Obama edges to the dark side  ---  http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2010/09/2010916104022372281.html
Must Read - A quote...."The warning signs that President Obama's trajectory would depart from his campaign rhetoric were clear from the beginning. Like when the newly minted President chose for his senior economic advisor's men like Lawrence Summer, Clinton's one time Treasury Secretary, who were responsible for the policies that besides destroying Haiti's rice crop, also enabled a million and one corporate get rich schemes such as the sub-prime mortgage bonanza whose collapse has left the country in its current disastrous condition."

The Road to World War III - The Global Banking Cartel Has One Card Left to Play
  ---  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=21221
Must Read - Quote of the Day...." When we analyze our current crisis, focusing on the past few years of economic activity blinds us to the history and context that are vital to understanding the root cause. What we have been experiencing is not the result of an unforeseen economic crash that appeared out of the blue with the collapse of the housing market. It was certainly not brought on by people who bought homes they couldn’t afford. To frame this crisis around a debate on economic theory misses the point entirely. To even blame it on greedy bankers, while essentially accurate, also misses the most vital point. -- This crisis is the direct result of a strategic economic attack on the existence of a middle class and democracy worldwide. The stock market and economy have become weapons of mass oppression manipulated by an imperial banking cartel  ---  http://daviddegraw.org/2010/09/the-global-banking-cartel/  ---  to impose order and exploit the masses. This crisis boldly represents the manifest evolution of the fascist spirit  ---  http://daviddegraw.org/2010/09/notes-on-fascism/  ---  reasserting itself as the dominant ideology."

War Crimes, America's Moral Meltdown  ---  http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/09/28/gordon-duff-war-crimes-americas-moral-meltdown/
Must Read - A quote...."Over 40 years ago, I was in Vietnam, part of an American military effort draped with shame and failure.  My Lai was the crowning achievement of the war, nearly 600 women and children mowed down by automatic weapons fire.  The man we know as General Colin Powell helped shove it under a rug.  Lt. Calley,  worse than many of Himmler’s SS executed for war crimes during World War II, became a hero to many Americans.  Killing civilians was “policy” in Vietnam.  You could murder anyone you wanted as long as they could be made to look like enemy combatants.  If you killed them with a knife, even if others held them to the ground, you were awarded a Silver Star.  This isn’t conjecture, I know this to be a fact."

Is The Federal Reserve Out Of Control?  ---  http://www.blacklistednews.com/news-10722-0-0-0--.html
A quote...."What in the world is going on over at the Federal Reserve?    Has it gotten to the point where the Federal Reserve is completely and totally out of control?  There is increasing speculation in the financial community that the Federal Reserve is on the verge of unleashing another round of quantitative easing.  In fact, at their September meeting, Federal Reserve officials hinted very strongly that quantitative easing is very much on their minds when they stated that the Federal Open Market Committee "is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return inflation, over time, to levels consistent with its mandate."  You might want to reread that quote a couple of times just to let it sink in.  Do you see what the Fed is saying there?  The Fed is actually saying that it has a mandate to maintain a certain level of inflation.  Not that this is a secret to anyone that has seriously studied the Federal Reserve.  Since 1913, inflation has constantly gone up, U.S. government debt has increased exponentially and the U.S. dollar has lost over 96 percent of its value.  But for Federal Reserve officials to openly state that a certain amount of inflation is part of their mandate is absolutely stunning.

Related Article - A quote...."From the FT: "An “international currency war” has broken out, according to Guido Mantega, Brazil’s finance minister, as governments around the globe compete to lower their exchange rates to boost competitiveness." Welcome to the new frontline. It is being played out at every 500x levered FX trade station. No prisoners are taken as those wounded are immediately shot. And the incursions have now entered stocks and bonds. Trading any assets is now retaliation against a central bank somewhere (most typically at Liberty 33 or at the Marriner Eccles building) which is engaged in open warfare against the world's middle class. And yes, the Brazil Central Bank earlier announced that it was heading unto the breach, buying yet more dollars for 1.7094 reais at auction, and has bought as much as $1 billion USD each day for the past two weeks, putting the Japanese intervention from two weeks ago to shame."

Mrkt Tech Note - Follow up on the article shown above. -- A quote...."Now that the PGN crash is done and over with, we decided to look at just what shares the NASDAQ decided to DK (in other words deem invalid), and which would stay. Assuming a fair and efficient market would mean all trades should stay, and the algos that were pushing the offer all the way to $4 should eat their losses, just as those who bought at $4 should keep their profits. On the other hand, assuming the whole episode was seen as one big error, then any trades that diverged from the prevailing NBBO before the crash of around $44, should be DKed. To our astonishment, the NASDAQ picked the totally arbitrary number of 15% to set as a threshold on DKing, meaning that any trades executed above $38.10 would stay, while every trade at $38.10 and below would be cancelled."

It’s said that black death spread by fleas
On backs of rats they rode
One fateful autumn thus they came
With vengeance as their code

Like blight they spread from crags to plains
To hilly dusty turf
To rocky lunar landscapes ‘neath
The rooftop of the earth
 
They hid behind the highest clouds
To fly as swift as sound
With daisy cutters cluster bombs
And spies upon the ground....
