OKANOGAN Food, winter hats and toys will be distributed Saturday morning in the Omak-Okanogan Community Christmas Basket Program.
Distribution starts at 8 a.m. at the Okanogan County Fairgrounds Agriplex, 175 Rodeo Trail Road. As many people as possible will be allowed inside the building during distribution so they don't have to wait outside in the cold, co-chairwoman Constanza Smith said.
Basket recipients are asked to bring along a phone, electric or city utility bill to prove residence in Riverside, Conconully, Omak, Okanogan or Malott, Smith said. Arrangements can be made for limited basket delivery for shut-ins.
Each basket will contain food for Christmas dinner, along with staples for a week.
In Omak and Okanogan, school groups are helping with the basket program.
In Omak, high school students collected non-perishable food last week to support the basket program.
During the week, Omak collected 1,443 canned and dried goods, 821 pounds of potatoes and $351.29 cash.
"This was double the number of items on record from last year," Associated Student Body adviser Randy Smith said.
Rewards were offered for the amount of food gathered.
One of those rewards was paid off Monday, when Principal David Kirk took on Omak senior Jacob Cutrell on the wrestling mat.
Kirk held his own for two rounds against Cutrell — the reigning regional champion and sixth-ranked wrestler in 1A — before Cutrell clinched the victory by pin at the 4:30 mark.
In Okanogan, students are collecting money for the basket program, with the effort culminating in the annual Polar Plunge. The more money raised, the more people will plunge, sophomore Laura Brown said.
The plunge is set for 2:30 p.m. Friday on the football field. The Okanogan Fire Department provides a portable pool and cold water.
"It's basically to give back to our community," Brown said.
Classes, from sixth-grade through seniors, compete against each other. Daily prizes include cookies and candy canes.
For each pre-set level of donations achieved, one more class of students will plunge, followed by the staff, principals and a school board member. This year's designated board member is Monte Andrews.
Along with the food, the Christmas Basket Program includes toys provided by area motorcycle groups and hats made and collected by the Caps for Kids program. The latter also includes mittens and coats.
Betty Wilson of the Gold Wing Touring Group said the goal is to have $4,000 worth of toys available. Donation cans, the annual Toy Run and business donations support the program.
Toys will be purchased Friday and taken to the Agriplex for distribution the following morning. Toy donations can be arranged by contacting Wilson at 509-422-3438.
Caps for Kids, spearheaded by Vickie Ledger of Omak, last year donated 1,800 hats to the Omak-Okanogan Community Christmas Basket Project and local schools. The goal is to give as many this year.
More than a dozen women knit, crochet and create hats on weaving looms. Some also make scarves. Ledger supplies much of the yarn, which people donate and she purchases at yard sales.
She also scours sales for coats, boots, gloves and hats; business donations also help, she said.
Basket organizers with the Omak Kiwanis Club and Omak-Okanogan Civic League draw on a variety of businesses, clubs, school groups, churches and others to provide donated food, cash and meat certificates. The goal is to assemble at least 280 baskets, Smith said.
Donations will be accepted from 4-7 p.m. each evening through Friday at the Agriplex. Bulk donations will be assembled those days into apple boxes provided by Gebbers Farms.
Holiday dinner suggestions include a meat certificate (small, $10, or large, $12-$15), plus canned vegetables (corn and beans suggested), potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing mix and dessert mix.
Suggested staple items include rice, beans, cereal, jelly, peanut butter, syrup, pancake mix, oil, tuna, main dish mixes, powdered milk, flour, noodles, soup and fruit or juice.
Donations of individual food items can be made, or a business, group or family can donate a complete basket, organizers said.
Cash donations can be made to the Community Christmas Basket Account at the Omak branch of Wells Fargo Bank, 21 W. First St.
Smith said monetary and meat certificate donations are especially needed this year, since the account isn't as healthy has it has been in past years.
Basket organizers often have to supplement donated food with purchased items to round out the baskets' contents.
She said Okanogan County is one of the poorest areas in the state and more people seem to be in need this year than ever before.
U.S. Census statistics show one in five people in the county were living below the federal poverty level by the end of 2011.

More jobs could go at the Nelson City Council as the organisation looks at outsourcing parts of its information management department.
The council could not confirm how many jobs will be lost, but chief executive Clare Hadley said of 12 positions in the information management team six positions may be disestablished, five created, five reconfirmed, and one reassigned.
Last year the council completed a reorganisation which resulted in 49 positions being disestablished - with 18 staff made redundant, 22 staff accepting alternate positions and nine vacant roles axed. It took effect on October 14 with a reduced senior management team and its parking operations contracted out.
