ROYALTY, ROTHSCHILDS AND GOLDSMITHS

Annabel Goldsmith, Zac Goldsmith, Jemima Khan (nee Goldsmith). Zac and Jemima have a brother Ben who is married to Kate Rothschild.

"Jacob Rothschild's hospitality to Camilla is legendary.

"He gives her and her sister the run of his estate in Corfu and the yacht has always been at her disposal."

But, reportedly, Jacob Rothschild is now taking the side of Lady Annabel Goldsmith, who was not invited to William's wedding.

On 1 May 2011, we learn more about the reported split between Camilla, wife of Prince Charles, and Lady Annabel Goldsmith, who was a friend of Princess Diana.

(ROYAL WEDDING: 'Those are not heir-bearing hips are they?'.)

Camilla's family has links to Lady Annabel Goldsmith's family.

Camilla's brother, Mark Shand, is married to Clio Goldsmith, daughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, Lady Annabel’s brother-in-law.

A source close to the Goldsmiths is quoted in the Mail on Sunday as saying: "There is no better networker or hostess than Annabel but if you cross her, there is no turning back."

Jacob Rothschild is reported to have sided with Annabel.

Jacob Rothschild's niece Kate is married to Lady Annabel's son, Ben.

According to the source: "Jacob Rothschild’s hospitality to Camilla is legendary. He gives her and her sister the run of his estate in Corfu and the yacht has always been at her disposal.

"Annabel is a dangerous enemy to have."

Carole Middleton, nee Carole Goldsmith, mother of Kate Middleton.

Jemima Khan is the daughter of Lady Annabel.

In 2010, Jemima Khan tweeted:

Kate Middleton – those are not heir-bearing hips are they? Unfeasibly narrow.

According to the Mail on Sunday's source: "Charles and Camilla didn’t approve.

"Camilla especially is very fond and protective of Kate.

"They don’t think much of Jemima Khan’s public backing of Julian Assange either."

Jemima Khan tweeted during William's wedding: "No offence to Camilla, but I'd have preferred - out of respect - that no one had substituted for the mother of the groom at the register signing."

The Rothschilds and British Royalty

"In 1809, we find the Royal Dukes, brothers of George IV, doing what common people would then generally refrain from doing.

"We find the Jew Abraham Goldsmid, the same who helped to finance the French Revolution acting as host to the Duke of Cambridge, whilst the latter, with the Duke of Cumberland, used to visit Nathan Rothschild in his Piccadilly home.

"The Prince Regent arranged payments of borrowed money to the Elector of Hesse-Cassel through Nathan’s hands."

The Biggest Secret - Chapter 18

"Goldsmith, formerly Goldschmidt, ... served the Brotherhood by launching the Referendum Party in Britain to hijack the anti-European Union opposition and lead it to failure.

"It also split the Conservative vote in key constituencies which helped the Brotherhood choice, Tony Blair, to become Prime Minister.

"Part of this strategy involved the former Conservative Party Treasurer... Lord McAlpine, making a very public transfer to Goldsmith’s party and he later became its leader.

"Goldsmith's elder brother Edward, 'Teddy', founded The Ecologist magazine and has connections with the WWF."

Russell Targ is controversial.

According to Targ:

"Heaven and Hell are available for the asking, but no experience can take place in our lives except in our consciousness...

"A master told his student: 'You don’t have to look for God. God is here now.'" -

Targ worked for the CIA.

Targ's work for the CIA involved 'remote viewing' (eg. seeing into the future)

According to the Washington Post of August 7, 1977, top 'Scientologists' were at one time in charge of all Remote Viewing and other related CIA mind control operations at Stanford Research Institute under the auspices of CIA MK-ULTRA.

(See the Washington Post article of August 7, 1977, Psychic Spying? by John L. Wilhelm regarding the connection between the Stanford Research Institute, CIA mind control operations via MK-ULTRA and the Church of Scientology.)

On 7 September 2007, the Independent (Ireland) produced an article entitled: A Murky Question, by Declan Lynch

(The Mail also covered the story. Were Diana and Jemima sisters? Mail Online)

Acording to Declan Lynch:



Princess Diana's father was Sir James Goldsmith.



Sir James was the son of Frank Goldsmith, the descendant of a Jewish banking family from Frankfurt.

