many recent examples of people’s power uprisings suddenly ending the
reign of longstanding authoritarian regimes), I am especially struck by
parallels with South Korea’s 1987 June Uprising, when for 19
consecutive days, hundreds of thousands of people illegally went into
the streets and battled tens of thousands of riot police to a
standstill. On June 29, 1987, the military dictatorship finally
capitulated to the opposition’s demands to hold direct presidential
elections, thereby ending 26 years of military rule."

A quote...."There may be a danger at this stage that the (dwindling)
Egyptian middle class - to which many of the young revolutionaries
belong - may privilege "stability", thus relaxing their concentration
and mobilization over the past three weeks. The self-appointed
"Committee of the Wise Men", for instance, is trying hard to hijack all
the hard work propelled by the young revolutionaries by supporting just
a minor "reform" of the constitution. -- A clash with the working
classes - and the Egyptian countryside - may be looming. The Facebook
kids are not exactly wily politicians. What needs to be extracted now
is institutionalized commitments from the military junta, such as
freedom of the press starting now, and the abolition of the emergency
laws. For that the Facebook kids have to learn to negotiate - from a
position of high moral authority conferred by the street."

Siddiqui disappeared with her three children in Karachi in March 2003,
and for five years neither the US nor the Pakistani authorities
acknowledged holding her, even though she was reportedly seen in the US
prison at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. In July 2008, she mysteriously
reappeared in Ghazni, Afghanistan, where she was arrested for behaving
strangely, and then reportedly tried to shoot at a number of US
soldiers, but only ended up being shot herself. She was then rendered
to the US, where she was put on trial in New York for the alleged
incident in Ghazni, and not for any of the al-Qaeda allegations that
had been put forward during her lost years, and where, last September,
she received an 86-year sentence."

For The Record - A
quote...."Crawley, an unassuming town in the West Sussex commuter belt,
holds a dark secret. Hidden within its streets is a story of tragedy
and deceit that has left thousands of refugees living in misery for 40
years, exiled from their homeland by a conniving and unrepentant
government. It is a story – described by some as one of the darkest
days in British overseas policy – that has transfixed me for more than
a decade and shaken my very principles on conservation, ecology and the
environment movement."

fascist CIA backed thug) who helped create the 7/7 bombing in London
has been released after serving only a few years for 5 acts of
terrorism. Turns out he wasn’t even really being imprisoned all that
time, as the FBI needed to use him as a fake “witness” testifying
against other people in trials that landed them life sentences. This
globalist asset is now free to go on with his life, paid in full by
U.S. taxpayers, for helping to commit multiple acts of state sponsored
terrorism which benefited nothing but our “Global War on
Terror”.)

provide a national democratic exit from crisis and division, and can

Must Read - Key Concept Quote...."But
nothing
if
not
self-impressed,
Bernanke
will use the heft of the
world’s foremost central bank to keep rates from reaching natural
market levels,
and
the result will be tight money for all but the most blue-chip of
borrowers. Contrary to the popular belief that the central bank
must keep credit cheap in times of distress in order to make it
plentiful,
the greater truth
is that credit costs should rise during downturns as a way of luring
the savers so essential to capital restoration back into the marketplace."

This would work ONLY if there were savers along with
a sound currency....neither of which exists presently. - mpg

One
commentator
stated....
"For an economic system to be a
system, money must flow freely at all levels and in all corners. When
those in charge of the system decide to so order the mechanisms of the
financial sector to drive the money into a single huge pile, the system
ceases to be a system and a crash becomes inevitable. One might as well
force all the blood in your body to stay in the brain. The end result
is the same; death for the body." -- *

A quote...."The Federal Reserve’s actions in combating the Financial
Crisis have had dozens if not hundreds of consequences. However, one of
the most profound has largely gone unnoticed by all commentators.
-- That consequence of the Fed sending the clear message:
incompetence pays. -- Consider that since the Financial Crisis
first hit in mid-2007, the Federal Reserve has pumped TRILLIONS of
Dollars into Wall Street. The banks have done what they do best with
the money: funnel it into obscene salaries and bonuses. --
Meanwhile, all of these firms remain bankrupt (thanks to the suspension
of accounting principles no one cares), the underlying issues that
nearly took down the system remain in place, and savers and other
sensible folks have been fleeced due to US Dollar devaluation and
future taxpayer obligations."

money upward to themselves through extreme privatization, deregulation,
and an absolute “free market” ideology which is anything but an actual

up and asserting themselves against corruption and self-dealing by an
oligarchy, we’re missing what the oligarchs are doing right at home.
Take, for example, the activities of one of our biggest banks, JPMorgan
Chase. -- Newly released documents show that high officials of the bank
knew for a long time that Bernard Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme,
but did nothing to protect his investors—though they did protect their
own investments tied to him."

Quote
of
the Day...."The Court recognizes that an adverse
ruling regarding MERS’s authority to assign mortgages or act on behalf
of its member/lenders could have a significant impact on MERS and upon
the lenders which do business with MERS throughout the United States.
However, the Court must resolve the instant matter by applying the laws
as they exist today. It is up to the legislative branch, if it chooses,
to amend the current statutes to confer upon MERS the requisite
authority to assign mortgages under its current business practices.
MERS and its partners made the decision to create and operate under a
business model that was designed in large part to avoid the
requirements of the traditional mortgage recording process. This Court
does not accept the argument that because MERS may be involved with 50%
of all residential mortgages in the country, that is reason enough for
this Court to turn a blind eye to the fact that this process does not
comply with the law." -- *
