Tragedy of Newspaper Debt
Recently many newspapers in the United States have declared they are going to declare bankruptcy or stop printing. Should they completely go out of existence, this will be a major loss if not properly handled. I am speaking to their archives. The New York Times archives I study extensively for news of World War 1 that I can not get from history books or elsewhere online (although I study the archives online) and this reservoir now faces an uncertain fate as their maintainers go under. For the sake of historical value, these archives should be purchased and maintained by a historical society, or for those companies struggling without hope, generously donated to libraries or museum collectors in the United States to preserve the perspectives of old. I say this in all seriousness, please make a plea to preserve these archives of our past. These old newspaper clippings and articles contain our mistakes, our successes of the past, and maybe if we keep them around long enough we can take the time to learn from them.

Religion: Through The Ages
Alright, Rome, Greece, pre-Judaism faith from Norse mythology to Myan isolated beliefs in Central America, all had many numerous gods and tales of those gods to not only inspire, but give something to pray to. With temples to gods providing power to those who donated to that god, their system was one of, miracle or theft, but the theft had to be kept hidden in night so the gods took them, instead of a shaman or thief or whatever you wish to call it. The the myths of their heros gave power to people to know what to do in all situations. The power was controlled by the believer, as they recieved the inspiration. The gods called for heroics, and the people delivered. This changed in monotheism, in which god inspired good will to achieve for those who were powerful: whether it be the Crusaders or Muslim warriors, the power went from the people and the god, to the religious hierarchy in the middle. Now, the power of belief was wielded by a man, who controlled the belief of his flock. This is where we are today. Myths were the foundations of religious in the past, but today they are led by personal stories from the believers, or a book to which interpretation is left to man. Look who has the power. The power of faith is now told by enrollment to summer camps where the doctrine is studied, the donations to a 'charitable' organization on the day of worship in a building selected as being holy by, wait for it, the ones who own the building. Religious icons provided the proper place of prayer in old days, now they are in the hands of the organized religion, and held to secrecy unless a proper fee is made. A muslim will most likely not be given access to the Shroud of Tourin. Just saying. So, look to the modern religions and think about what the religion tells you in your heart, and what the people who claim to speak for god are telling you. Make up your own MIND. God in fact gave you one if you believe in him. So USE IT like he intended. Don't be a sheep. Be the shepherd of your life, and have no person tell you otherwise.

My Observance in Poetry
They all called for change, and end to the same
Yet they now smile away even though its not different
They still have monthly payments
There still isn't legal detainment
Roads are crumbling from lack of pavement
And our children are still in reckless endagerment
By the government or the people?
Whose responsible?
All of these things go on and on
They are still treated like pawns
The water is gone away from their lawns
But everything is fine because color has changed
Who cares about ties or being deranged?
That guy is gone now we have more of the same....
Don't like what I say then look away
I'm here to stay not going away
I'll throw you into the fray
Let you know what I know every single day
That our healthcare and welfare and continued warfare
Aren't changing anytime soon
Because our economy was built like a balloon
Now its popped and falling fast
Nothing can inflate it
Only our media can seem to rate it
By number of viewers on their horror shows
They tell us of blow after blow
In this war against the middle class
Its happening fast
Yet this is going to last
We'll fall and fall without an end
But wait, we don't need a god send
We'll get through without some faith
We just need to shift who we hate
Those with such corporate greed
Hate those who took more than they need
Yet look away from the union bosses,
mandatory pay from your wages
give you some unwanted losses
but look away to give business your rages
Ignore the drug lords you fund too
They give "immigrants" a chance just like you
They deserve to work with you too
Thats right, we know your a fool
Which is why we still poison your food
I know you won't like it but it is true
Yet they now smile away even though its not different
They still have monthly payments
There still isn't legal detainment
Roads are crumbling from lack of pavement
And our children are still in reckless endagerment
By the government or the people?
Whose responsible?
All of these things go on and on
They are still treated like pawns
The water is gone away from their lawns
But everything is fine because color has changed
Who cares about ties or being deranged?
That guy is gone now we have more of the same....
