Foreclosures in the U.S. continue on at a record rate. Home equity is at its lowest point since 1947. Weekly new jobless claims came in at 427,000. A record deficit. A record debt. A country in the deepest depression it has experienced since its inception. So what is the number one news story in the United States? Anthony Weiner says he will not resign as more of his colleagues call for him to do so.
In case you have been living under a rock in Siberia and haven’t heard, I will let you in on what’s going on. Congressman Anthony Weiner photo-texted a picture of his wiener to six women and then denied he did so. I have to believe that the folks at CNN, NSNBC, and FOX are making sacrifices to the propaganda gods in thanks for Congressman Weiner’s indiscretions, as it is literally impossible to fill a 24 hour news cycle with a single story about a mother who may or may not have killed her child.

If there were ever any doubts that the corporate elite hold we the people in complete contempt those doubts should be dispelled. General Motors is at present pushing for a one dollar per gallon additional gas tax. The purpose of the tax is to force us to buy their new hybrids. I guess they might force those in the middle class, but as for the rest of us, we will be reduced to being permanent pedestrians.
This is socialism in its most communistic form. They have taken our right to take our personal property down the public road and turned it into a privilege. Now they are going to turn that privilege into a social advantage.

It has only taken five days for the neo-cons to take the reality of the deplorable condition of jobs in the United States, and the fact that the problem only continues to grow worse because of the wanton neglect of our so called representatives to address it, and turn it 180 degrees around to become more deregulation of the bastards that destroyed us after we deregulated them, more tax cuts for the same dirt bags, or else they are going to punish us by completely destroying our economy.
And of course the socialists are saying that the problem could have been a lot worse and the only answer is more stimulus for the same rich bastards that did this to us. I guess they want to send more green energy dollars to China for research and development.

The very same economists who were hyping the lie of a recovery are now saying that the unemployment rate is going to stay about the same at 9% through 2012. 99ers, bear in mind that as hundreds of thousands more join our ranks they will cease to be counted. This is one aspect of long term unemployment that continues to be buried along with the 99ers it represents.
New polls are showing that 80% of Americans are angry at “Business as usual” in Washington DC. Well, duh. The fact is the unemployment rate has been at 9% or higher 23 out of the past 25 months and with the renewed foreclosures causing home prices to plummet again, even those still employed can see the writing on the wall.

It is being reported that if the United States Congress does not raise our debt limit, Moody’s is going to drop our credit rating. So just what or who is Moody’s? Well I will tell you. Moody’s Corporation is the parent company of Moody’s Investors Service, which provides credit ratings and research covering debt instruments and securities. Moody’s is also the organization that gave Triple A ratings to the bad derivatives made up of the toxic mortgages that resulted in the economic collapse.
It worked like this. The banks made loans that they doubted could be paid back; high risk, high interest loans. They then packaged those bad loans into derivatives, after which they hired Moody’s to evaluate these toxic loans and give them a fraudulent Triple A rating, after which they were purchased by institutions like workers’ pension plans consisting of 401Ks.

It seems every politician is now attempting to make our Constitution a buzz word in every speech. Sarah Palin has a copy of it on the side of her bus. Well I have a message for those who think they can hijack the cause of the American people of the American race. Constitution is not a buzz word. It is a living reality and we the people are understanding its true meaning more and more every day, while people like Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin attempt to degrade its significance by commercializing it.
Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin are laughable in their lack of knowledge of American history. Their attempts to assert the righteousness of their neo-con elitist’s views using our Constitution, is an insult to our intelligence.

On June 28, 1919 the Treaty of Versailles is signed. The carpet bagging robber barons move in on Germany, which is suffering a depression. The Nazi Party, formerly the German Workers Party, rise to power during the 1920s. The party’s leader, Adolf Hitler, is appointed Chancellor of Germany by the president Hindenburg in 1933.
Adolf Hitler has his secret service burn down the German Parliament, Reichstag, on February 22, 1933 and blames it on his political enemies, which are the national socialist that put him into power. Between June 30th and July 2nd comes the “Night of the Longknives” when Adolf kills his political enemies, the Brownshirts, again, the same socialists that put him into power. By 1938 Germany has rebuilt its industry and is beginning its invasion of Europe.
