SEVEN OR EIGHT TRILLION, HO HUM

That kind of rounds it off after yesterday's 4.6 trillion. We're talking economy and bailout rescue cash and credit, don't you know?

There has never been a more urgent need for a public clamor for information and explanation of the actions of these financial powers who assume authority to act in our name.

Who are the people doing this and what are they up to? To think that The Fed can toss around two trillion dollars and refuse to name the recipients ought to jar the complacent and apathetic folks who populate this land. But that's not all - they doubled down, twice.

The dollar is being defaced by wild and unbacked currency creation. Our creditors have to wonder.

In the Great Depression, The Fed virtually killed the economy's recover by retracting the supply of currency. Now, in this time of credit freezes, job losses and investors' panic, The Fed goes far beyond too far in the other direction.

Intervention is much worse than inaction when it comes to markets and corrections in the economy. The guvmint should keep its filthy hands off.

Meanwhile, call the cops, wring your senator's neck, storm the Bastille, do something.

It's all so simple.

$700 BILLION MORPHED INTO $4.5 TRILLION

First, they (Paulson and Bush) came for 700 billion bucks. Next, the Fed announced that it had gone ahead and spread two trillion Federal Reserve notes to entities not identified - probably foreign banks. Now, the figure has risen to a total of four and one half trillion smackeroos.

And you thought it was your country; that Congress is the power; and talk of secret deals (conspiracies) is nuts. Please assign staff to look into this and have your people call my people.

Is it time to move to China? Or should we move on Washington?

Let's just abolish the Fed, return to gold money and shoot the 50 worst Congresspersons every year, as H.L. Mencken suggested.

It's all so simple.

WE DOTH PROTEST TOO LITTLE, ME THINKS

Our president tells us to support the bailouts because "your hometown bank might be in trouble."

Our president elect calls our economy "the worst in a century" and insists "things will get worse before getting better."

This shallow pair has scared many of us into actions which will fulfill their dire observations.

Even the not-too-swift Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a president whose nation was already in a real depression, knew enough to calm the people. "All we have to fear is fear itself," he said just before he turned around and installed a frightful New Deal.

Now the meddling begins. Guvmint will attempt to fix this and then correct that. They almost admit they don't know what to do, but they can't resist doing something.

Free enterprise was never free enough. It has a nature of cycles, brief and not deep, which are self-correcting. But the neosocialists don't have faith in freedom.

A Pressident Ron Paul would have had this crisis over by now, by adopting laissez faire policies.

It's all so simple.

AUTO MAINTENANCE

America has neglected its major industry. That would be automobiles, which comprise about one seventh of our economy, if you include related enterprises such as auto parts, fuel, etc.

In our penchant quest for national economic suicide, we dropped tariff protection on Henry Ford's invention.

Tariifs were great revenue producers before income taxes became the rage. Why shouldn't a nation protect its favorite, most exotic product against foreign competition which employs "coolie" labor costs plus sneaky government subsidies? Doesn't fair play mean anything?

Factories - especially car makers - are jewels on the American landscape. As they tend to disappear, for many despicable reasons, we should treat them with care.

The bad guys are trying to give "protectionism" a bad name. The opposite of protection would be neglect. We have a national duty to protect people and companies which provide jobs and advance our civilization. Sure, the American consumer pays more this way, but those are the costs you see. The hidden costs of lost industries are far greater.

Tariffs are the answer. We have tariffs to save our steel industry, why not for Buicks, Lincolns and Dodges?

Outlaw union strikes and add $3000 duties on every foreign-made chariot landing at our seaports. Forget the bailouts.

It's all so simple.

HYPOCRITES EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK

Columnist Maureen Dowd was mentioned by The Spectrum's editor, Todd Seifert, as a prospective balance to the unbalanced Charles Krauthammer's anticipated addition to the editorial page.

Not really. Dowd is already writing her let's-get-the-cold-war- warmed-up-again columns in national papers. She blames Russia for the fighting and crisis in Georgia without even mentioning how Georgia came in shooting and killing the Ossetians they claimed to love. Georgian forces also killed 10 Russian peacekeepers who worked in Ossetia under international auspices. Refugees fled into Russia for safety.

Ossetia has never been a part of Georgia, and they refuse demands that they join the nation. Ossetians have had close ties to Russians, who have demonstrated sympathy with them for more than 15 years.

