We discussed the brainwashing of the Ivy League students before, and here is a humourous YouTube clip to show how some folks need to get a clue, and get away from the brainwashing of the education system:

We interrupt the current vein of world news to bring you this report on our Canadian Junior hockey team. They beat the Russians 6-3 this afternoon, showing incredible composure in the process.
The Russians came out looking to show off their talent and size, and that they did in the early-going of the game. The first period may have ended in a 1-1 tie, but it left plenty to discuss in the Canadian dressing room. We’ve seen the scenario plenty of times before, five Canadian defenders puck chasing, and looking like a team that was about to be terribly outclassed and outperformed. But, there was a tide to swing.
While the Russians had some individual talent, it was mixed in with a propensity to hack and slash – and they served their share of penalties. And, with some of the Russian talent heading into the KHL, memories of wishing Jim Balsillie would bring a KHL franchise to stick it to the NHL came to mind yet again.
Canada, no doubt with the assistance of solid coaching, played the Russian game of old. While the Russians lost composure and played as individuals, the Canadians known as the “blue-collar”, lunch-bucket team, showed more talent than expected, and played with more composure than their young years would suggest. Teamwork was the name of their game, and the tide turned.
They just kept coming at those Ruskies, pulling out the win, and more importantly showing incredible depth and diversity.
With the comfort of confirmation that the underlying principle that hockey is a team game, and not an arena to showcase individual talent, this victory was all the sweeter. Canada is showing coaching and development is at a peak.
Without a doubt, Canada has shown its hockey prowess, and they have proven themselves the team to beat in this year’s tournament.
Suitably, the camera panned the crowd at the end of the game, and the banner read “Hockey: Nothing else matters”.
While we know that is not the case, it does bring us to realize that Canadians enjoy the simple joys of life.
So we must continue to bring it on and off the ice. The juniors to bring home gold, and those of us awake to the bigger global battle, to ensure we continue to enjoy our home and native land!
In the below interview with Max Keiser (maxkeiser.com), Nicole Foss explains to us fellow Canucks that our buck is not immune to the problems others in the world are seeing. We are just at the peak of the bubble, but make no mistake, the bubble will burst:
Canada is on the cusp of the shift from an extreme of complacency born of easy money to the fear of a sudden realization of being desperately over-stretched (“like butter spread over too much bread”, as Bilbo said in The Lord of the Rings). Canadians carry a higher debt load than Americans, as well as using more energy per capita than anyone else in the world (with the worst structural dependency on cheap energy as a result), yet we feel special – insulated from the rest of the world, as if bad things only happen to others. Our bubble is set to implode, as all bubbles eventually do.
Some points from the interview with Keiser:
So Canada, how is it exactly we will come out unscathed?
So, as hyperinflation eventually kicks in for the Americans, it will create a ripple economic tsunami in Canada. What else will happen, according to Mike Maloney (goldsilver.com)? How will the dead cat bounce (Bernanke is dumber than gold)?
Mike says:
The bottom line is hedging against the collapse of the dollar, and rising inflation with real money – gold and silver. That, and food reserves might just save the bacon of your family when the bubble (yes, here in Canada people!) finally hits, and hits hard!
And here is Ron Paul to back this up, that eventually all currencies collapse:

Scary it is!
Everywhere you look, there are ex-Goldman Sachs guys (and gals) in powerful positions – positions of authority, influence, and power.
The argument for hiring these guys has always been that, like a Harvard grad, they are smart, and the doors open for these people.
Or, is that simply an excuse to say that top talent comes from Sachs, when really it is an excuse to put in place those to effect a treasonous agenda. And, like a terrorist cell, could the power be exercised when needed?
I like to use the analogy of a terror cell , as we heard enough of that from George W. Bush shortly after the very iffy 9/11 explanation that it was Al Qaida responsible for the attacks that day. Didn’t it seem a little odd that blame was laid so quickly, the thermite dust hadn’t even settled yet from the pulverized buildings?
