How does a drought in one area one year make me "clearly mistaken"? I think your assertion is without merit.
As the world warms, such exceptional heat waves are expected to happen much more frequently.
So? Means nothing to global crop production, other than some areas will produce less and other areas will produce more. There are also expected to be less exception "cold snaps" which also kills crops. So crops that would have been destroyed by early / late / or exceptional frost would survive. Plants (in case you didn't know) are more vulnerable to excessive cold than excessive heat.
Herbert Hoover tried the Tea Party approach to an economic meltdown, and the result was 25% unemployment, breadlines and tent cities. Did you see those things during this meltdown? This time around, shaking money out of the mattresses of cowering capitalists worked.
Quite wrong, but I understand why you believe it since it's the revisionist history that has been repeated over and over by the compromised media and the state-run school system.
FYI - Herbert Hoover was a major interventionist, and the massive deficit spending and interventionist policies he implemented exacerbated the Great Depression. So the voters kicked him out, and installed a Socialist instead. Who also made things worse with even more intervention, but at least he spoke well enough to convince people that his ideas were working. Shit, a lot of people still believe it.
we do not, but the more co2 the more expensive food gets in the log run due to crop failures, which will completely screw over parts of Africa but you do not care about that do you?
Parts of Africa are already screwed due to the assholes running the place. And some global carbon tax and more elites with more control over the serfs will only make that worse. Global warming itself will actually be better for crop production of just about every kind, and should actually increase the amount of arable land globally. Not to mention any taxing or capping of carbon emissions will do nothing but make food more expensive, as it takes a lot of carbon to grow and transport the stuff.
So your premise is completely wrong. Global warming, unchecked, will make food less expensive, if anything, on the world commodity markets at least.
I don't know, maybe the creation of some false flag organization called "LulzSec"? That allows them to go around arresting people claiming they are "part of it", when, in fact, it's some government lackeys running the whole thing?
Come on, people! Hal Turner? You know they do this stuff! Look at this post from their Twitter page:
WE HAVE JOY WE HAVE FUN, WE HAVE MESSED UP MURDOCH'S SUN
What 19-year-old would even know that song from the 1970's? Or anybody under 40? Much less use it as a reference.
Government is shutting down hundreds of websites whenever they want to just for selling fake handbags, yet Lulzsec still has an active Twitter account? Give me a break!
And the Constitution was created by dead white men and is all out-of-date and in the way, right? Right? Yea, I've heard your meme, too. Not buying, and not buying your New World Order agenda. I happen to like freedom and refuse to be a slave to the UN Charter of Global Governance, thank you very much.
Well said. This is just another article promoting the "Internet anonymity is bad" meme - probably scripted and promoted by The Chertoff Group. Yea, those guys. You know, the former Homeland Security Secretary who then started a security company and then sold its products to (surprise!) the DHS' TSA.
Chertoff was a major promoter of Real ID - the national ID card scheme passed purportedly to prevent terrorist attacks, even though it would actually do no such thing, but would provide a government a much better way to closely track its citizens and their activities, as well as massive profits for Chertoffs company. Note the security and online identity companies that they have now purchased or invested in. Getting some legislation mandating the ideas behind NSTIC will reap massive return for those investments.
Chertoff's group is quietly lobbying to bring back the Real ID (under a different name, of course) with new partners like the Center for Immigration Studies.
So, yea, when I see articles like this, I get REAL suspicious about who is behind it and what their real agenda might be.
Well we don't really do streaming. We've had the Blockbuster DVD-by-mail service for 3 years or more, and it meets our needs very well. They tried to raise the monthly price on us once a year or so ago, so we cancelled and started looking at the NetFlix options, but before we did anything, Blockbuster emailed us with an offer at an even lower monthly price that we were paying before, sans the return-it-to-the-local-rental-store option. We never did that anyway, so we re-upped with Blockbuster for that deal.
Yea, I get that everybody else loves NetFlix and loves to bash Blockbuster. I was never much of a fan of their stores, and almost never used their streaming / on-line purchase services, but the service we have is fine, and works great for us, and is less than the comparable service from NetFlix, not to mention the wait-30-days-for-new-releases issue that we never dealt with. So BB does have happy customers, in spite of the vast amount of noise claiming otherwise.
When we can get george soros hung up on something sticky like this then we will have something.
He's keeping his head down for now. Once Murdoch's organizations are handed over to more "responsible" management, he'll be able to do whatever he wants and there will be no MSM outlet to report it.
You should make sure you know what you're talking about before opening your mouth. Here's a good start.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced an amendment on the floor effectively adding the Grayson-Paul language to the Senate bill, but later changed his amendment under pressure by the Federal Reserve and the Obama administration. The altered Sanders amendment passed the Senate on May 11, 2010 by a unanimous 96-0 vote.
