LOL @ French Workers

I read an article today about French workers striking because the government is going to raise the retirement age to 60. Here's the link.

The strongest economy in Europe right now is Germany, with a retirement age of 65, rising to 66 this year. The weakest economy in Europe is Greece, with a retirement age of 55.

Greece is being forced to put forward significant cut-backs to balance their budget, while traveling around the world hat in hand begging for money. One of the countries they are forced to beg from is Germany.

If I was a French worker, I would be looking around right now and asking myself, would I prefer to live in Germany, or Greece?

Their actions strongly suggest they would like France to turn into another Greece, though any logical analysis would suggest they'd be better mimicking the Germans.

These people are absolutely loony.

With the collapse of Greece; the soon collapse of Spain and Portugal; and a French neighbor with an ignorant populace unwilling to face necessary changes; you would think at some point the Germans would be asking themselves, why are we part of this pathetic union?

US Government Green-Lighted Risky Drilling In the Gulf for...

...drum-roll please...WAR.

From www.oilprice.com:

According to the Wayne Madsen Report (WMR) sources within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Pentagon and Interior and Energy Departments told the Obama Administration that the newly-discovered estimated 3-4 billion barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico would cover America's oil needs for up to eight months if there was a military attack on Iran that resulted in the bottling up of the Strait of Hormuz to oil tanker traffic, resulting in a cut-off of oil to the United States from the Persian Gulf.

Obama, Salazar, Chu, and Gates green-lighted the risky Macondo drilling operation from the outset, according to WMR's government sources.

WMR learned that BP was able to have several safety checks waved because of the high-level interest by the White House and Pentagon in tapping the Gulf of Mexico bonanza find in order to plan a military attack on Iran without having to be concerned about an oil and natural gas shortage from the Persian Gulf after an outbreak of hostilities with Iran.

Can someone tell me again how this is the fault of capitalism?

Can anyone think of another time in history where BP, the UK, and the US conspired together to gain control of Iran?

I can.

This oil spill is the result of greed: greedy government officials who think the United States government deserves all that it can steal.

The $1 Billion Police State In Toronto.

From June 26 - 27 the G20 is coming to Toronto. This event is costing the taxpayers of Canada $1 billion in security costs. Why does security for the G20 cost $1 billion? Because that's the price of a police state for 2 days in the center of the busiest city in Canada.

What is occurring in Toronto today is a stain on our country (that we allow it to occur) and a stain on our esteemed world leaders (that they are so insecure about their legitimacy that they must shut down entire cities where ever they go).

The Globe and Mail wrote a piece that provides some insight into what life in Toronto is like right now:

The proliferation of police, amid a marked decline in the number of office workers on the streets, certainly made an impression on Jeffrey Arbuckle as he ran a lunch-hour errand on Monday.

In an effort to liven up the porch of his television production studio near the security zone, Mr. Arbuckle had picked up a five-kilogram sack of potting soil. He was walking when two plain SUVs carrying eight police officers in tactical gear pulled up. They wanted to know what was in the bag.

While one officer checked his identification, another inspected the dirt and a third conveyed their concern: that he might be hauling fertilizer to a bomb-making lab.

After 10 minutes, Mr. Arbuckle got his dirt back, along with a warning that anyone in the area could expect similar scrutiny for the rest of the week.

“The cops have been nice so far, but it really feels like a war zone,” Jian Ghomeshi, a CBC Radio host, said outside the national broadcaster's headquarters, across the street from the convention centre where the leaders will meet. As if on cue, a pair of military helicopters chuffed overhead. Moments later, a blue wave of police officers washed around Mr. Ghomeshi on the sidewalk.

Just remember, at a time where our economy is weak and our deficit is large, we're spending $1 billion on this foolishness, which doesn't even factor in the lost business revenues for any business located in downtown Toronto. But who cares about them? Role out the red carpet, blast the trumpets, and bow down: our ruling class has arrived.

End The Fed Song

LYRICS:

'End the Fed'

Human greed is the monster that we cannot seem to kill
It drives evil people to impose their evil will
Ever since the beginning it has been the same way
Michael and his angels against the demons of today

Now the Federal Reserve Bank is the monster's secret lair
It hides behind the government and no one knows it's there
Presidents they come and go but the fed remains the same
Only truth can slay this demon and expose this evil game

Time to rise up
Join the revolution
End the fed
End the fed
The sacred armour of the constitution
Will protect us in our battle for the truth

The main reason you can't pay your bills is the federal reserve
A brotherhood of bankers who control the entire world
They say they're here to help us but that's always been a lie
Now they're bringing down America
While Americans stand by

The founding fathers are rolling in their graves
I guarantee they are
They just would not believe
How we the people can let these things go on
Right under our noses for so long

Time to rise up
Join the revolution
End the fed
End the fed
The sacred armour of the constitution
Will protect us in our battle for the truth
