Back in November I had my second heart attack, I neglected to mention it to my doctor or family. I spent a few weeks in bed to recover. I told myself it was best to keep the news to myself for them, so they wouldn't worry. I think maybe I did it because I don't want everyone telling me what to do. I consider myself fortunate as do my doctors, they tell me I shouldn't have lived this long or survived the first one; but, I did and the second too. I saw a therapist a few months back and he laughingly said, after reading my file, that I just refused to die. He was wrong, I already died once and am not afraid to do so again.
Last week, for reasons I prefer not to go into, I ended up talking to my ex-wife. It was actually a really nice conversation and we both agreed it was nice to hear each others voice. As far as I know, she is unaware of and has never read this blog. She is a nurse now and knew a lot about the pills I am on, she seemed to think it was a good idea that I be on them. I cannot say that I have any animosity towards her anymore and try not to make ex-wife jokes as much; but, sometimes, a good joke is just a good joke. I don't believe she has any animosity towards me either.
After the first heart attack, I sort of lost animosity for anyone. My ex-wife almost died during childbirth a couple of times. The first time was mind boggling and very close. The second was closer; but, different. The first time she lost over half her blood in minutes as she hemorrhaged. She told me how peaceful she found the first experience. She also told me that she never crossed over, never a Near Death Experience and I told her that dying was even nicer.
A lot of deaths are really calm. There is a point where you just know that your time is here and any worries that you have ever had just don't matter anymore. It feels even better when you give up on animosity and regrets. We put so much baggage on ourselves in the life. I sort of take things as they come anymore, seems easier on me.
I am going to post some news and opinion today. Sometimes when I post opinions on the news it may appear that I am angrier than I am. Truth be told most of it I find sort of amusing in it's predictability. We headed for some dark days and confusing times as the nature of our financial world changes and power shifts to the east and Africa. People will be confused and angry and some may get desperate; but, it is really just one of those rides you wait out.
New York Times - Eminent Domain: A Long Shot Against Blight
. This Mayor wants to buy up mortgages of houses that are underwater using the concept of eminent domain. Under eminent domain you buy properties for their current value. Well, if your house has lost half it's value and the bank owns the note, this could save you a lot of money. The banks don't like this idea and are trying to stop it. This is a good one to keep an eye on.

Michael Prescott's Blog - the big con. I don't really know anything about the blogger; but, I found it an interesting post. He hypothesizes that life is but a dream. I disagree, it is very real, it is just that as our senses expand the world becomes even more real and that is one of the things that happen when you die.
The Guardian - Oxfam: 85 richest people as wealthy as poorest half of the world. Did you know that there is actually more income inequality in the United States than in China? Did you know that in the last 5 years 95% of all the economic gains went to 1% and all the losses were taken by the bottom 95%. The same bankers that caused the mortgage crisis and have fixed all the financial markets have been the only ones to see a "recovery". I love tournament poker; but, hate a rigged game.
Yahoo - CNBC - Richest of the rich ponder how to level the field. The article is a poor example of journalism and a great example of propaganda. The survey was spiked. The wealthy are scared, they are worried that people have noticed that a very few have taken advantage over the vast majority of the rest of us.
WSJ - Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?. This is an opinion piece from a Billionaire who feels that the wealthy are being looked at like Jews were in Nazi Germany. He hates the Occupy Movement by the way. The wealthy are scared, they don't know what to do. During Occupy Wall Street, the banks gave money to New York City to pay for overtime for cops to protect and keep an eye on those crazy leftists.
Huffington Post - Slow Progress On Long-Term Unemployment Benefits As 1.6 Million Miss Out. Wait a second, I just had an idea. What if those concerned business leaders, who really care about income disparity created some jobs. After all, American business is sitting on over one and a half trillion dollars that could be used to create jobs right here in the United States.
Yahoo - AP - The new face of food stamps: working-age Americans. If business and the wealthy in America are not going to create the jobs for the future, who will? What world do you wish to leave your children because, guess what, we are not re-industrializing.
PandoDaily - Disingenuous Basterds: The oligarchs’ long campaign to depict their critics as Nazis
. I don't particularly like how the article is written; but, it has some great links to source articles.
Huffington Post - Why There's No Outcry. A friend of mine was at a party or some event and was introduced to a very important player in her field. She was offended when he took no notice of her. She was upset by that and I told her that he looked at her based on what she could do for him, same as she looked at him. Wealthy people are not the problem, the system that allows people to be taken advantage of is the problem.

Random links to be sure, or maybe they are each meaningful and it takes eternity to figure out how they all relate. We have two choices, either the universe is random or it is not. If it is not random then we must consider that it may be intentional, that is the God answer. Because the universe follows so many rules, rules that we cannot even totally understand, any real scientist accepts that the universe is not random. No scientist can be considered such if he believes the universe is random, they have to find an explanation and they insist that it does not include intent. That is a problem for them.
I find the book of Revelations fascinating because I am incapable of understanding it, just like it says we all are. The one thing we can all understand is what it says about confusion, it says that all will be deceived, even the elect, if that were possible. What if it were possible that all but a very few would be deceived in the end times? How is it possible that everyone in the world could be deceived? By what could we all be deceived at the same time? It would have to be something fundamental. An incomplete thought.

Currencies, Cars and Libel - Today's News
In a couple of days there will be a meeting of the power elite of government and business at the World Economic Forum and they are going to be discussing the coming global reset that happens after the international financial system collapses. Considering the fact that reported unemployment will show as 6.5% in the next couple of months and that the Federal Reserve will then stop buying $85 billion in bonds a month, I think their timing is impeccable.

