^^^^^^
It is not really fair to compare Bush to officers in the British navy in a time when appointments and rank where purchased by family credentials and money and lacking credentials more money, now, is it?



He is a war hero, I Bet his service record reflects that he was in a war zone as Commander in Chief entitling him to the benefits of a VFW. Just a bet but I think it might be recorded that he was in the hot zone when he declared Victory way back when.

Direct Down>>>
He has to have some marbles somewhere? maybe yes, maybe no, most probable who knows.
I think he may have lost all his marbles to the Saudi princes in his youth.

Accidental, but there is truth in facts. I was pointing out the irony. It is scary when you don't even try to solve the Rubics Cube and it all falls into place, and even more scary when you try not to but in the morning there it is.

I was referring to the 1954 movie..... although any resemblance to people living or dead in your reference is .......accidental, I assure you.

George H W Bush was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, same with Rudy Guliani sir Rudy. Killer isn't it after all your constitution rejects such honors and anyone who parlia with royality from abroad is kissing up. Imagine a President of the US bowing before the Queen. Killer. I guess that shows you what it really is all about.

When your born, a doctor and your mom create a Birth certificate, this certificate is a Bond Tracking number. Its sent to the capital and then sent to the IMF and an account is made up in that number and quite a large sum of money backed by gold is in it. This money collects interest as you age. When you get to a certain age you get a SS or SIN which is a Registered Employment Number. When you apply (beg) for this number you become a corporate entity without a brain the Strawman. You enter into contractual law and are now an agent for the government and all its statutory acts which are acts and not law, Its a ficiton of the real you, the human being born on the land. A soverign of your country. Once you beg for the SS or SIN you allow your government to borrow the interest on that Bond Number and then property taxes and other usefull taxes create your economy and income taxes pay off the interest of the loan. Not one penny of income tax goes to the society, it ALL goes to the IMF. How come. There is no law in the books in the US that forces the people to pay taxes on a wage only corporate profit, since you got a SS or SIN and you are an agent of the government, you must pay. Satutory law, not criminal law.

When you buy a house you get a mortgage and you pay the bank off yrly to own the house. When we mortgaged our countries to the IMF they pay you. We hold the mortgage. Unfortuanately those with the bucks control this. This is why our countries are so plentiful, because what we got to understand that everything you see outside is already paid for.

We use fiat currnecy, that means its worthless and not money but credits, it has no gold or silver to back its worth. Therefore the IMF can play with the interest rates and create debt and thats how they get control over your money. Its an illusion, the banks have no money. What you are buying is already paid for. Get the idea. When we stop printing fiat currency then the currency gets stronger, when we over produce fiat currency then the dollar loses its punch. America has over produced this currency for a reason. To weaken the buck and create an Amero international buck.

In 1913, JP Morgan, Rockerfeller and Walburg created the Federal Reserve, the end of Americans creating money, a sell out to the banks, a yr later the largest war in history began in Europe. During that war international bankers where finacing both sides for profit. The signing of the Balfour Act in 1917 was to allow Zionist Jews to create a homeland in Palistine the actuall homeland of the Jews and why not. Once this happened the signing of the Balfour Act Jewish Bankers backed Britian and France and why not. They deserve there homeland. It was then that America come into the 1st WW. Only Britian did not fullfill the Balfour Agreement. This is the main reason why Hitler hated the Jews, Hitler being a facist and pure race fanatic got control. The first WW created so much debt that the US and Canada had to sell our gold to pay off the debt. The yellow brick road to the Emerald city. Short form for ounce is OZ. Gold being taken by the IMF. This happened in Oct of 29. The crash, no gold to back our money. Force us into poverty and the creation of the BC and SS and SIN numbers. We have been hoodwinked. We are all unknowingly part of the Corporation now. Your name on your SS or SIN is in capital letters which is a corporate law.

When you were born you had no name, it was given to you----a fiction, the strawman the Birth Cert.
When you get to a certain age, they tell you that you must have a SS or SIN to work---outright lie
There is no difference between being a legal worker (corporate) or a lawfull worker (Common Law) whats the difference is the corporate worker must pay income tax to pay of the debt that you did not create.
In Common Law, our base of laws, you do not pay income tax on a wage, there is no profit. Its a wage for time spent. No profit, yet you get taxed on it and it happens to be what you should be saving for a rainy day. This is slavery. The US supreme court in the late 1890s stated that no man should pay income tax on a wage, the only income tax to be paid is on CORPORATE GAINS, they simply made you a corporation. Under Common Law no other Supreme court justice can oppose this decission of the 1890s, thats Common Law, Restorative Justice.

