Since 2009, the media has been pushing the lie that the economy is recovering. Article after article that things are great and we are in a historic boom has appeared. When the date did not appear as analysts expected, they used the term unexpected. The truth is the Obama Regime’s polices have failed.
his latest recession started in December 2007. Since the Great Depression75 years ago, recessions in America have lasted an average of 10 months, with the longest previously lasting 16 months, not counting this latest spooky downturn.
[....]
The labor force is actually 365,000 workers smaller today than it was in June 2009, when the recession supposedly ended. Counting population growth since then, the economy is actually missing 7.7 million workers that would be in the workforce if the labor force participation rate had remained the same since the supposed end of the recession three years ago.
As Investor’sBusinessDailyreported on May 7, “That’s in stark contrast to every other post-World War II expansion, which saw the labor force climb by millions at this point in their recoveries, even as unemployment rates were driven down.” Indeed, if labor-force participation had stayed the same as it was when the recession supposedly ended in June 2009, the unemployment rate would be 11 percent, as Investor’sBusinessDailyalso reported on May 7. That is a more realistic number because those millions of workers missing from the workforce still exist and still do not have jobs.
That is the only way the unemployment rate has been falling – working people giving up and dropping out of the workforce. As the WallStreetJournalreported in its weekend edition of May 5-6, “Nearly three years into the [Obama] recovery, the U.S. still employs 5 million fewer workers than before the recession.”
It amazes me that Obama’s poll ratings are still in the 40′s and he’s even competitive. This is due to the power and hold the media still has on people. Despite a failed economy people still view this man as a Sun King. The Obama Boom was lie that unfortunately too many people still are holding onto.

There are two Democrats running for President. What makes Democrats so greedy?
You don’t say so !
From a blog that is new to me.
“There is an old expression that applies here. “You can’t pick up one end of the stick without picking up the other.” You can’t screw the homeowner borrowers also without screwing the investors — pension funds etc.. The rating agencies have come to what is a startling conclusion for them — the assets are not real and the liabilities are grossly understated. The rating for these “banks” is about to be cut to junk status or below. Citi and BOA are headed for extinction sometime in the next 6 months (last time we said 6 months it was 6 weeks, when we predicted the fall of the banks, and the order in which they would fall).
So that is the prediction — no matter who is elected to the White House or Congress or legislatures or state law enforcement the banks and the regulators stepped on a rake in 1998 and it is now coming up to bash their head into tiny pieces that more than 7,000 performing and conforming banks are ready and willing to clean up. BOA and Citi are done.”
Having said that, Obama must be defeated!
Just about everything obama is a lie.
This is the legal blog I got the above quote from. Do not read unless you are in a very good mood. (and detail oriented)

When we went this morning they fitted him with some that will be similar to what will be made for him. He wore them for 4 hours and he said they were awesome. Now they order them. Tomorrow they will teach him how to put them in and take them out. Wednesday they should come in. Most of the week will be him learning how to put them in and take them out. We see the surgeon on Wednesday …don’t know what is going to happen there.

(JPost) — The Obama administration’s political and financial backing of the UN Human Rights Council resulted in another win for Hamas on Friday, June 22 in Geneva. A Hamas-affiliated organization and its supporters held an “informal parallel meeting” promoting the destruction of the Jewish state at the UN’s Palais des Nations.
The event was advertised on the UN website and listed on an official UN document headlined “Human Rights Council, twentieth session, 18 June–06 July 2012.”
Opening week of the Council’s latest session, therefore, featured both friends of Hamas sporting UN passes and championing an end to a Jewish state, and Obama’s Ambassador (and former California fundraiser) Eileen Donahoe painting the Council as the place to be to promote and protect human rights.
In recent months, top Israeli officials have pleaded with their US counterparts to end American legitimization of the Council in light of its virulently anti-Israel record. In fact, this is the first Council session in which Israel’s observer seat is empty. Instead, the Obama administration has doubled-down on its support for the UN body and continues to trumpet its decision to seek a second term on the Council at elections this fall.

The R’s and the D’s are NOT the same. The R’s are not commies. The R’s can wake up, if the cattle prod has sufficiently high voltage.
Even the D’s can awaken, if their utopia is finally enacted and they have to live the reality. They all expect to be giving the orders, not taking them. But not everyone gets to be the boss, and a lot of people will get the pointy end of the stick, and not the end with the corn dog on it. That alone will awaken many people.
As Frank Zappa famously said, Communism doesn’t work because people like to own stuff. D’s think taxing the $#!+ out of anything that works is a good idea. But once they lose 75% of the sweat of their brows to a gameplan in which they had no say, they can awaken. Once they are denied a heart transplant because they will be too expensive to maintain, they will awaken.
I do things to try to make the awakening come while there is still a chance to turn it around. There is a new radio talker in Houston, Richard “Mack” Machowicz, who was a Navy Seal for 10 years. He talks about grooming the warrior in each person, and getting that warrior to stand up and draw the line. He said there is a motto among Navy Seals -- Not Dead, Can’t Quit. That is now my motto.

I saw thata dn don’t agree. The Democrats are Marxists and the Republicans Progressives. They are both leftists. Both Democrats and Republicans support the Muslim Brotherhood. Both support Big Government Both are beholden to foreign interest.
Many Individual Republicans (like Allen Wes tor Bobby Jindal) and voters are good. But the Party is corrupt, evil and subservient to Islamic interests.
This is the last election I will ever vote Republican. I’m going Libertarian after this election. I am dead serious. If the GOP ever removed the Islamic influence and becomes Economic/Fiscal Conservatives then maybe I will rejoin. But I’m done with the GOP November 6th.

Who were the big winners e.g. in the airline industry during and after WWII ? Messerschmitt ? Certainly not but maybe Boeing ?
So may I assume that the U.S.A. and their investors respectively started WWII ?
That investors are behind wars is an old conspiracy theory from communists and nutwings from the far right. Both go after “Jewish capital” and both are anti-semits.

By the time time Japan attacked the U.S., they were pursuing an idea known as the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Japan had attacked and occupied Korea in the 1920′s and portions of China and Manchuria by the 1930′s (I’m not sure of the dates). They had also occupied Thailand, Burma, Singapore and portions of New Guinea and Malaysia.Japan envisioned a confederation of Asia countries led by Japan and free of Western influence. The tariffs on oil and steel were just the excuse to attack the U.S. They hoped that by destroying the Pacific fleet, they could force the U.S. into peace settlement and thereby continue their Co-Prosperity Sphere unabated. The Japs were defeated by the U.S. Navy 70 years ago this month at Midway and that was pretty much the end of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. That’s it in a nutshell.
