OK, so things have been interesting. Financial issues, change of location, work, and... a distinct abundance of apathy in the whole thing required me to take a significant break from my various rants. But perhaps, just perhaps, we'll give this a try again, just for kicks.
I recently became a 'believer' in Global Climate Change. That is, I came to believe the thesis that our climate is currently changing in a significant manner, and that this change, is, in fact, due to human activities increasing the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. However, this all fits neatly together with other things I have believed for quite a while, like, nuclear power should replace all other forms of power immediately to solve the 'energy crisis' as well as most of our other problems as the most efficient form of power on the planet.
Here's the jist of the "Global-Climate-Change-due-to-Human-Activity" argument, I guess
The planet earth has, as part of it's atmosphere, CO2
Various biological and geological processes on the planet create and utilize CO2
Until humans began burning vast amounts of fossil fuels during the industrial revolution, the CO2 circulated in a system much like the water system, in relative balance. Actually, it may have even been reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Even though humans produce a very very small portion of the overall CO2 released into the atmosphere, the planet's natural carbon circulation system was not designed to incorporate that amount into the balance.
As a result, there is now a net gain in overall CO2 in the atmosphere, overall.
Here's the website that convinced me that this is the case: www.skepticalscience.com
They did a pretty good job, really.
However convincing they are, though, they haven't really proposed any sort of feasable solution. I definitely would like to see people educated correctly about CO2 production and global climate change, but I don't want to see that education go hand in hand with alternative energy indoctrination.
What it comes down to, basically, is that no combination of solar power, tidal power, wind power, or any other non-carbon producing or non-nuclear-reaction utilizing source of power can even come close to satisfying global energy needs, even assuming NO growth.
Nuclear power can do it though, no problem. With new breeder reactor technology we can have an almost endless source of fuel for the reactors, and with new storing and decomissioning technology, waste is becoming less and less of a problem. New primary reactor design even makes them safer, eliminating concerns that arose from the Japan 'crisis.'
It's important to remember that it's not just a one step fossil fuel for power problem, we also use oil for almost all of our plastics. To convert to entirely bio-lipid based plastics we would have to convert giga-acres of farmland to growing hemp for the oil, and it still wouldn't come close to satisfying our plastics needs. Right now there is no alternative to plastic, either..
SO use oil for plastic, but don't BURN the oil (and then we can even recycle the plastic efficiently maybe, cause we won't have to use fossil fuels to run the recycling plants), use nuclear reaction for energy, problems solved, all electric cars, no worries!

GOP: The Warmonger party?
Since when? Even George W. ran on a platform of international non-intervention. Wolfowitz got his wish though (for his new world order doctrine) and their was a 'catalyzing event' to use as an excuse to go to war with, basically, anyone the executive branch (read puppet masters) sees as threatening to the status quo, including American Citizens who, apparently, can be targeted for assasination, despite the constitution.
Forbes Reports that Dr. Ron Paul was the only GOP candidate with an intelligent foreign policy and national defense strategy among the entire candidate base;
" Ron Paul’s clear and compelling case against a war with Iran irritated his Fox News hosts (who have already expressed their disdain for Paul) and painted him in stark contrast to his Republican rivals."
His main rival in this particular debate, Michelle Bachman, insists that Iran is a huge threat, and are guaranteed, without a doubt, making it basically a mathematical and metaphysical certainty (based on the fact that their constitution says 'worldwide jihad'... though we doubt that Bachman knows what jihad really means) to throw nukes at everyone we like and give them to everyone we hate, if they come to possess them. Were you dropped as a baby, Michelle?
What happened to the Republican idea of nonintervention? What happened to leaving other countries to work out their own messes, ESPECIALLY when we're flat broke?
Hurrah, Dr. Paul, for standing up in the face the racism and hatred that has transformed the faces of so many of those in the government and the media, and BOO Fox News for trying to start more wars. The cliche 'two rights don't make a wrong' is a cliche for a reason, guys.
For those of us that are sick and tired of hearing about deaths overseas, both of our friends and loved ones serving, and the 'enemy' that we have invaded and declared war on, it is refreshing to hear that there is a TRUE republican among the bunch. Ron Paul understands that when you INVADE OTHER PEOPLES' NATIONS and BOMB THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN and DICTATE THEIR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL POLICY, and CONDEMN THEM OVER AND OVER diplomatically, that they tend to respond with some amount of irritation.
Hopefully the rest of the nation will start to understand that people don't just hate us for no reason. They hate us because we do things that piss them off.

