A Political Career Sculpted for Infamy
by MrArbitrage

I guess in a way Senator Dodd's decision not to seek reelection means that the other half of the Kennedy / Dodd “waitress sandwich” bit the dust (so to speak).

If you are like I was just a few months ago and have no idea what a “waitress sandwich” is, just go to Google as I did while trying to verify a story.

It is apparently more well known than I knew because all one has to do to pull up 128,000 articles on this subject is to type “Kennedy D” and Google will fill in the rest for you (Kennedy Dodd Waitress Sandwich”). This happens because Google proffers to you the most commonly searched terms associated with “Kennedy Dodd”.

This is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in this country, the kind of portent that one would expect to make it into history books, looking back for obvious signs of the pending doom of a nation so debauched that they knowingly elect such scoundrels and predators – then complaining when the swindlers are unable to “compartmentalize” their deviant behavior.

How SHOCKING that such predators would not behave altruistically in their promulgations of policy and law!

There is your legacy Senator. Your years in office are to go down in infamy. Don’t dare call your years in Washington “Public service” (as you people like to call it as you attempt to invoke our plaudits). That term should be reserved for those who serve in the military. It was YOU who forced the taxpayers of this country to do the "servicing" all of these years.

The impeccable timing of Somali Pirates

By MrArbitrage

What a strange and conveniently timed story. Usually the HIGHER a commodity goes, the more it becomes a target for criminals.  Instead, these pirates seem to come out whenever oil has a pull back. Are these guys on the Goldman payroll?

Speaking of strange, I stumbled upon this photo (thought to have been leaked by the Clinton camp during the primaries) showing our Hussein dressed as a SOMALI elder during a visit to Kenya in 2006.

Look at that picture of our Somali Pirate in Chief and tell me where his sympathies lie. This photo NEVER would have seen the light of day if he had not been running against Hillary Clinton.

Shepard Smith's assault on Conservatives
by MrArbitrage

I'm sure many of my readers were tuned into Fox News this afternoon between 3:30pm-4:00PM

I was stunned at the misguided comments of Shepard Smith regarding the Holocaust Museum shooting.

Smith was attempting to make a profound correlation between the shooting suspect James Von Brunn and those who publish websites that criticize Barack Obama.

One could say that this is subjective and Smith's accusations were really directed at people who are anti-semitic or calling for violence. However, Smith removed any “benefit of a doubt” we could have afforded him when he pointed at his computer screen, asserted “I have hundreds of them right here” (in his email inbox) and then began to read one of the emails.

Granted, the email wasn't exactly what many would call diplomatic but there was no anti-antisemitism, no racism and no call to violence. It was simply a Fox viewer who voiced his outrage about what is taking place in this country as a result of Obama's policies. The biggest offense of the Fox viewer was the viewer challenged the original citizenship of Obama and dared to refer to Obama by his middle name – Hussein.

That is certainly no example of “fair and balanced” reporting. In fact, it's not reporting at all. By the way it is packaged, Smith's show doesn't seem to purport itself as an opinion hour – yet he certainly doesn't hesitate to inject his left leaning emotions like any other network “news” anchor.

With that said, it is difficult to understand how the man has kept his job all of these years. It could only be the pretty boy appeal he has with some of Fox's female audience as well as the international male constituency with whom I think he has much in common, wink. He certainly couldn't have kept his anchor position based upon his verbal delivery skills. The guy can't read a teleprompter for 30 seconds without butchering a sentence. I haven't seen anything like it since broadcasting class in my freshmen year of college.  I remember years ago when Paula Zahn was fired from the 10:00PM slot now occupied by Greta Van Susteren.  Roger Ailes was quoted as saying that despite her respectable ratings - "a dead racoon" could have gotten those ratings.  I would have to say the same for Smith at this point.  I rarely get to see Glenn Beck because his show is usually over by the time I get home; but I would venture to guess that Beck would clean Smith's proverbial clock if he occupied that time slot. 

Sorry, does that read like “hate speech”. It's nothing personal. I just can't stomach poor journalism. But I think anyone of acute mental perception can see where this is all going. The timing of the recent shootings is so suspect that it almost looks like the left is behind the shootings. Before you dismiss me as conspiratorial, I didn't say that the left somehow orchestrated these shootings to foment misdirected outrage by the general lobotomized public. It's just that conservatives have seen this coming for years. We have long known the underhanded tactics of the left is to stir the emotional pot and to convince the public that they are better off – let's say “safer” - if they hand over their constitutional rights of free speech and to bear arms.

When we hear people like Smith talk to his guests about how the “hate” on the Internet causes people to go out and shoot up innocent people, despite the intent of this lightweight, we know where it is leading. It is leading to Hussein, Pelosi and Reed launching unprecedented assaults on our liberties at a pace so rapid that it may be irrevocable by the time of the 2010 elections (if we even have them).

