3, 2, 1: Global Debt Meltdown

We are steamrolling toward a massive global debt meltdown, and at this point world leaders seem to be all out of solutions.  Over the last 30 years or so, the greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet has produced unprecedented prosperity in the western world.  But now that debt bubble is starting to burst and the bills are coming due.  Many believe that “ground zero” for the coming global debt meltdown will be in Europe.  Unlike the U.S. and Japan, the nations of the EU can’t just print more money to cover their debts.  Nations such as Greece, Portugal and Italy must repay their debts in euros, and those nations are rapidly getting to the point where their debts are going to overwhelm them.  Unfortunately, major banks all over Europe are very highly leveraged and are also very heavily invested in the sovereign debt of nations such as Greece, Portugal and Italy.  If even one EU nation defaults it will start tipping over financial dominoes.  If more than one EU nation defaults it could cause a cataclysmic wave of bank failures all over Europe.

OBAMA BUYING VOTES WITH TAXPAYER MONEY!

Can Obama Buy 2012?  By Basil Irwin, CoachIsRight.com

A good friend who also happens to be quite conservative recently wrote me repeating the commonly accepted leftist propaganda that “Americans don’t want the jobs illegals take.” In my opinion, Americans would be quite happy with a lot of those jobs were their wages not artificially depressed by an unlimited supply of illegal foreign labor. I could easily see a large number of currently unemployed American youngsters being quite happy to receive $20 an hour to work in the fields and packing houses, assuming they received no food stamps, no unlimited unemployment benefits, no welfare, no Section 8 housing, no free cell phones, and no “free” medical care. If they actually had to earn everything they spent, they would be quite....

OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING BY OBAMA AND DEMS GOT US HERE!

FED HAS BEEN LYING TO AMERICA

Dear Conservatives,

Did you know, during the financial crisis, the global banking elite ran up a tab of $1.2 trillion in bailouts with taxpayer money through the Federal Reserve System?

This figure is a subset of the $16 trillion in total I've previously written you about that the Fed loaned out during the height of the financial crisis.

Bloomberg News reports these numbers dwarf the public money used by the U.S. Treasury for the bailouts everyone knew about.

Bloomberg’s 9/11 Exclusion Spurs Outrage

 AUGUST 24, 2011

Religious leaders are calling on Mayor Michael Bloomberg to reverse course and offer clergy a role in the ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

Rudy Washington, a deputy mayor in former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s administration, said he’s outraged. Mr. Washington organized an interfaith ceremony at Yankee Stadium shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Welfarism: Your Tax Dollars Paying For Flat Screen TVs
Did you know that your tax dollars are paying for someone else to have an Xbox? That’s because poverty in America is not what any other country would consider poverty. In America, poverty simply means wanting something you don’t have and don’t feel like working for. People in America expect far more than they are willing to work for, and we are the ones paying for them. Talk to your friends or pay attention at the grocery store, countless stories exist of the “poor” living it up on your tax dollar by using food stamps to offset income. Some “poor” people will buy hundreds of dollars worth of DVDs and video games, and then pay for their groceries with food stamps.Read More

Wake Up America! 10 Very Obvious Reasons Why The Devastating U.S. Jobs Famine Is Going To Suck The Hope Right Out Of America

Do you have friends, neighbors and relatives that can’t find work?  Well, unfortunately the current U.S. jobs famine is about to get a whole lot worse.  Right now there are approximately 13.9 million unemployed Americans.  That does not count those that “are not looking for work”.  That does not count those that are working part-time jobs but that are desperate for full-time work.  The truth is that we need tens of millions more full-time jobs in order to give one to everyone that wants one.  Sadly, the long-term trends that have caused this mess continue to get worse.  Unless truly dramatic changes are made, the U.S. economy is going to continue to bleed jobs and that is going to suck the hope right out of this country.  It is time to wake up America!  It is not a big mystery why we don’t have enough jobs.  But sadly, very few of our leaders are talking about the real issues.

LEFT CARES LITTLE FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS

MA GOV DEVAL PATRICK IGNORES REAL VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
 

Leftist Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick continues to ignore the plights of Americans in his state whose lives ended or were traumatically ruined because of his and the Obama Administration’s lax policies on enforcing existing immigration law.

And Gov. Patrick’s failure to enforce the MANDATORY federal program is to blame for the recent death of 23 year-old college graduate Matthew Denice who was first ran over then backed over by Nicolas Guaman as he attempted to flee police.  Denice died and Guaman merely shrugged at the police after being arrested. Had Gov. Deval enforced Secure Communities, it’s likely Denice would still be alive as Guaman had been arrested in 2008 for assault, breaking and entering and resisting arrest.

However, Gov. Deval believes Massachusetts did the right thing by not handing Guaman over to immigration authorities and releasing him back into the streets three years ago.  Clearly, Gov. Deval like so many other vote-mongering politicians values re-election in the liberal state more than protecting the lives of Americans.

UNIONS WANT DUES NOT JOBS - NLRB AGREES WITH THEM!

