MAKE MONEY HONEY_ no! no pickle jar

I have recently been struck poor by how large banks, now global rogue elephants, operate. They start by sucking money, ( with snouts) concentrating massive amounts into a few controlling hands while maintaining a posture of competition. Once an economy has been fully monetized and the manipulation of interest rates by a monopoly is established the great bankers "CON" can commence. Two examples both recent are presented in this essay.

America's recent swindle was in the real estate sector. A good place for a banker's CON since it involves leverage and debt. The bankers lend to developers who build vast tracts of marginally needed houses, commercial centers, shopping malls,apartments, storage lockers, and metal warehouses. These are built on the sound corpses of earlier buildings declared-unwanted surplus. This is made possible by tax laws corrupted politicians write and enact.

Now, to make your pile of dough rise faster, you lend money, at favorable terms, to panting ordinaries. They then purchase your leveraged structures taking on leveraged debt, again made possible by politicians corrupted by golf outings. The bank pays- lavishly. A few jet rides help. The debt candle is burned from both ends.

However, unlike workers and interest return suckers, (even your own), you are purposefully constructing a failure. Burning both ends of a candle is explosive. Many an unhappy family knows the pain of working night and day to make;"ends meet". KABOOM! The bank has stacked the deck.

The arsonists of this financial suicide FLEE early enough with vaults of money-non leveraged CASH (a position), and stand well away from the conflagration. Perched on the vulture wire, often called equity funds, private equity funds, you observe the slaughter and the growing pile of bodies. From your high and dry(cash) position you buy up pieces(assets) from the ash heap, picking only those that still breathe.

So, free of leverage you become whole.(equity owner) This crime allows you to be, RICH, so rich that you are a member in good standing, either new or renewed, in the ownership class. Your soul is tarnished a bright gold and your mansions blind you from the havoc this honorable pursuit has wrought but your historical--fated--destiny is made flesh. No longer a criminal, you are ordained superior a leader of historical note.

I write next of the current CON the globalized bankers( the same New York based thugs that grabbed 90% of U.S. wealth and ruined a decent middle class society) are operating in Asia. Property is only a spill over in this one. The current Asian CON is in the manufacturing and "industrial sector". The manipulation of labor and commodities and "made" goods are the center of the current swindle. The five banks headquartered in New York run it using the American military and it's executive as implied enforcer and the CIA as the implicit one.

First they corrupt the totalitarian regimes that rule most of Asia. Then finance and encourage a vast manufacturing enterprise that is the largest example of oversupply(overkill) ever engendered. Enlisting their American law enacting partners in the swindle, they use north America as a gullet to stuff, stuff, stuff this excess spewing, disgorging from Asia. The main supplier China is used much like the housing and lending sectors were used in the housing swindle.

China, a manufacturing source, is far more important as a demand agent. They fuel an unrealistic industrial transformation of every local economy thru out Asia and S.E. Asia, that is financed by the swindlers. (by by farms, oh have some cheap american grain)

China is used as an assembly platform and shipping port for the goods(cheap) that meet the marginal demand in developed markets. The demand is fueled by low prices made possible by manipulation of currencies. China and other Asian economies must destroy their rural base as well. Millions of people are dislocated to the cities and alienated from the land, their independent food source.

Transformed into urban cheap labor they assemble the marginal low cost goods that act as the final death sword to western industrialized societies.(laying ground work for next swindle)

The banker tools are many. One is the recruitment, by a promise of wealth and social stratification of foolish short sighted stooges and shills. The main recruitment grounds are western dominated graduate business schools. However, the main and most powerful tools are trade laws, destruction of organized labor, and currency manipulation. These same tools, minus a living labor voice, will be used to feed the fire, soon to start. Have you positioned yourself on the Vulture wire?

Can you live without blue ray? Is it acceptable to you to have blueberries once a year? The trap is soon to be sprung. The early signs are starting to appear in Chinese real estate markets. The growing political consensus for, "trade restraints" and currency corrections, point to an equity concern, lack of confidence in money funds etc. This is the spark that the ownership class fan on the eve of an auto-de-fe. Jump jump to the vulture wire.

