Snopes.com says the “American Express Black Card” actually began as an “urban myth” – a special credit card that was issued only to the very rich, and very powerful. AmEx Europe director Doug Smith says the rumor “wasn’t true” but added that the company “decided to capitalize on the idea anyway.” In 1999, AmEx introduced its Centurion Card. What do we know about the Black Card? Well, it’s black, for starters. It is a charge card – and you’ve got to pay off the entire balance each month. Unlike other credit cards, the American Express Black Card is actually made out of titanium, not plastic. You may be wondering how to get the coveted American Express Black Card. You first need to determine if you even qualify for it. You must have a high credit rating. You must also already have an AmEx Platinum card. You also need to have significant assets and extravagant spending habits. How extravagant? You must charge at least $250000 each year on your Platinum card. And then there are the fees.

America owes China 1 TRILLION dollars, China owns America. America stops drilling for oil but Obama gives Brazil 2 billion to drill for oil. Where did that 2 billion come from? OOH that’s right the tyrannical government is stealing it from the American citizens. How many people are awake to this? American idol got more votes than any election. The American people are BLINDED by all the entertainment, fast food, games, television, phones, comedy, fun stuff to do or work and paying off bills that have been put on their shoulders that they will never ever be able to pay off with 20% credit cards and 4 gallon gas soon to double. The economic collapse of the United States is inevitable. IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP TO THE GOVERNMENT TYRANNY!!!! If you haven’t figured this out yet this is all biblical. Revelation 17: 9-10 explains this. 5 have fallen (Its speaking about world powers Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Greece.) 1 is (well that was Rome in John’s day when this was written) and 1 is yet to come (it is obvious America is a world power) out of the 7 comes an 8th king (The Federal Reserve and The United Nations) The Federal Reserve is not even apart of our government, It is the largest business in the world owned by bankers that named their business Federal and signed a treaty with America on December 23 in 1913 to make American citizens responsible for their business transactions.

The state of California is getting in on the act with what might be the mother of all garage sales. Forklift loads of “stuff” is getting set out for the great California garage sale. It’s not the first state garage sale but it is probably the biggest — with promises of great savings. “It’s a good opportunity for folks to come in, especially in this economy, and buy something they really need,” said Eric Lamoureux of the Department of General Services, which is conducting the garage sale. Lamoureux said buyers can expect credenzas for $40, maybe even less. Cell phones will also be at a fraction of the cost of new, while computers can be had for around $50 and Sacramento Kings bobblehead collections will also be for sale. Hundreds of cars are up for auction. Expect to pay between a $1000 and $4000 for most. While buyers will get a deal, officials warn there won’t be any test drives. Credit cards or cashier’s checks will be accepted for vehicle purchases.
