Nobody’s Perfect: Sapporo Beer VS Bud Light
Nobody’s Perfect:
America likes to think it’s King of the World when it comes to advertising. But let’s compare these two beer commercials.
If you can, put the Japanese Beer commercial above on your big screen. It has 3D effects…
Then, compare the BUD LIGHT commercial, where the humor is in making fun of the American man.
Which beer would YOU want to try?
We fought a World War…and we defeated the Japanese…and then it seems the women took over. I wouldn’t doubt if some foreign company did this Bud Light commercial. WAIT…Bud is now owned by Belgian/Brazilian company: InBev. Do you think that had anything to do with making fun of American man?
That’s what happens with globalization. Other countries can make fun of you while making a buck. Nobody Thinks the Bud Light commericals are very funny, though…let’s all remember that there are bad dancers and smelly men in every country…even Japan, where they make sure that their culture is glorified, even in their beer commercials.
Who won the contest? You decide.
(Thanks to Tom Beebe for the Sapporo commercial)
Prosuming the American Picker
Nobody Knows
Have you ever watched America Pickers? Pawn Shop Wars? Do you think all these programs popping up are just demanded by people because they are so poor, or are they “social engineering” classes? Nobody Wonders….
I have a wonderful friend named Missy, whose family used to be the typical middle class, and she is a great American Picker. Missy is an American woman in the style of Sarah Palin…don’t mess with her, or you’ll liable to find yourself up a tree. She’s feisty, intelligent, loyal, honest, compassionate, and very patriotic.
Her son used to own his own fitness center. Her husband, Mark, used to work for the Post Office. Missy and Mark used to live in New York, but they moved to North Carolina because the New York property taxes were just too much to bear.
Like millions of baby boomers all over America, they are struggling. Mark lost his pension that was promised, and they get a little from Social Security. Mark is good at being a handyman so they spent their lives buying homes, fixing them up, and then sellng them for a profit. They worked hard for their dream, and succeeded many times over.
You know where I’m going with this.
Nobody Wonders how Obama misses this stuff?
Her son has the usual divorce problems, and he is ordered to pay child support… but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t find a job. He went to a job fair and there were thousands applying. The jobs are just not there. And yet, he is still expected to pay child support. He hardly ever sees his daughter and it’s tearing him up inside.
It’s the same in every city of America. 
These are the kind of tough Americans the country was built on. Mark can fix, any car, build any house, fix any problem. Missy can cook fantastic meals from scratch, make her own jellies, skin and cook a deer— tell you how to store onions and eggs in sand. Whenever I have a medical problem I go to her first. Her knowledge of just about every single subject on disease is almost unmatched.
Yes, Missy has a very high IQ. She has saved me over my own doctor too many times to count.
But money is tight. And so, the family goes every Sunday and sets up their booth at the local community “fair.” They trade, they sell, they barter— whatever they can. Missy’s son goes almost every day, selling off stuff that he can find, make or barter. 
This is HOW the family makes money: Flea markets.
It was so touching last week, when Missy told me about how Mark found some pajama’s she liked for $2.50 cents at some booth, so he bought her three. It’s a strong marriage. It’s a good team.
Mark and Missy were once middle class. Those days are now…gone. We are not only the food stamp nation, we are the flea market, dollar store, pawn shop, and Criagslist..give it your best shot…country.
Now…Obama and Mitt are going to talk on and on about the “middle” class, but we will have no middle class: most of our jobs are “service.” If you listened to Obama say today we were on the path to recovery, remember: We owe $16 trillion.
The country is NEVER going to be the same. They just don’t want you to know that, because it’s an election year.
Missy and Mark get by, selling what little they have left, and I must admit, I’m looking around my house wondering..old comic books, old family deeds, heirlooms, old coins, drum sets (oh no!) …but, my house is mostly books. I bought books for knowledge, no collector items. So, really…not worth much. Luckily, my house is paid for. And common sense tells me, I’ll probably live here till I die.
And that’s okay. 
But, this is what bothers me. Now that the middle class has been downsized, and we are all feeling the pain, you can look at most of the millions anywhere on the planet and see people barely exiting. So, the very powerful see this: and see no problem with “downsizing” the people who live in United States to ‘Upsize” the rest of the world. The UN wants a universal purchase tax put on all rich countries to feed the rest of the world. They were going to use global warming to do this, but that’s not working out too well.
And that brings me to Alvin. 
Alvin Toffler ( author of Future Shock), predicted that in the future, we would all become prosumers. We would work at something we loved and would not get paid. He said we would become a nation of barterers and money would become extinct. Alvin said capitalism would become extinct.
He said this many years ago..as if he WISHED it would happen. Now, if you have read me at all, this isn’t the first time I have talked about Alvin And Heidi Toffler.
As I watch American Pickers on TV, I can’t help but think that the popularity of this program is because of our dire economic situation. Obama can say all he wants…
The facts are there: The US deficit will never be repaid, not in our lifetime. The jobs and money will run out…and bartering will be, as Alvin predicted, the only way to eat for many.
Alvin also predicted corporations would do this too:
Many corporations are now moving to a form of internal corporate money so that their subsidiaries can do off the books trades that do not require either taxation or foreign exchange transactions. Barter exists among government-to-government trades, or big company-to-big company trades, where the controversy about internal pricing may be too high to translate into pricing
And that’s what bothers me…Alvin Toffler and his wife are social engineers. They think capitalism is outdated, as is America. They spent their life living in China. They have been advisers to all the leaders of the world. 
Alvin Toffler wants YOU to be a prosumer, which in the American vocabulary means: slave.
