Economic forecast follow-up... again

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, July 23, 2009 2:29:16 PM
UPDATE** (especially for Donnie) - yup - housing starts SOARED 11% - so obviously - we're getting all better, right? Hmm.. check this out:
 
While Washington reports a soar in housing starts, from the other side of America, I report this: privately owned housing unit building permits were 8.7% up in June from May, 2009 - but 52% lower than June 2008. Privately owned housing starts in June were up 3.6% above May (this is that 11.3% referred to by Washington), but are 46% BELOW June 2008. Housing completions were 4% below the May, 2009 numbers, and 27.7% below the June numbers. But, the single-family housing completions were 8.9% above May's figures!! Although... in buildings with five or more units (you know - apartments, townhomes, etc.), were more than half that number.
 
Just remember - "privately owned housing rates," = single family dwelling all by itself. Single family housing rates = apartment. And, don't forget, with the bottom falling out on the housing market, and the interest rates cheaper - "why" those people who have the funds to do so are building new homes!! (Do I really, REALLY have to explain this? Please say no...). And, don't forget why people are moving out of their "privately," owned homes into townhouses/apartments - because they're broke! And, no, I'm sorry to report, that Government Motors.. erm, um, I mean, GM & Chrysler are not doing too well. The cash for clunkers program? Well, check this out:
 
"Cash for clunkers will end Nov. 1 or when the $1 billion in subsidies expire, whichever occurs first. Congress must decide later this year whether to approve legislation extending it into 2010."
 
Want a little feedback on what that really means? AAA reports that as of 2008, there are 230 - 250 million cars on the American roadways. Let's see, at $4,500 a piece (oops.. reread that statement.. as MUCH as $4500 a piece... hmmm...), that's about $1.125 trillion dollars. Or.. about 8.8 x 10 to the negative fourth PERCENT of the total cost for everyone to trade in their cars. (yes... less than 1%). So.. till November 1st or when the $1 billion runs out. Sounds like a push... sounds like someone trying to "force," people into cars without reading all the writing. Wait.. wait a second... hold on? Isn't that what Obama's doing with the... you know.. Health Care bill? Wow... guess what!? He knows how to just get things into place without giving people a chance to see what he's really doing!! So - I suppose there'a a GOOD reason that the "cash for clunkers," program, is NOT stimulating American consumer confidence....
 
And, yes, unemployment rates continue to remain DRAMATICALLY low - but - what does that mean? How long has the Bureau of Labor Statistics been recording job rates vs. unemployment rates? Well, in 1935, of course, in RESPONSE, to the Great Depression. That means, BOLI, has about 74 years of statistics - although - we can probably imagine, those first ten to twenty years were absolute turmoil and we don't "really," know. That, of course, doesn't account for the fact that not every State jumped on board immediately - and - oh yeah - unemployment statistics only account for those CLAIMING it - not those whose claims have expired! And, finally, if you've read the EIA's statistics on gas prices, you'd see that since 2007, the prices skyrocketed, then magically plummeted in November of 2008! Well, thank goodness that Obama paved the way for people to drive once more, raising the supply and demand curve! Of course, we shouldn't forget that gas prices are set by analysts "predicting the future!" Yes, that's right - 'analysts,' who have a crystal ball, set the prices for gasoline in response to what's going on. Seeing that America didn't explode, they decided in November - that 'oops,' maybe we went too far. They fell for the Obamamania that struck America. Funny though - gas prices seem to be rising dramatically again? Wouldn't that be in response to the Obamamania going on right now? Of course.. if you look at a much more "thourough," chart,  maybe you too, will decide - this "media," trend of forecasting that everything's getting all better, really is STUPID.
 
Thanks to Donnie for the hilarious input! Yes - we're all better now. Obama's saved us. OPEC is gaining an iron hold on the economy, prices in gas are being driven up, people are refinancing and buying what they can while it's cheap, the wealthy are investing in apartment complexes, planning on families having to give up their homes and unemployment benefits are running out for everyone! Yes!! Things are getting SO much better, SO fast it makes your head spin! Wheee...... (<---that's the political rollercoaster known as "government," and unfortunately for him, Obama's at the front and the Democrats are in tow. But, just like a rollercoaster, don't forget - in the Amusement Park of politics - the one you get on - is the one you stay on - there are no 'alternate,' routes - and you drag the whole of America along with you!!)!
 
Good Luck!
=========================
Original Article below:
=========================
 Well, the media's done it again! Home Mortgage applications are up! That's EVIDENCE that the economy is turning around and people are ready to start buying homes again.
 
