Over Memorial day weekend Libertarians came together from across the country and around the world to nominate their president and vice presidential candidates at their annual national party convention. And for many the top of the ticket for the fall and the general election season is troubling, deeply troubling.
But lets look at it from this perspective for just a minute, shall we? My prediction is that the Johnson-Weld ticket will be Libertarian-lite in that they’ll run under the Libertarian party banner but will, instead, draw from the well of the Never Trump Never Hillary movements in a kind of “A Coalition of the Willing.” Or as Bill Clinton and Dick Morris did so infamously in the 1990’s, “Triangulation.”
In either case I like Bill Weld and have enormous respect for Gary Johnson, ever since 2011 when he first ran for the presidency. Then as now Johnson stands for some of the same things that I do, but with Charles and David Koch, through Bill Weld, pulling on Johnson like he’s a puppet and they’re the masters even I can’t stomach that!
I hate Charles and David Koch with every fiber of my being for what they have done to this great country of ours and this beautiful world in which we all live. They are evil incarnate, in my opinion, and hell itself would be a far worse place with them in it.
I call LINO – Libertarian in Name Only! And for those disgruntled and disaffected Libertarians I offer this as your Battle Cry:
Hold fast, and as Jesse Ventura says, “Stay Vigilant…”

Japan’s Finance Minister Accidentally Reveals How It All Ends: “War” by Tyler Durden, http://www.zerohedge.com While this all started with a currency “war,” it seems –according to a stunningly candid transcript of Japan’s finance minister’s conversation with none other than Paul Krugman – that the real endgame here is actual war. Aso remarked that “a […]
I just finished reading an article from WorldTruth.TV today about a potential buyout, by the Nation of China, of land and assets to pay off the debit that the United States owes China for the buying and holding of its own indebtedness, and I was fascinated by its read, and the plans that one Chinese Nationalist purposes.
Meet Yu Qiao, a professor of economics in the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsighua University in Beijing, who presented a plan in 2009 for the buying of land, and assets in order to off set indebtedness. Such is not beyond the realm of possibility because when you consider what the Obama Administration is purposing through the Trans-Pacific Partnership of all things nothing should be left to chance.
Yu Qiao’s plan included four components:
China would negotiate with the U.S. government to create a “crisis relief facility,” or CRF. The CRF “would be used alongside U.S. federal efforts to stabilize the banking system and to invest in capital-intensive infrastructure projects such as high-speed railroad from Boston to Washington, D.C.
China would pool a portion of its holdings of Treasury bonds under the CFR umbrella to convert sovereign debt into equity. Any CFR funds that were designated for investment in U.S. corporations would still be owned and managed by U.S. equity holders, with the Asians holding minority equity shares “that would, like preferred stock, be convertible.”
The U.S. government would act as a guarantor, “providing a sovereign guarantee scheme to assure the investment principal of the CRF against possible default of targeted companies or projects”.
The Federal Reserve would set up a special account to supply the liquidity the CRF would require to swap sovereign debt into industrial investment in the United States.
Because the Government of China wants its money, even though it was intimated through the WorldTruth.TV article, “But Asians do not want to bear the risk of this investment because of market turbulence and a lack of knowledge of cultural, legal and regulatory issues in U.S. businesses. However if a guarantee scheme were created, Asian savers could be willing to invest directly in capital-hungry U.S. industries.” As Professor Yu Qiao stated. This is anything, but true, because the People of China could care less, it’s the Chinese Government that cares more. Especially about U.S. indebtedness.
But lets say that Professor Yu Qiao is right. Why then haven’t the People of China marched on the Parliament in Beijing and demanded repayment?
I mean they did it during the Tiananmen Square, right?
So why not now? Or does the Red Chinese Government not appreciate decent? Am I missing something? Anyone? Anyone?
“I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of China, and to its Republic for which it stands, one Nation under Chairman Mao indivisible with No Liberty, and No Justice from now on…”

