I taught Anatomy for all those years and did not really come out and tell it like it is for all those mothers in my class that football was not a sport. I feel bad about that. It is about vicarious violence. It is the Roman gladiators killing other humans. It is a death struggle and humans pay a lot of money to see other people die. The same reason why people come out from everywhere to see a car accident or a shooting. It is the worst of human nature.
The other side of football. I have permanent issues with my neck after playing football in high school and college. Thank God I was not good enough to play in the pros. In fact I was a bench warmer in college. I did however coach in high school and I wish I had never been part of the game. I still bet on football because after all I am a gambler. My son hurt his knee when he was playing football in high school. He never tried again. I told him how lucky he was that it is only his knee. My twins were never good at sports. That was a blessing. They are the only ones without permanent damage. My son had a good friend that was good. He played for USC. His father just recently committed suicide because he was really good and played in the pros. The pain was too much to bear. A former line backer for the Dolphins who I got to know well had a young child. He could not even pick up the child. Why do we not see these stories on the sports pages? It is all about the money. Here is a story you should all read if you have children that want to play football. Do not let them play that game.
Thank you for the tip on your board. It was great. I want to apologize for leaving your board. I had to battle the rabid left professors for about 25 years. They are nasty and I have a full arsenal of venom I can attack with. It serves no purpose. We have a few left of center posters here. I love having a dialogue with them and I respect them. Can you imagine anyone here calling someone a shit eating dog or an ignorant fool? It just would never happen. Your board is still a very valuable resource for members here. But you will lose most of them if you let a lefty take over your board.
More detail on how the enemy in the White House is going for your jugular. The clown from Minnesota objects to another minute from a senator. This is the guy that was elected by voter fraud. We are fighting for our very lives. This process started in the sixties and now we have colleges full of the enemy. These were the domestic terrorists and the drug criminals. They are now professors all across the country. Here a former defector from the former Soviet Union tells how it is done. Putin told us this was happening to us. Hugo told us that this was happening to us. The Tea Party out polls the democrats 43 percent to 38 percent. The Republicans are not even in the game. Americans are getting educated. I hope it is not too late. Here is the complete step by step take down of America.
1. Demoralization
This phase usually takes 15-20 years. The key is the
takeover of the public education system in which an
entire generation can be exposed to the ideology of the
enemy, while being protected under the guise of
freedom of speech within the academic community. It is
also of primary importance to create an atmosphere within
the academic community where dissent is not tolerated, by
mandating what is, and what is not - politically correct.
Primary goals are to destroy the existing cultural values
by blurring the lines between good and evil, law and order,
capitalism and socialism, legal vs. illegal residency,
organized religion and Unitarian-new age-ism, the roles of
the sexes, and to destroy the family unit.
This is the phase in which future leaders are indoctrinated,
and academics, journalists, and politicians are trained.
This was accomplished in America during the 1960's-1980's.
2. Destabilization
This is where "sleepers" - those educated and indoctrinated
in the "demoralization" phase appear out of no where and rise
to power in the government (realize Bezmenov said this in 1983!
Think Obama, and all these Czars and key advisers who were
lifelong communists and socialists that no one had ever heard of).
These sleepers suddenly rise to leadership positions in the
government and begin to seize power. It's all about seizing
power. Also those in academia, law, and the media begin to
exert Marxist-Leninist influence and views - always without
labeling them as such.,
Those in military leadership positions are screened for, and
selected relative to their "globalist" views.
The government begins to involve itself in the economy
by intervening in the markets (bank bailouts, picking winners
and losers ie: Bear/Lehman, emergency stimulus bills,
Big Pharma H1N1 flu vaccine agenda), and corporate management
(industry czars, NGO partnerships, forcing out GM's Rick Waggoner,
and Bank of America's Ken Lewis), wages (banker bonus taxes,
pay caps, pay czars), unions and labor (SEIU, GM/Chrysler takeover).
Key areas targeted are trade and the economy (NAFTA, GATT),
foreign policy (detente, normalization of relations with the
communists - Soviets, China/WTO) , defense systems (nuclear
disarmament, selling key technology and weapons systems to
foreign powers, downsizing and/or over-extending the military).
This is also where you begin to see the militarization of the
police, and the police surveillance state begins to focus on
the general populace who suddenly become an enemy of the state.
This is where America finds itself today and the blueprint
Bezmenov laid out 25 years ago has been followed to "the T."
