Jack Stack Suicide Note
“An Austin, Texas, resident with an apparent grudge against the Internal Revenue Service set his house on fire Thursday and then crashed a small plane into a building housing an IRS office with nearly 200 employees, officials said.” -CNN
Jack Stack’s actions were horrible and cowardly. However, I do believe his frustration with Government and Big Business is real and this anger is shared by many Americans. Tax payer bailouts, Tax payer funded bonuses for businesses too big to fail, massive unemployment, a young President who took his eye off job creation in favor of Health care reform… these factors will make 2009/20010 a watershed moment in Political history.
Republican Scott Brown Win in Massachusetts was just a preview of what is to come in 2010. I’ve said it time and time again, if the Dems don’t start listening to the frustration of the American people and act decisively, they will face a similar fate to that of the 1994 Democrats. Could all this be a set up for a shoe-in Palin Presidency in 2012?
This is the Suicide note from Jack Stack posted on his website.
Republican Scott Brown Wins Mass U.S. Senate Seat
This is stunning news.
Republican Scott Brown wins Mass U.S. Senate seat held by the late Edward M. Kennedy.
I’ve warned Democrats for months that there would be a high price to pay for their handling of the health care legislation. Today Obama and his fellow Democrats were served with a wake up call of epic proportions. I have compared the coming GOP gains in 2010 to the 1994 revolution led my Newt Gingrich.
Things are getting very interesting.

Global Gold Demand Up U.S. Dollar Down
China the world’s largest gold producer is set to break records for both production and consumption of gold. China over took South Africa, in 2007, to become the World’s largest producer of gold.
“Gold demand may be more than 450 metric tons compared with 395.6 tons in 2008, and output may climb to 310 tons, compared with 282 tons a year earlier, Zhang Yongtao, deputy secretary- general of the association, said at a conference in Kunming yesterday.”

Gold is now flirting with a $1,200 an ounce (11-26-09). The continued weak U.S. Dollar could push a $1,500 an ounce sooner than later.
“The inflation concern this year has boosted the Chinese consumer demand for things like property, autos and gold…” This demand for hard goods vs. U.S. Dollar will most likely push China past India as the number one consumer of gold.

Recession Will Be ‘Full-Blown Depression’: Strategist
“This global recession will turn into a “full-blown depression,” Nicu Harajchi, CEO of N1 Asset Management, said Friday, adding that global stimulus hasn’t come down to Main Street.”
“When it comes down to corporate America, corporate Europe or even in Asia, in Japan, we are not seeing Main Street making any money,” he said. “Consumers are losing their jobs. They are struggling with their mortgages, with their credit. And we are just seeing this continuing.”
The $5 trillion injection is “monetary expansion,” according to Harajchi. “At some point, which we believe to be 2010/11, some of the central banks are going to recall some of that money and that will turn from monetary expansion to monetary contraction.”
He also said he doesn’t see the corporates or the public “being able to pay back that debt.”

Bernanke Gets the Nod – What Happened to Debating Issues?
Yesterday I tweeted my disappointment with President Obama’s re-nomination of Ben Bernake as chairman of the fed. I am not sure why we are praising a man who did not see this entire meltdown coming and if he did see it, he did nothing until it was too late. Maybe Peter Schiff is right, it’s better to stick with devil you know versus the devil you don’t. Only time will tell.
Anyway, after tweeting about this issues, I lost over 250 followers. Honestly, I could care less about the followers. What bothered me is the lack of discourse about America’s future. Whether we are discussing health care, the economy, or education, we’ve stopped talking to each other in a civil way. This is not a liberal or conservative issue and it should not be framed as a Democrat or Republican debate. This is about the future of America. If you live in this country you have skin in the game. It’s time to stop the “divide and conquer” politics that rips at the core of a intelligent national debate. It’s time to realize we have more in common than not.
For all those who left yesterday, I have news for you, President Obama will make mistakes in his Presidency, just like every other President before him. This does not make him a bad person or a bad leader. It makes him human. It is our duty as citizens of this country to speak out when we disagree with our elected leaders. This freedom is what makes our country so great and powerful.
