OBOOMA BOMBS, DEBT, INFLATION, FREE TRANSIT

Nazi Citigroup/Obooma as, by now, EVERYBODY knows, is a complete, total, unmitigated disaster that befell the United Suckers and Assholes nation, a manufactured, shallow, hollow, demagogic Frankenstein created monster, an Administration pulled hither, dither and yon without ANY deep INDEPENDENT comprehension, knowledge or understanding of what to do, trying to satisfy everybody and satisfying NOBODY, digging ALL deeper and deeper into an abysmal mess, morass, an abomination, a curse on the planet and the END of the USA.

Nazi Citigroup Obooma and his petty CIA, gangster, mob Administration is the USA coup de grace.

His/their "stimulus" package should be called the "debt and inflation," banana republic, pork and anarchy bill.

The ship of state is being steered by idiots, historical neophytes, morons, juveniles, adolescents, petty gangsters, criminals, the Chicago mob and, of course, Nazi Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, his/their main benefactors.
From one end of the spectrum to the other, there is general agreement about this. For example,

"Banks Rescue Will Make Things Worse":

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Banks-Rescue-Will-Make-Things-cnbc-14311295.html

Immediately upon Obooma's Bomb, Senate passage of his/their Nazi Citigroup/Morgan Stanley Debt, Inflation and Pork Bill, which squeaked by because 3 Republican Senators either were bought or threatened, and his/their Bank Bailout announcement, above, Treasury Bills had their best day yet, for the simple reason the US now becomes THE largest debtor on the planet and MUST sell more government T-Bills at inflationary rates.

The PRIVATE Federal Reserve Bank simply prints money, LOANS it to the US Treasury which then SELLS it as debt on the open market with interest PAID mostly by United Suckers and Assholes working class taxpayers.
We are borrowing FROM OURSELVES and indebted to the same banks!!

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Treasurys-rise-most-year-bank/story.aspx?guid=%7BD79858E0%2D17E5%2D410C%2DA98F%2D27F21CF1BE1A%7D

And, even the following about free public transportation, although I do not agree it should be part of any DEBT package, is correct for other reasons and amply illustrates lack of ANY progressive or positive program whatsoever.
It is no different than debt incurred to the IMF by so-called Third World countries to finance inflationary and unnecessary "development projects."
In fact, it is precisely the same thing.
So, here, for example, regarding what SHOULD be free public transportation:

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Mass-transit-systems-taking-wrong/story.aspx?guid=%7B7D3B4CEB%2D8C3A%2D4D5F%2D83FD%2DD26CA33FA5F9%7D

Obooma and Citigroup represent a complete, total Nazi DICTATORSHIP with NO legitimacy, as such, whatsoever.

Nor was Obooma's election legitimate.

As I have said, war must be delcared on him/them.

I am not alone in this position, as you can see.
The ONLY support Obooma has comes from Citigroup, JP Morgan, their immediate circle of financial benefactors and profiteers and the Fascist, gangster, criminal, dictatorial, anti-Communist enterprise called unions who support him.

They are ALL part of the problem, not the solution.

They ALL must go down.

Indeed, he/they may all go down SOONER than you think.

If you cannot follow ALL the information below regarding the Andy Stern gang's SEIU, Obooma's MAJOR labor supporter, in their battle with UHW-West, United Healthcare Workers West, read through to the comment section at the bottom of the following:

MORE CITIGROUP/OBOOMA TITANIC, ISRAEL NOCHI DANKNER

The following two articles below are simple, clear, to the point, which is why I chose them.
Unfortunately, the people at this website do NOT always get facts correct, but, when they do, they hit the nail on the head.
They also tend towards hyperbole, but, that's fine sometimes.
The banks receiving the bulk of taxpayers money is not quite endless.
They are/were the largest, their names well known by now.
Link following, EXCERPT:

"US headed for a thirty year depression because of wasted money by Bush, Obama – it’s a sinking Titanic in the first hour Jeff Cantor Feb. 8, 2009The wasteful spending in the name of bailing out banks, and increased Government spending will haunt America for the next thirty years. The Titanic is sinking and life saving boats are being wasted.
Every penny Federal Reserve wasted in rescuing Citi, AIG…(an endless list) will have to be paid with full interest by the next several generations. Every penny Paulson and Bush distributed to their friends in Wall Street will have to be paid by the American taxpayers. Every penny that Obama will spend through the Government ‘Pork’ will have to be paid back also. It is the Titanic during first 45 minutes..."

