Dinorsaurs were wiped out by a cosmic collision.They didn't know about those things. Today man is wiping itself off the planet by killing the planet in a personal way. It's kind of like sawing off a limb you are standing on some 300 feet off the ground. But the eager sawyer is on the wrong side of the cut. What's more stupid is that the busy man with the blade knows what will happen does it anyway because there's profit for a short period in the exercise. The tree limb can be sold for profit! Dinosaurs were innocent victims of the colliding asteroid. Man is guilty of killing flora and fauna in the common areas. His own death will be welcome by many.
Which brings me to Liu Han. He's the 46 year gap-toothed ,pug-faced greedy Chinaman who runs Sichuan Hanlong Group . That's a smelly China- based natural resource extraction firm .Recent accounts of his conspicuous consumption style include dining on endangered species.For example, he would deprive a shark of its fin so he could stuff a squab with it. Meanwhile the shark either bleeds to death or can't navigate properly .The shark has died before Liu Han can flush the toilet filled with decomposed shark fin. He wears mink coats that are from minks trapped in the wild. He refuses farmed mink. He also drives a Ferrari. Everyone knows that the Chinese can see well. But he drives a Ferrari around China's busy and crowded urban area.. I wonder if he has a special license? Maybe he has got a special drivers permit that allows him to run over and and maybe kill up to five random Chinese a day with no questions asked.
Fatso Liu Han is now doing business in Eureka, Nevada. No doubt he got permission to blow the top off of Mount Hope in search of molybdenum from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Jobs for locals and an envelope for dear Harry. Liu Han along with many others like him around the world are a clear and present danger to all and that includes themselves.The time for legal remedies may be over.

Jesus Was Jewish
Jesus was born a Jew. He had a bar mitzvah which made him a "son of divine law". That along with his Jewish mothers brow beating about achieving success at any cost were all the ingredients for him to make his way in the world. And the rest is history. He then went on to claim to be the son of god. Could it have been any other way? I mean a Jew claiming to be the son of god? I remember the hippies at the University of California in Berkeley. Many of the more righteous and also the more smelly were also Jewish. They claimed to know the truth of things and only through their guidance people would be freed from what bothers them. They were wrong also.
Currency Wars Lead To Trade Wars Lead To World Wide Depression
Today the incoming Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe followed through on his campaign promise to reflate the Japanese economy. He directed the Bank Of Japan to reach 2% inflation in the countries stagnant economy. Two percent does't sound very high? Fact is Japans inflation doesn't exist. Fact is the latest reading is -.4% So from there to 2% probably won't happen But it got him and his party elected and that's what he wanted.. During his campaign he pointed out that the U.S. and the European Union's printing of money was the main problem for Japan's economic woes. The debased currencies of dollar and Euro were edging out Japan in the market place. Since most every major country in the world have similar products, it may come to just cost of goods and services as the deal maker or breaker.And that means relative currency valuations win the business. Trade has become a zero sum proposition There is just so many people and just so much discretionary income. ERGO .Gentlemen, start your printing presses.
And if cheap money doesn't do the trick? Then the next move by governments will be trade protection laws. That will lead to a contraction in global business and will force layoffs around the planet. Then the odds favor a depression and maybe a war being declared by the major economic powers to really generate business and instill brand loyality and to direct irate voter attention to foreigners and away from the local centarl governments.

Who Is Buying Stocks? Why Is The Market So High?
Who's buying stocks? Why is market so high? Maybe it has something to do with the increase of high frequency trading.Official SEC tallies of exchange volumes has high frequency trading making up 70% of daily volume.This is by definition not investment funds. The HFT computers parse pennies millions of times to front run other computers doing HFT front running etc ad naseum. But there is another player. It's is the human day trader. He or she add another layer of high speed trading done the old fashion way. I.E. They do it by hand. In the news today, the SEC fined Peter Beck and his associate Charles Kim $250,000 each for failure to supervise their 5000 traders that work at Swift Trade which is based in Toronto. The fine was failure to stop their stable of traders who range from Romania to New York from entering into conspiracies to "layer trades". Simply "layering" is an euphemism for "front running" . They collude to manipulate stocks . Swift Trade isn't the only day trading firm.So the 5000 day trders at Swift are multiplied by many more counterparts around the globe. The volume that all of them generate must make up a significant prtion of the 30% that computers don't do on a daily basis.
Could the extended levels of the Dow Jones and the S&P be the outcome of manipulation by here today gone tomorrow day traders?