It then began a review of its administration and information management.
Hadley said the council spent about $4.5 million a year on information technology, but the proposed changes were not about saving money, but "ensuring council makes the right choices and the right investments in technology to ensure they support business outcomes".
Public Service Association Nelson organiser Mike Cunliffe has made a submission to the council asking it to reconsider its position. The PSA said it strongly opposed outsourcing when the decision was being made on bias rather than fact.
"In the current proposal no costings have been provided to support the business case for outsourcing. The current justification for outsourcing is based on assumption and a personal bias that the private sector can deliver better services than an in-house council business unit can.
The PSA believes this argument is based on ideology rather than fact. There is no intrinsic reason why council cannot run its information management services efficiently once a clear focus is achieved," he said.
Hadley said outsourcing work would allow "the day-to-day support services to be available to staff without interruption" and that using external experts for short, but intense periods of time would be more efficient with certain projects.
"We need a dynamic, flexible, and responsive way to manage our information technology. It will mean an improved level of service will be provided in a different way. The intensive nature of launching a new software package or analysing a system upgrade can be the focus of an external project manager while our team focuses on serving internal customers," she said.
Cunliffe said services outsourced often ended up being brought back in-house. "Whilst NCC continues to outsource services such as parking and information management, other authorities are bringing services back in house. This is true of Wellington where parking has been brought back in house," he said.
The PSA also noted how outsourcing could lead to a loss for the local economy if the contract went to an operator outside the region.
The union wrote that while it recognised restructures were sometimes needed in this case the outsourcing and resulting redundancy which should go "hand in hand with restructure plans" was "overlooked" and in isolation from an overall restructure of the council.
The PSA was also concerned about the loss of institutional knowledge for the council due to staff cuts and Cunliffe said the PSA struggled to see how the cuts measured up against the council's commitment to long-term sustainability as outlined in "Nelson 2060", which states "no one stands alone - we are all connected as part of a living system. Our strategy acknowledges this and asks us to all work together to create a future we all want".
"It is difficult to equate this aspiration in the broad brush approach NCC takes to closing services, outsourcing, and redundancy none of which favour its citizens, or its stated aim of achieving a sustainable community," he said.
Hadley recognised the stress it was putting on the workforce, but said she had not yet made a final decision.
"Any change of this nature is going to be difficult for staff and disruptive to their work and lives. I'm proposing a pretty significant change to the way council delivers information technology. We've taken many months to work through it. The downside is staff with information management responsibilities would be adversely affected, I acknowledge that. I know it's been a very tough time and we've offered support to help them," she said.

No Novopay inquiry - auditor general
Relevant offers
National News
Auditor-General Lyn Provost says her office is monitoring the problems with education payroll system Novopay, but has decided that there will be no investigation for now.
"The Ministry announced last year that it would commission an independent review and last week said that its review is to be brought forward,'' Provost said in a statement.
''Therefore, I have decided that it would be premature for this office to begin an inquiry at the moment.
"The agencies that are responsible for understanding and fixing the problems should be given a reasonable opportunity to do so.''
Provost acknowledged concerns schools held that Novopay could increase their audit costs.
''We are working with the Ministry [of Education] to minimise the workload for schools on their 2012 financial statements, as well as minimising any additional work that auditors have to carry out,'' she said.
"I fully appreciate that this is a difficult and stressful time for all involved, and I will be keeping a close eye on developments.
"If the steps that the Ministry takes do not adequately address the issues, I will reconsider whether there is a role for my office,'' Provost said.
More heat may go on the Government over Novopay as secondary principals prepare to take a vote of no confidence in the troubled teacher pay system.
Secondary Principals Association president Patrick Walsh confirmed a survey would be sent to 320 principals this week asking whether they had confidence in the system - and warned that there was a high level of ''anger and agitation'' over the ongoing Novopay debacle.
The vote would be known before the next pay round in a couple of weeks.
He said the Government could face a backlash if it ignored an overwhelming vote of no confidence.
It could affect the willingness of schools to cooperate on key government policy objectives, National Standards, and NCEA.
But Prime Minister John Key said yesterday the Government was taking the issue seriously.
That was why he had installed fourth-ranked Cabinet Minister Steven Joyce as minister in charge.
Asked about speculation that some teachers were contemplating strike action, Key said he would ''strongly advise'' them against it.
''You can see by my action yesterday I am taking it seriously; I'm not quite sure what striking would do. You strike to get an outcome and we're giving them an outcome.''
But Walsh said the problems with Novopay had been going on for months.
