MEXICAN AMERICAN LEGAL DEFENSE EDUCATION FUND (M.A.L.D.E.F), AND La RAZA ARE COMMUNIST ORGANIZATIONS ALLOWED TO RUN UN SCATHED WITHIN THE UNITED STATES.
These two organizations represent primarily mexicans but if the money is in it, they will represent other latins as well.  These two organizations are evil and anti American and will/would do anything possible to run the white European out of the United States.  They are in control of several sectors of American government.  The Bush administration endorsed these two organizations just as Obama has condoned the white hating black panthers.
Racist rhetoric? You could say that, as it is my opinion as derived from statements of American mexicans in government.

Deported for drugs, illegal sues rancher


 

by Jerry Seper (Contact)


One of the 16 illegal immigrants allowed by a federal court to sue an Arizona rancher for stopping them at gunpoint after they sneaked across the U.S.-Mexico border is a convicted felon deported from this country after a 1993 arrest by U.S. authorities on drug charges, court records show.


Gerardo Gonzalez, described in a lawsuit brought by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) as a 38-year-old Mexican citizen, was convicted in September 1993 for possession of a controlled substance for sale and ordered deported to his home country.


Gonzalez, whose illegal re-entry after removal under U.S. law would be another felony, is among five women and 11 men detained by Roger Barnett, owner of the Cross Rail Ranch near Douglas, Ariz.


The trial against Mr. Barnett on charges of civil rights violations began last week before U.S. District Court Judge John M. Roll in Tucson and is expected to conclude Friday.


Asked about Gonzalez, MALDEF spokeswoman Laura Rodriguez in Los Angeles said Thursday night that a gag order had been issued in the case and she could not comment.

TWO M.A.L.D.E.F. MOTIONS DENIED BY THE JUDGE


MALDEF had sought Jan. 6 to preclude questioning, testimony or evidence regarding Gonzalez´s drug conviction and his removal from the U.S., saying it was “irrelevant to the factual and legal issues at hand and extremely prejudicial.”


Attorney Victor A. Rodriquez also sought to exclude at trial the numerous photographs and a videotape depicting vandalism and the transportation of illegal drugs through the Barnetts´ ranch.  He said the photos and video did not involve any of the plaintiffs in this case.


On Jan. 8, Judge Roll denied both motions.


The lawsuit seeks $32 million for civil rights violations, the infliction of emotional distress and other accusations – $1 million actual damages and $1 million punitive damages for each of the illegal immigrants.


Also named are Mr. Barnett’s wife, Barbara, his brother, Donald, and Larry Dever, the sheriff in Cochise County, Ariz., where the Barnetts live.  The trial is based on a March 7, 2004, incident in which Mr. Barnett approached a group of illegal immigrants while carrying a gun and accompanied by his dog (on his personally owned ranch land).

PRIVATE LAND-OWNER FED-UP WITH TRESPASSERS


The lawsuit said the Barnetts “engaged in a private campaign and have conspired with each other and others to ‘hunt’ and detain against their will, and at gunpoint, Latino migrants or presumed migrants such as plaintiffs.”


It also said Mr. Barnett committed assault and battery, falsely arrested and imprisoned the 16 illegal immigrants, acted negligently, inflicted emotional distress and “engaged in a conspiracy to deprive plaintiffs of their civil rights.”


But in a statement of facts filed with the court, Mr. Barnett’s attorney, David T. Hardy, said his client’s 22,000-acre ranch is frequently crossed (trespassing) by illegal immigrants and drug smugglers, and that Mr. Barnett was checking for damages when his dog started barking and ran off into the desert.  He said Mr. Barnett followed the dog and came across a large group of people “apparently trying to hide.”


“Since drug smugglers are frequently armed, I drew my handgun,” Mr. Barnett said in an April 18, 2007, deposition.  “I holstered it after assuring myself they were not armed.  I then called Border Patrol on my cell phone, and my wife, Barbara, on my radio, and waited until Border Patrol arrived and took them into custody.”


U.S. DHS BORDER PATROL VERIFIED “REPEAT OFFENDERS” IN GROUP, INCLUDING A FELON PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED


A March 2007 deposition of Border Patrol agent Manuel Rodriquez found that after agents ran a records check of those detained on the Barnett ranch, other members of the party had made prior attempts at illegal entry.


Mrs. Barnett said during an April 2007 deposition that her husband would not have seen the 16 illegal immigrants had it not been for the dog.


“If the dog hadn’t gotten out and started barking, we would have never known they were there,” she said.


In a 2002 interview with The Washington Times, Mr. Barnett, now 64, said he first started to notice tracks and trash on his ranch in 1998, and learned later that his property had become a major route for illegal immigrants headed out of Mexico and for northbound drug smugglers.


The ranch sits in what Cochise County, Ariz., law enforcement authorities call “the avenue of choice” for illegal immigration.


