...even if you have to fabricate it.
Yes, the very West, the Anglo-Sphere in particular, that brought us this "wonderful" Crisis, built upon lies, deceptions and fabrications, is at it again!
The theme now is: recovery is here, or at least just around the corner.
To that end, the elite controlled Anglo media has its marching orders: no more bad news. Why the unproclaimed leader of the so called "free" world: Barrack Obama, has even gone on a charm campaign, backed up by the smiling mugs of the rest of the bankrupt G7. No more dire news about failing banks, no more words on inflation, on failed and pointless bailouts. No more on collapsing provinces and states, bankrupt like some third world failed nation states. No more about abandoned neighborhoods as house after house is retaken by banks and the paper that backed their loans continues to go bad and destroy the retirement of tens of millions or maybe even hundreds of millions around the world. No, not a word about factory after factory, store after store disappearing.
No, this is a confidence game, dear readers, and like any such schemes, good news and trust in a bright future, not in economic principles, even when hurricane winds are blowing, is essential. So the Western corporate media, the hand maidens of the new Marxist police states, have scrubbed the world clean, or at least the news of the world, and not just at home, but abroad too.
Sure, there are still lots of exaggerated horror tales about our Holy Russia, by the two bit "think" tanks struggling for legitimacy. But even now, as the burning ceiling is falling down around the ears of the majority of the G7's leaders, they have to point at someone and say: "See, we're not like them (Russia). They're a disaster", even as the reality is quite reverse.
Gone is news of mass unemployment and mass unrest in China and India. Even China's bogus financial statistics are now touted as God's own truth. Gone is news of continuing rioting and unrest in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary and others. Gone is anything that smacks of reality of the world wide crisis and only smiling, happy, lieing faces can be shown. But if the Western public does get suspicious that things are not that great, there is always Pakistan and the Swine Flu o drive attention away from the storm that keeps on blowing in. Even the continued staggering growth of unemployment, in the West, is given a rosy shine.
All of this, of course, is done to keep the public silent. To keep them paying their taxes, eating their spam and paying the pointless mortgages they can never hope to afford, as their earnings actually decrease in the face of continued inflation. Most importantly, it is done to keep the guilty in power, the people who helped or orchestrated this disaster have no intent of leaving or answering for this: ineptitude does not go away.
But lets look at reality: the US economy has continued its collapse, at a fast clip. Housing prices continue their drive down: Phoenix Arizona has reached 50%, much higher then during the Great Depression. England, with an historic interest rate of 0% is right behind, while its pensioners, counting on their earnings from savings are in desperate straights. Job losses, even by messaged numbers of the US government, are staggering at some half a million in one month, just in April. That is half a MILLION more people unable to pay loans, taxes or buy things or for that matter produce any kinds of wealth but instead will be consuming resources in unemployment benefits. Factories and stores continue to evaporate, even as 46 American states are effectively bankrupt. All, it should be noted, continue to sell their debt to the rest of the world. The same can be said for the UK, Spain, Ireland and others.
Both of the Anglo powers have nationalized heir banking systems and continue to nationalize one industry after another, even if they are to cowardly to call it that. Hugo Chavez is a mild leftist in comparison to these Marxists.
Most all are printing money, in massive amounts. The storm of inflation prepares to come ashore and crush the already weakened economies. However, that debt they have sold and continue to try to sell to us, will become worthless. Yet another extended theft from the West. But why tell the truth?
Japan is in full depression, loosing more industrial output between Oct and Dec 2008 then most nations lost in all of the Great Depression. Shanty towns, something not seen since post World War II, are a common day sight, now. Germany is also suffering, its economy is in decline. Germans, at least, are not printing money and they are under no illusions on where to lay the blame for their misery. Their voices, on the Anglo-Sphere dominated international media, are silenced.
Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania are dead economies and governments, soon to be joined by Hungary, Greece, Ukraine, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and Pakistan. Surely there will be at least one civil war, if not a multi-state war, from all this collapse and misery. Yet nothing is said, nothing that would alarm the peasants.
