Obama Leaves Country, Again!

2 TSA. Where else can pedophiles and nana molestors actually look forward to punchin' in .

3 R-AZ Sen.Kyl considers support for Obama's nuclear START dismantling of the military.

Meanwhile, Obama apportions military defense satellite broadband from the Navy and weather NOAA to be sold. The Pentagon had no comment. But the NOAA overtly complies with this administration.

The new Commerce Department proposal would free up an additional 115 megahertz of spectrum over the next five years for wireless broadband. Of that, 100 megahertz would be shared with Defense Department radar systems. Another 15 megahertz would be reclaimed from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellites used to disseminate weather information.

"Europe stumbles blindly towards its 1931 moment"
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, UK Telegraph

Unless the ECB takes fast and dramatic action, it risks destroying the currency it is paid to manage, and allowing a political catastrophe to unfold in Europe.

If mishandled, Ireland could all too easily become a sovereign version of Credit Anstalt - the Austrian bank that brought down the central European financial system in 1931, sent tremors through London and New York, and set off the second deeper phase of the Great Depression, the phase when politics turned ugly.
...
The eurozone’s fiscal fund (European Financial Stability Facility) is fatally flawed. Like Alpinistas roped together, an ever-reduced core of solvent states are supposed to carry the weight on an ever-widening group of insolvent states dangling beneath them. This lacks political credibility and may be tested to destruction if – as seems likely – Ireland is forced to ask for help. At which moment the chain-reaction begins in earnest, starting with Iberia.
...
Will German voters then accept higher taxes to save their profligate neighbours?”

In May it was enough for the EU to announce a €750bn safety-net with the IMF for eurozone debtors. Bond spreads narrowed. A spike in economic output - led by Germany’s rogue growth of 9pc (annualised) in the second quarter – beguiled EU elites into believing that monetary union had survived its ordeal by fire. It had not, and this time they will have to put up real money.
...
The ECB is the last line of defence. It can halt the immediate Irish crisis whenever it wishes by buying Irish bonds. Yet instead of pulling out all the stops to save monetary union, the bank is winding down its emergency operations and draining liquidity. It is repeating the policy error it made by raising rates into the teeth of the crisis in July 2008.

Yes, the ECB is already propping up Ireland and Club Med by unlimited lending to local banks that then rotate into their own government debt in an internal “carry trade”. And yes, the ECB is understandably wary of crossing the fateful line from monetary to fiscal policy by funding treasury debt.

Bundesbank chief Axel Weber might fairly conclude that it is impossible at this stage to reconcile the needs of Germany and the big debtors. If the ECB prints money on the scale required to underpin the South, it would set off German inflation, destroy German faith in monetary union, and perhaps run afoul of GermanyÂ’s constitutional court. If EMU must split in two, it might as well be done on Teutonic terms.

23 And yes, I still chalk up the Dem wins (and I count her as a Dem regardless of who she "caucuses" with) to the fact that the Republicans peaked early and the Dems still had the GOTV apparatus working. In the case of AK it was with the "native American" tribes in the local areas that made the difference.

The so-called "enthusiasm gap" did not materialize. We had record turnout here and it looks like the rest of the country did as well. So no, it wasn't a case of the "Tea Party" selecting conservatives in Blue States that resulted in Dem wins in the Blue States. It was case of the Dems getting their people to the polls.  That massive "wave" depended on Dems staying at home and they didn't. What we saw was mostly Red State districts reverting to Red after the 2008 debacle where Republicans stayed at home.

Doing everything possible to mitigate the Obama disaster should be the highest priority for the Republicans. After 2012, when, hopefully, we have a Republican president and senate, then we can tear the grasping harpy limb from limb and cast her entrails onto a mountainside, to be picked over by vultures.

27 As an eternal entrepreneur, I am considering starting a new business venture. A "fluffer" service for self-conscious men about to enter the full body scanners.

28 The Dems have their little army of Hitler Youth er Organizing for America (OFA) that has over ten million members.  They were doing GOTV like crazy.

But.. I think that was probably their optimum effort..  And, if that's the best they can do, and we can step up our efforts a bit more, we might be able to beat Obama in 2012.

We just have to not lose Indepedents between now and then.