Nobody says Alvin Toffler should meet my friend Missy. She’d pick him so bad, he would never heal. We must fight to save capitalism, and put the Toffler’s of the world back in the dark ages where they seem to want everyone else to be…or someday, there will be nothing left to pick.
When you find a “social engineer” who writes books for years predicting the future, Nobody seems to want to ask: Could he predict the future? Or…did Alvin Toffler help shape it?
Nobody Knows, but Nobody’s Opinion on the matter is very strong.
Product Placement: Political Power Prevails
Nobody Cares–
–That I was bored of politics yesterday and watched this little documentary. I many never drink Coke again…and I’ll tell you in a minute about that.
The guy that made this movie, (forgive me if don’t I tell you– I REALLY don’t want to remember his name) reminds me of my next door neighbor. He always borrows my lawn tools and forgets to give them back. Only in America can a guy make a movie about getting major corporations to give him thousands of dollars to put their products IN the movie, which is about him getting $1.5 million dollars to make what is basically—just a big advertisement for their products.
After it was done, I had to think: Now, what did I learn? 
1. POM (the major sponsor) is good for men’s erections. (Yes, that was the big one.)
2. Product placement in movies can sometimes help carry the cost when the budgets are so big.
3. Advertising is almost never honest.
4.. Quentin Tarantino has a hard time getting ANY major spongers.
5. Even Ralph Nader is a sucker for free stuff, bribes, and payoffs.
6. If you just even LOOK at the logo of Coca Cola, your endorphins in your brain will shoot sky high, you will start salivating, fall on the floor, crave wild sex with Kevin Costner, and need to be taken away by the police…..
Just kidding—You might not do that , but you will want to drink one. The MRI’s prove it.
7. I also learned that they know if you get kids young enough loving McDonalds, you can program them to want McDonalds for the rest of their lives. I ought to know: whenever I’m stressed I want McDonalds. In fact, I had it for dinner tonight…a quarter pounder (no cheese) with a Coke. My mother must have bought me McDonalds when I was sick when I was a kid, because it’s the only food that makes me feel better.
Flu? MCDONALDS! Stuffy nose? MCDONALDS! Hangover? MCDONALDS! Don’t want to cook? MCDONALDS! Okay, that last one, in my house, is considered an ailment. 
Obviously this means…OMG! I’m addicted!
So…Nobody asks: How can a “logo” put your brain in addiction mode?
This from Kevin Trudeau’s Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About.”
Food manufacturers are knowingly putting chemicals into the food that cause the consumer to become physically addicted to it. Chemicals are being added to our food that actually make us gain weight. Since our brains are mostly fat, a large percentage of these chemicals accumulate there over the years.
And if commercials about food, cars, cigarettes, vodka, drugs, and car insurance aren’t enough to drive us all into zombie- fat no-brain land, let’s not forget all the subliminal political messages they put in all the sitcoms and movies. 
They are not only advertising products, they are advertising political parties.
Last week Michelle Obama made a guest appearance on Nickelodium to push the Obama’s big campaign suck up to the military. (see video below) Yes, they have to get some white votes somehow.
They could be doing this for two reason: It’s an election year, and they want to convince the conservatives..whose families are in the military, that they like them, or 2. They are planning to attack Iran and need more soldiers before the year is out. The ones coming home will not want to go back out there: back to the deserts, and the camels, and the Muslim busting stress, where a McDonald’s Super-Sized Big Mac Meal, topped off with a cold delicious chocolate shake is hard to come by.
Can you blame them?
Either way, when the top family in the country can manipulative the masses with guest appearances on TV shows…Nobody Wonders: Who pays who? Does the President always get free air time, when others have to PAY to appear? 
How fair is that? Is Newt Gingrich going to get free air time on MTV? Also, did Michelle Obama PAY to have the kids call her “Your excellency”? Or did she…demand it be written in the script?Nobody Knows.
And then… I’ll surely remember his name.
Wal-Mart Hosts the Federal Reserve?
Nobody’s Opinion
Last year, we saw all the Kings Horses (but none of the King’s men) came tumbling down in 2011, and yet, I managed to not panic. Every pundit from FOX to CNN was screaming..”BUY GOLD! BUY GOLD! BUY …BUY!!!”
And bring us all your little gold bracelets too, my little kiddies! I have no money to buy gold…but Glenn Beck did, and he bought enough for all of us. He told us so, every single day.
My bank, the Bank of America, has always been pretty good to me. I always thought..gee..if I go to South America some day to go white water rafting in the Amazon (okay, I dream) …my bank will be there. 
How cool.
When the Bank of America announced that it was going to add a five dollar fee to debit card transactions last year, right away, there was Tricky Dick Durbin (come on…I miss saying Tricky Dick) on the Senate floor telling everyone in the world who had their money with Bank of America to take it out and put it in a local bank, Nobody was a bit concerned. Remember that?
“Bank of America customers, vote with your feet, get the heck out of that bank,” Durbin said. “Find yourself a bank or credit union that won’t gouge you for $5 a month and still will give you a debit card that you can use every single day. What Bank of America has done is an outrage.”
Well…sure, I could do that. But then I’d have to drive ten miles out of my way to my new little community bank, every time I wanted to go to the ATM. The gas alone would be suck up my five dollars.
What to do? Well…I like to tiptoe first before I do anything..you know…stick my toe in the water…so I looked for the nearest community bank near me…and there it was. It was even called First Community! I put a whole $75 dollars in. I was officially supporting a small Bank— God…bless my little American soul.
As I was throwing out my junk mail tonight, and I came upon a brochure from my new little bank. Much to my surprise, my new little community bank’s President had been appointed to the Federal Reserve Bank. And more importantly, you could go to Wal-Mart and do your banking there! He wanted you to do that. Cash that check and go spend!
