2006 Things to come. Where do we go from here

U.S. in Technical Default :.

And somehow, the band plays on:

In a shocking development, the Treasury Department website is openly stating that as of January 24, 2006 our national debt stood at $8,185.3 billion and on January 26th at $8,190.5 billion.

www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpenny.htm

Yet the US national debt 'ceiling', the maximum amount of debt the US government may hold at any one time, stands at $8,184 billion - a full $5.5 billion less. Although called upon by John Snow, Congress has not yet passed an expansion of the debt ceiling and so the US government is now operating in technical default.

You may recall that when last the debt ceiling was approached in the months surrounding the 2004 elections, the Treasury department furiously employed every accounting trick in the book (and then some) to avoid breaching the limit. They even went so far as to take the unprecedented step of borrowing $14 billion from the Federal Financing Bank to cover up the shortfall.

But they never breached the ceiling.

On January 24th they breached it brazenly and openly and with nary an accompanying explanation. Neither have any lawmakers have broached this indelicate subject.

I suppose we could write this off as merely an unsurprising development from a government that no longer bothers to even appear to be adhering to rules, laws and procedures, let alone actually doing so.

But the silence is all the more troubling because there is an unprecedented level of government borrowing on the books for 1Q06 with next 2 weeks (Feb 1st to Feb 9th) an especially busy period of time. An ambitious ~$70-$80b in Treasury paper will hit the market.

The federal government does not have the legal authority to borrow above the statutory debt limit, which raises the prospect of emergency congressional action to avoid a full-fledged default.

Someone should ask Cat Stevens if the levy is dry?


Cat Stevens diddnt write that song. It was someone else who died in a plane crash. The Levy Was Dry though, no need to ask.

In The Nation That Fell To Earth,
By a Harverd Historian, named Niel Fergison,

It was predicted that in 60 years, young americans will look at the 911 attacks as "a strange abertation". I must say that, while the sufferings of the people in the towers were definatly horrific, and tremendously so, the extent of my compassion is limited by the continuity of the same manifest torture day in day out on a world wide scale all over the earth.

The article was written from the stand point of the future, and to the average reader, it was a pasive prediction regarding the next 60 years,

but I saw it more as an economic manifesto.

This, so called, "historian" alleged that following the first term of G. W. Bush's presedency, elections happened as ussual.

Considering the irony in this made me wonder how the american people were supposed to understand an election that was stollen, and baught, by a segragated party within the population to be a usual happening. With this in mind the rest of the article has the potential to be understood in any given way, as a suggestive piece of maniputation, or as a challangeing test for intelegent citizens, or as a multy-faceted holgraphic article.

That the next month's magazine's "letters" eddition didn't contain any objections to two twists in the telling of history, undeniable by even the staunch of republicans as I will go on to demonstrate, allmost proves that the readers of the biggest magazine in the country, i would guess, are indifferent to the way blacks and democrats were undermined blatently in a political conquest that could only have had it's motive in some strange saga.

Of course, in 50 years, no one will look at the 911 attacks as a strange abberation, because I am about to equalize the damage.

Fergison perports that the democratic state, and the same capitolist state will survive and win the war that is today considered to be a war on terror, or an Iraq War, through intlegence opperations that were called in his article, "the monitoring of cells". He goes on to predict that following the war we will turn our attention to the "serious bussiness of technological inovation".

As I have allready defined Fergison's article as a manifesto, it does not over step my estimation of his intentions to declare that his goal is to ripen society for the mass acceptence of cellular implants. While the justification of such a widespread population controll divice will be the eradication of terrorist cells and regimes, the cost will be life it self, as these little micro chips and satilite comunication tools will not serve to propigate the furterence of natural life any more than any other weastern technology. The same reason why the world trade centers were besiged in the first place, the gross inequity that plagues the planet will only be further developed with the help of little micro chips that will give "american democracy" and what is really, "capitolist imperialism" a clear advantage over disadvantaged life forms that seek only to grow from the source of all existence, and not the main fraim of one intelgent collector of datta.

Obviously the weapon for his planned democratic victory to befall the earth is the implimentation of unnatural devices into the bodies of those who would object. And since an objection to such a plan is more than natural, while the support of one is against the cause of nature considering the fact that weastern medicine has never avanced beyond the medines of the Kemetins or the Taoists, not to mention the shamamans. One is not overly rash in decaring the fall of these said intentions to be inevitable and fair.

The failure of Fergison to analyse the conditon of life on this planet even once in his article that perports to be a, "where do we go from here" establishes that many men no longer realize that part of our nature is compasion, also endless compassion, (acompanied by intelegence of course). With out an istinctual intrinsic concern for our "world", our ability to sence and feel become atrophiated.

This is clearly the case. Dispite the great network of comunication that has been built, despite the vast bounty of scientific research and skill hat has been aquired, all of my life i have not seen the cumulative compasion of humanity arise to the leavel of divinity. Abject poverty and disease were not lessoned by the event of the renecience, or the enlightenment, the two jewels that weasten society believes gives them a credit card for slaughter. In fact dispite any program ever in the history of the history channel, the earth has gotten worce and while we "build" all sorts of shit, we kill the rain forest and in the meantime children starve for lack of nutrition.

Mr. Fergison obvously does not give a shit for the world. For the same reason, the intelgence monitoring systems he wants Americans to buy into are worthelss, and you woud do better to say no when they start stickin you with microsoft version x into your brain.

the demise of corporate america is already written


how bad do you wanna cuss out the scared old man in the wheel chair?



the only reason why we are even discussing this is because the scared old man is doing his best to transfer his fear into us and make us move



he is scared, but he is smart

(brilliant as a matter of fact)



"if one could say what it means to do good, it would be to endure suffering"



time becomes something you can walk on, and paradise exists in the past and future (though as we are seeing now, the abyss is deep and everlasting if we choose to dwell there)


in due time, yelling 'fuck corporate america' is a statement that will have as much significance as saying 'i dont like the lay out of this room'


anger is a good motivational tool on the one hand
but if it is not matched with creativity and resourcefulness it will simply lead to more pressure


all is well that ends well
and it all ends well
