IT'S OFFICIAL: Media ignoring Ron Paul
29% - Percentage of Ron Paul’s campaign coverage in 2011 compared to Donald Trump's
In the days after his runner-up finish to Michele Bachmann in Iowa’s August 13 GOP straw poll, Texas Congressman Ron Paul complained about a lack of media coverage, accusing the press of being “frightened by me challenging the status quo and the establishment."
As pundits debate whether Paul is getting the attention he deserves, a PEJ analysis of campaign coverage this year indicates he is the 10th leading election newsmaker— trailing far behind non-candidates Donald Trump and Sarah Palin and as well as floundering Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich.

He does travel a lot--perhaps too much--but it's mostly for work. And spending the weekend at Camp David doesn't count as anything. That's what Camp David's for.
Here is a tally for the first two years in office. This doesn't include 2011.
If we do the math here, it appears as if President Obama spends little or no time in Washington. By adding his domestic trip days, his vacation days, his Camp David days, and his foreign trips days, which if I remember correctly, eight of those days were actually vacation days in Europe, President Obama was outside of Washington DC a total of 188 days.
I don’t think I can remember a president that traveled so much. If anyone can correct me, please do so as I am just home from a long day at work, I am sick and just too friggin tired to so the research. JD

I think Trump just made that up. Obama goes away at Christmas, sometime in the spring, and in August. And he's never gone for more than about ten days.

Obama. The only President to take more luxury vacations than George Bush. Is anyone starting to get the picture? (Live a life of luxury in exchange for the sellout)
Modern day Presidents are merely sock puppet speech readers. Read a couple of speeches to keep the sheeople happy and then go on a nice vacation..

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: I wanted to talk to you about the recent news about Pakistan and China. But first I want to ask you about your tweet. I can't resist. A recent tweet from you, on your Twitter account, says, Barack Obama played golf yesterday, now he heads to a 10-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard, nice work ethic.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, the fact is, he takes more vacations than any human being I've ever seen. They used to complain about George Bush, but I understand he's already exceeded George Bush and we're not even through the year. So he likes vacation.
VAN SUSTEREN: What does -- I mean, obviously, that doesn't sound a -- send a good message if, indeed, the American people think that he likes a, quote, "vacation."
TRUMP: Well, I mean, it sends a bad message. Here we have a country that really is going to hell in a handbasket. Let's not kid ourselves. What's happening to this country is horrible. All over the world, they're talking about it. And we have a president that's constantly -- whether it's Martha's Vineyard or someplace else, constantly on vacation. I mean, all the time he's on vacation! So I think it sends a very, very bad message. We have to work in this country to bring it back.
The economy must be doing really well.

Gold & Silver: Full Sprectrum Dominance
By Jim Willie CB
Aug 18 2011 9:13AM
"Gold and Silver have emerged in the last 12 months as the dominant asset group. They led the entire 2000 decade, still gathering disrespect. They do not require respect from the Wall Street and London crowd. They serve as effective protection during the slow motion crumbling process to the global monetary system. The sovereign bond crisis has circled the peripheral nations, rendered its wreckage, and is working toward the center where the USTBond and UKGilt reside (worried). Italy and Spain are squarely in the crosshairs for financial assaults, but France and the United States lie closer to the core of Western nation sacred debt territory, soon to become sacred burial grounds. That must sound drastic and melodramatic, but just wait. Other calls of an insolvent US banking system, calls of a chronic housing bear market also once sounded extreme. They came true. So did $1000 gold and Canadian Dollar parity calls made in 2005. Again they came true.
Dismissal of Green Shoots, Jobless Recovery, Exit Strategy, and No QE sounded bombastic and pedagogical, but they were also correct calls. In fact, very easy calls. The ruin of the USTreasury Bond debt security is a long drawn out process like a cancer victim. Weakness is followed by emaciation, then organ damage, circulatory problems, finally a bedridden state, and lastly the inevitable death. Analogies to each can be made with USTBonds nowadays, like the foreign central banks withdrawing from the process evident in low Indirect Bids, like dependence upon debt monetization."

