Unemployment 8.6% Corrupt: Here’s the Math – Not Fuzzy But Corrupt: 17 Things to Think About
1) We must create 250,000 per month for years, to keep up the population growth and to take the unemployment rate back to 6%,
2) According to Bureau of Labor statistics, in November we created 120,000 jobs.
3) A side note: Government jobs decreased by 20,000 in November. YAY!
4) Retailers are responsible for the largest portion of the hiring to take care of Thanksgiving and Christmas traffic – mostly temporary jobs. Don’t expect January 2012 to be pretty.
5) In November, 5.7 million people have been without a job for more than 6 months.
6) In November, the average length of unemployment rose to a record high of 40.9 weeks.
7) In November, 315,000 people quit looking for a job, may have lost their unemployment benefits and are no longer showing up as unemployed.
8) We did not create 315,000 jobs, thus lowering the unemployment rate, we had 315,000 job seekers who gave up – no longer looking.
9) We created 120,000 jobs – only!
10) The “labor participation” rate tells the story. The rate was 64.2% to 64%. The 2-tenths-of-one-percent drop equals 315,000 bailing out all records tracking the unemployed.
11)”So just 120,000 new jobs can lower the unemployment rate almost a half a point. That’s not possible without that 315,000 figure, the 315,000 people who have just walked away.”
12) “Bloomberg News is even reporting this means that more people left the workforce than got jobs. Now, stop and think of this. More people left the workforce than got jobs, and the unemployment rate goes down? We’re dealing here with a serious form of corruption, manipulation of data;…”
RUSH: Let me give you another way of illustrating what the regime did to get to this unemployment number, and it is very similar to how baseline budgeting works. Another way of looking at this is this. You had 120,000 jobs that were created. You have 315,000 people who dropped out. What you do is add those together and you get a number 435,000, and that 435,000 the government today says are no longer unemployed. So 435,000 jobs created… No. No, no. Let’s not go that far. So, 435,000 people no longer unemployed results in an unemployment rate dropping from 9.0 to 8.6. See how that works? This is what they do. This is what they did.
This is how it happens: 120,000 people find work, 315,000 quit looking; those 315,000 are no longer called unemployed. That’s the U3 clarification, qualification. U3 is made up of people looking for work and people who have lost their jobs and so forth. The 315,000 stop looking. They are added to those who are unemployed, and you get a grand total of 435,000. That’s how it happens. ~ Rush Limbaugh
13) The work force is smaller by 2.5 million jobs since Obama took office.
14)”I wonder how many would have to quit looking for work to get unemployment back down to five percent… ~ Allahpundit
15) Think about this: a drop of 315,000 at the highest hiring time of the year is no normal, or generally expected.
16) Obama’s fuzzy math: ”The American workforce is 153 million. The unemployment rate went from 9% down to 8.6% – do the math [153,000,000 X .004 = 612,000]. That should be an increase of 612,000 jobs. Now we find the actual number is 120,000 jobs. [612,000 minus 120,000 = 492,000] We are missing 492,000 jobs…300,000 are people who have given up [492,000 minus 300,000 = 192,000] We’re still missing 200,000 jobs…I’m telling you, there’s something wrong here.” ~ Eric Bolling. See the graphic above and the video below.
17) The trend has been for good numbers to be released from the government on numerous political issues, then late on a Friday a couple of months later, new numbers are released and they are not nearly as “good.” This time it’s the opposite: September and October unemployment numbers were released and then revised up (better)…perhaps to help move the November unemployment number down.
Cain Palinized
On the other hand, now that he is off the center stage he can be himself and he is an engaging, pleasant, and intelligent man who has a bold plan and direction to suggest for America. He certainly will be much more effective and he can mobilize and energize the TEA party forces. And, as in the case of the Palinized Palin, he effectively becomes a spokesperson for forces that can lead to the electoral defeat of Obama which is the goal of all common sense individuals who are outraged by the new Omerica.

MEMRI: Jordanian TV Debate on the Syrian Crisis Degenerates into a Brawl
#3223 - Jordanian TV Debate on the Syrian Crisis Degenerates into a Brawl
The Internet, JoSat TV (Jordan) - November 29, 2011 - 05:10
The debate, which focused on the crisis in Syria, featured Muhammad As’ad Bayoudh Al-Tamimi, a Palestinian-Jordanian politician of the Umma movement, and Mahmoud Al-Bastanjani, a member of the Jordanian Ba’th Party, hurling insults and eventually leaping out of their chairs to physically attack one another.