Ron Paul: NOT just a novelty candidate.
Despite CNN's quote that:
"Paul's supporters wonder if he could win a general election, and the candidate himself doubts his stamina in what could be a long GOP primary fight. "
(which as a supporter I doubt is the case at all, cause I certainly have faith in his stamina... he's a doctor for God's sake).
It is also clear that Ron Paul is a serious threat to Gingrich's tenuous hold on the Republican Party, which is AWESOME. When even CNN has to admit (though obviously grudgingly) that Ron Paul has a good shot at things, you know we're doing well.
Go Dr. Paul!
And although NYDailyNews.com reports that :
"Though Paul has little chance to secure the Republican nomination, his campaign strategy could give him a loud voice at the GOP convention."
It seems blatant that the comment is a last ditch effort to convince those who haven't quite seen the light that Ron Paul isn't worth wasting their vote. We know now that this isn't the case, but nice try NYDN, you're gonna go on the list of propagandists now. This editorial comment is blatantly one sided, and not at all in the interest of balanced journalism. This type of 'article' should be shown in journalism classes throughout the country as an example of media's attempts to control the political sphere. The overall tone of the article seems to indicate that Dr. Paul's success is more a detriment to Gingrich than indicative of any real worthiness on Paul's part. Again, as I said before, good ideas don't die without a strong fight. Ron Paul for President, 2012. He can do it, we can do it, we need to do it.

Ron Paul might win?! and someone is reporting on it!
I never would have thought the day would come when a major news outlet would report anything remotely near this. However, The Kansas City Star, owned by the McClathy Company, says in the linked article that Ron Paul will probably take second in the Iowa vote on Jan 3rd, and has a good shot at Gingrich, even.
For all of those who say that Ron Paul isn't electable, I say ANYONE is electable, and Dr. Paul isn't just anyone. His message of personal liberty in combination with a small, constitutionally sound government is an ageless concept, and though our founding fathers were some of the first people to attempt to implement the idea on a grand scale (not democracy, but a democratic republic) the ideas of freedom and personal responsibility for ever member of a country is not a new idea, and is not a crazy idea, as so many people seem to think.
We HAVE NOT outgrown the ideals set down in our constitution. This would be like saying we have outgrown the bicycle because it's an idea over 100 years old. Good ideas don't die. However, those who's interests are disturbed by talks of a government who is no longer ruled by the few at the expense of the many will continue to try to convince us otherwise.
Be wary!

'President' or 'King'?
What, at this point, are the relevant distinctions between our President (and indeed, other Presidents around the world) and the typical Monarch who is accompanied by a relatively weak parliament, and a judicial system that, basically, answers to the executive branch?
Not much, it seems. The president is held responsible for things he can't possible hold any power over, and also claims credit for things he couldn't possibly have had anything to do with. However, he often blames the opposition party/congress/a lack of good Intel for Snafus.
this is all something to be expected in a political circus like we have here in the United States, where the president is largely elected by the Media. Or at least, the individual as the popular media portrays him. Then, when in office, we find that the president is very little like the image portrayed prior to the presidency. Surprise Surprise. The fact that presidents in recent history have all come from something akin to the landed aristocracy in medieval Europe lends addition credence to the idea that the President has become an individual whom behaves and is viewed more like a king, or someone with king like powers at the very least. At this point he can, effectively, declare wars, assassinate American citizens, and engage in all sorts of King like activities.
One might argue that we have a system set up with checks and balances. However, the system as it was set up was supposed to guarantee that no one branch, executive, legislative, or judicial had any more power than the others. Legislative makes laws, executive branch enforces Law, and the Judicial branch determines whether or not there has been violation of law.
We know, however, than though we may all have equal protection under the Law, we are not all subject to the same laws. Indeed, the President routinely takes an oath in which he pledges to uphold the constitution, both in letter and in spirit. This clearly is a falsehood, as we have seen since the first Executive Order (via President Lincoln), which was basically Presidential Legislation that skipped the normal processes. Additionally, the president no longer has to get a declaration of war from congress to take military action against a country or group of people. The Judicial branch is ignored often in the decisions it makes, and the Attorney General selectively prosecutes. The Legislative branch is mostly a farce, and at the whim of Presidential Veto, a polarized (apparently, though not really) two-party system, and the Federal Reserve system.
And, really, they're all at the mercy of the world wide banking system, along with world wide media conglomerates. Let's face it. Without the Ted Turners of the world, the Bush's of the world could never get elected, and without the Rothschild's of the world, the continued boom bust cycle that makes the few rich and the many poor simply wouldn't exist as it does.
Illuminati aside, its pretty clear that the power is in the hands of one President, and like Kings of old, he is a puppet to some unseen (but perhaps well known) puppeteer.

