NOT EASY TO DRINK MY CUP OF COFFEE THIS AFTERNOON
the second week in November in Nebraska!
The white Shasta Daisy ... has been through it! It was blooming during the early October snow storm ... and is still hanging in there... a testament to strength. I have personally said for decades that my time and energy are the greatest gifts that have been given to me and how I chose to focus them will determine my unfolding in this lifetime. Consciously focusing your attention is different that just allowing your awareness to be pulled from one thing to another.
This afternoon the temperatures were in the 60's and I had fed my fish, birds and the entertaining squirrels - sat down with a cup of coffee and watched a jet above spraying a fresh chem trail. Someone in that jet still has a job - dumping crap out of the sky over me.At times I sometimes wish I was as asleep as most the general public of Americans who NEVER look up into the sky - totally unaware of activity in the skies - spraying activities overseen by the PowersThatBe - those rich elite that hold no respect for life.
Back in 2002, my father in his 80's was aware of those jets above and their spraying in tic-tack-toe patterns.
1975 CANADA - U.S. WEATHER MODIFICATION TREATY (pdf)
So, I'm sitting outside at my patio table - a freshly brewed cup of coffee and was intending a quiet time of contemplation upon the beauty of the day.Having micro particles of aluminum, barium, etc. being dropped from jets above me today as I was sitting at my patio table with my cup of coffee is an irritation I've experienced for years now.
If years upon years have passed and Americans are so asleep they can't stop jets from dumping crap on them - whether its for weather modification, over-the-horizon radar or whatever they are spraying that crap in the air for - HOW IN THE HECK WILL AMERICANS STOP OUR COUNTRY'S CURRENT PILLAGE AND LOOTING IN THE MANNER OF ARGENTINA?
Americans can't even exert a wee bit of energy and put the word FLUORIDE in their computer search engines to figure out that its but a chemical WASTE product. Wake up - why does your toothpaste tube say not to swallow the toothpaste.

Tech-Ticker | China's Premier Warns Obama to Get America's Deficit to an "Appropriate Size"
China's Premier Warns Obama to Get America's Deficit to an "Appropriate Size"Posted Nov 09, 2009 01:32pm EST by Heesun Wee in Investing, Newsmakers, Commodities, Recession, Banking
Related: FXI, TBT, TLT, PGJ, UDN, ^DJI, ^GSPC
As President Barack Obama prepares to depart Thursday for his first Asia trip, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao is urging the U.S. to keep its deficit to an "appropriate size," a clear message to the leader of the world's largest debtor nation from its largest creditor.
China is the largest holder of U.S. government debt and has invested an estimated 70% of its more than $2 trillion stockpile of foreign-exchange reserves (the world's largest) in dollar assets, Reuters reports. Further dollar weakness, brought on by enormous U.S. deficit spending and near-zero interest rates, would erode the value of China's huge U.S. holdings, as Henry and Aaron discuss in the accompanying clip.
"Most importantly, we hope the United States will keep an appropriate size to its deficit so that there will be basic stability in the exchange rate, and that is conducive to stability and the recovery of the global economy," Wen Jiabao said over the weekend at a news conference in Egypt.
In contrast, the best strategy for the U.S. may be an inflationary stance. We need stimulus spending to jump start our economy and reduce the real value of our record budget deficit of $1.42 trillion in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. An improved U.S. economy also would mean more Americans buying up Chinese-made goods.
Collision course with China? But as historian Niall Ferguson discussed in a recent sitdown with Aaron at Buttonwood, there's danger the U.S. may be on a collision course with the Asian giant. China, notably, is buying up hard assets with its cash including natural resources and oil from regions including Africa. As any history textbook will tell you, many political conflicts arise over disputes about natural resources.
Regardless of whether or not China chooses to unpeg its reminbi from the dollar, longer term the U.S. must come to terms with its deficit structure. Meanwhile, the dollar further weakened against the euro Monday as G-20 finance ministers offered no assurances they would take steps to strengthen the greenback.
Paterson: New York State Will Be Broke Before Christmas...
November 09, 2009, 7:34PM
As he seeks concessions from state workers to balance his first budget, Gov.-elect Chris Christie is examining the possibility of declaring a financial emergency in the state, according to an official familiar with his plans.Such a declaration — invoking the same law as if New Jersey were hit by a natural disaster — could give Christie broad powers, such as suspending rules governing state worker layoffs. With many state workers due to receive two raises in the next fiscal year and a no-layoff pledge in place through December 2010, Christie’s transition team expects to tackle the issue before he takes office Jan. 19, two of his advisers said today.
The advisers, who requested anonymity because the discussions are preliminary, said it is too early to determine whether a state of emergency would be an attractive proposition or a last resort in the face of a continuing recession.
Christie, a Republican who defeated Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine last week, will face an estimated $8 billion shortfall for the budget he must present by March. FULL STORY

