Here is what David Feherty wrote in a Dallas magazine recently:
"If you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama Bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and Bin Laden would be strangled to death."
Some people (in the liberal media) don't think it's funny; personally I think its not only funny, but very likely true!
This “joke” is being compared to “tasteless” Wanda Sykes jokes about Rush Limbaugh at the Press Banquet in Washington DC:
"Rush Limbaugh hopes the country fails? I hope his kidneys fail, how 'bout that?"
Ha Ha Ha, only I would have said:
"Nancy Polosi hopes the Republicans fail? I hope her kidneys fail, how 'bout that?"
Or how about when Sykes said:
"You know, you might want to look into this, [President Obama], because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight. ...
I would have said:
"You know, you might want to look into this, [President Obama], because I think maybe Nancy Peloski was the 20th hijacker, but she was just holding out for a private plane so she missed her flight. ...
Tasteless? Perhaps a bitter taste, but ... I think the jokes were funny at the Press banquet AND everywhere else. After all political humor isn't really funny unless there is a ring of truth in it and perhaps a bitter taste, don't you think?
How about: The way things are going in Japan, you would think the PM just sits around on his Aso all day reading manga (comic books).

The Five Thousand Year Leap
The following principles upon which the United States was founded are explored in a book: The Five Thousand Year Leap by W Cleon Skousen:
Here is a summary:
Principle 1 - The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relations is Natural Law.
Natural law is God's law. There are certain laws which govern the entire universe, and just as Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence, there are laws which govern in the affairs of men which are "the laws of nature and of nature's God."
“If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains; if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.” Cicero
Legislation in violation of natural law is a scourge to humanity. A warning to legislators who undertake to pass laws that violate the laws of nature: “...but the most foolish notion of all is the belief that everything is just which is found in the customs or laws of nations...”Cicero
Principle 2 - A free people cannot survive under a republican constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Benjamin Franklin
Principle 3 - The most promising method of securing a virtuous people is to elect virtuous leaders.
"Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who ... will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man." - Samuel Adams
Principle 4 - Without religion the government of a free people cannot be maintained.
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.... And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion." - George Washington
Principle 5 - All things were created by God, therefore upon him all mankind are equally dependent, and to him they are equally responsible .
The American Founding Fathers considered the existence of the Creator as the most fundamental premise underlying all self-evident truth. They felt a person who boasted he or she was an atheist had just simply failed to apply his or her divine capacity for reason and observation.
Principle 6 - All mankind were created equal.
The Founders knew that in these three ways, all mankind are theoretically treated as:
1. Equal before God.
2. Equal before the law.
3. Equal in their rights.
Principle 7 - The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things.
The Founders recognized that the people cannot delegate to their government any power except that which they have the lawful right to exercise themselves.
Principle 8 - Mankind are endowed by God with certain unalienable rights.
"Those rights, then, which God and nature have established, and are therefore called natural rights, such as are life and liberty, need not the aid of human laws to be more effectually invested in every man than they are; neither do they receive any additional strength when declared by the municipal [or state] laws to be inviolable. On the contrary, no human legislation has power to abridge or destroy them, unless the owner [of the right] shall himself commit some act that amounts to a forfeiture." - William Blackstone
Principle 9 - To protect human rights, God has revealed a code of divine law.
"The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the Holy Scriptures. These precepts, when revealed, are found by comparison to be really a part of the original law of nature, as they tend in all their consequences to man's felicity." - William Blackstone
Principle 10 - The God-given right to govern is vested in the sovereign authority of the whole people.
"The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of the consent of the people. The streams of national power ought to flow immediately from that pure, original fountain of all legislative authority." - Alexander Hamilton
Principle 11 - The majority of the people may alter or abolish a government which has become tyrannical.
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ... but when a long train of abuses and usurpations ... evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." - Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence
Principle 12 - The United States of America shall be a republic.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands...."
Principle 13 - A Constitution should protect the people from the frailties of their rulers.
"If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.... [But lacking these] you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." - James Madison
Principle 14 - Life and liberty are secure only so long as the rights of property are secure .
John Locke reasoned that God gave the earth and everything in it to the whole human family as a gift. Therefore the land, the sea, the acorns in the forest, the deer feeding in the meadow belong to everyone "in common." However, the moment someone takes the trouble to change something from its original state of nature, that person has added his ingenuity or labor to make that change. Herein lies the secret to the origin of "property rights."
Principle 15 - The highest level of prosperity occurs when there is a free-market economy and a minimum of government regulations.