Let me see….My little community bank was part of the Federal Reserve and it was using Wal-Mart to get customers…have I missed something here?
From Forbes:
Four years ago, Wal-Mart abandoned its plans to obtain a long-sought federal bank charter amid opposition from the banking industry and lawmakers, who feared the huge retailer would drive small bankers out of business and potentially conflate its banking and retail operations. Ever since, Wal-Mart has been quietly building up à la carte financial services, becoming a force among the unbanked and “unhappily banked,” as one Wal-Mart executive.
Let’s talk about this Wal-Mart, We do everything but change your underwear retail experience, shall we?
In the past twenty years, America has replaced its vast network of privately owned retail shops to the big shopping retail stores: Home Depot and Lowes have annihilated the small mom and pop hardware stores. This is progress…we are told. This is American capitalism at its finest. Our country was flooded with cheap products from China.
When Wal-Mart popped up all over the world..you STILL had competition: you had Kmart and Target.
Competition is good–Right? So said Adam Smith. Competition is what makes capitalism so great…so….this year, my local Wal-Mart is going to move a few miles down the street…just so it can be between K mart and Target. Almost on the same block.
Kmart will be crushed. We all know it’s days are numbered. I know it’s the job of the CEO’s to smash all competition…but when there’s no one left standing, you have a monopoly. And that’s NOT good. That’s China. One Store. One Party. One Food supply. Yuk.
Nobody is confused here: Bank of America…is not part of the Federal Reserve…right? BUT…Wal-Mart is hosting banks from the Federal Reserve in its stores…which go all over the world. And..what if…Wal-Mart is the last store standing, and it holds the cheapest banking rates in the world, and those banks are all owned by the Federal Reserve some day?
Aren’t we all suppose to be going towards MORE competition..not less? Isn’t that just a bit too…scary? All the little banks will go under, and the only ones left standing will be the big ones…and the Federal Reserve Bank will be the only place the lower classes will be able to bank. It might not happen…but then…did you ever think that we’d have a President named Barack Hussein Obama?
Wal-Mart’s slogan is: Low prices, everyday. I don’t know about you…but the last time I was in Wal-Mart, all I wanted to do was leave.
Obama would be proud. Wal-Mart is fundamentally changing America. When all Wal-Mart’s competition is gone, you will be able to buy everything you need…in just one store, and you will get your money right there at Wal Mart. To the Federal Reserve and Wal-Mart, it’s a win/win.
I remember not too long ago, Rush Limbaugh lauding the wonderful world of Wal-Mart..how it helped the poor with low prices, what a model of success it was…etc. etc…but sometimes you can get too much of one thing. The rich will aways have their stores, but the poor will have only one place to go: Wal-Mart. It’s already the story here in North County, St. Louis.
Nobody Gets Email: Tom Beebe’s Amendment…
Nobody Gets Email
The other problem: Chinese and Saudi money swamp our elections. Remember Bill and Hillary’s morning (Chinese) coffee trysts at the White House? Pay, and you can meet them. Obama, it was reported by many last year, received millions from the Saudi’s in the last election.
Anyway, here’s Tom’s suggestion…which is a good one!
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)
TOM BEEBE’S AMENDMENT
(Commentary in {..}, not part of proposed Amendment}

Nobody’s Fool: Gerald Celente
Nobody’s Fool
Gerald Celente, is Nobody’s Fool.
If you haven’t heard this man, then go to Youtube and type in his name, and listen.
If there was ever a Paul Revere for our time, It’s Gerald Celente. He has spent years predicting future trends, (That’s what his company does) and he has never missed. Gerald has been trying to call out warnings to us all for many years now..and Nobody agrees with him more: without morality, we don’t have a chance.
He’s frank, direct, honest, patriotic, worried, and doesn’t mince words. Check him out when you can. One thing he can say when his time is up: He did the best he could to tell us all what’s coming. We could use thousands more like him. Hey, I’m listening Gerold. Nobody Cares about every word.
Here’s another one of his rants.
Nobody Needs More Hetty Greens
Nobody Wins
Most everyone will agree… our education system is…abysmal. While there are many public schools, in areas where the lawyers, doctors, and fairly well-off people live that do a fairly good job, for most of America, the story is very different.
We are so far behind in science and math compared to other countries, it a no- brainer that Mitt Romney and Bill Gates want to import more brains from other countries. The main thing that has separated the haves from the have- not’s is knowledge. And there is one bit of important knowledge that the rich know that the poor are never taught:How to play the stock market.
Who is Heddy Green? (1834-1916) She played with the big boys, back when Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller went around the country snatching up natural resources, fixing prices, cheating the government, and trying to destroy one another. This was also before the Sixteenth Amendment was passed giving the federal government the right to tax individuals and corporations. (Now, the rich just put all their money in off-shore banks.)
Hetty was every bit as good at the game, she took no prisoners, and she became a very ric multimillionaire, by playing the stock market.
And HOW did a woman back in the Victorian era accomplish this feat?
From The Rich and How They Got That Way
Hetty father and her grandfather made their money in the whale business. As a girl , Hetty sat on their laps while they read the business news and stock market report to her. Later when their eyesight began to fail, she did the same for them. Since Quakers traditionally regarded women as men’s equals. Once when Hetty went to New York for the winter social season, her father gave her $1,200 to buy clothes. She invested $1,000 of the allowance in bonds instead. All through her life she held high society in utter contempt.
