  • To nationalize or not to nationalize

    Bill Moyers Journal: To Nationalize or Not To Nationalize... 12:56am
    Source: www.pbs.org
    In this week’s edition of the JOURNAL, Bill Moyers spoke with economist Robert Johnson about the precarious state of many banks in the U.S. and across the world. Johnson suggested that President Obama should take tough action on failing banks:
    There is no point in doing anything about a banking system that was not designed to work for the public good.The banks like the other enterprises that have intentionally misled the public should be allowed to fail.Hamilton told us that a system not based on something of value,like gold or silver is nothing more than a scam.Fiat money,and speculation,credt card s that the banks were betting people would miss payments on,allowing banks to raise the interest from 0% to 20% or more are nothing more than pools for the elite to exploit the common person.As P.T. Barnum Said,"There is a sucker born every minute."

    Biography:
    My friends,

    I am truly happy about an opportunity to share my work with you.

    I was born in a family of musicians and could not avoid musical education even if I wanted but soon appreciated the divine gift that my parents gave me. I have been surrounded by beautiful music from around the world all my life and the music standards for me were set very high. True music does not know time nor country borders. Be it Chopin or Chaikovsky, Beatles or Abba, Stevie Wonder or Elton John… these great names and the music that they created will live forever and the melodies that they brought into our life will always be evergreen and modern.

    The yardstick of a good composer's work is that the music must not leave you dispassionate. If the melody sticks into your head, if you want to listen to it again and again and sing it all day long, starting from the morning shower and then on the way to work and back to home, then composer deserves a word of encouragement.

    I don't have a preference to a particular music genre although I have some favorite styles in which I like to work which are pop, Latin, lounge and jazz… As any clothes looks great on a beautiful woman as melody can take on different clothes but everyone knows if there is a beauty underneath…

    I was honored to work with some of the best musicians of our time including Grammy award winner and the founder of Cuba's well-known band "Irakere" Chucho Valdes, a world-renowned Brazilian composer also a Grammy winner Joao Donato, a top singer in today's Brazil Emilio Santiago, foremost singers of Brazilian bossa nova Leny Andrade and Wanda Sa, Carlos El Rumbero a singer from world known group Gypsy Kings, a great guitar player from Russia Roman Miroshnichenko, a talented pianist Michael Link and many others… And I am also very grateful to my partners working with me on arrangements of the melodies, first of all, a talented songwriter Andy Paley from LA and a very gifted arranger Sergey Erokhin.

    I will be happy to stay in touch and to update you on new compositions that I will add to my site.

    Yours,

    Oleg Tumanov

    Top Latin Stars combine forces in a unique project that bears the title of RIO HAVANA!




    Sensual, romantic and vibrant bossa nova-inflected album comprises the soulfulness of both Brazilian and Cuban musical accents. The spellbinding melodies will captivate your heart and mind. A must-have gem in your collection!




    Some of the greatest names in contemporary Latin music took part in the creation of "Rio Havana". Among them were Grammy award winner piano virtuoso, the founder of one of Cuba's well-known Latin jazz bands "Irakere" Chucho Valdes, a world-renowned Brazilian composer and truly a godfather of the bossa nova school of jazz, Grammy winner Joao Donato. Emilio Santiago who ranks among the top singers in Brazil, Leny Andrade, a foremost singer of Brazilian jazz and bossa nova and Wanda Sa with her enchanting velvet voice are both yet another contributors to perform Oleg Tumanov's music.




    Be it either Chucho Valdes performing "Latin Romance", Wanda Sa with her soul-soothing "Vestido de rei", Emilio Santiago spicing things up in "Copacabana" and others, every single one of them adds his/her own zing to the project.







    "Rio Havana" is the album you will enjoy listening to over and over again!

    Tim Ballard
    Easy Does IT
    The Jeff Jones Show Episode #1 Available on itunes,podbean,CD Baby,jeffness711.com
    This is one of the finest musical efforts I have heard from any independent artist in over 40 years. Easy does it does it for me. This production has been recorded and mastered to the highest standards available with today's technology. Tim's mellow voice puts me in mind of the great male vocalists of who have given renditions of the great American songbook. Listen for just a minute and you hear the influences of the musical standard bearers that shaped Tim's own original approach to Jazz and pop standards. The choice of tunes gives the album a unique credibility seldom achieved by today's artists. Rich orchestrations played in an impeccable manner support Tim's rich full tone as he glides effortlessly over some of the most demanding charts ever written by our finest composers. Songs such as; Midnight Sun , Don't Misunderstand , and Angel Eyes bring back memories of a time when vocalists spoke to the heart of life with style and grace. I highly recommend this very attractive album.

  • New Album &The; House of jeffness

     HELLO, MY FRIENDS,

    I added two more compositions to the album "In Instrumental Mood", called "Investigation" and "My Paris" http://olegtumanov.com/main/music?album=2" title="http://olegtumanov.com/main/music?album=2" target="_blank"http://olegtumanov.com/main/m...
     Both are French-chanson types of music. The first one is a foxtrot and the second is a jazzy waltz.
    I have several songs of this kind already. Maybe, one day it will be a separate French album with a voice.
    All the best,
    Oleg

Unsafe Foods

Is our food system safe?