Prosperity depends upon a climate of wholesome stimulation with four basic freedoms in operation:
1. The Freedom to try.
2. The Freedom to buy.
3. The Freedom to sell.
4. The Freedom to fail.
Principle 16 - The government should be separated into three branches .
"I call you to witness that I was the first member of the Congress who ventured to come out in public, as I did in January 1776, in my Thoughts on Government ... in favor of a government with three branches and an independent judiciary. This pamphlet, you know, was very unpopular. No man appeared in public to support it but yourself." - John Adams
Principle 17 - A system of checks and balances should be adopted to prevent the abuse of power by the different branches of government.
"It will not be denied that power is of an encroaching nature and that it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it." - James Madison
Principle 18 - The unalienable rights of the people are most likely to be preserved if the principles of government are set forth in a written Constitution.
The structure of the American system is set forth in the Constitution of the United States and the only weaknesses which have appeared are those which were allowed to creep in despite the Constitution.
Principle 19 - Only limited and carefully defined powers should be delegated to government, all others being retained by the people.
The Tenth Amendment is the most widely violated provision of the bill of rights. If it had been respected and enforced America would be an amazingly different country than it is today. This amendment provides:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Principle 20 - Efficiency and dispatch require that the government operate according to the will of the majority, but constitutional provisions must be made to protect the rights of the minority.
"Every man, by consenting with others to make one body politic under one government, puts himself under an obligation to every one of that society to submit to the determination of the majority, and to be concluded [bound] by it." - John Locke
Principle 21 - Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom.
"The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent [to perform best]. - Thomas Jefferson
Principle 22 - A free people should be governed by law and not by the whims of men.
"The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings, capable of laws, where there is no law there is no freedom. For liberty is to be free from restraint and violence of others, which cannot be where there is no law." - John Locke
Principle 23 - A free society cannot survive as a republic without a broad program of general education.
"They made an early provision by law that every town consisting of so many families should be always furnished with a grammar school. They made it a crime for such a town to be destitute of a grammar schoolmaster for a few months, and subjected it to a heavy penalty. So that the education of all ranks of people was made the care and expense of the public, in a manner that I believe has been unknown to any other people, ancient or modern. The consequences of these establishments we see and feel every day [written in 1765]. A native of America who cannot read and write is as rare ... as a comet or an earthquake." John Adams
Principle 24 - A free people will not survive unless they stay strong.
"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." - George Washington
Principle 25 - "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations -- entangling alliances with none."- Thomas Jefferson, given in his first inaugural address.
Principle 26 - The core unit which determines the strength of any society is the family; therefore the government should foster and protect its integrity.
"There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of marriage is more respected than in America, or where conjugal happiness is more highly or worthily appreciated." Alexis de Tocqueville
Principle 27 - The burden of debt is as destructive to human freedom as subjugation by conquest.
"We are bound to defray expenses [of the war] within our own time, and are unauthorized to burden posterity with them.... We shall all consider ourselves morally bound to pay them ourselves and consequently within the life [expectancy] of the majority." - Thomas Jefferson
Principle 28 - The United States has a manifest destiny to eventually become a glorious example of God's law under a restored Constitution that will inspire the entire human race.
The Founders sensed from the very beginning that they were on a divine mission. Their great disappointment was that it didn't all come to pass in their day, but they knew that someday it would. John Adams wrote:
"I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in Providence for the illumination of the ignorant, and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth."

Chrysler Bankrupt ...
The UAW owns 55%. So, when they come up for contract renewal, who are they going to negoiate with? Themselves? What a joke.
And when Obama says bankruptcy doesn't mean the company is weak, what planet does he REALLY come from?
I doubt that Fiat and Chrysler togather could do more than continue the rolling death parade of pitifully managed suckers off Obama's federal tit.

EU Warns Against Travel to USA
LUXEMBOURG - The European Union's health commissioner urged Europeans on Monday to postpone nonessential travel to the United States or Mexico due to swine flu.
She told reporters "they should avoid traveling to Mexico or the United States of America unless it is very urgent for them." (AP)
As one can only image that Japan will quickly fall into lockstep, I feel sorry for the folks in Hawaii who will likely see lots of empty rooms this season.

World War III (aka The 2013 People's Action to Recover Stolen Assets)
(The story is just an outline and draft. It has not been researched for details as yet, thus organizations and legal terms are not as they should be.)
