Economic Crisis
Reading about everything that’s happening with the banks is kind of depressing. How the hell did the sh*t hit the fan so hard? The government just bailed out stinking AIG with a $85 billion loan. And all the pundits and experts think we haven’t seen the last of this crisis. When these companies mess up, we need to bail them out with taxpayer money? Or should the Fed keep printing more of our fiat currency, devalue the dollar, and cause inflation? This shows exactly why there needs to be regulation, because when they f*ck up this bad, it affects the whole economy. Deregulation? Free market principles? What the hell do you call the goverment buying up and controlling major financial institutions?
We Own The World
Interesting thoughts on US foreign policy by Noam Chomsky. His point is basically that the United States is not a real democratic state and the US makes its policy decisions based on the arrogant, ridiculous assumption that it owns the world, regardless of domestic or foreign opinions. And no one, at least not in the media, ever questions this. Title may seem confusing so to be clear, I am completely against most of this administration’s policies.
This Article is Downright Frightening
Uhm, the title says it all. The following link is for an article describing secretive executive orders and laws Bush has signed very recently. It gives the executive branch expansive powers and tramples on our constitutional rights. Do we live in a police state?
911 Loose Change
This is a documentary using real video footage, actual documents, and interviews to analyze each event of 911 and show links between those events and the U.S. documents. You really have to watch this. The documentary makes a very convincing argument that all the “attacks” of 911 weren’t really what it seemed like. In fact, it argues that 911 was orchestrated by the government as a pretext for its currrent foreign policy and much increased executive power. It has very chilling implications.