As I listened to the further ramblings of this inconceivable dim-wit, it became clear that “everyman” Smith is falling right into their hands – doing the left's bidding for them. If you look at the unbelievable speed at which Hussein has abrogated our constitution and our capitalist economic system, it is impossible to devise conspiracy theory that will wax more discord than the reality of his encroachments.

The more one embraces lucidity, the more one may realize that it is pointless to even worry about external threats to our national security. We got so caught up in the game, living most of our lives with the “Cold War” permeating our consciousness. Someone forgot to tell their children and grandchildren that there was a REASON why we fought. Someone evidently forgot to tell them that it wasn't just a matter of geography that made the “evil empire” evil.

While we were worrying about the potential threats from the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cuba and now even Venezuela – "home grown" versions of those people were indoctrinating our children and grandchildren to the point where they now view that litany of nations as righteous victims of our “oppression”.

These generations from the Baby-boom onward have essentially INSTALLED an impostor that makes the Marxist dictators of the aforementioned regimes look like rank amateurs. This begs the question of WHY? Why should we worry about national defense at this point? This bastardized version of the Democrat Party is so harmonious with every doctrine of Marx, Stalin and Neitzche, there is no reason to be concerned with external evil.  There is nothing the external threats would do to us that the current regime isn't already promulgating.

It is time to wake up. They are going for it all, probably before November of 2010. Through cunning devices the left will attempt to seize control of free speech on the Internet. Anything that questions Hussein or shines the light on their chicanery will be shut down and the publishers of such material will be charged with “hate speech”. 2. They will - seemingly overnight - come for your guns.

This will all be possible because of the failure of generations to adequately raise their children and for allowing the public indoctrination centers to teach their children revisionist history.

I know my reaction to Shepard Smith's attack on conservatives might seem bombastic. Does my embracing of reality constitute hate? I have long been interested in the sport of politics and I used to make my decision on how to say something or whether to say something through the lens of how it might affect me years later if I were to run for office. I realize now that was completely selfish. That is not the makeup of a patriot. If our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, I think I owe them more than a half hearted, calculated response to the effrontery of the left. As I look at the times in which we live and the gravity of the situation on every front, I have made a conscious decision that there is no longer time to coddle stupidity, deception and ignorance.  There is no time for it.

Goldman, Hussein & The New Oil "Crisis"
by MrArbitrage 

“Goldman raised its three-month-ahead price target to $75 a barrel from $52 a barrel. The bank also increased its 2009 oil price forecast to $85.” - Marketwatch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well it looks like Goldman may be back to their old tricks again.  During the last manipulated, self-fulfilling oil “crisis”, firms Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were believed to be long oil futures in their hedge funds and possibly other subsidiaries – while their analysts were consistantly throwing fuel on the fire with incessant press releases calling for $200 a barrel with no quantitative or qualitative due diligence to support their arbitrary price targets.

As I wrote in my June20th, 2008 column titled “Speculation: Good for America but Manipulative Analysis = Crime against Humanity” at www.TableOfWisdom.com (Select “MrArbitrage on Markets” Tab on Left and scroll down to June 20, 2008) -
 

“such manipulation should be treated as a crime against humanity, as it has led to rioting, starvation and even increased foreclosures. Even if next week oil were to settle back down to the $60 per barrel price it SHOULD BE and the crisis were to end – Goldman and Morgan should be investigated and held accountable. If it is found that these firms or any of their subsidiaries were LONG OIL during the time their analysts were making these outlandish predictions and price targets – they should be prosecuted to the same degree as one who commits treason against their country, treason, defined as “the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.

Yes, if it is so, they have indeed committed treason against their country but if so, they have also committed treason against the human race. IF they have done this LEGALLY by loophole, which I suspect, i.e. trading the commodities in the less regulated, over seas markets – while pumping the price up here via their analysts – then Congress better get off their rear-ends, put that housing/bank bailout on HOLD - and close that commodities loop hole TODAY."

I'm not going out on a limb here.  This is the same kind of chicanery these firms employed during the Technology Bubble.  They were making fortunes underwriting IPO's and bond offering for crap companies while having another division (their analysts) pumping the hell out of the common stock of the very companies that were their clients – passing their “analysis” off as objective!

Funny; it's been almost a full year since we've seen a press release from these “analysts”on oil.  Call me a cynic but it almost seems like they were waiting for the controversy to die down as the public was beginning to call for heads on the end of poles.  Goldman's new found exuberance over the price of oil BEGS the question of whether their hedge fund colleagues or some other subsidiary might not be quite “LONG” oil once again?  The timing is also quite curious as it seems to coincide with their new found desire to raise billions of dollars to pay off their TARP money. 

In this highly “investigative” environment, might we see a new congressional grandstanding session where they pull some Goldman execs in front of a camera to ask probing questions before the public?

