Economic Collapse Blog

Doesn't it seem like almost everything is becoming a crime in America now? Americans are being arrested and charged with crimes for doing things like leaving dog poop on the ground, opening up Christmas presents early, not recycling properly, farting in class and having brown lawns. But is it healthy for our society for the police to be involved in such silly things? Every single day the United States inches closer to becoming a totalitarian society...

Heartland Institute

By a 3-2 vote, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski?s latest network neutrality iteration came to pass, reeking of bureaucratic arrogance. Arrogance not only toward the majority of the public who expressed their contentment with the Internet without government intrusion, but also toward a Congress that refused to relinquish any statutory authority whatsoever to the FCC, and toward industry stakeholders warning of the negative economic and employment impact of the maneuver...

BBC News reports that Alcatel-Lucent, a global powerhouse in the telecommunications industry, 'will pay $137m (£88.7m) to settle US charges that it paid bribes to win Latin American and Asian contracts.' ... The most remarkable feature of the story is how very unremarkable it is ? that a giant corporation would bribe a government is in a very real way the definition of politics...

New Year's Prediction II

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "What will happen to the US economy in 2011? If you're referring to profits of big corporations and Wall Street, next year is likely to be a good one. But if you're referring to average American workers, far from good. The two American economies - the Big Money economy and the Average Working Family economy - will continue to diverge. Corporate profits will continue to rise, as will the stock market. But typical wages will go nowhere, joblessness will remain high, the ranks of the long-term unemployed will continue to rise, the housing recovery will remain stalled, and consumer confidence will sag."

False foreclosures and the free market

We can understand how governments will do these things, even if that understanding is based on a very dark view of government, but we have to remember that financial institutions in this country basically have become yet another arm of the State. Along with the billions in bailout money came new regulations and more government 'oversight' that in effect has turned the banks and financial houses into de facto government bureaucracies...

Does nullification lead to anarchy?

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty
by Steve Palmer

12/29/10

One of the most common arguments against nullification has to do with anarchy and the rule of law. The horrified central planner exclaims, 'Nullification! We can't have that in a lawful society. That would lead to anarchy!' The nullifier then responds, 'No. You're confused. Anarchy is when the central government usurps a power not granted by the Constitution. Nullification is how we restore order' ...

Patriotism as political correctness

Political correctness isn't just hypersensitivity; it's hypersensitivity designed to place a permanent stamp on impressionable young minds. From this perspective, political correctness isn't essentially leftist. Indeed, with the benefit of hindsight, leftist political correctness hasn't been all that effective. The full-blown triumph of political correctness, of hypersensitivity plus one-sided education, is patriotism...

Why criticizing American foreign policy is not anti-Americanism

Liberty For All
by Sean Gabb

12/29/10

Are the Americans greater today than before 1917 or 1898? In the military sense, they are so undoubtedly. But every step towards world domination has been at the expense of the qualities that underpin their general greatness. Their government has become more distant and opaque, more centralised and more open to capture by special interests. It has repeatedly violated the old Constitution. Liberties have been abridged on the grounds of dealing with emergencies, and then never restored. America has been at war almost throughout the whole of the past century -- at war with other countries, or at war with abstractions like 'drugs' or 'terrorism.' As everywhere else, war has been the health of the State and the sickness of the people. If the Americans today remain the freest people in the world, that is only because they started with so much more to lose...

Robert Scheer, Truthdig: "Two years into the Obama presidency, and the economic data is still looking grim. Don't be fooled by the gyrations of the stock market, where optimism is mostly a reflection of the ability of financial corporations - thanks to massive government largesse - to survive the mess they created. The basics are dismal: Unemployment is unacceptably high, the December consumer confidence index is down, and housing prices have fallen for four months in a row. The number of Americans living in poverty has never been higher, and a majority in a Washington Post poll said they were worried about making their next mortgage or rent payment."

Christian Science Monitor

12/28/10)

House prices fell across the US in October and have dropped roughly 2 percent nationwide since June, according to data released by Standard & Poor's Tuesday. The news sent a sharp reminder that real estate remains a weak spot in the recovering US economy, and that the price declines that began four years ago probably aren't finished. One potential reason for the decline: the impact of a temporary tax credit designed to lure home buyers has faded...

