Just like the 1930s, this unprecedented crisis has given us the opportunity to fix America and create a productive, sustainable economy for all. Let's get to work!

Invest in a public transportation infrastructure to rival that of European countries allowing us to compete!!Re-structure the public education system so funding and standards are handled at the Federal level (as in other democracies) so everyone has access to the same educational opportunities.

"The answer is socialism. Environmental, democratic socialism. Just as power naturally belongs to the masses, so does wealth! The environment is public property, and every time corporations treat it like private property, it is a crime against the planet and all life on it. The masses have the right to determine how their wealth is used, and have the right to protect their environment. The fact that people are forced to pay for clean water is a towering monument to the failure of the free market system. This is not a solution to the crisis; the real crisis is the permanent ecological damage that must not occur in the first place."

""Bankers" (the Boards, not just the CEO's) who have signed onto and accepted bailout funds from the Treasury are, right out of the block, stuffing their pockets and defiant about it when questioned about inappropriate use of taxpayer funds when it should be used for lending. They state it is for the "previous quarter" not the period in question. Well, if the last quarter was so great to allow bonuses, they do not need a bailout! Congress must step in and have a direct oversight committee to approve every transaction proposed by Treasury. Stop the treasonous pillaging now! Extend balout restrictions to ALL executives of financial institutions accepting Treasury assistance."

Our unemployment rate has been well above the national average for years.

"The first step in this change is to change the mindset - to work together, rather than 'fight,' which only perpetuates America's long tradition of having a War on This, a War on That. When we trade in the old warring world view's negative energy for persistent confidence, diligence, simplicity, clarity, optimism and care then we will have a chance of success. Check out Paul Hawken's book, 'Blessed Unrest,' for a summary of the evolution of a just organizational movement and new way of thinking here in the States, and the Transition Towns effort coming out of Totnes, England, that might allow us to power down with dignity and compassion for all. Oh, and see the documentary 'The Power of Community, How Cuba Survived Peak Oil." Somebody (sorry I don't know who but it's too good not to pass on) said ...

"I made calls to politicians before the bailout was passed. I did not approve of the bailout. Apparently, the public's voice which overwhelmingly spoke against this "armed hold-up" was ignored. I describe the bailout as a "hold-up" because it occurred without notice, it was a street robbery filmed by cSpan. How ridiculous it would be to believe the financial entrepeneurs did not know what was going on. Ponzi schemes are obvious to anyone involved in them. Passing around and re-re-selling financial instruments wrapped in hundreds of pages of legal nonsense is no defense for innocence. Most people who commit a crime are informed by the justice system representatives that claiming ignorance is no defense. Why is it that the supposedly brilliant minds get to claim ignorance of their daily buying and selling of nothing. Money is simply paper. That is all it is. Power is the real bargaining chip. As a well known Ivy League Economist told me personally, "Poor people are stupid." His favorite song lines were, "Money for nothing and your chicks for free." Congratulations to the theives.