The attack by the Russian military on Georgia's invading army was natural and normal.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Hang Gliding

Several friends and relatives have noticed the absence of radio talk hosts who express sentiments against war, big oil, lobbyists, tax cuts only for top earners, our carefree health care system, corporate welfare, bank bail-outs, empire building, and deficit spending.

What's the reason for the one-sided broadcasts? I had believed that the public was not interested in anything but conservative and neocon prattle. Now, I've discovered the ownership situations in the news outlets. Major corporations hire the Seans, Rushes, Glenns, and Ollies to say what the corporations want said.

Overheard at Slippery Slope Saloon

"Senator John McCain said he doesn't know how many houses he owns. No more for me, bartender. I'm feeling kind of weak."

FRESH COLUMNISTS AT THE WAR PAPER

Editor Todd Seifert writes that he's considering adding Charles Krauthammer (aka Dr. Strangelove) to the editorial page of The Spectrum. Shock & awe - mostly shock.

I've been futilely chiding the hometown paper to inform us on the sanctions, depleted uranium, Blackwater security operations, and the new oil law written by our state department for the Iraq government. If Krauthammer ever mentions those, chances are he'll be in favor of them.

Many readers are still reeling over Senator Orrin Hatch's visit to The Spectrum. The senator claims we went to war to protect Israel. NOW, he tells us, six years after he voted to let our president attack for other reasons. Did the editors scold Hatch? Can a shrimp whistle?

The column by Spectrum's world-affairs-expert-for-20-years writer glorifies war enough without bringing in the ultimate jingoist. The editor plans to balance out this unbalanced writer with another columnist - probably Maureen Dowd.

Not enough. Pray for peace.

It's all so simple.

RON PAUL / RALPH NADER. THAT'S THE TICKET.

They both oppose war and intend to reduce self-serving corporate influences. Both know what they believe, with conviction. Paul and Nader would reform national health care. Yes, the former would encourage more freedom and alternative solutions; the latter would nationalize it. Either way would be better than the mess we have now which is riddled with graft, injustice and falling care.

A Paul-Nader team in the White House would deliver peace, balanced budgets, economic integrity, and confidence in the American people.

Paul and Nader; Peace and Prosperity.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Watching Truth Slip Slide Away:

The beat goes on. The armed forces of the nation of Georgia attacked its breakaway provinces of S. Ossetia and Abkhazia, which border Russia. A similar operation was undertaken years ago, and resulted in Russia sending in a permanent peacekeeping force under the auspices of an international agreement.

The breakaway provinces, especially Ossetia, declared their own independent nationhood at the same time as Georgia, when the Soviet Union fell apart. Georgia would not recognize Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, and became violent about it. The two provinces turned to Russia for recognition, trade and support. While broiling for about a decade, the situation was calmed by the presence of Russian peacekeepers and the expressions of friendship from Russian leaders such as Putin.

It was the Georgians who started the fighting and shooting this week. Georgian attacks killed 10 Russian civilians, peacekeepers who were there to prevent violence. Russia moved in to deny Georgia's annexations and to rescue its own people.

Instead of starting Cold War II, we should dig into the motives of Georgia's strange actions. The Georgian army was trained by American and Israei advisers. Hmmm.

Meetings & Events

The Dixie Pessimists' Club invites the public to Frenchy's to hear this month's speaker reveal the truth about growth, crime, water shortages, traffic, and affordable housing - which all are beyond solving. Reservations are required so call today, if it's not already too late. Seven pm on Tuesday.

SAD HISTORY

Hey, I found my way back from the tender trap they call San Diego. I know, you didn't miss me or call 911. It's okay, at least I escaped. More than a million people are permanently stuck there, with the lazy weather, the pounding surf, the addicting good feeling, etc. Whew!

Back in reality, I overheard four men talking - no, arguing - about why we attacked Iraq. What other war in our pretty noble history raises questions like this? One of the men in the discussion said, "It wasn't oil. We really thought they had WMD, so we had to go in there."

Another guy said, "We have to protect Israel. We were concerned that Saddam would go after them."

The third dude said, "I just believe we needed more bases in the area to insure peace and protect our interests. We have bases in Germany, Japan, Korea, and about 50 other spots. But we had very little power in the Middle East."

They wear me out. It's oil. Remember, the war was for oil. American and British companies drilled and pumped Iraq's oil before Saddam. Then he kicked them out. Now, Exxon, Chevron and British Petrol are back in Iraq, big time.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Looking for my Wallet

- Did you know that the president said he gave up chocolates because of the war? A few months later, he told the press that he'd given up playing golf because of the war.

