It would be funny, if we not in dire straits. But, it's like they are emboldened to the point where they actually can brag about it. They know the masses will do NOTHING. They are really stepping up the World Gov rhetoric. God help us, I guess.

Buffett Says Now Is the Time to Buy U.S. Equities

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful" he says.

And up go the stocks.

Buffett says it's time to be greedy - so we're no longer fearful.

Wait a minute. No longer fearful? It's time to sell again!


Slightly more on topic:
JPMorgan Responsible for the Destruction of U.S. Financial System





Buffett's "buy now" call gets lukewarm reception Reuters

And down go the stocks again...


The problem for Buffett is that his warrants were becoming worthless as GE and Goldman stock fell. One cheap, easy way for Buffett to reverse his losses is by penning an editorial using his huge sway, folksy style, and hints of patriotism to stir up some buying.
So me of the 'Oracle's' bets are hurting

So that's what the old fox is up to.

i really like this site. it makes my day. i found it the other night looking for something completely different. i followed the light ship thread all night and most of the day. it was real funny.

this thread caught my attention. it seems everyone here is paranoid. we the people lost control of the government a long time ago. it became a sound bite poll driven mass media feel good response that the parties exploit.

one last thing. lord cheney will save our planet and lead us to the stars.

I saw that quote on the news this morning. I was amazed at the greed in that statement. I heard a while ago that JP Morgan was responsible for the great depression in 1933. I think they said that he spread a rumor that caused a run on the banks so he would be able to buy up US land, property, and businesses for pennies on the dollar. Just what I heard, I don't know if it was true though. I'm going to read that article now, I just wanted to get that out there first.

I'm not the least bit worried about mobs and crowd control ,this current bunch is the worst tacticians I've ever seen they won't be any better at controlling us than they are at controlling Iraqi peasants. Ultimately they can't competently overcome us at all. Bush is doing everything he can to burn the house down when he leaves office. He's a cowardly traitor to his country who in my mind has done little to disprove that he is nothing but a crime lord . I guess he's planning on leaving the US after he leaves office ? do you think he sold some nukes to his terrorist buddies?

HA!

You didn't know that in his spare time, GWB is a frequent ATS'er!


Seriously though... I think that this comes straight from the horsed mouth that things are about to take place... ie: the meetings this weekend and so on. Maybe he is worrying that people are starting to wake up to what is going on around them...

Good thread KaginD!

Thanks Tarbox! I get nervous about all of this. My hubby is totally paranoid 24/7, and I always have to tell him that things are not that bad. But its starting to catch up with me because the more I say it, the worse it gets. Not only that but he looks at me like I'm an a hole when I tell him that.

I think at this juncture, we all know better.

I read it too Taledus, it was last night if I remember correctly, and they did mention that EU and the US are to discuss a one world currency... it should still be in Yahoo, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Your welcome KaginD:


I am in your shoes exactly.

I think that we try to convince ourselves (and others) that things will get better, but the more that happens, (statements made by GWB and these meetings this weekend), we come to the reality that things really are not too good.

All we can do at this point, is keep talking to each other, and keep everyone informed.

You know what the sad part is? Is that I knew this was going to happen, I knew it from the depths of my soul... but whenever I mention it to my father, he thinks I'm going crazy for believing the conspiracy... yes the odd part, is that he too believes part of the conspiracy (Not so much the illuminati part, but he does believe that we're bing manipulated by the wealthy elite) I try to talk with my wife about this as well, but she just doesn't seem to care at all, she'd rather just talk with her friends in some other forum, and just believe that this will all go away.

The reason I say this, is because it becomes so incredibly discouraging when no one wants to even listen to you, so you simply don't know what to do or whether you should even bother doing anything.

The only solution I see to all of this ending, is for vigilantes to start systematically taking out the wealthy puppet masters on top... no, not the puppets, not Bush or anyone in his position, they're just figure heads, I mean you have to start taking out the families on top, the Rotchschilds, the Rockefellers, Dupont etc. these are the ones that have to be taken out. But this is only part of the solution, for the bankers are like a hydra monster, their heads will grow again. After you've taken down the families, the banks have to go next, which is the hydra's body in which it moves and carries its destruction. After their banks are gone, you must ensure that it will never come back by writing legislation that will forbid any private entity from managing money outside of a nation's government. Oh, and all money printed from the govt. should also henceforth not carry any interest to produce deb, otherwise the cycle will repeat itself.

I just read on another thread that the gov. officials from the EU and the US are meeting this weekend to discuss a world currency.. And the source was from yahoo.. something really fishy is going on here IMO.


What gets me is that they are saying this like nobody else has a choice.

Australia, Japan, China, Sout Africa & a few other countries will not be represented in these talks.

If this is for a Worldwide currency, shouldn't everuone be included in these talks?

Or dose the EU - US Alliance just assume that what they decide, the rest of us will "fall in line".

Personally, I don't like it. I mean, is everyone going to be paied the same wages on a single currency system reguardless of where they are living?

Sounds like takeover to me...lol

Gotta start by taking out the families at the top huh? You must actually be a comic book character.


Look this is all getting out of hand. Yeah everyone knows that a buncha rich bankers rule the world, but who cares? Somebody's gotta do it. You guys act like since 1913 nobody has lived a fulfilling, fun, interesting, or important life. In fact, the quality of life in this country and most of the world has improved greatly.

As far as a government takeover goes...well I can't say what that even means, but it sure isn't martial law. There's no feasible way to pull that off over the entire country for a host of reasons. I mean come on, if there's an elite just looking to control everybody they'd be much more efficient and sly then to use force. They'd control the public using other tactics, and they wouldn't riot for the most part(Seattle, and San Fran might) They'd just go along with whatever. Human nature. You act like large populations can't be controlled without force.

When he said government takeover, he meant by buying all the banks and financial institutions. If the Fed and the government buys them all up, they will no longer be considered private businesses. They will be Nationalized. And THAT is one step closer to socialism and communism.
