Cyprus

And the winner is....

We've all heard about it, the EU demanding that Cyprus bank accounts be plundered, raided, taxed - whatever you wish to call it - to help save the bankers.

Reality check: Who really gives a damn about Cyprus other than some Russian criminals?

Nobody.

The real goal in this little exercise on Cyprus is to study the American reaction to the idea, because the real target is plundering the 50 trillion in assets of the American retirement funds.

Raiding bank accounts is small potatoes by comparison.

If Americans sit idly by while the EU plunders Europe, the next target is the real plum, our retirement accounts, your 401K. You can't just run to the bank and pull it out like the money in your checking/savings accounts.

The retirement assets are sitting ducks... Multi-trillion dollar sitting ducks.

Another reason why the DHS has bought 1.5 billion rounds of ammo, those 2,700 MPAV's, built all those camps and bought all those coffins... to make sure they can get away with it.

One may ask - if they end up destroying the value of world's currencies, won't they end up with mountains of toilet paper? They would - if they kept the paper money. Who do you think is buying up all the worlds gold? In multi-ton quantities? They don't give a rats hind end about the paper stuff... They are using it to buy GOLD, silver, diamonds, land, developed properties, you know... real assets

Duh.

There's only a few of those despicable cretins worldwide. They will, given the chance, plunder and destroy everything. Compared to them, Al Quaeda is less than a buzzing gnat. Why can't Obama  use a few of our drones on them?

The fool could save the world. but he won't. As they say- He's their bitch.

The Coming Confrontation

Take a look at the below real-life photo:

This is not a  made for TV drama. But it is a preview.. and a warning.

The photo shows a really angry man - an ordinary civilian - facing the reality of a governments only solution to a disastrous mess it has created: A line of men protected by body armor, face shields, assault weapons, night sticks, tear gas,  even tanks, and a shiny, pretty badge that allows them to do anything - legal or illegal - it matters not.

And yet, these "honorable" government agents are afraid to show their faces. They hide behind their black masks. They live in fear for themselves from the very people they are pretending to protect and serve. They will gas you, beat you, shoot you, knock your teeth out, kick you when you're down, and will later laugh and joke about it all with their fellow black-clad "men of pride and honor" about how they served it up big time to the "perps".

You know this to be true, you have seen it on the news countless times.

But they haven't the courage to show you who they are. They know - deep down inside - if the public knows who they are: Knows their face, knows their name, knows where they live - their power will be gone... and the fear they try to instill will turn to great anger.

This sort of thing is indeed coming to a city near you... and soon.

Read the following:

http://investmentwatchblog.com/mark-levin-government-is-simulating-the-collapse-of-our-financial-system-the-collapse-of-our-society-and-the-potential-for-widespread-violence/

The government is preparing for this very thing.

In the photo above, it's one man against a line of heavily-armed and armored pawns of an out-of-control rogue government. It could have been taken  anywhere in the world today - Greece, France, Italy, England, America - anyplace where the government has ruined their respective nation, pillaged their people's money, destroyed their assets, and are now terrified of the inevitable consequences: The coming day of reckoning.

When that day arrives, that same line of of G-men protected by body armor, face shields, assault weapons, night sticks, tear gas, even tanks, all with a shiny, pretty badge given them by a politician that claims they can do anything - legal or illegal - will be there, ready to do what they have been trained to do - beat, kill, main - whatever it takes to protect not the people, not the nation, but the politician who empowered them..

But when that moment comes, they won't be facing one lone, unarmed angry man. They will be facing hundreds of thousands of angry men, men who will no longer back down one inch, men who will no longer confront that line of black-clad and black facemasked G-men unarmed.

Do I want this to happen? No freaking way. The civilization we have built, everything we have worked for, will be gone in an instant. But do I see it coming? Yes. The rule of law will vanish because, when push comes to shove, the government does not have the manpower to maintain order... not even close. Every street in every major city will become a no mans land, every small hamlet and town a death trap for outsiders.

How long will it last?

Not hours, not days. It will last weeks. Months. Perhaps years.

Have your camera handy. The photos you take will be epic.

Take one last look at the above photo. I would not be a bit surprised if that G-man on the left was about to mess up his black britches... He's facing a real man who isn't a bit afraid of him. But if Mr. G-man was thinking he was too tough and too well trained to be afraid, then he's a fool.

Horse Dung And The Higgs Boson

Really?

A pretty drawing for a far-fetched claim. That's about all.

GENEVA (AP) - The search is all but over for a subatomic particle that is a crucial building block of the universe. Physicists announced Thursday they believe they have discovered the subatomic particle predicted nearly a half-century ago, which will go a long way toward explaining what gives electrons and all matter in the universe size and shape.

CERN's atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider, has been creating high-energy collisions of protons to investigate how the universe came to be the way it is.

