Yes we have a rally point already. Been there done when I was young, the lessons are learned. Live, die, sheepdogs we have in our clan also who care and try. All the girls can hit a paper plate at forty yards. We will go, then do what we must to protect the family if push goes to shove. We are not paranoid, they are stupid not to think about it before. The herd is numb, not my problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8Q0sX2cv-Q

Bonds are in the venturi effect we noted Higg back some pages. Meanwhile oil will self-regulate the expansion hopes of local economies.
All else is a fail logic loop. We noted the rational expectation model they utilized. Ok, good for them we noted the disconnects and the
observable facets to preserve capital they adulterate. We managed this session to preserve that and modest growth above the induced
inflation for now that is. This next movement will provide what we needed to witness. Retail will cease "drift" sooner than later since
policy cannot reconnect what they annihilated as pricing signals. We will see soon as noted on further disconnects as earlier noted over
generational facts of accounts.

H - is it fair to believe that the ruthless and bloodthirsty individuals that you refer to are LAPD and their ilk, or is it government employees in general?

[Reality Check]

Sheriff issues a non-denial, denial:

San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said Wednesday his deputies did not intentionally burn down the cabin. His deputies shot pyrotechnic tear gas into the cabin, and it erupted in flames, he said.

McMahon did not say directly that the tear gas started the blaze, and the cause of the fire remained unclear.

Sheriff also, did NOT say, if the LAPD ( who was flown in for the final assault ), started the fire or NOT, nor did the Sheriff claim law enforcement did NOT start the fire.

A very carefully worded non-denial, denial:

I do not speak for H. But if society does break down it will be the people who believe that killing other people is OK if it increases their comfort level; or if it reduces their inconvenience it is also justified to kill other people, or if they feel in any way wronged by another it is also justified to kill people even remotely linked to the people they feel wronged by.

If we are going to generalize, this would be the Generation Xers who were shaped by the same cultural training and tactical training as the Generation Xers in the LAPD.

The murderer who was apparently intentionally burned, before or after death, as the case may be, is obviously a member of that same group.

H - is it fair to believe that the ruthless and bloodthirsty individuals that you refer to are LAPD and their ilk, or is it government employees in general?

The brief scenario I painted assumes the central government comes apart financially and control devolves to the local level. In that case it would be the LAPD and their ilk. In certain areas they would become the government.

Then to the other points, a breakdown allows folks who have grievances either as individuals or as part of a group to settle long standing scores that the presence of the rule of law did not allow them to settle. I can imagine government employees being targets once they lose the backing of the state.

Here's an example of a guy I knew who probably has a few scores to settle. I met him when he was about 20 and saw he could do the work of 3 people. So I said, hey, tell you what, I'll pay you $5 per hour to do what I can do in an hour. We did that and he made good money. Point is, he was stronger than an ox, etc.

One day I went over to his apartment and he said, well, I can't work for awhile because I'm going to jail. I said why is that. He took me over to the stairwell and said I threw a guy down these stairs because he stole one of my tapes - he had it in his pocket on the way out and I caught him.

So then the next thing he said was the rule I go by is when anybody screws me over I do at least 10 times the damage as they did to me. He's a Gen X-er of course.

The other day I wondered what ever happened to him. It didn't take long to find 3 or 4 pictures of him on the Internet listed as a "sex offender" because he had sex with his 15 or 16 year old girlfriend when he was about 20, which was like 25 years ago. I knew that, and when I looked at his photos this thought flashed through my mind: if law and order breaks down several somebodies are going to be dead because those pictures got posted.

Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has defended the need for bribery in winning contracts for Italy’s multinationals, as politicians campaigning in general elections have been forced to respond to a welter of corruption scandals revolving around the nexus of politics and business.

Venturi effect. http://daniel-venezuela.blogspot.be/
Will have to wait to see how this pans out for the bond markets and
the dirty float we are aware of. Been a racous week and we are still sorting
ideas going forward. The actual rate we will never know on the spread down there
since the face of currency wars are seldom seen just as when the peso went to .17 cents
during that negleted period of time.

tipping point and actual spillover effect.
Sample to what we warned of about Socialists and the wealth effect semantics. As we note here stock and stack has many facets. Pay attention
since the spillover is on its way to Columbia and its scorched earth effect some of you here may remember on the peso crisis and the actual reason
NATA was concieved. To bolster and invoke a fire wall DC needs to raise a eye brow on this and coordinate some exchange buffers IF possible.
Being as sharp as they are with the brainiac watch the DXY since I have no idea how it is staying as resilient as it has IMO.

Sample: Venezuela nationalizes productivity centers throughout their economy, including the oil industry. The people that once produced oil have left the country to pursue opportunities in places such as Africa. Drilling, finding, refining, and producing oil requires a lot of highly skilled labor. My understanding is that Chavez and team are having difficulty producing enough oil to get the dollars they require to import goods. Chavez has a real problem, if they can't produce enough oil then the country will implode. Big money will wait to pick up the pieces, anyone taking a chance on Venezuela takes a chance on getting their assets nationalized.
Note: I have family that live in Caracas. They are telling me that all the food has been purchased from the grocery stores and that prices for everything has doubled if you can find it.

They are educated as we noted correctly that one might ask the question, "Aren't American socialists in favor of their own country's survival?" To answer this question, we must turn to abnormal psychology. Socialism... is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build; it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created.

We get enough zones stacking issues as we are something may snap. NAM regions seem to have there hair on fire about now. I guess it is safe to convey
in our zones who get lighter fluid sprayed on them and set on fire is the consolidation cycle. We sold positions on option whores and moved to another
set of managers who are content with there duties.

A few note "it begins" as I loosely noted earlier to the contrast that was noted then.
No need to draw context on this since you know it or you do not.

Some thinking caps are on now...

As soon as Hugo Chavez finally is declared dead (and not just on life support), Columbia will have to figure out how to balance their budget without the billions in aid and cheap oil from Venezuela. That is when they will nationalize the remaining mines. If you own any miners with exposure in Bolivia, you better get out now.

As we noted oil will self regulate

"Meanwhile oil will self-regulate the expansion hopes of local economies.
All else is a fail logic loop. We noted the rational expectation model they utilized. Ok, good for them we noted the disconnects and the
observable facets to preserve capital they adulterate."

Did you mean to say Bolivia twice, instead of both Columbia and Bolivia ?
