Gulf Health Problems Blamed on Dispersed Oil

Dahr Jamail, Inter Press Service: "BP says it is no longer using toxic dispersants to break up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Gulf Coast residents claim otherwise, and say they have the sicknesses to prove it. On Aug. 5, Donny Mastler, a commercial fisherman who also works on boats, was at the Dauphin Island Marina."

Federal Reserve: Can you protect your endangered dollars?

Downsize DC
by Perry Willis

08/12/10

We think the Fed is moving in the wrong direction. It should be taking steps to protect the value of your dollars. Instead, it remains committed to policies that carry a high risk of future price inflation that could destroy the value of your savings. Please take action to protect yourself. One way to do that is to break the Fed’s monopoly control over what you can use for money by passing Ron Paul’s ‘Free Competition in Currency Act’...

Public frustrated at Congress, political parties

MSNBC

08/11/10

To borrow the famous line from the 1976 film ‘Network,’ Americans are mad as h... at Washington — and they’re not going to take it anymore. That, at least, is the conclusion from the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which finds: that less than half the country approves of President Obama’s job; that the percentage believing the current Congress is either below average or among the worst is at an all-time high …

The Fictions of Fictitious Capital

By Michael Hudson

How has planning become centralized in the hands of Wall Street and its global counterparts, not in the hands of government and industry as imagined almost universally a century ago? And why has Social Democratic, Labour and academic criticism become so silent in the face of this economic Counter-Enlightenment?

Is the US bankrupt?

QandO
by Bruce McQuain

08/12/10

Note the two words — ‘immediate’ and ‘permanent.’ In order to pay off the huge debt our ‘betters’ in Washington DC have run up over the years, strictly from the revenue side, our taxes would have to see an ‘immediate’ and ‘permanent’ doubling. Sounds like bankruptcy to me...
