scandals of financial wiseguys that 'know nothing,' including famed
'value investor,' Warren Buffett who says he knows nothing about his
investments and nothing about how ratings contributed to the housing
bubble. In the second half of the show, Max interviews economist
Michael Hudson about the Latvian economy and real liberal economics."

quote...."Even
if no international law, and certainly no Law of the Sea, actually
permits armed soldiers to board unarmed merchant ships in international
waters, it is good that Gelb had the guts to say there’s one. Israel
can rely as well on Dershowitz, the Harvard Law professor who years ago
proposed that Israel destroy Palestinian villages in retaliation for
suicide bombings—his own “Lidice” solution for which the Nazis who
destroyed the Czech village of Lidice in retaliation for the murder of
Rheinhard Heydrich were hanged. His counsel on the Huffington
Post will soon have the Israeli army storming Gaza, devastating
Lebanon, nuking Iran, and sinking cruise liners. When push came to the
shove of ethnically cleansing the entire West Bank of its Arab
population, Les and Al would be there to tell us all that it was right
and, of course, legal. That’s what lawyers, I mean real friends, are
for."

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=19615
Special Note - A
quote...."After listening to a number of speeches at a national
conference of progressives I come to this conclusion: Progressives are
more than eager to take credit for electing President Obama and even to
complain about the many failures of him and his administration.
They overwhelmingly feel that his campaign promises were far, far
better than what he has delivered. They are disappointed.
They are frustrated. They are sad. But ultimately they are
also cowards. -- Why do I say this? Because they seem
completely incapable of using straightforward language to criticize
Obama. They resist saying he has lied to the public, betrayed
progressives and sold out to corporate interests. Most
importantly, they do not want to openly confess and proclaim that he
has been a sham government reformer."

fear. I’m not talking about fear for their lives although I’ve heard of
people who’ve said, ‘yeah, I’m afraid for my life,’ but I don’t think
that’s the main thing. It’s more a fear of, well, job loss. That’s a
big one for reporters. I talked to a reporter who had done one nine

The blatant, open,

nation's representitutes on behalf of Israel/AIPAC's agenda each and every
single day is simply ASTOUNDING!!
In almost any other country in the world these people would be tried
for treason and probably hung for cravenly complying with the whims of
a foreign power. Here in this country they're feted, lauded,
given vast sums of money and repeatedly elected by a population so
completely stupid and cowardly that they're willing to spend themselves
into utter poverty while sacrificing the very LIVES of their own sons and
daughters on behalf of the Israel/AIPAC
agenda. ---

Calling this population

description of their actual capabilities. Their degenerate mental

receipts of $146.8 billion, 3rd and 4th highest ever, respectively.
Sequentially, the number was $53 billion worse than the April deficit
of $82.7 billion. Total interest on Treasury debt was $23.8 billion, or
8% of total outlays. Surprisingly, in May, the DTS announced that only
$43 billion of new debt was raised (largely due to a settlement delay
of about $100 billion at the end of May which hit the June ledger)."
