"The Blackfeather Convergence"

Another $700 Billion About To Be Stolen

Paulson, one of the Bush team that frantically begged for the $700 Billion Bailout now says he isn't really going to use the money where they said they would. How blatant can one show his disrespect for his country.

 

Paulson, Treasury Secretary, was the one that "overlooked" the oil speculation that drove the prices to $5.00 a gallon. It was his job to make sure it did not happen. Now another $700 billion? Count about $200 billion of that as designated to be unaccounted for soon. Count about $100 billion to be spent just celebrating the $700 billion.

 

This is the ultimate Golden Parachute. They all know the reason they can't compete is because they can't compete. The money will be stashed somewhere in a Swiss Bank tied to Gramm. Invest in advance tickets to Geneva, Bern and Zurich.

 

The whole of point of capitalism is to get all the money. The $700 billion going to the corporate/government structure is much like taking the bully in a fourth grade class and throwing him into a cage with Mike Tyson and Michael Jackson and no one is wearing pants.

As Long as the Rich Survive!

What a lot of people forget is that at one time the wealth in America was spread around, we were a nation of the middle class. By around the 1970s it was estimated that 20% of the people controlled 80% of the wealth, it is now between 2% and 5% of the people control 80+% of the wealth and the trend is growing.

Nothing on earth shows that Capitalism is a success more than that. Imagine, 95% of the US Population can ddisappear along with its wealth and it will have 1/5th the effect that missing those 2%-5% will have. Even if the 95% of us die out America will do just fine.

Militias were thought of twenty years ago as racist right wing Christians. They have got a lot bigger, Blackwater is powerful enough to invade countries, or at least make their lives miserable unless they pass laws favorable to their client. Blackwater? Right wing Christians. I am not sure about racist, unless it is that they hate Muslims right now. But next month it may be they hate any non Christian. They hate who they are paid to hate. They will hate you too if the rich find you offensive.

But always remember, "As long as the rich survive, America will do just fine." Right up until Judgement Day.

May You Live In Interesting Times

This was the perfect storm of greed and speculation. Yet most Republicans are still more pisssed that some pregnant Mexican girl got medical attention.

Take a look at what the Asian markets did tomorrow morning. They were leveling off today. But we still took a dive.

If they stay level tomorrow:

• and we begin to level off, maybe a drop of under 200 that is okay news
• and we begin to recuperate a bit that is good news
• and we still take a dive? "But when worlds collide," said George Pal to his bride, "I going to give you some terrible thrills."

If they take a dive tomorrow:

• have your luggage packed, just in case. How good are you with firearms?
• Texans have a million hogs, they will be fine.

Has McCain told the truth about anything?

If you going on the internet check and find if McCain has actually told the truth..ever? I am not saying he is not a brave warrior, in fact for every war he has been the first in line to send our troops into battle. Except of course for when Clinton sent our troops into the Balkans.

1.457 Trillion in debt after this passes

Can we afford McCain taking us into war in Iran, war in Pakistan and the continued war in Iraq?

Let us face the fact!

Let us face the facts, Iraq broke us.

Uh-Oh

  I did not write this I got it from msn. I think if you say that this is the highest evaluation in five years and then say the last time it happened was in 2001 then maybe financial analysis should not be your specialty. Maybe you should not go to UC Berkeley, maybe Bryman.

"uh-oh" story of the day comes from Bloomberg, which points out that shares of companies making up the S&P 500 Index are trading at 25.8 times profits, the highest valuation in five years. The last time that happened was in 2001, right before the dot-com bubble burst and U.S. companies lost about half their market value.

The problem, according to money managers, is that analysts are too optimistic about profits. Companies won't be able to reach the numbers analysts are predicting, and the high valuations are going to tumble. Analysts have overreached on profit in the last four quarters, according to Bloomberg.

where did we lose it?

We lost it somewhere in '60s when the evil started cutting down people. They got Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and maybe that shut the liberals up a bit, and the conservatives celebrated their demise in private and made their plans. Nixon was crucified so that the nation would think evil had been disposed of.

But it was all smoke and mirrors. Now we have private armies, private secret police, private intelligence services and now we have given them immunity from their actions. We may waterboard prisoners in our military, but we hire our private companies to do the nasty stuff.

No one has any rights when the private police come to question you. We have given them immunity before they do anything.

The New Warrior

We all have heard about Blackwater and Halliburton having their own private army, militia, security forces that work in conjunction with the US Military. More and more companies are seeing the advantages of creating their own private "militias" responsible only to the company but getting financing from the Federal Government.

We have now passed a bill in Congress, favored by McCain and Obama, freeing these companies of any responsibility for their actions. Hillary said no.

Blackfeather

What did we Pass

Big corporations have created and are creating their own para military forces and now get immunity when the government asks them to "obtain information" from "suspects". Torture that our military refuses to do is now done by corporations, now with immunity. Someday someone will have to have the balls to stand up to AT&T, Exxon, Halliburton and Blackfeather, oops I meant Blackwater. Until then our right wing will continue to partner with them for the greatest profit possible regardless of consequences.

I am on the "watch list" due to my heritage. I am sure I never give credit to the Bush administration for all the wonderful things that they do, have done and probably will do in the future. I certainly see a place for Bush and Cheney being ambassadors in the way Jimmy Carter is still an ambassador. Only not in negotiating peace, but more in negotiating the price of arms sales to nations with conflicts. They are the NRA.

I keep seeing things that liberals believed getting ignored by the Democrats. That is why I refuse to support either party, if I was the holder of the deciding vote I would give it to Barack because it will at least mislead the rest of the world into thinking America stands for racial equality. This will give our big corporations an advantage when they need a government overthrown for their benefit in Latin America. With compete immunity, of course.

Blackwater, oops Blackfeather