(Obituary: Sir James Goldsmith - People, News - The Independent)

According to Declan Lynch:



The "Goldsmith" version "had been circulating in aristocratic circles for a long time."



Officially, Diana was the daughter of the Earl Spencer and Frances Shand Kydd.



Sources have long maintained that Goldsmith was conducting an affair with Frances around the time that Diana was conceived.



Nobody denies that the affair took place, "at a time when Frances was deeply unhappy in her marriage to the Earl, who was 'drinking heavily' and 'being beastly towards her'".



Tina Brown, author of The Diana Chronicle, suggests it was a long-running affair.



In Brown's version, there is strong support for the idea of Goldsmith being the father of Lady Diana, though she can't prove it.

MARRAKECH BOMB - INSIDE JOB?

People of Marrrakech

A website has accused friends of Morroco's King Mohammed VI of being behind the bombing in Marrakech.

The website Hibapress accuses Mounir Majidi, the king's secretary, and WFP (Authenticity and Modernity Party) boss Fouad Ali El Himma of being behind the attack in Marrakesh.

And, according to political exile Abdelillah Issou, the Moroccan regime wants to create 'a state of siege.'

The bomb gives the rich elite an excuse to clamp down on opponents of the regime?

(Marrakech : Les théories de la conspiration commencent Demain - [ Translate this page ])

There are conflicting reports about what happened in the bombing in Morocco.

The bomb in Marrakesh that killed 16 people "was set off by a remote-control device", according to Morrocan Interior minister Taeb Cherkaoui.

"The explosion was set off from a distance," Mr Cherkaoui told parliament in Rabat. (Al Qaeda suspected in Marrakesh bombing )

Marrakech

The news portal Lakome.com had said that the bomb was a suicide attack.

They also said that the bomber had been freed from prison two months ago after having been sentenced to eight years in jail for rape.

(Marrakesh bomb blast: Briton among 16 killed in terrorist attack ...‎)

Two of the dead are "Michal Zekry, 29, an Israeli-Canadian who was pregnant, and her husband, Messod Wizman, 30, a Moroccan-Canadian." (Fatal Bomb in Morocco Shows Signs of Al Qaeda )

A third Jewish victim was "British travel writer Peter Moss" who used to work for the Jewish Chronicle.

(Briton named as victim of Morocco bombing)

The bombers had to get through police controls to attack the square, which is well protected.

"They were surely well organized and significantly trained, " said Jean-Yves Moisseron, editor of Maghreb-Machrek. (Fatal Bomb in Morocco Shows Signs of Al Qaeda)

Secretary of State Al Jaeger said Friday the initiative had enough petition signatures to qualify for the June 2012 primary election. It will be listed as Measure 2.

The amendment says North Dakota and its local governments may not impose property taxes after Jan. 1. It says the Legislature will have to figure out a way to provide replacement revenue to cities, counties and other local governments.

Governor Brown Tells Cheering California Unions "You've Got a Friend"

As payback to the teachers', police, prison, and firefighters' unions largely responsible for his election, socialist Governor Jerry Brown vows to pick the pockets of California taxpayers, and tells cheering unions "You've Got a Friend".

Bloomberg reports, Brown May Take $11 Billion California Tax Extension to Voters

California Governor Jerry Brown said he’s willing to gather signatures for a voter initiative to extend $11 billion in expiring tax increases, blocked by Republican lawmakers, in order to balance the state’s budget.

“We are going to put it before the people one way or another,” the 73-year-old Democrat said in an interview.

The governor worked with lawmakers to reduce the $26.6 billion budget shortfall to about $15 billion through cuts to health care, education and other programs.

The linchpin of his plan would fill $11 billion of the remaining gap by getting voter approval of a five-year extension of tax and fee increases due to expire by July 1. The proposal fell short when Republican lawmakers withheld support.

Brown has since been traveling up and down California, the most populous state, trying to persuade at least two Republicans each in the Senate and Assembly to change positions, which would be enough to allow a vote.

The governor wants to retain increases of 0.25 percentage point in personal income-tax rates; 1 percentage point in the retail-sales levy, to 8.25 percent; 0.5 percentage point in auto-registration fees, to 1.15 percent of a vehicle’s value; and a reduction in the annual child tax credit to $99 from $309.

Brown got a standing ovation yesterday at the California State Parent Teacher Association’s convention in Long Beach when he said he would not support reduced spending on schools.

