Planned Parenthood firebombed,
right wing silent
SATURDAY, JUL 30, 2011 10:01 ET

Salon - War Room
"Someone firebombed a Planned Parenthood clinic in McKinney, Texas, late Tuesday night. Because it was so late, no one was hurt. The clinic doesn't provide abortions, but there had been protesters there earlier that day anyway. You might've read about the news on Twitter or on a liberal blog. Probably not in a newspaper or on a cable new channel. Definitely not at any right-wing blogs. Which is a bit odd, actually, considering how much attention terrorist attacks generally get in this country...
Oh, sorry, how much attention possible Islamic terrorist attacks get..."
Yeah, except for I was reading this article this morning -

And let's face it folks, extremism is ignored or allowed if it is sponsored or condoned by the wealthy and powerful on this planet. Christ Almighty, Saudi Arabia is a scary place:

Tomgram: Andrew Bacevich, Playing Ball With the Pentagon
"Posted by Andrew Bacevich at 8:45am, July 28, 2011.
Post-9/11, doesn’t it seem as though all American experience is blending into a single experience whose label is “your safety”? Which means, in practical terms, you get poked, prodded, searched, and surveilled wherever you go.
The other day, I went to the ballpark to see my team, the Mets, play the Florida Marlins. It’s always a shock these days to make your way into the team’s new stadium, Citi Field (named, charmingly enough, after one of the financial institutions that took us down in 2008 and somehow came up smelling like roses). No more is it just tickets at the turnstile. What’s involved now is that peek into your backpack or bag, followed by the full-scale search of you, body wand and all.
I always have the urge to shout: I’m here for a ballgame, not the Global War on Terror! Instead, of course, I just lift my arms and let myself be wanded. It’s like an eternal reminder that, for Americans, 9/11 did change everything -- and for the more intrusive at that. Once inside, past all the restaurants and clubs, memorabilia shops and sports-clothing stores that now add up to the baseball (basemall?) experience, it turns out you haven’t left America’s wars behind...."

15 Years in Prison For Taping the Cops? How Eavesdropping Laws Are Taking Away Our Best Defense Against Police Brutality
July 27, 2011 Rania Khalek -- AlterNet
So, I kind of got hooked on Dexter a couple of years ago when you could still stream the first two seasons on Netflix. Just recently I watched the 5th season, and as soon as I read the preceding paragraphs, the theme song started up in my head.
Sounds random? Nope, as soon as I got hooked on Dexter I wondered if Dexter would ever get to the real serial killers on this planet? Can you guess who entered my mind as I wondered that? I mean come on, it's obvious to me that the GWOT is the not the tip of the spear wielded by the banksters but it is the well muscled goon chucking the damn thing, and the goon is ordered fed by the banksters, but the taxpayers foot the bill.

Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy
3 discs, PBS (c) 2002.
So I'm willing to give the 2nd disc a gander, but the first had Milton Friedman, and a crapload of other free marketeers in it and I was disgusted that I couldn't review it on Netflix. It was a big, fat, sloppy wet kiss for unregulated capitalism.
OMG, I'm struggling through the segments that are online, hopefully that is all that is on the 3rd disc because I have become more and more incensed watching this piece of crap. Fortunately, a majority of the reviewers, and those who mark a review "helpful" on Netflix have a clue about this extremely biased special. I'm sure the international pirates who devalued the Mexican peso love this propagandistic piece of bankster poopoo.

Example of Tea Party morons in action.
This would not have ended peacefully if I had been there, nor would I have left. Why? Because I took a lot of bullying from stupid, conservative Republican, tea party fucktard types for years, and I don't take it anymore.
I'm not easily intimidated and I do NOT tolerate bullying.

Officially, the People’s Republic of China is in the midst of an epochal transition from an export-based to a consumer-based economy. The ultimate goal of which is not only to turn the average Chinese into a suburban motorist, but also to break the perverse dependency that ties that country’s growth to an American trade deficit Beijing must, in turn, finance in order to keep the Yuan from appreciating..."

| Book review: 'Midnight on the Mavi Marmara' |
"...Bayoumi introduces the anthology's subject by emphasising its international impact.
The attack on the Mavi Marmara, he explains, resulted in demonstrations in major European capitals, Turkey, Canada and many US cities. Bayoumi credits the attack for pushing Egypt to finally open its Rafah border crossing into Gaza.
Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Spain Greece, and Sweden summoned their Israeli ambassadors, Bayoumi continues, while Turkey, Ecuador and South Africa recalled theirs from Jerusalem. Some dockworkers in American and European cities refused to unload Israeli ships for a time in protest, a move he cites as evidence of the attack's widespread global unpopularity.... '

Role Reversal: Latin America Taunts US on Debt Woes
Worries about contagion; Brazil now a U.S. creditor
"...When did the American dream become a nightmare?" gloated Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez, whose own country defaulted on about $100 billion in debt a decade ago.
In a speech at the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange on Monday, she contended that Argentina had prospered since then by focusing on exports and controlling financial speculation -- a lesson that Washington has yet to learn, she said.
The Americans "thought that money just reproduces by itself, and only in the financial sector, without having to produce any goods or services," Fernandez said..."

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Mastering the Machine
How Ray Dalio built the world’s richest and strangest hedge fund.
by John Cassidy
JULY 25, 2011
"Ray Dalio, the sixty-one-year-old founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s biggest hedge fund, is tall and somewhat gaunt...
...Rather than confronting these issues, Dalio, like all successful predators, is concentrating on the business at hand—the markets and the global economic outlook. This spring, he told me that economic growth in the United States and Europe was set to slow again. This was partly because some emergency policy measures, such as the Obama Administration’s stimulus package, would soon come to an end; partly because of the chronic indebtedness that continues to weigh on these regions; and partly because China and other developing countries would be forced to take drastic policy actions to bring down inflation. Now that the slowdown appears to have arrived, Dalio thinks it will be prolonged. “We are still in a deleveraging period,” he said. “We will be in a deleveraging period for ten years or more.”
...Like many successful financiers, Dalio justifies capitalism and his place in it as a Darwinian process, in which the over-all logic of the system is sometimes hidden. This is actually what the mention, in his Principles, of hyenas savaging a wildebeest was about. “Is this good or bad?” he wrote. Like “death itself, this behavior is integral to the enormously complex and efficient system that has worked for as long as there has been life.” Of course, this view conveniently ignores the argument that hedge funds, through their herd behavior, have contributed to speculative bubbles, in tech stocks, oil, and other commodities. Even some defenders of the industry concede that the problem is real and potentially calamitous. “There is a basis for the argument that hedge funds add economic value,” Andrew Lo, an economist at M.I.T. who runs his own hedge fund, says. “At the same time, they create systemic risks that have to be weighed against those positives....”

In all the talk about the federal deficit, why is the single largest culprit left out of the conversation? Why is the one part of government that best epitomizes everything conservatives say they hate about government—- waste, incompetence, and corruption—all but exempt from conservative criticism?

Pg 306 Web of Debt by Ellen Brown
"Critics charge that warfare, terorism, and natural disaster on an unprecedented scale are are being used to justify massive federal borrowing, while diverting attention from the fact that the economy is drowning in a sea of governmental and consumer debt. And that may be true; but policymakers are only doing what they have to do under the current monetary scheme. In an upside-down world in which debt is money and money is debt, somebody has to go into debt just to keep money in the system so the economy won't collapse..."
