Typhoid:: Exactly. The central banking system owns your wealth and your savings because they own the money -- and rightfully so, since its their sheets of paper, central bank debt notes. You should be free to use, and privately own, any money you wish. Under legal tender law you are not free in this most basic requirement. Ownership! We'll disagree on the stock market and by association the 201k system. At one time, stocks and more importantly bonds may have been a workable long term savings method. Today they seem more like a gambling casino under the roof of the free floating debt based currencies and interest rates. Its not just the banking system. Fraudulent municipal governments violate private ownerwhip through property tax, and taxes on homes will become an ignored national threat (ignored by "official" OWS demands as well -- I like your take on that). "But property taxes are manageable." Perhaps today, but not for the unemployed. As the debt collapse and job losses gather steam, watch these local yahoos ramp property tax rates to compensate for crashing property values.

Wait, sure this isn't one of Gadaffy's doubles? UK:: The economic role they play is disgusting.

Yough Jug, if I recall, Gates and Jobs were both college dropouts...no "economics" or "business" degrees needed there. Jug:: If you pulled yourself up, and engage in economics on the street, you can to talk economics with far more authority than "professional" government and central bank funded economists, because the field has been largely funded, and so corrupted, by the "Government Banking Complex." Worse, one should consider debt, business destroying taxation, and property tax on homes, as long term national security threats, but this seems conveniently ignored by .gov agencies that get funded by massive borrowing. There are counterexamples to the fraudulent economics of the Gov/Bank complex. One is Antal Fekete who escaped from Hungarian communism. TxBill's poast brings a favorite article to mind... TxBill:: portuguese people, Oh man... lves dos Reis who masterminded the 1920s counterfeit scam ~> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alves_dos_Reis. What is interesting, is he hoped to use his profits to gain control of the central bank to thwart investigation. Fekete has a very humorous introduction to his (very long) article THE REVOLT OF QUALITY. Its worth quoting in part here, at The CombatAce. mesmerizing the public ... I emphasized this, because "public" includes real life or Main Street businesses and working men/women, all together. As for the Occupy thing, I don't see anything is really starting here. Men and women, even the Occupiers, are still mesmorized by the "freebies" that the debt system promises.

Widow, ye olde General Smedley Butler, USMC, reserved special words for giant banks and bankers during the World War 1 era in his book War Is A Racket. Read it. If you don't have time, just word search several times for ..."bank".... ----- Typhoid (and Jug), your classical description of free markets does not describe what happens in a bank debt based monetery system, which we have today through our artificial legal tender laws. Legal tender laws are the mortal enemy of free markets, and, legal tender laws were a core requirement of communism from the day of Marx. The "wealth" of independent businesses and labour (men and women), all together, is confiscated through non-liquidating credit -- confiscated by the banking system. But we are required by legal tender law to use the banking system -- ie...even if we use "only cash" (Federal Reserve Notes here in USA) -- we are still using the banking system in our transactions because the legal tender money we are required to use is created by, and is owned by, the banking system. Our paper or e-money we or businesses hold as "wealth" is merely evidence of debt owed by others ... debt owed [by] the society as a whole. That is not holding or accumulating wealth. It is the slow destruction of wealth. Brain (page 1):: Brain gets it. Getting weak governments to create legal tender laws was the basis for the fraud, although it goes far beyond.

Stock F-4 pit is great, retextured a bit, changing a few things. What's the communal standard, if any, here for a Lightning pit? ---- Back at THE UBI when the unauthorized FB Sound Mod got releaced, I made up the word Macking ... it totally upset those that wanted to call the modders hackers. Those who wanted to call the hackers modders, didn't seem to mind. That was a key observation there. Interestingly, the word did came into some use after a few weeks. I always poasted the word Mackers instead of either Hackers/Modders, and some others on both sides of the war started using it as well in their poasts.

meh But, very interesting fast time lapse of the two planes' contrails in the sky. Forgetting the rest of the video, I focus on this alone which is most impressive indeed. Forgetting that its supposed to be just the two fighters, think of it as what the sky looked like from the ground in daylight raids over London or Berlin...or over Siberia 1947 to 1971 in a fantasy campaign, which is why I spend time with The SF. Thanks. There is an AwSim mind behind that time lapse LOVE IT.

The Development of the C Language, by Dennis Ritchie, 1993 ~> http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/chist.html Good read, but it makes my head hurt bringing back repressed memories.

Yea spinners I do the same thing *-- copy and paste nearby areas that best match the area I need to cover. Early on I decided to go with decals because with my reflective metal skin settings, painted details including insignia get washed out, while decals keep there deep colours and details.

Small local bank? Credit union? Those are common suggested alternatives. Karl Denninger's Market Ticker Forum is where you want to be ~> http://tickerforum.org/ Lots or retired military and airline pilots are there as well. Czech it out. Its a superb "lite" -- think "lite sim" -- introduction to what's going down.