Of course... analysts "do" tend to admit, that more than 90% of those mortgage applications are actually refinance applications being done while the interests rates are down. Sort of, takes away the glamour of that whole "economy turning around," thing.. .doesn't it?
 
Maybe it's just me, or that remaining 10% may have something to do with the fact that homes in foreclosure are being sold for a fraction of what they cost - like many here in this area where homes that 'were' $300k and up, can be purchased for as low as $80k? I don't know about you.. I'm just thinking out loud, here! :)
 
Thanks media - you've done it again. Just more evidence of foot in mouth disease. Didn't they recently announce there may be a cure for the swine flu? Maybe they'll work on the "falsely interpreting economic signals and announcing them out of turn, misrepresenting what's really going on," epidemic, next?
 
It's fun to dream....

How not to read an economic forecast, racism and more...

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:13:37 PM
It is customary for our News media to report things that are, well, just not "entirely" accurate (the nicest way I can possibly say that). Many people don't know that the word: NEWS, came from: North, East, West, and South. News was originally intended to bring the facts of events that happened from around the area, via the voice of the people, to the various towns. Obviously, long before television, radio and newspapers. However, as times change, governments grow corrupt and take over what the news can and cannot report, and provide ever-increasing, false information to the news media to illicit specific reactions from the people - we [the listeners] - are no longer given the "facts," but are subject to the infamous, low standards of yellow journalism. Let's examine some headlines from this morning (and I'll relate what I can back to my previous posts where applicable to help validate that I am trying desperately hard to present all issues in an unbiased light):
 
"In Oregon, and on ABC News radio, it was reported that jobless rates are declining. There was a significant decline in the number of reported first time unemployment seekers. Likewise, the economy is showing signs of improving as retail businesses are showing higher than expected first quarter earnings." -
 
Now - for those of you that let these so-called, 'headlines,' skip by you with little to no care as to their contents, let me first say: that is a HUGE mistake. You let this information in one ear - it does not really come out the other, I'm afraid. The truth is, it sits in your brain, it gets processed, and whether or not it's on the back-burner of your daily thoughts, it exists and has affected you. The reason: in difficult economic times, in fact of hard-driven 'fears,' the idea of relief (especially if you're currently employed and would believe that lower reports of first time filers is somehow significant for you), is of great impact to you, even if only unconsciously. But, let's re-examine the situation: tens of thousands of small businesses have closed in the past year due to the economy consistently declining. That means, those people who worked there, are already laid off. Multitudes of corporations (again, in the tens of thousands), have condensed their operations, laying of millions of workers. There are only 185 million, working adults in America as of the last Census Bureau Report I read (which I believe was 2007). That number has dropped by a very large, significant portion.
 
What does that mean? Well, let's look at the second half of ABC's economic forecast: "The economy is looking up because retail businesses are reporting a higher-than usual, first quarter profit."
 
Oh really? You mean that, for example, Walmart (now Chinese owned), with its thousands of stores, no longer has to compete with more than 100 THOUSAND businesses in the industry of retail clothing alone (and as it's a multi-product store/mega-store, this carries over into every other facet of their operations), has condensed its operations and cut a huge portion of expenses from its usual overhead, and is reporting a "higher than expected/normal," first quarter earnings? Well, NO DUHH!!! Bad economy or no - that's a GIVEN. Walmart has lower prices, and their reports don't count for just one store, they count for THOUSANDS of stores - so naturally, they reflect a higher profit margin. Does that mean the economy's doing better? NO! Maybe, IF - and I STRESS: IF - the economy's doing better, it isn't because megastores are reporting high earnings. It isn't because car dealerships are reporting higher car sales - when the reason for Toyota having higher car sales is because GM cut out THOUSANDS of its dealers!! And, most certainly, the number of reported, first time unemployment seekers has NOT declined because less businesses are going out of business or losing - it's because THEY'RE GONE!!
 
C'mon, people! I like good news far more than bad, just as much as anyone else (okay, well, a LOT more than most people since it seems that today's "sheeple," look for bad news). But, I also DON'T like being mislead. And,  I cannot and will not believe that the "economic," forecasters, the so-called, 'experts,' don't know this information. I believe the unemployment department isn't reporting information as accurately as they "should." In fact, as the last bout of unemployment offerings came to an end about two months ago, in Oregon, it was suddenly reported that there were less people claiming unemployment and that was a good sign. WHAT? NO IT IS NOT! There were less people, because those who've been unemployed for a year or longer are now without ANY source of income, are not reporting unemployment because it's run out, and are STILL unemployed, and now in a financially desperate situation!!
 