"I'm tired of the elite and corporations taking everything we have and putting more taxes onto the responsibility of the middle class. It has to stop and now!!! infowars.com; truthalliance.com; USA now the Obamanation, Illuminati and elites are always the real winners in elections, politicians ruled behind the scenes by the powerful, gold and silver futures have been suppressed, more economic bubbles coming, stock market losses to reduce global wealth by trillions Congratulations, America. You are now officially the Obamanation. Not that you had any other realistic choices. And the only other viable alternative, McCain, was no better than Obama. He will now be forced to do as he is told under threat of exposure, and will have no independent latitude to make decisions concerning anything which the Illuminati care about. Biden will be his handler just as Cheney was, and continues to be, Caligula's handler. In fact, that's why Biden, a fervent and hardened Illuminist, was chosen as VP. The October Surprise also explains why Palin was chosen as VP for McCain. McCain and Palin were never seriously in contention due to the coming October Surprise, so this gave the Illuminists a chance to cater to the Christian Right without any worries about Palin ever becoming President in the event that McCain could no longer serve in that capacity. Once again, the naive and fawning Christian Right got all excited over being patronized in yet another false-flag overture to Christians. The Palin nomination was intended as a plug for incumbent traitors in Congress who had electorates filled with Christian voters. The idea was to energize these Christian voters so as to help these incumbents get reelected. In this manner, the evil Illuminists attempted to keep the best government officials that money could buy in office, while the government officials who were up for reelection attempted to keep their established system of embedded graft and corruption going. Apparently, despite all that has happened, the Christian Right still can't recognize a wolf in sheep's clothing, nor are they able to perceive when they are being led down a garden path. With that kind of gullible leadership, Christianity is doomed in the US. In time, we will become just like Europe, unless God intervenes with an Exodus-like series of miracles to spark a Christian revival, because that is what it will probably take to wake up our sleeping Christian leaders. We would like to rejoice with our black citizens about the election of our first black President, but we believe that this victory will be bittersweet, or perhaps even Pyrrhic in nature. Had Martin Luther King been elected, we could have rejoiced with you. But in case you hadn't noticed, Mr. King, whose thoughts and philosophy were the antithesis of those held by the Illuminati, ended up being assassinated by them, while by contrast, Mr. Obama, an elitist bootlicker who surrounds himself with upper tier Illuminist advisors like Brzezinski, Buffett, Volcker, Rubin and Anderson, and who kow-tows to the same evil Illuminist scum who are financing his Jimmy-Carter-like campaign out of obscurity, ended up being elected President of the United States. This shows you, in no uncertain terms, how corrupt the system really is. We judge people by the content of their character as Dr. King suggested, and based on Mr. Obama's campaign associations alone, we would have to conclude that his character is not a good one. His support of Fannie and Freddie in the face of their obvious bankruptcy, and his number one spot as the target of Fannie and Freddie campaign contribution largesse, puts the icing on the cake, as does his support of Mr. Odinga, whose attempted coup in Kenya has resulted in the destruction of 800 Christian churches and the murders of hundreds of Christian Kenyans, events which were totally suppressed by the fane-stream media. He is not Dr. King. In fact, he is the precise opposite of Dr. King, who preferred peace over militancy. Worse yet, we note that the current group of Illuminati are the most virulent racists of all time. They make Hitler look like a civil rights leader. What may be happening here is that these fiends are trying to associate what will be the worst economic, social and political times ever suffered by Americans, which these elitists have malevolently and intentionally orchestrated to bring America to its knees and to pave the way for world government, with a black Presidency. In one brilliant master stroke, they will take all the misery they have created to push us into a corporatist, fascist police state, and place it on the head of a black President. In addition, they will make sure that his Presidency is a disaster and that it does not succeed. Obama will be in over his head, and due to his compromised position regarding his citizenship, he will do whatever they tell him to do, and none of it will work. That is because it is not supposed to work. They want to bring you to your knees so you will bow down to the new self-proclaimed masters of the universe as the old Goldilocks Matrix is discarded and the new corporatist, fascist police state is substituted in its place. Our question is: Does Obama know this, or is he about to get the surprise of his life? Is he a patsy, or is he a player? If he is trying to be a player, we can assure him he will never be accepted by the masters of virulent racism. Note how well this association of national disaster with a black Presidency will play into the rhetoric of white supremacists. White supremacists will be in state of nirvana. Like Pavlov's dogs, the sheople are conditioned to come bleating to the voting polls on Election Day to cast their vote for reprobate A, or for reprobate B. They think they are making a choice, but for most part, in the important campaigns like President of the US and many other major state and federal elective positions, the choice has already been made for them. Pick Illuminist Skull and Bones candidate A, or pick Illuminist Skull and Bones candidate B, ala Bush against Kerry. Either way, we win. Candidate A will promote items "a" through "m" of our agenda, and candidate B will promote items "n" through "z" of our agenda. Thus, ergo, our agenda is always moving forward, no matter who gets into office. Come, come, our little sheople. Come into the voting booths and choose your poison, errrrrrr, politician. (Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah). Come, come, our little sheople. Pick the person who will slaughter you. (Baaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!) Oh, how silly of us. Did we say "slaughter?" Oh, we are so very sorry, we meant to say "water." That's right, pick the person who will water you. Please