Keith Taylor’s Junkyard Dawgs
Here is a rather peculiar Thanksgiving message from Palin in Alaska. Like her, I have slaughtered animals which I ate. This is the nature of reality. Like her, I have hunted and then gutted and butchered large mammals. But there is certainly something rather peculiar about this woman. She babbles. Her answers are long, involved and go absolutely nowhere. But at least she is honest about enjoying bloodshed. Unlike Bush who pretended to be a cowboy even though he is scared of horses, hates cows and is very much a spoiled rich kid.
CLICK HERE LARGE PRINT EDITION: TURKEY TALK « Culture of Life News 2
YouTube – KTUU 2008 Sarah Palin turkey interview
A 2008 news story on KTUU channel 2 in Anchorage. Subject: Governor Sarah Palin is interviewed at a turkey farm while turkeys are slaughtered behind her.
Much of our culture is ‘bloodless’. Our wars are fought, out of sight. The inner city violence is also pretty much out of sight. When I lived in Brooklyn, NY, during the years when the city was near bankruptcy, we didn’t have much police protection. On my own block, we had three murders in one month, two of which were in the middle of the street.
One was a man and woman arguing. ’I'm going to kill you,’ screamed the man.
‘I’m going to kill you deader!’ shrieked the woman. Another neighbor had opened his window and yelled, ‘Will you go ahead and do it and shut up?’ when she plunged a knife in the man’s chest, killing him.
The neighbor who witnessed this from his window yelled, ‘Holy shit! She did it!’ I came out of the house, after calling the cops and ordering them to come and do something. Well, not one of these murders made the news except the very back pages. The Daily News did like the ‘I’ll kill you deader’ line when they talked to me about this later. But frankly, despite the appearance of the news being interested in crime, it really isn’t all that interested if the wrong people die. We all know who these people are: poor minorities.
Back to Palin: she, at least, revels in her blood lusts. No fake mamby-pamby softy stuff for this dame. On the other hand, this is the same woman who is tearful about abortions. She doesn’t shed a tear for women who would have died in illegal abortions in previous years. It used to be the #1 killer of young women, that and childbirth itself. I nearly died having one of my children.
Basing ones’ philosophical beliefs on various exclusionary positions is very hazardous. One can’t be anti-abortion but be totally uninterested in the sufferings of other creatures. Or shrug off the deaths of thousands or millions of Muslims. Indifferent to the butchery of Afghan wedding parties, for example.
Back to the butchering of animals: millions of Americans are going to eat turkeys next week. Every one of them should watch this video. The babbling turkey in the foreground and the blood-splattered guy in the background. We are predators. And we stalk not only other animals but each other. Note how Palin bubbles on about how safe her son is in Iraq! After we killed a huge number of the people there, invading their country.

From the headline, I was expecting something about the state of the Turkish lira! This is much more interesting.
Sorry, Turkey, but why name your country after a particularly stupid bird? Actually, they didn’t. Check this for more than you ever needed to know about how the turkey got its name:

Could have sworn that was Michael Moore in the background.
Was going to sound off about our indifference to slaughter, but I’ll let it pass. Have a good weekend, everyone.

It’s a morning for turkey talk with the AP reporting Japanese say financial crisis is all our fault:
“The U.S. shoulders a major chunk of the blame in triggering the global financial crisis, Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa said Friday.”
Found this on the British forum “housepricecrash.co.uk/”. They are having a lively discussion about the carry trade and ZIRP which you might enjoy.

The red flag went up on Palin when the media
exposed the GOP, spending over 150,000
for her wardrobe and hubby’s too. If you cant dress
yourself, you have no business running for office
or the VP position. She probably mistaken the
Russians for Pilgrims. Happy Thanksgiving……….

Here is an interesting weekend story:

In my opinion, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year.

Oh yeah, and I agree with Blues and Calvino regarding the factories. I have also been in many, many factories (~100 or so I’d estimate during 16 years as an environmental engineering consultant specializing in air quality).
Factories can be re-tooled. The employees and the knowledge they have is the most valuable asset. Plus, robots will always break down. What a shame it would be for america to lose its own factories. What a shame. Amazing that it has gone on for this long and gotten this dismal. Don’t you think?
“Free-Trade” is like somebody twirling your tail – maybe it feels nice, but usually their just trying to screw you!
Peace,

