because this is not the usual way of doing business," said Karzai, whose home is in Farnood's name.
Karzai also said he bought a 7.4 percent stake in the bank with $5 million he borrowed from the bank. But Gopalakrishnan, the chief audit officer, said Kabul Bank's books include no loans to the president's brother.
Also in a Palm Jumeirah villa registered in Farnood's name is the family of Ahmad Zia Massoud, Afghanistan's first vice president from 2004 until last November. The house, bought in December 2007 for $2.3 million, was first put in the name of Massoud's wife but was later re-registered to give Farnood formal ownership, property records indicate.
Massoud, brother of the legendary anti-Soviet guerrilla leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, said that Farnood had always been the owner but let his family use it rent-free for the past two years because he is "my close friend." Massoud added: "We have played football together. We have played chess together." Farnood, however, said that though the "villa is in my name," it belongs to Massoud "in reality." - WP
Suitcases loaded with cash heading to the Gulf to buy luxury property, heading to personal bank accounts, this is the real Afghan War. Where do you think it comes from? I will tell you. Drugs and US Aid money. It is a mess much of it paid for on our dime. Now here is what you are not going to hear in the media. Those 'higher ups' who did not want to know about it and were disinterested in the corruption reporting? They were getting major kickbacks from the Afghans for their political protection in ensuring that no investigation would take place and those who were too curious took an immediate 'dirt nap'. Folks I am telling you, this is the real face of some very powerful faces in our National Security establishment. It is why you are not going to hear much about these investigations as some of these folks are household names. The corruption though is not exclusively American or done by coalition nations. No, most of it is Afghan related and it is significant. How bad? The DOD estimates that for every 10 dollars of aid given, 75 cents actually gets to where it is supposed to go. It is why some regional Afghan officials have not been paid in years. An earlier assessment of this corruption for us 'mushrooms' out here in America can be found here. My fear here is that Our Attorney General has been 'compromised' by these entities in the US establishment and that any investigation will be a whitewash and just fry a few 'small fish'.
So I think that some sunlight on what is going on in Afghanistan is a very, very good thing. Assange is doing the right thing, but he must be careful that lives are not lost in his revelations. For once you start putting sources names out there or even saying they operate near such-and-so mosque in this-or-that village, the Taliban may be quite indiscriminate and kill anyone and everyone they don't trust just to make sure they get the right person. The Taliban are not known for their rationality, just their brutality.
My hope is that the DOD will get off their high horse, consider the risks to not sitting down with Assange and his lawyers and just cooperate for once rather than getting on the same old power trip that is killing our nation, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia...
The DOD has made this bed of nails for itself when it decided that real oversight of its activities was not needed or that in our open society the people do not have a need or a right to know how their money is spent or how their loved ones died or came back seriously handicapped. They made the determination that they can win this war with lies and disinformation, not against our enemies but against our own citizens. They made the determination to fight not just the Taliban but American citizens as well with their 'information warfare'. America cannot win a war when it considers its own population part of the 'enemy'. It is a lesson the Vietcong taught us in the 60's and 70's and the Taliban are teaching us again.
It is our ability to learn that lesson that will determine if that 'D' in DOD stands for Defense or Dummy.

Headline From Last Week
Trend Research: US Fascism Will Lead To 'Greatest Depression'
Civilizational War It is amazing to me to watch those on the left defend Islamic society and Islamic law as though they are going to get a 'pass' from its retrograde societal changes just because they are not Christians. How do you think they deal with adultery, pre-marital sex or homosexuality? Don't buy into their propaganda, women will regret it from inside a burqua as they walk to the store in 90 degree heat in what resembles a potato sack (because Islamic law does not let them drive). It is like playing Russian Roulette in the mistaken belief that the bullets in the gun will only kill Christians. The politcal left in America is mentally 'out to lunch' on this one.
The Islamisation Of The West
Pak Floods, Freak Weather: Could This Be The Real Cause? Modern Science, refusing to acknowledge that the Sun plays an enormous role in the earth's temperature refuses to seriously consider what seems to be painfully obvious. The problem is all those millions in grant money only flows to them if they repeat the mantra 'Humans Cause All Global warming'. It is mostly junk science repeated loyally on your AP and Reuters wires. The key? It does not have to be true, the people just must be made to believe that it is true. We had a massive Solar Flare that hit the earth on or about the 3rd of August. Yet you have to go to a rather obscure Indian Article to get any kind of context that maybe a massive plasma fire hitting our atmosphere might just have an effect on our weather. This is an association that cannot be made in the US media and must be immediately 'discounted' by scientists (the propaganda model demands it) and will be, once more 'grant money' hits their coffers. These guys have already come to a pre-arranged conclusion and if there is anything that we can learn from Climategate, that is it. They have made real science impossible, they destroyed all of the temperature data! You don't do that unless you have something very significant to hide. Well, the scriptures tell us that with regards to the sun, things will get much worse before they get any better (Rev 16:8).

These people can marry anyone you or I can at the same places, at the same time for the same price. There is no discrimination.

Russian Fires Caused By Global Warming? Here is where you just cannot trust these scientists. These guys are as honorable as a two dollar whore. Forgive me for being so blunt, But this global warming monotonous drone in the news is really sickening and once again, the Blogosphere has missed the boat. I get tired of hearing everything from snow storms to oil slicks blamed on 'global warming'. Any way they can contort any event to support this pre-arranged conclusion, it will get spewed all over the AP and Reuters wires. Do you want to know what is causing these fires in Russia? Low tech terrorism. Chechen rebels going around in cars and trucks throwing molotov cocktains into dry brush. But the bloggers, being about as well informed as my pet rock will recite any popular conspiracy theory they hear without the slightest thought or regard for the truth. If it is fantastic enough and they can get more traffic by repeating a lie, that is what they will do. A good rule of thumb is this: If you don't know, don't say you do. Or this one: "It is better to sit quiet and be considered a fool, than it is to open your mouth and prove it". But here is also something you are not going to hear much, the word quietly being used in hushed tones is 'famine' in parts of Russia come this winter.
Gates Drawdowns And Resignations
Gates now is talking about leaving the DOD next year, leaving open a great many questions. Why was this announcement made just a week after he made massive cuts in DOD contractors, who give copious amounts of money to the DNC? Gates is on the war path, He has determined to cut contractors down to a total of 15% of what they are today. Year by year, he will be slashing contractors out of the DOD budgetary picture. Gates has 'deficit fever' and is honestly and deeply concerned about our federal deficits. I originaly thought the moves over at JFCOMM was a mere political faint, but it appears that Gates is in earnest about cutting DOD spending on contractors. A recent study done on it even shocked Gates! OK now, here is what you will never be told. Secretary Gates has had is secret service detail increased significantly since those cuts were announced. Why? Contractors apparently made threats against him for cutting their jobs. Now it is not like JFCOMM was doing anything. They were not. It is one the most irrelevant money wasting arms of the DOD. But threats made by contractors are no light matter. There appears to be some strong evidence that there is a rogue group of ex Black Water contractors who are out doing revenge killings today inside the US against those who they think had a hand in the companies demise. So the fears are quite justified. Then there is Afghanistan which we are losing so badly. Perhaps later in the week I will give a little more insight into just how bad things are. But if you want really good look, go and download those Wikileaks files. They tell the real story and things are only going downhill... rapidly. We need to pull out now. Why won't Obama? I will tell you. He is more from the Bush-Cheney school of thought than Bush-Cheney. Patreaus at least knows a lost cause when he sees one but once again is committed to more war. Obama is just looking in the mirror and his poll numbers and repeats the words, 'how will it effect my legacy', 'I am the greatest' 'I made history'... 'yo! you cute little intern... get me a bigger mirror so I can look at the first African American President but get that speck of dust off of it first....

Pakistan - WW
Floods In Pakistan
What is now transpiring in Pakistan is a very, very serious humanitarian tragedy. Anytime you have 20 million folks homeless you have a very serious potential not just for mass discontent but also for disease. For now, official death tolls are at less than 2000 people, but these are probably serious undercounts. According to the UN
A UN humanitarian operations spokesman, Maurizio Giuliano, said at least 36,000 people believed to have potentially fatal acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) were being treated for cholera."Given that there is a significant risk of cholera, which is a deadly and dangerous and a potentially epidemic disease, instead of focusing on testing, everyone who has AWD is being treated for cholera," he told Reuters.
Reported Health Problems Punjab

 Latest reports found here.
When one looks at these charts it is always incumbent on the reader to remember these are reported cases of people who are within reach of a UN sponsored facility and one that actually reports back the number of cases.
Pakistan is literally coming apart and the situation as told to me by our intelligence officials is considerably worse than we are hearing in the MSM. Beyond the serious human tragedy that is still ongoing is the threat of Islamic militants (ala the Taliban) gaining new traction amongst a downtrodden and forgotten-about part of the population. The disaffection with the government is extreme and this is extremely fertile ground for the Taliban to work and work they have. For those who are suffering and have seen little or no government assistance the local Taliban rep's propaganda is extremely effective, “You see, the government does not care about you, they are waiting for you to die so they can give your land and farms to the Americans to kill other Muslims, rise up against your oppressors brethren in Jihad!” You tell that to a guy whose farm is under water is getting no help from the Government, a government who probably is responsible for the deaths of his friends and relatives during America's killing spree and sooner or later, it is going to take root. It appears now to be taking root as anger is directed towards Islamabad which has done very little to alleviate the suffering of the population.
The sad part is the anger is not misplaced. Do you want to know where Zardari has been during the crisis? Experimenting with new sex positions with his harem of beautiful blonde Czech women in a high class hotel... and this is no jest. All of these women of course acquired on the human slave market. Is it any wonder people are disgusted with this US backed puppet regime? When one administration official recently visited Pakistan, her main goal was to find some sexy Pakistan female to seduce in her Lesbian bed. These little tidbits sound like gossip but they are not, they are the simple reality of what America really brings with it when she extends her leprous hand. Like a doctor who brings in vials of plague instead of antibiotocs, and a syringe of cyanide instead of a bandages, so is American foreign policy. Is it any wonder that these 'patients' die under the care of this geopolitical 'Dr. Kervorkian'? Iraq, Afghansitan, Pakistan, Somalia... all once nations, now all a hopeless mess, being victims of Kervorkian's 'American assisted suicide'.
The ordinary people will always suffer under American led regimes as it brings in leaders whose primary purpose is to allow US troops to stay and launch raids in neighboring nations and allow Corporations a free hand to decimate local businesses and to use the tools of violent repression on its population. That sadly is US foreign policy in a nutshell.
So as one senior intelligence official said to me recently, the Taliban are not going to destroy Pakistan, it looks like the floods will. I think they will and even after they subside, half of those who are now homeless (20 million by widely reported estimates) we will see half will turn and sympathize with the Taliban and about a tenth of those will actively join the resistance to the 'infidel invaders'.
For America, her shortshightedness and tunnel visioned State Department and narcissistic President will never see these things as they really are. They are blind men sailing the ship of state onto the shoals of disaster.
The UN aid envoy to flood-stricken Pakistan warned Wednesday that armed militants could take advantage of the country's worst humanitarian disaster by operating among its displaced victims.
“We all hope that militants will not take advantage of the circumstances to score points” by exploiting people driven from their homes by the floods, Jean-Maurice Ripert, the United Nations' aid envoy for Pakistan, told Le Monde.
“The people's misery can always be exploited by those who have political or militant aims,” the newspaper quoted him as saying, describing the floods as “the worst natural disaster the country has known.”
His comment came in response to a question about reports that some local aid groups working for the victims in Pakistan had links to extremists. - Dawn
Let us all see how this all goes down as this disaster could be the straw that breaks the camels back and sends vast swaths of the nation into the militants camp effectively destroying what little cohesiveness the nation already has.
Time will tell.

Obama To America: Let Them Eat Cake! - Telegraph There is however a political revolution fast approaching Washington that is driven not by mob rule but by the power of ideas and principles, based upon the ideals of the Founding Fathers and the US Constitution. It is a distinctly conservative revolution that is sweeping America and is reflected in almost every poll ahead of this November’s mid-terms. It is based on a belief in individual liberty, limited government, and above all, political accountability from the ruling elites. The Obama administration’s mantra may well be “let them eat cake”, as it continues to gorge itself on taxpayers’ money, but it will be looking nervously over its shoulder as public unease mounts.(end excerpt)
Interetsting article, even if it rags too much on Michelle. There is a lot you are not being told and suffice it to say, that folks should really pray for that lady. Most of the negative things you are hearing about her just are not true. She needs prayer and help from two very powerful and evil men. She had to be nuetralized because she was the last voice of sanity Barak Obama was hearing. Now these days, I am reliably informed she is being drugged regularly. There is much more they are doing to her that I hesitate to post.
But these democrats.. what can I say? The GOP, as evil as they were, at least weren't trying to sell the poor a bill of goods. Consider this old piece from June.
The Blue Dogs want you to believe that, unlike those other profligate politicians, they really, really care about bringing the federal budget deficit under control, even in the midst of the worst economy in 75 years.
That's why the caucus of fiscally conservative House Democrats insisted last week that their party leaders strip out nearly $30 billion in funding for health-care coverage for the poor and the unemployed from emergency legislation extending jobless benefits. It's not that we're heartless, they explained, it's just that the country can't afford it.
All of which raises the question of why the Blue Dogs couldn't muster the same fiscal discipline when it came to spending $22 billion over the next three years to guarantee that American doctors, who are far and away the best-paid in the world, don't suffer any significant declines in their incomes just because of a little thing like a recession or a government budget crisis.
Given the choice between protecting high-income docs and economically struggling patients, those courageous Blue Dogs sided with the docs. - WP
Go ahead... put these guys back in power.... you'll be sorry. Sorry, hungry, cold and homeless as the two party monstrosity destroys social safety nets and hands out billions more to corrupt corporations on the federal dole. I know what some of you are saying... I also heard Obama saying the GOP is going to 'destroy Social Security'. But he himself has done more damage to it than any GOP leaders. He is the one who has cut the beneifts of MILLIONS of seniors and the corporate controlled and owned MSM simply has not reported it, lest it tarnsih the image of the man who does their bidding with such haste. He is the one who has shown his intentions, not with words but with hard to accomplish legislative actions. Remember this folks, every dime they steal from Social Security is going to go for wars and super-secret programs. They are not going to save one single solitary dime. They are just going to tell you that in the hopes 95% of Americans believe it in November.
They are right, they'll believe it.

Death Fears Rattle Blago Jury - Sun Times This is an interesting story, not because of what is written in the article but because of what has not been put out for public consumption. There is a reason this jury is hung and I am going to tell you why. During the deliberations, the Jury sent a note to the Judge asking them if they reach a verdict will the Secret Service come and kill them. Yes, they really asked the Judge this question! Why? Once those wiretap tapes they heard are put into context.... you know, the ones that they will not let you hear... If you heard them, you would ask the exact same question. Get me off of this jury 'death row', I do not want to die!
Folks this scandal is not about Blago, he was just a small part of a larger scheme. Let me break it down to you quickly and simply. The President and others in his administration are the ones who should be on trial. Blago was skirted, but probably did not actually cross the legal line here. The White House is another matter entirely. When the jury heard those tapes... there was no way other way this could come out. No one is going to convict Blago. Now having said that knowing some of Obama's henchmen as I do (one was actually going to take this author 'out of the picture' not long ago). I know the jury's fears are not misplaced. They will all die, one by one... car accidents, poisonings, suicides, chemically induced heart attacks, if they reach a verdict. Blago is no worse than any other governor in the nation. His main sin was to try and stop the banksters from raping Illinois and saying 'no' to the hOrrible 'O'. That was the last straw and why they got rid of him in a matter of HOURS.
This is not what you are going to hear in any of your lying MSM publications; not the Nazi-ton Post, not the Himmler Tribune or the Hess News Network. These guys will never tell you the whole truth as their job is to keep you as dumb and as controllable as possible. From time to time they get an O'Reilly (for the right wingnuts) or an Olbermann (for the left wingnuts) to whip up the partisan couch potato's into a manufactured emotional frenzy. All the while their real aim of these congolmerates is to protect the criminals who do the bidding of the real powers in America and crucify anyone who dares defy them. Ask Eliot Spitzer. And for many of you out there who think my Nazi references are 'over the top', all I can say is this: live a little longer, you'll see. You will say I was not hard enough on the MSM as that shackle scraps away at your ankle and your ribs stick out from lack of food. What the Nazi's did will be a pre-school warm up for what is coming to America before too long.
Not far from where I live is a facility that is hooked into the Phone system, Water system and power grids. It is all underground. You dare not even slow down if you are passing by in your car or you may get to see what a machine gun looks like... from the barrel end as your face uncomfortably scrapes the pavement. The construction has been going on for some time but has recently abated. It is about 20 stories deep and covers a great many acres. The place is huge. I have been reliably informed by some insiders that inside that place there are some folks who live there that may not be there of their own free will. Now... Let me ask you a question. Did the German people know for certain what was going on in those labor and death camps? Some guessed, some surmised and most should have at least suspected. But the entire program was shrouded in total secrecy and even the paper trail was extremely minimal. The people were given a flimsy cover story about where the Jews went, 'They went east...' was what they were told and those that liked to continue living on the outside of those facilities asked no further questions. You think they are not preparing for that here now? A confluence of events is coming upon this nation and national bankruptcy will almost certainly be the trigger for a whole serious of things that are going to shock most Americans. For now, I will say no more but I could write a book that would send many of you running out of America by the fastest possible plane and at the soonest possible departure date. The only reason I am still here is I am under direct, divine instructions to remain here and do what I do until I can do it no longer. Any other move by me would not only be disobedience, but rebellion and I do not want to be like Jonah. Once again, my Nazi references are not off. Remember this much and keep this in your mind as you watch America transform. The post WWII Nazi plan for the world was for a thousand year Reich. All I can tell you is that their plans are right on schedule. You have hard it said that the devils greatest trick is to make people think he does not exist? Now... exchange the word devil for Nazi.

