Regarding the sun’s protective bubble failing, this is obviously due to our greenhouse gases from SUVs. At least I’m convinced that the failing of the sun’s protective bubble is just as much a man-made phenomenon as global warming is, which is to say, NONE!
FWIW, I’m still waiting to see the effect of the earth’s magnetic polarity reversal.
I’m going to be thinking about this post all night. There is some serious food for thought here. I need to ponder everything here.
Thanks for the throught-provoking post. All the Freepyannas and Obama conspiracy theorists need to read this post twice and look at the structural problems with the world’s economies and get off the mistaken beliefs that everything is fine and the MSM is just misleading people about the economy to get Obama elected and the economy will bounce back on November 5th.
Right after the election.
Don't take my word for it for all it matters, but the fact is that the markets are in a situation that cares very little whether Obama or McCain wins. There are VERY REAL issues going on that some section of FReepers are trying to ignore (kind of similar to how some FReepers were ignoring what Ex Texan was saying when he mentioned that the housing market had just become unsustainable). If the market goes down when Hussein gets some % point increases, peole say that it is because the market is afraid of Obambi. If the market goes down when McCain gets some % point increases (McC has gone up, yet the Dow futures right now are looking very scary), then the same people explain that divergence from their prior logic via saying that 'George Soros is manipulating the markets' to get Obama's points up again.
Let me tell you this ...this is beyond simple politics. The level of credit derivatives is more than most people can imagine (we are talking about trillions in nominal amounts, with players not even knowing how counter-parties are exposed, which has the effect of sterilizing liquidity).
Anyways, believe what you will, but even if McCain/Palin went up 80% points, and Obama decided to drop out of the race to go scrounge for his missing birth certificate, and Biden's scalp went super-nova due to all the foreign matter sitting a-top it, the markets wouldn't just say 'hallelujah' and recover!
That is, unless whoever becomes president waves a magic wand and everything gets rebooted in a flurry of pixie dust.
You say that despite what the 'experts' say that the reason the market is acting like this is due to people being afraid that the sheeple will elect Hussein. Well, what are your facts for saying so? Two, what about liquidity sterilization, the huge mass of CDS that are over 50 trillion, the extreme averseness to any counter-party risk? And third, how do you explain when the market goes down when McCain goes up? Or is that due to Soros?
No wonder you’re an EX Texan.
Why not stand up and fight for principles ? Even if it takes a long time and a lot of pain, is the US Constitution worth the fight ?
I’d say yes.
