Heh, you uneducated ignorant sop. I’m going call you a name. Take it like a man. Even though you’re a ‘boy’. What’s that you say? WELL, I can say what I like. It’s a free country. N*ggers will just haftogetusedtoit. Bout time, let my hate hang on the line with my clean undies.

“and you are not educating that person by giving into their ignorance.”
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never harm me. ?!
“and if you even consider a word “may” offend someone even though you are using it properly and the individual who misinterprets it is a dunce and you change your speech pattern, you are a coward”
Free speech is a protected right in America, but thrusting forth words that have negative societal connotations irregardless of audience is self-serving, arrogant, and uncivil.
Bernanke Learns Flexibility in the Debate Over Fed’s Role
‘”Ben Bernanke turns out to have better political instincts than anybody thought,” Mr. Frank said in an interview last week. “They accept the fact that I know what I’m doing up here.”‘

The U.S. dollar has so far had an orderly depreciation, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said on Tuesday.
“Thus far the dollar has not been in a disorderly depreciation,” Fisher told reporters, when asked about the carry trade.
In a speech earlier, Fisher warned that the Federal Open Market Committee would craft an appropriate response if the carry trade proved disruptive to currencies and securities.
He said he was aware of risks the FOMC ran of fuelling the trade by stating the Fed would hold its funds rate at exceptionally low levels for an extended period.

It’s called a pathocracy,..imagine being reared by a person who is devoid of the ability to experience deep emotion.
Hate is a “degree” of emotion, like a wave is part of the ocean.
Words emanating from the psychopath confuse non-psychopaths with their ability to cause emotional turmoil(double think),..sociopaths are the resultant product of a mother and father with no soul!

“One reason why our body politic is so apathetic, sources from systematic mindcontrol trough technologies such as Haarp.
But it’s also realted to the sunspot cycles cause we’re at a deep solar minimum now, there are all these outrages happening and the human population seems relatively apathetic, to begin to move around it.”

oops….
marietta, you filled in my last thought. I didn’t give you enough time. I agree.
. . . and a last thought that I hopped you would full fill . . . he simply uttered a word without malice that has taken on the connotation of racism.
Niggardly:
,i.1 : grudgingly mean about spending or granting : begrudging
2 : provided in meanly limited supply
Dan 2
Totally agree. I have a right to not listen to speech and even the right to shout it down. Govt. does not.
And I do think the public official was using the word as it was intended. I think that situation reflects more on the poor quality of education in the US than on anything else.
@marietta
Yes, I do recall that speech. Two thoughts. First, it was correct English that was not derogatory. Second, as a politician, he should realized that the word niggardly may be controversial.
Two more thoughts. First, if he realized that his choice of words was apropo yet controversial, I admire him. Second, if his choice of words was meant to stir controversy . . . he must accept the outcome.

@Wil l- “But why even censor deniers?”
I know. It was a rhetorical question. No speech should be censored. Even if the purpose is benign today .. . the precedent of speech denial may bite you on the ass later.
I do have a simple solution. Let me decide what speech is acceptable. Or him, or you . . . or that girl.

Dan2
i was just commenting that if the filter is supposed to prevent you from talking about a taboo subject, that it does a pretty poor job. I agree that there is no word or idea that should be sacrosanct or shunned for that matter
Do you remember the story about some govt. official in Washington DC (I think that’s where it was) that used the word niggardly and he had to resign because it sounded too much like the “n” word?
@Dan2 – But why even censor deniers?
It boils down to this: A guilty populace is easier to control. You’ll have to connect the dots yourself. Lots o’ schtuff out there on the subject, in both nonfiction and fiction (allegorical) formats, with or without tinfoil. I’m sure some folks here can think of examples.
@ DAN II One must question . . . why is that word sacrosanct.
Long time ago I read there was a German-Austrian boy, while he was growing up in a depressed Austria region, he was scarred by the treatment of an ethnic group of business owners and bankers treated the peasant population. So I have read …

Electronic Arts has announced plans to make more than 1500 staff redundant by April 2010, as well as the cancellation of at least 12 games that are currently in development. At the same time, the publisher has just bought out PlayFish, developer of popular social networking games for around $300 million USD, according to Gamasutra.