So is the future bright? Hardly, the worst is yet to come. However, the lies of today will come back to haunt the G7 much worse, as any remaining hope is crushed by a reality that will not retreat and can only be covered up and the public is finally forced to come to terms with that reality: a situation they still hope to avoid.

World War 2, the Debate Goes On
It has been 64 years since the end of the Great Patriot War, better known in the West and the rest of the world as World War 2, but the debate over the victory and its debasement has never been stronger or more ruthlessly waged. It is time to set things straight.
First we will work through the favorite Myths that the West loves to use against Russia.
Myth 1: Poland was the first victim of the Nazi and Soviet regimes.
First of all, let us set the stage on Poland. Between 1918 and 1924, Poland invaded all of its neighbors with the exception of Germany. It was an aggressor before it even became a fascist state, in the military coup of 1926, which made it, after Italy, Europe's 2nd fascist state. Poland invaded Ukraine twice, first against the nationalists and then against the Soviets. It also invaded Belarus and took from it and Ukraine the western provinces that were then reoccupied by the Soviet Union post Poland's fall to Germany in 1939. Poland also invaded Lithuania capturing and holding Tallinn. It invaded Czechoslovakia but was beaten back. Finally it invaded and captured several key villages around Danzig, which were in neutral League of Nations enclaves.
During the wars in Ukraine, the Poles massacred somewhere between 500,000 and 1.5 million Russian POWs that they had taken.
Poland further ran concentration camps for Orthodox Christians, while it burned them out of its Ukrainian and Belarus provinces, since they refused to convert to Catholicism. Thus it is no surprise that Poland had no qualms about backing and allying with Hitler in 1937 and 1938 when the Nazis moved to dissect Czechoslovakia. Hitler, in the Munich Conference of 1938, represented not only Germany's claims on the Sudetenland but also land claims of Hungary and Poland. The falling out came when Hitler demanded that Poland should now join him in his crusade against the Soviets. Being sated, the Poles saw no reason to wage war on their borders and refused. Thus Hitler's drive for revenge.
It should further be noted that it was Polish nationalists who ran the concentration camps in which tens of thousands of German civilians died in 1946.
Myth 2. The War Turned On the Normandy Invasion
Easiest to disprove. By the time the Western Allies landed in Normandy, the Red Army sat on the Vistula in Poland and were 100km inside of Romania, having just destroyed the German 6th Army for a second time (first being Stalingrad).
Myth 3. The Main Fighting was on the Western Front
While not to disparage the veterans and the dead who fought at Normandy, Americans point to the 10,000 or so dead they took as a giant sacrifice. Of course this is ridiculous by the standards of the Patriot War. On Mamayev Kurgan, the hill overlooking Stalingrad (Volgograd), over which both sides fought for 2 months, had 60,000 bodies littering it, about half from each side. That is, those were the bodies that were not buried to deep by artillery, to find.
It is a simple fact that 8 out of 10 German casualties, most of the Hungarian casualties, half of the Italian casualties, all of the Spanish (yes they sent the Blue Division), Finnish, Romanian, Bulgarian and many of the Croatian casualties were on the Eastern (Russian) Front. Simply put, the West never had the stomach for the casualties that were taken by all sides of the Eastern Front, but it has no whims, especially through Hollywood, to try to steal the credit that was earned in rivers of blood.
Myth 4. The Red Army committed mass suffering upon the German population, while the West treated them well.
Of the eight million German civilians who died during World War 2 (8 million compared to 20 million Soviet civilians), 6 million died from US/UK bombs, as the two systematically incinerated each and every single German city in a drive to exterminate the population. How many additional civilians died from direct fighting and artillery bombardments, on the Western Front, is unknown. It should be noted that in 1943 there was a lively debate in America about the whole scale extermination of the German race, which was seen as to barbaric to live along side with.
