A snowfall can be wondrous and a joy to behold
Or a cause of great problems even leading to death
When it’s light and without wind most will enjoy this
But when it’s heavy and raging we’ll try to avoid it

During a light falling snow we’ll seek pleasure within it
The tranquility of a walk then is good for the soul
With the light falling flakes covering all things
It’s like exploring a peaceful and magical kingdom

The freezing rains that occur can create so much beauty
But it is freezing rain and ice brings its dangers
Whether it’s light or is heavy we don’t like being in it
And it’s too slippery for safe travel whether by car or on foot

When nature is ice covered all things shine like great crystals
And when the sun strikes this wonder the glitter is dazzling
So when a light icing falls you better be quick to enjoy it
Because soon it will melt or be covered by snow

Whether it’s a light dusting of snow or a light freezing rain
The magic and wonders can be glorious and joyful
But watch for the dangers that come with the excesses
Never doubt natures powers to cause death and destroy

If President-Elect Obama decides to redirect the $350Billion that is left from the bank bailout money to rebuild the country’s economy then he can direct it to infrastructure building and rebuilding, and he can save the big three auto companies at the same time.  Infrastructure building and rebuilding should include in-country clean power production projects as well as the transportation and water infrastructures.

The big three auto makers say they want money from the government so they can restructure to continue to manufacture and sell vehicles, so they should only receive it under the government’s terms the same as we must abide by the bank’s terms if we want a loan from them.

As a part of an economy rebuild effort, consider the following type of loan to the big three auto makers: The federal government loans the companies specific amounts of money.  The auto makers would have to spend most of the money to retool to manufacture the next generation vehicles if they want the loan because they must repay the loan with those vehicle types instead of cash.  The federal government uses those vehicles for replacement vehicles for its fleet requirements, and they can also direct some of the vehicles be given to the states for their needs and the states can give some to their cities.  No regular gas powered vehicles, no matter how fuel efficient, can contribute to the loan repayment.  Of course like any loan there would be interest payable as well, by the same method.  Set a time line.

That would mean the auto companies immediately gear up to a high level of mass production of the next generation vehicles which reduces the vehicle unit prices.  A campaign to encourage companies to also buy those vehicles to show the public their commitment to America and that they are environmentally responsibly would assist to speedily move things along, and their being sold on the public market would better ensure the companies are not placing an inflated price on the vehicles they give to the government for their loan repayment.  And it would encourage the auto companies to more quickly get involved in improving methodologies and efficiencies to compete in the new market.

There are mass production electric vehicles already in use, even up here in Canada with our terrible winters, and some which are easily identifiable as electrics are owned by companies that advertise their business on them.  Hydrogen fuel celled vehicles have also already proven themselves to the level that they can begin to be mass produced, and hydrogen is a combustible gas so I don’t see any reason why hydrogen combustible vehicles or hydrogen combustible fuel cell hybrids can’t be constructed for the more powerful horsepower longer distance vehicle needs.

This does not disallow foreign companies from also choosing to participate in the manufacturing of the newer vehicles.  And the big three can continue to build fuel efficient vehicles at some of their plants to sell overseas or in-country to add to their diversity and income.

I switched to Mozilla Firefox in the hope that the problems with the Fox web pages would disappear, but no such luck.

When I click on someone’s portrait or name, or go to my own web page by clicking on “my blog”, the right side of the page is clipped off partially to interfere with reading the person’s bio.  If I go to someone’s blog directly through the Featured page there is no clipping.

This has been the case since the programmers fixed the last problems they created when they fixed something else.

Are the programmers perhaps getting their training from the incompetent bankers and auto executives?

What has happened to honour and people choosing to take pride in a job well done, instead of just demanding more money for their increased laziness and incompetence?

There is an immense power of attraction affecting mankind
And that is the desired union between woman and man
If you encounter a desirable person so your soul can be touched
It’s like finding an extremely important missing part of your self

It’s a wonderful feeling that’s felt deep within you
And it has the power to affect even your physical self
When this powerful force reaches out then to touch you
You’ll gasp as if a hand had just touched and cupped your heart

Sex or any kind of physical feeling pales in comparison
To this attraction that’s proven its power throughout history
Even wars have been fought changing the course of mankind
By those in pursuit of attaining this the most desirable of touches

How can you go around casually dumping on others
Yet expect everyone everywhere should show you respect
I guess these people have never heard the old saying
To do unto others as you’d have them do unto you

Where is the logic in these people’s thoughts
When they’re acting one way but expecting different from others
These people have an ego that’s too big for their britches
They strut around everywhere thinking they’re better then most

Are they not willing to realize that people could be like them
And if everyone was like them then the treatment they’d get
When among man if you promote one kind of behaviour
How can you possibly expect anything else in return

Consider the thief who is always stealing from others
Who’ll be shocked and angry if anyone would steal from him
Or the violent abuser who beats on his wife and his kids
Who would feel unjustly treated if anyone else beat on him

So when you go through life in your dealings with people
Your trust and respect you should freely give out
Because how can you expect others to even believe your words
If you are not offering them your trust and respect

A country is the assemblage of communities and they generate the vast majority of the in-country revenue creation.  It doesn’t come from the few currently large companies that owe their creation and growth to the people of the country’s communities or from the wealthy who feel they owe nothing to the country.