Alex Jones: Senate wants martial law in America
There is a bill in the US Senate called the National Defense Authorization Act and it could be voted on as early as this week. This bill gives the president the authority to indefinitely imprison American citizens without a court hearing, both domestically and abroad. Senate Bill 1867 is bringing the battlefield to the homeland. Alex Jones, radio host of The Alex Jones Show, tells us what this could mean for America's future.
China Threat of Military Action and World War III
“China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third World War.”
China pursues its own national interest in opposing its enemies, in exploiting global oil reserves, and in its trading partners.
Should Americans pressure China about their poor human rights record to weaken Communist Party power?
China is under pressure from their own nationalist groups.
Dr. Alan Keyes Discusses Obama's Connecticut Social Security Number.- 8/9/11
Alan Keyes, who most recently sought the Republican nomination in 2008, discussed concerns about why Obama has a number reserved for Connecticut applicants, despite the president's never having lived in the Constitution State.
The first three digits of Obama's SSN are 042. That code falls within the range of numbers for Connecticut, which according to the Social Security Administration has been 040 through 049.
"I believe that when you are confronted with a situation that is filled with these kinds of – what shall we call them – anomalies, disparities, it is reasonable common sense to want to try to get straight answers," said Keyes.
"If you're trying to ascertain whether or not somebody ought to be sitting with, as they used to say, their finger on the button of nuclear weapons that can blow up the world, their power extending to decisions that can collapse our economy, their influence extending to areas that can destroy the standards and moral conscience of our people in the eyes of the world, I think you might want to know who they were. It might be a good idea!"
Jerome Corsi's New York Times best-seller, "Where's the Birth Certificate?", which addresses Obama's Social Security Number, is now available for immediate shipping, autographed by the author, only from the WND Superstore
Keyes' comments came during an online interview with Stan Solomon, as he addressed an issue that has been avoided by the White House and almost completely ignored by national news agencies.
"Let's say that you're trying to establish someone's identity for the purposes of an investigation and you come across a Social Security Number that has that person coming from a state that all the other records of their life indicate they've never been to," Keyes explained.
"I think you would look at that as an anomaly that suggests, among other things, that you better probe a little harder to make sure that the identity that you're dealing with is a real identity – that it's not something that's been in some sense fabricated for some particular purpose, because one of the things you want to do if you're tracking somebody down is make sure you're tracking them down, not following some phony figment down to dead ends. That's common sense."
Keyes thinks there are many Americans who are aware of this Social Security Number mystery and simply can't understand why it's not being addressed.
"Is it incompetence? Is it cowardice?" he asks rhetorically. "Is it just indifference and nonchalance of this elite in the courts and in politics, in the Congress and elsewhere?"
Steve Davis, police chief for Southport, Ind., was a co-host on the program, chiming in, "If anyone believes Barack Obama is gonna make an identity-theft commercial soon, forget it. It's not gonna happen."
Keyes then went on a scathing indictment of the current crop of political candidates and their apparent unwillingness to take on the issue.
"You know there's hardly a one of them had the guts to stand forward and speak truly to the issues that are raised by these anomalies and to address the constitutional issues that are involved in [presidential] eligibility," he said.
"And that, it seems to me, is a big strike against you because at the end of the day if you're not willing to respect the requirements of integrity with regard to the most potently damaging office that it is in the gift of the American people to give, then I guess you're willing to misinform and lie to them about just about anything. Because if you don't care whether their vote for president – the most important vote they cast – can be cast with integrity, then you don't care whether they're represented or not."

SECRET DATA AND KEYSTROKE-LOGGING SOFTWARE REVEALED ON MILLIONS OF SMARTPHONES, Carrier IQ Part #2
Last week, Wired reported that Eckhart had found a program called Carrier IQ installed rather secretly on smartphones; its a program that can track almost anything happening on your mobile phone. Carrier IQ threatened Eckhart, who had posted research and manuals on his website, saying he was in breach of copyright law and could face financial charges. But Eckhart didn’t back down.
In fact, Eckhart has released a new video and research showing Carrier IQ at work on a phone, according to Wired. The company’s website says the program is used to give “manufacturer’s unprecedented insight into their customer’s mobile experience.” Wired states that Carrier IQ said the software is used to gather “information off the handset to understand the mobile-user experience, where phone calls are dropped, where signal quality is poor, why applications crash and battery life” — not logging keystrokes.
But Eckhart‘s demonstration shows otherwise:
Now, as Eckhart notes in the video, his demonstration is shown on an HTC phone but he mentions he’s seen such software on other phones like Android, Blackberry, Nokia and more. Eckhart describes the software on his website as a “rootkit“ that is ”enabling someone continued privileged access to our computers“ and is ”hidden in nearly every part of our phones.”

ABC's Tapper To Carney: Looks Like Obama "Is Campaigning On Taxpayer Dime"
ABC News' Jake Tapper confronts White House press secretary Jay Carney over President Obama's schedule which has included a lot of traveling. Citing a Wall Street Journal article about the number of times President Obama has traveled to swing-states, Tapper bluntly asks Carney if Obama is "campaigning on taxpayer dime."
"President Obama seems to travel to battleground states more so than any other president before him. Am I'm wondering if you could respond to this. It looks like the president is campaigning on the taxpayer dime more than any other president has done," Tapper said at today's White House briefing.
"I reject the premise of that," Carney responded. Carney said since Obama "expanded the political map" by winning some red states, so many more states are considered "purple" or swing-states now. Carney also said that there is "logistical" decision making when the White House plans to travel.
Carney is then asked by CBS News' Mark Knoller if politics isn't the motive then what is, causing the press secretary to give a bumbling answer.