29 111 unions and other friends of Democrats get Obamacare waiver

providing 111 cases upon which to sue against Obama's Un-Affordable Health Care mandates.

Conservatives will no longer tolerate Democratic-Socialist campaign topics directing the 2012 coming elections.

The LEFT made "affordable and COMPREHENSIVE health care REFORM" the main '08 issue for debate. They also provided McCain the GOP potus ticket.

Never debate the Left on the Left's mutant and malleable terms since those results never play out as promised, and always play out to advance the bankruptcy of America, authoritarian governance, and death to Constitutional Liberty. And the Republican establishment is the Left as well, progressively left of "center", propagating The Patriot Act and DHS authoritarianism with ensuing obtuse augmentation of government bureaucracies and spending.

The US Constitution is the only centrist point from which we all align, left to ignore or right to sustain.

Limited federal powers keeps government small requiring less taxation.

30 Sidebar story on Fannie and Freddie:

These days, everyone—even Barney Frank—claims to want to reform Fannie and Freddie. Most Republicans now sound like these columns did for more than a decade, assailing the companies for their systemic risk to the financial system after taxpayers have had to put up $150 billion, and ...

Fox had a story this morning that it looked like another 300B in taxpayer funds would be needed to bailout bad loans in F&F. That story has disappeared. Too bad the WSJ op ed requires a subscription to read.

I gather that this 300B in bailout is already a done deal because the government "backed" these loans and F&F. Since the government can destroy contracts in bankruptcy court, why not just let F&F go bankrupt and destroy that "backing" as well?

Personally I think Raines and the other Democrat crimminals who were running F&F should be held accoutable and not only be forced to pay out all their accumulated ill gotten gains, but also should be occupying the cell next to Bernie Maddoff.

Agreed. What is difficult to understand is how close our political divisions really are. The recent blowouts have been because of personality, not politics and policy. Reagan was an absolutely superb politician and campaigner, but absent his charisma, how would the Republican party have done in 1980 and 1984? And even Bush pere ran against an incredibly wooden opponent.

We have to face facts; a large part of this country will vote Dem even with a dead girl and a live boy in the back seat of the candidate's car.

I have said many times there really is no such thing as true "independents". 95% of these independents vote for one Party or the other always and like most elections, they are split 50-50. They key is always who gets their people to the polls. This time both sides got to the polls and the Republicans took the Red States that had turned purple back for the most part.

Well with a bunch of Senate RINOs jumping on amnesty in this lame duck session it appears that the Republican leadership is still stuck in the shit that killed them in 2006 and 2008.

They are actively trying to kill the Republican GOTV effort in 2012. 

We are going to have to watch these people closely. And this is one of the reasons I always say that electing RINOs, even in Blue States does matter.

The three-alarm blaze that caused $1.1 million in damage to a warehouse filled with rock legend Neil Young's music equipment and memorabilia appears to have started in a one-of-a-kind hybrid car stored at the site, a fire official said Monday.

Flames began in a 1959 Lincoln Continental dubbed LincVolt, which runs on electric batteries and a biodiesel-powered generator, and then spread to the warehouse at 593 Quarry Road in the early morning of Nov. 9, according to Belmont-San Carlos Fire Marshal Jim Palisi and a website devoted to the car.

Young assembled a team of workers in 2008 to convert the 19.5-foot behemoth from gasoline to hybrid power, an effort he chronicled in a four-part film series.

In 2000, Rick Davis became the head of a group called the Homeownership Alliance, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac advocacy group. Its website said that the organization was dedicated to "exposing and defeating trends that would harm consumer access to the lowest-cost mortgage option."  He was head of the group for five years, being paid more than $30,000 per month. At the end of 2005, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac decided that Homeownership Alliance had outlived its usefulness, and it was closed.

Charlie Black, a top adviser, earned huge sums lobbying Fannie and Freddie.

I think Teh Bernank might be in for a reprive if we're in a deflationary period.  But since I'm not an econ whiz, what do I know?