Look, I'm not saying to be gloom, doom and despair! But I'm also saying - DON'T lie! Lying will not help anyone. Icing the cake, if the cake is made of poo, will NOT make the cake any better - it's STILL poo!! DUHH!? And, what about this shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum? A shooting - of a 'black,' security guard, by a white supremicist (supposedly), took place during a 'shoot-out,' which this terrible, hate-monger started. Seems pretty, well - 'black and white,' - doesn't it? Hmm... maybe not so for those of us that recognized the underlying concern: it was the holocaust museum. For those of you who have never been to one (and there are SEVERAL - for some reason - around the country), I can assure you, it is a reminder about how bad "white" Americans are. Am I being racist? No, in fact, I'm exactly the opposite, since it's the museum that is racist. If it was purely about the holocaust victims in WWII, then that would be pretty straight forward and without question. Why should it raise a red flag? Because: THE HOLOCAUST VICTIMS WERE WHITE JEWS. How is it, that a "white supremicist," has a problem with, "white jews?"
 
So, once you read the story (from ABC as linked above), you find out that there are several, including a "man," that stated that the shooter, Von Brunn (of course, German...) was a "pressure cooker," waiting to explode, and had, "underlying anger issues," and another clarified that Von Brunn was just, "crazy." Yes, for those of you asking the right questions, these were NOT experts, NOT his friends and NOT even people acquainted with Von Brunn in any other way than a rare, maybe once-per-year, quick, "hello." Let me add something else for you: Von Brunn was 88 YEARS OLD - and apparently, they claim that the election of a "black" president spawned his anger. Really? You mean, that Von Brunn, who is old enough to actually have lived THROUGH the holocaust, who had his social security cut, is unable to survive, walked into a holocaust museum, where MILLIONS of dollars supporting the propogation of hatred of Germans and White Americans is blasted (and if you've been in there - and your brain works - you know - that it's not just a tribute to those who suffered - which even I would support - but a segregasit, left-wing sponsored, liberal place to hate white people), upset because he could no longer survive, was losing his home and everything he'd worked for since the newly elected President put STIMULUS money from OUR taxes into holocaust museums while the elderly suffer, and brought a gun?
 
Yes. Did he plan on killing people? Nope. In fact, had it been one of the "white" guards that was shot - ABC might not have even let this story take a lead page (sorry - but racism is rampant in today's media, too). Von Brunn committed the well-known act of: Death by Cop (or in this case, security guard). Think about it - 88 years old - and a security guard, if Von Brunn was raising cain, could not have detained him? Remember what the article says - the other "guards" - (as in more than one), returned fire. It was Von Brunn vs. the museum's security guards. One, little old man alone - upset that our government is causing us to fall into misery - was ready to die. But, now, the black security guard is a hero and Von Brunn's going to go down in history as just a "crazy" old man. ABC reported that onne person who didn't even KNOW Von Brunn at all, knew there was reason to be concerned when Von Brunn gave away his computer and website, because people who give away precious things are usually at the end of their rope.
 
Really? I mean, a computer? Sorry, didn't know that was, 'precious/' And, he gave his website, which was obviously driven by racism, to someone who took it down. He didn't care to keep up the fight (that he thought was right) anymore. That's not "precious," it's not an heirloom, and it's most certainly NOT an indicator that Von Brunn was ready to die. Everything else in the article - that is - the FACTS about what Von Brunn was losing under this new administration - ARE reasons to have believed he was ready to die. And, of course, it was reported that white, hate groups are on the rise, and that it's a tragedy when white people are pushed because they'll snap. You mean, like in the Watts Riots? Or, maybe the South Central riots? Or, perhaps the Taliban? Oh wait - NONE of those folks are white - so isn't it more like - when ANYONE is pushed, they snap? And, what was Von Brunn doing? Yeah - he was saying on his website that he felt the time for talk was over, it was time to take action. Didn't we have an issue with an oriental student (born in America - identifying him by race for clarity), posted on web sites and to news stations for months his intentions to shoot college students, and when people ignored him, he did? Is that to say they should have raided Von Brunn? Of course not - the FBI raid people because they download music and upset Corporate America, not because they care about a few human lives...
 