And alittle more on a theme:

Then, for additional commentary on the absurdity unfolding in Nazi Citigroup/Obooma United Suckers and Assholes nation the following video.
The PERSON to whom you should pay most attention in the following program video is Rick Santelli, beginning around minute #3-4.
The video is not long, about 8 minutes, but, IF you wish you can begin at minute #3 approximately and listen/watch to the very end.
Rick Santelli is featured in the upper right hand corner of the screen, speaking from the trading floor at the NY Stock Exchange.
The bald headed fellow is the ringer, apologist in the bunch:

And, then, from Iceland:

http://icelandweatherreport.com/2009/02/on-holding-the-tycoons-accountable.html

Of course, THIS system of counterrevolutionary privatization AND capital concentration is THE one "they," above, are FOISTING upon everyone from the Middle East to the former Soviet Union, for which everybody fights and dies.

Since foreign and domestic finances are totally and completely intertwined, I thought I would add an extra note to today's otherwise banal and dismal domestic entry about:

WHO OWNS ISRAEL?

Aside from Citigroup's Stanley Fischer, strategically placed as Governor of the Bank of Israel, and, then, the individuals and companies I have named previously surrounding the Gaza/Israel/Lebanon Gas wars and pipeline projects, Israel Opportunity Fund (see yesterday's blog entry just below), today, I will feature Israel's Nochi Dankner.
Here's an EXCERPT regarding Israel's Nochi Dankner, and, then, the link from which I took it, afterwards:

"...This person is connected to 83 board members in 13 different organizations across 13 different industries..."

END OF EXCERPT FROM...

After perusing the above link, which I hope you did, you might not have noticed it, but, an article exists about IDB Holdings, one of Dankner's numerous subsidiaries, and Credit Suisse. Here's an EXCERPT from that article. MY emphasis in BOLD:

"...Four months ago Dankner undertook a major investment when IDB's subsidiary Koor Industries Ltd. (TASE:KOR) acquired about 3 percent of Credit Suisse for $1.1 billion and became the Swiss bank's third largest shareholder.
That deal has raised the international profile of IDB and Nochi Dankner personally.
Dankner said that he conceived the idea of investing in a foreign bank when he read in a newspaper last year on a flight to Singapore that Abu Dhabi was investing $7.5 million in Citigroup. He said that he had drawn up a shortlist of 26 banks to invest in but had chosen Credit Suisse because of its financial strength..."

END OF EXCERPT FROM:

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000424462&fid=942

Credit Suisse, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, et.al, are well represented in the GCC coordinating, privatizing, speculative bubble and money-go-round.

Further, Israel's Bank Hapoalim, of which Dankner is a Director, has a Turkish partner "close to the AKP," as quoted below. And the projected Turkish-TIP (Trans-Israel) pipeline expansion also involves Turkish PM Erdogan's son-in-law, Berat Albayrak and his Calik Group.


(From a previous blog entry: Erdogan's son-in-law, Berat Albayrak, was appointed CEO with Turkey's Calik Group and, in turn, Turkey's Calik Group was awarded sole contractor for the above pipeline project.)
"...Bank Hapoalim owns 35% of Bankpozitif, with the rest held by C Faktoring SA, whose owner, Halit Cingillioglu, is considered close to the AK Party, Turkey's current ruling party..."

END OF EXCERPT FROM...

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000424228&fid=942

And, to complete the financial circle, Dankner, above, happily and coincidentally, is PARTNERED in real estate with Tshuva, below, of Delek Group and Isramco's offshore Haifa, Israel gas consortium.
From a previous blog entry, February 2, 2009:

"...Yet all these paled in comparison with the fortunes of billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, the majority shareholder in energy and property giant Delek Group, and the owner of, among numerous holdings, the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan..."

BALTICS, UKRAINE, KIRKUK, ISRAEL OPPTY FUND, MORE WAR

Returning, momentarily, to events outside the domestic confines of the continental United Assholes and Suckers but very much intertwined, at the nub, the heart, the center, of current domestic events...continuing from previous postings.

Two sides of the Nazi US government coin exists.

Flip sides.

The domestic front handled, or, bungled, mishandled by Nazi Citigroup frontman Obooma, and, then, the foreign one, relegated to Fascist frontpersons Biden and Clinton.

Lots of NOISE and empty rhetoric about change emanating out of all sides of the one Nazi Citigroup government mouthpieces.

