The Lion Speaks Tonight




This little speech tonight ought to prove to be something to behold. Every time he has opened his mouth in the past month, the stock market has slid farther and father into the shitter. And quite frankly? I am not aware of anything that he can do or not do that will put the brakes on this runaway train.

He calls himself trying to avoid the crash, but everything that he and congress have done to this point, has resulted in only more socialist pork barrel spending. Hillary Clinton was in China over the weekend, literally begging off the Chinese to continue to buy our ridiculous debt, while we continue to shovel the pile of it deeper and deeper.

The wreck of the American economy? Is going to be of colossal proportions IMO. They will be talking and writing about it for the next five hundred years IMO. And the band plays on and the messianic one fiddles and attempts allegory as if that is some form of solution to the reality.

When Oppenheimer coined the phrase ....."I am become death, destroyer of worlds," he had no idea that there are far worse things than atomic weapons in this world. There are far greater dangers than even nuclear holocaust.

Famine, pestilence and disease can be every bit as devastating to entire societies as the flash of light in anger.
