DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER

All told, governments killed more than 262 million people in the 20th century outside of wars, according to University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century

.Home-price index falls to lowest point since 2002

By DEREK KRAVITZ, AP Real Estate Writer Derek Kravitz, Ap Real Estate Writer – 1 hr 21 mins ago

WASHINGTON – An index of home prices in big metro areas has reached its lowest level since 2002, driven down by foreclosures, a glut of unsold homes and the reluctance or inability of many to buy.
Prices fell from February to March in 18 of the metro areas tracked by the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city index. And prices in a dozen markets have reached their lowest points since the housing bubble burst in late 2006.
The nationwide index fell for the eighth straight month. Prices have now fallen further since the bubble burst than they did during the Great Depression. It took 19 years for the housing market to regain its losses after the Depression ended.
Prices rose last summer, fueled by a temporary federal home-buying tax credit. But they've plunged since then. This month's report marked a "double dip in home prices across much of the nation," said David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor's.
After adjusting for inflation, the home-price index has sunk to a level not seen since 1999.
Many economists think prices nationally will drop at least 5 percent more by year's end. They aren't likely to stop falling until the glut of foreclosures for sale is reduced, employers start hiring in greater force, banks ease lending rules and would-be buyers regain confidence that a home purchase is a wise investment.
"Folks are having so much difficulty in getting financing for a home," said Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo. "It may be early next year before prices hit bottom."
Another obstacle to a rebound in prices: A delay in processing foreclosures. Homes in foreclosure sell for, on average, 20 percent discounts. When they do, they pull prices down further. But many foreclosure sales have been delayed while federal regulators, state attorneys general and banks review how those foreclosures were carried out over the past two years.
Once those homes are eventually foreclosed upon, they will trigger a further price drop in many markets. Those declines are "etched in stone," said Patrick Newport, U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight.
The 12 cities now at their lowest levels in nearly four years are: Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, Portland, Ore., and Tampa.
Minneapolis fared the worst in March; prices there fell 3.7 percent. They dropped 2.4 percent in Charlotte and Chicago and 2 percent in Detroit. But prices rose 0.1 percent in Seattle and 1.1 percent in Washington, D.C. The nation's capital is the only metro area in the index where prices have risen in the past year.
The Case-Shiller index measures sales of select homes in the 20 largest markets compared with January 2000. For each metro area it reviews, the index provides a three-month moving average price. By measuring sales prices of the same homes over time, the index seeks to pinpoint market values and conditions.
The housing sector is struggling even as the overall economy is in the midst of a steady but slow recovery.
That won't change soon. Roughly 92 percent of homeowners say it's a bad time to sell their home, according to the latest Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment.
But housing also affects the broader economy. Homes account for about a third of household wealth. So when prices fall, they have "important spillover effects on other sectors of the economy," said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an analyst at BNP Paribas. Those sectors include consumer spending and state and local property tax collections.
Some of the sharpest price declines have occurred in cities hit hardest by unemployment and foreclosures, such as Phoenix, Tampa and Las Vegas. They are flooded with homes sitting vacant, awaiting buyers. Many banks have agreed to allow homes at risk of foreclosure to be sold for less than what is owed on their mortgages. That trend has pulled down prices.
Coastal areas, such as San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Washington and Boston, have fared comparatively better in the past two years. They have been aided by healthy local economies and low unemployment, desirable city centers and limited space for new housing.
But the damage is now spreading to areas that had long escaped the worst of the crisis. They include Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis and Cleveland. Economists regard them as housing bellwethers — metro areas that are reliable indicators of where national prices are headed.
Denver and Dallas are on pace to hit post-housing bust lows in the next few months.
In the seven years before its peak in July 2006, the home-price index surged 155 percent. Since then, it's fallen 33 percent.

Last month Real Estate TV Talking Heads said "Home prices have bottomed out. Buy now! Buy now!!!"
Which is what they said the previous month, and the previous month, and the previous month. Since all these suckers have got a pony in the race, it might not be wise to believe those whose incomes depend upon a house sale.

The banks would like you to believe prices are rebounding.
Not a chance till people started working again.
Try 3 to 5 years and then MAYBE.
In the 50s and early 60s homes appreciated at 1 to 2% in many areas at best.

