Interesting article.

But Obama is not taken seriously by the Russians.

Obama cut and ran in Iraq and pulled all U.S. troops out.

Obama has already announced the U.S. will end the war in Afghanistan next year, without any victory, and the U.S. will just cut and run from Afghanistan next year.

Obama singed a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty on Russian terms that cuts only U.S. weapons.

Russia has no reason to believe Obama will stand up for anything the Russians do not agree with.

Obama is either going to have to prove he is not bluffing in Syria and ramp up the Syrian Civil War to prove the Russians wrong, or,

Or, Obama will just cut and run in Syria and leave U.S. allies ( Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Israel ) once again betrayed by the United States.

Either way, more, not less, war is coming to the Middle East thanks to Obama.

The Noske's locals are gelling. A hand full of political sociopaths always go to far. Remember RC this script has already been noted even before this current sculpted persona non grata construct. Consider the rhetorical tools and precisely what Athens considered a thought map forward. Thucydides already told us what these maniacs are thinking and the factors they only wish to consider on the other side of the rhetorical map "worthy to consider". Like he noted when exiled the gravity that was execised was the stratagem of avarice bound to ideological hubris. If you consider this context look up the later campaigns and the true issues as root cause. As you note the current Office is just a narrative just as the interlopers are now. You will find that in time it will need be amended as in unfolded further. Putin knows the list after these maniacs are dis-batched and the current bent of mind as he secures the southern arc he reestablished and only wants time to drain its swamp since he has a free pass as narrow thoughts overlook to the further south.

Ever since their forced annexation to the Russian empire in the last century, the Chechens have never willingly accepted Russian rule. However, since the population of Chechnya has never been more than a fraction of the Russian, the Chechens have had to wait until Russia was weak or distracted before attempting to assert any new claim of independence. During the Russian Civil War (1917-20), the Chechens declared their sovereignty and established a "theocratic democracy", until the Red Army finally suppressed them in 1920. The scene was repeated during the German drive east in WW II, when many Chechens joined the Nazi's anti-Communist campaign. For this "treachery", the entire people was deported to the deserts of Central Asia. It is estimated that 30-40% of the population died either during transit or in the brutal conditions of forced exile.

When they where released from the gulags they walked back.

Russia has moved beyond the threshold and the rest of the world is watching. These kinds of inhuman and genocidal attacks are unacceptable in a modern world that has transcended the old cold war ideological wars. Russia is fighting to impose its leftist ideology on a country that has embraced democracy and enjoyed its positive results. Russia must stop the savagery acts and if not, the rest of the world should swing into action
Magoola *****- Kampala Uganda

The separatist authorities in Georgia's other breakaway region of Abkhazia announce a full military mobilization, saying they have sent 1,000 troops to drive Georgian forces from their only remaining stronghold in the Kodori Gorge. The US government deplores the "disproportionate and dangerous escalation" by Russia in the conflict and warns it could have a "significant" long-term impact on US-Russian relations.

New York-based Human Rights Watch, which tracks government abuse, has accused Kadyrov’s forces of abductions and torture, allegations he has repeatedly denied.
Dagestan, which is three times the size of Chechnya and more than twice as populous, warned Kadyrov against conducting security deployments on its territory without prior approval, according to Zikrula Ilyasov, the region’s first deputy national affairs minister.

The other ring of doom is and has been online for some time. John has noted this also. Remember the original Taliban got highjacked point blank. I leave with this query on the Taliban who know what is to the north and to the south and even they must admit that now front and center. The point is now they must pull the thumb out there a#$ or mouth, but there Rubicon is here and they know this IMO.
They collapsed pissing in there ear and tell them its raining and we are recovering albeit ugly from the grave yard of empires even Kipling noted. I will post a ISDN for some relevant reading later. Like we noted the internal issues are just mindless idiots who need to be removed as in the IRStasi and the morons sticking gloves up a wife ass. We do not fly because of these slope retards.

totalitarian political system masquerading as a religion

moderates understand confusion shelters corruption

As we move into the true lense they cannot even pretend to understand another is of Genesis 11: Bible Page that I found in the WTC rubble. Finding that page inspired me to stay on and finish the task of documenting the Recovery. I didn't realize what the exact verse was until hours later when I looked at the image with a magnifying glass. My mouth fell open when I saw it was the Tower of Babel.
Amos knew this also ....They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east;they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
but they shall not find it. also the nations which shall hear all these statutes' shall say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Nope just mindless sheep as in the day of Noah.

There other markers beyond the ability of these people to see since they are already sealed......Call is you want since time after time the markers are
already known. I am seeing confusion even beyond my expectations in numerous dialectic analysis of studies. Sometimes bias is fun, or not, but we trade
our capital here. Went long with some VNR on and PBA in (b)

There simply is no reason for the bears to cover and thus no reason for the bulls to chase prices higher either.

Sums up recent flow as Dan notes. Santelli layed the wood to the cult debt monkey retards today. Sorry Rick they are not worth
the analysis anymore.

The term "amplifier" covers up that the energy comes entirely from the mains and largely leaves the devices as a loss. Because of energy conservation you cannot make a large power from a small power. However, one can at least transfer the data from a weak to a strong current.

As my Wife also conveyed when she tutored at the University you have to print now since anything else is beyond there ability.

Obama Care - Now the people who work in local governments across the United States are Reading It ...

and Oh My - They do not Like what they are reading.

