That time of year again, when the nature of my work requires that I spend the majority
of my waking hours working, such is the life of the self-employed.
A few things to watch out for this summer, first the devaluation of the US dollar, which
can be measured through referencing the rise in the price of oil (currently $72) and the
fall of the US Dollar Index. (currently 80) The second big development is further escalation
towards a US war with Pakistan. There already is a civil war going on there, with the
Pakistani government fighting the Pashto majority of the country's North. The US has
already chosen sides and provided missile strikes to their allies within the Pakistani
government. Soon, someone, (probably a well-connected, mid-level officer within Pakistan's ISI)
is going to get revenge by striking a US target, and when he does, the Americans will be easily
convinced that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal must be secured against seizure by "Al Qaeda".
Wars are good for reversing economic downturns.
Other things to watch out for are the soon to be declared Swine Flu Pandemic, the Zionist project
to bomb Iran so as to ensure that no other middle eastern state has a deterrant against Israel's
nuclear arsenal, and the North Korean succession plan where it looks as if Jong-Un (Kim #3) is going to
soon get credit for some great achievment in missile technology so as to curry favour with elites within
the North Korean military. All of this is on the table until the dictators all take a mid-August vacation,
and return to allow little parts of hell to break loose in early September. By then, I will be back at it
on the blog. In September this page will return with a weekly podcast. Please let me know if you would
like to contribute to it in any way. Thanks, and I hope that you all have a great summer.
Join the "I wasn't invited to Bilderberg 2009" Facebook Group
It has been reported that this year's meeting of the Bilderberg Group will be held at the
Nafsika Astir Palace Hotel in Vouliagmeni, Greece from May 14-17.
I don't know what the Bilderberg Group really does, but the way that they conduct their business
sure makes it seem like they are a shadowy cabal of elites plotting world domination. Will the press
cover this meeting with anything more than a passing remark? They really ought to. If you are the
sort of person who is alright with going down the rabbit hole, I recommend a few google searches.
Here is an opportunity for users of Facebook to spread awareness of the Bilderberg Group. Join
the group and invite your friends to do so. Many people do not know of the Bilderberger's existence.
Facebook provides a chance to help wake up some of the people who normally wouldn't touch this subject.
OK, so the main way that corporate media channels communicate with you is through the use of banners.
You need not pay as much attention to what the talking heads say, their words are secondary as they babble on
to reinforce the central point splashed across the banner. If you ever wanted to know what a channel like FOX
(or CNN or MSNBC - they're all corrupt) wants you to think about a certain issue, well, its hidden in plain sight,
written right there.
The following clip is from Fox "News", they have a "legal analyst" on to discuss how authorities may strip you of
your rights (for you own protection of course) in the event of a pandemic. Before the clip, I'll post what the
banners say, for they convey the central message of the piece. You can view the banners (especially the final one:
their conclusion) as declarations by the fascist hacks who run Fox "News". Read each statement carefully and consider
what it communicates. Is this ratings-driven media sensationalism, or a trial balloon? Is Fox "News" just trying to
scare you, or is there something else going on here?
Pandemic Shopping List and Immune-System Boosting Recipe
Real chaos potential waiting in the wings now, though if you keep cool you ought to be alright.
So far, I'm not convinced that this Swine Flu is the big one, at this point it seems more like a great opportunity
for disaster capitalists like Donald Rumsfeld of Tamiflu to cash in on the panic. Things are tense, and I expect that
people are going to be freaking out. Ignore and avoid them. Let's not over-react kids, don't be one of those panicked
idiots, now is the time for calm smarts. So far, my personal TSHTF meter is only at about 3 out of 10, but I'm watching
for a handful of specific events in order to signal that we have a real problem here.
Watch For Any of the Following!