Don't like what I say then look away
I'm here to stay not going away
I'll throw you into the fray
Let you know what I know every single day
That our healthcare and welfare and continued warfare
Aren't changing anytime soon
Because our economy was built like a balloon
Now its popped and falling fast
Nothing can inflate it
Only our media can seem to rate it
By number of viewers on their horror shows
They tell us of blow after blow
In this war against the middle class
Its happening fast
Yet this is going to last
We'll fall and fall without an end
But wait, we don't need a god send
We'll get through without some faith
We just need to shift who we hate
Those with such corporate greed
Hate those who took more than they need
Yet look away from the union bosses,

My State of the Union
President Obama was just give a normal speech to Congress last night. It was in no way a State of the Union. Ahem, if it was a state of the union, it might have talked about healthcare, and education, and energy, and our wars (he mentioned them twice I think). Oh, well then its just a new standard I suppose. Yup, he gave a State of the Union almost a year early. Woo. Oh, and he said that he was glad "That Congress passed the stimulus bill without earmarks". Lets start this off with my State of the Union message which also won't be the real State of the Union. There were over nine thousand earmarks in the stimulus bill. Weed is going to be legalized not to end a failing policy, but raise tax revenues. Abortion is all but being banned without a Constitutional amendment. Washington D.C. is going to gain Senate and House of Representatives seats with a promise that Idaho gets one more House of Representative Seat if they support their gain, all without a Constitutional amendment. Gun rights are being banned, against the Constitution. Marriage between two people is selective in who can marry who, some of this selective treatment is part of several state Constitutions. We have a president elected on premise of affirmative action. Our nation is in a depression. Deflation is the only way to get out of this. We will face 20% unemployment until 2012 when it will begin to recover (apocalypse theorists, shut up already and try to help out instead of being gloom and doom, 2000 came a went, 2012 will come and go as well, we might not be better off than before, but we will still exist) and the global downturn is making one superpower a regular contender with Europe, Russia, China, India all rising to a five tier power struggle for global supremacy as globalization is seen as a failure. Many smaller nations will resist flooding influence of these nations, with their own personal stockpiles of nuclear weapons. A nuclear war has not happened. To clarify, nuclear weapons have been used, only twice, it was not a nuclear war. A nuclear war is a war in which nuclear weapons become the primary weapon of choice in defeating your enemy, or, vaporizing your enemy. Our education, healthcare, social security, welfare, college funding, medical research funding, overall technology advancement funding across all fields, and inrfastructure, and alternative energies funding is going to increase. Meanwhile, somehow, our taxes and deficit will decrease. The only place left to cut would be the military budget, which funds the military, which has won the United States all but three wars in which one was a retreat, one was a stalemate, and the War of 1812 which was an outright defeat and foolish war to begin with. However, the military has won every war, yes, I include Iraq, we won, Iraqis haven't taken over this country is the sign that we won. Had we lost, Saddam might be a superpower of the middle east, or later by a month Al Qaeda might be taking over the world by now had we lost. We need the military. End of story. My real State of the Union will be tomorrow's blog, and my previous blog was a challenge by a friend to write a blog without using the letter e, so I did. Now that you know what annoys me, I will provide my State of the Union tomorrow, and then my solutions to these problems one by one every day. If there is a particular complaint, whether it is DHS, taxes, bailouts, immigration, or anything that annoys you, please write a response to this and tell me what it is. If the nation isn't going to advocate for itself, I might as well do it for you, for free. That is right, I will be a lobbyist, for the people, like it is supposed to be. Thank you for reading, hope you respond, meow.
As I am writing this without a particular non-consonant that follows D, I find that I am in fun fun land of confusion as I try to fill in lost days for this blog. I would say sorry in a formal way, but without this non-consonant I am at a loss for that ability. I will do this without my bff non-consonant that follows D. So, onward this train will go! As for clock hand motion lost in this tragic loss of non-consonant that follows D, I will go on without saying sorry. You do not know how hard it is to do this without non-consonant that follows D, as many of our politicians contain non-consonant that follows D in that birth-right of an actual NAM with non-consonant that follows D at its final jot down. So, all things looking as if I actually thought about it, this blog will find many shorts in its painful path as I try to foward this gravy train of thought. So, this was hard to say as is, and tomorrow I will talk of much improvision in this not with a dictation of how I can't do this without that non-consonant that follows D. Thank you for showing up. Wuff.