Fat chance of that happening!  It is obvious that our elected scoundrels are in bed with these companies and President Soros will NEVER allow his “UNDERBOSS” Barack Hussein to expose this seeming conflict of interest if Soros himself is currently long oil futures.  I have every reason to believe that President Soros is long oil right now because whenever BILLIONS in profits can be made from human suffering and misery – this global bottom feeder is probably there pulling the strings.  

The higher oil prices PERFECTLY coincide with Obama's agenda for the companies formerly known as GM & Chrysler.  If Obama and the Demagogues allow oil to be manipulated back up to the 2008 highs - he will have a great deal more leverage and public support for turning our new auto "investment" into absolute green machine manufacturers, guaranteed to make useless cars that nobody will want to purchase without the government coercion that is right around the corner. 

Hussein made it quite clear during his 2008 campaign that he wanted higher oil and gas prices.  Do not be so credulous as to think that Hussein would not gladly allow an new oil bubble to be fomented at the price of guaranteeing global depression if it allows him to further implement his and his boss Soros' marxist dream.

You read it here first.  If there's still a free press, you'll read it elsewhere next year.

Hussein will Make Jimmy Carter look like E.F. Hutton
by MrArbitrage

Geoffrey Rogow wrote a column at Marketwatch today http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stocks-higher-in-late-surge-djia-closes-may-up-4  featuring the headline "Choppy session ends with late gains as surging prices for commodities drive a rally for materials companies."

All I can do is shake my head.  Warning never does any good except for adding an additional “I told you so” to one's track record  The elected scoundrels have people believing that commodities are "surging".  It does look that way and that's the way they want it. 

The reality is that the the fiat currencies are falling apart as the market is being efficient.  The flood of trash, I mean cash is what's behind this.  People focus on the currencies going up and down against one another on a daily basis but they cannot see that they are riding a “teeter-totter” on the deck of the Titanic. The general Hussein voting public has not caught on to the government chicanery yet.  As long as they have their "FDIC insurance" they are happy - for now.  They haven't put two and two together yet.  They haven't asked themselves why that $4.00 GALLON of ice cream has now become a $6.99 PINT & a HALF!  They haven't yet figured out why that  $3.00 12 pack of Coke is now a $3.50 8 pack.

The COMMODITIES market HAS figured it out.  That's the difference!

Go to http://tableofwisdom.com/MY_TRACK_RECORD.html and read my documented, nine year old warnings on situations like GM, AOL/Time-Warner among others.  NOW that you know me and where I am coming from, I am about to make an equally prescient prediction (when the market intelligence is actually ACTIONABLE) - 

Here it is:

In one more year - Hussein & Geithner are going to make Jimmy Carter look like frigging E.F. Hutton.  That's how bad the inflation is going to become.

"Organized Crime" is Alive & Well (The Real Goodfellas)
 by MrArbitrage

WHY does the "the administration" so badly want to convert to common stock? With government becoming an "insider" by virtue of owning so many voting shares, the banks will become social engineering tools for the administration. This will allow them to bypass spending approval by Congress.

The irony is that the banking stocks have been rallying as of the past few weeks. Investors who are now buying into these companies are as usual, quite naive. Not only are they too clueless to factor in the significant dilution that will come from the conversion of the government Preferred shares that were not issued as convertibles – they are not factoring that the government will be the worst “business partner” with which they could ever aligned themselves.

Owning a bank with the government as a true insider will indeed be like something out of the film “Goodfellas” where the restaurant owner decides he wants the mob as a “partner” in his business (under the delusional notion that they will protect his business). This unsuspecting restauranteur ended up going belly up as his “partners” robbed him blind, selling all the liquor out of the back door and stuck him with the bills.

That is very much akin to what our elected scoundrels will likely be doing with these banks. It's possible that they can make enough good loans and use them to offset the bad loans they will intentionally push the banks into making. These social engineering programs will essentially be viewed upon by the borrowers as forgivable loans. “The administration” will not be making these loans with intent of being repaid.

If they are careful enough with their accounting they can keep these banks doing this for many years. Personally I think these banks will be used to finance the environmentalist scams of Al Gore and all of the other “green” bull crap we are being force fed. Of course you also need to throw in billions for corrupt scams by their personal friends who helped to get them their political financing. It will be kind of like the IMF & World Bank in that respect.

Hmmm, use the profits from the good loans to make the banks pay for all of these programs?

Sounds good except that the poor suckers who are now buying the common stocks of these banks under the assumption that this is going to “bolster” the banks don't realize that these banks may never actually turn another traditional profit. That's because the future profits will be rolled back into the pet projects.

The taxpayers and others who now own these worthless common shares will be victims of a bank robbery where the robbers actually stole not just the money in the vaults but rather the whole damned bank. Might as well buy shares in a 501C3. Many don't realize this but “non-profits” CAN and DO make profits; they are just required to use those profits for the advancement of their charitable purpose. Buying shares in a non-profit could be a good investment – if you like the charity, expect no monetary return and if you are given a CHOICE.

