WASHINGTON – The unemployment rate jumped almost half a point to 9.7 percent in August, the highest since 1983, reflecting a poor job market that will make it hard for the economy to begin a sustained recovery.
*****************************************************

"Well actually," that could be good news, actually. We'll just throw some chicken bones on the ground and dance around them, and see what comes up.

Okay here it is:
******************************************************
By SARA LEPRO, AP Business Writer Sara Lepro, Ap Business Writer-57 mins ago
NEW YORK – A mixed report on the labor market in August contained enough kernels of hope to send stocks higher on Friday.

The Labor Department reported a slower pace of job losses last month but also an increase in the unemployment rate to 9.7 percent — the highest since June 1983.

Analysts had been expecting the rate to increase to 9.5 percent after unexpectedly dipping to 9.4 percent in July. Most economists expect the unemployment rate to top 10 percent by early next year

Check out the times. The chicken bones must've known it was coming.

Community spirit? There's seems to be large amounts of local pride in the Great Lakes states. Was it always that way or have the hard times pulled people together? The U.S and world, IMO, is not going to be more centralized  but less-- devolving more towards local. It will no doubt involve a continuing and even escalating struggle with socialists and krapitalists. Unless  we get lucky and these two baboons just kill each other off in a alpha monkey war.  Then  Libertarians  can inherent the planet.  

This great community spirit that the Great Lakes seems to have could be a great advantage one day--a head start in a country of localized economies. A Sun Tzu example of "weakness becomes strength."

Max Pukecus wants to fine people who don't buy health insurance. Presumably that would be people who actually have any money but don't want any part of their communist insurance. Which makes mandatory health insurance  nothing but a tax to be paid to the AIG pig. Way to go comrade.

I was out of action for 18 hours due to computer problems
In safe mode I read all logbooks and they said internal error alternated with a device does not work
I ran 10 hours of three antivirus programs ( nothing )
I ran 5 hours of repair programs ( nothing )
I went to read the user manual and it said if I got the Toshiba logo the internal check was allright and then
it starts to load XP where it crashes ( not much help )
I watched the process explorer running two giga hardware interrups for hours and in safe mode there is virtually no hardware : so this is a mistery to me
I went for a walk for 15 minutes and when I returned everything was working fine
I am sure the stupid piece of 3000$ shit overheated and all my efforts kept it overheated .
And none of the diagnostics was smart enough to say so notwithstanding it got five heatsensors inside one of which that kept shutting it down
When I was back I read on the internet that Toshiba laptops are prone to overheat and nead cleaning
I downloaded speedfan which gives you all temperatures Two for the dual core and one for the NVIDEA cart and one for the hard disk
I put my superpowerfull vacuum cleaner on all inlets and outlets and saw the temperatures drop from
70 C to 36 C in a minute . However the cleaner sucked several keyboard keys off the keyboard in the process . So I had to do open heart surgery on the bag . Electrolux seems to be very powerfull vacuum cleaner . Now I am trying to determine whether I need to open up and demount the laptop to clean by hand the heatsink : but I will wait till gold breaks out because I have some shares to sell and do not want to be blind next week .
I hate computers but am lost without them
oh I overheated the thing with 4 giga ram and half a giga graphics by playing a game made in 2008

Ha, ha, the twinks aren't just dabbing  makeup on their transvestite "recovery", anymore they're lapping  it on with a putty-knife.   Lay it on boys; Max Factor that babe 'till she falls over from the weight-- "why is Ms. Recovery always hunched over and stumbling, oh no there she goes!"

Ghost of Ted:  "Looks like  we need dental care reform."  

They're  trying to fake out china into believing the fed has no more reasons to print money. And they're trying to fake out the stooges in congress (a much easier task) into believing the U.S can now afford  health care hand outs. CON-gress "wants to believe" they just need  "experts" to cover their lumpy butts when it becomes another TARPit. By the time they get around to voting on health care the transvestite will look as good as Marilyn Monroe. But the stuff that matters, still won't be real.

Oh yea, they can try to fake out the people who actually have some money in the bank into believing inflation is just around the corner. Better get rid of those dollars, spend, spend, spend.  Well that's not working either.

Mainstream,  I love it.  If it's mainstream, it's  sanitized. You get what they want you to get. You hear what they want you to hear. Why would that be any different with economics?

Ransoms were fairly common during that time, but often times the main Confederate leadership was compelled to pay for provisions from the locals, even during the Gettysburg campaign, not that Confederate money had a lot of buying power in 1863 Pennsylvania.  In contrast Union General William T. Sherman tended to let his soldiers do whatever, then stop them when they had pillaged most everything.

I know of one case where Montgomery Blair's home in Silver Spring MD, he was the US Postmaster General during the Lincoln administration, was burned by Confederates and they actually apologized, the general in charge of the soldiers was a personal friend of Blair's before the war.

There was an article in CoinWorld about a Confederate Cavalry General who demanded that a town in Maryland pay him $20,000 plus clothes for his troops or he'd burn the town down.

Seems plausible to me that one day  thugs in government will be doing the same thing.  Unless they  lay themselves off when the taxpayers' neck is empty. Yeah right. They could even sub the jobs out to gangs. That way bumcrats won't have to leave their A/C and donuts behind.   

                             "No donut left behind."                         

Union General William T. Sherman tended to let his soldiers do whatever, then stop them when they had pillaged most everything.

Sherman was the worse. He didn't just pillage he burned or killed anything that he couldn't pillage.  He even boosted that his troops could steal, scrape, and gut a hog without breaking ranks.

