When You Have 16.2 Trillion in Debt, What's a Billion Here or There?

We're going to give Bangladesh a billion....you know... because we are so flush with extra money and all. I am surprised that after we offered them a billion, they didn't counter with 3 billion.http://news.yahoo.com/u-offers-bangladesh-1-billion-aid-over-next-124245322.html

Just In Case You Needed Proof Of Who Runs The United States- Here Is Romney's Campaign Contributors, Owners, Bankers

Football Saturday- The Sucker Line- Geaux Saints

I am a huge New Orleans Saints' fan. Primarily because I lived there for a year and loved it. On fall Sundays, when the team was in town, church services only lasted 44 minutes. Then we were out the door enroute to the Superdome.

Last night, I saw that the spread on the Saints-49ers tilt was -3.5 Saints. That is the consummate sucker line.

Football bettors, wise guys, know there is no better bet than a home dog in the playoff season. That angle, taking +3.5 and the 49ers today, has made me a lot of money over the years. Unfortunately, because I am a Saints fan- I can't do it. I did find one guy willing to take -3.

Of course there is no money involved. That would be illegal.

I have the same dilemma in the Bronco-Patriot tilt. Double digit favorites only cover about 30% of the time. Thus the Patriots at home and 13.5 favorites against Denver are dogs to cover the spread. I don't have the same interest in this game that I do in the first one. However, I am going to be rooting for Tebow because I am sick of Tom Brady. Brady has everything. Hall of fame, gobs of money, good looks and intelligence, and Giselle whats-her-name. I'm so sick of Boy Wonder that I'm all about divine intervention. But I don't think God really cares about football. Having said that...

the Broncos are going to get their asses kicked. But, I will be watching early just in case...

If I absolutely had to wager here, and there was a day when I always had to wager, I would be playing home teams today. But since I don't have to bet...I will be rooting for the visitors.

My Gawd, Four More Anti-Fed Kooks

Listen to these kooks. How come none of us learned about the Fed in state run schools? Odd.

Goodbye Republic, I Hardly Knew Ye

I have a difficult choice to make this year or next.

Am I going to endure the police state that America is about to become or am I going to get the hell out while I still can? I have to accept the fact that this country cannot and will not get it's head screwed on in time. How bad will the trip down be? That's the 64,000 dollar question.

The old two party elite monopoly has it's boot on the throat of America. Elect one of the two elite choices given to you.

Highly intelligent people like Mr. Roberts know we are screwed. Why do highly credible people support a kook? Because they are smart enough to see through the bullshit and they know know who the bad guys are. America's last chance has no chance. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/01/14/americas-last-chance/

The media, the corporate kleptocracy including the bankers, will do anything they can to smear Ron Paul and convince Americans that he is a kook. They hate this man. The only thing they can find to smear him with is some ancient newsletters that are racist or perhaps his anti-war policies. Big deal. How many people aged 76, black or white, do I know that don't harbor some ill will about some other race? Truth be told- zero. Ron Paul is no more a racist than Barack Obama is. Yet Ron Paul has no win. Not only has the kleptocracy kept him on the outside, painted him a kook and a conspiracy believer, but they will never let this man reach the White House. In fact, I believe that if Paul received the nomination- he would be killed.

Some Indians believed that you could judge how great a man was by the number of enemies he had. By that yardstick, Paul is doing quite well.

I would like to leave you today with one last thought. Several years ago, a guy named Ross Perot ran for President. He was very rich but he was self made. I did not consider him elite until I read that he went to a private boarding school..Hmmm. He promised that if free trade agreements were signed, this country would implode and lose it's base of industrial workers. That in fact has happened. You don't hear much from Ross these days.

Paul has the same message Perot did. Only this time, the whole fucking Republic is at stake. It is that dire- it is that real.

And I'm not sure if I want to spend the last years of my life turning over all of my money and thus my freedom- to the new corporate banker governance.

AT THE CLOSE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin what type of government the Constitution was bringing into existence. Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

What The Elite Know

Yesterday I was doing my unconscious rounds of the dashboard when I stumbled onto Republican Mother's site.