NOAA: Third Coldest October on Record…
State of the Climate
National Overview
October 2009
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
National Climatic Data Center
# The average October temperature of 50.8°F was 4.0°F below the 20th Century average and ranked as the 3rd coolest based on preliminary data.
# For the nation as a whole, it was the third coolest October on record. The month was marked by an active weather pattern that reinforced unseasonably cold air behind a series of cold fronts. Temperatures were below normal in eight of the nation’s nine climate regions, and of the nine, five were much below normal. Only the Southeast climate region had near normal temperatures for October.
# Statewide temperatures coincided with the regional values as all but six states had below normal temperatures. Oklahoma had its coolest October on record and ten other states had their top five coolest such months.
# Florida was the only state to have an above normal temperature average in October. It was the sixth consecutive month that the Florida’s temperature was above normal, resulting in the third warmest such period (May-October).
# The three-month period (August-October) was the coolest on record for three states: Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Five other states had top five cool periods: Missouri (2nd), Iowa (3rd) , Arkansas (5th) , Illinois (5th) and South Dakota (5th) . Every climate division in Kansas (nine) and Nebraska (eight) recorded a record cool such period.
# For the year-to-date (January – October) period, the contiguous U.S. temperature ranked 43rd warmest. No state had a top or bottom ten temperature value for this period.

I loathe hate. Hate is a malleable tool. 911 was hate. Iraq was hate. Pakistan was hate. Iran will soon be hate.
Great stuff you guys posted! Hate comes the fear of the unknown right? The ignorance and lack of proper education in the U.S. means more we are more vulnerable to manufactured ‘fear’ or hate.

Gaza is hate. My nightmare is to be a Gazan at the mercy of Israel. My nightmare is to be black at the mercy of the slave ship captain. My nightmare is to be a young male enraptured by current US “peacekeeping” propaganda.
“The Gazans are being decimated while the world looks the other way.”
Yes, And the US is thoroughly guilty of the crime and a supposed Christian nation. Men practice evil: not specific to any religion or race.

Competition is the invisible backhand that holds greed in check. When banks, ins companies get 2 big, competition fails – F.A. Hayek
I agree, Dan II, but you must be aware that unless you walk in your neighbors’ shoes you cannot be a judge of their actions. Right or wrong: it is as it is. Hitting your face against a brick wall because you must add a + sign to a word is malingering the importance of a sign which truly means nothing. The context of the words bear scrunity, but not by the state, only by the heart.
Attempting to legislate against hate won’t work. It is a shame the hate exists. People try to deny the hate exists because they are in a privileged position.
The truly privileged are those that allow for difference and try to understand why the downtrodden or the hated react with hostility generations ongoing.
Because hate is the sancrosanct of which you embolden questions. It is hate that brought the censorships, not a conspiracy.
Dang.
I’m gonna get booted from this place . . .
@Snoot
The Gazans are being decimated while the world looks the other way. It is in Israels interest that we all look the other way. How can peace be made with one holding a knife while the other holds a gun?
Peace is not the objective. Submission and eradication is.

Someone just put claims for mineral rights on some huge chunks of Alberta, Canada. The area totals over 7,000 Sq miles i.e. an area bigger than Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island combined.
I think it is for potash which will be shortly worth as much as gold, well not exactly, but a critical factor in modern agriculture.

Why is that single word sacrosanct? That is censorship by a machine which Stacy deems proper or improper. One must ask . . . why that word?
Ha! I used the chipmonk word and I am in moderation purgatory…
Sacrosanct.
1 : most sacred or holy : inviolable
2 : treated as if holy : immune from criticism or violation
— sac·ro·sanc·ti·ty \ˌsa-krō-ˈsaŋ(k)-tə-tē\ noun
Has a word become sacrosanct? How about Irish, English, Persian, Russian, Catholic, Hindu or Buddist?
@Merci:
Why are you waiting for a person that earns their bread in dollars to save you from the ones who pay their way in dollars? It won’t happen.
The poppets can say this and this and this and not that. Even Pastor Williams indicated this was so.
There is a lot more strength in love than all the guns and ammo and testosterone in the world. Surely! I do worry a bit about Youri’s prognosis on robots….but there you go. Once you’re dead they can’t hurt you!
What the f+ck? If Stacy wanted to censor she would kick me OFF seeing as I am often rude and offish! Leave off the racist slurs and no bad will come of future postings!
I don’t believe that a religion, or muslim or christian, is conspiratical in extending power. It is wrong to label people of another person’s act because of some religious association.
crap. it’s true: i had j + ewish in the previous post (inserted with muslim and christian) and it was automatically monitered. sad.
@Phil The Vatican joins the search for alien life

