Iran now a nulear power!

Early Saturday morning, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian 'president', has declared that Iran is now a nuclear and space power. it became a 'space power' when it launched into orbit a research satellite early February. He admitted that if we directly intervened in his space and nuclear programs then it would not have been possible. Personally,if i was in power of any government, i would have rallied to directly intervened to prevent Iranian control. Now it is too late, Iran is a nuclear power capable of hitting both Israel and most of the western world.

More comments in his speech was a reassurance that the peaceful actions of the UN and Americans were all in vain. What we need to do now is to literally invade Iran and destroy these weapons (sorry i mean dispose), and imprison anyone who were essential in making the nuclear bombs and the ballistic missile technology. At our current power, we can invade Iran on three sides. and since most of the actual nuclear sites are closer to Iraq it would be much easier to invade primarily through iraq.

Overall we would keep most of the current infrastructure in place (since it is mostly democratic) but slightly re-write their constitution to guarantee opposition parties a voice. The main difference of many other nations is the right to free speech, and almost no one other than America (and possibly Israel) has that basic right to question the government, if only people had the free speech that we do, then civil wars and general populous discontent would be at a much lower level. Not to mention that everywhere would be a more conservative place full of debates on what the consequences are of any 'change' that may happen

Obama Denies 'Russian Deal'

The past few days I have seen many reports on a suggested missile defence plan for former soviet states to be scrapped to gather support for Russia to pressure Iran to prevent them from getting a nuclear bomb. Of course this is an INSANE move. Obama, now proving to be anti-Israel despite the support that many people had for it's right to exist which Hamas, the ruling party in Gaza, denies. Personally i believe we should sell this pure defensive weapon, a solid missile which destroys any missile completely (though not tested on a nuclear missile would undoubtedly produce the same results temporaraly until the many nations confinsate nuclear materials). All we need to do is set up these defence systems, which are operational (see the show future weapons for the proof that they are tried and true methods of shooting down rockets).

Now, Obama claims that he does not think that the reports were correct for what was inside the letter. This contradicts what the Russian president has said, claiming to be unwilling to 'hale' when it comes to issues on Iran. Why is that? Wouldn't Russia have everything to gain from a politically destroyed Iran as it has from Iraq (such as an increased oil price?). The answer is no, Russia, a now (re)growing power in europe/asia, is in need of allies, strong allies who place themselves against the US and the western civilized world. The biggest enemies of ours come from a extremist (also Islamic) group of terrorist organizations which also run the government of various countries. The most prominent of these is Iran, who's influence has exponentally grown in the area since the fall of Sadam Hussien's Dictatorship.

So why shouldn't we start towards a new cold war? the Russians are covertly setting it's trap, while we (sorry, I mean Obama) ignore what CIA reports about growing Russian power. What we need to do now is to head them off and place these proven and effective anti-ballistic missiles in key locations like Iraq, Iran and our NATO ally's territories before it is too late.

Below is a Politico Video to Obama's conference with Prime Minister Brown (Prime minister of Great Britain) where he talks about what he meant, but he also talks A LOT about the economy.



Housing crisis takes a new step downward

Today, March 3rd, January reports from the NAR of home sales DROPPED 7.7% to 80.4, the lowest since 2001, where pending home sales went down 6.4%. This was double what economists were predicting. But what are we supposed to do about this? Well, Obama and congress is planning to buy mortgages from bad banks based on the troubled assets relief program (the abandoned TARP program that originally was conceived by Geitner in the last quarter of last year). So what should we do? wait? No, what we need to do is A. stop trying to buy off these mortgages which people don't want, let the fail if the people took out loans they 1, didn't know what would happen if they took out these loans, or 2, knew what would happen and took it out anyways. The next step we should do is encourage people to buy up foreclosed homes and fix them up. Why do i sugest that? Because many people know that this is a VERY profitable trade and not only does it improve the forclosed home's value, it gets rid of the problems of the houses AROUND the now previously foreclosed houses.