Hmmmm, I think the banks that Detroit owes will no longer be as supportive of Detroit's bankruptcy because it was believed by them that pensions would get cut and they would get paid.

Yahoo - ABC News - Courtney Love Defends Tweet in 'Twibel' Defamation Suit
. I love this story and just wrote about the subject a couple of posts or so back. In my post I was talking about why I always link to my source material, am careful to not slander others and only post what I feel would stand up under traditional legal rules regarding libel and why I do not make and never intend to make a penny from this blog. Courtney Love (a singer) is being sued for having libeled someone on Twitter. The case has been accepted by a judge and is going forth. There is a good chance she will lose. At least I won't have to go back and change any of my posts.
Let me explain the difference between slander and libel. Slander is spoken lies about another that hurt their reputation. Libel is written published lies about another that hurt their reputation. You can be sued for either; however, the penalties for slander are less than those for libel. Now I am going to make a prediction. The law of libel and slander will be applied to the internet including Twitter, Facebook and blogs. Pay sites, sites that make money and business sites will all be treated under the law of libel; but, sites like mine will be treated under the law of slander. And I think that is the right approach.
Consider this blog. Firstly, everything I wrote about my divorce and ex-wife is true and cannot be considered slander. I should also mention that I have never posted her my name or my name. If you don't personally know me, there is no way that you could know who my wife is. In fact, many people that do know me don't know who my wife was. There are people that read this blog, that know me in person and have no idea who my ex is and they don't need to. What if I had wanted to hurt her and used her name and the name of the man she cheated on me with? What if I lied about her and claimed that she cheated on her taxes (she did not and used the same accountant as me because we filed jointly. In fact, she never ever even suggested we cheat on our taxes. I never even ever heard her complain about taxes and neither did I). But, what if I claimed that she cheated on her taxes and it resulted in her being audited, shouldn't I get in trouble for that. Shouldn't she be allowed to sue me?
Let me give another example. What if some 14 year old boy wrote on Facebook that his teacher molested him and it was a complete and utter lie. It could cause a lot of grief for that teacher and possibly his job. What if it was all a lie, should he not be punished and forced to publish a retraction? We should also consider copyright law. You might notice that I never post videos, instead I link to them. I don't publish things that are copyright protected or even things that are not, I link to the source material. I do not have permission to publish their material so I don't and I also do not make anything for people clicking through to my links. If I wanted to slander someone, I could do it and get away with it because of how I approach this blog. It is an opinion blog not an investigative blog. When I accuse someone of something I back it up and don't publish things that I cannot substantiate without saying so.
For any of you who post anything on the internet, please follow the simple rules. If you make money off your site or posts, let everybody know how you make your money. Don't lie about people or say things that you cannot prove. Now in regards to public figures (politicians, famous people and people in the news) you can voice a stronger opinion. That is traditional libel law. Here is a question for you, what if you could sued for what you minor child said on the internet? Lets go back to my hypothetical, your 14 year old daughter lies and claims her teacher molested her and publishes this on her Facebook page. What if you ended up having to pay for her lies, would you require that all her posts were pre-approved by you? I bet you would or you would prevent her from using the internet at all.
Should people like Alex Jones be allowed to say that Bill Gates wants to kill 90% of the population to 15 million people a month? Mr. Gates believes in controlling our population growth and openly says so as do many others, he has never recommended killing people to reduce the population. In my opinion, based upon all the things Mr. Gates and his wife have done, he wants to see people living longer, healthier and that there be fewer of us being born through choice and reward. Mr. Jones also believes that genetically modified food is being produced to kill us off, he is an imbecile and public figure and runs an site that carries advertising. Under the laws of both slander and libel, I can call him an idiot; but, I don't know that I would be able to say that he was paid money to publish things against Mr. Gates as I have no knowledge that he was.
The bottom line is that we should all be careful what we say on the internet. My ex has a Facebook page, I don't read it and don't feel a need to. I doubt very much that she has ever written a slanderous statement about me and she does not understand the law of libel or slander. I doubt very much that she would lie about someone else on the internet just to hurt them, she didn't do that in person. You don't need to know the law to know what is wrong and it is wrong to make things up about others and say them to others. It is just wrong. She may have lied to me about somethings; but, I am not aware of her ever lying to me about others doing bad things when they were not.
I have openly called Mr. Elliot Broidy a crook. But he confessed to felony fraud. I have openly stated that CIM Group bought a property from Mr. Eddie Nash who admitted to bribery of a judge. I can back these things up with their own words and did. I am more than happy to name names when I can back it up. This site has had just shy of 50,000 hits. In the scheme of things that may be minor; but, if I just openly lied about people or said things without any proof, would that really be right? I have around 1,500 posts and 12 followers. Maybe each follower has read every post, that would account for around 20,000 of my hits (by the way, I know for a fact that not all my followers read every post). This means that as many as 30,000 people have read my blog, the number is high because I have many regular readers that are not "followers". Having said all that, lets assume that at least a thousand people have read my blog at least once. If I lied about people, if I accused people of things that I could not prove, should I get away with it?
One of the books I read when I was a child (12 or 13) was by a famous attorney named Louis Nizer. I was a strange kid. He wrote a book called, "My Life In Court" and one of his biggest cases was a libel case. He is my favorite attorney of all time. My favorite judge of all time is Billings Learned Hand, while obscure to most, he was my hero in law. His opinions are considered as important as anything the Supreme Court ever passed. He was called the tenth justice, lol. On freedom of speech issues, I always agreed with Mr. Hand even when the Supreme Court did not and I still got the American Jurisprudence Award for Constitutional Law. Nobody ever got in trouble for agreeing with Mr. Hand because he was laser on to the truth and good logic rather than convenient excuses. He was also very instrumental in developing tests for libel and slander. My two favorite legal people ever both believed that freedom of speech was the most important freedom and both understood that there had to be some limitations on communication. People should not be able to plan killing others for insurance pay outs on the internet, they would not be free to do so in person. All restrictions on public speech are not wrong. The most important thing is where the line is drawn.