- Suddenly, Iraq is back burner; Afghanistan is on the front; Iran is about to go into the oven.

- Friends, enemies and the undecided have insisted I clarify my recent remarks about our national currency. Here goes: Unbacked money is ultimately worthless and should be spent immediately upon receiving, before others realize how worthless it is.

Meeting & Events

- "Volunteers to leave Dixie" will meet Tuesday at 2 pm in the Convention Center. A large gathering is desired because this growth thing has gotten out of hand.

- Dr. Ira Longterm, economist, will speak on the prospects of paying people to emigrate from Dixie, thus mitigating the water problem. The project for a water pipeline from Lake Powell could be scrapped, and some of the $1,000,000,000 saved could be paid to those who get out of town. The public is invited to the talk to be given at the airport waiting room tonight at 7 pm.

START SPREADING THE NEWS

The recession is over. They never do last very long, which is the reason many folks don't know about them until they're gone. Yup, we had one and it pinched a bit. But the good days have returned, so it's back to our lattes, dinners and extravagances which employ so many good Americans and immigrants, keeping us out of another recession. You should tell any of your friends who've lost the faith that happy days are here again.

Maybe you haven't heard: our money is actually debt-based. We have to keep the stuff circulating. It's funny money; call it magic paper. You can't redeem it for anything, however, as long as people feel good they'll keep on feeling good.

What recession?

You heard it here first.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Waiting In Line:

The province of China that had the mammoth earthquake several weeks back counts five million homeless victims. They don't have a recession, either. And it's not a depression in China. The situation is a desperate life-or-death struggle to survive without shelter or provisions.

The public is invited to a lecture at the main library, Friday 6 pm. A speaker from the Soul Travel club will address the Dixie Metaphysical Society on the topic: "Where to leave your body while you're out of it, so you can find it when you return."

NOT SURGE, SPLURGE

How could anyone not be relieved with the reduced killing in Iraq? For months, a civil war raged with American and Coalition forces caught in the middle. Then the famous surge was launched by our commander-in-chief. He sent 30,000 additional troops to add to the 120,000 already there. Well, what do you know? The fighting subsided and the civil war ended. The self praise and congratulations and boastings have filled the air ever since.

But wait, another factor entered in which was recently admitted but never received publicity. Our military stepped up its distribution of cash to combatants. Sort of a "Federal Reserve Notes for Peace" program. Several top Sunni Sheiks were paid top dollar to stop their forces from attacking Shiites, especially in Basra and Sadr City. With no exaggeration, we paid a few million here and several million there. Each soldier in the Sunni army of insurgents has averaged $300 per month from Uncle Sam. This was the case in at least six locations of Iraq. We bought the peace.

Call it Splurge. The vaunted Surge provided only a 20% increase in boots on the ground. Depositing millions of dollars into the right hands probably had much more impact.

We should recognize that Bush's stunning strategy of paying our enemies to stop their hostile actions far surpasses diplomacy as an alternative to fighting. $hock and awe. Bring 'em on $$$$. Mi$$ion accompli$hed.

$plurge. There's no blood spilled in a splurge.

It's all so simple.

Overheard At Only The Lonely

- "Yesterday, the president issued one of those executive orders to allow offshore drilling of oil. This man is slow, I mean backward. He just now thought of that? If I were the president, we'd be selling oil by now, not buying the stuff."

- "I don't follow the news but I recall that the Democrats won the last election, so I guess they ended the war like they said, huh? Tell me, did the enemy follow us home?"

WHAT'S THIS SOCIALISM?

In this United States of America, you think of banking and mortgage houses and brokerage firms as citadels of capitalism. So guess what happens when the going gets rough.

SOCIALISM.

They call in Karl Marx and the government bail-out crew to save them.

The free market would work, if we'd only try it sometime. The wise investors would win fortunes and the reckless ones would lose their shirts, at least. That would be free enterprise. But Americans who boast about it the most apparently don't really believe in it.

No wonder the poor people in this country don't want to pay taxes.

The government didn't bail out the small hardware stores and drug stores when Wal-Mart (subsidized by sweetheart deals with municipalities) came to town and used predatory pricing procedures to erase them.