“Thousands of aliens have crossed my property,” Mr. Barnett said during the interview.  “There are so many that I can tell you that at times it looks like a slow-motion invasion.  Literally, I feel like the guy with his finger in the dike, and I just don´t think I can hold back the flood.”


He said intruders on his ranch tore up water pumps, killed calves, destroyed fences and gates, stole trucks and broke into his home.  Some of his cattle have died from ingesting the plastic bottles left behind by the immigrants, he said, adding that he installed a faucet on an 8,000-gallon water tank so the immigrants would stop damaging the tank to get water.

Gerald Celente

In 2009 we’re going to see the worst economic collapse ever, the ‘Greatest Depression’, says Gerald Celente, U.S. trend forecaster. He believes it’s going to be very violent in the U.S., including there being a tax revolt.RT: The fragile U.S. economy has been met with bank bailouts and stimulus plans. So what’s to come in 2009? Joining me now to answer that question is Gerald Celente, founder and director of the Trends Research Institute. Thank you for joining me.

 

Gerald Celente: My pleasure.

RT: How would you define the economic trend that you have forecasted for 2009?

G.C.: We’re going to see the economic collapse the likes of which the world has never seen before. It’s not only in the United States; it’s going global. At the end of 2008 we saw Christmas retail sales:  women’s apparel down 23%; home furnishings and electronics off 27%; luxury items down 35%. These are Depression Era collapses. We saw major bankruptcies, such as retailers Circuit City and Linens and Things. One bankruptcy after another. Then we saw store closings. Starbucks, Home D&D Power and down the line.

The question becomes who is going to take all of the vacant retail space? Who is going to rent it? The answer is – nobody. Now we look at the financial collapse in 2008, we saw the Merrill Lynch mob go under the bed and the Lehman boys went bankrupt. You saw bond companies, brokerage firms, and banks go belly up. Who is going to rent all the vacant commercial business space that they used to occupy? The answer is – nobody. The commercial real estate collapse that’s going to happen in 2009 is going to dwarf the residential real estate collapse.

RT:  You use the Great Depression as an analogy, as a comparison. During the Great Depression unemployment was 25%. Now it has increased, it’s I think over 7.2. Is that number going to get much, much bigger?

G.C.: We have to look at the real number. There are two sets of books that the government keeps. When they measure up unemployment they don’t add in the people who are no longer looking for jobs because they have become discouraged since they cannot find employment after looking so long. And they don’t include part-time workers. When you put that number into it, the number is 13.7%. And that’s a government number. And this is just beginning. And again, current events form future trends.

What did we see? We saw in one day some 61,000 jobs evaporate off the map. You’re going to see Great Depression numbers. Because, as I mentioned, with this commercial real estate collapse, all of these retail stores closing, like Starbucks and Macy’s, you go down the line. You look not only at people who work for these places that no longer have jobs, but how about all the supportive industries – the advertising, the manufacturers, the products. They’re going to be laying off people as well. We’re going to see Great Depression numbers. In that effect, this is going to be worse than the Great Depression.

RT: What are we going to see happening to the society, to people’s day-to-day lives in terms of how they treat one another, how they behave, crime?

G.C.: When I say it’s going to be worse than the Great Depression, we call it the Greatest Depression. By the way, to be using 1930s models to get the U.S. out of this is really stupid. Back then when we first crashed most people didn’t have homes. There was no such thing as home equity loan. And back then, people didn’t have credit cards. The consumer wasn’t 14 trillion dollars in debt. We had a manufacturing base that built the world out of the Great Depression following World War Two. We no longer have that.

Now people are at the edge.  They’re stressed out. Look, the Americans are the most depressed nation on the world already. They take more antidepressant drugs than anybody, plus the other kinds of drugs that they are taking. You’re going to see crime levels in America that are going to rival the third world. Welcome Mexico City. You’re going to start seeing people being kidnapped in this country like they do in other underdeveloped nations. So it’s going to be very violent in America.  

RT: You’re not exaggerating?

G.C.: I’m not exaggerating, the facts are there. I have a saying: when people lose everything and they have nothing to lose, they lose it. You’re going to see people saying, off with their heads. There’s going to be another revolution in this country.

RT: When will this revolution that you have forecasted in your Trends journal happen and what will ignite it?

G.C.: It’s going to be a tax revolt. We’re going to start seeing a tax revolt in the United States. People are one job away from losing everything. We’re seeing more and more closures, people are being laid off. People are stretched to the limits. And what do they do in New York State? Some  130 new taxes are being proposed, they’re raising sales taxes. There’s going to be a tax revolt in this country from property taxes first and school taxes second. That’s what we’re going to see start to happen.

RT: Do you feel people are not hopeful that Obama will make a difference?

