Wall Street Bailout = Class Warfare

“In that case the financial class will have won another battle in its long war against the producing class. It will be again as was said about the maneuvers of the Second Bank of the United States two centuries ago: ‘The bank was saved; only the people were ruined.’ Injecting throughout the world financial system their bogus and unregulated financial instruments, like… Continue

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Against my better judgement I watched George W Bush’s address to the nation last night. I wanted to see how he was going to spin the latest rip off and fraudulent scheme his handlers and puppeteers have cooked up to fleece us of our hard earned wealth and assets.

But what else should we expect in a war zone, in a military economy? The war in Iraq is estimated to cost three trillion dollars by the time it… Continue

Are We There Yet?

“Fed and Treasury officials have identified the disease. It's called deleveraging, or the unwinding of debt. During the credit boom, financial institutions and American households took on too much debt. Between 2002 and 2006, household borrowing grew at an average annual rate of 11%, far outpacing overall economic growth. Borrowing by financial institutions grew by a 10% annualized rate. Now many… Continue

What 9-11 Wrought

“On 9/11 the world's only military superpower was apparently oblivious to the location of rogue airliners in it's airspace for over an hour, and military commanders were left perplexed on how to deal with the situation of hijackers using these planes as flying bombs. This confusion resulted in fighter jets flying around aimlessly whilst the hierarchy fully assessed what was going on, and this total… Continue