Nice. Thanks Jon. ... The Monopoly deception (=TRUE) is very interesting. Get out of jail free indeed hehe ~> http://www.snopes.com/military/monopoly.asp

Been thinking of getting this...1995... Northrop Flying Wings by Pape and Cambell. Anybody have, or had, it? Apparently there's a 49 pilots manual too. Interesting.

Congrats UK

In fact just the opposite. Its the required patriotic and civic duty to always question government, to always assume the worst about government regarding lies, fraud, and corruption, or a nation is destroyed. But be prepared to BACK IT UP, to paraquote Dave on another subject, or get eaten for lunch by free men and women. I like to think of Mr. Garibaldi's little speech to the new board of Edgar's Industries in season 5 Babylon~5. Any organization of men can get like that e~mail... unknown source...

what is that (in the quote, I set up my own) ~> Цитата = Start?

I didn't know that. How was that set up? :grin: lol no break for you today. btw...what site?

lol I see it. Thanks anyways. Got me a bit excited there you did.

Start:: I didn't know that. How was this set up?

Same here across the mid Atlantic Coffee Tea Boundary. Just found this...interesting read about Massoud...underlines added.

Does look nice. Flat flats and steep mountains all in one swift map. Love terrains like that. Mountains near the sea, 2nd to last screenshot, are special goodness. Did you have to take any special steps to avoid water running up mountains? That map is best with loaded B-47 and F-86Dora. Collision set to hard.

Detroit Rock City, by KISS Its also the official theme song for RAID 0 (think about it, it matches).

The 80$ million link is interesting. Over 200 feets? Czech it out. Thanks!!

Next is a Polar campaign. click here for map basis idea, scroll down ~> http://combatace.com/topic/51214-merry-christmas-from-north-pole/ Like I always do, I suggest late 1950s to early 1960s since that covers the niftiest of nifty airplanes on both sides of the sound barrier. Assume lots of air refueling in the background for NATO fighters. This may be possible to set up in DATA.ini with mission range and possibly defining campaign altitudes where the air refuel hack can work for AI flights. I don't know this would really work over the stock dynamic campaign generator. But it may be possible to get close enough. There is room enough over the Pole to borrow some of the long range strategic planesets. Even Canada has a role to play, right on the front line. Will need Aurora effects, but that requires some very long distance grafix definitions in Flightengine, and figuring out how to make it work with the stock campaign engine. I'm doing SAC vs PVO map, but I am willing to help out a Polar Bear Team or a Celebes Campaign Collective....or anyone who needs an undistorted extreme north or south lattitude map.

^^ What streak says. streak poasted that one of the recent Patches put back horizon distance accessibility. I have not got back into SF-2 since I slapped up a new box, but when I load out my SF2 again, and confirm this, I'll owe TK a big thanks. I simply cannot use the game without at least 200km horizon distance, minimum. I play my fantasy game at 50,000 feet -- average -- so this is a deal maker or breaker for me. Right now I'm doing 300km horizon distance in SF-1 2008, with... (0) 60fps in 3 mirror cockpits. (1) ATI 4850, stock clox -- stock Win7Pro ATI drivers on the Windows install disc. Believe it or not, every Catalyst install I tried slows the game down. Maybe I need just the drivers and dump the Cat, or stay with the disc drivers since ATI probably has long since stopped developing improvements to the 4000 series. (2) enbseries -- for SF-1 ONLY! (3) Mirrors ON (4) A minimum of ground objects and not very dense tga forests. (4+n) ...a number "n" of other tweaks in Flightengine and TerrainData. + (4+n+1) 5km terrain tiles, instead of stock-size 2km tiles, which means I draw 25/4 times fewer tiles -- much faster. This along with enbseries is the key. At 50,000 feet, 5km tiles show the same detail as stock 2km tiles seen from way down there at 20,000 feet which was a common altitude in the "real lifedeath" wars, where most normals play. I am not normal.

Well you could fake some Yak-25s there, since its a fake war. Have them arrive with the Soviets. You need something with range here. Maybe Yak-28 fighters and bombers and -27 recon in the later campaign years. I've read the -28 was a fair match for Phantom in Teh Dogfight.

Next is Celebes centered SW Pacific campaign -- late 1950s to early 1960s, with Soviets providing air and naval power, and China providing man power. Bascially, a re~try of Japan's run through the area in late 1941 - early 1942. SW Pacific has opportunity for USN and RN, as well as air forces, and Soviet VMF (bears and stuff) along with VVS. Would Yak-25 make a long range escort fighter? Other than that, the Soviets lack the equivalent of the Zero and its ocean dominating range. An early map I experimented with when I first got into THE SF. The area has lots of deep jungle, high mountains, active volcanoes (need effects) with not so much detail objects or big cities on the ground. I moved onto SAC vs PVO, but SW Pacific is an idea for ya'll more normal, less weird types.
