Tea Party Vs. Occupy Wall Street Protesters

I won't say a thing - You be the judge!  Please tell me about just ONE interview during the Tea Party Protesters that sounded like just this lady's explanation of the reasons why they were protesting.  Can you please send me a brief synopsis of what she said?  

The Tea Party reasons were:  No New Taxes and Stop the Out-Of-Control spending!

Copper Makes a Killing!  

Copper Pennies

One out of every twenty hospitalized patients will contract hospital-acquired infections, according to the CDC, Centers  for Disease Control and Prevention. Metallic copper surfaces kill microbes on contact, decimating their populations, according to a paper in the February 2011 issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. 

Microbes on Dollar Bill

When microbes were exposed to copper surfaces, scientists observed contact killing to take place at the rate of tens to hundreds of millions of bacterial cells within minutes. Thus, such surfaces could provide a critical passive defense against pathogens in hospitals, where hospital-acquired infections are becoming increasingly common and costly, killing 50,000-100,000 Americans annually, and costing more than $8 billion, according to one estimate. Still, scientists caution that "metallic copper surfaces will never be able to replace other hygiene-improving methods already in effect," although they "will certainly decrease the costs associated with hospital-acquired infections and curb human disease as well as save lives." Furthermore, they expect this strategy to be inexpensive, because "the effect does not wear off."

Current annual world copper production is over 15 million tons. The U.S. Geological Survey reported a current total reserve base of copper (economic and uneconomic) of 1.6 billion tons as of 2005, of which 950 million tons was considered economically recoverable.  Global adoption of antimicrobial copper would increase demand by 500,000 metric tons per year, a 3.5% increase.  Currently trading at $3.219 a pound, up 16.45¢ or 5% as of Friday, October 24, 2011.

Cross Hairs Report - "Inside Job" Movie Review

'Inside Job' movie review: Documenting the political influence of wall street

Tired of trying to figure out what happened when Wall Street Blew Up?  Here is a movie with answers that will knock you down before you even sit down!

As liberal-minded and biased as Matt Damon is politically, he really did an excellent job narrating what was done by both parties, Republican and Democrat. 

The movie review by Stephan Whitty, The Star-Ledger, was a fair-handed assessment.  Whitty added an insightful comment toward the end of his review, "Director Charles Ferguson is too quick to blame our institutions, rather than us.  After all, someone had to sign up for all those sub-prime loans..." There was equal blame on both sides of the loan papers to go around for this bailout mess.

The classic "Earth Day" Pogo cartoon about pollution mess still says it best for this "Wall Street" political mess too: "We have met the enemy and he is us." - Anyone got a mirror?

This movie is now on Time Warner Cable On Demand at No Charge.        It is a Must See -  Very Riveting!

Review Published: Friday, October 08, 2010, 8:30 AM

Greed is a nonpartisan issue.

Both parties are in favor of it.

That’s the most depressing thing you may take away from “Inside Job,” a documentary about the Wall Street meltdown and home-equity catastrophe of the last few years.

Political policies wax and wane. Candidacies catch fire, or flame out on the trail. Different people occupy the White House. And still, the rich get rich and the poor get furloughed.

Not much money, oh but honey — ain’t we got fun?

Well, maybe if you’re a Wall Street mogul, or a presidential “economic adviser” — which, for years, has pretty much meant the same thing. But for the rest of us saps? Tough luck.

“Inside Job,” a fairly opinionated — but mostly fair — nonfiction film, makes it all easy to understand.

Over the last 30 or 40 years, you see, Wall Street firms have become incredibly wealthy. Simultaneously, political campaigns have become incredibly expensive.

The result? You don’t even need to listen to Matt Damon’s weary narration. Just look at the parade of faces — the same faces — as a never-changing flock of vultures circling whomever is (nominally) in power.

The presidents — Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama — differ. The problems remain the same, as each executive rolls back even more restrictions, or simply turns the whole job over to Wall Street itself.

Movie Review

Inside Job
(PG-13) Sony Pictures Classics (120 min.)

Directed by Charles Ferguson. Narrated by Matt Damon. Now playing in New York.

Ratings note: The film contains some strong language and adult subject matter.
Stephen Whitty's review: THREE STARS

Director Charles Ferguson is very bright, and very angry, which makes for a riveting combination. He’s able to explain just how derivatives work (or don’t), and why bonus-blessed executives don’t have to worry about risky, bet-the-firm investments. Ferguson’s also happy to express frank, I-can’t-believe-you-just-said-that wonder when an interview subject plays dumb.

