Jones prepares for war

Looking back at the current world state of affairs I’ve decided the only thing left to do is prepare for war. Humans are now untrustworthy so I have recruited a campaign of officers to help me defend the homeland (currently consisting of the backyard)

Hey Sup

Hey everyone.. well let’s see… SIRI is back on the raise after J& P bail out of it’s universe, I feel like we should say you’re welcome or something.

Happy St. Pattys Day, even though it equals amateur hour at most places, true drinkers refer to this day as Tuesday.

J&P headquarters is very busy in devolopment of worldwide success, even though Jones loses out to pussy when it comes to elegance.

I have an idea… and very little time.  It involves epoxy, a dildo and cardio awareness…

Good job Facebook team…

So Mr. Pickles is drinking his drink and typing his bullshit when he decides to test the limits of the Facebook team. Don’t forget people, Mr. Pickles is a bit of a programmer by trade and a lot more of a social liability by practice so you can see why he decided to test the FB boundary zones…

SIDE NOTE: I know in my posts that I switch between 1st and 3rd person. It’s part of the routine dipshit…you want a fucking cookie English Major? You know who you are…

OK - Done with that…

So - Mr. Pickles was chatting online with his favorite intellectual when he noticed that Facebook recognizes certain moticons but not others. So the fun (for those with no better options on a Monday evening) begins…

After trying several commonly known moticons, I decided to let my chat buddy know what I thought…

Golf Clap Facebook - Golf Clap…

The fact that you had a pre-programmed script to catch that ranks right up there with the waving bear with Bill Gates’ face from the “About” screen in Windows 3.11 (3 Clicks in sequence…oh fuck you…like you even know what the hell I’m talking about…)


OK - so fans of Mr. Pickles know that I am Mr. Fucking Sunshine like 24/7, but this one is funny…
It takes a while to load, but STFU already - like you have a better place to be than here…

End of World - An Illustration



OK - First, Silver valuations are below historic ratios to gold so it’s a bit of a buy as it is.  Now suppose what’s going to happen to the US Dollar this summer when China finally stops lending us money.

China ‘worried’ about US Treasury holdings

China expresses worry about its US Treasury holdings, says increased stimulus possible

 

BEIJING (AP) — China’s premier expressed concern Friday about its massive holdings of Treasuries and other U.S. debt, appealing to Washington to safeguard their value, and said Beijing is ready to expand its stimulus if the economy worsens.

Premier Wen Jiabao noted that Beijing is the biggest foreign creditor to the United States and called on Washington to see that its response to the global slowdown does not damage the value of Chinese holdings.

“We have made a huge amount of loans to the United States. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I’m a little bit worried,” Wen said at a news conference following the closing of China’s annual legislative session. “I would like to call on the United States to honor its words, stay a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets.”

Wen’s comments foreshadowed possible appeals to President Barack Obama, who will meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao at a London summit of leaders of the G-20 group of major economies on April 2 to discuss the global financial crisis.

Analysts estimate that nearly half of China’s $2 trillion in currency reserves are in U.S. Treasuries and notes issued by other government-affiliated agencies.

Washington is counting on China to continue buying Treasuries to fund its $787 billion stimulus package. Last month, visiting Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to reassure Beijing that government debt would remain a reliable investment.

“They are worried about forever-rising deficits, which may devalue Treasuries by pushing interest rates higher,” said JP Morgan economist Frank Gong. “Inside China there has been a lot of debate about whether they should continue to buy Treasuries.”

The comments come as finance ministers and central bankers of the G-20 gather in London this weekend to discuss the crisis and possible remedies.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is pressing for a new coordinated stimulus but European governments are reluctant to take on more debt before they see how current plans are working. The Europeans want to emphasize the need for greater regulation of markets, including a crackdown on tax havens and increased control over hedge funds.

In Beijing, Wen expressed confidence China can emerge from its slump “at an early date,” and said the government is ready to expand its 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus to boost growth in the world’s third-largest economy.

Communist leaders worry about rising job losses and possible unrest amid a trade slump that saw Chinese exports fall 25.7 percent in February from a year earlier. They have promised to spend heavily to create jobs and boost exports.

“We already have our plans ready to tackle even more difficult times, and to do that we have reserved adequate ammunition,” Wen said. “That means that at any time we can introduce new stimulus policies.”

In nearby Japan, Prime Minister Taro Aso called Friday for a fresh stimulus to help lift the world’s second-largest economy out of “an unprecedented economic crisis.” The comments helped spark a rally in Japan’s stock market, where the Nikkei 225 stock index surged 5.2 percent.

China’s Wen and other officials point to rising bank lending, power demand and other signs the stimulus is taking effect. But growth in retail sales is weakening, suggesting it has yet to spur private sector spending and investment, which analysts say will be key to its success.

Wen said Beijing can meet its 2009 growth target of 8 percent, despite skepticism by private sector economists, who expect as little as 5 percent. That would be the strongest of any major country but could lead to more waves of job cuts.

“I really believe we will be able to walk out of the shadow of the financial crisis at an early date,” he said. “After this trial, I believe the Chinese economy will show greater vitality.”

The premier promised to focus on job creation and give more help to smaller companies, which he said generate 90 percent of Chinese new employment.

“We will pay all attention possible to this issue and we will never overlook this issue,” he said.

Wen said Beijing wants the London summit to focus on the plight of poor countries.

“We must see to it that we show concern for developing countries, and help developing countries — the least-developed ones in particular — become an important topic on the agenda,” he said.

THERE could only ever be one winner in this battle.

And this croc won the encounter with a gulp.

The 4.5m saltwater crocodile went head-to-head with the shark last week only metres from a boatload of surprised fishermen. CRAIG VAN LAWICK was aboard the commercial barramundi vessel on the Wildman River 100km east of Darwin when the croc started devouring the one-metre shark.

“There was not a whole lot of sound,” he said. “All we could hear was the crunching sound.”

Mr Van Lawick was unsure about the type of shark involved and said it was eaten too quickly to work it out. Luckily another fisherman on board, Anthony Capogreco, reached for his camera and captured the animals in their brief but dramatic battle.
