What Really Happened: Early Winter an Early Omen

http://memes.org

The AccuWeather.com Winter Forecast released today does not contain good news for homeowners in the East. Chief Long Range Forecaster Joe Bastardi says, "The winter as a whole in the population-dense eastern third of the nation will be a one-two punch of higher heating prices and lower temperatures."
According to Bastardi, the overall colder and snowier winter will be off to a cold start in December with perhaps the roughest winter month for much of the nation. It may finish with another cold spell in late January and February.

What Really Happened: With Spotlight on Pirates, Somalis on Land Waste Away in the Shadows

http://memes.org

The causes are unemployment, drought, inflation, a squeeze on global food supplies and a war that will not end. Fighting between Somalia’s weak transitional government and a determined Islamist insurgency has been heating up in the past few weeks, driving thousands from their homes and cutting people off from food. The hospital wards here are one indicator of the conflict’s intensity.

What Really Happened: Poetry Contest!! A Crunch Into Niemoller’s Credit

http://memes.org

First they came for my holiday home
and I didn’t speak up,
because I couldn’t afford a break anyway.
Then they came for my new car
and I didn’t speak up,
because I didn’t have the money to fill the tank.
Then they came for my fridge
and I didn’t speak up,
because I couldn’t find the cash to buy some sausage and mash.
Then they came for my pillow,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I couldn’t put my mind to rest.
Then they came for me,
but with no debts to pay back I was a penniless hack.

What Really Happened: Israel: wedded to war?

http://memes.org

Using brute force to "sear" certain truths into the consciousness of Arabs of varying descriptions has a certain heritage in Israeli and Zionist thought, going all the way back to Jabotinsky's theory of the "iron wall". In the 1920s he wrote candidly that "every indigenous people will resist alien settlers as long as they see any hope of ridding themselves of the danger of foreign settlement". The need then was for an "iron wall" of force to bring the Palestinians to the point of giving up "all hope".

What Really Happened: Washington Bailout a Bust. Depression to Follow

http://memes.org

Once again, Washington has proven that anything it touches is doomed to failure. Unable to win wars, repair levees, fix voting machines or rebuild its Twin Towers, the colossal $700 billion bailout package passed last week by Congress proved to be an instant bust.
As we predicted in our 26 September 2008 Trend Alert Put the Bailout on the Ballot -- "The bailout plan will only bail out CEOs and preferred stakeholders of failing financial firms while sinking the American people deeper in debt."

What Really Happened: A Solution?

http://memes.org

Let’s begin with the fact that the financial crisis is more or less worldwide. The mechanism that spread the American-made financial crisis abroad was the massive US trade deficit. Every year the countries with which the US has trade deficits end up in the aggregate with hundreds of billions of dollars.

Last week brought a dangerous new turn to the on-going United States Attorney and Justice Department disaster.

How many more lies must we listen to? How many more political scandals must we endure? How many more of our young people have to be grievously wounded or die in unnecessary and illegal wars, and how many more trillions of dollars in economic waste must we clean up before we are sickened enough to demand effective changes in our government?
Are we ready for a peaceful political "evolution" to safeguard our personal and economic freedoms in this country and to avoid committing war crimes against others?