When he died, he left his estate of about $6 million to his daughter. Her father had left his bequest in a trust to be administered by two male executors. Hetty’s income from her various holdings amounted to roughly $1000 a day. yet she wore the same dress every day. She bought railroad stocks and bonds. In one year in London, she made more than $1.25 million on her investments.
So, is it any wonder why the lowly working man is angry? With the right investments, a man or woman needs never lift a finger to survive. And today, we have even bigger robber barons—
“Anybody who plays the stock market not as an insider is like a man buying cows in the moonlight.” The robber barons prevailed partly because they were good gamblers but also because they had no ethical scruples, and no person or agency was powerful enough to stop them. By 1900, America had the highest per capita standard of living in the world. It was the heroic age of American capitalism.
They destroyed one another by manipulating stock prices with the blind enthusiasm of barbarians. The act of a corner was to acquire the entire stock of a commodity in order to resell it at a higher price, a perfect corner obliterated the bears who had sold stock short in anticipation of buying it back cheaper at a later date.
Sound familiar?
So…the reason that we are in this terrible mess, is because a lot of very rich people, saw a way to get very rich on the stock market, and they crashed fortunes, nations, and futures with no remorse.
The little nobodies had no clue, because they were not taught in his schools, how bonds, stocks, derivatives, and even capitalism works.
Nobody Wins, when a nation is kept ignorant by design, of how stock markets work. That gives the cream at the top the advantage.
A man is robbed on the Stock Exchange just as he is killed in war by people whom he never sees.
American have not only been robbed of our money, we have been robbed of our future.
It’s about time, we educate ourselves.
Gold, Wine, and Tulips
Nobody Wonders
What gives money, or anything its value?
Solid Gold Hot Tub
Everyone is pushing gold now…”BUY GOLD” says Glenn Beck. It’s the only safe thing to hold on to. Okay. So you buy it and put it in your vault, and when the world collapses you will be a rich man, or so he says. Frankly, I don’t know how anybody can buy gold if they lose their job and have a family to feed. An ounce of gold is going for about $1,130 dollars.
Mmmmmm.
Glenn is funny. He has fast became a muti-millionaire, and portends to be just like the rest of us, because once upon a time, he didn’t have much. He sees no reason why we aren’t all rushing out and filling our coffers up with gold. I know he’s getting paid to advertise it, but come on.
“Uh..sure Glenn, I’d LOVE to buy some gold. Want to lend me some money?”
When the poor get money, they blow it on a night out at Red Lobster, and I can’t say I blame them.
Gold—you can’t eat it—just like you can’t eat tulips. Did you know that once upon a time, tulips were the most sought after investment in Europe?
From The Rich and How They Got That Way—Cynthia Crossen
“In the 1630’s there was a tulip fad in Europe. (Germany, England, Holland, France) Bulbs became so popular, everyone just HAD to have them. People knew bulb prices were entirely detached from rational value, but they believed others would be even bigger fools than they were. At the peak of the boom, family fortunes were squandered on single bulbs. People traded land, houses, furniture, horses, sheep, cheese, anything for a tulip particularly such remarkable varieties as Viceroy or Semper Augustus. In France the entire dowry of one bride consisted of a rare tulip bulb. Eventually, sellers sold bulbs they didn’t have to buyers who didn’t have money to buy them. Neither party intended to deliver anything they were simply betting on the future price of bulbs. In early 1637, bulb prices were almost doubling every day. A tulip grower was said to have committed suicide when his entire stock was eaten by a cow. The bubble burst for no obvious reason except rumors circulating about a shortage of buyers. “
Imagine that. Trading your horse for a tulip. ( I can think of a lot of politicians that I’d trade for a tulip.) 
Which brings me to the subject of wine. I have never understood the great different in value in one bottle of wine. And yet, go to any grocery store and the middle is packed with just about every different kind of wine you can imagine. A grape, is a grape, is a grape I say, so how come I can’t tell that much difference between a rather good wine, which sells for maybe twenty bucks a bottle, from one of the bottles from the HOLY GRAIL of Wine, the Burgundy Cote d’OR, in France, which sells for $750,609 dollars a bottle?
You can’t TELL me there is that much difference in those grapes. If that were the case— that one grape was worth that much more than another, then you could argue that one race of man was worth a lot more than another. (That’s another blog.) It’s just an opinion.
Recently in France, someone was attacking the vineyards of Romanee Conti, a small field of the finest Burgundy wine in the world, located just South of Paris. The vines were started long ago by lowly monks who really didn’t charge much for a bottle at all. Later, the wine from the grapes were used exclusively for the Kings of France. They are now owned by 71- year- old Domaine de lat Romanee-Conti, and they are harvested with loving care…I know.
But still.
Last year some guy was poisoning the vines and killing them off, and threatening to kill the rest if they did not receive a good size ransom. They caught the guy– but you would have thought that this vineyard was actually a field full of gold instead of grapes. The news of the destruction of these priceless vines was kept very secret until after the fact.
And if you think about it: all this man needs to do is come up with a few cases of wine a year to survive.
Nobody Thinks some wine prices are also entirely ‘detached from rational value.’ I could get drunk off a bottle of my friend Pattie’s homemade wine and be just as happy. (Not that I would of course, I come from a long line of easy marks.) Pattie loves her wine, and I’m sure, if she had the money, she might pay big bucks for the good stuff.
So, again…What gives something value?
Desire.
If you can create a desire for anything, you can become rich. Look at the guy who came up with the pet rock. That was something we ALL needed wasn’t it? Put gold next to a rock. Gold IS a sort of rock, right? Why are the rich paying so much for one ounce of rock? (Don’t answer that.)