Bombings would come in 3 waves, first with iron bombs, in which one in four had a variable timer detonator that could explode upto a week or month or longer later to kill returning civilians. Once lots of ruble was created, phosphate fire bombing started. A fire storm was created that would reach up to 6km into the air, sucking oxygen out of bunkers or incinerating the civilians hiding, from the heat of the fire storm. Finally a wave of anti-personal bombs to catch fleeing civilians, fire crews and medical staffs. These would continue for upto three or four days over an individual city.
Then there are the million or so German troops who died in open fields, under the elements, after surrendering to US and French forces. Instead of POW camps, they were taken to open fields, surrounded by wire and left to freeze. Others were worked to death. This continued well into 1946.
Besides this, there are the issues of mass rapes of Italian civilians by British colonial troops, who decided to sow their seed anywhere they landed in Europe.
Myth 5: America won the war against the Japanese almost single handedly.
Outside of the fact that British, Australian, French, Danish and Indian forces tied down over a third of the Japanese army both on the islands and throughout SE Asia, through out the duration of the war, an accomplishment, without which the US victories on the islands would have been impossible.
The Chinese also tied down a huge amount of Japanese forces, as well as various local tribal contingents, who did their part.
However, Japan's biggest defeats were from the Russian army. That's right, these were no Iwo Jimas where some 30 or 40 thousands Japanese were holed up on an island and surrounded from all sides. The battles in 1939 and again in 1945 defeated two full Japanese armies in Manchuka (Manchuria) and paved first for the Japanese southern drive in 1939, thus allowing for the halting of Hitler's drive on Moscow in 1941 and then collapsed the Japanese mainland war effort with the defeat of some 500,000 Japanese forces in Manchuria.
Though these myths are insulting and invasive upon the real history of that great tragedy, it is the total revisionism of the war by several EU nations that is most disturbing. In the Baltics, there is absolute revisionism, creating heroes out of the murderers of the Nazi regime. This is not some fringe movement, but one financed and backed by the local governments.
Then there is the US/EU puppet in Ukraine, Yushinko, who openly praises the western Ukrainian SS auxiliaries as national heroes. There must be some Jews and Orthodox Christians left in Lvov some where, getting Yushinko's blood into a rage.
Similar issues have come up in Croatia, Hungary and recently in Moldova, with Romanian support.
It is time to take the many excellent Russian movies about the Patriotic War and translate them into English, German and French and launch them into the West. Maybe the knowledge will help the West avoid the same mistakes as of 64 years ago.

NATO's Future is In Russia's Hands
NATO a hodgepodge organization of states in Europe, Asia (Turkey) and North America who have no overall mission, the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact long dead, are a fragile institution with many short comings for the members and gains only for the Anglo Sphere.
Since the Soviet collapse, NATO (US/UK and their European military bureaucratic puppets in Brussels) have been bereft of reasons for existence. They started by expanding, like a dieing red giant star, growing and growing, sucking the life out of others, while rotting internally non-the-less. The Anglos pushed NATO into the Yugoslav civil wars, wars that can be argued were started with soft power interventions by the members of NATO, in the first place.
However this was short lived, thus the God send of the War on Terror. It was a God send on three accounts:
1. It allowed NATO to continue to justify its existence to the majority of its members, even as the Anglo-Sphere's drive towards destruction of Russia, never stopped. Many of the other members of NATO were less then happy with this hidden agenda, but the terror of 11 September and other incidents, allowed them to look the other way and continue to support the Frankenstein in their midst.
2. It allowed continued expansion of NATO and NATO partnership programs, most of whom seem to have happened to be the countries on Russia's periphery.
3. It allowed America and to a lesser extent, the UK lap dogs, to continue building on the one industry that America still has a monopoly on: weapons systems. NATO runs on, first and foremost, American weapons and like the Soviet Union of old, the only real industries America still has is weapons and heavy equipment. It is a power that can not fully cloth its people, can not provide them with furniture to sit on or even a television to watch. It can not sustain itself with oil and gas and it can not even finance itself without every third world hell hole being a creditor to the world's best armed pauper state.