3. Crisis
The crisis phase is preceded by a period when legitimate
governmental, political, market, and economic structures begin
to collapse, and when non-elected government entities
(Czars, special masters), begin to seize power and control.
re: collapse - think the banking system, Fannie, Freddie, the
FDIC, the Pension Guaranty Benefit Trust Corp, Cities and States,
public and private pension plans, the automobile industry,
health care and Cap & Trade.
After the government has seized power and control over
the economy, the markets, the media, academia and the
educational system, the police surveillance state begins
to be rapidly rolled out in advance of a "planned crisis
and event - trigger."
STOP! - This is where America is today.
Next comes a final event, or crisis, in which the
government seizes complete and total power, and the people
stand down, as the populace looks to government as their savior.
This could be a nuclear, or bio-terrorism attack, a pandemic,
or a final apocalyptic dollar, or banking crisis.
And Bezmenov emphasizes this key point:
The period in which the government will seize power and
in which freedom will cease to exist, usually unfolds in
a time frame (start to finish) of six weeks, or less!
If it happens - it will happen that fast.
And sadly, they've been drilling for just that - ie:
this summer's NLE-09 drills with military forces from
14 foreign nations on U.S. soil.
4. Normalization
This doesn't mean what you think it means, because it's not
from your perspective, it's from theirs.
Normalization for them means the tanks are in the streets -
literally. This would be a state of martial law that would
slowly transition to a Soviet style police/surveillance state.
This is the final takeover, when the round up of dissidents
begins to take place, when borders are closed, when travel
is restricted, and when capital can no longer flee.
This is when it's too late to do anything about it.
And sadly, this where 97% of the population finally "get's it."
Bezmenov's main point, is American's must never allow their
country to get to this point. But sadly, with what we
allowed to happen post-911 with Bush's Executive Orders,
with PD 51, with the Patriot Act, and with Obama's
blitzkrieg of Czars, Copenhagen, Cap & Trade, and Obamacare.
Bezmenov also underscored the point that this is about
a coming "world communist system" and if ever America
falls to global governance, there would be no safe haven
left for Americans to flee to, as America would be the
last domino to fall.
And given what has happened in the EU with the Lisbon Treaty
ending national sovereignty for 27 nations and half a billionpeople - that is true.
Most Americans have no idea what the Lisbon Treaty has
created for the EU. It is literally a new totalitarian
Super-Soviet, and that's EXACTLY what it was always
intended to be.
KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov warned America 25 years ago
that it's people were at war (whether they realized it,
or not) with the international central banks and their own
political leaders who wished to impose a world communist
system upon the United States.
And for anyone who has ever studied history, this should
not be a surprise.
This was the purpose behind forming the League of Nations,
and the United Nations.
This was the purpose of behind the Federal Reserve System,
and the formation of the IMF and the World Bank.
This was the purpose behind the formation of the great
tax exempt foundations (Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie etc)
after the forced break up of the money trusts, as documented
in the Reece Committee hearings.
These were the same people who in Europe created the Coal and Steel
Community in 1951, The Treaty of Rome in 1957, The Single
European Act in 1986, The Maastricht Treaty in 1992, The
Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001,
and who when the newly proposed EU Constitution was voted
down in 2005, bypassed both existing government and the
people with the passage of the post-democratic Lisbon
Treaty in 2009.
This group was led by Fabian socialists who preferred
gradualism and incrementalism to violent revolution. And
who planned decades ago to one day bypass auto-determination
and democracy, by stealth, deceptions, and lies instead
of a full frontal assault. And that's exactly what they did.
Fabian socialism is the political ideology favored by the
economists coming out of the University of Chicago, the
London School of Economics, the UN, and the IMF.
Two other well known and open Fabian socialists are Tony Blair
and Gordon Brown. Both are members of Britain's Labour Party,
which is a member party of the Socialist International, a
leftist organization committed to "democratic socialism."
And the core of this group is found within the RIIA (The Royal
Institute Of International Affairs), which is the sister
group to America's CFR (Council of Foreign Relations).
Every major "shadow government" group in both Europe and
America, is controlled by those who support a communist
system of global government.
And please don't get bogged down in the semantic arguments
between communism, Marxism, Marxist-Leninism, socialism,
fascism, statism, or corporatism, because they all share
the same roots, the same power base, and global governance
will be a combination of all the ism's.
That the new post-Lisbon EU, Soviet-Super State is rooted in
socialism and communism should no longer be news to anyone,
especially with now 1/3rd of the EU commissioners being
life long socialists, or communists.
