Spain's "Austerity" --- Protests Expand

The LSM here in the USA hardly mention the protests in Madrid where the parliament was surrounded the other day. Spain has some serious problems with 40% YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT, that's 16-21 year olds who don't have a job and with plenty of energy are in for a good fight with the authorities. How long will these protests last? Will the Spanish people "accept austerity"? What will be the next bank collapse in Spain?
As the Euro crisis limps along into 2013, Spain's economy will most likely deteriorate further, a big Spanish bank will fail and social revolt will continue on a larger scale. There can be no other outcome.

Romney Has LOST THE ELECTION (Blame the 47%)

Here is clip on who the 47% are and why they "don'y pay taxes" accoring to I-Ran Away Romney and his Mitt Myths - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=EyyG9g_F4Kg The picture above shows the geographic regions in the country where TAXES ARE NOT PAID! Guess what, they're MOSTLY in the SOUTH! So I-ran Away Romney is conveying his message to the "47%" in the South, paces like Texas, Florida, Mew Mexico, all places where Romney is most likely popular. The Atlantic Magazine does a good job explaining this --- http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/09/where-are-the-47-of-americans-who-pay-no-income-taxes/262499/ HDD believes that the 47% comment and his rambling attempt to "explain" his "non-elegant way" of saying what he said is another example of a FLIP FLOP of the highest order.
He is a clown, pure and simple, TOTALLY DIVORCED from OMOTS and his colossol ineptitude in this comment proves how distant he is from the OMOTS. NOTE -- HDD was a cater waiter in the late 1990s and catered many of these kinds of parties, where the host or key not speaker TOLD IT HOW IT WAS! This is the REAL MITT, not the MYTH!

Romney Wants to TAX THE 47%

Mitt's MYTHS



This guy is a clown of the highest order!

He's out of touch with those he pretends to represent - a charlatan of the highest order!

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/topoftheticket/lat-na-tt-cowboys-20120918,0,3473584.story

This quote (L.A. Times) tells us exactly who Romney wants to ream over the tax knife:


".... the 47% of Americans who pay no income tax are loafers, shiftless bums and welfare queens who will all vote for President Obama in November. In the real world, that 47% includes the working poor, the newly unemployed, handicapped people, the elderly, veterans, 4,000 millionaires and the nation's greatest icon, the American cowboy."

Here are some of the numbers broken down by demographic:

10.3% Elderly (who paid taxes all their LIVES Mitt!)

6.9% Earning less than $20,000 annually (about 12,500 TIMES less than what you Mitt have squirrelled away in the Cayman Islands)

28.3% Small to Medium Sized Businesses (Payroll Taxes)


45.5% Total (about 1.5% who pay no taxes)




THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MITT!!!

Who ever advised him on the 47% mythical statistic should be FIRED!

That's not how you win elections Mitt.

Romney and his 16 Billionaires




This "I-Ran Away" Romney is so full of it with his $250 million wealth hidden all across the Caribbean banking centers in blind trusts etc.

Vanity Fair did a good story on it, worth reading ---

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/08/investigating-mitt-romney-offshore-accounts

This clown, dressed in "working man" garb pretends he's one of us, OMOTS, when in fact he's an elitist tax dodger and is being backed up by those he intends to serve if he gets into the White House!

Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson writes that Romney is backed by 16 BILLIONAIRES (see below)

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/right-wing-billionaires-behind-mitt-romney-20120524

Mitt in his USUAL GARB, pretending to be an OMOTS ---



HDD is apolitical because the system is not run by OMOTS or groups of OMOTS. The system is a PLUTOCRACY run by a banking and corporate elite, using the government a s a conduit to collect taxes, issue debt and ensure that $15,000,000,000,000 IS PAID OFF BY TAXPAYERS!

He is a sham and if he can fool the American people into voting for him, then the OMOTS in the US is more easily hoodwinked than first thought.

About Time - ANGLO IRISH FRAUDSTER



Video below reflects the arrest of Sean Fitzpatrick, ex-CEO of the failed Anglo-Irish bank, a bank that the Irish taxpayers are STILL REPAYING the bonds of, even though those bonds were UNSECURED!

http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0724/former-anglo-chief-sean-fitzpatrick-arrested.html#video

Here's another arrest, via WSJ:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443437504577544991679973910.html



There will be more arrests most likely and HDD looks forward to the arrest of this fellow: David Drumm, living it up in the US!