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, SHARE! PLEASE? THANK YOU. COME AGAIN.
It’s been some years since I last wrote to you both directly, thank you for the opportunity to do so. I don’t often complain or have too much to disagree with you both on but I am in disagreement with you both over something, and it’s something very serious. It involves the ministry, in fact the ministry for Christ that two men, that two giants amongst men set you both up in. I am speaking of course of Pastor William Franklin, “Billy” Graham, Jr. and the late Pastor Jerry Falwell.
Gentlemen, as I see it, you are destroying what these men built. Brick by brick, stone by stone, foundation by foundation. It would be one thing if you were building on, adding on rather, what these two men had built for the Kingdom of God. But and alas what you are doing, what you are both up to these days makes the House that Jerry & Billy built look like a shack!
As you read this open letter you may be asking, to yourself, “Why whatever do you mean Rhett, and how can you say these kinds of things?” I’m glad you thought of that. My answer is at least 3 fold, although I could go more, but 3, for now, will do.
1. Africa. Since I was a child I can never ever remember a time when both the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Samaritan’s Purse, and Operation Blessing has not been ‘proselytizing’ Africa.
But, and respectfully gentlemen, we know that you are both doing anything but changing hearts and minds and winning souls for Christ in Africa. Case in point, “God loves Uganda”.
One has to wonder gentlemen, respectfully, what is your angle? What is your hidden agenda, why do you insist on destroying the good names, reputation and standing of Billy Graham, and Jerry Falwell?
In his book Dr. Horowitz lays bare the insidious plan of the Illuminati, Project 21, the Rothschild family, the Rockefeller family Elite plan to lay waste to better than half the world’s population through virus and germ warfare.
He details, well, how erstwhile organizations such as yours gentlemen are used, misused rather, through the advent of vaccination, sterilization and the like to do the Elite’s bidding.
In many cases unknowingly.
In so far as I know neither the late great Jerry Falwell much less the still alive and well Billy Graham would have allowed or permitted, knowingly or unknowingly, such a thing to have gone on. In fact, and I believe this with all my heart gentlemen, they would have stopped it butt cold in its tracks. Such would have never ever seen the light of day under their watchful eyes. Never.
3. Billy Graham. Billy Graham would have stood in the gap, were he aware of what you are doing Franklin, in his good name, against this! He would have laid bare the sufferings, slings and the arrows of an African people.
Once more the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association would have never ever been used much less mislead to inoculating a society of people, a Continent of People far healthier than you or I could ever hope to IMAGINE.
Because it was not until the white man invaded the Continent of Africa that Africans had health issues.
It was not until the white missionaries brought the Bible and Gun to the African People that the African People had issues, and it was not until Billy Graham himself stood in the gap with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X and said, “Stay out of Africa!” And, “I’m sorry we ever troubled you dear people. Truly sorry.” That the citizens of this earth began to know the TRUTH.
I am deeply, deeply troubled ,gentlemen, to know, understand, and comprehend that you would and will destroy the Life’s Work of such men. Such great men of God. God’s Servants. Man’s Servants. WHY? HOW?!
I stand against all those who would destroy and devalue as well as debase human kind by any means necessary.
I will not allow or permit you men, especially men who call themselves, “men of God” as you do to destroy the work. Destroy the life’s legacy of TRUE MEN OF GOD as MLK, Malcolm X., Billy Graham, and Jerry Falwell. I will not.
I come against you both now in the name of Jesus Christ and I rebuke you both publicly for your allowance, permission and use of the Men and Women of God to transfer man-made disease, viruses, vaccinations and the like to the Peoples of Africa. Stop it!
Stop this foolishness now! You are killing humanity. Killing God’s seed. Destroying God’s House. Man came from Africa. Africa is the center of this world. From out of Africa sprang the VERY FIRST civilizations of this earth gentlemen, and you are killing her, at her very womb. At her very core and center. WHY?
Such is no accident gentlemen. It is purposeful. Constructed. Manufactured. And intended. Stop raping Mother Africa! Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rhett E. Column