Dow 44,000? Gold $5000? Can It Be? - Money And Markets the broad stock markets will attempt one or two more rallies over the next three weeks. The Dow may even get back to 10,700, or even nudge out a new high near 11,000.
But don’t you dare be fooled. The broad stock markets in the U.S. are now rolling over.
At a minimum, by November, we will see the Dow plunge to at least 9,000, with a high probability of falling to the 8,700 level.
But once you see the Dow Industrials below 9,000 — start preparing for another big rally in the markets, one that could last for years and eventually see the Dow Industrials more than triple by 2015, and soar to anywhere between 27,000 and 44,000.
How could that ever happen, you ask? Call me crazy. Call me nuts. But I’ve written about it before, and that kind of stock market inflation has happened in nearly every third-world and emerging economy on the planet.
The only difference is that this time, it will happen in the FIRST world, and chiefly in the U.S. No matter what the economy does.(end excerpt)
This is a rather interesting read and what I think is going to be the most likely outcome of the financial collapse. Something and someone must be sacrificed and it will be the dollar, in a flood of Fed printed inflationary dollars. But it is the least painful way to economic hell, depending on how long the rest of the world decides to take dollars in exchange for real goods and raw materials. I am a little more pessimistic on this, but time will tell. The above linked article is brief and well written, check it out.

The Bush-Obama Gitmo Trials: Extraordinary Malfeasance - WW This is an interesting read and shows you the non-thinking going on in our government. It shows you just how much of a deceiver this man Obama is. Making promises and pledges he knew he could not keep. Keeping people in jail forever that you cannot convict? That is page out of Nazi Germany, not America. Putting people in concentration camps? That is a page out of Nazi Germany, not America. Are there black Nazi's? Yes there are and we have one sitting in the White House now. I know many will take the greatest exception to that but I am here to tell you, there is a lot you just don't know and I simply cannot post. This guy... what can I say, that insiders are telling me this guy has more screws loose in his head than Hitler did when he hid out in the bunker? Yes, I have heard that... credibly. That this guy has increased the number of mirrors in the White House so that he can look at himself? That he has young, pretty college interns do sex dances for foreign dignataries? This guy is nothing like the 'ads' you see on TV and has gotten into bed with bona-fide, human sacrificing, pentagram dancing, lucifer worshipping satanists to keep his 'agenda' going. I know not one of you in a thousand will believe this but once again, the truth is so awful and so far removed from the crap you hear out here in the Blogosphere that most folks just immediately dismiss it as the ravings of a religious fanatic. Well when you have the folks at the level and with the access telling me the things that I am hearing right from their own lips and are visibly shaken because of it, you understand why I am so pessimistic about America's future. I will go you one better, another satanist (real bona-fide satanist) is being groomed for the White House in 2012 and from the looks of things, they might win. They have the right backers and money is not going to be a problem. The irony is that this persons followers think they are really a Christian!

Investing In Mexico's Collapse Here are some facts about Mexico’s drug gangs that are starting to scare me …
* About 28,000 people have been killed since December 2006, when President Calderon declared war against the gangs. A whopping 1,200 people were killed in July — the deadliest month yet. The city of Ciudad Juárez, which borders El Paso, has by far been the most violent area, with more than 4,300 people killed in the past two years. Drug gangs are armed with military-grade weapons smuggled from the U.S., and other weapons come straight from the Mexican army.
* So many people were terrified of being assassinated in the last election, political parties had trouble finding candidates to run for office.
* Drug gangs are smuggling more drugs into the U.S. now than when the war started. It has become a $39 billion a year business — worth one-fifth of the Mexican government’s annual budget.
* The drug gangs are diversifying — moving into immigrant smuggling, extortion, kidnapping, and stealing oil.
* Mexican drug cartels operate in more than 2,500 U.S. cities. They are the only ones working in every part of the United States, and have forced out Columbian gangs.
* Drug gangs are actually setting up de-facto shadow governments and levying taxes in the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Coahuila on the Texas border, as well as President Calderon’s home state of Michoacán.

A Hard Lesson - WW A hard lesson
For many Christians, it is hard thing, an unacceptable thing that God will use the wicked. It is an equally hard thing from them to grasp that our nation, our once great land has turned and become God's enemy. These are not things that people want to hear. The lost will not hear it, for they know not God. They refuse to accept that God has high standards of morality and personal conduct and demands men maintain those standards. America and Americans are working to destroy those moral codes and replace them with a set of 'situational ethics' that flies in the face of what God has set up. Simple things that in today's world seems completely out of touch with modern morality; don't kill, don't lie, be faithful to your spouses and stay with them, even if, after 20 years of marriage, they don't look like the just stepped off the cover of playboy. God demands these things, as much to protect us from his wrath as to protect us from ourselves and each other. God's morality is not unreasonable and it is not impossible, it just requires a moderate degree of self-control and a willingness to understand that we are all part of a greater whole in our societies and communities and that those societies and communities do not revolve around us. Selfishness is the key that almost always gets men to want to break God's simple moral commands. One look at our twisted dying planet and one can see the inevitable result of rejecting God's morality.
Yet as our world dies right before our eyes, it seems that we should understand that God's morality also has a rather serious 'penal clause'. There will be retribution for 'Crimes against the Divinity' as well as' Crimes against Humanity'. The difference here between what we have down hear on earth is that God's court will be held and the Judge cannot be bribed and the courts cannot be fixed. Judgment will not have any favoritism for rich, poor, black white, free or slave. All will stand before the judge and give account. There will be utter terror in the hearts of men when they see what awaits them. Men will shake with fear, wet themselves, mess themselves, s-s-stutter, st-t-t-ammer, throw fits on that great day when they realize they must face something far worse than the devil. They must face an angry God who is seeking both Justice and vengeance and will get both.
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
(Deu 32:39-41)
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
(Rom 12:19)
This 'Old Testament' side of God's character has been lost on the world. Why? Effectually the Church whose experience with God has been with God's grace and mercy as preached in the Gospel has, shall we say, de-emphasized this part of his nature. Some have ignored and 'reinterpreted it all together.. For those who refuse that everlasting gospel and in their utter rejection of God and his moral laws stubbornly hold to sin, evil and rebellion...
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
(Rom 2:8-9)
God has not changed. He is the same God and in his desperation to save mankind, he has given us all ample time to turn from our evil and to love the good. Mankind is having none of it. America, which once honored God is also, having none of it. They have created their own morality of murder-on-demand for babies, war profiteering forever, 'sodomy uber alles', a giant theft and fraud machine known as Wall Street. God is not pleased and he is not going to ignore our crimes. I can tell you he has prepared a cup. A poison cup for America to drink. When she drinks it she will spew, bleed from the mouth, start coughing up chunks of her lungs and finally die. The cup has already been poured, it just needs to be topped off and then given to the ungrateful harlot. Those of us who know our God (really know, love and listen to him) can smell the potion with our spiritual noses, we know it is nearby. We know what is going to happen and know we must not be attached to this system when it comes tumbling down. We must wait patiently and obediently on our God.
When one looks at men like our President and the truly evil men he serves some of whom are almost certainly demon possessed, one wonders why such men do not just go ahead and die. Now as a Christian such a wish is not one that a person should even think let alone put down on paper or speak. But when one understand the real nature of these evil men, and the corpses that have been made because of them, people sent into slavery, the money that has been stolen one can understand, if not sympathize with such a desire. You see, I can talk about this evil all day long and it really isn't real to people until they are stuck in a war zone and smell the rotting flesh day and night, or have their kids kidnapped and sent to a child molestation facility or are picked up on a false charge, convicted wrongfully and sent to a prison 'labor facility' that happened to need a lot more workers. Those on the outside will see at as one of those 'amazing coincidences' as they inhale on that joint, those on the inside will know that this is the new slavery and until it happens to them, those on the outside will nor mark it. It is in times like those described and only then will people internalize what has been happening for decades while the decadent Americans drank, snorted and fornicated their way to 'Materialistic Nirvana'.
So why does God allow these truly evil men to continue on doing their very great wickedness? I will tell you for the answer is two-fold. First he does not want any to be lost, not even the devils chief imps on earth, if you will. They will be given plenty of space to repent and will be given no excuse on the great day that they did not know or did not have time. Second, is that God is using these men for his purposes. Just like the ten kings of Revelation, he does use the evil to accomplish his purposes. I have heard it said by others that God sent Obama not to save America, but to destroy it. I cannot disagree for he is taking us down the road to destruction because of the devils imps he has gotten into bed with... and he is in bed with them, politically speaking. Even these wicked men accomplish God's purposes and act as his hand.
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
(Psa 17:14)
God used the Babylonians, the Assyrians and the Romans in the past to chastise and judge his people and even called Nebuchadnezzar 'my servant' (Jeremiah 25:9). When God gets ready to move against a nation or people as he is about to move against us, he will use the wicked (lost, unsaved) nations to do it with. That is why you are seeing nations far and wide, who have no love for human rights, no love for Christians, no love for anything really but their own power, being given greater and greater power by God. He is allowing it for his not America's purposes. It is not that he loves China more than he loved America or that he wants to elevate Islam over Christianity. It is that he is going to judge sin and evil and America right now is in God's crosshairs. Why us? We forsook God. China never did forsake hers but America turned on the true and living God. Iran did not turn, even on its false one. These other nations may find a great blessing from the true God if they begin to be more tolerant of Christians, their Churches and activities at evangelism after all if their 'gods' are really so superior, what are they afraid of? This is what America is going to pay for; rebellion. God blessed us greatly more greatly than any nation ever and as long as we followed his will, he would continue to. But now that he have shown him the door, he will now present us will a 'bill'... for the wages of sin is death. We as a nation must pay the ultimate price for our spiritual treachery.
So as the days go forward and you ask yourself why God does not judge those Iranians or those Chinese or North Koreans, all of whom persecute God's holy people. You have a large part of your answer. This nation must and will pay for more than just its sins, it must also pay for its treachery and it is indeed a frightful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. The good news is that God, in his great mercy may allow a major chastisement to come to pass first on America to give us (as individuals) more space to repent. In other words, he may allow our economy to collapse and bring in real poverty to mainstream America in the hopes that some come to repentance. Fewer things will drive a man to his knees faster than cold nights sleeping outside and an empty belly.
Then there is the issue of spiritual blindness. This is something that has descended on America's national security establishment like a dark cloud. When I talk to insiders about what is happening they only tell you that 'they don't see it' and then describes who is getting paid off and by whom that explains this selective blindness. But in this there is a spiritual blindness as well. It seems endemic to our Intelligence community, with a handful of exasperated exceptions. It is also true of the internet. Folks do not see what is happening. The left is in denial and the right is blind. Spin is the operative word here as our enemies build a highly complex net to trap America. Only a very, very small handful of folks understand just what it all means and where the real threat is coming from. Insiders here at Watson's Web have gotten a small snapshot but I do not feel led to share it with those whom the Lord is blinding for his own purposes. If you love him, he will show you in his time. If you do not love him, you don't need to know, I am not going to tell you and you wouldn't believe it if I told you anyway as the Lord would make sure blindness fell over you as well.
So take this lesson in Geo-politics from a biblical perspective to heart. God is still on the throne and is surely going to make a move soon. But take heed about wishing for the day of the Lord. Anyone who really understand what it is does not wish for it.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
(Amo 5:18-20)
But let us also remember that promise that God gave to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian who assisted Jeremiah when he was in Jail.
Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
(Jer 39:16-18)
God does and will remember his saints and those that serve him, even in times of judgment. Be like Ebedmelech, that man whom God decided to preserve and protect while he was casting out his chosen people and severely chastising them.
In times of judgment and even in these horrible times, God will never, ever forget his people... no matter the color of their skin, what nationality they are or language they speak.
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
(Mar 9:41)
____
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

