After the recent French Presidential Election, I gave serious thought to re-posting a piece which I first wrote on Monday, May 07, 2011. But, in considering this, I became much more intent to first write a multi-part series to a preface before re-posting this year-old post. 

Therefore, the post below is the forth (4th) part this five-part series. The addition of the 4th piece to the preface is simply one more piece of this growing project’s compilation.

I look forward to it soon becoming a completed preface once it is joined with the 5th and final part.

As such, I look forward to re-posting the original blog chronicled above.

In keeping with the consideration of the spirit of each of the series parts; I believe that the original 2011 post is more significant today than when I originally posted it.

 

The title of the original post from 2011 is, ““The Fate of the Wait; The Cost of the Lost.”

Re:  On Building an alert National Mindset.

 

Disgruntled by the 2008 economic crisis, the ensuing economic downturn  severely threatened to hamper and diminish Washington’s ability to fulfill its already stressed and stretched means by which it deals with the delivery of its obligatory socially mandated programs.

And just like Greeks taking to the streets …Obama became the chosen go-to-guy …the liberal social camp’s hopes for the Democratic party.

Once called upon to lead his party, Obama chose to react to the stresses of the the economic downturn which represented urgent fiscal impositions  on the very quilt and fabric …not all that unlike that of a scale akin with those imposing upon the Greek social quilt. However, Obama’s call to his party’s choice was in response to a crisis …one that is of an American making …not too disimilar though in nature, character and spirit.

Seen as a response to a shrinking GDP which threaten social mandates; the perspectives to the liberal perception in all that could …would and should move America forward should be quite clear.

When government fumbles the ball, the government will seize its own just cause to redefine (in its interests) what it deems fair is, after all understandably …OR NOT …more apt to literally be found within a fine line …one akin (unfortunately …or not) to splitting hairs according to whatever Presidential Privilege’s definition of “IS” is. (SOUND LIBERALLY FAMILIAR?)

Looking closer …there is more than enough to more than suggest it should be quite clear to see through the motives President Obama used to justify whatever campaign tactics the success of his campaign. Principally Obama stayed true to the liberal agenda taking aim at all things with his patented trademark critical spirit whose ammunition has been almost solely loaded with an emotionally charged rhetoric …full of belittling and berating shame and blame …all of which has been electrically charged …but devoid of any actual practical leadership direction capable of reaching a conclusion worthy of meaningful action which would have …which could have and which should have otherwise resulted in a workable solution.

Speaking of moving  campaign’s liberal appeal forward; now that there is pretty much nothing which speaks of any substance worth of meaningful hope and change; what has the American Mindset to look forward to in 2012; more belittling berating shame and solution-less blame? Oh brother! Good Lord!

 I have written of Obama’s claim to fame in that he lays claim to fame …calling himself a community organizer.

If the truth of his track record is to be more accurately known; I would more truthfully characterize Mr. Obama’s profession as that of a “Professional Agitator.”

In this, consider this; “…The thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy; …”

How does this play into Obama’s liberal socially prioritized …so-motivated successful campaign of 2008?

Consider …one who has been given the luxury to enjoy his opportunity to build such upon and build within a scathing spirit’s contempt for the equality of opportunity and merit …an approach which actually …relentlessly took every imaginable advantage to publicly berate, belittle and discredit the former Bush administration openly by castigating President Bush in barrage after barrage of repeated, “NO-HOLDS-BARRED scathing opportunities devoid of honor for both the man and the office of the President of the United States of America.

(Does not “…What goes around …comes around?) If one dishes it out; one should be fit to receive it ten-fold.

I mean to say; this last Presidential Campaign was taken to the lowest and most base depth of all levels.

I mean watch out. Is 2012 destined to be prefaced as; ”Here we go again?”

Well then, let’s get down …President Obama’s way; down and dirty!

Yes, Obama taught and led in this …his style.

Yet, it remains to be seen whether or not America will be willing to teach an old dog to respect some new tricks.

Will America follow his leadership by example only to follow and play in the same dirt?

Or is the America Mindset above that?

All I remember is that Obama was extremely deft at employing the various demeaning manners afforded him in the heat of the moment of America’s greatest stresses. In all of this, Mr. Obama chose to characterize the entrenched appeal of his sort of political warfare as “…Moving America Forward …”?

He evidently was well coached in the art of all of that which appealed to build his base in this manner.

However, one should not underestimate, presume, overlook nor take it for granted that his appeal is incapable of seeking to elicit a more reasonable response …one which would compliment mankind’s rationale use of logic in producing a ounce of reason and good judgment; but within and by choosing his predominantly dirt-like first-plays’ approaches, I believe that Mr. Obama’s manifestations of his genuine nature more than demonstrate a contempt for the American Mindset in discounting America’s ability to grasp and appreciate the difference between ownership and liberal full-blown socialism. Case in point, his contempt for ownership displayed at each and every opportunity that he has to repeatedly draw from his mantra; “…I merely inherited this mess …”

Looking back, there should be no question what “…Moving Forward …” precisely means within a liberal social narrative. Quite simply, the Obama opportunity translates into following a narrow path along a “…whatever it takes …” ill-prioritized (out-of-whack) ways and means order that serves to further its agenda the most.

Warning; whatever it is that deems it necessary to prioritize, order, pursue, fund and grow the (political) infrastructure and size of a socialistic, socially-mandated, expanding bureaucracy …places individual rights and freedoms below its base to trample upon freely whatever it may deem just in order to possess and wield the measure of power necessary to define the word “fair” even to the extent that their newly defined word is made to take on the connotation of “…the redistribution of wealth …” under the auspices of its clutches on absolute power …the power of which emanates from above  …not as in “…In God We Trust …” nor in the power of “…We the People …” but in “…Big Government.”

As President Ronald Reagan once said; “Hi! I’m from the Government, and I’m here to Help.”

In keeping, the move forward as seen by Obama, is merely but a political opportunity to push the most costly …non-private solution forward within the context of a self-serving political conflict to form what …a more perfect union?

I rather think not!

The Obama, liberal social alternative to a more marginalized private solution is deliberately intended to produce larger and more costly government …one, of the government …one, for the government …and none the least of which is also …one, by the government …all in spite of whatever regards should have, would have and …more importantly …could have been funded all without regard to the least of whatever considerations are due what makes for the health of the private sector …which are …today …more than ever …under attack from very real threats whose priorities have all but promised to change the supreme priorities which made to honor this nation’s strong legacy …its testimony to the character of the strength of an individual’s independent free will.

What could speak more of Mr. Obama’s total LACK of consideration IN his regard for the actual economic impacts of the stresses which have resulted from a downturn economy?

At the very core of Obama’s liberal agenda are his skill sets which would have …which could have …and those which should have united America with a greater hope for a more organic private opportunity.

But such a well-timed use of his gifts to execute a private sector solution would have …could have and should have …led to what all needs to distract the misguided priorities of his liberal socialist’s base.

Alas, the character and the agenda are what they are. And that is why the timing …like the Obama emotional campaign appeal are become easily seen as …those discovered …or rather uncovered …total passé.

As such, the Obama moment in the sun may be more accurately seen as a detriment to America …in that its net affect has actually held America from “…Moving America Forward …”

None the less, the belligerent resistance of Obama’s unsavory approach has made its mark in the form of its well-placed …well timed pinpoint appeals designed to appeal to the populist sentiments of an unsettled disgruntled electorate.

The tactics of a conqueror are Divide and Conquer

President Obama’s administration serves well enough as an example as to how …that a simple change of administration …such change offers no guaranty that such an emotionally charged change …if and when made merely for change’s sake …may be a change which neither hastens nor promises any more to enhance the actual reality which brings hope within ones grasp.

On the other hand, in and with the reason of a more sure logic, any necessary cause, reward, or incentive worthy of a just cause is one which will unite all in the spirit of a confidence whose selfless affect is to produce the fruit of positive fertile grounds in which one and all alike would, could, should and will be able to refuel an otherwise exhausted and neglected economy so as to cause to make sure and certain that its economy’s engines are all willing and able to hit on all cylinders …well timed and in unison.

Today, with regard to unity …I can only hope that the American mindset is one which is become neither dull nor hard of hearing as seemingly are a pot-load of steaming frogs.

Above all, I can only hope that America can see; she has been placed into a pot of steaming frogs …and the temperature is rising.

As is, it should be clearly evident that, for the better part of the past three plus (3+) years, America, almost totally unwittingly …just about willfully relinquished Her long-standing love affair with Lady Liberty’s unfettered freedoms.

With almost total abandon …save for the 2010 Mid-Term Elections, America almost lost Her grips on reason in turning to favor reactions more emotionally driven by the waves of instability carried here and there on the winds of uncertainty.

Primarily, on the sole level of an emotional one-dimensional platform, it is as if these inanimate whips have been at the heart and soul of much …if not all of that which has been ailing, leading and shaping America’s mindset …predominantly without thought; certainly …much without belief in Her legacy’s core spirit of faith.

I would have mentioned without leadership, but any spirit of leadership is that which should speak for itself; you will know them by their fruit; and I will let a man’s fruit stand and speak for itself …that of its vinegar …or that of its milk and honey.

 Moving towards the General Elections of 2012, the question is; will America be all the more …turned on by a rhetoric of a liberal’s tongue which speaks a language of shame and blame …a tongue whose ulterior motives may seek to further secure still more opportunities by doing what has been driving it upon what may promise to return him to an office which has become increasingly more barren and fruitless day by day?

Looking back in anger …going into 2008’s General Elections, the American weakened mindset chose overwhelmingly to listen to Barrack’s hopey-changey thing’s rhetoric which became a soap box on which to stand and fail to perform anything but engage in berating castigating barrages of shame, blame and finger pointing.

 Belittle …belittle …be less and be no more. Lift up or break down; I calls em likes I sees em.

And in this awful string of routinely wasted opportunities, many where there who were taken in …and became the willing …the duped …the hypnotized by essentially nothing more substantive than a covetous spirit of impotent political mantra …like a bag of wind.

Curious, how something which is so clearly void of substantive solution …is also that which is become so effective in causing so many to turn aside from reason and logic and become so willing to lay aside their Liberty’s freedoms for what? Clearly, much of this empty, fruitless rhetoric, understandably …fed the animosity and reduced the pain of most who actually hungered for the responsible solutions in light of a void’s stark absence filled with nothing but greed.

Understandably in such dire straights America would naturally …more emotionally be  prone to give way to any opportunity to express …for more than a brief moment Her passionate displeasure with the height of due diligence’s lack which served to produce nothing but an egregious un before seen measure of oversight’s failings …and that in every dimension …and that …upon all stages and that …at every level.

However, one wrong does not serve to make two right.

And in this reason, regardless of the pressure in the cooker, suddenly removing the lid never produces good results …nor does it serve in justifying engaging in the same practice twice.

 Never the less, America’s reaction to the pressure which built in the wake of Her lack of due diligence has done nothing but allow this administration to seek to remove the lid of a pressure cooker a second time knowing first hand that which has left all with the permanent scars of third degree burns.

Isn’t there is an adage out there which states that if you fool me once; it is a shame on you. But, if you fool me twice; then, clearly …the shame is on me?

Come on America; put on your thinking cap. 

In the first place, I can’t blame America for falling for Barack the first go round …that in spite of a low esteem for vigilance in almost every dimension …upon almost every stage …and at every level.

 

In this regard, America needs to put away Her propensity to always seize shame and blame for …all …ALL share fault equally …having been equally blind …having all fallen short and having all failed to execute due diligence in every aspect of the American life.

In short we all stepped in it equally; and we should be smart enough to continually wearing the false pride and security of shame and blame on our proverbial wrists and shirt cuffs.

