Sometime later today, the FED is going to announce their latest trick. Quantitative Easing 3.0. This time around the Fed is going to announce a program to buy mid to long term treasuries. They call this "Operation Twist" because the FED has now begun to use code names.
Have you ever noticed how the government loves code names? I laughed my ass off when the government announced it's code name for Bin Laden. Geronimo. Allegedly, they use code names because somebody might intercept our cryptic messages and become confused about who Geronimo is. Well, except that the entire universe knew that we were hunting Bin Laden. I doubt those Islamic savages could have put all of that together. So I think these code names are kind of useful.
I don't like the name Operation Twist. So I am going to dub QE3- Operation Crazy Horse. I think this is a far more descriptive and accurate code name. Since the FED has no assets yet they loan trillions, anyone that believes this bullshit must be crazy. Show me the MONEY, Fed! You must also be crazy to think any of this is designed to help Americans. It is designed to help re-liquefy all of our insolvent banks who get to practice mark to fantasy accounting. In the end, all that this will lead to is more inflation, more price erosion. Higher gold.
You'll note that I have used the term conspiracy. Contrary to common Moonbat thinking, conspiracies can and do exist. Conspiracies are hatched and their goals executed daily. The great duopoly, Verizon and AT and T, is one of my favorite conspiracies. The FED and it's member banks, the great cartel, still maintain and occupy my highest slot. Let me stop there and show you this. On bloodshed and conspiracies. Gawd I love Carlin.
Now I am going to introduce the term, Nash Equilibrium to you. Here is the definition. To save time and get to the point, just read the second paragraph- Cliff notes style. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium
Bankers hate precious metals because they represent something of real value in limited supply. Sans alchemy, there is no way to counterfeit precious metals. So what you have to do if you are a banker, is try to find a way to minimize the role of real money- precious metals- and maximize the role of your worthless currency. In other words, you badmouth gold publicly- while privately you accumulate as much gold as humanly possible. Keep it secret or you will cause the price to rise. That's why the biggest holders of gold, worldwide, are central bankers! I would dearly love to see how much gold Bernanke personally owns. In fact, if Ron Paul would simply ask Bernanke how much gold he owns, I would tip over laughing.
The FED and the worldwide banking system is the greatest conspiracy ever created. Like the great duopolies, they have found Nash equilibrium. The FED is a cartel that conspires and practices price fixing as uniformly as OPEC does with oil. To get rid of the banker class I will refer you back to the Carlin clip. Or maybe my favorite Thomas Jefferson...quote. Maybe Carlin was Jefferson in a previous life.
The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots from time to time.

This Is Going To Hurt A Little Bit
A message from Thomas Jefferson. Two of them. Bear in mind that Jefferson was a stone cold genius, a polymath.
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Recently, I was doing a piece on the new NFL pat downs of patrons attending football games. I began to think about the scope of that and just how to fight it. I realized that there was no win. People will not fight something that they think was designed to help them. Even if they lose a little freedom in the process. This erosion of your freedom takes time. It starts small and gets bigger and bigger.
Never forget that for every action- there is an equal and opposite reaction. It is the yin and yang- the relativity of life. Anytime somebody proposes or takes an action, think about the opposite reaction that will be created.
That is precisely the problem with statists. It's not that their initial intentions are bad. It is that they do not consider the consequences of their actions. They are short sighted. They never consider the long term yang of their short term yin- solutions. Yang time is here.
One day, America is going to collectively wake up. That day will be the day when Americans find themselves completely bankrupt, slaves to a government that tells them what they can do. Fueled by greedy bankers that can never have too much. We are virtually socialist now. You don't own your property- the government does- through property taxation. You can't buy or sell anything without paying off the government. Health care is the perfect example. Those with insurance are paying the health care needs of those without.
People don't like talking about violence and blood shed. They think that somehow if they can avoid talking about it, it won't happen. They think that catering to their fear makes them reasonable. Like minded. The history of mankind on this planet is one of oppression. Those in power ultimately abuse that power...to the extent that there is a backlash and a revolt. People in power always think that they have the right and the advantage. The full force of existing law and the government. They do not relinquish their positions. Our government is no different. All three branches have become terribly distorted. Ugly renditions of what was originally intended.