And by the way, now would be a good time to suggest you have a look at the recent Conspiracy Theory episode about the Pentagon and 9/11 – good stuff that puts the issue of who is the terrorist and why did the Patriot Act really come into control:
And, in case you missed the original on 9/11, here you go:
Back to Goldman Sachs.
Where there was talk of the financial meltdown, we didn’t have to look far to see that Goldman was right there in the thick of suspicion. The teflon of being a great entity is wearing off as we find more and more underlying corruption associated with Goldman Sachs and their involvment with the derivative scandal.
Remembering back, it was Goldman Sachs that gained large as an investment bank, once it became open season with the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act by Bill Clinton. And who was it that was involved in convincing him? Was it Robert Rubin, and ex-Goldman boy?
Teflon is definitely getting rubbed off I’d say. The reputation of Goldman has taken a major hit. And it is becoming worrisome.
More evidence:
Observers will point to the firm’s near obsessive focus on recruiting, which has seeded its ranks with an enviable roster of talent, ripe for the poaching. They will highlight Goldman’s record of public service over the past six decades, and the succession of leaders who were encouraged to cap off their lucrative Wall Street careers with a stint in government. And of course, they will reference the company’s unparalleled command of risk: In an era where most of its blue-chip peers have been torched by lax lending standards and questionable bets – think Citigroup, Bear Stearns, UBS and Lehman, to name a few – Goldman has emerged with merely a few singes.
All of these factors go some way toward explaining the ascendancy of so many Goldman alumni amid the debris of the credit crisis. Yet the nature of the crisis has also played a role. Much of this disaster was manufactured on Wall Street, and it is here, at the epicentre of the U.S. financial system, that much of the punishment is being meted out. Given the complexity of the products underlying the collapse of the subprime mortgage market and the potential for a devastating domino effect if some of these major banks fail, it’s little surprise that officials in both the public and private sectors have looked to industry experts for help. And where better to turn than the investment bank that managed to sail through the downturn reasonably intact?
Goldman was indeed a “teflon tim” of the banking industry – no blame or responsibility seems to stick.
Suspicion points to the potential explanation for the longevity of the firm – was it skill or advantage? Was it sound business practice based on a terrific talent pool, or was it due to political favoritism, and the effecting of a political agenda? And are we to see the instilling of these ex-Sachs folks as being recruited to finish off their careers in government, or can we look at the careers in Goldman as the training ground for the real job of government positions?
As Jesse Ventura pointed out on the Wall Street episode, why should the bankers effecting the crisis be given bonuses for destroying the lives of Americans? The more damage you do, the bigger the bonus?:
And Jesse Ventura is not the only critic of Goldman Sachs’ role in the destruction of the American economy. Alternative media is rife with support to suggest that Sachs are financial terrorists bent on the destruction of the middle class. Max Keiser is one such expert with roots on Wall Street, and plenty of ammo:
And, note that the crisis is global – Goldman is in thick everywhere.
And Canada, we are not immune. Check out our Bank of Canada Governor’s roots – you got it – Goldman Sachs!
Along with Mr. Paulson, there was Mr. Carney, who had taken up his job as head of Canada’s central bank only a couple of months earlier, and Bank of Italy Governor Mario Draghi, who was a London-based partner at Goldman from 2002 to 2005. Mr. Draghi also leads the influential Financial Services Forum of central bankers and regulators, which spent six months preparing the report that became the basis of the G7′s demands for more transparency by banks and other regulatory changes.
And the article continues to paint a necessary background on the same sh__, different issue when it comes to what can be expected:
The people at Goldman Sachs are not so successful because they are smarter than the rest of us, just a lot more cunning and crooked in many cases and have the audacity to pull off tricks like Mark Carney’s income trust tax, that steals from the poor to line the pockets of the wealthy.
Let’s not kid ourselves Canada. Time to wake up if not already. There is a plan taking effect. The players are taking position. And the one in Canada is already here.

Turkey Lurkey looked up at the sky – “The sky is falling, the sky is falling”. But the others just laughed at Turkey Lurkey. “Go away Turk, the sky isn’t falling, everything is just great!”