''There have been 8000 errors, they've had three years to implement the new system; it's cost $30 million . . . principals are angry that they and support staff had to come back on holiday and sort out problems while politicians and ministry staff were on holiday.''
The Secondary Principals Association wanted a full and independent inquiry by the Auditor General.
''The message of we're working on it...is beginning to wear a little thin.
''We want to know...can it be fixed?''
The latest pay round happened overnight Tuesday but so far no significant issues have been reported.
Joyce warned, however, that problems would continue for some time.
Ongoing problems have seen some school staff go without pay for months.
Joyce said ''nobody'' was happy with the current issues, from the Government and ministry officials to Talent2, the Australian company which developed Novopay.

Known for running crepe stations in neighborhood farmers markets, Anita's Crêpes now has a French restaurant in "Frelard" — the gray area where many locals believe Fremont ends and Ballard begins.
If you've ever been to a neighborhood farmers markets, you know its name — or at least have seen Nutella dripping out of one of its folded crepes.
Anita's Crêpes is known for running crepe stations around farmers markets, and now it has its own restaurant, which debuted last month in the 'hood known as "Frelard" — the gray area where many locals believe Fremont ends and Ballard begins.
It's a French bistro. But by its name, you can safely assume that crepes are the main draw.
The menu: Anita's Crêpes serves lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Its seasonal menus are highlighted by fresh, organic produce and game meat. The bistro features an extensive, rotating menu of crepes, both savory and sweet. The dinner menu includes braised veal shank with glazed carrots and short ribs with horseradish cream.

Most Read Stories
What to write home about: The best crepe was the Sweet Cheese, with ricotta, candied orange peel, powdered sugar, chantilly and bits of pistachios. It had nice nutty, salty, tangy and sweet nuances. Also noteworthy was the Prosciutto Di Parma crepe with Gruyère and arugula, although it could have used a sweeter cheese to offset the porky saltiness. The Lemon Sugar crepe also was nice, even though the caramelized sugar was unevenly spread
What to skip: The Sausage crepe — with andouille, arugula, sunny-side-up organic egg and Emmentaler, a popular cheese in Switzerland. It would have been better if the mediocre sausage was a backdrop instead of the featured ingredient.
The setting: The French-style bistro has enormous windows and a cheerful, comfy atmosphere. The jazzy music can be a bit loud for conversation.
Summing up: The bill for four crepes, two savories and two desserts, totaled $42.82 after tax. The crepes range from $8 to $12, a bit pricey, but you're paying for gourmet fare here — something you don't get at those crepe stations Anita's runs around neighborhood markets.

Ankh Symbolism
The Ankh was, for the ancient Egyptians, the symbol (the actual Hieroglyphic sign) of life but it is an enduring icon that remains with us even today as a Christian cross. The Ankh is possibly one of the most widely recognized symbols other than the cross, sacred to the ancient Egyptians, and often used as an amulet, this symbol is basically the T or Tau cross supporting a circular shape. Giving the appearance of the shape of a key, in Egyptian hieroglyphics this symbol stands for life or living, and forms part of the Egyptian words such as 'health' and 'happiness'. Linked with Egyptian gods and goddesses, such as Isis (eternal mother and High Priestess) and Osiris, most gods would appear to have possessed the ankh, to symbolize life, sexual union, and immortality. It is thus often referred to as the Key of Life, or even the cross of life, because of its creative power. The loop of the ankh is considered to be the feminine, whilst the T shape is considered to be the masculine staff. Together, these symbols reflect a continued existence.

I dont really like the charger cables for apple stuff, they bend and break too easy. (no strain relief) its almost as if they are designed to break.
I made this for an ipad cable, I think iphone etc are the same.
Just print (must be ABS for flexibility, PLA will break) insert the cable in the obvious way. it will take up most of flex, but it could probably be improved with a bit more tweaking.
I used 1 wall and 15% fill, you might be able to do 2 wall and 0 percent fill for more consistant bending, need to test a bit more

Stilton campaigns to reverse decision banning it from naming blue cheese after famous village
- Cambridgeshire village claims to be birthplace of famous cheese - but cannot use its name
- European law states Stilton can only be produced in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
For years it has been a village synonymous with one of Britain's most famous cheeses.
But while the Cambridgeshire village of Stilton may claim to be the home of the crumbly blue favourite, those who produce the cheese are bizarrely not allowed to use its famous name.
A current European Law ruling means Stilton cheese can only be produced by seven dairies in Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Tradition: Cheese makes in Stilton, Cambridgeshire, have been banned from using the name for the famous cheese produced in their village
Famous: Stilton makes the most of its association with the famous cheese, and villagers are hoping to gain official recognition from Defra soon
The 'ridiculous' decision means that while the famous blue cheese can be made in Stilton, it has to go by the name Bell Blue.