The majority of the jobs in the country that allow the local financial markets to survive are created to accommodate community needs and interests.  The failure of the local businesses causes the failure of a community and the failure of many communities causes city and State failures.  So, if you are promoting the destruction of the communities you are destroying the body of the country.

People who don’t work don’t buy things in their community so small businesses disappear and there is less opportunity for new business creation.   Disappearing small business in communities causes the community to die.  Allowing the communities that make up the country to fail causes the country to lose new wealth creating opportunities to pay the massive increased debt owed by those very same people so the country will eventually fail, and the people will lose many of their freedoms as they become slaves to having to beg for work at the few big businesses that are left and that are controlled by the worlds’ wealthy who care nothing for people.

They have taken the people’s money to prop up the biggest banks, but in-country banks will not be able to start up or to survive if the money they rely on is not being generated in-country by the many small business owners of the country but is only moving around those big banks so US interests can be bought up by foreigners.  The money has gushed out of the US for decades because the politicians don’t want to direct the country and have instead allowed the greed of free markets to choose the direction the country takes, and now it is being used to purchase America’s property, businesses, and resources.

And, simply propping up the in-country auto industry’s big three manufacturers to now start to compete with foreign country automakers current vehicle lineups makes no sense.  Why would it make sense to give them money to play catch-up with the foreign companies?  If they are given any money it should be part of a country wide rebuild plan and they should have to build the next generation vehicles so they won’t constantly be in danger of failing but instead have an opportunity to be leaders in the world.

Come into the light precious don’t let them hurt you
Their actions are past get rid of the pain
Don’t give them that power for their evil to last
You are more valuable than a million of them

They dragged you into darkness and caused you great pain
And the memory lingers to have a hold over you
It’s a hard thing to conquer I understand
But please don’t let the pain forever hold you

How precious you are for not becoming like them
I’ve gone through this pain and you can never forget it
It’s like having glass shards filling you chest cavity and stomach
And sometimes like you’re being squeezed and can’t breathe

Their evil is past they are no longer around
But the stench of their deeds still lingers around you
You have beaten their evil by refusing to change
Now flush their vile residue that’s clinging to you

They vomited their ways out and caused you to suffer
And this evil has left its residual affects
But they are no longer here and you must fight
Don’t let them win you are so much better than them

There’s love in the light precious and a welcome for you
Don’t let the darkness and pain keep holding you back
There’s a warm comforting love just waiting to soothe
So please precious don’t let your hurt rule you
Come into the light

Around the world the racist separation of people is cheered.  The biggest story on the planet is the election of a US president who is black.

There are a lot of people swooning and cheering simply because the first black man has been elected to the Office of President.  I say, “so what”?  If you are not a racist than what is the big deal?  Never mind using the excuse to promote racism that black racists use, of the black having been slaves in the past in the US, because all races have been enslaved at one time somewhere in the world throughout history.  There is never a good reason to continue to promote the racist separation of people.  The US and the people are in big trouble, and large numbers of those very same people are dancing in the streets yelling “oo, oo, a black man won” as if that fact will make any difference to their lives.

If the biggest thing you can think to cheer about is that the man who won the presidency is black then you just don’t get it, and you are continuing the promotion of separating people based on race which is racism.

About souls of man suffering for all eternity versus them being destroyed:

Matthew 25, verse 41:  “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”

Revelation 20, verses 14 & 15:  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.  The lake of fire is the second death.  If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Matthew 10, verse 28:  “Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul.  Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”

The eternal lake of fire was prepared for the eternal devil and his eternal angels.  Anyone not found written in the book of life is thrown into the lake of fire to be destroyed, which is the second death.  Those vile accursed people who choose to be against God are doomed to have their souls destroyed in the eternal lake of fire, or the hell where the devil and his angels will suffer for all eternity.  According to Revelation the devil and his angels are thrown into hell before the cursed souls of men, so read into that what you may if you are concerned about their receiving punishment before their final destruction.

About choice:

God gave both angels and man free choice.  He wishes that none will perish but knows otherwise, as the choice is given to us.  Yes all things are possible with God, and He chose the rules.  God only wants those who freely choose to be with Him to be with Him.  All others are removed from His presence as per their free choice, the eternal angels to the torment of hell for all eternity and the souls of man to their eventual destruction all by being thrown into that hell.