So, seeing all this, it was no surprise that the Anglo-Sphere, with the rest of NATO in toe, rushed into Afghanistan, the biggest Western folly since the 1940s.
Of course, with the usual Anglo-Sphere ideology driving every endeavor, two things have developed that have firmly put NATO's future in Russia's hands and will in the end destroy the last best chance for Anglo-Sphere domination of Europe and Asia:
1. Pakistan. Not satisfied with only a half controlled vassal, in the form of Masheriff, the Anglos brought about the end of his reign and placed on the throne a gaggle of true puppets. Inexplicably, in the year that has followed, Pakistan has hurtled towards an absolute collapse and with it the main supply route to NATO's legions in Afghanistan. Inadvertently, NATO is now absolutely dependent on Russia for the supply of its forces.
While, the ability to move forces, particularly personnel, by air, will preclude the NATO legions facing the fate of the First British Expedition to Afghanistan, the images of NATO forces abandoning equipment and scrambling to get out of a cut off, land locked and over run Afghanistan, will absolutely spell the doom of NATO. It will be a moral blow no less deadly to the present system then the fall of Berlin was to National Socialism.
2. Georgia. The NATO backed genocidal dictatorial regime that launched yet another bought of genocide against its minorities and was slapped down by Russia, has continued to hold power. Beyond all reason, NATO has continued to back the dictator, declaring his opposition as radicals. True some are, but the majority are from Monarchistic, Republican, Conservative and Christian Democratic parties. These are now radicals? People who call on the government to allow media freedom, an economy free of government terror and black mail and an end to effective one party rule, are now, to the Anglo-Sphere and their European NATO lackeys, a radical movement. But then again, the constitutionalist Ron Paul was called a radical in America. Why should anyone be surprised.
As such, NATO has continued to quickly rearm the Georgians and to prop them up in Georgia's blind hope to regain its former territories and, as goes unmentioned in the absolutely controlled Anglo press, exterminate those peoples who live there. Of course Georgia will launch its war and of course the weight of Russia will crush it, again, and will not stop, this time, until Tbilisi.
NATO's reaction will lead to one of two ends, neither good for it or its Anglo masters: it will either do nothing, the more likely effect, and finish off the coffin on any confidence in would-be vassal states surrounding Russia. Or, if has truly gone insane, always a distinct possibility, it will react militarily. Not only will large scale casualties result in this, but Russia will instantly close off all routes to Afghanistan and will be in an equally powerful position to make an air rescue extremely difficult at best and impossible at worst.
Either way, NATO has its head firmly in the Russian noose and is busy spitting in the Russian eye, non-the-less. Yet, ignoring this most obvious truth, NATO continues to treat with Russia on a basis of: What is ours is ours and what is yours is negotiable but eventually will be ours.

Swine Flu, The Terror of the Unknown
When it comes to the mention of the Swine Flu, worry, confusion and even terror comes to the faces of those questioned. Why should it not, when what we know is far out weighed by the unknown and potentially deadly.
To begin with, why was WHO involved in a seemingly mild outbreak from the very first? Was it because they knew something far worse and deadly was already moving? There are reports in Mexico that the first infections actually started as far back as March. If that is the fact and WHO was already involved, why were there no quarentens on the areas affected, back then? Why the wait, until the disease broke forth into the general Mexican population?
Equally, there is the disease itself. Four different viruses from three different animals all in one. True, when a virus infects a cell, it picks up bits of DNA that are floating around, that is how this non living entity mutates as it goes from host to host. Of course, to mix four viruses, one human, two swine and one avian, in one subject, is an astronomically tiny chance, especially when one of those swine viruses is from Asia. To this effect, the Dallas Co. Medical Director, Dr. John Carlo stated “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified".
