Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By KBB.com Editors
When the Mercedes-Benz CLS first launched in 2004, it was touted as a four-door coupe, combining the emotion and charisma of a sleek two-door with the comfort and practicality of a traditional four-door sedan. With it, Mercedes established a new tier of elegance within its line-up. For 2012, the CLS arrives for its second act. Still a head-turner, the new Mercedes-Benz CLS sedan now trades some of its sensuality and artfulness for a dose of aggression and sporting character. The 2012 CLS550 looks and feels more like a driver's car, and is backed by a robust 402-horsepower engine. Not enough oomph for you? An uber-powerful AMG version is also available. Although the Mercedes CLS's disposition has clearly changed a bit, the car's exclusivity remains perfectly intact.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS is for affluent buyers looking for an equal-parts blend of sophistication and dynamism. It is for those who want to enjoy luxury-sedan comforts, but who also have the desire to make a bold fashion statement. You will turn more than your fair share of heads with the Mercedes CLS. Guaranteed.
For those shopping specifically for a Mercedes, but are still mindful of the bottom line, the CLS550 may seem a bit too pricey, especially since the Mercedes E550 offers much of the same for a noticeably lower sticker. The question then becomes, is the CLS's unique styling worth the price premium?
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 brags a meaner, more coupe-like design and driving dynamics to match. Ride and handling have both been improved, and a more powerful engine has arrived. Within, you'll find a better-defined cockpit and a larger roster of tech highlights.
Driving Impressions The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 is a true driver's car. Power comes from a hearty 402-hp 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 that allows the sedan to launch strong from the line and accelerate...effortlessly in mid-sprint. Passing power is in abundance, to say the least. And though there is a 518-hp AMG model on the way – MSRP: $94,900 – it hardly seems necessary. In terms of driving dynamics, the Mercedes CLS550 has improved on all fronts. Steering, in particular, is laser precise, putting the CLS right on par with BMW 5 Series and 6 Series cars when it comes to sheer driver control. The new CLS inspires confidence through hard cornering and high-speed lane changes, and it feels smaller than it actually is. But when you're not pushing it hard, the 2012 CLS assumes a relaxed personality. It offers a smooth ride as it glides along, whether on long country sweepers or bumpy city streets.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist
This innovative camera-based system can detect oncoming vehicles and automatically dip one or both headlight beams, while also adjusting their range, in order to create the ideal lighting conditions for both you and the oncoming driver. Also enhancing the Mercedes CLS550's lighting package are optional full LED headlamps.
Electromechanical Direct-Steer System
The 2012 Mercedes CLS550 is the first Benz to have this newly-engineered system. Responsive and precise, it is one of the primary reasons for the CLS550's newfound driving dynamics. Beyond its sporting nature, the system contributes to the vehicle's overall efficiency by only drawing energy when actual steering is taking place.
Inside, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS offers all the lavishness and technology one would expect at this price point. Mercedes always seems a half step ahead of its competitors in this area. With the CLS, all that is intimated on the outside continues within. You get that notion at all four seats, but most intensely in the driver's position. The Mercedes CLS cockpit is defined by near-perfect ergonomics and a solid, tactile feel. Seats are highly-bolstered and designed for both spirited driving and long-distance cruising. From splashes of rich burl wood trim to full leather interior, upscale luxury abounds here.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS is as distinctive as ever. Its signature roofline and shapely greenhouse give the car a flowing, uninterrupted form that extends rearwards to a sleek fastback profile. But this year, the CLS takes on a harder-edged personality, exuding a nice shot of performance character. It is spearheaded with a larger, more ominous big-star grille, flanked by optional full-LED headlamps. Body lines are more sharply sculpted, and the Mercedes CLS moves further into coupe territory with its longer hood and shorter overhangs. Overall, the new CLS is simply a more aggressive-looking package.
In addition to a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission, every 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 features an adjustable air suspension. Inside, you'll find a navigation system, 14-speaker harman/kardon sound system, 14-way power front seats, and many of the other goodies you'd expect in a 2012 model year luxury car. In the name of safety, the Mercedes CLS provides 12 airbags, Attention Assist drowsiness monitor, Electronic Stability Program and Bi-Xenon headlamps.
Top options on the Mercedes CLS550 include full LED headlamps, a back-up camera, heated and ventilated front seats, iPod interface, split-folding rear seats and an electric trunk closer. Available driver assist technologies – more than a dozen in all – include such innovations as Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Distronic PLUS cruise control, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Parktronic with Advanced Parking Assist, and Night View Assist PLUS with Pedestrian Detection. To enhance the performance equation, there's a Sport Package for the 2012 CLS550 that adds high-performance tires plus AMG-styled wheels and steering wheel.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 is powered by a smaller-but-more-powerful engine than last year's CLS: a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 in place of the previous 5.5-liter V8. Output is 402 hp – 20 more than before – and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. Power delivery is smooth and full-bodied (yes, much like a well-brewed stout), matched with quick, seamless shifts. It's always a hoot to have that much brute force at one's disposal. EPA fuel economy for the 2012 Mercedes CLS – 17 city/26 highway – are much better than the 2011 CLS550 (14 city/21 highway), even with the uptick in power.
4.7-liter twin-turbo V8

