  • @Dedo:
    I didn’t mention emotion either.

  • @Frances,.Feeling underlies representational dialogue not as a separate entity but as another way of knowing. It is fundamental to all thought

    I beg to differ,…: /

  • Of course! Dedo, If that’s how you’re feeling!

  • Here I am getting all hot & bothered, and I haven’t even heard this week’s episode of the Rape & Pillage Report.

    Whether you get a fake ‘two-party’ system, or a bunch of old queens dressed in drag and playing ‘whigs & torries,’ a rigged game seems an absolute necessity these days, as the US does the Queen’s dirty work, undermining nations while reducing the quality of life for all.

    For over 3 years I have been trying to figure out how to present & sell the idea of a reverse-sharecropper concept where wealthy first-worlders could ‘buy’ happiness and stability for farming families in idillic locations, like Costa Rica. But, every time you turn around, some ‘Noriega-Goldmember’ is putting the screws to the peasants, and the entire dream goes into back-slide.

    2010 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
    Guevara Promises Dollarization and Lower Taxes; Chinchilla Confident To Win In First Round

    Otto Guevara, the presidential candidate for the Movimiento Libertario (ML) party said he plans to “dollarize” the Costa Rican economy if elected.

    Guevara made known his proposal during a presentation of a “plan de acción” (plan of action), in which he also promises a computer for every student in primary school and lower sales and income taxes.

    Guevara explained that his plan includes sending the proposal to dollarize the economy to the legislature and call a public referendum in 2011, to let the people decide if they want to adopt the American currency as their own.

    On the side of the street, front runner Laura Chinchilla of the Partido Liberación Nacional (PLN) is confident that she will win the presidency in the first round and assures there will be no second round.

    Chinchilla says that she has shown her capacity to lead, to make decisions, contrary to what her opponents say.

    A candidate must obtain 40% or greater of the vote on election day on February 7th. If no candidate obtains the 40%, then a second round vote is called for between the top two candidates.

    In the latest poll, Chinchilla leads with a 36.7% support, followed by Gueavara with 16.2%, Ottón Solís of the Partido Acción Ciudadana with 8.5% and Luis Fishman, “el menos malo” (the least bad) with 2.2%.

  • Your show is more like: Dat Dah Dah,..Daaaah!

  • @Frances,..Oh,..aren’t we the razor ! ; )

  • @Dedo:
    Yes.

    Which reminds me: where’s Mike King?!

  • @Frances,.I’ve been keeping an eye open for part three on the financial sense site,…but alas, he must be preoccupied with fighting the NWO.
    Like wise though,.I did love his posts!

  • Yes, Dedo…Very CAPITAL posts….and Jim….he’s been….missing…ASWELL.

  • The Omega Effect’s results are similar those of El Nino, basically it gets warmer in all the places that are usually cold, eg Alaska & Scotland, and wet in places that are usually dry, eg. S. Calif.

    These oscillations in Earth’s atmosphere are not bizarre, especially if you think of the whole atmosphere as one system which is moving energy from the Sun around in turbulent ways. For comparison, take a look at oscillations in Jupiter:

  • I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as “fiat currency” or “fractional-reserve banking.” There is only debt and derivatives.

    When people talk about the fed printing trillions of dollars and hyperinflation, they’re ignoring the HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DERIVATIVES. Leverage does not come from bank deposits. The banks print money (forget the puny Fed) by creating unregulated derivatives. There is little to no “reserves” backing up the banking system. It simply rolls over daily.

    Each “fiat currency” is really the equivalent of a country issuing equity. And it is all backed up not by gold, paper, or thin air, but by the ability to collect taxes.

  • @ Max and Stacey,

    Do I detect a flip-flop on you’re Global Warming position?

    http://blog.small-farm-permaculture-and-sustainable-living.com/

  • Oops. thats your position. Sorry about the typo, my fingers are freezing.

  • @Photoception

    You are exactly right and that’s why it makes no sense for Congress to be holding hearings so Goldman Sucks and JP Morgan can make EXCUSES all day.

    CALL CONGRESS AND SAY: ENOUGH TALK!!!!!!
    SHUT DOWN GOLDMAN SUCKS!
    BAN WORTHLESS DERIVATIVES!

    We are being looted left-n-right by these thieves @Goldman Sucks and JP Morgan.

    The bail outs represents the worse INJUSTICE since SLAVERY!

  • @ Max & Stacy

    This is one of my favorette punk songs written by Propagandhi over ten years ago. But perhaps more relevant today than ever:

    Does it seem strange to you?
    The confetti. The balloons.
    The mile-wide grins,
    and the victory dance to welcome
    in the heir,
    to a state of disrepair?
    Because it sure seems strange to me: they’re acting like they won the lottery!
    I mean, shouldn’t they feel terror
    at the task that lies ahead:
    to feed and house the people
    that this system’s left for dead.
    And could I have hit the nail much harder on the head?
    It’s profits before lives.
    They are motivated by greed.
    First they taught us to depend
    on their nation-states to mend
    our tired minds,
    our broken bones, our bleeding limbs.
    But now they’ve sold off all the splints
    and contracted out the tourniquets
    and if we jump through hoops then we might just survive.
    Is this what we deserve?
    To scrub the palace floors?
    To fight amongst ourselves?
    As we scramble for the crumbs they spit out,
    frothing at the mouth about the scapegoats that they’ve chosen for us.
    With every racist pointed finger I can hear the goose-steps getting closer.
    They no longer represent us;
    is it not our obligation,
    to confront this tyranny?

