Detroit is coming to a city near you -Source

Detroit's bankruptcy is about numbers: a 26 percent drop in population since 2000, 78,000 abandoned properties, $10 billion in underfunded pension and health care obligations for public employees and billions more in bond and other debt that make it impossible to pay for adequate city services.
But the real bankruptcy is moral and intellectual – and it affects not only Detroit but almost all of America's greatest cities and most states. Type "pension tsunami" into a search engine, read and weep. You'll see that Detroit's issues are only slightly worse than other cities and states around the nation, with balance sheets dragged down by legacy costs and ballooning debt.
A study released earlier this year commissioned by the city of Baltimore, for example, said it is on a path to financial ruin and requires major reforms to avoid bankruptcy. And according to a Pew Center on the States report this year on 30 cities in the most populous metropolitan areas, they have "74 percent of the money needed to fully fund their pension plans over the long run but only 7.4 percent of what was necessary to cover their retiree health care liabilities as of fiscal 2009, the latest year with data available for all pension plans of all 30 cities."
And Detroit isn't even in the worst shape on health care costs – some of the largest expenses faced by each jurisdiction in the country -- according to the report. In terms of underfunding per household, New York ($22,857) and Boston ($18,962) are both worse off. Detroit ($15,682) was third worst, with San Francisco ($13,487) and Baltimore ($10,208) rounding out the top five.
The treasuries of state and local governments, which have $3 trillion in unfunded pension liabilities to public employees, weren’t clobbered by the recession. As Frank Keegan wrote for State Budget Solutions in December 2012, General Revenues in all the states as of 2011 were up $590 billion, or 56 percent, over the previous 10 years despite the recession, according to his analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.
Neither were their elected leaders misled by erroneous fiscal reports – if anything, they tried to mislead the public, and still do, with overly optimistic investment rates of return that allowed them to shortchange pension funds. The problem was that elected officials acted like a herd of intellectual lemmings, choosing not to accept facts that did not correspond to their worldview of ever expanding government.
They built convention centers and hotels for those convention centers and subsidized expensive condos and other real estate projects that either never met financial expectations or failed. Worse, they also padded pension and health care benefits for public workers without the means to pay for them. And to make up for the revenue that failed to materialize from those projects, they raised taxes over and over again, often so high that people started trickling out until one day there were more takers than makers and all the people who championed those causes had failed up the food chain to higher office or lucrative private sector jobs that depended on taxpayer dollars.
That intersection of folly and an empty checkbook is where a lot of governments stand today. Detroit just happens to be in the worst shape. The only way to start fixing the problem is if more elected officials act like Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. The Democrat should be praised for commissioning the study noted above that laid out reforms necessary for the city to thrive and for promoting an economic agenda to make it happen. Bankruptcy just didn't happen to Detroit. It was a choice. And it will be the choice of more municipalities unless elected officials around the country fight the "gimme" culture whose manifestation can now be seen in the 58-minute wait time for police in Detroit, in its broken lights, its lawless streets and thousands of vacant, crumbling homes.

Much of Pope's message ignored by lame stream media as matter of "National Security"
---
The main (lame) stream media for the most part tried to ignore the most important part of Pope Francis' message in Brazil. Though in many cases it exists in the headline "Pope urges Catholic faithful to shun materialism" the body of the article ignores that message in favor of focusing instead on drug abuse.
Why would the establishment / corporate media attempt to ignore the message to "shun materialism"?
Because the United States #economy, as well as much of the rest of the world, DEPEND heavily on unabated consumerism and the accumulation of ever more #debt to survive [hence the lust for those Chinese consumers]. Like it or not our bogus, strictly debt based, #fiat manipulated, economy depends on the debt slavery / serfdom of the many to benefit the few.
---
Definitions of #consumerism on the Web:
the theory that an increasing consumption of goods is economically beneficial
Consumerism is the equation of personal happiness with consumption and the purchase of material possessions
---
I have written pretty extensively on the evils of consumerism two of which can be seen here and here.
And here is one article I found which gives a bit more attention to this important message.
---
RIO DE JANEIRO — Hundreds of thousands of Roman Catholics packed Rio's Copacabana Beach on an unseasonably cool and stormy night for an encounter with Pope Francis, who again implored the masses to turn toward faith instead of materialism, a recurring theme of his week-long visit to Brazil for World Youth Day.
"Possessions, money and monetary power can give a momentary thrill, the illusion of being happy, but they end up possessing us and making us always want to have more," Francis told the crowd.

