Confronting the Malefactors By PAUL KRUGMAN Published: October 6, 2011 There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear, but we may, at long last, be seeing the rise of a popular movement that, unlike the Tea Party, is angry at the right people. Fred R.

Whose Side Are You On: The Moral Clarity of Occupy Wall Street Posted: 10/7/11 12:00 PM ET R Once Occupy Wall Street demonstrations started to sweep across America, the mainstream media began to pay attention -- and sounded a chorus of criticism. The movement was disorganized; it had no agenda. It wasn't organized like the Tea Party. Fox News trotted out ace reporter Geraldo Rivera -- really -- to charge that European anarchists, paid illegal aliens, and out and out leftists were behind the innocent kids. Herman Cain led disapproving Republicans, calling the movement "un-American," when he should have been celebrating what it was doing for pizza sales. Virtually everything ...
The US Empire: A Tragic Comedy in Three Acts

What a delight it is to have an empire! Do the Swiss get to send out drones to kill people they don’t know in countries they’ve never been? No! The poor yodelers go around with long faces and visit their shrinks. Americans have troops in 170 countries. Where are the Swiss? Only in Switzerland and the Vatican. Alas, they will never know the joys of nation building and people murdering. We hear that Ron Paul was booed in the Republican presidential debates. Why? He suggested that we get out of the empire business, bring the troops home and become a civilized nation again. What a party pooper...a wet blanket...a killjoy! An empire is so much more entertaining. We already have ...

#29. To: Eric Stratton (#28) LOL! Sorry, I really had no idea the mere mention of moose would cause you such emotional distress. Usually only some grass-eating emotional misfit will get so upset when I do that. I'll try not to do it again. Anyhow, tonight it is caribou. eskimo posted on 2011-10-06 19:04:07 ET Reply Trace Private Reply #30. To: eskimo (#29) Well, it's not every day that someone's retort to an argument not involving anything having to do with wildlife throws out a blanket reprisal that he's slain a moose and gutted it w/ his, or her I suppose as the case may be, bare hands. Since the ambiance is more of a challenged insecure young man in this case, ...
The Folly of Long Term Investing

The Folly of Long Term Investing Long Term Investing How's that working out for you? We're entering a deflationary period where the bankers will call in their loans and expropriate our property. If there are riots, they'll take our freedom and independence too. by Henry Makow, Ph.D. Being a "long term" investor these days requires steady nerves. Since July 22, your gains for the year have been wiped out and you are down at least 10%. You could be down 25-40% if you are in commodities. But you're not about to panic because you've invested for the long term. Your mantra is "buy and hold." You're not going to "time the market." You ...

Claudia Costa was driving her Ford Explorer north on Interstate 95, after picking up two girlfriends in Fort Lauderdale. It was a little after 4 a.m. on a Thursday in December 2007. Traffic was light. Costa’s friends had been clubbing. The swimsuit model and Playboy playmate was the designated driver. Suddenly, she saw two headlights barreling straight toward her. Costa cursed, then braced for a collision. Upon impact, the Explorer spun around and smacked another car, which kept going north. The SUV came to rest up against the median. If getting hit by a wrong-way driver wasn’t shocking enough, what happened next was even more jarring. An occupant of the wrong-way car, a 2006 ...

The age of easy growth is over. You probably won’t make any money buying stocks. And your house will never return to the levels of ’05-’06. And oh yes...you may not be able to get a job. But that’s the good news. We’ll deal with the bad news some other day. Today, we’re going to stick with this good news. People in the developed countries are going to stop thinking so much about GDP, which measures the gross amount of economic activity. Instead, they will be thinking about the quality of it. They’ll switch from thinking about their standard of living, measured in dollars or pounds or euros, and begin worrying more about the quality of their lives. ...
Police State Justice Under Obama

Police State Justice Under Obama - Stephen Lendman Lawlessness, injustice, and contempt for democratic values define his administration. He delivered change all right - for the worst, and nothing ahead looks promising. Obama-style "rules of engagement" include bullets, bombs, slit throats, knives in the back, or drone attacks justice. Targeted victims are declared guilty by accusation. Due process and judicial fairness are discarded artifacts. US citizens are as vulnerable as global enemies. No one is safe anywhere in a world ruled by rogue leaders, taking the law into their own hands with impunity. As a result, freedom and security were jettisoned to memory hole oblivion. ...

Slippery when read Posted By Stephen M. Walt Friday, September 30, 2011 - 4:25 PM Share Writing in the Washington Quarterly, Kenneth Pollack and Ray Takeyh have a rather bizarre piece calling for the United States to "double down" on Iran, including direct efforts to destabilize the clerical regime. While rejecting preventive war -- at least for the moment -- they call for a variety of new pressures, including the use of Special Forces and other military means to ramp up the pressure. Although filled with protective caveats, their article portrays these escalated pressures as something of a last-ditch effort to convince Iran to give up its nuclear enrichment program. Like U.S. ...