forgive us for that little Freudian slip. (Bah-ah-ah-ah-ah). The candidates will always tell you what you want to hear, and then they will do exactly as they are told by their Illuminist handlers, which is usually quite different from what was promised during campaign rhetoric. That is why there is not a dime's bit of difference between Jackasses and Dumbos. They must do as they are told, or they are sent on a trip to Dallas, or on a plane ride over Martha's Vineyard. Politicians blab away, talking about what is on their party's agenda, and then they are told what to do by those in our shadow government who run the whole agenda, which is of course divided between the two parties. We promise Mr. Obama that we will never listen to what he says, but will we watch what he does like a hawk. We will burn away all the Illuminist lies and webs of deceit which are woven around his actions to obscure and to obfuscate their true nature and purpose. We will give him a chance like anyone else and we will be his supporter if he is honest and forthright. But we will be his worst nightmare if he tries to get "cute" with the American people. We will expose what he is doing and lay it bare to the American public. If he is not being honest we will see right through it, and then tell you, our subscribers, how things really are. This is what we have done over the course of the past ten Presidential Administrations preceding Obama's coming Administration, and is what we will continue to do. Remember, Mr. Obama, we have been doing this for over 50 years and we know their agenda and how they operate far better than you do. We can also assure you that they are not telling you everything they plan to do. You could not take the shock. You might even be enraged. They will tell you what is coming on an as-needed basis. Obama will now put the finishing touches on the destruction of America which was started in earnest under the previous trilogy of traitors, or triad of trouble, which commenced with the Administration of Bohemian Bush, Sr., continued with vigor under Slick Willie Clinton, and then was nearly completed during the epically catastrophic Caligula administration, which we note is still not finished with its skullduggery, and won't be until Caligula leaves office, if ever. Could it be that Obama be booted out based on his citizenship issues, thus enraging black citizens by dispossessing them, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and leading to riots, civil unrest and martial law, which would mean that Caligula would get to stay in office until Biden took over. Perhaps it turns out that Biden, and not McCain or Obama, was the real Manchurian Candidate after all. What happens when a standing President declares martial law, the President-elect is ousted, and the Vice-President-elect takes the President-elects place? Who prevails? Bush or Biden? Either way, we lose. We note that the last thing Bush wants is to leave power and not have the ability to stop another Administration, or a people's committee, from conducting a real 911 investigation. The above are just a few of the possible scenarios, which the Illuminists could force on us in order to implement martial law and a feudal, Orwellian police state. Who knows what could happen as long as these Illuminist sociopaths are running our shadow government? Never underestimate the cleverness of these megalomaniacal, satanic trillionaires, whose intelligence is powered by supernatural forces of evil and darkness. Next comes another major war to distract us from the destruction of our economy, and to destroy our military so we have no defense against foreign troops or against both foreign and domestic mercenaries. We also note that Obama has promised a new national draft so that your children get to be cannon fodder for the fun and profit of the US military-industrial complex and so they also get to become the objects of persecution and terrorist retribution overseas as they are forced to stick their noses into everyone else's business where they do not belong. Even if they end the war in Iraq and divvy it up with big oil while retaining a mercenary force, rest assured that they will move on to the next war or escalation in Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, in the Balkans, or on the Russian border. Who knows with these maniacs? This is the end of our society as we know it. This is the Fall of the House of Usher. The prices of gold and silver futures have been suppressed to such an extent by the Illuminists within the Treasury Department that there is a stampede out of gold and silver futures, an event that could lead to default. As you all know physical gold and silver are in short supply and we are seeing higher premiums. At the same time the rigged futures market is just the opposite. All throughout history good money, gold, has driven out bad, fiat, and that is why the gold and silver futures market will either collapse because no one will play anymore, or they will default as a result of inability to deliver. Gold is a 2-edged sword. Gold and silver go up with inflation and hyperinflation and gold also goes up or holds its own in deflation in a flight to quality. We have been in the credit crisis for 15 months and the US and world economies are headed at breakneck speed into deep recession. We have stagflation, inflation and stagnation and it is going to get considerably worse as we head toward eventual deflation. Personal consumption expenditures are falling, as is GDP, which in the third quarter finally entered the minus column. We have a rigged rally in the dollar as consumption falls and government expenditures climb. Long before this is over the part of GDP consisting of personal consumption will fall from 70% to 72% to the long-term mean of 64.5% and that alone will cripple the economy. Although we see it going into the 50s as depression takes hold a few years from now. Our government and Wall Street are orchestrating a less severe recession to keep you spending and to keep you in the rigged stock market. As a result you are talked into a bailout package for banks and Wall Street. It doesn’t work and over 80% of Americans are against the package because they know what is going on. They are listening to alternative radio and reading what is on the Internet. In spite of that a purchased or compromised Congress give the corrupt Illuminists what they wanted. It must also be remembered the administration told congressmen that if we didn’t have such legislation that they’d impose Martial law. That is what corporate fascist government is all about. We are already in a severe recession. All of our government’s statistics are bogus. The bailout was for the most part