Will The U.S. Economy Recover This Time? Even though the U.S. financial system nearly melted down in late 2008, the truth is that most Americans simply have no idea what is happening to the U.S. economy. Most people seem to think that the nasty little recession the banksters got us into is almost over and that very shortly we will be experiencing another period of economic growth and prosperity, just like we always have before. This is rather far from the truth.

The CIA's Role in the Origin and Maintenance of America's Overclass Using subversive techniques once aimed at communists, and with all the money they could ever need to succeed, the Overclass (with CIA help) undemocratically controls our government, our media, and even a growing part of academia. These institutions in turn allow the Overclass to control the supposedly "free" market, all to the detriment of workers, consumers, women, minorities and the poor.

Why we must nationalize the Federal Reserve Banking is not a proper function of the government, but oversight is. The Treasury Department should not be outsourcing to the Fed its oversight responsibilities. The Fed, which failed miserably to oversee the banks, should be put under Treasury instead. It's time for the government to operate in the public interest, not in the interest of private banks. It's time to stop bailing out banks and begin building up America.

$26 Trillion of Bankster Fraud & Theft According to Ron Paul, Alan Grayson and Bernie Sanders Imagine that your family had $250,000 saved and thieves took it. But the legal system, more aligned with the thieves than with you, didn't care to help you. Actually that just happened. Everyone who was unemployed could have been given a job. A vast public works program could have created to stimulate the economy. This money would then have been an investment in the country & its people, instead of a one-time gift to banks.

Are Major Countries Preparing to Financially Dismantle the United States and its Empire? Seeing that US global hegemony cannot continue without spending power that they themselves supply, various governments are attempting to hasten the coming bankruptcy of the US financial-military world order. If China, Russia and their allies have their way, the US will no longer live off the savings of others (in the form of its own recycled dollars), nor wage imperialist warfare with that money either.

Grandest of All Ponzi Schemes? Foreign Central Banks Begin Buying US Stocks A small number of central banks have started investing part of their reserves in US equities. About 9% of the foreign-exchange reserves of Switzerland's central bank were invested in shares at the end of the third quarter, the Swiss bank said on its website. In addition, the Bank of Israel recently began a pilot program to invest a portion of its foreign currency reserves in US equities.

Here Comes Another Bubble, and a Crash That Will Dwarf the Last One, Unless . . . The bubblenomics game is back on. Two years of essentially zero interest rates, limitless guarantees, and a $2 trillion I.V. drip-feed from the Fed, has lifted Wall Street up off its back and put the greed-head speculators back in the center of things. It's a miracle: Who would have thought that Bernanke could engineer another bubble this fast after the disaster the last one led to? But he pulled it off!

Tracking Our Downward Spiral: the Ways in Which America Still 'Leads' the World America is bringing back debtors' prisons! Millions of us have been screwed over by predatory lenders and fine-print credit card contracts, and now, partly because of that, many of us are swimming in debt. Those who can't pay off their credit cards can now be thrown in jail in a third of the states in our nation. Since the start of 2010, over 5,000 arrest warrants have been issued against people who owe as little as $1000.

Global Economic Crisis and the Coming/Current Depression Obama's Director of National Intelligence has warned that the deepening world capitalist crisis poses a paramount threat to US national security, & that its continuation could trigger a return to the violent extremism of the 1920s and 30s. Clearly underlying his remarks are fears within our massive US intelligence apparatus, as well as among the more conscious layers of America's ruling elite, that this could lead revolution.

Double-Dip Recession Directly Ahead An economy that moves its high productivity, high value-added jobs offshore is going nowhere but down. Except for the super-rich, there has been no growth in people's incomes for a decade. To substitute for the missing income growth, consumers took on more debt. That growth in consumer debt kept the economy going. However, most consumers have now reached their maximum debt load, and millions went beyond their limit.

Will the Coming Economic War With China End the American Empire? China is mobilizing resources & gathering allies around the globe in preparation for this war. In league with a small group of rogue nations, they have one purpose: to crush the economic, political & military strength of the US by targeting America's Achilles heel: the petrodollar. Their plan is to (by that means and others) send the USdollar (today the world's reserve curreny) into the dustbin of history, at great cost to us.

Are Banksters & the Fed Becoming the Fourth Branch of Our Government? Despite its pathetic propaganda encouraging us to practice doublethink, the Federal Reserve freely admits that it is privately owned, is a monopoly empowered by Congress, and that it operates independently from -- above? -- Congress and the president. Yet it pays its private undisclosed shareholders/owners huge dividends . . that it extracts from U.S. taxpayers! Here's how it does this.

New Evidence that THC (in marijuana) Is Effective Against Cancer and Other Diseases A recent Harvard study shows that THC cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread. This is the first set of experiments to show that THC actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer. Tumors were reduced in size & weight by half in treated mice compared to a control group, with 60% fewer cancer lesions on the lungs of treated mice.

Why and How the US Economy is On the Edge of a Precipice Unbeknownst to most of our contemporaries, _Fortune_ is actually a _deity_, like Allah or Jesus. But unlike them she has been worshipped since ancient times -- as Tyche in Greece and as Fortuna in Rome. She continues to be worshipped today, around the world, but especially in the US, where her temples and shrines are everywhere, from the humble lottery machines at every corner shop, gas station and liquor store, to Wall St.

Where is This Economy Headed, Really? The "recovery" is a sham -- a temporary respite bought and paid for by Washington. Obama's appointed wizards from Wall Street will keep this sham recovery going until he is reelected next year. With enough Fed purchasing of Treasury bonds and toxic mortgages, and mortgage-backed securities from banks, using money created out of thin air at the Fed, it can in all likelihood be done. But then watch out!

Why Our Government Needs to Take Over the Federal Reserve Bank ASAP Taking over the Fed is the missing element needed to move humanity back from the brink of economic destruction and nuclear disaster, away from a future dominated by fraud, ugliness and warfare, toward a world of justice and beauty. Who gets the power to create money is the question that's at the heart of monetary reform, and this power is awesome, at times stronger than the executive, legislative and judicial powers combined.

Will Obama and the Supply-siders Inadvertently Drag Us Into Another Great Depression? Even as another Great Depression looms, our political/media system seems incapable of honestly addressing the crisis. Instead, the old partisan and lobbying games dominate politics, and obsession with trivia commands the media's limited focus. Creditor-friendly policies are crippling our economy: The attempt to protect the banksters from any losses is inflicting very large costs on everyone else. But can we stop this in time?

The psychological, cultural & societal disintegration of America under post-industrial capitalism What we're doing is trying to correct a massive socioeconomic problem, that results in disconnection and the loss of nurturing, by feeding our kids chemicals! Yes these stimulant drugs do seem to work, and a lot of kids are, in the short run, helped by them. The question is not so much whether these drugs should be used or not; the problem is that 80% of the time a kid is prescribed a medication, that's _all_ that happens.

How, exactly, did banksters swindle trillions from the middle class? Over the last decade our government has essentially "de-supervised' America's financial sector and turned it over to the perpetrators of one of the largest swindles in history. This swindle originated with the securitization of tens of thousands of fraud-based mortgages, i.e. near-worthless mortgages that were fraudulently bundled together and (thanks to government deregulation and no supervision) sold, criminally.

A simplified explanation of America's banking crisis and how it might be fixed When a bank is insolvent, it doesn't have enough capital to cover its losses. In that situation, banks wd be doing the RIGHT thing by keeping the bailout money that we're giving them -- not loaning it out. An insolvent bank needs to hold onto their capital because that's how they fix their balance sheets. If they loaned the money out, they'd be in danger of returning to the very situation we're trying to rescue them from
