By Mike Whitney
Last week's ructions in the bond market, leave little doubt that the financial crisis has entered a new and more lethal phase.

Nader, Whitney, and Michael Hudson: financial truths
A bitter cud to chew? Perhaps they're pessimistic or perhaps they're realistic, but here's a financial article and video round-up for you:
No Light In The Tunnel A Housing Crash Update
By Mike Whitney
Why is the press misleading the public about housing? The housing market is crashing. There are no "green shoots" or "glimmers of hope"; the market is worn to a stump, it's kaput.
Where's My Change?
By Ralph Nader
The corporate chieftains have easy access to the White House and the new President, whether these bosses come on missions demanding power or missions of beggary for bailouts. When will he meet with the leading heads of consumer protection groups with millions of dues-paying members who could give him the base to hold accountable and regulate the democracy-denying, economy-wrecking corporate supremacists?
This Is A Must Listen:
The Financial Barbarians at the Gate: Guns & Butter Interviews financial economist and historian, Dr. Michael Hudson
The history of banking and the criminalization of the banking system; tax policy; real estate asset inflation; US imperialism via the monetary system; similarities with the Roman Republic; what measures labor should take.

Strengthen the unions
Card Check
"You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Chains"
By Mike Whitney
Forget about the fake differences between the two political parties. There aren't any. The only hope for deep structural change is to strengthen the unions and give workers a place at the policy table. That's the only peaceful way to dismantle this parasitic financial regime and bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth.

Not a Normal Recession
This Is Not A Normal Recession: Moving on to Plan B
By Mike Whitney
The global economy is being sucked into a black hole and most Americans have no idea why. The whole problem can be narrowed down to two words: "structured finance."
~:~
Woo! "Black hole"..."structured" finance...if he keeps it up, Mr. Whitney will become an astrologer by default before he knows it!

G20 was part of new order script
The G-20 Washout
By Mike Whitney
The financial crisis is being used by Wall Street big-wigs to restructure the economy and create a permanent class of working poor.
~:~
Yes, that's what many of us have been saying. And Congress is in on the game so they're no help.
Is there no one who cares for the common good?

And what does Congress do?
Two articles if you're up for them:
French Premier Francois Fillon: We're on "The Edge of The Abyss"
By Mike Whitney
People are scared and removing their money from the banks and money markets which is intensifying the freeze in the credit markets and driving stocks into the ground like a tent stake. Meanwhile, our leaders are "caught in theheadlights", still believing they can "finesse" their way through the biggest economic cataclysm since the Great Depression. It's madness.

Down the Road to Serfdom
By Ann Berg
So here we are: a phony monetary system, $3 trillion wasted on wars, and acitizenry mired in debt. And what does Congress do? It adds more debt - a trillion dollars, just for starters, since once starting down this slippery slope, it won't be able to stop.
~:~
Don't know about you but I'm staying cool, staying with my bank. Panic is what 'they' want us to do - so I won't. Staying away from the voting booth in November is what 'they' want us to do - so I will not.
Although my Jupiter-Saturn trine is outraged by their blatant thieveries, we Capricorns can be so cussedly stubborn, can't we?

Paulson's silver canoe
Black Monday? Global Investors vote "No" on Paulson's
Bailout
By Mike Whitney
The bill is just Paulson's way of carving a silver canoe
for he and his brandy-drooling investor buddies so they
can paddle away to some island paradise while the rest
of us drown in a bottomless ocean of debt.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20900.htm
~:~
"Brandy-drooling"! How deftly said. And I was thinking
either a Paraguayan paradise or a Dubai high rise for
them - security guarded to keep out the rabble, of
course.

Reality Check: The Democrats Are The Real Problem
By Mike Whitney
If the path to peace requires crushing the Democratic Party and its blood-thirsty candidates; so be it. The main thing is to stop the killing. If Obama won't do it, we'll find someone who will.

The Problem Of Patriotism
By James Rothenberg
Race, sex, and religion do not demand your loyalty but your country does. Your village or town doesn't. Your city doesn't. The state you live in doesn't. New York and California don't care if you are loyal to them.
What's the difference? Armed force. Uncle Sam needs you. To fight.
