  Oh yeah…. almost forgot to say great show…. last week was a bit too fast… the week before was bit too slow… this week the balance was just right IMHO!!!

  PS. Looking forward to the new show with Stacy appearing… YAY!… I’m still convinced Stacy doesn’t appear on the press tv coz she would have to wear a hijab… ok, well maybe the budget isn’t big enough for two presenters… go on, you can tell me!!!

  The detail I get from the Vietnam War, according to Russian Television, who made a documentary from their point of view, is that the Vietnamese, with the help of the Soviets, shot down some 2500 U.S. aircraft. This tiny, secret fact not priviledged to U.S. citizens sets the tone for the cold war many decades afterward. The deterring factor is convential weapons limiting air superiority, followed upon by MAD.

  They also really don’t want you to watch this episode of “The Cold War” actually produced by CNN, which was for a time, the propaganda arm:

  Of course, the wider context is always geopolitical:

  http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-1630001170436508560&ei=tj37StuSEIaIlAfM2OHYCQ&q=cold+war+documentary#

  So, since the 1980′s, we are to continue to engage nuclear brinkmanship as a sub strategy of MAD.

  The gold standard was a limiting factor to expanding commercial banking sector influence within the expansion of the global arms race, and in particular was percieved as the stumbling block to more intervention in Vietnam.

  Because you could not set a derivative against the lease rates of gold, you could not overwhelmingly expand the leverage multiple, and thus must rely solely on your “real” economy to foot the bill for full spectrum dominance.

  22 Republicans and 20 Democrats caught using talking points straight from a biotech company in their House health care speeches:

  right so I thought max pulled that thing about peak water out of his shvang hole or whatever you call it, but I had to search it and turns out it’s real.

  peak non-renewable water makes sense to me, but peak ecological water sounds like just using a buzz word to make a point. Anyway, non-sustainable practices of water use…
  anything else peaking?
  You think we’ve hit peak stupidity yet?

  Max, the lease on the base in Cuba was up 3 years ago. The U.S refuses to leave but sends a check for the rent which in turn is returned by Castro. The U.S is like a bad relative.

  @ Jeemobon – Yes, we appear to have reached Peak Inequality in the US. The US is more unequal that at any time in recorded history.

  Of course, it may not be a peak . . . it can always widen even more. If it does, there will be revolution and it won’t be pretty.

  @Max

  i’d be interested in hearing alec baldwin if you could get him to really say anything.
  the reason nobody cares what he has to say is that he has soooo toned it down since obama got elected, i imagine so that he can one day run for public office as a democrat. the stuff he used to write and say really packed a wallop.

  @Bonn: so Rumsfeld is your hero??? You missed the video of him shaking Saddams hand when he was in Baghdad and delivering the gas that was lobbed( genocide??) @ the Kurds and the Iranians…what about his connection to Big Pharma and the flu vaccinations??? Didn’t he also maintain a desk @ the Pentagon as a consultant even after he stepped down from the Sec of D position…and recently as broadcast on C-Span on the dais with Cheney and Sen. Kyle delivering a keynote address for the Flame of Freedom award…or some such neocon tribute…the mess he perpetrated in the Pentagon since the 1960′s still continues the style of billing and contracting enforced today..no competitive bidding, cost plus contracts, the swinging door between gov and private defense contractors; the DIA and the extra assassination team that Cheney had at his disposal…where are those assassins today anyway?? Maybe that’s why Obama keeps bowing to foreign dignitaries???

  Here is the ticket to staying on top of the crap pile…

  ####RATIONALITY#########

  @Scott:
  Sure, if one wants to sit on top of a pile of shit and play King of the Crap Mountain.

  But even rationality won’t stop the criminal cartel from sealing of certain regions of the world from industry and people: say like the great plains. All in the order of ‘leave room for nature’. Oh, and rationality says that you, Scott, are of a lesser order than some animals. It all depends on who gets to foist their male dominination over others.

  Peak water, peak oil, peak gold, peak lethargy, peak stupdity: seems like man’s rational age sure has led to a lot of sorry peaks.

  Not to worry. Personal agency will be denied for rational choice. Goody: and no inequality! Two classes of people: elite and slaves. Oh, or dead people.
