We have our own "taxes" here too.

Denninger pointed out an important observation regarding the recent plunder of savings accounts via "taxes" in Cyprus. Here, in the good old USA, we had our Supreme court justices transform some unconstitutional mandate into something they called a "tax". And now, Obamacare is here to stay.   California and New York also have a few ideas about "taxes".  Thieves all around.

Back to Serious Things.

If you want an inside look at what the modern pack of thieves do, when they're not being watched, read this article.

While some of the Cypriot politicians and various bureaucratic European scum argued over who to rob and how much to take, the rest of them hung around in hallways playing games on their mobile phones.  These are the folks who believe themselves to be our betters. They are the same rotten lot currently roaming the halls in DC. They lack wisdom, they lack intelligence, and they lack any sense of morality.

Time to chose: are you to be free or are you to be a slave?

Bury your face in some mobile app, watch American Idol, denounce your neighbor....that is the way of the slave.

Refuse them.

Live.

Chatter on the Radio

While I was driving home and listening to talk radio today, I expected to hear reporting about Cyprus.  Instead, I heard some nonsense about the History channel and their Bible show casting an actor to play Satan, who apparently looked like Obama. So on various news websites, there are all these pictures of some guy who looks like a cross between emperor Palpatine and Obama. These pictures are associated with a recurring question: "Why does Satan look like Obama"?

Looking back, there were other curious pictures of this modern day lord of the flies. So rather than what's being asked above, I want to know - why does Obama look like Satan?

Manipulated Markets

With this weekend's news of deposit money confiscation in Cyprus, as soon as the trade market opened, silver and other precious metals spiked. Within a short time, you can see the effects of market manipulation by the banks. Yes, the same folks who raided their depositor's accounts this weekend.

Watch the green line.  More volatility to come...

Some are saying this confiscation was justified because much of the money held in banks in Cyprus was ill-gotten and belonging to Russian oligarchs. I guess it is OK then to shoot into a crowd of people, so that one of your bullets hits a street thief. Others say this speculation is nonsense, because the Russian oligarchs moved most of their money into Switzerland;  who knows.   I don't see how anyone can honestly justify the act of physically going into others' bank accounts and stealing their money.

Of course, this is precisely what our treasury department is doing by printing trillions of dollars.  The only reason we don't see the effects as drastically as the Cypriots just experienced, is because the Europeans finance wizards are even more deranged than ours.

Bank Holiday, Euro style.

This is a wild weekend for those living along the waters of the Mediterranean. On Friday night, some shady Eurozone "officials" began looting deposit accounts of all those holding their money in Cyprus banks. They locked the doors and banned electronic money transfers.  At first ATM cards wouldn't work at all, and when some stores were able to initiate the use of ATM cards, it was only after a 6.75-10 percent theft was applied to each transaction.  Fearing a run on banks, these officials declared that the banks would remain closed, through this weekend and until Tuesday. Now it seems, that they are to remain closed this Tuesday, as well.

According to the latest polls soliciting opinions of those residing in Cyprus, most of the island inhabitants are more upset at the fact that small deposits - those amounting to less than 100k euros, have to be "taxed". They don't mind the taxes being applied to the larger depositors.

Well folks, looks like we have a working model for looting the rest of that pseudocontinent, and the other continents too. Steal from everyone, and drum up class warfare rhetoric.  Come to think of it, this theft is already well on its way here.  It just hasn't yet gotten so blatant, as it did in Cyprus this weekend.

I wonder when Washington DC will declare an American bank holiday?

"Tax"

In the island nation of Cyprus, the politicians decided that the fair way of raising some money, was to close the banks until Tuesday, not allow any electronic transfers, and then apply a "tax" penalty to all account holders. Those who have over 100,000 euros saved in their accounts, will have 10% of their savings confiscated. Those who own less than 100,000 euros, will have only 6.75% of their savings stolen. They call it a tax, you can call it whatever you want.

If there is anyone, anyone on that fucked up semi-continent called Europe who has any sense left, they would do everything they can to buy a gun and load up on bullets. Things will get very bloody messy, very very soon.

When you look at the picture above, you probably paid most attention to the fact that one holding the bag of money is being robbed by the one holding the gun. There is something in that picture that deserves equal, and maybe even more, attention. There is only one person in this picture with a gun.  That's how this gun grab that our own poles are now busy pushing forward, eventually works out.  It is the only possible outcome between two groups, when you disarm one while arming the other.  Just keep telling yourself that it is for the children...

Yeah, and the DHS really needed billions of hollow point bullets because they were on sale....

Future Democratic Party Character.

"The coalitions that the left built up to consolidate its rule are being hijacked and used by the Brotherhood as the building blocks of their rule instead."

The modern Democratic party member  is a big government socialist who tries to micromanage every aspect of your life.  It is that elitist snob who thinks they are better than you and plans to create their perfect world by turning you, the Bible thumping and gun clinging yokels, into unquestioning progressive drones - their mirror images.  They will decide what car you'll be allowed to drive, what you may eat and drink, what you may read, what you may say, and ultimately what you may think.   

This insufferable Marxist drone, being turned out en masse by our ministry of misinformation - the public school system,  will soon become eclipsed by the another breed of thought controlling micro-manager.  This future Democrat will be the jihadist lunatic who wants to rape your sons and daughters and cut off your head, to build his perfect world.   Why will the Democratic party transform into an even uglier beast? Because their current drones display peace signs, walk about in a stuporous daze, and don't reproduce. Their replacements will are sharpening knives, making bombs, and turning out a dozen kids per female. 

Yup, things can get much worse when a child molesting Menendez gets replaced by a child torturing, paranoid, and delusional Abdul Mohamed Al Wacko.  Do you recall the crowd of Arabs that swarmed around and raped Lora Logan in the Egyptian square? That is what the future Democratic party convention will look like.
