    @Fiatmentalist


    … are willing to compromise on how capital is defined …


    … One proposal European banks and regulators tried to get rid of — and that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner advocated — has survived and made it into the Toronto G-20 statement. That’s a plan to cap bank leverage by setting a ratio of assets to capital. While current Basel rules allow banks to assign weights to assets based on their risks, the leverage ratio would look at all assets without a risk assessment.

    These currency movements are ludicrous.
    A 10 cent increase in the value of the Euro over the Dollar in one month.
    What has changed in a month – we were in the shit before and are in the shit now.
    All the same I think gold may be a good buy soon in Euros especially if gold stays stable in dollar terms and the euro rises to 1.40 again.
    But it is just the banks taking more of our surplus really – must get into that racket.

    EU wants broader UN rights, Britain tries to ease concerns
    http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/diplomacy-un.5ku

    “The EU will submit a resolution that would give its new top officials, president Herman Van Rompuy and foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton, the right to address the UN General Assembly in the name of the 27-nation bloc.
    The union would also be able to circulate documents, make proposals and demand more seats, but it would keep its observer status.”

    EU is not a state, it is not the United States of Europe, though it has all the attributes in the right place if it wants to declare itself as a supreme state. And it sure acts as if it were a state.
    Just like US is at war, we all know it, we all see it, we all feel it and we all talk about it, but since war has never declared it still means that US is technically not at war. The same thing applies to EU.

  21. From the Ellen Brown article…

    >> “The only viable way to reflate a collapsed money supply is to put more money into it; and creating the national money supply is the sovereign right of governments, not of banks. If the government wants to remain sovereign, it needs to reassert that right.”

    She is also confused about sovereignty.

    Here’s how the sovereignty stacks up:

    # God (‘the creator’ of sovereign men and women)
    # Men and Women (Sovereigns. Owners of inalienable/natural property rights)
    # Government (a fiction created by Sovereigns. Grantors of privileges to legal fictions.)
    # Legal fictions (persons/corporations. Children/Instruments of the state.)

    A government cannot stand above it’s creator, just as in a religious interpretation of sovereignty, man cannot stand above ‘God’.

    By making those people calling themselves “the government” your master, you have given up your sovereign natural property rights for slave benefits and privileges. You have been granted these as ‘liberties’ (not to be confused with freedoms.) A liberty as in as slaves day off!

    It really quite simple. If you allow taxes to be extorted from you, you have given up your property rights in return for the privileges those taxes supposedly return. You are no longer sovereign, you are a child of the State. It’s that simple. A sovereign cannot be bound by any unwanted obligations only by laws – the laws of men (sovereigns).

    Vrabel and Brown et al. really need to read up on common law because what they are advocating right now is slavery under maritime, babylonian, oligarchical collectivist/communist rule. (Vrabel did say he knew of this stuff, yet…)

    “As I shall discuss in some detail in the Epilogue, Volkish thinking grew
    out of the response of romanticism to the Enlightenment in general and to
    the birth of its offspring, industrialised modernity, in particular. Receiv-
    ing an initial impetus from romantic thinkers such as Herder, Ho ̈ lderlin,
    Novalis, Schelling and Fichte, early figures of importance in the Volkish
    movement proper were Nietzsche’s near contemporaries Heinrich Riehl,
    Paul de Lagarde and, crucially, Richard Wagner. Nietzsche’s friends Franz
    Overbeck and Heinrich von Stein also thought along Volkish lines.
    Volkish thinkers were appalled by the alienated, materialistic, mechan-
    istic, secular, urban, creepingly democratic, mass culture of modernity
    which they saw as the product of Enlightenment rationalism. In the quest
    for a more spiritual, less alienated society they looked to an idealised
    image of the pre-Enlightenment past. What they found in that past was
    the spiritual unity of a Volk.
    A Volk was conceived as a quasi-personal entity with a particular ‘will’,
    ‘mission’ or ‘destiny’. It was thought of as prior to the state: as the vehicle
    of the Volk, the state’s laws are justified to, but only to, the extent they
    reflect the ethos of the Volk. And it was thought of as prior to the
    individual: as an organic totality, its well-being takes precedence over –
    or, better put, constitutes – the well-being of individuals, so that the
    meaning and highest value of individual lives lie in their contribution to
    the well-being of the whole. As the First World War approached, Volkish
    thinkers were thus disposed to contrast Germany as a nation of ‘Helden
    (heroes)’ with England – which they saw as epitomising the degeneracy of
    atomised, materialistic modernity – as a nation of ‘Ha ̈ ndler (traders)’. As
    an organism such as the human body is made up of different organs, some subservient to others, so Volkish thinkers wished to preserve social differences, more specifically social hierarchy. Many saw the medieval estates as a social ideal.”