Well, that is the mixed feelings I get when I think of all things corruption, all things priority, and the sleeping in Arizona. It has been quite a ride of two extremes – those worried about losing their hockey team, and others worried about losing absolutely everything. And, sad and ironic as it seems, there are those in Arizona that have no clue how bad things are, and fear for the Phoenix Coyotes.
And the biggest question has always been why someone would be interested in taking on the albatross of the Phoenix Coyotes. The team has never turned a profit. Goldwater has always been waiting in the wings to extend their arm to slap a little reality to the collective faces of those that think the Coyotes, somehow, will be the miracles on ice that will somehow make everything better. But, those worried on the bigger scale are probably more worried about tax reform, and trying to do what they can to control foreign interests from taking over not only Arizona, but the entire U.S. . And here comes the head-shaking -
“Come on man, it’n not that bad!” The U.S. has never had a problem. We will be okay. Sure we are going through hard times, but it will get better. The new owner thinks he can turn this team into a profit maker. Yeah, he wants to be able to buy the arena if things don’t work out, but that’s not the motivation here, no. He wants to ensure we get hockey. He wants to ensure Glendale doesn’t have to give up the dream, or end up with the sad little team being treated like any other foreclosure in Arizona.
How’s that working for the residents of Glendale that have been turfed on the street?
Yes, Mayor Scruggs would want to fight for the team, just like any property being foreclosed on:
Giving up on the Coyotes would be like letting a home slide into foreclosure, Scruggs said.
“Think of what that would say to the public if we closed the arena,” she said.
Let’s think for a moment. What would it say to the public, what would it say, hmmmm?
For one, remember when the vote against keeping the Coyotes if it meant concessions was unpopular to the tune of 70% of residents wanting to let the team go?
Or how about this one. Arizona is for sale! That’s right! The whole State is broke as explained by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer:
Even though my Administration has already cut $1 Billion in state government spending, we must redouble our efforts to create a leaner, more fiscally responsible Arizona.I have asked all 90 members in the State Legislature to cooperate by submitting a reasonable plan. On behalf of citizens across our state, I expect them to become active participants in the budget process.
This problem did not happen overnight.
· Five years of spending nearly doubled state government.
· The economic recession has reduced state revenues by almost 40 percent in just 3 years.
· Population growth in school children, university students, health care and welfare populations and inmates in our state prisons has fundamentally ruled out simplistic solutions like rolling the state budget back to levels from five, six, or more years ago.
· Federal and voter mandates prevent us from touching nearly two-thirds of the state budget.
· And procrastination, denial, and lack of will have allowed these problems to fester.
So excuse the people who care more about their State than just hockey in Glendale, Mayor really! Methinks there was a little lease contract that has sold out the City, what do you think? In deep, in tight, in trouble. Does that pretty much sum up the desperation?
Or how about this little issue of part of Arizona now owned by Mexico?:
If you live in southern Arizona now is the time to move if you can. Mexican drug runners and executioners armed with automatic weapons now control three counties stretching from the border to Phoenix.
“We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don’t have the resources here locally to fight this,” admitted Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu during on news conference last week in Casa Grande. “We are three counties deep. How is it that you see pictures like these, not American with semi and fully automatic rifles. How is that okay?”
And by the way, do you think the open borders of Mexico would make it easy for a few terrorists to come on over? Just askin’!:
Earth to Napolitano, I think the sheriff has seen something, and is saying something….hello Janet? Janet, are you there? Yeah, I know it’s not happening in a Wal-Mart store, but give it time. At this rate it will be happening everywhere. I think we can see where the problem lies Janet – open borders Janet – close the borders. That is, unless this is the beginning of the North American Union, and each citizen pitted against his fellow (innocent) citizen. And let’s not forget the immunity the drug lords have as they wield their semi-automatic rifles. Right on – we must be watching the Wal-Mart shoppers – so much more important.
Did I hear Turkey Lurkey? Never mind, that’s okay, just keep wondering how losing your hockey team will look! That is so much more important.
And then we have the new soap opera that has been played out over (has it been over a year already??) – “As the Coyotes Turn”.