And this video is ample evidence of the ABSOLUTE ARROGANCE emanating from this fraudster and clown:

HSBC and Narco Dollars





HSBC "Promises Clean Up Act"! What a joke? Not one of these BANKSTERS will serve a day in jail, but if a kid is caught selling weed, he's thrown into the slammer, no questions asked.

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-07-17/hsbc-probe-results-in-promises-regulator-bank-will-clean-up-act

Here's the KEY QUOTE:

"HSBC’s Mexican bank shipped $7 billion in bulk cash to the firm’s U.S. bank in 2007 and 2008, leaving U.S. and Mexican authorities concerned cartels were the source, the report said."

If an OMOTS brings just $10,000 in cash into the US, they get stopped, searched and INTERROGATED at JFK or whatever airport! What a scam?



Here's a clip worth watching:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRsoiXaqAcM

And the WSJ story from today:

http://live.wsj.com/video/hsbc-fails-to-stop-drug-money-laundering-in-mexico/F5B880BB-2131-45E2-827E-FEB62EFC5D41.html#!F5B880BB-2131-45E2-827E-FEB62EFC5D41

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303754904577532633575159476.html

These executives in the top banks have been covering up narco money laundering for decades and not one has served a day in jail.



Fines have been meted out and slaps on the wrist have been applied and that's about it!



All of this nonsense about COMPLIANCE and the USA PATRIOT ACT doesn't seem to impact the banking cartel when its executives break the law and sit in front of senate committees scratching their heads and wondering (fraudulently) what the hell happened?

Mitt Thinks He's One of Us (OMOTS)



Who does this clown think he is?

One of us is who he thinks he is! An OMOTS!



And if the US voting public BELIEVE this charlatan, then they will be voting for a man who represents JUST .0001% of the US population.

HDD has no problem with wealthy people, millionaires and billionaires. But when one of these multi-millionaires MASQUERADES as one of us, an OMOTS, HDD gets really pissed off for several reasons:

#1. Don't INSULT our intelligence Mr. Mitt!

#2. Pay your fair share of taxes, i.e. 33% or 35% NOT 15% as you seem to have been doing since becoming a multi-millionaire;

#3. Stop dressing like you're a "WORKING AMERICAN";

#4. Grow a set of balls and stop talking in SCRIPT;

#5. Show the American people your TAX RETURNS for the past 7 years at least!



Rolling Stone did a great story back a few weeks ago regarding the MONEY BAGS bankrolling the Mitt campaign.

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/right-wing-billionaires-behind-mitt-romney-20120524

The question is this: Do the 16 billionaires behind the Mitt have the same outlook on the US as the OMOTS?

The answer to that is a DEFINITIVE NO!



The latest Vanity Fair has a good story on how Mitt has been HIDING $$$$ in tax havens such as the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and places where the ULTRA WEALTHY "send" bags full of dough to AVOID/EVADE TAXES, while the rest of us get SCREWED with W-2 income TAXED AT SOURCE at 35% or 50%.

According to the story in VF, Mitt has investments and BLIND TRUSTS that actually BET AGAINST THE DOLLAR - a potential US President batting against the currency of his OWN COUNTRY, against the currency OMOTS earn, save and borrow in!

http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/08/investigating-mitt-romney-offshore-accounts

How can people who earn $250,000 think that Mitt is the same as them when he made $250 MILLION in his lifetime?

That's ONE THOUSAND TIMES more than the $250K a year working stiff.



Mitt pays a mere 15% on his investment income which he has HIDDEN in tax havens, while the $250K earner has to pay a FULL 35 points MORE on their W-2 income! Don't try to tell HDD that these OMOTS are in the same camp as Mitt and his buddies, throwing around money like it was out of fashion!

If Romney and his billionaire buddies have their way, the US Constitution will look like a document that was thrown into the paper shredder and taxes on the super-rich will hover at 5% while the OMOTS will be expected to pay through the nose every pay check or monthly salary.

BARCLAYS FRAUD = $453 Million (NO JAIL)



The image opposite reflects the ongoing fraud perpetrated by the "traders" at Barclays Bank in London with respect to the LIBOR manipulation.

Again the white collar goons NEVER GET JAIL time!

Again we see, as OMOTS how these vampires in the banking world get away with all kinds of sophisticated STEALING, but instead its considered "manipulation" as far as the Financial Times is concerned ---

http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/79bcf548-c907-11e1-a768-00144feabdc0.html#axzz20FYvKYV9

HDD is sick and tired of observing the shenanigans of these CRIMINALS in suits lie and cheat while OTMOTS lose jobs left and right, get laid off, thrown out of their homes and generally suffer financially and economically while bankers cash out and live in gated communities for as long as their pensions and bonuses allow them.

