As Greed Rises, Green Economy Looms

The only color that the American people should be concerned with right now is "green." As more of that color escapes the wallet, more and more talk abounds in Congress about how climate change is leading us towards a New International Order.
It is no accident that the recent financial collapse occured to coincide with the new President taking over.
We are entering an era of "change" and it will have some of the largest changes ever to the American system.
The financial collapse had to happen. That is the most important thing to understand. The people would never accept either the "new world order" or the next round of taxation on the American people without a crisis that would make them do so.
Now, the global elite will be able to sell their new economic order to the American people in the form of a "climate change" economy or a "green" economy.
The next round of financial instability will have several factors or soultions attached to it.
One is carbon taxation. The Obama administration is more than likely going to endorse legislation that will tax the American people on their carbon footprint, in other words, a tax on life or breathing
Then, there will come the one-chile policies as the globalist scientists have already stated that one main cause for Global Warming is that there are too many people having "too many children." There will be a tax instituted on parents who have more than a set number of children.
Next, the American people will be merged into the new economy after the collapse of the old one. Instead of going into total receivership for the never-ending national debt, the United States and the Citizens here will be given the option of buying carbon credits from the big banks.
This is all in their plans. This is in the paperwork of the global elite. I encourage all to go research it. Now is not the time to lay down and get discouraged. Millions can be woken up to these attempts to circumvent national sovereignty if we can expose them now. It might be too late in four years.

U.S. Invades Syria to Fight "Al Quaida"

The U.S. government and military took their "war on terror" to a new level today as they launched a raid in Syria which border Iraq.
What makes the military or anyone in the government think that it is alright to come across a soverign nation's border and lead an attack on people inside that border?
This is a very bold move for a military that has already worn out its welcome in Pakistan after a series of U.S. led raids inside its borders.

According to the article:
Syria has long been viewed by the U.S. as a destabilizing country in the Middle East, and in recent months Damascus has been trying to change its image and end years of global seclusion.

Do you see how the media tries to tell us that it is alright since the U.S. does not view Syria as a stable nation.
With John McCain promising decades of war in the Middle East and Barack Obama showing signs that he will continue our foreign policy against Pakistan and its neighbors, the U.S. should not gain any ground in the respect and likeableness departments in the next few years.

Fed Cuts Rate: How Low Will They Go?

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve went against my predictions of two weeks ago and cut rates rather than raised them. This time, they cut the key rate to a five year low of 1 percent. Now, the only questions that remain are, how low will Ben Bernanke go with these cuts, what does it mean for the dollar and will they eventually have to raise the key rate drastically?

Question 1:
There has been talk that Bernanke is willing to go below 1 percent on the rate. There was an article in the London Times two days ago that suggested the Bank of England was going to have to cut their rate to zero in order to hold off an inevitable depression.
My question to that is, what does it really matter once you've cut the interest rate to zero? The currency will be so inflated that it will be worthless by that point.
If the Federal Reserve and other Central Banks do go below 1 percent, that could only mean bad things for the real economy. It also means that at some point, the Federal Reserve is going to have to do one of two things which brings us to question 2.

Question 2:
What does all of this mean for the dollar? When discussing hyperinflation, many refer back to the early 1920's when the Weimar Republic was in its infant stages, and it eventually had to resort to printing massive amounts of currency to "save the economy." What it did was inflate the currency so that people found more use for the money in their fireplaces to heat their homes than they did when they went shopping. Cigarettes actually became a means of exchange in Germany during that time as a wheel barrow of German monies could not come close to buying one U.S. dollar.
What people don't realize about the Weimar depression is that depressions never happen withou monetary contraction of some sort.
In the case of 1920's Germany, the contraction happened in the form of lack of foreign money coming into the country. No one would lend to the "responsible" party of WWI. The chancelor said basically that one way or another, his people were going to get paid. So, he resorted to printing money so that his people could buy food. In the long run, it did not work.
Then, the French, who were not getting their war reporations from Germany at that point decided to occupy parts of Germany as colladeral on the reporations.
That is when the U.S. stepped in with the Young and the Dawes Plans.
The U.S. basically said that they would lend money to Germany, then Germany would pay war reporations to England and France. Then England and France could pay war debts to the United States. This became a vicious cycle.
What the U.S. did essentially was create a situation where they were the rug and Germany, France and England operated on top of the rug.
The only problem was that if anyone pulled the rug out from under them, the whole world would sink into a depression. Some six years later in late October 1929, the Federal Reserve did pull the rug out from under the operation when they raised interest rates and contracted a third of the money supply. This made the U.S. stop giving loans out and it made them begin to call in their old loans at the same time.
In other words, when it comes down to it, the central bank is going to protect its dollar. Eventually, they will have enough of the inflation, and they will contract a large sum of the money in circulation, and that will be the begining of the depression.
Another scenerio is that they allow the interest rates to fall to zero and they allow the dollar to crash. Then they will come on TV and tell the American people that we need to merge Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into a common currency in order to get us out of the hyperinflationary depression.
Where will the contraction be in that depression? We are already seeing the arificial contraction of money as banks continuously hoard money everyday from the American people. They can print it all day long, but if no one will lend it, it's the same as if it doesn't exist.