443 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1,800-4,750 rpm

"Didn't think I could ever give up the BMW driving experience... test drove every luxury sedan (Audi, Lexus, BMW, Jag, Porsche...) and this just blows them all away. Best of all worlds with the power, performance, handling, luxury, and features. It makes me WANT to drive, and what a joy to take others for a ride. Select sport/comfort transmission at the push of a button. Fuel economy is not bad with the eco start/stop feature. Things like the power seat with massage and gorgeous wood/leather steering wheel with thumb grips and paddle shifters are just icing on the cake. Tons of storage between the center console, glove box, and under seat compartments. Flawless bluetooth streaming of calls and music. Speakers everywhere for the Harman Kardon surround sound. MB customer service is outstanding. I'm hooked and I'll never look back!"

Have you ever wanted to write professionally? Perhaps you'd like to make some extra money writing articles for publication in your industry or taking on additional assignments to write for your company.
In this course, author Tom Geller explores the process of writing articles and publications for businesses large and small. The course begins with a look at the preparation you'll need to do, best ways to find assignments, and smart strategies for determining your article approach. Next, the course dives into techniques you can use to brainstorm angles, research, interview experts, finish a piece, and build your portfolio.
(music playing) Hi! I am Tom Geller and this is Writing Articles. No matter what your job is, articles are a great way to meet business objectives and promote yourself as a thought leader. The article format is always in demand, and readers find it especially credible. This course shows you the different kinds of articles you can write, where they're published, and how to get those assignments. By working our way through a typical article, we'll look at how to plan, where to find research sources, and ways to get past blank-page syndrome and actually start writing.
Going further, you'll see how to fit your article into a bigger project, how to manage the revision process, and how to deliver exactly what clients want so they'll turn to you again and again. This course assumes you already have basic writing skills. I won't talk about such mechanics as grammar and punctuation. But you will see ways to make your articles easier to create, edit, and read. I have been writing articles for over fifteen years as both a staff writer and a freelancer, and I just love the format.
It's long enough to explore a topic in detail, yet short enough to let you finish quickly and move on to the next one. So, whether you write for fun, for profit, or as part of your job, the article format is one well worth learning. Let's get started with Writing Articles.

Sonnen trashes Lil Nog & Belfort
Love him or hate him, Chael Sonnen (27-13-1 MMA, 6-6 UFC) is without question a 'company man', as he is always willing to step in and fight the best in the world whenever the UFC calls upon him to do so.
Chael recently spoke out about a couple of his peers whom he feels fail to 'show up' for their employer:
"'Little Nerd' said that he was going to do this fight and pulled out like he always does. Coincidentally, after the posters, press releases and free marketing all got done. I'm from a different time. I'm from a time when your word meant something. I'm from a time that, when you sign a contract, you show up for work whether you feel like it or not. This guy called in sick, like he always does, three weeks in advance. Nobody sitting out there today can call up their boss and say, 'Hey boss, three weeks from now, I'm not going to feel good.' It can't happen. He comes out two days ago and says he wants to fight 'Shogun.' Well listen genius; you could've fought 'Shogun.' You could have fought him in Winnipeg and you gave your word to the fans, to the promotion and to 'Shogun' that you would fight him.
The number one rule in show business, and you saw with all the hurdles that our leadership has had to get through, the show must go on. Every time 'Lil' Nog' or Vitor Belfort signs a contract, I go into training camp because I know an opportunity is going to open up. That's just the reality of the situation. I think Shogun's outstanding, he's got a ton of skills and he can definitely beat me. I can beat him too. I want to go into this fight being a bully knowing that I can beat the guy. It's a very hard match. We're both coming off very tough matches, but even Babe Ruth struck out every now and then. We both fight very tough guys and we fight them all the time. Above all else, if we give our word that we'll show up, we will."
Sonnen and Shogun are set to headline this weekend's UFC Fight Night 26 event live from Boston's TD Garden.
Do you agree with Chael's statements regarding Vitor and Lil Nog? Let's hear it Penn Nation!

= Absolute GOLD!!
What an idiot. He is fishing for fights. He can't beat anyone of status. If you say Bisping well then you are dumber than the usual idiots here. Bisping couldn't knock out a 5th grader. Sonne can't beat anyone important. Can't knock anyone out. He is a loser with a big mouth fishing for fights. His fans that continue to talk him up are delusional
Oh Shit, that WAS funny…So TRUE too.