55 Speaking of "deflation" and Benake while reviewing the threads from yesterday I noticed that Ace had put one of my posts up in the main column responding to "gold" being the cause of many farmers losing their farms in the 30s:

Disagreement: Vic says that deflation had nothing to do with the wipeout of farmers in the 30s. That the bottom fell out of the market and they couldn't sell their crops for as much as it cost to grow them... but... that sort of sounds like a deflationary effect to me. [Ace]

My point wasn't that there was no "deflaton" in the 30s. My point was that the "gold standard" wasn't to blame for the framers losing their farms as someone had stated in a previous comment which Ace was also pointing out.

Crop prices had been abnormally high in the short period following WWI due to demand and loss of European farm products in the markets. That stopped in the 20s causing prices to fall. (Even before the "depression").

But also consider this; If the drop in crop prices was due to "deflation" wouldn't the cost of growing those crops also drop as the price of seed, fertilizer, etc dropped?

56 Neil Young: Yes, he is that stupid.

57 Aww, Prince William and his lovely girlfriend, Kate Middleton are engaged.

 Election Stat. Post-Grads and those without high school degrees voted Democrat. Everyone Else voted Republican! EVERYONE!

Not that big a deal. In education-level demographics, Democrats are over-represented among drop-outs and post-grads. Republicans lead in everything in between. I remember researching that when a libtard co-worker trotted out the "Republicans are uneducated" meme. So everyone voted as they would be expected to according to party affiliation.

68 But also consider this; If the drop in crop prices was due to "deflation" wouldn't the cost of growing those crops also drop as the price of seed, fertilizer, etc dropped?

Consider timing. Farmer borrows to produce a bumper crop. Prices fall dramatically. Loans due. Dairymen produce milk, but milk prices fall below the cost paid to feed the dairy herd. Prices keep falling, so that given agricultural debt transactions can't be paid by subsequent harvests and production. Family farmers didn't have spare money to buy out failing farms. But Washingtonian investors did and made a killing, owning US and international agricultural production today, amalgamated with chemical engineering and food processing corporations.

The price drops had already occurred before they planted. That was part of the problem. They planted even more crops in an attempt to make up for price drops (and thus exposed even more soil to wind erosion per the author of that book I linked).

The problem was that the price drops were a continuing dynamic. They continued to drop even as they harvested the crop that ultimately became worth less than the cost of planting.

As a result, tons and tons of wheat sat in silos, and after they were full, actually on the ground rotting. In the long run because it could not be sold for any price on a glutted market it all went to waste.

And as I said yesterday, not all the lost farms were due to bank repo from bad loans. Some of the farmers had no open loans but they did have taxes owed that they could not afford to pay. Their farms were sold at sheriff's auctions for back taxes. 

That is something you never hear about in the media. There is one man in my old home town that became a millionaire during the depression buying up property for a song on back taxes.

73 Sure the costs of farming drop, too. But not fast enough, not in time. Posted by: eman

Exactly. The prices fell after farmers were already indebted, and continued to fall so as debts could not be paid.

Research would clarify whether the farmers had been encouraged to speculate and borrow (more than usual) by the Wall Street investment industry that would also encourage banks to loan. It wouldn't be a surprise.

And when every farmer planted even more crops the supply went up at harvest time and the price went down (Econ 101).  This is the unforunate problem with every farmer; they don't look beyond the end of their own field to see what everyone else is doing.

Not if your name is Barry, or whatever name he happens to be using at the moment.

101 After reading the article on Dems crying over their lost seats, I wanted to take a rubber hose to those fuckers.  You do your service, and then you move on.  This is why we need term limits, because the fuckers start acting like it's a career that they've just lost.  Either that, or we need to start randomly drafting people to be representatives.

Ha! wasn't just me. It's not a virus, it's an trick advertisement I believe.

I didn't. I've seen these before.  Isn't HA owned by Townhall now? shouldn't they be spending the money to prevent this garbage?

103 That is something you never hear about in the media. There is one man in my old home town that became a millionaire during the depression buying up property for a song on back taxes.

 That, too. "Nice work if you can get it. And you can get it. And if you get it,  tell me how." Amity Shlaes documented that those with money made out like pirates during the '30s Great Depression of unemployment.

Our nation's present economic circumstance more closely resembles the fallen Confederacy of the South circumstances than Era of Depression following 1929. The US Government and Federal Reserve are bankrupt, and the carpetbaggers who absconded with our Treasury are coming home to roost.