for money center banks, the big financial conglomerates and transnational corporations. Those funds went to the insiders, not to smaller institutions. They were for the crime syndicate, the corrupt Illuminist mafia. The next step after the election is the monetization of money and credit and horrible hyperinflation. Soon the dollar short covering will be history. Libor has already fallen and is back in its normal place. Credit derivatives and credit default swaps has produced a demand for dollars for settlement payouts. That will soon end as well. Fifteen months ago these derivatives began to fail and that systemic failure is ongoing. It will end in the complete collapse of the dollar. This is the same barbaric horde that just sent the commodity market down almost 60%. They are now waiting to take it back up again to plunder the public once more. They bashed commodities and gold and silver because the rush for real assets had to be destroyed even though it was temporary. As a result there was a rush into physical gold and silver products, a resultant shortage developed. The elitists saw that and not wanting more physical gold in the publics’ hands the mints in Johannesburg, Canada, the US and Mexico shut down. Do you really think that was coincidence? They do not want gold and silver attractive because they are going to hyper inflate. At least for the next two to three years inflation is going to rage. Money and credit are still expanding at 12-1/2% and inflation is 12-1/2%. What deflationists do not seem to grasp is that the elitists will keep the system running because they do not want a crash until they can get a major war underway, as a distraction; another way of adding wealth, and for getting a tighter grasp on power and to further exercise population control. The question is when will the viability of America debt be questioned? Will the failure to deliver US treasuries break the market and not nonparticipation? We do not know but it is surely possible. This is why we have not for some time recommended US Treasuries, but instead Swiss franc Treasuries for those who prefer a partial cash position. It is very simple. The more debt the US government creates and the more money and credit the Fed creates the more the value of the dollar depreciates. Worse yet, the collateral being presented for the exchange of Treasuries is essentially worthless. We also believe Treasuries are being created and not being reported in order to satisfy the perceived flight to quality. Remember, these people do not tell the truth about anything and they believe as the Illuminated ones that they can do anything they please. That is why we continue to tell you to be out of US government and debt paper as well as the stock market. The only exceptions are gold, silver and oil and gas stocks. Cash out your retirement plans if you can and move them into gold and silver related assets. We can promise you two things, hyperinflation and eventual Treasury default. Why do you think on 11/15 major nations are meeting to form a new monetary unit? It will take several months. But it is about to happen. The dollar as a reserve currency and as a store of value is finished and many other currencies will follow. Remember 64.5% of world central bank reserves are in US dollars. No country is going to survive this unscathed. There will be a trigger as there always is. It probably will be an economic event or a string of events that begins the dollar collapse. There are things going on we know nothing about, but which we will soon find out about. We have another couple of bubbles coming. There is a pension bomb that is in process and the credit card bubble-bomb. Lenders wrote off about billion in bad credit card loans in the first half of 2008, and they haven’t even scratched the surface yet. Companies are laying off millions of workers and it is currently conservatively estimated that by the end of 2009 they’ll lose another billion. Currently losses are 5.5% of debt outstanding and probably will easily exceed 8%. As lenders rethink their lending rules our credit-hooked nation is rethinking their credit habits. It is about time lenders smartened up and stopped being greedy and it is about time Americans started paying for gas, food and other items with cash. You should only be using credit cards for emergencies and you should pay off your debit every month. In 2005 mortgage extractions were 5 billion, in 2007 they fell to 0 billion and the second quarter of 2008 saw .5 billion. At that rate we’ll see a 90% drop from 2005. Total loans from commercial banks grew by billion yoy to December. Of that billion was credit card debt. That means banks only lent billion to business or to individuals. These numbers show you how stressed consumers are, amid accelerating job loss, low wages and high inflation, home price deflation, the effects of illegal immigration and the losses in equity in stocks, never mind having their retirement accounts clobbered. Credit card debt is up – it has risen more in the recent 10 weeks than it has in the previous 10 months. The increase is annualized at 48.3%. American Express delinquencies on credit payments rose to 4.1% in the third quarter, up from 2.5% yoy, their pool of uncollectible loans to a high of 6.7%. If it weren’t so sad the following would be laughable. The second largest credit card merchant vendor is McDonalds. This is a sign of very serious distress. This level of credit card usage is unsustainable. All this comes as stock market losses worldwide reduced global wealth by trillion. A good part of which was in retirement accounts. This coming year government will admit to unemployment of more than 9%. That puts U6 at 14% and long-term at 17% using government figures. The duration of current unemployment is nine months or 38 weeks. That will be at least 14 months at the end of 2009. Unless unemployment benefits are expended an additional six months they’ll be lots of people in serious financial trouble. That means less consumption, which will feed recession. Incidentally, that will widen the budget deficit. Unemployed don’t pay taxes and that means less revenue. We see a 2009 budget deficit of 1.2 trillion plus, as the recession deepens. The only thing keeping the end of 2009 out of depression will be massive injections of money and credit and that will cause the dollar to fall and inflation, gold and silver to rise. With all this in the mix we see would-be newsletter writers, economists and analysts predicting already slow recovery by the end of 2009. In order to be politically acceptable they didn’t recognize recession until a few months ago, a year and one-half behind the curve. This in spite of massive welfare during the year. "

