First, a little history. 1929. June. Things were “roaring.” And what happened four months later? What made it happen, to be more precise?

You can hypothesize about the Federal Reserve’s role, the conspiracies of Bernard Baruch, the plungers and short sellers, and the speculation in which you only had to put 10% down to own stock.But what does it really matter?

What is happening today is worse. Much worse. And none of us know the 10% of it. 2009, exactly 80 years from the start of the Great Depression, will be a very bad year, indeed. Very bad.

Before I continue, a short aside. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the Fed, the fiat, the debt, or the wars, because there ain’t a damn thing you can do about it. Obama, Hillary, McCain. Fuck ‘em. They don’t have the answers.

I don’t support Ron Paul, and I am not going to push the SPP / Amero fear. But here is the truth:If you have an IRA or pension fund, prepare for it to be halved. If you have cash liquid, prepare for it to be inflationed to about 80 cents on the dollar. If you own property, sell it. Your Naples, Florida condo on the water won’t be worth spit in Dick Cheney’s undershorts.

There is a reason that the “vice” put almost all of his holdings in Euro-bonds a year ago. Look it up. Now.

This shit isn’t just ramblings of paranoia or the cobbled together thoughts of some guy who sees the sky falling. The banks want it to happen, and they will make it happen. And it is happening. Do you think that they really just blindly sold loans to everyone under a bridge for short term profit - not knowing that there will be massive defaults creating a wave of panic - as the foreign owners of these AAA rated crapsandwiches scramble to find value in the baskets of feces they now hold? Well, maybe.

But I don’t buy it.Very simply put: Starting with Reagan, deregulation and free-market bullshit was sold to Americans as patriotic anti-Communistic ways to escape the stranglehold the liberals had on business and government. Business should be free to make money, right? The market finds its own levels and regulates itself. Fuck that.

They get welfare, buy outs, future promises, and you get jack, Jack.Remember the Savings and Loan scandal? Well, anyone? The same shit, times 100. All of this is the largest scam on the planet, and no one seems to care. They took Spitzer down three weeks after his Washington Post article explaining this. And anyone else that stands in their way, look out.The obscure OCC office that has been around since the 19th century has now been put under the umbrella of the executive branch along with the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, the department of Education…

Its duty was to watch the banks. To charter, regulate, and supervise all national banks and the federal branches and agencies of foreign banks in the United States.Now, over the term of GWB, it has squashed states rights to oversee credit card regulation, fraud protection, and banking oversight. The Attorneys General in each state have been forced to submit and pay fealty or get ousted, the Rovian way. They Spiegelman you, and you are done.

They don’t want a true middle class. The middle class is annoying, and gets in the way. Ideally, they want a barely functional, undereducated group of ever-growing consumers that will eat, fuck, drink, shit and piss the Chinese products that the multi-national corporations profit from greatly.

As long as we don’t get all worked up like the Russians in 1905, they are sitting pretty. Keep us busy, distracted and entertained to death, and they will continue to rape the treasury, print money, and manipulate interest rates to keep you just on the brink, but not over the edge to rebellion. That is the game. And who is they? Who cares. It is what they are doing.

They are so brazen, the “vice” actually said, when asked what he thinks about the majority of American’s that oppose the war in Iraq, “So?” So, indeed.

Be prepared for a 2009 with large homeless populations in major cities, crime rates to go up from people just desperate to eat, and more and more walling off of our ability to protest, complain or do anything about it. Posse Comitatus gone? Excellent. Mexican and Eastern Europeans being conscripted to our forces in exchange for citizenship? Perfect. No Habeas Corpus? Damn, we’re good!

Comparisons of Bush to Hoover are insulting to the heirs of Hoover. Idiot free marketer that he was, he was also disputably the most intelligent of the presidential lot to date. Their only similarity is “BushVilles” and “GeorgeTowns” that will be dotting the landscape. Have a good 2008, and buy gold or something as the hosts on Air America implore you to do now that it is about $1000. Here it comes.

