You're more right than you could ever imagine, brother Alemão... I never DID understand religion - I have no FAITH! Awww... hmmm - I use Deductive systems instead! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_of_faith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_system Show me the LIGHT, father! I am sooooo alone in the desert... Oh, it's 5000 feet down... who the hell turned on the lights - I almost wet my pants. Turn the lights off again - and pass me those Xanaxes... I'm just LMFAO!
What most people don't understand is how the RAND Corporation has been gearing scientific research towards social control. So called non-lethal weapons like Tazers, pepper-filled paintball bullets etc. It has all a nice ring to it. Try to stage a 1960s style civic movement protest... you guys will be crushed like small cockroaches fleeing all over the place. Your voting power and democratic process - ridding it from the corruption of the elitist priesthood who get their research from AEI, the American Enterprise Institute ... If you guys don't do something to strengthen democracy in the US, you are all in deep shit. Anyone trying to heckle at the GOP got carried away and the self-censorship of the convention chanting "USA! USA! USA!". It is truly surreal to watch for someone who also know how the nationalsocialists in Germany organized themselves. Frankly the nationalism and symbolism of the US today is very troubling for anyone watching from the outside.
And Donald Rumsfeld's speech on "global war of ideas" - including the Internet... http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/transcript.aspx?transcriptid=1206
Well, as I sit here looking at oil down nearly 5 quid, and the Dow Futures down 210, I must confess - I didn't anticipate how sharp this correction would be. I see few tools left in central banks' arsenals, I am looking at a European and Asian meltdown that may overshadow our own here in the U.S., and I see cascading psychological destruction of consumer confidence, which inevitably leads to even those who have decent jobs and savings HOARDING THEIR CASH AND ELIMINATING ALMOST ALL DISCRETIONARY SPENDING - - and this is the type of extraordinary reaction that stops money from circulating, and actually does lead to depressions. Be afraid. The bottom could be no where near in terms of time or proportion.
07-22-08 08:17 PM Let me tell you something. You think you know that things will get bad with the banks, right? I mean, there's been doom & gloom all over the news, and predictions of bank failures by the hundreds, right? You are all prepared, right? Nothing will shock you? Things are 100x worse than what anyone has publicly been saying... Props for this, BuyLo! Dead on. Wish I was short...
Fortunately we have millions of red necks with sniper.. ahem. hunting rifles that will ironically save us in the end