The Linked Investor's Business Daily Article wrote:
...

local governments across the country have been quietly doing exactly the same thing — cutting part-time hours specifically so they can skirt ObamaCare's costly employer mandate, while complaining about the law in some of the harshest terms anyone has uttered in public.

The result is that part-time government workers — many of them low-income — face pay cuts that can top $3,000 a year, and yet will still be left without employer-provided benefits.

Here is just a small sampling of local news reports about what local government officials are saying about ObamaCare, and the steps they're taking to avoid or minimize its costs.

Phillipsburg, Kan.: "School administrators here say they are alarmed and confounded by the looming new costs they face with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act," according to the Kaiser Health Institute News Service. Chris Hipp, director of a Kansas special education cooperative, warned that ObamaCare's costs "could put us all out of business or change significantly how we do business," adding that "we are not built to pay full health benefits for noncertified folks who work a little more than 1,000 hours a year."

Dearborn, Mich.: "If we had to provide health care and other benefits to all of our employees, the burden on the city would be tremendous," said Mayor John O'Reilly, explaining why the city is cutting its more than 700 part-time and seasonal workers down to 28 hours a week. "The city is like any private or public employer having to adjust to changes in the law."

Indiana: "What I'm seeing across the state is school districts, unfortunately, having to reduce the hours that they are having some of their folks work, primarily so they don't have to worry about the (ObamaCare) penalties, or they don't have to provide them health insurance, which would be very, very costly," said Dennis Costerison, executive director of the Indiana Association of School Business Officials. Ft. Wayne Community Schools, for example, are cutting yours for nearly three-quarters of its part-time aides.

Omaha, Neb.: "The biggest problem is everyone said that ObamaCare is only going to help cut costs. Nothing could be further from the truth," said Mike Kennedy , who serves on the board of Millard Public Schools, just outside the city, and figures ObamaCare will raise its costs by $400,000. A neighboring school district is reducing hours for up to 281 part-time employees to avoid $2.5 million in new costs, which will result in pay cuts of up to $3,300.

Long Beach, Calif.: "We are in the same boat as many employers," said Tom Modica, Long Beach's director of government affairs. "We need to maintain the programs and service levels we have now." So the city is going to cut hours for 200 part-time workers so it doesn't have to pay $2 million to provide health benefits.

Salt Lake City: "With new provisions in the Affordable Care Act, there was going to be a significant burden upon Granite School District and our taxpayers to offset the cost of benefits," said spokesman Ben Horsley. He says covering the district's part-time workers would cost about $14 million, and so about 1,000 will have their hours cut to 29 a week.

Cape May County, N.J.: "A number of people in the nation who read it are recognizing how detrimental (ObamaCare is) to government and private employers out there," said Gerald Thornton, the county's finance director who is trying to figure out how to budget for the law.

Virginia: "The Commonwealth of Virginia is grappling with the same issues that many businesses in the private sector are as they struggle to deal with the costs imposed by the Affordable Care Act," Paul Logan, a spokesman for Gov. McDonnell, said. The state is requiring that about 7,000 part-time government workers put in no more than 29 hours a week.

Texas: "The Affordable Care Act has added so much complexity and administrative burden that there is nothing affordable about it," said Jared Pope, who is consulting with Texas municipal governments on ObamaCare. Dallas expects its health costs to climb $2.1 million next year. Plano is cutting hours to avoid $1 million in new costs.

Kern County, Calif.: "It will affect multiple departments, a majority of departments," said the county's deputy administrative officer Eric Nisbett, explaining that unless the county cut worker hours for 800 employees, ObamaCare would cost it up to $8 million a year.

Allegheny County, Pa.: "There's frustration and anger and sadness and resentment, you know, but you don't have a voice," said adjunct English professor Clint Benjamin in the wake of the Community College of Allegheny County's decision to cut hours for about 400 adjunct faculty and other employees so it wouldn't have to pay $6 million in ObamaCare-related fees next year.

Medina, Ohio: "We feel bad as a city administration and as a council in having to cut hours from 35 to 29," Medina Mayor Dennis Hanwell said. "We have the budget to pay the people, but we do not have the budget to pay for the health care." If they hadn't made that cut, the city faced up to $1 million in new health costs courtesy of ObamaCare.

Birmingham, Mich. Commissioner Gordon Rinschler may have summed up best the reaction that countless businesses and governments are having to ObamaCare, saying: "We simply can't afford the Affordable Care Act."

Medicare will typically assert a lien against certain assets, such as your home, so that it can potentially recover some of the money it has paid for your care after you die. If you acquire sufficient assets that you no longer qualify for Medicare, then you would stop receiving those benefits until your assets are spent down to a qualifying level. CRA to get you in and ACA to take it back.

The Yen is down 3% in the last 24 hours. The 5 year bonds are paying 0.35% per year for 5 years, totalling 1.76% after 5 years of compounding. The currency dropped twice this in one day. Only an idiot would hold JGBs. There soon will be a shortage of idiots. When the panic to get out of JGBs comes then the central bank monetizes like crazy and they get hyperinflation.

When Japan gets hyperinflation someone will say, "well a stopped clock is right once in awhile". But I am not just making lots of random predictions, with some coming true. I think I really explain hyperinflation:

Believe me, dear Sir: there is not in the British empire a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But, by the God that made me, I will cease to exist before I yield to a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose; and in this, I think I speak the sentiments of America.
—Thomas Jefferson, November 29, 1775

So when Edward Snowden proposes upholding that Constitution it is not for those undermining it to call HIM a Traitor?

I hear them to purpose Justice no matter how long it takes. Truly by the living God you are given over and sealed.