But Americans are still indoctrinated and brain washed to
believe that threat of communism and socialism doesn't
exist in the U.S., and that the threat of communism was
entirely a figment of the imagination of Joe McCarthy.
Think again...
Both David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Obama's mentor)
are both open and public proponents of a one world, global
government, and world socialism.
So are virtually all members of the CFR, the Trilateral
Commission, and all the major Think Tanks, Round Table
Groups, and major Foundations.
While David Rockefeller's views on global government and
socialism have been widely known since his days at Harvard,
where his senior thesis was on Fabian Socialism, it is
Brzezinski, Obama's foreign policy adviser and mentor that
people should thoroughly familiarize themselves with.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is an advocate of socialist world
government, a goal he has promoted as a member of the Center
for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Brzezinski was also a keynote speaker at former Soviet Premier,
and globalist, communist, Mikhail Gorbachev’s first "World Forum."
Gorbachev of course, is one of the main leaders of the
global Green movement. And if people by now haven't
realized that the old Red's, have become the new Green's,
God help them.
With the passage of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU has become
the modern Soviet Super State. 500 million formerly free
people from 27 nation states, no longer having a vote, or
a voice, in their new un-elected supra-national EU Commission
in Brussels, which writes all laws, has the only vote that
counts, and is now unanswerable to any electorate - only
to other supra-national technocrats who only answer to the
international central bankers, and Europe's aristocratic,
multi-generational ruling class.
The coup d'etat of Europe is complete.
And the modern day Fabian's did what the revolutionaries like
Stalin, and Hitler couldn't do - they took over all of Europe,
and ended democracy. And they did it without firing a single shot.
And now only America remains.
But they know that America can never willingly accept
socialism, or knowingly give up it's soverignty. So they'll
use the same incrementalism and gradualism that they used
with the EU, where the power and structure of the existing
U.S. government is slowly hollowed out, and where sovereignty
is stealthily given away to a supra-national global government
via treaties and trade agreements.
And that's why the fight against socialized health care,
the Copenhagen Treaty, and Cap & Trade is so important.
Because a health care plan that no longer even contains the
key components Democrats wanted, and isn't wanted by Republican's,
surely proves that Obamacare was never really about health care.
It's about getting the socialist camel's nose under the tent.
And remember what Lenin said about healthcare:
"Medicine is the keystone in the arch of the socialist state."
-- Vladimir Lenin
And for those who naively belive that a soft form of
democratic-socialism wouldn't be such a bad thing,
and that you'd be able to adapt, and it really wouldn't
change America all that much, thinking it will be like
living in France - you would be very wrong.
You see, the soft form of democratic-socialism like
you see in France is about to end. And it's not what
they've planned for America either.
I'll write more about the myth of soft socialism over
the coming weeks. In the meantime, fully comprehend
this paragraph, because there is not one word of
hyperbole, or exaggeration in it, and they mean every
word of it...
"Effective execution of UN AGENDA 21 will require a profound
reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world
has ever experienced - a major shift in the priorities of both
governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment
of human and financial resources. This shift will demand that
a concern for the environmental consequences of every human
action be integrated into individual and collective decision-
making at every level."
- United Nations "AGENDA 21"
"A profound reorientation of all human society
unlike anything the world has ever experienced."
Soft socialism, and democratic, French-style socialism,
isn't a profound reorientation of all of human society.
And it isn't - "unlike anything the world has ever experienced."

Cloward-Piven Government
By James Simpson
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/clowardpiven_government.html
Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were two lifelong members of Democratic Socialists of America who taught sociology at Columbia University (Piven later went on to City University of New York). In a May 1966 Nation magazine article titled "The Weight of the Poor," they outlined their strategy, proposing to use grassroots radical organizations to push ever more strident demands for public services at all levels of government.
The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."
They implemented the strategy by creating a succession of radical organizations, most notable among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), with the help of veteran organizer Wade Rathke. Their crowning achievement was the "Motor Voter" act, signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993 with Cloward and Piven standing behind him.
As we now know, ACORN was one of the chief drivers of high-risk mortgage lending that eventually led to the financial crisis. But the Motor Voter law was another component of the strategy. It created vast vulnerabilities in our electoral system, which ACORN then exploited.
ACORN's vote registration scandals throughout the U.S. are predictable fallout.
The Motor Voter law has also been used to open another vulnerability in the system: the registration of vast numbers of illegal aliens, who then reliably vote Democrat. Herein lies the real reason Democrats are so anxious for open borders, security be damned.
