  • Sen. Barbara Mikulski: Dubya Made Her Do It!
    8 October 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    “He who makes excuses accuses himself.” - A French Proverb
    Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), on Sept. 22, 2008, was up to one of her old tricks—talking out of both sides of her mouth! She was on the Senate floor, on Capitol Hill, reading an anti-bailout rant. (1) If you didn’t know any better, you would think that she was a hero of the Middle Class. Sen. Mikulski pretended to rage about how Dubya had a track record of “stampeding” the U.S. Congress into voting for draconian laws, such as the (…)

    The Terminator Cries Uncle By David Glenn Cox
    Yes, Governor Arnold cries for his Uncle to save him! He warns Treasury Secretary Paulson in his best Austrian accent, "You must help us, ve are close to running out of cash to fund day-to-day government operations and we are unable to access routine, short-term loans.”
    A year ago the pundits and experts assured us that it was the subprime market mess that was causing the stock market disruption. They predicted losses (…)

  • Has Sarah Palin Been Picked as the Titular Head of the Coming Police State?

    What’s the plan? It is this. McCain doesn’t matter. Reputable dermatologists are discussing the fact that in simply actuarial terms, John McCain has a virulent and life-threatening form of skin cancer. It is the elephant in the room, but we must discuss the health of the candidates: doctors put survival rates for someone his age at two to four years. I believe the Rove-Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse, an Evita figure, to put a popular, populist face on the coming police (…)

  • Betrayed by the Bailout: The Death of Democracy

    On this date, October 3, 2008, the American people were betrayed by those whom they had elected to represent them. The members of Congress who voted for the Wall Street “bailout” violated their oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution” ... “that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same” ... “and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: ...”
    Without holding any meaningful hearings or public discussions and (…)

  • Where Bush’s Arrogance Has Taken US

    Where Bush’s Arrogance Has Taken US
    By Jim Hightower, Hightower Lowdown. Posted August 23, 2006.
    An illegal war, a long list of eroded rights, and a country run by and for the benefit of corporate campaign donors — all courtesy of the imperial presidency.
    During his gubernatorial days in Texas, George W let slip a one-sentence thought that unintentionally gave us a peek into his political soul. In hindsight, it should’ve been loudly broadcast all across our land so people could’ve (…)

    The negative return economy: a discourse on America’s black budget

  • The Rise Of The Fourth Reich
    3 October 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Everyone likes to say, "Hitler did this", and, "Hitler did that". But the truth is Hitler did very little. He was a world class tyrant, but the evil actually done by the Third Reich, from the slave-labor camps to WW2 was all done by German citizens who were afraid to question if what they were told by their government was the truth or not, and who because they did not want to admit to themselves that they were afraid to question the government, refused to see the truth behind the Reichstag (…)

The identities of the stonewallers are uncertain, but suspects include eight Republicans and the Senate Minority Leader (names provided below the fold.

    Grand Theft America Financial Crime of the Century
    The crime of the century. The greatest one ever. Author Danny Schechter calls it "Plunder." The title of his important new book on the subprime and overall financial crisis. Economist Michael Hudson and others refer to a kleptocracy. A Ponzi scheme writ large. Maybe an out-of-control Andromeda Strain. An economic one. Deadly. Unrecallable. Science fiction now real life. Potentially catastrophic. World (…)
