It is just getting worse. the lies of 2006 have come full circle, time to own up libs

[Nyvin]

America is coming back after the worst economic disaster, created by Bush and the far right wing of the GOP, in eighty years.

No more neo-conservatism, no more free-wheeling businesses.

in 2006 the DEMS controlled both house and Senate.. which controls the money so if anyone is to blame for the crash it is the DEMS. But, you believe what you want

The Democrats took power in the beginning of 2007, roughly a year and a half before the crash (also while Bush was still president...). No political organization in the world could prevent a crash of the magnitude we saw in 2008 in a year and a half. Nothing, zilch, nada. Especially when the president is in the opposing party.

 

[asterism]

Okay...but ONCE AGAIN....what can you do at the PEAK of a housing crisis????

And yeah, without stimulus it's likely the bank crashes would've just kept going, Washington Mutual and Lehman falling shows it was a chain reaction that wasn't stopping anytime soon.

You're confusing TARP with Stimulus. The financial crisis was already over when the Stimulus was passed.

Already over? banking failures continued all the way until the end of 2010. Still today the financial field requires QE to keep liquidity going.

No, QE is being used to prop up the stock market instead of actually concentrating on the real problems. The bank failures in 2010 were due to FDIC rules made to favor large banks.

Regardless, you are still confusing TARP and QE with the Stimulus, also known as the ARRA.

Politics had little to do with the crash
Politiics have had everything to do with the non recovery
ND has a 3% UE rate
Texas has created over 1 million REAL jobs

Why?

 

[JRK]

the banks failing was due to assets losing value
those assets that were not being paid on then caused a cash flow problem
it is that simple

Real job creation would have fixed this by now
in stead we got Obama-care in a time we should have been building pipelines
drilling for Oil and gas
mining clean coal
building clean-coal and gas powered power plants
Nuclear power plants
allowiing non union Toyota as well as Unionized Ford to take over the auto market
Fracking in Florida and other places in which there are oil

Instead we got Obama-care

Energy states operate differently from others. I wonder WHY ND is suddenly making jobs? maybe they're making Iphones now or something...who knows....

Saying politics had nothing to do with the crash? pfff....please. deregulation of financial institutions??

I live in Montana and I see folks from HERE going to THERE in droves. This is what it might have looked like during the gold rush. Why? Because ND has found a way to capitalize on their good fortune. Great, high paying jobs - for whatever reason - is ALWAYS the answer for incompetent politicians, regardless of "what side of the damned aisle" they represent.

Forget 2006, 2007, 2008. It is over. Ancient history.

Our current BS artist has been in office nearly 5 years now. We are no better off now, than we were the day he took office. The primary difference is that he has the ability to lie to our faces and be defended by his legion of followers. Hell, they (the MSM) will even manipulate the numbers to make it appear that he is actually accomplishing "something" - hell, ANYTHING ( unemployment numbers supposedly dropping a tenth of a point ) is a reason to celebrate!!

The democrats sent a boy to do a man's job in Washington. He is incompetent. The sooner the dems understand this (and they are slowly coming around) the sooner they can turn the private sector loose and come to the realization that this socialism/communism "experiment" of the past 5 years has been an abject failure.

The Deficit is Shrinking
The Federal Budget has remained flat
Unemployment is down
Housing Prices going up
Manufacturing is moving BACK from China to the United States (trending in that direction)
Osama Bin Ladin is dead
Qadaffi is dead
Iraq is over
Afghanistan will be over in 2014

Yeah, it's not peaches, unicorns and rainbows at every corner....but I wouldn't call that shabby considering what he started with.

I predict his last big hoorah will be Obamacare, which the public will learn to enjoy and value once it begins.

Who signed that bill into law?

The CRA was the fuse that set off the Financial Crisis. To not recognize that is to not recognize reality.

Long story. One that is beyond the comprehension of most libturds.

But remember the lawsuit by ACORN against Citi?

Remember who one of the Lead Attorneys was?

Remember that it was filed under the CRA?

Remember that Bill the rapist Clinton had Janet Reno threatening Banks and had his regulators at the FDIC and FSLIC setting 'performance' and 'conformance' quotas?

Yeah, that was all part of the rapist putting the CRA on steroids.

Now..... The CRA did not DIRECTLY cause the Financial Crisis, but it WAS the Fuse that lit the bomb.