Of course, Von Brunn was misguided. What he thought was a Federally managed conspiracy of Jews controlling our monetary system and government for the purpose of destroying white people, actually has much stronger ties to the Illuminati.... Okay - NON debatable points aside - the money is controlled by the government. The current budget threatens the very fabric of our economy. As I had posted yesterday for me, a Supreme Court Justice with a well-known prejudice in favor of Hispanics is using the race-card to gain support for her appointment and the President of this Country used it for his election. Is there a problem? Yes. Misguided as Von Brunn may have been, skewed by years of hatred (which obviously leads to the dark side....), at least saw the forest, just not the trees through the forest. Heck, Von Brunn wanted to place the Federal Reserve Board under legal, NON VIOLENT (hmm... sort of.. contradictory.. isn't it?), arrest for treason against our people. He claims to have been punished for the posts he made (sounds familiar.. where have I heard that before.. oh yeah - every radio show host crying out against the Fairness Doctrine for being attacked against freedom of speech and even myself currently being a victim of the same attack),
 
Finally, the sadness of all of this. The security guard (and it doesn't MATTER what the color of his skin is), was a father and family man. Good, bad or indifferent, a child will suffer from this. The people are trying to rise to anarchy, they are trying to speak out against the abuses of our economy and social lives by the Government. But, they are arrested, thrown in jail and left with fear tactics as the force against them. They are frightened - and when a frightened person - no matter their beliefs, is cornered - there will be consequences. I feel for Mr. Von Brunn, who wanted to leave this world, and if he doesn't, will pay a very serious price for this by the government. I feel for the guard, who paid a price already for his choice to be in a position that leads by fear. And, I feel for the people who did nothing when they heard this story.

How the media drives us with lies - pt1

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, April 02, 2009 12:28:16 PM
Sure, I know what you're thinking - "Hey, I came here to learn about the truth of the government, not to hear conspiracy theories about the media!" But, what if.... I mean.... just - "what if" - a good portion of the government's lies and corruption include driving the media and leading us down the primrose path? Well, I mean - that's just insane - right? The media never lies. They never make mistakes. They're ALWAYS fair and balanced, aren't they?

Okay, fine, let's dispense with the idiotic mentality that we don't know that this is happening and get down to brass tacks, shall we? The commercial came on from the government sponsored 'protecting kids' campaign against 'online dangers.' Let me first repeat for you EXACTLY, ver batim, what the commercial states:

"You try to protect them. You want to keep them safe. You monitor what they watch. You set filters to control their content. But, are they really safe? ....... But, the truth is, you can't control your kids' exposure to sex, but you can control how they behave."

For those who MISSED it - let me point out the MAJOR areas of concern:

1. You - the parent, the role model, the guardian, the protector, the guidance counselor, the loved one, the creator, the provider - YOU - have NO control at all - YOU CAN NOT control YOUR CHILDS exposure to SEX because YOU can't stop the media - the ones broadcasting this commercial - from putting sex in front of them. YOU can't stop the abuse of the internet where idiots whose evolutionary basis for sex starts and stops at monkeys will post sex. YOU can't stop the kids at school from talking about it. YOU can't stop your own child's self-driven interest in it (aka their evolutionary development as you are NOT God).

2. But, you can control their behavior.

WHAT? Did I, um, miss something? Let me try this one on you: "Hey little Joey, I want you to say yes and no, sir and ma'am, thank you and please, never talk out of turn, always do your homework, do your chores, listen to every word I say, do as I say not as I do and behave...... But, what happens if they don't? Didn't the TV tell you that you could "control" their behavior? Oh, that's right - because the media is GOING to BLAST sex ALL OVER EVERY show they watch, every commercial they hear and do it so repeatedly that its effectiveness rivals hypnotherapy and subliminal messaging - you CAN'T control them. So, um, why... did the TV... tell me I could?

Because, in the face of Congressional laws coming out such as the "forced" community service, Congress wants to empower you to do as they say. You see - THEY CONTROL YOU. YOU - do not even control yourself. They DON'T need your vote. They DON'T need your approval. What they want - is your OBEDIENCE. But, you argue and say - "no, I'm NOT an idiot, I'm NOT your slave, this is a FREE country and I EXPECT the DEMOCRATIC process to allow me to put in my vote."