The complexity of this flu, one that combines the worst of all four, the, human element of which allows it to pass much more easily from person to person and the avian nature of which allows it to kill off those with the healthiest immune systems by over loading those immune systems and flooding the lungs with fluids, while the swine portion finishes off the old and young, has given the flu a 5-10% kill rate. To make a comparison, the usual yearly human flu has a kill rate of .1%, while the Spanish Flu had a kill rate of 1% and an infection rate of 50%. If one does the straight math of 5% death and 50% infection rate, the US can expect 7.5 million dead in a matter of 3-5 months, following the Spanish Flu model of 16 major weeks of infection before it started to burn out. If Mexico, with a much worse medical system, takes up 10%, as a max rate and a 50% infection rate, it will suffer some 5.5 million casualties.
Other issues are of course raised from the known facts:
First: while there have been many infections in the US, both proven and suspected are more then likely well over a thousand, the only fatality so far was a Mexican child. The question of course is: why are Mexicans dieing while other races, even other Hispanics, seem to get only a much milder form? Is this due to the lack of Mexican medical facilities and the state of the slums around Mexico City and other major Mexican cities? Is the virus some how "preprogrammed" to specific genotypes? If the virus is laboratory created, this last point can not be out right excluded, as modern technology quite easily lends itself to such possibilities.
Next is the question that any ration person, especially one living right next door to Mexico, in the USA, must be asking: why, unlike the whole of the world, is the US government doing absolutely nothing to safe guard the people, outside of a few empty words. Is the worry over profits from a cut back in trade, so strong that protection of the people is ignored? Are the authorities so ignorant that they will not contemplate the costs in lives of this epidemic? Or is there something worse, some plan that requires the American public to be an epicenter of infection? What social impacts will this have upon the growing discontent with an already oppressive and all encompassing governmental regime?
Then there is the question of what social and economic effects this will have, especially in the long run. With an already chronically ill US and European economy, what effect will this have? Trade with the US is already being cut, with swine products being banned in Russia, Japan and other nations. This will drive farmers out of business in massive quantities, in the US, a market where consumers are cutting back on meat, due to lack of income. Further, even if this is a mild viral infection for most Americans, Hispanics included, the major illness rate, with millions staying home, will have a major impact on the economy, driving even more firms into bankruptcy, as employees do not show up and shoppers avoid stores and thus purchases. Upcoming travel bans will also have major effects upon tourist destinations just as tourism season starts.
Of course the major pharma companies, especially the American ones, must be rejoicing, as this is a golden opportunity for them that they could only have dreamed about.
In Mexico, a land already wracked by a major civil war with drug cartels, where the two main cartels, out of some dozen different cartels, have enough military force to openly challenge the Mexican military, this added burden and the shut down of the economy, will more then likely put the collapse of the nation into over drive. The world can expect a Mexican collapse by summer's end. If, once anarchy spreads, Mexican gunmen take the model of the Somalis, they could all but shut down, at least temporarily, oil production and trade through the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands. The cost of reopening both will be quite a high cost addition.
So, while the tiny bits of information are repeated and repeated in an endless stream of non-information and key issues are ignored, by passed or withheld from the population, the effects of the virus are already taking place, whether the world realizes it or not.
To begin with, why was WHO involved in a seemingly mild outbreak from the very first? Was it because they knew something far worse and deadly was already moving? There are reports in Mexico that the first infections actually started as far back as March. If that is the fact and WHO was already involved, why were there no quarentens on the areas affected, back then? Why the wait, until the disease broke forth into the general Mexican population?
Equally, there is the disease itself. Four different viruses from three different animals all in one. True, when a virus infects a cell, it picks up bits of DNA that are floating around, that is how this non living entity mutates as it goes from host to host. Of course, to mix four viruses, one human, two swine and one avian, in one subject, is an astronomically tiny chance, especially when one of those swine viruses is from Asia. To this effect, the Dallas Co. Medical Director, Dr. John Carlo stated “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified".