It may be really easy to promise a long term commitment when things are going south so fast, who knows how long, “long” really will be.
And we haven’t forgotten the words previously told by those in the hedge fund business. A “distressed asset” is often a good buying opportunity.
But, don’t forget, there are those that do this with no alterior motive, and love to give their money away into perpetuity. The turnip truck? The line forms to the left…
Scruggs, who would not say whether the city planned to pledge money to the team, pointed out that Hulsizer told reporters this week that he was prepared to suffer losses on the team for “quite a while.”
Who are the hedge men in this scenario? Anybody? Anybody? Hint: all the boys drooling over the “business reasons” for owning the hockey team, that we must remember was a “business reason”, and one where it was commented that “who wants to go to a game in Phoenix anyways?”. Figure it out yet? There’s profit potential somewhere – but where? Could it be? No! Couldn’t be about more than hockey? No! Nor could it be what David Zirin described to us before – rich guys taking a sweet little taxpayer deal, and sucking what wealth is left. No, couldn’t be that!
You might also want to divert your tunnel vision to what could be the biggest problem, that (and I will use Mr. Bettman’s words here) will make this little hockey diversion “pale in comparison”.
My hunch is there is work and business opportunities in Arizona. The only question is, is it what the residents of Phoenix and Glendale think?
The fire sale has just begun!

It is important to first look at the root of the JP Morgan stance on Naked shorts in the silver market. It is also important to realize the degree of manipulation and fraud that, as claimed, makes Bernie Madoff look like a guy that stole a cookie from the cookie jar. The jar filled to the brim, and the bigger players in the manipulation of markets ready to take the bulk of the profits.
Here is an excellent overview of the JP Silver issue:
JP Morgan would signal traders as to when to short the market, paving way for massive profits off the backsides of the innocent investors. Andrew Maguire, the whistleblower, sent a series of emails to the CFTC (Commodity and Futures Trading Commission). He waited to get confirmation that was slow to come, and ended in a one-liner reply from the CFTC thanking him for his observations.
Maguire and his wife were almost run down by a hit and run driver shortly after.
Luckily, King World News did a follow-up radio show.
And now the news of today.
After much pressure and negative publicity, JP Morgan has been “quietly” reducing its short position, that it claims was not at the direction or urging of the CFTC or other authorities:
And in what can only be considered an unprecedented victory for all those who have over the past year agitated to putting JP Morgan out of business, most recently spearheaded by the likes of Mike Krieger and Max Keiser, by forcing a massive short squeeze on its commodities trading desk, we learn that “the decision by JPMorgan was an attempt to deflect public criticism of the bank’s dealings in silver, a person familiar with the matter said.” The person added that the bank’s position in silver would from now on be “materially smaller” than in the past.”
This could be the start of the upward trend in silver prices, as the historical ratio to gold might yet again be reached. And at 16:1, that would mean that at the very least, silver should be priced in the $80 to $100 per oz. range. But that is not taking account that gold has also been suppressed.
As a reflection of the gold standard, as quantitative easing injects more money into existence, the ratio of fiat U.S. currency to physical gold increases. Eventually that will change. And, as more people lose confidence in the U.S. dollar, there will be an impending stampede in all money that is real.
What is disturbing of the admission of JP Morgan is what it might ultimately represent in the timing of the globalists push to world government. Is the crash imminent? Do we have much time?
Economics 101 – that is the schooling that John Williams, a seasoned economist with shadowstats.com brought to the table in the clip below, on BNN (Business News Network).
It is too bad the clip did not continue as the hosts discussed the fact that other experts they had on “essentially said the same thing” on numerous occasions. Funny - that comment didn’t make the video cut for the website version.
A bit of a further shot was given in commentary to suggest that it could be looked at like a broken clock – at least it’s right “twice a day”. Oh, how the ignorance runs rampant!
John Williams was too good for the narrow focus of financial propaganda promoted by this channel. They couldn’t shine his shoes when it comes to the greater understanding of the disaster known as the U.S. and world economies . Williams doesn’t belong on the same show. Now, on non-mainstream truth facers, that’s another story. Got to admire Williams for his sense of humor despite the ignorance though. I guess he’s used to it.
