This Is What Collapse Looks Like
2008-12-02 21:21:00 I am going to refrain from commenting much for a time on several newsworthy issues, including the ongoing ‘bailout’ fiasco (which should probably be called the Great Handout), Obama’s selection and betrayal, mounting job losses and manufacturing shutdowns, more combat troops in Amerika and the rising police state, and even the terrifying environmental collapse accelerations.

20,000 Combat Troops To Be Deployed Within The United States
2008-12-01 19:00:00 More tyranny in Amerika. Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, dedicating 20,000 troops to domestic response — a nearly sevenfold increase in five years — “would have been extraordinary to the point of unbelievable,” Paul McHale, assistant defense secretary for homeland defense, said in remarks last month at the Center for Strategic and International ...

Climate News
2008-11-29 06:17:00 I came across two articles today that deal with the same subject, from the same report. However, the difference in their reporting is quite remarkable. This is nothing new, skeptics or deniers will use the same data sets and the same reports to bolster their claims, and proponents will do the same, each cherrypicking their data ...

2008-11-26 09:59:00 I’ve been kinda “holding it in” lately, on purpose. Lots of hoopla and hoorah and blah blah going on out there in Net land, but it doesn’t really mean much.

The True Cost Of Gold
2008-11-21 03:30:00 Gold is always thought of as a “precious metal” due to it’s rare nature and the difficulty (human labor) in obtaining it.

I.D.J.I.T.
2008-11-20 06:26:00 I recently commented about the lackadaisical actions exhibited by “American Patriots”. While I’m not particularly fond of picking on them as a unique group, they do represent what is also true for the rest of America. Which is namely “nothing”.

Rigging the Markets For Collapse
2008-11-18 03:59:00 Steve Lendman has a good post on the global markets and the speculation on how they might be further manipulated.
