What Our Declaration Really Said
Monday July 4, 2011
By E.J. Dionne, Jr.Our nation confronts a challenge this Fourth of July that we face but rarely: We are at odds over the meaning of our history and why, to quote our Declaration of Independence, “governments are instituted.”
Only divisions this deep can explain why we are taking risks with our country’s future we’re usually wise enough to avoid. Arguments over how much government should tax and spend are the very stuff of democracy’s give-and-take. Now, the (...)

July 4, 2011: The Cycle of Dependency and the Atrophy of Self-Reliance
Charles Hugh Smith, July 2, 2011
The 4th of July marks the birth of the nation, and as such is a good time to distinguish between the nation and its Central government, the Savior State.
The 4th of July is a fitting day to ponder the reality that we are at Peak Government, and the Savior State is unsustainable. This is a matter of accounting: no nation can spend more than it generates in surplus real output forever. (...)

The total cost to America of its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus the related military operations in Pakistan, is set to exceed $4 trillion – more than three times the sum so far authorised by Congress in the decade since the 9/11 attacks.

The World must stop Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI) occupation and genocide variously in Occupied Palestine, Occupied Syria, Occupied Haiti, Occupied Somalia, Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan. The World should make 4 July Independence From America Day.
We all know the great words of the 4 July 1776 American Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain (...)

When the Public Rises, We’ll Want an Ally in Congress
By :
David Swanson - Monday June 27, 2011

For the majority of people in the United States — a majority does not vote, a majority believes the government is broken, a majority thinks our public policy is headed in the wrong direction — the fact that we call this place a democracy is apparently outweighed by the fact that our national government almost never does what a majority of us want done. Some of the things we don’t want done include the destruction of the planet’s environment, the mass slaughter of (...)

The Federal Reserve Is Selling Paper Gold and Buying Physical Gold The good ole "American way"—through proxies

A couple of weeks ago, I pitched an idea to some associates of mine who are involved in SERIOUS [tonnage] PRECIOUS METALS procurement—physical metal only—let’s just say HUGE money. I asked them if they would be interested in purchasing an “option”—cash up front—for the exclusive rights [first right of (...)

Those Who Know Will Understand
BY JR NYQUIST09/17/2010
According to some experts the U.S. economy is one “event” away from a catastrophic sequence. My own variation on this sequence goes something like this: first, the dollar collapses; second, the government’s response prevents any chance for recovery; third, political unrest and destabilization begins; last, the defensive function of the state fails as external and internal enemies take advantage of the country’s (...)

CAMERON AND OBAMA: THE WAR WILL GO ON FOR YEARS
By :
Stop the War Coalition - Sunday June 26, 2011
Growing public opposition to war here and in the US is starting to have an impact on the politicians. But whatever the spin this week by Obama and Cameron, the reality is the war in Afghanistan will continue for at least another four years, with ever escalating loss of Afghan civilian and military lives. Thousands are going to die in a war that has no credible purpose or viable "exit strategy", outside of an increasingly desperate search for a way to get out without the US and its allies (...)

U.S. Investors Overexposed to U.S. Dollar Risk?
Merkfunds, 21/06/2011

Next, we (...)

by Andrew Hughes Global Research, May 23, 2009
After 8 years of the Bush-Cheney nightmare during which we saw the wanton destruction of Afghanistan and Iraq, the cynical negation of centuries of Law designed to protect the most basic human rights and a foreign policy worthy of Genghis Khan, there came along the "Great Black Hope" in the persona of Barack Obama.

The Super Rich Sabotage the Arab Revolutions
by Shamus Cooke Global Research, June 20, 2011
With revolutions sweeping the Arab world and bubbling-up across Europe, aging tyrants or discredited governments are doing their best to cling to power. It’s hard to over-exaggerate the importance of these events: the global political and economic status-quo is in deep crisis. If pro-democracy or anti-austerity movements emerge victorious, they’ll have an immediate problem to solve (...)
