    Donald Trump reads... 'The Snake'...



    Understand why he used it... fits in with one of his policies.

    Quite interesting lyrics though... so did a search to find out more on the origin...
    I came here (Wikipedia) - yea, it's a fairly good source for such info...
    The Snake (Al Wilson song) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snake_(Al_Wilson_song))

    Which then lead me here (quite a good song)...



    Looking at the comments section of the above video & you'll be surprised how many other people found their way to the YouTube page as a result of Trump's use of the lyrics (& other related videos on 'The Snake'). A new generation discovers Al Wilson... thanks to Trump (or should that be Donald Trump or Mr Trump... in relation to a previous petty issue here on Pod. Arena).

    On another note. If you're going to disagree or criticise Trump (or anybody... or anything for that matter), then for crying out load - HAVE A REASON FOR DOING SO (better still, also have some evidence to back it up)! Otherwise you just look like a real idiot (or "not coherent"... was one explanation) - like those "lefty loonies" (we've unfortunately got plenty of these morons in Australia as well)...

    David Webb interviews some humans... where we see clear evidence (once again) of genetic entropy at play (some affected more than others) ...



    I do feel sorry for America (I really do)... I suppose I should also include the world in this view - not wanting to invoke some conspiracy theory mind you (i.e. "New World Order"/"Global Agenda"). Out of potential candidates from their 320 million (about 12 times the population of Australia), the people may well be faced with the following choice/decision... & many just don't like it...

    [​IMG]

    Then again... who really does run the (White House) show anyway? [oops, that's a loaded question]

    Hey, not that I (or Australia) can boast - our current leaders are spineless... blunt tools... ah, never mind. Australia will be having a federal election this year (so I sympathise... I really do :empathy:).

    Really, you really believe that - Oh Yeah ?18 trillion in debt and rising - that's US capitalism in action. The rich, the institutions and the mega-corporations build false economies by recycling debt in apparent (and fraudulent) packages of high % investment return opportunities creating huge debt that cannot be serviced and when they go broke the government takes money from the tax payer to refloat the sinking ships so they can start the same scam all over again and the poorest people at the bottom of the investment pyramid pay with their jobs and houses and lives. The Federal bank that is supposed to look after the 'people's' interest actually look after their shareholders interests first. That is the history of US fiscal practices over the last 150 years and everyone who is anyone is willing to allow it to perpetuate because this is our 'wonderful system' and continue to be blind because they refuse to see. That's why Americans live in fear because they are actually slaves, each one bought and paid for by the Chinese and other eastern economies.
    That's why Trump gets votes because he appeals to this fear - he's gonna be the one by any method required to turn the tables and set Americans free and the ones who live in most fear, the ones with the most prejudice lap it up. Look at history, this is the genesis of despots and tyrants across the world and eventually all they do is take their citizens into depravity and death.
     
  6. the Federal Reserve doesn't have shareholders as such - it is wholly owned by Rothschilds, who also own and operate all the central banks, with the exception of North Korea, Iran and Syria. Fifteen years ago you could add Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya to that list. People assume that because it has 'Federal' in its title, it must be part of government or belong to the people; it isn't and it most certainly doesn't! Just like the Bank of England, it is a very private institution and its structure is and remains extremely secretive.

    I've met Trump once, even enjoyed lunch with him in the company of his wife Ivana, in their Plaza Hotel in NY. He was a charming, entertaining and generous host - and intuitive businessman. I'm not sure we share the same philosophy on life, but we do share the same trait of sometimes rubbing people up the wrong way - only he doesn't give a sh!t.

    What I do find repugnant is the propaganda spewed out by the media - the Boston Globe headline is a good example - and as a general rule about almost everything; if the media and the authorities tell you to do something - make sure you do the exact opposite!

    I stand by those words....and yes, it's very expensive guarding the free world, so they can avoid using their own money to fortify and protect their own citizens. Who contributes the most to NATO? How many years has the US had bases in Europe? How many years have we had +30K troops on the 39th parallel. How many US dollars, given by our own taxpayers, goes to other countries?

    If one takes the time to explore our debt, (BTW...now over $19T), one can see that a majority of it is involved in paying for liberal/progressive/socialist policies rammed down America's throat by the left and far left here. I suggest that if you're truly interested in engaging me on this topic, then read more...post less. Hope it helps.