It should be clear to anyone with a mind and two eyes that this president and this Congress do not have our interests at heart. They are implementing this strategy on an unprecedented scale by flooding America with a tidal wave of poisonous initiatives, orders, regulations, and laws. As Rahm Emmanuel said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste."
The real goal of "health care" legislation, the real goal of "cap-and-trade," and the real goal of the "stimulus" is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
This time, in addition to overwhelming the government with demands for services, Obama and the Democrats are overwhelming political opposition to their plans with a flood of apocalyptic legislation. Their ultimate goal is to leave us so discouraged, demoralized, and exhausted that we throw our hands up in defeat. As Barney Frank said, "the middle class will be too distracted to fight."
These people are our enemies. They don't use guns, yet, but they are just as dangerous, determined, and duplicitous as the communists we faced in the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, and bush wars across the globe, and the Nazis we faced in World War II.
It is time we fully internalized and digested this fact, with all its ugly ramifications. These people have violated countless laws and could be prosecuted, had we the political power. Not only are their policies unconstitutional, but deliberately so -- the goal being to make the Constitution irrelevant. Their spending is off the charts and will drive us into hyperinflation, but it could be rescinded, had we the political power. These policies are toxic, but they could be stopped and reversed, had we the political power. Their ideologies are poisonous, but they could be exposed for what they are, with long jail sentences as an object lesson, had we the political power.
Every single citizen who cares about this country should be spending every minute of his or her spare time lobbying, organizing, writing, and planning. Fight every initiative they launch. It is all destructive. If we are to root out this evil, it is critical that in 2010 we elect competent, principled leaders willing to defend our Constitution and our country. Otherwise, the malevolent cabal that occupies the government today will become too entrenched.
After that, all bets are off.

Since I am not trading now I do not want to be giving opinions on stocks that I am not to speed on. I have been very concerned with my large investment in Honduras. In a couple of weeks I am going down to check it out. My son has agreed to go with me because he speaks Spanish. My views on politics are known by everyone on this board. That is why I quit posting them. And I think that has helped the board concentrate on MAKING money and not LOSING money. You and the other mods can decide if you want to replace me as assistant mod. Right now I contribute little.
You can always go back in but you can never get your money back if you ride it down to nothing. I have a few boards that I go back and visit. Some I left with a profit, some I left with a loss. But I NEVER held for a complete wipe out.
When a stock has had a good run and a lot of people have a profit we have a contest between fear and greed. If some of the people see that their profit is disappearing they have a choice. Buy the dips or get the hell out. I get the hell out.
Let's cut to the chase here. Lefty is a generic term that means big government, no rewards for hard work and risk taking, no disincentives for people that make poor decisions and demand hand outs. I have never made personal insults part of any post. That is a speciality of a lefty. They always attack the messenger as they follow the hand book for radicals. You have a right to see me as an ignorant fool. Asus and Lake have often had opinions counter to mine. They never feel the need to attack me personally. They have what my mother would call "a little class." Since I do not respond in kind I will again take a break from posting here. I only started posting again when you were gone. Now I see it is again time to leave. If Asus or Lake want to send me something of interest we have a free board after trading hours.
That is exactly how I see it. I would not keep a lot of dollars in the years ahead. I will keep gasoline and put some stabilizer in it. I will keep my two homes because they will retain value because you will not be able to build new homes if the price of everything rises. I have a garden and if necessary I could live on what I produce. If others that I care about do not have food they can come and farm with me. But I will not feed them with out their work too. Right now people tell my wife how lucky she is to be able to go out and get fresh produce from the garden. Then when they are asked if they would like to garden also they say I do not have the ability to do that. I am in my seventies and I can work in the garden. Some of the younger people are so fat and out of shape they would die in the first hour.
Must I assume that I will be called a shit eating dog again if I continue to post here. You have a great story and I enjoyed reading it. It is unfortunate that with your talent and obvious intellect that you can not accept the fact that others have different opinions.
My son's ex-wife had a brother that worked for United Fruit as a manager. He lost his job when the fruit company moved to Costa Rica. I have visited the closed up buildings and the houses that people that worked for the company used for employees. He came to this country and started cleaning toilets at a hotel. Now he is the manager of one of them. These people do know how to work. But I agree that the workers should get a bigger slice of the action. But as long as you have poverty in a country you still need the investors or you have no jobs. The hard working Cubans which include my wife and family are an asset to this country. They could have been assets to Castro. Now the Cubans coming to this country and worthless. They only know the drug business or scam the government programs. Some stole hundreds of millions from medicare and medicaid.