Buy a house to live in. Enjoy it, decorate it, fix up the yard. Be proud of your home. It's a place to relax, take a shower, and eat. If you think along these lines and not about making money on your home, you'll be fine. A home is not a bank. It's a home.

I just wonder how much of the good news for this market is by "speculators". As anybody might remember, both Las Vegas & Phoenix had bid up markets. Speculators drove the prices up only to unsustainable.

Watch out California. Remember there is the shadow market (future short sales & foreclosures) the lenders have yet to place on the market because it would lower their yields on existing listings.

One last point. Jobs fuel the economy. Is California gaining considerable new jobs enough to sustain this upward movement of prices?

I get so doggone confused!

One day home sales are up and the next day they're down. I've even seen it where two contidictory articles were posted at the same time. It's almost like somebody is tampering with the data or something to give a false impression of recovery?

Then the other day I saved a link where the NAR said the had seriously overcounted home sales. This would mean things were worse than they told us?

So, in my confusion, I decide to go back to that link to figure it out. To my AMAZEMENT there was an entirely different article (under the same link) entitled "Existing home sales overcounting "minor": NAR". It literally reversed the information from before.

I don't know who to trust any more.

The government has been funding the hold back of already completed foreclosures from hitting the market. This artificially and temporarily keeps prices higher than they would be if all foreclosures hit the market causing an oversupply. The timing was kept to Feb. of this year to keep it from becoming an election issue. Also, there are a lot more foreclosures coming down the way because banks can't process them quickly enough now that some of them have been caught electronically processing them without manual review as required by law.

Pricing is a perception of value. With an oversupply, prices will become lower again but most markets will reach a bottom as many properties just don' t have enough equity and banks or owners can't afford to sell short by more than a certain amount. We should see bottom soon as economically, house prices can't get lower. But hold on to your hats folks because houses will drop another 20 - 25% in many of these overspeculated markets.

Rising median prices just means that fewer low price houses are being sold . . . not that property prices are rising overall. Data quick reports that higher end houses are capitulating to price pressure and foreclosures are creeping upmarket. That increase in median values is not a good sign.

If any of you people believe anything these politicians say about their commitment to a strong U.S. economy then you haven't been paying attention to history.

Here is a sobering bit of reality:

• Currently, some 45 million Americans are living in poverty

• Over 30 million people on food stamps; many are first-time-ever recipients

• 8 million jobs lost since the recession began; many employed have experienced income reductions

• Real unemployment at 16%; for minorities and teens it’s at 23%

• A total of 9.2 million people are currently claiming unemployment benefits. Regular state programs provide to 42% of them; emergency and other types are also available.

• Since 2008, state and local governments have been drastically curtailing/cutting services and programs, as well as laying off workers by the hundreds of thousands per year

• Values of retirement portfolios eroded by 20% (especially 401Ks and mutual funds)

• Since Dec. 2007, at least 3 million homes already lost due to foreclosures. RealtyTrac Inc. predicts some 1.2 million more owners will lose their homes in 2011

• Many homes’ values dropped by 20%, or more in some areas

• Our GDP is 75% driven by domestic consumer consumption

• We have no substantial manufacturing base; our economy is 75% service-oriented

• The U.S. national debt now exceeds 14 TRILLION dollars

• The United States currently functions as Latin America’s de facto “welfare system”

• Meanwhile, the federal government plans to make some 25 million unauthorized immigrants eligible for a mass amnesty program. (Already, the U.S. is unofficially a dual-language country.)

• Oh yeah, the poor keep getting poorer; and the middle class is—slowly but surely—disappearing. But somehow, the rich just keep getting richer. (Go figure!)

[translation]
The US economy is currently running on life-support. The gap between the rich and the poor is increasing. The nation's overall standard of living is not simply eroding: it’s experiencing free-fall.

America is being transformed into a contemporary version of a third-world nation. The precursor is a state of the economy where there is a tremendous surplus of cheap labor and many more people being dependent upon government aid. Also, it necessitates a inceased number of ignorant and compliant voters.