Now there's conflict. A resolution is needed. Congress says, "Well, we 'do' represent the desires of the people and we 'should' do what they want, but - naaaahhhhh - why do that? Let's scare them, weaken them, take away their power, screw with their heads - and when they're helpless - let's hit 'em below the belt!" You see, for those of you without children, let me 'splain.... no, wait, let me sum up (what movie? c'mon... you know which one 80's generation.. hahahaha):

We love our kids. We live in fear because we KNOW there are bad people out there, the police and court systems are inneffective and we don't want them hurt. Why? WE WENT THROUGH IT. The parents who are ignorant of what their kids are doing - didn't go through the hardships. WE KNOW. We do NOT want them to grow up. We want something DIFFERENT for them. We want a life of happiness and joy and one that doesn't involve strife and heartache. But, that's not always possible. We know that. And, we know that the media is just getting worse - and worse - and worse. I took my son to see a PG movie - and boy oh boy - what they get away with in PG movies is FAR more than I EVER wanted him to see. Learned my lesson.... And, what does the government do? They ENCOURAGE sex in media. The FCC throws a temper tantrum because Janet Jackson had a 'portion' of her COVERED boob pop out during the super bowl half-time because 'families' were watching - but.... it's okay to them that many of today's cartoons include kissing, sexual scenes, sexual jokes and the music videos that ALL the kids are watching include 'pimpin' the ho's' and the degraded value of idols such as Spears and Lohan.

Right, makes a TON of sense, right? I mean, why not let the SOURCES of the MAJORITY of children's media input include bare butts, skimpy outfits, pimped out sluts, superficial make-up jobs to attract sex, but SLAM down those FAMILY values because... oops... it happened at the Super Bowl in front of everyone? The answer's simple - mom and dad saw. They saw what the FCC was putting in front of their children. Anyone watching this season of South Park knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Only when mom and dad become aware does the FCC lay the SMACK down on anyone.

How the media drives us with lies - pt2

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, April 02, 2009 12:26:59 PM
 (continued on from "How the media drives us with lies - pt. 1) -
 
Let's examine this in some detail, shall we? Quiznos Subs - their commercial "Dave, put it in me," as the guy looks down at his crotch and says, "Nuh-uh, I burn." Um, maybe in ANY other context, I might have laughed. Sure, I've got the 13 year old mentality that finds fart and sex jokes funny - I'm a guy - EVERY guy (even those who pretend otherwise) - has this mentality by nature. But, it wasn't. Why? For two reasons -
1. IT IS A SUBWAY SANDWHICH COMMERCIAL BROADCAST ON CARTOON NETWORK - THIS is in front of OUR children??? Dammit! My son's not so stupid to have caught the theme of it. They weren't even subtle about it! Sex and subway sandwhiches... gosh.... sex hasn't PERMEATED EVERY SINGLE FACET of hollywood, has it? But - the truth is - not even that was what REALLY peeved me -
2. The OVEN WAS A DUDE. They did NOT use a female voice for the sticking in of the 'torpedo,' sub, into its REAR entry. For anyone who missed it - go look it up yourself, 'cause I'm not gonna encourage it.
 
Is that to say that the subtelty of the absolutely GAY reference was wrong because it was a 'gay' reference? No. In fact, I'm not even sure that the company advertising for Quiznos thought it through. Hell - they STARTED with DEAD hamsters, modifying an existing internet song for their advertising career. What I am peeved about, is that THIS is the VERY issue I FIRST started with - the MEDIA - the people BROADCASTING THIS COMMERCIAL - are the SAME ONES - that told us we 'love our children, and because we do, if we WANT to be GOOD parents, we'll try to keep them away from sexual themes - but..... too bad, we can't.' And, why not? BECAUSE HERE IT IS - on the VERY channel my son watches, right in front of him. Not only is the sexual theme blatant, but the subtle theme is grotesquely exaggerated.
 
Now, in contrast, I absolutely LOVE the Burger King mini-burger commercial because the idea of a horde of hot, playboy-type chicks crowding around me, giving me full attention is actually kind of - cool. Of course, because I'm NOT an idiot and I know that no matter HOW many times I unwrap those mini burgers, women aren't going to flood around me - I try to find the 'subtle' hint - since SEX is the NON-subtle hint. And, survey says: Even overweight, fast-food eating, can't hook up with playboy models because they're not rich and sexy guys can get the rich chicks - they just gotta do what the commercial says. So - what does that do for kids? It LOWERS their standards. And, what's the problem? (and I quote) "You can't control your kids' exposure to sex." Well, not only that - but I am now faced with their lowered standards of what's beautiful, what the easy road promises (but in truth can never produce), and I, the parent - become the liar. SO HOW IS IT I CAN "CONTROL" their behavior?
 
Well - next comes the 'Osbournes' variety hour. No, that's not going to be the full representation of the degraded mentality and unevolved state of humanity, is it? Then what else? Another reality show that relies on the completely 'unrealistic' to survive? Bill Cosby's show in the 80's is considered one of the defining elements of the current troubled condition of the America Family based on media input:
 
The quick fix doesn't work.
 
