My Worry List today

Oh I forgot! For those who are keeping track, the time that I posted this was 6:38am. I have to dispel that worry.

From Nostradamus:

During a period of continuing unrest, the leader of a Middle Eastern country will be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. He will go to the greatest lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the weapon because of his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.

One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of dark-colored cliffs.

The Antichrist will take over Iran by using a human decoy to trick the Iranian Ayatollah in power. This will involve the "yes men" and puppets of the Ayatollah's court. The Antichrist will first drive away internal supporters of the Ayatollah by starting a civil war. Then he will put forth a man as a leader, a man for Iranians loyal to the Ayatollah to concentrate their hate on. The man will be assassinated while Iran is being taken over, and his opponents will think they have foiled the overthrow of power by assassinating him. But they will find out later he was merely a decoy and that they played into the plans of the Antichrist.

The Antichrist will initially obtain power in his own sphere, Asia, and the Middle East. As he grows out of this arena, and into Europe, the next step will be into the Mediterranean, his area of strength. Because of his Middle Eastern heritage he will have already united North Africans, who are sympathetic to his cultural background, with his Asian and Middle Eastern conglomerate.

Fiasco from communication breakdown between two superpowers

Not that I'm a firm believer in all of Nostradamus's work but the guy has been fairly accurate. Yes, Yes I know it'all interpertation but some of it is frighteningly close to what we have today. Isn't 2012 supposd to to be the year?

Bazooka, Maybe we arent' spending enough money yet? I need a couple new guns and alot more ammo.

Kim, I don't give a tinkers **** when you post. You are always honest and accurate. These peopel that are complaining apparently need to check in at Job Service before they start posting on here. Keep up the good work.

Maybe we need to flood Genn Becks email about Jennings and see if he can get something started...worked for Van Jones and ACORN.

Time: 0753hrs and it's my day off!

oops...I didn't do a good job of proof reading..should have said NOT a firm believer in all of his work..sorry to confuse anyone.

Hey gang....I actually agree with Mummar Qaddafi. No really! He said the UN should be moved to Libya. I say call the movers and get it out of here!

Nostradamus and doomsday prophecies are just sad excuses to legitimize nutcases.

I would say that religion is divisive but having a national day of prayer for Islam is window dressing. Trying to appear tolerant usually tells the other that one wants to impress. I would say lets not play show and tell with the world and just take care of ourselves.

Great blog Kim, but, the death of the US Census worker was done by a murderer or just a plain crazy person....These people hated the government before Obama....There are ALOT of people who HATE the government that do not murder government employees.....That was some back woods redneck Deliverance stuff going on there. Like "get off my land, we dont take to kindly to strangers in these parts" stuff. Yes, it is very concerning and very very sad, but, it probably would have happened to any outsider walking down the road, in my humble opinion only.....The time is now 1:08 pm, not sure why Im posting that though :)

Hehehehehe, I have written all of your times down for the record. I certianly hope that others who feel the need to keep track of us have duly noted it too. ;) Thanks all for giving me a smile. Welcome kcp11! I agree that the banjo was probably playing in the backwoods of Kentucky and it is just sad that that poor man walked down the wrong road.

You gonna hang em Blow-zooka? Sometimes you are extrememly ignorant. What would you do? It is not ever ok to murder someone, you do realize that dont you Mike? You are almost making it sound like its ok that this happened because you and Kentucky dont like this government.....WOW!

This scares me.

I don't believe this is what anyone voted for. No matter what anyone says, indroctrination is being done very slowly,and is hidden and being excused away.

Omar?! Omar Kadafi?!

Are you kiddin' me?!

bazookaman, you wrote, "That's why they WILL pull it off this time if they aren't stopped."

What is "it" that "they" will "pull off"?

Mr. Dave Thomson: Is that all you have to comment about? The spelling of that idiot's name. I think that my simplified spelling of his name was totally appropriate. He's a joke but not to be taken lightly-seriously a concern. (Yeah, it's Sat. no need to justify my time)

Okay, Kim. I'll comment on my "worry" that a big business like Wal-Mart has placed a limit on how much ammunition I can buy because some twit sees stealthy black helicopters hovering over his house.

I'll comment that the President used the word "I" when he told ABC's Terry Moran that, quoting President Obama, "I think that we don't get the right health care in the right circumstances."

I'll comment on your "worry" of being lumped in with any homicidal crazies who may also be disenchanted with this government. Very few would appreciate being included in such a group. However, regarding Bank of America, you appear to support a few of B of A's customers (to include a government entity) and the actions they have taken against B of A, although it appears the flag pulling was initiated by a low level employee. You say, "The word America should be stripped from their signs." What of the rest of B of A's employees? Are they America haters too?