The Federal Reserve, QE Taper and Unemployment Scam
If you want to know what is coming and have an idea of when, you have to follow the money. I decided today would be a good day to write a really uncomplicated explanation of what is going on.
After the economic crash of 07-08, banks could not get enough liquid cash to make substantial loans. As a consequence, central banks (like the Federal Reserve) started printing more and more money and loaning it to banks at near 0%. The stated idea was that these banks that got the loans would then begin lending it out; but, they did not. Instead, the banks invested the money in high risk and high yield items and then kept the investment for themselves and did not pass these profits onto paying a higher interest rate on your savings. They didn't need your deposits because they were getting free money from the government.
After trying two different types of "quantitative easing", the Federal Reserve began what is known as QE3 which basically involved the Federal Reserve printing money (reducing the value of our currency so that it buys less for the same amount) and buying treasury bonds. When you really think about it, the Federal Reserve is buying real assets with phoney money. Just so you understand, your taxes have to pay off those treasury bonds that were bought with phoney money.
Well, when QE3 began, the Federal Reserve stated that it would continue buying the bonds until the unemployment rate dropped to 6.5%, at the time it was 8%. The stated belief was that as money freed up, the banks would lend it out and business would expand and create more jobs. None of this happened. Banks tightened up on lending and businesses kept their prophets in banks or paid them out in dividends. It should be apparent that more jobs have not been created. In fact, more jobs have been lost than created since these games began.
Here is where the real non-sense comes in. Once you stop receiving unemployment benefits, you stop showing as unemployed. The government does not judge unemployment based on how many people are working or on how many people are looking for jobs. The figure is based on people working and people receiving unemployment benefits. The number of people working is the lowest that it has been in decades and the number of people on unemployment was higher than it has been in decades.
People have been wondering when the Federal Reserve will stop buying these bonds. In fact when the Federal Reserve said they might start to buy fewer bonds, the stock market dropped. Wall Street loves cheap money and through a taper tantrum (not my term; but, one I like a lot). People like Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente and even Max Kaiser all said that the Fed would not begin to taper; but, they all missed the trick. You see, they thought the Federal Reserve was lying about tapering and never considered that unemployment would drop to 6.5% because they didn't see anyone creating jobs. Well, about one million people stopped receiving unemployment benefits this month with another few million to go off unemployment over the next months. That is the trick, Bernanke didn't think there would be more jobs and didn't say there needed to be, he said unemployment figures needed to drop and they have without any jobs really being added. This month unemployment dropped to 6.7%, the same month that a million people lost unemployment benefits without getting a job. It is a scam.
A couple of days ago the jobs information came out and Wall Street wasn't worried because very few jobs were created and we continued to lose others. They have concluded that the tapering will not begin. Nope, they missed it. Unemployment could fall to 6.5% as early as next month and then the taper will have to begin. The media is absolutely complicit in feeding everyone the lies. Why hasn't the financial reporting media pointed out that the Fed promised to stop QE3 when unemployment goes to 6.5% and that could happen any day. Instead the financial news talks about how the tapering could be a long time away and that the Federal Reserve is worried about how the stock market will respond. Now it gets even scarier.
Christmas time is the busiest time of year for retailers. They used to say that a retail store made 60% of all it's money for the year at Christmas time. They also hire more people beginning somewhere in October and lay them off in January. There is a very good chance that the January numbers will be released in February and show that hundreds of thousands of people were laid off in January and that will distort the unemployment figures again.
If I were really energetic I would make a spreadsheet showing how many people lost their jobs, how many people got new jobs and how many people received unemployment benefits for each month since QE3 began. I would then look at the increase as a percentage of total jobs were created and lost between October of each year and February of each year, this would give us a pretty good indication of how many jobs were related to Christmas time sales and were only really temporary in nature. This is absolutely the type of information that the government collects, I know, they used to collect it from me once a month. The Federal Bureau of Labor collects this information and used to contact me and who knows how many others once a month for it. What this information would tell you is when the unemployment figure will show as 6.5%. It will be in the next couple of months if not next month. Maybe this has something to do with why Congress did not extend the unemployment benefits?
Consider this scenario, if you see the following, know we have been cheated and lied to again. Next month, February or even March, the unemployment figure drops to 6.5%, the Federal Reserve immediately stops buying treasury bonds. Wall Street goes nuts and drops. The Republicans decide to go along and continue unemployment benefits for people that went without for the prior two months and the market recovers. The very special Darwinian aspect of this is that anyone who stopped getting unemployment benefits and isn't hitting the pavement immediately will be considered deserving of getting nothing in six months.
For those who have listened to Mr. Schiff and the like, that claimed that the taper will never happen. They did not understand what the promise was, 6.5% unemployment. Once unemployment hits 6.5%, the Federal Reserve will have no excuse for QE3, none.
Here is the real scam, the bottom line to what we have been seeing. The reality is that the United States will have fewer jobs and a smaller percentage of it's population employed in the future. Actually we are there now. This is on top of the fact that we have fewer kids than in the past. The number of adults over 18 that have jobs has dropped and will continue to drop, the real numbers, the numbers that reflect people able to be employed. We will decrease the number of people on unemployment and increase the number of people on welfare and food stamps.