Robert Naiman, Truthout: "As we celebrate Christmas 2010, 100,000 US troops languish in Afghanistan, and Bradley Manning sits in 'maximum custody' in Quantico for the alleged crime of disclosing classified 'secrets' about US foreign policy - 'secrets' like the video of US troops killing two Reuters employees in Iraq, a video that the US military refused to release to Reuters. It is a particular stain on our country to be at war during the Season of Peace, just as it is a particular stain on our country to be at war during the Olympics. 'Peace on Earth' should stick in our throats a bit this holiday season, when our own government is bombing other people's countries, a practice which we have, so far, been unable to stop."

US to Vatican: Genetically Modified Food Is a "Moral Imperative"

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "Secret United States diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks detail efforts to promote genetically modified (GM) crops and biotechnology across the globe, including the Vatican, where US diplomats pushed the Roman Catholic Church to support biotech food in developing nations. Cables from embassies in Spain, Austria and even Pakistan reveal the US diplomats have clearly sided with the biotech industry, even as court cases and public debates over GM food raged in the US and abroad."

The treasonous US government

Strike The Root Strike the Root
by Scott Lazarowitz

12/28/10

The ongoing WikiLeaks affair has been an expose of who really understands the principles that define America, and who is truly confused. The 'classified' leakers and their publishers ... are merely attempting to expose the State and its crimes as well as its outright ridiculousness and irrationality. The ones who defend the State?s intrusions abroad, the killing of innocents, the occupations of foreign lands, the removal of due process through renditions, indefinite detentions and assassinations without cause or even suspicion, are the ones who want to suppress any exposing of those State crimes...

The year 2011 will bring Americans a larger and more intrusive police state, more unemployment and home foreclosures, no economic recovery, more disregard by the US government of US law, international law, the Constitution, and truth, more suspicion and distrust from allies, more hostility from the rest of the world, and new heights of media sycophancy...

Milagros Salazar, Inter Press Service: "The construction of five hydroelectric dams in Peru as part of an energy deal with Brazil will do considerable damage to the environment, such as the destruction of nearly 1.5 million hectares of jungle over the next 20 years, according to an independent study. More than 1,000 km of roads will have to be carved out of primary and secondary forests to build the dams and power plants and put up power lines, says the report, carried out by engineer Jose Serra for ProNaturaleza, a leading conservation organisation in Peru."

Randall Amster J.D., Ph.D., Truthout: "While much condemnation has rightly been expressed toward Arizona's anti-immigrant law, SB 1070, a less-reported and potentially more sinister measure is set to take effect on January 1, 2011. This new law, which was passed by the conservative state legislature at the behest of then-School Superintendent (and now Attorney General-elect) Tom Horne, is designated HB 2281 and is colloquially referred to as a measure to ban ethnic studies programs in the state. As with SB 1070, the implications of this law are problematic, wide-ranging and decidedly hate filled."

http://www.truth-out.org/arizona-bans-ethnic-studies-and-along-with-it-reason-and-justice66340



Ethnic Studies Classes Illegal in Arizona as of January 1

Lourdes Medrano, The Christian Science Monitor: "A controversial Arizona law targeting ethnic studies in public schools will take effect come midnight.... The law bans classes that promote the overthrow of the United States government and resentment toward a race or class of people. Also outlawed are courses designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group and those that advocate ethnic solidarity rather than treat students as individuals. In Arizona, critics claim that the law ? along with the partially suspended immigration law ? threatens to make the state a "new South" of discrimination against minorities."

Terrill is among dozens of state legislators drafting measures that match or go further than the Arizona law, which requires police to check the immigration status of people stopped for questioning...

Here we go again. Swine Flu Terror UK is currently in full swing with an epidemic shortly to occur, announces the UK mainstream media. Cynics have speculated that the UK government has massive stocks of flu vaccine to shift and what with the electorate (especially medical professionals) deeply reluctant to get jabbed with the vaccine for the very best of educated reasons, a media campaign has been mounted to sensationalise dodgy flu statistics in order to shift the product. Could they be right? If the entirely vested interests UK media's Swine Flu coverage bias is anything to go by, WikiLeaks needs to get its act together to ensure a level playing field in the future so that the information the organisation is releasing does not continue to be delivered exclusively through the fractured mainstream media prism that so many have grown to rightly distrust. You swallow holus bolus what you read in the mainstream media in regard to WikiLeaks, Swine Flu or any thing else at your peril.

Number Of Uninsured Americans Soars To Over 50 Million:

Among the report's most troubling findings: The number of Americans without any health care coverage grew by more than four million in 2009. That left almost one-fifth of non-elderly people uninsured. Among those between 19 and 29 years old, nearly one-third lacked coverage.

But chances are you don?t know the name Thomas Drake, a former Vermonter charged under the Espionage Act for mishandling classified information. His alleged crime?
