Lessons from Greece

Below is the rough transcript of some remarks I made at the campaign’s successful fun-raiser at the American Sandwich Company in Coopersburg on June 6, the 66th anniversary of D-Day. More details on the fundraiser in tomorrow’s post. The event began with a moment of silence for veterans, especially the 5,490 soldiers who have died so far in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Today we face a D-Day of a different sort, and while there is still war, the causes are economic. At the last Towne Hall, I presented “The Economy in Pictures” where I demonstrated that unemployment is > > 17%, 1 in every 8 Americans is on food stamps, the FDIC that “insures” bank accounts is hopelessly insolvent, and the true national debt is really $120 Trillion – when the $13 trillion in US treasury debt is added to the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare – a vast sum that is best put into personal terms as $400,000 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. At this point, even if the government were to tax 100% of each citizen’s dollars and properties, there still would not be enough to theoretically pay off this deb…. http://www.peacefreedomprosperity.com/?p=3552 added by: shanklinmike

Kim Jong-il: Secret $4 Billion Kingpin

* More Images at link as well as informational sources* http://mav1457.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/kim-jong-il-secret-4-billion-kingpin/ North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-il preaches to his people mass propaganda denouncing the west, its politics and the western world in general. Kim I’m sure does not mention his affection for Lincoln automobiles or American movies in these speeches and certainly fails to discuss his personal wealth estimated at over $4 billion. For a man who hates the western civilized world; he sure does love a lot of the amenities that come directly from it especially the United States. Kim has a love for western cars and his collection is vast, just like his collection of 20,000 movies from all over the world (twice as many movies than an average Blockbuster store). Now Kim does not watch these films tucked away in some typical North Korean shack; oh no. He watches these movies and parks his cars in a very American-style luxury home (one of over a dozen homes) with his yacht parked out back. Did I mention that when Kim needs a ride through the countryside he does it on one of his luxury armored trains but that’s an article for another time. In a country where masses are starving; especially during the winter months, Kim eats lavishly. Kim has a healthy appetite for gourmet pizza, minus anchovies of course, and it cannot be too salty. He also eats the customary rice, but it must be uniform in size and shape. Kim enjoys his fish as well but it must be sashimi and it must be carved while alive. Now of course a man who eats needs a drink. Kim’s wine cellar is no exception, and he has reportedly over 10,000 bottles to wash down his pizza. Now with all of that grand eating Kim, like many, would become overweight. The leader knows this and of course goes to the extreme by having a sole institute in Pyongyang dedicated to his health. This lavish facility has the best doctors money can buy from around the world constantly assessing the health of the North Korean leader and his food intake. According to Seok Young Hwan; a physician who worked directly with Kim, over 200 professionals alone focus on Kim’s diet. All of this for a man who leads the world’s most impoverished country. But the question remains – in an impoverished country where does all of Kim’s wealth originate? According to South Korean intelligence Kim can best be summed up as a hard-drinking playboy smitten with race cars and beautiful blonds. The juicy tidbits that filtered out read like a novel: that he was the world’s No. 1 customer for Hennessy cognac reportedly spending over $600,000 a year in the 1990s to fill his glass, that he and his cronies partied with female “pleasure teams,” that he was too incoherent to rule for long. Kim is literally bleeding the wealth out of his citizens; and stuffing it all in his pockets but that isn’t how he’s amassed billions in personal wealth tucked away in foreign banks. His wealth is on the rise, and so is his collection of cars, homes, chefs, alcohol and anything that you would see on Rodeo Drive. The people continue to stand by and starve while giving everything to their leader who needs nothing. Kim preaches to the world and the United Nations cold war rhetoric yet he himself lives the life better than the President of the United States. I’m sure by now you’re wondering; how does a leader in a country with no economy afford all of this? Well Kim and his family are the biggest drug dealers in all of Asia. They use their private jets and other UN protected cars and the like to import the drugs without being caught. Drug sales certainly do not account for all of his money, so what else is Kim doing? Kim is also one of the biggest arm’s dealers in all of Asia, reaping the sales of illegal firearms. His eldest son was detained in Japan for supposedly wanting to see Disney Land, however it has been widely suspected that he was there to negotiate a large drug deal. Beyond drugs and firearms the Kim family is also highly involved in illegal counterfeiting, gambling and the export of fake Viagra and reindeer antler (an Asian aphrodisiac). The man cannot live an honest life in-front of his people and the world and he certainly cannot make an honest buck. added by: Colin_McCabe

Guess What America? Your Cities And States Are Flat Broke

Now that the economic boom times of the earlier part of the decade are over, cities and states across America are going bust. In fact, for a growing number of local governments throughout the United States, there is no getting around the fact that “flat broke” accurately describes the situation that they are facing. For many of these cities and states that are on the verge of bankruptcy, the American Dream is quickly turning into the American Nightmare. added by: Revelation1217

Ohio

Today, we drove through Ohio on the bus.  For anyone who hasn’t been to Ohio in the summer, it is gorgeous and everyone should drive through it if you get the chance. We started the morning at a Bob Evans Restaurant and then headed to a very lively town hall at the Veteran’s Memorial Civic and Convention Center in Lima.  Tomorrow, we head to the annual Iowa State Fair in Des Moines – where we will hopefully see the largest pig in the United States, among other interesting attractions.  Then it’s back on the plane, and we’ll end our day in Las Vegas!
