In the end, the nation is tired of this crap. Tomorrow night I am bringing you a candidate for the Congressional 9th District of Indiana, Jerry Lucas, who wants people to stand for principles and not for whatever cause gets a man elected. This man is a United States Military veteran, not a liberal Republican, nor one who wished to be the flavor of the day for the voters so as to just win the election. Tune in Friday night, September 3rd, at 6:15 P.M. Eastern Time (3:15 P.M. Pacific Time) to hear the man tell it like it is, and in this host’s opinion, how every candidate should profess their beliefs. You can view his web page and ideals by clicking on this link.
I personally am exhausted. The past ten days have been a whirlwind at home, at work, and on the radio. News events seem to be spiraling out of control again and the constant whipsaw between hope, change, hope, change, and of course Hope and Change have left me with the conclusion that no one inside the Washington, D.C. area, much less our state capitol of Tallahassee, Florida, have a single damned clue as to what the hell they are doing and the impact it is having on all of us. I am going to address some serious stories tonight since last night was unwittingly a bizarro news night thanks to the Discovery Channel Bomber and pathetic Japanese Bachelors.
Lastly, the tired economy. The headlines are demonstrably being pumped up to try to lure the terminally stupid into handing their wallets over to the Wall Street vampires so they can suck the last little bit out of your retirement account. I shall be discussing the news releases on the economy the last two days, a Municide update, and the markets during the nightly Banana Republic Update where it would appear a major decline is being set up; one the experts are swearing can not and will not happen.

September 2, 2010
Last night on my radio program, I covered a story from Reuters which was released shortly after the weekly Mortgage Bankers Association report on mortgage applications. The story was titled in a very cleaver fashion:
Home loan demand rises as rates hit new low
The story began with this bolded sentence:
U.S. mortgage applications for home purchasing and refinancing increased last week as interest rates hit a new low, a glimmer of hope for a housing market that has failed to find footing in the absence of government support.
Wow. Everything in the media is good news, right? It’s the summer of recovery and everything is cooking right along so that house on your street corner that has been on the market for 21 months must be a mirage because more people are wanting loans and thus more homes must be selling. As you read the entire article, you’ll find that there is one key omission from the story. The closest thing to mentioning the big missing detail was in this sentence:
Demand for home purchase loans has been tepid, but it nevertheless rose for a second straight week. The MBA’s seasonally adjusted purchase index, a tentative early indicator of home sales, increased 1.8 percent.
Unfortunately for the news media, there are people like myself who look at the raw numbers (unadjusted) when the MBA reports the data (or any other economic data release for that matter) and in their press releases, they are polite enough to inform those who wish to read the hard truth. The information that housing sales fell off a cliff in the past two months came as an “unexpected” shock to many in the media but if they would remove their bias to make the administration and its economic policies look like they are working instead of creating wishful headlines of hope, they might find the truth staring them in the face.
The following links are to each week’s MBA Press Releases with the key sentence and data that tells the truth about housing in the portions I have put in bold and italics. Read some facts and understand why I am so skeptical about almost any economic news story presented by our beloved MSM and how they manage to indulge in creative truth telling to avoid reporting the nasty reality which is really occurring.
From the September 1, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 0.4 percent compared with the previous week and was 37.0 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
From the August 25, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 1.1 percent compared with the previous week and was 38.8 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
From the August 18, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 4.6 percent compared with the previous week and was 38.6 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
From the August 11, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 0.3 percent compared with the previous week and was 34.1 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
From the August 4, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index increased 1.5 percent compared with the previous week, was up 7.1 percent relative to four weeks ago, but was 33.7 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
From the July 28, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index increased 2.4 percent compared with the previous week and was 34.3 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
From the July 21, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index increased 15.3 percent compared with the previous week and was 35.7 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
That is just a sample of the news you will not hear on the mainstream media (MSM) yet this has been an ongoing theme to highlight which ever variation of the press release or statistic which makes it seem that happy times are here again. This was happening in June also as you can see from the June 30, 2010 MBA Release:
The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 3.8 percent compared with the previous week and was 36.0 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
It is my sincere hope that you use this information to empower yourself when you consider what you hear in the media and take every headline, every piece of news with a huge grain of salt. There is always more data, more factual information behind every headline and that is why the word “unexpected” usually occurs when even their propaganda writers can not put lipstick on any particular pig of a data point released to the public.
