Summary is great http://www.suspicious0bservers.org/


Earlier weather report was also.
It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.…

I was warned one day from my Wife the hedge of protection was removed for this nation. No reason for the comment was ever stated. I never discounted the statement to this day.
I got two days off and we are in the process of planting since hope springs eternal.

Huxley was Orwell's professor.
Correct. In 1917 Aldous Huxley briefly taught Orwell French at Eton. Years later he sent Orwell a letter praising Nineteen Eighty-Four and suggesting by a brief comparison that his dystopia was more probable.

The letter is here:
http://www.infowars.com/1984-v-brave-new-world/
And the disturbing last paragraph is excised here:

Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large scale biological and atomic war — in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds.

Thank you once again for the book.

Yours sincerely,

Aldous Huxley

For proper context on Aldous Huxley one has to keep in mind that his brother was an ardent eugenicist and laid the foundations for the Transhumanist movement. As founder of the UN's UNESCO, Julian Huxley articulated its agenda here:

http://www.infowars.com/the-mass-media- ... of-unesco/

"Taking the techniques of persuasion and information and true propaganda that we have learnt to apply nationally in war, and deliberately bending them to the international tasks of peace, if necessary utilising them, as Lenin envisaged, to "overcome the resistance of millions" to desirable change..."
Orwell's book was a hyberbolic warning to humanity based on his intimate knowledge of war and the inner workings of London's murky intelligence death merchants. Realpolitik writ large.
Huxley's book was more a fatalistic and aspirational ode, a smug travelogue destined by the blueprint of Fabian socialist engineers bent on global domination.
Hard kill vs soft kill.
Hero vs villain.
Pick your poison.

The S&P 500 is down 1.8% today. Whenever I see something like this I think, "If Friday is down big then over the weekend lots of people will think about "taking some off the table" and Monday will be a crash". But so far the Fridays have not been down big. Tomorrow will be interesting.

The Dow is down 300, and I've been listening to CNBC off and on, and
what I hear is really mind-boggling. They're trying to explain the
300 point fall, and they're all giving reasons, but not one single
person has said anything about what the stocks are actually worth.

If you're buying a TV set, you might be willing to pay a few hundred
dollars more than last year for a larger screen, or more interfaces,
or more vivid colors.

But nobody is saying anything remotely like that for stocks. They
talk about the Argentine default, or the unrest in Ukraine or Gaza.
But not a single person asks whether there's any reason why stocks are
now 1000 points more expensive than a year ago.

Oh wait, a cute blonde just came on -- Liz Ann Sonders of Charles
Schwab. She says that stocks are not overpriced. She says, "They're
at medium values on both a trailing and forward basis." I'd accuse
her of being a dumb blonde, but the men are just as stupid. At any
rate, she's lying, because stocks are far overpriced on a trailing
basis. So the entire set is filled with idiots.

[John]

Oh wait, Ben Becker, Univ of Missouri MBA student just came on and
said that valuations are very high.

You know, this is very amusing. I don't know why Becker was invited
on, but presumably he's not earning a living from commissions, so he's
the only one who doesn't have to lie.

As I noted in a MarketWatch column last year, the warnings of the Trustees report were largely dismissed, with the venerable New York Times editorial board declaring that Social Security's financial shortfall "isn't a crisis" and "is a manageable problem." My guess is that we'll see similar responses this year from many in Washington and the media.

This complacency creates a false sense that the financial problems facing Social Security are neither serious nor urgent. Please don't be fooled. Social Security faces severe financial challenges that policy makers must soon address if we are to ensure the program remains viable for the most vulnerable in our society.

I know what you're thinking. Every year someone warns that Social Security is in dire trouble, and policy makers must act. But nothing ever happens.

I noticed the similarity in verbiage in this article with our recent discussions about electrical grid vulnerabilities. It seems like so many bullets have been dodged for so many decades that Americans are immune to taking any warnings seriously.

Keep the charade going, don't think, all is fine --- reminds me of a George Carlin routine ----

"Or how about those people in Kilauea, Hawaii, who built their homes right next to an active volcano, and then wonder why they have lava in the living room."

No thinking man is surprised to the communicated silent universals of political realism.