First, the US Congressional House Baltic Caucus remains alive, well and kicking.
And, here's a reminder of our putative, oxymoron named "peace" candidate, US Congressional Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, CO-CHAIRMAN of the House Baltic Caucus, attending one of their/his latest events:

http://www.jbanc.org/?page=blog&v=4&id=6

And, another group to which our nominal "peace candidate," above, Kucinich, and HIS/their Baltic Caucus, are intertwined, the vitriolic, pugnacious, chilling, "Victims of Communism" organization.
You ought to peruse both these websites:

http://www.victimsofcommunism.org/

Couple the above about the Northeast Europe Baltic Caucus with the following, below, about Southeast Europe Ukraine through which the preponderance of Russia's gas pipelines flow and the bulk of Russia's European land mass is sandwiched.

If the above about the Baltics and the following, below, about Ukraine, taken together, is not an ominous presage, forecast, prognostication of more war and conflict waiting to happen, I do not know what is.

First, "US Embassy Representative: Obama Has Great Plans Concerning Ukraine":

http://www.regnum.ru/english/1120936.html

And, then, "Moldavian expert: Verdict of UN court paves way for legal partition of Ukraine initiated by Romania":

http://www.regnum.ru/english/1119970.html

Additionally, playing at a theatre near you, SOON, KIRKUK'S explosion, the next chapter of the Iran/Iraq, regional mopping up, regime change and congruency scenario necessary for regional integration and economic privatization about which I have been writing since last spring, ALL FINANCED with help of/by United Suckers and Assholes taxes, debt AND their hypocritical Fascist, blood soaked, pension fund investments:

http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2009/me_iraq0110_02_06.asp

There is so much more to say about endless, ongoing privatization developments throughout the Nazi GCC states, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, IMF, Israel, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, etc.

So, I chose the following, an especially good illustrative example of the cynical, intertwined hypocrisy of all involved, the

"Israel Opportunity Fund Chair Meets Gulf Investors."

First, an EXCERPT, link following.

MY emphasis below in BOLD face type:

"Israel Opportunity Fund chair meets Gulf investors
The Gulf sovereign funds had an aggregate $2 trillion in assets under management in mid-2008.
Shlomit Lan, Davos8 Feb 09 17:09
Sources inform ''Globes'' that Israel Opportunity Fund chairman Dan GIllerman met senior officials from Gulf sovereign funds at the World Economic Forum in Davos. He apparently wants to interest the officials in Israel as an alternative place for their investments.
The Gulf sovereign funds reportedly had an aggregate $2 trillion in assets under management on the eve of the global economic crisis. They reportedly invested more than $10 billion in US banks, including Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) and Merrill Lynch & Co. (NYSE: MER), as well as in Switzerland's UBS AG (NYSE: SWX: UBS)..."

I will conclude with the following:

TIME STILL TO BLOCK OBOOMA'S STIMULUS HORROR

The so-called stimulus package in United Suckers and Assholes nation is NOT a done deal yet despite what "they," the spin doctors, would have, or, like to have, everyone believe.

A vote in the Senate is yet to come, probably Monday, amidst widespread and general disaffection:

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/090207/obama_economy.html

And, from the NY Times propaganda rag sheet, which I hate and detest and use about once a year.
So, following is my once a year NY Times allotment for 2009:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/us/politics/08stimulus.html?partner=MOREOVERNEWS&ei=5040

Furthermore, Obooma must take his pony show on the road in order to TRY drumming up support.
Here's where they/he are scheduled to appear in town hall meetings this coming week:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090207/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_travel_7

Get out and make your voices heard and your presence felt!

MORE financial bills, giveaways, gifts, bonanzas, being introduced into Congress THIS COMING WEEK!
This is hardly the end, only the beginning.

And, then, on top of all this money being BORROWED, LOANED by our DEBTORS from the United Suckers and Assholes CREDITORS and given as gifts/presents back to their own DEBTORS, the DEBTORS and their financial friends will turn around and once more own/purchase the CREDITORS debt so that the CREDITORS will become the DEBTORS, once again, in the money-go-round of United Assholes and Suckers.
To recap, simply put, the Creditors finance their Debtors and the Debtors become their Creditors.

The scope of such a willing scam and the compliance of so many United Assholes and Suckers defies belief and is beyond my capacities to describe.
It's simply jaw dropping.

A secondary locust of lobbyists descends on the White House to further partake of the munificence of this grandieose spending scheme, inflationary tax gift, giveaway and boon to private capital and industry and yet another speculative debt bubble is created.

And, then, the yearly US Congressional Budget has yet to be discussed and debated, the place WHERE we SHOULD be allocating taxpayer funds DIRECTLY!!

Behold such a nation of compliant, voluntary, willful suckers, doormats, assholes.
Indeed a world class phenomenoa.
A dubious distinction.