    America looks after its own interests and no-one elses. and your government and institutions only care about power and cash not people, not even their own people.

    Try reading this book by Jennifer Taub 'Other Peoples Houses'

    In the wake of the financial meltdown in 2008, many claimed that it had been inevitable, that no one saw it coming, and that subprime borrowers were to blame. This accessible, thoroughly researched book is Jennifer Taub's response to such unfounded claims. Drawing on wide-ranging experience as a corporate lawyer, investment firm counsel, and scholar of business law and financial market regulation, Taub chronicles how government officials helped bankers inflate the toxic-mortgage-backed housing bubble, then after the bubble burst ignored the plight of millions of homeowners suddenly facing foreclosure.

    Focusing new light on the similarities between the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s and the financial crisis in 2008, Taub reveals that in both cases the same reckless banks, operating under different names, failed again, while the same lax regulators overlooked fraud and abuse. Furthermore, in 2014 the situation is essentially unchanged. The author asserts that the 2008 crisis was not just similar to the S&L scandal, it was a severe relapse of the same underlying disease. And despite modest regulatory reforms, the disease remains uncured: top banks remain too big to manage, too big to regulate, too big to prosecute, and too big to fail.

    What do you think about this attached comment from
    Joseph Stiglitz: Why we have to change capitalism
    In an exclusive extract from his new book, Freefall, the former World Bank chief economist, reveals why banks should be split up and why the West must cut consumption.

    Oh, Please! Without discussing in detail the efforts in WWI and II by our soldiers, particularly on June 6, 1944, I'll leave your comments to others to pick apart, because it's not worth my time.

    As far as the mortgage crisis is concerned, I've done EXTENSIVE research on this very topic, so I have probably forgotten more than you'll ever know. I even wrote about it:

    http://drhunt1.blogspot.com/2011/02/articles-of-impeachment.html

    While some of the links may no longer redirect you...they did 5 years ago...I suggest you explore the content of what I wrote.

    I also suggest you read the CRA amendment to the GLB Bill that was written by Schumer and Dodd, (under threat of veto by Bill Clinton, if the amendment wasn't added), which started us down the road to perdition. I have provided you with an initial link to begin this investigation:

    http://www.banking.senate.gov/conf/grmleach.htm

    Bush 43, then SoT, John Snow, and many Republicans in the House knew about the troubles that were inherent in the GSE's. Even Armando Falcon, then head of OFHEO, testified to this in front of the House Cmte that was in charge of GSE oversight. The Dems were in the majority and the testimony fell on their deaf ears. They wanted to protect and shield "their baby"...and discounted the sweeping and massive oversight changes that Bush 43 sent to Congress in 2002.

    Like I wrote above...I have performed my due diligence on this subject. And you?

    Lloyd Blankfein, longtime CEO of Goldman Sachs, ....... in a 2012 segment on “60 Minutes,” said, “You’re going to have to undoubtedly do something to lower people’s expectations” that they will get their full Social Security and Medicare benefits because “we can’t afford it.” Blankfein advocated an increase in the eligibility age for both programs as well as other cuts because “entitlements have to be slowed down and contained.”

    Bernie Sanders said … "During the financial crisis Goldman Sachs received a total of $814 billion in virtually zero-interest loans from the Federal Reserve and a $10 billion bailout from the Treasury Department."

    Probably THE only noteworthy vote Bernie had was against the bailout. Thomas Jefferson and many of the anti-federalist crowd warned us against the Banks and Bankers. This was ignored in 1913 by the Father of the Progressive Movement, Woodrow Wilson, here in the US when he signed the Federal Reserve Act. He later apologized for his brain lapse, (thanks, Woodie!)...but much too late.

    Further, it was SoT Hank Paulson, (of Goldman-Sachs fame), that convinced Bush 43 to hold an emergency Joint Sessions of Congress to appropriate $700B to pay off the toxic debt. The truth was, that amount wouldn't even pay the interest of the bad loans, (NINJA loans), that had then been cut up, re-bundled and sold world-wide as MBS. It was a total mess...and a lie by Paulson to Bush 43. All of it was avoidable if Congress had done their job and delivered oversight to the Democrats' "babies"...the CRA and the GSE's. FWIW...FDR created Fannie Mae. The road to perdition is lined with good intentions...and I'm giving the liberals/socialists a LOT of leeway.
     