The writing is on the wall: the federal government wants the citizenry to substantially lower its expectations as to what constitutes the "American Dream."
[/translation]

[bottom-line]
It’s all about transferring vast amounts of wealth, primarily from the middle class to the ruling class. At the highest levels of power, in business and in politics, the very wealthy are truly united. In the final analysis, it’s not about liberals versus conservatives, democrats vs. republicans, the right vs. the left, or other artificial dichotomies. And, if you succumb to such classifications, then you fall victim to the divide-and-conquer strategy of power elite.

Americans, wake up and take your heads out of the sand! Look at the patterns and connect the dots. Complete globalization and a one-world government are just around the corner. This is what the global elite mean by a New World Order; and it is all courtesy of them. (Thank you very much!)

BARONE: Pro-Obama media always shocked by bad economic news...

Consumer confidence falls unexpectedly in May.Consumer Confidence Index drops unexpectedly to 6-month low in May; gas, job worries persist

Mae Anderson, AP Retail Writer, On Tuesday May 31, 2011, 1:51 pm

NEW YORK (AP) -- Americans are losing faith that the economy will keep improving, according to a monthly survey.
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index fell to a six-month low of 60.8 from a revised 66 in April, a sign of the toll that high gas prices, a choppy job outlook and a moribund housing market are taking on people's psyches. Economists had expected an increase to 67.
"Consumers are considerably more apprehensive about future business and labor market conditions as well as their income prospects," said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. She said fears of inflation that had eased in April picked up again in May.
The index, released Tuesday, is still far from the reading of 90 that indicates a healthy economy. It hasn't approached that level since the recession began in December 2007.
The results paint a different picture than earlier this year, when many hoped the economic recovery was gaining steam. In February, consumer confidence hit a three-year high. But since then, consumers have started paying more for food and gasoline and are seeing a "double dip" in the housing market.
Part of the problem in May was that the confidence survey's cutoff of May 18 did not give consumers enough time to react to falling gas prices, which peaked early in the month, IHS Global Insight Economist Chris Christopher said.
"We expect consumer confidence to pick up next month because those respondents will be able to show appreciation for falling gasoline prices," he added.
Still, gasoline isn't consumers' only worry, said Moody's Chief Economist John Lonski.
"Expectations of higher prices coupled with expectations of lower income makes for a more anxious consumer," he said. "The takeaway here is employment and income are not growing rapidly enough to sustain an extended stay by rapid inflation."
Economists monitor confidence because consumer spending, including big-ticket items such as housing and health care, accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity and is critical for a strong economy. A more troubled outlook raises the risk that people will pull back on spending.
Food makers have raised prices to offset sharply higher commodity costs, and that's putting pressure on household budgets, particularly for middle- to lower-income people. Retail gasoline prices peaked at a national average of about $3.98 on May 5, according to auto club AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service, but gas prices still remain stubbornly high. The consumer confidence survey ran from May 1-18.
Real estate also remains depressed. Home prices fell nationwide for the eighth straight month, according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city index released Tuesday. Home prices in major areas have reached their lowest level since the U.S. housing bubble burst in 2006, stymied by foreclosures, a surplus of unsold homes and a reluctance to buy into a falling market.
This month's report marked a "double dip in home prices across much of the nation," said David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor's.
And the job market remains sluggish. A Labor Department report last week said more people applied for unemployment benefits last week, the first increase in three weeks.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits rose by 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 424,000. That's above the 375,000 level consistent with sustainable job growth. They peaked at 659,000 during the recession.
Consumers' opinion about current conditions declined only slightly. Their expectations for the next six months fell more. The number of people expecting jobs to grow in the next six months declined, and the number of people expecting fewer jobs during the same period increased.
Elizabeth Castner, who just finished her freshman year at Brown University, said she managed to line up a paid research internship for the summer, but many of her classmates weren't so lucky and have struggled to find work.
"You spend a ton on this education that's supposed to get you really far," said Castner, 19 and a biochemistry major. "And when you get out, it's tough to find work, or work that you love doing."

It is only "unexpected" to those who are brain dead or frantically trying to protect the Obama administration from the reality that its economic philosophy does NOT work, unless, of course, it WANTS the economy to fail to increase dependence on government and thus government control.