    “the state’s laws are justified to, but only to, the extent they
    reflect the ethos of the Volk”

    “‘The political question today’, he (von rompuy) suggested in his dinner comments, ‘is how to translate this shared history and our shared values into a shared future’. Moreover, he added, it is not enough to ‘list the essential values we share on both sides of the Atlantic’. Something more is needed: a shared narrative.”

    http://jpeterburgess.com/blog/von-rompuy’s-transatlantic-security-narrative/

    http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/113630.pdf

    “In the mythical past, the famous empire of Atlantis was engulfed by the sea. Let’s take this as a metaphor for climate challenge… Saving the planet from a climate catastrophe and the resulting global insecurity is a daunting task. But, in the name of Atlantis, Europe and America should take up the challenge together!” (von rompuy)

    Wasn’t Hitler obsessed with Atlantis? Are we now looking to a new Volkish communitarian ideal: perhaps defined by European hegemons like Von Rompuy?

    Would transitioning to ‘transition towns’ and finding ‘common ground’ (shared values) be a move in the ‘right direction’?

    Aren’t we going to be forced to swallow this medicine for the good of the global community?

    Are we being initiated into a quasi-VonRompuyish Orphic cult? Is that a part of the ‘austerity sell’?

    The sovereigns are ‘giving us up’, Adam. Our legal system is dependent upon the authority of the sovereign. These sovereigns are now genuflecting to communitarian EU law, as Dedo indicated.

    Our ties are lined up to the edge of the abyss by these sovereigns. We look within to see the crimes of humanity executed within the context of sovereign digress.

    And now? Shall we proceed in the “name of Atlantis” to evolve under their root race clause?

    They cannot erase the principal of what is termed human even through murder. It is this basic principal which will succeed: not by an act of man or god, but by its very nature.

    @Dark Pools

    Alpha says to launch “dark liquidity” pool in Q4
    6 minutes ago via Thomson Reuters
    * Trading facility subject to regulatory approval

    * Alpha aims to win up to 40 pct market share

    * Move could take business from TMX Group

    By Jennifer Kwan

    TORONTO, July 16 (Reuters) – Canada’s Alpha Group, the Toronto Stock Exchange’s main rival, plans to launch a “dark pool” facility that enables buyers and sellers to match trades anonymously, in its latest effort to win business from competitors.

    The country’s biggest alternative trading system, which has captured 20 percent of the Canadian stock trading market since its November 2008 launch, said on Friday it expects to open the facility in the fourth quarter of this year. The plan is subject to regulatory approval.

    In dark pools, many of which are independent, buy and sell orders are matched anonymously so that the intentions of the traders aren’t broadcast to the wider market.

    The move could put further pressure on TMX, which runs the TSX and the junior TSX Venture Exchange. Its share of equity trading has fallen to just over 70 percent in June from nearly 90 percent a year earlier, according to public data.

    Dubbed “IntraSpread,” the Alpha dark pool will allow dealers to seek trading matches within their firm at the best prices.

