		<description>Pat, 
You say that the President is hell bent on destroying the country, although you don&#039;t say how, and strongly suggest that it is by establishing socialism or Marxism. Yet, in the paragraph before you rip on the bankers for greed. You mention a regulatory system that is &quot;completely out of touch with reality.&quot; Well, that&#039;s because the regulations have been weakened or cut away, by those very same greedy people. That type of action is NOT socialism or Marxism, unless you have some sort of vision of socialism other than WORKER control of where they work. What you have laid out about greed and having &quot;every toy imaginable&quot; is a characteristic of free market, or neoliberal, capitalism. What I find funny is that you are against THAT type of capitalism in one paragraph, but in the next breath, i.e., the next paragraph, you say the POTUS is destroying the country because he is trying to do away with the type of billionaire playground that our government has become. It seem you have the themes confused in your post. You are right about the real estate, but it happened because no one was allowed to watch, and those in government who did watch were really just ex-private industry people regulating themselves. That is not how government ought to run. But when we hate government and rail against it w/o nuance, we contribute to the further mistrust and the further deregulation (b/c that&#039;s what we wanted, right?) and thus to the use of our government for private, individual gains that go progressively to the few. Yet, to turn around and call that socialism or Marxism is not only to misunderstand both of those phenomena, it fosters the anger and mistrust of all government (i.e., language you hear all the time, such as &quot;never re-elect!&quot;). Those attitudes actually hurt our ability to put controls on those who are supposed to protect us.

I have no idea what you are talking about with NASA. What is amazing is how narrow and isolated you want us to become should we follow your remarks. Let&#039;s move beyond the xenophobia.</description>

		<description>I used to think that we were the greatest nation in the world. I don&#039;t believe that any more but we have the biggest guns and as usual the nation with the biggest guns come out on top.  The bankers finance the guns and the gunners keep the banksters in power, so to speak.  All you have to do is study a little history to see where things are headed, however, fewer and fewer Americans can even read.  Sad situation.</description>

		<description>The negative scenario for American investors in stocks and particularly things like gold, platinum, and to a much lesser extent, physical silver, would be one where the United States, in an effort to postpone or suspend its relative economic decline, engineers a downturn that inflicts considerable suffering on its citizens, but utterly demolishes emerging economies such as China, which represents the biggest displacement threat to the United States. The political discourse seems to suggest that the best way for America to save itself is to submerge itself and drown dependent economies before they are advanced enough to swim on their own. 

In my opinion, it is too late for this, though.  The enormous and unprecedented redistribution of wealth and power to the East has already occurred.  In fact, I&#039;ve been waiting for this to happen since I was 15.  It was sure as physics.  9/11 was sure as physics.  I predicted 9/11 and how it would even happen in 98&#039;.  I had shared this scenario with a few friends in addition to one other that I am shocked is to this day totally overlooked by the Feds.  When 9/11 happened these &quot;friends&quot; were asking me how I knew....I was uncomfortable.  Will we go to war with China?  No.  Will we go to war with Russia or Iran? No.  They know this is not necessary when it is more likely that we will kill ourselves off in the multitude of ways at our disposal.  It&#039;s freedom, right? 

In 2004 I began investing.  I was good. There was  one vision at the core of my strategy.  A global economy that required basic needs.  Just use Maslows Hierarchy but first understand that you&#039;re idea of &quot;developing&quot; is from a context unique to capitalism.  I have visited remote tribes that feed themselves just fine and have love and even self actualization so what is advanced I might first ask?  So what if banks fail.  These cultures don&#039;t have banks.  They have a simple economic philosophy called, &quot;Sharing.&quot;  It works well as long as televisions are not a part of this way of life.  TV rots cultures that for centuries have been self sufficient and happy in a blink of an eye.  

Back to lower minded matters... I&#039;ve since seen an 827% increase in my investments in 204 that people thought I was retarded for buying. My strategy was and still is to avoid strategies, and if I did have one to always look for a way out.  If I could find one it wasn&#039;t sound to begin with.  

The greatest opportunities are unknown or disguised.  We do not know we do not even know - really anything.  If a strategy is to be developed it means we are already operating within something that exists and things exist only to be coveted or picked to shreds.  Look ahead....and then step into the dark places for the juicy stuff.  

Everything and everyone has a probable, almost certain future and it looks just like yesterday - just a more, better, or different version of the same thing at play.  There is what I call social physics that, while not always reliable due to the fact that everything we think, read, or hear is filtered through our mood and belief systems, whether we would like to think of ourselves as free thinkers or not, are very real troublemakers in us all.  This filter result in oversights and foolish mistakes.  Human mistakes.    

It would be a mistake for me to say we can &quot;drown&quot; dependent economies before they can swim on their own.  I&#039;m talking like a very proud American.  Stay away from pride when making choices. 

Bringing down dependent economies would have been possible 40 years ago if we had read the &quot;Art of War&quot; perhaps.  But not likely.  Instead, we spent billions on war and conflicts, many in complete secrecy to all but a few engaged on the ground and in Washington, over strategic goods and positions. We went into these operations with a sort of consideration of the relations as well but with no real connection to the people there.  Not enough to make any substantial difference in our affairs or their experience of us.  

Empathy - relatedness, to the experienced politician, is an intellect bound platitude.  When you spend your entire life trying to embody what you have judged, assessed, and evaluated your voter as, it makes it very difficult to slam on the breaks when you realize you&#039;re lost, and then to explain to those passengers, the people that choose to get on board with you and go in your direction, that you started making things up about 650 miles back when you took that turn you weren&#039;t sure about, even though at least a few people along for the ride probably did - had you asked.   

My prediction?  Don&#039;t need one. What I&#039;m doing? I&#039;m investing in my physical and mental health more than ever.  I am big on silver and invest a lot in physical.  I also invest in my own businesses.  I trimmed the fat from nearly 30 to 6 stocks last summer.  They are fine.  I left my bank and joined a Credit Bureau.  I opened a Canadian Bank Acct.  I would highly recommend everyone look into the latter.  

Silver is the greatest investment of this generation and it has nothing to do with jewelry or as a hedge.  I don&#039;t hoard it.  It will explode as soon as the ETF scams go bust.  It&#039;s greatest application will be in nano tech, medical and home anti-septic/disinfectant uses and solar.  Gold is for crows.  Finally, I am investing in peace of mind......NOT some dulled out insensitivity.  reinventing old bonds and reconnecting with family, friends, and forging new alliances with people committed to action and integrity.

		<description>Being from California, an ex real estate agent by choice I left 20 years ago and an ex loan officer.  Who worked for Lincoln savings in the REO dept, when that fiasco happened I warned everyone I could think of that the bubble would burst, over 10 years ago.  They laughed.  Well my home is paid for, never refinanced even when I was eating hot dogs and beans.

We have seen orchestrated the largest taking of wealth in the history of the world.  Fueled by greed of the average American who believes it is his right to have every toy imaginable.  Backed by bankers who agreed that greed was a good thing and a regulatory system completely out of touch with reality.

Now we have a president hell bent on destroying the country and everyone drank the Kool Aid.  What is next?  Socialism or Marxism.  NASA now saying that their number one priority is to make the Muslim world feel good about themselves?  This directed by the leader of the &quot;free&quot; world?  Amazing folks isn&#039;t it.</description>