G.C.: People are hopeful, they are desperate and they are fearful. And they’ll hang on to anything. Let’s look at the facts. A man of change, who did he bring into Washington? You know they say by their deeds you shall know them. Let’s look at his Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, former Robert Rubin from the Clinton administration, the former president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Change? How about Larry Summers, the former Clinton Secretary of Treasury?  I mean, I’ve been around a long time. I never remember a newly elected president bringing in basically the national security team from the last administration who happen to be from another party.

RT: Do you not think Obama’s different in any way?

G.C.: By their deeds you shall know them! If I bring in a baseball hitter that strikes out every time and I want him to play in the World Series is he going to hit the ball over the fence? They brought in Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner. Look at the crew. Look who they are. They’re strike out artists, every one of them. The only thing that they know how to do is not to get their finger nails dirty.
 
RT: There was a sentence in your report, the Trends Journal, that really caught my attention. You wrote: On 9/11, those who listened to the authorities and returned to their offices went down with the towers. So are you saying that Americans should not be listening to the officials who are saying the Stimulus Plans are going to make everything better? Is that the analogy?

G.C.: Read my lips. No new taxes. I didn’t have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski.
I smoked but I didn’t inhale. Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al-Qaeda. Why would anybody believe these people?

RT:  So what are Americans supposed to do if they’re not supposed to trust their leaders?
 
G.C.:  Personally, I buy gold. And I’ve been talking about gold since the Trends Journal 2001. We peg the bottom and we said it would start going up at 275. Number two, you don’t spend a dime you don’t need to spend.

RT: What would be the good jobs to benefit from in this year?

G.C.: Anything having to do with health. Anything. It’s going to be a growth industry. And fortunately a lot of them are going to pay a lot of money in that field because a lot of that is going to be care for the elderly. And the other thing really is anything having to do with conservation engineers, anything that’s going to prove technologically sound and smart to save money and to make money.  

RT: What about geopolitics, what trends are we going to see in terms of the relationships between the United States and the rest of the world?

G.C.: Well the rest of the world is very hopeful, using the word ‘hope’, with the Obama administration. And again, we’re going to have to see what transpires, but so far, and again, by their deeds you shall know them.

Obama, when he first started to run, he was going to be out of Iraq. As soon as he became president he was going to start bringing soldiers home. Now they won’t be out for 16 months and now their reports say they’re going to bring upwards of 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan. He was also talking about preventive strikes in Pakistan. So it really doesn’t look like it’s going to be much of a smoothing of geopolitical relations.

The one factor we’re looking at, at a time that could only be the worst time for it to happen, is what’s going on in the Middle East, in the Israel-Gaza war. Israel, as they said, they were trying to do as the reports have come out, if they attack Iran at any level, it will begin World War Three. Because if this war spreads beyond Gaza, it’s going to inflame the Middle East. It can cause an oil crisis as we saw in 1973, that’s what ended the Arab-Israeli war when they embargoed oil going into the U.S. That’s our major concern. We’re also seeing, and we’re going to wonder, if Obama continues with putting the so-called missile defense shield in Poland and in Czech Republic in Eastern Europe and if they keep pushing more and more into Georgia. If that keeps happening we’re going to see a reignition of the Cold War.

RT: You have been trend casting since 1980, more than two decades. How do you compile your information and why do you believe you’ve been so spot-on most of the time?

G.C.: Current events form future trends. You can see what’s going on. A great scholar said, “In today already walks tomorrow.” So we say current events form future trends. But when people look at the trends, they colour them or shade them with their own ideology, their own beliefs. It’s what they want, what they hope for, what they wish for.

I’m a political atheist.  I look at things for the way they are, not the way I want them to be. I don’t colour them or try to change them because of an ideology. The other major factor that we do differently at Trends Research Institute than anywhere else is we look at over 300 different categories on a global basis. So we’re looking at economics, we’re looking at politics, we’re looking at changes in the family, we’re looking at geopolitics. We’re making connections between different fields continually.  

RT: How can America get out of the situation?

G.C.: All you have to do is to look back to the 1990s when America entered into a recession. We had 7.2 unemployment rate in 1993. What got the U.S. out of the 1990s recession was something called the ‘internet revolution’ that had a productive capacity. Products were invented, designed, manufactured, marketed and serviced. So you’re asking about new jobs, ask about alternative energies. Anything that’s going to advance the U.S. into the 21st century in an intelligent way. That’s where the job opportunities are going to be.
 
RT: Gerald Celente, founder of the Trends Research Institute, thank you very much for taking time to speak with us.

G.C.: My pleasure.

Obama & Bush have broke the Back of America

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 2:14 am

The Arizona Sentinel

Over the past 40 years the Democrat and Republican Socialist have managed to undo what tens of thousands of men and women fought and died to protect.  Even from the early days of American history, there has been a select group of people wanting to undo the freedoms that most of Americans want to preserve.  The problem is that over the past 40 years we have become the minority.  We have become the so called silent majority, we keep quite, we do our jobs, and run our business’s,  while the tide is pulling the sands out from under us.

