Washington is prepared to defend this extortionist petrodollar recycling system to the end, even if it means nuclear war.
This one line lifted from a Mike Whitney post on Counterpunch today commenting on the fall in oil prices so quietly arranged by the US and Saudi to destroy Russia and bring down Syria and Iran too.
A stupid plan on the surface and disaster at best with the possible destruction of the world as a final outcome. An outcome we are apparently ready to live with.
The real bitchy part of this scheme is that the best result we can hope for is a crashing of all the economies of the world. The EU already in it's death throes will not survive this game and most likely nobody else will either.
Most oil producers need oil in the 80's or 90's to break even. The US fracking companies need more than that and are leveraged with derivatives to the hilt. Derivatives that when they go bad will be paid by us as the last budget bill put those instruments under the protection of the FDIC making us citizens responsible for that debt. (roughly 300 trillion dollars worth) an amount that will bring us to the bottom.
WHY BABY WHY? my brain has been screaming at me. Why would they do something this stupid, POW, the answer hit me right between the eyes. The POWERS THAT BE, have come to realize that American Hegemony is a dream that cannot be reached and therefore they are willing to risk a nuclear war (they think they can win) . Just in case you think like them consider this. If Russia fired no nukes in response to a US launch (which would probably be massive) the world would still come to an end. 4000 nukes are way more than enough to turn out all the lights.
I wish I could think of one positive thing to say on closing , but nothing comes to mind. The end may be insight.

THE EXCEPTIONAL NATION THAT HAS BECOME UNEXCEPTIONAL
READ THIS FIRST
If you like me have been scratching your head trying to figure out just what the hell our government is up too, you have been reluctant to call it for what it is , dangerous war mongering that has a final goal of a confrontation with
Russia as an end game.
Using Ukraine as a crutch to stir the fire, they tried to paint Putin into a box and bring about a confrontation with him. Outfoxed on every front the US had to have another plan. Surrounded by a bunch of warmongering staff none of which has any military experience and keep the president isolated from anybody with another opinion (like Hagel) they put plans into play they have either not thought out or just not smart enough to carry out their end game.
So when Ukraine didn't work they hatched another plan. In league with the Saudi's they lowered oil prices hoping to put Russia in a financial bind, through this and sanctions on them.. They claim all kinds of damage to the Russian economy and there probably has been some but the end result is something they hadn't planned on. Putin has cut deals with other countries that make our messing around not count for much/(A side note here, oil producers hedge their oil bets in the derivative market to insulate them from a drop in price)
Putin put together the Bric nations to sidestep American intervention. They have agreed to trade in their own currencies making the dollar irrelevant. He has made new gas deals with Germany and Turkey subverting US attempts to control the EU gas market. In fact at every turn Putin has outfoxed us with our every move.
The problem is the American citizen has found it easy to find Putin as a very bad man (in olden days he might have been) but in this go around the bad guy label is on us.
I am asking you to stop and consider our plight if Putin had been dumb enough to take the bait. Here we sit a country that has not won a conflict since WW2 . Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and trillions of dollars down the drain and none of these contest did we win. Yet the brains around Obama think think we can win a conflict with Russia including a first strike nuclear option that any thinking man knows is pure folly.
We are told we are the exceptional nation , but there are times in the past when we might have said we were that but that was a long long time ago. In my lifetime my thinking has changed on that fact. I once believed we were not war mongers we were in a controlled standoff with the Soviets in a cold war. Both sides had enough operational nukes to blow the world away at the push of a single button..We both still do, the difference being we use to say we wouldn't launch first but now we think we have a first strike capability. They use a missile defense system that at best is not 100% effective to believe we can shoot first. To believe that you have to be willing to accept a level of losses probably in the millions at least. In reality I believe that a first strike will bring about the end of people on the earth.. How many of the 4000 nukes Russian will make it through is anybodies guess and I am not willing to find out.. How about you. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHEAP OIL A BLESSING OR THE FINAL STRAW
Us peasants are rejoicing over cheap gasoline and going about our merry way thinking now I know where the money for Christmas is going to come from..Very true, those with much of a commute have a lot more bucks in our pocket. Seldom does it cross their minds that this fall in oil is a bad thing but the truth is it could be.
Oil companies buy derivatives to protect against falling prices , so they buy derivatives to guarantee the future price of their oil so they really don't care if the price of oil falls. They are protected , so the question is who eats the losses... In this case the big six banks and they hold enough of these contracts to force them into default and if that should happen the whole system goes down.
HERE'S THE STORY

