This might seem like a boring topic, but it is the most important thing to understand if you care about an economic recovery in the United States. FYI: I am an American.
Big business loans are interest-only, meaning no principal reduction is required. The loans are based on LIBOR (which is referred to as a "benchmark rate"). The 1-month LIBOR rate is currently .44%. A big business typically pays a low spread over the LIBOR benchmark rate. For the purposes of this example we will use a spread of 1%. So, big business' interest rate is 1.44% and its loan payments are interest-only. When a big business borrows money to make a $1 million investment it only costs them $14,400 per year.
Small business loans - which are guaranteed by the US government - are based on the Prime (benchmark) rate and are fully-amortizing, typically over 5 years. The Prime rate is currently 3.5%. Small business pays a higher spread over the benchmark rate than big business (despite the loans being guaranteed by the US government). For the purposes of this example we will use a spread of 2%. So when a small business borrows money to make an investment it pays 5.5%, fully-amortizing over 5 years. The same $1 million investment costs that small business $229,212 per year, 16 times higher than that of big business.
The debt constant (annual payment/loan amount) for a small business loan is 23%. So, in order for a small business to be able to borrow money it needs to find an opportunity that produces cash flow in excess of 23%, or else it will lose money for 5 years (and likely go bankrupt). There are very few opportunities like that in today's economy.
A big business only needs to find opportunities that produce cash flow in excess of 1.44%. Obviously, most existing investment and business opportunities qualify.
Moreover, US government-backed small business loans forbid small businesses from engaging in "financial" or "rent extracting" activities, which are the most stable and profitable businesses. There are also restrictions on small businesses engaging in international trade. Big business loans do not have any of these restrictions.
Big business is not smarter or more efficient than small business. They just have a lower cost of capital and a wider scope of available business activities. This is a result of big businesses' lobbyists influencing Congress to keep small business loans uncompetitive.
Given this dynamic, small business investment is near-impossible, and big business consolidation is inevitable. There are fewer and fewer companies cornering more and more markets. The result is the corporate oligarchy that exists in America today. There was an interesting statistic released recently. The US has fewer corporations than it had 40 years ago, despite there being three times as many citizens.
If corporations are people, do we just need more people?
The only way this is going to change is if the "people" lobby Congress to alter the terms of small business loans (which are governed by the Small Business Administration) to make them competitive with big business loans.
This inequality in the cost of capital is the cornerstone of the current corporate oligarchy. Small businesses are the backbone of America. Small businesses have created far more wealth and high-paying jobs for Americans than big business and the government combined. Today, small business is dying.
The only way to save the economic heart of the American economy is to change the lending inequality between small and big businesses. Otherwise, America will never become great again.

Below are two clips of Tyra Banks interviewing a medical expert who specializes in face-reading. The proven scientific links between facial bone structure and psychological tendencies are astounding. She even gives one example explaining that people with upturned noses are worse with money than those with downturned noses. I have noticed that many of the things she mentions are true. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in learning how to better read people. Part 1: http://youtu.be/baf98a1GPEUPart 2: http://youtu.be/KzmgxvOx7TM |

Rahm Emanuel can't keep his own aides safe while on duty and he can't keep his own son safe in front of their family home. No wonder he has failed at keeping Chicago safe. He just doesn't "have it." The city needs to fund its failing police force, schools, and basic social programs, not double property taxes in order to pay $1 billion of annual interest to Rahm's megabank campaign donors. Chicago needs an economic reset similar to Detroit's in order to shed its $30 billion debt load so the city can begin healing and rebuilding. It also needs an executive reset. Rahm is beholden to his bankster donors and refuses to do what is right. He is unqualified to be mayor of Chicago. Unions fear a municipal bankruptcy would result in a reduction of pension benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth. Detroit's pensioners were largely unaffected by their city's restructuring. Additionally, Illinois state constitutional restrictions forbid any pension adjustments in bankruptcy court. There would be ample cash flow from the $1 billion annual reduction in interest payments to cover any short-term pension shortfall. The logical long-term solution is for the public employees to negotiate a small pay raise post-bankruptcy and bail in their pensions. Chicago city pensioners would not miss a dime. In fact, municipal bankruptcy would benefit the unions because hiring and pay freezes would come to an end. It would be nice to have the city working again. Rahm Emanuel does not represent the interests of Chicago's citizens. He represents the economic interests of Chicago's municipal bondholders. His political agenda is directly opposed to the wellbeing of the city's residents, homeowners, and workers. Enough is enough. Rahm Emanuel has got to go. Below, the New Yorker details the many failures of Rahm Emanuel as mayor of Chicago. http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-sudden-but-well-deserved-fall-of-rahm-emanuel |

