Additional Thoughts on the Bailout
"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office" -
Aesop
By Paul Craig Roberts
Just as the Bush regime's wars have been used to pour billions of dollars
into the pockets of its military-security donor base, the Paulson bailout looks
like a Bush regime scheme to incur $700 billion in new public debt in order to
transfer the money into the coffers of its financial donor base.

Who Cares about Omar Khadr ?
By Debbie Menon
The case against him is insane. - He is a child soldier, which
means he is a victim of war not a war criminal.

Capitalism Without Capital?
By Ron Paul
Not only is our nation on the verge of bankruptcy, but so are
its people and private institutions. We are now repeatedly hearing about
businesses "needing to access the credit market to make payroll." This is an
unmistakable sign of more dire consequences ahead for the economy.

Americans Unwilling to Face Reality
By John R. MacArthur
Even with all the frenzied commentary about the credit crisis
now choking the media (while the financial geniuses assembled at the corner of
Wall and K Streets scramble to save their hides), I'm struck more by what's not
being said than what is. - Where, for example, is the voice of organized labor?

The American Way of Life is Dead...
By Stanislav Mishin
The era of the dollar is over and with it US power. The dollar
has been in a steady free fall for the better of the past 6 years, faster than
the steady decline of the preceding 30 years. How is it, that with a prolonged
war, costing close to $1 trillion, no new taxes have been raised? Well, that's
what printing presses are for and why since 2004, the Fed has stopped issuing
the M3 report.

War Hero or War Criminal?
By Robert Richter
I will never forget how stunned I was when Gen. Telford Taylor,
a chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials after World War Two, told me
that he strongly supported the idea of trying the U.S. pilots captured in North
Vietnam as war criminals - and that he would be proud to lead in their
prosecution.
