Come on! Who are they kidding? All the data was bad, and that ‘not bad as
expected dog don’t hunt anymore’!
europe:
the basket-case eu economy, with obfuscation taken directly out of
the fraudulent wall street playbook including fake stress tests, saw air
ball stock rally based on earnings data long ago discounted;
u.s.:
We already know they’re criminally insane on wall street! Yahoo: ‘…
The mood improved further still after the ISM Manufacturing Index for
July came in at 55.5. That may have marked a pullback from the 56.2
of June, but it exceeded the 54.2 that had been widely expected ...’
Oh, yeah … there’s also the higher oil prices, ever more worthless Weimar
dollar part of the rally, and so on!
1. HEAD & SHOULDERS ON THE S&P 500, DOW JONES, AND NASDAQ
The biggest warning sign the market seems to be giving us right now is the
blatant 10-month head & shoulders formation seen on each of the major indices.
Like in 2008, a massive head & shoulders of this magnitude is not something that
investors ought to take lightly. Millions chose to ignore this warning sign in 2008
at their peril. I’m not going to sit here and belabor the point as I’ve already written
extensively on this topic, which could be found here.Yet, to summarize, a head &
shoulders formation is arguably the most bearish technical formation in the
books. The time, breadth and size of this head & shoulders is exactly the same
as what we saw in early 2008 just before entering the biggest bear market in
modern history …
[chart]
2. BULLISH FLAG ON THE VIX?
Almost as important as the head & shoulders on every broad market index and
exchange is the huge bullish flag on the VIX, VXN and VXX (VXX). Volatility
looks like it's about to explode higher in the September to October time frame. A
convergence of the upper and lower trend lines appears to take place near the
end of August. This certainly does not bode well for the markets. An explosion of
volatility can only be viewed as conclusively negative for the markets. We can’t
have a massive spike in volatility without a coinciding collapse in the equity
markets …
[chart]
This topic has already been written about quite extensively over the past few
weeks. As you may or may not be aware, the 50-day moving average crossed
under the 200-day on the S&P 500 signaling that the March 2009 to April 2010
bull market might be at an end. When the 50 and 200 days cross in this manner,
it suggests that the overall trend has weakened to such a degree that the recent
price action is viewed as a topping process for the markets. We saw this exact
same bearish cross on the S&P 500 in early January 2008 right at the start of the
great bear market. You can read more about the death-cross here, here and here
…
Every down move in the market is done on massive volume, and every up move
on little to no volume. Each day of the February to April melt-up rally was easy to
predict. When volume tanks, the market rises and volume picks up, the market
tanks. What kind of no-conviction fraudulent market rallies on zero volume and
tanks on heavy volume? Even the July bounce to this correction was done on low
volume. Down days in July exhibited huge volume while up days saw declining
participation.
This lack of conviction in the equity markets is further evidenced by the
disconcertingly significant mutual fund outflows seen over the past year. Tyler
Durden notes in an article posted at Zero Hedge last week:
The latest update from ICI is a doozy: in the week ended July 21, domestic equity
mutual funds saw a 12th sequential outflow of $1.5 billion. Even as the market
has surged 10% in the last three weeks, just under $10 billion have been
redeemed from mutual funds, completely invalidating the move and further
justifying the skeptics who see absolutely no reflection to reality in the
volumeless ramp orchestrated by a few momentum HFTs and a couple of
Primary Dealers with some excess leftover Discount Window change. Not to
mention that 12 weeks in a row of outflows pretty much marks game over as far
as retail participation is concerned in stocks…

Marc Faber Questions if Dow Could Hit 1,000 In the August edition of the
‘The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’ Marc Faber questions whether the Dow
could hit 1,000 as predicted by Robert Prechter, based on his interpretation
of Elliot Waves, Fibonacci numbers and socioeconomic trends. Prechter,
who has written 13 books on finance (external link), believes that the stock
market is historically overvalued in terms of dividends and earnings,
because of a “great rise in positive social mood.” But the mood changed in
2000 and the “trend toward negative social mood will lead to an economic
contraction,” according to Prechter. “Small bear markets lead to
recessions, big bear markets lead to depressions. The current bear market
will be the biggest in nearly 300 years, so the depression will be
correspondingly deep,” Prechter said.

Flaws of the European Stress Test … 'Bank stress test' became the magic
phrase. Nothing calms fear like a stress test that's labeled as rigorous. The
stress test raises a few very obvious questions: 1) Will it work? 2) Why was
it needed in addition to a $1 trillion aid package? 3) Is the stress test just a
gimmick to appease investors? The stress test is conducted by the
London-based Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS).
Ironically, the test has ignored the majority of banks' holdings of sovereign
debt. Sovereign debt concerns by the so-called PIGS countries (Portugal,
Italy, Greece, and Spain) triggered the latest wave of financial problems.
Ignoring sovereign debt in the Euro stress test would be like ignoring toxic
real estate assets in the U.S. 10% Good - 90% Bad According to a Morgan
Stanley survey, European banks hold about 90% of their Greek government
bonds in their banking books and 10% in their trading books. The bonds in
the banking book are generally held until maturity, the bonds in the trading
book are traded more frequently. According to a document obtained by
Bloomberg, the stress test assumes a loss of 23.1% on Greek debt, 14% on
Portuguese bonds, 12.3% on Spanish debt, 4.7% on German debt, 10% on
U.K. debt, and 5.9% on French debt. However, the stress test only looks at
the bonds held in banks' trading books, which account for a mere 10% of
Greek bond holdings. Can that be called a stress test? Nouriel Roubini
says that 'the assumptions made about economic growth, about sovereign
risk are not realistic enough.' The fact that only seven banks failed the test
with a combined shortfall of $4.5 billion confirms the lax nature of the test.
… The U.S. Bank Stress Test - A Nice Façade A closer look under the hood
of the U.S. bank stress test, however, shows that there's not much
substance behind the facade either. It was determined that the 19 tested
U.S. banks need to increase their balance sheets by $75 billion to meet the
conditions of what's termed the 'worst case scenario.' To a large extent, the
$75 billion of additional capital was financially engineered. Banks didn't
have to actually raise $75 billion. They were able to change the label of
some of their assets on their balance sheets. The government supported
this practice via mandatory convertible preferred shares (detailed analysis
in May 2009 issue of the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter) …’

surprise at the bloated (municipal, state) high-priced bureaucracy
which of course is not productive except as to higher taxes and which
is at the forefront in the city of Bell where the city manager was paid
nearly 900,000 annually, and specifically mentioned the part-time
typical compensation of $100,000 and contracts to interested, even