To be fair, the weeks where the unadjusted Purchase Index saw week over week increases were attributed by some members of the media to the tax credit fiasco which is now proving to be an utter and complete failure as it drew demand forward but did nothing but trap people in the equivalent of the new car purchase syndrome. What is the new car purchase syndrome you might ask? The average car buyer does not pay attention to the value of the vehicles they purchase as the majority of buyers fail to understand that the minute they take possession of the vehicle and drive it off the lot, the value of that car drops anywhere from ten to twenty percent. This same principle can be applied to any home purchased in the past twelve months. While the media promotes flowery statistical information about how home prices have increased in markets across the country, the reality is displayed in the reports I have highlighted above and the nasty little secret that of those new home purchase applications, depending on which source you use, forty-five to fifty-three percent of applications are declined, thus the same home buyer could be applying every thirty to forty days for a new mortgage application in an attempt to close on a home sale before the extended tax credit deadline expires. It also means that if the new or existing home buyer were to attempt to sell that house right after they purchased it within say thirty to ninety days, they would be upside down almost immediately in the majority of markets in the United States.
This dark secret your real estate agent will not tell you is nothing new but must be taken under consideration if you are in a profession which requires the ability to relocate to remain viable in your chosen field. Odds are that by December of this year, that home you purchased will lose in value that $8,000 you received as a “tax credit” in many markets across the land. You’re buying a car, not a home, and it is not going to retain any valuation nor help you build equity until the economy truly bottoms out and the long term deleveraging process has been completed. Keep this fact in mind as your Realtor bangs on the hood and promises you that the home you are interested in has only had one owner and it was a little old lady from Pasadena.

Totally Unhinged – The War Against God, Righteousness & Christians
(excerpted)
In solidarity with the Secular Christian-hating Leftists, many self-described Christian “patriots” also went beserk with as much vomitous vitriol as their Ruling Class media counterparts. They decided they would not stand with the Lord if it entailed standing with a man whose politics and doctrinal positions they did not agree with.
Instead they decried those who organized the rally as being in league with the Devil, and those who went with being deceived and blinded sheep. So they undertook the same efforts as those on the Secular and Marxist Left – and ardently warned America to stay away from; to ridicule; demean; smear; and even boldly attack Beck’s denominational faith. To plead with America that Beck’s call and assembly was not to be followed, listened to or acknowledged, even if his call was for the nation to repent and turn back to God.
It is a sad day when “patriots” align themselves with Marxists to achieve what will become a hollow victory. Too bad they are ignorant of history and what happened in Europe in nations like Italy when the “Catholic Patriots” aligned themselves with the Mussolini regime which resulted in twenty years of brutality and war, leaving that nation bankrupt both morally and economically for a full generation.
]]>September 1, 2010
There are few issues in my life that stir up more emotion than American patriotism, hypocrisy, and history as it relates to our nation and the events happening during my lifetime. Because of one man, who I and many others can attribute all of the problems we are debating in this brief blog entry, I can offer only one statement somewhat modified from it’s original form which summarizes the ensuing discussion:
G*D Damn you Glenn Beck
While this might appear to be a similar rant apparently parodying the good Reverend Wright of President Obama’s “past” and the commentary he offered about America, the truth is not far from how I am sure the good Reverend felt after his words and actions were revealed and rebroadcast on Mr. Beck’s program repeatedly. Why do I dare say G.D. old Glenn? Well, let’s talk about hypocrisy for starters.
For years he preached about the ultimate “Progressive” that Senator John McCain was and still to this day is. What does he do in November of 2008? Old Glenn proclaims: “I voted for Sarah Palin, not John McCain.” Bunk. That’s the ultimate in hypocrisy and to this day I continue to call him out on that. Then Sarah Palin “returns the favor” by helping Senator McCain in his re-election bid by campaigning for him in Arizona and Glenn dares to act incredulous. Is this the only incidence of Glenn’s hypocrisy? Of course not.
Glenn has become a spokesperson and friend of the National Rifle Association and its President Wayne LaPierre. While engaging in support for this organization, Glenn has refused to address the issues of their contributions in the past to Senator Harry Reid’s campaigns and another liberal, Senator John Dingell (D-MI). In fact while Sarah Palin was with the Tea Party Express protesting in front of Senator Reid’s home in Searchlight, Nevada, Glenn was oddly silent about the event occurring at the same time, Slick LaPierre’s lunch time meeting with Senator Reid in Las Vegas. And to this date, the lack of commentary on the N.R.A.’s endorsement of the progressive Senator McCain speaks volumes, at least to myself. I am not sure if this is hypocrisy on these issues in they eyes of some, but if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, well you get the idea.