Here is how this all began and ends. After World War II, America was the worlds superpower economically. Europe was devastated, Russia was devastated, Asia was devastated and America had a great big industrial force. For the next 40 plus years, we owned the world. A couple of things happened. Firstly, we got greedy and then we got lazy. The final step was cannibalism, an everyman for himself attitude from those who had inside information. That is where we are now, the rats are leaving the ship and stealing everything they can. Why would the richest people amongst us rig markets and risk their future? The last thing an attorney or doctor will do is risk their license because that means they can never make another dollar in their field. The insiders are betting on a big bust.
There is a theory in Political Science, I have mentioned it once or twice before. The belief is that revolutions do not occur when things are horrible, the occur when things were getting better for a long time and then suddenly dropped. People don't like having their dreams dashed, they don't knowing that the odds of their succeeding have just dropped after they have invested so much in their choices. Broken promises are worse than no promises. The only solution is to get people to gradually accept that they will have a lower standard of living. That is what has been going on since at least 1999 and we are there. Your kids do not think they will all have a house in the suburbs and the affluence that you I thought was possible. They already believe there are only rich and poor, that is why we have so much publicity about the rich. Same thing happened during the depression, the most popular films were about the well to do.
The greatest investor in history, Mr. Warren Buffet, predicted exactly what I have described. You can read his letters to the investor's online. Mr. Buffet stated that he saw the way we were running our businesses leading to exactly what we are seeing. He specifically stated that he saw the future of America as a decline. He was also a financial adviser to both Bush and Obama. He advised Bush during the 2007-2008 financial crisis and Obama during his candidacy.
Here is the bottom line. What if Presidents listened to Warren Buffet and believed what he said was coming? What if you were President, knew something bad was coming and couldn't stop it from coming, what would you do? The general theory is that you mitigate or reduce the harm when you cannot obtain the good. What do you do when you only have choices that mean things will be worse, you seek to reduce the damage. The housing boom was intentional, that should be obvious. The consequences were expected and planned for. When Warren Buffet speaks, Wall Street listens and so does the government. When Warren Buffet makes statements that he expects the United States to cease being the number one economy in the world and to see a decline, the intelligence agencies listen and prepare contingency plans. That is how the game goes.
Here are some articles giving the stats and information that I used for the above.
CNN Money - Federal Reserve launches QE3
Slate - Time for QE3
CNBC - Fed Keeps Interest Rates Low, Continues Bond Buying Program.
CNBC - Fed officials could ignore ugly jobs report—for now. Read the article and see how what I am saying is true. The reporter points out that the unemployment figure is horrible and how the Fed might ignore it? Huh? At the same time that the writer is pointing out how there are no jobs they also point out that the unemployment figure is only 6.7 and dropped. Read the first paragraph, it says that December job creation was the worst in years and then says that unemployment dropped. Does that make any sense? Odds are you are going to see the January numbers show 300,000 plus people laid off and 50,000 jobs created while unemployment will spike as all the seasonal workers ask for it. These numbers will be offset by the number of people losing their unemployment benefits, it is just math.
In late January of this year, Bernanke will leave and a new head of the Federal Reserve will come in. That is the perfect time to change policies and blame the last guy for all the problems. Keep a watch on the markets and baloney news.
After the economic crash of 07-08, banks could not get enough liquid cash to make substantial loans. As a consequence, central banks (like the Federal Reserve) started printing more and more money and loaning it to banks at near 0%. The stated idea was that these banks that got the loans would then begin lending it out; but, they did not. Instead, the banks invested the money in high risk and high yield items and then kept the investment for themselves and did not pass these profits onto paying a higher interest rate on your savings. They didn't need your deposits because they were getting free money from the government.
After trying two different types of "quantitative easing", the Federal Reserve began what is known as QE3 which basically involved the Federal Reserve printing money (reducing the value of our currency so that it buys less for the same amount) and buying treasury bonds. When you really think about it, the Federal Reserve is buying real assets with phoney money. Just so you understand, your taxes have to pay off those treasury bonds that were bought with phoney money.
Well, when QE3 began, the Federal Reserve stated that it would continue buying the bonds until the unemployment rate dropped to 6.5%, at the time it was 8%. The stated belief was that as money freed up, the banks would lend it out and business would expand and create more jobs. None of this happened. Banks tightened up on lending and businesses kept their prophets in banks or paid them out in dividends. It should be apparent that more jobs have not been created. In fact, more jobs have been lost than created since these games began.
Here is where the real non-sense comes in. Once you stop receiving unemployment benefits, you stop showing as unemployed. The government does not judge unemployment based on how many people are working or on how many people are looking for jobs. The figure is based on people working and people receiving unemployment benefits. The number of people working is the lowest that it has been in decades and the number of people on unemployment was higher than it has been in decades.
People have been wondering when the Federal Reserve will stop buying these bonds. In fact when the Federal Reserve said they might start to buy fewer bonds, the stock market dropped. Wall Street loves cheap money and through a taper tantrum (not my term; but, one I like a lot). People like Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente and even Max Kaiser all said that the Fed would not begin to taper; but, they all missed the trick. You see, they thought the Federal Reserve was lying about tapering and never considered that unemployment would drop to 6.5% because they didn't see anyone creating jobs. Well, about one million people stopped receiving unemployment benefits this month with another few million to go off unemployment over the next months. That is the trick, Bernanke didn't think there would be more jobs and didn't say there needed to be, he said unemployment figures needed to drop and they have without any jobs really being added. This month unemployment dropped to 6.7%, the same month that a million people lost unemployment benefits without getting a job. It is a scam.
