A few excerpts from a story in today's paper so I can ask YOU to help me figure something out.. Link to the full story below.

But dealers say sales likely won't collapse in the second half of 2011, as they did in 2009. That's because banks are lending more freely,
(THIS bothers me! Because generally speaking lease deals are a huge ripoff.. When you turn your car back in dealers will generally try to hit you for THOUSANDS of dollars for any little minuscule scratches they can find.)
---
and lease deals, which went away during the recession, are making a comeback.

Also, older cars will still need to be replaced. The average age of a car in the U.S. is 10.6 years, up more than a full year from 2008, according to the research firm Polk.

J.D. Power and Associates cut its 2011 sales forecast last week by 2 percent, to 12.6 million new cars and trucks. It cut its 2012 forecast by 3 percent, to 14.1 million. Ford Motor Co. is sticking with its sales forecast of around 13 million for the year.
"We're not getting back to what was considered normal or healthy as quickly as possible, but it's still a pretty strong progression," says Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting for J.D. Power. Sales bottomed at 10.4 million in 2009.

(And HERE is the reason for this post and the question I have that I could use some help resolving..)
---
Since that year [2009], [[the U.S. auto industry has grown remarkably, adding jobs faster than the economy as a whole]].
The industry has added about 77,000 jobs since June of 2009. That's [[an increase of 12 percent, compared with a rise of 0.2 percent for the economy overall]].
[Most of you already know how little trust / confidence (NONE!) I have in government.. Here is what bothers me about the above.. The obama administration nationalized GM & Chrysler in 2009.. They also gave control, or at least very large stakes, in the companies to the unions, UAW. So it just makes me wonder what kind of "backroom" deals were cut between the administration and these two auto companies / union??? Knowing the shape of the U.S. economy then and now I might suggest a qid pro quo exists between the administration and these auto dealers such as, we will save your ass and give the UAW control if you will hire workers, regardless of business conditions, at a rate much higher than what the general economy is able to produce.
Is the rebound in hiring in the auto industry nothing but more government fraud and manipulation of the private sector in an effort to further stave off the Great Reset? How could we ever find out if that is true???]
Here is a link to the nasty deal from 2009 Obama Arranges Takeover of GM and Chrysler; Auto Workers Union Gets Huge Stake

Bankers and President | Please check this out

Bankers and Presidents with principles of liberty… Like hot sauce on pancakes,
This is a compilation of connections between assassinations and attempted assassinations of United states Presidents.
This report does not even touch on the long list of other Senators, Congressmen and private citizens that have been assassinated or have had attempts on their lives.
You will be taking a profound look into a very deep and dark part of our history remotely exploring the links between the banking and political systems of our nation.
I believe there is no limit to the evil some will impose upon this nation and the world to keep their greed, wealth, control and power over the people in check.
Debt and income taxes are slavery, it is power and control over you and I, the system we have today is a perpetuating debt engine always thirsty and always being well maintained by the debt controllers…the International Private Bankers.
Attemted assassination:
Andrew Jackson, 7th U.S. President, 1829-1824

A mysterious economic email that just appeared in my inbox - #DOW #corrupt #Washington #FED #depression #inflation #market #economy
---
Via @ATTechFX on twitter < HIGHLY recommended follow if you do not already do so
I didn't WRITE this but I sure do WISH I had! I think it's RIGHT ON THE FIAT! (Oops.. right on the money I meant..)
---
With the DOW down -409 points at the time of this writing, and gold hitting $1822, (another all-time record high), words like “parabolic” are starting to seep into the headlines…
The QE heroine from the past two years is wearing off, and as expected, the economy is falling into withdrawal.
The entire global system is headed for a massive depression of epic proportions that SHOULD have taken place back in 2008.
Just as wildfires keep forests healthy by burning off dead, insect-infested wood and brush, these massive resets that take place every 80-100 years are nature’s way of clearing the corrupt and diseased within the economy, in order to reset the system and create an opportunity for a new cycle of growth.
So is this the big sell-off that will take the markets down 40-70% over the next few weeks or months?
It should be.
But Washington and the Fed will do everything within their power to prevent that from happening, because it will be their heads on the line if it does.
Their only course of action left is to literally buy the Billions of dollars in stocks being sold, and flood the world with freshly printed currency. They have been doing both with zeal.
Obviously, these are the desperate moves of con artists who are out of ideas and options, and the American people are going to take it in the ass not once, but twice in the form of a hyperinflationary-depression. (Pardon the vulgarity, but I prefer blunt honesty over political correctness).
Whatever you have in the markets will be toast as they collapse, and whatever you have in savings will be turned into toilet paper through inflation.
Look…
The stock market is completely rigged. When the Fed can just come in on a down day like this one and simply buy the indexes until it ends up green again, you’re participating in a scam.
The dollars in your bank account are fake pieces of dirty paper that represent your lifelong repayment of debt to sociopaths.
The “miracle market” that is China is a complete fraud filled with more than 22 FAKE Apple stores. Do you really think an economy that’s based on lies, fraud, bribery, and communism will lead the world into a new era of growth?!?! Really!?
It’s all coming down folks.