Never the less, until America figures out a way to reward humility, now …there remains an unchanged call which is continuing to agitate and captivate the unwitting …those whoever may still be likely to …once again, to fall prey to serve an agenda which is not honestly seeking to move America forward at all.

In and along these ways; President Obama …is in step with a liberal agenda …locked in a cage of an agreement whose primarily purposed is being moved by a means so hideous it makes sinister look tame by comparison.

As the liberal agenda runs out of time in the run up to 2012; it is clear that its nature is not above its character in that it has been exercising its lesser covetous spirits to do its dirty work …that of engaging its more familiar spirits of envy and jealousy.

And by falsely leveraging these fruitless spirits, daily …I am seeing progressively more and more blatantly outlandish calls whose overt purpose it is to divide this nation along class and race and whatever other means this liberal cause has gone a parading under the pretext of a Democratic party’s cause.

Since when did being a Democrat openly mean to hitch its cart to a liberal cause which is not doing itself any justice? Since when did being a Democrat lend to any means by which its manner’s employ the tactics of a base appeal whose ways carefully craft campaigns which are no more questions to a prelude whose activities actively seek to engage in class and race warfare?

Since when did being Democrat become akin to making emotional calls whose appeals rather call the more for division than …calling a nation to unity?

One thing for certain, not all those who love their individual freedoms …those who fell prey to these sorts of salacious calls …those who fell under his spell …those who emotionally were driven to give their vote for Obama in his first campaign …NOT ALL SHOWED THE SAME EMOTIONAL ENTUSIASTIC EMOTIONAL SUPPORT IN THE 2010 MID-TERM ELECTIONS?

AND IN THIS …THE HOPE I HAVE IN CAPACITY OF THE LOGIC AND REASONING CAPACITIES OF THE AMERICAN MINDSET’S BETTER FACULTIES; I HOPE FOR A DAY OF LIKE RECONING IN THE COMING 2012 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

After all …there is no more grounds to created anew now …no more greater chances for Obama’s so-call Hope and Change any more so than before.

The Obama Administration is fresh out of luck in this manner. It has run its ship aground and has about enough chances …to further spin more and create more of its something for nothing false hopes on any grounds which could hope to be made to even marginally resemble the same old original song and dance routine from which he sprang.

It’s the economy stupid; not your liberal socialism’s lame …blame and shame machine.

I don’t mean to unjustly be critical of the liberal cause; it’s just not working at a time in whichAmericajust can no longer afford to waste four more years in looking back in anger.

Any greater hopes America has for change would come if, Barack Obama were to merely give up, take his empty, self-serving rhetoric and just go away …no disrespect intended; but the President and his party have not demonstrated a spirit which has produced squat all.

Understandably, without so much as a shred more hope and change; why then would there be any reason to cause one to believe that the left is in any better position to employ any other convention which would be altogether different than the shame and blame which was so successful in the first spin’s first deployment?

 

America, please do not fall still further to the left. Please do not forget altogether the abandoned value of taking greater personal responsibility for safeguarding Lady Liberty’s ways and means by and in which all Americans are charged with the execution of the numerous multidimensional responsibilities which have been …were and still are entrusted to all Americans …with the express intent to protect all of our well balanced individual freedoms.

 

America, reign in due diligence and re-establish …once again the sort of multidimensional balance which our forefathers’ intent produced in ordaining a more perfect union.

 

Forget not altogether to remember the all these values time-honored responsibilities …those whose principals an American mindset let loose of till they were all but out of sight …leaving one only to wonder what had taken place to ensure that anger would not only further fuel Americas’ anguish; it would give opportunity to a few who would seek to further the liberal agenda by side-stepping and altogether avoiding the actual root reasons for America’s true multidimensional failings at all levels.

 

Understandably, confronted and gripped by such unavoidable anguish, it is easy to see how …America …as a nation …became easy mobilized …movable by common spirits …ate up by the lack of oversight and honest clarity in both the financial and political dimensions.

 

Yet, what was there which could possibly served to ease the pain and fill the need for those who had become totally disgusted with the numerous widespread unfettered

 

 

practices which had been allowed to feed the need of greed which had resulted in producing a blind-eyed corrupt willingness to avoid all things due-diligent?

 

Hope and Change?

 

The American mindset was rife and more than willing to engage and participate in an even greater paradox …eclipsing the widespread needs to further avoid personal responsibility on and at the highest national political level possible …The Office of the President of the United States of America.

 

Being unable and unwilling to do more than accept still more responsibility for what all had become …at face value ….once loosed and lost …the character of the American mindset turned once again to whatever whose rhetoric promised merely, all the more …to refuel the factors which had conspired against sound prudent due diligence in the run up to the financial crisis of 2008 …merely draining Her trust and leaving Her gas tank dry bone empty …void of trust …and all the more deeper in debt.

 

And rather than embrace a return to re-establish the principals and priorities of due diligence which would have …could have and should have re-established the level of oversight of sound fiscal policies which would manifest the confidence necessary to provide the economic inertia required to organically rebuild the economy with private capital; instead, the American mindset chose to reward an administration which still clings not to guns and religion, but rather its own branded forms of routine, divisive political rhetoric aimed to foment and leverage its own, home-spun general dissatisfaction meant to deliberately divide and serve the furtherance of its social agenda AMIDST THE WEAKNESS OF AN AMERICAN MINDSET …AND THAT …ONE OF ITS OWN MAKING.

 

WHAT SORT OF AN INHERITANCE BARACK’S IS …NO LONGER IS A QUESTION WHICH HAS PLAY HERE IN AMERICA.

 

WHAT AND HOW BARACK HAS MADE THE AMERICAN MINDSET TO DIVIDE IS THOUGH.

 

Spring boarding FORWARD …moving with the successes of what began first with  the fuel of loosely worded rhetoric …the same is that which has leveraged shame and blame at every turn. And in these bombardments, the public curiously has embraced the opportunity to further avoid taking any personal responsibility for the freedoms which were under attack as this administration made its ascent’s way easily onto the stage of White House not to own it; but to merely inherit it …as one who should have enjoyed every opportunity given one who was equipped also with a “Super Majority” composite of total power. Yet, for all providence, Obama and the liberal agenda failed to move forward at all in spite of the full advantage of majorities in both the House and the Senate.

 

Obviously, Barrack owns two failures; one in and by all that he chose to characterize as his disadvantaged inheritance, and secondly the waste of time during which he squandered this “Super-Majority.”

 

I rather think that this speaks for Barack’s lack of leadership and his grating berating …belittling style.

 

That said, for this matter; I believe that these tragic flaws will stick with the Obama legacy …one which will differentiate him from Bill Clinton.

 

For this reason, consider the Obama administration’s early failures which sounded the initial peals of the bell which tolled for thee, both …first, in the failed Massachusetts Senatorial election …and then, again …in the peal which signaled Chris Christy’s New Jersey Gubernatorial victory.

 

From these two political opportunities …a rather unified set of Americans chose to send a sober message to those in Washington who were suffering under the delusions of their own arrogant makings. Washington’s perceptions had to sober up to realize they had

 

become disorderly and drunken, and America was no longer willing to patiently accept the limitless cavalier perceptions of a fruitless “Super Majority.”

 

The choices of “…We the People …” signaled a call to end the abusive, unfruitful exuberance of Washington’s cavalier hubris of the fruitless embrace of a liberal honeymoon.

 

And one would think the liberal’s embrace of such an abuse would end, be finished and over for good; but obviously it isn’t.

 

Instead, it is just beginning in the ramp up to the approach of 2012’s general elections.

 

Since then, and as bad as the administration’s two messy years ended; since then, moving away from the November 2010 Mid-terms; the liberal rhetoric has again turned to what worked on its 2008’s ascent to power …namely more of the same old divisive, derision of its trademarks’ shame and blame.

 

As messy as the Washing spin has become since then, not that much has changed that could give America cause to hope that this social mantra will change for the better.

 

And in this, I would hope to believe that America’s mind-set is not so easily apt to become spell bound again …as it was rolled out and ramped up in the run up to seize power in 2008’s last general election.

 

After all, what is there new to expect; I.E. …why expect anything to change this time? The liberal mindset has more than demonstrated its inability to sing any other new song …that is anything which differs from covetousness’ umbrella of envy and jealousy. Class

 

Act? More aptly, class warfare. Why reward Unity when division has rewarded self service so well in the past?

But if living in the past is hope and change, I say; “What a drag. Don’t bring me down!

 

Don’t bring me down!”

 

Sadly, I am afraid America has once bought into a bummer mindset.

 

I hope it will not happen here again. I hope for an American Mindset which will choose to change and make a choice for the best at the very next and every opportunity.

 

Arguably, powerfully persuasive was/is the administration’s initial (continuing) approach, as it were …which easily netted it the award of a handsome victory …one which came with so effective means; so, why would one expect the consistency of the Obama character to radically change its embrace in the arms of its enamored appeal with a call and charge to move toward socialism and every reform that it can benefit from, imagine and justify?

 

I truly believe that the administration’s track record …as much of a broken record as it has become; it is still …evidently going to rely upon making a visceral, fleshy and senses appeal which leans on the covetous conventions of envy and jealousy.

 

Will Obama take the high road? As can clearly be seen, I rather think not. The administration has made it clear; in keeping with its constant use of shame and blame; its continued aim at what it obviously is counting on …the administration has demonstrated time after time, that it considers the heart and soul of its social success will come out of its ability to reach the soft underbelly of America using what all will divide America’s otherwise unified spirit of independence which also ….otherwise springs from Liberty’s spirit of truth.

 

But giving no consideration and respect for and to the intelligence and common will innately well and alive within the America’s mindset …one whose spirit seeks out the opportunity to find purpose in ones life …therein the administration’s challenge of doubt has emerged as a political self-serving will which seems to serve its own purposes with appeals which promise nothing but to best fuel the administration’s desire to divide and trample under foot the traditional values of individual freedom.

 

By continuously engaging in attacks which mock the strength of America’s diversity and warping the opportunities available to all who chose to participate in an otherwise healthy, free market capitalistic base …the administration is demonstrating that it is not worthy of its public mandate to lead “…We the People …”

 

And, in continuing to wage its social and class warfare; the Obama administration is doing America no small favors in continuing to encourage the public’s acceptance of its unholy matrimony with its whole-hearted, total unhealthy embrace of its detrimental dependence upon record-setting levels of debt-driven annual deficits …which is, in and of itself …no small obscure Greek/French side show.

 

Imagine the parents whose liberal permission excuse ones children to believe it ok to repeatedly say; I merely inherited this crap from the Obama administration.

What kinds of parents make allowances merely to foster and cuddle the weakness of their children hope to make weak excuses and arguments for their inability to make change hopeful?

I only inherited this mess, indeed!

Is America’s mindset becoming more apt and inclined to be ok with producing weaklings …weaklings who may become still more fearful of making sacrifices than this generation is in all of its hope for change?

Fine kettle of fish!

After the most recent French Presidential Election, In good conscious …I have been compelled to re-post the post chronicled above.

Part 3 of 5 in a Five-Part Series:

 

Preface; Part Three of Five to: The Rate of the Wait; The Cost of the Lost

 

Re:  On Building an alert National Mindset …continued

 

Therefore, why can’t “…We the People …” see “…by the dawn’s early light.”

 

Until America’s fiscal responsibility and monetary policy change markedly; “…We the People …” may as well be a boat load of French frogs-a-cooking.

 

In other words, as the White House and Congress goes …so goes the Fed’s commitment and dependency to its TWIST program.

 

How long before rates will rise …hinges upon how long Congress and the President possess the will to postulate, prognosticate, pontificate while doing nothing butt-stomp, him-haw, toe-tap while side-stepping fiscal responsibility at every turn …dickering over any and everything which possibly has, is and will justify avoiding every just reason which otherwise would put debt driven deficits in the same league with Bruce Willis’ role he played in Armageddon.