I will be going to Honduras soon. I was waiting to see if Hugo, Zelaya and Obama would support a leftist dictatorship. It took four months but Obama backed off when he saw he was on the wrong side. I think Hilary was on the right side. She is the better leader of the two. This is the first defeat for Hugo. His thugs were sent to Roatan the last time I was there. They started a riot just down the street from my place. I got a call from the former governor of the island yesterday. He said that the people have won. The biggest fear he had was Obama. Hugo along with Castro and Obama would have been a disaster for the people of Honduras and me. Obama has the lowest rating of any new president right now. This was a test and he passed with a D-.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703939404574566150432623012.html?mod=wsj_share_facebook
I was a poor farmer's son. We worked from 5:00 in the morning to 9:00 at night. Times were very difficult. We traded what we produced and even paid our doctor bills with steaks and hams we produced on the farm. Doctors then were not rich. No job was too low for us. I picked potatoes along with the Mexicans and Blacks. We all looked out for each other. On Sunday I had a poor Mexican family over for dinner and played softball with my grand daughter and the Mexican kids. I remember where I came from. I found a project for the older kids to work on so they could earn some money. But first I had to have some money. Saving money and investing is hard and risky work. I have lost everything three times. But still I managed to retire with money to invest. Now we have lefties that just want to take my money and give it to people that do not work. I do not have any sympathy for most rich people because they cheat the system and do not pay their fair share in taxes. Most of the crooks in Washington cheated their way to riches. Both parties are dogs. There is no reason why being in congress should not be just a job where you work by the hour and live on a hundred thousand a year. But you never seen a person in Washington who is poor. They use the poor to enrich themselves. The Chicago Mafia that is now in charge is the worst I have ever seen in Washington. We need to forget about party and vote for people that have not sold out. Right now you must have at least 100 million to run for office. Many people on this board would be better than what we have in Washington now. The problem is that they would have to sell out to get elected. I could never get elected even though I have more credentials than most in Washington. They are mostly lawyers that have never had a real job. People like Obama could never make it in the business world. I started three businesses and failed every time. My wife is smarter than I am and works like a mule. She has a successful business. She has only one employee and will not hire more or even try to expand with lefties in control. Lefties do not work. They lie, cheat and steal from the people that sometimes work themselves to death. They lie to the masses to get elected and then they steal to make themselves rich.
Chuck is one of the brightest lights we have in the country. I wish he would team up with Palin and be her mentor. She can tell it in a way that the common man can understand. If you use big words when describing your philosophy and vision you lose your momo. Sarah can talk to the masses and they vote. The most radical, the most sinister, the most evil and the most controlling group of thugs in the history of the world have taken the white house and congress. I was threatened with death when I tried to get union members to work back in Illinois. Can you imagine the threats that honest and decent people sent to congress must deal with?
We have two brains competing for control of our lives. The rational thinking brain can be over powered by our emotional brain. I am mostly a left brained just the facts mam type. The major downfalls in my life came when my emotional brain was on overload. When I was working hard on a task, the lefties were meeting behind my back to disparage me and my work. I was transferred in one of those back room deals. Since I could not get the facts my emotional brain made up things and I ended up in a mental hospital. My brain did heal and my rational brain did return. But I will never trust a lefty again in this life time. The experience did make me stronger and I now watch my emotional brain like a hawk. Primates are not my nature monogomous. Therefore do not expect most people to remain faithful. The centers for food intake and sex are both in the same general area of the brain. People that get out of balance in those areas live a tragic life. Religion can help a lot of people with the balance between the two brains. It can provide a bed rock that does not change daily. Even though I am not religious now, lessons learned early in life about honesty, integrity and hard work came from church. When my kids were young they would do things without consulting me. They always made the wrong choice when they came to a fork in the road. Now they always call me BEFORE they make a major decision. We discuss which part of the brain they are using since all decisions do have unintended consequences. Lefties can be highly intelligent but they are prone to make decisions based on feelings. Since they have no bed rock beliefs they often turn to drugs and self destructive behavior. My son just informed me that a lefty in charge of a big division was charged with stealing for leftist causes. A homosexual that was abusing illegals sexually had previously been given officer of the year. Again they were feeling proud that they were politically correct and failed in their judgement.