Lastly, a free advertisement.
Check the following blogspot for excellent English translations and updates about events and resistance from Greece:

NAZI CITIGROUP/ OBOOMA LINEUP, PAY TO PLAY

And, just who is the illustrious "new" Fascist team of Obooma financial advisors announced today?
EXCERPT from link following.
MY emphasis in BOLD:

"... Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman and a top Obama adviser, as the leader of the high-profile panel of advisers.
Members will include former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman William Donaldson, TIAA-CREF President-CEO Roger Ferguson and Harvard University professor Martin Feldstein, who wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece last year titled "John McCain Has a Tax Plan To Create Jobs."
Obama friend and campaign finance chairwoman Penny Pritzker also is on the board, as is Caterpillar Inc. Chairman-CEO Jim Owens and General Electric Co. CEO Jeffrey R. Immelt.
Two labor officials -- Anna Burger of Service Employees International Union and Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO -- also were named to the 15-member board designed to offer Obama advice as he seeks a way to weather the crisis and rebuild the economy..."
END OF EXCERPT FROM...

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Obama-names-advisers-to-help-apf-14277133.html

ALL listed above are part of the PROBLEM and the ENEMY HIT LIST.
This is why NOTHING happens in the US as compared to elsewhere on the globe.

Simultaneous with the above developments, a new indictment in Illinois Democratic Gov Blagoyevich's pending trial on corruption charges, part of Chicago's mafia "pay-to-play" scheme, as it is called, of which Obooma's national "stimulus" package is much the SAME but on a greater, larger, grandieose scale.
Consider Blagoyevich a sneak preview of coming events:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ExIll-govs-fundraiser-faces-apf-14277780.html

And the following economic forecaster, while NOT in any way a Marxist in analysis, answers, solutions, nonetheless, still states the truth better about Nazi Citigroup Obooma's forthcoming speculative debt, inflationary bond bubble, boom and bonanza and the unmitigated pending disaster and GIVEAWAY it represents than our Nazis, ABOVE, masquerading as a Left Opposition:

http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/169781/Peter-Schiff-Stimulus-Bill-Will-Lead-to-%22Unmitigated-Disaster%22?tickers=%5Edji,%5Egspc,QQQQ,SPY,DIA,TLT,UDN

In contrast to the utterly horrific, abysmal nightmare of the collaborative Nazi United Suckers and Assholes represented ABOVE, events unfolding elsewhere on the globe contain elements of real, organized, class Opposition.

For example, France and their CGT union:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/French-unions-criticize-apf-14276709.html

Then, a BRIEF roundup including more from Greece and France from:

www.libcom.org/news

And, then, the following is reported about Iceland, but, I have another link below it regarding Icelandic response, "Iceland Central Bankers Snub PM Deadline," refusing to resign:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Iceland-central-bankers-snub-apf-14276521.html

And, here is the voice of the Icelandic Resistance and Opposition to which I am referring:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7871256.stm

Contrast and compare all the above to the response of the homegrown United Assholes and Suckers named above.

So, ALL the above included, but, not exclusive, in United Assholes and Suckers land, including industries like Hollywood and multi-million dollar TV stars, such as Oprah, who SUPPORT, EXCUSE, JUSTIFY, RATIONALIZE OBOOMA ARE NAZI COLLABORATORS, WHO MUST BE OPPOSED, ISOLATED, BOYCOTTED, EXPOSED as such for what they are.

As a closing footnote from the wide spectrum of Nazi governments and collaborators abroad, I thought I would link to the following two articles about Hamas and Iran.

First, regarding a Hamas Delegation crossing Egypt's border with a few million dollars cash stashed and hidden away. Nothing like a little "walking around money" which US elections workers receive for their "efforts," something about which Nazi Obooma and companions know ALOT:

http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=19570

And, then, a nice big smooch, hug, kisses between Hamas leader Khaleed Mashaal and Iran's Ahmadimoron:

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-world/20090202/ML.Iran.Hamas/

I will not bother saying the obvious regarding the junk and garbage about Iraq and its so-called elections and government, or, my previous entries about regime change, congruency and mopping up, Nazi Maliki, Allawi, Muwaffaq Al-Rubaie, Iran, et.al.

Instead, I will just add a link about the latest on Hamid Jafar's Dana Gas/Crescent Oil/Abraaj overlocking and interlocking directorates and growing empire, which is, after all, what it is ALL about, anyway, related to the United Suckers and Assholes policies above and elsewhere as well.
Dana Gas plans drilling in the UK, Morroco, Norway and Egypt:

DECLARE WAR ON CITIGROUP/OBOOMA, NO STIMULUS!!