Mom and dad fight, and in 30 minutes, are they back, kissing and everything is okay? Nope. Billy gets in trouble in school and in 30 minutes is it fixed? Nope. Hell - even today on shows like 'House' (albeit I LOVE that show and will otherwise speak no wrong of it): the people who lived in a way that screwed themselves up, at the end of 1 hour - everything's better. Can the kid's go out, get pregnant and do the same? Nope. Media REALLY took us away from the point of morality. And how, why? Here's something I LOVE - HULU!! I give these guys MAJOR props.
 
What do they offer? Cerebral, gelatinisizing shows.
Can you control them? Nahh... what are you gonna do, shut off your TV AND your computer?
What is their goal? An evil plot to destroy the world.
 
That's it. THAT'S IT! Right there - in black and white. It's not Quiznos or BK's openly sexual content that tries not to say the word, "sex," - it ACTUALLY says what they want. TV rots your brain. TV over the Internet rots your brain. And, what would be the eventual goal? World destruction. Simple. To the point. Heck, if our Government was THIS honest - we'd at least ALL be in a better place!! If we were this honest with ourselves - we'd be in a better place. "Hey, I'd say it's nice to see you today, Bill, but that would just be some empty form of flattery based on socially accepted norms, when in fact, I actually hate the way you treat your family, think your arrogant and stuck up and wish I never saw you."
 
But, will we do that? Nope. Why? FEAR. Yes, I actually sit up at night and wonder if Hulu IS really made up of aliens destroying us. Why? Because - that is WHAT they are broadcasting BECAUSE they KNOW we are SO far down the rabbit hole that we can no longer distinguish reality from fiction. We are the sheep that went to the other side, realized the grass WASN'T greener, and are now wandering around aimlessly. We are a greedy, selfish, "thing"-driven population. We DON'T want the truth. If it's given to us, we REJECT it. And, the point of ALL of this?
 
The government knows this. They feed us what they want us to hear. Obama received 100,000 questions to answer on-line? C'mon - let's NOT be stupid. They filtered out 100 MILLION to only 100,000. And, the majority were about legalizing pot? Yeah - SURE they were. The MAJORITY were questioning his budget policies. And, what did he answer?
 
Four. Four out of 100,000 (out of 100 million). Four questions based on "how will you help lower my tuition?" That is CRAP. Sorry for the foul language - but the truth is - his 'people' chose questions about 'children' to gain public support. It was a media campaign to get the public to like him because 'he cares about the kiddies.'
 
Yeah - but he can't stop their exposure to sex, right? Nope - but he can tell you that you can control their behavior, right? Sure - so long as Congress has a SLEW of pre-determined bills sitting on their desks that they will pass, one at a time, slowly, that will place GREATER control on us. And, they KNOW better than to start with the adults. While the majority of America's made up of the gooey-mush brained television watchers, there are enough people (aka Glenn Beck) who will talk about the truth and raise Cain. So, let's do what the Nazi's did - go after the kids. The kids are easy targets. FORCE parents to believe they're in control - create a RIFT between the kids and the parents - and you have a nation of children willing to turn in their OWN parents to the Nazi regime...
 
Sound stupid? Maybe... in fact... I HOPE and PRAY that you're right and I'm wrong. Because, folks, it's happened before - and it WILL happen again.
That which is, was once before, and that which will come, already has been. Ecclesiastes.

Poking fun at the media

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, April 02, 2009 11:38:46
Yes, I know this is off topic of governmental conspiracies, and I apologize for that - but I couldn't resist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5rejhaYDOI
 
CNN Caption: Obama on Marijuana
 
and:
 
(where in the same speech Obama plans to) Smoke Out Terrorists
What does all this mean?
For a President who has so ADAMANTLY spoken against the legalization of marijuana, if left to himself and the media (and the fallacy of the American language), one *might* assert that Mr. Barrack Obama has a public relations issue that rivals George Bush Jr.
 
So.... the next time our so-called 'responsible' media people, (aka the liberals), rag consistently on Bush for his "mispronunciation" of the American language, they might want to consider Mr. Obama's "misuse" of the American language. Because, quite frankly, I'm not sure what's funnier - a President whose accent gave him trouble with the word 'nuclear,' or a President who is On Marijuana and smoking out terrorists.
 
Silly - yes. Worthwhile... maybe not. But, fun nonetheless!

The Fall Guy - Madoff not guilty?