Americans are the ones that make it possible for the wealthy to accumulate massive wealth and they need to be ensured of future security through generous pensions, and social security in return.

"The problem with how we are speaking about the financial crisis is that we are looking for solutions that will bring us back to where we were before it started. We are looking for a return to stability without any systematic change. What has failed in our system is the model of infinite growth; infinite growth in the price of housing, in the availability of oil, in the supply of ever-cheaper labor, of the stock market, of speculative bubbles, of fresh water, of profits. If capitalism and growth are values we do not give up, we will not find an enduring solution to our economic crisis. It is also imperative that we eliminate significant economic inequality. We cannot begin to address society's problems if we do not first address the problem of economic inequality. As long as economic inequality exists, our schools will be unequal, our health and access to health care will be unequal, our access to infrastructure and the conditions of employment will be unequal. Crime is not a problem that we can solve with the brute force of policing, but by the gentle force of breaking down class divisions. It was necessary to elect Obama, but he only ever mentioned the middle class -- never poor or working class people. We need to push our newly elected government to enact social(ist) reform and to regulate capitalism until it no longer resembles capitalism."

" There is no reason to be stampeded into signing a bad bailout bill simply because the Bushites are cranking up the hysteria siren again. There should be an immediate freeze on mortgage foreclosures until that bag of worms can be sorted out. Since most bankruptcies are due to job losses and health care bills, those folks are more worthy of help than Wall Street conmen and gamblers. I also don’t think we should borrow the money for this bailout. I recall Donald Rumsfeld speaking on CBS News on September 10, 2001 about money wasted by the Pentagon bureaucracy. He said auditors could not track .3 trillion (with a “t”) in transactions. CBS News’ Vince Gonzales reported that the Pentagon can’t account for 25% of what it spends. That would be a good place to find the funds-- under the sofa cushions at the Pentagon. Not one penny should go for CEO compensation. "

"We need a revival of commonsense regulation. This includes both FIRE (finance, insurance, real estate) and utilities. We can help jump start an economic recovery by rebuilding our electrical grid (it's in dangerously sad condition) which just will not occur unless we re-regulate utilities. A national passenger train network would serve us well too. Coupled with investment in alternative energy research and production and perhaps we will save our nation and the planet. To fund these we need a progressive personal income tax and a higher capital gains tax rate."

"The accusation that America is addicted to oil is starting to wear thin. We do have energy and transportation issues, and if the incentives from the '70s had been left in place, we'd be a long way toward handling those issues. It's a lesson for growing the new sustainable energy economy. We don't need big government intervention but we do need long term appropriate incentives. Transportation technology seems to be moving toward logical process based on market requirements. However, we may be wasting a lot of resources in electrical generation by not focusing on sustainable base load replacement technology. Wind is not. This is not a race to get there first. It is the greatest opportunity we will have to move from special interest trickle down to a equitable economy based on declining energy costs. Possibly an imporant first step is stopping the bail out. Since time is critical, maybe anyone that can should go to Washington whenever they can between now and Christmas and carry a sign. The responsibility of government is ours. It does not belong to a political party. "

