The Real Problem With the Twitter HackCrash

The only reason the stock market is where it is today is because of securities kiting via high speed trading algorithm. There is not a bright spot on earth in terms of real economic activity and yet the markets are soaring? The only word that explains it is "Fraud." Massive institutional fraud.

Ohio Measure Punishes Public Colleges For Helping Out-Of-State Students Vote

Best way to get all Americans voting ... and all Americans SHOULD BE voting ... would be to tie it to their tax rate. Across the board the tax rate for nonvoters is raised 10%. Property, Sales, Income ... name it. Anyone who tries to inhibit voting gets hit with a 15% tax increase for 20 years ... no jail time. The goal should be to ensure 100% participation in voting by Americans. It will remain optional, of course ... but to not vote, or to interfere with the vote will hit the citizen on their bottom line.

Pope Francis Condemns 'Slave Labor' In Bangladesh: 'Goes Against God'

Since we are in the era of globalism we need to have a Global Labor Party to counterbalance the abuses of Global Business around the world. As horrific events like that which occurred in Bangladesh are revealed, American Worker's response should be to boycott the American companies that stoop to using slave labor to aggregate their profits.



As soon as people start recognizing that Workers=Consumers, then you can see the potential force for good that a coordinated harnessing of this dormant people power would have to raise standards of living for people across the globe.

Ted Nugent: Military Suicides Are At Record Levels Because Obama 'Violates The Constitution'

Obama: Gitmo A 'No Man's Land,' Situation Is 'Going To Get Worse'

GITMO is another Bush War Crime. The Bush Administration needed props to scare the American people into going to war and giving up their civil rights and the goat herders that are starving themselves to death now are as much victims of Bush's GWOT as the other civilians that were caught in the crossfire.

Remote Control: Our Drone Delusion

Here is the cute little clause in EO12333 that opens Pandora's Box to any kind of murderous mischief and mayhem the CIA wants to engage in:



2.7 CONTRACTING



Agencies within the Intelligence Community are authorized to

enter into contracts or arrangements for the provision of goods or

services with private companies or institutions in the United

States and need not reveal the sponsorship of such contracts or

arrangements for authorized intelligence purposes. Contracts or

arrangements with academic institutions may be undertaken only with

the consent of appropriate officials of the institution.



http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo12333.htm



The CIA is prohibited from doing a great many things ... including assassinations ... but the Contracting Clause allows the CIA to hire private sector "services" to handle such activities that provides the Agency with plausible denability.



The Drone program is remarkably transparent under the circumstances.

Lamar Smith, GOP Push Politicization Of Scientific Research

What this indicates to me is that the special interests that back this restrictive approach to science recognize scientific research could eliminate their political and economic control, and render their industries obsolete. This admission on the special interest's part buoys my optimism for the future and demonstrates the need for the American People to up the ante on non-politicized scientific research so they and their descendents can enjoy the scientific benefits of tomorrow, as our predecessors gifted us.

Sandra Day O'Connor Doubts Decision To Take Bush v. Gore

The outcome of Bush v. Gore was a simple case of quid pro quo, for the five Supreme Court Justices that voted to appoint George W Bush President of the United States all owed their seats to the Reagan/Bush Administrations. The only outlier was Justice Souter, who actually approached the decision as a Jurist rather than a henchman.



Had Justice Thomas done the honorable thing, he would have recused himself from the decision on the basis he owed his seat on the high court, most directly, to George HW Bush, the appointed President's father.

Matt Taibbi: The Biggest Financial Scandal Yet

The problem is that Economics is an Art not a Science ... though it is portrayed as akin to Mathematics it has little in common. Economics is a product of the human imagination, and it lives in the realm of the speculative. 2+2=4 unless you live in the world of George Orwell or perform in the theatre of Economics where the plus sign may or may not mean "plus" depending on the ideological interpretation. That is why at the same time the educated and enlightened of the "Serious Class" laughed off the notion of a trillion dollar platinum coin, and, at the same time, the Financial Sector counterfeiting wealth through unregulated derivatives and credit default swaps to the tune of two quadrillion dollars globally is viewed as completely reasonable.



In short, it is all a big Con, and the closer the analysis of the "man behind the curtain" we are not supposed to pay attention to, the larger the Con becomes ... and, arguably, more frightening and consequential.