Welcome to our list of favorite dining destinations in New York's Hudson Valley and Adirondack regions. We visit restaurants, wineries, barbecues, and a smattering of off the beaten path culinary destinations like maple sugar shacks and fromageries. My friends and I have been dining out together weekly for over twenty years. The locations we write about are our favorite destinations. We are not claiming they are the best, just our favorites. The posts are not "reviews" in the classic sense. - we offer only our picks, not pans. We will leave the criticism to others. We are a happy blog. We much prefer a good bistro to "haute cuisine", especially if they also have a nice bar. We prefer a crock of cassoulet and a bottle of Beaujolais to just about anything else. If you enjoy simple home style rustic cooking with a decent (but not too expensive) bottle of wine, then pull up a chair and join us.

Market Street ~ Rhinebeck, NY
19 West Market Street
Rhinebeck, NY
Phn: 845-876-7200
Open for Dinner ~ 7 Days
Lunch on Friday
Brunch ~ Saturday & Sunday
Fans of Gianni Scappin will be happy to hear that he is back in Rhinebeck. Gianni was one of the original co-owners at Gigi Trattoria, just around the corner from his newest location. He also runs Cucina Woodstock, and my sources tell me that a third location In Arlington - near Vassar College in the old Angelisa's space - will be opening this spring.
19 West Market Street is located just north of the Beekman Arms, and most recently housed the Mill House Panda. Locals with long memories will remember it as the location of Bob's Tavern.
Our Wednesday night dining crew stopped in last week for dinner. We were greeted at the door by the restaurant's manager, Luciano Valdivia, whose acquaintance we had made when he was working at Poughkeepsie's Bull and Buddha. We were in good hands.
Our preference is to dine at the bar if the setting lends itself to that endeavor, and Market Street's new layout was very accommodating. The bar and lounge area is separated from the main dining space, which winds through the building and ends at the wood fired brick ovens on the back wall.
We saddled up with our new favorite bartender, Alexandra, and started ordering what would turn into a procession of small plates and appetizers. We all ordered wine by the glass. The restaurant was featuring a Chardonnay / Sauvignon Blanc blend, Pico Maccario "Estrosa', for $10.
The menu at Market Street lends itself to grazing, which we like to do, with lots of small plates and sides, and a selection of personal size pizzas. There are a half dozen entree size platters and a like number of pastas and risottos available for those looking for an ala carte selection.
We sampled a classic Margherita pizza, with Gianni's crispy thin crust that will be familiar to Cucina and Gigi regulars. Always very nicely done. Cheese and salumi choices (3 / $10 or 5 / $18) include local Old Chatham ewes blue, Coach Farm goat cheese, pecorina or piave from Tuscany, or a Parmigiano Reggiano. Charcuterie choices included porchetta or coppa, Prosciutto di Parma, or Nostrano - a sweet pork salumi simply seasoned with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Throw in a plate of broccoli rabe ($7), and a basket of crusty Italian bread and color me happy.
There are dozens of choices for small plates and apps - baked pita with humus ($9), arancini (breaded and fried rice balls) served with a marinara ($8), crispy squid plated with an herb cornichon aioli ($12). We sampled a platter of grilled shrimp and white beans, drizzled with rosemary scented olive oil ($12). The beef meatballs were served with polenta and a classic tangy tomato sauce ($8). Very nice. You can view the complete menu here.
We will certainly add Market Street to our list of dining destinations, and I look forward to a return visit. Market Street is a very nice spot for a casual mix and match "small plate" dinner with friends, or for drinks and appetizers or a pizza at the bar.
If you do stop in please let our other readers know about your visit in the comments section.
I hope you'll "Like" Rambler on Facebook