"The crisis in the economy, the environmental crisis of the world, our energy dependency, and our future for jobs and family needs are all part of one large problem, and parsing out solutions as though they were not intertwined is not going to effectively address the needs of this nation. The solutions may be parsed out, but consideration must be given to all of these issues as though they were only one issue, with all decisions being addressed as how they will affect every other part of the problem. The creation of green jobs and re-building infrastructure must be a top priority. This must not just include job creation, but must also incorporate industry regulations and incentives for the financial sector and corporations; education for people in skills at all levels; health care and protections of all insurance benefits for workers; protections for communities which may be losing jobs or homes for citizens to insure that they have job security preferences to stabilize their communities - all these must be done almost at once, and as President Obama, it is imperative that the American people understand why you are moving so quickly and what you plan to accomplish by doing so. So, sir, move and move quickly to develop the necessary programs to help the people of this nation. Do not let the hope die on the vine, but rather grow and blossom into a healthy, honorable, sustainable nation of citizens who have pride in themselves and their homeland."

""Single payer national health care for every citizen!!! Investment in solar and wind energy with tax incentives for individuals (not just businesses) that are significant enough to make conversion to green energy living affordable!! Invest in a public transportation infrastructure to rival that of European countries allowing us to compete!!Re-structure the public education system so funding and standards are handled at the Federal level (as in other democracies) so everyone has access to the same educational opportunities. A high school diploma should mean the same thing no matter where in the country it was earned. Foreclosure relief and prevention, a Green New Deal, massive stimulus to the real economy for living wage jobs, and prosecution of bankster frauds. There will be no free lunches. We have to pay down the debts we all have let accumulate. Both personal and government debt. We are the government... we all have allowed these criminals who got into our government to steal us blind. There is no easy way out of this mess, so don't look for one. We owe more than we have in assets. What we do have is our ability to rebuild this country into the productive machine it once was. But we have to do it honestly and share the profits with those who create them.

"The bailout as it seems to be shaping up is but another variation of voodoo economy at it's most venal: the victims rewarding the perps and further abnkrupting our economy. If we are to survive as a top tier country, something different must be done, like, for instance, taxing all those bonuses going to the top dogs. Or better yet, sending all those billions to homeowners about to lose their homes, small business owners who may have to close up becauser they can no longer meet payrolls, and folks who are going bankrupt trying to pay exhorbitant medical bills."

"I've worked full-time for 39 years and my retirement monies, which I faithfully saved during these working years, is nearly gone now. The bankers, wall street CEOS, and corporate heads do not need, nor do they deserve, my little pittance, earned through hard work, tears and blood, to line their fatted coffers. "