 

But America may run out of time before realizing She may be unable to afford this sort of endless, fruitless waste.

 

Until then, the American mindset may have bought into a delusion that believes being American means never having to say your sorry …which is a poor attempt to barrow a classic line from the movie, Love Story.

 

None the less, America is neither above reproach nor an honest well-placed word of urgent reproof.

 

However, America may not have the luxury of the time required to accomplish even a meager measure of the correction necessary.

 

Without the height of any measurable level of detectable agreement …America will most likely not even demonstrate the fruit of Her bond of unity even exists.

 

And with a mindset like that, it is game, set and match; bend over and kiss your ….figs and frogs goodbye.

 

Like Jesus, it is time to put an end to this fig tree-like metaphor. It is time to expose the American fiscal landscape for what it actually promises to produce …which is nothing promising at all …not even a useful metaphor.

 

Beyond a mere metaphor, America’s reality is bound to die a similar death …from the roots up …that is, if America doesn’t wake up soon for the liberal agenda certainly holds no more certain promise other than all that which is uncertain, barren and fruitless.

 

Therefore, while it is questionable as to how long America will need to run its unholy deficits; it is an altogether different …yet intertwined in another mystery …one which must turn and ask how long the Federal Reserve will need to (let alone be able to successfully) run its pity-TWISTER sham which is no more than an excuse to allow Congress to Dicker with a belligerent Whitehouse.

 

What a sorted lot of ancient fig trees whose day-tomorrow is coming sooner than America’s will change to …having to say; I’m sorry.

 

However, rather than pretend to be able to pose or postulate an answer more fruitful, I will instead, set a course for an answer’s stage. And in this, I would like to make mention of a pivotally important international event again …the French Presidential Election in which Francois Hollande defeated the incumbent conservative, President Nicolas Sarkozy …receiving 52% of the vote.

 

 http://www.christianpost.com/news/sarkozy-loses-as-france-swings-to-left-in-presidential-polls-74484/

 

In my opinion, the French election aptly is merely a prefacing punctuation which will most likely, impact the sustainability and survivability of the EU.

 

This week’s French election undoubtedly has resulted in increasing a momentum which has been building an environment win which increasingly favors pressing a socialistic ideology’s agenda.

 

As to how to move this forward, the costs to do so certainly holds less promise than the populist will.

 

The paradox therein most certainly will serve little more than to further hasten an already weakened stressed-out Euro whose assets are somewhat limited at best.

 

The election does little to build badly needed credibility in one of the EU’s more important examples …an example which Germany’s hopes have been counting on to “…do the right thing.”

 

Turning from a more responsible stance like that of “Austerity” the determined passionate spirit of populism is one which has also driven droves to fill the streets in Greece.

 

None the less, this spirit’s affect upon the emotions is a strong cause whose drive makes a strong argument for turning away from the law of the mind whose chief ingredients are reason driven by the truth of sound logic.

 

Such as it is, the French elections are evidence of a favor whose choice it is to pave a way in populist filled streets. And in this regard, the results are what they are. And me thinks that the times rather resemble a move toward a more PIGS-Like agendas.

 

Such an election is exemplary of the paradox of unity.

 

In such an embrace of populist sentiment, such a unity may likely result in undermining the very populist turn from the tenants of a more necessary prudent austerity.

 

Regardless, unanimously victorious, united the populist outcome will likely be to …ultimately, destabilize and undermine a healthy economic European recovery.

 

And this will jeopardize and further make calls which conspire against the very reasons for a continuance of the very unity and liberal causes that the French may be now celebrating.

 

As can be seen in America, short lived it is becoming …the reasons to celebrate social populism.

 

 

In Europe, like it is here in America …uncertainty …the fruit of Obama will be exacerbated all the more, if President Obama wins a second term. 

 

Disgruntled by a downturn economy …and appealing to the populist sentiments of an unsettled electorate, the Obama administration serves well enough as an example in that, a change of administration offers no guaranty that a change of administration will hasten any more …or cause an economy to hit on all cylinders.

I guess the French never got that memo.

 

I can only hope that the American mindset is not as dull nor hard of hearing as seemingly are a pot-load of steaming frogs.

 

Part 4 will follow shortly.

 

Thank you,

After the most recent French Presidential Election, In good conscious …I have been compelled to re-post the post chronicled above.

But, before I can do so, in the same conscious …I have become much more intent to first write a multi-part preface before I actually do re-post this older post. Therefore, I will finish posting the fifth and final part to this five-part preface’s series, and then re-post this old post, what I believe is extremely pertinent today as when I first posted it last year.

This particular post to which I refer …was mentioned by its title in the first part (Part 1) of this 5-part preface’s series. Its link also appears at the beginning of this series 1st part.

Preface; Part Two of Five to: The Rate of the Wait; The Cost of the Lost

 

Re:  On Building an alert National Mindset.

 

Re:  On Building an alert National Mindset.

 

How can a nation of people sit so idly by while cavalierly making blind allowances which take lightly what drastic consequences may come from any number of the narratives which have emerged from any number of the major players, movers and shakers who form the pool of contemporary would-be play writes of the movement pushing social engineering forward to the very limits in every kind and form of brinksmanship imaginable.

What is being played out in almost every dimensions, upon every stage and at and throughout ever level serves only to rival any number of the best murder mystery novels.

Likewise, consider what purpose a goodly portion of clarity would do to destroy the ulterior motives  of which make for a good “…Who Done it?” novel.

Yet, today America’s national mindset is kept equally guessing …under-exposed …hidden from whatsoever would, could and otherwise should and or might provide a clue to the direction as to what is fair, open and honest in and with respect to an individual’s desire for clarity from ones government.

However, like mushrooms the Obama administration has deliberately chosen to treat and condition the American mindset as if he were growing mushrooms …by keeping them all as much in the dark and feeding them cow manure.

Is it any wonder that how this administration has chosen its priorities and the manner in which it has portrayed its policies does little more than reflect the manner in which its ways and means have carefully chosen to spin the narrative of its totally unbiased liberal characterization as to what it sees is fair in spite of the administration’s clear and obvious failures to orchestrate trust and confidence out of the uncertainty of what it has and is continuing to choose to see as its ill-fated inheritance.

Not so fast here Mr. President. You had your priorities and you had a chance for the better part of the last 3 and a half years; and the President can not say that he did not waste a chance to make a difference …for the better.

Yet, for the worst, this administration’s rhetoric has produced efforts which have effectually polarized and dividedAmerica, and in so doing …produced an excuse for a posture whose national mindset has become so drawn away …so easily preoccupied with little more than the futility of disgust.

In these ways and means the administration’s net affect has been to numb down the American mindset and make provisions for a soft pin point landing …one on a point of least resistance …one which is easily sidetracked by the entertainment of Obama’s entertaining charm and charisma.

Oh brother, Mr. Obama …do this nation a favor; go charm a snake.

Americans have real business to attend to …that primarily which would otherwise fuel this Nation of America with confidence instead of blame and shame …in endless attempts to divide Her People …We the People.

Yes, there have been and still are winds which are seeking to blowAmerica’s national mindset …those to the point whereAmerica’s citizens will have become comfortably numb to all the insanity and endless levels of derision and division.

As is, it has been a memorable term …now near over …one which will invariably be remembered for how Obama and the liberals in Washington  almost caused for Her to become sucked inwards towards what sinister gravitational influences can only be best described as an impending appointment with a tightening noose of an oncoming self- imposed barren infertility?

Remember the lyrics to one of the Beatles fine songs; “…Take a sad song and make it bitter …” er, in this case it might actually be more aptly to go down in history …written instead as; “…take an inheritance and do indeed make it as be…it…it-ter …” at least as one least possibly can be ….all the while trying to blame it and pin it on some other guy …guy.

You know, now is just about a good a time as any to offer my personal experiences as to what generally makes for the stench of a lack of responsibility. Invariably, I’ve found that, in 9 times out of ten …it comes prefaced with just about every attempt that stops at nothing to use every trick in the book to avoid having to first take responsibility for what is wrong …primarily by blaming someone else.

You know …it was his …or, it was her fault. That’s what they always say. That’s just always their way …to leverage blame and shame so as to enhance …my way …or, the hi-way. After all, blame and shame arguably are the Presidents way of getting what he wants.

AndAmericacan plainly see; when the President wants it; he gets it, yes?

Want to see it coming more closely …in all of its spectacular living color?

Want just a few prime examples?  See the following “Wolves in sheep’s clothing …if you will …that for your very self.”

 And if you are still in the state of disbelief; they have you …hook line and sinker. Fine kettle of fish will have made of the American mindset.

Fine kettle of fish. Watch it and weap.

Look and see the specific examples of the following bullets socially designed to shape and kill the independence of the American mindset:

Armed with this knowledge instilled in ones mind, how can a people of one of the most technologically advanced civilizations allow its independent spirit to so easily succumb to the iron will of such a pointless, wide-spread, politically will that is resorting to drive malice with a mallet chiseled point that seeks to justify its ill-affects and its clandestine cloaked excuses to spread its blanket out far and wide to suffocate Liberty’s freedoms …by spreading a spirit of blind indifference which is designed to marginalize the legitimacy of whatsoever things are true, honest and just in all that is pure, lovely and virtuous and of good report?

In the face of America’s would-be tyrants’ escalating attempts to systematically raise the level of a cavalier contempt for Her time-honored weakening traditions, values and institutions; how can a nation stand still for this sort of socialistic charade so as to continue to become still more comfortable with the preparations of willful submission to the will of the collective’s subjugation of the rights and independence of the human spirit?

America …is now become so unaware of just how susceptible, vulnerable and wide open she has become exposed is actually more prone to suffering what may become the final attack of Her foundational principals by those who …with unsavory and unscrupulous ulterior motives do, like …hungry wolves …have been laying in wait for the pivotal opportunity to leverage their hopes for change …what likely may come to materialize as a slaughter …the ultimate harvest which likely will sprung forth from the very ills which their ulterior motives have helped cultivate.

Answer the call to Awaken America!

In plain view are these tyrants’ cycle and the staff …the stark symbols of social despots …whose purpose holds no good purpose for America’s Lady Liberty and Her freedoms’ safeguards …Her People’s constitution not withstanding …let alone ones individual rights as expressly guaranteed in America’s constitution.

Therefore, if today serves no better reminder as to what these ominous symbols historical purpose and agenda signifies …take a look back and remember the failings of their never-ending lessons that …have always attempted to foment and push forward their folly in total disregard for the final cost of their agendas many ills.

Today, this purpose and intent is a constant threat to the values of Liberty’s many personal freedoms which many hold sacred in honoring the American way of life.

Sadly, more and more are loosening their grasp of their hopes to experience such in favor of what the Left has been hoping for the opportunities to build upon to leverage their hopes in which to bring about social change by means and reason of a disgruntled and disenfranchised populace.

But make no mistake, the social promise to bring greater hope and change is a lie whose promises are doing no more than making clandestine attempts to disrupt, divide, weaken and beset America into capitulation by weakening Her People’s resolve until “…We the People …” simply no longer possess …own …and or care to resist the socialists’ hope for change.

America must wake up and resist the weak mindset which is being asked to buckle under the socialist’s bandwagon.

 Why then are not more concerned citizens standing upright in opposition to the spirit of apathy which has failed …so far …(SAVE THE November 2010 MID-TERM ELECTIONS) to address the urgent conditions WHICH ARE NOW CONTINUING TO threaten TO CHANGE forevermore the landscape of Liberty as we yet freely have the choice to realize it …as we can best see it fit …as individuals …not as some BORG Collective?