Grandad1:  “I do not believe the choice is up to us to accept Christ, but that "work" is that of the Father.”  John 6 v 44:  "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Even the devil can deceive using only a select few words of the Bible, so be careful to keep everything in context so as to not practice deceptive teaching that causes people to go astray from God.  Continuing along the same passage: “It is written in the prophets: They will all be taught by God.  Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.”  Once again, everyone is given the choice to be with or against God.  God does not force anyone to be with Him so only draws those who choose to be with Him to Him.  Only those desiring to be with God can come to be with Jesus.  Those of us drawn to be with God Jesus will lift up to be God’s Children.

Grandad1:  “I believe in Election as the Bible teaches.”  Romans 8 verses 28-30:  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to His purpose.  For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brothers.  And those He predestined He also called; those He called He also justified; those He justified He also glorified.”

God knew us all before we were created.  God predestined man to conform to the likeness of Jesus so we may also become Sons of God.  Man, who God predestined to become Sons of God will all be taught by God and those desiring God will be drawn to Him.  He justified our being glorified to become His Children by the sacrifice of Jesus to atone for our sins.

Sex is sex
It’s not making love
Love can’t be made
It is or it isn’t

You can love sex
But sex is not love
Don’t be confused
They’re not the same

Sex doesn’t make love
Nor does it prove it
There’s love without sex
And sex with no love

We do not live in a democracy.  Catering to individual greed and selfishness, even to the determent of the entire country is what our so-called democracies are all about.  In our so-called democracies everyone claims their own individual freedom rights even to the point of demanding the law throw away the religious moral rights and beliefs of the majority to cater to them and it is done.  The majority does not rule the world’s so-called democracies.  The reality is that the majority have their so-called rights trampled under to cater to minority interests.

Where is the pretence of the majority rules when the courts are allowed to twist the meaning of laws to promote their own personal ideals of catering to individual greed and selfishness even to the determent of the entire country?  The election process itself proves that democracies promote individual selfishness and not the majority rule because, to get elected, the politicians have to cater to loud mouthed selfish groups that can give him/her their grouped votes in tightly contested ridings or give them to his/her opponent.  So the politicians cater to the wealthy for their election campaign funds and retirement opportunities and to those minority groups for their immediate selfish interest of getting elected and re-elected.  Consider the recent action in the US where the majority of the people worked feverishly to tell the politicians that they did not want them to pass the $700 Billion Bailout package yet the politicians ignored them and did as they pleased.  Was that democracy at work?  I wonder if they’ll have another tea party.

There are an awful lot of people complaining about the state of the economy, yet those same people don’t seem to realize that the basic democratic freedom economy that allows everyone to seek their own path to happiness and profit, without responsibility or concern for others, is what caused all the economic problems.  The many companies that shuffled so many jobs out of America were just following the opportunities the governments gave them, and only seeking their individual rights to cater to their own selfish interests with no concern for the resulting affects on others which is what our democracies promote.  The same as the banks and financial companies that also put their quick profit above the concerns of the country to sell and trade those mortgages that were designed with the full knowledge that most of them would fail were also only following their democratic right to seek their enjoyment and self interests even if at the expense of the entire country.

There is no real democracy on Earth.  The wealthy and vilest rule the politicians not the majority of the people.  Democracy is only a pretended concept to keep the masses in line under the false belief that they have control over those who rule them.  The people in our so-called democratic countries are just getting a small sample of what they will eventually reap through pursuing the greedy selfish course with no responsibility or concern for the combined consequences of the practice.

Anyone wonder who may be buying the massive amounts of American stocks at depressed prices?  Every sale requires a buyer.

Power Empires have the ears of politicians and know how to manipulate people.  They understand greed well.  They can encourage the politicians to loosen the controls over the financial systems of a country, and to change the trading rules to promote massive unemployment during the same time.

If trade rules get changed so products can be imported freely into America from countries with substantially lower labour and other costs then greed ensures the mass movement of companies shifting their operations to those countries for bigger profits, which means large numbers of American workers get dumped into unemployment and underemployment.  Imports increase as exports decline with in-country wealth creation reducing while shipping even more wealth out of the country than is being done so foolishly to purchase the oil the US is addicted to for its need to operate the country.  America’s hemorrhaging of money increases as it continues to build up the wealth and strength of countries that harbor hostilities toward the US.

Counting on unemployment soaring and having the unsupervised financial market situation they can introduce a mortgage loan scam that guarantees most of the loans will fail but pretends that a profit to the writers can be achieved even with an 80% failure rate to encourage the greedy to sell large numbers of those loans to as many people as they can.  The loan writers don’t take into consideration the coming increasing unemployment and underemployment so just expect continuing economic growth will make up for those failing mortgages as other people come forward to continue property purchases while they get ever wealthier selling the greedy loans.  When those many loan failures begin on a large enough scale they of course bring down housing values across the country and force greedy banks and financial institutions into bankruptcy which puts additional pressures on the employment, financial, and stock markets.  The government can be expected to intervene with a large infusion of cash to protect the banking system, as they have previously given proof that they will do so, which adds to the massive US debt held by foreign interests.

