Politically based stories and commentaries

Watch the Left Hand…

Saul Alinsky wrote the manual for radicals and/or communists (‘Rules for Radicals’).  One trick that he documented was what I call ‘the switch’.  It’s basically a magic trick technique — watch my left hand to draw your attention from my right hand which is doing something you’re not supposed to see.  How is that used today in politics?  There have been many examples this year alone, but here is a current one of great import!!

We are in the midst of one of the most important elections in U.S. history.  People within this country should be focused on who is running for president, who are they, what are they, and what are the important things in their background which would help us decide if we vote for them or not.  Ah, but we’re not focused on that.  We have things that are drawing our attention away from the election.  What you might ask?  Like who gets to use what bathroom.  And how do I feel today?  Like a man or a woman.

But if that doesn’t get your attention, maybe this will!!?

There’s a very strong chance you haven’t heard about this little diversion!!!?

Welfare in the U.S. — Where is it going?

The Heritage foundation recently reported that ‘social programs’ represent 72% of America’s budget.  And, that money is considered non-discretionary!  What does that mean?  That congress cannot alter those program’s financials.

When you consider the size of this country’s financials, that is a staggering amount of money.  And it is reasonable to ask where it is going.  The following video suggests that its destination is outside the United States..!?

Europe’s Problem in the U.S.??

The following video depicts what we should expect given we continue to migrate ‘refugees’ into the U.S.  Europe is a mere walk for them from the middle east.  Our land requires crossing the ‘pond’ to our east.  In a very few years it is reasonable to expect that the new Muslim population here could have the same effect on our nation as it has in Europe.

Suicide by Immigration

If you look back in history and research why the Roman empire fell, you’ll find their primary issue was bringing too many people to their country when they had no job or intent on working.  As a result the country went broke and their society broke down.

You either learn from history, or you are doomed to repeat it…

Yet Another Clue

We’re doing great!!  Right!?  No?  Awww come on.  We’ve faced the ‘crash’ and survived.  How much better do you want our economy?

The following is an excerpt from a financial report I received today.  These numbers should concern everyone!


According to Fortune magazine, Walmart lost an estimated $3 billion to shoplifting in 2015 and has made reducing theft a key priority for 2016.  [Does this mean there’s desperate people out there?]

Yeah… the job market is great..?  NOT!

Last of all, GoBankingRates, a national website that tracks interest rates, reported that 28% of Americans have ZERO money in their savings account, 13% had less than $1,000, and 21% don’t even have a savings account.

So let me see..?  If we have any sort of economic downturn (which is being predicted by many institutions in this country), how would we expect these people to survive that crash..?  Considering we already have over 47% of the populace on welfare now, wouldn’t this indicate to us that things are going to get reaaaalllyyyy ugly?  Like shoplifting may be one of the least of our worries..?

 

PREPARE!

Lessons From Venezuela

I have been giving lectures on the state of the U.S. and the creeping ‘progressivism’ which is turning our country into a third world nobody.  Yes, we are somebody today, but at the rate we are ‘collapsing‘, we aren’t going to last much longer with our current management plan!!?

It was not too long ago that Hugo Chavez was viewed as the 21st century hero of the left.  (e.g., Hollywood)  But before he died, he managed to destroy what was left of his country.  Today Venezuela is a total mess!  Mass chaos is the norm throughout the country.

If you put the two commentaries together, you get a good idea of the direction of our country!  Think that’s nuts?  Think again.  There is a lot of evidence that the U.S. is going by way of Rome and Germany.  “What people do not value, they do not keep.”

Lessons From Venezuela

 

And before you poo-poo the source website or its content, remember that you read this here — don’t act surprised just a few years from now.  Like it our not, our country is becoming a socialist state FAST.  And with our rights being eroded greatly, we’ll sink even deeper — into a communist state!

Manipulating Sheep

With congress having around a 15% approval rating, I guess there shouldn’t be any great expectation of delivery from them … any time soon?  But then I guess that isn’t really news.  However, having a member of congress writing a scathing report on his fellow elitists is news.  But with quotes like, “Most of my colleagues are dishonest career politicians who revel in the power and special-interest money that’s lavished upon them.”, IS shocking — not just news!!