US bank failures in 2010 surpass 100 WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. bank
failures this year have surpassed a bleak milestone of 100 as regulators

that of last year, which saw a total 140 bank shuttered amid the recession

ridiculous. I had occasion to hear from a so-called money manager on what
used to be a balanced business / finance radio program (I seldom listen to
said program anymore, truth be told, but owing to a scheduling quirk
caught same this day) say that all the economic / business news last week
was good. In point of fact, the actual news was all bad (except for some
sporadic earnings reports that were discounted many months ago). What
parallel universe are these foisty feisty frauds living in? Again, waning full
moon Then the infamous federal but not really federal, express in only a
month (with blazing full moon) changed downward guidance to upward
guidance and based on b*** s***, and voila … another full moon rally (oh
yeah, the percentage up from low level housing still low). Are the 30 day
lunar cycles at work or just election year frothing? Preposterous.
Fundamentals have not changed. Structural problems to the economy and
insurmountable debt remain and will worsen. All their computer
programmed trading tricks with eye towards so-called technical support,

their commissions on the way down, and we’ll see the bubble deflate again.
This Week in the Markets - Suttmeier ‘ …Bank Failure Friday – The FDIC
closed seven banks last Friday bringing the total for the month of July to
17 and 103 for the year. Month to date bank failures have drained the FDIC
Deposit Insurance fund by $925.7 million brining the year to date today to
$18.5 billion well above the $15.33 billion prepaid assessments for all of
2010. I estimate that the DIF is now in arrears by $32.7 billion.
• Only 25 banks failed in 2008, as the FDIC was slow closing
community and regional banks.
• There were 140 bank failures in 2009 with a peak of 50 in the third
quarter.
• In the first quarter of 2010 there were 41 failures, in the second
quarter there were 45 failures, and so far 17 for the third quarter for a
year to date total of 103.
• At this pace bank closures in 2010 will be within my 150 to 200
estimate range for 2010.
• Since the end of 2007, the FDIC has closed 267 banks on the way to
my predicted 500 to 800 by the end of 2012 into 2013 …’

China builds influence via cash (Washington Post) Well, cash is something
that accumulates when you don’t spend same on illegal wars (as is so
of defacto bankrupt america, ie., Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.); note
Germany, Japan, etc.. Then there’s the ‘hate’ factor attendant to the
‘killing machine strategy’ which contrary to their folly / imagination,
does not win hearts and minds. Then there’s the fraudulent paper
push which militates against real, net economic gains.
Finally, there’s the american ‘crazy train’ factor which has become ever
more globally recognized.
'Tony Hayward is about to get his life back' (Washington Post) In Siberia …
Yes, tiny tony of little people fame sent into exile in Siberia as one
might expect from the New Soviet Socialist European Union. Note
Russia’s Putin has jumped onto that crazy train and to curry favor
therein has ‘thrown Iran under the bus’, so to speak. But, then again,
what can you expect from a former KGB indoctrinated communist,
although america’s now mutated form of capitalism / free enterprise
(really not either) might yet resurrect the likes of marx, lenin, trotsky,
etc.. I’m somewhat embarrassed to have even considered going to
Europe (specifically Switzerland / Geneva) and though language the
impediment (I’m hard-wired for english and even with a prior
background in French, ie., junior high, high school, recent course-
work in French here in Cal did not come easily at all; although,
computerization / algorithms in English from inception did, which I
believe explains Japan’s difficulty with computers, ie., Sony vaio,
Toyota car computerized systems, etc.). Even meaningfully lawless
america’s better than Europe (a very low standard / threshold at that),
for all the reasons that gave rise to america, plus new reasons which
will prove insurmountable having become the ‘lapdog’ joke of the
ages as like lemmings they followed fraudulent wall street’s, america’s
lead blindly into the abyss.

weren’t true? ‘Director Oliver Stone has been forced to make a
grovelling apology over an anti-Semitic outburst. The double

many complicit within the corrupted 3 branches of u.s. government (fed

There must be such things as parallel universes (I don’t really believe that,
because there isn’t) or how else do you explain the disconnect
between reality, current and prospective, and the wet dreams posited
to keep the war funding / corporate welfare programs alive in
collectively what has already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not
counting prospective medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much
higher. Even israel apologist Cohen of The Washington Post alludes
to the Vietnam analogy. However, even if there were real goals beyond
the poppy / heroin trade which the Taliban had all but eradicated
(there isn’t); even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt (america is);
even if america wasn’t killing innocent civilians in large numbers (war
criminal nation america is); even if america’s allies haven’t similarly
helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they have); even if I

compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I
too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals
(recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the
stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate

A new front in racism battle (Washington Post) Truth be told, I’ve found
that all peoples are prejudiced / biased. Probably an adaptive

worst offenders despite their flaming rhetoric (there are numerous
other and even better examples but the following are news current):

Ron Paul: After ‘CIA coup,’ agency ‘runs military’ US House Rep. Ron Paul
says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US
government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.” I
also personally believe there has been a defacto coup d’etat which
has manifested in various substantial, blatant, brazened frauds, ie.,
wall street, missing 360 tons of $100 bills in Iraq, war profiteering, etc.,
without any fear of prosecution, and of course concomitant decline for
u.s. as the treasury is looted. But I also believe its scope is beyond
just the CIA with many complicit within the corrupted 3 branches of
u.s. government (fed judges, us attorneys, illegal system, etc.) plus
the military and private big money, ie., Goldman Sachs / wall street
men, etc., among other organized crime. america is defacto bankrupt
in every way!
There must be such things as parallel universes (I don’t really believe that,
because there isn’t) or how else do you explain the disconnect
between reality, current and prospective, and the wet dreams posited
to keep the war funding / corporate welfare programs alive in
collectively what has already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not
counting prospective medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much
higher. Even israel apologist Cohen of The Washington Post alludes
to the Vietnam analogy. However, even if there were real goals beyond
the poppy / heroin trade which the Taliban had all but eradicated
(there isn’t); even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt (america is);
even if america wasn’t killing innocent civilians in large numbers (war
criminal nation america is); even if america’s allies haven’t similarly
helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they have); even if I
hadn’t told you so (I did) ….. this war still was, is, and remains a very
bad idea!
How does anyone take the u.s. seriously in light of their credibility
problems, war crimes, etc.? What nuke technology israel didn’t steal
from the u.s., the u.s. gave them along with missile, armaments, etc..