    Assuming it is approved by regulators, the new dark pool could have a major advantage over many rivals given its ownership structure. Alpha is owned by the investment dealer arms of the country’s largest banks, who direct much of the stock trading flow in Canada.

    These include BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc , CIBC World Markets Inc , National Bank Financial Inc , RBC Dominion Securities Inc , Scotia Capital Inc , and TD Securities Inc , as well as Canaccord Capital Inc , Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and Desjardins Securities Inc.

    Jos Schmitt, chief executive of Alpha, said the new trading facility is expected to help the firm to expand its market share to between 30 percent and 40 percent by 2012.

    He said the trading alternative will benefit clients of participating dealers by offering “a trade price better than the NBBO (national best bid offer) of all transparent marketplaces in Canada,” and lower fees than rivals.

    Alpha’s move mirrors a trend seen in the United States, where several big banks run in-house dark pools to shave trading costs.

    Banks that run their own dark pools, such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc , can avoid the fees associated with sending orders to exchanges when they “internalize” orders from their clients, their proprietary trading desks, and from elsewhere.

    Much of the concern about dark pools is that their anonymous nature means that stock pricing may not be transparent.

    But Schmitt said the facility will be offered to all Alpha subscribers.

    “This is a facility that all dealers who are subscribers of Alpha — over 80 now — can use to provide their own clients with price improvement while at the same time reducing the cost of trading,” he said.

    Two dark pools currently operate in Canada including Match Now, owned by Investment Technology Group and Liquidnet, which caters to the buy side. Combined, the dark pools make up just over 1 percent of total stock trading share, according to public data. (Reporting by Jennifer Kwan; Editing by Frank McGurty and Jeffrey Hodgson)

    http://ca.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idCATRE66F2YJ20100716

    Note: That means so-called “dark pools” cater to the sell-side, meaning infinite naked shorting of shares. In Canada, naked shorting is perfectly legal, the practise being that you can naked short as much as you want, but you are obliged to buy every last share sell order back. You can keep these buy back orders in escrow as long as you can provide liquidity to the account, otherwise, you buy back all of your sell-side orders. Thus the markets show no mismatch of shares at all. Much of the buying by sell-side brokers is a glib matching of shares, rather than actual buying.

    However, if you want to settle your account, money goes out the door. So shares which exist solely in cyberspace trade ad infinitum with no money actually changing hands.

    This works exactly the same way in jurisdictions where naked shorting is illegal, but not pursued in any sense, since this is the way the commercial banking sector competes with one another, by creating a poker table with only a handful of players.

  41. The boyz in New York are definitely at it again. If they get gold below 1185 then there will be some technical sell off and day traders will do the job JP Morgan and co started, IMHO. But what do I know Im just in parrot mode as suggested by Bonn. Dollar down, gold down, I know enough to see the manipulation, pity the regulators are bought and paid for, otherwise the would see it too. Might just take a weekend off the doom and gloom myself and enjoy time with the family.

    “The nationalistic use of the Atlantis myth in seventeenth century Sweden and in Nazi Germany also illustrates the power of individual agency in shaping history. Olof Rudbeck almost single-handedly developed the Swedish-Nordic interpretation of Atlantis that trickled down to Nazi Germany, and without Himmler’s obsessive fascination with an Aryan connection to Atlantis, it is doubtful that this theory would have been so influential. Inherent in these Atlantean origin stories are an assumption of some form of racial and ideological continuity from the distant past and a belief in hyperdiffusionism – that some peoples are dispensers of culture while other peoples simply pick up the scraps. In response to Himmler’s intense interest in German prehistory, Hitler once complained, “Why do we call the whole world’s attention to the fact that we have no past?” (qtd. in Pringle 2006: 66). It was precisely this ingrained assumption of lacking a history that Himmler was striving to wipe out with his conjectures of an exalted past, a past that would place the Aryans in the role of cultural dispensers on a scale of unbeatable proportions.”

