Despite Barack Obama’s apparent hesitancy to politicize last week’s Aurora massacre for election points scoring, his supporters have been far less reserved, urging the President to hijack such attacks in order to secure re-election.

As we reported yesterday, Time Magazine lamented the fact that Obama had not been forceful enough in seizing upon Friday’s [...]

BREAKING! EU unveils its vision for the future of monetary union, which gives them much greater powers.

European authorities have unveiled their vision for the future, which gives them much greater powers.

It includes the creation of a European treasury, which would have powers over national budgets.

European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said it was “a defining moment for European integration”.

Described as a 10-year plan, it is designed to strengthen the eurozone and prevent future crises, as countries grapple with current debt problems.

This week, some markets fell [...]

The Daily Bell reports: Austerity Staggers, Germany Blows Up?

Hollande’s ‘Growth Bloc’ spells end of German hegemony in Europe … For two years Germany has had its way in Europe, treating historic nations much as Bismarck treated Bavaria – sovereign only in name … The French-led counter-attack and rumblings of revolt through every branch of the EU institutions last week have brought this aberrant phase of the eurozone crisis to an abrupt end … “If I am elected president, there will be a change in [...]

‘The Merkozy era is over’

The French-led counter-attack and rumblings of revolt through every branch of the EU institutions last week have brought this aberrant phase of the eurozone crisis to an abrupt end.

“It’s not for Germany to decide for the rest of Europe,” said François Hollande, soon to be French leader, unless he trips horribly next week. Strong words even for the hustings.

“If I am elected president, there will be a change in Europe’s [...]

John Mauldin: The Truth Is It Doesn’t Matter Who’s President — We’d Be Screwed Regardless

2012 will be the 11th time in my short life that I will be able to participate in the choosing of a president of the United States.

 

While it may just be me, it seems like each and every election is cast as the most important election of our time and a defining moment for the American Experiment. The future of the Republic was being weighed in the balance, and only the [...]

IMF’s Lagarde urges action to avoid 1930s moment: “It is not about saving any one country or region. It is about saving the world from a downward economic spiral. It is about avoiding a 1930s moment, in which inaction, insularity and rigid ideology combine to cause a collapse in global demand.”

By Polya Lesova

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said in Berlin on Monday that the global economy could slide into a “1930s moment” unless Europe deals with its debt crisis and other economic powerhouses such as the U.S. and China fulfill their responsibilities. “What we must all understand is that this is a defining moment,” Lagarde said at the German Council on Foreign [...]

The US Is Fast Becoming a Third World Police State

As a P.T. (often referred to as perpetual traveller, permanent tourist or prior taxpayer), I have travelled to nearly 100 countries.  During those travels there has always been one defining moment, upon entry into a country, which shows that the country is what is generally thought of as a “third world country”.

It is the moment when, upon arrival, you are charged a fee to enter the country.  The reason generally [...]

JP Morgan Funded NYPD Mass Arrests Over 700 Peaceful Occupy Wall Street Protesters

The Intel Hub
October 2, 2011

The NYPD has arrested over 700 protesters who were occupying the Brooklyn Bridge in what could very well be a defining moment in the battle for freedom and liberty in America.

The police apparently corralled the protesters(depending on whose story you believe) onto the Brooklyn Bridge and then started their arrests of American citizens protesting the very banks that have destroyed this country from [...]

RON PAUL: NO COMPROMISE

By Cameron Joseph

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) will run television advertisements in Iowa and New Hampshire criticizing his party’s leaders for considering a compromise on raising the debt ceiling.

The stylized advertisement, which looks more like a movie trailer than the standard political ad, calls the debt-ceiling debate a “defining moment” for America.

“Will our party’s leaders repeat the mistakes of the past?” asks the ad’s narrator. [...]

The Global Economy Is A Massive Pyramid Scheme

by ZH

The first rule of media (especially when dealing with an idiot audience that has a 7 second attention span): when all else fails, redirect. That’s precisely what Eurogroup president, and certified, sanctimonious, pompous liar, Jean-Claude Juncker just did today, as it is becoming increasingly clear that nobody in Europe has any clue just what the Greek bailout #2 will look like now that the ECB and [...]

WINNING! John Boehner closes the deal to avoid government shutdown

They gathered in HC-5 all week talking — sometimes complaining loudly — about where the party was headed in the budget crisis. Many said House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) didn’t share enough information. Others were peeved he wasn’t pushing for deep enough cuts. Some were ready for a government shutdown.

And on Friday night, Boehner himself was unsure what would happen. Halfway through a closed-door meeting [...]