The bush , Obama Presidency will go down in history as the two administrations that put the lid on the Constitution and buried it in the back yard.  The debt that bush gave us , added to the debt that Obama is about to give us will be the end of the American Dream.

In excess of 20 Trillion Dollars!!!!!!!

The only way to survive whats coming will be to go to work for the government.  I’m not sure where they will  get the money to pay you,. Oh, I forgot, Bernanke ,Obama and Geitner will just print it. Its obvious that bush , who grew government over 30% . Will be followed by Obama who with the help of Rohm Emanual will grow government to levels that will be unimaginable. 

Yesterday, the CEO for J.C. Penny’s was being interviewed on CNBC. He said that he expects over 100 thousand retail sector workers will be laid off  per month for the foreseeable future.  What he fails to recognize is that his Corporation is buying products from all around the globe, because of cheap labor.  And Americans are sick of spending money that is benefiting foreign countries, instead of Americans. His Corporation has contributed to its own demise.  Obama will not fix this. He and the Democrats owe the Unions and the U.S.( I should say World)Chamber of Commerce their offices.  

Today the Dow hit 7500 and crude was down to $35.00.   Americans you are being ripped off,,, $35.00 dollar crude should be $1.35 at the pump or less.  Driving is off 7%. another 7% will cause billions of gallons of crude to be in storage,. Mr. Chavez is screaming bloody murder, cause Americans have stopped driving.  It must suck to be Chavez.   The dollar by some economist is actually worth 3cents one year ago it was a whopping 4cents. Our economy if the government does not get out of the way will become similar to the economies of third world countries,…  My view is that is exactly what the elites in Washington want.  There will be two classes of people , the very very rich, and the poor.  Many people especially African Americans believe that MLK was their savior.  In short order, they better find another savior, because they are about to right back where they were at the beginning of the last century. As for us whities , we’re just flat out of luck. We have no MLK.

I am convinced that I am going to live long enough to see America destroyed. If your reading this and you currently live in Europe ,Asia, Japan and your thinking that living in America would be better than where you are,. You had better hurry, cause its about over here.

After Obama signs this so called stimulus bill . Every American will owe 247 thousand dollars of the national debt,.. If your planning on coming here , bring lots of cash.

What should states do with the stimulus money?  They should send it back.  The strings that will be attached will destroy the sovereignty of every state that takes the money.

So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania.

These 20 States need to give themselves a name,.. Example,:  The United Confederation of Sovereign States of America.  It should should establish its self as a working group with no centralized authority.  Its first resolution should be the Immediate and permanent separation from any authority,agency,group located within the District of Columbia. It should draft a Constitution and begin immediately to mint currency.  I suggest we use the Ron Paul Dollar as a guide.

The only solution to the problems created by the Federal or Central government will be for the states to sever their relationship with the District of Columbia.  You will notice that Texas is not mentioned above,. That is because they have never given up their sovereignty.  Why do you think bush went back there to live. I strongly suggest that if you want your state and your country to survive, that you contact , Rep Judy Burges at jburges@azleg.gov  and give her your support.

Now that Arizona finally has a Governor, maybe we can start the ball rolling.  There is a rumor out there that Obama wants the military to swear an allegiance to him, if that’s true,. We had all better take this dissolution seriously.

Political Hypocrisy

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 6:46 pm

The Arizona Sentinel

 

Today , the U.S. House Banking Committee , chaired by Balarny Franko.  Should show the world the hypocrisy that is going on in our Nations Capitol. While the committee supeoned the top CEO bankers in America.  To throw rocks at these CEO’s .  They have forgotten, a fundamental problem , that not only Washington has but this committee and its senior members of this committee, IE, Balarny Franko, and Maxine Watters are at the top of the list of responsible parties for the problems of the  country and indeed economies around the world. 

These two socialist , Frank and Watters, created legislation that started the mortgage fraud and problems that our economy is facing.  Its beyond me as to why these bankers, allowed these two idiots to attempt to throw all of the blame for our problems on them.  Barney Frank and Maxine Watters should be impeached,  and Chris Dodd should be next in line.

Jobs.

Obama is running around America, burning up Jet Fuel.  In an attempt to convince Americans that his stimulus plan, will work.   Well It will NOT.  In previous writings I have produce a plan that would revive the economy.  Today Im going to add two more elements that would go along ways to solve this situation.

First,.  Not only should Obama bring home all the troops from around the world , . He should deploy them on the border between Mexico and Canada., He should station them in the International Terminals and Ports, and prevent any illegal aliens from entering the country. He should install ankle bracelets on all foreign travelers entering this country for the next 4 years.  And create a system to monitor those arrivals and make certain they leave at the end of their 10 days. 