Now, is not the time to fall prey to apathy.

Now then, America can today …no longer afford to adopt a weak mindset that merely offers merely one a single option …that, to turn the other cheek.

For that matter, specifically in regard to effectual stewardship …that which holds well a good measure of esteem for the values of performing due diligence in an honest conscientious manner …is also an honor whose respect for such also seeks out accountability as its prime responsibilities’ pursuit.

And in this character’s prime routine responsibility …America should have avoided offering even the slightest invitation to even need to turn the first cheek in the first place.

Check it out! This is the real contextual meaning of stewardship’s effectual working in love …no schism. Can you dig it. In Kansas, we plow it.

In this regard, there is some truth to the adage which states that discipline is the key to freedom.

Where the spirit of Discipline is there is Liberty…and where there is Liberty, men and women stand and work all things together for good in the spirit of all things freely.

Now, is not the time to fall prey to apathy.

Now is a time to be vigorously choosing to follow a path less traveled.

America can no longer afford a weak mindset that merely offers but one option …to turn the other cheek and cave in to social reform …especially at a time which asks …no, is demanding indifferently the opportunity to turn its cheek totally away from the opportunity and reasons to freely promote organic …natural, private prospects, rewards and incentives instead.

WOW, TALK ABOUT A WILLFUL AND WANTON ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS NATION A SHIPWRECK!

This nation can, therefore no longer afford to give that shipwreck the opportunity to coming to fruition.

For that matter, in regard to stewardship …and that specifically which regards and esteems the values of performing due diligence in an honest conscientious manner which seeks out accountability as prime responsibilities  …America should have avoided offering even the slightest invitation to turn the first cheek.  

In this regard, there is some truth to the adage which states that discipline is the key to freedom.

Discipline is the manifestation …the proof of ones respect for ones responsibilities.

Adequate …let alone the highest form of stewardship is taking hold of every opportunity to perform such and prove so well enough …that one may TAKE STEWARDSHIP TO A LEVEL SO AS TO avoid and remove every possible first opportunity that ones CHEEK may BE STRUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE …even when likely or not.

IN THIS manner of stewardship’s proof, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK IN and by …1ST performING (PRESENT, PLU-PERFECT TENSE …ING) AND DOING the necessary due diligence.

In doing so …and instead avoiding the favor and the ease with which ignorance offers so many devastatingly poor options to altogether cavalierly dismiss the warning signs which have so often been repeated time and time again throughout history.

 Alas, sadly …America has not been following policies that would avoid being struck in Her lack of Fiscal and Monetary preparedness, and it would seem She has been willing to forgo stewardship in favor of turning the other cheek. What a pity!

This is exactly the same emotional spirit which is at work in the children of disobedience …both here and abroad? In this respect, I do not digress. I am dead serious.

 

Today, America is not alone as the only nation which has failed in fiscal oversight. This can be seen  in one troubled debt-riddled country after another …each is being made conformable to the ways and means which make for the same traps …all becoming unwitting victims …like frogs who have been made to jump …one right after another into the same pot of cool water …one which is being gradually heated slowly.

 

And as if all have been seated in the same theater …as the plot thickens, and the pot begins to heat up; how is it that societies fail to see …let alone, fail to adequately anticipate and recognize ahead of times …the conditions of such a thin plot’s conventions which have come so close to resembling so many other deceptions which have historically played out in much the same way? Why do societies mindsets fall captive …and become held spell bound in disbelief until a point in time at which …the mask is finally torn off the jesters face only to reveal the hidden spirits behind the mask …fully revealing the true nature and character whose conventions ploys were cleverly wound around a counterfeit trust and hope in such a way so as to …for the time being …hold the audience spell-bound …in a suspension of a spirit of disbelief …all the way to their ruinous end.

 

No one …let alone an audience can be mesmerized if that one or that audience is not willing to first …give one self over to the hypnotic power of that spirit’s conventions and suggestions.

 

However, in the jester’s final act, and when honesty becomes such an unrecognizable distant stranger; imagine the aggregate common horror of the audience’s stark shock after awakening to find the reality which has taken them …the imposter has taken them captive in a trap whose grip now holds so firmly fast that it offers neither alternative nor possibility for escape.

 

Following the shock of reality’s discovery, the depth of ones anguish can only offer the possibility of an eclipse …that in the form of a greater shock which will promise only to surpass ones circular attempts to futilely try to reinvent some plausible, more workable spin whose trial always fails in an endless never ending spin of denial. Whose Finger pointing ever resulted in a satisfactory solution?

 

However, in the wake of ones attempts to gain distance from reality, there may not even enter in to ones willing suspension of disbelief …the actual realization that all such hopes have been lost …wasted …squandered in pursuits which have merely fruitlessly chased attempts to make lies less clear.

 

Sitting trapped in ones theatre of ones own makings …will there ever come a time to realize that now is the time to pay the piper his price for your inability to make ones departure sound?

 

When there are no longer exits …what next matters more and to whom will it matter more?

 

At this point, why should the fate of individual freedom in Americamatter at all to any pied piper who, in spite of whatever poor fate may lie in wait …the relavance of an individual makes for a weak social premise …let alone a stronger cause. In the relative scheme of the socialist’s order who and of what relevance is an individual’s rights? In just one more performance like the last, a cooked frog is one as well done as the last …one well as long as there is a will’s willingness so as to be so dishonestly so well undone …for the sake of the priorities of the social order.

 

No mater the rate of the frogs’ fate. The wait exacts the same cost in terms of what and whose will must needs be lost and or trampled upon for whatever may guaranty that the social mandate is esteemed above that which guarantees the rights of the individual.

Frog soup anyone? 

Such as an end there always will be, there is certainly one common ingredient to this misleading frog-soup’s recipe.

 

It is the crux of the success on which all previous repeat performances’ depend, the same time-measured willing whose suspension of disbelief brings their dead end.

 

 There is an old tasteless adage whose postulates state; it’s the same old Ka-ka, but a different day.

 But soon is come the day in which both will and right conveniently stripped …the naked frogs’ guts, bone and marrow laid aside …with sinew ripped in bare disassembly …the carcass entirely in plain view no less to see …one more frog never more to be.

And in this respect or greater lack there of …as a society, may be ones will …will likely made to be. Does the human nature not all …in sync make for a common character …less like the individual …to march with the same social mind …lined up like pawns in a game …all following the same drummer’s beat, down-hill, in step with and by the common international fiscal and monetary aptitude …whose examples mesmerized by an appeal …are also together …having been played to willfully accept an ambivalent prideful embrace of ignorance and or indifference …stepping one by one into the same fine pot?

 

Let’s be real; why simply allow our mindsets’ condition to merely idly go merrily …merrily as if life is but a dream?

 

Remember Simon and Garfunkel’s Slip Sliding Away?

 

“The more you reach your destination, the more you’re slip sliding a…away.

 

In this regard, one should and needs must become familiar and acquainted with the Federal Reserve’s TWIST Programs and policies …specifically with respect to its tenants (NOT-SO CLEAR) time-line requirements.

 

ONCE YOU HAVE A GRIP ON THE TENANTS OF ITS TIMELINE’S REQUIREMENTS; YOU WILL HAVE REACHED A POINT IN THE PLAY WHERE YOU WILL HAVE NOTICED THAT THE JESTER IS NO LONGER WEARING A MASK.

 

FROM THERE …IT SHOULD BECOME STARKLY CLEAR THAT IT IS LONG OVERDUE TO LEAVE THE THEATRE IF YOU STILL HAVE TIME AND CAN STILL FIND AN EXIT

 

In this single most critical aspect, do all the multidimensional conditions favor, let alone afford one (enough of …) The Time Necessary to execute Twist?

 

It should become apparent to one just how GINORMOUS a play this is …that is, in moving the boat-loads of KA-Ka off the Short-Handle and off and far enough out onto the Long Handle?

 

Oh, and by the way; don’t blame the Federal Reserve Chairman for this; for you see, Congress has already aired its dirty laundry …and the skinny on the street and in the halls of Congress and especially on the steps of the White House …is …that …huge ….and …GINORMOUS DEFICITS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE UNABATED FOR THE NEXT TEN …THAT IS RIGHT 10 …A 1 WITH A BIG ZERO BEHIND IT.

 

That sort of puts blame’s various theories of fiscal relativity to bed, or …rather it should.

 

So, be wary; no …be very wary of those who fly off the handle and jump to quick conclusions that also employ pointing fingers at the Federal Reserve System and its Chairman.

 

Anyway you stack it; as bad as the TWIST smells; the deficits which have made the TWIST a life raft’s life ring may be only as strong as is Congress willing to execute fiscally conservative responsibility …in and as long as they act united in their aggregate common resolve to drastically reduce the deficits.

 

How strong a collective resolve there may be remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain; it may only require one more General Presidential election …one which resembles the strong express will akin to that of the November 2010’s Mid-Term for to send a clear message which is strong enough to clean out the house and get its political will in line and well on the order …of that of “…We the People …”

 

According to Obama; that will was never to be. I say; not so fast thank you please Mr. President.

 

TWIST is, in the meantime …as we all sit here in the rain and wait …the cost of avoiding the actual costs to literally be doing nothing but biding the time while being engaged in doing nothing but “Buying Time.”

 

And the reality is; the more Congress spends …the more time the Fed’s TWIST program must and will last …and cost. That is …under a best case scenario which assumes the lowest treasury yields remain constantly …artificially that way or otherwise rigged there.

 

 Holy Criminently Bat Boys and Bat Grils! Sweet and unintended consequences have given Congress a green light and The Green Lantern’s credit card to pursue a precarious path and enter a dangerous doorway through which even its GINORMOUS INFLATED EGOS HAVE SLIPPED INOT spending habits which are every bit as preposterous as any government paradox.

 

Conundrum or quagmire? Obviously both.

 

So who are the real gate keepers? Who holds the key?

 

We the People do …; that’s who!

 

But the question is; is there still time enough to go around in order to eventually find a solution that will actually get us out of this mess ….so as to have a chance in a million to exit of this crazy space-time continuum? Does the Fed have enough time? Will Rates Favor the Fed while it bides the time as Congress spends as it sees fit …trying to spend enough to “Bye Time” cheaply …or I.E.; effectually?

 

Is this not the definition of insanity?

 

Is this not the definition of insanity? In this regard, the solution is Atomic; just simply blow up the Mother Ship.

 

Well, thank goodness that Mother Nature has not lost her temper, yet; for …unlike The Boy Scouts; America is not prepared to be caught off guard again on any scale or proportion such as in RITA, KATRINA, OR WILMA …OR AS IN JAPAN.

 

GOD FORBID!

 

WHERE ARE THERE MORE SOBER LEVEL-HEADED MINDS WHO KNOW BETTER?

 

The success of TWIST hinges upon having the time necessary which is equal …or up to the size of the task …assuming that conditions favorable continue along a certain line.

 

And what is this line of most favorable …greatest self-control?

 

The prudence and best-case moderation is …and I use the word lightly with a certain paradoxical contempt for sarcasm; used with hoping in one that America can navigate safely through troubled international highly charged economic waters without becoming more sidetracked and derailed at Her most critical moment …which is …NOW no longer the time to hold ones testicles and wonder as to how …why …when …how much.

 

The time for cutesie metaphors has come and gone. There is no longer time for existential pauses and speculation. The time for action and truth to join in honor of our heritage before that is exhausted and a memory of it no longer remains …is now!

 

And without question, The President and The Congress no longer have a single cause greater than fiscal conservatism; and for that matter’s purpose, there is no longer an excuse larger in importance that could …would and should be pressed to the public’s breast any more than the emergency of fiscal conservatism. All else and all and every opportunity for liberty’s continuance hangs in the balance of this preface the greatest opportunity toward any and every hope America may have to further enjoy Her future prospects of prosperity in every dimension …upon every stage and at all levels …no matter how low and now matter how high.

