    Bankrupt Miami in Fiscal Emergency, Breaks Employee Contracts, Hikes Property Taxes
    Mike "Mish" Shedlock | Aug. 31, 2010 Miami is bankrupt. Unfortunately the city refuses to admit it. In an enormously foolhardy attempt to make ends meet, in spite of the fact that Miami home prices have been hammered and 1-in-8 are unemployed, the County keeps pouring on the painful tax and fee increases.
    As you recoil from your tax warning notice today, ponder this: those multiple tax hikes aren’t the (…)

  • Labor Day and the Easter Bunny
    3 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    Monday is Labor Day, a national holiday in America that’s come to be as meaningless as the Easter bunny. It is a holiday that millions of Americans struggled to bring into existence. Hundreds more died or were maimed or beaten, they were bloodied but they were not bent. They were shot at by national guardsman, policeman, sheriffs and hired thugs but were not turned back. They were turned out of their company houses during snowstorms. They had firehoses turned on them in subfreezing (…)

  • The Bull
    2 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    In the 1933 Paramount motion picture “Tillie and Gus”, W.C. Fields said:
    “There comes a time in the affairs of men, when we must take the bull by the tail, and face the situation.”
    The term “motion pictures” is rather archaic nowadays, but there’s nothing archaic about W.C.’s insightful wisdom—almost 80 years ago spinning a clear image of precisely where we are in 2010. Indeed, ours is a confusing time of wars over fossil energy, imperialism, secrecy, disinformation, massive upward (…)

  • Video: Activists Stage “Peace Charade” at White House
    1 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    On September 1, 2010, at noon, in front of the White House, Human Rights activists staged a “peace charade” skit. Its purpose was, according to their press release, to serve as a theatre parody of the “farce masquerading as [Mideast] peace talks,” currently being conducted by the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, Palestine’s Mahmoud Abbas and Israel’s “Bibi” Netanyahu. Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, was the leader of the demonstration.

    Mister President,
    Last August 13th, nineteen mountain climbers from the Southwest of France scaled the highest summit of our Basque-Bearn Pyrenees, the Auñamendi Mountain (2,504 m).
    We were demanding, by this symbolic act, in the name of their many friends in our region, the liberation of five Cubans – (…)

  • Brave Cincinnatus
    1 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    The summer heat is fading and it brings a welcome relief but also a worrisome fear that the winter cold is right behind it. Each season brings with it a different set of problems each inverse of the other but still mainly the same. The changing season is making me angry because it marks the passage of time and I am still here. I’m still living in this nasty fetid little room hiding out like Anne Frank and dreaming of a job in concentration camp America.
    While I was at (…)

  • Withdraw the Last Combat Politicians from Washington
    1 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    Pretending to end a war and occupation, while stationing 50,000 soldiers, 18,000 mercenaries, and 84,000 support contractors in massive and permanent military bases in Iraq is a far cry from what candidate Barack Obama described as ending "the mind-set that got us into war in the first place." It fits better with Nobel Peace laureate Obama’s description of war as "not only necessary but morally justified."
    Over the past 20 years, the United States has imposed on Iraq two intense wars and (…)

    Drugs, Money and Central Banks
    30.08.2010
    “The central banking-warfare investment model” is really a control model, through which a small group of people can control the most resources on the most profitable basis. Essentially what happens is: Central banks print money and then the military makes sure that other parties accept it and that the financial system continues to have liquidity.