I think the future is going to sting a little bit.

I Think Mike Royko Would Have Liked Blogging
the jig is up (simple past the jig was up)
- (US, idiomatic, dated) An expression used to mean "We have been caught out and have no defense", or if spoken to a person who's just been found out as the perpetrator of an offense, it means "You've been discovered."
Anyone could communicate. You didn't need to own a printing press or a radio or television station to utter an opinion. The information super highway. Finally.
When I was a kid, about the only way you could reach a large audience was to write syndicated columns like the one Mike Royko wrote in Chicago. I actually think I learned to hate politicians from reading Royko columns. I thank him often. Royko smoked and drank and you just knew he swore like a sailor. But heaven forbid, in those puritan days, not even the word hell could sneak into print. I loved Mike Royko. He reminded me of everyone I knew. The dude won a Pulitzer Prize and he didn't even have a degree. Back in those days, if you were good, nobody cared about credentials. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/730719.html
Today, an amazing thing is happening. People are educating themselves. They are reading and they are writing. They are doing research and they are communicating. People are beginning to uncover the fraud that is the FED. They are beginning to see that the duopoly that masquerades as a two party political system is a fraud. Places like ZeroHedge give readers, investors, and news junkies insight into a world that has never been talked about. The crooks pulling the levers. A forum where the sheep have a shot against the predatory practices of the government, the FED, and their corporate masters. Prior to the internet, adverse information- information that would have pissed off big corporate advertisers- would never have seen the light of day. Big advertisers would have threatened to pull their advertising the minute something didn't go their way.
My rules here are simple. I try to research everything and I try to be accurate. I want to pass on credible information. I write in a straight forward way. I use profanity when I want to. I think of profanity like I think of spice. I don't give a rat's ass what anyone might think about that and I reserve the right to change my own opinion. I will never advertise unless they come up with a way for me to select the advertisers. This is my blog and the last thing I want to see is an Obama banner or GM advertising some piece of garbage they are producing. I'll be damned if I ever let an advertiser threaten what I write or how I write it. Editorial control and it doesn't cost me a dime. How sweet is that?
Royko would have loved blogging. He could have written about anything and done so anonymously if he wanted to. The working stiff audience that he appealed to could have instantly communicated with him via a comment box or an email address. No interference, no editors, no bosses. I think Royko would have developed a tremendous following. He might not have gotten rich but I always had the feeling that he really didn't give a shit about money anyway. He just liked to write.
Today I am beginning to understand. We are united by this medium and this flow of information. For the first time ever, government and it's masters can no longer divide, conquer, and slaughter the sheep. The jig is up. The sheep have a fighting chance. We have a tool that levels the playing field and allows us to pass along vital information to each other. Yea, I think Mike would have liked this blogging thing. Those goons he wrote about, well, not so much.

Hate Can Be a Useful Tool *Updated* Ron Paul Can Win
Wow. My hero. The original anti statist, anti-moonbat.
“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.” – Ron Paul
Zero Hedge ran a really good piece today contrasting Ron Paul with the main character in Hemingway's, " The Old Man and the Sea." That book incidentally, is my mom's favorite read. She loved Hemingway and in some odd way, I find it weird that I spent 25 years in the valley he called home. I know precisely where his headstone is. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-old-man-and-sea-2011
Ron Paul won the California straw poll and would have won the Texas straw poll. But they cancelled it. Rick Perry did not want to get his ass kicked by a bunch of Texans that know another statist when they see one. Rick Perry is just one more incarnation of a self serving politician. http://www.dailypaul.com/179286/texas-straw-poll-cancelled-due-to-lack-of-interest The Tea Party cannot get any traction or credibility with me until they support the original, truth telling, anti-government candidate. That is Ron Paul. Until then...
The Tea Party may have started with pure intentions but it has already devolved into the same old government rhetoric. Personally, I think the movement is dead. If they thrust Perry up, I'll know it's business as usual.