UP SCOPE-TARGET 2016
Yeah I know , it's to early to start thinking about the next president, wrong, it's not to early to start.. You can easily see the republicans lining up to make a run for it and of course Hillary is already getting measured for her cape. So it's not to early for a liberal to stand up and say no I don't want her as president, since in my opinion Bill Clinton was the worst president of my 77 years. Would Hillary be any different , I don't think so, she is associated with the same advisers that Bill used and we know what that got us. So it's time to start considering some one else. Several have started showing interest and either of the two I have in mind individually would be a better choice, together they would be dynamite . Yeah I mean Sanders and Warren.
Sanders is starting to work a little harder towards that goal and here's his 12 point plan to right a fallen country. RIGHT HERE
It's probably a stretch to believe either Sanders or Warren can win but any other option is unthinkable. All republicans and most other democrats will keep us on the same road we are currently on. We know that don't work for the common man and someone other than the current frontrunners need to be encouraged. The problem Warren and Sanders both have is they do not take corporate money. Can they compete without that money. Off the top of my head I would think not. Then I think of Howard Dean's grass roots organizing for Obama that was a 50 state strategy brought record numbers of liberals to the polls. They might possibly (if they brought their wallets with them) could pull it off.
Quite possibly I have been smoking the wrong weed, and and overthrow of the money men is an impossible task. But until we try we won't know.. Look at this , this way, If you back them , yet still loose what have you lost , a few bucks perhaps and a nasty outlook for the country , but yet it is possible.. Remember Hillary was the one in 2008 and she lost to an unknown Obama.. Warren and Sanders are better known than Obama , yet he won. It could happen again unless you pull your blanket over your head and don't get involved..

GOOGLE IT GOD DAMN IT! OR ARMOR UP FOR WAR!
Far too many people believe that Russia is the aggressor in the Ukraine struggle needs to crank up their google machine and look at the evidence that discounts . All UN-doctored evidence points at US involvement in the overflow of a duly elected government and put in place a proudly Nazi regime. They immediately began to cleanse the country of people deemed not worthy to live in the Ukraine.
Mass graves, buildings boarded up building then torched with people inside being prevented from escaping by armed thugs. Day after day horror stories come out of the country on the monstrous acts of these thugs.
Due to the information being aired on MSM a majority of the US public believe that this is all Russia's fault when the exact opposite is true. We saw day after day pictures claiming too portray the trail of a missile streaking toward MH 17 an event that did not happen. As usual our allies help in the distribution of propaganda pointing a finger Russia as the culprit.
While other nations not under US domination showed evidence that MH17 was shot down by a pair of Ukraine planes. Pictuhttp://www.4thmedia.org/2014/11/all-out-war-in-ukraine-natos-final-offensive/res of pieces of the plane have become available that clearly show bullet holes that don't come from any missile.
Meantime most of the US still believes that Russia started this. They did not. Don't believe me , that's why there is the :GOOGLE MACHINE" USE IT GOD DAMN IT AND QUIT BEING TAKEN IN BY GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA.

FRACKING STUPID
Somebody needs to get a grip on these folks. Fracking companies have been pumping used fracking fluid into clean water aquifers contaminating them so they can't be used for drinking or farming. The State troops say it must have been a paper work error but the size of the screw up indicates to me at least that somebody was on the take and allowed this to happen. 3 billion gallons of fracking fluid have been injected into these aquifers and that amount of water couldn't be a mistake. Something terribly wrong with this. The story is HERE
WHAT ON EARTH HAVE WE DONE?
have just lived through the midterm elections, where according to popular opinion that the people were angry with politicians and threw the bums out and elected a solid republican congress.
So it's time to see exactly what we have to look forward to the next couple years.
Here's a list of the priorities of the people:
1. Access to lower cost student loans--80% support.
1. Authorize Keystone Pipeline.
2. Repeal ACA ("Obamacare")
3. Pass the "Hire More Heroes" (veterans) Act.
4. Pass Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement with Asia.
5. Lower corporate taxes.
6. Thwarting Obama on Immigration Executive Action.
7. Reign in the EPA and roll back environmental regulations.
It is plain to see that the newly elcected have an agenda that puts none of the electorates choices on the to do list. The item that appears on both lists is the Keystone pipeline and both sides are wrong on that choice.
A close look at the republican agenda if enacted will destroy what little is left of the middle class. The TPP alone will place the country at the whim of the world corporations and that means lower wages, benefits. Repealing Obamacare would remove health care from a wide rage of people who for the first time have health care. Lowering corporate taxes which are currently the lowest in history. Rolling back EPA regulations is exactly the wrong move. Immigration that Obama put in place by executive action they want to remove allowing families to be split up by deporting parents from children.
The hot button items on the republican , Removing Obamacare and Immigration change will be disrupting talk on items on the peoples list.
Of course they always have and are talking now of impeachment. Those three things will lock the wheels of congress up and nothing will be done exactly like the last six years. More of the same is the order of the day.
So it's time to see exactly what we have to look forward to the next couple years.
Here's a list of the priorities of the people:
1. Access to lower cost student loans--80% support.
2. Increase spending on infrastructure--75%
3. Raising the minimum wage--65%
4. Emergency funding for fighting Ebola in Africa--60%
5. Addressing climate change/reducing carbon emissions--59%
6. Building Keystone Pipeline--54%
Here's the republican to do list:
1. Authorize Keystone Pipeline.
2. Repeal ACA ("Obamacare")
3. Pass the "Hire More Heroes" (veterans) Act.
4. Pass Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement with Asia.