109 Hey Neil, there's this thing out there.  It's called automatic sprinklers.  Contrary to what your Hollywood friends portray on the screen or on the tube you can design one that doesn't operate every head in the building.

'Course it also makes sense to compartmentalize the warehouse and separate the high hazards (that car with the one-of-a-kind energy source) from the rest.

You'd think a guy with that much $$ would hire someone who knew better.

110 Amity Shlaes documented that those with money made out like pirates during the '30s Great Depression of unemployment.

That was another outstanding book. Thoroughly debunks the MFM worship of FDR and the great myth of how he saved the country.

My Norton 360 seems to keep things from getting too bad.  Does a pretty good job.

But.  I have to keep my eye out in a common sense way for browser hijackers and stuff.  And I usually ctl,alt,del and shut down a window when weird shit-fu starts happening.  And then run scans.

So maybe it's good software and good precautionary practices.

You make a fair point.  But I contend that it would only be a great adventure for the first few years (at most).  Then the dreary inside of the hermetically sealed cave dwelling would start to look all too familiar pretty quick.  Talk about cabin fever...  Anyway, I have no faith that anybody is able to adequately plan for all the contingencies.  Things would go wrong, and there would be nobody to help.  Just getting to the moon for a short stay and back again was a damn near-run thing.

When I was younger I fantasized about that.  I've been a sci-fi fan since I was a kid.  I'd love to found colony on some new world where muslims and libtards were nowhere to be found.  BUT I would do so on a world that isn't utterly hostile to life.  Not some dusty, lifeless rock. 

Besides - as soon as the pioneers made Mars nice, you just know that the vermin from Earth would follow to make it suck just as much as our own dear planet.

133 Libtards wouldn't go.  They wouldn't want to spread man's eeeeeevil pollutin' and climate-changin' ways to another planet.

I'm not joking.

In any event, they lack the do-for-yourself spirit needed to be pioneers anywhere.  The moment something went wrong, with support two years away, they'd all be toast.  Which may have its own merits, but doesn't help the colonization process.

The key to survival on Mars is interbreeding with the martian women.

However, in all seriousness, we do have to eventually colonize Mars. It is inevitable. We can't have all our eggs in one basket here on earth if we plan on existing tens of thousands of years into the future.

139 The aliens residing underneath the surface of Mars might not appreciate that, .  But I like your sentiment.

No worries.  I have an agreement with the Jovian gasbags to provide close air support, if it goes pear-shaped.  They made good use of the radioactives from the Galileo probe, believe you me.

140 Reactionary - you can't plan for everything, and a lot of them will die. Just like our western pioneers. If you try and cover all contingencies and have a safety line home -- then the costs become prohibitive and no one goes. Imagine the furor if the Mormons fund Utah State to pop a rocket to Venus with terraforming bacteria on board?

141 134, Sure, cabin fever and far-away help could get tricky. That's why your goals is to keep improving self-sufficiency. More and bigger shelters. One good thing is once you have your greenhouses going you can overproduce on food all you want. Just toss it outside and it gets freeze-dried for free.

You're not thinking 3-dimensionally. Which states that voted for McCain do you think Obama could flip in 2012? From my point opf view, a big fat zero. On the other hand, there are several states that went to Obama that could easily go back to the Pub, depending on who it is.....Ohio and Wisconsin off the top of my head, probably Virginia as well. While I was happy PA went red last electiion, the Philly fraud machine will be out in full force to try to save Obama, so I doubt we go red again. NH could go.

We evolved over billions of years to be adapted to 1-G gravity and a 24-hour day. I shudder to think of the long-term consequences of fucked-up circadian rhythms and 1/3-G gravity.

What would pregnancy be like? How would child development be affected? There's a lot more to worry about than just air and water.

Maybe if enough people survived then in a hundred generations or so the Martian colonists would evolve into healthy, super-skinny ten-foot-tall people. I'm just not sure if they can make it that far.

Anybody with knowledge of these issues want to set me straight?

If you read that book I linked you will see that the author blamed the dust bowl on those bumper crops. What happened was that they plowed up more and more land trying to offset the plunge in prices.

