The September Employment Rate is 90%
By Robert Singer
The U.S. Department of Labor Official Employment rate in September 2009 is now 90% (Unofficial rate is 75%).
And for those Americans who are still employed, they will find it harder to get that sweet deal on a new car because auto dealers won’t be competing with each other now that Brian Deese, special assistant to president Obama for economic policy made the decision (not the Chrysler bankruptcy judge), to close dealerships without regard to profitability.
Deese, age 31, in his first government position, shuffles back and forth from the West Wing to the Treasury Department dismantling the US Auto Industry and rewriting the rules of American “capitalism”. [1]
Abbas: The Betraying President
By Dr. Elias Akleh
In every occupation one finds a small group of occupied native puppets, who would betray and oppress their own people for the sake of fake political power positions and money granted by the occupier. As we find puppet President Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, and puppet President Jalal Talabani in Iraq, we also find puppet President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank of Israeli occupied Palestine.
In my March 4th, 2008 article I summarized the puppetry in occupied Palestine as the following:
“On the Arab side the first and most prominent traitor to the Palestinians is their President Mahmoud Abbas and his gang, who hijacked and abused Fatah movement for their own political and financial gains. Since his appointment as Palestinian Prime Minister in March 2003 had been enforced on Arafat, Abbas had shown inclinations towards American and Israeli policies even when they were harmful to his people. He exhibited opposition to Palestinian resistance groups, which became more prominent after being elected as President through the help of Israel and the US. He routinely described Palestinian resistance, especially that of Hamas, as harmful and silly, and had clamped down on them. Through his chief of security, Mohammad Dahlan, Abbas tried to cripple the democratically elected Hamas government and to sabotage its work, which led to Hamas’ purging of Gaza Strip. Abbas dissolved Hamas government and appointed a new one severing Gaza Strip from the West Bank. He refused to negotiate with Hamas government and negotiated instead with Israel hoping for the downfall of Hamas. When Hamas survived and gained more popularity Abbas recently accused Hamas of harboring Al-Qaeda elements thus giving Israel an open invitation and a justification to attack Gaza to get rid of Hamas.”
FORECLOSURES ACCELERATE AS BANKERS LUXURIATE
Allen L Roland
Bankers have greedily taken their bonuses and are literally walking away from a new tsunami of foreclosures which may lead to a fiscal doomsday for America:
As Martin Weiss, Money and Markets, reported on October 5th ~ " Last year, banks provided new credit at the annual pace of $472.4 billion in the first quarter and $86.7 billion in the second. This year, they're not providing ANY new credit ~ they're actually LIQUIDATING loans at the rate of $857.2 billion in the first quarter and $931.3 billion in the second. So if you're running a business, you may want to think twice before asking your bank for more money. Instead, they may decide to TAKE BACK the money they've already loaned you ! "
The Generation Abyss
Andrew Lehman
In the 1960s, there was the "Generation Gap." Youth were perceived by themselves, their parents and society at large as feeling alienated from their parents and society. Several new forces had emerged that were embraced by youth, forces that felt foreign to older folks. Nonmonogamous premarriage behavior was reveled in. Promiscuity was respected. The Pill and an emerging woman's movement made this possible. Drugs were embraced as techniques to acquire insight about the self. Music grew to become an opportunity to realize and reveal far more about the self than a desire for a mate. The draft was vilified. Both "small is beautiful" and a new holism emerged that embraced both immediate community and global community as necessary to a balanced whole.
Still, most of the population was not above a good story. Reagan was elected on the premise that lower taxes meant more government services. Reagan proclaimed that empowering the wealthy would result in increasing the resources of those with no money. The Generation Gap seemed to decrease as Americans almost universally focused on the more and more difficult task of maintaining an established lifestyle as resources congregated with fewer and fewer people.
Godmen and the Sheeple
By: Peter Chamberlin
The study of the mind and the study of the human brain as a mechanism have merged in the theories of the mind manipulators, men who are determined to change the mind of man (and with it the entire human race), using the knowledge that has been gained.
Has it always been human destiny that mankind would eventually reach a point of intellectual growth where our scientific discoveries could give us the ability to alter our evolutionary path? Or has the seemingly sudden acquisition of that capability arisen as the result of our leaders tapping into an unnatural alternative stream of knowledge because of a decision made long ago to continue the mind sciences started by Nazi scientists? Was it inevitable, because of a decision made for our own good, by God in all His wisdom, that the next step in mankind’s evolution be made possible through a science based on torture?
OBAMA'S NOBEL PRIZE / WARS FOR PEACE
Allen L Roland
The Global elite have given Europe's seal of approval, with Obama's preemptive Nobel Peace prize, for Obama's continued wars and occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan as well as attacks on Pakistan ~ which are now being seen as legitimate Orwellian Wars for Peace:
As George Orwell knowingly wrote ~ War is peace, Freedom is slavery and Ignorance is strength and nowhere is this more apparent than President Obama's selection by the Global Elite as the winner of the Nobel Peace prize. This award thus legitimizes Obama's illegal wars and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the attacks on Pakistan as necessary wars for peace, further enslaving the people of those countries and strengthening the ignorance of the public ~ who will now begin to believe, as Orwell predicted, that war is peace.
Father of the Lobotomy
John McManamy
Thinking of giving someone a piece of your mind? Stay clear of Walter Freeman.
The field of mental health suffers no shortage of weird and offbeat and arguably despicable characters, but the Washington Post several years ago outdid itself for its story on Walter Freeman, father of the lobotomy. Sample this lurid paragraph for starters:
"Walter Freeman lifted the patient's eyelid and inserted an ice pick-like instrument called a leucotome through a tear duct. A few taps with a surgical hammer breached the bone. Freeman took a position behind the patient's head, pushed the leucotome about an inch and a half into the frontal lobe of the patient's brain, and moved the sharp tip back and forth. Then he repeated the process with the other eye socket."
Blogger Didn't Spend Money For 9 Years
The Seferm Post
Daniel Suelo, 48, has been living without money or any barter system, and no food stamps or government help, for the past nine years. While in Ecuador on a Peace Corps mission, he witnessed a rural community acquire increased monetary wealth through farming and shift their traditional lifestyle towards a diet of unhealthy, processed food and a newfound addiction to television.
The experience led Suelo on a spiritual quest that realized itself in India, where he was particularly moved by the Sadhus, wandering monks who renounce all money and possessions. He made the conscious decision to return home, quit his job, and carve out a life without money.
As he put it, “I simply got tired of being unreal. Money is one of those intriguing things that seem real and functional because two or more people believe it is real and functional.”
An Extension of Her Motherhood: Sherry Carpenter - Journalist and Animal Care Provider
by Walter Brasch
Ask Sherry Carpenter of Bloomsburg, Pa., anything about pets--any species, any breed--and she'll cheerfully give you the answer or find it for you. Just don't expect it to be a short conversation. She'll answer your question, then others you may not have asked, then others you didn't even know you needed to ask, leaping transitions of thought as quickly as she's available to help.
"As long as I'm talking, I'm always learning about others," she says. But, her rambling conversations are really a cover to keep others from probing too much into her life--"we're very private people," she says about her family. But, have a problem, especially about pets, and she'll talk all night if she has to, and she's not shy about talking about her English Springer Spaniels, three of whom were American Kennel Club champions.