The complexity of this flu, one that combines the worst of all four, the, human element of which allows it to pass much more easily from person to person and the avian nature of which allows it to kill off those with the healthiest immune systems by over loading those immune systems and flooding the lungs with fluids, while the swine portion finishes off the old and young, has given the flu a 5-10% kill rate. To make a comparison, the usual yearly human flu has a kill rate of .1%, while the Spanish Flu had a kill rate of 1% and an infection rate of 50%. If one does the straight math of 5% death and 50% infection rate, the US can expect 7.5 million dead in a matter of 3-5 months, following the Spanish Flu model of 16 major weeks of infection before it started to burn out. If Mexico, with a much worse medical system, takes up 10%, as a max rate and a 50% infection rate, it will suffer some 5.5 million casualties.
Other issues are of course raised from the known facts:
First: while there have been many infections in the US, both proven and suspected are more then likely well over a thousand, the only fatality so far was a Mexican child. The question of course is: why are Mexicans dieing while other races, even other Hispanics, seem to get only a much milder form? Is this due to the lack of Mexican medical facilities and the state of the slums around Mexico City and other major Mexican cities? Is the virus some how "preprogrammed" to specific genotypes? If the virus is laboratory created, this last point can not be out right excluded, as modern technology quite easily lends itself to such possibilities.
Next is the question that any ration person, especially one living right next door to Mexico, in the USA, must be asking: why, unlike the whole of the world, is the US government doing absolutely nothing to safe guard the people, outside of a few empty words. Is the worry over profits from a cut back in trade, so strong that protection of the people is ignored? Are the authorities so ignorant that they will not contemplate the costs in lives of this epidemic? Or is there something worse, some plan that requires the American public to be an epicenter of infection? What social impacts will this have upon the growing discontent with an already oppressive and all encompassing governmental regime?
Then there is the question of what social and economic effects this will have, especially in the long run. With an already chronically ill US and European economy, what effect will this have? Trade with the US is already being cut, with swine products being banned in Russia, Japan and other nations. This will drive farmers out of business in massive quantities, in the US, a market where consumers are cutting back on meat, due to lack of income. Further, even if this is a mild viral infection for most Americans, Hispanics included, the major illness rate, with millions staying home, will have a major impact on the economy, driving even more firms into bankruptcy, as employees do not show up and shoppers avoid stores and thus purchases. Upcoming travel bans will also have major effects upon tourist destinations just as tourism season starts.
Of course the major pharma companies, especially the American ones, must be rejoicing, as this is a golden opportunity for them that they could only have dreamed about.
In Mexico, a land already wracked by a major civil war with drug cartels, where the two main cartels, out of some dozen different cartels, have enough military force to openly challenge the Mexican military, this added burden and the shut down of the economy, will more then likely put the collapse of the nation into over drive. The world can expect a Mexican collapse by summer's end. If, once anarchy spreads, Mexican gunmen take the model of the Somalis, they could all but shut down, at least temporarily, oil production and trade through the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands. The cost of reopening both will be quite a high cost addition.
So, while the tiny bits of information are repeated and repeated in an endless stream of non-information and key issues are ignored, by passed or withheld from the population, the effects of the virus are already taking place, whether the world realizes it or not.

Will The Swine Flu Lead to An American Revolt?
As the new epidemic spreads quickly from Mexico and onto the world, nations of the world are scrambling to protect their populations, that is, all nations but the United States.
In Japan and China, no one is allowed off of planes from Mexico who has not been fully medically checked. Russia and others are banning pork imports and watching closely anyone who has recently flown in from Mexico or the United States. Other governments have followed suit, that is, other governments but America's.
The United States, who shares the longest border with Mexico, over 3,000km, and has a huge illegal population of Mexicans crossing over that porous border, almost at will. One would think that a government that placed the well being of its people, one this close to ground zero, in what may soon be a worse killer plague then the Spanish Flu of 1918, would do whatever it could and can to seal its borders. That is as far from the truth as can be.
Instead, the United States has taken the “stringent” step of asking people how they feel, though even if they say they have a fever, does not mean they do not get to get in, in fact they do. Instead they are given a flier that warns of the dangers of Swine Flu. At the airports, there are no checks, no questions and obviously sick people are allowed in. In other words, the US government has done everything possible to make sure that the flu epidemic spreads into America and spreads very quickly.