 

To fail and further ignore the rapidly approaching consequences is akin to treason and threatens to conspiring against the Fed’s already tried and stretched ability to cope with Washington’s HUBRIS.

 

Remember Icarus? Who will keep Washington from flying too high?

 

Who is there to hold our government’s branches …and their annual budget’s deficits in check …year after year? And who is there who will stand and bring them into a sound and safe semblance of acceptable and perfectly clear level of perfectly unified well-ordered accountability?

 

Remember these words; “…We the People, in order to form (…not create) do …

 

The “…We the People …” will!

 

The “…We the People …” do!

 

God help us all if “…We the People …” won’t.

 

As is clear; Washington isn’t.

 

Therefore, why can’t “…We the People …” see “…by the dawn’s early light.”

 

Until fiscal responsibility and monetary policy change markedly; “…We the People …” may as well be a boat load of French frogs-a-cooking.

 

Part 1 to The Preface; The Fate of the Wait is in The Rate While The Cost is Lost

The “Fate of the Wait …” post was originally posted:  Friday, September 02, 2011

 

Afterwards, it was edited & revised: Saturday, September 03, 2011

 

Thereafter, a 2nd revision was subsequently posted:Friday, September 16, 2011

 

 

Preface; Part One of The Preface:  “The Fate of the Wait is in the Rate While The Cost is Lost”

 

Part One:  To preface to the upcoming Re-Release of “The Fate of the Wait is in the Rate While the Cost of the Lost.”

 

 

What follows, is the 1st portion of a multi-part 5-piece preface. This initial portion of the five-part preface will ultimately lead into the reposting of a previous post which, by the way …just happened to precede the Federal Reserve’s announcement of its TWIST Programs policies last year.

 

Incidentally, the title of the original post I am referring to may be found at www.geoblography.com

under the name of:  The Rate of the Wait; The Cost of the Lost.

 

Over the next, successive five concurrent days, it is my hope that Geoblography readers will be able to return, day after day …so as to read the preface in its five-part entirety. Invariably, curious interest may cause one to read the original post. In this regard, I would be delighted.

 

And, for this purpose, the post’s link is listed directly below in the next few paragraphs.

 

However, let me say this; if one reads the post before finishing all five parts to the entire preface; one may become more likely to reread it again after finishing the fifth part of this preface …after which …I hope its themes will leave a useful, long-lasting, crater-like, positive impact upon my readers’ perspectives with respect to both the Public Debt’s scope and size …as well as to how this must tragically place limits and restrictions upon its management and policies …in both intertwined fiscal and monetary dimensions.

 

To link to the original post, follow this link;   http://www.geoblography.com/?p=1199

 

The reason why I am prefacing and planning to re-post my September 16th, 2011’s original post is becauses; today, I believe it has become more pertinent today than ever before.

 

After the French Presidential Election, I am more convinced than ever Americans are being strung along …day after day …more than merely paying the costs to just tote the note …those service costs associated withAmerica’s Public Debt.

 

Last year, I attempted to characterize this in other terms by referring to this cost in a way which explains the service costs called the “Debt Load” as …and in terms of  “The Fate of the Rate …” as being actually “…the Cost of the Lost.”

 

The Fate comprises the lost factors of time and money in various unforeseen or unnoticed dimensions with respect to the added dynamics of various depths of rates whose limits are limited by finite time constructs.

 Enough said for the time being. It goes without saying that the Treasury Department holds a periodic recurring series of Treasury sales whose calendar period repeats over and over nearly every two months …just like clock work …come rain or shine …regardless of supply and whoever shows up to participate in these garage-sale-like auctions.

 Aside from organic market dynamics, as deemed necessary, QE1 and QE-2 has filled the vacuum in the event and at the ever increasing times of waning participation …I.E.; a lack of demand …as if to beg the question; what if they gave an auction and no one showed?

 

What and who is the cause for this manifestation of this lack of participation and confidence?

 

Go figure?

 

I’ll give you one guess who it is not. It is no longer …even slightly plausible to blame it on former President Bush …a president who had to contend with Rita, Katrina, Wilma and 911 just to mention a few catastrophes.

 

So, what up?

 

This last week, I attended a volunteers meeting hosted by Kansas House Congressional Representative Mike Pompeo.

 

If I understood him correctly; Mike responded to a question from a gentleman who wanted to know how many yearsWashingtonwould likely be dependant upon spending the huge deficits which this current administration deems it must spend.

 

Congressman Pompeo choose to characterize his answer by using an “IF” in conjunction with a “Don’t.”

 In his answer, and in this manner …Congressman Pompeo referred to “The Ryan Plan.”

 Congressman Pompeo declared that it would be entirely possible to need as many as ten (10) more years of incredibly high deficit spending before these awful spending habits come to a halt “…if… guidelines found in the Ryan Plan are not heeded.

 Congressman Pompeo also answered a question regarding when Congress would next find it necessary to deal with the next Congressional vote that would be necessary to raise the debt ceiling. His answer; hinged upon Washington’s spending …the burn-rate, but nailed his answer to a time frame whose window’s book-end-like parameters may stretch from between as early as this November …to quite possibly reach the limits of sheer brinksmanship as far late as February next year.

 So, who will be responsible for the next S&P Downgrade …let alone the lack of resolve to do anything more than to kick this bucket of KA-KA down the road time after time …with or with out the next/latest round of QE-X …thanks largely in part to TWIST-X …which is the height of the Fate of the Wait in a form whose space-time dimension is a seemingly endless continuum …ad infinitum?

 

Not since Rita, Katrina, Wilma …and 911 have I ever understood whoever in their mind deserves to inherit the right to point a finger and cast blame without reserve with a contempt knows no more limit than his deficits.

 

Washingtoncavalierly has …is and …will year after year …continue in the same spirit cavalierly ask Americans to pay for their own inherited lack of resolve …or what?

 

Since never before our fathers set forth to form a more perfect union  has such a lack of “TRULY TRUTHFUL LEADERSHIP” and a LACK OF RESOLVE …totally FAIL “…We the People” …failing to …TO PROVIDE A MEASURE OF OVERSIGHT and ACCOUNTABILITY in and with any measure of CLARITY to a DEGRE WHICH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE more perfectly MERIT. 

Is this fate as good as it gets? The cost lost to wait  

End of PART ONE:

 

 

Where are Principled Sextant, the Astrolabe, the Compass All?

March 26th, 2012

 

Where are Principled Sextant, the Astrolabe, the Compass All Gone?

 

Is there no more a true north?

 

Can we no more the stars plainly see?

 

Sadly, “…stay the course …” is a rather iffy policy in Washington today. The President, Congress and Ben Benanke have all but charted (intentionally …or otherwise) one which has America taken America to sail deeper into heretofore, uncharted waters …now, for the most part …sailing for the most part, using a principal known as “dead reckoning” …as it were, pretty much without the guide of more certain aids.

 

Having seemingly abandoned the well principled means of navigation’s more reliable and well-founded forms of navigation …where the current course may take Americais can be anyone’s guess.

 

Has America found more benefit for dead reconing than the reliable checks and prudent navigational measures more true?

 

Hence, the reliability and certainty of such waters makes for sailing into unstable waters?

 

For without measured means more sure, this course most likely leadAmericato likely anything but calm waters.

 

Furthermore, such a steady course once founded …unchanged, such a course seems to have made its principal aim;  …to make hell to pay!

 

After all, it is not as thoughAmericais not already in this rather iffy business already, no?

 

As if a growth more robust returns ….If energy policy can be crafted to favor choice rather than merely the majors by whom America is now held hostage  ….As if revenue can be found to return and fill the tax coffers instead of I.O.U.s …If spending doesn’t get out of control (A GRAND SOCIAL DELUSION …IN AND OF ITSELF) …If new taxes will not snuff out the flame of a modest recovery (expendable income not withstanding) …As if the price of energy isn’t up to this task in and of itself even AS if no tax were to be levied at all …as if no small public debt load needs be serviced.

 

And as iffy is such a fine course for America …it is not as if America has no choice fit for all in such a course most miserable. However to offer no other choice is akin to simply to invite no more but miserable sets of unavoidable consequences.

 

And like jagged rocks which dangerously are strewn before a jetty’s shore …where is a skilled helmsman to be had whose procedures’ practices hold and offer better choices?

 

As for now, it seems those now at the helm, have made a certain destination less clearer each day the ship draws near these rocks which lay before. Consider then, we …who like the Greeks are sailing toward a point beyond which there will be no return.

 

Half a league …half a league. Half a league onward.

 

Really? Are there no better choices than merely to do or to die?

 

Me thinks me …the rather!

 

There is the opportunities of endlessly far better choices in and if discernment were the choice of well established principals.

 

However, in the wake of a willingness to guide all into and through along a course of willful abandonment of all things …above all most principled; America is most likely on a course …one which will result in further weakening beyond which point …our course …less principally guided …will result in a full embrace of nothing more than a continuing erosion of whatsoever strength once made for a proud American nature well guided.

 

And by then, I am afraid that Americans will have traded in a nature that has always embraced a love for liberty  … all for the love of trading it all in for a frail, Wimpy-Like character …that is if by fortune and fate; ours is lucky to avoid all of the rocks which lie before the shore.

 

Why? All because the consumer is strong inAmericawhereas …and in spite of the lack of courage …the politician can be weak at the expense of the consumer.

 

The question is; for how long canAmericaignore the lesson being lived out in a most certain reality …that of a current day Greek tragedy?

 

 

 

           Inflation on the horizon ….inviting prices to rise as the dollar continues to fall …a solution whose invitation has just about invited every form of mayhem imaginable to a party merely to celebrate the demise of theUS…OPEC not withstanding for starters

 

           Where is a meaningful significant and cohesive energy policy?

 

           Talk about inviting mayhem of any other imaginable shape and form!

 

           Talk about US sovereignty, once above question …one which is now becoming so like the over-stretched dollar …it is more laughable, more so with each passing deficit-riddled annual budget …so much so that there remains nothing but questions …and that …at every turn …also, with each successive passing day.

 

           Such as is the case, what imaginable scenario needs an open invitation to embolden ones enemies to beleaguer and reduce the promises of ones diminished hopes and abilities? Where then, is gone out the light and the strength of leadership’s character which would …which could right a ship which, so far …has been allowed to sail off its once more nobler …and truer course?

 

 

           International currency concerns left, right …and center …the crescendo of the PIGS crashing against rocks …breaking like waves against the shore …one and all not one withstanding.

 

           Commodity and input price squeezes placing pressure on the corporate bottom line …making tax reform a more and greater unlikely certainty.

 

           Lower revenues …lower tax receipts in spite of higher debt load requirements.

 

           Larger budgets …asking more from fewer resources …all the while expecting for less …making for reality’s bleak wake up calls.

 

           Larger deficits which have not been shrinking responsibly at all in the least sense.

 

           Treasury Auctions based upon who knows what …QE-3?

 

           QE-3 …based upon who knows what …a red hot printing press?

 

           Housing data doldrums …stuck in one quagmire after another.

 

           Rising Mortgage Rates …followed by a seemingly endless list of distressed and short sell properties.

 

           Bankrupt properties …held up in lengthy, legal and compounded bureaucratic red-taped processes slammed with fresh fees from court-appointed third-party management sap suckers.

 

           Larger deficits or those which have not been shrinking responsibly in spite of

last November’s mid-term elections. How long does it take for a tea party

to brew fiscal responsibility anyhow?

 

 

           Till hell freezes over or when Obama actually realizes what reality is in spite of his campaign promises.

