America is Insolvent. Why Would China’s Rating Agency Rate US Sovereign Debt AA When it is No Better Than Junk?
by Matthias Chang
Global Research, July 19, 2010
For all intent and purposes, the United States is insolvent.
This is not my personal assessment but that of world renowned “experts” and economists, and financial institutions. Just google “US Debts” and you can find thousands of analysts stating that there is no way that the US can ever pay off its debts. The US cannot (...) -

NETANYAHU ON VIDEO: THE U.S. IS ‘EASY’ TO MANIPULATE
Posted on Jul 18, 2010
The U.S. is easy—or so says Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli prime minister was recorded in 2001, apparently without his knowledge, claiming that the U.S. was “easy” to manipulate and that Israel should launch a broad attack against the Palestinian Authority that would be “so painful that the price will be too heavy to be borne.”
Netanyahu was not prime minister at the time of his comments, which were made in (...) -

The fickle and cyclical evolution of history, could make two U.S. presidents (separated in time by about 50 years), were united by economic recession and the wars that will receive as an inheritance. So, Obama and Kennedy would pass into history as sociological phenomena using intelligent mass of new audiovisual technologies to exploit his undeniable personal charisma, telegenia and power of the Word, have been two people with no experience or political ideology (...) -
Welcome to Hell: An open letter to Mr. Clint Guidry of South Louisiana

By Pubali Ray Chaudhuri Online Journal Associate Editor
"Since it is September 11th we’re talking about, perhaps it’s in the fitness of things that we remember what that date means, not only to those who lost their loved ones in America last year, but to those in other parts of the world to whom that date has long held significance. This historical dredging is not offered as an accusation or a provocation. But just to share the grief of history. To thin the mists a little. To say to (...) -

Since Israel’s all-out assault on Gaza nearly a year and half ago, Palestinian officials have discontinued all direct talks with the Israelis and have been talking to the Americans. US presidential envoy George Mitchell has (...) -

FOLLOWING THE ROMANS
Submitted by Dock Treece on Thu, 15 Jul 2010
If the last couple weeks are any judge, it doesn’t look like the stock market is going to crash – at least not yet. Unfortunately, this has hardly stopped the dooms-dayers from predicting a return to the Stone Age. Some of the theories coming out sound an awful lot like Jimmy Carter, just much worse.
In their analyses, many economists (and conspiracy theorists) observe similarities between current economic (...) -