Guns, Courts, And An 11 Year Old
I've seen a news story throughout the day about an 11 year old boy shooting his pregnant step mother with a shotgun he got for Christmas because he did not like his father's new girlfriend (the step mother.) This 11 year old is going to be charged as an adult in the court system. First of all the crime is severe. However the criminal is not over 16 and thus should automatically not be charged as an adult. Make whatever security arangements necessary. They say they need to charge him as an adult because he would need to be seperated from the general population of a juvenile facility. I will simply point out that you will need to isolate him in a prison facility as well, considering that some of the inmates are pedophiles and shower time would probably not be a good experience for this boy. I understand his crime is severe. However, this could have been prevented with a bit of common sense by the father. A message to everyone who reads this and the nation that I love as a whole: don't buy your kids guns. If you do, please lock them away until you are there to supervise their use of them, especially if they are under the age of 16. That is just a given. Some common sense is required. The reason this is common sense is because his anger and frustration is nothing new. These shootings that we complain about in this 'new era' come not from new anger or hatred, but new access. Guns are no more commonplace, in fact they are harder to get through the legal process. However, it is the lack of proper storage and common sense when it comes to children and the mentally unstable that are creating this new era of gun violence that is shown in the media. The gang violence is still much subdued for some reason, maybe a fear of being called racists. Anyhow, these shootings come from people who have the same repressed feelings as anyone else. A kid who loses his mother or father to any issue, most painful being death and divorce, will hold resentment and anger either towards whoever fulfils the role if unwanted, or towards the one who caused him to be removed from the family situation they hold, commonly the father, sometimes the mother too in a divorce. These feelings are nothing new. It isn't the games, it isn't the music, its the lack of selling boxes with padlocks with every gun. Remove the extra taxes, take away the "ban gun" initiatives, sell secure cases for guns with the gun. Make the secure box mandatory with every sale. Maybe in extreme places, such as Illinois and California, allow random checks on those boxes by a once a year task force to check up on those. If they are not being maintained, remove the weapon from the household and revoke the lisence. Now, the kid should be punished, as a kid. The guns should be secured in households across the country from those who are not capable of handling them properly. This has been another episode of the ravings of a madman. Thank you for reading.

I Stand Alone Until Proven Otherwise
I'm not a saint. Don't claim to be. I do however, have my own crusade in which I oppose drugs and reckless sex. Now, reckless sex is unsafe and while having more than one partner at the same time. Majority will agree that is bad and should be avoided. Drugs, majority will agree its bad and should be avoided. However, the number drops when it comes to two things which I include in drugs. Tobacco, which a slim majority would oppose, and then alcohol. Alcohol, I lose a person's agreement every time when it comes to alcohol. I understand its a major part of not just American, but world history, but I also understand its harmful effects, as well as the harm the other things cause as well. I see the harm they cause. The suffering, pain, anger, remorse caused by them onto not only the person who takes the drug, but the people around them who are devastated by witnessing an addict, or an alcoholic, or have to choke on someone's cigarette. I can get people to agree on one or two, but alcohol and marijuana, (cannabis for you Europeans and technical kind) always end up as the sticking point in getting support for something I wish would happen. I would appreciate to see them banned. Outlawed. Illegal. Out of society completely, not by government mandate, but by society placing a limit. It rarely happens these days but we need it or this world will continue to spin out of control. Thank you for reading.