A couple of days ago the jobs information came out and Wall Street wasn't worried because very few jobs were created and we continued to lose others. They have concluded that the tapering will not begin. Nope, they missed it. Unemployment could fall to 6.5% as early as next month and then the taper will have to begin. The media is absolutely complicit in feeding everyone the lies. Why hasn't the financial reporting media pointed out that the Fed promised to stop QE3 when unemployment goes to 6.5% and that could happen any day. Instead the financial news talks about how the tapering could be a long time away and that the Federal Reserve is worried about how the stock market will respond. Now it gets even scarier.
Christmas time is the busiest time of year for retailers. They used to say that a retail store made 60% of all it's money for the year at Christmas time. They also hire more people beginning somewhere in October and lay them off in January. There is a very good chance that the January numbers will be released in February and show that hundreds of thousands of people were laid off in January and that will distort the unemployment figures again.
If I were really energetic I would make a spreadsheet showing how many people lost their jobs, how many people got new jobs and how many people received unemployment benefits for each month since QE3 began. I would then look at the increase as a percentage of total jobs were created and lost between October of each year and February of each year, this would give us a pretty good indication of how many jobs were related to Christmas time sales and were only really temporary in nature. This is absolutely the type of information that the government collects, I know, they used to collect it from me once a month. The Federal Bureau of Labor collects this information and used to contact me and who knows how many others once a month for it. What this information would tell you is when the unemployment figure will show as 6.5%. It will be in the next couple of months if not next month. Maybe this has something to do with why Congress did not extend the unemployment benefits?
Consider this scenario, if you see the following, know we have been cheated and lied to again. Next month, February or even March, the unemployment figure drops to 6.5%, the Federal Reserve immediately stops buying treasury bonds. Wall Street goes nuts and drops. The Republicans decide to go along and continue unemployment benefits for people that went without for the prior two months and the market recovers. The very special Darwinian aspect of this is that anyone who stopped getting unemployment benefits and isn't hitting the pavement immediately will be considered deserving of getting nothing in six months.
For those who have listened to Mr. Schiff and the like, that claimed that the taper will never happen. They did not understand what the promise was, 6.5% unemployment. Once unemployment hits 6.5%, the Federal Reserve will have no excuse for QE3, none.
Here is the real scam, the bottom line to what we have been seeing. The reality is that the United States will have fewer jobs and a smaller percentage of it's population employed in the future. Actually we are there now. This is on top of the fact that we have fewer kids than in the past. The number of adults over 18 that have jobs has dropped and will continue to drop, the real numbers, the numbers that reflect people able to be employed. We will decrease the number of people on unemployment and increase the number of people on welfare and food stamps.
Here is how this all began and ends. After World War II, America was the worlds superpower economically. Europe was devastated, Russia was devastated, Asia was devastated and America had a great big industrial force. For the next 40 plus years, we owned the world. A couple of things happened. Firstly, we got greedy and then we got lazy. The final step was cannibalism, an everyman for himself attitude from those who had inside information. That is where we are now, the rats are leaving the ship and stealing everything they can. Why would the richest people amongst us rig markets and risk their future? The last thing an attorney or doctor will do is risk their license because that means they can never make another dollar in their field. The insiders are betting on a big bust.

What Do You Know About Chemtrails?
Someone anonymously asked me to post on Chemtrails. I am not sure of how big an issue this is; but, have come across many articles and videos regarding it. Lets start with the basics. Jets produce contrails, these are vapor streams left behind them and usually go away after a short bit of time. There are those who believe that chemicals are being sprayed into the sky as part of an effort to effect the weather. The claim is that alumina, barium and other chemicals are being sprayed in the air. The government denies these things are occurring.
Now, I do not claim to have a deep understanding of the research on this matter and have not come to any conclusions on whether or not this is going on. Having said that, the government has sprayed chemicals from the air before. During the Reagan administration marijuana plants were sprayed with a chemical that caused people who smoked marijuana to become sick. This is not a question, it is a fact. I believe the chemical was called something like paraquat. During the 50s and 60s in St. Louis and other places the military was spraying the residents with zinc cadmium sulfide and radioactive elements. Both of these things have been well researched and reported in the mainstream media. RT - US military secretly sprayed radioactive particles in St. Louis and Texas.
I do not know if there is a mass program in place to spray chemicals in the air; but, I do know that the government has done such things in the past. Agent Orange comes to mind. For those who don't know, Agent Orange is a chemical that was sprayed in the jungles of Vietnam during the war to deforest areas so that the "enemy" could not hide. Here are a couple of videos that discuss the "chemtrail" issue.
I write a lot about financial misdeeds and corruption and some may view me as a "conspiracy theorist" because of that; but, lets face it, I was right and all the banks are not paying out billions of dollars in fines for having manipulated the financial markets out of the kindness of their hearts. While researching the financial misdeeds I have often read alternative media and as a consequence have come across many other alternative views on things that are going on in the world. The issue of chemtrails has come up more than once over the years; but, as it is not my area of expertise I have not posted anything about it. As one of my readers asked me to discuss the matter, I will attempt to give some information.
YouTube - Chemtrails - Fully Exposed.
YouTube - What in the World Are They Spraying? (Full Length). This is probably the most famous video regarding the issue.
YouTube - Debunked: KMIR6 Geoengineering the Skies (chemtrails)
I have watched both of these videos all the way through so that I can comment on them. The video,"What in the world are they spraying" I find to be sensationalistic. I was particularly disappointed by the end of the video where they chased down congressmen who were headed to other meetings and asked them if they supported geo-engineering without even making sure these people knew anything about it at all. Sorry; but, your congressmen do not know every bill or every issue and certainly won't get into any detailed discussion on a matter unless they have been briefed. Having said that, the debunkers do a fairly weak job themselves as they don't address the possibility.