The Duopoly, pronounced do- opoly, continues unabated.
It takes a lot of courage to support Paul. I have never, ever witnessed a man so marginalized and vilified in my life having done absolutely nothing wrong. No scandals, married forever, delivered 4000 babies, completely transparent. Tells the absolute truth when his entire audience is hoping for a lie. He is non delusional, 100% of the time. It's an absolute shame he will never be President. The entire banker, government status quo is scared shitless of this guy because he cannot be manipulated. A once in a lifetime politician. A government worker, like me, who hates government.
Oh well. I'll be dead when the place implodes. Good luck with that Rick Perry, Mitt Romney bullshit, my "conservative" friends. There is nothing wrong with hating government, in it's never ending status quo...spend us to hell mandate or....a true believer posits...

How Barack Obama Missed The Opportunity Of A Lifetime and Why You Can Now Safely Stick A Fork In Him
Over the weekend, I listened to Obama's big "jobs speech" again. I did this because I noticed something odd while listening to the two minute version. It was the tone and the inflection of how Obama delivered that speech. This is new.
I follow this guy like a virtual stalker. And as much as I hate to listen to him, I do. Obama is desperate and he is scared. He knows his place in the polls and Obama is incapable of doing anything to rescue himself. That's the problem when you are a spineless- ego maniac. You cannot remake yourself into the kind of man you need to be now. You have exposed who you are. You have no credibility. To make matters worse, the bankers don't need you anymore. They got away with their crimes. Corporate America doesn't have much use for Obama either- with guys like Steve Wynn saying he is bad for business. Business can't move forward until Obama is moved out of the way. Obama's regulations, taxes, and health care extortions have absolutely brought about a hiring freeze. Obama's latest ploy over the weekend- is proposing tax hikes and deficit cuts. More desperation.
Can you imagine for a moment what might have been, had Obama recognized the greatest opportunity of his lifetime? How different our country and this election might be? Most of us only dream of silver platter set ups like the one Obama received in 2008. Only a "banker bought and paid for man" or a self absorbed fool with his own agenda could have missed it. It was staring him in the face.
Imagine a banking crisis, so fraudulent and severe, that it has pitched the world into a liquidity crisis which continues to this very day. You have three choices. (1) Continue the policies of your very unpopular predecessor, TARP loans, stimulus, and bailouts. Ignore the fraudulent and criminal acts of tens of thousands of crooked mortgage originators, appraisers, purchasers, bankers, rating agencies, and Wall St. loan bundlers and resellers. (2) Do nothing (3) Let failed banks fail. Prosecute fraudulent activities up and down the mortgage fraud food chain. Set the credibility standard and announce to the U.S. and to the world that people will be held accountable and that we have a rule of law in this country. Rid ourselves of shoddy CEOs and too big to fail banks. Prosecute and put people like Angelo Mozilo in jail. Refuse to subsidize any business with taxpayer funds.
Ponder the power and credibility of Obama had he chosen that last option in 2008. People would have been proud of their President. There would have been restorative justice and confidence in America. In fact, had Obama done the right thing- back when he was given that golden opportunity- he could have done anything he wanted now. He would have had the support of millions of out of work people, displaced homeowners, the respect of the worldwide community who were also victimized. Virtually everyone knows the tremendous scale of corruption that existed. Perhaps the economy would not have turned around by now- but you know what? Everyone would have cut Obama some slack because he would have been doing the right thing. People can be tremendously forgiving as long as they think someone's heart is in the right place. They know there is a common sense approach and a logical sequence that must be employed. That sometimes you can't turn things around in a year or two. They would have given him another term.
Obama had the greatest opportunity EVER to right a serious wrong and bring real hope and change to a country that had been gutted. He might have gone down as a great one. Had he selected option (3) he could probably have played golf every day for the rest of his term. Relaxed and vacationed even more than he does. Waited to see who the GOP picks and then sent them packing in a landslide election. That is the kind of credibility and support Obama would have had if only he could have seen past his personal agenda and that giant ego of his. Do what was in the best interests of the country. Would it have taken personal courage? Of course. But it was no Cuban missile crisis.
