Turf Battle At The UN
http://www.canada.com/news/world/document+would+give+Mother+Earth+same+rights+humans/4597840/story.html
This, of course, creates an eventual power clash with the office of Ambassador To Space Aliens.
The Ambassador To Space Aliens has been around for a long time, at least since last September. So, what happens when the new Minister For Mother Earth and the Ambassador For Space Aliens eventually butt heads?
What happens when the aliens finally arrive and they aren't all ET like and asking us for Skittles and want to hang out with little kids, not in a creepy Michael Jackson way, let's go Trick Or Treating together, you can be Batman and I'll be the Space Alien way? No, what if they're more of the Steven Hawking/Independence Day, die bitches die type of aliens?

So, along comes the evil Cyborg/Klingon invasion force and the Ambassador recommends that we, mankind, nuke the shit out of the alien spaceships as they enter our atmosphere. He knows that bad mojo is on the way because he's talked to them with hand gestures and tonal music from his Skype link and they just responded by taking an alien dump on a globe of the Earth.
The Ambassador, a wise man, because he is the third cousin of the current dictator from Zimbabwe, and it was Zimbabwe's turn to sit in the corner Office of Alien Ambassador, has decided that the Alien poo on the globe of Earth is not only a hostile sign toward Earthlings, it's also a sign of poor hygiene on the part of our new visitors.
But the Minister For Mother Earth says "OVER MY DEAD BODY". The Minister For Mother Earth will have none of it. He's like "sure we might kill these evil Earth crappers." But, what about the flowers and all of the hallucinogenic mushrooms that would be killed by the radiation?
The power struggle would go on and on and on as the villainous overlords from another galaxy board their landing craft.
Has anybody thought of this? Does Anyone care?
I, for one, think that this turf battle, should it come to the scenario described above, be settled the old fashioned way. We tie the left hand of the Ambassador To Space Aliens to the left hand of the Minister Of Mother Earth and throw them into a pit with two bullwhips and thousands of scorpions. Only in this reasonable setting can such high minded decisions be resolved.
Indeed, I believe that all UN squabbles be settled in such a manner.
The Ten Trillion Dollar Per Year Market
According to Beck, Goldman Sachs holds a huge stake in the CCX, the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Al Gore owns shares. And, then Illinois State Senator Obama was a key player in the establishment of the CCX in 2002.
If Congress passes cap and trade legislation, all of the above will become true masters of the universe.
It's no wonder Obama doesn't seem to care about a second term.
He's a made man.
Healthcare Is Really Just A Tax Increase To Please Our Creditors
This is why this month is pivotal for the dollar.
If the Obama machine can produce "Healthcare For All", the dollar, in my opinion, will fly and our markets will crash as the carry trade unwinds. The economy will crash horribly and when we finally do qualify for HFA in 2013, the money that will have been taxed from US taxpayers in 2010, 2011 and 1012 will not be in a magic HFA account with our names on it. Nope, that money will be in China where it will be being deployed as part of an infrastructure project. Three years from now, look for HFA commercials that insist on huge tax increases to keep grandma alive.
This is my DOW 2000/Gold 2000 scenario.
If HFA is killed, look for the Chinese to dump their stash of US debt and watch the price of gold rise to levels that nobody has dared predict.
This is my DOW 30,000/Gold 30,000 scenario.
This is coming to a head soon. Obama did not cancel his trip to Asia this month because his powers of persuasion are essential to get this horrible bill through congress. He hired Rahm Emmanuel for that.
No. I suspect that the Asians that hold our debt told Mr. Obama to either visit them with a massive tax increase in his pocket or not to bother with the photo op at all.
In either scenario, the purchasing power of gold will outperform any other asset class.
