America is way ahead of China. China is still a third world country, yet just about every single day, you espouse the same argument "Americano is toasted as a snapper turtle oozing...". Is that the best cogent argument you can make? America is number one in the number and quality of universities (that is why students from China and India come to the U.S. to study), America has the largest economy in the world (oh, I forgot though, according to your logic, America is full of stupid pigs). I can go on and on but you know it and I know it that America is a great nation. Just knowing that is eating you up. Oh, BTW, if you Chinese people are so damn smart, then why do you keep buying worthless American I.O.U.'s (treasury bonds)? Who is stupid now?

Back in 2002, C2C featured the following guests warning about the housing bubble and the crashing dollar:<BR/><BR/>Dan Mcalvany of Mcalvany and Assoc.(Enter MCALVANY on YouTube search and several of his seminars will appear).<BR/><BR/>Bob Chapman of THEINTERNATIONALFORECASTER.COM<BR/><BR/>Cathering Austin Fitts of SOLARI.COM (Also on YouTube,listen to her lecture on the 'popsicle index'.) Fascinating lady.A former HUD asst. secretary under Bush 1 and former partner in a quiet yet very powerful Boston investment firm: Dillon and Reed. She will show you how the SYSTEM REALLY WORKS!<BR/><BR/>Michael Rupert of COPVCIA.COM. A very brave soul who as a former LAPD narcotics detective discovered and revealed to those who would listen about OPERATION PEGASUS: a CIA program that was funneling drugs into southcentral Los Angeles. Also author of CROSSING THE RUBICON,a real eyeopener into who was behind 911, invasion of Irag, 'peak oil',and how all of this relates to the crashing dollar and the housing bubble.<BR/><BR/>Al Martin of ALMARTINRAW.COM. Google/search his article PROTOCOLS OF US ECONOMIC COLLAPSE 2008 BY AL MARTIN. A whistleblower has revealed our governments 'protocols' in the eventual 'event' of economic judgement day: dollar and bond and stock market freefall/meltdown.<BR/><BR/>THESE GUESTS SAVED MY FINANCIAL REAR END!!!<BR/><BR/>A big round of applause for Keith in creating the HP website, and Keith if you havent been already, many of us look forward to hearing you one night on Coast to Coast. I have e-mailed C2C recommending you as a future guest. Hope you hear from George Noory or Art Bell soon.<BR/><BR/>GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-81745845597059061852008-02-20T17:11:00.000+00:002008-02-20T17:11:00.000+00:00.Those were the girls in high school and college t....<BR/><BR/><BR/>Those were the girls in high school and college that where Fun, but in the long run very aggravating. <BR/><BR/>Cute but what a Twit!<BR/><BR/>Although they knew the way to the backseat of the car.<BR/><BR/>.<BR/><BR/>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-42032344410320104422008-02-20T16:42:00.000+00:002008-02-20T16:42:00.000+00:00Now that everyone is college degreed, people are d...<B>Now that everyone is college degreed, people are dumber, more corrupt, more myoptic, and less productive then ever before.<BR/><BR/>I have begun to use colleged-degreed as a pejorative term to express someone preoccupied with style over substance:<BR/>- wearing the right suits, driving the right oversized SUV, and saying nothing of substance during meetings (so as to shirk accountability)<BR/>- extremely unproductive, no pragmatic understanding of creating REAL humantistic applied value, AND creating it efficiently.<BR/>- most important role at work is to walk hurriedly from cube to cube, using important sounding buzzwords in front of the boss, saying the same thing over day after day, ultimately (after much ado) just making life and processes more complicated and bureaucratic before the next college-degreed fool changes the rules to something else.<BR/>- someone who stopped reading non-fiction at age 22, hasn't visited the public library in 10 years, someone who will only learn if they can get additional certifications to put on their resume.<BR/>- someone who idea of culture and erudition is repeating second rate T&A jokes around the water cooler.<BR/>- someone who doesn't stand for anything other than consumerism; someone who can't think independently.<BR/> </B><BR/><BR/>The truth hurtsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-17749356969793845242008-02-20T15:23:00.000+00:002008-02-20T15:23:00.000+00:00Does this remind anyone of the end of the Roman Em...Does this remind anyone of the end of the Roman Empire?<BR/><BR/>Greed, gluttony as everyone tries to get rich quick?

We just somehow had the objectivity. <BR/><BR/>Maybe for many of us it was only that we were priced out of a decent home and went looking for something that would make us feel better. It was that search that lead us to the housing bubble and made our minds very open to the idea, because it was to our benefit if our situation could be explained by the irrationality of others.<BR/><BR/>It feels good to make fun of another's lesser intelligence.
