Abby Martin talks to Dr. John Trumpbour, research director at Harvard Law School’s labor and work life program, about the theory of the clash of civilizations, the idea that a culture or war is inevitable and inherent in the relationship between the East and West; Hollywood’s homogenization of US culture and Harvard’s perpetuation of the ruling class.

Hoarding Alternative Money & Reforming Banks Argentina is going through the classic stages of economic collapse. The government seized all pensions. They are destroying everything that gives the people incentive to be a society that emerges from the cooperation of everyone. When government turns against its own people, even as the USA is currently doing, you end up with deflation insofar as the economy collapses and wages are not available, while hoarding [...] Musings After Midnight–I’ll see you in the war: Civil War II–Notes on the coming calamity to restore the Constitution It is my firm belief that civil war is now inevitable and imminent in America. As with the two world wars of the early 20th century, this will be “Civil War [...] Spain’s police state has spiraled out of control as riot police are now running throughout the streets beating everyone in sight, men and woman, young and old. When the people demand democracy from an oligarchy that rules their subjects trough the strong-arm of a totalitarian police state the streets fill with the madness and mayhem seen in this video. Since September 25th the masses of Spain, no longer being able to feed [...] Anthony Gucciardi Promises of ‘immortality’ and a disease-free life have led many individuals to long for the hope of artificial intelligence and what is known as Singularity. It is essentially a merging of man and machine, the development of a ‘new species’ — a ‘borg’ of sorts. The subject recently made headlines when a major Russian scientist promised Singularity to the wealthy elite and ruling class by 2045 through [...] Infowars.com As America’s engineered economic implosion accelerates, the parallels with how the Roman empire fell are staggering. It is now abundantly clear that the ruling class is preparing for a planned economic implosion after which they will declare themselves the saviors. Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones As America’s engineered economic implosion accelerates, the parallels with how the Roman empire fell are staggering. It is now abundantly clear that the ruling class is preparing for a planned economic implosion after which they will declare themselves the saviors. A recent Reuters report highlighting how the Federal Reserve has been telling major banks in the U.S. to prepare for a “worst [...] The protests that have broken out in Sudan are, on the surface, the manifestation of legitimate grievances. Portrayed in the Western media as a direct response to austerity measures implemented by Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, these protests indicate a strong current of dissatisfaction among the people of the country. However, seen from a broader, more critical perspective, the demonstrations are the tangible fruits of a carefully constructed destabilization campaign incorporating [...] President Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango has recently published a memoir of her time in America. The book is titled Tears of Abuse. It alleges that her time in this country has been nothing but torment. Residing in the United States illegally from 2002 until she was granted asylum by the Obama Administration in 2010, Zeituni’s book complains of the “shabby accommodations” and “meager sustenance” she was forced to suffer through while [...] From Miller’s Genuine Draft: Austrian economist F.A. Hayek’s most famous work, The Road to Serfdom, is renowned for identifying two general rules in regards to politics and the state. As the title of the book suggests, Hayek was keenly aware of the massive centralization of power taking place during the World War II era as Keynesianism took off and planned economies seemed like the next, natural step in the art of governing. He [...] BY RICK ACKERMAN ON APRIL 18, 2012 1:48 AM GMT [We have argued here before that it is lies, systematic fraud and blatant duplicity by the central banks that have kept the global economy afloat in recent years. In the essay below, a regular in theRick’s Picks forum who goes by the handle ‘Buster’ provides as succinct and elegant an explanation of this as we have seen. His thoughts were originally published in the forum, [...] From Jim Quinn’s The Burning Platform: “Human history seems logical in afterthought but a mystery in forethought. Writers of history have a way of describing interwar societies as coursing from postwar to prewar as though people alive at the time knew when that transition occurred.” – Strauss & Howe - The Fourth Turning Watching pompous politicians, egotistical economists, arrogant investment geniuses, clueless media pundits, and self-proclaimed experts on the Great Depression predict an economic [...] Well known to anyone watching, current affairs have not been of peace, as promised, but rather have embodied the same perpetual warfare that has defined America and Americans internationally. The explosion of fiat currency is nearly always accompanied by the onset of war—and the U.S. dollar standard is and will be no different. In Obamas defense comes an unlikely voice, Jeffrey Tucker, editor and publisher of Laissez-Faire Books: “Nor is it the case that [...] Saman Mohammadi Homeland Fascism, November 25, 2002 – “The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose. Foolish people ask you, when you have spoken what they do not wish to hear, ‘How do you know it is truth, and not an error of your own?’ We know truth when we see it, from opinion, [...] CHRIS FLOYD Now what’s that little baby doing Many people have commented on the Congressional vote to codify the authoritarian powers asserted by George W. Bush and Barack Obama, i.e., the arbitrary, unchallengeable power to declare anyone on earth — including American citizens — an “enemy of the state” and incarcerate them, indefinitely, outside of due process, in military [...] ‘Amerika’s Decaying Facade of Democracy’ | Corrente Land of the free. It sounds nice, doesn’t it? Just don’t try to exercise said freedom. That can come with serious helpings of intimidation and punishment. Pepper spraying, clubbing, incarceration. Actually, thanks to our United States Senate this week — with a stunning bipartisan vote of 93 to 7 — you now can get efficiently and LEGALLY “disappeared” for exercising your HERETOFORE constitutional freedoms. Free speech. Assembly, [...] If Washington’s plans succeed, Libya will become another American puppet state. Most of the cities, towns, and infrastructure have been destroyed by air strikes by the air forces of the US and Washington’s NATO puppets. US and European firms will now get juicy contracts, financed by US taxpayers, to rebuild Libya. The new real estate will be carefully allocated to lubricate a new ruling class picked by Washington. This will [...] by ZH While overnight markets are rocking based on continued speculation coming from some completely uncorroborated and unconfirmed source that Europe has just boldly gone where even Goldman’s Abacus has not dared to go before courtesy of the ECB’s acceptance of a CDO squared “Enron Special” SPV, Germany has once again made it very clear that not only will there not be any expansion in the [...] That’s exactly right. What is transpiring in The Banana Republic of America (the Third World hellhole that used to be the United States) is not “capitalism” or “free enterprise” any more than it is “socialism.” It is corporatism. It is, as Gerald Celente has often pointed out, fascism, which Benito Mussolini, a.k.a. Il Duce, defined as the merger of state and corporate power. “People rail [...] BEGIN TRANSCRIPT by Charles Hugh Smith from Of Two Minds Greece Is A Kleptocracy Strip away the bailouts and the bogus austerity plans, and the truth is revealed: Greece is a kleptocracy, and the banks and the ECB Eurocrats are both complicit. Despite a veritable flood of financial and political analysis about Greece, nobody seems to have noticed the obvious: Greece is a kleptocracy. Just as a refresher, here [...] (Interviewed by Louis James, Editor, International Speculator) L: Doug, a couple weeks ago we talked about mass riots spreading beyond the Middle East, and you were right. Yemen, Bahrain, and Libya – hundreds reported dead in Tripoli. But I see on Google News that some very brave individuals have organized protests in Moscow and Beijing. And now we have tens of thousands protesting in Madison, Wisconsin, citing [...] The Plan: Go to your local bank, near bank, shadow bank, or credit union on Tuesday, Dec 7th, 2010 and simply withdraw and remove all of your funds in cash or certified money drafts also work well (payable to yourself)…. and vote for some real change upstairs. Even if it costs you an overpriced $18 service fee – it will feel so [...] by Invisible Hand I was a technical person, then a medical scientist in the military. To progress up the ranks you needed to organize golf tournaments, not perfrom your duties well. I chose to focus on clinical competence and opted to retire ASAP to get out of the stupidity. However, by doing so, I let the idiots who knew nothing (except how to organize golf tournaments [...] The one thing that sums up the ruling class panic best was the spoof front page of the Economist from September 2008, after the Lehman Brothers bank collapse. The Economist had a two-word front page: “Oh F#$%” This was the largest corporate bankruptcy in world history. You thought Enron was big when it went under, owing about $60 billion. Lehman Brothers went under owing about $635 billion to its creditors [...] Yeah, the Federal Reserve isn’t even a part of the US government, it’s a private entity with total control over our monetary policy and has never been audited. No corruption to see here… Move along folks!!! Tell me? Why can banks borrow at 0% to .25% and then lend the money back to the US government at 3% to 5% interest while the taxpayer gets the bill for the interest? [...] Their timing was atrocious but, their predictions were on target. We are now finally seeing people like Bernanke Ex-Comptroller General Walker, the Government Accounting Office, the CBO, and hundreds of authors that are willing to say what they probably have believed for years if not longer. Because the politicians and media weren’t willing to do the work to see those “doom and gloomers” were correct, and instead labeled them as kooks, [...] |
