If the U.S. populace somehow imagines that its members are viewed any differently than any other populations across the world that are used to produce maximal profits for the top economic class, there's a rude awakening in store ahead. Further, most legislators simply do not care whether middle and lower class interests are or aren't well served as long as they, themselves, can somehow make out well in the times ahead.

The Cunning Realist



by staff

What is there to say about Ben Bernanke’s reappointment that I haven’t already said here and in this article? This is a terrible decision by Obama. You cannot credibly claim to be an agent of change, then praise and retain a key holdover from a disastrous administration — a beneficiary of the same wisdom and judgment that produced Miers, Kerik and Brownie as fellow nominees, and a profoundly mediocre policymaker who played an important role in one of history’s most destructive economic busts...

Torture: No pardons, no excuses for the real terrorists

Center for a Stateless Society
by Alex R. Knight III

08/26/09

Look, it’s all well and fine, given the inherent nature of government, to cherry-pick big time and slap the wrists of a few sadistic individuals who work for one of the American government’s numerous spy agencies because a few select people were treated badly by them. It’s another, in the stark light of reality, to excuse the mass atrocities of the middle-eastern wars and those who authorized them; the vicious foreign policy stances that enabled them; and the money taken from Americans by the IRS and other taxing agents at gunpoint which pays for them. In short, no one should be making excuses for what government is and what it does — the evidence itself puts paid to that.

Favilla, Les Echos: "Bonuses are one of the summer's ongoing soap operas. They contain all the elements: money intoxication, the mysterious image of those invisible people who are traders and news fed by some banks' sensational declarations about the continuation of their precrisis practices and by governments' martial communiques promising the end of those practices. All the tumult gives rise to a certain confusion."
