Pump and Dump: The Intentional Bankrupting of the U.S. (Part II)

by FiveBoxes Staff

As we outlined in Part I, there are powers at work that are trying to bankrupt the United States. (And if you haven’t read that piece, we recommend that you do for background purposes.)

We believe that the economic roller coaster of the past few years has been an intentional effort on the part of various Progressives to use the free market system against itself. They know how the free market system works, they know that the free market system does, in fact, work, and they are using free market principles against the free market in an effort to bring it down.

The current stock market prices defy all logic. Unemployment is officially over 10%, and in some areas of America it’s double that. Consumer spending is down. Yet stocks are on the rise? There is no reason that stocks should be as high as they are, especially stocks of companies making consumer goods. If you ignore the statements by the White House and the mainstream media that “we have turned the corner” and “the economy is on the rebound”, look deeper. Look at the unemployment rates. Look at the ads on TV that are pitching products as ways to save money. Look at the stores that are going out of business and the remaining stores that are positioning themselves to try harder then ever to get your business. Look at the uptick in telemarketers selling “extended auto warranties” and the increasing number ads encouraging you to keep your older car and change your own oil to save money. Look at the headlines saying that advertising sales are down… There’s no better indicator on the state of the economy than looking at the advertising market.

Look around you… pay attention. The economy is still heading south, and there’s no rebound any time soon. That is the reality.

Listen to the White House and the parrots in the media tell you the opposite.

What is going on here?

Weekend Reader 3-19-2010 – Preempted by an urgent call to action

Readers:
Normally our Friday update contains bits of political news and our sarcastic commentary. This week we are skipping all the fluff and getting right to the heart of the matter: The healthcare bill that is in the US House of Representatives is the most important thing going on right now. It represents the future [...]

Common Sense Suggestions

The nuclear option – mutually assured destruction.

by FiveBoxes Staff

Back during the Cold War, there was lots of talk of “Mutually Assured Destruction”: if you launch your nukes, we’ll launch our nukes, and we all die. It’s ironic then, that there’s lots of talk about the so-called “nuclear option” in Congress with regards to how Obama and the Democrats want to force the healthcare bill down our throats. We would like to remind Obama and Congress that “We the People” possess our own nuclear option: secession.

The United States is a Republic. We are a union of states. Without opening the can-o-worms that is the Civil War, (a.k.a. “the War of Northern Aggression”, “the War Between States”, etc), the States do indeed have the right to secede from the Union.

So let’s imagine this: All 50 States agree that on the same date, every State formally secedes from the United States of America.