Here is why Obama's numbers continue to fall. Cult members have wormed their way into the election process. Cult members have wormed their way into the White House. Cult members have wormed their way into schools. We do not hate Obama because of his skin color. He represents the worst elements in tyranny. Do not take our kids. http://news.aol.com/article/missouri-schools-complain-over-supplies/805769
I am a scientist. I have done research but I have not doctored the data. A scientist does start with a wild ass guess. Then you do some sampling and read and study every available source of other research on the subject. But you run your own tests to see if there is any junk science that passed through the filter of reproducing the same results. Climate science is not my bag so I just try to keep an open mind. A scientist can not have faith. Only cults and religionists can have faith. I have no problem with lefty scientists when they do not doctor the data to fit their agenda. In fact 90 percent of the professors I worked with were on the left side of politics. The problem is that in order to get funding for their research they often had to curry favor from a politician. When I visited the new nuclear power plant at Turkey Point the folks there offered me free reign to study the effects of the warm water coming from the plant on the wild life. We did not get as far as asking for financial help but I got the impression that my numbers could be published without FPL messing with the numbers. I do know of cases where drug companies and oil companies do not want real numbers.
That is pretty much the way I see it. All of my kids are now in stay out of debt mode. No credit cards, no new cars, and no big gambles with money. It has been painful for me to watch some of the super traders make a fortune in this market. I still suspect that many--including people on this board will stay too long or not be on the right side of trades. I am only trying to stay in survival mode now. I do not eat out, I do not take trips other than business trips and I avoid all contact with lefties. I find it interesting that people who do not know what I did for a living for 40 years come to my home and lecture me on how I am wrong about science, the economy, Obama the Terrible, Nancy the Loon, Hairy the gibbon and Barney the crook. You can not teach a lefty so I do not even try. The business of this country used to be business. Now Obama the Terrible has filled the highest positions of power with parasites, crooks, communists and ideologues that went to schools in the East and schools in the West and were indoctrinated by communist professors. There are no business people in government now. They got bullshit degrees in law and political science. Then they got into government. Their only goal is to stay in power. They pass bills that they have never read. The Tea Party is ahead of the Republican party and is gaining every day on the Jack Ass party.
This board has a lot of readers and that includes me. Asus has done a great job of letting the ideas flow. Even some lefties post good thought provoking ideas. On my board I never could keep them from attacking other posters so I had to ban them. That is why I come here. We have to remember that lefties are Americans too. They have a right to speak and be heard. The problem is that they do not want other voices to be heard. I had a lefty inform me that he was taking over my board. Seniors built this country and now are in grave danger. The left wants to take their wealth and spend it on their people. I just survived a leftist takeover in Honduras. I have invested 300,000 and could have lost it all over there. Many people were hired because of my investments. No one invests when they see a lefty in charge. People like me who have some money will not invest in this country as long as the communist agenda is in place. Public sector unions have bankrupted all states that have gone left. Now the federal government wants to take from the states that have controlled government spending and give it to states like California. I talked to a businessman in California yesterday not knowing he was based in San Francisco. When I found out he was based in California I said no thanks. He could not understand what I had against that state. He was totally delusional.
Random thoughts. I was never political until Bush and Obama took the country in the wrong direction. Scientists have always been held in high regard in this country. Until now they had always had peer reviews to keep them honest. My wife worked for three years doing research to undo some junk science. The lefties led by Al Gore are in full retreat. Scientists were cooking the books on global warning to get control over our economic base. I am not proud. Obama does not lead. He campaigns using tired old platitudes. Since he has never had a real job all he can do is the leftist bullshit. I have noticed the great calls continue on this board. I have not commented on any stocks for a long time. My job has always been to educate. Now I have a legion of senior citizens who I am in contact with all over the country. I have not tried to push any party but I have tried with all my experience and intellect to combat the criminals-many have entered the Washington gang of corruption. Many of the people I have corresponded with voted for Obama and now understand what they did was very foolish. Just because someone says they will now vote for the repubs is not the answer. I am asking all the people to think and become an independent. If you are new here I want to welcome you. I have known all of the mods here for years. They make calls that can make money. If they are playing a TURD it is for momo only. We take profits here!! Put up you ideas on how to make money. But I still want all opinions and I do not care if they are the opposite of mine. Manti has been hot and Cowboy has always been hot. Cowboy set up this board for me and is one of the best traders on the Hub. But you still have to learn to take profits or you will ride his stocks up and then ride them down. We like to go free shares as soon as possible. When a stock mentioned here doubles you take out the seed money. Let the profits run until you find a better horse to ride. In the past I rode three different stocks to half a million. Then I got greedy and watched it disappear. If you are not careful you will get psychosis counting your paper profit. Manti is a very savy trader and I do not worry about him or Cowboy for that matter. I do worry about new people who do not yet have battle scars.