Globalization and Global Chaos
By Ron Hera
August 16, 2011
Hera Research, LLC
As social and political upheaval and civil unrest have spread across the globe, it has become clear that the problems facing Western countries are neither transient nor temporary. Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States share a common set of problems over and above economic decline and sovereign debt issues linked to problems of the global financial system. The issues surrounding civil unrest comprise a lack of economic opportunity, political disenfranchisement,erosion of individual rights, a systematic lack of accountability from local authorities to national leaders, deteriorating credibility of political and financial leaders and disintegrating national government legitimacy. The reason that the above problems are common to Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States is that they are all linked to globalization.
National governments have become increasingly subordinated to international bodies, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Group of 20 (G-20) or the European Central Bank (ECB), as well as to large multinational corporations. Large multinational corporations, which are a central feature of globalization, enjoy privileged status granted to them by governments. The bailout of large multinational banks by Western governments in the face of the financial crisis that began in 2008 illustrates that the well being of sufficiently large multinational corporations preempts national interests. The rationale that large multinational banks cannot fail stems from the fact that they make up the infrastructure—the valves, pipes and pumps, so to speak—of the international financial system. What is important is that the same rationale can be applied to virtually any international industry. The precedent of bank bailouts ushered in a new paradigm wherein the agendas of international industrial cartels take precedence over the laws, regulations, economic and trade policies of national governments.Although the world financial system is at a more advanced stage of globalization relative to most other industries, the bank bailouts revealed, with startling clarity, a new world order.
The financial crisis of 2008 and the global recession that followed suggest that globalization may fail for basic economic reasons. Globalization, as opposed to promoting sustainable, economic communities, advances an agenda of central economic planning designed to optimize global output, mainly for the benefit of multinational corporations. Policies or regulations that benefit multinational corporations do not necessarily promote economic stability or sustainability and may run counter to the interests of local or regional commercial concerns.
The law of unintended consequences states that when a simple system attempts to control a complex system, unintended consequences are the result. Globalization places the relatively simple, rigid bureaucracies of international bodies and large multinational corporations in a position of oversight and policy making over the affairs of roughly 196 countries and 6 billion human beings around the world. Unintended consequences are, therefore, endemic to globalization. What is more important than the economic failure of globalization, however, is its imminent political failure.
International trade and capital flows are emergent phenomena that exist as a consequence of the individual human actions that form the basis of every local and regional economy in the world. Economies, like biological ecosystems, are spontaneously self-organizing systems that develop naturally in a local or regional context. Breaking down naturally occurring local or regional economies in order to reassemble their components, e.g., capital, labor or natural resources, in a wholly artificial, centrally planned system, is a profoundly flawed and politically dangerous concept. Specifically, the political structures required for globalization breed unrest. Political systems that require human beings to behave in ways contrary to human nature are, by definition, oppressive. Since political structures arise in a social context, replacing local and regional economic relationships, characterized by ethnic and cultural social structures, with an abstract concept, such as the global economy, requires oppressive political structures.

Jon Stewart: Media conspiracy against Ron Paul:
In Iowa's Ames Straw Poll this weekend, Michele Bachmann bested 2nd place Ron Paul by less than 200 votes. And yet, in the immediate spin cycle at least, pundits talked about Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Bachmann. Paul seemed to be, as his supporters always point out, invisible. Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart became the latest to weigh in on the habit of ignoring Paul. After playing a few highlight reels showing anchors going out of their way not to mention the libertarian firebrand, he incredulously asks: "How did libertarian Ron Paul become the 13th floor in a hotel?"

IMO most conspiracies are just simply "personal agendas"
Govt workers are people too
Yep, that basically sounds like me for many years.
I was taught to respect authority and everything done by our gov't is for the greater good and should never be questioned.
I still don't believe in most conspiracies but am a little more open minded now about them.
If you have not yet read it, read the original, "Conspiracy Theory" article Roberts wrote last month. No surprise that he took a lot of flack for it. People would rather believe that all is well and that our only threats come from abroad rather than from within. It's kind of preposterous really. People want to believe there is nothing that people from other countries will not do, but that our own people are good little angels that would never dream of harming a fly.:

Yep. Anyone who thinks there are no conspiracies on the parts of governments is truly living in a bizarre alternate reality.

