Re: See US politics From another angle .

Prepare the justification for a rigging election (3/24/08)

Bush was awarded the president of US in 2000. Even Clinton did a good job in his term. There was a historical surplus when Bill left the White House. Yet the Inside Group gave the seat to Bush. Because what they needed was a soulless puppet who willingly to satisfy citizens' lives for Mid-east war. (he activated false flag 911 attack)

Bush was awarded the President of US again in 2004. Because he was proved an obedient puppet. And the Group needed more war - war on Iran. Even he was known as a big swindler whom lied into Iraq war.
How could this happen? Because Feds controls election office. They rigged election to select any candidate who is their favorite. The rest work is left for media which issued fake poll to convince public the election was a fair one.

Of course, they need some justification. No matter how reluctant it was. One trick is to creat a spoiler.
In previous two election. That figure was Ralph Nader.

To comfort voters in a rigged election, Feds made each election a closed competition. You almost won, with only a little margin you failed. There was someone to blame - the spoiler - he took away the votes Demo needed.

For the third time, the old tactic will be used again. But is this trick too old to cheat public? I think of Ron Paul. Ron Paul might be another product of the Feds used to replace Ralph Nader. Only Bush is so notorious that when Paul has his policy to the public, there was a crazy wave for Ron Paul. Feds is frightened. So they go back to Nader.

I think so is because although there is a crazy movement for Paul, the media and election office did their best to oppress the movement. They try to limit it a small one as Nader's. Feds need a justification of rigged election but not a big one to threat the result. Also Ron Paul and his campaign aids never care for a real victory. When there was trace that the primary was rigged, Paul's team didn't seriously care. They know what their role is in this campaign. That finally makes this election another puppet show.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

That still doesn't explain a lack of solutions to our socio-economic problems by the candidates. Even the PCIG must know that everyone can still make money with a welfare-state economic model. Solving for official poverty would raise the average standard of living for every market participant in the US. A warfare-state economic does not raise the average standard of living or provide for the general Welfare of the United States.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

Bush, the worst president

The question is how could this worst president in US history be elected twice?

It is because this country is a covert totalitarian country. The system is controled by Feds. They selected president by rigged election, and justify it by fake poll of media.

Quote, "By Susan Page

<http://www.usatoday.com/community/tags/reporter.aspx?id=602>, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON - President Bush has set a record he'd presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll.

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, 28% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing; 69% disapprove. The approval rating matches the low point of his presidency, and the disapproval sets a new high for any president since Franklin Roosevelt.

The previous record of 67% was reached by Harry Truman in January 1952, when the United States was enmeshed in the Korean War.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

Bush put 30,000 more troops to the Iraq. That's surge. With that troops, without any fierece battle, Al Qaida becomes weakest.

Funny than fairy tale. The fact is Al Qaida is a tool of US intelligence. They work for the interest of US inside group. They bomb Iraq civilians to give Pentagon an excuse to stay in Iraq. When American people are tired of the war, they become "weakest" to help Republican in election. This is how this regime to extort people with "terrorist".

FBI collaborates with Jap mafia formations? Unbelievable!

Dear me! You've got to read this! To be honest, I had a suspicion that US security service has been taking part in certain discreditable practices, but now I know it for sure! I can barely believe that FBI would be doing SUCH things but you can't run away from facts.
[http://www.wtop.com/?nid=104&sid=1412525]Report: Japanese mob boss gave $100,000 to UCLA[/url]
[quote]Goto had been barred from entering the United States because of his criminal history but with the help of the FBI, he obtained a visa in 2001 in exchange for leads on potentially illegal activity in this country by Japanese criminal gangs, Jim Stern, retired chief of the FBI's Asian criminal enterprise unit in Washington, told the times. The FBI did not help Goto arrange his surgery with UCLA. [quote]
How could they! Tadamasa Goto is a criminal! A notorious one! Then why don't we give visas to every criminal who wants to have treatment in the US?
Quote:
The surgeries were performed between 2000 and 2004, and each of those years more than 100 patients died awaiting liver transplants in the greater Los Angeles region, according to the Times.
In the year of Goto's transplant, 186 patients who needed new livers died while waiting for the operation in the greater Los Angeles region, according to the Times.
Damn this makes me mad! I think many would agree that a criminal does not deserve life. As for Goto, he doesn't deserve it for sure! Now what about those who really needed transplantation and died before they could get it? There could be some very good men among them, your close friend, your parent, or child! Instead of saving their life FBI gave visa to fucking Jap yakuza Mafioso with a large account and connections in US security services, and got his liver out of turn! I wonder how much he paid to the FBI! How disgusting! Our security service has become absolutely useless while FBI top officials can only raise money!

