The poor would not see much change; they have next to nothing anyway. The truly wealthy might not be quite so wealthy, but they always seem to hang onto their ill-gotten gains, or conversely, perhaps go on a buying spree of now cheap enterprises within which they could employ dirt-cheap labour. It is the hundreds of millions in the middle who would be affected most. The end result might just be the military application of nuclear weapons on a chosen target, as the wounded economic beast strikes out at its media created imaginary foes, blaming the rest of the world for their own stupid culpability.

Jokes

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan."

Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal.

Her husband responds, "If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."

Installing Love

Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?

Customer: Well , after much consideration, I've decided to install Love.
Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are Running?

Tech Support: What programs are running?

Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

TechSupport: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer Disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?

Customer: I don't Know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
I loved this!
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program not running on internal components." What should I do?

Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before We hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

Russia’s gold and forex reserves reach all-time high

Article

Russia kicked out the Jewish bankers from "The West" (read: Ivy Leaguers from the U.S. like Bernanke) and defaulted on its debt in 1998. It has NO (ZERO) foreign debt and is rapidly accumulating reserves, as this shows.

The U.S. (still ruthlessly controlled by its increasingly desperate bankers, the same ones who salivated over those Iraqi oil reserves) is many TRILLIONS in debt to foreigners and has NO reserves.

Our central bank, even if it does have any gold, is privately controlled and owned by the same New York banks which are now going around the world begging for donations.

George W. Bush (really Cheney, as 'Gee Dubya' is just along for the ride) succeeded in DESTROYING this country as a viable entity going forward and anyone reading this who voted for him should ABJECTLY APOLOGIZE to his or her descendants, if any, for what you have done to their future.

Breaking phase ahead for the global financial system in 2008

It may be happening even today. This was one of my main reasons in opposition to the so-called "Global War on Terror," which was based on the "false flag" of 9/11 and was designed to control through imperial armed force the resources of the Middle East.

It had to go EXACTLY according to plan or this was always going to be the end result, financial Armageddon for the so-called "West," which really only comprises three countries at this point—the United States and the United Kingdom along with their tiny client-state (armed with at least 300 blackmail-inducing nukes) on the Mediterranean, Israel.

SWF'S - SAVIOURS OR HARBINGERS OF ECONOMIC APOCALYPSE?

It has long been a dream of the Kremlin for stronger ties with the Chinese, who up until Yeltsin's disastrous reign, viewed the Russians with caution due to the far greater military and economic power they represented against a backward underdeveloped China. However now that the roles have been reversed, allows for the possibilities of far greater co-operation between the two states as trade links continue to grow, both commercial and military.

http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/walayat/2008/0103.html

It is nearly impossible to overstate the damage Cheney/Bush has done by orchestrating the "war on terror" paradigm against what is, for all intents and purposes, a totally nonexistent military threat, even if 9/11 was what his administration claims it was.

The last seven years have seen the U.S. spend itself into bankruptcy, develop and cement its status as the "bad guy" on the world stage and distract the masses in this country from the real "war" (which is economic and which the Americans are losing in a rout).

The Coming Destruction of Huckabee

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/11908

This really rings true. The GOP only really agrees with the "Christians" who focus on the Old Testament. That's why I took to calling Bush an "Old Testament Christian" at least six years ago. All his rhetoric right after 9/11 was "eye-for-an-eye"-style bombast. I should just shorten that to "bomb."

Yesterday for some reason there was an Air Force fighter jet "doing maneuvers" close to the ground which had taken off from our local airport. I know about this because it was frightening the locals enough to where it merited attention on the Sheriff's Office scanner. The dispatcher explained to the deputy that it was USAF-sanctioned.

I told the people I work with, "Well, you knew it had to happen eventually. They've run out of other countries to bomb. Now it's our turn."

BBC Censored Benazir Bhutto's Reports that Bin Laden Had Been Murdered

BBC is reporting today that Benazir Bhutto has just released a new video from an undisclosed location calling on her followers to perpetuate the myth that she is still alive, just as bin Laden allegedly has been doing for the last six years.