Geelong, Victoria Australia | Mystery holes in two Grovedale roofs could be meteorites, says expert
November 10th, 2009One couple reported hearing a loud bang, while a neighbour also heard the crashing sound about 3.30pm.
State Emergency Service (SES) and police told Sturt Court couple Tony and May Giuffre the damage was caused by an unusual weather phenomena called a microburst.
But weather expert Lindsay Smail dismissed that claim because that weather pattern was only associated with thunderstorms, and none were present on the weekend.
The Astronomical Society of Victoria's president Perry Vlahos predicted a marble-sized piece of space junk or meteorite could have caused the damage and the evidence would be found in the area around the two houses.
"We were sitting in the lounge room and it sounded like something was coming through the rood," Mr Giuffre said.
"We both jumped up.
"When I did go outside it looked like something had fallen onto our roof and my initial thought was a wheel of a plane had come through the roof.
"Even the next door neighbour heard the bang and they came out to see what happened."
SES South Barwon controller Josh Hutton said the mystery had been put down to a microburst because a similar incident had happened in the area a couple of years ago and witnesses reported seeing mini tornadoes hit houses.
"At first we started worrying that something had come out of the sky," Mr Hutton said.
"But then we found another house in the next street with the same holes.
"We had the police involved to make sure it was all legitimate."
Lindsay Smail, of Geelong Weather Services, dismissed the weather claims, saying there were no atmospheric disturbances over the area at the weekend.
"I would guess that the weather is innocent," Mr Smail said.
"Sometimes a bit of plane falls off and because of the velocity that that junk assumes by the time it reaches the ground it can do a lot of damage, even though it may be only very small.
"Unless the authorities used a finetooth comb and worked their way around the area they might never find what it was."

Goldman Sach's Profits Come From Our Pockets: Why We Need a Tobin Tax
TruthOut.org | Shifting the Burden From Main Street to Wall Street: Why We Need a "Tobin Tax"
"Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street. Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags."
-1890 speech by Populist leader Mary Ellen Lease, thought to be the prototype for Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz
Consider these arresting facts:
- The Bank for International Settlements estimates that in 2008, annual trading in over-the-counter derivatives amounted to $743 trillion globally - more than ten times the gross domestic product of all the nations of the world combined.
- Just five super-rich Wall Street banks control 97% of the U.S. derivatives market: JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co.
- Wall Street traders compete to design computer programs that can move many trades in microseconds, allowing them to beat ordinary investors to the "buy" button and to manipulate markets for private gain.
- Goldman Sachs, the uncontested leader in this game, was reported in September to be sitting on a cool $167 billion in cash. Meanwhile, a September survey of state finances found that state governments faced a collective budget shortfall for fiscal 2010 of $168 billion - nearly the same amount.
- In 2008, Goldman Sachs paid a paltry 1% in income taxes - less than clerks at WalMart.

These banks were rescued so they could make loans, take deposits, and keep our money safe. But while that is what banks used to do, today the big Wall Street money comes from short-term speculation in currency transactions, commodities, stocks, and derivatives for the banks' own accounts.

Typical liberal elitist, demanding that the rest of us make sacrifices they are unwilling to make themselves
Full disclosure: I like meat.
I've eaten countless steaks, hamburgers, pork chops, bacon, hot dogs, chicken and fish in my life. I am what you might call a red-blooded, meat-eating American - and proud of it.
And, apparently, I'm a threat to the planet.
It's official. The global warming nutsos think that cows and pigs are significant contributors of greenhouse gases, and that meat consumption is a waste of natural resources. They believe the world would be better off if we were all vegetarians.
And they're coming after our food next.
Are you aware that among the items for discussion at next month's United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen is limiting livestock production and meat consumption?
Global climate change expert Nicholas Stern (that's Lord Stern of Brentford to us commoners) told the London Times recently that the conference would be considered successful if it leads to soaring costs for meat and other foods that generate greenhouse gases.
"Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases," said Stern. "It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."
Lord Stern is no crackpot; he's a former chief economist for the World Bank.
Maybe becoming a vegetarian is a better dietary choice. Still, I'm not going to give up eating meat based on the recommendations of some foppish English lord.
It's becoming clearer all the time that the global warming scam is just a way for the left to get the rest of to change our ways and adopt their preferred lifestyles.
Punitive taxation is their means to control our choices. If energy use becomes too expensive, they figure we'll have to use less of it. Now they want to call cows, pigs and chickens a danger to the planet and impose a tax.
The global warming zealots won't be satisfied until we're all living like Ghandi - no electricity, no cars and no food.
Recall that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed a plan that would fine livestock operations because they produce carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. The proposed fines would make beef and pork products more costly to consumers.
South Dakota's Sen. John Thune introduced a bill that would prohibit a cow tax, and while it may have seemed like a joke at the time, it's no laughing matter.
Thune was able to add an amendment to the Interior funding bill this year that would prevent the EPA from creating a livestock emissions permit system for one year.
But what happens next if the U.N. climate change delegates adopt a plan to get the planet's inhabitants to give up meat consumption - you know, to save the planet from destruction unless we all start behaving like, God help us, liberals.
U.S. News & World Report asked Thune, the sponsor of the cow tax bill, what he thought of Lord Stern's comments. "With falling beef prices, higher costs of production, and onerous cap-and-trade legislation looming, the last thing ranchers and employees of America's meat industry need right now is elitist lecturing and misinformation from Lord Stern - a reported meat eater," Thune said.
Apparently, Lord Stern is not a vegetarian himself. Typical liberal elitist, demanding that the rest of us make sacrifices they are unwilling to make themselves.
Chew on this: No president or Congress should adopt a treaty that tries to tell Americans what they should eat.