David Atkins claims that despite the fact that New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and California Attorney General Kamala Harris agreed to the foreclosure deal, and there couldn't have been a deal without their sign on, they shouldn't be held responsible for their actions. From David Atkins:
But the people who should not be getting the blame are brave folks like Schneiderman and Harris. Schneiderman and Harris stood up to immense amounts of Administration pressure for months in an attempt to secure as much accountability as they could for the recklessly criminal financial sector cartels. A settlement on this issue was always going to happen for the reasons I stated above: the entire weight of the system basically demanded it. As long as banks are allowed to run our economic lives, nothing serious is going to be done to put financial institutions already on precarious footing into even more danger. Nothing is going to be done to throw their major executives in jail as long as people and government are seen as subservient to the Great Free Market, rather than the other way around.
Harris and Schneiderman fought as long and as hard as they could against this tide, and their efforts without question led to a better settlement than would have been achieved without them. I know there's a temptation to rail against them and declare them traitors, and that's understandable.
But I would advise that progressive wrath be focused where it belongs: on Holder, on the President, on the financial institutions and their executives (of course), and on the entire neoliberal ideology that enabled this situation to occur in the first place.
(emphasis mine)
On the first point, this is just horribly flawed logic. A deal was never inevitable. There was no deal without California. If at any time Harris ever definitively stated, "I will never accept any settlement," the deal would have died. Nothing is predestined. Claiming that a terrible thing was "always going to happen" so the people with the power to stop it should not be held responsible for agreeing to let it happen is the ultimate loser mentality. It will always be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
On the second point, Harris and Schneiderman are not some hapless victims of this dynamic. As elected attorneys general, they are the supreme legal officers in their states. They have the power to throw major executives in jail. The only reason the government is seen as subservient to the Great Free Market is because top government officials, like them, cut sweetheart deals instead of truly enforcing the laws. The only way this dynamic stops is if people in their positions do something about it, which they did not.
Of course Eric Holder, President Obama and all the other AGs all deserve to share the responsibility for this deal, which includes Schneiderman and Harris.
The fact is that as the elected chief legal officers in their states, no one had the power to make Harris or Schneiderman accept the deal. Yes, a lot of indirect political pressure was applied to them, but that is all it was. No one literally put a gun to their heads. Nothing actually prevented them from fighting longer or harder. The deal happened because they choose to agree to it. It would not have happened without them.
No one should get a pass. Everyone should be held responsible for the choices they make.

Margaret Foster
Seasons of love
So clear and bright, in perfect tune,
The springtime of our youth was when
our love was as a silver moon.
The whole of life before us then.
The moon, thro' time, would change her face
to summer red, and cast her glow
on joy, increasing with life's pace,
And our sweet love, in steady flow.
A love so strong was ours to hold,
Like tempered steel forged in the fire.
Our moon was shining autumn gold,
No waning of our fond desire.
But when our winter moon turned blue,
You wandered down the shadowed lane.
My darling this I promise you,
At Heaven's gates we'll meet again.

In Hearne the signs are up, but some questions remain about the the
celebrations behind National Night out.
"I didn't even know they were having it," said Joy Jackson, Hearne resident.
Coordinators Jessica Vega and Angela Serna are doing some last minute shopping for the big night.
"For us its something that brings the community together that's our goal to bring everyone together,"said Jessica Vega, Communications Supervisor.
There wasn't an event last year due to the lack of manpower at the Police Department . But this year with the help of donations from local businesses Jessica and Angela are gearing up for event.
The city is expecting about 300 people to come out.
The Hearne Police department is hosting National Night Out for the first time and some residents are already excited about it.
Resident Joy wants her son to have fun but learn a lesson..
"..Sure because my son is a little bit afraid of the cops, he just got his driver's license which is a good thing because I want him to be afraid, but yet I want him to be able to trust someone too when I'm not available," said Jackson.
Hearne Police Chief Thomas Williams wants to extend an live branch to the community.
"We're not their enemies we're their friends in need, when they need us," said Chief Thomas Williams.
It's a chance to meet and greet, because you never know when you'll need your neighbors.
"The organized event might help folks kinda get out of their shell, "said Don Connealy.
Benches are being set up as the city aims to bring the town together.

When the FORBES billionaire issue comes out, Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista will be missing in action.
A $3.8 billion default, the biggest corporate default ever in Latin America, hangs over him. To this day, his flagship enterprise, OGX Oil and Gas, has failed for the third time to come up with a revival plan. This thing has sunk, and will be very difficult to revive except for a few spare parts.
OGX was supposed to provide a local court with plans to pay back its debtors on Friday, but asked for an extension.
Batista's oil firm, the first private oil company in Brazil, was due to provide plans to the courts on January 24 but asked for a week extension. Then on January 31, OGX asked for another extension to Feb. 7, which according to the local press in Brazil they have not been able to meet. A new date has not yet been scheduled.
Batista has until Feb. 17 to come up with a new date and deliver it the Fourth District Court in Rio de Janeiro. With the Brazilian real declining in value, and new debts included in the mega-default, Batista's debt load now sits over $5 billion. In March 2013, FORBES had Batista's net worth at $10.3 billion.