If “free-trade or global-trade” means “big”-boys and “petty”-girls fighting for dominance, all I can think is “feffef-em”. Let them fight amongst themselves until most of em are gone. Fight back like hell if they try to come to your neighborhood cause it should be obvious by now they don’t have good intent.
Local trade on the other hand feels good cause you know where the funds are going and usually they remain locally (the funds). Better for everyone in the neighborhood so to speak.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

When I was about eight years old, my mother and father had this really complicated falling-out, and I stayed for awhile with these crazy farmers in Connecticut. Farmers are apparently not at all different than other people, except they have to get up at four and work till nine. These farmers had “issues.”
But anyhow, we had to kill chickens. This involved a tree stump, a hatchet, and a chicken. You probably get the picture. Then after the head came off, the chicken would sometimes run about for a minute, and then you would grab it and stick it (what would have been) headlong into a funnel to drain the blood.
The chicken is a very strange bird. Years ago, I read that they were probably among the most primitive of the birds, that there even existed a variety of chicken in South America that had tiny claws at the ends of its wings.
The turkey is another amazing animal. The wild ones are vastly different than the domestic variety. They can live in New England, and they run about the hills on two legs, and they are very fast and clever. I remember seeing them on Canaan Mountain, when I lived in Canaan, CT. They are like Bigfoot; you only see them by pure chance. They zip right by almost before you can turn and look.
Sarah Palin? Just a two-bit grifter. I know the type. They flaunt their “values” and then try to harvest the rubes who buy into those feigned “values.” They just want to squeeze the last drop of blood out of anyone they can con. Victory to them is nothing more than clawing their way up to the top of the heap of trash that they believe our lives to be.

Elaine,
You must also see the uncut version of the Palin turkey interview ;
November 22, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Independent Farmers are the last remaining resistance to international bankers taking over the US and the world.
Ms. Sarah is designed to lead them off into infinite wars to get them to kill themselves thinking they are protecting themselves.
Here is an intelligence test.
For a properly functioning society, money is defined as:
A) A piece of paper printed by a privately owned cartel of banks.
B) Whatever the members of society agree is money.
http://www.fuckthebankers.com/PrintYourOwnMoney.pdf
“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.”
-James Madison
For centuries, a class of people has made its living by controlling and issuing the currency and credit of nations. That this class holds enormous sway is without question. What is in question is how to work around them so that they can do no more damage to any of us and to limit their power and influence in the material world.
Moneychangers maintain their grip on all of us through our use of THEIR privately issued money. In America, it’s the Federal Reserve Note. In much of Europe, the Euro is the point of control. In Japan, it’s the yen. And so on for a total of something on the order of 160+ central banks worldwide.
Money isn’t the root of all evil. Love of money, simple greed, is the root of all evil. All of the wars of the past 100 years with hundreds of millions dead, injured and homeless, all of the wealth sucked from the veins of human labor, all of the engineered and imposed poverty, all of these things and more can be laid at the feet of the Moneychanging class. Our responsibility lies in finding another method of paying and trading with each other that minimizes the use of Banker-issued notes.
This is where YOU come in: Print Your Own Money. Download it, print it, use it, pass it around. Each note is blank on the back (unlike Banker-issued notes) so you can add your own value to what you think the note should be. A basket of tomatoes, a six pack of beer, a ten “dollar” Federal Reserve Note, an ounce of silver, five gallons of gasoline, a bag of groceries, a day’s worth of work…whatever it is that WE want and need, not what the Banking Class dictates as their desires.
These notes are only as good as your word which is more than can be said about the Federal Reserve Note and other fiat currencies. You don’t even need to use these notes. The way out of the clutches of the Moneychangers is to start finding ways to use their blood-soaked money as little as possible, sharing the fruits of this world amongst ourselves.
It’s the oldest form of economy that there is: cutting out the professional middlemen.

Since you quoted Madison (whose home near Charlotteville, I hope to visit soon and who seems to me to be one of the most sensible of the “founders”), let me add another of his quotes:
“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/james_madison.html
Here’s another:
“What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?”
I haven’t double-verified either of these quotes, but I have no reason to suspect them, and furthermore, regardless of where they came from they make total sense to me. So did your note GK.
Peace,
Ken

Hey – an perhaps we can agree on this. BATTERIES are going to be critical. We’ve had electrical energy and we are gonna keep on wanting it for sure. Plus, a microwave oven is an incredible tool – just like money.
Anyhow, I betcha there are a bunch of engineers and technicians and other folks at GM and ford and some of these other companies who know a shitload about batteries. Why don’t they just start up their own factory.
Seems simple to me, but what do I know.
Peace,