Conspiracies
July 03, 2011
(to what lengths will shady or overly ambitious elements within our government go to advance their agendas? Well, just about any lengths--OA)
http://www.vdare.com/roberts/110703_conspiracies.htm
By Paul Craig Roberts
In a June column, I concluded that "conspiracy theory" is a term applied to any fact, analysis, or truth that is politically, ideologically, or emotionally unacceptable. This column is about how common real conspiracies are. Every happening cannot be explained by a conspiracy, but conspiracies are common everyday events. Therefore, it is paradoxical that "conspiracy theory" has become a synonym for "unbelievable."
Conspiracies are commonly used in order to advance agendas. In the July issue of American Rifleman, a National Rifle Association publication, the organization’s executive vice president, Wayne Lapierre reports on a congressional investigation led by Senator Charles Grassley and Representative Darrell Issa of a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and Department of Justice conspiracy to further gun control measures by smuggling guns across the border to Mexican criminals and blaming it on American firearm sellers.
Lapierre writes:
"Thanks to federal agents coming forth with evidence on the gun smuggling operation, this government sanctioned criminal conspiracy has been exposed.
"Leading an administration-wide cover up--marked by an arrogant dismissal of Congress’ constitutional role--is Attorney General Eric Holder, who has blocked all efforts to get to the truth. His minions have directed federal employees with knowledge of the gun-running scam to refuse to cooperate with congressional investigators."[ We Need To Extinguish The Firewall Of Lies]
Many Americans will find the uncovered conspiracy hard to believe. The US Federal agency, BATFE, with the DOJ’s participation, has been providing firearms to Mexico’s drug cartels in order to create "evidence" to support the charge that US gun dealers are the source of weapons for Mexican drug gangs. The purpose of the government’s conspiracy is to advance the gun control agenda.
Attorney General Eric Holder’s stonewalling of the congressional investigation has resulted in Rep. Issa’s warning to Holder: "We’re not looking at the straw buyers, Mr. Attorney General. We’re looking at you."
The most likely outcome will be that Grassley and Issa will have accidents or be framed on sex charges.
Conspiracies are also a huge part of economic life. For example, the Wall Street firm, Goldman Sachs, is known to have shorted financial instruments that it was simultaneously selling as sound investments to its customers. The current bailouts of EU countries’ sovereign debt is a conspiracy to privatize public domain.
Economic conspiracies are endless, and most succeed. NAFTA is a conspiracy against American labor, as are H-1B and L-1 work visas. Globalism is a conspiracy against First World jobs.
The sex charge against Dominique Strauss-Kahn could turn out to have been a conspiracy. According to the New York Times, the hotel maid has bank accounts in four states, and someone has been putting thousands of dollars into them.
Sometimes governments are willing to kill large numbers of their own citizens in order to advance an agenda. For example, Operation Northwoods was a plan for false flag terrorist events drafted by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and signed by General Lyman Lemnitzer. It called for the CIA and other "black op" elements to shoot down Americans in the streets of Miami and Washington, D.C., to hijack or shoot down airliners, to attack and sink boats carrying Cuban refugees to the US, and to fabricate evidence that implicated Castro. The agenda of the Joint Chiefs and the CIA was to stir up American fear and hatred of Castro in order to support regime change in Cuba.
Before the reader cries "conspiracy theory," be apprised that the secret Operation Northwoods was made public on November 18, 1997, by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board. When the plan was presented to President Kennedy in 1962, he rejected it and removed Lemnitzer as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
Wikipedia quotes extensively from the plan’s menu of proposed false flag terrorist acts. Those who distrust Wikipedia can obtain a copy of the plan from the National Archives.
When I tell even highly educated people about Operation Northwoods, they react with disbelief--which goes to show that even US government-acknowledged conspiracies remain protected by disbelief a half century after they were hatched and 14 years after being revealed by the government.
An example of a conspiracy that is proven, but not officially acknowledged, is Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. Captain Ward Boston, one of the two US Navy legal officers ordered to cover up the attack, not investigate it, revealed the Johnson Administration’s conspiracy, and that of every subsequent administration, to blame mistaken identity for what was an intentional attack. The unofficial Moorer Commission, led by Admiral Tom Moorer, former Chief of Naval Operations and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, proved conclusively that the Israeli attack, which inflicted massive casualties on US servicemen, was an intentional attack. Yet, the US government will not acknowledge it, and few Americans even know about it.
Even the event Americans celebrate on July 4 was a conspiracy and was regarded as such by the British government and American colonials who remained loyal to King George. If we don’t believe in conspiracies, why do we celebrate one on July 4?