I ran a Google Images search of "Famous Freemasons" and noticed all of the members (of the white lodges) have long noses. With all the rumours of a global Judeo-Masonic conspiracy, this makes sense. It appears Masons are simply the genetic cousins of the Jews. Are they really part of a racist conspiracy of long-nosed devils to enslave all other humans?
I never believed that stuff, but now it's just obvious. It seems the truth really is "as plain as the nose on your face." The world is a race war, but they're the only ones fighting. You better wake up before it's too late.

Some people are easier to brainwash than others. There is a simple way to tell a gullible person: they have an upward-turned nose. If you look at them head-on you can see their nostrils. These people are far more likely to be brainwashed by the system, and far more likely to lose their minds when reprocessing the world once they begin to sense the reality of this social dynamic. Examples: James Holmes, Adam Lanza, Dylann Roof, Vester Lee Flanagan, Robert Dear The criminals on that list all seemed like good guys with serious mental issues. They were. They really were programmed. Deliberately. Intentionally. The schools, the media, the schoolyard bully, the mean girls, the nice girls, your mom, and the churches are all in on it. All of them. The world is a big conspiracy. Long-nosed Jews, long-nosed Freemasons, and long-nosed Romans/Catholics (read: Irish) are genetically evil. The radical feminists (witches) also play their part. Together they orchestrate a big media and social lie to trick good, gullible people into believing "we are all in this together" and then use the good people's (whom they call "mindless golems") goodwill as an excuse to take advantage of them. They use the love of good men as a tool of enslavement. That is the current world order. Aren't you ready for a new world order? One based on goodness and truth instead of evil and lies? It is within our grasp. First, you need to open your eyes. The rest will happen naturally. Below is a great interview by Tyra Banks with a medical expert who specializes in face reading. The proven scientific links between facial bone structure and psychological tendencies are astounding. She even gives one example explaining that people with upturned noses are worse with money than those with downturned noses. This entire world is one big scam run by evil, ugly, long-nosed devils to gain an economic mating advantage. My Jewish former coworker David Weinberg (COO of Equity Commonwealth REIT) used to refer to the nature of this global conspiracy as "beating up the retards." Integration was a bad idea. America never should have let the Jews or the Irish into the country. They have completely destroyed everything. It's time for a new world order. http://youtu.be/baf98a1GPEU |