You do realize that it was Bernie Sanders, not Paul, who ordered this audit, right? You know, Sanders (S-VT), where "S" is the Socialist Party of Vermont?
Actually, it was originally Ron Paul's bill. Sanders sold out, gutted it, and instead of a comprehensive full audit of the Fed became and extremely limited, one-time audit instead.
Exactly. The claim that "there is no inflation" is nothing but a lie. Those of us watching our living expenses go up already know this. Others just believe the lie.
Fiat currency is a technology. We the ppl can use it to benefit us! Just think, if the Fed created $16 trillion out of thin air and there was no inflation to speak of, why can't we print the budget and empower individuals with a basic income, and fund challenges to stimulate the innovation that is the real driver of standard of living increases?
There's no such thing as a free lunch. Those at the top get to use the money while it retains most of it's value. Those further down the money "food chain" won't get to use any of that extra money until most of the value is depressed. That's how the wealthy use fiat money and inflation to rob the rest of the people. Because they just need capital to get more capital, but the rest of us have to do real work and produce real goods and services.
Except other currencies have been relatively stable with the dollar.
And before you start saying "well, they had 200% inflation too!", they didn't, because the prices of non-gold commodities didn't go up by the same amount. Gold is in a bubble.
Bullshit. How about oil? And how about industrial commodities? Have you compared the price of gold over time to the price of wheat?
I also suggest you take a careful look at the stock market, which the "experts" in Washington and at the Fed claim is indicating a recovery. In fact, the stock market prices simply reflect the first place where the devalued dollar starts to show large price increases. Check out the indexes vs. the price of gold, and you'll notice that the market is still depressed, and the only thing that is failing is the fiat "money" that the elites are fooling everyone with and using to rob the lower classes.
If the Indian's living and working in the US can do that, why can't you? RTFS. This isn't about outsourcing.
Oh, right. They need to rent a room with 5 other H1-B Indians, and share meals of course. And they'll still have more to send home than it costs me to support a family. Even on the depressed (oops - I mean "documented comparable" - LOL) salary they are earning.
Lucifer Clinton doesn't give a rip about the US or any of the slaves living here. She's busy laying the groundwork for the New World Order, in which she will be one of the ruling elites. I mean, she spent more money securing a beard for her mistress Huma Abedin than I spend on everything over 10 years. And he couldn't even keep his hands off the Tweeter to keep from screwing that up.
If you have the choice between a white person and an indian, and you pick the white person because they are white... that is called discrimination and makes you racist.
If you are afraid of losing your job, be better than everyone else.
Also, learn to support your entire family on $5 a day.
In many states, there is an unemployment tax already which goes to fund Unemployment Compensation.
Actually, that's in all states that have provide unemployment. Which, I believe, is all of them. That's how it works - the states run it with some leeway, but a lot of rules are set by the federal DOL. Employers pay unemployment tax based on the number of workers, the salaries paid, AND their history of laying off workers (employers with high turnover pay a higher tax). They are also required to report all wages paid each quarter the the state employment security office. And they, in turn, send all that information to the US Census Bureau.
It's just like an insurance program, which is why they call it... Unemployment Insurance.
I was challenging a widely-held assumption, not asking for someone to give a tired rant about the banking system.
I don't accept your premise that it's a widely-held assumption. I assert that it's a meme intentionally propagated by the (compromised) mainstream media.
You mean those dust-ups in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia don't count? Besides that, the most horrific war so far in human history killed about 75 million people, which is a mere 10% of 7 billion people.
There are 2 real solutions to the problem:
1. Government policies making it difficult-to-impossible for parents to have lots of kids (the Chinese approach). The biggest drawback of this is that societies with a strong sense of gender roles may engage in infanticide in order to ensure they end up with a male child (which also creates a large pool of sexually frustrated men)
2. Economic development. Societies with a highly developed economy make birth control readily available and make having children more expensive. That reduces population growth. For instance, many European countries have been contending with negative growth rates for a long time now.
Good point. The single most successful programs for eliminating population has been governments' killing or starving their own people. More people have died at the hands of their own governments than any other cause.

Can someone explain to me why US Treasuries should be rated AAA in the first place?
Because the US still has about 180 million Human Resources still willing to pay the interest...

What do you expect from British law enforcement?

Several reports would disagree with what you observed. For example: http://mediamatters.org/research/201107140013 There are others.
Media Matters. Yea, that's credible.
Or maybe the guy who actually did this? You know Bernie Sanders, or as Paulites would refer to him "teh ebil Socialist."
Ron Paul gets a lot of credit for doing a whole lot of nothing.
I'm getting tired of correcting you ignorant masses. But here is the full story, again
Or, say, Bernie Sanders, who ordered this audit.
You should make sure you know what you're talking about before opening your mouth. Here's a good start.
