Does 2011 = 1971?

It’s not Jimmuh Carter’s 70’s that we could most usefully look at, but 1971, when tricky Dick Nixon closed the gold window. And, THAT action itself was probably inevitable, due to LBJ’s guns and butter faux pas, trying to have a big government domestically while also paying for the big war in Vietnam.

Some people seem to think the Fed is controlled by Obama, and that it will print money long enough to avoid any economic trouble in the USA before our model of Hussein gets reelected.

Isn’t the Fed supposed to be independent? Doesn’t it have the dual Humphrey-Hawkins mandate to keep inflation under control AND promote growth---admittedly, a stark dilemma?

While I’m a gold bug, somehow I just can’t get into the sky-is-falling posture about the future of the American economy, and even foreign affairs. Yes, we certainly face challenges, but, hey---THAT’S HUMAN LIFE!

I try to always keep in mind that a crisis is most vitally an opportunity. And, THAT’S what should never be wasted. Also, as Churchill once put it---America always does the right thing, after exhausting the other options (or something to that effect.).

2011 = 1971?

It could be! Just as back in the early 70’s, right now in the early 10’s we are climaxing in monetary AND physical revolutions, across the world, due to many years of feckless choices by putative leaders.

So, like a pressure cooker that’s been heated beyond its tolerances, a plurality of people have been “boiled” into a mad state, and they AREN’T TAKING IT ANY MORE!

In 1971, going off the gold standard (de facto) was a BIG DEAL. It introduced massive uncertainty into the world of finance and economics, and guess what?

Humans adjusted. Yes, we got stagflation, and less employment and GDP output than optimally possible, but the developed world ADJUSTED. America didn’t cease to exist and nobody starved, and the whole liberal-caused slump even brought us Ronald Reagan.

Remember---America IS the big dog!

Not only is it a NEGATIVE warning that no one could bail us out, but nobody ---no country---is large enough or powerful enough to STOP us from somehow dealing with the upcoming “crises”. That’s POSITIVE!

Think of countries like Canada and Venezuela and Libya and even China as little or large TAILS. It may be funny in a fantasy-land Hollywood way to worry about the tail wagging the dog, but in the real world, the big dog America still has more than enough power and prestige to handle the furious tails out there.

Even with the pretender president Obama calling the shots.

I can’t resist recalling one more historical fact.

The terrible losses of human life and human built structures and businesses in Japan are presently in the news, big time. This is both “bad” and “good”. No doubt that the destruction of humans and human order is a loss. IF we imagine this being true for ALL of humanity, then human beings might be close to extinct, and the race would be set back, and perhaps take a thousand years to recover.

However---one of the “good” results from WWII for Europe, and even Japan, was that after so much of their physical infrastructure was demolished, WHEN they rebuilt, they were able to start from scratch, and thereby use the most modern means. Yes, the war bombing razed lots of older and more inefficient factories.

Of course it did take a long time, but without the legacy factories holding them back, auto companies, for example, were able to retool and not be burdened by held over CRAP.

Think of the American unions and what they did to GM, and Ford, and Chrysler!

Basta!

Fish and Snake HEADS

The fish rots from the head down.

To kill the snake, you must cut off the head.

Statement one refers to the USA, as led by Obama, who was chosen by the American people. What’s that stinky odor in D.C.?

Why, it came from---all across America!

Picture it---a majority of rotten, verily fat and fat headed sick citizens, from places like liberal Portland, Oregon, smugly positive in their “disease”, actively sending their offal to Washington, D.C., and other political environs, via FREE VOTES.

And, D.C., itself, a sucking cesspool of longstanding, eagerly attracting such nihilistic emanations from afar.

What a PUSH-PULL!

Outside America, myriad “countries” are controlled by snakes like Gaddafi, who’ve managed to bite their way to close to absolute power. (Of course, there are the enemies within America, as well, as dumbed down citizens have taken their shots and come up snake eyes, by and nihilistically LARGE.)

So, the rotting fish, America, with head Obama, in the battle du jour, takes on the snake of Libya.

Who could, logically, expect the rotten fish head to even TRY to cut off the snake head?

Opportunity is knocking, and we hear you, but you can’t come in!

Just as I long ago understood the scam that is global warming, and all “green” revolutions cum socialistic endeavors, likewise it is getting SO OLD to have to wallow in ongoing stupidity about the snake Islam!

Someday, if maybe America survives, the majority of its citizens will then be in agreement about SNAKES circa 2011, just as we are now about Chamberlain and Hitler in Munich.

The clearest way, perhaps, to NOW be in such truth, is to recognize that we are living through a series of “Munich” events. How else can we see Obama’s “treaty” with Iran, following the 2009 uprising there against their stolen “elections”?

Yes---one TRULY need not give any more attention to the “Earth is flat” global warming scam---

AND, all you need to know about the Islamic SNAKE is that unless the HEAD of Iran is attacked, and eventually severed, Libya et al are just distracting details. Of course, Saudi Arabia must, in its turn, with its Wahabbi “schools”, be cut off, as well.

All the rest are minor details, in the big picture.

As Jesus, and all God Realized humans might say---

Come slowly, or come quickly, but SURELY come to Me.

PS---consider the following quote from “The Politics of Experience”, by R.D. Laing, a British psychiatrist, written in 1967:

“Man, most fundamentally, is not engaged in the discovery of what is there, nor in production, nor even in communication, nor in invention. He is enabling being to emerge from nonbeing.

…..

There are men who feel called upon to generate even themselves out of nothing, since their underlying feeling is that they have not been adequately created or have been created only for destruction.” Pages 42-43

That last sentence seems to me to perfectly encapsulate the essence of the top MEN of Islam----they are most definitely NOT adequately created, and ARE destruction, animated:

Shiva = the Destroyer.
