Too Big to Fail

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "The phrase 'Too big to fail' entered the modern American lexicon with a terrible vengeance a couple of years ago, after billions of tax dollars were deployed as spit and mortar to hold up failing companies which, if they actually did fail, would have sent the US and the rest of the world spiraling into some kind of mega-ultra-super depression. That's what we were told, anyway, and it may well be true, but that hardly gets rid of the rancid taste the phrase leaves behind when spoken."

Tremble, banks, tremble

The New Republic
by James K. Galbraith

07/09/10

The financial crisis in America isn’t over. It’s ongoing, it remains unresolved, and it stands in the way of full economic recovery. The cause, at the deepest level, was a breakdown in the rule of law. And it follows that the first step toward prosperity is to restore the rule of law in the financial sector...

Kapitulation vor der Klientel

Die schwarz-gelbe Gesundheitsreform ist ein Kotau vor den Kostentreibern und ein Schlag ins Gesicht der Arbeitnehmer.

Koalitionsbeschluß zum Ausstieg aus der Parität

Alles Lüge ... »Mehr Solidarität durch Kopfpauschale«

„Bundeskanzlerin Merkel behauptet, durch die Überforderungsklausel von zwei Prozent mit steuerfinanziertem Sozialausgleich garantiere die Kopfpauschale mehr Solidarität bei der Finanzierung der Gesundheitsausgaben als das heutige System. Das genaue Gegenteil ist der Fall: Das Prinzip der solidarischen Finanzierung steht auf dem Kopf, weil die Arbeitgeber aus der Pflicht entlassen werden und die kleinen Einkommen um ein Vielfaches stärker belastet werden als die Besserverdienenden…“ Info-Grafik Sozialpolitik von Johannes Steffen vom 19.

The Root of Economic Fragility and Political Anger

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "Missing from almost all discussion of America's dizzying rate of unemployment is the brute fact that hourly wages of people with jobs have been dropping, adjusted for inflation. Average weekly earnings rose a bit this spring only because the typical worker put in more hours, but June's decline in average hours pushed weekly paychecks down at an annualized rate of 4.5 percent."

Requiem for the unemployed

Fr33 Agents
by Szandor Blestman

07/15/10

The unemployed are on their way to becoming the sacrificial lambs of the power elite. They are about to be shoved under the bus and trampled under foot in the name of political expediency and correctness. Millions of men and women will soon be hung out to dry simply because they don’t have the political power or clout of the mega rich that inhabit Wall Street or the web spinning spiders crouched in their plush central banking offices ready to strike. Unfortunately, I am one of those who will go under the bus should this happen. Perhaps we will get a slight reprieve, hopefully, perhaps not, but sooner or later we will be forced to have to fend for ourselves. Big government has once again shown its indignation toward the little folk and I fear for the fate the central planners have in store for us...

An international court on Thursday ordered Britain to hold off on extraditing four terrorism suspects to the United States, saying it must show that life terms without parole in maximum security prisons would not violate Europe's human rights charter.

The BBC reported on July 4 that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the US ballistic missile base in Poland was not directed at Russia. The purpose of the base, she said, is to protect Poland from the Iranian threat. Why would Iran be a threat to Poland?

America Stands On The Precipice Of Total Collapse

World government to be built from the ashes of the United States unless nightmarish agenda for new world order is defeated

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, July 14, 2010

There can be little doubt that America, along with the west as a whole, is being set up for a total collapse in which life as we know it will be fundamentally altered and rebuilt around a collectivist model managed and controlled by the same criminals who engineered the crisis in the first place.