Now, after last year finally winning the right to produce Stilton in their village at all, campaigners in Cambridgeshire want the right to call their product by its proper name.
current dispute over Stilton being able to use the cheese's name in its
own village stems in part from the historic blue's history.
Historical evidence suggests a cream cheese was being made and sold in and around Stilton in the late 17th century.
recipe for Stilton cheese was published in a newsletter by Richard
Bradley in 1723, but no details were given on its size, shape, or how
long it was matured.
1724 Daniel Defoe commented in his 'Tour through the villages of
England & Wales' of Stilton being 'famous for cheese' and referred
to the cheese as being the 'English Parmesan'.
later article by John Lawrence in 1726 suggested that the perfect
Stilton should be... 'about 7 inches in diameter, 8 inches in height and
18 lbs in weight.'
As Stilton became a trading post between London and Edinburgh, the cheese was said to be sold to passing traders.
As demand for the cheese grew, its production moved to Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
It was at this stage that the cheese's trademark blue veins became a part of the product, as it also became semi-hard blue cheese.
On Monday the village of Stilton applied to Defra for an extension of the protected designation of origin (PDO) for the cheese to cover their parish.
The village launched their campaign two days ago at the start of National Stilton Week 2012, and will boost their efforts by adding the phrase 'Original Home of Stilton Cheese' to a sign outside their village.
Stilton cheese is said by some to have got its name after being sold to travellers passing through the village in the 18th century.
Officials in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, however, say Stilton was only a trade link and that the recipe was created in their county.
Stilton is officially recognised as coming from Leicestershire, and can only be produced there and in its two neighbouring counties following the PDO in 1996.
Liam McGivern, landlord of the Bell Inn in Stilton, makes a version of the cheese which until now he has had to call Bell Blue.
He said that not being able to call the cheese Stilton is 'embarrassing', especially given the tourist appeal that comes with the product.
He said: 'We get people coming in all the time saying, "Oh, can you direct me to the cheese factory?"
'If you asked 99 per cent of the population where the cheese comes from, they would say Stilton.'
The campaign in Stilton has been created by various people and businesses in the village, and fronted by local historian Richard Landy.
He told the Peterborough Evening Telegraph: 'Since first being announced at last year's Stilton Cheese Rolling event, this campaign has continued to gather momentum.
'We have now fulfilled Defra's requirements that we must be making the cheese, which we have been doing since 2011 and that it must be for commercial sale.
'They are the conditions that need to be satisfied before applying for an amendment to the PDO.'
Matthew O'Callaghan, chairman of the Melton Mowbray Food Partnership, disputes whether blue Stilton was ever made in the village of the same name.
A spokesperson for Defra said: 'To amend the geographical boundaries of an existing protected food, an applicant must first prove they are an interested party by showing they genuinely already make it commercially on a permanent, regular basis.
'We would then carefully consider an application and if the claim was justified we would hold a UK-wide public consultation before making any decision.'
Association: Stilton has long enjoyed a link to the famous blue cheese, and even has an annual Stilton cheese rolling event through the village
Landlord Liam McGivern makes a recipe that follows the Stilton recipe, but under EU rules is forced to call it 'Bell Blue'

Guest Post: The Death Spiral Of Debt, Risk And Jobs
Submitted by Charles Hugh Smith from Of Two Minds
The Death Spiral of Debt, Risk and Jobs
Debt, risk and employment are in a death-spiral of malinvestment and debt-based consumption.
Standard-issue financial pundits (SIFPs) and economists look at debt, risk and the job market as separate issues. No wonder they can't make sense of our "jobless recovery": the three are intimately and causally connected. An entire book could be written about debt, risk and jobs, but let's see if we can't shed some light on a complex dynamic in a few paragraphs.
Risk: As I described in Resistance, Revolution, Liberation: A Model for Positive Change, risk cannot be eliminated, it can only be shifted to others or temporarily masked.
Masking risk simply lets it pile up beneath the surface until it brings down the entire system. Transferring it to others is a neat "solution" but when it blows up then those who took the fall are not pleased.
Risk and gain are causally connected: no risk, no gain. The ideal setup is to keep the gain but transfer the risk to others. This was the financial meltdown in a nutshell: the bankers kept their gains and transferred the losses/risk to the taxpayers via the bankers' toadies and apparatchiks in Congress, the White House and the Federal Reserve.
Risk is like the dog that didn't bark. In the story Silver Blaze, Sherlock Holmes calls the police inspector's attention to the fact that a dog did something curious the night in question: it did not bark when it should have.