The American Civil War has been referred to as the first "Modern" war, in the sense that civilians for the first time in recorded history became targets.  Actually I think it was the first war that went back to the cave man style conflicts where there were no clear targets.

Nowadays anything goes, and nothing is sacred.

        IN THE CIVIL WAR THE CONFEDERATES HAD TO PAY IN GOLD, SILVER OR US PAPER BECAUSE TOWNS WOULD NOT ACCEPT SOUTHERN SCRIPT--PLUS THE GUERILLA BANDS JUST WORKED FOR THEMSELVES (BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH)--SHERMAN INTRODUCED THE SCORCHED EARTH POLICY--LEAVE NOTHING FOR THE ENEMY---BUT THE RUSSIANS USED THIS AGAINST NAPOLEON IN HIS MARCH TO MOSCOW YEARS BEFORE THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR---DESTROYING THE AMERICAN BISON BROUGHT THE PLAINS INDIANS INTO THE RESERVATIONS BECAUSE THEIR WHOLE DEPENDENCE WAS ON THE BUFFALO

It kind of sounds like our history and reality has been painted for us, regardless of the cost and where you live, and he who has the biggest brush gets to paint the picture. All I want to know is how do we get that darned brush away from them?

[scottishmoney]

History forgets the vanquished and makes right what could have been wrong all along.  I have a lot to share about that thought, but not a lot of desire to.  I know the Civil War, or as we refer to it, the War Between the States, very well.  A cousin and I have researched our family history going back to the 1680's but even the Revolutionary War involvement of ancestors is not nearly the draw and fascination as the Civil War, where literally I had ancestors fight against other ancestors in the same battles.  I have one Union(was captured in June 1861 and paroled out of the war - when both north and south were still exchanging POWs) ancestor, but three Confederate.  One of my ancestors was one of the last to give up the fight in June 1865 when CSA Genl. Stand Watie finally opted out.

  I HAD RELATIVES ON BOTH SIDES IN THE CIVIL WAR--MY GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS IN THE ALABAMA ARTILARY--IRONICALLY--STAND  WATIE WAS AN INDIAN FROM THE SOUTH--A CHEROKEE I BELIEVE--THE SOUTH HAD A FEW INDIAN REGIMENTS AND SCOUTS---THEY SEEM TO GET FORGOTTEN IN THE WRITING OF HISTORY.

In the theory of Turnings we are entering the 4th Turning. The first was the Revolutionary war, the second was the U.S Civil War, and the third was the Great Depression/WWll. Whatever form a 4th Turning takes, the status quo does not give in or budge an inch.  It's scotched earth, "to the death"  winner writes a sparkling history about themselves.

In unrelated news
The goldprice may have hit an high on thursday and I only sold Anglogold and none of the others
So if the 107 day high is in , then I screwed up because the next high is for jan 2010 and may be 1440$
Some say silver hit the hight and will correct down too ( I figure gold will correct down for three weeks
if the high is really in )

No jobs, no signs that lost jobs are ever coming back, no precedence that I'm aware of, that bubbles have ever re-inflated or that new ones can ever start without massive credit expansion.  Right now the government and it's parlor of walking dead junkies are taking money faster then it can printed, bamboozled from foreigners or stolen from tax payers. We've been bullying and psyops-ing everything for so long we believe we can psyops the world into taking a  transvestite  for the real thing. Too bad, no one's buying it this time.

[scottishmoney]

Unemployment is one thing, but add to that the now so called "underemployed" that are being furloughed for sometimes weeks at a time, unpaid of course.  A couple of my relatives work in ancillary industries connected to the auto industry now and are in that category, taking weeks at a time of unpaid time off.  At least they are not laid off, but this complicates matters in that you CANNOT collect unemployment.

Michigan sucks.  Governator Grannyholm is more concerned with her national spotlight than what is going on in this dung heap.

[longnine009]

It's worse than that. They try to convince people here that inflation is around the corner so people will spend their savings and at the same time, *in the same breath practically*  they tell the Chinese that there won't be any inflation.  

Not to worry though, I got this stuff figured out now. It's really simple "actually." The cosmos is having a schizophrenic  spasm (probably what that Mayan calender and 2012 is about) The problem here is that  it's too enormous to make a Prozac  pill for it and it's too dispersed to to pin point any particular entity so Max Baucus can  threaten it  with a law saying it must stop this skizzy spasm or else.  And apparently we are the fractal version of the cosmos. Why else would anyone believe these  hallucinations from the fed?

Oh yeah, speaking of hallucinations,  I think BO forgot to mention the part where everyone buying a new car this year under the cash for looters program probably won't be buying a new car next year.

That's why "buy and hold" worked so well in the 80's and 90's. It's even easier now, "buy and burn a doobie....dude"  Probably won't be much attention span there either. 

IMO, metals will win this contest. It's our turn. But the wallstreet leper colony and it's keepers still have lots of smoke and mirrors.

I wonder if I can convince the IMF that Saor Eireann would like to buy some gold to help out it's small but vibrant economy.  Perhaps they would be willing to let it at $350 an oz?

[longnine009]

I'm guessing the baboons want to sell gold to China in the hope that they will later dump it and collapse the price.  The government is advertising for Chinese to buy gold and silver on T.V. So if the IMF sells them gold they can at least slow it's advance. But if China implodes   people will sell gold to survive or just to pay margin calls---which is the same thing as surviving.  

Yeah, they do things a bit different in China. Financial fraud is rewarded with a bullet in the head rather than a bonus. I'm pretty sure people will sell their gold and pay for their own mistakes to avoid that.
