Partnerships and sponsorships1 color WebMD’s recommendations across the board, and “passive” promotion techniques, where advertisements are designed to look more like editorials, have become commonplace.

“Peddling fiction” …this is what Mr. Obama said of anyone who believes and says the U.S. has a weak economy.

How do we know derivatives are blowing up? Simply because the Dallas Fed has given their banks permission not to mark energy debt to market. In essence, the Fed has instructed their banks TO PEDDLE FICTION! Continue reading “Impending Financial Collapse? Declining Real Economy”