HOLD EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS NAZI CITIGROUP/OBOOMA ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ABOMINABLE DISASTER!!

THEY MUST ALL GO DOWN ALONG WITH THEIR FRIENDS!

AND OBOOMA/CITIGROUP'S TRILLION DOLLAR TAX STIMULUS, DEBT, GIVEAWAY, BANK SUBSIDIES AND NEWLY CREATED SPECULATIVE BUBBLE.

ALREADY, Citigroup, JP Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and friends have received $350 Billion of taxpayer monies which they unaccountably frittered away!

He/we/they should be liquidating, prosecuting, seizing and nationalizing their tangible assets, not liabilities, including those they hold abroad.
Instead, we are collectively subsidizing them!
Many times over, with new debt.

Their assets are collectively OURS, owned by those who labor in our industries and services to create real wealth and use value, not artificial, paper wealth and debt.
These assets belong to ALL and everyone.

Not only is Nazi Citigroup Obooma NOT liquidating and seizing real, tangible assets from debtors, Obooma and the United Suckers and Assholes are borrowing MORE from these very same debtors and using it to pay them and their friends AGAIN!!

Order the US government to seize their own fucking money and the assets behind these liabilities.
WE, COLLECTIVELY, are the CREDITORS!!
THEY ARE THE DEBTORS!!

And, the United Suckers and Assholes Nazi/Citigroup frontman, piece of shit, garbage, trash and schmuck in the White House has the audacity not to ask, but, DEMAND MORE!!

Well, I DEMAND HIS RESIGNATION!
I/WE DEMAND ALL THE ABOVE!!

And that includes, as well, all and ANY Republican who goes along with ANY modified stimulus, debt, tax and bailout package, whatsoever.

This, by far, is the greatest government swindle in all of United Suckers and Asshole history.
Nothing even remotely approaches it in grandeur, scale, audacity and scope.

And, where are our unions?
In bed with all the above.
They, too, are ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE for what is occuring.

The Nazi, Citigroup/Obooma Administration is an unmitigated nightmare, in every which way conceivable, the above being part and parcel of a much larger, horrific, reactionary, Fascist package which extends from here abroad.

And, United Suckers and Assholes union pension funds are invested into/with these Fascist, reactionary corporations, their policies and their expansionist empire at home and abroad.

KYRGYZSTAN EVENTS AND OBOOMA LIES

The most current news making headlines is that Russia offered Kyrgyzstan money to oust the US from their present military base necessary for US/NATO Afghan operations.
True enough.

But, there's alot more imperialist economic context that stands behind this isolated news item.

Begin with the following regarding Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Tajik and Russia water, energy and resource development.
FIRST, however, I want to emphasize and EXCERPT one major, overwhelming point before providing the following link with the CURRENT situation:

"....The water dispute dates from the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, when new countries emerged with separate, sometimes conflicting interests.
Prior to that, the constituent Soviet republics existed within a unitary economic system, so that Tajikistan’s and Kyrgyzstan’s power stations were designed to supply the entire Central Asian electricity grid and also regulate water flows to the downstream republics.
In turn, the Tajiks and Kyrgyz would be supplied with oil, gas and coal from Uzbekistan, Kazakstan and Russia.
In the post-Soviet economic order, the Kazaks and Uzbeks began selling their oil and gas on a commercial basis.
Tashkent is now charging the Tajiks and Kyrgyz near world market prices for gas, but it regards water as a free natural commodity and complains when its mountainous neighbouring states withhold it in the crucial growing season in order to fill up their reservoirs and avoid running short of electricity in winter..."
END OF EXCERPT FROM...

http://www.iwpr.net/?p=rca&s=f&o=349823&apc_state=henprca

But, it is not as simple as presented in the article above either in terms of internecine and competing economic interests and imperialist rivalries unleashed in this region by the downfall of the Soviet Union, for whom everybody in their respective roles, including Gorby, got paid millions, if not billions, of dollars.

For this broader context, one must follow an entire series of previous articles done by John Helmer in both mineweb and asiatimes websites regarding Tajikistan President Rahmon and his/their Tajik Aluminum Company, Talco. It is a convoluted affair, involving Russia's oligarchs, Rusal, Norway's Hydro, Tajik President Rahmon, Talco, the Tajik Aluminum Company, EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and a cast of others and offshore entities. As you will see, hydropower is a factor in aluminum production as it is to everything else.

Start with the following Helmer article from 2007.

One SMALL EXCERPT from a VERY DENSE article, below, link following.