 

 

Now, if that’s what one could call hope and change; I’ll eat my hat.

 

Now, if that don’t beat all; how is that hopey …changey thing working for you?

 

I don’t know about you; but, I can’t wait until the next election to stand and demand a change which resembles a true hope …one which honors the well founded truths on which our American time honored principals have stood and served this nation’s liberty and the freedoms for which it stands.

 

Now that’s a hope worth fighting for in a cause which will only and always make for a better course …one far better than the one which has been left to tempt a fate worse than death.

 

 

I don’t pretend to speak for all, but reversing the course we are on …this strikes me far better than Obama’s Hopey …Changey thing which merely claims no ownership responsibilities for all that he has merely inherited.

 

 

So, what’s new and exciting about taking responsibility for a meager lackluster economy NOW…when one has been unwilling and unable to commit and take responsibility for the liberty and the freedoms one has inherited …in God we trust …not withstanding?

 

The cost of the lost is and has been in the time of the whine?

 

Now is not the time for whinners.

 

For there is no more time to be wasted in creating more excuses.

 

Now, there can be no more time wasted in pursuits of clever bickerings.

 

Yes, now, there is no sense in the entertainment of one’s whining.

 

Our inheritance and its responsibilities …everything hangs in the balance.

 

Now is the time to make a difference …to stand up and tip the balance …to actually make a difference.

 

Now is time to chart a new course …to head for safe harbor …to sail upon calm seas.

 

Now is time to take principal to application and execute best practices for all that now matters more before we lose the opportunity and say in what all

 

Go figure. Until then, if I have to listen to Ben Bernanke tell me that in spite of how good we NOW have it, in spite of the hint that we still need QE-3 …I say;  bring in the pig with the lipstick.

 

If not, go figure!

 

 

 

One Bad Apple

One Bad Apple

 

…and the whole lot of them to boot.

 

This last week end, in the Wichita Eagle; I read an article which chronicled the demise of the soon to be fated investment energy credit which has until recently been standing as a promising means to offer incentives to those who ways have made decisions to put up and build up and out solar energy in the great state of Kansas …for one …among many other states …as well as countless private citizens who are interested in reducing their dependence and ties to grids which they have no say or choice in matters concerning all things energy.

 

The article reported that these government sanctioned incentives are all slated to be going away …and soon.

 

Seems as though Congress pejorative mantra that effaces; “…We no longer believe that the government should be in the business of picking winners and losers …” is moving us all forward …OR, NOT!!!

 

Speaking of moving forward, one need only be invited to take a historical review of what single government sanctioned incentive has most long well served American the most effectively from a perspective of efficient utilization of capital …private capital not withstanding at that.

 

So, in respect to picking winners and losers …entreat me for a moment longer and let me simply single out one extremely significant group of the most historically important group of winners …those who …through Congress’ lack of due diligence …have and are continuing to move “Us” forward toward an ultimately larger …more untimely failure of private ownership.

 

Congress mantra …driven by the extremes of public debt’s ginormity …is paradoxically continuing to fail to provide adequate considerations (investment incentives) which would otherwise add added measures of personal, private and public oversight and accountability to one of the freedoms Americans have enjoyed the most …until recently when Congress turned their blind eyes on the fiduciary responsibility of safeguarding this freedom’s responsibilities.

 

And if intentionally …or, unintentionally, Congress is still abandoning its oversight’s obligatory responsibilities to return accountability in clear (CONFIDENT …TRUST-BUILDING) measures; their so-called pejorative-led POLITICAL mantra wants to enlarge their pejorative’s definition of what actually constitutes and delineates a winner from a loser.

 

I say; private ownership beware; these groups’ wolves reason revolves around the passionate will to build or dismantle the cloak of debt (taxes) and the mismanagement of it (SPENDING) ….AND have now …these wolves’ rhetoric has become sharp as steak knives and American’s freedom and path to Private Ownership may well already be fated to those who are the ones actually slated to become Congress’ next biggest losers.

 

Therein this single fated group, home owners may likely find themselves in the crossfire of Congress’ political cross-hairs …intentionally …or merely as collateral damage.

 

Regardless, among Lady Liberty’s cornerstone freedoms, there is one unique single freedom which is more at risk today than it ever was.

 

The right and the paths which have provided Americans with their opportunities to enjoy their right and privilege to engage in private ownership by reason of government sanctioned guaranties now stand precariously at risk.

 

At risk from what …one might ask?

 

From a single pejorative …I say …one which has become the weak grasp of an impulsive group which has chosen to bring a knife to a gun fight.

 

Deficient in strength and number this group of legislators may as well just go shoot themselves in their feet …one and all.

 

For the indecencies which have long well provided for home ownership …those which are …for now …still standing …are mostly serving well enough to promote private ownership without any additional need to change the policies which have served to support private ownership.

 

Save for the Fed’s low interest …accommodative policy …there is no other larger incentive to own a home other than the almost sacrosanct …interest mortgage deduction, and sadly …this  may also be on the so called chopping block as a new group of Congressional reps seek to pull their heads out of their rear ends.

 

I only hope they are successful in doing so …so they can wake up in time to figure out what it is that they were sent to Washington to actually accomplish that will “…move America forward …” rather than backward.

 

Bye-bye Miss American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry.

 

Bottom line, the pied piper may be leading all Americans under a banner …calling us all out to fight against huge deficits …to stand united against the unsustainable massive debt, but let’s get real.

 

Let’s not forget to save the baby as we rush in to throw out the bath water.

 

The paradox is that while the mantra of such a sweeping pejorative seemly so well speaks for all by effacing a promise to move “…America forward …;” the nearly ONE TRILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL BUDGETS …have already most certainly picked the real losers …those whose better interests …CONGRESS HAS all but LOST SIGHT OF TOTALLY.

 

For if one is not in support of stimulating private ownership, one may as well confess to being in favor of moving the scope and expanse of the government forward instead.

 

And who needs more bad apples? One bad apple is bad enough, no?

 

As can be clearly seen these last few years; one bad apple has just about spoiled the entire lot …and now,Americais become subject to losing sight of the hope of the power of a leadership which needs be led by a private sector solution.

 

And in regards to whatever paltry recoveryAmericamay be currently enjoying; it truly can’t be the basis for pinning a medal on anyone save the strength of the consumer.

 

Beware of politicians who claim otherwise …for one bad apple will indeed …spoil the whole lot. 

 

May this serve a more sober newly elected 2010 mid-term freshmen class of Congressional representatives.

 

Lead on my friends …lead on boldly!

 

Don’t let go of the reins.

 

Drive on smartly!

 

Above all guide wisely to steer around the wolves and their pejorative’s mantra.

 

For one thing is clear, if you are not up to crafting ways and means that pick winners; America will …that is; if, Americans’ still have a right and a decent path to embrace the opportunity to own a piece of the American dream.

 

Any one care for a piece of American Pie?

 

If so, then …show it and go out of your way to show that you do by wisely picking winners.

 

SupportAmerica.

 

Support Americans.

 

Support American ownership.

 

And if you can not distinguish a winner from a loser; then,Americawill do the job by replacing you in the wake of your miserable failure.

 

Yes, failure is more of an option than a faddy fashion accessory …pejoratives not withstanding.

 

Hand outs are no way to craft incentive for ownership …save promote ones own political office …and that is so passé’.

 

And in this wise; beware …there are bad apples whose design it is to spoil the entire lot by making those who are to come …losers ,,,one and all by reason of an unbridled …unchecked debt.

 

So, the next time you hear someone speak for all by saying; “…We do not believe that the government should be in the business of picking winners and losers …” better take a closer look under the hood.

 

Kick the tires while you are at it too.

 

Your kids and their loser kids may thank you for taking a closer look.

 

Own your destiny; manage your character.

 

Craft your fate …and offer your children the opportunity to do the same as well as you now have a day with which to do something constructive about private ownership.

 

I like my apple pie served up warm and fresh.

 

I like it that way because I am discerning and I am lucky to currently still have a choice and a say in the matter.

 

 

How about you?

 

 

The Real Unemployed Step Up to Be Counted

December 13th, 2011

When the Saints Go Marching In

This is a call to those who have been unemployed long enough to have fallen below the government’s radar screen and are no longer counted in any real context any more.

To those who have fallen between the cracks, I say; ” …Stand up!

Stand up! Reregister, and be counted!”

Send a message to the politicians who take the opportunity to marginalize the reality that the real number of those actually unemployed no longer matter.

How politically convienient is that?

How politically correct is this lie?

How much patronizining is one expected to accept these days …fat cat bankers not withstanding?

More and more, as the runup to the 2012 general elections approaches, what draws nearer are the paradox of the overly optimistic prognostications concerning the level of unemployment which President Obama cavalerly has declared would fall to acceptable levels prior to his bid for re-election.

What’s a body to do to avoid being abused and taken for granted in all of this marginalized false misrepresentation of reality?

I for one know of no one who lives to be taken for granted. I for one have …up until this year …generouusly contributed richly to the body politic, and candidates of my choice …but woe be to them and others …no more.

Instead, today …I am going to march down to my unemployment office and re-register as unemployed.

Yes, I am going to do so like I will also …exercise my right to vote.

But in the meantime …I will re-register; for that is my vote until then.

Who you going to call? Ghostbusters? How about mythbusters?

Statistics coming down on me? NO!!! My registration …instead  …coming down on you, like what?

Like Reality?

Yes, reality counts and B.S. walks, no?

Reality should be a refreshing opportunity to cause politicians to awake from under the radar blankets which have comfortably lulled themselves to sleep …while raising campaing funds in other arenas more promising.

To hell with that!

What matters is reality at the grass roots …where people are hurting.

So, I am urging all unemployed and unregistered to go back down to a state job center and register for work.

Get out the truly unemployed …get out the masses!

Register as unemployed …and read the looks upon the politicians faces who have done nothing but hide from the truth that this nation is suffering …mostly from a lack of leadership which has affected the well being of most sectors of our economy.

And like President Kenedy said; “…Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

Do not expect a handout; but rather a hand up.

Otherwise, take heart and make the choice to get back to work America; but above all things …chose to be in the number. Choose to be counted as one who is trying …making the attempt …one to at least hold the politicians’ feet to the fire.

Register to go to work, but …by all means register as unemployed and be counted for the reality of it all.

Do not let allow this administration the luxury of pulling any punches by the reason of a luxury …that of spinning the numbers in spite of those who have slipped through the cracks.

This also means …America does not need to be misled by the false hopes associated with claims hitched and tied ever so loosely to temporary and seasonally adjusted holiday worker data which is a massaged and overstated data point …one which holds little if no water whatsoever.

Cracked pots hold no water, and America is no dry hole.

Stand up and be counted for the truth of what matters most …the truth of what is the matter.

Geithner, Tripping Out in Disney Land

December 7th, 2011

 

Geoblography; how I express my right to free speech.

 

Europe; Timothy Geithner’s New Disney Land

Tripping Out in Disney Land

 

If Andrea Merkel knows one thing well, it is that the long-range stability of any social system is dependent upon a reliable stable monetary policy which underpins and bolsters a stable currency …the likes of which have historically benefited her country’s former currency …the German Deutsch Mark …that is up until Helmut Kohl and the era which will be known as post reunification.

But know this …as well does Frau Merkel; since the end of WW II, the German government was precluded from running deficit budgets as per the guidelines spelled out in of one of the many provisions of what is little known as the Status of Forces Agreement …a.k.a., The SOFA Agreement.

Helmut Kohl is also intimately familiar with the SOFA.

His people sent him to rest on one in the 90′s after this particular FISCAL RESTRAINT’ was rescinded and the allies gave the German Government a long rope with which to hang itself.