Mitt Romney Eats McDonald's On His Way To Meeting Obama At The White House
Mitt Romney made sure to stop at McDonald's before meeting President Obama for a lunch meeting today at The White House.
It's unclear as to what time Romney visited McDonald's, as the photo was posted on Reddit about 2 AM EST.
The two former adversaries sat down to talk about shared interests and plans to better the country today at the White House's private dining room.
Romney arrived at the White House early Thursday afternoon in a black SUV, walking into the West Wing alone. He left after staying at the White House for just over an hour.
"The president noted that Gov. Romney did a terrific job running the Olympics and that that skills set lends itself to ideas that could make the federal government work better, which is a passion of the president's," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Obama's aides reached out to the Romney team shortly before Thanksgiving in order to set up the meeting.
Other than the appearance at the White House today, Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his election loss.
Romney has spent the past three weeks largely in seclusion at his family's Southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief then because they new the massive war was soon to end, regardless of what their politics was. Certainly the end of Allied war-crime civilian city bombing against Germany would be a relief to have come to an end, no?

If you are really offering it...More joking, I see. If you are really offering it up as a choice, then of course you should believe me- the guy reporting the story as written by everyone in the world that was actually there. Otherwise, you would be choosing to adopt the ridiculous rhetoric of a Canadian, dyed-in-the-wool socialist whose Keynesian economic beliefs are ridiculed the world over. Maybe you should actually research his history, not just visit Wikipedia; though, even Wikipedia does point out many of his extreme leftist ties and views. As for Harvard, well, I'm unimpressed: I have sheepskins from Princeton and MIT, my wife from Yale, my daughter from CalTech and Berkley... They are just schools my friend- attendance at them just means somebody paid for you to be there.

So, what I am saying is simple: I believe what my grandfather, my great aunt, and the vast majority of my wife's family report about the pre-WWII Germany they lived in. It just so happens that it matches very closely with what HISTORY reports as well. Life for them as natural born citizens, living a middle class life, in Hamburg, became a miserable existence in 1933 and did not improve until Hitler's death. "On that day, every citizen breathed a sigh of relief- the misery was almost over." -- My grandfather

And your nonsense about gas chambers is just revisionist history. My wife's family, the one's who survived, would take exception to your Dachau humor. Again- revisionist history. You are letting your anti-semitism show "Johnny" and your revisionist history is premature... There are still people alive today who witnessed the gas chambers operation... In fact, I have two grand parents in-law with Auschewitz & Buchenvald (sp?) tattoos on their arms. They were " undesirables" not Jews, so they didn't get gassed, they just had to clean up after... Nice try- no dice.Merlin Wizardhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-80492741049471824582013-02-05T16:47:54.814-08:002013-02-05T16:47:54.814-08:00Also, the claims of National Socialism's econo...Also, the claims of National Socialism's economic successes come primarily from John Kenneth Galbraith who served as U.S Ambassador to India for several years, was adviser to multiple U.S Presidents and was an economics professor at the world renowned Harvard University.

Now, should I rely on the claims of a highly respected economist and diplomat with direct connections to the halls of power in both the U.S and numerous world governments...backed up by a number of respected historians and the documentation they cite?

Or rely on the unsourced propaganda claims and personal opinions of "Merlin Wizard" on the comments section of Activist Post?

Jeez, tough call on that one... [/sarcasm]

The sources I cite all base their views on the actual documented facts, of which there is vast documentation in the archives of Germany, Russia, U.S.A, Britain, Australia, Canada, Italy, Poland, etc.

Documented facts vs. "he said that she said that so-and-so said that the Germans... and government sources confirm".

In early 1945 hundreds of "eye-witnesses" claimed the Germans exterminated Jews with gas-chambers at over a dozen German concentration camps like Dachau.

By the time of the IMT/Nuremberg Trials all claims of gas-chambers and mass-murder on German soil had disappeared as the Americans liberated the camps to discover the falsity of the claims.

As the sign ironically states at Dachau the "gas chamber" there was never used. The only physically evidenced, semi-provable "gas chamber" at any German camp was "never used" by the Allies own admission.

Only the claims from the Soviets about the Eastern camps in Poland inaccessible to any independent investigators behind the "Iron Curtain" maintained the existence of gas-chamber mass-exterminations(and electrocution chambers, steam chambers, pedal-powered brain-bashing machines, etc.).

Of course the Soviets would never lie... their blaming of the Katyn Forest Massacre on the Germans at Nuremberg when it was carried out by Soviet NKVD was just an accident... lost in translation, eh?

And the witnesses the Soviet's brought forward to testify about seeing the Germans doing the NKVD's dirty work at Katyn had just been dehydrated those days and hallucinating, or were just confused, eh?

And their use of the most detailed forensic report on a mass-grave excavation in modern history to "convict" the Nazi's was just an error - they meant to specify that the report was assembled by the Nazi's documenting the Soviet's crimes at Katyn.

90% of the propaganda people like you believe in is total BS made up by the Soviets and supported by the Allies for promoting their own purposes.