Part I:
This story begins on March 31st, 2012 with the announcement that the US government will miss the next payment on its debt for the first time in 100 years bringing stories of immanent financial collapse and bankruptcy. The Treasury sharply scolded its critics for fear mongering.
1st of April 2013: April Fool's Day in America, many thought the Bank of China was on a fool's quest when it went before the World Court today to seek redress. It asked the Court to declare the US in involuntary bankruptcy and to allow the Bank to begin foreclosure proceedings.
Yesterday, the US Treasury missed its third payment on foreign debt and it was warning domestic bond holders that payment on all government bonds would be delayed "for the foreseeable future".
At the same time, with China holding nearly all America's foreign federal debt - through its corporations it also holds a good chunk of US domestic bonds. You will recall that the Bank of China bought all the US debt held by a seriously economically depressed Japan at an excellent rate. Many say a "charity" gift to keep the Japanese from slipping into abject poverty - caused ironically enough by the firm grip Chinese manufacturers have on the American market. It seemed like a terrible investment to most at the time and recent news merely confirms it.
"China bought and paid for the 'SS America' and is going down with it!" declared the Times. Most news reporters and financial analysts scoffed and accused the Chinese of grandstanding and gloating as even if the US went belly up there was very little that could be done by any country and with China holding the bag, it would be the one to suffer by far the most. The Times reporter asked the Bank attorney, "what are you going to do, put a 'auction' sign on the White House?"
The Treasury chided the Bank of China and in a statement saying that due to the Chinese hold on the American market it would always make a profit, so it should just write off the debt and start with a fresh slate.
When asked about this in Beijing, the Bank spokesman made clear that the Bank bought and held securities based on trust and that if the US took such a cavalier attitude toward debt, why didn't if forgive African and Latin American debt so easily?
1st of June 2013: Attorneys for the Bank of China made their final argument before the Court and asked the Court to rule giving the Bank authority to foreclose and seize assets.
The US did not represent itself in front of the Court and refused to recognize the authority of the Court in internal domestic matters. The Court announced that it would rule in seven to ten days.
On the 3rd of June, at a meeting of the General Assembly in New York, the Chinese delegate brought a surprise motion before the body asking the members to support a foreclosure action against the assets held by the American government. China was seeking amicus support to bring before the Court. The vote was nearly unanimous in favor, with Great Britain and Japan abstaining. The US representative voted against the measure of course.
Immediately after winning the support of the UN, the Bank warned that it would seek arrest warrants against US government officials and detention of all those outside of the United States. This left open the possibility that all Americans traveling abroad could be held if the Court rules in the Bank's favor in the coming weeks.
The 7Th of June 2013: China is launching an ambitious 3-satellite rocket into orbit tomorrow. With its new found economic dominance after the unprecedented worldwide recession caused by American bank and stock fraud foisted upon an unsuspecting and trusting world, Chinese factories are humming once again and Chinese flagged super cargo ships are sailing to ports across the Pacific.
In business news the Chinese government announced that due to the ever increasing and overwhelming debt the US owes China, it will continue to give deep discounts to its good friends, the American people, for as long as necessary.
Even though American businesses complain that they cannot compete at what they say are artificially low prices, ever since China bought GM, nearly all autos in America as well as most modern appliances have been manufactured in China and sold at prices no consumer could resist; they also own dozens of major corporations and thousands of hectors of private property. The American congress is in no position to complain.
Also in the news there were some concerns voiced by the Pentagon that there has been an unprecedented amount of activity around the coast of Taiwan lately by Chinese Coast Guard vessels. Taiwan TV seems to be unable to cover this event due to a cut in its main underwater transmission cables possibly due to unusual seismic disturbances. The US Geological Service doesn't think its caused by earthquakes but from something of an explosive nature, perhaps volcanic. The Chinese Coast Guard said it was checking reports and making enquiries in the area.
The evening 9th of June 2013: Peking announced that in the first stage of a repossession of assets, the successful launch of a rocket carrying three nuclear satellites intended to detonate over predetermined points above the United States. While not designed to do any real damage, as such, or cause direct casualties, they were intended to emit EM pulses which shut down all electrically charged devices. This initial police action was successful. A spokesman for the Bank of China said that this was the equivalent of marshals breaking down the door to evict squatters.
