“A cut aint a cut,” Sen. Coburn about 2 mins ago. I really don’t understand why repbulicans have not been able to make this point with the American people. A cut in the proposed rate of increase to a less unreasonable rate of increase IS NOT A CUT.
A distant thunder...
So, what is the difference between Martial Law and ECONOMIC Martial Law?
Had an eerie feeling this morning as I walked into the office building going to the elevators. In the front mezzanine area where the bank is, there were a dozen people or more standing there waiting eagerly for the bank to open for business. My first thought was, "Do these people know something that I don't know?". With all the drama going on over the budget fiasco and talk of default and also all the financial mess happening in Europe, I actually wondered for a moment if I was seeing the beginning of a bank run. Call me nervous.

Poor grammar and spelling makes a lot of people reach for the “Back” button.
At their own risk. Many of us will not sit still for that level of tyranny.
I would sure like our top candidates declare they will defund homeland security. A dangerous waste of money.
Directive 10-289
“In the name of the general welfare,” read Jeffrey Immelt the economics advisor, “to protect the people’s security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that—
“Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of law. The penalty shall be determined by the Super Congress, such Congress to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Super Congress, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
“Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.
“Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights. The Unification Board shall then license the use of such patents and copyrights to all applicants, equally and without discrimination, for the purpose of eliminating monopolistic practices, discarding obsolete products and making the best available to the whole nation. No trademarks, brand names or copyrighted titles shall be used. Every formerly patented product shall be known by a new name and sold by all manufacturers under the same name, such name to be selected by the Unification Board. All private trademarks and brand names are hereby abolished.
“Point Four. No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufactured or sold after the date of this directive. The Office of Patents and Copyrights is hereby suspended.
“Point Five. Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as it, they or he produced during the Zero Baseline Year, no more and no less. The year to be known as the Basic or Yardstick Year is to be the year ending on the date of this directive. Over or under production shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Super Congress.
“Point Six. Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less. Over or under purchasing shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Super Congress.
“Point Seven. All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive.
“Point Eight. All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Super Congress, whose decisions will be final.”
Ok that’s all of it. Please sit and think about this and what it means.
We could also be hit by an asteroid or comet.
Don’t go around tonight,
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Winter’s coming.