I certainly hope that was sarcasm. Otherwise, I would remind you that the (illgotten) gains of the Germans from 1933-1939 came at a very heavy cost. And for someone to say that economic recovery occurred in the absence of inflation is purely absurd. Inflation had ravaged the country prior to 1933, and their subsequent improvement in the absence of any MORE inflation is completely underwhelming. you also failed to note (conveniently) that people were fleeing Germany in droves and by the time Hitler took over, employment was already increasing in order to fill all of the vacancies. Beyond that, massive wealth grabs took place - and not just from the elite, "undesirables" we're being deported (or worse), "work camps" were springing up everywhere and the average income for everyone began to decrease; except the destitute- they were shipped to the work camps. All wealth in the country was being consolidated with the government - SO IT COULD BUILD A WAR MACHINE!

All figures from 1933-1943 are completely skewed, unverified and most-likely fake if they show any per capita improvement. Just look at the source of those numbers: a government trying to convince the world that they are rebuilding their country - not amassing an army for world domination.

Nothing "usable" came from the socialists; ever. Their philosophy flies in the face of nature, it has never been successful and never will.Merlin Wizardhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-17205460897643307312013-02-05T13:10:54.152-08:002013-02-05T13:10:54.152-08:00Oh, I also missed the "solid proof" that...Oh, I also missed the "solid proof" that the article advertises. "Solid proof" would be emails or letters from any of the 'cabal' collaborating, recordings of the secret meetings, investment records showing divestiture prior to collapse or investment prior to a windfall. A list of names that has been floated for decades, a list of corporate ownership, two wiki page links and a quote from Rockefeller do not a "solid proof" make.

I counter that the uber-riche of the world do collaborate to further their efforts, when it suits them; however, the rule of the jungle insists that they struggle against one another until they too have a leader. That leader, I conclude, is the most powerful and/or most devious amongst them, but it hardly means he's the "one" with the "master plan". Unlike so many, here, who see conspiracy in every event, I am a scientist who lives a purely logical life. Humans are easy to predict, once you understand our motives, and even easier to control- once you understand our motivations. Rich or poor, our behavior is the same and the "outliers" are either snipped by poverty/insanity/incarceration or propelled to leadership- the rest are "followers".Merlin Wizardhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-12013572076444954772013-02-05T12:55:54.354-08:002013-02-05T12:55:54.354-08:00My first observation is simply, The reality that t...My first observation is simply, The reality that there is a "red pill vs. blue pill choice" means that someone else is in control. It is sort of a "no sh!t" statement, I know, but you have to begin somewhere. Ever since man began grouping into communities, there has been a leader. What that brings with it is, oh so very human: Jealousy. Those who want to be leader but cannot, for whatever reason. The truly amazing side effect of "communities" is the sheer number of people willing to be "lead".

It was really at the moment we stopped hunting and gathering independently that this problem began and there is little hope we can actually escape " leadership", in it's entirety, ever.

Those who "lead us", whether elected/selected or surreptitiously installed, are there because they did something better or more devious than their competitor. Take the current monster we installed as our president: who, in their right mind, would have predicted that he would have won a second term given his fecklessness during the first? Who, with a clear conscience and a straight face would have stated that his "followers" would support him the second time around with as much enthusiasm as the first time- given they were the most hard-hit by his ineptitude? To watch his followers on the news, you would have thought you were watching an interview at a psych ward... Well, it all happened.

Is the question, "who do we blame"? Is it the media, the people who voted for him, the cabal behind the media, the conspiracy of "those in real power" or do we blame those who didn't do enough? Or worse, do we blame those who did nothing? -- "Nope" to all of them - that's the wrong question.

The question is simply, "How do we take back enough control so that we can tolerate 'being lead' by people we didn't choose?" We'll never take it all back- short of a meteor strike that sends us all back to caveman days, but we can take back enough to make living in "the matrix" tolerable since its a creation of our own humanity.Merlin Wizardhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-72870103581859682192013-02-04T23:39:06.266-08:002013-02-04T23:39:06.266-08:00Thanks Michael.

Surely you have something better to do, like watch the Super Bowl. You know we are spending lots of money to keep you entertained."

Honestly, although they did work together for a while and share many ideological characteristics the primary difference between National Socialism and Zionist globalism is that the Nazi's sought to build up strong nations and peoples, whereas the Zionists seek to destroy strong nations and peoples.

Strong nations are an obstacle for supra-nationalism, that is why the globalist bankers have been seeking to divide and "Balkanize" such nations all over the world(Libya, Syria, Iran, etc.).

I do believe the movement calling for U.S states to secede from the Federal Union is a "psy-op" or patsy group for the globalists, the U.S.A as the strongest nation on the planet is the biggest obstacle to supra-nationalism.

Broken down and ravaged by "civil war" and such the U.S.A will not be able to resist the globalists push for supra-nationalism.