The ENTIRE article is MUST reading:

"....Why it would pay Rahmon and Bobokhonov to risk their reputations once more, after getting them blackened through Talco in the first round, becomes clearer, once the role of the EBRD and World Bank to orchestrate the Norwegian takeover of Tajikistan’s aluminium business is understood as part of a general strategy to eliminate Russian influence in the country..."

END OF EXCERPT FROM...

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=155

To recap and add alittle extra to the above, perhaps, in a way that I HOPE will be easy to read/follow, the following link, from MAY, 2008:

http://beyond-the-river.com/?p=112

And, then, you have the option of searching the internet, mineweb and/or asiatimes for Helmer's many background articles mentioned above on this subject, OR, try his blog and work backwards:

http://johnhelmer.net/?cat=14

And, due to current events, while researching the above, I thought I would insert an article for reference written by Helmer in 1992 on the subject of Yeltsin, Russia, the Arab Gulf States, Israel and Iraq relationships. In hindsight, it is quite fascinating.

So, from 1992, and Helmer, "Russia to Ask Arab Sheiks to Pay for Realignment":

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=283

Returning to the present, when Putin/Russia says he/they WANT to cooperate regarding US/NATO Afghan transit, he/they are really saying, he/we are consolidating X number of cards in this region, Kyrgyzstan being one, in a defensive posture and a bargaining chip. Will anything be given in return for cooperation? PERSONALLY, I believe, the answer to that question ultimately is nothing.

And, an end note from United Suckers and Assholes land regarding Nazi Citigroup/Obooma's latest pronouncement about pay limits on executive salaries for firms being bailed out. As usual, it is total, complete bullshit, garbage, PR, posturing, as is EVERYTHING else about him and his/their/our Nazi Citigroup Administration. Here's the truth behind it, again, an EXCERPT from the link following.

MY EMPHASIS IN BOLD:

"...The limit would apply to top-paid executives at the most distressed financial institutions that are negotiating bailout agreements with the federal government. It also would apply to other banks that receive aid, but they could get around the limits by publicizing to shareholders plans to exceed the salary cap.
The limits would not apply retroactively to any bank that received money from the first half of the $700 bailout allocated by Congress. For example, the restriction would not apply to such firms as American International Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., and Citigroup Inc., that already have received such help..."

UAE OFFSETS, 9/11, DANIEL PEARL, CITIGROUP

The following article about a subject called the UAE Offsets Program may not seem important to most people.

However, I am highlighting it BECAUSE it relates to a previous entry I did in 2005 on the connections between the UAE Offset Program, 9/11 and Daniel Pearl to which I will link, once again, afterwards.
"UAE Offsets Program Shares Success Story at Turkey Conference":

http://www.zawya.com/story.cfm/sidZAWYA20090202065458/lok065400090202

And, here's the previous blog entry I did about the UAE Offsets and their connection with 9/11 and Daniel Pearl from September, 2005:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/11/from-sept-2005-911-daniel-pearl-and-uae.html

In the previous blog entry from 2005, above, at the end, I linked to the international drug cartel network and the strange connections of Atta in Florida at the MadCow website.
In the latest from MadCow, they discuss Mexico's Carlos Slim, the NY Times and Slim's drug connections.
However, after reading the following link, once again, I will refer to my own previous blog entry on this matter:

http://www.madcowprod.com/02032009.html

So, now, about Mexico's Carlos Slim and Citigroup from one of my previous blog entries.
The paragraphs dealing specifically with Carlos Slim is approximately in the middle, about half way down, and a reprint from an old WSJ article:

What else is new in the world?
Or, what goes round, comes round.

NO STIMULUS, JP MORGAN HOUSING CZAR, STRIKES EVERYWHERE BUT HERE

NO USA STIMULUS BILL.
NO HOW, NO WAY.
DIRECT APPROPRIATIONS, ONLY!!

There is absolutely NO NEED FOR DEBT creation to fund federal, state and/or local, city social programs and industry.
This is why we have DIRECT APPROPRIATIONS.
This is why we pay taxes, and, private corporations DO NOT!!

CONTACT YOUR SENATORS NOW, IMMEDIATELY!!

They vote sometime this week on the Stimulus package ($825 Billion).
If you do not already know your senators e-mail, phone number, fax, go to the following link:

and enter your zip code.
You will then be able to access a ready formatted blank message to be sent to your Federal Senator(s ).

DEMONSTRATE, PICKET, YELL, SCREAM, PROTEST, STRIKE, SIT DOWN, SIT IN, CONFRONT YOUR UNIONS!!

Following is another example of what is being done locally, similiar to the Federal Stimulus Bill nationally.

