AMEN: Democratic Defeat Imperils Health Care Overhaul - NYTimes

WASHINGTON — Scott Brown’s decisive Senate victory in Massachusetts imperiled the fate of the Democratic health care overhaul as House Democrats indicated they would not quickly approve a Senate-passed health care measure and send it to President Obama.

After a meeting of House Democratic leaders Tuesday night even as Mr. Brown’s victory was being declared, top lawmakers said they were weighing their options. But the prospect of passing the health care overhaul by pushing the Senate… Continue

Haiti: US Ships Blockade Coast To Thwart Exodus To America

"Port-au-Prince is a morgue," he said. "We need to migrate at least two million people."

A US aircraft carrier is spearheading a blockade of Haiti's waters as America prepares for a mass sea exodus of Haitians with thousands fleeing the devastated capital of Port-au-Prince.

US officials have drawn up emergency plans to cope with a mass migration crisis and have cleared spaces in detention or reception centres, including the Navy base at Cuba's Guantanamo… Continue

US: Record year for home foreclosures as unemployment continues to rise. Massive bailouts have put additional strain on the economy and have deepened the problem

MIAMI (AP) - A record 2.8 million households were threatened with foreclosure last year, and that number is expected to rise this year as more unemployed and cash-strapped homeowners fall behind on their mortgages.

The number of households that received a foreclosure-related notice rose 21 percent from 2008, RealtyTrac Inc. reported Thursday. One in 45 homes were sent a filing, which includes default notices, scheduled foreclosure auctions and bank repossessions.

French officials demand that the UN investigate America's "occupation" of Haiti as the U.S. turned away a French plane filled with medical supplies

A French minister has called for a United Nations investigation into the dominant US role in Haiti, saying international aid efforts are about helping the quake-stricken country, not "occupying" it.

US forces turned back a French aid plane carrying a field hospital from the damaged, congested airport in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince last week, prompting a complaint from French co-operation minister Alain Joyandet. The plane landed safely the following… Continue

More Gun Control Nonsense

The New York Times has another silly editorial on gun control. The paper’s editorial board is calling for a renewal of the assault-weapons ban, which expired in 2004.

The paper’s justification? “A survey of more than 130 local police chiefs and officials found 37 percent reporting an increase in assault weapons in street crime,” along with other evidence indicating an increased criminal use of assault weapons.

Notice the implication: If the Congress reenacts the… Continue

European Central Bank Prepares Legal Ground For Euro Rupture As Greek Crisis Escalates

Fears of a euro break-up have reached the point where the European Central Bank feels compelled to issue a legal analysis of what would happen if a country tried to leave monetary union.

The economic struggle facing Greece caused riots in December 2008

“Recent developments have, perhaps, increased the risk of secession (however modestly), as well as the urgency of addressing it as a possible scenario,” said the document, entitled… Continue

Obama Executive Order Seeks to "Synchronize and Integrate" State and Federal Military Forces

Executive Order Seeks to "Synchronize and Integrate"

In the wake of the Flight 253 provocation, over-hyped terrorism panics, and last year's Big Pharma and media-engineered hysteria over the H1N1 flu pandemic, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13528 on January 11.

Among other things, the Executive Order (EO) established a Council of Governors, an… Continue

New Emails Show AIG Mulled Bank Payment Disclosures

My take on this is that Reuters are inciting violence

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The New York Federal Reserve Bank actively worked with bailed out insurer AIG to build a case against disclosing details of AIG's payments to banks just days after the insurer considered making them public, documents released late on Saturday showed.

Lawyers for the Fed bank, which had taken over a pool of AIG assets as part of a $180 billion government bailout of the insurer in… Continue

Commerce, Christianity And Civilization Versus Free Trade: Letters In Reply To The London Times

Book by Henry Charles Carey (Economic Adviser To President Lincoln):

Early in the free-trade crusade it was announced in Parliament that the smuggler was to be regarded as the great reformer of the age, and from that hour to the present all the aid in the power of that body to give him has been rendered; Gibraltar, Malta, Nova Scotia, Canada, and other possessions, having been chiefly valued for the facilities they have afforded for setting at defiance the laws of nations with which… Continue

The Power Elite

Thomas Dye, a political scientist, and his students have been studying the upper echelons of leadership in America since 1972. These "top positions" encompassed the posts with the authority to run programs and activities of major political, economic, legal, educational, cultural, scientific, and civic institutions. The occupants of these offices, Dye's investigators found, control half of the nation's industrial, communications, transportation, and banking assets, and two-thirds of all… Continue

JPMorgan Chase Celebrates Solid Profits…And Bonuses

The unemployment rate may in double digits and foreclosures may be on the rise, but over at JPMorgan Chase life is good.

To hear Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, tell it, his bank could have done better last year, and he remains cautious about the coming year. And that after JPMorgan finished off 2009 with $11.7 billion in profits.

After borrowing $25 billion from the federal government in October 2008 to avoid fiscal calamity, the… Continue

National Security: The Big Fraud

The handwringing about the would-be Christmas Day airplane bomber and the politicians' tiresome declarations that it will never happen again miss the point: As long as the U.S. government pursues its imperial program of invasion, regime change, occupation, and sponsorship of corrupt governments in the Muslim world, Americans will be targets for avengers. This does not excuse the killing of innocents -- it merely points out an inevitable chain of events.

It's either foreign… Continue

The Supreme Court's Attacks on Freedom

Americans like lists. Most often, we get "Top Ten" lists, but this book is a top dozen list, a list of the most damaging Supreme Court decisions during and since the New Deal era. The authors, two lawyers with strong libertarian philosophies, set out to show which decisions have had the most detrimental impact by expanding the realm of government coercion and depriving people of their liberty. This, they correctly observe, is a target-rich environment. The Supreme Court has been blundering… Continue

At last, we know the truth. The Iraq debacle was dreamt up by two crazy men on a sofa

By: Stephen Glover

Over the years, I have written a fair number of pieces about Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's spin doctor.

I'm not his greatest fan. I believe he was a malign influence on British public life, particularly in relation to the Iraq war.

But until now I had assumed that Mr Campbell was essentially a rough-and-tumble former red-top tabloid journalist and… Continue