Unfortunately — if not surprisingly — none of the too-big-to-fail execs or permanent government gurus would sit down with him. Like Michael Moore, he mostly ends up talking to people he agrees with.

Also — although not nearly as egregiously as Moore — he’s too quick to blame our institutions, rather than us. After all, someone had to sign up for all those subprime loans and too-good-to-be-true investments; if there were no get-rich-quick schemers, there’d be no Ponzi schemes. Which is why “Inside Job” may be even more depressing than Ferguson realizes. 
He ends it with a call to action against the corporate profiteers, and a stirring shot of Lady Liberty lifting her beacon high. We can reform our stacked financial game if we only have the will, Damon intones.

Well, yes. If.

But if you think we’re going to get rid of political spinelessness, voter apathy and endless greed and ignorance anytime soon — well, give me a call. I’ve got this really amazing investment opportunity, and I’d love to get you in on the ground floor…

Obama + Muammar Gadaffi = OMG! ...The October Surprise!

طرابلس الغرب  (Tripoli, Libya)

Muammar Gaddafi - The 2011 OCTOBER SURPRISE!

By definition, in American political jargon, an OCTOBER SURPRISE is a news event with the potential to influence the outcome of an election, particularly one for the U.S. presidency. The reference to the month of October is because the Tuesday after the first Monday in November is the date for national elections. The term "October surprise" also has been used preemptively during campaign season by partisans of one side to discredit late-campaign news by the other side too.

So, why did the brutal dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, die in late October 2011 of this year?  Obama needed a real boost for his flagging 2012 Election poll numbers and orchestrated a terrorist's killing along with a U.S. Troops withdrawal from Iraq. This idea appears preposterous, but somehow could the Obama administration been scheming and plotting with the Iraqis to disengage our troops?  That scenario really is the farthest from the truth and sadly even shows further evidence that Obama has no understanding of the U.S. leadership roll in the influence or any consequences in foreign relations affairs. 
  

Obama in the White House Briefing Room

Not surprisingly at his public announcement it was not in the Rose Garden, but Obama instead chose to frame his U.S. Troops withdrawal announcement in the White House Press Room, the close-quarters arena, to talk to the news reporters that is usually reserved for "routine daily press briefings" and more important "all of the campaign rhetoric". Obama opened with, "As a candidate I promised that I would have a troop withdrawal...", which fulfills a promise Obama made on the campaign trail in 2008 while his remarks glossed over America's unpopularity in Iraq and his own administration’s failed efforts to sell the Iraqis on a troop extension. Obama, however, has never dropped his "Campaign Mode" while in office and now is off and running for the 2012 Election Campaign while failing to recognize any further security or defense risks ahead. 

Ironically now, Obama will be shifting gears away from a failed U.S. economy while touting his military prowess in going after high value targets, like Osama bin Laden and Muammar Gaddifi, while safely bringing our Iraq ground troops home, albeit both operations too prematurely withdrawn with dire repercussions ahead.

President Obama’s speech formally declaring that the last 43,000 U.S. troops will leave Iraq by the end of the 2011 year was designed to mask an unpleasant truth: The troops aren’t being withdrawn because the U.S. wants them out. They’re leaving because the Iraqi government refused to let them stay. The actual truth is that the Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government has already figured out the Obama politically planned timetable which leaves Iraq out in the cold to defend against neighboring countries and warring factions within its own borders.  

Lately, Iraq has been distancing itself from a current ineffectual U.S. President with no understanding of Arab or Muslim society and Middle East foreign policy while aligning itself very closely with Iran and Syria by strengthening their regional OPEC alliance in anticipation of the U.S. troop withdrawal. 

What a real Obama coup de grâce!  Obama has dealt the final blow in killing U.S. military and political influence in the region. Israel, it's time to see your enemies coming and start circling your wagons for the attack!

American Exceptionalism - A Chinese Lesson Learned

Beware - Viewer Discretion is Advised!!

Overview:  Don't let anyone believe the Chinese will overtake the United States in this 21st Century.  You ask why?...

Try answers like:  a zero growth public program with one birth per couple, an ever-aging old population, poor centralized medical care programs, unruly divided social classes, food shortages, out of control misguided central government resources allocations and the Internet that shows how other people around the world live without a totalitarian regime running their lives. 

