And, he’s right. Don’t disappear. I have long been in the same boat. Maybe people agree with my rants and maybe not, but I won’t be silenced. Hang in there Dennis. We need all the grumps we can get.

[Seconded.]

Same old bankster blackmail: “do what we want, or we will crash this sucker right now.” And the the Republicrats will cave yet again. On the other hand, the longer banksters and pols keep spending money that isn’t there, the worse the ultimate crash will be. Leading to Civil War and a complete system re-set. So it’s all good.

Progressives have decided, by whatever process they substitute for reason, that One World Order is the next step of “progress”.

Because debt is the road to servitude (see Ireland), America must be indebted. We may safely assume malice rather than ignorance, in that our overlords in D.C. have both means and an inarguable motive.

2. I am on the verge of disappearing having neither the time, money, or energy to continue the fight. [I hope you keep up your presence here on BAB.]

We who wish to function under a rational system of rights are facing both the fascists of society as well as the total anarchists of society.

THANK YOU … FOR ALLOWING THE WIZARD OF THE RESERVE TO WORK HIS MAGIC UPON THIS COUNTRY AND DRIVE ITS DEMISE.

MERDE!

Obama and gang are playing to the gormless crowd, pinning the blame for their latest faux crisis on Toomey, Ryan and company. Meanwhile, they will continue huffing and puffing into the debt balloon. When it finally bursts, the media will feature “far right extremists” brandishing a pin.

Obama will eagerly come to the rescue. He’ll bypass Congress and appeal directly to the mousey masses, who will gladly endorse any scheme — no matter how dictatorial — so long as grocery shelves are stocked with pet food and national guard armories with “law and order.”

Sixty years ago, despite a soaring federal debt, not a man in this war-weary country would have stomached such talk, even though they’d seen it play out firsthand in Italy and Germany. “Not in America!” they’d scoff.

Today the spineless sons and grandsons of these same men will stomach almost any outrage in the name of “security.”

At least the coming coup d’etat will be well-documented on videotape.

By the way, in researching Geithner’s academic credentials, I ran across this Wikipedia entry:

“Geithner was born in Brooklyn, New York, but spent most of his childhood in other countries, including present-day Zimbabwe, Zambia, India, and Thailand where he completed high school at the International School Bangkok…he studied Mandarin at Peking University in 1981 and at Beijing Normal University in 1982…He earned an M.A. in international economics and East Asian studies from Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies in 1985…His father, Peter F. Geithner, was the director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation in New York in the 1990s. During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation’s microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham Soetoro, President Barack Obama’s mother, and they met in person at least once.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geithner

A coincidence worthy of Glenn Beck’s blackboard.

When the circle of economic and political thuggery is closed, it is amazing how we find elitist graduates of Johns Hopkins University standing shoulder to shoulder with common Marxist lunatics.

With the irrational herd mentality of both the media and the financial markets, I would be a bit leery than to just “f**k” with the status quo. What needs to be done are scheduled phase-outs of federal programs with most undergoing rapid phased outs (1-5 years) and some (SS & Medicare) requiring longer term elimination.