Alternatives to FRN (Federal Reserve Notes)
So what happens if (read when) the dollar crashes. How will we get food, clothing, heat, etc? Well, it won't take very long for competing currencies to emerge, mostly backed by state and private holdings of gold and silver. These currencies will either BE physical gold, silver, and copper, or will represent actual amounts of these metals (or perhaps some other holder of value) held in vaults somewhere, where those value holders are actually audited and examined for accuracy. Given the current value of the dollar relative to other goods (like gold, silver, etc..) it seems likely that those who have invested in actual property (rather than, say, the GLD etf or gold options, shares, or other pieces of paper that represent gold in a bank that trades in US dollars) will do very well, and be able to buy the goods they need. Things like guns, bullets, gasoline, basic foodstuffs, dry firewood, etc will be in high demand, and luxury goods will be in low demand.
It's important to start thinking about how things will be if the dollar no longer holds any value. Even now it only holds imaginary value, which, for most, is becoming less and less dependable, which is reflected in prices of goods, and the value of gold relative to the dollar.

Gold up over 10.00 today
I expect, as always, with continued plans in Europe and the U.S to continue to propagate their fiat currency scheme for the world, that we will continue to see gold rise.
At least until they make it illegal to compare the worth of Federal Reserve Notes to gold and silver at all.
Confiscate it (again), and strike all record of these metals from history and the periodic table of the elements.
Sounds like a wet dream for the Ben Bernankster.

The Death of Steve Jobs
Seems important to say something about.
I don't know much about the gentleman though, other than he is widely considered to be a revolutionary businessman and philanthropist.
It is unfortunate that he had Microsoft's Government Sponsored Monopoly to fight against, and wasn't granted the billions of dollars in Government Subsidies and Contracts that Microsoft was.
He worked hard for his money, seems to be the consensus.
He was proof that a small business could turn into a massive business and succeed.
I hope the current establishment (Big Government Corporate Aristocracy) doesn't completely destroy his dream by denying future entrepreneurs the same opportunity, as they seem to be intent on doing.
Here's a fourth branch piece on him.

Greece gets the service of QuantitativeEasingIncorporated
AKA QEInc.
QEInc. Europe is swinging in for it's own version of QE2 for Greece, and French bankers are, almost literally, crapping their pants. This all amid our own fiscal troubles spells for interesting times.
Even Reuters is reporting that Europe is looking pretty grim...
I wonder if people will start to draw any conclusions from what's going on in Greece and see how the similar fiat banking practices in the United States are, as we gear up with QEInc. part 3 here at home .
Probably not, realistically, because CNN, FoxNews, and their Ilk, continue to inform most of our news watching population. Unfortunately many of these individuals come out in cattle like droves, voting mindlessly for the Donkey or the Elephant, and not really realizing that it's just a shadow puppet on the wall, cast by the same hand. If 20% of a population votes (not ours, of course, but let's just say), and 51% of that population votes, doesn't that mean that like 10.2% of the overall population is making decisions for the other 89 percent? I'm pretty bad at math so that might be wrong.
Please look at what Von Mises Institute has to say about the way our economy is working and start saving wisely... Gold and Silver hold value far better than fiat currency, as we can see from the incredible increase in the price of gold over the last 20 years.
Most of all though, don't let fear mongers like me keep you from being hopeful about your future and what you work for , just please, use it wisely.