I'll comment on your "worry" that, quoting you, "... Obama has been embracing the middle-east countries at an alarming rate and they have never proved to be great bedfellows." This comment demonstrates the limits of your knowledge of a complex, decades old foreign policy that despite it's flaws and missteps over those decades, this policy has managed to facilitate the delivery of much of the crude oil that is a resource used to protect and defend our country, and also give us a level of liberty that our Founding Fathers could not possibly have fathomed. Could they have dreamed of crossing our nation in flight?

I'll comment on the Kevin Jennings appointment to Assistant Deputy Secretary, Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools, which was announced on May 19, 2009. Mr. Jennings has held other positions in state and federal governments, and has been writing books for some time. Why do you suppose no action appears to have been taken by law enforcement when "He didn't report a sexual affair between a student and a teacher."? Why did you delay in bringing your worries to our attention? Is your search for the "truth" driven by someone else's agenda? Perhaps it is driven by someone who has a staff that is driven to discover and exploit information that may be developed into inflammatory issues in order to appeal to your "worries" and maintain their market share.

I'll comment on your concern over the local election that will be decided by the flip of a coin. May the best man win.

Conspiracy theory types are usually idiots or nut cases that dont have enough facts or reason to back up their fears. They cant win the debate with solid ideas or anything respectable like that so they used impassioned, fear-mongering, hateful speech that cant be proved or disproved. It makes them feel adequate and important. They somehow something that the world is too ignorant to see. They have this advantage due to clarity of mind or whatever nonsense they can dream up. I prefer to look at facts and historical record to back up any argument that I put forth.

Limits on Ammo. It is just the natural ebbs and flows of supply and demand.

Right.

We just load more ammo if we run short. No ebbs and flows of supply and demand.

What's happening? Where? See what?

And don't give me any cursory comparisons between Obama and Hitler either.

In a letter to the Editor of the Mountain Home News, dated Wednesday, 23 September 2009, Mr. James Loris states he is a "... veteran of a foreign war", who, "says no -- emphatically no! To any government control of anything".

Continuing to the body of his letter, Mr. Loris mentions treason and an oligarchy of "would-be rulers". However, Mr. Loris offered no evidence of treason by this or any other administration. He merely offered the "smell".

In an ambiguous statement, Mr. Loris says, "I see your actions as a nefarious rising up against an established constitutional republic." And of course, Mr. Loris provides no examples of specific actions which are furthering the "nefarious rising" he sees.

In the next paragraph, Mr. Loris contradicts himself. Following his correct reference to our constitutional republic, he refers to "This present oligarchy...". The Constitution makes no provision for an oligarchy.

Unfortunately for Mr. Loris, the second sentence of his letter negates whatever argument he may be attempting to outline. In it he states, "We have a constitution of checks and balances that work just fine."

Calm down, Mr. Loris. If you step back and think, I'm sure you'll find some benefit to some government control, particularly in the areas of defense and veterans benefits.

As I write this, I have been studying the rise of the German Youth organizations. It is a real eye-opener. History can teach us alot if we would only pay attention to it. Historical facts are what I read about. What I see happening with the singing of praises to a man, a president that others have compared to Christ, is my next post. First, I will read history and write about that so that you, the reader can decide how significant it is. Stay tuned folks, cause I'm sure that there will be a healthy debate about this. (It's Sunday so I don't care what time it is that I post.)

I'm sure we'll be astonished at your insight, madam.

Regarding worry number 5, see

Worrying to much causes a lot of stress and grey hair. Think Positive ! (Hugs)

I have read Mein Kempf and can read German and your insight is full of holes. The differences are vast and the background events could not be more different. If you can back up your inflammatory rhetoric with one thing that can stand to a test of pure, unpolitical logic and reasoning then I will listen.

I don't believe the forced vaccination thing, because, "Many of you may have heard rumors that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is

planning to impose mandatory vaccinations as part of our response to the H1N1 (swine) flu

pandemic. These rumors are not true. The Department of Public Health will not call for or

authorize mandatory vaccination against the pandemic flu. There are no public health officials

on the state, national, or global level calling for forced vaccination for H1N1. These rumors

appear to be part of a deliberate effort to misinform concerned citizens about state and national

pandemic response efforts."

As far as takeovers go, I do not believe the government wants to be in the car business. GM will be offering an IPO of common stock in early 2010. We'll see what happens then. Until then, the people who are still fortunate enough to work for GM will be living on pins and needles.

Yes, I saw the video of the kids. I suppose having children sing about a President is only okay if the President they're singing about is dead. It was part of a project those little kids appeared to be proud to participate in. While their teacher is a government employee, I do not believe this project was a government directed effort at indoctrination.

