RT Interviews GATA Member Adrian Douglas

Remember when I posted two stories about the upcoming interview that Russia Today would conduct with GATA member Adrian Douglas.

Well, lo and behold, they did conduct the interview, which follows below. I often think when I see these spectacular moments where truth prevails, what is the motive of news reporters who work for the corporate media? What's up their sleeve? Anything? Nothing? Still, thankfully, we have this two part interview.

States Rights & Some Other Shit

It's been a good while since I've been posting here on MercuryToona on a regular basis. With college in full swing I really don't have the time to commit to any thoughts on a myriad of socio-political issues that frequent me when I should be studying and not failing my math class, so I'm going to continue to post videos occasionally just to maintain somewhat of a presence on the blog.

Oh, and here's another video of that redneck I like.

Stanlie Hunt Interviews GATA Member James Turk

Just a quick post. Over at Kitco, there's a radio interview of Stanlie Hunt Interviewing GATA Member James Turk.

economic meltdown equals power grab for big bank(er)s

I just finished reading an interesting piece over at Alternet by Matt Taibbi. In the article he breaks down the massive bailouts that we have recently been seeing on Wall Street and gives his take on what it all means for us. It's a long damn read, but in my opinion well worth the time. To summarise, we have been ripped off, cheated and scammed. This bailout business wasn't needed to save any banks or insurance providers, it was needed to consolidate power within an already merger happy financial industry. Many small banks are going to be squeezed out of existence and everyone will just have to suffer through with whatever mega bank happens to be left standing. Taibbi also writes about the unbelievable state of regulation that was supposed to be watching AIG and others, it basically didn't exist and was so badly underpowered it never mattered. It's so hard to tell which direction we are headed as a country during all of this, nationalised banks not ran by the government but ran by an asshole oligarchy of snotty wall street scum. Whatever, I just hope they treat us well, since we apparently have no control over the outcome anyway.

Here's the first paragraph of the article.

It's over - we're officially, royally fucked. No empire can survive being rendered a permanent laughingstock, which is what happened as of a few weeks ago, when the buffoons who have been running things in this country finally went one step too far. It happened when Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was forced to admit that he was once again going to have to stuff billions of taxpayer dollars into a dying insurance giant called AIG, itself a profound symbol of our national decline - a corporation that got rich insuring the concrete and steel of American industry in the country's heyday, only to destroy itself chasing phantom fortunes at the Wall Street card tables, like a dissolute nobleman gambling away the family estate in the waning days of the British Empire.

That should give you a feel for the article, it's good and a bit pointed and mean spirited as well it should be.

Having Trouble Searching Through Ebay and Craigslist?

Found this website through a frequent poster on Ultimate Guitar 311ZOSOVHJH
It can be extremely helpful if you want to search Ebay or Craigslist but you don't want to sift through all of the junk, or being over specific when it comes to searches.

This site is quite helpful for searching music gear, and PA equipment at used prices but in stock at specific stores.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann Grills Geithner and Bernanke

I should've posted this yesterday. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann from Minnesota pressures Treasury Secretary Timonthy Geithner and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke with some great questions.

As your watching, notice how after Congresswoman Bachmann asks the question about a world currency Bernanke shifts his eyes away from her. In the game of poker, this is called a tell. He's lying hiss ass off.

Also, the rest of the clip is good since she does have other great questions.

Where was Ron Paul in all of this?

Wattgrinder - Tone Grinder

Many guitarists find themselves debating which tubes to use for optimal performance of their amplifiers, NOS, Russian, Chinese, and brands which make specific tubes.

WattGrinder has created a solid state, non glass, non deteriorating tube for consistant performance throughout the life of your amp... not your tubes.

All the King's Aiders and Abetters

Over at RaptureAlert, there's a blog that's been posted which I commented on. You can read the blog post, its called All the King's Men. The author, Mike Mickey, states that he's no conspiracy theorist, but that "I don't think you have to be to have an eyebrow raised". He addresses such topics as the Bilderbergers and global currency in his response to the politico article which I myself will likely address.

I wanted to address his blog post because these subjects are of great interest to me. Christians like Mike Mickey tend to be Zionists: cheerleaders for Israel who believe her establishment in the world scene is part of biblical prophecy and is essential for the return of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. These are people that are usually found tacitly approving Israel's mass slaughter of the Palestinian people. To me, a student of conspiracies, World Zionism is just another tentacle of the World Order octopus that must be addressed and exposed for the entire world to see.

This brings me to a message left in the comment section of the blog article. Posted anonymously, the writer states:

Bible prophecy tells us that a world government, religion, and currency are in this earth's future. These types of people and organizations are necessary for these things to come about. I say, just more signs of the times.

This kind of fevered hatred for the freedoms of all people everywhere is abundantly found in the Christian Zionist community. The Christian Zionists blatantly produce more pro-Israel propaganda than even the Zionist Jewish community. In their belief system, the Christian Zionists believe that in order for Jesus Christ to return, all of these prophecies have to be fulfilled: global government, ecumenicalism, one global currency, and an international dictator.

Now the First Amendment to the Constitution talks about "freedom of religion" but these people take it to a whole new level. American Christian Zionists revere the Bible above the Constitution, and not in a good way, because for them to act on their belief, the Constitution has to be violated.

Where does the Constitution grant the power to take money from the taxpayer so that the United States Government can send it to Israel in the form of foreign aid? No where! Dumbass!!!

I believe it is treasonous for Americans to participate in the movements of World Zionism and Globalism, just as Senator Joseph McCarthy felt that it was treasonous under Constitutional law to be a practicing communist. And here you have Christian Zionists endorsing traitorous criminality as necessary instruments that will help make conditions right for the return of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as so eloquently expressed in the comment statement made in Mike G. Mickey's posted article, All the King's Men.

It must be their "final solution" to the "Arabic question".

Barack Obama Laughs About Economy

I don't think the state of the economy is a laughing matter, President Obama. But I guess you don't take the problems of the economy too seriously if you're going to spend taxpayers money on a luxurious swingset for your children.

A Playground You Can Believe In

Steve Kroft caught Barack Obama "laughing and chuckling several times while discussing the perilous state of the economy", at one point asking "Are you punch-drunk?" Politico says "his awkward laughter highlighted an issue Obama has faced dating back to the campaign, a sense that he sometimes is too 'cool' and detached to fully grasp the public anxiety over mounting job losses and economic worries."

We learn in the 60 minutes interview that Mr. President has time off in the afternoon to see his kids, have dinner with the family, and takes weekends off after poking his head in to see what's going on. So basically, the POTUS puts in less hours per week than I do. Kroft also fawns over the first family's playground. What Kroft won't tell you is that while millions of Americans wonder how their next mortgage payment is going to be made, and while their father demonizes Americans for having a culture of greed, the Obama children are literally playing in a castle.

The Obama's went with a Rainbow Play System which Obama himself called "the Rolls Royce of swingsets", specifically the model is Supersized Monster Castle Package IV with a Double Bubble on the Penthouse, which retails for $14,799 plus $1500 install, not including the surface it sits on. Taxpayer money well spent in a down economy. What, don't your children have a penthouse on their swingset?
