While the changes may not be seen as a positive development for the state of our Republic and would likely leave many of the founding fathers shaking their heads, they seem to be perfectly legal under the Constitution.

I have never seen so many indicators of total meltdown, when compared to past economic collapses throughout history, as I see today. Not to sound melodramatic, but I’m really not certain if I will be writing these financial analysis articles for much longer. I suspect that before the year is out there will be no more need, being that every facet I have laid out over the years will become glaringly obvious to everyone.

A recent call to the San Luis Obispo County Sherriff’s department reported shots fired at a two-acre privately owned residence in an unincorporated area of the county. What happened next is nothing short of a clear setup of the homeowner for criminal violations, and a subsequent cover up to protect the arresting officers. As luck would have it, much of the arrest and search and seizure of Mr. Hart’s home and weapons was caught on audio and video surveillance by police issued equipment.

The criminal web sites in question were hosted on Blogetry and were reportedly engaged in piracy of MP3 audio files, software applications and pornography.

A rapid military build-up and an unconfirmed road-block maneuver is being conducted, along with a visible exodus of residents in the Barataria Bay area of Jefferson Parish in South Louisiana.

A decade from now we’ll simply have the rich oligarchs and corporatists who will run the political and economic machine, and the working class who’ll do their bidding – kind of like the population make-up of the former East Block countries under socialism/communism.

We would have approved of Warren’s appointment anyway, but Geithner’s opposition makes us want Elizabeth Warren for the job that much more.

China has tried to jump start their economy by infusing lenders with hundreds of billions of dollars, much like the US government has, but to no avail.

The National Inflation Association discusses the possibility of hyperinflation and what effects it might have on the nation’s just-in-time food delivery systems and transportation.

An insider at a major bank tells the Schaef Report that Fannie Mae is one of the few secondary market investors who are refusing to postpone foreclosures while customers are in the midst of a lengthy loan modification process.

Dr. Malik Zulu Shabazz, leader of the new Black Panther Party, says that their party, like the Tea Party, should be armed. Speaking at a Black Panther Party National Convention in Atlanta, Shabbaz said, “of course we should be armed mentally, culturally, and spiritually. If you don’t think we need to be in self defense, according for those (sic) who are watching, to our second amendment rights – if you think we should go less than our so-called Constitutional rights, you’re out of your mind.”

The end result for the residents of Oakland will be higher crime, perhaps even in violent crimes as criminals get more confident that police will take longer to respond, if they respond at all. For those in Oakland, or any city facing budgetary problems, we highly recommend acquiring self defense capabilities and preparing security layers within your personal residence.