Banks were re-organized, CEOs, CFOs and Managers either got on board or were shown the door when Banks loosened (made non-existent, actually) lending standards based on CRA........

But, here's the kicker. They loosened the standards on everybody. EVERYBODY.

President of the United States of America, George Walker Bush tried SIX (6) times to push through legislation to end the madness but the dimocrap scum in Congress, most notably Bawney Fwank screamed RACISM!! each time and killed the attempts.

In fact, Bawney Fwank gave a House Floor Speech the day before Fannie Mae was seized about how strong Fannie was and how American investments in Fannie were safe and....

God, I hate dimocraps.

Franklin Raines, dimocrap scumbag extraordinaire got STINKING RICH at Fannie buying useless bonds and other bundled Financial Instruments that were worthless.

So did Jamie Gore-Lick..... The worthless scrunt who brought us 9/11.

She was Janet Reno's leg-woman building "The Wall".

How did an attorney get on at Fannie?

I predict his last big hoorah will be Obamacare, which the public will learn to enjoy and value once it begins.

1. It's $17 trillion as opposed to $10 trillion 5 years ago.

2. Obama has run 5 consecutive $1 trillion deficits, including a $4 trillion budget proposal for 2014. If passed he will have spent $9 trillion in 6 years, nearly doubling what Bush spent in 8, and nearly equaling all the debt ever accrued by the United States government since its foundation.

3. While true, that is attributed to workers dropping out of the workforce, not for want of actual hiring. The Labor Force Participation Rate is the lowest since the 1960's.

4. That also may be true, but the same ingredients that caused the previous housing crisis are still in place now.

5. Stop deluding yourself. Imports now control a greater share of U.S. markets for advanced manufactured goods (38 percent, according to a new U.S. Business and Industry Council study) than ever before. And U.S. manufacturing output keeps slipping further behind that of China, the world’s new industrial-production leader.

6. Yes, that is true, a great triumph over our enemies, but Obama had little to do with it other than deliver the killing blow.

7. Killed by the Libyan Rebels, not by U.S. forces, in a war we never should have gotten ourselves into.

8. Good.

9. Good.

In 2006 from Iraq to the debt to the economy, all of the lies that turned the tide to put the libs in power have come full circle

The economy is a wreck

Part time jobs rule the roost with 90 million not in the work force

Obama-care took the place of focus on jobs for the 2 years we needed it most
trilion dollar deficits? are you kidding? the NY times would have field day with this and GWB

Poverty is at record numbers and growing

Iraq? well now there is Syria where killing people with guns is okay and as if it is a re run of Iraq "we promise to turn in our WMDs" while the world does nothing
excpet this time no-one is going to stop the killing, nor the mad man resp for it

Yeah but Americans had their votes count for the Globalist traitors they elected into office. So what if the wars were un-Constitutional and the jobs are gone. The important thing is their votes counted. America has gotten what it deserved being 3rd party prejudice. It's not a liberal thing it is not a conservative thing.

An Open Letter to Democratic and Republican Voters

Our dear slaves,

We, the Rothschilds and Rockefellers of the world, extend our heartfelt thanks to the tens of millions of mainline Democrats and mainline Republicans out there who make up the bulk of the American electorate.

First and foremost, thank you for the trillions in extortion “bailout” money, and for continuing to vote for one or the other of the two political parties that jointly gave us all that money at your expense.

Thank you for letting our uniformed goons grope, radiate and harass you and your loved ones (especially your children!) at the airport.

Thank you for always putting partisanship above principle.

Thank you for always winking and looking the other way (or mindlessly applauding) when "your" party does the very things you wax indignant about whenever the "other" party does them, and for being willfully blind to the moral and intellectual hypocrisy this betrays.

Thank you for never questioning the validity of the "wasted vote" argument.

Thank you for being such willing dupes for the teleprompter-reading puppets (e.g., Clinton, Bush, Obama, Romney, etc.) we put before you every election season, and for never asking them real questions.

Thank you for being so willfully stupid as to think there’s no fundamental difference between an election and a horse race, and for consequently assuming that even if the candidate you vote for supports the very policies you most passionately oppose, as long as he wins the election, you “win” as well.

Thank you for sheepishly letting our water-carrying, talking point-parroting minions in the TV "news" media dictate to you not only which issues are more important than others, but what your "choices" are on election day.