Economies are illusions, based on Fiat Currency, that has no value but we think it does. The national debt is the control the banks have over your economy that they supply, there is no real money. If gold hits $2000 an ounce then your money is worthless. Gold is actually $1 an ounce in real currency, in fiat currency its at this time $940. If you stop printing fiat currency, the cost of Gold will fall, its planned out that way to get control of our nations.

King George W Bush is doing what hes is told to do, the man who represents the strongest nation on the planet is under control by the IMF and the wealth he loves to have, oh yea the fame too. the Prima Donna Syndrome.

We all are aware of the problems in this country except the upper 2% we allow to control it. The issue is everyone is an expert at telling us what they are told they believe by whatever pundit they choose to let into their brains. This country used to be great and I love it and wouldnt want to live anywhere else, but weve gotten lazy and comfortable while this is probably the most important election since Ive been an adult is coming up. We get the government we deserve...as long as there is no accountability for these pinheads we elect whether democrat, republican, green party, independants
we are going down. We need great big balls again and the courage to admit weve been conned by what we have now.

Interesting read pappy009 ~ I've heard you express these thoughts once before ~

In many ways ~ It's well over my head ~ but I get the jest of what your a saying ~ what's been sold to us is unlawful ~ and all fairness has been throw out the window a long time ago. ~ way before King Geo. ~ Like the matrix, ~ we are now reduced to a "Copper Top" ~ an engery source ~ to operate the Borg ~ we have been assemilated ~ Resistance is futile! We have unknowingly be incorperated and subject to taxations for as long as we breath.

It took lawyers to get us in this mess ~ whats it going to take to get us out of a failed system? ~ In some ways it has characteristic of a Pyramid Scam ~ the most recent to invest into it take the greatest loss. Make one worry for future generations ? ~~ if we somehow make it through the present one!

As far as Geo43 and "old Yellow Stain" ~ to the Naval Officers credit ~ "Old Yellow Stain" caught himself slipping from the reality of the issues ~ off and on ~ a fading in and out of Mental illness state. ~ But George, is still a ledgend in his own mind ~ I would guess british royality could be no farther removed from the people. On this day , March 2, 08 ~ as crude oil top a record $ 104.00 per barrel today.

Yes!!!! I'm sure George is encouraged with military progress in Iraq and his economy stimilus package at home . ~ He worked hard on it! ~ worked week ends!

I say this ~ I'd love to have the choises we have today, 4 years ago. ~ Like Ron Paul, Gore was the correct choice 8 years ago ~ 4 years ago ~ there was no choices.

Americans were in denial of failed leadership back then ~ many still are today ~ They just quit " openly" defending the present adminstration. ~ They now find theirselfs in a minority ~ Though their hard work, determination, good fortune, timing and happenstance ~ they find their present position comfortable. They "are" living the American Dream that was promised. I'm proud for their success. ~ Glad a few made it!! ~dar

As of recently, Americans have a savings rate that is less than zero. Americans are more in debt than in any other civilized country. And our dear federal government is, too.

We are in deep doo-doo.

I keep hearing about how bad the economy is doing, and how we're in a slump, we're headed for a recession.

I work in the trucking industry, and according to some, it is an indicator of the health of the economy. If freight isn't moving, then the economy isn't moving either. Things have certainly slowed down in the last couple of years. Some of the older hands have said they've never seen freight this slow before.

In years past, over the road drivers would run between 3,500 and 3,900 miles a week, if they were hard runners. Today, those same hard runners are running about 2,800 miles a week. They're definitely not getting the miles they are used to getting. But, they're still working, earning, and spending money.

My fiance' and I bought a house last summer, with the intent of selling each of our respective houses. We all know what the housing market did last fall. Now, my old home is rented out, and producing income, while my fiance's house is still on the market. Her house is being shown a lot, but, no offers as of yet. Of course, there will be a small market for houses in the $262,500 price range as well.

The economy may be in a slump, and we may be headed for a recession. We had one back in the boom times of the 1980's too. Somehow, or another, we survived that one. If we have a recession in coming years, we'll survive that one too.

You should be happy... you have the Canadian dollar worth more than the USD now. C'mon down and buy something, this is America, we're for sale! In fact, Lostcauz has got a deal for you. Probably get it for only $CAD 250,000. And people laughed at Tom Brady's girlfriend when she wanted to be paid in Euros!!

