All of you reading this about Thrive should take note that almost all the so called meat products in Thrive are made from TVP, Testured Vegitable Protein which in turn is made from Soy. May I therefore also reccomend that you read and watch this from Dr. Mercola.

Just about anything I eat these days has been linked to brain damage and cancer (sigh).

"THRIVE"? I'm assuming this is an acronym, and apologies for the ignorance, but could you elaborate?

Shelf Reliance THRIVE Food, mentioned here on iTulip a week or two ago with reference to a special on one of their products at COSTCO.

WASHINGTON — Republicans in the House of Representatives Thursday plan to offer a detailed blueprint for how they’d dramatically change what they term an "arrogant and out of touch government of self-appointed elites” by pledging to repeal and replace the Obama health care law, continue all Bush-era tax cuts and significantly cut spending.

The agenda, scheduled to be unveiled by GOP leaders at a Virginia lumber and hardware store on Thursday, tries to give voters a clear, pointed choice in November. McClatchy obtained a copy Wednesday night.

The “new governing agenda” quickly draws a stark contrast with the Democrats who now control Congress and the White House.

“An unchecked executive, a compliant legislature and an overreaching judiciary have combined to thwart the will of the people and overturn their votes and their values,” the Republican document says, “striking down long-standing laws and institutions and scoring the deepest beliefs of the American people.

“An arrogant and out-of-touch government of self-appointed elites makes decisions, issues mandates, and enacts laws without accepting or requesting the input of the many,” it adds.

I’m beginning to think that the media and government spin on austerity is to guilt the American people into blaming themselves for the massive debts and get them to accept higher taxes, lower public services/benefits, and lower expectations without actually calling it an austerity program. It almost feels like a PR program to get the public to beg for austerity programs, without them even knowing what it is they are asking for.

in other words... we're f*cked?

F'd enough so that the wife and I bought a year's worth of THRIVE to have as an emergency reserve should a short-term panic occur (in such an event, with JIT delivery in the cities, *food* is more important than gold). In time, order would return, but we decided safe rather than sorry and if nothing happens, in five years they are camping rations.

You are asking if I still think the second bounce of the Debt Deflation Bear Market will end before the end of the year. Last year I got the timing of the end of the first bounce wrong by four months. The second bounce is even less deterministic, especially considering it's an election year.

The answer is, I don't know, but I am convinced that the second bounce will end lower than the first, the third lower than the second, and so on until we, as a country, get our act together.

You will hear about spending reductions and austerity as a campaign platform

Re: The committee to destroy the USA - Eric Janszen

if that were the case, why iraq war?

Because of incredible arrogance and hubris? Because "W" never read T.E. Lawrence, or anything else heavier than Reader's Digest?
Because it will pay for itself when Saddam is no longer a threat to Mideast oil supplies? Because "W" is a dumbass?

Take your pick. I choose all four, and there are probably more.

EJ,

I'm very interested in hearing more about how a 'near miss' might go.

Thanks for the thread,

"economic principle" is correct.
"principle plus interest" should be "principal plus interest".

In any case, thanks for the great work!

EJ, you said within the last few months that you foresaw a Dow as high as 11,000 then falling to as low as 7,000 to 8,000 by the end of 2010. Do you still see this range?

Will someone define the "ka" and the "Poom" in simple terms i.e. prices going up or down ? Thanks

First of all it seems to be Ka Ka Ka Poom. Still wainting impatiently for the Poom. Metal you want to take this?

Perhaps it will help if you think of the two as ka is the screech of the brakes and tyres as the vehicle tries to stop before it hits the brick wall; and the Poom is the "Crash - Bang" when it does.