    “Our values, our interests, our multiple dialogues create an extraordinary basis for a strong Transatlantic partnership. In order to forge a common destiny, what one needs above all these, is a common story. A story about one’s place in the flow of time.” (von rompuy)

    “The worm is turning,” said David Bloom, currency chief at HSBC. “We’re in a world of rotating sovereign crises. The market seems to become obsessed with one idea at a time, then violently swings towards another. People thought the euro would break-up. Now we’re moving into a new phase because we’re hearing alarm bells of a US double dip.”

    The real enemy is the Hegelian necessity as defined by those with access to the sdr index/unit. The terminology as Von Rompuy indicated was ‘climate change’.

    ” It is about protecting the environment by “climate wardens”.”

    http://www.consilium.europa.eu/uedocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/113630.pdf

    The plan is to collapse the dollar index and demonetize commodities. Destroying private (tbtf) bank equity and liquidity only furthers the sdr hegemony.

    Von Rompuy is the lynchpin of the hegelian ideal state of which we “must needs find our happy servitude” in oneness.

  71. frances snoot

    @Dork:
    You are right to mention that singularity breeds societal contempt for the singular person: but groupthink breeds weakness for the individual.

    The ‘founding fathers’ indicated that we were endowed by ‘our creator’ with inalienable rights. These rights were granted by the sovereign through the register of law and church: our rights are an inherent quality of being human and not granted or permitted one by god nor man.

    The rights we deign humans are not rights but privileges. Our rights we know to be self-evident.

    Officials also seized assets from 15 bank, investment and advertising accounts, and executed residential search warrants in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Washington.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials worked with the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.”

    “Last week, the European Parliament adopted a proposal to retain all Internet search traffic, known as “Written Declaration 29.” Search engine Ixquick has opposed this law and has vowed to fight against it.

    The law mainly aims on cracking down on pedophiles, but Ixquick points that such laws may not be helpful as the most of the offenders use an underground network to exchange information.

    Regarded as the world’s most private search engine, search engine Ixquick, has built a strong privacy reputation by storing no search data on its users. The company believes it has been singled out by the data retention proposal, and it has vowed to strongly oppose the measure becoming law, it stated in a press release.”

  93. Youri, you are right, increases in CO2 have previously been detected AFTER the initial increase in temperature. BUT, during previous warming periods the CO2 still increased during the temperature increase. The lag time is about 1/5 of the total duration of temperature increase. In other words, CO2 is likely to be amplifying the temperature increase.

    On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
    Any place it goes is right
    Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

    Well, you don’t know what we can find
    Why don’t you come with me little girl
    On a magic carpet ride

    Why don’t you tell your dreams to me

    Close your eyes girl
    Look inside girl

    Last night I held Aladdin’s lamp
    And so I wished that I could stay
    Before the thing could answer me
    Well, someone came and took the lamp away
    I looked around, a lousy candle’s all I found

    Well, you don’t know what we can find
    Why don’t you come with me little girl

    @WL
    Listening to the Nader interview.
    The food safety issue illustrates the flaw in the libertarian framework.
    He believes that government bureaucrats are inferior to private insurance bureaucrats.
    “There should be some private entity perhaps paid paid by the insurance companies that do not want people to be sick “blah blah blah.
    The fact remains that society’s need bureaucrats since the days of Babylon.
    If one group either the state or a private cabal gains monopoly power they can abuse this power for their own benefit.
    This is what I can’t understand about American conservatism – it seems to willfully ignore power dynamics possibly because its pied pipers are being paid by men behind the scenes wishing to wield power without interference.

    It is a sham conservatism – the only thing they are trying to conserve is their own asses and assets.