S&P Earnings? What Is Real ?
Most all market pundits say the S & P is fairly valued to somewhat cheap. Aside from the fact that these same pundits make their living from recommending shares for purchase, do they know what the words "fair valued" and "somewhat cheap" really mean when the earnings of S& P companies are put in todays unreal context?
I have one question for this collective group. What are the earnings of S & P companies if the Fed wasn't buying one trillion of treasuries or mortgage backed securities per year along with the one trillion that congress spends per year that it doesn't have?

Guns or Violent Videos: Which Is The More To Blame?
Newtown, Connecticut and Aurora, Colorado massacres both featured assailants dressed in military garb using automatic weapons that were easily obtained. Easily obtained guns were obviously.a sine qua non component of the tragedies. But why were both killers in military uniforms? That didn't help them kill. Guns by themselves are blameless. Blame is on the user. It's a fact that mass murders can be carried out by other means. E.G. explosives, fires, toxic gasses, mass killings caused by sabotaged vessels etc. The military clothes suggest a role playing. Could the easily available violent video game which features uniformed combatants be the true source of violent behavior in our society? Parents routinely give children hand held devices with brutal videos as a cheap baby sitting surrogate. It turns out this alternative may not be so cheap after all..

U.S Army: Why We Lose
Why hasn't America won a war since 1945? There are many reasons. Probably the most important reason is that subsequent to World War II, the wars were chosen. Consequently the mission was dubious. Ergo the will to win by the participating "boots on the ground" was not as strong. Why lose limbs or life for this preening politicians and blood thirsty generals war? There is an example that serves as a metaphor . The average infantryman in WW II had a rifle and 30 pounds of gear when he was in combat. It cost about $200.00 in total . Today our infantrymen in Afghanistan carry a rifle and 110 pounds of gear! Forget mobility. Forget running. Forget trotting. AND WE WEAR A UNIFORM. But our adversaries in Afghanistan DO NOT WEAR A UNIFORM. And in some cases have dinner at home . Then they grab their rifle. Kiss the mrs. Put on civilian clothes and walk out the door . The Afghans know who the target is. We don't know until an explosion or a shot is fired. And that's too late. Why has this obvious disadvantage to the local Taliban and Afghans been allowed to continue ?
Here's a fact that may point to the answer. The cost of the full outfitting of one U.S. soldier is $ 24,000.00.
Do you think we have wars to make the military-industrial happy and wealthy? I believe we do,

Source of Chaos? :Technology & Fiat Money !
Ever wonder why life is getting more and more challenging? Maybe it's because new challenges come faster and are more complex then heretofore. Why is that? Well, technology has afforded more options of experimentation and implimentation. Many things are done because they can be done not because they should be done. And fiat money has made those options affordable. Any negative or unexpected results from these brave new world experiments is addressed by more fiat money and more evolutionary technology and so forth and so on....
Technology that is squared by fiat money equals chaos. Or , Technology multiplied by fiat money equals constant change which defines chaos. Simplify. Use less tools less and barter.
USE A TOOL ,LOSE YOUR PLACE.

Reality TV, Killer Karaoke, Vampire and Zombie Facination ,etc: Any Criticism By Teachers Or Politicians?
Where are the moral leaders? Any civic leaders who would speak to what's desirable for the general populations healthy mental and social customs. Where are they? You think, how retro? But enough is enough. I read today of a TV reality show called "Killer Karaoke" .It is the latest TV reality show in an ever spiraling downward "entertainment" offering. It is offered by TruTV. The master of ceremonies is one Steve-O .Briefly this particular segment reported a big titty preachers daughter ( there was a photo ) in a transparent tank of water singing "Take on Me". But wait , there's more. She's sharing the tank with baby alligators and snakes who are wondering what they deserved to get themselves in this place.Yuck. Another segment featured another "singer" getting squished and smeared with sweat by a couple of obese men in sumo-style underpants.Yuck. Yuck.
Does any politician want to go on record about what he/she thinks about this kind of TV? Does the National Education Association want to make a statement that its teachers warn students about the hazards of trash TV ? Or is that too elitist? Do the pols and teachers want to think about it a little longer? Do they want to take a poll? Will their negative statement offend anyone ?
Well I say, the participants , the MC and the audience both in the studio and at home should have their breeding ability revoked surgically or chemically. Next comes the pols and teachers who should be similarly impaired if they don't speak up and be counted as one who objects..