And I’d advise any company trying to start up to disavow the concept of “corporate personhood” from the get-go. This concept leads to bad neighbors cause they think they are “so big” that they can just do as they please. Be a good neighbor why don’t ya.
I advocate the “death penalty” for corporate personhood which is a fallacy from the get go supposedly created by some inaccurate legal notes. What a joke. Damn lawyers – they right there with the bankers seems to me.
Peace,
Ken
P.S. This is “Turkey”-talk ain’t it?
November 22, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Check out the DOW (or better yet the NASDAQ) at max time frame using a “linear” scale (not logarithimic). If I was a chart-reader, I’d say these charts speak to the direction of where “its” heading. The NASDAQ has already crashed once and this time around it is just confirmation. The DOW looks like a huge bubble about to burst big-time. These charts are readily available. Furthermore, I’m not even sure the DOW and NASDAQ charts account for all the corporations that have outright FAILED. There are many and this is omitted from much of the talk and not accounting for this causes many flawed conclusions. Plus, payment of dividends is the most sensible way to make returns on stock investments in the long run – has this been forgotten?
If you start up a new company why even “list” it. Start-up with the necessary start up funds from the get-go. These funds could be minimal for a small-scale operation. Each of the owners (workers) should literally have allottments that enable them to share in any possible future profits.
Peace,
Ken

GK:
I like the money idea. Here’s another one. The ancient town of Lewes just a short drive from me has issued its own currency, to protect local businesses.
http://tinyurl.com/6ejgp6
You’ll see that the idea is already in use in Berkshire, Massachusetts.
Incidentally, Thomas Paine was a resident of Lewes for a while. Small world, innit?

Ken:
Long term DOW, log scale. This do for ya’?
http://tinyurl.com/3te452
Now draw a line across from the 1929 and the 1966 peaks and extend it … Looks like the 1987 crash bounced right off it.
Current target? Around 3000? Gulp.
Take care.

Irony abounds on the news today. Jimmy Carter has been banned from
Zimbabwe
http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20081122/NEWS-US-ZIMBABWE-POLITICS-ANNAN/
What took them so long ? He’s been banned , for all practical purposes, in
his own country for quite a while.
Tis irony too that the economy of the US is now resembling that of Zimbabwe.
We may not be stuck with a permanent Grand Poobah like Mugabe, but
we’re definately stuck with a demented aristocracy and we cant seem to make
the leap and rid ourselves of them.
I still have a tiny bit of hope for Obama, but it does seem that we are going
to continue with an endless succession of Groundhog Days.

Re. the dow chart
1. it looks like its ALREADY collapsed
2 . the implication of that multidecade chart is ; ANOTHER 8 yrs consolidation!
Charts predict many things.

Just got home after many adventures. We had the demonstration. Will publish pictures and story tomorrow.

Regards End The Fed I’ve only seen on major media story that was NBC story.
I was thinking maybe we can send emails to news sites asking why they have not covered the story.
November 23, 2008 at 10:00 am
End the Fed? Tried a Google News search. Zilch. Nada. Pissing into the wind? Try again when the unemployment rate is 25% ?

NEED TO DO STUNTS. A bunch middle class middle age people isn’t too sexy.
Provide entertainment or shock value. Such as that girl that made a citizens arrest.
Maybe pour red paint over Paulson while chanting ‘Red Ink, Red Ink, Red Ink’
November 23, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Here was a good analysis (much like Elaine’s):
China Financial Markets blog
November 23, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Igneous, ever try doing such ’stunts’? You get beaten up and hauled to prison, very roughly. People can risk doing whatever they wish. But never, ever ask anyone to do something illegal while you, yourself, sit at home, safe.
Thanks Rob, for the link. Yes, that is a good analysis.
I am not surprised there was virtually no news coverage. I saw virtually no media there. The demonstrators were all very, very nice people. But the people at the top of our power pyramid are very worried if millions of very pissed off people assault their citadels!
This is too early for that sort of thing. Germany coped with this by having the power people push Hitler into confronting the socialists and communists in street fights, by the way.
November 23, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Maybe stunt was too strong a word. And I would never want some one to break the law. I suppose pouring red paint over someone would be breaking the law so please don’t anyone do that.
No I don’t intend to sit at home even though I don’t live in the US I know my time will come.
But I do think that a lot can be gained by doing things that the media will find attractive as a story. Peaceful and non-violent protest is the only way to go.