Pew Analysis Shows More Than 60 Percent of Export-Import Bank Loan Guarantees Benefited Single Company
Boeing Received Nearly $10 Billion Over Two Year PeriodWASHINGTON, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im)--the official government agency subsidizing U.S. exports of goods and services--provided nearly two-thirds of its long-term loan guarantees over the last two years to a single corporate entity, according to analysis released today by Pew's Subsidyscope project. In FY2007 and FY2008 combined, Ex-Im issued $15.3 billion in long-term loan guarantees. Of that total, almost $10 billion, or an average of 65 percent, went toward the purchase of commercial aircraft made by the Boeing Company, the world's largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined.
According to its charter, Ex-Im contributes to the employment of U.S. workers through the provision of direct loans, loan guarantees, working capital guarantees, and export credit insurance to finance and promote U.S. exports abroad. The greatest portion of Ex-Im's financial commitments, however are tied up in long-term loan guarantees, where Boeing is the largest beneficiary by far. FULL STORY

ENGLAND'S PRINCE CHARLES NEWS UPDATE
Skunk not native to Britain found on Prince Charles' Harewood End Estate
7:00am Monday 9th November 2009
PRINCE Charles might have welcomed some unusual visitors to his Herefordshire estate but few can have left their mark like his latest guest.
Workers at the Woodlands Farm estate in Harewood End had a smelly surprise after a skunk was found unharmed in a humane animal trap. It was not long before the bushy-tailed creature secreted the foul-smelling fluid it carries as a defence against predators – causing two estate workers to be sick.
“One of the gamekeepers found it in a squirrel cage and we put it in a bigger one with some straw,” said Paul Mason, who is working on the Duchy of Cornwall estate with a team of builders.
The omnivore was described as the size of a cat and, despite hissing and stamping its feet, did not lose its appetite.
“It had a ham sandwich and seemed to like it,” said Mr Mason, who lives at Madley.
The skunk was collected by the RSPCA on Tuesday and taken to a foster home.
“The animal was very frightened and dirty and has been taken to a lady who keeps ferrets and has a few skunks,” said Judith Haw, RSPCA press officer.
It is unknown how the skunk, which is not native to Britain, managed to find itself in Herefordshire. Anyone claiming it should contact on the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.
CRANBERRIES - The Healthy Round, Red Berry
Cranberries are high in vitamin C and fiber. Filled with lots of other great nutrients, and especially high in antioxidants, cranberries fight free radicals. These tart berries have been found to contain 25 to 36 percent anthocyanosides, so you'll find most supplements containing about 25 percent of these cyanide compounds as well as quercetin, tannins and health promoting alkaloids. Cranberries are useful in treating heart disease, lowering cholesterol, and in fighting bladder yeast infections. They are also useful for preventing plaque build up on teeth and gum disease. Cranberry has proven to be helpful for vision health, preventing retinopathy, in rheumatoid arthritis, emphysema, reducing inflammation, fighting breast cancer, prostate cancer and slowing the growth of some tumors.
A member of the same family as bilberry and blueberry. these small, round, red fruits are edible, but tart. They can be dried and eaten like raisins; they can be used to make cranberry juice, or cooked to make jelly.
Used for a very long time by North American Indians cranberries were made into a hardy dish called pemmican. Combining dried deer meat, cranberries and melted fat made one of the first convenience foods. The juice was for dye and cranberry poultices were used to draw poison away from wounds. Cranberry leaves can be made into a tea that helps prevent infection.
