Satellite Images Of The Ghost Cities Of China

Merry Christmas. Stir The Stew.

If China is supposed to be the endless growth of the worlds economic engine - what do these images mean? And, if they represent the coming bust - what can be done about that? Questions a bit too sticky for our MSM - but not Barf Stew. - http://www.businessinsider.com/pictures-chinese-ghost-cities-2010-12?slop=1#slideshow-start#ixzz18EHVIxq3

Want a good Christmas read? Bowing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowing - with words such as:
Bows of apology and thanks



Bows are a required and expected part of any apology or expression of thanks in East Asia, especially Japan, Korea, and Taiwan .
Bows of apology tend to be deeper and last longer than other types of bow. They occur with frequency during the apology, generally at about 45 degrees with the head lowered and lasting for at least the count of three, sometimes longer. The depth, frequency and duration of the bow increases with the sincerity of the apology and the severity of the offense. Bows of thanks follow the same pattern.
Bows of apology are frequently performed at press conferences by high-ranking members of a company that has performed some misdeed, such as producing faulty parts that resulted in a death. These bows are almost invariably performed standing behind a table; the tips of the fingers touch the table while the upper body, held straight, is lowered from the waist until the face is parallel with the tabletop.

123 BANKS Miss November TARP Payment

EVERY QUARTER this number increases - yet the story is as hidden as ever - this time around - I could only find the numbers in an obscure Cleveland Ohio source - http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20101215/FREE/101219891
here's previous coverage on BS - http://barfstew.blogspot.com/2010/09/8-20-55-74-97-115-banks-miss-august.html - indeed if you look at the link closely you can see the INCREASING number of banks EACH TIME. All part of the new normal (which the MSM says you should be elated with) of the `jobless recovery' (for whom, and by what definition are recoveries jobless?). Barf Stew of the first order folks. 55 banks missed the payment a year ago - 123 this time around ---------------- makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, Right?

BS says you need some distraction after the inherent Barf of the first BS link today - so - how about the BS cuties: such as this GIF worth letting go a few times - http://i.imgur.com/DXrBB.gif or the close-up of this honey - http://i.imgur.com/UFHCT.jpg Barf Stew Entertains.

Finally today - A link from NPR about what the NY Times did in 1931 - that being, asking what it will be like in 2011 -- cool read and very Stewable - Predictions For 2011 — From 1931 - http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2010/12/16/132105724/predictions-for-2011-from-1931 -- BUT, what really grabbed BS's tush was this comment from below the link: (in response to the website asking readers what they thought it would be like in 2091)

2091 will be quite without the hum of machinery or airplanes flying overhead. No sound of cars or people talking or someone's radio playing off in the distance. The sound of the children in the playground from the elementary school on the next block is not heard. No longer is there the sound of the newscaster from a TV turned up to loud telling those few left to hear a message that there will be no emergency services for those sickened by the last Chemtrail spraying that occurred in the early months of the year 2011.
There are no birds singing from the top of the telephone poles. The last birds to survive the deadly spraying where seagulls that fed wonderfully from the many dead of beast and human. The hundreds of deep underground military bases built from the trillions stolen from the people never had a chance to receive those who were believing themselves to be superior over those that were to be affected from the spraying.
You see. A mistake happened, as is only human, and the last Chemtrail spraying of the deadly chemicals that were to activate those chemicals already in the system of six plus billion human beings and every creature that walked the earth and had breathed was sprayed prematurely. They were not perfect creatures as they boosted themselves to be. Someone either on purpose or by error switched the Order Forms Assignment to those chemicals that were to start the worldwide epidemics and those chemicals were sprayed worldwide before anyone could discover the mistake.


The rapidness of inhalation to hour of death was less then 48 hours and all those once infected were incapacitated and unable to assist themselves. Elite, rich, middle class and just down right dirt poor, all died by the morning of the third day. None survived. What would have been called the year 2091 is to planet Earth 70 years of rest and silence. A speck of eternity not even to be considered. Those who once infected her bountiful soil she will not forget for deep in the oceans she is brewing another creature and she does not forget those who once where. But just what will become of this new mixture she has no worry about. This time being wiser, she is going to take a few billion more years before she allows this one to get up and walk on two feet.

Are things that nefarious? Does the government see what they are causing by NOT revealing what the H is going on with the spraying? ---------------- Remember, IMO, the spraying has largely if not totally been about stopping global warming in its tracks ------ as it has largely done since 1998. Certainly most folks would NOT find it as nefarious if THAT was the stated reason - don't you the Barfster think?


Feel free to comment - what do you think the world will be like in 2091?