  18. Goldman Sachs aggressively sold sub-prime packages to investors as a first class product, while at the same time laying equally aggressive bets that those packages would fail. That is not my analysis; it is one of the things they have admitted as part of the deal in the United States that means that, in return for a 5 billion dollar fine, yet again no corrupt and fraudulent bankers are going to jail.

    The ultimate irony is that the 5 billion dollar fine is dwarfed by the 13 billion dollar taxpayer bailout they received after the banks? immoral antics caused massive economic collapse. So the net result of their appalling behaviour has been that they collect not only the profit from those bets the system would collapse, but an eight billion dollar net payment from ordinary taxpayers thrown in. Which eight billion dollars has been just a contribution to the bonuses and partner remuneration which have continued to bulge in their over-stuffed pockets since 2008, uninterrupted by the crash, thanks to the generosity of poor taxpayers struggling to balance their personal budgets.

    This is a description of the position of Goldman Sachs in the United States, but it sums up the entire banking crisis worldwide and its result in the punishment of entirely the wrong people, and the continued rewards enjoyed by the crooks.

    Due to new media public awareness of what is happening is growing, as is the desire for popular resistance to the super-rich. But they are not surrendering control any time soon. Which is why the call for Clinton to release the transcripts of the extravagantly paid talks she gave to Goldman Sachs is more than a question of political openness. It goes to the heart of the rot in the system.

    Well... we're getting mighty close now... U.S election just a couple of days away (8/11/16 - that's day/month/year - the logical chronological way of writing a date - I wonder if the new president could implement a change to this more logical date recording ;)).

    Anyway, I've only been interested in politics for a couple of years (forced to due to the amount of rubbish there is within the political arena)... hence, also haven't much history with U.S politics. That said, I (personally) can't recall where both candidates have attracted so much despisement. Out of the population of 319 million this is what you (we) are left with to decide upon :eek: or be potentially affected by (non-U.S citizens). It really is a concern. Is it any wonder there are signs (or is it memes) like the following popping up...

    [​IMG]

    ... even angry puss has got involved...

    [​IMG]
    ... or there's this variety...

    [​IMG]

    With the above in mind... I think Trump is the lessor of two 'evils'... & people will vote for him due to the state of the world we currently live in... & when issues aren't addressed properly (i.e. due to spineless leadership)... people resort to decisions of which they may not have considered in the past (history has shown us this).

    This guy makes some valid points...



    Yes, "good luck... I think we all are going to need it"!
     
  22. Yes he does, but he is describing rejection and dissatisfaction of the system rather than just the political class and that is what makes the future especially bleak as that is a change that will require much more than the ballot box to achieve. And it will be difficult; most people recognise the failings and corruption of governments across the world and their masters - the secretive financial and military-industrial complex. But they also recognise, to a degree at least, that their own lives are inextricably intertwined into the very same system they identify as being corrupt. It's easier to turn away when you have everything to lose and can't think of an alternative. The paradox of our times. It is a pervasive mindset - consider the response from renown specialists in podiatric biomechanics, physics and engineering with the 9/11 thread. In a rational world such a topic would generate much discussion - scientific and political, given the evidence and implications. But it's easier not to think or talk about it as it threatens the existing order and its system. Somehow, I don't think voting for Trump or Brexit will displace the real power in the world, not by a long way, but someday, somehow, humanity will have to face up to that challenge if we are to create a better place for all, rather than just a chosen few.

    If Trump wins, it will be a game-changer for sure. Just don't expect any contrition, olive branches are imaginary commodities these days.
     
  23. Well, there you go. The problem Trump (or any other leader) has to face is that the real power lies with those that control the money supply - the unknown, unelected individuals who operate globally and are not constrained by borders or territorial laws.The New World Order is already here - it's been in power for hundreds of years and one country will pose little threat - even if it is the USA - to its control.

    The American people understand the necessity of confronting the global financial hegemony and taking back control of the money supply . Unfortunately, the elite are well aware of the challenge and risks and willl have already set in place measures to deal with it. Just like the last President who tried to take back control from the bankers, Trump will follow the same road as JFK and will be bought off, set up to fail spectacularly - or he'll be neutralised another way.