Afghanistan Comparisons
I keep hearing comparisons of the miserable failure that was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to our current occupation of Afghanistan. They say the Russian's couldn't do it with 160,000 troops, we can't do it with roughly 60,000. They say we don't have the support of the people and neither did they. There is one similarity which I will discuss near the end though, and I'll keep it a secret for now. First lets talk about the troop numbers. We have fewer men there. Can't deny that. They are however, the best trained, equiped, mobile, and skillful soldiers in the world. The Soviet army was of regular soldiers, ill equiped, had a faltering air support, and also had major political pressure back home. The skill was not as great as that of our current forces. Our air force has uncontested supremacy. The Soviets had to face weapons we gave the Mujahideen to fight the Soviet airforce but I'll get to that later. Our forces have the full backing of the military and government of the United States. The home support might be faltering, but not that much to be noticable in public policy. Our troops have the best, and if any army can do it in Afghanistan, ours can and WILL. As for the support of the people, the Soviets had no support. They didn't even get help by many on their way in. We toppled the Taliban with 300 troops in coordination with the Northern Alliance. Only 300 and we toppled the entire regime of the Taliban making them run into Pakistan where they now have refuge. The Soviets did not have the support of the people. In response, they destroyed entire villages in retribution for their lack of victory against the Mujahideen. Our air strikes are limited, and most of them are successful. However, in many cases civilians are claimed among the dead instead of militant fighters. I believe there is distortion of the facts in many cases. I believe we do kill the militants in these airstrikes, the problem is the militants are attacking us from their homes or in the middle of civilian areas making airstrikes a difficulty in avoiding civilian casualties. The solution is not to kill fifteen civilians and one militant in the airstrike. The solution is to stop the airstrikes with 100% certainty and allow those fifteen civilians to join the police force and operate on the ground so our troops don't have to, and we won't have to rely on air strikes anymore. Now, there is a similarity between the two wars. The Mujahideen was supported by the United States with weapons. The Taliban is supported by Russia and Iran with weapons. Kalishnakov rifles and Dragon Mines are among the weaponry used by the insurgents we face. The military victory is indeed possible, however we can achieve this as soon as we get Iran and Russia to stop their support of the fighters we face. The weapons the enemy uses are given to them. We stop their supply, they stop fighting. Its that easy. This similarity stands out as almost forgotten by the public eye. Maybe they've never learned this reality. The news doesn't want to admit it because we would have a diplomatic souring with our "Democratic Russian" allies. However, its true, and the sooner people learn this the sooner our policy makers can address this. Hillary Clinton can tell Obama all about the KGB in Putin's eyes when they talk about the weapons the Taliban are using. Maybe then he'll believe it. Until we make these changes, we are stuck there until we figure out what to do with our current tactics.
Venezuela and World War 3
In the past year this South American belligerent against the United States has expelled United States ambassadors, encouraged other nations to do so as well, almost gone to war with Columbia with Ecuador, and signed nuclear deals with Iran and Russia, and allowed Russia's military to conduct operations in their waters in coordination with their own armed forces in a scenario which pitted Red forces against Blue forces in a mock invasion of Venezuela. Now recently the latest to expel our ambassadors has been Ecuador, kicked two out within a week. Now the second one didn't even have time to start his job, nevermind interfere in the affairs of Ecuador's government as they claim he did. I know Obama wants to try to give diplomacy a chance, however if they don't want diplomacy, why do we keep sending diplomats just to have them kicked out? Why waste the money to buy the plane ticket? Another item on the chain, why do we keep spending money for them to stop drug production when they keep producing drugs despite funding military forces to shut down such production? I believe one could say the better placement of our funds would be on our borders to prevent the drugs from getting into this country. The countries supportive of the United States efforts against drugs like Columbia, Brazil, and Mexico should continue to get our support (Mexico is a special case in which I would negotiate a military intervention in their civil war considering the paramilitary drug cartels are killing Americans as deep in our territory as Pheonix). However, if they don't want our support and call us imperialists and our presidents the devil, you know I'm talking about you Hugo, maybe we should stop funding their police divisions which protect their nation's facilities against drug gangs and allow their military units to be able to have the weapons necessary to fight them when the drug cartels do come out of hiding. Hugo Chavez wants a South America without the United States involved, lets give him what he wants. Lets stop buying his oil. Lets sanction his nuclear program like we do his close buddy Iran, who he says if we attack will mean a war with Venezuela. Thats right. They have a pact. If the United States goes to war with Iran, Venezuela will declare war on the United States. Now, you may say whats wrong with an alliance? Well, the last three times a major worldwide system of alliances formed, we had three world wars. World War 1, World War 2, and Cold War. In the first two Germany was the enemy. In the third Russia was the enemy. In the first World War we made Germany face punishment which drove the hatred that caused the second world war. Now that the third world war is over, and Russia was punished with a lack of involvement by the Western nations, was allowed to disentigrate as a people who, although different, were Russian. The independance of nations following their collapse is not wrong to have happened, the lack of interest in Russia's stability immediately following the collapse was a mistake. Now, we face another world war. Iran is leading the call for war, but Russia is the only power in this alliance that would make the war a possibility. Its the wildcard as its nuclear arsenal would not be used in conventional conflict, but if it can have Iran and Venezuela (who is also helping Bolivia and Ecuador develop nuclear technology) be reckless in using them against the United States and our allies directly in limited amounts, our standard MAD would be restricted, because their nuclear arsenal would be limited to the damage already done, and using further nuclear weapons would face reprisal from Russia, thus resulting in MAD, but they could make the bet that we would not put such an even into action unless the stockpile of Russian nukes were to be used, in which case MAD would still apply. The strategy of the third world war will be grand. It will be the first World War in which at least two of the major fronts will be conducted with guerilla warfare as the primary tactic of Iran and Venezuela. Russia may go more conventional, feeling its role as leader of the alliance will give it the better position to use tactics above those of its lesser allies, making them subservient after the conflict to Russia's leadership in the new world. However the war turns out, that will be part of the strategy employed. This has been another episode of the Ravings of a Madman. Thank you. Meow.