“I want you to know you’ve got a friend, an ally and a partner as we go forward together,” he said. Leaving the podium, he held up a sign he was handed that read, “Cuts Hurt Kids.”

Unions Hurt Kids

Cuts won't hurt kids, but unions sure do. Via tactics of coercion, bribery, and threats, unions have achieved enormous power for their own self-serving mission, to the detriment of everyone but the politicians whose votes they buy.

Here are a couple of YouTube videos to consider. I could easily come up with dozens more.

Give up the Bucks



Link if the above video does not play: Give Up the Bucks

SEIU Spokesperson Threatening California Lawmakers with Union Retaliation



Link if the above video does not play: SEIU Retaliation

As I have pointed out many times, union rules prevent firing of horrendous teachers, act to block charter schools and home teaching, and union seniority rules hurt the neediest schools the most.

Not a single teacher need lose their job if there are cuts. All that needs to happen is for public service pay and benefits to be brought in line with that of the private sector.

Instead, Brown wants to hike taxes, including sales taxes and reduce child credits. Some of his proposed measures will fall disproportionally on those who can least afford it.

In effect, socialist Brown wants to rob everyone for the benefits of overpaid, underworked, and over-pampered unions who already receive pay, benefits, and job guarantees that make most in the private sector envious.

Brown is no friend of California.

Emma Watson: The new Queen of England

What a nice calculated move on Emma's part to come out on the day of the big Royal Wedding to deny she was bullied out of Brown. She did the same sort of thing on the day Elizabeth Taylor died. is this a statement released just to get it out there but bury it under the Royal Wedding or is she trying to take some spotlight away from the Royal Wedding which is quite huge at the moment? Probably not but still you ddecide to speak out this day?  Don't worry Emma I actually believe you. I also believe you quit Brown for Perks and Lancome.

She's speaking to her royal subjects.

From emmawatson.com April 29th, 2011 "I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown. This '10 points to Gryffindor' incident never even happened. I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair." She went on to say "Please don't try and speculate about what I might do in September - no one can possibly know because I don't even know yet! Like my other fellow Brown students I am trying to figure out my third year and whether or not I will spend it abroad (this is common)."

Umm, this is common? Nope. What is common for "fellow Brown students" is to stay at the University to get an education because that's the reason they went there in the first place and not a place to oh say, "Re-invent yourself" or go on extended "holiday" to mingle with the commoners. Plus signing big modeling contracts and later cosmetic and perfume companies don't help much either and that's not common for "fellow Brown students." They don't have millions in the bank to toy with or have the desire to toy with their education like some actress seem to be doing. Some of them are on scholarship. They had to get there by working hard in the classroom instead of being home schooled and coddled. They didn't use their money and famous name to gain admittance. Hmm, I wonder what student was denied Brown because Emma Watson took their place? 

UPDATE JULY 7TH 2011

From thisislondon.co.uk jULY 7TH, 2011 

Rumours of bullying are far wide of the mark, she stresses; US students often spend their third years abroad). She is playing hard to get with casting directors and there will be no acting after she completes the US indie film, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, her first post-Potter role. "I will be focusing solely on my studies. People were very respectful at Brown of my privacy - and I just hope that will be the same at home." She hopes to live in college and may even do student drama, "if it feels right".

Underwater Mortgages a Threat to Recovery; Expect No More Than 3% Growth Until Housing Recovers

In a Technical Note on GDP Bloomberg reports "First quarter Advance Real GDP Real GDP increased 1.8 percent (annual rate) in the first quarter of 2011, following an increase of 3.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010. The deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter reflected a sharp upturn in imports, a deceleration in consumer spending, a larger decrease in federal government spending, and decelerations in nonresidential fixed investment and in exports that were partly offset by a sharp upturn in inventory investment."

Underwater Mortgages a Threat to Recovery

Given the renewed housing bust what might one expect going forward?

A senior economist for Wells Fargo believes it is unreasonable to expect more than 3% growth going forward as long as housing remains deeply underwater.

Please consider Phoenix’s Underwater Mortgages Show Weakness in Housing Threatens Recovery

One year ago, there were signs that housing was healing; new home sales were up and prices rising. Now, new home sales are below levels hit at the depth of the recession two years ago, and 23 percent of all borrowers -- more than 11 million homeowners -- owe lenders more than their homes are worth. The renewed weakness is keeping a lid on consumer confidence, consumption and growth.

