Ralph Nader: Not a Gaffe, But The Real Romney

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32510.htm

Mr. Romney doesn’t understand the double standard where government checks, whether already paid for or not, to people are called “entitlements” while far bigger checks to corporations are called “incentives.” Romney has lost control of his self-consciousness.
The avarice of Romney and his buddies at the strip-mining, job-exporting, bankrupting private equity company called Bain Capital has no bounds.
He is, essentially, a corporation running for president masquerading as an individual.

The New Con: Three-Card-Mario

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/new-con-three-card-mario

“One of the classic short cons, three-card Mario is a new swindle that uses official and misleading statements and trickery to swindle victims out of large amounts of cash. It’s one of the oldest cons around, and dates back to “the shell game,” a similar scheme that was popular during the Middle Ages. The new version uses a Central Bank and a Ponzi Scheme that loans money for debt, substitutes debt for collateral and then returns cash back to the grifter as he pledges the collateral back to those that lent him the money. This new European con has eliminated the use of cards in its play. Investors are the ‘marks’ and governments are the perpetrators.”

What Mitt Romney Also Said: A Glimpse Of The Endgame?

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/what-mitt-romney-also-said-glimpse-endgame
And that is how the Fed effectively took over control of the United States, as without it, it is game over. This is also why the ongoing presidential election is a farce, and has absolutely no bearing or significance for the future of the US, whose true ruler does not reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but instead holds America hostage in a powerful Stockholm Syndrome grip from the deep recesses of the Marriner Eccles building (the Federal Reserve) located, paradoxically, on Constitution Avenue.

Don't worry though: like any "true democracy", the real "leader" of the nation will never be eligible for popular vote. Ever.

The Trouble With Printing Money

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-trouble-printing-money

In order to believe that the Fed or any other central bank can get us back to 'normal,' you have to believe that it is normal for borrowing to exceed income and (here's the kicker) that it can do so forever. Many people cling to the thin hope that somehow the Fed and its related entities across the globe can get us safely back on the yellow line in the above chart, angling forever upwards at 45 degrees.

Well, if it's not possible for you, personally, to forever borrow more than you earn without someday getting into financial difficulty, it is not possible for two or ten or 310 million of you to do so. The math does not change simply because a nation is involved instead of an individual.

...the simple fact remains that money printed out of thin air cannot, has not, and will not ever lead to prosperity. How could it? It arises without any effort at all, no work performed, no goods transformed or lives improved, no land planted and tended well, no services rendered, and no capital formed. It is just conjured into existence.

Prepare For A 15% Food Price Surge, Rabobank Warns

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/prepare-15-food-price-surge-rabobank-warns
The record US, and global, summer drought has come and gone but its aftereffects are only now going to be felt, at least according to a new Rabobank report, which asserts that food prices are about to soar by 15% or more following mass slaughter of farm animals which will cripple supply once the current inventory of meat is exhausted.

Poll: Romney Still Doing Well With Voters Who Have Never Heard Him Speak

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney got a rare piece of good news today, as a new poll showed him faring well among voters who have never heard him speak.

According to the poll, which has a margin of error of three points, Mr. Romney garnered positive ratings among voters who agreed with the statement, “I have never seen Mitt Romney say or do anything.”

The poll showed Mr. Romney doing especially well among certain demographic groups, including people who had been trapped in a mine cave-in or who had recently awoken from a coma.

For Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades, the poll results offer “an amazing opportunity” for the campaign: “We have to identify those voters who have never heard Mitt talk and make sure they never do.”

US Totalitarian State Wins After All: Obama Reinstates NDAA Military Detention Provision

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/us-totalitarian-state-wins-after-all-obama-reinstates-ndaa-military-detention-provision

a lone appeals judge bowed down to the Obama administration late Monday and reauthorized the White House's ability to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or due process. On Monday, the US Justice Department asked for an emergency stay on the previous Chris Hedges'-driven order, and hours later US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Judge Raymond Lohier agreed to intervene and place a hold on the injunction. The stay will remain in effect until at least September 28, when a three-judge appeals court panel is expected to begin addressing the issue. It would appear the total fascist takeover of Amerika is drawing nearer by the day.

Paul Craig Roberts: Libya: 'Death to America'

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32469.htm

SARCASM TURNED ON

Muslims understand that liberation has costs and were content with Washington’s liberating violence until some idiot in California produced an anti-Islamic film. This film, and not Washington’s predations, set the Muslim world alive with "hate America."

