Re: Message 17699371

Thanks for the rare treat of having you two back-and-forthing from HK to KP(?) with nary an "ugly American" in sight. Let me crash the party. Please.

Here's a new and talented artist you might want to get to know:

To put it politely, you can go to norahjones.com

and screw RIAA. It's a good thing:

Have you heard about the artist rebellion going on in the U.S.A.?

Don Henley, Cheryl Crowe, lots of other artists tired of being indentured servants of rapacious labels. Developing...... as Matt Drudge likes to tease........

Re: Starbucks Iced coffee

One of my favorite local coffee shops here in Bend, OR has a sign in their front window. "FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRINK STARBUCKS".

Jay, you are a traitor to Selva and the wonderful vendor of some of the world's best coffees in Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java. Why you support a fascist in Seattle is beyond my comprehension.

Re: who has been lied to, conned, and now transformed into a financial refugee,

You bought the Starbucks, after all.... Think about the stupidity of consumers allowing deceitful hucksters to control their minds via propaganda machines like the Ad Council.

But don't feel alone. Everyone is being deceived by the corporate fascists:

Re: I intend to decrease USD, increase CAN dollar,

You are slow-witted. This was done a couple of month ago by Senator Peter Fitzgerald (R. Illinois), a lawyer who serves "honorably" on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. He moved about USD 20 MM out of his country's assets and into Canadian assets. While waving the flag. Up your ass and mine.

Re: <<I think central banks are too big a guerilla factor in this, so individual investors can't go against their constant, persistent intervention>>

The obscene PPT intervention today is like the "crazy aunt in the attic". I've brought up the "Through the Looking Glass" absurdity and melodrama of their desperation on other threads and only the cognoscenti admit it in PMs. This market stinks. It's a contrivance that makes Verdi's "Rigoletto" look like sane public policy.

Re: … while there are not many reasons to think that an attack bigger than Sept 11 will succeed if launched,

You are a fool to think that. Bush can and will do so if he sees the least opportunity to pull it off. He's in desperate straits as far as his elective mandate. However, as is perfectly clear, he dismisses democracy as a nuisance.

gregpalast.com

Bush will go beyond his twinkie moves on St. Valentine's Day:
cnn.com

and blow away a few thousand more expendibles if it serves his purposes. A major "terrorist" attack in Washington would be extremely beneficial to Bush and the fascists. They could instantly declare martial law and give up on the present charade. And it would instantly squelch the damn nuisance about his Harken Oil insider trade scandal.

Re: <<By the way, there does not seem to be any crisis mindset among any of the people I've talked to in the last 40 odd hours>>

I have a couple siblings like that. They don't recall they lived through the Viet Nam War.

Ms. Hertz is awesome. Smart, honest, a democrat. We need more like her. She's gotten her taste of tear gas recently in Genoa. She's a couple decades late in that experience. Compared to me.

The face of fascism is showing its ugly heart. The world needs more honest and intelligent democrats like Noreena Hertz. We don't need more fascists like King George to ruin our world.