“It keeps the recovery from being all that strong,” says Mark Vitner, senior economist for Wells Fargo Securities in Charlotte, North Carolina. “We don’t see how the economy can get above 3 percent growth, except for a short period of time, with housing being so deeply underwater,” he said.

In the 18 months after the recession ended in June of 2009, the economy grew at an average annual rate of 3 percent a quarter. A survey of economists by Bloomberg News produced a median forecast that growth slowed to a 2 percent rate in the first quarter of this year, not enough to ease the nation’s unemployment crisis.
Further Declines Seen

Further home-price declines this year -- expected by analysts such as Robert Shiller of Yale University -- would push several million more Americans into negative equity. Home prices dropped 5.7 percent in February from year-earlier levels, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the fourth consecutive month of backsliding.

Homeowners who are underwater may be slower to relocate for employment, leaving job-poor markets clogged with surplus workers. Would-be entrepreneurs are unable to tap their non- existent home equity for start-up cash, meaning some good ideas for new businesses never get off the ground.

Most of all, millions of homeowners who have seen their principal asset melt in value are in no mood to spend. During the easy money days last decade, rising home prices helped power the American economy. From 2000 to 2005, homeowners funded about 3 percent of annual consumption spending by borrowing against the equity in their homes, according to a 2007 paper by Alan Greenspan, then-chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.

Misplaced Blame

The Bloomberg article provides many anecdotes, primarily in the Phoenix area, highlighting enormous mistakes people made and how frugality has become the norm for many in response.

The article also depicts the brutally misguided rant of Les Meyers, 74, a real estate agent who moved to Phoenix, personally over-leveraged real estate investments and went bankrupt.

Unsurprisingly, Meyers blames Wall Street for the fact he bought a $330,000 home, put another $70,000 in it then sold it in a short sale for $229,000.

In 2005, Meyers says he made about $300,000. This year, having returned to his roots as a real estate salesman, he’ll be lucky to make $35,000. He filed earlier this month for personal bankruptcy. “We’re starting over. We don’t have a nickel of any asset other than a car my wife owns,” he says.

The experience has left him bitter and broke. Meyers blames “thieves” on Wall Street who have corrupted the political system and left homeowners stripped of their principal asset.

Wall Street Greed or Leverage and Greed?

I fail to see how one goes from making $300,000 in a single year to going bankrupt after spending $400,000 on a home.

Thus, there must be more to this story, and I suspect additional leverage on real estate.

At his age, Meyers should have been deleveraging risk, not plowing into it. Regardless of what the real story is, Meyers needs to look in the mirror and place blame squarely where it belongs.

Elephant in the Room

“The mortgage drag and negative equity? I think it’s a serious problem. It’s the elephant in everybody’s room and nobody quite knows what to do about it,” says Jim Lundy, chief executive of Alliance Bank of Arizona, an eight-year old business lender in Phoenix.

Walking Away Math

Those seriously underwater and walking away are making a wise decision. Those clinging on to belief that housing prices will quickly recover are mistaken.

By walking away, consumers shift part of their loss to the lenders. Those who ride it out, will need to scrimp and save for a decade, hoping to get not ahead (but simply to get back to the point of zero equity).

Effect on the Deficit

I seldom agree with mainstream economists, but in this case I side with Mark Vitner and his no more than 3% growth forecast, on a sustainable basis.

Should that be the case, the revenue projections of President Obama, Paul Ryan, and the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are all hopelessly optimistic with obvious implications on the deficit, on interest on the national debt, and on long-term interest rates as well.

Also bear in mind, that virtually no one has penciled in any recession for the next decade. I think it is near-certain another recession is coming.

and the baden jogger.

other than some anonymous flyers which appeared last year, this year the 2011 rapides parish sheriff's race has been mostly quiet up till now that elect william earl hilton sheriff signs began appearing around the parish.

for the past month or so, we've noticed by referral logs an increasing interest by googlers from around cenla and the state for any tidbit on the 2011 race.

this is seen in the many recent commentators in several of our threads from the 2007 sheriff election like these:

2011 RSPO Race commented on - we saw that...

Hilton is smiling all the way to the bank!!! He is no idiot, he knows how to raise money for elections. Not everyone donates by a check, he likes CASH. CASH for deputy position with benefits is a worth plenty of CASH!!! He failed during his last term as Sheriff, letting his blackmailer, Mike Slocum, take over the department. It was obivious he was supporting Slocum under duress. Our RSPO was held hostage because of his greed and fear of Slocum. They supported each other in public, but cussed each other in private. Our Parish is on the right track now, and the is no reason to open the door the corruption that follows Hilton and Slocum. WHy did Hilton have to buy 60 new police cars a year?? Sheriff Wagner has averaged about 10 new vehicles a year saving over $1,000,000 annually just there!

