How The Village Rolls

November 22, 2011

One of the reasons I started blogging was because of what I saw, and still see, as a failure by the main media to tell Americans the truth about…well…basically anything. Specifically, I was motivated by corporate media's collusion with the Bush White House in the run up to attacking the sovereign and non-threatening-to-the-U.S. nation of [...]

The Tale Of Two Protests

October 7, 2011

Back in the early goings of 2009, corporate media loved themselves some TEA Party. The hanging teabags. The Mel Gibson Patriot rent-a-costumes. The "don't tread on me" flags. The "taxed enough already" signs. Teevee media was all-the-hell-over the TEA Party. Sister Sarah and the odd Glenn Beck embraced the TEAs early, Fox News became the [...]

Dishonest Corporate Tools

August 19, 2011

The stunt known as the "super committee" of 12 congressional figures, 6 from each political party, has been purposely designed by both sides to avoid party and lawmaker responsibility for passing legislation which a wide majority of American citizens do not want passed. That's what bipartisan has come to mean. Passing stuff the electorate is [...]

Obama, The Tea Partier

August 11, 2011

I am convinced now that Barack Obama's only real goal as president is to satisfy the movers and shakers of Wall Street. I suppose in the modern American era, that's the primary goal of all elected presidents. Wall Street and multi-nationals pay for the presidential campaigns, and so all modern presidents find themselves beholding to [...]

Standard-To-Poor

August 6, 2011

The role of ratings agencies in the mortgage meltdown…. The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission reported in January 2011 that: "The three credit rating agencies were key enablers of the financial meltdown. The mortgage-related securities at the heart of the crisis could not have been marketed and sold without their seal of approval. Investors relied on [...]

Catfood Or Caliphate….

August 5, 2011

In an American era when what voters want has absolutely no meaning,…carries no weight whatsoever….almost anything can happen. Our overlords have just agreed to permit Congress to appoint a 12 member Patsy Committee to take the blame for cutting Social Security and Medicare. No new taxes, of course, will be considered……and no tax loophole closings [...]

Basing Policy On Falsehoods

July 20, 2011

Don't look now but we are in the middle of another Iraq moment. Though it happened over 8 years ago now, I remember it as if it were yesterday. Corporate media, working hand in hand with the Bush White House members, waged a campaign of propaganda against the American people, convincing a wide majority that [...]

Failed State?

June 8, 2011

Deregulated mortgage brokers, real estate appraisers, and Wall Street sellers of derivatives and credit default swaps loosely conspired to bring the largest economy in the world to it's knees. The only people punished were average Americans who lost homes and home equity, jobs, health care, retirement savings…and hope. Bogged down over 3 years in a [...]

Koch State University, Fla.

May 11, 2011

Should America's richest citizens be able to purchase the faculty hiring rights at state universities? In other words, in a democratic society, should one rich person decide who teaches at a state university and what the curriculum of that state university will be? A foundation bankrolled by Libertarian businessman Charles G. Koch has pledged $1.5 [...]