The Bailout Team Bails Out - WW
Now that some of Obama's economic team has bolted on him what is he, or the nation to do? While the internal wranglings of his economic team are not known to me, it seems clear that whatever they were, the real issue was not personalities, but policy. Obama's economic policy is an abysmal failure and lacks clarity and a realistic diagnosis of the problems that is needed to bring the US economy out of its this deep recession. The only people he has helped effectively are the very people who put the US economy in the mess it is in, the banks. He has spent far too much time paying back political debts at the expense of the broader economy, which is showing frightening signs, not just of recession but of running the danger of general collapse. A dollar collapse and/or a general economic collapse. The first major canary in the coalmine so to speak is the disintegration of the Jobs market. American jobs are going away at a record pace. Even the Fed Chairman admitted as much before congress recently
“the increase in the unemployment rate have been more severe than in any other recession since World War II.” – Ben Bernanke 11/09
"This is the worst labor market, the worst episode, since the Great Depression," Bernanke 7/10
This is not a temporary phenomenon as regular readers of Watson's Web know, but the culmination of a long term trend that was put into motion when the treaties and agreements that enabled globalization to take place. These trends are unstoppble. They cannot be reversed without major political upheavals in Washington and that is not possible. Entrenched interests are already moving in to ensure the perpetuation of the status quo. Have you noticed the sudden 'altruism' of America's billionaires? They now want to give billion away to charity? Do you want to know why?
Overruling two important precedents about the First Amendment rights of corporations, a bitterly divided Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. - NYT
The ruling removes limits on corporations from spending their money on federal races, meaning that companies -- and probably labor unions -- will be free, for instance, to buy up advertising time days and weeks before an election to support or attack a potential candidate, perhaps creating slick spots with high production values similar to drug or car ads, or purchasing large blocks of network time.
Previously, federal law prohibited corporations and unions from using their treasuries to advocate for a specific candidate, allowing them to express themselves only through political action committees that were tightly regulated. They will still be prevented from donating money directly to campaigns even after today's decision. - LAT
Nowadays, there are no spending limits. A rich billionaire can give money to a 'charity' that wants to 'save the whales' and any donation made can be done with the understanding that they support candidate X at election time. They can give as much as they like, no limits no need to report who gave the money. So guess who is giving away money to 'charity' these days.
See a pattern now, just before the November Mid-terms? The rich now have no restraints on how much they can spend so I would look for many new Charities to form which are really front's for political activism. If 'Save the Wood Louse National Charity' supports candidate Y, then they will get millions as long as a large portion of it goes to political ads. It will be a new way to perpetuate the policies of the wealthiest Americans. It is these seeming little contradictions and nuances that are making American jobs more and more a thing of the past for as this story shows, more and more companies are using foreign labor and bypassing Americans in search of employees. The Big boys will do what they can to keep Americans poor and unemployable, Corporations on both sides of the Atlantic are ganging up on the American worker.
Indian IT companies on Friday cried foul over a proposed US Bill that is expected to saddle the outsourcing industry with an additional cost of $200-250 million towards visa fees.
The Border Security Bill — which has been passed by the US Senate and will be taken up by the House of Representatives shortly — seeks to recover the cost of a beefed-up US-Mexico border security programme by imposing a steep $2,000 increase in H-1B and L-1 visa fee (filing fee and fraud prevention and detection fee) over the current amount. At present, depending on their size, IT companies shell out $1,570 or $2,320 towards H-1B visa fee. Apex industry association Nasscom fears that the proposed Bill will hurt competitiveness of Indian outsourcing firms. That at a time when the $50-billion IT export industry has just begun to recover from the effects of global financial crisis, and is already nervous about the debt crisis in Europe. - Hindu Business Online
You see I am going to give you a basic economics lesson that is lost on Obama, the Congress and the Senate. Corporations are going to pay the lowest possible wage for the best job. If they can pay a guy from India 60 thousand what it would cost 80 thousand for an American to do, they will get the Indian. When the American is willing to come down to 60 thousand, they will offer the Indian 40 Thousand. This is the trend we will see as fewer and few companies have the money to spend on major IT projects as they weigh the real cost/benefits to such upgrades in today's 'unusually uncertain' economic environment as the work gets scarcer, the salaries get more meager. So today as millions of workers lose Jobs and state governments are faced with massive job losses, more workers looking for work means lower wages. Why pay someone 40k when you can pay them 35k? Simple economics. The economics that are driving down wages and putting people in the poor house after not being able to pay their mortgage.
There will be no real recovery as long as unemployment hovers at the rates it is now with more and more jobs being lost each day and no, I do not believe the BLS is counting all of America's unemployed in any of their measurements. I think the issue is much too sensitive politically to give Americans the unvarnished truth. The truth is this: The US economy is not recovering. Rather, it is still collapsing and only major policy alterations will prevent further disintegration of the American economy. The kinds of alterations that will require political clout and moxy our current President has yet to demonstrate. It will require that he stop 'breast feeding' large corporations with the taxpayers 'mothers milk' and let the spoiled brats do what business are supposed to do, go out take risks and compete and stop using the Government as a way to stifle competition.
"The Google-Verizon pact isn’t just as bad as we feared — it’s much worse. They are attacking the Internet while claiming to preserve it. Google users won’t be fooled.
"They are promising Net Neutrality only for a certain part of the Internet, one that they’ll likely stop investing in. But they are also paving the way for a new 'Internet' via fiber and wireless phones where Net Neutrality will not apply and corporations can pick and choose which sites people can easily view on their phones or any other Internet device using these networks. - Truthout
The key here is that Google, Verizon Comcast want to control the net and decide who gets to watch what and destroy any competition by just saying... 'we won't let our customers access your material quickly and easily if we don't like them'. Folks the internet is a very big part of the future, from banking to commerce, retailing to news, entertainment to work-from-home employees, it is all going to travel on the internet and these guys want to control it. But you see, this is the way 'business' operates today in America. It is not about free markets, it is about controlled markets that are set up to perpetuate large, inefficient and uncompetitive cartels and keep the small and medium sized businesses out. From Oil to IT, Banking to Pharmaceuticals even the entertainment industry, especially the movie industry, each relies on Washington to provide protection for these cartels. This system, as seemingly (key word here) successful as it was when America could borrow its fiscal needs from overseas, is now an albatross holding back real economic activity that can generate real jobs and spur economic growth where the vast majority of Americans work - in small and medium sized businesses. This is a classic battle and you have to go back to go way back to the Kennedy Administration to figure out just how we got to where we are.
After an appearance before the Business Council, made up of leaders of top businesses banks and corporations Kennedy privately observed that this was the only audience that did not rise to its feet up the entrance of the President of the United States, The organization, known as the Business Advisory Council until 1962, was created in 1933 and had a semi official relationship with the Government until a dispute arose with the Kennedy administration over its special relationship. Kennedy felt it was improper for this elite group to have special access to government officials and information that other businesses and the pubic did not have. Meetings between government officials and Council representatives continued after this disagreement, but on a less formal and less frequent basis. - Battling Wall Street (p. 54)
The book goes on to describe Kennedy's suspicion that Wall Street had engineered a run on Gold to undermine him politically. What this book shows the reader is many of the “why's” of the Establishments intense antipathy towards Kennedy and shows, from his own policies, statements and interviews from his Cabinet officials where the fault lines were. The above one was key, in my estimation, as to what got Kennedy on the elite's 'poop list'. You can read this book and see how Kennedy really was the first one to see the underlying problems from the Economy, Defense, Foreign Policy to understand and attempt to make moves to redirect the nation away from what now are euphemistically called 'the insiders'. This was exactly what his predecessor, Eisenhower warned the nation about when he left office. Kennedy could not help but see it but did not have the power or time to deal with it. You see, the real problem here extends beyond just the economy to a system of insiders who have used the system to their own personal benefit and to the serious, if not irreparable detriment of the nation.
Kennedy wanted to ensure the nation had solid economic growth across the board and wanted to ensure there was at least some form of a level playing field for smaller businesses and those who were not hooked in with the elite establishment. This is the real battle America is facing now. You see, if there is ever going to be a recovery that creates jobs, smaller businesses must be able to compete in newer industries and markets. It simply cannot all go to the large politically connected corporations who can, at the drop of a hat, make a phone call and have $20 million dollar credit line for his already heavily indebted business, while the small businessman cannot get a loan no matter how well his company is run.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said small businesses are having a tough time getting loans they need to expand or stay afloat and keep the U.S. economic recovery going.
Some credit worthy firms with “strong” cash flows and a decline in collateral values are have trouble getting loans, Bernanke said today in opening comments in Washington to a Fed- hosted conference on efforts to reverse a drop in lending to small businesses. The forum caps more than 40 meetings the Fed has held around the U.S. since February. - Bloomberg
I bring this up to show you how we got where we are and how, if our nation ever wants to create jobs again and prevent social upheaval and political instability, it will require moves to be much more inclusive in its economic deliberative bodies and not, as President Obama has done, only include the same old faces who put America in this mess to begin with.
On Wednesday, President Obama announced the formation of a panel, called the President’s Export Council, to coordinate the administration’s pledge to double US exports over the next five years. He touted the increase in exports as the key to reviving the economy and creating jobs.
He spoke before a White House gathering dominated by corporate executives, and packed the 19-member panel with the CEOs of some of the largest and most powerful US corporations, including Boeing, Ford, Xerox, UPS, ADM, Verizon and Walt Disney. - Axis of Logic
You see, in my estimation, the system is stacked against any realistic and effective attempt at creating jobs based on free market economics. They may be able to create some 'make work' government jobs and give temporary tax breaks to companies that hire the long term unemployed, but that is not going to solve our economic problems. The only thing that will do that is to restore real competitiveness inside America but reduce significantly the negative influences globalization has had on working (producing) Americans and the misallocation of wealth to those (non-producing) Americans who produce nothing except reams of paper and gambling debts (Wall Street).
The US economy has been dysfunctional for decades. This is not a new phenomenon. What has made these long standing trends so acute today is the simple fact that for too long these non producing entities have had no restraint have had unfettered access to any sitting administration and always had their people inside the administration, usually as secretary of the Treasury. It has been an insiders revolving door that now has that building collapsing around it. As long as this system in its present form is allowed to perpetuate itself, it will mean more lost jobs and soon, social and political instability. I look at the Tea party as a perfect example of that coming instability. An angry mob is hard to reason with and these people are angry.
I am not certain that America will come to terms with these questions as entrenched interests would rather destroy America than give up their privileges. So vain attempts will be made to reorganize the system around the same old stale faces and pot bellies to no real avail.
That is the real economic threat as I see it, not just charts and graphs pointing to Bernanke and asking what is he going to do, fight inflation or deflation, or how America is going to pay her debts. These are important. But as fundamental as these questions are, the far more fundamental question lies in the bigger questions of how the US economy reorganizes itself and around what entities and groups.
That will determine if America ever recovers from its economic funk or descends into political turmoil and quite possible violence as people lose faith and hope that the Federal Government is anything more than a racket designed to keep them poor.

Is God Trying To Send Us All A Message? - WW
I think so, no... I know so. All of the flooding, fires and other disasters are all growing in intensity. I would also venture an educated guess (just a guess) based on events I have been talking about since April, that there is a lot more to these two stories than meets the headlines.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128749517
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iPPyYVByL1NJssM6ytS9Le4j3_8Q
Bretheren, I am not going to give any sermons today. The headlines are screaming at us; the open sin and rebellion, the wickedness openly displayed, wars and rumors of wars, disasters in diverse places. What is it going to take sinful man to see what his real problem is? I think it is going to take a whole lot more disasters. Disasters that cannot be recovered from, then, perhpas a few, (but not many) will begin to open their eyes to what man has become.
Are you ready for a world war? I think that if certain nations do not 'call off their dogs' so to speak, we could be in one sometime next year. A hot war, none of this low intensity stuff. Keep your eyes on yet more oil and energy sabotage, billed as 'accidents' and 'mishaps' in the months to come, in both the US and so called BRIC nations (switch Iran for India here). Sooner or later, this war will come out of the shadows and into the daylight. It will only take one miscalculation for someone to lose face and require a real, openly displayed military response. Some of the reasons are talked about in the last PESR, others are longstanding ones everyone is aware of. Few are talking about it now because there is so much that is being withheld by our leaders and the blogopshere, with one or two unheard of exceptions, is totally in the dark. In many ways, it has become worse than the MSM, and that is no exaggeration. It has turned into the 'All Spin Zone', 'Ignorance Anonymous' and the 'Plagerization News Network'. Insiders here at Watson's Web have already had their eyes opened with a real eye-popping jolt and some have had their 'jaw drop to the floor' when some real important truths were revealed to them. For others, I am never going to openly post a great deal of material in fear of my safety, sorry. But I will from time to time, drop you some very big hints.
Keep your eyes on the East, that is why in the public version of the PESR I spent so much time on it. Pay attention to this region, it is most important.

Private Browsing Mode Not So Private After All - Geek.com All the popular web browsers now have a privacy mode which is advertised as a secure browser instance that does not store information about the session. That includes things like cookies and session data.
However, anyone who thought they were safe from prying eyes by using such a mode would be mistaken. Research carried out at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon University has found that privacy sessions leak data which can be read by someone who knows what they are looking for.(end excerpt)
Most interesting. Is there anything you can do? Yes, but go and read the white paper first. You will find it interesting. What will help, but not cure all of these ills is following the instructions in the article. Before you change modes, clear your cookies cache and history. There are two ways to do this. One is a great little tool called prefbar. It is an extention at Mozilla.org. You can use it to do all of this and much, much more (click on the customize button once installed). Another way is to use a program called CCleaner. Are you using another cleaning tool? You are better off with this one. Why? Well, let us just say that it is rather special and a lot of effort went into seeing to it that it never saw the light of day. Thankfully, those efforts failed. Why was it in such trouble? I hesitate to answer that question directly, but will tell you this. The fact that these browers leave so many tracks behind is not, I repeat NOT a coincidence nor is it 'bad code writing'.
There are many forms of what are euphemistally called 'National Security Letters', if you will... and if you are making a browser that will be used widely and you are incorporated in America you will get one and you will do exactly what it says. Things like insert these multiple vulnerabilies into it for law enforcement and illegal spying. What happens if you do not comply? Little things like this. Or you may have your multi billion dollar conglomerate ripped from under you after certain documents are shown you proving major anti-trust violations and a clear choice is put to you; Give us your corporation or we will break it into a million pieces and send you to jail. What do you do? Such a company will never have another serious Anit-trust problem again. Why? Because I hate to tell you, our courts are fixed and as crooked as a snake in the grass. Too big to fail and too big to prosecute should come to mind.
So is there a browser impervious to these threats, or at least not deliberately code-written to perpetuate them? Yes! It is called Opera and it is one very, very fast well made browser and yes, I do use it quite often... more and more in fact.
Did I mention I use Opera more and more? In case I didn't. I use Opera more and more these days and I certainly stay away from the newer versions of Firefox.
Word to the wise.
Why am I giving you this information now? When the entity that calls itself Microsoft turned over all of its source code to the Russian FSB (KGB), they put about a billion or so ordinary folks at enormous risk when they browse because I am here to tell you, that code will wind up with Russian organized crime as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. Today, criminals have gotten 'in' and are making a mint and to this day and the Justice Department won't do a darn thing. So it is incumbent on you to take action because your government is the best friend of Organized Crime has and is determined to help them and screw you.
When 'national security' means assisting criminals and America's enemies while attacking and victimizing your own citizens one can understand and sympathize with someone like Julian Assange. America's 'National Security' state has become the greatest threat to America's national security since the Soviet Union. It is a place where crime and treason hide behind the veil of 'secrecy'.
On a slightly lighter note, Microsoft and Yahoo plan on asking their readers what kind of ads they want displayed.
“When you give people a choice they tend to love you because you’re showing them respect,” said Beth Uyenco Shatto, global research director at Microsoft’s ads unit. “If it wasn’t for advertising they wouldn’t be getting the content for free.” - Bloomberg

It seems apparent that with her on the Court there will be one more vote will be in favor of legalized recognition of sodomy as 'Marriage'. But sometimes, when a Justice gets on the court, they surprise and disappoint those who worked hard to put them there. We will see. Frankly, Federal courts should not be involved here as Marriage is and always has been a State level issue. Let the Feds in on this issue and Marriage will look like our federal budget, one big mess.

First Major Step To The Destruction Of The Internet As We Know It - NYT
Goggle once again. I cannot help but notice this deal comes after Google opened up its servers to the NSA and has partnered with the CIA. Now deals can be done in back rooms away from public scrutiny to give more power to these massive conglomerates. All overseen by the NSA.
"Since the court decision, involving Comcast, in April, the F.C.C. has been trying to find a way to regulate broadband delivery, and that effort has been the subject of a series of private meetings at the agency’s headquarters in recent week"
I can hear the meeting now. "OK guys, you will get approval, we got the Federal Judge who will hear any case regarding this in our back pocket, but you have to put in these new NSA routers, let 500 DHS employees into your offices to monitor traffic, log all interent activity, pass on all uersnames, passwords and IP's to the DHS and ensure all traffic is passed on to the that new spy facility in Utah.(begin excerpt)
The articles came around the same time The Washington Post reported that the Obama administration will proceed with a Bush-era plan to use NSA assistance is screening government computer traffic on private-sector networks. The plan is controversial because of the NSA's involvement in warrantless wiretapping of US citizens.
The program will scrutinize only data traveling to or from government systems, but it has provoked debate within the US Department of Homeland Security because of uncertainty about whether private data can be shielded from unauthorized scrutiny - The Register
Don't let these guys fool you. This whole thing is about erecting a tyranny in America and giving corporations all the money they want to get it done. They are going to lock you up in a digital, followed by an actual cage. No nation, except a tyranny needs so many domestic spy programs and gives so much privileged access of government officials to corporations, far away from public scrutiny. It is the essence of fascism.
In fairness, some inside really want to contain this massive spying beast and protect civil liberties. But the real threat is that some 'black' program, impervious to congressional scrutiny is put in place illegally to do exactly what any laws prevent. The sad part is that Obama and any future administration from the two party monstrosity, (corporate 'bobble heads') will surely go along and protect law breaking and then demonize those that call for vigorous enforcement of our laws. Witness the illegal (key word here) immigration debate.

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

US And South Korea Growing Apart - BBC These are tense times on the Korean peninsula, reason enough for two high-profile US visitors - the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Secretary of Defence Robert Gates - to be in South Korea at the same time.
The sinking last March of the Cheonan, a South Korean naval corvette, precipitated a new round of tensions between North and South. Forty-six sailors died in the incident.
A detailed investigation sponsored by the Seoul government, with the involvement of foreign experts, indicated that the vessel had been sunk by a deliberate attack, almost certainly from the North. But the North Koreans still insist that they were not involved.(end excerpt)
Well folks, welcome to the real world. Do you really want to the truth? It was not North Korea who sunk that sub and the intelligence community knows it. This story may be a 'leak' from inside the IC to get folks in Congress and the Senate to get Obama to act responsibly, lest he allows his Secratary of State walk us into a major trap. Today, the State Department appears quite willing to blame the North and now is forcing sanctions on them. But right after the event took place US intelligence found evidence that pointed in a very different direction, a nation who had deliberately left evidence that would point to the North. Insiders (here at WW) now understand who and why Hillary was quick to blame the North instead of the real culprits who know they are the only way the US has to put any kind of diplomatic leverage on the North. Commit an act, and get Uncle Sam to come running to you for help. Don't laugh, it has worked more than once. One reader wrote me and said that our enemies are playing Chess, and we are still playing Checkers. I can think of no better analogy.
Sadly, our leaders are just too dense to see it all. Others inside this administration are in the back pocket of foreign governments. Sadly, we may wind up tip-toeing into a major war on this peninsula at a time, place and circumstances of our enemies choosing and we will have no choice, other than to use Nukes, or withdraw in shame and let North Korea and our real enemy have the South.
“Next is the battleground, it can be distant or near. It can be difficult or easy. It can be open or narrow. It also determines your life or death. ~Sun Tzu
This is classic war fighting, as applicable today as it was in the time of Ceasar; being able to choose the time and place of the battle to your advantage. The bigger picture, as insiders know is very, very grim and our enemies are running circles around our leaders. I will not blame Obama here, I think he knows the threats but is powerless to do anything about them, as much as he may want to. President Obama did show some real moxy a couple of weeks ago when he retaliated for the blatant attack on the Deep Water Horizon and a string of of other attacks that have been occurring inside America for months (no, this is not guesswork). It is also why you are seeing this, no need for an investigation. They know exactly what happened and have no intention of telling you because his powerbase would go ballistic if they knew how he had to retaliate, and America did have to retaliate. It is easier to let the blame fall on those 'evil oil companies'. The blogosphere bought that, hook, line and sinker. Thus, while he may be the weakest President we have had in my lifetime, he knows, at least up to a point what needs to be done. But he is hampered by the abysmal picks in his cabinet and the small gaggle of sycophants that surround and isolate him from the people who can really help him.
Please pray for that man, because I say this in all sincerity, the real threats are not being told to you by the Blind Watchmen on the net. They do not know and do not want to know if it does not contain the words New World Order, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bohemian Grove, Illuminati, Skull and Bones. The real threat is coming at us like a 50 ton Mack Truck, pedal to the metal and the Blindmen do not see it. This is why I wrote the following piece.
Please read it.