The People Fiddle as the Country Burns

Thank goodness the Casey Anthony case is over! The jury thinks she is not guilty of murder. I don't know if they got right or wrong, but I do know many dollars and much air time was devoted to a story that will have zero effect on the lives of 99.999% of Americans. I think the discovery of a walking, talking Martian would have gotten about the same attention. I guess this stuff sells newspapers and gets TV ratings but is sure not what U.S. citizens should be focused on. Maybe that's the point. Are stories like Casey Anthony just our version of a Roman Circus? Are the masses being kept preoccupied with events that have no bearing on their lives while the country burns in a cloud of debt? I think so.
Most people have no idea of the perilous position the U.S. is in. One wrong move by our government or even a government the size of Greece, Portugal, Spain or Italy, and there could be a daisy chain of debt explosions around the globe. The people are in the dark, and I blame the mainstream media (MSM.) A story that should have people really terrified is the battle going on in Washington D.C. over raising the debt ceiling some $2.4 trillion dollars. If the issue is not settled by early August, the U.S. could have the mother of all debt defaults. The Democrats and Republicans cannot agree on a package that contains both tax increases and budget cuts. President Obama has called for a balanced approach. Bloomberg reported yesterday, The Obama administration and congressional leaders are working to complete a deal on a long-term budget reduction package by July 22 as part of a plan to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit. The Treasury Department has said that its borrowing authority expires Aug. 2 and could result in a first-ever U.S. default on its obligations. Obama's comments came as Democrats were intensifying a showdown with Republicans over whether tax increases should be part of a deficit-cutting deal before the Aug. 2 deadline. (Click here for the complete Bloomberg report.) http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-05/obama-sets-july-7-talks-with-lawmakers-to-urge-long-term-deficit-solution.html
Everyone should be watching this debt ceiling negotiation because, no matter the outcome, it will affect the lives of 99.999% of Americans and many people around the globe. If a deal is not reached, catastrophic consequences would follow. In his latest report, economist John Williams from Shadowstats.com said, “Such a default would be a serious mistake, and it most likely will be avoided as political games push the limits of brinksmanship. An outright default likely would trigger massive dumping of the U.S. dollar, and it would accelerate movement to much higher U.S. inflation and, ultimately, to hyperinflation. According to Williams, there are $12 trillion in liquid dollar assets held outside the U.S. That is where the hyperinflation would come from.
Paul Farrell from MarketWatch.com takes the opposite end of the argument and says the U.S. should not raise the debt ceiling because it will make matters worse in the future. In a post he wrote yesterday, he said, No, do not raise the debt-ceiling. You heard me: Block the debt ceiling vote. Don't raise it. America's out-of-control. A debt addict. Time to detox. Deal with the collateral damage before it's too late. Farrell gives 7 reasons why he thinks we should force a depression right now and not wait for an even bigger one to happen later. (Click here to read the complete MarketWatch.com report.) http://www.marketwatch.com/story/7-reasons-us-needs-a-good-depression-now-2011-07-05?pagenumber=2
Either way, America is heading for a real disaster, and most people are clueless of how fast the economy could fall off a cliff. And when I say disaster, I mean riots, crime, violence, hunger, hyperinflation and a complete loss of wealth that will vanish seemingly overnight. This is a fall that will forever change the country. This is big, very big. Meanwhile, the mainstream media (MSM) is obsessed with wall-to-wall coverage of stories like Casey Anthony. I guess the John Edwards saga will be the next distraction as we head for the abyss. When we crash, and I guarantee it will happen, the MSM will sit around and say the exact same thing it said after the 2008 meltdown: Nobody saw that coming. Let the games continue.