Dear Conservatives,

Jobs, jobs, jobs. We hear it every day.

But the Obama Labor Board's outrageous attack on Boeing shows how little the union bosses and their political allies really care about jobs -- unless they can force workers to pay union dues or "fees."

In a recent interview with the Fox Business Network's Gerri Willis, I demonstrated that Right to Work laws help create jobs and spur investment -- like Boeing's decision to create thousands of new jobs in South Carolina.

“What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action.  The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. ... I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of knowledge and that through it one can work upon men, but it must be taken up into my life, and that is what I now recognize as the most important thing.”

LIBERALS EQUATE PATRIOTISM TO TERRORISM! WHERE DID THEIR COMMON-SENSE GO?

'Pride' vs. Patriotism 
By Matt Barber 
RightSideNews.com   

To the modern Democratic National Committee, the mainstream media and other "progressive" outfits such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the words "patriot" and "patriotism" have become synonymous with "right-wing extremism."

Exhibit A? Liberals' mouth-frothing hatred of the Tea Party and the constitutionalist principles for which it stands. Mark Potok, Huffington Post columnist and spokesweasel for the hard-left SPLC, sneeringly refers to the Tea Party as the "Patriot movement" and mendaciously warns that its supporters are "shot through with rich veins of radical ideas, conspiracy theories and racism."

This Is Really Pathetic

This is unsurprising, but also really pathetic. "Conservative" elites are unhappy with the Republican field. Bill Kristol pines for a smart guy.

Let me put this in perspective for you. The group of "smart" conservatives who were okay to let No Child Left Behind go through, who did little to oppose Medicare Part D, who advocated for TARP, and endorsed the idea of "big government" conservatives are unhappy that the only people running for President right now are actual conservatives.

Book Recommendation: The Woolsorter’s Plague by Chet Nagle

http://www.amazon.com/Woolsorters-Plague-Chet-Nagle/dp/0977810879/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314290095&sr=1-1

I was hooked up with Chet Nagle by a Marine buddy, via e-mail. Though we’ve ever met in person. I’ve enjoyed our electronic friendship. Nagle is the real deal, a former Naval Aviator and intel operative for the CIA, who knows his stuff. I greatly enjoyed his first thriller, The Iran Covenant, so I was looking forward to the release of his new book about a terrorist attack on Washington, DC. It more than lived up to my expectations—The Woolsorter’s Plague is an order of magnitude better. Nagle has a fine ear for dialog, which is a key to great novels. He has the connections to get the fine details right. I couldn’t turn out the lights when I got into the last few chapters of heart-pounding action. What made it so frightening was it’s plausibility. Nagle isn’t only entertaining readers—he is warning all of us. I think you’ll be glad you read this one.

Collective Bargains Should be Ratified Collectively

By Chuck Muth

August 25, 2011

Although the issue of collective bargaining for government workers has been white hot this year in states such as Wisconsin and Ohio, Nevada’s Legislature opted to do not much more than tinker around the edges on a couple of matters relating to health and retirement benefits for future state employees. 

Hardly hardball.

It should be noted that Nevada’s government employees do not enjoy collective bargaining privileges (not “rights”) the way the teachers union and public employees at the local level do; nor should they.  Even the Democrats’ “god of liberalism,” Franklin D. Roosevelt, opposed collective bargaining for civil servants.

If you are one of those who believe that America will be rescued by changing the occupant of the White House, or by the election of members of the Republican Party, that America will somehow be rescued if we can get some “conservative” judges appointed, or a return to The Constitution, I assure you that your efforts will be in vain......

In a case that legal experts say defies logic and common sense, in order to ensure that low-income minorities get taxpayer-subsidized housing, Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a nationwide discrimination probe that, ironically, is focusing on an area where the overwhelming number of public housing residents are Latino and black. The investigations are being conducted by the DOJ’s bloated civil rights division, which is headed by renowned illegal immigration advocate Thomas Perez.....

THE DOLLAR GROWS WEAKER AS OBAMA, BERNANKE AND GEITHNER CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTIVE WAYS

Submitted by: Donald Hank

The gist:

The Fed's creation of money with QE 1 and 2 was predicted to result in inflation. Indeed there has been galloping inflation. However, since the Fed was keeping that new money in reserve, the inflation was probably not linked directly to that money printing binge, because this new money was not lent out by commercial banks. It just stayed put.

However, author Robert Murphy (see below) is saying that this newly printed money will be lent by the banks, and at that point, there is a real risk of inflation -- for the same reason as there was inflation in the Weimar Republic, when people took their salaries to the bank in wheelbarrows. That untenable situation led to the Third Reich.

Some fear is not unwarranted.

On the Brink of Inflationary Disaster
by Robert P. Murphy on August 25, 2011

Ever since Ben Bernanke began his massive infusions of money into the financial system, many analysts (including me) have been worried about the severe weakening of the dollar if and when the fractional-reserve-banking system magnified the initial injections severalfold.

Although the trend could reverse, data from the past two months suggest that the inflationary big one may be upon us.