Occupy Wall Street’ Protesters Harassed While Banker Crooks Go Free It had to be a case of mistaken identity. Protesters had been swarming Wall Street and Lower Manhattan for a week. There were at least six arrests the first day Occupy Wall Street camped out and chanted near the New York Stock Exchange. There were dozens more by the weekend. By Saturday, the hundreds of protesters appeared to have lit a fuse with New York City police. There were rough arrests that bordered on brutality. Pepper spray brought tears and pain. And to a nation’s shock, not one of the police targets was a banker. So much for law and order. If you want to know how a nation supposedly by and for the ...

Given the US government's repeated protection of the Wall Street, which caused the economic crisis, do you think… a) the United States is headed for a double-dip recession 18 % b) the US economy will slowly recover at the expense of global economies 9 % c) the US will plunge into recession again and spark another global financial crisis 36 % d) the burden of the economic woes will prompt a popular revolution in the US 37 % US economic collapse may be best thing for the planet. US will "run out of money" and stop attacking Israel's enemies. Leaders then will be able to concentrate on economic development instead of preoccupying themselves with the illegal Israeli ...

Who won the war in Iraq? (Here's a big hint: It wasn't the United States) Posted By Thomas E.

By Peter Van Buren Best Defense guest unraveller When wars end, usually there is a winner and a loser. Greeks burn down the city for the win; Trojans accept a dummy horse for the epic loss, like that. As we near the end of the U.S. military campaign in Iraq, and note the beginning of the State Department occupation (the formal mission handover is Oct. 1), it is a good time to decide who lost and who won, and what ...

A Look at the Long-Term Trends in Government Spending If you believe the papers, markets fall because of “uncertainty surrounding the Eurozone debt crisis...” or “an unexpected rise in jobless claims...” or “some other unexpected economic phenomenon that threw experts for a loop.” Conversely, if we are to believe the mainstream media, markets rally due to “renewed confidence in the Eurozone...” or “a hunky dory jobs report...” or “because something finally fell in line with what a panel of experts had predicted.” None of this is true, of course. At least not on purpose. Call it reactive reporting...sometimes known as ...

JAMES ALTUCHER: Eliminate The FDA, Insurance Companies, And Medical Education To Save Lives James Altucher | Sep. 28, 2011, 8:00 AM | 237 | 3 I’m a doctor. That’s not quite enough. Some might take that to mean I’m a “Doctor of Philosophy”. A PhD. In fact, I was rudely thrown out of graduate school. I asked to at least use the office for the summer but they said, “No.” I needed to pack all my stuff and be out by afternoon. While packing my desk I found a woman’s earring underneath but that’s another story. No, what I really mean is I’m a “MEDICAL” Doctor. In other words, you can come to me with your ailment, I can either ...

Anita Perry Defends Her Husband’s Job Creation Record: ‘People Are Hungry For’ Minimum Wage Jobs By Marie Diamond on Sep 28, 2011 at 4:30 pm Anita Perry, the wife of presidential contender and Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R), took to the campaign trail in Iowa today to defend her husband against a growing wave of criticism and scrutiny from the right. In between brushing away criticism of her husband’s debate performance and positions on immigration and the HPV vaccine, she made a surprising admission. While parroting her husband’s jobs claims, she also conceded that not all the jobs Texas has created during her husband’s tenure are high-paying jobs — in ...

The Latest Orchestrated Threat and The End of History A By paul craig roberts (about the author) Become a Fan Become a Fan (228 fans) -- Page 1 of 1 page(s) opednews.com AdChoices Have you ever before heard of the Haqqanis? I didn't think so. Like Al Qaeda, about which no one had ever heard prior to 9/11, the "Haqqani Network" has popped up in time of need to justify America's next war -- Pakistan. President Obama's claim that he had Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden exterminated deflated the threat from that long-serving bogyman. A terror organization that left its leader, unarmed and undefended, a sitting duck for assassination no longer seemed formidable. Time ...

Alla Dreyvitser On the same July day that Donald Rumsfeld was patted down by airport security at Chicago’s O’Hare airport, I underwent an upper-body pat-down at Reagan National. I was posing spread-eagle in the full body scanner, in compliance with various mandates of the federal Transportation Security Administration, when something set off a female TSA agent, who began mumbling anxiously into her walkie-talkie. I leaned forward, trying to hear her description of my offense. I was wearing no shoes and no heavy jewelry, and I’d thrown my belt into a bin along with my BlackBerry, my bulging key ring and an Amazon Kindle. But something was clearly wrong. Finally, I heard ...

How a normal, healthy government behaves September 15, 2011 by POPEYE Filed under Israel 1 Comment (Glenn Greenwald) Relations between Israel and Turkey have become increasingly strained ever since Israel attacked the Mavi Marmara last year, shot and killed 9 people aboard (8 Turkish citizens and 1 American teenager), and then steadfastly refused to apologize. That’s because normal, healthy governments get angry when foreign armies shoot and kill their unarmed citizens for no good reason: Once a close ally of Israel, Turkey accelerated its growing stature across the Arab world — and further upended the regional order — when it downgraded diplomatic relations with Israel ...

Why shouldn't the military, after a radio message telling all the paycheck workers NOT to go to work on a Wednesday, and use all the predators drones and their Hellfire missles in the ME to good use in the USA, and blow the frick out of the Wall Steet criminal enterprise? Now that is a military operation I can support funding. And will benefit America's future.