bankrupt nation don’t have.
It's time to expel israel from the UN Without doubt, the israeli attack on the

power in Tel Aviv has been afflicted with a variant of mad cow
disease; otherwise, how could it be so cruel to unleash such a beastly
raid on the "Mavi Marmara," the Turkish flagship of a flotilla carrying
medical and humanitarian supplies to the hapless people of Gaza
Strip?
Billo Says:
Lunacy? Keep in mind that this country is run and controlled by lunatics.
Our press government and military seem to take their orders from Israel.
Isarel wants to be known as a pack of “mad dogs. Do we want “mad dogs”
controlling us?
Here we see a bunch of phony accusations against Iran just like we did in
the run up to the bogus wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. The
boy has cried wold ten thousand times. It’s time to identify the “lunatics”
and kindly take away the car keys. If you won’t let your friends drive drunk,
why do we let a bunch of “lunatic” enemies run this place.
Glen Reply:
But it is also to their great credit that the Iranians have not made their own
threats.
Everyone knows there are 3 WMD threats, Nuclear Biological and chemical.
The scariest of which is Biological.

deter only the insane.

"What this means is that Neanderthals are not totally extinct. In some of us,
they live on," Paabo … With regard to that extinction thing, I’d say
they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the
distinction, without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the
compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I
too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals
(recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the
stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate
continues as to whether they are within the species homo sapiens or a
separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without important
differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.
Parenthetically, I wonder what that anthropological scientist Heidi
Klum thinks on the subject.
Previously I wrote:

the many like it, are old news and I subscribe to the more studied view
that there is no “missing link” per se and in my view they are
distinctions without significant differences. I previously wrote:

A lost fight to keep selling Chryslers (Washington Post) I realize it’s easy

a big fan of Cal Worthington here in California based solely (and

Market Going Down With the Ship? Montgomery: ‘This morning the
Baltic Dry Index, a measure of freight rates for international shipping,
was at 1700. It hasn't been at this level since April 2009, only four
months after its Credit Crisis low and only one month after the stock
market was at its bottom. Bloomberg News noted a week ago that the
index had dropped continuously for the longest period in nine years.
Yes, the current drop in the preceding seven weeks (from a high of
4209 in late May) has been bigger than anything seen during the
Credit Crisis. The last drop of this magnitude was in August 2001 in
the middle of that year's recession. Lack of shipping activity from
China, the engine for global economic activity, was cited as the main
cause for the falling index. Charter rates for all types of ships tracked
in the index are falling. Prices for dry bulk shipping, which doesn't
include energy commodities, tend to be very sensitive to economic
activity. A sharp drop in rates indicates a significant drop in global
trade. Based on historical charts it looks like the Baltic Index can lead,
be coincident or lag movements in economic data and the stock
market. The index seems to be most closely correlated with prices of
industrial commodities and the industrial sector of the global
economy. While this is not the largest component of the U.S. economy
(the service sector is four times larger), it is the key sector in
developing economies. It was manufacturing though that had the
biggest rebound in the U.S. since last year. The service sector has
remained lackluster. The stock market will likely be following the
Baltic Index down, although perhaps not with such a precipitous
decline. The Index has dropped almost 60% since late May. With the
exception of the small cap Russell 2000, none of the major stock
indices have had even a 20% drop - at least not yet. Disclosure: No
positions.’

A slap on the wrist for Goldman Sachs Aljazeera.net | The “great vampire
squid wrapped around the face of humanity” agreed to pay $550
million to settle fraud charges.
I disagree! Indeed, there have been and are a plethora of laws and ad hoc
prosecutions; but, particularly for the ‘risk seeker’ criminally insane
mentality on wall street, the same is far from a deterrent as seen from
historical perspective / fact and might even perversely provide for
them an incentive. The amount is relatively meager, but so long as
this settlement is as supposedly indicated to former SEC head by
Khuzami narrowly drawn and in no ways protective of goldman with
regard to the yet unresolved massive frauds in the many trillions, the
SEC should be given the benefit of the doubt. However, ‘turning its
attention to exotic financial products that MIGHT be used to harm
investors’ is troubling to say the least. Might? Who are they kidding.
The ‘bad paper’ is still out there in the many trillions and in criminally
complicit fashion now marked to anything. I further believe these
products of fraud and consequent damage are being surreptitiously
being, with corrupt fed help, supplanted with real, albeit fiat, currency
ultimately to citizens / taxpayers / nations detriment. As things
currently stand, particularly from the numbers, fraud by wall street
does pay; and pays well! Khuzami, a 29-year-old former employee in
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s business intelligence unit, had better
produce or appropriately find himself prosecuted for conflict,
collusion, etc.. After all, he’s hardly one to be considered unbiased.
The frauds on wall street et als must be criminally prosecuted, jailed,
fined, and disgorgement imposed. I truly believe that absent such
prosecution, there will be revolution in this country. In other words,
their ‘jig is up’ and they must go down for what they did / do.
They still know how to count. When you defraud for many billions, paying
$550 million is chump change. Goldman to pay $550M to settle civil fraud
charges (AP) Late stock rally ahead of Goldman settlement news And
the beat goes on! Goldman Sachs beats the SEC– ‘Can Goldman Sachs
Group Inc. wheel and deal or what? The bank and brokerage's settlement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday over the ill-
fated Abacus deal may be its best trade ever. At $550 million, it's not
terribly expensive. (GS 152.19, +6.97, +4.80%) hasn't agreed to restrict its
practices in any meaningful way. And poof! The firm can go back to work
with its biggest liability paid. Investors are ecstatic, Goldman shares
rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it "the
right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." See full story on the
SEC settlement. For the regulators, the settlement is more than just
anticlimactic. Having bet all of its chips on reversing embarrassing
episodes such as the Bernie Madoff fiasco in an aggressive case against
Wall Street, the SEC whiffed. Sure, the settlement is the biggest in the
agency's history. Yes, the SEC was able to squeeze Goldman on the
settlement language and admit it was a "mistake" not to have disclosed
Paulson & Co.'s role in picking the ill-fated securities. But come on.
Goldman's net income last year was $12.1 billion. It could be even higher
this year, given the robust first quarter Goldman already has had. The
settlement amounts to less than 5% of profits. Maybe Goldman Sachs will
even be able to write it off …’