Student Debt "Collection"



Here is how the student debt bubble operates:

#1. College education has increased by 300% in 30 years;

#2. Potential students borrow a pile to somehow get that dreaded degree;

#3. The student takes out loans and more loans and more loans until he or she is drowning in debt, but is convinced that upon graduation;

#4. But economic reality suggests that there are few jobs, huge numbers of "graduates" and massive mill stones of debt around their necks.

#5. The Department of Education hires several "Collection Agencies" or "Guarantors" who are paid millions in bonuses by ensuring a debtor is immersed in austerity for the remainder of his adult life, paying off a mortgage due to the loans taken out to better himself.

Bloomberg did an excellent piece recently (see below)

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-15/taxpayers-fund-454-000-pay-for-collector-chasing-student-loans.html

Anyone in the student loan debt trap reading this will get very angry. These are the main "guaranty" agencies:

https://www.salliemae.com/

http://www.ecmc.org/topic/manageDefault.html

Of course the next big change in the pipeline is a DOUBLING of interest rates on loans, which the Republicans want to increase in July.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-31/republican-leaders-offer-options-for-student-loan-subsidy.html

This would be disastrous for OMOTS with loans taken out to "educate" himself.

And the student loan bubble will surely BURST!

Wednesday, May 16, 2012



The Canadian media is doing a far better job of explaining the Spanish-Greek-Irish crisis than the LSM in the US with its crappy "news' stories and appalling "world news" coverage.

The story below illustrates just how connected all of these countries are and what the future holds.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2012/05/16/spain-bond-yields.html

Just how big is the Spanish economy?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)

According to the site above, Spain is 12th in the world with GDP approaching
$1.5 Trillion at $1,493,513,000,000.

The main problem Spain has is MASSIVE youth unemployment and unemployment in general at 21.7% up from 8.3% just FIVE YEARS AGO.

Here's the Euro-Unemployment picture below: (Click for LARGER)



But youth unemployment is a WHOPPING 45%, that's close to half of Spain's under 30 year olds coming out of college without a job!

http://www.npr.org/2011/05/26/136683688/youth-protests-sweep-spain-as-unemployment-soars

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/30/spain-unemployed-under-30-emigration


The ECB-IMF plan to hijack these economies and force them and their governments to take "austerity measures" will likely BACKFIRE because the population will not go along and as the youth unemployment gets worse, street protest will get larger and larger forcing the governments in these countries to reassess the ECB-IMF plan.

Student Loan Bubble About to BURST!!



Last Sunday's New York Times (selling at a whopping $5.00 in 2012 when it was $2.00 in 1997) ran a story about student loan debt (see below) in which it reveals that total student debt is $1,000,000,000,000 (That's 12 ZEROS).

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/13/business/student-loans-weighing-down-a-generation-with-heavy-debt.html?ref=business

According to the Times public spending on college education is at a 25 year LOW, forcing young students to borrow and causing a generation of debt slaves to exist far into the future, holding a piece of paper that says "degree" on it, but with a job that is completely divorced from the content of that degree.

College education costs at the undergraduate level have ballooned with the North East of the US the most indebted (see map)



Like all bubbles pumped to the maximum the natural law is BURST. Click on the picture on the FRONT PAGE of the blog and view the trailer to a DOCUMENTARY on the student loan CRISIS.



Here are a few facts about the college education treadmill and the graduates coming out in 2012:

#1. Worthless pieces of paper for jobs that don't exist;

#2. Massive expectations and entitled attitude upon graduation;

#3. Under trained and unwilling to work hard due to a sense of superiority;

#4. Running back to live with Mom and Dad because of debt;

#5. Long term college debt slaves well into 2020.

Stop and Frisk FARCE



New numbers are out on the NYPD "Stop and Frisk" FARCE (S&F)!

http://online.wsj.com/article/AP98b6e8a2f396476487f069c62d06f4b5.html

http://www.nyclu.org/issues/racial-justice/stop-and-frisk-practices

http://www.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-news/2012/may/09/nypd-ordered-review-stop-and-frisk-activity/

200,000 people STOPPED and FRISKED in just three months, January to March. Can you imagine how the summer numbers are going to look?