Still, when you have something that’s worth a lot, then you’ve got other problems. What if the horse EATS the tulip bulb you are trading him for? What if waiter uncorks your $400 bottle of champagne and pours it into his coffee mug and replaces it with some cheap stuff behind the bar?
What if you buy gold and one day you go to cash it in and the bank says, “We don’t know what happened to it, some guy named Corzine took it.” ?
Gold is now the rich man’s desire. But if you are not rich…then wine is your better bet, because you could buy at least 20 cases of cheap wine for $1,000 dollars, and you are not going to care one bit that you can’t become Warren Buffet after you drink it.
And I could go on and on about this subject so let’s end it with a quote from another nobody who says his name was Anonymous:
“Most people are too busy earning a living to make any money.”
And the rich people know that, which is why they keep us all making low wages so they can own more of the things THEY desire.
Like this:
The Good Greedy Rich VS The Bad Greedy Rich
Nobody’s Opinion
Let’s talk about the rich, shall we? How DO they get that way? Is it just hard work? Haven’t we been told that in America, if you work hard, you will be rewarded? If that’s the case, why is it that most of our politicians are not only rich, they are getting richer? They hardly work at all. When was the last time Nancy Pelosi invented or produced anything?
What happened here?
According to Joseph E. Stiglitz of Vanity Fair;
Virtually all U.S. Senators, and most of the House of the representatives, are members of the top 1 percent when they arrive, are kept in office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they leave office. By and large, the key executive-branch policymakers on trade and economic policy also come from the top 1 percent. It should not make jaws drop that a tax bill cannot emerge from Congress unless big tax cuts are put in place for the wealthy. Given the power of the top 1 percent, this is the way you would expect the system to work.
So, it seems we have two sides of greed: good greed, and bad greed. How do you tell the difference? I have an easy answer: If they are plundering, not producing, they are bad.
Long ago, when mankind first came out of the sand holes of Afghanistan, the only way to get rich…was to plunder and steal, and that’s exactly what Machmud of Ghazni did. (see picture) He built an army, and plundered his way around Afghanistan. He burnt all the villages down, stole their crops, and made himself King. Then he built himself some really spectacular palaces, and if you were really nice and he liked you, he’d throw pearls in your mouth.
Machmud wasn’t interested in occupying the countries he invaded, he just taxed his own country to death to pay for his plundering escapades.
I’m sure they really appreciated that.
In the city of Kanauj, India, in the year 1010, his army murdered all the inhabitants, destroyed 10,000 temples, pocketed gold, silver and jewels and captured 55,000 slaves and 350 elephants.
The malicious act of plundering hasn’t gone away, has it? Men still love to plunder..and the politicians have made it into a work of art.
Barack Mahmud Hussein Obama (probably a direct descendant of Machmud on his father’s side )— a man whose own Presidential reelection will cost over one billion dollars in 2012, wants to plunder the rich. After all, the poor are being taxed to fight the wars, which are now being fought, we are told, to spread “Democracy, Freedom, and McDonalds.” We are so much in debt that, as the saying goes, you can’t get ketchup out of a cotton candy, so Obama wants to go after the gold, silver and capital gains tax of the rich.
And one really big rich guy just died—Steve Jobs. 
From The Rich Times:
Mrs. Jobs is likely to pay $1 Billion in estate taxes after the passing away of Steve Jobs. He had already put shares that he owned in Apple ($2.05 billion) and Disney (worth $4.74 billion) in a trust in order to avoid probate taxes. If Apple’s late co- founder left his estate to his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, the family won’t be liable for the 35 percent estate tax until she dies or gives money to others, according to estate planners.
If Powell had decided to stick with the stock then she may even have been taxed on the 3.8 percent levy that the American government is planning on unearned gains. Under U.S. law, the trust can sell the shares and incur taxes only on the appreciation since Jobs’ death — a gain of about $338 million. If Jobs had died in 2010, when there was no estate tax, his heirs would have faced the capital gains tax on his entire investment profit if they had sold. That provision lapsed in 2011 when the estate tax was reinstated.
Nobody Knows what her readers think about this, but it seems, if a man makes a product, that is a benefit to the world, he should be able to pass his wealth on to his children.
The politicians as we have learned are becoming billionaires in office, working with the top 1 percent, affecting laws, and getting knowledge of insider trading. They are not good greedy producers, but bad greedy plunderers. Our personal Congressional/Presidential Machmud has merged with Goldman Sachs, Freddie and Fannie, and the Federal Reserve, and has managed to plunder the whole world of untold trillions.
Machmud would have thrown pearls into all their mouths, and then..
Plundered them.
Have we got a Machmud Trojan Horse in the White House? 
Nobody Thinks we should open his mouth, and look for pearls.
It’s All About the Derivatives, Stupid.
Nobody Knows—
Why the whole world is falling apart? George Carlin hadhis opinions…but I wonder what he’d say about that word that keeps getting thrown at us daily, like a dirty diaper full of poo…That mysterious word: Derivatives. Something George Soros knows a lot about, but the rest of us are not allowed to even THINK about. It’s the “n” word of the proletariat, but in the high offices of the
world, it’s pasigraphic. All we know is that somehow Freddie did Fannie in a back room deal and we all got *&%$.
History has been forgotten here, so let’s review:
Remember when Japan hop-scotched over the United States and took our technology and beat us in manufacturing cars and computers in the late 1980’s? We invented stuff here,
and BAM…Japan took our technology over and went soaring economically. Our companies were trying to put all their employees into worker beehives of miniature Japanese clones trying tocompete. Remember the movie “Gung Ho?” with Michael Keaton? But the real problem was…unions.