Widespread Mandatory Quarantine (at the city or county level or greater)
Grounding of International Flights
Closure of International Borders
WHO announcement of Pandemic Threat Level 5 or greater
Cancellation of major sporting events, concerts etc in the Continental USA
If any of the above occur, its time to immediately go shopping if you haven't already. If trade is shut down, the
shelves at the store will empty quickly, and you may need to go a few weeks without shopping. Here is
your essentials shopping list, in no particular order. Remember to keep calm.
Shopping List
Grocery Store
Many Large Chocolate Bars
Cartons of Cigarettes (for bartering)
Peanut Butter
Cans of Fruit/Veggies

It also wouldn't hurt to have some booze on hand, cans of beer and mickeys of hard stuff, for bartering or self medication :)
You should also have a bunch of cash on hand, in small bills. If you have kids, its time to teach them how to wash their
hands properly and sneeze into their elbows if the needs arises. You're also going to want to get some extra batteries and
a crank-powered radio and flashlight.
Looking forward, a word on adaptation if the worst-case scenario comes. If people start dying in your town, you're going to
want to start taking cold fx and astralagus. A little off the charts here, but if you know someone who is deathly ill, the
mad monk recommends taking Boneset, but good luck finding it.
In the meantime, a recipe for you...many ounces of prevention to super-charge your immune system.
Chana Masala - feeds 4-6
2 cans chick peas - 19oz
1 can diced tomatoes - 28 oz
1 piece of ginger, about the size of your thumb - chopped
1 medium onion - minced
7 cloves garlic - chopped
1/2 cup cilantro - chopped
3 tbsp cooking oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
cayenne pepper - to taste...the more the better if you like spicy foods
If you don't have all of the spices you can still make this dish...just do the best you can.
If you don't like chick peas you can use lentils. The sauce also goes well with potatoes
(boil and chop them first) or cauliflower.
Heat oil in a pot at medium heat. Add cumin and fenugreek seeds, when they're crackling add the onion and ginger.
Stir-fry until the onions are translucent. Add garlic and stir-fry for one minute. Drain excess fluid from the
can of tomatoes. Add tomatoes, turmeric, cayenne, cloves, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, salt, and lemon juice. Stir and cover.
Stir occasionally, until the tomatoes have mostly liquifed, about ten minutes. Drain and rinse chick peas, add them and stir.
Put on low heat. Stir occasionally until chick peas have softened. Add cilantro. Stir and serve with rice or bread.
Eat this to power up your immune system. Wash your hands. Prevent illness and you won't have to treat it.
The next 48 hours or so are worth paying attention to. Let's keep an eye on this, but not panic.
This is a Bill Moyers interview of William K. Black, a former regulator of Wall Street.
With insider knowledge, he details how corrupt and fraudulent the banks are, and why many
of their executives belong in prison.
...look at the Weimar government. Suffering from the trauma of defeat in the First World War and the burden
of reparations, it was too weak to raise taxes. It ran large budget deficits instead. Interest rates were kept
far below the rate of inflation, while money supply expanded rapidly. About half of government expenditure was
funded by newly printed money.
America is devolving into a third-world nation. And if we do not immediately halt our elite’s rapacious
looting of the public treasury we will be left with trillions in debts, which can never be repaid, and
widespread human misery which we will be helpless to ameliorate. Our anemic democracy will be replaced with
a robust national police state. The elite will withdraw into heavily guarded gated communities where they will
have access to security, goods and services that cannot be afforded by the rest of us. Tens of millions of people,
brutally controlled, will live in perpetual poverty. This is the inevitable result of unchecked corporate
capitalism. The stimulus and bailout plans are not about saving us. They are about saving them. We can resist,
which means street protests, disruptions of the system and demonstrations, or become serfs.
China yesterday unveiled a comprehensive blueprint for health care reform, kicking off a long-anticipated
plan to fix the ailing medical system and ensure safe and affordable health services for the country's
1.3 billion citizens..."This is the first time that basic medical services in China are clearly defined as
a public service for all citizens, which is part of the essential rights of the people," said Professor Li Ling
of Peking University.
