Well we hit $8400 Dow...does that mean some nasty geopolitical event is now on deck to validate the "short 8400" call? Pakistan falling into the abyss might be a candidate for that....

Slider, if this country is taken back from the bankster- gangsters without taking up arms, without force, without pain, and without suffering, how long do you think it will be before we have to do it again? We still have, in my best guess, 5% of the population doing all of the work for the other 95%. BTW, 53.4% of all statistics are made up. I've talked to friends and family over the last year, and I'm the only one that has sent anything to my congressmen. What percentage of people do you know that are DOING something? Waking up the sleeping bear and informing it of what's going on is one thing. Getting that bear to do something is totally different. I tell people about the bills that congress is voting on and their responses are "Why would they vote for that?", "I don't think it'll pass.", "That sucks. All of our politicians suck. They shouldn't be in congress.", and there's the infamous "What can I do about it?" People are aware, they ask me questions, but won't take action. Most of the people in this nation won't know what it took to take it back. They won't care because it happened without them. I think that it will make them more apathetic and less likely to act in the future. However, if this whole calamity turns into a greater depression, 25%+ lose thier jobs, a large number of people lose thier houses, martial law is declared, attempts at confiscating weapons are made, foreign troops patrol our nation, ALL of the money is just given to banks, CEOs and politicians, hate laws are enforced, radical christians and catholics are herded into FEMA camps, a deadly strain of flu appears to be man-made, etc., etc., etc., and we manage to take this country back, it will be a lesson learned the hard way, the very hard way, but it will stick with us and will be passed on for at least one or two generations. If we're lucky, more generations down the line will read about it and learn from the past. If there is no lesson learned by the masses, there will only be us few fighting for the many in a never-ending battle. It is not my hope that the contents of my run-on sentence is what happens. I just see it as the only way for patriots to once again control this country. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