Fingering overcapacity and labor demands the squeeze starts, a conflagration made in hell by those that burn money from both ends. Are they inspired by heaven? Do they possess the secret? Are they diseased individuals that have grouped together within and across borders for centuries playing this age old CON?

Is it simply advanced global CAPITALISM operating its self replicating mole faced digging? --A system for the SYSTEM-

america unchained

BREAK FREE THE CHAINS, for the time is now. America leave the chains of tradition and history and forge five new countries out of the rusty iron of yore.

  Texas can stand alone awash in gooey black while the western states with Colorado and its water form another. The South always solid will join and fight the middle nine for a border state. They the fountain of grain and soy will feed the others. The liberal east, bundled tight against the Atlantic wind is the fifth. 

The riches stacked in vaults along the eastern seaboard can bring glitter to the slag of the ruined industrial might, the rust belt blight. The Eastern cities, repositories of America's richest will be paired with Detroit, Toledo, Rochester, and other cities once hives of industy.
America, once fifty strong, to survive, must as all great fortunes, devolve, into five young states. When fate unrolls this bold plan, the guiding hand is heaven sent.

Aloha New thoughts! Well! Current Pope has discovered that god extends to aliens. If aliens than god created them. Makes sense--omnipotent, creator of all things and I suppose non-things; wonder wonder I can sleep! It is good that these "minds" are working this out or baking the ever extending circle pie. My trouble-- it says nothing- so what! If they argue; there are infinite points between two points and on both sides of a point, than I say, you are saying something. But no, instead they engage a tailor to extend the circumference of god's skirt. Next we here that God is (logos um um well um) subject to the laws of natural selection- or the consensus of his nature or exposed parts are --um or or, (Robert Wright's new book, "God's Evolution"), same problem--- so! In a mathematical argument we learn that infinity is bounded and unbounded. In a wishy washy argument we learn; I no longer like grass, well here have some bark. Logic, rigorous thought often confronts, merry-go- rounds. Wonder of wonder, the merry-go- round- will always win, if put to a vote, a test of minds. The need for agreement, conformity will trump truth at least for humans, and I suspect most other social organisms. Truth abstracted is the beauty not sung the gem unseen ----- the real not real- the materialist bows to Simon, I got talent, or better to the earnest purveyor of monkey bones, ground just right, that cures baldness. word study "hokum"-- placed close to ; "need for tenure", " my editor wants sale". Thinker says-- "I got needs!!! too"

SAVED BY A SENTENCE

a new- a new metaphysics -excuse me.

Love emerges when we embrace in a shared fear. When an individual, alone, shaking embraces faith in and with the outside (other) the heart opens and one is bathed in love. There is no other path to internal and eternal peace, except through an embrace of the other. One must cry before the cross, not an old cross, but a brothers current burden, outside from ours.

rationalization is survival

First; I have been perplexed for years why Bush and comrades went with a devasting, costly and foolish war in Iraq, instead of a surgical removal of Saddam. Recently, I have come to a reason that I believe is theirs. Historical lessons are such that it is a sure thing that the Gulf oil kingdoms are doomed. I know this as clear as I know that my life will end. The Bush cabal is an intimate business partner with the leaders of these soon to be historical has beens. A wrecked, hugely disabled Iraq becomes a buffer a no mans land between the Kings of sand and oil and the popular governments of elected, historical ascendant muslim states. A resurrected, democratic, well functioning modern Iraq was never the intention. Second, private capital in the hands of, private investment banks(rich really rich people), do not like balanced budgets, so a credit card war. This crucial policy allowed for a few more decades of gold sheiks and decades of debt servitude for Americans. Third, both the Bush family and the oil/gold sheiks believe in dynasty. Family, clan and dynastic wealth and its ascendency must be protected, perpetuated and enhanced. The enemy of this identity is progressive, democratic and popular 'will' based states.(coherent nations) For all of this to survive, rationalization is needed- hence the current contradictory rhetoric from leaders and their courtiers.