Read the following article and also see the corroborating report from Fox news.

Economic Armagedon?

This post could possibly be the most valuable you’ve read in awhile.  The information contained here is not generally known, much less publicized.  If you have any money in a bank, it is imperative that you know the status of your money and/or bank.

The key element of this post revolves around ‘derivatives’.  What are derivatives?

Simple definition: a financial instrument whose value is based on another security;  a financial ‘investment’ based on loans of homes, vehicles, or other property

Detailed definition:  A financial contract whose value is derived from the performance of underlying market factors, such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity, credit, and equity prices. Derivative transactions include a wide assortment of financial contracts including structured debt obligations and deposits, swaps, futures, options, caps, floors, collars, forwards and various combinations thereof.

In recent years people have been able to get home loans with little or no credit (rating).  In some cases those loans were based on a very small down payment on the property in question.  Consequently the inhabitants were able to procure property with little exposure to themselves (other than possible bad credit).  The banks on the other hand saw these derivatives as opportunities to make obscene amounts of money.  This behavior is what led to the real estate ‘bubble’ in the 2008 timeframe which in turn led to the stockmarket crash and economy implosion.  The solution then was to ‘bail out’ the banks.  Back then the country was in hock for very little money compared to today — almost $20 trillion.

Today those derivatives have grown immensely!  (We haven’t learned much since then..?)  Consequently the banks are on the hook for ‘trillions of dollars‘ in derivatives. How much you ask?  Let me put the answer in perspective.  If you were to take all of the currency circulated in the world and add it together, it would add up to about $55 trillion dollars!  Our stock exchange is ‘worth’ $70 trillion.

Currently the top 25 banks in the U.S. are on the hook for $181 trillion dollars!!  (And that’s down 5.8% in the last quarter by the way.  Their peak was $249.7 trillion in the second quarter of 2011.)

You may now ask what the bad news is?  It’s a matter of a little law change made a couple of years ago unbeknownst to us mere mortals.  The banks made a change in the law with the help of the feds which basically states, all bank owned derivatives will have priority over depositors’ money.  This means that if the banks get in trouble and can’t pay back everyone, the derivative loans would have to be paid FIRST!  This means that your deposits would be used to pay off the bank’s debt.  This is referred to as a ‘bail in’.  Considering the total deposits in the banks are around one trillion dollars, that could mean that a great deal of your life savings could go up in smoke — rapidly!!

You might say they can’t do that.  Well, yes they can.  If you read the fine print when you open an account with a bank, you are signing that you understand this (the above) process is in place and that you agree to it.

As you have heard more than once in your life, “Misery loves company.”  I mention this because we are not alone!  If you were to add up the derivatives around the world they would total $1.2 quadrillion!!  You’ve heard a lot of rumors about how the global economy is shaky.  These numbers put that concern into perspective.

At this point you might ask what you could do to protect yourself.  The general answer is to buy tangible assets — i.e., real estate.  But wait!  If the real estate bubble part-II were to hit, real estate would drop in value quickly.  Hence a large amount of that investment would be lost quickly (faster than you can sell).

The reason for my posting this information is to inform my readers of what’s happening (coming).  It’s up to each of us to determine if this is truly a potential disaster waiting on the horizon and what each of us should do to prepare.  Doing nothing is a plan.  I’d suggest any other plan…

Population Explosion — The ‘Left’ Should be going crazy.!?

Today is ‘earth day’ and Americans should be picking up paper and trash everywhere, right?  Mother earth is facing devastation and destruction all because of the people on this planet!  The obvious solution is to eliminate people!!  At least that’s what the progressives would say.

Yet there is a ‘revolution’ in progress changing our world every day — particularly in Europe.  But that problem will be a real threat in the U.S. within just a very few years.  Considering the average majority family in the U.S. has less than two children per family, the average Muslim family has 5+ per Muslim wife!  And considering Muslim men often have up to four wives, that means that one man can have 20+ children!!  How can that happen you ask?  Read the following report to learn how.

A warning directly from Europe
