 The Crisis of Common Sense: Is It So Difficult To Understand The Financial Crisis? posted by Matthias Chang via rialator, 2009-01-01 19:21:44
[We all have a thinking, highly evolved BRAIN that loves nothing more than to do its job -- given half a chance it will serve YOU very well indeed.]
Thinking & Common Sense
God gave us a brain to think, to think naturally and in simple terms, not in convoluted ways.
When we think naturally and use common sense to address problems we are able to arrive at simple and effective solutions. However, our education system tortures us mentally and forces us to think in convoluted, unnecessarily complicated ways. Our teachers, economists, politicians and other so-called 'experts' make mountains out of mole-hills, turning simple truths into complex arguments and theories. (full story)

 Leaders LIE, civilians DIE, and lessons of history are IGNORED posted by Robert Fisk via reed, 2008-12-29 20:02:19
We've got so used to the carnage of the Middle East that we don't care any more – providing we don't offend the Israelis. It's not clear how many of the Gaza dead are civilians, but the response of the Bush administration, not to mention the pusillanimous reaction of Gordon Brown, reaffirm for Arabs what they have known for decades: however they struggle against their antagonists, the West will take Israel's side. As usual, the bloodbath was the fault of the Arabs – who, as we all know, only understand force. (full story)

  Unconventional Warfare in the 21st Century posted by Tom Burghardt via quin, 2008-12-19 20:47:56
On December 13, the whistleblowing website Wikileaks did investigative and citizen journalists a great service by publishing the Army Special Operations Forces FM 3-05.130, titled Unconventional Warfare. [Available below.]
Published in September 2008, the 248-page document though unclassified, is restricted "to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors only to protect technical or operational information from automatic dissemination under the International Exchange Program or by other means." The Department of the Army urges recipients to "destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document." Wikileaks has guaranteed that the disappearance of this critical primary source into the bowels of the Pentagon will not occur. (full story)

Obama and Washington Mythmaking posted by Robert Parry via reed, 2008-12-19 20:31:42
Over the years, Washington has evolved into a city of deceptions where semantics cloud reality and where a hazy mix of lies, half-truths and mythology can combine to unleash the devastating military might of the United States for no good reason. Indeed, if there were to be a serious effort to "change the mindset" that got the United States into the Iraq War - as Barack Obama has promised - one place to start would be to force Official Washington to take a long hard look in the mirror.

The $8.5 Trillion bet posted by Matthias Chang via rialator, 2008-12-13 19:50:58
A few weeks ago, I warned that the Dow would dive below 7,000 at the earliest by end of December 2008 and at the latest by the end of the first quarter 2009. Any responsible central banker would want to control a downturn, preferably by a gradual slide of the market as opposed to a sharp hard landing. However, events clearly indicate the current breed of financial handlers are irresponsible gamblers not prudent financial managers. (full story)

Undeterred by massive budget deficits from wars, a falling economy, and financial bailouts, the US government has managed to start a new cold war with Russia.
