“Credit is the air that financial markets breathe, and when the air is poisoned, there’s no place to hide.” - Charles R. Morris

“I hadn’t heard that!” This is how the President, George W. Bush, Jr., responded, when he was asked his thoughts on the prospect that gasoline could go over $4 a gallon this summer. At the White House press conference, on Feb. 28, 2008, he also denied the country was headed into a recession. President Bush is a dimwit, a crude frat house wise guy, who never grew up. It’s fair to say that President Bush is also a one-man-train wreck, not only with respect to the Iraq War, the loss of Civil Liberties, (some of which predate the U.S. Constitution), but to the faltering economy as well. What he doesn’t know about basic economics could fill volumes. Following the lead of the late President Ronald Reagan, Bush turned the country over to the Vulture Capitalists to exploit. This was like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop.

1. Preface

The Obama-Clinton media Soap Opera meant that the winter disasters in Afghanistan remained widely unknown. Reports were written but not read. The Guardian leader (01.02.07) echoed the despairing tone of these reports.

“It is hard to be hopeful about Afghanistan. Sliding away from progress, the country has begun a fretful, violent descent towards calamity that all the efforts of Nato, aid agencies and Afghans seem unable to stop. To be pessimistic about Afghanistan's future is not to say that the world should walk away: it is to recognise that reality is very grim. What is being done now in the country, at great cost in money and lives, is not working, and must be improved upon if it is not soon to be abandoned in the face of confusion, obstruction and defeat.”

Walid Shoebat, "self-described former Muslim terrorist..."

[Melbourne, Fl. February 25, 2008] Nearly every one of the 2,000 seats at The King Center in Brevard County was filled with fannies attached to American fundamentalists [a fundamentalist is anyone who has quit thinking] who paid $18.00 for a seat and upwards of $1,000.OO to attend the pre-show meet and greet with the 'three stooges' of fundamentalism at the "WAKE UP AMERICA! Confessions of 3 X-Terrorists" show.

Washington's covert attempts to overturn an election result lie behind the crisis in Gaza, as leaked papers show.

The attempt by western politicians and media to present this week's carnage in the Gaza Strip as a legitimate act of Israeli self-defence - or at best the latest phase of a wearisome conflict between two somehow equivalent sides - has reached Alice-in-Wonderland proportions. Since Israel's deputy defence minister, Matan Vilnai, issued his chilling warning last week that Palestinians faced a "holocaust" if they continued to fire home-made rockets into Israel, the balance sheet of suffering has become ever clearer. More than 120 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israeli forces in the past week, of whom one in five were children and more than half were civilians, according to the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. During the same period, three Israelis were killed, two of whom were soldiers taking part in the attacks.