Read more: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20130314/DA50T1382.html

News flash:

The Hadron collider does not have the muscle necessary to do the job. Only the cancelled Superconducting Supercollider that was being being built in Texas was potentially powerful enough. The SSC was being built as a 40Tev machine for the explicit purpose of finding the Higgs Boson. The Hadron collider is nowhere near that energy level. It's always been my view that the Hadron collider was a  misuse of scarce research money.

Whatever these boys at CERN have discovered, I believe they know - deep down inside - that whatever it is they have "discovered" isn't really what they claim.

But they have to come up with something...  or risk losing funding.

You Get What You Pay For

Carnival Cruise Lines needs to learn that.

A cruise is only as successful as its crew.

 

"CNN-A Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Dream became a nightmare for some passengers, a month after a fire crippled another Carnival ship in the Gulf of Mexico.

Several Dream passengers contacted CNN, telling stories of power outages and overflowing toilets, all while docked in port at Philipsburg, St. Maarten, in the eastern Caribbean."

 Read more: http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/14/travel/cruise-ship-trouble/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

 

These cruse ships have hundreds of crew members. What most people do not realize is that these crew members are mostly foreign - often non-English speaking - very often uneducated and low paid incompetents that took the job nobody else wanted because of the crummy pay.

That's not too disastrous if they are dressed up in pretty uniforms and only do things like wait tables and make up beds. But you can't hand them a miocrometer and tell them to check the wear on a critical bearing or shaft in a generator.

You can't keep a 100,000 ton liner running properly with a maintenance crew that consists mostly of low paid should-be farm workers. A ship may have a highly trained and educated  individual in charge of the ships engines, generators, pumps... all those tricky and complicated gadgets that keep a ship alive... but the grunt level mechanics are about as proficient as a cowblood-drinking primitive.

That's why  these ships have failing systems. Their maintenance people are the equivalent a bunch of untrained monkeys, generally shirking off preventative maintenance and then falsifying the records about what they did... or didn't do. Not all of the ships, but which ones are quite obvious.

Paint them white, make them all pretty and shiny, but if the maintenance crew looks like it wants peanuts and bananas for lunch - and thinks that a crescent wrench is something the moon does occasionally - don't get on board.

This is going to continue until the cruise line owners realize that ship maintenance requires skilled technicians and craftsmen, not a bunch of underpaid ignorant idiots under the leadership of some overpaid college-trained "expert".



 

Yet Another Indicator...

... of government preparations:

Smallpox vaccine. But not for you.

I'm no longer surprised:

"The United States government is buying enough of a new smallpox medicine to treat two million people in the event of a bioterrorism attack, and took delivery of the first shipment of it last week. But the purchase has set off a debate about the lucrative contract, with some experts saying the government is buying too much of the drug at too high a price."

Read more: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/13/health/us-stockpiles-smallpox-drug-in-case-of-bioterror-attack.html?_r=0

There is more than 300 million of us, but none of us will ever see a single dose of that medicine.

These 2 million doses of medicine being bought with our tax dollars at "too high a price" is for the elites, the insiders, the privileged, and those who now control the government.

None of these shots are for you or your loved ones. It's all for them.

The government is obviously preparing for some sort of major calamity, and to me this vaccine purchase is yet another indicator of what the Washington think tanks might be thinking,  They - apparently - expect some sort of bio-attack or  perhaps a disastrous medical condition in the general public, possibly caused by lack of food, water and/or sanitary conditions, and they are providing protection for themselves.

Should the SHTF because of an economic collapse, or perhaps a genuine bio-attack on some of our major cities, we all would truly be on our own. Anyone expecting help and protection from the government will be dead long before the people running the government had the ability to reach out beyond themselves.

And that's assuming they would even want to reach out. Whatever it is they seem to be planing for has the potential to  reduce the population by several tens of millions, mostly the uneducated, the ignorant, the aged, the welfare/food stamp millions, and even a few million illegals, all at once.

That would certainly solve the spending problem we now face. And it's just the sort of theoritical "workable solution" one could expect from the Washington crowd, the very same folks that have caused all our really big problems to begin with.

Obamacare Hits Home

Obamacare. The welcome mat is NOT out.

The long arm of Obamacare has reached my family.

I  have long known and understood that Obama's plans for every one's medical care would eventually find their way into my life, but not so soon... or so heavy-handed.

Without doing into the lurid details, one of the family has been positively identified with a stage 2B lower abdominal cavity cancer. The doctors involved with planning and executing the treatment plan need a CAT scan to determine the best and most accurate path for the radiation treatment machine to attack the cancer and avoid damaging nearby very sensitive organs.

They are not guessing about this cancer.They know it's there, that it's growing and needs immediate attention to give us even a 70% chance of a cure.

However, now we have these "panels" that have to decide if the CAT scan is actually necessary, or if the request is just another doctors way of increasing business and profit.

So, while this cancer grows, a panel of politically appointed and remote bureaucrats - now required by Obamacare -  are going to take days pontificating about the necessity of a CAT scan for a confirmed cancer patient so treatment can begin.