FINALLY a Politician has the balls to accuse Bernanke & the FED of Treason!
---
Here is an example of how ALL politicians are expected to "Please the MEDIA at all costs, above everything else". This is the political mentality we seem to be STUCK with!
(IMHO THIS is NO way to present your case to the public! This mentality I would call "walking on eggshells"! As far as I'm concerned the main stream media can go (fill in the blank). Let's try some HONESTY and REAL debate for a change!)
---
"Being a campaigning politician is tricky. You want to be sure you speak to your base without alienating other potential voters. You need to make sure that your speeches are clear, concise, and memorable, without risking misinterpretation. And you want to make sure to use strong rhetoric and make firm promises to show that you are a real and competent leader, without making it seem like you’d sign off on the murder of, say, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke." <Source>
---
It's NOT that complicated! Try telling the TRUTH!
Of course the f'ing FED lovers are coming out of the woodwork! This clearly demonstrates how NO politician in EITHER party is EVER allowed to criticize the Federal Reserve Bank or it's ChairSatan! (to borrow a phrase from @zerohedge) And why TF is that?! You ask.. Because the politicians are OWNED lock, stock and barrel BY the Federal Reserve Bank / Primary Dealers / Banks and multinational corporations, "SPECIAL" interests and lobbyists! DUH!
All any of them seem to be interested in is accounting fraud!
But anyway.. I'm not a Rick Perry supporter because he is merely a politician trying to "take advantage" of the Tea Party.
Ron Paul is the REAL DEAL!

When comets strike - Revelation Mother Shipton Nostradamus Hindu Prophecies
---
According to the various prophecies, the Comet or asteroid will come to symbolize the World War III. The prophecies indicate that not only will the Comet appear during the time the war will be going on, but it will strike the Earth (actually an ocean or sea) and will cause devastating tidal waves, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions leading to the loss of millions of lives. In all probability this event will pave the way for the Eastern forces to attack and occupy a weakened and devastated Europe. Other prophecies indicate that another collision will take place after the peace (following WW-III) is over and during the "End of the World". Here is a collection of prophecies which indicate the event of Comets striking the earth.
The Bible - Book of Revelation (8:7-12)
"The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp [other translations, "a torch"], and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood [means "bitter" or unpotable]; and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise."
Probably the comet/asteroid would be broken up in various chunks, big and small. Some smaller ones will come first ("hail and fire mixed with blood"), fall on the land and explode in balls of fire destroying trees and towns probably. The big one, the bulk of the core ("mountain burning with fire") would hit the sea causing ships and creatures of the sea to be destroyed instantly. The resulting tidal waves would also destroy the coastal towns and cities. A smaller part of the comet or asteroid would fall on the land and throw up rocks and ash into the atmosphere. The resulting dust would rise into the atmosphere and block the sun and moonlight as is usual in such a scenario. The waters of the rivers would also be polluted, probably because of some radioactive minerals in the comet/asteroid, which would result in many deaths. It goes on to say "And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft." This seems to be a description of some kind of volcanic eruption which will be a result of the great impact of the comet/asteroid. This itself will also further contribute to the spewing of smoke and ash into the atmosphere, blocking the sunlight further. This is the general scenario which the scientists agree will be the result of a big comet or asteroid striking the earth. Thus the descriptions in the Biblical Book of Revelations, with all its religious fervour, is an accurate description of a Comet or asteroid striking the earth during the war of "Armageddon". This would have seemed surreal to us but for the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which all of humanity watched with awe when it broke up into several pieces and fell into the planet Jupiter during July 1994. There is also evidence of such collisions taking place in the Earth itself in the pre-historic times and also more recently in Tunguska, Siberia.
"And I saw heaven open and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him....is called the Word of God...amid flaming fire (thunder and lightning)... (Rev.19, 11)
The Great Monarch will appear on a white horse (see the Hindu Prophecies below) "amid flaming fire", which may describe the striking of the Comet.

According to @BarackObama "Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally"
---
Then again what else can one expect from a president who five years ago said the following vis-a-vis the debt ceiling:
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