I Saw Willie Brown Yesterday
I had an appointment in downtown San Francisco yesterday. Driving on Bush St I spotted former Mayor Willie Brown coming out of his favorite restaurant Le Central according to fawning reporters at the San Francisco Chronicle. Some passerby was clutching Willie's hand trying to ingratiate himself to the politico. For those of you who don't know of Willie Brown. you will know the type. He's the kind of politician that runs on race issues. He never stops selling guilt. In the old days he would have been hung on general principles of disturbing the peace. But in todays PC world he is feted by low self esteemed whites and carpetbagger attorneys of all colors.Willie was customarily stylishly outfitted. Probably a $500. 00 fedora and a $ 2000. 00 suit. His face was remarkably smooth and blemish free. I'll bet he treated his skin with a theatrical powder that dulls the shine of black skin. But Willie is still a monkey .And his pudenda lips rival an orangutans ass. He knows it better than anyone. Why else would he try to dress up like Gary Cooper.
The window in my car was partially down. I instinctively flipped him the bird and called out, " Hey Willie. Go fuck yourself." I think he heard me. I hope so.

Schlemiel Netanyahu : The Last Prime Minister Of Israel ?
Why won't the 1,500,000 collectively punished Gazans just take Israel's brutality? Why must they fight back? Can't they see that Israel thinks it OK to assassinate and kill at will and they should just patiently bury the body parts and wash away the blood? How come they are insulted when Israel adds insult to injury by allowing new settlements on stolen,occupied Palestinian lands?
Hopefully Netanyahu will be the last Prime Minister of the Zionists scum that run Israel.

U.S. Drone Policy Invites More 9/11 Events
America's increasing use of drones around the world to kill suspected "enemies" is causing blowback. The "blue on green " killings in Afghanistan is tit for tat. Afghanis who have died from drone strike collateral damage left behind relatives who plot revenge. Drone killings in Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan and other countries that we don't yet know will strike at U.S. targets in the future. The cold blooded killers at the Pentagon think they have a deus ex machina. But in time that creation will morph into an avenging gallows and hang people in the U.S. in another 9/11 type event.

Foie Gras Nation: Consume Or Die
Fact. American economy is based on consumption. Fact. Seventy percent of our economy is dedicated to providing food and services to a consuming class of all gradations and income levels. Fact. If we don't consume our economy will fail. In our current sputtering economic times and high unemployment, the Federal Reserve has resorted to buying up government debt so new debt can be issued and so consumption can be guaranteed. These monetary policies herd U.S. citizens to consume because interest rates are almost non existant so there is no money in saving and prudence.. Much like geese are force fed to fatten their liver to produce foie gras. That's reality. That's the plan. But a collateral result produces an obese nation. Fact. Almost 70% ( notice the number?) of consumers are overweight, fat or obese. If 70% of economy is consumer based, then only 30% actually produce. The producers are necessarily not fat in their operating procedures.. It would be bad for their business model. The people we fight around the world are not fat. ever see a fat member of al Qaeda or Taliban? Who is more likely to win the wars? Who is more likely to win a healthy peace ?

New York Needs Tomb For Unknown Homeless
Why are those subway tunnels flooded? Could it be dead homeless people are clogging the drains? What a loss. We never knew them.But maybe in death they can live in our hearts and minds.New York City needs a memorial to these fallen victims. The highest per capita income city in in the world couldn't save these feral humans. No life jackets. No inflatable rafts.No cork soled shoes. Not so much as a " How are we going to help the homeless?" The washed up bodies cleaner than ever before are stark reminders how they finally cleaned up their act while others in Gotham scurried without a thought for the other guy. Where was Bloomjew? No doubt he was hermetically sealed at a safe house figuring how he could get another term out of this disaster. How soon he forgets.Once the homeless were a campaign plank. He championed their lot in life. Now they are gone. And Mike didn't know their names. In death the homeless have become honored. In life they were just so much mobile garbage.