They have purposefully infiltrated and used the U.S.A as their primary weapon/tool in their agenda and at the same time caused all this economic, social and political damage to incite the people of western nations to destroy their own countries to pave the way for the supranational globalist Marxist state.

I have been warning people for a few years to be careful that in their pursuit of "saving" America and the western world in general from it's own apparent self-destruction that they don't end up destroying it themselves and handing victory to their opponents.

Sadly at this moment that to me looks to be the most likely outcome of this activist movement right now, if global war doesn't initiate first and render it a moot point anyways.

As prominent American historian Professor John A. Garraty put it both Hitler's personal views and the goals of National Socialism "inclined the regime to favor the ordinary German over any elite group. Workers … had an honored place in the system... It is beyond argument that the Nazis encouraged working-class social and economic mobility."(1)

To encourage acquisition of new skills, the government greatly expanded vocational training programs, and offered generous incentives for further advancement of efficient workers.(2)

In a 1934 interview with American journalist Louis Lochner Hitler stated: "In my opinion, the Americans are right in not wanting to make everyone the same but rather in upholding the principle of the ladder. However, every single person must be granted the opportunity to climb up the ladder."(3)

In 1933 there were 6 million unemployed Germans and the country was in shambles.

By 1936 there were only 1 million unemployed thanks to National Socialist policies.

By late 1939 unemployment in Germany had been completely ERADICATED, leading to a shortage of labor instead(filled partially when the war started by forced labor of "enemies of the State").

Salaries and worker benefits increased steadily throughout the 1930's, and actually continued climbing until 1943. By 1943 the average weekly earnings of German workers had increased 41% over 1933.(4)

Unfortunately as author, former U.S Ambassador, economic adviser to numerous presidents and Harvard economics professor John Kenneth Galbraith explained so well: "The elimination of unemployment in Germany during the Great Depression without inflation -- and with initial reliance on essential civilian activities -- was a signal accomplishment. It has rarely been praised and not much remarked. The notion that Hitler could do no good extends to his economics as it does, more plausibly, to all else."

Don't let the propaganda against National Socialism make you ignore some of the most successful economic policies in modern human history.

The Nazi's and Hitler did know how to do some good things, they were the National Socialist German WORKERS Party for a reason.

As Hitler stated in his radio address to the German nation 2 days after assuming the Chancellorship:

"The Marxist parties and their allies have had 14 years to show what they can do. The result is a heap of ruins. Now, people of Germany, give us four years and then pass judgment upon us!"

After 6 years Germany was an economic powerhouse with no unemployment and a labor shortage.

Just like the modern U.S "Nazi's".... eh? :rolleyes:

Roosevelt and his Marxist policies were a fart in the philosophical wind compared to the Nazi's successful strategies for combating economic distress caused by wealthy elitists with their own agendas.

Jonny

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb.

They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God. Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough to live forever and never see the grave.

Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind. The grave is their eternal home, where they will stay forever. They may name their estates after themselves, but their fame will not last. They will die, just like animals. This is the fate of fools, though they are remembered as being wise. Like sheep, they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd. Their bodies will rot in the grave, far from their grand estates.

So don't be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid. For when they die, they take nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave. In this life they consider themselves fortunate and are applauded for their success. But they will die like all before them and never again see the light of day.

People who boast of their wealth don't understand; they will die, just like firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-89364804497875374762013-01-31T05:15:10.339-08:002013-01-31T05:15:10.339-08:00Iran is the Media/Persia empire.

Power & control comes from knowledge, keep reading, researching, learning, and like Yoda says, pass on what you know, educate your F&F. An educated population is an understanding & tolerant population. Dumb chumps are easily manipulated.

The Magic Trick - The Misdirect.

Avoid misdirects like the "media machine" which pushes sex & inadequacy. This leads to addiction - drugs, caffeine, alcohol, sugar, consumerism, gambling. Try to cut adverts out of your life completely.

The most dangerous of all smoke and mirror misdirects is religion, tax free cash cows which pit man against woman, brother against brother. It's the old "switcheroo" while we're fighting amongst ourselves, we're distracted from the truth and they're dipping their hands into our pockets helping themselves to our hard earned!

Making Little Soldiers.

It is every adults' moral duty to protect our children. They are innocent, vulnerable & need us, trust us.
Indoctrination & Segregation of infants is immoral and a violation of their trust in us. This is how they begin their thought control, they brainwash us, teach us to hate ourselves, our species & our planet and to love the almighty "dollar". (Basic human rights - kids should have the right NOT to be indoctrinated.)

The culture of wealth.

They fool us into thinking that wealth is winning, that greed is success. Survival of our species is the only measure of success and we're heading for extinction. Global warming, scarcity of finite resources. Check out phosphorus (NPK soil balance) as just one example.

Ego & Ownership.