When scarce capital is misallocated to unproductive uses such as duplicate tests that can be billed to Medicare, sprawling McMansions in the middle of nowhere, etc., "the dog that didn't bark" is this question: what productive uses for that scarce capital have been passed over to squander the scarce capital on Medicare fraud, McMansions, Homeland Security ("Papers, please! No papers? Take him away"), etc.
Once the capital has been squandered, it's gone, and the opportunity to invest it in productive uses has been irrevocably lost.
Debt: Debt has a funny cost called interest. If you have a corrupt, self-serving central bank (a redundancy) that can lower interest rates by printing money to buy government bonds, then this funny thing called interest can be lowered to, say, 1%.
At 1% interest, the government can borrow $100 and only pay 1% in annual interest. That is almost "free," isn't it? The key word here is "almost." If you borrow enough, then that silly 1% can become rather oppressive.
Let's say the Federal Reserve is willing to loan you $100 billion at zero interest. You have an incredible sum of cash to use for speculation, and it doesn't cost anything! Wow, you must be an investment banker....
Now what happens when the interest rate goes from zero to 1%? Yikes, you suddenly owe $1 billion a year in interest. That is some serious change. You can of course pay the interest out of the borrowed $100 billion, unless you've spent it building bridges to nowhere and supporting crony capitalism.
Yes, we're talking about Japan--and Greece, the U.S., China, and every other nation that piled up staggering debts to fund an unproductive Status Quo. If you play this "borrow at low rates" Keynesian game for 20 years, then you end up with a debt that far exceeds your national output (GDP). That funny cost is now so large all your tax receipts generated by your vast economy only cover the interest and your Social Security tab. That's Japan today: all its tax revenues only cover its gargantuan interest on its unimaginably vast debt and Japan's social security outlays. The rest of its government expenses must be borrowed and added to the already monumental debt.
Interest creates a death spiral when the borrowed money was squandered on unproductive bridges to nowhere and consumption.
Jobs: Jobs have an interesting feature called productivity. If you pay me $1 million for a manicure (OK, you're an investment banker and can afford it), that money funds consumption, interest and taxes (presuming I pay taxes, which I might not if I hire the right Wall Street law firm). Once the money is spent on consumption (housing, energy, entertainment, hookers for the Security Guys, etc.), interest and taxes, then it's gone. It cannot be invested in productive assets.
If I invest the $1 million in software and robotics that produce equipment for the natural gas industry, then I will hire a software person to manage the software and technicians to maintain the machines, a few more to transport the raw materials and finished goods, a few more to oversee the accounts, and so on. The $1 million funds a number of jobs that will be permanent if the products being produced meet a real market demand and can be sold at a profit.
The $1 million spent on consumption pays for some labor, but it doesn't create any value. If we track where it went, it ended up in the government coffers as taxes, in the five "too big to fail" banks as interest, and in various agribusiness, food services and energy corporations. A few bucks were distributed as tips and donations.
Now imagine if that $1 million was borrowed. If the $1 million was squandered on consumption, interest and taxes, then it's gone in a short period of time--but the interest remains to be paid forever. If you're an investment banker and the Fed loves you (and of course it does), then you can roll that $1 million into a new $2 million loan. You use some of the $1 million in fresh debt to pay the interest, and then you blow the rest on unproductive consumption.
The causal connection between debt, risk and jobs is now visible. Debt is intrinsically risky because the interest accrues until the debt is paid in full. If the debt will never be paid--for instance, the $14 trillion in Federal debt--then the interest is eternal, or at least until the system implodes and all the debt is renounced.
If the money has been squandered on consumption (marginalized college degrees, medical procedures with minimal or even negative results, $300 million a piece F-35 fighter jets, etc.) then there are two risks: the interest that piles up must be paid, meaning potentially productive investments must be passed over to pay the interest, and productive uses that could have been funded by the borrowed capital have been passed over.
Consumption funds temporary labor, but there is no wealth created or sustainable employment created. When you borrow $100K for a marginal MBA, the money paid some staffers at the Status Quo educrat edifice and some overhead/profit, but when it's gone, the debt remains and the staffers need another debt-serf to fund their pay next semester.
If the borrowed money were actually invested in a marketable product (in our example, equipment for natural gas production), then jobs and wealth are created by the increase in productivity and output created by the enterprise.
What we have instead is a Central State and an economy that has borrowed and squandered trillions of dollars on consumption and malinvestment in unproductive "stranded" assets. The debt and risk pile up, while the labor that results from consumption is temporary and does not create wealth or permanent employment.
