Monday's back at the post

Hello and welcome to the week. We have arrived after a delightfully weathered weekend. As if you hadn't heard already, Alberto Gonzalez has finally resigned. I think he's had it with being the 'fall guy' for all the cronies. At least we got one more out, and they'll put someone else in the hot seat. I think it's Condie's turn. Also, be weary of the next 4 weeks. We have 2 theories building up that are both equally threatening.

1) A massive terrorist attack is going to take place before Sept. 21 to tank the markets, OR;
2) China, reeling over losing $10 Billion in bad loans to the sub-prime mortgage collapse presently taking place, is going to dump US currency and tank all of Capitalism with a Communist financial revolution. Either scenario is bad and the clock is ticking. The drop-dead date of these contracts is September 21. Whatever is going to happen MUST take place between now and then or the folks involved in these contracts will lose over $1 billion for having engaged in this activity.

Everyone is working around the '9/11' date to support the republican decisions to stay in the 'War on Terror'. If there is a second 9/11 event, it will justify the fact that we are 'fighting terror, and it is threatening us in our Homeland'. That will justify this second Vietnam type war, and propel us into a police state where the President can claim all of your property as his own, tap all of your phones, and put an RFID chip in you to track your every move. No one wants a secondary 9/11, but the ends justify the means. We are living in a huge drawn out dramatic play- that juggles our lives and freedoms so that the neocon elite can get off on their obsessions with oil, money, and power. So let's get into it.