Hurricane Sandy: Guess Who's Going To Work?
With Hurricane Sandy fast approaching , very few people were going to work in downtown Manhattan today. The few that were identified were personal injury attorneys. They were preparing class action suits. The plaintiffs and their pleas for compensation were left blank until the phones at the law offices actually rang with actual clients. There was one exception. And that sure client was to be fat ass black women in motorized wheelchairs. They would complain about their preferred method of travel was not an amphibian.
QE 4? Next Quantitative Easing Might Be Forgiveness Of Debt
What more can the Federal Reserve do ? Right now after 3 and counting quantitative easing, the fed holds app $1.7 trillions of U.S government debt.. It created the money to buy the paper. That's about 10% of the total outstanding debt. How about the fed decides to erase the fiat money by not taking the payoffs of the maturing notes? The federal government erases debt and its like the whole exercise never happened. Sound too good to be true? It is. But it still might happen. The problem is that wont be the last time you see that trick. The downside would be a runaway congress without fiscal discipline until capital markets call a halt to the irresponsible transactions.

Human Downsizing:Because Of Technology
Use a tool lose your place. From primitives who tinkered tools to todays smart phones., humans have relentlessly distanced themselves from the earth they walk. Corporations downsize payrolls because of software- piloted machines. Workers somewhat compensate by downsizing their life. They diminish expectations and engage an iPhone. There on the small screen is a virtual life that is free. Free from gravity and obligation. Virtually any voyage can be had. Its an experience that never fulfills. There are no smells. There is no sun. There is no rain.There is no breeze.

Breaking News: Bernanke At Federal Reserve Stays The Course
Google plunged 8% yesterday on a dramatic earnings miss. Ad revenue was lackluster while expenses shot higher.Yesterday Microsoft reported dramatically slowing sales of its PC software mainly the result of the migration to tablet and smart phones.Today McDonald's sold off 5% on slowing sales because of individuals tight budgets. Also today preexisting home sales took an unexpected dip due lack of job growth. At the moment the Dow Jones Industrials are off by 135 points.
But not to worry. Federal Reserve Chairman repeated himself, " I will print money till Google gets more clicks, till McDonalds sells more burgers, till the return to the PC happens and until people buy houses again.."
Isn't it amazing what the power to create money does to a persons common sense? If he ever had common sense?

Obama Not Comfortable With Direct Criticism
Poor President Obama. Mitt Romney compared him to his 5 children who regularly distort facts to influence daddy's mind. Obama isn't comfortable with such direct non-politically correct abuse from a white man. The liberal main stream media never challenges Barry like that..They all know that he's just a hapless darkie who climbed on the civil rights preferred, affirmative action set aside for blacks of little worth who can be propelled into unbelievable success with enough guilt driven propulsion and enough carpetbagger hyena attorneys behind them.

Romney Is Another Bush: Calls For Another " [ Project For The New ] American Century":
Today Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal. it was titled " A New Course for the Middle East". Well that's not what he described. He starts out in the first paragraph by ticking off the various calamities that America is faced with in that region. Romney never notes that most are self inflicted calamities. How about invading Iraq? He mentions our loss of prestige and our loss of life. He doesn't mention the cost in money. Maybe he thinks spending by the military-industrial complex is good for business. He also mentions Israel. He is seemingly devastated by the way Obama has demoted Israel's security in favor of the region as a whole. He then goes on to mention Israel a total of EIGHT times. He mentions Israel's Prime Minster Netanyahu. He mentions Iran once. he mentions Egypt once.
He doesn't mention how he is going to shape U.S. foreign policy in the mid east to the new realities in the region. Instead he would as president basically double-down on past neocon policies with a new roll out of the Project For The New American Century. And I quote, " Our challenges are different now, but if the 21st century is to be another American Century, we need leaders who understand that keeping the peace requires American strength in all its dimensions."
We don't need another jingoistic shopkeeper in the White house. Harry Truman and George W. Bush were two too many. The former gave us Israel and the latter continued to defend the mistake.