Say goodbye to our Preferred dividends. The funny thing is that Obama is acting like he's the hero for finding “a way to avoid spending tax payer money”. Yes, by essentially making all of the money he previously supplied to them – a gift. A few years later, in time for his next election, as the public catches on that all of the cash flow from the good loans is being funneled out through his pet projects, he will seduce the idiots with a rousing speech about how our new “dividends” will be in the form of “a better America”.

Another interesting aspect of this scam will be to see how well banks that DIDN'T take TARP money from organized crime will compete with the government banks? I don't know that they will last when they are competing against government owned banks that do not have the same profit motives, a government monopoly that has proven to be quite receptive to using strong armed tactics.

Think this all sounds too conspiratorial? It sure is looking like the administration bullied Bank of America into buying Merril Lynch. And THAT happened BEFORE the Treasury had ANY Common/voting shares. If you think I am being conspiratorial, you just may be a political Pollyanna. Of course they will find a few fall guys to protect Obama. That's a given, even if it takes a suicide or two along the way. We are at a time in history where we will tolerate anything because we have been trained to believe that anything that looks evil but requires complex plotting – cannot happen and should be dismissed as “conspiracy theory” of whack jobs. As I recently replied to one writer who responded to one of my columns, it brings to mind an old quote I heard in a film which says “The greatest trick the devil played on mankind was convincing them he doesn't exist." What exactly constitutes a “conspiracy theory” these days? This reaction can be a very dangerous defense mechanism.

I'm not saying the administration had this planned out from the beginning but I sure do believe that at some point they figured this out. Hence the sudden push for a conversion to Common. It doesn't make SENSE and it's bad for the tax payer. These stress tests are designed for their agenda.

The Newly Defined Terrorists - You Soon May be One of Them
by MrArbitrage
 

In the past couple of weeks there have been a number of news items demonstrating Barack Obama's effrontery on the American citizenry. The first thing I heard on the news this morning was reported by The Washington Times that “The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in “right wing extremist activity”... the warning said “it may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”

This was something I predicted in a column I wrote on November 17, 2008 at http://www.blackjfk.com/ The column is titled “We knew Abraham Lincoln; Abe Lincoln was the father of our Party; President Elect Obama, you're no Abraham Lincoln.” (The title was in response to our Hussein's shameless comparisons of himself to Lincoln.)

The column is still located at www.BlackJFK.com and I encourage you to read the entire column.

It saddens me to be correct when I wrote “…What I expect to see over the next 4-8 years: As usually happens with centralized government, I expect agencies given far reaching powers for reasons that were compelling when initially established – to be used for purposes other than those for which they were intended. Specifically, I expect that under Obama, Pelosi and Reed, it is only a matter of time before the DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY is used to fight the newly defined “terrorism”. The new terrorism will not be of the Islamic variety but rather Judeo-Christian “hate speech” about something called “sin” and the audacious notion of there being only “one way to God”. You are seeing portents of things to come as in the case of those homosexual activists in California attacking an elderly lady, throwing her cross on the ground and stepping on it. You may see that as a radical prediction but I assure you that although the Democrat representatives and the activist judges with whom they will stack the deck are more clandestine in their attacks but every bit as hostile. Their coming legislation, executive orders and verdicts will be far more dangerous than a militant protester holding a sign in the streets of San Francisco.”

I wrote that this would happen over the next 4-8 years but I didn't expect it to happen in the next 4 months! Audacity is indeed a characteristic that our Hussein personifies – “hope” is certainly not.

The second demonstration of effrontery on the citizenry by our Hussein is demonstrated in his reference to Americans as “arrogant” and “dismissive”. As these condescending politicians continue to give us the one finger salute, “our Hussein” is beginning to look more and more like “our Louis XVI” and Nancy Pelosi may be our Marie Antoinette.

Alan Keyes' Tea Party Address - A Man and a Voice for Our Times
Intro written by MrArbitrage
Video: a Voron-O-sphere Productions

My good friends in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania attended their “Tea Party” yesterday (April 11, 2009) and filmed the rousing speech of Dr. Alan Keyes. I wish I could have been there but thanks to Ted Voron of VoronOsphere Productions, I feel as though I was.

The last time I posted a Dr. Keyes “speech” - I wrote a long passionate introduction. There is nothing that I would dare to add to this speech other than to tell you that there will be four installments due to the time limitations of Youtube.

The only other thing I will add is to advise you to get your Kleenex ready.  

This is probably the greatest speech of this century (thus far made).  If you are a member of the Demagogue Party, you will hate it.  Otherwise, you will receive a feeling of inspiration reminiscent of the time you watched the movie Braveheart, when Sir William Wallace screamed the word “FREEDOM”.  No matter how remotely hidden, no matter how long your inspiration may have been dormant, if you don't find it during this speech, it was probably never there.