The above is an example of only a two factor plan that could be used to prepare the conditions that will make it easier to manipulate the stock markets downward.

Many companies lose business and forecast future losses, or reduced future sales, due to the effects from the housing and employment slumps which gets more stocks reducing in value and makes more people reduce their purchases to complete the circle.  Then dumping large amounts of stock from different companies into the market forces the values down more which causes some owners to become afraid and sell their stocks for an even lesser value, and which causes a greater reduction of spending by the people to cause lower company sales expectations to help stocks continue their downward slide.  You continue selling enough of your large stockpile of stocks to continue promoting fear to drive the markets downward, while sometimes buying more at even lower prices to maintain your stockpile.  Owners of large amounts of stock in many companies would be able to influence the markets downward to eventually purchase majority stakes in targeted companies at depressed prices, or to bring the company to bankruptcy or bankruptcy worry so they can then make the purchase or leverage a merger with a company they already have control over.  Or, if you have large amounts of stock in the two merging companies you could gain control with the stock merger occurrence.  Of course, if two or more Empires are secretly working together to acquire America’s assets on the sly then it will be less noticeable of where the company control is except during the times when they actively work together to promote their wishes.

Considering that no one was watching or even cared what the banks and financial institutions were doing, does anyone think that the government is monitoring or even showing more then just a token pretense of concern about where the stocks and controlling interests in American companies are moving to?

What could be the next step, and when?  Democratic governments are in deep debt and investing heavily in propping up their banking systems which leaves them little maneuvering room to stem off any more financial threats.  They are looking inward to protect themselves.  The world is positioned to stampede the flight from the US dollar.  If a large enough mass of US dollars gets dumped into the market, using a similar principle to that described above, it can drive down the dollar’s value real fast.  If when dumping the US money it is traded for Euros it will further promote the direction the money markets take, and the Empire would also keep increasing its purchasing power for buying more American company’s stock as the world seeks safety in the rising demand for the Euro while dumping their US dollars.  Many countries are too constrained in their ability to help prop up the US by buying their dollar and will gravitate to the European and newly created Asian markets for their future.  And the Empires that democracies borrow from can refuse to lend them any more money to purchase American dollars, or even call in their loans and cash out the country’s treasury and bond holdings they own to prevent countries from having the funds to help prop up the US dollar.  The dollar the US would be using to buy the foreign oil and make their foreign debt payments would be worth less and less.  The Euro will rise and more and more people will flock to it as the US dollar continues its slide.  Empires would gain more control over the employment and the work of the US citizens.

Empires are lending America massive amounts of money through different methods, outright buying American companies and properties, and gaining controlling interest in American companies using the stock markets as well.  Family Empires and Country Empires that are hostile to America’s interests are increasing their power over the US.  A couple, or several, Empires can forge a clique to affect their wishes more easily while drawing less attention to what is actually occurring until it is too late for the US to protect itself, if it had the competent leadership to do so.

The country will be massively indebted to foreigners, and they will own the businesses the people need work from.  The slaves will be required to work for their masters even longer than just paying off the amount owed because they will be in need of work from their master’s to meet even their lowered basic living requirements.  They will fight with each other instead of against their oppressor’s control, making it easier for their oppressor’s to maintain control over them to continue to suck their lifeblood and work from them.

All man’s governing systems are designed to cater to a select few at the very top.  The systems are designed to cater to the super wealthy who demand the right to drain the lifeblood of the majority peons, and to even destroy the whole country when they so desire, to cater to their vile greed.

Democratic governments are not designed to concern themselves with the majority of the people either, regardless of the fictional claim of being a government of the majority and for the majority.  The democratic system is designed to promote the corrupt and selfish getting into power.  Politicians use lies and deceit to become elected, or to get re-elected, and no politician who refuses to become corrupt will get enough votes to get elected.  You must be willing to lie and to cater to every loud mouthed selfish group that can provide you with votes or give them to your competitor.  Selfishness is the election business in democracies, not the common good.

Anyone notice the final straw that broke the camel's back in 1929 after the theft of the country’s created wealth by the few?  Massive unemployment meant the loss of the ability of people to pay their debts and businesses to be able to sell their products, which of course caused more unemployment and less sales, etc. etc.  First the super wealthy take the majority of the country’s wealth then they beat down enough of the peons to temporary collapse the economy so they can make additional demands that the peons give even more out of their lives while receiving even less of the generated wealth.  The super wealthy have always been vampiric to the peons.