Thank you for being so ridiculously gullible that you honestly think a pro-war/pro-police state/pro-debt money/pro-NWO Democrat, on the one hand, and a pro-war/pro-police state/pro-debt money/pro-NWO Republican, on the other, represents an actual "choice."

Thank you for being so cowardly, so pathetic, and so unwilling to question the validity of your fairy-tale worldview, that -- no matter how many hardcore facts are spoon fed to you by informed truth-seekers -- you go right on clinging to the term "conspiracy theory" the way a four-year-old child clings to his teddy bear.

Thank you for having so much of your precious egos invested in the delusional fantasy that we (the ruling-class oligarchs you like to pretend don't exist) never "conspire" to engage in criminal wrongdoing, that you have to be dragged kicking and screaming (like the spoiled children you all are) into acknowleding each and every fact that points in the opposite direction.

Thank you for doing the "SIEG HEIL!" to the official story on 9/11 whenever someone criticizes either the Nazi-style police state or terroristic wars of aggression for which that official story continues to serve as the all-justifying excuse.

Thank you for spending nearly all your free time either gazing glassy-eyed at the television, playing video games, or fondling your cell phones.

Thank you for always treating politics as just another specator sport.

Thank you for being unwilling to recognize an Orwellian euphemism when you hear one (or, even better, for being blissfully ignorant of what the term euphemism even means).

And last but certainly not least, thank you for being so arrogant as to think that giggling and snickering at everything like you’re still in high school some how makes you part of our club -- and hence immune from our depopulation agenda. (News flash: it doesn't.)

Were it not for your willful ignorance, your moral and intellectul cowardice, and your childlike obsession with mindless distractions, we wouldn't be having such a laughably easy time economically ass-raping you and wrapping the Nazification of America in the American flag.

You are without question the wet dream of every totalitarian dictator who's ever lived, because there's absolutely no amount of tyranny or police state thuggery you won't sheepishly put up with as long as (a) you have TVs to gawk at and cell phones to fondle, and (b) you have someone -- anyone -- to look down your snooty little noses at.

Your increasingly and ravenously affectionate owners,

The Eight Families
An Open Letter to Democratic and Republican Voters

 

[Rebelitarian]

Imperial Unity

British Consulate
New York City
June 10, 1919

"The Right Honorable David Lloyd George,

Sir:

I was highly honored by your personal letter of May 24 last (written same week as Paris meeting), and wish to thank you for the cordial expression of approval of my work which it contained. You were very good enough to require from me a frank and confidential account of the campaign conducted under my direction in this country, together with such suggestions as might further help to lead it speedily to a successful conclusion. As the campaign had been under way for a considerable time before you were called to direct the destinies of England, I shall review it from its commencement, and, emboldened by your sanction, I shall freely make whatever suggestions seem to me good.

From the moment of my arrival here, it was evident to me that such an Anglo-American alliance as would ultimately result in the peaceful return of the American Colonies to the dominion of the Crown could be brought about only with the consent of the dominant group of the controlling clans.

For those who can afford the universities, we are, as I have already mentioned, plentifully supplying British-born or trained professors, lecturers, and presidents. A Canadian-born admiral now heads the United States Naval College. We are arranging for a greater interchange of professors between the two countries. The student interchange could be much improved. The Rhodes scholarships are inadequate in number. I would suggest that the Carnegie trustees be approached to extend to American students the benefits of the scheme by which Scottish students are subsidised at Scottish universities. If necessary, a grant from the treasury should be obtained for this excellent work, which however, should remain for the present -- at least outwardly -- private enterprise...

Through the Red Cross, the Scout movement, the YMC, the church, and other humane, religious, and quasi-religious organizations, we have created an atmosphere of international effort which strengthens the idea of unity of the English-speaking world. In the co-ordination of this work, Mr. Raymond Fosdick, formerly of the Rockefeller Foundation, has been especially conspicuous. I would also like to mention President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, who has eloquently advocated this form of internationalism and carefully emphasize its distinction from the false internationalism which is infecting the proletariat.

The Overseas Club in this country now contains nearly hundred thousand pledged members with a Journal of their own. Our thanks are due to Lord St. George's, St. David's, St. Andrew's, and Pilgrim Clubs, together with the Daughters of the Empire. the Prince of Wales Fund, and the other association and guilds connected with our multitudinous war charities enable us to pervade all sections and classes of the country, and provide us with a force of empire builders whose loyalty an services are both invaluable to us and highly appreciated by the native colonists.