It makes no sense to allow the borders to be open, to illegals , that once they get here they suck up natural resources, water, air, oil , gas, etc etc. In addition to health care, education, etc etc . Its time to get serious regarding national security. If you want to restore confidence to the country, restore its secruity.

Secondly. He should immediately call in all the senior leadership of all Unions , UAW,Teamsters, etc. to the White House.  He should tell them flat out , that they are going to take a back seat to every issue about to be discussed,.. In other words they will be sent to the back of the bus.

Then Obama should call in all the remaining senior leadership personnel of all former manufacturing industries in the United States.  Examples of those industries,.. Tool and Die, Textile, Plastic Molding Manuf,. Electronics  so on and so on.

He should tell them , there is going to be a major switch in the Tax Code.  America is going to over night switch to the Consumption tax. He should instruct those industries to restart their former industries that have been sent out of the country, and immediately return all equipment, tooling back to the United States.  If they do not do this , there will be an immediate 100% tariff on all imports.  This will apply to every product that arrives at our shores, except crude oil.  The economy would instantly begin to turn.  Small business’s would be scrambling for start up capital , and there are trillions of dollars of private capital out there to loan.  If Obama is not going to use the current tax code to turn this around then he should get rid of the current code, and go to the consumption tax policy.  If this creates a trade war,,, so be it, lettem eat cake.  America first, its that simple, these stupid trade agreements should all be thrown out the window.

Now ,. Obama must be made to under stand that banks are important,.. However this emphasis on a so called global economy is flawed.  Here is the point, each country around the world should create its own economy,  trade yes, but not be dependent on some country around the world for survival.  We set ourselves up for failure by following this ideology.   The other point is this,  If the American Economy is strong internally, that does two things, it sets an example for nations around the world, plus it motivates them to be internally strong.  

Why does American elites not favor that philosophy.  Because they want power and greed.  That is exactly why we are where we are.

The hearings going on today , are a dog and pony show,. There will be no constructive results coming out of these meeting.  However , to the thinking American, knowing where all this started ,Frank,Watters,DODD  intiated this problem. Maybe this will be the first step to getting rid of them. Im hoping that there are millions of voters watching these hearings today.

Watching Balarny Frank sit up there in the Chairman’s chair, looked like he had a corn cob stuck up his butt,. How this clown has managed to stick around all these years is mind blowing.

The Tarp funds that bush , paulson, frank,dodd, gave to the banks with no strings, is interesting,.  Many of these banks did not ask for Tarp funds in the first place,.. So for congress to haul them in and throw rocks by people that live in a glass house is a bit disingenuius.

Will any of the above happen , No.   So all of this babble that is going on in Washington will accomplish nothing .

Ive said it before and here it is again,.  To fix this, America, keep doing what your doing, do not spend, do not fill up your tank , buy only necessities,. And most of all get your money out of these major banks,. Use only community banks,. Keep it local. Pull your money out of 401Ks before you loose it all.  Some I know have already lost half of their value. Its gonna get Uglier.  New York and Washington will not save this economy. Rural America will.

Sec of Treasury, First Time at Bat.

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 7:21 pm

The Arizona Sentinel

This morning Treasury Sec Geitner laid out his rescue plan. In my view the economy will not react favorable to his plan as presented.  Let me point out the 4 points of the plan.

First ; They are gong to create a web site that will allow for the public to see where the dollars are going.  www.financialstability.gov. for full disclosure.  Banks will have to go thru a massive internal stress test, balance sheet review, to determine if they are viable and qualified for the influx of taxpayer, borrowed, funds to be used for lending to small business, credit worthy borrowers and so on. With a emphasis on private capital.  My suspicion is that they the Sec of Treasury, will provide guarantees, to those private investors.

Second : They are going to form Public Private Partnerships.  The problem here is that no one knows how toprice these bad loans or toxic assets as they are referred to . The sub prime,no doc,stated loans or liar loans must be tended to. The justice department has a lot of work todo,. These millions of bad loans and the 19 million unoccupied homes must be tended to by getting rid of them. Period.  This particular part of the Geitner plan is fails to do this. All he is attempting to do is soften or slow down the eventually bottom.  He is attempting to address the problems that these loans have caused economies around the world.  My suspicion is that the Treasury will provide guarantees for those private dollars used to buy up these toxic assets . No way I would go near any of these overvalued assets.  They are dead weight on the economy.

Third: Expanding the working relationship with the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Providing up to a trillion dollars , of borrowed money, “From WHO?”.  To go into the secondary market to buy asset backed consumer and small business scrutinized loans. Which is where most of the congestion is in the system.  ,,, These loans should be made by private capital,,,, CD,s Savings , etc or from SBA loans.