Re: See US politics From another angle .

Quote, "Kathy are you saying that Ron Paul is a trick for us to fall for??"

I believe so. The whole election is a puppet show unless you have a fair election system. That is to count the votes at the presence of the voters.

All the apples they give you are rotten. You have to pick up one that looks like not that rotten. Remember most Americans dislike the Iraq war. Yet they gave you Kerry and Clinton whom both voted for Iraq war power authorization Bill. Made you have no choice. That's why Obama can make a way in campaign. Even that victory is one after hard working.

But is Obama that good? I am afraid not. Let's watch how this puppet show going on.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

Maybe the Reform party can reform itself into the Capitalism party. A Capitalism party in the US could nominate the richest person in the republic and the person who obtained the largest bonus in the history of the republic. Simply having them on the ballot would offer voter, and market friendly, choices.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

1. The real reason of high oil price

No question the oil price is caused by speculators. Who are those speculators? The financial group which control US economy. They have to do so to avoid an economic collapse. The direct reason for the oil to jump from $90/barrel to $138 is because Iran abandons US dollars as oil trade currency. To block that petro-dollar going back to US, they have to raise the oil price. From this point of view, Iran war is unavoidable.

Here is an article I wrote two years ago.

437. Manipulate oil price (9/20/2006)

After Bush took the presidency, he created a huge budget deficit, and a huge trade deficit as well. The deficit will cause a big inflation. So Federal Reserve has to raise the interest rate to deal with it. In June 2006, the overnight interest rate was raised to 5.25%. The Federal 10 years treasury bill was 5.25% too. The 30 years fix mortgage rate reached its recent high: 6.93%. Although this rate is still low viewed from history, it touches off a down turn of the real estate market. Because the price of house is stretched too tight that a tiny increase of the mortgage rate will cause a big change.

Feds hold a large quantity of houses in my case, they tried their best to keep the property value. What we saw are: Federal Reserve stops its step to raise the interest rate. Oil price declined. The rate of bonds goes down. So does the mortgage rate. From June to September, the bench mark rate of Federal funds stays at 5.25%. The rate of 10 year treasury note drops to 4.73% from 5.25%. The 30 years mortgage rate is 6.44% now.

Today you only pay 4.73% interest rate for a ten years long term loan but have to pay 5.25% rate for an overnight loan. Does that mean there will be no inflation within ten years? Or even mean there is a deflation? With common sense you know it's impossible as long as the oil price doubled in one year. All these were done by Feds to protect their property value so you saw these strange phenomenon.

1. Oil price.
The result of a big trade deficit is that foreign countries hold a large amount of US dollar. When US has not enough goods or assets to exchange these dollars back, it has to think of a way to make these countries to keep the dollar instead of dumping it. One way is to push up the oil price.

A country which consumes one million barrel of oil a year has to keep 30 million dollars in bank (when oil price is at 30 dollars/ barrel) Then how much should it reserve if the oil price jumped from 30/barrel to 60/barrel? It has to double its dollar reserve to 60 millions. So large amount of dollars were locked up in bank as oil payment (Dollar is the appointed currency in oil trading.)

Now you know why the oil price jumped so high. It is used to solve the deficit problem of US. To delay the US financial crisis. Who benefit from it?
(1) Oil export country.(Though much of them are Islamic countries which US dislike. There is no choice.)
(2) Speculator (mostly oil groups). They bought in large quantity of future contracts in a short period. Say, from 30/bar to 60/bar, the average price paid was 45/bar. Then when the market was steady at 60/bar to 75/bar, they sold it at average of 67.5/bar. Their profit is 22.5/bar.
(3) Federal Reserve and US economy. Federal Reserve can avoid to pay a high interest rate in order to lure the dollar in. US can avoid a financial crises.