As a biologist I can understand the sex drive. I told my wife that if she needed more sex than I could deliver all she had to do was tell me and I would help her find some relief. Honesty in a relationship and the trust that comes from honesty is the glue that holds a relationship together. Cheating does not solve anything. But in France couples live together for a life time and when they need a little extra sex it is no big deal. Lying and cheating are the big deal.
She kept yelling fore every time she took a swing. All of the neighbors were ducking and running for cover. Well the fore was four. That was the number of women she had discovered.
I remember the first time I went over a million. I sold some ERHE but should have sold it all. I sold a bunch around 50 cents and was out when it went below ten cents. We have the type of board that I always wanted. We talk about ideas that make money. Since I have about 600,000 tied up in real estate I have not been making any money. My posts are probably of little interest to most because I will make a lot of money or lose it all depending on politics. So far I think the worm has turned in my favor in Honduras. I want to congratulate you and all who have played hard and won since Cowboy put out his famous buy signal in March.
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/honduran-poll-splits-region/story-e6frg6ux-1225806346157The leader from Brazil is still meddling in Honduras. He wants to be like Hugo even more than Obama. I think he should go back to rebuilding the asses on the women in his country. They take fat from all over the body and stuff it into the ass to make it bigger and more shapely. I saw that a beauty queen just died when an ass lift went bad.
Mighty little Honduras took on the world in order to remain free. Hugo's thugs were there ready to take over. Honduras has won. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB30001424052748703939404574566150432623012.html
Here is a business that truly makes me sick. These people are more crooked and even more stupid than lefties in this country. I worry that as conditions continue to get more dire in this country groups will be targeted for killing. I am betting that it will be senior citizens. Many seniors are attacked each day in Miami and most do not carry guns. Out where I live every home is protected by guns and dogs and we look out for each other. I was wrong in my timing of the collapse in the markets but if I use my proven technique of selling strong up moves, I think the first quarter of 2010 is now the top. Look for the Dow to spike because that is the end when the Dow rides alone.
With lefty bullshit so pervasive in this country now a few new innovations come in handy. Here is one that I am sending some of my lefty relatives for Christmas. Just push the button and you get instant analysis. http://www.bswatch.com/
Respect to me is earned by everyone. Titles have no meaning to me. I was the only one in my department to tell my students to just call me Andy. I go to a whore house and I call the Madam by her first name. I go to congress and call a whore by his or her first name. Can you imagine me calling Barney by his title? Can you imagine me calling Nancy by her title? One of the reasons so many kids in this country are totally useless with no moral compass, integrity or work ethic is because we have people trying to build their self esteem with bullshit. Lefties like Al Gore, Baracky, Nancy, Barney do not have an ounce of character. They lie with every breath. I was the most popular professor with real students at my school. I was demanding, blunt and fair. I did not give away grades to black students because I felt superior to them. I kicked them in the ass like everyone else. I was at the mall last week and one of my black students came up to me and gave me a big hug. She is very successful because she never wanted bull shit. She wanted real skills with real opportunity.
Obama apologizes for America and bows to kings. But this is the last straw. http://twitpic.com/q1ljq
I will be going back to Honduras soon. I need to support the good people there. I do not have a lot of money but I can make donations to the clinic on Roatan and help the people resist Hugo and Obama. I hope someone will keep the pressure on the crooks in Washington. I just saw that the democrats are going to give 100 million to a senator from La to get her vote. I know Manti follows the communists just like I do. Maybe he will carry the ball until I get back. Cowboy won the battle of Virginia for me.
I had an interesting talk with a person from Le Ceiba, Honduras today. She is now working here because the communists thugs came to her business daily to demand she make donations to Zelaya and Hugo. When she could not give them enough and stay in business she sometimes said no. Then they told her that they know where she lives and where her kids go to school. She had to leave. My father in law was in a Cuban jail for dissenting when Castro took his business. It just gets worse in Cuba. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/americas/cuba/story/1341025.html
Now in the health bill there is a provision that will make it illegal to complain about the government. It will not be long before they come after me. If you look back to my posts from way before the democrats got control I have been right on the money. The vote on the health bill will be the beginning of the end or the start of the revolution. 2010 will be the last time to clean out the communists with ballots instead of bullets. I wish I was younger and had more energy for the fight. Thousands of people are turning out to hear Palin.