Forth :  He is proposing a relief plan for the housing and mortgage foreclosure problem.  BAD<BAD plan,. Meddling with the principal of these toxic loans by forbearance or forgiving amounts would lower the confidence of Americans even further than it is today.  There is no way the government can price these notes, there is no market for them,no one wants to buy them.  They must go thru the auction process or simply be destroyed.

As I have written before , just like in the 80′s when farmers were told to borrow to buy more land than they needed , which resulted in foreclosures and the corporate farms took over.  These mortgages will have to go thru the auction process.  Wall Street today poo pooed the plan. The market dropped 300 points since the speech. Reality has set in. The Federal Government is frantic over what is coming. The affect world wide by American fraud has put all Americans at risk.

Bottom line , they are going to ultimately cut,slash and burn. Until these 19 million unocupied homes are dealt with, the economy will continue to decline. They will ultimately force the banks  to absorb those assets thru the tax code. If that makes the banks insolvent , so be it. And move on.

Last night President Obama , indicated that Sec Geitner’s plan would hit it out of the park.  Not quite , he hit the ball , but its slowly rolling back toward the pitcher.

GM sets the Example for Governments

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 6:37 pm
The Arizona Sentinel

Today’s announcement by General Motors sets the example for the U.S. Government , Every State , and Every County and Every City, Town and Township. And here is how I got there. General Motors Vice Chairman, Bob Lutz, announced he would be retiring at the end of 2009. Bob Lutz was the savior of Gem’s unit design,. However, like a good soldier, he recognizes that his salary would be saved if he resigns. General Motors making further economic moves, announced it would be reducing its white collar jobs from 73,000 to 63,000 or 14% of its white collar work force. General Motors recognizing that if it is going to remain a institution it must make drastic and dramatic cuts in its operation.

So Arizona , Phoenix, Navajo County and all governments around the country,. Make a note,. If your going to remain a institution, you better pay attention. Because Taxpayers have had it up to our inseams. If General Motors can cut 14% plus out of their budgets,. There is no reason , you can’t cut 30-50% out of yours. This country, is on the tip of a pinnacle. The current 10.7 trillion debt, plus the bush screw up add other 10 plus Trillion dollars in guarantees, then add this 1.3 trillion dollars of more borrowed money from china. We are tipping the scale the wrong direction.

Currently the numbers of Americans opposed to this additional debt are at 54-58 % depending on which poll you look at.

The bottom line here is , the business’s , corporations of America , pay attention to the General Motors example. We’ve a long way to go and no time to get there. The adjustment or correction we are facing is going to hurt. However, we will come out of this. I know , I’ve been through two of these. One of the issues that the auto industry will eventually come to is that they to will be reducing the retail pricing of their units,and closing of dealerships there are to many. The UAW will have to get out of the way. Example,.. I have several friends in the home construction business here and in Oklahoma. One of those recently told me that on a particular high end home recently completed but not sold , is going thru the foreclosure process. The appraisal one year ago on this particular unit was 50% higher than the one just completed. In other words, this unit has lost one half 1/2 of its value. Reality has set in .

While I’m mentioning appraisers.. I can tell you that one factor in our mess , goes directly to the appraisers,… I know first hand, that they would call the mortgage broker, or the title company and ask for the numbers on the contract,.. Go do a drive by and collect a check. At every step in the housing industry , there was fraud , and incompetence. But that is gonna get fixed.

My hats off to Rick Wagner and Bob Lutz at GM. When I heard the news this morning, I tipped my hat to them. There are 19,000 workers being laid off everyday in America. Americans are going to have to recognize that they are not to good to make beds, clean urinals, clean houses, flip burgers, and so on. Tough Love is in order here,. Illegal aliens will have to be removed from all states. Americans are going either wake up or find them selves checking dumpsters for food. Our education system has failed America,.. The Fed Education Department is a failure and must be terminated. Education must be returned to the states,.. The policy of tenor must be terminated. America’s taxpayers have been forced to throw billions of dollars to a failed system. And the result , the cost of a higher education is out of reach for millions of qualified  American students. Until that problem is fixed, millions of H1B visas will be issued to foreign workers, with the math and science skills and that American kids do not possess. Our kids sitting around playing videos games, wont cut it.

The UAW will concede or GM will be forced to leave the country to survive.

Are you still looking for change?

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 9:11 pm

Well history is repeating itself.  Obama is out flying around the country, spending 10′s of thousands of dollars , attempting to sell a so called stimulus plan.  We saw bush fly around spending millions trying to sell his flawed plan to privatize Social Security. So who were the economist, that were advising that deal.  Today Obama is in Elkhart Indiana the RV Coach capitol of the world,.. Undoubtedly a devastated market due to the melt down of the economy. I listened to part of his speech, and all I heard was , how much borrowed money  the government is going to give them.