On the symbolic date of September 11, the US ambassador to Libya and some other Washington representatives were assassinated in Libya. According to the Presstitute media, the assassins did not kill the Americans because Washington destroyed their country and left them in chaos. The assassins killed the Americans because of an anti-Islamic film for which the murdered American representatives were not responsible.
This is the way Washington works and thinks. It is not Washington’s slaughter of Muslims and control over their societies and political life that produces blowback. It is independent film-makers in California!

Armada of international naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strike

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/9545597/Armada-of-international-naval-power-massing-in-the-Gulf-as-Israel-prepares-an-Iran-strike.html

An armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons programme.

The multi-national naval force in the Gulf includes three US Nimitz class carrier groups, each of which has more aircraft than the entire complement of the Iranian air force.

The carriers are supported by at least 12 battleships, including ballistic missile cruisers, frigates, destroyers and assault ships carrying thousand of US Marines and special forces.

The British component consists of four British minesweepers and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Cardigan Bay, a logistics vessel. HMS Diamond, a brand-new £1billion Type 45 destroyer, one of the most powerful ships in the British fleet, will also be operating in the region.

BILL BONNER: Downside: After the Returns Stop Diminishing

http://dailyreckoning.com/downside-after-the-returns-stop-diminishing/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+dailyreckoning+%28The+Daily+Reckoning%29

If people are 100% free to produce and to spend as they wish, we can presume they get 100% of what they want. Whether it is good or bad, we don’t know. All we know is that prices reflect the relative values that people give to things and that the economy fully expresses their wants and desires. This is, of course, a fantasy. Nowhere on Earth…no time in history…did such an ideal economy exist. Everywhere, in every epoch, there were restrictions, laws, regulations, theft, subsidies, slavery and other distortions. Still, it is worth keeping in mind this IDEAL ECONOMY. Like an honest man or a virtuous woman, it gives us a standard against which to measure our shortcomings.

If this is true it raises the deepest questions about economic policy. It suggests that there shouldn’t be any

RECEIVED THIS FROM MY TAX ACCOUNTANT

Found this interesting,

Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. How nice!

Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans.

This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?

35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

This will take less than thirty seconds to read.

If you agree, please pass it on.

This is an idea that we should address.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... In all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever.

The self-serving must stop.

If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.

This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

DOLLAR VIGILANTE: WHISTLEBLOWERS AND SNITCHES

ANOTHER TOUGH DAY IN AMERICA:

CRIMINALS REWARDED, HEROES JAILED

http://dollarvigilante.com/blog/2012/9/17/another-tough-day-in-america-criminals-rewarded-heroes-jaile.html

The United States government has become the modern-day Stasi, only with a better PR department. From "if you see something, say something," to paying a bounty hunter for a list of names to threaten and extort, there appears no limit on what this government will do to achieve its desired ends or who it will enlist into its conspiracy.

ROMNEY'S MOUTH WIRED SHUT UNTIL NOVEMBER

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In what his campaign described today as a bold strategy to insure victory in the Presidential contest, Republican nominee Mitt Romney will undergo a procedure to have his mouth wired shut until Tuesday, November 6th.

The decision reportedly was made in response to the release earlier in the day of rare video footage showing Mr. Romney saying what he really thinks.

In the video, Mr. Romney blasts the American people for being “insanely obsessed with food, clothing, and shelter,” and asserts that many of them are “too lazy to hide their money overseas.”

At another point in the video, Mr. Romney refers to his own hardscrabble childhood: “I was never handed anything in life. If I wanted to cut a gay kid’s hair off, I had to pin him to the ground myself.”

Romney campaign aides were upbeat about the mouth-wiring procedure today, with some saying they wished they had thought of it months ago.

When asked about the procedure at a campaign stop in Ohio, Mr. Romney said, “Mmmnff ffnn mmfff nnnnnff.”

Obama Gets Foreign-Policy Scolding from Man Who Almost Started War with Britain

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—President Barack Obama received a stern lecture on foreign policy today from a man who almost started a war with Great Britain in July.

“When it comes to dealing with foreign countries, President Obama doesn’t have a clue,” said Mitt Romney, who during a summer visit to London caused the biggest international incident between the United States and Great Britain since the War of 1812. “Only I have what it takes to bring peace to the Middle East.”

Mr. Romney’s statement about his foreign-policy prowess drew an official response from British Prime Minister David Cameron, who in a tersely worded statement, said, “Hah, good one.”

But the G.O.P. nominee pressed on with this theme during several campaign stops today, saying that his trial by fire at the London Olympics had prepared him for foreign-policy challenges ahead.

“Dealing with something as straightforward as the Middle East will be like a day at the beach compared to a volatile tinderbox like England,” he said.

