Is the U.S. Prepared for a Black Swan?

I’m thinking hyperinflation, combined with Islamo-fascist assaults on Israel, combined with a debt crisis and the current fundamental transformation agenda.

clipped from www.heritage.org What Is a “Black Swan”? a “Black Swan” as an event that “is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations. … It carries an extreme impact [and] human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact.”[1] In Japan, neither the earthquake nor the tsunami was a Black Swan event—Japan has long expected a powerful earthquake and deployed sensor technology in its waters to detect a tsunami—but the two events combined to form a Black Swan. 1. Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) or Solar Burst 2. Pandemic Virus 3. Nuclear or Radiological Event 4. Super-Volcanic Eruption 5. Nor’Easter/Hurricane

A Political Comedy

If this does not forebode disaster, I don’t know what will. This is a game, People. If those of you who continue to call yourselves Republicans do not wake up, it won’t be leftists who destroy this country. It will be your petty attachment to the letter (R). This could be the official end of the Tea Party OR it’s authentic birth. Now, let us listen to Limbaugh and Levin bash US for bashing Republicans. It is they who are responsible for this. We have no one else to blame.

So mom and dad, with much drama and angst and finger-pointing about each other’s irresponsibility and insensitivity, stage marathon sessions of dinner-table talks to solve the problem.� They finally agree to reduce the family’s annual spending from $101,600 to $100,584. For this 1 percent cut in their spending, mom and dad congratulate each other.� And to emphasize that this spending cut shows that they are responsible stewards of the family’s assets, they approvingly quote Sen. Harry Reid “Both sides have had to make tough choices. But tough choices is what this job is all about.”

Another Question About Obama’s Past

It is amazing how little is know about this creep. He wins an election for state Senate with connections to Alinski-radicals and ACORN radicals, then he wins an election for US Senate after suing to have his opponent removed. In the US Senate his most often cast vote on anything of any significance is ‘present’, and in his spare time he decorates his office and “writes” 2 memoirs and announces his bid for President. There is no paper trail, birth records, life witnesses, college grades, life connections, employment history, legislative record, etc. There are ZERO life accomplishments, he has never had a job except a token teaching engagement that was awarded based on NOTHING except his need to run for political office. His education records are sealed. No one can find a birth certificate. He has paid lawyers millions to cover up his past.
Then…To top it all off, he wins the presidency and every action he takes is to disrespect the office, disrespect the nation and citizens, and punch us in the nose with crippling energy policy, high consumer prices, high food prices, etc. He ignores a crucial moment in Iranian history and takes advantage of helping to topple an Ally in Egypt. He is rude to our friends and friendly to our enemies. He then tells us to get a tune-up and make sure our tires are properly inflated. Was that supposed to be a joke?
Or is the joke on us?

Federal Government Prosecutes Barter

Get this. A guy has some silver. He turns into what is basically a work of art because it is obviously not legal tender, nor is made to appear so. He was prosecuted for counterfeiting. Does this make sense to anyone?

clipped from finance.yahoo.com Federal prosecutors on Monday tried to take a hoard of silver “Liberty Dollars” worth about $7 million that authorities say was invented by an Indiana man to compete with U.S. currency. Bernard von NotHaus, 67, was convicted last month in federal court in Statesville on conspiracy and counterfeiting charges for making and selling the currency, which he promoted as inflation-proof competition for the U.S. dollar. His Charlotte-based lawyer, Aaron Michel, is appealing that verdict. He wrote in a motion filed Thursday that von NotHaus did nothing wrong because he didn’t try to pass the Liberty Dollars off as U.S. dollars. “The prosecutors successfully painted Mr. von NotHaus in a false light and now the U.S. Attorney responsible for the prosecution is painting the case in a false light, saying that it establishes that private voluntary barter currency is illegal,” Michel wrote.

Evil

Image via Wikipedia

The extremes of good and evil are becoming more pronounced in our world. The masks are coming off. It is as if the good are departing on a ship and evil remains on the land. The apathetic remain on the loading dock. As the ship pulls away, the apathetic, uncommitted, indecisive, unsure, impatient, unfaithful and unloving herd who went through life without armor fall away and drown.
Evil is apathy and apathy begins by having a lack of faith.
The good wins when the apathetic are no more because evil is sustained by apathy.

Apathy allows it.” -Jake Thomas     “Apathy is the glove in which evil slips it’s hand.” – Anonymous     “It is much easier always to prevent an evil than to rectify mistakes.” -G. Washington     “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” Edmund Burke     “When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.” – Martin Luther King   Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:6-7)

Thoughts on Jesus and Nimrod

In the Old Testament Nimrod is referred to as a hunter of men. He set out to build bricks, which is metaphorically related to the individual, individuals were more like stones because no two stones are alike. Before Nimrod, stones were the chosen material for construction. Bricks are all alike and uniform. Nimrod set out to hunt men and build a society of uniform people to rival God. Contrast that with Jesus who says “I will make you fishers of men.”

Ignorance leads to frustration leads to violence

If one wonders why the Left becomes so violent, then look at the grimace on the governor’s face. Leftist’s (currently dominated by prog-fascists) defy logic and decency in their ideology and arguments. It is the same ideology of the common criminal. When one becomes so frustrated at their own inability to reconcile their beliefs with the common wisdom and common sense of the general public, then they become irrational and frustrated to the point of lunacy. That is why loonies are loonies. They become so comfortable in their hatred. It is why they can look upon the third-world with indifference. It is why they are so selfish and do not give to charities. It is why they hate decency and promote indecency. It is why they resist logic and promote confusion and anarchy.
We should understand that Leftists are not only political opponents. They are opponents of all that is good.
They believe because that because they have a facebook or Twitter account that they are smarter and morally su

Obama in the Leftist Danger Zone

If Obama thinks the votes of tea-party types is bad, wait until he has a run in with the violent Left. I have believed Obama is in a pickle. I know he wants to govern as much on the Left as he can, but the political realities prevent that. His choice as I see it is 1. Continue as he has to govern as a partisan ideologue and stoke the division, or 2. Face the angry Left as he tries to moderate in policy and tone, which will likely result in violence. The Left has not been this close to complete control. I doubt they will give it up without a fight.

According to a source in the room, he was pressed multiple times as to why the administration has declined to be more combative with Republicans

Violent Rhetoric Is on the Up-tick

I have been noticing, as I am sure many of you have, the increase in talk of violence and revolution. I have heard it non-stop from the Left and in the last couple of weeks it has reached a fever-pitch. I am not sure if this is just belly-aching about the election and the fact that Leftists hate democracy when it does not yield the results they desire or if it is an attempt to stir the boiling kettle. I think it is important for those of us on the Right, the vast majority, to not engage in any way in these discussions that consist of threatening rhetoric.

This type of rhetoric happens in lots of ways too. I’ve noticed the increase in passive-aggressive rhetoric of those who call right-leaning editorialists mean-spirited while they cheer Olbermann’s nightly foaming at the mouth, Jon Stewart calling people on the right insane, suggesting oil prices should be inflated to the point where millions suffer to help pass a leftist AGW agenda…And they call themselves the reasonable modera