Please, beware the seven deadly sins, they are very real indeed..

Prepping [US!] for the next financial #crisis #Banks -commentary
---
Washington & Wall Street remain way behind in the f'ing GAME! #They still think they can use fear to manipulate the entire f'ing population in any way they like. Stampede the f'ing HERD!
The SIMPLEST #solution here is for EVERYONE to REMOVE ALL your worthless f'ing manipulated FIAT from the banks! Especially the [now even far bigger than before!] BIG banks!
Turn your back on the status quo BS system! We don't NEED them anymore! They [#government, #politicians, #corporations, #political PARTIES] are all obsolete! Delete them & live your life the way God intended from the beginning! Simple & full of the true pleasures of life! God has provided for all the needs of #humanity throughout history. USE THEM! Resources are a GIFT from God! Money is a LIE from man! The monetary system is DESIGNED to be an easy way for #government & corporations to #steal your fiat!
Everything we need ALREADY EXISTS!
Humanity has no NEED of governments who only seek to limit & control all resources!
IMHO the NEXT [unexpected my ASS!] crisis will be due to cyber warfare..
IGNORE the idiots!

U.S. banks brace for cyberattacks with security drill -Source
Financial firms, feds will join in 'Quantum Dawn 2' drill
It’s a war game, Wall Street-style.
Banks large and small are girding for an elaborate drill this week that will test how they would fare if hackers unleashed a powerful and coordinated attack against them.
The exercise is being called “Quantum Dawn 2,” and though the name sounds like a video game, it’s meant to convey the seriousness of the threat.
Cyberattacks on the banking industry are growing more frequent and sophisticated, and the list of assailants is ever-changing: crime bosses who want money, “hacktivists” who want to make political statements, foreign governments that want to spy on U.S. companies. A successful, widespread attack on the industry would shake confidence in the banking system, and the possibility has banks and regulators on edge.
More dangerous
Jamie Dimon, CEO of the country’s biggest bank, JPMorgan Chase, acknowledged that attacks are becoming more complex and dangerous, no longer carried out by “fairly simplistic” hackers commandeering people’s personal computers.
“Now you’re talking about state-sanctioned folks, hundreds of programmers,” he said in a call with reporters this spring, “taking over not just PCs but servers and mainframes.”
JPMorgan and its peers like Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo have signed up for Thursday’s drill, which is being organized by Wall Street’s biggest trade group, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.
About 50 banks and organizations will participate, including government agencies like the Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FBI.
Here's the drill
During the drill, bank employees will be stationed at their normal offices, and will be blasted throughout the day with bits of information that could indicate an encroaching hacker attack. They’ll monitor a simulated stock exchange for irregular trading and will be pressed to figure out what’s going on and how to react while sharing information with regulators and each other.
As the name suggests, this isn’t the first Quantum Dawn. The original drill was in November 2011 and attracted scant attention and only about half as many participants. But that was before a wave of cyberattacks last fall, when big banks were forced to temporarily shut down websites after attackers bombarded them with traffic.
At that time, banks probably wouldn’t have listed cyberattacks among their top five risks, said Karl Schimmeck, SIFMA’s vice president for financial services operations. Now, he said, the calculation has changed.
• The barrage: Software giant Symantec calculates that cyberattacks against U.S. businesses jumped 42 percent last year. Banks, though, are reluctant to give more details about how they’re affected, financially or otherwise, for fear of becoming a target, and attacks often go undetected and unreported.
• High alert: Whatever the number, banks and the government are on high alert. President Barack Obama warned about international hacking against the banking industry in February’s State of the Union address. He later met with JPMorgan CEO Dimon, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and other business leaders to discuss the threat.
Big banks have started listing cyberattacks as a potential risk factor in filings for regulators and investors. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks, recently held a call with community bankers to warn them that they’re not free from danger either: Since September, attacks have been increasingly aimed at businesses with fewer than 250 employees, the OCC says.
• Impossible victory? Banks realize the threat isn’t going away. If anything, the possibility of an online attack will grow as customers do more transactions online and banks outsource operations to other companies whose systems might not be as secure.
Says Greg Garcia, a former DHS official who now runs the consulting firm Garcia Cyber Partners: “If someone asks, ‘When are you going to stop cybercrime?’ Well, when are you going to stop crime?”
• Your money: The banks downplay the risk of hackers tapping into any individual customer’s account. For most, that will never happen, the banks say, and even if it did, the customer wouldn’t be responsible. Customers would have to go through certain steps to get their money back, like filing a claim, showing that they weren’t negligently tossing their account information around and giving the bank time to investigate. But federal regulations protect retail customers from being held accountable when money is removed from their accounts without permission.
• A drill by any other name: As for the title of Thursday’s drill — the one that sounds more appropriate for an action movie than a bank security exercise — it came about during the creation of the original drill in 2011, which was organized by the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council.
National security staff at the White House wanted exercises to have names, preferably with two words. According to the FSSCC, a federal government official who was involved in the planning suggested the title after noticing some media reports about the dawn of quantum computing.
Schimmeck points out that a similar exercise in Britain had a title at least as curious: It was called “Waking Shark.”