Stone in my Hand re-written
Side with Micheal Moore, lie about the war
I got no job, ain't got no money
I got no militia, ain't got no land,
Ain't got nothing but the words in my head
You say you want a revolution, well get on board
We'll start a new crusade; we'll start a holy war
Don't need no orders, don't need no plan
I don't need nothing but the Constution in my heart
You legalize your weed, you pay your union bosses
You kill our economy, you merge our nations
You ignore our laws, and our freedoms and our religion
Still I'm fighting with the freedoms I still have
Words in my head, Constitution in my heart
Still I'm fighting with freedoms I still have
Taxes that I pay only work against me
All the love that's in my heart keeps me fighting for what I had
Illegals jump the borders, gunbattles fill the streets of LA
Every son that suffers, every mother cries
So if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand
I'll be waiting with the thoughts that will change and defy
I got no job, ain't got no money

Free the Sahrawi Democratic Republic
This is an odd moment in my life. I have often looked to rebellions in negative ways. Seen them as breaking the order. I of course have a modern viewpoint. Colonialism is one in which I believe uprising and rebellion was necessary, that's how the United States came into being. I've looked to the Tamil Tigers, Laurent Nkunda, the ICU followed by Al Shabaab and observed the destruction in their purpose. They fight for their people, but are just as quick to kill their own as the opposing forces. However, in practice the Polisario Front fought a war in standard warfare. It had to fight underground against two nations, however civilians for the large part were spared. Their constitution lays the groundwork for a nation with a multi-party democracy and a free market economy. This is why it is an odd moment in my life. Few rebel movements that I have seen have looked at the situation they have, and stated that when their fight is over they will drop power and become a political party or disband once their freedom is achieved. I've rarely seen an open commitment to such a nation during the rebellion. They have the groundwork for a peaceful, democratic, free nation and the world is allowing Morocco, a considerably neutral nation towards us, to prevent this free nation from forming in the middle of a desert. My problem with the issue is why would Morocco, with the primary civilized and wealthy areas in the North, fight so much for a barely sustainable southern region? Polisario condemns terrorism and sent condolences to the families victim to the 2003 Casablanca terrorist attacks. They want independance, not bloodshed or revenge. Just their freedom. Meanwhile they face the Moroccan army. Morocco put the effort and the skills of an army nearly the size of the entire Sahrawi population at work preventing them from crossing a wall that stretches from North to South in the Western Sahara. Walls that divide people must be brought down. Reagan told us this. Germany was a clear example of why walls that seperate people must be torn down. (North Korea, shut up the wall is in your own territory unmanned by anyone and you can tear the fifty year old relic don if it makes you happy. Just stop lying about us using it to seperate the Korean people, you shut down the railroad and limit the number of visitors into your country every year. Anyway.) Yes, allow the Sahrawi Republic to be formed. Buy off Morocco if you have to. Two free, cooperating nations are better than two bitterly entrenched warring neighbors. I plead for the world to recognize this and act upon it.

