Hat Tip: The People’s Cube Super Komissar Maksim
With great determination, he summoned up his best cocktail party, elegant manner and on national TV, during an interview, killed a fly. Now, I have to ask, was it really that annoying? Was it a North Korean nuclear missile? He was very decisive when he killed the fly. Reports are, however, that it may have been a jihadist fly, who had a fruit stand in D.C and left behind 10 wives and 300 kids.

Now, as some of you might know, according to the theory of reincarnation, all living entities possess a soul, and, therefore, this fly will have to come back again as a fly, since its life was rudely interrupted. Otherwise, it might have progressed naturally into a higher species.

Philosophy aside, though, I wish he might be just a little more decisive about dealing with our enemies, but, I realize that his mentor, Zbigniew Brzezinski was not around to give advice. Of course, Secretary of Defense Gates has sent out the USS McCain to track the Kang Yam, the North Korean ship reputed to be carrying nuclear proliferation parts.

Obama, however, seems to be making little noise about the atrocities that the Iranian government is making against the protesters. According to Helene Cooper & Mark Landel NY Times, Obama seems to have made a serious mistake in equating Ahmadinejad and Moussavi. “Either way,” Mr. Obama said, the United States is “going to be dealing with an Iranian regime that has historically been hostile to the United States, that has caused some problems in the neighborhood and is pursuing nuclear weapons.” Quite dismissive of the man who symbolizes Iran’s new democracy. One of the things that amazes me is the number of women who are protesting, even pregnant and older women. Possibly Moussavi came to represent more hope for women in this typically anti-feminist Muslim world, because of his wife, Zahra Rahnavard’s, presence on the campaign trail.

After his first 6 months or so of excessive power-grabs and government expansion, one has to wonder what exactly is Obama’s position. Actions speak louder than words.

I think what struck me the most was that Obama was totally oblivious to the fact that a news reporter was interviewing him on supposedly costly “air time” and that the reporter’s time was valuable. Or, possibly this is just telling the truth that air-time is no longer valuable, since it is now no more than state controlled? For the first time I could see how arrogant he really is.

According to economists, the full impact of the “phantom dollar” has not been felt yet. However, sales in survival goods has risen 300% in the last few months. According to Dr. Josiah Friberg, you should store up on sun-dried vegetables, legumes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sesame seeds, all of which have “comparable in biological quality value to animal proteins.” These also have essential vitamins and minerals, as well as unsaturated fatty acids. “The best grains to eat are buckwheat, oats, millet, and brown rice.” he says that  the other necessary food groups are vegetables and fruit, which are best eaten raw.

I remember back in the 90’s, going through Hurricane Andrew, when we had no electricity. We weren’t particularly affected, because we are vegetarian,and, therefore, had no worries about food spoilage. So, prepare for the future. Don’t be caught off guard.