Figuratively speaking, we're stranded in a McMansion in the middle of nowhere, a showy malinvestment that produces no wealth or value, and we're wondering how we're going to pay the gargantuan mortgage and student loans.
Debt and the risk generated by rising debt create a death-spiral when the money is squandered on consumption, phantom assets, speculation and malinvestments. Sadly, that systemic misallocation of capital puts the job market in a death spiral, too.

The West has done exactly what it accuses Africa of having done. Taking huge injections of Capital and siphoning it off into sterile offshore bank accounts or into politically driven projects with no real return.
The West has turned into the Third World with its Rotten Elites and corrupt Bankers
The PPT team is at work
PPT team has been busy the last couple days. They have made more saves than an NHL goalie!
+1 nothing more needs to be said
Except that the whole monetary system is a fraud created by money supply rentiers that essentially perched themselves atop the national "roost" and charge everyone else "rent" for living in the country. The flow chart looks like this...
(Note: Keep And Share is a PDF Hosting site - it is just a PDF file containging the flow of "fraud" inherent within our "monetary system")
But it doesn't stop there. The Trojan Horse enforcer of this monetary con game in America, the Federal Reserve System (the system is almost worldwide, though... give them time to bomb everyone who isn't under it already), is also a black letter law criminal.
PLEASE stop reinforcing the "dual mandate" lie everyone. THERE IS NO DUAL MANDATE. Their mandate is singular. The expected results of following that singular mandate have been, in Orwellian fashion, pawned off as the mandate itself so the Trojan Horse could break its mandate and blow the world's largest credit bubble... which will always lead to the worlds largest credit bust... think of it as an "operation."Federal Reserve Act Section 2A. Monetary Policy Objectives
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee shall maintain long run growth of the monetary and credit aggregates commensurate with the economy's long run potential to increase production, so as to promote effectively the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.
[12 USC 225a. As added by act of November 16, 1977 (91 Stat. 1387) and amended by acts of October 27, 1978 (92 Stat. 1897); Aug. 23, 1988 (102 Stat. 1375); and Dec. 27, 2000 (114 Stat. 3028).]
The mandate is in bold and underlined. It IS NOT dual, it is singular.
The reason they lie about the mandate is so they can break it without most people figuring out that they've broken their own law...
BTW, is it even a law if there is no penalty for breaking it? Denninger said he read FinReg and there wasn't one, single, solitary "or else" penalty in the whole thing. I can't verify - but if you don't trust Denninger, you can verify it.
It's all a con gam, an Alladin's lamp of fraud.
There is no way out until we kick out the criminals and change the system.
What is this "rule of law" that you speak of? - John Corzine
I stand corrected +1
SR, No problem - the chit runs so thick it is very, very difficult to keep it all straight. ;-)
I didn't even get into the bankster / government duopoly drug running out of Afghansitan - #1 world producer in heroine and marijuana.
People, 7,700 tons of heroine isn't being exported to Europe on mules under U.S. military radar.
I could go on and on... arming Sinaloa, allowing Sinaloa to bring in tons of cocaine for "information." All the while grandma is being strip searched for "national security" when the government sanctioned drug runners don't get checked.
You knew the banks were involved in this evil...
How a big US bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs
No criminal charges filed and only the whistle blower was forced out.
There's no mention the money was ever recovered, either. The bankster/black ops/CIA cartel isn't giving up their hard earned cash, PROLES!
At this point, the only thing which distinguishes the West from Africa is the crumbling infrastructure built by better men long since gone.
Um, the roads in Windhoek and Cape Town are better than anything the East Coast or MidWest have.
The New York State Thruway is pretty nice. And I highly doubt there exists anywhere on the planet Interstate 80.
The New York State Thruway has a different problem. On a recent drive along there, I stopped at a rest stop to answer an urgent call, but there was a herd of enormous, slow-moving animals waddling between me and the washroom. It was my closest brush with death yet!
Also in West Africa there is lots of crumbling infrastructure from times long gone.
I stayed at a grand old hotel in Axim in 1997 (western region of Ghana), up on the fourth floor, with flush toilets--but there was no water. The girl had to walk over 400 m to collect water and carry it up the stairs to fill the toilet. But at one time, there was hot and cold running water at that hotel.
I saw much the same more recently in Sierra Leone, especially in the country. A nice highway, which has been resurfaced for 100 km or so, but past the end of the repaving, you are down to horse-and-buggy speeds.
Agreed, but the question is one of timing. When does the inefficiency of expended (borrowed) capital manifest into a reaction from Joe/Jill Six Pack of the world? Is it possible we're seeing the beginning of it in Greece, Spain, et al? That is the rejection of "austerity" is just another way of saying to the Central Bank higherarchy, why do we have to pay for it, you spent it too.