Islam is not the enemy. There are peaceful Muslims in most parts of the world. However, Arabs have a long and storied history of violence. Even Israeli Jews generally have little problem with "Muslims" but they really don't like "Arabs." Islam is a religion. Arab is an ethnicity.
There is a difference. Islam and Jewish doctrine are near identical. Peaceful Muslims and Orthodox Jews have good relations. There are even assimilated Arab Muslims in Israel's legislature, despite the fact that Israel is technically an Orthodox Jewish theocracy whose highest authority is a religious Jewish court.
All of the recent terrorist acts were done by Arabs who feel oppressed. They aren't Indonesians. They aren't Ethiopians. Even the Nation of Islam (despite Louis's stupid talk) has been entirely peaceful to date. The terrorists are Arabs. Islamic doctrine is no more violent than Jewish or Christian. Arabs are simply more likely to misinterpret that doctrine to justify their instinctive evil.
The issue is genetic, not dogmatic. These people have survived thousands (if not millions) of years in a very resource-scarce environment by waging constant wars against their neighbors. They are a violent people. When they are poor or oppressed they fight. Ethnic Jews are the same. Look at what they did to Tsar Nicholas and his entire family. However, in today's world economic privilege keeps Jews from engaging in terrorism.
Malcom Gladwell explains this very well in "Outliers." He admits that people's genetic makeup determines their behavior. The genetic makeup of a tribe/race is predicated by the environment in which it evolved. Unadaptive genes were mated out or killed. People from resource-scarce environments are typically deceptive and warlike (a.k.a. evil), and people from resource-rich nations are typically honest and peaceful (a.k.a. good).
This is why Nordic and Slavic people from land-rich regions are generally honest and peaceful, while Arabs (and ethnic Jews) from less fertile regions are generally dishonest and warlike. The honest nature of Northern Europeans unfortunately causes them to be gullible, and more susceptible to brainwashing.
If you read Mein Kampf you will realize Hitler and most Germans were completely brainwashed by media lies, tricked by usury scams, and almost lost their country as a result. Hitler woke up, saw genetic good and evil, and cleaned house. Now Germany and Austria are arguably the richest and most peaceful places in the world.
Americans are finding themselves in the same situation. The hook-nosed Jews have brainwashed society through Hollywood, robbed the middle class through Wall Street, and are strangling the American government with their unmatched political lobbying. Once in a while the hook-nosed Arabs step in with a terrorist attack to create a false enemy to distract the sheeple from the domestic parasites and unite them against a made up boogeyman, "Radical Islam."
Ethnic Arabs and ethnic Jews are two sides of the same coin, fighting the same fight. It is not a "holy war." It is a race war and they are the only ones fighting. The dogmatic justification is a distraction. Open your eyes, the truth is "as plain as the nose on your face."
And yes, there is a Masonic connection. I have no clue what they do, but I do know if you Google "Famous Freemasons" all of the members (of the white-race lodges) are long-nosed.
The Bible, Koran, and Torah all describe the genetic predispositions of certain tribes. They actually command certain groups be killed. While it is difficult to translate the ancient tribal names to modern ethnic subgroups, it is fairly easy to see which are problems.
Islam is simply a doctrine that places the natural order above social engineering. Unless you are a globalist social engineer, you probably agree with the vast majority of Islamic doctrine. Please consider using the term "Arab" when referring to the evil slime that is killing westerners. If you want to describe the secret Arab-Jew alliance, you could refer to them as "devils" or "hook-nosed devils." That's what they are.
There are many logical reasons to dislike Arabs. There are far fewer logical reasons to dislike all Muslims. If you are going to be a bigot you will get a lot further not sounding like an idiot.

Homosexuality is not genetic. It is caused by being molested. I have several close gay friends who have confirmed this, including a licensed psychologist in Chicago named Michael Harvey. Gays' first sexual experience is involuntary and painful, but they ultimately enjoy the sexual release, as well as the control their attractiveness has over their male abusers. They enjoy the experiences that come after the first.
Men are not born gay, they are broken. This is why gay men, on average, are better looking than straight men. They are more attractive to their abusers, and are therefore more likely to be molested. And yes, they also inherit the desire to rape young boys, and break more boys into their gay lifestyle. All of them. This is why they lie about their past, and the true nature of homosexuality. They know that if the true nature of their sexuality were known, they would not be accepted in society.
I know to many this may sound insane. Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow. It is time to end the cycle of shame and abuse, and protect our boys from these sexual predators.