Concern over smashing into the 'wall of debt' (Washington Post) Oh,
they’ve hit the wall alright; and, it’s not just debt.
I believe the printing presses have been working overtime to pump out
ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many trillions of
worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything. I
further believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the
fraudulent paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of
course, as is invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario
would also mean huge fraud accomplis. This market is paper on paper
moving around and generating commissions at lightning
computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms;
again, the analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation
is apposite. As such, that money has to come from some real place
and hence, the ever more frequent and larger crashes we are seeing.
Don’t forget that the worthless paper from previous such fraudulent
schemes now marked to anything is still out there in a magnitude
some have placed in the hundreds of trillions.
Exports are up, but where are the jobs? (Washington Post) Gone with the
wind? Sorry, I must have been thinking of million dollar movies. Seriously
though, I dare say everyone knows they were gone with that ‘bi-partisan
executive / congressional, think-tank, cia / nsa ill wind’ that others might
refer to as flatulence / passing gas, also called NAFTA, and also proudly
hailed by the foregoing as ‘strategy’. They’re gone, and never to return.
Moreover, the flipside of the exports, viz., imports, doesn’t bode well
despite the fraudulent wall street b*** s*** and their chorus of cheerleaders
in washington. Some might say self-delusion but I would say fraud covers
all.
Companies pile up cash but still won't add jobs (Washington Post) Unlike
the public sector (which now exceeds private sector in job gains and
average compensation), the private sector attempts to mesh hiring with
economic supply / demand factors to maximize (shareholder) profits /
wealth. Whatever faults american companies have, with relatively few
exceptions, this still remains a very basic fundamental and building
surplus (generating profits) is a necessary precept to ensure survival and
the capacity to be a good ‘citizen’ so to speak. Then there’s reality:
Retail sales down for 2nd consecutive month (Washington Post) Another

minutes pointing to extended bad economy. See Dave Fry’s (Daily)
summary below referencing in euphemistic fashion, yet another ongoing
manipulation also known as fraud. (Absent prosecutions, they’ll continue

Mideast Digest: Wow! Belfast, Northern Ireland; and in the Mideast Digest

similarly tangentially the jewish mob and then primarily what I learned
to be ‘governmental mob’, federal, state, local, derivative thereby and
the sine quo non of corruption / bribery / synergy that spells decline
for any nation), it is difficult to not be empathetic to the plight of an
otherwise beautiful nation tainted only by the orange stain in that
northern quarter. After all, what hasn’t england not mucked up from
balfour to the mideast to now even their own nation having hitched a
ride on the american / israeli crazy train. As a matter of disclosure, I
must admit to an affinity for the Irish and somewhat fairly recently had
been asked what I thought of Philadelphia to which without hesitation
I immediately replied that Grace Kelly (truly magnificent by any
standard) was born there. I could think of nothing else that could
parallel such a distinction.
NATION NEWS DIGEST: J.P. Morgan Chase posts $4.8 billion profit
(Washington Post) Yet another ‘Come on’ day on fraudulent wall street!
This time it’s the unexpected jump in continuing claims for unemployment,
yesterday the downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales
report and poor retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then
there’s the fed minutes pointing to extended bad economy. Then there’s
also now the ‘goldfinger factor’ as in goldman’s middle finger. When you
defraud for many billions, paying $550 million is chump change. Goldman
shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it
"the right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." (Absent
prosecutions, they’ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall

_from=PL&index=0&playnext=1 ‘THE OBAMA DECEPTION’ – well
worth the view.
Concern over smashing into the 'wall of debt' (Washington Post) Oh,
they’ve hit the wall alright; and, it’s not just debt.
I believe the printing presses have been working overtime to pump out
ever more worthless fiat currency and with the many trillions of
worthless fraudulent paper still out there and marked to anything. I
further believe the same is being surreptitiously used to supplant the
fraudulent paper, the consequences of which will be devastating, of
course, as is invariably so in depressions in any event. This scenario
would also mean huge fraud accomplis. This market is paper on paper
moving around and generating commissions at lightning
computerized speed but adding no real value in real economic terms;
again, the analogy of termites eating away at the (nation’s) foundation
is apposite. As such, that money has to come from some real place
and hence, the ever more frequent and larger crashes we are seeing.
Don’t forget that the worthless paper from previous such fraudulent
schemes now marked to anything is still out there in a magnitude
some have placed in the hundreds of trillions.
Exports are up, but where are the jobs? (Washington Post) Gone with the
wind? Sorry, I must have been thinking of million dollar movies. Seriously
though, I dare say everyone knows they were gone with that ‘bi-partisan
executive / congressional, think-tank, cia / nsa ill wind’ that others might
refer to as flatulence / passing gas, also called NAFTA, and also proudly
hailed by the foregoing as ‘strategy’. They’re gone, and never to return.
Moreover, the flipside of the exports, viz., imports, doesn’t bode well
despite the fraudulent wall street b*** s*** and their chorus of cheerleaders
in washington. Some might say self-delusion but I would say fraud covers
all.
Companies pile up cash but still won't add jobs (Washington Post) Unlike
the public sector (which now exceeds private sector in job gains and
average compensation), the private sector attempts to mesh hiring with
economic supply / demand factors to maximize (shareholder) profits /
wealth. Whatever faults american companies have, with relatively few
exceptions, this still remains a very basic fundamental and building
surplus (generating profits) is a necessary precept to ensure survival and
the capacity to be a good ‘citizen’ so to speak. Then there’s reality:
Retail sales down for 2nd consecutive month (Washington Post) Another
‘Come on’ day on fraudulent wall street! This time it’s the unexpected
downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales report and poor
retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then there’s the fed
minutes pointing to extended bad economy. See Dave Fry’s (Daily)
summary below referencing in euphemistic fashion, yet another ongoing
manipulation also known as fraud. (Absent prosecutions, they’ll continue
to do what comes natural to frauds on wall street). Great opportunity to sell
/ take profits since much worse, also called reality beyond the b*** s***, to
come. Then there’s also the bad but typical news; viz., retail sales,
mortgage apps, economic outlook down, and yesterday deficits, trade and
budget, up.
Mideast Digest: Wow! Belfast, Northern Ireland; and in the Mideast Digest
Section, of all places. It’s been a long time. While I have had some
difficulties with Irish mob in the context of litigation but only
tangential to my primary RICO action vis-à-vis the Italian mob (and
similarly tangentially the jewish mob and then primarily what I learned
to be ‘governmental mob’, federal, state, local, derivative thereby and
the sine quo non of corruption / bribery / synergy that spells decline
for any nation), it is difficult to not be empathetic to the plight of an
otherwise beautiful nation tainted only by the orange stain in that
northern quarter. After all, what hasn’t england not mucked up from
balfour to the mideast to now even their own nation having hitched a
ride on the american / israeli crazy train. As a matter of disclosure, I
must admit to an affinity for the Irish and somewhat fairly recently had
been asked what I thought of Philadelphia to which without hesitation
I immediately replied that Grace Kelly (truly magnificent by any
standard) was born there. I could think of nothing else that could
parallel such a distinction.
If not for the likes of ie., Dell Computer, most (ie., those die hard Mac,
Iphone, Ipad, etc., aficionados among others) would say microsoft’s
already in the clouds, so to speak. Microsoft takes aim at the cloud
(Washington Post)
No help in sight for jobless (Washington Post) Well, from their perspective,
they really don’t feel your pain, and, it gives the frauds on wall street
another b*** s***, market frothing, false talking point in the form of ‘fewer
continuing claims for unemployment’. Then there’s that ‘ depression thing’.

Technical Indicators Trigger Major Sell Signal ‘…In summary, the bearish

Simon Maierhofer: ‘On Friday July 9, 2010, 4:32 pm EDT It rarely ever
happens, but when it does, it's serious. It has only happened nine times in
10 years. We are referring to crossovers between the 200-day and 50-day
simple moving averages (SMAs).Very few technical indicators receive as
much attention and media coverage as the 50 and 200-day SMAs. The 200-
day MA is perceived to be the dividing line between a stock that is
technically healthy and one that is not. It's a Big Deal It's a big deal when a
stock or an index drops below the 200-day SMA. It's an even bigger deal
when the 50-day SMA of any given stock or index drops below the 200-day
SMA. Such a crossover reflects internal weakness - at least in theory. We'll
discuss in a moment how the actual numbers match up with theoretic
assumptions. On June 22, 2010, the S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC) and Dow Jones
(DJI: ^DJI) dropped below the 200-day SMA. One day later the Nasdaq
(Nasdaq: ^IXIC) followed. On July 2, 2010, the 50-day SMA for the S&P
(NYSEArca: SPY - News) dropped below the 200-day SMA. On July 6, the
Dow Jones (NYSEArca: DIA - News) followed. As of today, the Nasdaq
(Nasdaq: QQQQ - News) is barely hanging on. This sounds like a
doomsday scenario. Does a rigid analysis show that there is validity to 200-
day and 50-day SMA crossover buy/sell signals? Let's
investigate.Crossovers - Lagging but Notable Many argue that the SMA
crossover is a delayed signal that emphasizes past weakness more than it
foreshadows future declines. To an extent, that is true. There are other
warning signals that point to a market turn long before the SMA does. For
example, on April 16, 2010, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter noted an
extremely low put/call ratio along with other bullish sentiment extremes.
The newsletter stated that 'the message conveyed by the composite
bullishness is unmistakably bearish. Once prices start to fall and investors
get afraid of incurring losses, the only option is to sell (due to the low
put/call ratio). Selling, results in more selling. This negative feedback loop
usually results in rapidly falling prices.' Prices did fall rapidly. The 22
trading days following the April 26 high, erased eight months worth of
gains. It took a 17% drop for the SMA crossover to trigger a sell signal.
When the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter issued a strong buy signal on
March 2, 2009, it emphasized that the developing rally would be a counter
trend rally followed by a steep decline and maintained this viewpoint even
though prices kept rallying relentlessly into the April highs. The SMA
crossover now expresses the possibility that even lower prices are ahead.
200 and 50-day SMA Crossovers - How Accurate? How about the SMA
crossover track record? Over the past 10 years, there have been nine S&P
SMA crossovers with five sell and four buy signals. We have yet to see the
results of the most recent sell signal. However, of the eight previous
signals, six were correct. Average gains following each signal were 14.91%.
$10,000 invested according to the buy/sell recommendations given right
after the first sell signal was triggered on October 30, 2000 at S&P 1,399,
would be worth $24,769 today. More Than just Crossovers If it sounds too
good to be true, it often is. As is the case with so many technical
indicators, crossovers need to be viewed in context with other indicators.
In other words, take a step back and evaluate how crossovers fit into the
larger picture. The larger picture (going back to 2007) reveals that trading
volume associated with market declines has been generally high, while
trading volume seen during rallies has been generally low; a bearish sign.
Does Wednesday's 3.13% Rally Invalidate the Sell Signal? On Wednesday,
the S&P rallied 32 points or 3.13%. The Dow rallied 2.82%, while the Nasdaq
rallied 3.13%. Does this mean the bull market is back on track?Since the
April market top, we've seen about a handful of 2-3% bounces. All
associated gains were erased within a matter of days. Chances are this
time will be the same. In fact, some sort of bounce was to be expected. On
July 5, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated 'considering that the S&P
is butting against the 100-week SMA, lower accelerations band, 38.2%
Fibonacci retracement levels, round number resistance at 1,000, and
weekly s1 at 994, there is a good chance we will see some sort of a bounce
develop from the 990 - 1,015 area. Weekly r1 at 1,066 and pivot at 1,063
should serve as resistance.' This bounce is in its later stages right now.
What's Next? Let's revisit the larger picture. Out of the nine leading
industry sectors, seven have seen their 50-day SMA cross below the 200-
day SMA - financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News), technology (NYSEArca: XLK
- News), consumer staples (NYSEArca: XLP - News), materials (NYSEArca:
XLB - News), utilities (NYSEArca: XLU - News), energy (NYSEArca: XLE -
News) and healthcare (NYSEArca: XLV - News). The consumer
discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) and industrial sector (NYSEArca:
XLI - News) are the only holdouts. All nine sectors, however, trade below
their 200-day SMA. Fundamentals, sentiment readings and valuations also
point south. Some of the fundamentals we have discussed in these pages
are crafty accounting practices designed to hide huge losses racked up by
big financial institutions not yet realized along with a continually bad
unemployment picture. Sentiment surrounding the April highs recorded
extremes not seen since the 2000, 2007, and even 1987 market top. There
are multiple sentiment measures (such as the VIX, cash allocation, put/call
ratio, percentage of bullish/bearish advisors, mutual fund cash levels, etc.).
Each sentiment measure is one piece of the puzzle. The more pieces of the
puzzle you have, the clearer the picture becomes. Leading up to the April
highs, nearly all sentiment indicators peaked, painting a complete bearish
picture. In summary, the bearish picture is confirmed by technical
indicators, a fundamental outlook, sentiment gauges, and valuations.
Based on what the market considered fair market valuations at prior
historic market bottoms, one can conclude how far stocks have to drop to
reach the previously attained level of fair valuations. The ETF Profit
Strategy Newsletter includes a detailed analysis of four valuation metrics
with a track record of accuracy, along with the implied target range for an
ultimate market bottom. This is provided in addition to its short, mid and
long-term forecast. When the market speaks, it behooves investors to
listen. Fighting the tape has often proven to be foolish, as the market will
always have the final word.’