The loser is always the average people. They have to take the final cost - a higher gas price.

But it's a double side sword. High oil price will also cause inflation to force the rising of interest rate. When it endangers real estate market, then we saw a dramatic decline of oil price. (from 75/bar/Aug 3 to 60/bar/Sept 19, a 20% decline in 6 weeks.) After all, the interest of Feds, is above everything else.

To keep in mind that when the oil price went up this year, it's not that oil supply was in shortage. And when the oil price drops recently, it's not that there is less demand. It's not a market economy any more. It's an artificial manipulating market.

Greenspan knew it. But he could only say what he was allowed to say.
Quote, "The former Fed chief also detailed how investors, rather than users of oil, have come to set the price of oil through purchasing futures contracts."

Re: See US politics From another angle .

2. How US takes advantage on Petro-dollars? It is a long term loan without interest.

US printed some paper in green, call it dollar. US buys clothes, shoes from other countries with dollars. Other countries then buy food, planes from US with the dollars they earned. That's normal trade. But petrol dollar is different. When US pay dollar for some merchandise from other country, the other country use it as payment in oil trading. Since oil trading needs large amount of money, and dollar is apointed as trading money, huge amount of money are reserved in bank for oil trading. That is petro-dollar. That's how US turns a piece of paper into a long term non interest loan bill.

It is just like US bought a house from Japan for one million dollars. Japan keeps that money in bank as payment for oil. Normally, US has to pay monthly mortgage for that house. But with petro dollar, US enjoys a house almost free. All its cost is the printing of green paper. US doesn't have to pay a penny of interest, as long as the principle. How long is that long term loan? As long as the dollar is appointed oil trading currency.

But now is different, Iran refuses to accept dollars. Japan has to change it into other currency. Theoretically, US has to take it back by merchandise. But US can't. It has a trade dificit already. US also has no enough gold or foreign currency reserve to exchange the petro- dollar back. What it does is to push up the oil price - let other countries to absorb the petro-dollar Japan dumped in the market.

US is a rich country. Partly because it enjoys a long term non interest loan. As oil trading is a big business, what a huge amount of money is locked in it? Or in another word, what a big debt US has had? Since US spent too much and hasn't save something, when others want it to pay the debt, a trick to avoid payment is to push up the oil price. And the next step, as we all see, is to justify an excuse to have a war on Iran.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

3. It's not supply and demand. It's US manipulating the oil price by oil reserve and future contract.

(1) Quote, "The former Fed chief also detailed how investors, rather than users of oil, have come to set the price of oil through purchasing futures contracts." Though Greespan use "investors" instead of "speculators".

(2) From supply side:

08-03-05. OPEC to maintain current production; blames US for economic ’mismanagement’
Published: Wednesday, March 5, 2008 | 3:03 PM ET
Canadian Press: William Kole, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OPEC President Chakib Khelil told reporters the global market is being affected by what he called "the mismanagement of the U.S. economy," and that America's problems were a key factor in the cartel's decision to hold off on any action.

"If the prices are high, definitely they are not due to a lack of crude. They are due to what's happening in the U.S.," Khelil said. "There is sufficient supply. There's plenty of oil there."
Though Khelil uses "US economy" instead of "speculators".

(3) From demand side:

Quote, "Shell CEO says record oil not due to shortage
Thu May 22, 2008 5:24pm BST
Shell CEO says record oil not due to shortage | Markets | Reuters

(4) What US Senate Committee found:

Quote, "The real reason why oil prices are rising

June 02, 2008
...........
The finding of US Senate Committee in 2006
In June 2006, when the oil price in the futures markets was about $60 a barrel, a Senate Committee in the US probed the role of market speculation in oil and gas prices. The report points out that large purchase of crude oil futures contracts by speculators has, in effect, created additional demand for oil and in the process driven up the future prices of oil.......
The report further estimated that speculative purchases of oil futures had added as much as $20-25 per barrel to the then prevailing price of $60 per barrel. In today's prices of approximately $130 per barrel, this means that approximately $100 per barrel could be attributed to speculation!...

