February 5, 2009 – Those of us born in an earlier era recall the Cold War that lasted from shortly after the end of World War II until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. It was the era of Mutually Assured Destruction with massed nuclear missiles pointed at one another. It was an era when Americans were rightfully concerned about Soviet espionage inside the U.S. and Soviet expansionist ambitions throughout the world.
February 5, 2009 – Commenting on the latest Israeli one-directional onslaught against the Palestinians of Gaza Strip, the Israeli 10th TV channel has disclosed that the Israeli genocidal forces had used half of its air force and had launched at least 2500 air raids against Gaza Strip.
February 2, 2009 - Consumers usually build savings in booms, then raid their troves during busts – but not this time.
Ever since Joseph decoded Pharaoh’s dream about fat cows and thin ones and delivered his policy response – save in the fat years to survive in the lean times – consumers have followed that model.
February 1, 2009 – Ah … Super Bowl Sunday – America’s most sacrilegious holiday has finally arrived.
As our dumbed down society clusters around their TV sets like sheep to escape the realities of the up coming man made depression, arrogant sponsors have spent over $204 million dollars on commercials to pimp their products on the unemployed masses, spending their last few bucks on enjoying the game.
February 1, 2009 – During these past eight years or so, I have watched the unraveling of our once great Republic – signified by the words of our former President, George W. Bush, who is reported to have referenced the Constitution as, “just a goddamned piece of paper.”
Well Mr. Bush, maybe it now is damned. It is because of the weakness of your leadership and policies, which has brought us the likes of ‘the One’ and the caliber of people, who have come to Washington with him – in addition to those who so numbly believe that this modern-day ‘Moses’ can deliver us from the bondage, which this nation has been has so blindly been sucked in to. This “unraveling” has been coming at us in the form of a runaway train – and I see not the light at the end of the tunnel.
February 1, 2009 – Some years ago when I worked at the libertarian Cato Institute, we used to label any new hire who had not yet read Atlas Shrugged a “virgin.” Being conversant in Ayn Rand’s classic novel about the economic carnage caused by big government run amok was practically a job requirement. If only “Atlas” were required reading for every member of Congress and political appointee in the Obama administration. I’m confident that we’d get out of the current financial mess a lot faster.
February 1, 2009 – Do you see the flag in the image? It is an emotionally charged symbol of a unique land where freedom reigns and a freedom that came at great sacrifice. It is also a symbol of prosperity, creativity, ingenuity, industriousness, productivity and military might, but most of all, unequaled generosity. The symbol grew into a beacon of hope for the entire world because of what those brave people under it have accomplished and what those people have given back to the world, under this grand flag of liberty.
February 1, 2009 – In my last column, I attempted to wake up my fellow Americans, who are either currently slumbering through the collapse of our constitutional republic or in a protracted state of denial regarding a very real–and very dangerous–burgeoning New World Order. The information that I need to disseminate on this matter is so plentiful that it is extremely difficult to condense into one column. Therefore, I must at least attempt to provide a little more information on this subject. I will use this column to do just that.
February 1, 2009 – In 1939, ten years after the crash on Wall Street, the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told the House Ways and Means Committee:
“We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong…somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises…I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started…And an enormous debt to boot!”
Does history repeat itself? Yes, it does.
