October 19th Black This Out

[jmervyn]

that's kinda harsh...

Then again, so is the glare from the lights of the onrushing train.

For the skeptics, while Ron Paul may be just another politician who has found a niche constituency, the media blackout is documented. Ever wonder why?

Yes. Ron Paul. Hope. Not only for the U.S, but for the world as well.

Nigel Farage is one of my favorite in Europe.

Sorry, Vd, not so much. Don't buy into his hype, Texan or otherwise.

After Herman Cain began making a big splash with his 9-9-9 plan, boldness seemed to be the recipe for this cycle’s presidential election. Ron Paul delivered his own bold plan this week to reform the federal budget and “Restore America,” as Paul titled his new plan. In my column for The Fiscal Times, I take a look at Paul’s blueprint and find some provocative and intriguing concepts — but very little explanation, and even less common sense.

Well if you don't do the cuts now, later you will be in a much bigger hole. If you follow the record of his standings, smaller government and lower budgets was always his policy.

But, whatever they do, it won't work. It's design to fail. Usury Lords want you all in the mud. Know that growth and higher standard of living for common people is what they despise.

Ron is there to help you to wake up, unfortunately that's not in the nature of most people. They like to be fooled.

Quite so. The problem was that he "blows hot & cold" too much; he'll embrace trends without really considering them. Which is what the article alludes to.

I don't really think so; you're too paranoid (though with a background such as yours that's hardly surprising). I think this is a better model - your "Usury Lords" don't really bother to think about the proles, when they can use floating currency to enrich themselves with seemingly few repercussions. There's a nice analysis of that somewhere, with reference to getting off the gold standard. It doesn't mean they <want> you poor, and in fact, you actually gain. But <they> gain magnitudes greater, and faster, and the resulting economic cycles capsize the whole. Meanwhile, they've moved on to other pastures to repeat the cycle. Yes, George Soros exemplifies their behavior.

They don't like to be fooled; their instinctual preference is for stability. People hate change with bitter, caustic reactions.

Really, the reason people don't take you seriously is partially due to that. I get much the same bile directed at me for mocking socialist-loving rubes who think the "Occupy Wall Street" punks are legitimate. Furthermore, the problem is that the cycle of such suspicion is self-perpetuating: I rec'd a video of one Dr. Don Colbert, a religious health advocate paralleling "Dr. Oz", who my wife immediately figured was a fraud. He's not, exactly, nor a true quack; instead he tells people what they want to hear, and when challenged, those people rise against criticism of him asserting that those who question are working on behalf of the "enemy". Same as Global Warming, same as a bunch of other issues. The paranoid style of politics.

It's scary when I see studies that back vdzele up


Physics & Math

An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.

[vdzele]

Almost half of those banks holds one family. All of them is owned by less then 20. So essentially its a small club and you think when leaving one you will change an owner. Its one bank.

Still too simplistic. They're not a closed group; I'm sure that AlGore, Ofrah, Soros, BillG, and various others have limited membership. But the point still holds, and unpleasantly confirms the "rich get richer" claim. The methodology also substantiates something I've been poo-poohed for saying before - that M$FT has their fist around 20% of the Dow Jones' gonads.

There's nothing wrong with the rich getting richer; a rising tide lifts all boats. The problem is when their profit cycles wind up accelerating at the expense of everyone else, which is the fault of governments rather than individuals. If they were the merchant princes of yore, they could be wiped out by a bad storm or poor cotton crop - now they're "too big to fail" and our meager life savings are their playing field.

[vdzele]

I see you don't get it. It's not about money, money means nothing to them. Too big too fail scenario is to extract money from ordinary people so they go deeper down. Down to the ground is what they want.

Bad storm or poor cotton crop will never destroy them because that is not their source of power, its the printing press. You will see in the near future that they will destroy many of their banks, and you will think that they are badly hurt. But they are not, they are shape-shifters. They will rename, repackage, close many and open new after they finish their plan.

That is what they do for many centuries. As long they have their printing presses we will always be their slaves, no matter in which system we live in. You always have to return his funny money because its created when you borrowed it from his bank.

Meaning, if we today return all of are debts at once, their will be no money in existence. Money is leash for people.

Did you read his plan, or just this website?