Let’s follow the money….and the mistakes:
Japan:Myself, I wouldn’t want to live there…I’d feel like an ant hive living on top of a giant Lego toy, but we watched it deflate during the 1990’s due to the “Japanese asset price bubble”, which was wiring speculative excesses from the stock and real estate market.
Whatever. Now, they have the biggest dept in the world at 200% of their annual growth. One in six live in poverty. The tsunami put them in the hole for another “decade” but today…they are doing well
again…according to Drudge.
Russia: Remember when the inebriated Boris Yeltin took his tanks to the parliament buildings? Thatwas after Russia had gone broke fighting their wars in Afghanistan. Viktor Gerashchenko became Duma’s man after Yeltin, even though he was head of the bank twice before:
Many ordinary citizens had their savings wiped out by a disastrous reforms in 1991, and again when the ruble sank 30% on a single day, Black Tuesday in 1994. Gerashchenko was widely criticized for heedlessly
printing rubles and pumping almost unlimited credit into rusting ,unproductive (solar power) industrial enterprises and collective farms. –Time Magazine 1998
Wait…who did the solar power?
Bernanke Gerashchenko… Mmmm….has a nice e ring.
Russia’s prices went so high in the 1990’s that they crossed the threshold of hyperinflation. Gerashchenko wanted to nationalize the banks, set exchange rates by fiat, and subsidize industry and agriculture with rubles hot off the press. Well, we do that, even in FINLAND!
European Union…that totalitarian utopian dream of a Brussels Sprouting billions of global stock dividends is drawing to an end. The people that work,(Germans) are being asked to take care of the people that work a few days between vacations. We have the unemployed on welfare, they have Greece and Italy. They don’t spend money on defense (WE defend them) so they got into all
kind of giveaways that nobody could afford.
Where are those damn derivatives?
United States: One day, President Bush came out and said–“The boys in Wall Street gambled with a lot of money and lost, (derivative overdose was blamed) and so now you, comrade, are going to have to bail out the world global economy. Of course, this was after the FED flew in over 40 billion dollars on a plane to Iraq, which was all given to ONE MAN…and nobody knows where the money went.
(What? Is this Vietnam’s Air America all over again? it’s one thing to fight our enemies, but do we HAVE to keep giving them billions?)
How are we exiting any different than Russia? The war in Afghanistan and Iraq have drained us, but not as much as our own politicians. Unlike Russia, we could have afforded those wars if not for..
Here we go again: Derivatives, which has left us in so much dept we can’t pay those welfare checks much longer…
Phyllis Schlafly–
What is now called the hidden welfare state (because so few Americans know about its enormity) is the fastest-growing component of government spending, and this does not include Social Security or Medicare payments. The total of these means-tested handouts is greater than what we are paying for our entire public school system and greater than what we spend on national defense.
Obama tripled that amount on welfare in his first two years. Depending on which Al Capone official book you want to look at, it’s between…14 trillion and 4 qaud-zaillion. An American outdoes a Russian every time.
Take THAT Moscow!
And how did all this “stimulus” that got passed around to the banks and Wall Street come about?
Derivatives. There’s that dirty word again.
The world is one big gambling derivative casino for the elite.
Greenspan. “Today, there is one single integrated global stock market,” he said.
Mahathire Mohamad,who used to be the prime minister of Malaysia had to say about the world economy in 1998:
“The currency turmoil that hit southeast Asian countries in the 1997 was initially expected to last only a few months. It has now spread throughout the world. No one has really benefited except possible the currency traders and share market speculators. The fact is that the economic disaster would not have happened if the speculators had not attacked the currencies and the share markets. Government are being blamed while the currency traders, foreign capitalist and hot money stock market raiders are being praised for their efforts to discipline these government and force them to change their ways.”
Sounds pretty much what we are hearing from the G-20…isn’t it? The same old song.
So…let me get this straight for George Carlin: Globalization was passed off as a freedom capitalistic system of joy, and since all politicians can do insider trading, they looked the other way while the
Soros, and big money Wall Street bankers (FEDs) made themselves trillions of dividend dollars by constantly propping up the stock market, playing with monopoly money taken out of thin air, no matter what it did to the rest of the world.
In Carlins’s philosophy class, that not capitalism, that’s grand theft auto on steroids.
And it’s all because of that dirty little word called derivatives.
Email: Scott Walker, Hero of the Working Massas
Nobody Get Email
Life can be simple if you follow the signs. Today as I was minding my own business, laying around reading such nebulous facts like…In the year1996 the spokesman for the CIA was Chase Brandon, who happened to be a cousin of Tommy Lee Jones, who happened to be Al Gore’s old college roommate. Chase’s job was to give access to previously restricted areas to the media and Hollywood. And then I thought..mmmm, Ron Perry used to be Al Gore’s campaign manager, a fact we should make him talk about. It’s such a small world in the elite power structure called Washington/Hollywood, don’t you think?
Like I said, I was minding my own business when I got a call from Minnesota from a conservative black man who wanted $100 dollars to help Scott Walker. He wanted money, not for Scott Walker, but to keep the unions from starting up recall elections throughout the country.
When I didn’t give, he lowered it to $50, then $30. Well, I’m following the Steve Jobs rule of “no charity but my own” at the moment and so I come to the “follow the signs” moment of clarity.
Today, being the lazy day that I don’t write but POST emails…I knew exactly what email to post…I had gotten my sign. (Thanks to Tom Beebe)

Why in the world is this not being reported and talked about by our politicians.
Nobody Says–(Why indeed? Why isn’t China being talked about? Why isn’t Marxism being talked about? Why isn’t Michelle trying to force us all into a rehashed version of Hitler’s state vegetarian diet being talked about?)