Once again I want to give plaudits to VoronOsphere Productions for their excellent production. Without further ado, here is the one of the most profound voices for our times, one overflowing with substance that equals his passion, a voice that will be tapped into by our posterity for a history lesson on the next American Revolution, in the raw, without the need for a teleprompter – here is the man who SHOULD have been our first black President  - Dr./Ambassador Alan Keyes:

The Dubious Timing of “Mark-to-Market” changes & Obama’s sudden new perspective on GM Bankruptcy
by MrArbitrage

IN TODAY’S HEADLINES:  WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) – “Responding to pressure applied by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the Financial Accounting Standards Board on Thursday voted unanimously to give auditors more flexibility in valuing illiquid mortgage assets that may have long-term value.”

As I posted on February 6, 2009 (under “Publius123” pseudonym) at http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/obama-warns-about-economic-catastrophe/story.aspx?guid=%7B54A80753%2D18FA%2D4BDB%2D9615%2DA2623198AC00%7D#comment1536876

 

“… They knew what they were doing when the Fed continually encouraged bubbles by creating all of this ersatz money with ridiculous monetary policy. They deliberately created each bubble. They created the “mark to market” rule knowing that forcing them to write off instruments as worthless - despite having cash flows - would force the financial institutions to come up with more capital than they would be able to raise to meet required reserves. The bubble they deliberately designed forced these institutions to sell out for pennies on the dollar.

NOW, after all of these institutions have been stolen, watch them as they suddenly have the convenient epiphany. They will soon announce that they are going to suspend or eliminate the “mark to market” rule since they have achieved their predetermined objective of controlling the major financial institutions with TARP. Our founding fathers would probably have hung these people for treason. It is treachery.”

 

This morning (Friday) I heard Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox news sharing about a conversation he had with a CEO of a profitable, healthy bank that was FORCED by the FDIC to take TARP funds they DID NOT WANT or NEED.  According to the Judge, this unamed CEO was approached by the FDIC saying that the government wants to take a stake in their bank and if they did not take the funds, the FDIC would come in an “audit” them, costing their shareholders a fortune in money and resources.

 

Just as I predicted months ago in the post linked above, AFTER Obama and his under-boss Geithner got what they wanted – they are suddenly having the epiphany that they should CHANGE the mark-to-market rules! 

 

Look at GM.  NOW that the federal government has seized control of the auto-manufacturers – suddenly these scoundrels think a “structured bankruptcy” may be the way to go!  Just think, they could have advocated this bankruptcy –BEFORE- giving these auto companies hundreds of billions of OUR tax dollars – BUT – if they had seen the light prior to doing that - they wouldn’t have governmental CONTROL of GM & Chrysler that resulted from the issuance of "our" preferred shares.

 

This may be the greatest scandal ever perpetrated in American history.  This may be the greatest violation against the tax-payers of this continent since the American Revolution, making the effrontery of Parliament and King George III look evenhanded. 

 

Everybody is getting excited about “tea parties”.  Personally I think they’re a little too cute, almost gimmicky and will make conservatives feel good for perhaps a day.  We already bombarded our representatives with millions of phone calls, emails, faxes before they passed the budget and approved the first round of bailouts.  They don’t CARE people.  All we got as a result of our grassroots efforts was the one finger solute from these elected scoundrels and that is all we will get after these “tea parties” on April 15th.

 

What our founding fathers did at their tea parties was not akin to these protests sweeping the nation.  The colonies REFUSED to pay the levies required by the Townsend Acts and refused to pay the duties on tea.  The modern equivalent of the ACTUAL "Boston Tea Party" would be if suddenly the freedom and constitution respecting Americans around the country simultaneously MAILED the IRS a tea bag -in lieu of- their tax payments on the grounds that the government is forcing them to fund abortions at home and abroad, on the grounds that the federal government is forcing us to fund the destruction of human embryos for experimentation and on the grounds that the federal government has assumed authority that is not in its charter to take.  Now, I’m not telling anyone to do that – but that is more like what the founders did as a result of the Stamp Act, the Townsend Acts and other encroachments.       

 

I don't want to discourage my fellow conservatives from participating in the tea parties.  In fact, I will attend ours in West Palm Beach, Florida.  The parties will serve as a way to rally the troops; however, I hope that nobody stops there thinking they have completed their patriotic duty because the media will ignore them and the federal leviathan will treat us to the usual disdain.

The All New Congressional Motors
by MrArbitrage

The first thing I read this morning was Obama's “Embargoed Until Midnight ET; Obama Administration New Path to Viability for GM & Chrysler.”

I found the most amusing aspect of this pseudo-business plan to be the way Obama advanced his speculative claims about GM & Chrysler as absolutes. 

The Administration may well be correct in some of these claims but the way the report comes across is rather dogmatic.  There is none of the “we believe” or “in our opinion” - verbiage that is requisite in red herrings and prospectuses put out by Wall Street investment banks and even analyst reports (Granted, nobody reads the red herrings and prospectuses but at least there are risks they are required to disclose.)  Coming from a securities background, I'm not used to seeing investment related propaganda with such absolute assertions. 