Now, of course, there are billions of dollars at stake for the owners of the United States, in their illegal use of Mexican illegal labor, the importation of incredible amounts of drugs and other less then respectful or lawful uses of the Mexicans. As this plague in Mexico spreads, waves of Mexican refugees will begin to stream north, trying to escape and inadvertently spreading the disease further out.
In previous surveys, it was shown that well over 85% of the population, of all political affiliations, wanted their border closed and illegal aliens, primarily from Mexico, forced out. This included many of Mexican descent, themselves. Both branches of the One Party Two Branch government refused to even consider a real closure and instead formed a closer union with the authorities of Mexico, who were themselves busy encouraging their poor, unemployed, as well as criminal elements, to migrate north.
There are several competing theories on the edge now, of why nothing in any serious way is done to control this outbreak. One, the more benign theory, if one can call it thus, is that the government, which has designs on restricting the American medical system into a whole socialist enterprise, as it has effectively begun in doing with the automobile and financial systems, is creating the perfect situation to fully bankrupt an already strained and struggling American (and isn’t everything American strained and struggling these days?) medical system. Tens of millions of people, especially amongst the blighted poor, pouring into the American hospitals will lead to bailouts and direct government control of the infrastructure, faster then you can say: gazoontite.
The less benign theory points toward a crisis of such monumental intensity, coupled with every thing else, that a full and eminent collapse could and would easily lend itself to a full, military backed government take over along with a full suspension of the civilian authority, with the exception of Barack Obama, of course and his chenovniks, of course.
Couple this with an already weak economy, that will suffer severely with the continued outbreak of this pandemic; an insane debt that is skyrocketing daily; increasing taxation; government control over everyday life and an unemployment rate that is set to truly go sky high, and one can easily see that this is a formula for revolt.
How the population reacts and how the situation unfolds will be directly proportional to the spread of the Swine Flu, the percentages of mortality and their demographic locations, the impact on the economy and unemployment and the governments reaction to the inevitable demonstrations and protests as well as the extension of the government’s grab for control.
However, considering the past performance of the One Party Two Branch system, the world should brace for the worst of news from North America and the USA in specific.

Our Toilets, Our National Shame
Travelling Russia extensively, it is always a with great trepidation that I enter public bathrooms in many areas, such as at train stations, parks and other areas. But this is not limited only to the public. Working with heavy industry the same is true for most of the older, heavy manufacturing facilities.
Usually, if one is lucky, the toilet is at least a porcelain toilet, usually with the cover, the seat, taken away and never with anything like toilet paper provided. Some times even the walls are pealing and crumbling. The user is forced to sit on just as often, a disgusting, dirty bowl, balancing uncomfortably on the edge, to do what nature demands. Carry your own toilet paper, or if you are lucky, you’ll be using newspapers.
Then there is the unlucky “toilets”, little more then Asiatic holes in the ground, where like a dog, the user is forced to squat, do his duty and hope the aim is good and the knees do not give out. Never mind if the person is an invalid with a bad leg, back or missing appendage. The stench in these toilets, with no real plumbing to wash away the waste from inside the pits, is over powering.
Beyond the discomfort and beyond the disgust, it is more important, what it is that this says about us, as a people and about our nation, as a whole. Are we a civilized population or some second world Asiatic substate? Toilets, you see, say everything about the relationship of the people with themselves and others and what they expect from their governments and on how much the government cares about its people.
While all apartments and most houses have normal, modern toilets to sit upon, why is it that we are so passive in our demands for the same dignity from our public restrooms and from those at our jobs?
To the bosses out there and their lack of caring for the very basics of their workers, learn humility and care enough about your workers to make a change. For one, with a relatively low investment: proper plumbing, toilets and yes, very important: supplied toilet paper, you can not only raise the moral of your workers, and thus their productivity, but also their health and thus their productivity, as a more sanitary environment will lead to fewer sick days. By putting a bit of cash up front, by treating your employees as actual people, you can benefit greatly from this. Try this kindness, your workers are not vermin, subhuman or an afterthought, they are the very foundation that makes your organization function.