They are intertwined, interlinked.

The following happens to be about an Oregon Public Works project bill.

But, it could be anywhere and everywhere in the USA.

The work referred to will be done by PRIVATE CONTRACTORS.

Here's an excerpt, link following:

"...The plan to sell $175 million in bonds to pay for public works projects was approved by the Senate last week over objections from Republicans who said the state is taking on years of debt to pay for routine or even make-work type maintenance jobs..."

IN ADDITION:

UNIVERSAL, SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, ONLY.

NOT TAXPAYER SUBSIDIZED PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE!!

MORE ISRAMCO, DELEK, NOBLE, EMG, MIDEAST SHAPES WORLD ECONOMY

As you may recall, the Isramco consortium recently "discovered" gas offshore Haifa in a field referred to as Tamar.

One of Isramco partners is Delek Group, now privatized, named as a former company in the previous Israel-Iranian owned Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Company partnership, with competing lawsuits pending in Switzerland and elsewhere.
For reference to the above subject, see my previous blog entry from January 30, 2009:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/01/turkey-india-israel-tip-pipelines-and.html

Not surprisingly, "Isramco Shares Reach An All Time High":

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000422326&fid=942

Delek Group is NOT a minor player in all this.

In the following EXCERPT a percentage breakdown is given for who owns what and how much in the Isramco consortium's Israel Tamar offshore gas field.
I believe Avner, named below, is ALSO a Delek Group subsidiary or affiliate.
The direct link for this article following the excerpt, below:

"...The percent interests in the Drill rights are as follows:
Partner/Percent:
Noble Energy Mediterranean
36.00%
Isramco Negev 2, Limited Partnership
28.75%
Delek Drilling, Limited Partnership
15.625%
Avner Oil Exploration, Limited Partnership
15.625%
Dor Gas Exploration, Limited Partnership
4.00%

Delek Group is an INTERNATIONAL company with numerous subsidiaries, their Israel subsidiary being but one.

Here's an invaluable link to many more, numerous articles, sources and information available on the above and related subjects, including flow charts if you follow all the many leads below, including right hand side material, charts, etc:

And extracted from the above website, it appears Eygpt's EMG gas WILL continue to flow to Israel, after all. Here's a direct link from the above source, including a FLOW CHART on the right hand side regarding EMG connections:

However, I do like this one best from which I took the following EXCERPT because it is so blunt and direct, as opposed to the others. I will follow after the quote with its link:

"...Yet all these paled in comparison with the fortunes of billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, the majority shareholder in energy and property giant Delek Group, and the owner of, among numerous holdings, the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan..." END OF EXCERPT FROM...

So, finally, for United Suckers and Assholes especially here and also abroad, I repeat the following headline and article, the "WEF Emphasizes ME in Shaping Post-Crisis World":

http://www.ameinfo.com/183453.html

And, ALL you are dying and helping to fund it/them!

"WALL STREET COMES TO THE MIDDLE EAST..."

The above headline and Press Release says it all.
Regional offices of the above/following named company, "Wall Street Organization WLL," to be located in Bahrain, the GCC.
And, here's a direct quote from their Press Release, link directly below the quote.
MY emphasis in BOLD type:

"...There are a number of factors pointing to an increase in the use of capital markets by companies, financial institutions and governments in the region. These include: The increasing need for IPOs and secondary offerings by growth companies within the Middle East region. The program of multiple privatizations (notably in the telecom and power sectors) enabling governments to release capital from state-owned assets and giving impetus to deregulation and market liberalization throughout the region..."

Here's what I found on the WSOWLL, seemingly, sole owner and founder, Stephen M. Cole.
In 2006, WSO first established themselves, of course, in Dubai:

http://dubai.mconet.biz/index.php?action=fullnews&id=192773&category=883&category_name=dubai_financial_world

And, here is some background info on Stephen M. Cole, gleaned entirely from secondary sources:

http://www.zoominfo.com/Search/ReferencesView.aspx?PersonID=44675837

And, here's their/his website:

http://www.wallstreetorganization.com/html/index.htm

And alittle something else:

http://www.lead411.com/Company_TheWallStreetOrganization_Cole_35232.html

So, the point being, Middle East state companies and industries, notably, but, not limited to, their centerpiece, Iraq (and Iran) will be liquidated and privatized, financed with the help of US (United Suckers and Assholes) taxpayer dollars and debt.

In turn, (turnabout is fair play), many US and EU assets will themselves either be liquidated and/or repurchased at artificially depressed, bargain basement prices by the very SAME PRIVATE financial interests entering through the back door from abroad, the GCC, in the circular, revolving private capital money-go-round, orchestrated out of the Middle East Switzerland/GCC.