====

Keep Wagner Sheriff commented on - we saw that...:

I heard Slocum and Hilton both pocketed over $50,000 cash each in 2007 when they tried the flim flam to let Slocum run instead of Hilton because Hilton had made his contribution as Sheriff and was ready to retire and take it easy. Now that they know Slocum could never become Sheriff, Hilton is the front man in this year's flim flam to make it look more sensible. Wagner has a strong record as our Sheriff.. So understand that all the whispering and rumors that will be spread by Hilton supporters are lies, and don't be fooled. Fear is the greatest motivator to get someone to do something. The parish is better off financially than when Hilton was Sheriff and much safer! Sheriff Wagner has stepped up all services by his office on about $2 Million less in tax revenues due to the economy.

====

WE'RE BACK commented on - we saw that...:

You say hilton was good for a few years? He was sheriff alittle longer than a few years he ran the department right and was good to his people, he took care of us and we will take care of him. All of you ignorant people can keep tellin lies after lies but the truth will all come out in the end and when ya'll are cryin and wagners at home eating his pain pills and hugged up to his girlfriend i'll be sittin back laughin, o and il be getting my job back, YALL JUST COUNT DOWN THE DAYS BOYS WE ARE COMIN BACK..... - rapides parish sheriff's race: hilton strikes back

believe it or not, they're not all by the same person either. so do you know of any forums, websites, articles, documents, etc. focusing on the 2011 rapides parish sheriff election that might be of interest?

US Economic Confidence Sinks to 2011 Low; 55% Say Economy Still in Recession or Depression

A pair of recent Gallup Polls shows distinct loss of confidence in the US economy. The first poll shows Americans' Economic Confidence at the 2011 Low. A second poll shows 55% still think the economy is in a recession, or worse.

Please consider Americans' Economic Confidence Declines Further

Gallup's Economic Confidence Index dropped to -39 in the week ending April 24 -- a new weekly low for 2011. This continues a downward trend that began in mid-February. The current deterioration of confidence contrasts sharply with the improving trend found at this time a year ago.


click on chart for sharper image

Optimism About Economic Outlook Drops to 2011 Low

Slightly more than one in four Americans said the economy is "getting better" last week. This measure has been declining since mid-February, and is now at its 2011 low. Far fewer Americans currently feel the economy is improving than held that expectation a year ago, when 41% said things were getting better.



click on chart for sharper image

Just 12 months ago, economic confidence was improving and there was talk of "frugality fatigue." The U.S. saw a sharp spike in spending -- particularly among those with higher incomes -- during May 2010. Things were looking up for the nation's retailers and the economy as a whole until the debt crisis in Europe surfaced.

This year, economic confidence is going in the opposite direction. There is an increasing danger of stagflation as prices surge and the economy slows. As a result, retailers and the economy could find it difficult to match last May's sales performance in 2011.

Survey Respondents Think US Still In Recession

For example, please consider More Than Half Still Say U.S. Is in Recession or Depression

More than half of Americans (55%) describe the U.S. economy as being in a recession or depression, even as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reports that "the economic recovery is proceeding at a moderate pace."

Right now, do you think the economy is growing, slowing down, in a recession, or in an economic depression?



click on chart for sharper image

Although economists announced that the recession ended in mid-2009, more than half of Americans still don't agree. These ratings are consistent with Gallup's mid-April findings that 47% of Americans rate the economy "poor" and 19.2% report being underemployed.

In another possible disconnect with monetary policymakers, many Americans may not see the trade-off Bernanke suggests between promoting a stronger economy and experiencing higher inflation. Right now, prices are soaring, yet the latest Gallup Daily tracking data show that 67% of Americans say the economy is "getting worse."

Majority Do Not See A Recovery

Is there a recovery? The answer is in the eyes of the beholder. Turn on mainstream media and the answer would likely be a resounding yes. Take a poll of average citizens and the answer is clearly different.