Governor Walker deserves many accolades for his actions and grief in dismantling the WEA. Please pass this on…..
The Democrats and the Liberals are keeping really quiet about this. Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker doing away with collective bargaining for Teachers unions? The results are in. Some school districts went from a $400,000 deficit to a $1,500,000 surplus as a result. They are even hiring new teachers, not firing like the Liberals said would happen. Why?
It seems that the insurance company that provided all the “so-called” benefits to the teachers was an insurance company owned and operated by the teacher’s union. Since that outfit was guaranteed to get the insurance business from the teachers, and the state had to pay for it (not the teachers) the insurance company was increasing annual costs every single year to become the most expensive company in the state. Then the company was donating millions and millions of dollars to its favorite democrat politicians who, when they got elected, guaranteed to keep funding the union’s outrageous costs. In other words, the insurance company. It was a “pass through” for Wisconsin taxpayer money to go directly to the democrat politicians.
Nice racket, and this is the racket that is going on in every single State that allows collective bargaining. No wonder the States are taking it away.
(Nobody thinks this was what my phone call was about.)
Now the State of Wisconsin is free to put the insurance contract out for bids and, lo and behold they have saved so much money it has turned deficits into surplus amounts. As a result, none of the teachers had to be laid off, everyone got a raise, etc. etc,..and the taxpayers of Wisconsin don’t have to pay more taxes to fund the union’s political ambitions.
If you weren’t aware of the reasons Gov. Walker was fighting to take away collective bargaining, it gives you an idea of the problem the Republican Party has. Outside of one or two, none of them know how to speak up and explain properly what the problem was. We could sure use a Ronald Reagan now, someone who could explain things for people to understand, since we know that people don’t like to read anymore.
*****
Here’s what Tom Beebe wrote, the reader who sent me this email, back during the demonstrations:
Let us acknowledge the right for all workers to collective bargaining with the limitation that it is a right, but should not be a condition of employment. The results of collective bargaining are often to the detriment of the workers. The UAW got sweetheart deals, and the management looking the other way when workers got less and less productive. Result? Check out the nearest lot for Hondas, Nissans, and Toyotas, and check out Detroit’s dismal streets or available manufacturing space here in Fenton Missouri.
The public sector is much the same in that negotiators across the table from the unions are as corrupt from the unions are as corrupt, perhaps even more spineless than those of the Big Three who gave away the store to the UAW. So let us seek legislation that would require public sector contracts be put to the vote of the taxpayers, just as the UAW contracts and member behavior were put to the vote of the car buyer. Unions and management’s last best offers to on the ballot for a binding vote by the electorate. And should we feel the politicians charged with representing us have made too generous an offer to the unions, we need only to look down at the ballot to find the opportunity to throw them out.
Put Wal-Mart In Charge of the Government? What Have We Got to Lose?
Nobody Reports
Here in the middle of the country, around the St. Louis vicinity, there is one store that is expanding with leaps and bounds, while giant Malls are closing. In fact, the old Wal-Marts are being torn down, while the new Wal-Marts are being built a few miles away, ten times bigger, with gigantic supermarkets. And THIS is happening…all over the world.
Do you see where this is going? The middle class malls are all but disappearing. The malls where you pay $200 for a simple shirt are still standing. If that isn’t proof that the middle class is doomed forever more I don’t know what is. And yet…Democrats and Republicans alike love Wal-Mart and the fact that it has expanded all over the world as proof that capitalism at its finest really works, never suggesting that politicians have been getting big bucks to help Wal-Mart put its competition out of business.
Monopoly should get rid of Park Place and put Wal-Mart in its proper place on the board. Because someday, when we buy all our groceries and all our products from Wal-Mart, it will be a Monopoly, and we might see it competing with the Rich Malls, at $$195.00 a shirt.
But—here’s an email I got with some facts..and the answer to all our problems: (Thanks to Tom Beebe) Love Wal-Mart or not…if they ran the government, it would be a step up from the abyss.
(Now…about that video…Pattie, were you trying to scare me? )
******
1 Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world’s largest private employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 2,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth’s population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.
13. Wal-Mart has gross sales that total more than the total revenue of all the countries in the world, except 6.
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.
This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!
To the President and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, both parties.
It is now official – you are ALL corrupt morons:
a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor” and they only want more.
e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
!!!You have FAILED !!! in every “government service” you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.
AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ?? YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN THE AUTO INDUSTRY…. THE BANKING SYSTEM?????
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WAL-MART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ???
WAL-MART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS… WHY DON’T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT IT’S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?

What is Mercantilism? “Mercantilism, which reached its height in the Europe of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was a system of statism which employed fallacy to build up a structure of imperial state power, as well as special subsidy and monopolistic privilege to individuals or groups favored by the state.” … Murray N. Rothbard
As we all know, Obamacare was passed so quickly and with such speed, nobody even read it or knew what was in it. It might as well have been an executive order. First off, it is unconstitutional, because nobody in Washington has the RIGHT to tell its people they HAVE to buy something or go to jail.
Here in Missouri, the citizens voted AGAINST Obamacare…and now we find out, they really don’t care what we think. —

Breaking News! Governor Nixon is trying to set up an Obamacare Exchange, bypassing the legislature and your representation! Last spring the Missouri House of Representatives unanimously passed HR 609, a bill to set up the Missouri Health Insurance Exchange ‘required’ by Obamacare. It was stopped in the Missouri Senate. There is still strong opposition in the Senate, so Governor Nixon (D) is trying to use an existing bureaucracy as a vehicle for Obamacare Exchange by funneling federal Obamacare “Establishment Grant” funds through the Missouri Health Insurance Pool.
