John McCain's : ‘League of Democracies’ Is a Frightening Thought
By Robert Skidelsky
This is the thrust of McCain’s message. As he put it, the US
was built for a purpose — to serve “eternal and universal
principles.” Its God-given task is to build an “enduring global
peace on the foundations of freedom, security, prosperity
and hope.” Continue

around the world, and in spite of the economic and
financial blockade and the aggression of his powerful
country - is proof that much can be done with very little.

The Great Oil Swindle
How much did the Fed really know?
By Mike Whitney
The great oil crunch is another fabricated crisis;
another "smoke and mirrors" fiasco; another
Enron-type shell-game engineered by banksters
and hedge fund managers. Once again, the bloody

of the Federal Reserve. Continue

Are the policymakers to remain totally passive

stabilization plan is delayed, the higher the risk
of a severe economic downturn. Continue

Look around. The evidence of a withering economy is
