...of new and risky financial instruments reveals a faith-based fundamentalist approach to the management of markets and risk." That's just a nice way of crediting this nightmare to blind stupidity, when in fact, the cancer within Washington these three men epitomize is none so benign but rather, malignant, thoroughly widespread, and terminal. No, what this actually reveals of the "three marketeers" is their willful participation in the engineered and purposeful destruction of our economy. Add...

...our monetary system is severely flawed and needs to be rethought, redesigned, and then rebuilt from the ground up? -------------------------------- ---snip--- Using panic to centralize power As I document in my forthcoming book, Power of Money: The Rise and Decline of the American Century, in every major US financial panic since at least the Panic of 1835, the titans of Wall Street -- most especially until 1929, the House of JP Morgan -- have deliberately triggered bank panics behind the ...

...that this presidential election will NOT be stolen? ----------------------- Can the GOP Steal The Election Again? You Betcha! by Ernest Partridge ---snip--- John McCain's campaign is imploding as the presidential candidate lapses into incoherence and petulance, and his running-mate becomes a national laughing-stock. In the face of an impending economic meltdown, the Democratic candidates, Obama and Biden, appear to be the only adults in the contest. Meanwhile, the GOP's erstwhile depend...

How many more faces like this will we see in coming months? -- how many have we seen already? (Image) And how many scenes like this? (Image) Many have said that what occurred in New Orleans in the wake of Katrina would soon be coming to a city near you -- were they right?

...McCain for is role (whether true or not) in causing the mishap that lead to a missile accidentally firing on the deck of the USS Forrestal back in 1967, which lead to subsequent explosions and fires that caused over 100 deaths? (Link)

By Ronald Bleier (Link) ---snip--- Like most people, on September 11th 2001, I believed the official story about the terror attacks. It took me almost three years to become a skeptic. The major issue that led me finally to question the official accounts was the manner of the collapse of the Twin Towers. After watching a one-hour critical video in the summer of 2004 (see below) I decided to look into the question of whether the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by pre-planned demoli...

...is a vampire (a real vampire), which is later confirmed by credible independent sources. Bush makes a speech following this announcement where he informs the U.S. citizenry that he no longer intends to feed off the blood of livestock, but instead will from now on, be sustained by children chosen as sacrifices to come from the general population of households making less than $65,000 a year, and will ask Congress to pass legislation authorizing this. He goes on to explain how urgent the matt...

...stay in hyper fear mongering mode until the public uproar against this bailout legislation softens? And secondly, do you think we will then see passage of a bailout bill? ---------------------------- Black Monday: Global investors vote “no” on Paulson bailout By Mike Whitney Online Journal Contributing Writer (Link) ---snip--- Paulson’s bill is designed to avoid a system-wide crash by clearing the banks’ balance sheets so they can resume extending credit to consumers and businesses.

...that we really need these companies -- I'm not convinced we do, or that they really add anything to the economy. The things of real value that actually make an economy strong, like a large and thriving manufacturing sector, cutting edge technology development, sensible regulation that prevents predatory behemoths from colluding to crush or swallow up all the smaller players in agriculture and other industries, etc, have disappeared. Finance hucksters doing creative smoke and mirrors illusio...

...is quoted with this remark concerning the current U.S. financial crisis: "The Fed is merely trying to inject money to keep prices not supported by fundamentals from falling. It is a prescription for hyperinflation. The only way to keep the price of worthless assets high is to lower the value of money. And that appears to be the Fed’s unspoken strategy." Do you agree that this is a fair summation of what the Fed is doing? ------------------------------------ The editorial: (Link) ---snip...

...attached as a precondition to any authorized bailout plan? Nader has come up with 10 market reforms that he says need to be implemented immediately along with any bailout. These reforms are: 1. No bailouts without conditions and reciprocity in the form of stock warrants. 2. No more lobbying for any company that is bailed out. 3. No golden parachutes or get-out-of-jail-free cards for guilty executives. 4. No bailouts without public hearings. 5. Reduce the moral hazard in U.S. mortgage m...

And secondly, do you believe this puts us on the fast track for hyper-inflation? ------------------------------------ US economy: Rudderless and reeling from direct hits By Paul Craig Roberts Online Journal Contributing Writer ---snip--- The open question is: what do these new liabilities do to the Treasury’s own credit standing? For now, this question is submerged. The traditional practice of...

Because it only offers further confirmation (as if we needed any) that our illegitimate Ruling Class views its own citizenry (us) as the real threat. Our incremental creep toward the police state is obvious, undeniable, and yes, very unnerving. I can remember seeing the movie RoboCop when it came out in 87' and being unnerved by the killer robot the crooked city administrator was using for security -- it looked to me like our Orwellian future staring me in the face, and now I know that's exa...

Al Zain’s documentary is a full-length feature examining the attack on Ne...

...gotta love these terms. What was the one Charlie Gibson used when interviewing Palin? Anticipatory self-defense? Here are some other good ones: collateral damage, extrajudicial, enhanced interrogation, enemy combatants, rendition, detainees, etc. Let's see if we can use all these in one run-on sentence. And in other news, U.S. anticipatory self-defense operations against Iran continued today as the Pentagon reported significant collateral damage in their most recent extrajudicial mission...

Weird, since this right-wing political slime and corporate whore loathes, demonizes, mocks, fears and tries to destroy real populists. "Perfect populist pitch," beamed CBS analyst Jeff Greenfield right after Palin's big speech at the GOP fawnfest in St. Paul. In his less infatuated moments, Greenfield surely must realize how ludicrous his comment was, since once, long ago...
