"No - this is the end" ...hmmm, is that the reason for your screen-name choice ? I remember reading George Orwells 1984 in high school. Technology is an amazing thing....it's really -- here & now; isn't it ? The State of Illinois is virtually bankrupt. They've offloaded their Toll Road & Skyway ... Indiana is doing the same thing. Strategic Port facilities, Water, Energy...all in the name of "free trade". Hey... here's a "0%" Auto Loan - shouldn't you being driving a new SUV ? How about a no money down, 125% LTV cash out Home Equity Loan...so you can "move on up" the Housing Bubble Ladder...and if you need to refurnish that New McMansion -- here's a "no payments 'till 2008" consumer finance loan to fill it with Chinese Electronics and Mexian made furniture. Load Up -- America ... the Fed will give you all the cheap credit and fiat funny money you want. ...as long as you continue to not pay attention to the exponential explosion in deficits and debt -- and buy into the masterfull talking points and illusion of wealth that the NWO is creating...all will be fine. You are right about -- "the chip." The crisis in New Orleans was a glimpse into the future. Everyone ran to Big-Daddy for help...and in just 3 days -- a complete and total societal breakdown occured. When will we see the next one, the bigger one ? Will it be a dirty nuke unleashed in Atlanta ? No Natural Gas for Minneapolis in the midst of a -40 degree blizzard. Will it be when China decides to dump dollars openly on the Global Markets as an "Economic Weapon of Mass Destruction" in retaliation to US Military & Political threats ? Will it be when we invade Iran...and they block the straits of Hormuz and Investment Bankers ramp Oil to $150 overnight -- cratering the US Economy ? Today America is the sole global superpower militarially....but, ecomically -- we've set ourselves up for destruction at the hands of our enemies....as our leaders continue to sell out Americans and American interests at breakneck speed The human implant "chip" .... the techology is here and former Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge is the CEO. ...scary stuff ..but, it's here and now...and you have to wonder what Tom Ridge knows -- that we don't ? No wonder we see an "every man for himself" attitude among the Investor Class...that's tuned out reality, as they too - line their pockets. Better set up that offshore account and grab an overseas condo while you still can... Auckland -- here I come...last one out -- please turn off the lights.