  109. Ellen Brown (“the Federal Reserve has held short-term interest rates near zero. This was not only to try to stimulate the housing and credit markets…”) Is completely full of it. The world’s central banks, owned by the likes of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Citibank, have rigged the game by getting FOR THEMSELVES almost interest-free money to pick the bones of ravaged companies with- they still happily gouge the little guy 20-30% on his credit card, replete with enormous late fees and charges.
    Just today, CNBC’s British commentator Simon Hobbs, who is generally a reliable apologist for the NWO was talking about how difficult HE found getting a mortgage to be, and there is no denying that small business is being starved for capital. In boa-constrictor type fashion, the little guy is bring squeezed out of business, and the too big to fail are made bigger and bigger.

    Is it a liberty, to take leave.
    Does liberty command order,……
    Are folk who take responsibility for their own lives, given the honor of freedom?
    What is a knighthood? ,…hmmm

  121. The Declaration of Independence was based on an ideal. The hard reality is that most of the guys who wrote it were educated business owners. A number of them had no qualms about owning black slaves, and the liberty they sought was for their social class, not the common man. And at the bottom, it was all about money- England was extracting natural resources and goods from the colonies, and taxing the locals to pay for the empire’s wars. Sound familiar?

    The ideal of the sovereign individual is, in the big picture, unworkable. We all rely on each other to survive. Humans have always functioned in groups, be they families, tribes, cities, fiefdoms or countries. Try to survive on your own sometime; you won’t last long without the things and services provided by others. No man (or woman) is an island. Add to the mix the large population of humans now occupying the planet, and there is no “alone.”

    Following the sociopathic screed of the Ayn Randites, libertarians, etc. leads to the breakdown of society, and ultimately to chaos and death. Acting only in one’s best interest without considering the effect on others and the planet is a recipe for disaster.

    “Whatever its exact metaphysical status, will is the human essence.
    Unless something very extraordinary happens – so extraordinary that it
    can be described as a transcendence of human nature – we are incapable
    (save when asleep, and sometimes not even then) of not willing, incap-
    able of inaction. And this means that life is, on balance, a miserable affair.
    For if the will is unsatisfied then we suffer. Hunger for example is the
    unsatisfied will to eat. But if the will is satisfied we suffer something even
    worse : boredom, a state in which the essential vanity and futility of life
    become inescapably present to us.2 Schopenhauer’s solution to the prob-
    lem – somewhat reminiscent of Stoicism – is asceticism, ‘denial of the
    will’, the cessation of willing, which implies, in the end, of course, death.”

    http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/54221/excerpt/9780521854221_excerpt.pdf

    The state action of defining the common good and communal happiness results in the delineation of personal will and purpose: akin to a kind of death. Norkalkid is quite myopic in his willingness to fling his inalienable right to life and liberty and personal happiness away for some token words from an overfattened sovereign.

    Human will exacts the toll of vanity as a precept of life. Coercion and control by state agency is not the solvent: indeed, the rhetoric driving social force is fed by those who deem humans as unequal.

    The key function in the understanding of human rights is the willingness to accept human equality as it transcends age, sex, and race.

  130. frances snoot

    @chArles:
    You have quite the nook of understanding to pronounce unfit other’s conjugations due to some lack you subject.

  131. frances snoot

    The caveat to inalienable right is equality. It is ludicrous that the force to deny men their inherent ability is driven by those who use privilege as a means to deny other men privilege.

    Norkalkid: argue the inequality of men as the caveat for your pungent variety of freedom.

  132. The Dork of Cork

    Anybody looking for something extra in their lives should just put a backpack on your back and disappear into the hills for a while.
    Its a completly pointless exercise but it is strangely satisfying to think of only the simple things in life.
    I recommend it as very effective medication – even the royalty in the Scottish estates now recognize the right to roam amongst their lands as it is methadone for the masses

  133. frances snoot

    “Some will object that this discriminates against people with disabilities. If we return to the hypothetical assumption that a year with quadriplegia is valued at only half as much as a year without it, then a treatment that extends the lives of people without disabilities will be seen as providing twice the value of one that extends, for a similar period, the lives of quadriplegics. That clashes with the idea that all human lives are of equal value.”

