POPSObama Skips Anniversary of Fall of Berlin Wall, Sends a Video.....About Himself Did He Not Show Up Because It Wasn’t All About Him? Left-wing German paper Der Spiegel seems to have gotten that impression: Der Spiegel summed up as “People of the World, Look at Me”. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,567932,00.html Even worse- Obama spoke about himself to the crowd: “Few would have seen on that day that… that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent.” And, of course, he did not mention Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher in his speech.

POPSThe EU's New Stealth Tax "But in return Britain would be expected to give up its £4.1billion a year rebate, first agreed by Mrs Thatcher in 1984. Other options being considered include taxes on communications and banks and a carbon tax which would push up the cost of fuel, flights and heating."

POPSBritain's Lord Monckton Warns About Dangers of Climate Change Treaty - Video 10/30/09
Bolton thinks the treaty is dangerous, but is not prepared to go as far as Monckton yet. But he said it does have the potential to do great damage. Even if Obama signs it, it would require a two-thirds vote of the U.S. Senate to ratify the treaty and make us bound to the terms. Fascinating discussion. The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam By John Coleman January 28, 2009 (Revised and edited February 11, 2009) Back in the 1960s, this global warming research came to the attention of a Canadian born United Nation's bureaucrat named Maurice Strong. He was looking for issues he could use to fulfill his dream of one-world government. Strong organized a World Earth Day event in Stockholm, Sweden in 1970. From this he developed a committee of scientists, environmentalists and political operatives from the UN to continue a series of meetings. Strong developed the concept that the UN could demand payments from the advanced nations for the climatic

POPSWall Street Bonuses Vs. Normal Wages: A Disturbing Trend (CHART, VIDEO) A Goldman Sachs International adviser defended compensation in the finance industry as his company plans a near-record year for pay, saying the spending will help boost the economy. "We have to tolerate the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity and opportunity for all," Brian Griffiths, who was a special adviser to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, said yesterday at a panel discussion hosted by St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

POPSfar right leader Geert Wilders stuffs UK and enters legally, Sieg Heil! Geert is determined to prove he is not a racist or Islamaphobic and that he just hates the thought of Islam and Muslims taking over the "Master Races"! He only wants Holland to be Dutch, Germany to be German, France to be French, etc, and the UK not to be an American Colony! (too late, oops!) Anyway Geert and his SS are busy preparing for the invasion of the Isle of Man claiming the Dutch discovered it long before the Manx Cat and want's it back! The Isle of Man will then become a Muslim no-go zone (yes!!!!), a true celtic state, fly the flag of Oranje (pissing the catholics off in Northern Ireland!) and Margaret Thatcher will become the new Prime Minister holding hands with Mijnheer Geert Wilders over a "lekker kopje hollandse koffie en weed cake" (translation = nice cup of Dutch coffee and a piece of real Dutch "weed" cake!)! "Tot Ziens and see you in the UK" Geert smiled!

POPSRules to Singin' the Blues If it occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is a blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse, or being denied treatment in an emergency room. Some Blues names for Women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Bertha e. Josephine f, Lucille, g. Stella. A Blues way to communicate is to dial up the telephone or to "holla." People with the Blues eat barbecue, grits, corn bread, beans, and their (they) last meal.

POPSThe Road to Economic Demoralization -- Going the Wrong Way
Heavy government controls at home, along with an income-leveling social policy couched in economic-recovery terms, is no way to run a railroad. At the simple stroke of a computer key, world investment flows to its most hospitable destination. That includes a reliable currency. But in President Bush's last year and President Obama's first, the United States has become a less hospitable destination for global capital. That should worry everybody. But let's first look to the China story. We know that China is already our principal banker, to the tune of nearly $1 trillion. As President Obama's record spending and borrowing continues -- he'll be the greatest bond salesman in American history -- our financial reliance on China grows daily. But that's not all. Fortune magazine recently reported that the number of U.S. companies in the world's top 500 fell to the lowest level ever, while more Chinese firms than ever made the list. Thirty-seven Chinese companies now rank in the top 50

POPSThe Little President From article: "Nicolas Sarkozy upheld our real values. He called the pictures of women and teenagers being beaten by Basij thugs on motorcycles "brutal" and "totally disproportionate." "The ruling power claims to have won the elections ... if that were true, we must ask why they find it necessary to imprison their opponents and repress them with such violence." "Chances are that behind the scenes the mullahs are promising Obama a glorious peace agreement that will allow him to parade his gargantuan ego around the world one more time. They are Persian rug sellers over there, who know all about hard bargaining. They've got his number: He's a pushover. Obama will trade personal glory against the freedom of Iran's people any day of the week."

POPSRudd on Global Financial Crisis: Blame Reagan, Thatcher, Bush, Howard 
"All other economic functions should be left to what Reagan called "the magic of the market". Hayek himself referred to the market as "a game" - specifically the game of "catallaxy", taken from the Greek word "to barter", which according to Hayek is "a contest played according to the rules and decided by superior skill, strength or good fortune". In Hayek's order, "the game" is the only proper determinant of the allocation of resources, in contrast to any "atavistic" concept of social justice alive in the social-democratic project. "The advocates of neo-liberalism have sought, wherever possible, to dismantle all aspects of the social-democratic state. The idea of social solidarity, reflected in the collective provision of social goods, is dismissed as statist nonsense. In the face of vigorous resistance to cuts in public services, the neo-liberal political project has followed a strategy of "starving the beast", cutting taxes in order to strangle the capacity of the government to in

POPSWilliam Graham Sumner's Forgotten Classic and that it may be impaired for major considerations." Too often today's leaders are quick to surrender liberties for mere trifles, and the population at large allows it to happen. It may seem odd that a man writing at the tail end of the 19th century should have anything to teach us as we sit here in the opening years of the 21st century. However, timeless insights like Sumner's never grow obsolete. Today our government continues to play judge and jury with the fruits of other men's labors and many people think nothing of it. The Forgotten Men are still forgotten. Capital is still underappreciated or else confused with things that are not capital, such as Greenspan's waterfalls of credit. William Graham Sumner's ideas remain relevant today — painfully so. "The problem with Socialism is the eventually you run out of other peoples money." --Margaret Thatcher "History is only a tiresome repetition of one story." –William Graham Sumner

POPSIran ambassador had Thatcher hair worry as revolution began Months after receiving assurances from Sir Anthony that the Shah would not be overthrown, the British Government looked on aghast as revolution swept through Iran in early 1979, deposing the Shah and leaving hundreds of millions of pounds of British investment at risk. Millions of Iranians will take to the streets today to celebrate the 30th anniversary of those tumultuous events.