Now for the government.
You want to be taken seriously in the eyes of the modern world? What kind of reaction do you think tourists and visitors have after seeing this, when they return to their home countries? It is time to take this crisis and create jobs, by modernizing this infrastructure.
Further, this improves the health of the population, by limiting disease vectors and eliminating a place for flies to breed. And yes, it also improves moral, by improving, however incrementally, the quality of life of the average person, especially those not rich enough to travel by plane.
It is time for us to stop being silent about this issue, to stop grumbling under our breath, as we try not to breath in the stench of these biological disaster zones. It is time we started demanding that the issue be resolved. It is time we sit up right, with dignity, while doing nature’s duty.

Israel's Upcoming Shift in Alliance Will Cause Mass Psychosis in America
As I stated in Isreal you are Serbia now, Israel has become the beaten house wife to America. For whatever demand of sacrifice of the Jewish state to the Muslims, by the Saudi owned White House, the Israeli leadership will follow through, regardless of the cost to its civilians in life and pain. Then, with the Muslim Arab blood lust temporarily appeased, the residents of the White House would bring flowers to their beaten, bloodied and used wife, in the form of cash or credit, before repeating the process all over again.
Fast forward to today and the current resident of the White House has come to pander to the Islamics, like no other.
He has already made it quite plain and clear that Israel will split and deliver to the Palestinian fanatics what they want, or else, and no there will be no flowers, this time. Do not be fooled by the fact his Chief of Staff, Raum Emmanuel holds duel citizenship, because he and so many other American liberal Jews, maybe even the majority, are a leech upon Israel and its people. They use the state of Israel to promote their own ends and careers, without ever having to risk their own pampered hides in the blood baths that follow.
In short, they are the anchor that holds Israel to the US and will surely drown it. Well, one of two anchors, on the other, shortly.
So it now becomes blatently obvious to Israel that ther is no way out of its own distruction, if it continues to stay with the Muslim satrap in the White House. Leave it, it must and the only logical choice logical choice, the only major nation who has stood by her allies for millinia, is Russia.
Two recent actions have shown this to be a new direction: the dropping of the visa regimes and the sale of Israeli military technology to Russia, technology Russia could duplicate on its own, but chose not to. This, even after the ramification of the Georgia war.
This move will, of course, have a disasterous psychological affect on a very large section of American society: Israel's second anchor, the "Zionist" protestant and specifically fundimentalist Christian base. These peoiple love Israel, but not because they love jews, many if not most of them, probably have never even met a jew. Instead, they love them because through their religious heresy, they have convinced themselves that they can force God's hand and bring on the Second Coming of our Lord Christ, on their terms. Blasphemy at its highest.
To accomplish this, they first need Israel to exist and then for the Third Temple to be built. They then believe that either they will be instantly lifted as the Choosen, to look down upon all the "damned" left to suffer the Apocalypse or that they will be, along with the rest of America, the ones to defeat the armies of the AntiChrist, which will be made up of the Russians, Chineses and the EU or some combination fo the three. There are various combinations and variations on these two basic themes between the some 30 to 40,000 different groups of protestants, evangelicals and fundimentalists in America. What does not vary, is the need for Israel, the sacrificial lamb, that will bring on the ego trip of the "Zionist" Christians.
For Israel to switch alliances to Russa and for it to be obvious that the US is in the camp of the fanatical sunnies, will bring on a crisis of conscious and faith, like no other, since the Crash of 1873, which brought on the present Evangelical revival and the Left Behind heresy, that has led to the present day situation. Considering this base represents some 70 to 100 million Americans, from one degree to another and a well armed group at that, this could and would have fundimental destabilizationary pressures on American society.
What it will mean for a strained and financieally broke America, no one can know. However, the play of psychology will be interesting to watch.
