Walmart put the screws to their suppliers in an effort to stop their bleeding. But, they found they could only intimidate them to a point. After that, the suppliers simply balked. Walmart, aloe with other retailers, are discovering that less an less people want to buy their piles of junk.

The morons that supported ObamaCare because they were told that that ObamaCare was going to force the “rich” to pay for other peoples health and wanted to stick it to “the rich”, only to find that THEY were “the rich” who would have to pay

Same thing for the Unions. They have fostered such animosity and adversarial attitudes in their membership towards the companies that employ and provide the members livelihoods that the rank and file have wanted to “stick it to the man” so badly that they poisoned the well with management

Obama’s promise to union members was that he would really “stick it to the man” if elected. Obama followed through on his promise.

Union members are now learning the hard way that they have a vested interest in the health of the companies that employ them and that by supporting Obama and his policies , they have killed the goose that lays the Golden Egg.

George Soros was Obama’s biggest backer. After Obama was elected, Soros crowed,”I hope Americans get to like their new Third World wages and standard of living”

“The last coal train to leave Erwin rolled slowly out of town just after at 3 p.m. Thursday, less than eight hours after CSX Transportation employees heard the news that rocked all of Unicoi County.”

That is what Obama wanted.

-————————————————’

It's also what Obama promised he would accomplish - and he has.

Ironically, Unicol County voted overwhelmingly for Barak Obama.

They knowingly voted for the guy, knowing all the while that they were committing their own economic suicide by their voting for Obama

"It's a hard pill to swallow," county Mayor Greg Lynch said. "Of course, we heard rumors that something was coming down. But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine they would just shut down..."

Well, since y'all voted overwhelmingly for Obama, I can't say that I feel very sorry for your situation then ...

I’m with Soros on that. Particularly how it effects the Obama voters. I want those bastards to suffer like I have under the son of a bitch they inflicted on me.

That’s precisely why I’ve been saying that, We don’t need a third party, we need a second party.

Exactly correct. Well put.

Could be almost as bad as an EMP.

With a pulse bomb at least we would get to work right away.

Not sure about the above quote, but ...

Soros: Republic Enemy #1 [prior to 0-care]
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/14700
‘The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.’ - George Soros

Soros also told ‘The Australian’ that the world financial crisis [2008] was ‘stimulating’ and ‘in a way, the culmination of my life’s work.’

Soros spent $33 Million of his own money to finance the Ferguson riots.

He is now calling for the dissolution of the European Union, and a "New" order.

Soros is an agent of Satan.

They’ve been hiding the reality of the situation for 7 years, it couldn’t last forever.


That’s the way I see it too.

On a very serious note though, in my county where over 60% are on government entitlements and welfare of one sort or another if the EBT cards go ‘ERROR’ then SHTF will be, (I don’t want to curse here), very, very bad.

‘Soros is an agent of Satan.’

He also admitted he was behind the refugee mess in Europe.

A theory suggested here on FR was that the bad numbers were being hidden and Yellen was deciding what to do about interest rates based on the desire to hide the dismal situation until after Obama was gone, so it would be blamed on his successor. If that’s the case, then is this a deal where it’s so bad it CAN’T be hidden, or is this a case where they just stopped worrying about anything being blamed on a successor?

Maybe there’s not supposed to be a successor. Maybe Iran is supposed to hit us with an EMP before a successor can be inaugurated - like maybe in November or December when Obama plans to be in the southern hemisphere where an EMP’s effects wouldn’t reach...

And this is what you get when you hire a narcissistic, sociopath amateur for the job who's anti-American, anti-business / thinks they shouldn't generate more profit than is needed to pay federal taxes, Communist, and Muslim who's been bought and paid for by a Nazi / Communist anti-American puppeteer and Middle Eastern interests who orchestrated his rise to power beginning in his youth. It has Damien and Rosemary's Baby written all over it. I'm just surprised the horns don't show.

< "The big banks are also shedding thousands of employees."

A bank employee was just telling me last Thursday that people's savings are being depleted very noticeably this last year or they are pulling their savings out of their banks. She said this is is happening at an accelerating rate this year mire so than any year she has worked there.

Something is up.