The one bright spot in the Gallup survey is 27% of respondents now think the economy is growing. This is up from 3% in September of 2008. However, there are more who think the US is in a depression than a recession, and more who think the US is a depression than think the economy is growing.

With rising gas prices, rising food prices, falling real wages, and falling nominal wages for many households, it should not be difficult to figure out reasons for declining sentiment.

Recovery is a Mirage

There is no real recovery, at least in any meaningful sense. Unemployment is down, but employment is not up. The economy is finally adding jobs, but at snail's pace compared to any normal recovery.

If you lose your job, good luck finding another one quickly. You will need it.

Does that depict a recovery? Before you answer, bear in mind that Bernanke estimates that it takes 125,000 jobs a month just to hold the unemployment rate flat.

The only reason the unemployment rate has fallen is 2.3 million workers dropped out of the labor force in the last year alone, smack in the midst of an alleged recovery.

Take away government spending, unemployment insurance, and food stamps and you have a widespread economic depression. Gallup respondents realize that; The average commentator on mainstream media doesn't.

roy o martin lumber co wins in yesterdays 3rd circuit opinion dump

click here to download sixteen page .pdf from la3circuit.org/opinions

while this is a very fascinating, for what appears to be contract dispute:

Louisiana Civil Code Article 2625 defines a right of first refusal as a party’s agreement not to “sell a certain thing without first offering it to a certain person.

The right given to the latter in such a case is a right of first refusal that may be enforced by specific performance.”

The right of first refusal is a unilateral obligation; the grantor alone is obligated to act and the person holding the right of first refusal is not required to accept the offer, though failure to accept the offer permits the grantor to then sell the thing to a third party. See ALAIN LEVASSEUR & DAVID GRUNING, LOUISIANA LAW OF SALE AND LEASE: A PRÉCIS § 1.1.4).

betwixt bryan mccann farms, inc. and roy o martin lumber company, llc., the main lesson for everyone else to take away from this is the awesomeness of louisiana timber and resources.

roy o martin lumber company llc [appellant] was represented by james p.dore, kean miller, hawthorne, d'armond, mccowan & jarman llp, baton rouge, louisiana.

INTERNET SEX STUDY

On 28 April 2011, we read that scientists have been studying one billion online sex-related searches from around the world.

A new book called "A Billion Wicked Thoughts", by Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam, provides the details.

Ogi Ogas was a biodefense researcher at MIT and a Department of Homeland Security fellow.

Internet sex study reveals what people really want / Huge Internet Sex Study Reveals What People Really Want

The top searches are:

Youth
Gay

'Straight' women 'enjoy' reading about and watching romances between two men.

'Straight' men enjoy a wide variety of erotic images, including both elderly women and transsexuals.

Gay men and straight men have the same favourite body parts, which in order are chests, buttocks then feet.

Men fantasise about group sex more than women, and picture more men than women in the action.

Straight men have a fascination with other men’s penises.

“The research, as far as I can tell, is pretty damn sound,” says Dr. Stephen Snyder, a sex therapist in private practice in Manhattan for over 20 years. “They worked very hard to acquire a large data set, and they found some very, very interesting stuff.”

Psychologist Donald Symons says 'Ogi is convinced that when people are searching for things, it’s primarily for sexual arousal. I’m not so sure about that. If there was a porn star with three breasts - I bet there would be a zillion hits. Would that be a sign men were suddenly aroused by that? I think not.'

Radical Plan to Cut Military Spending and Help Balance the Budget

My long held belief is the US cannot afford to be the world's policeman. Moreover, I question whether it is wise to pursue such a policy even if we could pay for it. Regardless, it is beyond absurd to leave cuts in defense spending off the table when the budget deficit is $1.5 trillion.

The US has troops in 140 countries. Admittedly many of those are small operations. However, why should the US be meddling in the affairs of those countries in the first place?

The US has 150,000 troops in Europe and Asia. Why? The cold war is over, the odds Europe will be invaded by Russia close to zero, and even if the odds are higher, why should it be US troops and US expense protecting Europe?

The question I have had is what would a massive pullback in troop levels save? Courtesy of Foreign Policy magazine, today I have an answer.

Please consider A Radical Plan for Cutting the Defense Budget and Reconfiguring the U.S. Military by retired Col. Douglas Macgregor.

