Long on Gold. Short on Sorghum. 10 years after 9-11 and Sept. 1 rant.

[GordonJ]

Gosh. I wish I were smarter. So I could figure out what the drought and wildfires that ravaged the Plains did to the Sorghum crop.

If I were...I'd might "hedge my bet" to higher meat prices this fall.

Higher FOOD prices across the board???...well, haven't they been climbing upward for decades?

Anyhow, for me there isn't a difference between Wall St., the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Las Vegas or any Casino... or the IRS.

the ODDS are in the house's favor. They WIN with my money...so they don't get to use MY money, except for IRS. I appreciate them. Cause how would we pay for all that great NEW infrastructure taking place across American and putting tens of thousands of people back to work?

Although I don't participate in the Markets...

...I keep a watch on trends and current events. You never know when you might see an opportunity.

We're 10 days away from the 10th anniversary of 911.

The world is still on fire..Libya seems to have been won by the rebels...who have the daunting task of rebuilding the country...let's hope they have enough water to do it. Middle East on BIG fire, with violence predicted for the "Palestine Statehood" discussion coming to UN.

Tornado season is mostly over...now Hurricane season...and EARTHQUAKES.

So, how you all doing?

I've lost 16 pounds in the last six weeks with my "don't let em kill you" diet. The em would be the medical professionals I've had to deal with...spent 15 days in the hospital and the rest of the time in bed...some thought DEATH bed...

But...here I am.

Short version: Super Dehydrated. Kidney failure. Bowels quit working. Medication reaction which created worse problems...viral and fungal infections.

I know this: the HOSPITAL is no place to be if you are trying to get well.

I have several more tests to do...but, as of today, at least...my body seems to be working and my mind is at least attempting.

LESSONS? Sure.

The Doom and Gloom of World events comes to a screeching halt when some intern is sticking tubes down your throat and up your butt (fortunately, not the same tube...although, I had to keep an eye on them).

One nurse gave me the wrong medication (which I caught in time)...
Another one ordered a procedure (convinced the absentee doctor I needed it)...which was totally unnecessary.

Two doctors within an hour of each other gave totally opposite instructions...etc. etc., and typical hospital type stuff.

But they haven't killed me yet. I'm doing my best not to let em.

In August of 2009 they killed my friend Phyllis. In Jan. 2010 they killed my mother...and now they're after me.

Or maybe, it's not about me and more about the state of our medical care...and why oh why didn't I go to law school and become a John Edwards type lawyer??????

I'd be rich as rich can be.

So, friends, I don't have anything useful to add to the current discussions here.

I'm glad to be able to read it, hell, glad to be able to see.
And to read.
And to breathe even.

NOW my next adventure is focused on (by survival instinct)...

FOOD and DIET.

I see we've had some discussion started. Based on the American Supermarket...which has more "food" available than anywhere else in the world...and I'm all for the freedom to choose how you want to kill yourself...

be it via tobacco
guns
carbohydrates
potato chips and pop (soda)

As long as you don't harm others.

Ah, but there's the rub. The costs of caring for the 30 year two pack a day smoker are killing us all.

I'd love to be able to rant and rave some more...just wanted to hit some highlights...

but, when it comes down to it...

iffin you ain't got your health...and it is MOSTLY (some would justifiably argue totally) your responsibilty and

your health comes down to 3 key factors.

Genes. Which you can do something about...be aware.
Diet. What you CHOOSE to put into your body.
Exercise. Whether you give your body a chance or not.

The fourth factor... QUALITY health care (and even if you have a private wing at the Cleveland Clinic...you still may be dead after the health CARE professionals get through with you)...

For the rest of us, we must become actively involved in our health...and do everything we can to maintain good health and combat any attacks made by bugs, infections and professional health care givers.

PS. If you called, and I DID NOT call you back...feel free to try me again while I'm felling up to the task, OK?

PPS. My lose weight, shrink your ass down quickly Diet book should be hitting the Border's shelves any day now.

Gordon,

Glad to hear you survived the assaults.

The most recent history of "them" trying to kill us goes back 150 years. It began with Old Bill. The coot was quite a marketer ... and he begat a long line of some serious marketers.

It's a long article, but I strongly suggest you read at least the first few paragraphs for some historical perspective on them trying to kill us:

Old Bill

Take care, bud.

Richard,

Your link sent me down the rabbit hole. I'll be posting all week regarding this.

I want to Thank You...while, muttering under my breath, "darn Richard"...

you know this plays into my conspiracy/illuminati/new world order/doom and gloom/paranoid side....and sez to meself...see, I told you so.

Much more to come. Thanks.

Between Richard Dennis, Glenn Osborn and the SaltyDroid...and working on my projects and working with Dien...

There hasn't been sleep. OK, that's not true...I've gotten plenty, well, certainly enough.

Cause here I am again.

At first glance it may appear I'm caught in a vortex, or like one of those pirate ships, I'm being sucked down into a water cyclone...

and wasting time chasing after a wide variety of subjects...

BUT, I argue...

all of these pursuits have ONE thread woven throughout...

CONTROLLING People.

There is a FireStorm at www.saltydroid.info taking place over something I have no interest in and in fact have never heard of...

I have no dog in the fight, no horse in the race and no skin in the game...and have NO idea what a Third Tribe is...or have I heard of any of those members of said such tribe.

Of course, those who know me, know I'm not very tribal to begin with...a rare disease perhaps? But I have no need to belong.

More like Groucho Marx, W. C. Fields and Moe of the 3 Stooges, each credited with:

I have no desire to belong to a club that would allow someone like me to be a member.

Or along those lines.

There is an excellent post at the salty droid by Slowly Waking posted on Sept. 6 at 1:46 (so you can scroll through the dozens of posts)...

from someone who accurately describes the PROCESS, or I should say the reverse process of a SALES FUNNEL as taught by marketers everywhere.

It was, for me, an interesting read...BECAUSE at the same time, I was reading and researching the link that Richard Dennis posted about our fine medical profession and BIG pharm...while reading several works from Glenn Osborn about marketing, salesmanship and the psychology of influence...to which I am NO stranger.

There are attempts at every turn to CONTROL us, to take charge of our minds, bodies and souls. Good vs Evil? God vs Devil? Man vs Man?

Whichever way your learned proclivities may lie.

There is a much bigger Sh*tStorm taking place in real world...than the one taking place at the Salty Droids...

Germany is about to make a decision which has worldwide effect...and perhaps even the dissolving of the EU. The DOLLAR, and I'm talking US Dollar is once again on TOP, and Gold is headed toward that 2200 figure I wrote about in Jan. at DoomGloom and Bliss.

Who is in control? Of YOU?

I hope your answer is YOU. If not, expect a bumpy ride.

PS. Since I'm not sleeping, and I seem to have the energy (caffeine??)...then I'll be working and posting...something that wasn't in my plans...until the new plans arrive. Thanks for reading.

Gordon,

I just LOVE this 1918 full-page magazine ad: a mother's gift to her baby.

Notice the name of the company that provides great health for the baby ... not exactly the ad where I'd expect to see THAT name.

A Mother's Gift

A Mother's Gift

Richard

Medici, Rothschild, Rockefeller...

Kennedy.

It goes WAY back.

And looking at that piece of ART, what a beautiful thought...

a LOVING mother, with her precious HEALTHY child

who wants to keep the child HEALTHY for years to come...

will pour, Crude Oil (slightly less than crude, but certainly Rude Oil)...

down the kid's throat so JD and gang can make a buck.

Thanks Richard, it plays into my discussion on INFLUENCE.

This ad campaign probably sold much OIL for Standard...thank God for modern medicine circa 1918.