Episode of Distraction 1
Now already I've broken the promise to write a blog every single day. This is because for two days I had no ideas of what to write. Well, for days that I have nothing to write, I will detail, piece by piece, a game. A new game. A board game. Yes a board game. A new board game. Since I refuse to post pictures on this blog, I will have to explain it with words. This means I will make this a simple, yet exceedingly complex game as I run out of ideas. If I finish figuring out what the game rules are, I will then detail strategy. So lets begin the game with two squares. Simple, four sided, connecting at one of the sides. They are right next to each other. One is standard blue, the other is standard red. The standard blue represents a single soldier for side A. The standard red represents one soldier of side B. You roll two dice. Standard 1-6 sided dice. Whoever has the higher number goes first. The objective is to take over the board. The person who goes first can either stay, or move forward. If they chose to move forward, they roll the dice. If they tie or get above the other person's dice, they move forward. Thus, they win. If not, they stay put. Then the opponent chooses. Same rules apply until there is a victor. This has been an Episode of Distraction. Thank you for coming. Meow.

List of WW3 Enemies
I see a series of alliances forming in the world against the United States. In these alliances of the world I see four nations leading the pack.
1. Russia
2. Iran
3. Venezuela
4. China
I see the following nations being part of the alliance by affiliation to one or more of these nations.
V- Venezuela C-China I-Iran R-Russia, simple enough so lets go.
1. Syria I R C
2. Lebanon I
3. Ecuador V I R
4. Peru V
5. Bolivia V
6. Honduras V R
7. Nicaragua V R
8. Cuba V R I C
9. North Korea C
10. Serbia R
11. Somalia I
12. Pakistan C I R
13. Belarus R
14. Abkhazia R
15. South Ossetia R
Then you have other nations unaffiliated but they hate the United States anyway.
1. Zimbabwe (Power sharing must work for me to revise this.)
2. Somalia (Instability causes breeding ground for radical Islamists.)
3. Mexico (If government loses civil war.)
4. Vietnam (If not taken over by China.)
5. Chile (If ties with Cuba and Venezuela continue to strengthen.)
6. Myanmar (Monks. Enough said.)
7. Libya (Minor player at the moment, but one of the most powerful African states led by Pan-Am bomber Gadaffi. Gadaffi holds African Union presidency this rotation. The agenda of removing opposition is in direct conflict to our promotion of democracy.)
8. Kazakstan, other Central Asian countries (More trade, money, and promises from Russia, their former rulers during the Soviet era, than anyone else.)
The way to deal with this system I am not an expert on. I however do have the eyeballs to see this alliance forming. I urge you all to look at the connections of nuclear programs and scientists in the world. Then look at all weapon sales of basic rifles such as AK-47, Kalishnakov (?) Rifles, and other assault weaponry. This alliance is forming, and it doesn't like us.
1. Russia
2. Iran
3. Venezuela
4. China
I see the following nations being part of the alliance by affiliation to one or more of these nations.
V- Venezuela C-China I-Iran R-Russia, simple enough so lets go.
1. Syria I R C
2. Lebanon I
3. Ecuador V I R
4. Peru V
5. Bolivia V
6. Honduras V R
7. Nicaragua V R
8. Cuba V R I C
9. North Korea C
10. Serbia R
11. Somalia I
12. Pakistan C I R
13. Belarus R
14. Abkhazia R
15. South Ossetia R
Then you have other nations unaffiliated but they hate the United States anyway.
1. Zimbabwe (Power sharing must work for me to revise this.)
2. Somalia (Instability causes breeding ground for radical Islamists.)
3. Mexico (If government loses civil war.)
4. Vietnam (If not taken over by China.)
5. Chile (If ties with Cuba and Venezuela continue to strengthen.)
6. Myanmar (Monks. Enough said.)
7. Libya (Minor player at the moment, but one of the most powerful African states led by Pan-Am bomber Gadaffi. Gadaffi holds African Union presidency this rotation. The agenda of removing opposition is in direct conflict to our promotion of democracy.)
8. Kazakstan, other Central Asian countries (More trade, money, and promises from Russia, their former rulers during the Soviet era, than anyone else.)

My Bailout Proposal
Its back. Thats right. We are having another global depression. Some are saying it is already worse than in the 1930s. With the George Bush stimulus checks, the numerous bailouts, and the current Congressional bill along with the Treasury Secretary's proposal, we are looking at, in the course of less than a year, an increase of the federal deficit of around 4 trillion dollars. I'd give you an exact figure, but they don't have one.