Under Helmut Kohl’s leadership and vision, his expensive, monumental commitment to reunification paved the way to conspire against the German post-war social prosperity.

The demise of this particular provision of the SOFA agreement is precisely that which threatened and ultimately effectually ushered in this new era and struck the death knoll of the luxury of the long-standing status of Germany’s prized pinnacle of their social system  …their coveted pension system …the center of which underwrote the largest piece of the German social system’s benefits.

Politically upset this long-standing benefit …and any politician could kiss their sweet bippy goodbye.

In keeping with Chancellor Helmut Kohl’s post-reunification’s efforts; Germany amassed a ginormous debt which almost immediately came with a ginormous service cost which immediately encroached upon said prized pinnacle …thus, reducing this prized possession  to a mere whippy fraction of its former glory.

Imagine that! A government’s undertaking …forming an obligation so large that its excesses have …risen …exceeding the need and its ability to consider the primary better interests of its people?

How much of an imposition would that be?

A slap in the face?
Now, that could happen here, could it?

News flash, people …it already has …on both continents.

After all, we have been conditioned and readied to live and serve a global economy more so than sovereign interests.

It is not like we all have become highly correlated so much as we have become slaves to serve a mutual panacea called debt service.

Hey gang! Let’s get loaded …debt loaded that is!

And who is the leader of this gang today?

Why it is Timothy Geithner to the rescue.

However, there is one who is less deserving of credibility …yet, one who still seems bent on teaching and guidingEuropein a lesson by a poor example.

Now, honestly …how could that be construed to by  …leadership by example????

Good Lord! Denial is not just another meeting with Timothy Geithner.

It is not like, Gheither knows how swap spreads and exotic mortgage products work. And it is not like he helped package and sell this crap to the world along with Larry Summers.

Now, I wonder what new crap he’s got up his sleeves that is not related to securitized debt?

And in this manner’s routines, I can’t help but wonder what business he has in offering advice toGermany.

Silly rabbit; tricks are for kids. TRIX Cereal …play it again Sam!

I can only imagine Geithner saying; “…Don’t do as I do; do as I say …”

Like, that example is going to go over any better than a led brick, no?

He might as well as offer up a securitized idea like Crap and Trade which is nothing more than a liberal’s road map to governmental prosperity. I mean, like …what else would or could one expect from a liberal other than tax scheme hell bent on justifying an unscrupulous means to raise money to fuel a out right bankrupt social system ….especially while free market capitalism stands on a precipice called a double-dip recession.

A reason to tax in any season does not well serve good timing.

It is not as though any liberal would not and could not embrace that as being a fair road to travel down.

However, taxes are a plan which is paved with no more good intentions than, perhaps the need for power?

Or perhaps Timothy could offer his example of leadership by reason of the crutch he enjoys at home …a printing press solution …one which could be called a one-world printing press’ path towards a one-world government.

Snake!

Geithner might as well show up with an apple in hand …pointing to the tree of in the center of the garden …if he tries to sell the idea that German prosperity and stability lies in this path.

In this way, I rather doubt Merkel will bite.

I would cringe, for in this way; every government could become joined at the hip by inflation’s most efficient mechanism’s machinations.

However, knowing what Merkel knows, and knowing how and why Merkel is so opposed to taking a path toward embracing a choice to print and sell the Euro Bonds, one has to wonder what in the Hell does Timothy Geithner have to offer one who is in real need of a plan which desires to set a course instead toward the shores of fiscal responsibility rather than an example of manifest deficits.

In my humble opinion, Merkel andGermanyshould show Timothy Geithner the SOFA and offer him an early flight home.

After all, he has his hands full without needing to escape reality.

Isn’t Disney Land enough of a Fantasy?

Let’s get real …as in agreeing to equally embrace the necessary disciplinary measures of austerity.

 

After all, on this trip …there are no more short cuts to tune in …drop out …and turn on to any more.

Is Doing Nothing the New Vogue?

December 3rd, 2011

Friday, December 02, 2011

 

 Geoblography; How I express my individual right to free speech. 

 

What if they gave a garage sale and no one showed?

 What if they gave a European Bond Auction and no one showed?

 

Recently, one of my friends complained of the lack of progress plaguing the economy, rocking the equity markets, raising volatility to extremes here-to-fore never seen so high and shaking consumer confidence …all at a time most inopportune …that preceding the holiday seasons.

Talk about poor timing!

Speaking about which, does Jon Corzine know something about timing the market that no one else does? And in regard to timing savvy, how about Congress which set a date for Corzine’s testimony in Washington for December 8th  …a day before the December 9th European Economic Summit???

All bits of curious timing are they not?

I wonder who just might be the bigger inside trader, Congress or Corzine.

Wouldn’t it be a bigger insider trading scandal if it were ever discovered to be the case that some of Corzine’s heavy-hitter clients included members of Congress …mutual partners in his crimes?

 Alas, I digress, for the occurrences of such everyday practices do not depend on …nor turn on one such as a single Jon Corzine, but the crux of the matter is that information is valuable and the power to make one rich from the inside out. Understandable, how one comes by that information and then subsequently privately used is quite another multidimensional mystery …especially inside the beltway.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!!

Alas, I digress still further, but take a moment to reflect on the sad picture of the power of conflict …and then turn the other cheek and your aggregate blind eye. Then do nothing about it but shake your head in denial-like disbelief …more honestly known in honesty as denial’s deceit. Lie on …lie on.

On the other hand …and on the other side of both isles though, Lisa Shalett …who is a member of Merrill Lynch’s Investment Officer Team wrote in the November 29th, 2011 issue of CIO Reports VIEW; “ …Markets are inherently impatient and abhor a lack of clarity and certainty.”

I mention this to call attention to an exception to the overarching generality mentioned above in the Merrill Lynch report, for there is obviously an apparent and most obvious paradox which forms an exception to this market theorem in that it fails to take into account the extent to which Congress and other governing bodies participate in trading on their own unique insider information.

None the less, for her report on the recent developments in Europe, see the following full report at:

http://www.wealthmanagement.ml.com/publish/mkt/pdfs/The-Cost-of-Can-Kicking.pdf

 

None the less, returning to my friend’s comment, I responded to him by asking; “Are you referring to all the uncertainty that has come out of Washington since the Tea Party came to town to rescue the states and Free Market Capitalism out of the hands of  the liberal socialist’s Big-Government agenda?

This thankless job has shaken up both sides of the isles, yes? 

Someone or something had to do the dirty work; and it might as well have been known as the Tea Party which expressed the public’s push-back.

This administration, which started out had a super majority …stood alone and almost totally unopposed for the better part of two years prior to the November 2010 mid-terms.

As it were, in this time …this administration stood ready …more than half-bent on tearing apart just about every one of this country’s institutions …one and all.

This was when all the patient needed was a chance to obtain the cure that would have led to organic Main Street healing.” Instead, this administration has made enemies of business and Wall Street.

Does not the Tea Party deserves more appreciation …regardless of the minority extremist elements whose dynamics are just part and parcel of every political party’s spectra and makeup?

Damm! I regress still more and so, I must return to the thread of my friend’s disparaging comments regarding the lack of market clarity.

“No …;”  he replied, “ …I mean the lack of both a clear plan which is cable of demonstrating a level of commitment in and to a solid greater sense of overarching purpose …one which is simply able to build the sort of (MULTIDIMENSIONAL) will which PROVIDES THE INCENTIVES which will provide the unity necessary to support the sort of spirit which will ignite a fire that will ensure the continued formation of Euro strength …which can ensure a secure, sound and cohesive federated Europe.

In this regard, there needs to be much more clarity regarding the details of all of the Euro plan’s proposals …all of every part and parcel’s pieces which are coming out of these on-going European summits.”

 

To this, I ask him if it should be reasonable to expect Europe to perform any better than Washington’s rather poor witness. As evidenced …and as it was in the ways and means in which Washington extended the Busch Tax Provisions …or of how much rancor preceded Congress’ move to raise the debt ceiling limits …Washington is not the light on the hill that it used to be, no?

Certainly, Washington has lost the opportunity to lead by example …in a manner which is exemplary that is, yes?

 

To this, he just shook his head and went on to bemoan that, at best …all that he has been able to ascertain from the reports of the events emanating from Europe …thus far, has been nothing but mere rumors. Furthermore, he objected to what he perceived to be forthcoming as being little more than modest hints of a growing need to craft a plan …rather than actually clarifying any of the actual details of any such plans’ and these plans’ planned proposals.

As is …I believe that my friend’s frustration centers on the lack of clarity coming out of Europe. Such as it were …this lack of clarity has failed to highlight much of any specifics beyond merely releasing calendar dates ad nasueum, after which …all that seems to be follow are still more announcements for the mere purpose of making more plans for a plan.

I.E.; sounds like, “Stay tuned for details of the next regularly scheduled planned meeting.”

 

Admittedly, I must say that these plans and the scarcity of any such proposed plans’ details and highlights are still very elusive points of a very contentious elixir …those which only fuel more speculative uncertainty …calling into question the degree over which the 17 members of the EU may …or may not fully embrace any plan or aspect of a plan …providing that a final draft eventuality is crafted to a point that they can finally come to the point of reaching a point from which they might be able to speak of a date for a vote on possibly reaching an agreement.

Before all this, any talk of a release date of any final draft’s proposal must be looked at as shear speculation …especially in view of such a lack of clarity.

 

Yet, in regards to what details have been released for discussion; I hear that the British are now raising objections to some of these aspects of the forthcoming details of this plan’s proposals.

 

For more on this, refer to the following article titled “The Merkel plan: I’ll save the euro with a federal Europe” from The Independent at:

 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/the-merkel-plan-ill-save-the-euro-with-a-federal-europe-6271544.html

 

Naturally, a dissenting voice or two in any foray would be normal when there are so many European countries that will have to have a say in order to come to any agreement in order to adopt workable, strict guidelines which needs must apply necessary limits in order to regulate and enforce fiscal responsibility and oversight. Iron is said to sharpen iron.

On the other hand, there is more than that which points to the contrary.

Case in point …the machinations and failure of a not so super Super Committee …and all of that which is still to follow.

Thus, as regarding any such European provision’s mechanism’s machinations …such must have teeth in order to provide some measure of (TEA PARTY-LIKE) clarity on all of the various proposals needed to implement measures of provisional fiscal austerity that are …and will be needed in order to effectively hold every one of the EU member countries’ feet to the fire.

 Sounds like an opportunity for the U.S. to say; “…Do as I say; not as I do.”

As is, more concrete information regarding these highly anticipated controversial details may be forth coming December 9th at a most critical European Economic Summit, but I would not be surprised if it were to be the case that more meetings should be announced …in the true spirit of “Can Kicking.”

 

Much patient work obviously remains to be done in order to thoroughly work through all of the critically crucial details which must be part of any overall plan which can and will be able to underwrite and strengthen a more federated European Union …the powers of a printing press not withstanding.

 

For more information on this summit’s detail’s, see the following article titled (Dec. 9th: The Beginning Of The End Game For The Eurozone ) from Seeking Alfa’s website at:

Q:  What is the bottom line, other than continued volatility in the wake of certain uncertainly and a horizon over which there is no end to our continent’s mutual reliance upon and addiction to debt?

 

A: Rome was not built in a day.

 

Or was that …not destroyed in a day?

 

One thing for sure is that our forefather’s unity was purposed in “forming” …not “creating” a more perfect union.

 A house is only as strong as its weakest link …or was that a reference to a chain?

So, while Europe is trying to unify, what has America been up to lately?

Dividing the house…? Yes, so true before the Tea Party arrived on the scene.

Now, both party’s efforts have united to divide the Tea Party.

