POPSCelente – People Should Brace For ‘Greatest Depression’ 2012 Forecast – Food Riots, Ghost Malls, Mob
“Here we are in 2012. Food riots, tax protests, farmer rebellions, student revolts, squatter diggins, homeless uprisings, tent cities, ghost malls, general strikes, bossnappings, kidnappings, industrial saboteurs, gang warfare, mob rule, terror,” he writes for a quarterly publication that is available through subscription on his website. He also talked about his forecasts with Greg Corombos of Radio America/WND in an interview that has been posted online. The recent surge in Wall Street indexes back to near the 10,000 level, still far below the 14,000 prior to the crash, should be no reassurance for anyone, he said. “There’s no recovery. This is merely a cover-up,” he said. “The market crashed in March of 2009 and around the world they papered over the damage from the collapse with phantom money printed out of thin air backed by nothing,” he said. This is “much bigger” than an economic collapse, he said. “This is the decline of empire America.”

POPSDem sum nice shoooes I LOVE this picture. Immediately struck me as a really powerful statement about the status of women in Islam, but apparently its intended message is about him (the artist) being a transvestite. Oh well, it's still cool ;)

POPSAnatomy of a Soccer [Football] Player Of course, nobody is saying that football hooliganism is cool, what really gets our goat is that while TV networks will report on instances of hooliganism, they never have the nuance to tell us who won. For those of us who like to watch football riots, the only way of judging is by measuring which side conceded the most arrests. The higher the arrest count, the more honorable the victory.

POPSG-20 opponents, police clash on Pittsburgh streets What's scary is this is just a few hundred people protesting. If the economy doesn't start rebooting and people getting employment, can you imagine what the riots and such will look like both nationally and internationally.

POPSThe naif-in-chief If I were in the military, I would loathe to serve under this American-bashing country-destroying so-called "leader" of the free world.

POPSUnearthed! Obama's ACORN roots In Chicago, Obama had his biggest impact registering voters on the city's South Side. However, Obama's "Fight the Smears" website disputes this, saying Obama "never organized with ACORN." After completing his legal education at Harvard in 1991, Obama returned to Chicago to work on the voting project that developed directly out of a radical revolutionary strategy developed by two Columbia University sociologists in the 1960s. In what became known as the Cloward-Piven strategy, the tactic advocated a revolutionary approach to mobilizing the poor in the form of class warfare against capitalist forces viewed as exploiting labor and oppressing the poor. The Cloward-Piven strategy sought to apply the tactics of the revolutionary civil rights movement, including urban riots, to the poor as a whole, transcending interest-group politics defined by race to involve interest-group politics defined by class.

POPSFood Is Power and the Powerful Are Poisoning Us
I don’t think anyone disagrees that a single corporation can be more efficient than several smaller companies. However, when it comes to food production, bigger is not better. I am not a big fan of mega-corporations, I think they lose touch with consumers and this leads to them doing whatever they think is most financially beneficial to themselves without regard to their customers desires. It’s the old ‘too big to fail’ mentality. This loss of connection, along with us losing (giving up) our knowledge of how to grow our own food, is contributing to our poor diets and as a result our poor health. ‘Big Food’ produces more convenience foods, typically cheap and fatty, because it is cheaper for them to produce and because we buy it. In order for us to loosen the grip that ‘Big Food’ has on us and to regain our sense of self-sustainability, we are going to need a major shift in our commitment to our health and re-learning how to grow our own food is how this is going to happen.

POPSU.S. Military Wants to Double Troops in Afghanistan
In this era of Lifetime War Everywhere, U.S. military leaders here and on political talk shows now say they need more troops. What a surprise. This way, when they fail, they can blame it on Obama. It's like the recent prison riots in the U.S. The prison authorities say the problem is they need more money, weapons and training. But...maybe part of the problem is having cruel prisons with the largest percent prison population in the world, many for non-violent, victimless so-called crimes. But, large prisons, a lifetime of endless worldwide wars, does help their budgets grow and grow and if anything goes wrong...well, they will say it's just because they didn't get enough support rather than see they were idiots and failures. Note too, in this clip, Afghanistan is now described as a "NATO mission." -- another common tactic in this new Lifetime of Endless Worldwide Wars....it's not just U.S. -- it's NATO or the UN. Truth & right do count, though. So losing is inevitable

POPSGerald Celente Predicts Obamageddon in 2012 In his latest interview with the Fox News Happy Hour , Gerald Celente appeared more gloomy than ever about the future of the United states of America, he predicted a series of events one gloomier than the next ranging from farmer riots to boss napping to New york City becoming like Mexico City...Gerald Celente said : What’s happening under the Obama administration is unprecedented. With these rescue schemes, bailout plans, the takeover of major corporations, on and on and on. So yes, it has been going on a long time but is accelerating now at a level that makes our country, that used to be the empire of entrepreneurial opportunity, now just a country to save the too-big-to-fails. It’s ending up bankrupting the country. The government is now in hock $546,000 per household. You’re never going to be able to pay it off in obligations. http://www.trendsresearch.com/

POPSAttorney: FBI trained NJ blogger to incite others So if this turns out to be true, then there are 2 crazy things happening with the FBI actually spying on US people (right wingers) and also using the blogsphere via a hired gun, to incite riots, responsive postings, etc. IF it is true and FBI is doing that, you have to woder what other 3 letter agencies are doing to shape people's opinions via New Media and psychological mechanisms. Hmmm... of course sales and marketing does that all the time in the real world, right ;-)

POPSRiots Breaking Out Nightly in Hometown of Obama, Axelrod, Jarrett and Emanuel
NBC calls them "near riots", but videos plainly demonstrate that if you were caught driving through this mess, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between a riot and a "near-riot". Increased police patrols are promised in the area around Leland and Sheridan in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood after "near riot-like" activity in the streets the past few nights. Video from the area appears to show about a dozen people running back and forth in the street, breaking bottles and yelling. One NBCChicago.com visitor wrote of "near riot-like gang fighting," and said that shots were fired Thursday night at about 10:30. On the Web site UptownUpdate.com, commenters express fear and anger over the activity. "This is by no means an isolated incident," reads a comment by Michael. "This same exact scene played out multiple times this Spring as well." "We have had 3 nights in a row of this and never in my 10 years of living here have I seen it so bad," wrote another resident.

POPSYale Nixes Muhammad Cartoons in New Book Many Muslims consider any depiction of Muhammad to be blasphemous. But other writers and artists have been willing to risk even violent reprisals for the sake of free speech. Author Sherry Jones has weathered threats for writing "The Jewel of Medina," a novel that depicts sex scenes involving Muhammad and his bride Aisha. Her original publisher, Random House, put the book on an indefinite hold following concerns that its content would be offensive to Muslims. "I decided to take a stand for free speech and publish my books in spite of threats and violence because I wanted to make a positive difference in the world," said Jones, who will publish a sequel, "The Sword of Medina," in the fall.

POPS"Dance, Puppets, Dance!" With right-wing "news" hosts and nutjob radio personalities spurring people on to obstruct the political process, there's no doubt that these riots are completely manufactured. Chances are the organizers of the anti-Reform mobs are on someone's payroll.