At the same time in the afternoon of the 9th of June 2013: The Governor of the Bank of China received a positive ruling and submitted foreclosure papers demanding immediate search and seizure action to the World Court in the Hague. The Chinese Bank Governor complained that the US was long in default on payments and the Bank had asked the People's Army to act as "marshal" in a foreclosure action. The Bank's Governor lamented, "We even charged them less than market value over several years to give them the opportunity to save and repay debts in a timely manner. But did they? No. You would think that as a government that expounds such high moral values to others they would cut back and be more prudent in their ways. They just spent and borrowed more and more. What can you do with people like that? You’d think they were addicts the way they stole our money and spent it. We just HAD to put a stop to it!" The Bank's Governor, who came in person to receive the ruling, justified the 5:00AM (Washington time) raid that cut the lights and public services to its American properties.
He was expecting to win the case before the Court but was pleasantly surprised that the overwhelming majority of the Court was supportive.
Later at the court, the court ordered the arrest and detention of the parties responsible for the uncontrolled waste of the world's assets through printing and spending money they did not actually have assets to cover.
American leaders and representatives were ordered to submit to World Court authorities within 24 hours and all gun carrying residents of the assets, including but not limited to, security guards, police and military were ordered to surrender the assets in their possession to the court appointed marshals at the nearest collection point to their location. For American's located in the territories of other nations or on the high seas, such nations or the nearest nation had the right to seize the assets and debtors as partial payment of arrears owed them.
Meanwhile, nuclear aircraft carrier battle groups in the Pacific were reported subdued by long range tactical missiles.
The Russian government indicated that, while taking a neutral position in the Chinese "foreclosure" action against the US for non payment of its huge arrears, it does hope the People's Republic remembers that the US is in debt to many countries and when possession is taken, an equal distribution of assets should be made. At the same time, the UN in Geneva praised the Marshal of the People's Army for his minimum use of force against innocent parties.
The 13th of June: San Francisco and San Pedro. A number of Chinese cargo ships have arrived in port off loading Chinese peace keepers and asset surveyors from the newly created "People's Ministry of External Asset Management".
The Assistant Governor of the Bank of China expressed his regret that so many innocent foreign nationals are suffering due to the shutdown of the transport and electrical services but said, "when you stay in the home of criminals who don't pay their bills, you do have to expect the lights to go off."
Russian and European reporters accompanying the foreclosure team asked the governor what will happen to the Americans. He said, that while it was unfortunate in the short term that, as criminals, they would have to work off their debt in various labor areas, in the end everyone would be much better off when the debt is paid.
The French reporter asked how long they expected the Americans to be in debt, the Governor said he wasn't really sure because, while the seized physical assets would go a long way, there was a lot of clean up to do as well as the necessary expenses of maintaining the debtors everyday life. "Perhaps a hundred or so years, we'll have to see," the Governor stated. "The estimate is about $75,000 per person of debt owed the Bank of China. This is, of course not including foreclosure and legal expenses. In addition, it is based on a 400 million population figure, but as you can see, real figures expected to work off the debt are very much smaller."
The 17th of June: Representatives of the World Court and World Bank flew into Washington DC this afternoon to arrest the president and government leaders. They are charged with malfeasance and massive fraud.
There are reams of paper being seized by World Bank auditors under the supervision of marshals as evidence in the largest ponzi scheme ever imagined in the history of intergovernmental relations.
The Chinese government bitterly complained that there was no possible way the US assets seized could cover its debts. "If we had allowed this massive swindle of the world's trust to continue, how could we ever have a world market free of corruption. Americans should be put at hard labor for ten generations to cover this debt and the suffering they have caused the people of the world!" the Bank Governor exclaimed before the assembled reporters.
All holders of American passports and birth certificates were ordered arrested and held for trial as co-conspirators and accessories to the crime.
(the story continues) (My wife says I need a love story - any suggestions?)
-- (fast forward)
America on the Auction Block
The territory of the former government of the United States has been divided into 50 biddable lots. Each lot corresponds to a former state. Each territory will, henceforth, be referred to by its lot number. For example, California is now Lot 23a (northern) and Lot 23b (southern). This lot was divided due to Mexico's claim that in the foreclosure process much of its territory and citizens were damaged or inconvenienced and its application for compensation is before the Court for review. It is expected to be approved.
In addition to Mexico, Canada claimed compensation as well; being so closely neighbored to the initial police action, substantial damage was inflicted on the people and territory. In compensation, Canada was awarded Lot 1 (Alaska).
It is expected that bids will be accepted between April and December 1 of 2016. This will give interested parties time to inspect the properties. Each party should be aware that Lots are “as is”. They will be completely cleared of the former occupants prior to possession. This is the primary reason for the delay.

