They Would Be Murdered Twice If We Remained Silent
Last night, from flower-strewn streets near the blood-spattered site where 12 Charlie Hebdo journalists were massacred Wednesday by a cold-blooded, hate-spewing Muslim War Machine, CNN's Anderson Cooper reported a story we're not getting here in the U.S., namely this menacing trail of small, "isolated" civilian assassinations spreading through places like France and Australia and Afghanistan and Syria and Iraq, so often under the broad, videotaped direction of masked jihadists in Syria and Iraq, the ominous extent of which is held under world radar by the relatively inconsequential nature of "infidels" (us) getting slain one or two at a time. Even Anderson didn't grab hold of this horror and run with the consequences to us all. Apparently, unless Muslims present the media with a bona fide crime scene of actual mass murder, the perps aren't being fingered as vile, murdering, militarized scum. As a result, the extent of this war has been understated to an astonishing degree, at least on our shores.
To all watching Anderson's effort, the point should be perfectly clear. We've got to marshall our troops and destroy the enemy. That foe is Muslim, and he must die by our hand.
The next issue of Charlie Hebdo is already in the works. "They would be murdered twice," one disturbingly unglued survivor vowed, remembering his slain colleagues, "if we remained silent." One would hope his fervor will serve as a lesson to us all.
Come on, Lets Put the Horse before the Cart
Here's a piece seemingly assuming that big-time oil trading houses, once again storing bargain-priced crude in tankers, are taking advantage of the crash in that commodity, a take counterintuitive to what in all likelihood has these thieving pigs trashing quotes to begin with, grabbing obscene windfalls first on the short side and now the long. The media version, somehow blaming the Saudis without addressing market manipulation by crime family crews, initially came across as falderal and now makes absolutely no sense at all:

The Godot Economy
As Wikipedia sort of puts it, Beckett's "Waiting for Godot is an absurdist play ... in which ... characters wait endlessly and in vain for the arrival of someone named Godot".
And so, when David Stockman posits that we have "a world economy driven by money printing central bankers ... a giant credit bubble that is ... fracturing ... but now, surely, comes their downfall", that last thing having been anticipated by pretty much everyone on the planet for years now, one can't help wondering how we all got caught up in this sordid neo-absurdist economics drama.
His latest piece, located at the link below, adds Wall Street into the mix in an entertaining, if fanciful, way, along with a heaping spoonful of emerging market ramifications; Reagan jocks will want to stay in the loop, and it wouldn't hurt the rest of you to wait endlessly and in vain a little too:

Press Release Re: Almost Relocated
Pancho's Crossing, Arizona
Jan 1, 2015
Your staff is pleased to announce that Global Headquarters has been temporarily established hereabouts while MacDougal undertakes our permanent relocation. Some corporate stuff got brought in from the pick-up, and the rest is setting out by the garage if we've any need of it, so perspicacities will be getting blogged just fine this-a-way until the final move happens.
Happy New Year too.
- Guns MacDonald, Chief of Security, The MacDougal Post
It's Settled, Greenhouse Gas Twaddle Really Is a Crock
Turns out, "scientists" claiming the environment is doomed unless we adopt a political stance making Al Gore and them filthy rich didn't do their homework. "Until our analysis," definitively concludes one actually learned dude who's finally done his, "no one had successfully completed a global reconciliation of information about carbon effects from the atmospheric, forestry, and modeling communities."
The result? Well, the environment's just fine. The way it is. And since proponents of Al's hogwash claimed the entire "scientific" community stood behind it, the MacDougal Post calls for academia to clean house. The immediate resignation of pretty much everyone there would seem appropriate.
