From the Bordering on Fringe Collection:
Guns & Ammo - shortages of ammunition persist - in particular 9mm ammunition - across the States. Whether shopping Wal-Mart or Cabelas (an outdoorsman outfitter chain) or a local gun shop, 9mm is mighty hard to find. Shotgun shells are fairly bountiful yet, but there is a massive shortage surrounding 9mm and more common rounds used by assault weapons. As mentioned previously, it appears that the anti-gun lobbyists (unable to accomplish an assault weapons ban) are now targeting ammunition used by said weapons. See this article here: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92095 - this news source is relatively fringe in terms of content focus, though not tabloid-esque.
I recently visited one of the local outfitters and asked the folks at the gun counter how business was - they reported that it continues to be very to extremely swift... both in new/used gun purchases and ammunition - hard-to-finds in terms of weapons are, of course, more traditional assault rifles and 9mm handguns - as such, I am told people are shifting to smaller "tactical weapons" (short carbines, etc.).
From the almost, but not quite, Kingdom of Nigh (pretty out there stuff) Collection:
The Pending Pandemic - always fun to mull over - the next major Pandemic - AIDS does't really count, now that the legions of afflicted in the Western World can be preserved for some time through pharma-coctails - re: Magic Johnson - although we have hit a Centers for Disease Control figure of >3% in the DC Metropolitan Area. The rates in Africa are terribly high, but again, now that the West can band-aid it it seems to have lost its immediacy in the minds of the proletariat and bourgeoisie (as well as the ruling elite). So that leaves us with Bird Flu - http://rense.com/general85/dsd2.htm - now if'n you believe even for a second that there is some sort of global manipulation going on in the affairs of Man, then this will shiver your spine - on the other hand, if you believe corruption stops at the UN and other supra-national organizations, then this is just more lunacy.

Of FEMA Camps, Cuban Missle Crisis Deux, Stagflation, Chinese Repomen, Ammo Shortages, and other Obamanations
I find it interesting to track all manner of media, whether "fringe" or mainstream. And in so doing, it is pretty neat to note when one spills over to the other, or bubbles up (or out), depending on how you see it.
Anyway, for the sake of content, I provide the following hap-hazard list of themes out among the sites I frequent for news, News, or NEWS.
1) we have our first Halfrican-American, bona fide hyphenated President. Yet, is he truly a native son of los estados unidos? The sticky questions surrounding his legitimacy is not going to go away soon. One wonders why Hawaii just doesn't make his birth certificate available.
2) many have stated, quite incorrectly, that El Presidente is just like another JFK. Of course, any student of history can shoot down this comparison, but it is pervasive. The comparison holds, however, with respect to his rapid ascendancy and the fact that the Russians are going to park bombers in Cuba again.
3) Stagflation is a bitch. Shit economy... with massive influx of dollars will result in this. I am still saying the Dow bottoms out at 5500 and unemployment (now at 8%) will reach 15%. The Summer of Hell is upon us.
4) FEMA Camps - urban legend... or reality? Google it. It's at least spooky to think about the not-so-wonderful reasons why we have so many across the States.
5) Chinese Repo Men - I postulated last Summer to my neighbor that eventually the Chinese would use their financial leverage of our leverage against us. How this will shape up is interesting. What I do know is that we will be seeing red one way or another. My gut check tells me the Chinese have been waiting a very long time to flog the old US of A. Pretty much game-set-match on this. How will they collect their assets, one wonder aloud.
6) Google "US Ammunition Shortages" or check out some of the on-line gun and ammunition shops. Pay particular attention to how much of the stuff is out of stock. Since Obama's election, Gun sales in the US have grown some 10-fold. The thinking is either buy them while you can... or I wanna make sure when it comes time for squatters rights to replace the social contract, better to go out shooting than to be rounded up without a shot being fired. Which returns some minds to FEMA Camps.
Time to kiss our asses goodbye, me thinks. Who will carry the flag?

Royal Prerogative
Honours for a Coward
Oh Mary Jo he let you down;
Oh Mary Jo he let you drown.
And now he goes to London Town
For honours from the British Crown?
For services to Gordon Brown?
Her Majesty should not agree
To this egregious travesty.
She simply must not let it be.
No KBE for cowardly
Edward Moron Kennedy!

Easing the way to recovery
Sky News Money Panel has advised the Bank of England to indulge in a little "quantitive easing" to help counteract the global slump, by printing £150bn or so worth of readies for circulation among the hoi polloi to enable us to buy goods and services and thereby kick-start the economy - click on caption for the article in question.
When some gifted members of the International Brotherhood of Forgers and Paperhangers, that I once encountered during my erstwhile official duties a few decades ago, did something similar through the means of private enterprise, artistic skills and an adapted printing press, they definitely created some monetary fluidity - something of a boom for a while in fact. However the subsequent bust - theirs - resulted in the architects of that recovery plan receiving between 10 and 15years porridge for their public spiritedness.
When private entrepreneurs do it, it's called forgery, uttering forged currency and conspiracy to defraud. When governments do it, that's called 'quantitive easing' apparently, even if they run countries that are bankrupt. The crooks of the Hungarian Circle conspiracy of whom I speak, were probably a lot less evil than those involved in the current official global scams. In fact I am led to believe that one or two of them were hired from time to time after their release, to surreptitiously advise certain members of governments on how to 'paperhang' and where to invest their own personal cuts from the proceeds. All pro bono publico, of course. It's a funny old world. I'm off to Ebay now to see whether I can pick up an old printing press. There's some quantitive easing to be done, my parlour needs papering and I would like to ease poverty throughout the world, particularly in my neck of the woods.
