Americans Renting from Foreigners - Survivalist Forum

That's the way a free market works. There used to be a lot of concern about the Japs buying up everything back in the 80's, I think.

A bigger concern is what is going to happen with all of the GSE owned forclosures. They're proposing selling them off in billion dollar parcels that will be turned into rental property.

So, we get into this mess because Congress wants a McMansion and Ferrari for all, and we end up as pauper renters. Sounds like the effing effing government to me.

There are lot's of things that factor in, and I have no problem with a free market. The problem is when government gets involved. They've essentially crowded out private investment, and the only thing left is to protest on the level of Vietnam era anti-war protests and continue raising the level of protest until the feds wake up and pay attention. The protest will be about jobs. It won't be easy to reverse 25 yrs of globalization, but Romney is the poster child for everything that is wrong with our economy.

I'll vote for Gingrich over Romney, and Paul over Gingrich.

I was spoiled. My first Presidential vote was cast for Ronald Wilson Reagan - Page 2

I was spoiled. My first Presidential vote was cast for Ronald Wilson Reagan


Reagan was the first progressive POTUS in the country, and each succeeding Administration has been progressively worse!

Let me explain. I remember Reagan clearly stating "Government is the problem" and "It's not a revenue problem, it's a spending problem". How and why is it deficit spending began to balloon under Reagan? And yes, I know there was a Democratic controlled Congress. Even so, can anyone not consider him a failure, and every POTUS after him?

Jimmy Carter was the last best POTUS this country has had. I'm basing this on the honesty and integrity of the individual. He was the last POTUS to take on the federal bureaucracy.

Ron Paul has promised to cut spending $1T his first year in office. It will be disruptive economically, but it's a necessary remedy to the out of control deficit spending by the feds. No one wants their piece of the pie touched, but there won't be anything left if and when the federal government shuts down, hyperinflation ensues, or a deflationary depression. Take your pick, because that's what the Reagan legacy has left us.

Romney is the poster child of everything wrong with our economy. I would vote for Gingrich over Romney, and Paul over Gingrich. That, and vote every incumbent out of office. Eventually they'll get the idea, it's we the people, not we, the special interests, if it's not too late, already.

Yeah, and let's talk budgets. The $2.4T in automatic spending cuts due to be implemented in January 2013 are structured to occur over 10 years, and much of that occurs at the end of 10 years.

Breaking News!!!!!

Breaking News!!!!!

I don't think it's because she can't win. More to the point, I think she sees the writing on the wall regarding federal spending, which has been exponentially increasing since the end of WWII, to the point we're on the leading vertical edge and the federal bureaucracy is addicted to it.

Any cuts in federal spending is going to hurt the states first, just like services and cutting vacant positions are the first to be cut in the state's budget.

The federal government is going to resist this changing paradigm as long as possible, unless someone like Ron Paul is elected first. It's too bad the shell game being played by the feds won't be seen until January 2013, when $2.4T in automatic cuts are required, which even then are back loaded to the end of ten years, if they even occur at all. The feds will lose their ability to borrow $$ and will shut down before that happens, meaning SS checks won't go out. That's the reality of the fed's situation.

The reality of the state's situation is less dire, but dependence on the fed's must be cut to zero. Governnor Perdue is a darling of the Obama Administration, because she knows her place. Easley presided over cutting the state's budget and checked out. Perdue has done it once, and she doesn't want to do it again with the Repubs having redrawn the districts and most likely will retain the Legislature. Heck, even Brad Miller is quiting rather than campaign in a new district. Barney Franks did the same thing in KA.

Bev is quiting, pure and simple, because the liberals can't have it their way. The socialist welfare state is dying a slow painful death, and it must be hard to wake up to the realization it's all been a charade.

Quitting is what progressive liberals, who are neither progressive nor liberal, do when the gig is up. It's for the best anyway.

Will Iran Kill the Petrodollar? « The Burning Platform

Will Iran Kill the Petrodollar? « The Burning Platform

The neocons have finally met a situation they can't bomb away. Goldorack is right, Iran is nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan. Iran has been strategically significant, even during the cold war, with Russion wanting a warm water port to operate naval vessels. In Irage, almost 4500 dead, over 100,000 wounded (http://antiwar.com/casualties/), and almost $1.3T (thanks for the war clock, Admin) of debt later, and we've established a vassal democracy in the Middle East. Dictators are a lot cheaper, but out of vogue.

