Get down to the truth…

Monthly talking points…

“Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression.” Thomas Jefferson

Free the #NATO3!

    This video shows Chicago Police officers arbitrarily pulling over a car in Bridgeport, Chicago and questioning its passengers about Occupy Chicago and the NATO protest before threatening police violence against NATO protesters. The video went viral after the activists posted it to social media. Now, three of them are being charged with terrorism in the wake of a warrantless preemptive raid on activists homes in Chicago. An attorney from the National Lawyers Guild describes the video: They were driving in a car and were pulled over without any kind of justification or reason by the Chicago

Dominance Games: Our poor are supposed to be. They should glory in the title.

Dominance Games Its nice to have a reliable caste system in place if you want stability and fodder …. useful useless bodies to use as clubs of regulation in the wars of attrition waged by those wishing to accede to the highest rungs of power and control in this our finely combed world wide delineation of joy, power, influence, force, damage. Ideologies vie for supremacy.  Political extremes vie foe hegemony.  Creeps and vixens of all sorts pray to leap into the role of accepted royalty and loved dictator. Here at home the working and non working poor are just

chicago raid

From the Chicago Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild National Lawyers Guild Condemns Preemptive Police Raids & Unlawful Searches on the Streets. Early morning house raid in Bridgeport and harassment of activists indicates intolerance of free speech rights. Chicago, IL 5/17/12 — The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) condemns a preemptive police raid that took place at approximately 11:30pm Wednesday in the Bridgeport neighborhood, and instances of harassment on the street, in which Chicago police are unlawfully detaining, searching, and questioning NATO protesters. The Bridgeport raid was apparently conducted by the Organized Crime Division of the Chicago Police Department

How Does Conservatism Eat The American Dream?

Conservatives have undoubtedly achieved enormous budget cuts in California and they are said to have managed to avoid raising taxes on the rich,but according to most reports I have read, the state is in dire financial straights because of these failed Right Wing policies. “So,” I ask—”What else is new? Is there a situation in recorded history where any Republican fiscal policy has ever had a positive outcome wherever it has been implemented?” And now they are working their rear ends off trying to get their hands on The White House again so they can sock it to the rest of us for the next

David Cameron’s deficit fixation.

Congratulations to Martin Wolf for attacking David Cameron’s fixation with the deficit in today’s Financial Times. It would be nice if the so called economists advising Cameron had studied economics – Keynes in particular. Keynes said (quite rightly) “Look after unemployment, and the budget will look after itself”. However, Martin Wolf is wrong to argue that “With long term government borrowing as cheap as in living memory….now is the time for government to borrow.” (Actually those are the words of Jonathan Portes, director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, who Martin Wolf quotes.) The reason Wolf

Some money is BOTH base AND broad.

Most people who have worked thru a basic introductory economics text book know that a nation’s stock of money can be split into an infinite number of categories. But one common categorisation involves splitting money supply into just two categories: base and broad. Base money is central bank created money. Other names include “the monetary base” or “high powered money”. In contrast, there is broad money, i.e. commercial bank created money. However, there is a small portion of the total money supply which is both base AND broad. This arises where a private sector non-bank entity purchases government debt.