And, the United Suckers and Assholes multi-trillion dollar tax GIFT to help finance private capital do all this, above, does NOT even include the multi-billion dollar additional tax GIFT in the form of military defense spending for our mercenary armies who help to expand private empires abroad and the demise of our own industries.
Another freebie and bonus!

Forget lives and deaths.
I won't bother with that.
That's merely collatoral damage, which does not show up on the bottom line.

This is truly the penultimate racket, wouldn't you agree!!!???

In return, a few paltry, meagre bones are tossed out to the United Assholes and Suckers to keep the dogs from barking too much.

And for the plethora of "high net worth" individuals created from the above scheme, a euphemism for obscene wealth, those who, especially in United Suckers and Assholes Citigroup/Obooma Nazi land, have HELPED to fund and create with their munificent tax and debt GIFTS, bailouts, benefits and military subsidies, a new trust fund will be established, JUST FOR THOSE HIGH NET WORTH folks in Bahrain:

http://www.menafn.com/qn_news_story_s.asp?StoryId=1093231355

As a postscript, the financial institutions bailed out by the United Suckers and Assholes sought to hire low cost foreign workers. Why not? What difference does it make? If they can do the above and get away with it, they can do anything:

http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/090201/bailout_foreign_workers.html

What is to be done??

Their above economic plans must be rendered INOPERABLE, UNGOVERNABLE, NEGATED, HINDERED, THWARTED AND OVERTURNED by each and every tactic possible and all means necessary, from sea to shining sea.

UNITED SUCKERS AND ASSHOLES REFINERY STRIKE, WORLDWIDE PROTESTS

While the entire world from Europe, France, Lithuania, the Baltics, Greece, Bulgaria, Iceland, Russia, Ukraine, Davos Switzerland to Turkey and Pakistan and beyond, too many places for me to enumerate, either engage in ongoing militant strikes, protests, demonstrations, actions and/or topple governments, as in the case of Iceland, NOTHING of the sort happens in the United Suckers and Assholes (USA).

And, by now, you should all know well the reasons why.

And, for an illustrative demonstration of how the above works, or, does not, watch how and what transpires in an upcoming oil workers refinery strike in the USA (United Suckers and Assholes).

When you read the following about pending oil refinery workers strike, note, importantly, the names of the companies involved.

There is one obvious way this situation could be handled, which will never happen, nor be demanded, here, in Obooma/Citigroup's Nazi land of United Suckers and Assholes.

The refineries, not to mention oil and natural resources, can be nationalized, expropriated, converted, made into not-for-profit public utilities, worker operated, managed and controlled.

THIS, not Nazi Obooma's fake stimulus bill for private corporations, is the sort of legislation needed.

But, the "N" word is forbidden, here, in Obooma/Citigroup Nazi land, except when it comes to taxpayer subsidized nationalization of THEIR PRIVATE corporate debt, their profits and overseas expansion.

This is the joke, the farce they call nationalization, the same way "they" talk about "success" in the rape, occupation and plunder of former Baath Arab Party SOCIALIST Iraq.

Has everyone forgotten Muntadar Al-Zaidi and his torture by Iranian/Iraq National Security Advisor, Muwafaq Al-Rubaie.
Do NOT FORGET!
FREE MUNTADAR NOW AND ARREST AL-RUBIAE!!

Every single demonstration and action throughout the globe MUST ALSO DEMAND MUNTADAR'S RELEASE AND RUBAIE'S ARREST.

To return to the United Suckers and Assholes and their oil refinery workers, I can assure you, as you can see when you read the following, the workers will get little, if anything, and it will be a good excuse to curtail employment and unions, especially in an economy which now has an army of millions unemployed from which to pick and choose scabs and replacement workers who are already lined up.

And, of course, the nation of United Suckers and Assholes does NOT have a system of universal, single payer medical insurance.

So, medical insurance coverage and costs are ALWAYS an issue for EVERYONE else AND labor unions, their contracts and negotiations.

But, our Fascist led labor unions NEVER lead or unit the entire country around ANY class issues above.
Just the opposite.
They subvert class unity.

Which is why nothing happens and we get Nazi Obooma/Citigroup.

So, here's the article mentioning the United Suckers and Assholes upcoming oil workers refinery strike.
Like I said, watch it unfold:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Thousands-of-refinery-workers-apf-14216262.html

This time, let's hope I am wrong.

AND, REMEMBER MUNTADAR AL-ZAIDI!!