~ I just viewed documentery ~ off the Thread , IraQ war, No end in site~

appears This war cost is 1.86 Trillion dollars ! ~ okay what if the figure is off a few billion?

So let me ask you something ~ if you miss spend your money "and" get no returns on your 1.8 trillion spent~

What would your state of affairs be? ~

I'd have to do without some things ~ I'd no longer be contributing to the poor, or scoial programs ~ I'd have to stop the paper ~ put the bug man off till later ~ I'd be putting a lot of things off ~ I'd have a hard time meeting payroll demands ~I'd be putting promises off. ~ Laying people off.

Quit sending the cloths to the laundry ~

It's all just a matter of time ~ the wolf that ate your neighbor last month ~ will be scratching at your door. ~ what did you do to ~ when you saw the wolf over at the neighbors place?

That nice house you have for sale ~ will be a anchor around your neck ~ as the market falls ~ it's a buyers maket ~ the old wolf has been busy ~ many will take their losses just to get out for under them ~ but you are right ~ the sun is still shining somewhere and it will shine again here.

Way back when, we had a depression here in the US. We all learned about it in History class, we called it The Great Depression. The only people who were truly affected by The Great Depression of the 1930's were the people who gambled far too much, spent way beyond their means, and got caught, when the piper came around to be paid.

That nice house for sale may end up being an anchor around our necks. But, thankfully, we have a means by which to make the payments, until it does sell. It's priced to sell, we're not going to drop the price, regardless what the market does. The plan is to buy yet another house, when the one for sale is sold. If, and that's a mighty huge if, I can persuade my fiance' to trust me, I know of two other houses, I'd like to buy, just to sit on, until the market comes to its senses again.

Dar, you've been around long enough to have heard the stories of how there were some, who kept their heads, and positioned themselves conservatively, that made zillions, and zillions, of dollars during The Great Depression. Rumor control has it, that the Patriarch of the great Kennedy clan was one of those people.

Besides those who made megabucks in during The Great Depression, there were a lot of farmers who weren't even hardly touched by it. They lived simple lives, and they worded hard for what they had. But, their lives only changed in as much as some stranger would come by, bringing news from the city, and offering to help out for a meal.

There's a story about a farmer's wood pile that got moved, from one side of a fence to the other, an innumerable number of times during The Great Depression, all by strangers coming by, offering work in exchange for a meal. As the story goes, the only real difference was that the meal would be a little better that day, and the lady of the house would bake a pie.

Thankfully, the wolf hasn't gotten to my neighbor's place. I know what I'll do should he come scratching at my door. I'll send him packing, because I only bought as much house as I could reasonably afford, with a fixed rate mortgage. Unlike some of those who bought more house than they could possibly afford, with an adjustable rate mortgage, based upon assumptions that they would be promoted at work, get pay raises, and inflation would stay in check; all while the economy continued to grow at a break neck pace.

History, and common sense, dictate that the American Economy ebbs and floods like the oceans. Experts say we are heading into a period of ebbing; which will comensurately be followed by a period of flooding. Maybe those who have lost, or will lose, their houses in this ebbing period, will not be quite so cavalier when next buying a house.

History is all about the buck, its not that hard to understand, you got to think out of the box. Kind of wacky like me.

Soon the 9 trillion dollar deficit will mean very little, we will create another currency, the Amero, the only thing is that this Amero will be backed by silver, my call on that. By doing that the fiat currency now in the states will deal with transferring its deficiet to actuall money, once the Amero is introduced the price of silver will sky rocket, increasing the value of the Amero and decreasing the deficit of fiat currency that has no worth. What I am saying is that silver in the last month has gained around $6 an ounce from $13.7 to $20, I bought it at $13.7. Now you don't need a lot of money to buy silver but if in the near future the Amero hits and is backed by silver that $20 an ounce in a short period of time will be $300 an ounce. Get out there and buy it now, please. Not because of me, but if we do transfer our money the banks may call in the loans and that means you.

If George W bush is doing so bad why is the economy doing so good?
Posted: 3/7/2008 1:55:16 PM
Wait....STOP THE PRESSES !!!!!!


President Bush said Friday that "it's clear our economy has slowed," hours after a government report showed a decline in payrolls for the second straight month.

But he said the long-term outlook is good, with a stimulus package enacted last month by Congress providing support for the economy.

"I know this is a difficult time for our economy," the president said. "But we recognized the problem early and we provided the economy with a booster shot."