Question 3:
Right now, the latter I just mentioned about merging currencies is a long shot for the financial elite, but they do seem very bold right now.
They will try it eventually, but I don't know if it will be right now.
My guess is that sometime after the election, and quite possibly shortly after the new president takes his oath, the Federal Reserve will begin to raise interest rates, and they will go as high as they have gone low.
This will immediately cause unrest in the markets and on the streets, and we will see some of the most drastic changes in the American system we have ever seen.

Understanding the Current Slide In Oil Prices

http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/24/markets/oil/?postversion=2008102409

I was in a spirited debate with a cousin of mine last week over what has caused the fluctuation in the price of oil and gas over the past year or so. His argument was understandable, yet it had one fatal flaw. He was arguing that oil was going up and down because of supply and demand. Well, OPEC's recent decision to cut off oil supplies or production had much bearing according to the mainstream media on the price of oil. IT WENT DOWN even further. Supply and demand tells us that if there is less of something, then the price must go up.
The flaw in my cousin's argument is that he is arguing as if we are under supply and demand capitalist free market economy. We are not. The entire rise in the price of oil had little to do with the commodity's output, but rather it was being manipulated by the dollar.
In order to understand this, one must understand what happened to the dollar in the early 1970's under Richard Nixon.
When Nixon took us off of the Gold Standard so to speak, this allowed the dollar to become totally fiat and it allowed the printing presses to go hog wild. What the globalist bankers did not let us in on was the fact that they secretly put us on the Oil Standard. They began to manipulate the dollar with oil and vice versa.
The free market economy died in the early 1980's after a long decade of inflation, then a steep interest rate hike in the early part of the next decade. Then, the economy began and survives today off of bubbles created and manipulated through the currency.
Yes there is a supply and demand issue when it comes to the price of oil and gas, but it is more of a supply and demand of dollars, not the supply and demand directly related to the commodity itself.

Grennspan's There to Fool You-AGAIN

Alan Greenspan appeared before a Congressional Committee today to talk about what he knew regarding the financial crisis that has supposedly engulfed the nation.
Greenspan noted a "flaw" in his "free-market" approach to economic policy during his time as Chairman of the private corporation at the Federal Reserve.
The flaw that Greenspan refers to is exactly in line with what we have been predicting for quite some time. Greenspan's policies were certainly flawed during his tenure at the "Central Bank" but it was not free-market economics driving the economy.
The United States economy has been driven by artificial bubbles since the early 1980's when Paul Volcker subsequently destroyed the free-market through a series of interest rate hikes imposed supposedly to save us from the stagflation era.
From dotcom, to housing, to oil, to gold and now the dollar and food, these bubbles have been blown up and busted over and over.
Now Greenspan, the one worlder peddler in drag disguise is here to tell us that the free market did all of this. No it did not you traitor. Greenspan not only denounced his loyalty to the United States as soon as he retired from the Federal Reserve by accepting a key to the City of London and giving an oath to the queen, he has always owed his loyalties to the private banking families who wish to destroy American soverignty and set up their "utopian" empire run by them, and for them.

I love humor more than anything

Welcome to Down in the Flood. This blog was created at the request of a Mr. Berg who said that my rants would sound great in a blog format. Now I am not sure yet whether my rants on facebook and myspace as popular or whether this is a concerted effort to hoist me to the far reaches of the world wide web. Whatever it may be, I do feel less restricted here.
I just want to say that I love humor more than anything. If I had my choice of whether I could do what Stephen Colbert does or what Bill O'Reilly does, I would take Colbert any day plus some. O'Reilly is a soulless #@%!@##.
Anyways, enjoy everything here. You will get a variety from news, political commentary, to humor.
Never take yourself or things so serious that you cannot laugh at them.
