Franklin's Focus 8/4/10
The revelations regarding
big banks are a powerful condemnation. The role of federal law
enforcement in allowing big banks to engage in massive corruption with
no more than a slap on the wrist is at a minimum interesting. If you
hate banks, you might find this article rather interesting. It adds a
new dimension as to who is keeping the vast and futile drug war going.
Legalizing marijuana would be a rational start.…

Dog Poet Transmitting…….
War is looming and might be only one week away. I say this to put it in perspective. It stands to reason that it will surely happen before the November elections, for a variety of reasons. We know its coming because the chief drumbeaters are lunatics, drunk on megalomania and other hormonally secreted drugs.
We see the image of Israel attacking Iran but I do not think we clearly see the implications of it and how it will change our…

Random Thoughts on Elitism in Capitalist Democracies
I have noticed with more than passing interest that blue collar
workers in the industrial democracies are currently being made the
scapegoats for the current financial and economic crisis. In Greece,
they have actually mobilized the army to go after striking truck
drivers. Obama has not called out the national guard as of yet to
assault the American lumpenproletariat,…

Deflation Threats Are Best Contrarian Indicator
The amount of deflation rhetoric in the mainstream media has been continuing to surge this week. Yesterday there was an article in the Wall Street Journal entitled, "Defending Yourself Against Deflation" and on Monday Paul Krugman wrote an editorial in the New York Times entitled, "Why Is Deflation Bad?". We decided to do a simple Google News archive search to see when previous spikes in media chatter about the topic of deflation have…

The Man with the Bullhorn is a Lying Sack of Shit.
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
Well… I have to say it sometime. I didn’t want to say it because the next thing you know, someone will ask me why I let Jeff Rense link me or some other crap about something that isn't real and which I knowingly appreciate. I was astounded when Michael Rivero stopped printing my work and didn’t answer my emails but I never said anything bad about Michael. I just said I didn’t…

Wholesale Direct Metals today. Spot price for gold was at $1,186 oz. - silver at $18.38 oz.

He quoted me a price, $1,240.50 oz. and $20.19 oz. for the silver. Good price! Attempted to place my usual monthly order (2 - 1 oz.gold eagles and…

has been “lost,” an expert at the Aspen Environment Forum declared
Wednesday, but there's still a way to win the war to reduce carbon
emissions.
Jonathan Foley, director of the Institute on the
Environment at the University of Minnesota, said leaders on climate
change need to concentrate on changing behavior in ways that appeal to
people — and also happen to reduce carbon…

WASHINGTON (AP) — You have the right to remain silent, but only if you tell the police that you're remaining silent.
You have a right to a lawyer — before, during and after questioning, even though the police don't have to tell you exactly when the lawyer can be with you. If you can't afford a lawyer, one will be provided to
you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you,
which, by the way, are only good for the…