The long and short is that – come Summer – the inventory cycle’s
thrust will have dissipated. And if companies are not hiring by this
time and consumer spending is not increasing more robustly, then
the state budgets, the strategic defaults and all of the rest of that
becomes a serious obstacle. In my view, more likely than not, this
will lead to another recession late in 2010 or in 2011. And nothing in
the President’s budget changes this outlook.

• US GDP growth rate is unsustainable; recovery will fade (April 2010):
The inventory cycle is already starting to fade. That means weak 1 or

50 Random Facts That Make You Wonder What In The World Has Happened
To America - The Economic Collapse July 2, 2010 Our world is
changing at a pace that is so staggering these days that it can be
really hard to fully grasp the significance of what we are witnessing.
Hopefully the collection of random facts below will help you to
“connect the dots” just a little bit. On one level, the facts below may
not seem related. However, what they all do have in common is that
they show just how much the United States has fundamentally
changed. Do you ever just sit back and wonder what in the world has
happened to America? The truth is that the America that so many of
us once loved so much has been shattered into a thousand pieces.
The “land of the free and the home of the brave” has been
transformed into a socialized Big Brother nanny state that is oozing
with corruption and has accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in
the history of the world. The greatest economic machine that the
world has ever seen is falling apart before our very eyes, and even
when our politicians actually try to do something right (which is quite
rare) the end result is still a bunch of garbage. For those who still
love this land (and there are a lot of us) it is heartbreaking to watch
America slowly die.

In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take
effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on
January 1, 2011:
In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors,
small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1,
2011:
Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from
35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small
business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent.
All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal
exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect
as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
Higher taxes on marriage and family. The “marriage penalty” (narrower tax
brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income.
The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The
standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative
to the single level. The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.
The return of the Death Tax. This year, there is no death tax. For those
dying on or after January 1 2011, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on
estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a
retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved
ones.
Higher tax rates on savers and investors. The capital gains tax will rise
from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. The dividends tax will rise
from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. These rates will rise
another 3.8 percent in 2013.
There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first
go into effect on January 1, 2011. They include:
The “Special Needs Kids Tax” This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap
on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no
federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this
new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs
children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in
the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs
education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs
children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily
exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay
for this type of special needs education.
The HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike. This provision of Obamacare increases the
additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20
percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged
accounts, which remain at 10 percent.
Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes
When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they’ll
be in for a nasty surprise—the AMT won’t be held harmless, and many tax
relief provisions will have expired. The major items include:
The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year.
According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress’ failure to index
the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families—rising from 4
million last year to 28.5 million. These families will have to calculate their
tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created
in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.
Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of
tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the
“research and experimentation tax credit,” but there are many, many
others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief
will cost jobs.
Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for
tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be
limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.
Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided
educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction
will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.
Double Dip on the Way There were many events contributing to yesterday’s
sell-off, and the most likely culprits around the globe included more
protests in Greece, continued to concerns about Europe at large, and a
downward revision (due to a calculation error) of a leading economic
indicator reading in China for the month of April. But when it comes down
to it, our own economy has yet to stand on solid ground. While the
recovery has continued to be shaky at best, recent economic readings may
be pointing to a double dip recession. Yesterday’s batch of economic data
seemed to be confirming that, as it brought a very dismal reading on
consumer confidence. June’s number stood at 52.9, far below expectations
of 62.5, and pointing to the consumers’ weariness about the job market,
and economic recovery in general. To go further, the previous reading for
May was revised downward, to 62.7 from 63.3. But the drop from May to
June really sends the message home: we’re not out of the woods yet.
Earlier in the week, we saw personal savings rates rise again, even while
personal income growth was meager. Americans, despite bringing home a
little more cash, continued to save more for the expected rainy days, and
have yet to return to their spendthrift ways. After yesterday’s precipitous
selling, one would expect to see a bit of a bounce in today’s trading
session. That wasn’t the case, however, as more weak data continued to
dampen economic hopes. Today’s culprit was the ADP private sector job
report. The report stated that private payroll gains were muted in June, with
only 13,000 jobs added – far less than the 60,000 expected by economists.
While May’s reading was revised slightly upwards (to 57,000 hires from
previously reported 55,000), today’s release does not bode well for the
much anticipated report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics due out on
Friday. The non-farms payroll survey includes government workers and
has been inflated in recent months due to hiring for the 2010 Census …
[chart] …The June report, however, will reflect many of those workers
being laid off in the past month. In May, 431,000 jobs were added, but
without support from temporary government hires, economists are
predicting job losses in June. Last week, consensus estimates were for a
loss of 70,000 jobs for the month. By yesterday, those estimates were
downgraded further, to 110,000. With the help of today’s ADP report,
expectations have continued to fall: economists now expect a reading of
negative 125,000 …
Barron's: Why the Market Will Keep Sliding Perry D- Barron's has a nice
summary of what the future may hold in its "Up and Down Wall Street." It
summarizes as well as anything I've read recently where we're likely
headed. Bugging the (stock) market is the increasingly obvious disparity
between what the Street's incorrigible cheerleaders see and prophesy and
what's actually happening in the real world...The double dip in housing may
or may not be a template of what's in store for the economy as a whole. But
at the very least, it is a precursor of other serious disappointments
destined to feed the unease among the jittery populace, which most
emphatically includes investors.
That about sums up the outlook. The nice insight here is that anxiety over
future economic malaise -- and the additional money printing that'll be
done to mask it -- might be a bigger factor than current inflationary
pressure behind the surge in gold prices.
In other words, for the deflation-believers: deflation today? Perhaps. But
big-time inflation tomorrow.