Why did I come up with the Friendly board? Friends will tell you both the good news and the bad news. Friends will tell you when they make a good call and will tell you when they make a bad call. A good call can be a winning bet if you cash your ticket. There is no such thing as a long term hold on this board. If you see a poster that tells everyone that he is always buying and has never sold a share he is either lying while he is selling or he is dumber than a stump. I have not made any real money this year but I have made friends. If you have friends you are rich.
You recruited most of them. This last guy we got as moderator is world class.
"Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana," said Martinez. "We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College, based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis." I started out as a Community College Professor. Thousands of my former students are now doctors and nurses that contribute to this country. With a little help from Obama we could have a Cannabis college in every community across this country. I try not to hate the long legged, smooth talking charlatan because that emotion is useless. I do have hope because of the stand that the good people in Virginia and New Jersey took. I can not trade now because I am working full time to save both of my homes. One in Honduras and one in Florida. I would like to contribute more to the poor folks fighting Hugo and Obama.
PORTLAND, Oregon — The United States' first marijuana cafe opened on Friday, posing an early test of the Obama administration's move to relax policing of medical use of the drug.
The Cannabis Cafe in Portland, Oregon, is the first to give certified medical marijuana users a place to get hold of the drug and smoke it — as long as they are out of public view — despite a federal ban.
"This club represents personal freedom, finally, for our members," said Madeline Martinez, Oregon's executive director of NORML, a group pushing for marijuana legalization.
"Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana," said Martinez. "We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College, based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis."
The cafe — in a two-story building which formerly housed a speak-easy and adult erotic club Rumpspankers — is technically a private club, but is open to any Oregon residents who are NORML members and hold an official medical marijuana card.
Members pay $25 per month to use the 100-person capacity cafe. They don't buy marijuana, but get it free over the counter from "budtenders". Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., it serves food but has no liquor license.
There are about 21,000 patients registered to use marijuana for medical purposes in Oregon. Doctors have prescribed marijuana for a host of illnesses, including Alzheimer's, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Tourette's syndrome.
On opening day, reporters invited to the cafe could smell, but were not allowed to see, people smoking marijuana.
"I still run a coffee shop and events venue, just like I did before we converted it to the Cannabis Cafe, but now it will be cannabis-themed," said Eric Solomon, the owner of the cafe, who is looking forward to holding marijuana-themed weddings, film festivals and dances in the second-floor ballroom.
NO PROSECUTION
The creation of the cafe comes almost a month after the Obama administration told federal attorneys not to prosecute patients who use marijuana for medical reasons or dispensaries in states which have legalized them.
About a dozen states, including Oregon, followed California's 1996 move to adopt medical marijuana laws, allowing the drug to be cultivated and sold for medical use. A similar number have pending legislation or ballot measures planned.
Pot cafes, known as "coffee shops", are popular in the Dutch city of Amsterdam, where possession of small amounts of marijuana is legal. Portland's Cannabis Cafe is the first of its kind to open in the United States, according to NORML.
Growing, possessing, distributing and smoking marijuana are still illegal under U.S. federal law, which makes no distinction between medical and recreational use.
Federal and local law enforcement agencies did not return phone calls from Reuters on Friday seeking comment on the Portland cafe's operations.
"To have a place that is this open about its activities, where people can come together and smoke — I say that's pretty amazing." said Tim Pate, a longtime NORML member, at the cafe.
Some locals are hoping it might even be good for business.
"I know some neighbors are pretty negative about this place opening up," said David Bell, who works at a boutique that shares space with the cafe. "But I'm withholding judgment. There's no precedent for it. We don't know what to expect. But it would great if it brought some customers into our store."
I think this post is about business (dirty business) so I guess it can be posted during this time frame. Obama gave the green light on this dark side of America. Since the only experience that Obama had in the business world was the drug business this should not be a surprise to anyone. The only people in my family that do not contribute to society and are parasites on the system are drug users. Because of drug and alcohol abuse one has a disability and gets free housing and 700 a month from the taxpayer. The only thing I am grateful about is that he was not my son. As a professor for over forty years I saw weed come to college in the sixties. I saw lazy, unfocused, parasites that wanted a free ride. The California disease has now taken Oregon and is spreading fast.