Blessed Are The Eyes That See... - WW Those of you who received the note in your inbox, read and understand that this is what really going on that the blogosphere is utterly unaware of. Christian 'watchmen' are so obssessed with their NWO conspiracy theories and other pet delusions that a 50 ton Mac truck is about to hit them from a direction that they are not even aware. Why? Why are they so blind? Why can they not see the things I have shown you? Read these verses carefully and ask yourself how many of them are almost certainly closet racists (murderers 1 John 3:15), and hate (though they will vehemently deny it, in public) everyone that is not white like them, posting stories denigrating blacks and hispanics and will not speak up for the truly downtrodden because of the color of their skin. This is the real reason why they cannot and will never see until it is too late. God himself has blinded their eyes. There is a spiritual blindness in our age and the internet age has not assisted much in clearing away the blinders for many. They really think they see and are as blind as a bat. The prophets of old spoke of this blindness and the times we are in and the blindness that will come upon mankind in this hour. As the scripture saith...
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
(Luk 10:23-24)
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
(1Jn 2:11-12)
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
(Joh 12:40)
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
(Zep 1:17)
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
(Mat 23:24)
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
(Luk 6:39)
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
(2Pe 1:7-9)
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
(Rev 3:17)
There are a great many out there claiming to speak for the Lord who are full of hate which is the spirit of murder and I warn you in the name of the Lord that as sure as night follows day, their portion will be with the unbeleivers unless they wholly and completely repent, for no murderer has eternal life, no matter how many conspiracy theories they can recite. For nothing and no one that works any abomination will enter into God's kingdom.
Nothing and no one (Revelation 21:17).
Millions of American 'Christian's will not gain entry because of this thing. This is the same type of thing that caused the Pharisees to miss out on Christ. They were blind but with them, it was more with the spirit of Mammon and greed and their high status in society, that caused them to miss God. Nothing has really changed. Ancient Israel may have messed up, but the Church is no better, and these so called watchmen and prophets leading you down 'red-herring' and 'NWO conspiracy' road..., brothers... please, please, please be careful. Many of these men are deceiving and deceived. These guys have about one-one tenth of one percent of the total picture and refuse to look where their conspiracy theories do not lead them.
This is not so much an attack on any single person, but on a spirit that permeates so many Christian and so called 'remnant' blogs, sites and newsgroups on the web. The worst offenders know who they are and others really need to check themselves to ensure that lingering hatred (racial or otherwise) for others does not make them unfit for salvation as they go blindly on the path to death. This is a very troubling trend I see, especially in those who are leaning in a worldly (politically right) fashion. They are more 'right' than Christian and more 'constitutional' than biblical.
Take heed. Know this as well because in the end, this is the real key. Where is the love? I go to many of these sites and I see no love for anything excerpt their own twisted notions of what they think America should look like; horrible misunderstandings of Constitutional law and just a lot of plain old ignorance. But where is the love? Paranoia, fear, salesmanship are rife, but I see no love. Not for the innocent prisoner, who sits in jail for years, not for the impoverished immigrant, who flees to America to escape being victimized by drug cartels. Where is the heart? Do they even care about anyone else? [I know my stand on illegal immigration seems to stand askew here, but it does not really. There are legal methods for gaining entry into the US. It is called the Immigration System and it is widely used by other immigrants to gain entry into the US, legally Including for refugee and political prisoner status. What our Federal government is doing is aiding and abetting felonious activity by encouraging millions to bypass that system and drain billions of dollars in services away from state and local governments who are now tottering on insolvency. Not to mention that many of these 'immigrants' are hardened Naro-Gangsters setting up terrorist and drug distribution cells right here in the US. It is a naked and wicked attempt to use one group of working people against another to drive down wages and drive up profits for the corporations, and that is one main reason why it continues to this day]. I ask this question because I read hundreds of posting from supposed Christians and see, hear and feel no love for anyone. A lot of arrogant spouting of what they think is knowledge (which as often as not are just plain old delusions) and not enough caring for those who have been feeling the 'business end' of Big Brothers jack boot for decades, Black and Native Americans come foremost to my mind here. Not one word is lifted up for them, in fact their pitiful situations are denigrated, mocked and justified by a group of 'Christians' whose only virtue is the time they spend away from the internet and their hateful, wicked postings! I remember reading one posting in a newsgroup I subscribe to and the person said that Blacks get everything they want!?? They said that society just rolled over and gave Blacks all of their demands. Such stupidity and ignorance does not deserve a reply, one look at the massive wage disparities, incarceration rates and sentencing for the exact same crime shows the rank ignorance and perhaps, just plain evil of such a 'christian'. They are an oxymoron, not unlike 'pedophile priest'.
Brothers, love will cover a multitude of sins and love is what Christ called us to do; not talk about and theorize about, but do. When one makes the word love a verb and not a noun (an emotion), loving your brother takes on a whole new meaning. This is the primary and most serious problem out there in the so-called 'remnant' Christian community. There are too many GOP operatives misquoting scripture in order to get folks to Vote GOP or Tea Party, as though that is going to 'save America'. It won't, America is frankly a lost cause. It behooves we who are saved to be...
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
(Tit 2:13)
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Heb 12:2)
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
(2Pe 3:12)
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference:
(Jud 1:21-22)
Bretheren, be blessed, keep your eyes on Christ and love, really love your brother, no matter how old, young, Black, White, rich, poor, pretty or plain they look to you.

For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

New Gulf 'Spill' Continues To Spew Oil
Explosion, Fire Rock Wyoming Refinery PESR insiders, look for a note in your inbox in the next couple of days. It is amazing to me that hardly anyone out there in the blogosphere has picked up on what is really happening. I feel like I am watching an endless run of the movie 'clueless'. I will point out some of the real issues and how this definately relates to other major issues in the news right now. But because so many will abuse this hard hitting and very important information into the usual left-right clap trap that permeates the net, I will save it for long term readers and 'insiders'.
Oil Accident: One Million Gallons Of Oil Spill Into Michigan River
Can A Family That Spends $15k For Toilets At A Wedding Really Speak For Working Americans Who Are Losing Their Jobs? According to estimates and reports, the $3 to $5 million event on Saturday includes:
* $600,000 in air-conditioned tents, complete with glass walls
* $200,000 in extra security, paid for by the Clintons
* $15,000 in high-class toilets, according to online gossip site TMZ
* A guest list reported to include Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Streisand and Steven Spielberg among the 400 to 500 invitees
* Flowers arranged by Jeff Leatham, who’s worked with Madonna and other celebrities
* Wine as a party favor from Clinton Vineyards (which has no relation to the presidential family)
* A Federal Aviation Administration-enforced no-fly zone over Rhinebeck, the small New York town that includes Astor Courts, a picturesque mansion that’s hosting the event and overlooks the Hudson River ... the only thing missing is Nero, his violin and a massive fire. Our elites are as detached from reality as Nero, Caligula and Commodus all put together..

America: Take A Good Look At Yourself!
Over the weekend while I was relaxing the Lord made it clear that I was to write something, breif but to the point. He also made it clear that I would not know exactly what it was until I sat down to write it. What is the most important thing on the Lord;s mind with regards to America? I will tell you in one simple, easy to understand word. Repentance.
America needs to repent. Yet like the Residents of one of the most iniquitous cities known to man, America's response is 'repent of what' we are doing no evil and 'who set thee as a judge over us'? This has been the response of every reprobate generation since the time of Sodom. Americans, like the Sodomies and Gomorrah-ites of ancient times did not see themselves as evil. You know, I have an old copy of a hollywood film called 'Sodom and Gomorrah'. It was one of those biblical epics done back in the late 60's(?) that starred Steward Granger and Pier Angeli.
It was really quite good for it manages to be a great movie and really not offend anyone, which is really quite a writing and directorial trick given the subject matter. But in the film, Pier who plays the chief body slave to the queen of Sodom says to Lot (played by Granger)...
Ildith: "Evil? How strange you are. Where I come from, nothing is evil. Everything that gives pleasure is good."
Lot: "Where do you come from?"
Ildith: "There, not far. Just ahead: Sodom and Gomorrah."
Don't go rushing out to buy it because it is bad biblical history but it is rather entertaining and importantly, respects the God of the Bible, something Hollywood has gone to great pains to avoid doing in these last days of the United States Of America. They have gone so far as to attempt to force some of the highest grossing producers to go elsewhere to produce their movies because the script would not denigrate Christ or Church going people. This is tragic but as you know, it is the reality of 21st century America.
But like the days of old, so it is with America today, everything that gives pleasure is 'good'. So the nation goes on doing those things that God hates with a reckless abandon. Vices that are hideous and uncalled for in any decent society are now trumpeted as 'rights' and issues to have 'pride' in. In today's political arena you have competing abominations vying for political power, the 'Muslim massacre' crowd is fighting the baby killers and sodomites. The Trillion dollar theft boys are fighting those that want to strengthen the Narco terrorists and open up borders of US for the growing the heroin and cocaine markets. Left abominations versus right abominations, those who make Franken-foods and force them onto an unsuspecting public and men who are now working on genetically modifying humans for God knows what demonic purpose. Genetically modifying animals and sinning against creation not unlike what was done, long long ago.
And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms 2 and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they 3 became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed 4 all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against 5 them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and 6 fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones. - (Enoch Chapter 7)
This book is not in the bible but seems to have its endorsement (Jude 1:14), perhaps not for infallibility but as a rough history and for its apocalyptic relevance. It gives more detail of what took place in the days of Noah. Why should we read it?
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
(Mat 24:37)
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
(Mat 24:38)
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
(Luk 17:26)
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
(Luk 17:27)
Each group of reprobates today in America thinks that God is on their side as they all commit acts that he utterly loaths. But this is modern America, it is what she has become, our wealth and our military might have perverted the nation. I am not referring to a small slice of America, but the overwhelming majority of America, as evidenced by her voting patterns. Racists running around calling themselves Christians, fighting day and night to deny others the rights they themselves want to protect, for themselves and only for themselves while going out of their way to deny those rights to the black man, the Native American or the legal resident Hispanic. They wear their hate for their brother like a pentagram engraved cloak at a black mass. Then you have an entire religious organization that for years has not only protected child molesters but had hundreds, perhaps thousands of Priests involved in this purely demonic activity. What kind of spiritual guidance do you think you are going to get from a religion like that? “Come into the confessional Mrs. Jones, have your child undress for the pervert in the rectory, while you confess your sins... please take all the time you need?!” What kind of wickedness is this! They tout open borders for 'migrants' of whom many will come to the Church for assistance; they and their.. you guessed it, children. There are few more vulnerable to the wiles of these kinds of evil men than the children of an impoverished migrant. I am not just picking on the Catholics. You have all manner of sex sin, greed, avarice and other evils going on in the protestant denominations as well., unrepented of and unrebuked. Do they really think God is going to wink at this holding up of the gospel to such open and pervasive ridicule? I think not! These are the devils Christians, men and women who think they are Christ's and are not, but are there because the devil finds it convenient to use them as an image of hate and ridicule to turn millions away from the simplicity of the Gospel of Christ. The lost can see the devil in the pulpit and run to the book store to get a book on Buddhism, Taoism or Islam. Can you blame them? They seem to have a lot more spiritual discernment that most nominal Christians! They can smell the sulfur coming from the pulpit, why can't the Church goer? The real Christian in America is almost extinct, though there are pockets here and there of those who have not and will never deny their God. They are tried, true and faithful. They are his. They know it, and he knows it. We stand on the sure foundation of Christ Jesus.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
(2Ti 2:19)
America is not even thinking about repenting. The Churches will play act at repenting, while the pedophile does his thing in the Church and the Klansman hides is sheets just before his sermon on Sunday morning or Reverend Mammon conjures up some new financial scam to play on his parishoners to pay off his 10 million dollar mortgage. Is it any wonder no one is listening to Christians? The devil has done a number on Christianity by ensuring his agents sit in positions of leadership in many of your best known denominations. Allowing Gays into the Church, not as repentant sinners but in their reprobate state, women clergy, perverts in the pulpit. Dear readers, if God is angry with America, he is doubly so with what calls itself Christianity today. They have taken a cue from the devil, listened to his sermon, believed it and marketed it as 'Christianity'.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
(Rev 2:20-23)
The Spirit Of Jezebel Today
Nothing has really changed, only the devil has got much more organized and the days where men and women of God can sit in an institution like this and not be rebuked for it by God is long, long past. Like Lot, it is better to flee with the clothes on your back than die with all of your goods nearby.
Brothers, there is no repentance in America because first and foremost, she does not know how to repent. Her moral compass is utterly kaput. It no longer works; north says south and east says north and tomorrow, it will say something else. Their conscience, as the scriptures say, has been seared with a hot iron.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
(1Ti 4:1-3)
All kinds of strange and perverse doctrines are now part of what is called 'mainline' Christianity. Abominations openly flaunted and defended and virtues of holiness denigrated as 'narrow minded' and outdated. To them, Sodom was a godly community full of holy men and women. Lot and Abraham (the friend of God) were crotchety, old fashioned men who did not know God and were not spiritually 'enlightened'.
Brothers, and sisters, the darkness falling on America and the disasters that have already struck her and the far worse ones that will soon hit her, if she does not repent are the result of our sinfulness, our utter rejection of God and his gospel of love, light and truth. These disasters do not require a prophetic gift to foresee. Anyone who looks at our deficits, lost wars, corrupt politicians, the current covert war with China (pay attention here) can see it, provided their brain is still fully functional. But even this no longer a given in America's doped up society. All of this is the result of listening to and believing the devils sermon. A sermon that glorifies thefts, murder, torture, sodomy, baby killing, lies, dope dealing, war profiteering and every conceivable abomination under the sun, being done right here in America with the full knowledge and open (and something secret) consent of not only her government, but large portions of her increasingly reprobate population. You think the disaster in the Gulf was bad? You think we have economic troubles today? America has seen nothing yet, compared to what God has in store for America if she does not repent. For she unlike many nations in the world, America did once honor God, and then turned on him like a ungrateful child. America was once a golden cup in the Lord's hand, now she is a poison adder in his bosom. It is time to cast it away... forever.
You see, I can post stories all day along about what is really happening in America but the real fundamental issue is not Narco-gangs, unemployment, a weak President, Chinese special-op teams blowing up energy infrastructure, banksters robbing us of gazillions or one million men, women and children dead from our truly lunatic and evil war in Iraq. The real issue is this; America has rejected God, the God of the Bible that blessed her into the most sought after destination for people to visit and live for a century and a half. The most wonderful, greatest, richest, strongest nation the world has ever seen. The God our founders, with all of their faults, did not hesitate to pray to, nor were too pound to bow their heads in respect and honor to Christ. Today, if you mention Christ in the Senate or House, you are likely to have a motion of censure passed against you, in the Federal and State Capitols as well. So our nation is saying to God, 'We don't want you and we don't need you'. God is saying, 'I want you, but I sure don't need you, if you think my yoke is hard to bear which is only there to guide you where you should and should not go, wait till you feel the devils yoke. His yoke is for one purpose alone; To choke you to death. You want it, there... he has it right over there, but do not cry to me as you croak your last breath. I will not help you'.
So America has chosen that which does not profit for a few mindless pleasures and futile demonstrations of power and wealth. For what? Do these things bring us happiness? Do they bring peace? But America seems deaf to reason, and in her mad dash for the illusions the devil has put up for her to follow, she is selling her soul.
What is this rather unquiet, unsettling interlude we are seeing now all about? I will tell you. God is waiting for an ungrateful nation to turn away from those things God hates, and return to honoring and respecting God with words and deeds. This could take weeks, months, even a few years, for God is most merciful. But is America really going to change? I can tell you no, but God is still going to give us space to do so. If she does not, expect to see what America saw in the great depression, but with 20 other major problems that they did not have back then all converging on her at the same time... with no solutions. That is what is coming, and if America does not repent, I can assure you that not only will God not help us, he will aid our enemies and give them all the help and support they need to bring us down into the dust.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
(Isa 47:1)
Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
(Isa 47:5)
How can a virgin turn into a harlot? Easy. Commit fornication for money.
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
(Rev 18:2-3)
I know some of my readers do not understand this God and repentance thing. They like the information and the inside scoop on things. But I would be seriously remiss in my duty and calling if I did not warn the nation of its horrible sins. But while things may be hopeless for America, they are not for individuals. For God loves mankind and his hand of fellowship is still open for any who heed the call.
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
(Rev 22:16-17)