In 2011 there were a total of 685,724 stop and frisks resulting in a "MASSIVE" 1.9% recovery of a weapon.



HDD wants to know how many of the arrests resulted in indictments and trial?

HDD believes that the real reason for S&F is to monitor the citizens, collect information and build a data base on ordinary hardworking New Yorkers, simple as that.



http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/index.htm

Under New York Penal Law (above), most "Stop and Frisk" activity by thugs in uniform, comes under the section of the penal law below:

S 240.26 Harassment in the second degree -

"1. He or she strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects such other
person to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same; or

2. He or she follows a person in or about a public place or places;"

This is precisely what cop thugs are doing on a regular basis to OMOTS New Yorkers.

"Austerity Deal" - EU New Speak



WDR EUROPA FORUM (German)

http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/player.cfm?ref=85252

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/debt-crisis-live/9253596/Debt-crisis-and-Greek-coalition-talks-as-it-happened-May-9-2012.html

Jose Manuel Barroso, seems to think that the word "deal" is applicable to the Greek austerity plan that is being forced onto the people in that country.

The word deal involves two parties to a contract who BOTH AGREE on an outcome.

Clearly the Greek situation is NOT A DEAL!

These Euro-Crats are in a world of their own, so disconnected from the OMOTS that their comments seem only to revolve around assisting reckless banks get back to "normal", using the taxpayers of the EU to foot the bill for mega-banks.

What's Barossa's bio?

Well Manny B, Portuguese, was a cocooned academic for most of his life, Prime Minister of Portugal for a puny two years and did a little "research" at Georgetown University in DC.

All in all, he's a career politician and spent time as President of the European Commission.

And he's the guru that is explaining to the OMOTS about "austerity" and how the people of Greece need to get their economic act together.



Here is the real reason why the Greeks et al need to be bailed out --- German banks lent to many of the distressed nations, Spain, Ireland et al.

And the IMF-EU-ECB act as a conduit, or messenger boy for the big German banks, many of whom lent billions to ensure a financial and housing bubble in Spain, Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Italy.

IMF, Ireland and France



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_presidential_election,_2012

PINK = Hollande (51.6%)

BLUE = Sarkozy (48.4%)

GREECE STALEMATE

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-08/german-bund-yields-drop-toward-record-before-greek-bill-auction.html

The recent election in France that kicked out Sarkozy and his cabal in spite of the IMF plan to bail out Greece, Ireland et al is a major shift in how the EU is going to have to face up to its citizens and their rejection of the IMF/ECB financial austerity.

When HDD looks at the word "austerity" it replaces it with SCREW THE TAXPAYER!



The next domino to put a wrench in the Euro-machinery will be Ireland when on May 31st the Irish will most likely REJECT the IMF "austerity" and wake up to the absolute injustice of the entire ECB/IMF/EU cabal.

OMOTS in Ireland and across the EU are facing two HUGE forces: IMF serfdom or a turning off of the fiscal faucet.

Either way, there will be pain.



The question is do the people of Ireland really understand the two sides of this economic coin?

Most people want a convenient lifestyle without stress. But in Ireland today, financial stress will mount regardless of which way the referendum goes.




The question is who REALLY OWNS IRELAND NOW? And what banks, corporations and foreign governments will own it in the future? This question must be answered in the next few months and the answering will begin after May 31st.

I-Ran Away Romney in NYC; O-W-S in NYC




So I-Ran away Romney was in NYC last evening and bought a few pizzas in a bid to show the OMOTS that he's just like the rest of us!

What a crock of crap.

He hangs out with ex-Mayor Giuliani outside a fire house and that's his way of saying, "I'm one of you guys"!

Another crock of crap.



Of course many people will see these antics as a man who is one of the people, a regular guy - to those HDD says - you are delusional.

O-W-S = Not Effective

Meanwhile O-W-S caused major disruption in downtown - MEMO to O-W-S - Snagging commuter traffic in NYC and impeding working people IS NOT GOING TO GET SUPPORT!



O-W-S has frankly lost its way and the tactics it uses now are not unifying the OMOTS. Unless they unify the OMOTS it will fizzle out and fade away.

Perhaps another movement, more co-ordinated and focussed will grow from it.



Not only did they NOT TAKE THE STREETS, they blocked OMOTS and caused their support amongst New Yorkers to wane significantly.

I-Ran away Romney and O-W-S have something in common - they both want to connect with OMOTS and they both fail miserably!

