Larry Kudlow mentioned that the Federal Reserve may be meeting tonight to discuss the exposure of Citibank and JP Morgan Chase to derivatives and the stock market collapse.
Possible that both banks have billions of derivatives that need to be unwound. Would collapse the banking industry.
NO doubt all these white collar thiefs are part of that East coast Ivy League good ole boy club! When will we rise up and SMASH THIS CLUB??!
Well I tend to agree with you I'm just speaking about the public in general .. many folks don't realize it is the same
Sounds good. I want the western panhandle!
Any such movement would likely be joined by Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. Given such a revolt, one or more of Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Lousiana, Tennessee, might also be coaxed into threatening to seceed. Should most of these join, Kentucky, Ohio, and one or both Dakotas would also be in play. Now you would have too big a movement to suppress militarily, thus provoking a constitutional crisis. HRC might have the electoral college and popular vote(and a newly packed 15 member USSC), but not the land mass, resources, and distribution of economic producer assets in her favor. So it could come down to resign, or we seceed. Either way, conservatives triumph in the long run. Though it will never come to this, its nice to remember that good productive people usually find a way to regain the trump card. Recreational tinfoiling can be fun.
I know what you're saying. When it looked like this country wasn't going to snap out of it's Clinton haze a few years ago, I thought this was going to be necessary. Western California, Western Oregon, and Western Washington state are basically the same tribe and are liberal new age types. The big Great Lakes cities and New England down the eastern seaboard to Washington DC forming a crescent are bacically the same tribe and are liberal union types. The rest are the freedom-loving heart and soul of the original American spirit. We get San Diego though, we need a West Coast seaport, and San Diego is the most conservative. And I'd imagine a few of those gun-loving western Canadian provinces would join up with us, also. We might as well solve their liberalism problems the same time we solve ours.
Recreational tinfoiling, this is fun. :^)
This 188' Abeking and Rasmussen will only cost you $280,000 per week to charter, and you can bring 11 of your friends.
These are the kinds of pals the Rubins of the world have. They're not worried. The rest of us can sell apples, it will still be lobster and champagne for them. They are untouchable, or as they say, "borders and laws are for the little people."
Over the last 30 years there have been five efforts made by eastern Wash. and eastern Oregon to secede from the western parts of their states and join with northern Idaho as a new state (one of the bills -- in 1981, I think it was -- named the new state as the state of "Lincoln").
So, you see, there's precedence. And the Cascade mountains would make for one helluva great defensive position.
The sheeple were so selfish they said the only thing that mattered was that their 401ks were growing when Clinton and his gang were committing their crimes in the 90s. Now that the sheeple's 401ks are diving, maybe we can finally have justice. But I'm not really sure if the sheeple deserve to have these Clinton crooks held accountable for raiding these same sheeple's future.
Environmental think tanks are where all the Marxists have gone to moulder.
Yeah, but can Seattle catapult their cows over that range? I'm sure that they could fart in your general direction. Talk about a nasty Chinook... Well, if rural eastern WA were able to seceed, I'm wondering if Clark(Vancouver, the most conservative part of the Portland metro) and/or Cowlitz County would leave, too. That would give access to the Pacific, no locks on the Columbia south of there. Kinda sticky relying on a river, but its a start. What about Pacific, Wahkiakum, or Gray's Harbor Counties, primarily logger or Native American dominated? Any of those three would provide an excellent harbor location for a base.
Sadder still, I doubt they even want them punished. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the sheeple put them right back in power.
