FACTS THE NEWS MEDIA WILL NOT TELL YOU AND THE BIG MEN DONT WANT US TO KNOW ABOUT....
by Uglydog on 24 June 2008 - 04:06
Youre correctomundo..
The CPI numbers that are reported to measure inflation in the Bond Markets,, Do NOT report Fuel or Food costs!
And thats where it counts to every consumer & homeowner. Is that the craziest thing youve ever heard?!
Hope you are well armed, & I mean well armed..Ideally 1000 rounds per gun. This is going to get really ugly in the next few years if not sooner.
An attack by the Israel on Iran, will bring us $12-15 a gallon gas, There will be blood in the streets, and Martial Law potentially.
Indianapolis hosted 2,500 Marines this weekend performing their Martial Laws drills this weekend. Really a Pschy Op, just getting us used to seeing US Marines in our Streets, with checkpoints & blocking off roads. They have plenty of places to train at their bases.
These bastards try to disarm you like they did lawful tax paying, upstanding citizens in New Orleans at Katrina, while black gangs ran Free with AKs assaulting people,.....Head, Neck or Leg shoot em & evade.
F*ck em. This is a clear violation of our 2nd Amendment US Constitutional Rights. They are not US Military at that point. They are traitors. They swore an oath to defend the US Constitution, not infringe upon it.

We have not seen ours yet, my mom's was 1/2 what was promised, one of my husband's co-workers got $94.00!!!! I agree 100%---we are in for seriously tough times. We are going to cut some trees, add some topsoil & start gardening our own veggies. Put up a privacy fence & add a chicken or two....screw the HOA. Trees cut for firewood, woodstove for heat. Cars almost paid off, no mortgage on the house......maybe I can have one of those vegetable oil conversions done to the Jimmy, make it run on old (burnt) frying oil. All the dogs stay.....even if we all have to eat the same thing. We'll be well armed, & have our dogs as well. jh