The censorship, together with our monopoly of cables and our passport control of passengers, enables us to hold all American newspapers as isolated from the non-American world as if they had been in another planet instead of in another hemisphere The realization of this by the Associated Press and the other universal news gatherers -- except Hearst -- was most helpful in bringing only our point of view to the papers they served.

British-born editors and reporters now create imperial sentiment in most American newspapers. As their identity and origins are not usually known, they can talk and write for us as Americans to Americans.

Below that level, imperial unity cannot be securely established upon the debris of the Constitution here. We will not passively permit this unity to be now menaced when it is all but perfect. Has not America, while still maintaining an outward show of independence, yielded to our wishes in the Panama Canal tolls and Canadian fisheries' disputes, as was fitting and filial? Was not America happy to fight our war in Europe? Was not America, like Canada, willing not only to pay her own war expenses but also to loan us money for ours? Was not America, like Canada, content to seek nothing in return for her war duty, so long as the motherland was completely indemnified in Egypt and the rest of Africa, in Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, and elsewhere? Was not America as proud to be honored by knighthood and lesser titulary distinctions, as Canada was, or, rather, more proud?

Has not President Wilson cancelled the big Navy program and dutifully conceded to us the command of the seas, confident that we shall defend America against all future foes that may threaten our supremacy, just as we defended America and Canada against Germany? In matters lingual, legal and financial, fiscal, commercial, social evangelical, administrative, martial, naval, educational -- are not in all these matters the established relations of America to England, in kind -- if not precisely in degree -- identical with the relations of the other colonies and dominions to the Crown? Indeed, I might justifiably sustain the thesis that so-distant American Republic is now more happily and more closely bound to the Empire than are, for example, the ungrateful and insolent colonies which lately were the Boer Republics.

As long as President Wilson, with our Canadian-born Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Franklin Lane, with our Scotch-born Secretary of Labor, Mr. W. B. Wilson, and with our London-born Mr. Samuel Gompers, -- now controls the administration, imperial unity will daily grow more intimate and more perfect. But I regret to inform you that our committee on American Elections has reported (Appendix 38) that no matter how lavishly we finance the next election, the Wilson administration will pass, and with it, perchance, that absolute administrative control over the Legislature, which has meant so much to us. Willful, wanton, and wicked men will unite in the next election with labor and those industrialists whose profit-patriotism ratio has been allowed to fall below the threshold of loyalty to imperial unity. These combined forces of disorder will seek to elect a legislature which will attempt to make the administration responsible to it, instead of to us and our auxiliaries, and will strive to rend the bonds which bind this colony to the motherland, for the sole, selfish, and seditious purpose of erecting a separate, national, economic unit independent of us -- and even perhaps, competing with us. We must, therefore, hasten to remove from this legislature, with the aid of our supporters here, such of its powers as could be used against imperial unity.


J. P. MORGAN & CO. ARE BRITISH AGENTS


In the financial world the Anglo-American alliance is a well-established fact. And as the consortium for China, and the security company for Mexico show, our brokers and their aids have become the unchallenged financiers of the world. We have been particularly fortunate in our fiscal agents here, Messrs Pierpont Morgan & Company. The commissions they charged, both as our brokers and purchasing agents no doubt were high enough to warrant their summary treatment at the hands of Mr. Balfour during his visit here. But they advantageously placed our many bond issues and every American holder of these bonds having now a stake in the Empire is a defender of its integrity and a potential supporter of its extension over here. Their services in putting this country into the war have not been altruistic, but they were nonetheless effective. They contributed liberally to our Americanization campaign. They ousted Miss Boardman, and through Messrs. Taft and H. P. Davidson they nationalized and directed the American Red Cross, and then internationalized it under the direction of Mr. H. P. Davison Through Mr. Thomas Lamont they purchased Harpers Magazine and the New York Evening Post. Through advertisers they control, they have exerted widespread influence on newspaper policy. Messrs. Lamont and Davidson gave you valuable aid at the peace conference. They loaned $200,000,000 to Japan that our ally might build a fleet to compete with America on the Pacific carrying routes. Their attempts to retain for us control of the international mercantile marine are well known to you. And I would he amiss if I did not remind you that they relieved the government of considerable embarrassment by pensioning worthily the widow of our late Ambassador Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, at a time when the antagonism of Lord Northcliffe made it impossible for us officially to do so. As the greater part of their capital is invested within the Empire. the Government of His Majesty will doubtless have opportunity to appreciate the value of the services of Messrs. Pierpont Morgan & Company.