Look, you can parse words, vet dialogue, obsess with the minutiae, micro manage commercials and messages, put on the bacon and fry it up in a pan… but the truth is, John McCain will be the next president of the United States (if the situation as it currently stands domestically and internationally is the same in early November.)

Hillary Clinton does not have an iceball’s chance in David Vitter’s colon of being the president in 2009. She will not be standing on that cold late January morning with her hand on the bible.

Obama will be torn asunder by the media as the tools at MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC, and of course CNN, will take the FOX line and tread water with them as the most rediculous items are floated out there to give you a “shadow of a doubt.” By October, some of you will have left the wagon because you think that he might have known a guy that once worked with a dude that emailed some chick once that said she saw Obama put a stamp on a letter upside down. Well, there you go.

Obamaniacs: Stop grinning and gloating, it ain’t over yet.

Hillaryites: Stop making up defenses, and pretending that she has more experience.

The truth is, America is way behind the world in many things. One, cell phone technology and wireless transmissions. Two, accepting that naked people are actually OK to look at, instead of to recoil from and make laws to stop others from looking, because you feel ashamed. Three, math. Four, women as leaders. Five, black guys as leaders. We are way behind. Hell, a guy named Fujimori was the leader of Chile. Fujimori!

Obama is a Muslim. Hillary is a dyke. Listen to Fox. They know. A Muslim head of state will invite in the taliban to eat your children after they waterboard them back behind your above ground pool. A lesbian would try and force 2 year old girls into kissing vaginas in Oklahoma. Really. I know this. I see it on the TV.

The mere fact that George W. Bush was re-elected tells me I am right. This is John McCain’s last stand. He is surrounded by the Apaches and Geronimo has the angle. If he doesn’t strike now, he will be destroyed. Or, he can hold the fort until Jeb gets shit together next year and wheels out James Baker III again. Hell, Jim has nothing else to do. The Carlyle Group went bankrupt this week. Holy fucking shit. I will say it again, the Carlyle Group went bankrupt!

You don’t think the feces is already off the blades and against three of the four walls? Spitzer was going to out the 200 billion (Billion!) Bernanke bail of banks from your fed-printed fiat “tax dollars.” While they get to keep your house and land. No bail out for you, dark-skinned ones, just cause you are too stupid to know that a 4% loan turns into a 9% loan in two years, even though your lender “promised” you it would not. There is a word worse than predatory. I am sure you can think of it. Assholism, for one, comes to mind. Dickheaddery, another.

Carlyle filed. And will get bailed. You, live in your Hyundai. Tough shit, sucker. And McCain has admitted he doesn’t know jack about economics. So, welcome, come on in. Neither does anyone else in the NeoConJobist elite, unless you believe in the proven wrong Chicago Boys Milty Friedman school of “free” marketism. Yea, that has worked out well for Haiti, Chile, the continent of Africa…

John McCain will win for one and only one reason. He foments the same fear that GWB’s boys do. The non-existent Al-Quaedaia wants to come over here and cook Tyler and Allison into kabobs. And it works. Make the tax cuts permanent and toss another $300 to each American, and they will suck it up like manna. The kind from heaven, not the place where the islamofascists go. Icky!

It is unconscionable that right now as you read this, nationally, John McCain is about even within the acceptable area of dispute with polls, with both Billary (always cracks me up) and Irack Hussain Osama. As P.J. O’Rourke said once, back in the 80’s when he was funny: “What the fuck? What the fucking fuck?”

John McCain will be the next president of the United States, even if he has to hire some Mossad guys to dress up again like arabs and cruise the Gulf of Oman babbling about boom boom. Or, say that he is afraid that if we don’t vote for him, he thinks that the bogieman will do a bad thing that will make you cry, and you won’t like that. But, he has already played that card.

Welcome to the False Flag. It is only beginning.

- Todd Grove

UPDATE: REALLY LATE - I was wrong. Initially, I was glad. But, not so sure 12/17/09. I don’t wish he had won, given the real bribery on the left and right, but, this is a debacle. Obama is not left wing socialist. He is a Wall Street hooker.