"You know, sometimes it's instructive to make a few observations and see where they take us. The following may seem too simple, or over the top, but consider: The IPCC ice core data charts, and the same as seen in Gore's Book printed, so it can be studied, show us that there have been about 6 ice age cycles in the last 650ky. We are on the up-swing of a temp/CO2 spike now, with GHGs now well out of historical norms. This begs the questions-What weather phenomenon has defeated and reversed the previous spikes, yet not immediately lowered the mean planetary temp? -which is the trigger? temp or CO2? Obviously, temp. -It is also obvious that the reversals occurred before the ice caps melted appreciably, otherwise there would be no data to harvest...Is, then, the reversal of our spike immanent, or even, overdue? -When does the ice of an ice age build up? All at once or gradually, as the temp/CO2 decreases? How is the atmosphere supplied with the moisture and energy necessary to transfer so much water to the poles as snow and ice? -What role does methane play as it is released from tundra and the oceans? -Was there massive methane release during the previous cycles? Or did the reversals act to put the methane back to sleep, so to speak, before it could compound the greenhouse effect? There were humans present during the previous cycles, -How and where did they survive the reversals? -What can the paleo-geologic record found in the magnetic striping of the mid-Atlantic ridge tell us about tectonic plate movement and possible, or sudden, volcanic warming of the oceans? -Is it possible that the mass of melt water transferred to the equatorial bulge would be sufficient to change the angular momentum of the earth enough to tweak the plates into movement? -Does USGS data show increased activity along plate boundaries that might be a "forcing of the forcings" related to shifting watermass or rising landmass? The answers to these questions are not hard to compute. The answers dictate the type and intensity of response that is called for. The answers have probably been known for some time, by some people who have the connections and means to respond. The answers demand a change to the status quo, a change from "growth and consumption" to sustainability and survival. Look at the tops of the spikes and decide if we have any more time to dick around with any energy sources that add heat or GHGs to the ecosphere. Coal and oil are out. Nukes and geo-thermal are out. NG, too, even though it's cleaner. The grid has to change. Wealth has to be used in different ways. It's a different game, and we're all in the same boat. We can have just as much fun surviving with wind and sun, as with burning and consuming---let's do it! New: Probably, one of the main characteristics of a spike is that everything is relatively normal, until it isn't. We are getting lots of clues now. The emerging scenario seems to me to be: rising temp melts land-borne ice along with seaice. Fresh water disrupts the thermo-haliene circulation of the gulf stream and if we're lucky, that's as far as it goes--an ice age cycle of normal proportions is initiated and civilization is disturbed, but maybe not destroyed. If ice melts at such a rate as to enhance the above, another scenario might unfold: Land-borne ice melt flows to the equatorial bulge (the planet is not a perfect sphere-it bulges at the equator because of centrifugal force) thus changing the mass distribution and angular momentum of the earth and putting enough pressure on the tectonic plates to start a geotectonic event that would activate the ring of fire and the mid-atlantic ridge. The resulting undersea volcanism, (not to mention the earthquakes, and worst case the popping of the Yellowstone magma dome,) would flash heat the oceans. That seems to me to be the hidden key to how and when an ice age starts, and how it gets the moisture and enough energy to move that much water back to the polar latitudes, forming the glaciers, part of which slide on down around Cincinnati, melt and recede over the next 110,000 years. Apparently the methane has been sequestered for a very long time--dinosaur time. It would be very bad for us to loose enough heat into the mix to stir up the methane. The previous most recent six ice age cycles evidently have occurred soon enough in the cycle to keep the methane down under frozen tundra and cooled ocean water. Well, so much for cool-headed chart analysis and amateur deductions and dot-connecting. Now I feel I must strip naked and run around the streets yelling this in the face of anyone who will listen...you guys with degrees can keep your clothes on, right? ta-ta. (???Doesn't anyone from the Noble committee ever visit this site???) Thanks for your response. An additional factor related to tectonics gleaned from USGS info is that land masses such as G-land, releived of the weight of the ice, tend to rise, actually float higher on the magma. And National Geog had an article, I believe, on the mechanics of the melting that is shaping up on G-land---flows of melt water form surface streams which drop through the thousands of feet of ice to the land surface, creating a layer of slush under incredible pressure. The next dot in that progression is: earth tremor, separation and departure of a largish section of ice cap which, worse case, might produce a tsunami out into the Atlantic. Or worst case, a chain reaction of tsunamis as some of the crumbling islands in the east Atlantic loose a mountain or two (PBS). A serious multi-disciplinary approach, including even rogue generalists like ourselves, seems called for. "

"Those thousands of citizens who wrote Congress to protest the bailout knew what was going on even before the revelations that banks were not really expected to use taxpayer money to lend to taxpayers (but rather to bankroll their takeovers of smaller, more vulnerable fellow-banks). The Paulson plan was obscene from the start and only became more disgusting as it concealed its purposes more carefully. There will come a point where national debt becomes so great, investors will draw back from US treasuries and the dollar will collapse. Hard to believe the greed of those who would precipitate such a fate for their country for corporate and personal gain. "

Conservatives are going to be trying hard to pull him further right, and being the man of cooperation and compromise that he is, he may well move in that direction. The past 32 years years has shown us that policies from the right and even the center are destroying the earth, destroying the people of the earth, and destroying all other species on the planet. If we want real change, we need to push our new president to the left - and we need to ensure that this new majority Congress does the same.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

"I agree with u Ms. Klein, and there's no time to sit back and wait. I have your book "shock Doctrine" and agree with your view points thur far in the book-which everyone should read. We have to let Elected President Obama know how we feel and keep our issues and concerns in the forefront. The Bush party is already pushing their transitional team on President Obama so they can keep the crime establishment going. We cannot afford to let either side discard our lives. "

"The root of our country's problems lie within the corruption of ourselves which comes from maintaining the bloated empirical military. Close down the nearly 700 bases around the world. When we say bring home the military, it should include all these hundreds of installations. "