BRITISH DUPLICITY

Through our fiscal agents here and our aids who act for other Allied countries, as Sir Clifford Sifton acts for Rumania, we have become the world's purchasers. Moreover, the war has made us the custodian of the greater part of the world's raw materials. With moneys lent to us by the American Government for war purposes, we have. acting through quasi-American companies by the aid of Mr. Connor Guthrie, obtained control of the large oil fields in California and in Costa Rica. And through the nationalization of His Majesty's Government of the Cowdray, Pearson, and Royal Dutch Shell interests in Mexico, we having become masters of the Mexican, Canadian, Rumanian, Armenian. Persian, and lessor oil fields, now largely control the oil fields of the world and thereby the world's transportation and industry. We have not yet succeeded in controlling the pipe lines owned by the Standard Oil Company, and its subsidiaries, for those companies have long been established. But, although uncontrolled companies may continue to get their oil to the seaboard, the proposed system of preferential treatment at our universal oiling stations for ships supplied at the port of departures with British oil (Appendix 37) will prevent the use of any oil but ours on the high seas.

This control would enable us to exert such pressure as would make American industrial interests amenable to His Majesty's pleasure. But it would be unwise to make disciplinary use of our fuel power before we secure remission of our $4,000,000,000 debt. Otherwise, the American industrial interests might retaliate by forcing the United States Government to exact from us the agreed interest, to maintain tariff barriers against our merchandise, and to withdraw support from the rate of exchange. Which make our labor and resources for years pay tribute to this country an unnatural, unfilial, and unthinkable proceeding. We are conducting a vigorous campaign for the cancellation of this war debt, on the grounds (a) that we fought America's fight for her for 2 years, while she was prospering in cowardice and (b) that at least the material burdens should be distributed justly, if the world is to be made safe for democracy. . Synchronously with this agitation for the remission of our debt, we are agitating for further loans of American money to rebuild our markets in Europe. There is no possibility of these two agitations endangering their mutual success, for we have repeatedly proved beyond question that the American mind cannot synchronously fix and correlate facts, with two cognate items on the statements to be judged each on its merits. Hence, we are able in a cloud of candor to state the merit of the loan -- viz, that unless the money be lent to us we cannot pay the interest on it. in these agitations we are receiving valuable, if not wholly disinterested, aid from our financial auxiliaries and fiscal agents (J. P. Morgan & Co.)

In Mexico our friends made a tentative adventure with the gallant Blanquet, but it miscarried, perhaps owing to a slight misunderstanding between the bond interests and the industrial interests. However, we are quietly continuing our work in Mexico until the United States Government shall be put in a position to take it over. An American war with Mexico would cost us nothing; it would satisfy certain American industrial interests; it would guarantee out title to the Mexican oil fields; it would humble, by impoverishing, this purse-proud people; it would give us an opportunity to show the American that he isolated in the world needs our protection against our ally, Japan; and while America was busy warring we would enjoy a clear field in the European, African, and Asiatic trade, together with the monopoly of the markets of a South America hostile to the Monroe Doctrinaries of democracy. For these reasons our press is fully reporting Mexican outrages, but a strange apathy seems to have fallen on the people, an apathy from which only border raids or special atrocities will arouse them. . .


LEAGUE OF NATIONS

In other words, we must quickly act to transfer its dangerous sovereignty from this colony to the custody of the Crown. We must, in short, now bring America with in the Empire. God helping us, we can do no other. The first visible step in this direction has been taken; President Wilson has accepted and sponsored the plan for a League of Nations which we prepared for him. We have wrapped this plan in the peace treaty so that the world must accept from us the League or a continuance of the war. The League is in substance the Empire with America admitted on the same basis as our other colonies.

