Escrava Isaura
Good morning,

Ladies and gentlemen

In the first person.

I woke up this morning with this in my head.

I was born in a very religious state, in Brazil, called Espírito Santo (Holy Spirit).

I was born and grew up in right behind its State Cathedral. Every time I looked outside my window, or stepped outside, there it was, the Cathedral. And its priests, bishops, and so on.

That Cathedral, looking back, it was the tower of the indoctrination and conformity of the ignorant.

Across that Cathedral, it was a round square with a short street that led to the Palácio Anchieta (governor’s Palace and the state’s executive power).

That Palace, looking back, it was the tower of corruption and deceit by the smart and educated class.

These both institutions, to this day, still need each other for their survival.

And here we are, on the middle of that short street, in-between the parasites and the mediocre, both holding to unrealistic believes and lies, wondering what come next?

It is always wise in agriculture and animal husbandry to have different strains so as to protect against catastrophic loss due to disease or blight, even if it is a bit "inconvenient".

Japan has increased their military budget again. I wonder if you could predict the start of wars by looking at increases in military budgets...

Friday's request, if approved, would mark the third straight annual defence budget increase and a 3.5 per cent rise from the budget for the current fiscal year to March 2015.

The trend reflects Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's wish to build a more active military, with an eye on a possible escalation of tensions with China.

The Yen is down about 3% in the last month and more than 20% in the last 2 years. I am sure it is foolish to own 10 year JGBs paying 0.5% interest. I expect the Yen to really plunge sometime in the next 2 years. I am not sure if this is the start of the big move, but it might be.

It seems Abe is putting a minister in charge of a government retirement fund. This new minister is expected to sell government bonds as part of rebalancing the fund. Could really be enough to kick off a hyperinflation feedback loop.

No

They have enough free cash flow from cluster plants to dirty float as was the nature and still is.
As we seen here in GD forums before both indexes match. Dr Koo made his points
very clear here some time back on neo classical defense spending role he seen viable.

"Currency manipulation is not a route to competitiveness, it is a soft alternative to hard explanations to the electorate."

It is leveling the playing field with a the "wasting" process on numerous levels which is the seen and unseen as hayek knew.

I will not comment on what he meant since its already a done deal. It does mirror the Chicago School mindset which we
refer to as fresh water economics. The point was parity we fingered some time back here on the scatter chart seen.
I will dig it up when I get more time. From that time forward the politics blew a rather simple fact many never seen
since it offered breathing room, that would be safe to proffer.

The financial engineers have indeed destroyed more than they can ever offer now.
Some will say it is to complicated to understand what we are trying to say.
I think we can safely say here it was not our understanding we make others understand
what already was.

Consolidations will factor in cluster parity. We have seen the "renditions" before.

As John noted clearly "In fact, what I believes happens is the other way around: Analysts
uniformly decide what outcome will produce the most money for
themselves, and they select short-term indicators that they believe
predict that outcome."

Are you starting to get the picture?
Our economic infrastructure is being absolutely gutted and more than 46 million Americans are now living in poverty.
And if you are waiting for the jokers in Washington D.C. to fix things, you are going to be waiting for a very, very, very, very, very long time.

America is a Fata Morgana since the internecine slaughter.

banksters always operate on a gold standard


"Henry Bent, a chemist, calculated on the basis of the second law that the chance for a reversal of entropy, such that one calorie could be converted completely into work, is comparable to the odds for a group of monkeys randomly punching at the typewriters to `produce Shakespeare's works 15 quadrillion times in succession without an error."—*S.W. Angrist, "Perpetual Motion Machines," in Scientific American (1968), pp. 218, 120-121.

My thought also on designs. No accidents apply... I warned you the second window has passed...

India’s economy still too small to offset all the majors. inxx was the clue left here.

I consider modest deflation factors more them rampant hyper inflation for now.

August sixth we get a partial solar wave burst already on its way even if modest to remind the grid needs some additional protection

Politics is so far removed from any actual reality as we already know that most would drop dead from the nature of things as they still steal

money from the unborn as debt, and butcher the unborn on the taxpayer disabled Conscious.

I still agree the moral relativism will be the end of the nation since the Arkancides got in power if it was not already dead between he ears

anyway on vast numbers since the internecine slaughters called our civil war for the serfs histories.

Amos was right

[Reality Check]

Obamacare.

Below is link to a, very concise, and very accurate, bottom line description, of what is going on in the Health Insurance World.

As someone who actually read the Obama-care bill before it was passed, the biggest problem with Obama Care is, and always has been, that it is horrible health insurance from the perspective of anyone who get's sick, or get's injured and needs health care.

Obamacare is P*ss Poor health insurance.