EPIC and EFF --- Antidotes to Internet Privacy Takeover



With all of the Internet snooping going on across the US: DHS, NSA, Cyber breaches and a host of other corporate and government entities keeping tabs on what we buy, what we think, what we write and who we contact, there are organizations fighting the good fight on all of this.

Electronic Privacy Information Center (Epic.org) and Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF.org), both involved in opposing government and corporate intrusion into the Internet and censoring what we can or cannot view.



Within the borders of the US there is a massive information apparatus sponsored by and maintained by our taxes through the NSA, DHS and all of those other so-called government funded entities that are supposed to "protect" us from outside attacks.

The TSA for example has made flying within the US an ongoing pain in the ass and routinely collects data on OMOTS Americans.

The goal: to assemble information on EVERY US CITIZEN in the country under the disguised protocol of "protecting the homeland".

PIPA and SOPA are examples of how far the axis of corporate-governmental power was willing to go to IMPEDE our access to the Internet, but due to stellar and stalwart efforts on behalf of OMOTS Americans these heinous pieces of legislation were HALTED!



Keep alert and always vigilant!

Keeping an EYE on EYEBALLS



As HDD types this post, there is a massive data mining NSA operation constructed in Bluffdale, UT, at a cost to US taxpayers of billions.


Instead of BUILDING THE CRUMBLING PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, the US government via the intelligence apparatus is building a spying center in Utah.


This center has the capacity to track cell phone texts, GOOGLE searches, emails and cell phone conversations of ALL US CITIZENS and build a network graph, linking people and places and conversations.





According to an interesting discussion this morning on Democracy Now, William Binney, ex-NSA official who worked on Trail Blazer, a project that cost taxpayers $4 BILLION and was eventually SCRAPPED, in 2006 believes that the NSA routinely flouts privacy laws and is in direct opposition to several articles in the US Constitution in its data mining of US citizen electronic communications.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailblazer_Project

Binney and his fellow whistle blowers have shed light on what exactly is going on at the heart of the intelligence apparatus in the name of "protecting the homeland".



Since 2001 and the attacks in NYC, military contractors have rifled the pockets of taxpayers via the DOD in a bid to "protect the homeland".

Companies such as SAIC received billions in government contracts to build Trailblazer which ended up a wasteful failure. Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act allows investigators broad access to OMOTS private searches on the Internet, purchases on AMAZON, even in some cases and states access to books READ AT THE LIBRARY!!!!

Here's the part that gives HDD cause for concern:

"`(a)(1) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or a designee of the Director (whose rank shall be no lower than Assistant Special Agent in Charge) may make an application for an order requiring the production of any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution."



The key part is "activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution".

The New Yorker story right (which HDD read when it was published last year) gives an overview of "Thin thread" and another NSA whistle blower, Thomas Drake.

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/05/23/110523fa_fact_mayer

It seems that anyone who speaks out against GOVERNMENT WASTE AND ABUSE gets screwed, career wise, reputation wise and must approach brave journalists to get the truth out.

Here's the link to the IG (Inspector Generals) report on Trail Blazer and Thin Thread ---

www.fas.org/irp/agency/dod/ig-thinthread.pdf

Good luck deciphering this one and good luck in figuring out what was done to remedy the situation!

Anti-oxidants VERSUS Free Radicals



The health care industry wants us all to LIVE IN SICKNESS for as long as possible because by keeping us ALIVE WHEN SICK, money is made on every level:

#1 Health insurance claims;

#2 Doctors visits;

#3 Surgery;

#4 Hospitalization;

#5 Prescription Drugs;

#6 Elder Care and Nursing Homes;

#7 Food Experts and Nutritionists.



It's all about balance.

Equilibrium in a world of stress.

But in the developed world, no matter what you may eat, STRESS WILL KILL the benefit, because rushing around like a maniac, but eating all the right foods won't make a difference because its about BALANCE in MIND and BODY!

Any foods with RAINBOW COLORS = DEEP COLORS (not fake preserved colors like off pink meat or cream colored chicken) are good for you, simple as that, END OF STORY!



The 7 natural colors of the rainbow = ROYGBIV



Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Eat foods that are NATURAL COLORS in a STRESS FREE SCENARIO!

Rushing meals is a FOOLS GAME and will result in SERIOUS ILLNESS over time.



Common sense in a world of fake food gone mad.

Convenience foods equate to rushed meals, crap diet and SERIOUS LONG TERM ILLNESS.

Good Luck!