Posted by CyberMom on Thursday, March 12, 2009 11:46:52
So, you've heard the news, the hype and the reactions... Bernard Madoff, an elderly man, has plead guilty to 11 counts of investment fraud that supposedly began in the 90's during a 'recession' time then. Of course, Madoff, a 70-year old man, is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison (although I'll digress on how stupid this is - you can read my other posts on the 'budget'). And, the money? Well... it's just GONE! Yup - BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars: *poof* up in smoke. Could Madoff have lessened his sentence, or perhaps gotten out of jail altogether? Sure could; all he had to do was lead them to the dough. What about accomplices? There's no way this man did all of this alone.
 
And, that's the interesting part.
 
For those of you who have already considered this, I commend you. For those of you who are about to be in for a shock (if anyone ever acually read any of these... hahahahaha), I have already warned you about the danger of TV brain - and this should be proof enough - for you. Madoff is taking a tremendous hit. He's too old to live super long in prison, has a family he loves dearly and may also never get to see them again. There's no 'bargaining' chip to get out of prison. In fact, had he 'shown them the money,' two major problems exist:
 
1. The government would have pocketed it all. End of story. Then, they would have gone after more. Of course, the responsible thing for our Government to do (the key word being: responsible, as in, something that Uncle Sam WON'T do), would have been to set up Bernie Madoff as the executor to a specialty fund, with all of that money in it, so he could respond to everyone who had lost their earnings and write out checks until everyone was paid back. That way, there would have been restitution for those who lost, and Madoff would have been the one to pay that restitution and be left with nothing. Harsh, but a LOT more sensible than US SPENDING money on him to sit in prison. Unfortunately, that's NOT why he's being quiet....
 
2. The second problem - and here it is, the 'conspiracy theory' for those of you who are argumentative - Bernie Madoff is a fall guy. He WAS NOT in this alone. At his level, his fraud involves top level, corporate executives, politicians and the like. C'mon - after this last "stimulus" spending that put BILLIONS into the pockets of corporate executives rather than fund operations - which was a DIRECT VIOLATION/ACT OF FRAUD by the individuals, was overlooked by our Government and shoved to the background by putting the attention on MORE stimulus spending. So, why is Madoff a fall guy? I'll tell you:
 
The man loves his family. He has children and grandchildren. I don't know if he has great grandchildren or not, but in this economy, with a government gung-ho on convincing the people there's a 'crisis' and gaining their support for law enforcement to go out there and start arresting everyone, all of the people involved with Madoff are scared. And, scared people resort to some pretty unscrupulous tactics. Sure, the FBI could offer Madoff immunity, but not his family (that's governmental 'logistics' for you). If your entire family - your brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, great grandchildren - INNOCENT - children, were in danger, what would you do? "You're on, I'm deeply sorry for what I did......." and accept a life rotting in prison. What's the scenario? Oddly enough - television - finally has its day! Just like in the movies, these guys walk into Madoff's office, toss down photographs of his family in front of him, maybe even visit his great granddaughter (or whomever... not totally familiar with his family.. sorry), his friends, somebody, and they let him talk to them through a telephone where he says, "If you hurt a hair on their head...." And, they respond, "You're in no position to bargain. You wanna see them alive, you just do as you're told...." And, on the other end of the phone we hear, "Grandpa, is that you, grandpa?" And, finally, Mr. Madoff says, "Fine, I'll do it, anything you say."
 
And, what happens at the FBI? "Mr. Madoff, just tell us who else is involved. Where's the money? We know you didn't and couldn't spend it all... just tell us, and we'll do our best to protect your family. Do they have them now? Are they in danger?" But, what if he answers? Police sirens that can be heard for DOZENS of blocks come blaring down the street, and the guys in the black clothes with the hoods on, take the tied up family members, put a gun to their head and the last words they hear are, "I guess gramps didn't love you enough to save your life... too worried about himself."
 
And the shot is fired.
 
What? You don't think that happened? Or... you don't think that COULD have happened? What if it were you?
 
A) You stole billions and you WANT to pay restitution, would you keep the money hidden and go to jail? How is THAT, restitution?
B) You stole billions and you WANT to keep the money, but are going to jail for the rest of your life and are hoping to secretly bribe your way out? Why didn't you leave the country and go into hiding in ADVANCE of all this?
 