If the average person realizes that they are paying back debt of another country that spent it, watch out.
Yea Charles its all screwed.
"If you pay me $1 million for a manicure (OK, you're an investment banker and can afford it), that money funds consumption, interest and taxes (presuming I pay taxes, which I might not if I hire the right Wall Street law firm). Once the money is spent on consumption (housing, energy, entertainment, hookers for the Security Guys, etc.), interest and taxes, then it's gone. It cannot be invested in productive assets."
Has anyone else noticed that CEO pay has skyrocketed the last few decades while worker pay has remained flat? And for some reason our economy is going down the tubes despite the rich rewards being given to the "productive" class. Yet here on ZH and in other places we hear over and over that the problem is that the productive class is being squeezed. Too many taxes, regulations, etc. It all comes down to the fact that trickle down does not work, as explained so well in this article.
I don't think anyone has said that the productive people are getting paid well. Quite the opposite. There is a complete clusterfuck of mispriced assets and malinvested capital. Otherwise productive people can't be productive. Not even if you wanted to be.
Saying that trickle-down doesn't work is silly. Or rather it depends on what you mean by "works." It works great for banks.
Trickle down doesn't work. I guess I'm silly, but it seems to me like we've tried it for the last 40 years and..... Or did you miss the fact that the 400 people in the United States now control more of the nation's wealth than the bottom 50% of the entire country. They are not using it to build factories and create jobs. The bottom 50% of this country is consuming solely through debt, not through wages. That can't last. Trickle down doesn't work.
Time for some Obamenomics trickle up poverty.
Nicely thought out substantive response. Obama is a trickle down economics guy. Prove me wrong. How much money has gone to the bankers and CEO's under his presidency?
"Prove me wrong". Of course they can not do that, because Obama is a Ronald Reagan conservative. Sure Obama talks different than old RR did, but the policies are the same. And aren't the policies what really matter, not the chatter.
I guess I should have put my sarc disclosure in there for you Rand...
So here you go.. This is sarcasm by the way for those of you who can't figure it out... You know who you are.
Now for the truth ... Obama and his counterpart Romney are both New world order tools, nothing more. They are both one in the same.
The bottom 50% are bankrupt because they live a lifestyle that is beyond their means, made easy by TPTB who wish them to be debt slaves (peons) and neither seem to have any issues with the arrangement - yet.
Free market capitalism works. What has been employed as of late is centralized socialism. If that's what you mean by trickle down I agree. The US has created the most innovation in the history of the world in the last 100 yrs or more. When the government and governemnt social programs are down sized to a much much smaller size again we'll see that same innovation create many more jobs and new discoveries. If not we'll continue to flounder.
Capitalism is a phrase coined by Marx. Let's just call it the free market. Then, please tell me where in the hell a free market has existed on the globe in the last 80 years? USA, USA, USA. Now I have a bridged I'd like to sell you. Don't get me wrong as I believe in free markets and would love to see and participate in one but we have not enjoyed anything close since Wilson came along.
Capitalism is much more than a free market, see, that's why the word exists.
There are free markets all over the world, but they're just a necessary component. You also need contract enforcement mechanisms, even-handed adjudication of disputes, and a clearing-system for virtual/synthetic commodities.
And where are those free markets?
Back alleys and online games, mostly.
...and that ain't rain water doing the tricklin', either, no matter what they say.
In theory (assuming the kleptocracy crime syndicate didn't have the nation by the throat with their fraudulent societal asset stripping monetaary "torture rack" system), "trickle down" works when demand is high and supply is low. "Trickle up" would work when supply is high and demand is low.
The reason you only heard about "trickle down" is because those "above" you and I simply wanted to control the money that is necessary for society to pay back its debts.
When they control the money, they can then bankrupt the nation and take it into receivorship - which is the plan. The feudal lords...
They don't want to serf guff, either. Just shut up and know your place or else you will get some re-education in this here Banker Federalist State of America.
Debt Money Tyranny
Yes, The Re-Education Camp Manual Does Apply Domestically to U.S. Citizens
Re-Education Camp Manual Includes Rules On Isolating Political Prisoners
You're being a pussy, gay, communist, fascist joo.
/fucking sarcasm off
...and "tits"... (Bertie)
Laissez-faire and egalitarianism are not contradictions you silly.
Are you operating under the premise that only CEO's can comprise said "productive class?"
Quite the opposite, but in practice the CEOs get all the money don't they. In my view, the productive class is the middle class. But that makes me a Commie or worse, I think.
