A Brazen New World Order

The game is up for the "Fourth Estate." The Internet continuously calls out the news media of television, radio and newspapers, discrediting the old media on near hourly basis. The cable news audience is slipping away nearly ten times faster than the newspaper audience is going extinct.

Unfortunately, most people can't seem to let go of their televisions and still fall under the influence of fear-driven propaganda that fomented the election of unscrupulous, sociopathic politicians beholden to their own interests and indentured to billionaire patrons.

Most billionaires of today are not the founders that created the brilliant financial engines of their wealth, but the flaccid offspring raised by nannies with a sense of entitlement unthinkable to the nobility of the middle ages that rose to their ivory towers through the brutality of hand-to-hand combat with swords and shields.

Skip forward to present day, the media, including the Internet that engages in criticism of the billionaires has become background noise. Public shaming of corruption has crept into normality of the masses. Everyone is sick and tired of hearing about it. Everyone is avoiding the noise like a terminal pain spot on a map to avoid. There is nothing to be dome about it. Everything attempted so far has ended with dispersing crowds, wandering off to their jobs or the nearest McDonald's.

Nobody cares. They only want to live comfortably and fulfill their biological need for food, shelter, sex, children and distraction. Rarely do a few emerge that wish to compete for the top of the mountain, but they will attempt to gather to themselves as many minions as possible under the guise of serving them all with the spoils of their accomplishments. In the end these politicians and media pundits are exposed for wanting of their own self-interests, such as a throne for themselves in an independent state, or status above their own class, ultimately to the exclusion of their followers.

The Billionaires will drain and hoard the money and resources, but will find when they open their front doors to go grocery shopping that there is nothing for them outside but a vast wasteland of starvation. They will be trapped in their castles among their piles of money and gold, having no way to rid themselves of what has become the new chaff.

Critical Election Period

It's absolutely important that you do not ignore this year's mid-term election. Republicans are cutting off support for veterans, the jobless and poor children. They call this "tough love" but it's really genocide. If Republicans win they will send troops to war with Iran, Syria, Russia in Ukraine and Crimea, and perhaps even North Korea and Cuba.

Don't allow the Tea Party, Libertarians or Republicans back into the House and the Senate. They will hand your leash and property over to Wall Street.
Most importantly, there are also certain democrats who support agendas that are highly damaging to the 99% of Americans, so be extra-vigilant when choosing your candidate.

• Reign-in NSA Spying on American Citizens.

Slip-Sliding Awayeee...

Last month there was a report about a surge in factory orders ahead of what was assumed to be rapid growth in the economy. Reuters reported an increase in 4th quarter growth and apparently retailers, anticipating further growth loaded up their inventory. A misleading Bloomberg headline (12/05/2013) read "Economy in U.S. Grows at 3.6% Rate on Bigger Inventories" but the meat of the story was about a possible slowdown by years end because "unsold merchandise piled up at the fastest rate since 1998."

The economy was being measured by factory orders. It seems the traders were paying attention to the wholesale transactions and ignoring retail numbers. For whatever reason, Wall Street was avoiding the looming shadow of consumer sentiment.

Now it seems Bloomberg's prediction has come to fruition. The LA Times reports the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are dropping because factory orders are down significantly. Inventories are full. Where are the customers? Many more customers are going to the food banks because their unemployment benefits and food stamps were cut.

Russia Today (RT), A Russian news agency with an odd obsession for America, is a news source with no apparent "skin in the game" here in the U.S. RT seems to focus on what the American main-stream corporate media avoids in order to curry favor to its financiers.

RT posted two stories explaining the aggravating factors obvious to us working class folks down on the "line level." Most food stamp payments issued to working Americans for first time - report and Silent misery: Actual US unemployment 37.2%, record number of households on food stamps in 2013.

It seems plainly obvious that customers aren't magical visitors from another universe with lots of money to spend, but supply-side economists appear to have detached from the ideal image of the consumer, the bare naked facts that the majority of consumers are working class, and they are not paid well enough to spend money to stimulate the economy. Consequently, inventory fills up and factory orders go down.

Since McDonald's and Walmart are notorious for having their payroll subsidized by the very food stamps that are getting cut, they face employees with the obvious question: Is it more profitable to simply be unemployed?