 

Our diet of food like substances is causing a health crisis in the nation,and hunger worldwide.

 

90% of the food produced has nothing in it besides sugar,salt,and fat.

 

We are subsidizing corn and soy producers, who take natural foods and add stuff to make it go farther,at the expense of our health.

 

Diabetes is on the rise not because people are lazy...we are being poisoned.

 

Speak out to the agencies who should be protecting us instead of getting along with the giant food producers.

Lead The World

The world is looking for a leader

Once again we are at a point where the entire world seems to be asking for someone to take the helm and guide us back toward the light.

The old ways of stacking up troops to oppose the troops of another are no longer effective when everyone has the same capacity for harm.

Does it take more courarage to use violence than it does to try and reconcile?

How can we say without trying?

No nation should be dominated,or left behind.

We should spend our treasure on helping build schools,and shelter in the world's poorest regions,including our own.

If we gave aid to those allies who seek a positive outcome, we could seperate those who are meerly thugs, from those who want to live in peace.

First,we must realize that we cannot be masters in another man's house.

Give a date certain for withdrawal and you will cut the ability of the criminals to recruit in half.

You remove what they have been called to resist.

Fix the problems at home,and then extend a helping hand open to the developing countries

Friends working on saving our one and only planet.

All this can be done...if we simply take the lead.

Afpakistan

I don't Get It

Let me get this straight. We are paying american blood and treasure to the waring factions to try to get then to reconcile?

How can a nation intervene in every conflict at once?

This is a lot like what we did to the british.

We ran,hide,shot from behind trees,and tried to wait out the invaders.

We didn't fight fair...according to the rules.

The same thing in Viet Nam.

Look man, if you chase me into my house,you are in danger.

I know where everything is.You are lost.

They will take your money,and still hate you.

We have sayings in this nation such as"Don't Tread On Me",and "Live Free Or Die"

No force on earth could occupy this land.So it is with others

They can't defeat us...but they can out last us.

Spend your treasure in the open to have the host nation  deliver the criminals to you.

Our presence can only serve to agitate an already ancient fued.

Limping from one war to the next is very dangerous,and costly.

Spend your wealth to help the poor and bring progress to all the world.

Cycles

From Boom To Bust

All thru our history we have gone from the highest peak,to the lowest valley.

Each generation has it's own new inventions.

With each invention comes a rush to get in on the groundfloor before the building starts to rise.

This is our true nature.We are never staisfied with just enough.

This is why we never have a very long period of "prosperity"

As soon as we get used to one way of doing things,someone has another idea.

We can't know  whether that idea is good,or bad unless we try it.

So, we are a work in progress....we are working on something.

This social experiment will sometimes be a little disconcerning,but we will make it to the goal if we just don't quit.

There are many people still alive who made it thru worse days than these.

This generation had to learn again why a monopoly is not good for anyone.

Somewhere some unknown person is working on the next new idea.

If we take a lesson from history we will ride out the storm,and wait in hopeful expectation the dawning of a new day.

Pull Down The Stronghold

WE Compromised

This nation was built on faith,hard work,and determination by people united in a common cause.

The world had never seen such,nor will it ever again.

Simple faith filled people let the enemy dominate the mountaintop.

We failled to be watchful and deligent.

Now, we must retake the high ground,for everyone knows that battles are most easily won by he who controls the high ground.

The greater good of the commonwealth of human energy is not served by selfish greed....

it is served best by an enlightened body making decisions based on the common good.

Remember with justice for all?

We cannot take back the stronghold without binding the strong man first.

Put back the regulations that were in place to prevent the domination,and you will have bound once again the strong man,and can then easily retake the mountaintop.

Our ancestors...our children...and our children's children are depending on our winning the battle at all costs.

And WE will.

Jeff Jones

The House of jeffness.org

This is my land

Taking it back by faith

We have been blind to the fact that you...you,there behind this mass illusion, have been manipulating us to be the workforce you use to hoard all the wealth.

The money you gamble with is our money.

If we all went to the bank today,you would be out of business tomorrow.

We will pay no more attention to the little minions you send to control this system with guns,smoke,and mirrors.

We see you clearly now.Our eyes are wide open.

The wealth will be transfered to the control of the people,or we will take it back by faith.

There is no lack.No shortage.We have abundant supply.

Return to the role of servant....or face the fact that we can get along without you very well.

Open Letter To President Brother Man #5

Mr. President,
As you outlined your ideas on which course the nation should take, I was happy to see the different  points of veiw being addressed in a civil adult manner.
The looks on people's faces said to me that WE need someone a bit paternal.

