Last week, the United States Labor Department reported that the nonfarm payrolls rose 211,000 last month. This data suggest that the Federal Reserve will definitely increase interest rates next week during its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Not so fast, says Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital. Speaking in an interview with Yahoo! Finance, Schiff explained that the numbers are a mirage, false and a work of fiction. With slowing consumer spending, tepid growth in the services industry and a contracting in manufacturing, Schiff says there is no way the jobs picture can be as rosy as the federal … Continue reading

Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Google, has backed a “hate-speech spell-checker” that would nudge ordinary web users away from unwelcome forms of expression on social media. Writing in the New York Times, Schmidt said that it was important to use the web’s power of connectivity to “bring out the best in people.” While he acknowledged the positives of the Internet, such as its role as a platform for the “raw reality of oppressed people and their real needs,” he added that the web is “also allowing some of our worst traits – such as envy, oppression, and hate – to come into full … Continue reading

Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid yesterday called on the U.S. Congress to impeach President Obama on the grounds that “he is currently mentally incompetent due to excessive use of marijuana when he was younger.”
In an article titled, “Is our Stoner P…

IS fashioned during the Bush years as a Pentagon PSYOP in Iraq.

The issue of survival for France after Paris’ second terrorist mass murder in a year, was expressed by French President Hollande’s going immediately and urgently into action, to force a Russia-France-United States alliance to destroy ISIS and al-Qaeda.

The issue of survival for Russia after the ISIS bombing of the Russian airliner over Syria, was expressed by President Putin’s powerful speech to parliament in the military hall, evoking Russia’s 15-year struggle to defeat domestic terror, and now international terror, enlisting every Russian to see himself or herself a “soldier” in that war.

The issue of America’s survival now, has nothing to do with the electoral hullabaloo since the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. The issue, is the President Obama who insists on attacking and confronting Russia and China as enemies, and who hides and denies the evidence of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, London support of radical jihadism. The President Obama who ordered the U.S. “opening” to the Muslim Brotherhood since 2011; who since the overthrow and murder of Qaddafi has been driving toward an ultimate showdown with Russia and China, in which he thinks, suicidally, they will capitulate to regime-change anywhere he wills it.

EIR Founding Editor Lyndon LaRouche has called for Obama’s removal from office since the Spring of 2009, identifying Obama’s fatal “Nero” character as soon as he entered the White House.

LaRouche laid it out today:

“Putin exercises a quality of leadership superior to most U.S. Presidents in American history — but Obama! Obama committed a knowing fraud, twice on national television, covering up for the terrorist operation in California. He supported that operation by trying hide its character, and then to hide its sponsors. Obama is a factor of terrorism and war, potentially thermonuclear war.”

Obama is now pushing the nation and the planet toward a thermonuclear confrontation which human civilization cannot survive. Nuclear weapons experts can see it, and are making public warnings. At least one U.S. Member of Congress can see it; Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii challenged Defense Secretary Carter with this Obama threat of nuclear war in the House Armed Services Committee. President Putin and the Chinese leadership certainly see it, and are taking every preparation, as well as every war-avoidance action.

On Wednesday a LaRouchePAC collaborator in the Midwest called his Congressman, briefed him, and told him Obama had to be removed using the 25th Amendment, immediately. The Congressman said he hadn’t heard any discussion of that. The constituent replied, forcefully, “Then you start it.” The Congressman, improbably, did that, and called the constituent back twice more to report how others in Congress had reacted.

That’s one citizen. Multiply that. Change your thinking about  your ability to help do, what’s really right and necessary.

“The question we have to ask is: Should they change their business model?”

The decision to downsize followed one of Morgan Stanley’s slowest quarters for bond trading since the global credit crunch.

“The increase is evidence that efforts to contain the flow of foreign recruits to extremist groups in Syria and Iraq have had limited impact.”

Despite a ceaseless propaganda campaign declaring all is well with the U.S. economy, the Status Quo is fragile–and voters know it. Not only do they know the economy–and their financial security–is one crisis away from meltdown, they’re also fed up