So as it turns out, there really are two ceremonial meals in the Jewish religion that have traditionally involved the horrific consumption of the flesh and blood of gentile children. What's even more shocking is that these practices continue today.
The first example of ritual Jewish cannibalism is the hamentashen eaten on the Purim holiday. Jewish children learn that the triangular pastry is a replica of the triangular hat worn by Hamen, the arch enemy of the Jewish people. The truth is that the pastry is actually meant to look like Hamen's ear, not his hat. These pastries are filled with poppy seeds, apricots, chocolates, and other sweets, but many Jews throughout history also filled these pastries with the flesh, fat, and blood of local gentile children kidnapped and murdered in a ritual sacrifice of revenge.
Second, the afikomen. This special matzah is hidden during the Passover seder. After the ceremonial meal the children of the home seek out and find the hidden piece of unlevened bread, they return it to their father for a reward, and then everyone eats it for dessert. All fun and games, right?
No. This ritual is symbolic of the tenth plague: the slaying of the first born. Jews teach their children that "God" killed the Egyptian pharaoh's first born as a punishment for not releasing the slaves. This is not entirely true. Jews also teach that God works through the actions of men. The Israelites were the real perpetrators of the mass killing of all Egyptian first born children.
This includes Egyptian children born to women in Jews' own homes. Most slave families of that era had at least one child in their household fathered by the Egyptians. This is symbolized by the vacant seat at the seder table, the plate of uneaten food, and the feigned ignorance of the whereabouts of its intended occupant, "Elijiah."
What's the truth? The male Jewish head of household murdered his stepson, baked his flesh into the matzah, put his blood into the 4 cups of red wine drank at the seder, and rejoiced in the murder of the innocent child of the pharaoh. Jewish children are ritually trained to hunt, kill, and eat non-Jewish children at an early age.
Many Jews still use human flesh in ritual pastries for Passover. They are not widely distributed, but certain rabbis continue the practice. During a Seder at a Hasidic congregation in Chicago I followed a rabbi into the kitchen and stole a bit of his pastry. It was much different than a traditional matzah. It looked more like a hunk of halavah. I took it and ate it. He told me not to. I asked him, "Is this what I think it is?" He told me yes and scolded me. It was bland and tasteless. The entire experience was surreal.
This is nothing new. Jews are notoriously cannibalistic. In ancient times, killing and eating the children of their oppressors was the Jewish path to freedom. They have unfortunately continued this tradition in the modern day.
I was a victim of this practice. I was adopted by a Jewish family. While I was raised Jewish, I was also badly abused. In addition to daily torture I was given allergy shots as a way for my body to produce antibodies and hormones. Then my blood was drained from my body and consumed by my mother, who is a longtime student and practitioner of occult witchcraft.
I know this all sounds hard to believe, but it's true. Jews claim to be the "chosen people of God," yet their religion permits this heinous practice. While blood is not kosher for consumption, human flesh shockingly is. Nothing in Jewish scripture or tradition forbids Jews from kidnapping, torturing, killing, and eating gentile children.
Child sacrifice is a cornerstone of Jewish faith and culture. There is no doubt that the methods of this ancient Jewish tradition have evolved, but the core practice remains.
And I find it sick.

There are two pastries in the Jewish religion that have traditionally used human flesh as an ingredient.
First, the Hamentashen. Jewish children learn that the triangular pastry is a replica of the triangular hat worn by Hamen, the arch enemy of the Jewish people. The truth is that the pastry is actually meant to look like Hamen's ear, not his hat. These pastries are filled with poppi seeds, apricots, chocolates, and other sweeets. But many Jews throughout history also filled these pastries with the flesh, fat, and blood of local gentile children kidnapped and murdered in a ritual sacrifice of revenge. This practice continues today, and often involves the use of aborted fetuses supplied to Jewish bakers from organizations like Planned Parenthood.
Second, the Afikomen. This special matzoh is hidden during the Passover Seder. It is a fun game for children to seek out and find the hidden piece of unlevened bread, return it to their father for a reward, and then everyone eats it for dessert. All fun and games, right?

