Couldn’t help but re-post this great comment by a former Wall Street insider on a recent interview with Naomi Klein by OnPoint Radio. Sometimes, only an honest insider can say it best. I was a senior, high profile stock/company analyst in a major global (and still extant) Wall Street firm and witnessed firsthand the greed-driven, [...]

Why the public remains Obama’s biggest enemy
Posted in Blog, USA on August 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Noam Chomsky’s latest article “Why WikiLeaks Won’t Stop the War” highlights perhaps the most important part of the WikiLeaks disclosures (largely overlooked by the mainstream media for obvious reasons). They are internal CIA memos that express huge concern that popular opposition in France and Germany to Obama’s war may make it increasingly difficult for the [...]
Liberals rejoice at health care injustice
Posted in Blog, USA, tagged health care, Healthcare, Obama, politcis, public option, USA on March 22, 2010 | 12 Comments »
Good liberals across America are supposed to be dancing in the street today because President Obama has managed to pass a watered down bill that doesn’t deliver the public health-care system that the majority of the American public have wanted for so long. That is what’s called a “victory” in liberal America today. Of course [...]
Howard Zinn 1922-2010
Posted in Blog, USA, tagged History, Howard Zinn, Politics, Zinn on January 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Considering the subject of the last post I wrote, today seems an appropriate if rather sad occasion to start blogging again. I’m very sad to learn that Howard Zinn has died of a heart attack at the age of 87. I was only listening to a talk by him a few days ago and his [...]
An Orwellian end to the decade
Posted in Blog, USA, tagged Nobel, Nobel Peace Prize, Obama on December 11, 2009 | 5 Comments »
It seems wholly appropriate that a decade that has been punctuated by death and destruction, from the nightmare events of 9-11 to the illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, should end with a man winning the world’s most prestigious peace prize for waging war. In a world of Orwellian political discourse such as The “War [...]
Ron Paul, Alex Jones and the politics of selfishness
Posted in Blog, USA, tagged 9-11, Alex Jones, Larry King, Libertarianism, Liberty, Michael Moore, New World Order, Obama, Ron Paul, USA on November 2, 2009 | 21 Comments »
Two of the more outspoken critics of the American government and corporate America are Texan Alex Jones and fellow Texan, Republican Congressman Ron Paul that he frequently endorses. Both have gathered quite a small but dedicated following on the internet for their anti-establishment stances. The reasons are understandable. Jones is a bombastic Texan who offers [...]
A financial coup d’état
Posted in Blog, Economics, USA, tagged Bill Moyers, Crisis, Economy, Marcy Kaptur, Politics, Simon Johnson on October 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
That’s not the opinion of some left-wing loony. It’s the opinion of Democratic congresswoman Marcy Kaptur who says Wall Street has effectively taken over the US Congress and Federal Reserve. An excellent interview here on Bill Moyers with her and former IMF Economic Chief Simon Johnson (hardly Marxists either of them). BILL MOYERS: So, Simon, [...]
Campaign funding dictates policy
Posted in Blog, Economics, USA, tagged Chomsky, election funding, noam chomsky, Obama, Politics on October 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When Obama came to power, a lot of people said campaign funding wouldn’t dictate his policies since he received a huge number of internet driven public donations. Noam Chomsky explains why this is not the case here in a recent speech at the University of California.
Why can’t Michelle Obama be more like this?