Change To Inflation Measurement On Table As Part Of Budget Talks -Aides (this would make the third change since the 1980s--each time they change it to mask the real inflation rate--OA)
By Corey Boles and Janet Hook
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Lawmakers are considering changing how the Consumer Price Index is calculated, a move that could save perhaps $220 billion and represent significant progress in the ongoing federal debt ceiling and deficit reduction talks.
According to congressional aides familiar with the discussions, the proposal would shift how the Consumer Price Index is calculated to reflect how people tend to change spending patterns when prices increase. For example, consumers tend to drive less when gas prices increase dramatically.
Such a move is widely seen by economists as resulting in a slower rise in inflation. That would impact an array of federal programs that are linked to CPI including the Social Security program and income tax brackets set by the federal government.
The proposal could lower federal spending by around $220 billion over the next decade, based on calculations by last year's White House deficit commission, which recommended the change as part of its final report.
According to two congressional aides familiar with the budget negotiations, the shift is being "seriously discussed" as part of the ongoing talks to strike a budget deal, that would be used to ease the passage of a required increase in the country's debt limit.
Those talks involve Democratic and Republican lawmakers from both chambers and are led by Vice President Joe Biden. The group held its latest meeting Tuesday as they strive to reach the broad outlines of a compromise on federal spending by the end of the month.
In a press conference that took place before the meeting, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) declined to comment on the specific proposal, other than to say that "a lot of things are on the table." But asked whether the proposal would be interpreted as a tax increase and therefore a non-starter for Republicans, Cantor said it could be seen as both impacting tax rates and benefits paid out by the federal government.
When asked about the idea after the meeting, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D., S.C.) said everything is being discussed.
It is a rare proposal in that it would likely lead to both lower benefits paid to seniors and higher taxes paid by most people who pay federal income tax. As such, it could allow Republicans to argue they are tackling federal entitlement programs such as Social Security, and permit Democrats to say they are increasing taxes as part of any budget deal that is reached.
It could be easier for both parties to agree on than a significant overhaul to the Medicare proposal or an increase of taxes on wealthier Americans.
"It's certainly something that is going to be considered," said James Horney, director of federal fiscal policy at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank. "There are questions whether it would be politically easy."
Several senators that are not party to the Biden-led talks voiced support for the proposal including Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D., N.D.), while Sen. John Thune (R., S.D.), a member of the Republican leadership team, said it should be looked at as part of the negotiations.

Welcome to the Super Hero Justice League!!
Here we discuss scams, scammers and legitimate enterprises.
Our mission is to help stamp out crime from the microcap markets, thereby helping those who try to do it the right way!
There are many legitimate companies which have done their best to run honest enterprises in the microcap sector. But they are being ruined by all the scamming and fraud which has taken place in PennyLand. They can't easily raise money anymore because many of the people who like to take risk in the sector have been wiped out by fraudsters!
Who are the fraudsters? Let's out them. Lets Fry them, Lets ROAST THEM!