It strikes me as amazing that this young lawyer who has no business experience whatsoever has such confidence that he can cure GM.  How altruistic of this man to devote the first couple decades of his career to community organizing with groups like ACORN -  all the while knowing that he could become an auto industry magnate and run the world's largest financial institutions!  What's his next conquest?  My bet is MEDIA MOGUL.

The best part is the statement “The Administration will stand behind new cars purchased from GM or Chrysler during this period through an innovative warantee commitment program.”  The absurdity of that is so glaring that it would be trite for me or anyone to try to add to it for humerous purposes.  It stands by itself without any help from me or anyone. 

One serious contribution I will make in this regard is that this administration's “innovative warranty” program – if given enough time to play out – may serve as a genuine case study on their nationalized health care scam.  Granted, health care would be MUCH more complicated than nationalized auto warranties – but I am confident that they will significantly botch the latter enough to convince Americans – at least those who own government automobiles – that they do not want this group of scoundrels "looking out for" their medical needs.

It seems to me that this Marxist automotive thing already has a precedent.  If you would like to see an example of what leftism has to offer in the automotive department, see below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pictured above is a “Volga”.  I think the mural of Stalin probably cost extra; nevertheless, this was the car that some of the more fortunate, privileged Russians had the “opportunity” to drive during the Soviet era.  Most Russians couldn't have their own car – but if you ever get a chance to – ask a former Soviet how they liked their Volga.  I don't think it made the J.D. Power's top 10 list of most reliable cars.  Of course, if you were among the elite ruling class, like our "Democrats" (pardon the misnomer) - you got to drive the Mercedes-Benz.   
  
Despite the negatives in Obama's chapter titled “Detailed Findings on GM and Chrysler Plans” - he does want us to rest assured that they are embarking on a process to “replace the majority of GM's board  over the coming months”.  Obama assures us that these changes will bring “FRESH THINKING and “NEW VISION” to the company.  He also promised  that during this period of restructure, TREASURY OFFICIALS will work closely with the company!  Dear God, from what I've already seen from these imbeciles, I think that Volga is actually looking more attractive.

This is all so surreal I can hardly believe it is actually happening.  When I read the administration's “New Path to Viability for GM and Chrysler” this morning – it really struck me as a little homework assignment thrown together during an “all nighter” by a college freshman with the help of a couple pots of coffee.  In fact, all-nighter is generous; make that a “half-nighter.”

In all seriousness, as I read this paper this morning, what immediately came to mind was a potential SNL sketch.  We  would probably be better off if Congress declared an emergency session of “The Apprentice.”  They could just run GM by taking all of the winners of the past several seasons and make that the new board of GM. 

Just for fun they could bring in one “celebrity apprentice” for comic relief.  I would suggest bringing in Rosy so we could all sit back and be treated to watching Trump make comments about what a “fat loser” she is and have her talk about his hair and what a loser he is for sucking all of the equity out of his companies and never turning a profit in all of those years.

Ridiculous as this would be, it has a better chance of succeeding than the all new Congressional Motors.

The Audacity of Larceny
by MrArbitrage

This guy is unbelievable.

I don't know which is MORE dumbfounding, our Hussein's ability to spin his catastrophe into an “achievement” or the news media's consistently allowing him to get away with it.

He said today that he isn't concerned with the short term gyrations of the market.  This individual actually had the audacity to tell us that this is creating some "attractive bargains”!

Can you imagine if Bush had said his? Hussein hasn't destroyed 52% of American's net worth – NO – he is creating BARGAINS!

How does THAT make you feel as you look at the statement of your 401k or that 529 college savings plan you set up for your child??? 

I titled this column "The audacity of Larceny" because that is exactly what this stimulus bill is:

lar-ce-ny -  the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the taker's own use. 

They have robbed your savings to convert it into more federal power over the states and your life.

America, don't forget to thank Mr. Hussein after you take all that extra cash you've been hoarding and scoop up these “bargains” he's created for you during his short tenure!

The Obamunist Manifesto Wreaks Havoc - Just as Intended
by MrArbitrage

Obama released the 2010 Budget which he titled "A New Era of Responsibility”.  It should be called “The Obamunist Manifesto”. Thank Hussein for the deliberate destruction of our economy.

Throughout my Wall Street career I believed the rules about the market, how it is always the best place to be long term, how it always "comes back"… the general rule that the best time to buy is usually when everyone is selling. These were like laws of nature upon which we could depend based on almost two hundred years of American investment history.

The problem now is that the market is finding it difficult to depend on this history for encouragement because a key component has been violated - capitalism. It seems as though we are living out a history lesson to which posterity will refer as the death of the American Republic. It may read like that of Rome or Great Brittan, the empire on which the sun never set.
Marx predicted that our people would “hand over” our liberties if the family unit could be broken. This could be the most remarkable coup d’état in Marxist history because not a shot has yet been fired. That’s because the people have been so consumed with immorality that we still refuse to repent or even acknowledge our on part in this debacle.