Let me tell you: Watching this family member fighting the pain and fear of this calamity - wondering why the treatments cannot begin yet - is very difficult.

We have - quite suddenly and unexpectedly - been dragged into the real world of Obama and his fellow  ideologues.

It is not a good place.

   

Fred Tells It Like It Is..Bluntly

Fred Reed tells us exactly why we are in the mess we are in:

Fred Reed. He's pretty damned observant

Sez Fred:

"The United States is the most hated country in the world, followed closely by Israel, and then by nobody. Why? Why not Ecuador? China? Russia? East Timor? The hostility puzzles many Americans, who genuinely believe their country to be a force for good, a pillar of democracy, a defender of human rights.

To the rest of the world, none of this is even close."

http://www.fredoneverything.net/Abroad.shtml

If you really want to know the why of everything in America spiraling downward, go read it.

Like so many of us, he sees our situation and why we are in it, but offers no ideas for a solution. Consider his remarks to be at least 95% spot on. 

You'll need to do a bit of reading between the lines to determine the perpetrators, but it's basically all there.

Unfortunately - As Desert Cat remarks - most of us will remain rooted firmly in denial.

Don't Worry... Be Happy

Galt-in-Da-Box says worrying about the sunspot is minor compared to what could come our way at any time, namely, a really big rock:

Large asteroid impact on earth. Goodbye everybody

Something not quite that big once hit Mars and blew away it's atmosphere. The MOLA, (Mars Orbital Laser Altimeter)  revealed the crater left behind from this unbelievable impact. Before it hit, Mars had an atmosphere and lots of liquid water similar to earth today. With the atmosphere gone, the water literally boiled away into space.

On the below picture, you can easily see where the impact occurred, and where Mars had it seas and oceans at one time. The lower the elevation, the darker blue, the higher the elevation, the more red. The deepest place on Mars today is where the asteroid hit.

Mars and its nemesis vividly displayed

 

So... such an event can really happen. The universe does not care and if it happened to earth, who - or what - in the universe would even notice?

Only us. But what a show it would be while it lasted. Don't bother taking photographs, there would be no one left to look at them.

Compared to a setback like this, Obama and all his co-conspirators are far less than a flea's fart in the wind.

It's all relative.

So don't worry... be happy.

NASA Worried About The Sun

NASA is worried about the sudden reduction of sunspots during what is supposed to be the maximum during an 11-year cycle.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2290289/NASA-warns-unexpected-happening-Sun-year-supposed-peak-sunspot-cycle.html

However, take a gander at the below composite:

A typical solar flare... of which we can do nothing, zip, nada.

 

Earth is something like 96 million miles away from the sun, not the distance indicated in the above graphic. But you can see the size of a typical solar flare compared to the size of the earth, and if a flare like that was headed straight for earth, what good would worrying about it do?

96 million miles is a goodly distance to reduce the damage from a large flare - the inverse square law and all that -  but the bottom line is if the sun decided to go bang, we would vanish in an instant, and all that worry and ulcer-producing stress would have been for nothing.

Kinda makes you laugh at egomaniacs like Obama and McCain,  who think they can control everything.

Nice photograph though.

A Note To Senator John McCain

Senator John McCain has made very public his great disapproval of Senator Rand Paul's right to conduct a filibuster at the United States Senate.

Appropriate photograph of a Faux American. 

Yes, Mr. McCain went through  a terrible time as a POW in another one of our undeclared wars, but his continually taking it out on us for his misfortune is getting old. Americas has - in general - put up with this neocon warmonger because of his once war-hero status, but he's used that up long ago.

So, I just sent this to his office in Washington:

* * * * * * * * * *

Dear Senator McCain:

I would like to thank you for your solid, unshakable and totally reliable support of all things military and warlike, including all those activities of threat and aggression to anyone, anywhere that disagrees with your neocon belief system. You have been an inspiration to every living human being on earth, except those few hundred thousand no-account sub-humans that died under the far-reaching arm of the American war machine.

I would like to thank you for your service to the State over the years, along with every other Jewish American and Israeli still alive today. The state I am referring to is - of course - the illegal State of Israel.

I would like to thank you for a career has been long - perhaps too long - and highly notable due to your predictable refusal to make important national decisions based on the rule of law and the United States Constitution, decisions so often based solely on what helps the State of Israel survive... regardless of the long term costs to America.

Congratulations and kudos to you for your steadfast support of a foreign policy engineered to destroy America.

You have done so much for us all, or perhaps I should say to us all.

Many thanks are due to you.

It may now be time for you to retire and take a well deserved rest at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I can think of no other Senator from Arizona that deserves one more.

Thank you again.

It won't take many more dedicated and hard-working Senators such as you to finish the neocon and Progressive/Socialist goal of destroying the American Republic.

Good job. Well done.

And thanks again.

Just don't ever visit Texas. You just won't feel comfortable around the many real Americans that live here.