PNMS HIJINKS
Code Named: South American Dirty Laundry
PNMS CEO Mike "Ten Large" Terrell promised shareholders PNMS would provide audited financials on the company in March of 2007, but when it came time to deliver
them, he came up with one of the most outlandish excuses ever given to penny stock players. Terrell had the audacity to tell PNMS shareholders that it
would be "illegal" for the company to deliver on it's promise due to Panamanian law. His subsitute for audited financials was a brief table offered as an unaudited financial statement on the company's website. Such a statement could have been prepared in approximately one hour since none of the numbers were backed with adequate footnotes and could hardly be trusted by anyone with an IQ which exceeeds that of a common gnat. In unusual fashion, PNMS
has not even bothered to upload these unaudited "financials" to pinksheets.com, thereby avoiding being made answerable to as few as possible over the
claims made by the company.
Pedro the Panamanian Kool Aid Man
Additional problems concern an announced, but never delivered land dividend. The company's explanation for why this dividend was not given to it's shareholders is wholly inadequate.
With up to 6 billion shares outstanding, PNMS has fallen from a post 7/12/2005 reverse-split high of about 4 cents a share to less than 2 tenths of a penny
while the company claims assets have grown from less than $500,000.00 to more than 100 million "against the law to verify" dollars. Shareholders have
lost nearly everything, but the company keeps its offices in the prestigious Crescent Court complex just outside of Downtown Dallas.
In an attempt to explain the pathetic price performance of PNMS stock, typical cries of "It's from the short sellers" have surfaced. Unfortunately for the
proponents of this suggestion, the most recent short interest report from the NASD shows a total short interest of only 243,968 shares, or about $400.00
worth. This amount of stock sold short would not effect the price of PNMS at all.
Mike Ten Large Terrell of PNMS proves that some microcap CEOs
must believe their shareholders to be little more than village idiots.

USXP
Code named: Luggage Loot
USXP CEO Richard Altomare
For several years, Altomare told shareholders he was a former US Marine Captain. The United States Marine Corp denied it and he dropped it from his bio.
Adjusted for a one for 70 reverse split in 1998, as of 6/30/2006, the USXP shell had issued 979.575 billion shares since it was created. It is worse now.
The current O/S is over 16 billion shares. This has made Altomare a very rich man, but with the USXP stock price mired at a tenth of a penny, his
shareholders have not been so lucky.

The CEO may lose millions for the company while shareholders are wiped out and he lives high on the hog, but investors can take heart in one thing.
USXP has sponsored a race car complete with all the side benefits for Mr. Altomare!

CSHD Scam
Code named: Bonded Whiskey
CEO Rufus Paul Harris presided over one of the most devastatingly fast pump and dumps in Penny Stock History! While always giving his shareholders
a parting drunken wish of "Godspeed", Harris insisted CSHD had assets of up to 5 billion dollars and phantom interest income in the millions which would
allow the company to build a moonbase among other absurd claims.
With victimized churchgoers buying in a frenzy, the stock zoomed from .08 to 4.00 but the SEC did not agree with Harris and sued the company and
Rufus Paul in Federal Court ordering him to cease and desist from making such claims.
Recently, information has come to light that a Federal Grand Jury has been convened to consider criminal charges against those behind the CSHD scam.
The sordid affair has buried shareholders with CSHD now trading at a price of approximately 2 to 5 cents.

The Global Developments, Inc (GDVM) Scam, code named:
A Den of Underworld Moles
Featuring The Briner Group with partners otcfilers.com, and West Coast Stock Transfer, backed by the notorious "Dr Evil", Erwin Liem.
Former Briner Group clients and victims are suing. The most famous of which is The World Hockey Association (WHKA), led by former hockey great
Bobby Hull. The WHA claims Briner and his associates have caused immeasurable damages to their league and company which caused WHKA stock to
plummet from approximately one dollar to below one penny.
In another New Jersey action, a controlling shareholder of BGUE claims her personal stock was stolen by Briner and he that basically hijacked the shell
and issued stock to related parties with whom there was no arm's length distance in a scheme to enrich Briner and his partners at the expense of the real shareholders of BGUE.
GDVM stock plunged from a split adjusted $2500.00 per share to a mere 1.65 during the one year preceeding the resignation of Boss Lex Luthor Briner. Less
than one month later, the stock was buried at 52 cents as the disaster continued. Shareholders were completely wiped out as all attempts to average down
proved fruitless! Briner stepped down from GDVM on 4/03/07 in what appears to us to be a forced resignation. Briner is a 30 year-old Vancouver Securities
Lawyer and also runs John D Briner Law Corp., a firm specializing in securities law. Boss Briner has previously postured himself in the media as an
anti-fraud activist. Heaven help us all! Within approximately 30 days, the SEC has halted two companies under Operation Spamalot in which GDVM has
claimed a substantial interest. Even more GDVM "portfolio companies" have been flagged for spam by spamnation.com.
The shady GDVM players, led by Vancouver's Briner Clan