  • @TS Gordon;

    Well, that sort of does it for me for Costa Rica. We were trying to do the same as you in CR, but with this kind of election coming up and the eyes of the World Order on Costa Rica, why move? It will look like the political nightmare of the US or what the New World Order wants it to look like.

    The carbon tax will really kick in over there.

    Check out infowars and the 9 part interview with George Hunt, or go to youtube and check out other interveiws of George Hunt, HIs work has been to educate people for the last 20 years regarding the New World Order and the world bank that is being set up right now.

    There is no place to hide, no place to run. In 2012 the financial system is going to collapse and a world currency or debt swaps are being set up right now. This world bank will have control of all mortgages held by current American banks and other soverign banks. Currency as we know it will be gone. Gold will not help you. A new currency will be issued for the world that underlies a “soft” currency of the various nations.

    Incredibly depressing. But the interviews and tapes from the meetings that he has attended over the years are astounding.

  • Re: my earlier comment, have changed my mind although not an outstanding show, it did have its moments, have been dwelling on the thought of ideas being passed magnetically throughtout species, I suppose that could account for what we know as the zeitgiest.

  • Bloomberg is saying SEC is talking of banning high frequency trading by banning naked buying & selling.

  • Whale Wars is a fun show, but the crew of the Steve Irwin, and the Captain, act like a bunch of fools that are incapable of doing anything correctly.

  • @Stacy

    funny you mentioned dolphins helping people in distress in the water. I dont know if you remember this story from last month about Moko the dolphin apparently bullying swimmers & surfers off Gisbourne, NZ.

  • @TSG
    You Might check Wyclef before you throw him under the ruble.
    He knows some shit.
    I know some times it’s hard to have an open mind or maybe its just easier to sub group.
    Cheers

    Males are probably the easiest to detect. They will swim around, sporting an erection (anywhere between 10 to 14 inches long for a Bottle-nose), and will have no bones about swimming up to you and placing their member within reach of your hand. If you are in the water, they may rub it along any part of your body, or wrap it around your wrist or ankle. (Dolphin males have a prehensile penis. They can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such.) Their belly will also be pinkish in colour, which also denotes sexual excitement.

  • Max,
    Loved the show !
    The whole cloud thing I believe is a way for a company like google,
    to take the market into a “mainframe” model.
    All applications, processing and data under one roof.
    This could kill file sharing inside the network,and end piracy as we know it. :(
    Everyone gets a terminal so they can check your interval. (THX1138)

    If you examine the facebook effect closely and I’m sure you have. You see what it has done to fill the void in so many peoples lives or so they feel this to be true. It’s easy to see how this could be the next big thing, and perhaps the technology necessary to bring about what you are proposing under your casino gulag model would be some sort of cloud structure.
    A gulag has to be able to hold its prisoners.If you want to hold them you must create online bill pay, online banking, and an online a tax program tied to the treasury. The cloud may also bring on other issues like virtual law suits where your online personalities could be subject to laws of conduct.
    Internet sovereignty if it exists would be gone. The whole cloud thing freaks me out.

    Now,
    Interesting stuff on the potential of the mind. Some of it will be used for good and the rest for killing.
    I worked on a doc last year and the outfit is this group
    http://www.hesainstitute.com/about.php
    Now these guys don’t say much on their site,
    but they are working on some amazing stuff.
    They have a box, like a tape recorder, they record good intentions from monks, they playback the intentions over the chocolate. Like everyone loves the groovy monk chocolate and guess what, it heals them too. This is headed down the road of “if you just believe” not good for the nay sayers, but great news for dorothy, kansas, christians,muslims and so forth.
    Dam, how can they all be right ?
    Well this scientific breakthrough may in the end show them why.
    And then they can all stop fighting.

    You mentioned controlling devices with your mind.
    They are also working that one up too, looks like the military is lending a hand in funding, they want to control all kinds of stuff with the head. I can’t say much about it here.

    And the dolphins.. so the smart ones have already left the building like Elvis.

    Did you grow up watching Flipper ?, good old bud and sandy.

    I had a crazy dolphin realization years ago after drinking too much cough syrup. Ever since then I thought there was more to the dolphins than meets the filpper.

    Now I wasted all this time on human potential when I should have been moving my money to a local bank (credit union) because of humans maximizing profit over potential.

    Hey if you looked like blankfein you would try to maximize profits too. Otherwise his potential with the ladies would be zero.
    He looks like the kid in the movie who got the BB gun for christmas, lost all his hair and became an asshole.

  • Flipping flipper ! You smoked some real good stuff this morning ! Can I have some ? By the way. No need for eostrogene in plastic products. You find it naturally in soya products. Chineese men eat a lot of soya (tofu) and strange enough no problemo making babies with leur tendre moitié. You ate too much sushi laced with fresh raw dolphin. Whale blabber is EXCELLENT for the brain. It’s saturated with omega 3 and makes you live very long. That’s why you have so many old japaneese; the fish and the whale blabber. Yum yum,

  • What the F are you guys talking about?? F-en Flipper and Monkeys?? What drugs are you on?? I’d like some!

  • Omega was one of my favorite super hero from Marvel.

    Thousands of Scientist are now agreeing to a ice age for
    only three months. It will get warmer in the summer.
    And we will get a heat stroke from the global B.S. coming
    from Copenhagen.

    It seemed to me that was a lot of Co2 coming from this
    show. What, running out topics.