Bush said the effects of the stimulus package are "just starting to kick in" and that the plan will "put money into the hands of American workers and businesses."

Earlier in the day, Bush's chief economic adviser Edward Lazear said that the nation's economy could contract in the current quarter. But he added that, "we expect that the economy will get stronger, primarily in the third quarter."

The statements come after the Labor Department said employers made their deepest cut in staffing in almost five years during February, highlighting concerns that a recession is imminent.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in remarks made on the Senate floor that Americans are "burdened by an economy that is spiraling downward every day."

Reid noted that Bush does not think the economy is headed for a recession, but argues that the facts prove otherwise.

This morning, all signs point in that direction," Reid said. "But regardless of what label we use, there is no doubt whatsoever that the American people are suffering."

Meanwhile, oil prices spiked to a record high above $106 a barrel Friday, raising concerns that higher gas prices will hurt consumers and increase inflation.

On Wall Street, stocks fell to their lowest level in nearly 18 months as recession fears continued to spook investors.

http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/07/news/economy/bush_econ/index.htm?cnn=yes



According to the President, the economy is slowing .....but still strong. That booster shot's kicking in, and ( like a Clemens "B-12 shot") it's only a matter of minutes until that 'ol US dollar baseball is going to be screeching out of the ball park on a clear summer night, while the crowd cheers and high fives one another.

All it took was waiting 'till the last possible second, and then actually getting the lumbering T-Rex of government suddenly breaking all speed records for cooperation and speed of legislation and sprinting like it's seldom if ever done before.


The U.S. economy is two months into a recession, according to a research note released Friday by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

JPMorgan (JPM, Fortune 500) anticipates the current recession remaining short, unless there is an "abrupt change in corporate behavior."

In a short recession, the bottom occurs at about five months, Thomas Lee an analyst with JPMorgan wrote in a research note. Lee said during typical "short" recessions, equity markets gain about 12% in the year following the bottom.

Lee said if the recession lasts more than 12 months, stocks are likely to have additional downside. Only eight of the 22 recessions since 1900 have lasted longer than a year, Lee added.

JPMorgan originally estimated the Standard & Poor's 500 index would rise to 1,590 during the year. It also did not predict a recession, instead saying the economy would face a period of "slow growth." With the revision in the economic outlook to a recession, JPMorgan now estimates the S&P 500 will bottom out in May before rising toward 1,450 by the end of the year.

The S&P 500 fell 11 points to 1,293 in afternoon trading.

http://money.cnn.com/2008/03/07/news/companies/JPMorgan_recession.ap/index.htm?postversion=2008030714


The President, it seems, would also probably refer to the Titanic (post iceberg) as being in a state of negative buoyancy,with most, if not all of it's bulkheads intact. Still unsinkable, for the moment at least.

I think those marbles are coming out of his pocket, fairly soon.

Well I feel relieved with Bush focusing on American Domestic Policy. Just look at how well he has done in American Foreign Policy he can take all the successes abroad and bring them to bear on Domestic Policy. Big deals in store before he leaves office. I shudder with anticipation.

Economics are planned. They don't just fall to pieces for no reason. The people with the dough know, 2% of our population controls the money flow. These are the insurance companies and banks which are the biggest investors alone with the elite. Just take a look at what the government has done in the last 8 yrs, a blank check to Haliburton, a blank check to the pharmaceuticals for Medicare, another blank check to the pharmaceuticals for oversea vaccinations, the war and storage has driven up the price, the oil companies are making a killing internationally and at home. Every aspect of the social level has been hit, education, pensions, social services all that matters to the little guy. You got to watch the trends. So far, I have lived thru the oil shortage of the 70s, the recession of the 80s, and the recession of the early 90s and now this. Each time this happened the rebound started in, the 70s raising cost of products and food, the 80s skyrocketing real estate, the 90s Free trade, and now what the Amero.

Invest your money while you can. In commodities, play the game on your level. You never lose with Gold or Silver.

Isn't the U.S. dollar backed by gold? And isn't the gold just simply not there to back it at this point in time? I'm just going by what I've heard, but I wouldn't invest in anything but Halliburton these days. That's what our troops are over there protecting.

No the US Gold is gone, follow the yellow brick road to Emerald city, it left in the thirties. Bankruptcy and the "New Deal" ---mortgaged. What you have is stored but not owned by America no more. You work on credit financed by the IMF. Its not money, its credits. It has no trade in value or it would be printed on the note. As it was prior to 1913, when money could be transfered into gold. The bank has got to do this. There is not inflation with gold backing money, there is only so much and it does not deflate either. Gold is it, fiat currency gains and loses on the gold exchange.

