The revelations regarding
big banks are a powerful condemnation. The role of federal law
enforcement in allowing big banks to engage in massive corruption with
no more than a slap on the wrist is at a minimum interesting. If you
hate banks, you might find this article rather interesting. It adds a
new dimension as to who is keeping the vast and futile drug war going.
Legalizing marijuana would be a rational start.…

War is looming and might be only one week away. I say this to put it in perspective. It stands to reason that it will surely happen before the November elections, for a variety of reasons. We know its coming because the chief drumbeaters are lunatics, drunk on megalomania and other hormonally secreted drugs.
We see the image of Israel attacking Iran but I do not think we clearly see the implications of it and how it will change our…

Random Thoughts on Elitism in Capitalist Democracies
I have noticed with more than passing interest that blue collar
workers in the industrial democracies are currently being made the
scapegoats for the current financial and economic crisis. In Greece,
they have actually mobilized the army to go after striking truck
drivers. Obama has not called out the national guard as of yet to
assault the American lumpenproletariat,…

Deflation Threats Are Best Contrarian Indicator
The amount of deflation rhetoric in the mainstream media has been continuing to surge this week. Yesterday there was an article in the Wall Street Journal entitled, "Defending Yourself Against Deflation" and on Monday Paul Krugman wrote an editorial in the New York Times entitled, "Why Is Deflation Bad?". We decided to do a simple Google News archive search to see when previous spikes in media chatter about the topic of deflation have…

The Man with the Bullhorn is a Lying Sack of Shit.
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
Well… I have to say it sometime. I didn’t want to say it because the next thing you know, someone will ask me why I let Jeff Rense link me or some other crap about something that isn't real and which I knowingly appreciate. I was astounded when Michael Rivero stopped printing my work and didn’t answer my emails but I never said anything bad about Michael. I just said I didn’t…

Is Money Really the Root of All 'Evil'?
I've come to believe that money is indeed at the root of nearly all
the so called 'evils', and certainly at the root of most of them. To a
large extent it has to do with the fact that money equals power, and
the world is full of megalomaniacs. WWI, which was one of the greatest
horrors of human history was over the natural resources of Africa and
Asia. Put more simply it was over…

I was a little disappointed when I saw the old buildings were now gone that I had known as a young boy. Every one of them replaced with a high-rise. It had been a long time since I had been to my hometown since moving North. I had driven to town hoping to see the old barber shop where my hair had been cut as a child. The orphanage would bring us kids downtown for a free haircut by the new barbers being trained.
As it was very early and hardly anyone on the street, I parked my truck…

With all her big brothers and sisters off to school, our ranch became a lonely place for our three-year-old daughter, Becky. She longed for playmates. Cattle and horses were too big to cuddle and farm machinery dangerous for a child so small. We promised to buy her a puppy but in the meantime, “pretend” puppies popped up nearly every day. I had just finished washing the lunch dishes when the screen door slammed and Becky rushed in, cheeks flushed with excitement. “Mama!” she cried. “Come see my…

The richest few don't need the rest of us as markets, soldiers or police
anymore. Maybe we should all emigrate
By Michael Lind
SalonHave the American people outlived their usefulness to the rich minority
in the United States? A number of trends suggest that the answer may be yes.
In every industrial democracy since the end of World War II, there has been
a social contract between the few and the many. In return for receiving a

It is not unusual for members of the diminishing upper middle class to drop $20,000 or $30,000 on a big wedding. But for celebrities this large sum wouldn’t cover the wedding dress or the flowers.
When country music star Keith Urban married actress Nicole Kidman in 2006, their wedding cost $250,000. This large sum hardly counts as a celebrity wedding. When mega-millionaire real estate mogul…

This summer, when Kellogg recalled 28 million boxes of Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops and Honey Smacks, the company blamed elevated levels of a chemical in the packaging.
Dozens of consumers reported a strange taste and odor, and some complained of nausea and diarrhea. But Kellogg said a team of experts it hired determined that there was "no harmful material" in…