“Also – Perkins’ remedies involve shamanism, dreaming awake, ayahuasca (if taken to the logical end) and other things which may seem whacked to people in the US and other developed cultures. But that doesn’t mean they are invalid.”
Charlotte Bronte writes of entertaining visions while awake. Emily wrote this poem on the Imagination:
http://www.online-literature.com/bronte/1365/
“So hopeless is the world without;
The world within I doubly prize;
Thy world, where guile, and hate, and doubt,
And cold suspicion never rise;
Where thou, and I, and Liberty,
Have undisputed sovereignty.”
People who insist only on reason as thought entertain life while enduring a brain bunyon: self-inflicted and perpetual.

@Stacy
would it not be better to have one section per day for all the news stories you’re publishing? Then just keep updating the links as they come in. It’d be easier for us all to follow & respond to each others comments too.
@Will
Perkins is a fascinating read. How much he embellishes is unknown. The gist of his presentations smacks of truth to me. His analysis of how to proceed from here one must question simply by the nature of his previous tasks . . . to persuade.
The Christofascists/ Evangelical terrorists (Blackwater/Xe) reportedly used $1 million of US-taxpayer dollars to buy the silence of Iraqi officials after murdering innocent Iraqi civilians:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/world/middleeast/11blackwater.html?_r=2&emc=na
@Dan – thanks. I thought it might be the obscene limericks, so I’m relieved.
Also – Perkins’ remedies involve shamanism, dreaming awake, ayahuasca (if taken to the logical end) and other things which may seem whacked to people in the US and other developed cultures. But that doesn’t mean they are invalid. If Perkins gives you the creeps but you still want to explore the shamanistic path, look into other writers on that subject. Ken Carey and Alberto Villoldo come to mind as they are cultural bridges between the West and shamanism without the Perkins “reformed alcolholic” stigma.

@all
Perkins was a horny young man who desired pussy and power. He pursued this by any means available for decades. His conscious perhaps kicked in, or his priorities changed . . . who knows.
Like the director, _____________, (fill in the blank, use the latest if you prefer) who raped a young girl, Perkins raped countries via manipulation. He has confessed. Don’t be too quick to swallow his remedies. He is not worthy of providing future action. Take his words at face value. I believe his expositions. I take caution at his remedies.
The Vatican joins the search for alien life
The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding its first ever conference on alien life, the discovery of which would have profound implications for the Catholic Church.
…
… Among other things, extremely alien-looking aliens would be hard to fit with the idea that God “made man in his own image”.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ’s role as saviour would be confused: would other worlds have their own, tentacled Christ-figures, or would Earth’s Christ be universal?…

Re: Afghanistan
I dread the thought. My son, a Marine reservist, could be called up. I have actually contemplated a method to prevent that.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Iran . . . all of them fake pretenses for war. We, the masses, the peons, the serfs . . . duped by our masters. On a chess board, pawns are sacrificed as a result of strategy. Our children are sacrificed for profit and as a delaying tactic to the inevitable.
@Phil
Yeah i commend him on that. Yeah bringing out the facts that this is happening is the beginning battle that most people dont understand.
Hey Bwaney Fwank Pwease make some new wegulations that make corporations be nice to the people.
How about break up all monopolies period… then investigate fraud and corruption thoroughly both in the SEC, Corporations, Wall St. so on so forth.
@Joe … Perkins + Democracy Now / not so easy ?
Yes, but OTOH, bringing out this information into the open is a BIG start. People might start realizing that their sons are dying in needless wars not for patriotism but for money.
… not even to mention the innocent victims.
And the bigger question is “why” war , and not just trade !
Trade .. means paying a fair price ; War … is basically theft by force.