So, lets look at what caused the financial collapse. A person observing the daily monitored news reports covering the housing market would be a big clue as to what caused it. The default of millions of sub-prime loans by people unable to pay for the loan, and the credit default swaps (when insurance companies were insuring the loans to the banks, to more than just the bank that owned it. That is right, you can't take out life insurance on your neighbor, but some companies were letting your neighbor take out insurance on your home loan. This was done in the hundreds of billions of dollars range for insurance. Insurance companies wanted more sub-prime mortgage loans because they wanted to sell more insurance. Banks wanted to give out more loans to get more payments on the interest. Then the third group, the ones who bought the insurance on the loan that wasn't theirs, wanted more because they got to collect if any of them failed (by collect, I mean not just $150,000 on a home loan, a bundle of failed loans worth 10 or 20 billion dollars.) Now, how did the insurance companies profit from this, all you had to do to get the loan insurance (credit default swaps just to clarify) was make a 10 percent down payment. Then it was yours. The bank had a billion dollars on a ten billion dollar insurance, which had never failed in history as a major investment on the whole. It was almost the safest possible investment one could make. At that point it is in your best interest as a third party owner of the loan insurance, to make the home loan fail. So you encourage, through corporate lobbying, not in Congress, but in CEO board rooms at the central bank, the 1 percent sub-prime rate to change after a while not from 1 to 5, or 6 as originally, it goes up to 16, 20, or 25 percent. So a monthly payment goes from 300 or 400 dollars to 1000 overnight. In observance, the inflated middle class becomes lower class yet again, thus sparking a nice class warfare, which I'll talk about again in another blog.
So, person goes bankrupt or their house forecloses, and they are out of a home. The bank loses the loan but the insurance is going to replace the losses. Now, a bank taking out the insurance isn't an issue. Ten people claiming the ten billion dollar insurance on a package of defaulted home loans, the insurance company doesn't have that much money. This is why AIG collapsed. AIG insured these loans, and when the groups they insured came to them, there were too many claims and not enough money. So when that happens, the bank is out, the insurer is out, the others who paid for the insurance are out, and the homeowner is out of a home. Gloriously out of this immense stupidity, very few are going IN to a court room. The groups who write our laws have hopefully, but I've yet to see it, outlawed such a practice.
Now, the fallout goes all the way around and the homeowners, numbering in the tens of millions, are out of homes and bankrupt. The banks are out of money. So when the former homeowner, now in small apartment hopefully, if not they are buying their home in the car lot, goes to buy a car, they have a horrible credit rating, and the bank has nothing to led, so the car can not be purchased. This reigns true for all major purchases. Thus the car industry is also failing. Now we get to the government remedies. The government gives people a stimulus check in the mail. They are hoping the people will buy the big purchases with their stimulus check. Instead, the government forget that everyone still had their massive debt and those that didn't were afraid to let go of their cash. So, most people paid their bills or put it in the bank. Now, you would think this might help the banks, but it wasn't enough. However, the housing market is still crashing. It didn't work. The banks are still losing money and people are still losing homes. Companies are starting to make lay offs because of the lost buyers. Thats when an idea to save the banks comes into view about six months later, passed two months after that.
So lets save the banks. Banks get help they can loan more to people so cars, refridgerators, wedding rings, platypuses (platypi? Plat PLUS?) and other great stuff keeping those industries alive. So they put 400 billion into the banking system. I'd tell you how, where, or when but in all honesty, nobody knows. The government didn't keep track. The oversight groups were too busy raising fists over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The banks were too busy losing more money than they were getting because, yet again the failure of this attempt, the homes were still foreclosing. So the banks are still in rough shape. The companies are announcing even greater layoffs than before. So, now we come to the current and proposes stimuli.
So lets save the companies. Construction is shutting down because people can't afford new homes considering their losing their jobs. Their losing their jobs because the company they work for isn't finding enough customers. So the proposed bill here is to provide a customer (the United States of America government) for the construction companies and any company really. They are buying a new fleet of cars for their staff, not senators, but the senators STAFF. Hey its ok, they are flex fuel vehicles after all which will be in another blog down the road. So the bill goes on and on through a month of painful deliberation, partisanship, campaign hard feelings by the Democrats (they claim Republican's hate it because they lost the election, we hate it for the reason's I'm outlining here) and at the end of the day when this goes through it will not help the mortgage industry. However, four jobs for a month building a tennis court is going to save the nation right? For a recovery bill, it isn't going to help people RECOVER their homes. Then ontop of it we get an announcement for 1.5 trillion dollars (potential for 2 trillion) to be the NEXT stimulus bill.
