  • The Federal Reserve is Bankrupt

    The Federal Reserve is bankrupt for all intents and purposes. The same goes for the Bank of England! This article will focus largely on the Fed, because the Fed is the "financial land-mine".
    How long can someone who has stepped on a landmine, remain standing – hours, days? Eventually, when he is exhausted and his legs give way, the mine will just explode!
    The shadow banking system has not only stepped on the land-mine, it is carrying such a heavy load (trillions of toxic wastes) that (…)

    Whats a C.D.O. (Collateralized dept obligation)?
    Wall Street giants like Citigroup and Merrill Lynch have been severely shaken by their losses on an arcane innovation in finance: collateralized dept obligations, or C.D.O.’s.
    Worldwide, there is more than $1.3 trillion invested in C.D.O.’s. Residential mortgage-backed securities, or R.M.B.S., make up 56 percent of the assets in C.D.O.’s. So the slump in housing has had a huge ripple effect on these investments.
    Here’s how a C.D.O. (…)

    “Some get stoned, some get strange, sooner or later, it all gets real” (Neil Young)
    We live in a cloud with our inputs overloaded, like pool balls bouncing off the bumpers, looking for a hole. The news media tells us about the mean old Chinese that are harassing an unarmed US navy vessel. Those bad old Chinese, how dare they do that to our boys? Except that it is a US spy ship spying off the Chinese coast, and we want to blame the (…)

  • Canadian Activists and Lawyers United for Justice: Canadians must bar or prosecute Bush
    13 March 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Canadian Activists and Lawyers United for Justice:
    Canada must bar or prosecute Bush for torture, and mass murder. For he is a war criminal who lied that Saddam wouldn’t let our inspectors in. And, with Cheney, closed 911 FBI investigations before we were finished nabbing the actual suspects for mass murder - that’s a no-no where we’re from. See? I’m a strict Constitutionalist.
    Canada must bar or prosecute Bush for torture (…)

    You will by now have seen the statement by Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair reporting that I have withdrawn my previous acceptance of his invitation to chair the National Intelligence Council.
    I have concluded that the barrage of libelous distortions of my record would not cease upon my entry into office. The effort to smear me and to destroy my credibility would instead continue. I do not believe the National Intelligence Council could function effectively while its chair (…)

    The last pillar of faith is a fanatical belief. Despite all logic, is this reliance on some unseen guiding force that will rescue us. It will strike down schoolteachers with illness so that we may have another day to study before the big test. It guides rescuers to find the lost. The rescued give praise, all praise above while the rescuers just scratch their heads.
    As the investment banks and brokerage houses advertise their strict (…)