"Complete" abandonment of the Constitution? That's a bit extreme don't you think? I have seen no violent, misguided efforts to consolidate power. What elements of the Constitution have been abandoned?

The Fairness Doctrine has been addressed before. When a radio market is filled with programming bent toward one view, it would be fair to all to present that market with programming with a different view. This proposition has been around since before you and I were born.

Right on twilcox1978!

There are similarities that one can draw between Bush and Caecescu. One can justify and rationalize anything. If you read into something enough, one can draw connections. I object to govt. takeovers but not because it is unpatriotic. I object because it is not wise from an economic and logical standpoint.

""Logic" and common sense obviously do NOT run together"". Is that not sad because I would feel that using one's neurons would be more beneficial than overreacting and looking stupid. Just giving someone a gun or a sword does not make them a man or someone worth respecting. They have to have the brains to use it and know when to not.

"What I see happening with the singing of praises to a man, a president that others have compared to Christ"

If someone is doing that, they are foolish. Christ had no political motives. I am not religious but have done enough research to back that up. Indoctrination is a bit extreme. The upcoming post that connects this and Hitler's Youth is a reach. The social conditions are apples and oranges. Instead of panicking and spouting uninformed rhetoric, why does one not try to beat them at their own game? Hmmm.... that takes too much time and is not quite as sexy...

Side note, I wonder how the cap and trade proposals are coming along. The more that I read, the more it seems to be more about income redistribution and less about the environment.

I'm not sure how cap and trade works, but as I understand it, as years progress, there will be fewer carbon credits available to trade, which will affect prices for energy generated from sources that produce carbon emissions. As prices for these energy resources, such as coal, increase, I understand prices for energy from alternative sources will become more competetive. Maybe those price differences would increase job opportunities in the alternative energy sector. I'd be interested in building a home that was "off the grid", and if the break even point between conventional and alternative sources of electricity would reach a level that would make it financially beneficial, I'd go "off the grid".

As a percentage of disposable income, this is going to be a huge hit to the lower end of the economic spectrum in the Midwest. It will affect other areas but not quite to the same degree.

I dont know of a better plan but this seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

As far as cap and trade go, I've heard this will take place over several years, with the cap decreasing over the course of time.

That is true. I have read the official Obama position on this and the more detailed form of this as presented by the Congressional Budget Office. The first cap would go into place in 2012. That would be 15% below that of 2005 levels of emission.

My concern is that the midwest which is highly populated and has a disproportionate amount of people on the low end of the economic scale will be hit hard. Energy bills will go up between 5 and 25% depending on who they get their power from. Those who can easily clean up their act will increase their prices less. I think that Congress enabled older, less efficient, high-sulfur coal plants to exist too long. Now people are dependent on them and they are few immediate substitutes. New plants can be built but only at tremendous expense. They could also be retrofitted or transfer their production to another more efficient plant. Again these ideas have a cost to them.

Who will absorb these costs? Consumers will. Producers will have the "tax" levied upon them and then pass it on to consumers. This is not to have a pity party for poor consumers but just simple economics. The poorer that one is, the more this increase is going to affect one. This goes past just coal but that is my point for now.

I haven't read the CBO's report. I'll have to look it up.

Perhaps over the next few years, new markets more favorable to alternative energy sources will emerge in those areas of the midwest that may be hit hard by price increases due to the carbon cap in place on their energy provider.

Providers who produce power with coal may also elect to invest in alternative energy sources or other technologies that may be available to reduce carbon emissions, rather than pay the "tax" that will be levied on them if they exceed their cap.

One political obstacle that they are going to have to wrestle with is loss of jobs. Alternative energy is inherently more capital intensive than that of coal. Regardless of whether they impose a tax or undertake cap and trade, this is inevitable.

I am a strong supporter of alternative energy but I also know its limitations. This program will also demand that 1/5 of all power generated by a firm come from alternative sources. There will be offsets but I have not been able to ascertain what effect they will have on the big picture.

I agree that alternative energy is capital intensive and it has it's limitations. But, LCD tv's and other technologies that are commonplace and affordable today are built with components that were considered limited and capital intensive technologies just a few years ago.

If it is passed, it will force people to make tough choices. The fourteen states that are the most dependent on coal have some of the lowest incomes as well. Those same states are among the top 18 states in manufacturing output. This seems like it is going to cause a decrease in demand for electricity and manufactured goods in those states. Decreased purchasing power on the part of the lower quintile of the population will result in loss of jobs that may not be recaptured.

Yes, I agree that it will force or motivate technologies that are now uncompetitive to become so. I support that idea but feel that the income redistribution that is going to result from this is not going to be very well taken. I dont know of any other way to do it so maybe they are going to have to eat some humble pie.
