Happy Birthday to Pres. George W. Bush!

July 6, 2014

Steve Forbes in the July 2 Editorial on Forbes Magazine compared Robert McNamara’s handling of the Vietnam War with Hank Paulson’s management of the U.S. Treasury (2006 – 2009).

Towards the start of what would be the Financial Crisis of 2008, on March 4, 2007

U.S.Secretary Hank Paulson said: “Clearly, no one’s got a crystal ball. So there’s always a possibility that there will be a downturn, always a possibility,” Paulson said. “But I don’t see it. I think we have a healthy economy in the U.S.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Sunday said he feels good about the U.S. economy and does not see the country slipping into recession.

In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Paulson offered some soothing words for financial markets after a week of volatility following some remarks by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan that a recession was possible this year. Paulson acknowledged that an economic slowdown is possible, but said he saw a rosier outlook.

“Clearly, no one’s got a crystal ball. So there’s always a possibility that there will be a downturn, always a possibility,” Paulson said. “But I don’t see it. I think we have a healthy economy in the U.S.”

====================

Yet by March 7, 2007, based on the 6-month Financial Analysis (Sept. 2003 to March 2004) I was asking if anyone was interested in a “Crystal Ball” forecasting/prediction system that Alan Greenspan would be looking for in his Oct. 18, 2013 interview.

See: https://www.nedmacario.us/2014/07/05/happy-birthday-america/

Also on May 21, 2004, I wrote Paper No. 8 (Note to Self) predicting which industries and businesses would encounter various problems . See: 5) Paper No. VIII: Original E-mail dated May 21, 2004 updated Fri. Nov. 16, 2012

Happy Birthday America!

July 4, 2014

Happy 4th of July 2014! Below is Greenspan’s revelation about the 2008 financial crisis and how JP Morgan, IMF and even the Federal Reserve all failed to see the crisis coming! Greenspan said: “Not a single major forecaster of note or institution caught it.”

For this 4th of July, I offer America some hope. I saw it coming as early as Dec. 15, 2006. I refer you to my papers.

1 of 3 – Alan Greenspan: What Went Wrong

2 of 3 – “What really keeps me up at night is the inability of our government to make decisions that push our economy and our society forward. And one of the things I’ve learned looking at the world is that a country’s national security, any country’s national security, is more dependent on the strength its economy and on the strength of its society than anything else.

“I think that for some reason that I don’t understand, John, there’s been a change from a willingness of the two parties to work together to get things done, to today the two parties at each other’s throat and simply trying to score political points. And I don’t know why that’s occurred. And I don’t have a good understanding on how to fix that. But that’s what needs to be fixed.”

Retired CIA Deputy Director Mike Morell in a rare interview aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes on Oct. 25, 2013 said:

3 of 3 – “Three of the world’s richest men — Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Sheldon Adelson — put aside their political differences.

In an opinion column in Friday’s New York Times, the trio, who have a net worth of about $160 billion between them, said that a Congress paralyzed by partisanship is failing US citizens by refusing to make the compromises necessary to overhaul a system that Democrats, Republicans and President Barack Obama all say is broken.”

Inhabitants of all the lands the US government purchased automatically became Native Americans whether they liked it or not. The Philippines along with Puerto Rico and Guam was purchased from Spain in 1898 for $20 million.

I am a Native American and I have superior claim over the Spratlys and the Philippines because the Philippines, my ancestral land, is in fact an abandoned U.S. territory. Yet today, ethnic Chinese and ethnic Spaniards control its economy and resources with the blessings of Washington DC.

The fact that the other Filipinos and Americans including historians, professors, scholars, journalists, business and political leaders are unfamiliar with our history is not my fault. These data are available for all to see.

REPOSSESSING THE PHILIPPINES THE NATIVE AMERICAN WAY.

Movie Dances with Wolves – Hat Trade Scene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbd1trNz9bY

John Dunbar: [at the celebration of the buffalo feast, noticing a big Sioux man has his Lieutenant’s hat] That’s my hat… that’s my hat!

Big Warrior: [in Lakota, as all becomes quiet in the tent] I found it on the praIrie. It’s mine.

Wind In His Hair: [stands up, in Lakota] The hat belongs to Lieutenant.

Big Warrior: He left it on the prairie. He didn’t want it. [AMERICA ABANDONED THE PHILIPPINES, OK? AND I’VE ALREADY CLAIMED IT BACK AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR ITS CARETAKER.]

Wind In His Hair: Well, you can see he wants it now. We all know it’s a soldier hat. We all know who wears it. If you want to keep it, that’s fine. BUT GIVE SOMETHING FOR IT. [I’VE ALREADY GIVEN SOMETHING AND CONTINUE TO GIVE. BUT WILL CONSIDER GIVING SOME MORE. LET’S NEGOTIATE. Bienvenido Macario – Lemuria]

[Big Warrior looks at the Sioux elder who nods in approval. Then Big Warrior takes his knife and sheath off his belt and gives it to Dunbar]

Big Warrior: Washte.

John Dunbar: Washte

Wind In His Hair: [in English, to Dunbar] Good… trade!

As part of the trade i.e. repossessing my ancestral land, the Philippines, the only abandoned US territory, I offered this to America on 5 July 2014. The US government seems to ignore my offer. I shall reclaim my ancestral land nonetheless. By the 4th of July 2015, it shall be one year from my initial offering. Modesty aside, the US government is not going to get a better offer than what I am offering compared to those who are now trashing my ancestral land.

China takes nickel ores from the Philippines – July 2013

“Every battle is won before it’s ever fought.” ― Sun Tzu (544 BCE – 496 BCE)

If the U.S. bases were still in the Philippines after Marcos was ousted or after Mt. Pinatubo erupted, I doubt China or Vietnam or Malaysia or Taiwan would even dare occupy the Spratlys. So as far as China is concerned, Pres. Cory Aquino, the mother of Aquino III is the hero.

Excerpt: “Money was not an issue in the impasse. In recent years, Washington has pledged a certain amount in economic, military and housing assistance instead of paying yearly rent for American bases. In the fiscal year that ended in September, the Philippines received $408 million in connection with the bases, and the Subic Bay base has pumped more than $344 million a year into the country’s economy.”

The Philippines (Cory Aquino) told the United States today that it MUST withdraw from the Subic Bay naval base by the end of 1992 (when Cory Aquino is no longer president), ending a vast American military presence that began with the capture of the islands from Spain in 1898.

The decision, which resulted from an impasse in negotiations, follows a year of intense talks between the countries on the fate of American bases in the Philippines. The announcement also comes just three days before President Bush begins a 12-day Asian tour.

“Once it begins, it is an irreversible process,” a senior American official said today. “The bottom line is that we are gone.”

Pres. Cory Aquino Orders U.S. to Leave Strategic Navy Base at Subic Bay

Report July 2013: Three Chinese mining companies have taken nickel ores from Sta. Cruz mountains some 90 miles north of the US Naval Base in Subic Bay. Aquino III has been working with China. His mother Cory Aquino planned the removal of U.S. bases in the Philippines and presence in the region when she visited her ancestral land, China on April 15, 1988.