Fast forward to August 28, 2010 and the hoopla surrounding the gathering in Washington, D.C. The American people are spoon fed information from various mainstream media outlets leading people to believe the gathering is a political recruitment device concocted by a gathering of conspiratorial conservatives and those evil Tea Party types who actually sit in their Mom’s basements screaming “Wolverines!” every chance they get. That would be the somewhat “left” perspective of the event before and after it happened. On the flip side the real conspiratorial loons of the alleged right accused Mr. Beck of using this “gathering” as an opportunity for several goals. One group is accusing Glenn of attempting to usurp all faiths and create a universalism movement where the lines between various denominations within Christianity is deliberately blurred so those evil Mormons can take over the religious leadership in our country. Another group from the woo-woo patrol is accusing Mr. Beck of conniving to deceive “true Christians” by conning them into believing that working with other Christian sects and those evil Joos and Muzzies will diminish and destroy the “real God” and cause America to be damned to Satanic rule.
Thus the attack goes after the modern day version of the persecution of 1930′s German Jews of our society, the Church of Latter Day Saints. For some strange reason there are people within our society that view the Mormon faith as dangerous. Perhaps I am ignorant of recent American history, if so then someone can correct me then if I am wrong but:
- Last I checked, there were no Mormon hijackers on 9/11, nor pilots of any of the planes that killed thousands of Americans that fateful day.
- I’ve never heard of Mormon Suicide Bombers putting on vests and running into crowds of people, including U.S. soldiers, and detonating themselves.
- It wasn’t a Mormon who committed an act of terrorism and slaughtered all of those soldiers at Ft. Hood, TX.
- I’ve never heard, read, or born witness to any aspect of the Mormon faith demanding the U.S. Constitution accommodate “their” legal system, nor modify the document to assimilate the American people to their faith.
- Mormons are not setting up churches nationwide while calling us “infidels” or beheading our citizens overseas.
I’m just sayin’.
The scariest aspect of what I have witnessed in the past week has not been the hucksters like the welfare poverty pimp, Al Sharpton’s protest and typically fictional accounts of reality and the events which happened in Washington, D.C. this past weekend. The most horrifying aspect of the entire time period was the apparent willingness of American citizens who proclaim to be people of faith aligning themselves with Marxist ideologues to attack an event based solely on a harmless religious doctrine which just happens to be the faith of the 8/28 organizer. Based on this it is safe enough to presume then that Christmas should be canceled because those dastardly Mormons celebrate it also and that means those evil trees are actually antennas designed to receive mind control instructional videos from Salt Lake City, Utah.
What I would like to know is where were all these Christian hypocrites when another Mormon, Senator Harry Reid (D-UT) proposed and ushered through act after act which expanded the integration of Marxism into the American economy and codifying activities which in the future could possibly endanger their ability to engage in activities unique to their versions of Christian belief? Why were they silent about Dirty Harry’s religious beliefs when he was engaged in the praise of our enemies, support of the dilution of the Constitution, and engagement with the President to expand the ability of the Federal government to dilute their freedoms? Is it perhaps the hypocrisy I accuse Mr. Beck of pales compared to the sinful act of Envy these alleged religious leaders have apparently engaged in over the past ninety-six hours?
The reader may wish to take his or her time to search for articles relating to Senator Reid’s religious beliefs or how it pertains to the legislation of Socialized Medicine, Cass Sunstein’s Financial Reform Act, and the Stimulus Slush Fund but you will find nothing from any of the preachers, reverends, philosopher’s, or commentators who are attacking Mr. Beck or the Mormon faith recently.
Those who believe that this is an evil Mormon plot to seize control or some other such silly conspiracy, I have but one thing to say to you:
You suckers, you dupes, you useful idiots are doing nothing more than succumbing to the devils of history we already know….
Hegel, Engels, and Marx.