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/19/magazine/19healthcare-t.html?pagewanted=5

    It certainly does “clash”. The inevitable result of the state definition of ‘quality of life’ is state-sanctioned death (murder).

    We better decide what truths we hold self-evident: are humans equal or are they not equal?

    The basis for the social agenda of the G20 is that humans are not equal. It is the resonate reasoning behind colonialism.

    Has the human race learned nothing?

  134. frances snoot

    “It would be a great misunderstanding of this doctrine to suppose that it is one of selfish indifference, which pretends that human beings have no business with each other’s conduct in life, and that they should not concern themselves about the well-doing or well-being of one another, unless their own interest is involved. Instead of any diminution, there is need of a great increase of disinterested exertion to promote the good of others. But disinterested benevolence can find other instruments to persuade people to their good, than whips and scourges, either of the literal or the metaphorical sort. I am the last person to undervalue the self-regarding virtues; they are only second in importance, if even second, to the social. It is equally the business of education to cultivate both. But even education works by conviction and persuasion as well as by compulsion, and it is by the former only that, when the period of education is past, the self-regarding virtues should be inculcated. Human beings owe to each other help to distinguish the better from the worse, and encouragement to choose the former and avoid the latter. They should be for ever stimulating each other to increased exercise of their higher faculties, and increased direction of their feelings and aims towards wise instead of foolish, elevating instead of degrading, objects and contemplations. But neither one person, nor any number of persons, is warranted in saying to another human creature of ripe years, that he shall not do with his life for his own benefit what he chooses to do with it. He is the person most interested in his own well-being: the interest which any other person, except in cases of strong personal attachment, can have in it, is trifling, compared with that which he himself has; the interest which society has in him individually (except as to his conduct to others) is fractional, and altogether indirect: while, with respect to his own feelings and circumstances, the most ordinary man or woman has means of knowledge immeasurably surpassing those that can be possessed by any one else. The interference of society to overrule his judgment and purposes in what only regards himself, must be grounded on general presumptions; which may be altogether wrong, and even if right, are as likely as not to be misapplied to individual cases, by persons no better acquainted with the circumstances of such cases than those are who look at them merely from without. In this department, therefore, of human affairs, Individuality has its proper field of action. In the conduct of human beings towards one another, it is necessary that general rules should for the most part be observed, in order that people may know what they have to expect; but in each person’s own concerns, his individual spontaneity is entitled to free exercise. Considerations to aid his judgment, exhortations to strengthen his will, may be offered to him, even obtruded on him, by others; but he himself is the final judge. All errors which he is likely to commit against advice and warning, are far outweighed by the evil of allowing others to constrain him to what they deem his good.”

    yes I do…I excell at this…but this is a personal failing and not a failing of the ideas I express (i.e an attack against the little boy) the great thing about the modern world is if you can work a search engine one can sound profound…where exactly does old Schop lead the human species?

    not saying that ideas should or shouldn’t better the human condition…( the Marx in me say it must and the Aquinus agrees with him) but his concepts were easily disgaurded in the Western tradition and he has been discarded as a footnote to old Nietz…who did offer slightly more substance than Schop

    prove there exist “inequality” amougst humans snoot…one can’t without privledging certian concepts/qualities over others for no other reason then one favor them

    and there ain’t no “RIGHTS” this saddens me snoot…after you just quoted Mr WILL you assert this concept?

    Nietzsche is handy for those of us without your broad-based assertions: sometimes one reaches for a scapel.

    Besides, the intellectual community has delivered Nietzsche from the corner where he was ostracized for his peculiar habit of speaking his mind. (He is now a communitarian according to Cambridge press) Anyway, he didn’t get a Pulitzer for lying.

    I taught for a bit and was put in my place roundly by those whom you would feel had little to offer: they did, and it did me good. Sandpaper applied to the rough edges, and intellect not measured by the meandering through dusty shelves…

As opposed to bombing them, starving them, bombing again, capped off by a bloody occupation/CIA civil war. The generalized blindness of my countrymen to the basic contours of reality is staggering.