Now Obama is relegated to making desperate speeches and pleas. Promising to do what he could have done months and years ago with taxes or the budget had he first established personal courage and credibility. As it stands, no one trusts him. His words are hollow rhetoric. On the good ship Obama, we will see a flurry of rats evacuating his ship. Indeed we have already seen that. That momentum will continue. Obama is done. He had his shot and he blew it. All the GOP needs to do is find someone, anyone, with an ounce of credibility and courage. Maybe they won't even need that- to get this job done. That's how confident I am that you can stick a fork in Obama.
The really odd thing, is that Obama just doesn't get it. Anyone trying to tell him the truth would have been sent packing. That's the problem when you have the biggest ego in the room. It may take him another 20 years (if ever) to figure out that the biggest problem Barack Obama has- is Barack Obama.

Boise Makes Top Ten Places to Retire
Hell, they didn't even mention our football team.
Boise, Idaho
Population: 205,600
% over 50: 30%
Median home price: $120,000
Top state income tax: 7.8% (*Social Security exempt)
Cost of living (as % of national median): 97%
If you're the type who can't survive without your symphony, art, and theater fix, you may have resigned yourself to staying in some pricey coastal burg during retirement. Take a look at Idaho's capital city instead.
Granted, Boise is no Manhattan. But its thriving cultural scene includes an opera company, a philharmonic orchestra, and a ballet. At Boise Art Museum, which focuses on contemporary American art, you'll see works by Ansel Adams and Chuck Close.
Catch shows at Boise State University's Morrison Center for the Performing Arts, which hosts not only classical events but also touring Broadway shows and such boomer draws as Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson. Or hit the annual Shakespeare Festival at the city's 770-seat outdoor amphitheater.
Residents also enjoy all the outdoor activities you might expect of a city that's flanked by mountains and bisected by a river full of fish — and that has a mild climate year round.
Another plus: Violent crime in Boise is little more than half the national average. That's a remarkable score for a city this size.

Where Are Ye Now... George Kaiser?
Amidst the flaming wreckage and criminal fraud that is Solyndra, I have googled the name George Kaiser several times. The latest and most comprehensive Solyndra expose' has been furnished by the National Review via Doug Ross here: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/277512/solyndra-fraud-andrew-c-mccarthy#.TnWUmxr_XhQ.twitter
Call me an odd duck, but I am one of those guys that gets a little pissed off when people are publicly dragging my good name through the mud.
Apparently the billionaire, George Kaiser, has found an emotional solution for all of that internet slander and contempt that is being shoveled his way. In fact, I cannot find one "no comment" from him anywhere. Not one statement telling us how Solyndra was actually a very viable company and placing the blame on some scientific process that they simply could not solve.
Actually, I haven't heard much about Solyndra from President Jabberjaw either.
Maybe President Obama is busy with all of that country running that he does, and perhaps Mr Kaiser is just too busy with all of that billionaire stuff he does..to stop and say something about how we are all jumping to conclusions and that in actuality...there is a very simple explanation for all of this Solyndra madness. Surely, our vaunted mainstream media will ask the proper questions.
In law school, when clients tell lawyers they have done something clearly fraudulent or criminal, prospective lawyers are trained to tell their clients to STFU. This is legalese for don't make any statements regarding the matter. In fact, the better attorneys advise, this helps us defend your deplorable actions later on and carve out some deal that involves a big fine. But no jail time.
The newest entry into Solyndra hell is Steve Spinner. One of those goverment employees at the Dept of Energy. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/la-na-solyndra-donor-20110917,0,1142974.story Steve it seems recused himself from Solyndra loan making because of his open support for President Obama.. how noble. I doubt that he had any influence over his subordinates' decisions. We have not heard from Mr. Spinner who is married to a lawyer...but I digress.
Here at Frankenstein Government, we are always more than willing to give the accused an opportunity to explain themselves- by polygraph if need be. Because we know how vicious and cruel life can be. Go ahead and send me an email George. You being a big philanthropist and all- you deserve some respect and an opportunity to tell us what really happened. We are all anxiously awaiting to hear from you.