Four Economic Bombshells Bernake Hid From Congress - Weiss In his testimony before Congress last week, Ben Bernanke lifted the Fed’s skirt and gave us a glimpse of the disasters now sweeping through the U.S. economy.
But there are four bombshells he did NOT talk about:
FIRST and foremost, what’s CAUSING the economy to sink? The stock market has not yet crashed. Interest rates have not yet surged. Gasoline prices have not skyrocketed. There has been no recent debt collapse, market shock, or terrorist attack.
So what is the invisible force that’s suddenly gutting the housing market, driving consumer confidence into a sinkhole, and killing the recovery that Washington was so avidly touting just a few months ago?
Bernanke won’t say. But the answer is clear: The recovery had very little substance to begin with. Rather, it was, in essence, a mirage — a dead cat bounce bought and paid for by Washington’s massive bailouts, stimulus programs, and money printing.
Put another way, the recession never really ended. Yes, we saw some growth in GDP. And yes, thanks to that growth, some companies are still reporting better earnings — the news that spurred a rally in the stock market last week. But at the core of the economy, the fires that started the recession are still burning intensely.
SECOND, Bernanke failed to point how that …

Mexican Drug War Spills Into Texas - Front Page The drug conflict in Mexico has been growing for years into a full-scale guerilla war, and now it has spilled into Texas. There are contradictory reports that the Los Zetas drug gang has taken over at least two ranches near Laredo, Texas, forcing law enforcement to ask for federal intervention. The drug lords have become increasingly brutal and effective, have ties to foreign terrorist groups and have even set off a car bomb. As the U.S. fights two campaigns overseas, a lack of border security is permitting an insurgency south of the border to threaten us at home.
On July 16, the U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Lavedo in Mexico issued a warning that there were “credible reports of widespread violence occurring now between narcotics trafficking organizations and the Mexican army in Nuevo Lavedo.” The Zetas, which have hired former military personnel including special forces, blocked off roads and threw grenades. All Americans in the area were told to stay inside.

Task Force 373 - Guardian The Nato coalition in Afghanistan has been using an undisclosed "black" unit of special forces, Task Force 373, to hunt down targets for death or detention without trial. Details of more than 2,000 senior figures from the Taliban and al-Qaida are held on a "kill or capture" list, known as Jpel, the joint prioritised effects list.
In many cases, the unit has set out to seize a target for internment, but in others it has simply killed them without attempting to capture. The logs reveal that TF 373 has also killed civilian men, women and children and even Afghan police officers who have strayed into its path.

The River War -
By Winston Churchill
When
the self-proclaimed Mahdi (“Guided One”) gathered
Islamic forces
and kicked the Anglo-Egyptians out of the Sudan, he unleashed a
backlash. With the image of the heroic General Charles Gordon dying at
Khartoum, the British public was ready to support a war to reclaim the
lost territories. And when the political time was right, a
British-Egyptian-Sudanese expedition led by the redoubtable Herbert
Kitchener set out to do just that.
The
river involved was the Nile. For millennia, its annual flood has
made habitable a slender strip, though hundreds of miles of deserts,
between its tributaries and its delta. Through this desolate region,
man and beast struggled to supply the bare essentials of life. Though
this same region, the expedition had to find and defeat an enemy
several times larger than itself.
The
young Churchill was hot to gain war experience to aid his career,
and so he wangled a transfer to the 21st Lancers and participated in
the last successful cavalry charge the world ever saw, in the climactic
battle of Omdurman. He also had a position as war correspondent for the
Morning Post, and on his return to England he used his notes to compose
this book.

The
Ecclesiastical History by bishop Eusebius of Caesarea Palestina
(ca. 263-339). Eusebius, who was an eyewitness to some of the events
described in his book and had access to archival documents for other
sections, describes the emergence of the Christian church, its
teachers, leaders, heresies, persecutions and eventual dominance under
the Byzantine emperor Constantine. This was the first full-length
historical narrative written from a Christian point of view. Eusebius
presents the history of the Church from the apostles to his own time,
with special regard to the following points:
1.
the successions of bishops in the principal sees
2. the history of Christian teachers
3. the history of heresies
4. the history of the Jews
5. the relations to the heathen
6. the martyrdoms. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)

Dell Shipped Motherboards With Malware - The Inquirer The problem relates to a small number of Poweredge server motherboards sent out through service dispatches that may contain malware.
So far there have been no complaints about data security due to the malware, which seems to only be a risk on machines that run Windows.
This issue is not present on motherboards shipped new with Poweredge systems and is only related to replacement mainboards.(end excerpt)
Little Stories like this are most telling, but you have to ID and then get the pro-advertiser spin out to understand it. Major tech magazines are never going to slam the big boys like Dell HP Intel Microsoft, without doing thier best to paint their bread and butter (read advertisers) in the best possible light.
Just as the New Macbooks were coming out, Apple offered government employees, massive price reductions if they would buy one. The offer was very tempting and many, many top folks, mid-level and lower level folks bit the 'Apple' and bought one. There was one major problem, some IT folks in the government did some tests on those Macbooks and found some of the most highly sophisticated technology built into the hardware (some call it nano-tech, but I am not sure that is the technically correct term for it and while others don't think we have this capability they are right, we don't, these others nations are not light years, but light centuries ahead of us in this field) that would allow Surrupticiious monitoring and also for launching Denial of Service attack with the proper commands. The tech folks in the government screamed and screamed about it and nobody listened. Apple was too big a player not to let them eat at the government trough. Well, it turns out that a certain nation from the East was very much responsible for inserting that hardware into those computers. A nation that happens to make many of these computers. What about the iPad? Take a look for yourself.
At least one Justice Department employee was among the more than 114,000 iPad users who had their information exposed. Gawker reported the list included “staffers in the Senate, House of Representatives, Department of Justice, NASA, Department of Homeland Security, FAA, FCC, and National Institute of Health, among others.” A screenshot posted on Gawker’s website also showed a blacked out e-mail address that ended in “@usdoj.gov.”
Two of the Justice Department’s most prominent iPad users are Attorney General Eric Holder and National Security adviser Amy Jeffress, according to Politico. Lawyers said the device is popular within the Justice Department because, in addition to its wide range of applications and features, it can display PDF files. - Main Justice
Is anyone in the Department of Ostrich Affairs in the US gov't listening? No, they can't with their heads buried in the sand. For those of you who may have purchased a consumer level Macbooks don't worry, you are safe. It is the ones targeted to HIGHLY SENSITIVE departments in the US government that were the ones that appear to have been infected, by design (and almost certainly without anyone in Apples consent).
Perhaps you can understand that Mr. Jobs illness a couple of years ago was almost certainly not naturally occurring. In short, insiders tell me he was poisoned or why Bill Gates had his company ripped from under him (oh yes he did) a few years ago. I am not picking on Apple, MS or Dell. All of your major computer companies have to play in this cesspool if they want to remain in business, competitive or alive. It is just the nature of the beast, so don't go trashing your Apples or Dell's, you will just be switching the devil for his evil twin brother. This is why I sound like a one note wonder sometimes on internet security. 99% of you out there have no clue as to what is really happening out there and just how pervasive the beast is, and what it is collecting (all of your usernames, passwords, CC and bank acct numbers, friends, recording all of your phone calls) without you having the slightest clue or who is behind it and why or that it is even going on. They do not know that other than one or two privacy service options, there are no privacy services out there. Almost(?) All of them are logging your IP surrupticiously and then logging all of your internet activity, sending it to Ft. Meade, Tel-Aviv, Moscow, Beijing or Sao-Paulo. There was one who just until recently had real privacy and did what it promised (A rare things these days with internet companies touting privacy). But the guy who ran it (who lives in Texas) ran into some serious financial difficulty and his multi-jurisdictional service was running on fumes, financially. Last year he got a major infusion of cash from a German business executive and investor who has ties to 'eastern' intelligence. Then he got a large sum of money from some interesting people in the Middle East. Now he has lots of money, no more cash flow problems. Now I cannot say for sure that he has turned on his customers, but in my book that is a pretty good indications that if he hasn't yet, he will soon... he'll have no choice. That was the only one that was any good. Former Presidents, Secretary's of States, First Lady's, WH Chiefs of Staff, General Officers, Corporate Executives, spooks & NSA employees (when they do their own personal surfing) and others 'in the know' use this one. They knew it was the only game out there that was truly anonymous. Well, I do not think it is any longer. Now dear readers, I am not going to blast and be too hard on this poor guy and make him into some kind of 'bad guy' or 'goat' here.. He has had spooks and spies from all over the planet stalking him for years, with and without his knowledge. He was a major target by intelligence services and criminal gangs for years. I am surprised he lasted as long as he did under that kind of pressure. In fact, I cannot even be certain he knows who is helping him out with his bills. It is entirely possible that at this time, he has no clue.
All of this leaves us with this question. What is there out there that is any good? There is one thing that is still fairly (but not without some issues) good, but lest somebody out there with budgetary authority in the NSA decides to read Watson's Web today, I will not mention it, lest suddenly millions of taxpayer dollars gets allocated to destroy this privacy service. Because I am here to tell you, most of your efforts to destroy privacy today in America track right back to the NSA. That is the only reason I am not putting it up here now. The rest of them, I warn you most solemnly, DO NOT TRUST THEM. They are run either by spooks or organized crime.
But the trend now is to put the malware and interesting new spying tech right into the hardware using technology at the microscopic level. The future will have infected memory chips, motherboards, hard drives and video cards. It is in essence the infection of a significant portion of the supply chain to gather information or wage cyber-attacks surrupticiously. Foreign governments can get away with it because the companies they will use (usually without their knowledge) will be so powerful in the US as to be deemed 'too big to fail' and no one will do anything about it. This is already a most serious problem. As 30-50% of the worlds computers are now infected with two companies whose software work in tandem to steal information (mostly credit card info) and send it to the Narco gangs south of the border. These companies have known agents of the criminal underworld sitting on their Boards of directors. The FBI and Justice department know, but do nothing. Why? Too big to fail, prosecute or even tell them to stop.
So folks, please be careful out there this is not 'chicken little' talk. This is the modern reality and if you don't listen you will wind up like this. And who says that search engine you use isn't selling your data, or handing it all over in raw form to the DHS or NSA?. Get a clue, that is how many make their money! If Uncle Sam is willing to pay, they are willing to spy.
This is the age of betrayal. I know many of my readers do not understand why I go on about this. They want more 'hell fire and brimstone' talk. Well, this is about practical wisdom and common sense in this age. You do not go wading into shark infested waters thinking a rubber dingy is going to protect you, as those sharks are really dangerous. So take this as a word of knowledge and information that can keep you from becoming the victim of serious crime, blackmail or even worse. If you are reading this, you are on the internet and are being actively spied on weather you wish to accept it or not.

Be Encouraged - WW Brothers, I ask all of you to be encouraged in these difficult times. If you love, serve and honor Christ, not just with your words but with your deeds, God will surely bless you and keep you in these most difficult of times. I know things are hard for many of you, so does God. If we walk in the light, I can assure you God is with you and will guide your steps. The key I have learned is to keep your eyes on Christ, not on the world or your present situation. God will protect you, watch over you and guide you. But the one thing that is really needed in a victorious walk that is often overlooked. Courage. Courage to face things in light of God's word. That is how men like Joshua tamed Canaan. He had true faith, heard and obeyed the Lord when he told him to be very courageous.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
(Jos 1:5-7)
God loves each and every one of us and will keep his promises, our Job is to do those things he commanded. Faith is the key. Faith gives us courage to face tomorrow and to do it joyfully in Christ. My experience is this; God richly rewards faith. Unbeleif leads to cowardice and fear. These are not of God. I can tell you now, there will be no faithless cowards in heaven. If those traits are yours, God is going to have to root it out of you and that may turn out to be a not-so-pleasant experience. Brethern, I can think of no better passage of scripture to kindle ones faith that Hebrews Chapter 11. In it we find how the saints of old conquered their battles with their faith. I am always reminded of Abraham, the friend of God (James 2:23) and how he did exactly what God told him, not knowing where he was going, and God blessed his ways. How many of you would really do what Abraham did? Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: '.
But for one moment, look at the promise given to Joshua, "that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest". God promised him success in his godly endeavors. Now many twist this verse to support the 'property Consumerism Lord-buy-me-a-BMW prosperity Gospel', but that simply is not the teaching in this verse. Nor does it teach that Christians will have success in ungodly undertakings. It is that when God gives you a job to do, and we are obedient to him, his plans always come to fruition and success, though not without some battles and opposition. These battles are just the evidence of the nature of the battlefield we are on. We are in enemy territory where satan rules as the prince of this world. As Joshua had to enter enemy territory and fight to enter into the promise land, so do we. But our war is not a war for worldly crowns, secular empires, booty or nations, but rather, is a spiritual battle. Our primary goal is to enter into the promise land that Christ promises to all who serve and honor him in spirit and in truth.
So bretheren, I say these things to you now because our nation is under attack, many Christians are also under spiritual attack and the fog of war is confusing and casting down the spirits of many saints. This war we are in is both spiritual and temporal and they are struggling with their faith and are most troubled with the things they see in our world. My advise is simple. Remember - none of these things have taken God by surprise, not one. Not the Gulf disaster, not the Narco Gangs, not massive deficits, not millions of jobless Americans. God knows the end from the beginning. He is not surprised and he is still on the Throne.
So have faith, do not dwell on the troubles of our world. But rather, dwell on Christ and learn to take some time out to laugh, shoot the breeze with a neighbor, have lunch with a friend, take a trip to the beach or mountains, or just sit in the back yard and play with your kids. But whatever you do, be encouraged, fret not and give no opportunity to the devil. Though we should not get over burdened with what is happening in our troubled, sick world, we must always be watchful and not be ignorant.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
(1Ti 6:12)

Massive Explosions, Oil Spill Hit Chinese Port - LAT For those of you who I have been talking to me over the last couple of months about the BP oil spill and whom I gave some background info to, this story is most relevant. Why? Who was it who said, 'Revenge is dish best served cold'? I don't know, but I first heard it on Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan.
For obvious reasons I will not belabor this except to say this, but I will say this: I am not guessing. And you know what? Somebody owes BP one massive, humoungous apology. Because like I told my readers from the beginning, they were not the cause of this attack (not 'accident', not 'spill' but ATTACK) in the Gulf and there is no reason to see a company go under for someone else's malfeasanse, though I suspect some other major US oil companies are circling like sharks for the kill to get all of those drilling rights BP now has around the world. Indeed, some of the (so-called) leaked documents we have seen out there in the blogosphere were not BP documents. The US Justice Department is currently investigating who is trying to smear BP with these clear, incontravertible forgeries. I think the list is pretty short.
Have you filled your tank today? Which Major oil company did you use?
PESR insiders can go back and read the 'Target America' section and get an idea of what is really happening. But like I told my readers some time ago, President Obama gave us a pretty big hint in his speech when he said that the Gulf incident had echoes of 911.
Perhaps now you can understand how and why so much of the blogosphere (left, right and alternative) are too easily manipulated with 'hot button' news designed to get you emotional, angry and take you down red-herring road.

