MSM's Coverage Of Gulf `SPILL' Pushing Some Into Rants

Got this one from a good buddy of mine today.

Time for the truth to be told. The rate of flow out of the main leak

is at least 259,000 barrels per day, not the 5,000 BP Oil is admitting
to on NBC 5/22/10 at 6:45 pm. The math is simple. You look at the
rate of flow out of the main leak. It is really gushing, for sure.
That pipe is 22" wide. Almost exactly the diameter of an oil barrel.
Every 3 feet of oil that comes out is 1 barrel. Count ...one thousand
one..... and estimate how many feet come out. That pipe is rated for
10,000 psi. I say at least 9 or 10 feet of crap erupts from the broken
end. Probably closer to 15, but we will be conservative. So, 3
barrels per second times 60 seconds times 60 minutes equals 10,800
barrels per hour. What is BP talking about and why didn't anyone at
NBC question this???? 10,800 times 24 hours EQUALS 259,200 barrels of
oily crap spewing into the Gulf of Mexico everyday! How can BP say
5,000????? This number is just for the main leak that most of the
video has focused on. When will we get to know the truth???? Are they
lying to keeps the markets up????? I guess we could employ a few
million to stand on the beach and sop up oil blobs for a few
years....Texas, LA, Miss, Bama..FLA, GA, SC, NC....MD......England?????
The Gulf Stream will take it back to the beaches in England ..poetic
perhaps. How many miles of coastline will be affected???? Fishing in
all those states will be highly compromised...all water
sports.........we have no idea how much this is going to cost the
worldwide economy.

IDEA - New Name For Tea Party - The American Eagle Party

Hello, welcome to Real Heavy Politics. As you can see from my headline - I have an idea about re-naming the Tea Party. Here goes.

First, IF the people of America really understood history, or the nobility of the original Boston Tea Party - and there was no MSM - the name would perhaps be perfect. BUT, Americans have been dumbed down by the MSM to the point that any nobility in `standing up to the governing' is never a talking point.

Indeed, because of a true lack of focus of the current Tea `Party' and Tea Partiers - the event is indeed made/covered to be a big NEGATIVE `Party' (literally a party, fun event, not serious) that `normal' political party folks - shouldn't be associated with.

Now, as you can see from my sidebar - this idea of a political party claiming `The Eagle' as their symbol-mascot --- instead of a Jackass or a Bloated Elephant - is not new with me. I would hope that I do not need to point out the `values' that might be associated with such a symbol/mascot.

Eagles are beautiful and majestic - the Jackass stubborn, the Elephant - well, an HUGE elephant. And, in most cases - both the elephant and jackass are DEPENDENT on people.

A party associated with the Eagle - would see America FIRST - not a battle for `saying the right words' to the most people. A party associated with the Eagle would eat/take - ONLY what it needed and wouldn't waste - the way nature intended. Protecting ONLY it's own territory. Being INDEPENDENT and self sufficient - but with the needed claws to protect. To protect America.

The Eagle party would RIP apart what is NOT needed in the whole bloated government mess. The Eagle party would be open to ideas rejected by the Jackass and Elephant mutually for decades and decades. The Eagle party would NOT be afraid to pull back the military to our borders to reign in their total power and influence. OR, the influence of lesser evils everywhere to be found under nearly every government program. Even `entitlements'. Even lawyers and lobbyists.

Oh, I forgot to mention - the Eagle would be facing Straight On - looking the nation in the eyes - with a head not facing left or right. And, a `party' not likely to be `mocked' by the MSM (such as their recent interest in a `coffee' party).

Well?

Banks Ignore Delinquent Borrowers

Is the government so desperate that they are telling the banks to NOT foreclose? Is the so-called `recovery' nothing more than people spending the money they used to pay to keep current on a mortgage? Or, is the slight uptick in eating out being driven by the same reason (or is it that some folks will eat out a time or two in lieu of not taking a vacation)? --- Anyway, this link says to count in YEARS the time frame before housing even begins to hint at a recovery. http://www.cnbc.com/id/37131956

Trillion Dollar `Glitch' Widens Public MisTrust

So, yesterday the stock market went down over 990 points --- for a minute or two. Down 700 in 15 minutes, up 600 a quarter hour later. Immediately, the rumors began.

A trader had made a sell order for a `b'illion instead of a `m'illion -- someone at Citi Group had made the mistake --- some hedge fund was liquidating all assets - it was the difference between the NASDAQ and the DOW in times of panic - the machines had taken over by microsecond trades ---- were all trotted out as an explanation to the masses in the immediate minutes following the episode.

As if it mattered. As if anyone really trusts the big money boys playing with the world's very money system.

Meanwhile, the money-credit system seems to be teetering again in Europe; lead by Greece as part of the PIGS. (You better be hip enough to know who the PIGS are.) Others say the Euro is next if not the Pound AND eventually - the dollar. The money players are just starting their game once again of pushing commodities, currencies and bonds in their endless pricing games Making money on the way up and down. Most likely, this time, plucking the system to it's knees eventually once again.

That is, the peons of the system. The ones who actually built it and went in debt to do so. Those are the ones to be plucked - in the big game of chicken played with the world's finances. A bloated world system less secure by the minute - the same day that President Obama cheered the increase in the unemployment rate, underemployment rate and long term unemployment rate - as if it didn't matter at all. As long as he had `good rhetoric' to share about other inane measures of how well we are all doing in America.

The public mistrust `glitch' widened this week into a moat - and they just drew the drawbridge up to the people. Don't expect the MSM to be too concerned.
