Fraud
doesn't just happen, it needs a little help.
And
Then There Were None:
Politicians can – and do – promise to bring back American
manufacturing jobs. Not going to happen; the jobs are gone and
America makes more stuff now (in terms of dollar value) than ever
before. It's just done with a lot fewer employees. The jobs that
made the middle class possible are gone, period. We are now
caregivers, retail workers, barristas, waiters and customer-service
representatives. And those jobs are starting
to melt away, too.
Reminder:
Before
you ditch Yahoo email in favor of something else, remember that that
something else will have to give NSA/FBI whatever they ask for, and
undoubtedly already have.
Belaboring
the Obvious:
Baghdad
is
warning anyone who cares that Turkey's presence in Iraq/Syria raises
the specter of a “regional
war'. Sure
wouldn't want a regional war in that region.
Progression:
We've gone from a nation of laws to a nation of lawyers to, now, a
nation of law enforcers. Cops have become revenue
collectors with weapons who treat us all like suspects. Talk
about sovereign immunity, they're
our sovereigns and they've got immunity. And guns.
Multiple
Choice:
“Do we really want a nuclear war with Russia?” a) No, b)
Nonono, c)
They aren't going to ask us.
Contagion:
In Mumbai, 500 call-center employees have been arrested and charged
with duping US citizens via phone scams. Note that just like the
CEO's of big international banks and every shop on Wall Street, it
was a handful of rogue
employees who were doing all the bad, not their bosses.
Poof!
The FBI
agreed to destroy laptops of the
Clinton aides as
part of their immunity deals. Didn't want no confusing evidence
'round here.
Up,
Up, And Away!
The IMF notes that global debts have reached $152 trillion –
that's more than the value of all the goods and services in the whole
world for more than two years. If you think even most of it will
ever be paid back, raise your
hand.
Nuremberg:
Great Britain says it will no longer even pretend to pay any
attention to the concept of human rights during warfare, invasions,
incursions, or other violent applications of force.

O'Graphic:
What did you do in the war, daddy?

Wow! Talk about hitting it 'out of the park', today's offering really exposes the chutzpah of those in charge [while the rest of us stand there frozen with fear because there is NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!]
How ironic is it that we can put the 'civil' back into 'civil society' EITHER by restoring Justice OR by the barrel of a gun...and it's pretty obvious which method our 'betters' have chosen.
Some posts really 'stand out' and this, sir, is one of your finer pieces!