Racism: It Cuts Both Ways - MSNBC A black USDA official in Georgia has resigned after publicly admitting she didn't help a white man trying to save his farm to the "full force" of her power and instead referred him to "one of his own."
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he had accepted Shirley Sherrod's resignation, saying there was "zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA."
The NAACP, which recently condemned racism in tea party groups , also issued a statement Monday night saying: "Racism is about the abuse of power. Sherrod had it in her position at USDA. According to her remarks, she mistreated a white farmer in need of assistance because of his race."(end excerpt)
More here with a different slant. NAACP Retracts its condemnation as full context revealed.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Obama's Henchmen Target Family Farms - Axis Of Logic As part of a five-hour-plus search of her barn and home, the agents -- from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, Los Angeles County Sheriff, Ventura County Sheriff, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture -- took the replacement computer, along with milk she feeds her chickens and pigs.
While no one will say officially what the purpose of this latest raid was, aside from being part of an investigation in progress, what is very clear is that government raids of producers, distributors, and even consumers of nutritionally dense foods appear to be happening ever more frequently. Sometimes they are meant to counter raw dairy production, other times to challenge private food organizations over whether they should be licensed as food retailers.
Earlier in June, agents of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, escorted by police and also bearing search warrants, raided and shut down Traditional Foods Warehouse, a popular food club in Minneapolis specializing in locally-produced foods. They also raided two farms suspected of illegally selling raw milk. And in a national first among such raids, agents searched a private home and made off with computers; the family's offense appears to have been that it allowed one of the raw dairy farmers to park in its driveway to distribute raw milk to area residents who had ordered it.
Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection has launched three raids over the last three months on the dairy farm and farm store of Vernon Hershberger, near Madison. The day after DATCP agents placed seals on his fridges storing raw dairy products in July, Hershberger cut the seals, and announced he was going to challenge the agency's contention he needs a dairy and retail license to sell his products. Obtaining such licenses would be problematic, though, since Wisconsin prohibits sale of raw milk, except "incidental" sales, and defining "incidental" has been a bone of contention for many years. In any event, Hershberger contends he sells only to consumers who contract privately for his food.

“They came in the dark, shining bright flashlights while my family was asleep, keeping me from milking my cows, from my family, from breakfast with my family and from our morning devotions, and alarming my children enough so that the first question they asked my wife was, ‘Is Daddy going to jail?’”
That’s how Amish farmer Dan Allgyer described an early morning visit last week from two FDA agents, two U.S. Marshals, and a Pennsylvania state trooper. Apparently, investigating a single farmer for possibly trafficking raw milk across state lines requires a show of force.
“I became aware of the cars as soon as I walked out on the sidewalk as part of my morning routine around 4:30 a.m. and immediately said to myself something is going on,” Allgyer wrote in a statement for the National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association. “I was watching and noticed three cars were cruising down right behind each other, and immediately thought, hey, that looks like trouble. I watched and pretty soon one car came back and parked on my neighbor’s farm, on private property.” - Daily Caller

The Greatest National Security Threat Since The Soviet Union: Amish Milk
This present administration is probably hooking up with local law enforcement to do its dirty work so they can avoid blame in an election year. When you have a President who uses advisors from Monsanto, a company with a encyclopedia of wrongs committed against its competitors and ordinary people, you can get a better picture of what is going on here. They will use the FDA to shut down all competition using legal harassment and new laws designed specifically for that purpose. For those of you who have never seen it, go and watch 'The World According to Monsanto', you will never ever forget it.
This is why Washington is so messed up. If you pay enough money you can have a non-problem become a major national security issue, while Thousands of terrorists come across our southern border from Iran, Afghanistan, Special Ops troops from China Russia and a host of other places. Meanwhile, the President sits there with a blank stare, won't act and pretends as though he never heard of Mexico. So the Federal agents are raiding Amish Farms for the crime of having raw milk on the premisis, not protecting our borders.

Islamic America - Various Anti-mosque marchers proudly paraded their opposition for a mile along East Main Street to the Public Square on Murfreesboro Wednesday.
They carried flags of America and Israel, sang, "God Bless America," and carried many signs, including: "Mosque leaders support killing converts. Tell it!"
While the crowd from both protesters and counter protesters appeared to number 500 to 600 at its peak - police estimated the crowd at 1,000, protest march organizer Kevin Fisher estimated that several hundred marched in his group alone from Central Magnet School to the County Courthouse. - KSDK
***
Muslims throughout Temecula and Murrieta have saved up for years to build a mosque to replace the plain white industrial building, tucked between a pipeline company and packaging warehouse, where they now gather to pray.
But as the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley moves ahead with plans to build on a four-acre plot of vacant land near Temecula's gentle hills and invading housing developments, plans for the new mosque have stirred hostility in this mostly conservative community in southwest Riverside County.
Along with increased traffic and noise, opponents fear the mosque would clash with Temecula's rural atmosphere and, they say, possibly turn the community of 105,000 into a haven for Islamic extremists. - LA Times
***
Muslim American organizations have launched what they say will be the most comprehensive survey of mosques in the United States in a decade.
"This is the biggest mosque survey since 9/11," said Ihsan Bagby, an Islamic studies professor at the University of Kentucky, who is leading this survey and worked on the last one, in 2000.
The survey will again provide figures for the number of U.S. mosques and the number of Muslims associated with those and attempt to ascertain the status of women in them.
New questions will focus on radicalization and whether it is considered a growing problem in Muslim communities. - WP
(end excerpts)
Where is the money coming from to build these Mosques and prostelyze in America? I can tell you where. Check out this. Friends of mine who have worked with the FBI on some cases involving these Mosques will tell you there are a lot more things going on in some of them than 'prayers' and the reading of the koran and some of the leaders in them are getting money from places like Iran. It is rather scary because no one wants to do anything about it, certainly not our President who is more than willing to watch thousands of Christians die at the hands of Islamic lunatics and say and do nothing about it and then goes about and makes speeches glorifying their persecutors. Stories like this and this are a daily occurance in our world. This is the real legacy of Islam; Forced conversions, threatening assaulting and even killing converts, this is what their religion teaches them is OK and good and wins them points with their god. What is Obama doing about it? Nothing. And why do you have to go to a foreign news source (or Christian organization) to even find out about so much of the persecutions going on? Our MSM and the corporations that control them do not want to offend the new growing markets (read Islamic nations) and want contracts to broadcast there. So they self censor and will not cover massacres, imprisonings and other persecutions.
Read these two links carefully and with an open mind, you will see how the definition of 'Christian' and 'Muslim' are key to understand the controversy over Obama's supposed Christian profesion. Has he merely told Americans what they wanted to hear to get elected, 'I am a Christian'?

You see in an Islamic society, you become a Muslim or you do not get decent work, you do not get to hold certain jobs, you do not get real police protection. Do you want to know why so many Muslims are Muslims, because if they aren't their families will persecute them and even kill them. This is not the Islam you hear about in the WP or the NYT but it is the reality of Islam where Sharia law is in effect.
Listen folks I do not hate Muslims, not in the least, I have no animosity towards them on any level. My problem is with their religion, which is killing Christians at an alarming rate and stirring up trouble for a lot of other peace loving people.
You know what is so sad about this? Those on the left will not think twice about letting in a Mosque, especially if it angers those 'pesky Christians'. So they will sit silent and say nothing about it, even encouraging it, thinking that Sharia law will not effect them. Do you know what Islamic law's views on Sodomy are? You think Christians are draconian?! Do you know why that Bomb went off in Uganda? Because the Islamic radicals do not like people watching sports! So they plant a bomb where the World Cup is playing.
After several years of threats and warnings, al-Shabaab’s Somali jihad has finally spilled across Somalia’s borders to its East African neighbors. On July 11, bombs ripped through the Ethiopian Village Restaurant and the Kyadondo Rugby Club in Kampala, killing 74 civilians gathered to watch the World Cup finale. Somali Islamists have violently opposed the viewing of soccer matches in the past, saying the time could be better spent studying the Koran. Ethiopians are especially hated by al-Shabaab because of their country’s military occupation of Somalia from December 2006 to January 2009. - Jamestown
Go ahead Gay America, think this won't effect you and that you will still be able to stick your pecker other man's backside when these Islamics get real power. Brother... they'll chop that little thing off and have you singing soprano in the Islamic choir if you want to keep your head! You will long for the days that your only problem were a few Christians telling of of the wages of sin and warning you in love, to change your ways. You think you will be able to keep on watching the NFL and drink beer You had better get a clue! These Islamic radicals will change all of that and Women Rights... don't get me started.
This is not a good trend and those who think it is are just kidding themselves, Women, Christians and Gays in particular.

LA Judge Strips Mel Gibson Of 'Lethal Weapons' - NYP As you know, I rarely post Hollywood scandals as news, but this one is interesting on one important level. Last year I asked one federal investigator about Mel and why he would leave his wife and kids while claiming to be a devout Catholic. The agent then paused a moment pondering how to answer a person who was not really in insider. He said, "Well, let me tell you this about that, ever heard of extortion? Ever heard of Russian Organized Crime (OC) ever heard of the FSB (formerly the KGB)? They love to get their hooks into Hollywood stars, producers and directors. You would be shocked if you knew which ones were 'all mobbed up'." Now this federal agent who gave me this tip, I asked him knowing what he knew if he went to movies. To which he promptly answered.
"(Expletive deleted) No."
"I am not saying this (OC activity) is the case here... but... let us just leave it there for now". Then he promptly changed the subject. Remember, this conversation took place many months ago.
Link One
Link Two
Look at it this way, if this was an OC operation (and I do mean if), whatever they wanted Mel to do, he wouldn't do and that is why they are out to 'change his mind' and destroy him. This is not to say Mel does not have some 'issues'. Other incidents seem to indicate he does, but we should not be too quick to judge, the truth is often both more complicated and interesting than we think and the headlines let us believe.

The KGB Is Back! - Earth Times A law expanding the rights of the Russia's secret service (FSB) cleared its final hurdle Monday when the Federation Council voted in its favour, the news agency Interfax reported.
The law now only needs the signature of President Dmitry Medvedev, who put forward the bill.
Once implemented it will allow the FSB to act against citizens without any evidence. Those of whom it is suspicious can be invited to "precautionary talks" to prevent the possibility of a criminal act "against the country's security."
Those who refuse to show up for such "precautionary talks" could face a fine of around 1,500 dollars or spend 15 days in detention.(end excerpt)
As long time readers of Watson's Web know, I never thought the Russians went away. Never. Years ago when the USSR broke apart, I was suspicious. When I saw that all of the KGB folks just changed their political labels and remained in top jobs or went into business and still ran things, my suspicions were only heightened. I watch what is happening in Russia today and can only shake my head that so few inside our National Security establishment can see the obvious.
God willing, I will write a paper on this and some events in Mexico in the not too distant future to give folks both an idea of the threats facing our nation, where it all fits in prophetically and why what is coming towards America and the worlds Christians is coming at us like a sledgehammer and nobody.... I mean NOBODY in the Christian and prophetic community sees where this is really coming from, they have missed it. I know, I go to these sites almost everyday and they are not seeing what is coming and from where. Look to the east, the east the EAST... not the west, which is crumbling now under the weight of its own corruption, internal subversion and incompetence.
Our Intelligence community should know about these things in Russia but they don't, not really which leads us to our next story...

US Intel Community: Broken, Inefficient And Beyond Control - WP The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.
(end excerpt)
While I am thankful that the WaPo is shedding some light on this most important issue, the article reveals nothing that regular readers of this site do not already know and the rapid expansion of our so-called 'intelligence capabilities' has much less to do with collecting, analyzing and distributing good intelligence than it does to do with keeping large contractors like Booz Allen, Raytheon, Rand and a couple of dozen other billion dollar players rolling in taxpayer dough. It is one of the biggest scams out there and I am here to tell you, very few of you, unless you have worked in the community know just how bad it is. Good information gets trashed and the irrelevant gets blown up out of all proportion, Information that could threaten entrenched political interests never gets analyzed and God help anyone who tries. But the Post article does hit on one major point here that is most important.
At its best, analysis melds cultural understanding with snippets of conversations, coded dialogue, anonymous tips, even scraps of trash, turning them into clues that lead to individuals and groups trying to harm the United States.
Their work is greatly enhanced by computers that sort through and categorize data. But in the end, analysis requires human judgment, and half the analysts are relatively inexperienced, having been hired in the past several years, said a senior ODNI official. Contract analysts are often straight out of college and trained at corporate headquarters.
When hired, a typical analyst knows very little about the priority countries - Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan - and is not fluent in their languages. Still, the number of intelligence reports they produce on these key countries is overwhelming, say current and former intelligence officials who try to cull them every day. The ODNI doesn't know exactly how many reports are issued each year, but in the process of trying to find out, the chief of analysis discovered 60 classified analytic Web sites still in operation that were supposed to have been closed down for lack of usefulness. "Like a zombie, it keeps on living" is how one official describes the sites. - WP
This is one of the major problems in the Intel community, they are looking for people who have all the right 'credentials' on paper but know next to nothing about the incredibly complex world we live in. I saw the beginnings of this years ago when I worked in the 'community'. The folks who were coming in were just of the lowest caliber and not fitted for intelligence work. It takes a rare individual to really be a good analyst. He or she must be able to really understand his or her enemy or target and be able to place his or herself in the other guys shoes. That requires years (10+) of experience and outside reading. Lots of it. When I was an analyst, my co-workers would always jibe me because I had a desk loaded with books and studies from seemingly unrelated disciplines. They did not understand why I was such a 'pack rat'. But guess who it was they came to when they had a question about this our that? Yours truly.
A good analyst has an insatiable curiosity, always maintains an open mind and has the innate ability to take small seemingly unrelated data points and put them together in a coherent fashion. He must be able to talk to those who have expertise and disciplines that may not necessarily seem to be related to his or her own field. In short, one must be able to think and sometimes act outside of the box. Having a great deal of street sense also helps. If one is never really exposed to the seedy underside of human behavior, it is hard for them to conceptualize how those that do use such methods operate.
Today's community does not really allow for such free thinking and open mindedness. Group-think is the rule of the day and that is why anyone who questions the prevailing delusions winds up counting floor tiles in the basement until they retire, or standing in the Lobby, greeting dignitaries when they arrive, rather than analyzing intelligence. Group think and the obsession with 'fitting in', 'political correctness' and closed minded (non) analysis are the ways to promotion in today's intelligence community. The ability to tout the party line no matter now non-sensical, this is how one gets your higher GS ratings. It is why we are losing in Afghanistan, Baghdad is the most dangerous city in the world, Mexico is falling apart before our eyes, China can take down our most sensitive government computer systems, cause our stock market to crash over 1000 points and our only response is to cover it all up. Very few have the 'stones' to stand up and say what the real problems are and the real threats lie. They get slapped down so fast and so far they never get up again. Because today's intelligence community is about money, contracts and perpetuating intelligence frauds to keep the money flowing to keep wars going that should never have been fought in the first place.
Right now, most of you do not think this is relevant to you in your safe little worlds. It will matter very much when our enemies run rings around us while our Intelligence community sits in their backsides tracking 'Ali' in the desert because somebody thinks they saw him in a Mosque once and now we are spending millions of dollars using all kinds of high tech equipment to do it with, while heavily armed Narco Gangs head North to the US southwest, outgunning all of the civilian police and Military personnel stationed on the border. They will wonder where they got that high tech hardware, tanks (hey... where'd they get those from?!), helicopter gunships, highly encrypted comm gear, infrared sighting equipment, ECM gear to evade being targeted by US military hardware... not for a full fledged invasion but to enforce their narco-territories... inside the US. Our intel community will find out the hard way what has been stashed inside Mexico, purchased from nations who have been working to take us down for years. Hey... it isn't like these guys don't have the money for all of this stuff. No one will see it now because there are no contracts to see it and powerful constituencies inside the US that will scream bloody murder if too many of these geopolitical 'rocks' get looked under. Sadly all of our money is going to tracking 'Ali', the sheep header who visited a Mosque one day while visiting his sick Uncle in a nearby village. He did not know that ever since that day he was deemed a 'terrorist' by the US, though he has no love for terrorists and does not consort with them. Why are they tacking the innocent sheephearder and hundreds others like him? In this world of intelligence, if the threat does not exist, they must create one, blow it up out of all proportion to keep those dollars flowing. These contractors are going by the old axiom for all DC consultants.
If it ain't broke, break it and have your proposal ready to fix whatever it is you broke.
That is why the community is broken and will stay broken as long as Uncle Sam relies on them to both fund their campaigns and to provide them with special intelligence. Uncle Sam is like a blind man relying on a driver to take him where he needs to go and instead of taking him there, the driver takes him to the local 'clip joint' to get rolled. When he wakes up from his stupor his pockets are empty and his charge cards are maxed out. That is what relying on these contractors is like. They are only going to show us what they want us to see.
Meanwhile the Intel Community scared to death of any public scrutiny of its operations and vast (I mean VAST) misappropration of funds, is spinning like a wheel of a car turned upside down at full gas.