So how do we get around doing this? How about we cut the property taxes, if we get rid of the tax i'm sure we'll save thousands on every home. This would also reduce the crime rate as many foreclosed homes are broken into (one funny story where a foreclosed house was broken into and a party broke out, was heard last week). As long as there are people wanting to buy (a massive amount of people who buy the foreclosed houses and re-sell them are sure to find other people who want to buy them, like their workers?) this 'bubble' will be stable, and not only that but this would get 'credit' flowing again, as the housing crisis was the cause of the credit freeze. This is essentially a cure-all for all of the root problems of the current economic climate. Now that is climate change

Taxes just don't count for Obama

On March 2ed, while the north east is buried under at least a half foot of snow, Barrack Obama has yet another person in his nominees that has had tax paying problems. Former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk failed to pay almost $10,000 in back taxes, on basketball tickets (that's a lot of games to see), of course this guy is supposed to be the TRADE representative nominee. Though this is the fifth time this has happened, the white house STILL wants this man to be in. This is after the problems of Geitner, Dachle, Nancy Killefer (for a token position), Hilda Solis (Secretary of Labor), and of course other non-tax-related problems. This man doesn't get it that paying taxes are 'patriotic' and that it's also something you want to keep clear in case

Let's compare the stumbling fool George Bush to President Obama. Bush's first term breed only one problem with his nominees. Bush's one problem was Linda Chavez, Nominee for Labor Secretary (now a columnist for Townhall.com), who 'employed' an illegal Guatemalan immigrant by giving her a house and money to live in. Quite unbefitting for a labor secretary. Of course low and behold Tom Dachle provided a lot of criticism calling it insane for a labor secretary to, knowingly or not, hire an illegal immigrant, though I still believe that what the record for everyone else during his first term.

In comparison, Bush's appointments were a nothing compared to what Obama's appointments have looked liked. Bill Richardson withdrew himself because he was honorable and stepped down when some vague connections to a federal investigation was shown. Judd Greg removed his name just because party lines didn't stretch that far left for him. And of course Hillary who, though technically not eligible nor was she without fault, through her husband's charity. And of course there are the big four (now five) who have had their tax problems. Geitner didn't pay almost $35,000 in self-employment taxes as he was being confirmed as treasury secretary. Tom Dachle, who was paid almost 16 million for listening to health care lobbyists, as well as some, failed back tax records. Hilda Solis who faced questions on her husband’s business taxes, as well as Nancy Killefer who withdrew over some vague tax issues.

Why do I bring this up? Well for one to point out that though bush was an idiot when it came to many things, at least he controlled himself when he tried to pick friends and enemies for his cabinet positions, making sure that his bill was clean as far as he could figure while Obama made mistakes that are beyond amateur and showed just how unprepared he was for this office.

Inflation and it's effects

Inflation is a major problem for this upcoming administration, already about 800 billion dollars alone have been proposed by President Obama to be injected into the economy, or rather his favorite peoples and causes, this is all just from Obama and does not count the 'tax cuts' included in the stimulus act. Not to mention the Billions that Paulson mark 2 is going to use for his friends on Wall Street.

But what is inflation? Well, inflation is the increase in monetary currency. In pure theoretical terms this wouldn't be a problem. However, inflation doesn't go and increase all the prices across the board immediately, some prices go up before others, depending on the placement of the inflation and where is goes first, only later balancing out. Why is this bad? It fools entrepreneurs in how they invest and where. Entrepreneurs are one of the main engines of the economy and if there aren’t more of them at each and every turn, the economy would slow to a depression.

Now, the problems of a paper-backed currency is that, while it doesn’t have a limit to how much can be printed (unlike currencies that are backed by silver, the standard before we were taken off the standard), is that inflation can occur VERY easily and almost never stops. That’s why everyone has to be careful about inflation and where money goes.

Finally, What president Obama has been doing with all the bailouts is removing the actual social Darwinian function of the market as Paulson has done (I blame the ‘Bush Bailouts’ on Paulson, not Bush, Bush was too stupid to think things through and Paulson is a Keynesian who wanted to give parachutes to his friends on wall street). Now we have Obama and many economists (also Keynesian, not Monetarists) who say that big government is the only way we would get out of this.



Sorry about how rant-like this sounds, but this is a blog, and I did put information in here, though if you are smart or experienced, this wouldn’t matter as you would know this already. Also sorry for the horrible update rate... hopefully I'll make sure that i can update more, my spring break will be a major updating of the blog, as it's a week off and i don't have anything to do