In the spirit of spending wisely, here is my plan to reconfigure the military for the demands and threats of the 21st-century world and, in doing so, dramatically cut the Pentagon budget:

Today, there are more than 317,000 active-duty U.S. military personnel stationed or deployed overseas. In the Central Command theater of operations, encompassing Iraq and Afghanistan, there are approximately 180,000 active-component personnel as well as over 45,000 reservists. Approximately 150,000 active-component U.S. military personnel are officially assigned to Europe and Asia. And some estimates note that there are two civilians and supporting contractors for each service member in certain locations.

The United States long stayed secure without this kind of sprawling imperial apparatus. But as the Cold War drew to a close, instead of adjusting force structure and spending to a strategic environment newly friendly to U.S. and allied interests, the U.S. military began a dramatic expansion of its overseas presence into areas where, historically, it had been episodic at best. America's Cold War commitments, meanwhile, continued without interruption. After expelling the Iraqi Army from Kuwait in 1991, the U.S. military was directed to stay in the Persian Gulf and build massive facilities. And following the 9/11 attacks, the global war on terror resulted in major new Army and Air Force installations from Europe to Central Asia.

Why does America need all these facilities? The original Cold War goal of protecting European and Asian societies from communist threats and internal subversion has long ago been met, and many overseas U.S. bases are now redundant. What better time than now, when the United States faces fiscal calamity but few real military threats, to judiciously sort those that are truly needed from those the Pentagon can live without? It's time to declare victory and go home.

U.S. troops remained ashore in Europe and Asia long past the point when it was clear that a military presence was a needless drain on American resources. Today, new technology and a different mix of forces enables a lighter, less intrusive footprint. For instance, area control is no longer a mission that demands a large surface fleet on the World War II model. The U.S. nuclear submarine fleet augmented with fewer surface combatants employing long-range sensors, manned and unmanned aircraft, communications, and missiles can dominate the world's oceans, ensuring the United States and its allies control access to the maritime domain that supports 91 percent of the world's commerce.

In the Islamic world, the U.S.-led interventions were and remain speculative investments with questionable returns on taxpayers' investments. For the moment, operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and more recently over Libya, have resulted in less and less funding available to reorganize and replace obsolescent, unsustainable, or worn-out Cold War-era forces designed for aerospace, maritime superiority, and ground combat -- one more reason to end or drastically reduce U.S. involvement in those conflicts as soon as possible.

Other Worthy Ideas

In a four page article Mcgregor goes on to highlight a number of areas where the US can and should save money. Here are his ideas.

• Estimated annualized savings resulting from withdrawals from overseas garrisons and restructuring the United States' forward military presence: $239 billion
• Estimated annualized savings from reorganizing the Army and Marine Corps: $18 billion
• Estimated annualized savings from reductions in naval surface forces and Marine fixed-wing aviation: $10 billion
• Estimated annualized savings from eliminating the F-35B: $2.5 billion
• Estimated annualized savings from reducing the number of unified commands and single service headquarters: $1 billion
• Estimated annualized savings from eliminating the Department of Homeland Security and restructuring national intelligence and the Army National Guard: $7 billion

Total Savings: $279 Billion

I agree with all of Macgregor's points. His total savings: $279.5 billion a year.

Note that would be $2.79 trillion over 10 years if the savings could be made at once. That is not practical but it should be possible to make those changes over a 5 or six year period.

Balancing the Budget

We are not going to balance the budget unless that is the goal. Thus, I have a simple proposal: Balance the budget by 2022 come hell or high water

Moreover, we are not going to balance the budget unless Ryan and the Republicans agree to huge reductions in military spending or raise taxes. Otherwise it cannot be done.

I continue to suggest the need to cut military spending dramatically and am pleased to see Col Macgregor agree.

Next, if we could get rid of the Department of Education and Department of Energy, end student loans, and adopt other ideas of Paul Ryan we would be well on the way to balancing the budget.

Add in some pro-growth policies like a national right-to-work law and scrapping Davis-Bacon and all prevailing wage laws, then whatever remains to be done can be done with minimal tax hikes.

As the plans sit right now, neither President Obama nor Paul Ryan has come close to balancing the budget. For details, please see Interactive Map: Paul Ryan vs. Obama Budget Details; Path of Destruction
