re: ["A few years ago you were a big supporter of the Bush invasion of Iraq and the so-called war on terror if memory serves. Have you changed your spots?"]
...yes, I have -- I was wrong about Bush.
Greenspan...kept his finger in the Dike long enough to escape...we'll see if Bush can do the same, although this Port sale to the UAE is so reckless and the talking points they're spewing out are sooooo weak -- it smells, like panic -- ie: get all the money you can, as fast as you can...because the big one is coming !

re: Message 22173158
From 1789 to the year 2000 -- it took 42 prior US Presidents and 211 years to accumulate $1.01 Trillion in government debt -- that rested solely upon the shoulders of U.S. Taxpayers.
But, it only took George W. Bush 4 years to nearly double US debt -- addding another mind-boggling $1.05 Trillion of government debt...that now rests not just upon the shoulders of U.S. Taxpayers...but, now upon the shoulders of their children...and their childrens-children.
That my friends... is both the greatest theft in the History of the World, but also the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world.
Big Oil get's billions of dollars in government subsidies, access to cheap, known assests on US Government Land...but, without any requirement to add refining capacity and end the choke-points to gouging the US consumer.
But it doesn't end with the windfall profits and government handouts to Big Oil as they soak billions of dollars per quarter away... it extends into the Military Industrial Defense Complex as well as into the administration of Billions of Tax Payer Dollars into the "sham" called the War on Terrorism in Iraq.
Iraq wasn't just about Oil money.... it was also about cash....one helluva lot of it...about $8.8 Billion Dollars... yes, that is billions - with a "B"

But... fear not !
The Bushites have assured us that deficits and debt don't matter....in fact why are you even paying attention to the debt & deficits behind the curtain.... you should be participating in the robust, inflation free economy -- and be damn thankfull for what Bush #43 has done for the American citizenry over the last 6 years !
-- you could buy 50% more house than you otherwise ever could have afforded...hell, we even let you borrow 125% of what your present house was worth... we even let you do it with bad credit and no money down -- so whatcha bitchin' about debt & deficits for ?

"Aljibury is an advisor to Amerada Hess' oil trading arm and Goldman Sachs."

...there's that name again -- "Goldman Sachs" -- the largest energy derivatives trader in the world today.
...yesterday it was Enron -- today, it's Goldman.

Like I said... "the greatest theft & transfer of wealth" in the history of the world.
We get a bankrupt social security system, spiraling deficits, debt and a flood of fiat, lost jobs & pensions -- along with the US Infrastrucure being sold piecmeal....and they get Billions.
The Port Issue is a Wake Up call... but, untill we see an economic/market shock event from either another terrorist attack, or an energy spike, derivatives crisis etc... few will pay attention for more than a few days.