When the crops became of such low value that they could not be sold they simply abandoned the fields . With the return of the normal "summer drought" in those panhandle regions the soil in those abandoned fields literally blowed away.

Like I said, that Dem propaganda was a powerful thing. Like today, the Dems were more responsible for the banks going under than anyone.

In fact, I would say that the government and the federal reserve/central banks have been responsible for every major economic disaster since the central banks were founded.

172 This TSA thing has me steaming.  It's being defended under the grounds that I don't have a "right" to fly. 

Excuse me?  But I thought that I start out with the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the government had to show a compelling reason to infringe on those rights.

174 A couple of news outlets are reporting that the public won't have much chance to invest in GM's IPO.

Instead, the big Wall Street firms that got mucho dinero from gubmint bailouts, women- and minority-owned brokerages, and a Chinese company will get the lion's share of the new stock.

Never mind that our money kept GM from tanking, and our money was used to "repay" some of the money GM "borrowed."

Another great move from the Osama Obama regime!

Not that I would have been interested, even if I had some spare change to invest. GM stock doesn't impress me as a prudent buy in any case. Still, it's another slap in the face among many slaps we've endured from the Financial Friends of the Mohammedan Mouthpiece.

Beck's reading notices from electric companies that serve NY and PA that say rates are going up 30% in January.  Raw cotton has hit an all-time high and clothing prices will reflect the spike most likely when spring/summer stuff comes out.  If you have little Morons, buy ahead.  Years ahead.

Yesterday, he read from CPUSA material that listed Missoula, Montana as the home of the party and the news that they weresuccessful in getting their candidates selected in three states they were targeting (one was Rhode Island.  I think the others were Minnesota and South Dakota).  The elected folks are all on city councils.  If the rugged individualists in the western states allow the CPUSA to get a foothold, we're done.   

As for the good news, he's playing audio of various radical groups across the country spouting little gems like, "If you can't open their minds, open their heads."  There are lots of different factions that want control and only one will win.  So, all the commie, noe-nazi groups will take out the extreme muzzies and we'll only have a fraction of the work to do.  So see?  It's all good.

@157, dust bowl conditions began in the early 20's. In fact there was a farm depression thoughout the 1920's, with several causes, cited above, and it is possible to argue that worldwide farm economic conditions were as big a contributing factor to the depression as capital issues in finance and industry--which Vic is doing, at least in part. That said, the "Great" dust bowl was limited in scope, if not in notoriety. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were unaffected except for the color of the sunsets.

Let's not underestimate the influence of new, and obviously manipulated, government data on crop yieids and futures in that period. They are having a huge impact this year as well. It would be interesting to contrast private forecasts and reports with the official federal figures throughout the era of federal farm policy--and then compare that to the Soviets, who we were copying in so many things back then.

Bah.  All things come to an end, including man.  Perpetuating man kind for its own sake is not a goal that I find worthy of my time and effort.  If I had kids or grand kids (heaven forbid) and the earth was at risk of imminent destruction, then maybe.  But 10K+ years from now every record of my existence will be long since erased and gone.  None of us, nor even our great-great-grandchildren would ever see an iota of benefit from any Mars project, unless they were working for the low-bid contractor for rockets and bacteria and MRE's or whatever.  For the cost of going to Mars we could purge America of Muslims.  Now that's an investment I'd be willing to make.

They are, were and still are extorting millions out of their customers and the taxpayers.
Just like the 1930's, this is an engineered crisis that they put in motion in September of 2008 to drive out their competition, destroy everyone else's assets and steal billions of dollars.
Socialist, communist? I don't think so. Compared to the GDP of the nations of the 1930's, these are small countries. Small, aggressive, coercive and lawless countries. The only laws they comply with are the ones they feel like following. Many of the large financial firms are enemy nations, existing both within and without our borders.

There's a pretty funny SF story about a guy who gets hired to test out a new planet for colonization. Instead of Dash Starflight, galactic hero, they found the clumsiest, most hard luck guy they could find under the premise that if he could make it, anyone could.

They even gave him a robot buddy programmed to compensate for any self improvement he made during the testing time by making mistakes and causing accidents itself.