GOP wants delay in health law's individual mandate
---
Yeah sure you act like this now.. Where were you when this crap was going down? It's obviously an unconstitutional law regardless of what the compromised @USSupremeCourt says.
It's obvious that this law is a ONE PARTY BIPARTISAN law designed as a backdoor #bailout of "suffering" insurance companies.
Personally I would rather see ALL insurance disappear! Before 1920's NO ONE had health insurance! How did we possibly survive? You have used insurance to help inflate another bubble period..
Look at some HISTORY!
In his 2001 book Oxymorons, medical economist J.D. Kleinke described U.S. health care this
way: “A group of highly imaginative, energetic people armed with the world’s largest Markin-Wipe board could not purposefully design a more complex, dysfunctional system if they tried."
In your opinion is this f'ed up F.I.R.E. economy worth destroying America over? You can't save it because it is corrupt BS. Just like our government. All that matters to you people, all of you, is FIAT, not Americans citizens, not anything else.
Your #time has come and gone.. YOU are obsolete.. get over it.

Framing a new argument against President Barack Obama's health care law, congressional GOP leaders called Tuesday for a delay in the law's requirement that individual Americans carry health insurance.

WASHINGTON —
Framing a new argument against President Barack Obama's health care law, congressional GOP leaders called Tuesday for a delay in the law's requirement that individual Americans carry health insurance.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other senior Republicans told Obama in a letter that his decision last week to grant a one-year delay for employers but leave in place provisions for individuals and families had created many new questions and concerns.
At a Capitol Hill news conference, Boehner vowed to hold another vote this month to remove the individual mandate, arguing that it was necessary to "correct this injustice."
"If businesses can get relief from Obamacare, the rest of America ought to be able to get relief as well," Boehner told reporters. He later added, "We'll have another vote, count on it."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., called Obama's move last week "stunning."
"I never thought I'd see the day when the White House and the president came down on the side of big business but left the American people out in the cold," Cantor said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration has no intention of delaying the individual mandate. He said the law provides financial aid to low-income Americans and is flexible so that people facing financial hardships aren't punished for going without coverage.
The criticism from top Republicans, Carney said, is "pretty rich coming from leaders who have now voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act going on 40 times, and who promised to do it again, to charge up that hill, only again not to reach the top, rather than focus on the work that the American people want done because they have no alternative."
Asked whether public confidence in the law could be eroded by delays and by the change in the smoking provision, Carney said, "A piece of legislation like this, to be responsibly implemented, needs to be implemented in a flexible way."
Nonetheless, Republicans hope their new argument will gain traction in next year's congressional elections, as the law's big push to cover the uninsured gets underway. Foes are betting the coverage rollout will be full of problems, particularly since about half the states have refused to support the federal effort.
Under the law, middle-class people with no access to job-based coverage will be eligible for subsidized private insurance, while low-income uninsured people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it.
The health care law contains coverage requirements for individuals as well as companies with 50 or more workers. Both requirements were originally scheduled to take effect next Jan. 1.
Last week, the White House unexpectedly announced a one-year delay in the employer requirement, saying the administration needed more time to work out technical details that employers find too burdensome. Some saw a political motive, since Republicans have criticized the requirement on businesses as a "job killer."
But administration officials said that the individual mandate would remain in place.
The two requirements are different. While the mandate on individuals is expected to play a major role in getting people to sign up for coverage, the employer requirement is more of a backstop, designed to deter companies from shifting to the government their traditional role in providing health benefits.
The individual mandate applies to virtually every U.S. resident, with exceptions for financial hardship, people who entered the country illegally, and prison inmates. The coverage requirement survived a determined legal challenge by opponents of the health care law. A divided Supreme Court upheld the mandate last year, reasoning that the penalties which enforce it are taxes constitutionally levied by Congress.
Those individual penalties start small - as little as $95 next year - but they build up with time. The Congressional Budget Office estimated last year some 4 million individuals without insurance will pay about $55 billion in penalties over the course of nearly a decade. The overwhelming majority of Americans already have coverage - through an employer, a government program, or by buying their own plan - and will not have to worry about the fines.
The GOP leaders' letter also requested that the administration provide detailed information on the impact of its decision to delay the employer mandate.