Mr. Romney also laid out his plans for bringing a lasting peace to the Middle East: “Right now, the region is chaos. Entire countries are in uproar, and they are focussing their anger on America. The only way for us to fix that is by attacking Iran.”

In other political news, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a four-year high, making President Obama the crappiest socialist in history.

It’s Us or the Nukes

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32454.htm

There are three barriers to ridding the world of nuclear weapons. First, our governments don’t represent us and will have to be compelled to act when and if we get our act together.

Second, people imagine we’re safer spreading nukes around the globe by the thousands than we would be eliminating them while a few rogue non-state terrorists hang onto some. This is crazy, of course. An arsenal of nukes doesn’t discourage a terrorist. Nor can it discourage a state any more than can the non-nuclear weapons capable of complete devastation.

Third, people fantasize that there are advantages to nuclear energy that outweigh the problem of its technological vicinity to nuclear weaponry. There are not.

Dear CIGAs,

What this article really said, if you have the eyes to see it, is that China has a system in place to offset the effect of being shut out of the SWIFT system, the economic nuclear weapon of the West. That proves that the premature threat and use of the SWIFT system against Iran will have rendered this economic weapon useless in the future. The mistake the West made prematurely using the economic weapon, the SWIFT system, will come back to haunt the West as extremely expensive. Had this not been used prematurely, it could have shut down major nation’s economic processes by electronically deleting the enemy from the SWIFT system. Therefore the taking and making of settlement on international transaction would have fallen back on only the gold a nation had. Everyone had gotten lazy so both enemies and friends were settling international transactions on SWIFT. History will see this as the mistake of the century. Now all opposed to each other have or are developing their own electronic payment system free of SWIFT.

Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) provides a network that enables financial institutions worldwide to send and receive information about financial transactions in a secure, standardized and reliable environment. SWIFT also markets software and services to financial institutions, much of it for use on the SWIFTNet Network, and ISO 9362 bank identifier codes (BICs) are popularly known as "SWIFT codes".

The chairman of SWIFT is Yawar Shah, and the CEO is Gottfried Leibbrandt, who is from the Netherlands.

The majority of international interbank messages use the SWIFT network. As of September 2010, SWIFT linked more than 9,000 financial institutions in 209 countries and territories, who were exchanging an average of over 15 million messages per day (compared to an average of 2.4 million daily messages in 1995).[1] SWIFT transports financial messages in a highly secure way but does not hold accounts for its members and does not perform any form of clearing or settlement.

Cowardice Is Destroying America

http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-09-15/cowardice-destroying-america
Because of the cowardice of the government and the people to get tough and throw Wall Street fraud-mongers in jail (or even to shut off the spigot of never-ending bailouts), our economy has been destroyed.

Weekly Update for 9/15/2012

Posted on September 15, 2012

Germany’s Top Court Gives Green Light

Germany’s top constitutional court, as expected, rejected efforts to block a permanent Eurozone rescue fund. They dismissed motions that sought to block the European Stability Mechanism but did rule that their contribution of $240 billion could not be increased without legislative approval. Germany was the last county to ratify the permanent rescue fund which is now schedule to be setup on Oct 8^th. The ESM will increase the overall additional aid capacity to 500 billion euros from the 148 billion euros left in the temporary fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, due to be phased out in mid-2013.

Helicopter Ben Lives Up to His Name

The Federal Reserve gave the markets even more than they were expecting on Wednesday by saying they will not only start a third round of quantitative easing but also that the purchases will be open in nature. They will buy 40 billion in mortgage debt per month until they see improvements in the economy. They also said that they expect to keep short term interest rates near zero until 2015. Share markets rallied around the world with the DOW reaching levels not seen since 2007 and the Nasdaq reaching levels not seen in 12 years. The metals, oil, and other commodities all rallied as well. One market that did not rally was US treasuries, the thirty year had its worst week in three years selling off more than 3%.

CPI Rises More Than Expected

The US consumer price index rose .6% in August higher than expected and its biggest monthly increase in three years. Much of the increase came from higher energy prices, with the core CPI rising just .1% for the month, but the core rate did increase 1.9% year over year which is very close to the Fed’s target inflation rate of 2%.

Market Pressure Easing on Spain But Political Pressure Ramping Up

The Eurozone finance ministers met on Friday to discuss possible financial help for Spain and Greece. Some of the funding pressure that has been put on Spain by the bond markets has decreased since the ECB announcement of their bond buying program as Spanish 10 year yields have fell to 5.58%. However, political pressure from the Eurozone toward Spain to apply for aid and except the conditions that come along with the bond buying program has ramped up.
