The last Circus Side Show in America

Although this contains no blood or nudity I wouldn't allow younger children to watch this because it may turn their stomachs a bit as it did mine.



This is just a Vegas show...



As always, best for last and this one is [CFK], that means "Cool For Kids" in tech savvy internet language...

The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank & the reality of money.

Rothchild, J.P. Morgan and the few that control the worlds economy.

This is the invisible government and they are the next governing superpower of the future.

Watch if you dare. This is 3 hours and 36 minutes but well worth the viewing.

A very disturbing view on the history of the United States of America.

The authors of this documentary outline the concepts of New World Order in it's earliest stages. Many of the points of this commentary tie into historical incidents that others have brought up slightly but failed to completely tie together in a time line to offer credibility to the theories.

What this film does show is greed beyond exception, the failure of societies to grasp the truth of reality when offered so many different concepts to choose from and the narrow selfish focus of the people concerning real change with cause and effect presenting itself squarely at them.

It is sad to say that most of mankind will accept "good enough for now" and leave the risks of change to be dealt with by the next generation (their own children) before they will accept their roles being played out predicating the future of reality that for sure is soon to follow. Hoping for and dreaming of a narrow escape from disaster is in my eye by no way an attempt at cause for resolution or in any way pro-active towards the hope for protecting the future of those among us who will need to survive through these changes.

This film really is a "must see" for all. Below is a post of it in 425 X 344 format, here is also a link to it that should open up in full screen for you [full screen view link], just hit [F12] key to hide tool bars, etc...



The title is "1932, A True History of The United States", I only added the title for search engines to use.

Is Unemployment the Worst Since the Great Depression?

Is Unemployment the Worst Since the Great Depression?

The "Great Recession" is the name that has stuck for the economic decline that began in late 2007. But there's some reason to think that using the word recession is being kind.

The U.S. gross domestic product has shrunk 3.9 percent in the past year, the worst drop since the Great Depression. Plenty of observers are willing to say that this recession is much deeper than anything we've seen since the 1930s--including the big dip in the early 1980s, generally accepted as the other candidate for the worst recession since the Great Depression. "I think it's way worse today," says Ridgely Evers of Tapit Partners, a longtime entrepreneur and venture capitalist who founded the software company Netbooks (now known as WorkingPoint). In the recession of 1981 and 1982, "people recognized it as a dip. [Today,] nobody thinks we are going to come back out in relatively short order." This recession seems to have dragged on longer. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the U.S. economy was in recession from July 1981 to November 1982--16 months. But the current recession started in December 2007, says the NBER, so it's already longer than the last big one.

[See Why the Housing Rebound Could Take 20 Years.]

The NBER defines a "recession" based on the all-encompassing gross domestic product figure. That economy-wide statistic may not mean much to the average American. In other words, the question "What is the economy's output?" usually doesn't matter as much as "How hard is it to find a job?" When we look at that question, how does the "Great Recession" compare?

[See 10 Countries in Deep Trouble.]

The unemployment rate is a murky number. It seems simple enough to look at the national unemployment figures released every month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In July, that number was 9.4 percent. At the peak of the early '80s recession--December 1982--unemployment hit 10.8 percent.

So where's the murkiness? The problem is that many of the people one would think of as "unemployed" are not included in this unemployment rate. For one, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not count unemployed people who have been discouraged by the labor market and have given up looking for work. You are counted as a "discouraged worker" if you are available to work, want to work, and tried to look for work in the past year but gave up within four weeks for reasons including the belief that no work is available. The fact that the national unemployment rate excludes these discouraged workers has led many observers to believe it does not reflect the "real" level of unemployment. "Ask the average person if he or she is unemployed, and there is little hesitation in giving you an answer, but that may not agree with government definitions," says John Williams, an economist who examines government statistics at shadowstats.com.

Other people who aren't counted in the official number are those who have been forced by the economy to work part time. The number of workers who wanted full-time jobs but could find only part-time work was 1.8 million last month, which amounts to 1.3 percent of the labor force. Still, that's not as bad as December 1982, when forced part-time workers accounted for 3 percent of the labor force.