Part I:
This story begins on March 31st, 2012 with the announcement that the US government will miss the next payment on its debt for the first time in 100 years bringing stories of immanent financial collapse and bankruptcy. The Treasury sharply scolded its critics for fear mongering.
1st of April 2013: April Fool's Day in America, many thought the Bank of China was on a fool's quest when it went before the World Court today to seek redress. It asked the Court to declare the US in involuntary bankruptcy and to allow the Bank to begin foreclosure proceedings.
Yesterday, the US Treasury missed its third payment on foreign debt and it was warning domestic bond holders that payment on all government bonds would be delayed "for the foreseeable future".
At the same time, with China holding nearly all America's foreign federal debt - through its corporations it also holds a good chunk of US domestic bonds. You will recall that the Bank of China bought all the US debt held by a seriously economically depressed Japan at an excellent rate. Many say a "charity" gift to keep the Japanese from slipping into abject poverty - caused ironically enough by the firm grip Chinese manufacturers have on the American market. It seemed like a terrible investment to most at the time and recent news merely confirms it.
"China bought and paid for the 'SS America' and is going down with it!" declared the Times. Most news reporters and financial analysts scoffed and accused the Chinese of grandstanding and gloating as even if the US went belly up there was very little that could be done by any country and with China holding the bag, it would be the one to suffer by far the most. The Times reporter asked the Bank attorney, "what are you going to do, put a 'auction' sign on the White House?"
The Treasury chided the Bank of China and in a statement saying that due to the Chinese hold on the American market it would always make a profit, so it should just write off the debt and start with a fresh slate.
When asked about this in Beijing, the Bank spokesman made clear that the Bank bought and held securities based on trust and that if the US took such a cavalier attitude toward debt, why didn't if forgive African and Latin American debt so easily?
1st of June 2013: Attorneys for the Bank of China made their final argument before the Court and asked the Court to rule giving the Bank authority to foreclose and seize assets.
The US did not represent itself in front of the Court and refused to recognize the authority of the Court in internal domestic matters. The Court announced that it would rule in seven to ten days.
On the 3rd of June, at a meeting of the General Assembly in New York, the Chinese delegate brought a surprise motion before the body asking the members to support a foreclosure action against the assets held by the American government. China was seeking amicus support to bring before the Court. The vote was nearly unanimous in favor, with Great Britain and Japan abstaining. The US representative voted against the measure of course.
Immediately after winning the support of the UN, the Bank warned that it would seek arrest warrants against US government officials and detention of all those outside of the United States. This left open the possibility that all Americans traveling abroad could be held if the Court rules in the Bank's favor in the coming weeks.
The 7Th of June 2013: China is launching an ambitious 3-satellite rocket into orbit tomorrow. With its new found economic dominance after the unprecedented worldwide recession caused by American bank and stock fraud foisted upon an unsuspecting and trusting world, Chinese factories are humming once again and Chinese flagged super cargo ships are sailing to ports across the Pacific.
In business news the Chinese government announced that due to the ever increasing and overwhelming debt the US owes China, it will continue to give deep discounts to its good friends, the American people, for as long as necessary.
Even though American businesses complain that they cannot compete at what they say are artificially low prices, ever since China bought GM, nearly all autos in America as well as most modern appliances have been manufactured in China and sold at prices no consumer could resist; they also own dozens of major corporations and thousands of hectors of private property. The American congress is in no position to complain.
Also in the news there were some concerns voiced by the Pentagon that there has been an unprecedented amount of activity around the coast of Taiwan lately by Chinese Coast Guard vessels. Taiwan TV seems to be unable to cover this event due to a cut in its main underwater transmission cables possibly due to unusual seismic disturbances. The US Geological Service doesn't think its caused by earthquakes but from something of an explosive nature, perhaps volcanic. The Chinese Coast Guard said it was checking reports and making enquiries in the area.
The evening 9th of June 2013: Peking announced that in the first stage of a repossession of assets, the successful launch of a rocket carrying three nuclear satellites intended to detonate over predetermined points above the United States. While not designed to do any real damage, as such, or cause direct casualties, they were intended to emit EM pulses which shut down all electrically charged devices. This initial police action was successful. A spokesman for the Bank of China said that this was the equivalent of marshals breaking down the door to evict squatters.
