Was the 2008 Financial Crisis Caused by the Big Banks?

According to wallstreetonparade.com– It took eight years of research to compile a data set of annual balance sheets of more than 11,000 commercial banks dating back to 1870 in 17 advanced economies. And in every country, the study arrived at the same finding: concentrating the banking system in the hands of five or less giant banks leads to financial instability and more severe financial crises. The bank balance sheets of the following countries were examined: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark...

The Neo-Enclosure of the Whole World

Whitney Webb is not like me, sending out essays on the regular, but when she does, just wow. Working off the attempt by Wall Street to financialize America’s national parks and conserved areas, and living in Chile as she does, she found something and holy pigeon-toed Pete (an expression I am not allowed to use at home) is it fiendish, as in from the devil as in the worst thing you can possibly imagine. It took me a full day to read the essay and understand it. I am doing a precis and folding in ...

The Imperialists Will Tolerate a Two-State But Not a One-State Solution in Palestine-Israel

A two-state solution (that is, having two independent separate nations) in Palestine-Israel would definitely be an improvement. However, it would not challenge and threaten the forces of imperialism because Zionist Israel and Hamas would still be allowed to exist if there are two separate nations. Furthermore, land disputes between the two nations would continue. The forces of imperialism include the imperial nations such as the United States, the military-industrial complex, and NATO.

Watching Washington Foment Nuclear War

Now he reverses the policy — aka, he lied. So where’s the pushback? Congress, media? What could be of greater consequence than lying the country into war with a nuclear superpower?” — Michael Tracey

Are the peoples of the Western world so completely insouciant that they do not notice that their politicians are pushing them into direct conflict with Russia? It seems Hungarians are the only European people who have any sense.

Gloat While You Still Can

“The hour is much later than you think…on multiple fronts: Financial, political, medical and geopolitical.” — Edward Dowd

In the pre-gloat hours before the verdict in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, Lawfare caporegime Andrew Weissmann (“Mueller’s Pitbull”) confessed Valley Girl style from his MSNBC clubhouse perch, “. . . I mean, I am, like, now I have a man-crush on him, he is such a great judge!” Bromance on, looks like! If the two happen to frequent the same athletic club in downtown Manhatta...

Cell Phone Use Can Be Deadly

Following are just a few of the studies that show the risks associated with exposure to mobile phone radiation.

Microwave Radiation Causes Eye Damage – A study published in the journal Bioelectromagnetics showed that the microwave radiation from cell phones causes cataracts and other eye damage by creating tiny air pockets in the lens of the eye.

Microwave Radiation Damages DNA – A four year study conducted by the European Union (EU) by 12 research groups in 7 European countries found that radia...

Are Biden And Netanyahu Orchestrating War in the United States?

I start by saying it outright: America is on the precipice of war! And I’m talking not only about war abroad; I’m talking about war within the United States. And these wars are being deliberately orchestrated by President Joe Biden in the United States and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel.

Strong language? Yes. But the facts prove the language is not hyperbolic.

On February 8, I wrote a column entitled U.S. Government Gives Millions To Jewish Group To Escort Illegals Into America.

The Mises Institute’s Concern Trolls

There is no shortage of former hangers-on at the Mises Institute who now claim to have deep insights into the inner workings of the Institute and its staff. Among these people, one will often find a certain group of people who never miss an opportunity to tell you all about how tight they once were with the Institute staff, and how now they can no longer support the Institute because “it changed.”

The latest writer that checks the usual boxes of the “self-described-insider-turned-critic” gimmick...

Why FDA Pushes Low Fat, No Meat Diet – Leaky Gut from Overkill Rx

PURE OPINION, NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

Why does the FDA and food producers over advertise low or no fat, no meat or dairy, foods?

Humans need to supplement cholesterol from fat made in their liver about 40% more from diet to make enough to support the Innate Immune System. Meat is the only way to get enough essential Vitamin B-12, iodine, iron and zinc without duplicative supplementation.  It isn’t necessarily toxins that cause havoc in our bodies but leaky gut which leaks good bacteria, undigested fo...

How Phony ‘Civil Rights’ Put Your Life in Danger

How Phony “Civil Rights” Put Your Life in Danger

A recent story revealed that one-third to one-half of the students at the prestigious UCLA School of Medicine are unqualified. These students belong to racial and ethnic minorities; most are blacks and Latinos. One student couldn’t identify a major artery when questioned by a surgeon during an operation.

Would you want a “doctor” like that to treat you? Isn’t the purpose of a medical school to train competent physicians? Why, then, were these unqu...