Conservative Fantasies: Black Panthers, Holder And Obama - Raw Story A Bush administration civil rights appointee says the conservative media uproar over allegations the Justice Department is protecting the New Black Panther Party from voter-intimidation prosecution is a "fantasy" designed to oust Attorney General Eric Holder and harm the Obama administration.
"This doesn’t have to do with the Black Panthers; this has to do with their fantasies about how they could use this issue to topple the [Obama] administration,” Abigail Thernstrom, former vice chairwoman of the US Commission on Civil Rights, told Politico.
“My fellow conservatives on the commission had this wild notion they could bring Eric Holder down and really damage the president,” Thernstrom said.
(end excerpt)
A rather interesting story from the beginning. I do not really know what to make of it, but voter intimidation is as old as the death of Caesar. My impression here is that there is probably some hanky panky going on here that may relate to Acorn. But this is American politics, Obama did not get into office without his own dirty tricks. All major candidates do it. Here, the real issue that has conservative talking heads complaining is that Blacks organized and helped get a Black man elected. That, dear readers is the real issue. To these conservatives, Black Americans are supposed to just sit home all day and wait for their welfare checks, not organize for real political power and play the game as it has been played for two hundred some years in America. That is the 'hot button' they are trying to push.
I do not want to make light of voter intimidation, no matter who commits it. I do not want to make light of voter fraud, no matter who commits it. Today, strong arm tactics and other methods of corrupting our political system are being employed to ensure, not a Democratic or GOP victory, but (this is key, so pay attention) to ensure those interests who have long made billions off of Government contracts, use the power of the state to enrich themselves and seek to use the state to violently repress those who are not wealthy (inside and outside America), have their agenda pushed as far and as quickly as possible and whichever party or politician can do this, will get into power. The GOP/Democrat balance is utterly irrelevant. That is why it is a vain attempt to think either of your two major parties or the new subverted one (many major chapters of the Tea Party) are going to do anything but continue on this juggernaught to hell. You are dealing with people and interests who see national sovereignty as a disease and 6 billion hungry mouths on earth as a problem that needs to be solved by 'population control'. These people are for real and they control both parties and vote fraud is one of the ways they maintain political power. The sad part is the foot soldiers have no clue as to whom they are really working for. They may think they are helping their people out, but do not know that the real power whom they are unwittingly supporting have nothing but a death camp in mind for them. Democracy, real democracy was designed to be a check on this kind of power. But in America we do not have one, not anymore. Sure people vote, but the 'votes' are counted before folks arrive at the polling station. Did you know that some Democratic Congressmen were threatened (very credibly) with having key officials at polling places in their districts throw elections against them if they did not vote for Obamacare? That it was elements of the GOP that were instrumental in the mechanics of carrying out those threats? Do you want to know why some folks suddenly changed their votes at the last minute?
Now you know why.
The system is rotten and the only kind of person who can get to the top is one that is just as rotten.

American Wars Teaching Gang Members New Techniques - Raw Story Gang members in the US military are returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan armed with knowledge of military tactics, a fact that could threaten the lives of law enforcement officers in the US and worsen the gang problem, according to a new report from the Chicago Sun-Times.
Jeffrey Stoleson, a Wisconsin corrections officer who has completed multiple tours in Iraq, also told the Sun-Times that civilian contractors are a part of the growing drug-gang problem within the US's overseas wars. Stoleson says he was "involved in destroying a large quantity of drugs confiscated from US contractors in Iraq."
An unnamed Chicago police officer who served in Afghanistan said Bagram Air Base is "covered with Chicago gang graffiti," the Sun-Times reported. That same officer said that, since returning to Chicago, he has arrested gang members who had the Army's combat manual at home.(end excerpt)
There is a lot more going on here on this front than meets the eye. Let me ask you this question. Where do you think the Narco Cartels who are tied in with foreign nations hostile to the US will recruit their foot soldiers for their coming turf and other battles coming to the US? I cannot say for certain, but I would strongly suspect these men and women would be top of their list. But the US is not the only plave having problems with criminal gangs.
Organised crime networks have set up phoney companies and employment agencies to abuse the "points-based" visa system, introduced under Labour in 2008, which puts responsibility on employers to "sponsor" migrant workers.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) warned that the tactic allowed foreign criminals to be brought into Britain legitimately on work permits.
Scotland Yard has said that around half of London's organised crime gangs are "cultural networks" whose members share a foreign nationality - typically from countries such as Turkey, China and Vietnam whose citizens require visas to come to Britain. - Telegraph
Those newer readers to this site should read my older piece called 'Race Wars' (101 Pages). There I talk about the issue of these troops getting into gangs and some other issues that are intertwined. For more recent info, you may want to take a peek at the FBI's latest report on gangs, which can be found here.

The Disappearing Intellectual in the Age of Economic Darwinism - Market Oracle The demise of democracy is now matched by the disappearance of vital public spheres and the exhaustion of intellectuals. Instead of critical and public intellectuals, faculty are increasingly defined less as intellectuals than as technicians, specialist and grant writers. Nor is there any attempt to legitimate higher education as a fundamental sphere for creating the agents necessary for an aspiring democracy. In fact, the commitment to democracy is beleaguered, viewed less as a crucial educational investment than as a distraction that gets in the way of connecting knowledge and pedagogy to the production of material and human capital. In short, higher education is now being retooled as part of a larger political project to bring it in tune with the authority and values fostering the advance of neoliberalism. I think David Harvey is right in insisting, "the academy is being subjected to neoliberal disciplinary apparatuses of various kinds [while] also becoming a place where neoliberal ideas are being spread."[17]
As a core political and civic institution, higher education rarely appears committed to addressing important social problems. Instead, many have become unapologetic accomplices to corporate values and power and, in doing so, increasingly make social problems either irrelevant or invisible. Steeped in the same market driven values that produced the 2008 global economic recession along with a vast amount of hardships and human suffering in many countries around the globe, higher education mimics the inequalities and hierarchies of power that inform the failed financial behemoths - banks and investment companies in particular - that have become public symbols of greed and corruption.

Seabed Seepage Found - Toledo Blade Engineers monitoring BP's damaged oil well detected seepage on the sea floor that could mean problems with the cap that has stopped crude from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the government's top spill official said Sunday.
BP officials expressed hope earlier Sunday that the test of the cap that began Thursday could continue until a relief well can permanently seal the leak next month.
But Sunday night the U.S. government released a letter to BP from retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, that referred to seepage near the well and "undetermined anomalies at the well head."(end excerpt)
I think the damage to the sea floor is much more significant that we are being told and while many folks have a problem with Matt Simmons, I think he is much closer to hitting on the real problem than our officials are willing to admit... at this time.

Gingrich, Senators Voice Doubt Over Afghan War - Antiwar Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a longtime Afghan War enthusiast, added his voice to the growing number who are pesimistic about the endless conflict, predicting today that the war was “not going to end well.”
A number of top Senators grilled US Special Envoy Richard Holbrooke today over the administration’s “strategy” in the conflict, warning that there needed to be some clarity over what was supposed to be accomplished by the war and some details about how they will get there.(end excerpt)
Finally the light has gone on in someones head, though it has taken nine years. This war was a lost cause from the beginning because we had no realistic strategy to win or even a clear idea of what a victory would look like. Some felt that if we could root out the Taliban and other militants, we could turn afghanistan into a western style democracy, under US sponsorship (read control). This was unrealistic for many reasons, not least of which is the fact that Afghan's view their tribal and family loyalties to be of much greater importance that their national loyalties. It will take generations to break with that psychology, if indeed such an outcome is desirable and I am not so sure it is. Afghans have defeated every invader since Alexander the Great, The Brits, Russians and now the US. Now if you were an Afghan, why would even think about changing your ways, especially given the rampant corruption America has brought with her to Afghanistan. If that is Democracy, perhaps America would do better to take it back to the oil soaked beaches from which it came.
Press TV has conducted a phone interview with Mike Gravel, former US Senator, to learn his views on Holbrooke's remarks.
Press TV : Mr Holbrook says there is no military solution to the Afghanistan problem. How is it that after 9 years of being in Afghanistan, the US administration has reached such a result?
Mike Gravel : Well, how is it? It is because we have a ridiculous and terrible policy. Now you began to see why General McChrystal was not getting along with Holbrook or the ambassador [Karl Eikenberry, US ambassador to Afghanistan]. And of course, Petraeus, thought they are talking about nation building, they are waging a war and they are increasing the number of troops. And as they point out, this is Obama's war. He is the one who made the decision to continue. - Press TV
What has been the real result of our wars on ordinary Afghans?
'We're all in a lot more danger than we were'
But so far, the results in the eyes of Afghans have been scant, with many in the city and its surroundings saying they’ve been put in greater danger by the effort.
“The Taliban have been around us for years, but all they ever asked for was a little food or water when they were around,” Hekmatullah, a young farmer, says from his hospital bed. He received a leg wound when a joint US-Afghan patrol got into a firefight with the Taliban across the field he was tending in Zabul province. “We’re all in a lot more danger than we were.”
That’s a common sentiment across much of the south. Last week, a delegation of tribal elders trooped to the provincial council chaired by Ahmad Wali Karzai, President Hamid Karzai’s brother, to complain about a NATO-built police checkpoint in their neighborhood, which they said was putting their families in danger and disrupting their lives. - CSM
Our real plans never included a workable solution to Afghanistan's problems. It has always been in reality a two fold strategy. Those I stated before, prevent China, Russia, Iran and India from moving in and thus creating a solid land mass of nations who interests run contrary to America's and whose energy and security cooperation would pose a most significant security challenge to America, drawing more and more nations into an anti-US security bloc. The second reason was (is) to provide a stealth bailout to US defense contractors. This is why the corruption angle comes into play because as I said before (I am not just guessing here, so pay attention) some very seriously powerful criminal interests who have ties into all of these contractors and have their criminal hooks into this present administration have made a mint off this war and do not plan on letting it go without a fight. It is this criminal nexus that only a few in the blogosphere really know about or understand. The sad part is that because so many bloggers do not understand it, they just fall back on the 'New World Order' conspiracy theory because, the truth is, they really just don't understand the inner workings of what is happening so they guess, postulate and grasp at conspiratorial straws. This does not mean that there have not been many who haven't been working tirelessly for a new Global Order, or the phrase I think they will use in the not too distant future, 'New Times'. The fact is there have been. My point is a simple one, 80-90% of the things that people are blaming on the NWO track back to criminal interests who are more than willing to feed into these blogs and give them red-herrings to keep the conspiratorial fires burning, making fools of so many bloggers and so called ministers, who also just do not understand. Christ told us to be wise as serpents, not as dumb as rocks. Do take what I say here as a warning to be careful of folks who blame everything on the New World Order. Our world is vastly more complex that these theories or theorists allow for.
The simple fact is this. America as we know it is running out of time and money and we cannot afford this military adventure that is costing us hundreds of billions of dollars, is having a negative effect on US security (yes, I did say negative), and is simply 'unwinnable'. America is pushing the envelope right now on bankruptcy and do not let the Paul Krugmans of the world and other Corporate mouthpieces in the MSM tell you otherwise. We cannot simply keep on printing money to fund our trade and federal deficits. That is the road to hyperinflation and a destroyed dollar. This is the Road America is on, in a car driven by Obama, with the 'pedal to the metal'.
America's fiscal crisis is a real one and while pundits who are often paid for by banksters or this current administration get all kinds of air time on TV and Corporate Internet news, the reality is that in just the first six months of this year, we passed $1 trillion dollars in deficit spending, sending a glut of Treasuries onto the market for which the our own Fed is largely suspected of buying up the bulk of in secret. While this may seem rather arcane to most readers it simply means that we cannot sell the debt we need to run our government so we are in essence, via a convoluted process, buying our own debt. In short monetizing our debt which one way or another will lead to hyperinflation. This is how we are paying for our war in Afghanistan. We cannot afford it, cannot even borrow it, so we are printing it. That my dear readers is a disastorous policy. I can remember another nation who was already reeling from economic distress entering Afghanistan and a decade later, they fell apart. Perhaps you remember them? Ever heard of the Soviet Union? Their economy eventually collapsed, though the 'invincible ones' who formulated her foreign policy never thought such a thing could happen... to them. They too spent far more money on arms than they could really afford and became obsessed with government secrecy. Sound familiar? Today America's foreign policy establishment is filled with similar 'invincible ones' their psychology cannot allow them to even contemplate the obvious fiscal situation we are now in as being anything more than a 'bump in the road to empire'. They are pycologically incapable of factoring in the fiscally obvious into their geopolitical machinations. Unlike most mental disorders which are not contagious, this particular one has the ability to kill us all if it is not cured at the top. They are like a bus driver with loads of kids on board who has it in her mind that stopping at red lights is a bad idea, so they never stop at red lights. Sooner or later a disaster happens. Right now our deficits are flashing red and rather than stop or a least slow down, our leaders have 'punched it' and like a wild careening mad man, they have decided the rules of the road do not apply to them. Where are they going in such a hurry? Don't ask them... they haven't a clue but their psychopathic tendencies sure likes to see the cars crash and get gnarled up as the drivers bleed to death, the kids in crosswalks become roadkill as they go on their (geopolitical) vehicular rampage.
So our war in Afghanistan is an outgrowth of a much deeper problem that has its roots in a mental and spiritual disease that seems to always attach itself to Empires in decline. From Nero and Caligula, both mad as a hatter, to the later day emperors of America and their abundance of counsellors, advisors, contractors, lobbyists and other men and women who are cut from the same imperial mold. They are paid not to see the obvious for if anyone states it with clarity and with conviction, they will no longer be asked back to advise and lose their access to decision makers. This is how our insanity perpetuates itself. Not unlike the Roman emperors of old, any one who told Nero that his singing was atrocious would find his head on a pike decorating the imperial palace, or who told Caligula that he was not a 'god' was destined for crucifixion. The clinically insane must do away with those who do not share their particular delusions and there is no other way to describe a nation that runs these kinds of deficits, year in and year out and thinks it is not going to end in disaster... for us all. It is just plain crazy.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
(Isa 47:13)
Now you can perhaps better understand why you are going to hear all kinds of voices in the MSM and the blogosphere that says we can spend ourselves to oblivion and not suffer for it, or the War in Afghanistan can be won, if we just spend more money. They like their paychecks and access and know that in America, it pays to lie so people and pundits lie often.
I wish I could tell my readers I had hope that this nation will come out from under its imperial stupor and begin to deal seriously with our internal problems which are far more significant that a few Muslims reading the Koran in the desert. But I have none, what little hope I had for America was killed when God showed me what she was and what his opinion of her was.
I hate to say it but America is dying, her condition is terminal, the only doctor who could have saved her has determined to do nothing for her for her crimes and sins are as numberless as the stars. Besides, she has shown a remarkable contempt for God, his ways and his doings, the only cure that could possibly save America.
Now its time to pay.
Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
(Isa 47:11)

Long Term Jobless Fear Benefit Loss - USAT This is not good. But I will let you in on a little secret. The more long term unemployed Americans we have, the lower the unemployment rate goes. You heard right, the more long term unemployed we have, the lower the unemployment rate drops. In other words if you have not worked in 12 months, you no longer get counted in the 'official' unemployment rate. Here is a different table put out by the same folks who give us our 'official' unemployment figures, the BLS. But these numbers never get put into the MSM, they are too telling as to our real employment situation. In short, one is a politically acceptable number, the other is not. To put it bluntly, one shows you how many folks are really not working, the other does not. It is a statistical game played by politicians to tell you things are great while you read the foreclosure notice on your front door and fill out the 10th application at the local Walmart... with equally negative results.