I have watched BNN for the past several days, drifting in and out to listen to what can best be described as “making sure they don’t bite the hand that feeds them”. After all, if truth be known, who would be left to put advertising dollars in the hands of BNN?
The body language and the way the commentators react to Mr. Williams was not very respectful in my opinion, I don’t know how you will see it. But credit must be given where credit is due.
To throw out the fact that Paul Volcker (aka the “Volcker rule” famously brought up in these times) helped correct the last round of inflation does not take into account the big picture.
To excuse the current financial crisis on an explanation that the powers that be have made mistakes leading into this global financial meltdown is quite frankly ridiculous. They knew exactly what they were doing all along from the inception of the Federal Reserve System, through the derivatives scandal, and on and on. We are simply seeing the result.
To put merit in Ben Bernanke’s confidence that he can handle inflation at the time Bernanke has said “deflation” is the issue is in dire question. Bernanke was on record as saying that there was no housing bubble or derivative crisis too. How accurate has he been? Bernanke works for the globalists looking to strip the rights and wealth of the people, and ship that to the bankers and private investors offshore.
Perhaps the hosts of BNN should YouTube “Jesse Ventura Conspiracy Theory” on episodes like the FEMA Camps, reportedly 800 strong throughout the U.S. Camps designed to house the growing number of disgruntled as food riots take over in the future.
Perhaps they should also look up trend experts such as Gerald Celente (Trends Research Insitute),
Max Keiser (maxkeiser.com), Webster Tarpley (tarpley.net), and others such as Paul Craig Roberts, and Lindsey Williams. The list goes on and on. The experts that are in the “true know” goes on and on and on. Unemployment is reportedly at 9.8%. True unemployment is likely in the 22% range when you include those that have given up, and have dropped off the employment grid for over a year. That represents a truer picture, one not likely to be admitted, but explained well by Williams way back in January 2009.
In short, Williams has made a career out of analyzing U.S. statistics that have fallen by the wayside to bring the bigger, uglier truth.
But that wouldn’t pay the bills at BNN? Or would it? Would it be refreshing to see the real news more often, without the spin of bringing in the pessimists for no better reason that to mock them, or use them to psychologically force the desire for the viewers to want to look the other way (wait for the laugh)? Phew, at least BNN will bring us the truth, eh? Have a look….
And according to another source worth getting schooled by, ZeroHedge.com, here is their analysis of the Williams interview:
Any interview that starts off with John Williams saying “Eventually it is going to be a hyperinflationary great depression” is sure to be controversial. While not necessarily news to those who subscribe to the Shadowstats.com editor’s newsletter, sometime we wish that Blackhawk Ben was among them, because despite his 100% confidence that rates will never do the kind of move that they exhibited in the past two days, they, well, did. To quote Williamss, who actually keeps track of the US economy as if it were a GAAP audited corporation: “The annual deficit is running $4-5 trillion a year, that includes the Y/Y change in the NPV of unfunded liabilities… There is no political will to deal with this.” The catalyst is well-known: “When you see panic selling of the US dollar, that’s when you have to be really careful. But what’s already been done with the dollar has spiked oil prices, and other commodity prices.” On the question of why Bernanke would not be able to pull off what Volcker did in the early 1980s, Williams’ explanation for why this time it is different, mostly focuses on the size of the US trade and budget deficits, which are not even remotely comparable on both an absolute and relative basis. Most specifically what consumers should do in the post-apocalypse world, Williams is not too optimistic. Ironically, he notes that Zimbabwe in its hyperinflation may have been lucky in that it had the dollar to fall back on in the black market, and now every market. However the US does not have that facility, and this “will get very difficult when food starts disappearing from shelves.” Having goods for storage and barter would be critical.
In the words of someone I admired very much, “it’s time to dummy up”!