Russell: This Is One Of The Largest Tops In Stock Market History Richard
Russell has grown very vocally bearish in recent months. Earlier this
year, Russell warned that the stock market was once again becoming
grossly overvalued despite its relentless new highs. Pragmatic
Capitalism June 24, 2010 Richard Russell has grown very vocally
bearish in recent months. Earlier this year, Russell warned that the
stock market was once again becoming grossly overvalued despite its
relentless new highs. He has maintained that the bear market never
ended and that the world is far too indebted to exit the bear market.
He also believes the bear will not end until all fiat currencies have
failed. Although I disagree with him on many aspects of the micro I
agree with his larger macro outlook. This bear market is not over.
The secular bear market lives on. Mr. Russell thinks we might be on
the verge of a terrible collapse:
“We’re now in the process of building one of the largest tops in
stock market history. The result, I think, will be the most disastrous
bear market since the ‘30s, and maybe worse.
Question: “What could possibly be behind such a bear market?” you
ask. “The stock market is stirring up optimism on a weekly, if not daily
basis, by not falling apart.”
Answer: This is the “rest” or “dead zone” I was talking about. Bear
markets don’t conclude in a day, a week or a month. Months will go
by, often adding to the bulls’ optimism.I think the key element behind
this great bear market will be the complete destruction of all fiat
currencies. This has been a long time coming. Fiat currencies are
“wealth” created by man. They are created without sacrifice, without
labor, without risk, and without sweat. Basically they are an immoral
device, created by secretive bankers. If you watch the figures
carefully, you’ll note the subtle deterioration. For instance, the
advance-decline ratio, although up slightly for the week, had a
relatively weak performance with the Dow up several hundred points
over the course of the week. And we broke the trendline in May (see
the chart below showing the cumulative advance-decline line for
NYSE Common Stock only, which is what we publish in our figures

lines are Jan 2008, Jan 2009 and Jan 2010 as you move to the right on
the chart. [CHART] My old friend, Bob Prechter, is talking about Dow
400. I used to think this was an absurd joke. I no longer think it’s a

THE FORECASTS:
Harry Dent, Jr. Economy will be in a Depression by 2011
The worst of this next depression is likely to hit between mid-2010 and mid-
2013, especially around early 2011, but if the banking system continues to
implode a deep downturn or depression could begin sometime in 2009
instead of 2010.
Dow will Fall to 3,800 – 4,500 by 2012
Nasdaq will Fall Below 1,100, its 2002 low, by late 2010 or mid-2012 at the
latest.
Inflation will Increase until mid- 2010 and then turn to Deflation
Interest Rates will Increase
U.S. Dollar will Decline
Housing will Decline by 40 – 60% from Today’s Levels
Greatest Economic and Banking Crisis since the 1930s will Occur Between
2010 and 2012
Russell Napier is the author of the book “Anatomy of the Bear”, a professor
at the Edinburgh Business School and a consultant to CLSA Ltd. which is
one of the top research houses in Asia. Napier’s research indicates (and I
paraphrase) that: The S&P 500 will Decline to 400 by 2014 (the Dow 30 to
3800)
The S&P 500 will then undergo a major crash that will see U.S. equity
prices bottom at almost 50% below current levels (i.e. to 400 or less; the
Dow 30 to 3800 or less) sometime around 2014 as Tobin’s “q” drops to 0.3
signaling the end of the bear market, as it has done at the end of the four
largest U.S. market declines in 1921, 1932, 1949 and 1982.

including “Elliott Wave Principle” (1978) in which he predicted the super
bull market of the 1980s; “At the Crest of the Tidal Wave – A Forecast of the
Great Bear Market” (1995) in which he predicted a slow motion economic
earthquake, brought about by a great asset mania, that would register 11
on the financial Richter scale causing a collapse of historic proportions;
and “Conquer the Crash: You can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary
Depression” (2002) in which he described the economic cataclysm that we
are just beginning to experience and advised how to position one’s self
financially during that period of time.
Depression is Imminent
The Dow Jones Industrial Average will go down to at least 1000, most likely
to below 777 which was the starting point of its mania back in August 1982,
and quite likely drop below 400 at one or more times during the bear
market.

