“Black Tuesday”; Après le deluge
By Mike Whitney
Last week the stock market bull plopped down on an
I.E.D. and wound up in intensive-care sucking food
from a straw and drifting in and out of consciousness.
That put Paulson on the road to South Korea, Japan
and China where he’ll meet up with his foreign
counterparts to strategize on the deteriorating state
of world markets. It’s a daunting task. Continue

In Debt We Trust - America Before the Bubble Bursts
A Documentary Film By Danny Schechter,
The Emmy-winning former ABC News and CNN producer's
new hard-hitting documentary investigates why so many
Americans are being strangled by debt. It is a journalistic
confrontation with what former Reagan advisor Kevin Phillips
calls "Financialization"--the "powerful emergence of a
debt-and-credit industrial complex." Continue

Juicing the Stock Market
The secret maneuverings of the Plunge Protection Team
By Mike Whitney
If a secret team is interfering in the stock market, it
presents serious practical and moral issues. For one
thing, it disrupts natural “corrections” which are a
normal part of the business cycle and which help to
maintain a healthy and competitive slate of equities.

In the World’s Eyes the US has become Amerika
By Paul Craig Roberts
US casualties (dead and wounded) have now reached
27,000 in a war that was supposed to be a “cakewalk”
over in a few weeks. If what four-star general Wesley
Clark, former supreme commander of NATO, told Amy
Goodman in a March 2 interview is correct, US casualties
are yet in their early days. Continue

Seven Countries In Five Years
An interview with General Wesley Clark
“This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take
out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and
then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing
off, Iran.” I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.

Morons and Magic: A Reply to George Monbiot
By David Ray Griffin
In “Bayoneting a Scarecrow The 9/11 conspiracy theories
are a coward’s cult.” (Guardian, February 20), George Monbiot
accuses members of the 9/11 truth movement of being
“morons” and “idiots” who believe in “magic.” Having in
his previous attack---“A 9/11 conspiracy virus is sweeping
the world,” Guardian, February 6---called me this movement’s
“high priest,” he now describes my 9/11 writing as a
“concatenation of ill-attested nonsense.” Continue

Evidence Mounting for Armchair Revolution:
Ambivalent Couch Potatoes Mobilizing
By J.D. Suss
Five giant corporate entities own most of media now and
there is essentially no free press interested in doing
investigative journalism anymore – but if it does, it’s
smeared as that “leftist” or “liberal” press. The truth
of current events can often be found on the web. But
even when we know the (questionably vetted) truth,
does that really change anything, I mean, in the long
run? Continue

The Great Moral Issues of Our Time

You liberals, though – you’re hopeless. You keep thinking
that hundreds of thousands of deaths from war and genocide
are more important than dudes marrying other dudes.
You keep thinking that preserving democracy is more
important than preventing premarital sex. You keep
thinking that saving the planet is more crucial than
discouraging masturbation. Continue

Global Realignment and the Decline of the Superpower
By Mike Whitney
The truth is there’s a straight line from the founding of
this country to the killing fields of Baghdad. That line
may be interrupted by periods of enlightenment and
peace, but it is still an unbroken stripe from the Continental
Congress to Abu Ghraib, from Bunker Hill to Falluja,
from Valley Forge to Guantanamo Bay. It all grows
from the same root. Continue