    The 'system' must be preserved at any cost.

    The better candidate has won (& easily). The people have spoken (& decisively)... one of the reasons for this result is due to an increasing number of people getting sick & tired of this social justice, Left-wing globalist agenda; as well as becoming more & more contemptuous of the cancer of political correctness (which has stifled freedom of speech & objective assessment). The Left-wing tactics of “identity politics” has failed - it is moronic & superficial… it is contradictory, destructive & divisive (pitting people/groups against each other). Your skin colour, sexuality, race, religion, gender should not determine set social & political views – one should not (thoughtlessly) succumb to being pigeon-holed via mindlessly following the ‘criteria’ set by these idiots. Think for yourself – go where the evidence leads - & don’t be afraid to go there… & stand up for it!

    The other problem here (which I won't delve into) is what Mark has touched on above (who some may refer to as the Illuminate)... I think it's a bigger problem/obstacle than the one I highlighted above (albeit, related to each other). I wish President Trump the best of luck... he's certainly going to need it.

    Anyway, I think we're in for some interesting times ahead (to say the least)...
    ... & I really want to see that @#$%!^* (Mexican border) wall built - that would be hilarious! ;)

    Hey Mike Weber - you're a evident moron (based on the above baseless inflammatory response). Where's your evidence for such an accusation? Do you know what the word means... or you just fling such inflammatory accusations around at people who (possibly) hold a different opinion to yours?! Or because you're unable to comprehend the above dialogue (& context thereof).

    Oh, the @#$%!^ irony...

Or because you're unable to comprehend the above dialogue (& context thereof).

    Read the previous posts on this thread!

    As I thought Mike - you really are an idiot. As I suspected (& stated) above - "unable to comprehend the above dialogue & context thereof". Or maybe you're just bias to my opinion.

    So you base your inflammatory accusation on my reference to the wall... the wall that most people found to be a bizarre proposition (including myself)... I posted a picture of a bloody big wall - a bloody big PINK wall, with American flags aligned on top... & you still can't grasp the context of the dialogue & the associated picture?!

    Do you have a sense of humour Mike? Or are you going to act all precious on me & tell me that I am a "bigot" for highlighting one of the bizarrist political policy titbits in political history.

    And NO - "laughing about building a wall" is not "Hostile"! Particularly... "in the context of why Trump said he will build a Wall". That context being, to primarily stop drug trafficking (are you aware what drugs do to people, families & the community Mike?); stop people trafficking; stop illegal immigration... & the associated crimes that has come from that. I have lived in that part of the world Mike (for a short period)... with a family that is fully aware of the issues stemming from such illegal border crossings! I suggest you look into it more closely, as to why such a bizarre statement/pledge was made... a statement/pledge mind you that does not have intent to harm... but potentially save many lives - not just Americans - but Mexicans as well!

    Now based on the unfounded accusations & the direction of the dialogue towards my reference to that Wall... & the issues surrounding the intentions for such a bizarre political pledge... the following video (one of many) is submitted to highlight the many dangerous issues & social complications (let alone financial burden) pertaining to the Mexican border patrol... protection of which is needed - & it's pretty damn obvious!



    Yea right - no evidence, no logic, no reason... characteristics of which remind me of... aaahh - forget about it :confused:

  33. Not too happy this AM with the election results. But, the United States of America is a very strong country, filled with very many good people of incredible diversity, that will continue to be a great country to live in...even with President Trump. I am cautiously hopeful.
     
  34. Just seen Rudy Giuliani comparing Trump with Andrew Jackson and proclaiming his victory was the greatest revolt against the political class the world has ever seen. Giuliani!!! After 9/11 he should be hung.
     
  35. I should think the Punk Rock Opera, Green Day's "American Idiot" might be more fitting at this time than Pink Floyd's prog rock- The Wall.
     


  36. Also to be true Its the end of the world as we know it

    Times have changed
     
  37. Lenny Bruce was not afraid; Bill Hicks ripped them all a new arse-hole... the problem is, the best option for comedy coming out of America right now is their president (elect). Time I had some time alone.. Reckon he'll be assassinated, America is over-due for an attempt on their presidents life... will probably just be impeached though, within the next few months...