What happens when you start counting all these people who have been heavily battered by the labor market? The Bureau of Labor Statistics has another rate that includes "marginally affected workers" and part-time workers. That number, referred to as U-6 because of its identification in bureaureports, was 16.3 percent last month--nearly 7 percentage points higher than the official unemployment rate. What's more, the number of people who have given up on finding work has been steadily rising over the past few months, from 685,000 in May to 796,000 in July. "If you have that number of people leaving the workforce, that seems to me a serious problem," says economist John Lott.

Many people are giving up because the labor market is so bad--but how bad historically? A U-6 rate of more than 16 percent certainly does not compare to the Great Depression, when a quarter of the workforce was unemployed. And Williams points out that a much larger number of workers were agricultural workers in the 1930s. These farm workers are not included in today's statistics. So, by his estimates, nonfarm unemployment was at 35 percent in 1933). Trying to compare that U-6 number with the early '80s recession gets a bit tricky. The U-6 measurement did not come into use until 1994. Before that, the Bureau of Labor Statistics used a broader measurement, referred to as U-7, to figure out the number of unemployed plus workers dropping out of the labor force. In 1982, U-7 hit a peak of 15.3 percent, below the current U-6 of 16.3 percent. But 1982 should probably look even better compared with the labor market of today. U-7 overestimates the number of discouraged workers compared with how we measure them today. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics started asking people in surveys if they were actually available to work. These and other changes reduced the measurement of discouraged workers by 50 percent, according to some estimates.

So if you care not just about people who meet the official definition of "unemployed" but also about people who are dropping out of the labor force, 2009 seems to be trailing 1982 in terms of the health of the labor market. Williams says that when he takes into consideration people who haven't looked for work in more than a year because they can't find jobs, the real unemployment rate today goes all the way up to 20.6 percent by his calculations. "It won't take much to get it to the worst since the Great Depression," he says.

Peeping-Tom theme park.

New park offers X-rated views of NYC hotel guests

NEW YORK – Some guests at a New York City hotel near an elevated park have been offering unobstructed views of themselves.

Guests at the Standard Hotel in Manhattan keep failing to close the curtains as they frolic naked in front of their rooms' floor-to-ceiling windows, easily viewed from the High Line park below. The park recently opened atop an abandoned elevated rail line.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has called the hotel's window action "unacceptable."

Aaron Lipman works in the neighborhood and says the shows are "healthy and fun." He says they're like TV's "Wild Kingdom."

The hotel issued a statement Monday saying its managers will try to "remind guests of the transparency" of the windows.

The hotel won an award from the Municipal Arts Society of New York for best new building erected last year.


Blaa-blaa-blaa... I'll just watch my nudes on the net and avoid traffic in New York.


Someone should tell these morons that full nudity is 100% legal in New York anyway, but nobody there ever bothers to go naked because New Yorkers are ugly!

This is fantastic news! Not often you hear anything good anymore but Blessings are for this family...

Jaycee after 18 years returns home.

Police: Sex offender, wife arrested in kidnap.











"Play video at this link [here] if it works."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Police say a convicted sex offender and his wife have been arrested in the kidnapping of an 11-year-old in 1991 who recently walked into a Northern California police station.

Police say 58-year-old Phillip Garrido and his 54-year-old wife Nancy Garrido were arrested in the kidnapping case Wednesday. The Megan's Law database says Phillip Garrido has a conviction for rape by force or fear.

The woman came into a San Francisco Bay area police station and said she was Jaycee Lee Dugard, a blond, ponytailed girl when she was abducted as she headed to a school bus stop 18 years ago.

The woman was in good health. It was not immediately clear when she had surfaced at the station.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sheriff's officials said Thursday they believe a woman who walked into a police station had been kidnapped as an 11-year-old in 1991 outside her South Lake Tahoe home. Two people were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping.

The woman came into a San Francisco Bay area police station and said she was Jaycee Lee Dugard, a blond, ponytailed girl when she was abducted as she headed to a school bus stop 18 years ago, said sheriff's Lt. Les Lovell of the El Dorado Sheriff's Department.

"We're 99 percent sure it's her," Lovell said. He said DNA tests were being conducted. The woman was in good health. It was not immediately clear when she had surfaced at the station.

Lovell said Concord police did an investigation after the woman surfaced, and he received a call Wednesday from investigators who had tentatively identified her as Dugard.