Humankind "owns" nothing but our own bodies & minds. We are born with nothing & leave with nothing. We don't own our parents, our partners nor our children. Humankind is nature, not above, we are a recent addition to the life which has been surviving here for thousands of millions of years. Humankind cannot "own" a planet, we can only live on one and what is stopping us sharing it? You'd think it madness if "Greedy-Corp" asked you to pay for air, so why are we paying for water?

Sustainable.

The ruling class' wealth is more or less just zeros and ones in cyberspace. Their power is meaningless if we become non-consumers and learn to support ourselves as much as possible. When you wake on a morning, ask yourself what you NEED to be happy & survive, and discard those things you may only WANT, you'll find Humankind needs very little - Food, water, shelter, power, sanitation, transport, communication & medicine, and you'll find working 40hrs a week probably isn't on the list. Capitalism today has become immoral greed, and as intelligent addiction free humans, what's wrong with considering need before greed?

Escape the Stressful grind.

Try to grow your own food, help community gardens, find your own energy (solar panels etc) water capture, closed-loop recycling, insulate, cycle more, reduce carbon footprint, reduce your monthly bills, down-size even, spend your valuable time on the important things - the sacred life around us, our family, friends, and neighbours. Humankind is good people. Our lives are quite short, we get 3 or 4 score & 10, if we're miserable and just waiting for death, what's the email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-70307985363444480582013-01-31T02:09:49.653-08:002013-01-31T02:09:49.653-08:00When I read articles like this and being an Afric...When I read articles like this and being an African living in Africa, I can't stop to wonder the relationship between this group in relation to the abject poverty, misery, oppression, crisis, genocides and you name it in Africa. Maybe Africans have been wrongly throwing blames on purported dictators whereas these supposed dictators are just the stage boys of the invisible group. Am I correct? If so, then, the rest of the world population should stop under-looking Africans because they are suffering what if not of their making. The right fingers should be pointed to the right directions to those who are responsible for the life-state of Africa(ns).

Its a terrible experiences over here as majority of the people lives in squalor, starvation, deprivation of every dignified life and the worst is that, these same people are sure, orchestrating an elaborate scam where westerners are told to contribute money towards helping Africans yet, they collects all these contributions to further help themselves.

People of the world, here is my advice, the next time you feel like helping an African, I will advocate that, you do a PERSON-TO-PERSON direct help. Don't channel your hard earn money through some so called "charity organization" which all are still the various mechanism of these very group used still to extort even more money out of your pocket. You see, they use us in all forms. Pit each one another and stay in the middles to extract every flow of resources from all ends. Forget all the scrap about World Food Program and all the other proxies supposed crisis organizations. They are all SCAMS. Channel your many to individuals directly. A person to person network is what we can use to help each other. for any more info: reach me at : rep237(att)gmail(dot)firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-30567898265151740272013-01-30T20:07:57.982-08:002013-01-30T20:07:57.982-08:00It's the jews.It's the email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811593327276272802.post-15185080845635091762013-01-30T19:13:51.602-08:002013-01-30T19:13:51.602-08:00Unfortunately the same disease that drives their g...Unfortunately the same disease that drives their greed and gluttony turns to wanting power. When any material thing on earth is at your finger tips without even batting an eye life becomes boring so power becomes their next elixir that makes them feel alive.

Your productivity is gone, there is nothing more to be harvested for them from you,, then just die.
It may sound wrong to a moral person but not when you think your God and your thoughts are the laws of humanity.

But it has no value to say $1.00 or $10.00; a millionaire, or a trillionaire; it is only we who ascribe the value to the paper instruments they use to prove to us they own an un-ownable dust speck in space. You give their money value with your belief. The wars in the oil region are to maintain the illusion of dollar value in oil when in fact we are even past the point of being able to afford the paper to print the cash. Not only is money fiat money, but the huge debts recently ratcheted up are electrons, not even paper, so all the Wall Street Trading, is churning the electrons back and forth ascribing greater and greater belief in the system called Dollar Hegemony.

Lindsay Lohan's I Know Who Killed Me wasn't screened for critics, which, given the events of the past week, was probably someone's attempt to stop the deluge of bad press with a earplug. It was, however, screened for the film's cast and crew. An insider told Defamerhow the (supposedly sympathetic) audience reacted, and it wasn't pretty. To wit:
"In the scene where Lindsay gets hit in the face with a shovel– a scene meant to be terrifying–the audience erupted into laughter. Another not-funny-but-funny moment: when Lilo's stripper character who may or may not be suffering from a split personality is being questioned by cops, she refers to her mother as 'a crackwhore, disgusting, pathetic' . . . ouch Dina! The line was received by riotous laughter."
Sad, sad, sad. This is not going to end well, folks.
