The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different …  Two Different Versions ….  Two Different Morals

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.  The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN
VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the
winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.  come winter, the shivering
grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while
he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant
in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.  How can this be, that in a
country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?  Kermit the Frog appears on NBC with the grasshopper
and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green…’ the Labor Unions stage a demonstration in front of the ant’s
house where the news stations film the group singing, “We shall overcome.” Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright  has the group kneel down to
pray for thegrasshopper’s sake. President Obama condemns the ant  and blames  President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher
Columbus, and the Pope  for the grasshopper’s plight.  Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid  exclaim in an interview on NBC
that the ant has gotten rich off the back of  the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him
pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number  of green bugs and,  having  nothing left to  pay his retroactive taxes, his home is
confiscated by the Government GreenCzar and given  to the grasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his
free-loading  friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is  in, which, as you recall, just
happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t  maintain it.  The ant has  disappeared in the
snow, never to be seen again The grasshopper is found  dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is
taken over  by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous  and peaceful, neighborhood.  The entire Nation collapses
bringing the rest  of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2012. This Nation can’t take any more “change you can believe in”

If George W.  Bush had doubled the national
debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would
you have  approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again
within 10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he
never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

If George W. Bush joined the country of   Mexico and sued a
state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal
immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who’s side he was
on?

If George W. Bush had put 87000 workers out of work by
arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies
that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one company
had an accident would you have agreed?

If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the
moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you
support him?

If George W. Bush had been the first President to
need aTelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference,
would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his
own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have  approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement
plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM,
would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense
of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of
inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon  Brown had given
him a thoughtful and historically  significant gift, would you have
approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of
England an iPod  containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought
this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi
Arabia  , would you have approved?

If George W.
Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent “Austrian
language,” would you have brushed it off as a  minor slip?

If George  W. Bush had filled his cabinet
and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their
income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57
states in theUnited States, would you have said that he is clueless.

If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to
Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him
walking out his front door in Texas , would you have thought he was a self
important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

If George W. Bush  had been so Spanish
illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican
ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it
when he tried again, would you have winced in  embarrassment?

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word
“advice” would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle
and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet
fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air
Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in
downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered
whether they actually get what happened on  9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid
to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made
homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing
political issue with claims of racism and  incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32
Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of
what is happening in America , would you have  approved.

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the
CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to
do so, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that
makes him so  brilliant and impressive?  Can’t think of
anything?  Don’t  worry.  He’s done all this in 15 months — so
you have two years from this November to come up with this difficult decision.

Every statement in this
email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama.
Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Now and then//1929, 2009//the coming Depression. Part XV

26 July 2011

The Depression Is Here

I have
not written on this series since last October; I would have loved nothing more
than to be SO WRONG that everyone would laugh at me. For almost two years I
wrote about a forthcoming DEPRESSION that would make the “Great Depression” of
1929 look and feel like a mild recession. Over the last year or so this
administration and the “left-wing” “bias” Obama loving main stream media has
talked down any possibility of a second dip in our recession. {Second
Dip/Recession}? My ass; We are in the beginning of a harsh depression, our
people in Congress known it, our banking system know it and the FED not only
knows it but will take the very steps that couldn’t get us out of the
Recession.

QE3 by
any definition is nothing more than a “bail-out” and will not work any better
than any of the previous bail-outs/stimulus have. In fact the next round of
bail-outs/stimulus or FED manipulation of the interest rates, required reserve
on hand and QE3 quantitative easing will in a very short time move unemployment
levels beyond those of the “Great Depression”. You must of course accept the
possibility that our actually unemployment rate today is in reality somewhere
between 19% and 22%.

Our elected officials (both parties) know what’s
going on, the main news media knows what’s going on, our banking
firms/investment firms know what’s going on and the Federal Reserve Board (and
chairman) certainly know what’s going on. The truth is, they can’t tell you, if
they did, they wouldn’t have a job the next day.

We will soon start
hearing from Washington and the economic experts that though it was a severe
and prolonged recession, yet nowhere near the 25% unemployment rate of the “Great
Depression”. Folks, please understand that the current unemployment rate of 9.2%
is a manipulated number which eliminated about a third of actual unemployed
from the unemployment rolls. The Bureau of Labor statistics drops “marginally
attached to the workforce” and “discouraged worker”, unemployment rate now goes
up to about 10.9%.

If we
now add the “part time” work force (over 15 million) our unemployment rate is
just barely under 15%.

If the “Bureau
of Labor Statistics” provided us with an unemployment rate which used the
formula that counts “long-term unemployed” (as was done prior 1992) the actual unemployment
rate today is as I stated, somewhere between 19%-22%.

