Brilliant comment North…

What’s your figure for the current value of $6 billion in 1830 at, say 7%  ???    Are you just hurting because I used the sacred name of Rothschild?   Are we now to this point - that even  if the NAME of an individual in someone’s favorite race happens to be mentioned, we cannot focus on the issue at hand, but have to go off into this ever-more trivial dimension???  Jeeez… spare me.    

ferret, thanks at last for some intelligent discussion…

All of us base our premises on our personal history.

Nobody asks the questions of what will happen when things ‘get a little out of order’ with what we’re used to, on a day-to-day basis.

I’m not trying to draw dividing lines here at this wonderful forum…I only ask that folks consider what the hell is happening… because it’s happening really freaking fast.

Masaska2, why did Hitler lock up the jews?

Personally, I think it is for the same reason that they have been persecuted throughout history.  They were becoming too successful.  And had the capability to become too powerful.  Which is what seems to have happened again (or, in the case of the Roths, had already happened but they were smart enough to avoid problems).  Jealously is a powerful emotion.

I’ve worked for three or four jewish owned companies.  One, a jeweller, was an absolute rogue - lovable, but totally untrustworthy unless, perhaps, you were also a jew.  If you were a jewish mate, no worries, if you were a jewish friend of a friend, be careful, gentiles fair game!!  I had access to all his books to try to save his business - he wasn’t shy in explaining it all.

Another pair of brothers were a typical rags to riches through hard work and seizing the opportunities that presented themselves.  Much more ethical (except when it came to taxes, maybe) but one thing was clear; they were always willing to help out any jewish mates that might need a hand.  Good to their employees too.

Another jew was a multi-billionaire: literally rags to riches, started out buying waste rags and bagging them up for machine shops.  His brother was also a multi-billionaire of his own making.  Neither of them terribly happy people I don’t think, but they’d always helped each other out, and their acquaintances (the only friend one of them had was reputed to be Johnny Walker) were mostly jewish.

The common factors that I observe in all this were:

hard work

networking, especially with other jews

willingness to help other jews especially, on trust

I never regarded the first two examples as being particularly smart guys.  The second lot were reasonably good at picking good e/ees.  The third brothers were probably pretty smart in their time, but when I knew them were starting to wither.  Definitely not sprightly 75 year olds.

But the teamwork, willingness to help, take the odd risk, trust one another; all this pays off.  Hence they tend to be more successful than other groups of businessmen, whether of a racial, religious or geographical background.  And if they are successful, they are usually rich, and thus influential - so people can easily be influenced to hate them.  

Mass race

The latest I hear is Brown has pulled ahead of Coakly, and the Dem’s are worried.  In my circle, I’ve heard a lot of “make sure you vote Brown on Tuesday”.  Wouldn’t that be a hoot if the late Kennedy get’s replaced with a Republican.

Just don’t put too much money on it, as long as I’ve lived here in Mass, the Devil would get elected if he ran on the Democratic ticket.  Republicans chances have been very slim over the past several decades in Mass.

I will certainly show up on Tuesday to do my part for Brown.

Offensive to who? And why? (I’m tapping my toe here, waiting)


Just delete the post. It’s offensive.

Margaret..

instead, why don’t we discuss it?  It’s far better than censorship.  I’d be happy to meet you in the chat room.

Mazaska

It would be a good thing if your post was deleted. Why don’t you do us a favour and do it yourself?

No, wait just a second…I’m not quite done yet…

I’m sick and tired of being called a racist, for being a realist.

If I call someone a Jew, I am automatically a racist.  How flippin’ retarded is this?

The question was posed, “so what if five people own the U.S. media?”  That question was asked to those of us at the forum, but it should have instead been directed to Ron Paul, or Dennis Kucinich.

The banking systems are owned by Jews.  The media is owned by Jews. Wall St, and the intelligence agencies are now run by Jews.  Who might have guessed…the very sytems that are now imploding.

The political system is bought by those same folks.  We are fighting wars that have nothing to do with the USA’s survival.

If you folks are so smart, can’t ya see what’s coming next?  Jeeezus Effin’ Christ.  I ask an honest question: why do ya think Hitler locked everyone up?

He may have been a madman, or maybe not.  One thing for sure…he wasn’t stupid.  Do you think he was?

I have personal friends who are Jewish.  I fear for them, because I know how history rhymes.  With the internet, I suspect it’ll rhyme in spades this time around.  It won’t be fair, and I don’t want to see it.

Since black is white, and up is down, and hot is cold, I suspect the opposition to this post will be confirmational.

Prezone…never give up.

FGC, I dare you to delete this post…I DARE YOU TO.

Deadeye @ 21:17 pm and Newtogold

Good votes!  :-)

Mazaska2 @ 22:09 pm

Good luck where ever you are going! 

redneckokie1 @ 21:31 pm

It would have been better had the poll that came out Friday showing Brown UP 3 pts had not happened until tomorrow - Dems are scrambling to get out the vote now and with Dems being 3 to 1 over Rep in Mass - I expect they will figure out a way to win by a nose unfortunately - sure hope that I am incorrect and that he can hang on and win.  Will be interesting to watch.

Be back tomorrow

Krazy fella

Godfather FTS and Cosmic Train

I’m done here

Thanks y’all.  It’s been eight years of educational experience, and fun.

I wish the best for all of ya.

Tks for the link FCG-found that article earlier-good read

@MetalsGuy

Tks for the info-am invested 100% in metals with 1/2 allocated to CEF & 1/2 to BMF -was seeking a pure Platinum ETF in order to flip my CEF over to. Perhaps in Canada it is non existent and I may simply switch it all to BMF in order to take advantage of platinum’s potential

Tks for the info peeps

Pondering

Nice forum eh -in me best Canuckian

Floridagold

Just like Deadeye, I’ve contributed to the Brown campaign. Might even make some phone calls for him Monday. It would be beneficial for the Dems to lose their 60 count on every issue in the Senate. I wonder if we don’t have any Tent members from Mass. who could give us  the inside scoop about this race.

“World Misled” were really the only two words necessary to convey the truth of today.

Cheers, amigo.

Re: platinum etf - Fullgoldcrown @ 21:01 pm

The only Canadian platinum etf that I know of  is BMG Bullion Fund, which is made up of gold, silver and platinum in equal amounts. Very safe - allocated, segregated, etc. I’ve held some for years.

floridagold

you can rest assured that the dems will pull out every stop known to politics. i would guess the repubs will have plenty of poll watchers. anyone heard how the absentee ballots are going?

the dems absolutely, positively cannot lose this seat is mass.the whole country knows it and the scrutiny will be immense.

rno

Yes-am a little bit off the wall

Oh-and tks for the welcome

(Floridagold) I voted for Brown, all the way from Texas

just send his campaign some Fiat Dollars before they turn to Monopoly money. Hope they are the marginal balance that tips the scale against Government Healthcare and for our Constitution. There is no provision in our Constitution for Washington to take over health care - that was left to the individual States. Deadeye

Krazy Fella 11:39 this morning….

….platinum ETFs ?