Her family has been contacted and they are in the process of arranging a meeting, said Lovell, who was a detective assigned to help investigate the kidnapping in 1991. "We are very confident at this point in time that it is her."

Jimmie Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, said FBI and El Dorado sheriff's deputies arrested two suspects Wednesday night. They were being held in the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez.

Lee said the two were being held for investigation of several charges, including kidnapping, but he could not elaborate.

Law enforcement sources said authorities were also searching a home in Antioch.

Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, said the news was like winning the lottery.

"To have this happen where we get her back alive, and where she remembers things from the past, and to have people in custody is a triple win," he told The Sacramento Bee.

Witnesses reported that a vehicle with two people drove up to Dugard and abducted her while her stepfather was watching on June 10, 1991, the Sheriff's Department said in a news release Thursday.

In media reports at the time, the girl's stepfather said he heard Jaycee scream then jumped on a bicycle and frantically pedaled after the car in a failed effort to follow it up a hill. He then turned around and screamed at neighbors to call 911.

The case attracted national attention and was featured on TV's "America's Most Wanted," which broadcast a composite drawing of a suspect seen in the car.

Probyn said his wife, Terry, had spoken with Dugard by phone on Wednesday. He said the mother and their 19-year-old daughter were flying from their Southern California home to meet with Dugard in Northern California.

Investigators first visited with his wife about three weeks ago, he said.

Probyn said he endured years of suspicion from FBI agents who believed he may have been involved in the abduction. He eventually lost hope that he would ever see his stepdaughter alive.

"Then you pray that you get her body back so there is an ending," Probyn said.

Lovell said investigators have been working the case consistently since she was abducted and new leads had surfaced over time.

"You bet it's a surprise. This is not the normal resolution to a kidnapping," he said.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Down by the river (1970)

A classic!

The history of and how to play the Sitar

Brian Jones, George Harrison and a handful of other musicians brought the Eastern sound of the sitar into Rock & Roll. For me it was a very interesting sound that even today I find very comforting to hear.

This film is about 1 hour, 40 minutes long so to hear and view it properly I recommend you download the file using Orbit Down-loader or ANT.Com's Ant toolbar. Some of the info on how to do that I have posted on another page [here]. The Ant toolbar link is [here], I myself use both down-loaders with Ant as my preference because with it you can allow a film to buffer for a few minutes and watch it while it completes downloading in full screen. The advantage to that is the film won't often skip or lose buffer and you can seek through it easier.

Watch this video to learn the basics on how to play the sitar. Click [here]

Nebraska, Pedophile capitol of the nation???

This is a copy of a documentary which was pulled out before being broadcast on the Discovery Channel and deals with pedophilia in a institution for orphans, "Boys Town, Nebraska", with involvement of high figures of U.S. Political Establishment (Congress). The quality is pretty bad, I'm sorry, but that's the only version I have, and I believe its still watchable.

(That was a quote from original post.)

Following is a quote from opening sequence of the film. The film will be posted in the bottom of this post after I'm done addressing my intentions on the topic.

"On Tuesday May 3rd 1994 this program was scheduled to air on The Discovery Channel.

Influential members of the congress applied pressure to stop the airing of the program and destroy all copies.

It was already listed in the April 30th-May 6th issue of TV Guide and newspaper supplements.

The Discovery Channel and Yorkshire Television were reimbursed the 1/4 to 1/2 million dollars production costs.

THIS IS THE PROGRAM THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE"




Cyndi Lauper "All through the night"

This is Miss Cyndi Lauper.

I'm sorry to admit it but I missed most all of her career. It seems to me looking back now that she fell categorically into a box defined by the recording industry of bimbo's and child consuming media freaks.

I know I heard parts of her music in the past. I know some of it sounded like fair to decent fluff. What I did not know was she had real talent. I was under the impression she was only a made up replica of a musician designed only to seduce 11 to 14 year old girls into new fashion, attitude adjustments and conflict.

Turns out now she might have been used to represent some of those pre to mid-teen ideologies but in fact she is fantastic and all I can see is that her talent was short changed on her by executives and puff-ball greedy wanna-bee's.

This is the Cyndi Lauper I wish I had heard more from, Enjoy!