And yet, even with the "fantastic news" that "more Americans are putting themselves further in debt" the @FederalReserve still refuses to stop manipulating the entire economy.. Seriously, what does this indicate? That things may not be as they seem?

WASHINGTON — Americans increased their borrowing in May at the fastest pace in a year. Borrowing in the category that includes credit cards reached its highest point since the fall of 2010.
Increased borrowing typically means that consumers are feeling more confident.
Americans stepped up their borrowing by $19.6 billion in May compared with April, the Federal Reserve said Monday in its monthly report on consumer credit. That was the biggest jump since a $19.9 billion rise in May 2012.
Total borrowing reached a record $2.84 trillion.
The category that includes credit card use rose $6.6 billion, also the largest gain in a year. Credit card debt reached $847.1 billion, the most since September 2010. Credit card debt remains about 16 percent below its high of $1.02 trillion in July 2008 – just before the financial crisis erupted.
Borrowing for autos and student loans rose $13 billion in May. That was the sharpest increase since February. This category of borrowing has been rising especially fast, driven by loans to pay for college.
The Federal Reserve's consumer credit report does not separate student loans from auto loans. But data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York show that student loan debt has been the biggest driver of borrowing since the Great Recession officially ended. In part, that's because some unemployed Americans have returned to school for training in hopes of landing a job.
More credit card borrowing could help boost consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. But some consumers have been hesitant to run up high-interest debt since the recession ended. Some economists say many Americans remain cautious because higher Social Security taxes this year have reduced paychecks for most.
Despite the jump in credit card debt in May, consumers aren't likely to increase their card use to pre-recession levels, said Cooper Howes, an economist at Barclays Research. Credit card debt is known as revolving credit.
"We expect the trends of student loan-driven expansion ... and only small changes in revolving credit to continue in coming months," Howes said.
The measure of card debt in the Fed's report has risen $15.8 billion this year. That compares with annual increases of $25 billion to $50 billion in credit card debt before the Great Recession, which officially began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009.
Rising home prices and steady job growth have helped offset any damage to the U.S. economy from the higher Social Security tax.
Employers added 195,000 jobs in June and many more in April and May than previously thought, the government said Friday. Pay was also up sharply. Over the past 12 months, pay has risen 2.2 percent while consumer prices have increased 1.4 percent.
Consumers boosted their spending from January through March but reduced the pace of their savings to finance it. After-tax income dropped in the first quarter.
That decline reflected, in part, the increased Social Security tax that took effect Jan. 1. A person earning $50,000 a year has about $1,000 less to spend this year. A household with two highly paid workers has up to $4,500 less.
The economy grew at an annual rate of only 1.8 percent in the January-March quarter. Many economists have forecast that growth in the April-June quarter will weaken further to around 1.5 percent. But they think the economy will rebound somewhat in the second half of this year as stronger employment growth fuels more consumer spending.
The Federal Reserve's borrowing report covers auto loans, student loans and credit cards. It excludes mortgages, home equity loans and other loans related to real estate.
And yet, even with the "fantastic news" that "more Americans are putting themselves further in debt" the @FederalReserve still refuses to stop manipulating the entire economy.. Seriously, what does this indicate? That things may not be as they seem?

Promise, not bragging but..
Left out one more unexpected #blessing that came with the place..
We now live within a couple miles of Downstream Casino
Turns out they have an outdoor concert area and are drawing some pretty good names..
Last week, the evening of July 5th, we sat at our table in the front yard and listened to Willy Nelson live while imbibing, sipping a little wine and relaxing. The concert was followed by a pretty spectacular 25 minute fireworks display to boot.
Looks like we will be getting maybe 6 to 8 free live outdoor concerts per summer that can easily be heard seated in our front yard ;)
Looking forward to Peter Frampton next (Do you feel like we do?)

