  • The Killing Silence of Alan Greenspan
    3 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Our lives begin to end the day we become ‘silent’ about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
    He held one of the highest positions that can be bestowed on a public servant. I’m referring to Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (1987-2006). After leaving office, he penned a tell-all book that filled his pockets with mega-greenbacks. It’s entitled, “The Age of Turbulence.” In it, he made this shocking statement: “It is politically (…)

    by Gabriel Kolko
    In an interview with Der Spiegel online, American military historian Gabriel Kolko argues that the situation in Iraq is worse than ever and that the artificial nation, created after World War I, is breaking up. The "surge," he says, is also failing.
    SPIEGEL: The long-awaited results of the "surge" are now in. Has the surge succeeded? Is there reason for optimism in Iraq?
    KOLKO: Both United States Gen. David H. Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker will deliver (…)

    The long-awaited “progress report” of Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker on the status of the occupation of Iraq has been made, providing Americans, via the compliant media, with the spectacle of loyal Bush yes men offering faith-based analysis in lieu of fact-based assessment. In the days and weeks that have since passed, two things have become clear: Neither Congress nor the American people (…)

    Ernest Hemingway explained the problem many years ago. The first thing politicians do to hide their mismanagement, he said, is inflate the currency; the second thing they do is go to war.
    Our currency has been inflated and we are at war. The demonization of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which you saw take place in New York City and on (…)

    Hannah Arendt
    For viewers eager to catch-up on rebroadcast C-SPAN2 interviews this past weekend, they had a chance to get a glimpse of the working logic of the formidable Neocon architect, Norman Podhoretz, who recently wrote "World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism."

    In the week in which General Patraeus reports back to US Congress on the impact the recent ‘surge’ is having in Iraq, a new poll reveals that more than 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens have been murdered since the invasion took place in 2003.