YouTube - "Why in the World are They Spraying?" NEW Critically Acclaimed Documentary [HD FULL]. A follow up to the earlier video. I think it is better than the first one.
So, let me sum up this post. A reader asked me to discuss chemtrails and I have spent a few hours watching videos and reading articles on the issue. I have not drawn a conclusion on whether or not we are currently attempting to do ego-engineering on a mass scale. Here is what I do know, global warming is nonsense and there are a lot of people who have economic interests in promoting it. I know this to be a fact because I was there when a group of them met at a conference. I wrote about this a long time ago; but, not as it related to chemtrails. I had attended a conference regarding the federal stimulus program at a large conference center and there was another group there having a conference on how to make money off selling carbon credits. The people I saw were not scientists, they were young business people who saw an opportunity to make money off of trading carbon credits. It was not a bunch of environmentalist hippies, it was stock trading yuppies. I read through some of their stuff. What can I say, I am nosy.
Now lets consider this. If we could control the weather, would we? The answer is yes. The second question is if people could make money from betting against crops being successful, would they be willing to manipulate the rain so that those crops did not grow? The answer is yes and we have seen it in the past. Any market that can be manipulated to make a profit will be manipulated to make a profit. The last question is if this is occurring? Well, we know that cloud seeding occurs on a small scale. This is not news and it is not new, cloud seeding to get rain has been going on for decades. The final question then is whether or not governments are currently involved in spraying metals and chemicals into the sky through the use of chemtrails. I don't know that answer. I have watched the videos and haven't found the smoking gun for me. I would be against any such things; but, it just is not my area of knowledge and I don't know what is going on.
So whether you believe in Chemtrails or not, what you should know is that we would control the weather if we could and we have spent lots of time trying to see what we can do to control the weather. The question we are left with is whether or not we should. I am against genetically modifying people or plants or anything else. I don't think we should play with nature, it is very non-scientific. Look, if you believe in evolution then you believe that objects respond appropriately as a total system and that it works. That is the essence of the theory of evolution. To introduce non-natural objects into the environment is always dangerous because you have no way of knowing all of the consequences as we do not have complete understanding how things interact.
UPDATE:
Dear Anonymous,
I too have been on this planet over 50 years and do not recall seeing these types of trails until the last 10 years or so. Having said that, I do not feel I have sufficient information to know what is in the trails.
As a rule, I like to be able to use source documents or other sources that I feel confidence in when writing about things. I was asked to discuss the matter and chose what I believe to be the most popular video series on the subject.
I do read and watch alternative media; but, there are certain people that I avoid using as sources including David Icke, Alex Jones and Rense among others.
In regards to what are chemtrails, I don't have any independent information and fewer sources that I can independently corroborate. While I support others research into this matter, I don't believe I have spent the time necessary for me to make certain conclusions.
If these trails are due to an intent to cause some changes in the atmosphere, what is being used and why are unclear. I have read everything from depopulation (which I don't believe is the purpose) to weather modification to polluting the soil so that people will use GMO seeds. I have also not read who might be doing such thing on the worldwide scale that it is claimed.
One thing that has changed is the height at which commercial jets now fly. They fly much higher than they used to and now are capable of flying in areas that used to be reserved for military flights.
When I write about financial matters, I will link to and quote the IMF, Bank of England, FDIC and international publications from people involved directly in the decisions. I do this so that people can make decisions on their own. I spent over 4 hours going over materials yesterday before posting one video and while I am left with questions, I have seen or read a smoking gun answering who or why regarding this matter.
I would be happy to publish more information on this matter and if sent the links will provide them as appropriate.
When I openly publish names and publicly state that someone is a crook, as I did with Elliott Broidy, you should know I am not afraid of being sued and can back up everything I say. I spent years researching the public pension frauds going on. When I write about it I do not publish everything I believe, only what I can verify.
Why is this important? The internet has not changed the laws regarding libel or plagiarism. When I post a link, I attribute the publisher and link to the original article. I do not quote large parts of the article; but, summarize what the article said and link to it. I also do not make a single penny off of this blog. In the not too distant we will see more and more people have their sites closed for violating rules regarding libel, plagiarism and using their sites without saying that they are actually promoting sales without discussing their monetary interests in the sales. I don't do that.
In my post I mentioned agent orange and the spraying that was done in St. Louis and other places. These are things that I can verify and show what the government is willing to do. I can document them. I can write about MK Ultra and source document to the Church commission and the congressional record.
When looking at chemtrails I spent some time over at "The Black Vault" (which I highly recommend to anyone), it is one of the best sources on government documents and the owner is about the best there is in getting Freedom Of Information requests there is, I found nothing on chemtrails.
While Wikileaks releases 4 documents from the 1970s regarding cloud seeding, that is nothing new. We have been seeding clouds to get rain for decades and openly.
Here is what I would like to see. We have many people researching chemtrails, simple place to start is by looking at who sells the materials that would be needed in the quantities that are claimed. That really should not be that hard to check for someone who is a researcher in the field. We can show that the federal government has bought billions of rounds of bullets for the government, someone should be able to find out if there are massive amounts of alumina being purchased. The claim is that megatons of the stuff is being released into the sky so there will be purchase orders and contracts for the stuff.
I absolutely do not believe everything the government says. I also do not always assume the worst or that everything they say is lie either. When I wrote about the death of Pastor Daniels, I actually reviewed the published parts of the police report and the autopsy, I did not publish the diagrams as I thought they might upset her family; but, I read every word. When I wrote about the crime scene, I looked at actual pictures from google earth and read correspondence from people who had lived in the area.
