Melt Down Or Profits Up?

So what about this "financial crisis?" Who started it, why and what do they gain? As, said and said across the media and by politicians, "plenty of blame to go around," but wait... Executives still jet around and banksters are on lavish paid vacations. So what could be going on in the background?? It is just good old fashioned GREED... I wrote earlier about the oil industry and now here I go with finance. As long as individuals and businesses need money, there will be some others who lay in wait to pad their own pockets. Take your pick as to whom these villains may be. Just add unscrupulous to their name... Sure, business is business and financial "institutions," need to get paid too. I like that word, "institution," don't you, it sounds so rock solid... Guess that is why they chose to use it. Getting paid for services rendered is one thing but as the TV show reporter says, "give me a break." One thing that has gone way wrong is the ability of banks and other money companies to gobble up others. As in the rest of corporate business, when powerful fish eat too many other less powerful fish they get an upset stomach and spit up on everyone around. In other words, their gluttonous greed poisons everyone. I could go on and on about this but I will close for now with just one more thought. My thought is, what do you think about all of this so called financial crisis. Contact me at my contact link or comment below.

Scan Me Up "Scotty"

Recently I watched a mini-series on PBS television where the fictional theme of the show was England in the not too distant future. In this future was a total police state where everyone was constantly and completely monitored. Citizens would be stopped on the streets and their hand scanned for identification. Instantly the police could know everything about the person being scanned. If that person was not liked for any reason by the government, they were detained and or arrested. Cameras with face recognition software were everywhere, including hidden in homes and businesses. People could not travel anywhere, even in their own city without permission. Well folks, welcome to that future, today... Now there is a fingerprint and palm scanner that is like the one in that "fictional" show. You can see one in the photo above. Very soon a small one, about the size of a cell phone, and wireless will be introduced. Face recognition cameras are being installed everywhere as I write this. Legislation giving birth to the US "National Id Card" with it's smart chip for tracking has been passed. This Id card will be everywhere in about 2010 to 2012.

Bright Congressional Ideas

Photo:
King Gov. Site


Rep. Peter King of New York, shown above, has introduced a bill,H.R.414 the Camera Phone Predator Alert Act, to congress that would make it mandatory for new camera phones to make a sound when a photo is taken... Come on, are there not more pressing issues? This is a man that likes to re-arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic and wants you to stay on board to hear the band play... He also voted yes on January 22, 2009 to H RES 58 which was the ALL IMPORTANT issue of: "Commending the University of Florida Gators for winning the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game." Along with the rest of congress, he is right on top of things important to the USA...

Dumb and Dumber

Dumb and Dumber should be the new name for Washington, DC. Thanks be that DC is not a State because then we would have to take them seriously... When the founders conceived the Territory of Columbia, now known as the District of Columbia, it was intended only to be a central military base for the defense of the union and nothing more. After all, DC is only a ten mile square. So what went wrong??? Given enough time and neglect, most anything can get out of hand. My title and theme of Dumb and Dumber springs both from a reference to the idiots that "govern" from there and to the ignorant public who let them lord over them. The true founders of the union had had their fill of powerful central governments and certainly did not intend to form another one. It was and is people being led down the garden path by those who do not believe in "We The People" that has those founders spinning in their graves. By founders, I do not mean the "classic" ones that are held up and quoted daily. The founders that I speak of were the original ones that sat next to fireplaces in taverns and private homes dreaming and forming ideas for a totally new union. They did this long before the Revolution because even by the time of the war to break with Brittan, certain people were already tampering with the original intent for the union. The U.S. Constitution even set the groundwork for the mess the union is in today. In the case of the Territory of Columbia, it took less than a generation for it to slide right into the ditch, pulling the States with it. Instead of sticking hard to the concept of States rights to govern in a flexible union and leaving DC as non-governmental, just the opposite started to happen. Generation upon generation of citizens have ever since been duped into thinking that the United States of America "needs" a central government. The result, a nightmare and never ending night terrors for the entire planet from a run-a-muck schizophrenic monster. Need I say more???