I don't know who Republican Mother is. I will tell you this. I like her. A lot. In fact, I have never disagreed with a single thing she has written or commented on. She is razor sharp. So it was that I read this piece. http://therepublicanmother.blogspot.com/2012/01/history-its-your-birthright.html

She had embedded a video by John Taylor Gatto. Gatto is a retired NY educator, a free thinker, and anti-establishment.  Please do not forget that name. From about 3 PM yesterday until 1 AM, I did nothing but watch and listen to you tube videos of this man. I rinsed and repeated that same exercise this morning for another two hours. Why?

Because John Taylor Gatto solved one of the greatest riddles of my life. What makes the elite different from the rest of us? Why do they get access to the finest everything?

At the end of the day, it simply boils down to education. Of course. The elite must have had access to something I did not. I knew that inherently this must be true. I have observed the elite and their children throughout my life. If you are like me- the product of some shitty tax sponsored cattle training within the public school system- you have seen it as well. In fact, you have felt it. Had I lived my life immersed in some blue collar town- I would have received a lesser dose of elitism. As it stands, I received a very high and nearly fatal dose of elitism, living amongst the snobbery of Moonbat Valley.

There are three kinds of schools. I am offering a vague representation or opinion. This is my summary.

Lets suppose we are looking at a vertical tube or chart, like those used to illustrate accomplished goals on fund raising events. The bottom 10% of that tube is occupied by the people who drop out or simply can't function within any type of formal classroom. They are either financially constrained, emotionally or psychologically constrained, or perhaps even mentally handicapped. For whatever reason, they simply cannot function within our educational system. They drop out. Their classroom becomes the school of hard knocks. Life becomes on the job training.

The next 85% of that vertical tube is occupied by the vast majority of us. State run school educated kids. We are the cattle. The curriculum for us is designed to produce obedient workers. We are made to memorize idiotic things like the Table of Elements not because we will ever use it- but so that we can demonstrate that we are willing to follow directions and memorize some useless fucking chart that will have no further meaning in our lives. This gives the elite use able information. Will this person do as he is told? Will he comply with orders? Is he well disciplined? Did he complete high school and four years of college? The elite and those hiring you are not particularly interested in your GPA, your intelligence, or your abilities- so much as they are interested in making sure that you are capable and compliant. Obedient. You will be eligible for hire for reasons that don't have a damn thing to do with intelligence or ability. In fact, I think most business hierarchies are threatened by intelligent people.

The last 5%, or the top of our tube, is occupied by the elite. They receive an entirely different education than the cattle sent to the state run educational systems. They learn social graces. They learn who is important, how to behave, and how to gain access to important people. They learn things that are extremely useful to enriching their lives. They learn how to behave and act rationally. They learned about the arts and activities that other elite people engage in. They learn these things in private boarding schools where access is generally only granted to those able to afford it. The elite Darwinian evolution is maintained via this educational system.

The wheat is separated from the chaff. The elite are screened and given access to the world of the elite.

Do I believe this? With absolute certainty. I have witnessed it and felt it, time and time again. If I learned anything from the rich and elite in Moonbat Valley it was this. Do I particularly care? No not really. Materialism was never my gig. I simply do not covet wealth. But I do find it interesting.

I am going to embed the first of several Gatto videos I watched last night. He is very intelligent but dry. The quality of the video is poor, particularly the sound. However as you watch and evaluate this guy, you just know that what he says is intrinsically true. Very enlightening stuff.

Frankenstein Government, Fighting Inflation, Holds The Line On Subscription Prices at Rock Bottom Lows

It's a labor of love... that's for sure.

A couple of years ago, my girlfriend got into the habit of nagging me about writing every morning. This was before I was aware that women could sometimes nag. A lot. Eventually, I received the ultimatum. My laptop or her.

I think we all know how that turned out.

So after evaluating some old stuff I had written and then some new stuff- and then judging the quality of my work, it's obvious to me that I should just be thankful that anyone comes here at all.

With no pricing ability, no rewards, and no sex, (sans all that nagging) I realize that I should just be grateful that my readers don't ask me to send them a check in the comment section. Or direct me to some centralized tip jar.

It's all good. After the I.R.S. gives me my 300 million for turning in Jon Corzine, I'll make sure and give you loyal readers a slice. That's how I roll. Now if you'll forgive me I gotta go surf the web and find some more assholery to write about. FG