NATION NEWS DIGEST: J.P. Morgan Chase posts $4.8 billion profit
(Washington Post) Yet another ‘Come on’ day on fraudulent wall street!
This time it’s the unexpected jump in continuing claims for unemployment,
yesterday the downward revision to previous market-frothing retail sales
report and poor retail sales and plunge in mortgage applications and then
there’s the fed minutes pointing to extended bad economy. Then there’s
also now the ‘goldfinger factor’ as in goldman’s middle finger. When you
defraud for many billions, paying $550 million is chump change. Goldman
shares rocketed 5.5% in after-hours trading. No wonder Goldman called it
"the right outcome for our firm shareholders and clients." (Absent
prosecutions, they’ll continue to do what comes natural to frauds on wall
street). Great opportunity to sell / take profits since much worse, also
called reality beyond the b*** s***, to come. Then there’s also the bad but
typical news; viz., previous retail sales, mortgage apps, economic outlook
down, and continuing claims for unemployment, deficits, trade / budget,
up. (Just in: 7-16-10 Poll – only 43% of Americans approve of the

(Previously) I’d say this alito vs. wobama is a tempest in a teapot inasmuch
as alito is more than just a lightweight, hack, liar, fraud etc., as set forth in
the comments. alito is a criminal who should have served / should be
serving time in prison for obstruction of justice, bribery, among other RICO
violations. To alito, drug money is as green as corporate money and worth
his vote as well. In addition to being an inept [I looked in on the one mob
case he had brought, bungled, lost (accidently on purpose?) since I was
suing some mob-connected under RICO and the court (I had known /
previously met outside of court the judge Ackerman through a client) was
absolute bedlam and a total joke since incompetent corrupt alito brought in
all 20 mob defendants (rather than prosecute one or a few to flip them first)
who feigning illness had beds/cots in the courtroom along with their moans
during testimony and had the jury in stitches)] and corrupt (see below and

You’re naïve to think that the so-called supreme court is any different from
the rest of the meaningfully lawless and pervasively corrupt american

becoming a judge “so he’d never have to work again” – his words.

america’s just a fraudulent and failed defacto bankrupt nation.
There must be such things as parallel universes (I don’t really believe that,
because there isn’t) or how else do you explain the disconnect
between reality, current and prospective, and the wet dreams posited
to keep the war funding / corporate welfare programs alive in
collectively what has already become a trillion dollar boondoggle (not
counting prospective medical costs, etc.) and promises to go much
higher. Even israel apologist Cohen of The Washington Post alludes
to the Vietnam analogy. However, even if there were real goals beyond
the poppy / heroin trade which the Taliban had all but eradicated
(there isn’t); even if america wasn’t defacto bankrupt (america is);
even if america wasn’t killing innocent civilians in large numbers (war
criminal nation america is); even if america’s allies haven’t similarly
helped to bankrupt themselves by way of this war (they have); even if I
hadn’t told you so (I did) ….. this war still was, is, and remains a very
bad idea!
Afghan war overtakes Vietnam to become the longest conflict in U.S.
history Mail Online | The war entered its 104th month yesterday, with
30,000 American troops being deployed in the first half of this year
alone.
How does anyone take the u.s. seriously in light of their credibility
problems, war crimes, etc.? What nuke technology israel didn’t steal
from the u.s., the u.s. gave them along with missile, armaments, etc..
and paid for with taxpayer money that u.s. taxpayers and the defacto
bankrupt nation don’t have.
It's time to expel israel from the UN Without doubt, the israeli attack on the
Gaza-bound "Freedom Flotilla" in the dawn of Monday, May 31, 2010 is
one of the most savage crimes in recent history. It seems the ruling
power in Tel Aviv has been afflicted with a variant of mad cow
disease; otherwise, how could it be so cruel to unleash such a beastly
raid on the "Mavi Marmara," the Turkish flagship of a flotilla carrying
medical and humanitarian supplies to the hapless people of Gaza
Strip?
You think Iraq was bad? Invading Iran ‘would be lunacy’ Ivan Eland,
Director of the Center on Peace and Liberty at the Independent
Institute in Washington DC, gives his opinion on new sanctions
imposed on Iran.
Billo Says:
Lunacy? Keep in mind that this country is run and controlled by lunatics.
Our press government and military seem to take their orders from Israel.
Isarel wants to be known as a pack of “mad dogs. Do we want “mad dogs”
controlling us?
Here we see a bunch of phony accusations against Iran just like we did in
the run up to the bogus wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. The
boy has cried wold ten thousand times. It’s time to identify the “lunatics”
and kindly take away the car keys. If you won’t let your friends drive drunk,
why do we let a bunch of “lunatic” enemies run this place.
Glen Reply:
But it is also to their great credit that the Iranians have not made their own
threats.
Everyone knows there are 3 WMD threats, Nuclear Biological and chemical.
The scariest of which is Biological.
Any attack done under the threat of immediate biological retaliation would
deter only the insane.
Watch out america home of the insane, home of the leaders who want an
80% population reduction.
General McChrystal’s Burning Contempt for the Puppet Obama The farce

Stanley McChrystal’s sharp comments about Obama, Biden, and the

disrespect, as the script-reading corporate media talking heads would
have it, but rather about a policy in disarray in Afghanistan.

"What this means is that Neanderthals are not totally extinct. In some of us,
they live on," Paabo … With regard to that extinction thing, I’d say
they’re still working on it (ultimately, decades, extinction, the
distinction, without a difference). Actually, prior to studying the
compelling subject of Biological Anthropology (Michael Park text), I
too had some misconceptions about the group known as Neandertals
(recent spelling drops the ‘h’) and actually mis-referenced same by the
stereotypical image of members of said clade even as the debate
continues as to whether they are within the species homo sapiens or a
separate species. I believe these to be distinctions without important
differences, so humble the origins and evolution of man truly are.
Parenthetically, I wonder what that anthropological scientist Heidi
Klum thinks on the subject.
FOUND: MISSING LINK BETWEEN APES AND MAN.... These stories, and
the many like it, are old news and I subscribe to the more studied view
that there is no “missing link” per se and in my view they are
distinctions without significant differences. I previously wrote:

who says they don’t do anything? … And, consistent with that
apocalyptic vision set forth in the Bible [albeit a book of truth from a
very limited perspective (for which literal interpretations are
misleading); after all, the Wise Men thought it was a movable star that
was guiding them and shone the bright ‘spotlight’ upon the manger
with the Christ]; the jews and some other entity against the rest of the
world for that final Armageddon … oh, they’ll make that happen … it
gets them through their day with every step closer to apocalypse but
not to the place called heaven will they go. The end of this world? You
might say america / israel / and theirs are feverishly working on just
that, one way or another!
