Suburban Preparedness and Suburban Survival: Working Class Attire and Bugging Out

Working Class Attire and Bugging Out « Suburban Preparedness and Suburban Survival
Seriously, has it been almost two weeks since I posted last? Even after I promised to post daily? Wow, I apologize to the loyal readers that visit my site daily. I have some treats coming up like shirts and bumper stickers. All very covert. Pictures only so you will know who your fellow preppers are without broadcasting your beliefs all over town.

My new job is taking all my time. I hope you can forgive me and understand that. I am a hard working guy and when someone pays me for something I do it the best I can. A life lesson my dad taught me… “no matter what you do, do it the best you can and people will respect you for it”

The August Review - Globalist Ultimatum: Pay up or Collapse

The August Review - Globalist Ultimatum: Pay up or Collapse
“As the global financial crisis unfolds, one thing is certain: The major investment and commercial banks who have wrecked our economy and financial system are now successfully sucking unlimited amounts of money from the people’s Treasury to bail themselves out.”

The August Review has demonstrated repeatedly that the net effect of the New International Economic Order (term coined by the Trilateral Commission in 1973) was to devise new and more effective ways to divert money from the public sector into certain private hands.

The American Energy Crisis: Lehman Brothers, RIP

The American Energy Crisis: Lehman Brothers, RIP
Fannie, Freddie, IndyMac… today Lehman Brothers fell below $8 (you know what that means…), and Washington Mutual is on the ropes at $3…

The problem is, I only got it 90 % right. I got the bank failures, housing market, Fannie & Freddie, and Oil DEAD ON. But I thought the flight to safety would have been to Silver and Gold, and boy, has that not worked out according to plan - yet. Unfortunately, it is the PRICE response that matters, and at the moment it ain’t going my way.

Mother Jones’: Sarah Palin: A Big Boon for Big Oil

Sarah Palin: A Big Boon for Big Oil
Long thought of as a remote wilderness separated from the rest of the United States in both distance and temperament, Alaska is now perched on the frontier of the 21st-century economy, ready to live up to its once overly sanguine state motto, “North to the Future.” But in Alaska, as it turns out, the future means more of the past: More fossil fuels extracted under the frozen tundra and ocean; more industrial development of pristine wilderness and more destruction of Native lands; and perhaps even another Cold War with Russia over who will control the Arctic’s crucial energy supplies. Poised to help propel Alaska into this future is its governor and now the Republican vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.

OpEdNews » Deception and Delusion: Dummies for Democracy
I believe there is a ruling class that sustains the two-party plutocracy running the nation for the benefit of the rich and corporate class. Their broad strategy is deception and delusion. Tactically, they use government, the mainstream media, the financial services sector, funding of politicians and the two major parties, and many other parts of the culture and economy to maintain their power and control.

Elections do not threaten elites. To the contrary, political debate and elections are important to maintain the illusion and delusion of a real democracy. They are key to prevent outright revolution, marginalize dissidents and political reform efforts, and suppress third parties. Would power plutocrats allow election of a president that threatened their control? Of course not. And no Democratic or Republican presidential candidate ever poses a real threat despite cloaking themselves with labels like maverick, reformer or change agent.
