George Orwell was correct in 1946 when he wrote the following: “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.” I would add this insight: “If you don’t know what you’re doing, ask for help.” The problem is: the vast majority of people don’t know that they don’t know what they’re doing. Let me give you a sadly typical example. I came across a video of an articulate woman who makes the case against federal regulation of land in the state of Oregon. She claims to be a lawyer. I have no reason to believe that … Continue reading

The downturn in the US stock market is a problem made in America by the Federal Reserve, argued Peter Schiff on the Daily Ledger. The only question now is when will the Fed restart quantitative easing to ensure the Democrats and Hillary Clinton don’t face the same problem Republicans encountered at the end of Bush’s presidency – a lost election thanks to a crumbling economy. Peter thinks they might wait until the US is “officially” in a recession, which could be as long as 7 months from now. Highlights from the interview: “I think not only are we in a … Continue reading

Some credit Albert Einstein, others credit Benjamin Franklin, with the observation that “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing year after year and expecting different results.” Whomever we credit, he was absolutely right. A perfect example of that insanity is education in general and particularly black education. Education Next has recently published a series commemorating the 50th anniversary of James S. Coleman’s groundbreaking 1965 report, “Equality of Educational Opportunity,” popularly referred to as the “Coleman Report.” In 1965, the average black 12th grader placed at the 13th percentile of the score distribution for whites in math and reading. … Continue reading

Barack Obama’s lavish pre-debate praise for Hillary Clinton, in his Politico interview today, was presumably prompted by Wall Street orders, to try to save Clinton’s
campaign as an obviously pro-Wall Street mouthpiece of Obama.

Obama may have gone too far, when he said that going to war in Libya was a close call for him, and he was helped into doing it by Clinton’s determination. One day earlier, Obama’s former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Clinton was the only one in the White House team who definitely saw the Libya war “as for regime change.”

Remember Libya – now an ungoverned terrorist safe haven and arms source for terrorists in Syria, as the result of Obama’s illegal assassination of Libya’s head of state. This is the truth about Libya, which Hillary has refused to admit.

Pro-Wall Street, pro-war Hillary Clinton has got to be dumped as a prospective Democratic candidate. Wall Street’s accelerating financial blowup, with Hillary as its creature, is further discrediting her.

The candidate whom the Wall Street Journal declared, right from the start, “Wall Street’s Enemy No. 1,” is Martin O’Malley, who campaigned from the start last May on reinstating FDR’s Glass-Steagall Act, Wall Street’s wolf’s bane.

Wall Street’s enemy is not Senator Bernie Sanders, who has been fraudulently promoted to take that role, and is a fraud in it.

EIR Founding Editor Lyndon LaRouche stated today that “It is obvious that O’Malley is the right guy. His views have a certain degree of convergence with my own views on this subject, the necessity to shut down Wall Street before we are destroyed as a nation by it. I would go fully out for O’Malley in contrast to the jerks in the race, who need to be dumped. That’s includes Trump. That includes Hillary.”

O’Malley, LaRouche added, has the right policy on the most crucial matter; he has needed to have the conviction to carry it out, including the conviction of his own
powers to carry it out.

Look at the results of Wall Street’s devastation of the United States since they got the miserable Presidents Bush and Obama into office. Look at the shocking reports emerging, week after week, on spiraling heroin addiction, suicides, rapidly rising death rates across the entire non-Hispanic white population since 2000.

Why, LaRouche asked, are a rising number of Americans committing mass suicide in these ways since Bush and Obama have been in office? Because they’ve
accept marginal conditions of life, imposed on them by a collapsing Wall Street.”

Dump the jerks and shut Wall Street down. Let’s organize a Presidency.

Stonewalling by Justice Department may result in Watergate-level resignations.

Suit claims an Indigo Police Dept. officer shot the 18-year-old without justification.

Police say they grope girls and ‘slap them in the face when they protest.’

We wonder if perhaps the retailer has entered a terminal decline similar to what befell that other “Mart.”

Delegates to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos were reportedly very interested in the ‘killer robots’ issue.