    @F. Beard

    I am not realy on to your discussion but just let me say, and I’ve said it before that Keynes has not one single bit to do with Bernanke or what happened in the U.S.. What happened was a simple wealth transfer from the taxpayers to the banksters who saw their bets becoming before snake eyes. After their debacle they simply sat on their money and continued their betting game with the diffirence that banks don’t lend to each other or the real economy which as a result game tumbling down wich is still happening.

    I agree on the debt part which has to be wiped but this should have happened from the beginning without the crazy wealth heist. This doesn’t mean it still can’t be done. I call the the Tulip Mania sollution the only and real lesson which can be drwan from this historical event but even that some so-called economics don’t understand. How to cope with so much ignorance and ill mindness? Force Majeure!

  163. I agree on the debt part which has to be wiped but this should have happened from the beginning without the crazy wealth heist. This doesn’t mean it still can’t be done. Youri

    It sure can be with a distribution of sufficient new legal tender fiat to every adult equally, combined with leverage restrictions on the banks to prevent hyperinflation.

    Force Majeure! Youri

    Indeed! The banks profited via government privilege therefor a government remedy is justified. Still, even the banks would be fixed in nominal terms so they should not complain.

    female slavery

    “On 13 April this year a female aid worker, Hossai, 22, was shot as she left the office of an American development organisation and died the next day. She had been threatened by the Taliban the previous week. Many of the threats are contained in letters delivered to the door at night – known as “night letters” – or left at the local mosque. Soon after Hossai was killed, Nadia – who worked for an international NGO – got a letter telling her to stop working for infidels and “in the same way that yesterday we have killed Hossai, whose name was on our list, your name and other women’s names are on our list”. Sometimes the same letter is sent to a number of women. In late 2009, in Kapisa province east of Kabul, women were warned not to ring up radio stations and request songs. They were told if they did they would be beheaded or acid thrown in their faces.”

    “Girls’ schools, which sprang up again after 2001, are once more being ordered to close. In Kunduz province in the north, the shadow Taliban governor sent out orders that no girls were to be educated past puberty. One threatening letter delivered to a school read: “You were already informed by us to close the school and not mislead the pure and innocent girls under this non-Muslim government.”

    Bankstas sued by FDIC

    WASHINGTON — Bank regulators have accused four former executives of failed IndyMac Bank of negligence in making loans to homebuilders and are seeking a total $300 million in damages.

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which took over California-based IndyMac when it collapsed two years ago, filed the civil lawsuit against the four executives in federal court in Los Angeles. The suit, filed July 2, is the FDIC’s first legal volley related to the wave of bank failures in the financial crisis, and an FDIC spokesman said Wednesday that more can be expected in the future.

    The FDIC alleges in the suit that the four IndyMac officers “negligently” approved loans to homebuilders around the country that had slim chance of being repaid.

    Allen said two possible reasons were being debated by scientists: The reservoir that is the source of the oil could be running lower three months into the spill. Or there could be an undiscovered leak somewhere down in the well. Allen ordered further study but remained confident.

    Nietzche sought to be freed from truth, reason and the absolute of history. He wanted the now and not the beyond. He wanted to be himself “superman” (surpass man) The bankers and leaders are living by the religion of Nietzche. “He knows but one law; and that law is his own law, the law of force, the law which is at once its own sanction and its own delimitation.” (Beyond Good and Evil)

    But Nietzche fails every time through eternity because in the end he still needs a criterion. He will not admit it… trying to avoid at all costs a judge over man, God.

  189. chalcedonite

    WIKI: “However, Nietzsche cautions that morality, per se, is not bad; it is good for the masses, and should be left to them. Exceptional people, on the other hand, should follow their own “inner law.” A favorite motto of Nietzsche, taken from Pindar, reads: “Become what you are.”"