A biiter pill was swollowed.
There will be no magic sollution,yet when told,none fainted.
We have heard,and been heard.
The perilous journey has begun....but ,could you point the way for common people to find a way to keep their tax dollars near home.
Let the people we deal with have a face we can go see to try to negotiate in times of trouble,instead of being treated as just another number.
Finally sir,nelp us find a way to work toward change at our local neighborhood level
If the nations leaders are confused,how do you think we feel?
WE can do the work...can you make it plain?

More Moral Fiber

Constipation

Our nation is plugged up and sick because as Hamilton said,"The nation has a case of gallopping consumption,and if not treated soon,the patient will die."

Everybody wants more,bigger,better.

How much stuff can we worship?

While worshipping the idol of bling,we have lost our moral compass.

.

50 to 60 million people are not poor enough for welfare,yet not rich enough to withstand even one short illness,or setback.

We need a strong dose of moral fiber to clear us out so that we can return to regularity.

WE are full of it.

Our schools are long on technical skills......but short on morality.

The brilliant minds on wall street forgot, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, that this nation was built on,without them,we aren't so smart are we?

Tesla Master of Energy

Free Energy

Early on in the industrial revolution, a man named Testla proved that light could be produced from the energy that surounds us all the time.

Experiments were done,papers were written.Nothing happened to develop this energy as a source for power.

Why?

The petrochemical-industrial complex had already put a lot of money into burning fossil fuels,and internal combustion.

The energy that surrounds us is free for all.

Oil means profit.

People knew that someday all this pollution would build into a green house effect,but that was far in the future.

Let future generations deal with the aftermath of greed,and hubris.

There is money to be made.

Well,the future is now.

It is time to invest in new ways of powering our world.

There is money in innovation......Let the dinosaurs be.

INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGY NOW!

Is Your Bank Safe???

Every Friday Night

At closing time on friday nights the FDIC moves in to take over banks who have failed due to risky bets.

These banks are warned in advance by a court order to cease and desist.

This information is not shared with the customers,or employees of the bank.

There are three ways to close a bank

1.Close the bank,and pay off depositors.

2.Take over of operations by FDIC.

3.Sell the sick bank to the highest bidder,who is quaranteed up to 80% of it's deposits by FDIC.

Last year 25 banks failed.

This year we already have 16 failed banks.

Dozens more will fail this year alone.

The FDIC expects to spend 65 billion dollars on closing failed banks over the next five years.

Allowing banking institutions to grow too large is the same as letting the other monopolies who have tried to hold the nation hostage to it's demands have their way.

Teddy Roosevelt was a trust buster for this very reason.

Too much power in the hands of too few,always leads to abuse.

Let these paper tigers fail,and replace them with smaller,easy to regulate community banks.

Keep your money in your neighborhood......fix your own potholes with local labor.

Mr president,
I think the time has come to put the nation back on the gold standard.
We can all see what happens when speculators are left unchecked by any body that represents the interests of the common people.
We will not make it thru another crap shoot where the house gets to do it over everytime they lose a bet.
If markets around the world could come together to put a fair market value on an ounce of gold we could easily determine what goods and services are really worth.
We have inspectors who go around taking inventory of nuclear weapons because no one doubts that we could all perish in an instant without sane leadership.
No more tricks for the holding of power and knowledge.
Let all have a change at being what they were sent here to be.
Not everyone went to law school,but we are fooled by lawyers everyday who are supposed to represent us.
Return to ways of commerce that common people can work,and succeed in.
The people have lost confidence in paper and plastic.
Our resouces are huge.Find them....refine them...sell them at fair market value.
Make our nation once again...the world's gold standard.

Say Man…..I was Just listening to Craig and Jim Brenan from Alberta ,Canada.
These cats are co-leaders of a Jazz combo called “ The Brenan Brothers” Band.
Super-hip  young cats that have really heard and felt the music that has come before them.
Trombonist Craig , and , Saxophonist ,  Jim have achieved a blues laden laid back funky nasty Jazz style that has all of the 60’s genre right down to the pigfeet and beer.
The supporting cast of , Rubim de Toledo Bass , Terrell Stafford  Trumpet , Dana hall , Drums, and Jamie Saft , Keyboardist/Producer, ,deliver a drive that makes the horns and the listener have to hold on for dear life.
For a top grade musical experience check out this group.

Press Release: 
RON KAPLAN
One of today’s finest singers of jazz standards, Ron Kaplan has carved out an exemplary career over the course of five albums by following in the footsteps left by legends such as Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett. One of Kaplan’s best albums, LOUNGING AROUND, captures the mood and ambience of a small, hot jazz combo as if they were mesmerizing a martini-sipping crowd at an intimate lounge in any city, U.S.A.
Although recorded before his last album, SALOON, the LOUNGING AROUND CD had limited distribution (mostly sold at concerts) when originally released and it eventually went out of print. Now remixed, remastered and substantially restructured, LOUNGING AROUND is receiving its first national distribution and full marketing campaign.
Ron Kaplan's LOUNGING AROUND and his other CDs are available at online sites (such as cdbaby.com, towerrecords.com), digital download locations (including iTunes.com, rhapsody.com) and Kaplan's own ronkaplan.com.