This new bill is supposed to be a "comprehensive bank bail-out". Basically we are bailing the bank out yet again, but this time we are going to know where the money goes. I'd tell you more about its effects, but we've seen its effects in the past bank bail out. We might not know where it went, but we know it went to the banks one way or the other. This will be the same way, but we'll know which banks get it and which don't. Won't that be lovely. Also, this one is bigger than that one was. Why? The banks need more. They've been neglected by the debate over the current stimulus. The homes are still going under and their bank rolls are running out. People are still losing their homes. Which is why I will now outline my proposal.
Pay off all the home loans in the country. People keep their homes, and get more money every month to flush into the economy as always without worrying about losing their home, banks get their money and can loan for cars and colleges again, then the ripple goes through the rest of the economy. Now was that so difficult to figure out? Congress? You reading this? Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm a citizen and you're kinda sorta supposed to listen to me. I may not have voted for you, but the least you could do is represent me. Anyone else reading this, tell me what you think. This blog isn't just a blog, its interactive.

Human Rights
In order to give you all the opportunity to respond to my blog, I'll keep presenting things for a short while here at the start of this project to compel a written reaction to the post. This is as much about you as it is about the blog. So today I'll list what could be a list of human rights for which all laws, in a utopia of sorts, would protect. After all, isn't declaring that people have rights just a signal for your judicial system to create laws to protect those rights? Well here is my list:
1. Every person has the right to not be owned by anyone else.
2. Every person has the right to freedom of speech.
3. Every person has the right to punish as person for harming them.
4. Every person has the right to the opportunity to private property.
5. Every person has the right to not have their life taken without necessity.
6A. Every person has the right to choose how their life will be lived.
6B. Every person does not have the right to choose how their life will end.
7. Every person has the right to presumed innocence in the court of law.
8A. Every living thing has the right to not be harmed unless a necessity of survival.
8B. Every person has the right to harm a species that is not as evolved as him if it is a threat to his survival or that of family, friends, property, ect...
8C. Every person has the right to kill any species not as evolved as him for game after approval from government.
9. Every person has the right to privacy on their own property unless privacy is used in violation of other people's rights.
10. Every person has the right to be active in their government.
1. Every person has the right to not be owned by anyone else.

God
Nobody believes in a god the day they are born. God is a fact, or a lie, that we teach our kids. A=B=C and A+B=C is a lie. 1+1=2 is a fact. Algebra is a lie. Religion is a lie. Math is a fact. Language is a reality. Governments are as we see them; not as we want them; not as they are. God has been taught only by others. God has never been found by someone alone. Communism is not a type of government. It is a political thought. It is a wish. It is impossible or a lie as the final stage. Humans will be humans. Communism will become anarchy. Then tribalism will start again. The cycle is unstoppable. Globalization will need Mars to prevent Socialism. God is not a reality. God is a lie. God is a thought. A thought by one person accepted by many. A thought never forgotten since its beginning. A thought that represents hope. It holds hope to its existence. It holds people hostage to lies. God does not speak. God has never spoken. God has been lied about. If we need God back in this country, have God tell us so. Have God speak to us all. Not one person. Not one man. Have God send himself. Show himself. Prove himself real. End the hatred over his existance. End the violence over his words. End the differences to his name. God is a lie until God exists.
Big Announcement
Now would be a great time to make some grand comparison of how life is like apples and oranges, but alas, too bad for you. I could discuss how life in all its infinite splendor is pointless and repetitive from every second of our lives to that of those after us, but I'm too tired. Instead I've got a small little idea wandering around the abyss that is, right no grand comparisons. Ahem. I've got an idea. I'll be writing, every single day of my life from now on until I decide not to, a blog posting on this very little space of mine. I'll cover very important topics like current issues, world war 4 (3, 5, who's able to keep track anymore?), world religions, and my own little life. I know, not very important, but if I get bored of the usual tandem I'll write, write, write to my very dead end. Which leads me to this moment where I tell you that you now know what my big announcement is. I've tossed back and forth the idea for a while, and thought of making my own little unknown blog on some website like google. So, now you know, enjoy. The first post of the rest of my blog will follow this, in which I destroy the existance of God. Enjoy.
