Put it out to all your OPP pals. Even the libs can join in.

In all seriousness, millions of Americans would abandon FB if they had a second choice that was offering more freedom and allowed them to delete. It would also have to be completely A-Political. No political steering allowed. No censorship. Just very generic respectful rules.

"It is in motion, just being held at bay to get through the elections...Familiar to you???? Sure is to me"

Yes, same play, but it's a reverse this time. In 08, the progressives blew up the economy prior to the Obama/McCain election. This play is to preserve the progressive confidence game long enough to protect Obama's ridiculous legacy and Hillary's election. After that, they are prepared to move forward without end game.

Remember, Bush inherited the dot com bubble from Bill two months into his term. $5 Trillion evaporated. Obama inherited the sub-prime meltdown several months into his first term. $24 Trillion evaporatedin that bubble burst. If history repeats, the next President could see $600 plus Trillion in derivatives unwind on the weakening and soon to be defaulting bond bubble.

If the Derivatives implode on the sovereign Bonds, it will be a life changing event. Millions of Americans are still recovering from the sub-prime crisis. The next bubble will be called the "Everything Bubble". This will not only wipe out cities, it will wipe out countries, including ours since we are the biggest debtor in the world.

It's very very possible! Think about it, tens of trillions of currency is constantly being mouse clicked all over the world. Bad money chasing bad money all backed by nothing.

One must ask, what happens if we as a nation default paying our Creditors ??

Well, they get pretty much everything. The bankers get the land, the infrastructure, the waterways, the ports, the food, transportation, the precious metals. Etc etc.

We the people get stuck with the paper just like the Germans did in the 1920's.

If you read the laws being passed and the Executive orders being issued, you can clearly see they are preparing for such an event. Just saying!

I like it. You can pretty much bet conservatives, libertarians and independents would join when you consider all the bad press FB gets allowing itself to be used as a tool by the deep state.

"But there is a way to erase all content from their servers, when you close your account. I'll see if I can find it."

Interesting, did not know there was a way to delete out of FB. I personally never did FB but have a lot of friends wanting out due to various events.

FACEBOOK is nothing more than an intrusive spy apparatus for the elites. I know for a fact they do indeed endlessly creep FB, scan pictures for facial identification and keep a file on all users.

Just agreeing to their contractual agreement making your personal life their property should have detoured millions away from ever joining. It's very saddening how many Americans are obsessed to this social media on a daily basis.

Hello Linda,
Your nephew has completed a huge accomplishment, congrats to him. Yes, no FB or Twitter allowed in the Intel community and for good reason. I hate FB and Twitter anyway. He will not miss it that much. Nothing like a good old fashion phone call.

Enjoy your Monday

My parents and grandparents lived through the great depression, the dust bowl and world war. It was death and destruction.

I service the housing industry. I got my ass handed to me in 08/09/10 and 11. I lost just about everything. People lost their savings, their jobs, their homes and their hope. All created by booms and bust. Obviously you have been somewhat insulated from these events.

Please look around and ask those who have been looking for a good job for the past year or all the underemployed who have lost their savings and home to this so called recovery. This recovery only serves the few, not the masses. Even by the manipulated data from the government,. GDP for the second quarter is a weak 1.2% AND THAT will be revised down after another 30 days on the back pages of the POST or the NYT.

There are record numbers of people on gov assistance. Read the sub-prime auto bubble. Student debt. Then throw $585 Trillion in banker derivatives encircling the $120 Trillion global Bond bubble. Nothing to worry about, right?

Prudence can be your Savior.

Thank you Sam. No likes or dislikes here. Just comments or symbols.

As Linda told me awhile ago when I elected to sign up for OPP. There are a lot of nice and informative folks here and not so nice folks here. I rarely post comments because of this. Lots of disrespect of each other's views. Not a whole lot of constructive and productive debate.

Stay safe,
Vette

Off topic - I am not a Mopar guru. I am having a hard time guessing identifying your challenger? 2010? The hood is throwing me off? What mods do you have?

I agree with you. The reason I used Capitalist in lieu of free market is because I wanted to itemize Capitalism from Crony capitalism. I also do not like to mince my words due to political correctness or allow the progressive left to control the narrative.

Capitalism (the free market) has raised more folks out of poverty than any other economic system.

Well said, standing ovation for you!

Regardless who wins in November, there is an ass kicking coming to all the markets. Stocks, bonds, real estate, jobs etc etc. The Fed is manipulating everything you can think of to keep the economy and markets from crashing to preserve Obama's BS recovery. All they did is take the same monetary policies of easy money coupled with artificially low to zero interest rate and multiplied it x10. The markets are now addicted to the financial pumping like crack! What's scary now is all the priming the Fed is doing is having little effect. The last push in U.S. stocks over the last two weeks was the BOJ and the ECB printing Bernanke's helicopter money. That's it, nothing more. Overall earnings are weakening and bonds are struggling.

The next financial crisis will make the 08 sub-prime meltdown look insignificant. I just can't warn about this enough.

" I side with neither Trump nor Clinton"

And there lays the problem.

Yep. I have been self employed since I was 31 years old. I have worked extremely hard building a multi-million dollar business. I have had extreme challenges trying to navigate very, very rough waters (especially the sub-prime meltdown) I have survived.

I am a true Capitalist. I believe in hard work, accountability, innovation and critical thinking to what is happening around all of us. That seems to be going out the window as the progressives love to enslave more and more Americans to the Socialist government system. Here is what really upsets me, just here recently (Michelle Obama as the current example) she stands up infront of millions and shakes her fist while saying "In America, if you work hard , you will be successful". Well, no you don't because once you are considered making too much money, the Democrats and their radicals boo you and shoot you the middle finger and says we need to pay for everything. Of course, the Democrat/Republican party is going to decide for you how much money they are going to extort from you and if you don't like it and speak out against TPTB, here you go, take an IRS audit and STFU! That is what this country has been reduced too

"Socialism is already entrenched with this country and moving closer to a communistic environment given the rebellion shown in this miserable, far reaching embarrassment of an election
Cycle"

You are absolutely correct. I believe the deep state is already well entrenched and is preparing to separate by ideology. Paranoid, not too sure anymore by what I am reading and witnessing. There is a great political schism coming. Our Constitution and the Bill of Rights cannot exist in a Socialist/Communist political system. It's oil and water and TPTB now this. This is why you see so many divisive groups. The elites are dividing us up! Much easier to hijack a country when it's not United behind patriotism. We are being separated by race, class, age and ideology.

I strongly believe there is absolutely no reconciliation with the progressive left. They are going for a full blown power grab of the country, controlled by the billionaire oligarchy.

The only way our country will change back to what we knew (and even then it was fucked up) is to remove the central power, the order that created all this and replace it with a new order. An order that will return back to the way the founders created it. Until then, it will only get worse. Our children are being pulled down the rabbit hole (and many corrupt adults). Not all, but most of our K-12 and college kids as you know are being fully indoctrinated into an entitlement, big government system. We are being conditioned for total rule by the progressive left. They want us to become accustomed to police presence and cameras scanning your face literally everywhere. THIS IS THE #1 REASON FOR THEIR SO CALLED "GUN CONTROL". Gun control has always been taking guns from certain groups. This is how the NRA was forned to protect the rights of the black community from the southern Democrats and their enforcers called the KKK.
