Latin America’s Twenty-First Century Socialism in Historical Perspective / Politics / Emerging Markets
By: James_Petras
The electoral victory of center left regimes in at least three Latin American countries, and the search for a new ideological identity to justify their rule, led ideologues and the incumbent presidents to embrace the notion that they represent a new 21st century version of socialism (21cs). Prominent writers, academics and regime spokespeople celebrated a totally new variant of socialism, as completely at odds with what they dubbed as the failed 20th century, Soviet-style socialism. The advocates and publicists of 21cs claims of a novel political-economic model rested on what they ascribed as a radical break with both the free market neo-liberal regimes which preceded, and the past “statist” version of socialism embodied by the former Soviet Union as well as China and Cuba.

By: Stephen_Merrill
1. In 1942 Congress made health care insurance for company employees non taxable unlike wages.

We are treated to contributions from the likes of Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Mike Shedlock, Mike Stathis, Jim Willie and John Mauldin (to name a few).

Peter Quinn’s lyrical musings on the tragic fate of the American society is always entertaining (notwithstanding my personal disagreement with some of Peter’s negativity).

Destroying the U.S. Economy / Politics / US Politics
By: Submissions
Bob Ford writes: When the rewards for legitimate investments are zero and the penalties for bad investments are zero, a life style has been created in a dimension completely removed from that of the ordinary citizen. Wall Street operates in a zero regulation environment. There is no upper limit or lower limit on anything. It is perfectly acceptable to destroy an entire country, not just its economy. Fraud and deception quickly reduce the money of depositors and investors to zero, and place it in the hands of bankers and top level corporate management.

American's Gambling $100 Billion in Casino's Like Rats in a Cage / Politics / Social Issues
By: James_Quinn
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do I get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though I know-I suppose I'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job

Peter Schiff Call to Action to Win U.S. Senate Seat / Politics / US Politics
By: Peter_Schiff
Dear Friends,
Through my weekly commentaries, I have always tried to share my honest insight into the behavior of markets and recommend strategies to help people preserve their wealth. As investors, many readers have benefited from my advice; but as Americans, they are frustrated that they have to look abroad for decent returns because Washington continues making a mess of things at home. I am too.

In Defense of Capitalism: a True Love Story / Politics / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Vitaliy_Katsenelson
My writing is a byproduct of my investment process, I think through writing. I don’t do movie reviews and don’t watch Michael Moore’s movies. A Denver Post reporter invited me to a private showing of Moore’s latest flick last Monday Capitalism: a Love Story, it stirred up a lot of memories and I recently finished reading Atlas Shrugged which had a great impact on me. A combination of all those things motivated me to write this.

Barrack Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize for Being First Black President / Politics / US Politics
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Nobel committee awarded the peace prize for - "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".
The normal expectation is for someone to be awarded the prestigious Nobel peace prize AFTER they have contributed in a major way towards making peace, which I just do not see when looking back on Barrack Obama's first 10 months Presidency.

Technically Bankrupt Iceland Parliament Proposes Debt Default Solution / Politics / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Webster_G_Tarpley
Reykjavik , Iceland , Oct. 7 – A leading member of the Icelandic parliament called Monday night for the country to declare a debt moratorium and stop attempting to pay the $6 billion which the British and Netherlands governments are seeking to extort from Iceland with the help of the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission in Brussels. This dramatic call was issued by Birgitta Jónsdóttir, the chairman of the parliamentary faction of The Movement in the Icelandic parliament, the Althing. Birgitta Jónsdóttir was speaking during a special session of the Althing called to address the rapidly deteriorating economic and financial position of Iceland, one year after the collapse of the three hot-money offshore banks, Landsbanki, Kaupthing, and Glitnir.

United States On the Fast Track to Socialism / Politics / Economic Stimulus
By: LewRockwell
The economic meltdown has put the country on the fast track to socialism, but through a series of tiny steps. One need only to examine the supposed victories in the war on depression to see how this is happening. The latest is the claim that the Obama administration has successfully renegotiated many mortgage obligations in a way that allows people to keep their homes.

Doug: Global warming. People like my fanatical neighbors here in Aspen seem perfectly willing to undo centuries of progress because they are completely delusional about global warming. The People’s Republic of Aspen is an epicenter of political correctness.

Let’s Take Back Columbus Day / Politics / US Politics
By: Ayn_Rand
More than a century ago, America celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s voyage of discovery by hosting an enormous world’s fair on the shores of Lake Michigan. This “World’s Columbian Exposition” featured statues of the great explorer, replicas of his three ships, and commemorative stamps and coins. Because Columbus Day was a patriotic holiday--it marked the opening chapter in American history--the newly written Pledge of Allegiance was first recited in schools on October 12, 1892.

Bankster's Bait and Switch Fractional Reserve Banking System / Politics / Global Financial System
By: Gary_North
The phrase "bait and switch" refers to a sales practice of advertising a desirable item at a low price to get potential buyers into a showroom. Then the salesman tells the shopper that the firm has run out of the sought-after item. The salesman then uses his sales skills to sell the shopper a more expensive item.
This practice is illegal. It is a form of fraud. It steals time from the shoppers.