When I post on this blog, I hold myself to a certain standard and as I have no editor, must be self-editing. In person I cuss a lot and I don't do that here. If I say I believe something to be the truth, I make sure I can back it up. If I say something is my opinion, I clearly identify it as such. Somethings I am willing to say I question and why.
Let us assume that someone or some organization is pumping tons and tons of aluminum in the sky. Constructively, it would like chaff that is used to confuse missiles aimed at military planes. That should show up on radar. In fact, if as much as is needed was being used, airports would be reporting massive disruptions to their radar and that is not occurring. It is possible something other than alumina is being released; but, we would to now what and why it is not picked up by radar.
In the video regarding what is being sprayed, there is a scene where a weatherman reports on chaff being released during a military practice, showed up pretty good on his radar and with hundreds of weatherman using radar, if this is as massive as claimed then it should show up or something is being used that has not been claimed by those concerned about chemtrails.
I am willing to look at and consider any issue; but, I have to read all sides and explanations before coming to hard conclusions. I have publicly called out Mr. Broidy and if he ever sued I don't think he would like answering my questions very much; but, he would have the opportunity. The same goes for the CIM Group, anytime any day because I have done my research before giving my opinion on them.
I consider this blog an opinion blog, I quote the research of others and ask what it really means. It is not a speculative blog except where I am discussing philosophy or religion.
The problem I have with the mainstream media is that they spend so little time on what really matters such as the financial crisis we are in and what they do say is usually skewed to whatever the official story is. The problem I have with much of the alternative media is that they report everything as a worst case scenario and provide sketchy backup.
There are some very disturbing things going on in the world. While most people will not be familiar with the Transhumanism movement, it is very real and very scary. Governments are actively combining the genes of humans with those of animals and admit it to some degree. I can prove what they are doing and why, I can link to their own documents and have and will continue to.
Chemtrails for me are a tougher one. Pick any reason you want for them putting things in the sky, it would pretty simple for the government to say they were having it done to reduce global warming. People might complain; but, most would go along. So why hide it? It would be easier just to come up with a good lie.
I was willing to write about this subject because a reader asked me to and it may have been you. How I write about it is on me and as I have not formed a firm opinion I want to read all the opinions and investigate them on my own before making opinion statements. I intentionally posted a video that questioned if there were chemtrails at all and I found the debunker equally uninformative.
As you are over 50 maybe you recall what we used to be taught. If you are going to write about something provide the who, what, when, where, why and how. In this case, we do not know the who, what, why or how. We know when and where trails appear from behind planes and that is about it. People speculate on why, who, when and how and they don't all agree, not even in the same video.
If I were doing investigative journalism regarding the matter, I would start by looking at the sales of alumina by every producer and see if there had been an increase in sales or production in the last decade. This would actually be pretty simple to do for someone who was funded to do such a thing. Te next step would be to see who bought it and what they claimed they were using it for. I haven't seen that information yet; but, remain open to it.
Now, I do not claim to have a deep understanding of the research on this matter and have not come to any conclusions on whether or not this is going on. Having said that, the government has sprayed chemicals from the air before. During the Reagan administration marijuana plants were sprayed with a chemical that caused people who smoked marijuana to become sick. This is not a question, it is a fact.

In regards to what are chemtrails, I don't have any independent information and fewer sources that I can independently corroborate. While I support others research into this matter, I don't believe I have spent the time necessary for me to make certain conclusions.
If these trails are due to an intent to cause some changes in the atmosphere, what is being used and why are unclear. I have read everything from depopulation (which I don't believe is the purpose) to weather modification to polluting the soil so that people will use GMO seeds. I have also not read who might be doing such thing on the worldwide scale that it is claimed.
One thing that has changed is the height at which commercial jets now fly. They fly much higher than they used to and now are capable of flying in areas that used to be reserved for military flights.
When I write about financial matters, I will link to and quote the IMF, Bank of England, FDIC and international publications from people involved directly in the decisions. I do this so that people can make decisions on their own. I spent over 4 hours going over materials yesterday before posting one video and while I am left with questions, I have seen or read a smoking gun answering who or why regarding this matter.
I would be happy to publish more information on this matter and if sent the links will provide them as appropriate.
When I openly publish names and publicly state that someone is a crook, as I did with Elliott Broidy, you should know I am not afraid of being sued and can back up everything I say. I spent years researching the public pension frauds going on. When I write about it I do not publish everything I believe, only what I can verify.
Why is this important? The internet has not changed the laws regarding libel or plagiarism. When I post a link, I attribute the publisher and link to the original article. I do not quote large parts of the article; but, summarize what the article said and link to it. I also do not make a single penny off of this blog. In the not too distant we will see more and more people have their sites closed for violating rules regarding libel, plagiarism and using their sites without saying that they are actually promoting sales without discussing their monetary interests in the sales. I don't do that.
In my post I mentioned agent orange and the spraying that was done in St. Louis and other places. These are things that I can verify and show what the government is willing to do. I can document them. I can write about MK Ultra and source document to the Church commission and the congressional record.
When looking at chemtrails I spent some time over at "The Black Vault" (which I highly recommend to anyone), it is one of the best sources on government documents and the owner is about the best there is in getting Freedom Of Information requests there is, I found nothing on chemtrails.
While Wikileaks releases 4 documents from the 1970s regarding cloud seeding, that is nothing new. We have been seeding clouds to get rain for decades and openly.
Here is what I would like to see. We have many people researching chemtrails, simple place to start is by looking at who sells the materials that would be needed in the quantities that are claimed. That really should not be that hard to check for someone who is a researcher in the field. We can show that the federal government has bought billions of rounds of bullets for the government, someone should be able to find out if there are massive amounts of alumina being purchased. The claim is that megatons of the stuff is being released into the sky so there will be purchase orders and contracts for the stuff.