We love to have our ears tickled by the pandering of elected scoundrels like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank - who take bribes from the very people they publicly condemn. They play this charade before the cameras telling us how we are all victims and how they are going to solve the problem by augmenting the regulation of the people with whom they colluded to line their pockets with our money.

The fact that more than 50% of us actually accept this idiocy and continue to vote for these scoundrels testifies to the fact that they deserve the future misery they are bringing upon themselves. Congratulations “Super-Ape” – you are about to be captured, broken and trained to serve in the incessant circus of your new master – “Super State”.

Obama's Financial Terrorism 
by MrArbitrage

Judging from the outrageous cabinet appointments Obama has made, from the the underhanded tactics he used to to ram this so-called "stimulus" bill through the House and Senate, which will lead to the debasement of our currency - and judging from his constant use of words like “crisis” and “disaster” in every speech he makes – it is inconceivable that Obama, Pelosi & Reed could have any other intention than to bring down our economy and with it our capitalist system.

I believe that these disciples of Marx know his policies will bring about a loss of power in the 2010 elections and they are going to do everything they can – as quickly as they can – to make their agenda irreversible by the time that happens. 

“Somethings happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear.”

The strategy seems to work quite well.  During their time out of power, the Demagogues did everything they could to verbally assault our country, our military and to sow melancholy and fear into the minds of Americans to the point they would be willing to surrender.  Divide and conquer.  It worked; they won absolute power.

Now that they have absolute power, our Hussein and friends are using economic terror tactics against this country.  Very similar to the way he verbally assaulted our military and brought disillusionment to the citizens of our country about a war we were actually winning, he is blatently and obviously terrorizing this country in order to destroy our economy.  He has gotten out the financial wrecking ball and he is taking no prisoners, I believe because he wants to tear down the entire structure in order to build the "utopian" Marxist system for which his party the Demagogues have longed since their acid tripping days at Woodstock. 

Enormous assaults on capitalism have been taking place at unprecedented velocity in the first month of Obama's administration and look for far worse in the coming year as they know the clock is ticking.  God only knows what nefarious usurpations were contained within that stimulus bill.  The ramifications of it will unfold for years to come.  It is as though they have successfully concealed a Trojan horse through the gates with special accommodation from GOP traitors Spector, Collins & Snowe. 

It is as though we are watching a “B” quality horror film unfold before our eyes.  I say “B” rated because the plot is so obvious from the foreshadowing.  IF it were a film, the viewers would watch with disdain because to accept the notion that the characters would be credulous enough to fall for this nonsense would require an excessive suspension of disbelief by the viewers.  For instance, when in human history has it ever brought a positive outcome when any nation surrendered all rational thinking for a charismatic individual, so able to persuade and to charm millions of people to the point of emotional intoxication?

How many times in human history has such a person been given the highest position of political power?  We've seen what has resulted when it happened in other countries throughout history; how has that usually ended?  The more frightening question is - when has this ever happened in the most powerful nation of the world?   Never.

Of the 300 million Americans, what are the odds that voters in the United States of America would elect a President about whom they know very little, who would have difficulty obtaining security clearance in many classified areas of government as a civilian and who happened to have the middle name of HUSSEIN – the name of one of the most infamous Arab dictators of the 20th century, the very one we just REMOVED and who was executed for crimes against humanity? 

I am no statistician but the odds of this guy coming out of nowhere and being elected President - at this time especially - must be incalculable – unless it were written in the script.  If this was a “B” movie, I would have to say that this was a bad rendition of the Manchurian Candidate and that the people in this country are -begging- for destruction. If it was “written in the script” - this must be a horror film about a nation of narcissistic fools who have tempted God one too many times, a nation of people who have been given over to a depraved mind and are being allowed to destroy themselves.

This piece was intended to be a terse introduction of a video with Ambassador Alan Keys making some bold statements about Barack Obama.  When I listened to this clip it sent chills up and down my spine because I have not heard anyone make such a cogent statement about what is going on in this country since, well, the last time Keys ran for President.  I think he knows that when he runs for office he is tilting at windmills; nevertheless, we sure could have used his voice this last time around in the presidential primaries.  You may want to forward this link to everyone you know.  Without further ado, here's Ambassador Keys.

What if the Media had scrutinized Obama the way they did Michael Phelps?

by MrArbitrage

It's interesting to observe how the news media has latched on to this story of Michael Phelps being photographed while allegedly smoking marijuana through a “water bong”.

If he is smoking marijuana, I think it is a shame but the part that intrigues me is what this reveals about our national psychology. 

Phelps is an example of how we tend to project onto celebrities, the image of what we want them to be.  I clearly remember the emotional feelings I had after Phelps broke the Olympic record long held by Mark Spitz. The entire country was enamored with this young man despite the fact that few of us knew much about him at all. Practically overnight, Phelps had the world on a string and was financially set for life as companies lined up to pay millions to use his image and name.  That's a big gamble for a company to take.