Seems as though no one is satisfied until they have a scapegoat and can in true two-step fashion …side-step, back-peddle and otherwise turn loose of and avoid altogether any culpability, blame and the shame of failing to actually do something which is capable of forming a more perfect union …that in service to “…We the People …”

 

At any rate, and in my judgments’ most humble opinion; I turn to take comfort in knowing that there is a certain patience which has historically served to allow Americans to enjoy the privileges of our history’s experience. America has a long and rich heritage which has been shaped by the examples which formed the constitution of the United States of America …its amendments not withstanding.

 

As needed, “…We the People …” have patiently exercised a rule of law that applies responsible practices with deliberate prudence through an almost painfully slow and arduous process of patience, experience, understanding, wisdom, hope and love for the spirit of liberty …for which it stands …one nation …under God.

However, haste does make waste. And …time and time again, as history is prone to repeating itself in teaching all from any one of numerous, misguided haste’s painful lessons.

 So guidance is …or should be a more sure council from which to take and learn any numerous lessons in view. And from wisdom’s light, leadership by example should make it easy to find the ways and means to craft prosperous workable means in the purpose of the pursuits of liberty.

And in this manner, “We …the People …” exercised this nation’s UNIFIED love affair with Her Liberty’s God-given freedoms …fiercely protecting each one with utmost of care in respect of the Giver’s intent that “…We the People …” would take responsibility for this bond’s spirit …the central crux of His gift’s (Liberty’s) gifts …a.k.a. the freedoms which must not be taken for granted …not in silence …nor by doing nothing and saying less …till a point in time in which it becomes too late to act and respond more soberly.

 

However, when men actually do nothing to provide due diligence to FORM and protect a more perfect union …failure becomes manifestly more and more a greater likelihood, weakened by means of haste, which …when lacking reason, turns to the weaker emotionally driven trembling of …fear, heightened …by more than which demonstrates …the reality that…

FAILURE …principally …IS INDEED AN OPTION …regardless whether failure’s fickle finger of fate touches the shores blessed by capitalism or those others more committed to socialism.

 

Case in point: a growing number of failed European bond auctions last week …which resulted in producing the manifestation of a heightened level of haste which was sensed abroad and around the world so much so that its repercussions rocked equity markets like earthquakes and shocked this nation’s Federal Reserve which was moved to react by extending an added unprecedented stop-gap measure making monetary commitments to help bolster European banks.

 

As a result, US equity markets rebounded with resilience in producing a resounding rally which has long not been seen in quite some time …the DOW rising in a single day to close above the previous month’s entire losses.    

Talk about having to cover your shorts! Even Jon Corzine could have won on this if …he just could have held out long enough to see the day. But, then again …he still would have done so illegally.

But on the flip-side of a short, there is a long side to the skinny side of any bet.

For more on this subtle point, see the movie, Margin Call.

Speaking of which, Jon Corzine knows about margin. Unfortunately for his clients, the aspect of margin was also exaggerated by an excessive measure of leverage in the jaws of manifest poor prudence (volatility not withstanding) all while believing that one can time the markets with impunity.

The height of delusion is that reality often escapes the imagination.

 Of course, liberals are above this sort of thing, no? Yes, and such pretzel logic proves them WRONG …DEAD WRONG …time and time again!

Regardless, long story-short; it should be more than abundantly clear that if one is unworthy of credit; just like a junky who must go through the pain of a managed withdrawal …the reality of a pound of cure is paid for in the purchase of an ounce of pain. 

The good purpose of any sacrifice does not come without pain. Often this is just as true for healing as it is in death.

 

And, as they say; no pain is …no gain. This holds regardless however so adverse despising shame may be. Often, something must die in order for something to live.

 

Corzine will needs must die out to self. When will Congress ever not need a scapegoat …a whipping boy …public proof that it is doing its job openly …that is more than it is behind closed doors or …with the man behind the curtain?

 

Is there joy in despising shame like this?

 

Certainly no less than Jon Corzine may suffer in his upcoming testimony before Congress scheduled for December 8th.

 

However, what remains to be seen and heard may rest upon a single paradox:  Mr. Corzine’s right to …say and do nothing.

 

On this point, I would like to say one thing; Jesus Christ, Jon Corzine is not!

 

For more on Mr. Corzine’s upcoming testimony see the article titled “House Panel Subpoenas Corzine to Testify in MF Global Inquiry” from Deal Book’s section of the New York Time’ website at: 

http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/12/02/house-committee-subpoenas-corzine/

 

Sadly, this do-nothing …say-even-less sort of thing seems to be a guideline whose ploy is becoming more and more in vogue …both in Europe as it is in America. Sort of has a Lord’s Prayer catch to it, no?

Leadership by example …indeed!!!

 However, there comes a time when external forces conspire …like an unplanned …unexpected margin call …like that of a surprising short squeeze.

Such events turn suddenly against one to force one’s hand.

Like folding in poker, failure is indeed an eventual option no matter how well the cards may be dealt.

Like wise, a garage sale’s fire-sale prices are always the tell-tale sign of a spirit of final resignation …one which is normally reserved for the third …or, last day of the sale …but not for the first day.

No one bets or plans on that, but that is just the sort of thing that happened in Europe twice at the end of the week before last …coming into fruition by way of two failed European bond auctions.

However, maybe such failures are to be honestly expected if one could see that the wages of continuously hoping for something while actually doing nothing.

This is what I call a “something-for-nothing mentality. Some have poked fun at this mind-set by calling it a “…Hopey …Changey thing …”

And it is a mind-set behind which too many have been asked to hide behind all too long …hoping against the odds so as to HOPE to avoid the deluge of an unavoidable oncoming scourge.

In reality, doing nothing and hoping for change is the makings of insanity.

In vogue indeed! Doing and saying nothing is no longer a workable option Mr. Obama …no more than is Jon Corzine not wanted as a principal accessory in all of his crimes which involve a liberal’s boat-load of contempt …which is not just another high-fashion Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction.

It is a pathological political malfunction …a  pathogen whose contagion smacks of more than a liberal excuse to deliberately engage in politically aided professional abuse.

Sadly, what is in vogue is the deceit which is misled by a spirit of lying that lures too many to believe that it politically correct to game the system for one’s own personal enrichment …insider trading not withstanding. Talk about the height of conflict contrasting mandated public service to politically aided greed! Paradox upon paradox! Grievous compounded error! Justice done? The possibility of Crime abounds instead …hidden behind a façade of public service.

This is neither what governance nor ownership is all about, but then again …what is …is the joy of knowing the pain of sacrifice in public service if is not worth suffering through even the ultimate sacrifice despite the most despicable forms of shame …publicly being unjustly put to death.

In ownership, despite the shame, where there is no pain there is no gain …especially when it either ain’t your money …or, one merely inherited this mess.

However, in a measure of ownership, owners can actually be counted on to show up with a presence and commitment to that purpose …one which has long served in the better interest unity …regardless of the pain of the purpose which calls one to the alter of sacrifice.

The highest value of sacrifice is manifest in knowing the measure of one’s inheritance and the honor it is to responsibly express and execute the will of one’s executive office …the law of liberty not withstanding.

So, with the law of the mind …I serve the law; but with the law of the spirit, Liberty and life in freedom!

That is what Thanksgiving is all about for me …for starters.

I personally, believe that is a fine way to be doing all things …that is …with thanksgiving.

And in this way, grace …unlike doing nothing, shall forever be in vogue.

 

Respectfully,

Super Committee: Trade; The Master’s Hand

Super Committee: Trading The Master’s Hand

 

 

Once upon a time, trade guilds ruled the world primarily due to the significance of how important they were in successfully promoting trade.

 

 

The effectiveness of Trade guilds and the reasons for their successes have so many ramifications which persist even to this day and age, but none were as important as the underlying fundamental principals that formed the underpinnings which build upon and strengthen trust …and the resulting lasting quality of their target’s assurances.

 

Such as they were ………much of the successes of their cause and affects relied and rested upon making …or insuring that these coveted target assurances of each guild’s craft were taught in a precise and standardized consistent manner …one which reflected well on the masteries of the guilds’ crafts’ targets and objectives.

 

And in this manner, the confidence each guild sought to promote benefited both the members and the artisans’ patrons alike;

 

…and trade flourished in the LIGHT OF the emphasis placed upon each guilds’ targeted high level of quality workmanship each masteries sought, strived and obtained.

 

The history of culture speaks volumes in terms of the praise due the guild system.

 

In this system, anyone’s individual pursuit begins at the bottom; as an apprentice’s helper …and with any patience, moves on through a succession of performance which speaks to the experience and level of training one receives from one’s master teachers’ skillful guidance and close oversight.

 

From the level of an apprentice, with still more patience and experience; one moves on to become a journeyman.

 

From here, finally …for the journeyman; there comes a day of reckoning in which the journeyman’s master gives an assignment to the journeyman which involves an all-encompassing number of multidimensional set of intertwined tasks necessary to demonstrate the journeyman’s LEVEL OF COMPETANCIES IN EACH PARTICULAR SKILL SET THAT THE MASTER HAS IMPARTED TO HIS STUDENT JOURNEYMAN …all those which the master has patiently labored to build his student’s able capabilities.

 

And in this challenge, the master’s assignment becomes the last test and hurdle to his student who has journeyed long and hard to arrive at this destination …the test which …if overcome …will allow the journeyman to stand once and for all as …AN APPROVED MASTER himself.

 

All crafts’ pursuits of this goal have long benefited this end save one or two.

 

The first exception includes a guild called politics otherwise well known in some lesser circles as the study of law.

 

The other is also well known and has often been referred to as the oldest profession on earth …second only to politics.

 

Case in point, today’s failure of the not so super …Super Committee.

 

With respect to masteries; the mastery of politics seems more bent on mastering the arts and crafts of the sorts the behind the curtains’ scenes which in terms of Congressional trading techniques have benefited a small number of insider traders whose interests stand not as those which are approved by masters …so much as they are allowed by those who have been led to the slaughter in the numerous pretextual pretenses which should otherwise do more than merely allude to public service in the wake of endless pointless and empty rhetoric’s deceitful misguided counting frauds which service nothing that could ever hope to resemble all of what trust’s more exemplary callings should be answered.

 

Truth be told, this is a revealing sad day forAmerica.

 

Super Committee indeed!

 

Preposterous!

 

The goals of today’s body politic are as much all over the map as is the level of volatility in today’s equity markets.

 

Nothing else come close in being so erratic …save for the level of confidence and contempt Americans hold for Congress and this administration.

 

Maybe, there is a need for a third or fourth political party.

 

Better yet, maybe the message of last November 2010’s mid-terms need be reiterated in this upcoming 2012’s general election.

 

Looks to me like no one party has a leg to stand upon to claim that they stand approved as a workman that needs not to be ashamed …rightly doing right by the American people.

 

After all, choice breeds competition and competition …solution.

 

But instead …today; all that Congress has to showAmericais contempt.

 

Americans are all to well familiar with that …and all know what that breeds more of than less …especially in all of that which can be seen moving forward …or backward from a most painfully obvious S & P downgrade to a ginormous credit problem …one which is getting no more attention than is electioneering engineering.

 

What has happened here today inAmericaclosely resembles the oldest profession in the world, and is rather reflective of a body politic that sucks royally in every sense of that self-serving profession’s preoccupation.

 

Washington, blow me!

 

That goes double with respect to that catch-up-king-wan’na-be.

 

With respect to the real significance of the Super Committee, in respect of trade and the importance of such …I would rather say; be careful not to bite the hand of the master (commerce) that feeds you …especially ahead of and going into the holiday seasons.

 

Obviously, this is something …somewhat of an afterthought taken in comparison to the importance of 2012’s looming more seemingly significant self-serving opportunities

 

I’ll have my say on this day again in 2012!

 

Happy Holidays!
