NEW YORK (AP) — Five years after U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed, triggering a global financial crisis and shattering confidence worldwide, families in major countries around the world are still hunkered down, too spooked and distrustful to take chances with their money.

An Associated Press analysis of households in the 10 biggest economies shows that families continue to spend cautiously and have pulled hundreds of billions of dollars out of stocks, cut borrowing for the first time in decades and poured money into savings and bonds that offer puny interest payments, often too low to keep up with inflation.   Continue reading “AP IMPACT: Families hoard cash 5 yrs after crisis”

Internet users are sending tiny donations with critical messages to what they believe is the FBI’s Bitcoin wallet. The wallet, which is worth US$3.3 million, is thought to contain digital funds seized from users of the online black market Silk Road.

Following the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht (alias “Dread Pirate Roberts”) and the shutdown of underground online marketplace Silk Road, which Ulbricht is suspected to have run, Reddit users discovered what they say is an FBI-linked public wallet containing more than 27,000 BTC (one Bitcoin is equal to $122 at the time of writing).    Continue reading “Protest by payment: Users ‘locate’ FBI Silk Road wallet, send mocking Bitcoin donations”

Defendants and witnesses in British courts will no longer swear on the Bible to tell the truth under controversial plans being considered by a powerful body of judges.

The traditional religious oath could be scrapped amid concerns that many giving evidence in criminal cases no longer take it seriously.   Continue reading “UK: Judges bid to banish the Bible from court over fears witnesses and defendants no longer take the oath seriously”

May your noses always be cold and wet.

The surface confusions of the moment are spectacular. The unconnected events, all of them crazy and devoid of common sense, are seven steps past strange. Some things seem to be purely malice driven, without any rhyme or reason whatsoever. This evicting of people on private lands located next to Federal lands is going on across the nation. It’s the next step up from the robot mortgage assault on the private homeowner. The other day, zombie killers from the government murdered an unarmed woman and no collection of absurd evidence concerning the event matches up with any other evidence.

B’Man’s Revolt

This is only a beginning. I know how tough it is to disbelieve this lie which has been brainwashed into our heads. But when I finally looked at the evidence (explained here pretty well), I realized that the only thing that supports the lie is “witness accounts” (forensics and physical evidence do not). And as time goes by, many of those accounts have been proved to be myths, distortions, vain imaginations, camp hoaxes, or outright lies , some lies by friends and associates of presidents and leaders of the world.

Couple that with the fact that every Jew I have  ever had any contact with has shown themselves to be liars, thieves and supremacist assholes, then I have no reason to believe that witness accounts of Jews are trustworthy. Further, if you look into confession accounts, you realize that these were elicited by torture and testicle crushing techniques and hardly trustworthy.     Continue reading “A Few Reasons I Came To Disbelieve The Holocaust Storyline”

Syrian President Bashar Assad during an interview with an Italian TV-channelRIA Novosti

MOSCOW, October 6 (RIA Novosti) – In an interview with a German magazine, Syrian President Bashar Assad has accused the West of lies about the use of chemical weapons in Syria and said Russia understands the reality of the conflict in his country “much better,” than the United States.

“We did not use chemical weapons,” Assad said in an advance version of an interview with Der Spiegel to be published on Monday. “This is a misstatement. So is the picture you paint of me as a man who kills his own people.”   Continue reading “Assad Says ‘West Is More Confident in Al-Qaida than Me’”

“The wicked flee where none gives pursuit,” the Book of Proverbs instructs us. In similar fashion, an imperial elite that cultivates hostility on a global scale lives under the perpetual and well-deserved expectation of retaliation – which is why it perceives everybody as a potential threat. This is why a confused young mother who makes a traffic error in Washington, D.C. faces summary execution – and the killers will be lauded for their supposed “heroism.”   Continue reading ““Escalation of Force”: We’re All Iraqis Now”

Americans are being treated to political theater at its finest. It’s not a theater of entertainment, however, but a coliseum of enslavement where in the world of deception, perception becomes reality. This theater requires audience participation, where we, the theater-goers, become part of the play. We are a truly captive audience, entranced into mindlessly choosing sides at the frenzied urging of the corporate media and partisan cheerleaders firmly seated behind the microphones and television cameras of the nationally syndicated media.   Continue reading “Forget the government shutdown – it’s about shutting YOU down”

Remember when the media rushed to talk about transparency in the Barack Obama “Hope and Change” era? Good times, good times.  Leonard Downie, who once worked as the executive editor of the Washington Post and wrote a novel about Washington corruption and the Iraq War, finds a bigger and non-fictional problem in the successor to George W. Bush.  Downie gives the Post a preview of his report from the Committee to Protect Journalists which outlines the Obama war on reporters and their sources:   Continue reading “NYT reporter: Obama admin “most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered””

KABUL, Afghanistan – Armed with cash, just about anyone can buy guns, body bags, fake ID cards and genuine American and Afghan military uniforms in Kabul’s markets – all for “a very good price,” according to the sellers.

The legendary Bush Market, named after the 43rd U.S. president, is the largest and best-known of the black market centers in Kabul. A maze of some 500 makeshift stalls, the bazaar offers the usual food and clothing staples.   Continue reading “In Afghanistan, insider attacks begin with a trip to the market”
