Open your eyes, folks.
I find it funny that the other day I was mentioning to Dave that “I bet something really freaky will happen now because people are all worked up about Obama’s poorly photoshopped ‘birth certificate’.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Now we have a dead terrorist leader, conveniently given a watery grave yesterday.
Whatever.
Are the American people that retarded? Apparently many are, because people are doing the rah rah party in the streets, ding dong the witch is dead. I won’t deny anyone their moment to gloat or tie one on, but really…..I can’t possibly be the only person on the planet that’s noticed that whenever the US president is being shady something either gets blown up or something really dramatic and over the top happens to take the heat of the government. Come on folks, really.
I also find it funny in a not so haha way that when the late Benazir Bhutto “accidentally said the wrong name” and mentioned Bin Laden being murdered, in 2007, by someone that she suspected would also attempt to kill her, that she was assassinated about two weeks later.
Come on folks.
Have a drink, throw darts at his picture, and come back to reality. Japan is still suffering, and according to a recent Chernobyl anniversary issue of my newspaper, the danger isn’t over in The Ukraine, either. The US government is pulling a Great Britain a la the late 60s and cheerfully devaluing its dollar by printing huge amounts of paper money. Americans are living in their own Winter of Discontent, but it’s been happening slowly so no one really pays attention. How many people who read this even know what the Winter of Discontent is?
At the same time, the Chinese have been openly talking to Russia about becoming financial allies and dropping the US dollar all together. In the meantime, China has been dumping its US dollars by buying whatever chattel and real estate it can, at whatever cost, just to unload the money. This is a pretty telling sign of things to come, folks. What China is doing won’t devalue the dollar, but it does fortell something serious. The big players don’t want anything to do with the US dollar any more. It will not be the world standard in a couple of years. It may be rubles or yen, or something else, but it won’t be the good ol’ almighty US Greenback.
This is why it costs almost $2 to buy a loaf of bread in the grocery store in Canada, folks. This is why tomatoes have gone up, peppers have skyrocketed, and fruit is getting pricier. These are the things that we have to import into our country from the US because it’s too damned cold to grow them up here most of the year. Look around you Canada, our biggest trade partner and next door neighbor is falling, and if you think they’re not going to take us down with them, think again.
Starting in the 80s, the full out Americanization of Canada began in earnest. How many of us have lost our pensions and retirement investments right along with the Americans over the last few years? That’s right, because everything is backed by their dollar and if you follow the paper trail, you’ll learn that our banks haven’t really been our banks for a long time – they’re owned by US banks and financial institutions. When they fall, we go with them. The fact that our dollar is up there gives us a nice feel good moment as we go shopping south of the border. However, when our dollar goes up, the US does not buy raw goods from us to support their industry, because they can’t afford to and they’re our biggest customer. So while it may be groovy to say you got a $300 purse in the US for $25 at a town-sized outlet store, just bear in mind that you’ll need to use that purse to stuff your belongings in when our economy collapses and you find yourself homeless.
But yes, in the meantime, load up on shooters and beer and get drunk because Bin Laden is “dead”.