The government
defines an unemployment rate of 25% as “Depression”. I have written since the summer
of 2009 (in this series) that we (if in fact not globally) would be in a full
blown depression between October 2011 and the summer of 2012.

And if
I am right, and we are in an unemployment rate of about 22%; then I have to
believe that what “Big Ben” at the Federal Reserve Board does next will
certainly put us in unemployment of 29%-32%.

Is it
just I saying this, who am I, a nobody. I’m not an economist, I have never
worked on Wall Street, I have never represented a banking or investment firm
nor called upon to advise government officials; But, I was born before World
War II ended, A Viet Nam Vet, I was in my 30’s during the gas lines of 73/74, I
survived the hard times of Carter. But most important I served DOD for 42 years
and I learned a lot, I’ve seen and lived the height of waste, the stupidity of
non-accountability and yet at the same time the best that the world had to
offer.

No’’, it is not just I
saying all this. If you never do anything else, do this; immediately stop believing
anything coming out of Washington; or at least, stop believing it without
verification. Start verifying all statistics through TechnoMetrica Market
Intelligence and Shadow Government Statistics. One of them has the unemployment
rate at 28.6% for the second week of July.

I would be amiss if I didn’t comment of the current
on-going fiasco on the “debt limit” discussions. The whole process (both
parties and the White House) is nothing more than a cover so that one side can
blame the other side for the forthcoming Depression.

Next week-I explain my thoughts on why this
depression will be global and set things in motion for global financial
regulations and controls.

OIL—you better be sitting down when you read this!!

You “will” pay $5 a gallon + again and you won’t complain loud enough
to make a difference, RIGHT!

Here’s an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil
and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, “I am
going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much
oil does the U.S. have in the ground?” Forbes did not miss a beat, he
said, “more than all the Middle East put together.” Please read
below.

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists
and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report
(hadn’t been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the
western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana
….. Check THIS out:

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska ‘s
Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on
foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503
billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable… At $107 a
barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5…3 trillion.

“When I first briefed legislators on this, you could
practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea..” says Terry
Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.

“This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil
field found in the past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to
as the ‘Bakken’. It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and
into Canada. For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end.
Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago.
However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s massive
reserves….. And we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because
this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just
$16 PER BARREL!

That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041
years straight. And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one
should – because it’s from 2006!

U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World
.
Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies
the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION
barrels. On August 8, 2005, President Bush mandated its extraction. In three
and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this
motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?

They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our
borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official
estimates:

- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia

- 18-times as much oil as Iraq

- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait

- 22-times as much oil as Iran

- 500-times as much oil as Yemen

- and it’s all right here in the Western United States.

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the
environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become
independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people
dictate our lives and our economy…..WHY?

James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this
very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels
untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the
world today, reports The Denver Post.

Don ‘t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price – even with this find?
Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, – it has to. Think
OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

Got your attention yet? Now, while you’re thinking about it, do this:

Pass this along. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then
you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices – by
doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one
of you sent this to every one in your address book.

By the way…this is all true. Check it out at the link below!!!

GOOGLE it, or follow this link. It will blow your mind.

“We have tried spending money. We
are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work…We have
never made good on our promise. I say after eight years of this administration
we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And an enormous debt to
boot!”

Then Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau in 1939 told
the House Ways and Means Committee:

No truer
words could be spoken today.

A woman
in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and
spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you
help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know
where I am.”

The man
consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon,
approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level.
You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09
minutes west longitude.

“She
rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.”

“I
am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”

“Well,”
answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically
correct.  But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m
still lost.  Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”

The man
smiled and responded, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”

“I
am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”

“Well,”
said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you are going..
You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.  You
made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your
problem.  You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s my fault.”

57 Cent Church

A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away
because it was ‘too crowded.’

‘I can’t go to Sunday School,’ she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.

Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and,
taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday
school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her, and she went
to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.

Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement
buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor who had befriended
their daughter to handle the final arrangements.

As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled red purse was
found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump.

Inside was found 57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting, which
read: ‘This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go
to Sunday School.’

For two years she had saved for this offering of love.

When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do.
Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the
story of her unselfish love and devotion.

He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger
building.

But the story does not end there….

A newspaper learned of the story and published It. It was read by a wealthy
realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.

When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it to the
little church for 57 cents.

Within five years the little girl’s gift had increased to $250,000.00–a huge
sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love had paid
large dividends.

When you are in the
city ofPhiladelphia , look up Temple Baptist Church , with a
seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit TempleUniversity, where thousands
of students are educated.

Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School
building which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child in
the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.

In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face
of the little girl whose 57 cents, so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable
history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr. Russell H.
Conwell, author of the book, ‘Acres of Diamonds’.

This is a true story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57 CENTS.

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

This, my friends, is how Congress operates… and is why, from time to time, all of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.
