I'm saying "screw the banks" by closing my account at the end of the month. Will get my SS checks by mail, will pay 2 insurance bills by mail (with a money order). The rest of the cash will remain in a safe place. My little account only has less than $1K in it every month anyway, so they won't miss me.
What prompted this is that my small regional bank recently was sold to a larger bank which informed me that my previously "free" account would be charged fees...including $3 to direct deposit my SS check. Screw these nickel and dime assholes (yeah, I know those "little" fees add up to billions every year for the greedheads).

This Bloomberg article lays it out fairly well about oil. Attacks on Shell operations in Nigeria; reduced output at Mexico's largest oil field, and speculator news...
Speculators...I spit on them. Now those who underestimated the inflated bids earlier are trying to make up for lost profits by bidding even higher on oil futures. We may be paying $6/gal or more by the end of the year. Mark your calendar.
All my research on this in the last couple of years indicated that Israel had at least 100, so this is an increase. So, who is providing Israel with these (hint, hint). Or does Israel have its own nuclear facilities?
And they wonder why the Palestinians resent them and their imperialist thrust into traditional Palestinian lands?

Israel has its own nuclear facilities and has had them since the early sixties:
"The Dimona reactor went on-line some time between 1962 and 1964, and with the plutonium produced there, perhaps together with enriched uranium (see Plumbat Operation), the Israel Defence Forces most probably had their first nuclear weapons ready before the Six-Day War."
Don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

More worldwide news on stocks and banking. Seems "consolidation" and buyouts are the order of the day...even as stocks and banking are digging their own holes.
The money handlers are having a field day. The discomfort of others is profitable. The problem with that scenario is that the middle class does not know how to reform itself and so dwindles away. In the Great Rollout of history, the demise of the middle class makes way for the rise of the Proletariat Revolutionaries but that will be messy. I hate messy but if that's what the plutocrats want, they're doing a good job of fomenting it. Viva la lucha!

Banks also pissed me off which why I am now with a credit union. CUs are much more people-oriented rather than investor-oriented. Give CUs a try.

Attention all "christians": Didn't that lowborn little Jew throw the moneychangers out of the temple 2000 years ago? Obviously something that Islam took notice of--the Quran prohibits "riba" or charging interest on loans. Usury is a crime, according to Sharia law.
All conspiracy theories aside, that makes it easier to understand one of the fundamentals inherent in the destruction of the World Trade Center and why Islamics hate the west. Even if it was a setup job...

Usary is also a mortal sin in the medieval Catholic Church. Dante places the userers deep in hell, he never mentions "abortion" though. I guess the rules have changed. Convenience and control issues as morality makes a pagan wonder about the teachings of those Christianisms.

Right on C in P!. Hillary was one of the people running to bail these fuckers, ivy league assholes, out. Greenspan/Bernacke are laissez faire monetarists until their friends need a bailout.
Oil imports could be $1 trillion in 2008. I fear for the economies of the west.

Should we anticipate "beer riots" in the US?
Viva la lucha!
