It was Eisenhower who recognized the corrupting influence of power upon the growing military industrial complex. Had he broadened his scope just a bit further, he might have warned us about the looming threat of the Government Personnel Complex. In recent posts, we have formerly rational people claiming that: QE2 promotes employment by keeping the [...]

As much as I admire the work of Ellen Brown, I disagree with this latest, favorable view of QE2. As with any non-intuitive monetary policy, like Keynes “spend your way to prosperity” economics, there are 2 divided views falling into “common sense” and “nonsense” camps.

It is also time to declare economic sovereignty from the multi-national [...]

A few of us reason that he will, just as sure as he pumped liquidity into international banks to fund dollar denominated speculative positions in last year’s Round II of the “Master plan”. When we reviewed AIGs uncensored schedule A, it was revealed to be a huge European Bank bailout of UBS (Switzerland), RBS, Coral and George Quay [...]