Adding to the 10.7 trillion dollar debt by borrowing an additional 1.3 Trillion is just crazy.  Obama admitted the other day that he is not a trained economist. Good for him.  But the advise that he is listening to apparently have agendas that either he is not aware of or is party to. You decide.   But here is the problem with the stimulus package and its attempt to fix the economy,. Its really simple,… The economy over the past 8-12 years has been fraudulently propped up by the mortgage industry. And that has collapsed.  So any attempt to return our country to that level of prosperity  with another flawed economy with borrowed money will only fail again. The correction must be allowed to take place.

Not what you know but who you know.

Last week I had the misfortune of watching for the second time ,.  The Senior Enforcement officer  of the SEC , being drilled by congress.  The first time I saw her, Linda Thomsen, testify,, I had to ask myself,. how in the world did this woman get this job.  Then last week, during her testimony , I kept waiting for one of the members to flat out fire her or at a minimum demand her resignation. She reminded me of the dumb anwsers that were given by that incopetant AG Robertoooo Gonzalezzzz. Listening to those two, makes my hair hurt.    Well today , the world is a better place because Linda Thomsen is toast.  She has been replace by Mary Shapiro,,,, lets keep our fingers crossed.

One thing that keeps popping up with all these folks on the east coast is , the Club.  If Obama is going to succeed he is going to have to get out of the box. He needs to be listening to the country, not agency and department bureaucratic heads,.. Example,.  In the stimulus plan there is 700 million dollars dedicated to get this ,  Wildlife Management.  I can just see it now,,.. First they bring back the wolves , that are causing all kinds of problems in the west , and are now being seen in the mid west.  Next these idiots will be wanting to put them in city parks.  And as for foreign policy, he should run and hide from Kissinger. 

We are a county , that is being managed by some very stupid people.  Due to voters, wanting a rock star to lead them around by the ring in their nose.

To sum up ,  a false economy, propped up by borrowed money to maintain a lie,. Will only prolong the inevitable.   Tomorrow Geitner will spill the beans on his bank plan.  In my view , if he is as smart as they say he is,. He will let the bad banks fail.  Let the FDIC do its job. And let those bad bankers, flip burgers at McDonalds.  Stop rewarding failure. 

This morning I heard former Treasury Sectretary Allen Greenspans say the following.” Even if he had recognized the housing bubble for what it was , there would not have been much he could have done about it,”   Greenspan your an idiot,… All you had to do was raise the interest rates,.. It was that simple.  Even now , what we need is for the fed to raise interest rates.   If  you dont have job, if you dont have 20-25% to put down , you do not need to be in a home,.. The issue of surplus homes and qualified borrowers are two separate elements  of the problem.  Our nations economy can not be based on housing,. It must be production and manufacturing, until that returns will will be in limbo.

What we are witnessing the results of eight years of Republican failure, in motion.

Who Caused this Mess?

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 3:09 am

The Arizona Sentinel

Have you ever asked your self , ” Who Caused the mess in the first place?”  Well if your in your 20′s or 30′s, bless your heart , your probably thinking those nasty bankers on Wall Street.  If your in your 40′s or 50′s , (Sucks to be you , your gonna have to pay for all this mess)”. Your probably thinking Wall Street those pesky brokers and those mortgage brokers and bankers caused all this.  But if your in your 60′s,and 70′s you know exactly who caused all this. If your in your 80′s,90′s and up you don’t really give a damn.

But lets talk about who really did cause all this. Every issue you can think of that has gone south has started in that direction due to the Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate and every President since Roosevelt. Has played a starting roll in where we are today.

Now I ask you , with a track record like that , does anyone expect the same, institutions that started this mess to get us out of this mess?

Here is my question,. The Democrats and a good portion of Republicans got all giggly over this new fella in the White House,, when he said In Chicago that ’Change was coming to America”. What I saw was a Baptist preacher.

Like the little ole lady said in the commercial a few years back. “Where’s the beef” ?

Well where is the beef Barry?  So far , you have almost to the letter followed in the foot steps of that fella bush.  Wanting to kill E-Verify, you’ll probably hold that out as a stick before you give any of my money to the states.  I do hope you do that,. States don’t need my money. If your going give anybody my money , give mine back to me,. I know exactly what to do with it. Buy a airplane ticket and get the hell out a here.   JK!!

Then the word is , your fool Holder is going after ammo,.  Don’t think for a minute , we don’t know how to make and load a cap and ball.  Your gonna lose that one.  When you try to turn 250 million Americans into criminals you better be on a plane back to Africa.

And your plan for amnesty. Guess what bubba, we have already stopped spending because of these corporations that want cheap labor,. If you think Americans have stopped spending now, try amnesty again.  There wont be enough tax revenue to crank up the APU on AF ONE.