The effectiveness of the League will depend upon the power with which it can be endowed, and that will hinge upon the skill with which the cardinal functions of the American legislature are transferred to the executive Council of the League. Any abrupt change may startle the ignorant American masses and rouse them to action against it. And us. Our best policy, therefore, would be to appoint President Wilson first president of the League. When the fourteen points seemed to our Government twice seven daily sins, I analyzed with care his diverse and numerous notes and discourses and divided them into their two parts: One, the Wilson creed, "I believe in open covenants and in the freedom of the seas," etc.; and two, the Wilson commandments, "Might shall not prevail over right, the strong shall not oppress the weak," etc. From the "too proud to fight" and "he kept us out of war" episodes, I ventured to deduce (September 29, 1918, Appendix 36) that he would at the appropriate moment oblige us by transferring the "not" from his commandments to his creed without as much as a "may I not," and in such a way that his people will be none the wiser.

The plain people of this country are inveterate and incurable hero worshipers. They are, however, sincere in sentiment; and for a hero to become established in the public shrine, he must first succeed in getting his name associated with the phrases and slogans that seem to reflect the undefined aspirations of the average inhabitant. When this has been accomplished the allegiance is at once transferred from the sentiment to the sentimentalist, from the ideal to the maker of the longed-for phrase. No one understands this peculiarity of the native behavior better than Mr. Wilson, which accounts largely for his exceptional usefulness to us. He knows that Americans will not scrutinise any performance too closely, provided their faith in the performer has been adequately established. Mr. Wilson has since made the transfer amid American acclamation. In the same way he will now be able to satisfy them that far from surrendering their independence to the League they are actually extending their sovereignty by it. He alone can satisfy them on this. He alone can father an anti-Bolshevik act which judicially interpreted -- will enable appropriate punitive measures to be applied to any American who may be unwise enough to assert that America must again declare her independence. And he alone, therefore, is qualified to act for us as first president of the League.

I confess I am a little uneasy lest in the exigencies of diplomatic combat, Mr. Wilson may not have found the joy he anticipated from matching his wits against the best brains of Europe. He is easily slighted and remarkably vindictive. It is the highest degree desirable that any traces of resentment his mind may be harboring against us should be radically removed before he returns. I would, therefore, suggest that the work of adulation planned in Appendix 32 should be instructed to consult the inventories I have prepared (appendixes 45-83), which show that he is now surfeited with diamond stomachers, brooches, and bracelets, Gobelin tapestries, mosaics, and vases, gold caskets, and plates.

The program we arranged for his visit to England (appendix 33) including a royal reception at Buckingham Palace, with which the President was well pleased. The fruitful visit of the President to the King should be returned as early as possible. I would suggest that as soon as the President is settled once more in the White House, the visit should be returned by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, who would be an admirable representative of His Royal Sire, and would satisfy President Wilson's sense of fitness. It is perhaps unfortunate that there is not a Presidential daughter of the Prince's age, for such a union would have greatly advanced our purpose not only with the American people, but also with a President who feels that lese majeste should be punishable with 20 years' imprisonment, and who acts as if he considered his son-in-law, Mr. McAdoo, as his heir apparent.


PRESIDENT WILSON'S PECULIARITIES

Too great attention cannot be given at this time to the Presidential peculiarities, for his devotion to our purpose will depend upon our ability to pander to them. I would suggest that the new ambassador to Washington should be chosen only after the most careful thought. He should not be too clever, lest Mr. Wilson shun him. He should be able to evince hilarity at the most venerable jest, no matter how often he may have to suffer it. This qualification is vitally important whether Mr. Wilson's "humor" is merely assumed to perpetuate the "human" tradition established for Presidents by Lincoln, or whether it is studied descent from Jovelike isolation to Jovelike jest. The ambassador should be a Wilson worshiper. I enclose (appendix 34) resumes of the methods of worship practiced by various members of his inner circle. The appointee would do well to familiarize himself with them, and my services are at his disposal should be desire more extended information on the method of worship he selects. He should of course be a commoner, that we may not lose democratic favor -- preferably a professor -- and sufficiently subsidized to be able to entertain regally. If a list were submitted to Mr. Wilson he might be prepared to indicate all of whom he did not approve, and the one against whom he expressed no prejudices should be appointed. The pressing need of our embassy at Washington is not so much an ambassador as a gentleman in waiting to the President.

I would suggest that his powers as President of the League of Nations be left undefined for the present. He may be trusted to assume what power he can and to use it in the interests of the Crown.