It looked more like a hunk of halavah. I took it and ate it. He yelled at me not to. I asked him, "Is this what I think it is?" He told me yes and scolded me. The next few days I experienced a mild psychedelic experience and a rather substantial period of enlightenment.
Jews throught history have been notoriously cannibalistic. They still are today. Killing the children of their oppressors and eating them was the Jewish path to freedom. They have continued the tradition, and continue to rule the world through lies and usury to this day.
I was a victim of this practice. I was adopted by a Jewish family. While I was raised Jewish, I was also badly abused. In addition to daily torture, I was given allergy shots as a way for my body to produce antibodies and hormones, and then my blood was drained from my body and consumed by my mother, who is a longtime student and practitioner of occult witchcraft.
I know this sounds hard to believe, but it is true. While blood consumption is not kosher, human flesh has always been kosher. Crazy, I know. Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow.
If humanity is ever going to overcome the tyrrany of Jewish brainwashing, usury, and enslavement, the good men and women of this world are going to have to learn to beat them at their own game.

After months of continuous international travel, and decades of American life, I have come to the conclusion that all hook-nosed people are complete garbage. They act differently and have a completely different demeanor than the rest of us. It's not just Jews. It is all hook-nosed people.
I was blind to this for most of my life. I think it was because many actors are hook-nosed and play nice people on TV and in movies. I was probably just brainwashed. Considering Hollywood is run by hook-nosed Jews, I am now certain this brainwashing was deliberate on the part of the evil media producers.
But the difference is night and day. If you haven't noticed, try paying attention. Notice the way hook-nosed people turn their back to you as you pass on the street. Notice their rude demeanor. Look at the behavior of hook-nosed people in your lives, versus that of the others.
Yes, Jews are the ultimate example of this. But I think the issue is biological, and not religious. In fact, the non-hook-nosed Jewish people I encountered in Austria were some of the best people I've ever met.
The difference transcends race. Hook-nosed blacks are generally pieces of shit, while blacks with streamlined profiles and upward-turned noses are typically great (although still black).
This rule applies to Indians, Asians, and all other ethnicities. I have found no exceptions. None.
It is almost as if hook-nosed people are a purely evil race. I have also noticed that they are fully aware of their evil nature, and most non hook-nosed people are not. It is as if hook-nosed people are part of a silent conspiracy of evil.
I think it is time we stop focusing on skin color, and take a real look at facial bone structure and classical eugenics as a way of measuring racial superiority.
If we are going to have a race war, we better make sure to draw the battle lines correctly.

According to this Jewish columnist from the LA Times, the Jews control Hollywood and the news media, as well as the government and financial system. We all already know this, but it is good to see a Jew stand up and admit it in a major newspaper. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/dec/19/opinion/oe-stein19 "I appreciate [Abe] Foxman's concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don't care if Americans think we're running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them." There you have it folks. |

Many Holocaust revisionists point to Jewish support of Hitler (and Stalin) as a reason to deny the "senseless" murder of millions of European "Jews," Gypsies, and Armenians in the early 20th century. I believe they are barking up the wrong tree.
I am Jewish. I was adopted by a Jewish family as a baby. I was circumcized (against my biological mother's wishes). I had a Bar Mitzvah. I was a member of the ZBT fraternity. I was on the inaugural Birthright Israel trip. I spent my entire professional career as a real estate investor and private equity advisor. I personally know several powerful Zionist billionaires. I am as much of a Jew as anyone.
There is a reason Jews supported Hitler: Hitler was right.
I know genocide is a scary concept, but try to look at it this way, if you will. In the early 20th century, Ashkenazi "Jewish" bank scams, media lies, and collective economic terrorism nearly destroyed Europe. Then Hitler and Stalin woke up, repaired their economies, and slaughtered 90% of the European "Jewish" population (excluding the authentic German Jews).
The result was a century of peace and prosperity on the continent. But some survived, reproduced, and a century later their descendants repeated the same atrocious usury and have again brought Europe to it's knees. Not to mention the havoc raged by the phony Satanic "Jews" that fled Europe to America.
Imagine how much better life would be for everyone if Hitler killed them all. Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow.
These animals are not Jews. They are really just a cooperative and educated band of Gypsies (descendants of the Egyptian Pharoah) otherwise known as "The Seed of Amalek." These "people" are a subhuman devil species incapable of the emotion "love."
In exile, they converted to Judaism to shelter themselves from the genocide God commands. The Holy Torah (and Bible, and Koran) commands God's real children to wipe their entire race from existence because they ALWAYS repeat these same crimes against humanity.
It is simply in their DNA, and so long as they are allowed to exist, they will repeat the same atrocities. Today, genocide violates international law, but most men and women understand that God's word supercedes the Geneva Convention.
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who care not who makes the rules. It is Time.
***For educational and discussion purposes only. I do not condone violence or unlawfulness. There are legal and peaceful solutions to the Jewish question. I only intend to spark this very necessary discussion.