Exports, Dope, Jobs And Obama's Economic Policy - WW The Germans can have a vibrant export driven economy in a Globalized world, why can't America?
Hamburg, the port city that sends 1 million tons of goods to foreign markets each week, has a reply to those who say Germany’s economy is too reliant on exports.
“Nonsense,” said Frank Horch, the city’s Chamber of Commerce president, in a June 24 interview in the offices of the 345-year-old trade group. “You cannot say Germany has to stop exports, it makes no sense. Germany was born out of this.”
Hamburg, Germany’s largest port and a crossroads in European trade since at least the 13th century, is the city with the most to lose from U.S.-led calls on Chancellor Angela Merkel to reduce the trade surplus in Europe’s biggest economy. - Bloomberg
Can Obama make good with a new initiative on Jobs? Can it move ahead with a real export driven economy like that of Germany's powerhouse, who even after years of crisis is still quite strong? The short answer is no, he can't, though there is no doubt a vain attempt to do so will be attempted, costing millions of more jobs and enriching the largest Corporations and banks in the process. Obama is sadly a 'sock puppet' of the corporate oligarchy who for years has worked very hard to bring about the very economic conditions we now have; good jobs leaving America, millions of low wage, no-benefit workers pushing Americans out of their jobs and the near destruction of the US Labor movement. So it should be no surprise that Obama is picking as his primary advisors to his new export council the same job thieves and Chinese slave holders who want to turn America into what many of them are doing to the Chinese workers, many of whom are imprisoned if they try and organize a Labor Union.
In a series of speeches and interviews this week, the Obama administration signaled a further shift to the right in its social and economic policy, abandoning even its minimal stimulus proposals under pressure from the financial-corporate elite.
On Wednesday, President Obama announced the formation of a panel, called the President’s Export Council, to coordinate the administration’s pledge to double US exports over the next five years. He touted the increase in exports as the key to reviving the economy and creating jobs.
He spoke before a White House gathering dominated by corporate executives, and packed the 19-member panel with the CEOs of some of the largest and most powerful US corporations, including Boeing, Ford, Xerox, UPS, ADM, Verizon and Walt Disney.
On Thursday, he spoke at a small Kansas City electric truck factory to promote his economic policy.
Obama made not a single reference in either speech to the failure of Congress to extend emergency jobless benefits, depriving millions of long-term unemployed workers of any income. Nor did he note Congress’ failure to approve additional federal Medicaid aid to the states, which will result in hundreds of thousands of new public employee and teacher layoffs and further cuts in education and other essential services. - Axis of Logic
So once again, Obama is going to the perpetrators of the crime to 'solve it' in the criminals interest. This has been his pattern. Go back and look who 'solved' the financial crisis, who walked off with trillions in your money and now keep their penthouses, Lamborghini's and Yacht's... all on your dime and with the full support of Obama.
When these corporate moguls finish running circles around the great pretender, another 20 million jobs will go out the back door and the only thing that will be exported are impoverished expats, looking for work in an Indian sweat shop, or if one is young and good looking enough, 'turning a trick' on the streets of Budapest.
But this begs the question: Why can Gerrmany still have a strong export market while the US cannot in our Globalized world? Why is it that even while both cling to globalization one is succeeding and the other is failing? I will tell you but I will try not to be long winded.
I will say it in one word, NAFTA. Now the first thing that the high priests of Globalization will say is that the Germany has the EU and that has not hindered them. They are correct, up to a point and only up until the latest rounds of economic crisis hit the EU. Now Germany must 'pony up' billions of her hard earned export driven savings to bail out failed economies. I do not think this particular trend is over by a long shot, but we will have to see.
No, the point here is one that many economists miss. That is simply this, while the EU was indeed becoming a free trade zone, its nations were (at the time of its formation) for the most part, well developed, economically vibrant and had a common history and culture going back to the time of the Romans. Trade and migration were controlled and Crime and illegal immigration is looked upon sternly by EU authorities. Workers in Germany's plants got paid a good wage because the products they made commanded high prices for their quality. There were no teeming millions who were making less that a euro a day, waiting to crash their borders and take jobs away from ordinary Germans, at least not en-masse. They have maintained a high standard of living despite the influx of labor from the East and the South because they took them in at a rate that could realistically be absorbed without seriously upsetting social sensitivities and economic realities. The Germans were and are smart. They are able to see past the next election and they were not going to kill their golden goose of exports on the alter of Globalization. America is more than willing to do so and upset its own social order and political order at the same time if narrow political interests think they it will win them political points in the idiot arena of US politics. What do I mean?
Recently our Security officials briefed our President on the extreme (this is a carefully chosen word) situation south of our border. What they described goes far beyond the things you are hearing on the internet. We are way past body's swinging from bridges and heads in duffel bags. I do mean way past it. These Narco Traffickers, I have to tell you are extremely well organized. These are men in Armani suits, with masters and doctorate degrees. They have high powered lawyers and lobbyists as well as your not so ordinary highly paid Special operations/Terrorists/Black Ops kind of guys working for them... think mercenaries. You have them all working together in some of the most finely tuned, well financed organizations the world has ever seen. They also know how to make friends with nations who have common interests with theirs. They have already done so and reaped so much intelligence on its primary target that we as a nation, frankly do not stand a chance against them, especially with this President.
You see the difference is a simple one. Germany always had a strong sense of itself in a nationalistic sense, even with the advent of the EU. Unlike America, Europeans know what war is. Now some will say Americans do too. To which I say simply and clearly. No we don't. We have not had a major war on our soil (this is the key) since the Civil War. Sure we read about them all day long in the papers or hear about them on TV, but even there we get NO pictures, NO video, NO interviews with victims. All reporting of it is all totally controlled and censored by our DOD. Until Obama took office, one could not even take pictures of US coffins heading back home for burial, so pervasive was (and is) that control. Thus, the realities of war are known only to a handful of Americans who have spent time on a real battlefield. They often come back so different than when they went away, that they have a hard time relating to the typical American whose understanding of the world is no further developed than a 7 year old's who has lived on such a field of battle. Those Americans who are given over to the pleasures of America are the hardest to reach with the harsh realities of our world. They just cannot see past their 'throbbing genetils', their coke habit or their NFL. They really think all of their pleasures are going to last forever. Like the Romans of old, they did not understand that those barbarians at the gate plan on sacking the city and taking away slaves. Such a concept was beyond the Roman comprehension as they lifted the chalice of wine to their lips at the imperial orgy. They did not know that the soldiers who were once supposed to be keeping watch just got paid off to look the other way when the hordes come for plunder.
So while Germany was able to avoid the pitfalls of the past, it is America's own imperial arrogance that makes clear thinking on these matters utterly impossible. Our population, largely ignorant and given over to vain pleasures and pastimes don't and won't understand the nature of the threat, lest the political party that glofifies the 'throbbing genetils' loses power. Or on the other side of the coin, the party that glorifies 'free markets' and unlimited profits with no taxes for the rich, gets out of power. So they knee jerk away from sound thinking to the political clap-trap of left/right-wingnut, 'gimme-my-MTV' politics.
Now that I have said what seems to be unrelated to the subject at hand, let me tell you exactly how this related to exports. You see, these criminal gangs are using NAFTA right now to infiltrate American businesses and corporations. They are using NAFTA to bring in their products to the US. They are using NAFTA to bring in Weapons in the the US (despite what you hear in the media, this is a two way, not a one way street). NAFTA which was to support free trade is doing just that, the free trade of Cocaine, Meth, Pot, Heroin and weapons to sleeper cell agents in the US. They are gaining the surrupticious control of US businesses and corporations. This is one thing that those in the blogoshere have missed and missed badly. They are focusing in on the 'blood and guts' angle of this problem and while it is very bad, that is not going to be your real problem. It is when these cartels wield considerable political and economic influence inside America. They are already well on their way to doing just that. I know it, certain folks in the Treasury, Justice, CIA and DEA know it. The problem is you cannot get the Obama administration or the NSC (which today is little more than folks who run political interference for DNC campaign contributors) to see it. They cannot see it as they are being paid not to see it and make darn sure no one else does either. Thankfully, the analysts and foot soldiers can finally see it, though it has taken them far too long to finally put some of the pieces together.
So the forces of globalization that worked in favor for a nation like Germany is working against a nation like the US. Why? Because our so called strength was really our weakness. What am I referring to. Our dollar as the reserve currency of the world status. You see, America never had a real need to export anything until the recent crisis destroyed millions of jobs. Foreign governments always ponied up hundreds of billions of dollars to fund our spending gaps. We did not need to rely on a shrinking tax base (and those jobs that those taxes come from) to fund our ever expanding government or our expensive military endeavors or even our social safety nets. We just passed around the hat and told our creditors we would pay them back later. It is for this reason that America never really needed to find a way to create meaningful jobs that created goods that could be exported. It was too difficult politically and powerful interests in the corporate world were very much in favor of the current trends in wage destruction, benefit reduction and jobs (rather than goods) exports. In short, creating meaningful jobs in the globalized economy was politically impossible in the American political system. It is no less impossible now than nearly 20 years ago when Ross Perot warned us of that giant 'sucking sound', of jobs heading south to Mexico. Thus, those corporate Moguls who are now advising Obama on exports and jobs are not there for workers... those millions who have lost jobs they will never see again. They are there to codify what they have been working on since the the days that the NAFTA treaty was being negotiated... in secret: The creation of low wage jobs to increase profit margins and the further the decimation of the American Labor movement.
This is the reality and why Obama's exports council is nothing more than a headline grabbing election year pacifier that is laced with economic cyanide for working Americans and their child-like minds. Those politically naive enough to believe that Obama is working for the people will be fooled by the headlines that tell them Obama is doing one thing, while he works night and day to deliver the opposite.
The first thing that needs to be done is something Obama promised on the Campaign trail (remember all of those promises that turned out to be lies?), and now refuses to even contemplate. Renegotiate or repudiate NAFTA. What was once Mexico does not exist any longer and only someone out of touch with reality, A President controlled by forces dedicated to the destruction of both his own Presidency and our nation, or someone in the pay of the Narco-cartels would be unable to see it. In Obama's case, I cannot lie to you, I cannot say for certain which category applies in this instance.
One thing is absolutely certain, when America puts the Democrats or Republicans back in office, millions of more jobs will go away and those that will be 'created' will be part-time, minimum wage jobs that cannot even pay rent, let alone put food on the table as well. That is the Obama economy we have seen so far and the one that will be perpetuated and codified by the two party abomination in Washington. Let's just call it...
The Food Stamp Economy.

Microsoft Opens Up Windows 7 To 'KGB' In exchange for their spies, Moscow now has an even better way to kill and imprison bloggers who expose its endemic corruption. Those super secret triggers and trap doors in Microsofts OS are now available to the Russians. "A senior security source with links to the UK government told ZDNet UK on Wednesday that the 2002 deal was part of Microsoft's Government Security Program. Nato also signed up, said the source. Having a number of different governments with access to Microsoft code meant it was possible that a government could find holes in the code and use it to exploit another nation-state's systems, said the source" - ZDNet. Got XP or older version of Linux, get it... keep it. MS's 'Government Security' program is how China is able to round up its bloggers. It keeps the government secure from pesky things like 'democracy' and 'accountability'. More here. Where do you think that source code is going to wind up? Big hint..

What Are The Elite Planning They Do Not Want Us To Know About? This is a group of prophecies put together for your review. I usually do not post prophecies like this in the news section, but this lines up so much with visions I had back in the mid 1990's, that I cannot help but post it. Because while I see so many evils coming our way if God delays the prophetic certainty of sudden destruction for Babylon, sudden destruction is exactly how she dies: sudden, devastating and without any remedy forever. This frankly could happen any day, but not without God warning his people first. Though I think one more major thing must happen first here in America, severe persecution of God's prophets (Rev 18:24). Read and meditate with discernment and prayer. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Obama/BP Criminalizes Journalism - Natural News As CNN is now reporting, the U.S. government has issued a new rule that would make it a felony crime for any journalist, reporter, blogger or photographer to approach any oil cleanup operation, equipment or vessel in the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone caught is subject to arrest, a $40,000 fine and prosecution for a federal felony crime.
CNN reporter Anderson Cooper says, "A new law passed today, and back by the force of law and the threat of fines and felony charges, ... will prevent reporters and photographers from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked wildlife just about any place we need to be. By now you're probably familiar with cleanup crews stiff-arming the media, private security blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not even saying who they're working for because they're afraid of losing their jobs."(end excerpt)
What can I say? I told you so? The Raw Story also has a report about this. Salon also has a good report.
...And stop making excuses for a man who promised the most open Administration in US history who now makes writing a news story about a disaster a criminal act.Nothing but the deepest contempt for American law and traditions could cause a man to do what his administration is allowing to happen, either by neglect or deliberate action.

The Incredible Collapsing Economy - Various
Even by the standards of this deficit-ridden state, Illinois’s comptroller, Daniel W. Hynes, faces an ugly balance sheet. Precisely how ugly becomes clear when he beckons you into his office to examine his daily briefing memo.
He picks the papers off his desk and points to a figure in red: $5.01 billion.
“This is what the state owes right now to schools, rehabilitation centers, child care, the state university — and it’s getting worse every single day,” he says in his downtown office.
Mr. Hynes shakes his head. “This is not some esoteric budget issue; we are not paying bills for absolutely essential services,” he says. “That is obscene.” - NYT

-State Workers in California are very worried over their salary being reduced to the federal minimum wage pay grade.
As reported on Fox News, on Friday July 2, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration, won an appellate court ruling allowing them to cut state workers wages to the minimum amount of $7.25 per hour.
More than 200,000 workers will be affected by this drastic measure. Californians are already reeling from that states fiscal woes. However, a brief respite might be in order for workers because the State comptroller's office said their computers were not programmed to make the cuts. Upgrades will take another 2 years to complete. - All Voices

The recently passed unemployment extension by the House is currently on hold until the Senate returns from their recess on July 12th, leaving many unemployed Americans scared of what will happen next.
A reader from Pennsylvania, unable to persuade Chase and Sears to hold off on collecting payment for one month, wrote, “I am so very scared. I am a single mom here with 2 college students…”

A reader from Missouri who is in favor of an unemployment extension wrote, “I am scared. I was unemployed from 8/15/09 to 3/1/2010 and here I go again, afraid how I am going to make it without an income or unemployment if it turns out that I can’t get it.”
An employed reader from Florida, who is in favor of an unemployment extension, wrote, “People who have no short term hope are scared of their lives falling apart like dominos. Senators who oppose the bill should walk a mile in an unemployed persons’ shoes.”
Upset that the Senate left for recess before voting on the unemployment benefits measure, wrote, “I am so scared that my teen-age son and I will be homeless within months…what should I do?”
US Chronicle
The House may not have had the time to help out unemployed Americans, but they sure had time to spend billions more for wars... and you thought the GOP was bad!
The US House of Representatives on Thursday approved funds to pay for the Afghan troop surge amid criticism of the unpopular war by both Democrat and Republican lawmakers.
The House-approved bill includes nearly $4 billion in economic aid to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The war funds are in addition to the $130 billion Congress has already approved for Afghanistan and Iraq this year.
The House’s Democratic leaders, who had procrastinated for weeks over the bill, did not act in time to get the $33 billion to the troops by July 4 as the Pentagon had requested. - Daily Times
How bad is this unemployment crisis really?
The situation means many long-term unemployed workers, like Erich Simo of Canton, are on the verge of losing their safety net. The 27-year-old has been looking for a job since he was laid off in October 2008 at a company that did work for AT&T. But even positions at fast-food restaurants and grocery stores aren't available....
...Simo is one of about 400,000 out-of-work Michiganders who depend on this cash aid. Until recently, these benefits lasted up to 99 weeks. Now, they end after 26 weeks. - Detroit Free Press
Nebraska: Food Stamp Usage On The Rise:
Amanda and her husband Justin are out of work, so the federal food stamp program is the only way they can feed their family of five.
McCormack is part of a growing number of Nebraskans who buy at least part of their groceries with a SNAP card.
One in every nine Nebraskans used the program in June.
That's almost 27,000 more than were using SNAP a year ago, and about 44,000 more than two years ago.
That growth over the past two years is one indicator of the recession. - Journal Star
Get Ready For Runaway Inflation Says Schiff. I am not so sure that some of that inflation may not be put back in the criminal enterprises of Wall Street, while literally tens of millions more Americans wait in bread lines.
Well, you can believe what you want to about our dollar our economy and the state of our nation but you may want to think about what other nations are saying and doing about it. The UN issued a report last week that called for an end to the US dollar as the reserve currency of the world.
Fifth, a new global reserve system could be created, one that no longer relies
on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency. The dollar has proved not
to be a stable store of value, which is a requisite for a stable reserve currency. Nonetheless,
motivated in part by needs for self-insurance against volatility in commodity markets
and capital flows, many developing countries accumulated vast amounts of such reserves
during the 2000s. Hence, a new system needs to be developed. That system should allow
for better pooling of reserves at the regional and international levels; it must not be based
on a single currency or even multiple national currencies but, instead, should permit the
emission of international liquidity (such as SDRs) to create a more stable global financial
system. Such emissions of international liquidity could also underpin the financing of
investment in long-term sustainable development, as suggested above. - UN World Economic And Social Survey 2010 ( | | | | | | | | | |
