The American Ruling Class

[Bizzy]

I agree that this pumpkin sculpture is quite unique, but once again find myself asking: What in the world does this have to do with the topic of this thread??

Rick

Hi Rick
I think the relevance is one of two things...

The sculptor is using the pumpkins to push sumbliminal messages onto the unsuccepecting public like"vote for Obama"


Or he is storing the guts from the pumpkins incase the government out laws pumpkins becuase of the recent pumpkin debate in the senate
If it isnt one of those reasons then I dont have a clue either.

Good one, Bizzy

Yeah, can't see the relevence, either. Neat sculpture, yse. Relevence, no. It reminds me of the kind of thing I would get sent in an e-mail; you know, how some people are addicted to forwarding, and once you get on their list, they keep forwarding you, (and any other unfortunates foolish enough to give them their e-mails), all this,...stuff, without any regard to whether you want to see it, or whether it has any relevence,.....hmmmmm, I guess now we know what happens to such addicts, when everyone eventually blocks their e-mail address, and stops responding.

They go on forums, to continue to feed their addiction! Good on you, Rick, for saying "Enough is enough!". If it ain't relevent, start your OWN thread, on neat carved pumpkins, or orchestra organising, or whatever the F*ck else you want, but get it out of this thread, if it ain't relevent to the topic.

As for the 'talk is cheap' comment, i don't know what you been smokin, but yer otter share! Jim

1 step closer

Just moved a step closer, to getting out of the city; bought 2 older travel trailers.A little minor fix-up, and I'll be able to move one into a park, here in the city, and reduce our rent by 1/2.Take the 'savings', and put that into fixing up both, to be 'self-contained', i.e. 'boondock ready'.

Then, again, applying the savings to buying some land I know of, at about 6000' elevation, about 20 min. drive from a small town, where my wife should be able to find some work. (I'm disabled). Initially we'll put the other trailer in a park at a location around 2000' elevation, and eventually buy a piece of land at that elevation.

The idea is to have a location to stay at from May to October, and from November to April. And to reduce our 'overhead' to a minimum, for the time when everything goes over the cliff. Anyway, I'm a happy camper, and will be, in the future! Jim

Oh, and the 'relevence' is I'm hoping to get us to a point where the American ruling class has minimal influence on us.

Hi Jim
Getting out of th e city is a very smart move!!!
We still live in the city township but have a small secluded hunting camp 20 minutes away incase things go south here.
Fortunately most of my neighbors by the camp are like miinded so we have a great group of people to rely on for when the city gets too bad.

We are prepared, so i Guess my stock pile of food and ammo is an action not words

ACORN: Puppet Master of Occupy Wall Street
The Working Families Party, an infamous ACORN front group notorious for corruption, was instrumental in organizing the Occupy Wall Street protests, according to radical journalist Laura Flanders of Free Speech TV.

The influence of ACORN on the Wall Street protests should have been clear by the unhinged nature of much of the demonstrations. The question is really only whether the radical outfit will push the mob into more and more extreme behavior. Determining the answer to this question will likely not be pleasant.

Hi Al
Thanks for sharing.
It doesnt surprise me that some marxist Obama supporter from Acorn is behind the "occupy" movement.

Who Rules America: An Investment Manager's View on the Top 1%

The Upper Half of the Top 1%

Membership in this elite group is likely to come from being involved in some aspect of the financial services or banking industry, real estate development involved with those industries, or government contracting. Some hard working and clever physicians and attorneys can acquire as much as $15M-$20M before retirement but they are rare. Those in the top 0.5% have incomes over $500k if working and a net worth over $1.8M if retired. The higher we go up into the top 0.5% the more likely it is that their wealth is in some way tied to the investment industry and borrowed money than from personally selling goods or services or labor as do most in the bottom 99.5%. They are much more likely to have built their net worth from stock options and capital gains in stocks and real estate and private business sales, not from income which is taxed at a much higher rate. These opportunities are largely unavailable to the bottom 99.5%.

Recently, I spoke with a younger client who retired from a major investment bank in her early thirties, net worth around $8M. We can estimate that she had to earn somewhere around twice that, or $14M-$16M, in order to keep $8M after taxes and live well along the way, an impressive accomplishment by such an early age. Since I knew she held a critical view of investment banking, I asked if her colleagues talked about or understood how much damage was created in the broader economy from their activities. Her answer was that no one talks about it in public but almost all understood and were unbelievably cynical, hoping to exit the system when they became rich enough.

And now the US Big Banksters backup the European Scam with the Fed, as far as what, as that they can type Digits into her her Computers? Because the current Debt can allready not be payed back.


HOLY BAILOUT - Federal Reserve Now Backstopping $75 Trillion Of Bank Of America's Derivatives*Trades - Home - The Daily Bail

This story from Bloomberg just hit the wires this morning. Bank of America is shifting derivatives in its Merrill investment banking unit to its depository arm, which has access to the Fed discount window and is protected by the FDIC.

This means that the investment bank's European derivatives exposure is now backstopped by U.S. taxpayers. Bank of America didn't get regulatory approval to do this, they just did it at the request of frightened counterparties. Now the Fed and the FDIC are fighting as to whether this was sound. The Fed wants to "give relief" to the bank holding company, which is under heavy pressure.

This is a direct transfer of risk to the taxpayer done by the bank without approval by regulators and without public input. You will also read below that JP Morgan is apparently doing the same thing with $79 trillion of notional derivatives guaranteed by the FDIC and Federal Reserve.

What this means for you is that when Europe finally implodes and banks fail, U.S. taxpayers will hold the bag for trillions in CDS insurance contracts sold by Bank of America and JP Morgan. Even worse, the total exposure is unknown because Wall Street successfully lobbied during Dodd-Frank passage so that no central exchange would exist keeping track of net derivative exposure.

This is a recipe for Armageddon. Bernanke is absolutely insane. No wonder Geithner has been hopping all over Europe begging and cajoling leaders to put together a massive bailout of troubled banks. His worst nightmare is Eurozone bank defaults leading to the collapse of the large U.S. banks who have been happily selling default insurance on European banks since the crisis began.

Excerpt:

Bank of America Corp. (BAC), hit by a credit downgrade last month, has moved derivatives from its Merrill Lynch unit to a subsidiary flush with insured deposits, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. disagree over the transfers, which are being requested by
