S 510

If you still are under the delusion that the United States is a free country read the legislation that was just passed called S 510. The bill basically kills small and organic farmers.

South Korea

We have a couple of readers from South Korea and I want to take this opportunity to wish them well during these times. My father fought in the Korean War and was decorated. Our prayers and thoughts are with South Korea at this time.

I personally do not expect a nuclear war over Korea. I believe Kim Jung's successor is attempting to prove that he is not afraid of America or South Korea as they transition leadership. Still, I am sure that it is very unnerving.

War is never inevitable, it can always be avoided if leaders want to. Sometimes leaders want war and others die. Let us hope that war is avoided.

Health Care? Maybe not.

An article discussing how congress is discussing eliminating the tax cut for employers who provide medical insurance to employees. You will be on Obamacare. Come on, didn't every reasonable person know that once government health care was provided then private health care would not be.

What a scam. The Dumbocrats vote for government provided health care. People are upset and vote for Ripoffpublicans and they eliminate privately provided health care and everyone is forced to use the government plan unless they are very rich.

As the world continues to spiral into insanity, the rich have some other things they are buying. Have you heard about "Freedom Ship"? It is a new boat being built that will stay at sea and therefore not be under any government. It will hold 100,000 people, all wealthy.

There has also been a rise in the sale of fallout shelters, high scale ones. LOL. In Russia they are building 5,000 just in Moscow. At the same time, in the United States, Homeland Security is moving supplies from central locations to regional locations.

My recommendation, chill out. Keep up on the news just for the sake of amusement. Be well.

Hello Sunday, Goodbye home.

I was sitting at my computer when someone knocked on the door. It was a man who wanted to hand me papers. I took the papers and called my loan processor and got the name of the person on the phone. I then gave the name to the person at my door.

It seems like I am starting in the middle of a story; but, not really. For the past year I have been unable to pay my mortgage. I was unable to because my wages were garnished in the divorce.

My old loan was processed by Citibank. In October I was notified that it was being sent to IBM Business Solutions. I knew something was going on. I had worked with Citi and listed my house for a short sale. In all that time no offers were made. I had mailed over 50 pages of paper to Citi.

The mortgage companies do not want to foreclose, they would rather renegotiate loans but they were not sure which ones to renegotiate. Nothing to renegotiate with me because of the divorce.

Please dear readers know that I am in no way upset by all of this. I am trying to let you know that now is the time where people will be forced to choose. The options are foreclosure or modified loan. We anticipated that something would happen this month, that is why the loan was transferred.

For a year Citibank didn't call, send much paper or in any way seem to want to foreclose. I found it odd. I have heard of people not paying their mortgage for a year and a half. IBM, I believe, was given the loans to be foreclosed on and they got mine.

December is going to be a tough month for a lot of people. Unemployment checks stop for two million people and the real foreclosures have begun. It is sort of freeing for me. I had wanted to sell the house before the divorce when the market was good.

I never imagined I would be relieved to be in foreclosure. I never imagined I would get divorced. Lots of things I never imagined. I am ready to move on. Be well and have a great day.

Death of small government

The City of Maywood is constructively gone. It is the beginning of a trend, a trend away from small cities. This article explains it fairly well.

In Ireland one hundred thousand people are protesting their governments "austerity" measures. Ireland is trading it's sovereignty for bailout money. I am Irish. Ireland had been the poorest European country for as long as anyone could remember. During the last 30 years it finally had some wealth and now it will return to being the poorest and lose it sovereignty.

We are seeing this consolidation in cities and nations. What do you think of it?

Wall Street Walloped by Insider Trading

Here is an article on the insider trading going on at Wall Street. Yet, here is an article from CNBC PROMOTING insider trading. What?

What you are seeing is people who have profited from the insider, old boy network (it includes women) trying to hold on. These people have no shame, none. Public and private pensions own the majority of traded stocks. Those pensions are controlled by the government. They are used to achieve political ends and those involved and well paid in order to keep their mouths shut.

The article says that the investigation was begun a year ago, hey, that's when Elliot Broidy began turning state evidence. Hmmmm. Just a thought.

News to follow

Lots of things going on at once. Firstly, the euro is in danger of collapsing. On the heals of this Russia and China announced they were going off the dollar. Now Russia is seeking to gain entry into the European Union. Never thought I would see that happen. Oh yeah and the US and EU are talking about building a missile shield over Europe. How do these things fit together?

In the game of international politics who is playing who and to what end is never completely clear. What is clear is that Russia is attempting to play both sides by setting agreements with China and the EU.

The United States is the last true superpower. Well we were. We are losing that. China will not replace us in that manner because they don't have the ability to extend themselves worldwide militarily and neither does Russia. Their fear is that we will use our military power to take over countries and control the material wealth, the minerals and oil. Like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The world is repositioning itself. New alliances are being forged for the future competition of economies. There are calls in England to break away from the EU and in Ireland. Imagine this scenario. Group one is England, Ireland, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Greenland and Iceland. Group two is the EU and Russia. Group three is China, Iran and India. These three groups would then be competing for influence over Africa and South America.

Nothing has been decided yet, that is clear. On top of this consider the fact that a failed Euro or failed dollar will constructively stop international trade. In order to have international trade there must be agreement on a trading device, a currency.

In Ireland, England and Greece new "austerity" measures are being implemented that will make the majority of their people live under third world conditions. It is coming here next. Actually it is here. Unemployment benefits are ending for millions of people and the foreclosure tsunami has just begun.

So how are Americans dealing with these issues, by ignoring them and going shopping. It's Black Friday and time to shop. Yeah.