You launch your “holier than thou” attacks on Glenn Beck’s Mormon beliefs but not once did he demand conversion of faith, or you attend a LDS service, nor travel to Salt Lake City to beg for forgiveness. When people applauded his generous and charitable actions to open the American public’s heart and soul to the ideals of restoring Faith and Honor in our society to save our nation, you dared scoff and accused him of proselytizing to convert the souls of your families and those of your followers. Masking your commentary with unrelated Bible passages to justify your attacks, you hypocrites of sin assumed that the sheep of your flock will expand by attempting to engage in the art of deception to expand your audience and promote your careers. I shall not nor will I dare expand upon that by mentioning your filthy tripe on these pages nor engaging in the religious bigotry so ignorantly displayed by your spite so as to publicize you any further.
In the mean time, your efforts do nothing but allow you to surrender and serve as the willing whore, a dupe for the powers of darkness who dance you around like a puppet, with the Obama administration’s Marxist idealists on one string and the Islamofacists on the other. They laugh at your actions as their plans succeed because you fear a man and a religion more than you fear the Lord, thus allowing the strategy of “divide and conquer” the opening it needs to destroy the ideals of liberty and freedom you claim to profess. Your efforts, your lack of foresight, and your deceitful ways shall have no impact, because the “true believers” in our nation will not entangle themselves in your puppet strings and will not remain in the darkness of ignorance, a fear that our Founding Fathers had which caused them great trepidation as they demonstrated a willingness to sacrifice their lives for your very existence.
So many have written on their blogs of the evil of Mormonism and its impact on “Christian” society yet these same authors and commentators of the faith stay silent as they pump Saudi petroleum products into their vehicles as that nation enslaves, rapes, tortures, and murders Christian families and children; as they have for over twelve hundred years. According to the information that I have available as of tonight, there were no slaves in the state of Utah, nor a policy of persecution by the Mormon faith.
Keep it up you clowns as you suckle to a narrow-minded belief system which accommodates the twisted desires of the left all in the name of your “true God” and the beliefs you wish to share with the multitudes. Sadly your efforts to profit, to engage in acts of personal jealousy to make a name for yourselves on the coat tails of a man who did nothing more than work hard to achieve success and to share those blessings will yield you no fruit and only a bitter ending for your attacks upon the 8/28 events. While you attempt to divide the believers of Liberty and Freedom in an attempt to protect and expand your flock, these very actions and words are handing a victory to your future masters; the Marxists who ultimately will eradicate your religion, your freedoms, and the ideals of protecting the one and only “true God” of yours, which ceases to exist, after you assist them in attaining success.
NOTE: The * in the title is not the letter “o” nor am I cursing Mr. Beck in any way shape or fashion as I am not as shallow of the President’s former religious adviser. Let the false prophets and misguided souls do their works of propaganda and evil for the left, as I shall not. For the good that Glenn does in our society, our nation, and for our Constitution, I say a hearty “GOD BLESS YOU GLENN” and not the narrow minded persecution being engaged in by many at this time. My personal fear is that the Mormon faith shall be selected as the “Jews” for a future holocaust, not much unlike that of the 1930′s in Germany, but similar to the practices of persecution and prosecution for the convenience of the powerful, to cover for their errors in judgment and mismanagement of our nation’s affairs. I have nothing but praise for the LDS, their suffering and successes, and their belief system. For the record, I have not nor ever have been a member of the Mormon church nor participated in their faith, it’s practices, or services.

The crisis that we’ll discuss is the terrorist act in the Jordanian West Bank region under terrorist control tonight and the implications for the weeks and months to come as the Middle East disaster comes to a head finally.
Lastly the market’s recent action has set the economic table for all to see and despite the protestations of those idiots at Bubblevision, the nightmare scenario is now set and if this follows through, the United States could be left in the dustbin of current history barring a miracle. And that’s just what those running the circus desire.

]]>During the “Survival Hour” at 7 P.M. ET, I have the pleasure of welcoming a special guest to the program who prefers to go by his online handle of “US Kiwi”. This is a man who took the idea of bugging out literally by seeing the crisis in the United States ahead of the curve and departed our fair lands to hunker down in New Zealand. For those who wish to criticize and call this cowardly, I simply reply that a wise man who can return and rebuild is better than a dead man being fed to the pigs of Marxist history.
We are not going to discuss the “how to” of this matter but the philosophical and practical side of the sometimes inflammatory issue where we focus on saving some of the people for the future, to rebuild what appears to be an inevitably destructive end to this great experiment our Founding Fathers began over 200 years ago.