Update: #God, #prayer, country living, satellite internet, #news and #trading

I continue to be quite amazed (and those of you who know me know I'm not easily amazed lol).
Amazed by what? My prayer experiment.. (As first blogged here)
Since that post, and this one with pics of the new yard, good things continue to happen.
Since then I have stumbled into a free riding mower (that I have yet to pick up) and a bunch on free cinder blocks (ditto, not yet picked up) which I intend to build a burn pit with.
Living in the country requires some lifestyle changes. There is SO MUCH to do! Most days I end up sore and tired by the end of the day. However, thankfully there is a lot of instant gratification involved as the property takes shape. And I still thank God pretty much all day, everyday, for the wonderful opportunities He has given me.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
King James Version (KJV)
17 Pray without ceasing.
To me, personally, and I'm certainly not "ordained" or anything lol, "Pray without ceasing" simply means to be forever grateful to God in your heart.
Still dealing with this limited internet access model.. At the moment restricted to 10 gigabytes bandwidth per month.. We had cable for 37 years and before the move I downloaded some software, checked and discovered that using the internet with no changes I was using somewhere around 150 gigabytes of bandwidth per month. So, needless to say, dropping from 150 gigabytes usage to 10 gigabytes has been spooky on the face of it.
I'll be upgrading my bandwidth soon to the max (I think) of 25 gigabytes per month & try to learn to live with that. Of course that's a lot more f'ing worthless fiat too, for the upgrade, bastards..
So lately not even doing a very good job of keeping up with the news either.. But keeping up "enough" to see that everything is still majorly F'ED! LMAO
As a result of the move, and associated life changes, I have changed my trading style a bit for the time being. Before the move I tended to trade m15 / m5 / m1 charts based on higher time frames (ie; h4, daily, maybe h1). Those trades tended to last from a few to several hours on average and on occasion maybe a day or two. At the moment my trades are based on the longer term as I'm looking for OB/OS conditions on a daily basis and, generally speaking, willing to wait a week or two for a move in my favor.
This is subject to change without notice.
Thanks to everyone for your patience and truly wishing all my great trader friends all the success in the world.

New (and improved ;) front yard, back yard and new puppies :)
---
As many of you likely know by now we recently moved. We moved from the city (albeit a small city lol) to the country. We now have 3 acres full of beautiful oak, and other, trees and lots of wildlife. Just discovered a bunch of wild blackberries in the backyard the other day :)
The move was something we have been thinking about for a couple of years now. We have been looking at properties, off and on, for about that length of time. We are very happy with what we ended up finding at a great price.
Much of our decision was based on finance. Thanks to family we had access to a very affordable loan, quite a blessing in and of itself. We went ahead and did a long term loan so we ended up with miniscule mortgage payments and on top of that by moving out of the city and into the country we said goodbye to many of the bills and fees we had previously.
Gone are the water bill (as we have a well now), the mandatory trash pickup bill, the sewer bill is no more (septic tank), No more gas bill. And the associated, somewhat mysterious, "customer charges" are gone as well. The utility companies tack those on our bill and they often represented as much as 40% of the entire bill! Now the city is planning to institute a recycling fee as well at a cost to residents of $3.00 p/month.
$3.00 isn't much f'ing fiat but..
What the idiots do not seem to understand, pretend they don't understand, is that everyone from the federal government, to state government, to county government, to city / municipality and government regulated utility companies continually increase the amount we pay for everything by a small amount at a time. Here in the states this is called "nickle and diming us to death!" It's the cumulative effect of hundreds, or thousands, of "small" bills and or fees that are crushing our economy.. And of course what is initially a $3.00 bill p/month creeps to $5.00 p/month and then $7.00, seemingly forever until one day, without you noticing, that $3.00 p/month bill is now a $15.00 p/month bill!
In my opinion what this country / economy needs is deflation and yet the Federal reserve Bank, with the blessings of our kleptocratic government, continually strive to create inflation. To continually attempt to force the citizens of this country to borrow, spend and invest.
The house is all electric with a wood burning stove that we plan to heat with in the winter months (and plenty of trees to fuel it ;) At some point in the future we plan to look into solar power as well so we can tell Empire District Electric to kiss our ass too.
At any rate all the saving add up to greatly increase our cash flow. (Which is a good thing :)
And the property is just gorgeous ;)
(Please ignore the dates on the pictures.. Camera wasn't set right after battery change ;) Actual date taken today July 2nd, 2013)
Here's the upgraded front yard..
And the new backyard..
And finally the new "farm" puppies (thanks sis!)
Have a great day everyone. Thanks for peeking ;)