It may seem reasonable that the media finds this story so newsworthy. After all, Phelps is a hero to whom young people look for inspiration and motivation. What kind of message does this send to them? What I find interesting is the hypocrisy in the fact that the news media apparently didn't find it the least bit relevant that the President of the United States was an admitted cocaine user. Obama wisely put it out there years ahead of his candidacy in the controlled environment of a self written book.

I surmise that he astutely realized that his personal lap dogs masquerading as journalists would never ask a single question about it. In fact, most people in this country know nothing about this fact, despite it being published in one of Obama's books.

That strategy allowed his submissive little pooches like David Gregory, Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Andrea Mitchell, Barbara Walters and Keith Olberman off the hook for not doing their job because they could just claim “it was old news; he wrote about it in his book”. So no follow up questions need be asked of a then potential future PRESIDENT. Questions like “just how many lines of cocaine or how many hits off of the crack pipe actually constitutes “experimentation”? (versus an addiction) or “over a period of how many years did your experimentation span?” They certainly did their due dilly on a 25 year old DUI 4 years ago.

So we have arguably the two most famous men in the world, both of them  worshiped by the entire country without most knowing anything about who they truly are.

One is a swimmer who may have used marijuana. The media is quite concerned.

The other is the Commander in Chief over our military and the nobody in the media asked so much as one question regarding the details of his cocaine use.

I don't want to come across as being rancorous.  I recognize that the comparison isn't entirely fair because Michael Phelps actually accomplished something noteworthy prior to receiving our adulation.

Dan Rooney's Obama Worship
by MrArbitrage

Many recipients of championship trophies thank God for giving them the opportunity.  Those who don’t thank God will generally thank teammates or coaching staff.  During the presentation of the Lombardi Trophy, the first utterance to proceed from the mouth of Steelers President Dan Rooney was - no kidding - “I would like to thank President Barack Obama.” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For what reason is he thanking a politician in connection with this Super Bowl victory? 

Was it the benevolence of Barack Obama allowing him to keep the team that his father built?  This epitomizes second generation wealth, someone who was the beneficiary of a legacy he did not create.  I don’t think this response encapsulates the philosophy of the great Vince Lombardi, the legendary man of excellence after whom this trophy was named.  I don’t know what his political persuasion was but Lombardi might well have been turning in his grave last night.  Pittsburgh was victorious because the coaches and the players prepared, trained hard, played hard.  It wasn’t government welfare that won the game for them.  Government parasites had nothing to do with this victory and thanking a left winged prima donna before anyone else was a slap in the face of those men who earned the trophy.  As a football fan, I am offended by this comment as it was inappropriate as much as it was senseless.

 

I know there must be many leftists in this country who loved seeing THEIR “messiah” praised at a time when most athletes traditionally acknowledge that their gifts were bestowed from The Almighty.  Perhaps Rooney’s words were not inadvertent.  Maybe he actually WAS thanking his god. 

 

If so, last night’s idolatry may be a parallel of what has happened to this country culminating on November 4^th.   It begs the question, as I’ve asked here before, how long before our Hussein seats himself in the Holy of Holies?  It may just be a question of how long it takes for Israel to rebuild the temple.

Watch this effective "pro-life Obama commercial" by CatholicVote.com  Unfortunately Barack Obama didn't "approve this message."



Of course, there are some great examples of more accomplished people throughout history this commercial could have used but the video makes a great point because it sheds light on the hypocrisy of the highest ranking Democrat in the country who could and perhaps even should have been aborted if his own rationale, the twisted rationale of the left, was applied to himself after he was conceived.  

Following is a "Pro Choice" response.  It is an example of left winged ignorance as it supplants Osama bin Laden as the person the child in the womb might become.  The problem is that Osama bin Laden didn't come from a broken home and his family is extremely wealthy.  Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.   

'width' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 1, position 36.

This is disturbing on multiple levels.  The conservative argument doesn't say that we should save all of these lives because one of them might go on to be President, cure cancer or become Mozart.  Those are ancillary points.  However, this "Pro-choice" sage is saying that we should freely kill babies without compunction because one might become an Osama bin Laden - as though that argument counter balances the possibility that the baby could have gone on to accomplish something great. 

This really demonstrates the elitist, Nietzsche/Hitler like view they have of life and how expendable it is because all the people who won't accomplish something extraordinary in human eyes, despite the fact that they won't become criminals, it's ok to throw them away like garbage.  To them, as Nietzsche said the masses are just the scaffold who are there to hold them (the elite) upward.

The video is also disturbing as it demonstrates how easy it is for liberals to exploit the tragic murder of over 3,000 Americans by using the images to make an argument for further atrocities.

Among other things, it demonstrates the fact that these people have no critical thinking capabilities.