I tend to agree with many of the forward-thinking viewpoints that are shared on forums like this. However, I feel there is misinformation being circulated regarding the US national debt. The core question that must be answered: What is the national wealth?
Private wealth in the US is almost $70 trillion. But dig deeper: What is the mineral wealth in our national parkland? What are the Rocky Mountains, Mendocino County, and ANWR worth? What is the aggregate oil wealth in public lands? What is the value of the US military in the jungle of international relations?
I argue that the $18 Trillion national debt pales in comparison to the national wealth of the United States. There is no better example of this than the revenue generated from Obama's successful energy exploration campaign.
When you take a look at the massive swaths of valuable land held by the federal government, it becomes clear that the total federally-owned real estate, oil, minerals, etc. within the borders of the USA could be valued in the quadrillions of dollars.
One thing has become increasingly clear to me: the United States HAS debt, but it is really not IN debt.
The purpose of the Federal Reserve is to govern the people through the money supply. The threat of hyperinflation or deflationary depression is exaggerated. The resource wealth of the United States - as well as the large, rich, taxable population - provides a backstop that keeps our currency strong, even in expansionary environments.
I believe this backstop is far more valuable than prior generations' use of precious metal reserves. I concede gold and silver are more tangible, but defining the national wealth by reserves of scarce metals is nothing more than a form of social brainwashing intended to keep resource-rich Americans feeling poor.
Conspiracy theorists and John Birchers who measure the national debt against gold reserves are engaging in monetary child's play. However, the Federal Reserve's ability to spend the past decade in crisis while hiding the money supply (M3) from the American public is brilliant. A brilliant scam that must come to an end in the United States, as it has in central banks throughout Europe and across the globe.
The strength of the dollar in FOREX markets in the wake of QE3 invalidates many conspiracy theories. As a market student and participant, I believe the dollar is legitimately strong and would remain strong through QE4, QE5, and QE6.
Is it time to end the myth of false scarcity? Is the easy answer - a dramatic increase in the debt ceiling to fund the Small Business Administration, Farm Service Agency, and regional banks - the best path for the US economy?
Recently an interesting statistic was released. The USA has fewer corporations today than 40 years ago, despite having three times as many citizens. If "corporations are people," do we just need more "people?"
Or is a multi-decade Japanese-style depression a better way to break the will of American men, break the daughters of the revolution into prostitution, seize American's weapons, and ultimately rejoin the British Crown and join the New/Old World Order?
I ask that question only half-sarcastically, because that appears to be the the intent of the current world order, and the path the United States is headed. Especially if either Hillary "Forester de Rothschild-RHODam" Clinton, or Jeb "Lehman is now Barclays" Bush are elected president.
This is serious business.
Sure, a new monetary system would be nice. But is a total revolution possible? Perhaps it is time to submit to reality, and finally admit that Reagan was right.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of a new hashtag.