I absolutely do not believe everything the government says. I also do not always assume the worst or that everything they say is lie either. When I wrote about the death of Pastor Daniels, I actually reviewed the published parts of the police report and the autopsy, I did not publish the diagrams as I thought they might upset her family; but, I read every word. When I wrote about the crime scene, I looked at actual pictures from google earth and read correspondence from people who had lived in the area.
When I post on this blog, I hold myself to a certain standard and as I have no editor, must be self-editing. In person I cuss a lot and I don't do that here. If I say I believe something to be the truth, I make sure I can back it up. If I say something is my opinion, I clearly identify it as such. Somethings I am willing to say I question and why.
Let us assume that someone or some organization is pumping tons and tons of aluminum in the sky. Constructively, it would like chaff that is used to confuse missiles aimed at military planes. That should show up on radar. In fact, if as much as is needed was being used, airports would be reporting massive disruptions to their radar and that is not occurring. It is possible something other than alumina is being released; but, we would to now what and why it is not picked up by radar.
In the video regarding what is being sprayed, there is a scene where a weatherman reports on chaff being released during a military practice, showed up pretty good on his radar and with hundreds of weatherman using radar, if this is as massive as claimed then it should show up or something is being used that has not been claimed by those concerned about chemtrails.
I am willing to look at and consider any issue; but, I have to read all sides and explanations before coming to hard conclusions. I have publicly called out Mr. Broidy and if he ever sued I don't think he would like answering my questions very much; but, he would have the opportunity. The same goes for the CIM Group, anytime any day because I have done my research before giving my opinion on them.
I consider this blog an opinion blog, I quote the research of others and ask what it really means. It is not a speculative blog except where I am discussing philosophy or religion.
The problem I have with the mainstream media is that they spend so little time on what really matters such as the financial crisis we are in and what they do say is usually skewed to whatever the official story is. The problem I have with much of the alternative media is that they report everything as a worst case scenario and provide sketchy backup.
There are some very disturbing things going on in the world. While most people will not be familiar with the Transhumanism movement, it is very real and very scary. Governments are actively combining the genes of humans with those of animals and admit it to some degree. I can prove what they are doing and why, I can link to their own documents and have and will continue to.
Chemtrails for me are a tougher one. Pick any reason you want for them putting things in the sky, it would pretty simple for the government to say they were having it done to reduce global warming. People might complain; but, most would go along. So why hide it? It would be easier just to come up with a good lie.
I was willing to write about this subject because a reader asked me to and it may have been you. How I write about it is on me and as I have not formed a firm opinion I want to read all the opinions and investigate them on my own before making opinion statements. I intentionally posted a video that questioned if there were chemtrails at all and I found the debunker equally uninformative.
As you are over 50 maybe you recall what we used to be taught. If you are going to write about something provide the who, what, when, where, why and how. In this case, we do not know the who, what, why or how. We know when and where trails appear from behind planes and that is about it. People speculate on why, who, when and how and they don't all agree, not even in the same video.
If I were doing investigative journalism regarding the matter, I would start by looking at the sales of alumina by every producer and see if there had been an increase in sales or production in the last decade. This would actually be pretty simple to do for someone who was funded to do such a thing. Te next step would be to see who bought it and what they claimed they were using it for. I haven't seen that information yet; but, remain open to it.
Something Esoteric, if you please.
In the bible it talks about knowing another and being known by another. To know and be known. Have you ever been known by another and can you even comprehend what that might entail or involve? What if you had to choose between the two? What if the ying and yang were not two answers but were two questions?
Would you rather go through eternity with only one other person ever knowing everything about you or never being fully known; but, knowing absolutely everything about one other person. And, being nice, assume that your soul mate was the other person. LOL.
You may have to read what I just wrote more than once to understand what I am actually asking. I understand that, more of a philosophical post than most. Let us dig a bit deeper. Imagine having another sentient being in the universe completely understand and accept you for your good points and flaws. That sounds pretty good doesn't it? As an alternative you could completely know everything about another; but, you would have to have only their best interests at heart, they would have to be more important to you than your own pleasures.

It is a new year and just keeps getting stranger
Detroit News - Associated Press - Israel reaches out to save U.S. Jewish community. Roughly half of the Jews in the world live in America and half live in Israel. The largest number of Jews in America either live in New York or Los Angeles. The article talks about how American Jews are becoming less religious and less supportive of Israeli policies towards their neighbors and the Palestinians. The real issue at stake is the future of American support for Israel and what happens when that support is gone.
ABC News - Feds May Require Cars to Talk to Each Other to Avoid Crashes
. What a surprise; but, I wrote how this would be required a long time ago. The news talks about it as if it is a possibility. What a lie. As I previously noted, the FCC has already claimed that they can control local right of ways and the FHWA now includes local right of ways as part of the national highway system. This will end up with you being required to have these cars that report their whereabouts to be on the national highway system.

A Reminder - The title of this blog
YOU MATTER. I MATTER. WE ALL MATTER, WE ARE HUMAN. Yeah, the worst thing I was ever told was that I did not matter. I do and so do you and nothing you are ever told changes that.

Happy New Year 2014
To all my dear readers and those who may visit this site, I do hope that you have a happy new year. I regret to say that I do not think this is going to be a good year for many. Starting today 1.3 million of your family, friends and neighbors are all losing their unemployment benefits. A couple million more people will lose their homes because some sneaky slime bags told them that they could afford more than they could. Somewhere around 40 or 50 million people will have less food this year because we are reducing food stamp benefits.
Lets worry less about what happens to us and more about what happens to all of us.
