Good Primer on Weimar Republic

First, a quick history lesson. The Weimar Republic was born following the end of World War One. The armistice forced Germany’s monarch, Kaiser Wilhelm, to abdicate and leave the country. In the civil chaos and revolution that followed, other major leaders, like the King of Bavaria, also were forced out of power. A semi-coalition government drew up a new constitution in the town of Weimar, hence the name.

The Weimar Republic got off to a shaky start due largely to the financial penalties imposed upon Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. To pay the Allied Powers, mostly Britain and France, France and Belgium even sent troops into Germany to force them to pay. Germany fired up the printing presses and cranked out worthless currency to pay the tab. After a few years of hyperinflation, the Weimar Republic elected a new chancellor, as well as a new head of the Reichsbank, and after November 1923 or so, the economy began to stabilize. But the social unrest was still prevalent. More

Europeans Can’t Even Be Bothered To Hate America Anymore

Stacy Summary:  Post Anti-Americanism.  But what will a post-America America look like? (via 321gold)

And when you read about America in European newspapers, what you are likely to find is a tone bordering on pity. The U.S. is depicted as a fraying empire of obesity, ignorance, debt, gridlock, stagnation, and mindless war. Sure, the iPad is cool, but it is evidence of what America was, not what it will be again. The stories are not angry, accusatory, or even ideological. It’s worse: they are condescendingly elegiac.

Google Tears a Page From Israel’s playbook. There’s No Business Like the Ghetto Business.

Google’s betrayal of the public trust and abuse of the tax funded subsidy gifted to them – to bilk hundreds of billions in revenues from the publicly financed Internet – has made them public enemy No 2, right behind Lloyd Blankfein.

We will all be living in a virtual Gaza soon; a digital ghetto created by war profiteering, market and regulatory rigging scum that blast their poisonous lies over corporate media 24/7 – corrupting babies in the womb.

Children born in America today will be born into a Google-Verizon owned and operated digital ghetto. Next on the agenda will be new laws to legalize online gambling. This will be the final nail in the coffin of the country previously known as America.

I feel privileged, I have lived during the time of ‘Peak America.’ I feel horrible for those coming up now; grad school debt slaves working as pole dancers, MIT ‘quant’ geeks working as ‘fluffers’ for Goldman Sachs. They will never know what America was like before the womb robbing pigs and charlatans on Wall St. and Google sucked the marrow of the Declaration of Independence of its very last drops of hope.