No one rushed in to help mom and pop in the corner grocery stores when they were eaten alive by Krogers, Albertsons and Safeway.

The monster federal government isn't interested in you if you're small. I know a man who had seven employees and was turned down for a loan by the Small Business Administration. They told him, "Your business is too small."

It's all so simple.

The Senate approved The Great Dictator's request for still more wiretapping. (Our own Orrin Hatch was at the lead for this latest affront to our liberty.) What happened to the big-talking candidate? Well, he's no different, he went along with the fascist gang. Both Orrin and Obama voted against your privacy.

But we called him out on strikes months ago.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Changing A Tire

- The subject of foreign aid has been a touchy topic for years. Surprising to learn that the governments of Sweden and Japan give away far more money to needy nations than we do (on a per capita basis.)

- Let's see now. More than three million Iraqis have fled the country to become refugees in Jordan. Another 150,000 have died in the war. We killed one and one-half million young and elderly Iraqis with our 11-year blockade sanctions on food and medicine. Please add up the terrible total, I don't want to.

- My bank is giving away free popsicles to anyone who opens an account. I am so moved by this that I find it impossible to comment. There must be something here I don't comprehend.

NO MORE SOUTHERN GOVERNORS

We'll have to change the Constitution to amend the qualifications for president, and bar governors from the South. If we had done this, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush would have been precluded, excluded and eluded.

If this proposal is debated, we'll be elated, inflated and satiated.

The heat in Georgia, Arkansas and Texas fries the brain, causing leadership qualities to melt too much for consideration as president.

ALIEN NATION AND ALIENATION

Society watchers have noted for decades that Americans are becoming more and more alienated from one another. This brings problems by the bunch. Loneliness, rejection, resentment, anger, indifference, withdrawal, isolation, and miscommunication are some of the negatives.

Add in our new alien nation situation and we have still more alienation. People need to integrate. Immigrants keep to themselves too much for their own good or for the rest of us.

We can all be more inclusive, less exclusive.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Loitering

- Let's hope the government doesn't create a Department of Alienation Corrections or start a War on Alienation. We can fix this problem (and most others) without the government.

SWIMMING IN THE GUVMINT POOL

Kanab is the focus of another debate over city rules. A few years back it was gayism (our term) and people came forward to take a stand - both ways.

This new issue is about skimpy-little-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot bikinis. First, the city council said "You can't dress like that at the municipal pool." Then the bare skin crowd got organized and gave the council members a dressing down. The rules were amended and now less is more. The city doesn't have much to show for it.

The debate is about swim suits, but it ought to be about the pools themselves.

Why do city governments build and maintain swimming holes? What has that to do with preserving the liberties or protecting the lives of the citizens? Golf courses, recreational facilities, art museums, and municipal pools would be private industries (taxable) if the governments had not inserted themselves as virtual monopolies.

If municipal pools are to be, then let's get city socialism into bowling lanes, yoga studios, book stores, and fast food.

Governments and religions should not compete with their members.

It's all so simple.

Thoughts While Meditating

Supreme Court rules in favor of our owning guns. Guns were called "equalizers" back in the forties. (I was there.) The glorious and noble equalizers give a fair chance to an aging grandmother in a dark parking lot no matter how fierce the hood is.

The American colonists owned equalizers before the War for Independence. If King George had imposed gun control, there would have been no Lexington and Concord.

Three cheers for the equalizers.

TOO LATE TO VOTE?

Many citizens don't vote because they think it doesn't matter, that the government is too big to care what voters want. They suggest that all of the candidates are the same, and no positive changes result from voting. Also, they claim politicians break promises regularly, so what are you going to do?

A bumper sticker says Don't Vote, It Only Encourages Them.

Thinkers' Guide's answer to this monumental problem is to vote for Congress as a group instead of as individual representatives. Tie their paychecks to their performances as a whole. If you want details on the mechanics of this plan, give me a call. If a Democrat or Republican answers, hang up the phone.

The puppet government in Iraq announced no-bid contracts to several oil companies, including Exxon-Mobil and Chevron. There will be more news to come out, and we're telling. Our state department, headed by former Chevron executive Condi Rice, assisted the Iraqi lawmakers in writing the new oil law.

Alan Greenspan said the war on Iraq was about oil; Vice President Cheney tells us it was for oil and Israel.

The truth is emerging now, and the oil slicks are exposed for all to see.

The dangers of brain damage from cell phones has been recognized for years.
