Like many of my fellow Internet Viewers, I watched Jon Stewart say all the right things about all the wrong things said ... Update: the original video was removed by Viacom for reasons unknown. Perhaps they didn't want to offend CNBC. Thats okay, someone was pulling their puppet strings and they are just plain weak. In its place, I've replaced it with the following two vids. Thanks go out to Darrell Wright and The Young Turks of which you can visit their web site after you're done reading this. and it inspired me to write this for my upcoming book: The financial media have all expressed rage towards comedians and comedic shows for making fun of their day-to-day banter. In defense of comedians, are they doing anything wrong? They are taking what we are expected to believe from these shows in the media, digesting and then finding fault in their proclamations…time and time again, and making fun of them. What’s wrong with that? Often the comedians come to a sobering truth that seems to sum up the whole of the matter in mere minutes. This is what the financial media rails against. Dare I say, they rail against the truth? Why? Because it is the opposite that they most often try to tell you or have you believe. How many times have they said “it looks like we are near the bottom” “we may be forming a bottom” “the bottom is not far off” so that you’ll jump into the market with more hard earned money, only to see the indexes plunge further? The late George Carlin made a career of saying the obvious in his comedic yet serious way. George Carlin was probably rubber-stamped as a conspiracy theorist for his more serious rantings on the government, on war, on education, and the like. Like Carlin and Jon Stewart, Don Harrold is a financial blogger who loves to make public, all the wrong recommendations that Jim Cramer makes on CNBC. To Don's credit, he is 1st to publicize the wrongs we are fed by the financial media. Though the national popularity of the Jon Stewart's show trumps Harrold's own...listen to Don Harrold's listing of Jim Cramer's Mad Money mis-recommendations. Myself and others have been calling you all 'sheep'. To make you sleep better, you call us conspiracy theorists. We have the biggest financial debacle since the creation of the Federal Reserve right in front of our noses. Massive job losses due to the very financials that have now gotten $$Billions more in our taxpayer money. Why? We throw more good money after bad because you believe that we must or else. Why? You don't seem to be questioning or even asking the right questions. You seem to believe everything that you see on TV or read in the newspaper. Why? The biggest transfer of wealth has again taken place on a massively global scale and you sit there and take it. Why? Just yesterday, Bernanke said that we may need to have a global financial oversight committee which may be used to find fault in the financials. He says that the Federal Reserve should probably be part of that. Why? It was Alan Greenspan that encouraged our government to take off the regulations (so that he and the Fed could engineer what has passed?) They didn't stop the banks from doing what they engineered in the first place!!!!! The SEC does not go after big business, only the little guy whose $100Billion dollar scam is just a drop in the bucket in comparison to the scam that the financials have played on every taxpayer. Today, Alan Greenspan says that the housing bubble wasn't his fault. Why? This from the guy who amazingly proclaimed that he does not understand Credit Default Swaps (CDS). Yet it is the Fed's responsibility to oversee financials, yet the Fed allowed the creation of a money-making tool (CDS) that they claim that they don't understand? Yeah RIGHT! Whatever! The Fed and their financial friends are laughing all the way to the bank! With YOUR money!! As one Swedish executive said on a business trip to the U.S. "Stupid Americans". So many of you are like sheep or cows to the slaughter. But you don't have to be. Like George Carlin says: QUESTION EVERYTHING! The video above is an older one made in 2007 If that Real ID Act in the video caught your eye, it did me too!! Here what we've got: Real ID Act Deadline Pushed Back to 2009 Mar 1, 2007, By Gina M. Scott According to a statement released today by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), states will now have until December 31, 2009 to implement the regulations of the Real ID act.
"Raising the security standards on driver's licenses establishes another layer of protection to prevent terrorists from obtaining and using fake documents to plan or carry out an attack," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "These standards correct glaring vulnerabilities exploited by some of the 9/11 hijackers who used fraudulently obtained drivers licenses to board the airplanes in their attack against America. We will work closely with states to implement these standards and protect American's privacy against identity theft and the use of fraudulent documents." DHS also announced that up to 20 percent of a state's Homeland Security Grant Program funds can be used to help implement Real ID. The act has come under fire recently with many senators speaking out against it, as well as the Maine legislature signing a joint resolution against its implementation. The National Governors Association (NGA) issued a statement regarding the introduction of an amendment by Senator Susan Collins to delay implementation of Real ID. "This proposal would provide states a more workable time frame to comply with federal standards, ensure necessary systems are operational and enhance the input states and other stakeholders have in the implementation process," said the NGA. "We are also pleased to have been able to work with Senator Susan Collins, and I believe that the proposed regulations reflect her approach," added Chertoff. One of the issues most debated about the Real ID act was its addition to the larger "Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief Act." "Real ID was stuffed into the supplemental appropriations bill for Hurricane Katrina and the troops in Iraq, so of course we had to vote for the bill," said Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, yesterday. "But we had no chance to amend it -- no debate, no hearing, and no consideration of other alternatives. And now we impose on the states an $11 billion unfunded mandate ... I would say we wouldn't be doing our job if we didn't stop and think about what we've done." ![]() It won't be too long in coming after this goes into effect, that everything gets put onto this card. It will essentially bring to pass the very thing written about in the bible: Revelation 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
It will be touted as the way to keep you kids safe. If you are one of millions who value your privacy then you should think hard about this. Because with it, you will be targeted by every type of marketing imaginable. Eventually, money won't be needed because either you have the credit or you don't. But those in power and under the radar will figure out how to steal your credits or pump up their own. Those in power will always have the upper hand. They will go to the front of the line while you are sent to the back. Equality will further degrade on the national and global level. But remember that it will be marketed to you as to your great advantage. Yet you will be giving anyone with the proper receiver, all the information on you and those of your family. There will be a mass movement to get you to accept the chip following the Real ID legislation. If you don't mind everyone who wants to know your business knowing, then go right ahead and sign up! Its only your life. This will become the start of the next financial scam. Unlike like the credit card, you will not be required to sign or provide a pin number. Your credit or
cash will be slowly removed from your account, unannounced. This will likely be just like the many fees, and charges levied upon you by your electric company. No one will understand but once you accept it, your hard earned money will be easy to take from you. But hey! They've wiped out many of the taxpayer's 401K plans, they taken over some financials leaving you the stock holder without value....so why not give them this on you? Hey, its only your life. You are just the sheep they heard this way and that, whichever way it suits their bank accounts and not yours! Have you actually NOTICED all those little silver boxes being