*What is interesting to note is that the US strategic oil reserves were at approximately 350 million barrels for a decade till 2006. However, for the past year and a half these reserves have doubled to more than 700 million barrels. Naturally, this build-up of strategic oil reserves by the US (of 350 million barrels) is adding enormous pressure on the oil demand and consequently its prices.

The real reason why oil prices are rising

Re: See US politics From another angle .

4. Oil price goes up when Iran abandon Dollar as its oil trade currency. Time table:

(1) (Intention period)

In the end of 2006 and early 2007, the oil price was about $60/barrel. When Iran expressed its intention to use the euro for foreign transactions.

It was about $70/barrel in early July/07. In six months, it rose 10 dollars per barrel.

06-12-18. Iran scraps Dollar, takes on Euro
Mon. 18 Dec 2006
Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Dec. 18 - Iran's central bank will begin to use the euro for foreign transactions, replacing the long-established dollar system, government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham told reporters during his weekly press conference on Monday.

Iran Focus*-*Iran scraps Dollar, takes on Euro

(2) Practising period.

From early July 2007 to the end of January 2008, in seven months, oil price rose from $60/barrel to $95/barrel. In this period, Iran completed its oil trading from dollar to foreign currency.
Quote, " Iran wants yen

July 13/2007 (Bloomberg) -- Iran asked Japanese refiners to switch to the yen to pay for all crude oil purchases, after Iran's central bank said it is reducing holdings of the U.S. dollar."

(3) Expand to future deal.

Early February 2008 to 7/4/2008, oil price was pushed up from $95 to $147 a barrel. That's a $50 dollars inflation in five months. Why I start this period from Februry 2008? Because Iran's Bourse innaugurated on Feb.17. When the oil customers of Iran have to buy the future contract by reserving more foreign currency in the bank, US has to push up the price, let other OPEC customers absorb the Petro-dollars dumped by Iran customers.

Quote, "Iran Oil Bourse to deal blow to dollar

Fri, 04 Jan 2008
The long-awaited Iranian Oil Bourse, a place for trading oil, petrochemicals and gas in various non-dollar currencies, will soon open.

Iran's Finance Minister Davoud Danesh-Jafari told reporters the bourse will be inaugurated during the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution (February 1-11) at the latest.

Some expert opinions hold inauguration of the bourse cold significantly devalue the greenback.

08-03-01. Iran shifts oil sales away from dollar
Sat, 01 Mar 2008
Deputy head of the National Iranian Oil Company for international affairs says Iran has completely dropped dollar in its oil sales.

In an interview with The Financial Times, Hojjatollah Ghanimifard said that over the past three months, Iran has received 75 percent of the proceeds from its oil sales in euros and the remaining 25 percent in the Japanese currency, yen.

Re: See US politics From another angle .

If it were that simple Nero would have done it a long time ago. Consider the analogy to the Romans of that time having only one neck.

Besides, what do you do when it is institutionalized? According to one viewpoint of Constitutional doctrine, anything repugnant to our Constitution is null and void from its inception. So, how did we get a drug war that has no Constitutionally delegated authority since the repeal of that power by the 21st Amendment? I picked this as a simple example.

From another perspective, I am of the opinion that the military should have refused to unconstitutionally (i.e. follow unlawful orders to) prosecute a common Offense, without a formal declaration of war against a lawful sovereign state.

But Tom Daschle and Al Gore were advised to abandon to election 2004. Because they may defeat Bush. And they obeyed. That's why I say it's a domestic horse racing. Everything depends on Master's will.

They leave some incompetant horses for Demo and make it a chaotic circus. Let them attack each other. All to make sure Bush can continue to be a "war president".

And of course, you always see those government accessaries, discredit this and support that. At the purpose to weak Demo and strenthen Bush.
You know, I haven't been on this forum very long and I don't know who this person, or, where he's from... But, it's quite obvious that he has no f-ing clue what is going on here in this country. Glad he can't vote. If I've stepped on someones toes... good.