I dont really blame you for wanting to waste a bunch of taxpayer dollars,. Shucks bush spent trillions, on a phony war, open borders, illegal prosecutions, foreign aid, creating agencies, and exploding government.  He only wasted what 6.5 trillion.  Your only wanting to spend 1.3. Trillion seems fair to me……

Todays paper had a article on John Kyl and John McCain, two of my favorite buffoons in the Senate,.. Both of them were going on about the stimulus . and that there should be more towards tax breaks, Knock Knock , anybody remember mccain voting against tax breaks, I do . And Kyl, talking like he knows how to fix the housing problem.  Its really embarrassing to tell people I live in Arizona.  I know I could leave,.. OOOOOOOOklahoma where the , sorry got carried away there.

So where does that leave little ole you and I.  Well lets assume that this 1.3 trillion dollars of borrowed money,, “oh they’re not sure whose gonna loan it to them yet” . But lets assume that some country with a leadership dumber than ours makes that bet.  YOU And every citizen you know will then owe,  ready  $247,000.00 , that right  TWO HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.   If memory serves me, I owed 16,000 when bush took office. In eight years and three weeks , and two presidents,  I now owe more than I paid for my house, only 7 years ago.  So let me see if I understand this.  Since I now owe more than my house is worth. Does that mean that the Federal Government or maybe China Owns my house?? I’m thinking I should call the geniuses up at the county supervisors office and give them a change of address for this years tax bill.  Things are looking up.  Wonder what kind of sub-prime,no doc, stated income,special ARM deal I’m gonna get to refinance my countries loan.  You watch before Barry’s term is up , some democrat will come up this a scheme similar to what Ive just mentioned.

I wonder if my stimulus check will be enough to by a airplane ticket?

Trivia Question:  What does Bernard Madoff and Barry Sotero have in common???

Lets call it like it is.

Border vs Employment it matters.

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 5:40 pm

This morning the government released the jobs figures for 08. And they are not unexpected, First the job losses for Dec were lower than expected, however that number will be revised in Jan or Feb. Total known losses in Dec 524 thousand jobs, the unemployment rate rose to 7.2 %, that is the highest since Jan 1993. How is that significant? Because it is just a few years after Ronald Reagan, the great communicator, gave amnesty to 3 million plus illegal aliens. Revisions for Oct and Nov of 08 job losses were increased by 154 thousand over what was previously reported. Bringing the total job losses for 2008 = 2.6 million people. 1.9 million of those losses took place in just the last 4 months.
Now there are more than eleven(11) million Americans out of work . That is the highest number since June of 1983. Which was after the Fiasco of Jimmy Carter and the flood of illegals started coming across our borders.  What is significant about the 11 million number today, Well here it is folks, remember, the bubble heads in the media and the bought and paid for politicians keep telling you that there are 12 million illegal aliens here in the United States, DUH. We have 11 million unemployed, and 12 million that shouldn’t be here in the first place, And if you accept the blather that comes from the likes of McCain,Kennedy,Pelosi,Flake,Kyl,Durbin and more, they (the illegals) are only coming here to work. 
Is it just me or are bells and sirens going off in your head too.
 
Now here’s the deal. Over the next year, unemployment will double, I do not believe that the jobs programs that Barry is spewing will do much. Because the contractors and corporations that do those jobs will hire illegals before they hire Americans. Why , think about it. They will do what ever it takes to use ” the undocumented worker” . Obama you are going to waste a trillion dollars if you are not careful. And you will send this economy into a tail spin that will finish off the bush plan for America.
 
The only way you will revive this country and put it back on track , is thru the tax code. You must return previously paid taxes by American citizens directly to them. Government caused this problem, it forced us to payfor it thru taxes, we want our money back.  I personally will not spend another dime on any product, other than food,and utilities,and fuel to get there and back, until government gets its head out of its _ _ _.
Dozens of my readers have indicated that they are doing the same thing,
CNBC, asked the question this morning how low will oil go.  Im predicting that oil will fall below 30 and will not be surprised to see, 25 dollar per barrel oil. Due to the lack of demand world wide. That will be a good thing however, for the ag sector,and transportation sector, it may be the only way to keep the shelves full, providing Americans can pay for the groceries.
 
The bill that made its way thru the senate yesterday, gives a bankruptcy judge the ability to restructure sub prime, defaulted loans. The more these clowns in Washington meddle the worse, the long term, unintended consequence become. The details of this bill are goofy. Schummer and Durbin. They continue to deal with symptoms rather than fix the causes.
 
Oh well, many of you recognize that we will have to go thru the next 4 years of hell before we see any daylight.  Bottom line here, even though thousands of illegals are headed south, Thousands more are still coming across that border.  That border must be closed. Drugs,disease,anchor babies,jobs,crime,health care, education, fuel, jobs, time, border cost, and more, all of these issues are killing us simply because we (Americans) do not get the National Security we pay for and expect.
 
Ramos and Copean, dont give up,..
