Hound Flying -- Lenoir and Lake Hickory

(Part 1) This was a flight out of Lenoir around eastern Caldwell County, southern Alexander County, northwestern Catawba Country, and straddling Lake Hickory.

The plane that I flew in to take these pictures is a single seater in the front and single seat in the back. If you might be interested in going up for a flight send me an e-mail to hickoryhound@gmail.com and I will put you in contact  with the pilot who can make the arrangements to make that happen.

We were coordinating where we were going the first 5 minutes, so the video gets more productive (the lay of the land) about 5 minutes in. I was having to make some adjustments on the GPS and Ipad during those first 5 minutes.You can skip through the various parts of the video. This is raw footage. I didn't edit it. We were flying at 2,000 to 3,000 feet and between 75 to 90 mph.



20160214 - More video from Trump in Hickory

 Here are some short videos I shot of the Trump visit yesterday. The scenes basically not captured by television include a short scene of the tight security, media set up, and the three protest incidents.

Hound on the Donald Trump event in Hickory -- March 14, 2016

I've been laying low and not produced anything in a while, but the Hickory Hound was granted press credentials to the Trump event. Top notch produced event. Mr. Trump was about two hours late due to the fog that rolled into the area overnight and failed to lift until late morning. By 7am this morning the line wound around the inner campus of LR. I'd say there were 3,000 people in line at that time. We spoke with a couple of girls from Bristol, TN. There were media from all over NC present at the event. This was much more than a regional event. Trump could have easily filled LR's football stadium. Protest wise, there were very few protestors and for the most part they were peaceful. There were some people flying Mexican flags and driving around in pickups and cars flying the Mexican flag. 
Early in the Town Hall discussion with Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, Trump protesters (I believe 7) three rows directly in front of us stood up and ripped open their shirts with protest writing on the t-shirts. They were quickly removed from Monroe auditorium. The interruption lasted a little over a minute and was met with USA chants. The seats were quickly replaced by some of the at least 4,000 people who stood outside hoping to find a seat. There were two more interruptions during the event, but it was obvious that security was very much on top of the situation and the subsequent folks were removed even quicker than the previous and the seats were replaced. The event was quite the spectacle. This could not be identified as a normal political event. The Trump supporters were jacked up to the max. 
The event lasted around an hour and then Mr. Trump left quickly, headed to the airport to his jet and was out of here. It was obvious that Trump hit home on incompetent politicians, bad trade deals, the negative impact that those deals have had on the area, and that those issues must be addressed if were are to turn around the area. Trump gave the people what they wanted to see. As time permits I will relate more of the happenings of this event to you. I will say it was very professionally run and police and security were very much on top of the situation and did an excellent job with disturbances.

Economic Relevance - David Stockman, Nomi Prins, and other info - January 31, 2016

David Stockman interviewed by Greg Hunter - USA Watchdog - January 31, 2016 - Former White House Budget Director David Stockman contends, “We are nearing the end. I think the world economy is plunging into an unprecedented deflation recession period of shrinkage that will bring down all the markets around the world that have been vastly overvalued as a result of this massive money printing and liquidity flow into Wall Street and other financial markets.”

On gold, Stockman says, “I think it’s more of an insurance policy and an option on the ultimate failure of today’s form of central banking. When, finally, the Keynesians, who are running all the central banks, when they are totally repudiated, I think gold will soar in value.”

We Are Getting To The End - SGT Report - Nomi Prins - January 31, 2016 - Nomi Prins, the Best selling author of All The President's Bankers, joins me to document the collapse of the western banking and economic systems. Nomi says, "We're getting to the end of what's possible in terms of stimulation, I would have thought the end should have happened years ago. But the reason it didn't was because of the epic coordinated efforts between the major central banks... and that element has left markets with the APPEARANCE of health they haven't actually had because of true growth. And there's only so much you can do of that. These are desperate actions."

Economic Relevance - Gerald Celente and Max Keiser - January 26, 2016

Gerald Celente on USA Watchdog with Greg Hunter - Trends researcher Gerald Celente predicts, “It’s a global recession and it’s already on. What they could do to prop up the stock markets, I don’t know, but our forecast is they won’t be able to. It’s also very important to understand that the people will not blame Obama for the declining economy. They are not tuned in enough, and they have been pushed down to I don’t care and I don’t believe in hope and change anymore. It will be neutral as to the party preference.”

On the upcoming 2016 election, Celente says, Conservatives aren’t conservative anymore and liberals aren’t liberals anymore. . . . We see it as Trump and Clinton, at this point, and Trump is not going to get the woman vote. At this point, I think Clinton can beat Trump.”

On the subject of the stability of the banks, Celente says, “The only money I keep in a bank is money to run our business because here is the deal. If there is a terrorist strike, false flag or real, there will be a bank holiday and . . . bail-ins. The global banking system is in a bear market. China . . . Japan . . . . France bear market . . . UK is in a bear market. We are told everything is going to be okay. I wouldn’t put my money in the banks and I’ll tell you why. (They’ll say) We got your money and will give it back if and when we want to. Look what happened in Greece. Look what happened in Cyprus. . .”

Economic Relevance - Catherine Austin Fitts - You don't get away with anything

Catherine Austin Fitts of the Solari Report and Solari.com was on the Jeff Rense show - Internet Talk Radio. She spoke of the elite running the world and related a story from Carl Jung, colleague of Sigmund Freud and founder of analytical psychology.

Catherine relates Jung's story of a manipulative, aristocratic woman whose life decisions lead to loneliness and despair -  http://solari.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/memories-dreams-reflections-psychiatric-activities.pdf - from Karma Means You Don’t Get Away With Anything

She speaks about the cultural debasement of Western Civilization, relating it in part to entrainment through television and smart phones. Entrainment is bringing human thought processes into the synergy of the collective. Essentially cult behavior - a manner to control the masses.