Watch how a poor Chinese child gets run over and then run over again by two separate vehicles and people do nothing to help her ...Unbelievable behavior, but Understandable in China!

Footage is taken from a surveillance camera presented on local TV shows Yue Yue was walking in a hardware market in Foshan, Guangdong province, on Thursday, about 100 meters away from her home, when she was run over by a van at 5:26 pm.

The girl was then run over by a light-duty truck. The riders of four electric bicycles, a tricycle and three passers-by all chose to ignore her and no one at a shop close to the scene came to her aid.

Seven minutes after she was first hit by the van, a 57-year-old rag collector noticed the girl and moved her to the curb. The woman then tried talking to the shopkeeper but received no response. When she ran from shop to shop for the identity of the girl, the rag collector was told by a number of shopkeepers to mind her own business.

She then walked into the street and a few seconds later, the girl's mother appears and rushes away with the girl.

The girl received emergency surgery in Foshan before being transferred to the General Hospital of the Guangzhou Military Command of the People's Liberation Army in Guangzhou on the same day.

The incident is the latest example of passers-by acting indifferently to victims injured in crimes. In this case, some blamed the parents for letting the girl walk on the street alone. More criticized the phenomenon of people passing by without helping others in today's Chinese society, caused at least in part by previous extortion attempts from the injured persons and their families who have sometimes tried to blame the person helping them and then suing for injuries and continuing medical support.

Eunice Yoon, CNN Reporter, said:  "The Chinese Educational system has failed here in emphasizing the appreciation of human life while the people are clamoring for reaching out and up for a better life here in China." 

American Exceptionalism Lesson here: The Centralized Governmental School should be blamed for not instilling more compassion and caring into its citizens?  What about the parents' responsibilities? ...Oops!  This is a Godless society, under Confusion beliefs, ruled by atheistic Communists!

-------------- 16 / 10 / 2011 News Update --------------

Chinese authorities have supposedly have caught the first driver (the second is no worse in my opinion). "If she is dead, I may pay only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands yuan," said the driver over the phone to the media, before he gave himself up to the police.

The girl has been pronounced "brain dead" by doctors and remains on life support in intensive care. "She couldn't breathe on her own," said Wen Qiang, deputy director of the ICU department.  The most optimistic estimate is that the girl will remain in a vegetative state on life support.

Police have detained both drivers.

-------------- 17 / 10 / 2011 News Update --------------

"...doctors said the girl died yesterday from severe brain injuries she had suffered in the accident." - A BIG WHEW! ~ the driver pays only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125)!

Cross Hairs Report - Rural Councils - Agenda 21

Obama Executive Order 13575 

RURAL COUNCILS - U.N. Agenda 21

~ New World Order ~

Run Time: 6:00

More Obsessive, Compulsive, Government Disorder

On June 9, 2011 President Obama issued an all-encompassing executive order to establish a White House Rural Council that exerts full municipal powers over the food (crops, meats, etc.), fiber  (wood and natural resources), and energy production (water, oil, gas, solar, wind, bio-fuels and nuclear) of Rural America, the heartland. 

King Obama I

So, what is the point here? His Majesty, King Obama flexed his Executive Order again to circumnavigate the Senate and the House of Representatives. With not so much as a peep from any Congressman, the President ignored them and went about his Regal duties to do as he wished. The Constitutional Congressional power has been usurped once again by Obama.

What does this mean to you? The Federal Government, under Obama, has determined the free-market decisions made by private or individual enterprises about the upcoming economic opportunity in the heartland as it is shifting from a rural manufacturing culture to a service culture is unacceptable. A centralized government knows better, so President Obama will determine how much money and resources will be allocated into various sectors of the American heartland. Whoa!! ...Hello, Solyndra Solar Power here?  

New World Order Seal

Where does this unlimited mandate ultimately end?  Starting with the Environmental Protection Agency and other departments ad infinitum, the stifling governmental intrusion will exert tremendous economic hardships on business growth, employment and production output.  This program, by the way, is similar to the United Nations' Agenda 21 to establish a centralized planning agency that would be responsible into the oversight into all facets of our lives, a One World Order.  This type of centralized, socialistic administration is contrary to our Capitalistic system resulting into a cataclysmic societal collapse.  The New World Order a la European Union structure is being forged right now as Obama leads us on to it.