Look at ALL the possible scenarios - shut down that DAMNABLE television, and read between the lines. Folks, it doesn't talk a person with even HALF a brain to figure this out. I've looked into Mr. Madoff's eyes, and although this sounds strange to many of you - I can assure you with my heart and soul - that man did not plead guilty because he was. He plead guilty to protect someone. He is covering up. No good reason to take a fall for the others who profitted... after all... if that were the case... he should have expected them to come to his aide OR take them down too (unfortunately, it's an unscrupulous world). Nope - that's NOT what happened. Mr. Madoff is hiding the money (most of which, is probably BACK in the hands of his partners except the amounts he has kept hidden for his family), hiding his partners and preventing the FBI from having a paper trail. And, now, it's all over the news for 2 reasons:
 
1. The FBI WANTS his partners to see this because they know, as long as he's on his way to prison, there's still a chance he'll break... and they want to scare the others into coming forward... especially his family (that's sort of how law enforcement works for you who haven't been exposed to it - they prey on the weak - sorry, but that's just how they roll), hoping to get more victims.
 
2. They want to infuriate the public so much that they create a panic, and can put the pressure onto Congress to pass some other bogus bill, based on NO facts, but scare tactics forced upon the people, in order to get more access to people's personal records and lives, in order 'prevent' future issues.
 
After all - that's what it's all coming down to, isn't it? Predictive punishments? Didn't I write last time that it's REALLY about the fact we're all guilty, we're all on conditional release, and by operating in this mindset, the authorities can act in 'advance' of crimes by having access to our lives, and SAVE us from OURSELVES by locking us up BEFORE we actually do any wrong.
 
Just think about it - okay? I'm not asking you to outright believe me because I have NO evidence. I am purely speculating based upon logic and reasoning... and rationalizing based upon my perceptions. That's ALL this is. But... think carefully.. for yourselves. Don't let the news media... who has OPENLY been lying to you and having to repeatedly apologize for it, tell you how to think. Even if it didn't go down remotely how I suggested in this article... something's not right and we're NOT getting the whole story - but in order to convince you otherwise - the news is playing audio feedback from investors who feel cheated and hurt including some calling Madoff a "maggot" who should crawl back under his rock and others saying that jail is worthless because "when the money runs out," how are they going to "feed their families?" These are EMOTIONAL drivers. These are NOT logic drivers. These are NOT facts. These are opinions meant to drive you emotionally. The question is - how will you respond? Will you continue to be lead like lambs to the slaughter as the news media and government have done for years, bringing you to where we are today? Or, will you finally stop following the wolf in sheep's clothing and stay close to the Shepard? God granted you free agency - free will - free choice. Why? To use it. The only thing separating us from our animalistic, primal instincts, is our ability to rationalize and choose. Animals act out of passion, killing, murdering, fighting to survive.
 
WE are not animals. We are a unique machine, created with a higher intelligence (although it's obvious by the State of the world that we rarely choose to use it), that is designed to distinguish us from all other life on this planet. How do YOU judge life on this planet? By who dominates? Then, I suppose the ANTS are heralded as the masters. By those who have treated it the best? Then certainly NOT humans. By those who have the mose innovation/technology? Then you should be looking to rare and endangered species such as tigers, who have overcome the 'technological' innovations of 'mankind', without our supposed 'higher' intelligence and without the so-called 'advantages' we have intellectually over them, to survive beyond us. But, if you judge life based upon those who have taken their natural born skills, given by GOD at birth.. NOT those empowered by mankind through life.. then perhaps, you SHOULD consider thinking for yourselves.
 
A change is coming. We all know it. We all feel it. We can ALL sense it. Is it 2012? Is it 2010? I don't know. But, it's coming. And, unlike the crap you hear on television and the internet, it's NOT the end of the world... but as written in the Bible, in Mayan prophecy, Hindu legends and almost EVERY other religion in the WORLD - it's the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT! And, we'll be given a choice on how it ends:
 
violently or peacefully
 
Through war and fighting where the stupid kill each other and the smart ones who head for the hills wait for it all to finish... or
 
Through an increase in our knowledge and love of one another, where we simply choose to think for ourselves.
 
There's no riding the fence this time, sorry. Gotta pick a side. And, I think the choice is pretty obvious.. or.. at least.. I hope it is. Is Madoff guilty? Maybe. But, there is MUCH more than we are being told.. and that should scare the CRAP out of us. To be lied to and deceived by our news media, by the authorities that we trust......... I wonder if the news and law enfocrcement are LESS or MORE guilty than Madoff? After all... he's guilty of deception, isn't he? But, that was with "money", (and as Timothy wrote: IS the root of all evil; so what else COULD you expect from it?). The news and the authorities are running deceptions with our very lives and trust in them to PROTECT us... and that, to me, is a FAR, far worse crime.