> I have had no money for 7 years. Especially with the insane job market. A lot of Americans have no idea what’s really happening. Sure, they’ve seen stuff on liberal MSM and paid higher for a few thing

You're not alone. This economy has about killed my and others businesses out there. Had to move from my home and had to downscale noticeably by buying a smaller home from a guy who was going through the same situation I am. I talk to people who are going through the same thing all the time now. Obama has done his best following orders from Emporer Soros to destroy this country. If it weren't for real patriots and the Tea Party he would have been far more destructive IMO.

Very interesting that Soros took “credit” for the crash of 2008. Hillary’s people claimed that George Soros asked both Obama and Hillary whether they were on-board with his plan to destroy the US economy. Obama was, so he got the nod from Soros.

The 2008 crash was possible because of the subprime lending mess, which was one of the plans in the Cloward-Piven Strategy of Manufactured Crisis (along with the destruction of our voting system’s integrity through illegal immigration and “Motor Voter” laws). Obama was a signed member of The New Party (co-founded by Piven as the non-violent wing to match the SDS violent wing of the communists) and carried out for Piven those 2 planks of the plan to destroy America, the only things he did with his Alwaleed-funded and Ayers-coordinated Harvard law degree.

The run on the bank on 9-11-08 came right after our Middle East intelligence was saying that an act of financial terrorism was imminent. George Soros has said that he hoped that America would lose the “war on terror” because then both America and capitalism would fail. And sure enough, on cue, after the run on the bank America’s 2 expressed enemies with whom Obama has always been allied - the communists (Castro and Chavez) and the Islamists (Zawahiri and Ahmadinejad) - both said, “Since capitalism has failed the world should try communism/Islamic finance”.

About a week after the 9-11-08 run on the bank, GWB suddenly got very, very scared and went on TV saying that economic Armageddon (the expressed goal of both the communists and Islamists) was upon us if we didn’t pass TARP (which largely went to sharia-compliant, dem-supporting banks which kept the money and ultimately further weakened our economy as somebody here noted). The SAME DAY as Bush had his turnaround from letting Congress handle the situation, John McCain received a phone call from Obama and within an hour or so was on TV saying he was suspending his campaign. IOW, on that one day both GBW and McCain got the bejeebies scared out of them by SOMEBODY.

We know that in October of 2008 and then again after the election while the eligibility lawsuits were underway, Soros (and his henchmen Axelrod and Emanuel) scared the bejeebies out of the media heads, threatening something so bad that the heads told their on-air personalities that if anybody allowed discussion of Obama’s ineligibility issues or Muslim leanings they would lose their jobs, and implied that they and/or their families could also lose their lives. We know this because one of the on-air personalities signed a statement describing that meeting, and follow-up investigation yielded the hand-written notes taken at the meeting as well as corroboration from other people who had been at the meetings.

I have long suspected that what was threatened was another run on the bank - that Soros used his Islamist allies (as Ghadaffi had said in a public speech that world Muslims were getting Obama elected and were hoping he didn’t forget “his Muslim faith”, which is the term Obama accidentally spilled out to GEorge Stephanopaulos) to make the run on the bank, knowing that the US economy had already been weakened by Obama’s decade-long efforts to corrupt the US economy according to the Cloward-Piven Plan. And once the display of their power to destroy the US economy was revealed they used that threat to blackmail anybody else who stood in their way -including Bush, Cheney, McCain, Chief Justice Roberts, (possibly) John Boehner, and eligibility judges such as Judge Surick (who in mid-October suddenly reversed himself and denied Phil Berg standing), Judge Carter who similarly reversed himself shortly after hiring a clerk from the firm defending Obama, Judge Maliki who ruled that Obama had to prove his eligibility and would be in contempt of court if he did not appear but later ruled that Obama didn’t need to prove his eligibility and kept the court records from being certified so nobody could file contempt charges.

The initial media/McCain/GWB threat was while GWB’s administration was in charge of the FCC, NSA, etc so unless Soros’ people had infiltrated those agencies and could get GWB’s approved to use the agency capabilities for blackmail to get Obama elected, some other threat was in play - and I suspect it was the threat of another run on the bank.

Soros taking “credit” for the crash of 2008 corroborates my suspicion. That man should be in Gitmo.

If they’re stupid enough to take the unemployment figures seriously they’re stupid enough to believe anything.
