Ohio job losses worst since WWII
The more than 209,000 non-farm jobs Ohio lost from 2000 to 2007 comprised the largest proportionate decline in employment since the end of the Great Depression, a national manufacturing trade group said Wednesday.
Employment dropped by 3.7 percent, the biggest seven-year drop since the period starting in 1939, near the end of the Depression and including the years the U.S. military absorbed millions of American workers to fight World War II.
Moreover, according to the analysis the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition commissioned, only Michigan lost a greater proportion of its employment than Ohio during the period -- 9.1 percent or 431,000 jobs.

Does this mean we could have a repeat in economy and a new war like we did before and during WWII? Possibility of things to come?

As we are already in a two-front war, with a 3rd – Iran – on the horizon – the same scenario not necessary. The US in the 1930s wasn’t a police state and had a solid constitution which most law enforcement and public officials knew they were beholden. This is a different reality now. We have the same realities as old Germany, police state wise, with the technology the old systems only dreamed of.
One more 911 and it’s a lock, as everyone knows.
The fact that newspapers are even referencing data sets and using words like “since WWII” or “the great depression” is ominous indeed. Because that is a form of conditioning: because the end to those eras was more war. It’s setting a mind trap. But, when you are fighting a war on terror and the fighters are also the terrorists…these are spooky things to say to the public. Like at the Walmart over Christmas, saying it’s Martial Law and return all carts, as they did.
It’s all sign posts to a very ugly time ahead, and it’s hard by the door.

How should we prep for this? Clean living, set an example for others, look inward and up connecting to loving father and family, be observant

Worries
Grow for Worse ‘Stagflation’
WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a toxic economic mix the nation hasn’t seen in three decades: Prices are speeding upward at the fastest pace in a quarter century, even as the economy loses steam.
The economy nearly stalled in the final three months of last year and probably is barely growing or even shrinking now. That’s the “stagnation” part of the ailment. Typically, that slowdown should slow inflation as well — the second part of the diagnosis — but prices are still marching higher.
The latest worrisome news came Tuesday: a government report showing wholesale prices climbed 7.4 percent in the past year. That was the biggest annual leap since 1981.

An event in my life, meeting an old friend, recovering knowledge, old memories and mirroring lifestyle saved me from being broke and stuff. It really came like a blessing and i could even play a little veena during the conversation.
The bottomline is; if you want something one can personify it.
I hope america won’t fall apart as you’all experiencing. I’m still saying no when i get those sky litting dreams. But it becomes harder for me to forbid it. I hope i will discover some personifications who allow me to do so.
In holland; the wilders film is almost out; bea will probably respond vs the movie, which will be a huge blow to mind control programs; jsf is under attack; a new politics party is arriving 11th of march called “man and spirit” and the whole TV system has been debuncked, less shit and more spiritual stuff on the tellie.
Pretty good stuff so far.