At the same time in the afternoon of the 9th of June 2013: The Governor of the Bank of China received a positive ruling and submitted foreclosure papers demanding immediate search and seizure action to the World Court in the Hague. The Chinese Bank Governor complained that the US was long in default on payments and the Bank had asked the People's Army to act as "marshal" in a foreclosure action. The Bank's Governor lamented, "We even charged them less than market value over several years to give them the opportunity to save and repay debts in a timely manner. But did they? No. You would think that as a government that expounds such high moral values to others they would cut back and be more prudent in their ways. They just spent and borrowed more and more. What can you do with people like that? You’d think they were addicts the way they stole our money and spent it. We just HAD to put a stop to it!" The Bank's Governor, who came in person to receive the ruling, justified the 5:00AM (Washington time) raid that cut the lights and public services to its American properties.
He was expecting to win the case before the Court but was pleasantly surprised that the overwhelming majority of the Court was supportive.
Later at the court, the court ordered the arrest and detention of the parties responsible for the uncontrolled waste of the world's assets through printing and spending money they did not actually have assets to cover.
American leaders and representatives were ordered to submit to World Court authorities within 24 hours and all gun carrying residents of the assets, including but not limited to, security guards, police and military were ordered to surrender the assets in their possession to the court appointed marshals at the nearest collection point to their location. For American's located in the territories of other nations or on the high seas, such nations or the nearest nation had the right to seize the assets and debtors as partial payment of arrears owed them.
Meanwhile, nuclear aircraft carrier battle groups in the Pacific were reported subdued by long range tactical missiles.
The Russian government indicated that, while taking a neutral position in the Chinese "foreclosure" action against the US for non payment of its huge arrears, it does hope the People's Republic remembers that the US is in debt to many countries and when possession is taken, an equal distribution of assets should be made. At the same time, the UN in Geneva praised the Marshal of the People's Army for his minimum use of force against innocent parties.
The 13th of June: San Francisco and San Pedro. A number of Chinese cargo ships have arrived in port off loading Chinese peace keepers and asset surveyors from the newly created "People's Ministry of External Asset Management".
The Assistant Governor of the Bank of China expressed his regret that so many innocent foreign nationals are suffering due to the shutdown of the transport and electrical services but said, "when you stay in the home of criminals who don't pay their bills, you do have to expect the lights to go off."
Russian and European reporters accompanying the foreclosure team asked the governor what will happen to the Americans. He said, that while it was unfortunate in the short term that, as criminals, they would have to work off their debt in various labor areas, in the end everyone would be much better off when the debt is paid.
The French reporter asked how long they expected the Americans to be in debt, the Governor said he wasn't really sure because, while the seized physical assets would go a long way, there was a lot of clean up to do as well as the necessary expenses of maintaining the debtors everyday life. "Perhaps a hundred or so years, we'll have to see," the Governor stated. "The estimate is about $75,000 per person of debt owed the Bank of China. This is, of course not including foreclosure and legal expenses. In addition, it is based on a 400 million population figure, but as you can see, real figures expected to work off the debt are very much smaller."
The 17th of June: Representatives of the World Court and World Bank flew into Washington DC this afternoon to arrest the president and government leaders. They are charged with malfeasance and massive fraud.
There are reams of paper being seized by World Bank auditors under the supervision of marshals as evidence in the largest ponzi scheme ever imagined in the history of intergovernmental relations.
The Chinese government bitterly complained that there was no possible way the US assets seized could cover its debts. "If we had allowed this massive swindle of the world's trust to continue, how could we ever have a world market free of corruption. Americans should be put at hard labor for ten generations to cover this debt and the suffering they have caused the people of the world!" the Bank Governor exclaimed before the assembled reporters.
All holders of American passports and birth certificates were ordered arrested and held for trial as co-conspirators and accessories to the crime.

America on the Auction Block
The territory of the former government of the United States has been divided into 50 biddable lots. Each lot corresponds to a former state. Each territory will, henceforth, be referred to by its lot number. For example, California is now Lot 23a (northern) and Lot 23b (southern). This lot was divided due to Mexico's claim that in the foreclosure process much of its territory and citizens were damaged or inconvenienced and its application for compensation is before the Court for review. It is expected to be approved.
In addition to Mexico, Canada claimed compensation as well; being so closely neighbored to the initial police action, substantial damage was inflicted on the people and territory. In compensation, Canada was awarded Lot 1 (Alaska).
It is expected that bids will be accepted between April and December 1 of 2016. This will give interested parties time to inspect the properties. Each party should be aware that Lots are “as is”. They will be completely cleared of the former occupants prior to possession. This is the primary reason for the delay.