The only people who were truly affected by The Great Depression of the 1930's were the people who gambled far too much, spent way beyond their means, and got caught, when the piper came around to be paid."

Oh do tell, I learned about it from my parents who lived through it and this observation could not be more incorrect. Just hurt those who gambled to much, spent beyond their means, oh such foolish rot. The Great Depression hurt everyone in this country, especially the poor people. I suggest a little reading, research and enlightenment. Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" (hey, it's a movie, no need to have to read) is a great place to start learning about the reality of the depression and what happens when we have drought in our areas that depend on snow and rain (like the eight year drought that area is currently experiencing but that's another topic.) How could anyone stick up for the wrath dubya has wreaked upon our country and a sovereign nation that is now in total chaos is beyond me. He is the worst president this country has ever had and he has taken our economy down the tubes because he wanted to get even with Saddam for "trying to kill his daddy." What a fool and what even larger fools the people who elected him are (don't forget he was appointed the first time.) If we survive with the fall of the dollar, the $10-12 billion being spent to kill people in Iraq per month, the price of gas - oh yeah, remember it was Saudis who were the terrorists, not Iraqis...etc. etc. etc. The sooner he's gone, the sooner we may have a chance to pull ourselves out of this stinking swamp we are being sucked into day by day.

i am sorry i just had to respond to your ad hom, refering to bush as a "nazi, racist..." et al.

first of all, you may not like the man and that is fine. however, calling him names that simply do not apply and that are in fact completely inaccurate only makes you look ill informed and/or poorly educated. for this reason, i am going to help you out here.

first of all... "nazi" - well, nazi's HATED capitalism. they were socialists - hence the name "nazi," which was a short hand for "national socialists." the problem here is that bush is a staunch capitalist, AND a free trader. as a matter of fact, this is probably one of his most defining characteristics. for this reason, you can't possibly draw such a comparison. if you mean something specifics by calling him a nazi, something more specific, then perhaps you should choose a more specific term. this one does not apply.

also, bush is not a racist. he has a great track record of elevating minorities AND women to positions of power. there have been several firsts under GW. like the man or not, this is a fact. also, no other US president has sent more aid, or given greater attention to the continent of africa. this has not gone unnoticed by those who have been active advocates for issues that face the continent. for example, bob geldof, a very left leaning liberal guy, actually praised GW for this, even while making it clear that he disagreed with GW's policies on almost all other issues.

ihope i have made a point here. if you would like to address GW's economic policies, or question why the US dollar has declined so badly under W that would be at least on topic... AND if you actually addressed those issues without resorting to loaded words, ad hominems, and scurulous attacks then your posts would at least be worth rebutting...

this isn't a rebuttal, just in case you were wondering. no, it's a tutorial.

" well, i don't think the economy is doing so well right now. however, what that boils down to is a great time to make a fortune! lol!
stock market down... housing prices down... etc. couldn't ask for a better time to buy buy buy. for those who have the capital to invest this is like a blue light special at kmart. "

Ah yes, More of the "I'm alright, so screw you" mentality we've all come to know and love from certain factions.
No doubt it really is a good time for those with the right connections (such as having their lips firmly connected to Bush's ass) However, for the vast majority of those in the real world, not so good.
Still, it actually is quite helpful and informative to read these posts from those arrogant ones who are doing so well. If nothing else, it certainly proves that being wealthy is no obstacle to letting one also be completely ignorant.

it's not about people who have the "right connections," at all. look, it's a sale right now. you buy stocks when they are low and you try to sell them when they are high. duh. is it not best to buy your home when the housing prices are low, or is it better to buy when housing prices are inflated? this is the time to pick up an investment property. it's a great opportunity - for everyone!

and as a matter of fact, i am not "doing so well." i am a fricken student, and i am struggling to make ends meet while i attend to my studies. i am not able to participate right now in the great opportunities that are out there. but that isnt the issue. look, new millioinares will be created from this down turn. if one is to do well, or if one aspires to be something more then just some stupid wage serf, well, then it's best to learn how to make money work for you, rather then work for money. if you don't know the difference between wealth and income that certainly is noone's fault but your own. and if you aren't making ends meet, then maybe you need to learn how to improve your situation. maybe you should learn more about things instead of complaining and whining about it.

there is plenty of opportunity out there for people who are interested in learning how to change thier lot in life. it's about thriving, not just getting by.