Keynesian economics was created ex-post facto to justify the creation of the Federal Reserve CORPORATION. And _expectedly_, they both rely on the same basic assumption: there will be infinite growth, i.e., growth will continue forever. Had they read Aesop's fables, they would have known that infinite growth leads to a large popping sound and everybody will be covered in toad-goo. Maybe they did know, but they and their progeny have lived well off the backs off everyone else for the last 100 years. But now, the assumption has shown itself to be false, and the entire economic model upon which their existence has been based is collapsing. So to buy themselves time to figure out what to do next, they will plunge the world into chaos: war, famine, riots, etc. Just FYI...do what you think is right.

The problem is not that things are getting worse. The problem is the media is losing control of the masses. Too @#$% many are starting to think for themselves.

The media's lies and distortions have to get bigger and stronger to counteract the facts. I have faith that they will prevail. Americans are pretty easy to control.

Shocking facts the US Census Bureau:

Social Security Income is going to be the primary source of retirement income for most Americans.

Most Americans are going to have to work in retirement 30 hours/ week to supplement that income.

Many will perhaps skip meals because there is little money left over after basic expenses.

This is not fiction. It will be fact.
Why? Because people are making a choice to live like this.
People who work for the government are living off you, the average taxpayer.
You pay for their retirement, their benefits, yet you can't even retire youself!

Barack Obama's decision to play golf on Memorial Day was disrespectful and hardly presidential

By Nile Gardiner World Last updated: May 31st, 2011

Barack Obama has played golf 70 times (Photo: AFP)

Can you imagine David Cameron enjoying a round of golf on Remembrance Sunday? It would be inconceivable for the British Prime Minister to do so, and not just because of the usually dire weather at that time of the year. Above all, it would be viewed as an act of extremely bad taste on a day when the nation remembers and mourns her war dead. I can’t imagine the PM even considering it, and I’m sure his advisers would be horrified at the idea. And if the prime minister ever did play golf on such a sacrosanct day he would be given a massive drubbing by the British press, and it would never be repeated.
Contrast this with President Obama’s decision to play golf yesterday, Memorial Day, for the 70th time during his 28-month long presidency. For tens of millions of Americans, Memorial Day is a time for remembrance of the huge sacrifices made by servicemen and women on the battlefield. The president did pay his respects in the morning, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, but later in the day traveled to Fort Belvoir to play golf. The story has not been reported so far in a single US newspaper, but was made public by veteran White House correspondent Keith Koffler on his blog. Here’s Koffler’s report:

The business of memorializing our war dead done, President Obama headed out to the Fort Belvoir golf course today, finding his way onto the links for the ninth weekend in a row.

Obama earlier today laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and met with families of those killed in battle. But he emerged from the day’s solemnity to go golfing for the 12th time this year and the 70th time of his presidency.

The decision to golf on Memorial Day invites comparison with President George W. Bush, who gave up the game early in his presidency and said he did it out of respect for the families of those killed in Iraq.

Does it matter if the president chooses to play golf on Memorial Day, and for the second time in his presidency (he did so as well in 2009)? I think it does, and it displays extraordinarily bad judgment, not only by Obama himself but also by his advisers. His chief of staff for example should have firmly cautioned against it. President Obama is not just any American but Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces. The United States is currently engaged in a major war in Afghanistan with over 100,000 troops on the ground, and more than 1,500 have already laid down their lives for their country.
The least the president can do on Memorial Day is spend the whole day with veterans and servicemen’s families while acknowledging their sacrifice. As Koffler points out above, President George W. Bush stopped playing golf out of respect for the families of Iraq War dead. This demonstrated not only good judgment but humility and respect for the men and women who keep America safe. It is little wonder that, as Gallup reveals in a new poll, US military personnel and veterans give Barack Obama lower marks for his job performance than members of the general public. The president’s actions smack of poor taste, as well a lack of empathy and support for the US military, hardly the kind of leadership the White House should be projecting at a time of war.

Do you think he really cares about veterans? I don't. They are merely a distraction to his golf game. This guy is one lame president.