This action is tantamount to appropriating funds, a task constitutionally delegated to the House of Representatives.
Please call Governor Nixon and tell him not to skirt the appropriations process. Tell him not to use an executive order or other action to set up an Obamacare exchange.
Tell him to leave legislation to the legislature.
Jay Nixon 575 751 3222
The Liberty Team.
***
Now, this is not on our local news, but everyone knows that this Nixon guy is going to do this no matter how many calls he receives. It’s not up to the citizens to call him, it’s up to the State Congress to impeach the man for breaking the law. After all, they all swore to uphold the Missouri Constitution, and representing the people. Calling Jay Nixon isn’t going to do a thing. You might as well call China and ask for a free trip to the Bahamas.
Sadly, we are all too used to this now.

The Loaded Gun in the Internet …(Hi NSA!)
Nobody’s Opinion
The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn…Alvin Toffler
(Nobody was thinking about this today because I learned from my friend, that two doors down from her house, a man went out to his front yard, and shot himself. He had been searching for a job for two years. He leaves behind a wife and two kids.)
The subject: Money. 
Just before Obama’s job speech this upcoming week, we find out, that the United States Post office might have to close for the winter. It is $8.5 billion in the hole, mainly due to the fact that 80% of its expenses are due to union labor costs. Layoffs are coming, (they want to lay off 220,000) and since the Post Office has bought many blacks into the middle class, under Obama, they are going to lose big time.
They want Congress to bail them out. (More than likely, they will)
So…where’s Jesse Jackson? Maybe he’s not saying much because they are thinking about letting the Post Office deliver beer and wine to your door to make money, and Jesse’s son (plural?) got very lucrative Budweiser dealerships in Chicago…because Jesse was threatening just about everyone under the CEO sun with race extortion during the Clinton years.
Drinking is a very popular pastime during any depression, and so, they are thinking ahead.
The P.O. still delivers around three billion pieces of mail a day, so what gives? Like most governmental branches, billions of dollars were lost to overpaid employees pension fund.
The “progressives” like Alvin Toffler, and the banks and businesses must be pretty excited about this, and this is why—
For most of the United States history when you made money, you could put it in your bank account, and no one touched it but you. It took a judge to grab it, but if you did not break the law, you knew, it was safe.
While the invention of the internet has been as big of a benefit as the invention of the light bulb— there are setbacks.
For one…nobody writes anymore. Many of our schools are not even teaching cursive. And it’s not just us. The Chinese are so good at texting, millions of Chinese kids can only text, they are not learning to write Chinese.
So, this is the change…less study, therefore, less knowledge. There is incredible value in teaching how to write cursive. Hand to eye coordination for one. But, it will be lost to the future generations who will only need to know how to ‘learn’ according to Alvin.
Tell me, what can you ‘learn’ without reading? How to re-cycle? How do you type if you can’t read? Someone should stuff this man in a time capsule and keep him in China. (I’m sorry, Alvin gets under my fingernails, like dirt. I like to pick at him.)
But, this is what bugs me the most about this great “change.”
If you can’t pay your bills anymore by check, then you will have to let, all your bills be paid online. Paying by the ever disappearing US mail will of course, triple the overdue fines. All these people, who once could never reach into your personal pocket will be able to just, whenever they want, take money out of your account. I’m bombarded every single day with “Save a TREE! Pay Online.”
Uh…no thanks. I’d rather plant a few trees…tell Al.
When the Post office closes we will all be forced, not to pay what we want when we want, and how MUCH we want— but to have minions of businesses and governmental agencies grab what they feel they deserve.
Cash will disappear. It’s happening now.
For instance: anyone who has been charged some ungodly medical bill knows how the hospitals want their money NOW.
“You had an MRI..took 15 minutes. Cost $10.000.” You have a job. (making $35,000 a year) Pay half this week.”
If you did not have control, they would just wipe your bank account off the map.
You know it. I know it. But the kids, they haven’t figured it out yet. They are being programmed that a company having access to your bank account is just so EASY! Isn’t it wonderful? Hey kids! Computing is cool. You don’t even have to write a check!
It’s the future!
Tell me, when you get a back statement, and you pay maybe ten dollars over the limit each month, what’s to keep some credit card company from grabbing fifty dollars more?
Nothing. 
And if you protest, what? Are you going to wait weeks before its resolved?
When the Post Office goes, we will lose freedom. Freedom to control our own money.
And think about it, maybe that what they want. God forbid we get hit with a EMP, as they seem to think we will be. We will all have to trade for food.
Twenty Years ago Alvin Toffler predicted just that. He said that in the future money would be gone. We’d all go back to “trading” whatever we had. Think of it:
“I’ll mow your lawn if you give me some of those cucumbers neighbor!”
And Alvin calls that …progress, that we need to ‘learn’ to accept.
“We need to train thousands of young people in the perspectives and techniques of scientific futurism, inviting them to share in the exciting venture ofmapping probable futures.”
The Future Shock thesis presents people as being ‘overwhelmed’ by change to a point of widespread dysfunctionality that might cause widespread social breakdown, so it is said. Mmmmm….I’d like to overwhelm some Future Shock authors.
Benjamin Franklin started the first Post Office in Philadelphia on July 26, 1775 by decree of the Second Continental Congress. If Ben had read Alvin’s previous quote he would have said.,
“Half the truth is often a great lie.”
Technology is our future…but it can also be our destruction. Like the gun in a serial killer’s hand, or a nukes in Ahmadinejad’s hand, or all the money in the control of the banks— in the wrong hands…it can be deadly.
As the wife of the poor man who shot himself now knows.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