Iran is much larger geographically, roughly four times the size of Iraq, and twice the size of Afghanistan. Interesting enough, and I hadn't noticed it before, the neocons have Iran surrounded in some real world game of Risk. I don't think the US can afford to invade Iran, for any reason. Too many people are paying attention and it's been done too many times for a false flag event. Rolling up all conspiracy theories into one, and asking the question, what does the Devil have to gain? The answer is nothing. A one world paper currency whose value is controlled by the state which he controls is what he wants. A weaker dollar helps replace it with a broader currency that may include dollars as a hodgepodge of currencies. Not perfect, but the dollars usefulness as a fiat world reserve currency is coming to an end.

Besides, the Devil has gotten what he wants since 9/11/2011. A police state in the US and a global commitment to maintain crumbling fiat currencies in the dollar and euro. His ministry is to steal, kill, and destroy God's word in people's lives (John 10:10). We have witnessed the theft of tens of trillions of dolllars by the global elite, and we know it's located where it can't be repatriated (thanks Romney). A global financial collapse will result in the death of hundreds of millions, if not billions by starvation for the simple reason corporation are not in the business of losing money and they won't ship product at a loss.

There are three scenarios that accomplish genocide; nuclear war, famine, and pandemic. All of the money spent on bailing out the TBTF banks in the US and now Europe has gone into the hands of the global elite and hasn't eased suffering in the least. One in five families in the US are on food assistance, and the Greek economy has collapsed. The global elite are acting on a principle of giving a man a fish, so that he may eat for a day, and must return to the elitist every day for a fish. Eating for a day isn't my idea of prosperity or freedom.

North Carolina Attorney General

Raleigh, NC 27699-9001
Telephone: (919) 716-6400

Mr. Cooper,

I strongly oppose any proposed settlement over mortgage fraud by the states Attorney General, and releasing banks from further liability, as not being in the best interest of the citizens of the state of North Carolina.

Billions of dollars are owed by the banks for using MERS to avoid paying land transfer fees, and well as "robo signing" loan documentation, documentation forgery and other abuses and fraud.

Principal modification should be done across the board on a percentage basis with a capped dollar amount. Everyone has harmed by the fraudulent practices of the banks and secondary mortgage market.

Any settlement releasing banks from further liability is unacceptable.

Yours truly,

[Name Withheld]
Raleigh, North Carolina

Ron Paul Dead Last in South Carolina - Page 2 - Survivalist Forum

Paul won't do well in FL. Blue hairs down there don't vote for anything except what is in their best interest, and most of them don't want any changes to SS until after they're dead.

I went to see Bowles and Simpson at Duke University last week, and their message was "shared sacrifice". This is why their plan was rejected by Congress, and why the Super Committee failed to reach any agreement on essentially the same plan. They didn't spare anyone. Now we have $2.4T in automatic spending cuts being implemented in Jan 2013, Bowles and Simpson wanted $4T, and Repubs are already complaining about cuts in defense. Even this, I feel is a ruse. Most of the cuts come toward the end of ten years.

Paul is the only candidate willing to take on the bureaucracy in DC, and has my vote. Anyone not supporting Paul should get out a checkbook, and write a check for $200T, because that's the total amount of debt and unfunded obligations the US Government owes. Paul will reduce that by $1T his first year. It's a start. No other candidate is willing to make that offer.

 It's possible all pensions will be nationalized, and everyone put on social security.

Somehow, I don't think the politicians will put themselves on the same plan.


We're at a crossroad of human civilization. Never has so much information been available to so many people. The last time it happened was the invention of the printing press, which brought about the protestant reformation. It remains to be seen what the Internet will bring about, but clearly, the elites don't know what to do about it. Imagine, free will playing out on a global scale. It's enlightening to the masses, and frightening to the elite.

OWS, or something similar will play out this Spring as Greece implodes and food scarcity puts pressure on central governments once again. DHS will be ready. Thus, all the talk about "social media". They didn't need PIPA, they've got NDAA. Would they like to shut down forums like this, you bet. But with NDAA they can go after individuals. Just not as effective as shutting down whole sites.

There is some reassurance to recognize this is a global conspiracy and one not constrained by man made events. This implies a super natural phenomenon. There is a conspiracy, and a chief conspirator, the Devil. Those who know and believe God's Word know how this is going to play. This also means that we don't have some gestapo government conspiring against us. For sure, corporate fascism is alive and well, but they're still bound by laws and that's where the focus is needed. This Spring, protests should rise to the level of anti war protests in the 60's, and continue rising until the White House and Congress get the message.

What are we protesting for? How about jobs? My sign will read something like this,

BRING AMERICAN JOBS BACK TO AMERICA. WE ARE YOUR CONSTITUENTS, NOT CORPORATIONS AND SPECIAL INTERESTS. WE'RE NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU PLEDGE TO PROTECT AMERICAN JOBS AND WE'LL BE BACK IF YOU DON'T LIVE UP TO YOUR PLEDGE.

Or, we could just hang'em. The message is the same.

Be prepared and be vigilant.