I can tell you with certainty that when women wear high heels, _my_ sex drive is increased … in direct proportion to the height of the heel.
Tim in Sugar Hill
And so I Am
I came to this place
Because I prefer it
To every other place,
Seemly being.
Lavender rests on my head
And I awaken to green.
The smallest sound
Resonates,
Rolls like a waxed apple
Down the wooden floor.
I might have apples for tea,
If I choose,
Cinnamon clinging to the crisp
Crust of my imagining.
Are there ever really voices?
Do echoes push away
The real art of language,
Imitating a cow bird’s cluck,
Tossing the darling progeny
To the sticks and the cold earth,
Balancing harmony with chaos.
Never lonely
The balance between the worlds.
Some call it madness
To relish solitude:
I lean across the slatted boards
Of my memory for refreshment
And joy at the diminished want of company.
For men crawl
Upon the face of the deep,
Insisting upon serious letters
And solemn notes to accompany
Their folly,
Resisting notice of beauty,
Casting nets for mermaids.
Nothing rewards the fight!
Not air, not pleasure, not justice.
No frolics–
Only drowning masses pulling
Upon the limbs of their own decay,
Grey-green and soft
Clinging members
Of the lost art:
Human.

@Dan II .. Perkins
He is on a mission to help uncover the fraud and corruption of the system.
He wanted to write his first book (EHM) in 1980 , but was bribed ( cash ) successfully not to .. as well as of course the threat on his life. He wrote EHM in secret and got a small UK publisher to suddenly announce it … his life insurance.
He’s accelerating his mission ( to do good ) it seems IMO because things are reaching a crescendo … where many things are now becoming apparent to the public anyway.
I wish him good luck.
@MEP
John Perkins was a master at convincing governments around the world to spend to their detriment. He is also a very persuasive author. I love his take on world events, but one has to wonder . . . has he stepped up his game or is he seeking repentance?

The above sentence is true.

Today was a really strange day ..I had the impression there was no real volume buying and MBI and ABK started tanking as well … the DJIA flag-waver was of course green but quite a few stocks in the red … as if the PTB (FED) was trying it’s utmost to hold the thing up.
I would normally be heavily in Puts, but you can’t trust anything these days let alone balance sheets.
The Denninger Audio was pretty good IMO .. he mentioned as well that there is no way you can invest in this ( now even more ) rigged market … just too rigged when you see those BK big-banks being pumped up … and keep thinking , this can’t go on !
Denninger loves the market and has an excellent knowledge especially of the bond market … which is why I think he is ( or was ) in denial about the whole game being rigged ( he loves to use his knowledge of the way the system “should” work ).
I read somewhere else today that despite all the MSM hype about Bond auctions going well .. a bond.market crash may be near. … forgotten where I saw that though.

@OP .. Thx , I’ll take a look.
, I worry about the Large Hadron Collider ever reaching full power and creating a novel subatomic template that crushes Earth out of existence. The purpose of the $10 billion machine is to simulate conditions of the Big Bang — surely that’s totally safe! Jamieson Kassner, a Canadian living in London, notes this reassuring story from Sky News — the collider just malfunctioned because a bird dropped a piece of baguette into a magnet: “Sections of the machine, which fires protons round a 17-mile-long tunnel at close to the speed of light in order to smash them in to each other, then overheated … according to scientists, had the collider been in operation at the time it would have shut down automatically.” Whew — automatic safety protocols to protect against baguettes! I’ll sleep better tonight. Go to the Large Hadron Collider Web site and click on “LHC Safety” in the upper left. You are not authorized to know why European bureaucrats consider the device safe!

@DanValley:
Summers was involved in the Harvard endowment racket.
@AdamC:
Goodness, that carbon link is surreal.
Stop Giving to Harvard! The stock-market decline caused Harvard’s endowment to shrink from a peak of $37 billion to a mere $26 billion, though much of the loss is only on paper. (Until you sell an asset, its price is an abstraction; people who left their retirement savings alone last fall when the market fell should eventually be fine, those who listened to CNBC talking heads and pulled their money out are the ones harmed.) That $26 billion is still the largest college endowment in the world, and exceeds the GDP of Ethiopia. Nevertheless, Harvard is bidding for our pity: reader Joel Bogosh of Geneva, Ill., points out this heart-string-tugging article that announces such misery as cereal and fruit replacing weekend hot breakfasts at residential houses. And no more “free” coffee for students! Bogosh notes students always paid for their “free” coffee, just through tuition bills.