    Nietsche was a philosopher and as such did not claim an end to his musings or declare a hell for those outside his perspective, unlike the church of the living fraud.

    “On August 25, 1900, Nietzsche died in the villa as he approached his 56th year, apparently of pneumonia in combination with a stroke.”

    Oh, that hungry. Here, Dan. I like this:

    “That was when I learned that words are no good; that words dont ever fit even what they are trying to say at….I knew that fear was invented by someone who never had the fear; pride, who never had the pride. I knew that it had been, not that they had dirty noses, but that we had had to use one another by words like spiders dangling by their mouths from a beam, swinging and twisting and never touching…

    He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words from a long time. I knew that the word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack…” (Faulkner, As I Lay Dying)

    the the desire to pursue TRUTH which is became the intellectual basis for Christianity (God and TRUTH become encaplsulized) was once Augustine and Aquinis try to merge the Hellenistic with the Hebraic thus was sowed the seeds of Gods demise

    @chArles:
    The reading of the germanic philosophers helps one posit the moves of the European Council, no?

    The latest ‘take’ on Nietzsche is that he did not aim to kill god but to reform religion:

    “Realising I had no answer to these questions I undertook a systematic
    rereading of the texts for a graduate seminar at Auckland in the first semester of 2004. The – to me, at least – initially startling answer that emerged is that Nietzsche in fact never abandoned his religious communitarianism. To the end – such is the argument of this book – Nietzsche’s fundamental concern, his highest value, lies with the flourishing of community,1 and to the end he believes that this can happen only through the flourishing of communal religion.”

    As Unemployment Extentions Run Out, Social Serices Agencies Begin To Take Children

    In a new development regarding the ending of unemployment extensions for millions Americans, suddenly poor families with virtually no income face the loss of home, transportation and for some, even the loss of their children. In a startling development, indirectly caused by our social welfare system, families face separation or total loss of children to child protective services and/or other social service agencies. There are two ways parents are losing children according to Insider “Audrey” in California right now.

    Mothers are finding out and often encouraged by social service staff to leave their jobless husbands by offering them up to $800 per month in food stamps , …

    Phibro Takes On Willy Wonka: Chocolitango In The Futures Market Reeks Of A Physical Squeeze Attempt

    … It appears that a Phibro/Buffett-inspired attempt to corner a commodity market is in progress. Amusingly (or not so much for chocolate mousse cake makers), it is occurring in the relatively compact and illiquid cocoa market, where the WSJ reports ten brokers (mainly BNP Paribas) took possession of more than 240,000 tons of cocoa, valued at as much as $1 billion, leaving just 6,710 tons available for purchase. The Telegraph adds some further color: “The cocoa beans, which are sitting in warehouses either in The Netherlands, Hamburg, or closer to home in London, Liverpool or Humberside is equivalent to the entire supply of the commodity in Europe, and would fill more than five Titanics….

    There would be no drug war if Americans would stop consuming drugs. I don’t understand why there is no activism from individual citizens to stop…stop using.

    There are all kinds of activism of every stripe, every color. Why are there no proponents of “stopping usage, demand from Americans?” The power of these drug thugs (suppliers) would be lost and so would be the violence if Americans did not consume.

    If one favors legalization then why not win that first in the US. If there is no win in the courts or politics then why not stop the war by denying the supply by denying the demand.

    All this talk of GLOBAL WARMING…and we could end violence and murder TODAY…if people would stop demanding their drugs. A person’s life could be made whole TODAY! In some place, someone is being murdered or tortured because Americans cannot stop using drugs!

  250. In the end, we are all damned

    Why we will never win: Look at the data regarding employment and mean annual income in Washington DC. See who is #1!

    Like Wall Street, these two places are becoming too powerful respective to the rest of the country. Finance is now 40% of the US economy as a share of GDP. And Washington is in its own enclave, on its own island, supported by Wall Street.

    The rest of America just works and lives and has no idea of “power” and how it is to be abrogated. America is lost!