The world’s biggest hamburger chain said Friday the decline included a 3.2 percent drop in the U.S. and a 7.3 percent drop in the unit encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
The results reflect what is likely to be just the beginnings of the fallout from a Chinese food scandal late last month. A TV report at the time showed workers at a McDonald’s supplier, OSI Group, repacking expired meat. McDonald’s stopped using supplies from the plant in Shanghai, which left many of its restaurants unable to serve much of its menu, including Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets.
The company has since been working with other OSI plants to restore supplies to the affected restaurants. Still, sales are likely to continue suffering given the sensitivities around food safety in China. Yum Brands, which owns KFC and Pizza Hut, says it did not rely as heavily OSI and quickly cut all ties with the company. But it has nevertheless seen sales battered as well.
NEW YORK, New York — Big Trouble in Little China is coming down the pipe as McDonald’s, the World’s Largest Fast Food Chain, tries to recover from a MAJOR food SCANDAL.
It would appear that in Shanghai, China McDonald’s workers were caught on tape repacking bad meat for the burger chain.
As if that wasn’t enough according to reports from Saint Louis Post-Dispatch U.S. sales have dramatically declined for Mickey D’s.
According McDonald’s Corporation CEO Don Thompson, “… company’s lower-income customers are struggling more financially, making them reluctant to eat out. … the company is working on getting the basics right — such as improving service. …”
Editorial:
On a much more serious note this blogger reveals really in McDonald’s Corporation’s misfortune, and here’s why. Not since the days of Mr. Raymond Kroc has this company, this MAJOR FAST FOOD CHAIN, been, TRULY, about the business of its employees and more importantly its customers. Bottom line.
Ray Kroc would have never ever allowed or permitted this mess, this decline to have gone on! He would have nipped it in the bud PDQ (Pronto Double Quick). Period. Full stop.
Don Thompson can put in all the quick fixes that he likes, do all the PR and Damage Control that he likes but once the snowball starts rolling down the hill it is damn hard to stop, especially when it picks up steam and size. He wants to get back to basics, back to the beginning of things, THEN he need only look no further than Mr. Ray’s age-old motto, Q.S.C. (Quality. Service. Cleanliness.) “You give people a quality product with fast, friendly service in a clean comfortable environment they will come back every time and eat your food…” –So said Mr. Raymond A. Kroc
Peace.

SAN FRANCISCO, California — Political prisoner Gao Geng MAY OR MAY NOT be coming to America and in fact San Francisco any time soon according to reports from CBS News Channel 5 San Francisco.
Gao is a Chinese dissident who was arrested by authorities and sentenced to 3 years in prison. Reportedly he has served his time and then some but secret police keep him detained and or release him on the streets only to grab him up again hours, days or weeks later.
On behalf of his wife Geng He the U.S. State Department has been approached to intervene and get Gao here under political asylum. No real word or action has been given by the State Department in this respect and regard. #SadButTrue
TODAY, Monday, 19-May-2014 in Washington, D.C. U.S.A., there was a fire drill. BUT and not just any ordinary fire drill, no indeed, this was a Chinese Fire Drill. Our President, Barack H. Obama, the II, and the Honorable, had a moment with Xi Jing Ping, China’s Premiere, Eric Holder and the Justice Department. The winner is yet to be determined.
The REASON: As long as China promises to hand over the perpetrators to the United States for Justice then we won’t say anything more about that hacking job you did on American Industry.
The above and titled is what Mr. Holder lamented today before a near packed audience at the Justice Department TODAY.
Such would be fine by me if two things yeah three were not abundantly clearly wrong with this and other known sentiments, musings and other wises by both the United States and China. Simply put and simply stated they amount to, wait for it, wait for it, Atrocities.
Atrocities?
LIST:
Spying
Espionage
Detainment

Shall I go on? I think, hope and frankly pray that you get the picture here. But and to top it all off. The coup de grass. The icing on the cake. The cherry on the Sundae IS: Barack Obama, the President of the United States of America, gave Xi & Co. a pass. A pinky swear IF, and Uncle Xi took it. I wonder if Xi will return the favor? Chinese, I mean, Transpacific Partnership anyone? Anyone?