A report in recent Canadian News had Andre Marin, Ontario’s Ombudsman saying the G20 fiasco in Toronto “amounted to Martial Law”.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty refused to acknowledge the violation on civil liberties, and explained it this way:
But McGuinty rejected Marin’s assertion that what his government did behind closed doors on June 2 was “illegal” and “likely unconstitutional.”
The Ontario Premier’s allegiances are in dire question already, and the way he handled the G20 security issues is not surprising. McGuinty was seen to be showing great attention to the Queen on her later visit to Canada, and he has pushed for all day kindergarten for children as young as four, a hallmark sign an Orwellian state is being implemented.
Assessing the strategy and planning for the G20 can vary by how one views the big picture. If it were merely to protect the banking representatives it went overboard, but if it were to stir the crowd, conditioning them for the future the new world order it was right on target. It might best be described as living up to the globalists’ expectations. There is an obvious pattern at the G20 summits of the past (including Pittsburgh) which paints a picture of an agenda to condition the people to get used to abuse and violation of their rights. I wouldn’t buy the argument that there were mistakes made in letting people know.
The bombshell reasoning for such tight security was the police request for assistance, as McGuinty explained:
“The government was acting on a request from police to deal with possible terrorist threats at the G20 summit and even the ombudsman said its motives were good, McGuinty noted.
“He said that we acted with good intentions, that the police came to us and said: ‘We need your help. We’re going to be hosting the G20 and there are possibly the top 20 terrorist targets on the face of this planet coming together in one city,” the premier said.
Apologies are in order. I thought the police were saying the top 20 terrorists would be at the G20 meetings in the crowd. What they meant was that the “targets” were the bank representatives. Well, if they are suggesting the bankers would be terrorist targets, who are they suggesting the terrorists would be?
It would seem that everyone was suspect.
Journalists were mistreated as well as innocent civilians. Known political activists that were attempting to cross the border from the U.S. representing the organization, We are Change were not allowed to enter Canada. The police targeted Charlie Veitch from England, and he was arrested and charged with impersonating an officer.
Veitch was simply doing his usual humorous rants with bullhorn, and calling himself the “Love Police”. When arrested, Veitch explained on video that the police knew who he was, and they commented that they had a real live dissident on their hands.
During the Bilderberg Group meetings in Ottawa in 2006, Alex Jones was similarly mistreated, being detained for several hours, and having his computer system checked.
I think we can see that either the G20 leaders and their handlers are sending a message that is clear that to protest the new world as controlled by bankers you will pay the price. The event was a mere show of power.
To believe a true terrorist would use the G20, and be part of the crowd is laughable. After all, it is often those accused as being public enemy number one that get the best treatment, and are “in on the joke”. Especially since:
Al-Qaeda terror mastermind Anwar Al-Awlaki, the man who helped plot the aborted Christmas Day bombing, the Fort Hood shooting, the Times Square bombing attempt, and who also preached to the alleged September 11 hijackers, dined at the Pentagon just months after 9/11 documents obtained by Fox News show.
The supposed “real terrorists” are treated like royalty, because this is all just a game. The real terrorists most times are CIA operatives, or patsies drugged out of their heads like the underwear bomber on Christmas day. The real terrorists are an excuse to instigate right-stripping laws like the Patriot Act in the U.S. that now has videos at U.S. Wal-Mart stores urging people to look for anything suspicious.
It has widely been argued by Max Keiser and others that it is the bankers on Wall Street who are the true “financial terrorists”, responsible for the collapse of global economies the world over. A systematic destruction and ponzi scheme of derivative make believe turned real. The banks that are broke, desperately seeking comfort via the IMF and World Bank to go after all real assets including the pension plans of the working citizens of the world.
Thus, real terrorism is being reined on by the governments of the world on its citizens.
With as many as 800 FEMA camps reported on shows like Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, someone should remind the American government who was accused of the events of 9/11. Here’s a hint: It wasn’t the current target – the American population. It seems the lack of memory extended itself not long after 9/11.
Fox News has shown us how the true terrorists are treated:
Conditioning or protection?
Either way, they must think we are completely stupid and terribly uninformed!