A grant of a privy purse of $100,000,000 would prove most acceptable to him and would be useful for private espionage, private wars, Siberian railroads, etc. His appointment should be for life, and you might definitely promise him that any instructions he may care to convey concerning his successor will receive the most careful attention of His Majesty's Government.

Nevertheless, it would be well quickly to reinforce him in the presidency of the League of Nations by staging the first session of the League in Washington. This will convince these simple people that they are the League and its power resides in them. Their pride in this power should be exalted. Perhaps you, yourself, might condescend to visit this country. Or, if that be impracticable, you might send such noble statesmen, and stately noblemen, as will suffice to make of the first League session a spectacle of unsurpassed brilliance. Indeed, it would be well to commence at an early date a series of spectacles by which the mob may be diverted from any attempt to think too much of matters beyond their province. The success of the Joffre, Vivianti Balfour, and other missions in amusing the people while the country was quietly put into the war shows that similar missions would likewise amuse the people -- while the country was quietly put into the League. I would suggest that missions of thanksgiving to America be organized, and that His Majesty the King of the Belgians, Cardinal Mercier, Field Marshal Foch, Venizelos, and an eminent Italian or two be sent seriatim.


PROPAGANDA

While awaiting these diversions for the vulgar, we are incessantly instructing them in the wonders of the League. Its praises are thundered by our press, decreed by our college presidents, and professed by our professors. Our authors, writers. and lecturers are analyzing its selected virtues for whomsoever will read or listen. As will be seen from appendix 39, circulars issued by the League of Nations committee, we have enlisted 8,000 pulpiteers or propagandists for the League. We have organized international and national synods, consistories, committees, conferences, convocations, conventions, councils, congresses, and assemblies, as well as their State, municipal, and district equivalents, to herald the birth of the League as the dawn of universal peace. A special Sunday will be observed as League Sunday in all churches. In this connection, may I remark that the appointment of Mr. Raymond Fosdick to the Secretariat of the League, has pleased not only the Rockefeller interests but also the less disingenuous uplifters, for it stamps the League as an endowed organization for promiscuous uplifting, under the triple crown of religion, respectability, and finance. Agriculturalists, bankers, brokers, chartered accounts, chemists, and all other functional groups capable of exerting organized professional, business, financial, or social pressure are meeting to endorse the League in the name of peace, progress, and prosperity.

The World's Peace Foundation has issued for us a series of League of Nations pamphlets, which, with our other literature, tax the mails to the limit of their capacity. Our film concerns are preparing an epoch-making picture entitled "The League of Nations." In brief, our entire system of thought control is working ceaselessly, tirelessly, ruthlessly, to insure the adoption of the League. And it will be adopted, for business wants peace, the righteous cannot resist a covenant, and the politicians, after shadow-boxing for patronage purposes, will yield valiantly lest the fate of the wanton and wilful pursue them.

By these means we hope smoothly to overcome all effective opposition on the on the part of our colony America to entering the League -- that is, the Empire. As soon as the League is functioning properly, His Majesty in response to loyal and repeated solicitation, might graciously be pleased to consent to restore to this people their ancient right to petition at the foot of the throne; to confer the ancient rank and style of governor general upon our Ambassador, that this colony may enjoy a status inferior to no other colony's; to establish the primacy of the Metropolitan See, with the Right Reverend Dr. Manning as first primate; to appoint Mr. Elihu Root lord chief justice of the colony, and to nominate Messrs. W. H. Taft, Nicholas Murray Butler, J. P. Morgan, Elizabeth Marbury, Adolph Ochs, and Thomas Lamont to the colonial privity council; as a special mark of royal and imperial condescension, to rename the Federal Capital of the Colony Georgetown, and lest section jealousy be thereby excited, to grant royal charters to the cities of Boston and Chicago entitling them thereafter to style themselves, respectively, Kingston and Guelf -- concisely to bestow in time and in measure such tokens of the bounty of the Crown as the fealty of the colonists merit.