Hah-vuud Yard, at a college that already has far too much money.Last week, a group of Harvard alums expressed outrage that even though the endowment value has gone down, the endowment’s six top managers received $26.8 million in pay. How is that different from polite embezzlement at AIG and Bear Stearns? Reader Anthony Dribben of Tallahassee, Fla., noted this Chronicle of Higher Education article by Kevin Carey, which makes the most telling point. Of the roughly $32 billion in gifts and endowment returns that Harvard enjoyed since 1990, “Harvard spent the money on many things, but not a dollar went to increasing the number of undergraduates it chose to bless with a Harvard education. In 1990 the university welcomed slightly more than 1,600 students to its freshman class. In 2008, $32 billion later, it enrolled slightly more than 1,600 freshmen. That is remarkable stinginess.” Harvard has used its bags of gold not to open doors but to shower bonuses on investment managers, pay Lawrence Summers nearly $600,000 to be a “professor” in a year in which he was rarely present at the school, and go on a construction spree.
Not only does Harvard still have the largest college endowment, in fiscal 2009 the school received $602 million in new gifts. That means Harvard in 12 months hauled in more additional money than the entire endowments of Bucknell, Colby, Haverford or William & Mary; in 12 months, Harvard took in more in donations than the entire endowments of Hofstra, Illinois Wesleyan and New Mexico State combined. (Check the fiscal 2008 endowment size of any college here; fiscal 2009 numbers are due soon.) Rich people, stop giving to Harvard! Give to any of the hundreds of worthy colleges and universities where your money will make a difference.

Eric Jansen over @ Itulip wrote a tale last year ref GOLD TAX, his source sez that ITALY said that if Gold was revalued then “People must not be allowed to profit”
Eric himself thought they might put a TAX on it.

US is number 1, and UK was number.
what was funny? well the presenter and reporters were quite open about the reasons why. 1- America has it’s own rules and only has bi-lateral agreements with a few countries.
2- It’s a massive business.
3- lots of money flowing from dodgy states in South America.

@ Marietta – Dodd took a beating in public opinion, because the Goldman Treasury blamed him for the AIG-financial-products division bonuses. The truth is that Dodd actually tried to strip the bonuses, but the Treasury wouldn’t let him. It was their fault and they let Dodd take the hit, b/c it fit with a long-held liberal criticism of Dodd as bankster-friendly and Wall St.-owned.

@Phil – $6,500 gold.
I also think it can go much higher, but at some point the price in dollars will become meaningless.
There are some things we have to see before the PM markets really get legs. Here are some examples:
1) There should be more public awareness of what’s really happening.
2) There should be some real fear, not the decaffeinated variety which is currently circulating.
3) There should probably at least one more serious war, too, and I’m not just talking about a fútbol match like they’re having in Afghanistan.
By “get legs” I mean when gold shoots up $100 in one day…now, it could liven things up if/when the dollar pukes over a very short period of time. But I don’t know if anyone could really predict exactly when that might happen. JS is pointing to Martin Armstrong, but who really knows? Be ready for surprises.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison … the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor.
P. D. Ouspensky:
The number of laws is constantly growing in all countries and, owing to this, what is called crime is very often not a crime at all, for it contains no element of violence or harm.
Gerry Spence:
A new fascism promises security from the terror of crime. All that is required is that we take away the criminals’ rights – which, of course, are our own. Out of our desperation and fear we begin to feel a sense of security from the new totalitarian state.

@ Veritas – I think the powers that be forgot to figure in the fact that states can’t even afford to keep prisoners in jail. Re: the fines and potential prison sentences, who knows what that will be. The #1 problem is that there is nothing in place to keep premiums from escalating. Hence, a system is being set up that will completely drain what remains of the “health care system,” and that will push millions of additional Americans into the position of not being able to afford the insurance.
The irony is that getting arrested for something and going to jail right now might be the best way for people w/o access to health care to actually get it. Jails are notoriously bad with mental health patients, but for other conditions, the prisoners are taken care of.
On the topic of the health debacle, I think Kucinich is dead on. This does not look good for the American people!