LetThemEatRand read half of Atlas Shrugged, and didn't understand the difference between the characters of Dagney Taggart and James Taggart. Or Dagney and Wesley Mouch, for that matter.
As such, he totally fails to understand that the vast majority of CEOs of large, government favored companies got their due to their influence and pull, not because of their ability to produce. They are not the productive class. The productive class is largely gone. His continuing failure to understand this has lead to intense bitterness regarding economic freedom.
Do you have an altar of Rand at your home? Do you really believe that all of the complexities of our economy and what is wrong with it can be defined by her simplistic thinking? How do you explain that every single Rand offspring such as Alan Greespan becomes completely corrupt in practice? Never mind, it's like trying to convince any religious zealot that they are wrong.
How do you explain that every single Rand offspring such as Alan Greespan becomes completely corrupt in practice?
I want to hear this, too.
It can't be difficult to explain where it goes wrong. The average high-school kid is able to read and understand the books.
By the way, have you ever considered that Rand is actually a demonic figure? I'm not a very religious person, but the coincidences are striking. Let's compare the philosophies of the traditional Satan character with Rand:
1) selfishness is good. Check.
2) the poor can go fuck themselves. Check.
3) wealth accumulation is an end onto itself and a worthy goal of one's entire life. Check.
4) helping others is not only unnecessary, but actually a bad thing. Check.
5) altruism is a bad thing. Check
6) the higher good is the happiness of the individual, even at the expense of other individuals. Check.
In your idiotic and rabid mischaracterization of the philosophy of Ayn Rand (which you evidently learned from skimming a letter to the editor of The Nation), you demonstrate not only a gross dishonesty and a hysterically irrational hatred, but actual "Rand Derangement Syndrome".
Get help.
Ok, lets turn this around:
1) the slightest bit of selfishness is the worst crime possible and has to be punished harshly
2) the rich are to be fucked by everybone else
3) wealth destruction is an end onto itself and a worthy goal of one's entire life
4) helping others without limits is absolutely necessary, and nothing bad will come out of it
5) any amount of altruism is a good thing
6) the higher good is the happiness of society, even at the expense of single individuals
So you want to live in such a place, LTER?
You do realize that "Malek" is the Arabic guardian angel of hell, don't you? Maybe I'm on to something....
As such, he totally fails to understand that the vast majority of CEOs of large, government favored companies got their due to their influence and pull, not because of their ability to produce. They are not the productive class.
Made me laugh. But influence and pull have to be produced. You have to work for this kind of things.
Extorting the weak, farming the poor is work. It is production.
It would appear that a great many things make you laugh.
Too bad there evidently isn't anything that can make you make any sense, or that can stifle your virulently anti-American bigotry and blind and sweeping collectivist hatred of EVERY American for the crimes of a few at the top.
What is that? You cant answer to this question.
'Americanism' being what it is, please explain how collectivistic it is to develop the required actions as guided by 'Americanism'
Is it collectivistic to tell that Christians believe in one god?
If yes, how?
As to the austitic point, while you have proven so far unable to deal with any argument provided,I am pretty aware of the surroundings.
Projection is such a US citizen thing.
What is that? You cant answer to this question.
I have in fact addressed that exact point over and over in my many challenges to the evil bigoted bile that you spew against EVERY American, and for which you explicitly deride each and every resident of the USA for the crimes of a tiny sociopathic elite (just as your nation of China is controlled by a tiny sociopathic elite), but you adamantly refuse, in your cowardice and blind prejudice, to ever acknowledge it.
Your simplistic and childishly hate-filled thinking is yes, collectivist, by the simple act of condemning EVERY American for the actions of a small minority, our rulers. Does it not even impinge to the slightest degree on your woefully limited intellect that millions of us "US citizens" are fighting AGAINST that sociopathic ruling elite in almost every way we can, and that millions of us similarly deny and mock the self-serving nationalistic propaganda of "American exceptionalism" and all the rest of that kind of bullshit? But you glibly lump the victims in with the criminals as all equally guilty --- THAT is being collectivist.
EDIT: As expected, nothing but a chorus of Chinese crickets in response to a direct challenge to this maliciously prejudiced troll.
Chinese citizenism offuscationism subterfuge and treachery have predictability like the sunrise.
Denial being the primary characteristic of Chinese citizenism, and is always the step one of Chinese citizenism offuscationism.
Very can kicking, which is the path pointed to follow by all Chinese citizenism road signs.
Running dog ignoration is always the step two of Chinese citizenism offuscationism. Again, following the Chinese citizenism traditional path of can kicking.