BRITISH-AMERICAN UNION URGED

Since that memorable day, September 19, 1877, on which the late Cecil Rhodes devised by will a fund "to and for the establishment, promotion, and development of a secret society -- the true aim of which and object of which shall be the extension of British rule throughout the world, and especially the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire" -- the energy and intelligence of England has not been spent in vain. It would perhaps be presumptuous of me to refer here to the admirable services rendered not only by LORD NORTHCLlFFE (the probable author of the report) and the corps of 12,000 trained workers whom he introduced here during the year as purchasing agents under the direction of Sir Campbell Stuart, but also the right Honorable Arthur J. Balfour, and by Lord Reading. But my report would be incomplete without a reference to Mr. Andrew Carnegie, of Skibo Castle, Sutherlandshire, and New York City. He unobtrusively assumed the mantle of the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes. Through the Carnegie Foundation, he obtained such control over the professorate of this country that even President Wilson was a suppliant for a Carnegie pension before this people and allied gratitude placed him beyond prospective want.

The Carnegie League to Enforce Peace and its affiliate League of Small Nations are even now leading the van in our fight. In the North American Review, June 1893, Mr. Carnegie wrote: "Let men say what they will, I say that as surely as the sun in the heavens once shone upon Britain and America united, so surely is it one morning to rise, to shine upon, to greet again, the reunited state -- the British-American union."

The object of Cecil Rhodes is almost attained. The day prophesied by Mr. Carnegie is near at hand, the day when the American Colonies will be in all things one with the motherland, one and indivisible. Only the last great battle remains to be. fought -- the battle to compel her acceptance of the terms of the League of Nations."

it's $17 trillion in "Debt"....I said the "Deficit" is shrinking. If you're going to smack down the debt rising then you have to do the same for Reagan, Bush Sr, and Bush Jr....because the debt went up every single year all three of them were in office.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...deral_Debt_as_Percent_of_GDP_by_President.jpg

Yes after a financial crisis and a slow economy it is rather difficult to attain a surplus...but a record setting shrinking of the deficit certainly is something to mention. And you can't attack Obama for "crazy spending" if he's already breaking records to reduce spending.

Do you give credit for 'sequestration' to Obama since that is the only reduction in spending that I am aware of other than Bush's Status of Forces agreement that Obama followed through on to get out of Iraq.

Fortunately, Obama's proposed budgets that would have skyrocketed the deficit have been defeated in the Congress. One of them with a 98-0 vote in the Senate.

You're confusing TARP with Stimulus. The financial crisis was already over when the Stimulus was passed.

Already over? banking failures continued all the way until the end of 2010. Still today the financial field requires QE to keep liquidity going.

No, QE is being used to prop up the stock market instead of actually concentrating on the real problems. The bank failures in 2010 were due to FDIC rules made to favor large banks.

Regardless, you are still confusing TARP and QE with the Stimulus, also known as the ARRA.

1 item QE is doing is propping up 401ks
Wealth
that you can borrow and that you put into the economy
It is a middles classes way of having funds for the new porch, hence job creation
It is a way to free up capital

Politics had little to do with the crash
Politiics have had everything to do with the non recovery
ND has a 3% UE rate
Texas has created over 1 million REAL jobs

Why?

Energy states operate differently from others. I wonder WHY ND is suddenly making jobs? maybe they're making Iphones now or something...who knows....

Saying politics had nothing to do with the crash? pfff....please. deregulation of financial institutions??

I live in Montana and I see folks from HERE going to THERE in droves. This is what it might have looked like during the gold rush. Why? Because ND has found a way to capitalize on their good fortune. Great, high paying jobs - for whatever reason - is ALWAYS the answer for incompetent politicians, regardless of "what side of the damned aisle" they represent.

Forget 2006, 2007, 2008. It is over. Ancient history.

Our current BS artist has been in office nearly 5 years now. We are no better off now, than we were the day he took office. The primary difference is that he has the ability to lie to our faces and be defended by his legion of followers. Hell, they (the MSM) will even manipulate the numbers to make it appear that he is actually accomplishing "something" - hell, ANYTHING ( unemployment numbers supposedly dropping a tenth of a point ) is a reason to celebrate!!

The democrats sent a boy to do a man's job in Washington. He is incompetent. The sooner the dems understand this (and they are slowly coming around) the sooner they can turn the private sector loose and come to the realization that this socialism/communism "experiment" of the past 5 years has been an abject failure.

2006 and 20007 along with 25% of 2008 where some of the best year we ever had
<5% UE
07 we had a defict of 162 billion, by the end the troops had turned the ship in Iraq
the press keeps trying to make this into an event it is not

Cash flow issues run the big boys a ground mid 08
Tarp bailed themout late 08 along with trilllions in 401ks
along came BHO
it is in the same place now as it was then

It really is that simple