It seems that our Senate just decided to go to (currency) war with China as they pass legislation to attempt to force the Chinese government to let it's currency inflate to 'create more US Jobs'

How in god's name do legislators STILL THINK they can do anything to create jobs, rather than damage the private sector's ability to recover on its own (HA!). Until we see a removal of minimum wage laws and union control of labor, there's nothing Congress can do but damage the labor market as a whole, and really REALLY piss china off.

Gold > paper money!!!
Zero Hedge just posted this article on gold, the just of which is that those with some say so in global currency are finally starting to PUBLICLY acknowledge that gold is becoming a much better holder of value than any given paper currency. Yay.
This might mean some scary things for those paper currencies, especially given whats going on in Europe.
If it weren't illegal, I'd advise using silver and gold to trade instead of paper money. *cough cough*

Nasdaq down over 3% today
Along with reports Here in the world markets that Greece failed to meet its deficit marks once again, the world economy continues to get swallowed by the bottomless pit of Keynesian economic strategies.
And yet the EU ministers continue to plan, though with some hesitation, to follow through on Greece's bailout in November despite their continued failure to use those bailouts to any significant effects.
This all occurs amid strife and protest and a probable police crackdown in Greece, the Fatherland of the democratic republic.
Excellent.
Also, gold is up over dollars today as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see a continued rise in gold as all this crazy stuff going on domestically and internationally causes a drop of confidence in any currency whatever.

ATM fees by BofA and City?
ZeroHedge Posted this article today about the concern that with certain large banking institutions in the banking cartel (BofA and Citi) implementing debit card fees, many depositors will be taking their business elsewhere, precipitating, perhaps, the next government bailout on the road to a nationalized banking system.
My advice? Bank local. Even credit unions seem like a good option at this point. It won't be long before JP Morgan-Chase follows suit (indeed they already have very little to offer bankers over competing small banks).
If the government does indeed 'have' to step in again to bail these companies out, we will see an end to this supposed recovery, an increase in the price of gold, and a decrease in the value of the dollar. Again.
Good game.
I still blame the Federal Reserve.

Going above and beyond
It seems to be discouraged these days. Keep your head down in highschool, do just well enough that the school continues to get state and federal funding, graduate and enter wage slavery, or graduate and enter the secondary education sector, then find a career, earn wealth for those who are already wealthy, and hope to earn enough to take care of your kids and maybe retire.
This country is lockd into a pattern. Born, school, work and/or family, retire, die.
There is no real questing for a return to self determination
No real yearning for the evil and corrupt phenomena we see by those in power to be curbed, but simply change hands from one group to another. The power from big business to big military, or the power from socialism to corporatism (not capitalism). The future begins to look bleak. On CSPAN the other day, one of the women who sits on the board of directors even admitted that this particular 'recovery' (which is what they are calling the current economic climate) is progressing in much a different way than normal, and that way is slower, and doesn't seem to be creating the jobs we need created, or the industrial base we need to recover. Which means if the next bust in the boom bust cycle occurs before we have a real recovery we will continue to see a consistent downward slope.

This country is lockd into a pattern. Born, school, work and/or family, retire, die.
There is no real questing for a return to self determination
No real yearning for the evil and corrupt phenomena we see by those in power to be curbed, but simply change hands from one group to another. The power from big business to big military, or the power from socialism to corporatism (not capitalism). The future begins to look bleak. On CSPAN the other day, one of the women who sits on the board of directors even admitted that this particular 'recovery' (which is what they are calling the current economic climate) is progressing in much a different way than normal, and that way is slower, and doesn't seem to be creating the jobs we need created, or the industrial base we need to recover. Which means if the next bust in the boom bust cycle occurs before we have a real recovery we will continue to see a consistent downward slope.
Sad.
