Eastern Europe Is About to Blow
By Mike Whitney
The global economy is decelerating at the fastest
pace on record. 40 percent of global wealth has
been wiped out. The banking system is insolvent,
unemployment is soaring, tax revenues are falling,
the markets are in shock, housing is crashing,
deficits are soaring, and consumer confidence is
at its lowest point in history.

Jailing Kids for Cash: "As many as 5,000 children in
Pennsylvania have been found guilty, and up to 2,000 of
them jailed, by two corrupt judges who received kickbacks
from the builders and owners of private prison facilities
that benefited. The two judges pleaded guilty in a stunning
case of greed and corruption that is still unfolding.
Judges Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan
received $2.6 million in kickbacks while imprisoning
children who often had no access to a lawyer. The case
offers an extraordinary glimpse into the shameful private
prison industry that is flourishing in the United States."

Finance Capitalism Hits a Wall
The Oligarchs' Escape Plan - at the Treasury's Expense
By Prof. Michael Hudson
The financial "wealth creation" game is over. Economies
emerged from World War II relatively free of debt, but
the 60-year global run-up has run its course. Finance
capitalism is in a state of collapse, and marginal palliatives
cannot revive it. The U.S. economy cannot "inflate its
way out of debt," because this would collapse the dollar
and end its dreams of global empire by forcing foreign
countries to go their own way.








Strange Math
By Ignacio Merino
Right now President Obama is a new broom and the country thinks he is resolving a problem left to him by a Republican administration. He is about to sign in a stimulus package that will fail to stimulate the economy. Then in three months he'll be back at the trough looking for more money. Six months will pass, things will get worse, and it will be viewed as his problem to clean up. By the end of 2009, assuming he follows the path laid out with the stimulus bill, he will be viewed by the American public as inept and the "wrong man for the job". Things will be a lot worse than they are now.

The People Be Damned
The President of Special Interests
By Paul Craig Roberts
The Bush/Obama bailout/stimulus plans are not
going to work. Both are schemes hatched by a
clique of financial insiders. The schemes will
redistribute income and wealth from American
taxpayers to the shyster banksters, who have
destroyed American jobs, ruined the retirement
plans of tens of millions of Americans, and worsened
the situation of millions of people worldwide who
naively trusted American financial institutions.

Zionist Logic
Malcolm X on Zionism
By Malcolm X (Omowale Malcolm X Shabazz)
The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim
their ancient Jewish prophets predicted that in the "last
days of this world" their own God would raise them up a
"messiah" who would lead them to their promised land,
and they would set up their own "divine" government in
this newly-gained land, this "divine" government would
enable them to "rule all other nations with a rod of iron."
